To clarify:

- Workers run in the colo that received the request. We currently literally have no capability to forward Workers requests to other colos. (It's possible we'll introduce that in the future, but it's not the case today.)

- Enabling Workers does not affect how your traffic is routed to colos. So if you're seeing Workers requests not going to the closest colo today, then regular non-Workers requests wouldn't either.

It sounds like the issue here is that your base Cloudflare plan is the "free" plan (confusingly-named because you're separately paying $5/month for workers on top of that).

When we have a colo that doesn't have enough capacity to handle all the local traffic, we often route free-plan traffic away from it, and they end up landing at the next-closest colo. This is completely unrelated to Workers -- it applies to any kind of Cloudflare traffic. If you upgrade to a higher plan level (e.g. pro at $20/month), you should see this happen much less often, if ever.

Sorry that this is confusing! We should probably document this better.

My customer owns a metal factory and complained about this: the unemployment boost made it impossible for him to fill low level positions as most would make more to stay home.
Yes, unfortunately as long as you have humans making laws they'll be full of contradictions and unintended consequences.
We certainly can. There's a huge amount of influence america has on global eating habits. Coca-Cola, Frito-Lay, and McDonald's are some of the major corporate villains, in case you forgot, and they deserve their reputations.
Wow, this person is really claiming that NYC was "herd immune by May 1st".

Even the articles cited to try and make these claims are saying something completely different. The "article" states-

> MIT’s news publication, The Tech, now seems confident that immunity is happening

Yet if you actually read what The Tech wrote it's very clearly not saying that-

> “It seems there is the ‘herd immunity is already reached’ team and the ‘we are all going to die’ team. The good thing is, that there is a third ‘let’s get the data and let’s look at what this all means team’ out there,” tweeted Florian Krammer, an immunologist at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York City.

The article also makes a distinction between "herd immunity" (where the entire herd is immune because there aren't enough people susceptible to the disease to transmit it) and "population immunity" (where there is enough immunity to slow- but not stop- the spread). The author completely ignores this distinction to try and make it look like The Tech was saying something they didn't.
that's what's known as the "slippery slope" argument. The response to this virus is just so shocking that oh wow, what if this is the new norm? It's not at all. this virus is not "the norm", this is a 100 year event. don't hurt your head on that slope!
Not really. There's a difference between cane sugar, and high fructose corn syrup.

Not that too much can sugar is good for you either, but it's more expensive, so before the advent of corn syrup, less was used.
I remembered there were third-party games available on the iPod, but checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_game , it doesn't look like an SDK ever made it to the public.
I remember some statistics that showed smokers thought cigarettes were more carcinogenic than non-smokers, and actually more than they actually are.

So yeah, information is certainly necessary but not enough.
I'm confused, if the participants wear a mask, will the virus be transmitted or not?

For some, it's not about whether the virus is transmitted or not, it's about the moral implications of deliberately violating the law.

But considering these underground places aren't licensed, regulated, or inspected, I expect they're more risky than a regular place. There's very good health and sanitation reasons that hair cutting places are regulated in the first place.
Yeah, I feel like we're realistically far from "eat the rich" land, but I do feel like society is being pushed closer and closer to the precipice. I mean, just take a look at pg's wealth tax post, which while I won't necessarily say was "tone deaf", it was at least woefully out of touch IMO: "You can't add a wealth tax, founders will go elsewhere!"

If we don't figure out how to more equally distribute the rewards of capitalism, we may find there are very few people left to buy the goods founders want to sell, unless we all want to do high-end art marketplace startups.

> Why would governors want keep gyms and restaurants closed post-COVID?

A completely corrupt mayor could use this newfound power to solicit some political donations. There are plenty other possibilities, like the need to be seen responding to the crisis or "tough on the virus".
That's a bit of a simplification. Fact is, real estate is at or near peak as seen by slowing prices. The interest rate for any money vehicle is near zero. The stock market is the only place to stash it.
I'm more interested in Lumen (https://github.com/lumen/lumen). Lumen is a compiler for the VM+Application rather than an embedded VM running bytecode directly. It's targeted at WebAssembly but it's an LLVM backend so most embedded targets should be possible.

