> Clearly the assumptions behind the "With Intervention" plot do not match reality TODAY, let alone in a few weeks.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with the way people are talking about this whole thing still being out of control, when data shows the situation is even better than the most optimistic models were predicting. And by that I mean, pretend I was on HN 3 weeks ago predicting 25K deaths in the USA by today. I’d have been downvoted into oblivion and told I was delusional. But here we are.

Clearly NYC was hit far harder than the rest of the country, but it seems like every state and municipality is simply basing their models on NYC case numbers scaled by population. I don’t get it.
Thanks for the response. Is there anyway to query the public datasets y'all have? Is their a decent tutorial for how to best do this?

It is so incredibly common in the investment world to mistake extreme luck for skill and cling to flawed methodologies as if they were gospel because they worked once by chance.

Your typical investment "strategies" are hardly better than someone bringing his lucky shoes to a gambling den.

You could make an argument about drone jamming and autonomous behaviour not being quite there yet... I think that's what the "wingmen" are for.

The paradigm we're moving out of was one where you'd get high-quality sensor data from a specialized patrol or AWACS plane like an E-3, which would send information to ground, which would relay it to the fighters. Now, platforms like the F-35 often have better sensors than patrol planes do; and despite still having a person inside, are better at evading missiles than big patrol planes are. So it's more like the fighters take on the role of the patrol planes; the human inside decides what to do, probably assimilating information from other fighters; and sends the drones out to do acrobatics. And there's no need to run that information through a ground station first.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Buffett got all that much money from his family. Probably the best part of his upbringing was early exposure to stocks at a time they were not popular, and having school expenses paid. Lucky, but not like he was handed $1 million, which seems to be what you're implying.

He made his early money repairing and selling pinball machines at a profit, and running a massive paper route operation. He started around age 11 or so.

>you're going to die homeless next month

Help me understand how someone could believe something along these lines for more-or-less their entire life. The fact is that poor people live long lives of many decades; they observe others around them just like them living many decades. There's nothing close to a rational reason to discount the future that hard.

How does one end up believing that every month is their last when it clearly isn't? I know people who are persistently poor act like they believe it, but I didn't think they literally consciously thought it was true.
You should. I've been hashing out my ideas in writing lately and it has been helping me a lot.

> I read your code and it seems to me very clear that INT_MIN is exactly what the programmer intended.

Well, I'm the author and that's not what I intended.

I used INT_MAX as the initial value because it was a simple example. Imagine a case where the value happens to be equal to INT_MAX, and then you add 1 to it.

The fact that no result other than INT_MIN makes sense doesn't imply that INT_MIN does make sense. Saturation (having INT_MAX + 1 yield INT_MAX) or reporting an error seem equally sensible. We don't know which behavior is "correct" without knowing anything about the problem domain and what the program is supposed to do.

A likely scenario is that the programmer didn't intend the computation to overflow at all, but the program encountered input that the programmer hadn't anticipated.

INT_MAX + 1 commonly yields INT_MIN because typical hardware happens to work that way. It's not particularly meaningful in mathematical terms.

As for "natural properties", it violates "n + 1 > n". C integers are not, and cannot be, mathematical integers (unless you can restrict values to the range they support).

I asked Dan Abramov (a lead React developer) the same question and he said yes, indeed this is exactly what facebook do - they progressively added more and more small react components to their HTML pages.

In React you can also use "portals" to render to multiple HTML elements on an HTML page so you can do it both ways - one React app represented in multiple places in the DOM or you can just create many small React apps and plop them in multiple places on your page.
> I don't know anything about the devices in question,

Since, by your own admission, you nothing about the details here, maybe it would be prudent to dig into the details and to not spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) just because you’ve been bitten while working on circuits where “nearly identical“ components often aren’t.

It’s fair to point out for medical equipment, how critical it is that the proper QA be done, to prevent severe injury and possibly death, but the ad-homonym name calling is unnecessary. In fact, there’s a shelter-in-place order in effect in many places, so engineering is being forced to happen in the open, in non-traditional places, including basements.

Like you said, it will have to certified that it’s up to the standards of the FDA before being used in a hospital by a medical professional, so I’m not sure I even see where you’re coming from. We’re not drinking aquarium cleaner here.

> all points in the direction of genetic causation when it comes to cognitive traits

To be precise, some evidence points in the direction that some variation in cognitive traits is “heritable”.

It is obvious to everyone that there are substantial effects on cognitive traits due to malnutrition, disease, exposure to toxins, physical violence, persistent emotional trauma, and so on, as well as a substantial amount of variation that we currently don’t have explanations for (not to mention significant experimental noise and epistomological questions about the design and interpretation of the experiments). It is at least plausible that large-scale differences in the treatment of boys vs. girls could have effects on cognitive traits.

For example it was long thought by some people that there were inherent differences between boys’ vs. girls’ mathematical aptitude, as judged by scores on various standardized tests, but in some countries with more equal social/educational environments those differences in scores entirely disappear.

> I recommend reading the Jensen’s 1998 book

It should be mentioned that Jensen’s work has been highly controversial and has kicked off a lively debate. Some of the biggest promoters of Jensen’s work have been quite unsavory characters.

English isn't even ASCII anyway.

