I've had good experiences with hypnotherapy, the most effective being a self-recorded audio. I took a more or less standard hypnotherapy text from Brian Alman and Peter T. Lambrou's book and adapted it to my needs. Experiencing my past self wishing me well, encouraging me, calming me was quite a bit more powerful and trustworthy than any abstract 'radio voice'.

Well worth the time to try and record it yourself, for yourself.
Don't think so. They used to use Cloudflare but stopped. To my knowledge, it's a single server without a database (using the filesystem as a database).
What it was founded on is not really relevant.

It does not represent Adam Smith, who disliked rentiers:

> “As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed and demand a rent even for its natural produce.”

They do not make their prospectus visible. If you do not subscribe you cannot even read their principals. In any case writing one thing down and doing another is very common. The Economist is obsessed with financialisation and cheer-led the utter mess the UK and USA are in for decades.

Obviously it's up to each person if they continue to read it. I dispute it's quality, I think it's neoliberal propaganda and nothing more.

I can't say for sure but it was my impression that many of these students don't have parents at home during the day. The school system my gf works for is in an area with several meat processing plants, which I assume are considered essential. There are also many undocumented workers in that area. For those who were doing jobs that weren't considered essential, they probably can't rely on being able to collect unemployment and had to go find other work. It's a lot to ask of middle school age children to be self motivated especially if their friends around the neighborhood were outside playing or coming over to hangout, regardless of lockdown orders or not.
Cloudflare is free and has a nice UI. I manage ~40 domains from ~six domain registrars through it, the consistency is great. The caching is a bonus.
Do you have citations for those studies?
I'm sorry, but a plain English reading of those Terms and Conditions shows that any users using 3rd party apps violates the terms.

They are "accessing ... part of the Service or Content [without being] expressly authorized."

To make it concrete, as an example, a user using youtube-dl is violating the terms. Not the makers of youtube-dl.
DNS is far less of a single point of failure and more decentralized than cloudflare. Nameservers can and are operated redundantly via simple, resolver-side round-robin scheduling and the TLD servers should have longer TTLs that allow plenty of caching. The rootzone even has anycast thanks to using UDP. Take a moment to look at DoH and laugh.

You can also also register your domain on multiple TLDs.
actually you could go further and say:

- Apple doesn't let you secure your OWN device. Apple does not give you permission to run a firewall or any other app to do your own security.

- Apple doesn't allow you to see what your phone is doing. You cannot see what apps are running, when they are running or what data is being sent where.

- Apple encumbers your data. It doesn't provide an alternative to icloud. Why not a personal icloud, self-hosted on macos. Why not even a time-machine backup of your phone? Apple could make it easy, but instead they try to upsell you on more icloud storage.

The question of it being "clickbait" aside, I find the title a bit odd. I can’t see any language that "You've Never Heard Of" as being a possible Python substitute. In my mind, one of the single largest reasons for using Python is how ubiquitous it is and how large the community is.

Virtually any question or problem I run into with Python's core libraries or language features is answered in detail by the first Google result. It's getting rare to not find a reasonably well documented Python binding for any given library, and many projects have official Python bindings. It's almost trivial to find an example of how to do virtually anything in Python.

Any language could be argued as an alternative to Python, but very few can be a substitute for it given the scale of investment and mind-share Python has.
Should we go lower than 24 dollars? Sincere question.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann%27s_entropy_formula#...

According to Wikipedia, if you start with the Gibbs entropy (which is the same as Shannon entropy), and then assume all microstate probabilities are equal (which Boltzmann does), you get the Boltzmann entropy formula. It also says Boltzmann himself used a p ln(p) formulation.

So aren't they the same, perhaps up to a constant factor?

Shelter in place works everywhere except in America, which is always special.

