We shut down fairly hard and fairly early in Denmark. Our neighbour Sweden didn’t shut down at all. Their economy suffered roughly the same as ours, but the number of deaths per 100,000 population is 43.9 and ours is 10.

We’re pretty much reopening everything that isn’t big concentrated gatherings or night-clubs. Even things like Zoos are opening. Our border to Germany and Norway is also semi-open now, but remains closed toward Sweden for obvious reasons.
Even better is if the recipient is the one making the last mile trek on that bike. The logistics of delivering to a hub vs to a hub then also your individual door for that one box of post it notes are so much better for the environment.

>And if you're in a position that requires you show up for work at a certain time or lose your job

You can vote on your way home or wake up early.

>and your commute requires 90 minutes of bus rides, and your polling place is not on your bus route, how do you go to your polling place?

Not sure about all states but California has been allowing people to vote in different polling places then their own.

If this becomes widespread it would eliminate this part of the issue.

>And should there be some issue with your registration, and you need to go all the way to the county courthouse to file a provisional ballot...

This would also be an issue with mail in ballots. Your vote would either not count or you would have to go in.

>There are plenty of people for whom actually making it to a polling place can be a challenge; just because it's easy for you, who is presumably a salaried worker commuting by car to a workplace that doesn't mind you showing up ±several minutes from regular working hours doesn't mean it's easy for large portions of the population.

You can go after work as well. Many polling places are open until 8 or 9.

In California they have the polling places open for multiple days prior to the election as well. I am not sure how wide spread that is outside of California.

Just to be clear I am in favor of making voting day a holiday. Some people still need to work (doctors, grocery stores, police, etc) but they could be given a few hours of paid vacation to vote. I think this is a better solution than mail in ballots.

I think the lesson we'll learn is we should have locked down earlier, harder, and longer so we can start a full recovery faster.

Even though bars and restaurants are open, myself and every person I know is acting as if a lockdown is still in place. ( I know there are some people who are but there are lots of people who aren't)
This isn't a debate. Many states have had mail in ballots for decades and some use them exclusively. This is established practice and we know that suspected fraud cases occur extremely rarely. Just because our idiot president and his even dumber followers think something stupid is an issue doesn't make it so.
In many countries, passport applications are conducted remotely, either by post or online. Passport offices are few and far between, and you would only use them if you needed one the same day, and would pay a large premium do so.

No one can see what you're doing inside your hotel room, but they know when you enter and exit, who you're with, and they can hear you if you make noise. They can track what you watch on TV, and when you're on the Internet. Housekeeping goes in every day and sees all your stuff, and rearranges some of it.

So they can't literally see you every moment, but they have a lot of visibility into what you're up to.

But yet Norway's prime minister thinks they overreacted with their lockdown:

>Leaders in some European countries have suggested enforcing tough lockdown measures early in the COVID-19 outbreak may not have been entirely necessary.

>Norway’s prime minister Erna Solberg said during a television interview last week with state broadcaster NRK that its approach had been over cautious.

>“I probably took many of the decisions out of fear. Worst case scenarios became controlling,” Ms Solberg explained.

>She assured viewers that strict restrictions were imposed based on the international state of the disease at the time, but said that on reflection perhaps they were misguided.

Horribly incorrect. Please get the facts. I expect better from HN.
We shut down beaches and parks because we didn't know at the time the pattern of spreading. We had theories but we didn't have solid emperical evidence yet about how covid spread.

Also the difference between light and hard shutdowns isn't as much as you'd think. Especially when most people's behavior changes despite whether there is a lockdown or not.

1) Used mutt/getmail/python script ( password is correct verified it )

2) Even changed password and still same issue

3) I also tried to enable less secure apps to access email option in google settings. But keep getting the Authentication error. Can someone please point me to a good note on how to get Authentication error sorted ( maybe more to take care of )

Proper countries put a testing-and-quarantine regime in place and have paid sick leave. Not the US, unfortunately.

Well, now there's the blowback.
Indeed the difficulty of representing circles and pieces of circles as lines and pieces of lines sounds like a case of "Doctor it hurts when I hit my thumb with this hammer!"

However much more complicated the math and logic might be dealing in the actual geometry of circles and patches of spheres, instead of lines and triangles within an arbitrarily bordered x,y grid, It's got to be simply the only way to go?

It sounds like "grappling with the difficulty of using 3.0 in place of pi for decades".

Of course I do realize that other smart people must have had this same thought, and that there must be some real reason this is actually a problem. But I do not get any sense of what that real problem might be from this article. Everything described here sounds totally avoidable.

I've been teaching myself J and dabbled in a few other APL-family languages before that (Klong and Dyalog's APL mostly). I don't have any specific goal in mind and have been doing it for fun more than anything -- I recently tried writing a minimal ray tracer[0] for example.

