You see these kinds of problems in things like the Elm community, where any critical tone is interpreted as a real attack against people. Predictably, the real problems just don't get addressed because the owner(s) are simply incapable of handling conflict or disagreement, and tend to shut it down rather than really respond to it.

It's sad, in its own way, since I can see why a community would go this way: the relentlessness of criticism can wear you down, so why not avoid it all? In reality, you just pay a different price: those who are right but disagree in a fairly critical way will leave. They're often a great asset. There's a difference, and a fairly big one, between being negative and being mean, but people often conflate them as one and the same.
This looks pretty clean! The enhanced readability reminds me of Wikiwand.

If you're looking for a bit of feedback, the search doesn't seem to handle fast typing well. I tried searching for "Frank Chu" and it seems that if I type it really fast, I get either no results or Franks that aren't Frank Chu. If I type slower, Frank Chu shows up.
Also try composting if you can, it has reduced waste going into the bin by about 50%, and that compost can be used to grow more food in a few months time. Most of that compost is the parts of fruit/veg not eaten, such s carrot peel or broccoli stalks.

Bandwidth is not only a bottleneck but also a resource that most company has to pay for.

Also to ensure better streaming quality and availability, the media files have to move to server closer to the client region, depending on trending demands and timezone usage to avoid bottleneck at the delivery stage. Storage is also not a free resource (or server renting space)

A lot of small businesses will no longer exist after this is over. That is one reason. But it seems unlikely we'll be able to exit this without deep structural damage that takes a significant amount of time to repair; there are negative feedback mechanisms that are difficult to overcome even with well-targeted stimulus. The most basic is that unemployment reduces consumer demand which reduces employment demand. It doesn't just go away some sunny day in June either, the slack demand directly due to the virus is likely to be with us for many, many more months to come.

>Netherlands tests masks against the wrong specification and blamed on China.

>KN95 marks that are bought by the Dutch government are not resistant to oily particles (the N stands for Not resistant to oil)[0]; while the European FFP2 standard specifies the mask has to be able to block oil particles

Both of these statements are contradicted by the scmp article you've linked:

>The problem with the Chinese masks was first discovered by hospitals that received them, with health workers finding the masks did not fit properly [...] Dutch broadcaster NOS cited a source saying that the Chinese face masks were “not FFP2 quality nor of the lesser safety level of FFP1 – some sort of FFP0.8 at best”, meaning they had less than half the filter efficiency required for the FFP2 designation.

I think this is an insufficient argument. There are lots of examples where standardization works and is effective, eg HTML, HTTP, SSL, FTP, CSS ...

The argument you posed is against standardization in general, but if the conclusion is “all standardization/regulation is bad” that holds no empirical water. You have to make the case that this specific standardization is bad, since standardization as a concept is not in question.

Once again, your description of the conversation is quite inconsistent with the words written on the page, but I think there's not much hope in making any progress.

I'll share a piece of advice that a good friend of mine told me a few years ago: The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.

I didn't really understand what he was talking about at the time, I thought it was just another one of those silly platitudes that people who've smoked a bit too much drugs say. But after pondering it over the years, it has become one of my very favorite sayings.
Masks do protect the wearer! And you do not need an N95 mask to do this. Even a simple homemade mask offers some degree of protection. This[0] was a good explanation of both of these ideas.

tldr: There is reason to believe that large droplets, not the tiny droplets that N95s are designed to filter, are the primary threat, and any sort of physical barrier between those and your mouth/nose will help.

I see a lot of people saying that we shouldn't wear masks in order to preserve the supply for healthcare workers, but I think this is ridiculous. You
need a mask when you go out both to protect yourself and to protect others. A better message is, to preserve the supply for healthcare workers, make your own mask, or use a simple dust mask or a rave mask.

Exactly, it has no more weight than water cooler talk. In a number of aspects it exhibits wishful thinking that is counter-factual, especially in regard to home-made masks.
This is a serious problem for stolen artworks. Back in the day the IRA stole several. The most use they ever were was as collateral to other illegal organisations. If you can find a decent history of them, it’s fascinating but the long and the short of it is that even to a large, well connected organisation they just proved more trouble than they were worth,

The truth is, the aesthete billionaire collector beloved by movies doesn’t much exist. Most truly expensive artwork is bought either as a store of value or to show off. Both require you to be able to publicise you have it.
To add to that, shale produces apparently hedged hard against price drops and are currently sitting on a big pile of money ready to be deployed.
Just based on your off the cuff description I'd be seriously thinking about jumping ship. At least update your resume so you don't have to when the day finally comes (either by your initiative or theirs).
What is the cost of an .await point?

