France isn't in NATO.

Edit: ok they are. But they did attempt to withdraw and were only stopped by the 20 year rule. And they still don't have unified nuclear command.

Americans with Disabilities Act may require the airlines to permit CPAP users to travel with the machine. It’s a tough call, but I don’t think “CPAP users are grounded indefinitely” is a fair and equitable position.
There are two types of risks in this field:

1. Approve something too soon. This kills/hurts patients using it.

2. Wait too long approving something. This kills/hurts sick people who are deprived of good treatment.

The classic big FDA flaw is to heavily lean towards type 2 errors, because type 1 deaths lead to bad PR, while no one notices type 2 errors.

So that EMA apparently made a type 1 error here is possibly a good sign!

I've been doing comprehensive tests for five years now, and found that SanDisk and Samsung cards are orders of magnitude better than all other brands. Here's my 2019 update: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2019/raspberry-pi-microsd-...

I've had three Pis running more or less continuously off a microSD for a few years, and none of those cards (same as original) have gotten corrupted. These aren't running zillions of writers per day or anything, but most people's problems stem more from bad power supplies or cheap cards than the Pi's use of microSD itself.
In the main scanner function, a few minor performance squeezing notes I'd like to test:

1. Moving "length := 0" above the for loop, since it's reassigned in all the needed cases.

2. To avoid having an extra "if whitespace[c]", Including the whitespace cases in the main switch statement, even if it means duplicating or moving "s.br.release"?

Or, using a switch statement vs a lookup ("whitespace[c]"), if it must be done.

3. In the switch statement, using multiple assignment (in most cases):

length = validateToken(&s.br, "false")
s.pos = length

//
s.pos = length = validateToken(&s.br, "false")

4. In the String and default cases, inlining the length assignment within the if statement.

5. Returning "s.br.window()[:length]" in each case vs breaking out of the switch statement to return. Even though it's ugly, to avoid one step.

6. I'm curious if any performance could be gained by including more cases for common characters (A-Z,a-z, 0-9), to avoid using the default case. Testing if there is a penalty for using a default case vs more cases, even if it's ugly.

7. Including additional cases for exact values to avoid extra function calls to "parseString(&s.br)" or "s.parseNumber()".

8. I'm curious in some cases, if peeking at the next character with a nested switch statement, could avoid additional iterations or function calls to validate/release.

9. In the whitespace check, peeking for common JSON formatting patterns to avoid iterations. Such as 2 or 4 spaced json, a new line, followed by tabs or spaces etc. Or possibly establishing that the JSON is "probably2Spaced/probably4Spaced" and then peeking more efficiently?

I still don’t understand why the FDA was telling labs not to develop their own tests. After publication of the primers, it’s standard work to create an rtPCR. And being a lab developed test it should be out of the jurisdiction of the FDA.
Thats a really interesting question.

My brother was a Colonel in the airforce, Commander of the 10th Medical Wing. He is a really successful doctor who then led the VA for the state of alaska...

He is now CEO for a hospital in Idaho.

The point is that his life path was truly successful for him through the military and he has added great value to the nation through that experience.

Had he been a minion in a more oppressive style regime, such as China - or North Korea, or even Russia, then I would expect he would have been less effective at being such a positive value to those nations as he is to the US.

And this is due only in a small part as to his ability to have a happy, successful material life here in the US and also raise an amazing family.

Yes. You can do this by: Building lots of products and launching them and reaching out to people who are looking for contractors online and sharing similar/relevant products you're launched.

It sounds like you're describing the classic problem for getting started in a new career (no work experience & jobs like experience). The numbers likely won't be pretty for trying to get clients. For example, I know someone who is a self taught designer, and very good too, and had to apply to 100+ jobs in this market to get 5 interviews, and then had an offer from 1 and decided to end the process and take the job. Those numbers can be discouraging but it only takes 1 yes to get that first real work experience, and from there it only gets easier.

I think if I were the CEO I'd have even more on my mind than managing servers.

I totally get that it can be cheaper to do things yourself. And I also get that sometimes you literally can't afford to go the easier route.

But I also think a lot of people of forums like this overly discount time spent or even just distraction that take away from doing the many other things you could be working on as part of a business.
At nearly three-quarters of a trillion, the DoD budget is difficult to ignore. It had bipartisan support. It has not made us any safer.

It's not fingerpointing. It's simply a perfect example of a system and priorities gone sideways. It's a 700 billion gorilla that continues to bloat because saying otherwise is considered to be unAmerican, etc.

