Google no longer allows users to see deaths in Sweden in their search result UI (it's greyed out as of last week), so now one has to go to government website directly.
Different countries have different methods of counting. In Belgium, suspected cases in care homes are included in the figures, without any testing being done (https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/22/analysis-can-we-trust-be...), so the official figures are an overestimate. In the UK, there are two different figures published. The headline figure is for confirmed deaths (i.e. with COVID-19 being listed as the cause of death on death certificates), but the Office of National Statistics less frequently publishes excess deaths (i.e. compared to previous years). The Belgian per capita suspected death count, which is probably similar to its excess death count, does exceed the UK confirmed death count but is well below the UK excess death count.

The per capita figure in https://multimedia.tijd.be/oversterfte/ for VK (United Kingdom) is for confirmed deaths (62.2 per 100,000). In mid June, the total figure was at 42,000, while excess deaths totalled 65,000, so that would make UK excess deaths 96.3 per 100,000, significantly higher than the Belgian suspected figure of 84.4 per 100,000.

I like how it ended up with five legs--four and a spare. (I.e. once they added the front pair for TESB, the front middle one isn't needed anymore, but they left it.)

And that the main reason it was unbalanced without was that half the ship was not even there. (Other being the cockpit tube.)
This is true even on more recent vintage stuff. Little stutters are far more common on my iPhone XR with iOS 13 than they were on my old 6S Plus, much less the iPhone 5.

If you're proposing a law, and a study says that 12% of people would violate this law, it's a major indication that this is a bad law.
The key feature of capitalism is the economy is defined by capital, i.e. money that makes money, preferably at scale. That didn't exist in any sustained, important way until the early modern period in Europe.
>I have heard that the UK has a system that "shelves" criminal records after a certain number of years, and only employment in certain fields (like law enforcement, childcare, etc.) can view the records.

This is true but it depends on how long the sentence was as after a 4 year sentence you always have to tell an employer about the conviction. It's better than nothing as petty crime shouldn't have serious long term employment consequences but it seems like it doesn't do much for the people that might need it most.

Note, OpenSSH wasn't brand new code on its first release. It was forked from the original SSH software from a version before it went commercial. I can't remember the whole history of that earlier open source project, but I can remember that I installed it on a university workstation in mid 1996.

Trying to imagine someone from France, Australia or Brazil to do something similar and failing.
I see the "content collapse" as a reversion to the historical norm - for most of human history, the majority of people were illiterate and uneducated, and understood little about global affairs. There was a "thinking class" which included the religious, political, and artistic elite, while everybody else was part of the "working class" - effectively peasants who knew little about the world.

The content collapse threatens to destroy the very foundation of Western democratic society - an intelligent, educated public that understands nuance and participates in civic discussion. Instead, it is creating a situation where the masses are subject to the whims of social media, much like the peasants of former times, who were often caught up in religious trends and various mob-like witch hunts.

What is new about our time, is that in democratic societies, the political elite are no longer part of the "thinking class", by necessity, because they have to win votes. Only in autocratic societies like China and Russia do the political elite tend to still speak like an educated elite. It is striking to note that Vladimir Putin spends a lot of his public time talking about detailed points in history like specific events of WWII or even medieval history (see his recent essay on WWII published in the National Interest). Regardless of whether you agree with his interpretation of history, he often talks like a professor, not a politician. Politicians in democratic countries, by contrast, rarely talk about history in nuanced terms because the public is not interested in "boring" details. The inevitable result is the massive "dumbing down" of politics that we see in our time, as the political elite becomes merged with the masses while tech and corporate elites wield the most power.

How do you know that there is a communication going on and in what absolute sense does it occur, without resorting to any certain sense as certainty always comes up short, never converging to actual truth and is, therefore, not suitable for matters of truth. Any meaning given to any instance of language depends on subjective based grammars that give life to words, indeed conforming to a regime of, ultimately synthesized, grammars which don't exist without a subject of self-governing origination. Every measure of consistency requires a necessary foundation, with the foundation always being some imagined standard based on certainty, that commonly found tool of the mind that never really tells you anything. The emprical, material, and even biology and its evolutionary theories? Knowledge of their objects always depends on interpretation and interpretation is always not objective but instead subjective. And for there to be a commitment, there must be a personality. But personality is, logically, dependent on a regime of truth and it is codified by the user of this regime—a mess of endless self-reference, as truth is wont to do. Really, at this rate, I'll eventually converge to the truth that there is no truth, that real truth is not, instead of being is. Indeed, I'm going one truth further.

Look, patterns are important. The same way we failed in jailing people for modest drug possession, is the same way we are going to fail in measuring reciprocity, or more clearly, exact legal justice on sexual harassment, racial discrimination.

