Java JITs definitely do have type feedback. They profile the types of objects at virtual call sites and do guarded inlining, as well as removing expensive interface casts, etc. The JVM doesn't really have a distinction between classes generated on the fly and those that were on disk, as they all go through a classloader anyway. JVMs, for the most part, blow their brains out at the end of the day and start with zero the next VM run.
I think I read they were doing this in part to hurt Russian producers who would not cooperate with OPEC (KSA wanted to reduce production in a coordinated way). As a side effect this hurts American producers too and could drive them out of business.

Which would be bad for energy independence and in the end give more price control back to OPEC.
I don't know much economics, but one thing I learned is that markets tend to not work as such when the players are few and motivated by other reasons than pricing. Airlines are one such example, depending on the time period, because being so few and dependent on entry barriers such as airport slots and flying licenses, they can easily collude. Oil producers are even more so, being driven by government decisions and geopolitics more than just profit alone.

So I wouldn't say that the oil market is broken, as much as it has never really worked as a close-to-ideal market.

Do we have data/studies on the health effect comparison of the radioactive portion of emitted coal ash and the typical emitted/discharged effluents of a nuclear power plant?

Eg. isn't the NPP discharge much more localized so it affects a lot less people? Or both kinds have some of this and some of that and the gases are carried well with the wind anyway?

As referred in another comments.

Back to 2000's, ou had several commercial players, the most well known ones were Aicas, PTC, IBM, Aonix, J/Rockit, ...

In what concerns Android, it went to a couple of ways, in Android 5 introduced AOT compilation, but it did not scale to do that on device, when multiple applications where installed, with Android 7 Google introduced another approach.

Basically a mix of interpreted using a hand writter interpreter in Assembly, followed by a JIT, and then AOT compiling with PGO information gathered from the JIT, https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/jit-compiler

There are also a couple of Google IO related talks.

Back to standard Java implementations, not only you have those commercial vendors, IBM and Oracle have finally made AOT a free feature so you get it on OpenJDK and OpenJ9.

Besides AOT compiling, you also have the possibility to use a JIT cache between execution runs instead. This is sometimes a better approach, because you cannot use AOT on code that depends on reflection, unless you tell the compiler about all the classes that it doesn't see, but are also required to land on the executable.

Most well known Java related conferences (JaX, Devoxx, NDC, Java ONE, CodeOne, JVM Language Summit) have a couple of AOT related talks every now and then.
From what I read (analysts and decision makers) that's not what's going to happen. Money is injected and more will be to salvage industries and make up the loss (by increasing production after the crisis (or before the end)).

This will increase pollution and energy demands in the coming months at a higher level than before the crisis.

Well, from what I've read. I am a total idiot in these matters.

My impression is that there are vast amounts of oil at increasing levels of extraction cost. As cheap oil is used up, the price rises and it becomes financially viable to extract more expensive reserves. Eventually, the remaining oil may be so costly to extract that renewable energy will be cheaper, but it seems unlikely that we will ever extract the last drop of fossil fuels.

(Ignoring all the other reasons for cost fluctuations.)
Title should read 'confirmed Covid-19 cases by country', that makes a very large difference. Those figures are not to be trusted to begin with so any kind of processing you apply to them does not result in graphs that output a picture that you can then draw conclusions from.

Each country has their own standards in what is a confirmed case and what isn't and some countries actively discourage accurate reporting.

The primary mode of transmission is through droplets from coughing and sneezing. Minimizing the amount of time you spend around other people is by far the most effective way to avoid getting the virus. If you put away the delivered items, wash your hands, and then don't return to the kitchen for a few hours, then it doesn't matter if the delivery person infected your items. The virus can't last all that long outside the human body.

However, from a public health perspective you should only use delivery services if you're in an at-risk group. Otherwise you're just transferring your risk onto another person and also doubling the number of people who could be infected by this trip to the store (assuming you live alone).
I have a 295 page book in production. The print cost for paper bound is $5.46 for case laminate $10.02. Contrary to what you may think, print costs are not going to limit $0. Quite the other way, they have risen over the past seven years from $4.72 and $9.82 (roughly inflation for the paper bound).
I barely got two sentences in and have felt the need to comment that although Milan is much further from Wuhan than the Russian border the virus isn't walking to these destinations!

