But we haven't had a readout on the Chloroquine trials yet. Early results say they are promising. So, it's not a huge leap to say there is a good chance that Hydroxychloroquine is even better (based on in-vitro results) and has a better safety profile.

It's easier to buy Chloroquine online though, than Hydroxychloroquine.

Pretty much what I am thinking. When I use Rust, at the end of the day I will have spent more time with the language instead of my actual task, and I don't see this changing given the rate Rust is still changing. It feels like you have to be a "programming language afficionado" to use Rust properly.

Whereas in Go, there is always only one reasonable way to do a specific task. You almost forget about the language and just get stuff done.

Layman here, but one thing I never understood: if we are to believe everything occurred started in a Big Bang, then why shouldn't we expect everything in the universe to be entangled quantum-mechanically? I feel like I'd be surprised if that weren't the case.

No support for recursive types (which I personally want/need for my project).

The concept of grand juries.

I would actually say it’s almost impossible to compel people to be witnesses. If the witness believes the court to be politically motivated (which you can’t believe it isn’t) then morally of course it’s the correct decision not to testify. I for one wouldn’t give a shit at this point, I’d say just about anything to make these people leave me alone. Another problem with the coercion aspect of this, my testimony couldn’t be trusted...

> attempts to remove complexity cause it to pop up somewhere else

Yes, but sometimes the average brain is better at dealing with certain types of complexity. C++, IMO, puts the complexity in the wrong places. Programming is inherently complex, but it shouldn't be any more so than it needs to be and the complexity should be of the type humans can manage, as much as possible anyway.
this is a really good idea. Give WHO top spot on any virus-related search.
We have heard that specific use case quite a bit. Detecting shoplifting is very hard as there is not much visual distinction between a customer picking up an item to buy and someone shoplifting, at the moment they pick up the item. It would require tracking the person and verifying that they paid for the item which can have a lot of complexities...
My story for discovering that skill is not a single metric was trying describe my c# some time ago, which I learned from a completely different side than most people:

- I've done heavily multithreaded network server running on mono/Linux

- I've implemented faster virtual method dispatch for a custom CIL compiler

- I've never touched popular .NET frameworks or GUI apps

Do I know lots about c#? yes. Would I pass a c# test for an average job? there's a good chance I wouldn't because I don't know "that thing everyone else uses".

I started listing languages in the "what did I achieve in that job" section rather than separate list.
Rust is a terrible language. It has an identity crisis. Thinks it's a high level but also system level language. You cant be both. The unix philosophy always wins. Do one thing well. C is the perfect system lang and Java/C#/Lisp/Python etc are the cream of high level langs.
Wow I made the same thing that I put v1 up a couple days ago.

Surely the testing is a huge factor. Test more people you'll find more people infected, so the fatality rate will get smaller. If you're like the US and test very few you get the huge fatality rates we saw in Washington.

Uh, yes, South Korea testing lots of people shows the overall fatality rate given a functioning medical system. It also allows much better isolation, understanding of the progression of the disease, stopping that progression and so-forth. So sure, the Korea rates don't prove Korea has magic dust that cures the problem but shows the Korean model is effective.

> so you can just write the thing rather than your name for it

I do not find this convincing. Names, especially good names, can convey additional meaning, which is helpful even if the names are longer than what they stand for in terms of raw character count.

One obvious example is that I would often rather see a seven-letter manifest constant than the two-digit decimal literal it represents.

In a similar vein, I would rather have a structure with named fields, than array indices or offsets. employee.department is objectively better than e[13]; a compiler can generate the equivalent of the latter from the former.

In calculations that have many nodes in the syntax tree, it's helpful to break up the tree and give intermediate values names, which remains true even if the names are longer than the intermediate calculations.

A name may longer than what it denotes in raw character count, but in spite of that it may less complex due to its flat structure which only indicates "same or not". If a 13 character identifier stands for some 9 character syntax that denotes a tree with 7 nodes, the identifier is certainly simpler.

