Maybe because the protesters don't want handouts from agencies which have done a very poor job dispersing said handouts already.

I can go to a superstore which is deemed essential because it sells groceries and buy all sorts of items that specialty stores aren't able to sell me because they're closed. any member of the public can enter these superstores with no screening whatsoever. The small business owners would screen customers much more effectively than a large store would.

It's almost like we've taken steps that are arbitrary in nature and aren't actually scientifically valid because we don't have enough data on this virus and how it actually spreads. these arbitrary measures are then doubled down upon by the local governments in the name of preserving their authority and looking good to the press.

what really bugs me is the level of certainty that people seem to have about this. I'm coming from a position of uncertainty. Anyone being honest right now is doing the same.

Look at your comment: you are absolutely certain that a dubious at best chance of economic survival for small businesses is being traded against a certain chance of a public health crisis. I don't think you're being honest with yourself with a level of certainty like that. You're just like the rest of us flying blind, but you are just positive that you are right and that businesses should be closed to support your preconceived notions.

It's real easy to do that when you have a job that allows you to work remotely. It's not costing you anything just let those Walmart shopping losers go out and deal with the unemployment system. In the meantime a percentage of all of our tax dollars goes to paying off interest on the national debt and that percentage is going to have to increase as a result of this.

I'm not a moron or a science denier. I'm fine with taking on debt to the degree necessary to maximize public health. But there are multiple dimensions to public health not just this virus. My brother's business is in jeopardy and it was growing fast before this pandemic hit. Now I'm deeply concerned that he's going to fall back to an addiction that he beat 10 years ago. That's a tiny story that represents something that's going to happen in this country when young people who would otherwise be unaffected by the virus or going to suffer economic calamity.

By the way my brother always voted Democratic. Due to the false partisan positioning of opening versus reopening pushed by the media, he is now never going to vote Democrat again and plans to vote for Trump in November. He voted for Clinton last time think about that.

In the meantime people on keyboards who were going to vote for Biden anyway are now pushing policies that are going to hand this election to Trump. Maybe the elderly will carry Biden since many appear to be switching their votes. But when they're dead in a few years the young people who have lost their businesses will still be voting. It's not going to go well.

I created a web console for AWS to overcome one of my major frustrations with the original one: being able to see resources from multiple regions from view.

https://daintree.app/#/about

Of course the AWS console is enormous, and this is just a side project with some resources - not interested in replace the original one, just being able to monitor resources from all the regions we deploy in :-) WIP of course, and I am not a frontend developer, so be gentle :-D
Take your shoes off. (sorry, I had to)

Go walk outside without them on something mildly unpleasant, like "chipseal" pavement or gravel for short distances - the increased feedback will encourage you to walk gently (advice stolen from Barefoot Ken Bob's book, which is rather nice).

Take it slow. Don't feel like you have to go 100% minimal-shoe all the time. Take your shoes off at home. Maybe get a pair of thin sandals - I personally like Xero Shoes (they also sell a kit if you're into that, and they're one of the only pairs of sandal I've had that actually last for multiple years). Moccasins are also lovely, if you can find some with a thick sole (or buy some buffalo hide and DIY!).

Minimal shoes don't last any longer and generally aren't any cheaper than regular shoes in my experience - getting comfortable with your feet on the ground when possible is the cheapest long-term option.
No. Like I mentioned elsewhere here, almost everyone I know hates it and I myself hate it as well, while I am a social monster (put me somewhere and i'm chatting to everyone in no time flat).
OnePlus Reveals Its Next Steps in 5G
> only builders that can exist at all are the ones trying to extract maximum dollars, and those who try to experiment with more affordable building types are locked out of the process

Your market may vary, but I can say there are different tensions in mine. Understand there are very different reasons in SF, NYC, etc.

We have less direct, homeowner-led, NIMBY resistance to increasing density.

Affordable, small, dense housing here could be built, but if you're a builder... there are more rewarding options.

I look at builders and investors as rational actors (in aggregate). They're not going to turn down an opportunity to make more money.

