> In your infrastructure setup, for hostnames in a cluster, how do you separate China servers and non-China servers? Do you put a subdomain or something?

Yes, these are exactly the sorts of things one does. The PRC is so distinct in terms of legal norms that servers hosted there need to be treated differently. If PRC would adhere to the legal norms of most of the rest of the world, and stop trying to start a cold war with the U.S, this would not be necessary.

> And how do you link user's nationality to which server they are supposed to connect to?

It's not so much about nationality, but about jurisdiction. For calls where no participants' connections originate from a PRC IP block, don't use the PRC infrastructure. For calls where at least one connection originates from the PRC, terminate the call wherever meets the legal requirements (that PRC participant may have special obligations to their government) and is technically convenient. It's not really that hard.

> What if a US citizen joins a mainland Chinese hosted meeting? Is it wrong for Zoom to decrypt packets in China?

Again, it is not a matter of citizenship, but of jurisdiction. If the call is hosted in PRC, that's not even a question; if PLA asks, you must decrypt the packets on the host, or at least provide keys.

In each case, you bring up nationality or citizenship, but when it comes to these scenarios, these are not relevant. Chinese nationals legally present in U.S. jurisdiction have most of the same rights as U.S. citizens, and all of the same legal obligations. In terms of obligations, the same is true in PRC: if you are present in PRC, you are obligated to follow the PRC's law, whether or not you are a national.
Is it used for anything other than Flutter? I remember they initially pitched Dart as a wholesale replacement for JavaScript on the web, before Flutter even existed.
I understand that this may be offensive to idealistic minds, but people from far away are socially less accountable, and therefore more likely to cause trouble than people who live nearby. Hopefully people can see why that is the case and accept it rather than being upset by it. That cop was doing his job. Always be polite and understand that you are a guest in that town, that he is sworn to protect. It sounds like you are.
I think so! I've got an "Aloha" branded mahogany parlour guitar that dates from somewhere around then, it's tricky to narrow down any further than that though. Still sounds fantastic.

What should the NYT have said, and what forms your opinion of how NYT readers interpret an article like this? Personally, I don't think I could even get anecdata on people I know based on their primary news source.
The quality of engineering is certainly either just totally incompetent or willfully bad. The new site is a mess. It's mind-bogglingly slow, and it feels like it was built by 10 junior React engineers who were given 3 weeks to complete it.

It's worse in every way. Significantly slower, less information, more ads, more distractions, dark patterns everywhere and it just looks bad.

When you see the behavior of the leadership of the company it's no surprise they manage this level of incompetence.

The manipulation by power mods, advertising agencies and political shills is unparalleled.
If I'm not mistaken there's a configurable detection threshold and/or a match score.

But most likely people and organizations will think this work like the movies.

I wonder what would be the score of the actual faces if we added them to the test set (faces, but not the same photos). Would bigger test sets have photos that match the targets more than themselves?

The increase in money lending us directly correlated with a vast increase in the standard of living for the average human.

Just because you buy a dollar rather than a shirt does not suddenly make you exploited. Imagine if everything debt is used for had to be bought in full. Very few people would own homes. Very few capital investment projects would be undertaken. Very few automobiles would be owned. Your life is far better because debt exists. There is no society where debt does not exist that is doing better than societies that allow debt.
Compilers like GNU cc (and clang, FWIW) have a flag you can pass to have it dump GNU make compatible dependency files, and you can have it include system header files (I turn this on); and in the other direction, there is a feature of make designed to fetch and include files if they exist and, if not, to actually consider it a target for the current build system to quickly build, mostly for these dependency output files. If you use GNU automake--which is not at all required (I do not tend to use it, for example) but is the intention of the ecosystem--this is all set up for you (though maybe without turning on the feature for system header files to be included?). If you are having issues with C code and make not knowing the dependencies, you are using the tools wrong.
I have quite an intricate system build up to get the most quality out of reddit as poossible —it’s still quite bad, but it’s better. I have been thinking of making a blog post or soemthing about it.

