That’s fine as long as you are able to keep that position but leaves you increasingly vulnerability to chance events as the years pass. Entire companies have imploded despite being made to appear healthy, like Enron. A personality conflict with one well-connected person could have them try to push you out. Any number of things. If two hypothetical people competed in the job market with similar skill sets but a twenty year age difference I know which one I’d expect to see hired first.

I’m sure that’s not actually true for you anyway since it would be really hard to not gain an immense breadth of knowledge from twenty years of constant industry exposure. Breadth might not pay as well as depth, but you probably aren’t giving yourself enough credit if it felt so gradual.

It's a totally intuitive thing, but after a few years of using something you stop trying to intuit as much and are just doing the things you know work.

Hoarders suck, especially super hoarders like this.
I just add all the variations of curse words to my dictionary which tends to take care of that issue.

I favor the gesture input, and it's surprising how many words have similar swype patterns for the keys.
Smart idea. Cancelling my prime membership also.

For a company that is known for the one-click-buy, they definitely make it hard to cancel.

Had to go through app - website - German website ( that's a first) - "click here to cancel" ( doesn't do anything, but found something on the same page "I do not want to use my advantages" does seem to do the trick).

I kinda hate what some companies/people are currently doing though.

Also, some people are really stepping up like Bill Gates, but I don't know if it will be enough.

Not too different from MS not being first line support for your Thinkpad, but offering more for surface laptops.

I'm still under update coverage for my Pixel 2XL, haven't felt compelled to upgrade at all. i do wish more handsets supported using Lineage or another open variant/option for after coverage expires at least.
Or are you too remote from people who would be dying.
That is totally not true across the board. I know for a fact that at one point the big online travel sites (booking.com, expedia.com) were some of the largest buyers of adwords among any companies. Can guarantee that is not happening now.

I would guess spend is up only among companies that still have robust revenue. Tons of sectors have essentially been frozen for the time being.
If each phone generated 500 numbers per day, then TimeIntervalNumber is a number in the range of 1...500. So generate 500 codes using all of the numbers in that range. If any of those 500 codes match one of the codes that you actually saw in the wild, then you were near that person.
JDBC doesn't require the oracle client software to be installed?

-- edit

Apparently Java is the one platform that Oracle supports without a separate driver install... Though their driver is probably itself written in Java.
It also saves a lot of extra work. Often with more conventional systems you have to pull the data out. Move it into a structure native to the language doing the processing.

In the database you don't need to do any of this. The data is there. The type information is there.

Mostly due to a few small things.

Lee bought a few material things, but he was mostly able to live out of his backpack for years at a time, at least before he got married. He didn't have many material desires (no fancy car, clothes, or big gaming computer). He periodically lived on other people's couches (including mine) between starting university and getting married.

I remember he drove through at least a few red lights because he was in the zone deep in thought processing some coding concepts / business plans in his mind while driving. Once I noticed this, I didn't let him drive me; instead he started to code on his laptop in my passenger seat.

When we were waiting in line to rent a UHaul-type truck, he was pacing the retail waiting area thinking through some coding for a future Unspam feature. I remember it because the guy standing behind me saw him as a stranger threat and started to get anxious that Lee was pacing in a hoodie nearby. I mention it because he never concentrated much on the small daily tasks like waiting in line and mostly overloaded those tasks to optimize his long term goals (eg. startup success).

He didn't write big architecture docs (possibly the part of his work that didn't scale much), but his mental capacity to juggle lots of small facts and tasks was pretty incredible. It worked great with a small team with very low turnover. I miss those days when I just checked in with him 2-3 times a day rather than having to spend a lot of mental effort to figure out how to serialize lots of trivial stories/subtasks into Jira.
The data partition used to be FAT32 and plugging the Android into USB with the mass storage option would unmount the partition and then the Android emulates a USB mass storage device to expose the block-level contents of the partition to the host computer. Note that this couldn't be done with the system partition, since the Android system itself is running on it; and even if it was unmountable, the filesystem would be a Linux one like ext3 or ext4, making it unreadable to a Windows host. In the newer versions, they combined the two partitions into one with a Linux filesystem, so there would no longer be a separate data partition to unmount from the Android and mount on the host.

The idea I'm proposing is to turn VVFAT or an equivalent idea into a kernel module that treats the data directory --- or indeed any --- directory on the Android, including the system one, as the "host" since it has a filesystem-application interface on one side that just uses the normal filesystem calls, and expose the virtual FAT filesystem over USB mass storage on the other side.
I mean, I very literally am advocating for a more limited government. I'm advocating for them to stop doing something they are currently doing.

