I doubt the people who build homes buy their wood at Home Depot. That would be needlessly expensive for someone who can justify buying it in bulk. Home Depot is where you go for a little wood to patch up your porch or build a shed.
Those small channels should enable monetization tbh and just recommend adblockers to their viewers. That way the algoritm doesn't punish them. I know Franlab does so and it works.
This is not surprising. The average entrepreneur is actually 40 years old when launching his or her first startup--and the average age of leaders of high-growth startups is 45 years old.

Iceland, of course, has only 360.000 inhabitants.
The articles you point to note that the sightings were investigated on Jan 11-13, and the investigators found nothing. It doesn't prove that the previous sightings were an invention. The War Zone (OP) article also says that reports of sightings ended around mid-January.

I don't know what people saw out there. But I don't think one three-night investigation is enough to completely discredit all of those very detailed reports, especially given (1) how close together they are in time, (2) that reporting dropped off in multiple states at a similar point, (3) that there are matching descriptions from people who were quite far apart, and (4) that some were from pilots and others using night vision.

It could still be imagination, I just don't think your links provide enough to conclude that.
In my opinion a catch-all framework such as React native (and even before that, Appcelerator) costs you more in the long run than just jumping in and developing natively for each platform. On the surface these frameworks look great, write once deploy anywhere etc etc. The trouble is that deliberately choosing to put a barrier like this between you and every platform means you are tied to the development progress of the intermediate platform. Its like sticking a plastic toy steering wheel on top of the steering wheel in your car. Also, I don’t think the promise of ‘write once’ is ever fulfilled. I think you will always find yourself with different edge cases for IOS, Android and Web that take up more time than its worth. You’ll spend more time dealing with edge cases than you saved by not just going native.

My opinion is to forget React native or any other framework that promises the world, and just get your team to build native IOS and Android apps. You have clever people that can handle both. Also, most mobile developers are proficient in Android and IOS.

Lastly, I think your team would likely enjoy the chance to learn Swift for IOS and continue using Java/Kotlin for Android. Give them a week and I bet they could build you two great looking demo apps in both platforms with no need for React native weighing them down. Try it. One or two weeks. See what your team can do. I bet it’s a lot.

Go for long term speed, efficiency, simplicity and core platform knowledge and drop the quick win, promise laden ball-and-chain frameworks such as react native. You don’t need it.

Just my opinion :-D
I don't think this is accurate...

Adblock Plus for example uses EasyList by default, and that contains this rule to block the ads:

youtube.com#@#.video-ads

Your claim might still be correct if google keeps that class name to avoid breaking adblockers (considering most other class names on google properties are randomly generated and change each week)
unfortunately not, but luckily with this new api it shouldn't matter for too much longer :-)
>> Schools across Europe have opened. Children rarely spread the disease. Doctors recommend schools open.

False on all three counts. Stop spreading misinformation and propaganda, thanks.
As I pointed out downthread, there's a Kings College study under review that says antibodies seems to wane rapidly:

https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/With-coronavirus-...

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.09.20148429v....

Likewise, asymptomatic cases appear to have limited immune duration and development:

https://www.jci.org/articles/view/138759#ABS

And meaningful immunity might depend on how much of the virus one is exposed to:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0965-6

If this research holds up, we'll have your well documented cases in probably 3-6 months. Frontline doctors, outside the one cited in the Vox article, are already insisting its true.
Looks like Nim uses let and var to declare immutable and mutable variables. I prefer this to var and val in Scala

That’s also how Swift does it too.

Throw in type inference and statically typed languages look much nicer.

Swift uses C style braces, while Nim seems to use white space like Python.
You can't say "you should clean for the future of these kids, not money" or similar with as much support from society for cleaning as easily as one can for teaching.
Executives are shockingly idiotic about software development, and considering their business sinks or swims on the success of software in very very many cases, it is a major failing of MBA factories.

I actually consider software / IT management to be more important than accounting, and every MBA person takes finance/accounting.
Seems quite presumptuous to assume those choices were not adding value. Would you be able to tell if they were?

