This misunderstanding gets a lot of people upset. Printing money creates inflationary pressure, yes, but there are a lot of _deflationary_ pressures right now, so if they get it right, things will balance. It also creates moral hazard, though (despite what many people believe) the fed is only buying bonds that were investment grade until just before the fed starting intervening in the system — it will also be buying junk bonds etfs (probably hyg and jnk), but these are better described as high-yield corporate bonds. This more serves to protect the liquidity of ongoing concerns ability to raise debt (necessary for the economic machine to keep running) than it does to put money in the pocket of greedy people (it will — at best — maintain the value of those bonds, and more likely soften the blow.)

Disclaimer: recently sold my JNK holdings after fed’s announcement today.

Prediction: we will end up with full Japanification and/or MMT.

The effects of communicating uncertainty on public trust in facts and numbers
$17 grand for an outdoor office shed and the power cord is a $31 add-on? This has got to be a joke.
NYU's Tandon School Engineering is doing the same with edX (since it is part of the organization), but students won't earn credits.
And then Google hired Dave Abrahams from Apple to work on S4TF.
This feels right in terms how I experience things when I've had bad migraines and notice parts of my capability going away temporarily such as understanding speech or being able to read words or missing visual areas entirely. Things get jumbled or confused, all the while, I am aware of these things happening yet unable to control them. It feels like there are separate parts of me like modules that go offline but the one that is constant is the sense of "me" or the consciousness part. These episodes are few and far between but I am still thankful to have a different perspective of our bio-mechanical nature. It also makes me feel closer to my pets in the sense that awareness or consciousness doesn't correlate with cognitive ability or intellect but that is just my guess.
Agreed. I took Model Thinking years back, and it's probably the course that I most enjoyed (as in: just for it's own sake). I had no idea there was now also a book.
Is that included in the price? I was under the impression that this was going to be assembled somewhere else, then drop-shipped. From their site:

"After the units are built in the factory, they are fork lifted into a truck and driven to your property address. Once the truck arrives, a forklift will take the unit out of the truck and place it in place on your property."

This does not sound to me like they are doing anything beyond just building and finishing a box, and the price is fairly absurd for that.
I really want to think of something to use this for now, it's really good!
I'm happy you liked combining the filters, I'm always pleasantly surprised what I discover when I use them. Currently we process and tag all of the artworks as part of our curation.

> If it's fairness you want, telling companies to hire locally isn't going to cut it. That's the opposite of fairness, really—you would be subsidizing local workers whose wages are already higher at the expense of foreign labor that has more need for the income.

It sounds to me like you're saying that it is unfair to strangers that you would help out your family first before helping them.

Most countries do subsidize local workers and industry. Should it be another way?

The United States actually does heavily subsidize foreigners for the benefit of the rich and powerful, at the expense of its citizens. Most work visa programs are an example of this.

This is the problem with the globalist mindset. Chinese workers are ultimately working for China. Chinese companies are always inclined to help Chinese people and the Chinese government. So telling domestic firms to be neutral in national loyalty is essentially telling them to be loyal to China.

A government not pressuring firms to hire and buy locally is deeply unfair to the point where I would argue it is a dereliction of their duty to the people.

What happens if liquidity still isn't there? Can't see people being comfortable with life as normal at 30% unemployment. Seems like leisure industry will be non existent for at least the next year and that will have further consequences.

Navigational guides and models only help in charted territory.
The science-based answer is that it depends on the frequency and effect on human tissue.

So mounting a telco transmitter on your roof is probably bad for you, similar to being inside a microwave oven.

Holding it pressed against your ear while talking is also probably bad for you depending on duration, but mfgs. do tests at various distances from your ear.

If you're a real estate agent using your mobile phone all day, I'd use an earpiece and put the phone on your desk away from your body.
Given everything going on right now, I'd take the lower offer and then work to get it up once you are there (it will take more time this way as you'll have to prove yourself etc). Of course, nothing stops you from continuing the other interviews just cause you took the FB offer now (just beware of relo costs or signon bonus repayment if you have either). But unless you have savings enough too last you the next 90-120 days, I'd take the offer. And if you get a better offer at Google but really like FB and you want to play that card at that point you could, I personally wouldn't advise it, but people do it all the time.

Of course, if you are unemployed but financially stable and can wait 3-6 months then you can hold out for the highest TC and see what happens. But unemployed without a lot of savings, take the job now.

Good luck!
> Defacto standards" are meaningless.

No they arent. A mismatch between what is expected and doesnt happen, within a specific context contributes to cognitive load. "Intuitive" is a soft term with a basis in reality. The only language (Quorum) that has made an effort to do analyses was largely ignored. Usability in languages exist, with or without the numbers you wish for. Swift is less uable than many some languages and more than others.
Social distancing just flattens the curve. Lockdown lifting necessarily implies a second wave unless Suppression is applied.

Have you honestly not heard of R? Which had more mainstream data science mindshare than python as recently as 5 years ago?
In Linux, if you are in userspace or are merged into the kernel tree, they won't break you. Otherwise, you can write your code but kernel upgrades can break your code.

