IDK, Magic Arena is quite popular, and I know a lot of people who got into it somewhat recently, so it's still a good game. Mana screw/flood is annoying, but it infrequent enough that it's not super frustrating.

I quit because I just don't have the time to keep up with the pace of expansions, and if you don't have top tier cards, you'll probably lose. I like the gameplay, but not the collection aspect, especially since the trading aspect is dead online.
You seem to be saying that fighting coronavirus has the side effect of reducing traffic deaths, but then you put "traffic lives" against "contagious virus lives". It doesn't make sense to speak of tradeoffs when you just said the same measures deal with both. Where is the conflict that your rhetorical framework relies on?
My kids district is doing well all things considering. I look forward to things settling in and becoming more consistent. For the most part it is google classroom assignments. No lessons or zoom sessions. No one on ones with teachers to connect with each kid to check in. Several emails a day from various teachers with directions that sometimes are for me, sometimes for my kid and sometimes for both. It’s a lot to process, especially working full time with more than one kid. We’re getting by though and overall it’s pretty amazing how technology is pretty miraculous in giving us all opportunities from home. Hopefully some of the tricks the teachers and schools learn during this time will yield creative New teaching practices.

Source on "the government said they are gonna confiscate them"?
That conception of attention as harm has been circulating as a meme since Zine days and it frankly isn't very sane as focus, much less if the obvioud corralaries are considered outside if justifying what they want in a context.

Dressing to show off would count as harm. Just looking unusual would also qualify and justify all sorts of bullying and maltreatment because it "robs attention".

Onviously they would plead that it is different but accepting their framework it is still "robbing attention".

It brings to mind the farce of Marxist Exploitation where buying wheat for a dollar and milling your flour is fine but buying $20 of flour, milling it and selling it for $40 is suddenly robbing the farmer.

> It seems a lot of people go through it barely having any symptoms.

That's also what makes it so dangerous. During the early outbreaks people were constantly joking about how people with COVID-19 felt up to taking intercontinental flights, going to megachurch services, going to the gym, visiting Disneyland....

Compare to Ebola, which is pretty awful, but if you get sick with Ebola you're not going to transmit it very much because you're going to feel absolutely miserable and there's a really good chance you'll die soon. Which sucks and I'm grateful that the world managed to stop the various Ebola outbreaks we've seen, but if you want a real pandemic, you want something with a nice long incubation period that presents asymptomatically to enough people that it can really spread around a lot. And that's what we have here.
I agree.

> The second workaround—disabling the WebClient service—blocks the vector attackers would most likely use to wage remote exploits. Even with this measure in place, it’s still possible for remote attackers to run programs located on the targeted user’s computer or local network. Still, the workaround will cause users to be prompted for confirmation before opening arbitrary programs from the Internet.

... why doesn't WebClient also prompt users before opening programs via things from the internet then?

It basically makes anything that calls an internet service in authenticated apps, like Windows Explorer's image preview pane, a vector for loading arbitrary programs without warning.

Am I missing something here? Some way this would be really annoying or pointless?

I know Android never bit the bullet with making any internet access require a privacy confirmation, which I'm guessing might be overwhelming to the average user. But I still think it should be an option, like an opt-in Little Snitch for network access that includes embedded webkits.

You missed the point.

The most serious cases of COVID-19 affect all the people who have the underlying conditions that have precautions listed using H-Chloroquine.

That makes the normal ICU case of COVID-19 more difficult (time consuming) to manage because now you have to spend time managing / monitoring: The condition, COVID-19, the side effects of H-Chloroquine on vital body systems already impaired, already being attacked by COVID.

Throw the magnitude two out the window like a lucky car crash victim while these patients suffer the crash in the hospital. Not even Bernie was going to pay for the specialty concierge care needed to manage such a patient and yet you some how assume that is how it works.
So, what are the probable and worst case scenarios? Right now, it's hard to cut through the hyperbole.
Loss of sense of smell isn't uncommon for cold or flue. Oddly it may depend on what you've got in a way I can't explain. I remember utterly losing smell, then starting to recover it in a pub just before closing time when one of the bar staff was splashing brasso (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasso) around to clean the taps. I literally could no smell a thing beforehand. Yet I've had cold/flus where that didn't happen. It would be interesting to know why one coronavir does and another doesn't.

FYI loss of smell is known to be an early symptoms of parkinsons IIRC.
Funny, that's exactly why I don't play Hearthstone. I'm getting tired if games based more on owning top tier cards and following deck lists than actual strategy.

