Respectfully, this seems like a you problem. Most people are more tolerant of the uncertainty and seem content to wait for a clear trend of decline that can be extrapolated toward a target date. Nobody knows for sure how this is going to play out, and a wait-and-see approach is broadly preferred to a premature leap towards what might be a false place of safety.

O_o what the heck are you trying to run in a home lab where that isn't enough? I currently run 20+ containers per NUC in my home lab. I have plenty of capacity left and nothing else to really run...
Thanks for the feedback. I will be adding a api connected version in the future but will work on making that clear.

There isn’t a login so I technically cannot log you out right now. Either way a menu in the app would be helpful to direct users back to the homepage.
I hope you realize not everyone running python is running web apps. There are huge companies that use python for automation and they all run from some computer grid storage (usually NFS) and are imported in the same environment as the client instead of having a server side environment separated from the client side environment.
Why run ESXi at all and not just install CentOS directly on the NUC?
Thank you. Will take a look and fix.

*> Previously to moving to iPhoto (regretted a lot)

I used iPhoto for a while and am actively considering buying a used one to run it on again for family photos. What didn't you like about it, and is there anything that can take the metadata from iPhoto and translate it?
As a googler (opinions are my own) in payments that gets to see that side of things, I'd disagree with you.

To be able to do the Irish haven, Google is and was abiding by all laws in doing it. Google was doing what all the lawmakers of various countries allowed, and they allowed it for a long time. It also only impacted a portion of Google's overall revenue. It also led to Google having a fairly massive presence in Ireland, which I'm sure the people employed there are happy with.

As countries have been figuring out how to tax companies like Google, they have been forcing them to create local entities so all business with people in those countries can be taxed locally. I can tell you this was not a simple thing for companies like Google to conform to (massive amounts of work by lots of people to bill locally).

You can see if you are billed locally based on the company your invoice or payment is collected under.

Thanks for the links, this is good stuff!
> This would predict that a query that has no advertising income will return no results, which is clearly not the case.

I was about to say there are no such queries but then I remembered having to type a captcha for seemingly automated queries. The captcha page has no results on it obviously. This is because automated queries do not produce advertising revenue. You have to buy them.

I've typed an insane number of queries since the beginning. A decade ago I use to be able to find truly exotic articles, I could find every obscure blog posting on every blog with 3 readers and I was pretty sure google delivered all of it. The tiny communities that came with the supper niche topics rarely produced a link I didn't already find. If they did it was new and I didn't google for a while.

Today google feels like it is a pre-ordered list from which it removes the least matching articles. Only if the match is truly shit will it be moved slightly down the page. The most convincing in this is typing first name + last name queries in imagines and getting celeberties who only have the first or the last name.

People wont go, it has to get much worse before they do.

Awesome idea. I did have a chrome extension as a future feature I wanted to work on.
There are a lot of factors, but AFAIK the main dynamics are:

- We primarily fund schools through states (federal funding is < 10% on average)

- States are largely funded via regressive taxes (like sales and property taxes)

- Until Trump's tax law this was all deductible from federal taxes. Now it's just property taxes and it's limited to $10k (which is pretty high, we're talking a $333k property w/ 3% property tax)

So effectively what happens is everyone pays a flat tax to fund schools, then people wealthy enough to pay income or capital gains taxes get their school payments subsidized by the federal government.

It's also important to note that many private schools are religious and pay no taxes at all. They also receive lots of federal benefits via federally funded and run intermediary organizations. Finally, charitable giving to religious organizations (including schools) is tax deductible.

The effect of all this is a huge education subsidy for high income earners and the wealthy. Couple this with the total lack of redistributive policies for educational funding, and you get what NPR calls "a money problem" [1].

And if education is the silver bullet, what we're counting on to lift people out of poverty, and what we point to when we talk about "equal opportunity", then the future looks dim indeed.

That's primarily why I listed all of the typical state taxes. When you combine property tax, state income tax, and sales tax, it can come pretty close to the federal income tax.

Point taken, though. I probably should have qualified income tax by calling it "state income tax." Quite a few people who read this board live in countries other than the USA. Thanks for pointing it out.

