There isn't a ton of evidence that they weren't just naive with the Iraqi scandal. Also, they seem to have changed a lot for the better as explained by the last section of the article.

They seem to be handling what have clearly been a great number of serious consequences due to previous mistakes, and sure, maybe initial greediness, with great integrity now.

I quoted some of the article that points this out lower in the comments as well.
Wireless mesh networks are all fun and games until you try to scale up.

First you have to deal with the huge coordination issue of getting everybody in line and on line to actually form a mesh.

Then if you actually succeed with that you have to deal with physics, maintenance and upgrades.

Most, if not all networks that start as meshes, devolve into centralized networks.

Then all you have is another ISP.

The root cause to why wireless mesh networks don’t exist in any meaningful way is that traditional ISP networks are more cost effective.
Yeah, but it's weird for devices in different clock domains of the time to share a classic parallel system bus. They "can" theoretically, but practically they didn't because of the latency that cross domain clocking imposed.

Since the best the democrats have to offer is a washed up 78 year old, Trump will probably win by a wide margin. It's like 2016. The opposition isn't even showing up.
What exactly is the problem with turning toward corporate America to help solve this problem?

Isn't that the ultimate stimulus?

Is the potential of returned manufacturing jobs not a hugely good thing?

Or are we not allowed to give credit for anything because Trump?
Delaying the response by a month is going to look terrible when the dust settles. That there have not been harsh partisan articles loudly airing this dirty laundry is, I think, more a function of the media having more substantive things to focus at this time.

Sure, everything is relative and up for debate in our post-truth environment. But Republicans that reluctantly voted for him were already weary of his warmongering around Christmas. And many of those that did listen to his ignorant bullshit for the past month are likely to end up knowing someone who dies from this.

> With bandwidth there is almost no additional cost to deliver more bandwidth

Depends how awful your infrastructure is. The big ISP in Ireland was still using microwave links as backhaul for ADSL until at least 2012 or so (in one particularly ridiculous case, a whole village only had 8Mbit/sec backhaul), and I believe there are still some developed countries where that kind of setup is common.

Interestingly, back in the mid noughties, said ISP either gave ADSL customers a 20GB cap or no cap, depending on if their local exchange had a fibre backhaul. To confuse the issue, they referred to the latter as "fibre powered broadband".
AutoCAD over local NFS chokes, I can't imagine trying to run it over VDI.

Some things are just IO and processor intensive, and for those, having the data be local is a much more efficient process overall.

Thank you for the feedback. I agree with you - we are working on it (and just hired a designer, among other things). We need to do much more to make it so every developer is using code search 20x/day.
It depends on your age and general health condition.

If you are not a boomer and healthy, you don't actually need to do anything except maybe get that hour earlier to bed in the evening and eat extra healthy to help your immune system.

This virus really only concerns particular "risk groups" which is why I DON'T understand why the onus is on younger, healthy people who are actually working to pay the price instead of telling at-risk groups who are mostly pensioners to isolate themselves until a vaccine or antidote is developed. Also, not to forget, those boomers are the ones who contributed 90 percent of the climate change with their consumption patterns and then told us "why would I care about climate change, I will be dead when it arrives."

What the hell?
The title refers to it as a "craze." I don't think using the synonym "fad" adds anything. The question is "why this fad, now, rather than a different fad, now?"
Historically beginning of socialism looks totally differently.
I think you're thinking of the Creation Museum, in Kentucky. That's a whole different travesty.

The Museum of the Bible is located in Washington, DC, not far from the Smithsonian. On the surface it's a much less flashy and overtly religious institution. It presents the Bible as a piece of world history in an archeological context, supported by scholarship. It doesn't muck about with creationism. It's rather respectable.

Underneath that are more subtle problems. It's funded by the same religious zealots who would not allow their employees' health care to cover birth control (and took it to the Supreme Court, where they won). There's a subtle underlying tone pushing American-style evangelical Protestantism -- one that could easily be overlooked, except that incidents like this one imply that there's an element of religious imperialism going on as well.

So they are funding and supporting genuine scholarship, and are not at all obvious wackadoodles like the Creation Museum. But nonetheless scholarship may take a back seat to a religious agenda, one that has been a rather pernicious force in the US -- including leading to things like the Creation Museum.
Get 30-60 days of food and any prescription drugs you require, and get home and stay there: no in-and-outs, including children. Don't have visitors, don't go anywhere not absolutely necessary for survival. Keep yourself and your family healthy.

