Coronavirus Diary: Ethically sourcing data to fight the pandemic
This is the conundrum. People want manufacturing here and also want it to be super high paying with skills learned in a few days. People also want to buy things at the dollar store. If all the things at the dollar store were made by US workers, there wouldn't be dollar stores. Dollar stores exploded after Clinton opened up trade with China. Want people really want is buying power even if they don't understand it. It is also why I personally feel we are better off with removing all wage taxes on the poor than trying to push minimum wage higher and higher. Rich people don't shop at Wal-Mart. If everyone there makes $20/hour, it just makes it more expensive for the same people who now make "more" money (and they'll pay more taxes). If costs rise just like wages, buying power doesn't increase and could actually go down even if someone "makes" more.
Great resource.

Please, pour your time into this app. Check it out, build a bit, commit. Don't kibitz about legal issues, HIPAA, app store policy, funding, etc. Yes, I know. I'm in healthcare, working this at the federal policy level, attorneys, senior tech folks and senior federal officials are involved.

The policymakers and healthcare leadership are asking for answers that the data science teams tell us the current data can't provide. We need higher resolution data, and we need it now. Thus, this app, which collects data on device and only ships it to a backend if the user authorizes it.

I need you to build it. You need you to build it. Your family needs you to build it. There are two possible worst case scenarios: 1) we're in the thick of it now, and this is going to blow up now. 2) we luck out, spring weather saves us, and it comes back with a vengeance in October or November.

Need more developers:

* security engineer

* iOS engineer

* Android developer

* Dart engineers

* Flutter developers

* Engineers with health industry experience

* backend infrastructure

* backend security

Goal: 1-2 months to MVP deployment. Maybe sooner if people pile on.
Say I speak a foreign language with very important message to an audience that doesn't understand this language at all. Nobody in the audience understood the message after I spoke. Does what I said matter? I would consider the communication has failed completely.

edit: But I guess WSJ wasn't speaking to Chinese. Anyway I can only see the misunderstanding deepens and deepens between U.S. and China. Language is one of the contributing factor. Western media is not incentivized to report truth but stories with most clicks. And it's hard for regular westerners to verify those stories without understanding Mandarin or talk to Chinese.
Does Blink ship with vi? It's not listed in the set of utilities on its website.
Apple user since 1985 here. Apple has made some marvellous things, but if we actually look at their entire history, innovation has happened in lurches, it’s not like every single thing they ship upends and redefines entire categories.

Tons of stuff the do is incremental, and yes, lots of dead-ends happen. Just look at the history of their mice. Or Newton. Or their tepid ventures into consoles, Macs that doubled as TVs, or CD-ROM drives that were also standalone CD players.

It seems overkill to you because you don't have a need for it. That's like saying a Ryzen 3900X is over kill because it has 12 cores in it. Overkill for you maybe, but not for those that need the core count.
How are you managing stress?
Obviously some of us have more stressful jobs than others normally, what methods have you found that have helped you manage that stress?

Now that COVID-19 is a thing, how are you managing that stress?

I'm so incredibly stressed.

We share desks with another shift at work and have 4-5 feet between desks in an open office, I net about $465 a week (would be 510ish but repaying 401k loan), my 67 year old mother with immune and a myriad of other health issues lives with me, I'm supposed to be getting married in 66 days and my fiance is currently in Missouri living at her parents while finishing a teaching year while I am in Indiana and we don't even know if the courthouse here will be open when we go to get the marriage license next month now. As of writing this I'm 7 months, 27 days, 8 hours, 5 minutes sober and alcohol is my traditional stress coping mechanism which I largely replaced with strength sports but the gyms are closed by order of local government...

Will I get the virus from work, will I have a job tomorrow working in international freight, will I have one in a month, will my food prep feed my mother and I long enough if we get confined to home as groceries have been void of staples since Friday evening, will I kill my immune compromised mother by bringing the virus home from work.

This looks like a decent MBA, however it feels a little bit too late.

I got rid of my MBA 2013 in 2018, in hopes to get a proper replacement, but the unreliable keyboard and weak spec stopped me from getting one. Eventually, I got tired of waiting. Tried linux, first at work (with System76/Pop!_OS), then at my home laptop (Manjaro and Pop!_OS), and I don't think I'm coming back to Apple.

Yes, linux requires some adjustments to your workflows and playflows, but I was surprised how little. And as with everything, the more you are at it, the easier and more natural it becomes.

