The CDC estimates total deaths from influenza in 2019 was 34,200.[0]

173,000 people have died in the USA this year from Covid 19 and the toll is rising.[1] that’s more than the total number of cases (22,000) in Australia. We got 10% the population of the USA and 0.2% of the deaths.

With all due respect, the USA has the worst Covid 19 rates in the entire fucking world. It is a travesty. You guys can say what you like, but your plan is literally killing people.

And specifically to your point: Do you think kids teach themselves? Kids are part of families, kids are taught by adults, kids catch busses driven by adults, kids meals are cooked by adults. The death rate of kids is irrelevant. Since kids can still spread the disease, they should be isolated like everyone else.

Yeah but if I can trust them in 10 seconds with very little effort on my part, I can be much more nimble with my strategy. If i can quickly verify the validity and source of primary data, I can make decisions on that data without hesitation. The value is in automating the trust, having a tiny little notary saying yes this is true, go ahead and make evidenced based decisions. Now of course we could do this with other tech, but I find the standardization of this trust mechanism to be the substructure of new business building tools and services around this quick trust, much faster than they can build them around trust accumulated by institutions, governments, notable individuals.

Yes. Because WebAssembly provides a higher level of abstraction (safety, isolation, portability, manageability etc — you know, the “enterprise” stuff) over native code. See here: https://www.secondstate.io/articles/why-webassembly-server/

Off-topic but IMHO what is really needed these days is a privacy feature allowing all the UIDs to be changed freely by the user (without the need for rooting and firmware thinkering).

Including randomized IMEIs and randomized Android ID (In addition to the already offered randomized MAC and Ad tracking ID changes).
Especially IMEIs which are commonly used by many applications and law enforcement to track users (see Banking apps for instance that all require your phone permissions to read such IDs).

Nor Librem nor Pinephone offer this functionality from what I know.

And no, it's not (yet) illegal (but might be against some ToS) in many countries to change your IMEI including the US (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Equipment...).

> That somehow the authors of random libraries on npm are amazing coders whose code quality can't be touched by mere mortals like us.

That's not what I said, nor what I believe. But I think it absolutely is true that most developers would struggle to reproduce the functionality of a fairly meaty dependency they've chosen (that is, not most of the dreck on the npm registry).

If a dependency exists for what you need to do, and after some vetting believe it to be of good quality, it's highly unlikely that it would be a good use of your employer's time to reimplement it yourself. I agree that it'd probably be a good learning experience to do it, but that's not the only consideration.

As for the rest, there's nothing that you're saying that's particularly wrong, but it's absolutely wrong if you apply it 100% of the time, because that would mean everyone would have their own bespoke web framework, networking library, UI toolkit, etc. I don't expect that you're actually making that argument, so it's a bit uncharitable of you to suggest that I'm making the exact opposite one, that no one should ever think about implementing something themselves.

Dependencies have a cost. Not using a dependency also has a cost. Figuring out which cost is lower is part of the job, and that decision needs to be made several times on every project.

A bit late to the party here but Google's monopolistic tendencies are only increasing. When you login to any Google service, Chrome automatically recognises your login and keeps you logged in. The only way to disable this is in advanced settings. These kinds of practices should not be allowed.

We need anti-monopoly action to avoid complete dominance by these tech companies. Google services need to be split up and run independently.

Rather than spontaneously combusting; in a large bushfire that is generating firestorms, the pressure differential can cause nearby houses to literally explode. My late uncle who was at the Mt Macedon fires during Ash Wednesday told the story of getting trapped by the fire and sheltering with another firefighter in a house that was ripped apart around them - they ended up sheltering in a concrete toilet block as the fire raged past.

These type of fires create their own weather.
Best Smart Spin Bikes with a Built-In Touchscreen Display
This article is completely off point. The three Baltic states have inherited Soviet power system and back then they produced more power than they needed and they were net power exporters. However, in order to join the EU, they had to comply with very strict environmental regulations. For instance, Lithuania had to shut down Ignalina nuclear power plant, this was a required condition from the EU or Lithuania wouldn't be able to join the Union. Last year Estonia had to decommission their shale plants (yes, they used to burn shale) due to CO2. In order to get power from somewhere, a series of interconnectors were built, with Sweden and Finland (which is funny, 40% of Sweden's power comes from nuclear) and those interconnectors had 16 outages within a very short period of time, which happens when you build new grids, you need to work all kinks out. As the result of this, the price of power in the Baltic states increases by about 30% each year. So, this is the background story that you need to understand before reading the article. If you first destroy your power generation capacity and become depended on imports - yeah, you become vulnerable. Excess capacity is unprofitable BUT it's much safer to have it. Right now excess capacity for the Balitc states is Russia and they want to change it to the EU. But physics doesn't care about your political views. It's always smart to have internal excess capacity rather than depend on outside parties.

