Weren't those projections for the "business as usual" scenario? Isn't the fact that the number of actual cases are far lower just a reflection of the fact that society has, in fact, responded by changing the situation and thus lower transmission?

The bar for what is considered an expert is arguably higher, too. There is a much larger pool of people to be compared with thanks to global communication and population growth.

> in that time on something like pacman

If you're using Pacman (and presumably Arch or some derivative), that might explain your better experience on Linux. You're on a rolling distro so you get up to date packages (and I believe AUR gets things even quicker).

Homebrew is much closer to that rolling always-up-to-date (within a day or two usually) experience than Apt or Yum on Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora (most people's linux experience), where you have a choice between packages that are 3-6 months out of date or hunting around on the web for a 3rd-party repository to add which contains more up to date packages.

Homebrew can be slow. But the fact that I can `brew install X` or `brew upgrade X` and get on with something else while it's doing it's thing means it doesn't generally take up much of my time.
Wow. I don't get it. It's still very similar just a bit worse all the way around.
From the abstract:

> Neandertals and Denisovans are the closest evolutionary relatives of present-day humans. Analyses of their genomes showed that they contributed genetically to present-day people outside sub-Saharan Africa

So there is already Neandertal hybrids walking around (I'm one of them). I think they should get full human status.
I don’t like it either. White spaces and margin added for the sake of clarity when it makes it less readable. No more strict centering anymore. Avatar being rounded makes them loss information.
I have not missed the point.

The story is about the blog, yes, but a portion deals with the _person_ or _people_ behind it. And that's important.
The important bit is "by depleting or spoiling the shared resource".

Plastic is not a "shared resource". It's not at risk of depletion or "spoilage". It's obviously the opposite problem.

I think the example with the sheep makes it perfectly clear what the concept is and isn't.
Hospitalizations have also been rapidly increasing. Houston hospitals expect 100% ICU usage in less than two weeks.
I believe the goal is/should be a transmission rate of < 1. As long as we can keep it so each infected person has a probability of infecting less than one other person on average, we will be relatively fine.

Eradication in the US seems unreasonable, and just keeping hospitals less than overflowing not enough.
Oversimplified answer: because people want their cellphone to work outside of major US cities.

For example, the laws on what is allowed to use encryption and what is not differ significantly from country to country. There are also often older installations that only provide 3G support.

Basically, it's complicated and there are a lot of different reasons but it mostly comes down to the world being a big place with lots of different laws and requirements, yet people want a phone that works everywhere.
Are you yet another one of those people that things the onus is on other people to disprove your assertion (whoever speaks first is correct by default)? For all I know you know nothing of him and are simply writing an uninformed opinion, something that is extremely common, and becoming moreso every day.
As someone that starting using Linux instead of Mac 2 years ago, this is definitely not the case. External monitors are always glitching out (not detected on resume), sleep didn't work at all, adding hibernate support took days of research (due to whole disk encryption). I once completely hosed my system by installing the latest NVIDIA drivers (Windows will automatically fall back to a built in driver if third party ones crash) and it took me days to get it working again and then it never worked the same. Tearing while scrolling Firefox is a disaster even after trying every X11 trick in the book.

The one thing I really, really like is using i3 to make every app run on a specific monitor and tiling all windows. When I restart my machine, every app I use launches on the right monitor. This customization has been awesome.

You’re part of a very small niche. The tinkerer who doesn’t want to jump to Linux. This is a tiny number of people, sadly, just as the number of people who want to tinker with their cars is very small. Most people just want something that works and is very convenient. They prefer to leave the service to service people.

Why specifically call out Republicans? Pretty sure that Democrats/liberals/BLM/antifa want the protests to keep going.

Or are you saying that the ones who would normally call that out are the Republicans, and they won't because they want Trump's rallies to happen? That's quite plausibly true. But putting it the way you did makes your view sound quite slanted.

Yes, content is the single biggest problem with VR now. There is a lot of it on some platforms (like Steam and Oculus PC), but most of it isn't very good. On Quest there isn't much to play or experience period. VR needs to get to the point where multiple Beat Saber quality games are coming out every month, and an Alyx level AAA game comes out a few times a year.
Because it's not the only factor. Culture is an important factor but not the only one.

