A bed that has multi positions, like a hospital bed, raise the feet, raise the head. I objected when my wife said it would be good for us. I have sinus issues so I could not argue too much. We purchased 2 twins since I knew we would never want the same setting, at the same time. OMG I change the setting at least once a day, usually twice. We use the kind with a motor. When I get a sinus issue, it is so easy to prop my chest and head up. Expensive but well worth it.
I never understand why people rave about Dyson vacuums. I had one of their mid-range ball uprights, my mother in law has a handheld one. They're not lightweight, but not built solidly. They lose suction over time and need taking apart beyond what the manufacturer intended to clean them properly to attempt to restore their original power, worrying me every time that their various tiny crappy plastic clips will snap off and render the whole device useless. I got fed up of mine and bought a Miele, and it is better in absolutely every way.
Thank you for the link, I was not aware of that problem. I suspected something UEFI related.
The title is click-bait. This has been known for several years[1], the technique has little practical value, and the assertion that you can learn from no data is completely false and misleading. The training data was compressed to a few examples. To the journalist: it's OK not to maximize for click-bait when you write an article.

This is a rewrite of the article at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/10/17/sweden-considers... . Which they link to, so I'm not saying anything new here.

But because of the two degrees of separation, it seems to have lost something. I suggest "Sweden is tightening it's light-lockdown strategy ... " as a more accurate description.

I say this because I was confused. It's titled "no-lockdown strategy", but as the article points out, the end result of these new changes is not lockdown, so it would still be a "no-lockdown strategy" - using the Business Insider's definition.

However, Sweden has had restrictions. Public events with 50 or more people were cancelled, many schools went to distance learning, and more. See https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/the-public-health-agency... for the FAQ in English, listing many of the restrictions.

For example, the BI article says:

> It will give local authorities the power to strongly recommend people to avoid busy public places like shopping centers, museums, gyms, concerts, and sports matches. Swedes may also be asked to avoid public transport and contact with the elderly and vulnerable.

But we (I live in Sweden) have that already. School sports venues, for example, hosted games without audiences. The signs at the bus stops and train stations ask to avoid non-essential public transport. Places cap the number of people allowed.

The source article in The Telegraph is more accurate with "It's more of a lockdown situation - but a local lockdown" as it acknowledges that there has been a lockdown, defined as a restriction in allowed activities.
That's _your_ definition which may have pretty much nothing to do with how other people see it. We won't be able to have a clear conversation about privacy until every person is on the game page about that.

Until you understand that, you'll continue to be "surprised" when people say they care about privacy but not the pet peeve you have.
Great time to buy real estate in cities.
Another shameless plug, my girlfriend and I created an online multiplayer game during the first lockdown. The game was inspired by an instagram filter that was trending at the time. We've had over 12k unique users so far.

The game was made in unity. The service used for the multiplayer portion is called photon.
> if you close your borders, don't produce or import anything globally.

We're producing and exporting and importing just fine thank you.

Borders are closed to casual visitors, not goods.

Yup, that can (and just has) create opportunities for the virus to enter.

But that is a risk that can and is being managed.
Thermapen food thermometer. Best purchase I've made since 2015. Cooking is less stressful, pour over coffee comes out perfectly, less food waste and/or dissatisfaction.
The fediverse has the beginnings of (federated) events - and associated software. There is great desire for this functionality all around. Not sure if @Gargron (the creator and main contributor of Mastodon) will be implementing this on his Mastodon software or if he'll incorporate what others accomplish around the standard/protocol (also, not sure if ActiviyPub does or does not include events already).

Here are some fediverse platforms that are already making forays into events (which will/should eventually be used by platforms such as Mastodon, Pleroma, etc.):

It's not my field, but non-commercial has been - to my knowledge - addressed multiple times in USA copyright caselaw. I can't see why that definition wouldn't apply.

FWIW all the supposed complex questions they ask are clear cut. Advertising on a website makes it commercial, using works in a presentation at work makes it commercial, etc., they're all clearly commercial.

