CVDPV still is weaker than "wild" polio - only about 1000 cases ever (out of billions of vaccinations), and outbreaks are controlled quickly (if slower than the original expectation). Apparently both due to remaining mutations and since it's nearly all polio type 2 - which was otherwise eradicated a long time ago, apparently that type is a bit less "fit".

It's a problem, but one that can be managed by the existing tools which brought polio down to this level - many countries switched from trivalent OPV or removed OPV2 precisely to avoid this scenario, and a new OPV2 vaccine will hopefully eliminate the problem in the affected areas:

I think the "defund the police" movement has a very unfortunate name. Many (hopefully most) people don't want to pull _all_ funding from the police. They want to appropriately redistribute funds. That means stopping spend on surplus military weapons and tanks, and instead put more money towards the proper training you mentioned.

You don't need to sign your code before being able to write your code.
I can't say for you, but there are plenty of other options. PocketBook (which recently released a color e-ink ereader), Kobo, Onyx (which I have heard negative things about regarding their unwillingness to comply with the GPL for their Linux kernel), the ReMarkable (which I have heard is incredibly hackable), and the Nook. There's probably even more I'm forgetting, but Kindles are definitely not the only option.

The penalty here isn't because your equipment fell apart, it is if you keep playing with broken equipment then that is a penalty. If your stick breaks and you drop it on the ice then you are fine.

Broken sticks are sharp so playing with one is a safety hazard.
This is even summed up in a bit of wisdom: in a sentence containing the word "but", you may safely ignore everything which comes before that word.

Because the hardware has a lot of direct advantages (Apple has the best chips) as well as user service lock (iTunes, iMessage).

Firstly you were born on a patch of land that imposes its own laws on you. Did you sign a contract to say you would adhere to those laws? This is all about power and control over less powerful innocent people being treated like sleepy idiots.
So to answer your question, out smart them to win, and then you will find they play dirty and illegally, against the spirit of the law they claim to uphold. 5 Eyes best demonstrates this by circumventing domestic laws, they dont have the intelligence to win the argument in their own courts. This also tells you that you can out smart them so get thinking, this is an intelligence game.
To add a data point, my advisor told me to do the same. In fact, I actually spoke to one of his then-RAs who was leaving to go to the other side of the world (by sheer coincidence).

That discussion confirmed I was making the right decision, and I was able to gauge as well from the "warnings" I received that I was going down the right route. So I would definitely echo the above, and advise you speak to at least one of their previous students. If none are still around, that might be a red flag (or they might all be getting snapped up right away into jobs, but they will make the time to discuss with you, if they felt their advisor helped them!)

I would personally find it surprising if someone who wanted me to advise them didn't seek views from those I had advised previously.
A better method would be 5 whys(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_whys). Keep asking whys until you discover the root cause. Or in this case until you discover the larger impact of an event.
The G stands for guide. You need a testsuite to create a guided profile to optimize the branch hints.

Normally there's a simple make target, like chrome.pgo to create the initial binary chrome, run the testsuite with pgo or better autofdo via perf and from this create the optimized chrome.pgo. using Facebook's bolt is even better.

I have no idea about Google's byzantinian bazel tool. With make it's a simple target which automates these steps.
I believe page location analytics are used for the amount of money that goes to Kindle Unlimited authors, also.

It can't just track the very last page in the book that you read, because authors were gaming that by encouraging people to immediately skip to the last page of very large works they didn't otherwise care about. Instead there's some kind of heuristic that tries to figure out if you've more-or-less-normally read the book.
Massive congratulations! Let's see about malaria next.

I have heard that it might not be crazy to apply DDT sparingly and appropriately to this problem. To my knowledge, it was a big part of how mosquito-borne disease was virtually eradicated in North America.

Got distracted by the new post already added above this one, about the collapse of the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge. In particular, other than its being a rare example of a spectacular bridge collapse that was more-or-less caught on film, I'm not sure it's a great example for an engineering ethics class. Because the most likely cause of its failure wasn't any particular ethical consideration, but the interaction of phenomema (wind vortex shedding and structural resonance) about which nobody had a lot of experience or knowledge at the time. Time goes by and we learn from the successes and the failures. Almost every major earthquake ends up pushing a few changes to the building codes.

To turn this around a bit, I don't think dispensing with F# is that difficult.

Sure Apple customers have more money, but hopefully when you buy your next gadget the old one could be sold or donated to someone less wealthy.

The possible bad future I can see is this

- judge decides Apple can do whatever they want

- Google says "Great, then we can do the same" and all Android phones get locked

- Microsoft then also says thinks "Fuck, we are suckers, so they force the PC makers to DRM the computers to run only Windows and say something like "if you don't like it buy Linux"

So we will have tons of hardware that is DRMed and locked, you can run only what american companies approved and only if you have a valid user or developer accounts and maybe you need internet connection so the files are checked before you are allowed to open them.