The only thing I'm really missing is iOS development. However, that might be a good thing, and if I really need to do it I've got a MBP 2012 waiting for me in the basement (although, it will be obsolete really soon).

I use an iPad Air for light webdev work. Built my personal website with it, using a few handy apps.

Working Copy is an excellent Git client and pretty good text editor, Shellfish is great for FTP/SFTP.

Other good editors include Buffer and Textastic. Terminus is a great terminal client (though the pro edition is pricey).

Pythonista is a surprisingly powerful Python environment – with a bit of work I got Django working on it. Codea is the same for Lua. DraftCode is good for PHP, though more limited. Can run Wordpress and other PHP CMSs. There's other apps for JS/Node.

Inspect gives on-device browser developer tools. Not the best but still useful.

Plus, there's iSH, a Testflight-only app that provides a mostly complete Alpine Linux environment. Managed to get Git/Ruby/Jekyll running on it to develop a site locally, though it was slow.

I agree. It's not that tech incumbents are less slow these, they are still quite slow, it's that if your only advantage over them is the ability to push out code, consider that they have armies of average, but good enough developers and WILL outcode you once you've proven your idea is worth money. They also have far more to spend on marketing, litigation, etc.
So if all you're doing is the same things Google can do, just slightly faster and under the radar, prepare for a huge onslaught later on.

Google got big because they embraced the web early on and put themselves in the position of the anti-Microsoft.
Microsoft got big because they embraced software abstractions early on, in the form of compilers, multiplatform office software and later on operating systems, and they were the anti-IBM.
IBM got big because...

Until we come up with the next big paradigm shift, the incumbents will just keep on copying startups, or buying them up.
if scientific theories lie on a spectrum of certainty, then "prove" is at the maximum end of that spectrum

the "extreme skepticism" you claim the OP has seems more like a cautionary statement about avoiding the extreme assumption that a scientific theory can be "proven"

As pointed out by another, it is also a stand. Now I expect the mechanical work has to be pretty superb to guarantee it can keep the iPad at the angle you choose. I cannot wait for a tear down of the stand.

I am a bit confused by the usb-c port for pass through charging. I would have thought a great opportunity would be to have the stand be able to wireless charge the iPad while in use but I expect the power requirements of an iPad in use would exceed current standards.

Regardless, the interesting point to me is with keyboard, pencil, and such, the price point overlap with their laptop line makes we wonder about rumors of an ARM chipped line of Macs. Without the processor difference price comparisons are going to be much more difficult to blow off

Up until late 2018, my MBA 2013 was doing ok with a stack transitioning to full js/ts. Now it’s close to unusable as our projects build multiple containers, load hundreds of node packages etc. Unfortunately, the 2019 MBA isn’t much better. I’m still wondering whether to hold until a new MBP 13/14”, or give this a try.

I love how a keyboard that works is not considered a "feature" on a Mac. My apple IIc keyboard still working great.
Apart from the arguable “yearly”, that’s just efficiency in practice. When you look at the US, you see the same thing: there isn’t a large movie industry in each state, but there is one Hollywood (and one Broadway for theatre). Attracting all talent and capital from the entire continent allows for a level of economies of scale and quality refinement that makes it absolutely dominant worldwide. The same process happened for Silicon Valley / Bay Area, or even Detroit back in the day - it’s not like they were only making cars for Illinois and immediate surroundings...

I’m Italian and I can see our country becoming such a centre of attraction in certain fields (fashion and advertising in Milan, for example; food in Emilia; motor-racing in Romagna; tourism in Tuscany...). I’m not terribly worried that our widget-making capabilities have lowered - we are still paying the economic and social price of 60s-style industry in some areas (Taranto, Pozzuoli etc).

In the end it always boils down to this annoying tribalism - in a global world, thinking that French and Germans and Italians and Spanish must be separate and autonomous little tribes, is as silly as thinking that Nice or Lyon should be completely separate and autonomous from Paris and Calais.
I would expect contractors to be let go and/or contracts not refreshed at the nearest decision point at nearly all companies.
The inverted-T arrow keys help you fly through lines of code, spreadsheets, or game environments.

That sentence made me check again...

