Not to be cruel, but the preexisting, running total of human suffering and tragedy in this world points to the fact that transcendent reality, the realm of God or a God, must have an alternative interpretation for human events, one which humans cannot fathom.

So for example, the tragedies which occur in your nightmares, after you wake, are given a different interpretation- the interpretation of "non-reality", i.e. it didn't really happen in some basic way that puts them into the category of "life non-tragedy".

From God's (or "a god's", for our dedicated atheists) POV, there is some enclosing context to the events of our lives that makes this mess we call reality "make sense". We don't have that perspective, so we think we suffer, pointlessly.

Along the chain from amoeba to goldfish to humans the understanding of events in our shared environment by each species changes. We think of that change as progressively
achieving a "deeper understanding" of reality. The zinger in this recitation of prosaic facts is: your consciouness is not the last one in the chain.

This is what Christians experience (and think of) as "faith". Faith in the wisdom or sense-making of a transcendent God and His plans.
The right way to think of it is that DNSSEC is a server-to-server protocol. It makes it difficult for an upstream authority server to cache a spoofed record in your recursive server. It provides basically no on-the-wire security between your browser and your DNS server.
Confirmed, and an interesting opportunity to spot who is using Argo Tunnels based on their current downtime.

Tunnels are one of Cloudflare’s best features for developers, instant NAT traversal for home-hosted demos and prototypes. It’s a shame you have to pay for Argo on your entire domain in order to use Argo Tunnels even on one subdomain.

Cloudflare, please offer origin tunnels as a separate service rather than bundling it with Argo routing on the client side.
> "no evidence of efficacy" does not imply evidence of no efficacy

That's incorrect. Absence of evidence is evidence of absence. It's just not proof of absence. See https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/mnS2WYLCGJP2kQkRn/absence-of...
I don't think it is moving the goalpost. The french doctor who first advocated this molecule pushed from the outset for testing and treating early rather than waiting for respiratory problems as we currently do [1]. In fact he later mentioned that when people had severe respiratory problems, the viral load was low and an anti-viral treatment wouldn't really help.

> Humans are the ones who have created such an overwhelming and toxic physical environment and disconnected social one

This argument isn't really theologically sound. If God exists, he's the one that created a biological system that allows for something as horrific as dementia. That literally has nothing to do with anything humans have done. It's pointless suffering.

> and to cause our contemporaries and descendants to suffer for our failures

Who's failures caused dementia? Certainly wasn't our ancestors fault.

Personally, I gain more comfort from the idea of an impartial universe, than a God who thinks this level of suffering is necessary.
Which is why Apple created Face ID to solve this problem.
>> lots of people who are going on and on about the headphone jack are upset out of principle, even though it won't actually degrade their user experience to a meaningful degree

But that is patently untrue.

1. I used to have a bunch of cheap, working headsets everywhere - laptop backpack, car, office, home. That whole use case and convenience is GONE.

2. If I was somewhere and needed to take a concall, I could just borrow anybody's headset. No longer the case.

3. Instead of having a good pair of headphones for 2 decades, I now have to buy new bluetooth headphones with unreplaceable battery and aging standards every few years, and worry about charging them etc.

My life has been so much worse since my employer switched to iPhone, that I wrote to my boss, project manager, practice lead, and in the end CFO. And not because "I'm one of those people" - I spend 3-6hrs a day on calls, and life just sucks now.
(for those who think Airpods are "fine for calls" - yes. For YOU. Not for other 20 people on the call who have to hear everything happening in 5 miles radius of you. And heaven help us if multiple Airpods join the call!)

So even if we say life got worse for - whatever: 10%, 5%, 1% of population - how has it gotten BETTER for you guys that don't happen to have a need for a jack? The phone is not smaller, it doesn't have a better battery life, etc.

I just don't see the argument here other than "I don't need it, so nobody should have it".

