Tylenol is an odd choice of example here given that it poses a risk of liver damage and for some subsets of the population it's actively dangerous to take it. We literally lace some drugs with Tylenol to make them "abuse-deterrent" because we know taking too much of it would harm you.
This looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

I assist a small drop ship supplier listing their product in Home Depot. Their item management system is absolutely the pits, and requires the use of awful protected excel worksheets in order to get mass data in and out of the system. All the product syndication systems that they recommend are obnoxiously expensive for the amount of SKUs we need to maintain due to product variants.

Overstock & Wayfair are way easier to work with by comparison.

The "reform" is to clog the system with a huge number of cases? I don't see the benefit here. A better solution would be for the American Arbitration Association to have a special system for class actions like government courts do.
My personal morals find a difference between “we sell physical goods and anyone can buy them without restriction” and “we will build you a whole set of dedicated custom data centers with racist hiring policies”.

Also, Apple doesn’t sell OSes. One could buy secondhand Macs.

Linux is used by the military, too. The issue is not “not matching”, it is a question of providing financial support to those who deliberately assist in the undertaking of violence.

Selling (or giving away) your goods to all comers isn’t that. Custom services and consulting absolutely is.

There’s also that whole Apple tapping-iCloud-in-China-for-the-CCP thing. I don’t think I’ll be on iOS much longer, especially now that Signal is fully cross-platform and runs on iPad. I’ve already deprecated iMessage amongst everyone I talk to in anticipation of the switch. Hell, I’ve even been on broadcast radio talking about how iCloud will leak your private data.

I think it’s a mistake to view the attitude of Apple toward military contracting (not just sales) as the same as that of Microsoft or Amazon. If when Apple employs hundreds of people who are full-time embedded in the military to help them use their products, maybe that situation will change.

To your point, I have moved off of GitHub, and have encouraged others to do the same:

The worst thing we could do is assume that every choice is the same and carries the same negative consequences and act uncritically. In that vein, I appreciate your pushback: critical thinking about our choices should be the one constant. There is always a place we can improve.

There's a difference between getting into 2nd degree minutiae like the effectiveness of masks, seasonality, and other factors, and then there's plain and outright denial of established facts about the class of virus this was as the news of the situation in Wuhan began to circulate.

The most effective measures we have taken - social distancing, washing hands, closing schools, WFH - are the ones that were know to be effective over two decades ago, to the surprise of no one who kept tabs on the topic.

Mask wearing is, as of now, still a hotly disputed topic.

> Those ad agencies aren't stupid; they have metrics for their metrics and have tracking that can tell you to the second when your gut bacteria burps ...

Stupid they aren't, but I don't think they're smart in the way they are.

Ad attribution is a hard problem. Or, in other words, it's hard to estimate which $ spent on which advertising activities generated how many $ of profit where. That gap is a huge opportunity to scam the product vendor out of their money.

So the ad agency has a metric for their metric, and their reports overflow with numbers and various charts shaped like food or aquatic mammals. But does that mean anything at all? It might not. Statistics is hard, and as long as the vendor isn't better at it than the agency, money can be made. I used to work next desk to a group of content marketers who had no fucking clue about what their numbers mean, but their customers didn't have a clue either, so they happily paid money in exchange for reports that showed the Facebook campaigns "worked".

Now advertising industry is large, and by definition filled with companies that aren't a paragon of virtue and honesty. These companies specialize, providing building blocks and platforms for each other, and they compete internally. It's not like people building tools for lies and manipulation are suddenly honest when dealing with their in-industry customers and competitors. After all, convincing advertisers that your A/B testing package is worth the money requires... well, advertising.

So my personal view on the industry is that it's mostly self-reinforcing bullshit. Doesn't change the fact that it generates stupid amounts of money, though.
I have not seen any co-occurence statistics. As both lupus and rheumatoid arthritis are at about 1% (each), and many of them are taking HCQ, then if HCQ works[0] I would expect much fewer of them to be diagnosed with SARS-Cov-2 in the first place. This is something that the CDC _should_ be able to track, and doesn't even require any ethically questionable trials.

[0] and somehow the Lupus/RA mechanics are not influencing disease progress, which is not a trivial assumption, but does not disqualify the thought experiment entirely.
Saying that arbitration agreements are signing away your rights is analogous to saying that joining a union means signing away your rights, because it often entails agreeing to only work at union jobs (you're "signing away your rights" to work for non-union employers). Yes, you're engaging in a contract that limits your options but you're not relinquishing any actual rights. Just like how a union can condition employment on agreeing not to work with other employers, a company can condition employment on agreeing to settle work related disputes through arbitration.
FWIW I'm told that decades ago latches were implemented as a tristate driver followed by an inverter or buffer. The source & drain cap, along with gate & wire cap, acted as the memory.

