Yeah. ZFS on modern systems schedules a complete read and “resilver” once a month. This is an aggressive schedule - But only “Probably”. I’m of the opinion that if you don’t have the capability of rereading 100% and rewriting 1% of your entire “cold” dataset every week, your data is already lost.

Covid is known to cause both inflammation of the heart and blood clotting. Saying that someone who was badly sick with covid who died of a heart attack “died of covid complications” is a statement that passes the sniff test.

Personally, I find the arguments over precise covid numbers a bit baffling. For comparison, there are battles between nation states within my lifetime where the estimate on how many combatants died range by over an order of magnitude. Not civilians killed in the area, enlisted soldiers. Getting accurate death counts is really, really hard, even in smaller organizations. Across all the counties in the US, mistakes will happen. In the end if a few thousand cases here and there get miscounted, I won’t be surprised in the slightest.

Had the same experience staying at a AirBnB in Vancouver. In that case it was a unit where (unbeknownst to me) the condo board had banned AirBnB, so we were instructed after booking to say we were 'visiting friends'.
I'd make systemd unit files around the docker-compose deployments. Upload everything with something like Ansible. If you want to go perfect go for NixOS instead, but that might be controversial.
this is a really important subject that isn't getting enough air time.

The difference between a vaccine that stops the infection and a vaccine that stops the disease.

The later is definitely not as useful in the early days. because you end up with lots of people operating on a "pre-covid" normal behavior basis when they could be infecting lots of people that are unable to get vaccinated.

The Former is a much better solution. Stop people getting infected, then they can't wander around shedding and spreading.
Page lists 26k deaths from cardiac arrests.

From the american heart association's website: "People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not synonyms. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly."

Clickbait.
We have quasi-legal marijuana in some jurisdictions right now. It's still federally illegal everywhere and that's just not being enforced (I think because the Feds know that if they squeeze that particular watermelon seed that it will fly out of their fingers everywhere).
Ah, the good ol' days.

Pools. Heh. Had an in-ground one growing up and almost never used it. I had to do the chemicals, skim leaves, roll the solar cover, and change the diatomaceous earth. Everyone on the block had one too, and they were rarely used either.

Humidity kills me. For example, I had a Colombian gf but the weather in Barranquilla is mass murder.

Around the south Bay Area, I biked around the hills of the Almaden Valley and Mt. Umunhum incessantly, and skateboarded around the neighborhood until my knees had divots and layers of scars. Went to UC Davis where biking was de rigueur. Did some biking in Netherlands and Belgium, the former being a biking paradise.

The cis females in Austin are just my speed. Sadly, they don't have a chance. And, being a big city, the open-minded types I prefer are more abundant. One area I miss is SF's Castro where mixed gender bars facilitate hooking-up with cis females, but I'll be back. I don't miss SF's parking situation and am looking for cheaper ways to park near downtown Austin.

Folks seem friendlier in Austin than CA where almost everyone has a chip on their shoulder, is seething with dissatisfaction, and doesn't want to be sociable. Heck, I don't even mind chatting with the saner homeless people that aren't panhandling me. I met some very cool homeless people with interesting lives in Palo Alto, CA when Happy Donuts was the hangout.

It didn't come from the Wuhan markets. That was always simplistic rubbish. You would logically guess it was in rural China for months before.

This is where it might bite us, if we looked wider than the mystical wet markets of the orient we might have understood how it spreads much sooner.

But one study has the flaw it only has one group of researchers. I wouldn't believe it yet.

Covid doesn't kill people. Respiratory failure or other organ failure, heart attack, etc. kills people.

But guess why your respiration failed?

Similarly, deaths from stabbing or shooting could just be labeled "hypoxia and organ failure from low blood pressure".

Better still, get mentally ill homeless people off the street and into institutions where they belong.

Building a camp out in the desert somewhere where people like this can get three square meals and a bed would both be an improvement on their present situation and a total money saver once you take into account all the problems and waste of police/ambulance time that they cause. Even better if you extend it to drug addicts.

You're right, I spoke imprecisely. Some point on top to begin with, any other equatorial point you want with a quick spin.
Thanks. I see your point when it comes to soft tissues - organs and whatnot won't always be in the same place when scanned a second time down the road.

I was thinking specifically about my case, which is all bone. It should work for that, but you're right about the rest. So my idea is probably of limited interest.
The incorrect one becomes a legal alias. My given name is commonly misspelled and the misspelling is an AKA on my credit report.
And remember that receipts aren't for you.

In fact, it might cost them money because it facilitates returns.

Businesses don't care if they give you a receipt.

They care if a receipt was generated by the machine, and are a check on the employee.

those signs "if we didn't give you a receipt your meal is free" take on a different meaning in that light.

credit reporting agencies != credit reporting itself.

An unaccountable private enterprise should not have access to my financial information, let alone three of them. I feel that's the domain of a governmental agency with far less access to information and is or far more regulated than the existing bureaus.

