Market caps are meaningless, and there you are again claiming ten years isn't long enough to be shown useful.

It is, it really is.

There's no reason to think it's anything like the internet in terms of use or adoption.

The dogmatic mantra at this point is on the side of the enthusiasts, who have shouted at us for ten years that blockchains are going to change the world, but have done no such thing.

To criticise people for lack of vision after a ten year history of scam and failure after scam and failure is looking a lot like denial.

It's also the rare case where you can't accept a 5% performance hit because that's 5fps in a game or 5 seconds on a 100 second render time or 5ms instead of 95ms wait in an interactive app.

I find that the key to running desktop OS/apps is never use sensitive data and always be ready to wipe your machine and start over.
My experience is that certain types of meetings work really great this way whereas others do not. Collaborative 1:1 type meetings or "same side of the table" meetings where you need creative thinking to work through some complex issue really shine as walking meetings. Where there are concrete points you're trying to get across or in general more "information sharing" type meetings tend not to be so great in this format or at least they definitely need a followup email to ensure everyone understands the takeaways and actions expected.

I used to do many/most 1:1s as walks but I found that if you have a serious piece of feedback to deliver etc it's often not as good on a walk and if you always do a walk and then send an email saying "let's do it in the office today" it sends a signal which makes people immediately defensive.

Separately I'm a very rigorous note-taker (using a paper book) and one of the big benefits of walking meetings (from my pov) is that people are not sitting with a laptop and are actually intellectually present at the meeting. I just make sure to recap the actions/takeaways as the very last thing before we wrap. Then it's easy for people to remember them and take them back to the desk with them. You can also send a followup email to ensure you're in 100% sync.
I agree completely. But I think the status quo of just continuing normal school procedures is a potential epidemiological nightmare. We could still provide childcare to those who need it, but in a format that drastically reduces transmission potential.

First, like you very astutely pointed out, stop making school mandatory. Even encourage families to keep kids home if they have childcare available. That probably entails ceasing any academics, since parents will otherwise feel pressured to keep their kids in school lest they fall behind.

Second, we can keep kids isolated in small groups, so they're not intermingling as is typical during a school day. A child should be assigned to a single pod, and only interact with his assigned pod for the remainder of the epidemic. Obviously childcare workers should be assigned a single pod, and stay in that pod. The smaller we can sub-divide pods, the better.

Finally big common activities, like lunch or recess should be staggered so that kids aren't ever exposed to anyone else outside their pods. Other than that pods should stay confined to the same classroom for the duration of the epidemic. Pods should probably be assigned based on busing routes, so that kids only bus with their pod.

The Spanish flu “only” infected about 1/4 or 1/3 of people. Why the higher number for Covid?
Facial and other forms of “recognition” have been in use since the ages... technology just allows this to be at scale and potentially pervasive... especially in settings like airports or cities like London...

I dont know whats going on with those numbers but sales in Norway and Holland are 80-90% down. They stopped with the tax benefits.
In Lombardy, the only region where the situation is critical at the moment, emergency service have NOT shut down. Non urgent procedures are suspended, both to spare doctors and nurses and to avoid creating new emergencies in case those procedures go wrong. ERs are not overwhelmed, ICUs are.

You basically get in real trouble if you need a respirator - they're pretty much out of those and they have to assess your chance of survival to decide if they can tube you.

Interestingly ERs are seeing much less load because people have stopped going there for stupid reasons, because they are afraid of catching COVID-19. All medical stuff is still busting their ass if course, a lot of them have been lended to ICUs, rooms have been repurposed, etc.

This is not to say that the situation isn't bad. It's really bad. And if you think that your country has such a good health care system that it will hold better, you should know that Lombardy hospitals are top notch.

Whatever your age, stop traveling. If there's been a single case in your region, stop risky behaviors now: don't go shopping, have it delivered. Work from home. Don't use public transit. Teach your parents how to shop online and force them to stay home. Don't shake hands and wash them often.
Wow. First world problems much…?
Your example is a mockery of what was claimed, and I think you're being disingenuous.

You're using a generic "disagreement" and "potted plant" rather than "employer tried to improperly fire an employee" and "$36,000 severance for a non-disparagement agreement." I think you're doing this deliberately in order to make the letter of the agreement seem more important than the details of what happened.

