>every reason to believe we will have a similar experience to China's.

With a bit of luck you may have an experience more like Singapore, the UK or Vietnam (30 active cases, 72 recovered, 15 active, 8 recovered, and 0 active, 16 recovered respectively)

China got off to a bad start due to the thing starting there and being unexpected.
My biggest "problem" with premium economy is simply that it's always full. My flights are always a week out or less, and every single time it's completely full, leaving me with some near lav middle seat. It's like I want to give them money, but can't.

Transmission doesn’t occur only via droplets. The virus is supposed to survive for up to 9 days on surfaces/objects in normal conditions, and for up to 28-29 days at low temperatures:

“Droplets transmitting coronaviruses only stay suspended in the air for a short time. Details for SARS-CoV-2 are not available as of 26 February 2020, and it is assumed that they are similar to other coronaviruses,[64] which may stay viable and contagious on a metal, glass or plastic surface for up to nine days at room temperature.[65] Disinfection of surfaces is possible with substances such as 62–71% ethanol applied for one minute.[65]“

Not really sure you will find the balance you may seek. I suspect strongly Jack Dorsey has little to do with moderation on the platform, if that’s the bone to pick here, which I don’t think is at all. If anything twitter has largely been silent on moderating anything at all beyond a few notable exceptions
Can anyone chime in on why California's law is necessary to force the deletion of your data? Wouldn't these photos be subject to copyright law?
Sure, they'll last shorter, but at least they will work.

Besides, couldn't they keep it at a stable -20 °C?

Issues with condensation?

Well, that makes sense. So why can't they be packaged in metal or ceramics?

Extended Interview with Myst Co-Creator Rand Miller – War Stories
There are lots of government emergency stockpiles around the country. Some secret. Some not.

If you go to Grand Canyon Caverns, just east of the Hualapai reservation, and take the tour, you can see the old stockpile from the 1940's. According to the tour guide, in the last five or ten years, the government has started adding to it again.

Twitter is the only company that will not allow the fake ads paid by trump supporters. This is what we need to do.
Don't we have enough right-wing social media and media moguls already?
Exactly! C is internally consistent in that, for example, the star in:

int *a;

is part of the variable declaration, not the type. And the function pointer syntax derives from that. (I know you know, just providing context).

However, just because it's consistent doesn't mean it's easy to remember or use. Just repeating "it's easy!" doesn't make it true. Others have brought up that cdecl exists, which illustrates this pretty well.

It seems you've worked with this syntax for long enough, and it fits your way of thinking well enough, that it's not an issue at all for you! But there's ample evidence of a lot of people struggling with it, which should be sufficient to deem it "not easy".
Google has all the data and algorithmic chops required for this, too.

Just use their reverse image search feature, as helpfully explained here:

They have tons of images from social media sites, too.
Balance is a false paradigm, not all ideas are valid, ie. just because some people believe the earth are flat doesn't mean that in school we have to teach the earth is both flat and round. (a more 50/50 idea would be evolution or carbon dating)

I would also say Jack Dorsey has been pretty fair about the platform. I don't think the left feel like Twitter is exceptionally more open to them.
Sure there exist solutions, but my point was, airlines don't do that today. I'd love to be able to auction on a front row aisle seat!

To your second question, booked of course. My entire point was they'll sell any seat to any person, first come first serve. The bottom would always sell out first, regardless of those who are physically able or not to even sit on top.
There seems to be a strong desire around the world to implement the Turkish media business model: Operate the media as a loss leader and make your profits from your other businesses by being favourable to the politicians in power and get just as favourable treatment.

This also scales nicely because you can start getting way overpriced ad buys when other companies also want to get favourable deals with the politicians, so you become a direct broker for access to the government.

Of course, the quality suffers and other media begins to emerge but you can keep buying the challengers or the govt can take care of them.

In Turkey, the pro-govt media is called "pool media" because a bunch of businessmen close to the ruling party created a pool to buy out newspapers and TV channels and an audio recording of them discussing the details was leaked(which is also very complicated, way out of the scope of this comment).
It's just a specific implementation of https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cunningham%27s_Law
Why are people talking about this in context of employment interviews? The article doesn’t go there, and neither should anyone else.

