Ground is ... all the metal bits in the bathroom and there's earth leakage happening somewhere.

The safe work procedure is then: get the shower to the desired pressure and temperature before you get in / while you're still wearing your shoes then try not to touch the taps while you're in there.

But don't tell the guests cos hearing them yell "FUUUUCK!" is amusing.

Bonus points if they pass out from the shock and knock their head on the way down.

I’d love to see a chess variant where you could move pieces upside down to the bottom side of the board and make moves and pop back up onto the surface at strategic points. Lurker chess.
Yup, Kakoune was it.

> Vitamin D deficiency causes a 10 times higher death rate in Covid-19 patients according to recent studies.

This is a hugely overstated conclusion - and none of the studies presented are able to make causal claims to back this up. This is a load of malarkey.
Here is an excellent study with both theoretical and empirical results showing the efficacy and importance of universal mask wearing, even when cotton masks are used (PDF download is in the upper right corner): https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.13553

Institutions involved: University of Cambridge, University College London, Ecole de Guerre Economique, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

As for Michael Osterholm, I don't have much patience for people like him so I won't cite this but you can easily look it up: he clarified his comments and said that people should universally wear masks. Of course, he followed up with strawman arguments, implying that many people have the illusion that COVID would be suddenly be "driven to the ground" if everyone wore masks. He also said that other measures are important. Of course they are.

As for Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine: simply put, they are like a hammer in search of a massive double blind nail. When it becomes more and more clear how tragically incorrect and misguided such organizations are during a pandemic, the "evidence" in their title will suddenly have a sardonic ring to it. Their example will demonstrate that sometimes expertise of a certain kind, if not properly adapted to a new situation, can become an impairment in the new context. Read the discussion at the following link: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo...

That being said, the University of Oxford in general is a top rate institution. The Oxford Vaccine Group might be first to deliver a COVID-19 vaccine. They're also home to professor and NIH senior investigator Dr. Trisha Greenhalgh, who sharply discussed the limitations of evidence-based medicine during this pandemic at the above link :) Of course, that's evidence-based medicine as a specific category, not the general idea of medicine backed by proof.

> Within a span of four years, Reliance pumped in over $33 billion from its other businesses to expand Jio’s market.

> Jio was able to achieve these cheap rates by acquiring the only firm that won a pan-India 4G license, leveraging the superiority and cost-efficiency of 4G compared to older cellular standards, and because of the unparalleled size and resources of its parent company. [emphasis mine]

> A sizable portion of the investments will go toward paying off the existing debts accumulated by Reliance to fund this extravagant project and its other businesses,

Reading between the lines in this article, it sounds like Reliance is simply buying market share by running Jio at a big loss, and temporarily making up the difference with huge investment rounds. I feel like we've seen this show a lot lately and it doesn't always work out.

As a high school student, that's actually doing quantum information physics research, I thought that I could add a unique perspective on this!

Personally, I love the sentiment behind this. It's great that there are people who are trying to make such an exciting field accessible. That being said, the importance of learning high level math cannot be understated. If students want to pursue anything impactful in physics, they require an extensive background in mathematics. If they try to learn about the current research of the field, the math in the papers will be extremely intimidating (I say this from experience!).

I think a more valuable thing to do would to make it easier to learn high level math (topology, abstract algebra) as math serves as the basis for physics. On that note, that seems like it would be an exciting project for me to embark on, with my perspective!
Thank you. I thought it must be a lot more expensive. I just bought one (Resqlink 425, instead of the 400 your linked above)
it depends on what you value. most high volume businesses aren’t optimizing for developer happiness..they don’t want a business expense like payment processing taking 3% of every sale.
All true and good points.

I last used PHP a decade or so ago, and heavily relied on CodeIgniter framework. They had a good, tight feature set, and a fantastic community.

The fact it's now mostly gone kind of speaks to your point, though it may just be that PHP's marketshare overall has dropped so much that there really isn't sufficient energy to keep more than a couple of frameworks alive.

A community for New Americans!
Hello all,

As new citizens ourselves and reflecting on all the challenges coming to the US especially under the current uncertainty, we are building a community for international students and professionals to connect and lift each other .

Our first step was to put together an Essential Guide for New Americans to help anyone that's about to embark on their life in America.

-> View Immigrants.FYI guide: https://bit.ly/3kcNOKz
-> Join our Slack group: https://bit.ly/30voSGe

We are sending out beta invites to people in the network who are foreign-born or first-generation immigrants. It’s a fresh new attempt, so would really appreciate your DM, share, and feedback!

With our collective effort, we hope to help immigrant talents in America will be seen, heard, and understood. It's about time.

