Where is this study on CNN and other MSM? Seems like a hit piece on Fox....

CNN is one of the biggest liars and spreader of fake news. Fox is considered "right" Why would this study only target Fox? Seems disingenuous, or flawed imho.
> I don't think you can assume that non-covid-19 causes should be lower than previous years.

Sure, I agree that it's very uncertain.

However, if that's the case, then that just furthers my point, because it means that Sweden is overreporting covid-19 cases, and is actually doing even better than official stats say they are.
The use case is to allow telcos to put cable companies out of business with millimeter wave antennas to the home. Basically rebuild the bad old AT&T.

5G is critical infrastructure needed to beat the Chinese. Go America. So it gets to bypass pesky state utility regulation.
Interesting experience! Do you know if what you saw was the same as the product that shipped (magic leap one)? If not, what were the differences?
It makes sense to me that DNA is like a config file, while the molecules mentioned in the article are source code, the ‘sensors’ are like a makefile, and the cellular machinery that does the work of reproduction is like the compiler.

You need all of the pieces to get a working compiled copy of the program. You can change a lot about the end program by modifying the config file, but you can’t necessarily change the structures themselves. Likewise, you can infer a lot about the end product by examining the config file, but you cannot reproduce it without a compiler, source code, and a makefile.

Maybe you can even use a compiler from a distant fork together with source code from another, if enough of the language spec is compatible. Or you could cleverly copy pieces of config files from an unrelated project to create a similar change in your project.

I respect lowtechmagazine's experiment: it's designed to make you think, and it succeeds.

But CPUs have an incredibly high embodied energy, we should aim for full utilization of servers, regardless of the source of that energy.

If it's three CPUs with carbon-neutral electricity, or one CPU with electricity from coal, the latter is the responsible choice.

> people are spending much more time with their loved ones

Some people, maybe. I live by myself. The rest of my family lives two states away. I normally drive to visit them several times each year. I've already been forced to cancel one planned visit and it's difficult to say when the next one will be. My parents at least have each other, but they miss spending time with their grandchildren (my nephews). Likewise for my grandparents. The occasional group video calls are nice but just not the same.

I hardly think my case is unique. People are spending more time with people they live with, because they're forced to stay at home. That may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the situation. I'm sure it's caused problems for people suffering from domestic abuse, for example. One's loved ones need not live in the same house—and the people you live with may not be your loved ones.

> people have much more time to explore their passions and hobbies like instruments and drawing

Not if they're working remotely—you don't necessarily have more free time just because you're at home all day. For the rest, they could have had that time before just by quitting their jobs. Certainly the extra free time and lower pollution are something of a silver lining, but let's not pretend that this is a net improvement compared to the way things were before. Being forced to stay home is not something people would have chosen out of preference.
Go code often reinvents/reimplements a lot of things from scratch, reintroducing problems that have been addressed long ago in other systems.

Seconding the recommendation to check out Surface! From the docs:

Surface is a server-side rendering component library that allows developers to build rich interactive user-interfaces, writing minimal custom Javascript.

Features:
* An HTML-centric templating language with built-in directives (:for, :if, ...) and syntactic sugar for attributes (inspired by Vue.js).
* Components as modules - they can be stateless, stateful, renderless or compile-time.
* Declarative properties - explicitly declare the inputs (properties and events) of each component.
* Slots - placeholders declared by a component that you can fill up with custom content.
* Contexts - allows a parent component to share data with its children without passing them as properties..
* Compile-time checking of components and their properties.
* Integration with editor/tools for warnings/errors, syntax highlighting, jump-to-definition, auto-completion (soon!) and more.

The amount of professional-grade hand-wringing virtue-signaling in this comment section makes me feel ill.

Why get bent out of shape over the name of a software project? It's virtually a meaningless factor in day-to-day life.

What about hearing phrases "Sacrificing a Chicken to Moloch," the "spirit cooking" culture and related symbolism rampant in elite political circles? Shouldn't we be more interested in that?

Lots of low-hanging fruit to pick, I guess. Someday I might unlock the "downvote" ability on this platform. Until then my opinions don't carry weight here. Also, uhh who decides the "threshold" for downvoting? Hint: nobody knows. [0]

This platform has become more of an echo chamber than a host of rational discussion based on merit. I suppose that's a problem with growth.

There's a lot of conversation around "Moloch" as a name and the subsequent emotional responses... but not a lot of discussion about the tech at-hand. And it's a repost.

