Assuming the barrel is an infinite space, and the marbles are small enough to fit in the gaps from an optimal tennis-ball sphere packing:

Not just tennis balls, because after adding all the tennis balls you can, there's still room for marbles to fill in the gaps

Not just marbles, because the optimal sphere packing density is the same whether it's all marbles or all tennis balls. Since all tennis balls wasn't optimal, neither is all marbles.

I figure things get interesting once the ratio between the two spheres gets closer to 1.

(And checking my work, this argument is described in a fancier sciencey way by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing#Unequal_sphere_... )

Moreover, he added, although he wished everyone were equal, “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.”

How Do Data Laws Apply to Web Developers?
You assume here that NYC's numbers went down via some property of the disease, not a lockdown being observed by the whole city along with high mask usage. Letting this "run its course" would spike NYC and the whole US far above 70M cases. We would easily be looking at 500,000 dead at least even with how we've learned to decrease the death rate. That death rate would also go up as we stop flattening the curve, as we saw happen quickly with Texas.

NYC has had decreasing numbers despite large outdoor protests, which had high mask usage. In a week or two there will be some numbers on how Phase II reopening is going in an area with high mask usage as well which should be another good data point.

Here are some actual interesting scenario tools for controlling the virus even as it runs its course: https://ncase.me/covid-19/

As a note, a big factor here is that it appears that antibodies may only last for 2-3 months which breaks some of those recovery models. If that is true, without any mitigation and even with most at-risk people dying off earlier, we could still end up losing .1% - 1% of the population every 3 months until we have a treatment or vaccine. I don't like how those numbers look even if we manage to get a vaccine in 12 months.

I think, it's a bit less arbitrary and the reverse of what you said.

The criterias are the daily number of infections (comparable or less than the EU mean), the testing capability to actually estimate the infections, and the rate of change in infections (past the inflection point).

AFAIK, the covid-19 response in the US as a whole fails on each account.
Possibly due to the reasons you cited.

Finally, the restrictions are reciprocal. Probably not pertinent in this case.

But does AMP makes internet usable on those $40 phones? I have a recent mid-range $200 phone and pretty much the only website the regularly hogs my browser is Google News, which coincidentally is also the only one that uses AMP. It's anecdote, but in my experience AMP (or whatever else Google News does) degrades performance to an amazing extent.

Trick to Hack Mastercards
Thank me later
I was working on a password storage system, and was thinking about how I hate storing user info in the database. I was thinking that you might be able to change the way the username and password are stored on a production database.

If you don't store the username, but only store the hash of username and password you're not exposing usernames if the database is compromised. You have to search every row to see if there is a row with a matching hash, but that seems like a small price to pay.

Then I wondered if you could take it one step farther, and I think you can!

If you store the result of say 15 rounds of hashing in the database to verify things, then you could use the result after only 10 rounds as the basis for an encryption key to decode the rest of that row in the database.

Since hashing is a one-way operation, nobody could take the stored hash and go backward 5 rounds to read anything sensitive in that table without the username and password for each row.

You'd need another table somewhere else with that data not encrypted that way in order to allow password resets.
It’s a meaningless comparison. The 4800H could be a 200W chip if it was “unchained”. Peak burst performance is dynamic in modern CPUs, it’s what you can measure in the real world that matters.

Intel TDP doesn’t include the power usage of DRAM and other IO, or the screen, or WiFi or modem (which may have been disabled tbf).

Geekbench 5 multi core scores are roughly 7400 vs 3300. Let’s say for example that the Thunder cores are half the perf of the Lightning ones. So that 3300 score might be roughly the perf you could get from 4 x Lightning instead of 2 x Lightning and 4 x Thunder. 4800H has 8 cores. Getting a bit over 2x the performance.

But that’s at a TDP of 45W (let’s call it 40W to be more generous). 5W for A13 (well, A13 entire device) vs 40W 4800H. That’s 8x the power draw for 2x performance. Am I wrong?
Wow! such a nice idea and great work by the students. On thing to note is that the modern rebuilt version is not near the original in artistic finishing. For one the original version never intended to show the cogs to the outer world, they may have thought it's either dangerous or ugly.. and had nice carvings in the other side which is visible. Also the the stands too had gorgeous wooden carvings then. Truly was a piece of art then. Wish more projects like this happen.

I love the fact that a field like topology, with all its underlying mathematical complexity, also has a such a beautiful visual aspect to it.

