> "Support" is a bit of an overloaded word. I do agree with you that I do not support a government policy that isn't evidence-driven. But I do support the ability of the government to set policy without convincing every one of its constituents of the validity of its evidence.

On the flip side I support the elected legislature's ability to do this, but if you read the legal arguments being made it's pretty unclear that the legislature has in fact passed any law doing so. Read paragraph 32 of the complaint for what I find to be the most convincing argument for this: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.359281...
I'm not claiming a conspiracy theory, just that determining the cause of death is not always black and white.

That said, hospitals get a bigger payment if the patient has COVID, so they have a very strong incentive to diagnose it.
Could you give an example of a scenario where a GIF is more supported than a video?

Also, don’t forget that GIFs require much more processing power. A couple of large GIFs can bring a low-end smartphone to a crawl.
I looked through it earlier but missed the "continue this thread"

> SSR can be done correctly, even with React

This stands out to me, and I agree completely.

I dug around in devtools and found a few interesting things looking at the static-tweet.now.sh (Next w/ Incremental Static Regeneration). It seems like the performance is more or less on par with domvm as far as network usage EXCEPT for the initial bundle (which is mostly react & dependencies). For subsequent visits, this is cached and performance is great, but devtools tests with a clean cache so this is hidden.

Admittedly, that's a huge qualifier. It doesn't seem like Next is doing anything wrong with SSR other than using a framework with a huge bundle. As a result, the huge bundle ends up getting sent even for a page (or entire site) with no interactivity.

In theory, it might be possible to avoid sending the bundle for routes that don't need it, but this ends up being a fundamental limitation of react afaik.

Vercel (the folks behind Next) put it really well

> React at Facebook is…
> …unlike React at ${anywhereElse}

The large initial bundle pays off for a site like facebook or a web app which really takes advantage of all React has to offer (wether that's performance, tooling, or dx), but definitely deserves more second guessing than it recieves.
I put less value on "advancing" as I do enjoying what I do.

Two years ago I quit a ~20 year career in networking and frankly I was kinda tired of the industry I was in.

I decided to do a coding bootcamp (I had always been interested in coding). Loved it (found I was a far better student at 40 than 20), and got my first job for less than half what I used to earn.

My pay has risen dramatically and while I don't make what I used to and I'm not as "advanced" in my career as I was... I'm far happier.

A lot of folks seem to see "advancement" as what makes them happy in their job, I worry for them that such things are fleeting and hollow.

It helps keep people from driving too complacently and unattentively.
And even if we assume carmaker to refer to the company, that still only puts us at 7/14 that have resumed manufacturing.
Ugh I'm sorry to hear that. I'm presently testing on Chrome, Firefox and Safari on macOS and Windows with no issues. What browser are you using?
This is basically my main complaint about the approach in the US. That ship has long sailed, but it should have been straight quarantine. We got soft 'shelter in place' that was basically disregarded based on what I saw ( in IL suburbs at least; can't speak for other places ) and not applied uniformly. And I don't even want to get started on our governor deciding that golfing is somehow essential to the quality of life here.

In short, I understand the anger. I even understand the guy, who did not want to wear a mask out of spite at my wife's place ( more specifically, he did not want to wear it, because eff IL state government; he put it on when he was told it was office policy.. ). But it is getting messy and we better figure it out quick, before that powder cake gets lit.

The opportunity to contain it has passed and now we really need to think hard what to do next, because options are not great.
Mine was in late March. I guess the quarantine efforts paid off!

Sure would like to try that antibody test.
"If they die of COVID symptoms, then yes."

What does that mean? Respiratory failure? Plenty of diseases cause death through respiratory failure.

It's not that straight forward to determine cause of death in patients with comorbidities.
> Most local zoning is controlled by tiny opaque cabals of land owners who use all kinds of tactics to prevent participation by anyone beyond other sympathetic land owners with a vested interest in raising prices

What tactics do they use and why would that not apply at the state level? We already saw huge influence of big interest groups at the state level for many decades now, e.g. with the most recent passage of the rent control legislation in CA (benefiting developers). State-level legislation results in a much more damage than any local legislation could.

On a different topic, I'm surprised people keep bringing up the notion that restrictive zoning benefits landowners. If anything, upzoning always increases land prices as it allows more economic value to be extracted from it (think how big the cash flow would be from a 20 unit apartment building developed on a 10000 sq ft lot compared do a duplex even assuming that per-unit rent goes down). I know plenty of landowners and landlords, and none of them favor restrictive zoning.

