I think it's more that these would be a pretty involved overstep for regular people to be walking around in. Social distancing + hand washing + a homemade cloth mask is sufficient for regular people. For the same reasons that regular people don't need/shouldn't be wearing N95 masks everywhere, nor should these.

Also when I'm clicking something that looks like text field (what Awesome Bar looks after all), my primary intention is to type there something. Even if my my intention was to select some text and I expected it, I don't expect it to open extra drop down with "top pages" (like it now does): that's what buttons usually do and what the "⌵" button in Awesome Bar in previous version did. Now click does not one, not two, but three thinks simultaneously.

Is there some pref that tells Firefox to not show those suggested options immediately after URL bar text field's focus?
These face shields are intended as an alternative to eye protection that is in short supply. They do nothing for respiratory protection. Infection via the eyes is primarily a concern for people interacting closely with contagious patients (i.e. healthcare workers).

To answer your seemingly underlying question: no, if Apple gave you a face shield it doesn't mean you get to go outside.
Ten Things to Do Before Year End
Sansa Fuze + Rockbox are great and even better together! I even used to watch movies on mine on flights (before phones had giant screens and laptops had decent battery life) I still use mine for music since it's a convenient size and I don't have to worry about draining the battery on my phone. And unlike people trying to bring in mobile phones, I was also allowed to use it when I was selected for jury duty (while waiting for selection, of course!)
Hospitals are full of sick people because they didn't listen to all the other advice, like social distancing + handwashing + this isn't a vacation.

Yeah, JavaScript has problems but come on, just the fact that it has closures and first-class functions (and did a lot to popularize both, for that matter) makes it pretty cool in my book. It's a fun and powerful language.

The author also trots out the standard go-to argument of JavaScript haters. He writes that JavaScript "has deeply ingrained quirks and bugs which can never be fixed without breaking the millions of scripts that have made peace with the existence of those bugs and depend upon the well-known workaround" and he links to https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs, a typical list of JavaScript's well-known type-casting quirks, etc.

Pretty much all languages have little quirks. Actual JavaScript programmers usually learn how to avoid JavaScript's quirks pretty quickly and easily. In my experience, people who fixate on JavaScript's quirks generally do not understand the language very well. If they did, they could criticize more substantial things about JavaScript than just things like "[] == ![]; // -> true".

They're going to make a million face shields this week, and one million per week thereafter, with the intention to produce them above US demand levels to help other nations. I'd say it qualifies as a lot more than looking like they're helping.

Face shields are to protect against body fluid splatter during invasive bodily procedures and while closely treating patients with explosive coughing fits. Even doctors in hospitals treating Covid-19 patients don't wear them outside those types of circumstances. There is no need for the general public to wear them. It's not like fitting your car with a seat belt, it's like fitting it with an ejector seat.

Pretty sure that would be impossible, unless I am missing something.
I don't know if you are aware, but in the healthcare world there is an expected difference between, for instance, a surgical mask used in operating rooms, and face shields used in facilities for procedures like intubation.

This is intended to be a face shield. I'm sure Apple could make surgical masks? But that's not the most acute supply need at the moment.

As a data dude in public/nonprofit healthcare-landia I agree with all this, plus:

- It's essential to have/develop domain expertise in your industry.

- Beware plausible, but incorrect (or poorly interpreted) data that supports yours (or others') assumptions/biases.

- Add on to #4 - at least as bad as this is having well-intentioned people on your team who "know enough (a bit of SQL or low/no-code data tool") to be dangerous. Um, why are you joining unnecessary tables, or using a different alias for the same columns/tables in different queries, with no comments or standard formatting?

- Hold your nose, but anything you do in SQL/R/Python/even fancier programming tool/language is going to pass through MS Excel at least once sooner or later which can irreversibly bastardize CSVs (even just opening without saving!), truncate precision to 15 digits, change data types, etc.

- So glad for the callout in #7 - there are clearly devs/data folks out there who are happy to take on an "interesting programming project at a great paying job" - that isn't serving the best interests of humanity.

The Czech 3D Printer company Prusa has been on it for a while: https://www.prusa3d.com/covid19/ and they have been open-sourcing the design. You can print it on a 3D printer.

Based on that design (and others) makers in Germany have started organizing, so that people can either request shields or supply shields. Organized on Slack and into local distribution hubs. We hace started sharing supplies and even got discounts from filament vendors: https://www.makervsvirus.org/en/

Edit: Just wanted to share something related and not downplay Apple with this comment. Would love if they'd opensource their designs ;)
If no one is going outside, how are there any new cases? Lots of people are "essential workers", they go to the grocery store, the pharmacy, etc.

Yes, HCW exposure is much greater than the average person, but your argument is essentially: Since you aren't driving in a Formula 1 race where the risk of crashing is higher, there's no need to wear a seatbelt.

When we're seeing hundreds of deaths per year from COVID, I'll agree with you, but currently, HCW or no, COVID is one of the biggest threats to your life, and you'd be an idiot to go outside without the best protection you can get your hands on.

