Microscopes and optical tables in the US use mixed units. For example, you will often get a product marketed "25.4mm" which is 1 inch. Frequently a single optical table will mix components between imperial and metric.

You can see some of the approaches here:

Yeah, Google Docs isn't really intended to handle much more than 100 or so concurrent viewers. They've optimized it for "1 million simultaneous users looking at 300k documents", not "1 million simultaneous users looking at 1 document".

I'm glad to see the domain of constraint programming and operational research in general generate interest so I thought I would take the opportunity to share some links and resources I have found useful. Personally, I've spent most of my time on the routing (TSP, VRP, VRPTW) side of things using CP (OscaR-CP).

Discrete optimization and constraint programming can be a bit difficult to get into. There are two great free online courses on Coursera that do a good job at introducing the topic.

Discrete Optimization

https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization

I don't remember the exact content of this course but I believe it covers the basics in a few different methodologies.

Basic Modeling for Discrete Optimization

https://www.coursera.org/learn/basic-modeling

This is a great course by Peter Stuckey that uses MiniZinc.
The MiniZinc programming language is a great starting point that teaches you to think of solving discrete optimization problems only in terms of modelling the problem.

Håkan Kjellerstrands blog is another great resource

http://www.hakank.org/

It contains hundreds of different models for a large variety of different solvers.
Chances are that he has created a model for your solver for a similar problem.

Two books worth mentioning are:

Handbook of Constraint Programming

Principles of Constraint Programming

Other solvers/frameworks:

The OscaR library

https://bitbucket.org/oscarlib/oscar/wiki/Home

My personal favorite. An OR framework written entirely in Scala. As such it's an absolute joy to work with and the internals are (relatively speaking) easier to understand.

GeCode

https://www.gecode.org/

Another extremely potent solver. Exclusively CP based.

Mini-CP

https://minicp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

An extremly lightweight CP solver, designed for educational purposed to expose how a CP solver works without obfuscating performance optimizations found in research/production solvers.

MiniZinc

https://www.minizinc.org/

A solver agnostic constraint modelling languages, designed to interface a given optimization model with different solvers.

A few notable researches:

Phil Kilby

Pascal Van Hentenryck

Paul Shaw

Laurent Perron - OR-tools

Peter Stuckey - MiniZinc

Pierre Schaus - OscaR, Mini-CP

Renaud Hartert - OscaR

I also want to make a plug for the work of the Uppsala University optimization group

http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/optimisation/

Especially the work of Pierre Flener, Gustav Björdal and Justin Pearson who I've had the pleasure to work with during my masters thesis on vehicle routing using CP.
You'd say that you both paid for that, and he's breaking it.
I agree with the OP’s assessment - as recently as two weeks ago, Libaom was too slow to even do quality testing on real footage. And that’s with forty modern Xeon cores.

The fact that YouTube uses it only proves the increasingly obvious business model they use in the space, namely the monopolization of the encoding ecosystem by literally throwing away money to steer people clear of rav1e.

Nobody seems to be taking real estimated number of infections, instead they take number of confirmed cases. Confirmed cases don't include - infected people in incubation phase, infected people with non-severe symptoms that were not scanned (age weighted on probability and mapped back on age weighted population) - then you calculate dubling on this estimate, you may have surprise when geometric growth shoots above hospital capacity.

All of above can be calculated with one exception - kids will have to be excluded because we don't know if they carry/infect and don't get symptoms or they don't have symptoms because they are immune.

But this calculation is easy enough to give rule of thumb estimate formula to apply to official confimed cases to get back real estimated number of infections.

> Now you have to remember the counter field and username you used for each site.

No you don't. You can store it anywhere you like. It's publicly-safe information. The counter isn't a form of security; it's merely a vector to generate a new password from the master one. You could write the counter down on a piece of paper and show it to everyone and it wouldn't matter.

Except in this case there are no IV or nonce involved and every key derivation is perfectly replayable.

Let's pause for a second and think what is the point of using password managers - I take it as a means to allow each account to have unique passwords that the leak of any of them won't lead to more account breaches. The method being shown here does nothing in this aspect as every password is effectively the same master password hashed with a known salt. One might argue that a costly derivation path could make bruteforcing impractical but it doesn't help with the fact that the concept is unsound from the beginning.

That is a different thing then what was alleged in this article (that the Americans were trying to produce a vaccine only for the US).

