I'd have to assume "supporting Danish credit cards" is lower on their list of revenue-impacting issues than you expect.

If Denmark were a US state, it wouldn't even be in the top 20 in terms of population. If you assume that Denmark has lower usage of Tinder than US, CA, or UK, and then you assume that not all Danish people are paying with Danish credit cards (many of them would be using Play Store subscriptions, which seems like it would bypass the issue you're describing), the affected population is probably really small.

Then you also have to consider that most of Tinder's paying users are heterosexual men, and they know that they can screw those men over without losing their business because Tinder is an irreplaceable marketplace to find women.

With all those assumptions, Tinder isn't being as stupid as they sound, but rather coldly rational.
Does use of youtube-dl to download videos from youtube really bump the view count? I have assumed that it doesn't, since it probably isn't passing whatever systems youtube has for addressing 'view count fraud'.

This is exactly the point. One more dependency, one more executable. Redpanda get rid of that.
I'm pretty sure feature churn and foisting technical debt onto your competitors is a feature, not a bug for Google.

In my experience, when resources become too scarce and competition too tight, actors start working on the surest bets, or playing the authority card or the most sensational moonshots.

It is possible that Africa simply lacks the data.
There are multiple sides to "defending" a project like this. One of them is avoiding to trip the run-of-the-mill scrapers. The takedown was serious but we don't know what triggered the lawyers' attention in the first place. IMHO a simple runtime obfuscation would remove that particular attack vector, once coupled with some plausible deniability (i.e. deleting all downloaded data once tested). At that point, YTDL is still on RIAA's generic shitlist (which will require other mitigations to survive) but at least doesn't get flagged every week by a scraper.
Some "suggestions" that helped me get from 1000 to 1300 very quickly:

- Castle very early

- Resist taking pieces for no reason. To take is a mistake

- Use your opponent's time to plan your next move

- If you stop hanging pieces you will automatically be >1200

- Save your bishops, bishops > knights in most endgames

- For every hour you spend analyzing your past games your rating will go up by 10

- You won't improve by playing blitz. Go for 15 + 10 time controls
My method: introduce with disclaimer and open for feedback/questions. Short, focused topic sentences. Rewrites for clarity.

A complete but shallow explanation works to get early engagement.

I try to avoid analogies.

Each building-block topic in its own paragraph. From front to back. That is, start at the visible layer and work down.

Try to use neutral or group pronouns: we, it, "the system"

Building a secure Node.js development environment via containers
I spoke to my physician, who performed a differential diagnosis over the phone. I eliminated environmental considerations, and did a quick "patient history" with him and my contacts, which eliminated other possibilities.

The list of diseases which could explain my symptoms is extremely short. The only one which crosses all the boxes is coronavirus.

My test should be coming back today or tomorrow.
The vaccine is being manufactured now and is in cold storage awaiting approval. When it is approved, it will go to healthcare professionals and those in the highest risk categories. If you are in one of those risk categories you will be prioritized accordingly. This is best for all of us because it will rapidly expand our healthcare capacity and reduce deaths and serious cases. Even a few million doses can make a big dent in the death rate if given to the right people. And with 2 highly effective vaccines heading towards approval, you are now looking at half the wait before a dose is ready for you.
That's much too fast, the turtles underneath can't walk that fast, and there's a whole lot of them
Don't forget other countries.

Warp Speed is a mix of R&D funding and of guarantees to purchase a given number of doses if the vaccine is approved. Some companies get both, some just get a purchase guarantee. (I don't know if any got R&D funding without a purchase guarantee).

The EU has been doing commitments to purchase if approved with substantial down payments to promote R&D. Japan has been doing purchase commitments, but I don't know if they have paid any upfront.

For Moderna, they got both a lot of upfront R&D funding and large purchase commitments from Warp Speed. They got a large purchase commitment from the EU.

For Pfizer, they got no R&D funding from Warp Speed but a 100 m purchase commitment. From the EU they got a 300 m purchase commitment and a big down payment. They got a 120 m dose commitment from Japan.

AstraZenica got a big down payment in the EU and a large dose commitment, and they got R&D funding and a large dose commitment from Warp Speed.

I believe this is how it is going with all the major COVID vaccine efforts.

> Unless you have a respirator, there isn't anything you can take to resolve "difficulty breathing".

As a private person you can realistically get an oxygen concentrator. These are simpler and less expensive than ventilators (I am not even sure if an untrained person should operate a ventilator).

I was involved in getting a concentrator for my friend who got a very bad case of covid though not bad enough to get into a hospital. The concentrator got his oxygen saturation level from low eighties (dangerous) to low nineties (still below the norm but less dangerous).
Unfortunately, you lose that advantage because in days of yore, people knew the implementation details of their hardware, and would optimize around that. With microcode. and the sheer size of certain instruction sets, it is very difficult to do the same thing, particularly mow that the philosophy of programming/computing has shifted to accomodate the industry as an omnipresent actor in your execution environment, and furthermore one with even more rights to observable machine state than you, the owner of the damn thing.

Your point on inefficient code stands, but there is far more at play than mere "programmers aren't skilled enough" and "imagine the possibilities!"

