In a recent podcast interview, Musk claims there have been thousands of new (EDIT: American) consumer car companies and that every single one has failed besides Tesla (if I recall correctly). Presumably this counts every incorporated team that made a rudimentary prototype.
ooh. That is great advice! We used the RadioHead mesh solution but it is super non optimal for us and we plan to switch. I'll definitely do some reading on DASH7.
First things first, thank you very much for the fast response!

It's very true that all the prepwork is pretty costly, hence my eagerness to try and adopt random bits and pieces even at this stage; it might end up saving us time down the line haha

While I have you around... what would be a good toy to build with this? Our megalithic, business rules heavy app sounds like a potential good fit for the Redwood, but it's entirely too large a bite to tease our engineering leads with.
I've used a few different ZFS snapshot management tools, the one feature I'm missing is something to assist with data retrieval. I'd like to be able to specify a dataset, path and date/time and the tool would mount the closest snapshot to the specified time and pull the appropriate data for me.
It does not matter if is mild or not for the point raised, that is a important one:

Side effects of a experimental treatment can be worse than the disease.

Even if the disease is severe. HIV is an example of a really bad problem that can be cured, but the procedure is so risky that normally it doesn't worth the try.

Cancer is a huge problem, but some people are almost insta-killed by chemoterapy for genetical reasons. There is not point into trying every snake oil available without taking in mind the side effects.

And for some groups of age, like children, yes: coronavirus currently is equivalent to a mild flu. Under 20 years old the mortality is relatively low, and for children is minimal. The coronavirus problem is not homogeneous. Is very dangerous for some people, specially when team with other previous diseases, and not so dangerous for other. The idea of treating children with a non tested treatment is ethically problematic at this moment.
Most lawyers would still say not to do this to a small client with limited resources to defend themselves. A more well funded client would be walked through a process that combines obfuscation with plausible deniability. Being scrutinized is just as bad as being put on trial when the alternative is a zero risk position. So when you collect the data you need a strategy that minimizes being noticed (or being noticed by a party that is allowed to act), executes in a way that produces minimal evidence (or the kinds of evidence a lawyer can't have dismissed), and which might violate the spirit of the law but not its letter (unless you're European because they find writing real laws cumbersome).
Acupuncture? Closed the tab right away.
I don't know. But if they can solve it, then a true online degree becomes possible, not just in an emergency. That's going to be revolutionary. Twenty years from now, everyone having to move to a physical location to attend a university is going to seem insane... if they can solve it.

>[JSON] relatively lightweight

Um... no? Epoch as binary, 4 bytes. As JSON, 10 bytes. 64bit big num in binary, 8 bytes, in JSON 19 bytes.

For a small example object I can think of

{
“x” : “y”
}

In binary, 5 bytes. In JSON, 9 bytes.

Now... light ENOUGH because you’re using a PC and gigs of ram and a 100mbit internet, sure. Light in terms of a microcontroller? No.

I flat out could not use JSON in any of my projects and I’m not at FAANG level.
As other commenters have mentioned, Harvard has also enacted a similar policy.

I'm currently not in Boston, but I received an email this morning essentially instructing me to not return to campus for the foreseeable future. A family member of mine is also a graduate student at UCLA and they were also informed that all coursework would be conducted online for the next month.

> Bonds and stocks have been fairly non-correlated over recent years, but this hasn't always been so.

An analysis of how the correlation has faired between the S&P500 and bonds since WW2:

* https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2019/07/26793/

There were quite a few years when it has been positive.

One of the more useful attributes of bonds is that you could sell them when stocks tanked: when you rebalanced your portfolio to re-align things to the desired equities/fixed-income allocation, bonds were a form of 'keeping your powder dry' to buy low during stock market corrections.
It's buried a bit in the GitHub docs, but it looks like it runs two containerds. One is for Kubernetes. The other is for running administrative containers, including the API server for normal interaction with the host, a server that implements AWS's remote command protocol (enabled by default), and a container that runs sshd (disabled by default).

Packages are built with RPM but RPM isn't used at runtime. Instead, the system is image-based and reboots for updates.

Hi, can you tell me what you mean by SRQL? is it "Sorted Relational Query Language"?
The same reason any other cop would need guns. Hell, we had a high profile death of an armed MIT police officer not that long ago (Boston bombings). Universities can and do face external threats, so even if the students themselves aren't packing heat (which is itself sometimes the case), there's non-student criminals who cause the same kinds of problems they would anywhere else. I remember there being lots of break-ins, robberies, even some rapes on-campus. UMD is in Prince Georges County, which has some pretty sketchy high-crime areas in it, and students are vulnerable victims.

