We can argue about specific examples, but I think you can more easily accept errors in your estimate so:

First, there are 12 not 11 known deaths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Princess_(ship)

Second your using both passengers and crew numbers to hit 712, but 145 of those where crew average age 36 and 567 occurred in passengers average age 69. Thus the demographic estimate of 30% also low.

Finally, for accuracy you need to adjust for the healthier than average population receiving better than average care. But, that’s more debatable.
What does it do?

These hint at some neat possibilities but I still don't get it:

a sound and music computing system

a tool for composing electro-acoustic pieces

A proprietary drug whose maker has said they will donate all 1.5 million doses that they currently have. That's more than they'll be able to produce over the next year (1 million) even after greatly increasing that production capacity.
Thank you for creating this.

As a museum lover (I've visited ~ 170 around the world), I struggle with getting into virtual tours. I wonder if anyone else feels that virtual museum tours are so far from ideal that it isn't worthwhile investing the time to browse? I can't seem to get into them -- not because of trivial reasons like "oh it's not like the real thing", but more like no one's been able to produce the right UI for enjoying a museum. Even Google's Art and Culture indoor maps of museums is only good for 5 minutes of amusement and not worth bothering with again. I clicked on several links in the comments and was like, eh -- doesn't really hold my interest (though if I were physically at the museum I'd be spending hours).

I wonder if these are factors:

1) Lack of good photography. Most museums tend to be dark, so you need professional photographers who know how to work with low-light photography. Also most pictures/videos tend to be low res for some reason, which takes away from the enjoyment. I wonder if most museums are loath to make high-res photography available for free because it cannibalizes their admissions.

Google Arts and Culture has some high-res artwork, but the selection is extremely limited.

2) Unwieldy ways to move in space. Google indoor maps, which has a FPS (first person shooter) interface, isn't the most natural to navigate, because it doesn't match how people actually experience a museum. I wonder if instead of an FPS perspective, an adventure-game orthographic view might make more sense? It would let you walk around the museum and click on objects to interact with them. Also let's face it -- professional museum goers will tell you that they are extremely selective and don't interact with all exhibits, so a frictionless way to preview and skip exhibits is key.

3) Limited/non-comprehensive collection. Usually only the less interesting collections are online. (not always true, but generally true). This is likely due to the cost of putting entire collections online, and there not being a lot of payoff -- unless it was possible to create a UI good enough to support monetization.

4) Lack of a cohesive story. Because only select pieces are on display online, the experience is disjointed, vs browsing a physical section of the museum which groups like objects together. The best museum story I've ever come across was the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which told a chronological story.

Does anyone know of any museum virtual tours that don't suffer from these issues?
What about jsonc or JSON5?

Mistakes happen, especially with spelling and grammar. Is it too much to ask that people be understanding instead of pedantic?
Surprisingly enough. Every company is not your company. We have a relatively small company but our infrastructure spend is about equal to the fully allocated cost of two or three full time developers.

Not every company just runs a three tier web app behind a load balancer.
This is how Lua got started - its predecessors started out as data description or configuration languages. The users felt it would be useful to have some forms of flow control, which led to the birth of Lua.

The comment is getting downvoted because it claims the BBC spreads fake news but then gives no evidence for it, instead pointing to Hearst publications from more than a hundred years ago.

Hiding poorly argued viewpoints creates an echo chamber of well-reasoned arguments, which converges on the truth. Do you consider arithmetic textbooks an echo chamber for endlessly parroting that 2+2=4?
Seems like those statistics would be pretty easily explained by Marseille being a week or two behind other areas in France on the epidemic curve.

Pennsylvania: 11510 cases, 150 deaths, mortality rate 1.3%

Is Pennsylvania also using HCQ systematically on all cases? I don't think these crude CFRs are useful.
Yes, it's all on top of Stripe. We're not trying to recreate the infrastructure that they've built
Your entire post seems to be about #6. And therefore it's entirely wrong.

Given that "people with background in infectious diseases" have largely failed, as a group, to warn us in January-February about this pandemic (see this Twitter thread for a slew of concrete examples https://twitter.com/RokoMijicUK/status/1246509433145917443), my conclusion is that unless someone has a background in hard quantitative field (regardless of what that field is), that person should not be let anywhere near quantitative models.
That sounds extreme, but many businesses weigh profits vs liability. For example, there are old industrial areas pretty much everywhere contaminated by all sorts of toxic waste. There was a furniture refinishing business not far from here, and there's a huge groundwater plume of toxic solvents under me. So no wells for us, here.

