Mean age of control group is 15 years older than experimental too.
Less competition. Twenty years even if a company manufactured something in China the sales channel for a product was dependent on the company giving the company ability to control/level the price.

Today the supplier can not only sell to the company but to the consumers directly significantly cutting company's ability to level the price so the company is forced to drop the more expensive suppliers

It downgrades when bandwidth constraints and congestion start bothering _it_. By the time all the Netflixes which are competing with you do so, your Zoom conference will be long gone. Netflix is quite tolerant of an unreliable network. Many work-from-home things, VC in particular, less so.
Apart from the false dichotomy (the fact that HTML is a document format and that its structure plays an important role in browser layout are both true), I totally agree with you.

Warning: chloroquine has strong side-effects, and very high toxicity, unfortunately pretty close to therapeutic doses, that may cause serious arrhythmia, and even heart attacks. Don't ever try to self-medicate with chloroquine.
See https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-ar... for an overview of their stack.

They do NOT need a stack of daily traffic analytics hardware. As I said above, remote RPCs take an order of magnitude more resources than function calls. If you are used to using various distributed tools to do analytics, you are used to requiring an order of magnitude more hardware than a simpler solution. And if there are inefficiencies in your solution, it is easy for a second order of magnitude to sneak in. Therefore your experience is going to seriously mislead you about the likely limits of a simpler solution.

Making this concrete, if your job requires a Hadoop cluster of less than 50 machines, odds are good that it could be run just fine on a single machine with a different technology choice. But if you are fully utilizing hundreds of machines in your cluster, then you actually need to be distributed. (Though you could achieve considerable savings for some of your jobs could be run in a more efficient architecture. Amazon in particular makes excellent use of this kind of hybrid architecture in places.)

Google is making excellent decisions for the scale that they operate on. You just are unlikely to operate at a scale that makes their decisions make much sense for you.
Ifconfig wins on the following

Eh. The performance and the notation is important to me, and I haven't seen a lot of benchmarks (or any...) indicating that J is particularly fast. And from what I understand, even Iverson eventually decided that J was a step backward from his notation-first APL.

But mostly what I'm wondering is if those downloads are 32bit-only, or time-limited in the software, or memory limited, or if it's a winzip-esque honor system limitation. Not as interested in the license.

I think you mean that for example, the US pollution standard needs to be fulfilled by Volkswagen if they like to export VW cars to the USA.

However the OP meant more than that: that the VW workers, employed for example in Mexico, who assemble cars for US export would get the same worker rights as they would get in the USA.

And the same would hold for pollution at the factory and so on.

I'm saying to take the whole operation into anonymous space. Or replace it with one that is. It could be Tor, or perhaps Loki, based on what little I know about it so far. And pay with cryptocurrencies.

As someone said, "Scale is the problem (almost) everyone wants and (almost) no one has." Technologies like Kubernetes were developed from managing monster-sized applications like Facebook, Amazon, and Google. Devs really want to play with the cool tech, but unless they work for a FAANG company, the odds are good that not only do they not have those problems now, they will never have those problems.

That's not to say that things like containers are useless. I've seen a lot of benefits from developers working on containerization because it forces them to think about making their code reproducible and automating their development and delivery models. That has huge benefits from a security perspective, even if the end result is that you take the artifacts produced and rsync them onto a remote VM in the datacenter and restart services. There's lots of good to be gained there—I just wish people would quit trying to forklift everything into containers (and thence into the cloud) when they don't have to.
> unfortunately, every company in the world is required to comply with US sanctions if they do any business at all in the United States, e.g. serving US-based customers. This includes even interacting with US banking infrastructure. So being headquartered somewhere else doesn't help; you have to comply. And US sanctions as written do not allow us to provide commercial services or services which could be used commercially to sanctioned countries.

How come DHL is able to ship packages to sanctioned countries? I understand there are some limitations to what can be sent there from the US, but it seems like they are able to do so from other countries. Is the DHL US a separate entity or is there something else I'm missing?
The findings they're claiming are nothing short of miraculous, and I think the people who were behind the trial, as well as everybody else even remotely interested in this (the entire world, I would say) should and likely does support a broader trial.

I always wondered who thought it was a good idea to make a gaming console with seven cores in 2006. iirc, most pc games at the time barely used more than one thread. even in 2020, most games have a main thread that pegs one core at 100% and creates a hard ceiling for fps. what were they thinking?

Doesn't sound ideal for distancing.
China has achieved both the approximate local elimination of the virus and the ability to detect new infections.

I believe that this is a counter-argument to claims that any quarantine strategy faces the virus "bouncing back" afterwards.

Social distancing, aggressive testing and contact tracing together should be able to put a local end to the virus regardless of the situation in other parts of the world. Now, is what's needed.

Because we really can't afford or even survive the alternative.
Thank you!

There is a HUGE cost to "shelter-in-place". People's businesses and jobs depend on customers going out and using their services, and without customers, they won't have jobs, business will fail, and people will get hurt, and die. (Hopefully fewer now that Trump's doing a bail out.)

Shelter-in-place may be the right thing to do, now that that containment has failed, because people will get hurt and die otherwise, but containment wasn't doomed to failure from the start. It's wrong to frame it that way. It's like running for the bus. You don't have to run as fast as a bus can possibly, you only have to run fast enough to catch it before it leaves the bus stop.

Containment isn't supposed to last forever, it lasts as long as it lasts. It absolutely required far more aggressive action to be successful, and one of those was testing. Which we dropped the ball on.

