Thanks for playing along, these are some of the same issues I could think of.

I'm thinking of still having private property, just one per person/family as a dwelling, instead of allowing property as investment. You can only own your dwelling: so you couldn't own a house and rent it out while traveling in an RV.

But maybe in this new world, it just makes more sense for the government to own it all and lease it out like social housing. You would pay for a length of lease (1-year, 10 years, 30 years or more depending on how you value stability) and then pay the monthly rent.

My original thought experiment was more steady state: imagine if society had developed along those lines, how would it looked different. Adopting it from our current situation would require a transition. You'd have x years to convert to the new system, and current landlords would need to sell their portfolio. The state might be the buyer of last resort, at a low price similar to a short sale.

For people who are mobile, moving around every few months or years and renters in our current system, the idea of buying and selling property every time seems daunting, so the process would have to be much easier. I think prices would be cheaper due to increased supply, and maybe there ends up being a pool of easy-swappable properties, like rentals now (less fancy, less custom, sparsely furnished, etc.). You also have to cover the case of the move, where you essentially need both properties at the same time.

It would also impact cohabitation and marriage customs, because 2 people could have 2 properties, but married couples only one. But the idea isn't that you could somehow still have a property to rent out, it's that owning and renting out a dwelling is forbidden. There is some process of declaring your dwelling (could be an RV for example), and not being able to own property that is someone else's dwelling (I suppose commercial real-estate is still fair game). Maybe speculation on empty land (dwellings-to-be) becomes rampant as the capital is re-allocated.

In the end though, there's the problem of capital: even small apartments or homes cost more than people's annual income, so it either takes years to get your first dwelling, and where do you live in the meantime. It just seems the economy needs a way to pay for fractional dwelling use, so it's cheaper for those without capital (people who haven't accumulated it yet and people who "choose" not to accumulate). Still a fun what-if scenario, and I still wonder if there is a stable and viable solution.
I used it at work, 3+ times a day for about a year. It worked well most of the time, but it had interesting ways to fail when it didn't like the connection quality. the MacOS app sometimes decided to stop connecting to any meeting. It got so bad at times that I had to force quit the app after every single meeting, because it didn't listen to regular closing.

It got so bad we added a bluejeans on fire emoji on slack to announce our problems. That said, I've not used it for a year, so some of those issues might be fixed: Software doesn't sit still.
Maybe a little OT but any word of a FIPS 140 implementation of this protocol? Would make the adoption of this in an enterprise environment possible.
“The performance of a 512-node Anton machine is over 17,000 nanoseconds of simulated time per day for a protein-water system consisting of 23,558 atoms.[5] In comparison, MD codes running on general-purpose parallel computers with hundreds or thousands of processor cores achieve simulation rates of up to a few hundred nanoseconds per day on the same chemical system.”

17,000 ns of simulation per day sounds crazy small but I wonder how that compares to the timescale of molecular interactions. How helpful have Antons been to pharma research etc?
how are they worse off?
A friend took me to a place in Beijing that does these with tofu, sesame oil, and soy sauce. It was delicious. Kind of nutty and cheesy, if I remember correctly. If you like strong/complex flavors, you might like these.

Based on that experience, I found a place in San Diego that did them when I lived there. The egg was somewhere between uninteresting and bad. So I guess it really depends on who makes them and how they're prepared.
Because the IHME model is based on taking China's data at 100% face value and applying it to the US. It over-predicts in the short term and under-predicts in the medium to long term. They keep revising the overall number down to line up with an epidemic peak in 3-4 days in the US, which is ridiculous.
Taking your post at face value, I would say we know it’s twice as infectious due to more testing and/or better data. So we know that more people have been infected.

We didn’t discover a bunch of dead people that were infected. So the denominator increased relative to the numerator.

Not stating this as fact.
I just tried it on a website that uses Cloudflare and that always asks me to solve a captcha. (I guess this website does this if the user has a foreign IP address.) In the past I managed to get the non-script Recaptcha. But I don't see a non-script Hcaptcha. I'm a little afraid of possible browser fingerprinting scripts. If there was an unwaivable, enforced right to privacy I wouldn't be afraid.

