Suggestion: While your paper is very intellectual and I laud that, perhaps what would work better for mass uptake is to create your own programming language around the concepts you propose, and let people try that language. You could call this language "Featherweight Go" if you wish, but perhaps it would be better to call it something else entirely, and simply state that that this new language
was inspired by Go.

This choice comes with potential business, legal, and other ramifications, for example, should Google get all of the benefit, in terms of fame, goodwill, users and other intrinsic bonuses from the work you've done; or could you profit (if that was your goal) if you were to create your own company around this new language?

You see, that's what I mean by potential business and legal issues.

Oftentimes, people who are employed by other people work extremely hard on academic pursuits, such as academic papers, yet their work is never adequately rewarded, compensated, or even appreciated.

Which is why I suggest you create your own language and possibly your own company around that language. Because otherwise you'll never know nor understand the true economic value of what you've created, and you might spend an eternity trying to convince people who are of lesser intelligence to read your paper, whereas they could be using, downloading, telling their friends about the great new language you created; and maybe even paying you money, if you played your cards right...

Note that I am not suggesting you go this route (it's your decision, maybe you just want to bring better free open source software to the open source community and that's highly laudable), all I'm saying is, you might be on your bed on your 85th birthday, and you might look back at your life, and you might wonder "boy, I wonder what would have happened had I tried to start a company around this set of ideas; I wonder what would have happened if I had taken the road not travelled.."

That's all I'm trying to say...

Nothing more, nothing less.

Your choice.

Make it wisely.

Your paper shows tons of intellect.
My point is that it is theoretically possible but practically impossible. Rare events sometimes happen. With no background in biology, I can't say what the actual probability is. Is the chance of a single virion infecting a cell 1 in a sextillion, or only 1 in a million? In either case, it is still possible, as far as I understand the definition of the word 'possible'.
I disagree there will be no inflation. But, it is an indirect effect as you describe. The half-life idea is intriguing however.

Mutation is not a magic, in fact neat in my nick name stands for Neuro Evolutionary Augmented Topologies. Point is, you have to demonstrate concisely location of mutation with effects of less potency in addition to effects of changed environmental variables.
It's an odd problem. What newspapers have done historically with respect to reporting on local politics is almost unquestionably a social good. It's also inarguable that they've done so as businesses, funded by advertising for the most part. That has worked because people wanted to pay a little bit (each) to read them and advertisers were willing to pay a lot (in aggregate) to reach those readers.

So what's changed? Advertisers are less interested in the medium itself. Meanwhile, readers have built a very low estimate of the value of journalism.

But what is that estimate based on? Suppose that as citizens we all accepted that local political reporting was absolutely vital to our society, and that without it we would face an unmitigated wave of corruption and worse. How much would we each pay to avoid that?

I understand that people don't accept that news journalism is that vital, and that this affects their estimate of the value. But are they correct?
It sounds to me like the doctor is anthropomorphizing the virus and saying what the people want to hear. It may be that the pandemic is receding for a variety of reasons, but that's almost certainly not because the virus itself has mutated.
I've seen multiple videos now from the recent riots of people being beaten either to death, or near death.

I didn't see anything like that from the 2A protests.
I mostly get my news through RSS feeds (I have a small Python script that makes use of readability-lxml to convert partial RSS feeds -- the kind that most news websites provide -- into full feeds).
I'm working on this with https://intrgr.com.

We look for the <meta> field on any article we aggregate for their payment request id https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request.

In the near future, the article owners will then be paid a portion of the reader subscription corresponding to their share of the total readership.
What are you talking about... Two members of the Go team are on the author list.
You are paying for bad news. The quality of the forced state TV in Germany is not great.

No analysis, just giving politicians a platform for their uninformed propaganda. The main objective is to program the population to keep working without complaining. Bread and circuses.

If you want facts or background, get the Financial Times.
I disagree. Don't pay for the news.

I might pay for Netflix or HBO. If one is insufficiently entertaining, I won't. It makes sense for Netflix/HBO to compete on producing the most entertaining and addicting product, and I know that's exactly what I'm paying for.

If news agencies are funded by having more subscribers, they'll also be incentivized to produce the most entertaining and addictive content.

The value of news is not in telling me what I want to hear, nor you what you want to hear, it's in telling us what we need to hear but don't want to. You & I might both be high-minded enough to pay for news that bores us or offends us - but I hardly expect the typical person to do so.

