We haven't even seen the numbers from last weekend.
It takes on average 5 days for infected people to show symptoms, and they only test once you have fever for 3-4 days (I can verify this first-hand), then 1-2 days for the test results to come back. That 9-11 days average.
We will see a spike later this week based on last weekends warm weather and hanami.
Would the FTC count as "other parts of the government"?
I seem to recall one of the arguments of Pai is that the FCC shouldn't be responsible for regulation of the internet, it should fall under the FTC.
So as head of the FCC he can effectively strip it of all power, the governance shifting to the FTC. Once his commission is up he takes a job at Verizon/At&T/etc, lobbying the FTC.
Or, as burkaman noted, they will just issue a waiver.
Not sure if this changed, but at 35m 47s they just show a static shot of the rocket on the drone ship. The 'live' footage of the landing was earlier in the video (27m 20s).
It doesn't really require a knowledge of ruby, so you might want to have a look.
From the FAQ on the front page:
Do I have to know Ruby?
Really, I love alliteration: the only thing the 'for Rubyists' really means is that I assume you don't know about pointers, concurrency, or similar things. That's okay, you've never had to think about them before! I explain this stuff in extra depth. If you program in another dynamically typed language, you'll be just fine. If you program in another systems language, you'll be more than fine.
I'm taking it right now. There's a lot of maths and theory, and it's quite a difficult course, but it's been a great way to learn the foundations of cryptography.
I took the course last year, and really enjoyed it a lot. It's a very good introduction to functional programming.
For anyone unsure about taking the course, I wrote about my experience on my blog [1], maybe that will be of use. I posted more technical details of the course contents on google+ (links in the blog post).
"a lot of material was explained by Professor Ordesky during the videos, so you’d have a hard time trying to do the course without watching the videos"
The Stanford Databases class (http://class2go.stanford.edu/db/) did that part very well (well it did everything very well): Everything that the professor typed in during video demonstrations, was also provided as text files in the course downloadables.
Seems like they've had a recent push to do MEAPs in ePub/Mobi as well. Out of the 10 MEAPs I'm following at the moment (addict ;;), eight have full PDF/ePub/Mobi and two are only available as PDF.
Yeah, it's today's "deal of the day", and you can also save on "Clojure in Action, Second Edition" and "Functional Programming in Scala".
There's also a week-long coupon to celebrate the launch, and that includes a much larger list of books that you can save on, which is probably what trailfox is talking about.
Thanks aroemers.
I didn't realise this had previously been announced. I've updated the title to indicate that the news is actually that the Early Access edition is now available for purchase.
