There are three things in my view which you can theoretically use for recruiting at a small company. Sorry, I don't have personal experience using them, I am just making observations:

- I recently heard of a company offering a publicly announced 4 day workweek and being able to recruit very good talent. I am not sure if Big Tech can make it a public policy.

- You can point out that there is a much smaller need to be politically correct. For example, it is extremely un-PC to be openly supporting Trump in big tech today, and anyone who says otherwise is just lying to you. I know someone very closely who works in one of the big tech companies and I can tell you that he is wrapped in a very strange bubble. For example, he was 100% convinced that Trump will be impeached and booted out of office before his term completed. Now he has stopped talking about the impeachment altogether. It is actually hilarious.

- the "cult" problem. Sooner or later, everyone who defends their big tech job will be referred to as acting like a cult member [1]. I am not sure how a small company can run into the cult problem.

You are making a flawed assumption that we have good enough data from which to conclude such definitive statements.

It is obvious that we still have a lot to learn about how bad it is actually going to be, and it is obvious that a lot of the figures we've received so far are untrustworthy.
Feasible, but realistic for most people?

A can of beans has around 350 calories, a pound of uncooked rice has 1700 calories

Assuming you want to avoid losing weight, you'll want around 2000 calories/day.

So you'll need 180 cans of beans and 180 lbs of rice. A 5 gallon bucket of rice weighs around 40 lbs so that's 5 5 gallon buckets.

And you'll want more than rice and beans, so you'd want to store more than that.

I don't think many people realistically have the space, money, or inclination to store that much food, especially families.
Yeah that makes sense, although that would be a selection bias towards most likely cases, not necessarily most severe. Although China's data is most likely to be biased towards most severe...
Seems like it would much more common where the numbering system alternates monotonically for the length of the street. In eg. USA where the numbers go up by 100 per block, there are gaps to make use of.
“ If you look at the night sky and see a bright object near the (original) moon, that’s not the mini moon. It’s Venus — the third-brightest celestial object to light the sky, after the sun and moon — which is visible this week in the west after sunset.”

I’ve been wondering what that is. I assumed a planet, though I wasn’t sure which.

South Korea has announced hundreds of new coronavirus cases in the space of only a few days and raised its infectious disease alert to the highest level. The surge in cases has centered around two main clusters from a church in Daegu city and a nearby hospital. The new outbreak has pushed South Korea’s tally of confirmed cases much higher than anywhere else outside of China.

These two clusters are linked to a single infected person, case #31. The article provide a number of insightful graphics explaining the timeline and spread.
why is this milkdrop fork called nestdrop? is there any association with google?
This was enlightening and has let me revise my original position. Thanks
Interesting project!

Why does it say "About 7,690,000,000 results" but there's only 10 results available?
Exactly.

It makes me really wonder about these people who savagely down-vote stuff like this on HN. Are they so out of touch with reality? Or is it just a fun sport of sort. There's a strain of people on HN that love down-voting anything that is common sense. As if that single click will take reality and make it align with the way they would like the universe to exist. It's laughable at best, and very very sad. I don't really care about points but it is interesting to see how certain things are not debated and just stomped on and anything that aligns with the cargo cult is supported.

Here's news from Italy that very much applies to what I've been saying:

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/australians-in-italy-s-coronavir...

As you said, there's nothing wrong to prepare for an emergency. And, by definition, you have to do it before the need arises. I have no interest in having to fight though desperate mobs to get food for my kids. I pretty much got everything we need to shelter in place for about 60 days now, including medicine, masks, etc. I also got extra supplies to be able to help neighbors who might not be as prepared as we are. I guess I am an evil person for suggesting this and acting this way. So sorry.

Well, you could ask by analogy why people got so upset about atomic bombs when regular bombs are just as painful to be blown up by. Or maybe modern precision targeted weapons are a better analogy.
Yeah definitely! Any projection or monitor can be used.

Here is an example flat video I recorded using the Lightjams Spout Recorder - https://vimeo.com/391524665
and if so, what about it?
Yeah it's still not really a fair comparison (though one could easily imagine Amazon shuttering Fresh, or certain Kindle or Echo features).

I could compare it to a company like Cloudflare, who do offer lots of different public, free services (even if their market is different) and don't seem to have shut anything down.

Maybe not the best analogy either, but the problem is no other company has the kind of breadth of free public consumer-facing services that Google has, so no analogy would work. On one hand that could be a defense, by saying what Google's doing is unique and risky so sudden cancellations are to be expected. But on the other hand who knows how another company might handle a similar situation; we have no way of knowing.
Something must be invented somewhere. All I say is government research is not necessarily "better". It just is.
I once read that the right way to use CouchDB is for every user to have its own database. However, how does this work with BI? Or with public data that should be known by all users? Do I create a single centralized DB just for that kind of data? Maybe aggregate data from all users' DBs? Genuinely curious.

