Like it's often the case this is not just a problem of money. You can research virtually anything and not everything will yield anything of value to the human race. We need to have some direction. Epidemiology for example, sounds like a good high level scope that is definitely more directed towards human gains. Biology is a huge field. Also private funding and humanity's benefit are often at odds. Private funding tends to aim at making investors a return. What we really need (and Sam alludes to it) is a government/public fund for research so that labs have the ressources to research things that may never yield commercial profitability.
If you leave it to big pharma and other private biotech companies to advance humanity, it's like leaving the food industry in charge of making humans healthier.... not happening :(

I think that the kind of brainwash that we typically think about evaporates very quickly at front lines. But the actual fighting -- trying not to get killed, seeing your comrades killed, killing in return -- is a 'brainwash' of its own.
Presumably you can compare people who die vs those recover and no longer need the ventilator. The number that recover after being on a ventilator (for say, 2 weeks, or something) would seem to provide more information (though I suspect it may be a little harrowing to hear the number).
There are many reasons people like art, but I think the principle reason is (or should be) admiration of skill. It's the same reason we like watching great athletes or musicians - we can recognize the amount of time and talent required to produce the end result ("wow, I couldn't do that, even if I tried!").

It's also the same reason many people have a visceral negative reaction to "art" that seemingly requires little to no skill (4'33", Pollock, etc.) - why admire something you could easily imitate with little-to-no training?
> so three is the smallest number of things you can have in a set and have it be a set, instead of a unity or symmetry.

Three is the smallest number of things you can have in a [non-empty] set and have it not be a set of one or a set of two? You don't say. :)
Labor is a market too. I see no reason why we should support government action for one part of the market and accept ruthless market mechanics for the other. Both are important to the health of our society.

The concept of "the market" is so all encompassing as to be meaningless. It's just system justification at this point. We could just as easily call it economic duress. Very often people accept what they do because they lack the power to do otherwise.
Definition of antique:

I've been thinking that mass testing is going to be the next new normal.. but this is likely months out, until hospital demands for tests are met, then we can start filling the demand for the general public.

Involving the military and forcing people to be tested never crossed my mind though and I found this idea rather extreme.

> Forget everything else and just consider securing the site, collecting payments globally, tax, and you've got 15 FTEs right there.

I think you're over-estimating that by a factor of at least 15. If you're happy to say "let's just use Stripe, we'll support the countries they do, their payment forms are good enough" then that's like...1 FTE for a couple months to build your payments system, and then basically well under 1 FTE there-after to maintain it.

You can absolutely find work for 15 FTEs working on payments (and more!), and you'll probably end up with a better solution too, but there's plenty of startups accepting payments globally with, effectively, 0 FTEs working on payments.

Yep. Individual character development isn't Liu's strongest suit. His characters are mostly just allegories to prove a point. (Wenje - bitterness, Luo Ji - logic, etc.) But Liu is brilliant in his deception of mass psychology--the various ways in which large groups react to hopelessness.

Interestingly, I see a lot of parallels between Liu and Thomas Hardy. They both wrote sweeping tales that use individuals to represent abstract ideas. So, it's not just an Eastern thing.

One thing to add on top of this, adults have time limits.

I have no problem asking questions, but if there are only a couple minutes left in a meeting, I'm probably not going to ask if it's ultimately not a big deal.

Related to this, meetings can also have "wrong" questions. If it's not pertinent to the majority of the audience, it might be the wrong time to ask the question, making it a wrong question.

It has been clear for a while now that many data sets can be "de-anonymized" be they tax records or particularly location data. I have seen fitbit "anonymized" data of my own movement about our farm, of my wife's typical running route through our woods, of patrol routes around fire bases overseas and even movement of analysts within the pentagon.

Is it creepy, to be sure yes, but honestly it can't come as a surprise to you as a member of a "hacker news forum" that dozens of popular 3rd party apps collect and sell your location data "to improve your experience". Apps that you and I and more or less anyone else told "go ahead and collect this data and sell it to your partners".
I think a numbered list works even better for rules. The German translation of this article looks so much more satisfying to me.
Is this still being maintained? It's a great idea but the Keepass database format has been evolving (we're on version 4.x now) and I don't want to use unmaintained software to manage my passwords.

