How short the immunity to corona virus is - around a year.

Source? Right now, that seems unknown - too soon to tell. A few months of measuring antibody levels and we'll know more.
As someone with your exact background, I agree with you on almost all points. However I think that the common notion is less that AI will/should replace physicians but rather that AI could help physician to free time that they could then spend with patients. So the ongoing human involvement is an almost explicit goal (outside of radiology and pathology at least).

On another note and speaking from personal experience, NLP as well as patient information and note processing is something that might be less glorious than AI analysis of MRIs for example but which would have a far greater impact on physicians’ day to day life. Most residents spend like 50% of their time fighting applications with some of the worst UX I have ever seen just to get some basic information, log something or schedule a simple procedure.
Not sure about the US, but here they definitely put different prices on different apps. Not only that, they often put entirely different meals on the apps, or premake the delivery only meals or sometimes, deliver then from entirely different locations.

I think if restaurants engage in more aggressive price discrimination against bad actors in the delivery market, the customers will respond in kind.

The situation is not unlike the restaurant choosing whether to pay more rent for a better location to get more foot traffic, or pay less rent but then need to spend more on marketing.
Actually the idea behond Ctrl-Alt-Del is the other way around. Application can cause the same effect as user pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del (although doing that is somewhat complex due to interactions with UAC), but there is no way how application can prevent the said effect (essentially switching virtual desktops) from happening when user presses Ctrl-Alt-Del.
They are supposedly developing a new stainless steel alloy. I've seen indications it will reduce weight on starship. If its stronger, you can use less of it which is effectively lighter. But I haven't seen real info on what they've developed yet.
> Sure, you might disagree that socialism is possible without big government, but that has nothing to do with the definition. My only point is that it doesn't inherently have anything to do with control. The problem with saying that socialism means big government is it associates it with decades of red-scare propaganda and makes all discussion impossible.

I didn't say that at all. You can review my comments. But the point is that socialism doesn't distribute power, it concentrates it because "society" is never in control of anything. They'll elect representatives and they will be in charge. It is something that would work, provided human nature didn't exist.

> Not really, if the workers have ownership over the company and the capital, then they "own the means of production".

Shareholders have control over capital and have ownership.

> Sure, resource allocation is hard, but "lets just let the rich/monarchs/the lizard people decide" is a cop-out.

That's not what anyone is saying and that's not what is happening today.

There may be some who have a philosophical difference about "many" being in charge versus a "few". But just because I believe that in plurality of power it doesn't mean I believe socialism is the best way to get there.

I am not going by Twitter here. I have read a lot on the subject. Most of what I see uses socialism as a shorthand for "common good" and capitalism as shorthand for "greed". It is incorrect.

As an analogy, imagine if we're taking about ethics and morality and how to have a better and just world. If this was 100 years ago in the west, "Christianity" would be shorthand for morality and "Atheism" synonymous with evil, greed, and depravity. We've moved beyond that today and realized that neither of those will necessarily lead to a more moral or just world, and that ethics and morality are nuanced topics with a lot of details to be worked out. Simply being Christian doesn't make you one or the other, although hard to prove that to an average American in 1895. Furthermore, of the two, one is more static, dogmatic, and leads to corruption. I view the socialism and capitalism debate in the same vein.

Get off my lawn!

More seriously, old apps were way worse. Specially on windows, as soon as APIs for creating non-square windows became available, everyone wanted to use them. Nevermind that performance was horrible.

Even widely acclaimed apps had zero consistency with the OS. Remember Winamp? https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/26149893/956...

Trillian? Microsoft's own MSN? https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Tril...

And frankly, every single printer, scan, or motherboard utility. Some are bizarre to this day.

We can't even say that Microsoft apps followed the rules. They were one the first to break with paradigms, mainly because they could ship their own version of Microsoft's common controls library. This is how detachable button bars came about, or the infamous ribbon.
Ask HN: What's your opinion on GitHub Actions?
A nice, spammy scare piece. The bit about the UK somehow losing its permanent seat on the UN Security Council over Diego Garcia was a wee bit off. The UN’s charter would have to be changed to change the permanent members of the Security Council. Those same permanent members can veto any such proposed change. They can’t be forced out without rupturing things to the point of just creating a separate UN 2.0 excluding the UK and probably the USA too.

Predictable Surprises: The Disasters You Should Have Seen Coming (2003)
When folks say spectrogram they usually mean the magnitudes or power of the STFT, so as you say, it throws away the phase.

I would say that the spectrogram is a visualization of the STFT magnitudes, in the same way that a line plot is a visualization of the FFT magnitudes. The STFT and FFT are both invertible though.
First of all, we tend to work on what users are asking for. This survey shows a lot of interest for web and rust.

> (which is why Hawaii was ruled out even though it would be technically better)

Hawaii wasn't even a state when NASA was created. So there was never any serious consideration for using hawaii as NASA headquarters or launching site. The same goes for puerto rico which is much closer to the equator ( and the lower 48 ) than hawaii. It's not a state, so you can't put something as important as NASA or a launch site on puerto rico.

