It's all relative based on what people's options are. What if the government comes out tomorrow and says they will start buying stocks to prop up the values? You're always invested in something, whether it be cash, land, resources, equity, guns, food, water, etc. If you think a handful of large corporations will continue to gain power, it might make sense to pay 25x.
Except I don't know if I'd classify this as a bubble bursting this is a true blue recession driven by the pandemic.

A bubble would be something that was artificially propped like 2008 fraud with cdos this just seems like simple economics at play to me.

All code is "functional" and yet creative and copyrighted. While the function of a quicksort routine — namely the quick sort algorithm — cannot be copyrighted (although it could be patented), any specific implementation of it in code is copyrighted, just as a news event isn’t copyrighted, but each and every written report of it is. That this particular expression is creative is also obvious from the fact that while the Swift standard library performs similar functions, its expression is completely different (and saying that the thousands of choices that went into the design, took years, and are unique among other runtime libraries are "trivial" is just factually false). That the function of declaring code is required for compatibility, and therefore copying it might be fair-use, in this particular case, Google did not create a compatible implementation nor intended to (although maybe they could have other valid arguments for fair use).

The problem with the interpretation of "copyrighting APIs" is that there can be many different kinds of interfaces. Some of them are code, some are algorithms, and some are physical. This case is not about copyrighting the concept of an interface, but of the copyright of about 11KLOC. Analogies that do not involve the copying of hundreds of pages of a copyrighted work are irrelevant.

I am not saying that we should or should not exempt declaring code from the copyright of the work it is part of; I am also not saying that fair-use should or should not apply to Google's copying. I am saying that the statement that this case is about "copyrighting APIs" in general is biased, because the case here is peculiar and extreme. I cannot think of any other similar case in the history of software, and the number of cases that are somewhat similar can probably be counted on one hand (we've certainly never seen copying of this magnitude).

For more details and discussion of this actual case (rather than a general issue which may or may not be pertinent), see former Sun executive Scott McNealy's amicus brief: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/18-956/133505/2020... It is of particular interests because it actually talks about the specifics.

This is how he starts:

> This case is about Google’s unlicensed copying of approximately 11,000 lines of Java SE code written and copyrighted by Sun/Oracle

and then goes in more detail into what was copied, the creativity involved, the common understanding in the industry that at the very least these particular APIs (regardless of others) were protected etc.

So before people start hypothesizing whether and how this case could generalize, I think they better understand the specifics.

In Java, declaring code specifies complex class resolution, loading and initialization algorithms.
Industrial grade is the key word here. They have there customers, so they don't need "cheap" PR. They are specialized in chemical plants, usually professional organizations know there limits (conditions apply). Plus, the WHO and others have these models and tools as well.

Why wo don't have anything from these bodies is a different story, so.
I think and hope that's less likely, but it would still be bad for the markets in the short term either way. I don't think that failing to test people in order to artificially reduce "the numbers" will keep the markets afloat for much longer.
The argument could be made that if you do not have 10+ years to wait, you should not be investing large amounts in the stock market at any time. So now would probably even be a good time to do so, but of course, nobody knows.
One of the prevailing ideas in several theories of financial market agent behaviour is that crashes occur when all or at least most participants’ horizons synchronise, leading to everybody acting on the same information uniformly. This is likely what is occurring: probably most investors are focussing on the here-and-now and thus on stopping their losses and/or reducing their exposure to risk.

I've pulled off some pretty great trades in my time, for example, I had the conviction that the Sprint merger was going to get approved and I bought Sprint stock in January, nearly doubled my money.

The only problem is that I've only got $5k to invest, especially if I'm maintaining a healthy rainy day fund. And I'm not throwing all $5k into a single stock. That's why I'm not on a gold plated yacht.

The truth is you could be a financial genius but if you grew up in a middle class family and have basically zero inherited wealth, you're not going to have the money to invest.

I have alot of unvested RSUs and my reasoning is that if 2008 repeats itself, there is a real chance I may get laid off and lose my RSUs. I donate most of my income and I have very little savings.

