A couple people told me the same thing, and I think it's a valid concern as security process. On the other hand: Slack-channel IR has worked well for clients of ours as a compliance step, and having Slack-channel IR is better than having no IR from a security posture perspective.
That's worthwhile and by design. It's in the interests of American citizens to heavily scrutinize visiting foreigners and those who pass through our borders.

To be fair, it's quite easy to find that wrench used for 5 bucks. Also they'd likely just steal it.
All I can say is that I probably read it in an issue of "Analog". I went through all my saved copies, which are a few years worth from the '80s and '90s then a nearly complete run from around 2000 to 2010 or so. (I then switched to a digital subscription--but I'm sure I read this story on paper so it is before that).

Looking through the short story titles in all those issues, and at the stories themselves whenever the title seemed like one that might be right, turned up nothing. :-(

It's possible that it is even older. I have a vague memory of bringing up that story in a discussion with someone at college, so it could have been something I read in the '70s. Back then I had a subscription to "Galaxy" science fiction magazine, and frequently picked up "Analog", "Asimov's", and "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" at the newsstand, and any one of those could be where I found it.
As discussed below, we cannot make breaking changes to the standard library via the edition system.

I think the bad publicity would be too much for the FIA to accept this time. But they have refused to cancel races at the request of the teams in the past. 7/10 teams wanted to cancel the 2005 US GP, but the FIA refused. Resulting in what was probably the most farcical race in the history of Motorsport (where 14/20 drivers retired after the formation lap).
One thing Japan has going for it is low housing prices. If we end up in a period of long stagnation, the opportunity for lower cost of living could be a good thing for some of the hotter markets like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
I'd think that the social isolation feature has benefits whenever communicable diseases are in the air, which seems to be every winter. The autonomous nature of the system means each CAR can change from road to road to route around congestion and construction, in a way that mass transit can't.

And of course, the time saved by being able to go from point to point rather than through mass transit hubs quickly adds up to many lifetimes. I agree that pollution is something that needs to be addressed, which is why electric and hybrid CARs are being introduced by startups and legacy players in the industry.
Technically that is possible but it is a very involved process (and does not always work), also you would not be able to use Wyze's service anymore...

I'm sure you'll get partisan political comments, but you're correct. I will note that I don't agree with "we" doing anything... our government is rather thoroughly insulated from the will of the citizens of the US by its own design.

The dysfunction in our government is due to years of slow decay that have culminated in the present situation. This crisis will hopefully force enough people to realize the problem exists and its scope that we can finally take steps to correct the issue.

Electing a different party won't help, because we still have the electoral college, voter suppression, unlimited corporate donations, the spoils system, seniority in the legislature, and partisan judges on the supreme court. The Democrats are Corrupt and the GOP is corrupt. The two party system and first past the post have to go. We need to amend the constitution to avoid the situation recurring in the future.

People are about to die because our president is a fool, and the fact that he's still in charge is the fault of all of us who voted or didn't vote over the past half century.

In all honesty, I don't see anything in the government changing for this crisis... they can't change. Lots of people are going to get sick and die, and hopefully in the aftermath people will finally be angry enough to repair our country.

Assuming there are enough of us left.
> increased HVAC usage at home

At least to a thumbnail sketch, back-of-the-napkin calculation, I'd guess not. Most American homes don't have smart thermostats and people just leave their system set to "comfortable" all day long, whether or not the home is occupied.
It's called the aerosol masking effect, and it's terrifying.
What does that have to do with the US's testing capability per capita compared to other countries?

Java actually removes deprecated APIs now, and it's doing it really really quickly (IMHO way too fast).

For example javax.activation, javax.activity, javax.rmi, javax.transaction, javax.xml.bind, javax.xml.ws, javax.jws, and javax.xml were deprecated in Java 9 (released September 2017) and removed in Java 11 (released September 2018). JavaFX was deprecated in Java 10 and removed 6 months later in Java 11.

Dealing with Java 11 was really painful to the point where it really feels like Python 3 of Java. The company I work for had less issues with migrating to Python 3 than with migrating to Java 11, but your mileage may vary.

Yeah, I see this myself right now. My small, little irrelevant startup wouldn't exist if I didn't have the money to try it for a year or so. Obviously, it helps that I never stand the risk of loosing health care coverage, unemployment benefits and social security in doing so. Which is one incredibly important aspect, it reduces the risk considerably.

One of my lecturers once gave an anecdotal reductio ad absurdum argument of why it is difficult to reduce our carbon footprint: people are not willing to walk from

It is a difficult problem to solve for a reason.
I'm still waiting for the ability to right click a SVG and save it as a png at reasonable resolution. I have no idea why this has not been implemented in major browsers.
As long as it suits them. I think the bigger reason is that in many civil cases (not just IP) it ultimately comes down to who is willing to pay more for lawyers and legal fees.
Maybe I'm wrong but state of emergency is usually declared by the states, not the President.
Fair enough. I was just in Phoenix and, even though the transit system doesn't look bad on paper, in practice you quickly see that everything is so spread out that it's at least somewhat hard to get around in a reasonable time.

in theory a sample could yield a DNA extract as well as the RNA needed for the testing. There could be HIPAA , and there is the extra effort and over head required to divert DNA from a sample and process it. I know i wouldnt want to be involved with the sale of such a database. You dont have to worry unless youve done something so wrong that there is someone watching and waiting for the opportunity to find some sort of entry point.

