This is timecard fraud, not wage theft.
There may be fewer embezzlers with disproportionately high average theft, probably with a much more skewed distribution (a few very large embezzlements covers a lot of minimum wage hours).
The title is highly editorialized misinformation. The study is saying that aerosolized virus is pretty much nonexistent outdoors (as everyone expected - fresh air works), but does not deny droplet transmission outdoors, which is what social distancing and mask wearing is designed to prevent.

From the abstract: "Transmission by contact or at close range due to large respiratory droplets is widely accepted, however, the role of airborne transmission due to small respiratory droplets emitted by infected individuals (also asymptomatic) is controversial"
Yes, but the viral load measurements they're using were taken at only 2 different locations. I don't see why you would, then, feel confident in making a generalized statement about all locations.
Only terrorists wear masks.
The important issue is that R&D spending is not a good measure of outcomes. A lot of R&D spending goes to high administrative salaries, equipment, facilities (real estate), and related costs that do not translate into outcomes.

By 2016, we knew "Now they’re almost gone." was wrong.kinda hard to read the rest when the starting thesis is wrong.

WHO explicitly recommends against wearing masks while exercising: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

>FACT: People should NOT wear masks while exercising

>People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.

>Sweat can make the mask become wet more quickly which makes it difficult to breathe and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The important preventive measure during exercise is to maintain physical distance of at least one meter from others.
Good to hear you thought of it, I would say that due to load time, the response measure should be suspect. Using myself as an example, I clicked, read some news, came back and clicked, go get a drink, etc. Took me over an hour to finish.
The paper was about aerosolized virus. The title here misleadingly implies any kind of outdoor transmission (including droplet not just aerosol transmission) is unlikely.
I hope you are right, but I'm not convinced. Covid isn't just going to go away like switching off a light switch. A good number of people have gone way off the deep end with regard to "being safe". I'm not sure they will be able to reason about when the risk is low enough to be able to stop wearing a mask.
It's still a valid concern. The government has mandated these businesses shut their doors it should also mandate that they get the assistance needed (which I'm hoping will come next year).

Small businesses can't afford a lot of the overhead of shuttering their doors and still paying mortgages etc. The employees there can't afford it either. I'm not saying it's a bad/good call by leaders. I'm just saying if you are mandated to shut your business, you should be able to "turn off" the economic issues associated with that. Mortgage gets extended, taxes get deferred, etc.

This is definitely a weakness of pure capitalism in a regulation environment like today. We cant shut down a businesses income and expect their expenses to remain the same.
"Tosser" insults masturbators, casting an even wider insult-net.

Only it doesn't really, because everyone knows that it's idiomatic. If I said you were "cool", you would not take that to mean your temperature was low. :)
"By passing other people without having a mask you pull up, you're imposing your estimates of safety on others, who may wish to avoid having to pass people who aren't wearing masks, even outdoors. That's extremely obnoxious behavior, even though you're likely right on the low risks of transmission in sparse outdoor settings."

Wait wait wait...why should everyone be required to cater to the most paranoid people in the world, or be considered "obnoxious"? Where does this end? If I walk down the street, and someone twenty feet away from me scowls at me because I'm not wearing a mask, that's objectively their problem, not mine.

If you're so scared that you can't stand the idea of someone else being outside without obeying your rules, then perhaps you should reconsider being outside in the first place.
You know, I'd happily normalise "wear a mask if you want, especially if you're coughing". But without peer pressure in either direction once we're back to low stakes.

Foreach macros. Nice when you have a list of constant that you need for declaring a lot of tables or enumerations. Here an example with ISO-639 language codes

Example with 3 "values". This is the base definition from which all the tables and enums are produced.

#define FOREACH_LAN(LAN)\
LAN(GA, IE, C_ANSI ) /**< Irish Gaelic : 0 */ \
LAN(DE, DE, C_ANSI ) /**< German : 1 */ \
LAN(DA, DA, C_ANSI ) /**< Danish : 2 */ \
LAN(EL, EL, C_GREEK ) /**< Greek : 3 */ \
LAN(EN, GB, C_ANSI ) /**< English : 4 */ \
LAN(ES, ES, C_ANSI ) /**< Spanish : 5 */
etc.

Let's define an enum indexing with these languages

#define GENERATE_LANIDX(lan,country,codepage) LANIDX_ ## lan,

typedef enum {
LANIDX_UNDEFINED = -1, //

FOREACH_LAN(GENERATE_LANIDX)

LANIDX_MAX // Automatically get the upper bound
} LANIDX_TYPE;

This is equivalent to

typedef enum {
LANIDX_UNDEFINED = -1, //
LANIDX_GA,
LANIDX_DE,
LANIDX_DA,
LANIDX_EL,
LANIDX_EN,
LANIDX_ES,
LANIDX_MAX // Automatically get the upper bound
} LANIDX_TYPE;

but I didn't need to repeat all the language codes, the macro did it for us.

