> By putting the quote into the context of the founding fathers the precise meaning is to imbue it with the idea that a sort of anti-governmental stance is Ur-American

A sort of anti-governmental stance is Ur-American. They didn't fight a revolution because they were satisfied to live under the rule of a far away unaccountable government. The implication being ascribed isn't out of character.

Franklin also said things like this:

> Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.

Which isn't as pithy but was treasonously anti-government in that era.

More to the point, he said the one about liberty and temporary safety more than once, so focusing on one instance as if that context is the only one is just as misleading. Here's a different one:

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Franklin/01-21-02-02...

Where we see this:

> As to the other two Acts, The Massachusetts must suffer all the Hazards and Mischiefs of War, rather than admit the Alteration of their Charters and Laws by Parliament. They who can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

So here's Franklin arguing that they must go to war sooner than give up their liberty to Parliament in peace, i.e. context in accordance with the usage for which it's typically quoted.
Look at Sweden. Social distancing is the official strategy but we can still go to restaurants and schools are open. It's not black or white and the US lockdown is definitely not minimal compared to Sweden.
> COVID-19 Is Likely to Lead to an Increase in Suicides

They didn't quantify the increase, but said Trump's warnings of "suicides by the thousands" "may be exaggerated".

So that's a couple days of COVID-19 deaths in the US.

> The Untold Toll — The Pandemic’s Effects on Patients without Covid-19

This explicitly says that the pandemic should have no effect on emergency admissions.

The others (cancer sufferers who are avoiding hospitals etc) are the people most likely to die because of a reduction in social distancing.

> Because the cure maybe worse using draconian lockdowns instead of just social distancing like Sweden

Sweden's death rate is nearly 3 times that of Denmark, 4 times that of Norway, and nearly 10 times that of Finland. Since late April it has had to reverse its loose policies and start introducing bans similar to elsewhere[1].

You close your eyes immediately and take the glasses off, just like when an errant sunlight reflection hits your eyes just right.
ActiveState is offering commercial support for Python 2, for those who need it. But places that are so conservative as to need it, are also precisely the ones that will want vanilla Python rather than a fork.

You're right, and it's too bad you were downvoted.
ESXi web is good. Why you need an app for this?
Admirable work
We assign value to human life all the time, in dollar terms or otherwise. And we most certainly assign a higher value to certain lives over others, you just do it implicitly. It’s the reason you don’t drop everything you’re doing in your life right now to go fight HIV in Africa, or aren’t organizing protests in front of the White House Lawn everyday to try to prevent the US from dropping another bomb on a Pakistani village. The personal and economic costs to do so are too great, therefore you’ve at least placed an upper bound on the value of those lives, which is something like the cost of maintaining your current lifestyle. In fact, the the true price of those lives can probably be approximated by looking at how much you’ve actually contributed in dollar terms to trying to preserve them, which is basically zero.

Are you saying that it’s immoral to at least consider the implications of a prolonged economic shutdown, or to advance a timetable for reopening that isn’t contingent on waiting 6 months for a vaccine?

Save us the sanctimony, you and everybody else is engaged in the exercise of assigning different values to different lives everyday.
Why do you assume that would be the outcome? That is the cruelest, most pessimistic prediction that one could make. Come on, have a little faith in common sense and decency.
Very interesting. Invisible control in Russia from the background... this 2019 BBC radio documentary on Vladislav Surkov is extremely good:

It's crazy to see just how far they've come from the first console to the latest and all the lessons they've learned along the way.

I haven't played it for long, but one thing I felt with Factorio and with the Anno series is that there is no RNG. I feel it would perhaps be more fun with an RNG element. Like, the assembly lines won't create identical items, but there will be some statistical variability. Also sometimes total duds are created that will cause problems downstream. Also random plant failures and downtime. In my imagination it would be more exciting.
Let's go easy on the ad hominems here.
> I'm confused at the article. What part of the 6th amendment ("In all criminal prosecutions...") distinguishes "non-serious" crimes from "serious crimes"?

They may be referring to felonies, but yeah the wording seems strange to me as well.
It does not conflict with the goal.
I once had a disagreement with a colleague about a claim in a lab manual for undergraduates. About 10 seconds into the discussion, his instinctive reaction was "Does the internet say that's right?"

After speaking with the professor that teaches the class, his instinct was also to check that the internet says it's right before updating the lab manual. I had a simple argument based on a well-known formula, but ultimately it's the internet that decides whether it's right or not.
On a slightly related subject I can HIGHLY recommend Google duo for voice calls. Very little latency, fantastic clarity and the ability for both parties to talk and listen at the same time.

