It's feasible that they could do the work themselves and only allow access to a branch or patches for console to folks who have signed the NDA. This is basically how Epic works with Unreal. The Unreal source code is available for anyone to look at on github, but it doesn't include any console-specific code.

The exact quote, from your link.

“One minute,” the president said. “And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”

Saying that Trump suggested people "should drink bleach" is not an accurate summary of that statement at all.

It would be more fair to characterize that as "Trump asks if disinfectants could be used to treat Coronavirus".
If you’re a hiring manager and you think interviews are boring and repetitive, that’s your fault and your problem to fix.
It's not just hyperbole, it's grossly unjust.

Amazon quite rightly charge a higher price for some portions of AWS--transparently, up front, with tools to assess usage and estimate fees beforehand--because they created a product that many organizations believe provides extraordinary value.

And for the sin of earning a profit through voluntary trade, a vocal minority of HN damns them every single time AWS is mentioned. Every time we let this evil behavior go unchallenged, all productive individuals are diminished.
Converting bitmap fonts to TrueType is far, far too hard in 2020. I've tried to do the same on numerous different occasions with FontForge and gave up every time through things just not working or hard crashes. I either got lucky by finding someone else who had already converted the font to TrueType somehow, or used a different font altogether. Since bitmap fonts are starting to become deprecated[0] in some window managers like i3 this process is starting to become a necessity.

Maybe there should be a library-based approach that provides the same functionality as potrace.

The learning curve really isn't bad from Unix to Unix OSes and any of the additional stuff is really no different from the undertaking for learning about macOS.

You propose it's costing you $200 per hour, but actually you're also gaining real skills too that you may have otherwise paid for. Once you have a decent setup you really don't spend much time learning anything additional.

If you run into issues, there is a wealth of help out there and if you really get stuck you can simply peek under the hood, even make some changes.
I just want to comment that Laplace's rule of succession is equivalent to calculating a Bayesian posterior given a uniform prior. Very similar rules (like adding 0.5 instead of 1) correspond to different priors.
That's a good point! I'm assuming that it's on Earth as [this set](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003A2JCOA?tag=duckduckgo-fpas-20&...) shows cities on Earth as destinations for the train.
Without reading TFA: no. Probably could reach space. Maybe—maybe—orbit, but barely and I'd lean toward no on that, too.

The us-east-1 region is widely considered as the "default" region, and so it's where customers put resources when they don't have any particular reason to put it somewhere else. For that same reason, it's also where less-sophisticated customers are likely to run unreplicated workloads. It's also the oldest, and biggest, and home to the most different instance types and rack architectures. It makes life hard when your largest, oldest, weirdest, and most important region are all the same region, so AWS has been trying to nudge customers off of old instance types and out of us-east-1 with pricing changes for a long time.
EC2 also has GPU instances, right? The p2/p3/g3/g4 series.

Epichrome 2.3.0 (site-specific browsers for macOS) released
There's a couple related shared factors that cause correlation between diagnosis of various mental disorders.

1. People who are doing okay don't seek out diagnosis. One big example is Bill Gross, the "Bond King" who manages mutual funds - he happened to read the description of Asperger's and realize he had it in his seventies. Psychologists do not see a representative sample of society. If diagnosis A and B are both mild enough to cause some people with it to not seek treatment, but everyone with both to do so, you'll see a correlation between A and B.

2. All mental health diagnostic criteria share a clause that sounds like "and these symptoms cause a significant amount of distress or ill-functioning to the patient." This is similar to the first factor, but happens after people seek treatment; if you tell a psychologist that you aren't having any problems in your life, they do not diagnose you with depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. It almost doesn't matter what you have going on, if it doesn't cause problems its not worth using medical care on, so it doesn't get diagnosed. And again, if you only have one kind of thing causing you problems, it's more likely to not be severe enough to warrant some kind of diagnosis.

3. Similar to the previous factor, mental health diagnoses are used to gatekeep medical care and social support. So, people who need more resources than they currently have are going to push more for additional mental health diagnoses, while people who are more okay are going to be fine with the first one proffered. Eg, a young woman who is extremely anxious and whose mom yells at her all the time goes in, gets diagnosed with anxiety and prescribed anxiolytics, things are still bad because her mom keeps yelling, so she goes back and gets a depression diagnosis and anti-depressants. Or a school can offer accommodations for ADHD and not autism, or vice versa, so someone with one goes back and asks the psychologist for the other.

