For our use cases, we MITM with haproxy as the LB and then swap out to ALBs when full blown payload diagnostics are no longer required. You might be able to hack something together using Lambda as targets which emit the payload and then forward on to your final target; this is just speculation, I have not attempted such an endeavor. It's a deficiency in the logging capability of AWS ALBs IMHO.

I'll make sure to note it with our AWS TAM during our next conversation.

Tamiflu blocks influenza viruses from being released from its host cell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuraminidase_inhibitor)

Remdesivir interferes with viral replication itself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remdesivir)
I found this news exciting/significant because this is the first time we've seen positive news about remdesivir in the context of a placebo controlled, randomized, double blinded trial. Unlike prior trials that either didnt have a control arm, or trials like the Lancet trial that was also released today that were underpowered, this trial shows a statistically significant effect by remdesivir. For context, the Lancet trial showed a numerical effect, but couldn't recruit enough patients and was ultimately underpowered, so it wasnt able to show statistical significance.

It's exciting that there's finally at least one drug with at least one fully powered thousand plus patient placebo controlled trial with a statistically significant impact. It shows the disease is drug gable and treatable, and is not invulnerable, and is an exciting win for science.

Something else I'm excited about is the potential to use Remdesivir as a preventative. Because it works by inhibiting viral replication, it could be used as a preventative for high risk individuals until a vaccine is developed or the disease is eradicated.

To be fair: It isn't just folks with indoor jobs and hobbies.

I've discussed this with my doctor after being severely low on vitamin D. It caused physical pain. I'm far enough north that it is impossible to get the sunlight needed during the winter. I still have days, but they are short without strong sun - not to mention that it is too cold to go without a jacket. So, supplements at least during the winter.

During the summer, I have the option of getting at least 15 minutes of sunlight a day (May through August). Being outside isn't enough: I need to make sure that more than just my face is exposed.

But then, on top of it all, I wound up taking a medicine that not only makes me sensitive to sun, but a bit more prone to a milder form of skin cancer. Sunscreen doesn't help with vitamin D production.

The end result is that I wind up taking vitamin D all year and simply get my levels checked from time to time. Luckily, the over-the-counter stuff does the trick (there isn't the variety in vitamins here as there is in the US).
I think it's important to put tweets into perspective. Twitter is a media platform not a window into someone's mind. I think his tweets are great and he should just keep them coming. It's entertainment.

The True Story Behind “No Bozos” (2012)
I love this comment so much, though i can't decide if it is sarcasm or not.

Musk has made a career breaking norms, and at times, rules. If you are an investor in $MUSK_CORP, you are frankly buying into that eccentricity. Personally, i love it for all the productivity and discomfort it brings us. He makes us think, if nothing else.

Musk is a maverick. Maybe 90% of the time that energy is channeled productively. As for the other 10%? Cost of doing business as far as i'm concerned. In an age when the younger generation seems to want to eat the rich, Musk stands out as someone using his time and money for good. The apparent flaws are cornerstone to his genius, just run amok.
Nothing to worry about there - he'll pick it up from his peers. You'd do better to be sure he learns your first language as well.

I wonder how these magic numbers get picked (4.66719, 5.38375, etc) -- I guess there is some optimization solver which attempts to find the most profitable variables for a given alpha formulation, but isn't this approach also very vulnerable to overfit?

To be fair, in SF for example the median income is $96,000. And I think that's take-home salary, so the median cost to the employer with benefits is well over $100k. It doesn't seem at all unreasonable that important city workers should make at least the area median wage. Having all of the local government employees be the lowest paid people in the city doesn't seem like a good thing.

It is also kind of shocking to see how many employees actually work for city and state governments. And of course government workers have a strong reputation for not being incentivized to work very hard or do more than the bare minimum. I would think the bigger opportunity would be to reduce the size of local government payroll rather than lower everyone's salaries.

Related thought - I wonder, why aren't city and state governments more at the forefront of automating menial work away, given the perpetual costs of each worker on the pension system? It seems they'd have a lot to gain from it.
Is that genius? Because it seems to be common in the unintelligent as well.

Ok, now go tell that to the ones that put 257 million USD on the Filecoin ICO and are expecting profits on a growing network!

> undercutting Amazon and friends.

That is so short-sighted. Amazon storage is not priced only due to the cost of storage. If it were, Wasabi would be stealing all of their customers given they charge "only" $6/TB-month, and I could go steal all of their customers because I have a cluster of Minio Servers that cost me $3.50/TB-month.

People are paying Amazon and the other major players a premium is not due to lack of competition or collusion between them or because they are price-sensitive. If they are (like I am), they would figure out how to setup Minio/Ceph and run their own servers.
Numbers and all aside, the Solar Roof photo is very satisfying. Very clean and elegant for a solar installation.

California has gotten significantly worse over the last 10 years or so for residents though, even if some debt has been paid off.

Wouldn't a doctor simply test? I know when I was really low, the doctor scheduled me for a blood test after 3 months of prescription-dose vitamin D pills. We've also spot checked since then.
Yes, though older folks can't produce it as well even if they get enough sun. Latitude is another big factor.
Thank you. For both the tools you make and this reply explaining your reasoning on this one.

It is really refreshing to see someone explaining their simple first-principle reasoning on something as controversial as this, and that specific decision working out great for the users.

