I once read on this forum, "your competition is Excel."
Australian PM basically confirmed this conspiracy theory recently, the main risk AU intelligence identified in Huawei hardware wasn't interception of intelligence by China* rather denial of access to networks with Huawei hardware which compromises intelligence sharing, i.e. it makes it harder for FVEY agencies to spy on each other's citizens. Also puts in perspective William Barrs' recent comment on buying controlling share in Ericsson or Nokia.

There's also the drama last year where US claimed Huawei technicians was helping Uganda and Zambia spy on political opponents. Political opponents being Washington friendly anti-establishment candidates, and helping being acceding to request for lawful interception duties as vendor. To be fair the technicians also helped used Israeli spyware to extract Whatsapp data. The TL;DR of the entire debacle being Chinese hardware actively undermines US foreign influence operations abroad.

*I surmise the reason US is having so much trouble producing convincing evidence of Huawei malfeasance is that China actually haven't exploited Huawei hardware because they don't want to risk damaging the brand's reputation. That's not to say China doesn't spy, of course they do. They just have the capability to do so without going through Huawei.
To everyone questioning the false positive and false negative rates: your point is well-taken, and it is the reason why it was necessary to push the FDA to allow non-CDC labs to perform COVID-19 testing based on a fast-tracked version of the clinical validation process.

To those that point out that there are newer/faster/better ways to actually achieve the same results: you're right but that doesn't mean that the machines, reagents, collection media, etc. are ready for prime time in this type of setting. Remember: the entire process needs to be clinically validated in order to earn the trust of doctors and public health officials who are literally making life vs. death decisions.

TL;DR - Your points are valid, and there are real challenges that make certain solutions impractical at this point in time. Consider this a call to action to entrepreneurs who are serious about helping patients at home and around the world.
HIV/AIDS is very different in that it takes a long time to kill. It doesn't lead to the breakdown of infrastructure because you suddenly have a million people showing up at the hospital at the same time.

That property is also what helps it spread so much despite not being very contagious. It's very hard to catch HIV. Making out with a someone positive is unlikely to transmit. Heterosexual vaginal sex is also unlikely to transmit (especially for the man who is at much lower risk). With SARS-CoV-2 all it takes is touching the same surface.

This is what makes HIV manageable and not a black swan to global market, while the Wuhan coronavirus is.
If you have an HPC workload it can make sense. Lots and lots of software work is I/O bound and doesn't do a whole heckuva lot of computation.

I used to use OpenCL at work a lot.
Given it was run by the CIA, possibly something more going on behind the scenes there.
An engineer was imprisoned because another engineer was spiteful. You don't consider this a dumb political decision? I consider the default judgment of "everyone goes to the gulags" to be shitty governance, and also quite stupid.

My understanding is Korolev's health greatly declined because of his time while imprisoned, and had he never had to endure it he likely would have lived much longer.

This is why only a fool would use the service for real problems.

If you can find a way out of that, for example by avoiding knowledge of identity, the service could be safe to use. Maybe you could take payment in a privacy-protecting cryptocurrency (not Bitcoin) and have the users connect with a tor browser.
“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In the digital age, information is everything. And information usually precedes action, so in my eyes your argument is wilfully ignorant to the larger reality of a complex globalized world.

I think the US and other Global North countries have a massive shadow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j800SVeiS5I

This seems like a waste of time. It's not illegal to register a domain name, no matter how similar it is to your domain name. If you want those domain names, then buy them. My family runs a business and we bought the domain names that we thought were similar. We respect the fact that if someone buys our domain but with ".io" at the end instead, then that's their right. I would be very scared of a world where people can sue over names being "too similar to this large company with lots of money and power". These domain name companies serve one purpose: selling available domain names. It's not complicated. Let's not make it complicated.
Education in my opinion would be a bargain compared to insane levels of military spending, gas and oil subsidies, bank bailouts, etc. This is selfish though. One, I have to pay for my kids education some day, and two, I think it's overall a good thing for our species (depending on the quality).

