Very much so. There have been a lot of news articles, especially in the UK which I follow more carefully, about it.

I've been growing herbs, and flowers, on my balcony for years, but this year we managed to get an allotment - 10mx10m for €50/year, and only a few minutes walk from our house.

We spent a lot of time cutting down grass, weeding and similar, but we got very lucky with the timing. We gained access in mid-May before all the places were claimed, and we've managed to plant Onions, Garlic, Potatoes, and a bunch of pretty plants. Radish/Turnips/Carrots aren't doing so well, but everything else is thriving.

Things are growing well and every couple of days I head over to water, weed, and take care of the plot. I'm actually surprised by how much I've been enjoying the process.
>Now dig into the data and see what segment of the population these issues affect the most and disproportionately so. On top of all that, Black people have to worry about having to walk down the street too? Any reasonable person would say "fuck that".

Not sure about the data, but based on the people I see every day and talk to it's poor and mentally ill native and white people. The black community is fairly small here and consists of a few south African families who were not participating in the protests, at least from what I could tell seeing one of the families on the beach that day, while some members of the other were working.

There was an older black Lady who looked at all the white families with their kids protesting who shook her head and called them idiots that i seen but otherwise, it was a bunch of white people yelling about black lives in a community where the main racial problems that do exist are towards natives and there wasn't a single mention about that from those people. The homeless native guy drinking and smoking crack on the street next to them matters less than some guy killed by a cop in the States.
The problem is competition, innovation, and low cost of replication. Without these it would be so much easier.

You see as soon as you make it easy to do X, everyone does X, X becomes cheap, there is no business in making X anymore, you need to do complicated thing Y.
I once started a job where the contract contained a very weird clause: I wouldn’t be able to use any programming-related knowledge I gained at the job for my future jobs. Obviously that‘s not enforceable, but it led to a ridiculous discussion where I tried to explain to them that if previous employers did this, I could only use the knowledge I gained before being employed - effectively programming like during highschool. They agreed in the end that I should be allowed to transfer knowledge and the clause was removed.
Pretty much. They claim there's multiple sources, but the results are strikingly similar. And on image search, identical.
In the UK when I was a child, late 70s, early 80s, it was really common to see battery-powered delivery vehicles.

The milk floats were definitely ahead of their time:

"In August 1967, the UK Electric Vehicle Association put out a press release stating that Britain had more battery-electric vehicles on its roads than the rest of the world put together."

> Suggesting the virus was circulating in China as early as August but was being covered up?

It's a well established fact that the existence of the virus was initially being covered up and local doctors trying to raise the alarm were being silenced. Even mainland Chinese know this (and are angry with the authorities). One of those doctors was Li Wenliang who has become somewhat of a national hero after his death to covid[1]. Him and dozens of others were given a very stern warning to stop talking about the possibility of a new disease outbreak in the weeks prior to covid becoming official when overwhelming evidence made it no longer possible to sweep under the rug.

The only angle here is that the time when the outbreak began is earlier than thought. This isn't even related to the notion of any coverup. It could have been circulating for months in low volumes without anyone really paying attention. Until the outbreak reaches critical mass, all you'll get is micro clusters which appear and disappear without really blowing up - as we're now seeing in countries that got their first wave under control.

The fact that people here still think that the initial coverup is some sort of conspiracy theory, when it's common knowledge even in China, is a bit mind blowing.

I am missing words with 'ij' in the proof text. If they do not look roughly similar and with their dots on the same height, the font looks pretty bad in Dutch (ij is a frequent combination, and often even taught as one letter). Should a proof text care about a few of such language specific cases?
Apparently it's a bad thing, since California virtually legalized car break-ins (it's not a felony, so it's not really investigated).

"To his surprise, the app that he used to record his regular rides from Bethesda into Georgetown via the Capital Crescent Trail shared that information publicly, not just with his network of friends and followers. Someone had located a record of his ride on the path on June 2, matched it to the location of the assault from the video, matched his profile picture — white guy, aviator-style sunglasses, helmet obscuring much of his head — to the man in the video, and shared the hunch publicly."
Eh, I dunno most candidates know this is criteria used to judge them against others going with a simple/quick solution just to demonstrate competence is an easy to way to miss out on a job

I personally hate it, where I work we do this to people and you can tell just how long they spent on these things, and god knows how many they have had to knock out as part of a job search

I tried to end the practice but got a lot of resistance
Then it kind of sounds like people are protesting against issue that is actual issue they experienced in their community. And somehow it is not real for you, because they are not right color and should wait for other protests with matching color.