Also, I don't want to solve any script captchas anymore because of a traumatic experience with script Recaptcha. I had a portable Chromium with login cookies for a few websites. I didn't use that Chromium for other websites than these few. Suddenly, one service almost always demanded a new login after just 1 day. On each login I had to solve a script Recaptcha. I didn't find a way to get non-script Recaptcha. According to the service evil spambots had attacked it. Once, Recaptcha let me solve captchas for minutes, just to eventually tell me I was a bot. I had an IP of a large internet provider. I deleted cookies, got a VPN IP, tried it again, worked on the captchas in the exact same way as before and managed to log in to my account. A website operator wrote in a forum thread that Recaptcha was the only solution to the bot problem. One user suggested "email login as an optional alternative". This was not implemented, because apparently Recaptcha was really specifically the only solution. I then switched to another service, which cost me a few hours of work. This traumatic experience has made me completely unwilling to solve any script captcha.
Another issue at the time was scaling wave. I remember there being issues as threads grew in size.
I think you're missing a few key points:

1) "Success was measured by metrics like Impressions" - advertisers need to get smarter and link advertising to bottom line results. If you can't tie ad spend to improvement in sales, then why are you spending money?

2) "The entire market is wasteful and exists without proper market forces" - the entire point of programmatic advertising is each impression is sold in an auction, so it can be a very efficient way to buy advertising. The problem is when there are too many middle men between the advertiser and the audience taking a cut, this is why "supply path optimization" is becoming a big thing in the industry by helping you answer "how can I get to my audience with the fewest people in the middle?"

3)TV and traditional media wasn't necessarily the most efficient way to advertise, the "spray and pray" approach. Advertisers and TV networks are beginning to realize this, that's why a more and more of the ads you're watching on TV are actually placed there via programmatic advertising and the percentage is only rising.
yes, this is why measles vaccination rates must be nearly total. measles has an R_0 somewhere beteween 14 and 18 (!!!)
It's actually not the same everywhere, and not even Taleb considers this a 'black swan' but a white swan, because people have been warning everyone about pandemics just about the last twenty years. And there's a black swan now every ten years anyway.

In parts of Europe the employment situation is significantly less bad, in particular in countries with proper corporatist structures. In Germany unemployment went up by 250k. The US has seen 10 million unemployment claims already, mind you per capita that's worse by a factor of ten.

And yes I would consider this an abrogation of responsibility by Danish and Canadian employers. It doesn't matter though because Denmark has a few million people in it and the government can basically jump in every time anyway.

The fact aside that the US lacks this sort of generosity for many reasons, what the gig economy has produced is a permanent precariat and tech companies without obligations. You have an army of semi-employed service workers who get wrecked by every crisis, be it a mortage crisis or a virus because there is no security in such a society.

You don't need to pray for a potiticized safety net if you have employers and companies that take care of their workers and invest into their long term human capital and don't lay them off during the crisis, that is you have organisational capacity, something the American labour market lacks completely. It's everyone for themselves as soon as the alarm bells go off.

This is far-future thinking. Nobody has demonstrated a viable drone delivery service except in remote areas for emergency purposes. As a general delivery option in urban or suburban zones, there are tons of problems and as yet no practical scalable solutions.
Being highly infectious is one thing but a virus’s deadliness is another. Something can have a really high infectiousness rate but not be very deadly, like common cold. The infectiousness they are citing her is the infectiousness that exists under normal conditions. So if you social distance, you can lower the infectiousness. Projected death rates are going down because distancing is working and we are lowering the virus’s infectiousness.
The article reads like a bad hit job it tries to paint facebooks position as bleak while ignore all its products have continued to experience amazing growth.

It paints a picture of what the author want the world to be like rather than reality. One of the biggest examples is how they view regulation as a risk to Facebook while Facebooks views it as a guarantee of market dominance.
The top OP has zero sources and then says "fuck all those citation [sic]."

