I'm working on a bulletin board for people to post and manage speed running bounties. Right now speed runners and fans post and publicise bounties, to explore bugs or beat times, ad-hoc on a variety of platforms. Hopefully people will find a central place to store and talk about these bounties useful. Its still in the prototyping stage but hope to roll it out during my current 2 week self-isolation!
Huh. Italian family. So I suppose that they might carry susceptibility genes. It's my impression that Italians are extremely diverse genetically, but I guess that there could be ~isolated subpopulations.

I wonder whether anyone's looked for that in the data from Italy.

You're both correct but talking about different situations.

The original post is saying that some people may discover they've contributed too much to their IRA after doing the tax calculations (say, if they just contribute the max $6k now).

If this happens, you're subject to a 6% penalty unless you withdraw the excess along with "net attributable" earnings. These earnings are subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty in addition to the normal income tax, and are calculated as a prorated portion of the entire IRA growth.
Have you ever talked to any citizens from Tourist Metros (Berlin, Paris, Porto, Milan) in Europe, Tourism is not what defined any of those cities nor is it of hyper-essential economic importance. Tourism for itself only works for purpose built resorts and specialized, not so urban destinations (Coastal Towns, Ski Resorts).

If uncontrolled, tourism takes over those places, eventually, there is little left for tourists to come to, what made the place interesting to begin with.

Unregulated conversion from housing capacity to other uses destroys the social core of neighborhoods, if there are no hard enforced laws against it.

Tourism for a few bucks cheaper in not human right, right to housing is, disproportionally more relevant to the economically most vulnerable people of each neighborhood.

My family travelled France on a budget in the early 90s just coming out of GDR. Doing Housesitting, Camping or Hotels in the outskirts, it was perfectly fine travelling into Paris for 45 Minutes to do sightseeings and Museums.

Doing this on a daily basis, because you were pushed out of your old neighborhood, because of indirectly rising rents or direct airbnb-repurposing, where your job and friends are still, is a whole nother story.

I'm pretty sure "sushi grade" fish is fish that has been frozen properly, and restaurants have to follow FDA guidelines on raw foods like this. It's not just a good idea, it's the law (in the US).

Honestly, my wife and I often forego the freeze step when we make sushi at home. Yes, it's an increased risk, but it's a risk we both accept, and since we typically buy fillets, it's quite possible that it has already been frozen properly but the store isn't comfortable making guarantees.
Your position is just another that has yet to catch on to the fact of asymptomatic transmission. There are countless sources indicating this is happening. Just take the time to read one.
It honestly did not do that for me. (Although I take your point).

I am also working on a private journaling app, with a mild mental-health focus, aimed at teenagers; the idea is that if your parents want to have access to your phone and keep track of what you do, maybe they'll at least be OK with privacy in the form of an app that doesn't have sharing or messaging, doesn't allow for images or video, but just let you write text or record audio messages that are guaranteed private by 256-bit symmetric-key cryptography. No more worrying that your mom might flip through your diary while cleaning your room!
I have two Dell 2-1s I use regularly running Windows 10. My personal laptop and my work laptop, and I have a Dell. All the things wrong with Windows 10 as touch OS.

- x86 is very power inefficient. Every benchmark shows that iPad Pros out perform most x86 laptops. iPads get 10+ hours battery life compared to 3-4 hours from both Dell’s when they were brand new.

- Instant On/Standby time. My first gen iPad was still getting standby times of 3 weeks while still getting notifications 5 years in. Of course my 2017 $469 iPad with cellular will go about a month on standby. My laptops? They take forever to wake from sleep and standby time is not nearly as good.

- Windows 10 is nowhere near as memory or CPU efficient as iPadOS. Can you imagine running Windows with 3GB RAM? The lowend surfaces had 4GB of RAM and ran horribly.

- Most Windows apps and parts of the OS itself has still not been rewritten to be touch friendly. Microsoft Office is even a better experience on iPads than Windows using a touch screen.

- Of course Windows on ARM has been a disaster.

- the 16x9 display of my laptop is horrible in portrait and landscape trying to use the onscreen keyboard.

As far as Jobs “talking shit about x86”, Next was already in the process of porting Next to x86 before Apple acquired them. Jobs admitted that they always had a port of OS X on x86.

