I know that "con flu" is mostly anecdotal, but a preponderance of evidence is still a preponderance of evidence, and quite litterally every person person I've known that regularly goes to conferences and conventions has not only heard of con flu, but has had it on more than one occasion. It's absolutely a thing.
Should be fixed now, if you refresh. Thanks again for mentioning it.
Regardless of Spitfires, Alan Turing, anti-sub technology, RADAR etc, WW2 was won and lost on the Eastern front. The Normandy invasion would have been impossible without the Russians sacrificing between 8-11 million soldiers. This compares to about 400k each for the UK and US.

I'm just saying, don't get carried away with the technological superiority argument, there was plenty of innovation on both sides. After all, the engineer that designed the Apollo rocket was a Nazi weapons scientist.
They become so desperate to make you create an account.
You being entertained on the train by judging people on their phones sounds hardly more valuable as a hobby than them being entertained by judging people in instagram stories.
Evolutionary ecology meets the antibiotic crisis: Can we control adaptation?
That report came from a leak that has been misinterpreted, says Gilead: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/23/gilead-says-draft-of-coronav...
I’m an essential worker going to the grocery at 10am because there’s less people there. My hours are flexible at work and we’re set up to do staggered shifts to minimize number of people in the building.
I have not been able to recover my account in about 3 years.

Every time I follow the steps to report the issue, I am linked back to the main troubleshooting start page where the process restarts a la Groundhog Day.

It was hacked and taken over by a Russian account who subsequently realized I have no friends of consequence and so abandoned it. But every single time I try to go through the official channels to recover the account I cannot!

Instagram doesn't care about account recovery because it boosts internal metrics when people make new accounts. I wish concerns like mine were prioritized rather than influencers who need a new way to ask for money from their followers.
a. That isn't a supreme court case

b. This 1945 precedent is not the standard that most modern antitrust (post-Bell breakup) cases are held to.
If you hang up, how does that help? Are you talking about them trying to make you think they hung up?

If so, it sounds like a long-shot tactic, especially because everyone uses cell phones now.
That would be a very useful follow up study with this same population.
It reads to me more like a disincentive to avoid participating on the platform. Twitter did this recently as well. You can view a simple timeline, but clicking on anything will require you register or log in.

I'm split on this, but I'm far more erring on the side of reclassifying social media as a utility. There's simply no way for someone to protect themselves from criminal activity (bullying, identity theft, fraud, libel/slander, terrorism) on these platforms without them having to expose their PPI to and participate on each platform. The same for police and the FBI. And that concerns me because Twitter and Facebook have become breeding grounds for illegal activity, covering everything from pedophilia to terrorism. The last thing we need is a social media company going Apple a-la refusing to break the encryption on an iPhone 5C used to facilitate a serious crime.

Justine Sacco was in 2014. And it took Justine over two years to find employment after a random user spam-retweeted her post. So, we've had six more years for these platforms to fester the worst of the worst of our society. Today, you can do what Zoe Quinn did: Post a fabricated claim of sexual abuse and violence committed willfully by someone she knew, and only few publicly knew, had a serious mental disorder and history of self-harm, and then actively enlist support to limit distribution of evidence proving the fabrication and prior knowledge, and eventually evade prosecution when that person, Alec Holowka, commits suicide after being blocked through several attempts to clear his name.

I apologize for the rant. That's not the point of your comment or my reply. But I hope this at least demonstrates why I want Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, etc. to be under government thumb. Without it, we're going to see more criminal activism and behavior protected for one demographic but not another because the only metric for Twitter or Facebook or IG policy is revenue.
Anecdotally, and I haven't done any serious testing of this, my work colleagues and I have noticed that on our 2017, 15 inch MacbookPros, wired Ethernet (either from a dongle, or a hub) is only reliable on the right hand side. One co-worker has realized he has to plug in his hub after boot, but before he logs in in order for the device to be recognized, if the hub is wired into his wall drop. There are obvious work-arounds to all these issues, but it's frustrating to have these sorts of problems on such an expensive machine.
That is what the author thinks. Not sure this is the actual solution. Outlawing Political Parties is the first step, but that is as improbable as it sounds.
I'm not sure I follow. If you've ended the call, and you call the bank number on your card, how exactly would the call get routed to the scammers?
Yes, I know, unfortunately there is still too much attitude of "just change as root x y in some/path/accesible/to/root"

A dose of a "normal-user"-hostility is kind of a given in Linux platforms, the best reflected by:

https://xkcd.com/619/

and sometimes it's, unfortunately, unavoidable for us when we are in the user's role to have to "just change as root that x y somewhere."