The narrative of not talking openly about the DOD budget needs to change.
It seems that successive administrations have lost sight of the benefits of soft power and only go for the hard version instead. Having world-leading institutions with the ability to advise other goes a lot further, for a fraction of the cost.

Courtesy of Hollywood (more soft power, but with a more dubious pedigree) there is no situation where the CDC does not, absolutely, have it's shit together. For the price of a single aircraft carrier you could probably make that a reality.
There is a huge disparity here that needs to be addressed.

The Pentagon can’t pass an audit for decades, $7 Trillion just in the last 10 years unaccounted for. Yet we increased the annual military budget by $100B a year in 2018 alone.

Meanwhile we say we can’t afford these other programs.

If national security is a priority then why this mentality? Given such a mentality, the military should probably just subsume the CDC or something, just so the politicians can fund CDC as part of “the military”.

The root cause though is this obsession with growing the largest fighting force and largest employer on the planet. We have 30x more bases than the rest of the world combined! The same people who say they want to see smaller government and hate central planning tell us to open our pocketbooks to keep giving more, more, more to continuously operate in 80 other countries.

Then when we ask why can’t we have money for better education and healthcare to cover all our own citizens like European countries, they turn around and tell us the reason those countries can afford it is that we protect them. Well if that’s true, how is that America first, I wonder?

Nothing makes sense.

I suppose you would've preferred to be an American pilot dropping nuclear bombs on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
France was a member of NATO from the very beginning. In the 60s France had some manner of dispute with the rest of NATO and disassociated themselves in some capacity, but technically remained a member. Since 2009, French/NATO relations have been largely normalized, I think with the exception of how the French government chooses to control France's nukes.

> Edit: ok they are. But they did attempt to withdraw and were only stopped by the 20 year rule. And they still don't have unified nuclear command.

Be that as it may, I don't think Americans need an expensive navy to protect themselves from the French.

In my case, I think Docker voids the need for virtualenv. But a quick google search returns interesting results [1]

I do know setting up a proper user in Docker is just a couple lines away in a Dockerfile (As a matter of fact, I did that for the main app I develop).

For my other use cases, I just don't care. I'm using Docker to quickly bootstrap a Jupyter Labs environment, and I do that by sharing some confs (Like the Pip cache folder).

The caveat to this is that files I create are owned by root, but that again is just a command away for fixing (If I need it, that haven't yet).

Hm, yes and no. Ethical hacking is bounded by "scope". Organizations specify exactly what is allowed and what isn't. Also, the general guideline is that you must stop once you reach data.

An ethical hacker will find out your door is open and warn you without going inside. If they go in and steal, they're not a white hat hacker.

And if you have an open door with something interesting inside, a black hat hacker will eventually find it anyway.

Given that almost all JSON applications are going to be IO bound (reading from disk, or more likely, network) then what’s the fascination in making super-fast JSON decoders, beyond the engineering challenge? Sure, it’s an overhead to the processing you’re actually interested in, but I hardly imagine that it’s in “straw that breaks the camel’s back” territory.

Inclusivity is core to democracy, and to call that progressive in 2020... Its just doing your due diligence in the face of software dev now being done by an ever diverse population. Any association will have house rules, often with very similar stipulations, and now software projects are doing the same, such that the wheel doesn't have to be reinvented.

Great points indeed.

As for your proposition - I agree. A simple way to do this would be to have, for example, a day a month where the organization's engineers try to break into their own system.

It's common to write tests and follow best practices here and there, but developers often won't actually dedicate some serious time to actively try to break into their own system as an attacker.

I think this could be fun and beneficial for all involved.
The situation on /r/canada is heartbreaking. Over recent weeks, almost every attempt to post a news article involving civil rights or anything overtly related to Black, LGBTQ+ or Indigenous issues has been immediately zeroed down, and in many cases then removed by a mod (their favourite method is to just hit the "dupe" button on all posts about a given news item or opinion piece, claiming they're all dupes, and not leaving one up).

If you make the mistake of discussing this on any other Canadian related sub where the /r/canada mods frequent, they'll ban you for life and say that you were "brigading."
At first I kinda found the idea of an Aether Pro (and I'd go so far as to say using the "Pro" moniker is rather misleading as it's kind of an entirely different product altogether!) existing kinda iffy, but after reading up what it truly was I think it makes sense to have something similar to that and avoid many common pitfalls when it comes to securing funding for an open source project, so kudos for that!