> Should everyone get the same mediocre credit limits/interest rates/etc instead of responsible borrowers being rewarded

No, but non-borrowers or low borrowers shouldn't be penalized when they do need credit. I'm not against credit reporting, I'm against the usage of my data against me by people that don't have an incentive to make sure its accurate and keep it secure.

If you go onto gmaps and drop in directions for Los Angeles to New York and Addis Ababa to Victoria Falls by car, the trip distances are within ~50-60 miles of each other.

If you zoom out, the length of the trip between Addis Ababa and Victoria Falls only gets you to Chicago from Los Angeles, and the length of the trip from Los Angeles to New York will get you all the way to South Africa from Ethiopia.

Hard to really know where Apple stands in comparison to the other tech giants. It feels like forever ago, but they all sang the same tune when Snowden leaked those documents a few years back.

We first heard of the government’s “Prism” program when news organizations asked us about it on June 6.

https://www.apple.com/apples-commitment-to-customer-privacy/

Compare this to:

Microsoft: We provide customer data only when we receive a legally binding order or subpoena to do so, and never on a voluntary basis. In addition we only ever comply with orders for requests about specific accounts or identifiers. If the government has a broader voluntary national security program to gather customer data we don't participate in it.

Facebook: We do not provide any government organization with direct access to Facebook servers. When Facebook is asked for data or information about specific individuals, we carefully scrutinize any such request for compliance with all applicable laws, and provide information only to the extent required by law.

Google: Google cares deeply about the security of our users' data. We disclose user data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. From time to time, people allege that we have created a government 'back door' into our systems, but Google does not have a backdoor for the government to access private user data.

https://techcrunch.com/2013/06/06/google-facebook-apple-deny...

I have long wanted to believe Apple is fighting for its customers' privacy, but this new phone-home telemetry "feature" really stacks undeniable doubt against the likelihood that Apple is in my corner. I am starting to think that all the back-and-forth with the Justice Department and Bill Barr (https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/bill-barr-wants-apple-...) was encryption theatre and the US government actually wants people to use Apple devices. Think about it...Apple is a US company with major access to China and other world markets, and it writes its own software. Seems like the ideal partner for a nosy surveillance agency.

I just want a blazing fast aluminum laptop that doesn't betray me at every turn. I guess that's too much to ask these days.
This law article is utterly hilarious and self-contradictory.
No-one should be able to circumvent "a technological measure that effectively controls access", by definition.
If someone does circumvent a measure intended to control access, this proves that the measure was not, in fact, effective, thereby rendering the entire article inconsequential.

I have a favorite circular slide rule: the E6B Flight Computor (sic). Pilots still use them to calculate airspeeds, distances, and fuel burn; and the reverse side can be used to calculate course corrections in the face of wind. Actually a lot of pilots probably use the iPad they keep all their air charts on for this, but it's great to have as a backup. All those flight parameters can be found with a simple mechanism that's made of card stock and uses no electricity! Sometimes the most marvelous tech is not high tech.
Apple's marketing material said the M1 would blow everything out of the water with a HUGE margin.

Could you provide a link to the marketing material that says the M1 would blow everything out of the water with a HUGE margin?

The M1 press release says "The World’s Best CPU Performance per Watt". That's true.

The M1 MacBook press release says "And with M1, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is up to 3x faster than the best-selling Windows laptop in its class."

The fine print:
Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip, as well as production Intel Core i7-based PC systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and the latest version of Windows 10 available at the time of testing. Best-selling system based on publicly available sales data over the last nine months.

Translation: those laptops you see at Best Buy that are in the $800–$1200 range? Yeah, we blows those things out the water. By a lot.
All my exams (but one) were take home with well understand rules of engagement. The one exam that wasn't take hime was a visiting professor who made us take the exam at the same time in our normal meeting room and then the left the room for 3 hours. I don't think any of us cared that it was in that particular room, but it was weird to all take the test at 2pm.
That is the "sanewashed" version of the slogan, yes.

Ultimately it's classic motte-and-bailey, a slogan that means entirely different things depending on whether you're playing attack or defence at any given time.
Well, you spend money as part of doing business, but then, in theory, you make some money. This is revenue. Revenue is taxed at 21% in the US as of the 2019 tax year. Now, if you screw up, and the IRS catches you, you owe penalties. And you owe interest on the money you didn’t pay. And these can add up, especially, like the S-1 filing says, if you have irregularities dating back 7 years.

I’m sure they will have to make a more detailed explanation of this at some point, and it should make for a good read whenever the release it. And they may take their accounting firm to court, because this is large enough to at least suspect negligence or fraud. But until something else happens, all we have is speculation.
> I think we can now conclude that covid19 behaves seasonally, just like other respiratory viruses.

It's interesting you bring that up; I normally am very much on the 'Use interfaces and Dependency injection instead of inheritance' camp. And yet, When I work with Actor Model frameworks (Mostly Akka/Akka.Net) I find places where using some simple inheritance is insanely powerful yet intuitive. You wind up getting something in-between OOP and AOP with the results.
> America desperately needs a national internal affairs department ith an entirely separate reporting line whose boss answers directly to the president (or at least state governors).