Long term, the goal should be to raise the awareness that there is a real need for most of the configuration to be easily transferable from the installation to the installation. But what we get instead is "just change as root wherever" and the containers for containers being run in the containers -- more bloat, but still not less demanding to maintain.

I really think Red Hat is not appreciated enough for their work on maintaining stability. The optimal solution will be when we have really stable platforms on which we will be able to easily and cheaply have recent languages, but also stable. Knowing how unstable practically a lot of programming platforms are, I am aware we're still not there. But... raise the awareness!
That sounds like an unnecessarily aggressive way to handle that. It certainly could have been an honest mistake on the part of the user who owned that account. Why not just change the email address on the account?

Of the people who died of this virus, yes, it is likely that a not insignificant percentage were in pretty bad shape. We are not talking about the whole population who have these comorbidities in the country.
I'm quite confused by this article. Instagram has never allowed me to see photos. I have never had an Instagram account and refuse to get one. They'll let me maybe scroll a "teaser" but that pop-up will always happen and always has.
Hasn't Mac software run with non-admin user permissions by default since the first version of OS X?

Availability isn't usage. Most people don't get new routers every year.
I've been using Xubuntu for over 10 years. Besides a lighter Desktop environment, I don't know if it offers something else. The advantage over Ubuntu+Gnome+XFCE is that there are fewer packages installed on the system, which means there are fewer compatibility issues and fewer packages to update.
There is something McDonald's level addicting with coke that you just don't get from a pepsi.

It's not the taste but the feeling afterwards.
Yeah that may have not been the correct phrase to turn there. I guess in this context it's more about personal ownership of data. Which at this point in time, is 100% trust based with Amazon and 0% tech based.

I don't think that's something people, even many very technologically knowledgeable people, are aware of.
Smart! I will have to look into a solution like this. I want to follow all the artists and creators on Instagram but I don't want to be swamped with all the other inanity.

The hard part will probably be finding an agent to represent the company. Assuming they validate bans based on company representatives.
Well, it looks like in the end that much-criticized imperial model might be right on transmission rates but way off on the fatality rate and with that predicted deaths.

It pretty much looks like none of the epidemiological models are reasonably accurate on both, case numbers and fatally rates

Yeah, I was having a long discussion about this with a friend, and this is precisely where the misconception lies.

The problem with the 32->64 transition (or x86->ARM) doesn't lie with active businesses failing to "get with the program" and update their software - it lies with abandonware. With software that's been put out either by defunct companies or sometimes literally deceased programmers.

In some niches, this sort of stuff is really, really common - generally this is the case if there's a really stable API for building things, like VST plugins, and if the niche in question has a lot of failed businesses. A lot of times in the pro audio space, a musician will spend a large part of their career "collecting" a ton of little one-off sound libraries and fx plugins, because these are the only way they can get the computer to produce that exact kind of sound they're looking for. This collection slowly builds up over the course of, say, a decade - just like a graphic designer would collect fonts.

The difference is that unlike fonts, which last had their "greet the reaper" moment back when bitmap fonts got scrapped in the mid-90s (despite OpenType becoming a thing, TrueType fonts from the 90s still work fine, some 30 years later), any audio plugins that aren't compatible with the cpu architecture die out. And that's just really brutal to a working musician.

You can't get an update to most of those because there's a ton of attrition in that industry; lots of small-time plugin makers realize pretty fast that it's a very difficult place to make any kind of ROI, so they quit after a few years.

--

Games are in a really similar place - they're a business slaughterhouse where most companies that attempt to make something discover they're not going to cover the initial investment, so after the game's produced it typically gets a couple of years of barebones support, and then gets abandoned - or the company just croaks. Any kind of rewrite is completely out of the question. The tragedy is that most of these games are pretty good and fun, they're just not economically viable.