OP above you is merely revealing this non-reliability.

Top OP might be correct but zero sources makes me immediately question every single argument. Dude can't be bothered to name ONE SOURCE! One! A paper. A Person. An organization....anything. Nope! Nada. Zilch.
Also, it seems that people with low severity symptoms don't build up a lot of antibodies, so they're not sufficiently immune. So out of that 10%, only some count towards the herd.

I still strongly disagree. Few of these hand written CUDA kernels outside of the frameworks are about implementing derivative rules, they're about eliminating the CUDA call overheads or avoiding the layered computational / memory inefficiencies that existing ML compilers have trouble handling.

Next to none of the frameworks are yet able to JIT you a performant RNN, yet RNNs only use very standard components[1]. OpenAI had a massive speed and memory usage boost for attention by implementing what amounts to a few standard primitives together[2].

There are massive gaps in the optimizations that existing ML compilers provide. The landscape is starting to get better but it's still filled with many pitholes.

> because that means it's less fatal than we thought

Don't we already have solid numbers on the fatality rate because of the Diamond Princess? A change in estimated R0 wouldn't affect that.
You can be pseudonymous on almost all of them. For the ones that "require" real names, your name just has to look real.
Italy's a bit of an outlier due to both average age and how they count covid deaths. If we look at Germany instead, we get 3.6K deaths by car (in 2016) vs 1.8K deaths from covid. There are all kinds of different assumptions about unconfirmed cases etc, but even in the most optimistic scenarios, it's roughly the same order of magnitude either way.
Is it not common for companies to control what apps are installed on corporate computers, and where company data is stored (cloud providers, etc)? I get the whole Zoom backlash, but this is taking a specific instance of company and app and harvesting clicks.
Just alt-tabbed in from writing runescape bots to HN and wanted to say that's still the case (for the client I use). The code is pretty complicated now but still functions much like you say. Mouse position is tracked, then any input which repositions the mouse accelerates at a "reasonable rate" and with a randomized curvature to get "close enough" before it self-corrects and gets a pixel-perfect click.

A few years ago the client stopped sending mouse data back to Jagex altogether. Luckily, I don't think there's many poor developers tasked with trying to recover any signal out of that anymore. :)
>Are you asserting that all those people are incapable of determining what is best for them?

If you give somebody a choice between working a little bit and not having a job at all, most people will take the little bit of work they're offered. The "people continue to take these jobs" argument is only valid if there's an abundance of other jobs available, which there is not.

Whether or not a job is underpaid is not determined by whether or not somebody is willing to do it for that amount of money. If people aren't being paid a living wage, they're being underpaid, and their wages will have to be subsidized by social assistance programs if their basic needs are going to be met.
>Yeah, I love lighting my water on fire and fracking earthquakes

The taste reminded me of clay and the alkalinity made my throat somewhat uncomfortable. Not in a painful way, but like I swallowed some powdered soap. Dry, yet slippery.

Not the worst thing I've eaten, but I've definitely never jumped at the chance to eat them again. Although my problem could've been eating them plain while it seems most people add some sauce or seasoning.

For my current project, it is handled by GraphQL. Using a combination of type-graphql and code generation, I have fully round trip static types on both client and server, by only defining my model once. Even my graphql queries are checked.

It is a bit of a pain to setup, but once it is done, I've found that it works pretty well.

Work Less, Get More Done (2009)
Diamond princess is a non-stochastic sample, with all its attendant biases.
Here's an early estimate graphed by the NY Times at the end of February (scroll down a bit):

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/world/asia/china-co...

R0 estimated to be 2 - 4. Fatality rate: 0.1 - 3%.

This was the first information I saw that helped me understand why this was more than just a bad flu. Still didn't truly understand it at that point, at least the way I do now that we're experiencing the consequences of failing to contain it.
E.g., from the article: "Dr Feigl-Ding explains that R0 is the “R reproductive number at time 0 before countermeasures”. He points out that this is not the R(effective) at current time under mitigation measures such as distancing and testing, tracing and quarantine, which are expected to slash chains of transmission."