Not to support a dataless claim...but...isn't the fact that ~90% of tests come back negative (and tests are hard to get) indicative of their point that the vast majority of people who think they have the disease, do not? AFAIK the testing is not random at this time.

Not at all. You still need to renew your PR status over time. It's only permanent in the sense that if you are free to live in the country without needing to be sponsored by someone (company or individual). It's still a visa at the end of the day.

If you're on an EP / WP which is then cancelled you have 30 days to get a new visa or leave the country.

Coronavirus: Trump wants US open for business amid pandemic
With univ, it makes sense to raise an error because its first argument becomes the predicate symbol of an atom and you can't have an atom with a free variable as a predicate symbol in a first order language (because it wouldn't be a first-order variable anymore).

What I mean is, if:

A =.. [P,X,Y]

Did not raise an error, it would produce an atom:

A = P(X,Y)

Which is not a first order atom. So that would violate core assumptions of the language and the syntax of first-order logic to boot.

(I use "atom" in the non-Prolog sense, to mean a predicate symbol followed by terms in parentheses).

Edit: that said, Win-LPA Prolog allows P(X,Y), but that is a quirk of the interpreter and not standard at all.
Incredibly powerful writing. You might give Wilfred Owen props for writing it.

> Ada is pretty much still the only language that has this.

Common Lisp does too:

(deftype quantity () '(integer 0 240))
(defun foo (x)
(declare (type quantity x))
(1+ x))
(foo 1) → 2
(foo -1) → ERROR
(defun valid-username-p (string)
(and (< 8 (length string) 24)
(every (lambda (char)
(find char "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-_=./" :test #'char=))
string)))
(typep "foo" 'username) → NIL
(typep "foobarbaz" 'username) → T
(typep "foobar-baz" 'username) → T
(typep "foobar-baz " 'username) → NIL

Common Lisp is pretty awesome.

> Another point of evidence that the author probably omitted out of politeness are the nations that freely violated rules of war yet did not make (much) use of chemical weapons: the nazis on the eastern front and wwii japan.

Why single out germany and japan? Are you really pretending the US, Britain, Soviet Union, etc didn't freely violate the "rules of war" also?
Also, the nazis aren't a nation.

Edit: I guess some here think nuking hiroshima/nagasaki, firebombing and burning millions of civilians to death, mass rape of women, etc are within the "rules of war". Interesting.
Keep an eye on the deaths not the cases (since cases depend on access to testing), and bear in mind they lag about 1-2 weeks.

In 2 weeks we'll know the true extent of how much the virus has spread today. We're behind always.
There is not a single one showing this not to be true, trump has:

* Instructed the FDA to perform a clinical trial

* Said the FDA has approved it for treatment of Coronavirus in “compassionate use” circumstances

* Said he thinks it will be effective

* Said he can’t be sure how it will turn out

All of his quotes on the topic can be put into one of those categories. The first two are simply statements of fact, the second two are statements of opinion (and presented as such), opinions that are shared by many doctors and medical officials (including the ones who initially suggested and popularized this idea).

Trump has made absolutely no statements at all saying:

* This will certainly work out

* It’s a good idea to self medicate

So, if there’s so many quotes proving you to be correct, I’m sure you could provide one. Instead of just making an unfounded and unsubstantiated claim that you’re correct.
“ Tesla executive Elon Musk, meanwhile, made good on a promise to provide ventilators, Newsom said, and has delivered 1,000 ventilators to Los Angeles.”
Which is enough for 14 days for ~50,000 people at 1/day. It seems like huge overkill when stated as a single number, but two weeks is a reasonable amount to plan for, especially for reserves at a time when the supply chain is stressed.

I wish our hospitals' administration had as much foresight. I think this crisis is making it clear that management in health care is vastly overpaid.
No. Minefield can persist dangerous for decades. Nerve gas dissipates is days/weeks. Nerve agents might clear the ground tactically, but they don't hold it.
I'm saying better because the consumer now knows of more alternatives. They have to obviously make their own choice on the matter.
Even in economic terms, the cost of say 5 hospitalizations from infections down the road is much, much greater than the utility these people enjoy from a house party.

Obviously, the value of a life is greater still.

I’m arguing in your terms but I don’t think economics is exactly the right framework for this decision.
I remember reading this before, but don't recall the author... Who was it?

Regarding the article: it seems to miss the obvious points, and sounds almost sociopathic in its use of literary lyricism to suggest that chemical weapons should be regarded as a viable weapon, if only it weren't for the military weaknesses it produces.