- I have a multireddit with select magic the gathering subs

- I have a multireddit with select tech subs

- I have a multireddit with general high quality subs

- My “all” feed has HUNDREDS of subs filtered off. This is a life long excersice. Whenever I see a meme on “all”, i filter that sub away.

I have customized FB as well, removing every CS element on the site except the shortcuts list for groups on the left, where I can acess a few important groups.

My main problem is Twitter now. Why the fuck is every american news in the form of a tweet? The site is awful to use, and I really don’t want anothet SoMe account.

You clearly skimmed my comment without actually reading it. The police were obviously in the wrong. But the exact way in which they were in the wrong remains extremely relevant to all of the discussions going on right now, yet the media appears to have largely cut it out of the story because that makes for a snappier piece. If we want to solve these issues as a society, we need to be working off of good information.
it's anecdotal.

another anecdote, when first trying to raise awareness of the issue, when mentioning it to members of the community I never got the response "wow, how could this happen in computer architecture?" rather the response tended to be "wow, I can't believe it finally got bad enough that a student died"
We diligently put on our masks out of a sense of theater and emotion rather than actual effectiveness.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/new-study-question...

And the WHO continues to maintain that healthy people do not need to wear masks.

And asymptomatic spread of the virus is “very rare” according to the WHO: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-pat...

Masks in the general public is just a placebo. A way to make people feel like they are “doing their part.”
Shot in the dark: you didn't read the article and reacted to the clickbaity title?
It's different for me.

The youtube page just starts with a whitened stationary placeholder where the video should play. It has a "skip" button and I don't have to wait 4-5 seconds (watching an ad video).

This is probably Youtube simultaneously testing different stuff to different people. The version I am seeing is not as bad.

Previous ads where I have to wait 4-5 seconds are already dealt with by my installed ad blocker.
Because it isn’t meaningfully dangerous. The inside of hospitals are not sterile. If there is a need for additional cleanliness, scrubs are covered with something that actually is sterile
Through US government incompetence we missed our chance to contain and suppress the virus back in February. Now the pandemic is so widespread that it's impractical to do enough contract tracing and isolation to eradicate the virus. In many areas the authorities aren't even bothering to try. So we're on a path to herd immunity whether we like it or not.

Obviously this is a bad state of affairs. But it's important to understand the reality we're in rather than indulging in fantasies.
Yup, np. https://www.meetup.com/People-of-Color-Code/
They're a cool bunch of people there. Even non-poc show up as well.
I believe it's classical case where there is enough evidence for a wrongful death civil lawsuit (which will typically end with a 5-10 million dollars settlement), but there is not enough evidence to convict the officers (or the boyfriend) of a crime in a criminal case.
> "Cannot"? Why wouldn't it just require a much bigger effort?

Corona is basically endemic in the US. You can test nursing homes and airport arrivals, and do followup testing on a small population. You cannot test 320 million people, and do followup weekly testing on them.

Perhaps you're inspired by the success in NZ or Taiwan. The US has a totally different situation.

You seem to think that "doing something" is better than nothing. Again, that's false hope in this case. Herd immunity is the only logical result in this case.

But hope is not a strategy.

I would compare the US response to corona in 2020 to the English and French appeasement of Germany in the 1930's. Denial of reality resulted in the total destruction of Europe in WW2, not much different to the health and financial results of corona.
I wonder if this means that existing customers/products had to stop using the service? If so this might be the first time I recall seeing a cloud vendor flex like this.

CTOs of city and law enforcement orgs are probably seriously questioning the vulnerability of relying on cloud SaaS.
> For credit cards, the number of times you should have to specify which type of card you're entering is literally zero

From what I can recall, the number of times I've had to specific what type of card I have when filling out an online form is zero, because every form I can remember using did autodetect it. I admit I'm fairly young (only have had a card for 10-12 years), but from the amount of frustration you seem to have about this, I feel like you must have run into it much more recently than that.
BLM is peaceful?