How to Make A Commercial From Home in 2020
i just dont agree with this at all. Mental models make no claims about expertise they are abstractions of accepted knowledge and capture the essence of something. They are, after all, called models. Maybe some have mis-appropriated mental models as being as short cut to expertise they simply arent and cannot be. They are simply models, abstractions of what is known. I dont think anyone is saying you will be smarter but you may be enlightened. Models are good at this. Imagine an abstraction of a computer. when all you know is that a computer is a box then your awareness of what that means is restricted to a cable coming our of a box with a switch in it. Take that a level deeper. look at the abstract model of computer architeture and you are then enlightened with the knowledge that there is a processor that calculates things, there is storage to store things you may want to use and there are primitive outputs for graphics and input from a keyboard or mouse. You dont need to know about nand gates, clean room fabrication, cores, ALUs, storage topology of anything to gain some valuable insight from this abstract model. Indeed im pretty sure many succesful software engineers dont really delve much deeper than this but the model, nevertheless, is useful. I cannot guarantee everyone will understand the model but i know many will and i know it will provide valuable insight. For me this is it with mental models. they convey the essence key information but absolutely not expertise and i am still wondering why many people, as you, are trying to argue the case from this perspective it simply isnt the case.
irrelevant but i remember a week ago someone on here said that books nowadays are written with the assumption that you would be in front of a computer to try the examples out. but decades ago, you read books in the evening and then come morning, you get to try out the code at the lab. authors today crammed so much in book than necessary.

> If they’re healthier, why is their life expectancy lower? Possibly they are less interested in prolonging life than we are. R&D write:

> Amish people are more willing to stop interventions earlier and resist invasive therapies than the general population because, while they long for healing, they also have a profound respect for God’s will. This means taking modest steps toward healing sick bodies, giving preference to natural remedies, setting common-sense limits, and believing that in the end their bodies are in God’s hands.

Permanent until it's gone
It's not quite that simple.

If you give people $2k and businesses nothing, people aren't going to spend that money on businesses. They're not allowed to do a lot of things they usually spend money on. Retail, restaurants, hotels, live entertainment, airlines, movie theaters, etc would go bankrupt en masse. I'm not sure that's actually a problem. The responsible businesses that had cash would buy the poorly managed businesses at a discount. Long term, this could possibly lead to even worse inequality. Not to mention, a lot of the jobs might be destroyed permanently.

I do agree that I think it would've been better for most people to only give people the money. There would still be a lot of losers.

On the simplest basis, most restaurants and hotels are small businesses. The majority of them would lose their business. $2k would do nothing for them. And the majority of these business owners are decidedly not rich.
I think it's obvious why FStop wasn't finished... It looks boring. The gist seems to be that you can use the device to move and resize objects. Kind of cool but looks hella tedious. I always assumed it was going to be about making different sized portals so you could change size of things (including yourself) by passing through.

Those non-euclidean rooms at the end of the video are sweet though. Honestly the most surprising thing is that we didn't actually see any of these in the portal games given that it's the same exact tech required to make it work as the portals themselves.

Edit: The concept looks boring, not the obviously unfinished tech demo
I quit my job a couple years out of school, and it didn't really change anything for me. The next jobs were no more satisfying and I didn't make great use of the downtime. One source of anxiety was traded for another. My career was derailed further, and major life milestones didn't happen for lack of money.

Yet perhaps it was unavoidable that one must go through self -discovery. Maybe you can do it more efficiently that I did.

One perspective I gained was that you aren't short in time to change your life even in your job. You lose even more time later, as work and family become more demanding. If I knew what I know now I could have just kept my job and worked on something on the side. I just didn't know what to work on back then.

I also didn't spend on myself. It would have been cheaper in the end to do so, in retrospect.

Anyway, you don't want to be jobless during a potential downturn. At least see it through the virus period.
I'm reminded of the discovery of the 'modern' variation on the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm. Both the original algorithm, and the improvement made in the variation, are so simple that it can be trivially understood, and makes one think Oh yeah. Neat. And kinda obvious. (I'd forgotten the particulars so I had to look it up on Wikipedia. Took me very little time to piece it back together.)

Clearly it's not totally obvious, or it would have made its way into the original paper. Still, the barrier to a Wikipedia-worthy computer science discovery, has risen somewhat since then.

Edit Come to think of it, this is a good example for explaining what we mean by 'improved algorithm' to non-software folks.

one major reason why our health insurance is high is because of its wide scope.

When you take car insurance, it does not pay for oil changes, tire repair etc, since these are considered regular maintenance. If you don't do this, then your car will fall apart faster and again, you are on your own...

Not a straight analogy, but if we make people pay on their own for regular visits, mandate tha they must visit a doctor (their choice) etc which they pay out of pocket -- then only unexpected events are actually covered by insurance -- and the cost is lower.

The employer spends less, and hopefully, a substantial portion gets back to the employee's paycheck.
I like that idea. I think there might be some risk that because all recipients receive the same encrypted text (encrypted by a different key for each recipient), a recipient may be able to discover other recipients' encryption keys. To avoid that, I think I would pad each encrypted text with random data, where each recipient gets different random data.

