From everything I've read, the hospitals in Lombardy could have surged even higher. Hospitals, in general, can expand care to many more people than they're scoped to handle. It means that each person gets worse quality care, but for an untreatable disease, there's little you can do to treat it anyway. Ventilator mortality is extremely high. My sense is ballpark 80% mortality rate, and that's just an average. With ventilator + age + pre-existing conditions assessment there's a large number of people that have extremely low chances of survival. At the level of triage decisions being made, I'd expect very few additional lives to have been lost.

I get that this is tragic. I get that people are dying. I get that this is an enormous mental and emotional toll on doctors. I get that we should be cautious and avoid needless exposure, especially to vulnerable populations or with unnecessary large social gatherings. But the lockdown is not saving lives. It's delaying inevitable deaths, at an economic cost which could kill even more people!
The problem isn't finding ideas, but finding ideas that other people haven't already thought and wrote about, or patented. Indeed, the crawl to the precipice of knowledge in a domain can take years. There are only so many shortcuts, no matter how much pruning of the tree of knowledge you do, the path will only get longer. In fact, a great deal of effort goes into re-inventing the discoveries of others, hidden from them by language, disciplinary perspective.
> How flexible is Hugo? And how many plugins does someone generally use?

It processes Markdown, JSON, YAML and SASS, can pull in data files from URLs, and has custom templates/themes, custom macros/shortcuts, image processing and live reload. It doesn't have a plugin system as far as I know but nothing stops you combining Hugo with other tools e.g. run a JS script to pull in and transform a JSON file before Hugo runs.
Good counter-example. The reason is leverage. FitBit had nothing to leverage, whereas Watch had iPhone, Apple's manufacturing prowess, and Apple's entire market presence. There's a part of the essay that covers the leverage piece, but the quote that most applies (and may be most controversial here on HN) is:

> "a lack of leverage is one reason why category-defining products are rarely created by brand new startups."

This idea of course is distressing to product creators. You can create great products (focused, well-executed, nails the need) that don't succeed. Business can be pretty unfair like that.

You can only punch so far above your weight before reality comes crashing in. On the flip-side, if you are a huge company, this new market might not be worth the distraction (amongst your existing priorities). But if you are just the right size, with the correct competencies, gaining traction in the market will not only be attractive but will be something the company is actually capable of achieving. Of course companies grow and shrink in their capacity, so that is the luck of the timing.

Pretty sure there's no shareholder value in paying to preserve data for someone who's not paying fees and is not going to sue because they're dead. Those companies (or any for-profit entity) absolutely cannot be trusted to provide a service like this; their profit motive means they'll cheat, sooner or later.
Hmmm. Maybe. But also, some ideas get 'ploughed under' by time. Also, many new ideas require re-stating as they get older.

The thing about Tesla, is that, to me, stock in them would feel like a consolation prize for not being able to own part of SpaceX.

I can't see the future, and I can't see what is special about Tesla. It's clear in hindsight that the existing automakers have had difficulty competing, but I can't put my finger on what makes them different, nor do I like the idea of a car company that operates like Apple.

By contrast, it's obvious why SpaceX is different than any other aerospace company, but the hoi polloi can't own a piece.
It's also a hindrance to in-order implementations that have a different number of branch delay cycles (e.g. different number of pipeline stages or instructions taking a variable number of cycles) than the original implementation.

Branch delay slots were a somewhat clever solution to reduce the complexity of the original implementation, but they baked implementation details into the ISA and became problematic when the implementation details changed.
This kind of "top-to-bottom" architecture approach reminds me of Apple. They have this notion that you can't provide a good product if you control only the software or only the hardware. You need full control of both, designing in the synergies to produce a really top-notch outcome.

If you read the blogs by large shops like Google, CloudFlare, or Facebook, they do the same thing on the server side. They design the software for the failure modes of the hardware, and conversely the hardware is designed to be low cost in full knowledge that the software can tolerate high failure rates.

Why am I talking about hardware? Because in a typical n-Tier design, "The Database" is just one of the pancake layers between the metal and the Internet. Every layer matters, and every layer interacts with the others. Hearing developers call themselves "full stack" is hilarious to me. They're basically saying that they know 2 out of about 20 layers! Do they know about load balancing persistence? The security tradeoffs made by TLS 1.3 zero-RTT? Cache-control headers? Disk latencies? Automatic scale-out? Virtual machine affinity and anti-affinity rules? Backup and restore? Etc...

The original post about how various databases treat transaction isolation modes is a tiny, tiny fraction of what a typical developer ought to know about the "layers below the web server" but likely doesn't. For example, about 50-70% of bespoke software I've seen in the wild either doesn't use database indexes at all, or uses them ineffectively. About 80% of websites either do not use cache-control headers, or if they do, they'll often end up with front-end errors due to the caching layers violating the consistency of data coming in from the database. Sure, it's a maxim of the industry that cache invalidation is hard, but there are workarounds such as constructing URLs based on the content hash.

