I've never heard of Switch, but to my knowledge there is nothing about Maestro that integrates specifically with the German banking system. It just so happens that German debit cards are typically co-branded as Maestro (and nowadays sometimes V-Pay), which is why it was commonly accepted. The fact that fees were lower than credit cards probably played a significant role in that.

When the EU capped the interchange fees in 2015, many retailers started accepting MasterCard and Visa here. AMEX is exempt from the regulation since it's a three-party system and less commonly accepted. I'm not aware of any retailers that accept MC/Visa debit, but not credit cards or vice versa.

Some might reason that that yields additional hardening to traditional TLS-enabled webmail applications.

Your comment is so characteristic of our times - laser focused on capital markets, as if that was "the real world".

I'm talking about violent protests in the streets. About your cousin graduating and not being able to find a job even at McDonalds, for years. Overthrown governments. People stealing and going on rampages because they have no money to feed their children. People drinking themselves to death because it's the n-th year without a job, or any other social purpose.

On the political front - every day this goes on we're getting higher and higher probability of super redistributive policies (I don't want to use the S word or the C word).

On the geopolitical front - have you seen that China has kicked out most western reporters in the middle of all of this? Or that Japan wants to "repatriate" factories, and their government has already secured funding for that? Or do you still remember the Trump trade war, and perhaps know what happened last time the world was engaged in a serious trade war in the 1930s ?

29 out of 33 pregnant women who tested positive at Columbia University Medical in NYC were also asymptomatic:

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/85965

With other viruses, pregnant women are typically considered at elevated risk. For example, they had a significantly higher fatality rate with the Spanish Flu. So it's still unclear who is most likely to be asymptomatic based on the data we have so far.
Speaking as someone who bought a FLIR camera _because_ that hack made reasonable features available at a reasonable price, I think it's important to consider the market effect that such a hack, if properly managed, can have.

Corporations aren't gonna buy a camera and hack it. If a professional thermographer is telling her customers that she's using an E8, the bezel had better say E8 on it. But today's hobbyists may be tomorrow's corporations (My employer bought a C2 after I got sick of bringing in my E4/8), and brand recognition and experience have value.

And as has been said, if they have more of the high-spec units than they're selling (or the low-spec ones were a way to use up crap-binned sensors but might get good sensors too), then selling "the same" hardware cheaper might make good market sense. As long as they're not losing money on it...

I do wonder if someone might've wink-wink-nudge-nudge hinted that these units can do more than they're specced, Mike, you should tear one down... and then sales of that unit went absolutely through the roof. I know tons of people who have one now, and not a single one of us would've paid the E8 MSRP for it, and maybe only two of us would've found the E4 crap resolution useful.

Rigol took a different tack, and started simply giving away the decoders that everyone was hacking them to enable anyway.

It still exceeds average seasonal mortality rates, see https://www.euromomo.eu
Now hopefully we can get a better estimate of the range of the latent period. That these cases are asymptomatic does not mean they won't show symptoms at some later date. It also does not mean they are invulnerable to reinfection, and if this virus indeed has Antibody Dependent Enhancement like SARS, this could create an extremely dangerous setup for a second wave with a significantly higher, order of magnitude, death rate.

All of the bits and pieces are floating around in papers, hopefully they won't be confirmed like everything else that started as errant literature.
True! Actually, I was able to recover some of my lost bookmarks using the Internet Archive. That made me love it even more, eventually leading to my choice of the Wayback Machine.
If you're not testing a sizeable enough sample of the population, then whatever number of cases you give has to be taken with a rather large helping of salt.

For example, my country's CDC has the official number of confirmed cases in the low hundreds with a dozen deaths, but anyone wise enough knows that between the ridiculously low number of samples tested (less than ten thousand in a population of a couple hundred million), the poor public health infrastructure, the anaemic government response and general public health illiteracy, the real number of cases is easily an order of magnitude or two higher.

> Adding any layer for clients to fetch data introduces another layer of complexity and if you have graphql purely to surface something that could be queried directly then it is definitely overhead.

It's not just overhead, there are a lot of benefits to it as well. I've worked a few places that just have all their applications talk to the same database and have had enormous issues.

Firstly, there is the issue of failing over to secondary databases. You can build it into GraphQL to just have it fail over to secondaries. With raw SQL, each application has to handle that sanely, and the chances that they all do is slim. You could put something like pgbouncer in front of it, but at that point you're still adding that layer of complexity.

You'll also have those people that crush the database with poorly optimized queries. GraphQL lets me choose what queries I allow, so no one can lock the database for an hour doing something insane. SQL doesn't give you a lot of tools for that; especially not when some people are supposed to be allowed to lock the database for an hour and others are not.