A harder question might be "what if I'm not charging and am giving files away" that becomes commercial if it substantially inhibits commercial activities, for example (according to copyright caselaw I've read).

But that doesn't matter that much, was the guy making $10 a month from adsense using your work commercially (legally, yes): it doesn't matter, why bother to sue them (actual damages is going to be tiny). NC is for the company advertising with your work, or ripping off your work, etc..

NC doesn't seem that hard to define but in any situation where it would be worth you suing for tortuous infringement then it's going to be very clear -- unless someone made a lot of money, or you lost a lot of money, then ...
"Upgrade packs" might be already possible using transformer adapters, i.e. tiny networks trained on customized data plugged into a large fixed pretrained transformer, providing whatever custom functionality you require.

The US media's coverage of Covid-19 outside the US mostly seems to be focused on pushing the narrative that the US is uniquely failing at dealing with it due to Trump. Most of the time they don't actually lie to do this, but the facts they include are very selectively chosen. So for example Boris Johnson's Covid infection got a lot of attention since he's seen as a kind of Trump analogue, but I don't think others did so much.

(There was a really... interesting progression in the NYT's coverage of the Covid-19 outbreak in Spain where they downplayed it as obviously less severe than say Florida, omitting the already much worse trajectory it was on, then when it finally and inevitably became too bad to ignore they turned that whole thing into an allegory for Trump's failings too.)
Breville BOV800XL toaster oven. The apartment I had didn't come with any kind of oven. That was 10 years ago. I still use it everyday and it's almost flawless. I use it over any oven I get with rentals I live in now. It keeps temperature way better and heats up incredibly fast compared to any gas or electric oven I've used. I don't even have to wait for it to warm up, I just throw stuff in and it works out.

Double-walled cups/glasses/containers. I really like Bodum's double walled glasses and so does my partner. They really transform the way you drink things - allowing you to go much slower. I also use double-walled cups that have a top to them like those 30oz RTIC Tumblers and with a straw. This allows for carbonated beverages to last way longer than in an open container and they stay cool for a really long time. It's not uncommon for me to come back after 8+ hours and there still be a lot of ice in the cup. We also have other double-walled containers like Hydroflasks and what not too.

High performance cordless drills/impacts. I know it seems a bit obvious but get the best set you can and it'll do you wonders for speed. I use powered ratchets and everything and jobs just go so much quicker now. I used to only use hand tools for everything and now everything is a joke. Rusted old exhaust bolts don't need penetrating oil or anything - everything just flies off. It's just incredible. They're not a full replacement for hand tools but a great supplement.

High(er) quality headphones. I started with Sennheiser HD555s some years back and they were great. In fact, I'd say that level of jump is all you really need. Everything after has incredible diminishing returns. Comfort is really key - as I had headphones that physically would hurt after 30 minutes to an hour. So, get ones that fit you well or you can put different earpads on that will help. Whatever you need.

Better fitting and looking clothes. I used a resource like Ashley Weston for guidance. You'll have to figure out who has guidance that best fits your own taste but she worked for me a bit.

Banks don’t lend out money from central banks. Never have.

Banks can only store reserves in accounts at the central bank because only banks can have such accounts.

What they get is money from the central bank in interest for holding those reserves and that effectively subsides lending a bit - at least until the interest rate drops so low that people are tempted to draw out cash

Web Histories
SO has helped me to ask questions well. It doesn't always prevent the patronizing, snippy slaps, but helps a lot.

I've asked almost twice as many questions on SO as I've answered. It's a valuable resource to me, and I appreciate it.

I do try to give back, and usually try to paraphrase questions that I'm not sure about, like "If you are trying to get X working, then here's how I did it." I've learned to try to remove as many "you"s as possible, and keep it focused on my experience and point of view, qualifying it as such. It does, sometimes lead to people accusing me of "Making it all about you," but it also removes elements of judgment.

There's no problem in listing both. The point is that a high level feature list comparison wouldn't have necessarily helped here.