I do think both decentralized and federated platforms can coexist just fine. They serve slightly different needs and both provide alternatives to the centralized platforms that pervade the Internet these days.

This all seems like trump supporter fantasy. It’s “not even wrong”, if signing up to an investment bank got Australia a sweet deal, then they’re glad they did it. There’s nothing more to that. People are dropping huawei because of US pressure, not because of human rights. Trump has no real China policy, he started a fight he didn’t understand to distract from his failings and then lost that fight. Seriously, who can take the author seriously? Are they just relying on MAGA feelings so no one questions their weird, counter factual narratives?

There are a minimal number of excess deaths now associated with COVID, so what is the problem? Allowing the community to acquire immunity naturally during Summer is a good way to minimise the spread of the virus come Winter. COVID severity seems heavily linked with Vitamin D levels, so lockdown during Summer would possibly have been counter-productive for the general population.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Why should Governments force people into lockdown for a virus with a CFR of 0.26%, marginally more deadly than the Flu at 0.1%? In particular, COVID deaths are concentrated at those aged 70+ with existing health conditions, so broad-scale lockdown and enforced mask wearing doesn't make sense - when targeted support for the elderly and vulnerable would be effective and less disruptive.
Actually, most Quad9 users (in so far as we know, since we only know from those who contact us) are already running their own local caching resolver, and many of them are doing QNAME minimization, which is excellent. They use us to keep their cache misses from going in the clear, and because many of them have small enough user populations that their resolver still exposes individual user behavior.
Great points! I also use Zotero extensively. I used to store files on Box previously because of WebDAV but they dropped that support a year or two years ago.

Now I pay for unlimited storage on Zotero. This is for two reasons: 1) They recommended supporting them by buying storage rather than donating directly. Maybe it has changed now but I continue with my subscription, 2) I have several co-authors with whom I share my documents. Most of them don’t have a paid Zotero subscription. But shared folders don’t eat up their personal storage limit unlike Dropbox.
> The difference here is, Roam and similar services run on servers that cost money monthly. The service is almost worthless without it. Ultimately someone needs to pay for this.

that is also a downside though. which side of the coin wins depends on the customer. I rather use icloud/dropbox and apps then an unencrypted web version. Roam decided to implement a web app, the actual use case does not require a server or monthly maintanance costs.
Research, Writing, and Work Advice
Thanks! And the answer to your question is yes, absolutely!

Hopefully quite soon (we already have a working demo) we will introduce "card pages", which will be public (or semi-private, it'll be configurable) pages that represent either a card itself or that card's children. These pages can then be embedded into any other webpage.

The idea is to both support behavior akin to embedding a tweet, where you are just viewing a singular card as a card, but also to allow people to effectively create "documents" on Supernotes (that can then be shared publicly) by displaying the children of a card in "seamless" mode, so that even though it's actually a bunch of cards under the hood, it'll look like a blog post, or wiki article, or readme, or whatever.

Every card on Supernotes will be able to have multiple pages, so that you can have a truly publicly-facing representation (which might limit how people can interact with it) but simultaneously embed your card somewhere else that is semi-private (like a Notion doc for your team) and allow people to actually interact / edit the card from there.

Yes, Chrome and other Chromium browsers are faster than Firefox, but you probably don't need those speed for personal browsing, like reading hn, blogs, news sites, etc.

These days I use Chrome for work-related purpose only, i.e. for accessing webapps. For webapps, browser speed is absolutely matters so I stick with Chrome for now. But for personal browsing like social media, news, and browsing random stuff on the web, I stick with Firefox on all my devices. I don't use Chrome for personal browsing anymore for years and haven't notice any issue related to performance so far, because all stuff that requires a fast browser are usually work-related (at least on my case).

I'm honestly completely mystified what this service is. You say:

"Upload a video" - upload a video of what?
"Set a target location" - a target location of what?

Then you give a sample gif which does nothing but confuse me more.

Who is this for? What does it do? Why is it better than the alternative? Is the video generated automatically? If so, how? If not the why am do I need your service at all?

From what I can tell, you upload a video and then create a link for it? Why not just upload the video to YouTube or streamable? It also displays a map with a pin. Why would I not just sent a link to Google maps? You also ask me for my location - why?

I get that it's your first product but I really think you need to look at this from the point of view of someone who knows nothing about the service.
