I thought chrome and Gmail (and android and maps) were built specifically to gather user data. That's why they launched Gmail for free literally months after Hotmail (outlook) started moving towards a charging model. The big plan for Google has been user data since at least 2000. They realised that's what would make them "more than a search engine". And they were right, and ahead of the curb by at least a decade.

Im not sure how or whether other services Stadia fit in to that. Maybe the fact they don't is why they get cancelled so easily? But I don't think it's accurate to say Chrome and Gmail were just standalone projects solving single issues, they were part of a wider strategy that has paid off.
I understand the grad students were in the wrong and they were not being realistic about their leverage...

From context, I think you mean the opposite of dearth.
This is badly misinterpreting the data. You cannot extrapolate the fatality rate of lab-confirmed infections to the general population.

This is especially true in scenarios where the infection is predominantly mild. This is also especially true in scenarios where diagnostic testing bandwidth was being stressed. Both are true in this case. I fully expect the general population fatality rate for COVID will be on the order of 0.1% or less of all infected. Keeping in mind the true denominator will never actually be known.

At risk of belaboring the point... you state that the fatality rate for people over 80 is 15%. This is false. Maybe it is accurate to say that the fatality rate is 15% for people over 80 who go to the hospital. That is a massively important qualifier to the statement. The fatality rate for all infected people over 80 is not known. The closest you can get is looking at Diamond Princess, where everyone was exposed and as of right now 6 of 3700 died, and that’s in a population skewing elderly.
My wife uses Bluetooth to avoid that issue. For some reason the receiver we got (new last year) only supports one device paired at a time though >_<
Not to mention, having to move because there are no jobs in Santa Cruz and no apartments you can afford without said job, and having to make this move happen to some unknown place that might have a job with your zero dollars saved up from your TA job. Homelessness for a spell is a real possibility.
I really wanted to use Atmel Studio, but couldn't get it working correctly on Arch Linux + wine. Can't imagine why such a major company wouldn't support Linux native.
Or the other way around: multiplexing one X11 application across multiple displays.

On the Usenix trade show floor one year, somebody made a horse racing client that opened connections on multiple X11 servers, and animated horses racing from screen to screen. Many different companies with X11 workstations or terminals were running it at the same time, and horses were running between different brands of computers on the trade show floor, which made a nice point! (About network race conditions ;) It was just black and white, and the graphics were dead simple, so it worked great on everybody's hardware.

Multi Player SimCityNet was implemented in TCL/Tk on X11, which supported opening multiple X11 servers at the same time, even with different kinds of displays, and using shared memory if running locally. Of course there was a limit to how many people could play at once, and it required a reasonably fast network, and every player had to grant full access to their server to the client. And anyone could type TCL expressions into the chat window and hit escape to execute them, so it probably wasn't very secure, and certainly was easy to cheat: "sim Funds 9999999<esc>"

>SimCityNet: a Cooperative Multi User City Simulation

>SimCityNet is an animated interactive system simulation game, providing a set of rules and tools for planning and building a complex dynamic simulated city. Several people on different workstations can participate in the same game, cooperating and coordinating their actions over the net.
Working together, you can zone land use, hook up the power grid, build roads, bridges, parks and stadiums, raise taxes, and even summon disasters, causing the city to grow and thrive, or crumble and die. SimCityNet features multiple city views and maps with overlays, simultaneous editing and user interface interaction, "voting panels" for group decision making, and multimedia communication and annotation features ("bridges between players").

>The multi user interface supports communication via three media in parallel: text, sound, and graphics. It includes a scrolling text log for telegram messages, a networked audio server for sound effects and voice intercom, and shared cursors and graphical overlays for pointing, gesturing, annotating and editing the map.
Might be from this:

"A total of 81% of cases in the JAMA study were classified as mild, meaning they did not result in pneumonia or resulted in only mild pneumonia. Fourteen percent of cases were severe (marked by difficulty breathing), and 5% were critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure)."

Nice work! That first graphic on your page instantly brought back memories of playing 'Battlezone' in the arcades as a kid - one of my favourite games! :)
That's only "how math works" under the assumption that the people who tested positive is an unbiased sample of the population who have coronavirus. That is, you're implicitly assuming you're equally likely to be tested if you have symptoms or if you have no symptoms. The parent is suggesting the possibility that if you have symptoms you're far more likely to be tested than if you have none.
If 80% of people will have no symptoms, and testing is being as conservative as it is (people going untested unless they show clear symptoms), then that is how math works. It suggests that that 20% encompasses at least those being tested, if not others too.
Facebook is moderately useful for keeping in touch with people you want to hear from and who just won't use email/Mastadon or whatever, and for interest-based groups and events. That is all. And as long as you strictly restrict yourself to using only the website through a browser and eschew their apps and carefully go over the privacy settings and tune them to your needs you should be okay. As for endlessly scrolling the newsfeed all day, well that is not so much Facebook's fault as that people who do that are probably having too much idle time and not knowing how to do some productive or more creative activity. If Facebook did not exist those people would trawl through Twitter or Youtube or something else.
You might be interested in this [1] training video showing that proper use of N95 masks is basically how people put them on.

