Viruses don't discriminate, but immigrants (and descendants of immigrants) do tend to visit their original home countries (and/or ancestor's home countries) more than the rest of the population. People of Chinese descent living in Italy are more likely to visit China than people of Italian descent in Italy (or Irish or whatever non-Chinese descent). Areas with high concentrations of Chinese people are thus more likely to have been exposed to a traveler than some other areas. There's nothing racist about this.

Of course hot spots for transmission like airports will spread it beyond the Chinese communities.
Okay, assuming your information is correct (women are a hot commodity on dating apps and get lots of attention, and conversely men have a hard time getting any attention), if you put out a hetero-only dating app with a 1:1 men:women ratio, why would women choose to use it, when on Tinder they would have men clamoring over them?
Out of curiosity, what would you be looking for for "a better Erlang"? Most if not all of my issues were syntactical, or things that were given up as tradeoffs that I can't qualify as "better", so I'm curious what someone else's impressions are here.
You probably won't die, esp since you're young, but it's certainly possible that you could get caught up in a quarantine. Best to have a good supply of any required drugs, etc.
If you can set up nagios (which one would probably consider an interesting evening challenge if you were already willing to go for your own monitoring droplet) setting up pushover or amazon sns (for sms) should be easy enough.

While I agree with the point about suppressing dissent being a vulnerability because it suppresses information, I don't think this is something democracies are so great at. The UK's response to mad cow disease, for example, does not look much better, if as good.

The flupandemic in 1918 was not handled appreciably better in the democracies than it was in the empires.

It's impossible to build a good dating experience on an app at scale. Let me explain why.

Dating markets are lemon markets. The classical example of a lemon market was the used car market - most people who bought "lemons" (unreliable cars) would exploit information asymmetry and sell them on the used market, and over time the reputation of the used car market deteriorated to the point where it was affecting the value of new cars. The car manufacturers solved the problem by introducing gatekeepers - certified used car programs, that certified that the cars weren't lemons.

So who are the "lemons" on dating markets, which bring down the reputation of dating markets for the rest of the players? People who aren't in an emotionally healthy place to make commitments; people who are "players"; people who are violent; etc. It is our experience dealing with the lemons who stay on the dating market that ruins the reputation of the entire dating market and makes dealing with the market difficult.

So the solution is to introduce a gatekeeper. What does a gatekeeper look like? A clinically trained psychologist-cum-matchmaker (pun not intended) who can certify that the matches you are set up with are people with a track record of dealing honestly (for your personal definition of honest) in the dating market. Don't like your gatekeeper? Pick a different one.

So far as I can tell, healthy dating markets are limited to scale by the need to hire such competent human gatekeepers. If anyone has an idea how to automate the gatekeeping in a humane way - you're sitting on a gold mine.
I think the main argument was that the virus had spread very far because people were afraid to speak up and were being silenced rather than the (late) (efficient) response.

The AI takes instructions (orders? requests?) from the user. So if the cop asks the user to go back, the user should tell the car to go back, try a different route, etc.

What happens if the user is drunk? Well, naturally, the cop tells the car that it's a cop and just pick a different route.

And we shall see how well it will work.

Probably it'll take a (few?) decade(s) before a self-driving car should think it can safely wade through a crowd instead of going back and finding a good place to wait for user input :)
There could well be an untapped market of women who aren't interested in the atmosphere that comes with the unbalanced gender ratio, even if it means being at a personal disadvantage in the process.
Yeah but today we have Internet. Researching things has never been easier.
I don't think this is a helpful/accurate view. At a high level the type of optimization activity Knuth was talking about is alive and well, although the details of what people spend that time on has sometimes shifted.

I agree this quote is often abused but the fundamental idea behind it is intact and important: Sure, if you don't at least thing architecturally about performance early on as your problem domain reveals itself, you can make some poor decisions with long reaching performance implications. But on the other hand, if you spend a bunch of time tuning code when you don't know what the use will look like that time can be a dead loss.

This latter point was what Knuth was referring to - and in 2020 teams are still prematurely optimizing; i suspect about as much as they were back then.

HackerOne has threatened to ban researchers who disclose responsibly.
No, I don't, but I do think it increases its chances of happening - and there is historical precedent for it. For that reason, I sit somewhere between Popper's paradox of tolerance on these matters (and I go further than him), Sartre's notes on anti-semitism, and Marcuse's criticism of simple plurality as a substitute for educated and rational thought.

