RE #1: I agree that this is the case now, but this depends on people who build these tools and systems to not co-opt and subvert them for their own ends.

RE #2: I'm not betting on anarchy, but on the emergence of form of a way of organization that is able to operate with bit of disregard of entrenched power structures by co-opting those who work for them yet don't feel they receive enough benefits from the current situation to uphold a particular institutions beliefs, and willing to explore the horizon for more options. The tent-pole isn't something necessary to remove, and it's not necessarily desired remove because it allows for those who lack will to purse any other way to rely on its existence for shelter, while others can simply walk out the tent, and construct/decommission a structure that which they choose for any particular ends, and walk in/out of the tent and leverage its resources as it sees fit and work with others who share similar goals against those can not imagine any other way of being. I think a good example of this is with regards to academics and shared credential usage that enables sci-hub. I see a similar situation unfolding in banking right now.
Interestingly, I had the opposite experience, finding the AP Chemistry exam more difficult than the subject exam. I think part of it is that I have no love for chemistry, so I just memorized the things I needed for the subject test.
So, over time, MIT researchers decrease in quality, and it loses prestige to other institutions, perhaps overseas, perhaps China.

Instead, I think they will continue to try to evaluate genuine merit. SAT can be and is routinely gamed, through prep. You have to be truly outstanding to manage it alone.
Also, I wouldn’t necessarily agree that AP exams are more difficult than the SAT subject tests. School curriculum is not uniform. In fact, in my high school the material for certain SAT subjects tests was _only_ taught in AP classes.
Well, in this case I don't see why a customer should stick with the ISP if it doesn't deliver. In Germany, there are several examples where the termination of contract was judged as being okay if the bandwidth regularly fell below 50% of the promised capacity [1].

Therefore: Although the Netflix cut was triggered by the EU, it might actually have been a successful lobbying action by the ISPs.

What Oregon could really do with now is lifting some of the restrictions on selling liqour. You can’t buy anything stronger than wine in grocery stores, and I suspect that’s all that’s gonna be open soon.
It may be a good option, we’ll see how SK and Singapore and Taiwan continue to fare.

Regardless, we obviously can’t execute on it, for reasons of incompetency, culture, faith in government, etc. And even if we could, it would take months to scale to where we’re testing millions per day like we’d need for that strategy. Millions would die by then.

So given where we are today, and the resources we have today, what would you do?
Why even use a computer then? Paper ballots and hand counting work perfectly fine.

If for some reason you desperately have to use technology, optical scanners with statistical verification is probably not that terrible. One issue is that a significant part of the population won't be able to understand the verification part though.
LOL!! |s
Exactly. With mass testing options, we would be one solid plan away from getting back to some semblance of normal life. A combo of taking temp and testing those with fever, and the quarantining the sick, we could be confident in being in public again. I know this is critical but how long will we need to isolate if we don’t get medical intervention? Can our economy survive this kind of shut down for more than a few weeks?

Edit to say I’m all for flattening the curve, and I’m not a denier. But there are trade offs going on here. We aren’t rich enough to ride this out for several months without permanent systemic damage. I think tough questions are warranted

It's not obvious to me that Mozilla is doing anything very wrong, except for not having enough money to keep their browser experience as polished as Chrome's, and most importantly, they aren't marketing like Google.

Google doesn't need their browser to make money, and Google advertises their browser in ways that Mozilla can't match. It's surprising that Mozilla can even be half-healthy.
I had a mentor at my last job who would repeatedly say "You can't test safety into a product." As in you have to actually do the work to understand and limit how the product behaves, and only then can you call it safe. If you build a product without thinking of safety, then try to test the safety into the finished product, you just end up covering all the known sharp edges with foam. Software products have limitless sharp edges.

It is terrifying how fast reasonable people have jumped on board with China-level lockdown policies that will decimate life-as-we-know-it after they end.

I've been reading every whitepaper and journal publication I can find on this disease.

The picture that I'm seeing is that this disease is both more infectious (higher R0) and less deadly than previously thought.

In light of those facts I am fairly convinced the lockdowns and resulting economic impacts will be worse than just isolating the most vulnerable and letting the rest of the population go about their business.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.12.20022434v... (Suggests the R0 is much higher and IFR much lower than reported)

https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Report-C... (shows that the people dying are very old and very sick already. Also given the fact that part of the population is so impacted strongly suggests the disease is much more widespread)

Also, all of the celebrities, politicians and athletes that are testing positive are proof, in my opinion, of how wide this has gone.
For those not aware, Walter is the creator of D. I feel like this almost constitutes shitting on someone's Show HN post.
""There is good evidence that children get infected and have a fairly high titre of virus but just don’t have serious disease,” agrees Ralph Baric, a coronavirus researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He saw a similar phenomenon in his mouse studies with the original SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Although SARS-CoV can replicate fairly well, “younger animals are really resistant to infection in terms of the disease,” he says. When Baric tested older animals, he says, the severity of SARS illnesses rose. In one experiment, one-fifth of mice infected with SARS aged 3–4 weeks died, whereas all of the mice 7–8 weeks old died.""