In short, there's a general willingness-to-seek-diagnosis that's an obvious latent variable for mental health diagnoses. I'd be more surprised to not find a positive correlation between two arbitrarily picked mental health diagnoses. If there's an outright negative correlation, that's something that would be actually indicative of a biological link of some sort - either the biochemistry of one complex protects against the other, or they're a pair of under/over-activity of a system, or the like.

If the latter, do you have suggestions for good WYSIWYG editors?

If I were to guess, I'd say it's to prevent both piracy as well as games being sold from 3rd party markets.
Yeah, that's reasonable to consider. If we compare to the toy planets in Kerbal, for example, Kerbin is about 1/10 the size of Earth. Low orbit velocity is about 2.3km/s and escape velocity is 3.4km/s. A rocket with 4.25 of delta-v would probably be about right, after factoring in losses to gravity/drag while launching.
The problem I can see is with all those PRs. Nobody ever merge them.

I have a ton of respect both for font design in any constraints and the reverse engineering effort required to produce old pixelated text in modern web browsers. But it still made it significantly harder for me to read, and I hope this isn’t something anyone will try to reproduce for real world use, because it’s not just a matter of taste at that point, it’s a matter of accessibility.
Right now, I'm editing all the files in a 3kLOC project in neovim, doing completion with an LSP host, in 14.8MB. Keep it going for a few days and you might rack up 40MB. People can keep creating lightweight editors all they like, but you really need to bring more to the table than that when vim already exists.

You can avoid installing non-required dependencies by adding the following (based on your preferences and/or use case) to a file in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory:

APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Install-Suggests "false";

Alternatively, you can do as pengaru suggested and the pass "--no-install-recommends" and/or "--no-install-suggests" parameters when installing packages, as described in the apt-get man page [0].

Yep, I could give you the big spiel but all I know is that: I make money betting on things that are priced poorly, I can't price something that is rigged, and people who have more money than me don't bet on sports that are known to be rigged (i.e. low-ranking tennis, African football, etc.).

Even if you did look at the odds and find out that, for example, underdogs hit more often...I wouldn't bet it. You would probably have trouble getting your money down, sometimes you would get voided...it just isn't worth it.

Also, your reasoning about the odds being high isn't necessarily correct. That is kind of first-level thinking but...if you think about it...you should realise why, if you were rigging games, you would (probably) make more money rigging even/favourites...although it would depend (in some sports where rigging is very very common, I believe it is far less common for favourites to be paid to throw).
I found it interesting due to the amount of effort it took to produce an inaccurate and barely legible approximation, at least on my web browser. Then I dug around the Fontconfig documentation and tried a couple of things. Changing 'hintstyle' to 'hintfull' produced much better, albeit imperfect, results.

Why go to this effort? I find the sharpness and contrast of screen fonts much more readable than anti-aliased fonts, at least under ideal circumstances (e.g. the screen font supports a given font size at a given resolution). Unfortunately, those ideal circumstances are incredibly rare these days.
I've tried, it's really hard though. At one point I started reading him a chapter from Harry Potter per day in the hope it would get him hooked on reading like it did for me. Well, it did get him hooked on the story, but since his reading skills were so low he would never read on his own so instead he begged his mom to rent the movies, and he promptly binge watched all 8 movies and proudly announced all the spoilers he knew. He also wasn't interested in hearing me read to him from Harry Potter anymore after that despite me hinting that the books were far superior to the movies.
This app lets you quickly create apps that let you access websites in self-contained web browser environments, with their own cache, cookies, extensions, etc. They can be chromeless and not even registered as a browser, or they can act as standard web browsers.

Among other things, the new release supports macOS 10.15 Catalina.

I've been using Epichrome for years, to separate personal and professional browsing, and to run a few web apps as chromeless apps. Very useful tool.

I'm pleased that it's still actively developed and released as open source.

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion, we considered it but weren't sure people would want it.

By the way, did you try mutating any of the designs? If you click on a design, the site generates related designs repeatedly and you can go as deep as you want. A lot of my favorite designs came from starting on an okay-looking design and mutating several times until I found something I really liked.
I do my own sysadmin work when needed, but I find plenty of places where I'm gladly willing to make the relatively small concession (pay the cloud markup). In the case of GPU instances I find they're not even trying to be competitive with market costs.

