Flu was the perfect crisis hiding right under our noses.

Variants have been circulating throughout the population causing a high number of deaths for all of modern history. Now that we’ve encountered a somewhat more deadly and contagious version than normal and the “danger” of this version has been super hyped, we’re quite sensitive to all flu related news, all flu variants, all flu deaths, etc. Confirmation bias at work. We’re now noticing something that was there all along: people die from the flu.

Even if actual flu related deaths reverted to a pre-2020 level, I guarantee it would still be news. People will still be wearing masks, state/local governments will be enforcing mandates, etc.

Couple the above with the fact that a group of bureaucrats have managed to seize an almost dictatorial amount of “emergency” powers, you can bet this isn’t going away anytime soon.
You can use two fans, one on intake, one on exhaust. Or three, if you have a particularly fine filter. But building another whole unit to run in another room might be better.

> The memory buses generate electromagnetic radiation at a frequency correlated to its clock frequency and harmonics. For example, DDR4-2400 emits electromagnetic radiation at around 2400 MHz,” researchers wrote.

The IO clock runs at 1.2GHz, and the data lines run at double that.

As an overview of the issues designing for DDR4, I liked this technical note: https://media-www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/documents...

“Prior to designing the card, it is useful to decide how much of the timing budget to allocate to routing mismatch. This can be determined by thinking in terms of time or as a percentage of the clock period. For example, 1% (±0.5%) at 800 MHz clock is 6.25ps (1250ps/200). Typical flight times for FR4 PCB are near 6.5 ps/mm. So matching to ±1mm (±0.040 inch) allocates 1% of the clock period to route matching.”

> You seem to have relatively clean air already. I probably wouldn't even bother with air purifiers in such a situation.

Everyone should have filters. Filters are for more than dust, they have also been shown to greatly reduce the amount of COVID in the room air. (i would assume flu and other viruses as well). Cheap and easy, with no stupid controversy like masks or a vaccine (even though both are better than an air filter, every little bit helps)
It's not surprising if you're very familiar with how vaccines work, but most people are not very familiar with how vaccines work.

This type of article is exactly what it says it is: a warning. Vaccines aren't a silver bullet and you still need to be a little careful right now. That's really the whole message. If you're already aware, that's great! help inform everyone else.

Not Sweden, but I spent 2 weeks in Iceland and was astonished that everyone there spoke pretty much perfect English. We ate dinner one night at a restaurant in a tiny village in Northern Iceland. Our server was a young man who spoke absolutely perfect American English. We asked him if he had spent much time in the States. He responded that he had never left his village - not even to go to Reykjavik. He had learned all his English just from watching American media and listening to American music. I was absolutely floored.

On another note, my daughter spent 9 months in Sweden as an au pair. I asked her, when she came home, if she learned any Swedish. She said she learned a few words, but everyone spoke really good English so there was not really an opportunity to learn Swedish.

That happened to a far greater degree in the 1930s. There is nothing comparable today. Formal, large, organized groups representing literal fascism and communism were present in the US back then. Those great-grandparents were certainly aware of it. The US is a large and diverse nation - formed of the world's peoples in many regards - and you're allowed to follow almost any ideology you choose. That means extreme, violent statist-type elements - socialist, fascist, communist, theocratic, et al. - will never cease to be present.

A few months ago I read a comment lamenting about all of these "novel" airgap "attacks" that are just all variants on the same theme of "figure out a new side-channel to send data between two complicit devices over". You can use memory module busses, power/camera/keyboard LEDs, fan speeds, ultrasound emitted from speakers...it's not very interesting, at this point.

I bet that I can come up with a new one off the top of my head...alright, how about malware that imperceptibly dims/brightens the screen, which could be interpreted as a 1-bit symbol and picked up even when the screen is facing away from the receiver (by observing the reflection off of a nearby surface)?

See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28394826. These aren't "attacks" - these are methods of data exfiltration between two compromised devices. There are attacks that e.g. steal private RSA keys by capturing the EM radiation during cryptographic operations, but this is not that.
non-invasive devices are way easier to get approved, they are a lot less tightly regulated. you'd be surprised.

