In general, respiratory viruses tend to get less severe over time. With this mass vaccination approach it may not turn out that way by some accounts I've read.
Yet NY declared a state of emergency already?! Crying wolf, on repeat, for … two more weeks, I’ll guess.
I do wonder if DCOs (much less susceptible to drift) would be more amenable to analog FM, though they were not common for musical instruments during the DX7's early R&D phase.

That said, it seems like music manufacturers were searching for a musically useful, cost-effective digital synthesizer around this time.
Early digital synths like the Synclavier and Fairlight CMI were prodigiously expensive, while analog synths in the DX7's price range were saddled with few/no polyphonic voices and/or limited single oscillator designs.
The DX7, with a varied tonal palette and 16 voices, must have seemed luxurious at the time.
A similar thing happens with boats --- the rudder only has an effect when water is moving past it, so it's more difficult to maneuver when moving slowly.
I rode in a Tesla for the first time yesterday and apparently drivers are putting up with with a constantly flickering, incredibly glitchy rendering of the car’s knowledge of surrounding objects being juggled around like hot potatoes on the huge display panel. Would you prop up a full size iPad Pro on your dashboard as you drive, playing a YouTube highlight reel of Russian dash cam near-misses? No? Then why would you simulate that experience with these grey ghost cars, of which, in the 20 nauseating minutes I watched them, every single one appeared to be an imminent collision, poking into our lane?

I hope Tesla is internally in shambles leadership-wise, because I would hate to be the person that gave the green light to shipping that and not be able to blame it on endemic dysfunction. What a farce.
Why do you say "excuse for another lockdown"? Are you implying that someone in government has alterior motives to desire a lockdown?
Yeah, just look at the average office phone, e.g. [1]. Almost nobody knows what all those buttons do, and when you can press them. Just give me a touchscreen like I have on my smartphone!

No; we can introduce a (remqual "") element or similar to the (flow ...) pipeline after get-lines to achieve that. The numbers become: 66.06, 79.61, 105.89. Different, but not by much.
This is what we were aiming for so I'm super happy to see confirmation of that :) Ken is a true wizard.
> The world is finally coming to terms with the realization that transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is airborne

It's funny. The world is definitely a place we are willing to let 5 million people die. But we are definitely not allowed to have a single study where we have 1 definitely infected person stand in an air sealed room for 1 hour 6 feet away with someone not infected. Don't get me wrong, I have been wearing a blue 3M N95 mask since late April 2020 while around people - but a video of such a study showing definitive transmission would have shut down the entire mask hate early.
Yes, Qubes provides security with virtual machines. You can compartmentalize you dev environment further: develop different things separately and use disposable virtual machines for most untrusted stuff. Also, you can simultaneously harden your development VMs.

So the real difference is between collecting preorders for something you MAY be able to fulfill in the near term vs something that you may be blocked from selling for an indeterminate amount of time.

Starlink will eventually be legal in India, but it could take decades. In this sense, there's no real difference between "avoid selling things until you can provide those things" and "avoid selling things until you are allowed to sell things". It's just that a normal person has a cutoff point where it becomes an unreasonable wait.

There's a lot of examples of this sort of thing.

1. C++ uses the equivalent of an Arc in Rust, because it can't tell if that reference will be shared across threads. In Rust you can use an Rc and, if you ever need an Arc, it will tell you.

2. Rust's `&str[..]` is safe, C++'s string_view causes tons of UAFs, so string_view is used much less frequently whereas &str is ubiquitous in rust code. In general you can share stack space in Rust easily, even across threads, which is incredibly powerful.
This agrees with my intuitive impression of everything I've read on Covid-19: that the primary transmission vector is through the being in unventilated or poorly ventilated enclosed spaces with an infected person for ~15 minutes or longer.

I definitely feel like neither governmental policies or people's individual precautions and behaviours quite reflect that reality.

Anyone interested in following this line of thinking should look into Orthotropics[1] and Mike Mew.[2] A key insight is that bones are modeled not only according to a genetic program, but also in response to pressure - they move so as not to clash with one another, and reinforce themselves to deal with more demanding environments / greater pressures.

