So, the problem is being poorly reported.

At his press conference Cummings said that he was definitely not in favour of herd immunity, and was not against lockdown. And he said that he could prove this because of his writing about coronavirus.

To me the problem isn't that he edited the blog to include the word coronavirus (because I agree, it's pretty clear he was talking about coronaviruses and flu viruses). The problem is that his blog post says nothing about lockdown or herd immunity. It's a moderately interesting idea about increasing security at biolabs. So his blog doesn't support his claims.
What was so hard to grasp with my comment?

If your query was meant to say,

SELECT *
FROM users
JOIN posts ON posts.userId = users.id

the ORM has so many unnecessary characters just to get to this straight forward SQL and you have to learn how to make sure the way you write will generate the SQL that you want that uses the proper index everytime you change framework is just something I wouldn't do.

I didn't say the SQL generated is convoluted but the way you need to write so many characters that doesn't hold a meaning is convoluted.
My bad, I shouldn't have assumed ignorance.

I was just so frustrated when the instance cut me off from people I follow, sorry for the language.
Useful, but it contains factual errors:
>S3 File storage. Not directly used for mounting, but you can directly download files from HTTP.

You most certainly can mount S3 buckets, and its done frequently in data pipelines throughout the industry[0].

>S3 Glacier Low cost storage system for backups and archives and such

Sure but it would be good to include why there is a tradeoff in price, why is it low cost? For Glacier its intention is to provide storage, but rarely fetch data, as it is very slow.

You are in for a treat.
I have the feeling that the "legendary thinkpad serviceability" means two things: the document that you cite is publicly available and that customer disassembling the whole thing and replacing one subassembly is supported way of solving warranty claims.

And by the way, the "good thinkpad" series (ie. letter + two numbers) were both made and designed by Acer/Wistron and significantly mechanically simpler than the previous IBM designed thinkpads (eg. if you disassemble "low-cost" 600E, you end up with ~10 random-ish machined aluminium brackets and how to disassemble the thing is highly non-obvious).
The article quoted says:

"Although the Wuhan market was initially suspected to be the epicenter of the epidemic, the immediate source remains elusive. The close relatedness among SARS-CoV-2 strains suggested that the Wuhan outbreak probably originated from a point source with subsequent human-to-human transmission, in contrast to the polyphyletic origin of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (14). If the Wuhan market was the source, a possibility is that bats carrying the parental SARSr-BatCoVs were mixed in the market, enabling virus recombination. However, no animal samples from the market were reported to be positive. Moreover, the first identified case-patient and other early case-patients had not visited the market (15), suggesting the possibility of an alternative source."

And there are people online that read it very differently from you (https://twitter.com/toad_spotted/status/1263536558482866176).

Thinking about it some more, it seems there are three main effects:

1) High skill effect. If you invite someone who has higher productivity than average for your country, that has basically the same effect as technology. This is a strong argument for skilled immigration.

2) Low wage effect. If you invite someone who's willing to work for a lower wage (being from a poor country), you are better off, but only until they learn to ask the same wage as natives. This is why I think Caplan's main argument for unskilled immigration is weak.

3) Poor proximity effect. Most natives don't want to live among poor people, so natives become worse off when you invite poor immigrants. This is a strong argument against unskilled immigration.
I thought it was the other way around, Lobsters and Shrimp could only be sold to tourists and for export in Cuba.
I pretty much agree with all of your points, but I also think there may be a more fundamental issue at play here. ML doesn't actually "understand" things - it can do very sophisticated and accurate pattern matching without actually "knowing" the logic of the patterns it's matching.

This in turn means that it may fail catastrophically when faced with adversarial examples or with examples that are drawn from a different distribution than that of the training set.
Yeah everyone "knows" this, but where's the proof? I've never seen any proof that syntax highlighting helps someone who knows their code well. Things that are supposed to be common knowledge like this often turn out to be false when someone eventually decides to challenge their assumptions.

I programmed for a full decade with Notepad alone. I don't think colored keywords are important, though I use syntax highlighting today.
My ISP had a page about IPv6, but they've since removed it and when asked now say IPv6 is only supported by their own router box. They do DHCPv6 as well, with a single /64. Which makes IPv6 a PITA.

Of course it doesn't help that a lot of software (hello pfSense) is written around the idea that everybody will get a static /56 or similar that'll never ever change. Which is a pretty silly assumption IMHO.
Regardless of her political stances, there is plenty to critique.