So the onus should be on the ex-builder/investor portions of the process to realign the market so that affordable, ownable starter-home housing stock is the optimal self-interested choice for builders and investors.

Simply mandating affordable housing is a joke -- it never gets built in economically impactful quantities.

Get creative! Maybe just say "Any permits for properties above this price range automatically have +6 months of wait time added."

And, personally, I see dense rental developments as just a more efficient way to transfer wealth from workers to capital.

Say what you want about bank mortgages, but it's a competitive market, and the homeowner gets to keep equity (or, let's be honest: inflate away their debt while their home's current-money-value keeps pace).

I guess the way I look at the entire system is that you'd be hard pressed to come up with a financial reason to develop high-density, affordable homeowner-owned homes, if you have the options to build higher end or rentals. And that means anyone doing the former is going to be outbid on property by anyone doing the latter.
DNS blocking is an affordable technology deployed in many countries. For example in the UK if you use the sort of large ISP advertised on TV it has DNS blocking.

With DNS blocking if you try to look up a "forbidden" FQDN you get back either a bogus NXDOMAIN or A records chosen by the blocker.

DoH bypasses DNS blocking pretty cheaply. DNSSEC would detect it and stop but doesn't bypass it. Tor bypasses it but at considerable cost.

The (eventually indefinitely delayed) UK government plans to institute mandatory censorship of the Internet relied on DNS blocking as their backstop. The idea was if anybody anywhere in the world didn't voluntarily agree to obey censorship rules, they'd be blocked in the UK. The government would just accept that some proportion of users would install Tor to bypass that restriction. DoH means "some proportion of users" potentially becomes "everybody with a modern browser" and that was not palatable.
IMO, these are still useful, but should be rebased away before a PR in a large project.

True true, my comment was not clear. With asyncio it's still a single threaded event loop (that can be clustered like Node or any Python processes as has always been done).

With sub-interpreters, I wonder how different it is from normal multithreading like in JVM. Need to read up on this idea. I can't see how it wouldn't require the same locking and mutexes or message passing if multiple interpreters are to work on logically related data.

So my immediate thoughts were about leveraging it as a replacement for multithreading and event loop clustering by treating the interpreters as lightweight processes and having them communicate over some kind of protocol. Like how the BEAM does built-in process supervision.

The "supervisor" process itself is async in the way it coordinates the tree.
If the demonstrated speed ups translate to real world performance, then I’m truly blown away. Looks like Nvidia will be holding onto the AI crown a while longer.

The only thing I wonder is how difficult is it to take advantage of some of the new arch features, such as TF32 format or sparsity tensor ops.
i've been trying to write a plugin for obs studio that allows you to embed lego build instructions in your twitch stream, using magickcore to convert pdf screens into obs textures.

i think the final plugin will be generic PDF slideshow media source embed, so it can be useful for more than just lego.
I missed going to pub-quizzes (yes I know they have moved online but it is not the same) so I made a quiz for my friends to complete at their leisure.

Just a simple (click and go) video monitor for your pets/baby. Click "share" on one phone/laptop/tablet, and you can connect and view it from another. Video doesn't use bandwidth unless you're actively viewing, and doesn't go through our servers unless you require TURN (rarely).
So in other words you never write anything worth keeping. People deleting themselves is massively annoying and a major dick move to the rest of us who have to guess what was said to understand the context.
The large majority of researchers and business getting into NVidia products doesn't seem to find it that relevant, rather what tools, GPU programming languages and hardware they are able to put their hands on.
> If you can claim to have an electric car, I can claim (with greater warrant, mind you) to have electric public transport.

Then why did you disagree with my post calling for electrified public transport (by pointing out how it emits less per passenger)?

> When I said "As for long haul delivery..." I am speaking about trucks outside of cities by definition.

I was very specific in my post about "delivery trucks in the cities". I don't see why you felt you needed to explain to me something about long haul delivery, it's not relevant.

In our WebXR community we hold business meetings in Mozilla Hubs or VRChat -- and we've closed contracts that way.

