What isn't oddball about it?

It's designed to work as a garbage-collected replacement for C's malloc. That alone is enough to establish its oddballness.

Any large system that makes the mistake of using it soon discovers its limitations. Not that it's a bad system per se - it achieves its design goals, it's just that its design goals are, to put it mildly, oddball.

Basically, it's designed to allow systems that really should be written in a garbage-collected language, to kinda-sorta get away without that - up to a point.
Most of those changes were AFTER this data represents. The situation escalated very quickly.

I have a niche SaaS that helps brick and mortar retail stores in North America. There was a drastic shift on Thursday. And it escalated daily.

To give a sense of the speed and scale of the shift. All of 2020, at least 1/2 of stores were up at least 10% daily (great growth for retail).

On Thursday, a majority of stores were down for the first time all year. By Sunday, 3/4 of stores were down at least 10%. On Monday, 1/4 of stores were down 50% for the day.

I am not looking forward to reviewing the numbers tonight.
I thought about this too. Imagine a glove that had thousands of micro pores (like your skin) that would secrete a tiny droplet of Purell. But not enough to be wet. Just enough to create a layer of evaporating sanitizer between the glove and the surface. Possibly pressure activated so it's not secreting all the time.
Sometimes it’s nice to have a list view. Google maps only provides geolocated results in a small list so you’d have to move around the city quite a bit to find the whole list.

It can be useful to be remembered of places you like but haven’t been in a while as well.
It's now legal for a bank with $1,000,000,000 in deposits to have absolutely zero cash available to pay out those deposits if people want their cash out.

What could go wrong.
> life saving equipment doesn't have to be sold for $11,000.

Production costs don't really enter into it. The actual breakdown is probably more like:

Production costs: $25
FDA approval: $100 million dollars
Well in that case you are using a cloud-based service, it makes sense that you have to authenticate. But I was writing and building C++ code just fine locally, and I could have continued doing that if it wasn't for the dark pattern.
> The scientists found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel.

New rule is gonna be 48 hour quarantine for any packages.
I'm sure the cost of these valves are not in the production but in the research of coming up with the design to produce and other things before production. So they price in order to recoup already spent money and get some profit on it too. For sure it doesn't cost them 11k to make.
I agree completely, but these companies need to make their policies transparent so the users will have an informed choice about their platform.

Yet for some reason, TikTok wants to hide this story. Why do you think that is?
Those content platforms use keywords to automatically find pictures to help journalists.

All of those photos would show up for "coronavirus" regardless of the context. It's just a...non-issue?
> To go big like SpaceX requires you to be all in. Elon nearly went broke a couple times. He's willing to take that risk because he's in it for the results, not the money.

You could also argue that this is exactly the problem with Elon. He constantly makes statements that are completely out of bounds or fraudulent ($420 funding secured, solar shingles, auto pilot claims, vehicle safety concerns, rocket explosions, etc).

I would argue this is reckless and will end up causing way more harm than good at the end of this. If you don't have risk management, you aren't going to be effectively run safety critical companies.

> SpaceX could just own the launch industry by cutting cost for a while, or sit back and enjoy higher profits from reusability.

The launch industry is extraordinarily small all things considered, and there's no way SpaceX would be able to justify its valuation without pie-in-the-sky dreams like Starlink as well.

Thanks for putting this together. I’d recommend adding some indicator that the results load async. I thought you had zero restaurants in Austin and left the page after a second because there was no loading indicator. In fact, until I got to Pittsburgh, I thought it was a site with no listings asking for my email (because Pittsburgh loads way faster).

(Adding an index to your database for city or however the queries are formed would probably also help).

This article feels like low quality clickbait to me. The company isn’t even named, and there’s no source given for the claim that a lawsuit was threatened.

If I understand the expert correctly N95 are good and masks for everyone would be good, but there aren't enough for everyone.
At least in the US, I believe so long as you do not sell or transfer items, you can make them for your own use without licensing the patent. To win a law suit, the company would have to "show harm". They can't. They lost exactly zero sales.
Various headlines as different states open up application options, see below. A reduction in hours or cuts to zero may be considered constructive dismissal and allow collection of benefits but many states are allowing expedited collection or no wait times. Layoffs have hit hard and these types of headlines have floated around for a lot of states.