GraphQL also knows whether the query is a read or write operation; they're separate in GraphQL. You can sanely route read queries to replicas and pass write queries to the master. This is harder in SQL, and involves parsing the statements that come through. It's still doable, but again, you'll still need another layer before the SQL server to do it (pgbouncer implements this, I think).

I'm not saying GraphQL is the only answer to this, but I have yet to see any implementation of "all the clients just connect to our DB" that worked well.
I think this Economist visualization tracking excess mortality should give you the answers you're looking for: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/04/16/tracking...
You’ve managed to completely ignore why we had a lock down; it’s not about preventing total infections, although that would be nice, it’s about preventing a spike of infections that overwhelms the medical system.
I definitely want to know. But it seems like Swedish public policy is that the current measures are the strictest sustainable ones, so they're going to maintain them until strict measures are no longer needed. It's not clear that early visibility of a spike would change that.
Is this a feature or a product? How about 9 months from now? There is a genuine concern with startups built "atop of" another product. There is a thin line between alive and dead in that space. Twitter devs can tell you a thing or two about it.

Hopefully this is a catapult or an entry point. All the best, regardless.

I hate to be that person, but I find the use of an accordion collapse for the article sections to be unnecessary and exasperating. I tried a page search for "automation" and the browser showed one hit, but I couldn't find where the word was due to the collapse feature. What does hiding text with an accordion add to the experience? Why not just publish a full article? Ugh.
It's very certainly faster by a healthy margin, with slightly worse build quality and a worse screen.
Thanks. Just custom. We built the original core in 36 hours and the landing page looked a bit different then, intending to be simple and barebones. My mother in law asked when I was going to finish the design, so I redid it instead.
Ideally, the grocery stores or Instacart will add this functionality so it's baked in to the pickup experience. I honestly wouldn't mind if they did that and effectively forced us to shut down the app. This is a feature they should already have! And there are a lot of examples of people making something that's effectively a feature for an existing product, and that existing product building it.

The selfish route would have been to keep this to ourselves. We talked through the ethical implications of this and decided it was better to make it easier for everyone rather than just us. If everyone uses it and is able to grocery shop less often because they feel less food stress, things are improved.

We also purposefully don't support delivery slot since we think those should be only for people who can't drive or don't have a car, and delivery is more risky health-wise for delivery workers (who may have to visit 10+ different stores in a day).

There are definitely equity issues though. We've considered adding a prompt for people to donate to World Central Kitchen while waiting for a slot, for example.
>There is nothing awful about PGP. The tools are more than sufficient.

Disagree on both counts, and I'm not one of those Signal zealots or an "email-is-deprecated" hipster.

Suppose you want to use gpg to encrypt Gmail conversations. Your workflow is basically copy-pasting text into and out of a text editor and then attaching the ciphertext to the email and sending it.

Using GPG (correctly) is a colossal pain in the ass. In a lot of ways it reminds me of git: inconsistent and confusing UI/UX, obtuse documentation, footguns around every corner.

If you truly grok the internal mechanics, then {gpg,git} can be a good and productive tool. But that bar of grokking the internals is too high for casuals and so there's a plateau of adoption that's inevitable.

This book astounds me. The depths they went to achieve millionth of inch accuracy was crazy. That book is quite expensive and rare it seems. I have a copy but it was 100$+ dollars.

I don't follow. I'm not ignoring that. We locked down to prevent a spike, and in many places the spike has been successfully prevented, so those places are now figuring out how to open up. Some people say that this is irresponsible - that nobody should open up until the coronavirus can be eradicated - but this isn't realistic and isn't what public health officials think should happen.
> over the web

So this confuses a few things. Technically you are right in that TLS applies to the transport layer (layer 4) while both web and email are application layer (layer 7), but then the question is how to apply it for email in practice that differs from manual key exchange?

Web mail uses web (port 80 or 443) to communicate to a web server email application where the email is blasted out as regular email (most likely as SMTP over port 25). Since the first leg is regular web traffic regular web rules apply, but only to that first leg. Applications like Outlook and Thunderbird are not webmail and do not use web traffic to send/receive email.
Of course the answer for OP is reading and working through taocp, that practice makes you better which is why Knuth spent his life writing these books even if technically, they are as the Knuth states just a study of 'alg a compared to alg b' the byproduct is more practice that OP is looking for.
> 20% of the human race died off in the Spanish Flu pandemic

The most generous estimate for the 1918 flu death toll is 100 million, which is 5% of the population. Still massive, but not 20%.[1]

Perhaps you're confusing it with the % of the population that contracted it?

