No, because the mortality rate is very, very low outside nursing homes. And cause of death in the early days won't be listed as corona, since it was an unknown disease.

The Wuhan "first patient" was admitted Dec. 6, but nobody believes he was "patient zero". Since he likely contracted it Dec. 1, that means there were others with corona in Nov. or before. (Chinese people I've talked to invariably mention Oct. as when they started to hear chatter about corona.)

Not in aerospace or anywhere else where life & safety are at stake. I'm quite familiar with those worlds, and Linux doesn't exist there.

Android is not 100% Linux. It's a phone OS that runs a Linux kernel and essentially nothing else that even looks like a desktop Linux (remember, that's the discussion).

Yes, 1% is near zero. For desktop use, the only people who use Linux are devs who are completely buried in the Linux world, and OS zealots. The market outside of that vanishingly small sector of desktop users is zero -- not close to zero, not 1%, zero. No one runs Linux on the desktop because they want to run Linux on the desktop -- you don't even do it. They run it because they have no other alternative, or because their religion demands it.

Nothing has changed in the Mac "ecosystem" to make their machines worse for devs in the last ten years. I'm really at a loss to even begin to understand what you are talking about here. It simply isn't so.

Again, your opinion is that you don't like Xcode. Nothing else you've posted suggests a real fact.

I've written plenty of code in vi -- even in ed, in Netbeans, whatever. I like Xcode because it works really well, and if you're in the Mac ecosystem it's designed to work well there. I don't care if an IDE is open source, I don't care if it's "free" (Xcode is), and I don't care if it's cross platform. Those items mean nothing to me, they do nothing for me. If I need to write on a linux system I'll pull up netbeans or eclipse. Or I'll write it in an ssh session using vi. So what?

You're continuing to state your opinions as though they are some objective fact. You don't like Macs for some reason since Jobs died. That's your opinion. It doesn't match that of many others.
If anything OP was worse off before they started treatment. Changing or getting off meds could be a valid choice but all the changes seem to have lead OP to a generally better life
On the one hand, I think quite a lot of people will have stories about Corona-like symptoms in late 2019, early 2020 before the real 'outbreak'. I wouldn't be surprised if a mild version of the virus had spread throught he world earlier than the current pandemic, but at the same time I think we should wait for more evidence. One case in France is just that - one case.

>The fact that his content is on YouTube does not imply that it will proliferate.

That's not what I meant. In a world run under free speech maximalist principles, one in which society is only allowed to debate and criticize ideas like David Icke's, but no platform is allowed to choose not to host them (because that choice amounts to censorship,) those ideas would proliferate because mere criticism and debate are not sufficient to prevent their spread.

If it were, there would be no anti-vaxxers or flat earthers, or people who buy into most conspiracy theories, because those people are aware of the arguments to the contrary of their point of view, and they choose to dismiss those arguments. They don't respond to criticism with sober introspection and logic, they respond with ridicule and sometimes violence.

>Even if not, the situation in which a small part of the population believes in David's ideas seems preferable to me than one in which a small group of (non democratically chosen) people decide what is acceptable content and what is not.

Except Youtube isn't deciding what is acceptable for society, they are deciding what is acceptable for themselves. David Icke's delusional followers are free to continue to be deluded, but he is no longer allowed to host content on their platform.

>I agree, but censoring someone goes much farther than to disabuse. Too far, in my opinion.

I disagree that David Icke's been censored. He doesn't have a right to a Youtube account, any more than he has the right to break into my house and start ranting about lizard men. Youtube isn't public property just because it's on the internet.

The problem is that it's impossible for the marketplace of ideas to reject anything without it being interpreted as censorship. That's a slippery slope no one wants to recognize.
No, but if multiple workers at multiple locations said the same thing, then it is more believable:

>"I was really upset and I said, 'All you people care about is the rates, not the well-being of the people,' " she said. "I've never worked for an employer that had paramedics waiting outside for people to drop because of the extreme heat."

There were so many reports of workers overheating that OSHA had to get involved: https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-allentown-amazon-comp...

That, along with other conditions reported, make it a literal sweatshop.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply I work there, I don't; my employer uses Timescale and I designed our schema.

Timescale has been quite performant for us fetching arbitrary past time windows, but I'll stop the cheerleading there as I think mfreed covered the details far better.

I'd certainly still like to see AS OF support!
That's a little disingenuous. h2o isn't really a framework as much as it is a server that can be extended as an application (Similar to CherryPy vs Flask/Django). There aren't really any good C web frameworks, and any web applications built in C are very likely to be bespoke code utilizing some HTTP library (libhttp, h2o, kore, etc).

