It would give you more torque, so you will see this in windmills that require a lot of starting power such as water pumpers. For other purposes efficiency of extraction is more important than starting torque. Wind does not 'pass through unimpeded', the speed of the mill is carefully calibrated to slow down the maximum amount of air without causing it to pool behind the machine. That is precisely why there is a maximum amount of energy that can be extracted to begin with.
Those two cases sound rather different based on the intent.

> The filthy European socialist in me naturally responds "Great, so have the government actually do its job and provide UBI or some other form of financial support, and permit going outside so long as safe distances are maintained, and you've solved a large chunk of the latter problems while still minimizing infections" - but I know that that's sadly unlikely.

Haha, exactly that. I have issues with the ethics of the government "manufacturing" a problem and then riding in to solve it, even though I personally support UBI, so I'm against rolling it out under these conditions. But more broadly, echoing what you said, we know at least in the US that the government would completely fuck it up.

> If I could summarize your argument, it appears to be that "a large segment of the population are at low-risk from infection, and unemployment (which quarantine often causes) and isolation have a larger negative impact on mental health"? That certainly hangs together.

Exactly that. In particular I've been talking a lot about suicides and overdoses but the next thread for me to pull on is the mortality due to social isolation itself. We know that social isolation is heavily correlated with worsened outcomes for pretty much every disease, but it's probably hard to find research putting a number on it.

But anyway, I really do think the important point to decide on is basically: "Is containment feasible?". If it is, then theoretically lockdown _could_ be worth it, although I oppose it on constitutional and ethical grounds to such an extent that I would never support it for anything short of the zombie apocalypse.

If containment is not feasible, which I think in the US is a totally foregone conclusion, then nothing we're doing is decreasing covid mortality at all. So all we're doing is introducing a net new category of lockdown-related mortality , which as I've said previously is actually nnot a big overlap with the covid mortality since a huge chunk of those dying from covid aren't in the workforce or will only be in the workforce for a few more years anyway.

BTW, not sure if you've seen the Dr Erickson / Dr Massihi video floating around (the one that Youtube has just censored), but I think it's really worth watching. They absolutely butchered the statistics, making a ton of imprecise and/or outright wrong statements, yet everything else they say about immunology and social isolation is entirely valid. And it's really that whole philosophy that we need people to understand: hiding inside, preventing exposure to pathogens, these are things that decrease our ability to defeat infection.

It's refreshing that the attitude you're describing in parts of the USA aligns with what we saw and heard in AU -- almost every comment is about the health and wellbeing of the children, and rarely included any consideration of the risks to the administration and teaching staff at the schools, the public transport workers moving the children to and from the schools, or the risks (mostly from) the parents doing pick-ups and drop-offs.
I was taking thunderf00t's comments on that as a chemist who claims to have worked with Hydrogen enough to be afraid of it. I don't know how fast natural gas disperses, but gas leaks have blown up houses, and cars are often in indoor garages and parking lots, workshops and occasionally car ferries, shipping containers, Eurostar train carriages, etc. which would contain gas more than the open air.

I agree. In order to get access to an API which enables you to proxy web requests through a network of participating consumer computers, I had to do a Zoom meeting a few years ago with the service provider.

Obviously their service could be used nefariously and they asked a few questions, wanted to see my office and validate a few things to ensure I was going to use it for valid purposes. (I used it to scrape publicly accessible data for research purposes).

Sometimes the low tech, manual human process is the best final filter.

UNIX was proprietary licensed code developed and owned by AT&T / Bell Labs. You had to pay for a license. The source was distributed to academic institutions and OEMs/VARs–but not always the customers of those OEMs/VARs. As such, in some ways it was less "open source" than Multics was–every Multics customer got the source, but not all end-users of UNIX (buying it through an OEM/VAR) did.

The first freely available (without paying for an AT&T license) distribution of BSD was Net/1 in 1989. (And even that was under a legal cloud which was not resolved until the USL vs. BSDi lawsuit was settled in 1994.) Active development and marketing of Multics was terminated in 1987, although bug fixes continued to be made for existing customers until the last customer site shut down in 2000. So the statement that "UNIX is open source but Multics is not" wasn't true in the relevant timeframe, and differences in source model aren't a good explanation of the failure of Multics vs. UNIX's success.

