From the article:

(1) Rent for $0.20-1.20/mo - or -

(2) Sell for $20-24

Sell/rent ratio is 17-120 months. These numbers seem very different than for real estate. It's as if the cost to rent a $1M property could be as high as $60k/mo. Not really sure what to think of it, perhaps the comparison is too simplistic.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Bargain PHP / JS work offered from the UK.

I'm looking for work to gain experience and build a stronger portfolio. Cheap rates ($10-15) can be negotiated, or fixed fee for project work.

I am able to work with:

PHP

Laravel

JS

Vue.js

Large or small projects considered.

Regulators here generally have a mandate to screen for both safety and efficacy. I think the mandate for efficacy is quite important--if you loosen standards there, you get warped incentives, and you'll end up spending lots of money on things that the producers know don't work. We already have an example of such an industry in the health supplement industry.
I've had a similar experience. In particular links will just "drop out" for periods of time. The public forwarding nodes were overburdened for quite a while. I set up my own "moon", but one of the sites has a cranky NAT, which will let a connection through for a while, then fail. It seems to take at least 30 seconds for zerotier to "notice" this and switch back to forwarding via the moon. Maybe the new multipath will help?
They don't have to have an enormous effect on an individual to have a disproportionate effect on a population. If a virus has a reproduction number of 4, and a mask prevents 1/4 infections, ten generations of the virus will infect one million people in a non mask wearing population and 59,000 people in a mask wearing population. If we assume a 1% fatality rate that's 10,000 that aren't dead.

Moreover, it's significantly fewer people who are all sick at the same time. This means more available hospital beds. It means more time to develop better treatments. Less pressure on supply chains. Less societal impact from people who can't work.

It's at best marginally effective at reducing a person's probability of catching or spreading a disease. But in the face of potentially exponential growth, reducing that base by a few percentage points is a huge win.

That's why vaccines are incredibly effective despite being only 90% effective. Disease simply doesn't spread when 90% of the population is immune, no matter how virulent the disease is.

About: I've worked primarily with early stage startups in the finance sector, worked for a few YC startups as well. I absolutely love building & designing product at every stage. I've launched a few of my own SaaS projects as well!

Looking for frontend, backend, design, or a combination of either.
Survata | Lead Big Data Engineer, Sr. Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time, Will Sponsor | ONSITE or REMOTE (PST timezone compatible)

About Survata:

Survata is a YC/venture-funded startup that helps large enterprises plan, measure, and optimize brand advertising campaigns. We offer a comprehensive set of tools that help our Fortune 500 clients to understand and improve how they’re perceived in the marketplace, how aware consumers are of the value they provide, and how much consumers trust them to provide the value they promise.

About the Role:

Survata has already built an excellent backend system for gathering and statistically analyzing data on consumer sentiment. But our revenue and client list are growing fast, which means we've got to adapt to new levels of scale in our data pipelines. We also are building out a suite of interactive, visually compelling, self-serve analytical tools to help marketers ask and answer sophisticated strategic questions (and visually communicate their results to internal stakeholders).

We need experienced technical leaders to work on our data pipelines, our Web API, and our React/Redux-based data visualization dashboard.

See and apply for these roles open roles at https://boards.greenhouse.io/survata/jobs/4581523002 and https://boards.greenhouse.io/survata/jobs/4534165002 or email me: george@survata.com

If a TV company put a bicycle on the box, there would be plenty of shipping damage. The only reason the opposite worked is because people naturally assume a TV is far more fragile than a bicycle.

I see a scintillating checkerboard pattern when I'm getting a migraine. It actually replaces most of my vision, then slowly fades until the pain starts. So if I start getting one I have about 10 minutes to get home before I'm blind enough to be unable to drive safely, and another 20 before I need to lay down in a dark room.
The electronic one could measure some other things, though. Like how long it spent in a tipped-over state, or what time it was tipped over so you know which shipper to blame.

You are getting your PhD in genetics. That really seems like your passion. I looked at your website and it's clear that you have been involved in some cool research. Maybe it's a blessing you didn't get that junior dev job. Is that really the path you want to take? Will that leverage your skills and interests? I think you're better off using the Advanced Search function on LinkedIn Jobs to mass apply to recently posted jobs in your niche. Bonus points for having a coffee chat with the person who posted the job. Also, make a list of all the people who can vouch for your work, especially people that you've done research for/with. Analyze their LinkedIn, find jobs at companies that they've worked with in the past, and ask if they can introduce you to someone at the company who can discuss the job with you.

That does sound very impressive. (Keep in mind, though, that there's no reason to think the q= settings give equivalent quality between JPEG XL and webp.)

Also, your lossless encoding was only 40 MiB instead of 49 MiB for pure Brunsli, so presumably JPEG XL is capable of some stronger lossless compression.

You don't have to explain benefits of statically typed languages to me, I'm not fresh from a bootcamp.

The flaw in any argumentation about programming languages is almost always universally stems from the fact that we eagerly paint everything either white or black.

And I've been coding for long enough to learn that there are no universal answers - clean OOP, or pure FP, dynamically or statically typed, garbage collected or manual memory management, etc. The answer is almost always: "it depends".