> it might be better than fill a unit with a tenant who has a 15% chance of not being able to pay rent

That's nowhere near the worst-case "bad tenant". The worst-case scenario takes months to evict and leaves behind tens of thousands of dollars of property damage. There might even be some personal harassment thrown in just for good measure. Avoiding such a tenant is absolutely worth missing some opportunities to fill the property with a paying tenant.

Not that missing rent this April 1 is likely to tell you much about that particular risk.
I guess but Ansible > Digital Ocean wouldn't have helped me get a local dev environment. For that I needed containers or a VM - and containers are a much lighter solution.

I literally wasted nearly a day and filled up my drive with compilation artifacts last time I tried getting GeoDjango working. All those binary dependencies, subtle OS config changes and custom Postgres extensions can be a pain.

So given my need for local deploy and remote deploy it's hard to think of a better solution.
Interesting read, but I didn't see anything constituting a proof that it is impossible to fix incentives.
When I am out and about, I assume that my fingers are contaminated. When I get to my car, I always do a cleanup down with an alchohol wipe and when I get home, do the ABC wash of my hands and face.

Still, wearing the mask is a constant reminder not to touch my face. some people will still ignore that reminder but not everyone is going to follow the rules 100%.

Whilst IANAL, in my legal dealings I have been consistently surprised by how weak a case a desparate party is willing to bring to court.
Sorry, but this probably wrong. Labels like "darker, sadder" are not inherent to the intervallic series of a particular mode. You could make some objective observation such as "there is more dissonace in the 3rd, 7th and 9th members of the harmonic series when comparing the notes that make up the major chord". But "darker, sadder" are emotional labels that are probably but not definitely socially constructed.

I had the experience once of seeing one of the greatest Indian vocalists of the 20th century live. The audience was almost entirely people of Indian ancestry, and clearly very experienced at listening to this sort of music - I was not. Indian music doesn't use harmonic relationships very much, but does have a much more clearly developed and articulated "theory of melody" in which specific intervals in an ascending or descending of a melody have particular meanings (within the context of a given raga (scale/mode)).

The audience would gasp out loud as he did certain ascents/descents. I kept looking at the person I went with (who had grown up listening to Indian classical music) and it was clear that to him the meaning of the note sequence was completely obvious. To me, there was no meaning at all.

As I mentioned, musicology research that I'm familiar with is still a bit ambiguous about this. It is possible that people from very different musical cultures might agree with your characterization of the intervals that make up aeolian as "darker, sadder", but I'm not aware of any definitive studies that show this clearly.
Mentioning the US slouching toward authoritarianism is "whataboutism", now?

Yeah, I had the same thought. For something as big as this? Should be at least 2 more zeros imo.
It’s interesting that this doesn’t include a top cover to prevent particulates from coming down from above the shield.

We are working with several major hospital groups and that is something they have asked for specifically. Actually they have requested we make modifications to the various open source designs to accommodate that.

The hospitals we are working with wouldn’t accept this design.

This is also why the NIH approved design incorporated a top cover: https://3dprint.nih.gov/discover/3dpx-013359

This was at great expense to efficiency of printing, but it was something that was required for approval.

I had a similar experience w/Apple. A startup I worked for was brought into Cupertino for a meeting w/their internal business teams. They wanted us to build them an app which seemed relatively simple involving their internal Cafe Mac cafeterias, data centers, and possibly retail locations. It was something that a company like Apple could build in their sleep. But the business folks we met with said that's how it is at Apple, all the engineering talent goes towards the product side and almost nothing is left for internal IT. They told us how they struggled to get anything done and there were almost no resources available, so the business teams had to go and hire their own IT if they needed things done.

If the argument is that civilians shouldn't wear N95 masks outside, but rather donate them to people who need them even more, fine.

However, if the argument is that you shouldn't wear a $1 mask, which provides substantial protection against COVID, because it's not necessary, I would refer you again to the 1000 people that died yesterday that didn't wear an N95 mask. The amount of mental gymnastics you have to do to hold this belief is frankly astonishing.

One of the basic parts of the author premise is just wrong:

Maybe asymptotically, but usually - not at all. Different hires have specialty skills which existing employees/collaborators simply don't, and would have taken extremely long, or forever, to do what the new person can achieve handily. Also, some tasks are simply better geared towards multiple people collaborating; simplest example: assembling large IKEA furniture...

> I don’t think it’s an echo chamber to tell both sides of a story.

But that was not OP's complain. The OP just feels strongly about an issue, and just because a publication known for publishing terse and non-in-depth but otherwise correct articles managed to not cover a detail the OP's feels strongly about... That doesn't mean it is biased, doesn't it?

In the end,if you think about it, the OP is just complaining that the publication doesn't share his personal bias, and the OP feels so strongly and is so adamant in pushing his personal world view that a single slip in a single article published in a single edition is interpreted as an offense so aggravating that he accuses the whole publication of not being trusted.

This alone says more about the accusers than the target of these baseless accusations.

The US is an extremely massive manufacturing nation. There are dozens of companies in the US that could mass produce these face shields. It's great that Apple moved quickly to do it, it's certainly in their wheelhouse to make happen.

These shields are easy to manufacture. They're ideal to rapidly produce, cheaply and at scale. Compared to normal shields in the industry they're no-frills, which is perfectly fine, as right now we just need volume.
