Of course there'll be politics on an issue of great social importance. That's supposed to be the point of having a CDC, that they can offer respected, apolitical advice on what we need to do. When they fail catastrophically, we inevitably fall back to the normal strategy for resolving disputes about what our society should do, which is politics.
I'm not sure that "evolving" is the right phrase - unlifted types have always been a part of low-level (generally compiler-specific) Haskell.
You can shop for deals on VPSes at lowendbox.com. But if you're trying to run a business, this is a waste of time. Find a provider which is highly reliable, which can also automatically rebuild all failed infrastructure with no intervention needed. That eliminates 99.999% of the providers out there. You're paying a premium to never have to think about your tech again, so you can focus on the business.

Besides using the free tier and other AWS services which are practically free at low uses, you can use cost effective options like Fargate Spot Instances and EC2 Reserved Instances. I highly recommend Fargate over running instances. Use Lambda with CloudWatch triggers if you need to schedule occasional jobs (or use Fargate's feature for that). Try to avoid heavy reliance on caches, ElastiCache is kind of a rip off. Move as much content to static as possible, use CloudFlare to reduce bandwidth costs. If you're gonna serve over S3, you might as well front it with CloudFront as it's actually cheaper due to caching at the edge, and also more reliable. ALBs are expensive but very useful for APIs as well as autoscaling (if you have to run instances, run them with an ASG, which also means having versioned AMIs)

The bigger school has more people, making it more likely to have some get into FAANG. PSU is huge and some students go on to FAANG, but that wouldn't increase any individual's chances.

If you go to someplace like Stanford or MIT, then maybe those names help you get in due to the prestige, but I don't think Georgia Tech is that level.

Woulda,shoulda,coulda...

We live in a very different world today where someone can get on a plane and spread a virus across the planet in a matter of days. The only hope in containment was that the virus didn't spread easily.

The best solution that I can think of that may have stopped the spread of the virus would've been giving everyone as many N95 masks as needed and make wearing them mandatory. Unfortunately it was far easier to spend 5 trillion $$$ on everything but that. These masks should have been free and available at every street corner of the USA, Subways, Buses, Airports, Supermarkets, etc.

This isn't over and I don't know how it ends, but hopefully we'll come out the other side a little smarter and more prepared for the next one.
I remember explaining this idea to a friend while riding on a school bus as a child. We came to the conclusion that all fictional media must real in an alternate universe. Therefore, anime is real.
Ask HN: Is Edge any better or worse than Chrome on privacy?
I primarily use Firefox, but occasionally I have to resort to Chrome for certain poorly-designed websites.

Now that Microsoft Edge is Chromium-based, is it any better as an alternative? Is the privacy any more respectable, or does it simply replace all the Google phone-homing with the same level of Microsoft phone-homing?

The Reddit admins don't meddle in who moderates what. They'll take action on subreddits against the ToS but if someone's a mod on both /r/EvilShitThatsProbablyIllegal and /r/Kittens it's not something they're going to do anything about — and rightly so, IMO.

It’s just like the whole “no wireless less space than the Nomad, lame” comment. Geeks don’t get it.

But the iPad has had a cellular option since 2010.

My iPad has a 30 day stand by time. When it is in stand by, it still gets notifications, it’s instant on, I can granular control which apps can use cellular data.

It has 10+ hours battery life, it’s light, no fan and faster than most laptops.

It’s the totality of the experience.
Thanks. I was thinking of selling wooden benches but would the shipping be ridiculous? Are there any shipping hacks to keep it affordable?

What you are describing isn’t a situation of refuting arguments. If I tell you that you can’t find the resources you seek because the racists have bugged all your devices and are constantly messing with your search results and reading material, I wouldn’t refute your argument. I would simply be ignoring reality or outright lying. That’s the reason why it’s so easy for a racist to come up with a counter argument to “turns out we are not genetically different): their argument needs only to appeal to a feeling, not be rooted in fact. In fact, the speed with which they come up with counter-arguments indicates mental gymnastics more than knowledge of the subject. Arguments for racism often center around specific “self-evident” truths which if you examine closely turn out to be simply circular arguments. As an example, one argument is that black people commit more crime than white people. If you look at certain statistics a certain way, you could come to that conclusion. But this ignores certain facts. For example, crime is much more strongly correlated with socioeconomic status. A poor white town is going to have just as much crime as an equally poor town occupied primarily by any race. But because white people got a bit of a head start in the US (as in were not bought and sold as property and not worked to death against their will), the median income for a black family is lower than for a white family. And of course keep in mind that most white collar crime is committed by white men who make up the majority of the C level at most corporations. We rarely prosecute that kind of crime even though it can be a lot more damaging (as in murder of one person means a murder charge. Dumping toxic waste into rivers that leads to hundreds of thousands of birth defects and genetic dresses is “white collar” so we fine the company and fire the exec, but nobody goes to prison).

