I resurrected my old Macbook Air 2013 last weekend with a replacement SSD (the last one failed totally with nearly no warning). In the meantime I had some longer Ubuntu laptop time as a short term replacement.

Kudos to the software Carbon Copy Cloner. Everything is as before and lost only 4 weeks of data because of an old image (but that's okay, not super important).

Lessons learned:

- Test your backup strategy and your backups !!

- External APFS or HFS drives cannot be read by Linux (especially if encrypted with FileVault). Maybe I will switch to Veracrypt + NTFS (or FAT32) for external drives in the long-run.

- Restoring in recovery mode from a sparseimage did not worked out. A real 1:1 copy on an external drive is better and immediately bootable.

- Installing macOS Mojave on a bigger USB stick is slooow (3 hours?), the same goes for booting, but it seemed the only option for me to use Carbon Copy Cloner to restore to the internal ssd.

- Do more regular backups

- Maybe monitoring the internal SSDs health in future? The software drivedx looks interesting.

- side note on Linux: pinch and zoom gesture on trackpads is totally non existent on Linux desktop (even Windows is better with this). There are not even interfaces for it as far as I've seen.

> One of those weird copyright decisions, like the one where Owens-Corning trademarked PINK

Trademarks and copyright are NOT the same thing. That trademark would only give them rights to the branding PINK in the context of insulation. Copyright is more expansive - and I think you should be more worried about copyright than trademark.
yes, there is a long history of trying to automate education (largely unsuccessfully). see Larry Cuban's "Teaching and Machines"
You did pick a particularly nasty example for that one. I do agree that it is not so easy to read these constraints. It can also be a bit frustrating when you need to chase down why exactly a particular line of code doesn't meet such a constraint. Tests like isInputRange are themselves fairly involved expressions and in the worst case, you end up staring at those after a template instantiation failed.

Decrying the advent of child labor protection laws is an certainly a less common version of “kids these days!”, I’ll grant you that.
This jumped out at me as well. When I was that age I spent my summers riding my bike and roaming the city with my friends. The thought that kids today are entirely dependent on the structure of school for socialization is incredibly depressing. What have we done to society?
This kind of work is so interesting, I believe U Pitt does a lot of leading research here.
In my personal experience there's a huge problem with counterfeit beauty products on Amazon.

Even when it's not counterfeit a lot of brands sell a cheaper version on Amazon than they do through other retailers.
Go can handle 100k goroutines (green threads) without a sweat.

This is useful for p2p systems in which you are connected to thousands of peers multiplexing several p2p protocols with each concurrently. You want to be able to switch threads as fast as possible.

The concurrency model is a bit easier to reason about too.

It would be good to see how Rust and others do. Other languages excel at other things (i.e. embedded devices ).
What's weird about this round is that they gave away a board seat to a new outside investor, who has ownership of under < 1% of the company.

Is this common? I thought board seats were prized, and only given in deals where the investor is capitalizing the company and owning something like 20% post-money.
What did you change or do differently between applications?
Yes, the type is very interesting to know. That's why other languages make it known. Ignoring the entire discussion to reply twice with "nu uh!" is not very productive.
Fantastic article. Explains in such great detail about what goes into making a good chart from data (and what mistakes even experienced people can make!)

Questions Great Executives Ask Themselves
To argue Amazon's side here, they most likely don't view this as unfair withholding. From Amazon's point of view, this seller moved from FBA to self fulfillment and had a massive increase is sales. The OP said they were averaging $1M per month, and that Amazon had held $4.2M for 15 days, so it looks like they'd had an up to 8x increase in sales while simultaneously moving to a system where Amazon had no oversight.

As I said, while I can feel the pain of getting automated replies from a company that owes you a lot of money, I don't think this situation lends itself to easy solutions without a waiting period, even if you involve lawyers. There are circumstances where payment processors will hang on to the cash for much longer than this. Concert tickets come to mind.
More importantly she is doing real work. She isn't promoting a brand or developing a line of clothes. If COVID has done anything good it has reminded us what matters. Who cares if you have 10 million followers, if all you "do" is promote brands. At least this lady is making food while getting followers because of her looks.
This uses DHTs. How resilient is it against Sybil attacks? Also how does it work under global netsplit conditions, like if someone borks or attacks BGP in such a way that 1/3 of the world is not reachable?

My impression is that DHTs fall down pretty hard under the latter scenario and are also pretty vulnerable to the Sybil scenario if the attacker has enough resources to mount a really serious attack. They're okay for low-value simple stuff that doesn't have much of an intrinsic bounty attached to it (like BitTorrent magnets), but trying to put a "decentralized web" on top of a DHT seems like a scenario where the instant it becomes popular it will get completely shredded for profit (spam, stealing Bitcoin, etc.).