Actix is a framework, built in Rust and non-GC'd, that performs significantly better than any of the Go frameworks. So GC does seem to have some effect.

That being said, I agree the GC is unlikely to be the problem for D's performance (in this case).

Sometimes I feel this way when I have unaddressed issues in my life. And I don't necessarily mean emotional/psych things; Sometimes it is as simple as having a messy room/harddrive, or some things that have sat on the backburner for far too long. Take a step back and see if you have any of those things, then address them deliberately, and see if you feel better.
This is a technical legal point. You can be forced to produce information you have, but generally not to create new information.
It's not an ideology that I'm expressing, it's the opposite. We shouldn't be bound by ideology in trying to find solutions to social problems, but be willing propose major changes to fix badly broken systems. A big part of the problem the US has is that it's become a norm to view any proposal through the lens of ones own ideologies or the assumed ideologies of ones interlocutor and dismissing it on the basis of improper ideology rather than proposing an alternate solution.
Pi-Hole is a great project, and it's not limited to running on a Raspberry Pi either. I've got it running as a (x86-64 Ubuntu) VM in the same hypervisor that hosts my firewall. It's lightweight, super responsive, and provides great statistics on what it is doing.

Because those are not youtube comments. Whenever FCC makes a policy change there is a period when citizens can comment on it and express their opinions and concern. To faithfully execute FCC supposed to include these comments in decision, they still could go against it, but they need to address the concerns raised there.

The false comments, basically gave them opportunity to claim that citizens were equally divided and they could just ignore them, when in reality people were overwhelmingly against the changes.

The whole FCC change reminds me of ICANN and .org TLD. Overwhelmingly unpopular to the public but driven by special interests.

> What does transporting a cardboard box have anything to do with flooding in Mozambique?

25% of the US's carbon emissions are from transportation.

> Amazon is just 1% of whatever that is.

Everybody works somewhere. Workers have more power over their own companies than they do over others. It's great that Amazon workers are trying to use that power for good.

> If you want to shape ecology, you do it through regulations (statutes).

That's one place to push. And you know who'd be good at pushing for regulatory change? Organized workers. Large companies that have decided to minimize ecological impact. Industry organizations made up of those companies.

But that's not the only way change happens. It's a big problem with many fronts. If you think you can best use your time and money by calling up your reps, go to it. However, these people have decided differently. I'm willing to trust that they know best how to achieve their goals.
> If Amazon condone and even enable employee activism

Is this (what the whistleblowers did, and Mr. Bray is implicitly supporting by quitting) even activism? They were afraid of the well-being of the Amazon employees.

Is it comparable to complaining that the wooden stairs to go into the office is rotten and may fall at any moment? That's not activism, it's just basic workspace safety.
To clarify, the key line is "a disproportionate amount of non-HTML content". Serving videos isn't prohibited but CF still has to prevent free plan websites from becoming huge loss-leaders.

Another big asterisk is that this applies to all proxied (DDOS-protected) content, not just the ones that use the CF cache. CF pays for all of their uplink bandwidth out-of-pocket regardless of if it's cached. You can see what happens when you proxy multiple terabytes of content on the free plan in this thread[0] (again all proxied bandwidth costs CF, which is why this user had their zone unproxied).

What a fantastic piece of software.

OP does not have this issue. He is a highly visible/highly respected for his technical skills. I’m willing to bet you money that he is being flooded as we type with offers.

Hacking imho implies a workaround or circumvention that has a certain degree of cost-effectiveness and an indirect angle of attack (e.g. many types of remote exploits). For example, I don't know if I'd consider a brute force calculation of a password to be "hacking", if the cost and time of computing resources outweighed the potential gain. And while hacking a user's arm off might be more "cost-effective" (to put it coldly) than brute forcing their password, it essentially requires the resources and opportunity to have very direct physical access – in the same way that blowing off a bank vault door with explosives doesn't feel like "hacking".

But in any case, I don't think bribery as an effective attack vector for a service as big as Roblox is so self-evident that it lacks cleverness or insight. It's not just the work of finding someone with access privileges (could be as "easy" as searching LinkedIn for people listing Roblox as an employer), but also knowing what to bargain for (e.g. account credentials versus "give me the password of the richest Roblox player"), and having the confidence that the system would allow me essentially unfettered access (i.e. weak access-control policies and threat detection).

Logically, if bribery is such a straightforward and cost-effective attack, then people would be going hard all the time bribing insider employees at a bank. Yet if I had the money and time and willingness for illegal behavior, I'm not at all certain what unauthorized access I could get from any bank employee, nevermind how far I'd get undetected.

