Right. Quite a lot of SBOs never thought this day would come, that they had no choice but to sign such agreements. Tenant ignored the reality of these unfair and untenable agreements. And here we are.

My response to a landlord insisting on 100% rent for property, that just become non-revenue generating by order of the government, or else they will take my personal property? Force majeure, I owe you $0, this contract is null and void. Shall we re-negotiate?

Liens are going to require court judgements. That system is about to get plugged up with cases. Most SBOs and landlords are going to have to re-negotiate. Landlords will talk deferred rents and suggest SBOs get one of these SBA 3.75% loans, in order to make the landlord 100% whole, eventually. SBOs should seek better advice than that which comes from their landlord. SBOs could do much worse than mimicking the likes of Subway, Mattress Firm, etc. by insisting haircuts are coming, fast. And by much worse, I mean, paying the landlord 100% and making them whole.

Has anyone attempted a per capita calculation by country?
The Diamond Princess’s population is also small, extremely poorly represents the general population, and happened in a setting unrepresentative of the rest of the world. Passenger age is just about the only factor that would drive the mortality and infection rates up, everything else lowers it. As a model the Diamond Princess should probably be treated more as the floor rather than anything representing the average.
Admittedly it's a value call. My thought is generally if it's a small incremental cost that greatly increases the robustness then you should go for it. But - sometimes the money or time just isn't there. I'm bothered more by the people not even wanting to have the discussion than by those who do a summary analysis and decide it's not worth it.
I'm afraid that the need for horizontal scrolling rather spoils it for me. A responsive layout would be a significant improvement in usability in my opinion.
> You won't get 10K out of an SLC cell (ten years ago those would suffer around 3,000 erase cycles, and it has to be much worse now).

10k P/E cycles is the right ballpark for SLC 3D NAND these days, and it's never been anywhere as low as 3k—that's more like what good TLC 3D NAND gets. QLC is in the 500-1000 cycle range.

Please don't misuse the term "fake news." Fake news has a specific meaning: false stories that have no basis in fact but have tantalizing headlines meant to attract attention.

Attempting to change the meaning of the term dilutes its importance and introduces unnecessary confusion.
I remember reading something by, I think, either Asimov or Heinlein talking about how many people think that the utility of science fiction (beyond just transitory entertainment) is to predict what technological changes are coming.

The author disagreed with that, saying that predicting future technological changes is not really important. What is important is predicting the social effects of those changes. That's what a good science fiction writer should be figuring out.

They gave an example that went something like this. Imagine someone writing a science fiction story in say 1890 (although I suppose it might not have been called science fiction yet) set 100 years in the future in the United States.

Predicting that people in 1990 would have horseless carriages instead of horses, and they would be widespread enough for nearly everyone to have one is interesting, but according to author not really insightful.

The useful and insightful prediction would be for the writer to figure out, say, what affect that mobility would have on teen dating. In 1890, most of a teen's social life would involve other teens who lived within easy walking distance plus maybe some farther away that they met at school and either only socialize at school or at activities that are close enough to be in reasonably walking distance for both.

But in the future, when families have more than one horseless carriage and that teen has easy access to one, their social life can involve anyone in town, or in neighboring towns.

Also that 1890 teen that has to walk everywhere might have limited opportunity to get of parental supervision long enough to be alone with their boy/girlfriend. 1990 teens with their much greater mobility can much more easily get away from prying parental eyes and get up to things that would be scandalous in 1890.
Isn't eye tracking going to be core to a great AR experience?
>is there a good tl;dr explanation of how intel lost their lead?

Poor Management, Culture and Denial. Nothing technical really.
( They lost their Only Paranoid Survives Culture )

10nm was initially expected to be in 2016, but since 14nm was delayed it was naturally assumed it would be 2017 instead. But it was delayed again and in 2018 they shipped 10nm CPU with incredibly low yield.

All while their management and CEO promising 10nm were fine.

If you are counting, that is 4 years of delay. Meanwhile, TSMC, the leading edge Foundry for non-Intel node / products ( That is everything from Qualcomm, Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom etc... ) has been keeping their head down and grinding. And so they went from roughly 1 node behind ( ~2 years ) to 1 node advance ( ~2 years ).

One thing to point out is while they might have lost their technical lead, their most recent financial results is still recording breaking.
One thing to remember is that everyone thinks they're "middle class".

Even the corporate VP making half a million dollars thinks she's middle class.
The best tracker is the one that fits your lifestyle.

If you don't mind charging devices, Oura ring is my top choice as it's the most accurate wearable. Fitbit does a decent job if you're on a budget, but the data is less accurate.

My personal favorite is set and forget, under the mattress - Withings Sleep.