Personally I grew up with difficulty breathing through my nose, and didn't realize until my 30s that I had an undiagnosed tongue tie[3]. I've been applying orthotropic practices for several years and now breathe easily through my nose.

[3] It was noted a few times over my life by dentists, but in the form of noticing the symptoms of the issue, such as a tongue thrust swallowing pattern. In my case, my breathing was restricted, but an ENT could not see why - my best guess as to why was that my airway was constricted front to back (ventral to dorsal).

Took the kids a couple of years ago. It was a hot, crowded and expensive misery.

I asked for our money back. I was assertive but not an asshole. Aaaand... They upgraded our bracelets to skip-every-line. Yep, that was pretty good.

That evening, while waiting for the Uber Minnie Bus, a couple of senior customer service people asked about our day. I told them straight up, no embellishment. Aaaand... They gave us a skip-every-line upgrade for Epcot the next day. Also pretty good.

Needless to say, we are never going back.

No.

Carriers routinely back haul GPS data and angle data to geo locate users. At the time this information was batched nightly against transaction data provided by credit card (and other) partners in order to build customer profiles that can be marketed to advertisers.

Carriers in the USA provide this data to law enforcement for fees. This is a profit center at the carriers that I've worked for.

Some countries limit the commercial exploitation of this data, some require judicial involvement. I don't know of any country that does not avail themselves to this data.

Not the first time he's been loudly wrong. It really depends on the semantics of the code in question and not on the absolute line length anyways. I've seen 30 character lines that are hard to parse, I've seen 120 character lines that I don't really think about at all.
It's easier to make a villain out of McKinsey than it is out of Congress. While it's true Congress is universally disliked, the discussion devolves into opining about my-team-versus-other-team, even though teams spend a great deal of time with lobbyists and fundraising. And even that point faces the critique that "both sides aren't the same", which sure, they aren't identical, but the means for securing influence are the same. None of us have pre-conceived notions about how to 'fix' McKinsey in the way we would with Congress. How to implement preventative measures that would block deeply unpopular policy from becoming law in the first place conjures discussions of first amendment rights.

I had turbinate reduction after a series of never-ending sinus infections. Lessened the symptoms somewhat, didn't abate. Went to an allergist, found out I was allergic to pretty much everything outside, went on immunotherapy for 5 years, haven't had a sinus infection yet. Best thing I ever did for my health.

That's how they operate now due to developed nation pressure. They don't want us developing if their companies can't profit from it.

My country once banned imports so that national industry would be forced to develop. The Lua programming language exists because of this policy. Also, plenty of companies would either license or reverse engineer and clone foreign products. Now my country is some kind of globalist hell. It's painful to see in legal doctrine ideas straight out of WHO, IMF, UN, etc.

It's so disgusting it makes me wish China success despite their repressive state. They have an amazing strategy: entice the west to hand over intellectual property on silver platter, develop industry, get rich and then, who knows? We'll have to watch to see what their end game is.

I wonder to what extent coffee is an association rather than an actual antecedant of productivity. This is more evident with nicotine for example, where the addicted user will tell you all sorts of hogwash about how great smoking is, how they have the best converstaions with people when smoking, how they love the sound the plastic wrap makes when it comes off the packet, how they wrote their novel while chainsmoking etc. In reality they come to associate relief of their nicotine cravings with whatever they are doing at the time.

Nicotine and caffeine probably do have some cognitive benefits (my understanding is that the effect for nicotine is there but minimal), but they are likely to be quite exaggerated. There is also quite a lot of variation in caffeine metabolism, and this no doubt has an impact on the perception of its effects. Some people down 6 cups of coffee a day and are fine, whereas I would be incarcerated for amphetamine abuse if I had that much.

Tried to buy 3 songs from a particular artist on Apple Music and for some reason, my Mac got the downloaded music and can play it but my iPhone refuses to recognize any of my purchases tracks despite being logged in the same account. Ended up pirating then tracks even though I had also paid for them already.

This is because they lack the main advantage of L5 an PP: all free drivers allowing to run mainline Linux kernel (or install other operating systems) and therefore guaranteeing lifetime updates. Lack of planned obsolescence and verifiable security. Same with the other hardware.

