I thought what the philosophers were saying was quite cool, until I realized most of them said things that sounded nice without any link to the foundations of the hard physical sciences.

When I made that link on why we behave the way we do, I realized that philosophy is a little like theology, and the real truths are much darker.
> I suspect the TSA as a potential transmission vector was a consideration in restricting travel from Europe.

Woah, so much spin, I think I could harvest the energy out of this sentence to solve the planet's energy needs.
At this point, I am concerned that politics is still taking precedence over saving lives. Australia seems to be doing the right thing, except for travel bans. The government swiftly imposed travel bans on China, South Korea and Iran, but inexplicably held off on Italy for more than a week (a cynic would say that it wasn’t that inexplicable, but let’s not get sidetracked).

The United States seems to be a hotbed of undiagnosed infection, and Americans are still streaming in. Tom Hanks (who, to be fair might have been infected in Australia) could be the tip of the iceberg.

Shutting down travel from the US to Australia might anger the US government, but it would seem to be a prudent action.

The US Schengen travel ban, exempting the UK, also seems to be cynical geopolitics, that could cost the UK more than the rest of Europe.

If geopolitics is a problem, then a full travel ban could be more palatable. The status quo is decidedly uncomfortable.
Yes, kudos just the same.

Other labs across the US are ramping up similar tests. This is exactly what we need and we shouldn’t mind all of them taking credit for their contributions.

Certainly the previous comment was conflating things that happened in the past with what's happening how. I was sometimes disappointed with the reality of the Obama presidency, like may others. But this comment is just ridiculous. From the policies, to the personal conduct, to their respect or lack thereof for the rule of law, the two administrations and the actions of the two in and out of office are wildly different.
US currently has 1/20th the number of cases as Denmark per unit population. Denmark is in the top five by this metric, and they aren't doing (up to now) any better a job than Italy at flattening the curve. The thinking probably goes, among people who think little but also get to decide, that it's not that big of a deal here in the US yet, and that further restriction and action would be unpopular. Or maybe the powers that be trust the invisible hand of the free market to solve the problem? It is true that many companies and other private organizations within the US are taking relatively drastic steps. Maybe the executive believes that municipalities and states will handle the issue, and that they will take the brunt of an unrest that results. But more is plainly needed lest we go the route that Italy has gone up til now.

From my understanding this whole ordeal appears to be vengeful and a complete miscarriage of justice. It's almost as if it's being done to make an example and have a chilling effect on future whistleblowers.

Based on reading the news over the years it seems like the US DOJ has had quite a poor track record in general.

The Aaron Swartz case, the attitude towards Assange/Manning and a record number of prosecution of whistleblowers, doctoring of emails to obtain FISA warrants, running guns to Mexico. An attorney general was held in contempt at the time, and it looks like the current one might be too, someday, if not worse.

Incidentally I also read the recent OIG memo about rampant supervisor-subordinate romantic relationships in the DOJ, violating all sorts of workplace protocol.

I am sure there is plenty of great work coming from the department that you never hear about but all this stuff makes it seem like in some ways the department has been run very unprofessionally for at least 10+ years now.

Also disappointing has been the apparent timidity of the American news media who, until William Barr, seemed to be very soft on the DOJ.
It's classical inheritance in particular that's fragile and rigid and problematic.

Coronavirus Is a Preview of Our Self-Isolating Future

Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, and hundreds of others on the left have explained so well what was happening and is still happening. People who talk to people, not people who sit in high rises offices in major expensive cities and listen to themselves on Twitter all day which is a fraction, of a fraction of the population (majority of people don't even have time to tweet or care if they did, the loudest voices there are not representative of political thought for the majority of Americans). DNC has doubled down and moved further in the direction that lost them the last one. People have missed that Republicans have moved left or more center cause of Trump, gay marriage is something Trump doesn't care about at worst and supports at best, same thing on marijuana legalization. People who voted for Obama voted for Trump, the Christian right vote for Trump or don't vote at all because who else are they going to vote for.

In my state, NAFTA fucked over a lot of people, people working factory jobs are now working two jobs, Clinton's brought that into reality, and she still advocated for that and other trade deals like TPP. Bernie might have had a chance then, because he stood against it, he's since said things like "white people don't know what its like to be poor", turning it into a race issue instead of a class issue, stopped talking about worker rights, he sure doesn't now, even without the DNC's help, people watched how the DNC played Bernie and rigged things against him, changed the rules and sacrificed their morals to let billionaire in and keep saying anyone they don't like, even on their own side, is a Russian asset, they know they're just as dishonest. They see rich white people at the top of the DNC, the people the DNC says we're supposed to hate, and recognize the sheer hypocrisy of it all. In the last 4 years they've sinked to Trump's level, and got down in the mud with him.
This is how I see Airbnb in 2020. Big cities have cracked down on people renting out their places and all the idealist hosts have left. Hotels are getting cheaper to compete. The one thing that Airbnb still seems to be great at is ultra-trendy "experience" homes like solar-powered biodomes in the desert or cross-laminated timber cabins in the mountains.
I’m wondering what happened to the people in meeting rooms who suggested that this could be automated if it needed no deep understanding of the COBOL language or the banking domain..?

