I don't really have food delivery options where I live. I mostly cook a lot anyway so I haven't been getting a lot of takeout (or which there also aren't a lot of great options even if I pick up myself). I do get a pizza or something like that every now and then.

But I might be inclined to skip cold cuts like Italian subs, sushi, salads, etc. I don't think the risk is really all that great in the scheme of things. But I live somewhere that I can totally avoid person to person contact unless I go to the store--which I've been doing about once a week in off hours--so I'm not inclined to increase risk for trivial reasons.
I think the segmentation is reasonable enough for typical users. Any basic user just looking for something like a desktop would only see the Ryzen 3/5/7/9 desktop SKUs, and those have a pretty sensible and intuitive segmentation.

Even within each segment, the 3xxx(_/X) setup (looking at Zen 2 SKUs) seems like it makes sense. Higher numbers in the last 3 digits have more cores/higher speeds, and the X version of a given processor has higher clocks. I think that would be intuitive enough for any random person to figure out pretty quickly.
You could also speculate that employers who offer WFH are more likely to pay more. It’s seen as a perk by many people, and suggesting that employers who offer more perks might pay more doesn’t seem unlikely to me. The headline would seem silly if it said “engineers who get free hot meals at work earn more than those who don’t”.
We're great at building private wealth. We suck at building public wealth. We built a database worth a trillion dollars. We've built oligopolies in vital industries.

The newspaper reports on "the economy" by a private wealth measure -- the stock index. Another measure -- jobs -- is reported in numbers and not dollars, because the numbers are a leading indicator of public support for private wealth.

We haven't begun to fight for our survival until we agree to tap into private wealth.
KGB doesn't exist anymore - you might mean the FSB or GRU?

Anyways, plenty of countries have security agencies whose main job is to violently protect the local kleptocrats these days. China might be a better example to point to for even worse behavior, with their balkanized net and mass surveillance being used to carry out the mass internment and repression of ethnic minorities in regions like Xinjiang.

Yep. Also: sale, acquisition, merger, as well as government requests for data, and third party access. Speaking from experience selling a company, it’s difficult to plan for unknown eventualities, and even more difficult to keep any promises about what happens to data you have. The only effective way I know of to guarantee data you have doesn’t get shared is to delete it.
I am so sick of informed consent and cookie and GDPR etc. popups and banners and forms and checkboxes. I could not care less and neither could most people out there. This crap is ruining the internet for no tangible benefit to the inexplicable thunderous applause of people on tech websites. It didn't hurt anyone when Sears collected rewards data for advertising and it never hurt anyone when web companies used data from user interaction. A simple static webpage is going to end up impossible for anyone but a megacorp to run legally if we keep going down this nonsensical path.

Imagine I mailed you an unsolicited letter and you were legally required to burn it and never say or benefit from what was inside just because I said so. That's the insanity of these "privacy" laws.

Just circumstantial. I was knocked down with something I self-diagnosed as "walking pneumonia", which turned out to be the thing a lot of these cases were diagnosed as before the virus was widely known. Several days after a flight. Main symptom was lots of coughing and some fever. Felt better after 7-10 days, but coughed frequently for several more weeks. Not really the aches of flu, nor any nasal/sinus symptoms--just totally wiped out.

Until we have antibody tests, no way to know. And I'm locked down hard--not assuming anything.

Not the parent, but when I've had food delivered I reheat it in a new container. That + disposing of original packaging, afaik, mostly mitigates any risk of transmission which for this particular vector is low to begin with.

I havent ordered many fresh salads or sushi.
I'm generally amazed how well the o365 stuff actually works... I do wish I could edit Visio documents online though, viewing seems to work okay-ish. I'm also not sure if/what they'll come up for Access.

All of this said, still leaps and bounds better than gdocs.
Chile to issue world's first Covid-19 “immunity passports”
Note: I also wrote a parallel reply with some other commentary.

On the specific issue of constructors, a slight change to the semantics of error signalling in the constructors and the addition of the ":" syntax to constructors made a lot of difference.
All the things you mentioned can be found in Zig! [1]

It's exception semantics are very similar to Go, but unlike Go, you have to handle the error. It has constructs like `defer` and `errdefer` which allow you do clean up at the end of the scope or on exception respectively. It has support for Generics and Metaprogramming without having to resort to preprocessor macros.