For all of the problems with VR/spatial meetings, boredom is not one, and Hubs makes for a pretty good Powerpoint with fidget spinners.

It requires the office buy into gaming/avatar culture (which I realize is a tall order) but it works for us.

Also just anecdotally, here in Ontario people seem to want to avoid catching and spreading the disease, more than to avoid clashing with the law (who can't really tell if you have a legitimate reason to be somewhere anyway); and the people who don't care about one don't care about the other either.

For the handful of people I see clearly flaunting the restrictions here, I feel like more often than not they have decent personal reasons for doing so, and I don't think it's my place to stick my nose in that.

A free person does not take orders from the state, nor from anyone. A free person has a right to weigh advice and conscience on his own terms, and negotiate his externalities with society.
Well for security minded folks, the fact they can't use traditional comms (likely because of existing snooping techniques) is a good thing.

Now, does all that snooping and invading countries increase the background desire and willingness for bad guys to do terrorist-type things, almost certainty.

Importing FDA authorized masks for everyone else that can't buy in bulk quantities. MaskHQ.org if you or anyone else wants KN95 masks that are authentic and have a paper trail back to the actual manufacturer.

After getting into this, I've found out that there are a literal crap ton of people selling fakes and it is extremely hard to prove the source of the masks so I've been doing everything possible to provide transparency in the supply chain (including having customer names added directly to production contracts with the manufacturer).

PSA: KN95, N95, FPP2, and other NIOSH certified masks coming out of China are at a minimum around $1.5 per mask FOB (meaning to the manufacturer) then you have to get the masks into America with import taxes, ocean or air freight and then local last mile delivery and warehousing. That easily can add $1 per mask. My point, if anyone is selling masks for <$2 per mask in small quantities, they are probably fake. The raw material cost alone has skyrocketed for 99% material that is used in the production of >95% masks.

For example, our cost to reliably (~20 days) get 2M masks landed in the USA, ends up being $2/mask. That's without any profit and not including local delivery.

Happy to answer any questions! Orders@maskhq.org

I'm using Firefox and all I have to do to view permissions for an extension is to go to about:addons and click an extension, and there will be a "Permissions"-tab that lists what permissions this extension requests. It's similar in Google Chrome IIRC. Other than that, both browsers lists the permissions an extension requests when installing the extension, and further when the extension requests new permissions.

You've invented Tor.

Although Tor is better, because the connection reroutes dynamically. And worse, because anyone can volunteer to be an entrypoint or endpoint - this matters because a very well-resourced adversary could conceivably control both your entrypoint and your endpoint, and use a timing correlation attack to de-anonymize you. But I don't know that nested VPNs are immune to that either, given the level of invasive surveillance 5-eyes has over the entire internet.
It's not much of a chasm, trust me. Once the ends justify the means, the state can build up in a couple decades to doing basically anything. It didn't take long in Venezuela.
That's what I do, but I still keep only a small number of tabs open in each of a small number of windows. But FYI you can just drag the tab(s) down and they'll form a new window.

Exactly - intern labor is cheap, flexible, and there's a "wax-on wax-off" mentality where they may learn by proxy but are also in a safe environment where they won't hurt themselves or the company. A script and the associated automation could become the expectation or could lead to a key-man-dependency-risk.

It may be lucrative for the friend to take the script and turn it into a product. but then they'll need to market, sell, document, optimize, and do a million other tasks.

There has always been a dead zone between "automated script that makes me work a bit more efficiently" and "product that can make everyone with this job work a bit more efficiently". Fortunately, new technology is narrowing this gap.

For me seeing people on webcam is a totally different experience than from seeing them in person. I don’t get any of the signals I get from being in the same room so for me it’s basically useless and even distracting.

I think with some image computation it should be possible to give a much better video conferencing experience. Add better backgrounds and maybe have several cameras and compute a more 3D image vs the weird angles we see now.
The main components I used, are: NestJS with Express as an app server, KnexJS as a query builder (because people seem to not like TypeORM that much, it lacks migrations and you have to go pretty fast to custom SQL queries), NextJS for the UI.
