The spending is almost entirely on the elderly. Cuts that matter mean less for them. They've already got Medicare so there's no "wasteful" insurance company to save on eliminating.
A couple of years should do it. A volunteer would not just be a 'net negative' but would leave a lot of dead people. Why is it so hard to see that the people that operate this stuff are not just button pushers but specialists that have been schooled over years to take care of people?

The ICU staff would not even allow the doctors to mess with their setup because it is critical and it is their responsibility until some either dies or is discharged from the ICU and allowed to move back to a normal ward.

Think 'airline pilot' not 'assembly line worker'.

This is their increase in cash, not what they make. A mature business usually has a cash reserve, and all profit is paid out to the owner.

Example: Let's say you own a bakery. Rent is $3000 per month. You pay someone $3000 in salary, $3000 in utilities, and $3000 a month in ingredients. Your total sales are $24000 a month.

The reserves of the business are $20,000 which you consider to be sufficient. As the reserves are sufficient, you pay out all profits (12,000$ a month) to yourself.

Even though this business is very healthy and profitable, and can easily handle an economic downturn, cash inflow is equal to cash outflow.
The classic programming interview version of this question is to infer from "telephone numbers" that they're all unique and so you just allocate the provided memory as a big bitfield, mark all the numbers you have in your input list, then scan through and read them back in order.

Urban farming only makes sense for high value, easily perishable produce. Fresh herbs, leafy greens, tomatoes, and other salad ingredients can be produced with higher quality when they are harvested and used on the same day, and when the plants don't have to be bred for shipment-and-storage durability. The real benefit is superior flavor and texture for quality-focused, price-insensitive eaters.

Note that this product site touts how much lettuce the system can grow.

More radical claims about how vertical farms will reduce CO2 emissions or feed a growing world population are aspirational to the point of delusion. Vertical farming isn't going to replace the calories that people get from potatoes and beans grown in big plots of dirt outdoors. If you ate potatoes grown in a nearby vertical farm instead of ones grown in Idaho and shipped across the country, you'd actually be increasing your carbon footprint.

It takes only a little energy to move a potato a thousand miles cross-country. It takes a lot of energy to grow a potato under artificial light. Even though renewable energy is ~20x better in life cycle emissions than fossil energy, it takes more than 20x as much energy to grow potatoes under artificial light. From a CO2 life cycle perspective you're better off eating potatoes that had ordinary diesel powered tractors, trains, and trucks involved in their production and delivery than to eat potatoes that were grown in a wind-powered vertical farm next door to you.

I don’t know how I feel about this. In the general case, I feel like price gouging during emergencies is unethical.

But, when there is a non-artificial supply and demand issue, I struggle with the derivative effects of these policies.

My concern is that rather than simply evaluating on the consumers ability to pay (and backwards-looking at prior statements instead of increased go-forward costs), these policies add only one additional criteria: ability to threaten legal issues. Thus, it’s only effect is to prioritize government agencies alongside wealthy clients. And that’s just governments using force to get better treatment. Which also feels unethical.

But maybe there’s a happier and healthier read of the situation.
Its easy. 1kk numbers fit almost whole 1MB. So most of the numbers from the range will be there if we assume normal distribution.

So we need to compress the data first in a way we can still count it. So we take a sinus function and mark multipliers where a number does not fit sinus. So we spare 0,5MB of RAM at least. Then we iterate the range, multiply sinus and output sorted numbers.

Rest of the RAM can be used for example for bitcoin mining

My wife went to this school. I was initially skeptical, but it is probably one of the best things she ever did. She got her degree in teaching, and got hired almost immediately. This is her first year, and she unfortunately had to start halfway through last semester and now has to distance teaching -- but the important thing is that she has a job in the field she wanted to work in. Without WGU and the flexibility it afforded her she would not be where she is right now.

Could not recommend this school enough.

Disclaimer: I do not work for WGU or any of these affiliates. This comes across as a bit like an advertisement. I really do think it's been amazing for her.

The accepted answer seems prone to losing data on dropped packets, no?

A similar (but I think safer) approach might be to read ahead all the packets to determine what values you can begin to send. Then you could request retransmission. This requires the sender to play nice and buffer all the data fore you but that seems more realistic than assuming the router will do so.