For this to work, perhaps Rust should cooperate too, inserting .await points at strategic places in the code, to keep cost low but still guaranteeing a certain responsiveness of the overall system.
It’s misleading to say there’s no evidence of smear transmission. Take that choral rehearsal you mention. Could have been that they breathed in droplets, also could have been that a droplet found their way to a shirt, the person touched their shirt, touched their face, bingo. The virus is known to survive on surfaces for several hours. In close, confined quarters the answer to smear vs droplet is likely “yes”.

Masks are most useful in stopping droplets from people who are actively shedding virus. This is probably the key driver for why in some mask wearing societies transmission is far lower.

Masks are clearly helpful in confined spaces and in the immediate radius of someone who coughed a few seconds ago. These conditions are what medical personnel face daily, hence they wear masks. Similarly people like Uber drivers or grocery clerks likely would benefit if well fitted and they don’t touch their face more.

Masks are maybe useful when around those who aren’t coughing (you make droplets when you breathe or talk) but generally that social distancing 6ft should cover that. Still, if you don’t touch your face more, it doesn’t hurt and might help a little.

Masks aren’t doing a whole lot walking around the street. As you and the article note if a mask makes you touch your face more, it could even be harmful.

In almost all of these cases, social distancing and hand washing is likely far more effective than masks. “Are masks useful?” is a complicated question, but as the article suggests, it’s probably, “a little, wash your hands, keep distant, that helps much more.”
I am very glad this post starts by acknowledging that sound on the web is frequently annoying.
Yes, incrementally better, not drastically, as compared to the 14nm parts.

That’s how generational leaps work. Competitors one-up each other, just like Intel one-upped the 1000 series with Coffee Lake. Time to market lost is time you’re giving your competitor to get their next generation ready.

Intel is now only 6 months away from their next release, Tiger Lake. We are already starting to see a few benchmarks leak out.

I don’t get why people think it’s such a big ask to not release half their lineup 9 months late. For that matter, where are the socketed APUs?

And for once I think our government was right in forcing everyone to wear a mask. As it turns out, it is not really hard to comply with something rather drastic like this & the whole nation pretty much equiped itself with hand made masks in a couple days.

I went out today in the second biggest city here in Czech Republic and you can see most people with self made cloth masks, a couple with simple single use disposable masks and just a single person with something looking like a respirator. And zero people without a mask.
If we had that manufacturing capacity here we would face similar issues since those factories would ideally be shut. If not shuttered, their labor forces would be suffering along with productivity as everyone gets infected.

The better solution is diversification of global supply chains which benefits all countries long-term.
They're even accepting homemade masks: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/25/business/coronavirus-mask...
This is absolutely correct. If all we're going to do is defer expenses, then this will ruin small businesses. We might see a wave of entrepreneurs opening up restaurants at bargain rents, but I don't know that the demand will be able to support them. Existing restaurants are toast, unless they get assistance (not zero loans) to keep running. Zero interest loans still mean debt.
It's a nice thought, unfortunately the human ego factor will get in the way. We live in a world where we cannot standardize on which side of a car the gas tank opening is.
Ah, but life is a FAANG job interview. If you pass the test, a life of luxury and leisure await you. If you fail, eternity in the damnation of tiny paychecks and meaningless work. You must endure the whiteboard challenges and strive for perfection to show that you are worthy for the promised land.

They seem to have stolen my idea too.
Almost every intergovernmental organization and UN agency has substantially this behavior when you try to communicate with them about Taiwan. This in turn is apparently because the PRC will threaten to reduce its cooperation or funding or other kinds of participation in such organizations if they ever suggest that Taiwan is a country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Taipei

In this regard WHO isn't particularly unique or corrupt in comparison with other agencies, and presumably the people who continue to comply with this policy feel like it's worth it simply because they think the risk of the PRC punishing them with reduced cooperation is so serious.

A more abstract view is that the intergovernmental organizations literally do work for the governments according to the rules that the governments have mutually agreed, which in turn includes things like defining who is or isn't allowed to participate. Therefore this kind of question could be viewed as asking "wouldn't you agree that your boss/employer's board of directors is wrong about...?".

To return to criticism of this situation and behavior: I think things like this also raise questions about whether the intergovernmental organizations are doing a good job, and whether their governance model and responsibilities are appropriate (because as in this case, they can sometimes do a much worse job when their bosses -- the member states -- find reasons to pressure them over political or symbolic issues). Someone defending these organizations would probably say that international diplomacy is very hard and that creating an organization with as much power and responsibility as WHO (for example) actually successfully exercises is difficult, considering that the default alternative might just be "national sovereignty and purely ad-hoc collaboration". That is, this particular flaw in WHO's actions could be seen as part of the price for WHO's existence at all (or for the PRC continuing to be a member state, which has seemingly been pretty relevant for WHO's ability to try to manage the COVID-19 crisis).