Maybe my reasoning is faulty and I don't have data to back it up, but my expectation is that it will have better performance (code size, run speed, memory usage) than the Atom approach.
This is the thought behind Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain[0], which I've always meant to get more in to after purchasing the book in college. One simpler way of saying what you said is that when asked to draw a person, many draw a stick figure, and yet, that is not what people /look/ like, or rather, are /seen like/. The five components listed on [0] reinforce what you've suggested ("imagery data") are required for true sight-to-paper 'drawing.'

The answer is probably the usual: money.

Someone got a "use it or lose it" budget.
Careful with this one. He's really stretching a lot of facts here. 3% infection -> immunity isn't insane but it's not something that can be relied upon and it's way too early to be sure this is the end. We're still seeing repeat infections as well.

14. "The Haunted House" is not an ad as far as I can see. It does have an upvote button.

15. is a job posting by a YC company. Perhaps you could classify it as an ad, but I see it as a perk that YC grants its own companies.
"A few months ago I said “let’s do a science experiment- if NY has herd immunity cases won’t go up with reopening”. Well here are the results- NY, not going up. There really is no other explanation I can think of for this besides herd immunity."

Now that's Real Science™.
That's fascinating, and I had wondered if it were happening. I guess I was right. Due to the timing of the last 6 months or so, I haven't been making it to the gym as much. I started focussing more on mountain biking, I broke my hand, then my clavicle, traveled to Japan, and then the pandemic showed up.

With all this more focused time during lockdown, I was tempted to buy my own equipment and toyed with the idea of letting some friends come use it, it got me thinking about the legalities and liabilities of that kind of thing.

If we go back into lockdown, I'll definitely be buying my own equipment. I do powerlifting, so bodyweight and a few dumbells don't really cut it.
It’s not just encourage. What we’re finding is that the government has to be authoritarian. China welded people into their homes to keep them from spreading COVID. They literally caged them like animals and threw them into trucks. Now Mexico is denying children potato chips.

Think about universal healthcare and alcohol. How much money is spent on alcohol related issues? The best answer is to ban its sale. Same for tobacco. Enough people have shown then are unable or unwilling to do the right thing. As a result junk food, booze and smokes need to go the way of freedom of speech. We need to ban them.
I can certainly understand people’s need to continue their exercise routine. This is for their physical and mental health. As long as they keep the precaution in place, whip down and clean up and social distancing.

For me I’ve canceled the gym membership and taking up biking. It has been working out great. Discovered a lot more biking trials around the area. Got plenty of sua shine and vitamin D along the way.
There’s been a pretty widespread consensus growing in recent years around buying low cost index funds and holding them for the long run. In crises of the past, people would panic sell, which would create a vicious downward cycle. I wonder if what’s going on is that everyone is just riding the market and content to see their stocks dip in the short term, knowing it’d only be temporary.

If that is the case, then you also have to wonder what this will do to the long term market. If everyone is only buying and holding (except when they retire), then the market can’t really go down. Or can it?
The biggest challenge is obeying the law and might not be the app.

Might be another way to circumvent this would be to masquerade as a delivery service with a free lift.

Not sure if the law covers that part as well.
The entire article is a PDF embedded into an iFrame, it doesn't render without Javascript enabled. It's very odd to me, I have no idea why they'd choose that format. Maybe the article was written for print and they just decided not to port it? I don't think it would be difficult to show this content in HTML form.

In any case, if you're really curious you can visit the PDF directly, with no JS requirements, at https://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/September_202...
I had to sell my old euro car (to an out-of-stater) when I moved to CA because despite miraculously meeting strict CA smog guidelines it never had to meet in its decades of existence, it had non-approved (i.e. $CA stamped$) parts in it and failed the "visual". Clean-blowing, perfectly functional car, had to sell it anyway. I'm still bitter.
> Addictive poison, really? Wait til they see what's in fruit.

Is that supposed to be a contradiction? It is in fruit and therefore it can't be bad? The poisonous fruit of Atropa belladonna comes to mind.

> Of course in excess it's bad, but normal sugar consumption is not an issue.

The thing is, though, that normal sugar consumption is borderline impossible in a modern diet. You have to go out of your way to avoid sugar, it requires informed decision-making and -- all too often -- purchasing relatively expensive products. Consequently, people who lack education and/or have a low-income are particularly vulnerable.

