Hey guys,

With everything going on in the world, I know a lot of people are now stuck at home, unable to leave. As someone who works from home, it's not an issue for me, but I know there are those that will struggle.

Because of this, I thought I'd open up my web platform, https://crowdsourcer.io, that allows people to create projects together remotely and rev-share in a fair way. We're going to be releasing some premium features over the next week or so but I've decided to keep them free until the world goes back to normal. I'll also automatically apply, to all projects, a reduction to processing fees if you use our selling tools (if you sell outside of the platform then any payment processing is done at cost price anyway so it's about as good a deal as possible).

I hope this encourages some of you to not miss the opportunity to get cracking on any software-related ideas you've been meaning to work on, whilst you're stuck at home.

If you have any questions about how it works or how to use it I'm active on Reddit, so feel free to leave a comment or message me.
Most internet APIs use timeouts. That's as nondeterministic as it comes.
That would be an excellent point if the Spanish flu actually started in Spain. It didn't.
It effects middle-age people as well, it’s just that when mortality rate rises from 0.01 (flu) to 0.3% in this specific age group it looks much better than for the elderly with over 10% mortality. 0.3% is still catastrophic and even those who don’t die can have severe long-term effects (see Netherlands cases)
Why is EKS unusual? I've found GKE to be wayy easier, but wasn't aware it (or--something else?) was more popular.
You need a set of pipettes, a thermal cycler (i.e. https://www.ebay.com/b/PCR-Thermal-Cyclers/185231/bn_1153835... ), some consumables (i.e. pipette tips, vials, gels), reaction reagents (listed by the top level comment), a centrifuge, and probably some other things I'm forgetting. For some reactions you are much better off using a quantitative PCR machine but those are quite expensive.

We are talking about negative pressure mechanical ventilation. Positive end expiratory pressure is just one way of splinting open alveoli. Maintaining recruitment and V/Q matching in ARDS can be achieved in multiple ways, including negative pressure mechanical ventilation.
Consistency and determinism are orthogonal. Just because updates are eventually consistent, doesn't mean they exhibit any sort of indeterminism.

In their retail business. They finance that operation through the relatively high margin AWS.
Our startup in the late 90's, had a similar product, uBusiness.

Also using a mix of TCL, C and Apache.

Later on, we created an IDE using VB 6.

Although using TCL was a great experience, it also taught me that not having a JIT/AOT compiler just doesn't scale, as every performance bottleneck just got rewritten in C.

In the end the product got rewritten into .NET.

Why does the rust documentation still suck? It basically only works if you already know what you ate looking for, and still is difficult to read.

Compare the string pages.

Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html

Java: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base...

C++: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string

Yes, the cop page probably has some bespoke work on the page, but it still demonstrates ideas that are partially auto generated (and most of that page is auto generated).

* the method and functions aren't sectioned in any useful way. Just a list of functions (solved by adding section and subsection to the doc comments). Methods that create, search, mutate, test, transform, etc should be sectioned off.

* no use of alignment, just blobs of text

* poor use of color. Both java and cpp use color to break up sections and alignment to distinguish different parts of the signature. Rust is just a page of text that is very difficult to scan.

* no summary. Cpp summarizes the group of method before clicking b through to individual listings, while java summarizes each method at the top. This is useful for searching in a page. Rust is once again just a block of text.

* rust also has a unique issue in how to organize traits and other rust specific constructs. It really should have figured this out by now.

I can keep going on the uselessness of the rust docs, and I say this as someone who was involved in the language in the past, and give it a new shot about once a year. But the docs have always sucked compared to other languages.
Sure, in this case the rich asshole is the federal government. Unfortunately.

Worth repeating from the bottom of the article:

"Climate scientists estimate that at least half of the acreage now producing coffee—and an even greater proportion in Latin America—will be unable to support the plant by 2050, making coffee one of the crops most immediately endangered by climate change."
"I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, websites that should be just documents are turning into resource-intensive applications, which is frustrating."

I agree but I would be ok with them if they required explicit permission from the user before being allowed.
Coronavirus Live Monitor – stats, news, and more on the outbreak, in one place
I think this is because there's no rules on the internet (besides GDPR which is implemented with varying properness). Compare with iOS where developers are given clear rules and / or instructions, e.g. how they have to ease the user into notifications instead of just yeet a permissions dialog in their face.

