I'm not sure the total scope or worth really of the program in Los Angeles, but there are requirements just to apply (1), and slots at the highest scoring schools appear pretty limited (2).

It's also not an automatic thing, so a parent will have to be informed about the program and have the time to fill out the paperwork, and these schools are also at specific location, so if you live far away you might not be able to get there without difficulty and stress.

All of this puts filters on who gets to go, rather than just making space for everyone who shows interest in certain areas and puts forth effort. It also removes successful students from local schools, the proportion of academically inclined peers goes down, the proportion of bad influences goes up, and the entire school system suffers as a consequence. Ideally these programs should exist in house, expanded or contracted to fit the number of kids scoring >x% on whatever measure.

Every other language and framework as in Java, C#, everything Apple, and most popular C++ UI frameworks.

Ruby is actually the odd one out with its "string is bytes + encoding" approach; and that mostly because its author is Japanese - Japan is not all sold on Unicode for some legitimate reasons. This approach also has some interesting consequences - e.g. it's possible for string concatenation to fail, because there's no unified representation for both operands.

Decisionmakers probably consider the question of whether healthy people should get Covid-19 to be a moot point. Almost all countries are trying to minimize the number of infected people as best they can, but most don't think they can minimize it all the way to 0.

Honestly, this looks very very standard. Having processed millions of $$$ through Stripe, most of this brings very welcome insight and information that prevented a significant amount of fraud, though sadly not catching all of it.

The only way for that to get better is through more tracking.

At the end of the day, many are paying for Stripe to protect them and their business, but you can build it yourself, in which case it is a capital investment for you that likely will cost you more than the % charges you have on each transaction.

If you don't want that insight, agreed that it likely could be done through a flag, but your suggestion I'd say is likely ideal.
Thank you for this wisdom and perspective.
It doesn't work, because parties offer an advantage, and you can't truly ban them without banning freedom of association. At best, you can ban overt expression of affiliation, so all candidates are nominally independent - but it'll still be obvious who's who.

As a developer you get a lot for free by developing in Firefox, most importantly if it works in Firefox the it will likely work in all other browsers as well. This is, in my experience as developer and code reviewer not the case for code written and tested exclusively on Chrome.

It does seem now like the focus on ventilators was a lethal error. (But an understandable one.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/nyregion/new-york-coronav...

> Instead of quickly sedating people who had shockingly low levels of oxygen and then putting them on mechanical ventilators, many doctors are now keeping patients conscious, having them roll over in bed, recline in chairs and continue to breathe on their own — with additional oxygen — for as long as possible.

> ...contrary to expectations, a number of doctors at New York hospitals believe intubation is helping fewer people with Covid-19 than other respiratory illnesses and that longer stays on the mechanical ventilators lead to other serious complications. The matter is far from settled.

> “Intubated patients with Covid lung disease are doing very poorly, and while this may be the disease and not the mechanical ventilation, most of us believe that intubation is to be avoided until unequivocally required,” Dr. Strayer said.

> This shift has lightened the load on nursing staffs and the rest of the hospital. “You put a tube into somebody,” Dr. Levitan said, “and the amount of work required not to kill that person goes up by a factor of 100,” creating a cascade that slows down laboratory results, X-rays and other care.
I lived in apartments that had hard time accommodating even one work space.

If you're a couple without kids living in a dense city like NYC or Chicago, you can rationally choose to live in a tiny apartment with 10-15 mins of commute for both of you, and with everything within easy reach from home. I lived like that. But if suddenly both of yo have to WFH, your optimizations backfire.

To be fair, we now live in a 2-br apartment and only have one school-age kid, and still getting three proper workplaces for all of us is not easy. Good thing I can oscillate with my laptop between my kid's desk and the kitchen table. I'd love a large monitor, and would even shell out unplanned $300-400 for it, but I have little idea where to install it.

Unlikely. Japan is fine about freedom of speech (just not arrested), unlike Germany.
Patreon's problem, I think, is that they've taken enough VC money to be at a kind of "half-unicorn" status -- and there's no possible way for them to return on that investment unless they start wooing megastars to their platform. The majority of creators are always going to be way back in the long tail, but the folks at the top of the curve need to be bringing in a lot. Like, a lot. A million a month or more.

And I can't help but suspect that this realization necessitates changing, if not the business model, the business strategy. Patreon in 2017 is fine with Chapo Trap House and Amanda Palmer as the top moneymakers; Patreon in 2020 needs the next Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. (Better yet, the current Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga.) That doesn't mean they have to actively drive out the podcasters and comics nerds and furries, but it probably means they have to put all their resources into going after whales.
Why Covid-19 Makes Some People Sicker Than Others
They weren't armed. They only had machetes, "In those early days, we didn't know anything about using guns." I grew up with tons of guns, you don't have guns and at the same time know nothing about them. Had they guns they would have used em instead of shooting fireworks at the gangsters.

