Of course. That’s why depreciation and MACRS exists. The point is it’s not a $1500 sunk cost. You get a multi year deduction and an asset in return. How you handle that asset is up to you.
Can't we just use SVG instead of all this JavaScript crap?
I haven’t seen much analysis of the possibility that most of the rapid job losses are in areas of the economy that just don’t matter much for aggregated productivity or economic health. Essentially, we really had ~10% “unproductive employment” or “discretionary employment” all along, and the virus just highlighted what was already there.

Taking that group of previously employed people out of the labor market just doesn’t have a big side-effect. The spending they otherwise would have engaged in had they kept getting paychecks would is just not a significant amount of spending except in a few cases here or there, it’s not systemic, just a downward adjustment. Lots and lots of small shops, restaurants, pet groomers, or freelancers might not get jobs back, and things become a bit inconvenient for everyone else but life moves on, the general backbone of the economy is pretty much unchanged. Just about the same volume of food & staples, energy, rent, repairs, education, and entertainment will be purchased as before, set back by ~6 months of lost revenue.

Obviously for the actual people laid off, it’s a disaster and they personally deserve economic help to sustain to find new work and have medical care throughout.

But the experience of this group of people isn’t the experience of the overall economy.

I have no idea if this is even remotely correct or what, but just feel like nobody is playing devil’s advocate and analyzing the economy this way just to investigate.

What if it’s just true that there’s a pretty large layer of the workforce and employers that could disappear overnight and the economic response from everyone else is just that it’s sad but fine? We’d love the luxury of lots of coffee shops, start-ups, self-employed fringe service gigs, but at a moment’s notice you can take all that away and it’s fine. Those weren’t ever really real jobs, just floating “good times” jobs already not factored in much to stock market speculation or core economic growth and productivity.

Always the warm and fuzzies when the CFR talks like this
The selling point is that you don't need plugins at all. Rome is the entire toolchain in one tool. For example, you don't need to add Babel because Rome handles transpilation.

The question is - will Rome perform as well as all the tools it intends to replace. Can it be a better Babel than Babel is? (There's a good chance it could since the creator of Rome is the creator of Babel)
This is going to get worse, and for other professions not generally getting news coverage.

A close relative of mine for the USPS. Mail volume has dropped dramatically, yet they are desperate for employees to work overtime.

It's because so many are using their vacation/sick time or otherwise not coming in, and I don't blame them. Some are going through cancer treatment, have diabetes, or other complications which put them at risk.

Some in the distribution center have contracted COVID-19, and at least one (but maybe more) has already died.

There are a lot of people endangering their life coming in to work, and not just grocery stores and hospitals.
Logic means two things: “Reasoned thinking” and “a strict set of rules for proving things”

When someone wants to disagree, it’s easy to just sub out the definitions and say something isn’t logical because it doesn’t follow formal methods.

Believing what someone says because they’re well-respected about a topic isn’t strict, but it’s really useful.

Why wouldn't it work with suspend? NixOS works because it's brutally up-front about its declarativeness. Since you have to specify everything in your config that's not what the default gives you, you'll have your own changes in your config file (or files).

It's great because it separates /etc into vendor-provided defaults and your own customizations. It's not so great because it's not that automatic, you need to script it.

In any case, thanks for your efforts.
It was a 5-4 vote along part lines, and this summary is not accurate. Read the ruling itself, particularly the dissent.
Calling it a privilege implies someone is capable of giving that privilege (and thus is also capable of taking it away). Free speech is a natural right, and has nothing to do with privilege, even if not every country recognizes this. This terminology is an extremely important distinction when it comes to defining the powers of government. It's not that the government is giving us the privilege of free speech: the government literally cannot limit our natural freedoms except in the manners described in the constitution where it has been authorized (by the people).

> placing ethical and moral value on speech

Ethics and morals are totally arbitrary, and are the last thing I want governing free speech. All we can do is let people exercise their free speech (or not), and decide whether or not to listen, etc. After all, it's only protection from the government, not from private businesses or individuals' reactions. The courts can decide if it falls under non-protected classes of speech like hate speech, etc.

Solution: make the C++ compiler harder to use!
You have it backwards. You make it sound like we want people to take risks, and therefore we make it profitable.

Risk is a limiting factor on chasing profit. The risk isn't the other side of a coin with profit. There are lots of different limiting factors on chasing profit; more supply may simply be unavailable, there may be barriers to entry, natural monopolies, regulation, etc. Risk (capital and human time) is one among many.