Also, the Mac supported multiple mouse buttons since MacOS 8.
I'm not so sure the tests are really the issue here. Were talking about breathing equipment for sick folks (anesthesiologists have proposed repurposing some of the equipment to aid in the shortage). We're talking about personal protective equipment, and the time/energy of the healthcare providers. At least in the case of simply having enough general use equipment for a pandemic, it's something that can be prepared for well in advance.
I have always wanted to read science fiction which focuses on the psychological problems of prolonged solitude in ultra-cramped quarters. This should be an interesting thing to creatively think about. The only story I know which sort of deals with this is "Scanners live in vain"

The olympics angle is somewhat irrelevant — if Japan is totally covid free, but the rest of the world is a mess, then the olympics still can't happen. Local coverup brings no obvious benefits.

To announce a shift in olympic schedule requires a total behind the scenes replanning. I suspect they're on that now, and will announce a new date once logistics have been finalized.
I'm sympathetic to your plight. That's a shitty situation to be in. But AirBnB is not the answer - short term rentals cost more, long term, than a traditional rental unit. You're paying a premium to not be locked into a contract.

I'm sorry to hear that your government is not protecting tenants rights. In other parts of the world, you do have more rights as a long term tenant than as an AirBnB user. And AirBnB's enforcement of their own policies is a joke, considering all the scams and fraud people get away with on the platform.

In other words, if AirBnB is somehow preferable to renting... you've got bigger problems to worry about.
Putting multiple people on one ventilator requires matching lung capacities, it seems like you can get away with 2-4 people on a ventilator if you really need to and have enough selection of patients to pick matching ones, but more than that wouldn't be feasible.

First of all, utterly brilliant! An effort to be lauded in every possible way!

That being said, I think there might be better ways to do the video...

Excerpt:

"So I looked in my drawers and pulled out four 7400 chips—two multiplexers and two parallel-to-serial shift registers. I could set eight pins of the 1284P in parallel and send them simultaneously to the multiplexers and shift registers, which would convert them into a high-speed serial bitstream. In this way I can generate bits fast enough to produce some 215 distinct colors on screen. The cost is that keeping up with the video scan line absorbs a lot of computing capacity: Only about 25 percent of the CPU’s time is available for other tasks."

You know, you could have this computer communicate with a Raspberri Pi over USB, and have the Raspberry Pi act as the computer's "video card". Doing this and only sending parts of the screen that changed (like VNC) might allow many more colors at much higher resolutions, and might not tax the CPU as hard (especially at points in time when the screen doesn't need to be updated)... you know, use the Raspberry Pi as a frame buffer of sorts...

But, that being said, I once again reiterate with respect to the work: Utterly brilliant! An effort to be lauded in every possible way!
I mean, I have. Pretty sure the Japanese dudes serving me omakase knew what they were doing. Would love to go to Japan eventually.
A mismatch or a rare type would be disastrous. And let not even start on prion diseases.
Because they're monocultural and don't have a lot of foreigners living or coming into the country, and the Japanese themselves tend not to travel as much internationally (these days). And yes they wear masks commonly.

> A user provided AES encryption key, called the master key, is used to encrypt auto-generated data keys. Data keys are used to encrypt and decrypt data on disk. Each encrypted data key is stored on disk along with the encrypted data. The length of your master key must be 16, 24 or 32 characters. This determines what version of AES encryption is used (AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256 respectively).

It will be difficult for me to trust a crypto implementation written by people who don’t seem to know what a PBKDF is.
The mistake you have made is leaving the bin at the store before you had consumed the product you bought at the store! At least, that seems to be how they do it. I would buy takeaway coffee and end up holding onto an empty cup for hours as I wandered.

It's an unfortunate situation that we find ourselves in. Perhaps not surprising, however, since it's driven by economics.

For those who care, however, it's not too hard to learn to fix things ourselves with a little practice. Especially for non-tech products.

All video games are an artificial time waster. You either get roguelikes or you don't. You clearly don't.

Let's take your analogy and flip it around:

Imagine trying to play a game, but instead of a logical progression with consequences, you can just pick it up from whatever point you like. If you die, it doesn't matter. You can just completely skip over that part and head to the next. In fact you can begin the game at the final boss if you want.

Net result: you get extremely good at nothing to the point that it's boring because you never have to practice or repeat a single thing.
For those reading who may be reminded of a recent news story - There was never any refusal of purportedly offered test kits. The WHO confirmed that there was never such an offer or even availability and that the rumor was false.

A language study application (focused on Japanese and perhaps Chinese in the future) which learns and adapts to your skill level as you use it, to make time spend studying easier and more effective. In the app store soon?

The idea is to enter terms as you come across them. This could be from classroom materials such as a textbook, or from sources encountered in your daily life such as an article, book, or conversation. The terms entered become part of your repertoire. More frequently encountered terms are prioritized during study sessions. One of the difficult parts about learning Japanese and Chinese is the number of characters that must be learned. The app helps here too, by prioritizing the most commonly encountered characters as well.

