Gotta make sure people can make rent and eat and otherwise stay alive, or they're not going to stay home.

Even ignoring financial considerations, expecting people to have no in-person contact with anyone outside their homes for 9+ months is utterly unrealistic.

Places like UK did a hard lockdown for 6 weeks and kept schools open. It completely worked. Yes, kids can transmit the virus, but it appears that as long as the ADULTS limit their interaction with other adults, kids have only a limited way of encountering infections.
No, that's perfectly ethical compared to betraying the company that employes you, because:

* The money otherwise goes to the pockets of completely-useless C-suites.
* The exploit is likely out anyway.
* Nation state actors may indeed prevent yet another 9/11 attack. In worst case they don't use it to spread ransomware.
We used to make the trek from Ann Arbor to Toledo with the kids just to go to the zoo. It's solid. Lots of great WPA architecture, too.
Just grepped through the book and found the incident you mentioned, but there's nothing about Vaseline and hydrogen peroxide. Are you sure you didn't read about this in a different book? If so, any idea where?

So, it was several days before I realized how bad
things really were. My face was swollen to the size of
a pumpkin, badly charred from being blowtorched.
Ol' Stan Bear came in and sat down. He said, "Well,
Chuck, I've got good news and bad news. The good
news is that your lungs have not been permanently
damaged from inhaling flame and smoke, and your
eye looks normal. The bad news is I'm gonna have to
hurt you like you've never hurt before in your life to
keep you from being permanently disfigured. And
I'm gonna have to do it every four days."

I stayed in the hospital a month, and every four
days, Doc started from the middle of my face and
neck, scraping away the accumulated scab. It was a
new technique developed to avoid horrible crisscross
scars as the skin grew beneath the scabs. And it
worked beautifully. I have only a few scars on my
neck, but my face healed perfectly smooth. The pain,
though, was worse than any I have ever known.
100 people was for the ITS, an earlier concept with a 12 meter diameter. The 9 meter Starship would presumably hold fewer people.
God forbid that a title be evocative instead of a 100% literal description of the contents.

It's not like title is "11 surprising ways to escape a sinking ship" or "10 things you need to do if you're stuck on a sinking ship" or "You won't believe how this man escaped from a sinking ship".
Everyone in the film industry gets tested multiple times per week, and my impression from what I have read is that film people are taking the virus extremely seriously and avoiding social contact outside work to the extent possible, because a breach could jeopardize the whole production (disclaimer: I have no inside knowledge).

This certainly does not happen for patrons at miscellaneous restaurants.

> most people are responsible enough to take the recommended precautions

Empirically this is not a sound belief, if by “most people” you mean a large enough majority to stop the epidemic from growing exponentially.
Working with Dart now and it looks like it’s straight from the 90’s in a lot of aspects. It is not s bad as vanilla JS but when given a clean slate to design a new platform so many better choices could have been made...
This is unlikely, given how many people are seeing this. And now the problem has gone away for me!
If some insane police officer with no trigger discipline is dumb enough to point his gun at an unarmed child, the child's parents are justified in shooting him dead. If the officer reacts with lethal force, he should be charged with murder.
If you have some time, you can MITM the 802.1x auth packets [1] and use a less crappy router. I run this with a VyOS router and the same 5268ac that you have, but it works with things like Ubiquiti routers too. The only catch is you need three NICs on your router, but a cheap USB 10/100 one will do for the port that connects to the 5268ac.

Another option is getting the 802.1x certificate out of a hacked router, but it's not possible as far as I know on the 5268ac. You could buy a hackable ATT router but they're not cheap. Some sellers even sell the key by itself.

Mysteriously, doing this fixed an issue I previously had where SSHing into AWS would fail.

Of course, in reality, COVID has killed five times as many cops as criminals have. In normal years, traffic accidents are higher risks for them, and many other professions are more dangerous.
I don't get this. What do you mean by coffeescript vibes? They are super different languages...

They all have support. True. However at my gig at my previous Job I have gone many opslead shifts without incidents. In fact most incidents were because someone added something new. During code freeze, we coasted multiple weeks without incidents.

SREs job is exactly this. Prevent future incidents. Prevention is much cheaper than cures (mostly)

If you think computers are used for bad things, just wait til you hear what people do with airplanes and rockets.
When I started my job as an IT director 10 years ago I was in the customer support room and there was one guy who was known for solving all the hard problems. I was standing behind him when he was talking a call. He patiently listened to the client, then loudly typed random stuff on his keyboard for twenty seconds or so, making sure the client could hear the frantic typing, sighed, and then asked “Is it better now?”

