I don't think it did. I'm sure they would have liked it if incompleteness didn't hold, but PM was influential in advancing mathematical logic, which is still going strong. What happened is that the system itself was supplanted by first order logic and set theory.
To be honest, I don't think the president would like the rent to be pardonned, like France is doing.

>Within the span of a few seconds, Trump strings together "disinfectant" and "injection" and "sounds interesting".

So, you are fully and entirely aware that he said nothing of the sort, so much so you afraid to actually quote him and just want to pull individual words and say "these words were near each other!". And none of those words are drink or bleach. This supports my point.

>We've already seen someone drink chloroquine phosphate, after days of Trump mentioning hydroxychloroquine multiple times

And when the woman who poisoned her husband with fish tank cleaner is convicted, is that going to change anything in your mind? Or will you simply dismiss reality as inconvenient and cling to your media created fantasy?

Nope. Why is it normal to take a few weeks to release the source? If it's good enough to release its good enough o publish openly.

> but only works reliably in the early stages

No, it only works if there is enough virus to be detected. If you are infected, you will have a high enough count to be detected. Each type of PCR test is highly selective. The point of them is that they can differentiate between many types of virus, depending on how its setup.

> Antibody tests only work after several days of infection

Yes. Depending on the type of test, and how its done. it can be up to a month before these tests are accurate.
Globally, there were estimated to be 3.3 billion employed people in 2018: https://www.un.org/development/desa/dpad/publication/world-e...

That’s more than the entire global population was in 1964. So it’s not exactly like there’s a dwindling base of extremely high skilled jobs and majority unemployment. You are right that the minimum skill level is rising for many desirable jobs in developed countries. There are still plenty of jobs to be done that can be taught in one afternoon though.

It’s true that in many sectors in developed countries–such as agriculture–fewer workers use automation to achieve a higher level of productivity than historically. However, most industrial jobs lost in developed nations are a result of outsourcing to low cost economies, not being out-competed by automatons. The people who no longer have to toil in the fields didn’t just give up on life; they ended up as hairdressers, therapists, accountants, decorators, shopkeepers, software developers etc.

We’re not remotely close to automating vast numbers of jobs, and even when we do there will be more jobs to be done. Comparative advantage tells us that even if the machines are way better than people at everything, it will still make economic sense to put people to work at what they can do best.
None of that is relevant to my post. A major symptom of Trump derangement syndrome is the inability to understand that criticizing the bad behavior of the press is not a defense of Trump. No matter how stupid Trump is, it in no way excuses the media intentionally lying about what he says.

Why? Do you for some reason assume that the author is an expert on hardware and authority on picking the best, most compatible parts?

Do you not have your own specific requirements and use cases? It is better you do some research on your own end and learn to pick the parts that will best work for you.

Ryzen CPUs run hot, the stock cooler is garbage.

The tower is not silenced, and with the stock cooler you will have a lot of fan noise both from the CPU fan and chassis fans.

Ryzen 3900 is a much better choice than the 3600, especially for CPU intensive work like compilation.

The M2 disk is on the slow end.

The motherboard supports 128 GB RAM, but now all 4 DIMM sockets are used for 64 GB. You should go with 2x32 GB, in case you have a need for more RAM later on.

There are more issues here, but those are the worst.
So the American revolution was just Treason then, right?

Is how we should plainly describe it in the history books?

And since the movement to abolish slavery in the Empire was already afoot, and slavery was abolished outside the US (within the Empire) shortly after the American revolution - and - George Washington & Co. supported slavery, supported the wide expansion of the slave trade to the point wherein the US was the last place in the 'modern world' to abolish slavery nearly a century later ...

Should we commonly refer to Americans as 'Traitors' and Slavers and ban the Stars and Stripes as well? There are definitely a few who would support that.

History is complicated and has many perspectives. Flags mean different things to different people for different reasons at different times.

Obviously, the Confederate flag is complicated and divisive enough that it shouldn't be used relating to public office especially at the federal level. But to simply imply the Southern states were merely 'Traitors' (as some would have it), would be to use too narrow a lens and misrepresent that part of history. I don't think anyone in 2020 is going to miss out on the act it was largely about slavery.
Secure delivery is a must. And not to the street or even front doorstep. Who has a front doorstep? Most folks live in an apartment building. How about delivery to the balcony? To the back porch? To a secure box at the curb? To wherever the receiver marks as their delivery spot?
So, it looks like most asymptomatic infections later become infectious. Basically every person who gets symptoms had a multi-day asymptomatic infectious period they went through. SARS-CoV-2 does a better job than most of avoiding the automatic immune system because its large genome lets it encode a bunch of proteins that aren't for making new viruses but rather screwing with the immune system in ways that let it reach high numbers before the immune system catches on. Every virus that can actually make you sick does this but SARS-CoV-2 seems better than most. But frequently you're able to fight off the infection at a later point before the part of the automatic immune system reaction that makes you feel sick kicks into play but after you're got a chance to infect other people.

