Well, as you seem to struggle with that one too, the clue's in the question - the guy's name was Li Wenliang!

Anyway

> American doctor was fired for talking about lack of materials for doctors and nurses

Link please. Then we'll see if it's so, and if so, if there's any comparison.

> but there was enough data public about China having trouble in January

Indeed there was. I used that info to prepare BTW. And it only got out because the CCP could not suppress it totally. So "the CCP failed to suppress..." is not the same as "the CCP published...". Indeed, you said it better than I did: "They di[d] not actually managed to make it much of secret"

Wenliang had more balls and brains than the entire CCP put together. I salute the gent.

> And right now, "Chinese are lying"

Not The Chinese. Not Wenliang and those like him. The CCP and their mouthpieces.

> It just can't possibly be that America has taken lead in infected

The US fucked up monumentally and will pay the price. That much the US recognises, and all of it will do in just a very few weeks.

BTW could you translate that letter for us?
Just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing work you put up online. It’s great to see all the science one can do in a spare garage.
Here is a blog on home IC production: http://sam.zeloof.xyz/first-ic/

Having done some work in a university lab, I have no desire to be involved in silicon work in a home environment. It requires dangerous chemicals, and lots of equipment and dedication.

A short list of what I remember:
- Spin coater
- Some solution of exposure of masks
- Various chemical baths (HH, piranha, etc) in a dedicated area.
- Inspection microscope
- Tube oven
- Vapor deposition
- A way to measure film thickness
No, not all of them.

I'm really excited with the prospect of a a fast, multi core chip that does not throttle on a laptop. That G14 that everyone seems to be doing the initial review with shows really nice single and multicore performance with a small thermal signature. The gaming 'workout' is not terribly dissimilar to what I'd hope to see unplugged doing development.

The i9 I've got in my work laptop just cannot handle the watts it tries to consume. I've held off updating my personal laptop waiting for something that is not an 8lb+ brick to allow it to run with a load. Should be a promising Spring/Summer.
Sam Zeloof (also on YouTube) has already done it! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7E8-0Ou69hwScPW1_fQApA Check out all of his amazing work.
You are certainly correct, but a bit of light digging + reflection on your company can give you a lot of confidence. For example, I work at a startup and I can say with great certainty that my boss has way too much going on for him to have installed any sort of rootkit after wiping the previous data and before I set up my admin account.
Oh boo hoo. I'm playing "my heart goes out for you" on the worlds smallest violin.

The dramatically expanded access to information and the positive benefits of this far outweighs the benefits of the profits to publishers (and the minuscule subset of those profits which filter down to the authors). It's not even in the same ballpark.

The standard deviation of author profits is massive. Don't trust their claim that most authors are hardly earning more than 20k a year as evidence that small time authors gets screwed over. The ones who earn that much are almost never targeted for piracy. Pirates go out of their way to minimize the impact that their actions have on small time authors. It's the same with video game piracy. It's the ones who are making hundreds of thousands a year who are going to lose out.

Make this library permanent for the good of society.
Ambitious project! I hope there's some useful contributions to come for UI development. I was confused by the "concepts" sections—there's little meters with red and green, but it doesn't really express what those meters mean nor how they've been evaluated for each concept. It's surprising to me that something like a "basic" checkbox would get a 3/14 green: checkboxes are a pretty standard form element for both electronic and printed forms: what's so poor about the UI of this element? What's the better alternative?
Not everyone; there's still a couple dozen other offices scattered around the Bay Area.

> Distinguishing on/off state only by color is highly non-usable.

All of the examples use at least color and position, the majority also add an additional icon in the checked state (one of those also has a different icon on the unchecked state) and Material Design uses a relative contrast distinction (which, unlike a simple color distinction, is readily distinguishable for the colorblind.) There is exactly one (ANT design) that uses only color and position to distinguish between checked and unchecked states.

They gave you access to read... not to download and read later. So no shock you got blocked.

IMHO as a life-long ACM member... library access should be permanently free. But that's clearly not what they have chosen to do.
OK I usually agree with this but the elephant in the room is- what if some large number of those let go and also employed drop dead and people perceive it's because of Instacart/Amazon's callous attitude towards their safety?

Serious question, not being combative with you.

Doesn't Amazon have a very real hazard here which could result in burdensome regulation and or customer defection?
Things can be legal in specific situations even if it's illegal in others. It's up to courts to decide on that.

Just for clarification, neither are supported according to the linked document. (the double negative was confusing for me)

Could you elaborate on that? What were problematic?
Unfortunately, people voting on StackOverflow are not always correct. If you want the correct answer without guessing, you can check the ECMAScript spec itself:

8.3.2 GetThisEnvironment ( )

The abstract operation GetThisEnvironment finds the Environment Record that currently supplies the binding of the keyword this. GetThisEnvironment performs the following steps:

1. Let lex be the running execution context’s LexicalEnvironment.
2. Repeat
a. Let envRec be lex’s EnvironmentRecord.
b. Let exists be envRec.HasThisBinding().
c. If exists is true, return envRec.
d. Let outer be the value of lex’s outer environment reference.
e. Let lex be outer.

