Hotter temperatures do not guarantee the cessation of all possible transmission of SARS-CoV-2, it impedes it in relation to the increase in temperature (and also ideally humidity, particularly indoors). It helps make everything else you might do for slowing the spread more effective and easier. There is very strong evidence at this point that SARS-Cov-2 is susceptible to the same seasonality factors as influenza. We're seeing this demonstrated all around the world simultaneously in warmer climates, from Mexico to sub Sahara Africa to hotter countries in Asia. It's why none of the major cities in Latin America are seeing the kind of infection rates as NYC or Milan (or as Wuhan previously did). It's why sub Sahara Africa isn't getting hammered (despite plenty of international traffic and trade, including previously from China, that should have massively spread it). It's why India still isn't seeing a massive explosion in cases, as has been feared since the beginning of the outbreak in China.

Check out: Mobile & Birmingham & Montgomery Alabama, the Western handle of Florida, Jackson Mississippi, look at other cities in Louisiana that didn't hold Mardi Gras (and one assumes those cities still got a burst of their cases from the Mardi Gras spread event).

It still reduces particles you inhale. Sure virus is smaller than holes in your average mask but usually virus will be floating in fluid. Those should get stopped by mask.

Personally, I have been using these cheap masks for over a decade whenever I have to clean any dusty place like a garage. If I don't wear one, I am almost guaranteed a a bad allergic reaction. If I do wear one while cleaning, I might sneeze a bit but usually not need Benadryl and pass out for rest of the day.

I imagine same principle applies when it comes to COVID19.

Git succeeded because it was free, and then business models were able to be built up around the open-source ecosystem after a market evolved naturally. There is a need, but if you go into it trying to build a business from scratch, you're going to have a bad time.
Exactly. For example, back on February 3 we had this from Harvard epidemiologists:

> “Many epidemiologists and people who are following this outbreak closely are assuming that it’s probably quite a bit more widespread than the case counts suggest,” said Michael Mina, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “Many people also think that there’s probably over 100,000 in reality out in mainland China, for example. We just don’t capture all of those through the case reporting we have. … We can assume that this is growing at somewhat of an exponential rate, and it will continue increasing in scale.”

AFAIU, some populations are more likely to exhibit non-overweight, non-obese NAFLD. Likewise for type 2 diabetes.
From your FAQ:

> There is a way to import members from your existing meetup.com group. HOWEVER! The member export from Meetup does NOT include email addresses of all your members - so you must notify them separately of the change. Detailed instructions about that process are available after you set up your group.

Why do I need to sign up to read that info? Why can't you just put it in the FAQ? To be honest that kind of "paywall" doesn't inspire confidence in your service.

And what about exporting members from your service? Is that possible, and if so how does it work? The last thing I want to do as a Meetup organizer is bring all my members into another walled garden.
There's also a few different issues getting mixed up here. I'm not sure I prefer remote work all things kept equal, but I can have a much better workspace at home than I'm going to get in the typical open-floor-plan office setting.

Oh that's interesting, I had always seen the chiplet thing as purely for yield reasons, I never thought about the "one wafer, tons of SKUs" aspect.

It also, I believe, lets them use a different process node for the I/O parts of the assembly, which may be deliberate -- not only do I/O transceivers not benefit from the smaller silicon, it may actually hurt them when you look at the electrical needs of driving larger buses, surviving potential ESD events, etc. (That's purely speculation on my part, and I'd love to hear from someone with more clue..)
Hence “MEGA church”. There are several in the Atlanta area. One is actually 12 campuses, seating ~2,500 each, typically with a live pastor at one being telecast to the others on life-size projections (effect of virtual presence is pretty convincing). Others hold thousands at one sitting with multiple services.

550 is “normal” in comparison.
This is not true (at least if you are a contractor or are self employed). You deduct your health insurance premiums (and all sorts of other expenses like home office) as business expenses. After that’s done you pay tax on the rest. source - I’ve been contracting for 6 years and buying my own insurance.