In Elm, it's the same but only a select few can get merged in. The rest get told to rewrite into "userspace" (pure Elm) and find their posts deleted or locked and are accused of being "hostile to Elm's goals". Oh, and you have to patch the kernel before it will load your modules, as it downloads from an official website and checks the Publisher field.

>Where is the proof that a thought requires a subject?

I'm not sure what you're asking. If the thought is self-referential, then the subject is inherent in the self-reference of the thought, namely the thought itself. I am not assuming some kind of conscious subjectivity here. Merely that the content of the thought is instantiated in the case of self-reference. If this were not the case, then the thought could not self-reference.

>has a technical meaning for the debate between materialists and antimaterialists

I'm familiar with the usual suspects in this debate (e.g. Dennett, Frankish), and I don't find their usage of illusion particularly "technical". They use it to mean that phenomenal consciousness doesn't exist or isn't real. But its this very usage that I take issue with.
>At the end of January, it was obvious that it's a severely infectious disease.

Which I'm sure is why it took the WHO until March 11th to declare it a Pandemic. This entire timeline reads like a corporate CYA exercise. Which tracks, since it was created yesterday.
Yes, that is part of the definition of a hostile takeover:

"hostile takeover n. An acquisition of a firm despite resistance by the target firm's management and board of directors"

it's an appropriate label considering the founder was openly against it and had to leave the country

From the armchair--I think China is rather hard to govern, and if you study its dynastic history, most existential challenges tended to come from popular revolts from within. Also, the Republic of China's Nationalist Party-led government isn't much older and was no saint for most of their existence. After being ousted to Taiwan in 1949, they kept martial law on the island for almost 4 decades, and famously imprisoned over a hundred thousand perceived enemies of the party, executing thousands during the White Terror. Political and democratic reforms that did emerge in the late 80's were not guaranteed. In a way the same pressures emerged concurrently in the mainland and we know how that turned out.

Edit: The "CCP is China" issue is a great point, and I wish that the distinction between government, nationality, culture, and race could be made a lot clearer (speaking as an American living in the US who is ethnically Chinese). What's personally distressing is how easily the media and politicians here leap from 'China lies and steals,' which is a debatable topic from a political science perspective at least, to 'The Chinese (people) lie and steal,' which is a subjective take on motives. Not sure if that's what you were talking about but wanted to get that out there...

Have you jumped into a large old codebase with no access to its previous authors or maintainers? The idea that selling for parts a company is going to lead to a similarly healthy company filling the niche under new management is... extreme.

We do need creative destruction and to prevent moral hazards.

We also need to prevent mass unemployment and chaos. Nationalizing and re-privatizing can do this, but not as efficiently as just giving 0 interest loans to patch over a temporary “pause” in the flow of money.

> I don't understand what you mean when you say it will increase crime though.

Suppose you're a criminal organization or a foreign government. You break into AT&T or Amazon or whomever and get access to a bunch of data streams. If they're all E2EE, you have a bunch of inscrutable ciphertext. If they're not, you have everybody's passwords, trade secrets, credit card numbers, information useful for blackmail etc. Lack of strong encryption enables crime -- that's why honest people use strong encryption.
A AOT compiler (almost all C++ compilers are AOT) can't do speculative devirtualization based on dynamic runtime feedback. (PGO is one-shot.) That's what the OP meant.

> I think that comes under excusing abuse by saying it's inevitable that someone will do it.

Sorry, a former user talking respectfully about the shortcomings of your software project is not "abuse."

However, I do agree with the general thrust Of your comment that it was unwise for Luke to continue to use Elm. For all the reasons he outlines in his post, there are many similarly situated developers who would also do well to avoid it. Luke's post is a public service to let people know that the situation in the Elm project is not very healthy if your needs don't match exactly those envisioned by the core maintainer group.
Surviving Uncertainty
Not all deception, just mostly... For every one of these examples, there's tens, probably thousands, of people who stayed on at a "promising" startup. They drank the juice and swallowed the lies, only to find out their equity was worth nothing or close to it. The truth is they would've been better off at the megacorp, investing their spare change into the public markets.
Dart has gotten better, but agreed that the overall developer experience with TypeScript is far ahead - especially with vscode.
Why shouldn't negative reviews get priority? I'm not simply playing devils advocate but genuinely curious. If I go to a restaurant and there are 100 reviews that break essentially as 80 good, 10 mediocre, and 10 "there are rats in the kitchen" then dont all of them have SOMETHING useful for me? And an average star rating system blends that utility? Positive reviews are dishonest as often as negative reviews I would guess. And negative reviews are as honest as often as positive reviews as well I would guess.
The balance sheet can be unwound simply by waiting for the bonds to expire, then the money goes poof out of existence the same way it poofed into existence.

How would that work? The money's been created and has been put into the economy. Balances on bank accounts have increased. You can't just take it back just like that.
Haven't you heard? Sony's Playstation and Nintendo's Switch use FreeBSD, which somehow is good - especially for the consumers buying those products.

