That's basically what it comes down to, for me: if you have an actual process that generates documentation, it will make it fairly clear whether Google is operating in good or bad faith. When all decisions are completely opaque, it's impossible to tell from outside.
Most people (with flu-like symptoms) don't contract influenza in a given year, and the number of cases the CDC puts out each year are comprised mostly of 'suspected' cases.

Between the flu and covid, case reporting numbers are wildly unreliable.

One might ask, what incentives are there to over report a given illness at any given time?
Human behavior is also influenced by messaging. You can’t assume economically rational actors in the real world when modeling actual behavior as people don’t know actual risks etc.

In a non lockdown world where schools are open and attendance is mandatory... well it’s clear to the average person the government doesn’t think people need to stay home. Sure, old people are dying in hospitals but I am 40 so it’s nothing to worry about etc.

However, shut everything down and people get the message that this is serious irrespective of the actual dangers they personally face.
The problem is that at least at some point it was racist, and a bunch of feedbacks keep it that way, with machine learning potentially another one.

> Replace interracial marriage with something like abolish the police. Is the ethical/sane choice still clear cut?

That's easy, if you don't elide meanings:

Abolish marriage (as an institution that is only between two people of the same race) (and replace it with one that is between any two consenting people)

Abolish the police (as an institution that is corrupt and excessively violent) (and replace it with an institution that is accountable and reduces crime with the minimum amount of force)
It's called that because they made it specifically for their grandmother. Do we really need to state that it's going to depend on the particular person and their needs?

Also, that grandmother is _96_. That is not even remotely close to someone in their ~70s. It is also dependent on the person: one of my grandmothers (around 70) doesn't like ipads, and can operate phones a little bit. My other grandma, similar age, loves her ipad.

You're being downvoted because you're treating this like a generalized business pitch, when it's a specialized hardware project someone did for their own grandmother, and gave it a cute name based on their language. If I made something specifically for my grandmother, I might include "bunica" in the name. Seeing as that's what my whole family calls her, and its a way to say grandmother in Romanian, which is a gendered language.

Also, I fail to see how the gender of the word for grandmother here is relevant for the discussion. Grammatical genders (also called noun classes) are not necessarily related to human sexes, but I digress.
This is not computer science. I see nary a reference to data structures or algorithms, or math of any kind.

Site seems down for me. I remember a tool for Twitter where you could automatically engage with people posting positive or uplifting tweets (better known as sentiment analysis). I forget the name of the tool, but it would search for any tweet with a simple smiley like `:-)` plus a keyword that you pick, and it would favorite it, tricking people into thinking your interaction was an 'organic' one.

Over time Twitter naturally would have accounts with nothing but performative anxiety present, as Twitter (at least for me) is more an antisocial network, not a social network highlighting our more positive nature (Think Instagram, and TikTok for contrast).

Why not just grind them up in a vacuum chamber?

Both cheap and fireproof. The vacuum pump will collect all the electrolyte, nearly ready to directly reuse.

Without electrolyte, the ground up batteries aren't very flammable or dangerous.

The rest you can chuck as input into a metal smelter and get back as a battery without too much energy invested.
I've definitely transitioned from being the talent to being the agent. At work, I usually have 3-4 projects that are in my important/urgent quadrant and I spend most of my time making sure other people execute those effectively (on time, on budget , meet spec).

At home with my kids I usually have 4 projects in important / urgent (2 / kid). I'm way more involved in the day to day on these.

Could I do more ? Maybe - especially if I could do something particularly leveraged.

You should conclude "I don't know whether or not these patches were submitted in good faith."

People sometimes submit bad patches. Not all of them are malicious.

I don't think we've fully addressed or explored the scenario where a young, bright-eyed aspiring student coder does in fact make an innocent mistake. And then is accused of deliberate malicious sabotage. And large chunks of the internet also start condemning them for deliberate and malicious sabotage.

What does that say about our community?
I've never seen nano on any popular Linux distro hard-wrap long lines by default. Yes, it's controlled by a setting, and some people turn it on for some reason, but I just confirmed it's off by default (no need for any command-line flag) in both CentOS and Ubuntu. You might have been burned by a setting left behind by someone with a weird taste.
I've sometimes wondered how many signal processing kernels or filter architectures you could learn via SGD given the right data and search strategy. Maybe using something like Neural Architecture Search, so not just the weights / coefficients but the architecture too.