Interesting. I hadn't heard about the neurological and physiological post effects. Can you shed more light on that if you can?
Wow, mass testing was done at Marion and Pickaway, and they’ve found both to be 75%+ positive. Many other prisons could be similar, the mass testing simply hasn’t been done yet!
Interesting idea. I mostly agree with limiting the amount of control flow. I generally try to avoid as many ifs as possible.

It isn't that alien of an idea in my mind as most people here in the comments seem to argue. I suppose if you used a function with only an "end" clause a function would end up mostly like how one generally writes functions in most functional languages, where a lot of functions are fully comprised of a switch/match on the input.
Maybe because the syntax is very Ruby-like you see a lot of people here expecting more object-oriented design.
I don’t know if this would meet your needs, but I recently built a gated static site for personal use using Gatsby + Firebase for Auth and Hosting. Firebase Auth took 10 minutes to set up.

The Most Famous Coworking Photo
When's the last time anyone produced a hardware platform where double-buffering required a full copy rather than just updating a pointer/register? PCs moved past that in the '90s at the latest, and I'd expect most other platforms that supported 32+ bit addressing on both the CPU and graphics processor were similarly capable of relocating the front buffer at will.
This policy is so ludicrous and morally offensive, that I would just willfully break it, and if they find out, throw a party to celebrate them firing me (for contributing to OSS projects).

Imagine you use KDE, and find a bug, and make a small PR with a patch for it. I can't even begin to fathom how a company can while being fair/just say that you're not allowed to do so (without "our approval" which could take months).

It's ridiculous beyond measure, and we should make it a goal to purposely get fired for doing OSS, and then also make sure to post about it online as much as possible so it draws a lot of attention, and hopefully results in a change in this.

After all, it's probably a piece of cake to land a new job (once the COVID crisis is over), if you have a Big N company on your resume, even if you were fired from it (not that you'd want to preemptively disclose that - unless you went public with it - which some folks might even see as a positive).

> Storing all the video isn't feasible, not is analyzing it in real time, so the only sensible threat model is targeted attacks, but the companies have no reason to do that. Governments do, but this makes the companies resistant to governments.

Analyzing the audio stream of a video call is possible in real time, in fact Google meet already does it to offer closed captioning in real time (the only good feature meet has compared to other alternatives)
Yup, when I went through school the gifted program was cancelled at around the same time as the recession and never brought back, and students would skip a year or two in math. Now trying to skip two is much, much harder.

These programs exist, but are generally separated from the ordinary high school system. For example, right here in the Bay area there's Proof School, a private school founded precisely "for kids who love math", AoPS Academy, for extracurricular challenging math classes, and powerhouse public schools like Lynbrook, where gigantic student-run clubs aimed at competitions provide exactly this kind of education.
Yes targeting fewer people easily show you better results in the online industry.
Turo is a very different model, to the point it's not a great comparison. It's more of user platform (like Uber) than an actual car service and doing reasonably well as a result. But pretty much every fleet-based service is shuttering cities - ReachNow, car2go, LimePod, Maven, etc.
The reason you are talking about growth over a 50 year span is because your basic capitalistic countries like the USA didn't get to play catch-up, because they were always riding the front edge of technological advancement.

Since the PRC's timespan was post-WWII, it's fair to compare them to the Asian tigers and Japan. It's easy to see which did better. Edit: Same goes if we're talking about "building more" rather than doing better.
I think they're useful-ish, but it's important not to get too focused on specifics.

For example I did a stint in policy and I'm reminded of how everyone insisted for a long time that "top" law schools are the "top 14" or T14 for short. This is historically the measure used since Georgetown was in DC, and the children of the elite must be "top tier" regardless of if their school ranked outside top ten on every official metric such as incoming LSATs, publications, etc :D
I'd argue you could do the same without even trying, either. AP classes aren't really significantly more difficult than a regular class; they just have more focus on content covered on the AP exam.
High performers are starting to be home schooled, more and more.

Exactly. Another thing (also illustrated by your example) is that consequences can be really nonlinear with respect to your scoring function, whatever that is. Take investing, for example - the "rational" thing to do is to mortgage everything, leverage yourself to the hilt and buy as many hot button shares as possible. This totally ignores the fact that, while you'll eventually come out on top, going bankrupt will end your game with a massive loss. Or in your case, maybe +/- 5 minutes is pretty linear but if you're 45 minutes late then you'll get fired. You'd never risk it to save 2 minutes.

