According to that article, Italy was including high blood pressure as one of those "other illnisses." Bolsonaro is a 65 year old Brazilian, it's very possible he has high blood pressure and may not be considered healthy. Blood pressure is a significant health concern in Brazil (not that Brazil is special in this respect, many countries have problems with blood pressure).

Edit to address your question about why there is hysteria over this: Because normally people with minor health complications can live just fine. Sure, a smoker might get winded if they run, and a diabetic might have to watch their diet, but most people can live a normal life even with a minor health issue. Now all of a sudden we have a disease going around that significantly raises their chance of dying. So if everyone in your family is perfectly healthy and you only rely on other perfectly healthy people at the places you work and shop, then it might seem overblown. But for many people we have relatives that could be at risk if they catch the disease or our livelihoods could be impacted if people are dying around us. I don't think we should be "hysterical" but there is cause for concern.
Even more impressive when you consider that the robot built PS4 is by far the easiest PS for a human to disassemble and reassemble by hand.

Current rates on the network are $0.70 per TB, cloud to user. Many of the nodes are serving bandwidth from unlimited connections, either at home or from cloud providers like Hetzner.
They previously removed the restriction. Stolen from another comment:

> See this guidance from March: "Given the extraordinary nature of the COVID-19 emergency, SEVP will allow F-1 and/or M-1 students to temporarily count online classes towards a full course of study in excess of the limits... This temporary provision is only in effect for the duration of the emergency" Absolutely nothing substantive has changed since then, but ICE has apparently changed its mind.

Having worked with Nokia Networks as a customer on Wireless core networks, I don't believe some of these conclusions are safe.

Although in concept I agree, they are and will continue to be a major player for the foreseeable future, I suspect some of your other conclusions may be conflating separate entities.

I don't know about area's becoming ghost towns, but I do know some areas have been impacted, and may be coming back with a startup culture that is up and coming. Overall I don't have good insight though. We had professional services come over from Finland in many instances, but as I recall all the product lines we were using were developed in other european countries and India. After the Alcatel-Lucent merger, they're also picking and choosing products to keep and killing off teams from what I've heard (or in some cases trying to merge products).

I don't think it's safe to assume what was sold to Microsoft carries over to other business units. The remaining networks business units were not part of what got sold off, and was already a conglomerate of mergers and acquisitions. I'm sure all business units have some compelling products however.

And I won't comment on the Finns or their country, I have absolutely no insight.

My experience with Nokia Networks equipment though (only indirect experience with RAN equipment), is in general it's not something I would want to choose to buy. Stood up against their competitors though with similarly rough solutions, it might still be the winner, but I know there will be lots of specific pain involved with Nokia's wireless products. The docs are rough, and things like upgrades are not really meant to be run by customers (Nokia commonly runs the networks for their customers, we had a different and more hands on culture). The configuration of the system is effectively managed by giant excel documents and obscure tools, leading to lots of lost/missing configuration updates, and a lack of source of authority in configuration data (upgrades use excel, running system uses local data). I'm slightly out of date and they've been promising to get rid of this forever, but that was the state of affairs a couple years ago and the last rumour I heard is it wasn't gone yet. With some of their competitors, we solved really obscure bugs, problems that affected 0.000001% of customers per day, with Nokia it was just so much harder and longer to solve any issues, I wouldn't even dream of being able to solve the rare problems.

What Nokia was good at, is when the product was running, it was fairly stable, so while operating it wasn't fun, the parts I worked with were stable, and seemed relatively well designed and high performance. With the mergers in the telecom industry, if you want one or just a few vendors, Nokia is a competent choice that you can build your entire network off of. The products I really enjoyed working with in the space though, none of them came from Nokia.

It's free to you if you make a peer to peer model. Honestly my peer to peer streams are more robust and higher quality than Netflix et al, which usually hiccup and drop quality down to 144p while the p2p stream keeps on plucking at 1080p for the entire run time. Maybe it's p2p buffering more at the start, maybe it's maximizing my available bandwidth, but either way, it is a better experience than what the big players offer and can be done by anyone without huge costs associated with CDNs.

So while there are lasting effects on some who are infected, the vast majority probably handle it totally fine, there are probably more people who have had it than we previously thought, especially considering we're changing our assumptions on how contagious it is, and we're all going to get it anyway right?

Very cool! I can see this being especially useful for communicating status of some process status, like for example, # of tests run today, outcome, etc.
Firing people for expressing "distasteful" views publicly is nothing new. In 2003, MSNBC fired the host of their most popular program, Phil Donahue, for expressing his opposition to the Iraq War.

> An internal MSNBC memo warned Donahue was a “difficult public face for NBC in a time of war,” providing “a home for the liberal antiwar agenda at the same time that our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity.”

Fortunately for Phil, he was well-off and probably wasn't relying on the income.

