I don't think we can even call it misinformation, there is simply so much yet unknown that there are a lot of theories and ideas not yet validated. An invalidated idea is different than something known to be untrue

Maybe when things start to reopen, but in the Bay Area, transit agencies have been reporting incredibly low numbers. I heard stories of two people in a train car.
Patreon has always had its hands dirty in enforcing their definition of "morality" -- while I almost completely agreed with their decisions, banning "anime" was the last straw for me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/fho2ii/patreons_ba...

Each choice they made to ban an "influencer" in the name of morality was a massive hit to their business because by definition, not only was said influencer banned, but also the massive audience that he/she influenced.

Unfortunately, you can only successfully stick to an allow-all policy (with all of the dangerous content and liability/bad PR this entails), or you can haphazardly try to enforce your often-subjective definition of morality with all of its inconsistencies and edge cases, to your own detriment, like Patreon did (I'm a moral relativist).

It's a Faustian bargain because neither is a good business decision.

On March 9, Fauci answered a press conference question about whether everyone should cancel their spring break plans. He indicated that young healthy people can go cruising if they want, although elderly or sick people shouldn't.

On March 11, Twitter ordered all employees to work from home, in what I believe was the first complete office closure. (Other companies had closed specific Seattle offices earlier in the month, but I don't know if that counts.)

My observation in NYC metro: the idea of car sharing is flawed because turns out most demands are for weekend trips, and on weekdays the cars sit idle, which sorta defeats the purpose of sharing. As a result, if you use cars frequently on the weekends, it's much more convenient and only a bit more expensive to have your own car.
Salary + benefits + bonus + stock.

Health insurance is expensive. Don’t think many realize how much it costs employers.

Then obviously rent is the other big expense. And cloud computing.
Any data to reinforce your opinion?
Moreover average as a statistical measure seems a bit misleading for that case.
For a moment I started imagining what a mutable number would be like:

> 3 = 5

> print 3

5

The end
I understand what you're saying but I have to say it sounds a lot like nitpicking. It's highly doubtful that among the 73% infected there is a relevant portion of false positives, and I stress that the key point is the relevância because the vírus spreads like wildfire on mass gatherings and US prisons are designer to keep the prison population gatherings en masse. Thus it doesn't make any diferença if the infection rate is 73% or 53% or 33%, because the nature of the problema makes it unavoidable that the infection rate will go from 0 to 100% in a few days.
I actually am very glad that we did not have computers in my school at the end of the 80ies. This was in Lithuania, then a part of the USSR.
We had programming classes, so without the computers we were taught the basic concepts: variables, assignment, conditions, loops. Just concepts in a pseudolanguage. Later, when I had access to the computers learning the languages boiled down to "what's the syntax for this concept?"
And then writing my programs with a pen and paper because I had no computer at home for a few more years.

Now I sometimes shake my head when I see comments like "I do not know programming, which language (or worse—fraamework) should I learn?"
It is so tempting to say "duh, learn programming and worry about the languages later".
And yet there are still a large number of people who disagree with you, take the campaign as an affront and respond with defiance, which still makes use of that campaign instead of a less threatening one inherently dangerous. Notice that this is true even if you're right about the seatbelt law.

The cost of cleaning up the accident site is de minimis. The cost to the family is an internal family matter -- if you care about your loved ones, get them to wear their seat belts.

Absolutely agree with #1. I've had a similar experience - I run a business with Stripe, also in Australia.

We charge in USD because we serve primarily US customers.

I pay for the business expenses in USD.

I've opened a US/USD bank account with Transferwise.

But I can't use it with Stripe [1]. Their only choice is to have them convert our USD earnings to AUD and pay out to an AUD bank account.

So when I pay those business expenses, I'm either:

a) paying on an Australian debit or credit card, which charge us another 3% for every international transaction (3% seems to be the standard rate across all of our banks here), or

b) carefully managing our cash flow to transfer AUD to our Transferwise account, use TW to exchange to USD, and then pay with our TW card.

We did (a) for a while, now trying (b), but I'd love to see (c): Stripe pays our USD earnings to our USD bank account.

[1] Funnily/strangely enough, I can actually ADD the USD bank account to our Stripe account. It just sits there, lonely, with a 0.00 USD balance. It took reading through the docs to realise that USD payouts are not supported for Australian Stripe accounts.