Eventually we'll look back at college (including trades) education being free like we look now on elementary education being free.
These are awesome, thanks.

By 'declarative' I mean some way of telling the shell how my bin can provide completions itself.

E.g. for the AWS util, I am envisioning something like

aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-id __INSTANCEID__
__INSTANCEID__: $(aws ec2 list-instances --query Instance.ID)

Syntax here is not anything like a well thought out proposal, just a demonstration of what I believe to be a shell agnostic method of describing both 'where can I complete?' and 'how can I compete it?'
> It was then that I realized one of two things were true: either every software organization is ridiculously unreasonably dysfunctional, or the types of software organizations that would hire me were ridiculously unreasonably dysfunctional.

... or you never invested enough effort to look for your right team.

There is more than one team out there thats exactly what you're looking for.

It might take time and effort on your part to find them, but with enough effort you will.

Part of building a solid business is building solid relationships

The backend I have been working on for over a year, with DB, lots of random libraries for functionality like image processing, crypto, error capturing, SFTP etc has fewer liens of code than the very basic project structure to get started with React.
I just want to post the Michael Jackson popcorn gif right now.
I sort of want to question what you mean exactly by "use Emacs"? Emacs is a lisp environment / UI framework for application development. So in principle saying you don't want to use an application implemented in Emacs is like saying you don't want to use an application implemented in Electron. I'm only 85% serious there, obviously Emacs has a certain amount of cruft that Electron I assume does not.

You could start an emacs process just in order to use Magit -- you wouldn't have to use it for anything else. However, I totally understand that you might well not want to mess about configuring emacs to load magit and working out how to start it etc. How about these?

You cannot do spooning with two blankets.
It helps if your goal was something else. Hard to solve this without knowing your hopes and passions in life. One can always have a list of common things people hope for and allow you to track progress.

For example,losing weight to be healthy is not a good motivator for most. Losing weight to attract a mate or a job, or perhaps out of fear for an early death is a good motivator.

It's a journey but when you make the journey your destination your experience would revolve around starting and stopping the journey or tracking some milestone as opposed to reaching some end. Of course people with discipline don't suffer from this curse.
Writing works. On pen and paper. I keep journals on everything. I have a series of journals on books I’ve read and what I thought about them. Writing tends to be the key.
The topic of better vs worse, or good vs evil is the very basis of morality.

"Morality (noun): principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior."

I encourage you to think more deeply about your argument. I struggle to agree that the "very vast majority of cases" are positive.

It sounds to me like you are sensitive to apathy and/or nihilism. I can understand that, especially these days, but just because it feels like nothing is being done doesn't mean things can't get worse.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a cynic these days.
Maybe because some governments are directly involved in the cyber crime?
Here is another game... Sit outside of a car wash and count how many of these supposed "utility" vehicles go through them. They're almost always spotless both before and after they go through...
Realtime PCR isn't sequencing. It increases the concentration of the targeted sequence exponentially, so it "should" take only logarithmically more temperature cycles to handle a smaller concentration of virus . If that is actually a big contributor to the testing cost, it would make the log in my analysis into a log^2.
A couple older links on Babel Street from Vice and TWP (2017):

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/gv7g3m/meet-babel-street-...

Babel Street's first customer was the Pentagon, according to TWP. It appears to have since spread with virulence to nearly all branches of government.

I wonder how viable they'd be (in cellphone location tracking) if permissions actually meant something in Android. I missed any mention of iphones in the Protocol article, but would default to equal cynicism.

It depends on what the information is used for. If it's to stop nuclear proliferation, it's audacious. If it's to monitor and then disappear political dissidents, it's pure evil.
>Human rights advocates celebrated Thursday after the International Criminal Court determined that an investigation into alleged war crimes committed by United States forces and others in Afghanistan during the so-called War on Terror can proceed.

