Regarding the newsletter/youtube subscription thing: I run a paid service https://kopi.cloud that can do email-to-rss conversion. You give the newsletter or youtube account an address like youtube@weinzierl.kopi.cloud and it will then publish emails received at that address as an RSS feed you can subscribe to.

Some RSS readers are beginning to support this functionality too (Inoreader just started doing this, but you need to be subscribed to one of the higher tiers to get the feature).
To play devils advocate, cells use RNA and DNA so an alien virus that uses a different type of genetic material would likely be unable to reproduce in cells that use such a strikingly different biochemistry. Detecting such viruses would be incredibly difficult especially since our biotech is focused on DNA and RNA.

You say that with great confidence and a lack of sources; and I'm guessing we are equally ignorant on the actual physics of how small droplets move.

The details aren't clear on how the virus is spreading. The virus might have multiple modes of transmission. Closing 2 of them reliably a great deal. There are important things to do with "catching COVID" that aren't binary; starting doses likely matter as well.

I'd rather not talk to you in person if you aren't going to cover your face, tyvm :)
Just join the chats from your server, they will exist on both matrix.org and your server. Then you may leave with your old matrix.org account.

As for history, you could just import your key backup, if the room history is set to visible. Truly decentralized accounts will likely come at a later point, especially with all the work surrounding p2p matrix, where each p2p client is a server.
Yep, this isn't fraud; it's just breach of contract.
I've thought for a while that there should be an age limit for the President and also the top positions of the house and Senate. Anecdotally lot of people seem opposed to that. However I read that Jimmy Carter believes the same.

What pisses me off is the Democratic party pushing the line that not being 100% behind Clinton meant you were a misogynist. And then 4 years later they throw Harris and Warren under to the bus to support Biden. Not nice.

But yeah, the Democratic Leadership is _old_.
Apple's IT is fairly hands-off.
But why shouldn't software developers also be engineers? Surely the difference isn't just a professional organization and accreditation.
You seem confused. This is a complicated topic. That CDC says sterilizing masks is not a safe practice, but in a crisis it's better than having no mask.
The general public includes about a hundred thousand people whose job puts them in touch with everyone: mostly checkout clerks.

They are at great risk for infection and for being vectors of infection, and are performing an essential service.

These face masks are a great piece of technology for them: effective, reusable, and comfortable enough to wear for a full shift.
It's an old idea really, or a collection of old ideas with a NN twist. Not really clear how much that latter bit brings to the table but interesting to think about.

The "dictionary" approach was roughly what vector quantization was all about. The idea of turning lossy encoders into lossless by also encoding the error is a old one too, but somewhat derailed by focus on embedable codecs with an ideal of each additional bit read will improve your estimate.

I think the potentially novelty here is really in the unfortunately-named-but-too-late-now super-resolution aspects. You could do the same sort of thing ages ago with say IFS projection, or wavelet (and related) trees, or VQ dictionaries with a resolution bump, but they were limited by the training a bit (although this approach might have some overtraining issues that make it worse for particular applications.

Calling this a blacklist is misleading. It's not a blacklist because it doesn't prevent anyone from extending credit to any reported person, as far as I can tell.
Contracts that "hide" things in them tend to get invalidated by the court if you refuse to pay.

Maybe they should ask the investors for the money... Or give the ticket holders stock in the company.

I'm tired of corporations doing this, and people making excuses for them. It's all about the free market when they're raking in money and paying off investors, but the second they run into any problem that costs them money they want another bail out or for the government to change the rules in their favor.
Again, this is just my anecdotal view based on only 5 years in the US. We (Canada) have equal rights and so i always found it odd how often i was told about "Free speech" but couldnt see anything different in the US vs Canada.

we do have "hate laws" here, and you see others commenting and outlining how this is a "restriction" on free speech, but if you look at the law, you will see the US has something similiar as well:

> Its a email server I am writing myself to eventually use. I know mail-in-a-box exists but another solution providing a easy to setup reliable mail box should be useful.

Do you plan to open-source it? I have to agree that last time I looked into setting up my own email server, the setup procedure of pre-existing servers is what drove me away.
It's almost like microservices make sense when they make sense, and macroservices (or, as I like to call them, services) make sense when they make sense, and it's our job as professionals to make those calls.

Nah...we should just pick one and laugh at everyone who doesnt make the same choice until 3 years later we pick the other and then laugh at everyone who hasnt refactored and switched as well.
Assuming the GP has equally zero knowledge of both, it would be better to start with WPF.
You make it sound like this was excess money. In fact it was cash flow freed up by leveraging the entire company and loading it up with debt, a ponzi game they were playing with the feds where the feds made the low interest loans happen and the airlines bought back stocks to bring about the desired market bull run. And the executives got paid, seeing how stock (and stock performance) is a big part of their renumeration.
Unless it's overfit on some particular inputs, but if so-- it's bad science.

