[10:55:16] <inz> FP, have you seen a spike in C-19 cases after the new year's bar openings?
[10:57:19] <inz> Although I guess it wouldn't be showing yet, even if there is a spike
[12:36:07] <FatPhil> inz: Finland had a huge spike because it didn't count cases for a few days, and the backlog was huge, as I understand it.
[12:37:22] <FatPhil> your peak under partial omicron was still less than our peak under delta last year, so it's a nothingburger.
[12:40:23] <FatPhil> out main stats site (koroonakaart.ee) has stopped showing *any* of the actually interesting stats now - progress! - so I don't know what's happening to our hospitalisations/ICU/deaths any more. All I get is case counts, and they're bloody pointless now omicron's around.

[15:54:23] <FatPhil> Holy jeebus. I pay 0.16e-0.38e for a wire transfer, how the fuck can BoA justify $15-$30!?!??!?
[15:54:42] <FatPhil> I think I'm being ripped off paying what I pay. It costs them next to nothing.
[15:55:34] <FatPhil> Now I understand why paypal got invented, it's because US banks don't do banking properly.
[16:06:47] <Bytram> If it costs less to do it with the fee (i.e. *perceived* benedit), than it does for alternatives, then people will pay it?
[16:08:35] <janrinok> FatPhil, everybody knows that US electrons are much bigger than ours - and thus they require a lot more pushing through the wire.... I thought you were up to speed on this technology thing?
[16:24:20] <chromas> To be fair, .16e is probably worth $15 by now
[16:25:50] <chromas> You could also try Zelle, which is the banks' Paypal-ish money sending program
[16:26:55] <chromas> Speaking of banks overcharging might summon EF though
[17:07:41] <FatPhil> This thing is, I don't mind paying my dues.

[20:22:03] <chromas> Maybe I need to learn how to group articles by topic

[20:29:00] <fab23> chromas: stop reading to many sources, it helps :)
[20:29:26] <fab23> SN is all you need, ok any maybe occasionally HN :)
[20:31:11] <chromas> I don't really read it. I used to use it as a sauce for subbing junk to sn
[20:34:22] <chromas> But it'd be cool to, say, group all today's stories about Microsoft or whatever topic under one headline but stuff like tf-idf is worthless trash

[20:46:02] <fab23> chromas: hm, how do you consume your news feeds? I do have an RSS-to-Email tool running, based on feeds as digest or single articles, and if needed filtering with sieve on the mail server
[20:46:36] <chromas> I have a phpoo script that pulls from rss and inserts into a db
[20:47:05] <chromas> using a borky rss 'library' I found on the internet that doesn't always handle xml entities properly
[20:48:30] <chromas> So I was thinking of having some bit of code anal ize the text and maybe add an ID to each row based on keywords and age maybe
[20:51:57] <chromas> Some sites are nice enough to put the full article into the feed. others put just a line, and best ones, of course, leave that field empty
[20:52:11] <fab23> a real RDB like MariaDB or such, or just SQLite? If a real DB, you could e.g. do a query to clean up or "mark" stuff based on content, e.g. with a trigger or event (or a cron job)
[20:52:36] <chromas> it's postgres
[20:53:05] <fab23> I am still using an "old" newspipe.py (needs python 2.7), which is able to pull the full article, but does not work for all feeds.
[20:53:06] <chromas> the hard part is understanding muh content algorithms 'cause I'm not smart enough
[20:53:41] <fab23> hm curating a filter list is probably the on-going process
[20:54:26] <chromas> I also started bogofilter integration so I could up and downvote stories (which it would rate as spam/ham) to filter out junk like the latest mouse review or whatever
[20:54:34] <chromas> but like most of it, I haven't finished :D
[20:55:00] <chromas> I have a button to load the full article into the page in place of the summary but it doesn't always work
[20:55:14] <chromas> even though I hate web programming I went lazy and made the front end a web page
[20:56:38] <Bytram> chromas: It's nice to share! ;) Please feel free to !rss-add (in #rss-bot) and feed urls that you think would be of interest to the community. Please also let me know (PM me) and I will start them
[20:56:45] <fab23> on HN (news.ycom..., you may know which site) I found posting regarding tools to create RSS out of websites which do not support it, could probably be a workaround for feeds not giving the full article. I did not use any of the mention tools yet, just found it interessting for sites not having a RSS any more, or where for some reason newspipe.py or even curl is getting blocked
[20:57:05] <Bytram> gtg; back in a few hours =)
[20:59:10] <chromas> I looked into such tools awhile back because of a couple local news pages who keep their RSS secret
[21:00:04] <chromas> but eventually I found another site (in Michigan or some far-away place) that I could change an id number in their rss to get my local site (in Washington) so they must be on the same dial-up server in a jar of frozen molasses
[21:03:45] <chromas> oh another thing I should look into is facebook api junk. would be good for collecting local news since people (mostly boomers) still use fb
[21:06:47] <chromas> they used to have rss feeds for public postings but no no mo'
