In both cases there is 1.7 mil dollars less in public budget, I don't see how this is different.
The article mentions,

> "informed employees at the six French fulfillment centers that they’ll be on a partial unemployment program with full pay."

As another poster mentions, I see this as a loss to the French consumer at a time when eCommerce is already strained.
That is why science is not leadership.
I'm not positive that the 2 Kings example is exactly free will being removed, because Elijah asks God for what happens, and God does respond to prayer (praying with faith is another issue).

But I do see what you're asking — how God seems to step in more often in the OT. Thinking of all of human history from ~4000BC until now where Mankind "grows up" over time, the concept of God as Father works — parents put a lot of restrictions on their kids when they're young to keep them safe, and remove those restrictions over time. Even if the child does something unsafe at a certain point a parent just has to say "now that you know the consequences, you have to live with them."
This article is a summary of the original:

Yeah it doesn't really mean that ...
R&D, salaries, benefits, government pork.
Late Dr. Oliver Sacks in his book "musicophilia" spent a chapter on Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). That's chapter 28: "irrepressible: music and temporal lobes".
The A13 chip will be a huge upgrade and guarantee OS support for quite a while, even if a lot of the other specs are the same. If the 6S manages to survive getting OS updates this year, it probably won't next year.

And Apple usually goes for a target battery life that stays fairly consistent across generations. It creeps up slowly over time, but very slowly.
Also important to note:

There are some notable exceptions aside from the BBC in the UK. The Government Digital Service is held in fairly high regard. I’m not sure about the states. There are no doubt examples at the BBC of what you describe, but mainly it’s pleasant smart people building useful things. There’s dysfunction, but it’s bearable.
I have come to realize that headphone jack advocates in phones really do seem to be a minority.

* If you use wired headphones on your phone, a dongle is just a few inches of cable

* Most who use wired headphones accept the quality and comfort of apple earpods that plug into the lightning port

* Most people in general who use their phones for audio use bluetooth.

Note: I am using the metric of average American consumer, not other countries.

Those are observations. My personal opinion is that you cannot get much smaller in display size than the 2020 SE without reducing UI functionality or having a pen. I am not sure 2020 apps would function well for any significant number of users with an iPhone SE 2016 form factor.

Also remember, this may be a good market for them to get into, but Apple is doing this so they can use existing parts and processes. This is not a top down design of a compact phone.

PS: My personal "Why did you do that" is removing fingerprint. They should have moved it to the back, if they cared about borderless display. Face recognition depends on lighting, and me looking at my phone.
> Imagine if 10+% of the population already had COVID and where immune, we'd be much closer to heard immunity than we currently think.

We’d be about 1/7 the way there. Meaning we’d see another 6x current deaths to get through this. That’s not even close to acceptable.

And the 10% aren’t realistic, anyway. At least nationally. Assuming nationwide rates of 10%, then scaling up by death numbers, would put infection rates far above 100% in New York.
It wasn't a study of representative German households, but just those in a Gangelt. A small town that was basically the ground zero for the epidemic in Germany. Those numbers do not generalize to Germany as a whole, let alone other countries.

Also, the particular antibody tests they used appears to have a much higher FP rate than they claimed. Another study found 4% FPs rather than <1% like the press release for the Gangelt testing claimed.
Whenever the COVID-19 travel bans are eased in different countries, you could ask someone to get it for you from the US (if you know someone, which may be an impediment). This phone is also sold in the US in an unlocked variant that can be used with any carrier.
> but I have trouble believing that it's bimodal

It surprised me just as much. I cannot speak to the capabilities or thoughts of any given candidate. Ultimately the test was a test of using a single standard API that is based upon a standard model. If it were just a matter of instructions or syntax I suspect a candidate would gotten over that by either asking the right questions, trial and error, using a reference of whatever. I think what really destroyed people was a complete inability to perceive the page as a series of nodes all interconnected with various relationships.