I think a lot of websites have just poorly / sloppily implemented the push notifications. I mean if they were to end an article with a call-to-action to subscribe to notifications and/or the newsletter, it'd be a much more pleasant experience.

As it stands, I've disabled push notifications entirely (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3220216?co=GENIE.Pl...) and I've got a bookmarklet that will try and delete all sticky elements (including persistent headers, popups, greyed-out popup backgrounds, cookie banners, etc). One day I might turn that into an addon that automatically does it after a few seconds of loading a webpage, idk.

One day browsers may implement pop-up blockers again as well but this time for the inline ones. I believe Google had an addon where you could report these things.

Not quite that bad.

Current measured growth rates are closer to 15% per day (5 day doubling time). And people's behavior changes not when people die, but when people get sick. Which happens (depending on your sensitivity) only 1-2 weeks after exposure.

But the basic principle still applies. We are trying to buy as much time as we can to ramp up emergency provisions. And are trying to avoid overwhelming emergency rooms. By the time people's behavior modifies through direct experience, it is too late.

Making this concrete I live in Orange County, CA. Population, 3.3 million. Hospital beds, 6600 (source https://www.hasc.org/orange-county). I don't know how many ICU beds, but https://www.accjournal.org/journal/view.php?number=630 suggests it likely is about 6% of the total. So about 400ish.

Now walk that backwards. 400 people in ICU beds probably means 4000 people with symptoms means less than 0.1% of the population with COVID. Except that it is worse than that. We have those beds for normal stuff that goes wrong. They aren't actually empty now.

Long story short, we start piling up excess dead bodies due to lack of capacity long before most of us personally know anyone who actually shows symptoms.

It's not very strongly typed at all, and it absolutely doesn't force you into the OOP paradigm.

Why don't I consider it strongly typed?: Structurally subtyped as opposed to nominal typing, the pervasiveness of any, allowance for vanilla JS coercion, exceptions and promise rejections are untyped, etc.

Looks like a tale or a misidentification. Rubbing (applying/firmly pressing) hemlock against the skin would lead to blisters, not to death, unless rubbing is applied directly on skin cuts. If the wikipedia history is true, the real poisoning was secondary and probably inner (Either for breathing in a place with lots of plants, or accidentally shallowing small chunks, or a crime disguised as accident)

My bet would be that they mistoken it for something edible/medicinal and tried to make an antimosquito recipe. Children always take a quick bit of anything that their parents show them as interesting.
Actually FTA:

> Out of these two, Netflix says it will cut its streaming bitrates.

They aren't cutting resolution i.e. kicking people down a tier. If you pay for HD, you will get HD... at a reduced quality.
Depends on the median age of the population. Italy skews older.
Yea agree about a demand surge when this is over, but I don’t think most businesses will be able to weather this well. Margins are usually pretty tight. A business already struggling will simply close rather than take out more debt amounting to the cost of months of revenue that they will have to figure out how to repay (even when rates are very low). It will hurt and it will hurt big time if this goes on for longer. So politicians are faced with an impossible choice: tank the economy with social restrictions or don’t and millions of people die and the hospitals are overrun, which will likely have its own economic impact.

That’s a ramble, but basically I sincerely hope your optimism is correct here, but I am much more pessimistic. I think we will get through this but at a huge economic cost.
Interesting, I'd be curious to know more. My understanding of NPV is that it's primarily useful in cases when the lungs are generally "functional" and some other issue is preventing adequate ventilation.

50% is a bit of information. You can repeat the test - even if you consider that some contamination survives repeated tests, if you even get half a bit from subsequent tests you can easily get to eliminate quite a bit of population.
Does the UN seriously have a program called New World Order?? Am I missing a joke here? I looked at the page and it seems pretty legit...
Did nobody read the article? There are so many comments here about going to SD, but FTA they aren't reducing resolution, rather just the bitrate:

> Several factors influence how much data is used when streaming a movie online.

> One of them is video resolution, including whether a video is high-definition (HD) or ultra-high definition 4K.

> Another is bitrate, which influences how clear and smooth videos look when streamed online

> Videos with a higher bitrate tend to look less "blocky" or pixelated, but use more data.

> Out of these two, Netflix says it will cut its streaming bitrates.