The "sound" old public-school-boy* persona that used to rule Westminster used to be considered trustworthy by the ruling class. Now it's widely seen as risible. Wherever we see honour or holiness we should be very careful IMHO, it's often two-faced.

Theresa May's "selfless-public-service" persona represented inflexibility to the point of negligence. I don't doubt that she did personally suffer for it. But in taking the lines she did, she inflicted far more suffering and pain in some of the most vulnerable in society. She persisted with a disasterous public policy with Brexit. Whatever the politics of it, the inflexibility that formed the subtance of her persona was dysfunctional.

She'll be remembered for her "hostile environment policy" and "Brexit means Brexit".

I see that AWS IoT Greengrass is missing. https://aws.amazon.com/greengrass/

I may be wrong but from what I understood, it's more or less a way to manage AWS Lambda functions (cgi-bin scripts), Docker, and a MQTT client connected to AWS on your GNU/Linux devices (raspbian on a raspberry pi for example, or a x86 pc).

However you still need Ansible or similar to manage the device so the actual value is kinda low because if you have a setup to manage the device, it's not much more work to manage docker and a mqtt client yourself. About running AWS Lambda functions on a the device, I think it makes sense for AWS to check the box "IoT edge computing with AWS Lambda" but unless you have a huge codebase in AWS lambda, it seems to be a bad idea.

In one sentence : "vendor locked half baked IoT platform".
It will be pretty hard to pass on company with a real PMF, irrelevant of anything else.

I don't feel that 99% of what people call PMF really exists. I don't think of AI/Blockchain startups ever had PMF at Series A stage and none of the hardware/bio startups ever do.
Covid-19 and Childbirth
You can install business processes that give chances for unethical decisions to be reviewed and identified, though. Committees are shit for innovation but relatively effective for squashing interestingly bad ideas along with any interestingly good ones.

I read the apology letter as
essentially saying he single-handedly drove the idea, in part because he was flailing due to COVID killing their bottom line, and was tunnel-visioned enough to not recognize it was unethical. Even at face value, that’s absolutely troubling for a CEO in TB’s domain. But smarter people have done dumber things under pressure, and sometimes dumb is at someone’s (or a lot of someones) expense by mistake.

So I’d like to think this was an exceptional occurrence, and I appreciated his personal post-mortem of sorts. However, taking this as charitably as possible, a process-oriented RCA focused on how he’ll keep his runaway ideas from being a one-man show—or whatever the problem actually was that saw this conflagration actually see light of day—wouldn’t suck.
Oops, I think I misunderstood what I was replying to. I see what you mean.

I'm more interested in exploring getting the entire AP ecosystem be encrypted by default, using Chris' work.

I don't think I care that much about profile deep-linking to other apps. I would rather obsolete that need.
I'm not sure about regressing, but I think we've almost reached peak IPv6: everyone who planned to support IPv6 have upgraded their software and infrastructure, those that were sceptical, lazy or downright opposed to IPv6 have no plans to support it, now or ever.

Having an "ipv6" configuration option in your software, which defaults to false, falls into the latter group. (Hello, Docker!)
Not really, because the rename regs only limit you in very straight-line code with little else. Basically, very well behaved inner loops. If you are linking two different libraries into your code that alone probably adds enough control flow and other stuff to make something else limit the code.

In general, being limited by regs is a very happy problem to have, as it usually means your code is already extremely tight and well optimized.
NuSan (https://twitter.com/NuSan_fx) does regular livestreams where he writes a shader from scratch in a couple of hours. They're always impressive and you can learn a lot from seeing his process. He also puts the code for his work up on Shadertoy which is really helpful.

Companies simply append 'deleted' to your email address or other data in your record. This then makes the system reply there is no account.

You think it's actually gone while they still have your data.
You should do the GDPR request no matter what and hope they're honest in responding to that...
Ah, well, I guess I prefer having consistent data. The only way to have consistent data is to forbid the database from representing inconsistent states. If inconsistent states are allowed, they will appear.

