I think there’s a distinction to be made between a tu quoque fallacy and something like an economists “revealed preferences,” the way people act gives you information about How they feel about the truth of an assertion.

In the article he says if the jackpot is happening, it’s been happening for the last hundred years, and I agree with that, but I don’t think it’s happening (in the sense that I assign a very, very low probability to 80% of humans dying). I do think climate change is a very serious problem and have adjusted my behavior accordingly, but if I thought 80% of humans were going to die, I would adjust my behavior a lot more, and if William Gibson doesn’t adjust his behavior a lot more, then I think it’s plausible to assign a higher probably to him being a fool or him not actually believing the jackpot will happen. The latter seems more likely.

And I understand that from a logical perspective, what I believe about William Gibson has no bearing on whether the jackpot will happen, but it seems like the best way to judge the likelihood of something like that is to evaluate the statements and actions of lots of smart people.
You are several years out of date. Please take a look at benchmarks and real usage from the last few months. With Zen 2, AMD has won the IPC game. Their Threadripper 64 core CPUs boost to 4GHz. There is just no alternative to this kind of performance to be found anywhere in Intel products right now.
Yes a lot of effort has gone into developing treatments. The term vaccine is often used in the press to refer to all sorts of different treatments, such as anti-viral drugs. Actual vaccines are tricky, we know a lot about influenzas for example and have a wide variety of the viruses to study and experiment with and understand how to develop vaccines against new strains pretty quickly. There has never been a successful vaccine against Coronavirus family viruses though, they seem a lot harder to target effectively.

'Vulture Capitalism' is not a 'formal' term, and yes, I'm well aware of how it's generally applied. I obviously don't agree with it. Particularly, in this case, the vulture is the corrupt government of Argentina.
People and nature are unpredictable and so is the world. Businesses don’t exist in a vacuum. What’s valuable to a specific person is tied to their current environment and their location in space and time. A business that satisfies such a need and is discoverable from such a demographic profits.
Good luck taking a vacation in the EU or (maybe) having to change planes after getting diverted.

As long as you stay away from the EU, they'll probably not touch for GDPR.
The major reason is far too many people exhibit an exaggerated state of self entitlement which they use to excuse their actions including those which put others at risk. Some will do it just to spite others, some will do it out ignorance. We just have so many people who have the means to travel that you cannot properly contain any outbreak so you do the best to mitigate the impact

The end result usually is the same, someone else will pay. Which means business big and small for which some litigant finds a twist which a jury is sympathetic to.

Semi-OT, but I did a double take at this:

>Like the UC Santa Cruz strike, the UC Santa Barbara work stoppage is a “wildcat” strike, meaning that graduate students are acting separately from the United Auto Worker (UAW) 2865, the union which represents more than 19,000 workers across the UC system.

I thought that was a mistake somehow, but it turns out that, yes, the UC students are organized as a branch of UAW despite not being auto workers.

I agree. My experience has been that most machine learning tools help answer a question, but don't provide APIs and method to help you define the specific question you want to solve.

This is actually why I work on an open source library called Compose[0]. The goal of compose is to help people define prediction problems and extract training examples. By using a standardized API the tool can then automatically search the data for the training examples you can use for machine learning.

We're still in the early days of developing this tool, but we hope to structure and standardize this earlier step of the machine learning process that is normally ignored.

Ah, yes, Netscape Navigator was available for 16 bit Windows 3.1. Even if NeWS was open source, the vast majority of personal computers at the time weren't powerful enough to run it. I only ever saw it running on a $10K Sun SPARCstation.
Yes, it is active with many recent contributions. The goal was to show how much opportunity is there for making things more optimal from running perspective. Imagine how much of cpu power and electricity wasted
The VC asset class is a tiny segment of PE specifically intended for high risk investments. BTW this de facto definition evolved roughly in the mid 80s — the metrics and process you are referring to were used for early investments like Intel and Apple.

If your business doesn’t have this profile (opportunity for better than 10X return in a few years) then it is not of interest to those wanting to invest in this asset class.

But those more conventional businesses make up the bulk of all new businesses (restaurants, various service companies, manufacturers, etc) and the bulk of all new business investing. Most of the new business investment infrastructure is around them. Loans, as you say, F&F, and investments from investment pools, investment companies and the like.

That was actually kind of the point of the "Blue Ant" trilogy ("Pattern Recognition" and its sequels). It was supposed to be set when it was written, not the future. It was a type of requiem for cyberpunk because we are living in the cyberpunk universe. With "The Peripheral/Agency" he is returning to actual science fiction but of a type that is very different from cyberpunk.

It's the only web framework in Rust that has thus far reached maintenance mode because it became feature complete, was heavily vetted by many teams, and is architecturally mature. It's not just really fast but has all of the bells and whistles. Further, people are actively contributing to the project. Replacing remaining sound yet unsafe blocks with fully safe rust, without taxing performance, is the remaining, ongoing effort at hand.

Your claims about being dead are wildly exaggerated and misleading.

You're in NYC as am I. The Rust NYC meet-up is a great way to connect and learn more.
It seems like there is some blame with the ombudsman who will only take complaints for people who have already gone through a non-functional complaints process.