I think at the very least people should continue to pressure WHO about this kind of thing, not because it will directly change anything in the short term, but because it helps highlight the costs that the PRC's (or other states') conditions on participation are creating.

Yes, as many available supplies as possible should go to healthcare workers.

So make 10 masks, donate 9, and keep the 10th for yourself.

I think the idea is to run it with a handful of people and no VC.
I am not saying that you should keep or donate them, but if you choose to donate them, the Seattle Mask Brigade Page includes a link to other groups organizing mass collection of unused but opened N95 masks.

I apologize if you’ve already explored this but I figure it could help others.

Sort of related - it drives me up the wall when css frameworks change low level component class names. Bootstrap did it going from versions 2 to 3 and Foundation did it going from 5 to 6.

You demonstrated it for a reeeeeeeallly constrained version of the problem. Do you expect your solution would generalize to many lists? Because it would be easy to make a neural network that does, while your toy example (and larger generalizations) probably won't generalize super well.

x_i = ith list element from list x

y = sum(x_i * softmax(k * x)_i)

This one parameter, arbitrarily wide network one will get arbitrarily close to the max function.

This is a super toy version of why attention is so effective. It can pick stuff.

Biggest problem for me when working on a web game was that it was autocompleting the password input for creating a new room with the password for your account (from the login screen). I found no way to disable their autocomplete.
That's painful to read, it does not address the blatant lack of causality demonstrated in the FT chart with masks / no mask regions. You can't make that claim at all. If masks were that effective, SK and other countries wouldn't have engaged in their massive testing, quarantining programs at all.
That inner peace isn't a cause for one to put up their feet and not care for the sick or poor or widows. You could theoretically have incredible faith and walk around your whole Christian life not worrying what happens to you, but even then that peace only extends to yourself and you are commanded to love others, love justice, care for the sick, carry your cross, etc. I'd be curious to hear what kind of messages you're getting from missionaries, it seems really odd that this would be their message, but I know from the Joel Osteens of the world they are out there.

Please look up medically recommended air clearance methods. These have a long history of being used by people with serious lung issues to help keep them alive. One news video indicated that Italian doctors are using them before people are so bad as to need a ventilator, but they don't seem to be getting anywhere near as much press as the "ooh, shiny" solution of mechanical ventilators.

If we're willing to just let lots of people die, then sure, we "won't need it".

The case fatality rate (CFR) depends on ventilator and ICU capacity. We'll have a better estimate for US case fatality rates due to the outbreak in New York soon, but so far it seems to be that even though deaths lag cases, deaths have been roughly 2% of confirmed cases for a few weeks. If that holds up as confirmed cases rise into the millions, that would put this on par with the 1918 pandemic. If it doesn't, New York will give us a better idea of the CFR in a modern American city's medical system.
Jeremy Howard has done a ton of research. Depending on the material, it's around 50% effective, which is incredible given the current situation.

It could be, I'm not overly familiar with those details, and therefore hold no opinion. Only when I sense I have a fairly decent understanding of a situation do I form any opinions on it (or more accurately, this is how I try to approach things!). And often even not then, as I have awareness of and profound respect for the ~multidimensional complexity of reality, where many of the variables and associations involved are completely invisible from an individual human perspective.

Regardless, is this somehow related to my comment above?

> For a couple of "normal" website

Define 'normal' websites.

If can use static websites, or something like Heroku, then do so. K8s is basically irrelevant for this case. If you need to use VMs or containers, that's where the fun begins.

It is very tempting to just cobble together some bash scripts to install Apache, Nginx or the like, and try to forget about it. You mostly will, until you get pages. Maybe is some logs that are getting out of hand, maybe a process died and you forgot to add an auto-restart. Maybe your app got featured on hacker news... did you remember to create an auto-scaling group (or similar)? No? Now you'll be scrambling to clone your VMs. Do you have HTTPS (pretty much a requirement these days)? How are you rotating your certs? What happens when one of the machines go down? How do you even find which services are up? Now you have to configure a health check. I could keep going, but you get the picture.

For each and every one of these situations, K8s has an answer. Many of them are out of the box and for free. All you need to do is to provide a couple of YAMLs describing what you need. It will take care of the rest. You can deploy complex applications this way, in a standardized fashion. Yes, k8s looks complex, but it is trying to tackle a hard problem.

Basically, ask yourself this: would I benefit if I ran this thing on containers? Do I ever envision myself running this on more than one machine? If so, you would probably benefit from some container orchestration, of which K8s is the prime example.

I would advise against trying to install K8s by yourself, that can be a rabbit hole. Either use a cloud provider, use something like Kubeadmin or, if you are playing with one single machine, Ubuntu's micro k8s.
And how evil they actually are.
