After a dozen years of "real soon now", there's no particular reason to think the context is still being established.
I’m getting my popcorn ready for this episode of “walking dead” unfold all over the internet news outlets.
Yes, they absolutely are doing that. Life in the US is a worsening hellscape for the increasingly permanent underclass, commonly one small medical crisis away from homelessness. A "managed population", most reliably vote to make it worse for themselves, year after year.

Just controlling ground for a garden is a privilege.
Can anyone relate this to a human scale? What would it mean to be caught in an unstable space-time? How could it be exploited?
No, people are willing to spend $x to mine bitcoin because they can sell it for $x, not the other way around. If I spend 2x as much mining bitcoin, the price doesn’t double. But if the price doubles, I can afford to spend 2x more mining it.
Aside from S3, does anybody actually use those?

Software that works with S3 tends to work with competing APIs as well; just change a config option. Even if you’re interfacing with the API directly (you probably shouldn’t do that—use some sort of abstraction layer instead), there are open source alternatives that support the exact same API.

SQS can be useful for getting data out of AWS without worrying about whether your callbacks are down. For example, if you’re using SES, you might want to know when emails bounce; you can have all those events sent to SQS, then pull them out whenever and store them in something more generic. I don’t think it’s particularly common to use SQS beyond that.

DynamoDB—is that even still a thing? Isn’t Cassandra basically DynamoDB 2, but open source?

Aurora is expensive and makes exporting data a pain. I have no intention of using it until it’s easy to set up external replication so I can fail over to other providers (or leave). No external replication, no business, especially at that price point. Aurora was quite a disappointment.

Beanstalk is another one of those things that nobody actually uses. That being said, it doesn’t really lock you into anything; it’s just a way to automate some basic AWS tasks, really. But it’s generally more trouble than it’s worth.
I had no idea Peel had started these back in 1968. For example I didn't think he'd have had Jethro Tull on, I assumed he came after that. Clearly I need to read up.

I listened to these as a teenager in the 1990s. Very nostalgic to hear this now. Also sad to think of the defenestration of radio 1, however at least radio 6 got some of their remit.

Obviously there are loads to listen to, but just to highlight one I'm enjoying right now that wasn't what I expected

True. Software is soft for a reason. There's always a new requirement or vulnernability waiting to be exploited that needs to be updated.

I love this topic.

I like writing. I've been writing all my life.

In the last couple of years, I have taken to building a "personal brand," by writing about the way that I design and develop software.

It's been really good for me. I find that it helps me to consolidate and focus my thinking. It also helps me to feel accountable, and I'm a big believer in accountability.

If I write something, it had better be true and accurate.

I often review everything that I write in public, and make even small grammatical corrections (I miss one, every now and then, though).

I also like reading. I devour books; usually escapist fiction. The first non-child book I ever read was Where Eagles Dare, by Alistair MacLean. I started reading because I lived in Africa, and the TV sucked.

> But if there was a button that said "save the planet but destroy a few (<50) lives," it wouldn't be unreasonable to hit it.

Of course, you are assuming the button actually does what it says. Maybe it just kills 50 people and saves a tree.

There mindset reminds me very much of religious men rolling into colonies and being ok with any kind of thing so long as they could maybe save a savages soul or two.

Once the argument hinges on grandiose intentions, damn near anything becomes "reasonable" and that is cause for alarm.

You're very good at inventing creative scenarios. Well done.

I don't really know where to start, you clearly want to defend your comfort zone. So I will be supportive: go work on projects that require Linux. It will be much more rewarding to you than working on constrained edge devices that are more challenging due to resource constraints.

You're also free to pretend that you can just swap in platform that requires watts of power in a scenario that requires an edge device to last a year on a battery.
> Whatever happens, difficulty will be adjusted so the same 10ish minute block reward time is maintained.

How is this calculation distributed and agreed upon?

Is there really some constant "10 minutes" hard-coded into all mining clients, who then must all compute the difficulty based on how long the previous block took?

Or is the "10 minutes" an emergent property of some other calculation?

No, there was a Tesla internal e-mail saying that Tesla will take temperatures of Fremont factory employees and hand out masks. Whether that's actually happening is unknown at this time.

If personal protective equipment is required, the employer has to provide it. It has to meet the usual NIOSH standards. Which means N95 or better masks for everybody. Hard to get, but if Tesla is "essential", they should be able to get them.
For the US at least, the COVID Tracking Project records multiple screenshots per day of the official websites where those numbers are published.

I bounced back and forth between Denmark and the US for many years, though I've been in the US for the past 4 years now.

The best way to understand Denmark from an American perspective would be something like "Imagine if everyone in America was lower-middle class". Whether this is better or worse for you obviously depends on whether you're poor, middle, upper middle or upper class.