To be clear, I don't advocate for censorship of ideas that I simply "don't like". That's not a sufficiently rigorous standard. Ideas which advocate for targeting marginalized groups, or entire groups of people for ideas they have no control over, are fair game, in my opinion. I don't pretend to have no bias in my answer to that question. I am biased, and others have their own biases. I draw the line where I want to draw it, with no concern for pretending to derive it from first principles.

I don't think you mean tautology.
Whoof. Well, certainly having the whole world reduced to Windows and Linux doesn’t seem ideal. Linux is great and I wouldn’t want not to have it around, but crowding out any possibility of a different approach seems long-term counterproductive, especially given the very long, very incremental nature of Linux kernel development. Even when there’s general agreement that something is a good idea, it seems to take 5-10 years to get done. (Look at what’s happened with containers, which AFAIK still aren’t even a real thing, just a concept superimposed on a bunch of independent features.)

In the Newton era it seemed like there were tons of great ideas flying around about processors, operating systems, filesystems, languages, etc., and more importantly there was room to feasibly take advantage of them in a product. Nowadays there’s no other realistic economic choice than to do your thing on top of the best open source stuff you can find, even if it’s not quite appropriate.

So I guess my primary negative feeling is that there are big important layers that have essentially become a monoculture, or sometimes a di-culture, and people don’t even try to innovate there any more. (Edit: talking about products here, not research, which thank goodness there’s still some of.)

That said, there are obviously tons of positive things that have happened. Notably, when Newton came out there was no internet that people today would recognize (or be able to connect to). There was no cloud computing giving you unlimited CPU billed by the second. No cell phone data network. We didn’t even have color LCDs. I mean, I could go on forever about the crazy stuff that’s been invented since then. So the thing that bugs me is really the lower layers that seem to have ossified a bit too soon (IMHO).
Also cool its open source, like the idea fo being able to add.edit features.
I say this as an engineering director and someone who takes a lot of pride in my ability to do all the good things you describe: what's wrong with it is that bad management is hard to dislodge.

Bad managers will never admit they're bad; they have bad employees. It's really hard for upper management to tell the difference. The early signs of bad management look a lot like bad employee performance. It takes time for a pattern of behavior to emerge, and in the meantime projects and employees are getting ruined.

That said, traditional management, like democracy, is the worst form of management, except for all the others.

One of the reasons I've stuck with GoDaddy is 24/7, American phone support. Their .com pricing is closer to $20 for renewal at this point, but I've called them at 2 AM before and gotten help.

From previous research, at least, most domain registrars have ticket support at best. I did move all my "less important" domains to Cloudflare for cost savings recently, but they have my most important domains.
Can you give some examples of how you intermix the two? I'm curious in trying this out.
On India: I worked on a project outsourced to one of the big companies. A senior engineer there said that when people offshore, the person making the decision is a bean counter. So they only look at price. They take the cheapest and they get what they pay for.

But if they would pay twice that (still at most half their normal cost) using a smaller higher quality company they could get a much better job done.

Tinder’s big innovation was the double opt in for messaging. Both parties have to “like” the other profile before they can exchange messages. This helps a lot with the problem of women getting overwhelmed with low quality messages.

I was surprised to learn that Tinder has patented this technique. No other dating app can use it, unless that app is owned by Tinder’s parent company, the Match Group.

I think not having access to this technique will make it very hard for new apps to compete with Tinder and friends.
If the author is right, how long will it take to get there? I've been working in the field for 25 years. Frankly what I do today isn't that much different than what I did 25 years ago and we are busy trying to hire more people who do the same types of things. I'll probably retire in the next 15-20 years. Will this wholesale change proposed by the author take place within that time frame? Based on past experience I doubt it.
Thank you. Looks like I'll just have to pay more. Any recommendations for a registrar?
Their point is probably that Airbnb did not execute anything particularly well and its usefulness is because of scale, not in spite of it. The contrasting example would be Google, where even before it was popular was superior because of better execution (better search algorithms).

Consider a hypothetical p2p car renting company (not Uber). With a few thousand users it probably wouldn’t be that useful as a service, but if 80% of the worlds population had their cars available on it the service would be incredibly useful, despite the core idea existing now already.

I'll speak for myself and say that all my domains have been with Hover for well over a decade now, and the times I've had to deal with their customer service, they've been excellent.