They define "population" as the number of bears living in that area. That could easily quadruple if bears move there from surrounding areas, which is to be expected if humans are out of the equation.

This is no different from the human population of cities - it goes up or down not just due to births and deaths, but also due to individuals moving in or out.
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's (or should be) "as easy to change", but making compilers that allow for modification is not novel or unusual: Clang lets you load optimizer plugins written in C++, for example; Rust lets you write macros in Rust itself that give you access to the token stream, and Lisps, of course, are homoiconic.

I thought mail volume was dramatically up because everyone’s ordering online?

Oh, you think they took a 4 lbs Martian weight and erroneously divided by 2.2 to get kg? The 'assumption' that kilograms mean mass is a fact, not just personal preference, though I can see how a journalist might miss the distinction and make the error if they only had pounds and their editor said "all units must be reported in metric and imperial".

Regarding compilers, resolving this would be like checking that a size_t result (guaranteed to be unsigned) was greater than zero.

Sure, it's nice when writers make clear their basic assumptions if they expect their readers to have little knowledge of the subject. We're in the unique position of expecting a writer to have little knowledge, expecting them to be self-aware of that, and expecting them to recognize there's a potential distinction to be drawn between Earth weight, Mars weight, and mass.
The types of reactors in this article may work out economically, and for the health of the world, having more carbon free options would be fantastic. However I'm extremely skeptical on this actually working out in practice; only time will tell!

As for naval reactors in particular, that's the first analysis that I have ever seen that puts them at such a low cost, so that's very valuable info, thank! Most of the time people say that nuclear reactors are far more expensive than civilian reactors, but I've never seen numbers out to it. (I'm not a nuclear expert, but try to listen to as many as I can, and naval reactors are most often referred to as super expensive). The other challenges with the naval design is that it uses highly enriched uranium which is 1) extremely expensive, and 2) not likely to ever be in civilian hands. I think that the highly enriched fuel also shifts some of the cost from construction to fuel costs, in that the higher energy density has benefits. Also, I think that the cooling system could potentially be far cheaper for these systems, as they are sitting in coolant, and don't need to worry about overheating local ecosystems. The high cost of modernizing the cooling system for Diablo Canyon is what stopped its owner from pursuing a license extension.
They’re not asking again but asking for the first time is what is disruptive because it forces you to close whatever application is requesting permissions. It’s sucks when WebEx does it but at least that only makes you close WebEx. Still a really poor design choice but not nearly as disruptive as browser-based tools that make you close your browser.

It's perfectly valid to call that a compiler.
> Sure, you can tax carbon, especially passenger automobiles... but you will cause a much larger recession than Coronavirus as people suddenly can't afford to go to work anymore.

What you do is give the proceeds of the carbon tax back to the populace, as Canada is doing. There may be some hardship, but it should mostly work out—on the whole, the rich create more carbon than the poor, so wealth will be redistributed to the more vulnerable.

That last quality is also likely why conservatives don't like these plans, but until they provide an alternative I don't see what else to do. ("Do nothing because climate change doesn't exist" is not an alternative.)
I was sort of thinking of these engineers as co-founders. But maybe it would be better just to have a single co-founder. Would you give them 50% of the company, but have that vest over time? At say 10% per year over five years?

I have spent 2 years of my life with Swift and I would say that I have a very well informed aversion to the language.

Some ideas in the language or parts of its core concepts are really good. First class optionals and sum types, keyword arguments, etc., I liked all of those.

Unfortunately, by and large, Swift is lipstick put on a pig.
I have never used any other language that regularly gave me type errors that were WRONG. Nowhere else have I seen the error message "expression is too complex to be type-checked", especially when all you do is concatenating a bunch of strings. No other mainstream language has such shoddy Linux support (it has an official binary that works on Ubuntu... but not even a .deb package; parts of Foundation are unimplemented on Linux, others behave differently than on macOS; the installation breaks system paths, making it effectively impossible to install Python afterwards[1]). Not to mention, Swift claims to be memory-safe but this all flies out of the window once you're in a multithreaded environment (for example, lazy variables are not threadsafe).

In addition, I regularly visited the Swift forums. The community is totally deluded and instead of facing the real problems of the language (and the tooling), it continues to bikeshed minor syntactic "improvements" (if they even are improvements) just so the codes reads "more beautifully", for whatever that is supposed to mean.

