Ask HN: What would you miss if you suddenly have no more Internet?
The current Covid-19 crisis is putting a lot of light on some vulnerabilities of our societies.

Luckily in the current situation, it's "only" a sanitary crisis, meaning almost all infrastructures are still operational, especially the Internet which allows a smooth backup plan for many of our activities.

I'm wondering what would happen if a different kind of crisis happens and the Internet stops working in many significant locations with very little perspective to go back to a normal situation in a short time frame (due to a significant infrastructure outage, no more skills available to repair things, whatever, lot's of things could happen indeed ...).

What would you miss the most in the new way of living/working which will appear? I.e. what should we get prepared to have a backup plan for?

$3bn in volume equates to around $90M (~3% of volume) in fees. Not an insignificant amount of money but when your revenue is approaching $10B, it doesn't move the needle.

Also, this money is divided up among all the players. This includes the network (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), the Bank (every credit card has an issuing bank), and the acquirer (Stripe).

Good point. Orbit is an orbit. "Don't just draw a full cycle of orbits to highlight it is some amazing finding"
I would say that BEAM prioritizes throughput over 50th-percentile latency, because BEAM prioritizes serving “port” pseudo-actors (distinct scheduled interactions with the kernel through syscalls for queuing/resolving IO ops) over serving actual userland execution-thread actors.

One actor queuing up a heavy amount of IOPS through many different ports, can actually cause the BEAM node to generate a visible latency spike, as it always tries to schedule all the ready ports assigned to the given OS scheduler-thread per scheduler-timeslice, before trying to schedule any user-defined actors; and so will find itself with very little time left in that timeslice to schedule the execution threads of actual actors. A single actor can accomplish this “uneven” loading because BEAM’s reduction scheduling means that just queuing IO ops through ports in a linear block of code can never cause an actor to be descheduled, since the port BIFs are not function calls per se, and therefore have no ability to trigger scheduler yield-checking.

Mind you, this is a highly-unusual usage pattern. Actors don’t usually batch up huge binary payloads to send and then blast them all through at once into many different ports in an unrolled loop. And, usually, one actor doesn’t even usually hold multiple ports; the idiomatic approach is for each port to have its own separate “owner” actor (because this means that these “owner” actors will be scheduled semi-synchronously in response to activity on their respective ports, sort of like Go with goroutines getting scheduled in response to activity on channels.) In an idiomatic usage pattern, you could say that the node doesn’t become IOPS-bound but rather actor-scheduling-bound, where a scheduler-saturating number of ready ports can’t be brought about, because as ready ports per timeslice increase, the amount of the scheduler-timeslice available to actors decreases, and so fewer actors that would generate IOPS are getting run, meaning that more of the next timeslice will be available. In other words, with idiomatic use of ports, this is a self-limiting problem.

But, well, we’re talking about how the BEAM is built, rather than about what Erlang/OTP systems do in practice. The BEAM itself has these priorities, even if, in practice, they’re papered over with other ones :)
Thank you for bringing attention this. In a language many software engineers would understand, I would call this an antipattern that encourages non-theological religious belief.
There are lots of differences but yes, it's a calculated risk we feel good about given those differences.
I wonder if hackernews mods keep tabs on people carpet downvoting?
I'd bet those plans do exist somewhere. We had plans for pandemic defense too, but we didn't bother actually stockpiling masks and ventilators. At least for that we can afford to catch up.

The more intensive ideas like underground bases would have to be built well before modern civilization collapsed. They'd cost a lot, and we'll have less and less resources available as the damage worsens, so doing it in time might require more foresight than we've shown so far.

Just going to high altitude would be less protective but relatively cheap. But any small refuge would have to deal with a lot of well-armed people fighting over it, plus epidemics brought on by overcrowding and mass migration. It might be safer to be on Mars.

But sure, in theory a small population could eke out an existence in an enclosed base.
My question asking if you value products of philosophy that have become essential to our society neither contains an unjustified assumption and thus is not a loaded question and still stands and thus has not backfired.
>This also suggests that mathematics is 100% constructed by the human brain, even if it is highly-influenced by relationships found in the physical world.

As I see it, mathematics is both discovered and invented.

We can model every existing thing in every possible world using math. Even if both the set of all things that might exist and all possible mathematical constructions are infinite, the later is larger. That's because we can also construct mathematical models of things that doesn't exist.

So it looks that from the set of all possible mathematical constructions, we extracted a subset that maps to objects in reality. That looks like a discovery process.

But we also constructed mathematical models of things that don't have corespondents in reality, so that much be more of an invention process.

Let's pretend for a bit that we forget all what we know and tomorrow we will start inventing things again. Or that a species of aliens start fresh on a planet.

The mathematic theories and notions we and the aliens might discover, build or invent might be different than the theories and notions we know today but would probably be equivalent. That suggests that mathematics just exists somewhere in its own world waiting to be discovered.