My moral calculus is explained clearly here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22533048

If your question is serious, then no, I don't think the immoral one is necessarily the one who broke the final agreement. In certain cases, the one who acted poorly first might be the immoral one. Signing and then breaking an agreement could, in some cases, be a response that is morally justifiable, even if it is illegal, and even if there are legal reprecussions. If the retaliating party takes it too far, then they might be the immoral one.

I'm making no claims about what was or wasn't morally justifiable in this particular story. But I'm shocked that so many people seem to think that a contract is sacred and that a person who breaks one is automatically the immoral party.

The actual circumstances of the situation matter more than whether or not a written agreement is broken. There are times when deciding to break a contract after signing it is morally justifiable. There are even times when signing a contract with the intention of breaking it later might be morally justifiable.

Is it really that difficult for people to come up with a contrived example here? Coercion? Duress? Extreme power imbalances between the signing parties? Implied threats? Lying to get out of a dangerous situation? Do people not even see these things as possibilities? It seems blindingly obvious to me that the circumstances matter.
Yes this is totally correct. I work in a distributed research lab and basically what has happened is there are two labs. Slack was supposed to connect across the atlantic but all it did was show off that one part of the lab has way more going on than the other part.
Thanks, really appreciate the response!

What would you recommend I read / watch / do if I want to learn about technical writing?

P.S I remember that Robert Pirsig, the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a technical writer in his dayjob.
Hi Shimon, this is a very cool direction, something we are working on hard right now too. Talk to us if interested? Ping my coordinator to set up a quick call, his email in my profile. Ask him to include head of dev journey in our call too. Cheers!
A serious question is how can we make microbenchmarks that take this into account? Along the lines of measuring a speedup of an operation, in varying scenarios of cache pressure.
We can compile and run c++ code in a browser with WASM versions of clang, why would it be any issue to compile glsl / any other language to spir-v ? That's already what almost everyone is doing with spirv-cross / shaderconductor on the desktop
Is there a research to back your statement? I always thought that car purchases are highly rational, and even read some compelling research about it (cannot find it right now).

Yes, decision to buy particularly expensive car is very rational, with lot of time, choices and your personal preferences are of course part of it. Old cars do have their merits, and cost premium associated with them is real, economical fact.

Very very little of price of car cannot be explained by market forces at work.

Most Europeans are highly concerned about the climate. If you have the money, then buying a Tesla is not so irrational in that context: they still have the best EVs.

Agree that they're still too expensive for the average consumer to afford, and that the specs on the low-end EV models aren't yet competitive with traditional ICE cars.
The exception in Norway is really only the VAT (25%) which is still a lot. But they will never have the CO2/NOX/cylinder volume tax that the fossils have.

The VAT might come in a year or two but not the pollution tax. And the pollution tax will increase until 2025 when the sale of new fossils will be banned.

However the article claims that the model 3 came in third in all of Europe behind the Golf and Clio, so it's selling well all over Europe not just Norway and the Netherlands. Norway is actually a smallish market now compared to what it used to be in market share for EVs.
Well Musk did recently state that Tesla is soon to release time-based object "3d labeling", where indeed the movement of objects through space is part of their labeling. [1]

The first release of the official Redux+TypeScript template for Create-React-App
Software Engineering has been blessed, over the course of the past several decades, by exponential increases in available resources (Moore’s Law et simila). This has somewhat offset the inherent laziness that the author speaks of in his essay, in that while it requires effort to implement a feature (or an abstraction, is your case), but thereafter the increase in processing power essentially rapidly makes the performance penalty ‘free’. Now that Moore’s Law seems to be slowing down somewhat (though maybe that was just Intel’s monopoly position in CPUs showing, as AMD’s recent releases and the unending growth of GPU and ARM performance suggests), implementing additional features that carry a performance penalty will entail considering the effects of that slowdown in perpetuity, and therefore will be (hopefully) taken into account.

I’m not saying that people will revert to writing assembler onto the metal, but perhaps the whole trend of VMs inside VMs on dockers on compartmentalised OSes will slow down.