The university cops are mostly there to protect the students (from off-campus trouble-makers, and also from each other; especially re: alcohol problems).
They also don't charge me rent after that day passes. The finals at my school were from Saturday till the next Friday. So whether your finals were on Saturday or on the next Friday, it still cost the same. It sounds nitpicky, but our rent was about $1500 a month. A lot of students paid $375 to be homeless.
Had Linux not existed, the world would possibly run on something based on a BSD kernel today, Google included. Maybe with a GNU userspace, maybe not.

And LineageOS would probably have a hard time existing because the manufacturers would not be forced to release their kernels.

We might have proprietary kernels optimised for Intel CPUs, too.

The FSF might also have decided to continue the development of Hurd, or someone to write improvements to a BSD kernel under a GPL license.
> Rituals are programs written in the symbolic language of the unconscious mind. Religions are program libraries that share critical subroutines. And the Gods represent subystems in the wetware being programmed. All humans have potential access to pretty much the same major gods because our wetware design is 99% shared.

> Only...that cold and mechanistic a way of thinking about the Gods simply will not work when you want to evoke one. For full understanding, the Apollonian/scientific mode is essential; for direct experience, the Dionysian/ecstatic mode is the only way to go.

That resonated surprisingly strongly with me.
Against a motion blaming the current government for inequality in health outcomes. The vote itself is a minor and uninteresting bit of political theater; all the actual substance is in the debate. It's also worth noting that this isn't simply about access to healthcare - as several MPs from both sides of the aisle point out, it's about broader social and economic issues and their impact on people's health. That seems like something to bear in mind when considering how much economic damage is worth it to try and stop this coronavirus.
It has about 15 KB of data: 10KB in power_of_ten_components and 5KB in mantissa_128. [1] That's ~23% of the per-core L1 data cache on (eg) the recently announced APU chip. [2, 3] So before getting too excited about the microbenchmark numbers, I'd be careful to ensure the additional cache pressure doesn't slow down my program as a whole.

edit: also, ~2.5KB of that is due to padding in power_of_ten_components. I wonder if it'd be better to split the uint64_t field into two uint32_ts to avoid this.

Looked at it again, seems memory management is a bit of an issue, it supports memory allocation callback but not just handing it a buffer to work with (though I guess allocation should be predictable).

Also I don't know how they got "code sizes appreciably under 1 KiB". On my STM32F1 release mode with -Os it adds about 12kB.

But yeah, maybe I should reevaluate CBOR.

The EU has freedom of movement, but you're required to register as a resident if you stay in any country for more than three months - although if you're studying you usually have a separate student visa.

In most countries residency gives you access to the local healthcare system, although to access this you usually need to register separately with a doctor/health centre.
Confused, you think it’s just too improbable to believe that MIT admitted 60 kids whose parents make <25k yearly? MIT can cherry pick the highest achieving kids in pretty much any national, heck even global, cohort. It seems reasonable to me that there are (way more than) 60 such kids.
I'm sure you'll get through this difficult time in your life somehow
> The free market dictates that products will survive on their merits

Huh? That's certainly not what the free market dictates at all. There's no sense of "merit" imbued anywhere inside anything in the free market. There are assumptions behind the shapes of the supply and demand functions (namely convexity) and a belief in price signaling information. That's all.
But then in this situation, who is going to teach the classes?
> that looks REAL similar to a certain other group that seems to be making a name for themselves in this thread

Which other group are you referring to? If you're going to make charges of conspiracy theory, then you shouldn't use innuendo. Just come right out and say what you mean.
Tesla seems to be somewhat ahead in technology - their range is currently higher than in the Porsches/Audis/... and the software seems quite a bit more advanced.

Tesla can use this to their advantage to sell more cars while the traditional automakers play catchup. But eventually they will get closer.

And Volkswagen alone can introduce dozens of new models every year, based on their building blocks (MEB) and numerous brands. There will be cars this year from 15.000€ (VW e.Up and friends) to 150.000€ (Porsche Taycan), and a few others in between. VW alone plans to introduce 70 electric models in the coming years.

How will Tesla, who did 4 models in ten years, compete with the sheer breadth of this market? Looking at what’s parked in the street, people choose lots of different types of cars, there’s no one-fits-all.

> In what way are dorms worse than personal homes for diseases anyway?

They are worse for MIT’s apparent COVID-19 policy of cancelling as much on-premise work and study as possible, since dorms have non-zero labor requirements. Student return-home living arrangements may also have that feature, but it's probably not MIT’s problem, and in any case student return home probably has less marginal effect on the requirements for non-family labor at their home than their impact at MIT.

The 32nd patient here caught ncovid-19 and started showing symptoms on the the 2nd of March whole staying in the UK. But the hospital refused to test her and told her to self quarantine at home instead. Six days later her condition got worse and her family which is very rich rented an airplane to fly her back to our third world country for treatment. The girl now has damaged lung and is in serious condition. I just don't know what is wrong with the hospitals over there, why did they refuse to test her? It's very irresponsible and the situation seems much worse than it seems in the UK.

