Just to dive deeper into this, with the billions of people on this planet, why is someone necessarily entitled to getting their name out there without having to invest something themselves?
Right, there is some shared state, but it’s very minimal.
SGX is about making arbitrary general purpose computations encrypted and inaccessible from the rest of the system. Thus it cannot use a crypto chip with fixed set of secure operations.
It will pass :) And you're looking at the code right after you wrote it.

If you look at your own code months or years later (some applications do need maintenance), you'll hate it or be ashamed of it. But you should know better than improving it by then.
Package delivery is actually a good comparison. Socialising amazon would simply add a warehousing portion to it.

Your figures are deaths per capita, irrespective of confirmed cases. Not sure why you mention Johns Hopkins and confirmed cases here. Do you mean confirmed _dead_ cases?

So, of course Sweden's numbers are highest. Their gambit (as I understood it) was that if they infect people faster, they'll get immune faster. If they infect people faster, it obviously also means that people will die faster. It doesn't mean more will have died; Norway could just be killing people more slowly. We won't know who got it right until this is over.

(This is what I meant earlier by "raw numbers", but it's now a bad choice of words given that your figures are per capita)
Improve conversion rates.

>Everyone going back to work is not an unrealistic scenario since there are countries in Asia that are already doing this.

You're not following the economic story very closely if you think any of those countries are "back to normal".

>Also keep in mind unemployment rates are expected during a pandemic.

Do you have a source to anything at all about how any of this was "expected"?
I'm still proud of my LTE RRC layer protocol implementation for mobile phone testing: design, implementation, its ability to work with diverse physical layer emulators... Wrote it probably 10 years ago.
Yeah, they seem to use a slightly modernized version of how schools used to teach here in Sweden and are hugely successful unlike us. So if they implement this it is more likely that they will make things worse rather than better.
That is not what I get from this page.

> These deaths could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to COVID-19 (e.g., deaths from other causes occurring in the context of health care shortages or overburdened health care systems).

That is not saying "those deaths were not caused by COVID-19". They explicitly mention that these could be misclassified.
That... sounds like a good idea. I wonder why PornHub/etc don't try this? Or do they already have such a feature?
The problem is gaining traction because it was used in the Covid 19 sim that was publicly released recently

I'm honestly quite curious: why has Amazon completely collapsed in the US, but continues to run as usual in the EU?

I expected them to have a much stronger setup in the US.

It's not the "what", it's the "how". Magit enables extremely fancy workflows with great simplicity, and its UI is self-discoverable and well laid-out. Magit has the best UX of any git tool.

I think that intrinsic motivation is almost important. If a child shows an interest in something that they should be encouraged to pursue it. For example if a student in grade 8 says that they are interested in scuba diving, they should be giving the opportunity to take a 2-3 week intensive 16hr a day boot camp. A motivated kid can easily do 16hrs days. Such programs should be ready to implement the moment a kid shows interests. Strike while the metal is hot.

I've seen bored kids in class, not understanding a lesson, and not caring. They're doodling away, and interested in graffiti. If I could, I'd put such a kid in a calligraphy boot-camp, 16hrs a day. Not only would they learn something that they are interested in but, all learn to learn - and be better in all subjects.

In Toronto some kids that are on verge of dropping out are transferred to a special school that focuses on skate-board building, and the business around selling skate-boards.

I am also suspicious of the market disconnect from the broader economy, but I wonder what the Fed is up to. They have announced they are going to purchase corporate debt, among many other things. In the last recession, they didn't report everything they put money into and it took an act of Congress to get a limited report of their otherwise unreported activities.

Oh sure, it's theoretically possible that they'd change completely if only the system was different. It's also unlikely, and I don't want to bet the stability, quality of life and relative peacefulness of our modern societies on the off-chance that you're right.

> They tend to the tv's and games when they have any free time because they are worked to death the rest of the time.

But the hours worked has steadily gone down while the hours spent in front of the TV has steadily risen. Something doesn't add up in your calculations. People don't work themselves to death any more. In fact, they have so much free time on their hands, that they spend money to kill it. They literally pay other people to entertain them, to take the free time off of their hands, and they don't know what to do with it. That's a very different situation from 200, 100 or even 50 years ago.

> It's not a showstopper, the goods in a society based on solidarity instead of greed outweigh the bad in every way.

Right, right, until people starve and we go back to the evil system because, when all is said and done, it's just more efficient. I mean, it's not that this hasn't been tried before.

