You really need to educate yourself a bit on basics, so that you don't believe every stupid news report. Remember, since the lockdown news papers have nothing else to report on except coronavirus. They must find something new newsworthy every day and therefore a lot of utter shit gets printed.

1. The news article which you originally posted is a summary of the message which the doctor gave in a scubadiving magazine. In that magazine the message is less sensationalist.

2. Not every COVID-19 infection ends up affecting your lungs. COVID-19 in particular starts in your throat (which is why many report a sore throat to begin with). Once it is in your throat the virus multiplies and will eventually penetrate your lungs. However, if you are fit and healthy then normally your body will react quickly and start fighting the virus. In my case I had really high fever for 2 days and on day 3 and after I was getting significantly better. My immune system was able to fight the virus before it even got to my lungs. I had a sore throat, high fever, didn't taste my food, had a cough, fatigue, but I didn't have shortness of breath. If the virus never enters your lungs it can't damage them.

3. Even if the virus enters your lungs it doesn't mean anything yet. It really depends how strong your immune system is in reacting to the virus. If it takes 7-10 days like with old or weakend people then your lungs might get severly infected before your body starts to fight it off, however when you're healthy then you might fight it off before you get a bad lung infection.

4. A lung infection is not unique to COVID-19. It doesn't matter what causes your lung infection, once you have it the symptoms and possible outcomes are the same. Doesn't matter if bronchitis, a flu, a bad cold or COVID-19 caused you to get a lung infection or pneumonia. Anyways, with some medical support even those people will get over it in most cases. However, it is VERY COMMON to have many weeks after a lung infection still some leftover symptoms. Some patients have a cough for two months after a bad cold or flu. It is common that there will still be traces visible in a lung scan many weeks after, but almost all these cases eventually clear up. An inflamation means that tissue has gone sore. Your body fights off the virus, but your tissue takes longer to recover from the soreness. That is normal and it's not unique to COVID-19. EXACTLY the same would happen after a flu or cold.

Hope these facts make it a lot clearer, because the amount of false information spread via social media and some low key fake news websites is astonishing and really harmful.

Isn't more important to take decisions instead of holding everyone upfront accountable for any mistake?
How fun. Practical implementation in most cases is movie plot level implausible, but for certain high value systems we already know that state level actors have the resources and patience to do something like build a side channel link by having air gapped systems relay in and out via acoustics with HVAC or whatever.

This is going to be a lot more serious as IOY device capabilities increase -- so many available microphones and radios built into everything.

I just got a workstation grade Dell machine t7610 to be exact spent more than a week trying to hackentosh it but couldn't for some reason I always got some obscure error and none of the fixes worked. Found someone at GitHub with a similar machine but different graphics card and still couldn't make it work.
But that got me thinking maybe there is a place for a tool where you feed it your hardware and it generates the most optimal configuration and image
> Functional programming is a style or pattern. If a language gives you basic stuff, you can do that pattern.

Kind of... correctness isn't as guaranteed though. Having a hard time putting it into words at the moment, maybe I just need some holes poked into it to draw out the rest of my view (or change it).
Sometimes you don't have the luxury of a power line, e.g. in developing countries. Similar thing (larger scale though) happened with oil: there are still tons of oil tanks sailing around the world because a stable pipeline network is hard to build.
They risk losing the entire Austrian market. But paying this tax also risks emboldening other countries to follow suit. Exiting the market has the short term loss of Austrian revenue, but signals that legislation like this will not work.

Refusing to do business in a country due to regulation isn't acting above the law. These companies have no requirement to conduct business in any given country.
> You and I must be thinking of different professionals.

That's the kind of bias he was probably thinking of.
This is my biggest concern. These current stay-at-home orders (like California's) are very unsustainable and can only last so long. Unemployment is already well into double digits and government spending will outpace tax revenue way too quickly. Then what?

