I have on my phone-answering recording just the tones (http://www.k3pgp.org/telezap.htm) that specify that the line is not in use followed immediately by the terse command "Leave a Message". That is all, nothing else.

I only call back people who have left a message. These days there are very, very few of those.

It's quite fun to hear the phone ring, then the tones and 'Leave a Message', followed by "beep, beep, beep, beep ..." as the autodialler disconnects at the other end.

On my mobile phone, if the call is shown as from "No Caller ID" or a plain phone number (which indicates that it is from somebody not in my contacts list), I let it go to voice-mail. Once again, no voice-mail left means no call back from me.

Flu is kinda like COVID: a significant percentage of infections are without symptoms.

Lots of estimates, I usually see it as around one-third of cases having no symptoms: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2646474/

I’ll take a slight leap and guesstimate this means a lot of flu infections are around the symptom level of a mild or bad cold as well.

When you know you have the flu, it’s probably the flu, but it’s much harder to self-determine that you don’t have the flu.
I don't think people are going to like this reply mate. :)

Are you referring to the quantitative side? You can simply buy the antibody standard and sVNT test kit from Genscript. You can get a 96 test kit for under $3k. We have it and it works quite well.

> My 15-year old daughter just recently got her first desktop. Why? Well, because instead of just consuming (which she does on her phone) or doing homework (chromebook), she wanted to do video editing, and also drawing using a Wacom tablet. She found that the non-desktop options were just not that great.

My about-to-be-a-college-junior daughter has been creating for years on an iPad, and she's pretty good at it. She's transferring to VCU this fall for their graphic arts program and we just set her up with a new MBP and a Wacom Intuos. She started to practice on it but finds the experience of the external tablet and viewing an image on screen much less appealing than drawing directly on her iPad.

For certain tasks, the iPad is superior input device.

Maybe someday the iPad won't be hobbled by iOS and it will be fully suitable for desktop tasks too.

Thank you. In retrospect, I had a feeling something was off about my thinking, but I couldn't articulate where. Importance and profitability are different domains. They might penny pinch weather reports, and risk management probably characterized it as "low risk, high impact", saw "low risk" and underinvested.

In music production, during the 80's and 90's there was a gradual switch from hardware studio equipment to DAW software, as computers became more powerful.

But in recent years, many musicians decided come back to stand-alone hardware devices, there is even a term for this: it's a "dawless" setup.

The most commonly mentioned reason for this is "I want a distraction free environment", or something along the lines of "I don't want to create music on the same device where I receive social media notifications".

To me, devices like reMarkable are basically responding to the same need, but in a different field (note taking as opposed to music production).

I wonder if this could become a more general trend, where people at least partially move away from general purpose devices.
I was clarifying your point, you were saying positive gdp didn’t imply positive economic growth… or size of economy but it does. So what was your meaning?
When an airline has a crash, its stock price drops 1.58% that day on average. [0] Southwest's stock is down 0.28% today, and it looks like most of that drop happened immediately after the market opened, well before this incident, and may be related to today's stocks being down 0.21% overall. At first glance it appears that investors are entirely unconcerned with this delay.

For whatever reason, we as a society have decided that airliner crashes are scarier than car crashes. Just like we've decided terrorism, nuclear energy, and self driving cars are scarier than they actually are. Should we be this way? Probably not, but this is the way the world is.

Same with naming in code.

Names do become misleading. Of course making callstack deep enough, will hide that.

Code reviews have same power to rectify both: naming and comment issues.
Haven't been to Austin lately, but this was my experience in Denver.

It felt... like everyone from the Midwest in their 20s had moved to a city, to live what they took from their childhood TV to be a "hip" life, which developers therefore supplied in the most cost-effective way.

Not to say that it isn't a hoot, or the food is bad... but it just had a "paint hasn't dried yet" weird new feeling to me.
This is fun. a bigger field maybe even more!
I think you can take an antibody test, if you had Covid (and assuming you didn't get the Covid vaccine or real Covid later), you should show signs of antibodies.

I'm not sure why you assume people will always take on debt for purchases. I've never taken on debt to purchase anything, not once in my life, and I'm doing just fine. I own everything I use. I have my own business and never had to take out a loan. My wife runs her own business without ever having taken a loan.