For me, Danish culture was something of a nightmare of 'tall poppy syndrome' and bleak, hopelessness that hard work doesn't pay and that no matter what you do, you're stuck eating sack lunches and taking the bus to work because your spouse needs the one car your family can afford. That said, if I had an intellect that limited academic abilities or a more naturally lethargic approach to school and work, I'd certainly find my life more comfortable in Denmark and see the American model as unforgiving.

Basically, Denmark pulls up the bottom towards the median, at the cost of pulling down the top towards the same point, to a far larger degree than the US. Everybody gets just enough, but nobody is allowed to have more than just enough.

Please do, instead of claiming you can back it up, please just do it, what are you waiting for?

The list of offline renderers adding GPU ray tracing support is pretty long. If you think the trend isn't real, then are you saying you believe the list isn't growing? If you think it's imagination, maybe you could produce the list of serious commercial renderers that are not adding GPU support, and perhaps evidence they're not currently working on it.

RenderMan, Arnold, Blender, Vray, Modo, RedShift, Iray, Clarisse, KeyShot, Octane, VRED, FurryBall, Arion, Enscape, FluidRay, Indigo, Lumion, LuxRender, Maxwell, Thea, Substance Painter, Mantra... pretty sure there are whole bunch more... not to mention Unreal & Unity.

It's quite true that memory limits are a serious consideration. Which is why, currently, GPU renderers that swap aren't generally a thing. They will be in the future, but right now you get CPU fallback, not swap. So seeing the claim about swap in the comment makes it suspect. Despite the trend and various improvements will continue to be a factor for a while as the limits improve. That doesn't change the trend. It means that preview is currently a bigger GPU workflow than final frame.
No one's getting arrested. The city already replied that they aren't going to do anything.

>50ms would be literally unplayable

You can learn to play it. Pipe organs routinely have more than 50ms latency just from the distance the sound has to travel from the pipes to the organist. Add the time needed to set up steady oscillations in large pipes, and the slow pneumatic actions found in some organs, and >200ms latency is nothing unusual. The important thing is that the latency is consistent.
Maybe so. Separate question: why were they deemed essential by California?

What passes for "technical analysis" is rather insane, and isn't limited to the crypto community. It seems to grow around assets that are easily purchasable by the lay public, have lots of random price noise, and unclear fundamentals. Foreign exchange is another good example.
I'd hope for a quick and to-the-point meeting.

Or even better, I'd hope for a written email explaining the detail instead.

I never encountered a layoff. But I encountered several rejections after on-site interviews.

And, every time, the recruiters insisted on talking on the phone. It wasted my time. Scheduling a phone call required scheduling it the next day and finding available time and etc.

Just tell me the outcome. Personal communication is great, but it shouldn't waste people's time.
Detroit auto makers aim to reopen factories May 18

Not sure I agree with this. The important point is that a lot of employers have learned in the last few months that it really does work to let people work remotely. If so, the pool of employers is now far larger.

Also, my comp is currently quite low, rather close to my "I'll just retire" line. Yeah, the offers could drop, but not far without market failure.

Finally, I'm well over 50. Turns out that that matters more than anything else we're talking about here.
Do that, and they'll move the factory. Tesla already pay an obscene amount of money in taxes. ...oh, and fines are tax deductible.

> This very often happens during in person layoffs already, "we're sorry to let you go, security has a box with all your crap at the door".

Yes...and? That's also an inhumane way of laying off employees and frankly, any company that treats their workers like that deserves to be heavily criticized.

Calling this more humane is a bold take, but a wrong one. It's akin to getting laid off in a single mass email across the company. What happens if someone missed the meeting, or if they were otherwise working on stuff with their team? It's flagrant disrespect for their time and the work they've put in for the company. Calling them not cowards when they made the most cowardly way of laying people off isn't right. It's one step away from getting a text from your boss telling you to stop coming in and that they'll mail you your stuff.
Once the NLRB disagreed with that assessment, his case got pretty weak.

I listened to him my whole time as a teenager.

When he died, I remember hearing on the day and I was not that effected by it. When I got home, I think maybe seeing the radio or something, it made it very real. I sat on the bed and wept in a way most unlike me (relatives and close friends excepted). I've certainly never even come close to this kind of emotion for any "famous" person before or since. He was a wonderful DJ who introduced so many kinds of music. A real loss for the UK.

And yet clearly here his work lives on, which is great to see.
Yes, I always use them to pay for VPNs, VPS, domains and email. I've also used them to buy things like computers, games for Steam and Lego.

> You must also take into account the history of intentional civil disobedience where the government has over reached and the population simply reaches the point where it refuses to comply.

