I would expect the FDA to push back against individuals doing throat swabs with an at-home test kit -- the organization approved these tests based on a specific testing protocol (nasal swab). The FDA won't offer alternative protocols until they've looked at test/trial data.

In the example you don't make a copy.

You buy a physical book (also called "a copy of the book"). You don't make the copy, you buy it from a legitimate seller.

Then you can modify that physical book, and sell it again.

If you want to sell a second one of the work you made, you need to buy another physical book (another "copy of the Hobbit"), modify that physical object in the same way, and sell it again.

You would own the copyright to your changes, so no one else could modify "the Hobbit" the same way, and no one else could publish instructions on how to do the modifications yourself.
Just the opposite. "Workers are getting sick in droves" would be analysis, and not appropriate. And if you read the article, the article wraps up with information that counters your claim that NPR is pushing an agenda about workers.

I think people are so accustomed to clickbait-y headlines, they see an agenda in the headlines of an organization that actually practices strong journalistic standards and plays it "safe" with its headlines, saying less than more.
To the video hardware, LCDs are raster displays, and receive information in line scans and frames over time just like CRTs, even if it's a digital signal. You can have V-sync on or off (complete with screen tearing) just the same.
My kids play bedrock because it's cross platform (mostly) and they can play on the switch, PC, tablets, etc.

I wish they could use the Java version to do that, because bedrock is awful in a lot of ways. Microsoft seems entirely focused on merchandising, paid DLC, and driving users toward their paid server offerings. The game itself feels like it has been largely in maintenance mode for a long time, other than the recent caverns update.

It blows my mind when I think about how much money Minecraft must be worth, and how big MS is. Compare that to an indie game like Terraria, Stardew Valley, or Factorio and the difference in quality is night and day.

That doesn't sound right. I've pre-ordered a game via Steam and gotten it refunded after launch many months later. For pre-orders, the refund clock starts ticking at launch...unless the game includes early access.
> An employment would be one way.

How so? All employment arrangements I've been involved in paid based on time that was previously worked (like, paid monthly for previous month), with the pay being for the clear, partial, progress that is shown during that time that I worked. I've never been paid, in anywhere near full, for time I will work in the future, or progress I will make. I've never seen as employer that pays, in full, for to-be-completed work. This seems extremely risky. Do you have an example?

In the US you also get 8 tests per person per month covered by insurance. It's not ideal, since you have to buy them and fill out a reimbursement form, but it's not like this is the only way we can get tests.

My family isn’t sick, but so many of my kids classmates and teachers are sick with Covid that they had to switch to all remote learning, right now just for this week. This has caused me to have to call in sick.
Thanks again for the detailed response.

> Have a look at what gVisor actually does

I am aware of what it does, though I had missed the fact that the Sentry and/or Gopher run within a user-ns (could not find this in the docs). Had also missed the fact that it does perform procfs/sysfs emulation (makes sense), so I stand corrected on that. In light of this, I'll modify the Sysbox GH table to show gVisor as having a stronger isolation rating (in fact, our Sysbox blog comparing technologies [1] did give gVisor a stronger isolation rating).

> the sysbox approach is one kernel bug away from host system compromise

All approaches are one bug away from host system compromise (gVisor, VMs, etc.), though I agree that approaches like gVisor and VMs have a reduced attack surface.

> I've read numerous claims that sysbox is suitable for untrusted workloads

It's not a black or white determination in my view. Users choose based on their environments & needs. We always make it clear to our users that VM-based approaches provide stronger isolation, per the Sysbox GH repo:

"Isolation wise, it's fair to say that Sysbox containers provide stronger isolation than regular Docker containers (by virtue of using the Linux user-namespace and light-weight OS shim), but weaker isolation than VMs (by sharing the Linux kernel among containers)."

> Firecracker runs a full Linux kernel inside the VM, so it could always run regular Docker, Kubernetes or anything else

That's good to know (thanks), though the table in the Sysbox GH repo meant to compare Sysbox against Kata + Firecracker (since Kata is a container runtime). To the best of my knowledge running Docker, K8s, k3s, etc. inside a Kata container is not easy (see [1] and [2]).

> For containers, this used to be the case, but the situation improved in recent kernel releases.

It's correct that rootless docker/podman approaches are improving as far as what workloads they can run inside containers, although they still have several limitations [3], [4].

With Sysbox, most of these limitations don't apply because the solution works at the more basic "runc" level, Sysbox itself is rootful, and it uses some of the techniques I mentioned before (user-ns, procfs & sysfs virtualization, syscall trapping, UID-shifting, etc.) to make the container resemble a "real host" while providing good isolation.

Good discussion, please let me know of any more feedback.

The ability to pass any law you want is in itself pretty useless, because if the population thinks you did pass the wrong laws, you lose the power to pass future laws you might want, either due to getting thrown out during the next election, or because of loss of cranium, French Revolution style.

