I strongly disagree. The articles I linked talk about 2018 budget cuts and eliminations that went through. The article you linked talk about proposed 2020 budget cuts, and how they came up at this week's democratic debate.

They are not the same issue. Taken from the FP article linked above:

>In the spring of 2018, the White House pushed Congress to cut funding for Obama-era disease security programs, proposing to eliminate $252 million in previously committed resources for rebuilding health systems in Ebola-ravaged Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Under fire from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump dropped the proposal to eliminate Ebola funds a month later. But other White House efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated.

>In May 2018, Trump ordered the NSC’s entire global health security unit shut down, calling for reassignment of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer and dissolution of his team inside the agency. The month before, then-White House National Security Advisor John Bolton pressured Ziemer’s DHS counterpart, Tom Bossert, to resign along with his team. Neither the NSC nor DHS epidemic teams have been replaced. The global health section of the CDC was so drastically cut in 2018 that much of its staff was laid off and the number of countries it was working in was reduced from 49 to merely 10. Meanwhile, throughout 2018, the U.S. Agency for International Development and its director, Mark Green, came repeatedly under fire from both the White House and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. And though Congress has so far managed to block Trump administration plans to cut the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by 40 percent, the disease-fighting cadres have steadily eroded as retiring officers go unreplaced.

In 2018, 80% of the staff working at the CDC global health section were let go because of Trump budget cuts.
We need a neutral, third-party service that monitors other service providers. That is, checks periodically for such things as a host being reachable, DNS working, certificates working, etc., which notifies both the service provider company and the end-user when there is a discrepancy, but most importantly, acts as a source of records in the case of a dispute -- in other words, they hold a record of what the service should be and should do. That is, when the service provider creates a service record, they would cryptographically sign it, and forward it to this future third-party service. The same for deletions.

Now we can track, record, and audit that service provider's promises...

That way, the service provider can't use an all-too-easy excuse like "we can't find that record in our database -- so you must not have ever created one..."
Sorry for the double reply, but-

"all of this screen placement occurs under contract and marketing direction from Apple"

Your link seems to go to efforts to state the opposite. Yes Apple has a liaison and yes they work with productions, but compared to the industry this is absolutely tepid.

So to contrast it, when you see HP or Sony or other such products, 100% of the time those companies paid a six figure+ sum and provided hardware for free. When you see Apple, the going case seems to be that you can negotiate free hardware if you want, but that's it.

I had similar problems with that bot recently (i.e. the python bot "certbot"), so I looked around and found a very nice alternative named PJAC[0]. I have now switched a bunch of my domains to use PJAC, and so far it works like a charm. Its only dependency is Java (version 8 or higher). Everything else is bundled in the downloaded artifact, just as it should be.

>I've always wondered who buys old Pentium 3s for thousands of dollars on eBay

People trying to build their vintage dream machine mostly I suppose. Folks like LGR on YouTube [0] to some degree will pay more than one would expect for a specific piece of hardware and people building private collections in general. That Nintendo-Playstation prototype unit is currently going for 300,000 USD [1] right now at auction (and I believe Palmer Luckey is still the high bidder, he was a couple weeks ago per his Twitter).

I've paid an obscene (to me based on my income) amount for vintage tech before, as well as other things that I collect ( for example 3x spot price for an ugly silver art bar that most people would only pay spot for because that specific variety of art bar has significance to us old time members of /r/silverbugs and I wanted a second one).

I mean, remember when Bezos spent more money than most people make in their lifetime to salvage an F1 engine from Apoloo 11 from the ocean floor? [3]

Is this limited strictly to the GoodReads API or does it pull in more interesting data like the shelf-tags? When I did https://www.gwern.net/GoodReads the other month, I had to literally scrape shelves by hand because the API doesn't cover them and they lie to bots.
Most people won't even sacrifice food they like to avoid the suffering of conscious beings. The "environment" is even more abstract. It's a non-starter.
X-band transmitters on the global marketplace
That all makes sense. My question was more from a business logistics perspective - are you employing the counselors, or outsourcing to a third party? There is a lack of supply in that market and depending on growth, you may find it difficult to hire a large group of counselors. If you are outsourcing, be cognizant of who you are using as a vendor.

My fund's investment is in the genetic counseling space so I'm biased, but one of the issues to consider is using a lab-affiliated counseling group vs. truly independent counseling group. Another issue is, some counseling companies are focused on physician authorization (pre-test approvals to increase test volume) while others are focused on return of results, ongoing counseling etc. (the latter being more expensive).

Anyway, all things to think about. I also echo some of the other comments here around competing vs Invitae, Color, etc. They are all-in-one shops with scale and can be formidable - but also a potential exit opportunity if you've developed any unique/defensible IP.

Happy to chat more over email if you'd like.

I'm wondering if confirming COVID-19 with a test now matters much from the perspective of a patient and doctor. At this point, with public-to-public transmission known to be occurring, if an MD assesses a symptomatic patient and suspects COVID-19, they'd likely isolate the patient immediately.

Does the treatment regimen differ much between severe flu and COVID-19?

The author did it in one line of Perl, using an existing library. How is that different from using awk? Yes awk is widely deployed but so is CPAN. In any case deployment isn’t part of the argument for using the UNIX philosophy.
Can you expand a little bit on the physician-ordered aspect then? Was this purely a policy decision that your team made or did you arrive at it through regulation or related externalities? If the former, was there any particular concern that drove the decision?

Sorry, one additional question. Is your company willing to do testing on pathology samples (i.e. from a biopsy) as well or just from the collection method that you ship to the customer?
> In my everyday work, I use Unix commands many times daily to perform diverse and very different tasks. I very rarely encounter tasks that cannot be solved by joining together a couple of commands.