I agree with the original comment, these products should be outright banned.
Is this a non-sarcastic comment?

Valve and HTC VR are far superior. Quest is selling great because it's a standalone, but the resolution is poor and it's pretty buggy. Mine crashes at some point in about 33% of sessions. Oculus store has a very limited selection of games, and their recommendation engine is laughably bad ("Did you like Beatsaber? maybe you'll like a roller coaster simulator"). Casting from the Quest barely functions and disconnects frequently. Thank god for Sidequest, or I'd already have upgraded to Valve Index.

In what way do you think Oculus is superior?

I wondered that too. Looks like a PDF embedded in the page. Maybe they still make some physical magazine and the web content is secondary.

Anecdata: It also completely stopped working on my iPhone 6 about 2 weeks ago. The site will only load the header and logo, then stay stuck as if it was loading forever. Same thing happens on safari and chrome, nothing happened after clearing all browser data. Currently going to old.reddit.com, but the mobile experience with that is pretty bad. I guess it's a good thing, as I'm using it a lot less now.

I mean only to say that they are both products, and that they may both result in injury or death if they are produced irresponsibly.

Would you not agree with those two points of comparison?
> Things you can't do without.

This gets tricky. Of course we know that when there's a fire, a firefighter is often imminently essential. But it's trickier to imagine a society where all "non-essential" jobs are banned indefinitely. You wouldn't die in a matter of minutes like in the fire example, but you'd also probably find such a society unrecognizable to the extent that you might reconsider what types of jobs are and aren't "essential." There'd be a lot of poverty, a lot of hunger, and yes, it would cause a lot of people to die.
The only solution to mentioned problems is IMO: we'll have to adapt our environment to the moving machines. At least in early stage, before they will do it autonomously. Language will adapt more by itself (to make machines pass Turing test we need change in language, just as we need change in machines - people will adapt to useful machines)
Where are the parents?
And why is Reddit so obsessed with its redesign? I cannot think that more than single-digit percentages prefer the slow, ugly, comment-hiding redesign over the fast, attractive, useful old design.

Just write the redesign off as a failed experiment and build a new design off of the old one. Seriously, even at Reddit what proportion of employees and developers use the new design when given the option?

People consume less when consumption is less convenient. A billion people aren't going to start baking cupcakes every day.
Sorry i'll acknowledge that point. I misinterpreted one of the tech articles where it was stated as the first bond yield at such at low rate since 1980 as being the first bond issue full stop.

I think the point still stands as a whole though. When you see things such as
"Of the $10 billion on offer, the $1 billion five-year tranche was issued at a coupon of 0.45%, the lowest coupon seen on a U.S. corporate bond at that maturity, according to Refinitiv data, which goes back to 1980."
It's worth highlighting the rarity of these circumstances.

It is dangerous to say this at this point. People who have an agenda will use this to say that it is now safe to resume business as usual. IT IS NOT!
Can't you just do a:

#define CPP_CALL unsafe

in the Rust equivalent to annotate "unsafe" cpp calls from Rust?

"No boilerplate or redeclarations. No C++ annotations. Ideally, no allowlist."

This seems like an unpractical approach. How do you even call C++ code from Rust without extern "C" linkage.

Then they would not have a comment. Just typical bashing of Americans - report and move on.
> It sounds like your suggestion would lower the bar for both these aspects, and only catch issues after the fact - something which could have fatal consequences.

The other side of this is:

1) Since the FDA is a monopoly, it's entirely possible (and probably demonstrable) that they've set the wrong bars, which could have fatal consequences.

2) It's arguable that the costs imposed by the FDA may have fatal consequences themselves, in the form we're seeing today, where life-saving drugs (antibiotics, in this case) can't be developed because of them.

I'm interested in hearing your response to the above two points. I'd also be interested to hear what you'd think of a "de-fanged" FDA wherein they are able to approve or disapprove medications, but are not able to enforce those decisions. People would be allowed to do with their own bodies as they please, but they'd be able to reference the FDA to make those decisions.
Let me preface:
I've abstained from going to the gym since we went into lockdown, and even now that we are out of it here. I am looking into equipment at home, and I can at least keep my fitness, if not my strength, by going mountain biking.

