On the contrary, universities as a whole are much older than modern capitalism.

But anyway, I'm not interested in having a normative discussion as to whether there should be separate laws governing institutions of learning. The fact of the matter is that there are, and have been for a very long time, and that doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon. I'm not the one that made it that way and I don't care enough to argue it with you.
I think some of us miss that step in growing up where you're supposed to realize you can own lots of shoes for occasions other than fashion. You can have some that are fit for only one activity or used in one location (eg, the gym or exercise class).

Keeping a spare pair of shoes at work would solve this problem.
Nobody cares what you were thinking about. This whole thread is based on the author's decision to insert a push for single-payer healthcare into an article about the outbreak. And the point is that a general agreement that healthcare should be improved doesn't justify pushing a particular, partisan solution in this context. That applies whether you would push for single-payer, medicare for all, or a true free market.
Those competitors can sell cars with the same rebate as Tesla though.
WTF are you talking about? This is not my opinion. This is plain fact: https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/questions-... . Now, you might not agree with this policy/protocol. That's fine. I'm not sure I do either (although I do think that neither you nor I are in a better position to judge than they are on how much testing capacity they have). What I was saying (and I was very careful to phrase it that way) is that she's being treated according to current protocol. And my "treated as she should be" (great job on your selective quoting) referred to exactly that.
It's my impression that that is generally by design, because they are supposed to enable selective enforcement.

Indeed. I'm quite certain, for example, that if someone called ESR a toxic lunatic, no code of conduct violation would be found.
In Boston, I don't know. But Seattle for sure is crossing the threshold where Milan was 10-15 days ago, and there's no reason to expect things will evolve differently. These, literally, are the last days of calm before things start to blow up in the US too.
We have not seen the impact of the virus and most people do not have a sense of how fast it can spread.

We have not seen the impact it has on hospitals. People will start to get scared once they see the hospitals getting full and the care workers starting to burnout, given the 10+% hospitalization rate. Unfortunately by that time most of us will be forced to stay home.

Look at what is happening in Italy. Only after they were forced to stay home have they finally taken the situation seriously.

The CDC has said that most of us will eventually get it. We just hope we don't all get it so fast that the hospital system is overwhelmed.

Molecule Attention Transformer (Deep Learning Paper Explained)
Cloud providers already offer full blades, though they're quite expensive. I could imagine vendors commissioning custom hardware that electrically isolates CPU cores and caches, like a sort of hyper MMU. The challenge lies in combining these "nodelets" together dynamically to make larger VM skus when needed without compromising security when they're supposed to be isolated. Plus you'd have to design a ton of new hardware which isn't cheap.

Clouds will probably stick with traditional server blades until transient attacks are found which simply can't be defeated, even with new silicon. Even replacing entire DCs worth of blades would be cheaper than reworking the fundamental hardware.

(I have no inside knowledge, my opinions are my own.)
I worked in/led remote teams for around 8 years. Initial first few weeks are weird, then everybody hops on asynchronous communication (you can use phones/iPads whenever face2face is needed), people can take a walk in a park/forest to get fresh ideas (e.g. problems that took a week to resolve in the office took 2 hours while walking outside and refocusing brain). It's just too few companies are willing to take that "leap of faith". Some of my most memorable experiences were programming for two months in a cottage overlooking Pu`uhonua O Hōnaunau on Hawai`i - that made me superbly productive, happy and driven - I would absolutely recommend/wish everybody to experience the same.

I am telling you --from experience, not theory-- that many lawyers are resistant to time-saving tools. Not all of them, but many of them. They rarely voice out-loud that their concern is about reduced billables, and will instead make absurd arguments that the time-saving tools decrease quality.

Simple real life example: we were selling a very simple bulk download tool to a law firm. Instead of clicking a link and downloading a document many times, this tool would download many in batch and put them in a zip folder. They raised the objection saying "how do we know it downloaded everything", even though the zip file also had an excel listing all the documents that were downloaded, the source of where they came from, and any errors in downloading them.
Tesla is no longer a novelty. They just manufactured the millionth car. I own a model 3 and people ask me how do I like it. My usual answer is that I have "no compelling reason" to buy an ICE car - ever. Despite all the free marketing that Tesla gets, I don't think people grok how good the car actually drives in real. You really need to experience living with it to appreciate why it's a game changer.

Another great post! I'm curious what people would suggest as a tech stack that's not python/gunicorn. Something with a GC, decent ORM, that can replace database-backed services written in Python with similar high level code.
It's probably never been a strict superset really.
Please try not to escalate unnecessarily, be it in this post or this health crisis.

I don't detect any disrespect or lack of empathy. It's acknowledgement of the seriousness of the situation combined with concern for secondary adverse effect on their experience/career.
Understandable. Thank you for explaining the mechanics.