It always was.
I would add a marine survival/immersion suit to the list as well.
Yes Dart has generics which is how you would implement optional types yourself. The type of type system doesn't play a role here you are right. I was thinking of the really good pattern matching I have experienced usually being present with structural subtyping.

Dart is considering adding pattern matching (and real tuples!) and I think they will eventually get there. I just think that would have had to come first to make the case of optionals over nullable types more compelling.

I would call that example destructing in the normal sense and it is basically a form of pattern matching. To do that in an imperative language without pattern matching (i.e. what I am calling imperative destructuring), you end up with code like

if (maybeFoo.isSome) {
final foo = maybeFoo.asValue;
...
}

when you really want

if let Some(foo) = maybeFoo {...}
Roughly the same thing that makes running Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) on your computer a better option than running a Google-less version of ChromeOS.
> The "thing" is the variable that holds the "entry".

What does "holds" mean? If holds means actually contains the memory, then I don't see the distinction between "thing" and "entry". They both refer to the exact same piece of memory.

Hardware designers basically started making bad decisions on this issue around the time that VLAN tagging was introduced, as well as harware forwarding of IP packets. When VLAN tags are inserted or removed, the CRC of a packet needs to be adjusted to reflect the inserted, removed and/or modified bytes from the VLAN header. Additionally Both the CRC and IP checksum of a packet needs to be adjusted when TTL is decremented as part of IP routing.

When implementing this functionality, the naive hardware designer will strip the existing CRC from the packet, modify the contents of the packet and then reuse the handy dandy CRC calculation block to place a newly calculated CRC on the packet. Similar choices are made for the adjustment of the IP/TCP/UDP checksums. If any errors are introduced in the contents of the packet by the data path prior to the new CRC is calculated, this results in the CRC being "corrected" to include the erroneous data.

A far more understanding hardware designer will instead calculate how to adjust the CRC by the changes introduced in the packet contents. Sadly, this is far more complicated to get right, and it goes against the drive of hardware designers to reuse blocks of code wherever possible. Every hardware designer working on networking has a block of Verilog or VHDL code to calculate and append a CRC to a packet. Only the most dedicated will attempt to apply only the delta needed to the CRC or checksum.
If I remember correctly, he had to lay in ambush over the airfield where the Me-262s flew from, and wait for one to be at its most vulnerable (on the final approach while landing). Then he swooped down and opened up with his cannon. The speed disadvantage was so large, that he would have no chance otherwise.

But it's a cool answer :)
It seems to be fairly well established at this point that poor ventilation is an issue; spending time around others who may be carrying the virus is an issue; wearing a mask, whether inside or outside, significantly reduces the chance of spreading the virus if you're a carrier. So your guess seems pretty on point. Indoor dining/drinking means being around others without masks in areas where air is circulated rather than fully exchanged, so it's about as risky as you can get short of a church service or choir practice (which has all of those risks but adds "let's project particles from deep in our lungs while singing"). "Spreading events" under those conditions have been pretty well-documented, as far as I know.

So, I'd say Dr. Morrow is aware that some of the restricted business activities drive transmission and he's supporting those restrictions. There are other activities -- like outdoor dining, as long as you're not putting diners in circulation-restricting tents -- that seem to be lower risk, and could probably further mitigate risks by having limitations on group size, dining time, etc., rather than just a point-blank ban. And there are some other restrictions which just seem more like theatre, such as curfews. Do we think coronavirus is nocturnal?

> Should we ignore them, then?

I'm not sure how useful that question is for folks who don't run businesses facing that decision. If I was a restaurant operator, I wouldn't flagrantly flout the local regulations even if I disagreed with them. I'm not, though, and the restrictions that more directly apply to me as a citizen -- e.g., try to stay at home during this surge, don't gather in groups even with folks in your "quarantine bubble" -- don't seem that wildly unreasonable.
Which is then a problem when you try to explain them that yes, you are sure the issue is with their service and not your setup. But what's your reason to be going such lengths instead of just plugging UDM into their router? Unless it was done for the fun of it which is fine and understandable.
A quick note on some liquid fuel stoves/lanterns. If it gets sufficiently cold (-40 in my experience, different brands and seal materials may vary), the rubber seals on the pump can freeze to the point where they stop sealing completely and can't hold pressure.