Non-linear returns of going the extra mile in businesses
It all seems rather tragic, especially when the solution to preventing the spread of disease seems to be largely in robotics.
I've had a similar thing where people were complaining our app was in English (it was for a Dutch company), apparently people get confused about the preferences they themselves have set.
It's kind of funny how you boast that you don't want any hand holding from the compiler or IDE, yet you proudly proclaim and demonstrate that you're careless about syntax, spelling, and punctuation. And how you sarcastically complain about immature thoughtless responses, yet you're insulting and patronizing. ;) At least you're consistently self contradictory.
Bertrand Russell, in Praise of Idleness [pdf]
I guess I am in a third group that feels that the mob-mentality has taken over. If Netflix indeed decides to just go with this, I too will think they should be called out. But unless I've missed something, they haven't communicated anything about that yet, positive or negative. The outrage right now to me looks like people shouting at firefighters "who's going to pay for that waterdamage?!" while the fire is still active (ok, I should be careful with the analogies on HN, you don't need to pedantically tell me all the differences between netflix and firefighters!).

I feel that it's quite likely that they will announce that they will pay back the extra fees, or make it up in some other way. I can appreciate that it was not their first order of business when the request came from the EU (and, as far as I can tell, Australia as well and probably other places).
I found page 3 most remarkable: 48% of those who die of covid-19 in Italy also suffer from three or more other diseases (or did recently), and 99.2% suffer from one or more.
It's admitting democracy doesn't really work.

But it doesn't, so yes.

There are restrictions like citizenship which is required, so we already admit we don't trust the population to chose suitable candidates.

They are also head of the military, which has requirements I would think.
I don't think there is consensus that this is the main problem with this virus. Cytokine storms have been cited as the cause of death when a virus disproportionately strikes folks in their 20s and 30s when the immune system is strongest. On balance tho a stronger immune system seems to be better.
The control group is not randomized, and most of it is in another(s) hospital(s).

They are not counting the 6 patients that they lost in the treatment group (2 leave, 3 where transfer to ICU, 1 die). It is more strange that they didn't lost any patient in the control group.

It's strange that they use an antibiotic against a viral infection.

In 2015 Firefox still did not have multiprocessing. IE did not either, and it was massively used back then.
You know. I thought it was just me who was dumb.

> And US sanctions as written do not allow us to provide commercial services or services which could be used commercially to sanctioned countries.

This statement is so wide-sweeping as to be patently false. Some sanctions target specific activities. Others target specific entities that may or may not be entire countries. Many sanctions do not apply to information and communication services. To make such a wide statememt as you did suggests you're oversimplifying to placate the masses. Either way, not a good look.

Every western country has used some central economic control continuously for the last 100+ years. Tariffs are ancient, but more modern tools like the FED or child labor laws are far from recent.

Saying they never work is clearly disingenuous.

PS: Unless you’re thinking of central planning aka communism and just using the wrong word.

In the short time, I agree with you. However, this also reduces the incentive to produce in a foreign country. Hence, this would even move many jobs back to the country where the consumers live. This in turn keeps the consumers' money in their country. Hence, their total wealth increases, largely already because the outflow of money is reduced. With more money available at the hands of the consumers, things don't need to be much more expensive than now.

> Why does the rust documentation still suck?

Thats a bit harsh. Yes, the documentation might be (is) a bit hard to read in a sense that its hard to _find_ something from it, but otherwise I've found if quite complete (when it comes to the standard library). Most (if not all) of your points are about the readability of the rendered documentation and not the documentation (content) it self.
To anyone wondering, this is from the article:

> Every single muscle starts firing and contracting, so you have convulsions, you chew your tongue into ribbons, you vomit but then you can’t open your mouth because the jaw muscles are contracting 10 or 20 times as hard as they normally do, and you die a horrible death.

> Those who eat it will die in two hours. It must be a painful death. It twists the arms and ankles and turns the head back. Finally they die in a last wretching convulsion. They say it turns the eyes back.

> Cicutoxin is a GABA antagonist; it turns off the brakes. Without that... the brain goes nuts: Everything starts firing. Anyone unfortunate enough to ingest cicutoxin starts sweating, vomiting, and salivating violently. Kidney failure is common, as is an irregular heartbeat and difficulty breathing. Muscles start contracting so hard they can dislocate bones.

To make the matters worse, anti-toxins may or may not work.
4x price increase? That's ... reasonable? Considering the shortages and that the original price is quite low, I can't even call it price gouging, that's just normal adjusting. That's the level of price increase that would convince companies to up production and people to look into their garage for those few boxes they bought and never used.

Edit: the bonus of phones in this price range is like Fairphones they almost always make it easy to quickly remove the battery so you're certain nothing's running.