The normal course of the automatic immune system wiping out an invading pathogen without you noticing is that it happens immediately without you noticing and you never get a chance to infect anyone. But if that doesn't happen for COVID-19 or influenza or most things there'll be a time period after infection but before you notice anything where you're infectious. For COVID-19 this period is particularly infectious compared to the flu or SARS-1 or most things. It might be that flu and other coronaviruses tend to people who are infected enough to transmit the virus but never go on to develop symptoms. I don't know in that case.
I tried to use NixOS a few years ago, and it was reallly hard.

The Nix language didn't have good tutorials and I couldn't use any of my NPM skills with the Nix package manager.

I saw talk from one guy who wanted to make the Nix package manager use commands that were more like in other package managers.

Did any of this happen?

I really think NixOS and GuixSD are the next generation Linux distributions and want to use it.

All studies that point to it being airborne are from medical setting or are misrepresented in the media. For example there's a new one that circulates abbreviated to "air conditioned restaurants make SARS-CoV-19 airborne".

Comment + source:
https://twitter.com/alicesim/status/1254057546333241346

As for your source: it misrepresents SARS as airborne in the same way most other publications of this ilk do: by taking examples from medical setting and extrapolating from that. It even admits the setting but keeps the general "airborne" label for the sake of argument.

> SARS-CoV-1, did spread in the air. This was reported in several studies and retrospectively explained the pathway of transmission in Hong Kong’s Prince of Wales Hospital

Yes, this virus can become airborne if aerosol generating procedure is performed on an infected patient. But 1) you don't intubate people in restaurants, and 2) that's why PPE is so important for medical staff, because they do operate in conditions in which this virus can become airborne. That's also why you can't visit people in hospitals any more.

You can't do contact tracing of airborne infection that is this contagious. Measles hover in the room for hours after spraying and you can't trace down everyone who was doing groceries across 5h in your local market (I'm glad we have vaccine for measles). But you can do tracking and isolation of SARS-CoV-19 patients. Why? Because droplets are pulled down to surfaces and are no longer dangerous within seconds to minutes after spraying. But they do stay on surfaces, that's why hand hygiene is so important.
How do you realistically use this app if you have to keep it open. You and everyone else are so focussed on convincing everyone that it’s safe, etc and totally ignoring the practical aspects of it. For someone to have the app open for 15 mins within 1.5m all day.. how will that be done, it requires a large conscious commitment. You might as well just ask the person who is in your personal space for 15 consecutive minutes

If it worked in the background that’s more useful and realistic.
Very cool! It looks like the primary focus here is displaying the messages in multiple folders at the same time; I like the message opens where it has space to open.

The account management settings page mentions needing an application password for Gmail — you'll also need one to add a Fastmail account (it looks like it retrieves through IMAP and sends through SMTP).

When I added an account, the account's existing folders weren't displayed to me anywhere (I was expecting the sidebar), but it looks like you can add a column for an existing folder and it'll just work.

It also looks like the action of dragging a message from one column to another removes it from one folder and adds it to another, which makes sense for a kanban board, but might get a little weird with Fastmail's labels mode, where a message can exist in multiple folders! (https://beta.fastmail.com/help/receive/labels-beta.html)
They've been expanding the bike share things here. I nearly used them last year, but they are even more so now. I suspect I'll bike this summer.

Isn't it interesting that there isn't much of interest for the most successful major European-Asian country out there?

I am talking about Turkey, where death rates are even lower than Germany and the curfews are partial. There's an abundance of IC units despite the 100K cases and the spread curve is already going down and the country is in a position to offer substantial help to other major countries.

There have been some CNN[0] and BBC reporting on this but with the numbers THAT good, I would have expected much higher interest. I know about the democracy and free speech situation but the country is not North Korea, Turkey is actually doing that good in managing the situation.

Just switch Turkey on in this website and you'll see how much better Turkey is doing.

I am beginning to suspect that the Eurocentric mindset is literally killing Europeans at this time. There's a hugely successful country that is integrated with Europe, has some of its territory in Europe, it has a population of a large European country and yet nobody seems to think about looking at Turkey for an example.

