That comment speaks to the option of making access to the site conditional on agreeing to the cookies.

That’s not relevant to the parent’s alternative —- as I understood it —- of unconditionally blocking European users entirely.
Yeah, I feel you.

To be honest I figure it's going to just be obvious as time goes on. When the pubs re-open in the UK I'm just going to assume that anyone there doesn't care about this nonsense, otherwise they'd barricade themselves inside.

I guess with a land value tax you can be sure the land is being used economically efficiently. As it is, the land is being used inefficiently. So I suppose it’s a market, just not an efficient one.
This is awesome. Question: everything I've read[0] about WebDAV indicates tons of compatibility problems between implementations, even those built into operating systems. I wonder what the plan is to deal with that?

Also, are there any off-the-shelf WebDAV client libraries for browsers?

Is this evidence that he's a cop or just your imagination?
I would definitely second that. I don’t have a great grasp on why I shouldn’t do this myself. Somewhere (it doesn’t have to be on the landing page), I’d like to hear about why I shouldn’t do this myself.
That was true until 737 MAX, which statistically must have been one of the most dangerous planes (or jets at least) in history. Very few miles and 2 complete hull loss incidents very close together. These bugs really do matter. You can have quite a lot of minor issues and get away with it, but when you hit a serious failure like the MAX had, even if only triggered 1 in 10,000 flights ends up with an awful lot of casualties.

It seems like even scientists struggle to replicate experiments.
It is a government position. It requires training and interactions which may cause death. If a person were trained to restrain a person in a manner which has a high likelihood to cause death and not informed of the risks, should the incorrectly trained person really be held liable for the person's death?
How about sending the bill for the civil suits from all these unlawful killings to the policemen's union instead of the city? How about cops who keep getting involved in officer involved shootings get their house taken to pay judgements?
One reason is South Korea had to deal with SARS previously and were better prepared.
Outdated. We were further ahead in the abstraction ladder with PaaS, and honestly most apps could run perfectly fine in Beanstalk/App Engine/Cloud Foundry/Heroku.
But then the devs demand Jenkins, Artifactory and MongoDB, and instead of using cloud-provider alternatives you're back to defining VPCs and autoscaling groups.
Yeah I guess for smaller projects and the addition of using Docker Compose files, Swarm would be worth it.

If K8s supported compose scripts out of the box (not Kompose) that'd basically make Swarm unnecessary (at least for me)
Same father, same face: Deep learning reveals selection for signaling kinship
In case of TP, I'd lean strongly towards the problem being caused by the supply chain being bifurcated between consumer and business markets. From what I anecdotally hear, there's plenty of TP available for cheap in the US, just all of it is in absurdly-sized rolls you would struggle to fit in your bathroom.

I can compare that to Poland, where we didn't really have much of a TP shortage. Here, from my observation, most businesses buy the same type/size of TP as regular consumers do, so I suspect our market isn't as strongly bifurcated, and so there was no problem shifting supply from businesses to the stores.

Violence is often normalized so long as those who are perpetuating it are politically aligned. For example, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and his government genocided millions of Greeks and Armenians. Most nationalistic Turks found nothing wrong with that. In fact, Hitler admired Ataturk a lot, and used his actions as a template for his own programs.

"The minority problem in Anatolia was solved in a very simple fashion... “Only through the annihilation of the Greek and the Armenian tribes in Anatolia was the creation of a Turkish national state and the formation of an unflawed Turkish body of society within one state possible.”

Multiethnic nations don’t tend to last very long.
Then prove it.

Yes, the virus was first detected by China, in the Wuhan province, in December, because they had a health surveillance system in place to report strange pneumonia cases.

But new evidence are being revealed that the virus may have originated elsewhere.

France confirmed they had the virus in November, but didn’t know about it, and brushed it off as the flu.

The United States, had strange pneumonia deaths in mid to late 2019, but no one investigated it.

It appears your first mode, is to attack anyone that doesn’t agree with your narrative or view of the world.

Edit: Responding to Nico below.