The hard part is making sense of the data and determining what to do to try and improve your sleep - getting a tracker won't simply improve your sleep.

To fix this issue I build SleepWell.ai, that takes sleep tracker data and makes custom recommendations based on what sleep science has shown will improve sleep.

PS and HPS did indeed implement the dynamic compilation technologies created by L Peter Deutsch and Allen Shiffman at Xerox Parc. Self 1 and 2 were even fancier JITs by Craig Chambers, but Self 3 (and 4) by Urs Hölzle implemented adaptive compilation which uses an initial simple compiler for all called code and then a second fancy compiler for the hot spots. The execution of the code from the first compiler not only measured execution to find the hot spots but also accumulated type information to make the second compiler simpler (compared to the type inference in the Self 2 compiler).

I gave a talk about this a few months ago: "Adaptive Compilation" -

The requirements seem a bit thin. They also echo the cliche that the main end-user problem with Linux is installation. I think this hasn't been the case for many years - in the simplest case (no dual boot, a well-supported machine), installation and initial setup is usually dead simple.

The real problem is usually troubleshooting post-install problems. There are a myriad of sources of advice, often mutually contradictory, constantly changing, and frequently with a weird underlying air of hostility towards questioners.

I'm not an expert but by no means a complete novice, and I frequently have issues I just can't fix (eg. right now I haven't been able to discover why my laptop just won't stay asleep).

As far as just getting up & running is concerned, I've had no problems with either Fedora or Ubuntu.

Time Management Tips of Insanely Busy People
Yes, seriously. You're willing to sacrifice a million people to keep your house of cards economy going instead of fixing the root cause. To add insult to injury you want to shrink the state, thus collective resources, even more and calling every citizen of the US welfare queens? What the hell?

This is some fundamentalist "the cause justify the means" bullshit. An economy that requires 1 million in human sacrifice during a crisis is nothing to keep around. Not to mention the already ~60k/year that dies due to lack of healthcare access because people like you want to keep the welfare state to this non-functioning minimum.
Sloth, admittedly. I could probably look up how to do it, but the guys explicitly announced they were going to put the game on Steam and add a proper graphical overlay so that they could start charging for the game (IIRC they announced this decision because a family member has medical bills they need to pay, or something).

So, I'm just waiting for them to fulfill their end of the bargain. Then I will pay.

You can always spot the clickbait and pseudoscience when talking about vitamins. They always say "vitamins can boost your immune system" which is at best a half truth. If you don't lack vitamins you won't get any boost at all but that doesn't make for a good headline.

While it is for Windows and not DOS, some time ago i wrote a small raytracing benchmark for C and Pascal (coded pretty much the same between the two languages) and the Borland compilers for C++ and Delphi (Object Pascal) had pretty much the same results: http://runtimeterror.com/tools/raybench/

What was probably the case is that there were more C compilers so some of them produced better code than Borland's.

This concept is used heavily in ASL (American sign language).

Simple signs can be grouped to make other concepts.

There are conjugations or tenses -- explicit number and time are their own signs -- and articles and prepositions are usually dispensed with, much like headlines.

Example "teacher" is TEACH PERSON. Plural would be TEACH PEOPLE. Student is LEARN PERSON, etc. There are the equivalent of modifiers indicated by motion, facial expression, etc.

This sounds wordy but in practice the bit rate is about the same as spoken because some signs stand in for multiple things, plus the omissions and modifiers as above are meaning multipliers.
Indeed, I've had a linux box between the router and the local network since the days of dial-up (originally it was the dial-up box, which made and shared the 'net connection). The only reason I've ever had to upgrade the hardware has been because the original setup only had 10MBps NICs.
> I just don't understand why anyone would spend so much time developing so many intricate features when the presentation is so poor.

Why do you think they had time to develop those features in the first place?

I'm itching to know how they are going to come up with graphical representations for all the randomly generated forgotten beasts. A character is abstract, but when you have a drawing, it conveys more meaning. I wouldn't be happy with a dragon picture or similar, while the forgotten beast was a corrosive gaseous entity.

The presentation may be a bit busy at times (if you embark on a forest, for instance), but it is otherwise fine.
This really isn't helpful to the discussion. The US has unemployment benefits, Medicaid, food stamps, and many other programs. And it seems to be pretty premature to declare which country is or isn't going to come out of this with the least amount of damage.

It is a bit of a mystery to me why Congress isn't just providing better funding/financing for all the existing programs. I'm not sure why there should be new types of programs to help individuals. I'm deeply suspicious of efforts to prop up businesses, I'd rather have the focus be on individuals and let businesses figure out the best way forward. For some businesses bankruptcy might be the best solution because the business model has completely changed.
Unfortunately (in my eyes), only a part of the population regularly gets flu shots. A bit better ratio in the endangered part of the population, but it would help, if not so many of the low-risk population would get and transmit the flu. Just a few weeks ago, some schools nearby Munich had to close for a few days due to high flu numbers amongst the pupils.