With at-will employment, companies have enormous leverage over their workers' freedom of expression and it's disappointing to see this letter with some ostensibly "left" signatures attached leave that consideration untouched.
Interesting, if you end up writing a follow-up article, it would be nice to include this kind of information, and why you (seem to have) decided against using ULMFiT in this case.
Sure, but it was Bannon and Trump who brought that sort of thing into electoral politics. Barack Obama was constantly telling college students and "cancel culture" that they'd gone too far and needed more civic spirit and respect for others' liberties.
So I didn't read all the links, but Glenn's letter is just absolute projection on his part. He claims the letter sent out to staff and students treated unestablished facts as established and then does nothing to say how they are unestablished. It might be cringey to post the requisite BLM statement, but its not inaccurate. I see a lot of comments on this thread claiming censorship with no evidence or introspection of why certain things are being called out. J.K. Rowling is a terf through and through. I am sorry, but claiming that a letter talks too much about race is one of the most fragile things I have ever seen. This is an uncomfortable moment for lots of white people, but we need to live with it instead of instantly buck against it and hide in "intellectual rigor."

No, they're going to transfer to a school that's still holding in-person classes. Many international students do not have the money/internet access/stable home situation to go home and continue taking classes.

Here's one major problem off the top of my head: what if you're from China or Iran and your school uses G Suite for Education? Accessing classes from home would be literally illegal.
Great idea! The video on the homepage is very useful; have you thought about linking to some examples?

I don’t know if that would work. The whole reason for the on-site requirement is to avoid or clamp down on Visa scams. And a loophole like that is exactly what a scam school would do.
Bitcode is architecture-dependent, you can’t just recompile it for a random target. Additionally, Mac AppStore apps are shipped without Bitcode.
Minor nit: I believe H1B transfers for people already in the country are still being processed. But your broader point of the US government actively preventing global talent from entering the country stands. Very sad indeed.
It was clear back in February too. "Stop buying masks, they don't help." Then in April the consensus did a 180.

Surely every person involved should simply be turning to the people above/before them in the chain of command and saying "this is impossible, we need to be more flexible now". And whoever is blocking that escalation is reasonably part of the problem.
The top post on their new site right now says that "Donald Trump is our last and only hope" and encourages readers to "VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT DOES." I think this is an extreme viewpoint by any reasonable standard; the vast majority of people don't expect they're going to die if the wrong person wins an election.
Italy considering forced hospitalization for Covid-19
Maybe a closer variant would be a Democratic POTUS trying to argue that conservatives unabashed support for police justifies a greater expansion of state policing powers. But it doesn't quite feel right as an analogy because supporting police powers has generally been the status quo no matter the prevailing party. Whereas the leftist purported push to censor or bully speech doesn't feel anywhere near an entrenched status quo, even if you really think Twitter is real life.

It helps to write a hello world for every hot new tech out there. Not to follow trends, but to actually be knowledgeable enough to have a valid opinion. Think of yourself as a radio station who has to buy or at least sample every popular track. Crystal is hot? Set up a web server and connect to sql. Set up a Vert.X server and write a consumer. Set up a simple neural net with torch, train it a little, load it in java. These all take an hour max each day. An hour well spent compared to scouring books for managers in order to deduce some insight on how to manage people. Developers will appreciate and respect you when you know their job at this precision level and it will make your job a lot easier.
There are many good papers that would not fulfill your requirements. I agree that ideally they would go through several revisions until every detail is fixed, but rejection levels would skyrocket. We would not have many great papers.

I am not too familiar with the AI field, but I know that at least in my field the quality is very often too poor. We have to try to improve it. But if I rejected every paper I review because every detail to replicate it is not there, I would have rejected 99% of them. And some of the ones that eventually got accepted were very valid and very useful papers, and replication not so important after all.
How about the community you lost due to a fake copyright claim or policy claim? Friends, followers, messages, ...

We desperately truly worldwide, encompassing, independent, standardized-so-that-anyone-can-communicatio-to-everyone p2p social networks.

Not only that but the president of the supreme court changes every 2 years and it's always a very predictable election with the oldest member taking office unless the person has always done so in the past (and the whole process restarts after the last one, if they ever live enough as we have 10+1 justices and they are also required to retire after they are 75).
One point of flattening the curve is so people won't die waiting for a hospital bed to open up. Some of those people would have died anyway, but not all of them. Even supportive care like oxygen and intubation does actually seem to save some lives, and doctors are getting better at it with time.

Additionally, treatments are getting better. Do you want to get sick in 6 months when everyone can get remdesivir and Regeneron's antibody therapy[0], or do you want to get it during a spike where you can't even be treated?

Acknowledge this happened, clarify what changed, be honest if and how the new state of affairs compromises privacy and under which circumstances (if any) it affects E2E chats.

In 1789, the year of ratification of the U.S. constitution, smallpox was still a lethal disease.

Preventative treatment for smallpox was a procedure named "variolation," which involved purposeful infection with smallpox by a scratch.

Variolation had a 3% fatality rate; normal transmission of smallpox was 15-20%.