By the way, the trick with anonymous sources is to always see who is actually quoted in the article, and assume that the anonymous source is what the real source wants to say, but doesn't obviously want to say it. In this case:

Karl Lauterbach, a professor of health economics and epidemiology who is also a senior lawmaker with the Social Democrats, junior partners in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition, tweeted in reaction to the Welt am Sonntag report:

“The exclusive sale of a possible vaccine to the USA must be prevented by all means. Capitalism has limits.”
That's quite a lot of sensationalism for one article. While it's true that the situation needs to be actively dealt with, phrases like the below help no one:

> Now it’s a pandemic that nobody can stop.

It's incredibly weird to read that in the same article that also points out how many countries did in fact stop the spread. There are many other similar examples in the text.
but if the teacher is fully shown, or perhaps the upper body (in Japanese culture, people like to see the upper body during webcam sessions, not just the head), then it would still convey authority and confidence while watching the video?

Attenborough recently accepted criticism that he went too far in avoiding the topic of environmental damage (i.e. finding angles to imply pristine environments where they no longer exist.)

I would say that makes him a perfect person to raise these topics as his previous bias is to avoid problems until they are beyond grim.

Some Americans, and many of those were duped by propaganda meant to justify tax cuts and deregulation to benefit some businessmen.
I think the main mystery about the UK govts approach can be solved when your realise it is not very clever; just very incompetent. The whole word has been stunned by the herd immunity experiment policy; only to have it denied a week later. We are fools led by clowns.
Depends on the tree species, but the general idea is understandable. For a city avoiding the pressure to prune to death would save a lot in replacement expenses. Workers of course will push to prune as much as possible (they bill each time), and often will kill old trees for this
If the UK government's policy is to deliberately allow widespread infection of the population, the logical response from other countries will be to ban entry to people traveling from the UK.
There are only two countries (China, South Korea) and two city-states (Hong Kong, Singapore) that have managed to stop the spread, I wouldn't call that "many". For comparison all of Europe plus the US and Canada in North America are navigating in the dark, with no visible end in sight.

Surely there's a difference between asking a question and saying things to be an asshole. Let's all strive to be less of an asshole as a society, ok?
Yeah, for sure, but how are you able to predict when the health service will be overrun when the current testing is lagging spread by at least a few day, if not more. But the time the sirens go off, it's already too late.
This is true, however I can't help but feel that the design of the system encourages users to choose a low entropy master password and get a false sense of security seeing a different "strong" password can be produced for every account. The fact that the master password has to be typed frequently to recover the derived passwords adds to the problem.

This is the exact same problem with brain wallets, for which people delude themselves into thinking that they have managed to conjure a secret phrase that only they will know, only to get hacked in no time because the passphrase they came up with was just bad and they could not tell.
This is true for passwords that are hashed and stored in some site's database. Someday computers with be powerful enough to easily break the hash currently stored with your bank account login.
> You are claiming that a study published in January supercedes a study in February.

No, I am no. I am saying the study supercedes numbers reported by authorities. The point of the study was to scatter information on very opaque reporting.

> China's numbers are a minimum. Many people are saying online they are a maximum. I.e. claiming that there are lots of hidden mild infections when there are not.

That doesn't parse.
I don't believe people can improve their core intelligence or "g", no. But I do think that people can become smarter and more knowledgeable generally. A person with a lower g can still learn, grow, and improve. They may take longer to do it, they may reach diminishing returns sooner, but they can do it.
Primarily food and drink stains. My undershirts would catch all the armpit related stains but that is helpful information.
So I fully agree with you, but one area for more artist heavy workflows where git still struggles is ease of use.

The two biggest issues are:
- git lfs doesn't automatically identify large files or binary files. So it's very easy for even experienced engineers to have set up lfs but forgotten to track a file or extension

- git exposes too much of its internals. It's really cumbersome for artists even with UI tools.

That's not to fault git as a technology but I think there's a place for an artist friendly layer on top of git, perhaps a very artist centric UI and set of tools and workflow guides
I also read:

Infected people measured also includes dead people who would have died anyway and just happen to be infected before their death.

And more than 50% of people without symptoms were tested false positive.
Did you use a wrapper or work directly with the solver? If you require runtimes that are that small the compilation time into the proto-model fed into the solver is likely a bottleneck.