I don't have a better suggestion - but a per-article paywall, or even a subscription, leads to the same clickbait sensationalist rot that advertiser-supported news suffered.
It's unfortunately in JS that + is used for both string concatenation and number addition. There are however defined rules that anything concatenated with a string becomes a string. And anything used with -/* > < becomes a number. As a beginner in JS I always used -- instead of plus when doing addition. But as I got more experienced I learned what was strings and what was numbers. And if I'm not sure I add an assertion - so that there will be an early error. I also parse all input (user input etc) not even a static strong type system will help you there, you always have to check/parse the input at runtime! JavaScript is strongly typed as in whatever the user inputs it will be converted to a type. JS don't have that many types and usually it becomes a string.
It absolutely does. It doesn't have any nominal typing at all, so even classes are compared structurally.

I assume they're not considering it because typescript compiles to javascript, so it doesn't have the problem Go faces of how to generate code for its generics. The wording is definitely weird though.
I don't work in the industry, but I have the training, and can confirm what he said. No AI or ML. We use a combination of closed-form solutions and deterministic numerical analyses. There is no actual need for AI or ML in this problem domain, outside of perhaps the design phase. Sometimes dynamic programming and some ML techniques are used when, I dunno, figuring out the best configuration for an antenna or profile of a nozzle. But flight dynamics and control do not need AI, as the physics are well-understood.
I don't know about the PinePhone in particular, but the time to shipment for my PineBook Pro was very long since it was done in batches after orders came in.
Would that be the homicide rate that's shown no significant first-derivative variance from the national rate since 2015? - the homicide rate that you're not even bothering to cite correctly? Those are figures per hundred thousand, not per hundred as you give them here.

In either case, you're massively misrepresenting the "stand down" order, which was not a policy of indefinite disengagement, but rather a specific instruction given in the scope of the 2015 protests in an attempt to avoid further escalation. Whether or not the order was successful in that sense is a matter for separate discussion, but to claim it's a permanent thing, the way you are doing, is simply false to fact - which is probably why you still haven't sourced that claim.

While we're on the topic of BPD actions during the 2015 protests, have you heard about the cop who used the opportunity to loot drugs from a pharmacy and later sell them on to street dealers? [1] I suspect not; for all your apparent interest in the doings of the Baltimore PD, you seem surprisingly ill informed. That's far from all the Gun Trace Task Force got up to, either [2], nor were they alone in their corruption. These are things you need to know about, if you want to talk about policing in my town and expect to be worth taking seriously. But here you are, needing to be told about them. I wonder why that is.

I think these are good times for this theory of not needing a CS degree to be tested. I am thinking of Google's recent rescinding of offers to thousands of contractors, or the latest from https://layoffs.fyi/tracker . Lots of companies have frozen hiring.

I know I would not want to be among the "I did some coding on my own, and a bootcamp for a few months" brigade. Also someone is of this age and is not thinking of it, but in some years time how will they feel in tough times when they have no degree and have a mortgage and kids, and the wife just told them another kid is on the way, and their current job is shaky or they just got laid off?

Of course you can always point to outliers like John Carmack and what have you.

I don't see how getting a CS degree is "the longest" way to reach that goal. You will have to learn most of this stuff any how (unless you never learn it and want to be doing low level low paying CRUD work in thirty years). The only difference is you get a degree when doing it, plus professors with office hours, peers studying the same thing you are etc. College is flexible - you can study for four years, or you can get a full-time job and take one class a semester at night or on weekends. The latter way is longer, but eventually you graduate.

As far as expenses - you can go to an expensive private school, or you can go to an affordable but decent state school. And if you want an impressive college name at some point but money is an issue at the moment - get a Bachelor's from a state school, then get an advanced degree at a fancy, expensive school at some future point.

Look at all the layoffs and rescinded offers and hiring freezes and ask if you would prefer not to have a degree now. If you send your resume in but you don't get a response from a high percentage of them - maybe it's because they got a lot of resumes, and only kept the ones of people who had degrees.
Mental Health in the Cybersecurity Industry
I graduated from high school in 1982, and already knew how to program. I was keenly interested in programming, and my mom was teaching intro CS courses at a local community college. Now her advice may be outdated, but it was that programming per se is too easy to justify 4 years of college study, if that's what you want to do for a living. Also at the time, many of the colleges didn't really have full blown CS departments.

I ended up teaching myself programming (and electronics) while doing a double major in math and physics, which led me to develop enough of an interest that I continued in physics through grad school.

I had a summer internship at a computing facility, which led me to think that a pure programming job would actually be kind of boring. Again, this was long ago, and is related to my interests and not yours.

Today, I program. A lot. In fact, if you walk past my office (my basement right now), you've got a 50% or better chance of seeing a code editor up on my screen. But I use programming as a problem solving tool, and am not employed as a programmer. Good programming skill is a "force multiplier" for virtually any occupation.

