I mean, apart from anything else it's literally exactly the same issues you were highlighting with email: unnecessary verbiage to warm the discussion up and copying in loads of people indirectly involved, which may or may not be related to internal politics. And the fact the discussion which actually resolves the issue often won't take place in the channel.

With Slack you've got the added irritation of an expectation of real time responses, especially when someone's @mentioning the boss or everyone else in the division a minute after you haven't responded...
>Advising people to stockpile food this early is sure to make the situation even worse.

If the food stockpiling can be spread out so that a lot of it happens before the first local case is announced, then it will ease the burden on the system when the crisis arrives. Buying extra toilet paper at Costco does not stress the system if you do it months before there's a big problem, and it will ease the load during the crisis because you won't be buying toilet paper then. However stockpiling after the run has already begun might not be so useful...

If there are enough kiosks to avoid a line, always getting the receipt is still a huge improvement over scanning, even if it falsifies the "just walk out" bit.

Another potential alternative for the anxious (and I definitely include myself) is an app showing up-to-the-second billing state on the smartphone screen. At a glance, usability issues seem hard but doable.
I see this all the time as the response to the argument that people rely on these jobs. The difference will be if, like England, the replacement jobs are more valuable by having greater leverage and impact. Or, as I suspect, the replacement jobs are fewer with similar or less value. I suspect we will see the latter pushing our lower classes into a tighter and lower band of incomes.

As far as I can see many of the jobs we do these days don't provide any real value. In this case cashier doesn't provide real value so good riddance. But I'm not confident we'll find ourselves in a better place in the future.

Also, somehow we undervalue manual labor with some skill and unions don't seem to work as well for non-factory/hospital/plant jobs.
With ray casting engines for each column of pixels you cast a ray and collide it against world geometry to see what it hit and where.

With this engine, and most modern 3d engines you apply a transform to 3d world space points to get a screen space point. You also need to sort objects by distance or use a z buffer.
Remote-first SaaS products boom as workers stay home
Oh wow so that's worse than I had heard - not just avoid AWS but also force suppliers off of AWS.

Yeah, I wonder how retailers are going to feel about amazon having a direct pipeline of purchase data at all their competitors fed directly to a division of the company that I'm sure they'll claim is sealed off from the rest of operations. Even if amazon is playing totally fairly here, I don't see why it makes sense for people to trust them with so much at risk
In the UK, many shop floor staff in supermarkets work part-time and it's been designed that way to exploit the benefit system. Very few traditional 40 hour week jobs are actually available but lots at 16 hours or so with lots of unfilled vacancies.
From what I see that seems not to be the case. Reloading code in REPLs in Lisp is widely used.

I just tell them I don't want the receipt. Then they either don't print it, or dispose of it for me.
Gotta eat. Some kind of shopping is essentially non-optional unless you grow all your food.

And using cash isn’t opting out of real-life shopping, it’s just opting out of one payment method.

>It's far more arrogant to assume you're the odd one out.

I didn't say you should assume that either. You shouldn't assume either one until you have some reason to do so.

>A physicist won't be able to disprove the suggestion that gravity will only exist for as long as the Invisible Pink Unicorn wills it to exist. So what?

If I had some way of knowing which people are conscious, and I observed that everyone currently living and everyone in the past was always conscious, then it would indeed be silly for me to suggest that tomorrow many non-conscious people will be born --- as silly as your Invisible Pink Unicorn example. But the fact is, I do NOT know that anyone other than myself is conscious. I assume they are for the sake of adjudicating ethical dilemmas, but I only actually have that empirical data for myself.

>We can temporarily shut [consciousness] down with anaesthetics, and see the diminished activity in parts of the brain.

Here you seem to be assuming consciousness is identified with certain brain activities, but that's begging the question. For example, that would rule out computer simulations from being conscious, since you couldn't detect said brain activity in said computer. But it's far from settled whether or not consciousness is impossible in a computer simulation, in fact, many people think it IS possible. So unless you know something a lot of experts don't know, there isn't enough evidence to equate consciousness with certain brain activity.
It's honestly a pretty good application of "trust but verify."