> BSD was "open source" even in 1978 because Bill Joy did nothing to verify that recipients of BSD source had AT&T Unix source licenses.

I haven't heard before the claim that Bill Joy distributed BSD to non-licensees–which, if true, probably violated the license agreement his employer signed with AT&T. (Prior to Net/1, BSD lacked a clean separation between code originally developed by Berkeley, and modified AT&T code). If a person distributes source code in violation of license agreements, does that make the source code "open source"?

I wonder if people in 1918 thought the same thing. And then the only impact the Spanish flu had on me was it was mentioned in passing in outdated middle school "social studies" books.

A lot of people live in so-called "food deserts" [1]. That means they don't have access to fresh produce or bulk ingredients like milk, flour, eggs, beans, rice, pasta, or potatoes. Instead, they're stuck with convenience store food which is mostly junk food.

If they wanted to buy healthier food they'd have to travel a long way to reach a grocery store, a problem greatly exacerbated for those who do not own a car. It's not easy to carry home 10lbs of potatoes and 10lbs of beans by public transit, let alone on foot.

That’s not true. There are 2 envelopes. The interior envelope is anonymous. The interior envelope is not opened until mixed up with all the other interior sealed envelopes.
Just had the same discussion with my wife. We are a single income household. My wife, got a degree in early education, but never went into teaching. Our household is very fortunate to be in this position. While I work in my office she is able to help the kids. She spends a lot of time helping them. Even she mentioned how sad it was that lots of kids were not participating in their learning (she talks with the teachers). But I reminder her about how she went to school for early education and she has the time to devote to helping our kids succeed. She agreed. Not easy at all. Without her my kids would not be coping as well as they are. It would be difficult for me to assist as much as she does with my normal day job.

Am I going to get sued for having a website that produces arbitrary deepfake audio (Arpabet + Tacotron + Melgan) of Trump and Biden?

My opinion is that state actors can already do this. If we train the public that "photoshop for audio and video" is a thing, then they'll learn to be skeptical.

We'll have to get a real (i.e. not me commenting on HN) legal opinion should we get a take down request, but prima facie I don't see why these would be illegal.

Here's what our capital requirements look like (we manufacture in Asia and sell on Amazon): 35 days in transit from Asia to U.S. West Coast + 60 days of safety stock + average of 14 days from when we sell to customer to when Amazon disburses funds. But the factory extends 60 day payment terms, so we need to cover 35 days of cost of goods sold (@ 50% of revenue) + 14 days of revenue. Or ~31 days of sales. I would say that we are probably in the typical range for a company that sources from Asia. If you source domestically, then you probably only need 30-45 days of safety stock, depending on lead times, but you might not get 60 day terms from your supplier.

IPNS records still have a default 24hr lifetime, but republishing your IPNS records is now much MUCH faster, so it should be much cheaper to run a process to republish these regularly. I assume you can also bump up your lifetime to >24hr if you want - but note that will mean nodes not using pubsub (aka getting updates pushed to them proactively) might be slow to get new updates.

Here's what's new for IPNS in the release: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#ipn...
absolutely! Second this
The timing is pretty intriguing, since intentionally copying code and ideas that rapidly would actually be an impressive skill of its own. You are left with something that certainly would feel like mind reading.

Sometimes you see this sort of thing happen in movies. My personal belief is that at some point there was something unique happening on a grand level that triggered thoughts of a specific problem and its solution in both of you, yet subtle enough you might never backtrack and discover that commonality.

I hope that you both can move forward without the usual red tape that this would create if you were both megacorps. It's awesome that you both kept it civil and even had nice feedback for each other.

And remember, great minds think alike.