I suppose I should say the language itself is hindered by the horrible GUI application it runs in, the interface is ancient and dated, and the application crashed constantly on Mac. I took a class that that required the use of CSound, so I haven't explored the various options
Shifting more tax burden off oneself than the amount of extra tax income one's economic growth (due to the lessened tax burden) creates is immoral, because it's basically freeloading on others.
I'm gonna take a stab at assessing the relevance of the mistakes to a self-bootstrapper:

1. Single Founder: Plenty examples of successful bootstrappers on Indiehackers. There are also plenty of failed bootstrappers, but you likely won't hear about them obviously. The reasons pg listed for single founder failure is still valid for a bootstrapper though - it's a very lonely journey.

2. Bad Location: this is important for a different reason: as a bootstrapper relying on their own savings, I'd say location with low cost of living and fast Internet is the most ideal.

3. Marginal Niche: bootstrappers target niches since they're not focused on hyper-growth like conventional startups do.

4. Derivative Idea: not that big of a deal. Derivative ideas are pretty common amongst bootstrappers. You spend less time finding product/market fit if you work on popular/derivative ideas - but of course you'll also run into plenty of competitors.

5. Obstinacy: yeah, big killer. Be willing to adapt is sound advice regardless of your situation. The question is when do you know things aren't working well, or you just need to push a little more? Talk to users.

6. Hiring Bad Programmers: Definitely a killer. For bootstrappers who work alone, the question becomes am I skilled enough to build the product within a realistic scope and timeframe?

7. Choosing the Wrong Platform: people tend to use whatever they're most skilled at/comfortable with. It's still important that you do a survey of what's available out there before you commit, and always have a realistic migration plan when your success outgrows your initial scope.

8. Slowness in Launching: bootstrappers are big on the idea of MVPs and launching fast, but in practice, this is hard. Perfectionism is the bane of those who failed to launch.

9. Launching too Early: valid, but I imagine this is less of a problem for bootstrappers since you likely don't have much attention at the initial launch anyway.

10. Having No Specific User In Mind: totally valid.

11. Raising too little money: irrelevant.

12. Spending too much: I can't speak for all bootstrappers, but if you're bootstrapping from your own savings you're likely to be more careful with your spending.

13. Raising too much money: irrelevant.

14. Poor investor management: irrelevant.

15. Sacrificing Users to Supposed Profit: bootstrapped companies have to be profitable from day 1. There's no investor money to keep you going. I believe a good trade-off can be achieved here.

16. Not Wanting to Get Your Hands Dirty: yeah, arguably the most important one. Only way to deal with this is to constantly reach out to people and talk to them.

17. Fights Between Founders: totally valid, but irrelevant to single founder bootstrappers (plenty of these).

18. A half-hearted effort: a killer, for sure. But you don't necessarily have to quit your day job. Ideally, work part time as a consultant/contractor, and work on your business the rest of the time. It comes down to self (and time) management.
Ctrl+F search XML, no result.

I know the majority of developers hate XML config files, yet...

I try to make my apps depend on config files and manifests as little as possible, but DSL vs fully featured scripting languages has always been a big conundrum in software development. Is python a solution? the problem is that at some point you might be tempted to add json/yaml config files to your python config scripts...
You are exactly like the author. You don't understand enough to make the conclusions you make. Lenders aren't stupid in general. They have covenants to protect themselves.

In the case of Basecamp, which likely has almost zero physical assets, any loan is going to be very contingent on protecting the levels of profitability necessary to repay it. Whoever owns Basecamp won't be able to get a credit card in it's name without lender approval.

Source: I spent the last year working for a firm that is funded by venture capital loans. Every other loan & credit line had to be made subordinate to theirs, and we could not borrow anything new without their approval. It wouldn't matter who we sold the business to, they'd have to agree to the same restrictions or no sale.
Automated Data Lineage: The Quickest and Easiest Way to Do Data Mapping
Humans have the tendency to think they understand something if they have a label on it. It helps them take decisions faster, whether it's good or bad.

If you tell people you don't know what causes their respiratory illness, they may think you are incompetent, and feel helpless.

If you tell them they have acute bronchitis, suddenly they feel empowered. It just means they have an inflammation of the bronchi. It says nothing of the direct cause, nor the indirect cause: a virus, tobacco, dust, air pollution or asthma. It says nothing about how bad it is. They don't even know really what it implies for their body or their treatment.

But now they think they know.

Call something a democracy, and nobody will check if it is.