That is not an intrinsic trait of your software, just an aspirational thing.
It appeals to me. Even if the cost was higher, building the capability locally seems very valuable. As well, not all costs are monetary. If the pollution is lower (e.g. from eliminating transportation) it may be worth paying the higher price.

Another appeal is knowing exactly what goes into your food.
If you are just checking boxes, WGU is probably the way to go. My understanding is that things go very quickly for people with real world experience.

> As far as the urban agriculture crowd goes, they're concerned about the length of their logistics lines to their tables. Raspberries grown half a mile down the street in winter is better for the environment than flying them in from another hemisphere.

Aside from environmental effects, it’s also just a more secure logistics chain. A person needs water, food, and shelter to survive. Sometimes it feels strange to me that the trend of the past centuries has been to increase the distance between a person and those sources — to introduce more points of failure between you and the things you need in order to survive.

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice: disputing debts is not by itself fraud, even if you end up losing. If you have some "colorable claim" (i.e. some basis in law and fact to think that a court might plausibly rule in your favor), then you are in your rights to test it in court. But don't be surprised if upon losing, you are forced to pay interest and/or other damages accrued due to the delay.
Linux for sure doesn't for the reasons stated here by others.

I would love to see a real RTOS on a RPi though. Something based on sel4 would be very nice to see for instance. You won't get nanosecond precision due to the cache/system effects like people are saying, but microsecond precision should be more than doable.
Imagine thousand and thousand video calls with multiple receivers for each transmitter ... over VPN.

Linux is a GPOS (general purpose operating system) whereas the domain of servo controller programming (as shown in the videos) is falls under (RTOS). Even if there is no RTOS installed and the author is programming on bare metal with interrupt-service-routines (ISR), it is essentially a "Real-time Operating System" or RTOS. The author could also have used FreeRTOS. The primary difference between GPOS such as Linux and RTOS (bare metal roundrobin or using something like FreeRTOS, Micrium, etc) is that GPOS focus on "throughput" and RTOS specializes in "priority". RTOS works by priority-scheduling or roundrobin.

An example would be better. Say there is an external input to the system (a sensor that detects roller coaster position), you want a deterministic scheduling of the task without any concern about the rest of the state of the operating system. Doesn't matter what the OS is doing - when the roller coaster's position is sensed and there is an interrupt generated to call a subroutine (ISR), a RTOS will not block and it will guarantee execution. Meanwhile, Linux will schedule the task hoping it will get executed but there is no guarantee... I am sure you can hack into the kernel space and write a driver but it becomes a much more of a laborious task - it is just better to use the right OS from the get go.

Hope that makes sense.

A professional motion control system such as [1] comes with 2 components. RTOS element which is a proprietary controller and a GPOS component which is used to communicate, monitor, interface with the user (GUI) and do high-level functions. Usually this is a piece of software installed on a Windows OS, with dedicated PCI cards to communicate to the RTOS modules.

> It's important to the public that scarce goods instead by allocated by willingness to stand in line.

It's important to keep in mind that a higher price is unlikely to lead to much additional capacity due to the nature of this shock. Companies have to do business with their customers for many years after this is over. "Sorry, we're overloaded with demand due to this crisis" sounds a lot better than "Pay us ten times as much during the crisis or go f* yourself." Microsoft isn't in business to allocate resources according to a simplistic strategy pulled from an intro econ course, they're in business to make money over a period of many years.

I am not a microbiologist, but I'm not confident that this "three week annual quarantine" even works in an ideal world, much less the imperfect world that we actually live in.

Is it a guarantee that 100.0000000000% of the population will eliminate the virus with their own immune system in three weeks? If one or two people with poor immune systems carry around the virus for one day past the quarantine then we we would very quickly have gotten back to where we started.

It's also implausible to quarantine everyone for the same three week period. Are we just supposed to let anyone with a major health crisis die at home if it happens mid-quarantine? What would we do about the millions of people who require round the clock care in nursing facilities, etc.?

Additionally, I'm willing to bet that if we dedicated 5.8% of worldwide GDP (21 days out of 365) to fighting viruses, the results would be much more successful and less invasive.

>Sweden has stayed consistent with what experts have been saying

Letting up to 499 people gather freely is not what experts will tell you is the way to stop this, so clearly they have not. If anything Sweden is among those that have listened least to medical experts. Norway and Denmark is following the advice much closer, closing borders or not.