My rule of thumb is that anything designed for serious or large scale use (in other words that might get popular) needs to be built to withstand either a "nation state level attacker" threat model or a "Zerg rush of hundreds of thousands of profit motivated black hats" threat model. The Internet today is a war zone because today you can make money and gain power (e.g. by influencing elections) by messing with it.
"immunity" is a bit of an imprecise term. There's two major components:

(1) The presence of active circulating antibodies, which in sufficient concentrations should result in literal immunity in the sense of inability to catch the virus

Eventually those circulating antibodies will no longer be actively present, but you'll still have

(2) Memory B Cells which lie dormant, waiting for exposure to viral antigens at which point they ramp up antibody production like crazy.

So in the worst case scenario, immunity in the sense of inability to be infected disappears after X months, but any infection would be much milder and would clear much more quickly than normal with lower peak viral load.

Let's talk about "herd immunity" while we're at it since that's been branded as a "dirty word (phrase)". Herd immunity is just the logical consequence of individual immunity as applied to population-level dynamics. So people that don't "believe" in herd immunity are like people that don't believe in evolution, in that both logically follow from the ground truths.

--

Nothing I've said there contradicts the WHO, but it's worth mentioning that at this point it seems inaccurate to say "there is no evidence" rather than to say "there is not overwhelming evidence", and they've sort of given themselves away with this line:

> People who assume that they are immune to a second infection because they have received a positive test result may ignore public health advice

So, as always, they carefully shape statements to try to control behavior.

--

Anyway, I'm actually not trying to argue against the WHO here, but rather the hordes of people who trot out the "we don't know if there even is immunity" to try to argue that "herd immunity" is a foolish/dangerous proposition when the truth is that it's how we deal with every non-containable pandemic. That is what I was getting at with my needlessly snarky and coy comment.

BTW, just to be clear, vaccines rely on the same principle. So those who point to the uncertainty as an argument "against" herd immunity (which again to me is like arguing "against evolution" since both herd immunity and evolution are logical consequences of some simple ground truths taken to their logical conclusions), are also arguing against hunkering down for 2.5 years while we develop a vaccine.

Reminds me of the Corrupted Blood incident.[0]

"The Corrupted Blood incident was a virtual pandemic in the MMORPG World of Warcraft, which began on September 13, 2005, and lasted for one week. The epidemic began with the introduction of the new raid Zul'Gurub and its end boss Hakkar the Soulflayer. When confronted and attacked, Hakkar would cast a hit point-draining and highly contagious debuff spell called "Corrupted Blood" on players."

Lesson #7: Don't buy an iMac

Seriously. Why would you ever buy a computer that you need to remove the screen from to replace a part like an HDD with a high failure rate?

I have a friend with a 2011 27" iMac that uses thunderbolt 1. It has an absurdly slow HDD. I was going to try to help her upgrade it, but I can't find a TB1 enclosure to put an SSD into. The other choice is FW800, and those are incredibly rare too.

I'm actually shopping for these as we speak, so reading this article was very timely..

EDIT: Finally found a FW800 SATA 2.5" enclosure on Amazon that I can pop an SSD into. Sadly it was more expensive than a cheap SSD.
> "If you study the numbers in 2017 and 2018, we had 50 to 60 million with the flu," Erickson said. "And we had a similar death rate in the deaths the United States were 43,545"

For comparison, 1 million Americans (50x less) have had covid, and so far 59,225 have died (1.4x more) [0]. Their conclusion is that this is no worse than the flu, even though those numbers show it being more than 60x more deadly.

edit: Bringing this up from lower discussion: Even if you assume 10x more cases than reported, with 2x observed excess deaths [1], that's 10 million people sick and 100,000 dead; 5x less people sick and 2.5x more people dead than the flu.

Another aspect of this I've observed -- Personal sense of value (and industry pay goes into this) contributes to partitioning of work. If we're charitable, it's from a belief of comparative advantage, and if we are brutally honest about some people, it's because people often feel that "_____ isn't a good use of their time." This is also fed by the "sexiest job of the 21-st century" saying that's been created.

We see this in data science and machine learning where people complain about spending their time cleaning data, etc... when their time should be spent "generating insights/etc." We also see that those insights are interesting but not very useful if they aren't actionable, too costly or too impractical to implement.

Ultimate value is related to being able to contribute to and achieve the holistic outcome, but the lens of success is often focused on models or insights instead. This is a cultural and organizational problem, rather than a technological one. It also takes a dose of humility to appreciate the true value of the so-called dirty work.