Yeah, the point is there's a wealth of options for food within a an easy hour round trip of walking (not just specifically the one Target). And a lot more if you have access to a bike. People are not going to starve to death when the alternative is walking 15 minutes to a grocery store. Let's be real. Downtown Cambridge is NOT some food desert like what exists in other parts of the US, where you could walk for hours and not reach the nearest grocery store (this is particularly prevalent in rural areas).

Ok so without taking away from this library, what's wrong with using a fully binary format of your own? No string parsing, no nonsense, just binary data. It seems like people are becoming afraid of plain binary, and I don't understand why. It's so easy, plain binary is very small, and is extremely easy to parse when compared to anything with text in it, especially if you have to support multiple encodings.

1.) Decide upon a binary format.

2.) Use it.

No 3rd party libraries required; you could write writer or reader code for a Commodore 64, if you had to.

Keep it simple. I suspect any simple "type-length-value" type of binary file format would be written or read at least as quickly as this, without third party code.
You think it's more of a game changer than the $8500 used Nissan Leaf I bought (which, before you start, is perfect for me because I use it around town, and yes it works fine for 95+% of my car trips, including 100% of my commuting miles)?

I'll tell you something. I'm sure enjoying having that extra $60k in my bank account that I saved by not buying a horribly overpriced depreciating asset.
"Massachusetts was one of the first states to attempt universal health care coverage. They also have some genuinely fantastic research hospitals."

shrug. The position you need to defend, the matter under discussion, in this case is: how does that relate to them being better equipped to deal with this specific virus/outbreak/pandemic/situation?

uMatrix tries to do this already with some third party scripts, but it’s a moving target.
I'm guessing part of the rationale is that there is no way to contain this in the US. It's going to go around. But, spreading it out in time and space will reduce the chance that local health infrastructure will become saturated, resulting in more deaths. Basically hospital load-balancing.

I am not sure how one determines "risk" (?) with this asymptomatically contagious disease that lingers on surfaces and can travel in aerosal form a few meters.

The people at "risk" are the older generation [the parents ..], and movement of people contributes to spreading of the disease.

I think MIT is just off loading hot potatoes here.
Productivity is only a compelling argument if employees keep working the same hours, which they shouldn't unless they get paid more: producing more without any more salary is just another way of working for free. And while remote work has its upsides, it has its downsides too: loneliness is one that I've experienced myself and heard other colleagues mention.
All upcoming electric cars seem to follow that route. It just took them a while to catch up. The Audi e-tron and Mercedes EQC are recently released SUVs that are hardly distinguishable from their combustion engine counterparts. The upcoming BMW i4 is essentially an electric 4 class sedan with >350 miles of range.
As a citizen you can do many things.

But when whole populations need to act in a concerted way, a centralized decision-making mechanism is required. Everything else is naive dreaming.
Company offers 1,600 euros to be voluntarily infected with coronavirus
I had a play with something similar and I noticed that -- at least for my use case -- you can get ~90% of the gains through just a couple of simple tricks:

1) Identify medium-scale similarity boundaries in the data structures. E.g.: a sequence of messages in a protocol, such as a C "struct" with a bunch of fields.

2) Compute the binary difference between these structures so that most of the subsequent bytes after the first message are either zeroes or small numbers. Both the sender and receiver have to keep the previous message in a buffer to allow this.

3) Use a high-performance compression algorithm that supports "user provided dictionaries", such as Zstandard. Train it with sample data.

This above is surprisingly straightforward because it doesn't require complex changes to the underlying data structures. You don't even necessarily need to be able to parse it at all, as long as it has large-scale repeating structures that you can identify.
The ITC tax credit for solar and storage, the EV tax credit, and the electric vehicle charging station credit all existed before Tesla (and all other solar, storage, and vehicle manufacturers are eligible for these credits, not just Tesla, you just have to build the product). Tesla did lobby for vehicle manufacturers to be allowed to sell directly to consumers, which I cannot see any reason that shouldn't be allowed in a free market. Can you prove they lobbied for these policies?

A Nissan Leaf is a glorified golf cart with an air cooled battery that has no longevity and no fast charge network. There is a reason they are so cheap used. It is not a realistic competitor to an internal combustion vehicle, such that a Model 3, Y, S, or X is. That is why Tesla is successful and has sold their millionth car, and is running at a 400k unit/year run rate (based on Fremont and Gigafactory 3 production data). There is no need for Tesla to meet unrealistic expectations such as your example ("I'm quite happy with my used Nissan Leaf. Price? $8500. Let's see Tesla beat that.") when there is an entire worldwide auto market with consumers ready to pay top dollar for the cars Tesla builds (in the US, average sales prices of a new car in the US is $35K and 17 million cars a year are sold), and Tesla commands roughly 1/3rd of the Chinese EV market as of February 2020.

You go back and find out from context that code was there to fix a bug or implement a requirement that no longer exists, you remove the code. You find out the person just liked to write code this way, you remove the code.

