It's true, but the SLU campus has been in the works for most of a decade. There's a really long trailing indicator on new construction, and few if any big employers are laying down plans for new downtown offices starting in 2020.

Maybe it's not 100% of the goal, but I'm very confident that legal jurisdiction hedging (w/ the ability to move staff at less-than-decade notice) is a big part of splitting offices across SLU and Kirkland.
I suspect a one off external gift is not going to get many long term committed maintainers. The two just require such different motivations and reasons for doing the activity. But I may be wrong.
We haven't solved that underlying problem yet, and the problem isn't insurance. It's that many kinds of actor have motivations to misuse individual, detailed health data in ways that can be seriously harmful to the individual.

I don't know if there's a way to solve that problem, even in principle. It seems like an intrinsic conflict of interest thing.

Until that's solved, that will remain a major and rational reason why people care about health data privacy.

There's no point saying "ignore health data privacy and fix the real problem" until people can fix the real problem. Which as I've said, might not be possible even in principle.

Meanwhile, the thing people can do for themselve is focus on privacy of their healthcare records and demanding that be maintained. Institutions and companies can incrementally develop improvements to aggregating data that don't simply discard that privacy, like differential privacy for smart data aggregation, and zero-knowledge systems like the Google/Apple coronavirus alert system.

Perhaps eventually we'll and up with a way to aggregate health data in ways that are more helpful for diagnostics and population-level understanding of diseases, while safeguarding individuals from harmful consequences.
Tell that to my plumber. The plumbers with nice automated systems still use people to pressure you. And you're paying for those systems and people in your bill. One of them quoted me $2500 for 2 faucets. The local dude did it next day for $350. Those ads at football games and fancy systems and trucks don't provide revenue or better service. So I'll deal with the crazy dude who's likely cutting a wall or soldering something talking to me on bluetooth.

Also with a lot of these people, they can't really schedule, stuff is just a queue. This dude is definitely a queue.
You don't have to be an isolated island to pull this off.

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. We've bubbled with three surrounding provinces (~2.5 million people) and are in basically the same boat as NZ. We've had < 10 known cases since June IIRC, often with < 5. We're currently at two known cases.

We are NOT an island nation but have taken one hard line measure that has been effective: a 14 day quarantine when you come here from anywhere outside the four-province bubble

We also have a largely compliant population when it comes to social distancing and masking in public indoor places.

We also have the benefit of being a discretionary trip for most people who visit - there isn't a ton of travel in and out of the main cities compared with e.g. Toronto or Vancouver.

But life is pretty much back to normal. Restaurants + bars buzzing (at 50% capacity), retail open, no lockdown, etc.

Apple has sold tens of millions of Apple TVs. Apple doesn’t break out the revenue in their earnings reports but they have definitely made billions in revenue from the business. With that large install base, Apple has growing power to promote services in the video streaming market which is worth hundreds of billions. The more power Apple has here, the greater their ability to extract a cut from streaming service revenue as platform owner. This is relevant to Google as a player in the video streaming market, who also owns platforms that compete with Apple’s. It would be stupid for Google to not put up a fight in this market.
Those are tricky edge cases for us to solve, yes, but that's our job, not yours. :)
This is what the page looks like on my computer: https://i.imgur.com/FX3o2EI.png. I wouldn't call it "illegible" but it's certainly unpleasant to read.
Fair enough. Skip to 14.33.050.A and read just that. It's written like a code specification. All the variables have values either defined there or trivially lookup-able.

I'll copy it for you with constant params filled in:

max(($0.32×minutes_with_passenger)/0.492 + ($0.83×miles_with_passenger)/0.622),$5)

I calculated this for my last Uber ride (which was $18.47) and it was $24.84 instead so with a 25% margin that makes it $33.12. I think I would skip that ride and have done something else. For my last Lyft ride it cost $34.85 - $5.29 for Lyft Pink. I was prepared to do the $34.85. The calculated amount is $34.56 which with the 25% margin is $46.08. I know that ride so I would have brought my bike with me and taken BART that time. This is going to make going to the club a bit more expensive for me now if they do the same in SF. I'll probably suck it up on nights out but I'll probably drive for everything else.

Important note: Unlike the big argument everyone is having in the comments, you can't actually get paid for idle time right now. The way it works is that idle time gets loaded into calculations of those two factors which are currently 0.492 and 0.622.