I've been turning this around in my head for the past few days. If things keep getting worse (and there's no signs they'll get better soon) I'll bring it up with my co-founders.

Interesting. So they are catching a ride in the hype train by adopting the hyped technology... So this is why the tech stack is picked by and marketed to the business/directors rather then engineering.

That is exactly the case, if CPU is the bottleneck in your already-parallel application. It's a case where we really shouldn't be layering different parallel bits together in one codebase, but might be doing it naively.

> I assume that if you integrate Babel and Webpack via webpack "loaders", some amount of work is saved (just guessing though)

The Webpack babel-loader just calls Babel with the source code, it doesn't reuse Webpack's AST: https://github.com/babel/babel-loader/blob/master/src/index....

It has to do it that way, since Babel could parse some syntax that Webpack doesn't recognise (like Flow or TypeScript annotations). Webpack loaders can even take non-JS input and produce JS output (eg. "svgr" takes SVG images and produces React components) so I don't think Webpack can even assume that the input is JS at that point.
Very likely! Considering a lot of the world could see an economic contraction shortly, I can’t imagine people continue to consume mediocre food delivery at inflated prices if that occurs. Unemployment and pay cuts go further if you get your food yourself, and public market investors are in no hurry to adopt a dumpster fire (a la WeWork) into their portfolios.

As I mention elsewhere, both can be true.

The CDC itself isn't majorly affected and day-to-day operations can continue as normal following the standard playbook. Especially at the local and state level.

However, the Federal pandemic response teams have been gutted, positions not filled, and so we don't have the leadership to coordinate a nationwide response as new facts are discovered by the Executive Branch.
Coronavirus research breakthrough has Toronto roots
Part of the point of the academy is to have people argue wildly different positions. Certainly debating the merits of colonialism would fall in there.

If debates like this don't happen, you end up with a populace that has no idea why certain things that were tried in the past went horribly wrong, even if they seemed innocuous.

Personally I'd far rather be exposed to outrageous claims and work it out for myself.
White House Moves to Screen Scientists’ Statements on Coronavirus

Indeed, my employer (Netherlands) is also quite flexible here. Problem is that it almost always comes at the cost of promotions. I've never seen someone who works parttime get promoted. Everyone who gets promoted works full-time.

In other words, going part-time is a commitment to the job-level you're in, in my experience. It signals to management you're good, reliable, ready to stay in that position perpetually and do a decent job, but not up for anything ambitious. Whether this is true is a different story, but it's how in my experience it gets interpreted.

That works fine if you're a 45 year old parent making 2x the median wage in a mid-level manager position working 36 hours (one week 5 days one week 4 days), 32 hours (4 days a week) etc, because your salary doesn't need to grow, plus even at parttime its sufficient. But at the start of your career making 70% of the median wage, going parttime both hurts career growth and isn't always financially feasible.
Also worth considering whether you really need to aggregate all cases in the same province. If you can get higher-resolution data, use it. (E.g. for each prefecture in Hubei province: https://news.sina.cn/project/fy2020/yq_province.shtml?provin... Their visualization isn't great, but someone else could use their data to do a better job.)

The bags are an example, it's very recent thing so near the top of my mind.

My point which I articulated poorly is that when we push environmental friendly things we should push for things which are more/actually effective, e.g. make sure you use your car for as long as possible, and build smaller, well insulated, energy efficient homes.
Hey... you could spend more time outside if you automated your content and social media posts with our clever tool :D
I started with Hasura and I implemented it on two business projects. It was a great first step but the lack of customization quickly became an issue. Having the logic split between several services was another big issue (Hasura + firebase auth + serverless functions for any logic). Ultimately it resulted in a slower development speed than what we were doing at my company before using Hasura (custom GraphQL backend development).

Several months ago we switched to Postgraphile, and it solved the issues mentioned above. The plugin system allows us to implement the custom logic in a simple and performant way, whether it's a custom validation on a mutation or tweaking the GraphQL type system. And all the logic is centralized in one project. It's clean, fast and testable.

Another big advantage is that Postgraphile relies on Postgres RLS for permissions, which allows us to manage it using normal SQL migrations. In comparison, we had a lot of pain evolving an existing permission schema on Hasura.

Postgraphile can also automatically expose a Relay compliant schema, supporting Relay connections. It's not possible with Hasura.

Except for pure read-only GraphQL APIs, I strongly recommend looking into Postgraphile over Hasura.

Painfully ironic that the static landing page for a service offering to improve website performance (by adding more technology) scores a miserable 66% on mobile and 90% on desktop with Google's PageSpeed Insights[0]. I honestly didn't realise static sites could score so poorly.

I thoroughly agree.

At this point, people around the world are getting testing, treatment, and hospitalization that costs little or nothing. In the US, the health secretary is strongly implying that people will have to pay for vaccines and care.

I have to expect that Americans will wonder how it can be that the world's richest country, a superpower, with supposedly the best health care in the world, is also the only country in which people go bankrupt just trying to stay alive during a pandemic.
”Change < to &lt; in the database?”

Of course not. The fact that “<“ is risky isn’t part of the string, it’s part of the output format (HTML).

If you were to write that string to json or csv, you would have to special-case double quotes. In. POSIX shell, asterisks and question marks need special attention, etc.
I don't agree that the people who wrote the law assumed that at all. The actual text of the law gives no indication of that. But regardless, neither you nor I have any idea what was in the heads of lawmakers at the time, so any such speculation is useless. All we have is the text.

FWIW, I text in an order to our local burger place now and then, as I'm a regular, they know me, and I get the same thing every time. Normally it's something like "regular - I'll be in in 15 min". If there's a problem, they text back with "no" or "wait" or "30 min" or whatever...

"Food ordering" outside of "food delivery" should be a separate category. "Food ordering" businesses, imo, likely have a wider audience.