Yours truly,

Team Immigrants.FYI
Republicans Aid Kanye West’s Bid to Get on the 2020 Ballot
The above is a good example of how results can be "wrong" in theory papers, but I work in an experimental field of research and at least in my world, having a paper present results that turn out to be wrong isn't really all that surprising. Experimental papers aren't proof of phenomena as much as they're an attempt to persuade you of the authors' worldview, which may or may not turn out to be correct in hindsight. This isn't grounds for retraction — there are plenty of well-intentioned and reasonably-interpreted experiments that end up not holding up as the field moves forward.

Again, not saying that papers can't have problems with methodology, assumptions, or — particularly in the case of theory — soundness, but sometimes, "good" papers can be wrong. These papers sit in the body of literature, and are important context for modern findings. I do wonder if there could be some way to indicate to readers without domain-specific expertise that such a paper has been superseded, so to speak.
Actually those features WeChat wants people to use as new users are pretty intuitive and straightforward. For other functionalities, those are intentionally 'hidden'. Those advanced or experiment features are for those who look for those features or just spreading by friends.

On the contrary, the other big player in China is Alipay, it's pretty much trying to put everything on the first page like Kowloon Walled City - noisy, messy. It just punches everything in your face.

Interestingly, they both serve their purpose, but following different design philosophies. WeChat wants to be a good product, while the Alipay wants to be a portal for every new service around you from Alibaba.

PS: To have an initial impression on how Alipay is not only a payment app, it literally trying to directly covers everything around you, for example:

* Buy everything, or course.

* Pay for electric, gas, and water.

* Riding bikes, bus and metro. Parking, re-fuel, pay your fines.

* Loan, pay credit cards, stocks, insurance, lottery and donations. Or give your child or your spouse some pocket money on monthly basis.

* Also the 'social credit' system you might have heard of.

I'm sorry but I still don't get how any of this implies NAT table exhaustion. A few hundred entries is literally 3 orders of magnitude away from a few hundred thousand entries. I don't see the problem.
I think it's because of C++ in large part. For whatever reason there's been weird conventions in different code bases on how to structure headers vs source (like, put them in the same dir, or have an "includes" and "src" dir that mirror each other, or have an includes dir that doesnt match the src dir at all. Not defending it because it sucks, but I think .NET just inherited that weird interface because its what C++ did.
This is fine. It's practical, but a little ugly. Same discussion that we had the other day with Tailwind CSS. It's fine, it's very practical, but a little ugly.

> The seeming disconnect between what's on disk, where on disk it is, and where and how it's displayed in the UI is cavernous. It also outright ignore things that are present in the folder unless you explicitly add it through the interface. God forbid you drop a file in, add it through the UI then move it because you discover you've dropped it into the wrong one of the 3 million nested folders large dotnet projects seem to generate.

This is no longer the case for "new style" VS project files (used by default on .Net Core projects). It works sanely now.

Yep, totally. I am fine with concentrating my risk on a big company with a huge target on its back (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon) but with enough money (and enough profit to protect) that they can correspondingly afford to compete effectively in the security arms race.

There are economies of scale to security just like with anything else.

Justice is such a poor way to describe what is happening here. I have full empathy with those who have struggled with opioid addiction or lost loved ones to the disease. But the fact is that opioid prescriptions are still being written with too little oversight, too few safeguards, and not enough support for patients. Withstanding such contradiction in treatment of opioid suppliers, the federal government cannot keep treating opioid abuse on the supply side. We need solutions that focus on patient health and wellness. An opioid on its own does not result in overdoses or abuse, and even moderate use can be balanced with a healthy lifestyle. The DOJ does not have the tools, skills, or experience necessary to address the public health crisis that is opioid abuse.

Oh god no, this draft is actually pretty good, don't ruin it by infecting it with context. Context is the worst library in Go: it's a pile of hacks to get cancellation and goroutine-local storage by manually passing new heap-allocated objects through every function interface in every library between low-level IO up to task management. It infects everything, obliterating separation of concerns making even libraries that should have nothing at all do do with timeouts include code for it. And it includes an untyped key-value store implemented as a linked-list of pairs (!!!!), because why not?

If you can't tell, I don't like context. I've said before [0] I really hope that Go 2 comes up with an actual solution to the cancellation and task-local storage problems and deprecates context. Some comments in that thread pointed to alternatives that looked pretty decent, I wonder what state they're in these days.

> Blacks in America are poorer, suffer higher rates of unemployment, lower educational attainment and are forced to live in higher crime areas as the result of decades of racist housing policies and centuries of oppression.