And if people go to buy food, that totally negates lack of contact everywhere else, including restaurants, concerts, offices, schools, sport clubs and so on.
This isn't quite true, yes the Republican party has some pretty clear pro-business idealogy that hurts the citizens. No doubt. But it was a Democratic party that pushed for the hollowing out of american businesses to overseas locations and bailed out a morally bankrupt wall street with no public consequences other than a federal reserve patch job
That makes sense. The curly braces do help to identify immediate blocks but I guess the problem is that blocks are too big and can’t be identified in a single screen. Although usually easier said than done

So there is theory and practice. In theory, public health is a purely state issue. In practice, it’s a mostly state issue. But there is a real legal limit here: the federal government has no general police power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_power_(United_States_co...

> In United States constitutional law, police power is the capacity of the states to regulate behavior and enforce order within their territory for the betterment of the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of their inhabitants.

This is not an unusual principle. Germany has a similar principle, which is why Angela Merkel didn’t issue a mask order either.

The federal agencies are best understood as having a coordinating role for when inter-state issues are involved. This CDC PowerPoint (which predates Covid) explains: https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/phl101/PHL101-Unit-5-16Jan09-S...

See the first bullet on Slide 8: “State and local governments carry out most communicable disease surveillance and control under the police power.”

See Slide 10: “Most powers for public health surveillance, investigations, and interventions derive from state and local law.”

The federal government provides “expert public health assistance” and regulates “disease carriers who cross state lines.”

So when we talk about things like tracing protocols, where does that fit? The CDC can provide expert advice about what sorts of testing protocols are effective. But the state governments must actually develop and execute the surveillance and intervention: testing patients, quarantining them, etc. The federal government is supposed to assist insofar as patients might move between states.

This is how everyone has always understood the division of labor in public health to be set up. Countries like Germany have similar legal structures, and have managed just fine. Even countries like Japan, where the central government does have a general police power, still delegates things like testing because the local governments are more nimble.

Only in America would be ignore the clear division of labor that’s in place during a pandemic.

Except for your NYT article, these are all pieces from more than 2 months ago. And the NYT has been exceptionally poor at reporting on covid with an even hand. What it fails to mention is that though Sweden's economy will contract by the same amount as it's Scandanavian neighbors, about -8%, it's a huge win compared to UK/Italy/France which will contract by 22-30%.

src: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-16/one-econo...

It's irresponsible to believe that journalists and editorial organizations are able to cut through their own emotions and biases during what is one of the most tense times in recent history. Everyone has an opinion. The only thing without an opinion are the data.

For Sweden that data is pretty great:
- 15 deaths in the past 7 days
- ~1200 cases

src: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/

If you only want to compare Sweden to its neighbors you're cherry-picking what you want your argument to say. Sweden's strategy divorced them from their neighbors and put them in the boat with us. We are apples to apples. Sweden to Norway, when they took up the strategy, became apples to oranges. Since we are both of the same strategy it's entirely reasonable to point to Sweden and say "hey, it's about as bad there as it is here and they didn't go hard lockdown and kids are still in school".

It's not like we can go back in time and follow New Zealand. That ship sailed five months ago.

To get a real look at the data I strongly recommend people get on Twitter and follow any of these accounts to get a good grasp on the overall situation as told by the numbers and as a bonus you'll get:
- how deaths are reported and what that means for the narrative
- cases and their level of significance
- hospital census, dwell, and coding

Honest and serious question, if Youtube were to shut down tomorrow, do people think that whatever alternative (or even better, competing alternatives) would have a different model?

I'm curious to know what exactly would you do differently if you were to make a replacement for Youtube.
The science behind Caffeine [audio]
All the major cloud infrastructure providers have had outages of varying severity at one point or another...it's something you'd want to take into account for, say, a system that remote controls life-critical devices, but likely isn't worth the engineering time and added complexity for a productivity or social app with a small userbase. Working on many of the latter over the years I've generally said "well if {major cloud provider} is down, the internet is going to be all messed up for a bit anyway, so we'll accept the risk of being down when they're down, and reassess whether that keeps making sense as we grow."
At least 30 teachers have died of COVID in NYC alone. That seems significant for a viral outbreak that is nowhere near containment or exhaustion, and if I was a teacher over 40 I would have serious reservations knowing it is extremely likely I will almost certainly catch the virus eventually.