One thing about college is that many students change their majors. College is a place where you can be exposed to a whole variety of fields, and where you can soak up the vibe of a field and get excited about it. I don't know where I'd have found my love of physics at a coding boot camp.

CS attracts a lot of students who are interested in computers, or who hear that it's lucrative, but are not necessarily interested in computer science as an end unto itself. But, figuring this out is part of the college experience!
Not them but plenty of other services offer per movie rental or purchase
I'm actually near Atlanta where some of the looting is. I'm mixed and partly AA, can't say I particularly approve of the violence given how dangerous and destructive it is.

Of course, what originally happened in Minneapolis is not excusable either.
Eh, if it's part of your job where you're used to using the abbreviation because you're used to everyone around you using it and knowing what it means then sometimes it can be easy to let it slip when having discussions out of work that pertain to your line of work (as with the parent).
Seems to be legal because HotJar, FullStory, etc offer it as a service. Maybe ask their customer service.
> But I also worry that such requirements can lead to worse results. Generally in a well run organisation, you want people to be able to speak their mind and disagree about things, but if the organisation makes a bad decision and those disagreements are recorded, they will be used against them.

There's an existing mechanism in Parliamentary systems: cabinet confidentiality. All papers, records, minutes etc associated with the cabinet are held in high secrecy until a long period of time has passed. Australia holds them for 30 years unless they are otherwise active records.

It does as you say: allows ministers to talk openly amongst themselves in the highest governing body. So long as leaks are rare, it's an effective mechanism.
We have an example of a better component, that is otherwise very similar: the first stage engines of the Saturn IB and the Falcon 9:

H-1: https://en.wikpedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_H-1

Merlin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Merlin

The Merlin has considerably higher specific impulse and thrust/weight ratios. It also has very fast throttling, a necessity for vertical landing. And, it's remarkably cheap (less than $1M per engine). I don't have the figure for the inflation-adjusted cost of the H-1, but I suspect it was much more expensive.
The root problem is not the cops. Well, the abusive cops seriously aggravate the problem. And the police is the enforcement arm of the system.

But the root cause is the economic system on which America is built, and which it enforces throughout the world with its military, and enforces domestically with its militarized police.

Predatory capitalism has run its course for the past 500 years. It’s all about extracting from the poor, and feeding it to the rich, the well connected, and the powerful. In this case, the rich are the white wealthy Americans, and they have been at the top of the ladder for the past 300 years in America.

America needs a new economic system.

What’s the point of making $15/hour, or $30,000/year, when your rent costs you $15,000/year, or 50% of your gross income? You barely have any money left over for other mandatory necessities.

Meanwhile, the oligarchs that owns the stock market and Wall Street, and Fortune 1000 companies, lives lofty lives, and Bezos is about to become the world’s first Trillionaire. And if they fail, and screw up the economy for everyone else, then well, they’ll just get another bailout. The poor ends up paying for it, since costs go up for everyone.

But in an alternate universe, Floyd was arrested because he was suspected of using a fake $20 bill. But somehow, he drives a Mercedes Benz SUV, which is a rather fancy vehicle for someone to be driving, who’s suspected of using a counterfeit $20 bill.

The rents are too high. The cost of living is too high.

The wealth distribution is not even. And what we have right now in America, is run-away capitalism, where the rich takes all the money. And the poor, the destitute, and especially the minorities continue to suffer.

This fosters a society where poor people are destitute, And they resort to unlawful things, and the larger society mandates tougher cops and tougher predatory criminal laws. Which feeds ever more on itself, in a vicious cycle, until something finally breaks. And that’s what we have this week, with the death of Floyd, and the nationwide protests.

If you can solve the economic system, then maybe, you can get cops who are not afraid of minorities. But to be honest, I have little hope of either issues ever being solved.
You can deploy Kurento (or Janus itself, for that matter!) inside a subnet of the LAN, to act as a media bridge. Then, if the security group / firewall / whatever is configured so it allows the media bridge public network access, then it could be used to send the data directly to remote peers.

This however would have the bridge in the middle of LAN connections, so it wouldn't be a point-to-point flow, and the server would be able to "see" data passing through it.

There is however some new work on what's called "insertable streams" in Janus, which would allow e2e encryption directly between sender and receiver, thus having the media bridge purely act as a "blind" router, not being able to see the streams passed through it.

Janus has some very recent support for this [0], while this is (for now at least) not standardized and out of scope for Kurento.

