Actually I’d disagree a bit with your last sentence. Handling io interrupts in the kernel was a property of cheap machines like minicomputers that you could buy for a few hundred $k or less. You typically couldn’t afford extra channel controllers on cheap machines like that. Hence Unix’s I/O architecture was driven by the constraints of the PDP-7. Multics has a standard io controller architecture.

PCs of course had the same issue — down to the cpu controlling the speed of disk rotation! But a modern PC has an I/O system more complex than the mainframes of old, with network interfaces that do checksum processing, handling retransmission and packet reassembly etc, just DMAing the result. Disk drives, whether spinning or SSD have a simple, block interface unrelated to what the storage device is doing, etc. I think this is all as it should be, though I personally consider the Unix IO model grossly antiquated.

Tracking capital contributions as debt is the best choice (after incorporation). Pay yourself back 6% non-compounding interest and make things easy. Don't buy your own equity just to cover short-term expenses. Reach out (email in profile) if you would like to see a template.

Alternatively, refile your articles and stock purchase agreement and tie that capital to the stock purchase or initial contribution. I would still recommend founder loans instead. If you use a SAFE or other convertible debt on amazing terms, future investors may ask for the same terms.

Edit: I financed my startup (https://rumble.run) that way and paid myself back a month ago. Painless all around.

> My guess to why Google/Apple didn't introduce rough location (like US state or county) into the system was to prevent journalists from jumping onto that detail and sensationalizing it into something it isn't (Google/Apple grabbing your data). Both companies operate the most popular maps apps on the planet as well as OS level location services that phone home constantly so they are already in possession of that data.

Apple is not in possession of the location of your phone. Their mapping system is designed to keep all queries to the servers anonymous using random rotated identifiers, even going so far as to keep the server from being able to see the full route from start to end (IIRC it's broken up into at least two chunks that are requested separately, though I don't know the details).

This is about gain-of-function research that the USA stopped in 2014 for safety reasons.

Gain-of-function is adding features to viruses. A goal of her research was to add functionality to coronaviruses that could infect humans. With funding stopped in the USA, she moved to Wuhan to continue her work.

The timeline runs for years, right up to December 2019. It includes a SARS coronavirus escape in 2017 that was caused when lab workers failed to properly inactivate the virus before taking it out of the BSL-4 high-containment facility.

> In my own experience, companies and leadership that I worked for usually value impact; and over the years, what I've gathered is that the best way to make good impact to the business is to truly understand the business and domain knowledge deeply and communicate effectively, as an engineer. I'm nearing my late 30s with a young kid now and had similar thoughts as you a few years ago. It turns out ultimately what employers care about isn't the amount of hours I put in; but rather if I understand the business and domain deeply, I can correctly spend my time on the most impactful things; and can communicate these things effectively. I have hardly ever worked over hours in my past 2 years at my current company; and am still highly valued.

This is eloquently put. Resonated with me. Would you mind getting in touch offline for a short discussion and help answer some questions of mine? I will take a No as well. :)
Long only is actually a pretty terrible choice if you want a "solid" portfolio with risk hedging.

I work in "tech" and I'm substantially net short "tech" as a hedge for potential layoffs, via options. Unfortunately I can't hedge via my employer's stock directly (like most companies my employer very explicitly disallows it, plus I'd be running a high risk of an insider trade accusation; I think it's understandable and acceptable).

A better idea might be to force people's allocation way ahead of time, say any change must be pre-announced 6-12 months ahead of time. That's how responsible executives (for example Bill Gates) sell their stock - via long term stock sale programs. Once signed - has to happen, whether good news or bad news.
Interesting. Recently I've been getting emails for $55/hr work with "security clearance". I see how this kind of contracting operates; many body shops have become "minority owned" corporations. Minority = either women or color.
The risk, so to speak, is that people will be so fond of communist mode that they'll reject attempts to turn it back off. Any laws for this would be drafted in a hurry under crisis scenarios, so they would likely have many vulnerabilities that could be exploited, ones that wouldn't necessarily exist in non-crisis bills aimed at achieving the same goals.

A more concrete example:
We could pass a "communist mode" bill that makes everyone's health expenses free (covered by the federal government) during the duration of the crisis, to ensure all covid-19 victims get treated and possible cases get tested so we can trace their contacts and control the spread.
Alternately, we could introduce a national health program instead, not a crisis one. As it turns out we've had lots of prototype "medicare for all" legislation already and had debates about it.

Upsides to the crisis bill: Potentially easier to pass, because we can tell nay-sayers that it's an emergency measure. Any resistance from industry types can probably be defused in the same way - after all, hospitals are actually struggling revenue-wise right now, so having a steady flow of patients funded by the government potentially helps them.