Trick questions do not “show you how the candidate thinks” or whatever. Judging candidates on them is not acceptable.
Excellent comment. The rush on supplies and goods means that people in need may not have access to care. THAT worries me quite a bit more than the disease itself.
But that's just not true. There is a single principled way for C declarations, and it's as easy as "a binding is a type name followed by an expression and a semicolon".

And while small inconcistencies have been introduced over time, it was entirely consistent when C was conceived. The problem is just that the simple rule how to read declarations is not well-known (I don't understand why). See my other comments.
That’s true. The analysis isn’t wrong, but it isn’t an algorithmic analysis. It’s just a quick statistical analysis that detects inherently bad properties for crypto. That was more my point. This kind of analysis isn’t bad but it’s just a sniff test.
Agreed, but even a simple flowchart/decision diagram is not given (if you require this, choose that). At its most basic, we have cryptographically secure & unpredictable, vs. fast: those two should be offered in the standard library of any language, IMHO - not the Meraner Twister.

Oh wow, getting Argentina to make good on their defaulted bonds is about as Mission-Impossible as activist investing gets. Not much productive to say about the political aspect of this move on Twitter, but I can say I would not want to be fighting Mr. Signer.

I'd be curious to know Scott Galloway's response to this.

Is this action that of a mainstream media channel being bought and control shifted way from Jack and current board's leadership, where they seem to be trying to at least do good - even if they are faltering some?

I'd speculate that they will push for political ads to be allowed, and false information to be perpetuated. To me this situation is highlighting that we can't depend on platforms that depend on advertising revenue as its operations budget.

By this logic, why would airlines even have economy class? Why not just fill whole plane with first clas seats?

The answer of course is that there isn’t enough demand for first class seats, so airlines just fill the remaining space with cheaper, lower margin product. Exactly the same will apply here: if they try to upgrade the whole cabin to this scheme, and try to charge premium prices, other airlines with lower prices cannibalize their customer base. Solve for equilibrium.
Well, maybe it'd be wiser to start with keeping media platforms as platforms for the media rather than outlets for opinions, political or otherwise.

I remember the days when Twitter was weird and diverse and interesting. There was a group of people making *-ebooks bots for strange content, there were people walking in traphouses in major cities and basically doing photo essays. There was so much interesting, unique content on Twitter back then.

Granted, Twitter is certainly imbalanced from the political perspective and it'll be good to see a better balance, but I think that the platform will almost inevitably sway further from the coolest things that they were doing before.

I LOVE politics, but damn if it ain't ruining all kinds of cool tech.
I'm not here to get people "on my side". Or even to make a particular argument (which would require actually having a "side")

I am here to understand the thinking of people who thought management should have "done better".

It could well be that this is correct, but it was a very confusing morning, if you will recall, and nobody knew what the hell was going on.

One stupid example is that my friends at Bear Stearns in WTC-7, left the building (evacuated) when the stock markets in NY shut down, and all lived. But the other friends on the bond-desk (traded out of Chicago, which didn't shut down), stayed and all died. (Hard to get a bond trader off his desk!).

It was a horrible day. And also unprecedented. I think it is a little unfrair for people to expect managers to know how to react (immediately and pro-actively!) to an unprecedented event. If I had an argument, it would be that: If I were a manager on that day, I would have been confused. And so would you.
On the face of it, seems stupid you didn't get tested. But I don't know the other side of the story. If there really is a limited supply of these tests, it makes sense for CDC to assign them accordingly. Frankly, if you don't end up with COVID-19, this is a bit of a non-story.

Regardless, it sounds like a bigger budget should be set aside for for testing. If I was in charge and had the resources, EVERYONE coming back from an infected country would be tested; symptoms or not.

If it turns out you do have it, my thoughts and best wishes go out to you. (I'm sure the media coverage will explode; shame these things don't get the attention until after the fact).
I’m not sure that either evolution or carbon-dating approach 50/50…

It's all fun and games until someone spills their hot coffee from the upper level.
I haven't made up my mind because most media outlets have conflicting information. That was why I posted the comment.