All of the fancy transaction isolation modes, to me, is wishful thinking. Get more developers to use indexes first, and then come back and teach them the esoteric stuff after that!
If Apple, Google, and Microsoft could catch these in-transit it would prevent a very large number of attacks. (And 100% of the devices I'm responsible for.)

Well, Belgrade is not nearly that old as Yerevan, although in its broader area were some of the oldest settlements in Europe, more than 7000 years old. However todays Belgrade fortress (called Kalemegdan) sits on the very same place where Celts built their fortification around 300 BC. In 2nd century BC Romans turned it into their city called Singidunum. Most of the today's fortress walls are from the medieval and later times, but some parts of the Roman walls are still visible today, and the big Roman well that was used to supply the city with water still exists and it's open to tourists. Unfortunately most of the roman structures outside the fortress are nowadays under the modern city of Belgrade, but the position and the layout of the fortress didn't change much. Danube and Sava rivers still run under it and the hill looks the same, so I presume that some ancient tourists wouldn't have hard time to recognize it immediately.
Security shouldn't be opt-in; you should be secure by default because most users will stay with the default (which is reasonable - the entire point of the extension is to prevent information leaks, and as the author you're the domain expert and your users should be able to trust your judgement which comes in the form of a default).

> People that are good, are good because they know precisely where the line between good and bad is, AND they've practiced "good" a LOT. Knowing is enough to articulate it. If you can't, you probably don't know it as well as you think.

Formula 1 contradicts you.

One of the things that made Michael Schumacher worth the exorbitant salary he got paid was that he could articulate what happened while he was driving on the track in such a way that engineers could make relevant changes.

Ferrari had lots of really good drivers, but it took Schumacher until they had somebody who could communicate with the engineering team such that they could actually improve the car.
It’s a combination of message passing to distributed nodes AND hot reloading. The compiler guarantees would only work on your current node, but if you were sending something to another node in the cluster you have zero knowledge of the types without forcing a full contract exchange on connection.

There’s a lot of problems introduced by that.

It has been known for five days or so that the problem is the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide passing between capillaries and red blood cells that is being hindered. The faster your blood is moving, the harder it is to exchange gases. If blood thinners result in lower blood pressure, that would make diffusion better. Because it is blood first and not lung first oxygenation issues, this would be why ventilators are dangerous to use (more stress on lung capillaries and higher blood pressure would be worse than not). This would also be the basis of why proning works. Eat some saffron and lay on your stomach with a bipap?

Same reason why stuff like VLIW has failed to catch on. These things are so dependent on specific hardware implementation details that one can hardly call them general-purpose ISA's anymore.
The argument is basically a debased take on Wittgenstein’s Ladder, which is itself an incompleteness theorem over the manifold of information.

That's a racist argument, especially when looking at how Western ag farming practices have led to many epidemics and illnesses. We are all in this boat together but unlike most Western countries with lots of variety people would actually starve given that wet markets are their sole place to get food. No need to repeat Mao.
There is some definite bias here. I can assure you that San Diego was inhabited by the native people long before 1789. They might not have called it San Diego, but they certainly had a concept of settlement.

1789 is more like their colonization year, not their settlement year.
Absolutely! But you’re looking at it from the perspective of “calendar blocking will cause me to end a task early”. The perspective where this is beneficial is “calendar blocking enables me to at least have this much uninterrupted time on a task”.

In these cases, no. There is no substantial difference. It's the same situation, with people of an incompatible culture showing up in large numbers and then expecting to control society.

It never goes well for the population already there.

Let’s not just target Go with that sentiment, it applies almost universally, just in varying degree.

... which is probably the reason so many wealthy-ish are against UBI. A lot of jobs would have to be paid their actual worth and in improved conditions (farming, nurses, education, trash/sewage, "nannies", cleaning, meatpacking) if those working the jobs would do it out of passion instead out of the need to survive.

An awful lot of the wealth in Western states is based on this exploitation.
> The vast majority of student loans are guaranteed by the federal government. The banks take zero risk on these loans

Do you have a source for this? I can't confirm it. As an example, this description implies that the guarantee is for 97% of outstanding principal:
https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-is-federally-gu...

Assuming something close to that, the bank is out 3% of the principal, plus any accumulated interest-- which I would guess is usually substantial, because payments are typically deferred while the student is in school, but the bank's been paying the fed interest during that time period.

So I don't have all the numbers, but on the face of it, it doesn't seem totally ridiculous that a secured loan like a mortgage would fetch a better rate than student loans that aren't fully guaranteed.

