> However, medical devices, especially for life support systems, are not a Hackathon project.

This effort they're doing really doesn't seem like they're treating it like a "Hackathon" project. They're putting real engineering resources behind it.

Whether or not they can produce something in time is still up in the air, but it seems to me Musk is attacking the problem from several different angles and hoping something works: he's purchased off the shelf BIPAP equipment and donated it (which turns out to not be as useful as hoped), he's got engineers homegrowing what appears to be a legit ventilator that may or may not get to volume production and/or certification in time, and he's helping established ventilator manufacturers with some of their manufacturing bottlenecks.

All three of these approaches are unlikely to be fruitful, but at a time when we're desperate and looking for quick innovation, it seems strange to dismiss people with the resources to try.
Firstly you misquote me, secondly you cite a highly artifical and slightly bizarre example that if anything disproves what you are trying to prove, and thirdly I'm not really sure I see the point of quibbling with the fact that our sense of smell/taste is tightly bound with survival, which was kind of my overall point albeit poorly expressed perhaps.

Maybe they should have gone with Theia by Eclipse, or just drop the Eclipse in the name altogether.

Whether they could or not is not as important question of whether they should. What would Microsoft gain by “winning” the browser engine war or even taking a significant share? Where is the profit motive? The reason for IE original was that MS was afraid of the browser becoming the platform instead of Windows. That ship has sailed. Microsoft doesn’t really care about Windows revenue as much as Azure and Office 365.

Google cares because of advertising and Apple really could care less about browser marketshare. It just doesn’t want to be beholden to anyone else.

No I don’t think it’s accurate to say they’re built on untyped lambda calculus, any more than simply typed lambda calculus is built on utyped lambda calculus. They’re very much related, and there’s a strong sense in which they are built on each other, but the kinds of programs available and what can be proved or guaranteed are different.
One thing to try to relax is to do breathing exercises. Deep breath from the nose for 4-5 seconds, hold for a few seconds and exhale over 6-8 seconds. This will lower your pulse and reflex you.

Try to refrain from constantly reading about Covid19. I find this brings stress to me and I relapse to same problems as you. Pick a time of day, as early as possible and concentrate your reading on the topic then.

Two thirds of US hospitals are NFP (public, community, university etc) or government hospitals.

Ironically the more money they make and the bigger they are the higher prices they tend to charge because they can negotiate higher rates with the insurance providers.

The US system is simply broken the US healthcare has a huge problem with uncompensated care which is one of the primary reasons why most hospitals lose money on primary care.

This means that hospitals are “forced” to extract as much money as possible form insurers so your healthcare costs do not only incorporate the risks of all policy holders for your specific provider but also the uncompensated care costs of the hospitals.

The insurers then extract as much money as they can from their clients which primarily are business which don’t seem to care that much as they can often write of much of that cost as operating expenses.

This pretty much causes a cycle of inflation that is unsustainable under normal circumstances and will utterly brake the entire systems under extremes like the current pandemic.

Your personal solution sounds interesting. I'd be interested to know more details about it, and how it works for you. If it is how I imagine it, it could also be one of those things that could be built into a tool that could rival Wikipedia or search engines.

Based on your reply to handsomechad, you may think that it's easiest for people to just build one themselves. But there may be a business opportunity in providing a pre-packaged solution for the masses. In the same way that Dropbox provided a tool that was "trivial" to experts, but was difficult for non-experts (see the infamous comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224), if you have a tool that is essentially a rival to Google Books for reference texts, that is interesting.
I think that would be a precarious situation for Mozilla. Not to say the current situation is a good one. So I'm sure they're weighing this.

But let's assume they switch to Webkit. In itself that is a huge investment. Then either they track whatever Google wants to do with Webkit, or they fork. But once they fork, they're pretty much on their own again. So there was no gain. To profit from Google's dev, they have to track whatever Google does, and maintain patches for their own things that Google doesn't want to merge. In some important ways, they'd be dependent on Google. Their direct competitor.
I think you missed the point of the story.
I agree. Title is true but my mind read it differently, most likely my unconscious bias shining through.

It does seem odd that only 75% of Saudi residents have accessed the Internet in 2018.