The whole article seems like almost entirely fluff to me. The real concern they posed, and the question they didn't actually answer for some reason:

Which VPN providers are using replay scripts on their website from services that don't properly exclude passwords, payment information, and PII from the replays?

That's actually worth reporting about. The rest seems like fearmongering.
I disagree with you. I teach physics. Everyone interested in physics should read the Feynman lectures, but they are neither sufficient or necessary to understand physics. They are merely oomph on top of already good understanding.

Let's imagine physics=boxing. No amount of reading boxing books, or watching boxing videos is going to teach you any boxing. To learn boxing you have to throw 10,000 punches. To learn physics, you need to solve 1000s of questions. That is the necessary and sufficient condition for understanding physics.

Same way one learns software engineering after writing 100s/1000s of programs, not by watching videos of smart people coding (though that can help make you better).
There are some “VPN” apps that can stop connections system-wide. I’m not sure about custom block lists, but take a look at the free Lockdown app (it’s FOSS). It does all processing on-device. There’s also a paid app (which for me is an expensive subscription) called Guardian Firewall, which uses its servers to process requests.

Several days back, they put out a video to try to discourage panic buying by reassuring customers they have plenty of everything in their warehouse:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7hCw5Q8qGw

I enjoyed watching the video just because it gives an idea how big one of these company's warehouses is. (Best view starts about 0m55s.) Those are some tall shelves, and there are a lot of rows of them.

They're supplying probably millions of people with food, so it makes sense, but I still found the visual impact interesting.
It is seemingly easy to (roughly) quantify the number of deaths which have occurred as a result of COVID-19, and it is certainly greater than zero. It would seemingly be difficult or impossible to quantify the number of deaths which have occurred as a result of social distancing policies (aka "lockdown"). For that reason alone the certainty of a COVID-19 threat seems greater than the certainty of death by economy.

Graphics is not the main issue here.

There are other issues that are much more important. Like the jobs interface. I don't want to have to run Dwarf Therapist alongside it, when games like Rimworld and ONI manage just fine.
I'm just speaking in a neutral way. As in "if it remains the case that...". Of course, I do think it is the case, and am not doubtful at all. It seems to be incontrovertible. I'm talking about how I expect the population to react based on their perception of the situation.
Dwarf Fortress strikes me as a game that would benefit from a strong engine / UI split, with an API for querying the world state.

Putting aside the awful human toll... I’m looking forward to reading and hearing from demand planners/time series forecasters about how they responded. Both in terms of updating models as well and how they communicated within their companies. One idea to alleviate the future forecasting challenges raise from this would be to add an explanatory variable/flag this time period. Another challenge will be if there are aftershocks and waves of social distancing required which could lead to more panic buying.
in marketing they try hard to make it sound like what you are going to get by renting their device is WiFi not just the ability to turn on WiFi functionality of the CPE. of course everybody wants that but most people don't get that's not something that has to be provided by the ISP. I am not sure if its required, but i have seen often a lower end device (without WiFi accessible) is given for the lifetime of the contract free of charge.

in Germany you have the right to use a compatible device you own yourself. However my ISP Vodafone does not accept lots of modems as compatible and when this regulation started there were basically none you could actually buy. Its not much better now i guess but i distress.

EDIT:
reading your comment again the trick you mentioned probably works because its "yours" when you lease it instead of renting it?
Check out the city-oriented forums around the Net for Texas cities. I just sampled cities as diverse as El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and Austin, and the article doesn't do justice to how fervently Texans appreciate H-E-B, and how much the company shows its appreciation to its customers. Some quick Googling around in past disasters shows this is a love story that stretches back decades. Costco and H-E-B are possibly this generation's Nordstrom's story.
It really comes down to what you can live with. Does the desire to have a new computer really weigh on you? Then just work towards getting it. Does saving the money matter more? Then don't get it. My wife works happily away on her 2011 MBP — not compiling code, but still working happily away. I work fine on my 2014 MBP. SSDs really make it tolerable these days.
Open borders is anti-capitalist because it allows labor to move with the same liberty as capital, so it can help reduce the ability of capitalists to find deals. Without other policies it is atomizing and ineffective, but there is a good moral argument for it in that invisible lines shouldn't hamper freedom of movement for people. Nations are fake.

The socialist left is against free trade and outsourcing. Period. We are internationalist and support trade with countries that will raise their labor conditions to parity. We also support anti-capitalist struggles abroad.