> the narrative I got was fairly clear: we didn’t use chemical weapons because after World War I the nations of the world got together and decided that chemical weapons were just too horrible and banned them, and that this was a sign of something called ‘progress.’

The use of chemical weapons, as parent's comment writes, is indiscriminate in who and what it affects, whether it be enemy or own soldiers, or innocents: women, children, animals and even fauna. To have your skin melt, or your lungs liquified because some monster on the other side cooked up a recipe shows how inhumane and lacking in compassion people can be.

I recall being told why modern military don't use high calibre rifles anymore (303 or 762): because a lower calibre tends to wound the enemy, which means that 2 or more enemy soldiers are needed to help their comrade out... Hence 1 smaller & lighter bullet can take out 2 or more of the enemy. That is, modern warfare is about incapacitating an enemy's ability to fight back. This is why sanctions, targetting infrastructure, stealth attack, etc, is what you see on the news all the time.
Can’t upvote enough! It’s also my main beef with many chromebooks - decent specs and just unacceptable screens for productivity.

Even though Linux may not scale resolution as good as a Mac or Windows yet, being able to fit more text on the screen is huge for productivity.

When you factor in new gaming options like Stadia or Nvidia Now, where you can game high end stuff without the high end hardware locally, FHD is just disappointing.
This is an excellent and well written essay that answers its own question.

But I will offer my own answer. Grooups generally don't use chemical weapons because such use is too obvious too unsettling to viewers/supporters. They want the outcome, whatever it may be, but they don't want to look like they are greedy or insensitive or anti(or counter)-religious [generally speaking, they don't want to appear overtly confrontational].

Things must be done just slightly less aggressively than will upset the general population/supporters who fund the endeavors.

In Earth-time, this discussion is mostly academic. The horrors which we inflict upon each other is far less than the likely destruction we invite upon ourselves as a species through our collective behaviors (environmentally speaking). The human existence on this planet is probably (in the mathematical sense) very short.

I suspect the real concern is that we or someone we know may suffer some extended period of pain because of chemical or other non-instant-death conflict. People think they are afraid of dying, but usually it is more that they are afraid of a slow death which includes pain and anguish.
Are you or are you not intimating that people should take fucking garlic supplements for COVID?

You have claimed
1) there is plausible evidence for garlic (no)
2) garlic is a widely used medicine (no)

On the basis of those claims it is quite easy to see how you are suggesting people take garlic. Classic motte-and-bailey argument strategy.

Well there's the field of "statistics".

That just means you can't use such a laptop under near peak load while the battery is empty or absent.
He addressed that in the article really well. He argues modern, well trained, armies that constantly move with devolved command structures can't effectively use chemical weapons, and on top of that if fighting against a comparable opponent chemical weapon protection is cheap. Even when under existential threat those type of armies haven't used them.

Temporarily denying an area doesn't work with a mobile army, you might deny yourself an opening or you might not even know where your units are.

But poorly trained armies, with no independent command because of the coup potential can kind of use them as they get into 'static' fights, and have done, i.e. Iraq and Syria.

It really is an excellent article, though long, I would recommend reading it.

And it really drives the point home that the idea we got civilized and banned them is a fuzzy PR lie we tell ourselves.

Aye, we're special. Nothing else in the entire universe has such a big idea of itself.

“Nth Room”: Digital Sexual Exploitation of Underage Girls in S. Korea
You must have a really big contract with AWS to have such a great experience with AWS support, or are still at the level of manually requesting limit increase tickets, or something.

It seems like half the time AWS's tier-1 support sends the me a link to the documentation that I linked to in my ticket, the other half the time I spend hours, sometimes days of engineering time to get the logs they asked for, only for them to come back with "I talked with the product team and oh yeah that's a known issue". If I'm really lucky, I don't have to prove to them it's their fault that something's broken before they admit that there's a problem.

Frustratingly, it's all covered under NDA, which is where things really get ugly, because you can't even really talk about it. I'm sure support is awesome if you're Netflix spending however many millions of dollars a month. Maybe at that level there's a secret site that straight up says product X has limitations Y and Z, but after having to prove to AWS that the problem is on their end, multiple times, their enterprise support is worthless. It's a good lever to push on in a contact though.

I've never used GCP support so can't say anything about it.

" is how accounting works,"

There is no one accounting standard that is the ultimate reality. Accounting is a means of representing reality for a particular purpose like any other model. And it can only change and attempt to improve with the understanding that an outside reality exists.

And "mark to market" is a thing that exists, and is sometimes required, anyway.

So I think you're completely wrong in a deep sense, but also in a shallow technical sense.