Modern C++ is in a similar situation with iterators, indexing, etc. and it's still often faster for LLVM to get through.

MIR optimization can help close the gap but that still involved generating "garbage" that takes extra time to codegen (in Debug) or optimize out (in Release).

Being smarter about generating IR, whether MIR or LLVM IR, is still an area rustc has a lot of room to improve, even given Rust's idioms. E.g. stuff like this: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69715
Seems like modern day browsers are not just HTTP Client, they are close to an Operating System. But still surprised by size of LOC.

I'm not entirely sure where the above commenter gets their information from or if they're being entirely honest

You left Russia when you were 10, so you were basically a child. Then you "heard from family" something you've never actually experienced. On the other hand, I was there in Soviet Union/Russia going through all 10 grades in three different schools, and then getting my masters in engineering, while tutoring high school students in math to make some cash. Then I tutored undergrads as a TA here in US while getting my phd.

You have very little actual experience of Russian education, and zero experience of American education, and you're questioning my honesty?
Why it can't? Why do you think Govt is always corrupt? Why judge current govt based on corruption done in previous regimes?

when screen annotation off, two finger scrolling gestures don't work (though scrolling with arrow keys for example still does). Not sure if that was intentional

It would be nicer if the erase tool was a real eraser, and not just a way to clear the full screen (since turning off annotations already does that anyway
There's many instances when someone from $company shows up in one of these threads on "$company is doing something nefarious" to do damage control... and I think this is the first one that doesn't reflect poorly on the $company in question.

The reason for this is that Stripe did do something wrong, and it wasn't in the script - it was in the disclosures and communication surrounding the script. So rather than PR spin, this is actually addressing the real problem.

To all other companies (and Stripe on some other day), this one thread is the exception that proves the rule that damage control in internet comments is a bad look.
I wonder if you live in an at-will employment state (e.g. California), does it even matter if you signed something?
Jumping the gun here. Jio's founder, Ambani has his own ambitions in this space and he is highly unlikely to carry water for FB. This is akin to saying when Microsoft took a stake in Apple that they would carry water for Apple.

They are frenemies at best and outright competitors. FB gets to deploy its cash hoard into a relatively safe and perhaps lucrative investment and buy some insurance to being treated fairly on Jio's platform.

Definitely follow c) then.

I've been working from home for almost the past 6 years. My home is not huge - we managed to have an extra room for the 3 years between moving in with my now-wife and having a kid, but I was in a small 1BR before that and the kid consumes all available space (like literally all available space) after that. I don't have an external monitor, and I usually work from couch/bed/floor. My posture is terrible.

What has so far saved me from serious occupational injury is that I don't stay in one place for long - usually no longer than 5 minutes or so. I might shift positions, or stick my laptop on my lap, or start lying down, or get up and have some water. You can get away with pretty contorted working positions if you're only in them for 2-5 minutes and go do your thinking while pacing around.

Haven’t read it, just remembered seeing it linked in a blog.
I've heard it occasionally for a long time, but not much in the startup world.

It's a word you reach for when you've burned through millions of dollars and someone asks, "What do we have to show for it?" "Learnings."
Wouldn't that tend to increase reported virus deaths though? "Oh, yeah he got in a fight and then abused a warden. The next day he committed coronavirus and now he's dead."
Your employee's personal goals are not aligned with your organization's goals. "I pay you to do X" is a recipe for apathy. In other words, your employees need an exit plan (all of them) that furthers your company. Sometimes that's promotion, sometimes it's bonus and vacation, sometimes it's help moving on to another company. Communicate with your employee to discover their personal goals, and work on developing a plan that achieves both their personal goal and your organization's goal.

What does that look like? Some examples:

- Company wants to be acquired, so employee is promised X% of equity and a timetable of acquisition that aligns with the product's development. In other words, when they finish the product they know they get a chunk of money and can move on.

- Company wants to grow existing product, employee wants to grow their career, so company agrees to promote employee (to management, to another position, whatever they want) after they build the next release or reach some product milestone.

- Company wants to develop their MVP, employee likes new challenges but has no plans to be promoted. So employee is guaranteed a generous severance bonus for completing the MVP and help transitioning to a new company.

- Employee really wants to work at a gaming company, but you're a finance company. So when a product milestone is reached you help employee get a job at the gaming company and he helps company hire a replacement.

If you help every employee develop a plan to exit or advance, you'll see them happier and more productive as they feel a sense of purpose and clarity around their role at the organization. But it takes empathetic communication, an open mind, and an attitude of helping your employees.

And be proactive and patient, because you'll find most employees have not thought about their personal goals and need help developing them.