> In my experience, if you give the candidate only one hour, access to documentation only helps with recalling past experience

That is only partially true in this case, because the candidates knew coming in they would have a code filter accessing a page using vanilla JavaScript. I cannot remember if I specifically mentioned refreshing on the DOM methods or not. I might have. This was 8 years ago. But they had at least a day prior notice to catch up on how to interact with a web page using JavaScript using only their code. The time pressure would have applied to the specific tasks asked of the candidates.
That's odd. To me control theory is really an EE topic (granted EE and CS are often part of the same department). I did EECS (and did some control theory as part of the mandatory subjects of study) and it feels like CS/SE people usually have no idea that control theory even exists..
Well, camera is going to be a lot better than 6s, so as the chip. I think overall it's a good upgrade from 6s, but probably I wouldn't go for it to replace my 8.
It converts your regexp into a virtual filesystem and then you can test if a string matches the regexp by converting the string into a path and testing if that path is contained in the filesystem.
Well, RS certainly prepared him for how to deal with the patient dying.

I'm sure he tried to save my beloved RS, too.

I remember reading a Rolling Stone article years ago about neurosurgery residents (7 years) where one of the guys lost something like his first 17 patients on the table (because they're all cases like anyeurisms). He stuck with it and, one night, placed the clamp in a pool of blood to within a mm of perfection to close the bleed. Their training was: learn a procedure, do a procedure.

I am grateful that people like yourselves undergo the arduous process to become an MD.

Good luck and thanks!
That's a verbatim quote from the article, and the point I was trying to make was that the article doesn't conflate them.

It says that the drugs are similar (which they are, both chemically and pharmacologically) and have both received some hype.

As for "politicizing the issue"...I'm a research scientist (and one who sometimes works with immunologists!). The data on CQ/HCQ make it look useless to me. The good trials show garbage effects and only the garbage "trials" seem to show any results. If you think insisting on careful analysis of data is political...good luck to you.
Hm. Yes, it actually does. It's just a nice way of putting it.
Why is all the code in a hard to read font?
> The real power here is in using IP addresses in combination with other fingerprinting techniques.

I didn't think that was anything new.

It also sounds like a possible path for exploit, kind of like not requiring a password when you call voicemail from your own phone (one could spoof your number as the caller id and access your voicemail without a password).
any large-ish system is going to have admission control and stability issues, better design those than leave them to chance...
Although the brain is one of our most important organs it seems we neglect it the most. It seems appropriate to also get a brain check when we do our regular health checks, but most of us don't.

We spend lots of money on medical research but tiny amounts on researching brain illnesses. I'm not saying that we should spend less on other medical conditions - that's not such thing as an unimportant disease, but we should do much more towards ameliorating brain diseases.
> Where does it end though? A phone in one thing; what about a video game console, or pricey sneakers or brand name clothing from the top streetwear brands?

They don’t use those things to talk to their friends. Think of how many things are digital-first or digital-only these days. Their phone is how they literally exist among their peers in society. It is non-optional.
Go do the Stanford drive-through blood antibody tests. It takes five minutes it’s free and they do it for everybody.
I've not heard of this before. The premise sounds incredibly appealing to me, and I am going to try listening:

> For those who haven’t heard (of) The Program audio series before, imagine Black Mirror as a podcast. Every episode is a standalone story set in a future in which Money, State, and God have been fused into a single entity called the Program. The world of the Program is neither a utopia nor a dystopia, as the new system produced both winners and losers - ordinary men and women who are sometimes heroes and sometimes the villains of their own lives. And to them, it is not this future they find terrifying - but our present.

For what it's worth, describing it as a "fictional podcast" is quite confusing. I think it would be better described as a fiction podcast. A "fictional podcast" makes it sound like you were promoting it as if it existed, without actually having made any episodes, i.e. the podcast is fictional rather than being a podcast of fiction.
Damn, I guess I've just been used to just finding a solution myself by merging into the OneTab singlepage, then using an easy to remember url shortener, to pull it up on another machine. Will try the suggestions posted in replies to this, hopefully with make things easier.
Larry David would agree.
> You show up, tell them your address and name, they look up up in the book and give you the ballot.