I wonder if is this a result of an aged population or restricted access from an authoritative/religious regime.
I thought that Saudi Arabia was one of the wealthiest countries in the world and as such having 25% of the population not accessing the Internet seems wrong.
Phase-space model to forecast COVID-19 infection peak for U.S. states
I'm not a doctor, but each time I hear about a possible diagnostic about panic attacks, it feels like somebody tells a patient having a rhinovirus "your symptoms are explained by the runny-nose illness!". I.e. just stating the symptom (sympathetic/parasympathetic system going weird, heart too fast, etc) but phrasing it as if it was found to be the cause.
I don't see the ethical problem. I'm paid significantly less than the economic value of the labor; this is because my company does a lot of coordination work to connect my labor to clients who need it, and I'm not particularly good at that kind of work so I can't effectively do it myself.

I don't think "reliant on the whims of a couple of billionaires" is a fair characterization. In what way does the average person rely on the whims of Larry Ellison?

Why does this article use the term "Wuhan virus" when COVID-19 or Coronavirus could be used? It's possible to make the case that Sweden's no-social-distancing policy is working for them, but you can deliver that point without sounding like a Trump presser. It's dog whistling. The outbreak of violence against Asian Americans is the responsibility of every single person using this phrase.

>Every cold and flu grow exponentially.

No, that's true only if it's brand new. Immunity for a certain strain lasts several years, which means there's a level of herd immunity that constraints infection from even reaching some of the non-immune folks, hence it's hard for it to be exponential.

This is not the case with the 'novel' coronavirus. There is no large scale immunity among the population.
It all depends I suppose. The merest whiff of Cerutti 1881 takes me straight back to a particular girlfriend in the mid-90s.

> and are not speculating on an internet message board for thousands of random people to read.

I don't know about the USA, but on TV here (Italy), yes they do.

EDIT to avoid sounding too snarky: there are plenty of experts many times on TV, however the public is not aware of the unknowns and the constant challenging of ideas that usually occurs in scientific settings (and so the press).

The result is that there are often contradictory statements which confuse the general population (also the press is not helping at all), which considers "science" as "truth".
Also overlooked is that this strategy backfires on Nintendo nearly as often as it succeeds.

The Wii may have sold a lot of units, but it didn’t get _played_ as much as its contemporaries in large part due to the fact that Nintendo refused to release a high-def version, right when the world dumped all their old TVs en masse.

The Wii U nearly sunk the damn company. If the 3DS hadn't been popular, Nintendo would be where Sega is by now.

It's fine, excellent in fact, to go with tried-and-true tech, but you also need the foresight to see what's inadequate.
It doesn't even have to be a full on panic attack to raise your heart rate. I notice that when I am feeling anxious or read too much social media/news that my heart rate is elevated as a result.

When that used to happen to me I realized the reason was that I thought maybe I was making the wrong choice, no matter how carefully I had thought it out. Later I would wish I had finished the project because I understood my life would have been better if I had.

Eventually I learned to accept the possibility that my choice may be second best. It was an insidious form of perfectionism. It was better to finish a project that may not have been the “best” option than not to have done it at all.
I'm writing a movie script.

It's a horror movie about a guy who renovates foreclosed houses for banks. But one of the houses he goes into has a ghost in it. He has to solve the mystery of why the ghost is there before he can leave.

Working tagline: "This is for closure."
FWIW I've found that there is a cross section between excitement of a new project and the momentum of that project.

Most projects fizz out when the excitement wears off before the amount of work you've already done on it has enough momentum to push you to do one more task.

When I push though that motivational hurdle, I find the amount of work already done incentives to continue on with it. The next task is obvious and relatively easy, because there is something to work with.

Now, losing confidence that everything you've written is garbage and refactoring the same systems over and over again until you give up- that's the hurdle I choke on :D

The scope of Duolingo is very limited. I think it's well established that most courses get you to somewhere around A2, B1 at best, which is just enough to be a bit challenging, but not enough to make you able to expand your knowledge on your own.

Similar symptoms a few weeks ago. I've had an off-on mild fever since.

