Of course they'll eventually call them "non lethal payloads" :P

> we encoded a set of rules that on their face did not discriminate on race. But their effect was basically to prevent black people from voting and enjoying their civil liberties.

That is quite a claim. I am neither agreeing or disagreeing, as I don't know enough about this. Could you share some specific examples of the rules that you are referring to and evidence that they were intended to prevent black people from voting and enjoying their civil liberties?
I suppose it's possible, but I haven't seen any traces of it yet. I'll look through archive.org, but it's all regional news in Canada.

It seems a lot of art is used for signaling purposes, aka ostentatious consumption.

In terms of ostentatious consumption, I think the ultimate would be Kobe van Gogh steaks.

Those are Kobe Beef steaks grilled over a fire that was built using a van Gogh painting. I hear the old oils based paints when they burn in the fire impart a very distinctive flavor to the meat that just can't be duplicated anywhere else.
Of course it is. And really, one of the things that gets me fired up is that comparing HIV to the current pandemic is that it’s just so lazy, and inaccurate!

And yet, here we are. It’s a tempting comparison for a lot of people because it’s the worst thing in recent memory.

And that leads to the other thing that gets me fired up - people trivializing HIV as “not as bad” or even sometimes as an example of a “good” public health response. It’s just so different in almost every respect that it’s inevitably insulting.

(Of course this is not directed at you, I’m vehemently agreeing with you I believe. :)
Yet we still have biology teachers the school I work at asking why we shut down for Corona/Covid and not HIV/Aids. He's a fucking biology teacher, and he refuses to see the difference because he wants his precious soccer team to play this year. It's so damn frustrating, especially knowing that nothing will happen to him because he's a coach.
That’s a shame. Facebook IC4 is somewhere from 1-2 years of experience to a new grad who has some sort of resume that is considered to have something equivalent to 1-2 years of professional experience, for people who are curious. IC3 is most new grads, IC5 is a senior engineer.

If it’s still the same as when I was there, most of their hiring is planned on a 6-monthly cycle, so it’s possible that around July 1 (the start of H2) they would open things up. But it’s also possible that with ad revenues looking bad in the short term, they might freeze hiring or drastically lower hiring for a longer period.
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-india-hydroxychloroqu...

Observational and case control studies in India showed there were "no major side effects" of taking the drug as a prophylactic, ICMR Director-General Balram Bhargava said.

Cases of nausea, vomiting and heart palpitations were noted, he added.

Last week, the ICMR—which is leading the government's response to the virus—expanded its advisory for the use of hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure.

The body said all healthcare workers in hospitals and some frontline personnel could now take the drug for up to several weeks under strict medical supervision.

"We recommended that for prophylaxis, it should be continued, because there is no harm. Benefit may be there," Bhargava told reporters.

Bhargava added that when the ICMR weighed the risks and benefits of the drug, it decided that "we should not deny it to our frontline workers and healthcare workers."
This isn't correct.

No. Please charge me for my actual usage, and earn my business by making me happy every month, or at most every quarter, not once a year.

Don't straight people do this too? Loaded question - of course they do. People take drugs and have sex. It's a human thing, not a 'gay' thing.
At least you took the sound advice of always using a library to do cryptography.
> Of course it is. And really, one of the things that gets me fired up is that comparing HIV to the current pandemic is that it’s just so lazy, and inaccurate!

God, please tell this to my coworker. He's a biology teacher at a high school for God's sake, and he's going around saying that we should go back to school because we don't shut down for HIV, and that the novel Corona virus isn't any different. The kicker is he, of course, still wants his soccer team to practice and be able to play their games and such. And he's, sadly, likely going to get his wish. But, seriously, the man is a biology teacher arguing this. It's so damn frustrating, especially as the school won't do anything about it.
The price of TP did almost double at the start of the pandemic.

Before March I could always find TP with a ~40% discount. After March you couldn’t find a discount and the price was up about 10%.

I personally didn’t buy any because I already had plenty on hand since I had just bought it on sale. But it didn’t stop anyone else.
Specifically: call them on the phone.

Go to town halls if / when they have them.

And vote.