Looking at any specific language through a prism of your own beliefs guaranteed to form opinions that would be flawed.

You can't put all dynamically typed languages into the same bag - programming in Python is vastly different from programming in Clojure. Same way as you cannot do it for other properties of the language, like it being a Lisp or being hosted on JVM.
One code hangup probably costed this company everything. I'd hate to be the CTO right now.
Your internet goes down, you can’t watch netflix. Boo hoo. Your brokerage goes down, you can’t exit your positions, and, well, just look at the hundreds of thousands of dollars lost on reddit today. People were using their student loan money in their brokerage accounts. It really is a disaster.
They're such a massive company with already gigantic solid revenue streams; this wouldn't move the needle much in the short term.
> Do you have any sense of what the simplest conscious system looks like?

Nope.

> Can we construct one from legos in an aircraft hangar?

Almost certainly not. We can't even construct one on a silicon chip (yet).
Honestly though, this will be an interesting test of the effectiveness of WFH on a large scale. We can look at past pandemics and compare the loss of economic activity.

Further, companies are essentially forced into updating their infrastructure for remote work.

I believe much of the dogma around the notion of “Gotta be present to be successful” at a company is some marketed adage that lasted past its time.

Companies save more money from having less physical office space in the most expensive areas of the world. The markedly small reduction in productivity (or increase) would be compensated by worker satisfaction, environmental tax credits, and savings on physical location space.

Nvidia Shifts GTC San Jose to Online Event Due to Coronavirus
The answer is probably that this isn't real. A self driving car with better vision, perfect attention, and instant reactions won't get itself into that kind of situation. And in any other case where an accident is unavoidable, the answer is to just hit the brakes because it won't matter anyway.
Agreed! This is how I've always developed FFI code, for both Rust and Ruby. A thin wrapper that does little more than FFI and maybe mapping onto native memory-management techniques, and then a separate higher-level wrapper that provides as idiomatic an interface on top of the library as possible.
How sensitive is the test? You might end up flooding ERs with false positives, or people from not-at-risk populations.
We like to wait until it is too late before taking steps.
Tetration – What lies beyond exponentiaton
There aren't enough tests to do that. All that would happen is you'd run out testing, largely on unlikely cases as people flock to their doctors for tests, and when someone with clearer symptoms presents themselves you won't be able to test them.

You really don't think tens of thousands of medical doctors and experts haven't already thought this one through? They're not limiting tests because they're utter morons, they're limiting them because they are limited and they are trying to do the best with what they have.

One fun example from dark souls 2 on pc: If your FPS was set to 60 (from the consoles ~30fps) your weapons would degrade twice as fast apparently due to weapon durability loss being counted per frame that your weapon was in contact with a wall, floor, corpse, etc.
That's a dangerous game. Even if the receiver doesn't notice at inspection time, they might discover it after delivery. They could notice the balls don't move while breaking apart the box. Or, the expensive object they received might exhibit damage characteristic of being tilted. At that point it may be too late to prove the shipper did it, but they'll definitely re-inspect the tilt-detector.

If you're lucky, they'll never hire you again. If you're unlucky, they'll rehire you just to prove you defrauded them.

To whom does Alphabet need to validate Waymo to? It's too small relative to the ad business to move the needle.

The big (Fortune 500) company I work at already has an environment that is conducive to WFH - most people on my team do it ~1/week on average.

I'm very curious to see if/when we all get instructed to WFH though, because although WFH is allowed I doubt most people are as productive at home as at the office given how collaborative our work is. We regularly get updates on the virus from corporate so I expect it's only a matter of time.
Agreed, you get more buy in from existing deals as well because it’s no longer just a contract to use X it’s a partnership so you get better support, back channels for feature requests, etc.

When you share something, whether it's publicly or within a closed loop of social media, it is inherently not within your control anymore. You can NEVER create any kind of guarantee that clicking "delete" erases every potential copy of the data. Folks need to have that in the front of their mind when they create and share data on the internet. Full stop.

Now, morally, I could maybe understand where you're coming from. It's more of a "jerk move" than it is subverting a technical promise.

But I backup my Telegram messages occasionally through their data export tool. Are you proposing that I cross-reference my own backups with messages that get deleted from our chats? Same thing with WhatsApp.

Assuming I'm not commercially monetizing those backups, I consider it well within my rights to have a copy of conversations I've held with people in the past. And in fact, it may be by design that I don't want them to manipulate the "cloud copy" of our conversation in the future.

Peru already re-uses glass bottles.. they were doing it in 2010 when I spent 2 months there.

It's shocking you'd propose single use plastic bottles to be recycled over glass bottles that can be re-used hundreds (thousands?) of times.

I'm sure they can capture and clean the water and re-use that too, it doesn't just have to go down the drain.

I just can't help feeling that with everything there are nine million reasons not to do something, so we end up doing nothing. Analysis Paralysis.

The only reason the tests are limited is because the US rejected the WHO standard test, tried to make their own, screwed it up, and now are stonewalling frontline doctors (who are absolutely demanding more testing).

The article mentions the manual fallback for when the browser does not support the syntax, but I wonder what happens when Chrome gets updated to support color() but is used on a device that does support Wide Gamut Color.
