No, herd immunity requires >90, if not >95℅. and that assumes that herd immunity is even possible - there are plenty of indications that the covid-19 cured don't have long-term immunity. That leaves only either eradication, which the US, Brazil and Russia ruined for all of us, or that it ends as part of the annual flu family.
Another example is Angular.js It used Javascript's toString() method to get the names of the arguments and then did dependency injection magic based on it.

Does anyone know if that is still the case for recent versions of Angular?
Why has no one actually provided evidence of a single backdoor in the replies? The top reply is currently some anecdote that while interesting does not answer the question at all.

Surely we can be less shitty about answering the OP’s question. As a start, it sounds like at some point there were unsecured Telnet servers in some Huawei devices: https://www.theregister.com/2019/04/30/huawei_enterprise_rou...
It’s not entirely satisfying evidence because the Register believes it was legitimately for diagnostics. They also point out that there were comparable “backdoors” in Cisco equipment: https://www.theregister.com/2019/05/02/cisco_vulnerabilities...

If anyone replies with an example of an actual unambiguous Huawei backdoor for which there isn’t a corresponding Cisco “backdoor” I’ll be happy to buy them a coffee. But why are so many of the replies to the parent comment just pure noise?

Yes. That's their free limit. If you pay $5/mo you get 50MB and $10/month gets you 100MB uploads. All of which seem like low limits to me, shrug.
It's a little more complex than that. The herd immunity threshold estimates have assumed that everyone is equally susceptible. However the reality appears to be that some people have at least partial immunity, perhaps based on genetics or prior exposure to similar viruses. This is an active area of research, and for now the level and extent of population immunity remains an unknown variable.

The best estimate from the CDC indicates an IFR of 0.65% in the US. That's a major difference from 1%.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...

A recent sero-prevalance study in Mumbai found that 57% of people in the slums had antibodies, which would put those areas close to the theoretical herd immunity threshold. Despite limited access to advanced healthcare there the IFR was under 0.10%, although it's possible that some deaths weren't accurately recorded.

It's much less clear in this case. What about displaying the title of the website, is that ok? Just about everyone would say yes. What about the first few sentences of the page? Ok, I think we are good here, probably ok. What about an intelligent snippet of the website that highlights your search terms? Well, ok we are starting to get a bit gray, because now for some searches we don't need to go to the website anymore. But is it wrong or illegal? Well what about formatting that in a nice way that prominently displays the answer to your query? Well now we have an issue, but how big of a leap was it to get there? But is it wrong because they targeted the website and built parsers specifically for it, or because it is done at all? I don't know. But I think it was a slippery slope that got them there.
I work on aircraft that up until last year received updates via ZIP DISK. Do you know how hard it is to find a working ZIP disk and/or ZIP drive?

Luckily we convinced the owner to update their avionics and now it uses... CDs? DVDs? A laptop? I honestly don't know. Something that isn't ZIP disks. We also have aircraft that need floppy disks.

>If you are selling puppy photo software for $10/month it is a different situation to 200k enterprise deals.

Coming from the latter. We build custom turn-key ML products for enterprise. Usually, meetings are with legal, security, strategy, and CEO/COO/CIO/CFO. We constantly push to get end users and subject matter experts to the table, for they are who we are building for. Lawyers to fine tune the contracts, clauses for support, exclusivity periods, geographic locations, and defining competitors. Non disclosure agreements, etc.

Repeat clients are frequent, which simplifies things as we already had gone through the process, had clearances, and built trust, relations, and a reputation.

Deal size in the ball park on average, but we're building tooling that considerably reduces the time a project takes us.

Prior to the pandemic I went to the gym 3-4 days/week, alternating between HIIT on a bike and an endurance workout on an elliptical. I knew I would need to find an alternative since gyms were no longer safe, but due to space restrictions knew I couldn't get the same equipment I use at the gym.

I set up alerts on OfferUp and Craigslist for a Nordictrack ski machine. Got one back in April for $100 and have used it 6-7 days a week since. It fits in a relatively small space, doesn't require power, and is 100% user serviceable. I have it along the wall in the garage, and can fold it up if need be. I only do my "long" workout on it, but am planning to try my first HIIT workout on it tonight!

I also have started doing the kettlebell routine from the book "Simple & Sinister" using a 16 kg kettlebell I bought ages ago and never used. The /r/kettlebell community is very, very helpful. I was, to be brutally honest, intimidated to start this; I was sure that I would somehow do the exercises wrong and wind up hurting myself. However, nothing bad's happened and I do feel better/stronger.

Finally, I've done more reading on health/longevity (most recently the book Lifespan by Sinclair) and have modified my eating habits a bit.

