I agree, but do Vegas COVID statistics mean cases only in Vegas or the adjacent cities?

As a similar example, a lot of people in NJ work in NY but a case on a NJ resident would be counted as NJ.
Well over my head but printed it out and will read anyway. Thank you.
Simple way to learn is to load up an AKS cluster (free for the master, simple to follow tutorials online), then learn to create a deployment and link a service to it (just a yaml file). It's really only an extra step or two on running a docker container.
Possible problem with pointing lights at planets is that eventually they'll notice the moving beams from the faint zodiacal light. Of course they won't immediately conclude "the sun is a giant planetarium projector" but it will likely spur greater curiosity in observing the sun from different viewpoints.

It sounds like the author might have been better off turning into science than technology.
The issue with this approach is, it will not be possible to control the quantity or 'Infectious dose', which in the case of Covid19, may or may not affect how severely a person gets ill after infection.

Can anyone point to some articles of how Palantir is abusing data?

The reason I ask is, I also thought that it's "just supreme evil" until I listened to a podcast with Thiel (Dave Rubin podcast) recently... In it, he said that he started Palantir as an experiment, what can be done against organised crime/terrorism while respecting civil liberties and privacy. His argument was, that we do need to stop terrorism, because people (not HN crowd, but the public at large) are obviously not willing to compromise safety for privacy, so each terrorist attack results in privacy- & civil liberties-curtailing laws - so the question is, can we use data/ML/etc. to safeguard our society while preserving as much privacy & liberty as we can.

But I've almost no real (and insider) info about Palantir to judge whether that's actually what the organisation is, 10 years or so later.
Absence of evidence is different from evidence of absence.
> i don't understand why you want to force a path

This isn't the right metaphor. I'm not trying to force a path; I have a very strong internal sense of a general direction I need to go. But there is no path in that direction. So I'm trying to forge one.

As for why that direction, I don't know of course. But if I were to speculate it's because I have a strong intuition that that's where my personal growth is.
Wishful thinking. It was h1n1. If there was also breathing problems reported - then we are talking
If you can wait a few hours, the better comparison is probably Glacier Deep Archive, which is not $4/TB/month but $1/TB/month.

Amazon wants to charge you $90/TB* to get data to the outside world, compared to B2's $10, but you can mitigate it in various ways. At the low end that's using a lightsail instance as a VPN, depending whether you think the TOS allows that. At the high end it's paying flexify.io $40 to move your data to B2, then paying B2 $10.

There might be other ways to improve S3 egress costs. It's a very hard thing to search for. I only learned about flexify from this post.

So if you have to restore less than half of your data each year, Glacier Deep storage will save you money. It's worth considering, unlike normal Glacier which is almost entirely downside.

* There's also a $2.50/TB fee to get things out of Glacier, but that's dwarfed by the other costs.
I don't know why you've been downvoted. The US still commands a healthy lead, and there is a lot of political will to extricate China from our supply chain. The US isn't the only country that wants to do this.

I suspect that China lags in military and economic development, that Covid-19 is an inflection point in their growth, and that they will have too many domestic issues to solve before reasserting themselves on the world's stage. Meanwhile the US is going to steal "One Belt One Road" and do it ourselves.
"A magical thing happens when you help someone. You forget about yourself." - that's a remarkable statement, actually.
> but I feel like as a society we've swung so far away from institutional trust that now nothing good can actually emerge

Why do you assume we ever had that trust? Corporations and Government have never had personal data on such a scale before and we've never had such little control over this data. Especially with google, your expecting us to trust a spyware company.

> The anti-vax movement is a perfect example where the collective work of thousands of people over decades to save millions of lives just gets tossed aside because some celebrity 'feels' like there's a connection that isn't there, and in the process

Anti-vaxers have been around as long as vaccinations have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_hesitancy#History

I'd say this trust has never existed, there was just an illusion that it was because we couldn't see into others bubbles so easily.

Google could resolve this will well thought out UX.

Each answer could have a "show working" link which would display extracts of the tables used to derive the result, with the specific data used highlighted.

They could also have a "show a different result" link which would display the next most likely result with a substantially different answer. The user can then compare both methods and decide if Google probably has it correct.

There was a similar lake in Siberia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Siberian_Glacial_Lake

I started writing a comment in favor of the author's main point, and then I convinced myself against it.

The author considers "opting out of Wikipedia" a "nuclear option" that "often won't work". But there's nothing wrong with writing your own book/wiki about a specific topic.

Knowing that "the character of Kaworu Nagisa was originally a cat" is not going to increase your understanding of Evangelion. Would I wish for that specific piece of knowledge to be lost forever? No. But it would be much better served in a book/wiki dedicated to the minutiae of the series than in a general encyclopedia: it would be better targeted to a specific audience, and it wouldn't have the citation problems the author mentions here.