Some loanwords like façade or café retain their accents.

Units like ° £ € and symbols like © ® × ÷ ½ aren't ASCII.

It doesn't take much to need one of these cases in a project.
But human language doesn't stop being "much much more challenging" if you decide not to engage.

Sometimes (and this can even be an admirable choice) in some specialist applications it's acceptable to decide you won't embrace the complexity of human language. But in a lot of places where that's fine we already did this with the decimal digits such as in telephone numbers, or UPC/EAN product codes, so we don't need ASCII.

In most other places insisting upon ASCII is just an annoying limitation, it's annoying not being able to write your sister's name in the name of the JPEG file, regardless of whether her name is 林鳳嬌 or Jenny Smith, and it jumps out at you if the product you're using is OK with Jenny Smith but not 林鳳嬌.

You might think well, OK, but there weren't problems in ASCII. The complexity is Unicode's fault. Think about Sarah O'Connor? That apostrophe will often break people's software without any help from Unicode.

In my experience from developing Backtest (https://backtest.curvo.eu), a backtesting tool for EU index investors, the hardest part has been finding good and reliable data that goes as far back in time as possible.

I only focus on index data so it's a bit easier but it's still hard. Lots of scraping, downloading and parsing CSVs, Excel sheets, some puppeteer magic...

Some sources that I use:

- MSCI data (https://www.msci.com/end-of-day-data-search)

- Financial Times website (e.g. https://markets.ft.com/data/indices/tearsheet/summary?s=SP5M...)

- Investing.com (e.g. https://www.investing.com/indices/us-spx-500)

- STOXX

- DAX

- FTSE for FTSE stock indexes (https://research.ftserussell.com/analytics/indexviewer/chart...)

- Yieldbook.com for FTSE bond indxes
(https://www.yieldbook.com/m/home/index.shtml)
- ICE website for ICE bond indexes

- ...

I'm constantly adding new indexes and sources (see https://backtest.curvo.eu/updates) but it's tough!

Some examples of what Backtest does:

- MSCI World: https://backtest.curvo.eu/portfolio/NoIgsgygwgkgBAdQPYCcA2AT...

Another alternative that used to be popular in many American cities are coops. Instead of buying property you buy shares in a corporation which give you the right to occupy a unit. The large, low-rise apartment complex on Geary Blvd across the street from Japantown is a coop.

Regarding the effect of 99-year property leases on home prices, there's a condominium tower at 946 Stockton St/950 Washington St in Chinatown that has a 99-year ground lease (expiring in 2069, I believe).

Units in both developments regularly sell for a fraction (~ 1/3 to 1/2, IIRC) of comparable units in the area. You'd have to know the details of the shareholder rights (coop) or accession rights[1] (ground lease) to know how the prices compare to freeholds or rentals, but it shows how alternatives aren't new, just merely coming back into fashion.

[1] That is, whether ownership of the tower transfers to the landlord without any renumeration for the improvement; whether the condominium owners have a renewal option, etc.

Yeah, that's a good point. That's my mistake in spitballing, but the vulnerability wouldn't exist in an implementation that properly checked the domain.

Again, I 100% agree with you that it's fragile and not a good idea. I wouldn't design a system this way, and I would flag it if I reviewed an app that did this. I was just objecting to the idea that the discovery of any plaintext HTTP request is a bounty-worthy vulnerability.
The biggest advantage wealth affords that it allows you to fail, and then get up to try again, because you haven't lost your basic life security (a roof over your head, good food, education, community, healthcare when you're sick or injured).

You get the freedom to experiment without fear of dire consequences, whether that's by building a paper route, repairing pinball machines, or expanding your family's business partnership to buy a textile mill called Berkshire.

If, however, you are child who has to work to put food on the family table, or pay the rent, you're playing a whole different game, one that has life and death implications.

Of course Buffett isn't unique in having the advantage of a financially stable and prosperous family and household. Clearly his entrepreneurial streak started early. But compared to the average person of his time, he did have extraordinary advantages, including a university education, and exposure to investing from an early age through is father's brokerage firm. His experience is not directly comparable to that of most Americans.

My best friend's mom came down with pneumonia two weeks ago, she had all the same symptoms of a COVID patient, but when two separate tests came back negative, the approach to getting her back home and with her family was dramatically different than it would have been to assume she tested positive and begin quarantining off her entire family who did not have true exposure.

You are thinking from a technical perspective. You will always need a guy in the cockpit that can refuse an order. Not the same thing if it's a room of drone pilots, a drone pilot will just get fired and replaced on the spot.

Imagine being given an order to kill a terrorist, but you notice the place he is at is actually a wedding. A fighter pilot has final authority on the strike, he can make decisions about collateral damage. Beyond that, if a fighter pilot engaged an enemy aircraft he coule be starting a war,you can't make the same quality of observation about the enemy pilots,their intent and threat.

Humans make different decisions if they are detached from the scene. I agree the piloting and targeting should be mostly automated away but final decison should be done by someone at the scene risking their own lives

isascii() is not defined by ISO C. (It is defined by POSIX, but POSIX says it may be removed in a future version.)

I see that POSIX explicitly says that isascii(x) is "defined on all integer values" (it should have said "all int values").

Personally I'd rather cast to unsigned char.
