You can't just lockdown and then stop, unless you eradicate the virus entirely, which is impossible.

It only stops in the absence of lockdown when the herd immunity threshold is reached. Period.

The only question is what that threshold is. Without these findings of heterogenous susceptibility, that threshold would be 70-90% depending on your estimate of the effective reproduction number.

With these findings, that number drops to a much lower threshold. Much, much lower.

If I can ask you one question, what is your explanation as to how cases have floored in other first-world countries, in the absence of herd immunity, if they are not practicing lockdown?

Not quite, but at optimization levels set by default WRF configuration for each compiler (definitely not a fair comparison):

gfortran: -O2 -ftree-vectorize -funroll-loops
ifort: -O3

I don't have the timing results anymore. This was in 2018 on Xeon Platinum 8168.

I recently tried replacing -O2 with -Ofast -ffast-math to gfortran settings, which gives about 18% speed up. So still far from Intel. I recently proposed it here [1].

Seeing as how they've already been openly threatening to start a civil war for a long time, I think it would be more than a few.
How can it be still up after so much time? The response time from the SREs is extremely bad.
Totally agreed. This is beyond irresponsible.
So Twitter's killswitch is that verified accounts cant tweet any more...

> ...if public perception shifts on this for some group - i.e. if they are deemed as having largely attained the ideal, when they weren't perceived as such before - they [are] first, promoted to "honorary whites", separate but (gradually more and more) equal; and then finally fully adopted into the fold.

This feels like a just-so story to me. The story of "white" identity as such in the U.S. is really a lot simpler than that, and we can trace it very easily in the primary sources: it does show up early on as something that was talked about mostly in opposition to Natives and the enslaved blacks, and to some extent it kept that role in the "Jim-Crow" segregated south after the emancipation of slaves, up to as recently as the Civil Rights Era. In the meantime, and quite importantly for this discussion, it got actively repurposed throughout the U.S. as a way of assimilating the fractious immigrant identities from Europe into something that could be shared by European-Americans in general. This shows up especially clearly wrt. immigrants from Germany in the run-up to World War I, who were heavily encouraged to shed any association with their nationality for obvious reasons; but the same is true of other nationalities.

But to say that Asians have been subsequently adopted as "honorary whites" in some sort of continuing dynamic, let alone that this is also true of "white Hispanics" (a categorization that does formally exist in the U.S. Census but that very few would acknowledge as such) really strains credulity. I do think that this whole way of talking about "Whiteness" as something terrible is purposely divisive; it is exploiting a deep equivocation about the legacy of slavery and segregation in order to disregard the fact that "white" is what many, many millions of people in the US have been explicitly requested to identify as, and it's really not feasible to disregard or deprecate existing identities like this without being divisive.

Taking notes for study, I have to use pen & paper. I just don't retain anything I don't write down. (I have a very terrible shorthand, basically illegible to anyone else.)

Taking minutes for meetings, I have to use a computer. I'm able to kind of get into a stenographer flow state. I capture a lot but remember Little.

I have no idea how or why these strategies work.
I signed up for the HEY trial and then ended up a paying customer after it ended. We'll see how I feel after the first year. I am just forwarding my email to it from a G Suite account so luckily there was no migration process involved and I am only emailing a few close friends/family. If I end up not liking it then I will have an easy move back to G Suite.
As long as the API isn't running on node, right? :)
It reminds me of how people bash hydro for killing fish and instead advocate wind farms which kill thousands of endangered birds.

Everyone has their vested interests and pre-conceived biases I suppose.
I agree that this is the most important part of the post, and it should probably be emphasized even more. I'm probably going to write a post about this in itself.

Curious about the studies you mention. Have any names or links?

You mean the ones he has done so far isn't achieving that already?
It's not even that deceptive from a technical standpoint: an airplane autopilot maintains course and speed, and nothing more. Tesla's autopilot maintains course (lane) and speed, and nothing more. It's in the common imagination that airplane autopilot, based on name alone is more autonomous than it is (you can't takeoff/land on autopilot in a plane, and a pilot isn't just napping during autopilot). A lot of people seem to imagine the joke version of autopilot from the movie Airplane! where an inflatable "pilot" takes over full control of the plane, when the reality is much simpler and less autonomous.

