What if information could be revoked? Imagine the government suspects me in some investigation. I give them a key that gives them all information about me and my recent activities. Then once some period elapses, I revoke that key and they no longer have any of that information. Nor, of course, were they able to copy or independently distribute it in any way when they had it.

This is probably pure fantasy, but if there was any way this scenario would be possible, I think it would go a long way to assuaging people's concerns. As it is, we know data can be copied and distributed without permission. That's kind of been the underlying problem of spies throughout the history of the world.

I think this concept is where Stephenson was going with Snow Crash, but his scenario for this seemed like fantasy as well to me.

>Manufacturing is a dirty, dangerous, manual business.

It can be, but it can also be clean, safe and highly automated. Fly-by-night operators that run dirty and dangerous shops are not the basis of a sustainable manufacturing economy. China is just damned good at manufacturing. They have everything that is needed - skills, capital, logistics - at an immense scale. They don't offer a cheap but inferior substitute for western manufacturing. They offer speed, flexibility and scalability that western countries could only dream of.

Xi Jinping has a degree in chemical engineering. His predecessor Hu Jintao has a degree in hydraulic engineering. His predecessor Jiang Zemin has a degree in electrical engineering. That is the fundamental reason why China is a manufacturing superpower - for thirty years, the government has been run by people who actually know how to make stuff.

I agree they you can use Vulkan on most platforms, but if you use an established engine with multiple render backends, then you'd go with the most feature complete or most performant API, which is usually the platform-specific proprietary one.

That would limit Vulkan as a good cross-platform choice to the few developers that do not use Unity or Unreal Engine under the hood.

A more hopeful interpretation. This can be a tool for good. It's not necessary for the state to have access. We already have access.

This capability is precisely what we need to generate data that can be used to resolve this crisis and allow us to safely exit from quarantine.

The GDPR allows individuals to request access to their own data.

They can voluntarily share this with their health systems, communities, and governments, such as when testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. This doesn't have to be open-ended, just for recent data that could help track transmission and find other contacts.

On the flip side, individuals who don't know if they're carriers can plug their own data into a system that relates it with the movements of affected people and warns them if they need to get tested.

An ortholinear split keyboard is better (it's easier to rotate either half without the normal key stagger getting awkward), but I don't see any reason to buy a Plank.

Nothing stops 100% of viruses. But if everyone wears something -- anything really, even a handkerchief or a piece of toilet paper -- that reduces the chance of infection by 50% for example, there will be only half as many infections compared to the case where nobody wore anything.

After a few rounds of 50% reduection, even a mediocre mask will be able to reduce the number of cases by 99%. And that's all we need to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.

It depends. You _can_ define minimum and maximum over empty sets exactly as described and get a consistent mathematical system.

But eg Python's minimum and maximum functions don't do that. They throw an error by default.

In mathematical terms, if you have a lattice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(order) you can always just arbitrarily introduce a least and greatest element, and all the relevant laws stay valid.

Whether that's a good idea for your application or not, is a different question.

In programming, types often give you trouble. Eg the integers don't have least or greatest element, but you want your minimum function over list of integers to return an integer. So throwing an error is the only choice, if you can't represent something like minus infinity in your return type.

NSO Group Wants to Track and Stop Coronavirus
There's certainly some broken window logic being applied, but not 100%. There's no doubt that some economic decisions (investments, employment choices,etc.) made before the virus would not have been made given what we know now. If we had an impossibly flexible economy where everyone could be immediately rehired as deliverers and expert physicians and restaurants and assets could be reatomized into hospitals and toilet paper then maybe the impact could be very small. It's possible that in such a world the investment decisions made not knowing the virus was coming wouldn't differ much from the decisions that would have been made with perfect prescience. But in reality there will be some cost caused by the difference in economic choices made not knowing this was coming. The sum over everyone's future income streams will be smaller than they would have been because of worse resource allocation. I agree it won't be the full $3T but don't have the expertise to estimate it.
The opposite is likely true. For example, the big companies making bentos for the Japanese railway are having their workers come in only 2 days a week. There is no demand and therefore no work. If you are even remotely ill, there is no way you are going to get to work -- there is a healthy person who is desperate to get those hours.
Yes and no. The economic benefits of globalized supply chains are real. The question is not whether or not supply chains should be globalized but how to ensure their safety in the event of a global disruption?

It's days like these that I'm really sad that more Americans don't do military service. Ensuring the long-term viability of large, generally dormant stockpiles is the core competency of the military in peacetime, because the military needs to spin up large numbers of resources on a dime when necessary and can't take several months or years to do so in the face of an imminent attack.

My argument is that the military should maintain large manufacturing capacity that is generally dormant during peacetime (when it is too expensive compared to a globalized supply chain) so that it can be spun up in the event of global supply chain disruptions.

In a day and age where security needs have more to do with economics than geopolitical control, it should arguably be the military's highest priority.

How to Clarify Your Long-Term Strategy
Correct. That is the point this article is making.

"all in the array are true" is not specific about how the empty case ought to be interpreted. That's not at all to say all([]) ought to be False; the wording is simply under-specified.

Where as "there is none in the array that is false" is clearly True when all([]) is encountered.

Thus the statement cannot be simplified to the English statement "all in the array are true", without introducing ambiguities.

As a general rule, this is why we don't perform mathematics (or programming) in English.

EDIT: Just to clarify why this is ambiguous, in case anyone reading is still not following (although I'd suggest reading the article!)

