Yes, it was real.

Keep in mind that it was also used as a significant contributing factor to replace a lot of major legacy IT systems (especially accounting systems) at big organisations (a lot of SAP rollouts in the late 90s had Y2K as part of the cost justifications).

The company I worked for ran a Y2K Remediation "Factory" for mainframe software - going through and change to 4 digits, checking for leap year issues, confirming various calculations still worked.

I worked on a full system replacement that was partially justified on the basis of (roughly) we can spend 0.3x and do y2k patches, or spend X and get a new system using more recent technologies and UIs.

There were still problems, but they were generally in less critical systems as likely major systems had been tested, and were remediated or replaced.

Keep in mind that there was often much more processing that occurred on desktop computers (traditional fat client) - so lots of effort was also expended on check desktop date rollover behaviour. Once place I worked at had to manually run test software on every computer they had (10's of thousands) because it needed reboots and remote management was more primitive (and less adopted) at the time.
Python2 itself has been sunset, and Python3 the language is not compatible. It doesn't seem outrageous to me to require developers to use a new SDK if they want to migrate their apps to Python3 -- and that's optional too, since Python2 remains supported on GAE.
You say that the problem is overblown but then go on to talk about the dangerous effects the problem has on discourse. Not only are the bots spewing out propaganda, but as you say they destroy the trust we have in each other which further builds the mindset of "Anything I believe in is true and anything else must be bots". In my mind this makes the bot problem very bad.

The problem is made even worse when you have non bot accounts that spam out low effort bad faith posts like "If climate change is real then explain x". It takes 2 seconds to post that but 10 minutes to properly reply. And when you look in to the post history of these accounts you can see they have been given the same answer repeatedly but ignore it because their objective is not to have a discussion or to learn, their objective is to waste peoples time and create doubt.
Options are worth an intrinsic value (the current stock price vs the strike price of the contract) and an extrinsic value (the implied volatility of the stock).

Large or sudden moves increase the volatility greatly which can result in the extrinsic value being multiples more than the intrinsic, and this is what leads to the wild profit capability of options.

At the same time, without those moves, or the lack of any umoves, that value can also rapidly decrease and leads to those options being quickly worthless.
There’s not much evidence that the extreme “lockdown” decisions made by China had a significant impact on the outcome either way.

Social distancing, contact tracing and isolation of the sick work well, and that was almost certainly the critical portion of the response.

For example, this paper makes a solid argument that the travel ban delayed the epidemic across china by only a few days:

Scientists Discover Protein in a Meteorite
I personally worked in Y2K support at the time on PC hardware. Most motherboards we tested worked, but some needed BIOS updates and one model needed a new BIOS fix which didn't exist. We swapped out the bad motherboards, updated software, and had no problems.

In the UK, there were some medical devices (my memory says dialysis machines) that malfunctioned over the issue.

There is an important lesson about the behavior of the media in this. They whipped out people into a survivalist, doomsday prepper frenzy over an issue that could be solved simply by updating BIOS, software, and/or hardware.

With that said, the effort was very expensive because so much software and hardware needed to be audited at every company.

No, "we" didn't blow anything. Plenty of us have been preparing for this for well over a month. And now, you want taxpayers, savers, the conscientious, and the prepared to bail out the people who were buying TSLA at $800 and selling VIX with a 10-handle with a pandemic on our doorstep, all while name-calling those of us who bothered to read the research "crazy"?

No, let them all blow up. They deserve to soak in their margin calls.
It is possible you are right. IIRC, 17% of those tested were positive in Italy. That's a very high percentage. Very likely the actual infected number is much higher.

> Can you find an error in her paper?

Sure, just one you say? In Ch. 2 §1 Mortenson, MD tries to derive the "mean energy per oscillation".
She refers to the dimensionless scalar "N" as the number of "waves" the photon is comprised of.

Not only doesn't that make any sense whatsoever, since a photon can only have a single frequency, and is hence described by a single wave. She also introduces a "unit" that doesn't exist - namely the "osc" (=oscillation), which is DIMENSIONLESS, i.e. it's doesn't have a physical representation and therefore cannot be unit...

She then continues to fail to apply the most basic dimensional analysis and I basically stopped right there.

It's a bunch of hogwash and esoteric pseudo-science, sorry.

What happened in Wuhan when there weren't enough test kits and hospital beds
I posted something similar to this on the last k-related thread that came up, but new responses and perspectives are always nice:

Lots of the discussion about the disadvantages of k/q/other APLs seem to revolve around its syntax and mental model. If said barriers were removed (e.g., if the relative obscurity of the syntax and semantics were not an issue and you could assume that you/your team/anyone who looks at your code is familiar), when would I not want to use k/q/APL/etc.?

GC'd languages may not be good for latency/memory-sensitive programs. C/C++ may not be good for reliability/security-sensitive programs. Ruby/Python/Javascript may have performance issues. Haskell may have issues around predicting resource usage. Lisp may have issues around being too expressive.

What issues may I run into that would make k/q/etc. not a good choice?

I think this becomes even clearer if you look at what the major recent experimental results in physics are.

The two that come to mind are gravitational waves and the Higgs Boson.