As a side note, the piece was written in 2013. Evangelion wikis are alive as well.
No they aren't from what I understand. Virtually no one dying from covid19 was considered out of the ordinary for many countries, even well after it was established in Asia.
you don't have to go that far back. A little more than a century ago the California central valley looked very different. Tulare Lake was the largest fresh water lake west of the great lakes, bigger than Tahoe[1]. Of course there's also Hetch Hetchy, which supplies San Francisco's water[2]. Countless other engineering projects have vastly changed the flow of water in the state.

How to Feel Good with Hyperfocus?
When I become curious about something, I take a deep dive in and learn a lot (mostly programming related things). But I can't and don't want to stick with something. I've already accepted it that this is the way I learn and life. But there is a problem with it. I feels like failing every time I stop something and start something new and I have the feeling that it becomes faster. 1 year ago it was like 1 thing/Month for now its like multiple things/per day.

I've worked with PHP since 5.4, and to me the language has not been the obstacle, it has been my own skill-level that has held me back, and still is - I lack very much the core architectural skills in getting forward as a developer, among many other things.

I've seen some codebases using an even older version, and I think I can understand where people are coming from with their angst towards the language - but I think we should look at ourselves before we jump to the bandvagon of just hating something blindly - I remember being part of the "Apple sucks" group for no other reason than hype, and now I've used one for years as a work machine.
How did you get into that space? What was your background? I hope you don’t mind me asking.
We already have this problem, and Google's "search" widgets (e.g. dictionary, snippets, Q&A) are probably a big offender. Falsehoods are everywhere, but people tend to arrive at the truth, and once they do, the truth tends to go viral and flood fill over the falsehoods. What scares me is how easy it would be to create higher-order falsehoods. For example, X, Y, and Z are all false, but corroborate each other, making all of them more believable. These "regions" of falseness already trap millions of people today into throwing away their money -- think pyramid schemes, cults, etc.

I think you're absolutely right that this only going to be exacerbated.
I had this exact situation with numbers few weeks ago. Wasn’t able to figure out how much to pay for my groceries. It took five times for cashier to repeat until I understood. Felt like on other planet.

It started in January, affected my health in strange way. It’s my second week when don’t feel ill. Working from home works well, I didn’t lost my interest in engineering. But I don’t know what to do when I must sit in the office again. It’s hard to quit being single person who has a job in family.

I am not a pro giving advices, bet my email is in my profile. Talking makes it easier.
Many of the features highlighted in that article as "new" are from PHP 5.x, so it reads more like a list written by someone who has been out of touch with PHP development for a number of years.
Plenty of refutations of this if you read through this thread. The onus is very much upon those who claim it's not realistic or a false positive.

Ball is in your court. Keen to hear a response.
Smart move by Microsoft. Own GitHub, own open source.
I agree. First thing that comes to mind though is that you need the other person to have a certain level of competence, writing and reading skills, and dedicated time in order for written communication to work. If any of those things break down, you might be more successful with voice chat or phone calls.

For example, I have worked with clients or bosses who unfortunately were unable or unwilling to handle written communication effectively. Different types of problems can occur. Some people may be busy and decide they don't have time to acknowledge emails. So you literally don't know if they even read them. The next issue is they will read the first one or two sentences and get the gist, but are unwilling or unable to do any real thinking about what you wrote, and so will reply with something fairly obvious that may actually have been covered in your email. So technically they read it, but they didn't understand it well or do any analysis of the information.

The other one is where the other guy has a different viewpoint and that causes them to not want to understand the part of your message that contradicts it.

The other issue that can occur is that some people just don't quite have enough will power or cognitive ability to focus on something without having an audio chat. So something that requires their input but isn't their own task, they are not able to put adequate analysis into it in an email, even though you can see they are trying. Sometimes they are a manager and can't really operate well without a meeting or oral discussion of some kind.

Having said all of that, I prefer working with people that can work asynchronously on a project.
Maybe not even the WIV Level 4 lab, which is 20 miles from the wet market, but the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control & Prevention lab is only 300 yards away, and would be a plausible shopping location for an accidentally infected research assistant, or even proximity to improperly destroyed refuse from the lab:

"so many new and established options that are better in almost everyway"

such as?
I think it depends on the types of project or the target of the said project.

Recently I had to develop a very small CMS that manages personal web pages and it was a requirement that it could be installed very easily (i.e., by copying a single file) on virtually any hosting provider. PHP was (and is) still the natural candidate for such projects.
Three years in and my conclusion so far is that work is nothing more than a mean to earn a living, and my free time is the time I can actually read/program about interesting stuff. The pragmatic attitude is therefore to stop caring much about work and especially not give it more time than expected.