Additionally - this [2] new search shows that if 80% of uninfected persons wore a mask for a few days, the pandemic would be over.

I'm a little jealous of iTerm, not going to lie. The UX is pretty nice from what I've seen, but I can't find a like for like replacement for either Windows or Linux.
My company needed a half dozen 32" monitors for a conference (to play videos, so 1080p was fine). We had some in storage, but it was cheaper to buy some new ones from Amazon (with free shipping) and dispose of them after the conference than to pay to ship the existing ones back and forth to the conference. They bought a spare one just in case one failed (they didn't)

One of the employees manning the booth went to high school nearby and had arranged for someone from their AV department show up after the conference to pick up the monitors as a donation.
Please understand that every single one of those percentages is wrong as you have stated them. You forgot the most important qualifier, which is that the denominator is some fraction (potentially small fraction) of the total number infected.

So when you say “upwards” of 5% of cases require the ICU, this is potentially very misleading. Stating that upwards of 5% of hospital cases require the ICU may be true, but now you must not try to extrapolate that value any further until you can tell me definitively what percentage of infections result in hospitalization? 1 in 5? 1 in 20?

I won’t get into debating R0 values because they are nearly impossible not to misuse. For example, COVID-19 does not have just one R0 value. R0 changes radically based on actual conditions on the ground, often day to day.

The R0 value of COVID in a cult church in South Korea may be actually 1,000 while the R0 globally over the entire course of this news cycle might be 1.2.

True! But one of the major means of transportation for that virus is by coughing, which people do rarely if they are asymptomatic. Sharing drinks or other means of liquid transmission still occur, but coughing is the big one as it takes infected throat and lung fluids, and flings them all over everything. Same reason doctors really push using tissues for sneazing if you have a cold.
Surely Windows has a comparable window-switching behavior which could be mapped to alt-` with AutoHotKey or similar? I'm not familiar with Windows post-95, but I'd do this in a heartbeat, since the change app and window shortcuts are deep in my muscle memory after all these years.
With this disease there is little evidence that asymptomatic people are capable of spreading the disease, and if they are symptomatic they shouldn't be going in public anyway, let alone donning a mask and doing so.

I have the exact same question.

I discovered the semantic web almost 10 years ago, and still can't get it out of my head. I keep going back to it. Before writing this post, I was just reading the JSON-LD specification. I spent all weeks reviewing ontologies and wondering why nobody is taking it seriously.

I'm convinced that the semantic web (now called "linked data") will be the next big thing. It will happen within the next 5 years. Expect to hear more people talk about it by the end of 2020.

Personal health care, quantified self, and IoT communities will adopt it first, followed by AI people. Then it will spread very quickly.
huh :) if you have async-messages without any blocking semantics you are just fine.
If anyone reading this is in this situation: hi! I've been working in Clojure(&script) for eight years, and I'm looking for full-time work. Email is in my profile.
I am not sure I buy into the argument that startup time is the hurdle to Clojure adoption. If that were the case, we would have at least seen more adoption for server use cases. Applying Occam's razor, I think Clojure is not popular for the same reason that common lisp is not popular - it is simply too hard. Functions and immutability are a more difficult abstraction to grasp compared to objects and procedures and mutable state. The overhead of finding quality talent is too high, and likely always will be because of this.
Clojure for a Lisp dialect has already gained quite some adoption. I like Lisp, and of course, I would love to see Lisp being used everywhere and used more. But honestly, if someone asked me ten years ago if Clojure would ever become more popular than languages like OCaml, Haskell or Scala, I would've said: "very few people would probably know that such language has ever existed." I'm not trying to bash on other PLs, the popularity of any language is difficult to measure, and it is a very subjective topic. Still, today Clojure has lots of conferences, and the number is growing every year, several active podcasts, tons of (relevant and up to date) books, jobs (that no matter how many, never will be enough), meetups, etc.

I'm seeing Clojure related posts on top of HN almost every week. And I'm watching people trying Clojure, coming with all sorts of different backgrounds. I have worked with people who came to Clojure from C++, Ruby, Python, C#, Haskell, Go, Scala, OCaml, JavaScript, CL; people with no programming experience at all.

