I wonder how this works. If someone could work remotely for GitLab, they could also do another remote job for another global player, so local prices don't matter that much. Maybe this strategy can work now when there are only a few remote jobs to choose from. But I guess the coronavirus will accelerate growth of remote jobs when more companies see remote has some benefits.

>Americans have big garages to stockpile supplies, which means less trips to the store

This is FUD. That isn't where you risk getting sick. The countries with the most effective response to COVIR-19 doesn't even try to stop everyday shopping or movement in cars at all.

>In Europe by contrast, much more of life revolves around public spaces, like the park, cafes, the city square, and public transport.

You don't get sick by being in a park or city square with someone else. More FUD. Please do some reading on the appropriate measures and what actually constitutes a risk of infection.
Cool, any data or is that just speculation? Either way I was asking a hypothetical question.

> If you’re in some kind of synchronous meeting, everyone knows what everyone knows,

I feel like while that's generally true, it depends. Not only because you might underestimate my ability to sleep with my eyes open. I've seen quite a few projects where in-person meetings were either badly planned, went overboard in terms of frequency / number of participants, or people were simply inattentive for other reasons. There's lots of scenarios where communication devolves to the point of asynchronous communication despite meeting face to face. Quite a few meeting forms type up notes or minutes for a reason. Many meetings in my experience are just superfluous "I felt like talking" scenarios, which is fine but it certainly does not make for a great communication strategy.

I'd say it depends on who would meet, for many groups other forms of communication like e-mail/IRC/slack work just fine for a majority of issues without introducing much friction. But sure, for others it might break down completely.

Disclaimer: I'm maintaining the Java/Scala/C#/Go API clients at Algolia.

Exilir and Rust would indeed be great additions to our integrations. However, we are really cautious when considering to support new languages. As said in the interview, we try to provide those API clients in the most idiomatic way for each language.

At the moment, we do not have a lot of demands for those languages nor the necessary workforce to onboard on those two languages (only very few people are proficient with those languages at Algolia and we don't have any production code using them IIRC).
Neither is good - what exactly are you trying to raise for discussion here though?

The fact that there are issues in European prisons doesn't change the situation in US ones. You also also say no other country is close - which is just an indirect way of affirming the parent post (that Europeans find the American system hard to understand). They're hardly going to agree and understand with the American prison system if their own is equally as bad?

You're creating a dichotomy that doesn't exist. American prisons are terrible. European prisons also have issues. Both are true and are worth being discussed at large.
The point may be Apple being very close to releasing their own version.

They had close relationship to them, and they may know something others don't. Even their initial stratospheric valuation came almost solely from them being a potential competitor to Apple's product, or an ip blocker, and an expectation that Apple will spare no money to buy them.

In Shenzhen, rumours were flying for quite some time down to photos of "suspicious HDI PCBs" with "property of Apple corporation" on them. And the fact that Foxconn has only one HDI PCB contractor in the city, gives a lot of credibility to that.

Can we discuss the impact of visualization parameters on perception?

On first look it seems Europe is way worse than China regarding case numbers. But actually checking the scale for the bubbles shows that they are categorical and the largest bucket is ">12,000 cases" thereby putting China (80k) and Italy (12k) into the same visual bucket.

Why would you do this?
>> They’re worth something relative to the revenues they’ve been able to generate

The days of "weird" values aren't over.

The new $trillion companies are worth a trillion because they achieved a lock of one sort or another on a market.... ideally a literal market, a platform or an exclusive data source.

That's basically the idea behind most of these valuations, from FB's "outrageous" IPO price to WeWork's shenanigans. Get a "monopoly^" or strengthen an eventual buyer's monopoly.

With Youtube, google was buying dominance in online video, with a lock on creators. With Android, they bought a running start to mobile dominance... market locks.

Magic Leap's problem is not revenue, it's strategic value.

When FB bought oculus for or $2bn They got to be a major competitor in the market immediately.... the assumption being that one or two of the early products will become the dominant platform.

What do you get if you buy magic leap? How do you get from here to a product that dominates its market?

VR is still not an important market, but it is interesting. Companies will buy into it, but they need to be buying into it. Magic Leap isn't really in the market, nevermind dominant.

The technology itself doesn't matter.

