You can't totally protect people of course, but there is also a difference between allowing people to watch only Fox News or only MSNBC, and having a content aggregator/search engine that silently shifts towards showing you only certain viewpoints, based on your existing views. Especially because such personalization can be done on an issue-level, whereas the biased news sources generally stick to a specific agenda set, which you may not neatly fall into.

Not saying it isn't possible to do something like this right but I think it would need to be done very carefully, because IMO it could also make things worse than just having an aggregator that is up front biased in a particular way.
Incredible resource - I liked the structured approach as opposed to guess and check regex which is what most tools offer

I am on the interview loop for this role and our team is actively interviewing and looking to fill these open roles.
Feel free to forward to any potential candidates.
I completely agree with you, they make perfect sense from a public health perspective and it was a major fck up by most of the health organisations World wide to say they wouldn't (if intentional or not doesn't really matter).

However I was replying to a comment that was implying surgeons are using them to protect themselves. That is just wrong. There are enough good arguments for masks, one does not need to make incorrect statements.
Y is definitely derived work.

The knowledge that "A = X(A1) xor Y(A2)" is also derived work. That fact will be known by someone, and will definitely be infringing.
My interest in POVRay helped me in my high school math classes: I was really into making animations in POVRay and at the time I was in calculus and it really made parametric equations "click" for me.
switching jobs is a promise of productivity. giving an individual company more productivity for free is bullshit -- get your comp adjusted as frequently as possible.

He's just noting how the article is focusing entirely on how this bill will affect journalists in particular rather than literally everybody.
It is not entirely clear what your original point was, as it apparently involves being certain that something is possible. Are you sure?

The possibility of there being a simpler solution does not justify your claim "there is ALWAYS an opportunity for a reduction to be discovered" (and you specifically capitalized ALWAYS so we wouldn't misunderstand you!)

It might not be what you meant, but it is what you wrote, and apparently what you are now trying to justify.

Furthermore, you were originally objecting to the statement that "the solution can be as simple as the problem but no simpler", but this is a reasonable statement given that, as we both seem to agree, there is no formal metric that captures the sort of complexity we are talking about here. Not being able to settle the issue formally would not mean that we cannot discuss it usefully, and a concept of complexity in which solutions can be simpler than problems would be a strange, and probably not useful, definition.

As others have pointed out, Fred Brooks wrote about the very useful, but informal, concepts of essential and accidental complexity, to make an important point. In being pedantic about the lack of a formal definition of such terms, you are avoiding (or, at least, unnecessarily complicating) the sort of issues he was discussing (and we are here).
If you designed a mainframe in the 70's, it didn't change. And so we are still running mainframes from the 70's today for critical infrastructure, government, financial, and educational work.
If "idiomatic code" comes with some downside that "escape hatches" overcome, then I see that could result in "escape hatches" being used.
`oc` does need a server for a lot of things, unfortunately. Just do a `oc [...] --loglevel=9` to see what it's doing.

98point6 is a Latacora client.

"... primary care as easy as googling something, without needing to make a financial tradeoff" is a great way to put it; their product is one of the best in the market (and I'm not just saying that as someone on the team, but also as someone who recently used a competing product because their healthcare plan suggested it).

As their security team we've interacted with pretty much every part of 98point6, but of course I can speak most cogently about what their security practice looks like. Everyone there has been a joy to work with. At the same time, they do the kind of no-nonsense technical delivery we like. This is an opportunity to work on one of the broadest issues in the US today, during one of the most important times to do it, with one of the best teams to actually get it done. And somehow they've managed to do it without turning themselves into a bureaucratic morass.

Happy to field questions. Contact info in profile if you'd prefer not to ask via comments.
It depends on the kind of work. Systems integrations are often complex for uncontrollable reasons. That one legacy system only speaks ASN.1, not JSON; the three vendor systems have different semantics for a fundamental concept (vendor, order, shipment); failure modes are under-documented, so defensive programming is needed; etc.

If we accept that the integration itself is necessary, then the complexity necessarily comes along with it. Not to mention all the complexity generated by the client base: I'm paying for this system, it's mine, so make it do X, even if you think X is too complicated/impossible/etc.
Highly unlikely. The big money sink is already spent (launching the satelites).
> Often some beaten up thing they probably paid €30-200 for at a flea market or bike shop

In Belgium, Belgian people buy mostly new ones in the range of 500-1000. People who don't earn much or students, buy the cheap/used bikes you mentioned.

Electrical bikes are > 2000 € and pretty popular.

In general, a whole family can bike together and it's very popular during the summer. We can bike were-ever we want during Covid as long as it's in the 25 km. range.

I actually have 2 bikes ( 1 normal and 1 race bike) and a bike lending subscription when friends come over ( 1 € / bike / 24 hours for 12€ / year)
That's a good distinction to make - but it's also unclear.

Will people go back on cruises in the same amounts? Will they pack a small enclosed bar or nightclub this winter?

Will companies that automate more functions today, re-hire those workers when this is over?

Some portion of those jobs may never return. It's very very hard to tell how many.
So internally, we're calling it the "task lifecycle". It's going to be a big feature, and the idea is to figure out the true development workflow (that works for 80% of users) and have statuses that update automatically based on Git. We're working on figuring out how to do this well enough, where the user doesn't have to go through complex configuration.
I think maybe I misread your comment, then. I thought you were saying that Le Figaro is mainstream and therefore not left-associated, as if these were separate categories.
The strategy recommended at the end with the “embrace it, give it the place it deserves” feels like the “eating your shadow” of design. It's also what I've been trying to approximate most of the time, and I appreciate the representation of it here.
> local disk. Where do you think their executables came from?