Since it's a non-evaporating fuel (especially at -40), you won't lose fuel, but you have to warm the seals back up before they'll light.
Yeah, I'd need evidence of God himself to believe we are the only intelligent things in the universe
Fascinating. These problems have been around for years and they are not going away.
Let's agree to be cynical about the motives and results of institutions that are by and large out of control, and to be optimistic about the outcome of our own individual actions.
Honestly, I've typed out a few replies, and I've got nothing.

Basically, I'm saying I don't trust cops because they kill 1,100 people a year. That's it. That's my whole argument. Just 1,100 lives. Every year.

You're saying that's not relevant to what we're talking about and let's look at how European countries seem fine with their more lax evidentiary protocols, legal systems, and trusting cops. Even though their cops only kill 50 people a year (at equivalent population rates).

I really don't have a "better" warrant system to propose other than an adversarial one because at the end of the day I don't trust cops, and you're advocating for a legal system that intrinsically does. This is me saying "hey, blue is actually yellow" and you saying "no, blue is blue." Our perceived realities are too far apart.
There’s a model of software based around shipping events around, and subscriptions between systems. The purposes of separation are at least a couple important, perhaps you know. Each has a DB, often embedded, that is suitable and materialized from the subscriptions and its own; mutated predictably.
Yeah we're missing 2001's lunar hotel and human spaceflight to Jupiter, but killer AI seems on point.

Quadcopter/drone tech seems like it's bringing us closer to Blade Runner's flying cars of 2019, although noise and safety are major issues.
Oh, good to know, I am indeed in SF.
'Belief' is a personal decision, though, right? Is verifiable, data-backed evidence to high a bar? If so, why?
He said generations worth of damage. Come on. It might hurt a kid for her SAT if it was this or next year but to think she would have long term damage from a couple of shitty years of school, that’s preposterous. Kids are made of sterner stuff than this.
I was actually not referring to specifically option types but generally sum types. E.g. inside a function I have a result of (union) type "Integer | ErrorA" in one branch and "Integer | ErrorB" in another branch. ErrorA and ErrorB are completely unrelated types (coming from thirdparty libraries, can't change them).

With union types I don't have to do anything and the return type for my function will be inferred as "Integer | ErrorA | ErrorB". Or if you prefer to work with a result type / either type, then it will become "Either Integer (ErrorA | ErrorB)". In most languages I'd have to make it "Either Integer (Either ErrorA ErrorB)" and also change the function code by lifting accordingly. That's verbose and many times I don't want to do that.
What do you mean by "correct" ? It is correct if you assume the hard lockdown doesn't have any downside.

The lockdown is not necessary in the first place.

In most places, hospital are not overloaded. Even in the event of overload, the correct measure should be to increase capacity, do not admit people with mild symptoms, etc.

Case number are misleading, vast majority of the case are not actually sick or only have mild symptoms.

Better test needed to be identify people who actually sick and need intervention.

If anything the lockdown could cause hospital overloaded due to delayed treatment and nurses being furloughed.

Distributed SQL Databases Solve Scale in the Healthcare Industry
It's working fine, I just checked for both links and files.
It falls a bit into the trap of assuming people operate with a level playing field of information though as other mention in thread it's deeply refreshing to see a public official act with some humility and respect for it's citizens.

Issue is we live in times of asymmetrical informational warfare.

So we can't just provide strong data and recommendations while limiting intervention relative to respecting freedom.

Consider how we decreased cigarette smoking via reasonable science driven laws around indoor rules that impact health of others ... and yes graphic commercials of the health consequence which can only be described as full scale information warfare.

Would need an accelerated program along these lines to regularly show people suffering in this health crisis to help drive / scare people into doing the right thing.

South Korea did have a near perfect compliance in wearing masks outside of your home. I think that’s what helped them keep it fairly under control for such a populous country.

Just to be clear - it was near perfect and not 100%
Of course you will see negative impacts this year. Online education sucks. But assuming kids are back in school September 2022, will there be lasting effects? No. If there are gaps, they will be addressed because all kids will have suffered the same thing, it’s not like the one kid who got mono and missed 3 months of school by herself.
The real feat is to not get your stripe account shutdown and funds held while receiving millions of donations in a single hour.

Not a dig on Stripe in particular, but I always run into trouble with banks and parent processors before the servers start getting overloaded.
Man, Elon Musk is awesome. Just putting the fact that I just downloaded a user manual for a multi planetary spacecraft in PDF format into historical context, if you think about how thus all came together it really is amazing.

