It has always been a struggle and after reunification federal focus has shifted, naturally thethe rural/urban imbalance took the backseat to the easy/west imbalance, city or not. But a lot of anti-centralistic intertia has remained, and a lot of the political fight against rural/urban split was on state level anyways. The split is growing in Germany just like everywhere else, but it probably hasn't proceeded as far yet.

That sounds like a good compromise.
The coverup is such an important part of why SARS turned out so bad. It mutated after the initial outbreak from a relatively benign virus to a much more deadly variety. (The longer the outbreak lasts and the more people are infected, the more likely such a mutation is) This time the Chinese government has been much more open (relatively), and the virus has been identified at a much earlier stage.
I'd be pretty optimistic if it weren't for the Lunar New Year holiday, which could really screw up the efforts to contain the spread.
That first part is exactly the checklist.

Even for software developers, it varies a lot, e.g. everyone has different expectations of Agile. A lot of people do Agile with deadlines. Some people think scrum means they bother you every 2 hours asking for a progress report.
Well, that was not the argument. I agree, there are much greedier organizations around. However, this does not answer the question why the operation of these organisations is so expensive compared to their services. Parkinson has a good explanation though ;-)

Microlens arrays, for all intents and purposes of consuming and recording media (for human consumption), are essentially equivalent to ideal phased array optics (while having spacing much larger than phased array usual requirements). We perceive light non-coherently, phase information is lost to our eyes; microlens arrays suffice to reproduce a light field sans phase effects[1] -- that includes the perception of most phenomena that are affected by light coherence, like oil on water or viewing laser experiments (not totally sure, but I don't think there are experiments that can't be reproduced by geometric-optical light fields that don't rely on coherent measurement?; maybe some interference phenomena though?).

There are practical problems with the technology though, as light sources we can currently make have some minimum size limitations, and incoherent optical behavior starts to degrade at very small lens size (at or below micron scale I guess).

[1] You could probably create a good approximate phased array optics with led-scale (~ 10 micron scale) coherent lasers as light sources, but again I don't see any application that's not scientific
OpenVPN and IPSec clients exist, why is ProtonVPN reinventing the wheel? This ProtonVPN advertisement wouldn't have been 'necessary' if they had used and supported an existing client for these protocols.. but then again, they wouldn't have had this ad on 'hacker' 'news' if they had..
? I don't follow the mechanism you're thinking of here.
Eloquently put!
Wait, how does that work? You basically play around with beamforming and/or phasing at 480-750THz and light appears...?!

Had a similar experience running a consulting practice for a global software company. Our practice revenue was growing with profitably around 20% EBIT. Software sales where not growing as fast. As a result consulting was an increasing % of regional contribution income but at a lower margin. So my practice was lowering regional EBIT margin. We got told to slow down. I put an amazing guy in charge and resigned.

Millions of incremental profit... unwanted. Of course it's logical given shareholders, but remains strange all the same.
Quick question, since we are on the topic: do you think that it is a feasible (or even the optimal) approach to first develop an MVP, using a very productive, but much less performant, language (Python) and then, upon reaching a product-market fit, if needed [i.e., after trying to remove performance bottlenecks and using a faster compiler, like PyPy], rewrite the product (SaaS platform) in a more performant and otherwise more suitable language (e.g., Julia, C#)?

P.S. By "rewrite the product" I meant rewriting only the backend.
you know why they re dying? because i have to add "reddit" or "stackoverflow" or "wiki" to my questions because google often gives shit results, and the mix of ads and results is hilariously confusing. If reddit and SO wake up and realize how well they can monetize their own search, google is gonna be panicking.
Great idea, except for the fact that this didn't work at all. The 1996 Act encouraged lots of outside investment in telco competition, but all of that is gone now. Unlike in more civilized parts of the world [0], USA regulators have not fostered competition in telecom. That's why we have 2.5 national telcos.

>The WHO based its estimates on an analysis of the latest data from Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Vietnam. "On the basis of more detailed and complete data, and more reliable methods, WHO now estimates that the case fatality ratio of SARS ranges from 0% to 50%, depending on the age group affected, with an overall estimate of case fatality of 14% to 15%," the agency's announcement said.

>The fatality ratio is less than 1% for people younger than 25, 6% for those aged 25 to 44, 15% for those aged 45 to 64, and more than 50% for people 65 or older, officials said.

>WHO officials observed that calculating the case-fatality ratio for a disease outbreak is difficult while the outbreak is still evolving. The true ratio cannot be determined until the outbreak is over, when the total numbers of deaths and recoveries are known.

If it is similar to SARS, 19 nCoV could affect developed countries with elderly populations more.
Hmm, it's interesting that you have DNA base sequences support built in. But (you know someone was going to ask ;-) ) I don't see similar support for Amino Acid sequences, or encoding/decoding between the two. Is this a deliberate design choice?

>nothing found in the conversations he [ilegally] acquired that demonstrates wrongdoing by the judge.

"In the files, conversations between lead prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol and then-presiding Judge Sergio Moro reveal that Moro offered strategic advice to prosecutors and passed on tips for new avenues of investigation. With these actions, Moro grossly overstepped the ethical lines that define the role of a judge. In Brazil, as in the United States, judges are required to be impartial and neutral, and are barred from secretly collaborating with one side in a case."

I wonder what the tipping point will be? At what point Google Search revenue will have peaked, pushing Google to accelerate the pace of experiments and new solutions to make more out of fewer users.