Income is another factor. Richer people had access to better food and better medical advice that pressures then to eat healthier.

Genetics are also another factor. Some people are better at accumulating fat than others.

That other elements does not remove cultural influence. You eat what is available to you in your region, what your parents cook, etc.

e.g. A country may tax sugary drinks to reduce availability and that reduces obesity in the country.
Factual and useful observations don't stop being factual and useful just because some people might seek to exploit them as dogwhistling signals. If you've got a problem with malicious dogwhistling, deterring people from exploring these issues is exactly the wrong response. You want to do the opposite, so that honest, careful, nuanced inquiry drowns out any attempt at subverting the discussion.

(For instance, it was historically common to see expressions of concern about e.g. monopolistic industry and large business, damage to the environment, mass poverty etc. being used as dogwhistles obliquely referencing socialist views about the purported inherent evils of capitalism and the market economy, contrasted with bureaucratic central planning and control of the means of production. You don't see this to anything near the same extent nowadays, because most people who talk about these things are factually addressing the issues - often from a broad 'centrist/neoliberal' POV - not dogwhistling about unrelated stuff. So this can actually work.)

> That most are seemingly demographically and politically homogeneous are just the weirdest coincidence.

Demographically homogenous, yes this is a real issue that SSC folks are quite aware of. But it's also an issue about political discourse in general, not merely its awowedly-rationalist subset. Politically homogenous, not really. The whole reason debate was so vigorous within SSC was its lack of that kind of homogeneity.

Yes, that is the meaning. Person 1's individual time line looks like this to Person 1:

- Person 1 contracts the virus, becomes infectious, but shows no symptoms.

- Person 1 gives the virus to Person 4.

- Person 4 becomes ill and shows symptoms, thus seeking testing.

- A positive test result causes Person 4 to report the exposure. This causes their key to be flagged in the exposure database.

- Person 1 downloads the updated exposure database and then receives a notification that they were exposed due to a match to Person 4's key.

- The next step is up to Person 1. However, a perfectly reasonable scenario is Person 1 now thinks, "I feel fine, but I will be extra vigilant and in case I feel symptoms I'll go for testing right away!"

In this case, Person 1 would never register on the app as positive because as an asymptomatic carrier they would never suspect they have the virus, and thus never go for testing even though they are infectious.

It's interesting to think of this from the tesla standpoint. There was a kind of reverse situation where the shorters and idealogically opposed to evs or pro gas people had conspiracy theories going the other way. They were doing secret investigations and harassing some reporters who thought telsa was some big financial fake-out.

There were claims that tesla wasn't really selling cars (cause who would want one?), or they were all parked in some giant hidden parking lot, rusting away or something. They hired airplanes to take pictures of the factory. This somehow got some famous investors into it who were sure tesla was doomed. There was a whole belief system, weird twitter handles. There seemed to be coordinated publishing of information to try to sink the stock. I've never been close enough to a stock to see it happen before this.

And now it has turned around again - instead of too many shorters, their value is too high. Tesla's market value feels vastly too high, like 10x or more too much. The company should do pretty well but they won't be approaching half the world car market imho.

For the license, it's right there near the stop of the sidebar. For me it's actually easier to notice now.

As for language, it's true, it's below the fold in the sidebar. Maybe it'd be better above the contributors. But for me the most important place for me to see language is when searching/browsing through lists of repos - and that hasn't changed.
But not outside those teams. If you want to put something together in a few weeks your options are relatively limited in that collecting accurate data is fairly hard. The actual dynamics of the car is fairly simple but the forces applied to it are quite hard to model (I don't know how much Michelin charge to use TameTire but I'm guessing not cheap)
doesn't the hsts header have to be delivered in cleartext the first time you visit the site with http? so your browser knows from then on it can only ever visit via https? the header can be removed in that initial cleartext request so it never gets set in your browser in the first place. I don't think HSTS works against highly targeted MITM attacks like this.
In theory, yes, but a constant 5 GB penalty is enormous in practice — orders of magnitude bigger than anything used in the real world. Brotli’s static dictionary is only 122 KB, and covers many natural and programming languages beyond just English.
In Minneapolis cases and hospitalizations have been trending down(!) ever since Memorial Day when this all started. To the point that hospitalizations are about half of what they were then. So it can’t just be the protests.
There isn't a color scheme you can pick where you won't get users asking you for a dark-on-light vs light-on-dark version, whatever is the opposite of whatever color scheme you thought would be one-size-fits-all.