> If you can afford to pay San Francisco developers a given salary, you can afford to pay Des Moines employees as much.

That’s not really true. There are companies with a few employees in expensive locations and many in low income regions. If you switched everyone to the same salary you’d bankrupt the company. I certain don’t assume to know what Gitlab’s financials look like.

What if a company is paying above market rates for all their employees in their chosen locations? As a thought experiment, assume each of those people was the most suitable employee in their field. You’d pay them what they wanted in order to make it work. What if one of those people had a special situation with say dependants? Would you pay them a little more to relive that so they could work for you effectively?
It is also in the nations interest to have free healthcare for everyone, so why should this be handled differently?
Whenever I read about air such ideas this the question is can the costs be lowered enough enough for wider usage. Before we even get to the operating and purchase cost of the air craft. All these taxi ideas seem always over look one the largest costs.

The biggest problem short taxi like air travel tend forget about is the infrastructure. Your going to need a lot of landing and take off locations for it to be any use. You just can't land anywhere unless you have pilot that can see areas clear of cars, power lines, and people or other hazards. So any autonomous system is going to need lots landing and take off areas. Even with a pilot they probably would still be needed.

The next largest costs of an air-craft is generally initial purchase. Then the required on going maintenance to ensure the air-frame remains safe. While an all aircraft electric may reduce the mechanical complexity. It does nothing to reduce the labour cost per hour required to inspect an air-frame, and repair. Also unlikely traditional aircraft a battery pack is more complex than a fuel tank, any problems with it can be dangerous for any aircraft that do not use a fixed wing design.

Also with a completely electric air craft energy density is even more important than a car. This effectively limits them to short distances. While energy costs may be lower than fuel. Fuel for small aircraft is cheaper than a lot people realize.

Lastly, while getting rid of a pilot for routine flight is already in our technological grasp. Unsurprisingly any failures or sudden problem are going to be hard to handle. For instance how would an autonomous air-craft choose a safe landing location if it detects problem that requires landing right away. A busy street would be less than ideal where as a human could easily see less occupied areas. It also would need to make sure that there are not tree branches or power lines are crossing any part of it's chosen landing zone. It would also need to detect that it's not landing on anything like a car or anything else.
Thanks, that's useful :)

Yup, the only experience that do it justice (besides being held) is a prolonged stay in an isolation tank. People do go crazy from this.
On the other hand here in Italy

- we have a better healthcare system than is US (better as in public and for everyone)

- we own the most cars per capita in the west and are second in the world, public transport wasn't a big factor in this pandemia here

- food is much more controlled and we have a tradition of home made, home grown food, that doesn't require to go to the supermarket

- things are closer so trips are shorter and you can shop at many non packed smaller shops

- we react better to panic and are not armed

- infection has spread in small cities in the country where houses are larger, they have more storage, don't use public transport and social distancing in theory was easier

All in all, there are many ways to look at this

Meh.

Your personal risk to become infected via $generic_domestic_holidays is pretty low, but the risk to increase the overall threat-vector by allowing open flights from domestic zones is very high.

The personal assessment just differs from the supervising political assessment, while the observed/assessed situation is exactly the same. Also: be careful with "experts", whenever that label is used, you should be very wary. A "medical expert" doesn't inherently know anything about politics at scale, he just (simplification alert) knows which medication to apply when which symptoms arise.
I expect the natural answer is EDT (Washington DC time) but it's an extremely legitimate question in a country as big as the US and it should have been stated more clearly by the Dyslexic In Chief.
Even if that's completely true, it doesn't detract from the points made in the article. Violating human rights doesn't become acceptable just because someone is a bad person, and the American prison system doesn't become justifiable just because there are bad people there - because they're still people.

Pretty much no one (under normal circumstances) wants to be killed or die. I'm not sure why you even mentioned it?

Intriguing idea. I just breezed through readme so sorry if some of these are already answered.

You say Javascript and Python as if it is unique identity. Which version of language? Which interpreter? How do you make sure that both sides of communication run the same logic?

The data source wants to communicate data to receiver. Is the code transmitted together with data? What is benefit of running this code on receiving side instead of sending side?

