I recently went through the airflow docs for the first time - agree. But this comment thread has much more helpful than any of the docs!
I try to be reasonable here. If it's something from a business I transacted with in the past or recognize the name, I will unsubscribe. I don't consider it spam. And I don't want to hurt their reputation.

I do keep track of if I already unsubscribed from a related list. Sometimes "unsubscribe from all" is completely ignored. Which really angers me.

If it's a random, clearly bought newsletter list from a related list, it depends on my mood. Likely spam.

Other notorious example: business A founder also founds (unrelated) business B. They just email their entire A client base with zero association to A. Big peeve of mine.

-- Edits (some more ramblings) --

My personal favorite: the "I want to receive marketing email" checkbox that rechecks if you have an unrelated issue with your transaction. Say, invalid CC details.

Still, even with these boxes, I think my standard is just: "I did business with them, I will get at least 1 marketing email. I'm ok with that. I will unsubscribe and not hear from them again." Anything past that is unacceptable.

To be clear: that's not how I think it should be. It's just how businesses, even small, genuine mom and pop shops, have been taught to operate. It's cultural.
It reminds me a lot of tipping in the US. I'm vehemently anti-tipping "culture" because a standard 20% is the opposite of rewarding for performance. But I still tip at a baseline of 18%+.

It's too ingrained. And I'm not going to protest by not tipping and try to change it.

I think we've come too far unless changed by law or restaurant management. Same goes for marketing emails.
I love that I can just read this handwrting, I usually can't even read my own...

An addition to that: Over a decade ago (so unfortunately I have no reference, this just stuck with me for how against common sense it was) I remember reading that being overweight but not obese correlated with good health better than being "normal" weight did. Their theory was that if being sick made it so you were less hungry, you could still get an energy boost by using up fat reserves and be able to fight off illness faster.

This sounds like a much more specific and more testable version of that theory.
As i said from the very beginning - there is more than one way to do it. I'm not trying to convince you. Do whatever you're comfortable with.
Eh? Do you have any examples? This is nothing new, Twitter has been applying this standard to tweets for a very long time (it's part of their ToS!). It usually results in deleting your tweet or an outright ban. The only difference here is that they've kept the tweet up since they deem it to be in the public's interest.
No I am not. Due the current circumstances, the universities are not able to provide the facilities and the networking capabilities to the students so they should not be required to pay the full amount.

Also, as the students are going to be home anyway, the differences between universities shrink. If the education is somewhat similar in a university A and university B, but university A is five times more expensive during the normal times, why should the students of university A pay five times as much as the students at the university B. They have lost the reason why they pay so much for it.
Doctors advising people to avoid sun exposure? Is that strawman based on anything?

I hope you don't mean the advice to use sunscreen when you're going to be outside so long you'd get sunburn without it.
"Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts"

I think Trump's saying that if things get out of control, law enforcement will start shooting. If I understand your post correctly, this would be lawful...
1. Airflow uses the "default" connectors for destination databases, for example psycopg2 for Postgres. You can easily write your own hooks using whatever connector you fancy
2. It depends on your set up. I move most of the heavy lifting to SQL or Spark, so it is as performance as Informatica/SSIS
3. I have written multi threaded ETL processes using the PythonOperator. That basically starts off any Python script you want, allowing you the full flexibility of Python.
In the late 80's and early 90's real time was a feature of simulations. It's what made them simulations. And as dull as flying a WWII airplane out and back sounds...Microprose's Silent Service let you operate a submarine across the Pacific in real time.

Of course, you could also speed time up if you wanted. But a "base frequency" of real time means the game play is not centered around "story mode." In simulation it means the player experiences the simulation at the same pace real world events might unfold.

The quintessential game of the period might be Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Which is only a game in the sense that the consequences of a bad day don't cost very much.
They have 24 hours to articulate that or let you go.
It isn't legal. There will be a civil suit, and the city will likely settle for a dollar amount covered by their insurance.