It is one thing for Musk to publicly proclaim he is willing to go to jail, but are all the rank and file workers?

At what point does the civil disobedience become workers telling their employer they will not violate the law by returning to work and risk jail just to pump up the stock?
I only read the ACLU one but that asserts the same.

The the advocation against war was deigned on the fact that you're "in danger". The fight against the government was about the sliding scale of the remit, not about the original statement being "legal" or not.

Incitement is a real crime, if you knowingly falsely shout "fire" or "he's got a gun" then you're guilty of inciting panic[0].

It is unequivocolly not legal to _knowingly_ and _falsely_ incite panic.

Though, proving that might be difficult, and it appears to be a misdemeanour charge, if it leads to death you can be sure you will be tried for manslaughter.

History shows interpretation of facts can be extremely racist and sexist. Phrenology and hysteria both come to mind.
It sold 40 million units versus the N64’s 20 million units. N64 was black? Big whoop. Price, abundance of titles, and some other factors come before anything like that.
Obviously there are agents that are like this, but imagine this scenario:

-- You want to buy your first house, I sell you a house.
-- You have a couple kids and want a bigger house. I help you sell your house and buy a new house.
-- Your stock is doing well and you want a vacation house, I help you buy one.
-- You want an investment property to send the kids to college and/or pad your retirement fund. I help you buy one.
-- You are ready to retire and move someplace else, I help you sell your house and I refer you to an agent in the place you want to buy.

Thats's seven deals I can potentially help you with, if I take care of your needs and earn your trust and business. Compare to what happens if I don't do right by you and you go to a different agent - I get one deal, no referrals to your friends, no nice words from you I can put on my website, etc. So sure, there are agents that are purely transactional, but those agents are doing it all wrong - for you the client and for themselves too.
Keep printing tons of money and soon we'll have millions of them.
What's interesting to me is the market reaction: TSLA is close to all time highs. It seems to me like retail investors like the disobedience done by Elon.

An alternative would be to make no changes to the world due to COVID-19, just like we shouldn't have created TSA after 9/11.
I had a weird bout of something in the middle of March. It was a mild fever, general weakness, and a strange pressure in my upper abdomen. It lasted a couple of weeks.

Before that I had gone to see my GP for a med update for refills. Apparently my doctor also saw what would be one our area’s earlier coronavirus patients that same day. I’m presuming I got put into the same waiting room as that guy.

I’d like to try an antibody test, too.

>Think native TypeScript parsing in a browser today!

If only...

Or better yet, a bytecode format that is easy to target for scripting languages like typescript, clojurescript, scalajs, coffeescript, dart, and even plain JavaScript. Webasm is too low level (at least currently) since it doesn't have a GC, direct DOM access, etc. Most js engines have an intermediate bytecode representation anyway, it would be cool if you could target that instead of textual js.
That's an interesting take on things.

I would say that California has a strong economy in spite of it's government. Not because of it.

The thing is: public safety laws aren't like racial segregation at all. If they are, I look forward to stuff like "civil disobedience" against child labor laws, etc.

> ...being a law abiding citizen does not mean you are no longer allowed to think for yourself.

That's true, but it also means being accountable and not acting without regards to others. Musk is acting like a petulant brat here, and I hope the Alameda County sheriff talks some sense into him.

I'm a family physician working in an outpatient office... there's just so many viruses that can explain those types of symptoms that are STILL more common than sars-cov-2.

I saw a 31yo 2/18 with primarily sore throat, aches/feverish (not documented), and again on 2/20 because the sore throat got significantly worse. I started feeling iffy 2/21 (Friday) evening and worse Saturday with a bad sore throat and fever around 102F, lymphadenopathy, this persisted for at least 2 days. I went to work on Tuesday and did a rapid strep (I did not feel I had strep but the other doctor wanted to do it)... I'm not really thinking that was covid19.

To believe this is true, you must also believe that efficient markets do not really exist.

Imagine if a publicly traded company announced that in 1 years time, they would buy back half of their outstanding shares (not a great analogy but its the best I can think of). What would happen to the stock price?

All securities prices in publicly traded markets are essentially priced as discounted cash flows over the next 20-30 years. The current price reflects all available public information about those cash flows.

I'm not saying efficient markets is 100% true all of the time, of course the world demonstrates that it isn't, but the level of disbelief you have to have in the hypothesis to believe that a well-known public event affecting Bitcoin will result in a 3x price increase is lunacy, IMO.
Even if that were true (it is not, as far as I can tell), they would know that it will be tracked and could possibly be used against them later. Never make employees choose between a paycheck and following the law.

If they die of COVID symptoms, then yes.
