This is one of the things that has always concerned me about the idea of putting legal restrictions on people in the US based on mental health. The idea that a diagnosis could be assigned without any type of independent medical or blood test that can disproved it is frankly terrifying.
Don't vaccines require that mechanism in order to be effective?
>the virus can be contained without such a large loss of life?

Generally speaking:

But then you have to keep containing it right?

There's not a magical end of containing unless the virus just goes away / a vaccine is available ... that doesn't seem to be a thing yet.

I'm not all for just letting the chips fall where they may, but success at preventing exposure to your population vs heard immunity means the folks who haven't been exposed have to keep avoiding it.
If we had a truly diverse internet that wasn't driven by social media, non-personalized would work fine. Want to reach an audience interested in computers? Buy ads on sites that talk about computers. Instead, we have centralized distribution of content that requires personal knowledge to cater ads to individuals in order for them to be remotely effective.
My experience with this library is iffy. While it's fairly painless to use, a benefit which cannot be understated since implementing WebRTC is actually incredibly difficult in practice, it doesn't seem to be well optimized especially if recording two sources at the same time (audio, screen, camera). People have reported a variety of performance issues with my side project serverless.cam such as general lag while recording and poor synchronization (one source lagging behind another).
I had to opt-in. So it is not something that is on-by-default, from what I know.
Exactly. We have application level authentication on top of various network level security policies. Karen from accounting can't even see servers that she doesn't need, and anything she does need has additional authentication requirements. Even if someone mistakenly gave her access to something at one of these layers, she would need that same mistake at multiple layers to actually get in.
This is exactly the same wrong point again. A human with a badge is not similar to a lighthouse. It’s a person with agency, when they beat, shoot, strangle or arrest another person they make a choice.

Lighthouses don’t.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand the fraud was aimed at US [particularly Californian] emissions regulations but not German/EU emissions regulations, which differed in such a way that cheating wasn't necessary for those engines to pass. The American emissions regulations were more concerned with nitrogen oxides than the EU regulations which emphasized fuel efficiency; Volkswagen found they couldn't satisfy both at the same time (or would make less money if they did?) so they chose to make efficient engines that produced a lot of nitrogen oxides, then use cheat software to evade the nitrogen oxide regulations in America.

If my understanding of that is correct, it doesn't surprise me that German authorities weren't very proactive about a German company defrauding the American government. It obviously disappoints me, but it doesn't surprise me.
> maybe the whole steal money to make that look like the motive is part of a much larger setup...

You can play this game ad infinitum. Maybe there was a larger setup, but what if that larger setup was just a false flag for a much larger setup? And what if that much larger setup was all part of an even larger setup? And what if...
This is unfair. You are talking about a nation of 330 million people.

But it is fair to say that there is no sane channel of information. The channels of public discourse in the US, once controlled by a few "loyal, patriotic" corporate owners fed by advertising revenue, are now channels controlled by unprincipled corporatism that supports a two-party system of untalented puppets.

And the un-talent pool is bigger than ever.

> If you test positive, why make your kid go through that? If you test positive and you are both sick, you can presume you've caught the same thing.

Most likely, you'd only get the kid(s) tested in that case if you were seeking medical care because it was pretty bad, or the tests were encouraged by a contact tracing regime. The first part would lead towards higher positivity results, and the second towards lower. With no details on who go tests / what their motive for testing was, we just don't know.
Unlike tornadoes, something can be done to avoid riots burning people houses.
It is not just the COVID19 reaction that is driving people to consider leaving the cities but the willingness of public officials to let violent protesters run wild. Those pictures in many big newspapers have lasting effect.

It is one thing to fear a virus you cannot see and another where you have pictures of destroyed businesses and cars.
Get a device with a separate baseband processor which connects to the main SoC through a serial connection. Both the PinePhone [1] and the Librem 5 [2] come so equipped, both also feature hardware kill switches with which the baseband can be disabled.

