I like to semi-joke that WWII was taught by nicotine addicts who drank absurd amounts of coffee, suggesting that those stimulants enabled prodigious feats.

Realistically though nicotine is pretty bad for your vasculature and the carbon monoxide is pretty bad too. Smokers get strokes due to stiffening of the small vessels. Yuck.
UCSF has preliminary results from it's mass testing effort in the mission. They used both RNA and Serological tests to test about ~4200 people. This is a dense neighborhood that's over represented in detected cases.

Bad news for team nutter.
Same for me back in early February. When you think about it, how many people just ride out flu-like symptoms, and how many doctors order official test to confirm influenza? It’s possible this virus was in stealth mode all over the place for awhile last year.
I've been working as an engineer in high paced roles at one of the FANGs for about 15 years now. I've gone through ups-and-downs in terms of what I call "creative energy", which I will refer to as coding "mojo".

1. You have a limited amount of mojo that you can throw at a problem. When you're young, this focus and energy is easy. You can throw it at problems that you may not be that vested in for a reward like money. It's also easy to recover. These times are great.

2. As you get older, mojo will become more cyclical. When you're in the troughs it will be difficult to focus your energy on a problem if you're not that vested with it. When you work on projects that fail, this will be extremely draining. At this stage, you will need to build "refresh" mechanisms into your schedule. It will help to work on non-tech yet creative passions on the side that have easy to reach end-states. I personally had this successfully going for over a decade.

3. Sometimes instead of being cyclical, your mojo will just totally flat-line. Sometimes it was too many death-march projects, sometimes it's personal health related, dealing with aging family members, or the stress of being a parent. If you haven't built in a refresh cycle that works for you yet, it's going to be very difficult to get your mojo flowing again. At this point more drastic measures are necessary. One piece of advice I heard was "take a break until you get really bored again."

After joining a project a few years ago that caused me to sacrifice my "refresh cycle", I found myself quickly in #3 as well. I wish I had better advice, but I'm planning to take some extended time off from the grind. [Advice to younger devs: this lifestyle requires active maintenance on your part to sustain and you won't know about this until it's too late. Save up and plan for a mid-career break.] I'm planning on working on some fun projects to expose me to new technology stacks and try to see what problems I can get excited about again and do some self-investments to open up alternative career paths. [I've always considered "retiring" into education at some point but maybe I'll play with a few different self-employment ideas first.]

I recall watching a documentary in the 00s where someone claimed to be buying land in Russia specifically because of this.
Do you want to go back to the days of snake oil salesmen or what alternative do you propose to a regulating body for medicine?
This is one of the most up-voted posts on this site, and the post itself is a mere 20hrs old. Yet it's been bounced from the front page. The bias of the HN mods really showing itself today.
You're confusing the broader DMCA law and DMCA copyright violation takedown notices specifically. The DMCA copyright takedown notice is to assert to a common provider (Github) that your copyrighted work is currently copied on their platform (Github). As a result, the platform is obliged to immediately assume guilt on the part of their user and take down the content, regardless of evidence.

There was no MPA-owned copyrighted material in the repository the DMCA takedown notice was invoked on. The popcorn developers own the copyright to their code, and no MPA media assets are in the Github repository. The MPA has no copyright claim against the source code on Github.

The MPA could sue the developers for any reason they like, but that is a very different process from DMCA takedown notices. This was an abuse of the DMCA takedown process and the counternotice is wholly correct.
Not a contradiction as it is not a direct comparison. Planes have substantially greater ventilation then trains on average.
This reminds me of the "Glaciers will melt within X years" studies, which ended up being wrong[1].

This seems irrelevant as the person you are replying to is claiming that the notice is by its nature invalid. Quoting the notice they claim is invalid does nothing to prove them wrong.

Addressing the content of the quote more directly, Grokster established that companies marketing file sharing applications have liability for infringement conducted by users. It did not establish that the companies' service providers can be sent DMCA notices, as that wasn't at issue. So that particular case doesn't help your point.
The Elements of Statistical Learning and Introduction to Statistical Learning are THE textbooks for an introduction to statistical methods of data science. They are free and very high quality. Most of my class didn't buy it, but many including myself did.
I've seen it plausibly argued that in e.g. Japan, they have a culture of not talking on your phone on the subway, and this substantially reduces transmission.
Sho HN: Building a chess program using the Beads layout system
> apple hardware has bad support under anything but macOS and I can't think of any hardware which is supported under mac but not on windows

I had to read this a few times. You mean third-party hardware and peripherals, right? I first read it as running Windows on Mac hardware, which Bootcamp supports. Linux usually lags a few years and often isn't solid. Battery life usually isn't as good.

Paradoxical to your peripheral experience, I often much prefer macOS' experience to Windows with things like mice and printers since they often use standard, builtin tools instead of requiring third-party drivers with terrible UIs. For most things in the past 10-15+ years they support both Mac/Windows.