What is Amp? My feeling is that YouTube has special rules which favor these tv networks. I'm noticing the same trend in YouTube results for my own country's political news, albeit on a smaller scale. The major broadcasters videos seems boosted somehow.

This is amazing, and I am incredibly glad someone has put in the legwork to see this to fruition. I spent hours with it as a kid, both with it and its unofficial successor Megazeux.

ZZT was a fun game creation system out of the box, but what always impressed me was some of the stuff that the community managed to come up with - mostly documented in the ZZT encyclopedia series as well as the Super Toolkit. It pushed the engine far beyond the limits of what it was intended for, and some the projects done with it absolutely blew my mind.

It was unfortunate that the source was lost, and for a long time the best you could do, aside from DOSbox, were projects like DreamZZT which, while admirable, didn't accurately emulate all of the peculiarities that many games relied on. But now this exists. Thank you.
$11,000 for a plastic valve. Unreal. No wonder hospitals are always stretched to the limit when they're being gouged like this.

Think of it this way, a hospital could buy 10 valves or hire a physician for a year. Are these valves typically re-used? Are they going through them faster because they don't want to risk infecting other people?

A bit of a tangent but Mensa is not an acronym and should not be written in all capital letters. Some of their typeface choices over the years may have created confusion about this.
"Maybe together they can cut production costs so this life saving equipment doesn't have to be sold for $11,000

It's not the unit cost, it's the R&D that's expensive.

The $5000 screwdriver definitely is a thing, if you need 5 Engineers to design it but only ever make 5 of them, to be used on the Space Shuttle for example.
Already has been in my house. At least one study has shown survival on steel and plastic at about a week.

The data for each scene hasn't been streamed to the GPU in a long time, not since the first few generations of GeForce cards. "Vertex buffers" store the geometry in the GPU's RAM, so it's there. The game engine just swaps out buffers as things come in and out of view.

I have the same questions as you regarding how this works with respect to offloading the the scene graph data structures though.
The web was never a commons. It all rests on accessing content hosted by privately owned platforms. The commons is SMTP, SNTP, and IRC. Digital natives don't care about these because they aren't shiny and expect that the free stuff they've been given all their life is an inalienable right.

FDA approval is a big, big line item too.

For drugs, it's something like $2 billion up front before you sell a single pill. For medical devices it's not as much, but still can be in the tens to hundreds of millions.
Personally, I've read a lot of GNU/FSF doctrine, and to me it feels very one-sided and dogmatic. I know that the FSF has been one of the loudest voices in the fight for free software, but maybe it wasn't the best one. Especially given the founder.
Sneeze, although it’s got a long tail (approx 30 ft, which is ridiculous).

Bezos has an Electrical Engineering degree, which I would argue is more important to running an engineering company than a Physics degree, though bachelors degrees are pretty much irrelevant regardless. And there's no one who works for Bezos who would ever claim him to be hands-off.
But in this case, it'd be for the hospital's use, so they would have lost sales technically and it'd be easy to show harm.
I totally agree with this. I have worked in stable, long term, revenue generating projects that relied on java and its slow stable releases. I now cherish that we could focus on features and not have a "Migrate to Java x.x" story looming upon us.

With NodeJs, its a semi-annual affair to move and migrate or face unexpected broken 'npm install' commands. Fix the tooling, fix CI/CD, ignore warnings, application upgrades now require installing newer Node versions, no backward compatibility guarantees of any kind. Its a fool's errand.

I hate to see Java go this route. I don't think this will end well for the Java ecosystem.
I guess I'm thinking it more from the perspective of third parties like insurance. Gender reassignment is generally covered by health insurance and exclusions may be classified as unlawful sex discrimination.

On the other hand, your health insurance could easily create subjective definitions to deny coverage. Because unlike gender dysphoria, beauty is not binary.

With Gender Dysphoria there is only one direction when it comes to re-assignment options, and it is fully documented that this surgery is beneficial for the patient's mental health.