I love apple moving the tech forward, but we desperately need a better emulation solution, and/or we've got to get the industry off of coding for bare metal.
While your comment is genuinely amusing it should be stated that the eGPU wouldn't be needed when out and about since you'd only be running the one screen. So in some ways having an eGPU is the best of both worlds: something equivalent to a desktop PC when "docked" at his desk but still a usable portable device when out and about.
> There are ways that you can use AWS that Amazon would have no way to access any of your data even if they wanted to.

Is it worth the extra effort and moving already functional servers to do so?
This will be great for rural fixed wireless ISPs. The more channels that might not have interference, the better.
Yep, and the chromium migration broke my webex meetings.

First I had to research and find out how to give it microphone permissions. That worked, but the mic works for about one minute then stops.

So frustrating, I had to move meetings to Firefox which is where I do most of my work. I like to have two browsers to split the work to that which is most appropriate.
More like 50-80%, you just need spread to be impeded so that r falls below 1, but for that many people to get it would mean very high deaths, in the US 1% of 80% of 320m is > 2m deaths.
Since there are literally laws on the books in many states that explicitly delegate this power, for this precise purpose, "invented out of whole cloth a few months ago" seems an extraordinary claim. Find a credible source?

When you do so, remember that the "lockdown" we're experiencing falls far short of a "general quarantine". You can in fact leave your house, and travel between states, free from pretty much any tracking or extra surveillance. Most of the police power being exercised falls under business regulation; where you're feeling the lockdown the most is likely in the fact that you have so few places to go right now.

Because it's easy to find sources discussing the legal controversy of general quarantines. But you'll notice they're mostly talking about the due process concerns of doing the equivalent of imprisoning people without trials, not closing the bars.
And most people replace their router every 5-10 years when the old one dies. And/or get whatever cheap box their ISP sends them.
The people attending an event like SXSW aren't like your regular citizens. The wealth profile is different. The visitors have spending money, often a lot of it. Many will treat the event as vacation or otherwise a justification for indulging themselves. Some will be able to expense their spending. Taking this into account, as well as geographical concentration, I can easily imagine that restaurants and cafes in the area could have 100% increase in sales for the duration of the event.

As I said, it's already intended to be sandboxed for security. As I've clarified in an edit, my point was that CPU-based virtual GPUs perform so poorly that they aren't worth implementing.

Well there are of course always tweaks, but FPTP just has those incentives and you inevitably trend towards those bad outcomes and problems.

I mean the video explains it way better than I ever could, and there are a bunch of other political systems and the maths behind them explained ELI5 style.
I take it as an interesting "follow what they do, not what they say" commentary that these UHNWI's, despite the overwhelmingly asymmetrical power they wield in the economy and politics, are voting no confidence in the capitalist model they themselves sit upon the apex of. So capitalism as currently practiced for them is a convenient fig leaf for a non-cooperating internal model they run and operate off of in their own minds, until it blows up from its internal contradictions and they need to sit it out until it blows over?

Even the most self-sufficient retreats I've read about I estimate can only last about a generation on their own before their tech base rapidly dissolves, and the residents face a harsh decline. As our civilizational complexity and population density increases, the challenges facing our species keep creeping up the effects' time horizon. It's already a Red Queen's race for all but the biggest retreats to outlast these types of large-scale disruptions.

If you really want to prep, then you build for redundancy, you build for the long-term (decades, centuries, millennia, not days, weeks, years), you build for positive sum, win-win outcomes, you build for continuous striving towards post-scarcity, inclusively across as many people as there are resources for. That level of preparedness is nearly impossible to kill, is self-regenerating across generations, with no retreat-building necessary because the "retreats" are all over the place.

To be clear, I’m not accusing Zuckerberg or anyone else of avoiding philanthropy altogether. No doubt Zuckerberg has donated a lot of money to charity.

He has a major foundation whose stated goal is to improve wellbeing around the world and a massive social media company that constantly markets itself as making the world a better place.

If his foundation and company are truly fulfilling their missions, why is he buying up land in Hawaii and elsewhere to go hide out if everything goes bust?

Whether we like it not, people like Zuckerberg are some of the biggest leaders on the planet. We worship the kind of money and power people like him have.