Now in the module I can define tables, also without needing to repeat the codes

const char *LanIdx2LanTable[] = {
#define GENERATE_LANIDDX_2_LAN(lan,country,codepage) [1+ LANIDX_ ## lan]={#lan},
FOREACH_LAN(GENERATE_LANIDDX_2_LAN)
};

const char *LanIdx2CodePageTable[] = {
#define GENERATE_LANCP(lan,country,codepage) [1+LANIDX_ ## lan]=codepage,
FOREACH_LAN(GENERATE_LANCP)
};

It's interesting, because with a financial incentive, stores have no problem running NICS checks in a few short minutes.

I am uninterested in the government itself creating onerous requirements to execute basic rights and then complaining when they can't manage it in a reasonable time.

And of course, the courts have ruled there is a reasonable amount of time, that's 45 days. It's been litigated.
Some countries are now at nearly zero cases.
The tax system is not the place to try to solve poverty - you just end up over complicating it without even fixing the problem. Zero tax does not equate to zero poverty.

Let the tax system and social services systems stand on their own. Don't conflate one with the other.
Labor costs driving down is also from tech companies outsourcing many of their humans from other countries like India (tech companies are now the biggest segment of the economy). Not to get political but its why they donate 95% to the democrat party who goes to bat for them with maximum labor exploitation regulations (open borders, H1B visas, etc). They're not donating money for nothing.
If you look at the library (and many of his other 100+), then the code itself is so simple that it barely counts as a library. It's 60 lines where the only logic is to type-check for a string or a number.

Mind, it's not to the same level as this guy: https://github.com/jonschlinkert

Chances are it's just found itself as a dependency of a dependency, rather than being used directly. Not to shit on either of them, but they both 'maintain' a large amount of trivial packages that any language with a sensible standard library wouldn't require.
I’ve paid very little attention but haven’t we known this for at least 4 months? Both the effectiveness of “indoor only” measures and the lack of spikes after BLM protests told us this.

We also know it’s airborne, worse if you’re old, obese or diabetic (which effects the immune system so no surprise there).

There seems to be a huge amount of effort and attention being put into covid research to reprove things we already knew. Is science always like this?
I was about to post the same. After all, if I can mow my lawn with an electric mower without electrocuting myself with just a little bit of route planning, can't farmers do just the same?
I think commitment to pivotal change is baked into their hardware teams' culture. A lot of the decisions made at Apple that we see in their products aren't decisions that could be made within other organizations. Either because the people don't have the capacity to do make them, or because the organization isn't set up to let them do it and succeed.

Some of these ideas, like converting an entire product category to a different ISA would be celebrated and investigated at Apple but laughed out of the room at Dell or HP.

A bigger part of this aside from culture is that Apple is one of the most vertically integrated manufacturers of consumer goods in the world, and isn't beholden to the whims of suppliers or customers as much as anyone else.

Mask wearing and "social distancing" (whatever the fuck that means) was heavily politicized for the election this year in the US.

When you see someone being "pro-mask" here they are a liberal and the SF Bay Area is the most liberal place in the US so that's why you see such a stunning disconnect between people who live in the Bay Area versus something like Texas or Florida.

But I think I agree with you, while at the same time a part of me wonders if there's not a bit of duality to the salary "finding out" frustration; part $mySalary < $theirSalary, part a function 'wish I had known earlier and asked for more earlier'.

Context matters. Visiting a foreign nation which criminalizes homosexuality is not the same as supporting it, nor is it the same as if your CEO donates to an anti-LGBTQ+ cause, or if you find out that the product you are working on is being sold with knowledge to government agencies who break human rights with knowledge of that workplace rulers.

You cannot live your entire life on principle, some hills just aren’t worth dying on. This is really clear for the issue of the climate disaster. There is only so much a person can do, and industry has very much taken advantage of it and sold us the illusion of green consumerism. While people were busy buying energy savings light bulbs, industrial scale polluters simply kept on polluting. If the failure to tackle the climate disaster has taught me anything it is that living by principal is quite often a distraction.

Now back to the office building where all the businesses flag bigoted flags. Here is a hill that for me personally is to much for me to handle, unless my workplace would publicly denounce these bigoted views and at least publicly shame the neighboring offices, I would not want to be seen near there. If they did nothing I would interoperate that as complacency with bigotry and I could not accept that my workplace has those view (even though not directly stated).