We know the virus will not be suppressed as SARS or MERS were; this coronavirus is basically everywhere and spreading. I can't see how mitigation isn't the only option after a month or two. From the very beginning the whole point of social distancing has been to flatten the curve so hospitals can operate effectively.

On the other hand, having tests so widely available that groups (probably VIP groups to begin with, pending greater availability) can all get tested before banding together to do business would be beneficial. For example, I wonder if the motion picture industry will do this for film shoots, where basically a skeleton crew all gets together for a camp and have no contact beyond each other for the during of work.
Wow, thanks for the info. It's a shame they don't provide a read only mirror or a big archive of all the repos. Even today, on 2020,I still stumble upon some Google code repositories that I'm Glas are kept archived.
You literally have a government official who's title is "Chief Censor". I have no doubt that trust in the government is high. Thats what government censorship is for.
There are two questions to answer first.

1. Do you think people can best decide what’s best for themselves?

2. Do you care about other people?

The Democratic Party answers no and yes.

The Republican Party answers no and no.

The Libertarian Party answers yes and no.

A UBI is the solution to yes and yes.
In NYC, 0.16% of the population's died from it, so that's a hard lower bound.
I think it's two sides of the same coin - what was the cause of the breakdown?

Either way, we're at a point where a lot of people are having kinds that they hadn't really planned for, or might not have wanted, or can't afford, or otherwise aren't able to give proper care to.

Woah, from what I undeddtand, the bitstream is the fpga equivalent of the compiler output? Then selling something as "secure" because nobody can know what code it is running would be security through obscurity no? How would vendors get away with that sort of BS?

To be clear: just talking about the confidentiality requirement here. Authenticity (ie code signing, right?) is obviously something very useful especially in these cases.

I am a Software Engineer and my spouse has limited vision. These is based on my experience
1. Use your remaining time with vision to be really really good at touch typing. I mean, you should be able to any character without looking at the keyboard.
2. My spouse finds these magnifiers really useful to read small text. Hoping you can use these if you can retain some vision. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EV0XP8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b....
3. Learn how to use the Accessibility features in Windows, Mac, Android, Linux and ios. Learn the shortcuts. You should think about how to use the tools for low vision (magnifier) and no vision (Audio aids and other stuff)
4. Learn the ADA standards for applications and be an advocate for visually impaired. At my own work, I try to use every opportunity to push for more accessible applications. However there so many software applications deployed to Enterprise every day, without any accessibility considerations. Being a software engineer, I implore you to be a champion for this cause.
5. People who grew up using computers from the 90s are turning older now. Next 10 to 20 years they will demand the applications they use to be accessible. As an industry, we will need to change the way we do business.
6. Know that this is going to be Mental Health / emotional challenge as well. Get help if needed
So you'd pay for your own private guards, private fire department, pave the roads you use to drive to work out of your own pocket, and countless other things that are currently tax-payer funded resources? You'd need to be exceptionally wealthy indeed. Or maybe you still think there's some basic things the government should do, and therefore needs to collect taxes for them. In which case we're not arguing over whether or not money gets siphoned, we're just arguing over where you draw the line.
Typical UBI proposals are "means tested" in the form of a "negative" income tax (NIT), or as we call it nowadays, a refundable tax credit. If you make 0 taxable income, you get a "full" UBI payment. Then some percentage of your earned income (typically 60% or so) is clawed back from the UBI, until the break even point is reached where you get nothing as UBI, but also no further earned income is clawed back. This gives acceptable work incentives at the low end, very good ones above the break-even point, and a low monetary cost for the program as a whole. It is important that the break even point not be too high, or the cost of the program would be way too high for little benefit.

Assuming that none of the $4T added to the balance sheet won't be recovered (highly unlikely), then we spent $15K per life. Still a bargain.
Most "SUVs" are just station wagons with an extra inch of ground clearance. They aren't that heavy. A Prius, on the other hand is close to the weight of a light truck.
That's all well-and-good meaningless virtue signaling, but it doesn't give millions of homeless people homes, a decent standard of living to people working for poverty wages, those tens of millions people who have dropped out of the workforce (participation rate) good jobs, tens of millions universal healthcare, or the hundred/s of millions savings for a path to ever retire. So don't talk to me about the "generosity" of Americans.