The only people supporting low-density zoning are homeowners living in these neighborhoods as they extract value from the neighborhood character and scenery and could not care less what they real estate is worth (until they are selling). These are not the people you whose voice in the matter of town governance you'd want to take away. That would be a textbook definition of tyranny of majority.
I have about ten hours and loved it but I just can't justify the cost. It's so expensive when I have so little disposable income despite making six figures
I moved to SF last year from SC and it has been a royal pain to find a good fried chicken joint.

Paraphrasing here, but I very much read that as "Every human has the right to work in just and favourable conditions", not "Every corporation has a right to operate under equal economic treatment."
We mine Bitcoin for the same reason we mine gold, it's extremely difficult/expensive to make gold. Gold has verifiablity at a molecular level. Bitcoin is verifiable at a level of entropy.
> This "thought process" can be applied to literally every business in America.

Pretty sure that's the point. If Amazon can have warehouse workers delivering non-essential goods without restrictions, why can't Tesla be manufacturing without restrictions?

> What makes Tesla special?

Pretty sure that's what Elon is arguing. What makes Tesla special in that it's the only car manufacturer being restricted?
I would have no problem with Elon deciding to launch himself with a rocket, but I'm worried about workers who don't have an option and are doing it because they have to. The only thing I can think of to offset this risk is that Elon commits to pay $1M or a lifelong salary to the dependents of any worker that does catch the Covid-19 due to working during these times and dies (or infects their at-home relative who die) and lifelong health insurance should tey fall sick and be unable to work.
Perhaps it mutated at some point to become more infectious, and that mutation happened in Asia.
It's not a law, it's an order from a single individual in the county. There's also no law preventing people from going to work, regardless of whether the business should be open or not. And Tesla is not requiring anyone to show up.

Nobody is at risk here other than Elon and executives, but there will be plenty of prosecutorial discretion used to settle this smoothly rather than cause more civil unrest.

Beautiful site. And I agree, very similar philosophy to Margin. Just requested access, excited to give it a try.
My use of JavaScript is mainly for small code bases. The gains of TypeScript are less relevant in this scenario over the bureaucracy that it brings to the game.
> So, while it's hard for me to give you a "real" number, I'd say if we could save 20 million wellbeing-years, then lockdown was probably worth it. But keep in mind that means that LOCKDOWN_COVID19_MORTALITY_REDUCTION - LOCKDOWN_EXTERNALITIES >= 20 million wellbeing-years.

This seems like a very strange take. This is a utilitarian perspective, but with a floor of 20 million years of utility before we take any action. Why shouldn't we take action if the mortality reduction years > lockdown externalities? You're essentially saying "we should take no action to prevent a disease from costing us 20 million wellbeing-years", which seems odd.

> BTW I think once accounting for vector exhaustion (not everyone has the same risk of infection) and what I feel is a more realistic IFR, we'd be closer to 600,000 deaths in the "realistic" scenario IMO.

Are you accounting for the other side effects of Covid? Life long lung capacity loss due to pneumonia side effects, weird not well understood side effects like strokes in young people etc? Most of the people I see minimizing the risk and saying we should reopen seem to entirely ignore those dangers.

> Given that we must practice indefinite containment until we develop the "game-changer", we are executing a strategy which is based off a temporally unbounded future event. Therefore the potential drawbacks are unbounded given that the strategy involves waiting for a miraculous leap forward in COVID-19 vaccination or treatment.

This isn't at all true. Look at China, Taiwan, and South Korea, which have all begun reopening, but with infrastructure in place to track and keep outbreaks contained even as they reopen. Some parts of the US are on track to do the same relatively soon (weeks, not months or years).

> My proposal is an approach where we try to direct testing resources and governmental assistance to protecting the most at-risk members of society.

You realize that this is what's being done now, essentially, its just that tests are so severely limited that that isn't useful. We can't, for example, consistently test employees at nursing homes to make sure that they aren't infectious. Until we can do that, returning to normal is asking nursing home employees to shelter even more tightly than individuals are now, or it's sacrificing lives.

It feels like you haven't looked deeply into the criteria that many metro areas (NYC, WA, and the Bay to name a few) have to reopen. They're specific and clear, and backed by reasonable thought.
Get the fried chicken sandwich from RT Rotisserie (they do deliver) - it's the fast-casual arm of the acclaimed Rich Table restaurant.