I mean, it doesn't help when you hear stories like the one posted on Reddit too. Of course it makes you think things like "why wouldn't they test him? Is it because they want to keep the registered cases down or is it because there's not enough tests to go around or maybe it's because the tests aren't accurate?".

These are questions I have as someone who isn't working at the CDC and I'm sure other regular citizens are thinking the same. I thought the media's responsibility was to take information from experts and present that information without bias to people who are not experts in the matter.
Any ETL tool can do tasks like this. It probably has a terrible user interface, but they're enterprise tools and enterprise tools tend to be terrible, regardless of the style or task.

You're right that most GUIs don't tend to be composable -- but that's a function of how they're written, not an inherent limitation of GUIs. There's nothing fundamental about the VT100-style interface that makes it optimal for composition. And GUIs potentially offer some huge benefits, like not having to guess at what's flowing through the pipelines, or having a less painful way to deal with quoting/escaping, or offering an alternative to cryptic flags for configuring operations.

Screen editors used to get the same scorn. You probably haven't heard the term "screen editor" in a few decades because every editor today is a screen editor. Once they acquired most of the flexibility of line editors, it turned out that nobody actually preferred line editors.

People want composability, and you can do that in a screen editor better than a line editor -- and a GUI better than a terminal. You just have to have designers who care about it.
Stock markets are headed for a 40% plunge, says economist who predicted crisis
Not all ideas are valid, but that therefore means that balance is a false paradigm? I don't see how that follows. There was a time(supposedly) when the idea that the Earth revolves around the sun was considered invalid.
Ya I'm worried that the only reason to oust Dorsey is to try and allow political ads again
Well, sure. My point is that showing up "on time" to an appointment and THEN making sure your tools work is backwards. No one says "I was on time except for needing to park, walk in, turn on the lights and sit down".

Typo. Paul.
Yet they're aware of that and set their rules and follow them accordingly; people only get ban from Twitter after 3 strikes as far as I know, and that's bad behaviour related, which if bad behaviour happens more by "one side" than the other - how can you blame the platform/moderators for that?
> something to be said for the fact that having several months of preparation and notice will improve readiness remarkably compared to Hubei province

Do note though that the system is already getting strained in some parts of Italy, and it sounds like Iran is in very serious trouble. Despite what seems like a pretty aggressive response, South Korea has had very rapid spread through a cult church.

Elsewhere in China the virus has been largely contained, but the Chinese have imposed extreme quarantine measures at unprecedented scale, which are just now easing a bit (hopefully without a regression in virus spread).

Developing countries are going to have a really bad time with this virus, and even in the US and Western Europe it seems plausible that healthcare systems could be overwhelmed, since to date in many places the carefulness of quarantines, the level of testing, the extent of contact tracing, etc. has been quite limited in comparison to e.g. Singapore or South Korea.

The US response seems disorganized, and anecdotally healthcare workers I have talked to have received little guidance or training so far.

Supply chain disruptions and spikes in demand are having a substantial effect on the availability of personal protective gear and some pharmaceuticals (e.g. antibiotics used for treating secondary bacterial infections in viral pneumonia patients).

Yearly flu season already strains the medical system. This virus seems from available evidence to be both substantially more contagious and substantially more dangerous (higher rates of severe symptoms) compared to the typical flu. When it reaches epidemic scale in a particular place it could make every other kind of medical emergency quite a bit riskier. In Wuhan there are many stories of people with e.g. cancer or heart problems being unable to obtain medical care, because medical resources were fully devoted to coronavirus patients.
Interesting concept. I currently use Ground News and love that. Is this very different from it? (before I actually download it)

When you get banned for simply posting facts that one group dislikes, while "KILL ALL WHITE MEN" is totally fine and acceptable, there's definitely a balance problem. The idea that one socio-political viewpoint is objectively correct, and another is the same as believing the earth is flat is not a reasonable analogy.
Competition is narrow, but scurrilous.

