What an evil product. It's not just "oops, what a cock up". Sarah's brief testing shows it clearly blocks gay support sites en-masse, but permits most well known nazi sites.

Clearly no diligence was done at all at Cloudflare. The entire idea of filtering for "adult" content at the DNS is fundamentally flawed, and clearly they just assumed they could buy something instead of realising no such list exists that isn't irredeemably toxic.

my first exposure to mobile phones was through a Perry Mason episode, and I was flummoxed. I was so enamored that I held my first mobile phone that I had purchased in the early 90's with glee.

but, I was in no way the first, and it turns out there were over a million mobile phones in cars in the 1960's, with a little more pedigree to what we now have than the biplanes: https://weburbanist.com/2012/09/18/remember-millions-of-mobi...
Thanks for your post. If you're launching a new product, how do you compete with products that have loads of features?

At a previous startup I worked for we wrote tax software, which was a well established and entrenched market. Our big thing was really cloud-based, but acquiring customers was often really hard because we were always missing that one feature that people really cared about (and it's never the same feature).

>It's true that this is a special case, but it's meant to clearly illustrate the underlying truth: to have positive outcomes, most children require variable amounts of coercion.

Because it's a special case it doesn't actually illustrate this "underlying truth". I think this kind of coercion tries to normalize kids, to make them more like parents think all the other kids are like. However, it's quite common that parents, for some reason, don't seem to understand (remember) what kids are actually like. Coercing a child can backfire disastrously. It can make them dependent on you and thus unable to deal with life later on. It can make them reject you and rebel against you and the values you try to teach them. What I'm trying to say is that this isn't predictable. There is no straightforward "children need coercion" type thing. If my parents had tried to be as controlling as many people in this thread seem to be, then I would probably never have spoken to them as an adult.

One comment on this being a good prediction of what we see in 2020. Yes, it was obvious in the 1990s that the web was going to be a platform for apps. That was why browsers were such a big piece of the antitrust case against Microsoft. The charge made against Microsoft was that it was better to write to a browser API than to the Windows API, and that's why Microsoft did what it could to kill browser competition with a Windows-only browser. That way, even if you wrote to the browser API, you were still writing your app for Windows.

Java transformed the way people thought about these things. Microsoft didn't like Java and they didn't like competing browsers because they were reasonable platforms.
It'd be totally fine had they respected the license or attributed the project. It's great to know that people use your app and find it useful, and that's why I offered the app to JHU to publish it in their name when Apple rejected it.
I'm bothered more by the way the app is published without attribution and how I knew about that.

It has come to my attention that this is a troubling time for the world and I would like to share some of what I've learned with you. The first thing you need to know about me is that I'm not an activist. In fact, if you Google me you'll find that I'm not even very political. I just want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy.

But when it comes to the vaccine debate, I've been a vocal critic for years.

According to this 2018 article from The Verge[1], the new T-Mobile will have 90 million customers putting it just behind AT&T (at 93 million) and slightly farther behind Verizon (116 million). The New T-Mobile's customer base will still be more heavily weighted towards lower-cost prepaid customers rather than higher-cost postpaid consumer and business customers compared to their competitors so they will probably remain behind them in ARPU.

Thanks for mentioning that, I didn't know about k-space. I worked with 2D Fourier transforms a lot in MATLAB about 15 years ago, but if anyone has info or examples of a 3D FT and how to interpret them, I'd love to see them.
It would be a different story if hospitals were upfront and honest. They are currently being neither.

They should be protecting the people who can actually help save other people even if they can't protect everyone. Should nurses in KY stop wearing masks because nurses in NY are out? I understand you point on "interpersonal tension" but people need to get over it right now and protect themselves in whatever way possible even if that means I walk into a hospital and see a nurse with a bandana over their face (already happening in some hospitals AND part of the CDC "Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of Facemasks" [0] -- Read the "HCP use of homemade masks" section)

I had Sprint WiMAX for my primary home internet connection for a while -- but I could literally see the tower out of my window. I loved it at the time.

But I was in the center of a pretty decent sized city. There wasn't even service in the burbs at that point, and by the time it got there, LTE was already a thing and Sprint was stuck with only a couple of odd-ball devices for their 4G network.

Momentum means a lot. It's hard to make money selling your service if the devices that people want don't support it.

It was like ~2010/2011 when WiMAX was a really hot tech. The iPhone 5 launched with LTE in 2012.
Or it can work the opposite way and everyone wearing masks will remind people that things aren't normal and they should stay at home.
How C++ Templates Are Used for Generic Programming: An Empirical Study on 50 OSS
Median age of cars on the road today is a little under 11 years.

Growing global warming problems and anti-environmenalist population aging means there will be growing support for taxing ICE and incentivizing electric vehicles.

The used market will begin to include more and more electrics.

Electrics are far cheaper to operate, competition and economies of scale will make electrics cheaper because they are far mechanically simpler.

Some places already have plans for banning ICE vehicles, cost be damned.

> Gates argues for a 10 week or more shutdown and then says we are ~18 months from a vaccine. If we are 18 months from the definitive solution shutting down for 10 weeks doesn't solve much.

