Every government has to have e weather service since it's vital to agro, fishing, daily life etc. But they can release the API or whatever that doesn't drive out of business other weather companies.

They are trade rules: for example, if USA subsidizes Boeing they can be sued and fined in international trade courts, since it hurts, say German companies. (Chinese companies, Airbus etc are routinely accused of having an unfair advantage, due to government subsidies.)

You should look into VW's scandal and check how much they got fined. Last time I checked it was multiple billions. Something like 10%+ of their annual profit.

The only thing you might get away with is bribing a cop for a speeding ticket in some rural part of an eastern EU country. Anything else will eventually be discovered and you'll be fined accordingly.

I could understand your personal point of view if you live east of Poland though.
Thankfully so because this likely forced officials hands to take stronger action. Unfortunately, sick people, including those with direct COVID-19 exposure, are still being refused tests:

But, uh, a single world experience is trivially compatible with many worlds — in every world, the human is in a pure state that corresponds to a normal human experience of continuously living in a single world. If we don't require the conscience to be a single supernatural entity that flows along the timeline, selecting a world to visit at every branching point, then... that's it? Nothing else that still needs to be explained?

If you dig into the version history of Angband[0] you will find that it was derived from the Moria[1] code, which was released in 1983. So depending on what your concept of "origin" is it might or might not be older.

Not for long. You could probably sustain that for a 3-5 weeks. I live in an area of upstate NY where this would be possible in 1918.

Today, no sawmills, no regional tool and supply manufacturers, no regional raw materials. Iron ore from the lake Champlain area could be smelted in the Albany area and made into nails in many places.

Today, you’re 100% dependent on diesel and open roads to Newark, the I-81 corridor and rail traffic from the west for food. 75% of the regional produce producers of gone. Most (50-70%) of whatever is left of dairy production will be driven into bankruptcy this year.

There are a lot of amazing fancy services available... for a fee. We log billions of lines a year and use GrayLog because the other services are cost prohibitive.
Companies often have the monopoly on repair for their products because they don’t make the parts and diagnostic tools available. Yes, they ask money for repair, but there also plenty of repairs they flat out refuse to do. Apple refuses to repair phones with water damage for example. Repairs that repair shops might be happy to do, if they had the access to parts.
Yes, some of the kits had faulty negative controls. This article is about a lab that developed their own test for their own research on respiratory disease spread though. They didn't use the CDC's tests or the CDC's protocol and that's why they received a cease and desist even though they've probably saved many lives not only in Washington but throughout the country by getting people to see the magnitude of the problem.
six hit 1.0 in 2011, py3.0 was released in 2008.

The point is that the whole py2-3 change was not incremental enough. (We started an ecommerce project right around 3.4, and many, many libs were in shambles, no official py3 support, just random forks on GitHub. The whole Python ecosystem was in a rather sad state. No mypy, no pipenv/poetry/dephell.)

All the gashing of teeth spent on the useless flamewars about py2/py3 could have been spent on other things.

I thought diet intervention is the primary treatment prior to dialysis. With the goal of prolonging the time until mechanical intervention or replacement becomes necessary. But I've never heard of diet alone taking someone off dialysis and a quick search for papers on the subject shows mostly positive associations of a reduction in protein on kidney function but nothing suggesting a magic bullet.

*edit To add, I have a couple of associates at my office approaching kidney failure. They're all on diet interventions to reduce protein and potassium. Not sure how the potassium interacts with it but I'm not a doctor either.
Not much better here: You're only tested for the virus if you had contact with someone who has previously been tested positive. That's the policy. A colleague comes back from an conference (embedded systems, international attendees,...) and develops symptoms the next week - but because no-one at the conference was a confirmed positive case, he's not tested (just sent home, no quarantine). I'm now also in home office, but developed symptoms on the last day at the office (not saying it's corona, more likely my slight cold just spiked randomly).

I understand it's unlikely and not everyone who has a cold needs to be tested [-> no need to test me], there is just not enough capacity. But missing a single case like these conference-goers wreaks real havoc when combined with that policy... Well, at least the number of infected in the state stayed at 14/1M the last few days. Not sure how that's possible with exponential spread and the first general containment measures only starting next week (though today it "finally" increased to 29).

Thanks for the reply. So, careful application of mapped types and removing the ability to type a property as `foo: bar | undefined`. I understand this is desirable a lot of times especially if you can’t affect the format of what’s being parsed, but I’m not sure this is unambiguously better.