The closest thing (and its fairly close, though it doesn't answer to the states or the President directly) is the US Department of Justice, particularly the Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division, which addresses "1) the rights of people in state or local institutions, including: jails, prisons, juvenile detention facilities, and health care facilities for persons with disabilities; 2) the rights of individuals with disabilities to receive services in their communities, rather than in institutions; 3) the rights of people who interact with state or local police or sheriffs' departments; 4) the rights of youth involved in the juvenile justice system; 5) the rights of people to have safe access to reproductive health care clinics; and 6) the rights of people to practice their religion while confined to state and local institutions." [0]

But weakening oversight of local law enforcement by DoJ was a major early priority of the current Administration, so it hasn't been particularly active in the particular role you are concerned with for the last few years.

> If Biden is looking to score some points this would be a good way.

I can't really imagine a Biden Administration not ramping activity regarding law enforcement oversight back up.

They literally had a test case in the repo for circumventing copy protection on youtube.

I'm somewhat baffled they managed to get the repo reinstated given that's very much a violation of the DMCA.
The constitution is BS anyway.

For example, Article I, section 10 says "No state shall...coin money, emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts..."

And look what the US has today; fiat money. No only is it not gold or silver, but it's not event backed by it.

Based on this definition, nobody in the US earns any money so nobody should have to pay any income tax since basically everyone's income is 0 ounces of gold and 0 ounces of silver. Yet this argument would not stand in court even though it's 100% logical.

We're all just a bunch of monkeys. The implementation of the law always comes down to what the most popular monkeys think it is.

If the most popular monkeys think that the definition of 'gold' actually means 'feces', then before you know it, we will all start throwing feces at each other as a means of payment.

What's the point of defining the law using words if people will later distort the meaning of those words to suit their purpose? you may as well rely on gut feelings and majority rule to decide what is right or wrong.
I am insulting most people who post here, who were similarly credulous about Theranos, uBeam and a lot of other obvious scams that violate basic common sense, and, like 1/r^2 laws.

> That's higher than 5 of the shown previous 10 years.

That's a shockingly dishonest way to make a claim which could just as well have been phrased "that's lower than 5 of the previous 10 years".
Incorrect. There's a single green line that has an alteration to replace a music video ID "UxxajLWwzqY" in a test case that actually only makes use of ID "BaW_jenozKc" ("Use the first video ID in the URL").

The removed "Test generic use_cipher_signature video (#897)" case did make use of ID UxxajLWwzqY.
"guys" is slang since about 1970 for 'everybody', probably from the American Mid-West.

My first experience of the term as distinct from meaning 'males' was the 'Mary Tyler Moore Show' when Ted Baxter, one of the newsreaders, always entered the room saying "Hi, Guys" when saying 'hello' to all the people in the room.

I remember thinking back then that it 'didn't sound right'. However over time, I found myself using the term more and more.
Same. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner I drank milk.
I did it volunteeringly. Describe the venue, how many people, setup (e.g. how many parallel tracks), what went well, types on attendees and sponsors. Was it very commercial or community driven? Then a list of presentations I visited and 3-5 bullet points unless a presentation was extra interesting. With an audience of 20 people I can't remember ever receiving a follow-up question so I wouldn't overthink the format, style or level of detail of such a report.
I fucking love Crystal. It's a fantastic language that is just now starting to reach maturity. I'd strongly recommend you play with it, if you're a ruby guy.

All these things. I’ve used AirBnB to snag a single bed at a hostel at $3/night to renting out a ski villa in Breckenridge for the whole clan of 14. While there are a lot of hotels pretending to be owners in high travel hotspots, most of the time it’s someone trying to offset or profit off a room/place they have and you’ll gladly take it for the different experience from the hotel room which start to all look the same.
I researched a bit how Airbnb scaled in China two years ago, not sure how the things are going now.

Obviously there are tons of competitors in that area in China. They have far more employees and use typical Chinese aggressive marketing. The most notable one, Tijia cooperates with the main travel providers - CTrip, Expedia, Qunar.
For me as a foreigner Airbnb works well, although in some rural areas it's better to go with Tijia.

Airbnb entered the Chinese market in 2015 – the same year in which Tujia became a unicorn. The global giant has been slow to expand in China, with 80,000 listings compared to Tujia’s 400,000.
Indeed in 2017, Airbnb Inc's founders were moments away from merging their China business with Tujia. Chesky decided to block the deal out of concern that it would harm the Airbnb brand.

Afaik, Airbnb focuses on the quality of its listings. The company has visited thousands of houses and removed those that do not meet quality standards. The company launched Airbnb Plus, a premium service. The company works with opinion leaders and adapts its products to the market. Thus, apartments can be ordered through mini-programs in WeChat, and checkout using WeChat Pay and Alipay.
