It's a very sensitive detection technique that uses some cool properties of light. We used it 20+ years ago in grad school (they were very expensive machines that were extremely hard to master; everything from calibration to routine operation was significantly more challenging than most devices I worked with) and I think it has quite a history before that. Never heard of it being used for rapid detection in a public environment; my experience is that things that work in a lab setting often don't externally unless somebody comes up with a good technology improvement (think vacuum tubes -> transistors -> small radios).
Uh I feel bad outing the man on HN consider it's really his story to tell. But I think if you guys are motivated enough, you'd be able to track his name down :)
I like how you're ignoring the organ damage in even younger survivors like it's rosacea or something.
Many are outright exploitative.

Fast food comes immediately to mind: I once got disciplinary action one summer, because I came in to work too much, and crossed over 80 hours in a two-week pay period, thus earning overtime.

Coworkers had called out, so I got called in. Did my job, then got punished and unscheduled because I worked "too much".

All so a mega-franchiser (who owns most of one particular national chain's stores across a large region) could ultimately avoid supporting (no one was scheduled more than 39.5 hours a week to avoid them becoming "full-time" and requiring benefits, scheduling wasn't handled in a timely manner, etc.) the people who do the essential work for their survival, day in and day out, keeping massive profits for themselves.

It really pisses me off, and these are just a few of the reasons it's shitty.
Ubuntu is "hobbyist" now? That's certainly not how they bill their entire platform.
Cultural differences are big here too.

Asian American culture leads to personalities which are not considered leadership-worthy in WASP culture. You're not alone there. The same is true for people from most cultures -- African immigrants, Eastern European immigrants, and most other types of immigrants behave in ways which are too foreign.

It's not universal -- there are individuals who manage to culturally adapt. But they're a minority, and it's an uphill battle.

Actual performance tends to be excellent, but that's not how leaders get chosen in most organizations. Leadership decisions are almost entirely about perception: Do your employees like you and relate well to you? Your superiors? That has a huge cultural component, and a lot of room for racism.
Your story is missing a piece. Harvard is not in the military chain of command. They weren't able to send people to die in Vietnam.
Since it's what I'm typing this on, let's look at Skylake.

Multiply: Latency 3, Throughput 1
Shift: Latency 1, Throughput 2

If the ALU contained an early out or fast path for simpler multiplies, the latency would read 1-3. You can verify this by looking at div, which does early out and has a latency of 35-88.

Any compiler that doesn't swap a multiply to a shift when it can is negligent.

Do you have access to more reliable numbers?
Yeah, I think there's value in minimizing the period that someone is contagious but still tests negative though.
Lots of people use Jira for non programming related things. One of the guys who works at Jira used it to assign tasks to the family for preparation of thanksgiving dinner :)
Take note though that AppArmor breaks when removing the snapd package using this method - at least that was the case for me about a week ago :/
You can literally just go to the list of issues on github and sort by most commented and look at their dates to see they're still relevant issues. This the dumbest type of HN question. You could have discovered it yourself in < 1 minute but you apparently refuse or might just not be able to (of which I sincerely apologize).

Also your comment history should warrant a general silence. Fuck you and fuck dang and PG.
And other schools that provide an elite education and prestige all also discriminate in the same way. This case isn't just about Harvard, it's about discrimination against Asians in general. Would be wonderful if the rest of the ivys, stanford, carnegie, vandy, emory, northwestern, the UCs, mich, illinois, purdue, gatech, your local state school, and so on all didn't have legacy admissions and didn't discriminate against asians. But they do. Very few schools (MIT and hopkins come to mind) with that level of prestige and ability to unlock the doors that affirmative action is supposed to equalize access to don't have legacy preference and underhanded discriminiation the way harvard does it. They're not an outlier.
My pet theory is that a lot of "identity politics"-type stories are really about punching up vs. punching down. The success, overall, of Asian-Americans means discrimination against them at least does not feel like punching down, and therefore doesn't attract much attention.