So if you want to game those figures you need to create more idle time but you'll only be able to take advantage of it next year (when they're updated).
As soon as you want a special order, phone for food is the quickest way to order. In some of my local resturants I skip the service fee the website adds, too, that way.
I assume you mean this because I can't find any mention in the article about 2nd highest prio rules:

"How it leaks
WSL2 uses Hyper-V virtual networking and therein lies the problem. The Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter passes traffic to and from guests without letting the host’s firewall inspect the packets in the same way normal packets are inspected. The forwarded (NATed) packets are seen in the lower layers of WFP (OSI layer 2) as Ethernet frames only. This type of leak can happen to any guest running under Windows Sandbox or Docker as well if they are configured to use Hyper-V for networking."

That is how virtual machines are supposed to work. Hyper-V is a virtualisation thing. Whatever Mullvad is doing is immaterial - they are only worrying about the host. If you use full on virty stuff, you need to treat each VM as a VM, not a container.
The problem is that there has to be a better alternative, and it has to be better for the businesses implementing it, and the switching cost must be low.
Surely the incoming rates on a toll free number are higher than the outgoing rates for a regular call. I wish the call costs were large enough to move the needle - eg encourage the company to hire one or two more reps, which would drastically reduce the queue. Alas.

Besides the obvious business incentives (eg Comcast wants to make their phone experience as bad as possible), I'd guess the main obstacle holding this feature back is the specific PBX system a business is running on.

Our eldest would just be starting kindergarten so our first hand experience is limited, but we have connected with tons of people that homeschool and unschool and had planned to do this even pre-Covid. We move a lot and wanted to have a more hands-on approach to teaching our kids so we started with homeschool research but unschooling has seemed like a far better fit. We’ve read a lot, my wife far more than me. It has been amazing hearing from people with older kids who, thanks to Covid, have been forced to try home learning and now aren’t going back. Several people we know have started unschooling kids older than ours and have seen a dramatic improvement in their kids’ confidence and interest in exploring new things.

This list of resources is pretty great: https://livingjoyfully.ca/resources/

The book Free to Learn and the John Holt books listed are excellent starting points.

We would also highly recommend Pam Laricchia’s books and podcasts.
My experience with investing tells me that you will never get a good investment at a fair value, you always have to pay a premium for it. There is a pretty consistent pattern in my stock portfolio. The stocks that I overpaid for ended up being great investments while the stocks that I thought I was getting a deal on ended up being a disaster of an investment.

Why? Making a phone call removes middlemen from the process.

When I order food over the phone, the only people who need to take a cut of the transaction are the restaurant and maybe the credit card company if I don't pay cash. I can also be confident that my tips are going to the person whose hand I place them in.

When I order online, there are umpteen different companies taking my data and the restaurant's money, and they often obscure where fees and tips go. To me, it seems absurd to involve so many parties in such a simple transaction.

The experience is also usually fungible. Talking to someone doesn't take longer or introduce more error in my experience, so I usually prefer it because there are less externalities and fewer complexities.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
I hope this google assistant will start talking to them while it waits for you to notice the notification, essentially putting them on hold until you answer.

Step 1: Set up a website offering these shirts for $5 + S&H at some domain that seems like it's for DO outreach work.

Step 4: Profit a small/moderate amount and have a repo you're the primary dev on that looks really attractive as a proof of work, resourcefulness, and willingness to ignore ethical questions to a lot of Silicon Valley startups.

Exactly. And without having made things, shared and built an audience, he would have been broadcasting into a void. Then there "influencer" would have never been part of the equation.

It appears that Google TV is a centralized chromecast database. Normally with chromecast if you want to stream HBO, you need the HBO app which supports chromecast. If you want to stream netflix, you need the netflix app which supports chromecast. With Google TV, you link your account into it and then you just go to one app to find all of your streams.
It exists, but the meaning is implementation defined.

>We are. Free people that consent to laws in the interest of the public good. Ideally anyway.

Not necessarily. Optimizing the for the public good is a social utilitarian argument[1]. Absolute utilitarian is incompatible with personal freedom and justice, so most people put limits on it.

Reasonable and moral people can differ on where this limit should be.

That is only true for projects where you need to deploy. In that case, yeah, you of course can only close the bug once you fixed production. But for normal software development, you can fix the bug in the software and you can update the bug tracker, and then push everything once you're back online.

For example, on a flight, I can look at the bug tracker (since it's part of the clone), pick a bug I want to work on, create a few commits to fix it, then update that bug (set it to closed, reference the commits that fixed it), and then upload it all when the plane landed again.

It is fairly common nowadays to run Linux as one task on an RTOS, and have other tasks manage the CAN controller and other devices that need a low latency response. Or, just to use a coprocessor for low-latency work, as is commonly done to manage wifi.