Totally agree! Although I'm one of the contributors to that repo as well, the sheer number of possible attack vectors on the JWT scheme means that I was reluctant to use it in a publicly-facing use case. Let me know how it goes!

I'm glad you brought Tom Cotton up here. He was one of the few individuals who was able to ask the right questions at the right time. And yet, when he did that, all kinds of mainstream media including WaPo came out saying he was repeating a "coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked".

that's impressively smooth. I was expecting it to be yet still impressed.
What’s an open source VLSI fab?
I reckon people might be copying the trend of giving nondescript names to particular software/services. Which isn't bad per se (I mean there's only so many ways you can rephrase 'webserver' before you run out of options), but if you split up your organisation and do the same thing to each subpart then it gets confusing.
Imho this is such an important feature that i don't understand why it's not more common. And even for Zoom and jit.si, the button is hidden in a submenu on mobile.

What would be even better is allowing the meeting chair to simply unmute a single person and mute everyone else to ensure some order.
> I'm not sure how the ad market even goes around

The ad market's business isn't delivering right ads to you, it's convincing people paying for those ads to part with their money. It doesn't have to work well, as long as it works a bit, and there isn't any better alternative around.
I did not state that it never happens. I'm aware how TCP works. It's dangerous because game becomes unplayable.

My point is, packets do not drop regularly for me. It's an exception rather than a rule. Spending a significant amount of traffic for error correcting codes which won't be used is a waste. Proper network stack should not enable this mode until actual packet drops are observed and should disable this mode if packets stop dropping. If a lot of packets are dropping, it might be worth to put even more error correcting codes, to be able to recover from two dropped packets, and so on.

The moment when Google turned to the dark side was in 2005-2006, when they stopped sponsoring the "Web Spam Squashing Summit" and started sponsoring SEO conventions.

"There's going to be a Web Spam Squashing Summit next week: Thursday, Feb 24th. (2005). Technorati is organizing the event (thanks guys!) and we're hosting it on-site at Yahoo in Sunnyvale. The main goal to get the tool makers in a room together to talk about web spam, share info, and brainstorm. So far AOL, Google, MSG, Six Apart, Technorati, and Yahoo are on board. I hope we'll also have representation from Feedster, WordPress (hi Matt), and Ask Jeeves and/or Bloglines too."[1]

The next year, in 2006, Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, addressed the Search Engine Strategies conference.[2]

"The search advertising market – a tremendous credit to you and to the organization that built this conference..."

And that's when Google turned evil. From trying to stop search spam, to promoting it.

Thanks for sharing this, not easy to admit. In retrospect what would you have done differently though?
Yes, they did (along with, in many cases, considerable external aid from other NGOs, etc). However, from a height, it looks somewhat similar to how China's response to Wuhan prevented catastrophe... It didn't fully prevent it, but that was hard to know two months ago for most of the talking heads PG was calling out.
4 samples of four people. Huge error bars eh?

I didn’t see any mention of how long they waited between samples or how they otherwise cleared air between samples. They are talking about aerosols, not droplets, so that matters.
I'm pretty sure if you call the credit card company and do a chargeback they'll side with you on this.

But it's still being given, so I'm certain there are other doctors still holding out hope.
Various doctors have been using chloroquine with high dose zinc. One idea is that chloroquine is simply a zinc ionophore, and its other effects aren't so relevant. Zinc has a long history of being recognized as an important nutrient for the immune system.

It's not obvious how to do that
Part of it might be that many developers target linux but code on a mac... and on a mac, docker containers DO run in a VM.
A bit of both obviously, but is this more “how our mind works” or “how our mind works while running the software loaded into it since birth”? (Where the range of easily available software options is surprisingly non-diverse in practice.)
How much of an improvement is it? I was considering getting "the original baking steel" for crispier crusts but wasn't sure if it was worth ~$80 for a hunk of metal. Is it significantly crispier crust than a regular old oven rack (which really isn't very crispy at all)?

Unlike us, fishes have continuous growing. And also unlike us, they do not use sugars. Its main source of energy is fat, that they store either in the whole body or in the liver. Sharks belong to the second group (something than was basic for the development of precision machines and robotics in fact).

