It’s two different effects. First being within a range is not the same as being at the center of the range. Someone 4% above average height should have ~50% of their dimensions larger than that. Similarly someone at 4% below average should have around 50% of their dimensions below that. At best someone in the exact middle of the range only has so much buffer to work with.

Second the correlation is less significant than your assuming. My legs are the same length as some people a full foot shorter than I am.

Just been going thru "Mac Kernel Task Hell" myself recently until I got a box of a cold gel packs [0] to act as my new "Macbook Pro Cooling Stand".

Seriously, I know my Mac is a little old (2015 pre-Touchbar) but that doesn't mean I need to suffer like this w/ kernel_task eating 1,324% of my available CPU just because it's getting a little hot.

Other routes taken:

- Get a Fan App to keep the fans running at max 24/7, meh

- Take the risk of bricking my one and only dev machine by disabling the kernel_task process altogether, no thanks

No, just one nice ice pack with a cute tea towel on top, makes for a nice stand that keeps the aluminum unibody thingy nice and cool, sigh

I thought the exact same thing.

I decided to prove I could tell the difference to my wife, so we set up a blindfolded test, and I did absolutely no better than random.

However, we did another test where I was given a sip of coke beforehand as a baseline, and then got 100% accuracy.

But without the known-flavor baseline, I was essentially unable to accurately label the samples.
High-fructose corn syrup has some advantages, from a corporate aspect. First off, the USA subsidizes corn production rather heavily. It mixes readily with water, whereas sugar had some issues when it came to the mixers in the vats. Once these sort of advantages come to light, all you then have to do is convince first yourself, then everyone else, that it tastes the same or better.
Depending on your carrier, you could do this without swapping SIMs -- as far as I know, all of the Big Three in the US (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) all have "number-sharing" programs normally reserved for things like smartwatches. In fact, Palm specifically advertises that they work with Verizon and T-Mobile, and proposes alternatives for other networks (https://palm.com/pages/companion). If you're serious about this, it sounds worth looking into!
Excluding your rant (which is totally on point, BTW)

Every feature you drop is time saved. You can choose to invest that time into improving your remaining features; or you can simply save it for later and ship your release sooner.

Product release management is a balancing game. Your goal as a product owner is to determine the ideal balance between:

1) Shipping as soon as possible i.e. the "velocity" of the feedback loops.

2) Shipping something different enough than what you shipped before that there is valuable feedback to be gained from shipping ie. the "size" of the loop.

In one extreme, you wait until the product is "1.0" and ship one time and you have one huuuuuuuuuge feedback loop with a ton to process.

In another extreme, you ship every single (nano!) second of the day and you have a billion tiny feedback loops, most of which have no delta at all.

What most people have compromised on is some kind of fixed duration loop (aka "the sprint") that the resulting loop is, Goldilocks style, not too big or not too small, but juuust right to address within the fixed duration.

By fixing the duration, we now have a clear focus from a product development side: generate enough delta between what was shipped last time and shipped this time to ensure the size of the feedback loop is what we need to gain enough information on what's needed for the next shipping cycle.

And the hypothesis is that if we could compare the product built using the 3 choices - extreme size, extreme velocity, Goldilocks - over some long enough period of time, that the Goldilocks product would be the most valuable.

MVPs themselves are tricky because they are the "first release" so they don't have a delta nor feedback. They can technically be shipped any time!

But it's still important to choose a fixed duration for your MVP release, for three reasons:

1) It falls in line with the general principles of "fail fast", "ready, fire, aim", "you are not the customer", "avoid analysis paralysis", "perfect is the enemy of good", etc.

You will always struggle to get a "polish"/feature-based MVP out the door - there's one more thing to do, you're more critical than your customers ...

One is way more "negotiable" (in a negative sense) than the other.

2) By choosing a specific date you're going to ship on no matter what features are there, you've already guaranteed an M and a P. All that's left to negotiate is the V.

So now your point about the tradeoff between number of features vs. the polish of those features is valid, which leads to ..

3) There is no right answer to #2.

If I saw a lot of polish on someone's MVP I might ask what features they're missing entirely.

If I saw a lot of half-baked features I might ask why they didn't drop features X and Y to add polish to "core" feature Z.

Amazingly, the answers to those questions only matter if you're a user of the product!

So ship fast and get answers.
Great to see some new entrants on the IaaS market! Marketing feedback; for me, using the word "serverless" in this context for me is a huge turnoff. It signals either lack of understanding or knowing fully well that it's a misnomer and can easily to be interpreted as being something else than what it is. Especially as a headline or tagline. It's a buzzword that was dead right around the time when it was hot.

I got a Lenovo X1 Carbon that is pretty thin and have a adapter for Ethernet, good enough for me and doesn't seem to have any performance issues. The form factor of the X1 makes me really love it.

