This sounds good, but the PPP wasn't even fully funded, running out of money before it fully satisfied demand. (and even being underfunded by individual banks, with some banks running out before others)

This will be a disaster if it passes and isn't fully funded (ie, renters getting free rent but their landlord not reimbursed through the relief fund).
Apple definitely isn't hurting right now.

But my question with piracy is always, where do you dry the line? Is pirating Photoshop okay? What about Affinity Photo? What about Omnigroup, which makes fantastic software, but also has to charge a lot of money for it, and was forced to do a round of layoffs recently?

What if the app is made by a single developer, but you don't like his or her politics? Or what if it's a single developer charging too much? How do you determine what "too much" is, and are you really able to be a fair judge, given that you have a personal financial stake in the outcome?

As a Hackintosh user, I don't have all the answers. I tell myself Hackintosh is okay because I used a real Mac to download the installer, but that's still a moral judgement I'm not able to make impartially. I do try to avoid pirating all forms of digital media, though, even when it means there are products I simply cannot use due to lack of finances.
I used to walk with class mates most of the time, I don't remember that making much of a difference if any. But of course, that's the judgment of my 6-year old self.

Asking "what is blockchain good for other than cryptocurrencies" is like asking "what is internet good for other than websites" pre-broadband

Blockchain TODAY is the backbone for a $200B financial system that lets you store or transfer billions of dollars worth of value within minutes for cents in transaction fees, completely peer-to-peer with no middle men

Scalable blockchains will generalize this same benefit to let developers add crypto into any kind of application (just like we had web-apps, we'll have crypto-apps):

– Instant global p2p payments

– Completely transparent, efficient marketplaces / clearinghouses with no switching costs

– Ability for users to own their own data and assets, removing liability for platform operators but also eliminating lock-in

– Open source, open state, serverless code that runs directly on-chain and thus can be built on with no platform risk (google "blockchain composability")

– Software that can be governed / controlled by the users that have stake in it
Thanks for pointing that out, I think I fixed it. Not well tested ;)

I'm not sure if the way that you're using yield within the if and while statements works correctly. I like the idea of replacing state transitions with method calls but you'll run into recursion depth problems with a state machine that alternates between two states.
Covid looks to me like that space stone that finished dinosauruses. Basically it just accelerated/cleared path for the trends which were already well underway (feathered flying dinosauruses, mammals, online retail, cloud, etc. in while the classic dinosauruses and retail, onpremise datacenters/applications, regular commuting to the office and assigned desk, etc. out).

The Aussie government’s dilemma is to avoid having to build their own services to fill a US tech gap. Politicians have stated they would prefer not to build their own services from the ground up.

You don't have to put anything on hold. If you're motivated, you'll start learning what you have to on your own.

To be transparent, I went to a community college for 2 years and honestly can't recommend it enough for the reasons listed by the OP. I learned a lot better in the small class setting, and a good ratio of my professors were actually good at teaching (unlike the university I ended up going to where teaching was a necessary evil for professors).
The article doesn't really make it clear exactly which ads Australia is trying to get a piece of. If Google is taking article content from publishers and combining it with ads before sending it to the user, I get why they'd want that money. If however, they're trying to get ads from Google search results, how does that make any sense at all? That's like every business in town trying to get ad revenue from the Yellow Pages.
Correct. This appeal to authority fallacy being touted has given us models like the UW-IHME model which is a complete disaster in both results and in methodology. And domestic policy is being based off these models that have two orders of magnitude (at least) of absolute error, and were outside their 95% CI over half of the time. This is unacceptable.

I suppose for plain text files, converting the encoding from extended ASCII (aka 8-bit) to regular ASCII (7-bit) is worthwhile if one really wants to pursue this type of worthwhile.

Although in retrospect you can get even higher speedups by condensing the character encoding table down to A-z and 0-9 and omitting quite a few of the ASCII characters from the lookup table.

Because the indisputable facts are ignored by Trump and his supporters.

The US had a small, dedicated team to track animal-based infectious diseases (Predict). The Trump administration cut funding for it and it was dismantled last year. This dismantling was purely for
ideological reasons.