NOTE The loop in step 2 will always terminate because the list of environments always ends with the global environment which has a this binding.

Source: http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-getthise...

This is pretty unambiguous. The "this" binding is resolved in the lexical scope, not the dynamic scope.
Please see other comments, but I have an inability to lie, I can do white-lies but that's it, just against my morals.

I threatened as it was true and I'm that desperate and I know that if I do that at least there would be some form of inquiry and sadly, that seems to be my best hope having tried all the right things.

I have many solutions that are wrong things and illegal that I could do to solve this, but again, against my morals. I'm happy to grey the law, but not break the law.

I've tried social engineering with some success and brief respites but again, limits. I've no issue hacking any dealers phones and the like and have done in the past and passed on intel, but alas downstairs are still there.

Projects like these are saying just because we figured out how chairs work, everyone should use the same chair.

It just completely misses the point, people like it when they build something themselves it looks how they like it. Want to spend years working on something that looks exactly like everything else?
Yes, they kinda are, they use the police to take out competition and with that, I'm so screwed that it is beyond a joke.

The small company focussed on their core service. The VC corp has to reach out to new markets, increase sign ups, please advertisers and produce shiny growth figured for investors.

For users of the Meetup site it should be slim and I want to spend as little time there as possible (i.e. get invitation mail, ideally respond by mail, done) Meetup however wants me to "engage" trying to convince me to go to more meetups, rate them, comment, ... do as many clicks as possible while not driving users away ... all these deceptions take time to do, to try out, to A/B test. A committed founder who uses the site themselves notices where users got trouble and works on that. Maybe not in a team of five but also not hundreds.
Can you do videolithography next? Soft circuits of some kind. Then we can use machine learning to generate purposeful circuits—with CNNs, GANs, etc.
I'll give you a potential corollary. Quality control.

In a perfect world, quality control twiddles their thumbs all day, does some tests, and collects a paycheck because everything is perfect the first time.

In practice, I know engineers who leave in tiny and easy to fix mistakes for QC to catch. They do this because if they turn in something with no errors QC finds something for them to add, frequently requiring larger changes and thus creating a crunch. QC does this because they have someone breathing down their neck who measures their effectiveness by how many errors they caught. I'll refer you to Goodhart's Law[0].

I'll also note that I see this as a common "tip" for paper submissions. But I'm not sure it is as strong of a correlation as when passing things through QC.

Check boxes don't imply immediate effects. They require 'saving' to take effect. Like when you're filling out a form, the checkbox doesn't do anything until the form is 'interpreted' by a human.

Switches(toggles) on the other hand, imply immediate effects. Like a light switch, we expect the change to occur immediately.

I think this really varies on the company. I'd hesitate to make industry wide statements about it... Right now, the company I'm at is treating remote work no different than working from the office. We have core hours and regular meetings. They're just remote. If anything, they're more lenient since about half the people have kids at home right now too. So, they know you can't focus completely...

I've seen plenty of my coworkers staying late at the office or, just as often, having to login at home to do nights and weekends work. So, whatever line in the sand you think exists for office work is purely imaginary. If they want to extract more hours from you, they'll keep pushing until you say no.
Well, identical except for weak force interactions.
If you look around, you’ll also find photographers, painters, videographers, illustrators, designers, and musicians making similar arguments.
> The core barrier here comes down to the different templated-rendering systems.

This shouldn't be a barrier at all. The rendering system a component uses should be an entirely encapsulated implementation detail of the component. Components should absolutely not have to use the same template system to be used together.

This is something web components get very, very correct.

> Web components are nearly useless without having a story for reactive rendering

There are libraries that address just that specific need, like lit-html which I maintain. Again, it's an implementation detail of the component.

> What we need is a browser standard for templated/reactive rendering of DOM content (data + template = DOM)

While rendering should be an implementation detail, I still agree with you here, simply because templating is such a universal need that the platform should provide some primitives to help developers.

The current best proposal in this area is Template Instantiation: https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposals...

The main idea is that it lets you mark up a <template> with references that will be cloned along with the template contents. These references can then be used to dynamically update the cloned instance. You can accelerate most template systems with these primitives. It's critical because the DOM doesn't have any other way to clone a chunk of DOM along with references to specific nodes in that tree without manually walking the clone's tree.