Like many around here, I have (re)started using alternatives to Google products last year. We're early adopters, so it will take a while for Google to be affected by a mass exodus, but what will happen when it will start? What medium will they use to fill the gap. The only (currently) untapped options matching Search's reach to display ads are: Gmail, Android, Google Photos. Probably nothing else. What happens for advertisers targeting specifically users like me who end up stopping using Google Search (e.g., how do you reach a high earner from Bay Area if they have completely stopped using Search? Because this, will happen first, and these users are valuable).

The required scale of any alternative is critical. Compensating for Search revenue decline is no easy feat. So much that, until now, nothing else generates anything even close to Search's revenue. If you talk profit, it's even worse as YouTube is probably not as profitable as Google would like (YouTube Premium anyone?) it to be.

So, the future will probably come from outside of Google's own properties, and that is why they are slowly killing competition in the ad tech space (3rd party cookies & Chrome). That is why they have been trying to diversify and are wisely enough pushing very hard with GCP and other proven revenue streams like subscriptions (YouTube Music, YouTube Premium, gSuite).

Probably also why founders really left.

It will be an interesting decade, for sure!

On the average-case risk, it is unlikely to get "bad." (if bad is defined as being similar to SARS or MERS.) However, its current worst-case risk is similar severity, with n=(500-1000) individuals who may pass away fatally if it does get "bad."

PowerShell Core (PS5/open source) is crushing it in this space over Bash\AWK specifically.

I'm a pretty advocate for how it works in these use cases now.

Generally I still use Bash\Sed\AWK for the one off instances when ever I need something done there and then. But if I'm writing something that's going to be involved in my CI\CD with a high chance of needing to be maintained. I'll nearly always write it in PowerShell.
I think the paper is just a research project. Considering that you need a wifi on, it would not work very well on the go.

I think it's Google's work to deprioritize them on other search engines it is still showing up at first DDG gives it special treatment, by highlighting its summary, which is often what I'm looking for.
No they won’t, part of the reason frontier was doomed is because their infrastructure is so bad they no longer qualify with the new rules. Their entire business model was buying up old copper infrastructure where there was no competition then claiming dollars from the fund. They’d upgrade the head end and say the speeds were now capable of 7/1 even though no customer could ever actually attain close to those speeds. I suffered through their bs for years and dumped them the second an alternative was available.
Yes, exactly.

One thing to keep in mind is that it's surprisingly common for a sorted array to outperform a binary search tree because of cache locality and pointer indirection being slow, even though random inserts into arrays are slow. Especially for small sets or when reads greatly outnumber writes. Boost has flat_map and flat_set for this.
Seems like some of this analysis could have been done before building anything. I also wouldn’t model it as ongoing CPC costs indefinitely. If the product is good it should develop word of mouth and use other marketing channels.

I would love to see a similar analysis that was greenlit because CPC looked so profitable. (Maybe it exists, I don’t know.)
With nearly every browser supporting multiple search engines, and keywords, there's just no reason to exclusively use a single search engine anymore. You can have your browser's address bar search duckduckgo just by using a keyword like "DDG:" (or something even shorter D:) and then typing in your query. Same goes for other engines, or even super niche searches on any website. Makes workflow much easier too, instead of going from Bing/Google/DDG -> StackOverflow, set up a keyword for SO directly. Of course, if the website's search method is mediocre then you're SOL but that's more and more rare these days.

If Bing's results aren't good, head back to the address bar and use another engine, if that's not good try another. So easy nowadays that it's kind of insane to me that there's still so many people who aggressively will ONLY use Google Search.
And yes, Chinese traditions are responsible for not only this virus, but also extinction of rhinos and elephants by way of their horns, tigers by way of their genitals, sharks by way of their fins, and who knows what else.

Perhaps they should be punished much more harshly, even tortured in public, if that is what it takes to get change.

It is my opinion that women should marry men who support their careers, maybe that means they find a guy less educated then they are.
I think there was some nobel prize winning refinement to the theory that basically said markets approach theoretical efficiency in the limit as transaction costs go to zero, and interesting deviations from efficiency happen because transaction costs are not zero. Like, the whole reason we have firms and markets in real life is because zero transaction costs don't exist globally and so it helps to have ways to reduce them here and there.

>Windows file management and UI is far superior to anything out there

Last I checked, windows explorer lacked split windows and a popdown console, both of which i use constantly. Windows also lacks focus on hover, proper session restore, a simple, readable, usable applications menu, the settings were scattered between at least two different places with no real rhyme or reason. It also has built in ads which honestly kills whatever positives the ui might have.
A DE manages user’s view of applications and, in general, the overall user experience (usually in the GUI setting); it also provides an API for applications to seamlessly fit that experience. Window management is but a small part of this.

Yes, that's definitely planned over the longer term, but the community is too small to support highly-specific groups for now. Various other "reddit clones" have made the mistake of allowing users to create communities immediately, and they ended up with thousands of inactive, abandoned ones.

Even reddit itself didn't support subreddit creation for over 3 years. It takes a long time to have a userbase large enough for it to work.

In the meantime, Tildes has a pretty flexible tagging system to help categorize topics, and tags can transition into formal groups quite nicely.
Also, they provide delayed data for free (10-15 minute delayed).

If you can do with delayed data, I wrote a post on my data extraction using IB. This works pretty neatly both with R and Python for my analysis.
