Yep, time to invest in zoom too. I assume at some stage people will need to make more video calls.
It sounds like this is a (very common) mix up of copyright and plagiarism.

Whenever I've talked about Creative Commons with artists, their most frequent concern is about others passing off work as their own. It's a widespread conflation, but thankfully it's easy to sort out; for example, The Canterbury Tales was written before copyright existed, but that doesn't mean I can claim it as my own work; that would be fraud (specifically: plagiarism).

Sublime Merge, works on Windows/Linux/macOS. Its free unless you want the dark theme (easy to fix in a hex editor though I just bought a license I guess its a bit steep price for some people).

On Windows, I used WinMerge a long time ago. Not sure how it is now, and its not available on macOS.
The difference here is that you have thousands of listeners, and some of them are recording your music to sample in their #1 album.

Honestly, the whole faffing around with the name leaves me with a very bad taste in my mouth.

Anu was at least pronounceable without doing a few double takes.

Quite likely there will be SBCs in a few months with that SoC. Likely in the first quarter of 2021.
Sadly, because adoption by large companies requires permissive licenses these days, or maybe just developers think so, everything is MIT license these days.

Sometimes I think adherence to the open source has pushed hobbyist community backwards. Source available for hobbyists and paid for commercial use is no worse than GPL (GPL gets violated as much).
At the end of the article it says that the rename (to Anu) has been reverted. The project is called Pijul again.

They have only done phase 1/2 trials and this one is phase 3.

Also, people trust US/EU research more. They have not been very forthcoming with data. The data that has been made available has been lacking in detail or has patterns that indicate either fabrication or sloppiness.

Both countries appear to be moivated by domestic and geopolitical political purposes. The US has also being doing that, but the medical establishment and regulatory bodies in the US are seen to be more independent of government than in China or Russia. Also, this is a German result, and people trust Germany more.
There literally aren’t going to be able to make that many doses, so no.
The article explains why bans may be preferable to market-based solutions in this case. The gist is that it's easier to enforce a ban ("nobody is allowed to fish here until 2022! get out!") than any kind of pricing mechanism ("let's see, yesterday a random Chinese trawler came in and picked up, I guess, 4 tons of mackerel, so add that to the week's total and..."), and many of the relevant countries with depleted fisheries may not even have the regulatory capacity for the latter.
Yes, I've been in biotechs that had 100s of these freezers in a room.
The Bell study sounds similar to research John Seeley Brown references from Xerox, in The Social Life of Information (2000), particularly chapters 4 & 5 discussing research of Julian Orr.

Xerox repair techs' secret weapon was the morning pre-dispatch coffee session, where war stories were swapped.

A similar later reference noted information transfer (or lack) between techs and phone operators --- physically separating the two cut down on the operators' knowledge and effectiveness.
The virus is (heavily) mutating folks.
Heavy mutations likely related to recombination with rhino-viruses.
This vaccine will likely be outdated when generally available.
Coronaviruses like SARS-COV-2 mutate relatively slowly and minimally compared to others. So mutation isn't expected to be a huge concern, unlike say influenza which mutates relatively rapidly and requires an annual tweak to the vaccines.

What's more, any new strains we do see spreading more widely will do so because their mutations confer a competitive advantage. In practice that usually means more drift towards higher infectiousness but less severe symptoms - the same mechanisms that have left us with 4 other endemic but mild common cold coroanviruses.

The new SARS-COV-2 vaccines may be a useful tool to get us over this hump where the virus is still novel to a large proportion of the population, but are unlikely to be required indefinitely.
The solution needs to be cultural, not legal.

The culture change needs to come bottom up within the company.

Employees in those companies need to advocate for active contribution in open-source, not just in a parasitic form.

This can come in many forms, building groups/guilds to advocate open source, mentioning it in one-to-one, setting expectations around open-source in job interviews, and requesting time and money to contributing to open source.

People need to stand up and say "this is not okay", and stand up for what they believe in.