Agreed. Find the trail.

The interesting thing is, why didn’t this virus also show up in Africa, in large amounts?

There must be a lot of business people that travel between China and Africa. So if it originated in China, then I would think that Africa would have been hit early on, as well. But that didn’t happen.

I just want to comment that the author for this one is a fantastic writer. At each section I was wondering, "wait, why wouldn't you..." and it was consistently literally the next section.

Very impressive ability to predict a reader's interpretation of what they're saying.

But back to the article -- totally makes sense to me, as a materials scientist with a smidge of chemical engineering, for places that already use a wood stove for heating. I can't really imagine people redesigning gas stoves and obviously electric stoves are a non-starter. Though a gas boiler for central HVAC could probably generate a little bit.

Getting say 100W out of a boiler in your basement seems like a pretty minor increase, but I suppose it does add up over time since themoelectric modules are practically indestructible as long as you don't exceed the temperature limits. I liked the idea of retrofitting places that already use wood stoves to also heat water a lot though. A replacement for an existing wood heating system makes a lot more sense if you're off the grid already (which in my observation is often true even for US homes with wood heating).

But I love the idea of a subsidized (or unsubsidized if it's that easy) retrofit if it brings people enough power to charge their phone and some lights and such to get access to communication services.
What a lot of people are realizing now is that these democratized news sources are both sometimes a lot less credible than the corporate media, and sometimes a lot more credible than the corporate media.

When you can have people gather clips of text/video to show a corporate media entity contradicting itself, or hiding relevant facts when reporting on a situation, etc. in real-time, it becomes it becomes clear that it is not merely a bias, but in many cases an agenda which drives them (an agenda which may be political, or may merely be the pursuit of ratings and scarce advertising dollars).

Was the cane broken intentionally or unintentionally?
Because developers are lazy.

I dont want do memory management-> gc

I dont want to do packaging -> Docker

I dont want to do autoscaling -> Kubernetes
That is autoscaling within the cluster.... not the cluster itself.

Although, managed kubernetes clusters let you auto-scale the cluster itself, so i think the GP is wrong.
Airports have landing procedures, essentially a list of waypoints and altitudes. A landing aircraft has to fly that route down to the runway.

Each list has Missed Approach Point, at which the list branches into two: landing or abort.

If you are not ready to land at that point (too fast, can't see runway, previous aircraft still on the runway, etc), then you fly the abort part. Usually it tells to climb to a certain safe altitude and turn towards a waiting area for another landing attempt.

These procedures can be flown manually, or activated for autopilot to fly. A bug made the autopilot turn in opposite direction to what's in the abort section.

Here's a landing procedure for Helena regional airport: https://flightaware.com/resources/airport/HLN/IAP/ILS+OR+LOC...

The narrowing beam is instrument landing system that guides you towards the runway. If you reach 4580 feet minimum altitude during approach, but can't see the runway, you must fly the abort procedure, which is drawn with dashed lines: climb immediately to 4700 feet on current heading, keep climbing to 9000 while turning to heading 021, then proceed north at 9000 on 336 degree radial from Helena radio beacon, and upon reaching waypoint WOKEN circle until further instructions.

This bug could cause the aircraft turn southwest (towards mountains) instead of northeast (valley).

At Helena, the bug would not reveal itself because the right turn is 114 degrees. If the procedure required to turn more than 180 degrees right, for example, 200 or so degrees right towards SWEDD, the aircraft would make a left (shortest) turn instead. Green should be flown, red would be flown: https://i.imgur.com/ojShQa2.png
I'm using Kubernetes extensively in my day to day work and once you get it up and running and learn the different abstraction, it becomes a single API to manage your containers, storage and network ingress needs. Making it easy to take a container and getting it up and running in the cloud with an IP address and a DNS configured in a couple API calls (or defined as YAMLs).

That being said, I will also be the first one to recognize that PLENTY of workloads are not made to run on Kubernetes. Sometimes it is way more efficient to spawn an EC2/GCE instance and run a single docker container on it. It really depends on your use-case.