All of the food at RT Rotisserie is incredible (their menu isn't large), but the fried chicken sandwich is especially notable (along with the lamb pita sandwich).
It's really benefiticial for outside of US.
Important caveat for one of the patients mentioned in the article: “Her telomeres were considerably shorter than those of healthy teenagers, suggesting that her cells were ageing at an accelerated rate.“

Aging is weird. Maybe there’s something to be learned from these cases, but it’s very unlikely to be straightforward. Unless you’re a roundworm. We can make those live hundreds of human-relative years. But in those cases it’s a tiny number of genes involved, we have near zero evidence that the same is the case for higher organisms.
Tesla was also in discussion with alameda county (confirmed by both sides) to reopen on May 18th. Then Elon decided to throw a tantrum and reopen week early, just because he’s rich and above the law.
In Virginia anything over 80mph is automatic reckless driving, it's a big deterrent. Only speeding ticket I ever got as a kid.

Also I don't know anything about Arkansas but we grow up in Virginia being completely afraid of State Troopers pulling us over for anything. I've never lived in a place with more general fear of STs.
Well that's cool, I didn't know New Order did a 3rd session in 1998!
Man, Ol' Musky really doesn't like to be told 'no' or 'wait', does he?
There's probably a workaround for that. Or there arguably would be, if enough people cared enough.

Not too many years ago, there were trusted services that sold Bitcoin (and Liberty Reserve and Pecunix) for cash sent anonymously through the mail. I haven't needed that for years, but I'm pretty sure that such services still exist. And given the escrow sector that's developed to serve dark marketplaces, trust is likely far more verifiable.

Cryptocurrency and meatspace money are now entirely separate for me. I earn all the cryptocurrency that I need anonymously online. And I don't risk manifesting it as meatspace cash. While that's not currently workable for most people, I don't see why it couldn't become so.
And are all those users fitted and trained for their N95's? Also unknown, but even more unlikely.

N95's often have yellow elastic bands, and we know Elon doesn't like yellow-colored safety things. This isn't ad hominem. He literally has endangered workers because he dislikes yellow.

IMO, there is no “TIBCO-like approach” to application integration c. 2020 any more than there is say an Oracle or AWS or Google approach to databases. It’s multi-paradigm, multi-usecase and polyglot. TIBCO as a vendor supports approaches and patterns ranging from event-driven functions to data streams and stateful orchestration to stateless mediation to choreography. The “runtimes” are built on anything from Golang, Python & Node to Java, Scala & .NET.

What you‘re referring to sounds like the legacy version of BusinessWorks 5.x that was launched back in 2001. The current generation of BusinessWorks 6.x provides Eclipse-based tooling just like closest alternatives like Talend, Mule, Fuse, etc. and deploys to 18+ PaaSes (k8s, swarm, GKE, AKS, etc.) or its own managed iPaaS aka TIBCO Cloud Integration. It’s aimed at Enterprise Integration specialists at a Global 2000 or F500.

If you‘re an app developer at a large bank/telco/retailer/airline building integration logic or stream processing or event-driven data pipelines, you‘re likely to use Project Flogo (flogo.io) It’s 3-clause BSD FLOSS and has commercial support and optionally commercial extensions available. Oh and you’re likely going to use Flogo apps with Apache Pulsar or Apache Kafka messaging. Both Pulsar and Kafka are available as commercially supported software from TIBCO (Rendezvous or EMS are our traditional proprietary messaging products). Flogo apps can deploy to TIBCO Cloud, dozen+ flavors of k8s, AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Run or as a binary on an edge device.

(Disclaimer: Product at TIBCO. Used to work on BW 6.0 back when the only PaaS was good ol’ Heroku)

> It's a reference to Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged. It's sort of a libertarian bible.

Objectivist more than libertarian; Objectivism overlaps with (especially American) both conservativism and right-libertarianism, but is its own distinct thing.

> OP is suggesting that Musk is doing the same thing, but performatively, in other words he's pretending to be super concerned with "getting back to work" but really he cares about making profits.

Objectivists would, I think, reject the distinction between “getting back to work” and “makong profits” as goals. “Making profits” is the natural goal of “getting to work” (independently of the “back”) part, so to suggest that an expressed desire for the latter is “performative” because the ultimate goal is the “former” is failing to understand the basic nature of reality and, more specifically, work.
You're not really responding to him at all. And the whataboutism regarding the military is irrelevant.

Assume there is limited money to spend things on. How do you decide how to spend that money? Because using your arguments, you could spend all the money on astronomy and that would fine.
Is Elon Musk gonna be working in the factory and traveling to and from it possibly using public transport, or even just a regular car, but having to pick up coffee from the drive thru on the way?

It’s not civil disobedience if you’re getting a bunch of other people to do it on your behalf.

Elon Musk is no Rosa Parks.