What is important is lying about your true intention convincingly enough.
I think we disagree on the definition of social safety net. Social safety nets “improve lives of vulnerable families and individuals experiencing poverty and destitution.” Sure, temporary assistance is a subset, but duration isn’t part of the definition. For example, pensions are part of the social safety net as is social security. Both (in theory) continue in perpetuity to fund ones “lifestyle”
Yes the study is a bit different from what the title suggests, correct. But it’s interesting anyway, for example I discovered that changing the “wake word” can change the people feeling about the same product but with “Amazon” (aka familiar/well know) name/brand:

> In the second experiment, researchers set out to understand how branding affected participants’ perspectives. They changed the “wake word” (the word the user says aloud to engage the device) of the Amazon Echo to “Hey, Amazon!” instead of “Hey, Alexa!,” but kept the “wake word” the same for the Google Home (“Hey, Google!”) and the Jibo robot (“Hey, Jibo!”). They also provided participants with information about each manufacturer. When branding was taken into account, users viewed Google as more trustworthy than Amazon, despite the fact that the devices were very similar in design and functionality.

2. will sell your data to anyone at any time

3. will give it to any government for the asking

4. will leak it to any hacker

5. will allow employees of said cloud provider to browse your data

6. will scan it to use it to sell you ads

7. will scan it looking for anything they don't approve of this week, and take "corrective action"

8. if you've got terabytes, good luck trying to download it

Complexity is unavoidable in the long run, but must be engineered out in the short run.
You basically said is equivalent to statement that computer software is just a bunch of ones and zeros and everyone has access to ones and zeros for free. But at some point it stops being just chain of ones and zeros and becomes meaningful computer program. It's similar problem like with forbidden numbers - at some point how things are arranged overcomes the value of elements itself, but the line there is blurry. So yeah, the "naive statement" is still on your side.

Those older tractors can and do have enough power for modern farming. Source: I work in a shop in a farming community which usually has 10+ tractors lined up to get worked on, and the vast majority are 20-40 years old. They are much more repairable then modern tractors, so plenty of farmers actually prefer them to the newer higher tech tractors.

Oh, and most GPS steering systems don't come with the tractor, and some types of systems are retrofitted onto any tractor with a steering wheel.
Argh, I got geoblocked. Only for the USA?
I'm suspicious that reliability issues stemming from an extreme power draw and level of heat generated when you run AVX-512 instructions was the reason for those instructions being disabled recently.

>One of the big takeaways from our initial Core i7-11700K review was the power consumption under AVX-512 modes, as well as the high temperatures. Even with the latest microcode updates, both of our Core i9 parts draw lots of power.

The Core i9-11900K in our test peaks up to 296 W, showing temperatures of 104ºC, before coming back down to ~230 W and dropping to 4.5 GHz. The Core i7-11700K is still showing 278 W in our ASUS board, tempeartures of 103ºC, and after the initial spike we see 4.4 GHz at the same ~230 W.

There are a number of ways to report CPU temperature. We can either take the instantaneous value of a singular spot of the silicon while it’s currently going through a high-current density event, like compute, or we can consider the CPU as a whole with all of its thermal sensors. While the overall CPU might accept operating temperatures of 105ºC, individual elements of the core might actually reach 125ºC instantaneously. So what is the correct value, and what is safe?

> When companies are cheaping out on labor and competing with other companies doing the same it is artificially lowering prices at the expense of the workers.

If companies can't afford higher wages because it would make their products so expensive that they couldn't find enough customers for them, then you can hardly call that "artificial".
I don't quite understand how such questions help in the hiring process? It reminds me of the famous "why are pothole covers round" question, still not sure what it achieves.
But you should think of it as a smartphone rather than a small desktop/laptop. That's what it's billing itself as.
Would you consider a modern car complex? A modern tractor is at least that complicated, more in some ways, maybe less in others.

From a high level, this doesn't seem a whole lot different than the scan tools needed to diagnose new cars. Some of which are vendor-locked on cars, but at minimum, there are OBDII codes and scanners available to consumers. It's the more marque-specific scan tools that aren't as readily available (but even then, I believe indy service shops can buy/license them, but it's very expensive).
Looks very interesting. Can you please provide usage example?
Its all about tradeoffs.

Rapid tests give you a result within 15 minutes. PCR tests you gotta ship to a lab, and wait maybe 2 or 3 days before they report back to you.

I think PCR tests (which nominally take 15 minutes) are the best. But we clearly don't have the infrastructure to support it. Every lab doing PCR tests is going at full throttle and yet we still have this 2 or 3 day delay everywhere.

Meanwhile, at-home rapid tests work immediately. They're way less accurate, but its better to have some degree of testing rather than nothing at all.