Tell your friends to do the same.

Note: 60 days of food is probably much larger than any grocery trip you have ever done. Don't just go to the store and get a week's worth of food, like many are doing. In a week, grocery shopping will be impossible/dangerous. Two weeks, moreso. The doubling time on this thing is about a week and it's going to get worse for six weeks before it gets better.

Also, avoid doing any activities that might cause any sort of accident requiring hospitalization. Hospitals are going to be hard no-go zones starting in about two weeks, for 6-8 weeks. Use the railing, be careful getting in and out of the shower, clean up spills, don't use power tools, et c.

If you're having trouble getting groceries locally, Amazon still (for the moment! don't expect it to last) has 12-ct cases of Soylent in stock for about $40 in a lot of places for same or next-day delivery. (Figure 5 400kcal bottles per person-day for emergency rations if you can't get any local groceries. Even if you don't like it, it will keep you and your family alive while you can't go to the supermarket for a few weeks.) TIP YOUR DELIVERY DRIVER. When it arrives, pull the bottles out wearing gloves, and dispose of the boxes carefully, and WASH YOUR HANDS.

EDIT: Reply to SketchySeaBeast below (I am throttled and cannot post new replies):

Going to the grocery store is unnecessary contact/exposure that you can avoid by stocking up for the duration in advance. Grocery stores are chokepoints. It's better to shop once now than four times over the next 2 months.

Shelf-stable food that you will eat anyway is not a huge cost, and limiting your exposure is valuable as this thing ramps up. Every passing week for the foreseeable future doubles the risk that you will encounter someone who has the virus, as it seems pretty plausible (due to the testing strategy) that the US, at least based on current information, will be doing very little that will be effective to stop the spread.

It's probably just going to run its course unimpeded through society in the US, as it did in Italy prior to the lockdown. Would you want to be going to the grocery store in Italy right now? I don't want to be going to the grocery store in the US in 2-3 weeks.

Remember: when China had as many cases as we do now, a 60M province was already in total lockdown.

Nothing, but I didn't tune into the President announcing a National Emergency to have him call up the CEO's of these companies, SHAKE ALL THEIR HANDS and let them speak like an infomercial. I was hoping there would be talk about how they would be protecting the vulnerable and what people should be doing.

Please connect the dots here; what you've written is nonsensical without further explanation. The technical argument in TFA is pretty simple: if this traffic level is feasible now, it will also be feasible in a couple of months. If instead you're making a point about how horrible FCC is, then be more explicit about it.
FWIW, I chose to learn Rust specifically because of the metaprogramming afforded by procedural macros. The code I write leans heavily on (de)serialization, frequent error handling, declarative programming, and other automation. I can hardly imagine how verbose my code would be without procedural macros.

One of the first things I wrote was a procedural macro. Yeah, I like to learn things the hard way, but I'm glad I did! Once I got past the confusing split between proc_macro::TokenStream and proc_macro2::TokenStream, I found that using "syn" and "quote!" is really quite enjoyable.
The moment you have sociopathic boss, you are still locked in that workplace. In fact, normal people willing to take maximum advantage of student are at advantage due to inability to negotiate or leave - whether through hours worked or the kind of work you do. These people would be great for tasks that need to be done, teach a little and professionals don't want to do them due to them being dead end.

As of now, your ultimate possibility is to leave and bad workplaces have large turnover. Good workplaces have small turnover.
He's gonna win. A viral outbreak like this has no precedent for anyone still alive. So it's hard to criticize the government based on personal experience. If they demonstrate leadership and decisive action that should be enough for a reelection. Any candidate simply cannot compete with the media exposure the president gets during times of a national crisis.
I think this rather applies to API clients which can handle that differently. A quick test for python's shows that all headers are redirect regardless:

requests.request("GET", "http://localhost/redirect-to?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhttpbin.org%2Fget", headers={"x-foo": "bar", "Cookies": "abc=dcv;"}).json()

{
"args": {},
"headers": {
"Accept": "*/*",
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
"Cookies": "abc=dcv;",
"Host": "httpbin.org",
"User-Agent": "python-requests/2.22.0",
"X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-5e6bebe1-cd6e71729a818015a06aa7cb",
"X-Foo": "bar"
},
"origin": "91.58.8.128",
"url": "http://httpbin.org/get"
}