But when it comes to smartphones, I agree. They are getting thinner and larger, possibly to make it easier to drop and break or something, because I sure don't get it. It's hard to find a good, reliable smartphone that is around 4 inches today so I can hold it without worry with one hand.

The browser should simply disable WebGPU by default. It's already intended to be sandboxed, but given what happened with WebGL, I'm not convinced we can trust it. There's nothing to gain by faking a GPU.

Edit For clarity, I'm saying you may as well just disable WebGPU. A CPU-based simulated GPU would indeed improve security, but its performance would be so atrocious that there would be no point having it compared to the existing drawing APIs.
Apparently, Amish communities have an 85% retention rate.
Yes, communications overhead. SIMD instructions in the CPU have direct access to all the same registers and data as regular instructions. Moving data to a GPU and back is a very expensive operation relative to that. The chips are just physically further away and have to communicate mostly via memory.

Consider a typical use case for SIMD instructions - you just decrypted an image or bit of audio downloaded over SSL and want to process it for rendering. The data is in the CPU caches already. SIMD will munch it.
The MBP with only 2 TB3 ports run lower wattage processors (15w instead of 28) which may have an effect in this situation.
This is saying one could have an informed and correct opinion on any matter unless they are directly involved in that particular field.

Just to add to this. The industry as a whole recognized how quickly things could turn from politicians and focus on healthcare as its failure will be very visible and easy to pin point. When your SO is dying for the right of the industry to charge whatever insurance will bear, people tend to be less charitable in their judgment.

Hence, ads about how we are all in this together. It would be funny to watch as I do not even know how to satire this, but it is still upsetting that it likely will work on a subset of population.
I think the general assumption is arm length and height for example are strongly correlated.
Nonetheless, the fact remains, no M4A plan proposed by any candidate in the 2020 race would disallow insurers from offering supplemental coverage. Bernie is just simplifying for purposes of making himself understood to the general public. Nobody would "need" private insurance under his plan:

> In other words, while Sanders' plan doesn’t ban supplementary coverage from private insurers, it does offer such generous coverage by the government that there's not much room left for private coverage to fill any gaps. This is the logic upon which both conservative critics — and supposedly nonpartisan mainstream reporters and pundits — hang the logic that Sanders' plan would "ban" private coverage. It's a dramatic "gotcha" question.... [0]

You're essentially reinforcing a right wing talking point that completely mischaracterizes what Bernie's M4A plan actually does.

Since this is infectious before symptoms show up, it's basically impossible to eliminate it entirely.

But suppose A starts showing symptoms, tests positive. We can immediately notify B1, B2 and B3 that they need to quarantine, immediately. Before they start showing symptoms. And therefore we're cutting down on the time that they were infectious and spreading. Therefore generation C is only a couple of people instead of dozens. We can notify C generation as well, immediately if we wish. This causes a large quarantine - there are a lot of false positives who are quarantining without being infected - but it would massively reduce the spread. If you can immediately test all of generation B and C, you can perhaps avoid some of the quarantining (assuming a negative is reliable).

Maybe contact tracing misses some, maybe some new infected come from other countries, maybe some people don't quarantine when told. All these things keep the infection going. But it can be held down to a manageable level.

I do not think it is a matter of food. I think that an oppressive regime will inevitably decrease the conditions for the poor masses. Look at how poor black people are massively overrepresented in US prisons. I think this is caused by the simple fact that the oppression takes the path of the least resistance. Now combine this with city-wide riots and you have a recipe for a "nothing left to lose" situation that could quickly escalate.

> the primary mechanism of transmission [...] has been known

I thought the entire point of this post was that there were multiple competing theories and little agreement or certainty? Your use of the phrase "has been known" implies a broad consensus in public health circles. I've seen very little consensus on any feature of this pandemic.
I'm 39. I lost my job last September, when the startup I had worked for the last four years had folded.

I don't have a 401(k), and I only had $110k saved. For my entire life, I have I kept my money out of the stock market. I only dabbled a little - only $600 of my savings came from a few shares of AMZN that I bought and sold back in 2017. The rest was from paychecks.

I started to wise up last year, when I read that the yield curve had inverted. I didn't have a clue as to what event would trigger a drop in stocks, but I knew something was coming. So my plan for months has been to buy when most people were panicking, and then to basically just sit on the stocks until cooler heads prevail.

Over a two week period starting on March 16th, I put every cent of my savings into the market. I learned on my feet, dumping the ETF shares I bought (VOO) for only an $89 loss, going directly against diversification, in favor of buying things I think I understand.

And you know what? I'm up 40 grand, and I really believe in the stocks I picked. As the other automakers drive off a cliff, TSLA is positioned perfectly (batteries, autonomy, lower TCO). And AAPL makes great products instead of depending on advertising. (I have other positions, including a bet on Chinese eVTOL maker eHang, but I'll keep this brief.)