It actually does. Theresa a trade-off between shutdown costs and other costs, and the other costs get worse the longer a continuous shutdown is, so the recommendation of pretty much every source I've seen, that treats this as “we need to get to effective vaccine/treatment before full return to normalcy” favors a 2-3 month general shutdown to flatten the curve followed by an extended period where local decisions about the degree of shutdown needed are made based on local capacity and caseload trends, which likely means on-again, off-again shutdown to a certain extent. The strategy is about preventing healthcare system overload while mitigating the adverse effects of extended total shutdown, until you've got vaccine or treatment deployed.
Yes, indeed.

I would define "immortality" (i.e., with the quotes, so not immortality) as the ratio of average or mean life expectancy to years-to-maturity. Today our "immortality" is ~4.4. If we lived to ~200 years with adulthood still starting at 18 we'd have an "immortality" of ~11. If we lived to 1,000 with adulthood starting at 18 then we'd have an "immortality" of 55.56.

We could fix these problems by lengthening childhood by the same factor as life expectancy, but then the new thing wouldn't be very interesting.

If you are having trouble finding elastic for the elastic bands, try looking for stuff like elastic hair ties and even waists for underpants and bras. (Probably want a new pair!) Materials for making masks are mostly sold out right now but we should have the materials already.
Telephone literally means “far voice” in Greek. A device does not require a dial pad to be a phone. The article establishes earlier radio communication as using basically Morse code (telegraphy). This is a “phone” because it uses voice (telephony) instead of some other signaling.

It’s not a common use of the word phone today but it is a reasonable interpretation based on the technology of the time and how it was used.
The problem is that enough people feel a certain way about parenting and this has been made law in western countries. Children aren't allowed to play outside unsupervised. In some places children aren't even allowed to go to school and come back on their own. This means that parents are already telling other parents how to raise their children.

> No one is saying you shouldn't take the occasional walk while maintaining physical separation, in fact, that's what's being encouraged here.

It depends where. There are countries on lockdown where you are not allowed to go more than 100 m from your home even for exercise. If you live on a street consisting of blocks, then that means there are so many people at a time who would want to do their exercise, that you couldn't really maintain physical separation. Consequently, the authorities expect everyone to stay at home and e.g. buy an exercise bike. Also note that China’s approach in Wuhan was that no one may leave their housing block.
But in Window's SEH, you can fix up a page fault and re-start the offending instruction. You have access to the detailed machine state, like all the registers and the bad address where an invalid access took place and such.

RealWork | Full Stack Engineer / Potential Co-Founder | Brooklyn | ONSITE (MAYBE REMOTE) |

RealWork™ gives field workers access to the same kind of productivity tools that the tech industry has been enjoying for years.

80% of the workforce is not sitting at their desks. They are putting up drywall at construction sites, helping customers in retail shops, and stocking shelves in a warehouse.

Yet, only 1% of Silicon Valley investments are allocated to solving the issues these “frontline” employees encounter on a regular basis. Employees working out in the field need tools specifically designed to fit their needs.

We are looking for an active CTO or potentially technical co-founder to join our team. You will be running a team of 5 (1 iOS, 1 Android, 3 Web developers) and will be responsible for architecting and developing the already quite advanced platform.

Venezuela in 1992 was semi-socialist, it had a state-run oil company, but it wasn't part of the Communist Bloc (for lack of a better term). Chavez aligned his country with China and Russia to the detriment of his own people and his own countries' ability to produce oil.

Communism is basically a political syndicate the masquerades as an economic system. Venezuela's oil production has been collapsing for over two decades and much of what remains is basically Chinese/Sinopec owned production that Chavez sold them back in '06 or so in exchange for _loans_ for their social services programs.

According to a friend of mine who was working down there they were flying workers in to work the rigs and flying them home to spend their money.

Having the government run the markets, even when an emergency dictates it, is a process that attracts the corrupt.
That sounds like a fair complaint to me!
> Zoom is a US company that is not answerable to the Chinese government.

If that was true, then events like the Huawei USA "Tappy" [1] incident wouldn't have occurred. In any case, I'm not trying to take a stance here but merely wanted to correct your statement that they had more engineers in the US than in China.

> "...some models can be helpful in reasoning..."

totally, models/stereotypes are useful shortcuts and aids. i was mainly advising against soley/overly relying on them. (and online quizzes are always fun!)

yes to election reform! especially curtailing/leveling money's influence, and de-gerrymandering, as both are unnecessary consolidations of power.

as for temporary/emergency powers, skepticism and resistance should correlate with the size of the governing body (somewhat ok with my mayor but not keen on my president exerting power domestically).

Not only taught to not wear masks but also taught to distrust what officials say. And we really didn’t need that when there are plenty of crackpot theories going around already (Coronavirus is a conspiracy, it’s triggered by 5G, vaccines are bad, etc)

I feel this was a really really bad move which will result in otherwise avoidable deaths from people arguing they shouldn’t do what officials say because they lied about such an important issue before.