The only way things will change is if the cost of contributing to open source is lesser than the cost of losing talent because of it.
> but as far as we know immunity to any of them is immunity to all of them.

OK. The longevity of the immunity is also an issue perhaps; at least they have written articles about people becoming re-infected; so even the people who do become immune may not stay that way forever...

Hey I got decent aluminum foil hats I can sell you for $500/each. They are the only way to protect against deep state mind control rays :)
Not really. Pfizer has bet big on this by preemptively manufacturing the vaccine. They're already filling freezers. Unless you're referring to the freezers some less equipped distribution centers/agencies will need you acquire?
If you get the virus, you only appear to be immune for a short time (6months, would have to look it up). This matches other coronavirus and how you can get colds multiple times a year.

In reality, a vaccine is probably going to offer a lower (but if this study is true, acceptable) level of protection. I wouldn’t be surprised if the protection drops exponentially after 2 months. Similar to the live virus
> The system is secure and robust, at least with regards to the mechanics of individual votings.

Agreed. If anything this has shown me just how robust the voting system is currently. Many of the counting locations live streamed the process, there are watchers from all interested parties, and the various people in charge/control seem to be from a mix of both sides. Small errors can still occur, but like we saw from 2016, a recount changed the final tally by a couple hundred votes in close states.

The real effective fraud, is voter suppression. Shutting down polling places where one side doesn't want people to vote, and making absentee voting seem like something that isn't done every single election for example.

Then there is after election fraud where one side attempts to delegitimize and throw out legally cast votes.

Business are not entitled to using your software just because it's cool either. They shouldn't feel entitled to having changes made to the software either. If they'd rather save a buck by not having one of their employee working on the same product, they should feel entitled to become even richer either.
But also:

https://www.fiercepharma.com/manufacturing/pfizer-biontech-n...

"Analysts specifically cast doubt on Pfizer and BioNTech's rollout plans given the stringent cold-storage needs for their candidate, which must be kept at a frigid -94° Fahrenheit (-70° Celsius), and will last for only 24 hours at refrigerated temps between 35.6°F and 46.4°F (2°-8°C).

By contrast, most protein subunit vaccines—the type being developed for COVID-19 by Sanofi and Novavax, among others—can be held at refrigerated temps for months, analysts said."

Is there support for reverse lookup that I'm just overlooking? There's of PTR records being used for reverse lookups, but no sign of how to do it without reversing the octets by hand.
Counter-example in the UK: where the method of voting is walking into a room with your chums, MPs sometimes have to say that they "accidentally" walked into the wrong room:

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-16746389

It's clear your example that they (Swedish MEPs) were all agreed to vote in this direction, since they each press their own button. It's most likely that they didn't understand the significance of the vote and thought better of it afterwards.

It's their one job, to vote.
> The data released by Pfizer Monday was delivered in a news release, not a peer-reviewed medical journal. It is not conclusive evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective, and the initial finding of more than 90 percent efficacy could change as the trial goes on.

The title is quite sensationalistic for such preliminary results. Especially when they have only been reviewed by an "outside panel of experts" [1] who sometimes have undisclosed conflict of interests.

You know exactly what I meant so don't pretend otherwise. By the way, 1.26 million is less than 0.02% of the world's population.
That’s surprisingly cheap. Are they breaking even at that price?
I wonder if any of the other vaccine candidates offer 100% protection, or near it at least? Still, if everyone got this vaccine, then the infectiousness of the virus would be decimated, so if currently every infected person infects 5 people, in a vaccinated population they would instead infect 0.5 people, causing the pandemic to decline instead of accelerate exponentially like it does now.

Real question I have is how well the study was conducted AND how long immunity lasts. Even if both were good here... we won’t have the vaccine widely available until mid to late next year.
A bit late; these companies already have vast stocks of the vaccine ready to be deployed once they get greenlit. They will be getting - and have already received - orders and reservations for tens, hundreds of millions of units of a potential vaccine, awaiting testing and approval; see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8852159/The-video-w..., citing they're aiming to produce 1.3 billion doses next year.