I know no-one here seriously thinks about buying and storing a barrel in their cave, but it’s still worth saying: Oil is surprisingly very toxic, it contains a lot of uncontrolled compounds with sulfur for example, by definition (The goal of refineries is obviously to separate those compounds).

I know this is the wrong attitude but with no ties to the oil industry that I am aware of I personally am enjoying watching the market crash and my cost of gas go way down. However my understanding of the economy is poor. Does this negatively effect the average joe or mainly oil producers?

Azure has, built in, hard price/cost limits but doesn't allow the public to use them. For example if you have MSDN subscription credit you get a hard limit of up to $150/month, but you yourself cannot pick a bespoke limit to use the service more safely.

Kind of makes me annoyed. I'm sure enterprises don't care/want unlimited. But solo practitioners, and people new to the platform would love a default e.g. $5K/month limit (or less).

Feels like these services just want people to "gotcha" into spending a bunch of money without simple safety nets.

PS - No, alerts do not accomplish the same thing, by the time you get the alert you could have spent tens of thousands.
> once you turn off the tap you don't really know whether the oil is going to start flowing again later

Wait, really? I'm Googling but can't seem to find anything at all about shutting down oil wells temporarily.

What exactly is the difficulty? Why would "turning off the tap" be a risk -- the pressure oil might be under isn't going to go away, is it? (If it doesn't require pumping.) Is it a risk that materials in the drilled hole harden if not moving? I would have thought the difficulty might be how to effectively cap a well that is under pressure -- is it so difficult that closing a well risks damaging the equipment that it can't be safely opened back up?

Really curious here if you have the answers! The fact that oil wells can't be slowed down is definitely one of the most surprising economic facts I've learned in a long time.
And think is why the stock prices of companies that have a bunch of oil tankers has shot up.

I liked this article, but one point it misses is that you should be solving problems in a way that makes it easy to keep solving problems in the future, and that's a tradeoff that even more people get wrong.

For instance, writing good, maintainable code only matters because if you don't, you might reduce your ability to solve more problems in the future when the problems you need to solve might change, due to learning new information about your users/customers, your users/customers changing, etc. For example:
- the code itself might be difficult to understand, reason about, and change, making it hard to make changes.
- the code might require time spent on maintenance, which reduces the time you can spend making forward progress.

Government and industry will want demand to ramp back up, but it's doubtful that will be supported by consumers. I don't think you're going to see an instant rush back to international travel.

Same goes for most other industries. This isn't a situation where you just wake up one day and it's over. It's not a war where you just make up and get back to work. This virus is out there, and most experts say even if you were already infected, you will only become temporarily immune (similar to flu).

So until you see a vaccine develop, coronavirus is not going away by any stretch. It will continue to cause problems in the medium term.

Yes! That’s where I saw it, so I started making my own graphs like that for the US states that I and my relatives live in.

I've seen this, and similar, opinions about grocery stores that just illustrates how detached the public is from modern food supply chains.

Do you have any idea how many hands touch your food before it gets on your plate? From the fields (where works probably urinate while on the job) to the shelves, it passes through probably 10s if not 100s of hands.
These things are often counter intuitive. We should subsidize pollution and at the same time tax it. This allows us to strategically put an accounting framework in place that will allow us to later turn the knob to increase the taxes.

You first have to give the corporate world a gift before you take it away. Similarly to how the corporate world treats consumers.

You mean it can actually physically stop if the flow from the ground is blocked for a while? Can you expand if possible.

Edit: I understand it comes out of the ground quite hot (I've heard of 200 C) and if it flows into cool pipes and stays still maybe it would 'congeal'.

Partially I'm guessing this is an artifact of just-in-time delivery - almost no storage outside of shelves (there's no central storage location that could fulfill orders).

Still, if the stores handle this themselves - it's much more feasible to take extra precautions - from using a locker room to change into a uniform (not bringing outdoor/home clothes into the store) - to using disposable gloves etc.

Ideally, stores would offer only pickup and delivery - and not allow in-store shopping at all.