The pandemic sucks, but being forced to come to grips with months of my life being heavily restricted served as motivation to live healthier so I can make more use of the time that's left once (a) a vaccine come around or (b) I figure out how to immigrate to New Zealand and live a normal life :-)
I have a horror story with 700VA APC ES-B700G, I bought it for my NAS in case I would be updating its operating system not to have it turned off by random power loss.

I had issues with power supply to my apartment once in 2 years or something like that.

This model has "controlled by master" outlets which I did not use because I needed only backup lines connected to battery. That "controlled by master" thing would turn on once in 3 months without reason.

Then one day there was no power loss and UPS flipped and turned off power to my NAS and to my devices. Battery was good power was there but switches flipped and my NAS was turned off without warning. There was no system updates, maybe just normal writes to the disk.

Turned out my HDD WD-RED 1TB died because of that one flip. It would have been better for me not to have a UPS...

I found that the moral ambiguity only ratcheted up over time. In 3rd grade it was peaceful pilgrims co-existing with the natives. In 9th grade it was the trail of tears and Vietnam. In college it was "the sons of liberty were terrorists and the noble savage trope is a myth".
What you call "dynamic checking your types" is actually the same as having an algebraic uni type and inspecting its construction.

A type system is a means to prove the absence of certain errors in a program.

Think of a type system as a park pilot that sounds an alarm before you hit an obstacle. What python does is the crashing sound when you hit the obstacle. Forth is finding the dent days later and wondering where the eff that came from. Python is more conclusive then Forth, but you still have a dent.
FYI, the term for this is leapfrogging -- essentially the lack of infrastructure allows developing countries to suddenly advance past established countries in terms of policy/tech integration & utilization. In other words, no tech debt to pay off first :-)

They don't lower the internal temperature of the freezer. The frost generally forms first on the evaporator unit and that is the part that is heated periodically to remove the ice buildup. It's possible for ice to build up elsewhere in the freezer but the air is circulated and the remaining ice generally sublimates away. This wouldn't cause your food or a bag of ice to melt, but it will cause your ice cubes to shrink over time and will freezer burn your frozen food.
Same with me, in the UK we have a scheme where you can buy a bike tax-free which I availed of in December, having not cycled in years.

Since lockdown I've been cycling 40 km almost every day, and I managed to do a 120 km ride the other week.

To be honest it's one of the main reasons I'm quite happy WFH, soon as the clock hits 16:00 I'm out the door on my bike.

Unless that issue that doesn't affect these conservatives at all has something to do with what a woman can do with her body, or having a different skin tone, or worshiping a different god, that is. Rules for thee but not for me is practically a tenet of conservatism.
It's not that long ago. I live near by what used to be one of the dirtiest waterways in the the US. Even as recently as the mid-90s, sewage was dumped directly into the waterway and numerous landfills seeped toxic chemicals such as lead and various hydro-carbons into it. The river used to be so toxic that no life beyond worms could inhabit it.

The cleanup for it started in 2006 and is ongoing today. It's only within the past decade that fish finally started swimming in the river. And now the neighborhoods that it runs through are seeing huge increases in property values and new development as this former toxic waste dump is now converted into water-front bike trails and parks.

We absolutely still see the benefits of the Clean Water Act today.

There's probably a few very widely depended-on libraries in google3 (internal monorepo) that have been in 'maintenance mode' for 10y or more.

And pretty major pieces that get replaced with nothing breaking noticeably.

A better analogy would be like swapping the engines for electric drive props mid-flight, while other team is replacing most of the wings, but keeping the control surfaces in place.

Now, the cargo service would've been killed, and you'd have 3 mostly equivalent screens to choose from to watch movies during your flight.

Plus, just because some policy works for some country (for some specific time period) it doesn't mean it will work for another. There are way too many differences in factors that affect virus propagation for the same policy to be effective in most other places, healthcare being, like you mentioned, just one of them.
You are entirely correct in what you say, and if this was just a virus that most people get sick then recover from, then I'd agree with the point you are making. But there are reports of lingering after-affects that suggest that many people may take years, if ever, to recover from Covid-19:

You wouldn't known how many cases came from a protest unless you test everyone or a truly representative sample a while after. In any case you wouldn't know until at least two weeks later, and then only with significant effort asking everyone whether they attended a specific protest (assuming they answer truthfully) and/or tracking people.

Also, the ball has been in Typescript's court for a while to provide a fast, easy to use typecheck-only API that receives an AST and can be used by other tools that already have parsers.