Cars have way more capacity than they typically need, and very predictable usage patterns. If your car has 400 km of range and your daily commute is 80 km total, you can pretty safely charge to only 200 km and not get range anxiety. In the rare cases where you need as much capacity as possible (road trips), you know your approximate departure time, so the battery only needs to be at maximal charge for a short time.

Laptops don't get used like that. People plug them in, then unplug and walk around with them until they either they run out of power or their meetings are over. It's really asking too much to have people plan their usage out. Plus the draw rates aren't predictable. If I can get away with just checking email, my laptop lasts all day. If I have to do a big C++ compile that's 30 watt-hours right there.

I might also add that really only Tesla is doing the charging guidance UI. Other car manufacturers spend a lot of resources to perpetuate the illusion of a battery working like a fuel tank.
Why are people so obsessed with "the real reason" for round manhole covers?

Manholes are round, or were, so that they wouldn't cave in. Everything in a Victorian sewer is round. The passages are too.

You have a round hole in the ground. You need to put a cover on it. Why would you put a square cover? It's going to be smaller than the hole and restrict access or larger than the hole and waste materials.

That's plenty of reason. There doesn't have to be some aspect of machining or a brain-teaser about square covers falling in when on edge or anything else.

We put square covers on round ducts and vice versa for a bunch of reasons in HVAC today. Aesthetics, ease of making dampers, flow... it's a pain in the neck, but we do it, because something is forcing us to. You need a reason to put a square cover on a round hole.
I think OP was being sarcastic
"How can I train the model using my own raw data?

Generally, you just need to subtract the right black level and pack the data in the same way of Sony/Fuji data. If using rawpy, you need to read the black level instead of using 512 in the provided code. The data range may also differ if it is not 14 bits. You need to normalize it to [0,1] for the network input."

The Sony and Fuji training code looks mostly the same - they haven't bothered to pull out common code and re-use.

Yes and no. It explicitly means that the average temperature, globally, is increasing. Drastically so.

I don't know that I agree with this first statement, but even if I do, everything is abstracted by import statements even outside ML. You say this is a huge amount of code abstracted, but it wouldn't be difficult to reimplement this in numpy and pandas directly without using tensorflow at all. The code would expand a bit, and you'd have to deal directly with backprop and calculating derivatives but it wouldn't expand things too much. But then you could make the same claim about numpy abstracting the linear algebra, and I could show you that I could extract that and do it without numpy but then it would be the python math library. It's turtles all the way down. My point is, your comment applies to everything.
Love this effort. [EDIT: Removed poorly thought out idea]
You got it.

It takes intelligence to entertain both sides of an argument, grasp and appreciate the nuance of the situation and then come to a sensible conclusion, which is often "I don't know, I'll need to learn more to decide."

And it takes intellectual honesty to admit when our preconceptions need to be tossed and upgraded to a more expansive, more accurate worldview, which is the essense of intelligence.

That's why Dunning & Kruger's work is so damned important: It showed that the least capable are the most confident.
Can someone put this whole piece into plain English, e.g. we're going to fund less startups? or no more 150K for 7%, now it's 100K for 4% or something like that in the first paragraph? I have no idea about "pro rata stake", or what "case-by-case" exactly different from what it has been doing.
I think you and OP are talking about different things because the term "intuitionist" has been used for both the philosophy that EJ Brouwer espoused (which matches what OP said) and the large field of constructive mathematics that has been greatly influenced by Brouwer's philosophy but has embraced approaches like formal logic which Brouwer himself disliked.
Everything after your first "but" contradicts what comes before it. Should people who are at more risk get priority? Because if they should, then yes, people with regular immune systems SHOULD in fact just suck it up and go inside until there are enough curbside slots available for everyone. Then there won't be a use for a site like this and those healthy people can book their curbside slots on the grocery stores' websites like normal.

This site and others like it just guarantee that vulnerable people MUST use these sites to even have a chance to get curbside. I guarantee there are those who are not savvy enough, and young tech-savvy people who know how to use these services will use curbside while older, more vulnerable, and less tech-savvy people must go in. I feel bad using a site like this because even though my wife is in a vulnerable group, I know others are worse off and don't have the know-how to use this tool. I want them to have a chance.

You can't say that "people who are more at risk should get priority" AND say that _everyone_ should be doing the same thing as them. If everyone is a priority, nobody is. Yes, some healthy people with good immune systems DO need to take some risks in lieu of those who are more likely to die if they take the same risks.

And spare me the platitude at the beginning of your comment. If you did sympathize, you wouldn't've posted something so tone-deaf.
Pretty cool but seems like there’s a big limitation on this for now

“ The pretrained model probably not work for data from another camera sensor. We do not have support for other camera data. It also does not work for images after camera ISP, i.e., the JPG or PNG data.”

Would be cool to see how they come up with better models that would allow them to overcome the above limitations
> Because your whole argument is an example of an "argument to moderation" fallacy[1] that is only valid as long as there is some evidence that points to the fact that the majority medical opinion on vaccines is wrong (and of course, the majority opinion is not "everyone should get every vaccine there is all the time").

