> it is a 3M press release stating 3M will not comply with the Act

Where does this press release state that?

It says the literal opposite:

"We look forward to working with FEMA to implement yesterday’s order."
3M is in the right here
> We look forward to working closely with the Administration to implement yesterday’s DPA order.

They will comply at least that’s what their letter further down says

Thanks! I'll check out your speed up trick. I also discovered the ffmpeg reddit today.

I've been playing around a bunch with FFmpeg these last few days because I thought it was ridiculous I had to manually perform certain tasks in ScreenFlow which appeared entirely programmable.

I have another more interesting post on subtitles / captions, but that is for a more niche audience.

Pretty interesting how H.265/HEVC Hardware encoding differs across platforms and how software encoding produces much smaller files at the same quality.
We're not doing much better.

I’ve used this approach - Go with templates TailwindCSS or Bootstrap, and on-page interactivity with IntercoolerJS or AlpineJS.

The US won't be the first or the last to do this. I mean read the article below: 68 countries already ban the export of masks.

https://globalnews.ca/news/6769162/canada-medical-supplies-c...

Here the EU has banned the export of masks unless the country's government approves (which is what Trump is doing)
https://www.politico.eu/article/coronavirus-eu-limit-exports...

Also not mentioned Russia and Taiwan also banned all export of masks.

Out bidding someone in an open market is now "piracy'?
> This is a very good point.

It's actually kind of a terrible point, because they're completely different countries. The ones who are trying to buy masks from the US aren't the ones selling them to the US.

But export restrictions are also kind of silly. Why not just outbid the other guy for the masks? Then the higher price will bring more producers into the market faster, which is really the most important thing anyway.

The maximum penalty provided by the Defense Production Act is a $10,000 fine, or one year in prison, or both.

The government may also seek an injunction from a court of appropriate jurisdiction to prohibit the continuance of any violation of, or to enforce compliance with, the Defense Production Act, this part, or an official action.

As a maybe 13 or 14 year old, the manual for the Osbourne2 Z80 CPM machine dad bought contained enough information for me to work out how to connect a broken Atari video game joystick to the parallel port, and how to read it by peeking memory from Basic...

If you already need more than you have, selling what you have is typically only done by mistake. Its the places that can make more than they need that are selling them.
Yes, I'm familiar with the license.

The question was about your claim that it was already licensed under it. Apparently it's not, but you're "working on it". Umm, okay.
"This is yet more propaganda."

Exactly who am I propagandizing? Doctors?

"You wearing a mask is not taking anything away from anyone."

We have a mask shortage in hospitals. You are literally taking masks from people who need them more.

"It is rational protection."

For the medical professionals who need them, yes. For you, it's overkill.

"Many people have (non medical, but N95 or similar) masks sitting in their garage."

They should be donating those to hospitals, ASAP.

*"The best way to protect that healthcare worker is not to give them a mask, it's not to expose them in the first place."

The best way to protect health care workers who do not have masks, today, is to give them masks. The second best way is to stay home. The third best way is to wash your hands. The fourth best way is to not touch your face.

Way, way down the list is "wear a mask", and like the guidelines say, not a medical one.
Hospital in Naples, Italy, avoids coronavirus infection by staff
I got a call from Wells Fargo telling me that they had identified a fraud on my account. Fair enough, I was about to call them to tell them that they cashed a check against my account that was written for a different name. This was entirely their own doing, essentially. Then, they ask me to verify my information before starting the process of fixing this and creating a new account number.

“With all due respect, you called me. How do I verify you?”

“Well you have to answer the question otherwise we can’t fix this over the phone.”

“OK that’s fine, just give me some way to contact you when I call the main number.”

“No, there’s no way to do that. If your don’t answer these questions now, you’ll have to go to a branch.”

This was entirely surprising to them. In the end I had to go to an office and show my forms of ID, which I found amusing because they didn’t even bother to verify that the name on the check matched the account. But anyway. This bank, at least, is not yet on board with good security practices.
The US has ten times the population and ten times the economy. Canada would have ten times the pain if it decided to get into an economic war with the US and would still not get the masks it wants. The US however does have plenty of pulp production that can be diverted into whatever use is most important at the moment.

This should be a wake up call to Canada to stop being so dependent on exporting commodities. It's been this way for my entire life and has been a constant complaint in Canadian economic circles but for some reason Canada doesn't seem to want to diversify. Maybe this will change that attitude.