Does anyone know if people try to tackle topology problems from the visual side? Before computers I imagine it wasn’t really considered. But say one is curious about a particular geometry, any researchers just whip it up in software and start contorting things to see what happens?

Beautiful visualization, by the way. Very cool use of Idyll. Watching the sphere evert reminded me of trying to solve those complex wooden burr puzzles.

I agree that search is a key direction for growth in this tooling ecosystem. I don't think a tool should index every visited webpage though. I think knowledge base construction should be intentional and methodology, as the process provides its own value.

I’ve begun building a knowledge base that is built around a Google-search interface but with closed-world assumptions, such that it can only answer questions and provide results that I should know myself.

In this sense it’s another take on “second brain” tools, but to me it’s potentially a novel angle, using search with closed-world restrictions (ie. much fewer documents, personally stored and indexed) and a question-answering focused interface.

Most other tools focus on the authoring side of things, but I want something that will superpower my memory.

It’s all closed source until I get it going well, but I’ve set up http://rememex.org.

Even in Europe (where the GDPR is present) you can't always insist that they delete the data. If there is a legitimate interest, like a legal data retention requirement for transaction billing records, you can't force the covered data to be deleted while that interest remains valid. Also other data can often be acceptably anonymized by removing the linkage with your personal identifiers, rather than truly wiped from existence.

But yeah, a lot of companies don't even do what the GDPR actually requires, let alone what people think it does.
I do not have any particular comment on this gene or the topic of COVID-19, but I have a related question for the experts out there.

Let's say I were to send off to Dante labs and get my entire genome sequenced. Given emerging research like this where someone says "we have identified this specific gene that does so-and-so," does the average geek have any hope of being able to determine if they have a copy of that gene? Or does that type of interpretation require the effort of a trained expert?

How close are we to receiving a personalized genetic vulnerability feed? I'm sure the hypochondriacs out there would sign up in a heartbeat.
I am a researcher and a lecturer in a Swiss university. Switzerland is famous for being expensive, and the reputation is well deserved. However, the price of education for our students is about $1200/year. Which includes famous schools like EPFL (where Scala was born and still developed) and ETH (which contributions to computer science are too many to mention here). The students can e.g. collaborate with CERN researchers as part of their projects. For $1200/year. Available for everyone regardless of their nationality.

The best part is that for many master degrees and some bachelor degrees you can study remotely while living in your own country, only coming to Switzerland once or twice a year.

I don’t know why there are so few American students studying outside the US. (We do have some Canadian and Australian students though).
But the shortage would have been worse ...

A parallel european change between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries was the nature of mounted tournaments. In the thirteenth century, tournaments were not far removed from wargames, occurred over the entire terrain between two villages, and were generally open to anyone who had the panoply and training. By the fifteenth century, tournaments were more of a spectacle, occurred in special jousting lists, and didn't admit participants outside a hereditary aristocracy.

My mother who has severe issues maintaining her oxygen levels and has to be on oxygen while she sleeps wears a mask while she's out and about fine.

I'm guessing the issues people face is less about the masks and more about the sensation of wearing a mask which spikes anxiety levels and causes the sensation of being unable to breath. If Japan can reach near ubiquitous levels of mask wearing without issues especially given their larger elderly population, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Otherwise if they have an actual medical issue that prevents wearing a mask then by all means.
It's news because of why they were turned away.

> At the same time AMP is "faster" because it gets rid of all the nagware and JS crap that the original page has

Google gives preference to AMP content whether the source page is lightning fast or not. I get the frustration with crappy web pages, but a big part of the reason web pages are getting increasingly crappy is because Google and Facebook (and to a much lessor extent Amazon in a weird way) have a stranglehold on the web advertising market and publishers are getting smaller and smaller slices of advertising revenue. AMP increases Google's lock on the market. Since AMP pages can only really be monetized by the publisher, this puts even more power in Google's hands.
> It just hardly seems like much of an inconvenience.

For me, some who has been wearing masks since before it became government mandated (though I recently stopped outdoors unless it’s crowded, as we barely have any cases; and it’s not as if more than 1 in 100 wear one outdoors anyway), masks are the single biggest inconvenience of the whole Sars-CoV-2 pandemic. I become slightly more claustrophobic (when in a store) and it feels like I have slight trouble breathing properly.

As I said, I’m a mask proponent, but I feel like all those statements of "wear a mask, it’s nothing" are hurting credibility.
