I find it surprising that nearly 1 in 4 people believe the sun revolves around the earth.
The official figures in China are 8,163 cases 171 deaths which is 2% right now, but take these with a big grain of salt.

I wouldn't even go that far. I've been using this as an excuse to figure out the D3 v5 API using the Johns Hopkins data. Most provinces outside of Hubei are not reporting deaths yet. It's possible nobody's died outside of Hubei, but that seems suspect to me. There is almost certainly strong federal and local pressure to under report deaths, but this sort of thing is much harder to hide in Hubei because it's the epicenter.

I don't believe for a moment that China would've attempted to quarantine 60 million people so quickly if the case fatality rate were only 2%. 2% is bad but SARS saw around 15% in many countries and things weren't locked down this tightly.

More to the point, Hubei is reporting 204 deaths and 5,806 confirmed cases which works out to about 3.5%. This is compared to 76 deaths and 1,423 confirmed three days ago (or 5%). If you'd like to look at death compared to known outcomes you're looking at about 64% of the outcomes being death (204 deaths, 116 recoveries). It's not clear which part of the equation is lagging more in Hubei.
I find that if I'm in a noisy environment, like a moving car, if I think hard about a song, it feels like I can faintly hear it. I guess it's a side effect of the brain trying to find a recognizable pattern in the noise. I used to especially appreciate this in the days before it was easy to actually hear any song on demand, when I would have had to either buy the album or record the song off the radio.
Do you literally block (aka drop) mail from SES IPs? That's awful for your users.

If you really distrust mail from those IPs so much, why not just filter it straight to SPAM? At least you'd be delivering it and your users could whitelist senders (or domains) they trust.
Amazon also uses Redshift, which is a modern columnar database.

While I can appreciate the benefits of getting enough sleep for a student, I don't really understand how they can cover the full curriculum with only 4-5 hours a day (3 p.m. to 8 p.m. with a break for dinner.)

Something else to consider is that flu outbreaks aren't typically taken very seriously by most people, while the widespread fear and media coverage of the 2019-nCov all but guarantees more serious responses from both the general public and the government.

Consider the recommendations to thoroughly wash one's hands during flu season as a precaution against getting the flu. How many people take that advice seriously? You can bet there'll be a lot more hand washing all around once this coronavirus hits people's local areas, not to mention all the mask wearing that'll happen (though unfortunately, most people will be wearing those dinky surgical masks which will be of dubious effectiveness), and people isolating themselves.

On the other hand, we have vaccines for the flu that are available well in advance of flu outbreaks (though not nearly enough people take them), while we've got no publicly available ones for 2019-nCov. That's another confounding variable that makes it hard to compare the two.
Thank you for saying this! I think your definition of OLAP is good, but the definition of OLAP cube could simply be 'a data structure that is basically a very sophisticated nested array'. I'm oversimplifying, of course — there are over four decades of work at this point on OLAP cubes, including various compression schemes (e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-17569-5_...) and other techniques to aggregate data when the cube outstrips the hosts's memory. But by and large it is important to understand that an OLAP cube is simply a data structure ... and different vendors have different implementations and optimisations of said data structure.

I think this confusion exists because too many vendors conflate the two terms. They say OLAP when they mean OLAP cube. BigQuery and Redshift, however, do not: they are very clear that their dbs are designed for OLAP workloads but are not cubes.

Sure, but you'd have to define the weight variables for your conv layer first outside the train loop, then use them within the train loop. With TF I can just create the weights and the ops in one line.

It’s not artificial limits. Including special taxes, it averages out to 1.25. It’s on par with other places. What happened was that housing and economy skyrocketed within a very short period of time. Foreigners are allowed to invest in the housing market for speculative purposes. The extra tax income is used to fund public schools. More immigration and younger people having kids. And overall death rate slowing down. And that means publicl employees pension funds. Looking up unfunded pension liabilities is a good idea.

Also..why should everyone feel like owning a home is a right? You can always rent. In fact, it’s a better economic decision because renters take advantage of best school districts within dealing with the hassle of home ownership. People buy property as an investment that is like an speculative asset these days. Homes should be a dwelling. There will always be those who have appreciating assets and those who will inherit. Punitively punishing them with taxes is just irresponsible and will create more instability.

At the end of the day, most of this is noise. CA is better than most places in the USA..America is better than most places in the world. The govt needs to stop manufacturing dissent and focus on what they need to do and aren’t doing..public transportation would alleviate housing issues. Universal healthcare will help people live their lives and remove the pressure of working for insurance.

How many people in their 50s and 60s would rather not work and just retire but continue because they need to pay for insurance. If they are going to work in the Bay Area, why not live in a home they had bought decades ago?

But it doesn’t matter..with automation and AI, jobs are going to dwindle anyways. It’s best not to create Uber dense cities as they will not be needed when people experience unemployment. We should look towards some kind of universal basic necessities/services and health care rather than building more and imagining that jobs will
last forever. That’s just not going to happen. Period.

CSSE is manually aggregating data from official sources. It's updated, at most, twice a day so there is hefty lag from when the official numbers are updated and CSSE updates their site. It's about the best source of statistics that laypeople will have but it's hardly worth calling it 'real time'.