Folks crap on Electron apps and rightfully so, but I absolutely LOVE one thing about them relative to native GUI apps.

I can hit cmd+ and cmd- to scale their content and UI up and down.

That is dang near a killer feature for me.

Very handy for presenting, screen sharing, when I move my apps to an external monitor with a slightly different UI, or for moments when my eyes are simply tired and I want something easy to read.

You can say that I shouldn't need hundreds of MB of RAM to run Slack's desktop client, and you ain't wrong, but I've got plenty of RAM. My eyes and my time are much more finite resources.
It's funny, because a friend of mine wanted to video chat yesterday. I wanted to use Hangouts, but he doesn't have an Google account (he's a director of his own company so he lives and dies with the company email), in the end he said: - No problem we'll just use Teams. Not having to create an account was kind of mind-blowing for me (in the "where's is the business incentive in not taking my email, and spamming it?!" kind of way).
I don't a once a century event give rationale people won't share cars. Generally people are very forgetful. E.g We have economic crashes every decade or so but perhaps even the majority of people still overspend on credit rather than sacrifice for rainy day funds.

Ultimately it will come down to price, convenience and personal budget. My opinion anyway.
The comments of the guy is classic case of subtle propaganda, passing opinion as truth for the western audience.
OK, good to know. So the process of rebuilding after having lost a disk will take less time with those other solutions?

Making things resilient against a kilowatt of non-ionizing microwave radiation seems challenging, in my experience it will burn the traces right off the PCB. A different game from the more common radiation-hardening where the concern is low power ionizing radiation.
> it's a central example of a law that shouldn't exist when the role of criminal law is to save innocent people from bad people and not idiots from themselves.

Seatbelts increase the chance of remaining in your seat - and thus in at least partial control of your vehicle - mid-accident. That protects more than just the idiots - it protects any passengers, and it protects the pedestrian wheeling a stroller on the sidewalk, when the idiot's car goes flying towards them during an accident, by giving the driver a chance to steer elsewhere.

> And then the campaign feels like a direct attack on the people who don't agree with the law, which encourages defiance, which is the exact opposite of the intended effect. With the further effect of making people angry while they're driving a car, which dangerous in itself.

Wikipedia has references suggesting it's done more good than harm on at least seatbelt wearing rates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_It_or_Ticket#Success

This doesn't measure anger induced traffic accidents, but anyone that easily angered on a regular basis will probably find some excuse to be angry no matter what if you ask me. At least if they direct their anger at a billboard instead of a fellow driver, they might be slightly less likely to get our of their car and start a fistfight?

> The cynic may also notice that such laws are commonly passed in order to generate revenue

This resonates with me, though, especially when prosecutors are... lax with evidence requirements.
It's an interesting problem

An even harder problem is figuring out the chord corresponding to a given set of notes. And it is surprisingly hard (though humans seem to do it "easily" (with experience).

Even harder because for some there is no right answer, or better, the right answer is the simplest. Yes C-E-G is a CMajor chord, but what is D-F-Bb-E ?
Thank you for the apology and I myself apologize for my own annoyed tone. Your first comment just struck a chord with me and especially since I was out of cigarettes right when I read it (nasty little coincidences).

That said, I agree that our social situation and environment have a lot to do with addiction, and definitely think this applies to cigarettes as well. Moving with the same thread in mind, this is also why I think attempting to quit, either cold turkey or incrementally, is usually better when one has the time and lack of other major stresses to seriously try it.

I've had many periods of being near broke, barely making ends meet with work that is underpaid and difficulty focusing on the steps necessary to improve my situation. In such situations, smoking has been one of the small dirty pleasures that helps ease these anxieties. And if focusing is already difficult in such a crucial moment, well you can imagine trying to hold onto focus while also trying to quit.

None of this is to downplay how dangerous it is to smoke under almost any circumstances, but i'd definitely say that there are both better moments and worse moments for trying to leave it behind.
This is very good news. I was wondering recently just how to do this, as I wanted to build everything with some different compiler configuration.
You’re right. I’m a French student myself and our education system has always been very "Cartesian". This is also partly due to the fact that we have a special competitive exam system for entering higher education (top business and engineering schools) where you spend 2-3 years absorbing unfathomable quantities of math, economics and history/geography. The emphasis on mathematical abstraction and especially proof here is insane.
States have their own police forces as well.