"Network switch"
There was a lot of cognitive dissonance going on at the beginning of March. The mayor actually took a special ride on the subway to reassure the public and said something to the effect that you were unlikely to contract it on the subway since the CDC said it generally spread when you were exposed to someone infected within 6 feet for 15 minutes. It was clear to everyone that is exactly how people ride the subway except for the mayor who never rides it. I’m lucky that I can WFH as needed and when the first positive case came to NYC decided to WFH and see how things went and obviously haven’t been to the office since. I don’t think shutting it down would have been possible but just encouraging people to work from home earlier would have helped reduce ridership.

When it costs you nothing to add a clause to a contract, you don't need to come up with a plausible scenario for how something could happen, you only need to foresee the logical possibility of it occurring for any reason whatsoever.

This one's from a different company (BioMedomics) and it was a random test of people pulled straight off the streets. Happened at an entirely different geographical area (Chelsea, Massachusetts) as well. I don't want to be too optimistic but there are some signs that we are heavily under-counting the actual number of cases (at least in the US).

Every study on coronavirus antibodies that's released gets panned here, yet every single one of them show strong enough evidence that infection is more widespread and death rates lower than widely assumed.

Even if every one of them is flawed, all the information taken as an aggregate paints a picture. In my province (Alberta, Canada) the health authority has recently expanded tested and as a result there's more confirmed cases and a lower death rate. Other health authorities in the country have strongly suggested infection rates are much higher than confirmed cases (which lowers the death rate since every single death is being accounted for in our country).

So there's concerns with this study, and maybe another, but there's no evidence to counter the conclusion we're seeing again and again.
> EPA enforcement has been drastically relaxed to allow a bit more freedom

EPA enforcement has been relaxed because the toxic sludge dumpers with influence in the Trump Administration have always wanted to gut environmental regulations and avoid legal liability for giving their neighbors cancer, but now they have a convenient excuse.
That sounds like an allusion to a Yogi Berraism, but I don't think it really is.

When I lived downtown within a 10 minute walk of work, it was pretty nice, but most of the space was not apartments; it was commercial. Offices, restaurants, etc. In fact, my apartment was a converted hotel - the sort of place I couldn't hope to afford in NYC or DC.

So, isn't it kind of normal for central urban areas to be too dense and high rent for (normal) people to live in?

Conversely, I'm living within city limits now, but practically it's indistinguishable from (and adjoining) "suburbs" so saying people need to live in this sort of place instead seems meaningless to me.
that's one way to look at it, but it's rarely this clear cut. usually the system is initially built from P1+P2+P3+...PN that are wired together in a somewhat sane manner and do the job.

enter joe, that thinks P2 is over-engineered and thinks he can do a a better job without understanding why P2 is the way it is or why it was even built like this.

joe proceeds to replace P2 with P2'+P2a+P2b that kind-of get the job done but make the system a little bit more complicated. Joe gets a promotion for being a doer and improving "complicated shit".

Now, imagine armies of Joes picking up the least complicated part of the system and making their contribution. The initially sane and straightforward components get replaced with increasingly more complicated ones.

In the end, everything is so complex that no progress can be made.

That's how that works. Take for example, HIV. Nobody dies of HIV, but because HIV causes immunodeficiency, you can die because of common cold or flu. That doesn't mean the person died because of common cold, they died because of HIV/AIDS.

Similarly if you have type 1 diabetes and you get infected with corona, you probably died with diabetic complications, but without corona you would have been totally fine.

Not sure how that doesn't change your point. In fact you are conflating two different things. On one hand you are arguing about overreporting and on the other hand don't even want to take into consideration common practices in disease statistics. Almost makes me think you are not arguing in good faith.
I think you're dead right but it goes even deeper. With more bugs the company starts evaluating devs on their ability to fix bugs and put out fires. Eventually the devs who can build a sane product are squeezed out and all the devs are good at is fixing bugs rather than introducing fewer bugs in the first place.

I noticed this when working as a dev in the finance industry. The devs who put out the most fires got the biggest bonuses and float to the top so they have a say in hiring and hire more people like themselves. A textbook case of Gresham's Law.
After reading the whole article, I was still wondering why they didn't just put the center of the frequencies on the even numbers. Then I realized that's not the order in which they decided what to do.

