> Why? The stigma of culture war and political battles aside, why shouldn't employees take part in making business decisions in general?

Basically, no.

That's what's management is for.

They can become manager's if they want to impact that, though.

Are they qualified to understand what they're talking about? If they have a disagreement, is there a reason why they wouldn't raise it via proper channels rather than effect other things that are vital to the organization?

Are they big picture thinkers that have taken the time to digest the system, uninfluenced by social pressures? Some people don't care about their organization's goals, their coworkers, and decide to act out for their own vanity, at everyone else's expense.

And that is one reason why management exists. To answer your question, while they may be wrong, there's a purpose in shielding decision making away from those who lose sight of the org's goals.

The point of the union is when management makes decisions, which can be unfair and uncaring to the worker, that their rights, safety, and livelihood also are represented with fairness. The alternative I offered to you was, in an organization large enough, they could request to move to a different project.

The credit here doesn't go to South Korea's government but to a company called Seegene and it's CEO Chun Jong-yoon who directed the company to focus on COVID-19 testing on January 16th. They are the reason South Korea's CDC was able to ramp up 118 labs so quickly. It's making about 10,000 test kits a week and has been at the center of South Korea's testing strategy.

The market is better at addressing problems than government and if the FDA and CDC hadn't gotten in the way in the US, our testing response would have been far better.

Seegene's kits test for all three marker genes and aren't even available in the US because it doesn't yet have FDA approval. At least 30 other countries are placing orders for Seegene's kits.

Realistically, how would you envision tests on this scale being performed? In theory, it’s a great plan. Pretty much everyone in the US is close to a Walmart/CVS/Target. Drive up, get swabbed, check results online. Fast and minimal human interaction. The implementation remains to be seen but I can’t imagine the alternative of having everyone rush doctor’s offices and hospitals working very well.

"So bad" depends on what they were trying to do. If they were trying to observe skeletal tracking of their fingers, then they should be pretty happy. If they were trying to use it in place of a mouse or something, then it probably sucked because no one has solved the UX for one of these things which is my point. The Soli is even better than the Leap at tracking fingers, but exactly what good is that?
Sure; the idea is that testing allows officials to make decisions about how best to use the resource you have, both in terms of hospital beds and quarantine.

I often wonder why IOT devices aren’t regulated more analogous to cars, since the Internet is a bit analogous to a road system [0], i.e. a shared resource where mistakes and misbehaviour impact other participants.

A couple of car analogies might be, that car manufacturers are required to have cars repairable for x years, and that recalls to repair dangerous defects are mandatory. In the case of IOT, the recalls could just be mandatory updates.

I'm pretty sure Bill Gates is worshipped for more than his wealth. Growing up, he was the stereotypical wunderkind and people would say about smart kids "going to be the next Bill Gates". Come on, I was there to type in Microserf and M$ when Microsoft was fucking everyone with the SCO bullshit. That was infuriating, as was all the crap around FAT and NTFS. But you rarely find the combo of technologist and smart businessman.

For all the crap he did, ultimately the Gates Foundation is awesome and it's set up in such a way that it doesn't last forever. All reasons to admire the fellow.

I remember this clickbait title from a couple of days ago. The comparison is for all packages over Debian's history in the last 20 years versus a specific release version of Windows. Hardly a fair comparison.

I evaluated Visual Basic as an alternative to Borland C++ to develop Windows programs. It was just not there. Borland C++ allowed easy GUI design and was easy integrated with Windows APIs for any low-level needs.

Several years later the jump in quality was astonishing. Good ODBC drivers and easy linking between database rows and your UI make it a fast development tool that fit many needs.

This paper's completely misleading. Coronavirus also has shown benefit in animal models -- for example, "Antiviral Activity of Chloroquine against Human Coronavirus OC43 Infection in Newborn Mice"

"Survival rates declined in a dose-dependent manner, with 88% survival when treated with 5 mg/kg chloroquine and 13% survival when treated with 1 mg/kg chloroquine. Our results show that chloroquine can be highly effective against HCoV-OC43 infection in newborn mice and may be considered as a future drug against HCoVs."

I could see Game of Life as part of a DIY steganography scheme. E.g. I tweet a picture and have some numerals in my tweet called N. You download the picture and convert it via an agreed on protocol to a game of life board, then advance the board by N times. Then you convert the board back to bits and then to text, and find somewhere in the text a "Message begins: XXX. Message ends." Sequence.

I wonder if you would be able to hide messages in superficially normal pictures like that.

The site, not the paper, got posted. If the site shouldn't count, maybe we shouldn't post paper summary sites?

