Bookmarked! While it seemed unable to locate my home address for some reason, when I manually dragged the pin it planned a route from my work to my home nearly identical to the one it took me several weeks of harrowing journeys with Google Maps and looking at PDFs of bike routes to find.

This has big implications when advertisers get banned due to bad behaviors. Previously a bad actor who gets banned could easily just quickly reopen a new account. If they need to get verified, there are a few steps which increase expenses and turn around time. If they need to create a new shell entity every time they get banned, it adds significantly to amount of time and money required to get their shady advertising out.

This is particularly important right now as the cost of advertising on Google (and in general) is going down right now because of the pandemic.
> The fact that it has been going on for decades doesn't make the point less valid. This

No, the fact it what you describe has not been going on for decades. It is an occasional response to extreme events, not a continuous mode of operation, and your criticism is all about the potential risk it has as a continuous mode of operation. There've been a couple major cases fairly recently, but that was in response to the biggest financial crisis in 70 years and the most significant acute global pandemic in over a century happening to fall a little over a decade apart, not some change in general approach.
I also rate these stands - but it has rubber grips. You're not going to get any heat transfer from laptop to stand, so it's not going to act as a heatsink.
I would disagree, the free market is working just fine. Many brands are no longer selling on Amazon and doing very well.

We don't need laws to restrict one party from taking advantage of another in a deal... it just takes brains and some companies are using theirs to partner with other platforms or sell DTC(Direct To Consumer)
This is not only obvious, it's Amazon's explicit strategy to have their own products listed alongside 3rd party products. It's been that way ever since they made the then-controversial decision to launch a 3rd party marketplace business in 1999 to compete vs eBay.
You're either missing the point or strawmanning, I'm not sure which.

In speaking with Congress, they're stating to everyone that they are there to act as a platform for third parties. They're a "pass-thru" service.

That implies that while metadata may be being collected, you shouldn't be looking at it, as it isn't "yours". It would be like a cloud provider going into business undercutting their client's because they weren't savvy enough to encrypt their business records. Or the post office going through your B2B mailings, figuring out your footprint, them becoming a competitor.

You have one job. That's it. Once you start abusing your access to your seller's transaction data to figure out where to or whether to diversify into their vertical, there is a fundamental breach of trust, and a very reasonable case to be made in having exploited something you shouldn't be.

That's the Hobbesian Leviathan for you; you don't need all those little businesses anyway!
They shouldn’t be but this is not true now. What they’ve done has directly propped up asset prices. No question. This isn’t a second order effect. They know what they are doing.

This was covered about a month ago in episode 595 of This Week in Virology[1], in answer to a listener question:

Rich Condit: Garrett writes: The CDC guidelines are to test hospitalized patients and symptomatic health care workers first, and the symptomatic general public last. This seems backwards to me.

Alan Dove: Yeah. I just had this conversation with my wife after she had some, I mentioned this before, she had some coughing and shortness of breath, got immediately sent to the ER in the hospital where she works, and they did a chest x-ray, it was clear, and they said, "Ok, you don't meet criteria for testing. Go back to work." And she's been fine since then, and she, we were talking about it and she said, "Well, isn't that exactly who they should test, because then I could go and infect patients?" and I said, "Well, if they had enough tests, yes. But if you expand the testing to the people who are less sick, you don't have enough tests. Whereas if you restrict the testing to the people who are sickest, you do have enough tests." So it's a.. it's not the right way to do it, but it's the way that you actually can do it.

Vincent Racaniello: Yeah, we're in this position because we don't have enough tests. We didn't ramp up...

Dove: Because we don't have enough tests. We didn't prepare fast enough.

Racaniello: If we had, we could test a lot of people and get an idea of how many actual infections there were, which would be very useful. But... we can't. So we're stuck with this current policy.

I bought some as part of the Stranger Things promotion, so assuming it actually does match the original recipe, it was pretty good. I did blind taste tests with the rest of the family and everyone picked New Coke as their preferred flavour. I guess the best way to describe it is it seemed a bit sweeter (but not more sugary), in the same way Tab had a sweeter flavor profile compared to Diet Coke.
Oh dear, you won't quite make it to the end of the bet then... =/
I feel like they did make investments in MacBooks, just not the kind I want. I care less about a thinner laptop. Keep the same thickness with a nicer screen and overall build quality. Apples focused abit too much on aesthetic over function, but with the recent 16” MacBook, they’re making course corrections.

Personally I can’t figure out my development workflow on Windows. I tried the Linux subsystem stuff and IO was just too damn slow. 15 minutes to install a few package dependencies. For a while, I ended up running Ubuntu on another machine that I would SSH into for all my side projects just so I have my trusty zshell and all the nice package managers and other build tools.
It could but realistically it's unlikely to happen. Nobody would ever accept taking responsibility for dozens, hundreds, or thousands of partners, and the expenses involved in validating every last one of them. Not to mention the lost business on either side. Even the IRS or banks can't keep up with long ownership chains or properly identifying customers and they have a more vested interest.

