Concealed carry is not an option for many people: if you have a history of alleged crime yourself, if you live in states or counties that make that unreasonably difficult, or if you are entirely dependent on the finances and will of another person (try sneaking away for the required training and time to pass a background check when you're bordering on a human trafficking situation), it's effectively impossible. There's also wait periods. People have been murdered during cooling-off periods because they didn't have a gun until it was clear their partner wanted to kill them, but by then it was too late to wait 5 days. There's only so much the police can do about your intuition, or even a verbal threat.

Restraining orders also only stop people willing to respect them. If someone wants to commit murder, the idea of violating a restraining order marginally increasing the punishment and risk of capture changing their mind is a bit laughable.

It's a long answer to this, but I'd suggest people look up the "Wanted Podcast" episode 22 to understand similar situations better. It's 2 bail recovery agents telling a story of a skip they tracked down. She had missed a court date (probably because of her situation - being effectively forced into prostitution). She was in a terrible situation, but because of drug addiction and other psychological control in an abusive relationship, she couldn't bring herself to leave. She had called her parents for help, but then called back and told them to ignore it. One of the toughest people I've ever known hesitated to confront the man controlling her life. She had a phone at times, but it could be taken away by her captor, and when she had chances to leave she wouldn't take them. I doubt she specifically would use an app like this, but it's a case of not wanting to leave, being able to leave whenever she wants, but at times it escalates and she wants to leave but loses her ability to call for help.

It's irrational, but it happens to people.

You want to argue that Bill Gates has never made a bad judgment call in his life? Are you kidding me? I know the guy called a future pandemic. I watched his TED talk. Doesn't change the fact that he's wrong on this call. I am saying with caveats: 1) leave the country open 2) require masks in public 3) temp checks for fevers 4) expand and continue drive thru testing

It's not hard to grasp that rural areas are going to have a slower rate of transmission as a matter of course because social distancing is built into those communities. For one, there's less public transportation. Two, all major gatherings have already been cancelled. Three, people are already voluntarily limiting social contact.

This disease is going to fester for another year or so. It's not practical any more to try to contain the outbreak. The idea at this point is to limit the number of cases at any given time to prevent overburdening the local community's medical resources. My mother is a nurse. They've cancelled all elective surgery in preparation for a tsunami of patients in central Florida. As a result their hospital has less than 50% utilization right now. It's slower than it normally is for their hospital! All these other health problems are getting the back burner for COVID-19. How long can you carry that on for? The disease may peak in NYC in 2 weeks but peak in Montana in 2 months. New Mexico may peak in October. You've got to have a rolling adaptable policy for each region. You cannot do blanket policies.

I understand that it's a very broad spectrum.

However, what I am observing is that 'capital' gets its hand in any aspect of life, the formerly family owned coffee machine maker, lingerie producer and the outdoor specialist went through couple of private equity hands - for what? For injecting capital to trim down ops, expand, then get out of a position?

After watching hundreds of hours of investing conference videos and interviews there is one thing, that really got me: why is this field so sad? I believe it's because all they ever talk about what they "own". The cannot make, invent, heal, fight, cook, write, harvest or any other human activity - all they do is "own" something that is valuable to others.

Imagine kids playing in the playground and all the talk about is what each of them owns. They cannot read, write, play an instrument, tell jokes, do tricks, etc. - no, but they control those who can and are productive.

I am not sure why, but I'd rather have a kid with talents than one with lots of "assets" (even though in this world talent does not matter, if you've got the assets).

> In the coming months, we will provide the ability to define additional configuration settings for 1.1.1.1 for Families. This will include options to create specific whitelists and blacklists of certain sites. You will be able to set the times of the day when categories, such as social media, are blocked and get reports on your household's Internet usage.

Also, re: “how they evaluate websites”—most websites explicitly opt into being considered “adult content” by these filters, either by submitting themselves to the filter, or by adding meta tags to their pages to declare either specific content warnings, or a category of some age-rating taxonomy (usually a country-specific one repurposed from that country’s film/TV rating system, but crawlers make do.) Unlike malware, “adult content” is not adversarial to the ecosystem it’s a part of.
If video conferencing wasn't complicated, there'd actually be a product everyone likes. So far, everyone seems to hate all of them.

Having read both PAIP and Practical CL, I do not see them as comparable: PAIP teaches classical AI algorithms, and introduces as much CL as nacessary to carry out the task; Practical CL instead has a goal of teaching Common Lisp, and uses coding examples to showcase features the language.

