Brings back memories. I wrote a MIXAL assembler/simulator to run on an IBM 11/30 (actually, a clone - the General Automation 18/30), back in the mid 70s. About 7000 lines of 11/30 assembly, all on punched cards. And yes, I used the trick of running a marker across the stack of cards, diagonally, so it was really obvious when something was out of place. Don't remember if I put sequence numbers in columns 73-80, though the computer lab did have an ancient card sorting machine I used a few times.

I was really lucky back then - I was a high school sophomore who was given free rein of the local college's small computer lab. I got really good at keying in the IPL (initial program load) sequence on the front-panel keys, triggering a read of the IPL card from the card reader, which then would boot off the Winchester drive.

I got to show my daughter an IBM 029 card punch at the Seattle Living Computers Museum a few years ago. Don't think she was too impressed :-)
Well done. Thanks for sharing your efforts!
There's no known dietary replacement for some essential nutrients that come from eating fish. Even fish oil pills aren't as effective.
In caveman times you were _far_ more likely to be killed via violent encounter, starve to death, or die from minor accidents or infections, etc. The average life expectancy was about 20 years, and a painful death was highly likely. And while you can't cooperate for a mate, there is no shortage of mate's to go around and likely millions of suitable matches for any particular person today. So however far from utopia we might be now, we are certainly _far_ closer than caveman times.

Semi-rhetorical question: why do customers accept something like this delivered in SaaS form? It seems so antithetical to customer obsession when this is the exact type of problem that lends itself well to a locally running application.

Why not deliver this as a desktop application that users download and pay for one-time? There’s absolutely no need for an ongoing subscription to a backend service here. Outside of rent-seeking.

American eggs have a relatively short shelflife. In order to make it look more marketable they wash and bleach the protective coating. A natural egg should be brown but in America they are all white. If you buy your eggs from a farm you're fine to leave it in the pantry. If you buy it from an American supermarket you'll need to keep it in the fridge.

> Economists use the word "capital" without making reference to Marx. Marx didn't come up with that word, it had a meaning in classical economics since Adam Smith (and maybe before).

How does this refute OP's point? They're really just pointing out how absurd it is that a study on wealth inequality and class fails to even consider the Marxist perspective. Genuine scholarly negligence.

> This is also bizarre. Piketty does have a theory about "why inequality is so rampant in the first place". He just thinks we can change the laws and fix it!

OP isn't arguing that Piketty has no theory -- just that it's a pretty naive one. A Marxist perspective understands that "changing the laws to fix it" is not enough. The state is dependent on the bourgeoisie for its survival (see [0]), and will thus bend to their demands. So long as we have no organized and militant labor movements (and labor parties to represent them), the working class will have neither leverage over the state nor the means to enact their demands.

> Craig Boyan: We’ve been working very hard right now to deliver meat and poultry and eggs to our stores. We’re accelerating opening a new warehouse in Houston that was due a few months later. We’re taking some of our warehouses in the state and transitioning them over to serving just meat, because we’re seeing such significant demand for meat, poultry, and eggs. We’re still having a real hard time sourcing eggs. We had big loads in the last few days, and they’ve been scooped up as soon as they hit the shelves, so we’re working very hard with egg suppliers to see where we can get additional eggs. But our meat plant is running 24/7—we have our own meat plants here. They normally don’t go 24/7, but we’ve focused them down to serving the top fifty items out of our meat plants; they normally carry several hundreds. [Focusing on top items] means fewer changeover delays, and it allows us to ship significantly more meat. We’re seeing those kinds of moves across the board as we look to ramp up volume in a rapid way.

One interesting thing about disasters and wars is the ways in which they point out (if only by subtraction) how the world spends its capabilities and resources during peacetime. In this case, what HEB is pointing out is 'the cost of variety': by offering hundreds of slightly different meat products, HEB is able to manufacture a lot less total than it would if it focused on a few products and could scale them & get economies of scale / experience curves (http://www.overcomingbias.com/2014/02/what-cost-variety.html). Similarly, one can see this with any retailer like Aldi or Apple which makes a point of having as few distinct units as possible.

This massive societal loss is particularly disconcerting when you note how rarely the different varieties ever actually differ in a noticeable way (I've done this with many food staples), and in some cases are literally the same product in different labeling (for price discrimination); they don't exist because of any actual need for such specialization, but because they can and they are useful for rich First Worlders to help signal & consume an identity. But when the rubber hits the road, no one really needs those hundreds of varieties of slightly different meat products, and 50 works fine.

I was looking for somebody to point me in the right direction about learning up on one-to-many broadcasting the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22686128

And got no response :(

Maybe somebody in the comments section here knows more?

My original submission read:

I found https://github.com/muaz-khan/WebRTC-Experiment to be a decent starting point, but I am craving more reading on the subject.

Chaturbate uses chunked mp2t files, youtube does similar with mp4, where can I learn more about how exactly they do what they do?
I'm going to add another comment here:

I realized that my kids are used to having our (me and my wife's) full attention when they're home. Whenever we do chores on the weekend, one of us usually plays with the kids while the other does the chore; or we do mundane chores while the kids play around us.

Otherwise, our kids are in daycare full time during the week. We often drop them off late or pick them up early. Even if we do a staycation, we still drop them off for a few hours a day so they can see their friends.

My point is that now that our kids are adjusting to being home, we're training them that they need to give us our space. This morning my 4-year-old daughter was in my office, and I just directly told her that I need to work and she has to play quietly by herself. She accepted that.

