Small and medium businesses have very, very little leverage in negotiating health insurance costs. At best, they just switch to a new insurer every year as prices change.

In most cases, an option like this is better than nothing, which the founder has already pointed out is a lot of their current base.
Context. You said it with context.

I don't think art is experienced in one way only, and context is important (as almost always).

In the case of cubism—it was a response to the mode of the time. Form was being questioned. It was a philosophical effort expressed and communicated in its own way. That's one experience. Another is purely aesthetic.

Much the same with music.A computer wouldn't likely [at this stage, anyway] developed the blues. It's not purely algorithmic, though the resulting form can be used to develop one. A lot of that kind of music only developed as a result of empathy and the ability to relate to the poetry and the mood and feelings imbued by it. Likewise, that's one experience. Another is purely aesthetic. Another yet begins with the aesthetic and might explore the history to develop a more profound experience through the attempt at understanding.

I'm quite brazenly biased here. I don't resent the efforts, nor would I disparage the results of computer generated music. But I don't think it compares. By that I don't mean one is objectively better or worse than the other; I mean quite strictly that I don't think they compare.

It wasn't experience that resulted in the emergence—just mild variations on a "consciously" used algorithm. (I know I'm oversimplifying—it's not meant to degrade the author's or other commenters' work in the field)

It sounds a bit more like self-directed study than self-directed learning. If you want a resource that can help them reinforce their learning in a totally self-directed way, I'd try Khan Academy or Khan App Kids. It will help them learn, but might not be as useful for specific information they are supposed to retain for a test or a specific method of doing math or reading or writing an essay the teacher wants everyone to learn. Here's a bit more I've written on Khan and Khan App Kids. It's a fantastic resource. https://www.modulo.app/all-resources/khan-app-kids

Did you even read the article you linked to? Of course dollar cost averaging doesn't work when the market is only going up, but that's not what's happening right now. The one third of the time when DCA works is when the market experiences a wild swing in price and then returns back to where it started, which means that unless you actually expect the US economy to collapse and remain in a collapsed state for the rest of your life, dollar cost averaging is the strategy to employ in this situation.
Ask HN: Why do companies offer AI Residency positions?
What are the differences (from an employer perspective) of an AI Residency [1] versus a Junior AI Research Engineer?

If someone is high potential but also high risk (b/c lack of AI experience), I can see the benefit of a trial period. On the other hand, the company invests resources to educate and grow the residents, with some risk of losing them to other companies at the end of the program.

85 cases in Australia. And how many of those are imported?

In a binary sense, yes it “is spreading”. Even an R0 of 0.1 is “spreading”. But there is hardly enough data to say it is spreading widely in Australia.

The virus spread in summer/tropical vs winter/non-tropical regions is orders of magnitude different. But this is also not definitively causal. Just extremely highly correlated.
> Don’t share a runtime, even if all teams use the same framework. Build independent apps that are self contained.

This can't possibly be serious. Given how large modern bundled frontends often run already, this is just downright bad advice, even if you do cut all parts of your application into smaller bits. While each bit by themselves might (but may not) be smaller than a Webpack chunk otherwise would be, adding a constant overhead to every slice will surely far outweigh the benefits.
I'll take your word on that. However, that doesn't change my point that Clojure is used at lost of large companies, and the recent developer survey showed that it's becoming more widely used at large companies.

That's hardly symmetrical to the fear of losing the money that you have already invested – investors feel they have no choice but to sell before it gets worse, whereas in the rally you can always choose not to buy.
No, a lower-level part. Can't find the obscure paper where that was written up.

Coax Ethernet also suffered from basic electrical problems. It had a signal down to DC, so you couldn't decouple cable sections with a capacitor, like you can with cable TV coax.
No problem in a room, but inter-building cable runs had grounding issues. The outside of most coax connectors is treated as a ground and bolted to the enclosure, but you can't do that with long runs of Ethernet. Ethernet cables evolved to have both sides isolated from ground, with special insulated connectors, but you had to ground somewhere for safety.

Signal loss was also a problem. The receiver must be able to detect a collision from the furthest node while the local node is sending. So the amount of loss allowed end to end is quite low. Thus the need for huge RG-8 coax and huge SO-239 coax connectors.

At the time, I was working at an aerospace company which built RF gear to communicate with satellites, and we had RF experts around. They were not impressed with Ethernet as a transmission system. They wanted something more like cable TV, with an RF carrier and multiple channels, which is what Internet via coax from cable TV vendors is now. With that, you can run miles of cable, put in booster amps, have lightning arrestors, and deal effectively with the real-world problems of outside plant.

