The advice we get from Y Combinator (which I think is extremely valid) is to focus on our product and customers, because that's ultimately what investors are going to look at. Fundraising is distracting, emotionally draining, and unproductive if you don't have those. If you're spending half your time during the program fundraising, that's half the time not spent on more important tasks
I certainly see no problem with making it easier for a would be innovator/destroyer to do their homework by making such justifications readily available.

But yes, the intention here is really to communicate the importance of a certain mindset.
There is certainly a push to use websites and infrastructure hosted in China. As it's no surprise a number of non-China popular websites don't even resolve properly from a DNS perspective there. So for most of the population the sites just don't exist.
That's correct. TornadoVM specializes the OpenCL code depending on the target device to increase performance. Also, as you pointed out, it supports some objects through the partial escape analysis by applying scalar replacements.

Also, TornadoVM supports method calls and invitations to native code (e.g., Math library). The examples in the presentations are for simplicity but we have some use cases, such as KFusion Kinet with ~7k lines of Java code for computer vision (https://github.com/beehive-lab/kfusion-tornadovm).
What the original poster means is that if I go JSON.parse(...) then how does that know to give me an object with a Date type instead of a Number? Answer: It can't.

This is a frequent gotcha with Typescript, where even if your type is declared with a Date field, Javascript won't care when it deserializes it, as that type information is all erased and not available at runtime.

(Also, Number in JS being floating point and all, it lacks the integer precision for high resolution timestamps - if you start serialising 64 bit timestamps and expect a JS-style runtime to do good things with them it doesn't end well.)
yes, but it seems like that strict of measures are necessary to bring it rapidly to heel. Different countries can go different ways (japan and skorea doing nicely just keeping the curve nice and flat so far) but US has no socialized anything, poor federal govt response so far, inability of people to take time off work etc...not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying that if we're gonna have a nice little quantitative lesson in a year of which societies responded well and which ones didn't, I'm kinda pissed to be in the "don't be them" experimental group
You think voluntarily trying to ride it out at home instead of using up a hospital bed which could well be used by someone who needs it more urgently is bad behaviour for the herd?

Joe Rogan Experience #1439 with Michael Osterholm
When they introduced it, they called the video "Autopilot: Tesla Self-Driving Demonstration" and it opened with a disclaimer that said "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself."

That's the buyer expectation for the word "autopilot" that I was referring to.

EDIT: Apparently, the sensor package is still called "self-driving hardware", which I'm sure creates a certain expectation if you purchase the "self-driving hardware & autopilot software" bundle.
That's very unlikely, but it did end flu season early in Hong Kong.

Why drive when you can live where the action is?
Presumably they mean Tesla have spent $20B on laying cement for new factories, filling them with robots, buying computers, building paint shops, flying managers to China, etc. All that activity has an environmental impact.

It's a reasonable point, our economy is energy based and so the more you spend the bigger the environmental impact. We are trying to decouple it but we have a long way to go yet.
We tend sticking them at the bottom of the keyboard, so it's obviously more secure ;)
I don't think the city expects anyone to invent a new reactor type or such for that funding. If you have developed something, Helsinki just hopes to see it here sooner than later: "We invite innovators from all around the world to use Helsinki as a testbed for truly sustainable solutions for urban heating."
Nice thought, but we would also have to quarantine all other mammals. Maybe birds and reptiles too just to be on the safe side.

I was curious for use in an agency, where the clients share credentials with the agency. Multiple clients to a single agency account may get cluttered.

I will have to map out the use case specifically and see which plan works best. Perhaps a bunch of family plans would work for multi to multi scenario, where the agency would also maintain client-specific multiple accounts..
How much of an IT provider is IBM today? They certainly don't produce hardware anymore.

I thought IBM is mostly a consultant company now and the goal of a consultant company is to make money.

Considering that I don't think IBM and Oracle would be on the same page on who they regard as enemy.
It's a 1M prize, not the money allocated to implementing whatever change is proposed.

If Helsinki comes up with a plan, within a year, at the cost of 1M, to decarbonize their city's heating and then takes 5-10 years to implement the plan, they will be carbon neutral within 6-11 years. Pretty good, right?

What's your plan?

You do a procedure called "re-import" to optimize taxes. With that, my sister bought her almost fully upgraded 7-seat Dacia minivan for roughly €10k.