A person who had recently undergone variolation could transmit the disease normally, and definitely required isolation.

George Washington required all members of the continental army to undergo variolation in our rebellion against the British.

The United States has faced enormous pressure from disease, and no mark of this is in the first amendment.

(p.s. I am surprised that we have not attempted the equivalent of variolation with ancestors of the current corona virus.)

Why was the “very” removed? It sounds so much better like that.
The missing context on your comment is that the CIS is a hate group according to the SPLC, which is among other heinous things in favor of the family separation policy, a crime against humanity.
The problem with JKR in particular, is that she is "speaking out" against a group of people who are extremely oppressed, and using outdated / debunked info to do so.

Because of who she is, and her massive audience, this does real damage.

A person's right to even exist in society shouldn't be up for debate.
I mean, China just has more people. If you look at per capita numbers, China has barely 2x the number of enrolled students as France (and the US is not really a target market for french students).
Red Hat to remove contentious terms like master and slave from its source code
I think the answer is pretty straightforward to me. If the internet hadn't been what it was then I probably couldn't even communicate with you, because I would never have picked up enough English to do so. This is just one effect of so much of the internet being freely accessible. If payment had been required I probably would've stuck to my native language sites, if I had used the internet/computers at all.

I think the internet providing so much information for free is what made it so amazing. I understand that it's not really free, but it's at no monetary cost to the user. The moment you slap a monetary cost on it you create a disincentive for the user to engage with the service.

I do understand though that nothing is free. We are probably going to pay a large price as a society for it.
So instead of investigating visa mills, lets kick students out of US who are attending Georgia Tech? What was the saying about throwing the baby with the bath water..
The US allows over 1 million immigrants per year. Maybe less the past year, but still extremely high on an immigrant per capita basis.

H1B was being abused and needed to be reigned in.

There are still plenty of people coming into the country through various means, the US is still extremely generous with immigration.

There are plenty of qualified citizens here and in the zero sum game that is hiring national immigration policy should put their needs first before anyone else's.
ICE generally is not fond of people circumventing the rules. You'd basically be taking your students' tuition and then rolling the dice to see how badly they get punished by ICE, possibly including imprisonment, deportation, and a lifetime ban from the US.
Oh this is a good idea! Let me do that.
I had a similar first thought. A 0 credit, single class (1 hour per semester), in-person lab classes would reduce the 100% online to ... not. I wonder if there's rules in place to prevent this.
You're talking about things like dependency injection. I'm not a huge fan of testing but "testable code" when written in a certain way (without dependency injection) actually has many external benefits that don't have to do with testing per se.

Really the way you need to structure your program is to divide functions in your code between things that can be unit tested and can't (IO calls).

This can easily be done without dependency injection which is likely what you're complaining about.

For example Don't do this:

#unit testable with mock (Bad!)
function add_one(key: str, database: Database):
return database.get(key) + 1

Or.. even worse:

#Unit testable with mock (Bad!)
class Adder
Adder(database) -> None {
this.database = database
}

add_one(key: str) -> int {
return this.database.get(key) + 1
}

Do this instead:

#IO function, Not unit testable
def get_database_value(key, database) -> None:
return database.get(key)

#Unit testable without mock! Good!
def add_one(value: int) -> int:
return value + 1

#IO function, not unit testable.
def composition(key: str) -> int:
return add_one(get_database_value("name"))

This is great feedback, and I believe the solution is to be even more transparent. I was thinking of adding some FAQ after the pricing to give people some insight and increase the trust level.

So far, no conversions yet. I can only conclude that the current format is indeed not the right one. Trust in the service can indeed be a problematic one.

I'm going to individual approach now: Reach out to people on IndieHackers who wrote about their idea, and browse around here (although, I think people will be in a later stage).

I'll be sure to get back when I have an update! :)
If bad actors act just left of the rules violations, change the rule. Google is a private company, not a government. They can change their content policy 20 times before lunch if they wanted. Making things vague hurts legitimate channels more than anything.

Like most people who get infected, its very unlikely he is going to die from this, he'll recover and move on.

It's a notable omision all right. Maybe the author felt that the more-widely-known Al Gore was filling the story's human-interest quota.
I find useful to transform percentages to population scales. In your case, 99.4% recovery rate equals a 0.6% fatality rate. That translates to 1 fatality for every 166 people infected. Think about your social circle, how big is it? How many people there would be affected?
This is true for a 300-person Physics 101 lecture, but many many classes are discussion-based and don't work asynchronously.

This is now the second article or so on the HN front page that attempts a vigorous defense of free speech but then immediately undermines that by spending ink on Trump. Modern conservatives aren't responsible for cancel culture and elected Trump precisely as a counter-reaction to cancel culture. The attempt to unify progressives and classical liberals is weird to me, as I see the far left evolving into something resembling a puritanical religion. If you want a moderate middle of the road that respects all sides of debate and discussion, then center-right and center-left should unify against the extremes. Nothing else will work, in my opinion.