First, the picture was not released in full resolution. It was a photo of a print of a photo.

Second, there is also value to letting your adversaries know what you are capable of. Just think of the hassle of hiding activities from a satellite like that - surely it takes a huge operational toll.

No matter what, it sounds to me like releasing the picture is within the presidential oversight. He was not naming spies or anything.

Commercially, we have gigapixel imagers [1].

Hi there! Good question, it's one I get a lot and don't mind.

First off, I am not a lawyer but have consulted them. A lot of this is a gray area and not well defined. As you mention, there is the code, the given models, models fine-tuned on those models, models trained from scratch, using styelgan reimplementations, etc. Even with the license being included there does not mean that the output of a model trained from scratch counts as derivative work. And technically I just sell things like upscaling, keeping images private, google sync etc and provide unlimited image creating for free (not sure if that would hold up in court but I think it's relevant). So, no I do not think I am violating the license. But some lawyers may feel differently.

Also, I try hard to cite everything involved. Google was thrilled by my use of the biggan model and how it showed off the model. With the amount of money I have spent on Nvidia cards, I hope they are happy too :)

and then image ownership is a whole other question. Everything in arbreeder is CC0 to keep things simple https://artbreeder.com/terms.pdf

Best,

Look, if you really need to get a coin cell onto the internet, then go for it. But I don't think your comments on this thread represent good advice for most engineers building typical devices. Insinuating that anyone who doesn't agree with your view is technically challenged is also kind of pathetic.

Expectations around what an internet connected device should look like and be capable of changed permanently with the launch of the iPhone in 2007. There will always be special cases like yours, but they are increasingly (sadly?) relegated to smaller corners of the internet.

I did it your way for years. Every company I've ever worked for that started off with a microcontroller based networking solution eventually migrated to an application processor because users and non-technical management kept demanding iPhone-like behavior that was either too difficult or too time consuming to deliver any other way. People expect a lot more functionality than just TCP sockets and web interfaces nowadays.
I'd like to read more about the failure of Boeing to make the next gen after the Lockheed KH-11. Giant too big to fail Boeing is struggling with parts of the SLS and their version of a new human rated capsule for the space station. Being has many successes but also failures - yet I've never heard of this KH-11 successor failure?
I'm not saying it's a bad thing - just that I don't trust it to cover my ass.
Sure, but he participated in a drive by shooting. I'm on board with giving people a chance to learn etc, but I don't see why giving someone a second chance involves contracting with them to purchase surveillance services, and give them access to security camera footage, 911 calls, etc. Especially with already existing concerns about bias and privacy rights with these platforms. I don't think that a good second chance for someone that participated in a racially motivated drive by shooting is putting them in charge of a very sensitive part of the criminal justice system...
Again you're missing the point. Costco was a single example. There is no effective social distancing across most of California and hasn't been for weeks.

Given that reality, it's strange to block Tesla from opening, especially when work is voluntary and with careful safety guidelines. What exactly is the continued shutdown of this facility accomplishing?
Actually the transaction fees accounted for over 12% of the block reward for block 630000

Also, it may help to think about it this way: you don't mine the subsidy, you mine the transactions and reap the transaction fees. The subsidy, which halves ever 210000 blocks, is just that, a subsidy.

Imagine if more subsidies (like the US subsidy for corn that still exists since the first great depression) had been hard coded to expire?

It's been a slippery slope. Now the FED has to directly purchase ETFs to "rescue the market" from itself: https://twitter.com/boes_/status/1260029253145378818?s=20
This argument would make more sense if tesla wasn't defined as essential by most relevant legal definitions of essential [0] - or at least portions of their business (solar panels) are and those portions were also shut down by the county.

[0] Basically all of these include the federal governments list that can be found at the link below. This list explicitly includes the manufacture of solar panels amongst many other things.

https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Versio...

The only one relevant legal definition that doesn't, is Alameda county. But even they say "Businesses may also operate to manufacture distributed energy resource components, like solar panels."

Trying to pass off CPAP machines as ventilators, promising that there will be no cases in middle April, and promoting conspiracy theories that the number of deaths have been inflated, when they are almost certainly understated. Yeah, Musk is definitely the guy I wanna be taking advice from in this crisis.

Since numbers are not 100% clear...

(50 petabytes * 0.2% = 100 terabytes)

[(50 petabytes) / (1 gigabyte) =
50,000,000]

(50,000,000 * $0.005 = $250,000 US$)

Meaning based on my numbers, that is $250,000 USD a month to host 50 petabytes of data on BackBlaze.