Why is there so much general confidence warmer temps will reduce spread? Is it really warm temps = more daylight = more UV bouncing around breaking up virus particles in the air? Does it make any difference at all for the majority of folks who spend almost all waking hours inside?

This is politics, not medicine. The opinions of medical personnel are irrelevant. Moreover I'm not sure why you'd continue to trust these "official" medical sources when they've shown (CDC and WHO) to be incompetent and possibly corrupt.

>Advising people to stockpile food this early is sure to make the situation even worse.

Completely agree. Telling everyone to go out and stockpile food is just the sort of dangerous, panic inducing rhetoric we don't need right now. Follow recommendations of professionals. No large gatherings, etc. But there is no need to panic. And certainly no need to tell people to behave in a manner consistent with panicked people.

> When I've used to Amazon Go store,

My receipt was in the app shortly after (I walked about two blocks and checked). I think it took longer for an email to show up, but can't recall exactly
On the whole, I agree with your sentiment.

I think the one difference is that despite the 1850s UK having (some) protectionism and (loads of) imperialism, they didn't have massive bureaucracies forbidding everyone from doing everything without permission.

This is not actually a problem of technology but of governance. And we should keep in mind that this kind of improvement would make retail workers much more productive as well as the industry more sustainable.
It did the trick. Everyone is talking about it and my friends are buying.
I hate the no people future, therefore, I hate this service. Unfortunately for me, that means nothing.

I see this service taking over, at the very least, a large percentage of the 7/11 bodega type of stores. I see a future where the corner store will return. Over the last few years, companies have gone large so they can take advantage of the economy of scale. This service will reduce labor costs and have costs fall relative to similar stores previously.

Pundits were talking about Amazon opening stores with this tech. Why bother when you can get someone else to do it while expanding your core business. Imagine this, a one-man store where I order my inventory from Amazon and have it delivered daily or close to that. They brought their multivendor Amazon model where anyone can sell online using their online tech to the real world. This is a case of most retailers playing checkers while Amazon is playing chess. Yikes.
This was our 'repeat rental' growing up. My whole family loved watching this together.
I actually like this idea[0]. I have a couple of tweaks I'd like to see.

I'd like to walk in, swipe my CC and get a QR code printout. At any point, I should be able to scan the QR code with my phone and see a receipt showing what I have in my cart and how much it will cost me as well as my status (in/out of the store). Once I leave the store, I should be able to scan the QR and get my final receipt. If there's an issue, I can turn right around and get it resolved.

I don't want to have to deal with going to a kiosk unless I need help.

Also, I don't like that this is an Amazon thing.

[0] As an option. I don't want this to be the way of the future.
I think people understand the basics of COVID-19 well. What they don't realize are how many "sick" people are around them. See also the health care debate over "pre-existing" conditions. Until you have one, or have a family member with one, you're pretty clueless.

Autoimmune diseases are under diagnosed, but some estimates say it's more than 1% of the population. That's roughly 3.3 million Americans that may be taking medications that reduce the efficacy of their immune system.

TLDR; Don't assume everyone is healthy / carries the same risk, even if they look healthy.

Edit: Fixed my math.
You're right that we should not panic, but start doing the easy things right away to slow the spread.

You won't be able to set a breakpoint inside native code: the JVM itself, and any JNI libraries it loads (assuming they too are signed the same way) are off limits.

If you exclude hybrids, 99.999% of EVs don't have gearboxes (unless you count single-speed ones), despite media labelling them as "automatic".

