I'd guess this is the face shield you're referring to: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-face-shield

It's awesome that Prusa designed and open sourced face shields. Apple seems to have improved on those designs - to me, that's exactly the point of open source.
How many buildings do they actually own outright given that most of their offices are long term leases?

The buildings that they do own are surely heavily mortgaged, which means that the lender will attempt to foreclose on it if payments are not made. WeWork itself could try to preemptively unload it. There's standard processes for properties with trust deeds attached to them.
How do you mean? This Apple design looks very different from any that I can find attributed to "Prusa" (not sure if that's a person or a company, but the company put out 3D print designs that are very different). And all of them, of course, copy shields that were out long before the current crisis.

A lot of people were prototyping shields to satisfy a sudden and overwhelming demand, and with 3D printers it seemed like dozens of variations appeared overnight. I don't think attribution is a big concern.
This is impressive, compared to what traditional health companies like Pharma are doing.

The latter seem mostly to update existing products like faster tests or trying to develop vaccines.

Whereas it’s the tech companies which are going a bit beyond their traditional business: Apple making face masks, Google and Apple making screening websites (other examples?)

All of which could be done by traditional health companies, but unfortunately innovation is not their strength. Need to be disrupted!

And no surprise from Apple, since Tim Cook has said before: “Apple’s biggest contribution to mankind will be in healthcare” and they are doing a lot more than these face masks.

Maybe some day, but hospitals are obviously going to get priority until they have sufficient PPE for all their employees. Hospitals are already unable to provide sufficient PPE for the doctors and nurses, let alone the rest of the on site staff - so any mask going to a non care provider means a care provider does not have such.

Is there any way to do this with a disease that can spread for a week before symptoms show when we don't have anywhere near adequate numbers of tests? The issue here is that unlike most other diseases, this one goes from one person somewhere has it to many, many people in many places have it before it can be detected in its original location.

"Quack" is in the eye of the beholder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life_of_knowledge

I don't mean to paint a false equivalence between the likes of Icke, and the first person to say "maybe bloodletting isn't helpful". But what does one do about collective/consensus quackery? Even if the consensus of experts is the more solid bet on average, the outliers are consequential, whether it's telling citizens not to wear masks, or invading Iraq for no good reason.

Mu. The new media landscape doesn't map cleanly to the old. For better and for worse, cheap and asynchronous publishing puts us in uncharted territory relative to the "Blue Church" of 20th-century broadcast media: https://medium.com/deep-code/understanding-the-blue-church-e...

(I do find it interesting that InfoWars is now incorporating their pariah status into their branding: they brag that they are the "Most Banned Network in the World". For those on the other side, a banning by the Social Media Giants can serve as an erroneous counter-signal that the bannee should be trusted. Cross-reference with the Streisand Effect, and Orwell's admonition that "journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed".)

I was hoping for a rust port and not a kludge.
And given their general attitude of hoping to keep things secret instead of working within the law discovery would probably find quite a few incriminating emails & IMs talking about the best ways to hide their dirty laundry. They seem to have the same kind of arrogance about legal matters that's brought down literally hundreds (or possibly thousands) of startups over the decades. I'm not sure why they thought this wasn't going to turn into news, but it's a pretty common mindset.

This burst of PPE being produced in mass quantities are and were never meant to go in the hands of the general public (i.e., non healthcare workers), though. The general public does not need to be walking around with a full face shield, that’ll be a waste of materials, time and money, unfortunately.
All of these candidates were better than Trump, by any objective measure like polls, IQ, eloquency, politics, grasp of domestic and international issues.

Biden and Sanders had been pulling crowds just as large as Trump had been.

The only path to victory for Trump is a really low voter turnout. Biden is beating him in polls, by a much larger margin than Clinton did. Even in "battleground" states. Covid-19 is the only factor on the horizon that could lead to the kind of voter turnout that Trump needs to win. Otherwise, again from polling and the mid-term elections, you can expect a record voter turnout, especially on the democratic side.
Everywhere I've ever worked that had docker/vagrant, the devops guy has promised me easy, one command environments, and not once has it worked.

