This isn't about the stock market, it's about the banking system and bond market. A side effect is the market feeling better that the banking system isn't going to collapse. However, the market will do whatever it does, this move wasn't about the stock market.

I've commented to this effect maybe 4 times now, does no one remember 2008/2009? Does no one remember the credit markets freezing? Forget about the stock market, it's child play compared to what would unfold.

Honestly, I feel like the world leaders' confused, belated, contradictory, and deceitful response to COVID is still miles better than their response to climate change.

Just imagine if climate change today were being met by the kinds of panicked direct interventions, quick decisions, and money being released the way is (fortunately) happening for COVID.

The problem is that climate change is still more like the proverbial frog in hot water, while COVID is more like a frying pan.

Put options writers need to post cash collateral to cover their obligations or go on equivalent margin (which will be monitored and enforced by their broker) in order to sell you a put.

If this fails, there's still Options Clearing Corporation managing $120B+ collateral and acting as ultimate guarantor for option contracts.
I hope this is sarcasm, because I surely don’t intend to die of this virus or the consequences of this pandemic simply to benefit you. If the government won’t help me survive, I’ll do what I need to do to survive myself. There’s your “personal responsibility” right there.
> In hot or cold weather, transit emissions savings may be more than offset by increased HVAC usage at home.

Most people keep on heating/cooling their home while they are at their office; sometimes to a lesser power, sometimes the same all the time. Office which is also heated/cooled (and had to be built one day, often terribly). So with a regular job, your home emits, your office emits at the same time, and the transportation between those emits too (and had to be built).

> AC in American English just means cooling. In China, it usually means an electric air based unit that can cool and heat

Yes, I was using the phrase air conditioner (don’t think I’ve seen a unit in China without heat function) for lack of a better one, but the meaning was hopefully clear given the context.

The AC units mostly cost between 1-3k yuan (just looked up the current prices) so they’re affordable to pretty much all (urban) households, even in the poorer regions...

AFAICR commonly seen AC units can usually heat up to something like 25-28 degrees Celsius (except ones that have been sucking up a lot of dust and haven’t got a proper cleaning in a while, in which case they’d be less effective) so they’re okay.

Another thing: Yangtze actually runs through Jiangsu, with the wealth concentrated mostly in the south. I’m not sure where they start to have central heating — the cities bordering Shandong probably do, but Nanjing (sitting on top of Yangtze) and southern cities don’t have it, that I’m sure about.

Please consider making this work without the cloud (but still accessible from the cloud if wanted of course).

You say you are selling camera hardware, so could selling a RPi or Google Coral board with pre-trained models be feasible? Nicely packaged up with a nice case etc - people don't need to know it is a RPi in a box etc. Store images/video locally with optional "cloud backup" as an paid-for add on?

I have had basically everything in my house shutdown before when my ISP had a "maintenance event" - could not turn lights on, could not use a baby monitor, could not turn the heating on etc etc because everything wanted to talk to the cloud even though my lights and heating are physical things inside my house.

Apart from that, some nice online integration would be good - IFTTT, MQTT (bonus points for local broker support to avoid cloud), and a public API etc so people can wire it up to their home if they want (e.g. unrecognised face at door? => turn on lights, dog on lawn? => turn on sprinklers etc etc)

Critical thinking and asking questions should be welcome and reinforced in the public sphere to improve our collective intelligence and buy-in for hand washing, proper respiratory etiquette, etc. towards containing and eradicating this pandemic, among a multitude of many other greater societal good reasons.
This is all dumb. saying this is unstoppable is a misconception. China reduced cases. South Korea and Singapore and Hong Kong and Taiwan have it under control. This is a statistics game, if you manage to reduce infection rate below 1 you win. the faster you respond, less time it takes. it's also clear, that if you could respond patient 0, that would be ideal, and you can prove by induction from here it's always better to act sooner. There is no reason whatsoever that makes it better to stop the spread after it reached 1000 people versus when it reached 10. What works when you have 1000 cases works
just as well for 10.
Leaders Delude Themselves About Disruption
Ask HN: Do you use anomaly detection detection feature in your monitoring tool?
Many monitoring tools like AWS Cloudwatch/ DataDog/ New Relic and others provide some sort of anomaly detection option? For example - Cloudwatch introduced this(https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-cloudwatch-anomaly-detection/) in October last year. DataDog has outlier detection (https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/outlier-detection-algorithms-at-datadog/) algos which one can use.

Do you folks use these features? Why or why not?

If yes, what is the key improvement - does it improve the quality of alerts or reduces false positives?

I had to do some digging, which is frustrating. Proper journalism cites sources (when able to - corroboration is sufficient in some cases). I apologize for not doing my digging before hand.

Here you are:

1) the WHO admits that measures in countries it collects data from are often not taken in a consistent manner. "Monitoring progress is challenging in light of weak health information systems in some countries. Problems such as underreporting and differences between official data and estimates made by international agencies are some of the contributing factors."