(Please see the reply I left to Krasnol). So, if you just gave me a search-bar and have me play music, it would be post-rock or metal. And what I get on spotify is a bunch of post rock and black/death metal. Which is fine, but predictable and kinda boring.

I wouldn't be searching for any of that on my own. But I love all of it (ended buying merch from quite a few "youtube recommended" artists). To me that is as successful a recommendation system as it can be. It shows me things I didn't even know I 'd love! From Jazz, to Funk, to Ambient, to SovietWave goth, to psychedelic rock, the list is always expanding.... I was never that open minded, but now I am. Maybe this is more on me and how my personality evolved through the years than on youtube's recommendations...

But you can see that many people had the same happen to them by how popular comments like this are -> "You didnt find this video. It found you." Or "I would love to know what I did to make this come up in my suggested videos. Holy shit this is awesome!"

Curious, ain't it?
Convolution is digit-based multiplication, so why not start with that?

100101 * 23 = 2302323. If you defer the carry over to the end, the digit-based steps we do is convolution. That said, giving lots of examples like those in the article is useful.

Next up looking at multiplying two polynomials in a single variable.

Edit: changed digit-wise to digit-based to make it clear that I'm not asking to multiply corresponding digits.

We will definately publish all data - after all we want to help patients and surgeons so we have to get all the data out to them! At the moment we are just a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of feedback and participants to be honest :-)
But of course all data will be published! We have an email subscription box at the end of the survey - we will notify everyone who is interested as soon as we publish the data.

What exactly do you mean with metadata and measurements? Do you mean the breast sizes?
The breast conditions are rendered from 3D-measured breasts of real patients - so the displayed conditions and breast sizes are completely based on real measurements and the corresponding measures (e.g. cup-size).
I particularly don't think this is remarkable (from the software side, logistics is another thing). Most UNIX software has been portable between CPUs since at least the mid-70s. Apple is doing what UNIX pioneered 40 years ago.

I hear your initial thought here, that talking about sensitive topics requires a sensitive hand, and RMS may lack one. And that's a valid point.

For some topics.

RMS has a history of defending or being actively supportive of pedophilia.

This isn't just a matter of RMS being incapable of speaking about a sensitive topic with grace. If I start raising questions about how smart non-white folks really are and supposing that perhaps only white folks can be in leadership positions, multiple times in multiple venues -- well, folks are going to think I'm a white supremacist. And the harm I'll have done to the non-white folks in my community will have already been done.

And no amount of (pp.) "carefully phrasing every word because it's an extremely charged subject" is going to change that.

That is the amount recovered:

> By contrast, the total amount recovered for the victims of wage theft who retained private lawyers or complained to federal or state agencies was at least $933 million in 2012. This is almost three times greater than all the money stolen in robberies that year. Further, the nearly $1 billion successfully reclaimed by workers is only the tip of the wage-theft iceberg, since most victims never sue and never complain to the government.
Yup, same trade-off.

Now I'm a free market kind of guy and don't mind that people make such TVs and that some people choose to buy them over ones that don't do this. But I am saddened by the ability of this larger chunk of market to eliminate the option of a TV that isn't smart and doesn't do this. I have no idea how to fix that or even put pressure on it from happening.

I agree up to a point. Though I'd observe that outdoor dining with tables separated by 6 feet with people sitting for an extended period of time without masks is happening widely in many places. So the idea that outdoor dining is safe but walking past other people on a trail is not is pretty inconsistent.
It's the Engine of Theseus! ;)
I believe there are several qualifiers on that number, though. For example, the CDC "close contact" guidelines say that a close contact is "someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period".

Passing someone on a sidewalk means you're within 6 feet for maybe 5 seconds, which would constitude about 0.5% of such a "close contact" exposure.

They also say that several factors with insufficient data mean that it's unclear how things like ventilation, indoor vs outdoor, mask vs no mask, etc, affect the exposure assessment.

I started with LinkedIn only connecting with people that I had met personally. Then potentially expanding to people I had conversation.

I found that I was just getting a lot of the same posts and it was a lot of groupthink.

Then I started connecting with people I hadn't met. It's significantly expanded the conversations and perspectives I'm getting.

Expanding the reach of my posts/views and the value of the network I bring.

This has helped in being seen by many as an expert. Also the value of the posts. I've had multiple clients reach out to engage in work that I had never met in person.

For me connecting and conversing with people in the same industry brings a lot of value to myself and the industry as a whole.

Connecting people across the globe into one feed has become the new idea of LinkedIn for me.