Any definitional gymnastics here are yours
I would be interested in seeing more of these API Gateways offer monetization / billing capabilities in their dev portal. So far I've only seen Apigee[1] and WSO2[2] offer this. Azure appears to have this "planned" in their product roadmap[3] while AWS uses their marketplace[4].

Can they simply offer a “no ads/no bulk mail” USPS+ option? $5/month? I’d be happy to pay it. It would save a lot of processing costs and trees too.

I’m not sure what they are making more than that off my mailbox per month now though.
Thanks for this Chuck.
The other side of the argument is also just an opinion. What’s your point?

The way I read it is that we have no reason to think the economic drop would be less severe if we didn’t have a shutdown. This is because people dying could hurt the economy just as much, if not more.

It is assuming facts not in evidence to suggest the economy would be better off with more deaths but less of a lockdown.
Please god no. Gaming is one of the last bastions of owning your bits. It kills off tinkering, modding, poking around asset data, and yes, some cheating. But you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

There is already too much rent-seeking in gaming.

If no food is available, sure. If other food is available, no way. Are people starving in the US yet due to food unavailability?

Just an oversight :)
The Saudis no longer control enough oil to explain it.

But maybe it's all connected to Epstein, or rather to the group that he ostensibly headed. That would account for the links to both Israel and Saudi Arabia. And there's the possibly that they're blackmailing many senior politicians from the US and who knows how many other countries.[0]

That’s the wrong question. The right one is whether the economic downturn would be worse if we had a multiple amount of deaths.

Additionally, we have saved lives (and animal lives) by shutting down parts of the economy. That should be included as a silver lining to the whole thing.
I'm curious what's the roadmap for the npm CLI tool. Any word?
It feels very laggy? Definitely not running in 60fps.
I don't see how any of this would increase the time to evaluate a given study participant beyond ~2 weeks? Regarding what you said about prophylaxis, the study page specifies that participants will either:

* Have had close contact with a known positive individual within the past 4 days (but not have any symptoms themselves yet).

* Have developed symptoms (and tested positive) within the past 4 days.

Technically that's not really a prophylaxis, but it's early enough that it's practically the same thing. It's also more representative of how we would be likely to employ the medication in the real world. (Also I don't see how it would be ethical to intentionally expose people, and waiting for people to be inadvertently exposed seems impractical for a number of reasons).

Edit: Whoops. I had slightly confused the smaller PATCH trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04329923) and the larger University of Minnesota one (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04308668). It looks like the PATCH trial is indeed only testing actual prophylaxis in healthcare workers, and specifies a two month period for each participant in the trial.
I'm sorry, that sounds awful. I think it definitely could be any combination of those things. The brain is a very delicate and sensitive machine.

I don't have specific recommendations, but I think that the potential for recovery should be much higher than what people with neurodegenerative diseases suffer from, like what was described in this article.

There're a lot of risk and uncertainty trade-offs, and everyone reacts to things differently due to their genetics and what they're suffering from, but nootropic substances could potentially help here. They could possibly help as a short-term aid that improves memory and attention to detail while the nootropic is in effect, and some can actually potentially create long-term improvements.

They're very under-studied, and they definitely require a lot of careful research, gradual self-testing, and acceptance of some risk (some nootropics have almost no risk, and some have a moderate level), but it could be worth looking into.
I think there's delay regardless of the refresh rate.
It's not their fault.

The disease hit New York first before it hit anywhere else in the US and hence had a lot of time to develop. I heard from one source, that it was already present in New York back in december and that one of the first worldwide cases came to New york early. that was from a Joe Rogan podcast episode.
> is it possible to do that without having to use the CLI? Are you doing any sort of state locking here?

Yeah it's just a file if you prefer to edit it. By default, Pulumi uses our hosted service so you don't need to think about state or locking. That said, if you don't want to use that, you can manage state on your own[1]. At this time, you also need to come up with a locking strategy. Most of our end users pick the hosted service -- it's just super easy to get going with.

> Do you have any plans of releasing something like the Terraform Registry to help with discoverability?

I expect us to do that eventually, absolutely. For us it'll be more of an "index" of other package managers since you already have NPM and PyPI, etc. But definitely get that it's helpful to find all of this in one place -- as well as knowing which ones we bless and support.