Having lists of alternative libraries to solve a particular problem is great. It is valuable on its own. But it doesn't really fix the nuance that I'm focusing on here in this example. And my general claim is that this sort of nuance is a fairly common problem that leads to unnecessary dependencies.
Honestly long overdue in my opinion. I've always thought of access to payment systems the same way as I think of clean drinking water. it's basic infrastructure and it should be available to everyone at as little cost as possible, both literal cost and hassle.

When I moved to the UK and healthcare basically worked by registering with a GP and that was it and I didn't have to deal with insurance any more it was extremely pleasant. I just want the same thing for payments tbh, just give me digital Euros, accepted everywhere and transfer it instantly between people.

Usually the cause that requires high sampling is vibration. But that can be condensed with FFT stuff easily.

Honestly from working in plastics and sensor design for 15 years it usually boils down to engineers not willing to let go of information because they envisage potential future issues. Its easier to imagine problems in a meeting than to imagine and deliver solutions upfront before the problem ever happens. Also, a lack of care for the economics of doing such sampling.

That's not to say there is an easy fix. These same people are the ultimate end customer who have the final word on such engineering environments.
> A good wardrobe. Started getting compliments on how I dress all the time. I never cared about this very much, and that made me unaware that other people did care.

Any advice for someone that doesn’t care about this? I’m currently in this boat - I dress “fine” in the sense that it’s functional but is otherwise pretty plain and boring. Every time I try to improve on this I give up after being overwhelmed by the paradox of choice.
Well, I'm sure nothing will be societally objectionable about this!

uBlock currently has ~75,000 rules. That list isn't getting smaller, so which 50% of the rules would you cut?

In a few years, which 2/3 of the rules would you cut?

How is this a win for consumers? How have they addressed those major concerns?

Edit: That was stock, I just added a few lists and passed 100,000 network filter rules. Please explain to me slowly, as if I were a child, how a static limit of 30,000 rules is a bigger number than 100,000, and why my computer with 128GB of RAM memory can't possibly support more than 30,000 rules?
My question is whether the five minute recording will be saved on your console or their server. If they can only access your recording when you opt to send it, it seems pretty tolerable.
In the Netherlands the highway speed limit is now 100km/h to lower CO2 and N emissions. So it would do perfectly fine here.
operator*() and operator->() on an empty std::optional is Undefined Behavior. This is mind-boggling. It defeats the whole purpose of using a wrapper type to enforce bulletproof error checking. It's the worst of both worlds: you have to use a cumbersome type, and it still fails like a nullable pointer.
Not a front end person but I guess it depends on how easy it is to bootstrap a react/ts app.

This seems to be straightforward. One input and then fetch the user info from the gh api. It seems it’s public so you don’t even need to care about auth. ie https://api.github.com/users/geoah

The remaining time I guess you spend it on how you structure and abstract your code to make for interesting conversations during the review.

AirPods Pro work way better for sleep due to low profile (mostly just using single one tho), but I've used big cans too. They do get damaged rather quickly (pads compress, drivers crackly all the time) and not comfy.
Fair enough on most of those points, but I wouldn't blame democrats on the slow response. It just so happens that coastal urban centers are blue and were hit earlier and harder than anyone else.

The gravest political failures in regards to the pandemic have been the administration and a few of its most ardent political supporters. (Many republican governors have acted in good faith to protect their state). And that failure was not so much a failure to act soon enough, but a failure to listen to medical and scientific leadership and a propensity to meddle in the public health structure for political reasons.

Getting AWS to release code on GitHub? That was me. Allowing AWS developers to communicate with people on Stack Overflow? Me. The creation of the `awslabs` GitHub org? Me. The core concepts behind AWS Lambda? Me. SDK features like _waiters_? Me. Publicly sharing the internal service models so that people could built new tools for AWS? Me.

Me, fighting against the internal Amazon culture tooth-and-nail to try to get them to do things that were in the best interests of AWS customers. Some of the most brilliant and customer-centric people I've ever worked with got ran out of there by management (well, one particular engineering director) after 18-24 months.