Im all for setting up the equivalent of leprosy colonies for anti-vax folks that want to be left alone. They can be left to their own devices and free to live without vaccinations away from the rest of us.
IIRC, YouTube actually does apply extra DRM to some videos (ones "owned" by the RIAA, maybe others?)
I would expect vaccination to be fully booked for a while, since it's going to be the most important thing in life to do for anyone not suffering from other serious issues and without anti-vaccination beliefs.
I agree with the statement about privatized - and that wasn't what I was referring to. You had said that they public health care listened better, I wanted to refute that. I also recognize that in private health care your insurance and ability to pay impact the health care you receive. I don't think that is the best mechanism to provide good care for the entire population.

All I am saying is that if they can't explain things better than take this pill, than I wouldn't trust them. Like I said, I trust their education (which is the certifications) but I will certainly run questions up the flagpole if I have them. They shouldn't be given "god like" carte blanche status in terms of no questions.

That last question is a tough one - I would wager it is because everyone knows someone who has had some bad experiences, and there have been many a story about seriously effed up medical experiences. Most people can't do statistics and then get deeply concerned that the likelihood that they might have bad experience then spills over into lack of trust. That's my two second hot take.
GitHub Trending Repos via Issue Subscriptions
> Actually, I guess I'm not sure of the consequences to a company of ignoring DMCA takedown requests (whether or not they are US companies; but Gitlab is now btw), but I assume they are not good, or why do companies bother complying? Rather than assume, I should look into it.

The request is essentially a precursor to a lawsuit, so the consequences are a potential lawsuit and all of the legal fees that go along with it.
Or you have to be a morally and professionally substandard lawyer who cannot find a better job.
Great news! It's also worth pointing out that the team has been releasing new versions while the repository was down which is quite remarkable.
It's good that they are making these changes, but they're only making them to save face, rather than proactively. Also (nitpick) it's 'over the next year' not 'later this year' given how late we are in the year those are two very different things. It could be 12 months of being vulnerable.

This also does nothing for privilege they are affording their own apps to avoid VPNs and Firewalls, which has already been shown to be a security flaw (malicious software will then masquerade as the privileged software).

This bugs me to no end, and it isn't limited to consumer-grade appliances. Work tables, counters, and other surfaces will be made of a food-grade stainless while simultaneously having a giant crevice that can't be properly accessed without a pressure washer and which has the moldy gunk cleaned out of it...never.
I bought an XPS 2 years ago and haven't looked back. It's extremely well supported by most kernels and just worked for me.

Furthermore- Dell's WD19TB dock works on most kernels (and all newer XPS models) as well. I'm talking power, USB, network, and 3 2k@60 (or 1 4k@144 & 1 1080@60) displays all on a single cable. The future we were promised 4 years ago is finally here.
I am calling GitHub's official API. APIs are not supposed to have any CORS restrictions.
"I think we need something smarter than a blanket lockdown that affects everyone the same"

We have this in NY and CA among other places. That the Midwest and South are going from "pretend everything is fine" to "full scale lockdown again" was a decision those states made. But NY and CA are still far from requiring a second full scale lockdown and are instead focusing on specific areas and counties.
I already thought the same. Our IT department is probably happy to get rid of the two handful of Mac systems once they have "proof" that those are undermining the network security (when the people use them from mobile hotspots or at home).
What a terrible analogy, given the extremely varied symptoms of covid.
My experience has been that Github doesn't ever purge commits from the history. Even when you rewrite the history, all the dangling commits are still there and can be access. I've yet to find a way to force Github to do a gc so such commits are removed. Without Github running a GC on the repo, the commits will not be removed.

>But to be perfectly crystal clear, absolutely nothing has been "shortened".

That's obviously not true. The approval process has been shortened (or more accurately, is very likely to be shortened), even though the trials will continue after emergency approval.
Really? This got downvoted - must be more Mr. T believers lurking in here than I thought.
They’re rent-seeking, and probably view themselves as necessary redistributors of wealth, like landlords, but for copyright enforcement and expansion instead of housing.
Somewhat similarly, I suffered 4-8 attacks per year from the age of 24 to 49. Colchicine was my friend.

But at 49 I quit drinking, lost almost 50 lbs over a year period, and almost completely stopped having gout attacks.

Interestingly, I still get occasional attacks (once or twice a year at most), and they are all almost totally associated either with dehydration (to which I seem somewhat prone) or stress; particularly the stress of flying for 4+ hours on a business-related trip. I board the plane feeling fine, and step off with that little tinge in my left-big-toe joint.
It was probably cheaper on fuel for the Lambo vs. the helicopter?
The question of human mortality is growing with years on me, though I am in the middle of 30s.

I am very fascinated with many aspects of religions: from the beauty of idea of devotion to a divine omnipresent entity, serving God as a meaning of life to the evolution of Christian doctrine, religious thoughts, and influence of religion on art and architecture.