It's strange, but NASA is older than the state of hawaii.

"The scare quotes give an impression you have a problem with all science"

Not to me, it looks like the normal use of scare quotes. You could swap it with so called science. Stuff that people call science, which is not.

If someone doesn't like any science, why would they care about a distinction between science and so called science?

If you don't like that, then you don't like scare quotes at all, but then what's the problem with saying "so called blah"?

Getting a public ASN is relatively trivial. If you're curious, you can read more about it here: https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/request/

As for whats stopping the announcement of bad routes? Mostly just the ISPs, the big transit providers, and the IX's.

The problem isn't the small users. You, as a nefarious individual, are unlikely to be able to cause much real damage. In datacenters where you don't bring your own dedicated transit (expensive), you have to tell them your ASN and IP information so it gets whitelisted.

The problem is large players. If China Telecom wants to claim Google's IPs... well the entire world's transit providers may not acknowledge that - but enough will to cause a real problem. More examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGP_hijacking#Public_incidents
Paypal is notoriously customer biased. I have won these but usually because I reached out to the customer and talked it through. Either they didn't recognise or forgot the charge (couples who share accounts sometimes do this, they don't always communicate well so one disputes the others' purchases) or just want a plain old refund and thought clicking the Paypal button was easier than email.

Once I explain that I can simply refund them and it's quicker and easier, but they have to withdraw the dispute, it should happen.

If they actually stick to their story or go dark? I don't think I've heard many stories of Paypal siding with the business especially for digital goods.

Stanford study suggests coronavirus is more widespread than realized
> CF prices have come down rapidly in the past 20 years and it's becoming the standard structural material for original airframes.

No and no.

CF can mean anything, but typically you end up with structural members that are heavier than aluminum when all is said and done.

Also, CF is used for sub-subsonic (actually sub-transsonic) skins, which SpaceX found out the hard way.

> It's more workable and less exotic than it was before.

No.

> I think most, if not all, aviation startups are using it, like the Icon A5.

Composites are used for subsonic planes and interiors. And the Icon A5 is a toy.

The one good thing about composite (as in the Diamond Aircraft models) is that it's hail resistant up to a certain diameter and intensity, around 1 inch. That has been helpful with some storms in Florida, for example.
Fuel cost is far from being the dominating factor in TCO; that would be depreciation. I just ran Edmunds TCO calculator on an Audi A6: 5 year TCO of $70k, with depreciation over 5 years being $35k and fuel only contributing $9k.

Electric cars are nowhere near an affordable means of transportation right now (that would be a Hyundai Accent), so GP point stands true.
I don't entirely agree with the concept. Going through stressful situations can either hack away at your being or it can help make you a more informed and resilient person.

Pain can either be useful or useless. Physical exercise is painful. That's useful pain. Falling down and breaking your hip is useless pain.

Many of the stressful and painful situations in starting a company are actually extremely valuable life lessons. Learning how to continue after hearing "no" multiple times, criticism and doubt, continuing to be productive despite uncertainty. All of these traits can really only be developed through trial by fire.

There are some emotional situations though that are useless. The pain teaches you little to nothing. Even these situations can teach us acceptance over the things we can't control.

I believe pain is necessary to feel to grow. You have to take the time to absorb it properly though or else it can destroy you. The only way you can build emotional debt is by trying to forget about it, shoving it into a tiny box in your brain until it explodes out. If you take the time to self reflect and even just acknowledge pain, allowing yourself to experience sadness, you can better yourself in a way impossible without it.
It takes one to extort. It's perfectly reasonable to criticize the Democrats for using this as an opportunity to exert political pressure.

Yes the Republicans could cave to their demands, but that doesn't mean the Dems aren't extorting the situation.

I've seen some engineers making a distinction between "programmers" and "developers". The second imply "creating (developing) solutions to broad problems" where code is "just" (while a big) part of the solution.

There is no "developer" in the list, but "system architect" is what match the definition.
It's nice to read a well-thought-out piece that both critiques and enlightens.

That said, I do think it bears some mention that a substantial amount of the early Coronavirus discussion was being poisoned by people who were not arguing in good faith. That sucked a fair amount of the oxygen out of the debate, and I suspect may have left journalists in less of a position to provide thoughtful context around expert opinions. In other words, flat earthers occupying enough print and mindshare to make it hard to focus on the subtleties of Keplerian motion.

You aren't wrong it's been on my list forever to work on my site. FWIW some of the best media buyers I know though literally don't have websites.

I've been doing Facebook ads for 9 years. My team and I are a white label agency so we do the media buying for creative shops, designers, content marketers, etc. So I didn't land any client. I partnered with the folks that did. I got the partnership by putting out a ton of content on Youtube (Over 20 hours worth), through doing a 30 episode deep podcast on running an advertising agency, and being super helpful in a number of Facebook groups, Linkedin groups, etc. for years.