One pro Windows laptops usually have over Mac is the Mac webcams have the same quality from their laptops over a decade ago. Cameras are something Apple used to brag about (both including them standard and the quality of them).
Measuring the Cost of Regression Testing in Practice
You're still being too hard on it. There's a clear recognition that combustion isn't sufficient. And the only other option seemed to be gravitational accretion.

And it remained an open question until at least 1920:[0]

> Around 1920, [Arthur Eddington] anticipated the discovery and mechanism of nuclear fusion processes in stars, in his paper The Internal Constitution of the Stars. At that time, the source of stellar energy was a complete mystery; Eddington correctly speculated that the source was fusion of hydrogen into helium, liberating enormous energy according to Einstein's equation E = mc2. This was a particularly remarkable development since at that time fusion and thermonuclear energy, and even the fact that stars are largely composed of hydrogen (see metallicity), had not yet been discovered.

As a former Apple employee, it's gutsy for you to post this, or anything, certainly on a controversial topic.

You don't work for the kind of employer that values someone sticking their head out and saying ... anything. They want to control the message, and saying anything may be worse for both you, and for Apple, than saying nothing.

Just be careful. Apple's got the people to manage this PR situation.
ish requires bypassing the App Store and is one of the only ways to run quite a lot of pretty basic everyday software on iOS.
Just a quick YouTube search. I’m a life long long New Yorker, I can promise you that’s not the busiest. I can try to find you some video of the 7 line, it’s like that all the way from Grand Central to Main Street Flushing during rush hour.

The thing about the subway is that we all try to hold onto a pole or bar, total vectors for the spread. It’s not just an obvious case of being near each other, we’re forced to touch the same surfaces so we don’t collide every 30 seconds.
Napster and Limewire were operating commercial entities. Popcorn is just a bunch of random developers making an open source project. How do you take down something which can trivially be replicated (Git is theoretically a distributed VCS)?
Faster cooling, but smoother gradients. It means that if you go down a hundred miles, it will be warmer, but the entire center of the earth will be closer to the same temperature. If you assume a solid, you assume a certain constant thermal conductivity, as Kelvin did, even though with a liquid, that's not true. Basically, he assumed that the heat was diffusing slowly, and that it couldn't go above a certain temperature at the core (i.e. not a gas or liquid), and so you had hard limits on the total reservoir of heat in the planet and could calculate a linear fit on it. It turns out the effective thermal conductivity of the center of the earth is much higher than the thermal conductivity of e.g. continental crust.
Tips for Adding Security to CI/CD Pipelines

All of your uses of "he" were referring to Bray himself. That's how pronouns work.

And you can say "guess" all you want. There was nothing in his post, or any other article I know of, that indicates Bray's motives were anything other than what he said (and backed up with extensive supporting evidence). So your motivation to "guess" doesn't come from the article itself, nor from any competing evidence (which I doubt exists since you would've already posted it).

"I don't mean to specifically call out kjgkjhfkjf, but my guess is that he feels compelled to downplay legitimate criticisms of Amazon, and he used the well-known techniques of ad-hominem and FUD as a means to defend Amazon without actual compelling counterarguments." <- I assume you agree with that sentence, since it uses all of your same rhetorical techniques.

Kubernetes is a software varnish how a puppet master thinks how puppets should behave. Thing is, the puppets turn out to be almost humans and are a big heap of undeterministic behavior.

OPNSense with Suricata IDS and IPS
If someone is determined as a close contact they have to legally self-isolate for 14 days regardless of symptoms or test results.

The policy there probably reflects the understanding that people in the early stages of infection won't test positive or exhibit symptoms.
Underlying the process of thinking is a flow of sensory data that comes into contact with memory. There is a matching process taking place. Laughter is an example of a mismatch between sensory input and memory. The mismatch triggers jerks in the motor control system. The matching process goes on for a while, giving rise to what has been described by Kahneman as fast thinking and slow thinking. A lot of the brain is incoming somatic sensory signals and outgoing motor control signals. Thinking with words and symbols is a tiny part of the brain's receptive and expressive ability. A baby pulls itself to stand and experiences an exhilarating thrill as the balance organs and muscle circuits fire away to hold her body upright. That is why opera singers stand up to sing, that is why the bailiff in a court says "All Rise". And we haven't even begun to do thinking in the academic sense.

Few high-level advices, in arbitrary order.

1. Don't panic. If you don't understand everything immediately, that's normal. Try second or third time - and even fourth and fifth. Not necessarily immediately - take some time.

2. Try different books - for different people different explanations "click" differently.

3. Math is often understood better a few months after you studied the material. In many courses you don't have time to internalize new concepts in real time - but after some pause you feel better adjusted to them.

4. When you see a math expression, read it aloud, for better understanding. The goal is to force you to actually pay attention to every feature of the math notation used. Even reading this once helps. After reading a few times, you may start to see patterns and understandable pieces of the expression.