You have to think about confounding factors when considering only one event. The effects of the 1918 flu are completely overshadowed by the end of WWI. Thus you can't really draw many conclusions.
> learn some technique,

Exactly. Feynman lectures tell you what the laws are, and why they make intuitive sense. They don't tell you how to apply the laws to a wide variety of scenarios, even those not discussed in the book. Physics textbooks like Haliday & Resnick do exactly this; briefly state the law and then teach you how to apply the law.

But merely reading those textbooks won't help you either. You still have to turn to the exercises and solve a bunch of questions correctly to actually learn.

That seems like a little bit of a cherry picked article to support your point. Scrolling through the front page of that website the top article is an opinion piece by Joe Biden which writes about the importance of supporting young people and those out of work:

"So we need to make sure that our economic recovery does not come at the expense of those who can least afford it or who are just getting started in life: Hard-working young people in service industries and retail that are being decimated by layoffs; all those who are hustling to make a living in the gig economy, and those who were already struggling to get by before this crisis, who are drowning in credit card debt or student loans, and who now are in even greater need of a lifeline."

When I scroll further down the page I can see a fundraiser for readers to support "people and communities who are more vulnerable and need extra support during this time" including the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Restaurant Workers Community Foundation, and One Fair Wage. Apparently readers and podcast listeners have contributed about $650 000 which at least from an Australian perspective seems non-trivial.

Finally, one of their most recent articles (I'm going through the articles because I'm not going to listen to the podcasts) on the politics of a pandemic titled "How Democrats Should Navigate Pandemic Politics" talks about the importance of directly supporting workers including with "paid-leave provision that’s much bigger than the one the White House watered down in the initial House bill, along with a broad Emergency Unemployment Insurance provision".

I can't reconcile all this stuff with being blind to it. It looks like the founders of this site were in the white house while the medicaid expansion was passed which, at least from an outside perspective, seems to be the most important legislation of the past few decades for the poorer working class.

Even that article you linked to doesn't seem like a damning indictment. If you read it a bit more closely it's at least partially a joke article where the writer talks about the resilience of the human spirit while writing on the walls in lipstick, getting gum in her hair, and napping in the middle of sentences. If it was a manifesto of values I'd agree with you that a lack of focus on unemployed people undergoing hardship would be notable, but it's not. It's just a joke.
I'm sorry. You are correct. Although Ferguson attributes most of the benefit to the lockdown, he does acknowledge a change of R0 further revising the numbers down.

Where I got confused was attributing some of the things said by Gupta (behind the Oxford model) to Ferguson (behind the Imperial College model).
No doubt your numbers are accurate.
Not so fast...

If the mortality rate really is much lower than generally presumed at the moment, with no antibody tests to actually verify, then it is absolutely possible that this has been creeping up on us for a month or two earlier in the UK and Italy than currently presumed.

Esp. if you consider that 1) most of the fatal or critical cases are elderly and/or with comorbidities and 2) the symptoms are easily confused with other diseases.

It may well be that if we re-examined old case files and could test retroactively we would find a bunch of cases that were misattributed to other causes.

It's impossible to know for sure without antibody tests.
Great project. Looked around the repo to understand how the FFI works without annotations. Maybe there is a section I missed. I'm curious how you translate between ArkScript types and C++ types? And what is the error-handling like when the programmer gets it wrong?

Also, if you create objects by making all variables within a function scope accessible outside the function, do you have a means for private local variables that don't get exported?

> He just thinks we can change the laws and fix it!

Not the OP and I must confess that I haven't read anything by Piketty just yet but imho if these are indeed his views then OP seems certainly to be right in saying Picketty only wants that "capitalism should just change some specific things to reduce inequality".

That's also not want Marx really believed in, i.e. he certainly did not believe that we'll all be better off under a different, better form of capitalism. That's what guys like Lassalle [1] believed and what modern European social-democracy really believed too, starting with the 1930s (see the Popular Front in France [2]) up until the 1980s - 1990s (when all modern European social-democracy went into clinical death). Imho the only true heir of Marx that really got to put its hands on the reins of power was Lenin, and it would have been interesting to see how Trotsky would have extended the world revolution outside USSR's borders had be managed to outplay Stalin.

It looks like they are fingerprinting the device. Which means that if you have facebook but don't install the phone app, that your phone can be connected with your account and then you can be tracked across the web. There are also, of course, the facebook shadow accounts. Information connected with fingerprints, but not associated with a facebook account.
I don’t think the US as a whole, NY seems to have its finger out. Testing really well too.

Correct. Of course you could have the gift card expire after a year, letting you remove those liabilities from your balance sheet eventually.

Otherwise you could antipate that say 1% of your customers will use a gift card on any particular day, and hopefully you have that spaced out far enough that you can survive paying your liabilities over time.

For the record, Spanish flu was not named so because anyone believed it came from Spain, but because, in the midst of WWI, Spain was neutral and the only heavily-affected country that allowed reporting on the severity of the flu.

One hypothesis of its origin was the UK or USA. Maybe you should instead be calling it British flu or American flu.

Generating a Color Scheme as a Developer
Insurance companies have incentives to get better data than their competitors, so they can offer less expensive coverage to lower risk people and leave the competing insurance companies with all the higher risk people. Until the competitors do the same thing. Then you're all just offering less expensive coverage to most of your customers and making less money. (That also tends to cause trouble for higher risk patients because insurance companies could more accurately predict ahead of time that they'll incur high costs and then charge them unaffordable premiums.)

If the health data they would otherwise use for that is "private" then that isn't allowed, so providing insurance is riskier, will have fewer competitors, and commands higher premiums.
