It is a valid usecase of html to be used to splash a layer of paint on top of your business model in a situation where you’re too busy to think in a mode where the concept of ”system correctness” makes any sense. It’s not a system in this context at all, it’s my flyer in a trade show so don’t you dare come being all pedantic on me :)! (Sure, CMS manages the markup usually nowadays. In the nineties html was used as the actual user facing layer though.)

Of course, we can discuss whether that culture of busýness was ever actually constructive, but that’s a discussion for another day.

I would actually recommend reading Steve Jobs biography. I know it seems weird but the guy launched products that changed the world. I think seeing how his brain worked with products could help a lot.

I believe a big problem for getting a good product roadmap is very fundamental... we don't truly believe on the products we are working on or in the company we are working for. Is just a bunch of people with no real vision trying to influence one another over ego.

And then you have Sales of course who can actually talk smooth and influence better those who aren't sure about why they do what they do...

fraserharris (1) is about bigger vision. That's what I think makes a good product road map. A vision, extreme focus and caring about it.
You've said a couple of times that some people are more likely to get covid-19, but this is incorrect.

Some people are more likely to have severe symptoms or be hospitalised or die, but we think anyone can catch it and spread it.
It seems like you could cause some real confusion if you lived near one of these cameras by putting a screen in your window that cycled through random plates. Especially if you run your own ALPR on the street and only use plates that have passed by before.
If they didn’t do stuff like this then the only purpose of these efforts would be to make your cat pics 0.1% more monetizable for Mark Zuckerberg. It’s the application to historical photos like this that is perhaps the most important result of this work.
It’s very close to “almost no testing ability” if you want to routinely test people who don’t have symptoms so that people can actually leave their homes sometime before a vaccine.
Back in the early 80s, IBM was at the top. They had solid systems and excellent documentation.

They even invented the PC.

But they fumbled and lost the PC and then were pretty much eclipsed by it.
My threat model is “if the site gets hacked and the user list gets leaked, who benefits and who is harmed? Certainly not the anonymous operators of the site. I only want for the users what the operators want for themselves.”

I do agree with your remediations by the way. It’s not any one thing that makes me suspicious. It’s the subject matter itself. TLAs will MITM and send you a 0day just to find a specific user if they are known to use a site so it’s more of a concern of visiting single purpose sites or niche sites in general as they don’t benefit nearly so much from your signal remaining hidden in the noise of otherwise innocuous traffic to a benign url such as archive.org or youtube.com.

Now that I mention it, it seems that the only indexer blocked by thoughtmaybe.com’s robots.txt is the one for archive.org. Why that may be is curious but I don’t know how common blocking that specific crawler is so I won’t speculate as to the reasons why.

I don't think that people care about how it is actually done, we are all in an in-demand sector. People care about the hypocrisy of companies saying, we only hire the smartest! We don't discriminate!

One thing is not clear: with that extension can you manage your cluster or do you need to use one of the cloud solutions?
Counter points, based on experience:

1. Yes, if you have an application that works this way you will have to manage your deployment to compensate. But you can use configuration as feature flags to keep a monolith but when you deploy it to X servers you enable one feature set and to Y servers you enable another. So you get the benefits of developing in a monolith but the isolation of microservices.

2. See #1, but also use proper error handling. It's been a while since I've seen a single request take down the whole app.
Well at 60%-70% infected you also reach the million dead figure.

Priority changes, expanding scope and switching work from one project to the other all have a cost. Too much of this and you don’t get anything done: you’re just treading water. It doesn’t matter if you or customers drive your roadmap and it’s changes (though you would want to have a prioritisation framework to decide based on what business metrics you prioritise projects).

The first thing you should do is create stability within an ever changing business environment and also capture the cost of the priority churn. So create a roadmap, and have a process to capture priority changes, and how much WIP work is wasted (=not shipped, as it’s deprioritized) as a result.

There’s a bunch of tools and methodologies you can use for this. Sprints, scrum, OKRs etc.

As an engineering manager in a similarly fast-moving environment, the two main rules I follow are:
1. We don’t do any work that does not have impact defined: what happens or what we expect to happen when this project is shipped. This is usually in some numeric value. And we always work on the best impact/effort project next.
2. The team _always_ finishes what we start and we do small enough work items/milestones that enable us to iterate quickly.

Good luck!

I've been looking for something like this for the past couple of weeks, so I'm super excited to try it.

Another thing I think would be great would be shared virtual backgrounds depending on where on the map you are. My team has tried to hack this together manually (standups taking place with everyone having a background photo of our abandoned office space,etc) but an automated zoom plugin or similar would be great.
Yes, Hart Island is being sold as "mass graves". Plus this right here clown (of "come to celebrate the Chinese new year, in spite of coronavirus" fame) said the other day there'd be _temporary burials_ in city parks: https://twitter.com/MarkLevineNYC?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ct...

My point is, as bad as the situation on the ground is in NY, the single digit percentage uptick in the overall number of deaths would most definitely not overwhelm anything at all, and given the dis-use of the emergency hospital capacity and reduced hospital and ICU admissions over the past few days, crowding in the hospitals seems like a load balancing problem to me.

And if anything, I would not be surprised if the official figures _overstate_ the death toll. Dr. Birx mentioned in the presser the other day that everyone who died _with_ C19 is counted as a C19 fatality, even if they did not die _of_ C19. Died of cancer but also have C19? You'll be counted as a C19 fatality.
Exactly this , vaccination is a long term solution, right now we just need to turn a deadly disease into a manageable one.