I agree that the MP3 streaming server example in PCL looks outdated, but so are many topics in PAIP as Norvig himself points out at the end of his retrospective [1]. (And I still think that the MP3 parser in PCL is a really good example for showing Lisp I/O, binrary processing abilities, and subtleties of CLOS, despite not being something that anyone would code as a side project nowadays.)

It is generally considered unsafe to eat wild rabbit until after the first hard frost due to tularemia. If you do harvest wild rabbit, pay close attention to the internal organs and discard any meat where the internal organs are discolored or spotted. Also, pay close attention to the tick/flea load on the animal. At least, that is widespread country wisdom around these parts, YMMV.
"We can start now by building the facilities where these vaccines will be made," Gates wrote. "Because many of the top candidates are made using unique equipment, we’ll have to build facilities for each of them, knowing that some won’t get used."

"Private companies can’t take that kind of risk, but the federal government can. It’s a great sign that the administration made deals this week with at least two companies to prepare for vaccine manufacturing. I hope more deals will follow," he added.

Arguably, this is precisely the kind of risk that venture capital and startups take every day. Yes, government needs to co-ordinate funding for this and execute where it can. Anything that helps them is great.

However, if someone wants to put $10 million (total of large seed rounds or a small A) into building these facilities as well, open it up, as there is a huge amount of cash sitting on the sidelines right now, and if a small team can get these built, it's worth examining the potential.

"Honda has done what no other car maker is doing" isn't correct. For the latest Mazda 3 (2019) Mazda has made the same decision. There's a non-touch screen which can only be controlled by a center knob for safety.
It's compounded by the fact that typical abusers are charming people and normal people cannot imagine the full extent of spouse/child abuse, consequently everything the victim says must be totally made up.

The cops are specially evil in that regard, incidence of family abuse in the steroid gang is 5 times the regular population. If you call the police you may find they'll side against the caller.
Thanks for putting that data. It's helping a lot.

It's funny how most companies are not really remote because they only hire in the US (even if you can work PST/EST), so they ignore the rest of the World. But I have been using the 'Anywhere' tag and found a bunch on interesting ones.
Yes, but understanding how it operates and your target audience are distinct. Make it clear it is a "domestic abuse panic button". Put yourself in the user's shoes. It is still a "dead man's switch", but that's not what to call it to effectively market it.
But how could it be modified? What is the threat model? An evil network? TLS solves that. Evil code on the local machine? You are boned anyway and probably lose to TOCTOU problems when validating the signature on the script.
It's not just Trump. If you're interpreting their comment as satirical solely because of the reference to Trump, you're missing the point of my own.
No one in charge of the United States has ever deserved that title, nor tried to live up to it. It was never anything but well-aimed propaganda. That it's lived past the Cold War (and, do note, was coined in reference to someone far more damaging to freedom than Trump) is ridiculous.
Easy for Bill Gates, he won't be standing in the food lines in 12 months when the result of this shutdown starts to really hit home.

We are going to look back on this as a huge mistake. Its one thing if 50% of the population dies and your trying to save them. Its another thing when its somewhere around 2%, which is roughly the yearly death toll, which means about 2x the number of people who were going to die this year are going to die.

How to Prepare for Investor Meetings
Bill Gates' meddling is a big part of what got us into this mess. He's practically bought out the WHO, here's some good reading on that: https://www.politico.eu/article/bill-gates-who-most-powerful...

So we have a weak WHO that people are manipulating for their personal goals, altruistic or not. Then there's this outbreak in China, and the WHO just completely screwed up every opportunity to contain the thing. They went right along with the Chinese government and announced no evidence of human to human transmission (their travel advisory said if you go to Wuhan you should wash your hands).

Now in my opinion the WHO should be tearing into the Chinese government for an apparent coverup and allowing the virus to spread internationally. Instead Tedros, WHO head and Bill Gates connection, is praising China.
Even worse:

I didn't realize that. Thanks.

Author's character aside, the math still seems right to me.

But I'm receptive to any published journal articles that explain how 350m people with a 1%~ fatality rate leads to less than 1m deaths.
> which is not what his original estimate said at all!

That 'original estimate' is from the paper that 'alexandercrohde linked, and that's pretty much exactly what his original estimate said.

> In the (unlikely) absence of any control measures or spontaneous changes in individual behaviour, we would expect a peak in mortality (daily deaths) to occur after approximately 3 months(Figure 1A). In such scenarios, given an estimated R0 of 2.4, we predict 81% ofthe GB and US populations would be infected over the course of the epidemic. Epidemic timings are approximate given the limitations of surveillance data in both countries: The epidemic is predicted to be broader in the US than in GB and to peak slightly later. This is due to the larger geographic scale of the US, resulting in more distinct localised epidemics across states (Figure 1B)than seen across GB. The higher peak in mortality in GB is due to the smaller size of the country and its older population compared with the US. In total, in an unmitigated epidemic, we would predict approximately 510,000 deaths in GB and 2.2 million in the US, not accounting for the potential negative effects of health systems being overwhelmed on mortality.