Look closely, and you will find inconsistencies in these arguments. Oh, sure there are plenty of them but none of them seems to really hold up to scrutiny. Few will cite scientific studies (some will go as far as saying that science is censored so you shouldn’t trust it which is an obvious red flag for someone making shit up), and ones that do often misinterpret or misquote it. If you’d like we can try it out: find the best written argument for any of these points of view and we can together break down exactly where the lies and fabrications are.

What I don't understand is why people pop out more kids if they have to pick up another job to pay for them.

You already have 2. Isn't the point of having kids to spend time raising them? Now there has to be a third and you have to pick up a second job so you hardly spend time with them.

You're correct, personnel costs is not the majority of DoD costs. However, their "pay and benefits" take up 40% of it's budget (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_...)

Procurement (the most visible part of the budget we hear about) is 20% of the DoD budget.
Adding a code of conduct of that specific kind ("no being mean about weight" etc) not as a reaction to actual issues you've faced, but from the get go? Yeah, and it's a reliable signal as well. Inclusivity is one of the progressive core tenets.
I literally can't read most articles due do adblock blocker or because they block european visitors.
I partially agree with you, but it's because I have a certain searching method that I'm comfortable with. I use sed/awk/grep quite a bit. The find command is also useful - but with those utilities, I can quickly search for any string or regular expression I need.

If I'm looking for the word cow in a doc that I think is in a folder (even if it's in subfolders), then I can do this:

grep --color=always -r "cow"

(I like setting color to always, and for some reason I'm too lazy to set up an alias so I don't have to type it)

I can get way more complicated by escaping spaces, looking for certain file types, etc.... really this does about the same as grep though - but still interesting:

find -name ".txt" -o -name ".md" -type f | sed 's/\ /\\\ /'g | xargs grep --color=always -n "cow"

Using these utilities, I've been able to find things in lots of lines of code, or lots of lines of md files.

If you imagine that dark matter and visible matter both start out basically smoothly distributed in a big cloud, they'll both tend to collapse inwards. The matter forms a rotating disk because the particles of matter interact through non-gravitational means; so ones that get close can exchange (and cancel!) momentum. But if dark matter only interacts gravitationally, it won't do this; the particles will just fall through the center of the future galaxy, 'passing through' each other (and the matter). Gravitational drag presumably adds some rotation to the dark matter over time; I don't know. But that's how dark matter and regular matter could separate.

>So does dark matter interact with itself outside of gravity?
There are different ideas about what dark matter could be. Some have it interacting through other forces (WIMPs interacted through the weak force, for example), some are purely gravitational. There's always talk of 'dark matter candidates', theoretical or otherwise particles that could plausibly be dark matter.

HCQ was authorized to be used as a treatment, not merely authorized to be used in trials or for compassionate use (as remdesivir was). That’s the scandal in the face of lack of evidence at that time.
Well, I guess there's a little bit of a bigot in everyone! It may sound like an insult but really isn't.
I read the whole article and it is consistent with the parent comment, not yours, in my opinion.

It does mention stupid things done by the Trump administration, but at the end, it describes the CDC failures as "baffling" and presents the blame of an "inept administration" i.e. Trump, as an excuse.

Overall, it seems to be an article about the inexplicable failures of the CDC, with an effort to be "fair and balanced" in covering other factors.
How do you even judge the likelihood of something like that?
for covid in particular? it was widely known generally that masks reduce the spread of that class of virus.
Well. That's the definition of a meme.
I don't think or note about anything important or complicated enough to need a tool like this, but I love this approach for those who want it.

Notes are really just text to edit, so why not use a text editor for notes, especially if it's something you already have open?