Wasn't it just two weeks ago they said healthy people don't need to wear a mask as its useless to them? The sudden about face.

I know the reason was the shortage of masks, but it really damages their credibility. I think it would have been better if they said "masks help some, but we need them for health care workers go make your own for yourself".
It is also not their call or place to be worrying about international foreign policy/trade implications. That is explicitly the Federal Government's purview. Given the invocation of the DPA, which they may challenge in court if they wish; but as everyone is so fond of saying when the law appears to be on their side, "The law is the law." I don't see the courts even flinching on this point either. The President gave the order, the order is lawful. Just because you think it's a bad idea (and I sympathize), doesn't mean you just get to ignore it. Then again, I love me some Civil Disobedience (though now is really not the best time for it).

Alternatively we can throw in the towel on the whole "nation of laws, not men" thing, and just let companies do what they want, but I'd rather not live in that cyberpunk dystopia waiting to happen.

Though the irony of the moment does strike me as humorous. The overall credibility of the Federal apparatus is at such an all time low, we've got multi-nationals doing foreign policymaking for them.

I don't know whether to laugh or weep.
Your belief does not reflect reality. 10% of households own 84% of equities owned by households [1]. This is actually a rosy estimate, because the denominator is "equities owned by households". Extremely wealthy households shield their assets in trusts and pooled investment vehicles that are not reflected in this figure. As we know, the distribution wealth follows a power law despite the distribution of human endowments following a Gaussian.

> If NY thinks it's a joke, and it isn't being useful by being there, then NY should be calling for it to be sent somewhere else.

It's not the state of New York ("NY"), it's New York hospital executives. Why should they send it somewhere else when the situation can be improved? The Navy must have agreed with the assessment, since they have changed their process.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/nyregion/coronavirus-ny-u...

Emphasis mine:

“The secretary of defense is making a risk assessment to determine whether or not we should take on” patients who have tested positive, General Milley told Fox News.

His comments came after New York hospital executives complained Thursday that the Comfort was sitting in New York Harbor largely empty while hospitals in the city were overrun.

By late Thursday, only 20 patients had been transferred to the Comfort, even as New York hospitals struggled to find space for thousands infected with the coronavirus.

Earlier Friday, the Navy announced it would streamline the admission process for patients at the Comfort. Going forward, patients will be evaluated at the Comfort’s dock rather than at city hospitals, and they will no longer have to test negative for the coronavirus before being admitted.
Maybe not. Hope you're right.

I’m literally one of those people who “knows what they’re doing”. This is the problem with discussing ECB on an online forum. There’s no space to have a nuanced discussion without people cargo culting “ECB bad” over every comment.

Yes, ECB is almost always the wrong choice. Yes, there are other ways it’s going to fail in this use case. Yes, compression before encryption itself often enables other attacks. No, I should not have to prefix a comment about ECB with this type of disclaimer when I’m making (what should be) an uncontroversial statement that the tux attack doesn’t directly apply to compressed image data.

Ironically, when designing a protocol for my company, one of the reasons we didn’t use ECB when it would have been entirely justified (each chunk of data was precisely one block in size and keys were only ever used once) was because of potential backlash from people who only know “ECB bad” and nothing more.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for doing these. If someone is on an H1B visa and is in their last year with less than 10 months remaining with no I-140, what options do they have if they aren't able to get their I-140 approved by the end of their H1.
How do they enforce these things? I'm sure if you do something silly like show up in the company's payroll you'll suffer consequences but this rule is pretty nuanced.
Well, for example, they have no interest in doing even the bare minimum support necessary to bring it to a mass audience.

US Weekly Initial Jobless Claims

> A $7M villa, on the other hand, would be only ~230 years of labor for a US solider paid $30k a year.

Your parent comment says that, adjusted to modern villa prices, Diocles' entire wealth -- 35 million sestercii, enough to buy 12 standard seaside villas -- would amount to $7M. This would put the price of one villa at only $600,000, or 20 years' labor at $30k / year.
That is corporate speak for if you don’t allow 3M to export from The US to Canada then next time those 10M masks aren’t coming from 3M China to the US but 3M China direct to 3M Canada.

Anyway there is a lot more information available as to what’s going on with Canadian orders and 3M Canada. Put it this way Canada has ordered 65M and 3M Canada and Canada both refuse to say how many 3M is providing in that order.