When I first learned about Kolmogorov complexity I understood it as the amount of symbols you have to use, from some specific vocabulary, to represent something.

It walks side-by-side with compression (and pigeon problems). Using Kolmogorov to improve ML in those physical examples means that the solution will be better to the specific case, not that there'll come a one-in-all solution to any kind of clothes animation.

Is not having long lasting business entities really a negative cultural trait? While it's neat that there are businesses that have survived for over a millennia, it's more of a curiosity than evidence of superiority of a culture.
Given buy/sell spreads, you can lose arbitrary amounts of money simply by buying and selling the same stock hundreds of times.
"If you think you can find many industries whose abuses don't match or exceed those of tech"

I think this is predicated on the idea that "tech" is one industry among many. But it's not, it's something that is eating the world, that every industry uses. And it's sucking up such an insane amount of capital and resources because of the unreasonable effectiveness of modern manipulation of people. Some writer getting upset is not proof of anything, but the market cap of Google and Facebook is very strong evidence.
Yeah but I mean if you need to hedge fucking 5 delta deeeeep otm options, you don't need that much stock buying to get your book theoretically delta neutral. I know short gamma markets are a real occurrence on the dealer end, but that happens from institutional money. No one retail is going to be able to move this stuff (unless it's Warren buffett going in big on derivatives for some funny reason).

Not everything is about national politics. I live in a Republican controlled state, and even though I’m not a Republican, I want us to be represented and properly funded. So I will fill out my census form. Just because I don’t have the same political views as my neighbors doesn’t mean I want to disenfranchise them (and myself while I’m at it).
It's called the "American Community Survey" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Community_Survey). It's a great piece of high-quality, modern, scientifically valid demographic work that the C.B. does between its enforced stints with 18th c. `demographicology' that the constitution requires.
It's similar to how Carlton claim to have been around since 1832 (when in fact they were founded in 1903[1]). The fact is that their subsidiary Cascade has been around since 1832 but were bought out by Carlton much later[2], therefore making the claim that Carlton is the "oldest brewery in Australia".

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_%26_United_Breweries

[2]I can't find a reference to which year they were bought out, but the Wikipedia article above does mention they got bought and they mentioned the year when I took a tour of the Hobart brewery.

The US census was infamously used to assist in rounding up Americans of specific ethnic backgrounds for concentration camps.

It would go a long way to easing people’s minds if they had some way to guarantee that this could not happen again. I realize there is value in gathering attributes beyond just “one person”, but storing these attributes in a way that can be connected to addresses seems seriously problematic.

> The final alphabet I came up with is ZAC2B3EF4NH5TKL7P8RS9WXY. As I required 24 characters, I kept G and 6 which are the least ambiguous in the list.

It appears to be a typo in the article. Here's the real alphabet (N replaced by G and L replaced by 6):

While there may be asymptomatic spread (it's too early to be certain of that yet either), "asymptomatic transmission likely plays a minor role in the epidemic overall, WHO says. People who cough or sneeze are more likely to spread the virus, the agency wrote"[1]

[1] - https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/paper-non-symptomati...
Fine.i should have said Lowe information users.
How do you expect asymptomatic infected individuals to spread the virus? The viral load is highest in the nose, suggesting that they can infect others by simply breathing in their vicinity. This is different from droplet transmission when people are coughing/sneezing.
The census predates mass surveillance. The bureaucracy changes slowly.

I doubt the agencies with the surveillance data want to share it.

The data isn’t a count of people. It’s one record per conversation, or whatever. It’s probably riddled with errors and duplicates, incorrect names, dates of birth etc. It probably misses a lot of people (like children). Getting a unique count of individuals, with accurate addresses and demographic information would be a Sisyphean task.
You contradicted your sentences. I do know Robinhood gives zero commission trades by selling order flow data to hft and market making hedge funds but I don't think those funds execute the orders themselves. The orders still go to brokerages I think (may be wrong about this) or just hit Prime Services from non hft hedge fund books.

Either way, those hft firms definitely like retail order flow data. My guess is they're easier to "pick nickels in front of steamroller" kinda trades than institutional money which may cause extended one way moves that hits high frequency balanced traders adversely.

I'm also entirely talking out of my ass in the last paragraph. I don't actually know that any of what I said is true. Just speculation.

