I have internal monologue sometimes, and I also have the characteristic you're describing here. It's sort of pleasing somehow to discover that someone else has similar parsing issues.

I tend to get stuck on failed parses, which sometimes makes conversation awkward. Some failed parses are funny, or they might prompt me to substitute homophones in a search for a parse that works. Sometimes the results make me laugh, and that can lead to occasional awkwardness.
>despite sending an email being an utterly trivial, long solved problem

AFAIK, SPAM is a still a hard problem, and getting emails delivered isn't trivial.

"Under the guise of Spam" is a very reductionist viewpoint. It's like saying "Under the guise of the measles, we now have an oligopoly of pharmaceuticals." The latter might be true, but its important not to understate the threat of the former.

Interesting. When I've seen other describe this kind of spatial skill, I've always imagined it being with imagery. Which I don't have. I wouldn't be able to draw an image of it, except xkcd-like 2-d stuff.
> saddled with a million regulations from the government

How acute is this, in general? I'm not from the US and I have no clue about it. From the outside it seems that everything is going well, creativity is abundant and freedom is running wild in the streets. Your comment kinda negates that and I'm a little surprised by it.
Hardware isn't Open-Source though.
That's a fantastic example because an all-caps constant actually does have a different meaning than the same word spelled in lowercase, and all the more reason to not capitalize keywords in SQL (Structured Query Language, being an acronym, is proper to capitalize)
So only Americans can make these sort of companies? This is a deliberate investment by their government, and yes they shouldn't be handing out to Americans who can go to SV and get their handout from their VCs.
I've gone through this thought process too, but where I arrived is that it's kind of the tail wagging the dog. The whole point of microservices (or at least one major one) is so that teams can operate independently without having to use the same framework. Each service provides a fairly static API and other services write code against it, but under the covers each service is relatively free to implement that contract however they want, whatever language, whatever database, whatever scaling strategy, whatever version control, whatever deployment cadence, whatever hardware SKUs, all specific to the service.

So with a hypothetical framework like this, yeah it would make microservices easier (in theory, though there are lots of technical problems too) in terms of "look ma, I made microservices", but it wouldn't actually address any of the problem microservice architectures actually try to solve. So, tail wagging the dog.

Some of the technical problems stem from memory working different from API calls: they can fail, the overhead is much higher (shouldn't call in a big loop), can't pass pointers, global state may differ on remote machine. So an application model that tries to abstract away those differences is bound to have problems. Also deployment: remotes will be temporarily broken if the API changes, until the deployment has fully propagated; a team running a microservice takes a different mindset with respect to API versioning than does a compilation unit. And that's really the crux of the whole thing: microservicing requires an entirely different mindset than monolithing, and approaching one with the mindset of another will cause problems.
I don't disagree that do-nothing projects can be valuable to society - but defense contractors are an extremely inefficient way to inject money into the economy. Most of that money ends up going into the pockets of people who could find quite decent jobs elsewhere.

Redirecting that money to small business grants would provide a much bigger boost to general societal well being.

Irony is not the word I'd used.

People are using their government influence to rob citizens blind for their self-enrichment. The war on drugs was used to enrich police forces and suppliers while the opioid problem was for the benefit of the pharmacy and insurance companies.
The article is innumerate, conflating "doesn't stop" with "doesn't mitigate." The reason is, epidemics don't play out in a manner such that everybody gets exposed with the same severity or to an identical strain of the virus.

That's why staying home from work when sick actually helps.
I’m not happy with it. YMMV. I don’t like Tri-X in general though.
I bet that the money that they get will largely go to lawyers, administration, and increased efforts around finding/litigating patents on current research.

I am extremely dubious that it will result in research that advances the state of science. Science flourishes best when you share results and hypotheses early and often, then get feedback/inspire others. But that type of communication threatens patents, so inspires people to put their research into black boxes until the legal paperwork has been filed.
> I think you're remembering the fire bit backwards. A lack of controlled burns due to discontinuation of indigenous practices and budget cuts combined with increased fire fighting (preventing natural burns) caused fuel to build up in forests that would have burned away in smaller fires.

Yes, my mistake, that's probably it.
The most useful formula I’ve seen related to the birthday problem is the approximation p = (n^2)/(2m), where n is the number of random choices made, m is the number of choices available, and p is the probability of at least one collision. You can derive the usual formula for the number of hash bits necessary to avoid a collision with probability 1/2 (given a set of cardinality n) by just substituting 1/2 for p and solving for m. But this formula is much more useful than that special case since it lets you set the collision probability to be arbitrarily small.
I worked on a large DoD contract where there was a core of about 12-20 people doing the majority of the work and about 140 additional people just... having a job.

The legal requirements to collecting money on defense contracts pretty much always does this.
What your saying applys more to ELT, which is an efficient method when using batches. There's no reason why you can't stream ETL.