Ah, no, probably doesn't do parsing recovery. But `wasm-validate` from the same toolkit will at least tell you the offset at which your wasm file has an error (I just flipped some bits in a wasm file to test this), which may be helpful!
> it's a restriction on the loan or even a restriction on conditions under which the loan will be forgiven without being paid back

I’m not sure the Fed has the power to do something like that. It’s a huge expansion in purview, particularly with adding forgiveness conditions, in which case it’s literally giving free money to private citizens without Congressional authorisation.
Sorry, I didn't mean to assume that at all.

I was just asking if it's something you are thinking about, and if this current situation will have long lasting impacts on your financial decisions going forward.
This doesn't prove C++'s grammar is undeciable. Template expansion is seperate from parsing. Besides you can do the same thing in any language that can do Turing complete compile time programming.
I think this is a notation and definition problem. To me, it behaves differently in `Y = 1 / X`, which distinguishes quite strongly between `X = 1 - 0.9999` and `X = 0.9999 - 1`! If 0.9999 ought be exactly equivalent to 1.0, there ought to be no difference between `1 / (1 - 0.9999)` and `1 / (0.9999 - 1)`.

To me, 0.9999 indicates a directional limit, which can't necessarily be evaluated and substituted separately from its context.

Not sure if that's what happened but as a B2C company we also don't acknowledge any feature or idea requests, and have strong ToS language against submitting any unsolicited ideas. Our CS staff generally deletes/archives them without reading them if they can tell by the title.

The problem we had was that a lot of users submit ideas we've already had or were already working on (I mean if we've been working on a project for 5+ years do they really think this idea didn't cross our mind), but then some of them think they are entitled to a little something for it.

One of them tried to demand some kind of reward once they saw the feature had been implemented (even though we were working on it well before they even mentioned it and it wasn't a groundbreaking change or anything), raised hell like she had been cheated posting screenshots of her unanswered e-mail, and even claimed to get a patent attorney to help her. Fortunately that feature was present in a bunch of other apps so it doesn't look like it went anywhere. I suspect if we had said "We have passed this along" then our situation would be much worse.

Basically with Duolingo's userbase size I am sure they have at least some malicious users.

Because everything anyone involved in the markets has ever told you is a complete lie.
I haven't had much luck finding milk, flour, eggs, or rice in stores unless I go at 6am. I'm not sure the state of appying for food stamps right now, but it can't be great. For unemployment, it took my friend over 3 weeks to get their unemployment debit card, and he only got it because it was sent by mistake to his neighbors house who kindly hand delivered it. California EDD is so backed up, and you can't really call them or contact them in any way right now.
We had an e-com SaaS company give us "sample product data" to help one our customers who was onboarding to their platform and was trying to figure out how to set up their product records and taxonomies, and the data turned out to be poorly anonymized real production data from one of our client's competitors who was also on the same SaaS platform.
That's very interesting web! I wonder where they are taking the data from?
That's not true at all. The Spanish flu outbreak had a ton of impact on the modern world. Health codes, science around vaccines, economic effects, etc. To act like the Spanish flu had no long lasting effects shows you didn't pay much attention in middle school social studies.
I went to the Wolfsburg Autostadt and took a tour at the factory next door a year ago (https://www.autostadt.de). It was a great tour. The guide was making jokes about the currywurst. I didn't realize he was serious. I guess I could have had some at the museum.

Its a highly automated factory so it was very interesting to see work done (or not done) by machines. If you're in the area, its well worth the visit. The auto museum is a huge complex next to the factory; its not just VW stuff.

Loan means the company will be required to pay it back at some point. Suddenly increasing a company's liabilities by millions or billions, not to mention the interest burden, might have major significance for the long-term survivability of said company. That's fine if you only care about easing the short-term shock of the lockdown, but it could very well slow down the post-lockdown recovery.

How it was explained to me is that the markets don't always reflect the economy because the negative outcomes have already been priced in. So, if the markets were expecting a downturn in the economy of -20%, but the economy actually went down -15%, then the market might go up, even though the economy is still doing worse.

Another possible explanation is that we're currently print a lot of money without producing much stuff. So, inflation should be happening, right? But people can't really consume any goods or services. And so it's the prices of investments that gets inflated. (this explanation is a bit more iffy to me though than the first)