Routing gdb stub traffic through a hosted Linux to an RTOS task or coprocessor is not an elementary exercise, but is something an engineering student might be expected to implement, even as just part of the real project.
Alot of the cases recently from california are from colleges starting classes. Cases are spiking at the college and instead of closing the college or forcing it to go fully remote the entire county suffers by having its businesses forcibly closed. Or take Lompac[1], a huge outbreak at the prison there caused santa barbara county to possibly enter a restrictive tier(even though the prisoners have no involvement in the community). Also the wording of the level of restriction changed from phases(1,2,3,4) to colored 'tiers' with no explanation. If that is not the picture of dysfunction I don't know what is.

> Spain response is probably one of the worst in the world,

I don't think so. This problem is not monolithic. Response is just one factor but not the only, structural factors are other.

An example on structural factors is the population size. Biggest countries will have a higher absolute mortality (more deaths) than smaller ones for example. Just because they had a bigger pool of people vulnerable.

Small ones, on the other hand, could end having a much higher relative mortality.

Is unclear at this point who types of factors have more weight here, but all the hot spots in the first part of the first wave share several common denominators. All except one, and they are structural ones.
The onus is on the proposer. C is simple and should stay that way. If someone is proposing C needs to be altered (which is about the most conservative language there is when it comes to adopting features) then that person should have good arguments as to why there's no other way. Otherwise it belongs in C++. If whipping up a few lines of asm for my local architecture solves the problem, then that weakens the proposal.

Maybe instead the C language committee should be focusing on standardizing the RMS notation for the asm() keyword which makes this epic hack possible. https://gist.github.com/jart/fe8d104ef93149b5ba9b72912820282...

> they have to place a second outgoing call which may have different charge rates than the incoming call did.

It's probably a wash: their outgoing call to you costs as much or less per minute than their toll-free incoming lines. At least in North America where Calling-Party-Pays isn't really a thing.

In cellular plans that don't include long distance calling, it could cost you more to receive a call when you're out of your home area, while the same toll-free call is (usually) never long distance.

> somewhat common feature of customer service phone systems to have a way to do callbacks

Maybe on the sales side, but on the service side, many vendors (particularly b2c) prefer that you give up entirely and never call them ever again.

Just to set the record straight, here's why I mentioned it:

I like her writing style. She writes in a pithy vernacular that belies her educational credentials.

She writes like a cranky old man (takes one to know one). I think we need more writing like that, as opposed to the usual buzzword bouillabaisse that makes up a significant chunk of the tech WordSphere.

When someone writes like that, it can be easy to dismiss (I know this). I didn't know about her, or her creds, and was pleasantly surprised, when I read them, so I figured I'd share my pleasure and surprise.

I encourage highly-skilled, -experienced, -educated, -whatever folks to write in an accessible fashion; preferably, with warmth, humor and approachability. The world needs as much of that as possible.

I could really care less whether or not she is a woman. It probably means a lot more to her, than it does to me. I enjoyed her work, and my enjoyment was improved, when I learned her background, and expressed my pleasure.

I mean, why the heck do we always have to find things wrong with everything? Can't we just say "This is cool. I'd like to hold it up as an example of what I like."?
> I actually don't recall ever seeing a human do dishes that way except on TV.

I have an unusual interest in this topic. I grew up in the UK, and that's just how people do the dishes. Or at least, the people in my orbit. So when I see that on TV, it's completely normal.

But, I now live in Mexico and everybody uses some variation of your method (again, everybody with a "people I've observed washing the dishes" qualifier). I find it completely bizarre.
Yeah, I'm just running `fossil server --scgi` in a chroot and then use nginx for TLS.

What's the argument that Sweden will experience one, given that there is no reason to believe a phase change in Sweden (or a change in circumstances, like measures in other places cause), other than that other countries experienced ones? It goes both ways.

Once the terminfo files are installed, unless the target system has restored from a backup or something, you can just revert to using plain ssh.

Or you could lobby your sysadmins to update terminfo past version 20181017 and use 'term kitty' in your config. It's too bad the people involved can't agree on using either "xterm-kitty" (Kitty author's preference) or "kitty" (ncurses maintainer's preference) for the TERM value.

This occurred to me after looking at the Wikipedia article [1], and seeing the different "versions" and the rationale about not leaking data in the ID.

In general, if you want to encode info in your IDs, you can do that. Just make sure you want to do that, and that you don't run out of entropy.

I view random UUIDs as a silver-bullet type solution to assigning IDs, without overlap. (8 bytes should be enough to just assign them at random)