...and yes, it's the same layout of the arrow keys that was there 14 years ago. If they were advertising new full size arrow keys that would definitely be worth mentioning, but I'm not sure why they had to draw attention to that particular aspect... especially given that half-height arrow keys are one of the more annoying things about laptop keyboards in general.
No, we can say they're human or an artificial general intelligence.
Personally, I use a bit of an ecclectic mix depending on the class. Online classes can be nicely informal in some ways. (I used to teach for an Australian metro uni, but have been teaching mixed on-campus / online classes at a smaller regional uni for 5+ years)

Hmm, maybe to explain how informal, I should post links to some bits of my units that can be seen outside the uni:

On the low-end, this has the first couple of weeks of my Scala unit, taught to a small on-campus and larger online cohort. (Minus quizzes and assessment).

So far, so traditional (but you'll already spot a mix of desktop recordings and in-class recordings).

Though that's partly just me doing a "redux" on interactive smart materials from my PhD many years ago

For more "social" courses (HCI, Software Development Studio), I have an open source (but badly documented) system I built for students to submit videos to each other for critique. 2016 paper describing it here: http://2016conference.ascilite.org/wp-content/uploads/ascili...

I also use Slack extensively in some units.

Desktop recording usually via OBS, though I used to just use Quicktime when recording on my Macbook Pro. On the "what do you desktop-record with?" side, I tend to use an AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser microphone via a Scarlett 2i2 into the computer. That way it rarely needs any post-production as it's fairly clear in the raw recording.

The main thing is to remember that although they like you to be somewhat watchable, they're usually more led by what you want them to do. Assessments, tutorials, etc. It's not watched end-to-end like Netflix shows. So be personable, but don't feel you need to panic too much about high production values.

Pardon that being a quick and rough post - there's lots of good comments on here already.
I do exactly this. OBS is, in my opinion, what you want. It's worth learning for this problem alone.

In short: get OBS installed and started. Then add the web cam as a camera source to the default scene. Then load up PowerPoint, Google Slides, whatever, and add that window as a "Windows Source". Make sure the web camera is above the "Window Source" in the list of sources - they're like layers on a cake. You can edit the web camera source in the live preview to then be a box in one of the lower corners (this is called picture-in-picture).

I recommend crafting the slides to support having a picture-in-picture setup.

Here's a (very large, sorry) example lecture I did for Chester University in England: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xT31CU8Lfob88FxaDXAVWy-uXC... -- skip to about 3-4 minutes in to see how I'm presenting the slides, then jump to about 22m in to see how I present a terminal for programming needs.

Reach out and let me know if I can help you or your wife with this. I'm keen to help anyone having to go remote for this sort of thing.
bought macbook pro in 2017. Due to the issue with double typing keyboard I always regret everyday. And there is screen issue also. Probably they will charge $300. Looks like I did the worst investment in my life.
I'm not saying it should be false. It's the law of the excluded middle that forces us to make a true/false decision, in which case I can agree that, for mathematical reasons, it should be true.

For practical reasons, it might be better for it to be false. That would require some empirical research on whether this could actually prevent harmful behavior in practice.

From a design perspective, I would argue that "all" should not be defined for empty lists, because that forces people to consider whether the often-forgotten "empty list" edge case might cause an issue.
to follow up on gus_massa's point, it's not the "math" of an evolutionary thoery/agorithm that's being "proved" here; it's the assertion that it "proves" something about the environment it's trying to model

and saying you've "proved" something about natural events is probably bad practice

What most people use a computer for these days are not what we use a computer for. Most people probably require little except a phone for most computing needs.

* Getting a convenient dock and better physical keyboard.
* Surfing on an iPad is probably a lot better and fast experience than a similarly priced computer.
* A lot of dedicated apps for most tasks people need. (Youtube, Spotify, Netflix, etc)
* People use email/dropbox/similar for sharing files.
* File browser definitely needs improvement. Specially for working with email attachments.
* As long as you can edit videos recorded with your phone/ipad.
* Most people use the built in camera and mic or perhaps a dedicated computer for conferencing.
* Getting Excel on it would be sufficient for business programming.
The refined scissor mechanism with 1 mm of travel delivers a responsive, comfortable, and quiet typing experience. The inverted-T arrow keys help you fly through lines of code, spreadsheets, or game environments.

This isn't progress. This is the baseline. Apple have gone from bad to OK, and they're celebrating as though they've achieved something amazing.
The Fed has $4 trillion of assets on their balance sheets right now. They'll find something to sell.

Anyway, they're not buying subprime auto loans or overinflated stocks. They're buying long term risk-free debt, and are going to start buying commercial paper (which has some risk, but not much).

They really did buy lots of different stuff during the financial crisis, and yet they never lost control of inflation.
