I agree it's not as easy as starting a wordpress.com site or even a self hosted Wordpress site if the host has a 1 click builder, but if a user can figure out basic PHP hosting, they can run Kirby (and presumably Grav).

Grav's advantage over Kirby is that it's totally FOSS, but I encountered Kirby first and have a more thorough understanding of how it works. The maintainers and community are also quite helpful as well as super lenient about unlicensed usage.
I think these overhead numbers are quoted as the percentage on top of what gets spent, rather than the percentage of the incoming cash. 50% overhead means that buying a 1M machine involves giving 500K to the institution.

(Still crazy high, of course!)
So the dotfile is resolved but the solution:

shopt -s dotglob; for i in *; do echo -n "$i "; done

still isn't valid unfortunately because of the extra space at the end, maybe it should be more forgiving about that.
Skype for Business (or whatever the legacy chat product is or has been called) dates back to 2007 and was typically present in your EA seat license bundle. Slack might be better than Skype, but it’s weird to suggest that getting into a market with an established history suddenly becomes anti-competitive only as soon as your competitor actually produces something that’s not a raging dumpster fire.
As an investor, all I can say is that having gone through YC is not the signal of quality it was 7 or 8 years ago. This doesn't mean YC is doing anything wrong regarding their investment strategy. It simply means they are expecting a very skewed power law of returns.
I don't think so. Computing the discrete log of g^x assumes g to be known. In RSA the ciphertext is c = m^e and by definition, m is unknown.

The reverse operation of RSA is the modular e-th root, not the discrete log.
Ha, hah! The NYT has the gall to accuse someone else of doing the same thing they do!

Yes I think Krebs went over the line for no good reason other than maybe thinking he was scooping all the other people in cybersecurity, but they NYT is also not blameless and will do whatever advances their own agenda. Maybe they’ll be introspective about this, but I doubt it.
The introduction of the test itself may change its effectiveness (reducing it). Cancer is an evolving condition that your immune system fights. Perhaps it's not very useful to characterize the test before it's applied since the test itself may change its efficacy. If you start exercising and dieting in response to the potential diagnosis it'll definitely help.

If we had a test that detected everyone and they believed it, we'd improve cancer rates.
>Especially since many of the countries that have locked down and then opened up are seeing a resurgence of the disease

Isnt that the expected result? Did anyone think something else would happen? The original communication everyone was fed was "hospitals arent ready, close down to flatten the curve to buy time." They asked for a delay, not spread prevention. Spread prevention being, stay locked down forever until everybody gets its slowly.

I pulled this data from the Twitter Premium API using primarily the counts endpoint for tweets mentioning Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter. I was able to pull the aggregate # of Tweet mentions over time for these topics, as well as # of Tweets by State over time.
Tegnell reflected on mistakes in his approach. News that was quickly rephrased as "Wrong approach admitted" (e.g. by Bloomberg).

That's more than we can say for US/China. They keep up the appearance of being "the best". While the approach of Sweden was much more measured and transparent in my opinion.

Also, Sweden left it's constitution in full effect. Most countries did not, which I find VERY problematic. Constitutions should be pandemic proof.
For what it's worth, I prefer Pelican, largely because I can write a plugin if I need, without incurring significant brain damage.

It is absolutely a pain. I'm using S3 for the first time on a project right now and literally every time I have to do anything in AWS I end up confused and scared that I'm leaving a wide open security vulnerability. The documentation is complete insanity to anyone just trying to accomplish what should be an extremely common use case in a reasonable amount of time.

Before using AWS I was in the 'what morons!' camp whenever some company got breached via leaving things wide open on AWS. Now I'm in the 'ok I understand why its so common' camp.
According to:

https://covid19.healthdata.org/sweden

Germany is currently socially distancing at a similar rate as Sweden.

They previously had stricter social distancing and have far fewer per-capita infections and deaths, but the model says they’ll hit a nasty second wave in mid October.

Time will tell whether Sweden’s bet pays off in the long term.
This reasoning seems weird to me, and your examples aren't helping things. Like, sending off an OS in 2020 that had no browser or media player would obviously be extremely silly, and would present a terrible user experience for people.