With beauty/ugliness, there are hundreds of possible permutations and no documented precedence to validate that this is a necessary surgery.
They are suspending 3rd party sellers to prioritize, not stopping actual delivery from Amazon.
Sb was at the time of zero community transmissions. Different story now...
I use LTS in my project, my project is an big enterprise product, sell to big companies and govs/banks, some customer have very strict control on security, e.g. In one of my customers, a big bank, there's a seperate secutiry team, the team scan my the servers with my product monthly, onces the scans found any security issue(generally they are CVEs), the securty team notify product team those security issues my be fixed in 2 days, or network to/from those servers will be blocked. So we got highest level support case. In my case, security fix for java is very important, and it's not a good idea to follow non-lts java releases(there's no overlap in java's minor releases).
Yeah it spreads by breathing in air up to three hours. Read this study. Droplets as well. Washing hands is critical but so is proper mask that is fit.
Not sure what you are saying. Informative content has both intrinsic (randomness deficiency, entropy, kolmogorov sufficient statistic) and relational properties (also randomness deficiency, mutual information, algorithmic mutual information) that can be objectively and quantitatively measured.
It's still not a profitable company with alot of debt to payoff and a valuation to justify. I don't know if we can consider 17 years without any profitable sustainability a success.
This is the opposite of true in that US patent law forbids even personal use but most European jurisdictions permit it.
"received a negative remarry"

This. There is insufficient details for the level of outrage people are displaying.
They charge a flat delivery fee, tip and an 11% "service fee". Not surprised they also have deceptive pricing.

I used the app once because I had a free delivery (that's the 1.99 waived), ending up costing a lot more than just picking it up myself.
Jeff Bezos has clearly stated that his long term goal is also making humanity a multi-planetary species. Creating and making Amazon was just a step to bring forth this vision. We are lucky to have people thinking long term like this, and also taking practical steps to make it a reality.
I look forward to reading your less-one-sided philosophical analysis, then. Is it already online?

I think it's easy for someone to come to the conclusion that something is "one-sided and dogmatic" when its conclusions contradict preconceived notions they hold and aren't willing or able to question. Occasionally, though, there is good-faith, well-reasoned disagreement even to well-thought-out philosophical exploration. Your case might be one of those exceptions; if so, I'd like to learn from your thinking. Given that you're leading off with an ad hominem attack on Stallman, though, in the unrebuttable form of a vague insinuation, I'm not that optimistic.

Can someone clarify this for me? I thought that businesses generally were not able to book gift card revenue until after the gift card was redeemed. If that is the case, then I don't see how this really helps them. It's not like they can use that money to pay bills.
On the other hand, restaurants are operating on economies of scale (and they get wholesale prices for their raw materials -- their groceries are much cheaper per-portion than yours). Don't get me wrong, cooking at home can be cheaper than eating out -- but only if you're cooking large batches of food or are buying ingredients that can be used for more than one meal.

You'd be surprised how cheap individual portions of food are for restaurants.
Landlords do not need to invest in the S&P 500 right now; keeping the stock market going is not more important than people who can't pay rent.

If the landlords are retired, they have Social Security and probably other sources of income. If they can't live on that, then they're living beyond their means and don't need to be landlords.

If landlords can't float a little money to pay utilities, then they're in desperately bad financial shape, and shouldn't be landlords. What are they going to do when one of their tenants doesn't pay rent? Just let the utilities for other tenants get turned off? I'd be OK with simply seizing the properties from landlords that can't manage their properties properly.
It's not $11,000 for a plastic valve. It's $11,000 for a plastic valve and the many thousands of hours of R&D, testing, validation, certification and risk.

seems over-engineered considering you could just use your sleeve (but of course you can't make money off of that idea).

that's what I have been doing for years in any public toilet anyway.
the odd time I don't have long sleeves I just use the end of my shirt. if the handle was too high for that I would just put my fingers through without touching and use my palm so at least the germs would be less likely to end up on my finger tips.

the other problem with this design is that someone could just grab onto it to open the door instead of using the handle, and then you are pretty much back to square one

that's just my 2 cents anyway. I'm no expert on germs
ubuntu LTS's make is a lot leaner:

Still too much.
And just to add to the brainstorm, just googled some ‘dry disinfectant spray’. Now I’m not saying make a full on Iron Man glove, but a pressure activated release of the spray could keep things dry. Plus we’d essentially be distributing the job of cleaning everything to everyone.

Or maybe it’s finally time for self disinfecting door knobs/faucets/lights/buttons.

Yes, it is. Medical devices have to be FDA approved (or the equivalent in other countries) and that costs LOTS of money.

On top of that, you have to account for the potential lawsuit if your 3D-printed knockoff respirator valve fails and someone dies.
I do not, no A/C, just a central gas heater in the living room. We're both in our early 30s and decided that staying with me was less risky than possibly infecting older family members in the other household.