It just released v0.6.0 and is actively in development with an engaging and helpful community.[2]

Uber driver in San Francisco here.

Yeah, down 80% seems accurate. The last several weeks have been better than the initial start of Quarantine. There were entire days where I did not give a single ride.

The airport lot used to have 250-300 cars waiting. Now there are around 10. The only place I have found any consistency is waiting at the local Safeway. I’ve gone from 12 hrs driving = $250 to 12 hours driving = $125.

It will be better soon.
Can you email me at the address above? Would like to help you get this working and happy to jump on a Zoom call to debug the issue with you.

Sure, but business models change.

The main issue here is that this behavior is enabled by default and hidden. If API would be used like this, I would see no problem:

```
import {
ensureUsersAreTrackedForFraudPrevention,
loadStripe,
} from '@stripe/stripe-js';

ensureUsersAreTrackedForFraudPrevention()
```

Of course, they will never do that, because then many developers would opt-out, and they need the masses to make fraud prevention work.
-I am quite convinced it was just meant to drive home the point that they were being serious about me changing the welcome message.

I do not think there is any legal way they could have severed my (well, my parents') phone service over such an issue - but then again, I had no desire to have to explain to my parents why the phone was dead, and promptly replaced the welcome with something along the lines of "This computer is so secret the DoD told the op not to ID it!" (Which, while rather flippant, was definitely true... Ah, the joys of being fifteen!)
Same thing, though I think all our bus lanes are right-turn lanes, too. In any case, I trust bus drivers a lot more than bicyclists. :-/
It's an interesting data discrepancy - fewer smokers in covid-19 infected individuals - but it doesn't tell us much. The survival bias is a problem. They took the smoking status of alive patients, not in the ICU. The results could indicate the opposite effect. Smokers tend to be in the ICU or die at an accelerated rate so are under-represented. That said, one would expect counter-acting effects in such a situation that would make the counter-intuitive result of fewer smokers meaning it's worse for smokers less likely, e.g. greater diagnosis rate in smokers due to increased severity, higher rates of infection in smokers, etc.

I don't think any conclusions can be drawn from this study. It does suggest that there is value in investigating the impacts of smoking on Covid-19.
There's 2 generations of Xeon D's - the 15xx series from circa 2015 and the 21xx series from about a year ago. Their target market is essentially for low powered but somewhat powerful compute farms. Their pricing is part of the Intel mark-up for supporting RDIMMs on top of other datacenter-centric features such as remote management BOMs, SFF-8088 connector for onboard LSI HBAs, and even SFP+ support. Those features are quite reasonable for the $600 range when including an efficient low-TDP CPU.

My home server pegs my I/O when I run some tests to push a ton of bytes through Kafka, Postgres, Rook, etc. on top of a ZFS zpool. I do K8S at home along with some deep learning + big data-y toy projects because it's still cheaper than firing the equivalent up in any cloud provider after about 6 months of operation for myself, and at least I can repurpose my toys.
Hmm, I followed the link and just tried it for a 100-120 km trip from my home and it picks up the route with the steepest possible climbs, even if I take "Couch potato" as "fitness" choice. If I try to nudge it into another general direction, it will pick up again the hardest route in that direction. I know for having ridden them, that there is one route completely flat, another with just a few very small hills, and a few other ones with one or two longer but smooth climbs.

It seems to just aim at the shortest route, doesn't matter if there are 10% climbs in it.

They're not overwhelmed yet because they have capacity (NYC hospitals are struggling but are not over capacity either), deaths happen all the time especially in a country with aging population like Japan and are just not counted as covid19, like the author says it will probably be visible in excess deaths statistics once those are published.

I am not an attorney. This is not legal advice.

Based on a plain reading of the law, several things about CalOPPA stand out to me. For one, it's not clear to me that the mouse movements in question qualify as "personally identifiable information". Mouse movements are not a first or last name, physical or email address, SSN, telephone number, or any contact method I am familiar with (maybe you know a way?).

Second, it seems to me that opt-out, right to inspect and update, and more are all contingent upon the data being PII within the scope of CalOPPA. Perhaps you can help me with something I've overlooked that would show me where I've erred?

