Whenever these threads pop up I always ask: is there an erlang/elixir implementation anyone knows about? I check every couple of months and come up empty (there is one closed source one.) Being able to speak WebRTC natively to a Elixir/Phoenix cluster would be a pretty killer app, but the hurdle to get there is quite high.

Tray.io | London | BE Engineer (Scala/Java) | FE Engineer | Product Designer| QA Analyst | SDET Full-time | Onsite | https://tray.io
Tray is a visual programming platform. It’s a low-code user experience that allows anyone to build business logic that precisely defines how data flows through their organisation.

We know this is a stressful and uncertain time for everyone; we endeavour to stay strong during this period. We are well funded, with two recent rounds behind us; the latter to make a statement we wanted to remain independent, so we have a large cash runway.

We’ve worked hard on creating a fantastic support layer and business continuity plans for our technical teams and we’re continuing to expand and empower.

We are excited by people who want to constantly innovate; borrow from other industries, experiment with new tools and pool their knowledge with other solution seekers; people who have shipped entire projects with ownership and autonomy; people who take pride in what gets built, all the whilst balancing day-to-day pragmatism with building for the future.

For each of those there was a clear perf advantage on the transition though.
I'm responding to this specific claim:

> The fact that the central authority made the right call in this instance doesn’t ultimately mean that the central authority isn’t still dangerous.

> I hope this serves as a wake-up call to everyone who got scared by this.

In this comment, "central authority" means ICANN, who has oversight over registry operations, not the .org registry themselves.

I am reading this comment as saying that the very idea of having a centralized authority like ICANN is dangerous and we need something else (like a blockchain or whatever). I am claiming that it's fine because the alternatives are all worse.

The next comment tried to say, well, in the case of physical housing, your landlord or city doesn't have total control. But the landlord or city is not in the place of the "central authority" here - they are analogous to a registrar or registry. In the same way that my national government is flawed but better than not having one, ICANN is flawed but better than not having it.
That's in fact my exact point. It doesn't let you move somewhere else because local governments have set themselves up to only be accountable to a small group of people that already live in the city. (AKA fuck you, I got mine)

If housing costs were lower, more people would be able to move to the bay area and take advantage of the incredible wealth creation and job opportunities available.

I wouldn't be shocked if the bay areas housing policies were responsible for the loss of 1 percent of GDP growth every year in this county.
If I may ask, what are the benefits of building this app in LispWorks instead of any other implementation (sbcl or else)?

Scaling AWS costs to match the business; based on learnings at Netflic
I like the example based approach. I learn from examples far quicker than I learn from “explanations”. If I attempt to learn from an example and my brain hits an exception, only then do I start reading the supporting text.

Nice approach. You’ve made a valuable thing and implemented a powerful idea.
I apologize if I offended you. That certainly seemed like what you were saying. The take is not new, and has been circulating among the "open up" community for a while.

As far as whether ventilators have "probably resulted in excess deaths"... that's just not justified by any science yet. We don't know. There's some suspicion in that direction, based mostly on New York ICU fatality rates (which are quite high despite otherwise good numbers through the rest of the process). But there's equally good evidence from e.g. Milan, which experienced very high death rates due presumptively to lack of treatment hardware.
So we're talking about a big return on ... a small piece of their portfolio?

That seems very, selective.

Starting an insurance company is surely a lot more tightly regulated than starting a fund.

There are various values for "you" here: The professional who manages the fund day-to-day needs to be paid no matter what the company says it does. The owners have a choice of whether to sell the car-insurance side of their business. And people looking to start a new business from scratch have different concerns.

Speaking how one party can better conform to the other party's requirements is not an honest description of both perspectives.

Bad lending is better attributed to a mistaken belief that borrowers can be perfectly modeled to reduce variance. The economic crunch we're currently facing has been directly caused by cheap credit based on such assumptions which, once again, turn out to be suddenly correlated.
This is one of those of those proposals that allows the pats in the back to go round, but which are in fact completely useless because in effect it is just a windfall for people who did not ask for anything and who did not need any help.
Yes. We spent as much time testing our alarm and monitoring system as we did doing gas delivery changes. And even on the gas delivery side, simple things like the patient changing positions while the ventilator delivered a breath could be damaging without following the standards explicitly. I think there are about 2 or 3 thousand different little functional requirements for building a ventilator. It took us about a year to get to first prototypes and then another year to get to the first passing of our system-level tests.

Even just our alarm system was very complicated, with cross-checking alarms and even cross-checking that the audio was indeed playing back. Things like playback tones and frequencies and alarm indicator colors and flash frequencies are highly regulated with relevant standards. And nuisance alarms are almost more important to avoid than having enough actual alarms. No alarm is as useless as the one the clinician turns off because it's the 4th time this hour it's gone off and the patient has been fine every time.

These are not easy devices to build, and selling something that doesn't meet the applicable standards and isn't substantially equivalent to something marketed today is unlikely to be particularly safe. You can easily do more harm than good by giving someone an untested ventilator.
It's even more powerful when you can have a length in your header and match the binary length to the value inside the binary

The major advantage to all this is that by being declarative you aren't going to mess up with binary codecs by getting lost in piles if statements to validate your binary lengths and prevent strange packets from messing up your system.

It has an unmatched combination of stability, productivity, performance, observability and ecosystem size. There are few if any platforms that offer.

What are the best resources to learning WebRTC at the minute?