(Our test scores are also better.)
I don't have a stake in this argument. But nice signaling attempt.
Not that granular yet, but I’ve been capturing user story/ acceptance criteria level best practices. Currently at ~800 B2B focused modular “specs” that find the middle ground between devs and non technical team members.

The closest thing I've experienced is the value of a CRT computer monitor in my locale, which is a negative 15 dollars because you have to buy a sticker from the city in order to dispose of it.
That's amazing :D

I thought the whole rugged laptop thing was a bit hokey for a while, and then I watched a local telco guy set his Toughbook down to tie his boot. He forgot to pick it back up and backed over it with his van. Jumped out, terrified. Opened it up and you could just watch the tension release as it woke up from sleep and worked fine.

And just in case you think I'm a terrible person for sitting back and watching... I was trying to get to him, but he didn't hear me yell and backed up before I got to him :)
Would you ever tell blacks to just go live somewhere else 300 years ago if they hated slavery so much? How about Jews during Nazi Germany?

Fucking hell. Truly no one gives a damn about Asian Americans in this country. I can't believe this is even up for debate.

EDIT: Calmed down and realized there was really no need to invoke slavery or Nazi Germany.

The question is, would you ever tell African Americans or Jewish people who are unsatisfied with the state of race relations in the U.S. to just go live somewhere else? No, you'd get destroyed if you even hinted it. Then why is it okay toward Asians?
Totally, and it's unfortunate. When people talk about diversity in the workplace or whatever, they aren't talking about diversity in foot size. Diversity is invisible. I wish it weren't the case that so many people use race as a proxy for the kind of diversity that provides the greatest breadth of experience and worldview that lets us benefit in things like problem-solving. Many of us unfortunately live in cultures where it's acceptable to interpret a person's silence as tacit support one way or the other, and so people are under pressure to signal their political affiliations to their peer groups. And since there's been a really poor proliferation of the tools, training, and education necessary to even really identify what people mean when they say "diversity", and using race as a proxy is so easy to do, it's what the vast majority of people reach for first when they need a quick and low-effort signaling mechanism. And in gaining traction as a signaling mechanism in this way, it became the status quo, adding even more pressure to signal using this proxy, in a kind of feedback loop. It's super lazy. And worse, as with any kind of status quo there are also a lot of groups and individuals who've staked significant investment in it (political will, money, their careers, various kinds of relationships, etc.), who may in fact support diversity concepts and initiatives but because of their existing investment and their varying levels of desire to defend this investment (or out of a sense of sunk cost), they will actually in the end be working against diversity. Not to mention using race as a proxy just ends up reinforcing existing prejudices (or creating new ones) on many levels, from individuals to entire systems. It's unfortunate.
Heh. It’s true and I think Peterson is guilty of not only taking advantage of the attention provocation brings but cultivating it to some extent.

But I did have something more specific in mind that I didn’t articulate well: I think he’s successful at provoking attention to some genuinely helpful philosophical questions... and at least calling attention to a segment of knowledge from psych/neuroscience and then to some extent literature and mythology that are relevant to the questions. I can see why the provoke part sometimes overwhelms the rest and limits his audience, he is not without sin, but I think he’s doing more than trading in ambiguous deepities. YMMV, it’s possible someone better educated in those fields can point to something better.
Oh, I thought it was part of his public story. Never mind. I'm happy to let it lie. I'll look it up myself. It probably lost some details in the telling because I can't see how Harvard can send someone to Vietnam.
There's more to it than that. The professor was actually kicked out and then subsequently drafted. The way he tells the story, there is a clear implication that had he stayed, he would have avoided the draft.
Love this angle on open offices.

