Things like Meetup actually probably have a lot of underlying feature evolution which might be expensive. Also, it might require a lot of manual labour marketing reach-out and hand-holding. Especially when the revenue model is not crystal clear.

Meetup may, therefore, have more strategic value than cash-flow value to a lot of companies.

I can definitely see how a 'big cash-flush WeWork' would want to glob onto Meetup.

But a cash-strapped meetup?

And now, if there's no 'big hit upside' and no big win future, they probably don't have a lot of momentum, and not a lot of hot devs who really care a lot.

It becomes in a way a lifestyle company for someone else's lifestyle vision. Which requires the right kind of team and mindset, comfortable with that situation.

How can "RAID for supply chains" not just lead to being competed out of business by competitors without that added complexity in the short term?

It seems like the only industries it work in would have to essentially be oligopoly class or otherwise noncompetitive to begin with.

I have 2 years worth of recordings and with that, many examples of police ineptness, abuse.... the lot and nobody takes me seriously.

EVen played audio of her dealing, threateneing...and short version, they did nothing. Also many corrupt police, shocking but you do find out the hard way and so many inept police, shocking again, well less so in todays over-woke climate and sadly nothing constructive happens.

However this whole coronavirus, well, sad when that is doing more than I could to highlight the issues and more so, makes it harder for them to get the drugs, so I'm taking solice and great comfort in their suffering currently, sad I know but if you know all I've had to endure, it's enabled me to cope more in talking about this and trying again.

Heck, even dug out police home and private numbers and lets just say, they are useless, but hey, I feel better for it. Share the stress :).

The market solution is to just let private cargo companies rent the government's cargo capacity. Even better would be to auction the capacity off to get the best price.

Of course while the left hand is doing that, the right hand can be ordering vast amounts of medical supplies at market rates for delivery as needed.

This has been my mode of operation for the last couple of years, untill the virus started impacting Australia. Now restrictions etc are changing so quickly that you pretty much need to keep up to date. Got to say it's not doing my mental health any favours.

One thing that has suprised me is the lack of any non-virus news that is around. The virus and it's fallout can't be the only thing happening in the world at the moment! The only non-virus related news I've seen over the last couple of weeks is a couple of local court cases and North Korea firing something into the ocean. Oh and we had a local government election here in Queensland which got about an inch of coverage.

This tells me that most of the normal news we get fed is pretty much non-essential filler.

India racked by greatest exodus since partition due to coronavirus
Intel's fabs have stagnated so AMD now has access to fabs as good or better as Intels. In addition, AMD has been iterating on a new micro-architecture for the last few years that is actually competitive with Intel's. From 2011-2015 AMD's Bulldozer based micro-architectures were not competitive, and coupled with being way behind on process nodes was a completely uncompetitive high-end product line.

As Amazon or any of these other companies aren’t organisations devoted to the study of epidemiology or medical expertise, the only thing they can possibly do is follow the guidelines/regulations imposed on them. I’m not sure what that has to do with compensation though.

I am very sure that they didn't hire a man like Jim Keller "just" to do engineering work. In Intel, he is more of a project manager with extraordinary authority, and I believe that was the case for him for the last 10 or so year.

He shipped countless triple A hit products, probably more than any other man in the industry. That experience is his real value.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the average institution or entity that Bill Gates chooses to fund is much more productive than the average NIH funded lab.

I think the answer lies in taking a good look at where the money is going. Particularly, I think I think we need to give more to the very productive people and institutions. I know it's the million dollar question, by what is Salk doing that others are not? Or CSHL which has something like 8 nobel laureates there.

One last observation is that a career in science just doesn't make sense anymore. Why slave away making $40 or $50k as a postdoc or an instructor after years of studious study when you can pull 6 figures in tech right out of school? This right here is one of the things that tells the bright ones to stay away from academia.

> As scientists, the base of our work is to read papers and search for bibliography.

A huge part is distinguishing good articles from bad articles. Do you think all peer review articles are correct? In which field do you work?

Let's analyze the first article you linked. It's the previous article about this topic of Raoult, not an independent research. Did you notice that he control group is not randomized, and most of it was in others hospitals, so it's not clear that they have the same treatment and same prognosis.

Also they are not counting the 6 patients that they lost in the treatment group (1 just leave, 1 had too much nausea, 3 where transfer to ICU, 1 died).

It is more strange that they didn't lost any patient in the control group. (Someone gave an answer to this in a previous thread. Can you spot it in the paper? Do you think after this that calling the other bunch of people a "control group" is accurate?)