To protect myself, when I see sharp dips in the markets like this, I usually buy a put (option) just in case 2008 repeats itself. I bought a put last week for 2k (CMG) and now its worth 18k. If the markets keep falling, I may end up with around 30k, which is enough for me to pay my mortgage for a year and a half.

Maybe someone finds this helpful, maybe not. Be safe, play responsibly.
Ecb is flooding market with money again. The dynamics of all this liquidity sloshing around is really hard to grasp.

My personal guess is that there'll be two main ways end users use WASM apps. One will be the browser naturally, but with a push for PWAs. If you go to an app URL and like it, you can "install" it from the browser menu. This isn't WASM specific and sites like Twitter and Instagram already do this, but I suspect we'll see a bigger push from players like Google to make WASM PWAs.

The other main way will likely be "native" apps that are based on Electron or a similar framework. Electron is already Chromium based so WASM support will likely be included in Electron (if it's not already) and devs will make "native" apps that way that are downloadable, or installable from OS app stores.
Great project, thanks for posting it!

How did you calculate the appropriate laser lens and standoff?

Is the CS mount lens's focal length important, or is there no need for a sharp image at all distances?

Why use one CS-mount lens and one M12 lens, rather than two M12 lenses?

An "example" would be a source saying that these people were not pushed out, or that equivalent roles were created and re-filled during/after the "restructuring".

That has not yet been provided in this subthread. GGP's post is non sequitur nonsense—all he's doing is throwing out the "liberal" slur that's so popular with Reddit quarantine zone denizens and hoping nobody on either "side" notices that what he's saying doesn't make an ounce of sense.

Interest rates are still low. This is not yet the financial crash and depression that will happen when the bond market pops.

Still, it was the first time when lowering interest rates didn't have a huge effect on the market, so the signs are there.
Yep, not a Googler, but as a hardware person, I have been preparing my "on-the-go lab equipment" in case my workplace gets shut down.

My main concern is that my good gear is all at my workspace, so even if I have the hardware device I'm working on with me, I can't troubleshoot it unless I have my gear.
The statistical question is whether you would have done those exercises regardless of whether you consulted a physiotherapist. If you would have done those free weights exercises anyway, then it's unreasonable to credit the physio with your recovery; if you wouldn't have done them of your own accord, then it's reasonable to credit the physio even though the precise causal mechanism wasn't what we would expect. We're not trying to address philosophical questions, but find out whether particular treatments have a meaningful effect.

True, but we aren't near the peak. Most likely, you don't need to wait 5-10 years for stocks to go above the current price range. You might need to wait longer for it to return the peak, I agree.

Holy heck, this is amazing.

I'll second other people that I would love to see more of the design and planning that went into this.
I'm going to recycle advice I gave earlier this week [1] and say it's way too premature to consider this a buying opportunity. Short term dips followed by recoveries are the hallmarks of a bull market. We're now clearly in bear market territory. In a bear market, you need to be wary of "dead cat bounces" ie a short term rally followed by a steeper decline.

In 2008 this bear market lasted well over a year.

If you're already in the market, well you're kind of stuck now. Who knows how much further it will fall or even if it will? If anyone knew that, they'd be rich.

But this, as always, is a question of probabilities. In the short term there seems to be way more downside than upside potential. As much as it may have fallen in the last month, we're only now really getting back to the long term mean. Typically, during a market correction, the market oversells so further drops are entirely possible, even likely. Another 10-20% drop is (IMHO) completely realistic.

The last pandemic was the spanish flu which lasted a year, I think the markets will have recovered within a year or two.
I'm not saying someone should throw a model with 100 parameters and say it's the truth. But you could incrementally build up a model for questions like "should we close schools and when", refining it step by step and getting a range of outcomes, a probability distribution. Sure, the precision is still limited, but it's much, much better than how the discussion looks today: "oh, our government decided to close all schools for the next two weeks, I guess that buys us a couple of days, so we're maybe no longer 3 weeks behind Italy, but 4". Because that's the level of the discussion on the smarter end.

My point is: we have the tooling necessary to talk about this problem better, more accurately, more precisely, in real-time, and to cover more angles simultaneously - which would lead to better decisions. But we're not using it. At least not publicly.