The question remains if Tesla expected more goodwill from the common/popular imaginative view of the thing over the technical description, and I have no idea how "deliberate" that was.

I also probably should have put a sarcasm/irony tilde on mistake as my post above was intended more as a joke than an honest attempt at problem solving.
Can you clarify your edit? All I see is this tweet (https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/128351803844522393...) which reads

We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly.

Are you implying that this was tweeted by the attackers? or something else?
I think that they just like to be alive, so they avoided hacking POTUS or other countries Presidents/PMs.

I own the Pinephone UBports CE, which I've run UBports, postmarketOS, and currently have Mobian installed.

Mobian is definitely my favorite of the three so far. Set-up was really easy, I'm perfectly okay with the Phosh UI, and being able to do package management with `apt` vs. `apk` is huge, since I'm much more familiar with Debian's setup than Alpine's. It didn't seem like something that would matter a bunch, but it's ended up being a big quality-of-experience improvement for me.

Documentation seemed better for Mobian too, and getting everything set-up was very easy (user set-up vs. the pmOS "demo" user). Plus, at least the image of pmOS I had (about two weeks ago fresh .img file, plus regular updates), Firefox support wasn't great because of auto-scaling vs. the Firefox ESR on Mobian that just works. Like, open it up, log into my Firefox account, then start playing a Youtube video with zero tinkering just-works. I ended up calling a family member across the country and talking with them for about 10 minutes soon afterwards as well, with no issues. Plus, I was able to SSH into it from my laptop and build/run a Rust binary. On a phone. That was quite a fun moment. Still definitely a beta, but for me it's the closest to a daily driver of the three.

I don't see myself switching back to pmOS or UBports unless they suddenly make a huge leap.
Another issue I've found with online communities is that they generally focus on a single thing.

It's great when you just want to talk about that one thing, but I don't think it's a great way to make friends.

Twitter is interesting to me because it's a network rather than a community, but there often seems to be a weird power dynamic between people which would also stifle friendships.
That's a lot easier to trace than BTC transactions though. And of course even there if the adversary is determined enough you'll get caught.
Yep, that won't be a coincidence. Also a bit relieving because this means that probably there was no access to DMs etc. before the rollout of this feature.
Someone is trying to communicate with the hacker using invalid addresses.
The way to handle argumentation that you suspect of bad faith is to handle both cases.

You say "If you mean ... then ... but if you mean ... then ...".

This doesn't apply to everything. But it certainly applies to just-asking-questions. You give both the actual correct answer; and you also say something maybe rude, but behind a conditional.

That's interesting. My car (2019MY) must be a transition model because I have the 7-way controller in the center console, but the screen can still be touched.

And everyone in government will quickly conclude that they can't allow this to happen.

This could be the beginning of the end of social media.
On principal, I don't think "temp-to-hire" is the same thing as contract-to-hire. With a contract to hire roles, you are filling a full-time position on your team with someone that is paid differently. They are treated as a new hire.

I wouldn't take a "temp-to-hire" or a job with a trial period either.
Don’t buy it. No advantage to revealing your capabilities.

Hours in, seems the vulnerability was not yet patched but simply blue-checks had posting rights pulled. Only non-verified accounts have been posting the wallet key for a while now (search new to find them).

I know it's easy to judge from afar but I can't believe they're leaving the site up during this.
I do not have have any data, and maybe you are correct.

But I am not claiming to answer a research question. To answer the research question, you need a better method.

I am just pointing out the bias.
In a world where resources (and / or distribution to them) are outpaced by the needs and wants of people, then interaction in the form of competition or cooperation is necessary.

Given that not every need or want can be fulfilled, they have to be prioritized in some way.

People with differing opinions on the value of fulfilling a particular need or want are going to have difficulty cooperating; a competitive system enables people to build up resources to fulfill their own needs and wants as they desire and are capable.