It’s a c64, there are no samples*.

https://linusakesson.net/scene/a-mind-is-born/ has a full breakdown of what is going on.

What you call the “heartbeat” is, I think, what Linus thinks of as “drums”, and is a rapidly descending tone in (probably) a rectangular wave - the c64 cannot generate sine waves, just sawtooth/triangle/pulse, and random noise (and some combinations of these that were not intended by the sound chip’s designer). In addition all three voices of the sound chip are being pushed through its subtractive filter, which is a hard-to-emulate bit of analog circuitry that gets noisier and noisier if you out more than one voice through it.

If you really want a close look at what’s going on you could download the “SID tune” version of it and run it through a c64 music player, most of these have oscilloscope views and the ability to selectively mute voices.
The same is true in Germany. "Ingenieur" is a protected title. You need to graduate from an engineering program.

To put it in perspective, more people have died in the past 12 hours of covid-19 in Italy alone, than were killed by Israeli snipers armed with the best technology possible over 2 years. In the next week, more Italians will die from the virus than could have been killed by Israeli snipers even if all injuries made last year became instantly fatal.

In fact, more people were murdered in Chicago by random gangsters, than were killed by Israeli snipers in the past 2 years.
Voting by mail shares many systemic issues with online voting, such as lack of anonymity (an attacker could open your letter or you could show the ballot to someone) and verifiability (you have no idea if your letter made it to the count).

Testing is a bottleneck which is why you need as many testing venues as possible including mail-in at home tests for the more rural areas.

The US isn’t South Korea it’s population density is drastically different as well as its geographical scale which makes viral protein and RNA tests much harder to conduct.

At this point social distancing and a multi phase testing plan will be required which will undoubtedly include field AB testing to reduce the load on testing facilities.

AB testing also provides additional valuable data points including a more accurate infection figures since it can come out positive as long as the antibodies remain in your system.
But after the three month delay, you’ll have the same exponential growth, if life goes back to usual. It’s even present in these plots, at the right hand side (see California). It’s unfortunate the plots aren’t extended more to show longer term trends.

Well, they use a lot of pen & paper in Russia, but somehow Putin can get 107% of votes in some areas. So perhaps your confidence in paper voting is a bit too high.
This seems pretty threatening and dangerous even for todays low security expectations. My guess is that the company acquired too many assets, they didn’t know how to manage them all. Now the whole company's IT system is just a "conspiracy of optimism" for their customers.

> It's interesting that paying people's rent for them is on the table, but denying rent to the literal rent-seekers isn't. As though ensuring those who collect rent get their rent is more important than keeping people in homes.

my elderly neighbors rent their basement out. should they just be told they don't get paid for a few months?

my retired parents own REITs, and pay their bills with those dividends. if the real estate companies don't get paid, there's no dividends, and then my parents are buying cat food.

pensions and retirement funds across the country rely on rents coming in.

this "just suspend rents" line would be less insane if you'd acknowledge there are trade-offs to it.

Time, Can We Finally Turn a Financial Crisis into an Opportunity?
> Price gouging laws do not change the underlying facts of how long it takes to spin up new production lines.

Of course they don't. What they do accomplish is preventing prices from rising quickly enough to justify new production lines. It really comes down to if manufacturers think they can make enough to cover the costs of changing production lines to the emergency good, then turning them back, and then some. This is compared to how much they make doing what they have always done. Price gouging laws lower the profits they would make.
Is there a mod log?
Except it doesn't work that way, because a certain % of people who get sick require hospitalization to survive - including people under 50 - even if that's a lower % than those who are older and/or have underlying medical conditions. We have under a million total hospital beds in the USA. If 100 million under 50s get sick right away and just 3% of them require hospitalization that's still 3x as many hospital beds as we have in the entire country (and that doesn't factor in all the people who require hospital beds for non-coronavirus reasons).

How many hundreds of thousands or millions of preventable deaths are acceptable to you for a faster bounceback of the economy?
If all it provided was an API server then it wouldn't really matter. But this is pitched one level down ie: you can integrate this into your existing app as a library and expose it. I don't know what the utility of that is, but I'm kind of assuming it might mean you can add in interceptors and business logic to customise the API behavior which I think is pretty useful.