And yes, I'm absolutely aware that it can work in smaller groups. I'm convinced you can have wonderful small groups based on solidarity. They will run on social control and everybody will make sure that everybody contributes as much as they are able and as much as is needed. But it doesn't scale, unless you want to create a massive police state that takes over the social control thing, and I don't want that.

> Our current system is completely broken, and needs to get replaced, not reformed because reforms can't be used for such drastic changes as are needed.

Burn it down, maybe we can build something better in it's place. But what if we can't? What if we end up with something that's terrible because all those nice ideas just don't work? Then you've burnt down a few centuries of progress for a dream. You may be willing to accept that risk, but I can guarantee you that most people are not, because, after all, even for the poorest 10%, this is the best time to be alive during pretty much all of humanity's existence. Well, okay, maybe witnessing the aliens landing the pyramids was pretty great, but aside from that, this is it.

Why is it a given that the stock market is reacting based on reality instead of the alternative (that the modern stock market is almost entirely divorced from "the economy")?
To be realistic you both need to have a real understanding of at least the cost of acquisition today and lifetime value for a client (including time period). If you are just acting as a sales rep for them essentially and they own and manage the customer after you get the customer signed up, then that is different then if you own the customer and the support. If language and culture are an issue, then likely you'd own the support and so the cost should be an on-going cost.

The most common method for referrals is typically a one time payment but then the SaaS company owns the client and all support. For this they will want to keep the CoA to a point they can make money over the life of the client. You need to understand the current pricing for clients to know how to price this fairly. Hard to give you much of an idea, but I have seen for large enterprise style agreements where the referral payment is equal to 1-3 months of service or when values are smaller, 1 year of service. It is so dependent on type of customer and LTV etc that it is hard to be general.

Second option is if you own the customer because of support etc, then you would have on-going costs and so typically a percentage of revenue is more fair for the life of the customer. This is almost more like a reseller's agreement than a referral/sales agreement.

100% more weight per lift I'd agree. But that's hardly relevant. 100% more weight per hour, thanks to algorithmic placement of boxes, computerized dispatch and routing and general ruthless process optimization? I'd be shocked if we didn't end up at 100%.

But it's not just warehouses: efficiency changes have been top to bottom throughout the world. Things like Six Sigma, lean manufacturing, the Toyota Production System ... these have been massive drivers of efficiency nearly everywhere.

I worked manufacturing IT and was able to watch the assembly process. It's frankly amazing and us programmers have lots to learn. The worker that bolts widget A to widget B doesn't just have a box of bolts and a wrench. She pre-places the bolts in a pokayoke tray and places test templates against A and B. Are they misdrilled? Push a button on her console and they are diverted off the line for rework. Good? Templates off, place the assemblies in a work tray that can hold them in exactly one - the correct - configuration, pokayoke tray goes on and nuts screwed to bolts.

The count of nuts and bolts in her station are measured based on flow in/flow out and a runner brings and places more just in time to prevent her station from running out but not before they accumulate at her station. The environment and process is designed to absolutely minimize operator motion, with a supervisor monitoring and filling out time observation sheets to look for wasted effort and opportunities to change.

When I talked with some plant supervisors it was incredible: they were able to point to a manufacturing station and say "this worker takes twelve seconds to execute these five motions", and you could pull out a stopwatch and that was exactly what you would see.

This is a press release. There are a lot of battery announcements, and we should basically ignore the ones that don't have a constructed installation in operation.

There are a few flow batteries about using the vanadium-redox chemistry: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/vanadium-re... - and that web page lists operating installations.

From the other comments it appears this might be sulfur: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S254243511...

The reasoning is sound; for every element on the periodic table, you can assign a dollar cost, and an ionization energy. From the ionization energy you can work out the electrode voltage of a particular chemistry, and therefore the terminal voltage of the battery, and therefore how much energy is liberated from each electron exchange. Divide "watts per atom" by "dollars per atom" and you have your bulk storage cost. Throw out all the substances that are annoying to store (sorry, hydrogen), or don't behave nicely in an ionic liquid at room temperature.

That gives you the smattering of elements that have been tried for batteries. Lithium wins on weight because it's at the top left (sorry again, hydrogen), and the collection of "post-transition metals". Zinc, Cadmium, Mercury, Lead: all popular. Aluminium-air batteries exist but are expensive.