I've seen the product they are selling, I've watched a docker command build me a multi-part infrastructure, automatically source databases and assets from afar, and do it all quickly. But then it failed the second time I tried it. I've not found it to be a reliable tool at all.
Some commentators, disproportionately Silicon Valley VC types, are absolutely befuddled at why the FDA needs to exist and why regulations are slowing things down.

It's like they can't imagine a crisis worse than COVID being created by a sloppy and irresponsible response (exempting, of course, responses that hurt their investment portfolios, all of which are bad).
I was curious, so I looked at the Prusa design. The Apple design has enough additional cleverness that it's quite a stretch to call them the same.

The main difference is that it doesn't require 3D printing which is obviously a deal-breaker for the quantity needed. By incorporating the clear plastic as a structural element, they eliminated a piece from the design. The bottom piece is also eliminated.

Altogether more elegant and more useful than the Prusa design.

I think it's possible to know more than just "there's going to be an effect" from history. 1st order effects (i.e. this happened because of this) are usually quite obvious and observable. For instance, are we going to see remote work becoming more mainstream because of this? I think that is almost a certainty at this point.

In simple systems, 1st order effects are dominant.

However you're right that in complex systems like geopolitics, the dominant effects are not 1st order, but higher order (2nd, 3rd, 4th order) and those are hard to isolate -- all the effects are mixed. Also, we can't measure the counterfactuals ("what would have happened if...") because they didn't happen! Of course, historians and writers will try to fill in the gaps with their theories and invariably they're going to be wrong to various degrees and still make the NYT Best Seller list.

That notwithstanding, we can still learn something (albeit limited) from the 1st order effects that are observable -- it's not all or nothing.
Google's internal corp tools designed for majority of its employees are pretty nice. Tools for Chromebook sales analysts might not be as great though, but it also doesn't make sense to put tons of investments into a tool used by just tens of sales people.

> It certainly wouldn't be ethical

There are circumstances where I would consider it ethical. For example, publishing the logs after a month (or whatever) delay and after notifying the relevant parties to fix their configs and change any secure information exposed.

In that case, it's similar to security researchers releasing the information, and I imagine it also protects him from liability in some ways. Firstly, he treats all traffic the same and has a public policy of exposing it, I think that more clearly puts the problem on the people sending the data to a public location, and secondly, people at a company that are looking at a security problem won't notice some some info went out to him and grasping at straws look to cover their own asses by trying to say that's where the problem must have come from.
> it should be beyond question that Trump is downplaying the severity of the coronavirus in the last few sentences.

He may have downplayed the severity, but it's light years away from claiming it's a "hoax". One can reasonably debate whether he did the former, but the latter is flat out lie. It's not ok to lie, even about Trump. There's a huge difference between choosing how to react to coronavirus (a lot of people were unsure initially how severe it is) and flatly denying it is happening. It's OK to argue that Trump was wrong on his chosen reaction, but it's not ok to lie that he called it a "hoax".

> It follows that the "hoax" is referring to the opposition party making a mountain out of molehill.

The "hoax" was about the claim that he did poor job handling the coronavirus. He thinks he did great job and his opponents are wrong. Not about that coronavirus epidemics doesn't exist.

> Which is fine and good!

What is not fine and not good is that people are ok with lying as long as it hurts the other tribe and helps theirs. Not ok at all. It's not a matter of "interpretation", it's a matter of twisting facts to the point where it becomes outright falsity.
I have seen restaurant employees also wearing face shields, especially if they work cash. A lot of places near me have also been putting up sheets of plastic between the cashier and the customer.

Hey all, I would like to present a side project which I have been building with a friend.