In fact, I even had to call them once, and I got a human almost immediately, and that human was able to resolve my issue while I was on the phone.. I don't recall the exact issue and I'm sure it wasn't anything major, but it was still nice.

So yeah, Hover. They're nice. And I think their prices are decent?

While this is true, what worries me about Coronavirus is its weeks-long incubation period, where you can spread the virus even without any symptoms attached.

The obvious "dude is coughing / sneezing" case simply doesn't apply to Coronavirus. It can spread long before you show any symptoms.

-----------

There are even cases where people are passing the virus on without ever actually getting, or feeling, sick. https://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-confirmed-patients-...

Coronavirus is deadly enough to kill some people, but weak enough that some people's immune system represses it entirely.

In some ways, something like Ebola is easier to control. Because everyone who gets sick with Ebola actually shows symptoms (because Ebola is so deadly).

What proof do you have that #6 is not persistent XSS? If it is, that's a potentially brutal vuln (as persistent XSS often is), even if you need the users password to exploit it.

And persistent XSS is definitely not out of scope according to PayPal's guidelines. https://hackerone.com/paypal

Why are you saying #6 --- are duplicates of other people's issues. ? It must have been marked as dupe of N/A. They would haved gained rep if it was a dupe of someone elses report. They lost rep, so it was most likely marked as dupe of an N/A.

As I mention below, the big problem is the OP didn't include POCs. It's easy to claim "oh this is can be exploited so easily" but without a POC, it's not always clear and perhaps he missed some detail that made his assumptions incorrect.

Anyways, I do have to say hackerone looks pretty cool. This is the first I've seen it and they seem like they are working very hard (we all should be working hard) to make this work for everyone. They are likely just victim's of their success.
if (as the article points out) the regime would have listened to its own physicians, who already identified isolated cases as far back as december, the Mao era crackdown would not have been necessary because the disease could have likely been contained from the beginning.

It's precisely the authoritarian blindness and dysfunction that the article talks about that necessitates its own brutality. So no, the draconian measures that the system is able to enact are not a sign of success, they're the opposite.

It's an absolutely perverse idea. It's as if someone would point at Xinjiang concentration camps and take it as a sign for how great Chinese construction companies work.

I went to enable the opt-in 2FA in response to this report. It's pretty rough, IMO. It gives you no way to use scratch codes as a backup. You're stuck with either adding a second TOTP device or allowing SMS as a backup.

Adding a second TOTP device is OK security-wise but adding a second device to my safe and making sure it's still working periodically kind of sucks.

SMS is not OK.

Printed scratch codes would beat the snot out of either.

A very reductionist version of our company that Allison hates when I use is "csvstat but on the internet" :-). I think the problem of auto-summarizing datasets has hit kind of a local maximum in what pandas dataframe summaries (csvstat is a similar python tool) can do on one machine. We will be able to add much fancier things like sophisticated type classification (e.g., is this field a stock ticker) without burning your CPU.

It's very easy to manage incoming bandwidth when you're hosting a tor onion service. The entire Tor ecosystem kind of helps to since there's a limit on the instantaneous amount of data in any circuit. Overall tor is great because I own my domain name (rather than leasing it on the whim of some corp) and it has nice DoS and bandwidth tools built in.

And if you were using cloudflare before you should be okay with some people not being able to access your site since that's the norm there.

You cannot really predict that. Number theory was once considered "pure mathematics" in a sense that one could not even imagine practical applications for checking if a number is a prime or not. And then someone invented cryptography...

> we could definitely halt warming in a very short time

The limit estimated (from models) here [0] is a decrease of -2 W/m^2 at most.

The IPCC scenarios are equivalent with a number of plausible energy imbalances by the end of the century, ranging for 2.6 W/m^2 (RCP 2.6) in the best and 8.5 W/m^2 (RCP 8.5) in the worst case. [1]

So even in the best case it might very possibly not be enough to halt everything. Maybe it can buy us some time, but I think the only viable path forward is to stop as soon as possible and then carbon-capture it back.

(See also this graphic [2] for possible pathways to stay below 1.5°C warming, all of which include carbon capture, up to half of current emissions starting in 10 years (in the best case by land-use changes, in all others by actively removing the carbon).)

Fair enough. It's just an example though - there are a lot of other low-wage industries with lots of public contact, and people may try and hide their illness if they need the work.

And of course people may be contagious before exhibiting a lot of symptoms, but that's certainly not US specific.
