(2) The 900 MHz ISM band within Australia is 915–928 MHz. 900 MHz ISM devices working outside of this range cannot be operated in Australia (that is, ISM devices that use the frequencies 902–915 MHz are not authorised for use within Australia).

(3) Using the frequency range 902–915 MHz would interfere with Australian mobile telephone networks. Severe criminal penalties, including fines of up to $255,000, exist under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 for interfering with radiocommunications services.
Looks interesting. Nice initiative people!
Correct. And this is, in no small part, due to the fact that there are many amenities in the office that I didn't see a need to buy at home. As a renter I've moved quite a lot of times and will probably move some more, so I've chosen to minimize my possessions at home.
The idea is that by reducing density (and thus community transmission), you flatten the curve and minimize the number of people concurrently infected. This reduces strain on a fixed healthcare resource pool and avoids situations like we saw in Wuhan.
No.

I love many things about Svelte but after using Vue for a couple of years I wouldn't go back to single file components.

The idea of having markup+logic+styles in the same file works for small components but it gets muddy on bigger ones. It can be argued that components should be as small as possible but OTOH having to create a new file for every damn component gets old very quickly.

For the past 2-3 years I've been working again with JSX based libraries and being able to create micro components on the same JS file makes a lot more sense.

I've also gone back to regular SASS and moved all CSS outside of components (except for dynamic CSS). It works better IMO than single file components.

“The censor machine is working tirelessly too. Public mood is constantly monitored and analysed by AI, with countermeasures devised to match it. Take the case of Li Wenliang. Li, an ophthalmologist in Wuhan, was one of the first to warn people about the new virus. On 30 December he messaged a group of colleagues about a possible outbreak; a few days later he was summoned by police and reprimanded for ‘making false statements that disturbed the public order’. Li continued his work at the hospital and on 10 January started experiencing symptoms of infection. On 6 February, his heart stopped.“

His "you should charge more" advice is pound-for-pound the single most impactful advice I've ever heard for developers: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2006/08/14/you-can-probably-stand-...
On the other hand some practices should have explicit rationale. For example I’ve learned that tests should contain some associated rationale for what the case is covering. Otherwise the next person to update the test risks eliminating coverage somewhere.
Centripetal acceleration at the equator is R ω^2 = (radius of the earth) * (2 * pi / 24 hours)^2 = 0.0337 m/s^2 .

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, so you weigh 0.3% less in Singapore than at the North Pole. (There are other factors, like the Earth's bulge, which I won't consider.)

This small enough that people don't notice it. (Presumably dinosaurs wouldn't either.) Plus, most people don't live on the equator, and there's a cos(latitude)^2 factor which reduces the centripetal acceleration. At 45 degree latitude the acceleration is 1/2 that of the equator.

Speed up the Earth's rotation to 23.5 hours and it's 0.0352 m/s^2.

The difference is 0.0015 m/s^2 , which is quite small compared to the normal force of gravity.

Thus, it isn't really important for most things.

We're not talking about some pariah state here. Kazakhstan is pretty close to a model international citizen; they've not started any wars, they're not accused of hacking or spying on anyone or interfering in other countries. It's hard to imagine any reasonable standard that would exclude Kazakhstan but include enough countries to reasonably qualify as international.
I believe the substance of those suits was on the copyright protection IBM were due on the ROM BIOS image, which was the most substantial piece of IP developed by IBM for the PC. In the end, clones won because the BIOS call interface could be replicated without directly copying that software artefact -- merely its behaviour -- and so actually seems pretty relevant to API copyright issues generally.
The most egregious offenders here IMO are C++'s map and unordered_map. The spec constrains the possible implementations, and it's hard to implement them as anything better than a red-black tree or a badly-unoptimized hash table, respectively. And really the unordered one should be the default with the nice short name.

It looks like Rust is doing well on this. HashMap (the one everybody uses) is essentially a clone of Google's heavily-optimized C++ hash table:

https://abseil.io/blog/20180927-swisstables

... and if you need the collection to be sorted, their BTreeMap has much lower overhead than the C++ std::map, plus a big prominent note in its documentation saying that HashMap is usually the one you want.

I'm impressed. (Haven't looked at Zig yet.)
Did GM announce a charging network? Most people may be able to charge at home, but they also want peace of mind the 1 time a year they travel on a road trip.

A simple nasal cannula with oxygen ought to work for most cases. Assuming you need physical help though:

Iron lungs are superior. They avoid throat injury caused by tubes, they allow semi-normal talking and eating (time it right), and they generally make people more comfortable.

We got rid of iron lungs for cost reasons. They are physically huge and heavy. They slow down all patient care that doesn't involve the head.

There is a new device that is even better than an iron lung, but it is extremely uncommon. It operates the same way, but it is in the form of a body-conforming shell (like a turtle) and it has a push-pull action. It even has a button to request coughing, which turns out to be important.

