Even the US enacted travel bans which - if they had followed up and kept working towards suppression of the virus - would have been a great start. Instead the US sacrificed it's gains to political games and now is seeing what happens.

The whistleblowers in China shouldn't have been suppressed. But there was plenty of notice early enough to act.

My pleasure! I love trying out stuff like this, especially in these days of trying to whiteboard remotely. As it is getting late, I may just make this a brief test right now.

A minor point to note is that the URL with the www does not work - you may want to fix this:

https://www.browserboard.com

Also I love this bit of humbleness:

> A pretty good online whiteboard

So on to the handwriting test. Yes! You are much closer to the Ziteboard experience. Pen input works very well on both the ThinkPad Yoga and the Note 8 and it renders my writing nicely.

You seem to be doing a similar kind of smoothing that Ziteboard does? When I write on Ziteboard I see a bit of angularity as I write, which gets smoothed out when I'm done. Yours seems to do this more in real time.

One thing I got confused on: trying it on the Note 8, I wanted to scroll the view to get some blank space to write on. I found the four headed arrow icon which did exactly what I wanted - I can now scroll the view with the pen or finger. But now I can't figure out how to get out of this mode and write again?

More later as I experiment with it...

I am sure that everything counts.

Scientists like to measure natural language against dementia probably because its easier to do then some other form of knowledge (like being good in multiple disciplines).

From the practical standpoint, learning more then 1 one language doesn't make any sense - practical value you get from it is next to 0 compared to for example learning medicine, electronics, IT, math etc.

Especially because it requires the same amount of time.
With the cloud and managed runtimes (or stuff like POSIX), I don't care one second what CPUs are running there (beyond endiness and using the right widths), I never wrote hand Assembly for such kind of deployments and the optimizer was good enough for our workloads.

Around Pentium 4 and Centrino, so somewhere around 2002 - 2003 ish.

The initial projection was that Intel could scale their transistor down indefinitely, we could somehow cool Pentium 4 effectively, and management think clock speed sells, so some day they could scale to 10Ghz CPU.

That was when they hit the TDP ceiling. Internally named as Thermal Wall by Intel CTO Patrick Gelsinger. Before Pentium 4 Intel saw the rise of Laptop computer where energy efficiency was the key. And Pentium-M was a side project from (cough) Patrick Gelsinger. Which ultimately saved Intel's Pentium 4 fiasco.

The market might have unlimited Dollar for performance. But it is still limited by TDP.

No. For a general purpose machine, especially for developers, you need the ability to access your files freely and to run any program. If that is no longer given, all developers and most users would drop the platform.
Also, it completely doesn't make sense as long as you allow virtualisation. Which Apple not only does, they even demoed this capabiltiy in the keynote.
Sure. Apple had the Sculley/Spindler/Amelio era and Microsoft had the Ballmer era. These things are recoverable if they get addressed in time. (Then there's the SGIs, Yahoos and SUNs of the world - coasting for years into oblivion; the Radioshack/A&P Grocery model. I don't think Intel is in that camp though.)
The actual power of the wealthy is vastly overestimated. What matters is the extent to which that power is exercised.

I don’t think this is true. None of the examples have lists containing non-string objects, but the documentation doesn’t seem to draw a distinction between lists and dictionaries wrt what can be placed in them.

(Both lists and dictionaries are initially described as only containing strings, and later this description is expanded to include nesting; this counterintuitive arrangement may explain the confusion.)

The US-UK extradition treaty doesn't need to be renegotiated. It just needs to be enforced. The treaty makes it very clear that Assange cannot be extradited:

granted if the competent authority of the Requested State determines that the request
was politically motivated.

The only question is whether the UK government will breach the treaty in order to please its American allies.

Obviously this is oversimplified because some of the trips needed to cross huge oceans, but from Papua New Guinea to Ethiopia is only ~12,000 km. If people with bananas move 10 km every year, they will cross that distance in "only" 1,200 years.

And some people cover more than 10 km in a single day.
> Can they be otherwise somehow incentivized to invest in their Communities rather than evade? And how big is the contribution here? Is it worth pursuing

I like this question. It makes me wonder what society would look like if we had micro community councils that operated this way, where residents “donated” parts of their wealth and those donations gave them some sort of stake, naming right, or voting power in community projects.

I wonder if we’d get the same sort of donations we get by wealthy families to get hospital wards named after them etc.

I suppose it requires a shift in what we value as humans, perhaps we could work toward a society where the amount you’ve given away gives you the most social credit or prestige, rather than how much you’ve amassed. Is it too naive and childish to think this sort of society is possible and could be an improvement over the current one?

> You are doing work for free, __they are risking their asses deploying what you wrote,___ you both care about quality.

Users of free and open source software don't risk much. They don't need to write it, they can just use it. When there are rivaling implementations for the same feature / concept, they can choose what they want to use. Or write their own implementation. Whatever is the right tradeoff of risk and timesaving for them, but timesaving will trump risk a lot and risk can be estimated through answering questions like "How established is this open source code?", "How big is the community?", "How much testing is there?", "Can I understand the code?"

If there is a bug in the OSS code one project uses and the customer notices, they can report it and someone else might even fix it. If no one does in the time they need it, they have to fork and do it by themself.

Yes, if the code is handling data and data is corrupted, that's some serious risk. By just choosing some more established persistence layer and having backups, this can probably be mitigated. If your data is important, maybe don't run the latest version but wait until bugfixes are released.