About what percent of push notification requests do you accept? I think my percentage is 0, and the number of requests is high tens if not hundreds. I don't trust browser notifications at all.

Here's some stats:
https://www.businessofapps.com/marketplace/push-notification...

Opt-in rates are around 65%, open rate is between 1 and 10%, I suspect some percentage of those opt-in rates were unintentional or coerced and some percentage of those opens were click bate or accident. so <2.5% of notifications were desired.

I think it's safe to assume a significant portion of the opt-ins and notifications were desired-not.

Based on this information, I would consider notifications undesirable.
It's the other way around. The experimental group is older. That would suggest that HCQ would do even better if the ages were matched.

Dunno how it is in the States, but here in UK rolling out the tech is basically the first thing they do after the unavoidable "have you tried turning it on and off again" phone call. They just don't trust the customer to have any clue and maybe don't want to waste time doing troubleshooting at their end when it's "probably" a downstream issue.
Users care about security (at least a lot). That's why they don't install every random app that they could.
> I never said supply chains should be slower or less dynamic, I said they should be less centralized and thus more robust, and arguably critical goods manufacturing absolutely also need a domestic presence.

If manufacturing supply chains are more geographically dispersed they are automatically slower and less dynamic. They're not necessarily more robust either. As soon as the supply chain involves moving materials farther than a few hour drive by truck it becomes constrained by modes of transport that can't be easily dispersed (rail, air, water) or reprioritized.

> Right, it's building factories in the right places, and ensuring they can tolerate disruptions.

As demonstrated by...all of history since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution the right location for a factory today is not necessarily the right location for tomorrow. Relocating factories is expensive and difficult in the best circumstances. Every factory has a logistics train attached to it; not just equipment and trained workers but power requirements, waste disposal, physical siting requirements, and dozens of other factors. Some are easy to uproot and others are not.

Again, I'm not arguing that China should just make everything and all factories should be located next to one another. I am saying that manufacturing is not like AWS. You can't just spin up new instances when you run out of capacity. You can't just move everything to a new factory closer to some resource or retool a factory for a totally different type of production with a deploy script.

> Corporations should have more responsibilities to quantify and manage risks like this.

Some do and several industries are regulated when it comes to sourcing. Defense contractors have all sorts of supply chain requirements. More industries can have supply chain security requirements but then end products will get more expensive. The added cost will get pushed to consumers. So you can optimize for the common case where pandemics are rare but manufacturing tends towards consolidation and low cost or you can optimize for robustness and everything manufactured carries with it the amortized cost of that more robust but expensive supply chain. Unless regulation forces all manufactured items to have a similarly robust supply chain and all manufacturers have the same burden, there's a competitive advantage to having a supply chain more susceptible to rare disruption but far less expensive.
McConnell Plan to give $1,200 to individuals, $2,400 to couples
The police almost only abuse very poor people. Eliminating poverty with redistribution and active labor market policies would mean fewer targets. Better housing and land use policies would help by allowing people to live in mixed communities rather than concentrating poor people into ghettos. Making policing an easier job would attract less problematic people. Hiring a lot more cops and banning guns would greatly reduce the stress cops are under. The cops in prosperous, egalitarian places are generally pretty chill, so the idea is to recreate those conditions.

I have minor symptoms, and have been self-isolating since Wednesday (18) because many people around me were coughing on Monday (16) & Tuesday (17). The government here in NZ has not issued any lockdown instructions.

Due to comments here on HN, I decided to buy 4x 1.5 litres of ordinary Schweppes tonic water. Panic buying had not yet struck (it has now, but mostly bread, pasta, and toilet roll). I shared one bottle around the office, and gave one to my homestay family.

I've been drinking about 3 glasses per day, a litre at most. It's a sub-clinical dose for sub-clinical symptoms. The bitterness causes immediate sputum production in my mouth. Despite feeling a sore throat yesterday, I haven't yet started coughing.

I'm advocating for it in direct messages to friends: not because it's some miracle cure for the virus, but because it eases the coughing symptoms and thus might slow the spread. The placebo effect is probably also very real: I feel like I'm doing something, and that calms me down.

Ostensibly, LOL is about how LISPs work, but in reality it’s a much more fundamental look into how execution and scoping do what they do, why, the semantics, etc. I mostly write Python now, but I have a much deeper appreciation and understanding of object orientation from reading LOL. You may find the same with SICP.

> That wasn't the start of the hoax...

The only perpetrator that would provide an excuse for baselessly accusing the US military would have to be the US government. So when did they fabricate that hoax? Was it when the FBI started cracking down on spies in January? Are they the ones that pressured the Mounties to start clearing their level-4 labs of Chinese virologists last year?

> ...the blame for these hoaxes does not rest on the Chinese.

The lying and secrecy creates the environment in which that sort of thing thrives. At some point you can't characterize predictable consequences as victim blaming, for many the benefit of doubt was lost pretty early on, following the crackdown on doctors and journalists who accurately described events.

> When you feel we are encountering an unprecedented level of misinformation, why do you think that your information is untainted?

Let me be more clear: China lying about something is to be expected. What is unprecedented is the combination of two things: the lie being told has severe and unavoidable consequences to everyone, and the means to combat the lies are not only open to all - but are actively being employed to do so. The beauty of opensource intelligence is that any potential for manipulation can be quantified in a way that secretly sourced data cannot.