How do they fare in other countries, with different histories?

Edit: Expanded the question to make it clearer.
Thorium reactors would have taken much less than that level of funding with (IMO) less engineering hurdles, and they made a functioning prototype that almost fit in a closet at General Atomics.

This is all boondoggle money now with solar/wind/battery though. Maybe once we actually move a majority of the grid we can move back to major nuclear or fusion research.
"I think of it in apples-to-apples comparison"

That's a restriction in your mind that has nothing to do with the topic.

"Moreover, many Wordpress sites are run on anemic shared hosting."

The same hosting that would be perfectly fine for a static site.
many insurance companies have minimum premiums around $100-140 per year for renters depending on their OIE. renter is usually fairly simplistic in terms of its segmentation. a persons insurance score is small part of that, coverage limits like liability and contents coverage will drive cost but also geography will price perils like theft and weather perils (the later should be light since renters is really just contents and liability). so you’d expect geography for renters to be somewhat of a larger influence. it’s unlikely any insurance carrier is specifically pricing to penalize for the color of your skin. it is probable though that there are some correlation with something else they are pricing for.
I don't understand the question.

The OP was edited in response to this, but I'm still mystified. I'm not making a particular claim about anything other than the experience of Black people in America, so I don't see how the question is relevant.

How to setup bearer token auth with sailsjs
I'm not web IT but games started my IT career, though perhaps differently to how people would expect.

Dad got a computer when I was 8. I played games.

At uni, while studying other things, I played games and had no money.

In those days having a LAN party and getting people on the same game, same version, same mods, different OSs, different specc'ed machines etc was an effort!

Eventually ended up Application Packaging to earn a living. And I've moved on from there.
The DOJ has a hammer. They’re using that hammer in the only way they can (supply side). If you want the demand side fixed, fix it locally (and lobby the federal government for more funds if necessary). The St Petersburg police department (Florida) recently announced they’d hire 25 social workers instead of 25 police officers to address social needs that would’ve previously been handled suboptimally as a police dispatch. There is evidence local efforts can be made when the appetite and will is present.

Having seen opioid addiction up close, I have a hard time not condoning DOJ actions. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.
Those are essentially wider 27" 4k monitors. If the OP wants a true retina screen which is perfectly suitable for 2:1 scaling those are not a better option.
The good old "conventions" vs "configuration" debate. Seems like Javascript looks more and more like Java with all these manifests.

I'm a grown professional, and this is still the way I learn. I think this is just the way some brains work.

My office and hard drives are filled with half finished projects, and I've probably forgotten how half of them work. I'll reinforce my learning when I pick it back up.

I only recently realized the joy of allowing myself to switch books when I feel like it. I've always loved reading, but sometimes I can't sit through the whole thing without something else catching my eye.

My environment as a kid allowed me to work that way and I will be forever grateful for that. It is the reason I now love what I do for a living. If your child's brain works this way, I feel that allowing this type of learning is the best thing you can do for them.
Yeah, this pretty much echoes my experience working with type-safe languages.

In the case of my anecdote here, I'm mostly talking about typescript, but I've worked with a bunch of other ones in a non-web context.

Every single time, without fail, when I get a "snag" from the type-system, it's complaining about something real. Sometimes it's a trifling bug, like a typo, but ... even there it's usually pretty nice to have the type system immediately jump on it and report it, without me having to deploy the thing and run it and only then find out that something is wrong.

But the other class of bugs - that's where it's solid gold. It'll often catch really sneaky bugs, bugs related to "nullability", where some object I'm blindly using isn't guaranteed to stay allocated during the use case I expect it to be useable in, and holy smokes are those a lifesaver. Having had to deal with those bugs from the opposite direction, they're an unleaded nightmare to try to fix without the type system pinning down exactly the culprit that would be causing it. Every time I see one, I immediately think "wow, this would have been a 5-10 hour nightmare if I had to fix this because of some production bug". I've been in the office till 10pm, and ... I never want to do that again if I can avoid it.
Apart from the Planar that has QC issues there is nothing else. The PC / monitor industry has decided that 4K should be enough for every desktop pc user. Don’t forget that until the arrival of DP1.4 you couldn’t even feed a 5k display with enough data using one cable.
Plus the fact that Dell and HP discontinued their 5k offerings shows that the demand was likely low (which is to be expected given their price and their incompatibility with laptops).

There is an 8k currently sold by Dell, but it is out of most people’s budget (>$3.5k)

Your first point may be true, but it completely ignores the reality of a vast number of WordPress sites that don't use a plugin to generate a separate, static, site.