I was not referring to anything like that, but to the fact that a different amount of different viruses is required to cause an infection. E.g. in this paper it is estimated that influenza A (in aerosol form) requires around 2000-3000 viruses to infect: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/av/2014/859090/#conclusions. On the other hand Noro-viruses can infect a person in much smaller quantities (don't bother finding a reference but you'll find it quickly). All I'm saying that it's unlikely that we know such numbers at this point for SARS-CoV-2 so in the paper you linked they must have used some other definition for an 'infectous dose' than what you'd intuitively think.

Edit: Now that I actually read the paper that OP posted, it seems that they're estimating the half-life of SARS-CoV-2. It really depends on the initial amount of viruses how long it takes to go below some fixed 'non-infectious limit'. So numbers such as '3 hours' quoted in the paper are pretty much meaningless in practical situations where the inital amount of viruses might be much different. It's not that they're trying to emulate a cough or something.

So it's killing men at twice the rate of women.

Wonder if it's because women have been selected for better immune system as their body has to also protect the offspring and men's system only has to protect himself.

Maybe immune response of a pregnant woman is same as immune response of a man?

little known fact - COBOL is very efficent - in terms of errors.

I recall it won an award for the most error messages from the fewest number of lines of code.

I think a program with a period in column 6 run through the IBM Cobol compiler would generate either 200 or 600 lines of error messages.

Here is the official description & link to the course:

“Open Source COBOL Training – a brand new open source course designed to teach COBOL to beginners and refresh experienced professionals. IBM worked with clients and an institute of higher education to develop an in-depth COBOL Programming with VSCode course that will be available next week on the public domain at no charge to anyone. This curriculum will be made into a self-service video course with hands-on labs and tutorials available via Coursera and other learning platforms next month. The course will be available on IBM’s own training platform free of charge.”

Indeed but my point was I can’t see the common carrier defence lasting much longer. The argument made some sense when communications on these things were a 1 to 1 relationship (you ring someone, they answer) but when communicating on these platforms have become a 1 to many (YouTube, Twitter, etc) they started to become a lot more like broadcasters than a raw telephone pipe. What’s more, telecoms companies haven’t been beyond government oversight and censorship demands either.

What muddies the water even further is that some platforms even pay contributors, albeit for ad impressions rather than directly, but again it makes the distinction more subjective than it appears at first glance.

Eventually there will come a point where the people outside the tech community will deem the responsibility of moderation greater than the the need for an open platform. I’m not sure which side of the fence I sit on but I do agree that the government mandating moderation has the dangerous side effect of raising the barrier for entry too high for any new players to challenge existing networks.
Enabling javascript means exposing myself to:

And dropping those lines of config is opening vulnerabilities on your system. In 2020, that's insane.
Since they generate the keys anyways, why not just make a new one every 30 seconds? This would address the main concern IMO.

> which is significantly better than what came before

It's a bit better. That's the point I'm making; it's just incremental improvement on existing process. Read the actual paper, eg. under 'Quantitative comparison'.

If you think I'm belittling the effort I'm sorry, that's not my intention; ...but, for example, the other comments talking about using it to generate a full 3d model to display on a looking glass surface, or in VR displays a total lack of understanding of what has been achieved here.

I'm truly shocked by the comments I'm seeing here. When did so many people forget everything we've learned about security? You know what a zero-day attack is right? You know how fast those can cover the whole internet these days right? So why would you purposely leave a gaping security hole in your system to get some performance on a CPU that's probably too fast for your realistic workload already?

Many of the issues moxie brings up either don't apply universally or are unrelated to the part this specification touches upon.

Maybe it helps to bring up a non US perspective here: in Germany, like many other European countries, this becomes a non-issue. We have central authorities that can greenlight a positive test result or invalidate wrong results, immediately making the prank argument completely hypothetical. The question as to why this should be centralised is easy, because it already is. I'd honestly expect the reporting chain in the US not being to dissimilar from this, at least at the state level.

It's also important to note that all of this only supplements the existing, regularly manual, workflow of contact tracing. A very laborious and error prone task, especially in regions with a large number of infections. These techniques take a massive load off of a certain part of the health system that is notoriously underdeveloped because it's not really needed in this quantity in normal times.

The sales team is more important than 'vision' 9 times out of 10.

In consumer, where the customer may not really know what they want, and can be convinced, it's more about vision and how that aligns with smart marketing.

With B2B the sales teams are it. Customers may also not know exactly what they want, but some discussion there will suss it out.

Note Apple was always pretty terrible in B2B, you wonder why?

I feel like there's some sort of disconnect here.

I'm aware that politically incorrect remarks are often about privileged people being unconscionably rude and that such remarks are typically not uncomfortable for the speaker.

I'm trying to make a distinction between being appropriately concerned with respecting the feelings of other people and situations where it's actively problematic in terms of clear communication to try too hard to be delicate about a topic. There are situations where that actively fosters misunderstanding, having nothing at all to do with the fact that privileged people are frequently oblivious to how hurtful their words are for other demographics.

My source delicately frames this problem as "causing harm to some patients." Most people would not frame a dramatically higher death rate as "causing harm to the patient." That framing implies survival.

I think it's appropriate in this case to baldly state that we are talking about people dying, not people suffering moderately more. I've explained why.

I created an app that allows you to do that.

You create a book in the app by taking pictures. Add audio to a page.

You can export the book in a .zip file, that you can put on your desktop and view in your browser.

To be honest, de sharing experience sucks (ever tried getting a big .zip file from a mobile phone to a desktop..?), also the browser view doesn't have the flipping pages.

It's a pet project I've often neglected for a couple of years, and then put some extra effort in. But I'm now working on the online part, where you can upload the zip file, and share the book via an URL, and does have the flipping pages.

Would love to get feedback, so if someone wants to try it out, contact me and I can create account for you.

Would be great to make a commercial product out of it, but I used to not have the tech skills, and now pretty much have the skills, but finding the time is the challenge. Also I refuse to add ads :)