Usually the time horizon for solving these kinds of problems is on the scale of minutes/hours so the tool chain isn't optimized for that time span.

Singapore does have a climate where without those trees it would be crazy hot walking. It was ~36C in October when I was there in October.

I don’t understand why this comment is made as frequently as it is. Do you think the authors of the paper aren’t aware of this fact? Do you think they didn’t think of this when they did their research?
Now you're being sensationalist - Those places that stopped their local epidemics were A) the first ones to have the epidemics, and B) took effective action to stop it.

Saying there's "no visible end in sight" is meaningless in this context. If you model the epidemic, as many researchers have, you will see when the end of the epidemic is.
My understanding of how undersea vents work is that they're constantly shifting with any given vent only lasting a few years before drying up while new vents are constantly forming. There are a lot of important ecological concerns around this, for instance if processing at sea surface dumps silt back into the water that could cover animals deep in the sea or interfere with krill eaters. But I'm not sure the destruction of the vents themselves is a huge issue provided we aren't too rapacious.
As a non-native speaker, what's the problem of complimenting the question?

I genuinely only use it if the question is good enough to get me questioning my self.
Since the vast majority of buildings in London do not have AC, the savings are more theoretical than real.

And if the trees weren't there, how many buildings that currently don't have AC would need it?

Not necessarily so theoretical a saving.
The article says: `Welt am Sonntag quoted an unidentified German government source as saying Trump was trying to secure the scientists’ work exclusively, and would do anything to get a vaccine for the United States, “but only for the United States.”`
as well as `Contacted by Reuters, a spokeswoman for the German Health Ministry said: “We confirm the report in the Welt am Sonntag.”`

So the question is: What does `only for the United States` mean exactly?

They do other maintenance work in the other seasons, but during the autumn, they form teams of people who brush leaves into piles, bag them, and then stick them in a garbage truck. I constantly wonder why they can't use a big vacuum cleaner to pick up leaves, but I guess it works out cheaper to do it by hand.

It's true other plants make pollen, but trees form by far the majority of the pollen issue [1]. Different types of tree produce pollen in different months, making a pretty consistent problem. Grasses on the other hand nearly all make pollen the same week. There aren't many other plants in London...

Vinegar Syndrome actually restored and reissued this within the last year. I've always been a fan of his part in it:

"Information is like a bank. Some of us are rich. Some of us are poor with information. All of us can be rich. Our job--YOUR job is to rob the bank. To kill the guard. To go out there, to destroy everybody who keeps and hides the whole of information."
If you go look at the report, the report only references that the US was in talks to fund vaccines, not the "only for the US" part.
Good.

Now that has become fashionable among corporate robots, next can we get them to stop running marathons, climbing mountains etc. I mean my roof needs be repaired and my vegetable patch needs to be weeded and my loo needs to be cleaned. All that burns fat too.

Please tell them we need a TED talk where the CEO tells us how he switched from going to the gym to burn fat to cleaning the office and scrubbing the septic tanks.

Fucking corporate robots and their bullshit.
Surprisingly not! Try it yourself.

It's important to keep in mind that the current state of things is temporary. When the virus blows over, there will be a significant rebound. This situation is V-shaped, it's just unclear how high the right side of the V will be. And in the meantime businesses will have to weather a period of hardship, and some of them will fail to.

But there is nothing fundamentally wrong in the long run. The analogy to a hurricane seemed correct. 2008 was the total collapse of an enormous financial house of cards. Things broke that could not be repaired. The things that are broken at this moment, on the other hand, will repair themselves. They'll just really hurt in the meantime.
We as a society have already solved this in our judicial system via a difference in punishment for murder, manslaughter. Let's strive to do less murder first, and then we can work on the harder problems like accidental animal death via externalities of production. Or we can work on both at the same time!

Can we agree that intentional death is more of a low hanging fruit than accidental death, though?

With one exception, all “prepper” types I know are not wealthy, or even comfortably middle class. They just prioritize their sense of independence and being prepared in an emergency. Whether other disagree with the drivers for that is irrelevant to them. They’re currently patting themselves on the back.

In any event I hope this does encourage more of a prepared mindset in people. I know it has for me. Events like this will only continue to happen and have increasingly far-reaching impacts. I equate it to using a try/catch instead of assuming your program will work flawlessly forever.