South Korea—an extremely market driven and democratic nation—also has nationalized health care.

This means nobody has to wonder if they can afford testing because the leaders understood what was at stake. When Pence was asked this question, it was regarded as a political potshot by the journalist and dismissed out of hand. I remember this clearly, as I watched this in real-time when I was getting a haircut.

South Korea took MERsS and SARS to heart and kept its experts in place; allowing SK to assess the danger rapidly. They too had their conservative party fight tooth and nail to make their administration (liberal) look incompetent.

Meanwhile Trump supporters have insisted for months and still do. that this was mostly a liberal follow-up to a failed impeachment.

The difference between how SK coordinated and how the US did not cannot be ignored, and a key difference is that the administration in
power didn’t view their experts with suspicion as deep-state or as a money-sink for third-world-only issues.

At every step Trump has shown that he does not nominate or keep anyone due to their competence in their field.

There’s no dispute about these facts. Yet anyone who views current events with suspicion only has innuendo to back their position.

Therefore, calling out anti-journalists for what they are is well-deserved.
Misleading heading. As the article says it's not yet known if dogs can sniff out Covid-19. (Of course once that's established they could help.)

To my knowledge, the tests that are carried out in Munich use a so-called ELISA device. My vague understanding is that this tests reacts with a specific protein of SARS-Cov2 and has no known cross-reaction with other harmless corona viruses. Disadvantage of the test is probably that it is quite complex and not much capacity is available. Here in Munich, however, about 3000 households are now randomly selected and tested in order to estimate the real number of infected persons. This is the press release of the munich university.

I had researched buying a CNG car in the LA area and bringing it back to San Jose. Reliable miles per tank data was tough to come by, but it seemed like if you couldn't use PG&E stations to fill (because it requires pre-registration, and a certified inspection), you wouldn't be able to take the most direct route.

That was for a crown victoria/lincoln town car though. I don't know if the civic's get more miles per tank.
I don’t understand what this ‘scarcity’ would mean. And you give no relevant examples.
> They included in the article that we could use decentralized contact tracing instead

GACT is decentralized. The article is arguing against decentralized contact tracing.

The article doesn't even try to make that argument, which is why it is not very good.
Python is more complex than necessary or useful.

Not per se. The drop chance for consecutive packets is likely correlated, such that if you know the first one was dropped you should increase your prior that the second one will also be dropped.
You don't know how many people are currently immune. Or how immunity even works for this virus. No one does. Zika was rendered mostly harmless by herd immunity before experts even knew what happened.

IEEE only guarantees 10^-12 which is almost certainly why 1st gen 25G products released exactly when they were able to hit that. My estimate a 2m 10G DAC from 2017 would have a BER of ~10^-18 is from personal experience (As unlikely as it sounds I actually have done extensive testing 7 of the exact model server and NIC in our lab purchased about the same time, different switch though) not derived from the 400 GB transfers in the paper.

"Sure it will. There will be "smart dust" in the asphalt, etc."

Even if you want this, the best way to get the government to move is to deploy, prove customer demand/appetite. Everythings going just to plan and early statistics are showing fewer people will die with each autonomous car on the road (with zero infrastructure changes).

The killer robots are already out there, they are being driven by distracted humans killing 35000 people per year (who signed those waivers?!). This is trying to rapidly fix that problem.

"How about 30?"

Yup. Like I thought, moving goalposts. If we did 30, you'd say why not 45? So I gotta move on.
> But my question with piracy is always, where do you dry the line?

this has already been hashed out during the late 90s and early 00s in the context of media piracy: software and media are non-rivalrous goods. me pirating the good does not prevent anyone else from purchasing. it is not a loss to the developer or content creator because i was never going to purchase it in the first place.

> but that's still a moral judgement I'm not able to make impartially

there are zero moral issues implicated here. property is outside of morality.