Most importantly, as mentioned in the article, engineering teams need (and want) clear business goals. There is a huge chasm between having an expected ROI vs having no targets at all.

I hope you're joking. Pretty much all the potentially usable land in Canada is already in use, regardless of climate change. The issue with Canadian agricultural lands isn't climate it's soil quality. Almost everything else isn't going to be arable because it's thin soils over granite bedrock (Canadian shield). If you go really far north there's areas in permafrost but that's a) arid and b) would be poor fertility anyways. Likely to desertify if it actually got that warm.
Construction and manufacturing are very much about following defined instructions and processes and not updating or deviating from them without good reason. (Obviously there's a lot of Get Stuff Done too, where people ignore the above rules).

Manufacturing Management is also all about metrics and counting productivity. Trying to apply similar metrics to tech leads to things like counting developers lines of code or defects.

---

Edit: another aspect of manufacturing is limiting waste. In Toyota Production system this is called Muda - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muda_(Japanese_term)

Waste of overproduction (largest waste)

Waste of time on hand (waiting)

Waste of transportation

Waste of processing itself

Waste of excess inventory

Waste of movement

Waste of making defective products

Waste of underutilized workers

You can look at the other goals of TPS and see how they may or may not apply to software engineering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Production_System

I'm not saying these are bad ideas or don't apply to software engineering, but I am saying that they don't apply in the same way.
I've thought a lot about how Google is fucking privacy over, but I haven't appreciated how badly they've managed to hamper the web.

It's not entirely their fault, SEO hacking isn't an easy problem, but the open web has certainly faltered under their stewardship.

It's so incompetent it almost looks like an effort to make it harder to find things without having Google's AI cut it into small bite sized pieces.

I think Google and Facebook have a lot to atone for.
Worthwhile checking YouTube Vanced too. It looks and acts more like youtube, but newpipe has it's benefits too
For the teachers whose calling is teaching, I can see them moving to this part-time: https://outschool.com

My wife and I were concerned about our daughter getting isolated. We don't want her on social media, but we do think it is important for her to connect with her affinity group, and explore her passions. I found out about outschool recently, and it looked like exactly what we needed to address this.

The classes and activities on outschool don't conform to any national standard. Instead, teachers, both accredited and non-accredited, can teach subjects they are interested in teaching. In turn, technology is used to connect interested students together with the teacher.

There are some really unusual things that connects different disciplines together in a more wholistic way. Such as a class on world architecture using Mindcraft.

Teacher set their own pricing at a minimum of $10 for a course, and the platform takes 30%. Some are prerecorded and some are live. The intended audience if k-12.
I am lucky enough that the local school district and university my kids go to are either outright online, or offering online options. But if that were not the case, I would be where you are, and I would also support teachers striking over the lack of fundamental workplace safety of in person teaching right now. From the rough impressions of my reading of research, indoor transmission in groups is the easiest way to pass an infection.

> Previous theories concerning hitmen from Saudi Arabia, Nigerian gangs, Chinese government involvement, and other salacious tales were really something.

I mean everyone in the crypto space probably knows or at least knows of someone who has been cut up and dismembered, so it's not really that crazy. A lot of people here are founders, so that's the kind of thing we naturally worry about. I.e. you can probably get a better valuation if you skip the middlemen and go straight to family offices, especially ones in foreign countries, but then again if you take money from Ron Conway and things go sideways he's probably not going to send people to kill you.
One possibly relevant question (I'm not considering moving to Canada myself): what are the travel restrictions to Canada due to the epidemic? — Would someone actually be able to get a visa, a flight, and an apartment right now?

I was somewhat surprised that a Canadian friend even succeeded in moving from one city to another during the epidemic (I mean, not because of legal obstacles, just logistical obstacles).
I can tell you for sure that I've been seeing Youtube ads even though I use uBlock Origin. So they definitely don't try to avoid adblockers.
Georgia Massaged Data to Reopen, Then Voided Mask Orders
I emigrated to the USA when I was 24 and have lived here for nearly 32 years. My step-father used to hate the "fake" "have a nice day" stuff in the US, but on his second visit, he realized that he was starting to like it. He knew it was "fake", but he knew that the person saying it knew too, and he came to understand that it was just a way to provide a more pleasant atmosphere. By giving into it just a little bit, a positive feedback loop starts to run, and everybody wins.

ps. my kids think that i'm grumpy, bad tempered and pessimistic :) they're right about one of them.