That's odd. Are you one of the original authors? The CFT project list had Moloch on it. I'll try and dig it up, it's probably floating around my Google Drive. You may want to speak with Eoin Miller, as I believe he was the point of contact for the project in the document I'm thinking of.
I’m yet to figure that out! I’m procrastinating on that but until I have everything else figured out (it’s for a family member so no strict timeline). I’m thinking in the end the setup will be something with a CMS for editing the photo metadata, a file storage system for the images, and everything else in git. The build would pull from all 3, run and then the processed images will be pulled out and hosted on their own. I’m planning that it’ll just run and take a long time on a droplet unless I figure something better out.
I'm all good with Sweden doing what it wants, it's nice to see a country stand up for it's own values and culture and laws in the face of a deadly virus and find an outcome that works.

Pushing a weak argument about the virtues of science as a reasoning for doing so seems a bit much.

Australia will go as long as necessary, it is taking this opportunity to do the largest economic reform in 30 years. Australia relies on reform to stop itself from becoming the 'poor white trash in asia' (Lee Kuan Yew). Reductions in corporation tax, strengthening of unions and many more changes. Retail had been slowing down pre-covid and the mining is out of it's boom cycle. There has been rumblings for change coming for a while and all this lockdown is a great way to rejig the setup. We are setting up our agriculture to boom in the 30s so in the long term we should be okay.

> Thus emphasizing the importance of controlled trials and regulatory bodies.

Funny, you give the results study that did not used controlled trials to justify emphasizing the importance of controlled trials. Even further, this study was not non-peer reviewed, or published (see https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/21/health/hydroxychloroquine...)

All they did here was to review charts of people already treated and try to base their conclusions on only that. Even the study itself admits (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.16.20065920v...):

However, hydroxychloroquine, with or without azithromycin, was more likely to be prescribed to patients with more severe disease, as assessed by baseline ventilatory status and metabolic and hematologic parameters. Thus, as expected, increased mortality was observed in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine, both with and without azithromycin.

There are a lot of people right now, including the MSM, dismissing of HCQ. I don't think that is warranted at this point. And I hate to see the media, who is heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry, who has a interest in preventing a cheap treatment from being widely used, downplaying HCQ and the public going along with it.
This is something that is addressed in the show! Pulling all my knowledge from just TOS and TNG;

There are 3 broad cases:

1. Something goes wrong during transport and the person cannot be rematerialised. Typically they end up "stuck" in the pattern buffer of the transporter. Some fiddling and plot tension allows them to complete transport by the end of the episode

2. A partial transport leaves some part of the person behind. This is where you can end up with weird things like piles of sludge on each end, or evil doppelgängers who are mostly the same, but only some features were transported

3. Unknown phenomenon that creates a duplicate. The original has general "failed to transport" experience, while the clone has a complete experience and is so none the wiser that "they" also got left behind.

From this we know that the pattern buffers can absolutely be used to store "backups". This is even discussed at some points after a crew member unexpectedly dies. However what complicates matters is that typically the patterns rapidly lose coherence in the buffers. Whether this happens immediately or after many years is left up to the plot requirements. Generally it seems that unused transporters will hold the last pattern they transported as long as their power supply is stable and are not travelling through space. Anything involving warp, fluctuating power, or transporting other people immediately clears the buffers (and can even cause transporter failures)

Maybe it has changed, or maybe it depends on what level of IP you're licensing. The company I worked at in 2006-2009 had gone with MIPS because they were incorporating that with all sorts of other logic (from third parties plus custom) and the cost for that type of license from Arm would have bankrupted them instantly.
I guess this means the PNG reader in the article example ignores the CRC-32? I wonder if a smarter reader could warn on error, assume a bit flip and iterate to see if any one flip causes a CRC-32 check to no longer mismatch (what's embedded)?

Of course, the embedded CRC-32 checksum itself could have been corrupted.

While I agree this is better a function of filesystems, images invariably are written to FAT from the get go. And the default filesystem offerings on most OS's lack error detection: NTFS, APFS, and ext4 being top three. There are a few Linux distributions, most notably openSUSE, that defaults to Btrfs which has checksums for everything. (I'm not certain whether FreeBSD defaults to UFS or ZFS; of course ZFS also checksums everything.)

Probably groups with 6 or so members are alright, but the more people your group has, the more joining/parting there is. And the larger the effort is to distribute a new set of keys. So if you want your method to be scalable (and some telegram rooms have tens of thousands of members!), you need strategies like this.

PAR2 or most file compression formats can fit the bill. Of course if it's going to stay put a filesystem that does this might be more convenient.
Go also commits another un-Unix-y sin, in my opinion, in that it doesn't respect kernel keepalive. In other words, you can't use sysctl to configure it. Every single Go app has its own behaviour, requiring a recompile to change.

As far as remember, Go didn't enable TCP keepalives until 2018.