Makes it so much less tiring for long conversations.

I have not tried it for group conversations yet.
Most would agree that oil prices are "low" everywhere, but there is currently a substantial gap between near-term contract prices for WTI (US) and Brent.

Aside from some differences in the specifications of the crude itself, the core difference between these contracts and the key driver for the massive price drop is the delivery location.

Brent contracts are the global benchmark, and delivery can take place in a variety of locations. WTI means West Texas Intermediate, and the delivery location for futures is in Cushing, Oklahoma:

"Delivery shall be made free-on-board ("F.O.B.") at any pipeline or storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma with pipeline access to Enterprise, Cushing storage or Enbridge, Cushing storage. Delivery shall be made in accordance with all applicable Federal executive orders and all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations..."[1]

Prices therefore reflect the demand and storage capacity/cost there, as well as the cost of sending it somewhere else.

The contract that had the massive drop into negative value was WTI for delivery in May. The owners of those contracts when trading terminates are responsible for taking delivery of that oil in the specified location at the agreed price in May. The negative price reflects the fact that noone wants that oil in that location at that time, even for free. At the low point, buyers were demanding >$35/barrel to take it.

For reference June WTI contracts are currently still $21.43.

Could it be an issue with microphones or speaker quality? My fully remote team has used zoom for all of our meetings, and unless someone is calling in from a cell phone in a busy area, I don't recall a time when I have had difficulty understanding someone.

If anything, the fact that everyone has their own microphone makes it better than in person meetings, because you never have to struggle with that one person who doesn't talk loud enough for the entire table to hear (which is sometimes me, because I have a very soft voice and struggle to speak loudly in big meetings).
I'm overly simplifying, but I don't understand the fuss.

The incubation is ~14 days. So if _everyone_ can act together, stay at home for 2-3 weeks, then it'll all be over and we can get on with our lives, right?

For those who don't want to follow (the deviants): force them to sign agreement, "If COVID-19 happens to me, that's solely my problem." and let them do whatever freedom they want, as long as they're not near non-deviants.

This is similar with smokers. In many countries, smoking is still allowed in designated areas: closed room where all smokers smoke. You think smoking is okay? Fine, do it with the rest of you, but don't inflict damage to non-smokers.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm perplexed by the selfishness. You want it your way? Go ahead, but don't risk others.

yeah, I use "longreach" and don't feel guilty about it at all. You can also build ghost items from the map view, which bots will fill in. For really remote areas I still do have to find the right train to ride, but this mainly solves it. Never hearing that beeping sound while building locally is totally worth it.

Apparently the devs added a reach limit to prevent people from keeping their factory going by manual loading for hours and hours; since I don't do that, there's no harm in it.
Thanks! I was going to ask "Does folly have its own asyncio for e.g." :)!
You have to realize that search is not AI. It's pattern matching. And the string "shirt without stripes" matches really good with "shirt with stripes". Levenshtein distance is 3.

If vendors would use the term "shirt without stripes" than it would match great, but they call it "plain shirt".
I think you are trolling, but in case you aren't; can you elaborate what is so different in Python 3? Granted, it is not a drop-in replacement but it is 99.9% the same thing.
Because including a potential link to Russia gets more views and outrage.
In Sweden they did antibody tests on blood givers and found that 11% had antibodies. There was no ad or survey so there couldn't have been any selection bias.
> Do we really expect companies to start acting morally when the economy is tanking?

Yes. It's better to hold people to the proper ethical standard and have it be violated, than just give up on ethics altogether.
Yeah, I believe the point was max performance, not performance per watt.
For a sizable factory, massive spaces must be dedicated to renewable energy, which means obliterating lots of pests. And building the renewable infrastructure--mines, crude pumping, transit, smelting, refining, manufacturing, landfilling lakes, bot deployments, defense--are massively expensive and polluting. By comparison, nuclear (or even coal!) is much easier on the wildlife.
I'm not sure what you meant by your last sentence. Do you mean the purpose of the unanimous jury was to preserve white supremacy? Or do you mean that the purpose of Williams' argument against the unanimous jury was to preserve white supremacy?
You miss them. Not their faces.
A year is astronomical. Does it involve writing tests that did not exist before?
Sweden argues that they have disciplined populace that does not socialize anyway. That they generally keep away from each other and follow rules without being forced to.

I dont know whether it is true statistically, nor whether it will end up being food from them, but that is what people from Sweden argue.

It's the people who are learning the language from scratch taking advantage of this simplification, because they don't need to learn the special syntax of print with all its warts (like trailing comma).
"He hopes it catches the attention of companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook. Because while the startup world is being shaken, some tech giants are still hiring."

