> There can't be in person spectators

Olympic games are 20% for sport and 80% for the money brought by spectators/tourists. The host country spends billions in local infrastructures (stadiums, hotels, roads, &c.) it would make no sense to have the competitions without in person spectators.
> I guess I don't see it that way. Probably the hairiest things in the kernel that maybe shouldn't be there are boot-time network filesystems, but I think that's kinda the price you pay for that sort of convenience.

TV in a bar is already an annoyance unless “the big game” is on. Interrupting an annoyance with an intrusion (“hey if you don’t buy these wings you’re practically losing money!”) just won’t engender good will.

I’m not implying this won’t work at all. But not in bars where it wouldn’t already be acceptable to have screens for gambling, OTB or whatever. Unless I am wrong, but I consider myself something of a bar aficionado.
> Does that mean Zoom does in fact perform the necessary legwork on the accessibility front?

Pretty much. They're not perfect, but they have put a ton of effort into it. It may be because they do business with governments, so require things like Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs)[1]. But it is the only platform I can actively consider using for work, as someone who relies on a screen reader.

Amazon Web Services - EKS | Seattle | Full time, onsite (but virtual for now due to COVID-19) | https://aws.amazon.com/eks/

We’re a relatively new team of AWS engineers that are building a core set of services to help our customers to run and use Kubernetes and etcd at scale on AWS. CNCF in 2017 found that 60%+ of Kubernetes workloads run on AWS. Given the massive scale and customer demand on Amazon EKS, it is is our goal to contribute upstream to strengthen the design, scale, security and stability of the Kubernetes and etcd projects and ultimately Amazon EKS.

Some things you’ll do here
· Collaborate with the community to integrate AWS services with Kubernetes and etcd
· Maintain upstream projects related to Amazon EKS, Kubernetes, and Etcd
· Work with some of the largest etcd users, such as Kubernetes project, to drive etcd to the next level of scale
· Recommend architectural improvements to Kubernetes and Etcd
· Expand upstream test coverage for Kubernetes on AWS and EKS
· Work on large scale problems both on the control plane and data plane
· Incubate revolutionary ideas that benefit Kubernetes and Amazon EKS
· Troubleshoot and fixing bugs reported by customers
· Mentor junior engineers on design and coding best practices
· Represent AWS technical chops in conferences

Some things we like about you
· You've experience working with (or – top of the pile! – on) AWS services
· You've been writing software since you could tie your shoes or 3+ years
· You're experienced with strongly-typed languages and know what a pointer is
· You're familiar with distributed system design and don’t recoil or hiss at either
The last statement is factually wrong. Borg was launched 2005, 5 years behind would be 20 years.
Unfortunately governments no longer ascribe to free market capitalism but rather facilitate the corporate-crony welfare state. Efficiency is irrelevant when you've got buddies to line the pockets of.

I’m a died-in-the-wool liberal, and I think he’s right about that.

We aren’t rationally weighing costs and benefits right now. We really should be talking more about what we’re doing to the economy, and if there are better ways to move forward.
Judged by its obstructionist actions, you would think the FDA wants more Americans to be infected – by forcing them to leavethe home, to visit health facilities highly-trafficked with many other suspected-infected.

Or just to remain infected & not know.

That said, any physician who sees a patient taking 4g of acetaminophen a day chronically is going to tell them to reduce their dosage, switch to another drug, or stop.

> Garlic and beet root are not used medically for any disease at all

Garlic is literally one of the most widely used medical treatments in the entire world. It's used medically by 0.8% of all US adults, according to the NIH.

Not looking for a job, but Notion's Full Stack Engineer job description (https://www.notion.so/Full-Stack-Engineer-Notion-60ba853553e...) has always struck me as, what I envision as, an ideal full stack product "person" (whatever that means). I'm genuinely curious what people think, how does one build up the skills to fill that type of role?
hmm Black box models - refers to NeuralNets that build iteratively "unsupervised" .. confusion reading this because, tree-based models sounds similar to other, non-NN models such as RandomForest.. a RandomForest model is reproducible and may be very explainable, depending on the way the setup was done "and other factors"

AI = long history of multiple meanings of this term, but a common one is "get computers to solve a question that used to be only solveable by a human".. not at all specific to vision 'slash' natural language processing
Unprivileged processes can load bpf filters though - they can attach filters to sockets or load seccomp syscall filters, to name two examples. Just because it is a sandbox doesn’t mean that loading and executing user-supplied code in kernel mode is free from risk! I’m sure the Microsoft engineers thought their code was bulletproof too right until the exploits started showing up.