The idea of an ombudsman is to have a human point of contact when the machine of bureaucracy has become wholly unreasonable. Adding bureaucratic barriers in front of the ombudsman kind of defeats their purpose.
SARS had vaccine candidates but disappeared before testing was completed. It sounds like candidates are being used as basis for some SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

There have been announcements for vaccine candidates for SARS-CoV-2 entering initial trials. It sounds like the delay for vaccine will be full trials and production and not development.
Is there any surprise here? Anecdotally Node seems fast for interpreters, but of course a compiled systems language like Rust blows it away. That’s a known trade off you make when picking a technology like Node; there are plenty of other reasons to use it.
For home users, nothing. For larger businesses, it’s all about dollars, and there are some good use cases for AMD.

I would say that in the past, some OEMs have very fickle support for AMD lines, and you can run into problems if you have many of them affected by some obscure bug that isn’t getting fixed.

Science and the Turf Wars of Consciousness
Not having or wanting kids does not mean not caring about them. Few of my teachers in elementary school were childless, and still incredibly supportive and important figures in my life growing up. I actually find parents selfish. Putting their own kids 1st, being offensively over protective and unsupportive of other, sometimes more deserving kids, which are not their own, ie when it comes to opportunities and investment etc. I guess that’s natural, but it also means a childless person will find it easier to “love” other people’s children and care about issues other than the ones of interest to themselves first most.
Could We Build a Dyson Sphere?
Hey, OP here.

Specifically, I'm interested in how do you coordinate frontend and backend engineers when building a single feature.

For example, your backend engineers are building new Firebase Cloud Function, what's the process of making sure that the frontend engineers can test this function?

Do you keep a separate environment where all dev functions are deployed? From what I was reading on Firebase docs, it seems that I have to create a completely separate project for this. Plus the frontend engineers have to keep a set of function endpoints for dev and separate set of function endpoints for production. It's just seem like too much of a hassle.
There are 70 known cases of Coronavirus in the US. Making precautions at this point is reasonable, going to extremes is not.

My suggestion is to prepare for the possibility of major disruption starting 2 to 6 months from now. Avoid non refundable trips etc.

Yeah, I'd say GUI development is one of the places OOP really shines. I think a lot of the OOP was a mistake opinions come from its ubiquitous use in the enterprise, even in domains for which it was not well suited.
> Solo people working on projects aren't too bad so long as they communicate the work they're doing and document it well.

Strongly disagree, been there, hurt like hell. Solo people on projects mean that other people can't give meaningful reviews (because they don't know the project that well, and because they have their own work), leading to 1. developer not getting good feedback and improving, 2. higher risk of them going down some rabbit holes, 3. bus factor of one and stressful vacations, 4. less guarantee that the docs and the code are any good, 5. a danger that this solo developer will turn into one of those "knowledge hoarders".

Solo development is never OK (imnsho). Sometimes you can't avoid it, but it should be a calculated risk, and only a temporary one.
I think Google's handling of security issues in Android has been badly broken for quite a while now. Here's a timeline from another security bug in the same (security critical!) subsystem:

- 2014-02-24 AM - Discovery.
- 2014-02-24 PM - Vendor notification.
- 2014-02-24 PM - Vendor acknowledgement and confirmation.
- 2014-02-26 - Attempt to setup coordinated disclosure (no response).
- 2014-04-07 - Public disclosure.
- 2014-10-17 - Response from Android security team offering line in Android security - acknowledgements.
- 2014-11-03 - Verified fixed in Android Lollipop.

(The impact of this bug was keystore material leakage between apps. No CVE was assigned!)

That was a long time ago, and of course two anecdotes aren't data. But it makes it all the more interesting to read Project Zero's frustration with poor disclosure practices by others.

Awesome work, Eugene!

I had almost the exact same experience going from a psychology degree, to coding in SF, to heading up analytics for the Trail Blazers. Luck, self-study, and Kaggle! Really cool to hear that someone else also took the psychology to data analysis route.
This sounds a lot like the SJLJ runtime model that was used in G++ for years.

> The C++ standard can’t call for this because of the “zero cost if you don’t use it” rule. But a Linux ABI could. The MacOS takes advantage of this kind of freedom.

That's not really true. It has nothing to do with the standard. It has everything to do with the compiler's users complaining about the performance hit relative to DWARF EH. It is part of the social contract between the standards body, the compiler author community, and the user community that unused features don't cost us in runtime performance.
That's Xamarin. Flutter is better at implementing custom UI, like stuff that can be seen on dribbble.
Thanks! That’s a great read. And very disappointing.
Speaking specifically for gaming, it’s interesting to see trends for machine specs by top streamers - the ones pulling in millions per year who usually pay big money for the best most gluttonous machines available. For the most part you see them running the intel 9900K/KS line HOWEVER many of them were built in late 2018 when both that chip and the 2080TI gpus came out.

It’ll be interesting to see what standard they set this summer when the new Nvidia GPU comes out. I expect everyone will upgrade then including CPUs if they deem a different CPU available.