There are many more places that any one persons DNA can be obtained by occulted means.
> Airbnb is going to need a lot of luck with a jury to win this.

As an aside, the fact that these things are decided by juries is nuts to me. Why should the average Joe who needs help installing a printer be compelled to miss work to decide multibillion dollar lawsuits that are deeply technical? I understand the right to a jury if you are accused of murder, but for patent cases it just seems asinine.
I'd be interested in reading more. It seems counter-intuitive -- the emissions that are already in the atmosphere would still be doing any reflection that they are currently doing.

And whatever shielding they're doing, the net effect of every ton of CO2 is in the direction of more warming.
> Yes. But the mission and responsibility was not eliminated. To claim that is irresponsible at best.

> The Snopes piece is devious in that it suggests, as a result of the restructuring, the Trump administration single-handedly gave up the mission and responsibity of responding to infectious disease crises, pandemics and bio-weapon attacks.

If I own a pizza restaurant, one could say that its "mission and responsibility" are to make pizza, but if I fire all my kitchen staff, how am I going to fulfill that mission when someone walks in the door and orders a pizza?

I'm not, is the answer. But that contradiction will only become apparent when somebody walks in the door and orders a pizza, at which time it's too late for me to do anything but send them away empty-handed. That is the point we're at now, except instead of making a pizza we're trying to save our society and economy from the ravages of a global pandemic.

> The reality is that there are layers upon layers of civilian and military procedure and doctrine supporting this mission and responibility.

I don't think anybody's saying otherwise, but it's an open question whether the organizations that embody these layers all have sufficient leadership and funding to respond to actual emergencies. So far, it seems that the answer is generally no—exhibit A would be our profound inability to test at scale. On the other hand, certain local public health systems are certainly stepping up to meet the challenge in proactive and effective ways.

I wouldn't lay 100% of the blame on the Trump administration, but they've taken actions (e.g. the subject of this thread) that have undeniably damaged our ability to respond to crises of this sort, and their messaging at the highest level has been absolutely awful, totally disconnected with reality. But (unlike climate change) this is a case where reality is going to come knocking really soon, and in the final accounting we will see just how well or poorly the whole thing was managed.

And you know what? I really do hope all the "hysteria" is a leftist conspiracy, or whatever. That would be great. I am rooting for Trump, Pence, and all the other goblins in his orbit to do a great job handling it. I really don't like Trump, but if he knocks this out of the park I'd even consider voting for him in the fall over whoever ends up bubbling up to the top of the Dem field, given the choices we seem to have before us at the moment.

Somehow, though, I don't really see that happening.
I don't believe we'll ever succeed in dealing with climate change. It's going to kill us all and the people in power will refuse to accept responsibility the whole while.

Happy to be proven wrong!
The Plummet Protection Team has been working every day buying huge numbers of call options on stocks in order to signal a turnaround. It has failed every day and they have now spent hundreds of billions.

If you understand which calls they are making and at what times they make them, then you can buy the corresponding put and make a lot of money. That he increased his investment by a factor of 9 in a week or so shows how much money we are talking about.

If the fed stops doing these daily calls though you can get holding the bag. Also in the event of a total collapse you can end up never being able to redeem your gains.

Elite traders know this game and are happily taking the billions that the fed is shoveling to them.

For the public, we'll see the elite doing well and able to afford the inflated cost of goods that results from pursuing this policy over an extended time period when it has repeatedly been shown to be a failing strategy since there are actual fundamental problems with the market right now, such as supply chain issues, likely loss of large numbers of staff, and upcoming mass unemployment and a global Depression.

My understanding is iPhones enable full disk encryption when a pass-code is created, even if it's fairly weak (1112), you can't have a passcode or password and not have full disk encryption. Android Devices past 9 do not support full disk encryption and instead use file based encryption, and as far as I know just having a password doesn't necessarily mean FBE is turned on.

> I hate to be the bearer of bad hot takes, but the burdens falling disproportionately on the poor is not a reason to avoid catastrophic global collapse.

It is if there will be civil unrest, leading to the election of reactionary populist governments which roll back emission cuts.

Approaches to the problem that enrage a large portion of the citizenry are counterproductive. They won't work in a democracy, and most of the large polluters are democracies.

The French people are generally considered to be pretty left-wing (at least by outsiders) but they took to the streets as soon as the government raised fuel prices. Imagine how well that kind of policy would go down in Texas.