As a less all-or-nothing scenario, one relevent concept comes from Joseph Tainter as a theorist of collapse. He proposes that eventually complexity reaches a point where it not sustainable (either in general or at the margin), and a society collapses back to a configuration of less complexity.
That doesn’t seem to hurt Disney World at all.

There are dozens+ papers like that specifically focused on mm-wave stuff, "passive" localization/identification/sensing. Gait doesn't go far enough to describe it. It's basically the equivalent of face recognition tech but in the mm-wave spectrum with standard router hardware.

The various mm-wave bands being used in 5G (and being proposed for "6G") are much more dense (spatially and information theoretically) than the < 5GHz bands, but sparse enough compared to visible light that many obstacles are quite translucent.

mm-wave antenna arrays are kinda just big low frequency eyeballs.

Ah yes, thanks for pointing that out… this is so new that while the app is working great the website is not fully functional yet. There was a working version on the lab version of our site; we just pushed a change to the main site so the button works now. It just takes you to a sign up form.

All valid points about hashes being nothing new, etc. We used blockchain because it was a means to accomplish what we feel is a better way of digitally signing documents. We think there’s value in signing docs on the blockchain and that there’s a need for an easy way to do so, largely among people who are doing other things within blockchain.

We are not claiming there’s no other way to skin that cat. I understand why you might run the other way if someone’s claiming their app is great because blockchain. But I also don’t think it’s true that any app that uses blockchain technology adds no value because you could’ve used another technology or simply because blockchain.

The same difference between seeing an apple with your own eyes right in front of you, and the memory of having seen an apple. In the first case, the apple has a specific colour, shape, size. In the second case, it's just the idea of an apple. Many people can conjure vivid imagery as if seeing the object right in front of them, or at least so I understand. I can't.

Sorry if I can't explain it better, our own minds are so unique it's not easy to explain concepts like these with words. I have written and deleted this comment half a dozen times, I can't do better than this.

While Six Flags does have a lot of coasters, I went pretty frequently as a kid and there were plenty of rides for younger kids, probably 8+.
That's weird, if you're extremely rich, couldn't you just set up an LLC and employ yourself? And then you can give yourself health benefits :) I thought most of these guys do this stuff anyway for all the tax breaks.

I know all the self-employed and entrepreneurs in the Netherlands do this, they all have "BV"s and "Holdings" so they pay less income tax.
Obviously the rich elite that owns the majority of shares and controls the world governments want to self-mutilate by cratering the market again, so they get to "control" the population with lockdowns. Thank god we have Facebook groups to clue is in to all this.

IT isn’t software development and software development isn’t IT. I consider IT to be help desk, support, systems administration and generally solving problems related to supporting systems. Software dev is creating some of those systems, maybe as products that the company sells.

Starting in IT and moving to software dev works (firsthand exp) but if you want to do software development then go for that. Like others said if you have a few projects in a portfolio that would help but you have to get past screeners, HR, etc. My suggestion would be to find local dev meetups, groups related to the language you are learning. Networking will get you pretty far, a boot camp accomplishes the learning and networking parts but at a cost. Also building web applications and knowing basics of deployment will be needed to get into dev job, I’d say focus on that using a mainstream language and framework and it will make things a d little easier.
If your number separators are every 3, then it feels weird. If it's every 4, then it does not. Change numbers into 1, 10, 1000, 1'0000 and then it doesn't feel like it's going against your writing habits.

So I work for a FAANG company and I worked on a tech partnership with Disney. To Disney's credit, they are INCREDIBLY understanding about the need for all families to have a good day at the park. They spend a lot of money on R&D for finding ways to track how many rides people have been on and what is the appropriate amount of time in between rides, etc etc.

One the technologies they were developing was to have a system monitor everyone's experiences and if they found someone who's experience metrics were too low they could send a cast member out to find the family and give them a skip the line pass or meal voucher. They also knew what was the most common hour for kids to have meltdowns and strategically send out juice/snack vendor carts out around that time. This is what just what they shared with us, so god knows what else they know.

IIRC they said 6 rides was the ideal number for a family to say they got their money's worth.