English is an (informally) consensus based language. Understanding boolean logic is not a precursor to being able to interpret common language, in particular English. Just because one has knowledge of logic (mathematics) and we happen to have given some operation the English name "all", that does not mean the English word "all" in general speech refers to this logical operation. Especially since, as the article describes, the mathematical consensus for this logic has only largely shifted to be interpreted this way in the last several hundred years. The English word "all" predates the current mathematical consensus (which isn't even universal) by thousands of years.

Additionally, if for some reason you are interpreting the written word "all" (no matter the context) as the logical operation, then "all in the array are true" is not a viable definition for this word, it's self-referential and thus ambiguous. "there is none in the array that is false" on the other hand is clear in its meaning (if not slightly grammatically incorrect).

That is only true if using a language that doesn't not offer mechanisms to have deterministic destruction, when required to do so.

Winning the benchmarks game is meaningless, other than "I fell good" kind of thing.

What matters is having the language features that allow to optimize the 1% of the code base, when it actually impact the acceptance criteria of project delivery.

I have been replacing C++ systems with Java and .NET based solutions since 2006, it hardly matters that C++ wins in the micro-benchmarks.

And if really needed, only that 1% gets packed into a C++ library with managed language bindings, turning C++ into our "unsafe" module.
> Where is the use of SNS?

Right, the SQS part is very misleading: "SQS has 1 consumer" is technically true (although it's actually one group of competing consumers), but in practice, you get fan-out to zero or more consumers easily, by wiring SNS and SQS together (one SNS topic, multiple attached SQS queues).

> No RDS...

Without also mentioning RDS with DynamoDB, you can't make meaningful choices between them.

It also omits the one big benefit of DynamoDB: single-digit number of milliseconds to read a record by primary key, regardless of scale, due to sharding on that key.

Another reason we must have `all([]) == True`, because `any([])` should obviously be `False`.

`all(x) == not any([not v for v in x])`

so `all([]) == not any([])` -> `True`

Jup, but they are already at their test capacity so they already need to priorize who is beeing tested.

So unless you have the lab infrastructure in place already (I don't know how it is in Japan), you can't really invent it out of thin air in the midst of a crisis.

The truth is that neoliberal ideology all around the globe did its best to make hospitals and health systems "more economic" by cutting (at the time) unneeded capacities, without any real concern about the resillience of the system as a whole. This is (aside from timing and culture) where you see the main difference between nations today. This is e.g. why Spain decided the privatization of their hospitals was a grave mistake.
Hi, a co-founder here. My name is Andrey.
Actually, Plotly is our source of inspiration in a way. However, I think, the problem we are trying to solve lies a different direction.
Just a few points to show how we are different:
1. We would like to support Plotly as one of the plot libraries (which is super great by the way). In addition we'd like to support many other libraries – anything that the user is using, incl. ggplot2, Matplotlib, Bokeh, etc.
2. We would like to combine the approaches Plotly offers in two different products (Chart Studio and Dash) into one and simplify the process of reporting data and the process of organizing dashboards.
3. Ideally, we'd like to help companies also organize and simplify their security around accessing the data.
4. We'd like to help build dashboards easier – by eliminating the needs of development entirely.

Just also want to mention, that our current offering and all other basic functionality that we will add, such as permission control, dashboards, etc will remain free.
Anyway, it's just a start for us to really learn what our potential customers and users are doing and build that things that are currently missing – not blindly copying anyone's features.
Having said that, I'd still like to thank you for your feedback. In case you have an idea of how we can help your teams collaborate around data, please let me know andrey at dstack.ai
> But if the allowable uses and time-frame were set into law

They were with the Patriot Act, though. And many of its provisions are still being routinely extended.

The problem is that once all this data starts flowing in, government agencies who want to use it will find loopholes to apply it in scenarios it wasn't intended to be used, but which the law didn't anticipate. And then, once it proves useful for something important, they'll point at it as the evidence that it's too useful to allow to expire. Again, we've seen that with Patriot Act - originally passed solely to "combat terrorism", DoJ is now justifying their asks for extensions by, among other things, the need to fight child porn. Which means that any politician who votes to not extend it, risks being painted by their opponents as aiding and abetting sexual predators.

This has all the potential to be an order of magnitude worse. A real-time location database for practically every person in US would get all law enforcement agencies salivating immediately. And worse yet, it will actually let them solve otherwise unsolvable crimes etc, and set up a showcase. Probably terrorism and/or child porn again, because it pushes so many emotional buttons at once. And who would dare say that it's not justifiable, because child porn is less of an issue than coronavirus? More importantly, who would get elected after saying that?

That's the real danger of creeping police state - it works more or less as advertised, and it's just too easy to ignore all the "abstract" stuff about freedom and privacy (until you're its target - but most people don't expect to be one, and most of them won't be). So every inch that it gets is nearly impossible to wrestle back.
about your last point : it mentions doing random sampling periodically to get a better assessment of the spread, in order to be able to cut lockdowns when the epidemic is already touching 99% of the population ( and not wait weeks until we see the numbers drop in hospitals).

> You _can_ define minimum and maximum over empty sets exactly as described and get a consistent mathematical system.

You can define infimum and supremum that way. But I was under the impression that wherever the concept of a "minimum element" of a set is used, the minimum element of any set must be an element of that set.

So e.g. the positive reals have an infimum, 0, but no minimum. The page you link doesn't do much to dispute this idea; it uses "minimum" and "maximum" to talk about the largest and smallest elements of the lattice, but never to talk about a property that a subset of the lattice might have.