Heck, the entire io_uring system is a prime example of the Linux kernel “eating more of user space” - it’s essentially a programmable syscall pipeline that executes entirely in kernel mode. All to reduce some user/kernel transitions - exactly why ATMFD and http.sys were invented in the Windows kernel.

This is a great team to consider at Twitter. But if this isn't quite what you're looking for, I'd just like to add that many teams at Twitter are specifically looking to hire people outside of San Francisco (either at other offices or working from home... but note that we don't yet have the ability to directly employ people in every country). Protip: even if a job listing mentions a location different from where you live, apply anyway and mention where you'd want to work from. We are currently actively hiring for many teams (see https://careers.twitter.com). For now, all interviews are virtual, including virtual office tours if you would intend to eventually work in one of our offices once they reopen after COVID-19 is under control. (Modulo the undeniable stress of current world events, which we all try to support each other through), the transition to 100% remote work has gone remarkably well.
SNI information is really, really limited though. Besides physical location tracking has been possible since the existence of phones. That's nothing new.

Thankfully Trump didn't say to take it. He said doctors can prescribe it. Doctors know what dosage is safe (and there is a safe dosage, since quinines are sold at the grocery store all the time), and what contraindications there may be for certain dosages. Your aquarium cleaner box does not.

I rolled https://video.etherpad.org out within 5 minutes. It's a single command once Etherpad is installed (npm install ep_webrtc).

There is one complication most people don't realize -- Failed Reverse NAT traversal: For this you need a TURN server (I'm intentionally ignoring STUN for obvious reasons).

TURN servers have to route the actual media (video / audio) from user a <> b <> c but only if the user(s) can't directly connect. We hit Tb's a day through our TURN server and it gets expensive.

But complexity wise, it's an absolute doddle! Give it a go, if you have nodejs installed 90% of your work is done!

About 6 weeks ago I switched from a Thinkpad to a System76 Darter Pro, and it's been pretty solid. I have none of the problems you describe.

It did require Debian testing, because the Intel GPU drivers for the latest Intel CPUs are not in Debian stable yet. But it's a solid machine, and like the new Lemur Pro, it comes with Coreboot preloaded which is excellent.

That whole kernel 5.4 thing with missing critical fixes for the Intel GPUs was a major screwup though, that's true. But they are all in 5.5 I believe, and have also been backported to the 5.4 kernel that's in Debian testing. Since those landed, my machine has been a pleasure to use.
It's not just "I bought a counterfeit item on Amazon".. But instead:

> When times get tough, AA can sell equity for more money, which is a stock buyback but in reverse

so why are they not doing this, but instead asking for low interest loans? (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/airline-ceos-promise-to-elimi...)

The reason is that raising equity dilutes all current shareholders. It's a bigger "loss" to them than a termed interest loan which the tax payer gets minimal reward for taking on the risk.

I say, that any bailout loans _should_ come with an equity dilution component. Tax payers should get compensated, or this moral hazard will just continue into the future.

” Epidemiologists say that influenza is easier to control.”

Not that I have heard of. You’re going to have to cite some evidence here.

Ansible already is pretty portable/flexible on target systems (the joys of being agentless and working mostly over SSH). You tend to need python and sometimes some specific modules (python-apt, for instance) on the target, but that's hardly a burden.

Deterrence.

All manner of WMD would be used absent a credible deterrent. Just ask the residents of Aleppo or Halabja.
Correction: the idiots who ingested a different substance, in an industrial dose used for cleaning are dying. Idiots always find creative ways of offing themselves, and so it's no reason to deny access to the drug for the normal people.
Governments appear to be still working out the details of what to do, but you can look at those countries on the leading edge to see that they do come out of shutdown gradually and have other measures in place that are somewhat effective for COVID-19.

> In our jurisdiction of just over 4 million people, we have 191 positive tests and 5 deaths. The number of new cases is already tiny, so how much lower do they have to go before we can switch to targeted interventions?

Targetted interventions may not be sufficient if you're at the leading each of the wave - the exponentially rising part, or after the inflection point but still rising. In that phase the number of people actually carrying the virus and passing it on is much higher than the number of positive tests, most of them are asymptomatic spreading it (or were before shutdown), and nobody knows who they are. It can be at the start of an exponential growth, even with small numbers, and even if the numbers dropped temporarily.

