The point is to slow it down, not actually know which ritual failed.

We aren't worried about how you or I really get it, it doesn't matter if it actually was carried by a supernatural deity following certain people around or if someone has a death note that uses 5g radio waves to target individuals in the phone book. We only know that crowds and ignoring hygeine carry it faster and we just need time to treat it.

Arguably in 2020 it is something Zoom did wrong in allowing people to re-use known passwords.

"Reject Pwned Passwords" is a very cheap security improvement during sign-up processes. Of course the problem for Zoom is that they've focused very hard on reducing "Bounce" where people decide they'd rather not sign up, which has led to a lot of the other complaints about Zoom we're also reading.

If you run a service that has an email + password type sign-in, the top TWO items I'd tell you are must haves for that service today - as in if you aren't live they need to be requirements for go-live and if you're already live they should be top of your pile are:

1. Sign-in-with-X services that out-source authentication entirely to somebody else, it doesn't much matter if it's Facebook, Google, Apple, almost anything is better than creating yet another service with yet more credentials. These services are relatively low friction. Zoom does offer this, and if you must have Zoom (as many of us must in this period) then this is the least worst option.

2. Blocking known passwords with something like PwnedPasswords. If you must build your own account authentication either out of hubris or with some genuine rationale for why it's necessary, use PwnedPasswords or a similar service to reject these passwords. Don't have stupid "policies" that sounded good to some idiot who still thinks regular expressions are a pretty neat idea, just reject these known bad passwords.

There are lots of more expensive things I think companies should do if they take security seriously, like implementing WebAuthn (ie FIDO security keys) but the above two are low hanging fruit. If you haven't done them it is something you did wrong.

Having 530k unique accounts on any growing platform seems like a great investment even if it's not clear how to utilize them right now. Whatever someone could ever want to do with a bot army, they now have 530k fewer accounts to create. Mass-creating accounts will only get more difficult as Zoom's platform matures. There are plenty of ways utilize bot accounts for indirect financial gain on platforms like Reddit and Twitter.
Why does the % figure for financing matter?

I don't care what they're charging me for the financing. I just care about the final bottom-line price. They can make 50% or 0% on financing for all I care.

Ignore how they say they're arriving at their final number - just look at what the final number is.
Be afraid of those deals. In the US, there is an entire industry based on people defaulting on car loans. It is very possible for a lender to make substantial profit a loan they know is going to fail. The money comes from repossession and resale of the car (a conveniently mobile asset as opposed to houses) combined with penalty charges. So they might push 0% loans onto people who they know are likely to default. The inclusion of GPS trackers on cars has made this all the simpler.

Remember the adage: If you aren't paying, you are the product.

84 months is also ridiculous for a car loan. That means you will very quickly owe more than the car is worth, a dangerous situation for a lender. They would only offer such a loan if they had alternative contingency plans such as massive penalties.
Interesting. FURISC looks like it cribbed a lot of ideas off ShapeCPU without referencing prior art. I find it hard to believe someone would be working on a libScarab-based CPU without seeing ShapeCPU as well.

Encrypted termination conditions were definitely in that implementation. The memory mux too.
Wasn't the issues with the initial tests that there weren't accurate and their simply weren't enough to go around?

The USA shipped out tests after other countries, and with a faulty reagent that caused false positives. Causing labs that should have been able to do their own tests to have to ship samples to an overwhelmed CDC. See https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/03/05/905484/why-the-c... for verification.

The CDC promised new tests, but they took weeks to arrive. In the meantime federal bureaucracy roadblocked the development of independent tests. Finally the Seattle Flu study went and ahead and tested...only to find that COVID-19 had community spread for several weeks in that testing vacuum. You can verify that at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/coronavirus-testing-de....

As far as disbanding the Pandemic team, it's not really true, there was a shuffling of who was in charge of it. It was finally transferred to the Vice President.

Let's go for a fuller version: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-trump-fired-pan...

Long story short, a number of people were let go, what was left was moved around in the bureaucracy, the political leadership left in charge claims that it still works, but the people left and other politicians claim that it was hamstrung.

Given that the US response has been so weak, it it questionable whether it operated at all effectively.

As far as I can tell, the FDA approved an emergency policy to Help Expedite the Availability of Diagnostics on Feb 19th.

Yes, at which point they created a bureaucratic nightmare for the approval process. As the NY Times article outlines, the lab that actually found community spread was NOT able to get through the approval process.

The US probably has more contact with China due to trade/travel than most other countries. I don't believe the numbers from China, they are sure to be way higher than they report.

Yes, the USA has a lot of travel. You are far from alone in not believing China. However there is no reason to believe that they are lying about having effectively shut down the virus. (Even the social distancing we are doing here seems to be working, and China was a lot more extreme.)

I don't think the Federal Government really has the ability to shut down a states beaches that aren't Federally managed.