Because it is stating a highly-debatable position as a pithy slogan, with no justification, basis, or rationale given. It's trying to make progress in the debate, not by force of superior ideas, but by stating the slogan often enough that it sticks in at least some peoples' minds.

It took me a long time to see the value of school. All through elementary school and high school I didn't give a shit, did what I needed to do to do well, never really cared about things going on at school and didnt really have many friends or anything.

When I got to university it was different, I cared and tried and got involved with everything. It was a totally different experience. It made me regret the way i was in high school a bit and kinda made me wish I'd been more involved. It wasn't as pointless and ridiculous as I thought and there was no reason for me not to other than my unwillingness to.

If I'd actually experienced these things, I might have gotten more out of high school and not been so hostile towards it all for so long, when in the end education only benefitted me and there's a kind of education you can only get by taking part in things with people around you.

I know it's not the same, but I know there's lots of kids out there who didn't wait as long as me and know now, well before I did, what they get out of having other people around. As great as distance education can be, even if you've got your classmates there on video or something, it's still not the same as a group of students getting together and working on homework or studying, the ones that do I mean, and even for the ones that just get together, there's a lot of bonding and forming as people that happens that just can't really be replicated outside truly free interaction with other people. Even if you're all working on school work. It needs to be some kind of natural free setting. Something's missing otherwise. Again, it took me a long time to really get this.

Yeah, I think that's what many people mean. Although I have actually talked to a terrifyingly high number of people in real life who really do think that the goal of the lockdowns is to eradicate the disease. And it's not surprising given the absolutely unclear and misleading messaging from our public health officials who appear to be more concerned with mass social control than with actual evidence-based public health policy. But now I'm ranting again...

Yes but there aren't enough people that can contribute to make it cause much sense to implement. The following is a graph distributed by Andrew Yang's campaign. (The most popular proponent of UBI)

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQi8jWpWkAMQ_5d?format=jpg&name=...

Examine that graph and you'll clearly see you're taking $500 billion from net contributers and paying out $1.55 trillion to net beneficiaries. AND THIS IS ACCORDING TO HIS OWN CAMPAIGN. He's literally planning to pay out 3x what he's taking in.

In the fine print he admits that he has to pay for it with "future economic growth", i.e. debt. (you cant pay out cash for something now by hoping the economy grows in the future, it's physically impossible... you need debt to bridge the gap)

But explain to me how taking $1050 from the average person in order to pay $1000 to the average person grows GDP?

The simple fact of the matter is that this cannot be achieved without perhaps scrapping every other social program (Medicare, medicaid, social security) AND raising taxes in addition.
Cura te ipsum, but if that's your remaining issue I won't distract further.
I'm still not quite there.

>real-time requests

What's this mean? If you're describing the ability to transfer the web site's data whenever a request comes in for that data, that's been the case since day 1. Alternatively, if you're describing the ability to make changes on the fly and re-draw the web site without a full request/response cycle, is it still a static web site?

>process payments

This really doesn't count though, does it? After all, the processing is occurring elsewhere: a third-party payment service or somewhere within the infrastructure behind the web site. It's more-or-less sending a request to some place else to process a transaction.

>manage customer accounts

This is similar to the previous. There's not a whole lot new going on here; you'll have to expand.

>Cheaper – Not making requests to the server on-demand

I don't understand how not making a request is intrinsic to any type of web site.

>Faster – Served from a global CDN close to your users

This just describes the location of the data; nothing to do with the web site.

>Easier – No complicated deployments, better DX

Now this might have some merit to it. Over the course of time, technology evolves and tasks which were more complex 10 years ago may seem trivial today; the technology you're describing could indeed be one of the choices available today.

>How is this reshaping the web? In a way, we've come full circle. What's changing is how we get to a static site. JAMstack unlocks all the benefits of static sites with today's complex data requirements.

Come full circle to what?

We also haven't changed how we get to a static web site; a client calls a server and the server might respond with some data. I would navigate to your website the same exact way I would have 10, 15, ... years ago.

The cat is out the bag, AMC is fighting for relevance in a post covid world. Even prior Theaters were facing economic downturn. If AMC was a bit more alamo draft house, they might find more profit in the movie going experience.

Yeah, I grew up not far from St. Brieux and the Bourgault plant. My father was one of the first farmers in the area to start using a "new fangled" air seeder system. That was back in the early 1980s. The machines have gotten a lot larger, more complicated and way more expensive since then.

6.6% infected has to be wrong. That just shows we're not testing enough to see the true, much lower, number. It's also biased because we're not randomly sampling--instead we're testing people that are already showing symptoms.

Then when that inflated number goes in the denominator, it makes it look like the fatality rate is much lower.