But I do not believe in God. I cannot take the concept of afterlife, for example, in Christianity seriously: either praising the Lord for eternity on Heavens or suffer in searing flames in Hell. In addition, such important decision is made based on how dedicated you were in following one of the many ancient moral codes, that is far from being universal and timeless. And then the very grand and picturesque Judgement Day, that belongs more to the realm of fantasy literature... I may imaging myself ending up with a belief that my soul will be dissolved in or unite with the universe in some way - like people feel under psychodelics or in deep meditation.

If you cannot find answers and comfort on the topic of mortality in religion, I would suggest to check Stoicism, Hackagure the way of the Samurai, or even Objectivism. I want to explore the latter after listening to Lex Fridman's podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=SOr1YYRljV8
My guess is that cod is widespread in countries around the North Atlantic. Hospitality in a bit of an excessive degree and bordering on comical annoyance due to unawareness is an even more widespread phenomenon around the world, as attested, among other, by many Hollywood comedies such as "My great Greek wedding" and others :)

Very glad you enjoyed it, and if you drop by Barcelona where I live now, I'll happily make sure you try 4 or 5 instances of the single best paella in the world.
Image Processing in Python: Algorithms, Tools, and Methods You Should Know
> Talent is somewhat important but nowhere as important as training.

Generally agreed on your post but I don't think I agree with this. You aren't making it to GM without an extreme amount of talent. Training is likely to be required too, but I'd say it's much more likely that an extremely talented but untrained person could make GM vs an not-so-talented person with rigorous training. Basically I'm saying that the vast majority of people would never be able to become a GM regardless of training.
I suppose it depends on how the claim is formulated? Take the CraftBukkit[1] claim for example. In that case, all commits since a specific point, plus all forks, were taken down:

"Pages including infringing content: [...] infringing as of commit [...] and every subsequent commit, including all forks that contain this commit [...] and all forks that share a common first commit [...] and every subsequent commit, including all forks that contain this commit"

This made any effort for restoration futile, since most of the repo was being claimed.

As a note on this practice: Still renew it every year! It's easy to think ten years is a long time off to reach, but nine years of not doing anything and you'll have forgotten about it. And if you have lost access to something critical for renewal since then...

Renew every year, even if that date is far off.

FounderSwipe – Mutual and Equitable Networking
I think he is right. But I don't like his tone.

The whole writeup is a tantrum on why you should stick to "well known" facts. Which sounds to me too much like asserting the truth of things without questioning them. Yes, there are a lot of fools out there whith a spookrijder complex that are a detriment to science. And I would assume a well-known professor would rightly get tired of their emails.

He only shortly adresses at the end that radical ideas are precisely what is needed for progress in science.

I do not think this dismissive mentality does the situation any good. If someone comes with a radical but stupid idea, you need to first recognize the merit in the idea, and then show why it is wrong. Bashing someone with "you cannot create free energy" will only encourage him to waste his time trying to prove you wrong.

I suspect a lot of these spookrijders are curious and fairly smart people, but who's ideas where offhandedly dismissed by a teacher one too many times.
As I got tired of networking sites getting spammed and turning into social media sites, I developed Founderswipe. With tenderized matchmaking, your connections are mutual and equitable. No noise. No spam. Just swipe through abs and profiles and match with those that connect with your vision.
Are you arguing that it's the norm to go from we want to develop a vaccine against this new disease to here's a vaccine ready for trials within months is the general norm?

Regardless of the massive speedup and exceptions given by the FDA, you don't agree that the lab part of the development was slightly (understatement) faster than usual?
Apple apps do bypass NEFilterDataProvider (used by application firewalls like Little Snitch), and the per-app VPN mechanism (using NEAppProxyProvider). Thus, per-app VPNs can't be applied to Apple applications, but per-app VPNs were never intended to globally intercept traffic. Claiming that Apple apps bypass (all) VPNs in Big Sur is deceptive - they only bypass per-app VPNs that were never intended to cover all system traffic in the first place.

Traditional VPNs that cover the whole system and route traffic based on destination IP (such as OpenVPN in UTUN mode) use the Packet Tunnel Provider in Destination IP mode. To the best of my knowledge, global VPNs routing based on destination IP (ie. non per-app VPNs) still route traffic from all applications, including Apple ones.

See this for more details on the Packet Tunnel Provider: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/n...

My grandfather was getting obese and had a risk of getting diabetes.

When his medic reviewed all his food choices... the issue was actually fruit, in particular various kind of oranges, my grandpa just loves oranges and will eat them often, several per day.

How would one technically best take the video stream and process it with ML plus send any navigation commands to the drone via api?
That won't work, because Youtube applies the particular sort of protection that those tests exercise only to copyrighted music.
Is there a blog post or docs showing using WASM? I searched your site but couldn't find details.

I've failed to grasp if it's an "alternative plugin-engine" kind of system to extend Redpanda, or you're storing data as WASM and therefore it's executable (to take your example: GDPR compliant auto-expire if it's past a certain date).
Just because the media did a horrendously bad job at reporting on this virus does not mean it isn't a serious threat. We see now in the US how it can spiral out of control if we let it.

Yes, I understand the purpose of blinding. I'm wondering if that purpose still holds once a vaccine is approved and is widely available. Surely for her safety they will unblind her so she knows whether to go get the real vaccine?