Even though lay-person/marketing summaries of papers, and popular reporting summaries very often mess up academic results, or even just leave out details, personally I feel like having some hidden requirement to read through and understand the complete academic sources behind any article is onerous and might be unreasonable, especially if the paper is technical and inaccessible to a lay audience.

I appreciate it when someone like @kryogen1c recognizes and admits their gut reaction was based on incomplete information, that's as valuable to me as hearing comments that research and understand the sources.

it wasn't "the market" that solved this problem. it was the employees, including the ceo, at that company who felt a duty to the rest of the country, not to some market opportunity, that effected the result.

bureaucracies, including corporate ones (see: innovator's dilemma), are typically not nimble enough to respond to rapidly changing circumstances. it's not a market vs government (false) dichotomy.

He just did a recent interview, released yesterday morning, so the interview might have been done as recently as Wednesday night, where he essentially claims that the coronavirus in the USA could soon cause the ETF bubble to burst.

The stock market has dropped quite a bit from its top, but the interview seems to be implying that a further drop is more likely than not at this point.

This is a fascinating question, and I don't think I'm qualified to give an authoritative answer to it, but I think the _primary_ property of brains and brain-like neural complexes is that they encode behavioral responses to stimuli.

Similar to how a signal transduction process mediates between molecular receptors on cell membrane and cell behaviors, the neural complex mediates between stimuli and response at the level of the organism.

But at the same time I can see why you are thinking about flexibility as some sort of "primary property" because they seem to be inherently flexible in some way. I'm locating _plasticity_ more narrowly to the cortex part of the animal brain, but perhaps the cortex is just an amplification of some simpler lower-level flexibility. At this point my knowledge of the subject falls short.

Edit: thank you for the interesting discussion, you have sparked me to dig more deeply into these topics!

This is the real problem. Both the CDC and the FDA stopped everyone else from making progress on testing and we only started getting more tests when labs decided to disobey them.

Cockups like this really should lay to rest the idea some people have that the federal government is a panacea for everything.

This is very similar to one of Warren Buffett's quote about investing in companies: “I try to invest in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.”

The truth is that federal government is far from being able to be wonderful when run by idiots. The best thing to do is try things out at the state level and if it proves to be so wonderful, only then do you try to scale it to two states, then three until it is so wonderful that it can be done at the federal level.

Of course it can transmit that far, it just takes a few hops.

What he was actually comparing the phone with was the so-called "huge computer" that processed all the data wires coming from the radar receiver sensors, not the radar transmitter itself.

4:25> Each radio receiver has lots of sensors. Each sensor has to be supplied with data wires and power. All data wires were going to the main control centre. It looked like a huge (let's say) computer. But believe me, this thing (waves phone) is much better than anything here. (laughs)
That's really interesting and seems like it could (in theory) work, though it would be challenging and time consuming to actually compress data this way.

> Sometimes there’s a technology that solves a problem really well in your particular project, but which is really hard to understand or learn.

I have seen this problem too many times. Some team find a framework/language combination that makes their lives slightly easier in the short term and want to go for the new technology. But, they do not think about how we will scale that knowledge or what will happen if the code is moved to another team.

A couple of times I have been in the situation to have to re-write an application to the company common language (in one case Java, the other Javascript) because the receiving teams did not liked the technology and did not wanted to spend personal time learning something that was not valuable to them.

When a new framework is adopted, it is a commitment that we will train the developers and let them experiment, fail and learn until they take hold of the technology. It takes tame and the decision cannot be taken lightly.

Trump is the one who banned travelling from China when all the left and media said it is because he is racist, then he banned travel from Europe which is not racist because they are white, he did this also pretty early.

He is the one who advocated strong borders and returning manufacturing to the US and now signed the order to force manufacturing of certain medicines in the US rather than in China. He is the one who objected investing billions in "green new deals", imagine the economy had to deal now with this waste of money on some perceived future problem.

In hindsight Trump was right about his anti globalisation and strong border control policies and did the right things at a reasonable timeline. So yes, he said some stupid stuff, who cares, it is better having someone who do the right things than say the right things.

This is a great question. Our medical directors have published a lot of research on this protocol (MAT). If you're interested, I recommend this book by Dr. Bisaga: https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Opioid-Addiction-Authorita...

More generally: MAT is very well researched, vetted, and accepted by the medical community. Our innovation is in the delivery of this treatment, through ways that make it easier to opt into and stick with. MAT has historical adherence rates of 60-70% (same as diabetes and depression), but often people drop out because they grow tired of visiting a clinic regularly for group therapy, just to get their medication refilled. We think we can increase adherence rates by making MAT less of a burden to people, particularly as they enter into the later stages of treatment.
