You don't need to show up in front of the US Congress to protest. Thankfully if there's one thing the US knows how to do, it's for people to protest wherever they find standing room, and still get their attention. I'm not sure about you but I vividly recall this happening during Occupy Wall Street. People protested (even overnight) in all sorts of settings around the country that had no obvious relevance to Washington (or NYC).
Came here just to agree.
Titan V100's are pretty good for double precision, needs almost same operation intensity as Xeons to fully utilize them.
I've been trying to define the efficiency of wearing kn95 masks but you've probably looked into this extensively, tell me where I'm wrong:

Wearing a mask protects the people around you by not exuding the virus when sneezing/coughing, so covering your mouth with your elbow has the same effect.

I assume that while breathing there isn't enough pressure on your throat to exude virus with your breath, so the mask doesn't do anything here either.

In an isolated environment, the virus clings to particles in the air and takes 3h to gravitate down or towards a surfice, although this is faster in practice (weight of sneeze particles ann wind, etc) so when someone sneezes/coughs around you with no protection, you protect yourself by breathing through a mask. This is the only relevant benefit of wearing a mask that I found since I already cover my mouth while sneezing/coughing.
I was wondering why it had 6 CPUs (as opposed e.g. to 8). Seems that ALR did some clever engineering to work around a limitation in the chipset which was only designed for 4.

> 6x6 is based on the same 450GX chip set (previously known as Orion) as competitors' four-CPU offerings. The reason everyone else is shipping four-CPU systems is the chip set's 2-bit CPU addressing scheme -- allowing for four-CPU IDs. What ALR has done is implement two sets of three CPUs, where the missing fourth CPU in each set is actually a stand-in for the other entire group. The Pentium Pro's round-robin multitasking approach is preserved, and the four-CPU limit is broken.

Sorry if I came off as incoherent. I'm definitely tired of seeing keyboard warriors comment on things that they are obviously not connected to.

"At a high level though: surely you understand not everything is equally uncertain here, and that not everything is being flown blindly? We have like 200 other countries in the world to observe and draw conclusions from, both socioeconomically and medically. "

Yes, you are 100% correct, and I appreciate you taking a charitable view of my comment.

The issue I see here is that the 200 countries we can observe provide a massive stream of data that then gets applied through a tribal filter.

Those who advocate for continued, strict shutdowns look at Sweden and compare it to Finland/Norway negatively. Those who advocate for moderated, easing shutdowns for economy look at Sweden and compare it to other countries with internationally connected economies in Europe in a positive framing.

I see this constantly playing out, with endless justifications/explanations for why "I'm still right."

"They had more testing, and they are better people and can be trusted to wear masks, so no, we're not like South Korea"

"The Swedes are culturally less individualist, and can be trusted more"

"Georgia and Texas are going to be disasters. It hasn't been a full 2 weeks, but just wait, the incubation period..."

2. Are you using asymmetric cryptography to make sure only you hold the key to actually decrypt the passwords?

3. What forms of MFA do you support for authentication in order to open your vault/decrypt your passwords?

4. Where are you storing the decryption key?

This is true for aerosols (like measles). Not for droplets.

2. Anyone know what in the hell that one actually does?

I remember the Youtube dev story posted here. They optimized Youtube page at some point, deployed and saw much worse average load time for users. As it turned out the whole new batch of users saw load time decrease from unusable tens of seconds or minutes on slow connections to tolerable less than 10-20 seconds or so and they started using the site which dropped average time by a lot :)
All these modern developers usually ignore how their websites overloaded with usually unneeded scripts and trackers load on slow networks and PCs.
New Zealand is at 21 total. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/new-zealand-coronavirus-elim...

1) Stop infected people from entering the country. If you have enough testing capacity, you can allow in those who are clear. Otherwise they have to be quarantined.

2) Track every infection within the country.

3) Test all their contacts.

Of course, those are very hard to do in an airtight fashion. But the smaller the absolute numbers the easier they are to do. Countries not working towards building this capability are just going to keep struggling.

I prepared a few DoorDash orders in the past, and noticed that what was normally about $60 for dine in was somehow $110 after a $10 delivery fee and a “50% off delivery” coupon.

Got it. I have a project that I want to do based on a TI CC-1125 to connect 303 MHz devices in my home to a smart home system, but of course all the interesting parts these days come in QFNs.