I read this with a lot of hope. The -80 degree cold storage part won’t be easy. Most vaccines stored at medical offices are nowhere near that and are only around ~0 degrees C.

Freezer temps are only ~18 deg C.

Possibly will only be able to be administered at special sites or if they find a way to stabilize it at warmer temp.
I also respect people more when they succeed at their full time job and then talk about how they did it, rather than full-time hucksters.

My problem with Cal, I guess, is how he writes. He's not an author, but a 'blog writer', and comes across as such in his books. Also, his insipid academic style is painfully dry, lacks flair, and contains no grander story beyond the literal. Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep is another example of a book offering good advice, but written by an untrained author.

For me, when I pick up a 'book', as opposed to reading a blog article, I want the author to have spent a while meditating on a point, and to have uncovered some small portion of the universe. That magic is lacking in Cal Newport's writing.

Nothing beats the feeling of a real pen and paper for me. The texture of the paper and the feedback of the pen changes the experience a lot for me. Even if I've grown with computers and wanted my profession since forever, nothing beats paper (incl. e-paper/e-ink) when it comes to writing.

The term open source was used in the article, but did they mean that in an accurate sense, or was it just empty marketing? Also, I can't find the source after a short search.

Don't know, but I'm sure much expertise, man-hours and expensive equipment would be necessary. Maybe prohibitively so.

I assume you're being tongue-in-cheek, but just in case you're serious: No, today's wage "slavery" is not anything at all like the literal slavery of premodern times (taking aside the also literal slavery that still exists in many parts of the world today). A slave in antiquity or at any time prior to the general formal global abolition of the practice in the 19th century was literal property, with no more rights than a farm animal. Their owner could kill them, rape them, beat them or work them to death and so forth as they pleased, with no legal recourse for these human beings classed as property. Let's not insult either problems of modern life or the horrors of real slavery by equating the two just to be fashionably negative about modern capitalism..

Then it’s pretty easy to stop playing for tips or perhaps stop hanging out a sign that says “feel free to sample without paying me or even referencing me.”

If I’m playing for tips, have thousands of listeners, and making an amount of money that doesn’t make me happy then that’s a good sign to stop doing that because people don’t value my music as much as I do.

It’s really hard to understand what makes an album #1 as there’s so many factors. I think that’s why it’s so important to set up licenses beforehand. I don’t think it’s reasonable that I’m entitled to any percentage of a #1 album just because they sampled my CC-commercial licensed music.
Neither of those. It means you don't get sick if you get in contact with the virus.
Whether that means you're immune (i.e. not spreading the virus to others) is a different question that apparently hasn't been answered by this preliminary data yet. (And I can see this is more difficult to study.)
Hmm, like disallow them in the AppStore but allow sideloading apps, even an alternative app store - and then put a large banner that it is insecure blabla that the user can ignore if he/she so chooses. Or allow it only with some developer mode for which a user would have to touch something n times , like it is on Android. So those who don’t know what is it all about can stay in their walled garden, while the rest can use their goddamn 1000 dollar phone the way they want

Why on Earth would they want to ban active users of their VR headset? Every active VR user, even if they don't use the Facebook site, is surely a precious asset. If Facebook continues to move into VR and AR, then surely many of its future users may only be interacting with its services exclusively in those mediums.

I've been keeping an eye on Pijul for a while, but assumed that (when it eventually stabilised) it personally wouldn't be worth the effort to switch from git.

I've changed my mind now that they're tracking byte ranges instead of lines, with ranges decided in a customisable way at commit time. Semantic/format-aware versioning would be really nice. The easiest plugins to write would be s-expressions and JSON, and I could definitely see myself choosing Pijul for such repos in the future. If the patch-based approach is truly as nice as it appears, that might push me to use it more generally.

In fact, making an s-expression plugin which is robust across various Lisp dialects might be a good way to bootstrap the user community.

It would be nice to have for other languages too (C, Python, etc.), but they'd (a) be more complicated and (b) more subject to churn.