I wonder if this is due to risk of beating facial recognition technology. If masks become common, add in sun glasses and most facial recognition cameras will fail. Governments will be back to zero on tracking their citizens. I know this sounds nuts but I keep thinking why there was such a strong push against public wearing these masks.
It doesn't appear to scale past a certain size of city very well. Lot's of people get best case baseline fps of around 50. Great game for the most part though.
Surely not allowing any bad news would backfire? If I knew that all bad news was being redacted it'd make me worry about whether or not there was bad news I just wasn't being told about constantly.
I think the mechanics of how to actually take down content is getting pretty far past my knowledge but I suspect this falls in the general category of "people still have the free will to break the law" and isn't about copyright law particularly. The takedown process is specific to the DMCA's concept of online service providers - YouTube keeps its safe harbor as long as it promptly responds to takedown notices (and counternotices). But if you want some content off my personal blog, there isn't a specific "takedown" procedure - you just tell me that every time someone downloads it, I'm making yet another illegal copy, so it's probably a good idea for me to get rid of the page. If I refuse, I think your legal process is roughly the same as if I were defaming you or whatever on my blog.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/504 has some details on damages (but also note https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/412 , that you need to register copyright to get the option of statutory damages). I think (but I am a bit unsure about this) that if I posted some copyrighted content on a blog without permission, I'd be liable for the $750 in damages if the copyright holder had registered it and found it worthwhile to go to court to get it.

What it’s like to attend a conference–in person–in the age of Covid-19
This would have been helpful weeks ago. Now I fear that Americans are set in their coronavirus way - we expect grocery stores to sanitize every item but don't think twice about walking right in front of a cashier with no mask!
This information is available for most states at this point (it's sometimes harder to find city data broken out, that varies; every state has Covid data available, published daily or close to it (a few seem to lag by a day)).

Show me the 500-2500 dead people in Texas per day, which is what should be happening if they were seeing the surge. Show me a massive explosion in positive cases and hospitalizations. The fact is, it's not happening.

34 deaths in Texas and zero big surge:

https://covidtracking.com/data/state/texas/#history

The testing information has been flawed as a resource in all locations except for a few around the world (eg South Korea, which has been a stellar example). You want to look at the deaths and hospitalizations, the flooding of ICUs in the states. The states I've listed are seeing none of the huge surge that the other high-infection rate climates have. The US isn't hiding tens of thousands of recent Covid deaths from the past week. Our testing has ramped up such that we're able to do near a million tests per week now. If Texas cities were seeing hundreds of daily Covid deaths, it would be everywhere in the news, on social media and so on (as it is in NYC).

Take a look at the SF local metro. Take a look at the infections, hospitalizations and deaths. The SF metro should be buried right now, and it's not at all. The Bay Area has 8 million people, where are the 50,000 cases, surging cases by the thousands per day, and hundreds dead per day? It's not happening. It should have been hit early and hard, and it hasn't been.

Los Angeles has a lot of poverty and healthcare problems, it should be an ideal explosion city. It has seen anything but that outcome despite all of its problems. Los Angeles isn't hiding many thousands of dead Covid patients and ICU cases from the past week.

Take a look at San Diego County. Same thing.

You might wonder: why am I bringing this up, why does it matter? We're misallocating healthcare resources based on an incorrect premise that all locations are equally susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 (which has also led to very flawed speculation, extrapolation, on expected national case numbers (eg: 70% will get infected, a million will die; headlines of: your city could be the next NYC)). Simple example: they sent the USNS Mercy navy ship to Los Angeles, it's needed off the coast of NYC to a dramatically greater degree - LA isn't going to see the same kind of surge (theirs will be far more mild). Conceptually we need Texas and Arizona manufacturing resources for the hard hit climates.
RChilli Announces Partnership with Oracle
Eh, I worked on database with branches in 2002 for 3 years while I was at ESRI. It is called a versioned system... Here is how it works from an answer I gave several years back on gis.stackexchange https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/15203/when-versionin...
Try it yourself. I'm with OP, and know I'm reducing my chances of being infected by wearing a mask. Like most people, I can't go 5 minutes without poking my eyes or sticking my fingers up my nose. But put on my smoke respirator from the recent bush fires and I have no problem doing an hour long shopping trip. The pressure it puts on my face stops tickling.

The intentional misspelling comes off as mocking and derisive, which risks undermining the point.

But to that point... I'll admit I have been there. At times, if I'm just relaxing, constant corrections can feel pedantic, endless, tiring, and uncharitable.

I see the other side too though. Other times, I really need a place for careful discussion of ideas, where we all try to contribute what we know and learn from each other, as a refuge from all the places dominated by anti-intellectualism.

So I know it can be draining, but I'd hate for peer pressure from a vocal minority to chill useful intelligent contributions in other threads. I don't want anyone to feel like they'll be made fun of for simply trying to contribute to a discussion.