Agreed on murder. It is hard not to report that. I am basically wondering if there is a treshold at which people simply do not report stuff to police simply, because it is largely pointless, which then results in a statistical drop.
Edge Chromium and Firefox (both ARM native) is better in both speed and RAM usage, you can grab normal chrome extensions in edge Chromium too so there's literally no loss.
I never implied all remote engineers would be adept at remote work, but I'd easily argue that engineers, as a group, would be more adept at remote work than most other professions, including a group of college students.
I really question the effectiveness of this. Here is some anecdotal evidence of billboard advertising: We took out a single test billboard downtown Toronto at a very high traffic intersection for a privacy oriented service. The billboard cost $40,000 CAD and was up for 3 months. The billboard had a domain name printed on it (along with some custom art) which only appeared on that 1 billboard. In the 3 months the domain had less than 100 visitors. For $40,0000.

DDG probably spent many millions of dollars on this campaign, giver the amount of billboards in different countries. Even if their performance is 10x of our test billboard, it's not worth it, by a long shot. The only people that will notice these are DDG users and feel good about it, but it likely does nothing for attracting new users.
I do have a contract with many pages of legal details covering definitions and contingencies, but not what I'm really interested in which is, what do I get at valuation $X.

I suppose it depends on the eye of the beholder. Humans aren't disposable.
I am hoping that WSL/WSL2 makes Windows so attractive for developers, that Apple feels the pressure to either implement Linux syscall emulation or very lightweight VMs like WSL2.

Did my masters on Vitamin D - It is very difficult to extract CLINICALLY RELEVANT information from retrospective epidemiological studies.

However, there a a few things that are clear:

1. Calcium absorption from the intestine increases with vitamin D supplementation dose up to around 8-10,000 IU D3 daily.

2. 15 minutes of full body exposure in noon sun is equivalent to a dose of ~20,000 IU D3

3. There are few cases of vitamin D overdose in the literature - doses in the 1,000,000 IU+ range within days is generally where symptoms are noted - this excludes people with kidney disorders.

Personally, I take 10k IU D3 a day. The D3 is important because D2 has 1/2 to 1/3 the effect per dose in raising calcium absorption levels.

I would recommend this level of supplementation to anyone who doesn’t have a kidney disorder.
I had anxiety attacks and back pain for years. Maybe it’s just a weird and strong placebo effect, but after starting to take vitamin D these things were simply gone.
So what if I say that your restaurant serves old chicken and gives food poisoning? What if too many users each take a tiny stab, repeating the false empirical claim they heard?

I guess this is just a mystifying perspective to me. Car theft is impossible to entirely eradicate, I try to avoid showing valuables too, but I'd never live in an area where I expected my car to be broken into unless I had no other options. Maybe it's fine if other people are honestly okay with it?
First we make the Spring Boot with the common package yes? Ok. Please reply immediately.
For the mailing list owner, that's a risk that comes with sending out spam. If I have no prior relationship with a company, then I have no reason not to mark an email as spam. If I have a prior relationship with a company, but they are sending out unrequested emails, then I should mark it as spam. For example, if an email address is provided for package delivery updates, but is then used for unrequested periodic advertisements, that is spam.
Tell that to all of my former employers...
I think it's important to note that Vitamin D is a hormone. And the body produces it as well.
This is super interesting. Thanks for the share! :)
In UK the Open University is highly valued, and only (?) offers remote learning (and has for decades).

Indeed it's recommended to put BA(Open), or whatever, by the uni as it's considered by some more valuable than an attendance based degree. This mirrors the writing of Oxon., for example, for an Oxford degree.

It's surely about perception of employers.
You seem to suggest "broken window policing" has to come with abuse of power. But it is in fact the abuse of power that breeds mistrust.

It might work if we had a benevolent AI that could hand out tickets for minor offenses without giving any humans access to the surveillance network necessary to implement such a policy. In the real world we have humans self selecting for a job that requires violence, and then being kept in check by a global fraternity, that values protecting each other regardless of the circumstance.
It’s different, not necessarily better.
Fun fact: at least in the US, the CAN-SPAM law is actually pretty specific about how unsubscribe pages work. If it requires more than typing your email address and clicking a button then it is probably not compliant.