2) We have "... anecdotal evidence suggests that countries do not use consistent practices in measuring these data [2] [3]"

I'll have to do more digging. These are hard to find references. There may be a hard copy of [2] at my university's law library.

Question claim in fact, although it is persistently being repeated everywhere constantly, for propaganda purposes. Three of the major private lab companies indicate they'll be at a 10,000 combined per day test capacity before the week is out.

The US doesn't know how many tests have been run in total nationally. A large volume of tests have been distributed to hospitals and private labs around the US, the majority of which do not report their numbers back to a central authority (such as the CDC). That's a failure of centralized reporting and organization, due to the US having dozens of separate healthcare systems which the Feds do not control.

My understanding is that, while you are correct that these emissions are already in the air, they filter themselves out over time, so it's about rates of production vs rates of dismission (for lack of a better word). If we stop all emissions today, the sky will quite literally start clearing up, and thus warming the Earth even more.

Not trying to be too sensationalist, but I believe this is the truth.
it would be incredibly difficult to get data on this. LE is on a budget, and they're not the NSA. In Switzerland for example LE (such as Europol) uses the lab facility from "Kudelski Security" to crack mobile devices and help with forensics. Outsourcing this to a consultancy allows them to hide things like invoices to offsec shops (FinFisher, HackingTeam et al). So this is like a poor-mans NSA where exploits get sold/brokered with these companies who then help compromise the device. Still the budget means that they're using tools which might do all sorts of things. e.g. if you sell off-sec tools you might offer a feature that allows LE to copy (read) things from the device memory/storage.

The problem is that these tools not only allow you to read but actually write to the device. ("if you're a dev working for HackingTeam why on earth would you limit the feature to reading when you can provide r/w access?")

The implication is that it's as easy to plant things on a device as it is to retrieve info. And if you know that the device has 99.9% child porn on it but end up not finding any why not plant something that gets you to court order you desperately need to convict the suspect?

What you're asking for is transparency in a world that is very much opposed to this because they consider themselves the good guys. And the response from them is always: "how dare you?!"

Typically, the other party is required to hold a margin account. If you sell a put for 100 units at $50, and the spot (current) price is $45, you're ($50-$45)*100 = $500 in the red. Your broker requires you in that situation to hold at least $500 (usually more) in cash (or cash-equivalent securities) in your margin account.

If the price dips even more, your broker will ask you to add more money to your margin account quickly, or they will liquidate your position. That means that when you don't keep enough cash to cover the loss, your broker will use the cash in your account to buy a put at $50, effectively zeroing out your position. You lose the money you had in margin account, but you are no longer losing (or gaining) money on market movements.
"Patents were (narrowly) created to _encourage_ the spread of knowledge"

That may have been the language used, but it didn't reflect the reality even of that time.

James Watt had a mate in Westminster, and patents were a novel mechanism for him to stymie competition. It stalled the pace of engine advancement for a couple of decades.

This is described in some detail in an early chapter of /Against Intellectual Monopoly/ (Boldrin/Levine, 2010).
Still, given the market was like Meh, seems like nobody thought it was very useful.

I'm in a similar boat. When I started programming, I always was the smartest guy in the company so I never had a chance to improve from feedback. Last years I'm alone as a programmer and I love it. If someone would criticize my code, that probably would make be very unhappy and I probably will fight that, because every critique I can imagine will be based on subjective factors (of course bugs are objective, but I don't usually write buggy code).

I guess, some people just better left alone as long as they can find someone ready to pay them.

The downside is that I can't really write big projects. My biggest projects are few dozens of thousands of LoC and typical project is few thousands of LoC. They are pretty useful to end-users, though, but participating in some huge project with millions LoC probably would be an interesting experience that I won't encounter.

I've been waiting for something like this (and daydreamed about doing something similar as a hobby) - what's holding me back from ordering immediately:

- How do I hook up an outdoor camera? Mounting instructions? Does it need power? Wifi based? (guessing it will be: "straightfoward instructions", yes, yes, but would still like details)

- A privacy statement at the very least - and ideally privacy from the ground up - perhaps via differential privacy, or maybe you allow users to pay less if they make their unencrypted photos available to your training models. IMHO privacy concerns are what are really holding back smart home tech and keeps me from adopting it.

> I plan to continue paying 2k / month for the next 22 years there's no point paying it off early.

Why? There's some good reasons to pay off a mortgage early:

1. You pay less interest, so you pay less in total. Don't worry about the tax rebate; it's only giving you back maybe 10% of your payments.

2. A mortgage is a loan. Fewer loans means less risk. Your house can't be foreclosed on if it doesn't have a mortgage.

3. Afterwards, you have an extra $2,000 every month, because you're not sending it to the bank. Your expenses (burn rate) goes down, so your savings will last longer if you lose your job.
If you know how to ride the wave, you can still make money.
