Because ultimately it's likely we build unneeded infrastructure that is wasted, including useless companies. Then you still have to pay off those loans slowing growth afterwards. That might be companies that fail or banks with almost failing loans, retarding growth like in Japan for now decades, as well as governments having to reduce spending (or not stimulate) in the recession period because they had so much stimulous during "good times".

In the us it's extremely likely when the next recession comes, Republicans will rediscover their belief in avoiding deficit spending when they are no longer in power. We also will have less things to do to stimulate then in new ways because we already had been doing them. So many political groups want austerity when the economy is hurting instead of stimulous in recession.

There is usually something open, and the main closures are just for a couple of days during the thick of it, and then afterwards there are lots of CNY sales going on. But that isn’t the point: we usually get out for a few days anyways during CNY, but we are more than a week after CNY-eve, so things should be returning to normal.
To use sudo normally requires the user's password; to edit bashrc does not. So yes, this is a trivial privilege escalation mechanism of a sort.

It does require though that the user both is allowed to run an interactive shell with sudo, and actually does so, since you have to wait for him to run sudo in bash.

That depends on where you are coming from. If you are using Godot 3.2 stable then you just need to set "Hand Tracking" to "optional" in the Android export settings.

As for the code for using it there are a initialization steps you have to do in your main scene. I suggest you take a look at the hand tracking demo in the godot_oculus_mobile plugin (https://github.com/GodotVR/godot_oculus_mobile)

However, if you are using an older beta release of 3.2 then I suggest upgrading to 3.2-stable because the packaged apk in the export templates does not have to correct permissions to support hand tracking.

Not sure if everyone knows about this, but if you click on the headlines on this website, like "Google Maps Hacks," in this case, there's an article there. Most of us are using the comment space in this forum to discuss what's in the articles behind each of the headlines. It's a really great forum for doing this because there are many bright people close to the tech discussed. For example, it sounds like you've got some experience with the tech, so I'm curious what your thoughts would be on the content in the article behind this headline.

The time taken might be factored in but:

* On busy streets, left turns through uncontrolled intersections can have high variability. So you might be unlucky and get stuck for several minutes waiting to turn. A slower, but more predictable route might be better if you need to arrive on time.

* Left turns are simply more stressful than right turns. Saving a minute might not be worth the pain.

There was off ramp that changed 4 years ago near where I live. Google maps was correct, but Apple always would have you take the wrong exit and you had to loop back. With the most recent update this is finally fixed. However most people still saying that Apple Maps in unreliable. Having big issues like that for years can really damage people’s perception of your product long after it has been changed.

>there would already be much more deaths than there is now

Why? People can be sick for quite some time (in this case, a month, maybe?) and then ultimately die from the disease, this is actually like ... the most common scenario ...

I have been unpleasantly surprised by how much people struggle to understand this simple concept. Recovered / (recovered+death) is how you do it. It's common sense, come on ...
The USA has a surface of 9.834.000 km². California is ranked #17 within the US based on population density and has only 97 people / km².

No, we use it to emphasize that what we're talking about is as of today, but we can't make projections on the future.

You would use it in a sentence like : au jour d'aujourd'hui there are 'only' 300 deaths from the Chinese virus (implying that you don't know if it's going to get much worse or not).

I’m saying HK is not on mandatory lockdown. People are going outside and there are shops that are open. I’m sure there are some closures but it’s not government mandated.
> However, we must remember that the situation would likely not have occurred in the first place if the people speaking out about it early on weren't punished, which wouldn't happen in most western countries as local governments have way less power and way less incentives to make that kind of thing happen.

I'm not saying the Chinese government doesn't have problems, nor am I saying free speech is bad, but I have no idea how you could come to this conclusion that free speech would somehow limit the spread of this disease. We have free speech in the US and that's literally led to the rise of anti inoculation advocacy.

> Half the Web was fan portals about Animorphs, with inexplicable splash pages warning you that their site worked best if you had a 640×480 screen.

This is an amazing reference. K. A. Applegate's post-series Animorphs site, hirac delest, is still online - and was originally written around this era (series ended in 2001, so its last update, if not creation, is a bit later). It has some newer stuff like CSS, but definitely check out the source here as well: http://www.hiracdelest.com/database/index_database.htm

Just with a quick scan on the main page, it has a mix of upper and lowercase tags, a "best views in" resolution, various font tags, and body tag similar to the SpaceJam one:

<body text="#CCCCCC" link="#33CCFF" vlink="#33CCFF" onload="MM_preloadImages('../images/menu-v2/over_thumb/about.jpg')">

I am developing on a linux laptop with a mediocre graphics card.

Godot is a ~500MB Download (including the export templates), and that's it. It's fast, and does not take much space (disk and ram). Once started it takes up 0.8% of my RAM (about 256MB).

Oculus Quest support is currently only semi official. You have to compile the godot_oculus_mobile plugin yourself but that is really easy and in the future it will be available as an asset from the assetlibrary.

As for assets I used, you can import fbx, obj and gltf that should be sufficient enough for most basic things.

Mostly my workflow is to download something from sketchfab or blendswap pepare it in Blender, export it as gltf and import it in Godot.

Or for simpler stuff like the claws or the head cues I just do it in Blender myself.
Never really understood how WeWork was considered to be a “tech company” when in reality, at least to an outsider looking in, it was always a real estate company. I guess being a real estate company doesn’t attract as many investors and hype as a tech company does. Maybe I’m wrong and they are a tech company but it really does not appear like it. Makes way more sense for them to have some one with real estate experience run them rather than some tech exec.
Is it? I think we can decide for ourselves.
well yes, but I think it's going to make it easier for the not-so-tech-savvy to find more.. the doxxers are going to find all that an more to wage a whine campaign - so might as well make it easier for the non-haters to find other places to engage.. hopefully there will be services that are impossible to shutdown in the list - of course that will vary by region and issues I would think.
I will risk writing that you had Navigon or TomTom. At least in Europe those were the two main choices.

