The same as you measure the profit of any business. They're just referred to as net assets[1].

Non-profit is a misnomer - not for profit is a more apt phrase. While they can't operate with the intent of generating profit, they're perfectly allowed to actually generate profit from various activities. With the intention that the profits from that activity will be a revenue stream that funds loss-making activities elsewhere which support their nonprofit mission (such as issuing grants). Hence it's kept on the books as net assets.

The only thing I don't like with Kotlin is the lack of a decent syntax for list and map literals. Unfortunately it seems to have resolved in a dead end as far as implementation into the language goes. It's still a nice language but quite awkward and ugly in the context of expressing a lot of literal data.

From that perspective Groovy is much nicer ...
Well yes, and actually the OP is about even another kind. The article references a birthday party, which is more of a general social event vs a music or participatory/thematic event which is what you’re talking about. Interestingly, the dance club environment seems easier to elicit online than the birthday party. The birthday party is all about the social chit chat dynamics whereas the club environments have a primary focus on the music (even tho there’s plenty of other interactions as well). Online if you have faces + music, you have a dance party, or a decent facsimile.

Which could be rephrased as "governments should write tax law such that corporations pay taxes, to help governments provide services".

Granted, companies work hard to be devious. But when we allow them to spend their profits on a whole slew of stuff that reduces their tax rates to zero percent, it seems churlish to blame the companies. Government specifically waived taxes in order to encourage e.g. R&D and now we, the people, are paying the price of the details of a large raft of this sort of law making.
FYI, phpcs now has something similar (since roughly 2016), but I imagine your implementation predates that by a significant margin (and yours obviously supports noreturn too).

Yeah, possibly the worst offender is the (somewhat common) "switch (true)" pattern: https://psalm.dev/r/4c168a9c5d

Sadly I don't have the latitude you all do to govern how code gets written by users of my own static analysis tool – fall-through has to work there, too: https://psalm.dev/r/1d4ee59bd6
That’s not true. The way it’s administered is an SBA loan, which have very specific guidelines banks must follow.
I have a hard time believing and reconciling that against the cost of treatments.

E.g., I had my vocal cords looked at; took only ~1/2 hour of an ENTs time, and is a (somewhat) common and non-risky procedure. $4,000. I have no way to justify that price — I highly doubt the ENT is making $8k/hr! It was one of the big reasons that drove me away from PPOs in general: completely opaque, expensive, retroactive billing. Going to the doctors puts you on the hook for near unlimited liability.

Now, Kaiser was a nice contrast; I had the opportunity to get my wrist operated on for RSI. Somewhat invasive, would require weeks of healing, not guaranteed to be successful (it had a ~50% success rate!): $300, priced out before the operation.

(Sadly, I'm no longer with Kaiser, as they were west-coast and the rent was too high.)
I'm one of the founders of OneSignal. Here's some of what we've seen our clients do for each of these:

a) Push notification fatigue

You should treat notifications as you do any other major product feature. This means seeking to experience the feature yourself as a user would, doing user research & interviews, and instrumenting analytics around this.

In general, you should make sure that notifications are very useful to your recipient as often as possible. For notifications that make a vibration/sound, aim for 50%+ of notifications to be very useful. For notifications that do not play a vibration or sound, 20% is a reasonable target.

b) Lifecycle of push notification

Tools like OneSignal help with this. We recommend setting up a well-thought-out series of automated messages, or scheduled messages, based on user interactions.

c) Push notification open rates

OneSignal and other tools provide this data. Keep in mind that open rates are just part of the picture -- users often open the app directly after receiving a notification. In OneSignal this is tracked as an "Influenced Open". Furthermore, make sure you're tracking CTR against notifications actually received by the device, not just notifications you send (Some notifications may have been "sent" to devices that are no longer active and won't receive it).

Whether you use OneSignal or build notification support yourself, this is an important metric to instrument correctly and keep an eye on.
You can also make an Agile team and assign chores in sprints. You can install Jira to help keeping track.