Of course, that all is incomparable with the craze that something like Typescript receives. And I used to feel anxious, worried that this would be the last ever job where I happily used Clojure. But after my third job where Clojure was the primary language, I stopped sweating about that.

I think Clojure, at this point, has stabilized in the industry and slowly and steadily would continue to attract people. The only thing that can genuinely kill Clojure - is a better version of its fork.
Yep, they are cry babies.

Most of HN are these folks, though ;)
I'm not saying the CDC needs to go take my rough guess as fact and run with it. I'm saying that what the parent comment pointed out is completely tangential to it.
I feel a bit like the world needed this in the 90s. I remember when you needed to constantly upgrade kit to play the latest games. Processors, RAM and the GPU all had a lifespan of about 2 years before they were obsolete. That was part of what pushed consoles: you knew you'd get 5 plus years of Sony PS? games even if they looked a bit blocky by year 4.

But hardware has out run gaming needs now. My 6 year old PC plays the latest games and streams 1080p at the same time without issue. I could probably mine some crypto in the background.

If I was constantly upgrading, a "rental" service like this would make sense. But I'm not. I'm struggling to justify any changes to my setup. So why would I pay to rent someone else's?

And thats without the fact that Steam already offers games virtually on demand or that consoles have a big chunk of the market sewn up...
>Masks aren't to protect you from other people. They're to protect other people from you.

This is pure BS, unless you suggest every doctor is already infected.
GP is talking about the inline images protocol: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-images.html
If you order the masks from the hardware store, then the hardware store is going to order more from the supplier, who gets more from the manufacturer of the n95 filter that also sells them to the hospital mask supplier and fills whichever order comes in first. You are straining the supply chain but it happens a couple notches up, not at the consumer level.
> It was quite clear Stadia was born out of a business revenue idea

I'm guessing the cloud gaming stuff is planned as a way to generate revenue with spare GPU capacity in their server farms. They're already spending a ton on GPUs and network bandwidth, so why not sprinkle some kubernetes on top and run games on it when it's not running training datasets?
You probably need to download and put it in your path.

Basically microservices over ip/dns are actors (maybe not pure actors like Carl Hewitt would insist - but close enough), so I think it's safe to say that the dominant programming model today is actors.

Having spent a bit of time in actor-land at the language level, I think the primary advantages of actors are:

1) making concurrency relatively easy to reason about (vs. say strict async/await, promises.. shudder, async/yield, whatever twisted does etc.).

2) more importantly, and most actor frameworks don't get this right, fault tolerance and isolated failure domains. If your actor system doesn't limit the blast radius of a failure, then it's missing one of the biggest reasons to go with actors.
This is an important plot point in the book the excellent Sci Fi novel The Three Body Problem.

Not sure I’m understanding what this does? The page lacks information in the extreme. Can this keylog? Does other data just transparently pass through or can this log it? Does it show up as an HID device when not activated? What wireless bands does this operate on?

There are several CAF alternatives with very different usages of C++ features:

At least two of them (QP/C++ and SObjectizer) are evolved and used for a longer time than CAF.

I will unhappily eat my words if it turns out to be worse than a bad flu year.

Will the people discussing 5-7% general population fatality rates over the last week agree to eat theirs if it turns out to be less harmful than last year’s flu?

Of course there are serious downsides to hysteria and doomsday prophecies. The market lost $3.4 trillion in value last week, for starters. But also real world economic impact which causes actual harm to everyday people.

This has to be scientifically justified and not just political expedience.

Getting infected to own the libs
Masks don't protect you from others, they protect others from you, and if you are a health professional dealing with infected people from vulnerable populations, or a surgeon asking for a scalpel over an open body, you are going to assume that you are infected and capable of transmitting disease out of an abundance of caution. Masks for the general healthy public is borderline hysteria and affects the medical supply chain.

Weren't they the ones who had to vote in the union in the first place? Seems like they should have figured out what they want from the union before giving it the power to negotiate a contract on their behalf.
Yea I'm pretty sure it's out and about in the US now. Your patient numbers are always 0 if you don't test for it
This is missing the point of what collective bargaining is about. The whole idea is that you give up some autonomy over your situation so that you and all your compatriots can negotiate in unison for a deal that is better, in aggregate, than what you all could do individually. No, it's not always perfectly fair, but it does work.

Tearing that deal up like this is effectively throwing all the other members of the union under the bus, because now UC has reason not to trust the union can keep its bargains.

There are two problems with buying it without need.

There is a shortage, so people in risk groups (elderly people and people with respiratory problems) or people close to those at risk cannot get them.

Second, it increases the price, which caused incidents of people stealing them from hospitals to sell them.

So, in a way, it is more practical then you think.