Never underestimate the reach of the Commerce Clause. The President's ability to declare quarantines and apply them to whomever for whatever reason is extreme.

I don't know the limits for sure. But I doubt that he would have had less ability to act than various governors have had.
The latest addition to my renaming-toolbelt has been `perl-rename'. This thing is just wonderful: I can unleash all the power of perl-based regexes to rename things in bulk.

Case in point: I had a directory containing thousands of .jpg images imported from a foreign filesystem, and all of those files had tildes in them, something like:

$ ls -1
EL+�CTRICO_0001.jpg
EL+�CTRICO_0002.jpg
EL+�CTRICO_0003.jpg
...

You get the idea; note those ugly unrepresentable characters over there. On the original filesystem they read as "ELÉCTRICO", but that tilde was saved using who knows what encoding, and I simply wanted to get rid of them and have nice ascii "ELECTRICO_xxxx.jpg" files. After finding out that the strange unrepresentable character was the byte 0xEB (so, in order to form an "É" you needed those two characters together: a literal '+' and 0xEB), I could do the bulk renaming with just:

$ perl-rename 's/\+\xeb/E/' *.jpg

Felt so good!
With NewPipe and ytdl I can.

And the cake is delicious.
Looks like Namebase requires ID verification before you can bid on a domain. Sounds like the new DNS is going to be even worse than the current one.
We can tell whether the number is iMessage compatible (similar to how when you type in a new number to text on an iPhone you can tell whether it is iMessage compatible or not). So if it's not iMessage, we can send that number an SMS like normal. If they are iMessage, but for some reason delivery fails, we can also send an SMS as a backup.

It's way older and more sinister than that. States' rights was first used to justify the continuation and expansion of the institution of slavery.

You aren't going to get far off-road in your Prius, are you? And isn't the load capacity of a pick-up truck going to be 2-3x that of a Prius?
At least around me, people buy houses that are not in walkable places not because they can't afford somewhere else. It is because they can get some massive new house with a huge yard and gas is cheap so long commutes are fine. We subsidize roads so much that they can drive 30 minutes/30 miles to work every day and back. Meanwhile there are houses that are 1/3 of the price that are only a few miles away from their work but they are also smaller houses.

>There's no lock-in. Hell, there's anti-lock-in. If a venue bucks the trend and doesn't use TM customers will cheer.

That's not true. Live Nation runs many big name tours and will (allegedly) avoid venues that don't use Ticketmaster.
To me the primary thing that matters is how strategic the software is to your core business. This may sound like just evaluating whether it's your core business or not, but it's a nuance on that which is important.

It's easiest described by an example: we use open source Gitlab extensively. Numerous times it has been proposed that we migrate to $expensive alternative because they all have advanced functionality that we don't get from Gitlab (in many cases, even the enterprise version). Yet we are sticking with Gitlab, and making extensive customisations (mostly using the API) and workflows adapted to it.

Is our core business developing software for CI/CD/Issue tracking/source code management? Absolutely not. But is that critical to us? Absolutely. Because Gitlab is open source and because it has an extensive API, we can eek out efficiencies all over the place that aren't possible with closed source software.

So I think it's really important that people use the right frame of mind when evaluating "core business" or not. You don't have to be in the business of a selling particular type of software for it to be worth doing "in-house". You do have to be good at it though.
But for those of us with Covid-19, the full force of modern social technologies that enable cooperation, communication and specialization among billions of humans around the world has been applied and come up snake eyes.

For the record, I don't think this is an accurate representation of the situation.

The world has done a remarkable job of coming up with ventilators, masks and new practices on the fly in the face of overwhelming demand and labor shortages.

The ventilators aren't working as well as expected, so doctors are collaborating via internet in real time to come up with other options. New hypotheses concerning the pathology of the condition are already emerging.

Also, with internet access, you can google up medically recommended airway clearance techniques, recommended OTC drugs, etc. You can double check that it's a reputable source and an established practice for management of lung issues.

Covid19 is not the first time people have been faced with managing deadly lung issues. You can find good info on that very thing by searching for resources for cystic fibrosis. It's very deadly and people routinely manage it from home with medically approved and doctor recommended treatment modalities.
I think the very fact that you want winners and losers is the problem. That shouldn't be the goal in having a discussion with another person.

Focusing on the mechanics and methods has left you blind to the outcome, as demonstrated:

> You have to argue successfully on both sides to win a competition

Who, in the real world, would use a skill like this? Lawyers who defend corporations who poison populations? Murderers? Sleazy politicians?

It might just be that you have demonstrated the very thing being discussed: Talking past the issue at hand. The OP isn't about the mechanics of debate. It's about talking past the issue.

