Wow, that's quite an aggressive response, no?

The solution to your problem is to not allow large gatherings on the beach. That's pretty simple, right? We're doing that already everywhere else - lines to get into stores, etc. Or enforce wearing a mask? There's plenty of ways to do this that don't result in a squad of cops running down a solo jogger, or a task force of patrol boats and helicopters for a solo surfer... just because the Mayor or County Health Official said it must be so!

So, what's wrong, for the 3rd time, with a solo jogger on the beach, with nobody around them?

The answer, for a 3rd time, is nothing.

> However, you know what sucks more for locals? Getting Covid 19 from a bunch of out-of-towners

You really think that risk doesn't exist for locals going to grocery stores too? Touching a can of food, then putting it back on the shelf? Handling paper money, grocery bags, etc.

What we have here are not rules for the sake of safety. What we have here are not rules for the sake of "Flattening the Curve".

No, we have rules for the sake of rules. They make some people feel safer, even though there's zero evidence to suggest they are effective at achieving their intended goals. The reason people are disobeying these "orders" is because the government has not done a sufficient job convincing people the rules are based on logic and actual science, not "science" and politics.

It is not inherently more risky to jog on the beach by yourself than to go sit at an outdoor restaurant, no mask, and be around a bunch of other people.

It would be intellectually dishonest to argue otherwise. Yet, here we are.
Its about educating the kids, not babysitting. I expect my kids to learn something at school and socialize. Little kids especially do better in groups where everyone does the same thing, distance learning is a real tragedy for these kids. The kids are just reacting to a situation that is out of their control and they can't fully understand. Its really hard for parents/caregivers. We have to tag-team it at my house where we have mom or grandma during the day and dad at night. My son will spend 5 hours fighting you over 5 minutes of simple work that he can easily do - when he decides not to do it there is nothing that will motivate him, no reward great enough, no consequence harsh enough. Its easy to judge others but you never know what your future might hold.
Heck, older kids have problems. My brother has a large screen for the computer and his son did his first Zoom class and freaked out. The 30+ faces staring at him was just too much. My brother had to switch to the view that just shows the speaker. It was still a pain for the whole day. It's just not physical so it becomes watching a TV show for the whole day. There is something about the physical presence of others that makes things better.

> One of our interesting findings was the iptables rules, since when you enable Private IP access (Which cannot be disabled afterwards), access to the MySQL port is not only added for the IP addresses of the specified VPC network, but instead added for the full 10.0.0.0/8 IP range, which includes other Cloud SQL instances.

> Therefore, if a customer ever enabled Private IP access to their instance, they could be targeted by an attacker-controlled Cloud SQL instance. This could go wrong very quickly if the customer solely relied on the instance being isolated from the external world, and didn’t protect it with a proper password.

I'm not convinced by this, I'm not sure it is vulnerable in the way the author is suggesting "they could be targeted by an attacker-controlled Cloud SQL instance".

First of all, GCE has firewall rules outside of iptables. But the main thing is that the way Cloud SQL does Private IP is via VPC peering. Google creates a VPC on their side, runs MySQL in it, and peers that VPC with your VPC. You actually tell Google what CIDR range to use in the their VPC (the Cloud SQL VPC).

I don't think is it fair to assume that all customers are in the same VPC, and same subnets, with routes between them, and no GCE firewall rules blocking them.
While true, that map and a photo of an outdoor space with people in it are poor pieces of data to hinge your entire argument on.

You completely failed to take into account people working from home, schools delaying opening and not having been in session since March or April, and all of the other measures that have been put in place to decrease transmission (masks, barriers, decreased social interactions, restaurant closings, other indoor spaces being closed, etc, etc, etc).

Your conclusion is flawed because you left all of these factors out of your analysis.

> In the future, we have talked about analysing a pet’s body in addition to its face in order to improve the accuracy.

I think that's vital. Most of "Dog language" and even more of "Cat language" consists of body language. Things like pose and tension in relation to the rest of the things in the area at the moment. Dogs and cats are gifted with the ability to "speak human" enough to be understood tolerably well, but their language is demonstrably more complicated.
The Tech quotes peer reviewed science like the lay press. But they generally do a better job of quoting quality science and conveying the research accurately (as opposed to politically). I think the issue here is speed. Most of the research informing this pandemic is scientist opinion, back of the envelope calculation, and pre-prints. The reason for this is that peer review lives in the world of years and we need information in the world of days to weeks to make good decisions for public health. If we wait for peer review, the pandemic will be over or the conclusions will be obsolete.
ok? Nothing I said was wrong. I never said "EU", and I never said "EU includes Russia", and I never said "Europe doesnt include Russia".