Downsides to the crisis bill: Once people are used to it, they'll be very angry if it disappears. There will be political incentive to extend it. Industry may grow used to the federal money and get familiar with ways to raise prices and make more off the crisis system than they did before. Any actual changes will likely be uneven, on a state-to-state basis or targeting specific groups that can't fight for themselves, similar to how many US states simply opted not to take free federal money to expand programs like medicare to more residents. The duration of this crisis is unknown, so you risk setting your end date too early (and having to fight over an extension, like the debt ceiling), or setting it too late and carrying high expenses forward for a potentially disastrous program.

Also keep in mind that it being a mode means it can be turned on or off for political reasons. People on either party could definitely hold the populace hostage through that means, just like how the debt ceiling (and resulting cuts to programs and services) has been used in the past.

Not sure if it's the optimal approach, but this is pretty much exactly what we did. At the onset of the company, I made a capital contribution (beyond the small purchase amount of our founder stock) using a standard YC SAFE with no valuation cap/discount (with an MFN clause). When we later raised a friends and family round, we did so via a SAFE as well, this time with a valuation cap, and I swapped my initial SAFE for the F&F SAFE, and we basically just considered it part of that round.

The second part of your plan is unclear to me. When you issue employees options, those will generally be options to buy common stock, not preferred. And if and when you raise a priced VC round for preferred shares, all of your SAFEs will then convert to preferred shares.

J is terse in the way regex syntax is terse. Using ”Kleene_star” doesn’t make the idea clearer so we use “*” notation. J is a notation for specifying programs. Notations allow high conceptual density with very high specificity. That’s why mathematicians use notation for communicating ideas among themselves. Natural language would be longer and no more precise. J is a tool. It’s not a likely a good replacement for Cucumber and it’s probably not a good idea to cowboy J into an operational Python codebase at a typical workplace. Rivet guns for riveting, hammers for nailing.

> For performance, cobol typically requires a server round trip every time the screen changes.

Round trips aren't the problem. Waiting for IO is. CICS solves this by not waiting for IO. It dumps the screen and moves on. Then it becomes the terminal's responsibility to wake CICS up with an attention key. If a front-end application is stuck waiting for terminal input, it's written wrong.

Well, the link says 39-56 M illnesses, which means symptomatic infections (although some of them may be not diagnosed by doctor), while the 0.37% for covid-19 is just number of seroconversions (including asymptomatic infections, which are not considered illness), so not a comparable number.

With 39M-56M estimated cases, 24k-62k deaths and 330M population, you have 0.06%-0.11% fatality rate and 0.007%-0.018% mortality rate.

I think the Evans just need to be honest about what their projects are capable of. Something like a "please do not build anything that cannot be 100% dependent on packages we have written" notice seems like it would be sufficient. The major problem seems to be that they would like their ecosystem to have the features and support that many other language ecosystems do (such as a rich ecosystem of community-written software), but they are unwilling to cede control to the community in a way that seems necessary to fully support that vision.

That this friction seems to come up constantly seems like it is a failure in messaging. How much energy would the Elm core team save if they didn't have to constantly defend their designs? Then, once the language is at a sufficient maturity to accept community contribution, it could be messaged that supporting development is welcomed.

Instead, you have instances like this one [1], where a developer, misunderstanding the capabilities and goals of Elm, sinks a significant amount of effort into building something that the Elm team has no intention of enabling. Their time has been wasted, they are frustrated, and the Elm team has to once more feel like their goals have been mis-interpreted.

I think purging all non-core Elm packages from the repository, and messaging that Elm is not ready as a general replacement for front-end development tools would save everyone involved a lot of time and heartache.

Of course, the Elm team is free to do as they wish, including fighting a seemingly never-ending series of PR battles over the vision and future of their language. Indeed, this might be the best compromise - they get some amount of ecosystem without changing their vision for the tool. It just seems that there are a lot of bruised egos, and a whole heck of a lot of wasted time because of it.

False equivocation. Remdesivir has been actively going through the drug approval process. P2 results for remdesivir indicate that side effects include liver issues. Contrast that with chloroquine which is nowhere near as studied (in context of covid) and is significantly more dangerous. There's a reason why the WHO put remdesivir as the most promising drug.
You could translate this to a non-CUDA GPU, such as a mobile GPU, but even that would require a bit of effort to be able to condense it such that is wasn't a total lag fest.

Historical examples would lead one to think people might not be very fond of communist mode and eager to get out of it. Perhaps having a system that was designed to flip from capitalist to communist and back again could alleviate the harsh realities of either system.

Communism when times are bad (because perhaps central planning is needed to weather a storm) and capitalism when times are good so as to maximize the capturing of opportunities.
