Jira. My only pet-peeves are:

* it breaks native keyboard shortcuts. After disabling the shortcut overrides in settings, "/" is a NOP (which is weird, since disabling the overrides worked in Confluence)

* the markup is non-standard (but I can live with it)

* sometimes it will log me out when I want to post a comment and all of what I wrote in the comment box gets lost

Yes? But you also left off the rest of her bio: ", professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, and a member of the National Academies’ Committee on Science and Innovation Leadership for the 21st Century."

She is an accomplished academic scientist who is now putting her effort into a technology where her science portends value. And she's explaining that technology here.

The idea is actually a very strong idea with hints towards an even more interesting future. Bionengineering these pathways into an organism (even yourself) gets you a lot of significant benefits:

- dropping the reliance on petrochemical precursors for manufacturing

- a large number of biosimilar compounds for the cost of a few rounds of evolution

- manufacturing is constant across many different drugs and involves 3 ingredients: water, light & sugar

- manufacturing is much easier and can be transported "in house" eventually into smaller and smaller scales (think yogurt or a shot of espresso)

- etc.
What does China have to do with it? If they can produce competitive solar energy I'm sure lots of middle east, europe and africa would buy up their watts. Egypt, Ethiopia, Turkey, Iran are all right next door.
It works well, and I like it.

But it interferes with search.

I have two ways of archiving:
* Manuall mail older than 2 years off my server into a local storage. The process is somwhat clumsy, but works.
* Conssitently archive anything that is done, keeping inbox(0) using the "archive" feature in TB - hotkey 'a'.

I did find that often archiving in other mailclients, or in thunderbird itself (all using IMAP, no shared storage on my machine) makes thunderbird's search index break. about 20% of the mails in my archive are not searchable. Only after hunting down the "rebuild search index feature" can it be fixed.

The fact that such a feature exists, alone is worrying in several ways.
Some games just had a really bad UI, too.

I remember spending a lot of time very frustrated with a game called Teenagent because IIRC to open the inventory you had to move the mouse to the top left corner and keep it there for a while. As far as I remember there were no indications that this was the case, and it just seemed to me that the inventory would randomly pop up somehow.

Of course it's possible the game might have told me that in text somewhere, but back then I did not really understand English, so I'll call it bad UI design.
So they tested the parents too?

> As long as we are comparing with what people actually do when there is a lockdown.

We are.

> This is what makes the data analysis so difficult - perhaps in some areas people actually followed lockdown rules - where I live basically nobody did.

Really? People in your area showed up to closed businesses and did what, congregated outside pointlessly? I'm gonna have to say, I don't believe that.

> Swedes kept going to routine checkups whereas Californians didn’t - but was that caused by the lockdowns or differences in culture?

[citation needed]

> Follow Michael Levitt on Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/MLevitt_NP2013

[citation needed] still, because I have no idea where you're seeing anything there which you're claiming, and more to the point, a biophysicist is not the same as an epidemiologist, and even more to the point, even an epidemiologist needs evidence to back up their point.

In short, link a study, or you are just making crap up.

> > Comparing Sweden to the US is misleading

> Yes, and so is comparing Sweden and Denmark - but you were happy to do that.

No, it's not.

The difference is that I gave reasons why the US and Sweden are different, whereas you don't seem to feel that a lack of evidence should prevent you from saying things.

Again, provide evidence for your claims, or you're just making crap up.

> NYC for example has had a ruinous number of deaths in nursing homes.

NYC didn't lock down until the disease had already been widespread.
It doesn’t really need to be a serious opponent. If you randomly drop a phone in a cab, chances are, it will end up in the hands of someone running one of these exploits on it.

Doing network security on-device is antipattern. Doing it at the network layer is easier and more portable. Not only do I block ads on my iPhone, I even run an IDS/IPS on all of the traffic, no exploits or jailbreak required.

