They probably meant per day. I think "flat" is a fair characterization of the metric:

Deaths has a few problems. One is that once SARS-CoV-2 finds a nursing home, it's a lot of at-risk people in once place, so it gets hit hard. If deaths is the metric you care about, it's best to put a lot of effort into testing workers at care facilities and putting those facilities strict lockdowns. Once we learned this, we started "gaming" the metric a bit. The other problem is it's a lagging indicator.

Positive tests are problematic because early on, there was a shortage, presumed positive people weren't being tested because it wouldn't change anything, people without symptoms aren't being tested, etc. It's the flakier metric, for sure.

For how many tests are coming back negative, I wish we were doing random testing and random antibody testing. If we're not doing those, we're still being reactive.
No, I described how it is in C. C has a proper array syntax, although a poor one. The problem is that pointers can do a lot of the same, so people get confused.

> the tech itself is sound and does guarantee reproducibility

Does the tech guarantee reproducibility if you can use it to create un-reproducible artifacts? I don't think Docker claims anywhere to guarantee reproducible builds...
thats not true. there are people who would be happy to advertise on the federalist or conservative content, but youtube/google bans it anyway because they are ideologues.

how hard would it to be to allow them to match with advertisers who specifically want to be on that type of content?

Given that this whole thread started with a strawman ("dismantling of police and courts ..., civil rule of law society), a motte-and-bailey seems appropriate. Thanks for introducing me to that term btw, TIL. It's a nice one.

The reply by cmdshiftf4 was an example of tone policing - criticizing the words and attacking a simple slogan, instead of addressing the meat of the issue. You yourself have engaged in an ad hominem argument by calling me (indirectly) "an intentional deceiver" or "a parroting crony", rather than talk about the issue.

(See, I, too, know the names of some logical fallacies. I also like dropping them into online debates to show that I alone have developed my opinions using solely logic, reason, and facts, whereas everyone else is biased and relies on emotion and personal history. :-P)

Really interesting story of a new math proof starring, among others, Terence Tao.

But the meat of the story is not the proof itself, but rather how it was constructed and led to a wider program for CADTP (computer assisted theorem proving).

The first part (the proof itself) is interesting in itself, but the really cool part starts at ~ slide 20.
The HN title is not great. It's not docker, it's a mini-docker as the original title says. For example there is no "gocker build" command.

I mean, say what you will about IBM helping the Nazis, but I think a more relevant question is what made a country act in the way Germany did in WW2.
I think that it is due to the copy cats that keep stealing apps and repacking them.

Most Android developers lack native coding experience, so after failing attempts to protect their applications with the DEX bytecodes obfuscator, they think that recoding parts of the application with the NDK will save them.

However as this article shows, and most here know, they shortly learn that against good attackers, the only benefit from using native code directly is it takes a little longer to decipher what the application does.

So then one turns to solutions like what you are describing.
I agree in part but also disagree: It has a certain accommodation to it--you are probably fine where you are. I'm fine over here.

But why is this necessary, unless you basically hate a person and don't think you could ever reconcile? It's a psychology of tribalism.

Unfortunately the letter also has a certain "shoot first, ask questions later" aspect to it. Like, why wouldn't Wells diplomatically _ask_ Joyce about the perspectives that informed his writing to the public in such a way?

The "articulate his own values and why as a result he considers it not worth his time" aspect is also a bit of a cringe along the same lines. You can see it all the time today, in comments on things that are shared on various, ahem, online communities. Especially in response to new projects or posts that don't seem completely pragmatic or tuned for performance, as if everything is meant for a paying audience of common moviegoers. Why wasn't I consulted? I'm a common man! I represent your most common audience!

Nah, I think Wells was also feeling afraid of being left out, tossed into the dustbin. Why else would you stake your entire identity so firmly in opposition to someone else, in a letter to that person, instead of keeping it open and asking questions? You're arguing for your own existence. Maslow has entered the chat with some cake and coffee and a monthly stipend.

Finally he seems to project some pretty nasty subjective perceptions right into Joyce's rationale. It kinda pulls Joyce down from what Wells seems to treat as a high horse. But it also promotes Wells' own perceptions all the way down the page. Like he invited himself to a debate and forgot to summon a live opponent.

TBH while it's amusing to read, and especially in a pompous voice, it also illustrates (to some, and hopefully) how we can learn to do much better for ourselves and others as a thoughtful corresponding audience.

A much simpler thing to do is to simply disable all of the standard library functions which allow i/o. Lua has functionality specifically intended for limiting the environment available to a script, and the standard library is small enough that doing this is actually practical.

> Maybe the R0 curve just flattens more quickly than we thought?

I think that's a confusion of R0 with Rt, Rt is what is influencing what we observe and simply not a constant, and additionally not the same in different settings or states:

https://rt.live/

More importantly, for the Rt == 1 (and being constant) the number of cases would be constantly growing linearly. Only for Rt > 1 the growth is exponential.

As long as the Rt is around 1 it is not surprising that we don't see long lasting exponential growth.