The article is focused on the rental agencies dumping their older fleet cars onto the market in about 6 months. But there's no way I'd buy a former rental car - I know how people treat those cars. The buyers will be people who are fine with a not-so-gently used car in a lower trim spec. They're going to negotiate hard, driving the prices down even further.

And like others have said - I have very little sympathy for car dealers. I helped mom buy a new CUV recently, and one dealer had it sewn up .. until they swapped the vehicle we had been talking about for a different one when we got to the "We're buying today - how much will you come down on price?" part.
Why do you say it is obvious? Monocultures were selected at a specific point in time for their properties, which may include robustness, but it doesn't change the fact that they are basically giant colonies of clones.

Real long-term robustness in nature comes from genetic diversity, which ensures future pathogens with a particular affinity will not be able to thrive through entire countries/continents.
I really like problem solving and estimation questions during interviews, and I favor them over coding skills, etc.
A question that I frequently use is how long would it take to evacuate a city like Phoenix, if there was a 24 hour warning that some dictator du jour is going to drop a nuke.
It boils down to assessing a throughput of various modes of transportation: cars, buses, trains, airplanes, and yes walking.
One candidate responded "by helicopters" at which point the interview was pretty much over.
I've always found the "zero percent" financing to be misleading: if you opt to pay with cash there is usually a cash rebate (or equivalent) that makes your purchase price lower. This difference amounts to something like a 4% interest rate. Are there any cases where the cash price matches the "zero percent loan" price?
Build deps aren't free, but have different constraints and effects.

Anyway, if this is your full dependency tree - with transitive dependencies included - this is fairly reasonable. I reckon Boost doesn't need to be there, and you're probably well past the point of diminishing returns with GTK+ and a UI like yours, but otherwise this seems reasonable to me. You should also consider moving on from autotools by now, I recommend Meson as a replacement.

These kinds of questions - is autotools still a good choice? Do we really need Boost? Is GTK+ doing us any favors? Answering these is the "careful keeping of your dependency graph small and conservative" that I am referring to.
> DNA and RNA are the non-volatile memory of the biological computer. Central nervous systems eventually reached a level of complexity that allowed them to persist memories, which opened up an even higher order problem solving mechanism. We humans have taken it even further with a cerebral cortex capable of abstraction, leading to complex language and the technology to record that language permanently.

Capitalism is to Natural Selection as the Brain is to the Genome. Capitalism is the same Darwinistic entropy engine as Natural Selection, just abstracted to the plane of higher thought rather than raw biochemistry.
Assuming you were going to buy that particular car anyway, I don't think that matters.

I suspect what the parent comments are hinting at is you can then pocket the money you would have spent on a car anyway and put it in the bank or stocks and earn interest on that money.
Being in the city makes public transport much more useful. At least where I am virtually all public transport lines have one end in the city and one end in the suburbs. So if you are in the suburbs you can get to the city and if you are in the city you can get to anywhere.

Can someone give some context as to what Sonja is or what this means? I'm curious to know more about it, but the article doesn't explain the significance very well for me.
Re. ontology: If that's not it, it's close.

Business logic is certainly a reflection of a programmer's understanding of the business, as well as their skill in applying object oriented concepts (or whatever) and occam's razor to express it in a manner that doesn't balloon in complexity and isn't cognitively wasteful. There's an art component, and a science component; and if they're both right it will make a solid foundation for everything else, and for communication with the business.
Things were quite bad but they've improved rapidly over the past weeks and months.

Hospitals have actually, counter-intuitively, seen a reduction in usage. The number of hospitalizations has been far lower than expected (~20% of IHME's modeled values) and when combined with the fact that non-COVID patients have been avoiding hospitals (even for serious emergencies like heart attacks and strokes!), many are reporting entire wards being completely unused according to reports from medical professionals on Twitter, Facebook, and r/medicine.

Also, 150,000 test results are coming in every day. That's 5x the per-capita testing rate of South Korea (~5,000 tests per day) and while we certainly can and should increase testing dramatically, the US is actually doing pretty well on testing relative to global numbers.
Um... I think they need a copy of Photoshop if they're going to try to "imitate" it. They imitated it as closely as chopping onions is similar to learning how to drive a car. I checked it out in January, while doing a month of open source alternatives to Adobe. That's a big no.

Adobe is pricey but that money is pumped very well into UI. After playing with some of the open source alternatives... yea, $55 a month is now cheap to me since I now know what crappy UI and ass backwards workflows really look like.
Brace expansion isn't a glob, unfortunately. Did you try it?

Note that the protocol was followed for the "previous two weeks". The incubation period can easily be two weeks[1], so the infection could have happened earlier.

Helped my parents buy a car recently and had a very similar experience. The guys at the first dealership we went to kept switching the car and trim they were talking about, then promising deals that magically disappeared a few minutes later. They really don't help themselves if they actually care about rehabilitating their reputation for being shady.