Just FYI, a lot changes in 5 years.
I need the following calendar states:

- Free
- Out of Office
- Busy
- Busy, but I can definitely reschedule this for the right reason

As someone with a very active calendar I often tell people "My calendar is up to date, but for this I'm also available at x, y, z if it works for you"

But I guess that depends on incorporate who's asking and what they are asking for..
I'm subbed to too many newsletters currently, and this is pretty much the only one I always read 100% of the way through.

There's something about it, the way it gives me the link to the thing first, the short summary with the occasional personal comment. It's just right.

Good job, Mattias!
You're right that human contact-tracing also has false positives/negatives. I think a better question is how does the error rate compare? The worry is that automated exposure tracking will pick up many more false positives than humans will because it's hard to judge how likely a transmission occurred. A phone doesn't know if there are barriers between people (walls, PPE).

The downside to a higher false positive/negative rate is that you'll create more false alarms. At some point, people will start ignoring false alarms. With phone tracking, you are probably trading off many more false positives for a couple fewer false negatives. It's unclear whether this tradeoff is worth it because we don't know how people will respond long-run to automated exposure notifications.
The title is catchy and it's not exactly wrong. There's an element of truth to it. And yet, 99% of the times I hear it, it's as an excuse for crap, not some fundamental truth.

Dirt has to live somewhere, too. That's a good motto for a garbage company, but if you hear a chef saying it in the kitchen while preparing your meal, you might be worried.
I suspect political leadership will avoid bringing up the abject failure of government to protect the elderly. Meanwhile they'll use this as an opportunity to ratchet up emergency power, make precedents, etc.
I think you're right, that you've had good luck;
the opposite scenario is that I go to work and there are numerous friendly folks for whom work IS their social outlet, so it's a super incoherent environment.
How will this play out when auto dealerships seek to unload their inventory? Will it be via lower prices, manufacturer incentives, zero percent financing for longer periods than normal?

I'm sure dealers will want manufacturers to share the burden with rebates. Financing incentives seem risky given the chance that jobs are not especially stable these days.

Does anyone remember what happened during the 08 recession? I imagine this is a more abrupt dropoff, and presumably will be a more abrupt sales pickup as well. How would that lead to a different result here?
Some complexity cannot be avoided, but that doesn't mean that complexity is a constant and removing it in one place necessarily means that it has to go somewhere else.

Background: I design medical devices like this for a living and have for nearly 20 years. I also want to applaud the efforts of everyone working to leverage their professional experience toward helping us all through this.

I agree with this comment 100%. What the world needs now is more of the ventilators we already have designed, not new designs. With any new medical device comes a bunch of teething pains, finding and fixing bugs in the hardware and software design, training, testing andd iterative improvement of all these things as new issues are identified. All of this requires significant clinical support and companies that do this stuff typically employ dozens of clinically trained folks to aid in the introduction and development of the clinical aspect of the device. All of this time and effort is just not available now, any and all clinical resources need to be focused on treating patients, not helping engineers find bugs in their systems.

I believe this because an alternative exists, we do not need to reinvent the wheel, we just need more of the wheels we've already invented.

To be clear, I do however believe there is a lot of value in investing heavily and exploring all potential novel treatments and devices that could help fight this. I just don't see a value add to designing new respirators vs. Just making more of the designs we have now. I could be wrong, there could be significant manufacturing or other clinical advantages which i am not aware of.
There is a 'Show Notes' section of that page that appears to be a summary.
Thank you very much for mentioning that to me, I didn’t realize that. I’ll make sure I’ll respect this in the future
> nothing wrong with dropshipping as a business model

Actually, that's the part I'm struggling to understand. Why isn't drop shipping automated? And what's stopping consumers from bypassing drop shippers altogether?
This is the opposite of what you want for a having nice software tools.
I entered some of those irtc comps. Povray appealed to the programmer and the artist in me. Writing algorithms (macros) in povray to create trees or place raindrops made you really look into how nature works. It's a challenge that requires a certain mindset.
2x more unemployment might be 10x worse, economically. It's not linear.
From what I've seen a lot of people solve needing ad-hoc queries with NoSQL by exporting everything to a data warehouse.

Great two-player board games to play with your partner
UK folk living abroad, often in Spain, definitely refer to themselves as ExPats.

Me? I moved from the UK to Finland, and I'm definitely an immigrant. (As are most of the people living in the part of the city I'm in. Weird.)
Thanks for taking the time to type out this response. I had scanned the paper you posted and failed to make the link between success to isolate and adoption of the app. It's messy and a bunch of factors come into play, I now understand this better.

I don't oppose a tracking app (it could be an api baked into the os but let's call it an app to simplify things). Maybe I'm wrong but that paper only addressed the (bio)tech side of things instead of also considering the sociological implications.

If governments rely on this app to do the work of human tracers, I think the initial adoption rate will be high but then fall dramatically. This is the sociological effect I'm talking about. What happens if the app flags them as possibly infected? Can they call a hotline to give them information or is it just some automated crap they hear? How many times do you think someone would get a false positive before they uninstall it? It works using bluetooth. How much power drain on their batteries are they willing to accept?

I see this app as an aid to human contact tracing not as a replacement. Maybe this is a naive interpretation, but I see it more useful in this situation:

vector: "On date X I met with Zoe, Alec and Ronnie"

tracer: "There's a fourth with the same timestamp here"

vector: "A fourth?? I don't remember a.. Oh... right... uncle dave was also there"

The problem is companies and some governments have abused privacy information and now the consequence is that people are more reluctant to give this useful info. That's why you need to study this also from a sociological point of view.
I prefer seeing the multi-line string trimmed to the current indent level. I wouldn't call it messed up.