Call something a privilege, and people will start to want it, working hard for it.

Models can be used to help your interact with the world. But they are also used to avoid interacting with the world: if you use them as labels, instead of comparing the model with reality, you get a shortcut to take decisions. It becomes a mere name to justify a decision process instead of a tool for the decision process.
Yep. This is the same drug they tried to deploy against Ebola, and that's why they think itll be useful for such a wildly different drug virus here as well
I believe what most newcomers will want to bake is not a large bread - because then you're stuck with it if it turns out so-so - but rather smaller bread rolls. Those are based on instant yeast and prepared rather swiftly, so then the kitchen temperature becomes a major success/failure factor.
Is there any evidence of a fundemental quantized unit of time existing? Can I fundementally treat time as continuous or discrete? Plank time isn't good enough because it's possible that we see a phenomenon that happens over a shorter time period and that we need better instruments.

This question very important to me because I don't see a possibility that we can situate identity as existing metaphysically without quantized time. It also seems to imply to me that determinism is wrong.

But please correct me on this you big-brains I don't study quantum physics or general relativity
Under no circumstance would I allow my projects to be configured by a full-blown programming language. There is no way to ensure that there are no regressions under different configurations. The amount of complexity introduced just for configuration is insane.

If you feel the need to put code in your runtime config, that means your design sucks.
You actually can overlap RX and TX bandwidth on coax, though you need magic-tees and very good impedance matching in either end, and of course constant impedance cable. That limits it to about 100 Mbps, but you can buy the (magnetic) magic tees to do it. These are specifically for replacing analog video cameras with IP over the existing coax.
I couldn't find article but former Pakistan bowler, Sarfaraz Nawaz who is considered the inventor of reverse swing, formed a theory of air and it's pressure on ball while he was traveling on a helicopter.
So far many of the comments seem to have misread the article, which doesn't seek to address the mystery of what time is directly, but rather it describes a supposed mismatch between quantum and classical (via general relativity) interpretations of it's essence.
Basically it's for creating music programmatically, conceptually it's solid although it does lack some major features (you have to convert frequencies to notes, and as far as I'm aware there's no inherent option to use the note itself).
Many real programming languages are compiled. Does it mean I have to recompile the binary every time I change config?

Facebook has a product for fundraising to raise for personal needs (like Gofundme, donations are NOT deductible), or for nonprofits (tax-deductible, I think most 503c nonprofits are automatically eligible).

The value there is distribution -- FB makes it really easy for your passionate donors to share across their network, both actively (inviting others to donate) and passively (posting to the feed). (I think they also cover fees for processing cc's, according to [0])

Any headline is going to be pushing some kind of narrative. Personally, I'd like if they highlighted the government's role, with something like, "Government taxes large companies less than small companies, shows new research."
You are absolutely correct, I forgot to mention that. When it's cold outside, I actually have to keep the window closed and turn on the heating, or else my kitchen will be like 15 degrees celsius and the yeast won't rise quickly enough to counteract the wet dough slowly sliding flat.

It depends upon the loan and it's negotiated. If you start a chain of ice cream parlors and borrow millions to buy and build your stores, likely that loan is secured only by the store properties themselves.

If it's a general business loan with no physical assets to secure it, you can bet your bippy they'll demand covenants restricting how much other debt you can have and that those covenants survive change of control.
In the US, you can deduct mortgage interest from your income.

That clearly benefits the homeowner (lower taxes), while is harmful to society (less tax revenue).

So are people who take the mortgage tax deduction being immoral?
But configuration is a complex task! At least from my experience. Limiting yourself to solving it with mediocre tools (for instance language that disallow writing tests or even comments!) is a footgun, where you disregard good engineering tools for stringly types, duplicated configuration.
Yes, they hope to sieze all assets and sell the business after the UK emerges from the pandemic. One hopes the law makers in the UK will act to block this.
Like snakes, the landlord's teeth point inwards.
In mitigation, the landlords may well have their own mortgages to pay, and need to establich their legal position in a timely manner under contract laws, so a full governmental solution is needed.
I think the author oversimplifies the problems with climate models. They've had numerous mistakes and extremely critical ones. Not least of which is that they haven't factored for Multi-decadal changes in cloud cover albedo. The climate system is incredibly complex and our models do not have good models for all the subsystems that make it up, including the oceanic oscillations like Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation, PDO, etc. We can't even predict many of these subsystems with any degree of accuracy so we are hopelessly inaccurate at the higher level.
Again, this is the very thing that needs to be shown. You're simply repeating the same mistake.