FWIW it’s made my life easier to say the keys will always be there, but the values are possibly undefined. Less room for ambiguous interpretation.

Airbnb doesn't have _that_ big a problem with costs; not like Uber, Wework, etc.

They were profitable in 2017 and 2018, and have been for most of their existence, unlike their fellow unicorns.

I also don't think staff is that big a cost for them; again, they're not like Uber, having to spend gazillions on both a huge on-the-ground workforce and bottomless-pit R&D for autonomous driving.

Unlike their unicorn peers, they're a fundamentally a very strong company, that has temporarily gone into deficit to accelerate growth leading up to their IPO, but they're still in good shape.

The coronavirus is an unexpected hit, but they'll fare much better than the rest of the travel industry.
Citations require studies. Studies require funding. Funding requires institutional support. These kinds of accusations against institutions are not fundable; does that mean they're not worth discussing?

Speculation is better than silence because there are gaps in the system which can easily be exploited by institutions to serve their own interests.
Maybe I agree with every word you said.
here's James Mattis's take on the difference between civilian courts and military courts:

> ...remember that the Uniform Code of Military Justice is established under the U.S. Constitution, because our framers knew that those we give weapons to in this country have to be governed by a different set of regulations than the population at large.

> And under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which was the latest in a history of these rules that came out in the late 1940s and modified often since then, the defense is actually stronger. The defendants' rights are actually stronger in a military court than in a civilian court. Just read F. Lee Bailey's book, "The Defense Never Rests." And as one of the most aggressive defense counsels in our history, he said he would rather a court--defend--defend in a military court than a civilian court in his book.

> And the reason is you have more rights in order to prevent the military court system becoming what you and I would call a "kangaroo court." So, you give the defense more rights. And when that court acts, you--for most of us in the military who have an intimate knowledge of it, we have a great deal of confidence that justice has been adhered to, in the true sense of what justice is all about toward a person accused of a crime by the government.

I was a really big fan of Cyberpunk in the late 80's and early 90's but looking at the genre now... well it hasn't aged well, in my brain at least.

Solarpunk and Afrofuturism, seem like great evolutions of Cyberpunk and I was really happy to discover them. However, much like back in 1988 when I couldn't find enough Cyberpunk to suit my wants, I've not found a whole lot of deliberate and well fashioned Solarpunk stuff.

I did find this and it seems like a good place to begin:

Who knows but it works if you want to keep the kidneys you have as healthy as possible best to change your diet...is it going to hurt you to change your diet from fatty American diet to an uber healthy one? Also and curious why is this being downvoted ... I am telling my personal story to help those who want to make their kidneys healthier too.

Again, its not just me many, many similar success stories seen in that FB group and everywhere on the Internet for those who revolutionize their diet.

Overall not sure why some doctors aren't onboard ... but personally Im going to follow the data of 1,000 success stories vs. three doctors. Crowd data is more powerful then a few doctor's who were trained in medicine vs. nutrition.

Where is here? The Danish government has moved from testing people with symptoms and people returning from high risk areas, to just testing people with symptoms. And encouraging those with mild symptoms to avoid calling hotlines, rather focusing on those who have severe symptoms, since the government no longer believes it can contain the spread.

I love it, that statement so perfectly captures how pg has stayed true to his roots and convinctions.

Having read numerous articles and books he's written on Lisp, and the recently published source of his Lisp dialect (written in itself of course) - it's a fascination/obsession spanning decades.

I respect that "long-sightedness" and a kind of dogged determination, for better or worse, a conscious or natural inclication to persist in pursuing important truths - even if "very few people agree with you" on them.

I made the opposite experience. Yes, some bars and restaurants profit. But the there's much more to an economy than food. And other services are rarely used.
Yes and probably make the most sense as .Net has no "undefined" value. If the dictionary has a the key with a null value it returns null, but no key throws.

With generic dictionaries (which everyone uses now days) you have TryGetValue which is a little weird since it uses a out parameter but pretty natural after c# 7 inline out params.
Special relativity is essentially an explanation of why the speed of light is a constant regardless of how you measure it. That is, if you're in a train moving at half the speed of light relative to the ground, and someone fires a laser in the same direction as the train from the last station you passed through, that laser beam will move towards you at at the speed of light. If you fire a laser back, it will reach the station at the same time as the laser from the station reaches you (as seen by an observer in the station).

This makes no sense unless the speed of light is a fundamental physical constant, so that motion in general depends on the speed of light, which is what special relativity postulates.