If I recall correctly, the last time I checked Google's support for Mozilla was in the hundreds of millions per year. I would be shocked if DDG could afford even 10% of that, even as an investment they expected to recoup through additional advertising revenue.
> We don't really talk about employees receiving car insurance benefits, or food benefits, or housing benefits.

I don't know why we don't talk about them, but it's not because they don't exist. These benefits aren't even really uncommon.

They're just more frequently called: 'company cars', 'employee meals', and 'corporate housing'.
And fracking lives solely on government subsidies and will receive even more subsidies after this crisis. Without subsidies, fracking's gone and coal's back up. I fail to see how your comment responds to OP's suggestion of divesting subsidies to support renewables instead.
> but isn't well designed for more complex operations like handling large arrays of data, or writing custom code.

Even though they support writing Python and/or Javascript code in zaps? How is Paragon better at supporting writing custom code?
It is essentially correct that the discussion on typing occurs at the least nuanced level of discourse. I've been at fault doing this myself. The distinction between different sorts of type systems and the relative conservation of the different analyses required to produce well typed programs is rarely brought up. I have a general saying that you shouldn't listen to people unless they can explain a point of view in terms of its tradeoffs. Very few real problems have absolutist solutions. I'm currently working my way through Types and Programming Languages and hope to one day present a more technical and thought out explanations of the tradeoffs present amongst untyped and the various levels of typed systems.
You seem to be conflating the two different, incompatible meanings of "digital signatures" here.

This article is about digital signatures as in digital pictures of a signature. There's some support of them in, for example, some PDF tools. These do not have a legal status in EU.

And there are "digital signatures" as in cryptographic digital verification of documents using private/public key cryptography. This is the type of digital signatures for which EU has a legal status, and in many countries a support for verifying identity - for example, I can cryptographically sign documents using the chip on my gov't ID card, and if I receive such a document, then I can securely verify the identity of the signer without needing any preexisting relationship with them. But this has nothing to do with the pictures of signatures that this article is talking about, that seems to be more like a USA thing.
I like to make large batches of frittata in muffin pans, seal in vacuum bags and freeze. Defrost and nuke as needed. It's less flexible than just eggs, but a great low carb treat. They don't last long around here.

Suddenly "egg bites" are a thing in supermarkets and Starbucks. These are a homemade version without the need for an expensive vacuum chamber.
Is this good or bad news? I assume good for the environment, right? Or creating the alternative sources would generate more CO2?
What we really need now to level is to make individual health insurance effectively a pre-income-tax item like it is when you get it via employment.
Oh, it's probably bad news for the coal plant owners.
Sure, but Zoom isn't anywhere near the source of marignal risk on that.
> But I can tell you how a country gets out of police state.

The point is to not get into a police state in the first state. You get into police state by being compliant and being manipulated by fear. Slowly but surely, they take all your rights and condition you to slavishly obey.

> and saying "I don't know them, but they are my brothers. If you want to shoot them, you will have to shoot me first."

That's most definitely not how police states end. Police states would shoot you or take you away and make you disappear. Maybe you weren't in a police state to begin with?

> In other words, if your "police state behavior" is telling people to go home during an ongoing pandemic, it belongs to "not even wrong" category.

See, you are completely missing the point. But then again, it might be because you were raised in a police state and have been conditioned to be obedient and subservient. It's hard to shake off a lifetime of bondage.

> But when residents of a major city (SF) have to avoid used needles on the street, it seems pretty clear to me that there aren't enough police to serve these people.

It has nothing to do with police pay. It has to do with laws/rights. Are you seriously contending that SF of all places is underfunding their cops?

Also, SF drug problem is a societal problem not a police problem. But once again, those controlled by fear always to look the police to fix all their problems and hence you end up with a police state. Ultimately, people's mindset are to blame for police states. People naively and foolishly allow police states.
Fining Google doesn't help the problem there, you would want to work with Google to find out who made the deceptive ad and deal with them so they can't continue on to hurt more people