What I'm doing is pretty damn risky in the short-term. I could still lose all my gains and much of my principal. And I only have $10k in cash to live off of if I can't find a job.

Hatred of the billionaires - whose companies invent and produce the things that drive our living standards up - also hurts conscientious people like me. Instead of envying the rich, focus on how to get rich yourself.

NB: Gains from stocks are not free money! What I'm doing feels like a full-time job, as I continually worry about losing everything. This involves an incredible amount of research and planning, the ability to take on an incredible amount of risk, and that's stuff that the envious haters never see.
That's a misunderstanding of how death works. Everything is a comorbidity on some level.

> just accelerated something that would have happened within a few months anyway

That's absolutely not what this means. Asthma is a comorbidity. Are asthmatics just a few months from death? I have hypertension, am I about to kick the bucket? Sixty percent of the US population (no doubt including many of the posters on this very thread) are overweight, yet somehow we keep coming back.

Almost nothing kills "by itself". Everything adds up, and eventually the body stops working. Other diseases work this way too, yet you don't complain that yearly influenza deaths are inflated. Would you have argued that AIDS deaths were "really" due to the final infection and not HIV?

I'm skeptical of "sustainable business" claims, as they trend zero cyclical models. So, if this is how this group is doing business every week, month, and year, they just have a different approach, not a sustainable one.

Sustainable means a business shifts between periods of focused growth and periods of focused stabilization. You grind for acquisition for awhile, then you pivot into shoring up operations during a period of controlled churn. Sustainable business should be able to withstand any sudden, dramatic shifts in the market or loss of accounts, and have enough resources on-hand to have something like a continuity plan for revenue.
> Just to be clear, you never HAVE to update your code. Rust 1.0 code still works just fine.

You have to update your dependencies though because every now and then, changes lead to breaking builds. I have a codebase from 2015, last touched in 2016, and many dependencies failed to compile, some because of changes in the language (those changes are only done to fix bugs but they still cause churn to users), others because the openssl wrapper doesn't support newer natively installed versions of openssl. It took me roughly an hour to fix all the issues and it's only a few hundred lines.

Admittedly this is much much less effort than staying up with whatever the currently hyped error handling library is. And C++ projects often need effort to work on newer compilers as well because they invoke UB and the optimizer changed and led to segfaults. Seen it with my own eyes.
There are many reasons. The latency of getting data back and forth to the GPU is a pretty high threshold to cross before you even see benefits, and many tasks are still CPU bound because they have data dependencies and logic that benefit from good branch prediction and deep pipelines.

Many high compute tasks are CPU bound. GPUs are only good for lots of dumb math that doesn't change a lot. Turns out that only applies to a small set of problems, so you need to put in lots of effort to turn your problem into lots of dumb math instead of a little bit of smart math and justify the penalty for leaving L1.

I'm not in the US. But it seems like a public public policy question in the US as well - if any of the reports on the web are accurate, at least.

I would like to hear from you how does a unconscious person decide. The family decides for them, no? That's my assumption, so that's why I am talking about people's grandmothers.
I think this article is getting things out of order. The question right now shouldn't be who to test, but rather how do we increase the volume of testing. The article states that we should be running 500k tests a day, as if we're not simply because we choose not too. Right now we don't have the capacity and so we can't scale up at all.

Why don't we have the capacity? Well the complete lack of coordination and leadership at the federal level means that each individual entity, whether it be state level government or a private entity, is having to do everything from scratch. That means developing SOPs, procuring supplies, and validating both the processes and reagents. This is being done on emergency orders as well, so some of the standards are relaxed to quickly get things up and running.

There's also a shortage of reagents and kits because we didn't have or need this testing just a few months ago. There's also international competition for these resources, and because the US has decided it doesn't want to actually work with or coordinate with other countries, it's a free for all.

Because everyone's frantically working on the same thing, but looking out for themselves it also means that true high throughput solutions are slow to develop as well.

I could go on and on, but it's a clusterfuck and no one at the federal level either A) seems to care or B) thinks that it's their responsibility.

I think you need to verify the property has good cleanliness scores and verify up front that they will in fact take the proper steps to clean the house. Yes, a bit more trust, but I think overall the likelihood of transmission will be less because you are "around" fewer people. My strategy would only go somewhere for a few weeks or more, I wouldn't be going to Airbnb's for a night here and there. And I would go into the property and spend an hour or so wiping down surfaces before the family enters.

All the platforms do this. Many of the big online travel agencies (booking.com, expedia, etc.) are some of the biggest buyers of AdWords (or at least were before coronavirus), spending billions on Google. Last fall Expedia's stock tanked (again, before all the coronavirus stuff) because Google's search results started including the ability to go through directly to booking sites without going to an OTA.