> My prediction is that we'll need GPUs with 60+ GB of memory before self-driving becomes more plausible.

Somebody has already linked an article showing that people in these cars are taking their hands off the wheel and playing videogames while 'driving'. These cars are already self-driving by a reasonable standard, and is certainly fairly described as an autopilot system. Your standards aren't normal.
My sister works in car sales. She’s no idiot, but she talks about self driving cars as if it’s all fully developed. Last time I talked with her, she didn’t know about the SAE levels 0-5.

Almost everyone else I talk to outside of software seems to pigeonhole AI as magic — either they’re believers who think it can pass the Turing Test, or they’re non-believers who refuse to accept it can do what is in 2020 the AI equivalent of Hello World.

So no, I don’t think most people do know; rather, I think most people either think it’s impossible or perfect already.
The problem here is that US government wants to "maximize the USA IP interests" and supports Oracle in this case although they haven't studied the implications in details... So we have an "elephant in the porcelain shop" here and this elephant may destroy a lot of things...
Why? Even 200 in a small area, say a ski resort, mountain bike race, or similar seems perfectly reasonable. Sure not 200 people typing as fast as they can, but plenty for the normal chatter I hear over sms. Especially if you keep the messages short and have a latency of a few minutes be acceptable.

Using the family radios (often $30 ish) on hiking trails, parks, amusement parks, etc. I usually hear minimal chatter, just things like "Anyone seen Bob?", "meet at lift #4", "Lunch in 30m?", "Linda stopped to retie her shoes", etc.

Check out js8call if you want to see how to handle 100s of people with very little bandwidth. Sure it's designed for ham radio frequencies and covers 1000s of miles instead of 1000s of feet, but still man portable

A phone, bluetooth sound card, a HF transceiver, and an antenna is all you need. Generally hams are proud when they get better than 1000 miles per watt.

I don't know... you'd need to maintain an over pressure in the living quarters and tiny leaks won't be much of an issue. Lift can be provided by hydrogen blimps, until you get to a balmy 20 C (70 F).

That would help both bleeding off heat and helping with maintaining over-pressure in the living quarters.

Corrosion resistance will be a challenge but not impossible, there are many plastics which will withstand sulfuric acid.

> so I’ll be fine

I hope so, but

- it will kill some number of younger people, even healthy ones.

- it’s also worth considering that we don’t (AFAIK) have a clear picture about potential long-term complications (eg lung damage). We should not simply assume there won’t be these.

I’m saying this to emphasize the seriousness of the situation.

Ask HN: What are best practices to onboard remote employees?
As more and more companies go (or allow) remote, and in the age of Coronavirus, what are some best practices to support a welcoming and effective/productive onboarding of new remote employees?
No they haven't. The macronutrient profile shifts by single digit percentages. The plants produce slightly more carbs and slightly less protein per ounce. But for instance, soy, only experiences a 2% drop. So if you double yields but protein per ounce drops 2%, that is a net win.
It's never reasonable although it doesn't stop people from doing it. History has shown us the folly of this (eg read "When Genius Failed" for a great history of the LTCM collapse). Due to multiple failures, large banks are to a greater or lesser extent prevented from doing this, but smaller financial players do get themselves into trouble.
Transporting a patient that sick requires a specially trained doctor and nurse, ambulance transfers to helipad/airport, an 8 hour+ return trip, and a high likelihood of giving the disease to a bunch of people at the new centre.

If you had all the resources spare to achieve that, you could just keep them probably.
There are tons of Teslas around my area in London. One every Street i would say, about the same level of Porsche.
So, go higher instead, until the temperature is nice.
>nuclear energy

The solution needs to provide district heating for Helsinki. Most citizens and politicians don't want a nuclear plant inside the city. Also the green party loves to screw everyone over by getting in the way of nuclear every step of the way.

>renewable energy

That's difficult in this area. There is very little sunlight in the winter when heating is needed the most, so sunlight is out of the question. The geography is pretty flat, so hydro doesn't provide much. Unlike Iceland, there are no geothermal vents nearby. Wind is probably the best bet, though it's not a particularly windy area.