This x 1000. I'm a contractor, so I luckily don't _need_ to find a full time position at the moment; but I occasionally stick my feet in the water to see what's available. I've interviewed with a handful of companies over the past week and around 50% of them describe problems/roles that are mostly different than the original job post. When pressed on the matter, it becomes clear that they have no idea what problem they're actually trying to solve, nor which type of candidate would be a best fit for those unknown problems.

> Personally if I'm hiring someone I've already worked with, I don't do any interview.

Whenever one of my former coworkers would come in for an interview, I would recuse myself from the loop. I figured it would be a waste of time for everyone and I would have an undue influence on the process, especially since they already knew I approved. I would ask to be put at the very end of the loop and then just ask the person if they had any questions about the people they talked to or anything the learned about the company that day that concerned them.

If they were just a friend who I had never actually worked with, I would interview them like normal but would still ask to be near the end so they could ask me better questions during the Q&A.

These issues seem to be a symptom of bad/inexperienced developers rather than the tooling. Proptypes and linting may also help with some of your type/prop issues but competency will trump tooling most times.
There must be a better term for this than "conspiracy theorist". If you believe the official 9/11 Commission report, as I generally do, that qualifies you as believing a conspiracy theory in any intellectually honest meaning of the term (a theory about a conspiracy.)

The term seems to have entered the general public's lexicon in the aftermath of the Warren Commission report, which was decidedly not a theory about a conspiracy (it asserted that Oswald was a lone wolf, who didn't conspire with anybody.) Disagreeing with that meant you had a theory about Oswald or others conspiring; a literal conspiracy theory. But since then, the term "conspiracy theory" seems to be leveled against anybody who disputes an 'official' narrative, regardless of which side (if either) is putting forth a theory that involves conspiring. All theories about 9/11 are conspiracy theories (unless you can find anybody who seriously believes that all four plane incidents were perpetrated by lone wolves who, by pure coincidence, all chose the same date and methods.) As the term is commonly [mis]used today, it may as well mean "unpopular theory."
Linux Snake Game
Your comment makes no sense at all. Kubernetes is not equivalent to running nginx on Ubuntu. This comparison is simply too absurd to the point I really doubt you have any idea of what Kubernetes is designed to do and why people use it.

I mean, who in their right mind would even describe a cluster of VMs and/or COTS hardware running with a VPN and designed to automatically run and manage the lifecycle of containers as well as the computational resources they consume as... Operating nginx on Ubuntu?

If you don't have anything to add to the discussion and your only relationship with the topic is that you are completely unfamiliar and are intimidated by what you don't know then please refrain from increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the discussion.

Apparently since you can construct a Turing machine in Magic: The Gathering, this is a case where halting is formally undecidable in general. :-)

Hah, Granny Weatherwax would suggest it is all about headology, but I think you are right about our internal languages and how we may be able to really speak to others.
Not trying to prove you wrong, but I really don't think anyone has enough facts to claim either way confidently. I don't necessarily agree with all of the data presented, but I think your response to it is emotional and unwarranted—the authors haven't said anything about cover up as far as I can tell.

Also, I think just because it's circulating doesn't necessarily mean that there is a good chance of it being brought to other countries. If it really started off in a wet market, I can imagine that the people who are most susceptible to catching the virus initially are not those who can afford/have the opportunity to travel.

If I'm not mistaken, August is about when people return from summer holiday, and there aren't really holidays until Chinese New Year. There a week of holiday in October for National Day, but people typically travel back to their home town instead of overseas.

It feels possible that the virus could be limited to just transmission within China for a while, which gets spread with every festival between August and late December/January, eventually reaches a critical mass and spread to the rest of the world with people travelling due to Chinese New Year in early 2020.

I honestly don't think I'm right, and you probably spotted logical flaws in the example I have given above. I just want to point out that the problem is extremely complex, and even the facts that you have pointed out are only a small part of the whole picture that just happen to support your views and arguments.
Anecdata, an old relative of mine died of pneumonia earlier this year. My relative did not test positive for influenza despite having flu like symptoms for two weeks prior.
The local hospital’s ICU was overwhelmed with patients having the same symptoms. This was in January. COVID was not on the local radar.

But this was in a senior citizen community town, so overwhelmed hospitals aren’t really newsworthy. And I personally only entertain the idea it was COVID-19, but it doesn’t make sense because the dates are all wrong.

Then articles like this make me wonder, what if it swept by undetected? Were the most vulnerable communities already hit and we didn’t notice? Could that happen?
My personal experience (4 years on GKE in production) has been the opposite; running on k8s has abstracted away a number of things that I’d otherwise have to engineer.