When they talk about ID they don't mean a document you carry around with you.

They mean the processes that allow someone in England to register to vote, and then walk into a polling booth and give their name and address and get a ballot paper in return.

Using your example: you can't vote twice. You walking into your local station, and use your vote. If you return later in the day your identity is known to have already voted. If you walk to a different polling station your identity is not known there (even if you take your passport), so you can't vote there.
How is Google searches relevant here? Was the news of possible coronovirus outbreak leaked to the public?

Also, do you have a source?
I think we agree.

I don't see a gap in camera-processing for either phones or DSLRs, because the experience sucks on both. But you are right there is a gap between "consumer" software and "pro" software that could be addressed.

I don't know if offloading a bit of processing to your phone from a camera would fix much really. Ergonomics of cameras is much better for taking photos, and there isn't much in there you don't need.

I guess you could get rid of the screen entirely, and some of the user controls. That could be nice but would be difficult from a product point of view, as you would be dependent on the whims of a larger market. See all the difficulties getting standardized on things for car, where there is much more incentive...
It's worth noting that the German study in Gangelt was done because it was considered a hot-spot - this wasn't an attempt to estimate the infection rate across the country. It does however demonstrate that even in places where lots of people have had it, herd immunity still looks a long way off.
> If there’s a risk of a supply run, it would definitely not last very long. For many people there’s alternatives for treating arthritis.

As of the last time I talked to her a couple days ago, my mother still hasn't been able to fill her hydroxychloroquine prescription that she has used to treat lupus for over 30 years. The alternative medications are steroids such as prednisone, which have previously caused dangerous side effects. Due to the useless panic buying, she's is now at severe risk of a bad autoimmune reaction if anything activates her immune system (even from a mild cold; covid-19 would be fatal).

> every country should be ramping up production of it right now instead of letting it be politicized

Yes, they should, but before that happens while supplies are limited, there are people that need the drug for well-established reasons.
I deployed Gloo to production at Tidepool.org in November 2019.

Rock solid tech, responsive team, excellent feature set.
There is burnout across medicine and various other verticals that Technologists hope to retire into. I do think there needs to be a support network to help modern knowledge workers recognize the dignity and value of their labor. Some of the possible exercises could include practicing empathy during the work day, learning to explore where their labor helps the world, and recognizing the things about the systems around us that we cannot change.
And also something that you can partially alleviate with alternative appearances in the FaceID settings, depending on how much of your face you're covering.
This is like the Overton window of phone sizes.

Customer: "We like small form factors, like the SE"

Apple: "Here's a 'small' phone, it's the new SE"

Customer: "Didn't you just make the other phones... larger?"

Apple: "No, this is what small means now. Good day to you!"

In order to reproducibly package a project with venv, you need to manage venv, requirements.in, requirements.lock, setup.py, pip-tools, MANIFEST.in, and maybe some other things that I'm forgetting. It's just unmanageable.
The existence of iOS 14 hasn’t been announced let alone device support.

At the same time people who have diseases which actually require medicines that rely on similar component ingredients are unable to get them.

That's one of the biggest issues with talking up miracle cures. Since it's not been proven, no one is gonna actually put their money behind drastically increasing production (pharma companies, etc. are not gonna put tens of millions of dollars on manufacturing a hunch), but the run on the existing supply means that a lot of people who actually benefited from it (for whom that existing supply was intended) now dont have access to it.

It's a complete lose lose. Even the hoarders don't benefit if it turns out to be beneficial because if it does turn out to be beneficial, production will be ramped up extremely quickly (since it's a known product and process with know side effects, etc...)
Lots of comments here about what this means for asymptomatic spread amongst the housed population.