Anticompetitive behavior when they clearly state the price? Of all the things that lock you in to any provider once you are at any scale, data isn’t the biggest one.

If you have a massive amount of data, you can always get AWS to transfer it to you via a Snowball for $30/TB + a $300 fee.

How does the fact that people criticized the memo without reading it in full speak to OP's point about the memo having been taken out of context?

I'll also suggest, reading this memo was incredibly painful for many of my female colleagues and friends inside and outside of Google. I don't think they should have to read the entire thing carefully in order to have an opinion on it. Indeed, I am not a well-read expert in many schools of thought that I nonetheless object to.

> Worth noting the first couple outlets (Vice, Gizmodo) did not post the full memo when they dropped the story.

OP's claim was that this was intentional with the goal of creating sensational clickbait. I guess the idea is, the full memo was tamer and, had it not been excerpted, people would not have reacted as strongly.

Do you agree with this?
> rather than developing internally simply because the long-term ROI doesn't warrant it

To clarify, I am not expecting them to build their own cloud, but why they using it when other providers have caught up pretty much.

Power is accounted for in my calculations. Technically today's gpu compute does wonders for power consumption. And likely to only improve from here.

In the many years I've used cloud I've never requested support, so in my experience I don't need to calculate that in.

And even when you consider machine costs, as long as you can get at least 1 yr (not an unreasonable assumption) out of your equipment you're more than making up for what it would've cost in the cloud.
Got any information that isn't behind a paywall?
You can, but it does require one to RTFM and know/learn about the available installation options.

My automated "preseed" installs are quite minimal. I don't recall exactly how many packages I end up with on a new install but I think it was 224 -- much fewer than what you'll end up with when doing a typical installation.

Can you actually buy GPUs now? An advantage of Amazon in the past was that they were actually available there, where they weren’t available to buy in practice.
I can picture them being "OK I want to implement some cool cryptography stuff right now, what about a cryptocurrency wallet? Like that we can even get some funding".

Honestly I would have done the same stuff, I don't see why people are mad, it doesn't make the product less good.
Wait, are you saying it’s grossly unjust to criticize the pricing of Amazon’s cloud product?

Just to be clear: Amazon is not paying a variable cost for how many bits are transferred over their wires. And the standard, prior to cloud, and still in colocation, was to charge for capacity (i.e. $/gbps) rather than transfer (i.e $/gb). They are making massive, massive profits by this pricing arrangement. The cost of sustaining 100 gbps transfer for 30 days on Amazon is orders of magnitude higher than paying for one month of 100 gbps of IP transit.

They’ve normalized a pricing structure that is disconnected from any actual cost basis. You’re free to pay for it, but it’s quite amusing to say criticizing that is unjust.

I also enjoyed the short piece he wrote about himself for Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Artists Ever" list[0].

It's a competitor to YouTube the same way Mastodon is a competitor to Twitter (though Mastodon is probably more popular). It's a similar service but federated.

One neat (or overcomplicating?) thing about PeerTube is that you can follow a PeerTube account with your Mastodon account. Posted videos show up as "toots" and I'm guessing that your replies turn into comments on the video.

My team at FAANG uses reclaim.ai pretty heavily to protect our calendars from corporate bs. We find it easy to maximize our time for working and being in the zone.

As far as I'm aware, there's three ways that a lockdown can save lives - one is to reduce deaths caused by an overwhelmed health care system, another is to delay things until a paradigm shift occurs (for instance, a vaccine or miracle cure), and the third is to stomp out the disease entirely.

The first has been achieved - with a small margin in NYC, but far larger margins elsewhere.

The second will take another year at the most optimistic.

The third would also take a year+ at current lockdown effectiveness levels - but I'd expect mass disobedience before then.

* * *

And that is why I'd prefer to have lockdowns lifted for lower-risk populations. Yes, people in contact with the old or at-risk should stay in lockdown - but that does not mean that college students, or young families, or a variety of other groups should not return to normal. The more people that are infected, the lower effective r_0 drops (this is how herd immunity works) and the sooner the world can be made safe for at-risk populations.

The fact that this might also let the US avoid an economic downturn that makes the Great Depression look merciful is also a major plus. (Current US unemployment is estimated at around 20% - the Great Depression peaked around 25%)