I seriously don't understand this. I am a developer learning Modern C++ and this article was perfectly clear to me. I was using `enable_if` before, but the new `if constexpr` does make things clear and idiomatic.
Kind of a misleading headline. Elliot has a long history of activist investing primarily motivated by profits and having nothing to do with politics.
Just tested it, it returns people with some similar features but that are obvious different persons, different face shape and size , maybe facial hair and glasses confuses it or they could not find any better matches so they returned just something so it is not empty.
I can understand why newer languages have moved away from this style of declaration syntax, and moving away has brought merits such as becoming more intuitive to understand to novices, as well as better support for tooling / IDEs, including parsing performance gains.

On the other hand, nothing is quite so easy to read and write for me as the terse C declaration syntax (granted I don't declare a lot of pointers-to-functions-returning-pointers-to-functions).
protip from someone in the trenches: until you have given the problem to many people in interviews and evaluated their responses to calibrate your judgement, problems like these serve only one purpose in an interview that is satisfying interviewers ego about how smart he is.
Wait... so if you buy book then it seizes to be GPLed? This is quite confusing. For DL research, most code is MIT licenced and legal folks at many industrial labs would be quite hesitent to permit use of code from this repo with feels like legal minefield with different restrictions spread over multiple places including LICENSE, README, fastai website and perhaps printed book. I would highly recommand converting to one simple MIT license and call it a day (except for markdown cells).

I dunno, these aren't very interesting to me. Question one is good.

Question two relies on the answerer knowing specific details about the distribution of perfect numbers, which isn't a "trick" in any meaningful sense. Either you know it or you don't. Contrast with "Are the arguments to memcmp() declared const in ISO C99?". Is that a "trick" question?

And question three is just senseless pedantry. It says that unicode symbols don't make "real" strings if you reverse their orders. Which is true, but not really what the question was asking. ASCII strings aren't "real" if you reverse their order either, because "real" is a human distinction that doesn't live at the data layer. It is certainly true that a reversed unicode string containing ligatures and combining characters is a VALID string per the unicode standard, which seems to meet the phrasing of the question as asked.
I read the article, and as much as I see a lot of Elliott Management's tactics as personally odious, this action seems very much par for the course for them. That is, I don't see the political angle having much weight.

Elliott has always been very clear the absolute only thing they care about is making more money, and finding companies that they believe have a management team that is not 100% laser focused on increasing shareholder value have always been a target for them. Given Dorsey's dual CEO roles and his persona as the tech-male version of Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand, not out of character at all that they'd be eyeing a change in management.

As an aside, would someone who is more versed in the world of finance explain how these PE companies are able to have so much leverage when the stakes they take are still relatively small (e.g. single digits). Management in firms across the world shudder with fear when Elliott takes a sizable stake, but I don't understand how Elliott can wield so much power without having a greater percentage of shares.
Balance? How do you balance what is essentially a cesspool. The Internet, and specifically 'social media', always ends up at the lowest common denominator.
What about the Mueller report that showed ads bought by Russians that supported Sanders and Clinton?

Many big companies being headquartered in SF are left-leaning. I don't think they should let their political opinions trickle to business, but they do. It's a shame.

It should be neutral and non-political, supportive of all view points.
You can be kicked out of any place of business for any reason... The web is no different.
I'm not saying it's inaccurate, I'm saying it's irrelevant. Not every story is about national politics.
The opposite, I would like to see fewer people banned, on all sides.

I know personally a large number of people banned for expressing pretty mainstream right-leaning beliefs on the platform.

I also know people who have declared that we should kill Trump's children who my report on that went nowhere.
So disagree with Twitter politics three times and you’re gone. That’s a fair system? I would agree with you if there weren’t so many examples of people getting banned for “wrong think” and not rule breaking.

Doesn't the VA have a bad track record due to its disability rating classification system? If you have 100% disability but they deem you to have 50%, they won't pay enough for you to get what you really need. The problem with the VA is not that it's run by the government, it's that it is capable of fucking and bankrupting you, just like the rest of our healthcare system.