That said there are many examples of blockchain being useful in smaller settings, e.g.:

> "Last June, 10 of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies – including Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline – announced they would pool data for an AI-based search for new antibiotics, which are urgently needed as antibiotic-resistant bacteria have proliferated across the world, threatening the growth of untreatable disease.
> That historic agreement was made possible by the development of a secure, blockchain-based system that allows an algorithm to search rival companies’ data with full traceability – but without revealing commercial secrets to competitors. The advantage of using blockchain is that companies can trust the code rather than their partners." [1]

> So you think, hey! I get to use scala.util.Random in javascript instead of javascript's shitty Math.random() ! Woah! That is so beyond awesome.

What? You can certainly use scala.util.Random from scala.js, there are very few Scala features that Scala.js does not actually support, such as blocking (because javascript) and reflection.

> Because this is the scala api that the scalajs folks expose - https://www.scala-js.org/api/scalajs-stubs/latest/#scala.pac.... . So that's fewer than 70 types.

That's not everything that's available in Scala.js, those are just some stubs for smooth cross compiling.

The business can and should set a general tone about where it wants to sit on the sloppy vs. perfectionist spectrum, but it's not competent to make those decisions at a granular level. That requires engineering sensibilities.

I cannot answer your question. Since you love Python, I guess you don't have any problem with dynamic type-checking. You also mentioned Scheme, I take that as you don't mind parentheses either. :)

If you would like to try something that's closest to Scheme and has access to the rich libraries in both the Python and Java ecosystems, give Clojure a try. You have access to the Java libraries out of the box and, with libpython-clj [1], you get access to your familiar Python libraries.

I’m going to make the classic engineer mistake and assume that it’s almost as easy to implement this myself. My understanding is that errorship does something like:

- register a global exception handler, probably tweaked to hook into framework specific exception mechanisms.

- make the exceptions “pretty”

- send the exceptions to the datadog event log.

The benefits of rolling my own is avoiding a soft dependency on errorship and that I can tweak exception aggregation and reporting. Is the primary defense that errorship only costs $10 per month or is there additional complexity I’ve missed?

Stories from people who tested positive for Covid-19
Granted this is word of mouth from several years ago amongst new grads looking for jobs in NYC and Boston, some in SF, who were looking to stay in academic centers. I would say that's the worst case scenario. (there's a huge line of aspiring NIH PI's who are willing to work for peanuts for UCSF, Mass General, etc. The NIH training grants who are supposed to compensate for "75% time" are $98k/year...so do the math for the full 100%...).

For the Medscape study, I would say it's good to see the numbers are better in the private practice world, nationwide. But - most MD's will be presumably internal medicine and you'd have to look at the breakdown. The low end jobs in primary care, public health, etc start at $200k, and most folks who aren't surgeons or ophalmologists or dermatologists are in the low-mid $200's. That's assuming you graduate from residency in your late 20's or early 30's w/ the $350-500k in debt or whatever it is these days, unless you took the National Health Services or DoD scholarships, whereupon you then owe them 4-8 years of your life...

It would be crazy for G/FB to play that kind of hardball. For Google, it would be an existential and permanent loss of business.

Imagine if you woke up and G was not available in your country?

You switch to an alternative: Bing, DDG etc..

Alternatives that many Aussies may not have really been aware of.

And now, 100% of G's user base is being 'conditioned' on competitors' products - their default behavior, the icons they click, the default search engine for browsers changing over.

And for most people - DDG/Bing is probably just as good as Google.

A month later, G comes back to Australia, how many people bother to switch back? How many people have come to 'be fine' with something else? How many people resent G?

Does the Aussie Gov, which will realize that 'search' is an essential aspect of operating ability, will even allow government workers to use a service from someone who will drop it instantly, and sign a service contract with Bing? Corporations who see it as an existential flaw and require everyone to have 3 search solutions 'at the ready'.

For FB obviously it's a different story, however, a smart politician would paint FB as a 'foreign enemy' and turn the tide of populism against them as well. Because Aussie didn't 'ban' them, FB/G pulled out themselves, denying people their service, most people would 'blame them'.

FB has some seemingly essential aspects in terms of communication, but I think that people would soon discover that it's not essential at all.

It would be a disaster for both of them.

The other risk is that this disaster becomes contagious.

If G 'shuts down' in Australia - what does the UK government do? The EU gov? If they are smart they react with legislation forcing more 'choice' in search on every level.