--------

Lets say you have a workforce consisting of 10 people who are sick with COVID19 right now. PCR tests might catch 9/10 of those people. Rapid tests might only catch 6/10.

But removing those 6-people with Rapid tests in your workforce will slow down the spread. 4-people spreading COVID19 in your workplace is better than 10-people spreading COVID19.

-----

EDIT: More importantly, Rapid tests will catch those 6 people _TODAY_. PCR tests will take ~3 days before they report back, meaning if you're on PCR-tests only, your COVID19 positive people will be around the workforce for 3 days.

If you use both Rapid Tests + PCR tests, you remove those 6 people _TODAY_ from the workforce (meaning 4 people will be spreading COVID19 in your workforce). 3 days later, those 3 other people are removed which is "too late". The Rapid test was in fact more useful.

PCR tests are better for contact tracing, due to their higher reliability. If someone tests positive with PCR tests, you trace their contacts and tell _THOSE_ people to get PCR tests and/or rapid tests, in an attempt to "get ahead" of the disease. (IE: those 3 people who weren't caught by rapid tests were in contact with 15 people total. You now tell those 15 people to rapid test + PCR test).
I recently started building an offline, desktop app in Flutter as a collection of dev utilities: https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox

Flutter was a promising choice as it'd give me Windows, Mac OS and Linux build from a single codebase - and even the possibility of orgs running this internally as a self-hosted webapp. But one of the ideas I had was to bundle CyberChef with my app and open in a webview. Turns out, Flutter doesn't support webviews on desktop platforms at all. https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox/issues/4

Can I ask why you would be so insistent on testing? Did you change treatment based on a positive test result?

When my son tested positive, they refused to let us re-test to see if it may have been a false positive. He's 2 and was completely asymptomatic.
The first-sale doctrine says you can sell your copy of a copyrighted work. But a copy that you've edited is no longer a copy of that copyrighted work; it's a new derived work.

From time to time I use surf, but it isn't a fair example of what is hard. Suckless.org's philosophy means you may need to recompile for any configuration change and something like trusting a self-signed cert is often done via configuration.
From a worker's prospective, it sucks, but it's also rather bad from the employer's perspective as well (at least in my experience). Having to ask sick people to come in is not something I or my coworker want to do, but we're so low on staff right now that, if an individual tests negative and isn't running a fever, we need all the help we can get.

Two other managers are currently out, multiple department heads and regular associates are out, and it's just the two of us running the show. I pulled a 12 hour shift Sunday just so said coworker could have a day off, and they're doing the same today for me. Just trying to open/close on time has been incredibly difficult lately, having to call around to cover morning/night shifts that people suddenly call out for. I'm not sure how much longer I can do this. I need this whole pandemic to come to a close solely for the sake of my own physical/mental wellbeing, if not also for everyone else's.

> Why are we at the mercy of …

We aren’t at anyone’s mercy.

Nobody is forcing us to use browsers from google or Mozilla.

We are all free to implement our own UA. The specs are all open standards.

What stops us from writing browsers is the sheer volume of time and effort required - hundreds of thousands of hours of highly skilled work. That is all.

In the absence of such an effort, we would be left high and dry, with no way to experience the web.

Fortunately, that isn’t the case, because some others have done the work and allow us to use their browsers.

For that, we might feel grateful.

We might also be wary, and try to be aware of any adverse consequences of using someone else’s thing. That’s common sense, but it is still not a case of being at someone’s mercy. That situation loomed when one company sought to control the standards for the web as well as the implementation, but what we have today is different to that.
It seems that we agree that taking a game theoretic view can justify more than just 'the bare minimal extent required to protect others' as it can also include questions of setting examples and letting justice be seen to be done that can form part of the decisions of other future potential criminals, or victims who might feel like taking the law into their own hands.

So, as to 'they chose this themselves', that's begging the question a little - as we've already seen I think that believing in determinism doesn't stop you from believing that people can choose things. As to 'they deserve it', questions of what people deserve is a huge other topic, and I think it's most likely possible to define desert in terms that fit within a deterministic viewpoint.

However, perhaps you're right about its effect since I do in fact think that vengeance is a thoroughly dumb rationale for treating people badly. This is to such an extent that I'd feel surprised to find anyone seriously try to justify it, which is why I didn't really engage with your apparent suggestion that it was an important justification. There are lots of ways you can try to justify criminal punishment in my view but 'vengeance' doesn't fit into any moral system I consider valuable unless it's actually being used as a code for game theoretic concerns or rehabilitation.

But I don't feel so strange thinking this, since most people I know think the same, even those who don't share my views on free will and I'm pretty sure I believed it before I came to that conclusion on free will.

Unless you're hiring them to work in that domain, I don't understand why you'd ask that question.