It's unfortunate that the economics of low-volume prototype manufacturing don't work out for the home designer.
Hi, this is my most recent project as part of my PhD. It is a python module for computing the realisation of a quantum system directly from its input-output frequency-domain transfer function. It should be useful to anyone interested in quantum computing or quantum optics.

Until recently, it has not been possible to systematically produce a quantum system corresponding to a given input-output transfer function. Instead, physicists guess based on intuition at what quantum systems produce what kind of frequency-domain behaviour. This instead introduces a totally systematic way of realising quantum systems of arbitrary complexity from its behaviour in the frequency domain, the reverse process of what is previously possible, and totally changes our process for designing quantum systems

Thanks!

Dr Birx on the coronavirus task force says government is classifying all deaths of patients with coronavirus as 'COVID-19' deaths, regardless of cause. See video-proof in [1]. This is due to the highly unusual CDC guidelines on how to classify coronavirus deaths.

Epic Games Is Down
Epic Games is down due to huge load after they announced GTA 5 free copy to everyone.
It is even worse in Firefox, half my history is just outright missing. It is like it only saves the final page each tab was open to instead of anything I browsed using that tab in the interim.

Not to mention the UI for Firefox's history is pure garbage of the worst kind. The fact I have to go three menus deep just to open the history screen is bad, the fact that it isn't a screen and some kind of dumb pop-out /thing/ that cuts off content is terrible. No time-stamps either, or way to organize the flow of browsing (e.g. under what tab/window it was open in).

If it worked correctly it would still be bad. But it doesn't work correctly making it the worst part of Firefox right now, it has been broken for over a year.

PS - The history-missing bug is still active as of right now. Half of the pages I visited this morning just outright aren't listed at all. I was searching on google using a site: modifier and middle clicking open dozens of tabs, almost none are listed only the root searches.
Main thing that would prevent me investing in this stack is that the runtime has been designed with typescript in mind. In a few years if the typescript thing blows over, you're left with a runtime and conventions skewed toward statically-typed programming patterns.

At this point, there is clearly a vuln in a tool that brands itself as secure and in opposition with another project.

The marketing around Deno has been made toward that and it makes no sense to reach 1.0.0 with such a big security issue unhandled.

Also, this part is even more frightening https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/1064#issuecomment-43....

At this point, it is clear that Deno is lying for marketing reason by calling itself secure.

Of course Ryan deserves empathy, so does Bert. But in the meanwhile during their talks at major conferences, they have trolled a lot another project. The maintainer of that other project now get weekly/daily pings from deno supporters trolling them.

I'd trust this system if it were double-blind. The government issues an identifier to me (separate from SSN). I feel OK giving that number to restaurants. If there is a reason to initiate contract tracing, the restaurant hands its list of identifiers over to the appropriate government agency, which cracks open its vault of identifier --> contact information

Seems no less open to misinformation than the current system but gives vastly more protections to personal information. Doesn't even seem that hard to set up in the grand scheme of things.

Price Is Not Set in Stone: Strategies for Increasing Your Revenue
no, it's not fair, but that's the inherent risk of freedom. people might not do what's best for you, or even themselves. under this model, the government actually has to cultivate a position of trust/legitimacy rather than just compelling people to do (or not do) things.

it's easy to forget that most people act with consideration and respect towards each other most of the time, whether or not there is a credible threat of punishment. we tend to notice bad behavior more in our day-to-day lives precisely because it is not the default. you never notice all the dog walkers that dutifully clean up after their pets, but you'll surely remember that one piece of dog shit you stepped in on the way to work. the news almost exclusively covers outliers.

in my state, we have mandatory shelter-in-place under threat of fines/imprisonment, but the police don't really have any way of knowing whether you are violating the order. people mostly follow it anyway, because they are convinced of the severity of the issue.

This strikes me as a different class of problem. Of course software developers are at the mercy of other software and hardware, and have been since the days of yore. And even in that case, you could still potentially debug the issue.

This is a different class of problem. In this case, a gatekeeper is asking you to use their service to distribute software through their channel, and that channel is governed by vague rules that may, in fact, be enforced on a whim. Further, the gatekeeper isn't being clear with the rules, and why you may have run afoul of them.