This kind of reason is needed to counter bean counters saying, "But ... but ... but it's a nickel cheaper per headcount!!!"
> There is a race so different from our own that we do not permit those belonging to it to become citizens of the United States. Persons belonging to it are, with few exceptions, absolutely excluded from our country. I allude to the Chinese race. But, by the statute in question, a Chinaman can ride in the same passenger coach with white citizens of the United States, while citizens of the black race in Louisiana, many of whom, perhaps, risked their lives for the preservation of the Union, who are entitled, by law, to participate in the political control of the State and nation, who are not excluded, by law or by reason of their race, from public stations of any kind, and who have all the legal rights that belong to white citizens, are yet declared to be criminals, liable to imprisonment, if they ride in a public coach occupied by citizens of the white race. It is scarcely just to say that a colored citizen should not object to occupying a public coach assigned to his own race. He does not object, nor, perhaps, would he object to separate coaches for his race if his rights under the law were recognized. But he objecting, and ought never to cease objecting, to the proposition that citizens of the white and black race can be adjudged criminals because they sit, or claim the right to sit, in the same public coach on a public highway.

- Justice Harlen, Plessy v Ferguson dissent [0], arguing against segregation.

There is only one time in American history when it was the official policy that everyone of a particular race (in particular regions of the country) be forcibly relocated to concentration camps; and that race was Japanese. Granted, there were periods of American history where the de-facto policy was essentially the same towards blacks.

Anti-Asian discrimination is the untold civil rights story of American history, and it never really stopped.

They have the California Republic - fair, unbiased, prosperous. California isn't the massive powerhouse it is (a bigger economy than half of American states combined) by accident. The free society has a competitive advantage.

And obviously it's hard to set up a university these days, and no one is going to set up a single race university. I doubt anyone actually wants an Asian-only university, just for there to be sufficient race-blind ones.
Huh, interesting, because that exact problem is one of my key complaints with windows search, while I've never noticed it with spotlight -- and I've been using spotlight daily since Tiger.

Well, that's not quite true, for a few years after spotlight was released it would get slow after a while, so I mainly stuck with Quicksilver. Eventually spotlight got faster, but I never had that particular problem with it, even though I very regularly have that particular problem on Windows.
That's what I do.

What is funny is sometimes I'll run into a problem customer that other developers complain about and I'll profusely thank that customer for finding the bug (even if they are being jerks about it).

After a few rounds of that and they think they're a valuable power user with lots of insight who is saving us all. (Doesn't matter if it is true or not.)

Suddenly they bring me bugs all happy as a clam that they found something that nobody else could (again doesn't matter if it is true or not), and they're all proud and in a much better mood and feel better about the product.
1. NPM is analogous to Maven for Java. Yes the ClojureScript bundler target lets you use anything you've installed from NPM into your project's `node_modules` directory. Not many limitations because we wash our hands of dealing with this stuff - use whatever popular bundler solution you prefer.

2. Not for creating NPM packages, just consuming them. Webpack lets you use dependencies from NPM and package them up into a single JS (or code-split) asset to be used on a webpage. Note, we have no integration to any particular bundler. You could just as easily run Metro for React Native on the output and build a mobile app.
6 month lockdown doesn’t seem necessary, but a lockdown until it’s possible to do contact tracing and containment does seem necessary, either way this is something that easily warrants a drastic response because the potential cost is so high.

I'd say over 50% of Israeli tech founders come from that unit or one of its siblings. That includes Wix, Checkpoint, Palo Alto Networks and hundreds of others. This really is the backbone of the Israeli tech industry.

Not only that but these people are very tightly integrated into global tech giants - Apple's two large acquisitions in Israel (PrimeSense and Anobit), Facebook's Israeli R&D center (Onavo) and a significant part of Microsoft's cloud security division (Adallom) - all of those are ex. 8200.
> Unity was very good in a lot of respects. Both its UI elements and its performance.

I hear a lot of praise for Unity and I'm the kind of person who enjoy trying out new stuff and Linux Desktops is no exception.

For me, Unity was broken because of alt-tab (behavior and lack of configurability).

It might work for everyone else but when I want to switch back to the last or second last thing I worked with I want that done now.

I don't want to look at the tab switcher to ponder what to do next, just alt-tab, done.

This has worked consistently in every Windows since at least 3.1 (the first my family owned), and in every Linux desktop environment I've used except Unity and Gnome 3. And in Gnome 3 it was at least configurable.