Let’s entertain the possibility that Twitter is doing this to influence the election.

So what?

There’s no law prohibiting these types of businesses from supporting a political candidate. They could plaster a huge “Vote For X” banner at the top of every person’s profile. Don’t like it? Don’t use it.

It’s not like Twitter is tax-exempt which would prohibit it from endorsing candidates like Churches.

A Black reporter is more likely to be filming people similar to himself peacefully protesting, rather than focusing on the damages caused by agents provocateurs (there is video of the windows of Autozone being smashed by a dude who is definitely not a protestor).

Heck at this point the police probably have facial recognition cameras that identify a reporter and assign them a score based on how friendly their past coverage has been.

That's useful, but I think the person you were replying to doesn't just use the host machine as a remote file system but also as a build host and to have a single workspace with all its settings available from any machine.

I recently set this up as well using code-server [1], which works brilliantly. I have a VM running on a powerful hypervisor host, which has all the source code, the workspace configuration with all my customisations, build tasks, etc. Compilation is fully on the host side, which is a 12-core with 32GB memory, way beyond any of the computers I use as clients, and all I need to access it is an SSH connection to it. Code-server has a progressive web app mode that makes it pretty much indistinguishable from running a local installation. First time I have had to acknowledge it wasn't such a bad idea to implement VSCode as an Electron app to be honest.

It would scale linearly right? Double the amount of computing thrown at it, you'd half the time on average. Or am I mistaken?

Online (Scaleway) C14 Classic storage service terminating in November 2020
Scaleway is now sending out these emails to C14 customers:

>Dear customer,

>Since 2016, you have benefited from our Scaleway Dedibox C14 Classic archiving solution. This solution, which has demonstrated its reliability, is no longer in line with our desire to provide you with increasingly flexible solutions matching market standards. We therefore inform you that this service is going into an end-of-life process, and will be deleted on November 26, 2020 (more information below).

>Data has become the most valuable and strategic asset of companies. This is why we have completely redesigned our C14 Classic product to adapt it to today's usages. We therefore launched C14 Cold Storage via Scaleway Elements, the new 100% cloud version of C14 at the beginning of the year.

>With C14 Cold Storage, we provide a sovereign, cost-effective, ultra-secure, and standards-compliant cloud archiving solution.

>To thank you for your trust, you will not have to pay:

>- Your C14 Classic archiving and data transfer fees.

>- The amount of your C14 Cold Storage invoice if you migrate your C14 Classic data to C14 Cold Storage in June 2020! To take advantage of this offer, you have until Tuesday 30th June 2020 included to send us your Scaleway Dedibox and Scaleway Elements IDs via this form.

>Finally, to help you organize your data migration as well as you can, the end-of-life process will be done in two steps:

>- June 26, 2020: You will no longer be able to archive new data from C14 Classic. But you will still have the possibility to recover your existing data.

>- November 26, 2020: termination and deletion of the C14 Classic service.

There's also a link to a migration guide https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/data-migration-c14-classic/ and a lot of marketing speak about the new service.
They are finally stepping up and enforcing their ToS. I can see this response as a followup to the EIO signed yesterday as an example of what they might have to do if the interpretation of existing law is changed and platforms become liable for content they host. Like, that would induce harsher restrictions on posting and modding content though it would be complicated if that also made twitter a publisher. Their model may no longer be viable at that point as they could be sued for leaving up violent or misleading content AND sued as a publisher for what they take down.

It's within their rights to do take these actions, fact checks and hiding/deleting tweets, to protect their ecosystem. If it is questionably legal because it may influence the election, then I haven't seen the law it is breaking. I see a better argument for showing Twitter promoting Trump's feed to drive clicks as an in kind donation which could quickly break legal campaign donation limits.

Twitter has taken a stand here and I do think they should apply their policies evenly. Will they effectively apply this to everything or even have the capacity built out now to do so? I doubt it. They are a business who needs user engagement to drive profit from ads. If they constrain their most clicked tweets it could lower their revenue even if initially those tweets get attention for being removed.
1. Read a lot. Share the good posts with fellow people in the community. I've curated some of the interesting and good articles I've read for first half of May. Share with you all, do check them out!