I just can't see including a browser in an OS as some evil practice. It just seems like obvious good sense.

> adding new features to it that are in direction competition with other products is anti-competitive behaviour.

Probably any new feature you could think to add to Office exists somewhere on the internet already, in some form. Is MS just not allowed to add new things now?

Or what if MS manages to add something first, then an upstart competitor appears right after? Does it not count as anti-competitive then?
> Think it's a shame that [...] the Chromebook is the "standard" for kids and classrooms.

Chromebooks are cheap to buy and maintain, that's why they are in classrooms.

Whatever the $OS, we don't #teach# privacy. In fact, privacy and critical thinking are the subjects that we teach #worse# than math.

Although Chromebooks are GOOGware, you can make them better by switching to dev mode and installing SeaBIOS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaBIOS). I boot Debian Linux on a CB with premium hardware. Cheapest "ultrabook" that you get, and with Firefox DoH and ESNI, you bleed less into the surveillance system.
I think gamification is a misunderstanding of why communities are built around games and people encouraged to improve their skills to rank up.

Instead why not organize a catch-all chat for people to talk, like a Discord. Let people talk off-topic and organize to play games and such as a class if they want.

If you really need something that's only for a single thread, then using TLS is gonna be better than a static.

(I actually want to write a blog post about this... haven't done so yet though. People reach for static too often and thread_local! too little, IMHO. Of course, not needing either is best.)
There's a lot to this, if you look hard enough you'll find something wrong. But that something wrong probably would have never progressed into something that kills you - however the interventions you then undergo are not without risk. Like if you have the slow-growing prostate cancer, you'll die of something else. But if you operate you're taking risks of surgery and lifetime incontinence, and might spread it elsewhere in the body.

However, I still think early detection is an important first step to finding better interventions. Once you know it's there you can start to come up with less risky/invasive treatments. The odds of dealing with it at an early stage are so much better and the scope of the intervention required so much smaller.
No one is actively trying to build nuclear cars however. Additionally, no one has a prototype nuclear car, because that is a stupid and very dangerous idea.

There is a prototype cybertruck, and Tesla is about to announce the location for the factory to build them. It will be either Tulsa, OK or just outside of Austin, TX.

ClickHouse's intial release was circa 2016 IIRC. The work I was doing at NGINX predates ClickHouse's initial release by 1-2 years.

ClickHouse was certainly something we evaluated later on when we were looking at moving to a true columnar storage approach, but like most columnar systems there are trade-offs.

* Partial SQL support.

* No transactions (not ACID).

* Certain workloads are less efficient like updates and deletes, or single key look ups.

None of these are unique to ClickHouse, they are fairly well known trade-offs most columnar stores make to improve write throughput and prioritize high scaling sequential read performance. As I mentioned before, the amount of data we were ingesting never really reached the limits of even Postgres 9.4, so we didn't feel like we had to make those trade-offs...yet.

I would imagine that servicing ad events is several factors larger scale than we were dealing with.
Most laws in biology or evolutionary theory are proposed by philosophers of science or by scientists trying to impress philosophers of science.

How Quickly Can Atoms Slip, Ghostlike, Through Barriers?
I find it disturbing that this is getting so much attention. The argument (such as it is) is utterly without merit, unsupported by anything other than the tweeter's personal opinion. It is, quite simply, a troll. And it seems to be working.

In fact, the whole cultural phenomenon of paying attention to what people tweet is deeply disturbing. Twitter is not designed to support rational argument supported by data, it's designed to be a morphine drip of novelty, a machine that dispenses mental M&Ms. People who follow twitter are like lab rats pressing a lever in exchange for a drop of sugar water. It's troubling to see this phenomenon invading HN.
I have no idea what the obsession with 'Cameron Winklevoss' is but it's kind of funny that he's an actual person and not some tradition like 'Alice' and 'Bob' in cryptography.

Also the inhabitant of the empty set is omnipotent, so the first assumption is actually that there is no God.
You can study without paying tens of thousands of dollars.