To put it another way, "legitimate" hacks usually reveal major substantive ways that a system can/should be hardened. I think it's pretty obvious how Roblox's access-control and auditing should be hardened after this kind of intrusion. How would a company realistically improve its security after learning a user's own account was compromised after the user was tortured into giving away their credentials?
> [...] excuses to avoid evaluating the argument on merits, maybe you should rethink what you're doing.

I think his argument still holds: experts having made mistakes doesn't change the fact that you are unlikely to be able to evaluate based on merits in the first place. Unless you are an expert in the field, you're highly unlikely to know enough about the other research out there which is valid, applicable and could contradict the findings; you're not capable of proper evaluation.

How many homeowners also rent? I have a mortgage on a cabin in Idaho, but rent in California. I would vote to support the renters, because although I'm practically neutral, homeowners have at least 1 asset and are generally better off in wealth and savings.

Also, majority rule is probably not the relevant metric here (even if renters + owners were mutually exclusive sets). We have a long history of not going strictly with the majority.

I think the fundamental flaw is trying to be 'successful'. Playing that game invariably requires you to pretend to be what you think the market wants.

I would suggest you think about building something you want that you find fun. If you're a scuba diver, build a dive computer. If you're a woodworker make a tool for making the best use of a board. The most important thing is you absolutely don't plan on making it a world-changing multi-billion dollar anything. Make it, even sell it if you want, and enjoy the ride.

I had such stories. I got the sickest I've been in years back in the first week of Feb. Fever, chills, dry cough...I was in bed for a week.

Then again had some light respiratory stuff in early March. I live alone, isolation was already starting in some places, and I'm fortunate enough to work somewhere that WFH is easy.

I had plenty of "I might have already had it!" type conversations.

So I got my antibody test last week at my primary care physician. Negative. Was just a bad flu, I guess.
There were large numbers of comments on both sides made by people who denied writing them when asked. WSJ found thousands of people who denied writing a particular pro-NN message with their names attached.

Don't underestimate the absolutely jaw-dropping incompetence from even senior "tech" folks employed by governments.

Within the last couple years, I've overheard senior, so-called technical government employees 1) complain about Git and wonder aloud why we weren't using Visual Source Safe; 2) insist that rotating through a list of 12 hard-coded passwords, in code, checked into Git, was totally fine; 3) refuse to believe that automated deployments were possible (not hard, or against norms, but physically impossible); 4) try to explain to another so-called technical gov't employee the difference between CSS and JavaScript, and get it wrong; 5) stand up in the middle of a conversation and walk out the door because it's 2:30 PM and their day is over; 6) even more nonsense you wouldn't believe if I showed you a video of it.

> The wages aren’t low because of an ideology, the wages are low because if person A doesn’t agree to the low wages then the employer can hire person B.

This would be true iff the labor supply was perfectly elastic wrt to wages but we have repeatedly seen that this is not the case.

Paying your employees higher isn’t altruism as much as an investment in the health of your business. It’s either that or you deal with higher turnover, insurance security etc.

Wall Street has consistently pressured the larger employers to cut labor costs as much as they can; there is a lot more variation in wages offered by smaller businesses. Wall Street is always focused on quarterly growth and that is the “ideology” that’s ripping apart the middle class across the US as employers fail to invest in the long term viability of the communities they operate in.
Technology itself is what breeds these environments though. Humans haven't changed much, what has changed is our environment.

You actually kind of hint at it in your own writing. The behavior is everywhere.
I've watched you comment similarly around here - what if salaries in the US matched the EU? What if quality of life equalized across the globe?

Well, so what? Would we outsource jobs if the entire world was unionized? Doesn't it make sense to promote worker's rights for everyone? If I was a blue collar American worker adopting your position, here is the most rational actions I should take to support it:

> As a blue collar American worker, my not unionizing ensures my company doesn't have to worry about diminishing their massively outsized bargaining position in my labor conditions. The better the labor conditions of my competition, that being laborers in China and India, the less likely my job will be outsourced to those countries. I should either take actions that increase the labor conditions of laborers in other countries, or, take actions to decrease my labor conditions so they stay below those of laborers in other countries.

Do you see how nonsensical, illogical, and perhaps insane that position is?

I've run into a number of southern KC suburbanites who are all convinced they had it. One had attended a thing in Vegas in Jan and came back with bad con-crud. Two houses down the whole family is certain they all had it. I'm super skeptical, because the pattern we've seen in "real" hotspots like NY just don't play out the same. It is feasible that it's really only truly devastating to dense populations, but until we have any kind of reliable testing on the infection and recovered side, the only # we can use is the death rate over normal. And that view seems to point in the direction of people not actually having it until after Feb. But here we are, having exhausted 2 months of our collective patience and not demonstrably further along in our ability to measure this thing.