But you can say the same for tons of occupations - flight attendants, cashiers, barbers. People will either be ignorant/dismissive of the risk or forced to take risk to feed themselves. I think the real change will have to be less preciousness/protectiveness of the value of human life, sadly.
Kudos to the people at Discord. Just a few minutes after I got disconnected they already tweeted about the issue. Some minutes later and they have a message in their desktop app confirming it's an issue with Cloudflare. All while Cloudflare's statuspage says there are 'minor outages'.
The problem with examples like this is that simple FileIO operations are optimized across all languages. It would likely have similar speed in very naive unoptimized Python.

Here is an example:

Given `create_csv.py`:

with open("output.csv", "w") as csv_file:
for i in range(1_000_001):
csv_file.write(",".join([str(i)] * 100)) # creating 100 columns per entry out of a million
csv_file.write("\n")

and `search_csv.py`:

import sys

for row in open("output.csv"):
if "1000000" in row.split(","):
print(row)
break
else:
sys.exit("row 1 million not found!")

With the first script creating a 1 million line csv with each row containing 100 columns, and the second one being a worse case search (has to make it all the way to last row, has to search every column). The performance is better than what you mentioned on commodity hardware, very unoptimized Python code, and default Python3 installation:

time python3 create_csv.py

Same. Had to go through the entire troubleshooting process --- is it my internet connection? my DNS resolver? firewall? ISP starting to filter DoT queries somehow?

Only last in my mental list was the possibility that Cloudflare would be down.

Hope they publish a detailed post-mortem. It's always fun to read (but certainly very painful for those directly involved in writing it).
Yes, centralization.

Let's start with housing. We have this idea of property laws and property rights. Before the rise of civilization, we didn't have such laws. People squatted and lived off of the land as needed. There are also blended model. The Homestead Acts allowed people to claim territory, which, after certain requirements are met, would pass into their hands as legal ownership.

Property, then, is an example where the registration of ownership is centralized to the legal mechanism of the government.

Or, let's take a tomato. Like the kind I can get from Wendy's. That tomato probably came from California or Mexico. (Or during the winter, from the hothouses in Canada). It is grown there and then shipped unripen across country. There are multiple actors involved. You can argue that, because the government is not involved, this is not centralized.

The kind of decentralization I am talking about is a tomato that I grow in my backyard. That can be watered from rainwater harvesting. That can be fed by compost from other parts of my garden. Whose seeds I can save, and I can replant. Every generation, those tomatoes become more adapted to my biome (low desert). After the initial setup, there is no money involved to intermediate between me and the tomato. It is between myself and the land, and the local ecology.

> Connect to the mindset of local and you’ll see central shared effort is how local thinks. It’s where those broader ideas of federal centralization grew from!

I have no idea what you mean by this. I don't consider shared effort at the household or neighborhood level to be that centralized. That speaks more about coordinating efforts, and cooperating together.

DNS absolutely was an issue. I changed DNS manually from Cloudflare's 1.0.0.1 (which is what DHCP was giving me) to 8.8.8.8 (Google) and most things I'm trying to reach work. There may be other failures going on as well, but 1.0.0.1 was completely unreachable.

Same with css. There are workarounds we use because abstraction is a requirement to code. Somehow the web components spec even seems like a workaround, for which we have many workarounds... and around and around we go :)
> The interviews indicate that the attack was not the work of a nation-state or a sophisticated group of hackers.

So it was not the work of "a state in which a great majority shares the same culture and is conscious of it"?
That's been a rather old joke among Germans: Politicians we don't like we just promote to the EU parliament to get rid of them.
I have had 3 kids in charter schools in San Diego for a total of 5 charter schools. The charter schools were all really good. Bad ones should close but the passion and excitement shown by charter school teachers are above and beyond the State run school teachers that my kids have also attended.
Depending on what part we're talking about, it varies. But yeah, just a few.