As I'm already an Emacs user, I'd start by looking at what Emacspeak (http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net) can offer. Since Emacs itself is way more than a text editor this package is also much more than that. It isn't just a screen reader, instead it is an audio based desktop that does email, web, news, plays games, keeps notes, calendars, writes computer languages, etc.
Ask the Greeks why Italy didn't want the ESM money (hint: it comes with forced privatisations and foreign imposed austerity).

There has never been a serious discussion in Germany about its failed post-WW2 denazification programme, history got in the way. Just yesterday I was on the wikipedia page of the first commander of the Gestapo, a certain Rudolf Diels, only to learn that immediately after WW2 he led quite a peaceful life, perfectly integrated in the German state institutions:

> After 1950 he served in the post-war government of Lower Saxony[3] and then in the Ministry of the Interior, until his retirement in 1953.

Like, what the hell?

Even on the economy side you've still got BASF and Bayer happily doing business of hundreds of billions each year, while suffering almost no economic repercussions as a result of their role in WW2.

One of the few Germans from the public sphere that I know of and who really wanted to confront this problem head on was Heinrich Böll.

I'm glad it's fulfilling for you. It is for me too. What I said wasn't an indictment on software engineering as a source of joy.

I think many 24 year olds have spent so much of their recent years thinking about their career that they might miss the fact that there's so much more to life. This time might be better spent in other ways too. I just want to nudge this individual towards considering those things too.
Relax.

I was thinking the exact same thing! It would be something I would definitely be interested in reading just to get a different perspective on how different people approach a site.
Your "low" ACT score is in the 89th percentile. You simply should've applied to some state schools as backup—you definitely would've gotten in some. If you're still focused on only going to top private schools, you retake the ACT and try again next year but should really consider applying to others as well.
If you're going to the trouble of setting up this kind of exfiltration plan, that 14 hours is probably less than 1% of your expended man hours. But the critical element is that it is nearly unstoppable and undetectable after the fact unless the source is recording all EMF and audio state around it. If your attack code deletes itself when its done, all the "normal" data loss prevention controls are irrelevant.
Yeah, the whole idea of ubi is you replace the patchwork of various social programs (and the overhead of each program) with a basic ubi for everyone. It's supposed to be much more efficient and there's no disincentives to self improvement (because you never lose your benefits).

I personally don't actually think it disincentives working very much because people who want to work for more than just the minimum always will and people who really, really don't wanna work find a way to get out of working within the current system. Since my family is full of degenerates, I've seen every trick in the book used. Out of my dad's family (8 kids) only one (1) has meaningfully participated in paid employment.
Facebook will display a link preview in the news feed, which will generally select some thumbnail and show the article headline and some text snippet, maybe the first sentence or two. The argument goes that by doing this, Facebook is monetizing the content of the link owner, and if people only read the headlines and text snippets and never click the link (frequently true), Facebook ends up with all of the ad revenue.

At least, this is the argument used by Spain against Google News, causing Google to stop linking to Spanish news sites.

Affiliate marketing is a type of promotion, which is entirely different than person-to-person sales.
I have no experience with being blind, and I can't imagine what it's like. I can only wish you the best, and hope it progresses as slowly as possible.

I do know one reason why a blind front-end developer can be very valuable for a company: there are a lot of blind people out there, and they need to be able to use the web too. For this reason, a lot of companies care a lot about accessibility, and so do a lot of developers. But despite those best efforts, those developers keep dropping the ball without even noticing, because they don't experience it. As a blind developer, you will notice when something your team has built, doesn't work for blind people. This can be very valuable in the right situation.
Sorry to hear that! Not sure if you're familiar with algolia, but you can search of all of hacker news for blind programming resources:

Hope this helps and best of luck!
No, it isn't going to get worse.

