Well, yeah, but ya know, sometimes you treat cancer with radiation... Just like you sometime need to apply more force and violence to end a war sooner and minimize overall destruction. Expecting for the Marshall island's vote to be considered in the US or the EU is not practical problem solving.

That's assuming the distribution within that range is uniform. The edge case would be that 1% of population being recommended 7 hours and 99% recommended 9 hours. But the recommendations of that nature are typically imprecise anyways.

How to debug wasm? I previously tried compiling llvm into wasm, and the debugability was very poor. I could only rely on limited stack trace and logging.
Playing devil's advocate: Why does the developer need to know why one bug is more important than another, if the priorities are clearly defined? I.e., if the backlog manager sets the priorities according to the customer's/business' needs, then the developer just needs to know that the cosmetic bug has a higher priority than the crash bug, but they don't need to know why the priorities are ordered that way to accomplish their tasks. And if they do want to know for their own knowledge, they can just ask someone who understands the needs, without the need for a more complex set of bug report attributes.
Let's get the logic straight here:

- The Vue project has more than 20 core team members and hundreds of contributors from all over the world. There are currently TWO active core team members working for big companies in China.

- These two core team members make their contributions to Vue on their own will. The companies they work for do not dictate how they contribute to Vue, nor do these companies have any control over how the project evolves.

- These Chinese companies do have to comply with local government regulations to be able to operate in China. Does that make every business in China evil? You have to realize that the Chinese government !== everything China. People in China needs to live and work, that means they have to grow their economy and start businesses regardless of what kind of government they have to put up with. Equaling running a successful business in China to supporting totalitarian politics is like equaling being successful in America to supporting patriarchy and white supremacy.

Yet here we are: "Avoid the project because evil China." - quite a stretch, isn't it? By the same logic, projects directly owned and controlled by a company that has been the most significant contributor to political misinformation probably should be avoided at all cost too. Yet to you it seem to be no big deal. Just gotta love the double standards here.

That's why I'm trying to estimate energy requirements of such a process. Somebody experienced with gas liquification could perhaps help.

You have to build these cleaning devices, and you'll need to build energy sources for them. We do have both power and increase in power supply with time; the question is specific numbers, which I'm trying to estimate.
> technology is going to be a part of your kids' lives

So, we're supposed to throw our hands up in the air and just allow surveillance and tracking as companies wish? Or allow schools to train kids to use google or apple so they become customers later on?

Technology -can- improve learning, definitely. This does not mean it -does- improve learning in every case. Regular software (especially for businesses) is often crap, so why would educational software necessarily be any better or enhance learning?

> and seems to have a lack of rigor

This is like saying "2+2=4" seems to have a lack of rigor. Google doing stuff like this should be a surprise to no one. This behavior targeting teachers, who frequently lack time and money, is almost predatory.

This is such a dismissive, prototypical HN comment on a post where someone is trying to bring light to an issue.
Apple reported supply chain disruptions. If the government overreacts to a virus and disrupts supply chains over it, that's still a material impact on the market independent of the actual severity of the virus.

Luckily products from well established companies are still free from fake reviews (on Amazon) by and large. As long as you avoid the hordes of 5 star products with very generic brand names that you have never heard of, you can still trust reviews to have some degree of accuracy.

Not to say that the suspiciously cheap product with near perfect reviews that always shows up at the top is always the wrong choice. I bought a knock off dremel for $20, and later ended up using it to cut quite a bit of 1.8in mild steel and it performed great. Only a little bit of smoking from the internals. On the other hand, I bought a cheap microphone from the same style of seller, and it was an unmitigated piece of garbage.
I think it's a wise move because of both outcomes:

1. There is no pandemic - it's a valuable, real-world logistics and pain-points training exercise.

2. There is a moderate pandemic - they had extra time and resources to prepare.

I just doubt any governmental body besides perhaps even the US military could build 8000+ of bed capacity, positive air pressure triage and care facilities in 8 days as happened in China. That was an organizational, logistics and execution achievement. Different agencies globally should be sharing information and best-practices across countries, not going all puffery nationalistic. Solidarity or divided-we-fall.
It's a lovely dark pattern lately. I'm also fairly annoyed by another pattern which involves giving the user a "carry on" vs "configure" decision, which when opened shows that only essential cookies are enabled. While this is probably closer to the correct implementation, I'm fairly sure that it's meant to subtly steer people away from the configure option [1], via "see, there's nothing to configure, you should have just picked the other option". You can be sure though, that the other option had everything and the kitchen sink enabled.

Cool stuff! I did some experiments with pre-rendering Milkdrop visuals for high-res uploading to YouTube which might be of interest to you.

Transcribing the cuneiform script is difficult. There are hundreds of signs. Transcribing a tablet requires some understanding of the language because a sign can take on many different values (polyphony), some signs are so similar that they can only be differentiated by context, and if you're dealing with a language like Hittite, you need to recognize when a sign should be understood as representing an Akkadian or Sumerian word or grammatical construct as a scribal abbreviation. All this changes from language to language and era to era. Also, how signs are written changes over time. And then, getting into the physical aspects of working with tablets, pretty much all of them have damage. Cuneiform is a 3D script and tablets requires varying the light, which won't be captured from a single photograph. Indeed, line drawings are the standard way of publishing tablets. When photographs are used, many are taken with varying light. Some computational techniques are beginning to be used, but very few tablets are recorded in this way. Many tablets are in fragments spread around the museums of the world—figuring out which fragments go together or which tablets are duplicates of each other (to fill in damage) is the largest part of publishing cuneiform texts.