> I mean, I get the point that name-calling doesn't help, but we can't just accept statements that contradict established scientific opinion without any strong evidence, otherwise there is no means to progressing as a society.

There was nowhere in my arguments that I stated to accept anything from their arguments. I stated to disprove their arguments with science and to not engage in name-calling.

I did state that the people labeled as "anti-vaxxers" support their claims with scientific studies. I am not addressing their claims, so I am not providing the evidence they use to support their claims. I am stating how they make their claims.

Your claim that I am in line with the linked fallacy demonstrates that you do not understand what that fallacy is or where to apply it.

Here are their docs: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api

But we use everything around recording, including live streaming.

Zoom has a great team of folks in the developer forums that are really helpful. My biggest gripe would be that not everything that breaks gets documented and logged so it can be really frustrating when our service breaks b/c their webhooks are down and there is no status on their end that this is the case.

We had a list of a dozen thing we wanted them to support when they started and they are all now in there... so pretty happy w/ progress.
The wildly speculative price of crypto is a feature of the transition period, not an innate feature of cryptocurrencies.

There are two steady-states of money, both described by the money supply equation PQ = MV from macroecon-101. If everybody uses dollars, Bitcoin is worth nothing and the value of dollars (1/P) = real GDP (Q) / MV, real GDP rises at ~1-3%, velocity of money is roughly constant, and so price levels go up at the ratio of money supply growth / real GDP growth. The same goes for crypto - if everyone uses Bitcoin, the dollar is worth nothing and prices of goods go up based on real GDP / Bitcoin money supply growth, with the value of Bitcoin (in goods, because nobody would be using dollars) as the reciprocal of that. Cryptocurrency inflation is actually a lot more stable than dollar inflation, because the supply of a cryptocurrency is algorithmically baked into the software itself at the time the crypto is launched. Short of forks and competing adoption, you can predict exactly how many Bitcoin there will be (21 million) when the last Bitcoin is mined (2140).

The wild price swings happen because you have two interacting user populations. If say 0.1% of the population uses Bitcoin and then a bunch of news stories come out about crypto that raise awareness to 1%, then you have 10x as many people fighting over the same supply of crypto. That'll drive the price up 10x (actually more, because people tend to hoard rather than sell when the price is growing up). Similarly, if half those people give up and go back to dollars, the price will fall by 50% (actually more, again because of the presence of Bitcoin hoarders).

In the end state, where everybody uses cryptocurrency, the price of crypto in dollars becomes meaningless, because nobody uses dollars anyway. That makes cryptocurrency a funny investment where its true fundamental value is either zero or infinite, and the price you're getting in the spot market at any given time is a reflection of how likely the public at large thinks these two outcomes are.

I don't find this evidence convincing. Your first link just lists health benefits of vitamin D, and discusses how different ethnicities absorb it differently, which I don't want to dispute. The second link just states that minority populations are more at risk without making any link to vitamin D.

This is, at best, a correlation (in fact, I'm not even sure the data does go that far) and implies no causal mechanism.

Sure, if vitamin D is healthy, which it probably is, do go outside and get some more (though do beware of sunburns). As it stands right now, I haven't heard of any claims linking this to Coronavirus yet, though.

What's more problematic is the claim that you should "get vitamin D to boost your immune system". Even if that worked (I don't believe it does), you don't want to necessarily boost it because that might lead to bad consequences. [1] In fact, people have died from covid19 in part due to the immune system overreacting. [2]

Remote work: Working together when we’re not together
> Have you worked much with mid-00's era table layouts?

Umm... I've been designing Web sites since the mid-'90s. I used to do that very thing.

It is my shame (actually, I have many marks of shame, but we'll pretend I have just the one, for now).

That said, I also figured out how to make these "boxes" extremely flexible. I write about that in one of the links that I mentioned (https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/stylist/another-reas...). In that article, I describe both a "fixed," div-based "framed" table, and a flexible one; based on archaic table layout.

One advantage of having worked on sites back then (and there weren't many advantages), was that the browsers were radically different from each other, and Web designers learned to make sites that could maintain presentation in many different browsers. We generally had to do it by hand, as there wasn't really much in the way of libraries, or even prior art. We had to make it up as we went along.

I know, I know..."OK, Boomer." But it was quite helpful in understanding what was going on at the base level, and those lessons carry forward to this day.

I am not a professional Web designer. I make my own sites, and a couple of ones for NPOs, but they aren't fancy, and won't help anyone win "Buzzword Bingo." They just work fairly well, and are quite responsive.

EDITED TO ADD: You are probably thinking about this book, which became the bane of modern Web designers by the mid-oughties: https://books.google.com/books/about/Creating_Killer_Web_Sit...
Great point. Two truths that can not be reasoned away by ideology:

1) Most Americans don't have the lived experience to properly weigh the value of world-changing vaccines like Polio, MMR, etc.

2) There is a strong profit motive for pharmaceutical companies to get more globally-recommended vaccines approved.

Polarizing the debate and then picking a winning side will lead to the wrong outcome. Details matter.