> Also, do you have any docs on writing providers?

We have boilerplate repos that help you get started:

1) Native providers: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-provider-boilerplate

2) Terraform-based providers: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-tf-provider-boilerplate

These packages are inherently multi-language and our code-generator library will generate the various JavaScript, Python, Go, C#, etc, client libraries after you've authored the central Go-based provider schema.

> Is that the preferred workflow here for providers that already exist in the Terraform ecosystem?

Yes. We already have a few dozen published (check the https://github.com/pulumi org when in question). In general, we will support any Terraform-backed provider, so if you have one that's missing that you'd like help with, just let us know. We have a Slack[2] where the team hangs out if you want to chat with us or the community.

That's the thing. The battery is still healthy and it looks like it retains 90% of its capacity on the Battery Health setting page. I bought my SE very late into its lifecycle (June 2018), so I'm not sure why it's acting this way. I have had a problem with the phone rapidly losing charge in cold weather though. Did you also have severe battery drain on your SE on iOS 13 before replacing the battery?
Great.

With a filesystem that understands the layout, they're almost as good as normal hard drives. With a filesystem that understands the layout and $3 of flash, you can make something that solidly outperforms a normal hard drive, at a much lower cost.

Also tape drives are too expensive for normal consumers.

One very large difference is that even at the height of the supply problem (store stock levels are pretty much back to normal now), suppliers weren't out of food or unable to restock the stores. There was plenty of food being supplied to the stores, but people were arriving very early in the morning and buying up as much as possible. Once limits were imposed, this started coming under control.
That's the issue, it seems that to conclude on its case would mean discrediting the whole publication structure (system too easy to rig by flooding)

I wish medias would do broader panels to discuss varied POVs rather than one ~icon.
Oh, I was thinking about this the wrong way -- I had read it as Android's ability to mount USB OTG mass storage devices plugged into the phone.

I agree with you, if the internal filesystem can't be mounted as a filesystem on most PCs then there should be some sort of virtual/emulation layer.

You're principled minnows to that one profitable shark.

These companies understand profit, and that's where they derive their morality. I'd say it's probably more accurate that most US companies simply don't share your morals, not that they don't have morals at all.

Yeah. In this case I just think it's a matter of pragmatism. Principles aside, I think there'll just be more adoption if it's opt-in instead of mandatory. Maybe not in other countries, but I think that's probably how it'd go in America.

I have the exact opposite opinion. Don’t take my word for it, grab any Apple phone made in 2017 (worth about 99 bucka today) vs any entry to low mid ($100-400ish) android and the iphone will kick ass in most regards.

I long for the freedom of android and use iPhones reluctantly only because i really think they are a good value at almost any price point.
Have you not seen news of people in the US not able to buy any normal food for weeks, and having to subsist on things like potato chips, and instant noodles?

And, yeah. Having a double digit of your (American) population being socially marginalised, relying on unreliable food stamp program, and having no alternative to junk food should've also been called a genuine food crisis long ago.

Famines do happen even when there is food on the shelves, like in Yemen, early nineties China, or late ussr.
The were not and never cancel out, so remove the negation. The subjective asserts the horse thing was necessary, not merely sufficient, so be sure there is no college in the other branch. Also throw on some asserts as the non-horse non-college possible world is not the real one.

I spent most of my time with him when he only starting a family and his business tasks were few. Most of the symptoms described in this article happened after his family and work responsibilities grew, which both reduced his time for MMORPG / RTS gaming. When his older son was old enough, they would play casual games together, but that's a completely different realm of proficiency required.
Exactly.

We've seen supply runs on certain popular shelf-stable starches.

I've never yet walked into a grocery store and been unable to leave with a variety of good foods, nor have I seen pictures of bare shelves. Sections, sure; last time I went to the grocery store, tortillas were cleared out for some reason.

These are supply shocks. To date, we have more than enough wheat for everyone who wants to eat it, and the mills are still producing abundant flour. What's straining is the system that delivers as much to the shelves as people are in the mood to buy.
I wonder if there’s a price point at which only people who actually want to play fair would join. If you’re cheating anyways, it doesn’t make as much sense to pay large sums of money to be on a server where people aren’t cheating.

Alternatively, servers where certain categories of cheats are allowed, so if you just prefer playing with a minimap you can be with like-minded people.

This is assuming the mind of a cheater is “I prefer playing in this mode”, rather than “I want to win a lot of fake internet pints”. Idk which is more accurate.