I know it's Common Dreams so the bar is low but if you're reading the comments first just know that the article doesn't get any better or informative from here. Case in point, the writer had all the time in the world to quote tweets from activists but couldn't even be bothered to mention that the US never ratified the Rome Statute and is also among the list of countries to declare they changed their mind on committing to the ICC.
> Or stick your money in an index fund

Yes, the market grows over a long horizon.

Know this though - that long horizon might exceed your horizon when you definitely need the money.

Index funds can often perform worse than cash in a 3% bank checking account if the timing's off. There are a few of those 3% bank checking accounts right here in the U.S.
People used to say the same thing about C++ vs. assembler.

I'm not saying React couldn't be better but it is super popular and enables a lot of applications by a wider range of developers even if it is a more bloated.

Just like C++ vs. assembler.
RT-PCR is the typical way to test viral infection. Anyone knows if Stanford Clinical Virology Laboratory has invented anything new or just a press release to note that they are prepared to do SARS-CoV-2 viral testing since CDC has finally authorized all private and university labs can perform tests just recently?
I think there's kind of two aspects to that (why client/server):

1. The X protocol was roughly like an evolution of the VT-like protocols which were used for text-based terminals back in the day. Those protocols supported cursor control, simple character-based graphics, and later, simple vector graphics. X was an evolution of that to deal with bitmapped displays, mice, etc.

2. Hardware was pretty expensive. Giving everyone in the office an X terminal was far cheaper than giving everyone a workstation. Again, that was an evolution of VT terminals vs. minicomputers.

Even X terminals weren't cheap. In the early 90's a monochrome 15" terminal could be a couple thousand dollars while the workstation was at least 10x more.

Namecheap released my information inadvertently a while back by responding to a subpoena for someone else. And in the process just dumped all of my information that was not covered by the subpoena request at all.

> The human body’s remarkable ability to adapt to the cold

This is just bullshit. Total bullshit.

The cold kills more people than the heat. Hot climates are better for health. Hot climate and climate controlled is the best

Just because under some pretty specific conditions people accidentally survive is not remarkable. It's just an odd story.

They even talk about people undressing, or it blunts our sensation of thirst or people hiding themselves when they get cold, how is that remarkable? It's interesting and scary perhaps, it's informative.

What allows us to survive in the cold, or space or on water or anywhere is our intelligence, and our intelligence pre-planning how to be safe. It's our high abstractions.

Do you learn to swim, wear a life jacket, check the weather before boating or trust your remarkable body?

I regularly ran X over ISDN back when that was a thing. Framemaker wasn't exactly snappy, but it was usable. Lighter stuff was fine. Watching contemporary RDP keep up over 64k was painful.
I've never fully understood Create React App. Is it for people who just churn out generic apps at a rate that the time to set up the dev env is a meaningful cost? I'm not sure I've found setting up webpack or whatnot to be all that time consuming.

My bigger concern is that I don't want to become a passenger rather than the driver of my environment and build pipeline.
With the prevalence of search-driven interactions and increasing popularity of GUIfying the CLI, I feel like we are somehow converging to Oberon. I wonder how that will look like.

Is this true?
So let's go with option 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...
The client supplied the domain knowledge...in more than a few cases they were doing things manually, and I automated them. For example the vendor verification involved manually looking up licenses, or doing data entry on ACORD25 insurance forms. I automated it, so that given a license number, trade, and state, a crawler would fetch the data on a schedule. I also wrote a parser that could read insurance data from an ACORD25 form and put it in a database. The client was tracking all of this in spreadsheets, and I just copied the logic from there.
"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice"

Time is limited. To be successful at anything you need to sacrifice time now for your future success.

"startup leaders now give up their spare time to succeed"

I've never been forced to work weekends. The only time I did was when I was swapping hours for days I was taking off as a consultant, and this was by choice.

A startup is different though. Startups are usually fast-paced and you go into it knowing you will be working long hours with the hope of a lottery ticket payout.
“I read this post on Mac OS 9. Conclusion: not dead”

Unless you’re using a pedantic and useless definition of dead (a bad faith interpretation, I would argue), your statement doesn’t make much sense.