Then the problem boils down to key management, but Keybase has that figured out IMHO. :-) It would be amazing to see a collaboration between Jitsi and Keybase to build end-to-end encrypted video chat with high quality crypto.

Well I'm currently in school for a CS degree in SWE. I'm 25M currently attending a state college with hopefully 1 and a half years left if all classes align.

I didn't know what I wanted to do when I graduated high school. I just wanted to work. I tried community college but sorry burnt out. I tried business, welding, and IT. I passed a few classes, others I just quit attending. I had no goals or direction and super depressed I couldn't even get a job that made more than $11/hour. I worked probably 15 jobs total in my life by 21. In hindsight looking at it I think this mostly had to do with me wanting to be a priest but people talking me out of it. I struggled with religion ultimately just recanting allowing for myself to rebuild my purpose as a weird way of putting it.

I then got an assiciates degree in business and started working at a bank. From there I worked for a few years building up skills and experience. I got really good with Excel and realized a lot of what I was doing with the functions was very similar to programming. So the logic part and substituting variables was super easy for me to comprehend.

The thing I really appreciate about going back to school now is I know what's what. I know what matters and what doesn't. I had a fully laid out plan and understanding of the way in which I'd achieve my goal. It's so weird that the whole Corona issue didn't even put a dent in how I planned things out. I think it actually helped even get an internship. I'm still very green in terms of skill though. But I enjoy learning it because it's a skill. It's not like hypothetical nonsense they teach you in business classes.

In that case you are using hooks to manage your state and RxJS to abstract over the concurrent behavior. IIRC you can use a few things to handle concurrency for hooks like promises, Async/await, or callbacks.

Dolt is 'Git for Data'.

It's a tool to create SQL databases that you can push, pull, diff, branch, and merge. I created a Dolt repository to track the National Vulnerability Database. You can use SQL queries to find the latest security bugs, what software they affect, and how severe the issue is.

A washable, reusable, durable and fashionable face mask. I’d imagine this will become common place every flu season. The weirdness around it is gone in the West at this point.

It’s be great if they could make nice scarves with a patch that sort of acts like an n95. Then it would be same as bundling up with a scarf around your face in the winter. It would just look like a regular scarf.

> Apple is laying out a roadmap for exactly what Google needs to do with its own chips.

To ask the question: why would Google make better processors than Qualcomm?

Apple has immense economies of scale at the high-end because that's the only thing they sell. Google's processor would be more niche than Qualcomm's (since manufacturers would need a Qualcomm modem to go with it rather than just grabbing an integrated Snapdragon modem/CPU) and it would be smaller than Apple's in sales since high-end Android phones aren't the main part of that market. This seems like one of those instances where people believe that Google can do better in any market. Google is a great, smart company, but we've seen them fail a lot too. Android Wear didn't take off with Tizen becoming Samsung's wearable OS and Google eventually buying Fitbit. We saw Google buy Motorola just to sell them off as a failed experiment. We've seen Google Fiber stall out as Google couldn't make it work. The Nexus/Pixel line has been ok, but it hasn't changed the industry. Chromebooks seem to be fading.

Why should Google be able to enter the mobile CPU game and do better?

Not only that, but would manufacturers even want something better? Manufacturers want customers to keep buying new phones as often as possible. If Google comes out with a CPU that's 70% better and could last a customer for 4-5 years, would they want to buy it? Apple is really unique in that they're the only company really giving you a good experience for an extended period of time. But part of that is that Apple knows that a good device from them creates loyalty because there's no iOS alternative. If you're an Android manufacturer, you know that a customer's choice for their next device could be any number of different brands offering nearly identical Android experiences.

Does this even matter for Google? What part of Google's bottom line would this help? More people using Android devices certainly helps, but would a better processor convince iPhone users to move to Android?

I guess I'm failing to see how a better processor helps Google enough to justify spending all the R&D on it and why Google would be better at building this processor than the companies already creating mobile processors. For Apple, it gives them a differentiator and the ability to control their platform and their destiny - and likely control their laptop platform in the near future. They can specifically target the CPU and build what makes sense. For Android, this CPU might be 10% of Android devices, but it wouldn't become an assumption. It wouldn't create loyalty for a manufacturer since the same CPU/OS combo could be had via other options. We're just talking about increasing the price and complexity of a device they don't want to continue supporting anyway.

And I still haven't seen why Google would be able to beat Qualcomm, Samsung, HiSilicon, etc.
Usually you compress first then encrypt. Unencrypted data has better compression ratio.

Also modern video data is already compressed where most frames are difference data.