That said, there are many types of training you can't do without the right equipment, so it's at least a bit more than just wanting to be with others. Strength training/powerlifting/olympic lifting all come to mind. It's often really difficult to keep a rack, barbell and hundreds of kilos of weight at home, and obviously not something people had just lying around in case of an emergency.

There is certainly a social aspect to it as well, I love training with a couple of friends, the atmosphere can't be replicated at home. But like I said, I've abstained, and I would have been hopeful others would have to.
thanks, ideas do repeat. But it is quite interesting that they repeat at approximately same time...
Can anyone be so kind as to explain to me why did Apple accept to do this work without contract and payment, as the blog describes?

It's not the scratching that's the problem. It's the shattering.

I'll take, any day, a hard plastic screen which will survive being kicked round the streets with only a bit of scuffing to show for it over a scratch-proof glass one which turns into a mosaic if it drops off my desk.
- A successful life often feels like day-to-day failure. Failure to reach ambitious goals, but 90% of the goal is often good enough.

- Dedicating one’s life to work is often a form of suicide. « SINCE my life is void and I won’t do anything tonight, why not study this book, apply for an MBA or build a company. At least that will be some challenge. It’s not like I’m losing family time, and it will help me focus on one thing. »

I’ll leave people to decide whether this is good or bad, but if most people’s lives were fulfilling, we wouldn’t see that much technological progress.

I’m not denying a good share of people are into tech or work by passion, I’m just talking about those who work as a mean to avoid depression.
Executives are also elected, and most states (all?) have provisions for extraordinary measures in extraordinary situations. Legislatures are able to override them given sufficient super-majorities. Courts prevent executives from overstepping their authority.
I'm confident you can construct an unhealthy taco, but is there anything inherently wrong with tacos? Fundamentally it's just a bit of meat, veggies and cheese. The tortilla is grain and thus arguably not great, but tortillas are pretty small compared to the average sandwich bread.
At that point you now have the downside of writing reducers (verbose, unintuitive) and the dependency on a large library with a lot of customization to get it even close to syntax you'd prefer.

Namespacing doesn't solve what I'm talking about here completely, you'd still be writing state away from the components that use it and in a reducer form, plus there are numerous pitfalls to doing this in redux (you'd end up with a whole toolkit of addons to get it to be what you want).

I'd recommend looking at something like zustand or recoil, both which are headed in the direction we should be at. There are others, check out dai-shi's work on a few different state systems (use-atom looks decent).
This.

Your home should be seeing multiple air exchanges per hour. It doesn't much matter if particles are filtered on entry or after, but (paradoxically) an indoor filter which accomplishes multiple passes of air through the filter membrane is likely more effective than an intake filter which only conditions the airstream once.

Most homes or bedrooms should see 5-6 exchanges per hour:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_changes_per_hour

The minimum standard is 0.35 exchanges/hr:

DIY box-fan + furnace filter methods can be effective at reducing indoor particulate levels significantly. Not quite as effective as manufactured HEPA filters, but at a fraction of the cost.

I don't think they did, but that's up to the buyers of AAPL shares to assess. I bought a house five years ago that is now valued $300k more. Did I (or anyone else) create $300k of value to "justify" the increased valuation? I don't think so. It's simply what people are willing to pay in the current market.
The pile of problems in Robotics reminds me of the challenges faced by computer vision before modern methods were developed. To generalize the issue: humans learn and perform vision and navigational tasks "below" the level of language.

To use a vivid example, you can use language to teach a child how to hold a pencil and write, how to recognize digits, and how to do two digit addition. But there's some cognitive ability "below" the level language a child needs to be capable of in order to take the hints from language and develop the desired skills. In computer vision, we now have something like this in ConvLayers.

In today's robotics we see the hyper-systematization and mathematization of natural concepts like getting an agent to recognize its own bearing. This is what I refer to as "at the level of language", and I think as long as we try to solve these individual navigation problems from mathematical first principles we'll never arrive anywhere near the performance of animal "instinct". We need a new framework that doesn't look like an enumeration of commands within an imperative program.
