My understanding is MicroSD “hardware” switch triggers a software based switch that not enforced by the hardware; that is, it is not designed security.

Even a “read only” CD-ROM if not verified on boot for tampering — might contain an attack, including: to just disable the disk from booting, among other things.


Anyone have a graph of the capital injections (or capital equivalent valuation at the time of actions) that the US and other countries have taken since 2020 started?


The Fed balance sheet is probably the most direct way to look at the aggregate liquidity injections: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...



At some point, unless working onsite is (really) essential — employees & employers that have onsite unnecessary office space should have to pay tax to do so, otherwise, them having an office space just paid for by those who are willing not to have an office.

Having non-essential spaces for people is complete unnecessary — and it: contributes in less health eating habits, traffic, cars, HVAC related energy costs, wasted time commuting, rising real estate costs, economic lost during pandemics due to downtime, etc.

Same principle holds true for non-essential travel.


Since numbers are not 100% clear...

(50 petabytes * 0.2% = 100 terabytes)

[$0.005 ($/GB/Month) BackBlaze cost]

[(50 petabytes) / (1 gigabyte) = 50,000,000]

(50,000,000 * $0.005 = $250,000 US$)

—————

Meaning based on my numbers, that is $250,000 USD a month to host 50 petabytes of data on BackBlaze.


That's a fraction of the AWS bills for many startups arguably doing absolutely nothing


They have VC money to burn. Archive.org doesn't.

Also, those backups would be (relatively) cheap to keep, but not necessarily to restore.


I would guess restore wouldn't be a problem. AWS or whoever would do it for free given it is a non-profit (in case of a disaster only, of course).


Not sure if you’re asking for:

(1) US coronavirus data in general,

(2) examples of sources that do not log prior days data, or

(3) source that “edit” prior data without noting the edits.

(4) something else

If (1) this page in the table under the column “sources” links to where the data came from:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/


2 and 3.


OpenBCI ?


I wouldn't really call them a consumer-oriented startup. I left Kernel, OpenBCI, Intheon, g.tec, etc off the list.


μClinux is a variation of the Linux kernel, previously maintained as a fork, that targets microcontrollers without a memory management unit (MMU).

Makes me wonder if the human brain if born into a 4D world would be able to function, or if fundamentally it is impossible for the brain to process a 4D word.


Worth noting while 40+ countries celebrate Mother’s Day — per country, the holiday’s actual date varies.

See the wiki page for more information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day


Also worth noting that today is considered Mother’s Day in ~96 countries based on the entry, making this date the single largest alignment of Mother’s Day celebrations in the world.

The second place goes to March 8th (International Women’s Day) which has 20 countries.


For clarification, “the entry” appears to be the wiki page I linked to. The count of 96 countries appears to come from the list of countries per time of year.

My 40+ countries came from the same page, not sure why it says 40+.


Lol, like how when it loads you see the hidden text and then it disappears.

Another option might be better to process the text, swap out each letter with for example X — or even better a ID-key, then render the font you made.

If you used the ID-key, you could even encrypt each key, tag them by type (spoilers, swear words, personal info, etc) - though for obvious reasons that would require server-side code.


You only see the hidden text because your browser renders it with a different font first.

Its the font itself doing the censoring, not some script, which IMO removes a good chunk of the 'neatness' of this solution.