Is it too obvious to be said that the government needs to house homeless people in hotels immediately, and that group shelters are going to get people killed? 62 comments as of writing and no one is talking about unhoused people as if they are worth considering for their own sake.
I mean, it's not great, but imagine if it was so cheap and fast we could test the entire population on a consistent basis.

In a hypothetical scenario of 1% of the population actually having COVID and 9% testing false positive, you could ask all 10 positive results to self-quarantine and that'd probably be a pretty effective way of shutting down the virus without asking the whole population to stay home.

Once the virus spreads more, it gets even more reasonable. (If it gets crushed more and there are very few cases, it does get a little extreme to call it useful though).
This is no different from how things have always been. When I was growing up the kids who got hand-me-down clothes got picked on. Now it will be the kids with hand-me-down phones.
Is the present purpose of the Standard to:

1. define a highly-extensible abstraction model, which implementations intended for various purposes should be expected to extend to suit those purpose, or

2. define an abstraction model which is sufficiently complete that programs can do everything that would need to be done, without need for extensions?

Reading the C89 and C99 Rationale documents, it's clear that those standards were intended to meet the former purpose. The way some compilers treat "Undefined Behavior", however, suggests that the maintainers view the Standard as aimed toward the latter purpose.

During the 1980s and 1990s, it was generally cheaper and easier for implementations to extend the Standard's abstraction model by specifying that many actions would be processed "in a documented fashion characteristic of the environment" than it would have been to do anything else, so there was no need to worry about whether the Standard allowed programmers to specify when such behavior was required. That no longer holds true, however.

While it would be reasonable to deprecate code which relies upon such treatment without explicitly demanding it, such deprecation would only make sense if there were a means of demanding such treatment when required. For the Committee to provide such means, however, it would have to reach a consensus as to the purposes for which the Standard's abstraction model is meant to be suitable. Are you aware of any such consensus?
I'm having trouble believing that the margins are so close that the position of a 200lb mass on a 68000 lb plane is a significant factor in anything. If true it would suggest that using the lavatories would be a significant event requiring coordination with the stewards and pilot.

The somewhat obvious ones are remote work finally becoming a mass phenomenon - with everything that entails from tools to necessary cultural changes - and a huge increase in further automation.
Yes because people are locked into a complete ecosystem even though there is a $10 adapter...
Haha, I had a consulting client where a VP exec kept referring to "L10 meetings" (which were for the leadership group only), and the devs thought it was an attempted abbrev like "i18n" for "internationalization", or "a11y" for "accessibility".
Well the longest possible according to this data would be 54 days. We don't know the identity of patients who died, could be one of the people who tested positive on Feb 1 (or sometime in early Feb).
Western Digital bought HGST in 2012, started folding them into their business in 2015, and phased out the HGST brand in 2018.
But if you got a new phone it would come with EarPods with a lightning cable so it’s only different if your phone conversations last long enough that battery life is a concern
My understanding is that fish tank chloroquine phosphate is the exact same molecule as the pharmaceutical. You shouldn’t take it because it doesn’t have pharmaceutical quality standards and is very tricky to dose.
It could be. I don't know who designs the iPhones these days, although Jony Ive is claimed to still count Apple as a client of his new company. I don't know if his heart is.

One thing is certain to me, the black front makes the white version incomplete, and noticeably so, as if someone was inching towards "perfection", but then gave up.

I'm still sporting the white iPhone 7, btw.
Nobody ever cared. The names are confusing (the virus is named after the disease, and the disease after the virus), and the virus name obtuse. The obvious consequence is that nobody ever used the virus name, and never will.

The best you can hope for is for people to call it the "COVID19 virus".
> Your job should be helping your people get where they want to go

This sounds nice, and from the perspective of the direct report, sure, this is the mindset that you want your managers to have. That said, your manager isn't necessarily incentivized by the company to optimize for this. What's best for the employee isn't necessarily what's best for the company.