Ideally they would have trained the network on a non-overlapping collection of images from their testing but if they did that I don't see it mentioned in the paper.

The model is only 15.72 MiB (after compression with xz), so it would amortize pretty quickly... even if it was trained on the input it looks like it still may be pretty competitive at a fairly modest collection size.
That's a great way to put themselves out of business. If they don't want to play a fair game, you can well be assured that people will stop using their products as much as they could be.

If there was real airline competition, sure. But there aren't a half dozen airlines flying between most cities. There are two, if you're lucky. Or one for the majority of city pairs in the United States.
Definitely useful for research. "What if the .NET CLR could do X" can be answered more quickly with code like this. I wonder if this could support something like runtime macros. Maybe you can do that anyway using Roslyn.

Today I found out Crystal was a language that I didn't know existed until now, however one thing I couldn't work out about Crystal was a simple outline of its intended reason for existence/purpose?

i.e. You should consider Crystal instead of Ruby/lang-other for xxx because yyyy... or is this someone attempting to write a new language simply because they want to have what they think is 'the right thing' (which is perfectly acceptable, but not clear if this is the only reason).

I guessed it was inspired by Ruby from the syntax, but aside from not having too many variations of do..while, I couldn't easily discern what its intended reason for being is.

(I kind of got the comment about the best thing about it is there is no Rails for Crystal).

I did poke around quite a bit and it's not in the FAQ, so it probably should be.
We are talking about publicly traded companies here. You can always participate in the buyback: just sell your shares, they're publicly traded, so there should be no difficulty. It doesn't matter much who's on the other side of your trade, as the arbitrageurs will ensure that the buyback is priced into the spot price.

We should make them refund above how much they charged as a fee to them.

It's kind of funny when the shoe is on the other foot. They're upset when they're required to follow the law. They want to sell nothing but refundable tickets which they can oversell, but the minute they can't meet their obligation they're crying to the government.
To me the real question is whether any particular virus lineage evolved independently, or started out as an organelle or other apparatus of a cell, and got loose.

I doubt we will ever know, about most viruses, because they evolve so fast. But it would be seriously cool to find a bacterium using them for communication or as an extra-cellular library.

We already know about plasmids, of course, and there are plasmid viruses that dispense with the protein wrapping. But do any bacteria communicate, or store information in the environment, via non-viral genes wrapped in a viral protein coat? Would we notice if they did?

We still would not know whether the bacteria co-opted a virus, or developed the mechanism by itself. Indeed, it could be that the original developer of, say, those mosquito-shaped phages was wiped out when they went rogue.

You're not alone, I had a mostly-broken left command key for the better part of a year so I despise the butterfly keys.

Nonetheless, when I switched to a 16 inch it felt mushy and weird, and that's with almost a decade using the previous scissor keyboards, which feel effectively identical.

I got used to it pretty quick though, and you couldn't pay me to go back.
Lets not forget that they've been devaluing and increasing the price of the product/service. Yes the costs are cheaper but compared to what it used to be you're getting much less for your money.
I definitely agree if you compare it to MS Edge. However, it appears you are being downvoted for disagreeing with the Mozillian crowd in this thread by critiquing their beloved Firefox which is somewhat seen as treasonous.

Try to play nice with the Mozillians here by praising their saviour Rust on each Firefox release since they will hunt us down if we complain about crashes, unsafety or any other bugs in Linux.

Nobody is advocating for a face-shield as a replacement for an N-95 mask, but using them together, would reduce the odds of infection.

According to the MIT paper, a typical sneeze will travel over 20 feet.

Additionally, there is mention of the velocity of the particles may be able to penetrate the mask, so a face-shield could help with that, too.
I am not a lawyer, but I highly doubt it, if all you've done is create an account. There is no mention of the arbitration clause in the account signup, so you literally can't agree to it during the signup.

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Wayland, if you want to see whether you're using the Wayland version of Firefox, go to about:support and look next to "Window Protocol". Wayland can be enabled at runtime using an environment variable: `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox`.

I just updated to Firefox 75 and it's still using x11. If I opt in to using Wayland, it works, but annoyingly I can't detach a tab by dragging it off of the window. So it looks like Wayland support is not quite there yet.

Your response has little to do with the post. The FCC is a government agency, correct? so when it issues fines for "free speech"...

"Between 1990 and 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued fines totalling $2.5 million to radio licensees for airing material it deemed indecent from The Howard Stern Show, the highest amount of any American radio show. "

"On April 8, 2004, Clear Channel was fined $27,500 for each of the 18 violations for a combined $495,000 NAL for airing the broadcast on its six stations that carried Stern"
I've got 2 things to say:

1) There is no "good design". It is always a compromise of trying to satisfy various practical constraints. OLAP vs OLTP probably rings a bell here. And this Last / First name thing is laughable. The complexity of handling all possible human names can be insane. Depending on the goal the proper design can be anything starting from single field and up to some relational structure.