Does this piece of code have UB? Could it invoke UB depending on the input to the program?

void count(int x)
{
for (int i = 0; i < x; ++i)
printf("%d ", i);
}

The answer to the latter question is of course "yes" - signed integer overflow is UB, so you invoke UB by passing a negative x.

Would you like every loop to be flagged as potential UB? I don't think you'd last a single day programming in that C dialect.
Zelle is not supported by every bank. A major exception is Charles Schwab.
Modern Python lets you explicitly opt out of this by putting “/“ in your argument list iirc correctly:

def only_positional(a, b, /):
Pass

Similarly, you can prevent keyword args from being called as positional (which has the inverse problem of breaking client code by changing the order of keyword arguments):

def only_keyword(*, foo, bar):
pass
It depends. We built and deployed some IoT devices (controlling and reporting status of lights, HVAC systems, that sort of thing) to a bunch of greenhouses--one of which ran on generator power.

The customer was running the generators right at the maximum capacity, and we'd see really, really odd things on the power lines. Some times a surge like you mention, sometimes changes to the frequency, sometimes changes to the voltage. We discovered all sorts of weird brownout conditions in our devices.
Over the years I have lost a lot of confidence in UPS units which do not use double conversion topology.

I have a fairly expensive line-interactive unit that can be tricked into doing bad things just by power cycling my laser printer which is plugged into the same circuit (but not the actual UPS). One day this caused me more trouble than it was worth WRT lost work. I would have been better off plugged directly into the grid and just taking the 100 millisecond voltage dip at the PC's power supply. This is one area where buying high quality PSU can go a long way. High wattage Seasonic units can ride through some pretty nasty conditions before needing any outside help.

I also have a cheaper passive-standby modified-sinewave unit which has never misbehaved in terms of trigger conditions, but it is hot, noisy and otherwise does not inspire any confidence when it's running on its inverter. I would also never dream of plugging anything into this unit that uses a non-switching power supply.

Again, I am faced with the reality that you get precisely what you pay for. I always assumed double conversion was expensive paranoia never for home use, but over time this has proven out just like everything else when looking at the value equation of technology.

A risk that has a 1% chance of wiping out 100% of your company, vs a risk that a 10% of chance of costing you 10% of your company, are not the same even though the net "expected value" is nominally 1% for both.

But the contributions are radically different as the current remains reveal. Worldwide English is the language of commerce and throughout the remains of the former British Empire English for traders continues to be extremely common and global in scope and impact. In almost every city colonized by the British there remain enduring street grids with broad rights of way and predictable block sizes that are in many cases still the most lively and economically active areas.

In contrast modern Baltic people speak English for international commerce and Russians when they need to talk to their neighbors. Also most of the construction the Russians were responsible for were military or industrial installations that have mostly been replaced or fallen out of use.

It is these artifacts of colonial force that remain that bring into question the idea that the whole business had zero positive impact.
I think that speaks to your ability to adapt, which is great! My wife found herself in a similar boat: prior to COVID, she did abbreviated workouts every day after work; since COVID, she's arranged her schedule to get her ideal workouts every morning plus yoga and some extra runs with me. I've finally reached a same place, doing 5-6 days a week instead of 3-4, but it was almost entirely because she harangued me. Finding a fitness routine was never natural for me and I feel for all the people who got thrown off their game and still haven't recovered.
Yes. Usually it is a FAT/FAT32/NTFS formatting issue.

>It's a very grey area here

It's not a grey area. The default position is not regulation and government permission. If it's not illegal, it's not illegal. If I'm starting a business, and that business does not violate existing regulations, why do I need to wait for government permission?
I have similar memories from around the time when USB sticks started gaining popularity. I think floppy disk manufacturers started slacking off on QA through the last few years of large-scale manufacturing. They certainly didn't used to be that bad.
As in no fitness habits? Before the pandemic I was swimming 2km 3 times a week and lifting weights 3 times a week. Since the pandemic I haven’t done anything. I neither have access to a pool or weights. I could switch to body weight exercises or walking (I hate jogging/running), but I haven’t and probably won’t.

We aim to release something around 'room presence' this week. Eventually we will get to a feeling of answering which room is hot or not based on movement, laughter, etc.

Room discovery is definitely in the works. We thought about a public bar platform at one point. IE imagine going to a Japanese bar with your friends online and hanging out with them. It feels like an interesting consumer use case.

Minimum time is not something we thought of. That is interesting. Definitely some food for thought.

I want to agree with you, but: a company whose employees' lives must be subsidized by the taxpayer (because they aren't earning enough to live on from full-time wages) is a net economic negative to society. If you have a lot of such companies or such jobs then you will have a societal insolvency, won't you? And what purpose do such companies serve, privatizing gains while socializing burdens?