Although, if you still prefer to block-ads on device, those solutions also exist for iOS.
The only thing that's kept me in the city is the lack of remote work and the difficulty of moving. I came here for the higher salaries, which was key to paying off my absurd college costs. If remote work is easier now, it's a big motivator for me to get out to someplace I can live comfortably for reasonable costs.
However, due to how Covid works, a grocery store that serves 1000 rural people is still pretty busy in a given day. The air itself, in the store, is pretty much giving people COVID. I've pretty much been going to the store once a week since this started. I wear nitrile gloves and an n95 mask. I am pretty sure I caught it two weeks ago and my symptoms are just now flaring. I know it's covid because that's pretty much the only thing you're going to catch with all that protection right now. The rural county and city I am in is surging in cases right now, and very few people are wearing masks. I've really questioned my citizenship in the US for the last few months. I don't think it's that I never belonged in the US. I think that people have changed so much that politically they are willing to do harm to others because they don't want to wear a mask. I mean that would not have happened in the 50s - probably everyone would have worn a mask if the government asked them to. Which is ironic because many of the people playing into this masklessness are older. I'm actually quite confused lately about the way people in the world justify the things that they do. Maybe it's just the US?

I love it when companies exclude this info from email and make me log in to see the details, but then run a bunch of trackers themselves.

> Those places already have herd immunity.

No, they don't, or they wouldn't have new cases, even without even somewhat looser mandatory controls than other places. What they have is some degree of immunity in the population (not herd immunity) plus (in some subset of those places) some degree of contact tracing backed by targeted mandatory, or at least voluntary, quarantines/isolation of the exposed, and (in large part because of the intense impacts each has had) voluntary general distancing.
That's a great point!

Interestingly enough, my daughter got sick and we thought it was strep. She ended up getting tested for strep and covid in one day.

Yes, probably a good deal of PR, projection, and reductionism in the headline.

On the other hand, what would you have expected to happen to housing starts during a national period of pandemic and racial unrest? An uptick is surprising.
Well, that’s how it usually goes. You can’t go $0 to $20K if it was quick and easy. Doctors, lawyers, accountants... welders, electricians, all spend years of education and apprenticeship to make money.

Apple news also use targeted ads and they are as shitty as any ad platform in recommending ads and no way to not see them.
Its possible they only have hard evidence of second-degree murder at this stage, so rather than risk the guy being released due to lack of probable cause for first degree murder they can just bring a charge with fewer elements to prove and then add first degree murder later when they have gone over the evidence more.

After all, maybe he didn't originally intend to kill the guy, he did start by tasing him.

This is sad. I’m thinking the assistant was planning on sawing the ceo up and dump him in a river. Which doesn’t make sense. He would be a suspect on the list if Saleh had disapeared. Unless he planned to make out like a bandit into a country that doesn’t extradite criminals.
If I'm in the market for something, I'm likely to indicate that by doing a search for relevant terms. So the search engine could sell associated ad space to appropriate categories of advertizers.

If I'm reading reviews about a certain product category, it's a fair bet I might be in the market for such a product. So the site could show me relevant ads.

If I'm reading a site devoted to a particular topic or activity, the publisher might reasonably guess that I could be in the market for related products, and offer relevant ads.

None of this requires any privacy-invasive tracking.

If I'm reading a general news site, the site shouldn't have any more idea what I'm "in the market for" than the publisher of a print newspaper I might buy.

If I'm browsing used-car listings, the site shouldn't have any idea what genre of novels I like to read, what my grocery cart usually contains, where I go to work out, or how many pets I have. Why does anyone think it's OK for a company to surreptitiously gather that sort of personal information about everyone?
4x 200k and 600k EUR are among the highest damages for pain and suffering ever awarded by a German court, so as far as legally resolved processes go these are very unusual.
From your posts your view of complexity seems very limited to the art of programming and making complex, fast and correct
programs.

Complexity for me is the software engineering part which the Software Engineering at Google displays really well and I agree wholehearted. I would argue a game is simpler because it doesn't need frequent updates and doesn't live forever.

I work in systems at my company used in a very big scale that were written 30 years ago and are still maintained / changed. That system I would argue is much more complex than any game.

Even tho from your point of view it probably only updates files on disk :)
Immunity isn't a binary, neither is herd immunity. While there are reports of reinfection, those cases are quite rare.

Even a modest degree of immunity can significantly lower spread. In France, Spain, Germany, you still have hundreds of cases every day, but they don't grow to thousands of cases anymore.
Both things are true. Same website as your link corroborating what I‘m saying: https://simpleflying.com/why-existing-airbus-a380s-wont-be-c...

> Alas, there are some flaws in the A380 design when it comes to cargo.

> The first is how heavy the A380 is. Because the A380 has a heavier empty weight than the competitive Boeing 747-8F cargo carrier, it actually costs more to get the aircraft in the air.