I wonder if it would be possible to integrate payment into the mobile apps they've already got in place, thereby meaning that the only time you'd need to go to the checkout at all would be if you were buying restricted goods (e.g. age limited, or items with security tags) - the risks would seem then to be tracking whether someone had paid. Maybe have a QR code shown on screen which security staff can scan if they're suspicious, giving a list of what items were purchased?
Impressive, a gene analysis shows that SARS-Cov2 is the first known SARS virus that has genes for docking at furin activation sites. And furin sites are not only in the lungs, but also in the liver and small intestines. This may explain why there are actual cases with liver failures.

I'm not on board with the idea of distinguishing between speech and "reach." Forcing everybody to exercise their free speech in isolated 3'x3' cells would be functionally identical to silencing them, but you could use this same distinction to argue that you were only ensuring that they didn't have a platform.

One of the purposes of free speech is to make it possible to say things about authorities that holds them accountable and makes them uncomfortable. If the authorities had the ability to limit your "reach," they would use it to silence you in exactly the same way and to the exact same end as if they could silence your "free speech."
Being in a regulated environment with lots of peoples money should make it harder and take longer to redesign and implement anything. I don’t see a complete redesign of a non-trivial part of a trading platform happening in a week.

Hi Rodrigo!

Just wanted to add... Dwitter is awesome for learning stuff like this, since everything is so absurdly small you know the ceiling of time required for understanding a dweet is pretty low - yet at the same time it's surprising how advanced techniques can get in this tiny space.

This makes them so tempting. I sometimes struggle to pick up or return to a technical book when work/life etc gets busy, but when someone posts an interesting new dweet I often can't stop myself from pulling it to pieces.
One thing I did to combat this was refuse to allow any recurring meetings on Fridays. I almost always end up with a couple of one-offs but I can usually put those at the start of the day. Typically this results in 6+ hours of uninterrupted time on Friday.

The rest of my week is a fragmented disaster but at least Fridays are nice.
Bottom line: You have come into contact with coronavirus - the government asks you to self-isolate at home. Do you? Or do you go off to your favourite bar?
We've gotten off track. I was referring to my interactions with people IRL and the joke about "throttling" was just playing of the parent comment. I'm not actually considering violence, just sick of people telling me "it's no big deal" when for me, it's a VERY big deal.
Performance depending on your use case. APL/J/K can be very fast for an interpreted language, but they won't beat C, C++, Fortran, and Java in most cases.

Also, think about distribution. With most of the array languages, it is commercial, so I'd be cautious about building a business around it. With other languages, it is free to use and deploy as you see fit and some have binary executables that don't need a runtime. K is very expensive. Dyalog APL is pretty reasonable, but still costs money to use and royalties in certain situations.

I think any decent developer can pickup array languages, but many won't want to as they'd rather have something more mainstream (Java, JS, C++, Python...etc) on their resume. So it might be difficult to hire.
This isn't just a Facebook/Twitter thing. A person on MSNBC just said that 20% of the US will die from this virus. Why would you say that? No stat backs that up.
Yes but it's a tragedy of the commons / prisoner's dilemma issue. If your store employs 1% of the people in a given area, and therefore also 1% of your customers, you can't prevent the other 99% from laying off their own workforce and affecting you, unless you collude with them somehow. On the other hand, increasing your workers' pay will give you no meaningful sales benefit as it can at most affect that 1%.
Compared to what? Sure, it was awful compared to working at Google with unlimited snacks and all of that. Compared to being a peasant subsistence farmer, it wasn't so bad.
> England went on to be far wealthier and provide far more opportunities to its people after the industrial revolution

To compare this to the Industrial Revolution is just wrong. Period. Just as comparing today to the Gilded Age is wrong. Those were period of massive productivity growth (and also wage growth) despite being periods of high inequality.

On the contrary, we are in an age of tiny productivity growth and almost no wage growth. We have been through a decade with basically zero interest rates (or negative interest rates in parts of the world). To say, we've been through this before and we are all going to be better off for it, is just not true.