Techies on here that are on the extreme fringes of an ideological vanguard might convince themselves of that. The silent majority that still believe their own eyes noticed the mass looting and violence and aren't on board with abolishing the police, schools or other institutions.

Some of us even remember BLM supporter / mass shooter Micah Xavier Johnson, or notice a lot of intertwining with black supremacy movements like the Black Hebrew Israelites (such as the couple that shot up the New Jersey deli last year). Or noticed a BLM cofounder met with Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. More importantly, some of us aren't going to go along with inflicting critical race theory on our children.

So in a way they all seem pretty similar to me; they're all based on a lie, and they all use a motte and bailey strategy to advance dangerous ideology in a shroud of modest-sounding objections to the status quo. The only difference is that white nationalists are rightly denounced and unsuccessful; for some weird reason the others get a pass.
To re-iterate the other reply in my own words:

Surveillance is secret, and that's the problem - secret surveillance that gives law enforcement an advantage. As well as whoever in governmental and political power may choose to abuse this secret surveillance.

Throwing people in prisons or gunning them down is visible and able to be protested against - like is happening now.

How can people protest against something they don't know is even happening? It took Snowden to even know that.

Secrecy is fire, and humans ought not to play with it too much.
This is, i think, the root of people's anger toward the police right now. The ruling class can't seem to do anything but stomp on the people they hold power over.
I find Justwatch.com very useful.
I can imagine a scenario where I think many objective individuals would agree a no-knock warrant would make sense, so I can agree that they might be useful.

There is a danger in this tabula rasa sort of thinking. If we think only of imaginary scenarios and "in theory this is how it works", we're likely to ignore the very real consequences of this awful practice. Ms Taylor isn't the first person to die in this situation (innocent person killed entirely due to police incompetence); neither is she the thousandth. Lots of police die from no-knocks gone awry as well. There is no reason for any of this. If police know where the suspect is located, they may collect her or him at any time. When the suspect is a regular person with a regular job, why not make an arrest when she or he leaves the house to go to work in the morning? How about arresting the suspect at work, with no opportunity to hide evidence or resist?

The "nightmare scenario" that cynical police spin for credulous judges is that drugs might be flushed down a toilet. But drug prohibition is itself cynical and evil. Prohibition has only ever harmed American society. As we collectively wake from our long nightmare of drug enforcement, we must do away with all the insidious menaces that it has inspired. Our police will not be replaced overnight with "responsible" authoritarians, so we must not "imagine" we can safely allow them the tools of authoritarian tyranny, on the off chance that they might not be used in the way they have always been used. You write as if it's only because of "unprofessional" actions that Ms Taylor was killed. In fact, "unprofessionalism" is why we are blaming the police, but people like Ms Taylor are killed in no-knock raids even when every action is performed in adequately "professional" fashion. Occasionally no one dies senselessly, but these raids are always dangerous and unnecessary. That is a practical truth, which overrides "objective" theory.

> The ORM layer is not a DSL but some nicely done JS/TS functions

You are splitting hairs here as far as I'm concerned. You need to learn the an API so you can do 70% of your queries. Then you need to learn SQL so you can do the other 30% of your queries and actually understand how to design a database. The queries that the "nicely done JS/TS functions" are replacing are almost always the simplest, most basic queries. Do you really need a special query language to say `select * from widgets`?

The big problem with every ORM layer is you are essentially learning a disposable language. Every ORM says it's the best way to Query ever, and yet here we are, 5000 ORMs later and SQL is still an essential skill for developers.

I know... "This time it's different!".
> This study did not aim to verify whether surgical or cloth masks are able to shorten the trajectory of droplets emitted through coughing.

This seems like a very limited study, since so much of the discussion about masks as a way of preventing spread has resolved around the known cases of one person spreading the virus to a big crowd of others in a confined indoor space.
I use `s3cmd` or `s4cmd` to transfer files to s3 from the terminal. Its easy to set it up as a shell script or a cron job.

Then, I have a lifecycle rule on my s3 bucket that transfers all files to glacier.