What is "specificity" and do you have a source to back up your claim?

(ie, if an individual is infected does it detect it 70% of the time? Or just a true negative 70% of the time? What about the chance of a false negative? A false positive? Etc)
There seems to be two broad categories of products: those for pools and those for beaches.

Here's a shortlist of systems for pools:
Coral Manta, SwimEye, Mobotix, Axis, AngelEye, Argusmatik, Poseidon, Zwembadcamera, Optoswim, Dipsee A.I., and Lynxight Deep Vision.

For beaches there's:
Milestone, Coastalcoms, etc., and two of the above companies also do beaches:
Dipsee A. I., and Lynxight Deep Vision.
Posting statistics without a source or context isn't very helpful.

Though I have no idea where you got it from, or whether it refers to one country or the whole world, getting out of the bottom 20% and ending up the in the bottom 30%, for example, would still leave you in a situation where you're struggling to get by in most countries in the world. Which is why this doesn't contribute much without more context.

Edit: found it - https://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/legacy/uploadedfiles/pcs_a...

It's quite interesting that you left out the very next phrase, cutting off your quote in the middle of a sentence:

"Forty-three percent of Americans raised in the bottom quintile remain stuck in the bottom as adults, and 70 percent remain below the middle."

Also, right above that is:

"Americans raised at the bottom and top of the family income ladder are likely to remain there as adults, a phenomenon known as 'stickiness at the ends'."

No wonder you didn't post a link.
> I trust Intel relatively

This seems like a bad idea. Probably the number 1 reason for a host to go snooping in your VPS is because they have been requested to by a government. A government also has the power to ask intel to let the host do this. So no security has been gained here.
Yes, those are pure evil. The particular case of monitoring nuclear weapons development programs or the Billy Carter case mentioned in the article, however, is more on the audacious side.

Looks like strictly static analysis? I am personally very interested in using dynamic analysis to guide static analysis efforts. When I do run into malware I need to know its harmful effects and persistence mechanisms (!) immediately so I can do IR. That's a different purpose than research or countermeasure development.
Yeah, Facebook's trying to strong-arm registrars, but the fundamental premise comes off to me as entitled. It's like they're asserting they're too important and they don't want to go after these domain holders one-by-one, so the registrars should do their bidding.
Is nobody else bothered by the logic in the 3rd paragraph?

> As with all currently available tests, it’s not yet clear how long a person needs to be infected before testing positive, or whether someone who's infected could be identified by the test before displaying symptoms.
That's all for the benefit of the developer to the detriment of the user.

Also modern compilers condense C++ down pretty well. You can write something on godbolt.org and see how much waste there really is. You might be surprised.
> I am not sure what RSS Reader people are using these days

Reeder is the best RSS application I've seen. I sync it with Feedly on macOS and iOS. Vienna RSS is another solid (open source!) option on mac, although the UI isn't as nice as Reeder.

Linux users have FeedReader, which seems pretty great.

I haven't found a client I love on Windows. There's a lot of abandoned applications that look and feel a few decades old.
I have an aeropress for making coffee at work. It is quick and easy to use and it is very quick to clean but the main reason for me is the process. I get my cup, filter and press from my desk, fill the porlex grinder with some beans, then I stand in the kitchen nearest to my desk (very open-plan large office building) and grind the beans. Every time I grind the coffee people walk by and comment on the nice smell. I enjoy the process, I enjoy the sound of the manual grinder and I enjoy taking the time to perform the task after sitting at a keyboard for so long. I make the coffee (upside down) and watch other people go to the onsite cafe and buy a $5 coffee which takes longer to order than I take to make mine. I find it tastes great and is considerably better filtered than a french press. I have had this a fair few years now but I know I am approaching my 700th cup as I bought it with 2 packs of 350 paper filters and I will soon run out.
5 stars, would buy again.

It's a great way to get started building a "modern web app" for folks who aren't comfortable rolling their own e.g. webpack / babel configs.

If you ever want to have more control, you can "eject" & customize however you like.