I've now spent several hundred dollars on the best-reviewed, bluetooth headset for my conference calls, and it's nowhere near as good, or convenient, as my $29.99 wired headsets.
From my understanding it does something to the virus membrane which then allows a high dose of zinc to actually disrupt the virus. I think the antibiotic component is to suppress risk of a secondary infection due to the suppressant effect.
Yup, I am emailed my account rep about Argo tunnels being down and the status page not really reflecting that issue... which is much larger than the dashboard being offline or APIs not working, IMHO.
yeah, i am happy about this as well!

I’ve always loved medical studies, but now the crisis got me to thinking about the moral decision (playing god?)
The way they describe this disease and his behavior, bending over backwards to keep him alive is just going to draw out the suffering of him, his family, his friends, etc. There's nothing bad on the other side of existence/nonexistence anyway, so why not just mercy kill what's left of the poor guy? It's either a quick and painless death or painful, slow disintegration from here on out.

"A few percent" of global emissions is positively massive.

According to wikipedia, Germany's economy (GDP $3.863T) is only about 4% of global economy (GDP $87.265T). Would you call Germany's economy insignificant?

More interestingly, there are only three nations (the US, China, Japan) with higher GDP. So, by the same criterion, we could argue that only these three countries have any significant economy (total $40.733T), and the rest can be ignored. But then we will be ignoring more than half of global economy! It's clearly a logical fallacy.

VirtualBox seems a victim of Oracle's usual apathy as a project custodian. Nearly every other VM vendor has added or accepted (Microsoft employees were even directly involved in PRs to qemu and other) performance improvements on Hyper-V.

It's almost like Oracle is trying to upsell VM servers at the expense of the day-to-day operations of the once well regarded open source project they maintain?~
A very interesting opinion.

tl;dr:

"I’m not saying the FEMA/CDC plan is bad. I simply don’t know their plan. But if I had to bet I’d say the plan isn’t very good. And the reason it isn’t very good is because — just like the old CD evacuation plan — it is starting with a fundamentally bad idea, which in this case is “how do we get the economy up and running by June 1 while killing the least people?”
NIMBYism is highly studied among economists, socio-economics and the like. I suggest reading some studies
If there is a serious suggestion that lemonade works we should try it in medical settings. So far the only suggestions come from those who point to alternate theories without any science - even a case study. If you get a doctor to try it and it works ill be more interested. Until then it is quacks and I'm not.
10 good years is a long time. As a founder I would guess he truly believed in the mission, at least before FTD took hold, and I think that kind of pursuit would be more fulfilling than a 10 year vacation.
Downloading years old data is pointless. Add a hash of all the existing public keys with balances (aka the ledger) every week and you can get away with just downloading 2 weeks of data + that leaguer. For people that want to data mine it, a measly 8TB dataset is tiny co pared to plenty of public datasets are hundreds of times that size. https://nasa.github.io/data-nasa-gov-frontpage/
They should have data already on this. Basically, is the current rather large population of people already taking HQC under representing in the Covid-19 patient data.
Surely this depends on the situation. In many lying flat situations, Face ID does work. If you want to read a notification (eg a message) while you have gloves on (eg if you’re skiing) then Face ID plus raise to wake are a massive improvement, though of course you have to take your goggles off.
Developer mindshare. Mindshare at all.

Compare to Oracle. When Sun had been trying to win mindshare with OpenSolaris, what did Oracle do? It killed it. It also effectively killed any chance of winning that mindshare. I'm still salty about that.

Open source is a business tool. A tool for building trust and mindshare.

> You don't have to worry about keeping your current job

Depends on the job. There are employers who recognize the value of somebody who has broad experience, and who can/will do things that are necessary but not fun. There are also employers who only measure hands-on-coding skills, and/or who insist that everyone should be on a "growth path" even if they're already at a higher level than most will reach. Good people don't have to worry at the first kind, and very much have to worry at the second.

Well they're the most frequently occurring serious side effect of HCQ, so I'm not sure why you're leaping to blame the virus when the drug they're giving is well-known for causing exactly those problems.