Now there are ways to have a special kind of non-locality that do not violate special relativity - you can have phenomena that happen at infinite speed, but only if they do not carry mass or energy or any information at all. The common interpretation of wave-function collapse is an example of such a phenomenon.

I'd also note that the famous E=mc^2 is also a limit on speed, since kinetic energy (mv^2/2) is part of the total energy of an object.
Of course you should be allowed that. It's just that no one will be allowed to sell you one.
The ""deluxe"" (ie far more complicated) version of this might be to use ETW, which is one of those extremely Microsoft APIs that's both powerful but obtuse and can only really be learned from the one blogger providing examples. Which in this case is the amazing series of posts from https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2015/09/24/etw-central/

ETW would also work in those rare situations where SendMessage() doesn't, such as from a device driver, and can more easily be logged.
The dichotomy in how we handle privacy is glaring. It grates my nerves that a group of research scientists are told not to do vital testing on swabs they already have to determine the spread of what would become, in a few weeks, a global pandemic. Yet, private companies such as Exactis, tech companies such as Google, stores and banks across the country, can freely collect, exchange, and profit from our personal information without consequence!
As I commented in another article (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22264553), every PC descends from the original IBM 5150 from the 1980s, which gives the PC a common base which phones never had.
Apple does not allow the companies that make chips from their laptops to also sell those chips for people that want to repair this laptops. So this repair people need to "illegally" obtain the chips from someone at the factory.

Apple also threatens you with lawyers if you host or share schematics for repairing products. The new repair partner program from Apple is also a joke and created to appear they are trying to fix the problem.

When this is over, there will be a list of heroes who helped make this less bad than it could have been. A lot of scientists are going to be on that list - including Dr. Chu, the people who sequenced and characterized the virus, the people who developed medications and vaccines, etc. Some will be governors and mayors and health directors who also defied the national government to take stronger measures than that government was recommending. Still others will be doctors and epidemiologists on the front lines, physical therapists helping people recover, industrial engineers and logistics specialists who increase supply of necessities, etc.

I regret that I don't know many of the names, even those who have already made noteworthy contributions. (Feel free to add some.) My real point is that, as we stew in our collective fear/anxiety, we should also take solace in the fact that this situation is also bringing out the absolute best in a great many people. Think of them.

This is beyond me. So if I open a pay-to-visit park in Germany, can I get the courts to close down all open-access parks? This isn't natural competition, more like subsidizing by faking scarcity. What's more, the public sector should (contrary to this development) provide more internet services and resources: that's a good thing. Their financial incentives in many cases are better than the private sector's. And, they should do it for free where it makes sense, like when you're already indirectly financing the public weather department.
Im not on dialysis im saying how Ive made my kidneys healthier then they have ever been. From 55 kidney function to 80 (in 7 months) and increasing.

Assuming high-tech early adopters continue to buy new devices as they are released, repairability and recyclability can still make a large difference to the secondary market for refurbished and reused devices.

If devices are locked down and become 'bricks' once their original owner is finished with them -- then they're unable to provide any more value.

Alternatively if they can be erased, upgraded and continue to function -- and ideally share components with other devices -- then the device and production cost continue to generate value.

We have a problem with quantifying and justifying that 'second-order value' since we often think only of the initial consumer's payment (be it one-time or recurring).
Lol the US president is censoring scientists now. What a time to be alive.
Here is my advice, based on many years managing a remote ops team across the continent: you do not need another tool!

The good old email and phone is just enough, providing you trust the people you work with (if you don't then this is on you as a manager an no tool will help you)

Ask to be cced on the the important problems/projects and have 1 team meeting for few hours Wednesday afternoon, so everyone can share not only work related stuff, but encourage the team to talk about Life, the Universe and Everything... Get to know the people who work with you, have all hands meeting for few days every year, go out for drinks ...

Have their backs, no netter what, even if you risk yours...

Those simple steps should be enough and have served me well over the years, because, really noting beats working form home...
Replace them for the few people who can understand how to use those services. It's another example of the divide between people who know how to use non-default software and those who don't; you can see it with adblocking software, where the people who use uBlock Origin have a markedly better experience than those who "get on the Internet" by clicking something and don't know what a web browser is other than it being "the Internet" for them.

Most people are that way about most things. Nobody's an expert in everything. Even before "specialization of labor" was officially invented, the people in the Kalahari had no idea how to hunt seals and the Polynesians had no idea how to hunt buffalo or bison. The only way to keep from being taken advantage of is through regulations.