Or you can just discuss and do them when needed.
It’s less the obscurity, and more that to a layman, you are saying in the title that modelling doesn't work, or it really doesn’t work. Understanding your audience and all that. Someone should write an article about it so we aren’t misrepresenting our point by trying to be clever and assume the layman understands that which has not been explained to them...
Ah man.. that is super cool. Very tempted to build one now!!
And on top of that, some of the technological "advancements" actually make things worse. Personally I loathe the trend towards 3D-rendered "anime", artificially stuttered to make it resemble a hand-drawn animation. The only time such techniques are appropriate is when showing something mechanized. Used on regular characters, it looks terrible. Knights of Sidonia was a great show, but it looked really bad. The visually-best recent animes are ones like Devilman Crybaby that really embrace the hand-drawn medium and run with it.

The world's financial systems depend heavily on trust too.

Take credit cards. As an end user you perceive some fairly heavyweight albeit imperfect security, but in reality there are two parallel systems and only one of them is using those security features.

Authorisation is the part that ties your good name to your transactions. The bank doesn't trust you, so considerable technological effort is used in Authorisation. Chip cards, PINs, extra passwords and codes for web transactions, that's all Authorization.

Settlement moves money between your account and a merchant account. This isn't secured at all, it's just based on trust. Any merchant can assert that you used your card to pay them any amount and by default the bank takes it on trust.

Authorisation is abuse resistant. If you try to replay the same authorization multiple times it doesn't work.

Settlement doesn't care. If a worker messes up and puts a big merchant's daily settlement transactions through twice, every single one of those transactions just happens again. Paid $80 for groceries leaving $38 in the account until pay day? Sorry, now you're $42 overdrawn. This really happens.

If you complain they'll fix it. If hundreds of customers complain they'll realize the error and fix it for everyone. But this is why you have to check your credit card bill. Sooner or later there will be errors, and if you don't check you'll never see them which can get expensive fast.
> they're obsolete unless you just prefer their syntax.

This is a good point.

Sometimes I prefer the (ugly) syntax of switches than that of conditionals. The reason is that a chain of conditionals is non-symmetrical (there's no condition for the first "case"), while a switch is formally invariant to permutation of the cases. I have even seen shit like this:

if (false) ;
else if (c == 1) { first case ; }
else if (c == 2) { second case; }
...

just to preserve the symmetry along the cases.
Awesome idea! It could be applied to a lot of different websites. Even ones where I'm too lazy to type out the whole URL :p

Regardless, having a system where you can base it off a website could definitely be expanded beyond Wikipedia. Great work!
You're definitely not calling the right hospitals. In LA, hospitals have been accepting donations of masks from people, and purchasing them from local companies. No bureaucracy involved.

And it's now rare to see people not wearing masks in LA.
Rclone – Sync files and directories to many cloud storage providers
Masks aren't a large enough portion of a hospitals budget for cashflow to be a major concern. Besides which loans exist (though we are neglecting to properly account for the future value of money in our napkin math).
IRR already contains all the data. Cryptographically signing it can't increase the rate at which people will use it (one could argue throwing crypto into the mix decreases adoption). RPKI is just crypto nerds trying to math their way in to a human and financial problem.

Until routing vendors start shipping sane IRR based route filtering in default configs and make it hard to turn off, this is something we have to deal with.

I imagine the SHTF moment is not just one thing, but several very unfortunate happenings at the same time. Think power and water outages, people rioting in the streets and looting stores, police unable to contain them without being demonized by the media so they just don't do their job, adversaries from other countries seeing the chaos as their time to act with whatever they've got sitting around in store for us, bad actors trying to inflame the situation further, etc. If only one of these things were happening at one time, we could deal with it. But if everything falls apart at the same time, civilization goes out the window. I assume.
Cool! So far I've been reading the spec and looking at the output of wat2wasm.
I didn't look to see how much of Facebook's ranges got hijacked. Assuming some got hijacked and others didn't (which is usually what happened), they could direct more traffic to ranges that weren't hijacked (assuming their DNS ranges didn't get hijacked). For the ranges where the hijacking wasn't at the /24 level, Facebook also has plenty of staff who could adjust to advertise more specific routes. All the big internet companies with ASNs should have that though; but the smaller places that probably got hijacked too may not.