They should also be restricted to buying/selling with a 1-2 quarter lag on the buy/sell order to prevent them from dumping the indexes when they learn of something that will move the entire market like the current situation.
Ah, sorry, you're right, I misread your point and agree about demand being higher.

But I'm not sure that I agree that supply has increased in tandem -- at the very least, in the short-term, because there's an onboarding period. Since a lot of the jobless have access to unemployement benefits, they don't need to start right away. And further, even those who do like gig work will probably prefer food delivery, which has less interaction with others and thus lower risk of contracting the virus.

FWIW this is a limitation of KeepassXC itself and not the database format.

Nice set of features! I’m especially excited about the package managers.
All not very relevant. They keep the core business features (like merge request approval) carefully out of the OSS edition. And they haven't fixed the pricing for their premium offering either.
The camera in the video doesn't meet any of these descriptions. Metal construction 4x5 monorails are ten a penny and are still manufactured today. This model probably dates from the 50s-60s.

You can pick up something like this for very little money: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324084661177

The price of the item above corresponds to its actual utility as a camera. No-one is collecting these.
I wanted to jump on this bandwagon with my own experience. I worked for a software company about 4 years ago that had 6 people (including myself). Our company did $40M - $50M a year in revenue. No VC funding. We took thousands of transactions a month on Stripe and we basically never thought about payments. The software auto-handled collections or cut people off if they weren't paying (which in turn got them to pay-up). It automatically re-charged delinquent accounts, it automatically let people know that their card was about to expire, it automatically updated credit cards issued from banks (yes, really), and much more. We really never thought about payments at all. 90% of our transactions were USA, about 8% were Canada. And the other 2% was from Singapore. Never ran into any problem with these.

6 person crew generating $40M a year with no VC funding. It was all operated off the money that came in the door. It can be done.

Linux is monolithic, but also modular. While drivers are almost entirely implemented with these kinds of objects, "core" modules have less pluggable functionality, and so you don't see it as much. For example, contrast the page cache code (that's basically mm/) with the VFS code (fs/). You'll notice how almost anything I/O uses these kinds of objects heavily.
Haha, I original wrote "one giant zip file?" but I decided to rephrase it as a more serious answer.
you’re good at grandstanding, but you have yet to meaningfully engage with the numerous methodological critiques of Raoult’s work which, if unaddressed, make his result unethical and inappropriate for use as approval to act. There have been blinded trials of chloroquine; they have their issues too, but didn’t show an effect.

the side effects of chloroquine are nontrivial, at least one person has died in an attempt at self-medication by ingesting a substance that had a similar looking word in it, and pre-existing patients who do need the drug are being deprived of it as hucksters run rampant.

Keeping an even keel in a crisis and knowing when to make informed decisions on limited data and when not to are skills we develop and must have the strength to use as practicing scientists. Especially when it feels tempting not to.
A lot of Online classes require students to come on to campus for proctored exams and lab time. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

5 people can run meetup, but that's not the business or your product with better features would be bigger than meetup.

Most money goes to sales, business, strategy. Growing your company into meetup would take hundreds of employees endless sales calls, conferences, golfing dates, money raising, competitor spying, timing/luck and most importantly closers. Then you need people to manage, organize them, spy of them, babysit them and clean up after them. Nevermind the interns.. if they are paided.
> Btw, the 3800X is not a good pick.

That really depends on the pricing situation, very much like with the 3600x.

Over the months I've seen the price difference between a 3800x and 3700x see as low as 20€, the same with the 3600 and the 3600x.

That's because the 3600 and 3700x are recommended, and sold so often that retailers sometimes end up sitting on large stocks of 3600x/3800x too long and clear them out at discounts.

Imho even for gaming the 3800x might be a pretty good long term choice. The higher clocks are particularly relevant yet you still get the core advantage of the 3700x, without taking the same clock hit.

But if it's all about the budget and price/performance then it's really difficult to beat the 3600.

