Oh the horror! I guess they should have googled what would happen if the abandoned the shit slidewalks of San Francisco.
What's going on here is that Amazon, Google, Facebook et al. know much more about us than we know or suspect at any point in time, because they're always advancing and all we can do is react and speculate when and if we notice something.

I suspect that, with the advertising/tracking and hardware/infrastructure ecosystems that they all are growing, they probably "know," or have at least recorded and have it available to analyze with each incremental capability advance, every audio, video and digital utterance and act we have ever committed since $DATE, and on into the future.

Who needs the NSA when you have the FAANG?

> A cloth mask will not protect you against an aerosol

"In unpublished work, Linsey Marr, an environmental engineer at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, and her colleagues found that even a cotton T-shirt can block half of inhaled aerosols and almost 80% of exhaled aerosols measuring 2 µm across. Once you get to aerosols of 4–5 µm, almost any fabric can block more than 80% in both directions, she says."

"Benn worked with Danish engineers at her university to test their two-layered cloth mask design using the same criteria as for medical-grade ventilators. They found that their mask blocked only 11–19% of aerosols down to the 0.3 µm mark, according to Benn. But because most transmission is probably occurring through particles of at least 1 µm, according to Marr and Jimenez, the actual difference in effectiveness between N95 and other masks might not be huge."

Thanks for clarifying, I haven’t studied co-inductive types yet.
My experience with stuff with C-extensions (although not specifically ML packages) is that there is almost always a wheel published for them these days, so pip works just fine and I almost never have to think about if something is pure python or not.

I wish I could say I never had to think about it, though.
How Does K3S Manages Bootstrap Data
Summary given in article

> This attack is mainly because the keeper of the EthCrossChainData contract can be modified by the EthCrossChainManager contract, and the verifyHeaderAndExecuteTx function of the EthCrossChainManager contract can execute the data passed in by the user through the _executeCrossChainTx function. Therefore, the attacker uses this function to pass in carefully constructed data to modify the keeper of the EthCrossChainData contract. It is not the case that this event occurred due to the leakage of the keeper’s private key.

So does this mean, what we consider to be 'valid' on these chains isn't what's represented in the data and execution of the chains/contracts themselves but our interpretation of the spirit of operations? The distributed consensus is still with humans and maintaining trust in a chain depends on deciding with popular opinion.

Another story about the funds being returned highlights that the real world has a significant influence on the goings-on in these blockchains. All this complicated tech is looking less and less different.
what "scientific data" ?
I really think mentoring and knowledge sharing is easier in person.

I am certain heads down work is easier from home. Especially if you have a good setup.

I don’t know how to reconcile this.

A hybrid approach isn’t it because the best (technical) mentoring happens when someone is heads down and gets stuck. Plus commuting some days and not others is hella disruptive to a routine. I need routine to be most productive.
I don't follow this reasoning. An imperfect mask is surely going to result in a borderline contacts with infection being non-infections. The debate is "by how much" and without really clear evidence to the contrary, the precautionary principle wins.

Wearing masks is usually only a minor inconvenience. I'm gobsmacked how it's become such a battleground.
It's fun to pretend and play make believe, but that's not why he was impeached.
I'm not saying that the expense of manual moderation would excuse doing a poor job of moderating, but the top comment talked about spending "millions" on trying to automate moderation as if manual moderation wouldn't cost as much. They're certainly spending many millions on both manual and automatic moderation as it currently stands.

They've spent tens of millions of dollars just settling with the human moderators for their job-related mental health issues https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/12/21255870/facebook-content... .
I've hired a few 50+ devs and every time I regret it. Those specific devs learn much slower. They had a complex about their age that made them difficult to work with and connect with. Their work product was bad and no amount of intervention corrected course.

Being only in a senior role that late in life itself is a red flag.
Don't let Youtube hear you say that
This is unfortunately no longer true. The Fed set the required reserve ratio to 0% last March. They still incentivize holding cash reserves by paying interest to banks roughly equal to what they could get by holding something like commercial paper, effectively giving banks free money since there isn't actually any risk, but they technically no longer require banks to hold any cash at all.

Of course, the Fed allows this because demand deposit accounts at banks are insured by the FDIC, so people will get their money back even if the bank doesn't have it.

Well, there's probably no work for your wife, and the daycare or school are probably miles away. That kind of moves it from "settling down in the countryside" to "getting away from civilization entirely" territory.