Lots of jobs for developers but very hard to find a job that is actually inspiring at all. I just stop struggling to find a sense to it and stopped giving a fuck. It's relatively big money for relatively easy work, we shouldn't be complaining in a first place.
Absolutely love this. Will implement it in my CLI games.
> fighting would be if one firm's products somehow un-manufactured another firm's products

They absolutely do, and would do it much more if most ways of doing that weren't strictly illegal. A particularly notorious, legal way of unmanufacturing your competitor's product is when both yours and theirs rely on a common component - so you can buy out the entire supply of that component to prevent your competitor from releasing a similar product after you. Off the top of my head, Apple did that with these mini hard drives for iPods.

A more common example of fighting is advertising, which becomes a zero-sum game when the market for a product category saturates.
From org-mode too, as it has the pointless Outline page that org always inserts into beamer presentations.
Even with PHP7, PHP still feels like it is playing catch up. There is nothing new or revolutionary in PHP7, just adopting features present in other major languages. Adopting as other newer languages like Go and Rust seems to be moving beyond those features. A catch up into a world that's on its way out, if one will feel so blunt.

PHP's raison d'être remains its ease of getting an instance running on a webserver. But with fewer people self-hosting these days, that has become less an advantage. And even for those who do self-host, the advantage is becoming narrower as other languages have made it easier to distribute their web applications.

Pascal, COBOL, Oracle DB and PHP today seems like technologies that only stick around because they are legacies being maintained, not because people start new grand projects with them. Would Wordpress have chosen PHP if they started today?
Seconded. I used Rancher 1.x which used their own framework called Cattle. Since Kubernetes took off they moved exclusively to k8s. It's a great product.
> America will still be a strong player, but not completely dominant anymore.

What is the objective evaluation criteria for this prediction? I think this is true today.
For web backend, being able to ship a single binary, such as what Rust and Go can provide, is really nice. I don't see PHP as a more compelling solution than either of those languages.

Scripting and command line automation is executed better by Python and Ruby, which excel for writing Unix scripts and tools.

I do not see what the use case for PHP is in 2020.

PHP has one of the most abhorrent language syntax designs this side of Perl, and the standard library is wildly inconsistent.

I really wish PHP would just die. Continuing to drag it along like the dead carcass it is wastes so much human effort. The longer it exists, the longer we have to support it.
The product was a full integrated cable. I won't buy it for that reason as I would 1) like to retrofit my existing cables and 2) be able to choose the cable for the spec of the cable itself. If you made a clip and magnet for retrofitting on existing cables I would buy it if it was offered for a reasonable price.
It's easy to extend this further.

Engaging in any kind of commerce (i.e. beyond growing food for yourself and your family) means paying taxes, which means funding governments and armies.
I did that, literally decades ago. That was still at the time when Amazon was selling books only.

They promised the earth on privacy and after a few month suddenly pulled a bait and switch on that.

For me that was such dishonest behavior that I pulled my business from them and never, ever ordered anything else.

A fulfilled, satisfying life is not dependent on being an Amazon customer.

You are sooo missing the point...

Lets change the story to be about an artist being burnt out of art industry. Suddenly he has to deal with all the grant money, politics of the gallery etc. Feels like he doesn't want to do anything with art anymore.

And somebody in the thread suggests the artist just go to the nature and paint and don't think about any art styles and acceptance of peers and trends and etc. Just give yourself to painting and don't think about anything. Just paint with a coal on stones and loose yourself in it.

And you comment would be something like "There's a balance here though, you still need to paint on canvas with acrylic or something, otherwise you won't be able to validate your art in the future for you to progress etc."
I very rarely write PHP and will probably never have to use these features, but I think that the combination of the FFI and preloading can be quite a powerful thing.
'if X is true then I expect to see evidence of X' is generally a reasonable assumption/prior. So not seeing evidence of X is evidence that X is false. It's not proof, but absence of evidence generally is evidence of absence, unless you have a specific reason to believe it's not.
Apple made a new SMS reporting API, just so the app doesn't get permissions for reading all SMS, as they wanted.

I've been using PHP for over 15 years and always liked it. There is no other webserver language that's so easy to use and so deployable while still being fast.

But for larger projects the available frameworks are just okayish. I think Symfony is closest to what a good framework should be. But every time I use it I wish it would be like .NET

Today .NET core is also available on Linux and very easy to deploy so I don't think I will ever start a big project in PHP again.

But for quick smaller and CMS[1] projects PHP is still my goto language.