> It's actually one of the area where Python or JS can beat statically typed languages, they focused a lot into optimizing strings while statically typed languages often leave that as an exercise to the reader.

I think this has more to do with writing the string handling functions in heavily-optimized C rather than in Python/JS than it does with memory tricks, but I'll happily accept correction.

Deductions sound good to people who haven't actually run a business or thought very hard about it. You have to be purchasing stuff to deduct. As a software engineer why not just not buy stuff since all you really need is a computer. Then you keep 100% of that money rather than 10%.

Some outliers are home office and utilities and things like that.

> Our team, without any policy dictating daily development habits, has coalesced around Linux/Android development with iOS testing before release.

Interestingly our team has gone the opposite way (again, no official policy). The deciding factor in our case has been the relative performance of Xcode/iOS Simulator vs Android Studio + Android Emulator. Android Studio on it's own slows my computer down more than Xcode compiling AND the iOS Simulator running at the same time. The Android emulator is all but unusable on my MacBook.

I agree there's a lot of painful bits around signing/release on iOS though.
Tedious to set up, tedious to maintain.

January 31 of this year I got an email telling me that my LE client used the older ACMEv1 protocol, not the newer ACMEv2 protocol. They gave me 4 months notice to update my LE client to something compliant. I burnt the time and did the work.

On March 3 myself and many others[0] got an email demanding that we manually re-issue our certificates because of a vulnerability discovered in the LE service. They gave us one day to comply, after that they would revoke the certificates and our users would receive security errors. I begrudgingly went through all my servers and issued the command to forcibly renew certificates. Not a huge burden for me, but likely a bigger burden for larger operations.

As the feature set grows (new challenge types, wildcard support, etc.) and the service gets even more popular, it's going to be an even bigger target and the effects of a monoculture will really be felt. I'm starting to see the value in paying for certificates, and more specifically, using providers that don't provide a public certificate issuance API (or at least stick it behind a paywall.)

How many times would LE have to accidentally issue gstatic.com or fbcdn.net before they get the Symantec treatment[1]? Too big to fail: It's not just for investment banks. And that should give anyone seeking a decentralized internet pause.

>2 bedroom in Downtown Vancouver - $3250 (presumably CAD, which is ~USD 2400)[3]

This is one of those instances where things get lost in statistics without local knowledge. West Vancouver (part of downtown) is a very nice area a person who makes 200k USD would be happy to live. The Downtown Eastside (also a part of downtown), a short walk from West Vancouver, is littered with used 'insulin' needles, aggressive panhandlers and crime. Mountain View is a suburb (70k pop), Vancouver (700k pop) is the hub the suburbs extend from.

>Not really. It's the equivalent of USD 2.81/gal at a Toronto Costco[1]. It's $2.75 at the Sunnyvale Costco (cheapest gasoline) right now.[2]

Trust me man, gas is more expensive. Look at averages, not the lowest available price at any given time. There are times when you get lucky but overall it is more expensive. The divide gets larger when the commodity price of oil is higher (unlike right now).
Given that there hasn't been a bump from the protests, it seems like outdoor spread is not super common.

It still has a centralized list of the versions of the packages it supports (on github) though, right? I feel like it should be able to get this list with a single HTTP request to the Github API; I don't see why having a faster or slower schedule to update the packages should affect how long it takes to actually download the list of updated packages with `brew update`.
I spent a lot of time in what's currently CHAZ/CHOP as a teen. The police in that precinct have/had a particularly visible habit of blowing red lights. When there are other cars nearby, they flick their lights on momentarily, as if ticking off a minor technicality (though still violating the letter of the law). I've seen cops do that pretty much anywhere I've lived, US or Canada, but it was especially prevalent on the stretch of road a few blocks from the precinct. I saw quite a few near-misses caused by this.

An "honest" cop would see this behavior and report the crime appropriately. But they simply don't hold eachother accountable.