> so how much lower do they have to go before we can switch to targeted interventions?

It totally depends why they are low, and for how long.
Terraform is just back to "quirky DSL", though
I can't convince anyone to not use Facetime.
I'm guessing their approach (switch the channel when there's an ad) is motivated by the need to keep to the cable TV company's TOS.

If you digitize the cable stream, replace the ads, and display that on your in-house TV, you're probably violating copyright and/or some TOS.

But I guess no TOS says you can't change the channel when ads are showing, so why not have a little robot help you do that?
Are there any other Ansible alternatives that avoid the whole YAML mess?

Pinterest Visual Search / Applied Computer Vision | San Francisco / Palo Alto for internships, REMOTE option for contractors | Applied ML Internships / full stack ML infrastructure engineering contracting roles

The Visual Search team works on all aspects of applied computer vision at Pinterest and is offering summer 2020 internship opportunities, along with contracting roles for industry veterans who are looking for a flexible arrangement. This is a full stack team, ultimately driven to ship user-facing products, like Pinterest Lens and Pinterest AR. We do this by building state of the art computer vision signals, such as fine-grained embeddings, high-throughput detection models, generative adversarial models for image composition, and many others. These models and computer vision features power product experiences on Pinterest for hundreds of millions of users.

Pinterest Visual Search team runs on PyTorch, C++, and lots of Python, among with many other technologies. We encourage publication of all of our work (CVPR, KDD, etc.), and have a highly collaborative and flexible work environment. We’re broadly looking for two intern/eng. contractor categories: generalists and computer vision domain experts. If you’re passionate about product or computer vision infrastructure, such as building label-to-deployed-model toolchains via active learning, reach out to us about a generalist role. If you’ve had experience with interesting CV challenges, or are looking for a highly applied ML work, reach out regarding the CV domain role. You can contact me directly by pinging dkislyuk@pinterest.com with the tag [VISUAL SEARCH HN] in the title. Please highlight a CV project or an interesting product you've worked on to help our team figure out what role to consider you for. Any ML infra or tools that you are interested in are a big plus.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, we are unsure about the remote vs. onsite nature of the role, and currently all roles are interviews and onboarded through a remote process. Under normal circumstances, internships are onsite, while eng. contracting roles have the option to work remotely after an orientation period.

So, where are the masks? There’s an enormous push this week to end the clampdown and return to work. As this article says, masks are critical. Well, where are they? How many? When are we getting them? When will we be at capacity to test sufficiently? Where’s the legislation that defines how we’ll trace contacts while protecting our rights?

Second, this article glosses over the central point, choosing instead to focus on how deaths are focused in the elderly: 40% of hospitalizations are people below 50. At scale that’s an enormous strain on the healthcare system. Will it withstand?

Temperature checks are better than nothing, but what about the long incubation period, and asymptomatic cases?

Yes, this clampdown is wrecking the economy. But this was the path chosen when western leaders decided that a short term economic slowdown was to be avoided at all costs. Not every decision is reversible. Severe cognitive dissonance is at play right now, and people are struggling to comprehend that we’re really here.

Mitigation is possible — but just how far are we from realistically implementing all the necessary protocols and acquiring the needed goods?
Pulumi is the only imperative one I know about, but I can't really opine on any of them.

Except...

When we find a new problem, we solve it the way we always solve things. And we like to solve things with tons of impenetrable abstraction. We hardly care about legibility of stack traces let alone ease of tracing through the code.

I'm sure 24-year-old me would disagree with this, but I think there's a qualitative difference between an arcane abstraction for getting text onto a scroll area on a screen and arcane abstraction that lets me accidentally undeploy all of my servers (24 year old me would be equally frustrated by both).

BDD test frameworks mostly look like imperative code, and after the initial shock of learning that some things are declared/registered immediately and executed only after everything else has gotten a chance to register, it's not that difficult to figure out how things work (until you have to step into the internals, and some test frameworks are okay, while others are a disaster).

I kinda think infrastructure as code should just be code. Give me something that looks like a test framework but with better adherence to Least Surprise.

Yes. One of the reasons could be that US for a while practically didn't have tests, after deciding to not use what the rest of the world already had:

https://www.businessinsider.com/early-coronavirus-cdc-tests-...

but also the US president tweeting just two weeks ago, March 9:

"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!"

and day later said:

"And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away."