Sure, that might explain the 12 hours in jail. It does NOT explain why the county attorney continued with prosecution well after it was clear the men had no criminal intent and were acting on the direction of the state of Iowa. That was a pissing contest, full stop, and the men caught in the middle should be pursuing legal action against the county.

You can almost though. Make it out of titanium, give it gas turbine engines with an electric drive, put the thing on hydraulics so it can get lower to the ground, add electronic stability control to get artificial sports car feel, and some rocket thrusters on the top to keep it from tipping over in tight turns. Maybe you could make the tires out of some metamaterial so it can have slick tires for racing and deep treads for the construction site.

All of that is to say it can be done, but you're going to pay, and it might not be delivered on time.

This is literally the exact opposite of what an environmentalist would want in terms of urban growth and planning. Environmentally friendly planning means you have housing near where people work to avoid highly polluting long commutes.

The problem is NIMBY bullshit in the purest sense. People will use every excuse in the book to prevent new housing in their neighborhood. While a fair amount of the time environmental policies are abused to block development, zoning laws are also abused, parking/ land use legislation, hell I've seen houses blocked because they increase the shade in a park by 2% for half an hour during the evening.

None of this is "environmentalism", its rich people standing on a high hill screwing over everyone else beneath them.

Same here. The other night I needed to drive from East Bay to SFO in the rain, and Apple Maps said it was going to take me 43 minutes with an ETA of 7:27PM.

In my experience, it's almost always within a few minutes of correct.

How many support requests do you get per day and are you getting the same questions again and again? One idea would be to make your support page show an FAQ and include a "contact support via email" link at the bottom. I only get 3 or 4 a day so don't have a problem answering them right away. It can be a distraction when I'm deep in work mode, but I also often learn something important talking to users, so worth it for now.
A borrow checker is currently in development for d, and pattern matching has been pseudo-implemented with metaprogramming.

Unfortunately the STL has an overload for the non-const version, which would cause this problem. It's hard to imagine the cases where you'd need a mutable reference to a single character. It can fit into the same register that the reference would live, so even as an immutable reference it doesn't make much sense.

Also one of the service teams might need to change their schema, which the reporting team needs to adjust their process to handle that. That's fine, but they need to know that in advance, and then they might have a backlog of other things that they need to do, and then some other teams schema changed without notice, so now they always have to play catch-up.

hey i've worked on this stuff for awhile at fb.

One important update is that the primary rationale for us, at the time, to change std::string's implementation to `fbstring` was to get SSO. We got huge perf wins for having SSO on std::string. (small string optimization for those unfamiliar with the initialism).

This, at the time, was a violation of the standard. By wording, SSO was not standard compliant.

Once the standard was changed (as of C++11) so that std::strings could have SSO, we removed our patches on the standard library and now use "vanilla" std::string (from libstdc++). We still have `folly::fbstring` for people who want that implementation (which is smaller, and has more in-situ capacity, because of various cleverness detailed in that talk), but it's no longer our `std::string`.

For reference: https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/FBString...

>that's only if you need to download maps for offline use

Well yeah that's pretty critical (particularly as a differentiator vs Apple Maps). I'm in northern New England, huge portions of north NY and VT/NH/ME have no cell coverage at all. Let alone Canada. Online maps are nearly useless not just for hiking and general backcountry work but even regular driving to job sites. My own town has no cell at all downtown, not just "no LTE", no cell coverage period. If you've ever looked at coverage maps the phone companies put out showing huge areas all nicely lit, know that they are flagrant lies that are finally even getting government attention. If you're interested, first search result article that came up is one from last year on VT going ahead and actually spending 6 weeks driving around the whole state testing themselves:

Thank you very much for the reply though! It's good to know that, with the caveat of no individual profiles, an account could be shared around a bit without getting auto banned; I know some services do track that. FWIW, might be worth considering as a some-day feature to have a cut-down version of your Teams offering or a bundle as an official Family Plan, for a bit more money than standard with "up to 6" (or 5 or whatever) profiles. At any rate though, good to have more options to consider in mapping.
Eh, I was thinking about pretty much exactly what you said. "Length in the data block" would be when length doesn't fit in 32 bits. (I.e. >2GB or maybe >4GB.)

It would require an additional branch to test for huge strings, but it will be almost never executed, and I think modern CPUs are pretty good at optimizing out such branches...
Things are more and more complicated (interacting, and also wide, dense, fast-moving...), and therefore unpredictability grows.

This is true for nearly everythoing, and war reflects it, as up to the Industrial Revolution things (strategy, tactics, weaponry...) evolved gradually. Nowadays nobody knows anymore how all this really works, therefore there is less and less way to predict (how/what/why/when/...) sufficiently accurately in order to prepare/act adequately (for example to equip soldiers).

Hence the need for "something which can cope with any situation".

Fun fact: this 'something' has to be complicated, adding up complication to the complicated global state of affairs, nurturing the very cause of the underlying challenge.

A lot of states 4 hrs is the minimum instruction hours to be counted as a school day. Homeschoolers in particular often will make use of this and say they cover much more in 4 hrs of one-on-one instruction than they could at a regular school.

At high school level though where there needs to be so many units the minimum doesn't work so well.

No, it's not common at all, it's almost unheard of. Will be interesting to see how this experiment works out.