We're just a group of nerds, geeks, software engineers, engineers, startup junkies, and overall technologists who share news, talk concepts, and just about anything computer/science related.
Okay, then I'm really not sure what you are trying to say. It sounds to me like, you have tried a bunch of news sources, and none of them are as unbiased as you would like, so you would prefer the news not exist at all than exist in this state.

Or maybe you are saying, you don't want to pay for the news unless it matches your expectations -- but you DO want the rest of us to pay for it so it continues to exist?
Hey, it reminds me of what we did at my former research lab. It was a Computer Human Research team, and we were focusing on ways to measure the interaction lag when using a mouse, a keyboard or a touch device: http://mjolnir.lille.inria.fr/turbotouch/lagmeter/

I participated in writing 2 papers. In the first one, we used an optical mouse on a screen displaying a special texture to measure the end-to-end latency. In the second one, we used an external Arduino (quite similar to what the author did here) connected to a photodiode.

For what I remember, the main factor on the latency is the screen, use a gamer screen to improve the delay (CRT screens are told to be quite fast also, but we hadn't access to one to test :'( ).
Heh, I've had it since before covid.
Reuters touched only briefly what Dr.Zangrillo said. He is aware there are no mutations that could be traced to any change in clinical outcome (everyone else who talks about "reduced potency" also acknowledges that fact).

But indeed, lockdowns or not, there has been a decrease in ICU usage and in viral load of patients. Treatments have also improved somehow (aside the "ventilator yes or no" debacle, according to Dr.Gattinoni, an Italian doctor working in Germany, the actual intubation parameters like flow of oxygen, etc. have also changed).

People think social distancing and masks may have played a role (probably), but bear in mind that until the beginning of May, the government was still saying that masks were useless (a thesis still shared by some Italian experts). Only Lombardia mandated them also outside (as far as I remember).

Personally (I don't have any evidence to back it up so far, so it's just speculation), I think that the route of infection matters. The vast majority of cases in the past two months were in nursing care homes (a complete screening in Lombardia in the past days found 30% positives there) and in hospitals, which also mean more viral load (closed systems) and more vulnerable people.

That is no longer the case now. I know that some doctors are now handling people in "house confinement" rather than bringing them to the hospitals.

P.S.: Testing capacity indeed increased but there's a lot more to do to get to decent levels.
There’s more than just dialog in screenplays.

I wonder if you could create a GAN that renders video from the script.
I read Russia considered to disconnect their module from ISS when the agreement about ISS expires.
If you’re going to encounter opinion-based editorializing anyway, there are probably worse sources than one with an overly well informed investigative journalism editorial board.

I'm trying to decide what the right call is if school is online-only in the fall. On one hand, a lot of what you're paying for is in-person instruction and all the other experiences you get in college. If it's online, it's not worth $5k-$10k for a semester. On the other, if a college says you can defer, there might not be room in a year because of how many people deferred, and the longer your break between high school and college, you're either less likely to actually go to college or less likely to graduate.
I've never paired them, curiously.

The News Quiz is still a R4 show so transition would perhaps be the wrong word. Extension, assuming they have the same source as you imply with your comment.
Volkswagen Adds ‘Vehicle-to-Everything’ Communications to Revamped Golf
He actually said he's aware there are no known mutations that can be traced to a different clinical phenotype (Reuters did not report that part).
In that case I'm sorry -- what IS your argument? It wasn't clear to me from your original comment.
Meaning not getting conquered?
There are a couple things going for this machine:

- It's fairly inexpensive, even when compared to cheaper build machines.

- It's very open and easy to hack

- It's fast to the point of being actually useful

- It has a six-core asymmetric CPU (two fast A72 cores, 4 low-power A53 ones). That's not available on any x86 based laptop.

- It's almost completely Windows-proof.
I'm pretty sure that most people would prefer their code hard-wrapped at a certain line length.

let me know how to find the non-paid source who works full time checking out my local city politicans and officials (because that's a full time job even in a city of 80k people)
I think this would lead to papers writing articles that people would actually read, which sounds pretty great. Until you realize that that mentality is the whole reason Buzzfeed exists, and why the media pushes negative news so hard. That is what sells.
I think it's also for evolutionary reasons. A virus that is milder survives better and spreads more. A virus that kills the host, or in this case makes it sick so that it self-isolates, has lower fitness.

The so-called Spanish flu pandemic (not Spanish at all, probably from Asia as well) went this route. It became very mild and the pandemic vanished quickly after killing millions.
Looting and rioting and attacking shop owners trying to save their businesses and burning down cars and buildings. Not peaceful protests.
People don’t like Spanish I guess