This might seem trivial to a lot of you but to keep focus I keep one application maximized most of the time. I don't use them side by side. Then when I need to reference something (Jira, vendor documentation etc) I alt-tab. Same goes for slack.

The real gains come not from decreasing the distance travelled (sometimes the racing line does the opposite), they come from limiting the radius of the turn so you can carry more speed through. At least thats what I've learned from playing Grid 2 for far to many hours.

Yeah, fair point! I think adaptations can be made.
So I'm not a dev, but I've worked on product for a while. Bridging dev workflow and 'rest of business' workflow shows vast inefficiency gaps all over the place for the latter. I feel the trail of decision-making goes missing at the moment too.

JetBrains has their own tool called 'Toolbox' to install and update their software (and Android Studio). With Toolbox you are in control when and what to update and you can install multiple versions at the same time.

It's distributed as AppImage for Linux. Very much recommended.
Thanks, that's a much clearer way to think of it.
that’s not so self-evident. reaction time is a property of the driver, not the speed. slower speeds can lull drivers into slower reaction times, so it’s not so obviously asymmetrical. drunk drivers tend to drive slower than normal but have higher fatality crash rates, for example.

active driving and avoiding distractions (including drugs) are the difference makers, not speed limits. the reason people oppose this is because they want to treat driving like lounging by the pool, rather than operating machines that collectively kill a million people a year.

"You cannot use confidence intervals to argue the validity of a point estimate inside of the CI."

You're using a Bayesian method, so you have a posterior distribution. You can sample from it.

"And no, just because 1.5% is in the 95th percentile of the posterior prevalence, does not mean you can say that 1.5% is a valid estimate."

You told me that was the confidence interval on the parameter. The confidence interval contains the point estimate for the original study. It's as valid as any other point within the confidence interval. As you say: "you cannot use confidence intervals to argue the validity of a point estimate inside the CI".

"What the CI shows is that, with 97% confidence, the prevalence is somewhere between -0.3% and 1.7%."

Which includes 1.5%.

The comment you're replying to also really helps push that "Asians are just single-minded and only care about Harvard" stereotype as well. Ironic since the comment that poster was replying to was about college admission in general, and they fixated on the harvard aspect.

We're "model minorities." We get discriminated against and then get used as examples for those in power to discriminate against other minorities. It's a system where everyone has been convinced that true meritocracy (which is not incompatible with affirmative action when you control achievements for the background of the student) can only be achieved through lateral violence where Asians win and blacks and Latinos lose, all the while those who benefitted most from a legacy of colonialism and oppression can't lose. Let's also not forget that of the white students at these elite schools, wealthy whites are greatly overrepresented, leaving poor deserving whites to fight for scraps as well (look at the data in the article on admission rates after discarding legacy admissions). So another form of class-based oppression can breed there in the guise of race-based rhetoric where again for Asians to be treated properly, even if on paper whites would give up seats, it's the ones who are also fighting to get in on merit and are discriminated against by a classist (as opposed to racist) system. Divide and conquer.

I am making a custom c++ 3D game engine using openGL right now and it's a massive undertaking. I have a lot of respect for folks like Jonathan Blow who manages to be an incredible game designer while also being a super programmer.
In my case, i just decided to give it a try because if i ever watch an engine/game maker software tutorial again i will most likely throw up.The amount of trivia knowledge you need to have to make something in those engines is huge and usually non transferible between them.
Also if you want to make sure you will provide the absolute best experience possible for your players, you need to have control of the low level stuff. I may be wrong but i don't think Unity allows you that kind of control. Two examples are Subnautica and Firewatch, while being excelent games in their own way, fail miserably in loading up the game assets in time after player spawn (subnautica mostly) and are filled with visual artifacts and texture problems (both games) while The Witness does not give you even the smallest hickup whatsoever.

This isn't quite right. For one, the probability of being infected is not linear (it's capped at 1). If you do the math, the expected number of people you infect (given you are not infected) is roughly linear-ish.