Disc: Googler but nowhere close to Maps.
We started with Mailgun when the free tier seemed established and permanent. No card required. Our CMS taps into their API. Then they required a unique phone number for each account and even that was a time sink getting clients to comprehend what was going on.

I think some people underestimate how cost-sensitive some clients are. And how time poor some small businesses are.
that's because SES HATES being used. IT's very much a "If you absolutely _must_ send and email from here.. fine. we'll let you, but you _really_ ought to use some other service."

Now... this might not be due solely to competitive pressures from Apple, but it was a topic of conversations I had with pro-privacy Android users I know who have been warming up to iOS. Feature introductions like this definitely take the edge off.
Yes I made the table, but which part of this table is misinformation? All data is valid. Twitter is not a good format to present a bunch of data, hence the convoluted link to a link to a link...

However, for your information, the 56% case fatality ratio is calculated according to an epidemiological method known to produce a good estimate. See https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ebf2/48c9fc0a1a23d1778b9408..., section Simple Estimators, specifically this formula:

e₂(s)=D(s)/{D(s)+R(s)} which is: deaths/(deaths+recoveries)

And the paper concludes: "The second simple estimate based on the ratio of deaths of those for whom the outcome is known, e₂, is reasonable at most points in the epidemic" ie. produces a good estimate of the eventual observed case fatality rate.
I've seen real estate agents using them for high altitude views of homes all the time. It does make a difference in addition to other pictures of homes. It's a view you otherwise wouldn't be able to see.
This got really bad in World of Warcraft: Legion, when people were deleting and re-creating their characters to try and get better loot.

The game had these "Legendary" items of incredible power you could attain that were insanely rare, but had a sort of "pity timer" where you'd get a higher and higher chance of obtaining one based on how long it'd been since your last item.

The problem is that the legendary items were almost inconceivably rare drops through pure random luck, but the escalating chance was really predictable. You were all but guaranteed to never get a legendary item through pure chance alone, but you were basically guaranteed to get one every two weeks if you did all the time-limited content available. (Dungeon raids you can do once per day/once per week, daily chore missions, etc).

For the first few months of the system's availability, after 4 legendary items you'd no longer get the "pity timer" bonus to your loot rolls on legendary items, so your character was effectively capped at 4 legendary items.

Some of the available items could increase your character's combat effectiveness by a relatively huge margin compared to others, and it only took about a week to power-level a new character and get it one or two legendary items, so for a while people were abandoning their max level, legendary-geared characters with 100+ hours invested into them to try again.
That may well be the case. I don't have any firsthand knowledge of the process. Do you?
Are the symptoms about the same as the flu? Does having it feel like a flu?
The US spends 60% of its budge on social security and medicare. Another 6% is just spend on interest. Spending on defense is 16% of the federal budget, and therefore dwarfed by welfare.

https://media.nationalpriorities.org/uploads/total_spending_...

Keep in mind, this does not account for state and local budgets, which is where infrastructure like roads is built and maintained.

As a percent of GDP, the US spends about 3% on defense.

Wasn't the rollout happening by region all through 2019? Doesn't necessarily mean EVERYONE is getting new data TODAY.

Look at the previous coverage on this blog - https://www.justinobeirne.com/
I've started about a half dozen companies over the decades, half of which were successful, profitable enterprises.

For all of them, I started with no safety net at all. Sometimes I had a side job (if you're starting a business, your business must be your main job and anything else is your side gig), sometimes I had an investor, and sometimes I white-knuckled it. There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to each approach.

Except for when I had an investor or side gig, I arranged my business so that it would generate some income from day one (that income being from efforts that were not what the business was attempting to do, but could leverage the same assets -- this was usually contract work. This is part of a business rule I believe very strongly in: anything you do should pay you in more than one way.)

That said, I'm currently preparing to start a new venture, and this time I'm building up a bankroll first, as I'm of the age where my risk tolerance is lower than it was when I was younger. My target bankroll is $100,000. That is money I can burn, and doesn't count retirement, personal savings, etc. $100,000 would let me work on the business without any additional income for two years.
Thanks.

If they in fact can't transmit, then this is OK. If they can or, even worse, have a long latency period and will show symptoms in 2 weeks, that is very, very scary.

Our best tool for diseases like this is contact tracing. And asymptomatic carriers make that very hard.

(Useless trivia, the first documented asymptomatic carrier who was infectious was a short order cook named Mary Mallon. She is better known as Typhoid Mary.)
I have experiences like those of the previous poster, but I also experience when listening to speech, so it's not specifically visual, at least for me. And no, I don't experience speech visually (unless I'm reading a text transcript).

- Rivian is integrating Alexa into its electric vehicle lineup, including its upcoming fleet of 100,000 all-electric Amazon delivery van. What this will do to Tesla?