Both devices are aimed at the hacker and enthusiast markets but once you're at the level of 'paranoia' which makes you suspect the radio baseband processor is being (ab)used in nefarious ways to track you this should not dissuade you from taking the leap. The more esoteric the hard- and software, the less chance there is for some cookie-cutter exploit to catch you.

Have you looked at Definitive CSS? It's up to date and a massive 1000 page tomb of encyclopedic knowledge and guidance. Anyone who digests that entire thing is not being dismissive of CSS.

Digesting that is taking CSS more seriously than most people take learning new programming languages...which is appropriate! Because with CSS, you not only need to learn the language, you are effectively learning something like a language and a framework at the same time. Lots of folks learn the language minimally, piecemeal, on an "as needed basis," and end up wasting a lot of time because they aren't aware of the larger features and how they can be fit together.

Most folks do the equivalent of learning about goto statements, variable declarations, and arithmetic operators, and figuring you have everything you need to do good programming work.

Technically, you do have everything you need. And with a decade of work under your belt using those things, you can build some amazing and good robust systems. It's also easy to build total junk that nobody can understand but you. Perl, of course, is also infamous for having this quality.

They didn't prosecute "short selling", they prosecuted market manipulation:

1. Get a large short position

2. Publish damaging information

3. Profit

It doesn't even matter if the information is true. If it is true, it is insider trading. If it isn't true, it is libel. Either warrants prosecution.
I am in Canada and can't buy it. I have to subscribe to Prime to access.
Right, but it likes to hide out in rather remote areas of your body.
This is wrong in two major aspects: 1) The current real estate surge isn't related to coronavirus itself, it's related to pent up demand caused by coronavirus lockdowns. 2) People aren't moving to suburbs because they're afraid of corona within major cities, it's because millennials are over their inner city lifestyles while at the same time don't feel safe walking down the street. Survival instincts are kicking in.

>I think you're a liar. You're not here to post in good faith. You're just another alt-right troll stirring up shit.

Totally uncalled for. Some people have different points of view. Cancel culture is intimately linked with socialism/communism, though I only recently came to understand this. That social shaming and unpersoning lead to a system where parents could not trust their children, because the government effectively incentivized them to "snitch". The scars of communism in my family are clearly multigenerational, the cultural imprint, of intrinsic distrust for your countryman, is unmistakable. These literal marxists want to bring the same evil here. I cannot stand for that.

>whisking someone away and violating their rights

I don't think violent sedition is a right in this country. They're not arresting peaceful protestors, they're arresting (allegedly) instigators, the kind who helped cause $500MM in damage in Minneapolis alone. Also I don't think being arrested by unmarked federal agents for federal crimes violates rights.

Edit: also it's ironic that you bring up my interest in cancel culture while attacking me personally and accusing me of bad faith argument for disagreeing with you. Perhaps it is appropriate for me to be wary of cancel culture after all?
What's funny is that it doesn't matter whether it was improving or not. Law is law. You don't stop chasing criminals just because criminality is down.
What do you think The Hill should have done here? The Hill reported on the data provided by the state of Florida. Here is the direct report that the article is based on: http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_ar...

Do you think The Hill should have attempted to apologize for the data with hearsay about the numbers? Or should they just report the facts as they are given and leave it up to the state of Florida to clean up their mess?
This isn't a scalable solution.

If the value per ad decreases, services will need to display more til the user generates enough value to support the costs they incur.

If TV was able to cater ads to individual viewers then ad breaks would be a lot shorter.

> I know several people who have moved out of cities over the last several years actually for various reasons, mostly the accumulating cost and declining benefits, especially with the consequences of political and government policies starting to impact communities along with the overall cost of living increases. This is not a coronavirus trend, even if that has only accelerated things.

Yeah this has been the deal in my area. Millennials were later to start families, but now that they are they're needing more space than they can afford with downtown real estate costs.