I felt like I was re-hearing a church youth pastor sermon from 1985 reading the parent comment.
de jure the sovereign entities that you're labelling "world governments" already control everything, that's sort of the point of being a sovereign entity.

Even to the extent that there are exceptions to the rules they make, they made those exceptions too.

For example, the sovereign entities agreed centuries ago that none of them owns the open oceans but vessels that sail on those oceans shall display the flag of a sovereign entity and the entity thus flagged shall be responsible for that vessel's conduct and operation. This flag state regime proves to be problematic in certain ways in practice.

So what happened? Did some alternate power arise to challenge the sovereign entities in this regard? Nope. The European countries, annoyed by "flags of convenience" on the vessels they saw just arbitrarily instituted a new policy, under the Paris Memorandum Of Understanding. No need to "challenge" any existing rules, as sovereign entities they were entitled to just make up new ones. Vessels entering a European port needed to obey the Paris MOU rules, sometimes getting inspected and if necessary prevented from leaving until they rectified any problems to the port's satisfaction. Was that legal? It was now because sovereign entities had agreed that it was so. The new model was a big success and similar Port State Inspection rules soon followed elsewhere.
Ah, Lewis Carroll. I see some of his works as a step in a long line of thought, from Renaissance philosophy, art and science. In particular, his approach to logic feels like a precursor and influence on books like Gödel, Escher, Bach.

The joy the author takes on conceptualization and mental operations, logic and computation; the willful use of the Imagination to explore and deepen understanding - there's irreverence, "just for fun", like a child working with the most fascinating toy of all - the mind - and at the same time, a respect and reverence to the profound insights, fruits of the work of play.

I'm glad that the Minneapolis folks have skipped this completely useless advice.

The Reagan-Thatcher axis in particular was absolutely foul.

And both of them got so close to being assassinated too, very saddening that these failed, it would have been a righteous blow against vile conservative ideology.

It certainly is! Not sure what the situation is on Windows but Linux distros that have ARM versions typically have nearly all the same software that you’d expect on x86 in their repos. (I’m thinking of Debian in particular here, but I suspect others are similar.)

Nomad Team Lead here.

Edit: just noticed an actual Nomad user replied as well, and I like their answer better. Consider mine an addendum. :)

Batch workloads rarely require Consul, but for deploying your standard network services on Nomad: Consul is basically required. You could likely use any number of service mesh systems instead (either as sidecars, Docker network plugins, or soon CNI), but you'll be doing a lot of research and development on your own I'm afraid.

The Nomad team is by no means opposed to becoming more flexible in the future (and indeed better CNI support is landing soon as a first step), but we wanted to focus on getting one platform right and a pleasure to use before trying to genericize and modularize it.
> and like the lockdown protestors today, the AIDS protestors of the 1980's were upset by the need to social distance, although the gay jokes probably contributed

You have to be trolling. You can’t honestly believe that people protesting the lack of government action around HIV in the 80s were upset only that they had to “social distance?”

They protested because they had next to no information about the disease, testing was inadequate (and slow), stigma was rampant, and at the end of the day the government was content to let them die rather than search for a cure.

This is an incredibly reductive and insulting take. Don’t make rational arguments at the expense of normalizing what was an extremely cruel response by the Reagan admin.
> Also of note, is Ed25519 does not harden itself with additional "bits" in the normal RSA sense

Yes, it does, it is just not Ed25519 anymore, check out Curve448 and EdDSA-Ed448, same Edwards curve construction, more bits, more security. It's just that Ed25519 is plenty strong for many use cases.

Also, don't confuse the strength of the KDF with the strength of the curve itself as others have noted - Ed25519 is the same strength whether you hash your passphrase 1 or 50000 times. But with the 1 round your key might be easier to brute force if you have a weak passphrase.
I would hope that our great-grandchildren would despise us for the violence that we are inflicting on predominantly black and brown bodies, but that may be a little over-optimistic.
Loading classes over the network and running them in a configurable sandbox is what originally excited me about Java, but exploits were found and it's hardly ever used now.
I'm also from Minneapolis and had my car towed twice under really questionable circumstances.