Don't beat yourself up. Everyone has their own circumstances and its not even like you can expect 'high performers' are actually telling the truth. It's like people who lie on their Resume or those who 'do nothing but look busy' at work. Most are just trying to build impressions.
Try to squeeze whatever time you can comfortably out of your schedule until you find the idea that truly excites you. Then you will find the extra energy you need. It won't always go smooth. You will be exhausted at times, which is ok, that's just a signal to take a break; for few hours or few days. If you can't get going at all, you are probably working on something that sub-consciously you know isn't worth the pain.
Having a good co-founder or being part of a community helps and can make things move faster. But remember, most of the times when people say they launched something in 3-4 weeks while working 12-18 hours a day; they are skipping the part where they spent months in stress and no/low productivity until they finally stumbled upon the idea (and figured out the logistics) that got them going!
>Ah, I see you take the Trumpian line of "it's everybody else's fault except me!". It became political in your country because the dozy muppet you elected as president can't actually deal with anything.

I'm pro-mask and anti-Trump. Let's be clear. The world's leading experts gave us mask advice that they knew was a lie and likely lead to the deaths of tens of thousands additional people. No one has been fired. No one has had to resign in disgrace. Yes, I'm more upset at them than I am at some rando at the grocery store who doesn't want to wear a mask.

>It's the reality on the ground. Other countries are gradually opening up their "draconian measures" and are managing to contain the virus. If you can't do that, it's your own failure.

If you don't have a definitive answer to what is the maximum time for how long you'd continue the draconian measures, you're not even in the conversation.

Our strategy from very early on was to flatten the curve so our hospitals weren't overrun. We succeeded, our hospitals have not been overrun. We're building herd immunity at a faster rate than other countries. It's totally fair to criticize that, but not without the context of the fact that other countries will eventually have to deal with this by building their own herd immunity. It appears they are choosing to spread that process out over a longer period of time. That's a very reasonable strategy also. Discussing different strategies is totally fair, but if all you can say is insult people by saying "You're not taking death seriously!" you're not participating in the conversation.
AR500 is absolute garbage. Do yourself a favor and look into ceramic plates produced by Hesco or spend a bit more on some flexible armor from SafeLifeDefense.
Downvoted this for complaining about downvotes, breaking site guidelines (oh, not only that, it combines snark and insinuation about astroturfing too). Votes swing a lot, so when more votes come in and previously downvoted comments turn positive, complaints like this just end up as pure noise. Happens all the time.
Well I would say even a grocery worker is safer because

* They are generally working in a much larger space like a big store, so not confined into a small classroom
* The small space teachers are in are filled with kids that are obviously the most unhygienic. Try as they will, it's way more risky than being filled with adults(ok lots of adults that are less responsible than a 5 year old, I know) who are wearing masks and attempting to keep distancing
Thats fine. They can have a locked-down by default setting that you can pay extra for. The rest of us would like an open store.

Here in the UK we waste about 20 percent of all the treated water through leaks (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/may/11/water-co...)

Looks like somewhere around 3 percent of gas is lost through the system - is this leaks or other issues the article asks: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-much-natural-...

That is only when gas has reached the supplier. Don't forget gas is also lost when drilling and also lost in huge amounts when drilling for oil. Gut feel, from the limited research I've done I would guess losses as far above the 1/28th sadly.
I agree that's a major part of the problem.
It works well for me on Android TV with Nvidia Shield. At one point I noticed after a Newpipe upgrade I couldn't get the cursor to go down to the list of videos. So I downgraded for a couple of weeks. Then when the next version came out I tried it and it was fine again.

