I'm not understanding why you're thinking scooters would disappear entirely. Here's what I'm seeing.

I'm in NYC. We don't have any scooter share companies, so the only scooters you see on the streets are privately owned. And I've seen an explosion of them over the past year. A lot more people are getting around using them, and I don't see why that would be affected one whit by the scooter share companies (which don't even operate here) shutting down. When those companies shut down, I'd just expect a lot of people who were formerly using them to switch to privately owned ones as well. That's the nice thing about these scooters; they're small and light enough that you can own your own even if you live in a tiny apartment.
How would you verify that people who search for these things actually have the virus? They could be doing preemptive research.

And how would you find a list of such questions without just broadly matching on terms like "coronavirus"? The task seems very complex to me.
"The camera is not disconnected in hardware, because its field of view is completely obstructed with the lid closed".

How long until someone realizes audio data can be extracted by from the noise generated by a camera in the dark?

I’ve heard similar anecdotes of a sales force arriving for a central meeting and similarly being allocated to one of two groups. The two groups were then directed to different meeting rooms; one group was given the bad news.
Given a pattern of movement it's trivially easy to identify an individual by cross referencing with other cheaply/freely available data sets.
Isn't it what they already do anyway?
That would still be a legal minefield, and rightfully so.
I trust google over facebook. (Which isnt really saying much)
And Azure DevOps Repo's.
When I knew nothing about databases, and was trying to read stuff on the web about those, it was very confusing trying to understand what the author talks about when he uses the term database, is it about a DBMS (software), or it’s about a database (data). So, yeah, it’s a problem, at least for beginners.
> Though, and correct me if I'm wrong, aren't they still extremely less stable than DNA viruses?

That's correct. Worse, the proofreader doesn't have to protect all parts equally...

> Which is why only short/medium term immunity is usually possible?

No. For some viruses active immunity just doesn't last particularly long for reasons we don't understand (or at least it was described as not understood in every paper I've seen on the subject). For some viruses you can be reinfected months later with exactly the same virus. This is the case for several cold causing viruses.
I'd like to add one more thing about postgesql : the source code is arguably the cleanest code you'll ever see. It's second to none.
You should definitely do a simple blood Antibody test once they’re available. It’s definitely worth a lot to know if you already had it or not
>Look at Ted Kaczynski

He went berserk, and started murdering people, because one day he went to his favorite, most remote, unsullied spot of nature that he could possibly find - a symbol of his ability to escape a toxic civilization - and found that it had been razed and there was now a logging road through it.

I don't think that example quite supports the point you were trying to make.
China proposes a new internet protocol that gives government ultimate control
You know what, this time I’m OK with that.

Obviously the preference would be this powers be rolled back, and realistically I say you’re overselling an otherwise valid point...

But other countries are showing it works to slow the spread in a meaningful way.

Here in NYC people are dying left and right. Hospitals are overwhelmed, people who code are being left for dead because they don’t have the resources to save them.

My mother who’s a nurse in CT had to be snuck proper PPE by a concerned coworker because their hospital is rationing it to unsafe levels, allowing healthcare workers to be exposed to confirmed COVID patients with insufficient protection.

I don’t care if they give us all ankle bracelets at this point, if we don’t act decisively now, millions will die.

This isn’t some shadow war with DOD telling us the terrorists will get us if we don’t break encryption.

The bodies are piling up in plain sight, we need to stop this by all means necessary.
The Origin of PHP
1) Is there a better fire-proofing alternative available, one that will work as well and be as cost-effective to deploy?

2) Are we talking about 1990 (when the public actually cared, legal torts were likely, and it was a huge hassle to sell a property that was known to have asbestos) or 1890 (when in spite of evidence that asbestos may pose a health risk, industry was full-speed-ahead on it because, hey, everything poses a health risk, and lung cancer was of lower concern to the public than dying in a fire)?
If encryption keys are stored in a country where the company is required, by law or by force, to turn them over to authorities upon request then that should be noted. And yes that includes the US to a lesser degree.