Ugh I sat at a desk in front of our CIO once (I was service desk). I wasnt too concerned but boy was it didtracting! I couldnt see him so he could have been watching me all day, or just doing his work. The bottom line is it made me more stressed, lowered my productivity and I got VERY good at flipping between our asset database, ticketing tool and email.
Not an issue as I know all the CCTV and how to locate them easily enough as well as able to take them out. However there are other junkies in area and they all work together with the CCTV controlled by them, which they use to monitor police etc and stay ahead of them. I jest you not, it's shocking.

As mentioned later in the article, the use of these third-party tools isn't new.
They know (and wouldn't deny) it's against normal copyright law and an infringement of the IP of the authors/publishers; they are hoping that courts would side with them as a "war-time emergency measure taken in the national interest."

I am deeply appreciative of the Internet Archive which is why I probably wouldn't have taken that bet. It would be horrible if their solvency and future relied on the outcome of the inevitable lawsuits to follow, and I don't think the risk (of losing IA) is worth the benefit (and this is why things this important should be government-backed so that they can ignore some laws with impunity in time of need, or at least without risking their very existence).

Personally, I'd have switched to shorter waitlists first (e.g. 24 hours or even 4 hours). But I'm not a domain expert; what do I know?

The tips in bullet form:

- Write a bad version 1 as fast as you can

- rewrite it over and over

- cut out everything unnecessary

- write in a conversational tone

- develop a nose for bad writing, so you can see and fix it in yours

- imitate writers you like

- if you can't get started, tell someone what you plan to write about, then write down what you said

- expect 80% of the ideas in an essay to happen after you start writing it, and 50% of those you start with to be wrong

- be confident enough to cut

- have friends you trust read your stuff and tell you which bits are confusing or drag

- don't (always) make detailed outlines

- mull ideas over for a few days before writing

- carry a small notebook or scrap paper with you

- start writing when you think of the first sentence

- if a deadline forces you to start before that, just say the most important sentence first

- write about stuff you like

- don't try to sound impressive

- don't hesitate to change the topic on the fly

- use footnotes to contain digressions

- use anaphora to knit sentences together

- read your essays out loud to see (a) where you stumble over awkward phrases and (b) which bits are boring (the paragraphs you dread reading)

- try to tell the reader something new and useful

- work in fairly big quanta of time

- when you restart, begin by rereading what you have so far

- when you finish, leave yourself something easy to start with

- accumulate notes for topics you plan to cover at the bottom of the file

- don't feel obliged to cover any of them

- write for a reader who won't read the essay as carefully as you do, just as pop songs are designed to sound ok on crappy car radios

- if you say anything mistaken, fix it immediately

- ask friends which sentence you'll regret most

- go back and tone down harsh remarks

- publish stuff online, because an audience makes you write more, and thus generate more ideas

- print out drafts instead of just looking at them on the screen

- use simple, germanic words

- learn to distinguish surprises from digressions

- learn to recognize the approach of an ending, and when one appears, grab it.

There's a similar story of using Druid at Netflix: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22574647

Druid is a very specialized datastore with a niche usage around low-latency analytics under specific pre-set aggregations but it has a lot of moving parts. It also just recently got a beta SQL interface (which translates to the underlying custom JSON API) and isn't as easy to integrate with existing tools (outside of Kafka).

Overall I suggest smaller companies stick to a standard column-oriented data warehouse like Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake, Clickhouse, MemSQL, etc instead of Druid.

Because we can figure out the rate and inform people how much distancing they can do. I don't think this is tenable. IN SF, for example, April 7th is the date restaurants/bar are all openings again. This city is filled with smart people, but its very apparent if a max rate of daily interaction is shown people will start to ignore it. Honestly, they already are.

As a counter, low skilled workers absolutely should get a pay increase because their work is more valuable and the hazards they face are more extreme - "professional class" workers should expect a real income pay reduction during this crisis since their labour is relatively lowered in value compared to during a normal world state.

Additionally, we, as a society, should value minimizing the number of people working in these roles and their interactions to ensure they remain healthy and don't become transmission vectors.
I know what you mean, but I'd argue while that works for technical details with defined inputs->outputs, it doesn't really work for UI which is a much more open ended problem/solution space which the user directly interacts with. Beyond even the practical concerns with locking yourself down to certain modes of doing UI, there's also just evolving taste, trends of usage, device types etc. I just don't think UI is something you can ever call done.

Sadly the only avenue would be public exposure of this and that alas would bury under current events. Also the process could very well kill me anyway due to stress/heart. But that's happening anyhow, I'm close to the edge and would rather go out knowing justice lives than not.

Moving - see other responses, covered that.

Only way forward would be a reporter who wants a big story or availing illegal avenues of which I have over the years, formulated many, including the perfect murder.

But it's not as easy as it sounds and sadly hard to articulate all the aspects and details.

But I will see the whole lots of those who failed me and these scum justiced, one way or another. It's my only way forward as even if could move, I'd have no closure and the horrors would live on, I need closure or I'm stuck living this wherever I went and sadly there is not option for that - see other reply's.