Apart from validation the Dit file can include custom interpretation of data. Do you serialize and store validation and query code on disk? Is this good idea? As you build more features in the system, you end up with old data that cannot be queried as well as new data, even though the raw data is the same. For example dates - you might end up with a system where old dates cannot be converted to various date formats while newer can.
I did that. Now I eat dinner at my work desk. It sucks.
A dead simple personal on demand video streaming service written in Rust.

This project originates from my personal need on playing videos in torrents. I often download videos on my laptop, but my bandwidth is limited. Before I can actually watch the video (and sometimes start from a given start time) I have to wait a long time until the download is finished. I've tried many existing solutions such as torrent streaming, but never satisfied.

I eventually start implementing my own solution: download videos on my VPS with much better network, then view the video through a web server, which can also transcode the video to smaller bitrate when my connection is bad.

I decide to open source this project to see if this can help others, and more importantly, to find other people's suggestions on how to improve.

I don't know, the longer I wear my Swiss watch the more I want to keep it on - but I did choose it to match both my skin tone and my wedding ring.

Smart watches however, I have a small collection that didn't make it past the three month mark before they ended up in the back of a cupboard (charging them is super annoying and after every experiment I have had with them, I still find just being able to tell the time quickly is the feature I value the most)
I hit refresh like for a solid minute continually & it loaded fine now.
lol, your suggestion is to send a key through asymmetric encryption (which must be definition be as long as the plain text). Then you send an encrypted message. If someone eavesdropped on your key (send through asymmetric encryption) the message is compromised. You might as well send the complete message through asymmetric encryption then. You just wasted bytes and gained nothing in security. The problem with the one time pad is that it opens up a myriad of side channel attacks on the key.
You can measure the health of a society in how they treat the weak and helpless (helpless in this case in regards to prisoners who are at the whim of the prison).

In this regard, America is profoundly sick and defective.

It is of course true, instead of rehabilitating, they are breeding criminals in prison. It's an abomination.

Yes, that’s all true. It’s just a matter of the scale of the cost and benefits. Welding people into their apartments seems excessive, I have to wonder how many old or sick people died or suffered unnecessarily as a result.

This seems non obvious to me, purely because one has to create the cursor before ever executing any queries [1]. It therefore think it feels like a "sub-connection", or something the database is aware of at any rate.

It would be much clearer to me that the cursor is an iterator if it was actually returned as the result of executing a query.

A year ago, for two weeks, I binged on five grams of some drug. It seems it saturated the NMDA receptors (my own uninformed explanation) so for six months alcohol was same as water to me. Cannabis and benzos were also useless.

Now alcohol does make its effect again, but I just drink some beer occasionaly, no more hard liquors. I haven't had any mj in a year, the best part. Oh, and the drug in question... I tried it again a month ago and found it unpleasant, and keeps building that crappy cross-tolerance.

I won't name the drug because I wouldn't like to encourage anyone to try this kind of "treatment", I'm pretty sure my reaction is not typical at all. But it would be nice if there was research about this.
> Salaries are in large part determined by local factors

Salaries should be a function of value produced amortized across the convenience and reliability of a predictable salary for the employee. Where I am sitting has no bearing whatsoever on the value produced and it is the primary thing that prevents me from pursing a job at gitlab.

Also this argument ignores the side benefits having an enormous salary offers you. (e.g. X% into your pension is a bigger number)

> If anything, pushing for a worldwide universal salary would likely lower earnings of the top X%

Sounds fine to me.
> A lot of health plans got burned by the 'unlimited healthcare' clause of ObamaCare

I would say this is inaccurate. They got burned by Congress allowing employer based groups to exist, therefore removing much of the healthy population from the insurance pools for the public (whose employers don’t offer insurance, or who aren’t employed). If everyone was dumped on healthcare.gov, there would be plenty of healthy lives to offset the sick lives for a viable insurance group. Maybe not in the smallest states, but it hasn’t made sense to me to separate insurance by state either.
The vast majority of home deliveries are drop-at-the-door with no human interaction, fwiw.
Dublin has pre-clearing[1] arrangements for entering the US so you can do all your checks in IE. Most of the US companies registered in Europe are in the RoI/UK, which could be reason for why they exclude it. Also whether this makes sense for "containing" is a different question.

If you have ever traveled to US via Dublin before you will never want to travel from another airport after.

[1] > Dublin Airport is one of only a handful of airports outside North America that offers a US Preclearance facility.