"""ix people have tested positive for the new coronavirus in California — two in Southern California and the four people now in the Bay Area. The San Benito County patients, who are both 57, were at home until early Monday, when they were taken by ambulance to UCSF after their symptoms suddenly worsened. They are being cared for in isolation at the hospital.

In a statement, UCSF said that it “specializes in the care of patients with complex illnesses, including infectious diseases like the novel coronavirus.” Doctors there “also treated patients during past epidemics, such as SARS in 2003.”"""

(of all the places in the US you'd want to treat patients while studying them, UCSF is one of the top ones. They really are experts in infectious diseases).

18% of cases end up serious or critical. Out of cases with an outcome, for 8% the outcome is death. [1] It's not just the flue. I agree that there should be no overreaction and that that part might be more worrying but it's pretty serious.

The Tesla roof is not representative of the market. Their targeting a market segment that’s not going to buy an ‘ugly’ solar panel. It’s the same reason their selling a 250k roadster and a 35k car at the same time.

Anyway, most people pay for solar installations via loans. Generally the out of pocket costs are close to zero and monthly costs are equivalent to grid power. In some cases installing solar is a pure cost savings with zero upfront costs and lower monthly costs.
You're ignoring the long incubation + contagious + lack of symptoms period.
Great idea! I was thinking the same thing. We're going to try and make the UI/UX a lot better and post a new guide soon.
70 year olds too have their own virus stories outside the 40 year period you mention. Especially 1957 and 1968 (indian context). Biowarfare paranoia aside, I don’t think there is anything special about the modern era when it comes to the genesis of new viruses.
They sent me to the only authorized repair center within 200 miles, then the repair center left my car outside in the rain and filled with water for two months), then USAA fought me over my demands to have the car replaced. Only for the repair shop to have an unlicensed tech work on the car and do 80k in damage due to his failed welding / repairs.. It took 9 months to get that sorted out and USAA was horrible the whole time. I couldn't believe it.

Previously I had an M3 that had the bumper ripped off while parked and they had it taken care of fast, even going after the repair shop for non oem parts under the bumper.

I guess it's a really mixed bag with them over the past few years they've been expanding.
IMO it should have an option to stick with dictionary words, I spent a long time on puzzles that had 'zdnet' and 'vsnet' as words which were basically impossible to work out without trial & error since there are no english words in the dictionary that starts with `vs` or `zd`.

If includes cryptic abbreviations, brand and product names the number of possibilities open up exponentially and you can no longer rely on English rules to help solve the puzzle, it basically becomes a trial & error permutations game.

I don't use Gmail anymore as a primary address, but when I do check my old address, Gmail takes up to 30 seconds to load on Firefox. Emails often take several seconds to delete, and if I close the tab a few seconds after deleting the emails, they don't actually get deleted, even if they appear to.

I am not sure what exactly Gmail does on Firefox, but it makes using AOL.com in 2020 feel like a better email experience.

Well there is good reason they don't want to hear it. It's a stupid idea. The last thing you want is some driver 300 miles away on a computer not paying attention, or with the ability to crash a semitruck, or with the uncertainty that your entire fleet goes down if your network goes down, or if someone finds a weakness in your security and starts crashing all your trucks. I mean whatever moron was responsible for this path in this company (likely the CEO) should be fired and replaced. It looks like at this point they will just end up liquidating this company anyway.
Agree it it serious just as the flu is serious. We don't need to create a panic and literally bring the global economy to a halt is my point. Just reading the responses I sometimes think people are cheering for pandemic.

Priority/Severity is a good, useful way of describing things.

Is Ruby on Rails Secure to Run on in 2020?
Fantastic work, subscribed to updates. Few ideas:

- Don't add many more to disperse user attention, keep it focused. Maybe up to 6 activities?

- Conclude each activity with some clear and concrete actions. For example, the "spend that green" could lead to www.tmrow.com for personal tracking. The "killed for food" could link to a friendly guide on how to lower consumption.

- The "mother earth" game is too text-heavy combined with real-time pressure, I would re-think it for better user experience.

>maybe call outs if it gets into a situation it can't figure out

How would it predict that these situations are coming with enough time to hand off to a human driver? I think it would need some form of crowd sourced or externally gathered data. The truck itself couldn't gather this in time.

>A creep mode where it moves quite slowly till the network improves would let the lower bandwidth or latency connection still be used safely.

Sounds like a traffic nightmare.

>Personally I always thought the answer would be self driving on highways to cargo hubs for delivery by human drivers

I do agree with this. I firmly believe that full self driving will probably never be possible for anything except for Interstate/main highways that are well maintained and very standardized in their construction, markings, etc.

It's not a bug report if there's no one consuming the backlog. It's a wish list.

That makes me not want to use Chrome :/

Yes exactly -- it's two different sources of information that one party is not likely to have access to. Severity from a technical-only perspective is important to have. The sense of whether something is easy to fix (which should be size) is also important.

Ultimately you could have a low-severity bug, but it impacts a really important customer who cares about it, so it's high priority. This is the most common case I've seen.

Severity also can impact whether something gets prioritized at all. If it's low-severity and the business side isn't there either, maybe it just doesn't get done. Whereas something with high severity but low business impact still probably needs to be done regardless or it will lead to bigger problems.
Awesome yes... but definitely not irrational.