You find out that it was to solve a problem on FreeBSD or old Docker versions or for your biggest customer, you leave the code, or reimplement the fix.

Nobody will remember why they did something, but you can often figure it out from the shape of the commit and its siblings.

The same thing is happening to traditional automobile manufacturers now as what happened to the likes of Kodak and Xerox when the digital revolution came. They'll deny that the change is happening until it's way too late, and then become obsolete. Even when any outsider can look at the industry and say it's obvious that the future is electric and any manufacturer that hasn't already seriously dived into making EVs is being stupid.

And yet, here we are ...

Destroying humanity would probably also disrupt society, just a thought
FWIW, in the past I financially subsidized all of the costs of a clinic that served undocumented migrants (aka illegal aliens).

They caught and treated countless cases of Tuberculosis and even Cholera, which stopped epidemics in the community.

It's complete and totally psychotic madness, counterproductive, and will lead to the fall of society, to deny basic medical care particularly for epidemiological conditions to "illegal aliens". Societies that do so rightly fall.

I'm totally willing to accept and concede this woman is an "illegal alien", has no right to be in the Netherlands, is a criminal, etc. Maybe she is maybe not but let's get the bullshit out of the way and say she is for the sake of argument.

Should people like this be treated and tested for virulent plagues they reasonably might have or not? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so? The advantages of treating plague victims seem clear, let's tighten this up and you explain to me how citizens of the Netherlands benefit by denying simple and basic treatment of plague illnesses to people because of their status as an alleged criminal or not.
In this article, Vicky Graham and David McLaughlin describe Section 230 as:
"legal shield enjoyed by companies such as Google and Facebook". This is disingenuous, at best.

Section 230 does 2 simple things. It says platforms aren't liable for what users post there. In other words, users themselves are liable for what they do.

Second, it gives platforms the ability to take down harmful content w/o risk of legal threat.

These two things protect every small blog w/ comments and every fledgling social platform. It's the law most responsible for allowing the internet to flourish, by helping small content creators operate w/o the threat of unearned liability.

What Section 230 does not do is act as shield for criminal activity. The feds are not hampered in any way from perusing legal action against site operators who commit a crime.

Damage to Section 230 will exclusively harm not-huge tech companies because that damage will allow courts & Govs to punish small/med operators - not for what they do but for what their users do.

Like most reporters covering Section 230 stories, Vicky Graham and David McLaughlin appear to be clueless that eroding Section 230 won't harm Google or Facebook in the slightest. Only the largest tech firms have the massive resources to ride out what follows if Section 230 is pruned away or is killed altogether.

The other issue here is that the purpose of the EARN IT act is to render encryption meaningfully insecure (via backdoors), so that Gov/LEO can break it on a whim.

Lastly, notice how the reporters here just parrot what was told to them. They don't try at all to vet or analyze what they're publishing. It's stenography.

It's unlikely you can write a serializer/unserializer that is faster than what we already have. And bug-free on complex objects.

Started to dig into the implementation. First impressions so far: loving all the Rust harness - really nicely done and way better than buildroot/yocto/etc for creating tight, single-purpose linux images. Speaking of tight, here comes the bad news: really NOT loving all the over-engineered upstream components like D-Bus and systemd that seem to be there by default. In that sense #linuxkit with its Alpine base and strong attention to how bit the image is still comes way on top.

One more thing on the good side: the TUF implementation in Rust seems really interesting. I'll be digging some more and may actually steal it for linuxkit (and by extension Project EVE)

Fun fact: a lot of the patches you will find in more system level packages like grub seems to trace their lineage to CoreOS (and potentially Project EVE) but I haven't seen acknowledgments anywhere. This is of course all fine from licensing perspective -- but I still would be curious to know whether it is indeed where it was taken from.

I rather consider Wuhan to be the textbook case of a mass-panic in the face of an unknown virus. What I am primarily concerned about is the people's reaction and the economic effects which seem unprecedented (at least in recent decades). This has a much larger impact than the virus itself. Why is the effect so big compared to other pandemics? Is it because of the way infections and deaths are tracked (which might have some influence on the initial perception)? Is it social media and its newly-gained influence on policy? Or because it primarily affects aged population, which makes up a large share of the influential electorate and policy makers?

We will see how this entire issue will be treated in a year. I presume that even if it still prevalent, it will normalize in the eyes of the public and everyone will move on with their lives. And that point we will also have corrected and more accurate numbers and statistics, just like with every other outbreak.
The correct axis to consider this question along is "hostile work environment".

Do you mean just opening a port and listening for connections? And a client which connects to that port and sends/receives data? That's not very low level and it's pretty easy to do, if I'm understanding you correctly.
Communication. The new guy joining your team can be immediately productive with JSON, protobuf, etc, but will take some time to understand the homegrown format. Also much more error prone. Most teams don't want to be writing binary encoders and decoders as that's not where their expertise lies, and would much rather focus their time on business features.