Then why bring it up in the first place? If we already know, then no need to propagandize it over and over again right? After all a political entity lying is like saying water is wet? Right?
Some nice updates but I admit I was just skipping down to the part where I could style them.
For developers, there’s little we can do with this. You’ve changed them. They are better but imagine devs will get a whole lot more excited when we can more easily visually bend them to the needs of our projects/apps. Do you have a vague idea when that should be?

Relevant is subjective. Merge request approval is not something a single contributor needs for example.

You can still get it by paying for it. In the end GitLab is a business, someone needs to pay something. As developer who runs a GitLab server for personal projects I don't miss any paid features.

Yeah, so that's a core part of the unintuitiveness of Quantum Mechanics. Nature itself, it turns out, is fundamentally quantized. And also random too.

It objectively cannot be broken down into a continuum.
A lot of the best startup advice is packaged coupled with VC fundraising advice, and if unless you think to question it then it seems like the natural thing to do. This very site was founded by the community that formed around a bunch of startup advice essays Paul Graham wrote to advertise his venture capital business.

And in the very low-capital-requirement world of pure tech, VC funding is actually kind of as strange choice. A lot of startups would be much better off as coops.
> For example, if a rainbow table contains a match for "a" repeating 500 times, then that password's entropy is a non-factor.

But it doesn't. You seem to be taking it as gospel that this sort of password is going to show up in the early in the list of passwords people are trying. But I don't buy it. There is no need to reject a long password that contains some repeated characters.

More test would lower that number not increase it. They are testing people who go into the ICU testing at this point would be for people not in the ICU dropping that number like a rock
VC money can win a market and make everyone rich. You just need to be aligned with the goals. Making a little bit of money isn't the goal. It's all of nothing if you stumble there might be a pivot. You agree not to stop until it dies, you die or you hit 2 years and growth doesn't look like a hockey stick and they take it away.
The ultraviolet catastrophe is for sure a good example of this phenomenon.
With all the known cases (e.g. 100k in the US) and about 0.5-1% taking HCQ continuously already for lupus and other diseases, if these people are underrepresented, we have a big clue that it works, almost to the point of proof (need to show that it's not the underlying condition that stops the virus, a-la sickle cell anemia vs malaria). If they are equally represented, it's discouraging, but not proof that it doesn't work (again because of underlying being a confounder).

This information should readily be available to the CDC or whoever else is tracking the cases. What am I missing? Why do you have to wait for double-blind trials?
The idea behind plastic guns is philosophical.

The government should not be able to forbid a person form effectively defending his or herself ; it's a natural right which can't be taken away by any government. 3D printed guns gives you back that right if your state has taken it away i.e. China. They are hard to detect so this is another plus ion the same vein as the first.

This is the point of the project as I understand it, as per the project's creator.

The Epoch Times is not exactly a reputable source, but that doesn't mean user counts haven't decreased. E.g. China Telecom's numbers show a drop of 5.6 million users in February: https://www.chinatelecom-h.com/en/ir/kpi.php?year=2020

I think it's unlikely that anyone who died remembered to cancel their contract beforehand and I'm not sure how quickly the Chinese bureaucracy would issue their relatives death certificates. The people who cancelled are probably alive but need to save money.

That’s hardly something I “just” discovered. Practically every other first world country offers deeply subsidized or nationalized health care except the United States, and considering my 40% effective tax rate isn’t much lower than those places, I’d rather all citizens have access and not have to forego health insurance for food or rent.
Meetup cannot be saved, they attempt to milk their existing herd too hard rather move them to better pastures. Meetup is only a verb, elastic search and a document store replaces it with <new verb>. It has zero compelling functionality.
The "modern global economy" allows it? I suggest you look up the wealth (adjusted for inflation) of many, many historical business and political figures. Extreme wealth for a few is nothing new and if anything modern global economics and markets have done a massive leveling up of standards of living for many more people who aren't incredibly rich.

That aside, how should something like your subjective notion of "disgusting" levels of wealth guide how much of what they earned people should be able to keep?
Theres a MIT article about this. At some point this has to be lifted because the area of the curve will stay the same. 100,000 ICU is 100,000 ICU we are just spreading it out but we need to be efficient with the pace of it.