Coax Ethernet was a minimum viable product. Good concept, but needed a complete electrical redesign to scale.

Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair ("10baseT" and up) is nice electrically. The cable is cheap and small. It's a differential signal, so it has good noise immunity to other signals and induced currents from power cables. 100m long runs of cable work. You need hubs and repeaters to go further. Those are tiny now, with custom silicon, but the first Ethernet repeaters for coax Ethernet were about a cubic foot of electronics. 1970s electronics needed a lot of parts to do anything.
This is also routine in Europe where tax is included in the advertised price. Here for example the price shown for your hilarious Xmas sweater is inclusive of tax, the price shown for your toddler's equally hilarious sweater is not, because it's tax exempt (clothing for kids isn't taxed) and so in both cases the displayed price is the price you'll pay.

We added a sugar tax, so the sticker price for beverages like original Coke went up, but similar zero sugar products (Coke Zero, Pepsi Max) did not. Of course some stores just raised the before-tax price to capture the difference as profit, and others just eliminated sugary drinks. So... a mixed result.

The EU's focus is that consumers always pay what the sticker price says. So, no "plus tax", no "shipping fees not included" on items that unavoidably have to be shipped to you, no "service fees" no "card fees" nothing like that. I think even if you don't actively like this, you can see the point of this approach.

Would it be easier to get consumers angry about taxes if the tax wasn't "baked in" ? Maybe. But it's not as though it has proved impossible to campaign against, for example, tax on tampons or even toilet paper.
Thank Christ. The browsers have been far, far better stewards of the Web PKI than the CA/B Forum (at large) has been, and, in the main, the Web PKI exists to support browser security. That the major browser vendors are getting more muscular about their demands is a major shift: antitrust was a real concern that prevented a lot of important Web PKI stuff from happening sooner. But with Google and Mozilla breaking the largest CAs over documented misissuance, it's possible that concern has finally gone by the wayside.
I agree with this. I'd never touched my 401k until now, well, a few weeks ago. Anyone who couldn't see that this virus was a world-changing event wasn't paying attention. I did 'time' my way out of the market, but not so much back in. Even if I miss some gains, I just want things to stabilize some before going back in long.
So do the meager realists get to avoid bloodshed? Or, better yet, capitalize on the blood of pessimists and optimists?

It's a thing in that there are recordsets you can create to implement DANE for your zone, and software you can install that will validate those records. It is not a thing in that no mainstream browser will look at DANE, and in that virtually no popular sites (especially in the technology industry) use DANE.

DANE is a dead letter standard.
The market has been dropping for a week. Indicators across the board are long term negative. We are well past the realm of daily market fluctuations.

It appears China did actually donate $20 million to the WHO[1], but I'm not sure what this means. I've seen claims that they've walked back statements immediately following the donations, and whether or not that's true seems to be mostly opinion. I'm sure it influenced the WHO but how much is difficult to say.

Maybe I'm grossly naive too, but it seems incredibly myopic to assume that everything coming out of the WHO is now immediately suspect when the facts are pretty clear that we just don't know much about this virus and probably won't for quite some time. There have been one or two early papers coming out questioning how transmissible the virus is, but I think the data is just too limited.

Without the World Health Organization, we're left with the CDC... and not much else.

FWIW the Gates Foundation was also going to donate $20 million to the WHO[2].

Wait what? The administration decides the spending that Congress can approve or reject. Trump was absolutely pushing for the tax cuts when Repubicans had control of the House. Why is no Republican harping about the deficit now? I can understand if the deficit was due to infrastructure spending but giving Zuckerberg a tax cut is not going to help the economy.

Even when schools are open normally, the childcare schools provide for kids like this is mediocre at best in terms of hours and quality. Co-ops/childcare swaps can be good solution, but they don't necessarily mitigate the risk of the disease spreading, though it hasn't impacted kids so much as of yet.
Imagine being excited to "go to market" to buy health insurance.

In the same way that I don't want to have to shop around for fire insurance in case my house is burning down, or look up water suppliers when I buy a home: I simply want the state apparatus to handle these sorts of details.
To those who believe that all markets are rational and efficient, that interventions cause more harm than good, y, an enforced halt seems to be anti-capitalist.

But we are not rational actors. We can get into panics. Panics can stir more panic. Forced breaks allow for the market to reassess data for a few minutes without fear of loss for not acting immediately.