To see people like that so unsure of the world in which they have an immense amount of influence over deeply undercuts their image of being these brilliant and visionary leaders.
Google should be returning the highest quality results. If thats a paywalled newspaper, it should not be excluded.

However, I do think some kind of tag, similar to [AD] could appear next to the result, warning you not to click it, [PW] or [LW] for paywall and loginwall.
If you're fitting a model to observations, they'll have something of an inverse (but of course non-linear) relationship. So if your virulence estimates are worse than your transmissivity estimates, or vice versa, the bad measurement is going to push the model out of whack.
Although it should be noted that incomplete herd immunity will still help, by reducing the number of other containment measures which must be taken.
What kind of "full data" would you want from the customer? Earlier, you mentioned their name. Why can't the customer's transaction be as anonymous as possible, if they choose to be?

It seems as if Amazon, likely prodded by the GDPR and CCPA, is limiting the personal information they share with third parties. I think that's a good thing, for the consumer at least.
Singapore is similar, in that pay for top public servants is competitive with top private sector pay. And they try to attract the best and brightest.
I have a small company developing software in the mental health area. College degree provides a convenient filter for us in hiring. The percentage of quality applicants without a degree is just so low we don't even look at their applications at all.

Are there tech companies that do things differently? Absolutely. But you'd never get an interview with us or anyone like us without a degree. And there are a lot of businesses like us. It's up to you whether passing that filter for certain kinds of jobs is worth finishing your degree.
The US's influenza mortality figures are a combined influenza and pneumonia figure because they usually don't even bother actually screening for influenza.

Research attempting to determine how much of that figure is infected with influenza have found figures like 1/3rd (though with large differences year to year).
I love B&H, we planned family holidays from the UK specifically around buying from this shop. When the $/£ exchange was healthier we got some real bargains!
The sampling location isn't meant to exclude essential workers, it's meant to avoid only sampling essential workers.

IE: if you measured at workplaces that would capture only essential workers, if you measure at people's homes during work hours, you get people who mostly are quarantining, if you measure at a grocery, you might get a mix of both, etc.
Similar situation,a bit different: I had an user agent activated on my laptop (yeah, I wanted to create an Insta account from my laptop)and after 3 failed attempt my account was blocked for shady interaction. I had to contact the customer support and send them a picture with me with a code number they gave me. Yes...

It only works in the UK where the phone call only ends after both sides hang up. The idea is you can hang up go to a different room and resume the conversation. The results are this fraud is possible.

I believe no other country has that feature.
I like to think we are the vendor :-)
Have you given PixelFed a shot?
The United Kingdom phone system has what is called "far-end supervision" where the circuit-switched landline system will only disconnect the call from the receiving caller if the phone where the call originated hangs up.

This trick only works if the receiving caller is on a landline. It will not work on mobile phones.
I think this is just a special case of “online communication”. It’s illegal for the phone company to arbitrarily suspend your service for what (legal things) you say over the phone.

It’s legal for Twitter or Amazon or Etsy or Twitch or Discord or YouTube.

I recently got suspended by Twitter after using it daily for 12 years and in addition to not being able to send new tweets or DMs (or do data backup/takeout), I also can no longer see even the usernames (or the message history) of the people I was communicating with in DM. For many of them, that was my only contact info for them.

I am becoming increasingly convinced for the need to regulate arbitrary suspensions for communications platforms (including sales/business platforms, that’s just a special case of communication). The current emergency situation really woke me up to the huge dangers involved.

GP lost his business, which is sad and tragic and unfair. I envision that in disasters or emergencies, eventually someone is going to lose their life.

Imagine if the mobile phone or cable company could arbitrarily suspend your connectivity because you left bad reviews online about their service.

I recently did a deep dive on how these sorts of centralized, censorship systems pose an inherent and existential threat to safety and human rights in an emergency/pandemic/war that is non-obvious in peacetime: https://sneak.berlin/20200421/normalcy-bias/

It’s truly terrifying to me that these systems (among them Amazon, Discord, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram) have final say, practically, over who gets to speak to whom in a lot of cases in society, or what is allowed to be said. These companies (and the government in their jurisdiction) are entirely unaccountable for this terrible censorship power they wield, and it is only a matter of when, not if, it will be horribly abused. TFA is just one important facet of this danger.