I’m interested in fixing patterns.

I’m not going to die on the Al Franken hill. Frat boy behavior in professional context is unacceptable, it will get you over time. In his particular case, I didn’t see any escalation into rape or abuse of power (fuck me or you won’t get this job or promotion - Harvey Weinstein).

We will be accurate in our words, accusation, and judgement, henceforth. We will cut cleanly and carefully, no more chainsaws, we will visit all crime sites, and assess. No more games.

It’s not reasonable to me for someone to suffer outsized social justice beyond the price paid at the moment of sentencing. You take someone like Louis CK, he paid the public shame, and career loss (financial loss). If the transgressions were beyond, such as underage sex (for example), I expect the law to quantify the retribution. Beyond that, I expect him to pay nothing more on a social level.

Name your price, I guess, and nothing more. Let it be paid, and move on. We are not gods that dole out eternal shame.

If you want random access into an array of enums, you need them all to be the same size (there are also alignment concerns, which is why it's tough to use only 1 bit of overhead to discriminate an enum with two variants). I guess you could add indirection and have an enum with variants A(Box<AType>), B(Box<BType>), etc. This is good practice if you care about space and you have a variant with a type that's a few hundred bytes (not heap-allocated like with Vec). But it's not worth adding the indirection and potential cache miss to save a byte, when most cache lines can fit at least 32 bytes.
It's mostly surveill- I mean uh... telemetry and advertising data being passed around by bots.
On possible way to think about it, is to imagine a probability cloud of something else, but made of classical particles. For instance, all of the cell phones in Chicago. Someone like Google can probably compute an average position, such as maybe a center of mass, but also an average speed based on knowing the speeds of all the phones as they're carried about, driven in cars, etc.

Now what we might have done in quantum mechanics class, without thinking too hard about the implications, is to assign mathematical functions to the things that we want to know about the electron using rules of thumb for how to turn functions of classical systems into corresponding functions of quantum systems. Then we apply the "what is your average speed" operator, and out pops a number.

I didn't get very far past the basic quantum mechanics where we were able to compute stuff but were left on our own to speculate about the meaning of the philosophical implications. Then I joined an experimental research team where I was able to think my way through problems using electronics, vacuum pumps, and computer code. ;-)

The pdf is marked 2016 but probably dates from much earlier, so maybe it's best not to put a year in the title.
So it's a pivot from "we're disrupting training software engineers" to "we're connecting freelancers with companies"?
Yes. When you want to do something, you have to get off Google/Facebook and go to a real web site.
One of the goals of the project seems to eliminate all of the ways the current web can violate user's privacy. Without encryption, I dont think Gemini could claim to be better.

For discovering artists, I primarily use YouTube. When I want to listen more to said artists, it's usually Bandcamp where I can find the rest of their discography. Probably my preference for the general Vaporwave genre and their prevalence on that platform has a lot to do with this.
In reality, you’d be very wrong.

You can, but `ssh-keygen` is about as nice to use as `openssl` which practically means you spend a lot of time with your head in the manual. The `step` tools have a nicer UI:

$ step ssh inspect the-cert.pub

Also the post already mentions that using `step` instead of `ssh-keygen` is optional, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to repeat it...
I think this is a reasonable criticism. The post you’re replying to appeals to common sense but I don’t see much reason to believe it would be borne out by facts
Uhhh why France?
I agree wholeheartedly and I hope I can change that soon.

By the way, GalaXynth looks awesome, giving it a spin now.
You can do that with gemini. It will serve whatever MIME type, and you could have a server that serves markdown files.

For that matter you can serve images or whatever binary files as individual requests (that is, not inline with another repsonse).

America is a really really big country. What parts were you talking about? The wealth diversity even within say, California or even Virginia, hell even a tiny state like New Jersey is enormous.

In no places I’ve ever lived has infrastructure been a problem. Crime has been a slight problem, but not much.

Or non-electrified railways. A modern "diesel" engine is actually diesel-electrical anyways, since curiously diesel->electric->movement is more efficient than straight diesel->movement. For a hydrogen-electrical engine you could presumably stick one or two special tanker cars behind it with the necessary tech to keep it cool. The engine could even be dual-mode and use electrification where available (like this one already does for diesel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_ALP-45DP )

For comparison, an ES44AC [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Evolution_Series] carries 18900l of diesel (weighing 15.7 tons), which at 38.6 MJ/l rounds to 730GJ of energy. Hydrogen seems to have a specific energy of 120-142 MJ/kg, using the conservative 120 that's about 6.1 tons of hydrogen, but now for the volume... https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-storage lists "0.03kg/l" as a "system target"... so 6.1 tons is 203,333l. That's 2 conventional tank cars (but those don't have any cooling or pressurization systems.)