Germany wrestled its censorship laws from hard history lessons.
That's simply untrue, speaking as the admin of a smaller instance. There are blocklists but they are entirely up to yourself to implement. I myself only implement rules to completely block far-right instances or "free speech" instances, those tend to cover almost 99% of content that would be frankly illegal for me to federate. The rest is a few japanese and sex-positive instances, which are only media-blocked, so they still federate but I don't allow their media on my server, which I think is an acceptable compromise completely blocking it. And from talking to other people running instances, this is pretty much the norm for the fediverse, regardless of what the far-right instances want you to believe.
The US’ status as global hegemonic power has been eroding lately.
The fact that he added the word 'coronavirus' does not change the fact that SARS (which he in fact did mention before) was a coronavirus. He just added the word 'coronavirus' next to SARS in an existing sentence to emphasize that SARS is a coronavirus. He updated his article but didn't really change its meaning.

It's not that big a deal IMO.

No need to lynch the guy over this.

If you don't put responsibility for bullying on management, who do you put it on?

IME, bullying was protected by the school because the rule was always "Anyone involved in a fight is punished, even if they didn't start it."

That meant that if someone hit you, you got punished for it. So you couldn't report it or you'd be punished, which basically meant that the majority of conflicts went unreported.

Nobody was holding the school responsible for it, and so they did nothing because it was easiest for them.

However, unlike in-person bullying, cyberbullying is always recorded. (Well, unless you're on voice chat or snapchat or something, I guess.) There's a paper trail for people to follow and determine what really happened.

Perhaps ultimately it shouldn't be the website that's responsible for that, but I know if I were running the website I'd feel ethically that I had to do something.
CacheFly is another CDN with a somewhat similar name ('CF'). I think they're all different enough that things are clear, though.
The issue with pitch decks is that they represent only the legible part of the fundraising process. The promise of a good pitch deck is that it gets you funded. However, this is far from the truth.

The truth is that the biggest early-ish rounds (pre Series B) were not closed because of the pitch deck, but despite of it.

Actually, the earlier the round the less important does the pitch deck become.

It's the illegible part, that so few talk about and that can't be shared that is the main driver. It's the social reality surrounding the founders and the round. It's the whisper and rumors inside the investor community, who makes the intro, the medium of the intro (phone or email) and many other small things.
How is that a factual error? It didn't say that mounting was impossible, just that it isn't directly used for mounting. How did you conclude that it's done frequently throughout the industry? What percentage of S3 customers do you think does this? If I would have to guess I'd say less than 1%. But I am happy to learn I am wrong.
It's still possible to have personal judgement if a claim is true.

I assume many people would aggree that preventing bots from spamming a forum is not a form of censorship, even though it might be "technically true" in a sense that muddies the seriousnes of what we usually mean with censorship.

So having dissenting accounts deleted and the company claiming they are cleared as anti-spam does not mean anti-spam suddenly falls within the narrow definition of censorship some people use. It means the company is lying.
"Drive across the country and go for a picnic in Barnard Castle" apparently
I do blame "Happy Eyeballs". Broken IPv6 has become invisible and therefore unimportant for ISPs.

Disabling IPv6 because of some -maybe imagined- problem is akin to disabling every new tech because it might be to blame. Tech will just progress one admin funeral at a time here.
Gonna get downvoted for this, but here it goes...

If we don’t acknowledge sex differences in interests of subjects, then we fail to see the true problem, and thus an actual solution. Why is it taboo to say on average, one sex is more likely to take on a specific kind of work than another? Despite evidence [0] [1]

I’m all for increasing the opportunity for everyone to participate in specific subjects. Yes, at one point in time oppression from one sex against another was real in intellectual pursuits, be it academia or certain areas of interest. And there are instances of it today. But it’s not as pervasive as so many commentators or inclusion boards want it to be.

But to try and get a 50/50 split, or whatever arbitrary ratio, is madness. It implies personality is 50/50 split, as personality is directly related to interests, among other factors (such as writing dry, technical content, which men (on average) tend to gravitate towards). These ratios are impractical, and verifiably false. Men and women on average have widely different personalities, based purely on biological sex. Evolutionarily this makes sense, as each had a specific, important role. Today we have the luxury of looking past the necessity for adhering to these roles, but denying they’re not a part of our genetics is denying reality.

It’s no different than asking why person X dislikes subject Y. Is it because of institutional oppression? Rarely, yes. But for a vast majority of people, person X just doesn’t like subject Y. And if on average, sex Z is disinterested in subject Y, then naturally we’ll see a disparity between the representation of each sex in subject Y.

Most people who knit are not biologically male. There exists male knitters, as there exists male nurses. Is there a cabal oppressing male knitting on an institutional level? Doubt it.