So what is your point? Just throwing out random facts? And even if you just talk about EU, its still embarassing. EU still has 35% higher population than the US, while the US has 4 times the daily cases.
I am one of those people that goes to a small gym near my apartment daily, even in the current times. The gym isn't very full, maybe a total of 4-5 people when I'm there (I picked my time based on how full it is). Everyone is obligated to wear a mask, there are disinfection sprays and one-time-use wipes that we have to use after finishing with a machine. Some people are also disinfecting equipment before they use it. The gym has the windows open and added disinfection diffuser thingies into each corner.

The reason for why I take the risk and keep go is pretty simple: Mental health.

When we had a lockdown, gyms closed and I was confined to my apartment 24/7 I felt horrible. Days just blurred into each other, I gained weight, my motivation to do anything dropped. My life was just work and I hated it.
Of course I bought a set of dumbbells (which were also ridiculously expensive because everyone had the same idea) and tried running but that only gets you so far. I can't get more equipment at home because my apartment is like 35sqm

When the gyms reopned I started going again and kept my guard up: Disinfect everything, don't be near other people, be careful when I take my mask off, wash my hands before I touch anything after I finish. Since then I started feeling much better. Even if I don't do anything else like meeting friends, going out for drinks, or if my workday happened to be shitty, I have something that makes me think more about myself and my health. Sports has incredible benefits on mood, sleep and mental health, hence why I take the risk.

For all we know, this pandemic can continue for a very long time. I'm not saying we should all forget the virus and do what we did before, but we should still try to find a somewhat healthy day-cycle that doesn't knock us in lockdown depression. Going to a small, empty gym while keeping my guard up is my calculated risk of "with corona".

>People don't become less racist after eating foreign food

No, I think the point is, people (like the author) feel less racist after eating foreign food among people who don't look like them. Pride is one possible emotion, but relief is one that seems like it would generalize more. The internet is full of faceless people talking about racism, and getting out in the real world and doing normal things around normal people can be therapeutic. Like taking a walk outside the cult compound.

>They shouldn't, on top of that, be forced to emotionally validate their customers.

Well, the point is to describe how they do, whether or not intentionally; do you have a proposal for how they should stop gratifying customers?

You're entitled to find the picture painted ugly, but if it's really shocking, then writing the article may be worthwhile regardless.
Herd immunity is not in reality a single cutoff, it's a spectrum. So there is some point- looking like ~30% where R<1 and cases dip. But the > the %, the more immunity.

What’s nuts about the cancellation policies? Genuinely curious as I lead that team.
Huh?

I think you've missed the point.

There's a person out there who thinks it's a perfectly healthy way of life to consume beer as their only fluid intake. Every day. For years. I guess you really need the context of the article - the main concern of it was really highlighting the fact that they weren't aware only drinking beer could been even remotely harmful to somebody, specifically because it had "light" in the name. Like, even if it had nothing to do with her being hospitalized. Not an argument as to whether or not doing so/having the choice to is wrong - simply that the fact a beverage, alcoholic nonetheless, could not be even slightly bad for the human body, because it had "light" in the name...

I know that may seem like satire to us - but this person was completely serious. Or is there something about your comment that I'm missing?
Our Kindergarten teacher made cut out images of all the buttons and walked each kid how to mute and unmute. It’s been a week and they seem to have gotten the conferencing part down. The other online tools is what we have problems with, they aren’t made for kids who can’t read. They slapped on some click to speak function that doesn’t work. Also all the services are overloaded and always throwing 500s.
Also, States are not uniformly immune. NYC is more immune than the rest of the state so some of the continued daily new cases are in upstate new york and other areas. We need to look at a county level to accurately parse.
Nvidia Shield (I think it's considered an AndroidTV). It isn't as cheap as a chromecast and it isn't plain Linux but my wife and I are thinking about getting one for our TV because of the convenience/ease-of-use. You can still cast to it if you need to, but you can get all of the streaming apps you need and I don't think I've seen an ad at all (other than in a streaming app such as Prime).
And many emotional displays are transient, like stress induced yawns in dogs (I note stress isn't in their top 5 list but it's common during training and learning new things).
The fundamental issue I see in the piece is a conflation of what herd immunity means. Normally, it's used in the context of normal activity levels - as in, if everyone went back to normal pre-pandemic routines, would we see cases go up or down? But, you're using it in the context of current activity levels, which are still significantly different than pre-pandemic activity levels.