The economic theory is extensive on this. You have to let the price float if you want the market to find the optimal way to increase capacity.

If you insist on the price remaining steady even when the market conditions have changed radically you are choosing shortages in order to satisfy your belief that the price shouldn't change.

Browser-side PDF processing with Go and WebAssembly
You still can't beat intel at the high end. Both in terms of heat and performance. If you have a task that doesn't parallelize well, you can't beat intel.

Games are traditionally single threaded and hard to parallelize.

However: you don't need to be the best, you just need to be at the "agreed upon" high end for game requirements, which is the xbox and ps4 (soon to be next gen).

And so, if you're trying to build a "generation proof" gaming PC in a standard sized case, the 3800X is currently your best bet for a new build (or waiting for zen3). If you're trying to do SFF, Intel may be a better choice.

Regardless: AMD's competition has dropped the prices in the "enthusiast" segment. My next build will be AMD, simply because I don't need the best of the best, but rather, good enough.
I've never seen, "Full Metal Jacket" so I could not say.

To be very specific, I am talking only about combatants. I am not generally talking about the kind people that get interviewed for documentaries or whonwrite their own books. Leadership often has the luxury of cool detachment.

I think I did speak to generally in my OP and then bit down on the argument. I was answering the question of why some batteries continued to fire until amrasitice. It wasn't my intention to indicate this was primarily due to hate.

The truest answer is that they were ordered to. People follow those orders for a collection of reasons. The general obedience developed by being part of war machine is probably paramount.

I should reorder my points. Primarily that war machines like modern militaries and the conflicts they participate in create their own rationale. And you should never be surprised to find irrational violence in war because that rationale is not of your peacetime world.

Beyond those that are simply following orders there area many whom the propaganda and trauma of war has made enthusiastic about inflicting every last bit of punishment possible upon the enemy. You are correct that we cannot number these and it probably changes depending on the violence and desperation of the conflict. But I think they are more than we like to admit. And this is a further cause of seemingly irrational violence and particularly atrocities.

> A long-standing difficulty for connectionism has been to implement compositionality, the idea of building a knowledge representation out of components such that the meaning arises from the meanings of the individual components and how they are combined. Here we show how a neural-learning algorithm, knowledge-based cascade-correlation (KBCC), creates a compositional representation of the prime-number concept and uses this representation to decide whether its input n is a prime number or not. KBCC conformed to a basic prime-number testing algorithm by recruiting source networks representing division by prime numbers in order from smallest to largest prime divisor up to √n. KBCC learned how to test prime numbers faster and generalized better to untrained numbers than did similar knowledge-free neural learners. The results demonstrate that neural networks can learn to perform in a compositional manner and underscore the importance of basing learning on existing knowledge.

But again, I think things such as prime number tests are the exact kind of edge cases where one needs too many heuristics built into the model for it to be practical to use.

But I think something like a prime test is not included under the definition I gave anyway, because the idea of "prime" actually implies a lot of context.

You can take a baby and he will be able to classify images, you can take a human that speaks a language with no concept of numbers and he will be able to play or sing music and distinguish patterns in it.

You can't talk about "prime" without a mathematical apparatus that takes years for humans to understand. However, since we learn it as such an early age, it ends up in the background.

Granted, that could be said about almost any cognitive ability (the fact that there's a lot of "subconscious context" required to use it).... so I don't know.
The definition provided by Google is probably the the most reasonable option to use, though I can see how pandemic is shifting the colloquial use.

I was at a conference AWS put on at the Javits center where they were hyped about a product called Zocallo. The audience was conspicuously indifferent.

I think AWS was hoping for a c-suite audience but the people who came were technical people who like AWS the way it is. Many of the tech track sessions were full, so I went to the more business oriented sessions, which were pretty good.

I guess in theory AWS could sell the kind of services that Salesforce does, but they haven't connected.

WireGuard is great, but I think it's really undersold when it's described as being just a vpn. It's really an encrypted tunnel that is configured like a network adapter in the Linux network stack.

This lets you configure it with stuff like systemd-networkd and unit files, or easily spin up a tunnel with a few `ip` commands, and setup some simple nftables rules to do all sorts of stuff.

I do use it as a vpn as well, but it's so much easier to setup than, say, OpenVPN, where you need to create tun/br interfaces and then tie them together with a service, etc. That said, OpenVPN and other actual VPN software does more than just a tunnel (like pushing routes, config settings, etc), so WireGuard cannot replace everything by itself.

The documentation is rather sparse, but there isn't much to it either. The manpages have what you need to know and the rest is just general Linux network stack knowledge.