Using inclusivity as a goal has unfortunately become a loaded word. It’s now more akin to price control in a market, essentially forcing a metric value that is arbitrarily chosen, without understanding the implications. I’m not saying this instance in particular is using the word in such a way (though the tone of the article leads me to believe so), but for a vast majority of cases this is how it’s interpreted. We should not be striving for equality of outcomes, but equality of opportunity.

I’d guess the Euro in the short term and the Yuan in the longer term.
The restrictions in Wales were generally stricter than the English ones. In England, people were somewhat advised against driving to national parks or other green spaces to walk, but ... well, read the wording of the Government's own contemporary FAQ and see: https://web.archive.org/web/20200402224312/https://www.gov.u... Quite vague and fuzzy, isn't it?

If I remember rightly, there was actually a bit of a controversy over this because the police in some areas got it into their heads that no-one should be driving to places to walk full stop and started pushing that message and complaining about people not following it, even though that wasn't actually a rule. Though it's entirely possible a lot of the media coverage of that has also been memory-holed and only exists in the Wayback machine; the BBC in particular have been completely rewriting articles a lot lately.

(The restriction to one session of exercise per day was also only legally enforceable in Wales and not England, for some reason, even though it was part of the advice in both.)

I knew that the server variant of the Skylake core tacked on a few extra sections to enable AVX-512 and the extra L2 cache. [0] But I wasn't aware that the base consumer Skylake core already had a blank spot reserved for the AVX-512 register file.

In hindsight it makes sense, but it raises the question why in 5 years of iterating on the Skylake core, Intel hasn't tried to fill in that blank and implement at least one AVX-512 execution unit on their consumer chips. It seems like they could have gone for something running at half rate to avoid the severe down-clocking the server cores require when powering up the full AVX-512 unit, and they'd gain the benefits of the mask registers and other new AVX-512 features and stay years ahead of AMD (expected to deliver AVX-512 in 2022?). Instead, this seems to be another feature that has been delayed by Intel's 10nm failures.

> integrated into the AWS UX

Sure, it should be right in the headline of the service's "about" page. The fact that people need this at all is UX problem.

If people are reading your "about" page and nobody understands what the hell your thing does, maybe your marketing, faux-tech, word salad is pointless.
> Cummings said that he was definitely not in favour of herd immunity, and was not against lockdown.

Well, we already know that he was actively pushing for earlier lockdown within the SAGE meetings (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-28/top-aide-...) so he should be off the hook for that bit of misinformation (earlier in the year the media were trying very hard to make it seem like he was the architect of "herd immunity").
Even monoliths are dealing with outbound network calls.

I assume it depends on your current solution, but for a new project, I find that setting up instrumentation and pushing traces to Zipkin or Jaeger is very straightforward, at least on the JVM. Out of the box I can see the overhead on top of DB queries and plain HTTP calls. And if some bit of internal logic is particularly time consuming, I can add a custom span in two lines of code and figure out what's going on. There are of course other ways to achieve the same thing, but the experience feels nicer.
And it's probably worth considering that democracy after the forties in Germany includes Strafgesetzbuch §86a.

Indeed. One of the entries like this is a dedicated robot infrastructure service (like, managing real robot hardware that does something out there - think delivery robots). Certainly out of the usual software domain. They also collaborate with a few different quantum computer companies that do different approaches to quantum computing (gate based and annealing) which is an entirely separate field of science and most likely out of the usual comfort zone of most IT people.
A funeral, attended by many people, is rather different than a drive and walk through nature with the people you live with. Anyhow, the hypocrisy angle makes sense. Two strikes for everyone involved: one for coming up with the stupid rules and two for then breaking them themselves/covering it up.
Plus the cognitive impacts of higher CO2, plus ocean acidification, plus the noise and pollution being exhausted at ground level inside cities, plus supporting barbaric regimes that mine the oil.

Just scrap it all and go full electric. Coming out of COVID lockdown is a great time to invest and mandate.
Yeah I'm not very enamoured with Welsh rules at the moment, especially the fact they are only revised every 3 weeks. Personally I'm lucky to live in the countryside, really feel for those trapped in cities though.

There could be some semantic issues here. It would seem that a non-trivial number of people have a connection where the actual speed differs a decent amount from the stated/expected. This has certainly been my case after living in L.A. and Chicago.

Perhaps the previous commenter perceives a 10gbps connection as the speed of an actual, say, 5gbps connection.