Sulphur seems all on its on in the "reactive nonmetals" bucket. I'm guessing it's being considered due to availability especially in sulphuric acid form.
Give it a test; the short-form URLs shown in each card are also referred in each href, so "website.com/your_prod..." is what's literally provided as the url when you click through.
There is a middle ground. There are smaller companies where you can rent a bare metal server, usually with unmetered connection (priced by bandwidth). There is an on-call support 24x7 to replace any failing part when you call them. They can build custom servers and also give long term or bulk discounts.

Less so with the code per se and more with some elegant or minimalist abstraction it implements.

I have followed this strain of industry for many years and have been actively looking for something to invest in.

Storage is not even close to being at a useful stage for anything other than pilot projects which is why that is what we have and not any really large scale storage facilities and won't have it anytime soon. It's not a matter of economics but physics and we just don't have any fundamental scientific discoveries that warrant the hype we see.

If you’ve been following the headlines for the past month, there’s always some reason. Easy enough to pick something out of the air—“Chinese-American sniping less aggressive”, “Oil futures markets not quite so screwed up”, “a drug shows promise in an n=20 study” but the fact of the matter is that neither the headline writer nor anyone else really knows why the market is rapidly erasing all of this year’s losses and trending towards all time highs while economic output continues to crater and companies go bankrupt.

Perhaps investors believe that governments will do whatever it takes to make investors whole given the political power investors wield through their votes and political donations. Perhaps they are even correct. Why don’t headline writers say that? “Stocks continue to rise while unemployment goes up because rich people confident they control governments”? It’s as likely or more to be true than the “priced in” narrative they’ve been hawking.

Amazon has far worse problems then declining quality.

Eg: review fraud, selling stolen items, counterfeits, inventory comingling, inconsistent return policy, warehouse worker/driver treatment, terrible search/discovery, bad ux, etc.

I'd worry about that problem when it's a reality not before.

Yes and no. I appreciate where he's coming from, but "mega-corporation exploits and mistreats blue-collar workers" isn't new. That happens every day, and has since corporations have existed.

"White-collar worker quits over own company's treatment of blue-collar workers" is news. It points to a shift: even the people profiting off this are starting to think it's getting ridiculous.

I'm having trouble thinking of any other cases where this has occurred. The only thing that comes to mind is Gates and Buffet saying they should pay higher taxes, but that has much less personal impact on them.
Surgeons don't operate on family. Attorneys don't defend themselves in court. It's easier to present someone else's work than your own.

I've only been coding for a few years now.

Often I'm sort of irked by my old code.

But it is telling that from time to time I find some old simple code that was easier to read / change than I expected if only because I coded it so simply and in an iterative sort of way.

There's something to be said for being simple...
This. My son recently discovered Saitama, aka One Punch Man. Now he is crazy about doing the One Punch Man workout - 100 situps, pushups, pullups, etc, etc and running 10km per day. He has actually achieved the 100 situps milestone, still a ways to go on the others. And he insists I do it with him, which is a bonus.
I think the argument of the article is to pick the right language in the beginning so you save both developer time and runtime and don't have to rewrite in a better language later. For example, Python is a lot slower than threaded C, but quicker in terms of developer time and is memory-safe. If you pick one of the newer JVM languages though, you can get far closer to C than Python in performance once the JVM is running and still keep most of the expressiveness.
That only makes sense for an explanation of why the market is up today, not why it's hanging around the levels it was in the fall of 2019. Not everything is priced in. Given the collapse of consumer demand, the depression-era surge in unemployment, the loss of GDP, and the dim prospects of a rapid recovery in 2020, the market was either severely undervalued in 2019 or is severely overvalued right now. Or both.

I know people don't really like to remember high school stats, but surely we can get the world to a place where CMOs etc know enough to not do this and not let their teams do this?

Ya I want to add this, I just need to figure out a way to ingest / filter the data in a way that twitch wont ban my account. Looking into this this weekend.
As an officer of the company, the public can presume that he has the authority to speak for the company. One question would be whether he was listed as an officer on the company's Secretary of State filings at the time of the pronouncement. Even without that, if they held him out as an officer in letterhead, websites, etc. they likely cannot "undo" his actions.

FWIW, "co-founder" is not the title that matters. The title with the word "officer" is the operative one. Officer is a word that has a legal meaning and generally means the person can speak on behalf of the company, regardless of what a parent entity may later say. They entrusted him with the title. It's why you often see the elevation of someone to an "officer" position comes with a whole new round of background checks and interviews.

From what I understood, it’s not reference counting but trying to determine at compile time when to drop using data flow analysis to come up with an approximation of the liveness.

I had a thought sometimes back, can compilers do a profile run to get information about the liveness of objects it couldn’t determine statically by dumping gc info?
