I'm sure it's very disappointing but I'd point out that, as you probably know, Japan has travel bans that apply to the vast majority of the planet:

It's hardly some unique ban that applies to the US.
It is being singled out by the campaign, though.
I remember reading a developer's horror story about working for an aspiring porn actress. He ran her site, monetized it and worked with her to get her videos out to larger sites and generate traffic for those so she could "move up in the industry".

The whole process sounded really seedy, and the parenting comments made by him the other guy who worked there were pretty distressing. Her kids (two boys, one girl all under 10) walking around while they were editing her porn scenes, all the marketing materials out in plain view of the kids as well.

He the nail in the coffin was when she stopped paying him and offered him sex instead for payment.

He said it was his first and last job in the industry. He said it also created a problem on what he should put on his resume for the time he worked for her. The suggestions on the site were pretty funny, but it was clear his experience was not like yours.
You can 'reverse engineer' DNA. Though the DNA strand itself deteriorates rather quickly given the time scales. The peptide bond are extremely robust and can be used to recreate the original DNA string or at least some semblance of it.
The pinephone recently got a 40% increase in idle battery life to ~100 hours with the modem off and ~24 with it on https://www.pine64.org/2020/07/15/july-updatepmos-ce-pre-ord... (control-f search for "crust"). I would hazard a guess that this might be portable to the Librem 5 (but maybe they already implemented it, IDK).

You've mistaken a question for a statement. The question being, how is it possible to know if the Intel design/architecture would be competitive or not if it were made on the same process as AMD is using.

It's hard to have this conversation with people. I believe that the morbidity rate is lower than we have estimated. Sure, we probably have a lot of people who have had the virus and didn't develop symptoms. But we are still on our way to a million dead, so that hardly matters.

The other aspect the lackadaisical are ignoring is that the morbidity rate is only where it is because the number of critical patients is hovering around the carrying capacity of our medical infrastructure. More cases means a dog-leg in deaths because they will have to give up on people to save others. There will be no more heroic actions to save mom or dad once you can fill the ICU entirely with people with far better prognoses. Mom isn't going into the ICU because it's already full of athletes and people under 30. She's going on morphine and you can say goodbye over a phone.

> From the memetic point of view, they’re as complementary as caterpillars and butterflies. Instead of judging, we just note that somehow we accidentally created a replicator, and replicators are going to replicate until something makes them stop.

Caterpillar DNA is butterfly DNA. Toxoplasma DNA in the cat is toxoplasma DNA in the rat.

While there's poetry to saying the hatred is a single life form regardless of where it lives, I think it's a more accurate model to say there are two symbiotic replicators, whose impact on the environment (mostly) makes it more hospitable for the other. Bombs, however directed, contain only a tiny portion of the information content making up the meme.

> If someone came up to criticize it, obviously they were a criminal, and the benevolent Tito, in his love and mercy, would have them locked away so as to prevent them from further damaging glorious Yugoslavian society

Do you have any examples of such people "locked away"? I don't believe you'd find any as soon as the years of breaking up with Stalin passed.

The politics of the country was such that it was really between NATO countries and Soviet-Union countries, and people from there were able to travel freely in both directions, so it was opposite of needing to "lock away" anybody for something.

Only Stalin's sympathizers were "locked away" at these post WW-II break up times, around 1948. There is enough material about that. But for some other ideas?

One of the most interesting story from these times and these places was "Purloined Yak":

https://www.airforcemag.com/article/0604yak/

"Tito believed that survival of his government depended upon getting the support of Western powers, particularly the United States. The US saw an opportunity to use a split in the communist bloc to its advantage, including gaining a foothold in the Balkans to help defuse the communist problem facing NATO member Greece.

Starting in 1949, Western nations began limited economic support to Yugoslavia. Two years later, the US began shipping weapons to Tito. Some unofficial sources claim that US military personnel were also sent to Yugoslavia in the early 1950s to help train the Yugoslav Air Force.

In October 1953, the opportunity to provide the US with a Soviet-built fighter aircraft—even temporarily—would have seemed a ready-made way to further cement US-Yugoslav relations."

This is hilarious, I realized the exact same thing about the F-91w after wearing them for 3 or 4 years. Another alternative is the Casio F-84w, which is almost completely identical to the F-91w. It's slightly more expensive, but the default strap has small circular rather than wide ovular notches. This seems to have completely fixed the strap weakening/breaking problem. I have only had it for about a year, but it shows no signs of letting up anytime soon.

I'm curious how QuestDB handles dimensions. OLAP support with reasonably large number of dimensions and cardinality in the range of at least thousands is a must for modern-day time series database. Otherwise, what we get is only incremental improvement to Graphite -- a darling among startups, I understand, but a non-scalable extremely hard to use timeseries database nonetheless.

A common flaw I see in many time-series DBs is that they store one time series per combination of dimensions. As a result, any aggregation will result in scanning of potentially millions of time series. If any time-series DB claims that it is backed up by a key-value store, say, Cassandra, then the DB will have the aforementioned issue. For instance, Uber's M3 used to be backed up by Cassandra, and therefore would give this mysterious warning that an aggregation function exceeded the quota of 10,000 time series, even though from user's point of view the function dealt with a single time series with a number of dimensions.
> For years, you had to turn of 2fa enforcement for the whole org, or do janky hacks with special groups and policy exceptions for groups to onboard new employees because they hadn't gotten around to a first time login flow that had a mandatory 2fa enrollment; instead they'd just prompt for the 2fa code you couldn't have setup.

That's still the case. We require 2FA, and 2FA setup on first login, but then you can't log in the first time because you don't have 2FA. We have a group we put new employees in so that they can set it up, then we remove them afterward.