So the fact that it lets you do this with any JVM language is actually a key property that gives it very wide application.
There are under-surface nooks and overpasses, also destructible (in fact, most of the nooks are accessed in just that way).

Notably, the terrain is optionally permanently destructible, but you could switch it to temporary if the machine didn't have too much ram (by the standards of '98). In practice, having a sizeable fraction of the world(s) destroyed, as a side effect of normal business, did hamper the vibe, so having the damage be temporary was just saner.
The engine behind moore's law is that for the same given silicon area, we can pack more and more transistors. So what, one might say? Because if we can cram more and more die on a wafer (which has remained a standard 300mm diameter since 2000's) then the $/die goes down. Running a semiconductor fab is about how many wafers can be processed per unit time (or also known as WS/W or wafer starts per week). I see problems with this analogy but that's fine, its an analogy after all :)

"If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, we would produce a billion rolls royces a year, get a million miles per gallon, can transport 10000 people per car and explode once a year, killing everyone inside. Oh and it would cost $3.50 per car."

It hasn't solidified for the same reason that C++ in many ways still hasn't solidified. Software is a very young industry by many standards and we still haven't found the best way to make it. Rust is one way to do it, but there are many others besides, in the end which tool wins out is less important than that we make some progress and get out of the tar-pit that we've been stuck in for the last two decades.

All we seem to be doing is make more layers of gray goo and leaky abstractions that we then plumb together to attempt to make reliable systems. It still doesn't feel right to me.

Here in the USA we are only two days removed from having run Democratic primaries where millions of people lined up and crowded together in small rooms - the total opposite of what China (and South Korea and Japan) have done. Images of packed beaches and boardwalks continue to emerge. The unfortunate fact is that many Americans aren't taking this pandemic seriously which is going to result in a much worse time of it than it could have otherwise been.

Good. Anecdata was that more than a few had already been doing this in lock down locations.
It all comes down to world-class talent and their willingness to relocate. John Carmack famously joined Oculus without leaving Dallas, TX. I also believe that Chrome's entire V8 team is based out of Aarhus, Denmark due to Lars Bak's desire to move back home.
Yes, that's correct. Although is fairly easy to get accredited if you are a member in order of the state association of engineers.
DISTINCT ON is also very useful for nearest neighbor queries with PostGIS.
There is a very succinct explanation by Michael Osterholm [1][2] where he says that the virus is spread both by droplets & aerosols, and that sharing the same air with another person is the primary vector (that isn't intended to sound as alarmist as it probably does).

From what I understand the best prevention is to reduce face-to-face contact with other people where possible, but an N95 mask would definitely help prevent contraction in public spaces.

Of course, these measures seem extreme since ~80% of people will barely notice they are infected / have mild symptoms, but it's all about peak-load reduction.

Failure of Self-Driving Truck Co Tells You All You Need About Self-Driving Vehs
Not sure. I can't find a link to it right now. There is 'alcosynth', but AFAICT that's something different. About 5-7 years ago I was really into this stuff but I stopped drinking a couple years ago and slowly forgot it all. There are a number of studies on fusel oils/heavier alcohols and hangovers if you want to google it. Tryptophol and the like are also interesting(yeast produce them under certain nutrient conditions).
Yes. Math notation is independent of time and space. Code isn't. Math is a pineapple upside down cake. Code expresses one (of many!) recipes to produce one.

The danger here is if you start equating math to code and you write an algorithm in, say, an imperative language on a uniprocessor, you can become blind to declarative/parallel solutions. The math is the Platonic ideal of the thing in question, and it doesn't change. Always keep the math in mind and don't get lost in the code.
Huh? If you spread it to 1 person, then the total number of people who have been infected will rise by 1.
In my opinion this page isn't terribly informative unless you happen to live in Texas or California.

Basically every state has measures in place already. None of that is reflected here, and there is no way to tell where it fits relative to the scenarios shown.

Also, for those considering to use the Cinchona bark itself as a prophylactic measure, as a natural / herbal / ayurvedic remedy, note that it also has potentially risky side-effects like slowing the heart, constipation and impact on the nervous system. In large quantity cinchona is UNSAFE and can be deadly. Symptoms of overdose include ringing of the ears, headache, nausea, diarrhea, and vision disturbances. Cinchona can also cause bleeding and allergic reactions, including hives and fever. It also interacts with a lot of other medicines like anti-coagulants, heart medicines, antacids etc. Be sure to check your medication list first.