As a quick note, Turkey manages to do this through aggressive contact tracing through thousands of tracking teams around the country. It was revealed that in Istanbul alone there are 1200 contact tracing teams consisting of doctors, nurses and etc. that track down every infection. It's not as cool as having Tech giants make an app but it works. According to the health ministry, these teams use purpose built apps to coordinate and the entire health system is well integrated and they monitor every single patients status - be it at home or in the hospital and have very good picture of the situation.

Turkey has many problems but the health system is not one of them and maybe it's worth taking a look at.

This is great advice, it seems like offering the book for free is just as good, if not better, than marketing it with traditional advertising!

The author's point that having it online keeps the book relevant is also a great point to consider. An online book is now integrated with the rest of the internet, instead of being firewalled away into obscurity.
Damn it! I live in Quebec, this province makes everything extremely complicated and then wonders why most companies don't want to deal with them and most people leave.

Most Canadian's know to live in this province only if you can maximize the gains from it. Buying a first time house, starting a family, and or immigrating to Canada.
There should be a Promise.isThenable or Promise.is. Strictly speaking this library checks if a value is a thenable.

With optional chaining I would however use this check:

typeof x?.then === 'function'

Or if I was code golfin:

x?.then?.call

The first case does not account for built in prototype extensions and the second has false positives with certain data structures.

So the function in is-promise should be available as Promise.isThenable or Promise.is.

Peter Dutton's proposed "give me your password" law:

https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/peter-dutton-p...

> Under the proposals, people who are not even suspected of a crime would face a fine of up to $50,000 and up to five years’ imprisonment for declining to provide a password to their smartphone, computer or other electronic devices.

> Furthermore, anyone (an IT professional, for example) who refuses to help the authorities crack a computer system when ordered will face up to five years in prison. If the crime being investigated is terrorism-related then the penalty for non-compliance increases to 10 years in prison and/or a $126,000 fine.

> Tech companies who refuse to assist authorities to crack encryption when asked to do so, will face up to $10 million in fines. What’s more, if any employee of the company tells anyone else they have been told to do this, they will face up to five years in gaol.
My dad is 65 years old and still thinks he is immune to advertising, but he literally reads email ads and deal sites, and users those to inform his decisions. I am pretty sure he thinks an ad has never convinced him to buy a product he didn't already want, therfore he is immune to it.

If you define influence to be whatever you want, of course you can say you are not influenced by ads.
I, too, can vouch for Automate the Boring Stuff with Python -- one of the first resources I used to learn a bit of Python since I wanted hands-on, practical lessons. I'll check out Think Python as well.
being in debt as a country is very different to being in debt as an individual as a country's expenditure directly correlate to its earnings. in this sense, it's unwise for a country to 'save' in the same way individuals do -- since, for example in this case if small businesses collapse causing their workers to spend less (or nothing at all) the decrease in economic activity will lower tax income to the country itself.

when it comes to the US injecting 2 trillion dollars, that's from quantitative easing which is not 'borrowed', it's just generated by the central bank of the country directly to increase liquidity. it's similar to a stock split, but for a country. The total 'value' in the economy stays the same, but the additional liquidity creates an increase in economic activity for some time which may allow investors to switch investments from short to longer term. I've seen a lot of people online who think the US had $2T lying around somewhere but it's quite the opposite.

slightly unrelated to your comment particularly but -- I wish the analysis of governments being able to spend like this from the average person wasn't either 'governments are going more into debt than they should' or 'governments have money but don't use it on their people', but 'governments have access to spending powers that individuals do not, which can massively benefit an economy in the way no other entity's spending can'.
I was basing it on the public statements of the Health Minister[1].

Now, it's very possible that they'll release it tomorrow and this whole discussion will have been a waste of time -- but at the time of writing the Minister for Government Services said unequivocally that they would release the source code[2] and later the Health Minister said they were "unsure it would be safe"[1], and finally when the app was released the source code was nowhere to be seen. To be fair, he was insistent that they would release it (despite being "unsure it would be safe").

But sure, I also wouldn't be surprised to discover that the whole process has been delayed by some other bureaucracy. After all, they probably see releasing the source code as a token gesture and not a form of review by the public.

Leaving aside that one office I do go into sometimes is in a suburban office park (but I suppose I can take commuter rail/Uber when I needed to go in). I have lots of friends scattered around the area. Most do not live in the city. It's very usual for me on weekends to go to the mountains/shore/skiing/etc. all of which need cars. (And the handful of people I know who live in e.g. SF without cars use Zipcar and rentals a lot to pickup things, etc.)

When I travel in the US, I go places like national parks which all need cars to get to.

I would absolutely not be fine with living in a city with no real way to get out of it.
