This is a nice sounding story but I don’t think it’s true.

There were already publications from China in early February stressing that tracing the virus via symptomatic cases alone would not be enough to stop the spread. Here’s one from Feb 11. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.07.20021154v...

China suppressed the virus not by IR scanning but by a well publicized system of travel restrictions and contact isolation/quarantine of anyone who had been in contact with a known case, regardless of whether they had a fever or other symptoms.

All this was public knowledge in February and can be verified by reviewing preprints and news articles from then.

I read that article all the way to the end, which was quite a slog. (You can definitely tell this guy is in the business of stretching out content to fit in more ad breaks) The conclusion at the end appears to be "NASA didn't see Starship coming at all, and built a very conservative, very expensive expendable launch system, that underperforms Starship on every metric". There is a logical next step, after you come to that conclusion...

It is, of course, very reasonable to wait for Starship to actually launch and demonstrate a couple flights. But I would be very very surprised if SLS still exists in two years.
> Receiving a UBI and using the income to take care of your aging parents makes you a giver, not a leech.

No that's not true at all. So what if you're not the only one benefitting from your UBI payments; they're still coming from someone else's effort, not your own. To be a "giver" you first must earn the things you're giving away. Your attitude is unhealthy and shows how selfish and narcissistic you are.

Your summary of the context is broader than that of the article. The context of the article is "cops interacting with your cellular radio" in order to capture IMSIs and perform other interactions, using Stingrays and Dirtboxes.

Not carrying devices with radios is sufficient to prevent you from being tracked by them. I concede that if you carry a radio-less device and hardwire it to a network, then as in Battlestar Galactica, you have now removed some of the safety that the absence of a radio provided.

>Oddly, Microsoft has 32 bit x86 apps running on ARM, but 64 bit x86 apps are broken.

It has been argued on HN that the reason was x86_64 patents that will very soon expire. Once that happens, Windows-on-ARM is very likely to have x86_64 emulation as well. Besdies, 99% of Windows software is available as 32bit.

The software sectors that don't will either never port old stuff (games) or will port anyway for Mac and have an easy Windows port as a result (e.g. Adobe).

>This is why Apple can afford to go all-in on ARM while Microsoft has to tap-dance back and forth between the two platforms.

Microsoft is mostly a software company, rather than an hardware one. It doesn't matter to them on what processor type you run so long as it's their software. I suspect the biggest reason for focusing on ARM isn't Mac, it's Azure.
> If it isn’t radiating in one inertial frame, it isn’t radiating in any inertial frame.

Maybe this is the answer to a question I've been harboring in the back of my head since high school: if moving charges radiate, they should lose energy, and thus eventually disappear. Almost nothing ever is stationary, so how come all the charges haven't radiated away?

A quick googling now (I don't know why I never bothered to do that before) pointed me to https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/65339/how-and-wh..., which would suggest that it's not movement but acceleration that makes charges radiate. But again, almost nothing ever is stationary, nor is it ever in truly uniform motion, so how come all the charges haven't radiated away?

I'm a self-taught junior software developer looking for a stimulating new role. I love writing software that has a positive impact on people, especially if it means that the target audience is relieved of a boring and burdensome low-energy task. I'm interested in web and desktop development, but I would be open to another SDET role if the circumstances were right.

I have about 3 years of experience writing software, mostly in the .NET ecosystem, but I love using Python. I'm currently learning about TypeScript and I'm still interested in Golang.
Imagine a place in which open carry weapons were mandatory, though, on the chance you’re able to help someone who is attacked.

Many would be angry about the overinclusive rule. It would be more about the message to others about safety than actual safety. “Let them help themselves, if they’re so risk averse,“ you might say.

In at least some places, “masks all the time” isn’t entirely about function. Do masks really work better in casinos and schools, but not churches and funerals? Or, as in Maryland this week, do they work differently in public schools and private schools?

People sense that the mask in some situations is partly about a certain kind of authority and conformity — and they don’t like to conform with their face and body.

Easy, just use an ImageNet classifier architecture with one category for each decade. No need to bother with object detection at all.

You could fine-tune or train from scratch. Image classification is probably the single most-researched task with the widest variety of models available. You could select an architecture based on ease of implementation, efficiency, absolute accuracy, or any combination. Papers With Code has great lists of state-of-the-art models.

According to the source you cite (worldometers), the per-capita death toll for Belgium is 849 per 1M. That's the second-highest in the entire world, after San Marino (1,238).

By contrast, according to the same site you linked[0], the per-capita death toll for New York is 1,686 per 1M. That's twice as high as Belgium, and higher even than San Marino.