Lastly, different expressions that occur in a program can sometimes be very similar to each other. If we do not use names, then these differences can be hard to find. It might seem that identifiers which are longer than what they denote make the problem worse, but that is not necessarily so. Identifiers which are clearly different from each other can be selected for denoting forms that are very similar to each other. If instead of ((<]):) and ((<[):) I write foolyfoo and barlybar, that will be less error prone.

It was more that if my internet connection goes down, are the cameras useless? What if the internet/AWS is just "slow" one day - will the notifications be delayed significantly making any "reactive" integrations pointless/ludicrously delayed? If things can run locally (doing inference for multiple cameras via a single "box" you plug in to your WiFi router etc) then you can be super-fast with IFTTT integrations.

My main line if thought was that I built basically your product for spotting when a cat climbed into my plant pots using ML and a RPi3 - the idea was that when it saw the cat, it would squirt a water pistol at it to scare it away - inference on the RPi 3 was too slow (if I was doing this now I'd use a coral accelerator maybe) and by the time it realised a cat had got into the plant pots, the cat had already taken a shit and left. I worry that your product might suffer from similar end to end latency. Niche use-case? Perhaps. I have Amazon Blink cameras here and the IFTTT integration is delayed by about 30 seconds so by the time you get a notification there is someone at your door it is to late to do anything as they will.have already left/kicked the door in by then etc. Doing all this locally would be super fast

My main concern was not really about privacy - you'll need to cover GRPR if someone from the EU happens to walk into frame of one of your customers' cameras one day in the future anyway (Good luck)
What really seems a mirage to me is mistaking free will for unpredictability. That's like saying that your mind needs to be outside the physical world ("a soul") to make "real decisions", which is absurd.

John Titor made poor predictions. He also said that his timeline could have been different than this one, as a way to justify prediction failures.

He said an organizarion pays him a paycheck then said he lives in a society based on bartering. There are contradictions in his posts.

He also talked about using ancient IBM computers to fix some software bug from the future. Why on earth would you use that rather than a more power efficient/powerful computer?

I flunked an interview in a similar manner several years ago.

Hadn't done Java in around half a decade but the company recruiter said that it's not an issue (they contacted me).

Then I got a 30-minute online coding test that I had to do in Java. Took me a while to remember the syntax but finished the required problem in time and without issues/bugs.

In the end I got dinged for not using the Java Arrays library for copying an array (used a manual for loop)...
Yes, it is outrageous to claim free will is an illusion. As you point out, it contradicts a huge volume of evidence (our perception). However, a significant proportion of physicists believe free will is an illusion. What possibly could have persuaded such a large number of Earth's greatest skeptics?

Cloud AI Platform Pipelines appear to use Kubeflow Pipelines on the backend, which is open source [1] and runs on Kubernetes. The Kubeflow team has invested a lot of time on making it simple to deploy across a variety of public clouds [2], [3].

If Google were to kill it, you could easily run it on any other hosted Kubernetes service.

I haven't used Cloud AI Platform Pipelines, but have spent a lot of time working with Kubeflow Pipelines and its pretty great!

Is NOAA allowed to develop US weather apps? I vaguely recall that Accuweather or others lobbied to prevent official US NWS weather apps from existing.
From my perspective, Rust is a lot less complex than C++. It does still have a lot of features, but there are a couple of mitigating factors:

1. The features tend to be intuitive to use, and work in the way you expect them to.
2. If you do make a mistake, this tends to be a compile time error with a helpful error message that explains what you've done wrong.
3. The most complicated features are rarely used. Most of my Rust reads like TypeScript.

Part of the problem with C++'s complexity is not only is it difficult to work out the correct incantation, but it's difficult to know whether you have or not. Rust almost completely takes away that uncertainty.

The compile times are definitely an issue unfortunately.
This article wasn't much more than what you'd see in daily discussion over at /r/cyberpunk.
In Austin, TX Airbnb incontrovertibly revealed that hotel room volume was insufficient for demand and was suppressing tourism and its inflow of outside cash.

The common complaint about insufficient & overpriced hotels stopped being theory and was proved out by an elastic federated supply that _at least initially_ put more money in the hands of private parties.