When people say 'the server with the encryption keys is physically located in China, and they have many Chinese employees', the subtext that we should all know at this point is that they're required by Chinese law to turn everything over to the authorities. We have hard evidence & beyond hard evidence of this, so it's kind of assumed that educated people are aware of this. And yes the same goes for say US telecom companies having legally mandated backdoors & the US government exploiting this to conduct unauthorized surveillance or even just purely commercial spying, it's well-documented, everyone should know this. So in the future someone can say 'this telecom company is US-based' and we can all understand the subtext.

So it's OK to just say 'the servers are in China' and we should all know what that means, at this point. TLDR- it's OK to have priors
PostgreSQL has track_io_timing and passing buffers will then include IO timing.

\set track_io_timing=on;

explain (analyze, verbose, buffers) your-query;

Additionally, it will also include things like times for triggers executed from the query.
SQL Server has a ternary. So your example would be written like:

Unsure what crosstabview is as I've never used it.

I hate sql server tho. Basic things like indexable arrays in postgresql make it amazing.

Totally agree about using relatime/noatime mount options and using tmpfs wherever it's sensible. But if you want to take control of your $HOME, it probably makes sense to mount it separately. Putting ~/.cache on tmpfs will lose thousands of useful cache files every time you reboot (hitting performance, but also causing more reads eg. to larger original files), possibly consume gigabytes of memory, and should IMHO be avoided. Getting paranoid about disk wear on a 2yo laptop is perhaps a bit exaggerated.

Talking about desktop Linux, I (and my family) and workplace colleagues all run Kubuntu systems on SSD's continuously since 2012 - that's 8 years of continuous disk wear and counting. We're talking about 3 laptops and 5 desktops, several of them mdadm RAID0 (on 2-3 disks), all Ext4, and NO swap partitions (warning, this may lead to occasional crashes due to OOM situations, though that's going to improve soon hopefully). Three of these systems are heavy usage workstations, 5 of them have one or more VMs running, all of these systems are backed up to external USB2/3 disks via Timeshift [0] since 2012 (VM disk images are backed up separately). A few critical directories are shared via cloud, which thus also acts as a backup tool. All disks are periodically health checked via smartmontools. This in my experience maximizes performance (thanks to Ext4 and RAID0), while keeping stuff safe (thanks to backups). IMHO desktop systems don't need the kind of online redundancy provided by other RAID levels, and restoring a full system (including grub, on an mdadm system) from a Timeshift snapshot, which I did multiple times already, has always been a breeze.

Among the ~10 SSD corruption events I witnessed in this decade, I could track ~half down to a failing PSU or a bad SATA cable, though I had a couple disks abruptly die too (one NVME M.2 drive probably had thermal issues). Still, IMHO none was caused by wear.

relevant smartctl output for one of my desktop SSDs:

9 Power_On_Hours_and_Msec 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 12726h
241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 623690
249 NAND_Writes_1GiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 23897

So, ~24 Tb written so far...

This is mind-blowing. Thanks for sharing, never thought I would read something like this.
you don't say. That way (and autostarting and nagging) you easily get a lot of popularity compared to a web-service (with most people being unaware of bookmarking features in their browser). That was the operating principle of a lot of crappy ad/malware companies back then this was still considered an ethical businessmodel. Seems we are seeing time repeat itself.
But they give no scientific arguments for that. They simply voice an ill-argued opinion that basically amounts to that they do not BELIEVE in IgM antibodies for Bb s.l., even though the test objectively does show them in a large number of people diagnosed and treated for Borreliosis.
You're right. Both availability of testing and how much the lock down is relaxed increase the need of this drastically. But those are both things that are likely to increase during the course of the year.