If people are moving now I suspect it has to do with interest rates being low enough that it becomes an attractive option financially.

As for declining benefits, that's true too. The initial wave of urbanization involved revitalizing poor neighborhoods by opening up lots of quirky, independent shops. But leases are now high enough that few such businesses can really survive and they're being replaced by large chains or, in other cases, just laying vacant or being occupied by luxury brands that people don't care about having access to on a day-to-day basis.

COVID has just accelerated those marginal business collapsing under the weight of unsustainably high leases/rents.
I like where this is going; I use k3d a lot to quickly spin up a disposable cluster to try some new operator and things like that, then just discard it. Very handy if you work on Kubernetes clusters.

K3s is also really good – I'm running several k3s clusters on my private hardware (one on a Raspberry Pi 4, even) and it's been smooth sailing after the major kinks had been smoothed out in the early versions.

Seems like k3d just got even better. Love the ability to quickly spin up multi-node clusters, and updating existing kubeconfig is also very welcome.
I'm the same way - I hardly ever use actual vim anymore! But I use the keybindings everywhere: web browsing with vimium, org-mode in spacemacs/evil, intellij vim plugin, etc.

Your experience mirrors mine in that most of the benefit of vim is in the basic motions and modal way of editing, which most of the plugins provide in a decent enough way for me.

I would say non-personalized. Like many siblings say, I often see ads for products after I've already bought them (or something similar). That's just useless.

I also remember a funny experience with Google Maps 2 years ago. I had my home and work addresses on profile. They're both in the same city and close enough that it's possible to walk between the two. I was looking at the closest way to go from the office to another place not far away, on foot. The top suggestions google thought I would have a use for while looking around my destinations were hotels. When I live maybe an hour away.

So I figure if Google's recommendations are so useless even though I gave them precise information, how exactly is some random adtech company going to figure something useful for me when all they supposedly have is infered information?

However, if there's one thing I _won't_ do, it is to go along blindly with the gaping-mouth masses. I pride myself in being a free thinker, both behind the keyboard and in person. Not everyone expresses opinions the same way, and to tell me that my comments are unsubstantial is definitely a violation of the guidelines you posed.

Yeah, those anti-mask people can get pretty violent. They just lynched a doll of their governor in Kentucky and no one's doing anything about it.
Other possible lessons: Don't get a PA, manage your own affairs. Keep your PA at a very comfortable distance. Take your privacy and security very seriously. Go to the police when someone steals of 10s of thousands of dollars from you. Do what you can to see that person charged to the full extent that the law allows. Don't come up with a payment plan for them. My own read is this guy was more concerned about being/appearing socially responsible and forwent good risk management.

In the end tho, to end up dead and dismembered from this, this guy is still very unlucky.

The git-cli is an inconsistent mess, agreed.

The data-model, however, is not. It is actually a very smart, mathematical (cryptographical) tree-structure[1].

I quoted the word hack deliberately. There have been well known cases of people being brought up on charges for using elite hacking software known as curl and/or wget.

Also, it's what my co-workers called it. These are non-coder types, and can operate a computer just well enough to use the software they are trained to use. I use the Homebrew color scheme in Terminal, so green text on black background. Only hackers use Terminal anyway, so 1 + 1 = ? (you better have said 10)

Everybody HAS to have antibodies for this eventually. There is no way around that at this point.

If Florida truly has 30% infection among children, that is FANTASTIC news.

To those who think they can wait it out until a vaccine, how long will you wait?

All of the measures we are taking: masks, distancing, WFH, these are meant to slow down the rate of infection, not end it.

If this statistic can be extrapolated to the entire population: GREAT. We need to study what Florida is doing and replicate it.

You say that like it's a past event. Portland is still seeing riot activity. They have done a fair amount of damage downtown. I feel sad for the peaceful BLM protestors because much of the general public will not draw a distinction, so this kind of behavior will blunt their message.