For my much more simple notes, mostly lists for things like todos and music to check out, I switched to using a folder of text files in a separate VS Code window, and I couldn't be happier. I used to use Notational Velocity on Mac and then Zim on Linux, but I realized I might as well have a full editor for things like sorting, (un)capitalizing and block selections. I find rich text features and even markdown distracting for my notes, but I could use the latter if I ever wanted. Line folding is great for decluttering, and it lets me stick to under ten topical files. I thought I wanted wiki linking, but really just clickable web links plus multi-file search. Finally, autosave of existing and new, unnamed files is what let me to ditch a notes-specific app.
When I developed a clenching habit, I resolved it by training myself to put my tongue in the correct position in my mouth. It is pretty simple: with your lips closed but your teeth not touching, place the tip of your tongue right where your gums and your two top front teeth meet. That's it. At first it takes effort but once the habit and muscle memory develops it'll happen naturally. This eliminated my bruxism because now my jaw has a healthy resting state.
I went to a proper doctor (UK) in Harley St, specialised in a lot of cosmetic procedures. Paid outside of my health insurance it was maybe £200 total.

Botox in the masseter makes your face longer and reduced the squareness of the jawline for cosmetic purposes. I don’t think it’s safe to keep on going back to do it repeatedly, as your jawbone strength and regrowth is maintainer by the compressive forces of chewing and biting.

In my case, I think it was 60/40 physical/mental. I got into a really bad feedback loop of thinking about the jaw and clenching. The botox made it hard to do that, and essentially I “forgot” the feedback loop.

The results were nearly instant; I’d think maybe 24 hours and it stopped.
If you can't comprehend that hurtful is completely subjective you should not be writing any rules.

> IDK the US that well

If I can offer a piece of advice in that direction, it is to remember that the US is in fact a union of 50 states, and those states actually have a fair amount of power. The federal government, as powerful as it appears to be, really does lack authority in many areas. While they could absolutely have done a 1000% better job leading the response to the coronavirus, it was always going to fall mostly on the states to do the actual heavy lifting. It's the nature of our political system.
If you mean can you use S3 and Route53 etc. while hosting your servers somewhere other than AWS, absolutely - people do that all the time.

However in the Route53 case there are a few automatic integrations that only work with other AWS services. Not that big a deal though.
There are a few more database libraries such as Sleepycat/Berkeley DB that fit the bill. However, sqlite is a lot nicer.
You can’t show that it has zero effect without indefinite numbers of patients enrolled in the study. It hasn’t shown any dramatic improvements in the studies that are there. The rest is a tradeoff between enrolling even more patients into studies to prove small improvements (or not) or to move on and spend resources on finding things that do have a major impact.
So I clench my jaw and infrequently wake up gasping for air (like once a month). Does anyone have any recommendations for a sleep study at home to determine sleep apnea? I don’t feel comfortable going to a hospital right now to get a proper study done.
One of my pet peeves is the way nobody in the Government is caring about safety on air travel.

I had to fly recently and someone near me was using a CPAP.

Study after study shows that CPAP aerosolizes and spreads virus particles much more rapidly than normal respiration. Various Government agencies warn about this.

I've written (FedEx) to the CEOs of United and American. American didn't answer. United says they're required by law to allow people to use CPAP in-flight.

There's no excuse for this. A person who needs a CPAP is already a high-risk for dying if they contract COVID. Do they want to take down everyone else with them?

The United States doesn't have effective federal pandemic laws. The federal government looks to the states to manage their own health arenas and in those states many allow county level health departments to run with the ball. This is how you end up with one state doing x and another state next door doing y. It even gets to the county level with a county in a state doing x and the county next to it doing y during a pandemic. The CDC lost the battle before it began.

It was heartening to see everyone sort of pull together to flatten the curve, but with what has happened during the phased reopenings, you'll never have American citizens do it again voluntarily.

There are similarly magic numbers in the database cost. A 2 vCPU/4GB instance is db.t2.medium which comes to about $35/month on demand, plus 120 GB is addt'l ~$13 so it actually comes out cheaper than the lightsail version, and certainly way below the proclaimed $200.

No matter which way you slice it, America has a very capable blue water navy while China's barely qualifies. They're on tier with India, Italy, and Russia; only capable of force-projection in their neighborhood. Besides the US, France and the UK are capable of global power projection; that's it. And both of those are in NATO too.