I'm so worried about what lockdown is doing to my mental state that I'm taking better care of myself than ever, and actually coming out ahead.

Running three days a week is now a delightful excuse to get outside, rather than a chore.

Strength training with bodyweight and exercise bands at requires less activation energy / admits fewer excuses than going to the gym.

Cooking at home is now the only real option, instead of something I just feel guilty about not doing.

Accidentally working 24x7 is such a real threat that I'm deliberately ending my day, switching to the other side of the kitchen table, and working on my own stuff. Usually I would get home and still be in a half on / half off state, surfing Reddit and work email at the same time.

I do find that media about the pandemic delivers a lot of anxiety and little signal. I'm keeping it down to a quick glance over NYT for anything urgent, and otherwise just bite-sized chunks of The Economist daily at breakfast, plus an episode of This Week In Virology on the weekends. It seems like a decent balance.

Since they have not yet extended an offer to you, it would be foolish to drop out of any other interview processes you are currently involved in.

And even when you have the offer on the table, since you already started the process, I would probably follow through with them in any case.

You are in a much better position if you have competing offers. This is what allows you to negotiate, and leave the company quickly if you don't like it.
> It's a fact that they are regressive.

It is not. You use a non gradiated tariff as a bad assumption. Good luck with whatever.
I agree that it is still unsolved, from a practical perspective. I think both sides (the MD vs. ensemble sampling) have incorporated techniques that the other side uses to improve sampling efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, I suspect that the sampling methodology only works with some form of structured guidance, whether it be MD or embedding (a la AlphaFold, which has a few former DESRES people working on it). The raw Monte Carlo methods that people use for 'embarrassing' parallelism often have terrible scaling — the spectral gaps of the Markov chains are abysmal and you only realize that after 1000s of core-hours.

On the other hand, DESRES had been focusing on a lot of acceleration methods that involved hardware optimized HMC-esque methodologies that had reasonably good parallelism. AFAICT the only public description of this work is in the appendices of this paper [0].

At the end of the day, you probably need both techniques because the pure sampling approaches lose fine structure (e.g. binding pockets opening up with anomalous frequency due to water clusters) whereas the standalone MD model has too long of a decorrelation time to get averages to converge.

This could be a real game changer. I think it might be part of the drive into AR

Instagram and snapchat have ways to launch interactive experiences from a code and I’ve always thought Apple are missing a trick there.

One of the biggest hurdles getting clients to make apps now is “no one downloads apps anymore” so this could make a huge difference and make more frivolous interactive experience work in apps again.

I hope this happens soon.

Calling it an illusion is not interesting. We define consciousness and subjective experience to match the very experience we understand.

There is literally no way for it to be an illusion, the definition itself precludes it. No matter how consciousness and subjective experience are implemented in the hardware of our brains, it is still a concept that we use to describe the experience, and the experience is real no matter what.
I will fully acknowledge my ignorance on swift, but how robust is the matrix operations/scientific packages? As someone who does DL research, I simply cannot imagine a programming environment where I don't have access to a lot of scientific matrix operations.

Some of my more clever DL approaches have used lots of complex windowing of data, and would be pretty stumped on how to implement these same preprocessing steps without numpy/scipy/skimage.
I wonder if a keyboard app could do it, since they sit between the user input and the chat app.

Ask HN: Has any progress been made on large format E-ink displays?
Context upfront: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13771203

I'd really like to have a decent (let's say >13") display to hang on a wall in my room and display weather, my todo list, etc. It doesn't necessarily have to be E-ink proper, but I like the idea of having something that doesn't emit its own light. More like an electronic whiteboard.

Alternatives include something like the Vestaboard, which is not cheap, and probably fairly noisy.

Are there products I'm missing here?

Ask HN: Tech stack recommendations for online ordering at a small grocery store?
If you had to quickly build a website to help a small, local grocery store accept orders online, what tech stack would you use?

For safety, the store is closed to walk-in customers and is the only grocery store on the island. All local residents have been asked to email their shopping list to the store so that staff can pick the items and hand them to customers outside.

However, there's no structure in the emails, no insight into what products the store even sells, no online billing, nothing. It's just an unstructured email that gets printed upon receipt and handed to a "shopper". It works, but I feel like some small changes could really help the staff.

As a desktop app developer, it's been awhile since my days of Ruby on Rails, so I'm curious what tech stack recommendations the HN community can offer to build something super lightweight to help a store like this. Something as simple as Google Forms + Google Spreadsheets would be a great start, but are there other services I'm not aware of?

Consider the following:

* Should be web based, not a native app.
* Should run on free services.
* Should not involve managing any servers or instances.
* Usage would be around "dozens of orders per day".
* Being able to create user accounts would be nice, so people can re-order, but it's not essential.
* Payment info is probably not needed at this time. (Lots of customers still use store accounts.)
* Ideally extensible to be able to add product photos down the road. (But not connected to any invenstory system.)
* A significant number of customers are seniors.

Thank you.

(This is just volunteer work. I'd build then a desktop macOS app, but that's not going to help too many local residents.)