Could it discover an interpolation filter like upfirdn? An IIR Butterworth filter (it would have to be recurrent)? A frequency transfer function derived from two signals?

I imagined that the solutions it found wouldn't be "clean" but have other non-essential operators bloating them. Could it find new architectures that haven't been created from first principles?

Yes, that's the hypothesis of the "There's no Covid-19" crowd that will disappear whenever hospital corridors are filled with dead bodies.

On the other hand PCR test are not inaccurate at all, at least regarding false positives. There are detailed articles and even Youtube videos on the process and if you take a look, you will understand why it's quite accurate.

In essence, they create a reaction that will mass produce specific parts of the virus gene until it's detectable with a sensor. They run the reaction multiple times and then the sensor looks for luminance if I recall correctly.

Because you can't accidentally produce Covid-19 genes, the tests are very accurate. However, you might not get enough virus material when taking the sample from the patient(which can fail your reaction or you might need more cycles than usual to create a detectable amount) or it could be the case that there's a mutation in the gene that you are attempting to multiply, therefore you can get a negative test for an infected person.
Exactly. It's a "sorry not sorry" guilt-alleviation "confessional" for "victim-," social approval-, and popularity-points.

Issues:

1. They took a bunch of VC cash.

2. Scaled big-and-fast, rather than carefully.

3. Decided to throw people who built their business under the bus to squeeze more short-term profits. This is fucking with people's lives in the name of money, and not even close to resembling a social venture with the values of their supposed "creator" customers.

4. Intent on coasting on their laurels to grab and stack more cash.

That dude can GTFO with that BS.
I said that on the first post but yea people kept screaming "ethics" "ethics" haha as if apt groups gave a single fuck about your ethics
Your post comes across as extremely condescending and, honestly, misinformed. You clearly believe that playing video games is a complete waste of time; whereas things like meditation and working on your own project are not. And then you try to layer on things like eating healthy, sleeping, and working out; which are good things in their own right, but serve different purposes that playing a video game does.

I agree that things like WoW and Factorio are not going to help you avoid procrastination. However, they are not, themselves, procrastination any more than working on your own project is, or getting together with friends. WoW has a strong component of problem solving and working together with friends. Factorio is almost all about problem solving. Taking the time away from "responsibilities" to let your mind do other things is also very good for you (see also, meditation).

Taking time to "play" is an important path of a healthy life , and Video Games are almost a canonical example of doing that.
Station FintechMontreal accelerator seeks startups developing payment tech
Sometimes this is a middle or upper management concern that line managers don’t really care about. If you tell your manager individually “I’m going to WFH today” they may be okay with it, even if you do so frequently. But if you do something like a recurring calendar event it raises eyebrows at higher levels.

This is about WFH while still living in commuting range, however. I don’t think you could pull this if trying to live in another state.

Goodbye Dependabot Preview, Hello Dependabot
It makes me the opposite. I hate the idea of Facebook and the damage it's fine, and I don't have an account. That being said Facebook has done some absolutely amazing open source projects (rocksdb, open hardware) and papers detailing the exact technology they use (seaweedfs is based on a research paper they published) so I'm sure a lot of cool tech will come from their adoption
That would make Rust no longer Open Source according to the OSI definition, and incompatible with most other OSS.
Possibly? It depends on whether you think every patch they submitted was part of the research.

> Thus, one of the first things that happened when this whole affair exploded was the posting by Greg Kroah-Hartman of a 190-part patch series reverting as many patches from UMN as he could find. Actually, it wasn't all of them; he mentioned a list of 68 others requiring manual review because they do not revert easily.

> Most of the suspect patches have turned out to be acceptable, if not great, and have been removed from the revert list; if your editor's count is correct, 42 patches are still set to be pulled out of the kernel.

> For those 42 patches, the reasoning behind the revert varies from one to the next. In some cases, the patches apply to old and presumably unused drivers and nobody can be bothered to properly review them. In others, the intended change was done poorly and will be reimplemented in a better way. And some of the patches contained serious errors; these definitely needed to be reverted (and should not have been accepted in the first place).
IoT device management: Why is it important in managing software updates?
I'm currently in a situation where my manager is telling me there is a noticeable change in my productivity (for the better) and she thinks I am a better overall employee when I'm remote. Those above her in the food chain however don't see it that way and are eager to re-fill the offices as quickly as possible without getting sued. As it stands she's telling me the best she can do for me is allow me to WFH 2 days a week, under the condition that those 2 days aren't consecutive.