My roommate got it worse though. He was towed for parking within 5 feet of driveway, yet the driveway was invisible because it had been completely covered by the 4-5 feet of snowed piled up on the side of the road.
The main difference is covid hit home. People dont really care when it happens in other countries - how many blinked as people were dying in china? Almost no one cared.
He is not worong, the coronavirus is not as scary as being reported. The death rate are very low.
It's pretty simple.

Imagine there is 1 doctor. Doctor doesn't want to treat patient (could be sick, could be tired) but patient "has a right to health care". The only way to honor that right is to force the doctor to treat them.

I'm not sure how "every government worker is a slave" fits. The things most government workers do have nothing to do with "rights". As an example there is no "right to protection" even though we have police. There are rights that prevent the police from doing bad things but there is no right that forces police to help anyone.
I personally aim for 10,000 IU D3 daily from either sun or supplement. In normal times, living in New York, I would supplement 10,000 IU D3 from November through March, and then I would make sure to be outside 1 hour a day with at least arms and face exposed.

Shots of 250,000 IU are given clinically and the therapeutic dose was traditionally 50,000 IU D2 weekly - corresponding to a dose of about 3,500 IU D3 daily.

I highly recommend getting tested for kidney disease if you are worried and get multiple vitamin D tests - the tests are imprecise but will give you a general idea of what your levels are.
I wouldn’t expect every biology teacher to be an expert on disease, of course... but wow. I would indeed expect a biology teacher to grasp the fundamentals of disease transmission.

> Is it that much different than how everyone jokes about HSV1 today?

Yes, the governments refusal to act on the AIDS crisis and the substantial stigma around the disease - resulting in hundreds of thousands of dead is "much different" from jokes about oral herpes on SNL.
I never said universal heathcare uses slavery. In fact I specifically said it doesn't

What said was claiming people "have a right to healthcare" requires slavery.

Universal Health Care != "right to healthcare"

Thank you for being tolerant.

I extend the same tolerance to you even though one time I saw a homeless man having sex with a homeless woman on a public riverbank. I try very hard every day to not assume everyone is homeless. Kind of my way of keeping a chipper attitude for the sake of the kids.
Funny article, it stressed at least 4 times this is different from the normal flights ones they do regularly, otherwise covidiots/flat-earthears/conspiracists will fill forums with their cries. And I'm not sure they wont anyway.
I guess it’s not bad to have 22 deaths after 3, 4, 3. Could have fooled me, but I don’t play a statistician on twitter.
The WHO is not advising stopping all HCQ trials but has only dropped HCQ from the Solidarity Trial, and that many prophylaxis trials using HCQ are ongoing or about to start.

If you do any camping or backpacking there is a great little application of this:

This little stick burner can get a super hot fire going and boil water easily, or grill a burger. With the electricity generated in excess of that needed for the fan you can charge your phone/devices or use its port for an LED lamp .

That it runs on little sticks is super convenient.
No kidding about the schizophrenia. I don’t understand how people can implore the government to do more such as UBI or universal healthcare yet in the same breath complain about not being able to trust the “police state.” I doubt we can have privacy and a strong effective government. A strong government will be one that’s in your life a lot. Whether it’s under the auspices of good intent or not is probably irrelevant by that point.

I noted the levels needed to maximize intestinal calcium absorption because this is the best studied aspect of Vitamin D. Rickets was the main reason Vitamin D was discovered and supplemented.

Vitamin D level blood testing is imprecise - I would not consider any one test of Vitamin D levels to be accurate.

This person's cited paper corresponds with the calcium absorption data that suggests around 8,000 IU D3 is where calcium absorption begins to plateau and more vitamin D leads to minimal additional calcium absorption.

Since I haven't been going outside, I take vitamin D 10,000 IU daily. You are correct in that one shouldn't just take the advice of random internet strangers - I should be more careful in posting. My personal experience with Vitamin D has been extremely positive and so I get excited about sharing what I know - of course I had to work and couldn't actively respond to this thread as much as I would like.
"Nuclear parity is a condition at a given point in time when opposing forces possess offensive and defensive systems approximately equal in overall combat effectiveness"

World with nukes appeared to be more peaceful than without. While nuclear superpowers have parity, conventional war between them is impossible. This is the reason why we we never had WWIII between Soviets/Russia/China and US/NATO.
However, other measures like economical pressure and trade wars, espionage, proxy wars, and now informational war are still ongoing. I would leave as a statement that all these things are "much better" than real World War.
That's the point - they're discovering the limits.