Being cold blooded species, fishes rely on the water temperature to warm itselves. When the temperature decreases under the viable range for its enzimatic gut activity, they stop eating, get sluggish and enter in "saving energy mode" until the circumstances got favourable again (instead to spend valuable resources chasing preys that they can't digest anymore).

In a long migration through open sea they will cross extensive low-density preys areas and the result is similar.

If the fat reserves eventually get depleted the fishes need to resort to its second and last source of energy: Proteins.

They start burning muscle, recycling its proteins as fat and burning this fat. Fishes do this routinely when needed and can "de-grow" to some extent, shrink and recover quickly later. Sharks are particularly well adapted to alternate periods of feast and famine.

In case of emergency, we can burn proteins in a similar way, but, unlike us, the weigh of aquatic animals is supported by water in part, so its skeletons are also reduced. Our skeletons are always saved until the last minute (We need it more than fishes need theirs). And this is the part used in carbon-14 tests.

As proteins (like those in eye lenses) and fats are made of carbone, almost anything non indispensable in a fish body can be recycled and burn instead.

Eyes are not essential structures for deep-water sharks (can rely in olfactory, electric and water pressure receptors instead), so if in a hurry, they can assign less resources for their maintenance. The result is that the eye lense will grow slower and with a lighter (cheaper) structure, therefore you have a more transparent area. A feasting period instead means some extra calcium (or other matherials) assigned to the eye maintenance. This is what makes the structure "readable" as a series of bands alternatively opaque and hyaline.
The heart damage would be more meaningful in patients who have had clean EKGs prior to being diagnosed with covid-19. Here in the US covid symptoms are most likely causing a good number of adults to see a doctor after decades of no medical checkups or for for the first time.
There would maybe be more consistency. E.g. currently if I say an application is running in a container, do you expect there is virtual networking in place, or not?
That might work if the election was say, within the next 15 to 30 days. Trying to scam the general population into believing that an unproven drug is some kind of "magic" cure is an awfully bold and risky move 7 months from an election, especially before a potentially staggering number of deaths has been realized.

Ah, I see, ‘flu’ in the ‘broader sense’ of basically bloody anything.

Yes, I’ve got a touch of the bubonic plague today. Oh, I’m using ‘bubonic plague’ in the broader sense; I stubbed my toe.
There are numerous examples of people on both sides of the political spectrum comparing this virus to the flu and downplaying the severity, but then the switch was flipped.

At times I've believed that this virus was an absolutely terrible virus, and at other times I've believed that things were overblown.

I've read and seen interviews of more calm and rational experts and think that perhaps the original claims were more correct, or at least the response by governments are more damaging than the virus itself.

In the end this virus' run may end up not being worse or not much worse than a flu season of a certain level of severity as initially thought, but the future consequences on our rights and liberties by media induced panic and state authoritarian measures might be long lasting.

I really don't want to see certain people calling others fascists, nazis and communists in the future after seeing what they've supported during our current times.

A DB container may and should be stateless, but when configured correctly the volumes specific to the storage engine are persistent. I've been running production databases in Docker since 2014 without any data loss, it makes a lot of system-level administrative work much easier.

With a healthy understanding of how the individual storage engines commit to disk, upgrading, backing up, etc. can be done in parallel and without impact to a running production system thanks to the power of overlayfs.
I skip to print recipe straight away. The whole story is for SEO and I don't honestly think anyone ever reads it.
It is mitigated, but still an issue, IMO.
I think SEO mainly affects content which was already very low quality. Recipe blogs are a prime example - this is the worst way to get recipes. It is inferior to books and apps (which are more use in the kitchen), is poorly indexed, ephemeral (depending on the wordpress knowledge of the owner), lacks local context, and has none of the rigour and pragmatic advice of something like seriouseats. They deliberately use weird ingredients I find, perhaps to prevent you from falsifying the quality of the recipe and also to differentiate themselves from tried and trusted recipes (which is what most people want!). The instructions you get on the back of the flour packet are superior to recipe blogs, at least they should work for that type of flour.
I’m excited for Spain, to see how this pans out, but I’m also very afraid for them since this kind of thing tends to attract attacks from international capital and finance (they might withhold credit and demand that the policy be rescinded, or simply refuse to invest in Spanish businesses, etc). Or they might simply pour funding into the political enemies of whoever was most in favor of this policy. But there will definitely be some form of recrimination. They’ve nationalized their health industry too. At least they’re not seizing natural resources, that would probably prompt some kind of right wing coup.
Dr. Drew has apparently also gone on a copyright claim kick trying to remove the evidence [1]. He has a now-deleted Tweet [2] about people infringing on copyright.