(Of course this assumes the efficiency of diesel->electrical and hydrogen->electrical to be similar, which is not the case.)

P.S.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrail & https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200227-how-hydrogen-pow...

Studies seem to indicate that around that many people admitted to or have drove drunk in America for example. Does that mean drinking and driving laws are bad?
Right, you'd have to look up the switches in the manpage if you don't remember them, but that's already the case with the generation portion, which is why the post includes the switches for that. I'm just saying it could have included the inspect switches too.
It's a good idea to explicitly set the "Ciphers", "HostKeyAlgorithms", "KexAlgorithms", and "MACs" options to your preferred values (in your ssh_config and sshd_config files) anyways... but, as a bonus, the issue doesn't affect you if you have (according to the document).

The idea that the US could simply threaten the world’s factory with 4x the population of the US is ludicrous to me. They are top down, focused, and the only problem they had was lack of education, which is solved by time.

The only way for the US to have been able to threaten China without using force would have been to sow political discord and break it up into smaller countries. The US has 330M people, mostly getting older. China has 1.4B. Both have nukes so it’s not in anyone’s interest to engage militarily, and both have sufficient resources to not have to depend on someone else. And both need each other economically.

Funny thing is that my first smartphone was an iPhone but after replacing it 3 times because of dead pixels, I switched to a Samsung Galaxy S3 or 4, can't remember. You're right that the Pixels are lacking in build quality but I think your experience is a bit unlucky like my own experience with iPhones.

I'm a bit behind on the times, but it seems to me that for build quality Samsung is still the best. They've always been ahead with stuff like Super AMOLED, thin bevels (even curved edges), microSD slot, etc. But software matters more to me these days which is why I like the Pixel 3a. It was dirt cheap and has decent microG support. In my own very personal, biased, subjective experience, iPhones have had mediocre build quality and the worst software.
You suggest using a subset of HTTP and list “Users of Big Browser can still read your latest rants.” as the main advantage.

The reply is to your question as to whether ... etymology [is] more important ... than the people who are telling you they find something offensive....
Apparently this was an unpopular opinion so I went back and checked the math. A snorkel is about 18 inches long with a diameter of 0.75 inches. This gives it a volume of 7.95 cubic inches or 130 ml. The poster I replied to suggested, in another comment, that rebreathing volumes as low as 50ml could be problematic. If that were the case you would run into major issues with snorkeling.

I am not saying that there aren't people that have difficulty breathing in masks. I am saying that having difficulty wearing a mask is not normal and you should discuss it with your doctor to find out why.
It's everso slightly lighter after pop presumably (water content is lost), but a little oil would compensate that, presumably? I'm not sure what point you're making??
It's only self evident because you know the answer. How is knowing kilo = 1000 that much different than pint = 2 cups = 16 oz? They're just powers of 2 instead of 10.
Not a belief: it is a definition. If somebody comes up with something useful that doesn't fit, this becomes "classical" computation, and the new kind gets an adjective -- say, "quantum", that's catchy -- and then they both get to be computation.

Defining what you can't prove isn't a dodge. It's the foundation of all rigorous thinking. You can only prove anything within the bounds of a formalism, and anything is impossible only within that formalism. Thus in Einstein Lorentz space, going faster than light is impossible. Out here, it's true only if E-L is right about that. (And we know it's not right about everything, but still maybe -- probably -- about that.)
This isn't about upsampling low-res bitmaps. It is a technique for upsampling the output of a game engine.

The low-res image is itself output generated from a lot of other input the game engine generates. That same input that is already being generated anyway can also be fed into this to improve the post-processing. Finding ways to productively reuse already existing/generated data is the hallmark of any top (graphically) game.

I read a detailed write-up on the graphics pipeline for GTA:V on Xbox 360. It blew my mind how many different ways they reused every single bit that ever hit the RAM. Which explains how they pulled off those graphics on a system with half as much RAM as an Apple Watch.

Who, exactly, without a profit motive, wants the majority of users? I don't want to talk to most people, and I don't want most people to read what I have to say.

I am aware the shares operate like that, and that this is still the case even though he is cashing in enough to run a space program as a hobby. It is nevertheless a bad look for him to run a space program with pocket change while fighting against internal efforts to unionise his workforce.

To steal a cliché from a different sector, I believe that when a corporation is “too big to fail” is becomes a threat to the governments which it operates under and the societies which it operates in. There are many ways to manage this risk, and I am not qualified to study their pros and cons — taxation is a simple solution, and I will accept that simple solutions are probably bad solutions. This does not mean that there are no better solutions.