>You can always arrange for the logging to happen outside the critical path, which is a tiny minority of the code you run. And you will do that if its necessary to gain a fraction of a microsecond on a competitive trade. Even if it's just being able to run a build with logging off for special cases.

Yes you can do that. Yes you'd think that anyone for whom it would be beneficial would do that... but you'd be surprised how often people run with logs cranked to 11 in prod.
Under funding and subsequently under staffing federal organizations to "defang" them or to show them as being ineffective to support a position of reorganization and subsequent merger with another organization to alter who has oversight (as a power play) or to just remove them completely has been a long-time page in the political playbook. This is an sub element of the "starve the beast" approach and has been well documented [1]. To be clear, I'm not here to argue the efficacy of this approach but merely to point out it is real and is happening.

> The Russians didn't have an Empire.

Russia was the metropole of an empire not only under the czars but through the entire Soviet period.

The metropole dictating to peripheries does, whether the latter are formally independent or openly dependent territories does, and the US is a metropole which has many (and has had previously had more) of both kinds of peripheries.
The thought process and conversations that produced the code give insight into how to more generally produce code of that kind. Typically code currently in use is in continuity with code that was previously used, either as a system dependency or conceptual dependency. So it's still useful to have history around, like it would be to have comments in current code.

For the same reason news coverage of things that are bad for everyone focus on how it's bad for black people, or how it's bad for women. Because the press seem categorically incapable of covering negative aspects of society without a uniquely-victimized or uniquely-malicious group involved.

The conventional wisdom is that they need an angle to make readers care. My hot take is that they're too fucking thick to even begin making an intelligent analysis of anything but the most black-and-white topics. If something is actually contentious they just report on a handful of fashionable opinions as co-equal, trashtalk the low-status opinions, and don't even bother acknowledging the principals and/or perceived realities that lead people to various opinions.
Lumping FAANG like that (an acronym originally created by Jim Cramer to denote high-growth tech stocks) seems dubious. What does hosting a Netflix do for a country?

Certainly, in the balance of probabilities the WHO's guidance is more likely to be correct than incorrect. It's certainly more likely to be correct than a layperson's.

But it's not SO overwhelmingly likely to be correct that all of the big 3 social networks (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube) need to have a policy of aggressively removing anyone who contradicts them.

Even though I agree the WHO is probably right about most things, it's far below the level of certainty you'd need to justify these overreactions. It doesn't even have the intended effect of preventing irresponsible behavior by gullible people; the COVID19 hoaxers are getting way more ammunition out of the media's censorious behaviour than they would out of Trump Jr's bad medical advice.

DBOS: A Proposal for a Data-Centric Operating System
Do you worry that you're taking money at a valuation that's predicated on artificially and transiently elevated demand? It doesn't sound like you have a business compatible with the VC hyper-growth model, outside of the present extraordinary circumstances.

It also feels intuitively like many person counting use cases are satisfactorily addressed by far simpler and lower cost heuristics such as, for example, Google lining up device 'throughput' with lat/long and business records. In fact, I just used their estimate to time my visit to the DMV and it worked perfectly.

Admittedly, it may just be that I'm not creative enough to envision sustainable, valuable use cases for this. But if you've been around 6 (?) years and just took $51M in Series C without being significantly diluted, KP is presumably assigning you at least a $250M valuation and possibly a lot higher. After accounting for terms like e.g. liquidation preference, the economic picture of Density could easily be a house of cards.

> I'm not saying solidarity is bad. I'm saying it's a tool that police unions have weaponized against the general public.

I think that reducing the problems of policing in the US down to "solidarity" isn't apt, as solidarity in other unions doesn't produce this level of opaqueness, lack of honesty and responsibility, negligence, ineptitude, or criminality.

The issue is at play is culture, one that comes from the top and is reinforced every step of the way to the bottom.

I agree that police unions have a strong hand in enabling and enacting the policies that shield police from accountability, but police are given powers that are unique to any other government or otherwise union worker. Allowing easily abused power to consolidate to the point that it has is why I'm against police unions in particular, but not others.

I don't think we do anything that would increase latency for API clients specifically.

But if your API is not implemented on the edge (e.g. in a Worker), and the responses are not cacheable at the edge, and you aren't using Argo, then there's not much else Cloudflare can do to make the request faster. Cloudflare is just proxying requests at that point, and the presence of a proxy will indeed probably add a few milliseconds of latency vs. the client talking directly to the origin. (Of course, you do get other benefits like DDoS protection.)
That's because it's really hard to predict right now what will happen, even for most experts.

Both inflation and deflation are equally probable outcomes, if you look at it from a broad perspective and with limited data. If demand goes down, that's deflationary. If supply goes down, that's inflationary. Money printing is always inflationary, but so far, the US has been able to "print" without the money actually ending up causing inflation in consumer prices. It's also unclear whether this is going to change after the COVID crisis is over.

Where we already see massive inflation is in the stock market and in asset prices. So a "currency panic about deflation" is also a really narrow way to look at it.

Sorry if I managed to confuse you even more.
No, they've been denied: I elaborate on this in the talk, but if you look at (say) an OCP-based system (e.g., Facebook's Tioga Pass[1]), the innovations in that system are simply not available for any price to the enterprise buyer.

> > illnesses are less severe

I agree it's false. One reason people think it's true is that very much more testing is happening, so we're seeing people with milder symptoms getting tested positive. Before they just wouldn't have been tested.
Deflation is a risk. Meaningful deflation is so terrible that it will not be allowed. Hence inflation is more likely in my view.