How and Why I Host Google Fonts Locally
Not what school they attend:
Except they dont mark their own schools and i think they keep the schools papers together in bundles. Plus markers have been to open days and continuous development days with the other teachers. plus they are having meetings daily to discuss how to mark classes of answers (where teaching methods used come up). i think the net of this is that they often do know what school they are marking (especially for the outliers - best and worst schools). For some subjects e.g. computer science then the pupils will answer in the langiages they were taught, so if its a python answer you know its one of the schools that teaches python)

There is kind of just a problem overall with comparing private schools to state schools. At the very least this process may have worked better if they had two data sets, one for private one for atate schools.

Beyond that though a stastical solution was never going to work, you cannot generate accurate discrete/quantized data, only representative random data.

private schools imho teach you to pass the exam, they are more cut throat about focussing on this than state schools. and the teachers seem to fight harder for their kids - the difference in personal statements from private school teachers compared to state schools on uni applications would be an interesting study.

I am not saying i have answers, just intereted in thw discussion. Overall i am always left with a few basic ideas to keep things fair (though i sometimes think some of these may be dumb and i am not suggesting do all of them):

-Zero charitable status or governemnt support for private education.

-cap the number of students a uni can take from one school (e.g. dont take the top 100 students, take the top 1 from 100 schools)

-ban people who were not state educated from governemnt positions. This is contravertial but imho you effectively live a different life when you go to privare schools (class sizes, support and oppourtunity are in comparable)

If you're this worried about leakage from signals, cameras, etc. what about the tradeoff of security where now you need to patch and monitor for any attacks on your device, now that you're off of any normal OEM's support?

What's the risk of that being done poorly by you, versus having better control over these physical switches?
> The Baltics could always get more power from Finland and Sweden and disconnect entirely from Russia and Belarus if necessary.

Estonia has been a net exporter of electricity since 2017. [1] Amusingly one of the export targets is Russia.

Looking at the current live data [2] it looks like Latvia is in a similar situation, although I haven't searched for yearly statistics.

Lithuania is a net importer though, but that's largely due to major restructuring of its electricity system. Specifically because a condition of Lithuania joining the EU was that it has to shut down its nuclear power plants. If those plants were still running then Lithuania would be a big exporter, because the plants were built during Soviet times with the idea of powering a bunch of the neighboring coutries as well.

OP is treating XOR as though it were not commutative between registers and memory:

> Consequently, there are actually two ways to encode xor eax, eax:

; r/m32, r
31 C0

; r, r/m32
33 C0

So, what I am saying is that write(memory,register) != write(register,memory) in the byte code, meaning that writing the XOR itself is a noncommutative operation. The machine running the code does however treat both option ultimately to get the same result.

The XOR algorithm remains unchanged and remains commutative. The execution routine of the XOR is noncommutative.

So, there are two operations here: XOR and executeXOR and OPs article is about using the machine level noncommutativity in the form of different byte strings for executeXOR. The machine still thinks that is is commutative for the end result of the calculation/routine.

My comment about cypher XOR plaintext = cyphertext is just a general comment about XOR.
I imagine there's going to be a very strong knee-jerk anti-Google reaction here, but let's stop and think about the law itself. If it actually does what this open letter says it does, then it's a bad law, plain and simple, and we should support and applaud efforts -- even Google's -- to inform the public with the hope of changing things.

(Tasks here referring to questions in the New York Regent’s science exam)

Same for me.

But it makes sense of course that learning from text only is entirely possible. I certainly have not directly observed the answer to eg. 'Which process in an apple tree primarily results from cell division? (1) growth (2) photosynthesis (3) gas exchange (4) waste removal', I have been taught, from text books, what the answer should be.

I do have a much better grounding of what growth is, what apples and apple trees are though.
I’m not so sure. Again speaking only from my observations. Some people i know have migrated to another country in their early twenties, taken on their new host language as their core. E.g partner and kids with this new language.

> I don't really want to trust Google, but they behave much better than the Australian government,

If you ignore who does it worst in pracice, the most important argument becomes apparent:

The Austrialian government is a democratically assigned entity; one that has (or should have?) checks and balances in place; one that is closely monitored as your various references prove.

Google, a foreign private entity has no such checks and balances in place. We don't vote in general elections for the new CEO of Google, we don't elect representatives into the board, and we cannot lean on transparancy laws to look into the kitchen at that private entity.

I would gladly donate to mozilla the day I knew my money didn't go to Bakers already filled pockets or to some worthless diversity cause like a "queer feminist filmmaker" that is obviously on their payroll.

Mozilla as an org takes in a lot of money already, it is just that they seem to spend it on nothing of value for the most part. It's sad, but it's the reality.

I trust Google way less. They want to take content from publishers and monetise it while giving very little back resulting in an unsustainable media model. Google does the equivalent of wiretapping every day then sells data to advertisers, far more lucrative than anything News Corp has ever done.

I don't especially like News Corp but their media properties are key to providing an alternative view to liberal news coverage across English speaking countries. In any case the solution to all of this is breaking Google up into its component parts and making them pay tax.

What prevents anyone from making a standard? Why do we see standards for everything else but this? What would the standard entail?

I think the real issue here is that payment is a hard problem, open payment systems like bitcoin is horrible to use, and closed payment systems like visa is closed due to trust and security concerns.