(That's speaking in broad generalizations, of course. This isn't the usual case, but there are broad parts of (especially Eastern) Germany that are depopulating rapidly since there are so few job opportunities)

Don't forget to factor in the amount the employer is saving. My employer is now terminating leases on offices. That's a HUGE savings for them. They also no longer have to pay for facility upkeep - cleaning offices, security, mowing grass, clearing parking lots, etc. Companies like Google even have chefs providing their employees food. So they're saving a lot of money by having their employees work remotely - so why should the employees take a pay cut?
My read of the evidence in 2021:

1. Gaiter masks will nominally reduce your odds of getting COVID-19 (viral loads down perhaps 30%), and more significantly reduce your odds of spreading it

2. Surgical masks will dramatically reduce your odds of getting COVID-19 in public settings (e.g. shopping), and slightly reduce your odds in closer settings (e.g. co-habitating, where it's impossible to keep masks on 100% of the time, and where there is extended exposure)

3. KN95 masks will effectively stop you from getting COVID-19, if used reliably, consistently, and in conjunction with other measures like handwashing and social distancing in public health settings. They will significantly reduce, but not eliminate, odds in closer settings (e.g. co-habitating)

4. N95 masks will be marginally more effective as KN95 if used correctly, and about the same if not

All of this presumes authentic masks, and the original variant. I have no idea about delta.
They still have tier 1 and tier 2 equity requirements. This isn’t really analogous.
On the plus side, if you ever move to France, you'll fit right in!
Congrats!!! At second glance I really appreciate the not-notion-ness (which I've tried and failed to use for this particular use case, along with JIRA/"conflusion" and other tools).

I know there's a ton of potential features to develop in the pipeline, and I'm assuming you're using the this internally (e.g. dogfood development) Is there a "roadmap" that can be publicly shared as an example of a real living document?
That's not how this works. You can only compare with the future that wasn't. People may decide all by themselves that wearing a mask is a good idea, mandate or not, and then there is the point that not all masks are created equal, which is the subject of this thread.
But almost no one is wearing the best sort of mask. They're wearing porous cloth masks that stop next to nothing.
Netflix intensifies VPN ban and targets residential IP addresses
Yes, 'nothing'. We are all going to get this virus eventually, with or without vaccines.

And, no. The virus would have killed mostly retired, sick people, initially creating a burden on health systems, then releasing a fair amount of inheritance to younger heirs, and lightening the burden on health systems by creating relatively younger, healthier populations

This virus would have benefited us as a whole, if we hadn't interfered, just as a deer population does better with natural predators around.

But we think we can live forever, and we think we can outsmart nature. Nothing new there.
Yeah, this is screwed-up.

I have been vaccinated, and I always still wear a mask when shopping or otherwise indoors.

But, I don't have the right to tell other people what to do, and YouTube does not have the right to "cancel" an elected senator who is both a doctor and has had covid-19. I think that the Senator is probably wrong about masks, but I support his right to speak his mind.

Corporations that own public forums like YouTube, Facebook, etc. don't get what I would normally consider property rights here - they control public commons and I think that there should be strong government over site that does not allow censoring opinions.
> I don't think this is even misinformation!

Having watched the original, I would say there is a mixture of truth, twisted truth, speculation, and complete misinformation (which is basically what we should expect from any politician).

While it's clear that the messaging he was sending was BAD for people's health, because anything diverting airflow between a sick person and a healthy person helps the healthy person not become a sick person, I truly dislike the censorship being enacted.
Sure sounds like it. Are you doing this for a team or yourself? You can use Clarity in either case, but I’m curious.
I completely agree with this. We need all this to run on renewables. Solar is a good fit because where it’s hot and people need AC there is usually plenty of sunshine as well.

I should have clarified that hot -> AC -> more hot dynamic holds until we have enough solar rolled out everywhere it is needed.
>Because you can print whatever adults in the room decide need to be printed to hold the economy up. You cannot do this with a deflationary digital asset, nor one tied to smart contracts.

Sounds like a feature to me. Printing money is effectively a socialized loss for everyone who's holding the currency.
I cannot find any source files for the FPGA code in the repository (no .v .vhd .vhdl files and I can't see anything by looking around manually). The FPGA directory [1] contains some binaries and some documents relating to commercial code from a Swiss firm [2].

I've seen plenty of projects described as open source when the firmware is open source and the hardware is closed but this is the first time I've seen one where the schematics and board layout are open but the firmware is closed. Note that the hardware itself is quite simple, the smart stuff happens in three modules: GNSS receiver, precision clock and FPGA. To me, the contents of the FPGA source code are the only interesting part of this project. Additionally, you won't be able to meaningfully modify or reuse this project without editing the source code.