(This is a part of a general issue of mine, that we absolutely suck at having any kind of data-based discussion; best what we do is exchange badly made charts and context-free data points. We should be exchanging and discussing whole dynamic models. But I suppose this wider issue can wait until we're done with the coronavirus mess.)
There are a couple of reasons you want a “quickly spun up” framework. First it shows the API is thought through / not complicated. If it takes hours for you to add a basic route the framework was overengineered. The second is hiring. Rarely will you find devs with all the experience you require, so you’ll have to train. Making things overly complicated increases the cost of your devs, increases training time, and generally just slows you down.

So I completely and wholeheartedly disagree. Frameworks should be as simple as they can be.

That‘s what “speeding up” in a 1/r potential means, you move to a higher energy orbit, which happens to be longer and slower. Classical physics can be weird, too.
> It sometimes feels like we're very hung up on our traditional tools.

We absolutely are. I think I spent over a decade hoping for an extremely-low-latency pen-based note taking solution to show up to replace my use of pen and hardcover notebooks. If anything, I was romanticizing the notion of replacing a simple, inexpensive tool with expensive technology.

We're pretty close to that now with the iPad Pros, but since I've been remote for several years now, I've given up on that idea of a stylus based tablet solution altogether. These days, my preference is to use a live-conversion Markdown editor. If I was still in the Apple ecosystem, I guess I'd pay for a Bear subscription, but I'm on Windows, so I've made do with Dropbox Paper (I didn't expect to like it, but it's been surprisingly good for my use case).

> Adding some VR based training scenarios for the military, or emergency services, police, whatever, looks at frst glance interessting enough to at least dig deeper into. But no interesst. No idea why

Military acquisition cycles can last for years, which slows down tech intro.

Interaction with the wider training tech ecosystem is also a factor. For example, course authors need good VR environment editors to create usable scenarios, scoring tools, etc. They would have to be able to import their large libraries of existing vehicle and weapon models. Anecdotally, it can take an hour of scenario editing to get a minute of usable scenario

One route in would be if an existing vendor of military sims (e.g. [0]) added a VR plug-in to an existing COTS sim already used widely by the military, and the military users then got a funding opportunity (e.g. a new platform with a fresh training budget) to enhance their existing kit.

> Is now a bad time to put 20% of my savings into the market?

You're getting a lot of bad advice here, but you also haven't given us the full picture.

First question is: What is your goal? Are you planning to invest this money for retirement and not withdraw it for several decades? Or do you expect to need these funds for some major purchase in the next 5 years? The answer to that question will greatly influence the correct course of action.

Second, what's your risk tolerance? Most people don't know their own risk tolerance until they see their portfolio drop 20% like this. If you invested today and the market dropped another 20%, would you be able to sleep at night? Would you be tempted to panic sell to limit your losses? Would you check your balance so much all day every day that you can't perform well at your job? If so, you should start slower with something like investing 1% of your savings per week. Do not invest that entire 20% all at once.
The majority of individual investors should be dollar cost averaging (investing the same amount of money at consistent intervals) over the long haul. This pandemic isn't impacting my strategy and i'm staying the course. I'm not aiming to retire for 20 years so this will (hopefully) just be a blip in my long-term returns.
Interest rates are still low and all of the return-seeking money that pumped up asset prices in the first place is still out there. Why shouldn't we expect it to go right back to seeking returns as soon as this is over? (Remember, stock market crashes leave both the number of dollars and the number of shares unchanged. They just redistribute the dollars.)
these numbers don't mean anything anymore. there is no more systematic testing going on
One chilling comment, among many, from the doctors in Italy, posted here a couple of days ago were that stroke victims were not being treated in any way. Basically they were on their own. A condition that was at least manageable, with intensive therapy, was now left untreated and the suffers had severe disability as the only outcome, if they survived.
More likely because there is a week-long winter school holiday in the latter part of February, and many people went to skiing resorts in Switzerland and Austria, transferring through airports in Italy. Those that did are generally young and in good health, so there hasn't been any fatalities yet. In the beginning, all cases could be traced to someone who had been travelling. Now we have internal proliferation, and the largest cities have ordered social distancing/partial lock-down (cancelling of events, closing of schools).