Societies have often found a way to balance these- markets for the majority of cases, and charity or taxation to fulfill the rest up to the point where they peacefully agree to do so.

A purely cooperative society, as you pointed out, works up until someone opts out. It is a fantasy.
>a demonstration to a big client

Okay, this has me curious. Could someone describe the context/circumstance where you have a 'big client' to whom you illustrate capabilities by this kind of hack? This is a black market thing, right?

I don't doubt it, I'm just curious what this market is, and what it means to be a 'big client' in it, etc.
What was done was a guaranteed method of getting the method/exploit fixed in record time. If the perpetrator wanted to demonstrate, they would have targeted someone inconsequential that would not have put the problem on twitters radar. They blew their whole wad, likely on purpose, and there is nothing else planned.

If the results of this experiment are true part of winning the game may be taking some anti-anxiety drugs before the interview... I heard high blood pressure medicine works.

Maybe not a consideration, but nydailynews is not available from Europe.
Most grammars define a very specific starting point for languages. This is fine of course, but what if we want to parse, say, only an expression, only a function body, etc?

I feel most parsing APIs tend to expose a single method, something like:

parser.parse(source)

... which is kind of a limited API to do the things I ask about above.

With a more flexible API, an structure aware editor [1] could keep different areas of the buffer separated, and know if the user is typing a function body, a variable definition, etc, and only parse that part w/o breaking the rest of the parser progress (is this a good idea? I think so but I don't think most editors work like this, so maybe not :-)

--

An area of parser APIs that I've recently seen trouble with is lack of metadata on the productions. I'd like to be able to do something like:

production.meta() => { :line 23, :column 10 }

... or something like that. This is very useful while error reporting, for instance. I was trying to find a parser for RDF Turtle that would do this, but couldn't find any!

Nope. They're actually getting away with quite a big loot!

The number of unconfirmed transactions has catapulted from ~9k to about ~50k right now, which means there's large amount of activity.

It will take a while for the dust to settle.

A better graph of the current transactions sitting unconfirmed: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h

Note: I'm not saying that these are all from the hack, I'm saying that the activity on the Bitcoin blockchain has significantly spiked, and the hack was still ongoing at the time of writing this.
I think it only stopped in the last few minutes. It lasted hours
> There are many large US and European companies doing business in China

The rush into China 20+ years ago forced the less willing to follow, just to stay cost competitive. And it's not like the original flood of businesses went in agreeing to give up all their IP, or expecting to wed themselves to Chinese manufacturing. They all went in chasing gold--cheaper production, access to what was to become the world's largest market. And like every gold rush in history expectations were foiled and people ended up making compromises they wouldn't have otherwise made.

I remember a graduation party I attended in 2000. A friend's parents flew in from India, where they owned several textile factories. I asked the father some questions about the direction of Indian and Chinese manufacturing, which caused him to launch into a long lament about the speculative investments flowing into China. So many investments were flowing into China they were making garments below the cost of inputs, and that's with the already low cost of labor, and without government financial aid. It made it impossible for him to compete fairly in the global markets.

The Chinese government knew what it was doing. They deliberately hyped the prospect of the Chinese domestic market to no end, holding it out as bait, and American businesses bought it hook, line, and sinker. They situated not only their most crucial industrial assets in China, but sent boatloads of cash and, more importantly, expertise on top of it. It's hard to exaggerate the irrational exuberance that played out over two decades.

Slowly, but surely, these mistakes are becoming apparent--not that any American MBA would ever admit to a personal error in judgment, or that they're prepared to make an about-face. This notion that it will all be worth it some day as the Chinese market matures still holds sway.

Of course, the potential of the Chinese market was always there, and still is. The error in judgement was believing China was dumb enough to just hand it over to the West, and to do so without exacting a price. That price is turning out to be far larger, and the first-mover advantages far more meager, than if the integration of China into the global market had occurred more organically and gradually, without American industry falling over themselves clambering across the Pacific, easy targets for industrial exploitation. Japan seems to have done a better job of it, as have many other countries. It's mostly the Americans that look like idiots.
>The cost of current nuclear power is almost entirely capital cost and operations.