I don't know if I necessarily disagree with you about a fixed money supply being bad, but I don't think you provided enough information for me to agree with you either. With a fixed money supply, the FED would be less able to 'manage' the economy, but I think this being bad stems from your argument about money creation and debt.

There are other ways for the FED to manage the money supply that have fallen out of favor as they aren't 'free market' enough, like credit/window guidance. That was formally implemented in Japan and led to their most prosperous era, all the way up until incompetence / malfeasance ruined their economy with lending quotas that had to be met, causing their asset bubble in the 1980s. Window guidance also works as an informal/cultural mechanism in Germany and is one of the reasons for their industrial success.

Seems like basic data security to me. If my credit card number (valuable data) is posted to the dark web I have to assume someone will use it and it's insecure. Google has the data, so they can now use it whenever they decide it's valuable. Until I have evidence that it can't be used, I have to assume it's insecure.
IMO the trouble starts all the way back with "So people start buying it, because it's going up". That's speculation. And it uses up some of the wisdom of the crowd rather than contributing to it.

Obviously software developers.

If I would not be a software dev I would ditch laptop/computer and go with mobile phone alone. For day to day reading/banking/mailing all I need is there.

I think I could go full mobile phone if I would have cloud server + cloud IDE because I can connect big screen to the phone with mouse and keyboard anyway. Only dev tools are not really accessible on Android/IOS.

Having everything I need to work on single device that allows me to jump on the plane and go anywhere, that is great idea. Well maybe I would need to carry a keyboard and mouse but I hope that screens will be available in every hotel room/office space with option to connect with a phone.

The problem with you Murray Rothbard types is that you all too readily descend to panglossianism when evaluating market outcomes.

It's no great insight that markets are generally the most efficient means of allocating resources. However, it's also no secret that greedy individuals will gleefully extract economic rents from their monopoly over resources when they feel free to do so.

And... about bloody time IMHO. There's a reason tools like FrontPage and Flash were so popular - those tools made the internet available to millions of people who aren't into tedious coding.
Definitely worth looking at BSDs. For servers they are a no-brainer (as is illumos) but GhostBSD is also quite nice desktop ready edition of FreeBSD with GUI installer and all. Been trialing it at $work for general desktop use instead of linux and it seems to run pretty good on quite new hardware as well.

I often weigh the value of comments -- I used to write more, now I write fewer -- by weighing odds of utility against decay into misinformation. Comments conveying something of high utility that is fundamental to the program and unlikely to change make the cut.

I save most of my remarks for commit messages, which are understood to be contemporaneous. This method requires the average commit message quality be high, otherwise, people are unlikely to think to run blame on the file, even though most text editors can do so effortlessly.

This is unlikely as humans aren’t the only hosts for influenza. Almost all can infect birds and most can infect pigs. Probably some other humans too. And jump between eachother and humans.

We might have the same issue with COVID: vaccinating all humans may not eradicate it if some animals serve as natural reservoirs (mink maybe? Ferrets?).

My interpretation of their intent is they will no longer name suspects in "florida man" style stories. Like, really, nobody needs to know that it was specifically 30 year old resident Pimble McGringleberry who lives on 1234 S Main St, nowheresville, arkansas was the lady who was throwing office chairs off the top of the target parking structure.

The person is presumably dealing with the aftermath of whatever caused them to be in the news in the first place. There is no reason to give internet users a rope, or 6 lines by the hand of the person to hang them with.

I think this is a positive move and hope to see more of it.

I'm saying it from the perspective of someone who has been stranded at an airport. It's very easy to chill tf out for a while and wait in line for a while at the service desk to see what you've got to work with. You're not dying, it's not literal fight or flight. You're just stuck for a while.

> Your points are valid, but I think the irony is your expectations aren't reasonable.

I don't think it's reasonable to scream at service reps, which I guarantee will happen to nearly every single Southwest rep today. I've seen it so many times.

And it's the people who are confused why the customer service lines are jammed, those who are irrational, who are more likely to be the screamers. That's mainly who my comment was directed at.