Works perfectly for my use-case.
If you are lending money at absurd rates because the borrower is desperate then we could call it exploitation, but this can happen in any transaction. All transactions are "taking advantage of the fact that the borrower cannot pay you in the present." If the person I'm selling food to already has enough food, why would he be buying more?

The difference with money seems rather to be that the value is created over time, where other transactions happen based on the current value of the things being exchanged. But given that we all die this doesn't strike me as morally wrong.

Quote from the article

Old information:

Early reports from China, the United Kingdom and Seattle found mortality rates as high as 90% among patients on ventilators.

And more recently, a study of some New York hospitals seemed to show a mortality rate of 88%.

New information:

The mortality rate among 165 COVID-19 patients placed on a ventilator at Emory was just under *30%* .

And unlike the New York study, only a few patients were still on a ventilator when the data were collected.
The WHO recently changed its guidance to recommend masks for all, albeit only in "specific situations" where distancing is not possible.

WHO has updated its guidance to advise that to
prevent COVID-19 transmission effectively in areas of
community transmission, governments should encourage the
general public to wear masks in specific situations and
settings as part of a comprehensive approach to suppress
SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Your remark on the racial bias is what also came to my mind immediately. It would only be fair if the percentage of mugshots that are of people of color in their 25k sample was published.
Hola. Yeah, overall I hear people taking stances at FANG companies and such, especially in the AI and surveillance world. I believe that's going to be the big issue in the next decade. As for getting involved, I'd start looking at meet ups in your local area. Simple things such as going over privacy focused apps could go a long way.
The judge made it a part of the sentencing, plus 2 year probation. The judge was hoping his story could serve as a warning to other potential white-collar criminals (Bodnar claims he's innocent in the book, so not quite the warning the judge was hoping for).

The book was in the court records, but seems to have been pulled as I think Bodnar is trying to sell it now.

"When former pharmaceutical executive Andrew G. Bodnar pleaded guilty to white-collar crime in 2009, the judge didn't throw the book at him—he ordered him to write one.

Reflect upon "the criminal behavior in this case so that others similarly situated may be guided in avoiding such behavior," said the judgment from U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina in Washington. And make it 75,000 words.

The finished book, written during Dr. Bodnar's two-year probation, has been submitted into the court record."[1]

It’s distorted due to the same 2 or 3 families owning all of the news sources you’re reading, and using those to push political agendas. Even the parent post points out the distortion field working overtime on this article.

We rail against twitter or Facebook when they push politics and don’t act like a nonpartisan medium of transmission, but we’ve allowed our news to become exactly that.
There is a large woodworking subculture that uses only (or at least mostly) hand tools. While new good hand tools can be expensive, you can get good stuff at a more moderate cost on eBay.

See e.g. Paul Sellers or Chris Schwartz.

Sure, you're not going to set up a furniture factory that can compete with IKEA on price using hand tools, but who cares? You're doing it for your own enjoyment. And hand tools are enjoyable to use, much less noise and dust than machine tools.
"In one study" means "In a particular sample." A sample does not always share the same characteristics as the population.
As for your second point, I've seen an article on CNN the other day that says US kills twice as many people (per 1M arrests) than Australia.

It seems like a lot, but then consider that only 5% of people killed by police in the US were unarmed. The other 95% were armed, and most of those cases seem to be actual criminals rather than ordinary people like Breonna Taylor's boyfriend.

I'm with you on the American police being quite distinct from other police forces, and there's a lot of criticism to be made about them - like failure to keep proper statistics about police killings - but I think it's also fair to consider the circumstances that they work in.

As for your first point, many of the things can be true at the same time: US puts too many people into jails, there is too much crime in the US, and there are ways to obtain justice that are not available in most other countries (mass media, social media, courts).

I think this will get better as more heating is done electrically. A hot water tank, or a house, stores a surprising amount of energy and the heater has a few degrees of wiggle room to intelligently decide when to activate. I think the amounts of energy used for heating are large enough that end-consumers will care about price differences.