I often use Navigon I keep in a (very old) iPhone, it has a fantastic feature that you can download the maps for countries. I like it better for long distance driving than Google Maps.
>There's no way to optimize for minimizing left turns, especially onto busy streets.

Woah, I've never heard anyone else mention this problem. It sounds strange having it said "out loud" because I thought it was just a weird personal quirk/irritation of mine.

I have always wished there was a route option of "easy mode driving," or "no pressure route."

Often the "quickest" route google maps shows me is one that has some sort of difficult turn across multiple lanes going the other direction into a "suicide lane" or what have you.

Either that, of some sort of merging is necessary where you're basically at the mercy of other drivers letting you in (especially tough if you're not an aggressive driver like myself).

Honestly, some maneuvers give me a lot of anxiety, like when I'm on a very busy two lane road (no middle lane) and google is telling me to turn left, so I have to sit there with my blinker on feeling terrible for pissing off all the drivers that are now pilling up behind me, while I anxiously wait for an opening.

Unless Im late for something important, I'd gladly go 5 minutes or more out of my way not to experience that kind of driving pressure/social anxiety. I have a moderate anxiety disorder so I know this might not be normal.

But you're absolutely right! I suppose it does in fact boil down to just having a route option with "no left turns" -- I had never thought of it that way. That's such a simple way to solve 95% of the problem.

Edit: a left turn lane, with a green left turn light is totally fine.

Has anyone here ever had an job candidate conduct a code review on supplied code as part of an interview?

I have a theory that the way someone does code reviews will say a lot more about them than a white boarding problem. 1) You'd get a good sense of their attention to detail and ability to think about code without actually running it. 2) It could cover not just bugs/edge cases/performance issues/depth of knowledge, but also patterns and best practices. 3) You could see their communication style and their ability to offer criticism without belittling people.

Like the Idea though I’m not a designer! Very good strategy to start your MVP with human powered engine, but I guess eventually you would need to make it AI powered to automate the search if you gain traction and need to scale. It would be too much effort to just do human powered search to just show the results while you are not sure if the users would be interested in any of them! Just to look back in history, Yahoo was a human powered search and google is an AI powered search and only one of them is alive today:)
The number of cases is growing exponentially. If it takes a few weeks for the disease to kill a person, then the low number of deaths relative to the number of infections is indicative of that lag time.

You might do better to compare the number of deaths to the number of infected from a few weeks ago, which was a much lower number than today.
And the company now seems to be valued as a real estate -- not a "tech" -- business...

...which makes sense, because WeWork is a real estate business, albeit one with an unproven model.

Yes, sadly they are becoming average computers and loosing their original ThinkPad ethos.

HK has a dozen confirmed cases. Shenzhen, the city bordering HK, has a hundred confirmed cases.

HK had experienced SARS, and the magnitude of the epidemic, in terms of number of infected globally, has already exceeded that of SARS. Together with government's inaction (HK government is refusing to close down its border where 60s country or so are now blocking entry from China).

HK's medical system is overwhelmed by mainland patients. The nurses and doctors are orchestrrating a strike to urge government closing down its border before the epidemic go out of control. Last strike from medical professionals were 30 years ago to fight for better wage. This time for public good
That's the thing about philosophy - it doesn't take any special tools or rely on modern technology to study, just intellect. People today aren't any more or less sophisticated than the people of thousands of years ago, and them no more than the people thousands of years before them.

People do treat these as binary typecasting instead of shifting scales. On the leadership side, it means that they will treat as immutable personality type something that may be just reaction to the position you are in.

And once you self-identify as pioneer (because it sounds cool) you just become more of pioneer and prevent yourself advantages of process (or vice versa).

That is similar to the same problem as with Meyer-Briggs - most people are in the middle of all scales and their result shift over time. Those in the extreme end are rare. But both extreme and and middle get the same type description.

And you end up inflexibly casted in one group although you are more similar to people in different groups that are also in the center then to extremes of own group.
Infections are doubling every few days, so yes most infections occurred very recently. If it takes a month from initial infection to declare someone "disease-free", then there might only be ~300 people to that point.
Yeah, perceptions like that are really hard to shake, because those people are likely all using Google Maps. I found Apple Maps used to be less reliable than Google Maps, but would still use it. For places that I wasn't sure of, I'd often double check on Google Maps just to be sure. Lately I've been finding more and more instances where - when they differ - the Apple Maps result is the correct one.

It'll be interesting to see how Apple communicate this to iOS users, and if they'll go out of their way to get back users they've lost to Google Maps.

I'm based in the UK, YMMV
>according to various models the infection rate should shift from exponential growth to an s-curve function where growth rapidly falls off

I'm sort of skeptical of such models because the quality of their output is entirely dependent on the data coming in. There were anecdotal accounts of hospitals in China running out of test kits. Limited test kits -> limited diagnosis -> underreported infection numbers -> misleading models. Garbage in, garbage out.

Globalization kept inflation at bay. Instead of upping prices due to increased production costs, enterprises in advanced economies moved production to China & co.

This is not necessarily a bad thing of course, as China catches up and the ‘free’ markets work efficiently. Meanwhile the middle-class in the developped countries gets hurt, thus their economies see little inflation.

Another argument for this would be that everything not outsource-able saw rather higher inflation than the CPI numbers. (Housing, education etc.)