The post I was responding to really had no _point_, per se. It merely asserted that it's ridiculous to require such experiments because... miracle drug!
But then your config files in Python also need tests. Are they still a config file then or config scripts? How do you limit what they can and can do? Easy to do with JSON or XML, harder with Python.
People often forget that formats such as JSON and XML is not meant to be hand written. It's a serialization format. It's meant to be parsed, while still human readable. It's very nice to have them human readable to make it easier to debug, and make quick changes. But you should probably use a tool to edit them.
Why is medecine the only subject that requires such a thing?
What's the difference between "overhead" and "salary" for the contractor? If they charge 500k for the job and give 250k to their employee, it doesn't really matter whether they billed him at an hourly rate of $30 or $300.
Some predictions of Quantum Electrodynamics have been verified to within 1 part in 100,000,000.

However, we know it cannot be completely accurate, as it has no way of explaining gravity.
Well, we could have benefited greatly from the mainstream media and politicians taking the outside predictions seriously at the beginning of this crisis. Instead we had to wait a month for the Imperial College London to say the same exact thing before certain leaders got their heads out of the sand.

Likewise now with hydroxychloroquine--if you listen to the epidemiologists all you'd hear is how it's an UNPROVEN drug. What we need instead is coverage of sample sizes, p values, bayesian predictions of effectiveness (in the absence of controlled studies) and serious modeling of the number of ICU beds and ventilators required with and without various levels of treatment, from emergency care to prophylactic use.

The epidemiologists have their head in the sand and think we can just wait 6 months for a proper set of randomized trials. It's the less attached data modelers you need to turn to get predictions that are useful for effective policy choices.
Actually, my first thought was that I got the same response from reading both headlines. It’s only after thinking a bit that I realized they had different meanings.

Though that’s just me, I think of the tax burden as a zero sum game. To get X revenue today from Y people it’s pure tradeoffs. Long term that’s slightly less true.
He's a writer with no specialized understanding of private equity, and it's clear by his writings on it.
Ok, so if a company suggested lower tax rates and convinced a politicians to change tax law, but didn’t bribe them at all, then it’s not immoral?

I think not containing any logic is a useful feature for config files. Logic adds complexity and potential for bugs and vulnerabilities - I actually like that JSON forces you to use simple primitives as config variables. I hate it when config files start containing function definitions; you can't pass those around to different processes.

I'm generally against the idea of complex configs. Configs should be simple. Sometimes that requires extra planning or thinking from developers. Every time I've allowed logic in config files, I've regretted it.

The main annoyance about JSON is lack of commenting ability. This is a point I agree with but not a big deal IMO, it's still better than all other alternatives.

JSON is ideal in terms of being both machine-readable and human-readable. Some people would argue that YAML is more human-readable, but it's definitely less machine-readable. With YAML, there are too many situations where some random code somewhere will remove all the new lines and tabs (for whatever reason) and mess everything up. JSON is resilient to machine sanitization. JSON is simple, robust and readable.
So you’re saying that the app reviewers “overlooked” - Sling, DirecTVNow, Microsoft Office, Hulu Live TV (not regular Hulu), Youtube TV, Spotify, ACloudGuru, the Kindle App, ComicXology, Netflix, Plex, etc.

I worry though that relying on dividends will result in little actual income for the government. It relies on stability in the company, but companies are always either in growth mode or collapse.

For example, amazon dividends have been $0 for a long time because like many companies in the modern economy, they reinvest profits. Shareholders are okay with this, because their shares increase in value, and a tiny bit because future bonds could exist.

However, in the modern economy companies seem to always reinvest profits right up until they collapse under their own weight.
This takes me back to the early days of TCP, when I used to do this. I had a TCP implementation with a "bit bucket"; every packet that was either rejected or didn't advance the connection (such as a duplicate) was logged. Then I'd send out emails to other developers; "Your packet sent at T did not conform to spec, per para..." Gradually, things got better.

The "urgent" option could be deprecated. The original purpose was for when a TELNET connection was sending data to a slow printing terminal such as a Teletype, and you wanted to cancel the output. The TCP connection was being held back by flow control waiting for the printer on output, and might be held back on input if you'd typed ahead but the server wouldn't take another line until the output was done.
The user would push BREAK, the TCP connection would send an urgent message, bypassing any queued data, and the server would get this, stop sending, and clear its output queue.

Almost nobody has needed that feature in this century. But there's probably someone, somewhere, with some ancient embedded device like a cash register printer, using it.