Any sort of DNA processing. There is a lot of research into concise data structures for a very specific set of operations for DNA processing since our ability to generate DNA data is accelerating much master than processing or memory speed.
I'm in the former camp. I'd pay $6-800 easily for a properly small, one-handed device that runs iOS. The fact that it's cheap is just a bonus for me.

The preview in Photopea is always rasterized (pixelated at a certain zoom). But you can increase the resolution in Image - Image Size.
I think that in most VTC platforms, the tendency is to favor quality/resolution for screen sharing and speed/FPS for camera sharing.

It sounds like your case is less common but the idea is that a video or camera feed can handle more compression (and subsequent drop in quality) as long as it isn't choppy or dropping out. Alternately, a slide or document may have small text which would quickly become unreadable if the compression is too high. To prevent that, you get high quality but only 5FPS or whatever so people can read your document or slide.

Slides and docs don't usually need high framerates so it would just be wasteful to try delivering a mostly static, high resolution, low compression 1920x1080 feed of a PowerPoint at 15 or 30 FPS.

There are ways around this (even on a consumer PC) such as using something like OBS to switch between sources like a webcam, a video clip, or a screen cap and feed them to a virtual webcam (which can be selected in your VTC software as the webcam input). Alternately, there are dedicated switchers and mixers but they're usually reserved for studios or in-facility installations.

But again...you may not like the results even so. The webcam feed often trades higher FPS for higher compression.
I'd assume he meant sharing scooters. I totally agree that these scooters can be a really nice way to get from A to B and if you actually own them, they're probably way cleaner than the alternatives (maybe except for cycling). But the sharing system has so many flaws, I'd assume its very unlikely that they'll survive this crisis.

- The scooters are subject to vandalism everywhere, this reduces their lifetime and makes them incredible expensive to maintain

- They are cluttering the sidewalks, rules are basically impossible to enforce

- They are driven recklessly by a lot of users. While there are technical solutions to this like geofencing and speed limits, they are not applied

Lots of people (at least here in Germany) don't like them at all. In major cities I've been to, basically all sharing scooters are used by tourists. While thats certainly a market, its nowhere near the mobility revolution they claim. Basically all of these companies are surviving on VC money, very few cities are actually profitable. Since tourism is completely gone and most people are on WFH, I doubt there are any users for these scooters right now. I think its unlikely that they'll be able to sustain their buisness if lockdown lasts more than a month.
Configuration parameter `track_io_timing = 'on'` will measure I/O time. And running `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` will output per plan node buffer statistics and I/O time spent. On most modern system IO timing has no measurable overhead and should be permanently enabled. Collecting buffer statistics is also relatively cheap and could be enabled for all queries. For example the following configuration will get a log entry with an explain plan and per node I/O stats for every query above a threshold:

shared_preload_libraries = 'auto_explain'
auto_explain.log_min_duration = '5s'
auto_explain.log_analyze = true
auto_explain.log_buffers = true
auto_explain.log_timing = false
Turing committed suicide to escape government persecution for being gay. That's not the same as a case like Grothendieck or Nash; it can't fairly be called paranoia when someone really is out to get you.
Again, thanks for the SPAM.

And you are wrong. RTP video cannot be sent that way because each receiver must also send back feedback to the sender. RTP protocol is more complex than just sending UDP packets everywhere.
My fantasy response would be to invert the company's 80/20 hours and let everyone who wants to stay on for 25% of their former hours and 40% of their former pay. Then only lay off people who didn't take that offer to make up the difference.

But having to actually lay hundreds of people off? TBH I'd probably outsource it to a group of specialists. I could see myself delivering bad news to a handful of people but that many... I'd be useless a few hours into the first day.

I recently installed linux on a MSI laptop that has a webcam function key switch. For some reason (could have been me), it was off and I just assumed that the camera wasn't working with linux, or that there was a hardware issue. I almost sent it back.
I never owned a laptop with that kind of switch before, so I wasn't looking for this, and the keyboard icon [1] looked like some kind of screen contrast button to me...

