Agreed, some of the reasoning for extraterrestrial origins of viruses could also be explained by terrestrial processes. For example, the fact that new viruses are being added as quickly as old ones degrade and disappear doesn't necessarily mean alien viruses, but could also be reservoirs of ancient viruses being released into the environment or rapid mutation of existing viruses. Viruses having an extraterrestrial origin implies either RNA is spontaneously self-generating in the universe in large quantities, or somehow getting carried over across interstellar space from an alien ecosystem, and there's not a lot of evidence for either case. But given that viruses can survive intact for long periods of time since they don't have to perform biological processes (and maybe even longer underground away from degrading UV light) and the vast diversity of life that has lived and gone extinct on this planet, I'd be more inclined to think we're getting infected by Mammoth diseases rather than Alien diseases.

This theory is less convincing when you consider that viruses don't seem to share any common genetic ancestry with organisms living today, but they could share genetic ancestry with extinct organisms that didn't leave leave any living descendants with genetic mutation adding even more obfuscation to their origins.

There are 3 big problems with open APIs

1. they enable people to do things that other people think shouldn't be done

2. people get upset at companies when (1) happens

3. people get upset at companies for removing or restricting apis when, or in fear of, both (1) and (2).

Think of it like a squirt gun. If someone is spraying a squirt gun at you, a mask will protect you a bit, but it eventually will be saturated and you'll be wet. However, if you have a face shield, the water will just roll off.

Masks are better at protecting you from small particles. Using a face shield without a mask would do you absolutely no good when you're trying to protect yourself from an airborne pathogen or micro-droplets. When you breathe, you're going to draw in air from around the sides of the shield.

If you have a mask (N95), then you're breathing air in through the filtering fibers of the mask. This is what protects you.

Masks and face shields have two very different purposes.
Why wouldn't it be both?

Sounds like the solution for #2 is to make student loans dischargable and #1 to eliminate profit-seeking from university motivations. Capping foreign students sounds like a bandaid solution that wouldn't address the core problems and would make other things much worse (decline of rural communities, quality of American education system, America's influence, standing, and soft-power, plus reducing highly skilled immigration rate).
If it was essentially the same as putting the money in the bank then they should be able to use that stock to keep themselves going instead of getting a bailout. But that will not work because their stocks are down so much.
Well, you can at least appreciate the simplicity of a server just being a simple API that all of your clients use in the same way rather than the server having an API and then also generating the page for one specific idiosyncratic client that has this weird feature where you can serve layout to it.

Also, once you have any interactivity, there's a point where it's nicer when all of the application is in the domain of Javascript instead of only parts of it.

Server-side rendering has some nice upsides, but there are various trade-offs, good and bad, at play here.

Well, no, Force Majeure would give you an option to back out of your agreement with the preschool, including tuition.

My understanding is Force Majeure rescinds the contract for Act of God (natural disaster) or Government (human-caused disaster). No contract means deposits and pre-payments would also revert.

Only if you assume perfect liquidity and either 1) a constant or monotonically increasing stock price or else 2) a huge cash reserve such that selling stock at basement prices or taking out highly leveraged loans is never necessary.

If a company parks $1 in a treasury bond during good times, they have that $1 + approximately inflation in bad times.

If a company buys back their stock at $N and then has to sell a large amount of stock at $M for M << N (or take a leveraged loan), then the company is only getting fractions on the dollar of that original $1.

Unfortunately, the scenarios where huge companies really need cash now pretty well overlap with the scenarios where there are huge liquidity shocks and crashing equities prices. Such as a financial crisis or a pandemic.
>a tool for employers where they could track their employee's LinkedIn activity to determine whether an employee was actively looking for another job or likely to quit soon, allowing employers to preemptively fire employees that didn't have a future with the company

While I applaud you for taking the social/ethical value of your work into consideration, I have to wonder how this even seemed like a good idea in the first place?
Interesting idea. As a somewhat non-traditional CS student, I could definitely see this as a tool I would have turned to when I was starting out.

One of the most frustrating aspects of studying CS is that my professors would come up with problem sets and assignments on their own and their solution would require something not found in online resources. There were quite a few times where I could only find tangentially related information in very obscure places. Hopefully your service can address this issue effectively.

> Exactly. And the solution is architectural modularization--implementing a solution as multiple components that can each be independently verified and then integrated in a verifiable manner.

That doesn't matter. I mean, you might be able to prove some properties in this way just as you could in others, but it is not a "solution" by any means -- it might work in some cases for some properties with some barely acceptable scalability, and that's about it. The reason is that the cost of reasoning about n components is not even a computable function of n (the cost grows in the same way if you were trying to prove the property on a monolith). See the blog post I linked to for a result that proved this, and an example of a case where two components are easily analyzed yet their composition isn't.

The main direction in formal methods research to increase scalability in a viable way is to reduce soundness.

That's very naively materialist. Once you notice that, it becomes clear that the concepts mentioned are not "lies".

The passage may be trying to say something serious about those concepts not being universal, objective ones, but if it's intending to make a serious point it misses the mark.

But then again, it may not be intended to be taken seriously at all. Perhaps Pratchett assumed the weaknesses in this position would be obvious.

There was a remark in the old school Linear Algebra book we had in university (Edwards & Penney) that stuck with me, to the effect (probably I recall the details wrong) that one of the authors were once involved in data analysis of water samples collected from a bunch of rivers by 15 engineers, and it turned out no 6 of these engineers' measurements were internally consistent. The moral of the story was that real world data is messy, you need to learn least squares and related methods to make sense of the data.