Missing the point: how do the capital and operational costs scale with plant size in MW? It is ridiculous to assume they scale linearly throughout a big range so certain plant sizes will be more economical. It's all good, few people develop this kind of thought or are in a position requiring them to do so
But why do it after hours then?
Thank you for your work! I am so glad that you are doing what you are doing, because I personally want something the Pinephone project to succeed and its success makes me think that there are forces for good in the world.
You're actually paid more cash during the contract period because you have additional expenses. You wouldn't be working for less.

However, it is likely you'll be able to negotiate a higher base salary when you convert than you would have been able to negotiate if you had hired on directly as a salaried employee, because it would cause them extreme pain to try and replace you.
Oh yes, the state infrastructure, the one that was built by other private companies and paid for by the money taken from other private companies and individuals. Before there is a state there is an individual acting on their own volition to organise the environment around, and to achieve something in their life, without needing a sanction from a state.
If they had capital to begin with. If this is some individual hacker without much for means, swiping $100k of BTC in a potentially narrow window when a security vulnerability is in place is greater than $0 while trying to line up capital and shorts.
I think you read far too deep into things you don't like, and try to find something to be upset about. It's kind of the national pastime these days, it seems.

No nation is going to start killing people because of a Tweet. Be realistic.

It detracts from your otherwise valid points when paranoia and blind hatred overshadow your arguments.

The number of posts you've made about the leader of a foreign nation is astonishing. Are there zero domestic problems to be fired up about?

> You again?

I guess I could say the same. Touché.

Another problem with the advice of eat less move more is that you are putting blame on the person. If they only tried harder they wouldn't be fat. No matter if they have tried really hard only to get told they aren't good enough. When really the whole game is stacked against them. Companies creating highly desired, but low in nutrition and satiety food. Cereals full of sugar being marketed as heart healthy. It's all stacked against them and the message needs to change.

That's a great system.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm assuming someone is critiquing the scammer as foolish for using bitcoin instead of Monero because it is more difficult to cash out, as bitcoin is less anonymous than Monero?
I’m surprised this is your experience.

At my current employer, that’s exactly how we approach hiring. I send the candidate a take-home that broadly covers the basic tech skills they need to be effective in their role (implement a simple test api, some questions about scaling web apps in production, and a possible architecture sketch for a described system). It’s expected to be around 4 hours of work. If they pass that, the interview is free of technical topics - we just talk about your past experience and assess whether you’d be a good fit for the team.

Is this not how other take-home assignments work?
this is not a way for you to demonstrate what can be done to a big client. ignore OP.
it does not work that way. the trades will be cancelled, the account frozen before $ is ever able to leave,
The general approach to dealing with low diversity in a team seems to be to increase the percentage of phone screens being allotted to diversity candidates (which on the other hand reduces the number of non-diversity applicants that get a phone screen).

And not actually lowering the bar during an interview / hiring committee meeting.
At my company we do contract to hire, but it's only about 4-8 hours of work. The intention isn't to replace your current job, it's to compensate you for doing extra work for our company while we interview you.

When I was hired I did about 1-2 hours of work for 3 days, after my normal job and was hired before even finishing the "project".

Buy a better webcam, Logitech BCC950 works on my Sony A1, for mic you can use any BT/wireless USB microphone if the one on the webcam doesn’t work well enough in your room.

Konftel cameras also work, just limit yourself to 1080p unless your TV has USB 3.0.
It's not due to lack of jobs, at least not in a simple way.

Reportedly, there are simultaneously more open positions than companies can fill with qualified candidates, at the same time as many qualified candidates struggling to find open positions they can fill.

I think that may be true, even though it sounds paradoxical.

The result is still inequality, cost of living peoples and people getting squeezed.

But adding a bunch more of the same jobs won't fix it, if the problem isn't caused by lack of jobs.
More interesting is why choose these shitty providers?