Laws and rules are far slower to adapt than the workarounds that bend them. And clear ownership says little. Everything can simply point to a more or less real identity that nobody will ever find.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against such rules. I'm just saying that the likelihood of them achieving the results we imagine are slim.
Deaths can lie too. What does it take for a death to be labelled as covid-19 death? That the person who died was merely tested positive, or do they do autopsies for all those who tested positive? How about covid-19 deaths that aren't counted as covid-19 deaths, for a reason or another? How about people dying less of regular influenza this year because of covid-19 and lockdowns?

Even looking back at monthly 2020 deaths in comparison to earlier years might not truly reveal the final impact of covid-19.

The good old days.. I remember using dip! I helped to build a few ISPs. We used Xylogic Annex terminal servers at one place. The second ISP used USR digital modems (I forget what they were called?) By the time I set up the third one, we'd outsourced all dialup to a third party network.
Mint has test bank accounts on the production site
I am surprised to see that a tool that claims bank level security has these test accounts enabled on the Canadian production website.

How can users trust that the bank login information they are filling in for a specific bank account is actually being redirected to a real bank or some test account under the hood? I know there is no way end users can ensure that but this is pure negligence on Mint's part in my opinion.

Cloud Foundry has had buildpacks for 6 years or so, initially soft forks of Heroku buildpacks (I worked on these for some time).

The standardisation came about because Heroku and Cloud Foundry folks teamed up.

In terms of your specific question: pack is a CLI tool for using buildpacks to generate images. Paketo is a supported collection of such buildpacks. An analogy might be that pack is a compiler, Paketo is a standard library.

Do you find debian testing to be stable enough compared to debian stable, for servers?

For similar reasons (stability), I always go for the current stable (although I've a couple machines on oldoldstable, because it takes a while to upgrade...).

To do f(10^8) the OP says his/her code would take the matrix and square it about 26 times (2^26 = 67 million and change), then do some more in other ways. That's where the speedup comes from. Are you also doing that?

(The mechanism for the speedup is described in passing, in a little note about the Haskell library function he's using to calculate a power of the matrix. For whatever it's worth this trick is excellent, but it dates from before computers were invented.)
If you regulate that Target can't compete, than that is one less competitor.
Maybe someone here can explain to me how this is supposed to work. Let's assume we have enough tests in the US to test every single person in the country every 3 days, and are contact tracing everyone with a smartphone, and providing smartphones to everyone without.

Now, with all this in place, isn't the best we can do to alert people after they have already been exposed to the virus?

It feels a bit like the safe sex crusaders switching to say everybody can have unprotected sex now, we'll let you know if you catch something, hopefully before you infect your next partner. Which I suppose is more reasonable for the group, but ... as the individual who is expected to actually go out in the world to consume or whatever, this doesn't feel like a viable solution.
What am I missing?
This is often discussed in business schools as a danger of doing market research. Pepsi was running ads about beating Coke in tastes tests (which Coke confirmed).

Pepsi is sweeter and people liked it better in a little sample sip, but to sit down and drink a whole glass was too much.

New Coke was made to taste more like Pepsi.

Currently, looks like the current version is limited few AWS regions. This may not be a good fit for those outside the AWS ecosystem. The main reason users use Cache Stores is to remove latencies of hitting a database or re-computations. This may not work out for those on DigitalOcean or Azure endpoints.

Also, within the AWS ecosystem, power users may not use it since it bypasses IAM and no insight in case of failures because of connection limits, as well as no SSL in the free version.

I'm not a fan of containerization of base OS apps at all (planning on using it for for Chrome, Skype, Slack, and other Electron-based cross-platform apps only) but I'm pretty sure Ubuntu is mainstream enough at this point that Canonical pretty much dictates the shape of the Linux desktop for third-party apps while "everyone else" includes "just" RH (who still do/finance a large part of kernel development, of course).

But maybe I'm overlooking something, so if somebody with a distro maintainance or third party appdev background could share why settling on snaps causes trouble or undue extra work or is less-than-optimal I'd appreciate it.

I don't plan to die on this hill, but I think this practice is somewhat forgivable when assuming good intent.

The author may have realized that "MVP" has lost its originally _good_ meaning and became something else. They wanted to publish a post bringing focus back to what MVP originally was supposed to be, but felt that it's meaning has become so tied to its new, less good one, that they needed a new acronym to wrap their message in.

It's all reactionary, and in your own words, you acknowledge nobody would care if they just presented it as "our MVPs are what they _should_ be".