I think we're generally on a trajectory towards addressing the fundamental issue --- a few major firms will implement free certificates, like LetsEncrypt and ACM, and the industry will consolidate around them. And browsers will get stricter about transparency requirements for the oddball CAs. But it seems like we're definitely going to salami slice our way out of this problem.

Right. And that's why I wish a startup like this would instead be focused on helping s-m businesses bargain for more rather than extract from less.

Clock speeds aren't comparable between different architectures.

You're also looking at a CPU designed for a phone, and a CPU designed for a server farm. If Apple were to design a CPU for professional multimedia workstations, it would not have the same parameters as either of these.
I guess you could make something similar with PowerPoint and "jump to slide" actions and VBA macros, but i haven't seen any HLP or CHM (even though CHM could technically do it via JavaScript) that work like that.

Still, what i found interesting was mainly the way this was presented in bite-sized pieces (via the pages that couldn't arbitrarily extend via scrolling), combined with clear graphs/pictures and interactivity (not just hyperlinking, but also end-of-chapter quizzes and in a couple of cases showing values changing live as you move your mouse over them).

Technically simple stuff, of course, and certainly done before (i mean, ToolBook was made in 1989 and is still around, so chances are someone is using it :-P), but not something i see often, which seems to be a shame. I had only heard the name "fuzzy logic" before, but after reading that presentation (just the fundamentals) i got a decent idea about what they are and it was easy to follow the tutorial. In comparison the same URL has a bunch of PDFs, including a text-only tutorial that seemed to describe more or less the same stuff. However i could only glaze over before closing it since i just couldn't focus on it. The interactive stuff is just so much more attractive :-P

We are extremely interested in engaging in group bargaining for lower rates and are actively working with experts who have experience doing this. A recent federal ruling has opened the door to doing this across state lines, which could be very powerful.
You're quite right, thanks. I'll try and get this fixed up tomorrow.
That's true but it's also true that the plans need not cover maternity. There are tons of ACA plans that don't. And in "markets" with one player they can just name their price. None of this is your fault of course.

If you're not yet close to retirement, what happens today in the markets will have almost no effect on what your portfolio looks like in 10, 20, 30 years. Making any big changes would be stupid. Maintain a diverse portfolio and basically forget it exists outside of maxing it out every year. This is especially true if you're lazy and have it all in something like a retirement target fund like Vanguard.
Wait until we make attempts to control the spread in the US. Things are about to get really interesting. Based on timelines from other countries, we're probably 1-6, closer to 1-3 weeks away from full outbreak and severe containment measures.
I know this is a non-answer, but if you have healthy financial habits, you won't need specific preparation for a recession.

I believe you can't time the market so 'preparing for a recession' is a moot point. Instead set financial goals that align with your risk tolerance and that make you comfortable.

That being said, the advice that I would give is just standard stuff. I think some sources do a much better job at explaining those so I'll let others answer. Big strokes is just the usual stuff: prepare a emergency fund, contribute up to your employer match (or more), set up a budget, etc.

One important point is, if you invest in the market, just keep investing, no matter what others do.

I'm a fan of free markets and I'll be the first to admit that it's nonsense to have a black and white perception of the world. It's not either 100% free markets or state-driven economy. There's a huge world in-between both extremes. Being a fan of free markets simply means you err towards one side more than the other.

Having common sense regulations and tools like circuitbreakers are fine with me. I wouldn't say it's meaningfully less of a free market just because we have these tools in place to protect us against the automation we use.

Mathematics is also written tersely but not this tersely, and nor is terse math easy to read for mathematicians.

Terse logic is also very different from terse names; how much of K brevity is just from name compression vs logical succinctness? Haskell people could also use single character names everywhere. When will they adopt the conveniences of fitting everything in as few pages as possible?

And what’s the point of fitting as much content as you can into one eyeball when working memory can’t consume a whole page of a non-succinct language like Python?

>Italy’s steps are less limiting than one might have anticipated. The government is letting people move around the affected areas, and even to leave them, for work- or health-related reasons. Rome says it will fine or arrest those who break the rules, but it will be difficult to patrol such a vast area. Individuals will only need a written statement to prove that they’re traveling for work — a system that’s open to abuse.

The last few words seem like an understatement. It looks like they are trying to strike a balance between competing needs. Even if the attempts at restriction are not effective at stopping motivated individuals from traveling, at the very least these policies further bolster cultural norms discouraging movement and encouraging social distancing.