There's been something going around since Jan at least, although it's impossible to know if it's Covid-related or something else.
Possibly an allergic/asthmatic response to something in your environment. It's worth keeping tabs on whether you used any cleaners, were outside, or in a specific room of your home when the breathing issues occurred.
> I think many people are missing the point that this doesn't appear to be a finished product ready for developers to use.

It's absolutely a finished product, GitPod is the commercially available (and white-label-able) version, people are productively using this today, including using VSCode addons and writing their own.

> "Why would anyone switch to this from VSCode"

Imagine preparing a Docker image of everything reasonably needed in your dev environment, and then giving your developers one click access to be totally set up with company-standard configuration. The IDE goes from wild-west everyone working their own way, to something that can be supported, where new devs can be brought up to speed in days instead of weeks, something with real consistency.
Thank you for sharing, super cool stuff.
I worked professionally with VS doing Windows app development in C++ and I found it super powerful, especially for handling our 20 years old gigantic codebase. I don't get the hate, and I spend most of my days in Emacs nowadays (doing more research-y coding). Yes, it's huge, but it's huge because it is full of powerful tools for developers.
Usually I start projects I want to start, but I tend to finish projects because I have to finish.

The necessity/drive to finish can be internally or externally driven, but there's no mistaking it, so don't sweat what you don't finish. Take it as a signal that you've reached the limit of your interest in that pursuit.

Of course, if the issue is something more fundamental (like ADHD), none of this likely applies, and seek help from a professional.
I deal with a panic disorder and what you're describing sounds super similar to what a garden-variety panic attack is like. Especially the part about your heart rate rising but your oxygen saturation staying pretty much the same (the difference between 94-97 and 97-100 is within the normal variation during physical activity). What's likely happening is that your brain is latching onto some small thing, like laying down on your back and putting more pressure on your diaphragm. Instead of interpreting that small thing as totally normal, your brain interprets it as a "warning sign," because of your stress/anxiety around COVID, and it goes into panic mode. At this point, it's pumping out a lot of chemicals that stimulate what's called a "fight or flight" response; it's your natural response to any perceived threat, real or otherwise. Those chemicals will cause your heart rate to increase and will often cause shortness of breath. Usually these can last 45 minutes-a few hours and will subside. Deep breathing exercises work for some people, but I find that when I focus on my breathing I end up spiraling more, so I focus on grounding exercises and progressive muscle relaxation. I'd recommend trying those out next time you have a bout of that and see if it helps :)!
And why would they not just consolidate their efforts into improving VS code. I don't get it, VS Code is an awesome platform, no need to reinvent the wheel we just need more high quality extensions to improve it support for different technologies.
It's pretty fair considering Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish was the MS modus operandi for decades and may yet be.

It would be a stretch to say that’s, I did not own any Zelda games before Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 (I didn’t even like it enough to finish it), I had played some of them via rentals. I also have not played any of the Zelda series after Ocarina of Time. So, just for context I have owned consoles, handhelds, and had a PC to play games on since 1986, so it’s not like I did not play games during my childhood, but the Zelda series was never really one of them.

Well, I was there and during the first browser wars and I saw users and developers choosing IE because it was faster and had more features than Netscape. Thanks to Microsoft we got XMLHttpRequest (AJAX) and Web 2.0 (DHTML, iframes).

IE was just a better browser and that's how it gained market share - the same way Chrome did. The fact that IE was the default was secondary. If being the default was all that was needed, IE would have never lost any market share.

Having your competitor do all the work and then using it to your advantage sounds like a win to me though. Also as a user and a developer I consider it a win on multiple levels. I'm happy that every desirable target platform now has a default embeddable browser engine derived from a common high-quality WebKit heritage. I also now have a major non-Google fork of Chrome to choose from, one that I know will be there for the next decade.
Thanks!

It’s more than that. Tesla engineers themselves probably are itching to help. Check out GE’s workers getting mad that the company wasn’t helping to make ventilators. People join companies like Tesla and SpaceX because they want to be challenged, have a bias for action (of course, everything still needs to be qualified), and make the world a better place. In a global pandemic that can be helped by addressing a shortage of manufactured stuff, engineers aren’t going to want to just sit on their hands if there’s a chance their efforts could be helpful.

It’s not just corporate PR. It’s not just Elon Musk. It’s also these workers wanting to help the world.