Alas, I’m writing Go for an open source project I’m interested in, not for work
I don't expect a target date from them, I expect something like "we will re-open (partially, with such and such mitigations still in place) if and only if cases decline monotonically over a period of 7 days and we have 30,000 free hospital beds and 10 million N95 masks in stock".
The original "confusopoly" link talked almost exclusively about pricing, and for good reason: pricing is based on numbers, which humans are bad at but computers are very good at, and every product in the catalog has a price, so it's easy to take the same tactic and apply it to all of the products.

I'm not sure trying to confuse people about whether a shirt has stripes on it would make as much sense. The purchaser seems likely to give up on picking an ideal shirt and just go with the cheapest result.

I've been prone to ear and sinus infections since I was a kid. Apparently I have narrow sinuses. I end up with a sinus infection nearly every time I get sick.

To be fair, I find the sound quality lacking on most ear buds, even expensive ones.

When it comes to low frequencies, the size of cone makes a difference. You'll never get the same kind of bass from an earbud as an over the ear headphone or a speaker.

Music just isn't the same without bass or with lackluster bass. Bassvin most tracks is the bridge between melody and rythym and in many genres actually carries the song. If I had a choice between high quality treble and lakcluster bass, like most ear buds offer, despite, marketing and lousy high end with full bass, id' take the latter every time.

> Very curious about how Go getting generics will change its position in the landscape

Go cannot get generics because "conservative politics" in its community period. A lot of prominent gatekeepers are all about the status quo.

There are a few things Go could do to make it easier to work with, ease "type equivalence", introduce some covariance into the mix. Maybe unions, maybe replace multiple return types with tuples and destructuring assignement.

I don't believe a second Go will ever get generics and the courageous proposal done by Ian Lance Taylor, the hero of the language right now, won't really satisfy anybody because it's too complex yet doesn't do that much IMHO.

This is purely a political question, not a technical one. We had that debate for almost 10 years now and I dread more petty drama.

Can the tanker just take the oil it's holding to the buyer, then replace it at profit?

Bob needs a tanker to bring oil to Matt.

Tanker brings Joe's oil to Matt, and replaces the oil at a profit.
This looks like it's supposed to be a Bitcoin-like system that sends newly-printed crypto-tokens to users who exercise.

How does the blockchain know who exercised? The user's FatBat device tells a server that the user exercised. The server tells the blockchain who the newly printed tokens go to.

There are some big trust problems:

- Trust the user not to attach their FatBat to a drill to trick its sensors into thinking the user's exercising.

- Trust the user not to hack the FatBat device (physically controlled by the user) so the device lies about how much the user exercises.

- Trust the communication channel between the server and the FatBat can't be proxied or intercepted.

- Trust the server doesn't lie to the money-printing part of the blockchain about who exercised, or how much they exercised.

How is this a defense from corruption? The judicial is gated by the corruption from authority. This process is why judges are largely grouped into conservative or liberal appointments...because the Supreme Court Judge positions are almost always the result of a specific political environment. At any given point in time, there is a large pool of technically qualified judges. Who gets vetted (politically) is the topic of discussion, in the confirmation hearings.

> millions of engineer-hours, and the result was better Unicode support and a handful of minor features

Yes, and I wish the better Unicode support had been implemented similarly to how Go does it - one string type, and you use it to hold UTF-8 if needed. In other words, they could've simply deprecated the Python 2.X unicode object and added libraries to extract code points, or grapheme clusters, or perform normalization etc... This seems much simpler and more "Pythonic".

I guess everything is 20/20 in hindsight.
I've seen it, too. Worse yet is when it's the kind of company that doesn't allow mediocre employees to improve. They're just given more work, crazier deadlines, less input, and no opportunities for advancement. Not only does this hinder the company, but it harms employees who stay too long at these companies. But the companies don't care because, by the time the good employees have left, they've made their money and enough wheels are in motion that the cash cow will continue to produce in the face of mediocrity.
I would hesitate to call them at fault per se, but yes I think if such an option has been provided, particularly at a fine-grained level so that modules could be moved over piecemeal, we would not have had nearly as much difficulty with this transition. On the one hand, removing some of the pressure would have meant that the old versions stayed around longer, but if the system genuinely works and doesn't hold up the evolution of the overall project, I'm not sure that I see a problem with that.

The stock probably does have a bigger potential upside, but also a more probable (than the bond) downside. The stock could drop quite a bit while the bond remains solvent. Bankruptcy and declining stock are not (completely) correlated positions to take. It's always a risk trade off.