All you are effectively saying is that, given the current mitigation measures and given the current level of population immunity, R is less than 1 in these places. But, that's not really a revelation.

What one would expect is likely to be the case is that some areas have had enough exposure that it has a non-zero impact on their current R, as in NY and NJ. This means there may be more buffer to relax mitigation measures without seeing R rise above 1, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are at herd immunity.
God bless your grandmother, I wept reading this post.
I think you just answered your own question. Compared to your workflow, the squash-merge workflow allows:

- Commit and push naturally as you work

- Reviewers to look at individual commits separately after having already reviewed previous commits

- Squash-and-merge with one click (usually, e.g. GitHub) instead of messing around with git resets and branch history.
The relevance is this period in time is majorly fucked up, and will fuck people up for years.

So, I think the proposed math is something like: 1/3rd of infected don't show antibodies so that 20% means 30% were infected. Another study showed pre-existing T cell reactivity (maybe immunity?) in 40% of people, so if you combine those you're at 70%.

Edit : user https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jakevoytko has a much more concise view of the same. I swear I didn't steal this from him :)

I can speculate a bit but let's look at the product from a VC POV. The key metric for all I know they are tracking is "engagement - a.k.a amount of time spent on site which is a proxy for number of ads viewed/clicked etc". This has a few implications :

1. A mobile site (e.g. on mobile Safari) can't entice a user to view articles when Reddit wants them to. In other words, "I" open reddit when "I" want to.

2. I haven't accessed mobile site in a while but (hopefully) it won't have infinite scrolling which means I tire quickly of clicking "Next" and leave the site. An app removes this possibility

3. As alluded in #1, an app can have all sorts of notifications which entice me to access reddit a lot more
and can possibly track a lot more than a browser will allow. This is valuable for Reddit in terms of "targeting ads" and hopefully makes the mobile users more valuable than us plebes.

Thank you reddit for pushing the app so much. I hate it and will not install it.

His identity is not an open question. We know exactly where and when William Shakespeare of Stratford was born and baptized (in those days they recorded baptism dates, not births). We know who his parents were, who his wives and kids were, the names of his 8 siblings, and the business ventures of his family...to name a few things.

We also know when he got started in the London theater scene, and how his career and skill developed (we've found early poetry of his which was not very good, for example). We even know that he became very wealthy and famous (he was famous even during his life) due to the success of his plays, and acquired quite a bit of real estate before he died.

I got a MacBook-air sized xps, and the hardware is fantastic, better than any MacBook imo - the bezel alone makes it so.

But I have never had a laptop that gave me as much trouble with Linux. I bought two of them over the course of a couple of years, and both the one that shipped with Windows and the one that shipped with Ubuntu had CONSTANT hardware compat issues.

This was a while ago (after the reboot of the line), so the build quality and compatibility may each have gotten better/worse.
My take on this is that, all else being equal, it seems the major selling point of Conventional Commits is that their commit summaries can be used to calculate the next version bump. But IMHO, instead of asking everyone to annotate every single commit message with a marker just so a separate tool can process it (possibly to get it wrong), it's better to just update the version directly when making changes. This way the version bump is deliberately and carefully thought out, and doesn't need to pollute all commit messages in the process.

So an app on your phone, looking out through a camera on your glasses, could issue a security alert for very angry or scared people or animals in view.

People with the skills to read the subtleties of others' emotions have a great advantage. This tech could make some of that skill downloadable from the app store. Using it to tell if your cat is mad at you seems like the least of it.
The CEO probably was able to increase per-worket productivity.

It doesn't sound good, but I think it would be a attractive.

The current death toll is around 170K, so we are talking a 300k difference.

Deaths associated with loss of work and restricted access to healthcare will certainly exceed that by the time we lift restrictions. So the sooner we get to 480k, the better.

That said, I don't have much confidence in the 480k number.

I think using herd immunity to apply to temporary network states is going to be more confusing than helpful. There will be some fuzziness at the edges - some of the changes and adaptations we make during this pandemic will probably persist longer term.

fair point, but do you know that the under 65 excess deaths metrics for Sweden is already almost identical to previous years ie. if you were looking at the charts you would not even know they had a pandemic. I suspect "years from now" looking at the US metrics it will be similar.