I've been surprised at how much I liked writing it. J can be derided for being a "puzzle language"[1], which isn't entirely unfair, but I've found the paradigm of array programming carries over into more widely used languages and libraries ("Iverson ghost"[2]).

I wouldn't bother learning to put it on a resume, I would try it out for fun.

Gas tax doesn't stop car dependence. In LA one gas station might be two dollars more a gallon than another one 5 blocks down the road (not due to tax, I'm really not sure why this happens), and both are packed with customers during rush hour. If you are well off enough where you can afford to pay >$5 a gallon without thinking about it, no reasonable tax is going to change your behavior. These people sitting in traffic 5 days a week in these black Mercedes luxury-safari-imperialist SUVs wouldn't care if gas was $15 a gallon.
That is genuinely genius. It's just a pity it didn't occur to anyone back in the day.

I don't know if it's the same for US passport photos, but US visa photos need to be a larger square whereas most European photo requirements have a smaller portrait aspect ratio.

The photo is no different, it's just that there's prescribed size in imperial units for US visa photos. At one point I went to a photo shop to get US visa photos since I knew a photo booth wouldn't do the right thing, but they printed out Euro style photos by mistake, and I had to ask them to do US ones instead, so I got both sets of photos. Exactly the same zoom, exactly the same photo, just the Euro style was cropped more.

Edit: I looked them up:

https://www.gov.uk/photos-for-passports/photo-requirements - 35mm wide by 45mm tall.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-app... - 2 inches square.
I don't see how whistleblower identity matters as long as the information and the validity of it is vetted by the SEC. The only use for that information I can think of would be to retaliate, which would go against the whole principle of having a whistleblower program in the first place.

> Whistleblowers may be eligible for an award when they voluntarily provide the SEC with original, timely, and credible information that leads to a successful enforcement action. Whistleblower awards can range from 10 percent to 30 percent of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million.

It looks like they not only vet the information, but also provide awards based on the results of successful enforcement. Not only that, but also

> All payments are made out of an investor protection fund established by Congress that is financed entirely through monetary sanctions paid to the SEC by securities law violators. No money has been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblower awards.

The funds come from successful enforcement and harmed parties aren't paying for it (neither are the taxpayers, given that it's essentially a "finder's fee" on criminally-acquired funds).

As for the whistleblowed-on company, I can definitely see a case to expose that information so that we can know who the rotten ones really are.

"inciting lawlessness"

Do we live in separate universes? It is the media on the Left that is inciting violence by justifying and even glorifying violent riots. The federal government has done the opposite of invite lawlessness both now and in the past.

As we are now beginning to realize, the entire narrative of "rampant police brutality and killing of minorities" is simply a lie. Not backed up by the data.

Black communities need the police now more than ever. In Chicago over memorial day weekend over 50 people were shot. 11 killed. A 5 year old girl was shot! Where are the protests? Where is the rioting and the sanctimonious yapping from celebrities and companies?

There is none, because it's not politically advantageous for certain factions to address the real problems in the black community. Shameful and sickening.

I once needed a new ID card as I lost my old one and the passport wasn't valid anymore. I also moved to a new city just before.

In order to get a new ID card, usually you hand in your old one, all I needed was a copy of my birth certificate and the registration in tje new city. The latter was easy, as in Germany registration and passports / IDs are done by the same office. The latter one was 10 Euro in stamps, 3 days later I had the copy in my postbox. Out of experience, your name on the box is enough.

So, theoretically you could get a new ID, with your picture and prints, but a different name, by ordering a birth certificate and have it mailed to you. No idea what kind of checks where built in in the background, but I hadn't the impression there were a lot. Germany, like 8 years ago.

Wouldn't work on scale, so. And way to risky for a one-off.
I'm very curious to know as a side point -- what kind of communications path goes to the ISS? Or for example, when SpaceX's rockets live stream the video during launch? The video quality on those broadcasts is really good. The diagram in that article is only a cartoon representation, I'd love to know actually how the signal gets carried.

Do they purely use ground-station-direct-to-orbit path, or is there some satellite-to-satellite "routing" of the transmission? Do they use some NASA ground station network, or pipe it through commercial ones as well? What kinds of frequencies are being used? Microwave (X/Ku/etc?-bands)?

Every White Nationalist group I am in is full of people unanimously happy to sit back and enjoy the show.

Nobody is involved, nobody wants to be involved, nobody is encouraging anyone to get involved. Indeed, there are often reminders of why it is so important not to get involved.

And why would we? An anti-White state is under attack from hordes of Africans and brainwashed Whites whose radicalization they permitted and facilitated. It's like watching two people you hate beat each other to a pulp- it's marvellous!

The media is desperately trying to pin the blame on 'White Supremacists' (I don't know a single one), desperately trying to incite White resistance, so that they may erupt in condemnation of Whites... And yet we are giving them nothing. It's still just blacks and blues fighting it out. It's a lot of fun.