Its a screen displaying a protein. One approach to the vaccine is by looking at it as a protein folding problem. They're trying to find a protein that can bind to the 'spike' of the corona-virus and prevent it from attaching to our cells.
I not sure that is the only thing we need to do. For instance, Trump regularly threatens violence on twitter and doesn't get banned. So perhaps they have a conservative bias. Using your sort of puerile logic, anyway.

> The length limitation makes proper discussions hard.

Twitter has the exact same problem, if not worse, than TV had since ever: In order to be heard, your statement must fit in a soundbite, but nothing except very simple statements can fit. This is why everything is either reinforcing the status quo or rejecting something outright without qualification, leading to apparent polarization and radicalization: The medium itself enforces it.

If the danger is real but not world ending, then stopping the cattle from stampeding is the appropriate priority.

Because the cattle stampeding can actually be world ending. Particularly for the trampled cattle who were likely in little danger from the start.
The official recommendations are insufficient and are more concerned with optics than actual public health. The US is a great example of this, where the official infection numbers are quite low, because only a small fraction of suspected cases are getting tested.
The idea of selecting the 25 features based on maximum correlation seems to be weak because it should introduce a lot of collinearity. In chapter 6 of the ISLR book there are many methods to work in high dimension, that is when number of features is bigger than number of samples. For example principal components regression, partial least squares, the lasso, ridge regression, forward stepwise selection and PCL. All of those methods can be used with 10 or so lines of R using the packages and examples described in the ISLR book, lab in chapter 6.
My interactions have been in person. Even friends and family who know I have a compromised immune system seem to "forget in the moment". It's baffling.
I would guess even in these amazon stores you'll have the option to print a paper receipt right away.

There are probably laws requiring it in some places round the world, there are probably customers who want it, it speeds up the process by not requiring an email address to be typed in, and the total cost of a receipt printer is tiny.
Currently only 6% down, perhaps (anecdotal) evidence that halts work?

I believe so. Before my daughter was born, I thought I knew what to expect. I was very wrong, but not in the things I thought I might be. A lot of minutiae of parenthood caught me by surprise - and ended up explaining mysteries like suddenly starting to enjoy the office.
Genuine question: They can just do that ? Issue a trading halt because they don't like the direction it's going ?

In the United States taxes are not included on the sticker price. As a result adding up the total price of a purchase can be tricky.

However, I don't think this technology will be used extensively by people who purchase a large quantity of products at a time. Instead, this will be catered to the times when someone needs to pick up 5 or less things at a store. In this instance, these customers are not typically price-sensitive about what they need.
Good to know that the guy worth $5 Billion will have time to bail financially unscathed.
It absolutely is not the definition of a strawman.

Reading between the lines of marketing (or any text, really) is an important element of critical thinking. There's no rule that says I have to only talk about what your commercial wants me to talk about.

Are you really suggesting we should just uncritically nod along with whatever facile ideas are fed to us by an advert? <-- (Psst...this is actually a strawman)

In the US you can run a business as a sole proprietorship. Sign up for Stripe and start selling subscriptions to test things out.

You should probably check in to sales tax in the US and Europe that you might be responsible for. Checkout TaxJar. In the beginning this is less critical as most have minimums that apply, but worth checking in to.

Once you have revenue you can form an LLC or other entity.

See, the beauty of the solution suggested is that no one has to write any PHP (You could probably avoid even seeing any, if that's your goal).

Wordpress does what is required out of the box.

In fact, you don't even require a developer to do it. It's a point and click operation of selecting a theme, installing a cache add-on, add an SEO add-on, and hell, there's probably a "office hours" plugin as well.

If the receptionist isn't a technophobe s/he can probably do it themselves.

If you want to assign resources, get a designer in to make it look pretty. Wordpress has everything else covered.

To be honest , the market was in dire need for correction, BUT wonder where we will be when companies starts reporting their quarterly results and impact of that.

So far this looked more like a correction than a precursor to the recession. To make things worse, OPEC dropped bombs which spread the wildfire further..