Even if Assange was a Russian agent he still did nothing wrong regarding his actions of helping whistle-blowers publish their data.
I have heard reports that US officials, including Senator McCain and Asst. SoS Victoria Nuland, supported the 2014 protests and transition of power in Ukraine, which culminated in Russia's annexation of Crimea and the Donbas war. While there is another conspiracy theory out there floating around about some contracts with a small Ukrainian gas company, a reasonable person might feel more negatively about Obama's foreign policy after learning of this risky bet that went bust. This is relevant to the current election since Joe Biden, Trump's likely opponent, was VP and was involved in policymaking in Ukraine.

>Despite his leadership defects and character flaws, Yanukovych had been duly elected in balloting that international observers considered reasonably free and fair—about the best standard one can hope for outside the mature Western democracies. A decent respect for democratic institutions and procedures meant that he ought to be able to serve out his lawful term as president, which would end in 2016.

>Neither the domestic opposition nor Washington and its European Union allies behaved in that fashion. Instead, Western leaders made it clear that they supported the efforts of demonstrators to force Yanukovych to reverse course and approve the EU agreement or, if he would not do so, to remove the president before his term expired. Sen. John McCain (R‑AZ), the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, went to Kiev to show solidarity with the Euromaidan activists. McCain dined with opposition leaders, including members of the ultra right‐ wing Svoboda Party, and later appeared on stage in Maidan Square during a mass rally. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Svoboda leader Oleg Tyagnibok.

It seems like the Republican strategy both with Ukraine and Libya has been to talk about some obscure and distorted side-issue (Burisma and Benghazi respectively) which deprives the Democrats of a chance to respond substantively to the real issue, which was the foreign policy decisionmaking at the top that led to the greater situation becoming so dire in the first place.

In a way, it's a form of propaganda that uses disinformation to target well-informed people. It's kind of fun to think about when it's not pointed at you. (Republicans are hypocrites here -- nearly all of them supported Ukraine intervention at the time. But that didn't stop Democrats from running against the Iraq War in 2004 :p)
> Aaron Hsu gave a talk about this

In it he mentioned that abstraction is bad, which was also mentioned in the previous K discussion. I still really struggle with that belief.

I find abstractions essential to mentally manage the complexities of the overall solution. For example I just implemented some REST calls at work, and when coding a GET or a POST call I don't want to think about the gritty details of how to conjure up an OAuth token from the multiple supported ways just so I can stuff it into the HTTP headers. I far prefer to know that the passed OAuth token provider abstraction (interface instance) will provide a suitable token if asked nicely.

Though perhaps he must mean something else than what I mean by abstraction. After all, the APL sample code he showed is abstracting away quite a lot by way of the various operators and whatnot.
they are indeed, what else would they be written in?

I'm having trouble connecting this with what I said...
> Inheritance gone wrong. If a derived type behaves differently, it should not be a derived type. See Liskov substitution principle. Just because a hash map is somewhat like a list of key/value pairs doesn’t mean it should derive from one.

The trouble is that "extends" conflates three different things, and many languages don't offer an easy way to do those things separately:

1. Ad-hoc polymorphism: this thing offers the same interface as this other thing, but with a different implementation

2. Composition: this thing contains this other thing, and uses it to implement its own functionality

3. Delegation: this thing implements this interface by forwarding it to this thing that it contains (possibly overriding some parts)

So you end up with things that need to share implementation accidentally exposing a common interface, or vice versa. Thankfully we're seeing more and more languages offering the option to do delegation more explicitly (Kotlin/Rust-style delegation, Haskell/Rust-style derivation), and to do ad-hoc polymorphism without needing to share implementation (Java-style interfaces, Haskell typeclasses / Rust traits).
Reading these tweets, I realize I had no idea that "growth mindset" had very specific claims. Finding evidence to either invalidate or lessen the validity of said claims doesn't take away from the main lessons I've had from growth mindset ideas though. Tweeter seems to be quibbling with details and semantics, which may or may not be helpful. If "growth mindset" is a specific theoretical framework with clearly defined points for the sake of marketing one Carol Dweck and other people cannot use the phrase for what they thought it meant, fine, whatever.