Oh and nearly half a dozen new cases here recently are all Britons too.

(Google for 32nd covid-19 patient in Vietnam if you want to know more)
I’m not a doctor, but fusing a complement activator to a natural enzyme and megadosing it is a horrible idea because it’s gonna trigger complement activation in the context of a self protein, which could cause major autoimmunity, and ACE2 overload is gonna overactivate the angiotensin-aldosterone axis and deactivate renin via negative feedback, screw up your electrolytes which could cause arrhythmias, and give you high blood pressure.

To avoid side effects, a therapy ought to be as orthogonal as possible to natural systems. A high dose of a hormone activator smushed together with an immune activator is definitely not orthogonal to natural systems.

More useful to focus on genomic smart bombs like CRISPR Cas13 ( cough, https://github.com/bionicles/coronavirus ) or RNAi because they’re way, way, way, less likely to have side effects, they can last forever, can easily be retargeted to future germs hella quick, etc etc
> There is a difference between "should" (which is clearly an opinion) and "must" (which implies some level of force to back it up).

"Should" can turn into "must" very quickly when the "force to back it up" is obtained. So the time to object is at the "should" stage. If you wait until the "must" stage, it's too late. (Note that "cancel culture", when it reaches the "must" stage, which is exactly what it's trying to do with FOSS projects, does not tolerate dissenting opinions.)

I don't think public health experts should be taking partisan views of the public into consideration, or need to be experts on what can and cannot pass legislatively, personally. They should be objectively speaking from experience as health professionals and/or scientists.

I don’t know how much dining hall food costs or if it’s prepaid but you are talking about eating out for every meal on a students budget.

The point about bringing up the dining hall is they can’t go to the grocery store because they have no way to cook (and maybe even store) the food they bought.
As a sidenote, it's easy to get lost among the "how many hundreds of thousands of model 3s can tesla produce in a year", but I just saw an overall production stat and noticed they're over 900,000 cars lifetime, and hadn't heard it mentioned elsewhere. 1 million vehicles sold will be a real milestone.

I stumbled upon a comment online, recently, from a guy who went on and on about peak oil for years. In 2008, he made a joke about "Tesla will have surpassed the US car industry". I don't remember the time horizon, but the first Roadster was delivered to Elon in February 2008. It just made me reflect on what we'd think of that prediction/joke and how it turned out, if we were to go back in time.
Aside luxury cars, it seems like German manufacturers are also losing against French manufacturers in the electric compact car market.

The Dutch criteria, at the moment, include that you have to have a fever (38 or up), or respiratory complaints, and having been to any one of the Northern Italian provinces. Rome is not one of them. Your friend being denied a test has nothing to do with whether or not she's registered. She doesn't fit the criteria for getting tested.

edit I also think you should explain this to her. I understand and recognize that not all bureaucratic procedures are equally sane or understandable, but in this specific case, she's being treated as she should be ('should' as in 'what is decided is the best', not as in 'what in a few years time we will determine would have been the best'). There is no reason for her to be jaded or put off by anything health related - people have reasons to become cynical about government services, but this is not one of them. Unfortunately circumstances like this turn people off from central measures, which then undermines future global population health, much like anti-vaxxers. Consider this your opportunity to make a tiny contribution to a well-informed citizenry :)
I think most students would be more self-contained off-campus. Going entirely online helps, but I wouldn't call college downs clean. Clearing them out is a good idea.
MIT is not "self contained," it's in the middle of the Boston metro less than a few miles away from dozens of other schools including large universities like BU and Harvard.

The university can send most of its students home. It can't stop the rest of the world from interacting with them in the middle of a regional hub.
AFAIK when I was in Europe I would have loved to be able to buy Japanese cars but they were the top taxed cars, some crazy >20% amount or so. So there was no choice but to buy "local". With Tesla it seems a lot of countries are giving out serious tax breaks so I wonder how much of that will continue once those incentives stop.
Well, you're not really defining what you consider 'passive communication' or why you harbor this view, so there seems to be material missing to formulate a nuanced reply.

Assuming you are defining "passive communication" the way the parent comment does, the answer seems clear: passive communication does not engage, examine or disclose its beliefs, but instead papers over their existence and applies them indiscriminately. The passivity of that communication is rooted in tone, but not about conflict avoidance or politeness as the examples listed under active communication suggest - rather, it's a tone of wheedling insistence, if such a racy and vivid metaphor can be accurate.
Now, can we evolve a ML algorithm that would in turn produce a better AutoML? Ladies and gentlemen, the Singularity Toolkit v[quickly changing digits here].
That's nuts. The federal government at this point has done far more harm than good.

Organizations that provide testing (public or private) should have just coordinated directly with the WHO on how to do those tests and just busted their butts to keep up with demand, which doctors deciding directly who to test and when. We'd have far more testing being done if we have just let markets do their thing.