Volumes just get attached (using PersistentVolumeClaims), and automatically migrate to a new node of the original pod dies. Vs. having to do some sort of rsync between nodes to keep disks in sync.

Secrets get encrypted by k8s and mounted where needed. I would agree that RBAC is a bit tricky but I don’t think it’s harder than IAM provisioned with Terraform.

If you are not using a service mesh for your VMs then you don’t need one in k8s. (I don’t use one, and rolled TLS to the pod in less effort than it would take to maintain TLS to the VM). The reason you want a service mesh is to abstract TLS and retry mechanics from the application layer - i.e. make your service authors more productive. If you don’t use a service mesh then you are back to managing TLS per-service, which is where you are with VMs already.

There are definitely more services you _could_ run, but in my experience these are additive, I.e. they are extra work, but give you a productivity boost.

Anyway, YMMV and I haven’t operated a system as large as Coinbase, so I could be missing something. Interested in hearing others’ experiences though.

return play(6)

If you chose square 0, ... it is left as an exercise for the examiner

If you are a layman, you don't know shit about the "reality".

That is the only reality that you can be sure of.
Dockerfiles are imperative and the order of steps changes the container image that ultimately gets built.

Nix packages are declarative and idempotent. Everything is based on a functional package manager and when you configure your container via nix you get the same thing every time and can easily mix and match other packages and dependencies.

A contrived example is you have a program that depends on multiple versions of python, because nix does not globally set dependencies rather links them locally you can have both with versions of python without any conflicts

Containers built from Dockerfiles are difficult to exactly reproduce too. A very common practice is to update the package manager in which depending on what the server returns will be different from one day to the next where as nix hash addresses and builds from source everything (you can use caches to speed this up) and you get the same thing every time.

Note: NixOS isn’t perfect in terms of being purely functional as many package builds use scripts in pearl,bash,etc but from my understanding these are usually source specific reproducibility issues with Building particular packages and generally speaking things works as expected.
Additionally, they also forced them to get up in the early morning on the social isolation day, locked them in an unfamiliar room, and gave them close to nothing to do:

On the day of the isolation session, participants arrived at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, MIT building 46, at 8.15am...Subsequently, participants gave their phones and laptops to the experimenter and were guided to a room containing an armchair, a desk and office chair, and a fridge with a selection of food, snacks and beverages. Participants remained in that room from 9am until 7pm.
[1]

It's not clear to me why reading material was withheld. It seems to make it harder to draw conclusions regarding the social isolation aspect.

For the fasting session, they only had to report for the 7pm fMRI session. It strikes me that the type of people with time to participate in an experiment like this likely correlates with people that get up later than 6-7am each morning (as would have been required for the isolation session), but it seems there wasn't any accounting for possible sleep deprivation effects.

But isn't the bias mostly just because of the lack of data? Asian facial recognition works very well (or very badly, depending on your perspective) in China...where there is a ton of data on Asian facial structures, etc, for example.
Given that DDG uses the Bing API, would it really be insurance enough?

What it would do is give Microsoft all the leverage they need to negotiate (Give us a cheaper rate or use our API and pay us a similar rate?).

ORANGE: Thinking like a Hackernews commenter. (Glib, contrarian milti-liners.)

YELLOW: The color of the sun, sunflowers, lions, and therefore courage and the heart, as in middle ages medicine.

GREEN: Thinking about the environment, or money, or both.

CYAN: Coming up with business ideas similar to the printer ink pricing model.

BLUE: Thinking about celestial objects that are moving towards us, like Andromeda.

VIOLET: Being violent.
> Note that they already have a team who has built their current compute platform, who built the pipeline to run containers/processes on VMs with auto scaling groups.

In that case I would expect Coinbase to write blog posts on how their setup is the absolute best solution to their problem, and not how they refrain from adopting the best solution to their problem because they claim they don't have anyone on the team that is able to pull that off.
There is also the question of multiple accounts on the same service for compartmentalization purposes. Right now you can do that in most places, although it might require multiple phone numbers and might violate TOS. Obviously, this could either provide privacy benefits or potential for abuse depending on service.

It's not clear whether the "one identity" system is meant to prevent or empower that. Looking at beyondcorp I'd guess it's meant to prevent.

This is so true.

He started his post with a clarifying question and said he wasn't sure if he was interpreting things correctly. So from what I can read, he's already done what you're suggesting he do.

Yep, my wife had the same story. She thought she had Covid-19 back in December when she was sick with flu-like symptoms. We both tested negative for the covid-19 PCR and antibody test this past week.

I'm guessing this is a common trend for people who are over analyzing their symptoms in the past year.