High cost of entry for building hotels in the urban core & decrepit central planning suppressed the cities growth for years. At first hotel companies and their "advocates" complained, but then after they realized it wasn't going to go away, the cranes showed up and started addressing the real problem.

I don't know if Airbnb will be forever, but things like it should at least be cyclically introduced to reveal infrastructure and planning failures, then local private parties can solve the problem and profit while planning commissions try to keep up.
But if the time machine itself travels through time, an unbounded number of people could use the same machine at the same time

> that treats cars as one viable option among several

Their writings hardly treat cars as one viable option as the majority of their writing is specifically against cars. How often do they criticize bicycles? Yet cars are criticized every chance they get.

It isn’t about agreeing about cars or not, but to suggest they treat cars as just another “viable” option is to admit not having spent much time reading their writings. When have they ever proposed improving anything relating to cars? Their idea of an improvement is elimination.

With the Wuhan virus, having good car infrastructure sounds pretty good right now. Yes, public transport, for sure, but the idea of ending cars is ridiculous — and CityLab promotes exactly that, albeit in couched terms. But ending cars completely would make them very happy.
More rigorous tests than Italy, seriously?
Thanks. It was a fun project and was a good test case for Zebrium!
I don't think this should be reduced to her original actions. She was sentenced as a consequence of them, she served 7 years until the rest of the sentence was communted by Obama.

So the real question is: was it appropriate to throw her back into prison, under very harsh conditions, just to force a statement from her. I think there is very good reasons to doubt that, independant of the stance about her original actions. From that perspective, I think her release is good news.
> Is it fair that public funds are used to destroy one company’s business?

When it costs basically nothing to do, yes! Turbotax anyone? Should governments be forced to make doing taxes hard just to give companies a chance to make big bucks for doing your taxes? That is nonsense!
It's not literally saying QM is false in the sense of "gives wrong predictions", but it is saying it is not "what is really going on", because it is incomplete.

> it would render everything pointless as our paths are predetermined

The objection is subtler than this. It's that it's pointless because it's not a productive stance. Science is in large part about predicting results of interventions. It throws its hands up and says everything happens for essentially conspiratorial reasons, and taken fully doesn't admit the possibility of interventions. Further this is stronger than the normal determinism of classical mechanics -- there, even if we believe in determinism, nondeterminism with respect to unobserved things (such as experimenters brains) is a useful stance for discovering truths about the universe. In contrast, with superdeterminism, any possible "intervention" in this stance is "compensated for" by the initial conditions. It explains quantum mechanics only by saying "initial conditions did it", which is no better than "God did it" of medieval philosophy. In neither case can we usefully ask further questions.
This. Exactly. Also, there is definitely an ongoing effort to make the language simpler, not in the type system which arguably is getting more complex, but in the way the borrow checker is getting smarter. Might be imperceptible at first but really brings a lot in term of ergonomics and productivity.
> I would imagine that you may be allowed to shoot that tin can down in the US

This is the debatable part. The FAA considers drones to be aircraft—and under federal law, shooting at aircraft is a crime [0]. The devil's in the details of course. Such cases were usually dismissed because it means trying whether a drone is considered to be trespassing or not and no judge wants to touch this.

The best precedent on this is from the 1946 States v. Causby when the Supreme Court ruled that a farmer in North Carolina could assert property rights up to 83 feet in the air. [1]

Again, the law failed to keep up with the ever accelerating evolution of tech and the SC will probably have to weigh in on pretty much every topic soon, to tweak the interpretation of every outdated law.

> information is legally obtained

Which is why I said that it's not a real choice, not if you have to give up things that are considered more or less basic needs or requirements today. That's because most such information is obtained perfectly legally so there is no recourse. Internet tracking, real life face recognition at every step, all your devices collecting data on you, your "choice" is to pretty isolate yourself from society. Is it a realistic choice then?

> It's not that old people aren't worthy of protection, but when you're 85 in the US you have a 10% chance of dying in the next year for any and all reasons.

Some of the people that die from this would have died anyway, but for the most part this is on top of that 10% chance. Same for young people, there's something like a 0.2 chance of death every year and this is basically doubling that.