But the worst thing is how the community, including your post, thinks Swift (and Apple) is this godsend, the language to end all language wars, and that everyone will eventually adopt it en masse. Even if Swift were a good language, that would be ridiculous. There was even a thread on that forum called "crowdfunding world domination". It has since become awfully quiet...

Why do I get the feeling that you could programmatically name all these colors in some trivial way? Then you wouldn't end up with 30x "Blue" in your dataset.

Let's imagine we take the dominant byte of each color only. That's 4096 different color combinations. The lower byte makes up another 4096 color variations to each of those dominant colors. Just name 4096 "Color" words, like "Blue", "Aquamarine" etc. Then 4096 "useless adjectives" like "Mindful" and "Exotic".

And viola:
Exotic Blue - 0x0xFx | xAx3x5
Mindful Blue - 0x0xFx | x5x5x5
etc.

8000 words is something a single person could do by themselves, and it would generate all 16.7 million colors. You could even have some intuitive understanding. "Aha, Mindful Blue is a little bit grayer than just 'Blue'." This isn't even the most useful schema you could come up with...

Realistically, it's foolish to even do this in the RGB colorspace. Humans are not going to notice the difference between #000000 and #000001. Colors should be organized in a way that's useful. Hierarchical color naming at least gets you partway there.

The first things that jump out are the large and uneven gaps between words and the “color” variations among paragraphs. What I mean by the “word-processing layout strategy” is the algorithm where, when you run out of space on a line, you simply break the line at the end of the previous word, fill up the space (for justified text) by expanding the spaces between words, and begin the next line. When you get to the end of the paragraph you go on to the next one. The TeX layout engine, in contrast, makes several passes over each paragraph, adjusting the line breaking (including hyphenation) in order to optimize its appearance (which includes such things as trying to avoid successive hyphenated lines); then, when the page is set, it goes over the entire page to try to equalize the density, or color, among paragraphs.
I think the outbreak in NYC is somewhat cultural. There are asian cities far more dense than NYC, and have much better control of the outbreak. They also have cultural norms that include wearing masks and gloves and more hand washing after using public facilities, and fewer handshakes and touching in general.

So to sum up the article:

1. The shutdown has put a lot of people out of work and closed many businesses permanently. 73% of Americans have experienced at least some loss in income as a result.

2. Most government aid is too little too late to prevent 1.

3. World economies were stagnating before the corona virus started, even in the developing world. Now consumers are going to get even more fiscally conservative, possibly exacerbating the stagnation.

4. Unprecedented levels of national debt kicks a much larger can down the road, and we have no idea what that means.

5. A long, halting recovery is more likely than a sharp V-shaped recovery.

Yes all of that is a problem. Will it result in systemic changes to how we do things? To a point. Is it going to have killed the global economy 10 years from now? I doubt it. The only lasting difference might be a cultural surge in individual savings and drop in discretionary spending, but perhaps a more secure, slower growing economy is a good thing. It certainly wouldn't be the end of the world.

Sure I'll take a shot at being a modeler -

You take temp readings from various wildlife zones around the world, and calculate how many less bears you see for each degree increase in temperature. Then extrapolate that to humans by a simple equation designed to compare bear survivability to humans.

Obviously the models need to be able to understand how temp readings equate to survivability. Population counts from various sites would obviously fit that need
I agree it remains to be seen how the crisis will evolve, but I think the article makes a good case for why this crisis is different: the speed, the scale, and the fact that even before the crisis, since 2008, markets were being propped up by central banks.

> And what's wrong with lowering fatality rate whatever your competitors are doing?

It's not actually clear that Tesla lowers the fatality rate. Tesla's driver assist features only work on highways, and highway miles are some of the safest. But the data you get compares assisted teslas on highways to average drivers on all roads. And it's not clear that Tesla is categorically better than competitor's driver assist technology (https://qz.com/1414132/teslas-first-accident-report-claims-i...).

So nothing you've claimed is strongly supported by evidence, and given that these are safety claims that you're parroting from tesla, I'm going to reiterate: Tesla's claims of improved safety and marketing are dangerous since they aren't true.

> It's weird that I have to point out second time I _didn't say they have autonomy_.

Right, but Tesla does, they call their driver assist "Autopilot".
High false negatives due to low viral load in samples would be problematic for diagnosis and treatment (except there is no specific treatment) but for
public health purpose it is just as important to test for infectiousness. Imagine if we have a quick and easy way to self test saliva with high false negative rate due to viral load in the saliva, we can feel more confident about not infecting others through talking even if we can't be sure we are disease free.