Not sure that they do. They could, but I don't know of any significant video editing plugin ecosystems on iOS. Stuff's too rich for my blood—$200 to make overlay text look a certain way? $400 for a noise-reduction algo? Not for me and my casual stuff. Again, if you want actual pro software, you're looking at one of a couple desktop application vendors, that's true. If you're looking for pro-tier software for home use, and learning that pro-tier software is your main goal and/or you actually need what it can provide, then you're probably talking Adobe Premiere, specifically, and yeah, that's desktop only (and about $250/yr). If you just want to learn the process and techniques of non-linear video editing and put together (potentially quite good) edited videos or films, the iPad's capable enough (with the benefit that, in the original use case posted here, it's also a damn good drawing tablet and you can use it to shoot your videos, too, again, if you don't have actual pro-level needs), but I wouldn't argue it replaces a desktop with Premiere, for a bunch of reasons including that everyone assumes you've got Premiere (and often Aftereffects, too) available, when it comes to plugins.

This was our experience with existing low code or code generating design tools as well – you actually have to put a lot of time into learning how to use them, time you could spend on learning actual React.

One of our guiding principles was that people who use Utopia should not need to learn anything that is proprietary to our platform.

Well, kinda.

The actors have different playbooks. America's is "get in as quietly and as targeted as possible, and make the damage look like random equipment failing." Which makes sense. If they wanted to do value targeting at a wide scale they'd use a nuke or what have you. The mobility the domain of cyber gives them is deniability and operational security, not capability since they can basically bomb anywhere on the planet in under an hour. The dragnet stuff is done via MITM attacks or with friendlies like telcom and tech companies.

With the DPRK it's completely different. They don't have multiple points of access on the global internet. They don't have the worlds best military jets or satellites. Sure they have a few nukes, but they can be intercepted, so getting access to critical infrastructure is something they would value in the first minutes of a war with America.

But I agree with your overall premiss. In cyber you can't get a completely accurate idea of how backdoored your systems are. There is more observability here than people give credit for, because we hack the hackers to figure out their access levels then monitor the intruded on systems, but ultimately it's unknowable just what percentage of our systems are compromised and even if we could somehow know the degree of compromization, it wouldn't matter because a previously unused, wormable 0day could infect whole classes of systems we thought were secure.
Honestly the .info is the most frightening.
As someone who has taught intro calculus a few times, one reason for the emphasis on computational techniques is simply that 90% of the students in such a class do not care/are not capable of grasping the epsilon-delta definition of the limit.

Solution: spend more time on epsilon-delta so that students have time to wrap their minds around the idea. But I think the engineering departments would complain that the students who we send on to them cannot do basic computations. Also students would complain that we spend too much time on theory and not enough on application. There are probably other reasons that someone more experienced would know about.
> If police is corrupt and want someone to disappear they just won't create arrest records

Departments routinely doing this get caught. (They have.)

Of course if it’s corrupt all the way up you’re screwed. But the aim is to create grappling points for the Feds and state Attorneys General on e.g. city cops. Showing a pattern of undocumented arrests or of the arrested going missing is easier when arrest records are public.

It’s a tradeoff between the power of the state over the public versus the power of the public over itself.

I’ve found the disorganization of writing is actually a benefit. I have a remarkable and I put almost everything in a single organizational notebook. There’s no pressure to do things right, no fretting about space or making clean shapes, just thought dumps and open notes.. which I condense down later on a computer if I ever decide I actually want to “go forward” with an idea. Works for me given I feel a friction with long term cleanly organized notes that sometimes inhibits the process altogether.
"Sicker than you've ever been" isn't a medical diagnosis.

I got absolutely royally fucked up by influenza and "sicker than I've ever been in my adult life" -- and I'm 49 -- but it was Jan 2019 not Dec 2019, so I'm pretty certain it wasn't COVID.

Probably 5% of the population every winter gets "sicker than they've ever been in their adult life" with some horrible influenza/bronchitis/pneumonia.

If everyone who got "sicker than they've ever been" in Dec 2019 were actually sick with COVID then January would have decimated long term care facilities around the United States. Instead you can't see any upward trend in excess mortality in Jan. If anything Jan and Feb were slightly low and the trend doesn't become apparent until late March.