Present situation's already bad. Federalising the Guard would drive it up a notch.

At the end of the day, there's a lot more legitimate transactions than fraudulent ones. It's very difficult to restrict a particular type of purchase en masse without having a huge false positive rate. That's exactly why companies like Stripe work so hard on developing signals to feed into their fraud models.
Read my comments again. In my philosophy, we should strive to get rid of or minimize all necessary stuff, in order to free time, money and attention for pursuits of things one wants and not just needs.

So, painting stays, dusting the apartment goes.

I like the concept.

Honestly I think the toughest part is buying the debt.
I tried to do some research, but I'm even more confused how people do it. Do they just call up a bank and ask for some debt? Is there some online exchange for debt? California doesn't require a license or anything to buy debt, so in theory I should be able to, but I'm not sure exactly how to.
The myth of Anil Ambani unduly influencing Rafale has been debunked many times over. This was blown out of proportion by Mr. Rahul Gandhi as he wanted an easy issue for the election.
That's not true at all. Sorry they are completely visible, unless all of them are "static". Most of all it also leaks what imports need to be done - as in I require this from MSVCP140.dll or MSVCP140_1.dll - like "_CxxFrameHandler4"

Again I'm talking about statically linked libraries, linked to the dynamic CRT (MSVCRT - e.g. /MD, not /MT)

> On March 9, Fauci answered a press conference question about whether everyone should cancel their spring break plans. He indicated that young healthy people can go cruising if they want, although elderly or sick people shouldn't.

I feel that's a gross misrepresentation of the statement. Essentially his point was that high-risk population (read older people with “serious underlying conditions.”) should go to extreme steps to avoid contracting the disease, but those who are not then could go on with their lives.

If that wasn't clear by itself, the very same article you posted includes this quote from Fauci stated in the prior day:

> Yesterday, Fauci told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, “Elderly with underlying conditions, heart disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes (should) not wait, but right now, to sort of take look at things that are at high risk, crowded places, getting on airplanes, and absolutely don’t get on a cruise ship.”
The machines you were likely running Opera on were a lot less powerful though. Doing a bit less on a Pentium IV might be more impressive than rendering a modern website on an i5.
The last two Prolog 8 week intensive classes put on by the SWI-Prolog community have taught more than 400 people modern Prolog, so yes its growing and depending on what kinds of problems you're dealing with it may be worth picking up now.

Like most tools that give companies a serious competitive advantage they aren't really talking about it.

Does it change the way you think about programming?

Definitely.

Prolog gives me the tools to solve the right problem the right way in ways I'd be scared to attempt in other languages.

Consider the following scenario. You run a forum. It's super succesful. You now need to implement access control.

In most languages I think white lists. Then you need to add a blacklist, then some sort of inheritance, then its a mess.

In Prolog going straight for role based access is 50 lines of code. Tops.

I have worked at universities in the UK and Norway, and believe me, this stuff matters. A lot.

Its great that students can make an informed choice about where to start, particularly if they do not come from an academic household. Its not a given that people have heard of places like MIT, and these lists are a somewhat neutral way of seeing which universities are the most "legit". You have to remember that a lot of low-quality institutions are marketing themselves pretty hard to students, and if it weren't for rankings it would be easy to make bad choices when choosing a place to study.

Honestly, Vodafone should be calling out Jio- they’re going to die because of it.

Jio has had some eye opening advantages-

Jio abused the stress test period for their network and essentially launched their service for free saying “join Jio, next few months free! (Fine print, this is technically a stress test.)

The way the auction for spectrum was conducted was magical- they had a front company With impressive bureaucracy wrangling power.

The stench of malfeasance is strong here.

That said fundamentally this is an issue that relates to the death of competition in the market.

Since the bungled SC auction verdict destroyed a vibrant telecom market, we’ve dropped to a triopoly- and heading fast to a duopoly.

What is sad is that the previous governments had done a truly impressive job of threading the economic needle when it came to designing a telecom market with competition.

Indian telecom was a boon to its impoverished customer base. Now it’s becoming a cabal.