Poverty is therefore directly related to the question of solving climate change.
> like Merkel's obscene, wildly irresponsible statement about how up to 70% of Germans could get Covid

I've seen numbers in that range from multiple official places from people who are experts in the field. She didn't just pull that number out of the air. And I don't think it is obscene or irresponsible to share - it is a realistic and sobering reminder of the severity of the situation.

> in reality it'll be a tiny fraction of that

Yeah, I don't think I'll give much weight to someone who makes categorical sounding statements without giving any backing evidence...
So make it more complex and have it "fire if human is not in touch" then. Have it give some level of notification that there is a problem needing human attention and that if possible, they should get in touch with you. You could give out keys to a secret (see: Shamirs Secret Sharing) so that if a few people got together then they could find out more but don't tell them who the others are (if they are likely to be at your memorial they will find each other). Give out secrets in sequence so that the longer it goes on, the more people get involved - tell the later ones who the earlier ones are. I guess it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing on the first day the software misses you?
People don't have to die, they just have to stop traveling so frivolously. Some people on this post seem to think that people will realize how much they were traveling, and that on the lockdown they didn't travel and didn't need to.

My feeling is that people will feel caged and as soon as they think it's safe, they'll start traveling again and there'll be a giant surge of travel for a couple months, and then it'll basically return to the way it was.
What about "JCL" ? Those ABENDs don't just show up on their own.
I wouldn't put too much gloss on that. I was on AOL from its original GeoWorks-based release forward, and it always had considerably more mass appeal than icb/forumnet, IRC, Usenet, or any of the other Internet-based forums/chatrooms of the time. It was night-and-day.

You have to remember before there was AOL there was Prodigy, Quantum Link/PC-Link (which became AOL), CompuServe, GEnie, etc--all services that were mass-marketed to some extent and had healthy user bases that were mostly not very technical or academic. Modems were easy to use and ubiquitous at that point so if you had a computer at home, there was a decent chance you had one.

A lot of the early AOL folks consolidated from those services and the social BBS scenes, which were also not nearly as techie as you'd imagine.

So yeah, there were a lot less of us than when they started shipping out discs with hundreds of hours and later unlimited, but the audience wasn't necessarily more sophisticated. As soon as it was a standalone app and not GeoWorks-based, in particular, it seriously took off.

People put in solitary confinement simply should NOT be put in solitary confinement. Period.

Agreed, and also I hope to be proven wrong. People don't want to change, by nature. Humans are terribly flawed. The last two people alive on earth will be pointing fingers at each other moments before they perish.

It's a product type[0], containing a single inner type of `u32`. Sometimes classes look like product types.

The difference with this approach is that any function can take obj as an argument. If it's pass by reference, any function can mutate obj. If obj winds up in an inconsistent state, any function in the entire codebase could have done it.

With a class, however, you normally make the data members private; that is, only the member functions of the class can change them. If the data gets mangled, you now have a very small set of places to look. That difference matters when debug time comes around.

EDIT: also a biochemist in a previous life.

If viruses are on the edge of alive, then books and posters might be too, in some sense.

Virus's are "life" without replication machinery. And what is a book but a similar sort of dormant form, without the fertile replication machinery of the [human] mind to remix it and help its ideas fuck with other ideas. This view of viruses and words as life perhaps isn't as wrong as it first sounds, and some linguists on the fringes argue that language is more like a semiotic symbiont that has "moved into" our biology, specifically our neural structures, like a creature moving into an ecological niche and modifying it to suit its purposes. Or as I prefer to think about it: maybe we're already cyborgs straddling structures of biology and semiotics. (See: The Leiden School of Language[1]).

Maybe humans are just the first example of this language portion of our organism starting to venture cautiously outside of our biology, like astronauts exploring outside spaceship corpus ;) Reality might be pretty weird imho, and hard to see for what it truly is.

> The System is not a private organization and does not operate for the purpose of making a profit.

> Specifically, "the fed is a private bank" is a common refrain among goldbugs and currency conspiracy theorists, and it's not true, no matter how often it's repeated.

I'd recommend reading The Creature from Jekyll Island. Once you understand the origins of the Fed you will understand that it's an institution founded by public and private individuals and entities to drive profit and leverage the system and taxpayers where it can. It's a creature with public/private/independent parts. It requires no conspiracy because much is known about it, although most people are unaware. JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Citibank, the government and others founded it together!

"At the end of November 1910, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department A. Piatt Andrew, and five of the country's leading financiers (Frank Vanderlip, Henry P. Davison, Benjamin Strong, and Paul Warburg) arrived at the Jekyll Island Club to conduct a secret meeting to plan the country's monetary policy and banking system, formulating during the meeting the Federal Reserve as America's next central bank.[14] [15] According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting resulted in draft legislation for the creation of a U.S. central bank. Parts of this draft (the Aldrich plan) were incorporated into the 1913 Federal Reserve Act." [1]