> You shouldn't be expecting to queue up thousands of messages from potentially hours of the tab being backgrounded and handle them all when the tab is unbackgrounded.

In this specific case, the games only lasted 3-4 minutes each and players were also timed-out after periods of inactivity.

> Nor should you process all the state changes as they come in even though the tab is backgrounded - no user wants to spend data/power/cpu/battery/heat on something like that.

In the case of games, players do expect multiplayer games to keep running (unless it is paused, and you can't usually pause multiplayer games). Yes, I agree that the game could optimize this AFK period, for example by disabling rendering, but game events should still be triggered in real-time and notify players (with sound at least) of what's happening.

My point is, there are cases when a browser background tab should still run at 100%. Other examples: uploading a video to YouTube in a background tab, running a chess engine to get best move in a position, converting a video, etc.
Weird that the focus is on that one question, rather than on "Confidence About Receiving Positive Treatment by Police"
Very different near me. Fedex is the most reliable usually delivering before 2pm followed by UPS who will typically deliver before 6pm of the estimated delivery date. I get the best tracking details from both providers showing me where my package is and even a time estimate for delivery.

Amazon itself is next, usually arriving on time, occasionally a package will be delayed and I'll get an e-mail telling me as much.

USPS is by far the worst unless it is priority mail express. One thing that constantly happens is Amazon will hand off a package to USPS for final delivery, USPS will then mark it delivered on the day it is supposed to come, but won't actually deliver it for another 2 days. I have also had packages seemingly lost or stolen once being handed off to USPS including a very expensive computer monitor. Amazon refunded me of course, but it seems clear someone decided to steal it. Priority Mail Express service though has always been perfect.
It's not about biting. You're allowed to feel however you want. It's unproductive and shitty to make drive by vague observations. I'm not even commenting on whether or not the feelings are valid, I'm commenting on the silly behavior that was posting "So far."

Maybe it would make sense to set up the solar array like a huge umbrella on the sun-facing side of the colony. Then you can cover the now-shady outside surface with radiators.

The privacy concerns raised in the article are, as spankalee explains, based on a misunderstanding of what WebBundles make easier.

(Disclosure: I also work for Google)
Nowadays you are using perf profiles, and then use this with autofdo. The old -fprofile-use is not good enough and needs two steps.
But a link to a pdf (which they can just as easily host themselves) that doesn't link elsewhere isn't going to take you to other websites.
> I'm currently exploring using WebBundles to serve multiple ads in response to a single ad request, because it allows ads to be served more efficiently while keeping them secure and private, but ad blockers would still prevent the ad js from loading before the ad request was ever sent.

Why is this a use-case that I as a web user should care about? Frankly, I don't find it very comforting that an article raises privacy concerns, and an engineer working on ads at Google responds with "these concerns are misguided; I'm exploring this technology to make ads better."
My house is two miles down a paved road from the nearest village (800 full-time residents in the Western Sierras), and USPS doesn't deliver mail, although they do provide a free PO Box in the village. UPS and Fedex both deliver to my door.

Anecdotally, your claim doesn't seem correct, but I'm not sure what the exact rules are.
Yes.

People will agree, in theory. But here's what happens. The data science team will grill the generalist about finding a steepest descent vector and how logistic regression works, and conclude that the candidate just isn't going to be populate, run, and interpret output form a neural net.

Then, the data engineering team will ask the generalist to write code to print the path from one leaf node to another in a binary tree at the whiteboard in 45 minutes, and conclude that the candidate just isn't going to be able to figure out how to identify matching terms in different parts of a JSON tree.

Eventually, both groups withdraw into their own silos and confuse each other. They may decry the lack of generalists, but when it comes time to hire, they will resolutely not hire candidtes with 80%ile skills in both areas. They will hire only people with 95%ile skills in one area. They may get some people who have well rounded skill sets through sheer chance, but their process selects against this outcome.

Spectre seems serious. Even the E family of languages (E, Monte, Joule, Grace), which have similar lineage to ECMAScript but have always been focused on isolation, don't have ready answers for how to mitigate Spectre and related attacks.

I think that hardware-effect attacks are going to be the primary thorn in our side for the next few decades, even if we all agree to switch to object-capability systems immediately.

> at no point do we receive any training regarding practical components of research

I think the fact is that most advisors get no training regarding the practical components of being an advisor. So it really shouldn't be a surprise that there's a huge amount of variation here.

One my big takeaways from my own PhD was that different professors have wildly different levels of ability in terms of people management. All of the professors I met were very smart, but some of them were clearly very poor at the people management aspect of things.