Those ECG changes aren't generally observed just in people who have COVID-19; it's the drug that we know does that, doing that.
And to put this interpretation into perspective, people that need this drug for diseases that it has proven to have a large effect on are losing access to it because it may or may not help with COVID-19.
(Regarding the Headline) Surely you mean 35% of homeless who were tested. We can't say for certain that the sample is an exact representation of the general population of the homeless in Boston.

"Upon observing a cluster of COVID-19 cases from a single large homeless shelter in Boston, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program conducted symptom assessments and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 among all guests residing at the shelter over a 2-day period. Of 408 participants, 147 (36.0%) were PCR-positive for SARS-CoV-2"

The key thing here is they tested people from one single homeless shelter. Is this one homeless shelter in Boston representative of all homeless shelters in Boston? There is not enough info in this article to make that assumption. Nor is it enough information to make generalizations about the populations of the homeless who do not live in shelters.
I condemn AU for helping the useless WHO chief continue assisting China-backed cover up that has caused thousands of avoidable deaths, made millions unemployed and destroyed billions of economic output and value.

Argo is kind of an overloaded term... Argo (not tunneling) is better routing from the edge, which can have a measurable impact on performance. Argo (tunneling) can also impact performance in a positive way but it is also a nice way to secure things, provide access to secure/internal sites, provide ssh/rdp access into a datacenter, and other things.

While I respect that the actual article is quite good, the headline got a chuckle out of me. "Well I sure hope they are; if not, I should probably turn them on or replace them!"

Actual article tl;dr is the perpetual push-pull between data aggregation and privacy concerns over the data collected by cameras intended for other purposes like lane following or collision avoidance. One example shown in the pro column is MobileEye, which is trying to use aggregated data to identify problems with roads that civil engineers or maintenance could correct. One example shown in the con column is insurers leveraging data sets from their drivers to improve their information for negotiation purposes in the market.

> on the back like it is on most Android phones

The jury is solidly still out on the "better" part. There's no consensus between customers on this topic. Manufacturers who placed the fingerprint sensor (and power button, earlier) on the back, or even the side despite the clear disadvantage of having a tiny sensor, did so to make the bottom bezel slightly smaller, not because of proven better ergonomics. And given the opportunity they switched back to the front, under the screen. Most also chase thinness at the price of smaller batteries which says nothing about the soundness of the decision.

> This home button/fingerprint reader combo is taking up so much precious real estate

The button is there because the design comes from a time when the screens were small so on-screen buttons were a waste, and the body needed to be large enough to accommodate everything else. This phone is an iPhone 8 with a better SoC. It's not a new design or even a redesign.

The design isn't bad, it's old. And it's old so it can be cheap. They achieved a worthwhile result a pricepoint where at the very least it provides exceptional software support and a current generation SoC. There are few phones that serve that segment (OP5 was pretty much the last one in the price range - good SoC, OKish support, regular old bezels). You can freely sacrifice this for better screen to body ratio phones if that quality is more appealing.
I agree. I wonder if we could try to move click-baity articles under truth in advertising legislation of some sort.

edit: clarified it a little
Why? Apple tend to support their phones for many years after newer models are released
No, that's illegal where I live (at least for the driver, I'll sometime wear headphones on a long trip when I'm not driving but in that case I won't be navigating so battery drain isn't as bad). I was responding to the above poster's question: "And when was the last time you needed to charge it and listen to music at the same time?" I don't have wireless Android Auto or whatever new cars have nowadays, so I use an analog connection to my car's stereo. The cable uses the same 3.5mm jack as headphones, but is legal as long as I don't fiddle with my phone while driving.
Apparently cases made for the iPhone 8 will fit the new SE. That's great for case manufacturers, and also good for consumers.
I didn’t buy the SE because it was cheaper. I bought it because it had the best balance between performance and form factor.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dementia and schizophrenia are present in my family as well and caring for those in the later stages has been really hard.