Nice UI - I noticed that there are a lot of web apps, but not as many 'offline' projects. D'you see this as a mostly web-based platform, or could you also see entries for programs like Photoshop and commercial IDEs?

I'm so disappointed. I really wanted it to explode during my lifetime.
>The coronavirus is going to be orders of magnitude worse, and the current informal arrangements in the US will be overwhelmed.

Are you suggesting that more deadly diseases are more likely to spread among the population per capita? I had thought we were discussing whether the lack of mandated sick days enabled higher spread of infectious diseases.

Silicon Valley loves to shine its turds. And they love to believe their own stink about how much they're disrupting and changing the world.

Definitely, there are a few different options:

You can save different user profiles. The information saved into the XML file includes: settings selections, window position, Preset favorites, Preset hotkeys, Sprite effects, open & closed queue windows (name, size, position, Preset lineup, linked Sprites, deck number).

You can also organize the Presets into your own categories and subcategories using the following folder architecture.
--- Category: Folders placed directly into the Presets folder are treated as the main categories . A section label is automatically created to help easily identify categories within the library window. They are also listed within the ‘Active Preset Locator’ context menu.
--- Subcategory: Any nested folders within the main category folders are treated as subcategories. Bookends are used to separate all subcategories within the library window.

NestDrop will index all Presets found within the <Plugins\Milkdrop2\Presets> folder. It will also index any nested folders. You can install your own Presets to this location.

Effective Data Scraping Strategies and Resources for Digital Marketers
Those work in Raku, with the exception of ‟at least two styles”.

.say for q[‟”].uninames
# DOUBLE HIGH-REVERSED-9 QUOTATION MARK
# RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

If you use one type of quote, you can use the others inside of it with no problem.

“double "quotes"”

(Raku doesn't use a tokenizer.)

Also note that you can use a variety of characters for quoting if you use `q`, `qq` or `Q` etc.

q<<<<1 < 2>>>> eq '1 < 2' eq q^1 < 2^ eq q%1 < 2% eq q｢1 < 2｣

Note that many Unicode characters which have a LEFT and RIGHT variant will also be paired when you do that. q⦑like this⦒

In Raku string literals are actually a [parameterized domain specific language](https://docs.raku.org/language/quoting). (The domain of creating strings.)

my $buffer = Blob.new(115,116,114,105,110,103); # 'string'.encode()

Q # start with raw quoting
:scalar # enable embedding the value of scalars
:backslash # enable backslashing characters
[This is a $buffer.decode()\n]

There are shortcuts for common uses

'single' eq q [single] eq Q :single [single] eq Q :q [single]
‘single’ eq ‚single’

"double" eq qq [double] eq Q :double [double] eq Q :qq [double]
“double” eq „double”

｢raw｣ eq Q [raw]

< words > eqv qw [ words ] eqv q :words [ words ]

<< quote words >> eqv qqww [ quote words ] eqv Q :double :quotewords [ quote words ]
« quote words »

This is not exhaustive.

:double is actually short for :scalar :array :hash :function :closure :backslash

:words splits on whitespace
:quotewords splits on whitespace but respects quoted sections

q :words [ a "b c" ] eqv ( 'a', '"b', 'c"' )
q :quotewords [ a "b c" ] eqv ( 'a', 'b c' )

Note that :double is the same as any adverb in the language, so you can negate a feature with :!double.

qq [with newline\n]
qq :!backslash [without newline\n]

qq :!array [user@example.com()]

(It's actually rather difficult to accidently use @ or % variables.)

5k contracts is a massive trade my dude. At a multiplier of 100, that's a notional volume of 500k shares. That ought to move anything. Even AAPL as market makers balance their books. But I mean, generally these are one leg of a 4 leg option trade strategy. So it won't actually be a big net notional exposure in most cases (apart from having trades on the underlying to hedge themselves out).
Building a command line tool to design a farm layout in Stardew Valley
Cool product idea: Masks sold with depiliartory cream.
I know, in a lot of countries law enforcement is likely to abuse the tools but we shouldn't blame the tools for it.

Public servants should be of the highest social standard available. They should be selected to be polite, patient and never lose their cool. Step out of line once and you are out like a bad dancer.

They should be immediately fired and persecuted if they spy on their ex. Every lookup must be tied to a crime. Like you said, if the data exists it will be used. If they can construct an argument to have an interest in someone at that time and day it should work just fine. When in doubt fill out a formal request.

We have control over who gets hired or not. If we hire sub optimal people, train them poorly and excuse their behavior any tool will get abused. Then the whole thing doesn't work.
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones."