Unless, the definition of worse is a pompous dipshit who writes 1700+ words to get attention.
Not really helping 2). The encryption is an optional feature, so you can work on reversing and generating your own bitstream as you wish without this.

Being able to fake the signature might help people wanting to backdoor devices in the wild.
Schools, particularly those without large endowments, often have large debts they have to service and rely on tuition for much of that. Building facilities is not cheap, and state governments have been providing less funding.

This gives you the ability to arbitrarily order via user defined list (the first argument) and then to order by some comparison function if for instance a new key were added (length in this example).

Given the example:

{
"baz": ...,
"bar": ...,
"foo": ...,
"quux": ...,
}

Then listing all of the keys in your desired order:

comp :: Text -> Text -> Ordering
comp = keyOrder ["foo","bar","baz","qux"] `mappend` comparing length

Note if you list all keys in the first argument of keyOrder it never goes to comparing length. There is probably a cleaner way to denote that this is the case but I can't be bothered to figure it out atm.

You can use this function:

encodePretty' defConfig { confCompare = comp } YourType

And it will produce:

{
"foo": ...,
"bar": ...,
"baz": ...,
"quux": ...,
}

Can you give a sample of the javascript in the order necessary? This is from NPM? They have to use some comparison function to figure out how to sort their keys I'd imagine, so you could just copy that with Haskell.
I'm not sure I agree... literally not sure. It's an interesting idea though.
I have just the visual component of Ushers, I’ve got about 5 degrees left of my visual field. I never really did front end work, but I still regularly do back end, and project management.

I haven’t moved to non visual coding yet. Instead I have optimized for the vision I have left. I have a very bright monitor, very bright lights in my office (overhead) and have learned to make a place for everything, and always put things back in their place.

Never underestimate the amount of time you can lose from looking for something that is only slightly out of place. Be it a pen, your glasses, or a USB stick.

So long as you are able, don’t disclose your impairment to anyone in an employment situation during the interviewing or new hire phase. Discrimination is awful and frustrating and illegal, but it is still the norm and it’s easiest to just avoid it if you can.
That policy is precautionary to give doctors guidance on how to prioritize patients if/when the hospitals run out of space/resources.

To my knowledge, these decisions have not had to be made yet. As mentioned in [3] Stockholm has space over and is accepting patients from the Sörmland region.
I don't have any answer for Zach (the poster), but I feel a big need to share my feelings about this.

I'm sipping a decent morning coffee, I'm in Japan, whereas my home is San Francisco. I've been here for ~5 weeks, trying to escape the coronavirus disaster that is unfolding in the US, and trying to enjoy spring in Japan as well. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a few weeks abroad without too many money worries.

Work is a disaster. The last ~4 years of my life have been both unlucky (e.g. recently I was offered a highly lucrative executive job in SF, only to see the CEO change his mind on the whole operation - not on me specifically - at the last moment) and badly handled by me.

My professional career essentially came to a halt and so far didn't recover. I still keep my cool, but I am a bit worried about what's going to happen in the future, especially given the current situation with the virus.

And now, in all of this, few minutes ago I've read "I'm going blind, how to prepare", and my perspective suddenly changed. It's as if something clicked, and I can now "see" the world as it is.

I'm incredibly lucky. Most of us here are incredibly lucky. Zach, you probably didn't mean it, but today you somehow triggered a very positive reaction in me. I wanted to let you know.

I also wish you best of luck with your condition, and hope that you will manage to have a great life despite a deteriorating health.
I still have one. //e Platinum, the last one.

Got my start on these machines. I keep it for games, and perspective as well as the occassional electronics project. Writing on it is fun too. Different words come out. Like I get at a mind frame otherwise not available.

Maybe this is why some authors stick with old, or odd tools.

Regulation isn’t the reason those sectors aren’t free markets. On the contrary, regulation exists because they can’t be free markets. Both lead to market failures due to information disparities, principal-agent problems, massive externalities, and a lack of free choice (in the case of health care).