I always wonder how such an approach works towards building maintainable software whose scale is not trivial. Even assuming the code is reviewed unit tested, but still without some kind of design doc guiding the overall structure, and interactions wouldn't it lead to hard to maintain software ?
The problem with gap years is you loose an additional year of income at the college graduate level on the backend, that's a pretty big missed financial opportunity. With the economy in the state it's in now, it's unlikely most college students will be able to land decent paying jobs during a gap year, if they can find a job at all. Better to just finish the degree as quickly as possible and be ready to enter the work force as a college graduate when, in a couple of years, our economy should be in a strong rebound.

We have 3 college students in our household. We've had these conversations many times in our house over the last few months. The above is the conclusion I've come to for my own kids, that a gap year is basically a waste of time in the current economy. The last thing I'll add is we are saving some money on online classes, room and board makes up roughly $10,000-$15,000 of the cost of sending a kid to college, having the kids at home doing online classes at least saves us that.
> I guess the problem here is many people publish publicly on the Internet not expecting much of anything. And then after they become notorious they may regret giving up their privacy.

I will definitely tell my kids to never use their real names online. Maybe let them brainstorm an alias they will use consistently, so that their friends will know. Just in case they would want one day to have a fresh start, get rid of whatever haters and stalkers they happened to collect in the past, etc.

Unfortunately, in the Age of Online Advertising, many websites have using the real name as a condition in their terms of service. They will not verify the name when you create the account, but they might do it later if someone reports you. Should I teach them to lie? Should I teach them to use a fake photo? Sooner or later someone will upload a photo with them, and tag them, anyway.

Also, if you use a pseudonym, you better make a habit of changing it regularly, because at some moment someone will dox you.

...and that's with the technology we have today. Maybe in the near future an artificial intelligence will connect everything you ever wrote online, regardless of the pseudonyms or whatever, based on the statistical analysis of your writing, or something like that.

Texas Coronavirus Numbers Show Covid-19 3X Less Lethal Than Last Two Flu Seasons
Hey, thanks for the reply, and I should apologise to you: While it still seems to me that the cause, effect & justification for leaving medium seems strange, I didn't mean to accuse you of intentionally lying or deceiving people in your article, sorry for the terrible wording.
Color me extremely skeptical. A low-pass filter will make short work of any "tiny, pixel-level" changes designed to thwart ML. After all, one of the most tell-tale identifiers (space between eyes/nose/mouth) is still plainly observable and unaltered in the "cloaked" image.

If a human's neural network can correctly correlate the before/after examples, so can a computer's. They might have found an issue with some modern implementations of facial recognition, sure. But it's a false sense of security to claim "when someone tries to identify you using an unaltered image of you [...] they will fail."
Silently wishing Zoom would buy them and become the ultimate workplace productivity company...
Why can't a chat platform be a product? Chat has only been free when run by volunteers or funded directly or indirectly by ad revenue or bundling with another service. Slack is not MSN messenger, it's an team communication package for companies in the same way that, for example, Zoom is, though the two have different primary focuses.

Jeez CNN is really terrible. The Myasishchev VM-T didn't "carry the spacecraft unassembled" as anyone with eyes can plainly see, and the AN-225 was designed as a replacement for the VM-T (and, truth be told, as a sort of stunt).

Underrated comment. The “school” rating is meaningless. Even the “department” is meaningless. It all comes down to your advisor.

Our department had amazing advisors and horrible advisors. Two people could be in the same PhD program and have polar opposite experiences.

In fact, if you want reviews it’s not hard - just ask current students about other advisors. Rumors move fast and I’ve found you’ll get an honest opinion.

Ask, rather than tell. We spend a tremendous amount of time telling, even yelling, over people who may say things we do not wish to hear. Rote responses appear on our lips and it is no coincidence that those responses are ideal for getting people out of our way, leaving them to puzzle over unanswerable questions like "How do you know it won't get better?" Nobody truly knows that, but would you bet on it? Bet on it enough to suffer consequences? We do not ask that, we say, "a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

The entire concept is surrounded by an interlocking complex of memes that very neatly steer us away from grappling with a thorny subject: the true suffering of others. That must be dismantled before we can begin to start gathering data.
Rust doesn't accept "but my program is single-threaded!" as an answer. The language doesn't believe you. Every global has to be thread-safe, or marked as `unsafe` to use.