How did you verify that? I determined the issue was with Cloudflare's DNS by toggling on NextDNS, which worked and continues to.
Looks like we might need to roll our own :(
Ha, Gonzo is great! Frankly, the name was the only exciting thing about the product. But I would definitely choose a similar name again, it makes my presentations funnier if I can insert a relevant picture with a muppet.
As an experiment, try adding ampproject.org and google.com/amp to your blacklist and living with it for a week.

I've been doing this for quite a while now, and it's placed in stark relief how bad the problem is getting.

It used to be that a few results were AMP, usually news sites, but you could easily bypass it via the (i) icon.

Then it was that most results that were content focused (not dynamic sites or web apps) were were AMP, but you could easily bypass it.

Today, most results are AMP, even for sites which are dynamic (e.g. Reddit), and to make matters worse, the (i) links of many websites have now started linking to AMP pages themselves.

You might be thinking "ah, well those are their self-hosted copies. Shouldn't that be fine? The problem is Google's use of AMP, not the format itself, right?"

Funny thing that: those "self-hosted" AMP pages also won't load with the above two blacklist rules.

Also, many image search results are now somehow AMP (...how does that even make sense? It's just an image, so just serve me the image!). And for a while, you couldn't bypass it at all.
Thats not even slightly true.

Their IP belongs to AS21581; which is registered with a company called 'M5 Computer hosting' out of west-coast USA.

The "decentralized internet" folks always talk a lot about fighting corporate control. I think they should spend more time talking about resiliency and blast-radius reduction.
Indeed. While we're at it, let's not forget the PRISM [1] program, or the fact that "privacy from advert companies" does not imply "privacy from all surveillance".

I don't use cloudflare DNS but google DNS and got the same problems thant everyone else

The problem seems to have been resolved now, you might have made the change when they fixed it.
Agreed, but I think people really underestimated the forces at work that would cause so much consolidation into a couple internet giants.

The original idea was that with the barrier to entry being so low, anyone and everyone could set up their own websites, mail servers, etc.

But with it being so easy to compare and contrast service (i.e. the market being so open), it means that the competitive forces naturally consolidate to a winner-take-all model. If when starting out Cloudflare was just 5% better than the competition, it could have easily taken the vast majority of the mindshare on the internet. Couple that with the fact that there are huge advantages with scale to a business like Cloudflare's, and it's not hard to see how so much of the internet has become dependent on it.
In fact, I think Cone does exactly that;

Interesting. Cone has every known approach to memory management. GC, refcounts, arenas, pools, single ownership, thread local... Worth an experiment, but you probably don't want to go there for a widely used language. Think of the library compatibility problems.

For locking purposes, there's an argument for thread-local, shared, and transferable objects. Transferable objects are what you put in a queue between two threads. They're single-thread and don't need locking when in use, but can be handed off to another thread.

It's useful if transferable objects are transferable by copy. This is useful for machines where not all memory is shared. We're headed there; cache management gets harder and harder as the number of cores starts to approach 3 digits. So think ahead here.
Interestingly this seemed to only affect resolver service. I use Cloudflare pretty extensively on all my sites, but only in DNS mode (no CDN / proxy). The hosts continued to resolve fine during the outage (following root DNS resolution chain, no recursive resolver involved). I imagine their CDN internally uses their resolver service which explains the outages, and some unrelated 3rd parties who don't use CF on their domain at all still created a hard dependency on CF by using their recursive DNS server.
No worries! I'm interested to hear your thoughts after you do.
I'd be very interested in hearing more about your work on this technology.
I'm not sure if it's worth it or not, but after you end the lockdown, you have the same situation you did at the start of the lockdown.

I think there's a huge misconception in many media sources that lockdown will somehow eliminate the virus. It can change the onset pattern of the virus, but that's it.