So I would urge developers who opensource their code to establish what their users can expect.

You each lob a bunch of antagonistic comments in my direction and somehow expect that you shouldn't have to deal with someone who's bothered in turn and who opts to drag you through your own tedium. You might find that surprising, but you shouldn't.

> unlikely to impress

It was a straightforward rundown of why it was unsound to push the argument you were pushing and your failure to acknowledge that, even after having already pointed it out once before. I truly do not give a goddamn about impressing you. (Although it'd be nice if you reflected on how annoying it has been to carry out this conversation in this way.) This will be my last reply.

> The specific comment I replied to (not the main discussion topic as you assumed)

As _I_ assumed? Who's setting the stage for discourse? It's not you.

> you could politely respond with

Oh, gee. My apologies for inconveniencing you while you're barraging me with a thousand hypothetical tangents that could be true instead of demonstrating the "common sense and ordinary charity"[1] of a "good faith correspondent".

> it's how informal language works

And during the barrage, where your justification for it focuses on the particular way that I worded a restatement of the premise n comments deep, but where I failed to sufficiently qualify it by exhaustively restating all the constraints to affirm that they are, in fact, relevant and in play, you think you're in a position to hand out lessons about "how informal language works". Great.

> You hand-waved vaguely about "Netscape" and "lessons"

Nope. That comes from the comment where I referenced Netscape's triage process for the very first time. It's called an allusion at that point—I didn't make a claim about it, get pushback on it from you, and then handwave it away. And if at that point you want more detail about the thing alluded to, then, yeah, you can ask for it, but if you go on to be as discourteous as to derail with another annoying strawman—after having already been called on it once—then you shouldn't expect me to respond as if I'm dealing with anything other than a bad faith correspondent wasting my energy with the level of tedium you're dragging me into. So, given that, and given how excruciating this has been, I'm not going to deliver those details, nor wrap it in a bow.

Here's some stuff that you can Google if you actually do give a shit about any of this and weren't just looking for some avenue to throw away time as part of a vaguely social activity:

Hi everyone!

Mi name is Florian - UX Designer, Web developer and Hardwareguy - and I stumbled upon a problem at work and tried to find a solution for that:

At work we are using a shared coffeemachine with a coffee tally sheet to track who is drinking coffee. One of my colleagues is buying the coffee and we are paying him each month. He is counting the coffee's per person, sending them an email and often telling them paying strange amounts of money (5.75€ or so).

We thought we can do that better, so I build a simple device that tracks the consumption through our Company ID card. Every user gets notified when the consumption is reaching a predefined threshold (like 5€) to pay the person that's buying the coffee (capsules in our case). It is cloud connected for easy access and can be extended by additional terminals too.

Our department was quite happy with it and other departments requested this solution after they saw our small gadget too. :)

In the future I plan to bring some fun and useful features to the coffee pal like: - Use your fingerprint instead your company ID Card - Coffee subscription: Get your favourite coffee automatically per mail, based on your consumption - Newsletter about your coffeeconsumption - Extend for tea, snacks and more - Connectivity through 3G for hassle-free setup. - and a lot more ;)

Now my question: Do you think such a solution could be nice for your workplace too? I know that a lot of companies are providing coffee for free, but at least in Europe a lot of my friends told me about the same problem at work.

If you are interested in this solution I would be very happy if you show your interest at the bottom of the page. I‘m curious if other people would need such a solution too.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)
>Apple had the Sculley/Spindler/Amelio era and Microsoft had the Ballmer era

I would actually argue those two had strategy problem rather than execution. And those two had comparatively little politics / power play involved.

Intel has both, and politics.
This for me. And deciding a given day is only for work. I shower then read while the two brain enhancers kick in. At some point I feel impatient to work, and I am off!

Being able to dedicate whole days is a luxury. But in reality most days I get a lot done I will eventually run out of steam with great feelings from accomplishment.

Then I am often motivated to do the simpler tasks I normally avoid.

That may be true if you're living in a country where English is the main language, otherwise adding English has a lot of practical value.

The Constitution binds the US government in all cases. It does not cease to apply when the US government deals with foreigners. If the Constitution places an unqualified restriction on the US government, that restriction applies in all circumstances. The free speech clause does not have any qualification about only applying inside the borders of the US or to citizens.

It would be absurd for the US government to claim that Assange is bound by US law, and can therefore be charged under US statutes, but that the Constitution does not apply to him.

> one usually wants a lightweight commenting server ... [A few] commenting engines listed on the page are provided by heavy applications

A small ambiguity: There's a difference between being light weight client side, in the browser — versus server side:

1) End users notice the client side in-the-browser performance & light-weighted-ness. Whilst 2) the one who notices app server light-ness is the static site owner, who can save some $ each month.

However the comparisons page doesn't clarify that it apparently has in mind application server light / heaviness (and not browser-side).

No. In backwater countries like Poland English is caught at school, but people don't speak or write in it. Many still prefer polish-language media because LACK CONFIDENCE in their english. It typically goes like "Oh, I had English 4 years ago at school, I'm not that good". You use English skills to read a label on a shampoo or an instruction manual. English is not spoken or even written regularly. Before the pandemic I even played board games with lots of people younger than me, largely university students, and there's visible hesitation to use an untranslated game.

There is some evidence that Poland was spared from XIII black plague, and - so far - relatively unaffected - by the covid19 pandemic - because it lies off the main transport and travel routes.