I'd definitely love to hear more about your technique once you're willing to say more about it. I'm really interested in time-frequency representations in general.

One way to get high frequency resolution from the STFT or Wavelet transform is to use the phase derivative within each frequency band, which is usually called "instantaneous frequency", and is closely-related to the phase-vocoder (different from the daft-punk-famous vocoder).

The main issue with this kind of instantaneous phase estimate is that it assumes there's only one dominant frequency within each band - does your method improve on that?
Thanks for sharing. Here's my experience.

I went through a similar process with Bank of America. I submitted my application on Friday when it opened. Then documents. A few days later, I got a call from a Bank of America representative. He asked if I had any issues. The rep tried to verify our business information. I spent some time trying to verify that he's not a scammer. I'm from Washington. He's in Colorado. He told me he's a mortgage banker. :) He's polite, but he has no idea about my application status. He just got assigned to reach out. I told him I uploaded the docs after lots of confusion. But I think I got it. The rep told me that I can't call him for information on the application. :)

On April 15, I received an email asking for business information. The email said, login, click "I'm ready" and fill out the required information. I tried to verify that it's a legit email. I avoid clicking on the link. :) I have no idea what the required information is. I logged into my business account, but not prompted "I'm ready" button. I spent 30 minutes looking around for the button. :) I found that I need to update my account information and promptly did.

On April 16, I saw the news that PPP is out of money. I'm worried. I log in to my business account again. This time, I got prompted the "I'm ready" button. I filled out the required information about our business.

I haven't seen anything after that.

There're a lot of people that I can get mad at, the virus, the rep, the bank, the state, the government, China. At this point, I don't think those things matter. Stay safe.

Yet another article that uses an acronym and then doesn't bother cluing us in to what it stands for.

I build healthcare interfaces; ADT means demographics. What's it mean here?
Funny you should ask. I am having a lot of frustrations with it.

We are seeing jobs that hang, lingering seemingly forever. I canceled one today that was 7 days old. They have un-openable logs for some buld step that should take <10 minutes but which it says has been running for days. Apparently, the official advice is to press the stop button and the a re-run button. But often the re-run jobs button never becomes available. This has been preventing an important PR of mine from ever completing the automatic checks, so it can't be merged.

Some bits of the system assume a maximum of 100 jobs. I think we have about 140.

Sometimes the status gets confused, especially if you can find and use the re-run button. For instance, here's one where it says "100 completed jobs", I know there are about 140. All of them have green circles, but there are also errors. Here's one. Some job failed with "unable to access 'https://github.com/[redacted]/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Operation timed out". Though githubstatus says things are fine right now. And also inexplicably, this particular job I checked twice has a green check next to it at the left.

Sometimes asset transfer from S3 takes a long time, but of course I don't know that's github/azure/microsoft's fault.

In the past, we saw lots of builds fail due to HTTP errors retrieving packages from azure.archive.ubuntu.com. This may be fixed, so that's something.

Covid-19’s Impact on Tor
>Isn't Apple ecosystem basically US/European WeChat?

If you could only perform all your life necessities by using a single app from Apple, like taxis/medical records/paying for things/transit access/government stuff/etc., then sure. But for now, there isn't anything like this. In fact, it would not come to fruition at any point in this current timeline imo, given that for each one of those things, Apple has competitors who have offerings just as good or better for each of those categories.

Also, I heavily doubt that US would ever subject itself to every single aspect of people's lives having to go through a single private entity with no alternatives available.

I think another part of the reason it happened in China (aside from obvious ones that people already mentioned, like WeChat being de-facto pretty much an extension of CCP) is the fact that before WeChat there was nothing. So WeChat came to an empty field and filled all that vacuum. In 2020, there is no such vacuum in the US/Europe. For each of the tasks one would use their smartphone for, there are multiple competent competing entries.
It absolutely does not belong in the standard library. That said, Rust does need a "go-to" stable library for web serving, like what Express is for Node. It might make sense for the core team to endorse one, or even spend time helping one of the most prominent ones move forward, but I think it needs to remain separate.

A few points.
Uber drivers cannot see if individual riders have tipped them. They also cannot see your individual rating of them, nor you of theirs.

Policing their own platform works both ways. When I order an uber I expect a certain quality of service. ie a safe, comfortable ride. Likewise, when I drive for uber I expect people to respect my property (my car). I expect uber to fulfill both of these things so that it is a usable platform.

Beyond that, if you get removed from using uber can't you use lyft, didi, a taxi, or public transit?

I would hope that the long term effect of this is that people behave in ubers. I personally have had friends throw up in them or drunkenly harass female drivers.

Rust already has synchronous TCP and UDP in the standard library (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/index.html). But most people want to use async versions, at which point there very much isn't one way to implement it.

Once you get to higher level protocols like HTTP, you also have questions like "should HTTP header be strings or encoded as types. There very much isn't just one way to implement it.