Now with "data science" you've taken a step further, and instead of applying the math to lab reports on meticulously filled out forms, you're going to aggregate all the messy sources you can get your hands on. Of course your headaches will multiply.
The base is not enough. He needs more independents to vote for him than last time. And according to most polls, he just doesn't have them.

You think he can act more presidential? No, he physically can't. He can barely read. Reading a teleprompter is torture for him. He messes up about one sentence in three (being generous) and takes pauses. He sounds like a hostage reading a manuscript. He constitutionally can't tell the truth, and that is evident from his long public life and has been even more densely proven through his presidency. He really doesn't have the skills to even "act" presidential or fake empathy.

He also is mentally incapable of not being in the spotlight. He is hijacking the Covid-19 press briefings, turning them into campaign speeches. Lying both about Covid-19 and about other issues like his Facebook popularity, his impeachment or whatever else he is obsessed about.

Of it were me, I’d base it on need, be that in Chechnya, Angola or the US. Needs need not equate to poor but often would for a need which needs addressing like we “need doctors” or need “office workers” and then address that social need. Sometime it means boys are helped, other times it means girls are helped.
I think people don't really understand buybacks. The nuances of dividend vs share buybacks can be debated, but at the end of the day, each are just ways to return capital to shareholders like pension funds, 401ks etc. They didn't 'spend it' then returned it to investors which is what companies should do unless they have a different way to invest it for better returns.
That isn't what a face shield is for and it won't protect you in that scenario.

I printed my own frame and cut the shield a large plastic piece from a leftover toy package.

That being said, if I owned a commercial face mask, I would not feel bad. Hording/gouging is not equal to owning your own set of PPE.

I'm not sure what you're asking here - docker/docker-compose have both run and exec - they both start a process in a container. Run creates a new container, exec starts a process in a running container.

Both adhere to entrypoint and cmd; without arguments, entrypoint is called with cmd as argument (eg docker run ngnix would call the entry-script, which would call cmd - together they typically end up running nginx). If an argument is given, cmd is replaced. You would typically want that command to be bash: docker run ngnix bash / docker-compose run ngnix bash.

One difference is that docker-compose uses -ti (--tty/--interactive) by default, plain docker does not.

TL;DR to debug a service while it runs, start it like so:

docker-compose start web

And login to a shell in the container:

docker-compose exec web bash

(with ps you should now see your web server running next to your shell)

To run a shell inside a service, without starting the application itself:

docker-compose run --rm web bash

(your shell is now in a fresh container, your application typically won't be running (if there's no crazy entrypoint/init stuff going on) - and the container will be removed once you exit the shell.
My question was not about the effectiveness of N95 masks in a vacuum, it was correcting your assertion that the people that have died in the hospital, did so because they didn't wear N95 masks. It is possible to wear an N95 mask incorrectly, or to contaminate yourself during the putting on/taking off process. The idea that N95 masks inherently make you immune to exposure is ridiculous. The people that died in the hospital could've very well worn N95 masks and still been exposed.

I also believe you're more naive than I originally thought. I think you need luck now more than ever.
I've had mental health difficulties for quite a while, life handed me a good tangle to work through. I've had some upward movement in the last few months, and it's coincided with listening to the content produced by this gent, Dr Alok Kanojia, nick: Healthygamergg. [0]

He provides a set of frameworks (and demonstrates by example) for how obsessive, asd-leaning, smart, struggling people can go about growing a more functional pre-frontal cortex. He uses both familiar and relatively novel metaphors to convey the fundamentals of psychology in an interesting way, at least for a young-ish Western audience (drawing on video gaming and hindu/buddhist concepts respectively).

I have a really big problem with this 'should/ought-factory' culture online about how to behave. But if you relate to what I've said above, you should go check the channel out :)

Yes it is. It is exactly the same thing. A landlord is an unsecured creditor just like a lender with a loan that isn't backed by pledged collateral. In general, any unsecured creditor, whether bank, landlord, etc can sue or take other legal action to recover what they're owed. Though they might not win.

What the common discourse around this situation misses is how the landlords are very much on the hook if WeWork blows up. Especially given the broader economic contraction, there is no scenario where the landlords will force WeWork into destruction/non-operation. WeWork might file for chapter 11 bankruptcy and there's going to be some losses, but the odds of this business simply saying, sorry guys, we're closed, pack up your shit and go home, are effectively zero.

I'd be very careful recommending this method for loading webfonts. By Base64 encoding your fonts into a CSS file you are adding 1000's of bytes into a browsers critical path (since CSS is render blocking). You are also removing the browser ability to choose the most optimum font it supports (i.e. one with better compression like WOFF2). Requests are cheap, especially when using HTTP/2 (which multiplexes over a single TCP connection).

If you do use this method, I highly recommend testing both the standard loading method vs Base64 method on a low spec device (e.g. Moto G4 via WebPageTest) and seeing which performs best for your website.

This method used to be used on GOV.UK until we removed it 18 months ago. I wrote about the change here if you are interested: https://technology.blog.gov.uk/2018/10/04/making-gov-uk-page...

The point is: A lot of folks own a 3d printer and they are local. I can produce ~50 shields per day, that means I can supply shields to around 5 to 10 doctor's offices per day. My suburb in the city seems to have a few dozen doctors. Also if they can have a shield tomorrow, that is better than a shield in 2 weeks.

This can be a supplement until the original supply chains are up to speed and the doctor's can get the real equipment through official channels.
If some speech is suppressed everywhere, how can one know that it's false?
Yeah, that seems strange. If your motive is really to provide relief for people and not focus on getting profits, why would you do that with an entity that is used for profit motives?