I'm running a local copy of httpbin on localhost, so python's request should not send sensitive headers for redirects but it does. Golang is a bit more explicit about it's http client behavior:

> • when forwarding sensitive headers like "Authorization", "WWW-Authenticate", and "Cookie" to untrusted targets. These headers will be ignored when following a redirect to a domain that is not a subdomain match or exact match of the initial domain. For example, a redirect from "foo.com" to either "foo.com" or "sub.foo.com" will forward the sensitive headers, but a redirect to "bar.com" will not.

https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Client

Though this might also cause problems if you are using sensitive non standard headers such as X-Token for token authentication, etc.

So while you could probably mitigate this vulnerability on some clients, you are trusting the server to only redirect you to trusted URLs which is not the case here.

> If scholarship was at the top of their agenda... they wouldn't be a Bible Museum.

Yes, because the Bible has never had an impact on the arc of humanity.

I get it. It's easy and fun to dunk on certain sects of Christians for their demonstrably false beliefs. However, this isn't the Creation Museum. While I haven't been to The Museum of the Bible or The Creation Museum, I have found absolutely nothing that supports that The Museum of the Bible pushes creationism (https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/11/17/16658504/bible-mus...). This museum's focus is on the history of the Bible, widely known as the most printed book of all time. The Bible upon whose basis 100s of millions or even billions of people order their systems of moral belief. To suggest that there can be no real scholarship about the Bible is to shove your head in the sand and pretend Christianity has had no impact on society.
By "customhttp" I meant my hand-rolled (subset of)http-server. It
doesn't support chunked encoding because I also control the client-code
but it does support "connection keep-alive" for better performance.

I haven't testet it yet but I'm pretty sure its vulnerable: my server
just looks for content-length and if it doesn't find it, it returns an
error. So if nginx sends content-length but then continues to send
chunked content it should be possible that the next request won't come
from nginx but from an attacker (probably not really a problem at the
time but nevertheless not the expected behaviour).

My failure was to always expect "valid" HTTP-input from nginx whereas
"valid" means my limited knowledge of HTTP.

But the question remains: Is there a reason why nginx should send both
headers to the backend?
> AutoCAD over local NFS chokes, I can't imagine trying to run it over VDI.

VDI lets the “desktop” actually running the software potentially be more local to the storage than local NFS, even though both are more distant from the end-user, so I don't see the problem.

You then give encouragement to employers to hire non-union workers or exclude union workers if they don't have to have the same rights/wages. It seems a bit of an own goal for a union to give more incentives for employers to fight them
Put a reinforcement learning network on the task to recreate signals from a radar with a ham radio and see if it can learn it. That would be pretty sweet.
What? Socialization would see the government forcibly taking control of these corporations. This is nothing like socialism.

This is legitimately the kind of stimulus that the economy has needed for decades. A true cause for the American powerhouse to rally behind, if there's anything left of it. Yeah the administration has been less than ideal in handling this but you people need to give credit where it is due.

This will be a true test of the viability of the declining American Empire.

At the current exponential rate of worldwide growth, by the end of June, we will be in one of these two scenarios:

1) Almost everyone in the world who is susceptible has it, or had it.

2) We implemented a way to slow down the global growth rate, or it slowed down by itself.

One way or another, we will know in a just a few months.

If you want to check the math, skip to about 3:20 on this video from 3Blue1Brown, Exponential growth and epidemics.

Mostly just the irony of using Socialism as a scapegoat repeatedly and then nationalizing some of the virus effort.

Of course, he'll never say it was socialism - just "strong action".
"Stay in a bad employment situation" and "leave a bad employment situation" aren't the only options; workers can also collectively work to make the bad situation better. There can be a lot of good reason to do that, and I think we should be glad that people are working to make things better where they are.
The advantage of the open source here is so you can configure the endpoints exactly as you wish. Not vendor independence etc.
The economy is the method by which humans live a life other than that of animals.

Moving multi-colored pieces of paper is a small part of that process, but it is highly visible because it is near the top of the stack.
So during decoherence you don’t have classical worlds - the probabilities interfere so you can’t ignore the other terms. Over time that interference reduces, but as you say never disappears completely.