I try to assume good intent; they want to use influence to reign back the practice of building MVPs in a poor UX sort-of-way, and felt a new acronym was the best way to get an audience and tell the story.
That's almost exactly the description of a scene from the 90s movie "Outbreak" where Dustin Hoffman follows a vent in a hospital to learn that the virus is airborne.
The fan on my 13" MBP (2017) rarely kicks on unless I have an external monitor plugged in. I've been told that it has to engage the discrete graphics card to power my external monitor (only 24" / 1080p), and that's what causes the extra heat. Unfortunately, with the external monitor the fan is on all the time. I almost wish my work environment weren't so quiet, because then I wouldn't hear the fan kick on.

Also fascinating is that it was a failure/misapplication of consumer research. When testing New Coke vs their existing product people preferred the New Coke but they didn't ask the pivotal question: Would you prefer this instead of coke.
It's all about putting people into risk categories. Then each group's members can act in the optimal way for their group. Then retest/rebalance periodically.
Also own a 16" MBP. I use a kernel extension called Turbo Boost Switcher to control heat. The battery lasts 25% longer with turbo boost disabled and the machine never feels warm. I enable turbo only when rendering audio from my DAW or for long compiles. The machine otherwise never feels slow. Big win.

I'm dreading the day MacOS formally blocks kernel extensions.

And manufacturing may be cheaper without worrying about polluting or waste dumping, but when those were no curtailed, manufacturing didn't stop, it just found better ways.
Well, I learned something today:) I'd always assumed that RISC meant a reduced number of instructions, but that's clearly not the case. Wikipedia phrases it as,

> The term "reduced" in that phrase was intended to describe the fact that the amount of work any single instruction accomplishes is reduced—at most a single data memory cycle—compared to the "complex instructions" of CISC CPUs that may require dozens of data memory cycles in order to execute a single instruction.[23] In particular, RISC processors typically have separate instructions for I/O and data processing.

So yeah, if SIMD instructions can execute in a single cycle (or maybe even a small number), then it still counts.

I've been wondering why there hasn't been more programs to test representative samples of individuals, just like a political poll.

If I was in a Governor's or Mayor's shoes right now and I know there aren't enough resources to test everyone, I'd want some data like that to work with to make policy decisions.

While you are in the process of opening things back up, you keep a close eye on your daily/weekly representative sample numbers to see if anything needs to be dialed back. It gives you much closer to immediate feedback.

I suppose the immediate problem is getting a hold of a representative sample of people willing to be tested, but that feels solvable. I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of it, just curious why it isn't being done, as it feels immensely useful (maybe this is just the 538 political nerd in me wanting virus polls?).
No, we need to test everybody, so we can't be testing the wrong people (the reason we need to test sick people is different than the reasons we need to test other people, but they all need tested.)

But we don't have nearly enough testing capacity (either tests or the organized infrastructure to administer them, though both problems are being worked on) to meaningfully test the general population, whether or not we focussed our entire effort on the most important subset for reopening, so it would be extraordinarily stupidly premature to shift our current testing priority in that direction. This also means that general reopening is, a fortiori, extraordinarily stupidly premature.

git enables that. git is a dvcs. centralized Github is your bottleneck.

DevOps/SysAdmins usually plan for SPOFs (single points of failures) when using a service, but having github as the central store defeats that purpose. This again comes back to tools and integrations offered.
Absolutely!

I found out I still had access to my account for a previous employer on some random industry website when my 1Password autofilled the login and it worked. I contacted my old boss and asked him to immediately remove my access, and confirmed that I couldn't get in anymore. The last thing I want is for something to change or break, and for them to say "hey, that's funny, our old employee is still logging in..."

I actively don't want to have access on things I don't need.
Amazon's £250k for bookshops fund stuns trade
Alright, so you actually can be a manufacturer and a retailer at the same time, just with your own products on a separate website.

Are manufacturers legally barred from linking to the marketplaces of its peers?

Could Amazon not just maintain two websites, and shut down the marketplace for certain goods when it feels it has enough information to sell its own versions on the other site?

If not, could Amazon not just sell the information it would have used to develop its own products to another company (which we'll assume is totally unrelated) to develop its own off-brand products, and then treat those products preferentially?

Traveling to those bunkers could spread the virus. Just stay home is a completely viable option.

Some basic risk analysis shows the trip increases risks and is therefore a dumb move even if the idea of a bunker could be useful in other situations.
There’s something incredibly disingenuous about creating companies around the idea of “making the world a better place” and beading oneself as a world visionary while simultaneously taking extreme measures assuming the worst is about to happen. If the collective sentiment around the ruling class was that the world is becoming a better, safer place, why build the shelter?

Just to be clear, you never HAVE to update your code. Rust 1.0 code still works just fine.

The consensus with error handling is that the limitations of std error trait have now been sufficiently fixed so as to be usable without anything more. But you can use a crate (like `thiserror`) to reduce boilerplate if you really want to.
At that point it would be an actual monopoly, and we can break that company up.