It seems to be a pretty fast moving area, a lot of what I find out there is outdated.
Hey, I ran this by the DOKS team and they confirmed that this was taken care of a while back. Just to clarify, that issue existed while the product was in Limited Availability (think alpha). Nodes are now bootstrapped in a different way that eliminates the need to expose sensitive info in metadata or anywhere within the cluster itself.
This method is highly path dependent and needs low volatility to work. It requires that the market not just fall, but rather fall suddenly. And it req. a vix be around 15 or so. The tail method would have failed from 2000-2008, which was a period of weak stock market returns but no sudden drops like in 2008 or 2020. The tail fund needs a very sudden drop to make those huge returns but also very low volatility proceeding the drop. The market falling 20% over a 1-year period like in 2000,2001, and 2002 would incur both losses for the tail part and losses for the equity part, versus a 20% decline in a month. From 1997-2003 volatility was quite high so the method would have done badly too. It would have done badly from 2003-2008 due to losses from the hedge.

http://greyenlightenment.com/does-tail-hedging-work-it-depen...

The tail hedge method loses 10% a year from option decay assuming that 1% of the portfolio is invested in such options and the rest in stocks. That is very substantial over the long term if there are no sudden crashes.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
> What region doesn’t have it?

Different regions have been infected to different degrees; in the worst hit areas like New York City up to 25% of the population may have caught it by now, but in many (most?) regions less than 1% of the population has been exposed so far.

> What model shows we aren’t near peak death now?

The question is, "What are you modeling?" Are you modeling what happens if the pandemic is contained at this point, and infection rates stay constant, or are you modeling a fast or slow spread to "herd immunity" (currently estimated at 85% of the population catching it)? In some situations, sure, it's almost over, in others, holy shit, it hasn't really started yet, this is the calm before the storm.

> there were also a lot of sincere people just trying to get out of the rat race.

With the relatively small start-up costs, if you can limit the downside risk it's worth a shot. But as with anything with a low barrier of entry people grossly miscalculate the odds of success - easy to begin does not equate to easy to win.

AArch64 is pretty clean. I'd be surprised if their cores ran AArch32.
Maybe.

My concern would be the lagging nature of the indicator. If Georgians start loosening up on self-imposed restrictions after a week or two of being cautious, and case numbers lag by two weeks or so, we're talking about a month or more before we get warning signs that Georgia might wind up a "don't do this" case study.

It is my hope that Georgia demonstrates "wear a mask and be careful" can work to stem the spread of the virus and we can all relax a bit. I don't know how likely that is.
No, I just want an issue board where I can view/assign/create issues across users and projects, with common labels - so I have one board with todo/doing/blocked/in-review/done.

Ideally with a filter on which projects to show.

This works for hierarchical structures today, but not across them. (I'm not sure the current data model is easy to bend into this, so it's understandable - it's just one of the few things we've seen that would let us to more of the project mgmnt in gitlab directly).
Yeah, but probably with a specific browser/os configuration, on high speed office internet.

Pretty common to find large websites that just happen to not work right in browser configurations that don't match their developer configuration even if they aren't obscure.
Yes, they should quarantine until they're able to get a test and test negative. We have a lot of evidence of asymptomatic and presymptomatic spread.

> If you're "searching" the logs as part of your normal IRC routine, you're using IRC incorrectly.

I fully agree, nobody wants to search IRC logs for technical information about a project.

If the only documentation about a technical decision in an open source project is an IRC discussion, then that project is just doing open source wrong. Those logs are at best hard to search for, and more often than not, non-existent.

When we have "online" meetings (IRC / Discord / Zulip / Matrix / Zoom / ...) to discuss technical issues in our open source projects, we always publish a full summary of the meetings so that everyone who wasn't there can read them and follow the rationale, or raise issues with it.

> The idea that lots of companies and banks were over extending themselves seems unsupported, I think that large corporations were sitting on record cash stockpiles when this hit, no? Also there is no talk of a bank bailout, the banks are solvent in spite of this crisis right now.

Have you followed what the federal reserve has been doing in the last few months?

- 1% federal rate cut (the maximum cut during 2008 was 0.5%)
- UNLIMITED QE (this has never happened before)
- Purchasing of fallen angels (companies which recently had bonds downgraded to junk)
- Purchasing junk bond ETFs

Also, have you been following the amount of downgrades on corporate debt? Did you know that the airlines that are now asking for bailouts did leveraged (IIRC) stock buybacks with most their profits over the last decade? Buybacks are similar to dividends, but doing them with borrowed money or without sound cash reserves is fiscally irresponsible.

It is a fact that companies and banks were extending themselves, the proof is in the evaporation of bond yields and the collapse of the credit market, which is what the fed is responding to.

Despite all this, there are banks that are seeing 45%+ profit losses -- JPM is one of the biggest (definitely too-big-to-fail) banks and saw a 69% profit loss.

> Seem like the "cheap money is good" argument is actually stronger here, the real wage gains over the cheap money period insulated a lot of people against the slow roll out of support because they were in better financial positions than they would be otherwise.

What are you talking about? I don't think I understand this argument, are you implying that real wages have grown significantly enough to protect the regular house hold? I can't read this any other way so I'll assume you are, and leave you some numbers on inflation-adjusted hourly wage growth versus productivity growth[1]. Real wage growth has not grown enough to keep families afloat, otherwise we wouldn't need helicopter money[2] except for the most fiscally irresponsible households.

> Airlines are a good example of underlying issues exposed by the crisis, but airlines are a quite small part of the economy and are notoriously poorly run, it certainly has exposed them!

Commercial aviation accounts for 5% of the US's GDP[3]. This is not a small amount.