The hardware module these FPGA binaries seem to be compiled for is described as an AC7100B, the source given for these is a defunct ebay link [3] [4] :-O This project uses two and half grand's worth of atomic clock and the heart of it runs on a module that fell off the back of a lorry!?

Edit: I realise this comes across as quite negative. This looks like a neat project, one I would actually use, but only if it were meaningfully open source.
Authors: FutureCandy - They want to solve CSAM? I might have a tip for them.
I strongly against mask mandate.

The problem with N95 mask :

- communication barrier, it destroy ability to use facial expression to aid communication.

- uncomfortable

- inconvenience

- not free

- environmental waste

But if someone want to wear mask, I wouldn't stop you as long as you don't force it to other people.
They have money transmitter licenses, which each state issues its own of, not bank charters.
I have heard multiple authors and speakers (while watching various lectures and in papers) say emphatically that no one wants to deal with coinductiion in a type theory unless they ABSOLUTELY must. I'm not sure I've ever seen a concise explanation of the complications that arise by inserting coinductive types into a type theory, but I'll take it as an article of faith that the issues exist. But, the concept is certainly intriguing. Somehow, in my reading on type theory there has been a lack of exploration of instantiation of coinductive types, hopefully the paper by McBride you linked will give me some references to chase down.
I'm not sure what you mean about the Etherium news, without the specific post it's hard to discuss it.

Either way, I find crypto to be difficult to discuss online, in general. Mostly because there seems to be fanatics on both sides. You seem to notice more the ones on the "anti" side, I see plenty on the "pro" side. Not to mention the wrinkle where many people who were early adopters believed in it as an actual currency. Today, many of the "pro" comments I read seem to view it as an investment (i.e. phrases like "hodl").
When I onboarded at Intel in 2005, they had a similar rule called "Disagree and commit." I've generally always followed the same rule, long after I left Intel.

But, to take it a step further: If someone wants to do something a certain way that I don't agree with, I give them my professional opinion, and then I tell them that it's their task, and overall I trust their hands-on opinion more than my hands-off opinion.
I guess that problem just went away with work-from-home though?
That's why we social distance and use other methods. It's defense in depth. Though it seemed that these days we mostly stopped social distancing.
My comment has nothing to do with whether Youtube should have the power to do what they've done. It has to do with the assertion in the GP that it's not misinformation to say unequivocally that cloth masks don't work. That appears to be nonsense since there's a handful of studies that at the very least leave open that question.

Have a look at Fig 3.A from this study:

https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabd3083
Sounds good to me.

Why do neo-goldbugs always try and present this as some sort of gotcha? As an American taxpayer I'm happy to buy into the social contract that it implies.
I've found that "throwing things at the wall" can be very helpful sometimes. It isn't necessarily a linear path from designing a solution -> implementing it in code. Sometimes writing some preliminary code can help flesh out the design. It's a symbiotic process. I've wasted countless hours before trying to design a solution on paper when writing the code out and iterating on the code proved much faster.

And as for how this relates to static v dynamic typing, when I'm roughing out an implementation I much prefer to leave out types.
Viral load during initial infection is also implicated in severity of illness. Blocking 90% of particles can be the difference between life and death for some people.
> Australia is a joke of a country. It's just a Texas with ocean.

Unfortunately it's worse than that, at least Texas has significant fiber infrastructure and quality high-speed Internet, some basic understanding of personal freedom and respect for individual privacy, and low enough property costs and taxes that normal average people can survive comfortably there, not just those blessed with a corporate job. Also in Texas, hobbies aren't banned simply because it might upset some Karens.

Australia is following in the footsteps of the worst facets of China, with also having the worst facets of Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Austral...
Oh, and Tether is holding assets that wouldn’t meet those requirements?

Sorry, wasn’t sure if you meant that as a difference.
>When somebody starts bringing up Bill Clinton and Yugoslavia in 2021, you know who you're talking to. Everyone else has forgotten it.

Perhaps not everyone has forgotten that NATO bombed a civilian passenger train twice and then released sped up footage to justify it/explain it away. And they got away with no consequences.

I can't believe you'd just dismiss people as Russian bots that bring this up.

I think many already have. In fact, there's a long history of looking the other way. New York Times reporters and columnists actively covered up Stalin's atrocities for years.
Some scientists have argued that gaiter masks are worse than nothing: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabd3083

Obviously the jury is still out, but don't you think it's problematic for a platform to just unilaterally decide the truth? It's literally the opposite of science. Science cannot exist without skepticism.