> In practice, this means that despite having more room onboard, the A380 would hit its maximum carrying weight before the entire volume was filled up, leaving plenty of extra empty room onboard. It would be too expensive for a cargo operator to run to make a profit.

Machine learning Academia, is very different from how its applied in a real world setting. The number of people who can launch a model and deal with the intricacies of serving a model in production are still very few. Resources like these are essential for people not familiar with ML. We need more people who can apply successfully at scale.

A top down approach to learning ML in my opinion is more efficient than a bottom's up approach, that most people try to advocate

It has an internal memory bank and you dump it to a compactflash card with the MV-1 accessory that the other person mentioned.

Personally I think that's a little clunky and it would be better to go with a little transflash card, but the F6 was designed in 2004 and I guess at that point it would have been a SD card and maybe even compactflash and they didn't want the size.

This approach is probably still preferable to direct USB connection though, because presumably that would require utility software that would now be incredibly out of date and tied to like Windows XP or something. If nobody bothered to write an open-source utility then that function would be unusable for modern PCs.

That's a problem on some hardware, I have a scanner where the only software that supports it is tied to Windows XP, or you can use third-party software (VueScan)_that talks to it directly and bypasses the official drivers. It is a scanner designed to do 4x5 film directly (not a flatbed) so replacements are thousands of dollars.
I've already built a working model (at least it appears that way). I'm looking for any research involving non-representational, low resolution imagery (3x3) - I haven't seen anything that rules out working with this kind of data at this scale. But maybe it's a fool's errand. I don't know. It would be nice to find literature that catalogs what has/hasn't been done in this space, or better, what works and what doesn't.

"Published", not "revealed".

I'm sorry. This just annoys me so much. There's two perfectly good words that pretty much always should be used instead of "revealed": "Published", or "Announced".
You test the kid so that you can then warn all the kid's contacts!

The ONLY reason we test is to control community spread. Covid doesn't really have any specific treatments, it gets managed the same way you manage a flu patient. There's near zero value in the individual information about an infection.

In an idea situation (i.e. where the pandemic hasn't outstripped test bandwidth, which is true now in almost all of asia, most of europe, and some areas of the US like NYC) you test everyone who gets sick with covid-like symptoms, and for every positive you then go and test everyone who had meaningful contact with them.

You absolutely don't skip tests because you can reasonably assume a positive. That's missing the point entirely.

> I always have the feeling people just cobble around for too long and should instead take at least a few days for a more structured learning approach.

There are two kinds of documentation: there's a list of all the individual things you can do, and there's a "The fundamental abstraction is this". The second is rare, and rarely done correctly, and much more important.

A lot of people assume that X is like Y, but with Z, and they know Y, so they just need to learn about Z. A lot of time that isn't true, the fundamentals are different. The natural way do perform W in Y might be profoundly wrong in X. Examples:

* git is like subversion, but distributed.

* C++ is like C, but with classes.

* C++ is like Java, but you have to remember to delete stuff.

I love git. I love C++. I think these things are the bee's knees. They're so simple and elegant. But I totally understand how people think they're arcane eldritch horrors when you're holding the sword by the pointy end.
Unemployed people probably aren't buying new homes. But if they are getting unemployment check, they might be paying their mortgages on existing homes. Also, even if they stop paying their mortgages, they can't be foreclosed on in many states. Also, banks are deferring their payments, because it's not in their interests for people to foreclose, but they will only delay those payments for so long. My point is that once those unemployment checks cease and foreclosures resume, prices can drop significantly.
>Regardless of how it works, there are also renewable energies which can fulfil this classical "base-load" idea: Namely organic gas or geothermal power plants.

KDE-1 was my first DE, (SuSE 6.x) and I used that for years, so I really know and used KMail. KDE-PIM was my favorite and long time the only piece of K- software on my otherwise gnome en (back during the kde3 drama, I threw it out and went full-gnome).

I tried KMail it a few months ago, knowing how I used to love it. It is still complex, full-featured and highly configurable. Three attributes that I don't necessarily think are good attributes. I tried it for weeks, but decided that if I'm going to use a mailclient that needs constant tweaking, research and work, I can just as well stick to Thunderbird.

It also still saves hundreds of megabytes not having any K software in gnome. And still, 2020, k-software looks like :brown-emoji: on gnome.