It is a pretty simple form identifying the parties in the transaction.

Perhaps with the proper source code, sentience can already be created with existing hardware? I don't think regulation of hardware is a solution to what is fundamentally a software problem.

And mandatory training and financial support to all businesses to move online and remote.
It's worth pointing out that even by most "legitimately" gendered issues relating to careerism, tech caters pretty well to women's needs. A lot of women do, in fact, want to pursue motherhood, and tech is one of the easiest careers to stay involved in during the time-and-obligation demands thereof, rivaled only by a few other careers like writing.

There are many careers (ones that require you to travel, ones that require lots of in-person onsite availability) that genuinely are really tough for young mothers, and it forces a classic feminism catch-22 on them; namely, an unpleasant need to make a choice between seeking fulfillment via having a career, versus seeking personal fulfillment via motherhood. It's just really unfair that one has to choose and can't just do both.

As it turns out, there are a lot of careers where you can have both with no problem; but there are others that are a bad fit. (For an example of a career that fits this really poorly, take truck driving.)
AFAIK you can only nominate one language.

Ireland and Malta didn't need to nominate English (as the UK had done so) so they nominated Irish and Maltese. Now the UK is gone I'm not sure how well that works for them now.

> you have no top talent immigrating, and some top talent leaving... that’s a dangerous trend.

I wouldn't worry too much by that. Is not uncommon to spot some really talented people among immigrants, and people can learn fast in the correct environment. On the other hand sometimes there are fakers among top talented people or some experts lose a lot of shine when moved to a strange/distracting/hostile environment where they didn't grow
That's true, but that still doesn't explain how the chord functions. What makes a "cadential six four" chord cadential? Or more practically-- which second inversion triads are cadential, and which aren't?

To be completist about my criticism here-- the author could stick only to figured bass analyses and give enough examples that the reader/listener starts to implicitly hear the bass patterns, phrase structure, and voice leading that help them differentiate between passing 6-4 chords and cadential ones. Eventually, we've sung enough chorales that we can quickly start parsing these patterns easily enough.

However, the author chose to introduce Roman numeral analysis which is the explicit approach to demarcating how the chords in an example function harmonically. That explicitness is quite useful. E.g.

* the piece begins to modulate using this specific chord as a pivot, specified with roman numerals for both the old and new key

* this second inversion chord gets special notation because it's a cadential six-four which will soon resolve to a V in root position

That would all be fine and appropriate, except that the author then relegates cadential six four chords to an ancillary part of the tutorial. But demarcating cadential six four chords is one of the big reasons to go the route of Roman numeral analysis in the first place! Teaching students how to explicitly spot and notate the difference between passing moments in the phrase and cadential moments for the same exact chord is key to them understanding how phrases of tonal music operate.

In a normal harmony class, the lessons dealing with cadential six four chords make it easier for students to more quickly analyze difficult music. E.g., is the first chord of Wagner's Liebestod a "one six four" chord or a cadential six four? In Roman numeral analysis one must resolve that ambiguity by making a choice. When one does, the structure of that part of the opera becomes obvious-- it's an ending full of little endings, each of which get elided through chromatic voice leading.

You can eventually come to the same conclusion using only figured bass. But chromatic 19th century music can get pretty hairy and so the explicit tool of Roman numeral analysis can come in handy there.

But if you learn Roman numeral analysis without learning about the quite common cadential six four, it strips out one of the fundamental lessons for figuring out how phrases of tonal music build and release tension in time. Consequently, analyses like this become more difficult for no good reason.

It's interesting to see this story get so much attention, since the Helsinki metropolitan area includes Espoo, which actually made English an official service language recently and it's an unofficial one in the rest of the country. All online government services I ever used have English language versions.

You can definitely get by with just English here and have been for a while. In fact, when I first lived in Helsinki in 2000 you had to speak Finnish in some restaurants since the staff didn't speak English, whereas now it's the other way around.

There are however problems with English language primary education: while there are enough English language daycares, there's a shortage of (free) places in English language schools. Hopefully that's something that will be addressed soon, though.