Correct. And a lot of this violence is a direct result of institutional systemic violence. Violence breeds violence in other words. This is terrible for the economy in general, but capitalists found a way to exploit violence and fear: the weapon industry thrives on violence and fear.
Anecdotal of course, but I was discussing this with someone who told me their cousin, despite being bipolar (although currently treated) and a raging racist online was being recruited by local police offices.
Consider how one goes about changing a law. Generally it starts with citizens making a fuss to inform their elected representatives that they think the existing laws need to be changed.

Recently, in Minnesota, hundreds of people gathered in a protest on precisely this topic. They gathered to say (for their elected representatives and everyone else to hear) that they wanted a change to the laws and the system that permits police officers to kill people by kneeling on their neck when attempting to arrest them.

It was during this very protest that the CNN reporters were arrested.

So, as you can see, people are trying to solve that problem. They have been protesting loudly about it for the past decade (much longer, in truth, but there has been a renewed focus by the media within the past decade). And so far... well, you tell me whether you think it's working.
No I didn't. This is if you WANT TO use a particular repo. Read the docs and you'll understand that.

Correct. Many of these people will not qualify for unemployment benefits because they willfully quit their other job and because of the US system are at serious risk of destitution and homelessness unless they have friends or family that will support them during this time.
Sounds to me like police are better at stopping serious crimes when they don't spend time on frivolous harassment of citizens.

It obviously makes sense for companies to let people work from home right now, but it's hard to imagine people won't be expected to return when everything's over in most cases.

This is something that admittedly, I haven't communicated well.

It's a personal project that I built because I didn't want to keep paying for a service to process forms for my static websites (though as mentioned by someone in one of the threads above I still have some forms to convert)

Maybe I'll record a video explaining that and put it on the front page
Add reporting while black to suspicious activities.
Fun fact: Klein got actually interested in that room because he overheard a janitor that was complaining that he is not allowed to clean that room and that makes him feel he's not doing 100% his job. The initial response from some higher ups was that the room will become a new janitor closet but months went by and then these reinforce bars were installed overnight. That persuaded Klein to continue his research.

PS. The room still exists and continue to serve its purpose.
GP may have had a "heart on the edge"; just because your heart is currently beating correctly doesn't mean that it may not be just a wee bit of disruption away from beating incorrectly. Or you could have a lot of safety margin. I don't know whether medical tests could distinguish the two but just in day-to-day life there's very little way for you to tell the difference. (I wish I could; it would help me a lot.)

It is completely possible for "more of a good thing" to have a negative impact on you because it pushes something out of balance beyond what homeostatis can maintain. In principle the best solution is to go get more of what you need to balance it, but that can be easier said than done. Between the things that science still just plain doesn't know and the chaff of all kinds of garbage information about nutrition on the internet it can be very hard to figure out what you need.
For games specifically designed with VR in mind? Yes, the experience is dramatically different. For many people, the suspension of disbelief is there, and you absolutely feel present in the space.

Good VR titles force you to move many more muscle groups than keyboard/mouse or controller games. Your brain stays much more engaged when you have to, e.g., duck out of the way of an incoming projectile.

For games where VR is tacked on, or not deliberately handled, it can be a vomit fest. Playing Half Life 2, for instance, is possible in VR but it's very unpleasant. Playing Half Life Alyx, which was built from the ground up to be a VR experience, is incredible.
I only want one AR app and no ones made it yet as far as I know.

I used to be a contract worker in tech. If you'd like to learn more about why I feel that way, and why those feelings come up for me when reading the comment I replied to, then I would normally encourage asking. You chose the "this is conversational warfare" approach instead, so there isn't anything I can usefully say about that topic in reply.
It's nothing new. Politics is a team based sport. My brother calls Obama "King Obama" but is still a huge fan of Trump. I've discussed some of this stuff with him: in his eyes, Obama did stuff he shouldn't have, so Trump can do stuff he shouldn't.
Sure that's a good idea if the other party will agree to it. It's not industry standard so you may have trouble negotiating that in.