If I had to run a relatively simple app in prod I would never use Kubernetes to start with. Kubernetes starts to pay itself off once you have a critical mass of services on it.
Ok, but that makes it incompatible for comparison with the other animals killing humans. In some cases maybe (sharks, wolves, lions, crocodiles) the animal could be actively wanting the human to die, but in others (freshwater snails, tapeworms, mosquitoes), that's probably not the case.
You are correct. It's federally mandated as to the date, but it's up to the states to administer the elections. And if POTUS were to "cancel" it - well it would get a good deal messier than I've suggested, and really wanted to avoid.

Let's say a few states agree to the cancellation? For POTUS and VPOTUS, they need 270 Electoral College votes to win. If states drop out, it's decently likely no one gets to 270. That means the House chooses the president, the Senate chooses the VP. In the House, each state gets one vote. I repeat, one. In the Senate each senator gets a vote. This has happened before and it can take a while. It could possibly take weeks. Also, the Congress that decides this is the new one, not the old one. So some election needs to happen because House terms, every single seat, expires on January 3. Do they have quorum? Did enough states elect House members to have a sitting Congress? shrug

Most states are likely to still be red states in the 2020 Congress, so if the decision goes to the House, Trump will probably get another term. Again, each state just gets one vote.
I have mostly used Kubernetes for Node.js apps and find it very useful for the following reasons:

- Automatic scaling of pods and cluster VMs to meet demand.

- Flexible automated process monitoring via liveness/readiness probes.

- Simple log streaming across horizontally scaled pods running the same app/serving the same function using stern.

- Easy and low cost metrics aggregation with Prometheus and Grafana.

- Injecting secrets into services.

I'd imagine there are other things can offer the same, but I find it convenient to have them all in the same place.
I don't agree with this. Freezing of funding, investigating, etc. is fine, we should. But this is like the withdrawing of ambassadors. Not quite breaking off diplomatic relations but we really should want more cooperation with US and UN officials, not less.
Flutter vs. Qt QML for cross-platform app development
It is uneasy to read this number and I don't get the full picture here.

1. What is the distribution of this number across geographical regions? Is it uniformly spread across all regions? Are some regions outliers?

2. The distribution of this number over time of the year in every geographic region is perhaps an interesting thing to look at for short-term solutions.

"A statistical error in the estimation of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D was recently discovered; in a correct analysis of the data used by the Institute of Medicine, it was found that 8895 IU/d was needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L. Another study confirmed that 6201 IU/d was needed to achieve 75 nmol/L and 9122 IU/d was needed to reach 100 nmol/L. The largest meta-analysis ever conducted of studies published between 1966 and 2013 showed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <75 nmol/L may be too low for safety and associated with higher all-cause mortality, demolishing the previously presumed U-shape curve of mortality associated with vitamin D levels. Since all-disease mortality is reduced to 1.0 with serum vitamin D levels ≥100 nmol/L, we call public health authorities to consider designating as the RDA at least three-fourths of the levels proposed by the Endocrine Society Expert Committee as safe upper tolerable daily intake doses. This could lead to a recommendation of 1000 IU for children <1 year on enriched formula and 1500 IU for breastfed children older than 6 months, 3000 IU for children >1 year of age, and around 8000 IU for young adults and thereafter. Actions are urgently needed to protect the global population from vitamin D deficiency."

Yeah, I was thinking this may be a good business post-COVID. Let people compose their "survival kits" and subscribe to them; kind of like insurance, but instead of a payout, you'd get guaranteed delivery of the items you listed (or equivalents). Subscription fees would pay for storage, and some of the costs could be recouped by selling off items nearing expiry.
The rule of law must be preserved when it comes to property damage, but it must also be preserved when it comes to murdering black men.

In addition, saying that people are rioting because of only one isolated incident is not true and reductionist. There is a history of law enforcement treating black people's lives as unimportant.
Can someone explain what's so odd or fraudulent about it?