Hawking radiation is not blackbody radiation. It is caused by pair production, where pairs of particles are produced at random by quantum fluctuations near the event horizon. One of the pair of particles falls into the black hole and the other escapes as Hawking radiation.
UVC lamps are relatively inexpensive to install. Usually they're put before and/or after the cooling coil where, if you have a clean coil, the light will bounce through the fins and increase the path length of exposure. If it's not clean, the UVC helps to break down anything organic over time and cleans them up.

With a few exceptions of more complex units all of the recirculated air spends time passing through the coil.

UVC doesn't damage metal parts, but does effect some materials that would be common in residential installations

I think this is probably less relevant today - after a certain size the "moat" for an observability company starts to be their existing customer base. If NR works with everything and everything works with NR it's much harder to make a case that you should continue adding alternatives to your observability stack.

How would this work on 2 or 3 monitors. Asking this, since any serious content creator tool end up using windows across monitors, and there you need good docking support.

The other two pain points (for DCC):

- Hi-DPI support (and again across monitors)

In the city where I live there is a bylaw where you have to register your alarm system with the police, and must display a mandatory label in the window with a serial number visible at all time. I guess a thief could rely on that during their recon.
I'm almost sickened pointing this out, but legally speaking, a large part of the 6+ months would be the responsibility of the tenant they sued. It could get ugly for the small business owner.
I don't think that's a good analogy. But my comment reads way harsher than I intended it. I've probably done it myself in the past – sticking a handful of key countries at the top of the selector. My point is it isn't good design, it's a lazy hack. And I think if I was a user from one of the 2nd tier countries, I'd find it pretty elitist. The ticket machine analogy doesn't apply.
Well, where I live which is about as blue as it gets in the US, people are being good at wearing masks inside based on what I've seen--essentially universal. And they may have masks for walking around in close contact outside but they're not required or generally worn when people are, for example, sitting down and eating outside or walking separated by some distance.

My understanding is that is pretty much the situation even for places where that are relatively enforcing masking in the US.
These interface panels would look better with the careful addition of subtle raised features and indentations to accentuate the screen printing.
Sure, go ahead and point that out, loudly and often. It needs to be pointed out. (And, if and when other presidents do the same, point it out loudly then, too.)

But "suggesting" is different from "doing" or "ordering". Trump is wishful thinking out loud. True, he's wishing for things beyond his power and authority. But until he actually tries to make it happen instead of just blowing hot air, I'm content to just shake my head. I see no need to be alarmed... yet.

I am curious why you're transitioning off from Datadog?

Well yes, if people can't pay their rent, then that's tearing up a contract as well. Contracts aren't going to hold either way. Giving pensions a haircut is just a more equitable way to rebalance.
It is. Although some people seem to feel strongly that's not enough.
So, pre-covid, when I used headphones more, I used the jack a lot because I'm just awful at keeping devices charged.

I also have saved many a social music situation when someone was having bluetooth pairing issues and I just busted out my aux cable, plugged and and blammo the party has music. I'm an IT guy, could I have fixed the bluetooth pairing? Probably. But not quicker than just plugging in.

If we ignored COVID, but spent 2020 replacing all coal and oil fueled cars, trucks and powerplants, we would save 10x as many lives as would have been lost to COVID this decade, and make significant progress on climate change. A shameful missed opportunity.

Wow! If there was a way to contact anyone at Northvolt and have a very quick conversation about if/where I'd fit, I'd greatly appreciate it. There were 11 positions that I was strongly interested in, of which about 6 I think I would be somewhat more comfortable qualifying for. I went ahead and applied via the "Open Application" already, but it would be great to have a conversation with someone about where I might fit best, if at all.

Local pricing on google store is A$599, despite US$349 ~= A$490.

So not quite the same bargain for us, though not hugely surprising.

> ... it’s worth remembering that technically, fall ends on December 21st this year.

Living in a country with only a dozen or so native (only only mildly) deciduous trees, but a surfeit of eucalyptus that drop dangerously large branches, leaves, and bark all year long -- we don't call autumn fall, just autumn. And it runs 1st March to 31st May. Which adds some mental gymnastics on top of the corporate hermeneutics when dealing with these announcements.

> Does anyone have an example of a large codebase that actually uses modern C++ to its fullest?

The point of a language is not to use all the bells and whistles just for the sake of playing language feature bingo. The point of a language is to offer developers the tools they need to use to achieve their goals. Some C++ standards offer stuff that are must-haves, nice-to-haves, and meh. Just because you want to use std::make_unique that doesn't mean you should rewrite your code to get all your lambdas to do return type deduction.