"In the (unlikely) absence of any control measures or spontaneous changes in individual behaviour" means "assuming people do nothing."

Can you please provide a link to more info about the 20k number?

EDIT: thanks to 'alexandercrohde, the 20k number is in fact for the UK, not the US, meaning that it is from this same paper too (see rest of thread)

If you're selling a commodity product available on multiple websites, having a presence on coupon and cashback websites can help you capture some of the aggressively frugal customers. However, you need to be prepared to have the best deals if you want these customers.

On the other hand, if your product is only available on your website, you don't need to compete as much on price. In this case, coupons are more useful for generating a sense of urgency. If you offer coupons sparingly and with specific time limits, the frugal customers can feel compelled to order now before the price goes back up. However, you have to balance this against a perception than they can get a better price by waiting for the next coupon to appear. Use this opportunity to capture them into your e-mail marketing campaign (Sign up to get news and special coupons).
Apologies for that.

Thank you sincerely for one of the most valuable interactions I've had on the internet in recent memory.

Perhaps I've been deceived by how "simple" the schematics for the Pi compute module look, and overconfident after my first experience designing PCBs. There doesn't _seem_ to be that much (that I would need) actually routed on the pi compute module (hdmi, audio, etc, etc, etc)

I always seem to forget about NXP family of chips, but indeed NXP seems to do an amazing job of supporting their products and pricing competitively.

Again, my sincere thanks <3
C++ requires using the template keyword to disambiguate, i.e., one has to write `foo.template bar<22>()` as opposed to `foo.bar<22>()` (did you mean `(foo.bar < 2*2) > ()` ?).

The main reason Rust meta-programming is so much better than D and C++ is that Rust has an LL(k) grammar that's trivial to parse into ASTs that can be easily manipulated.

That feature alone is definitely worth the annoyance of having to use an editor that types `{}` for you when inputting a constant expression. It's the same with removing the `::` in `::<>` - can be done, but the costs are not worth the ergonomic improvement.

That is, I don't think the claim that the braces are redundant is correct - they are there for a reason: to keep a simple grammar, which happens to be one of the most important Rust features that everybody uses every day (every single proc macro uses this feature, that includes the `println!` in `println!("Hello World")` Rust examples).
Filtering out ad websites would be more useful for me. I'm using https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ with my own DNS, but probably big website like Cloudflare could block even more ad websites.
> the exception handler can run before the stack is unwound.

Old basic had an error handling model that is exceptionally elegant in some cases: "on error goto ...", with an an indication (errline, I think?) of where the exception happened, and then you could "resume next" to continue (perhaps after fixing the error condition, if the error handler is somewhere else) or directly restart at an earlier point if that makes sense.

It's simple, a little goto-ish, and has abuse potential - but if actually used, tended to end with robust code where the "usual path" was the simplified "that's what we usually do", and all the "in case something was unexpected" are listed independently. C code using goto for error handling (e.g. in the linux kernel) has similar properties.

try/catch, in all languages it exists, does not let you restart in the middle unless all the error handling code is in-line (which is comparatively disgusting IMO); lisp conditions do, and more - but they only exist in Lisp.

I'm going a bit meta here:

I absolutely love that the first comment I see coming into the discussion is someone arrogantly telling (us, not the author) how to do their job, when evidently we're looking at one of the most thought-out, better engineered pieces of software there is in their area (JSON parsing).

What's more, the authors of simdjson show a lot of benchmarks, explain how they got there, they provide their effort in a liberal license, and yet... This peep over here comes to tell us how he thinks that's wrong...

Just got a bit ranty. And sorry eska for taking a bit of your comment for it. You tried to give some sense into this guy.

Edit: at first I thought this was the top comment because of being newer... Nope, it's the top comment alltogether. Followed by another comment about the same time as old of someone telling how great this library is and how they're using it in production with a rust wrapper.

Someone else already explained what IPFS is. So let me offer a different way of seeing the whole "can you delete a file from this system?" thing.

IPFS is a protocol, just like HTTP. So the question could be rephrased as "How do you delete a file from HTTP?" The answer is: you don't. Just as on the web and on the internet, you can link files from your machines. If someone downloads it, they can share it with others. If no one downloads it, and you stop sharing it, it's effectively deleted. Same goes for IPFS.