Having said that, I'm not sure what I would actually suggest to a student going into a PhD program today. My observations were formed after watching a few projects crash and burn, and that's not necessarily the path I'd recommend for finding out if your advisor is a good one.
Not sure if it just me, but I find it considerably more relaxing to read the text from the photo of the page (with all the surface and font imperfections) than read text written with the same font rendered on solid background (this time perfect).

It's almost like I need the paper and font imperfections to read faster.

My theory is that the brain somehow uses the paper and font imperfections to coregister (align) the binocular images from our eyes, which leads to smoother reading.
Well, my story was 15 years ago and in an area where students were mostly expected to bring their own research questions to the program. I had trouble getting the time of day from potential advisors, to say nothing of interviewing them about potential projects and their advising methodology!
It's still an incredibly asanine point for a general discussion because it's true of almost any contract. It's ajin to people who constantly use phrases like "in my opinion" in general conversations, it's already implied by context.
Many of those that lead intelligence agencies are not rich and powerful but middle class bureaucrats. Many who hold top secret clearances aren't billionaires. That information isn't fed to society's wealthy but in defense of the state, which benefits the rich but also the public.

There are many uses of intelligence and not all of it benefits the rich and powerful. To pretend that the intelligence world exists solely to provide tips to the well connected is ridiculous. It's not that it doesn't, it's just not that black and white.

The world is far more nuanced compared to your abstracted sweeping examples.

> A non trivial number of the protesters are advocating for complete elimination of the police though.

This categorically isn't defunding police, this is police abolition, and getting them confused is likely why you think it's a luxury belief because I fail to see what's luxurious about getting tear gassed every Friday/Saturday night or having the cops stand aside letting groups like the Proud Boys brutalize protestors and journalists. There's nothing luxurious about getting tear gassed for 3 months straight, it's a genuine struggle.

What's luxurious is you and I.
Alright then, question time: I've looked into Kobo for my wife, who predominantly reads books in Spanish.

Navigating the various offerings seems like a minefield of digital rights and lockouts. Where would I go to legally buy Spanish language books no matter where I am physically located in the world?
> now my private information isn't just seen by the government, it's seen by everybody.

Right, but that's why no reasonable congressman would want your information, because that would also make his/hers available just like yours. The result would be that sensitive personal information would be very unlikely to be collected.
Definitely don't eat your antique heirlooms.
I thought whole point of running K8S in AWS was to have infrastructure not tied to their offerings.

If you use something like that, why use K8S and not just use AWS services natively?
They tried striking a backroom deal first, with a 'and wouldn't it be nice if you gave this to other people as well'.

It didn't seem like any sort of legitimate offer - for one, the "deal" would be that Apple would host fortnite for free, review it for free, and make 0% on in-app purchases. Epic also didn't edit the letter properly and accidentally left an "Android" in rather than changing it to "iOS", so presumably they presented Google with the same offer.

Because then someone else can handle making sure I'm not getting virus filled software and it also increases the signal to noise ratio, especially on PS4/Switch. I don't want my PS4/Switch to be a general computing platform.
I'm likely looking at this from a narrow case but how does the Facebook SDK scenario related to the question you asked?

Did I misinterpret your original statement to mean how would the closure of Epic's Apple Developer account impact others (with their own valid Apple Developer accounts) from using their engine within an app they published to the App store?

I understood your question to be "why do I (an app developer) need an Apple Developer account?" A second reading and your response leads me to believe otherwise.
Interestingly, most comments are talking about the cache/tech capabilities and not the privacy concerns.

I mean the way it was shown is that WebBundles allow the author of that content to arbitrary hide and package content in such a way where you cannot filter specific content; so either you view a page with ads and trackers or you don't see anything at all.
> So-called "Binary Transparency" may eventually allow users to verify that a program they've been delivered is one that's available to the public, and not a specially-built version intended to attack just them. Binary transparency systems don't exist yet, but they're likely to work similarly to the successful Certificate Transparency logs via https://wicg.github.io/webpackage/draft-yasskin-http-origin-...

We are building a binary transparency system here: https://transparencylog.com

Having HTTP signed requests would be nice to prove that the origin server presented the contents.
The lack of ability to install other App Stores reduces fragmentation and potentially improves the overall user experience of the product.

If I wanted choice in App Stores I would buy an Android phone. I don't care about choice of App Stores and I prefer the consistency of a single, consistent, secure source of Apps. Therefore, I bought an iOS device.

Just because you can download and run software doesn't mean you have the legal right to use it. The right to use software is granted via an end user license agreement, and that right can be revoked.

In other words, it's a legal restriction, not a technical one.
Question: How does the AGPLv3 work when it's describing/programming hardware? I have a good idea how it works on software, but less than a good idea on hardware.