Gravitational waves were observed by LIGO and Virgo. These observatories were built in 1993/1994, but did not observe a gravitational wave until 2015 (many have been observed since then).

VIRGO costs ~10mil Euro/year to operate and is staffed by over 300 people.

LIGO had an initial budget of $395 million in 1994, with a $200million overhaul in 2015.

The Higgs Boson was detected using the Large Hadron Collider. The LHC began in 1995, and would not discover the Higgs until 2012. The LHC had a construction cost of $4.4 billion, with an annual operating budget of $1billion.

Most of the discoveries of the 20th centuary did not require anywhere near this scale of experiment. There is still some room to grow here (more powerful colliders and more sensitivy gravitational observatories are being planned), but fundamental physisics seems to be fast approaching the limits of our current engineering capabilities; and may need to enter a quite period while it waits for the more applied sciences to catch up. Or, worse, the laws of physicis end up being such that the "next step" of experiments is simply outside the range of what we could conceivably build.

I’m not writing drivers or OS components. Services and command-line tools. Go has a bunch of stuff in standard library to make that easier. My experience is that these tools are a bit rougher to write in Rust, due to the additional decisions (which third-party libraries) I have to make wrt command line parsing, HTTP, etc. Rust’s ecosystem reminds me a bit of NPM or Haskell in that way. Go reminds me of Python in that the decisions are easier or have lower impact.

> There's nothing 'punk' about it.

To state the obvious, others disagree. Here's how the "manifesto" page linked from the OP [1] puts it:

> The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction

I also tend to avoid writing many classes (in Python). Jack Diederich has a great video called Stop Writing Classes:

It's about Python, but the observation can apply to several languages. Pithy quote:

"I hate code and I want as little of it as possible in our product."
I am. I went through nexus because I travel a lot. For various reasons both CBP, DOJ, State, and other countries already have fingerprints and photos of me. There was no net loss in my case so it was worth it.

Gold is generally not free to store. If anything, it is one of the more expensive things to store safely.

Also, if someone handed you a shiny yellow object saying it's gold, you'd still need to verify it with a chemical or physical test requiring a bunch of paraphernalia, much like the cryptographic proof required for bitcoin (requiring, in turn, the internet, a computer etc).

Not saying that bitcoin is a great asset, but it shares common problems with gold, albeit in a more "virtual" domain.

Here's a key paragraph from Anandtech's recent article on ARM in AWS:

> Overall, I checked three different compiler setups: A freshly compiled GCC 9.2.0 release, Arm’s Allinea Studio Compiler 20 package which comes with both Arm’s closed source LLVM and Flang variants as well as a pre-compiled version of GCC 9.2.0, and Marvell’s branch of LLVM and Flang.

Note the phrases "ARM's closed source LLVM" and "Marvell's branch of LLVM". That's why GCC is still critical. Because LLVM is already suffering from the fragmentation and proprietary forks that BSD has always suffered from.
Agree with this. In administrative law (the principles of which apply here) certain words have technical interpretations that are very different from the colloquial meaning. "Shall" is one of those words - and I too would interpret this as an obligation.

This is very exciting.

To a computer scientist, superdeterminism seems like the most elegant solution to most of the current problems in physics. But it has always been firmly out of the mainstream, perhaps because it runs directly counter to our human experience. Gerard t'Hoofts framing of the universe as a cellular automaton (https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1548) is relatively intuitive, but still only a rough sketch. Hopefully, Hossenfelder and Palmer now publicly arguing for superdeterminism will recruit some more bright minds to fleshing out these models into workable theories.

Actually the way to settle differences between the branches is to use the third branch, the Judicial branch. Congress takes them to supreme/federal court, which decides if the subpoenas are valid and would then enforce the subpoenas and the executive branch then has to comply. Basic checks and balances.

You could consider this. https://ferret-lang.org/
Congrats on launching. Some really fascinating ideas. Although I suspect my biggest concern would be, the consumer electronics space is not fun to be in.

I'm curious if you've considered targeting small business at all, that maybe had enough flexibility that consumers could adopt. I'm a board member of my condo corporation (HOA), and our staff can struggle quite alot with scrubbing through security camera footage to find events, mainly damage to the property. So having a system that can say load all the video of a vehicle passing through a garage door for the past two days would save a ton of time. Of the feature you've described, on when something goes missing or damage appears to the build would save lots of time.

Similar to alot of the sentiment in this post, because its monitoring of public spaces, I likely wouldn't accept a cloud based solution. It's just difficult to vet that companies are doing the right things and have a good security posture, despite privacy policies. Simple cloud storage like an S3 bucket would probably be fine.

Anyways, best of luck on the launch.
That seems the obvious explaination.

These go hand in hand. In the US we cannot slow the spread because we refuse to test anyone who doesn't need acute care or who doesn't have documented contact with travelers or foreign nationals. The research from Helen Chu's lab at University of Washington shows that this means we missed the start of community transmission entirely in Washington.

Here, there are health care workers who can't get a test! They deal with people with significant health problems every day and could be spreading it all over -- but because they didn't travel, they can't get a test.
