OK, thanks, I managed to find the form they sent me. It was the Census' American Community Survey, which claims "Your Response is Required by Law". I agree that cooperation with the decennial census is required by law to the extent it collects ages and citizenship status of household individuals, but I do not agree that the Census clause of the Constitution authorizes the collection of the American Community Survey information, which is vastly beyond the scope of Congressional districting needs. The claim that my response is required by law is fallacious and is worthy of being challenged in court.

> Could you not answer because you didn't know, or you didn't want to answer those questions?

Didn't know many. Didn't see how the Census clause authorized the collection of personal and private information they were demanding I turn over accurately under criminal penalty otherwise. Not knowing was sufficient to not be able to respond.

The amount of money matters too. I'm sure if we were willing to plough 5% of the US budget into the VC approach we'd see bigger results.
If you're not doing a business that can plausibly generate billions of dollars in the lifespan of a VC investment, you're probably not a good fit, because most of the returns in VC portfolios come from success on that scale. That's not vanity; it's just mathematics.

I'm with you, in that I'd much rather finance a business on revenue than on speculative investments. But I think too many people blame VC for something that's kind of intrinsic to their business model.

If you want to blame VCs for something, blame them for never giving a straight "no" answer when they know that's what their answer is, thus necessitating the dance described by the first half of this guide. That's not intrinsic to the model; that's just them being dicks.
This is important, but also note that the Model 3 cost ($40k-$60k) is above the average new vehicle price ($35k) and Tesla still can’t build enough to meet demand.

If Tesla hits $100/kWh, combustion vehicles are done. They will never have a lack of buyers while legacy automakers collapse under their exciting capital cost structure (Ford is already in junk territory, and other automakers aren’t far behind).

You realize that the government is trying to get the right to have backdoors to allow for surveillance.

As far as what the government is presently doing. The “war on drugs” is presently more focused on minorities while drugs are treated as a “disease” in rural America.

Presently, my son had four or five keys on his key ring that looked alike and he fumbled through them trying to get in our house. I made him a different color key so the overzealous neighbors who look at him strangely wouldn’t harass him (or call the police) for breaking into his own house.

So yeah, I have a good reason to be worried about the government wanting more power to surveil people and to have a back door for encryption.

I've never heard this argument before. Generally China steals IP because it's faster and cheaper to build something when you can skip years or decades of R&D. I have trouble swallowing the "shared for the good of all" argument because I can't think of any instances where they actually do that. Instead it appears they just use stolen IP to fast track localized versions of things, or offer competitive products that undercut western prices.

China has for many years been relegated to the role of cheap laborious manufacturing for other countries, only to be stuck buying back the same things they helped build. Much of their IP theft supports plans to move away from that model and toward more localized advanced manufacturing and production. See the "Made in China 2025" plan for a literal blueprint of all the areas they plan on bolstering their economy, and you'll realize they overlap with IP theft instances.

Are the apportionments done based on the number of census forms returned, though, or based on the Census Bureau's best estimate of population? Presumably the Bureau have a better guess than that, using an adjustment factor that could be different for each state.

> I really can't face eating the amount of spam that it would require to insure against a significant disaster, assuming there isn't one. Or peanut butter.

Hah! Admittedly, I usually go through more of the pasta, oatmeal, and rice over time than I do the other things like spam. However, I've got a can of spam here that has a "best by" date of 2025. It probably will last beyond that if the conditions are right. So let's think about this... Let's say you have 30 cans of spam, enough to have one every day for a month. If they last about 5 years on the shelf, that means you'd have to eat 1 can every other month if I understand the math correctly. Doesn't sound too bad to me! Of course this does mean keeping somewhat close track of what's closer to expiration.

> If I have water and the ability to cook, potatoes seem like pretty much the cheapest source of calories that won't quickly spoil as long as you keep them where it's dark and cool. I wonder why people don't recommend stocking up on them?

I don't know. I have no experience with storing potatoes, so I don't know how long they last on their own. That seems like a good idea on the face of it. Sorta off topic, I do know one guy who stealthily plants potatoes in the foothills and occasionally digs them up to eat, with the side motivation that they'd be supplemental survival food if need be. I don't know how practical that is, but that's kinda neat nonetheless.

The ALSA API (the fundamental device driver layer) hasn't changed in any significant way in more than 20 years. There was one trivial change that might require a 1 line change in a program that happened to use that particular call, but not all Linux audio apps did so.

I don't know what you mean by "cannot export in standard formats", unless you're referring to something like AAF.

AAF is a closed-source proprietary standard for "session files" that fundamentally relies on utterly closed Microsoft APIs. There are some incomplete open source implementations that use a GNU efffort to reimplement those APIs but AAF is also the prime example of design-by-committee. I will never put time into trying to support AAF. Note also that AAF support is missing in major DAWs and users need to rely on 3rd party translators such as Chicken Systems AATranslator (RIP).

If you're referring to standard formats for audio files (WAV, AIFF, CAF and more), then I really don't know what you're thinking of.I cannot think of any open source audio project that has problems with exporting to "standard formats".
I live in HK, so we're already living through this.

I've basically been working remotely. I haven't used public transport since CNY. We do not go out at all, unless it is necessary.

The main concern is the mask shortage. We probably go through 4 masks a week, and we generally only go out twice a week right now strictly for the essentials. We will need to get more soon, or we will run out before April.