We bonded over our shared passion for solving crypto CTF challenges, and found that infosec people are often curious about crypto - but see it as an intimidating topic. We wanted to build a "HackTheBox of crypto", where users are encouraged to learn about how crypto works, and how to break it on a fun gamified platform.

We have categories on RSA, block ciphers, ECC, mathematics and other schemes, and will be continuing to release new challenges to stay up-to-date with the latest attacks and techniques.
Another quick thought, did you check you're using the right device? In that tool menu dialogue you could switch it to 0 instead of 1 etc or try grepping for the device list...

And can you view the device in VLC even when RGB? There are individual settings per input for RGB/YUV etc which I think default to the latter.

Top posting limits the complexity of discussion that can be had to what can be kept in working memory of the people involved.

I don't think the actual racks are plastic.

Specifically, all the recommendations I have seen are that you should not microweave or put in the dishwasher plastic containers. That's for food, so you can see where the leaching concerns would be.

The very worst I've seen is in Krita (maybe they've changed it) where to make a new brush you had to select the name field of an existing brush and edit it, and only then would the button for "Save a Copy as a New Brush" or whatever appear. Good luck hunting for the "New Brush" button, you're not going to find it.

Lots of the Cortex M4 parts have less than 100k SRAM total. That '476 is relatively big with 128KB SRAM. The LPC1768 has 32KB, so maybe things have been really slimmed down than I remember.
That's possible, but the certs expire very quickly and they only offer access to a tiny subset of resources. You'd be constantly exporting & importing certs.

I'm sorry your text is grey; this is a valid question.

These are preliminary studies: someone says, "Let me try something," it appears to work, and they report what they saw, with the resources they had.

As a result, someone organizes follow-on studies with more resources, which costs much more. At that point, the effect usually disappears, due to the greater power of the more careful study.

It's more that `CORP` was the default short name for the AD domain, and also Windows ticks the "try superdomains" box in search domains by default.

So if you have your fully-qualified AD domain set to `ad.example.com`, that's the default search domain too, and a DNS lookup for `corp` will first check `corp.ad.example.com` then `corp.example.com` then `corp.com`.

Now, if you're using the AD server as your DNS server then it shouldn't get that far -- `corp.ad.example.com` should resolve. But if for whatever reason a device connected to AD doesn't use the AD server as its DNS server, for example if it's a laptop and not connected to the corporate network, then you'll be offered a _different_ search domain like `myisp.com`. Which probably _won't_ resolve `corp.myisp.com`. So the built-in resolver will after all walk its way up the search domain and check `corp.com` QED.

1) Because they _can_. They have the manufacturing connections to quickly connect the needed pieces

2) Because they have the spare cash to spin this up very quickly.

3) Because they want to help (or at a minimum, look like they're helping).

Are there any reasons why they _shouldn't_ be making this kind of stuff? Other companies also meet all 3 of those conditions, and I think we should be glad (note: I'm saying 'glad' and not 'grateful') that any of them are doing this.
That's been recommended since about 1993. That doesn't mean more than 10% of sites have ever actually followed the guideline.
Completely agree. CS departments deserve a ton of credit for having to adjust to insane levels of growth that are unlike any other department.

Also you're spot on about Cal. In fact, I too questioned whether or not it made sense for us to launch there at first, especially given that they have such a topnotch CS program with incredible resources. However when we spoke to 100s of students there before we launched, we quickly learned that the competitive environment still resulted in so many students slipping through the cracks. Moreover, we encourage Edlyft mentors to direct students to existing resources on campus as well. Edlyft should not be a replacement for these existing resources, but instead a supplemental option where students feel they can be a little more vulnerable.

Lastly, our characterization of the climate in schools comes directly from students' experiences and our own. Cal definitely has tons of resources that I only wished I had access to when I was in school. However many schools are still very far from getting there, leading to so much talent being overlooked. Edlyft should not have to exist and we're successful when it no longer needs to.