Quote: "Next, I tried exporting my public key to a file. Your public key must be sent to anyone to whom you send an encrypted email. The receiver of your message needs it to decrypt your message."

Wrong. You do need to send your or publish your public key in order for others to send you encrypted email. Messages are encrypted with public key and decrypted by you with your private key.

This is the very base that async crypto is based on.

My 2017 13" Macbook Pro has seriously had garbage battery since the day I got it. I'm lucky to get 4 hours from it doing light browsing in Safari.

Comparatively, my 2014 13" Macbook Air had the best battery I've ever had. Routinely got 10 hours + doing the same thing.

And now, I have "service battery" in the tray icon. Cycle count: 101. After the battery is below 60%, any kind of "heavy load" (i.e. gcc) will just turn the thing off like a power cut.

Worst part is I can't even take it to get repaired because I'm stuck in SE asia under lock-down.
Given that mortality rate is closely tied to the availability of ventilators, it would be catastrophically short sighted to not react to a spike with strong, short term measures.
I considered Spacemacs, because I used Vim extensively in the past (and still use it for some tasks), but I felt that Vim emulation in Emacs would only hinder my understanding of Emacs and steepen the learning curve. So I ended up incorporating useful bits and pieces from Spacemacs into my .emacs config, but stayed with native Emacs key bindings. I'm comfortable with my choice, but please change my mind if you feel like it.

The CDC claims[1] influenza caused 61,000 and 34,157 in 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively, in the USA.

That really only reinforces the headline though.
This is a problem I faced which contributed to giving up my day job in front of a computer. The ongoing solution for me started by going to an exercise based physiotherapist.

Simplified, the anterior muscle chain (muscles along the front of your body) are over activated and are not working in balance with your posterior chain. The muscles in front are shorter and stronger. In back they are weaker and elongated. This especially in hunched forward posture and neck tension.

The muscles in front also work harder to hold your body upright as you are probably used to 'thinking' with the front of your body. Instead of being evenly balanced and distributed properly from the hips and up through the spine.

This is a simplification and each muscle in the body tends to have complementary and opposing muscles. Each individual will manifest problems in different areas and require strengthening and stretching accordingly.

My current physio has a Pilates studio and focuses on strengthening and stretching tailored to me. Not cheap but for me it has helped to identify and rethink how I move in an intuitive movement focused manner. 60 per week for an hour session so not prohibitive.

Also Alot of problems tend to have issues rooted in the glutes and hip flexors, I.e. an imbalance down there at the body's structural core manifest up through the spinal and muscle chain. This being the case with me I do a lot of glute work and hip flexor work as well as upper and lower back strengthening etc.

Eventually going to a gym or something similar being the goal, i suggest to start with a good excercise based physio, ones who do Pilates seem to have the right science & body mechanics approaches, to establish good form (which can be quite non intuitive if you have under active and over active muscles).. starting out at the gym may be overreaching and may compound imbalances... a good instructor may help but start at the physio imho.

Good luck!

The number of cases China is reporting in travelers arriving from Russia strongly suggests that Russia is significantly underreporting the scope of its outbreak.
> Singapore already has, right?

Nope. Singapore “locked down” 10 days ago shutting down all schools and non-essential services in what the government has been calling a “circuit breaker”, and the locals have been playfully shortening to “CB”, the short-form of the local Hokkien colloquialism referring to a woman’s genitals. Despite this the number of daily new cases keeps rising and today’s numbers are a new high (again).
What part of "setting a charging threshold" is "micromanaging". The entire motivation of being able to set a charge threshold is to get the software to do it, instead of being just plain silly by forcing yourself to change your plug in / unplug habits.
Zoom is just where we start (huge distribution channel and the most developed platform). As soon as you build your own WebRTC based thing... you're nuking millions of existing video based workflows you could otherwise tap into to create value. There are several 2-3 year older than us companies that are doing quite well hooking into the data generated from all the VC platforms without providing the VC service themselves.

But yes, this was def the #1 objection of VCs when we raised our seed round. Fortunately we got others to believe that the first move we just launched is just one of many in a strategy sequence. Time will tell.

It's not about choosing a different registry for all your modules, which will almost always be a commercial for-profit entity due to the cost of running and maintaining a centralized repository of that scale. AFAIK, or as far as I can envision, it's about a future where we can have the repository be a decentralized graph. It's definitely more challenging but we won't be dependent on one or few companies to host all modules. What do you think of that idea? My point is Ryan was right to avoid recreating dependence on commercial for-profit entities.