Further, what do you think the correct legal and ethical way for Stripe to use mouse movement data would be? From your comment I can guess that you believe it should be treated as PII. Is that correct?
So your proposal is that the government can just choose in the moment which laws to enforce and not enforce, based on current conditions and the leanings/predilictions of its current members?

The right thing to do do in the horse case would have been to repeal the law, since for sure, it no longer really applied. By contrast, the call from the public was "this is just another example of excessive government regulation", which is an entirely different claim.

But do you really want to argue for "oh, no problem, the police/courts can just ignore that statute because its clear to everyone that the original conditions that led to it no longer apply?" Really?

Are you saying that pricing drives demand? It seems to me that demand is driven by people who have places to go. Pricing can reduce demand, but it can't increase it beyond the base amount. Not unless people start just telling their uber driver to go around the city because they just like being inside of a car.

The Russians have definitely gone back to the old ways, I'm not sure the distinction between the old and new matters much any more (The GRU is the same organization, the FSB still reside in the Lubyanka - "the tallest building in Moscow")

It's more expensive for New Zealand to shut its borders than most countries. In a sense, we're least able to eliminate the virus because we're so heavily dependent on our international connectivity.

We rely heavily on immigration. Our policy planners expect the population to grow every year because of new arrivals. That movement has other effects, like supporting house price inflation. Which itself impacts the banks' expectations and willingness to lend. And so on.

Tourism and international education are very significant industries for us. Tourism employs about 1/7 workers. Even something that appears relatively domestic, such as growing food, relies on migrant workers from the Pacific.
While the 1600AF is great(basically a 2600 under the name of the 1600 for anyone who's confused), the different ways one can buy one aren't the clearest about whether it's actually the AF.

At least personally, I'd be wary about sending someone I was helping to pick one up on the off chance that it wasn't actually the AF.

Resources for cloud independent architecture design?
Hi there!
I've been tasked with lifting some existing architecture and build systems to the cloud. I want to go with Kubernetes or some solution that allows for little to no cloud vendor lock in, allowing system to be run on prem as well.

Can anybody recommend a book or other resources that deals with these requirements? I've read "Designing Data Intensive Applications" and find it wonderful. I wonder if there's something similar for architecture / kubernetes.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Zoning for single family housing is definitely (at least in substantial part) rooted in racism (although I think you can make a case for it to be more expansively classism ... but sure, whatever).

However, racism doesn't require 2+ parking spaces, just single family dwellings that cost more than poor people can afford.
Swift Covid-19 vaccine within reach, say Swiss scientists
Since the source code could not help with decryption and the file was trivial to decrypt anyway, the NSA was either playing four dimensional chess that requires making a pointless midnight phone call or it's actually fallible.

Rather than fairly justified suspicion of the NSA, we might want to apply Hanlon's razor in this case.

It is a good instinct to be concerned about this. But far as anyone can tell data, food has not acted as a transmission vector in any statistically detectable number of cases. The numbers don't show it, and the detailed disease transmission studies rule it out.

I've always wondered If I could just go out and buy like 10 mortgages or car loans in my area, and try to recover some of the money. I've heard that debt goes for pennies on the dollar, so I would think it would be possible to make a decent amount if you have the time.

Profit != wages. A company profiting off a test is not the same as a worker being paid for their labor. Something being made at cost would price in the cost of labor, while profit is in excess of that (and all other expenses).

Not realistic here but it has been done
Oh yes. I was bitten by that when I piped around some tool's output that eventually went through grep. The tool's output was actually text but for some reason there was a null byte at the end which nobody noticed before.

The fun part was that the way the data got chunked through the pipes was not deterministic, so sometimes you got the desired output from grep, but other times just "binary file matches", even when the raw output from the first tool was identical in both runs. That took quite some head scratching to figure out.

Actually I’ve seen variants of this work in many different ways. Listen, you got yourself already onto a powerful drug. People use drugs to come off other drugs all the time, and it works. In fact I think it has a high success rate if done properly.

Many rural areas don't have fire departments in the same way that cities have fire departments. They have "volunteer" fire departments, who do receive public funding but who are not expected to put out any particular fire. There aren't enough fires to justify anything more.

Assuming this to be true (though see my reply about zoning below - I think this is an incomplete answer), then that's great, you have now cleared Chesterton's Fence, and are in a position to propose a replacement.