- Amazon Music has more than 55 million customers worldwide. Collectively, in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Japan, Amazon Music customers have grown nearly 50% year-over-year;

- AWS announced the general availability of AWS Outposts, a fully-managed service that extends AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. On-premises is gaining importance? Trust issues?
The number of cases reported has been going up by 30% to 70% every day. People in China are taking a number of measures to limit spread but given the potentially long contagious incubation period of the virus it might be a while for that to reduce the visible increase even if it has been relatively effective.

I don't think "less car traffic means less shoppers" is true at all. If you look at any store on market street the majority of patrons did NOT drive there; and pedestrians are more likely to stop at multiple stores instead of "one and done."

A liveable, walkable downtown means that people can stop at stores and restaurants on the way to/from work in a way that just isn't convenient when driving.
How do you elevate a discipline by hiding literally everything behind NDAs?
Good points!

The trick will be finding one with Aphantasia, given my "proof" requires looking for someone who doesn't visualize AT ALL, yet still hears regular audio hallucinations.

There's a somewhat controversial book called The Origins of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind which seems to indicate audio hallucinations were quite common in earlier periods.

Housing has been a bitter historical and cross-cultural source of class conflict and oppression. In its current form in America, the bourgeois accumulate as much as they can like any unethical entity, and leverage it to maximize personal utility at the cost of the living conditions of the masses. It's always interesting to see how people use capitalism to indirectly (which is no excuse) cause this natural brutal nature of existence, to cause the common man (or woman) to "groan and sweat under a weary life".
Indeed, the F-16 was success, as well the F-18. F-15 was too a success, at its way. Another good example but now well retired was F-14. But the entire generation of planes of that era was really good. F-35 was beaten in dogfight by a F-16 in excercises. I don't think it's a good plane because it's heavy and want to do everything planes aren't good design either.
It was just said & implied to be negative. A lot of therapists will refuse to discuss their diagnosis with you and their methods beyond fairly simple questions. The best clue I got was the diagnosis as an identity crisis. Once you've been through enough psychotherapy you begin to see it's flaws.

Then why not do it everywhere and upstream the changes?
Distributed monoliths (or micro services) do have some advantages:

1. Easier for users to see "who owns what" (albeit a module pattern could fix this as well).

2. Different hardware resources or scaling for different parts of a monolith really isn't possible. If one module requires 16GB then everytime you scale a horizontally you must have at least 16GB, you're at the mercy of your worst module in the monolith.

3. Deploys are very difficult, and as you scale to over 10 developers increasingly becomes difficult to push up (it takes one persons bad commit to hold everyone in the organization from deploying).

4. Security boundaries are easier to define, each "module" in a monolith effectively has access to all resources for all modules.

5. Poly-languages are easier, albeit depending on the base language, you could do a lot of transpiling on a monolith but.. ew.

6. HTTP status codes and request paths can give you a clear view of how calls are happening in your system; in a monolith you'll only get stack traces generally on errors, not on successes, usually you need to invest more in static analysis and APM stuff for a monolith.

7. Microservices can be cheaper when you scale, you don't have the GCD of memory/CPU/disk requirements as you do in a monolith.

8. GCD of implementation details, if one request requires a sticky session, all of your requests require stick sessions...

9. More complex and long builds, most monoliths have component-based hot reloads, but even those can take 30s to a minute in my experience, and a full build, that's at least 20.

10. Harder to unit test, this can vary by language but without clear boundaries and resource definitions monoliths can be very tricky to unit test, microservices/distributed monoliths are inherently smaller with clearly declared resources so it becomes easier to find where and how data flows in them.
Virulence versus pathogenicity. Perhaps you contend that SARS' pathogenicity is greater than this coronavirus'? But virulence demands our attention, too. Why? Because public engagement can help prevent its spread.

When AIDS/HIV was near its peak, folks would often compare it in a similar fashion to cancer. If we ignore the fact that cancer is a big diverse bucket, most/many cancers really don't have any 'virulence' so getting public attention to drive best practices to mitigate spread just don't make any sense.
Why We Throttle (when streaming a 3D Earth)
The Yelp integration is so terrible because Yelp forces you to download the app to see any information.

My flow is: Find place via Apple Maps, click the reviews, get sent to Yelp's mobile website that says "We don't do mobile websites, download the app", then I say screw it and open up Google Maps.

You can raise money internationally. I did it. So "only Americans" is a total straw man.
This is what I don't understand when people claim things like "language is required for higher thought" or whatever (no link but I'm sure I've seen that claim numerous times across various articles). We necessarily do plenty of thinking without words. Certainly you can be someone who focuses more on the words or less on the words, and maybe word-based people are naturally better at talking because their thoughts are mostly in word-form to begin with, but you can't put all the thoughts in words.