You can think of OpenCL kernels (or any imperative sequence of low-level operations) as data flowing through math operations. Normally, we leverage a single set of math circuits to perform all of these operations in sequence, and orchestrate the data flow through a register file. You could imagine removing the register file and instantiating an actual circuit that represents the data flow of the program itself. This creates more opportunity for pipelining, which should be plentiful in a highly data parallel computation. The issue with FPGA is they are clocked lower and are not very dense, so the tradeoff is generally not worth it.

> Programmers often have a "pet" focus that relates to what they enjoy: performance optimizations, writing "clean" code

This seems like preventing new problems from happening. Which is indeed a wrong thing to do if the metric for evaluating employees is "number of problems solved".

If you create a fizzbuzz application with good performance and clean code, you have solved one problem. If you create a fizzbuzz application first, then fix three bugs in it, and then improve the horrible performance, you have solved five problems.
I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice: You'd be surprised. There's often enough give and take, enough ambiguity, in contract law and/or in any given contract such that disputing a debt is not a further wrong (criminal or civil). But you might be on the hook for interest and damages resulting from the delay if you lose.

As stated: "the times varied a lot because my machine is not setup for a clean benchmark"

So this is not a benchmark. Just a fun observation of a trend. A proper benchmark would require to have a dedicated machine with no other softwares running, hyperthreading off and run each of them a 100 times, without fs cache.

I have a way overpriced aerogarden farm and for me it's really just decor along the lines of having an aquarium. It certainly doesn't yield enough of anything to be worth the price. I contemplated something DIY but I didn't think I could get the clean aesthetics. I have a 3d printer now so I could probably make something that looks less like a hack now.
The interest rate is itself a reflection of the broader equity situation. The price of a loan right now is ... very low. It will go up and down, though I agree that it rarely matches expected equity returns.

The thing is, lenders are free to decide on terms, and whether to issue a loan at all. Part of their actuarial calculation must include some rate of default, because otherwise there would now downside to lending anyone anything. We may end up in an unprecedented time thanks to the virus and our policy decisions about it, but that's all part of the risk lenders take, and they (are supposed to) factor that into the rates they offer. I will bad for them, I suppose, if there is mass scale defaulting, but I see no reason to preference them over anybody else who makes the choice to participate in a loan-driven venture.
That's ludicrous. If you were right we wouldn't have a stock market by then. We wouldn't even have an economy after 1 year of lock downs, even if they were on and off. There's a point where we just won't be able to isolate and if the virus stays dangerous we will be forced to just take the risk.

In general, "schema" refers to the design of database elements -- table names, tables' columns and their names and types, function names and prototypes, etc.

In some RDBMSes "schema" also refers to a namespace that qualifies type, table, view, materialized table, and function names -- this qualifier is optional, so you don't always see it, but all obtjects' fully qualified names include the schema name.

This overloading of the word can cause confusion, naturally, but once you understand it it's easy enough to keep it straight.

"Let me show you my schema" -> generic sense of the word.

"Utilities live in the 'util' schema, while the business logic lives in the 'public' schema" -> the second sense of the word given above.
People who are experts in using one class of ventilators (ICU) are already being trained in using a different class of ventilator (anaesthetics), and they're somewhat concerned about this because of the differences in the machines. https://twitter.com/aroradrn/status/1244134454001635329?s=20

Your idea is to take a bunch of people who are not experts in ventilating, who have minimal experience with ICU vents, and give them a training course on ICU and anaesthetic vents and hope that they remember the difference and can work out the different panels, while exhausted, while in full PPE.

This is happening, but it's scary.

Your wider point - can we reskill a huge amount of the existing workforce to do a different job - is a good point, but that's already happening. Lots of people are doing jobs that they were not trained to do and they're doing those jobs with minimal re-training. This may help some patients, and it may cause harm to others.

Most of the pollution from food production comes from actually producing the food. Things like tractors and stuff use a lot of fuel.

Furthermore, putting farms in urban buildings means that some urban businesses or residences will ha e to be moved further out, increasing pollution. In reality, this would move the pollution to the urban areas, and not reduce it.

Lastly, I can’t think of a reason that you’d know more about farming practices if it happens in an urban environment than in a rural environment