All the fighting led to them trying to "manage me out" (making my life a living hell, hoping to make me quit), so I decided to stay for a full 4 years in order to vest every ounce of my stock grants, before walking away in 2014 (six months before AWS released "Lambda").

If things are better there now, that's really great for the people who work there. But it was a hell-scape for me to try to bring AWS into the modern age for open-source software in such a backwards-ass internal culture.
Android App Which Shows Details about Covid19 Exposures (Requires Root)
If you are talking about the instant, that kind of makes sense.

However, there is also a period of time, written as 12:00 PM, which lasts for one minute, until 12:01 PM. This period of time is entirely within the afternoon, so writing it as 12:00 PM makes plenty of sense. This period of time is not "noon", although that is when the period starts.

A digital clock, for example, shows the current period, and not an instant.

If you want to refer to the instant, you can use the words noon and midnight.
Of all the distros why would I try that one? I never even heard of it before.

Well, there are 2 models of SW development you can use here:

1) 30 top notch engineers to build the MVP and then iterate.

2) 300 engineers - the first 100 to step all over each other trying to build an app and the remaining 200 engineers fixing the bugs from the first 100.
This. It's surprising how much it helps with job stress and depression. I can leave the house, get on the bike, come up with a solution in my head while enjoying the wind then come back repaired.
The approach appears similar to model distillation, performed on the input data instead of on the weights. Model distillation scales well in classification but less well in generation.
Plenty of companies adapt the pronunciation of brands according to different markets or changing fashions.

Porsche has one syllable in Britain, Nissan has a short "i" in Britain but a long one in the USA, Skoda has lost its Š, etc.
I agree.

my network is a wrt1900acs + 2 mikrotik rb2011 switches, all running openwrt. I also have an mikrotik rb750gl somewhere.

I started out with vanilla openwrt, but over time I ended up customizing and building everything myself.

In the beginning I used the gui, but now I skip it and just edit the config files directly via emacs+tramp.

I have a few vlans - one that can get out directly, one that can get out through a proxy, and one that can't really get out.

I've been considering moving to a firewall box + separate wifi box.

I've also been thinking it might be cool to do 802.1x and see if I can get machines to sign in and get put on their vlan automatically.

The zeptosecond, the shortest unit of time ever measured
> Healthcare costs and waste are not a technology problem. They are a policy and incentives problem.

This statement is so broad that it cannot be true and here is an obivous counter example: A high percentage of doctor visits (think 4/5) does not involve physical checkups and could be done remotely - independent of policy and incentives.

Identifying these 4/5 (say) patients is a trillion dollar technology problem that is currently being approached from many different angles: symptom checker and triage, telemedicine and online doctor appointments, etc.

Notable teams working on it are ada and Babylon, among many others.

I just picked the first one as an example of how seriously we should take your words at.

Now you start going on a tangent with meta-analysis of statistical data, comparing Sweden with America with no appreciation of the difference in the culture, lifestyle and handling of the coronavirus and then attribute their relatively good performance just to the lack of a mask mandate?

At least I'm glad that the press article included the actual images. Oftentimes we have to track the original paper to see that kind of thing.
Hi Jay, that wasn't my intent. Thanks for clarifying your scoped comment. Your post is very interesting. However, I believe the core point regarding the potential commercial questionability of embarking on EE design work with a processor part-centric mentality still stands. As you point out, it is sometimes justified. Few people outside of Asia have competent "in-house EE talent" idling in their organization.
Anger is the emotion that most activates you and spurs you to action [1]

If someone steals from you, you are victim of robbery. If someone rapes you, you are victim of rape. If your collegues assume you are not skilled cause something about your look, you are victim of bias. If your partner is verbaly abusing you, you are victim of that.

Thinking you are victim in those situations is using right words instead of building taboos.

The moment you admit yourself you was victim of something, you can act on it. If you don't, you end up like one of those victims that will ratilnalize their abusers behavior.
There is no shortage of women who instead of admitting they are victims and admitting partner is abuser, just don't want to be those girls. And they will excuse and rationalize and keep appearances.