But also note that the values calculated there are more an "illustration" of how the past partial data can be fit to some model than a certainty of the present. The model is helpful to allow us to have a possibility to talk about some concept (Rt and the differences in growth), but is not the current truth, especially for the situation where the data isn't complete and there is a delay in obtaining the updates versus what is actually happening at the moment at every place during the ongoing pandemics. Those who aren't in statistics now can be already infected and die in some weeks, or infect others, and we are never sure how much of those there are at the moment, given the constant changes of the behavior and the movements of the people.

This is a contradiction. The whole point of DFS is "if you detect radar on this frequency you must stop transmitting on it". This is typically followed by a change of channel to avoid an outage of the Wi-Fi, hence "dynamic frequency selection".

I'm not saying you're wrong, but "does this technology have potential for abuse" is not a great metric IMO. E.g. computers have potential for abuse, phones have potential for abuse, pretty much any tech we've ever developed that helped someone also coincidentally helped people we wish it wouldn't, whether it be criminals, or just made the government more powerful (if that's something that worries you).

Yeah, pretty much. Also, standard video aspect ratios like 1280x720 fit the full width of the monitor with space above and below for toolbars and video player UI, which is... basically impossible to convey how frustrating it is to watch video on a widescreen monitor when you've tried a proper one for comparison. Any kind of fullscreen (ie maximized window) games or multimedia is similar.

> FWIW I never met a single person in the bay area that didn't want to live basically anywhere else, ...

All this says is you live in a bubble. I know many people who would love to live here but can't afford to do so. I also live here and the only reason I'm considering leaving is the expense. I imagine most people who own a home here don't stay here because they hate it. They could sell their homes and probably retire early anywhere else. FWIW I'm not from here. The only people who want to live "anywhere else" aren't from here and are only here for the money. Those people will leave, sure. But then again, maybe not, when they see that employees here make more than they do in Cleveland.

> I'm sure that resonates with a lot of other people too, that don't think retiring early surrounded by friends and family is a prison sentence.

I think you're vastly underestimating the number of people that are from here that want to stay here. I've got many, many friends that have left the area simply because they can't afford it.

It's going to be decades before the bay "empties out", because as soon as that starts happening, those people living six adults to a three-bedroom home are going to start spreading out and the people that left against their will are going to come back. And there is still going to be an absurd amount of money here, even it gets spread around some.

And as much as companies may start to allow remote work (not at all a forgone conclusion in my mind, although the $$ seems right), there are still going to be competitive advantages to employees and founders who decide to live here.
Not only does Android use obfuscators as part of the build process, most applications make use of native code for their secure modules.
I'm still skeptical about everything they propose as "secure" and "safe" after all the previous security issues and censoring meetings for the memorial of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre. Also, the one-time verification thing with phone number verification?...

There are a lot of weird amplifiers:

Old welding transformers are controlled by a magnetic shunt- field lines are directed through a movable shunt instead of the secondary.

There are magnetic core logic circuits, see:

You know that magnetic tape hiss? That makes a great radio detector:

These techniques are largely automated through metadata during a build process. It takes effort to setup, but not nearly as much effort as you think. The effect is asymmetrical- what takes you 1 hour to do costs a reverser 100. At least as time efficient as implementing backend detection algorithms.

Yes, the category of religion would fit better. Perhaps a categorization like: Religion > Religious texts > Bible > American Standard Version

However, some books might fit into multiple categorizations, depending on the type of categorization. (As one example, one type of categorization is Dewey Decimal System, so if you select the Dewey category then the subcategories will be the numeric categories, but the same book might also be found in other categories based on a different categorization scheme.)
That’s pretty metal.

Another lost amplification technology is the mechanical amplifier - basically a transducer which is mechanically coupled to a carbon button mic diaphragm - obviously only useful in the AF range, but it was how early telephone toll circuits were amplified and extended beyond what heavy gauge copper and loading coils could do on their own.
It does an implicit guarantee though. You can match the image digests and it does verify that the image is exactly the same as you intended it to be. Docker also has trust signing now to make additional guarantees. Are you trying to claim that it's possible to have same image digests but the content of images is different?
From my experience with PayPal Working Capital, you get loaned $X based on a percentage of your expected annual sales, and must pay back Y% up to a maximum of $Z.

There's no additional upside for PayPal beyond the lofty rates they charge for the service.

The fee is also "fixed" and is based on an APR calculated at the time of application. You never accrue interest.

I am looking exactly for adventure. I was in a consulting company where I was solving such problems. Now I am in a large product company where the bureaucracy is becoming unbearable. It is also more about where you are presently to get opportunities. I am in a country where the scope is limited.

Looks like that was the product of an internal hackathon. That said, your point is still valid; companies often experience these little internal pivots. In large companies, it becomes make-work empowering a Not Invented Here culture. In smaller companies, too much obsession over tangential projects lead to misprioritized boondoggles that might potentially threaten their futures.

> You care about physics.

No, that's not what I meant. I am a computer engineer not a structural one.

When I talk about building, I mean code, and making sure it does what it's supposed to.

Unless you count algorithms and their behavior to fall under the umbrella of physics, of course.

Mathematics most certainly does help predict what the behavior of my code will be. It's really not about illumination, it's about taking monster shortcuts in my code because a solidly proved theorem allows me to.

> the word describes what mathematicians do,

I think you just described what you think mathematicians do. I do know a number of pure mathematicians who think of their trade rather differently, namely they are trying to build useful math.

> it simply illuminates what is already there.