Far too often we see a major industry player doing something drastic that users dislike (e.g., Postman bloat situation), and the competitors simply following the suit because "our competitors are big and smart, so it must be a good change that we should follow as well".
Wouldn't being distanced from your friends and family kind of increase the usage of mediums you can use to connect with them, and see what's up in their lives?

Also, humour through content like memes, videos which platforms like Instagram, Tiktok provide is a nice escape from all the gloomy news.

While you can use platforms like Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp to kind of socialize in new ways like your home workouts, cooking things etc.

>Isn't that exactly what we're seeing now?

If "that" is the cause-effect relationship claimed above, no we are not "seeing" this right now. There is a huge difference between events and the narratives, accurate or otherwise, which some people use to explain those events. The system under consideration is insanely complex, with an immense list of causal factors at play. To me, in my opinion, it's obvious that the causal relationship described above is at best a tiny contributor that is, itself, dependent on other factors also being present. At worst, it's completely wrong and a distraction from understanding the real causes.

To add something to this, traders have their own expectations of how companies will perform relative to their published estimates. I used to work at a unicorn that would consistently exceed its published estimates, and the stock price took a non-trivial hit the first time it ever met them.
> Ignoring ramifications of politicization,

Let's not. It's relevant to real world actions.

> You don't think a doctor on the front line is qualified to make inferences about the disease that he is literally treating en masse?

About symptoms or specific treatment plans, perhaps. About government response? No. It's the difference between macro and micro scale approaches. The front line doctors are experts at mirco-scale treatment. Epidemiologists are best at macro-scale treatments. The two skillsets are not the same. An expert at one is not an expert at the other, and no amount of repeating that belief will change that.

> Again, the fact that this particular decision agrees with your preconceived notions does not mean that YouTube's emerging practice of choosing truth is good for society.

Correct. I just happen to believe that suppressing lies that can kill people if they believe them is also a good thing. Or do you think that "take Hydroxychloroquine, it's a miracle drug" should be posted on the youtube homepage?

> The WHO is also not the only qualified body, nor is it a final authority, yet here YouTube is suddenly treating it as one and, conveniently, YouTube's political slant is aligned with this particular decision

What is the political slant you're describing? The WHO, CDC, and pretty much every expert body on epidemiology in the world, in every nation, from Iran to Argentina to Germany to China are doing approximately the same thing. The political spectrums in those nations cross the gamut. Yet they're all following the same treatment plan for the pandemic response. What is the political slant?

> If we allow this behavior, it won't be the last time that YouTube picks a winner and shapes the reality perceived by millions of people.

They already do that. They're just doing so with a bit of morality instead of hoping that unmonitored algorithms will lead to the best outcomes for society.

> these corporations are not authorities and should not be gatekeeping information.

Information is relative. Google's mission statement is "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". So which is more in line with that mission: providing a platform for lies, or curating correct information?

Is "up is down" information? Or is it something else? I don't think lies (or perhaps less aggressively, falsehoods) are "information", they're something else. If the doctors are correct (they aren't, but assuming they were), they'd have evidence they could share and that actual experts would agree with. Then the expert consensus would change.

Either that or you think there's a worldwide conspiracy to keep us in our homes, hurting the economy and millions, or even billions, so that...as far as I can tell, the best guess is so that governments can replace the batteries in the birds. There's nothing for the WHO or CDC to gain by suppressing these guys. There's nothing for Google to gain by suppressing these guys. And yet, they do because it's morally right to keep people safe from disinformation.

I was also surprised recently to learn how flat earnings have been. The stock prices going gangbusters can be explained (at least partly) by earnings per share going up due to stock buybacks. If you go look, most companies have significantly fewer shares outstanding than they did in 2014.
It depends on your skin color [0]. For people with light skin, 13 minutes of direct midday sunlight three times a week may be enough. But for people with dark skin, you may need 30 minutes to 3 hours of direct sunlight (the article doesn't make it clear whether that is three times a week or once a day) to get enough vitamin D.

> Comments such as this, dismissing a huge portion of fellow citizens out of hand, without so much as recognizing that "they" might be trying to do what's best in their eyes is so far from a democratic ideal...

Explain to me what I'm supposed to do with people who wear "Better Russian than Democrat" t-shirts or my father-in-law who literally said "Her views are everything I want, but I can't vote for her because she's with the Democrats."

That kind of stuff is not anti-Democratic party--it is anti-Democracy.

> Just wow. Hope your dictators benevolent.

Sorry, I'm pretty comfortable burying a party that is anti-Democracy.

However, it turns out that the California jungle primary gives the opposing party more power because it often gets to be the king-maker between the two Democratic candidates rather than simply getting ignored because one candidate won the primary and now can roll over the general election.

So, that actually approximates your dialectic as opposed to mouthing it and never compromising. Unlike the Republicans, Democrats don't seek to silence the opposing party. But, yeah, the jungle primary is going to do a good job of removing the wing nuts from both parties from the conversation.

I consider that a feature and not a bug.

I suggest some further research.

If that were true, wouldn't you have to hire every developer who could possibly build your app in a weekend to succeed at that? It just takes one to start a new competitor.

Building a new competitor is more than just a matter of code, there are often network effects, a lot of marketing, and often still a cost to switch from a less than optimal but good enough solution to an optimal one.
My doctor's advice: 15-30 minutes of sun per day, with more than just your face exposed. So yes, an hour a day might be sufficient. You don't need to sunbathe, luckily, and cloudy days count too.

For me, this only counts from May to August: I'm pretty far north, and there isn't proper sun strength much of the year.