Studying is done typical flash cards and a built-in writing journal. The flash cards are pretty simple to begin with but I imagine them getting more capable over time if the app catches on.
> Put them in the correct order, and your initial question is answered.

The post would read almost exactly the same if it addressed your points in the opposite order. Saying it would 'answer' the question as if you're the total arbiter of this is just not true. They're not confused about what you mean, they're disagreeing.

And it's really not a step one, step two situation anyway. Both parts are important at the same time, in different ways.

How does a healthy person wearing a mask prevent contamination?
Into the Breach also gets rid of the real-time aspects of FTL, it's purely turn-based.

Each turn you get to see what the vek (enemy aliens) are about to do, and it's up to you to disrupt their moves so they don't destroy buildings etc.

Each vek move plays an ascending tone one after the other, and even though they're not loud and the notes aren't discordant or anything, it gets really stressful when there are a lot of them.

I love this game.
That doesn't make sense at all. It will be limited though and probably only be available to the most ill and front line medical people, there's simply not enough people to provide the plasma especially if it's voluntary.

Title is just misleading, as is often the case with this kind of studies nowadays.
> “Those masks are almost entirely designed to keep stuff in”

“Keeping stuff in” is exactly the point. Covid-19 causes mild symptoms for most, so many people walk around infecting others without even realising it. Where there is widespread use of masks, transmission is greatly slowed/reduced.

The point of wearing the mask is not only to protect yourself, but even more so to protect others in case you are infected.

I built a workout app for Android/iOS in React Native! It's called Workout Warrior (https://workoutwarrior.app).

It allows you to create your own workout from scratch and tracks your progress. I built it to give users users complete freedom over their workout; you control the sets/reps, the rest-time, and even notifications (or lack thereof).

The project is still in its infancy and I am adding new features as we speak (:
I gave two reasons, I'll give them here again:

1. Masks do work. Wearing a mask obviously provides a better protection than nothing for a healthy person.

You can also read a few studies https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/003335491012500206 https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/744899/facemasks-hand-hyg...

Mask isn't a substitute for hygiene and social-distancing, it's a complementary countermeasure.

2. You don't know for sure a person is healthy right now, and asymptomatic cases are the main drivers of the contagion.

The misinformation you're persistently perpetuating is that US surgeon general is right in saying

> Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

>They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

which is not only wrong but also outright dangerous. How dangerous is this? Look at the spread rate and the number of cases in US vs Japan.

Yes, there is panic buying. The Japanese government is handling the situation by managing the responsible distribution of the masks itself. Like most countries, US may not be able to meet the full demand immediately for the masks that are necessary to slow down the spread, and yes, health care workers do need them, but that can't justify giving dangerous advice and lies to public.
That would depend on the assumptions, those being:

- context i.e. clinical setting vs on the street

- type of mask

- skill set of those using the equipment

For example, knives are very effective in surgery when they are:

- in a surgical theatre

- a scapel

- used by a surgeon

I don't suggest doing surgery in the street with a knife from your kitchen draw used by a teenager.

The medical & scientific professionals who order – & desperately need! – new tests aren't laypeople sifting through online mattress reviews.

They are experts, who can compare results in real cases, learn what's working, and then share their experiences – in their small, real-names, real-reputations communities – with others.

And the tests that have been blocked aren't being developed by fly-by-night hucksters who ride a horse-drawn cart into town, then disappear into the night before their trickery is revealed. They're by existing medical/biotech/scientific giants – who are already supplying the same doctors/hospitals other trusted diagnostics, or supplying the exact same tests around the world with strong track records.

If you think the fake-mattress-reviews issue is a major one, by all means, get a "Federal Mattress Agency" to save the poor consumers. But let doctors/hospitals/scientists develop, and try, new things without months/years of delay on low-risk products.
I'm working on PhotoStructure. After 20 years of taking photos and videos, and suffering through numerous cloud-based photo startups that end up folding in a year or two, multiple crashed servers, and having my smartphone camera feed the adtech beast, I decided I needed something that:

* ran on hardware that I owned (or rented in the cloud)

* had robust de-duplication [1]

* didn't require expensive or proprietary hardware

* ran cross-platform, so libraries can be created, updated, and used on different computers [2]

* uses a web-based UI, so I can see and share my library from any mobile or desktop browser

I'm giving access to the beta in exchange for feedback. I will release another batch of invites when the next release goes live. I've been releasing about every month, but this last version got a case of featuritis[3] and has taken a while to stabilize.