I feel that we ought to somehow pressure hospitals to upgrade. It isn't right that people have to suffer with tubes jammed down their throats when far superior alternatives are available.
I'm not going to pretend to be optimistic about the capacity for large scale social transformation in particular in the US I'll give you that, but there have been increasing voices for revitalizing rail.

I think the reasons are:

1. In most places, the absolute numbers are still very low. If you look at it like "X in a million", X is still low, so it feels like there is no need to panic.

2. Continuing the above, if you compare X to something else, like "getting hit by a car" or something similar, it feels rational to not worry about Corona too much, since you're also not worrying about other things (you're used to the risks).

3. People like Trump are comparing it to the flu.

4. For most healthy, non-smoking people under 50, the risks are relatively low based on the data. Kids seem to be pretty safe from it.

5. Based on official numbers it's contained in China: more people are coming out of the disease than going in, the net number is negative, active cases is declining. [2]

However, 1. + 2. above are only re-assuring if you use the "independent events" mental model, which everyone defaults to. Eg. if you get hit by a car or you get cancer, that doesn't increase my chances. So if the probabilities are low (X in a million), and you and me getting it is independent and the probability is not increasing, then the mental model works, and it's reasonable not to worry. But this mental model is wrong here, because this is viral growth. It's spreading exponentially outside China [1]. So you getting it increases my chances of getting [eventually]. We are not indenependent. It's like the flu in this sense, but it spreads more efficicently and kills more people, so 3. above is also a wrong.

On point 4 above, let's hope this is the case. But, everyone has older/sick relatives..

On point 5 above, it'll be interesting to see how liberal democracies respond, whether they can pull the aggressive measures like curfewing the population that China did. Also, China has a lot of economic resources, not sure how smaller/weaker economies will hold up.

In conclusion, I don't think most people realize that for the next ~3 months (imo for a lot more time), their lifestyles will be drastically different. Until now we were in "1st world yolo" mode, now it'll be: no going to work, no schools, no travel, no socializing, no gym, no events.. A lot of the things we work for, live for, will be put on hold. See China, Italy.

This is not a strong argument, because the license is young and not popular. You're more likely to see lawsuits for licenses used widely in software, especially in software that is widely used.

That's life, my man. If you think you're going to get the same access as Raj Chetty is, you're in for a rude surprise. The society of academia is built on trust and since people abhor providing information, academics who have other means of demonstrating trustworthiness will be the ones with access.

This is true of everything from IRS data to a startup's data. I worked at a company which shared data extensively with researchers. But we weren't idiots. We gave it to people we trusted. Not every clown claiming to be an independent researcher. That's just sensible.
In the US, "physicians" might be less numerous, but there are a lot of highly-skilled intermediary roles that fill the gap -- Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, etc, all perform routine treatment performed by "physicians" in other countries.

US physician training is honestly excessively long, complicated, and expensive (although there are justifications for making it this way), but it's a simplification to point out that there aren't as many doctors, without noting all the other doctor-esque roles with significant overlap.
I find it interesting that they said they would change it back as soon as they found out about it. That suggests it's not an institutional decision but rather it's some sort of individual acting, I wonder if they someone else or just took it upon themselves to change the name to be more in line with what China would prefer?
> This is wrong. The "magic" (i.e. the thing that distinguishes it from social pressure) is threat of violence or imprisonment from the state if you don't comply with the law.

Again, though, any violence is ultimately going to be carried out by humans for social reasons. While these online outrage mobs are, as yet, nowhere near as powerful as governments, they're already making credible threats of violence, so that's not the clear bright line you seem to think it is.

> No it isn't. You are employed at-will by your employer, they are free to fire you if they decide they want to do that, but they don't have to. If the business makes the decision to fire you based on public pressure that's their right unless you're making an argument for stricter labor laws (I suspect you aren't).

I am, among other things; at-will employment has always seemed unreasonable to me, as proven by the very existence of protected classes. It's popular to say "asshole isn't a protected class", but as far as I can see the whole rationale for protected classes applies just as strongly to those who have said legal but unpopular things.

From the prior source [1], immediately below the previously-quoted text:

"Trial Exhibit 980, The Java Application Programming Interface, Volume 1, is a book that covers four packages and refers to them as the "core packages." According to the back cover of the book, these four packages "are the foundation of the Java language. These libraries include java.lang, java.io, java.util, and java.net. These are the general purpose libraries fundamental to every Java program."

> it's a simplification to point out that there aren't as many doctors, without noting all the other doctor-esque roles with significant overlap.

Comparing the number of doctors in the US to other countries is not a good measure of anything. But noting that americans spend more per capita and get worse health outcomes is pretty significant.
Like the other post said, reducing the overall number of people infected is good, but spreading out the curve is absolutely essential to avoid completely overloading the health care system. Given the nature of an unmitigated exponential and the fact that there is an incubation time, by the time hospitals start filling up you are bound for chaos a few weeks later with nothing you can do about it.