Now if Rand Paul was saying that COVID-19 doesn't exist that's another thing. Saying masks don't work is a statement that requires many qualifications and elaborations. Saying it alone can be both true and false.

Lots of misinformation on YouTube is bad for people and isn't stopped. And I would hardly call Google, YouTube's owners, a "company with a conscience" since nearly their entire business is based on predatory surveillance advertising.

In a democratic society, the elected leaders need to communicate their ideas, however wrongheaded. If they aren't allowed to communicate, how do they reach their electors and how do they tell potential voters they're right (or wrong)? When you are at the platform level like YouTube, you have a responsibility to carry information from the government even if you don't like it because you didn't elect Ron Paul, his constituents did.
No cryptocurrency currently passes the test as a currency in terms of acceptance, transaction speed and stability. So if it's classed rather as a store of value (read investment) then I don't see the difference between it and other investment classes which you need to be a sophisticated investor to access.

Noobs typically need protecting from themselves.
Just wait until the BBC finds out about the Syrian mercenaries that NATO member Turkey brought to Libya

A currency is a socioeconomic compact between capital and labor, intermediated by subject matter experts (ie the central bank) and government.

> Sounds like a feature to me. Printing money is effectively a socialized loss for everyone who's holding the currency.

The economy functioning is of greater benefit to the whole than the value to currency hoarders (remember, it's a currency, it's meant for exchange not for value storage and it is optimized for that role) maintaining its value. If you want to preserve wealth, own property/assets you expect people to trade their time or capital for into the future. People don't buy stonks or bonds for the ticker in their account, they buy the appreciation of the underlying or its cashflow. Most people buy real estate to live in (utility), for the appreciation of the property, or for the rental income cash flow (caveat is folks like the Chinese buying up international property to store their wealth outside of the reach of the CCP).
Are they though? I wear a mask and don't have much of a problem with doing so (although it is no longer required where I live), but at this point I do it because of social pressure, not scientific evidence. So far as I can see, the cloth masks most people wear are of minimal benefit compared to social distancing and avoiding enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation.
Hi HN!,

I am Vishal, Founder & CEO of DrapCode (https://drapcode.com)

We are building a NoCode platform to design, build and launch a web application without writing any line of code. Everything can be done visually by simple drag and drop builder and configurations.

We are providing the capability for DrapCode users to export their web apps (backend + frontend + database) completely and host it on their public/private cloud infrastructure and have a better control on them.

There are a lot of companies/enterprises who do not use any NoCode platform because of data security/privacy, scalability issues, regulatory issues or sometimes the incapability of the platform to provide the features which the user is looking for. In these cases the users have to discard the NoCode platform and have to build everything from scratch, so whatever effort, time, money etc they have invested in building their apps, gets wasted. This fear stops a lot of potential users to even try out a NoCode platform as they start feeling hostage by the platform and there is no way to come out. Currently there is no automated feature of data migration from one NoCode platform to another like it happens with CRM Softwares, HRMS Systems, Email inboxes, etc.

We are allowing users to build their web apps on DrapCode and if at any point of time they feel that they need better control on their apps, then they can host the apps on their infrastructure/servers, modify the code (if needed) and then continue their journey from there. They will not have to start from scratch if they plan to move out for any reason. Infact, we will be going one step ahead and help them in migrating to the cloud platform of their choice.

So basically we are helping them to go from NoCode to ProCode.
We look forward to receiving your feedback on our work. Thank you!
Bad Day at Work Funny Moments Caught on Camera
Took a bit of searching to find Paul’s statement where he claims to have support from studies. Does anyone know which studies these are?

> A Danish study of 6000 participants found that wearing a surgical mask did not significantly reduce a person's risk of COVID-19 infection, compared to the risks facing those who did not wear masks.

> And a Vietnamese study of 1600 participants found that cloth masks allow for 97% penetration of particles. This study also found that cloth mask wearers had a higher rate of infection than the control group who wore no masks.

What’s interesting is this (intentional or otherwise) game being played with terminology. Mask proponents are arguing cloth masks reduce the R0 of the virus and less so about your own personal risk. Mask opponents seem to be saying “but it doesn’t change your own personal chances of infection” which may be true but is a weird way to look at controlling a pandemic. It’s also weird to me that some studies would conclude that cloth masks have a negative impact on your personal infection. Is the theory that coronavirus particles somehow just get trapped in the cloth?
They did say you can run Windows on it if you want to. And Steam Big Picture will work as an Xbox-like UI if you want one.
There has been data showing areas with greater mask compliance have slower infection rates.