I generally agree. I think Slack had a very small window to keep pushing and missed it. (The complement didn't have to be an office suite, but that's the most obvious one.)

What it needs now is someone who can add (for want of a better term) "knowledge management". The search sucks; it is just garbage. But beyond fixing search, it needs... something. I started sketching an idea involving users tagging comments as a baseline something to try to make it more than a realtime stream of undifferentiated business info.

Your Slack history contains a ton of info your company needs. Too bad you can't find it if someone said it last week.

Our (Germany) rates are actually somewhat surprising to me. We seem to generally have done very well when compared to other (European) countries of similar density.
This is not really true. For one thing both cases and deaths have been strongly clustered so that population level rates are not so interesting. What matters is whether your ancestors adapted to life in northern latitudes, what your weight, insulin resistance, and vitamin D levels are, and how densely urbanized your environment is. Another factor is that Sweden aggressively labeled all hospitalizations and deaths involving a COVID-19 diagnosis as being COVID-19 cases and deaths even if the patients were very old and had chronic health problems. This is a major difference between both Denmark and Finland which tended to be very cautious about labeling hospitalizations and deaths as COVID-19 related and had low testing rates as well. Looking at all cause mortality figures yields very different results.
Many other countries (especially the US) also screwed up their handling of old folks homes.

Also, I don’t know what data you are citing, but note that many data sets are normalized by number of estimated or confirmed of cases, not by total population size.
Very inspirational, man! Keep it up!
Right. The denominator in rate is per "unit of time" and we dont know the period. The two ways you could compare them are equal points on a bell curve, or equal time periods. What you can't do is compare two instantaneous speeds and then argue that one car has a faster average speed.
I couldn't disagree more. Connect is written in Flash and has serious stability issues. For better or for worse Zoom is stable and intuitive for adult learning.
Do we have any templates for design docs created by Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.,?

Not to be negative - My problem is there is no spec/standard template for design docs (like someone compared it with Blueprints). If we have a template approved by industry leaders - it will be convenient. Otherwise everyone creates them in their own way - convenient for their use cases. But this will miss the consistency and all necessary ingredients. This ends up these docs fading out with time.

Also, when design changes - these docs need to be updated. People don't do this. After a while, design docs become obsolete & overhead.

Machine Learning Summer School 2020 Notes: Causality
It sounds like this is a benefit of functional regulatory laws in American cities.

If this wasn't required to be a public-transportation-providing parking lot most of the time, it would instead be some hyper-expensive privately-owned-and-operated building, just like the hundreds of other buildings in the city.

Buildings that Reef can't afford or use, and that most restaurants could not sustainably afford to operate within.

The fact that this land is used "inefficiently" is a feature, not a bug. It puts a soft-cap on the possible land value, which retains that land to be used temporarily in good ways. Without that cap, the land would just be permanently wasted in bad ways, because any good use would never be able to afford it.
> Small sample size, but this is consistent with what I've observed in some specialized people

The data from large samples points the other way here. Every measurable trait that you might describe as smart (like ability in math, or music, or languages, or remembering cards) correlates positively with the others.
It's missing some kind of wavy background thing in the hero section.
I think they were using "design" as akin to the blueprint to the building. I totally agree with them that in that sense, the code is the blueprint, not the building. The execution of the program is the analogy to the actual construction: the builder (computer) takes the blueprint (code) and builds the building (executes the program) based on it. The power of computers is that the "building" (execution) part is essentially free and infinitely reproducible. But the creation of the "blueprint" (code) is still labor intensive.

The right analogy for design artifacts really is to the higher-level vision definition for a project. Engineers don't just show up and start drawing blueprints; one or more people come up with a purpose and concept for a building project, brainstorm approaches, evaluate trade-offs, come to some consensus on the right direction, and only then start working with engineers to start creating and iterating on blueprints. This vision phase is where design docs fit.