Can't help but think of the giant sequoia trees, that are much more fire-resistant than the underbrush beneath them, and whose seeds flourish in a recently-burned forest floor.
I completed my OMSCS last Spring, specializing in Machine Learning. My advice to you would be to not worry about any specialization as you can change it later on. Focus on taking courses that interest you. You need to complete 10 courses for completing the program. With 2-3 mandatory courses + 3 electives, you have room for at least 4 other courses not in your specialization.

There are some interesting courses on the Computing System track. FWIW, my undergrad was in a different engineering field. So I really enjoyed the Network Security and Intro to Operating Systems. The Algorithms course reshaped my perspective on formal methods and correctness. The HCI course is also very good.

As mentioned by @bewestphal , check out https://omscentral.com/ for reviews to get an idea about the popularity, difficulty and time investment for the courses.
I know it didn't. I even mentioned them in my previous post, those guys are from the Colorado Springs (south) and I underscored some of the obvious underlying issues to the dilemma and drew parallels to the ones happening in SoCal: pro military and dependence for their local economy, and a big pro trump supporter area.

I even saw it became a meme to call them 'Karen' on social media, and I don't even follow SM, as you can see them in action during this 'protest' making an unnecessary scene in the middle of the street:

Yes, that's a nurse she is racially berating; the same people dealing with medical supplies shortages, patient exposure, and being over worked during this pandemic.
Do you know why even felonies would be distinguished here, even if that's what they meant? The amendment literally says "in all criminal prosecutions"... how does "all" turn into "some"?
Hey man. Yeah, text summarization sucks a lot at the moment. I would say there is no such product at the moment. None I am aware about, at least
I think the main cause of stress and fatigue is that you have to be presentable all the time.

I put a sticker over my camera and I bought a headset with a hardware mute switch (so that it doesn't show) and now I can phase out just like I'd do in a regular meeting :)
This is it. The issue is exhaustion compensating for all the audio problems-- dogs barking, room echoes, compression, images out of sync, the delay in reactions (constantly being unsure if you were heard- not knowing what the correct volume you should be speaking is), being asked to repeat yourself, and the mix of your audio with those of others.

It's a lot to process. With 15 people on "speakerphone", the audio is IMO the biggest and most taxing problem.
I find leaving a call to be difficult. In the real world, someone just “dropping in” to a meeting room can nod, wave, or gesture to say hi, find the right moment to enter the conversation, make a point and then leave with the same nod, wave or gesture. You can’t do that on a video call without either seeming rude (“Foo has left the call”) or breaking the main conversation flow (“Hey everyone, I’m gonna leave now”). It’s tiresome and I end up sitting on calls until everyone else is ready to exit.
I wonder if positioning the webcam say 2m away looking at the general workspace would work better - not just the head.

Need to have highish res video for faces still to be distinguishable though.
some would say that the distinction was in the wrong places, like assuming that the command line arguments or file paths were utf8
That’s not the case because households have an average size > 1.
Does anyone know if they sell chairs, desks, and other equipment to individuals? Would love to get an Aeron chair at a discount.
This is a shot in the dark and maybe a little insensitive because people are losing their job (I lost mine recently) so I apologize for that. Does anyone know of any of these liquidators for office furniture? I've been trying to get a Herman Miller desk chair for a reasonable price for about a year now.
No, no group of ordinary humans can all act together at the same time, with discipline. Occasionally this works in the military or something, but they're heavily trained.

Plus, the problem with "deviants" as you put it, is that if they don't "conform", they can infect a lot of other non-deviants.

The problem is a complex one, for sure.
> I’m not arguing either way but would point out:

> 1/ Drawing a salary is profit sharing.

People still get paid when companies don't turn a profit.
What does that link have anything to do with the "loneliness" being the cause of Sweden's Covid policy relative success?
Perhaps... what I mean is this: close your eyes and visualize a tree. Do you literally see the tree in the darkness of your closed eyelids in front of you, visually? Even just vaguely? If not, then imho that's not really visual. I "see" the tree, but it's a different kind of seeing. Perhaps that's a degree of aphantasia, but how would I know? ;)
The real problem in practice is all the places that relied on implicit bytes <-> unicode conversions. These are also likely to be broken on unusual inputs due to ASCII being the default encoding, rather than user locale... but that kind of thing is depressingly common even so.
I appreciate the reading material and words of caution. I will take those to heart. <3
Fully electronic cards don't count as cards.
> Forgiven? Then its not a loan anymore is it? Its a bailout. Was the intention to give a handout of cash to small businesses free of charge?