Also a slight tangent, it’ll be interesting to see how the competitive landscape shakes out after the pricing hike in hardware due to logistics slow downs in Asia due to all the quarantines going on. Linus TEch Tips just did a great video on this, maybe when the dust settles AMD will be the undisputed champion.
When I was doing a cyber training exercise in the military, we had an Air Force general tell us that the best technical officers they had started out with non-technical degrees. They said that officers with undergrad degrees in things like IT, Software Engineering, and Computer Science, weren't very good at thinking outside of the box because everything they did was fairly low level and had a provably correct solution. The officers with degrees like psychology and political science were better at taking in large amounts of information, and deducing a "best" answer to a problem that didn't have a "correct" answer. I noticed the same thing when I started teaching after I got out of the military; people with technical backgrounds wanted a checklist to follow, and didn't really care about the end result as long as the steps were followed. Non-technical students would look at what the result should be, and do whatever was necessary, creating their own checklist as they went along.

>The university is then forced to hire all kinds of staff to run and maintain these buildings, lest they ruin their reputation by allowing the fancy buildings to fall into disrepair.

I talked with one of my professors at Iowa State about this topic. He said back in the day, donors only needed to pay the cost of the building and then the university would get hit with tons of maintenance and utility expenses.

For some time now, they have to donate the cost of the building and money for an endowment for expected maintenance costs and operating costs.
I'm traveling in Seattle, where as of this morning the health department has confirmed 6 cases of coronavirus of which only one was a recent traveler to China.[0] I would appreciate the ability to cancel a reservation if I feel sick, especially at a reservation with a shared bathroom.

I can only think of ecosystem size and language familiarity. Authors addressed development speed and found that Rust's static typing and compiler checks reduced development time vs JS. What other reasons did you have in mind?
The link says you can only automatically cancel for mainland china and korean trips.

So any trips to Italy, Iran, Washington State etc can’t be refunded. It encourages people to still go.

Sunk cost fallacy: people might not take a free trip to italy now, but they may go if they previously paid for one.
It could have been zero cases if they didn’t start detection, and right now is very limited detection and found 70.
Entirely missing the point. It isn't "poor country has unclean air", it is "mass producer has unclean air". There are no technologies that rich countries are hoarding and using to clean their air that is too costly for poorer nations. If you moved all of this production back to developed countries, their air won't be clean either.

Just because China took the hit of having unclean air in order to manufacture stuff for the world's needs so it could raise its population from poverty, doesn't mean that they don't have enough money to get any rich country tech that can clean the air. No technology can work effective enough at the rate that China manufactures shit that all developed countries use without realising where it's sourced from.

Not comparable. Brunsli and Lepton are lossless compressors for JPEG files; HEIF is a completely different lossy image encoder.

To compare the size of a Brunsli/Lepton encoded JPEG file with an HEIF image, you'd need to define some sort of quality equivalence between the two, which gets complicated fast.
I think you mean corporations display an exaggerated sense of self-entitlement, and by not making full refunds easy and well-understood, they create these negative externalities.

Asking individuals to bear the financial risk related to these types of emergencies seems wrong to me on all levels, moral, pragmatism, effectiveness, social fairness, etc.

These types of risks should be borne by corporations in the form of strictly less profit for executives and shareholders. Not by raising prices, not by cutting staff, not by reducing employee benefits. These are risks that have to absorbed by classes of people with extreme financial reserves to cushion the blow, not by classes of people without those means.
I think there's a much deeper problem at Scottish Power than just IT systems. I spent close to a year trying to get them to fix an incorrect bill and nobody I talked to had any idea what to do (probably 6 or 7 people across various departments).

I know many others who have had similar problems with Scottish Power, and I'm sure there will be more testimonies in other comments.

The question on my mind is how does a company resolve such deep-rooted institutional failings?

Show HN: apollo-link-sentry – enrich breadcrumbs with operation's data
I would definitely be very interested in a generalized inside view of how everything works!

I stumbled on some PCMCIA-slot card readers at one point, which led me on a fun adventure discovering that I can list recent transactions out of my bank card. (Then after losing my wallet (annoying but not tragic) I discovered (to my initial confusion) that the latest model doesn't include this nice "feature". Hmph.) Learning how bankcards worked was very interesting.

And - facepalm - of course the terminals I referred to are running their own firmware: Medicare cards do indeed use magnetic stripes.

I'm currently headscratching over how authentication/access cards work, and the associated various industry thrashings (standardization, PGP crypto, cloneability, etc).
One of the interesting aspects of this account is the role of online classes (Coursera and edX).

I always thought that those kinds of things are useful and should be effective but (online) anecdotes suggest they are not. Seems like there is a missing step and the author was able to find that step. (Branded company work?)
I understand what you are saying about overreacting, but citing 70 current cases is misleading. The current thinking according to a tweet I can’t find is that there is a cluster of at least 300 in Washington.

I’m guessing if the USA was actually testing as much as they should the current count would be closer to 1,000. The fiasco with the returned cruise ship passengers alone could have dramatically spread it.
Believing 70 "known" cases in the US = 70 existing cases in the US is a fallacy.