One weird thing I noticed was that I used to be able to get a mouse style cursor with the right stick, but that stopped working at some point. Not sure if the change was NewPipe or OS level, but it's still manageable.

If you have USB ports you can always try other types of inputs. Aside from plain keyboard/mouse, there are a bunch of interesting options these days.
True I had the same concerns, but super low interest rates distort the picture. Also, while buying now is risky, you are likely to only lose one or two hundred K of value in a recession at most, and that will pop back over time, so long term buyers should be OK.

Paid way too much recently for a townhouse in Ballard, but at the end of the day it seems like a pretty sound decision (we aren't buying for investing, but for living).
Chinese media speculate government will give up Three Gorges Dam
Yes, the counter is simple.

One reason is obviously that writing something in 30+ different framework that you need to "learn" is quite some work :) (10x more that I initially thought :D)

The other reason is that a simple component actually amplify the cost of the framework. And if you think about it, with a more complex component, what you have is more HTML, more CSS and more JS but they are essentially always the same. Only the binding are different from one framework to another.
So in the end, the counter is actually a good representation of the cost related to the technology.

This been said, to be correct, the benchmark component should use more capabilities like slots and events to really cover the wide range of capabilities.

This is something we have in mind for a future update of the blog post...
Wow. Way to take a trip to the imagination zoo.

It's simple. You undermine the public order, you are held accountable. If the boss doesn't want to do the job, the boss of the boss will do it.

What the hell do political donations have to do with this. People need to get better at the game of figuring out whether something is an actual game.

I bet you're a software developer. I'm one myself. We have a tendency to over-analyze the heck out of everything.
On the other hand, blocking absolutely adequate YouTube accounts (engineering, education, history) without explanation and appeal process is super unethical. Creating monopoly (which definition YouTube perfectly fits) is not only unethical, but against the law, as well as constant user's privacy violations.

I had no idea there was more to the page because of the weird scrolling on the site, so I missed the glycan (sugar) stuff, which is my bread and butter.

I think the consensus is that there is not likely any shielding going on with the glycans (like what you would find with HIV), but there are glycans that stabilise the ACE2 binding part. Also, people have found glycans on a protein cleavage region, which I would expect could impart resistance to cleavage (a predictor I wrote from a few years back correctly predicted those sites).
True. But in this case, you'd have to ensure you went through the process of truly re-implementing the algorithm of the recipe, and stripping out all non-algorithmic components of the instructions. For example, a step in an icing recipe[1] may say something like:

Gradually beat in just enough milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Frosts 13x9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.

The only "algorithmic" component to that step is that you add milk. The fact that you do so gradually, use a beater during the process, how you identify when you've added enough, how to correct for deviations in viscosity of the mixture, etc are all part of the "source code" rather than the algorithm and wouldn't be something you could republish without being considered a derivative work.

The recipe without those contextual components may still be useful for those sufficiently familiar with baking, but for many people following a recipe, they'd likely need such contextual components to follow the recipe successfully.

I was referring to the previous commenter's claim of houses selling for less than list price a year ago.
Well, the iPhone SE has really poor specs compared to an Android of the same price IMO. The SoC is up to date, but the screen is only LCD, the bezels are huge (the screen to body ratio is very low) and the camera is only adequate.

Basically you're buying a 4-year-old phone with a modern SoC in it :) I don't think that is worth the price they are asking. I paid the same (440 euro) for my S8 3 years ago (it was out a bit over a year), and it already had a beautiful AMOLED screen, high screen to body ratio, and in particular DeX which I can't really do without anymore. And it's still fast enough now. I upgraded to that from my iPhone 6 which was becoming way too slow at that point (note: iOS 12 did fix this somewhat but by that time I had already had enough of it). Overall, the S8 aged better for me than the iPhone 6 did.

Compared to what you can get from Apple now vs the Android vendors, Apple is only ahead in terms of SoC when you're looking in the same price bracket. But that's not the only spec that matters.

YouTube is one of the worst Android apps in regards of usability, accidental clicks, and anoying ads.

It would be great if there was a way installing the app without allowing third party sources.