I found myself torn by the same question of whether to test for genetic predisposition. After reading The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee, whose author is in a similar position, I have found some comfort in deciding not to test for now. As he says in an NPR interview:

> There's no one-to-one correspondence between a genome and the chances of developing schizophrenia. And until we can create that map - and whether we can create that map ever is a question - but until I - we can create that map, I will certainly not be tested because it - that idea - I mean, that's, again, the center of the book. That confines you. It becomes predictive. You become ... a previvor (ph). A previvor is someone who's survived an illness that they haven't even had yet. You live in the shadow of an illness that you haven't had yet.

This is what the current plan says. Once implemented, the implementation can always be tweaked. In fact it can be tweaked in the next deploy coming a minute after the first.

IMO this is why brain scans should be more common / part of a normal physical every few years.
The universe exists to give us the opportunity to be selfless caregivers for our fellow human beings or be callous or even predatory towards those we deem "other" or "lesser". This why we each are born with a sense of morality, however molded from culture to culture and manifest from person to person, except in the rare cases of people, like Lee, that have physical pathologies that hinder it.

The non-pathological of us each have the free will to choose to self-evolve ourselves during our lives towards greater compassion for all those around ourselves, or to selfishly gather as much material pleasure as we can for ourselves regardless of the cost to others, be it monetary, emotional, or physical.

We are all actively evolving ourselves every day of our lives, for better or worse, even if all it amounts to is repetitively strengthening one's already accepted habits and attitudes. The exception being when disease or tragedy takes away our ability to rationally choose, as happens with people such as Lee. That is where compassion from our fellow human beings is part of the potential we must each welcome, for such is the moral requirement of being a human being.

We have been given what is both a great gift and a great responsibility with our free will and the mind required to learn and wield it justly and for the benefit of the whole and not just some preferred sub-group.

God is not a white man (full-disclosure: white guy here); It didn't give us free will only to then take it back from us because that means we can become, for example, callous, self-serving, corrupt, power-seeking, hypocritical fake-Christian deceivers of men.

No. The polarity of our morality extends to whichever direction the person can imagine. That is why we are both treasured above all creation and capable of the most brutal of atrocities.

We are free to be good or evil and that means we are also free to not give a fuck.
They will do that with vaccines before they are approved as well as a preparatory step. They likely will do it with more than one vaccine formulation, even if only one is ultimately approved. Stockpiling isn't an endorsement.
Ugh, this is not at all a valid comparison. It's extremely tired, too.

The phone MUST create analog audio signals, to drive its own speaker. Denying customers a connector to access it is petty and offensive. Compounding that offense is requiring every listening device to now incorporate redundant D/A converters. Contrary to apologists saying that this enables better quality, it in fact results in wholly unpredictable quality.

Not to mention that your ears will ALWAYS require analog audio. So do billions of amplification devices around the world.

There's no excuse.

Can you name some prominent members of this cult and their statements that match this framing? Serious question. I don't think anyone really matches that description. Pretty much everyone horrified at the cloroquine boosterism was horrified because it was irresponsible and dangerous, not because they had strong feelings about the drug itself.

Every comparison article doesn't need to (and shouldn't) include a comparison about every kind of detail about two technologies.

If a post is about speed/performance, and you want to know implementation details (or accessibility or how well it plays with your stack) then look for something else. A quick google search quickly gives me whatever details I want to know about whatever two widely used technologies:

For example redis vs memcached: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10558465/memcached-vs-re...

But more importantly its okay for a post to be narrow in scope. The requirement should be that it is not misleading in whatever question it sets out to answer.
A lot of its capabilities is tied to the processing capabilities of other internal chips, so it's unclear what you'd gain.
I think it's important to bear in mind that the phone doesn't have to beat the full-frame camera at this game. It only needs to be "good enough". The fact that the phone is much more convenient to carry and use already gives it a huge leg up. What's the saying? "The best camera is the one you have with you"

If someone can make a phone that gives convincing fake bokeh and covers wide, normal, and tele focal lengths while producing images that are even remotely comparable to a "real" camera in an 8x10 print... that person will demolish what's left of the camera industry.