But at no point does one world even approximately emerge - it’s always many. I can say only the one I experience is real, but there’s no justification for it.

Your main problem though is thinking classically - you can't justify your theory by saying it can be reduced (after an infinite amount of time) to an old way of thinking. Classical probability is fraught with issues; just saying it’s always been acceptable isn’t true nor a rational argument.
They’d already been very[1] publicly[2] caught out on housing likely forgeries. That Nova documentary says (I believe verbatim) that some of the fragments they bought were “too good to be true”, one particular example I recall was a few lines that are often quoted together but quite far apart with significant context in between, that somehow ended up on the same fragment. Overall the documentary makes a compelling case that the forgers started small but evolved into targeting groups who were unreasonably gullible. Given the Museum of the Bible’s history of being unscrupulous historians I think they have it coming rather than being victims.

How much are you willing to pay for such batteries?
For larger electronics that take double A batteries, this exists, but at a premium! These things are lithium-whatever and USB rechargable, but at $5 per, easy to dismiss. While dismissing them, consider where the "those don't count" retort is coming from. It's fair to point out that electronics have gotten small enough to the point that they don't fit AA batteries any more, but these batteries haven't taken over in situations where they are available, so even if they came in AAAA (quadruple-A size - like what's inside of a 9-volt) size that were usable in smaller electronics, I doubt the market would decide they are better.

Worse is better, and in this case, the iPhone, and everyone copying its permanently installed battery, is worse.

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm interested to see how kratom fits into the longer-term solution. An issue right now is that its formulation is not standard, so there are different brands with different concentrations, which makes it difficult to "prescribe" as medicne. Another problem is that it's sold at smoke shops along with vape pens and paraphernalia, so people who aren't already using opioids are trying it out of curiosity and becoming accidentally dependent.

While the museum - or just its main sponsors - have acted badly in other cases, this does not seem to be so here. On the other hand, an entity that conducts shady business is an attractive target for a con artist, who may be able to exploit its willingness to look the other way in duping it.
I never said it was self-funded, just that what you take out is a function of how much you pay in + when you begin withdrawing. The proposal here is a major shift in how it works.
While WWII gave economic advantage to united states, places where it happened were destroyed and in loss. Wars are economic advantage also if you get to get colony you can exploit - but colony looses a lot.

Syria gained no growth. Places that got destabilized by war and became great playground for local warlords got no growth.

Wars are pretty much catastrophy for most involved.
Look, either socialism includes Bernie Sander's Democratic Socialism or it doesn't - it can't be both A&B and A&!B at the same time.

If you think Bernie Sanders is a socialist then this is socialism, if you think this is good then you like Sanders' level of socialism.

I was working on the Jindalee OTHR at the time. We used to sit in the control room listening in on the Woodpecker. We also had quite a bit more power then the HAMs (beamformed) so they didn't ignore us.

(Jindalee also stayed clear of the HAM bands. The radar had frequency exclusion tables built into it and there was a switch which allowed the tables to be overridden if necessary. A number of techs were HAMs and made sure the HAM bands were respected.)
> it finally looks like the federal government is going to act competently

Testing only those with symptoms (the virus has a 4-6 day contagious incubation period) will do little to nothing to stop the spread. There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people walking around asymptomatic and contagious right now, in pretty much every state in the country (as well as pretty much every country in the world). In a week it will be 2x that number. In two weeks it will be 4x that number.

Imagine if you needed AIDS symptoms to get an HIV test.
Depending on your build environment, a well cooled, high core count and fast CPU (so i9/3800x or higher), plenty of fast RAM (32GB @ 3600MHz) and NVME drives will shorten your write/build/debug cycles immensely.

Building a machine is easier than ever. For the price of a macbook pro you can make a beefy machine, and it will run a lot faster.

In terms of peripherals, I recently got a 4k sony monitor on sale for around $300 and while you're not going to edit video on it, the extra real estate is much appreciated.
Correct... the article does not explicitly mention the 20-second recommendation, which was presumably arrived at by experimentation. But it does explain why such a time-based recommendation might work:

> The skin is quite rough and wrinkly which is why you do need a fair amount of rubbing and soaking to ensure the soap reaches very crook and nanny on the skin surface that could be hiding active viruses.