Maintaining a high standard of hygiene is something people tend to do already in HK, but it's more important than ever right now. We thoroughly clean our flat every Saturday morning and wash hands whenever handling something unhygienic or just in general. As the virus can spread through waste water systems, we flush out unpumped drains as well. When buying products, we only use e-payment to avoid loose change. Most places have gloves in addition to masks, and have hand sanitizer, so there's no excuse to not use these things.

HK does not have a large supply buffer due to the small spaces. If demand for a good spikes, places will run out quickly, and it generally takes 1-2 weeks for something to get back. So we also try to get as much as we need ahead of time, but space for storing lots of food here is limited.

Best estimates put Betelgeuse at having spent 20,000-140,000 years as a red supergiant, with around 40,000 years being the most likely. We don’t know exactly how many solar masses it is, but under the worst possible conditions (25 solar masses, rotating quickly) we predict that it will persist as a red supergiant for around 300,000 years. For 20 solar masses and rotating, this increases to 500,000 years. Modern models find it most likely to be 15-20 solar masses and non-rotating, in which case it would take even longer to collapse (up to 1,000,000 years from when it began the red supergiant phase).

Even at the oldest it is likely to be, under the best possible conditions for the shortest possible lifespan, it will still likely spend another 150,000 years as a red supergiant before it collapses.

So I don’t believe your statement to be true. We could be wrong about the mass of Betelgeuse. We could be wrong about its age, its chemical composition, its rate of rotation, etc. We could be wrong about our theories of how red supergiants evolve. Any or all of those could lead us to incorrectly conclude that Betelgeuse won’t go supernova in our lifetime. But by our current cosmological understanding, it’s not that “it could go tomorrow or a hundred thousand years from now”. It’s that we’re pretty sure it won’t go for over a hundred thousand years. But if we’re wrong, it’s technically possible that it could happen tomorrow.

At least when people travel legally you can document their routes and proactively minimize spread.

I saw a controversy recently in an open-source project where someone who packaged up the implementation with a friendly GUI was making thousands a month on Patreon, while none of that was going to the people who actually implemented the hard technical parts.

Credit for these technologies can seem similar - the government does all the basic research (through universities etc), funds the development of the tech through grants and the like, and Silicon Valley just does the customer-facing part and picks up all the credit.
/r/wallstreetbets is one of those strange communities that provides nearly limitless comedy. Best watched from a distance.
A common thread I've noticed in people who say it's all luck is they never recognize when they are being lucky, and good fortune passes them by, unnoticed. Successful people feel lucky because they notice good luck and take advantage.

For example - odds are very good you're healthy. That's lucky! You live in the US - a lucky place to start a business! The internet makes it easy - lucky! You have an education - more great luck! If not, there's a free youtube video on just about anything you need to learn - what great luck!
This virus seems to be right at the cusp of something we should really fear. ~3% mortality rate and at least semi easily transmissible. The fact is that this could be a lot worse and we are already seeing some ugly behavior from it. I imagine chaos if mortality climbs by an order of magnitude. We need to keep our heads here and figure out how to stop this thing.
Your premise is obvious: They must have been in contact with someone who traveled.

Your conclusion is not: The traveler must have been "illegal". In fact, you're almost certainly wrong. Furthermore, all travelers are not checked just for immigration status (you DO realize that tourism is a thing that is allowed, right?), but they were also checked (albeit poorly) for signs of infection in the travel phase. It's just not good enough. Many articles were pointing out how they weren't even using the temperature guns correctly, and infected people can be contagious for weeks before the signs even begin to show. Screening techniques, even if used perfectly, are inadequate.

You'll never eat your words for what you're wrong about: the connection between illegal immigration and Covid-19, because you will convince yourself that your views are correct despite the fact that virtually no cases of this will ever have anything to do with illegal immigration.
Thanks for the feedback around participating - makes total sense.

Our goal is to get people off the open-source version because they need something extra (mostly support right now but eventually more enterprise features). The balance of what is open-source vs what is enterprise is 99%-1% now and will probably shift to 80-20% over time and our goal is to make money from enterprises who care about that 20%.

Why can't there be a license which is "open-source" but stops anyone from building a "directly competiting commercial offering" out of the 80%. I guess there is complexity around how to define "directly competiting" but that should be solvable.

My understanding is that SSPL kind of does that. It is based out of GPLv3 so who are just using Rudder (or Mongo) over API are happy. And it specifically restricts commercially offering this as SaaS.

Do you honestly believe that the third world Mexican medical establishment is likely to detect cases early? Do you trust the Mexican government to mount an effective response?

Edit: people silently downvoting don't seem to understand the low likelihood of a a highly contagious, asymptomatic virus being detected before a major outbreak, and the sorry state of medical infrastructure in most of Mexico. Look at how quickly it spread after detection in Italy, Iran, and South Korea, nations with first world medical care. There's a good chance it's already spreading in the U.S. - some 7000 people in California being monitored, about 1000 in WA, 80 in Long Island, NY - there's no way we've caught all of the local outbreaks. Not to mention the tests have an absurdly high false positive rate.

if there’s roughly 1000 upvotes on a piece of content, and assuming only 1% of lurkers ever up vote; that means there are roughly 100,000 people taking investment info from this sub.

let’s say they have an average portfolio size of $10k, then 100,000 users * $10,000 = $1 billion dollars.

assuming they split the portfolio by meme %, so like 1/3 TSLA, 1/3 SPCE, 1/3 AMD; then we’re looking at like $330 million in trading volume going into SPCE.

when you look at the last couple days of trading volume on SPCE, about 30million shares traded daily, was previously around $10 a share , it about equals out, that like $300million dollars of meme money did a pump and dump on SPCE