5. Scientists sometimes need quite a bit of time to understand what their peers - even in close areas - write in their papers. Reading one paper, even not too long, for the whole week to get a good understanding could be normal.
I pulled that from the take down notice that was posted publicly on Github.

https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/05/2020-05-0...

My interpretation was whomever filed the takedown notice contemplated your argument and proactively stated (paraphrased) "Based on case law, you can be held liable simply by distributing a product, if that product is clearly used to violate copyright law".

The notice also referenced Githubs terms of service which prohibit using a github repos for copyright infringement.

Is hosting a source code repo "distribution" of a product?

Did whomever filed the DMCA, not have a valid basis for doing so (the argument in this thread)?

By showing thumbnails of pirated movies a copyright violation?

By loading content from "pirated sites" facilitate copyright violations?

My pov is the answers to those questions are not simple, and thus would need legal clarification.

In the interim, Github seems to be picking a side of minimizing liability.
not at all, it couldn't have been smaller : personal app from an unknown dev.

I don't remember the specifics since I thankfully don't get my apps rejected often, but there should be a button to contact the play store support somewhere in the play store UI.

Unfortunately in this kind of situation, the play store handling, while understandable, does not make it easy for legitimate covid apps to be posted.
Right because there's no fraud in the financial sector.

The last time my debit card got stolen the fraud people at my credit union suggested checking my account daily to catch it as soon as it happens again. They didn't really even expect to be able to prevent it. Or pretend like they would try.

It's apparently my responsibility to make sure they didn't just hand out some of my money to whoever walked by and asked for it. They never know exactly who was responsible because they were responsible. Of course the law doesn't see it that way.

Bjarne Stroustrup: C++ [video]
Disclaimer - Backblaze employee here, but just speaking for myself:

It was.. sort of cheaper. They didn't actually build the servers, and as described the server wouldn't work (onboard SATA didn't support port multipliers, lack of ECC would probably cause problems in practice, bit hand-wavey on power/space/network/manpower costs, etc). The goal of the article was to get other people to build cheap storage and put it up for rent on their network. They do have some amount of storage space available for very cheap on the network now, but personally I suspect it's people who figured "what the heck, I'll give it a try!" as opposed to people actually building storage servers and making a profit renting them out.

I was honestly pretty disappointed - I'd hoped they'd found a cheap motherboard with ECC and support for port multipliers, but nope.
Tell us about it! What was it like for you?
Ever thought about just buying a TV that has no network connectivity capability at all i.e. "dumb" TVs?

Though rare to find a 4k/OLED TV that's "dumb", I managed to grab one.

If I do want certain smart features e.g. chromecast I can always just buy it individually for like $30.

1) The healthcare system barely handled the load, and that was with heroic efforts to reposition ventilators and build up temporary capacity. We barely handled it because most of the country was not nearly as hard hit, so we could still shift resources around. If everywhere was hit this hard at the same time, that would be a different story. It would need to be spread out more than you imply if we wanted to have all of the country trying to stay just below capacity.

2) New York City has lost .2% of their entire population to get to that ~20% number. Extrapolated out, that's once again back to the 1-2 million deaths range for the country to hit herd immunity.
Below case study of Covid-19 spreading in a call center in middle of Seoul is pretty illuminating.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/30/opinions/eye-opening-south-ko...

The case study covers infections in a 19-story mixed commercial-residential building. First case was reported on March 9, 2020. The office seating diagram provided in the article shows extended (10 min or 1hr not sure), very close proximity spacing physically is the main reason for the spread.

Note that this was a call center so people were sitting and talking without masks on for extended periods.

* On March 9, one day after the first cases were reported, the entire building was closed. Testing was performed almost immediately on 1,143 people (workers, residents and a few visitors) with rapid results available to those affected and the team working to control the situation.
The testing showed that 97 people (8.5% of those occupying the building) were infected. Most of the cases were women in their 30s and almost all (94 of the 97) worked on the 11th floor of the building, in the call center.*

I counted colored seats in the diagram and found 84 people in the call center got infected.

I think NYC got hit particularly hard because of subway cars. Enclosed in nearly airtight space for 10 - 30 minutes at a time.
The Most Effective Method to Use a Chromebook Offline
I assume that the use model is as a way to help human contact tracing, not to replace. Admittedly, the benefit is less then, but maybe it's still worth it?
The evolutionary pressure you're talking about isn't a given.

The Influenza causing the Spanish flu became deadlier in the second wave, it then evolved to be milder in the third wave, however, still more dangerous than in the first wave.

The evolutionary pressure is for reproduction, and if other factors facilitate reproduction, like a large window during which the infected are asymptomatic but contagious, or maybe airborne transmission, then the virus can very well be deadly.

It appears SARS-Cov-2 is very well adapted given how contagious it is. Personally I fear a more dangerous second wave in autumn or next year.