Disclosure: I used to work at WhatsApp, including while it was part of Facebook. Everything in this message is armchair routing policy though.

Pretty cool, although legally gray content distribution sites like Libgen, TPB, KAT, etc. are often or often better thought of as a collection of mirrors where any mirror (including the main site, if there is one) could be unavailable at any given time.

Hospitals do seem to graciously accept donations, even opened (half-used) boxes of masks. You can just drive up and hand them off. Second-tier healthcare facilities, such as elder care centers and rural clinics, are also desperate for PPE right now.

We just drove up to the UCSF hospital and dropped off a couple hundred pounds of supplies. No fuss:

https://www.rinse.com/blog/rinse/covid-19-medical-supply-dri...

Here's an example organization with a long list of facilities accepting donated supplies:

https://www.donateppe.org/

I'm sure it's harder to convince the terribly inefficient US health care bureaucracy to pay for this. I noticed our local Chinese American community, combating a worrisome rise in racism, has been active in the philanthropic distribution of masks. You might try raising funding that way, instead of through the bureaucracy.

I've also noticed a reluctance to accept the Chinese KN95 standard. People don't trust it, for better or worse. I think they would rather have homemade cloth masks, to be honest. Not sure how you can change that perception.

Best of luck in your efforts!
I'm trying to learn advanced Mandarin (while not living in PRC/Taiwan). I've bought some business Mandarin books whose content I wouldn't have sought out: international trade, shipping, etc.; I come from a tech background.

Surprisingly, logistics (and the Mandarin around it) is interesting! Going through some of the "Incoterms" now. It's fun to learn something new and a language at the same time.
Alternatively just don't use Google.

They're not calling you wrong about your experience with the product. They are listening to you say "not that bad", and taking it as completely true. Then they are saying that "not that bad" is unacceptable in a product this expensive.

Or by slight analogy: You rate a product 4 out of 5 stars. If someone that hasn't used the product insists on a different rating, they're being smug and part of the negative trove you've described. But if someone just says "4 out of 5? Not good enough when other models are 5 out of 5." there is nothing wrong with that.

> Cogent knows that Rascom shouldn't be announcing those prefixes, and refusing to route traffic to them unless there's manual verification

I run a large production BGP network. With two exceptions every provider needed a Letter of Authorization from me to send to their upstream that authorized the announcement of my IP space (the exceptions being India where they wanted to charge extra for filtering announcements, and Russia where they offered to not do filtering for an extra charge).

This "manual verification" already takes place. It just doesn't apply to large transit providers interconnecting like what happened here

It's not hard but the risk profile is not favourable for you (the upside you get vs hosting if you manage to avoid trouble is pretty small). Of course if the alternative is very cheap and unreliable hosted service, the equation may be different - by self-hosting you'll at least have visibility and control...

If you like running your own services and learning about it, it's a nice exercise.
One concern is that you can’t always trust the Wikipedia link. For example, in this edit [1] to the Equifax page, a spammer changed the link to a spam site. They’re usually fixed quickly, but it’s not guaranteed. So it’s a really neat project, but be careful about actually using it, especially for sensitive websites.

In the 70s he formed League of Automatic Music Composers, one of the first computer music network bands, along with Jim Horton, Rich Gold, Tim Perkis. They would use Kim computers and plenty of homemade code and software (and get roasted in the newspapers by the critics especially during New Music America 1981, they were mocked unmercifully, but water off a duck’s back).