Humans will adapt. Some might have to switch crops or change locations. Its nature that will suffer.
There are very few resources dedicated to long distance patient transfer at the best of times. If you pulled away regularly ambulance services and somehow equipped them to handle infection control you'd barely be breaking out of the single digits of patient transfers on a good day.
Sure, if the app asks for that permission and you allow it.
All it would do is cause the growing area to expand towards the poles. It would lengthen the growing season in many parts of the world. As for dry / wet conditions, which are variable and shift with oceanic oscillations like the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation, PDO, etc. We have technology to deal with those. Irrigation, desalination, drainage, etc.

The CO2 we emit today used to very much exist in the biosphere. It got trapped underground as an accident of evolution. And then it turned into coal. Plants evolved under conditions with CO2 as much as 10x higher than current levels.

>>Im 34 so I'll be fine

I'm sorry, but that's a stupid assumption to make.

I'm "only" 29 and last year I managed to catch a parvovirus B19 from someone - it's a virus that's relatively common in children, but has very mild symptoms - it's almost unheard of in adults, mostly because you either already have immunity, or there are no symptoms/the symptoms are no worse than a mild cold/flu. Well, except that in about 10% of adults it causes severe response with a high fever that last weeks, with arthretic swelling of joints - and in 10% of those the joint issues don't go away for years. Well, it's been nearly a year now and my knees and other joints are still fucked from the virus, I'm constantly on steroids just to control the inflammation.

So no, this has changed my "I'm young so I'll be fine" outlook on this - the chances are not always in your favour.
That's a modern autopilot, but those mechanisms were already called that when they were far less complex than Tesla's today.

Although it can be argued that with technological progress the meaning of the word has also shifted over time together with the expectations.
In the UK at least, most students live in shared-housing and cook for themselves from supermarket food, the 'dorm' model is usually used for the first year (~10 people sharing a bathroom and kitchen, although some new builds now have ensuite bathrooms), but never a shared room. Usually no cafeteria either (although some do). I can't believe some people are paying tens of thousands of dollars per semester to share a room!
They can for now. I wrote disallowing unsigned exe-files would be the logical next step in "user-protection".
Moving heat 50 miles in a big steam pipe is very much doable with low losses. 50 miles away should be enough to satisfy the vast majority of NIMYists and allow it to be put in a much lower population density area.

Because the flight windows are so far apart, I interpreted it to mean that Vincent, once there, was set. They couldn't really send him back even if they wanted to.

And I read Jeromes suicide as the last act to "cover up" for Vincent (and Jeromes name). What would people say when someone found Jemore, alive or his corpse, in the home on Earth?

The last step was to disappear completely. If I recall correctly we were shown that the incinerator would burn until nothing was left there.
Dunno, I think one of the biggest weakness of various ham related technologies (and yes I have my general) is the assumption that everyone is online all the time. Trying to communicate with a few dozen people is very inefficient with amateur radio in general. It's usually voice, usually assumes everyone is doing nothing but listening, is listening continuously and has perfect reception. God forbid someone is driving, hiking aggressive terrain, or a group of 10 people is online only 60% of the time each.

Most of the cheap ham stuff assumes a perfect repeater already to do the heavy lifting, which is nice when you have it, but very frustrating when you don't.

I do wish that ham or consumer devices supported digital modes, peer to peer, store and forward, push, pull, query, etc. Js8call supports this, so you can do things like ask when someone was last seen, leave messages on 3rd parties, ask 3rd parties to forward, etc. So even if each radio is online part of the time, and parties that want to talk can not directly hear each other things work just fine. It's amazing to even think about, communicating several magnitudes below the noise floor, power levels so low that hams are proud when they get less than 1 watt per 1000 miles!

Imagine standing on the west cost of the USA, shining a 5 watt flashlight at the sky, having it bounce off the sky, to land, and again into the sky, and again to the last to someone 1000s of miles away... and they can decode your signal. Amazing stuff.

I do wonder what the smallest package you could fit a 1 watt bluetooth connected HF radio in to enable any phone to talk js8call.

3DFX used similar trick in Voodoo 3D accelerators, 24bit graphics dithered into 16bit framebuffer producing what they called "22-bit" image quality using 2x2/4x4 ordered mask