But the lesson I took from the idea was that people who think that people cannot grow find themselves in a self-fulfilling prophecy where they don't try to grow. They potentially can get stuck in their careers and potentially might get bitter about things if they are not satisfied, wondering why the world is unfair, while other people who apply themselves can continue to grow. Yes, many variables and factors also influence how things happen, but the fundamental idea that people actually do limit themselves for no good reason is also frequently seen. How many people in the world are like this, I don't know, but they exist, and we should encourage those people to change the way they think. I am not sure how anyone would be able to argue against that being true.
No. There are all kinds of discontinuities in money but this narrative is just an exhibition of ignorance.

Even when "money backed by gold" was a slightly less completely inaccurate fiction than it is now, what people "knew" to be money was many, many, many different things, depending on where they were and what they did for work.

Stories like this are like religious narratives, and "money backed by gold" is like the story of the angry god allegedly giving tablets to some dude. It is at BEST an allegory but yall go and read it like it happened.

It is pretentious because being an entrepreneur who is interested in innovation is not the only way to be interested in ideas and making new things. It is placing this one kind of human endeavor on a pedestal above the myriad others. Which is pretentious!
Even if the invisible hand of the free market could solve this, the government is keeping this hand tied by passing things like price gouging laws.

So not only are they not going to fix things themselves, they are going to actively stop the market from solving things.
We are all always learning. I am all over the place from java, shell, awk, python, and now I'm playing with Go and I kind of like it but can't find the time to actually make something useful so I can learn from it.

We fixed it a few days later, but it didn’t cause much trouble so it was largely forgotten.
I'm mentioned health insurance companies because I wasn't aware of the details of the bill that was rejected today by Lamar until after reading your comment when I educated myself by reading a more detailed source. While reading your comment I assumed you meant health insurance companies paying as that was the recent Trump kerfluffle from his speech last night and in addition if we're talking about US and health I'm putting money on our health insurance system being mentioned.

Unfortunately, it is quite a lot worse than this, if today's Politico reporting is accurate, that Trump intentionally did not want more testing, to keep the reported number of infected low, to make him look like he's doing a good job, and increase his re-election chances.

Only? That's more cases than the UK has. If you scale Denmark's 617 cases up to the US population, it's 36,000 cases equivalent. If you scale it to China, it'd be near 150,000. What's worthy of "only" about that? That's a shit show. A colossal failure, in the parlance currently being thrown at the US.

How about Norway currently? 43,000 equivalent.

How about Italy? 60,000 cases equivalent, with 5,500 deaths.

Switzerland? 25,000 equivalent.

Sweden? 20,000 equivalent.

But I understand, America bad. It's the same obnoxious theme in every thread on HN right now.

Europe's results - including Denmark - are not impressive at all. That's the actual situation.
Overnight, I think
We had decades of smart thinking about this, and forsaw the need 3 years ago based on Ebola. Things are now in trial, so if it's 2020 and you're reading this, sorry, the funding is already committed. Better luck next time. Keep your ear to ground and move faster.
The fact remains that millions of people are screaming holy hell about things "Trump does" that they were silent about 4 years ago when Obama did them.
But imagine if we hadn't bailed them out, we would be travelling by river boat today.

I'm being sarcastic of course.

Politicians are so quick to bail out "critical" businesses, which, on the face of it, makes sense. But it's not like all those planes and pilots and crews disappear if an airline goes out of business. The corrupt crony companies need to be allowed to fail so that others can take their place and investors can learn from their mistakes.

> She is trying to point out that E=hf and the current interpretation is wrong and is not assuming it's true in her analysis.

If you want to prove an equation wrong, you cannot use it as a starting point. Let me show you the fundamental error she makes in detail:

E=hf

Dimensional analysis: J=J * s * s^-1=J * s / s=J * 1=J

So the original checks out ok.

The paper tries to argue that Js is the wrong unit for h and replaces the "1" from above with bogus "oscillations", which are never defined. The proper inverse of frequency is not "oscillations", however, it's period (singular!), which is measured in seconds.

Dividing by "oscillations" gives you the same unit you started with and changes nothing. This is independent of your interpretation of what a photon is. Since she also never specifies the relationship between "oscillations" and wavelength, I wonder how E=hc/λ follows, let alone the de Broglie wavelength...

> can I hear your thoughts on using the dimensionless fine structure constant in equations?

Using the fine structure constant in equations is equivalent to using pi in equations. Proportionality factors exist in nature.
No to number one as prevention is very important, as you wont receive care if hospitals are overwhelmed. Also, containing the virus is useless if in the end a vaccine is able to be developed.

This is the part where I remind people that Obama drone striked a 16 year old US citizen without trial in a non active war zone and a cafe full of civilians because someone bad might be there (and wasn't so just killed a bunch of innocent people). That's a war crime tantamount to murder.

You're right in some respects Obama is worse. I definitely feel like I could have a beer with him, but fuck me if he didn't do things as bad as Bush or worse. People called Bush the same names they called Trump now, so it doesn't mean as much anymore.