1. Govt spending on ads increased in February as the article says. But isn't it expected given that govt sources have to reach wider audience in times of crisis and hence has to increase its spending doing that. We can of course challenge the specific amount spent and whether its justified but there was no analysis done on that aspect of it. The article merely reports the increase in spending.

2. The article hints that there is an odd correlation of ads by the govt being of "positive response" towards the crisis. Althought that is debatable whether it is indeed true or not, assuming that it is true, I am not sure whether the response where the govt makes ads that say "we are failing each day and have no idea how to respond to this crisis" are a better alternative. These days the media stories are often one sided, either positive or negative so a neutral ground of emotion is hard to see. So I am thinking how else this should have been done.

3. Is it propaganda? Yes. Is it a lie? That would mean the media outlets are lying and we should stop reading them. Is it half of the information? Probably. That's why we have to rely on multiple news sources to get the complete picture. The question is what is the public going to do with this information?
We had (have) discovery, auto-scaling and redundancy in PaaS. Most apps could run just fine in Cloud Foundry/App Engine/Beanstalk/Heroku. But the devs insist on MongoDB & Jenkins instead of using the cloud-provider solution and now you're back to defining VPCs, scaling policies, storage and whatnot.

Do you have a recommended tutorial for engineer with backend background to setup a simple k8 infra in ec2?
Well, no- not only do the credit and debit (logical) financial transactions have to be committed in the same (physical) database transaction, but more importantly, the amounts have to balance. A SQL database doesn't have any opinion on those kinds of semantics.

You can of course- and people do all the time- encode those kinds of "business rules" into application code, or into database code like triggers, but:

1) the abstraction level you are operating at in the double entry domain is around balanced accounts. Having a "ledger database" that provides that kind of abstraction to your application so that you are not solving for balancing transactions all over the place in application code is very important. Important for the same reason that using a SQL database saves you from having to worry about two phase commit and transaction logs and so forth in your application code when saving sensitive data. The guarantees a SQL database offers are lower level than what one needs in a ledger database.

2) to your point of "at scale"- at scale a double entry system often accepts some kinds of unbalanced transactions, and then has workflows to support various kinds of reconciliation. A lot of this reconciliation is time based- every bank to this day at least does reconciliation at the end of each business day with "close of business" batch processing jobs. Some can also do it intraday. At scale means a lot of additional actual "business rule" complexity.

Hope that helps?

'Data' isn't the plural of 'anecdote.' What are the actual statistics? Do we even have access to statistics that haven't been cherry-picked by the Heritage Foundation, the DNC, or another interested party?

One good aspect of the vote-by-mail system we use here in WA is that the voter retains a code they can use to verify that their ballot has been counted. There is an auditable paper trail at every step that's accessible to all parties - the voter, the election officials, and the candidate. That's more than you get with many in-person voting systems, especially those involving closed-source machines made by companies with questionable ethics and engineering practices.

Yes, I'm sure it's possible to build a vote-by-mail system that is more prone to corruption than in-person voting. But the point is, it's not necessary.
Uh, u/ahelwer was talking about JWT, not Kerberos.

Kerberos doesn't scale to the Internet as it stands, but used properly it's secure. The problem that u/ahelwer says JWT... Kerberos also has when used in HTTP -- as opposed to other uses of Kerberos that don't have this problem. That problem is that they are used as "bearer tokens" without any "channel binding", so if you use them over HTTP without TLS, you lose to any eavesdroppers, and if you use them over HTTPS using the WebPKI and some CA is being (ab)used to MITM you, then you lose. This isn't specific to JWT (or Kerberos) but generic to all small-b bearer token schemes.

This was likely just as much about credit card fees as it is about data.

Stripe's amazing service also comes at a substantial premium. For a high-volume thin-margin company like Lyft where every penny counts, per transaction fees at 2.9%+ are killers. Furthermore, large companies prefer to own the raw card data themselves as the interchange rates for card not present debit cards is different than card not present credit cards. Once you hit a certain amount of scale this .15% difference is substantial.