Try 1Password or maybe Bitwarden. I’ve only used the former, and I’ve also used LastPass.

LastPass is so awful that I’m not surprised the keychain is a better experience.

1Password is a huge breath of fresh air compared to LastPass and feels much more native.

Learning the keyboard shortcut to fill passwords is also key to your enjoyment (command backslash).

I still have a gaming PC on Windows and I wouldn’t rule out Linux or Android in the future as I think it’s important to evaluate all solutions available before making a purchase, so I think the idea of never having to migrate passwords is an important one. My own opinion, of course.

Turns out that this was my PhD thesis subject.

To put it simply two-level systems (TLS) are groups of atoms in a disordered solid that present two stable configurations, that is two physical states of similar potential energy separated by a small energy barrier. The barriers need to be small for it to be overcome by thermal fluctuation alone and thus for the TLS to resonate at a frequency close to the frequency of interest.

If you are interested by what exactly are these TLSs at the atomic level, have a look at this paper:

That has way too many false positives to be worth notifying potential contacts over.

You could have something where people who have it can say "I have it, please let others I was near know" but unless we get testing up dramatically that won't work either.
Both China and Italy had major outbreaks, which were controlled by imposing lockdowns. That's sufficient evidence.
The downsides are of different characters - lockdowns will have a bad but generally predictable downside in the field of economy, whereas not locking things down will have an unpredictable downside where lots of people - how many we do not know - die.

During the Great Depression, death rates went down, so it doesn't seem very substantiated to claim that lockdowns are going to kill people.

Yes, as I mentioned, if you include an incrementing counter within each block then the data does not repeat. The data only needs to be non-repeating within a single stream. Different streams will use a different IV and possibly different keys. This is how CTR works.
IBS is "clearly not" as it is a diagnosis based more on symptoms (many different) and there is no clear understanding of the cause behind it.

That could be, but it’s still far too low.

This is completely the right answer. Another factor to consider is that while there used to be a time when a tourist or business traveler might have needed to place (or receive) a POTS call for a local hotel or restaurant it is now possible to replace most of these interactions with web pages you can hit from your mobile device or messaging systems like WhatsApp or WeChat.

The flu season just past was unusually bad, even by comparison with e.g. 2017-18, which was itself no walk in the park.

It's not a safe bet for anyone to assume on that basis that they've already had the coronavirus and are now immune. Those bad flu-like symptoms were flu symptoms, and confer no immunity against SARS-CoV-2.
> Qatar, Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Brunei, Norway, UAE, Kuwait and Switzerland all have more GDP per capita (PPP) than the US yet spend less per capita on healthcare (PPP).

GDP per capita understates how rich the US is. A better measure is average individual consumption. Unfortunately I can’t find great figures on that but the only country/region with higher household consumption than the US is Hong Kong, with far smaller households[1].

Qatar, Brunei, Kuwait and Norway are petrostates. Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland and Switzerland all have oversized financial sectors and as such Gross National Product gives a more realistic measure of how rich they really are. Singapore and Switzerland it doesn’t change much but Ireland’s GNP is ~80% of GDP.

Also reminds me a of a story I had heard when I lived in a major city 15+ years ago. A major airline was laying off a bunch of staff. Called an all hands meeting and during the meeting pink slips were placed on peoples desks so they wouldn't know if they were on "the list" until they got back to their desk. Heard this from a friend so not sure how accurate it was.
Iced itself appears to be largely an API definition (and project to implement that API), there's currently two largely independent backends - iced_winit and iced_web. They provide their own widget structs, event loops, and so on.

There's therefore enough of an abstraction which could be used to get Iced to create Windows/Cocoa/GTK/Qt native widgets (in much the same way it currently creates VDOM elements for the web, thus getting some level of accessibility by default). Then Iced could provide additional a11y information to the backend by means of properties on the virtual objects.