We went from "this guy is nuts" to "oh yeah this is probably going to happen." When Tesla first came into public view, the idea that a car entirely electric powered that drives itself developed by a brand new car company was ridiculous to most people. This guy just said it matter of factly and everyone just kinda said OK dude. Then it happened. Then he said that there was going to be a rocket that lands itself, run privately. Then he says that they are going to build a human settlement on mars. Then worldwide high speed satellite internet. Now you can actually get it in some places. Now, they're going to high altitude test this giant rocket that will be able to carry 100 people tomorrow morning.

100 people. That's insane. Everything this guy says he's going to do is insane, the timelines are insane, but now everyone is kind of like "yeah, sounds about right" as if the world has always been like this. In 20 years this guy and all the engineers he hired have done absolutely incredible things that we take for granted. Tomorrow they're going to perform a high altitude test of a rocket designed to take 100 people to mars. I just read a user manual for an interplanetary spacecraft with the capacity of a small commercial airliner. I'm glad to be alive in this age.
What’s a good neighborhood or two in Houston where it’s possible to do this?
CSGO relatively heavily suppresses "user maintained" community servers, the entire experience from onboarding to client launch prioritses the Valve-run official matchmade servers for casual/competitive/etc and any special game modes.

From my experience, I think it is. A non-small part of multiplayer game engineering is to handle latency. With streaming you have none of that, and even if the connection just stutters for a few 10's of ms you will get a horrible playback experience.

Game streaming is most comparable to live video streaming with a frighteningly small buffer (< 10 ms).
>This comes off as dramatic. Like is missing a year of 4th grade going to be a problem for anyone? I barely remember school up until 11th grade at this point. Generations? Why is he saying that?

A year off probably won't have much impact on children with families with the capability to care for and educate them at home. This is not the case for all demographics. For some students, a year off school literally means nutritional insecurity during a time when brains are developing and the only stable environment they have is gone.

My friend is a first grade teacher and has about 5 students who are homeless. It shouldn't be a shock that they are not attending class via zoom.
I think you confuse clarity with oversimplification. Nothing he's written so far makes him sound like a crank.
Overview of ycrash – finding the source of your problem
You haven't proposed an adversarial system. That would involve details, or an example of some country or system that uses one, so we can get the details from there. It's not interesting to simply wish that the warrant process was adversarial, because it doesn't appear realistic to have such a system; you might just as well abolish investigations altogether.

I'm not interested in your feelings about the police killing people, because I share them, and there's nothing for us to discuss about it.

I am interested in the provenance of warrants, because they're central to the actual story we're commenting on.
Not really in the nature of NZ, either. Our cultural heroes often feature a sense of "bugger them" if they're not inventing something.

* Hone Heke, kept cutting down a flagpole to mess with the British

* The Southern Man popularised by a beer company, who prefers the company of his horse.

* The Good Keen Man popularised by Barry Crump, who prefers the company of the hills and his rifle.

* James MacKenzie, a sheep rustler who ended up with a sizable part of the South Island named after him (the MacKenzie Country)

* Edmund Hillary travelling to the South Pole by tractor "accidentally on purpose" when he was supposed to be laying out supplies for a British Lord's expedition.

However, what we have in our culture that the US seems to lack (from my _very_ distant POV) is a slight tendency towards collectivism over individualism.

Maybe it's from our long gone years as a "cradle to the grave" social democracy, maybe it's from the emphasis on mateship.

Maybe it's because we don't really like interpersonal conflict. (How do you know a Kiwi didn't like their meal in your restaurant? We haven't figured that out yet).
A few weeks ago his account tweeted this:

Was this really his opinion?
Of course Rust has a null pointer type. Otherwise, it wouldn’t really be a systems programming language :)

But most users would rarely if ever need to use that type. Option<T> is how Rust deals with optional/nullable values.
Exactly what information do you lack? If you are hungry eat at home. Work at home if possible. Exercise at home. "Live" is too vague to address.
Truly, where do you keep pulling the most alarmist numbers you think you can plausibly get away with from? COVID IFR at 0.5% with exceptional treatment? No, none of the wider more recent data backs this up, and please, don't just take my word for it. The CDC's more recent overview results don't at all back up your claim even though they do state that IFR can vary by region due to demographic and other factors. https://www.cdc.gov/library/covid19/112420_covidupdate.html
This will provide an interesting experiment since San Mateo County and Santa Clara County are adjacent, demographically similar, and are pursuing different courses of action.

But analysis will be complicated by the porous border. There will presumably be even more people coming into SMC from SCC to patronize businesses that are more open than those in SCC.
I've worked for several and relocated, nobody ever tried this. I can't imagine a company being so attractive that it would make sense to stay in such a role under the circumstances.