The point I'm trying to make here is that sometimes it's not up to your direct report and you're at the mercy of decisions made by some suits you've never even met before. More fully remote opportunities are popping up on the job market though, and thats something all 3 aforementioned parties are aware of.
Short answer: In the U.S., 12 standard deviations.

In the U.S., deaths were 16%-17% higher than expected. The death rate was 17.8% higher than in 2019. Excess deaths were higher in 1918, but every other year since 1900 is lower.

Using 1946-2019 as our sample, the average yearly change in death rate is -0.2% with a standard deviation of about 1.47 (percentage points). The biggest increase in this year range was 3.1% (2.2σ).

If we go back before the antibiotic era, the biggest one-year increases are in 1918 (29.3%) and 1929 (7.2%). Note that statistics before 1933 don't include all states.

For some other ways of looking at the data, here's an economists blog post: https://economistwritingeveryday.com/2021/01/06/excess-morta...

(He was writing in January, so had less complete stats.)
FB are large enough that they do a ton of their own very low level work - up to and including things like their own bespoke datacenter switches and SDN platform, stuff which is almost wholly distinct from what their core product is. (https://engineering.fb.com/2019/03/14/data-center-engineerin...)

It seems entirely possible that, even putting aside the PR, they're concerned about making sure a robust modern systems language stays around/thvives so that they have a robust modern systems language to use.
Also, I guess milk is not a very good example because the government has a minimum price set on milk, at least in Quebec.
Every community has a baseline mortality rate during "normal" times. During abnormal times like pandemic, famine and war, more people die than usual, but often the cause isn't known.

If you subtract baseline mortality from actual mortality to get excess mortality, that's often a better estimate of the casualties from pandemic, famine and war than the death certificates for every person who died.

Excess mortality in most countries shows that Covid deaths are significantly under-reported.

And if there are fewer deaths from flu, and fewer from suicide [1], then excess mortality itself is under-reported and Covid killed even more than we thought.

Perhaps the corona virus is asymptomatic for some people (as is known to be), and the effects they are feeling are from the flu. How many people get a false positive (or true positive that would otherwise be asymptomatic) while also being positive for the flu?

Maybe corona virus is an enabler of some other disease, like a particularly virulent flu or some other respiratory infection.

This questions are inconvenient, so they'll go unasked by the media, let alone answered.
I don't know which brand you looked at but I'm pretty sure Chromebooks support fingerprint login for some time now (check this HP support page for ChromeOS for instance [0]).

But I agree with the overall tone of what you're saying and I have the same kind of problem with my parents. I think the movement away from common protocols just made it worse, before you could have a simplified client just for the elderly or any other "niche" group and it would work, now if you do something like this for Whatsapp or Instagram you would probably receive a cease and desist letter.

I haven't seen this with any other EV maker's chargers but Tesla sells an adapter kit for it's 2nd Gen Chargers.

They have a 14-50 but there isn't a TT-30R however they have a 5-20 which can be mated to 5-30 with a passive adapter. Not ideal but better than nothing.
Rough guess: In the inauguration blog post[0], a yearly budget of $1mil was mentioned, when there were 5 founding members (so $200k/year/company). I am not sure if the distinction they make on the "Members" page between "Founding Platinum" and "Platinum" has any practical implications, but I guess that new members might have to pay a premium. So possibly +$200k/year/company for Platinum level.

A Major Instagram Bug?
this baffles me, ive recently stubled across this account by the username of pgtalal, the account, on iphone, when you click the highlights and tap to the second story it seems to crash my phone, im quite confused on how this was done and im guessing its some sort of binary exploit, i dont have much experience in that feild but i would like to discover how this works, my first guess would to look at the internet traffic of the iphone and try go from there, but im having trouble bypassing the ssl pinning right now, so im thinking of having a look at the same account on andriod where it doesnt actually crash the phone. secondly, my idea would be to do some sort of debugging? once again i dont have much experience in this feild and i do understand that alot of apps have protection against debugging such as snapchat, anyone have any ideas on how id wrap my head around this would be appreciated!