2) The article itself looks like let's just write something up to score some points.
I mean, companies shouldn't be doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts, since they have a duty to shareholders to maximize the long-term value of the business. Of course, helping people and helping yourself are often aligned.
> Keeping a server running 24x7 is the challenge for me as far as email is concern. What happens when your server is down and someone mails you?

I imagine that if the client or an MTA can't connect to an SMTP server, then the mail would stay in an outbox queue until it is able to connect and hand it off. I don't think mail is permanently lost if an SMTP server goes down for a few hours. If an intermediary MTA gives up on connecting to an SMTP server, I would at least expect it to bounce the email back to the sender with an explanation.

I don't think email is as fragile as you seem to think.
This is an inconvenient fact because most HNers tend to be wealthy or upper-middle class, first-world and myopic to their limited filter bubbles... and so utopian anarcho-capitalism and Austrian school economics seems meritocratic, functional, justified and superior to everything else.

> No, but you need to give permission for anyone to run a credit check on you.

Whether that is true will depend on your jurisdiction. In the U.S. at least, it is not true. In the U.S., a consumer report needs to be for a permissible purpose, but it does not always require explicit permission of the consumer. See 15 U.S. Code § 1681b, https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1681b.
I used the multitargetting approach over the last year to convert most of my code to .NET Standard (about 50KLOC). The latest .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Core 3.1 make it pretty easy. MS' previous attempts at multiplatforming were hit or miss, but they really seem to have finally gotten it right.

Part of what has made it so much easier is the new "SDK Style Project File Format". It makes manually editing the csproj file mostly easier than using the VS editor for the vast majority of tasks. Which, for better or worse, is necessary to get some of the latest features. Got example, you can enable most of the latest C# 8 features for .NET Framework (which officially is stuck at C# 7.2).

That's a much different and much narrower instance of giving up one's rights. In the case of the riding academy, the consumer can still go to court and argue that an injury was caused by negligence on the part of the business and get the waiver invalidated. Taking a company to court over a contract dispute when there's an arbitration clause involved is most likely to get the case dismissed in favor of arbitration. Arbitrators have no real requirement to actually follow any laws, and rarely do they allow any appeal, so you're essentially at the whim of the arbitrator.
It does dynamically allocate, though it always checks for success. It could be refactored not to but so far we haven't targeted devices small enough to worry about a megabyte or two of RAM. There are also checks in place to guard against memory exhaustion attacks where applicable.

> But once dedicated manufacturing comes online, that capability is going to be quickly become irrelevant.

You're right, but after this emergency all those production lines will be retooled to things that are more profitable.

The upside is that this pandemic has basically created a grass roots production network to fill gaps that will always exist in traditional manufacturing.

If the next world-wide issue can be at least partially mitigated by small plastic parts, that gap will again be filled by 3d printers, and we're all better off for it.
You need to understand that when people have problems with landlords, they do NOT have a problem with the SERVICE part of what they offer.

They have a problem of it being used as an investment, rather a job.

No one is suggesting that someone putting all the time and effort to get a building built shouldn't get paid for the time they've spent doing that. But that's where that payment stops, when they've gotten paid for the hours they spent working on that.

When housing becomes service AND monopoly, that is where the issue is. Land ownership is problematic, and profiting off of a state backed monopoly is even worse.

Yeah, absolutely. I've worked on some incredibly poorly performing Go services. The idea that a team struggling to deliver on a roadmap and keep up application performance while using a high level language like Ruby will magically be able to do it while using a lower level language is just a complete fallacy. It never happens!

People get bogged down. They don't write low allocation code. Nobody has any time to turn on the compiler warnings for escape analysis. Your benchmarks end up a year out of date and don't even run anymore. Architecture becomes an afterthought. Function/method calls end up becoming even slower gRPC calls as the team struggles to box up complexity and extracts more services.

There's nothing shitty about the CRuby bytecode VM. It's all a question of resourcing. You're doing a huge disservice to all the people who worked very hard to make CRuby 2.7 5-15x faster than 1.8 and it detracts from a valid discussion about reducing the CO2 footprint of datacenters around the world.

You split into rgb and b/w, turn the pictures into blurred vector graphics. Generate and use an incredibly large spectrum of compression formulas made up of separable approaches that each are sorted in such a way that one can dial into the most movie-like result.

3d models for the top million famous actors and 10 seconds of speech then deepfake to infinite resolution.

Speech to text with plot analysis since most movies are pretty much the same.

Sure, it wont be lossless but replacing a few unknown actors with famous ones and having a few accidental happy endings seems entirely reasonable.
So far I've spent my career in small teams / startups and it's starting to become apparent that a lot of what's assumed in these titles only applies in larger corporations where resources are abundant and it makes business sense to have a specialist focused on a single aspect.

Unfortunately I'm at a point where I have 'jack of all trades master of none' syndrome and it's causing me to fall in between the cracks professionally. I'd like to move to a larger company where I can develop deep expertise in a narrow topic.