That makes sense. Cheers.
I know I will be downvoted, but I don't care: why are people using Twitter? To me it's the most vile and disgusting platform: no signal, just noise. On top of that, the people that run it are effectively coming up with arbitrary progressive left-wing policies on restricting free speech: for proof, watch this: https://youtu.be/DZCBRHOg3PQ after seeing I realised Twitter/Facebook/Google/Apple are evil corporations taking away your freedom with you cheering to it. Why are you using Twitter's platform? For business? Do you want to make business from Twitter's users which are mind-numbed angry, twitching zombies? Are there no business opportunities elsewhere? Anyone who is doing any sort of business related to social media is wasting their time: it's a broken system that deserves to be boycotted. To anyone who would call me angry: I am saying this so you open your mind about the pointlessness of social media: I dont use it, and I seem to live a nice life, only time I get angry is when I think about social media, like in this post. Oh well, this is HN after all, born and bred in silicon valley where such blasphemy will not be tolerated. But lets see.
It's interesting to think of evo-psych as essentially the discipline of trying to explain the underlying rationale for the "chesterton fences" within our own subconscious/preconscious behaviors.
You are missing the point of credit cards vs long term loans.

> The main reason people don't use credit cards to buy houses now is due to the credit limit.

suppose you want to buy a $500k home. You go to a bank and they offer you 30 years at, say 3.5%.

You go to your credit card provider and somehow get a $500k limit. Your payments looks something like 1 (one) month at 0% or as long as it takes (based on minimum payment) at 16.99%.

Which do you choose?

If you think you can change the economics of the credit card to be closer to the bank, you will end up with many of the same overheads that the bank has, and you will no longer be a credit card. I.e., you will not provide near instantaneous access to a line of credit.

Yes, Apple made a lot of noise about the original lineup being simple because that was all they had. Commercial pressures will always lead to lots of choices because that's how the company extracts the most value it can from each customer.

Not only that, but these intensive care beds need to be isolated. Ever been to an ICU? Isolation is not a thing. We can't just go in and tape a bunch of plastic drapes to the walls/ceilings/floors and make these ICU beds isolated. 400 ICU beds is to a first approximation zero isolated ICU beds.
It's still mostly contained (most cases are connected to existing clusters) but the government is foreshadowing that containment is becoming a major problem without being able to rely on geographic travel screening. Many imported cases (UK, Italy, Thailand) in the last few days.

The curve is still very much bent when we look at how early this started in the country and it will continue to be flatter than in any place not putting distancing and testing in place on time

>To reemphasize: the president fired the chain of command for handling pandemics and did not replace them

There's a reason the Snopes piece is mostly based off a Twitter thread. If you actually read the NBC News and Washington Post articles the Snopes piece cites later, they describe the action as part of moving people to related departments as part of the new National Security Advisor's desire to restructure the hierarchy, and the head of the dedicated team resigning after not getting his desire to keep the team the way it was. Not "fired the chain of command".

COVID19 was not a surprise; that is, it was known to exist in China some time before the first cases appeared in the US. It is not unreasonable for a government to assemble a team to respond to something like a pandemic as needed, as opposed to having people dedicated solely to the purpose and nothing else.

You may or may not agree with this. But please don't claim that this is somehow prima facie proof of the Trump administration's malfeasance/evilness.
> headed to mitigation

Not for long, as this approach will clearly appear to be a disaster when mortality rates exceed 5% because of a lack of ICU care to handle the thousands of severe cases. The response will be swift, but two weeks too late.
In other words it's following a logistics curve. This is what every pandemic does: the problem is that we can't know when the inflection point is. Sometimes it's quite early on, and sometimes it isn't. Plan for the latter, hope for the former.
Requiring uncomfortable footwear is the problem, not the walk. I'd take the walking meeting as an excuse to ditch the heels. It's entirely possible to find good-looking shoes that have low heels and are comfortable to walk in.
strapi is a very good tool. but I don't think most of its features are suitable for production. it seems to be progressing in a continuous experimental state.
Transporting an intubated patient hundreds of miles to an area not experiencing an outbreak and having a hospital equipped to deal with same is not a trivial task. Moreover, these numbers of ICU beds bandied about are meaningless. Zero, or close to, of those ICU beds are isolated (infection control).

If you actually read the NBC News and Washington Post articles the Snopes piece cites later, they describe the action as part of moving people to related departments as part of the new National Security Advisor's desire to have his own hierarchy, and the head of the dedicated team resigning after not getting his desire to keep the team the way it was.

Your mileage obviously varies, but in my opinion we (privileged "tech" people) need to look beyond just our own personal selfish gains. Yes, earning more money feels good. Yes, the idea that your successful salary negotiation made Jeff Bezos/Mark Zuckerberg/Bill Gates less disgustingly rich feels good. But at the same time we should look at the bigger picture.