Would probably make sense to increase staff as needed, as any additional staff needs would scale with increase in revenue.

If you phrase it adversarially it makes more sense... 2/3 of the time you select a goat and force Monty to reveal the other goat. For those 2/3, you're guaranteed to get a car by switching. The remaining third you get a goat.

If you take the "stay" strategy... 1/3 you hit the car and keep it. 2/3 you hit a goat and keep it.

In summary... "switch" is 2/3 car, "stay" is 2/3 goat.

In these times you should choose "stay" and hope to get a goat so you can turn grass into food. Cars are overrated.

It's somewhat more complicated than that. There are other factors.

1.) Publishers do provide editing, etc. services that authors would otherwise have to pay for out of their own pockets. That may or may not be a worthwhile tradeoff. But, between forgoing and advance and paying for services, authors are probably at least a few $K out of pocket if they go their own way. To the degree that things like book tours/promotion/etc. are relevant--they often aren't--that can add to the difference.

2.) For, especially non-fiction, authors for whom books are more about boosting their profile than bringing in money directly, traditional publishers (rightly or wrongly) have considerably more cachet than independent publishing.

3.) This becomes less and less important, but independently published books probably won't be in book stores.

>There must be rules concerning intellectual property.

Why? Human societies created plenty of art and innovation just fine for thousands of years without the concept of intellectual property being a thing.

We tend not to believe that being the first person to write some specific code gives the author the right to restrict any party from editing or redistributing it under any circumstances, or that the author deserves any compensation at all for their work. Why should that freedom be considered fundamental and inalienable only when applied to software, but not all creative works? Particularly since most such works are now distributed as software.

I can understand paying for the physical manufacture of a book or other distribution medium, or maybe paying to cover server costs and hosting, but I can't see a strong argument for the premise that expression itself can or should be owned, if for no other reason than, in modernity, the ownership of media is also the ownership of culture, and corporate ownership of media is also corporate ownership of cultural expression.

Like as not, Disney's versions of old fairy tales are the canonical representation in most of the world. Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, the DCU, etc, are no less components of modern culture than Shakespeare, Byron, Dickens, Homer, etc.

Yet while anyone can tell a story using Romeo and Juliet, or ancient gods, no one can or will ever be allowed to legally tell stories in the Star Wars, Disney or Harry Potter universes without permission from the IP owners. Those copyrights will be extended and enforced indefinitely. Regardless of your beliefs about whether and how an artist should be compensated for their art, this commoditization of free expression to a form which is only legitimate if it generates revenue (often for a corporation and not the creator,) is damaging to society as a whole.

At best, maybe, the term for copyrights should be extremely limited, and there should be laws preventing the extension of copyright beyond a certain time. But not forever.

>Laws are the rules our society lives by, and when a prominent public organization decides to willfully break copyright law in this manner it harms everyone.

The obvious rebuttal to this is that it is not only our right but our obligation to break unjust laws, and many people consider copyright and IP laws to be unjust.

Of course, the obvious counter-rebuttal to that is that most people who claim the moral high ground for piracy really just want free stuff.
This is only anecdotal, not personal experience, but I've read online and have had friends "oops" away large sums of money on AWS, and for the most part they seem to have at least gotten a partial discount when they contacted customer support.

I strongly suspect opaque pricing and high/nonexistent limits are more about getting large organizations to transition to the cloud seamlessly (i.e. not completely caring/realizing what they're getting into for any particular migration/deployment).

Tricking personal users into spending thousands by accident probably doesn't net much money compared to enterprise spend and runs the risk of alienating people who then can go into work and recommend against using a particular platform, having been burned by it on their personal accounts.
A contract to deliver oil in 2021 is known as a future [0], you can trade these on the market. The "problem" facing you is that the market also understands that the price of oil is going to go up, a barrel of WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil is $21.84 for delivery this May, but $35.53 for delivery next may [1].

I think you might be looking at USO if you're seeing a $10 USD call price, or another ETF which doesn't actually match the price of 1 barrel = 1 share. There is no way a $10 call is $0.3 USD when the market price is $20+. It should be a minimum of the price difference between the underlying and the strike price for an in-the-money option.