Unimportant "well actually" posts can be downvoted or ignored. There's no equivalent workaround for overcorrection, no way to save the insightful addition someone never posts to avoid the risk of getting made fun of.
Could probably assume only 90% of that due to typical line down time for maintenance, sku changes, operator error, etc.

Sorry, I should have written more clearly.

- Government forces state-issued certificate on all computers:

The government doesn't hide that it's MitM'ing all traffic. The traffic it can't read is blocked. All citizens must install a state-issued certificate to reach any content. There's nothing to do against it. This is what's happening in Kazakhistan now. If another country's government passes a bill, then they can enforce their certificates too. CAA and OCSP are irrelevant here.

- Website X issued a certificate from CA Y. CA Y is in government Z's jurisdiction. Government Z forces CA Y to issue that same certificate for itself. Because government Z make the laws fuck you:

This time the government hides that it's MitM'ing website X's traffic. No way to detect. The government decrypts traffic on the air. CAA and OCSP are irrelevant here.

- Stolen certificate:

Somebody stole the root certificate or stole a certificate given to specific website X. Now that somebody(maybe government) doesn't use this certificate widely but use it to attack to a specific target. It may be detectable but if the attacker uses it cleverly, it may also works. CAA and OCSP are relevant here.

- We deploy a new decentralized mechanism for TLS:

The government doesn't have a company or an organization to ask for a copy of a certificate. That authority is distributed among peers. Since the internet is built on this decentralized certification system, the government couldn't force its citizens to install a state-issued certificate because now the internet doesn't work that way. Now we can use this to secure DNS too.

Think it like this: The governments can't go and ask Open Whisper Systems to decrypt Signal messages, it would be ridiculous. We have to build HTTPS in a way that it would be ridiculous for a government to go to an organization and ask for certificates/keys.

I hope I made myself clear now.

This is a legacy path in the installer they are abusing.

Pre-install scripts are only supposed to do things like check if you have prerequisites installed, eg if your app requires some version of Python or whatever.

Instead they are abusing that to just install everything immediately.

There is literally no reason for it beyond saving one or two clicks.
It's really a simple logic: it's hard to enforce strict social distance, and it is hard to know if someone, even myself, is contagious. And there are so many uncertainties. What if I was contagious, and sneezed when someone is in front of me but 6 feet away? What if someone beside me thought Covid-19 was just another type of flu and couldn't care less even though she was already symptomatic? Really, weakness and ignorance are not barriers of survival. Arrogance is.

All respect friend, but I feel you're the one who are gravely mistaken about what a company is or how it should work.

We're not talking about capitalism, but corporatism, and corporations are social organizations and to understand them is not to understand supply and demand but humans and how we gather.

The decision to cut pay or lay off employees is never amoral. It's an example of the trolley problem. It is wholly irrational to think a business decision that impacts other human beings and their livelihood as amoral. If it were amoral, managers wouldn't lose sleep at night when they look at the org chart and make hard decisions when push comes to shove.

I don't think that this particular decision was evil. I think the attitude you express about how companies "should" or "do" operate is both wrong and at the heart of evil and immoral companies.

It's fine if you think I don't understand capitalism, because what I'm talking about is empathy.

von neumann’s original papers mention that his studies on CA were an abstraction due to the limitations of 1940’s technology. His main concern was really automatic replication of real world physical objects.

There are pages of results on Youtube, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HluIkTbTBIw for a respirator type mask.

I would also recommend if you are following the procedure with a reused mask to immediately wash your hands afterwards since you will be touching a contaminated surface. Guides assume you are using a fresh mask, per health worker procedures.

Still not answering my most burning question: How does this work with copyright etc.?

Do they just ignore it, assuming that doing the right thing in an emergency situation will be made legal later?

I'd be really interested in their legal argument/analysis and decision-making (whether it's "the emergency changes what represent fair use", "there are laws that allow extraordinary measures in case of emergencies and we claim it's that", or "screw this paper-pushing bullshit and do what's right").

And regardless of this, I fully support this decision of course.

I wonder if there is a project where a cheaper hospital for a third world country can be created by using tech which is old but not covered under current IP (expired patents).

I mean i believe stuff like MRI cannot be manufactured by non large manufacturers but what about all other machines.

My guess is the bottleneck would be no one except current manufacturers make it at scale to do it cheap enough. It would be a great project to have though.

When i look at the prices of certain devices it just boggles my mind. It is crazier when one realizes that some of these are not even patent protected.