Yes, it's handing out free money to some and not others based on basically nothing. What's worse, the banks are collecting a cool 1% whether someone pays back the loan or not. 300B in loans is 3B to the banks, 0 risk.

> Its pretty transparent that this funding was never intended to make it to taco trucks and barbers.

Sadly, I don't think the congress people are that smart. They probably actually thought this program would work in some useful capacity.

Immensely interesting video! "Old" hardware makes me feel so humble regarding what we have now. Hardware limitations back then really pushed developers towards novel approaches and solutions.

I'm not talking about the DOS games at that point (it's a reference example for a pattern, as mentioned), but newer generations of games and the basic principle of operation. There are already some older ca. Win 98 era games that run better on Linux+Wine than on Windows past Vista due to compatibility problems, and I do think it'll eventually become a commercial reality to sell those kinds of games packaged into a a Linux VM once their numbers increase, yes.

It's easier to test, doesn't require costly porting work if it already works, VM tech is increasingly commoditized, low licensing costs, the performance overhead won't matter, etc. Just like no one notices today if a DOS game is sold bundled with DOSBox.

The alternative would be to maintain the native Windows port of Winet that's effort - I bank on laziness with the VM bit. The fact that WSL went VM from 1 to 2 is an indicator of viability for the general idea of transparent virtualization, too.

Honestly, if you take this another round I have to assume you're being intentionally obtuse for trolling purposes.
An eco-system is much more than a language grammar.

Until Go comes with an OS, a set of drivers comparable to JDBC for Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Informix, CMS tooling like Magnolia/Liferay, profilers like VisualVM/JFR, graphical debuggers (delve just barely does it), code reloading, dynamically loading, an UI toolkit that at least matches Swing, and plenty of other stuff, I rather leave it to Docker/K8S tooling.
Honestly, it seems more likely that California's much maligned car culture has served us well in this case - ensuring many of us maintain social distance which is impossible on NYC's subway and bus system. All the positive press about governor Cuomo's leadership and handling of the crisis seems a little weird given his failure to shut-down the subways (or at least curtail a but the absolutely most urgent ridership).
Yes but that was my point: I suspect (I can't be sure of course) that this is a limit of the English language. We call it "seeing", but it's not. If it would be real seeing, you would visually see the thing you are visualizing in your field of view, as if it were literally there (like in a dream).
Debt to who
Except for that part where it would happily implicitly convert them to/from a Unicode string in any context where one was needed or present... using ASCII, rather than UTF-8, as the encoding.
But doesn't that require some level of generics? This is an honest question not rhetorical / a retort.
So basically by "mass surveillance," you mean some kind of decentralized system that does the kind of work that Google does (quickly indexing new or changed data)?

You might be on to something here.
Once iOS has the ability to sign its own apps, the sky is the limit. In fact, we're getting pretty close to this even without Apple's help. UTM can boot Windows 10 using a whacky JIT hack to get QEMU's TCG working for (slow) x86 emulation. It won't be long until someone boots Xcode and compiles a simple app (though it would probably take hours!). https://github.com/utmapp/UTM. On the other hand, many smart people have started to port other languages, such as porting the Python interpreter (https://github.com/holzschu/python3_ios) and C compilers (https://github.com/ColdGrub1384/SeeLess). See the LibTerm project (https://github.com/ColdGrub1384/LibTerm). I can already see someone creating a sandboxed mini-OS with the ability to spawn and manage processes just like a Linux terminal by cheating iOS's Thread API.

However, your forum post says you believe Apple wants to take the power of the ability to locally compile and sign away from developers. This is unlikely for a number of reasons, one of which is completely breaking all games built using non-SceneKit workflows (basically all of them) along with other apps that depend on outside compilers.
Gorsuch is saying that the point of a non-unanimous jury was to advance racist policies, and that this was widely accepted to be true.
We are living in strange times. If your credit is good, most automakers are offering no interest loans and also not doing the normal trick of making the no interest loan price higher to cover the spread. Very desperate to sell cars.
IMO, fall back on first principles. Trust no one and err on the side of caution. Weigh your actions as if you will be turned away at the hospital if you do get sick.

Trying to choose between one size fits all top down solutions is the path to madness. State shutdown orders are really just a crude response to an economic treadmill meant to push everyone into working. They're imperfect, as all one size fits all solutions are.

If you do need to continue to come into contact with others to take care of yourself and family, consciously accept the risk and do the prep work to minimize it rather than going full cognitive dissonance and backfitting justifications as to why it's perfectly safe. We've seen enough twitboast->obituary pairings.