The other way to do this would be to over engineer, have more conservative testing, etc. But Musk has been clear that they've explicitly chosen a strategy of fast iteration, and breaking things instead. And that's one of the primary things that gives them an edge over NASA.
As the Nomad Team Lead I sympathize with your first statement, but I hope our continued efforts will dissuade you from the second.

Linux (and the BSDs) are remarkably stable, festureful, and resilient operating systems. I would hate to give up such a strong foundation. Nomad can crash without affecting your running services. Nomad can be upgraded or reconfigured without affecting your running services. Nomad can be observed, developed, and debugged as a unit often without having to consider the abstractions that sit above or below it. The right number of abstractions is a beautiful thing. Just no more and no less. :)
Not a very useful article.. i cannot read the report as I don't speak the language and the graph shown is so low resolution i can't read it thus there is no evidence presented that i can agree to with as to what is written jn the article.

> lol why do people keep associating this with COVID-19?

Because:

1. The article doesn't mention hydroxychloroquine and

2. Hydroxychloroquine is being touted as a cure to Covid 19, a claim that has its basis in politics, not science. Part of the claim being made is exactly the (wrong) claim you were defending: that hydroxychloroquine is safe--as if safe/unsafe were a binary.

If you go from an article about malaria to an only tangentially-related topic of hydrochloroquine and basically parrot Trump's untrue claim that hydrochloroquine is perfectly safe, you shouldn't be surprised if people assume that you're agreeing with Trump's claim that hydrochloroquine should be used to treat Covid-19.

Understand that claims occur in a context. The CDC's claim that hydrochloroquine is well-tolerated is in the context of treating a very deadly disease (malaria) that it is proven to treat. Your claim that hydrochloroquine is safe occurs in the context of treating a much less deadly disease (Covid 19) which it may actively exacerbate. Maybe you intended your claim in the context of treating malaria with hydrochloroquine, but that wasn't the context you said it in.
You’re right. But the homophobia isn’t in the statistics (which the commenter didn’t provide, anyways). The homophobia was in the comments about “destructive lifestyles” and stating that it was because of rampant sexual partners.

As I stated, you only have to have sex once (and I don’t believe that statement is controversial) to contract HIV.

Please examine your own biases, because if your takeaway from the comment that I was addressing was “what, it’s true that gay guys are more likely to get it” then it would seem that you take the comment to readily describe “gays” writ large, which is also pretty homophobic.
“far less dire” is an understatement. HSV-1 causes only cosmetic effects in the vast majority of cases.
Allowing slavery to continue as a legal form of punishment is an obvious one
Right - so ~25% of excess deaths in April in the United States were not directly caused by COVID-19, but were almost certainly indirectly caused by the virus, either via the 'medical care chilling effect' mentioned above, or through misattribution, or through other mechanisms like the increase in suicide.

This excess death mechanism has the potential to be very severe in very poor countries, where famine is likely to follow this plague. It's really quite sad.
Java runs in a VM rather than an emulator, but, basically yes!
Wyoming and South Dakota never locked down, and had the same infection curve as New York and California, which did? That sounds like a great argument in favor of lockdowns. To a virus, here is a strategy which turns Times Square into the Great Plains. That's amazing.
Yes, that’s always a possibility. I try to check myself for this kind of behavior, and I don’t think that your description is accurate, but of course you never know for certain.

Network effects. Kubernetes is getting into the "no one fired for choosing" category. Whatever it's flaws you can be sure it'll be a round in 10 years (or more sure than other tech). With cloud providers creating flux in their offerings, who knows if the locked-in simpler alternative will be desisted in 10 years, but at least with k8s you can move if they stop supporting it.
I say go for it, junior devs. Stable, mature, scalable relational databases will still be here when you’re tired of recovering corrupt databases and implementing second-rate locking and transactions in application code.
