I pay a newspaper to discern the "truth" of real world events. They sell credibility. They have an interest (both ethical via their staff - most journalists want to tell the truth, and financial - why pay for a garbage paper) in being credible.

Facebook sells ads and has a history of poor decision making with regards to their platform. Would facebook improve the credibility of their platform at the expense of their bottom line? I doubt it. Facebook won't solve this problem for us. This is a human issue, not a technological one.
>there are ongoing discussions at the European Union level

I suspect that if the EU really does implement this, the US will likely make it against US law to obey media censorship requests from other countries against speech that the First Amendment protects. They probably should have done that a little while ago (curating content under the request of a foreign government should be one of those things that revoke your Section 230 privileges), but better late than never.

Other countries dictating what can and cannot be said on US services is already a big problem, and will only get worse, and the EU's bargaining position is much weaker than China's given that the vast majority of EU citizens use US services.

> My big question is: is AWS, or any other cloud-based hosting system, considered a platform under this law?

They'll probably go after the first point of contact they can find in the chain hosting the text they don't like.

Facebook would clearly be hit with the demand before Level3 would. A peer-to-peer message board that is mostly decentralized, but has a homebase in AWS to coordinate the swarms? Yeah, probably AWS is going to be told to do what they can to take it down.

To soapbox for a second - this kind of policing is ridiculous on its face from my perspective as a US citizen. (And that's coming from someone who has no issue with companies themselves moderating their websites, I think that's a natural solution to cultivate the online community that the site operators desire. But the government compelling them to do so is beyond the pale.)

The downside is having to serve larger pages which consist primarily of content which will not be read. This site is running on some resource-limited hardware as I understand it, so limiting the maximum potential size of each page served means more pages can be served more quickly, especially if you just cache the first page of a thread (which is all most people will engage with) rather than the entire thread.

> The message is that all the study, work, and effort to work in a meaningful career is a freaking joke, when all it takes is to be born a certain way and make huge amounts of money selling your body.

It isn't much different than not being born into wealth, or not being able to marry into wealth because of looks. It exposes an inequity in our society, one that wouldn't be so harsh if people didn't have to sell their body to eat and keep a roof over their head.

Many people are driven by things other than money. There are plenty of people who are good looking, but want nothing to do with making a living from it.

I think this assumes all engineers are seen as equal. In some cases they may be. But in other cases companies are looking for good talent. If that good talent can show many remote companies are interested in them, they can likely command a nicer salary. But from what I understand today there aren’t enough remote friendly companies to make that work.
Perhaps I could add that I know little about most of the world's certifications.

That is, unless every company goes full remote.

It depends on your overall strategy. If you want everyone to get the disease but at a rate that hospitals can handle, then hospital capacity vs case count will be a very important piece of data for making decisions. If you want to control the cases using test and trace, then you instead care about case count vs test and trace capacity, which is different from your hospital capacity.
This is great! One of my side projects right now is a medicine/routine/habit tracker. The goal is purely personal: I'm the primary caregiver for my father and keeping track of everything is just overwhelming.

It seems all these short term metrics lead to people picking the simplest tasks and processing them at high volume. I could easily up my story point output by 10x if I picked the simplest bugs and stories from the backlog. Instead I take the most difficult ones where there often is no output for several weeks or longer. Thank god my manger sees the value in that. I would hate an environment where my output is measured in day or hour increments.

I think you’re wrong. Being a data point isn’t the same thing as just existing. There has to be some space of models or information that can potentially be different because of the example. If it’s not possible for other people’s models to be different as a result, then it’s not data.

I would love to see a history book that would describe the past in more generalized terms (i.e. without necessarily mentioning particular dates, names, events, places or artifacts, while still with just enough detail) so as to emphasize the natural, as it were, progression of the development of the civilization. History is far from being random as it might seem to some.

> "Erlang/Elixir don't strive to make distributed caches. I've wrote apps that have been scaled to 5 separate servers and each server has their own cache. Takes a little more to warm the caches up on restarts but it has never been an issue so far."

Yeah that's what I figured, makes total sense. Got into exactly the same thinking designing a circuit breaker at work. Better to let individual nodes do their own circuit breaking rather than introduce state, the complexity savings largely exceed the small cost of a little extra time needed to circuit break.

So my recommendation for you is to start reading now rather than learning another 1500 characters you won't have much use for until your vocabulary is much more advanced.

I don't think Facebook has the public good in mind when they develop their product, but their bottom line first and foremost. They're a private company, they're beholden to their shareholders.

I also don't think that shifting responsibility from software to humans is a "thought terminating cliche" but a necessary step in how we orient the conversation about the mass dissemination of propaganda via tech platforms. There's a reason folks are eager to believe conspiracy theories and misinformation.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted; this is very much my experience. An actual physical server is usually either a database server that can literally manage years of up time (no I didn't like it, but they were on an isolated network and the Oracle DBAs were very particular about updates), or else VM hosts that support live migration so nobody cares if we happen to have one host offline for an hour or two while it's patched and rebooted.

I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to trust promises from a US administration right now, but I can potentially imagine a (far?) future scenario where Taiwan agrees to build fabs in the US in exchange for official "Taiwan is a separate country and definitely not part of China" recognition from the US. A lot of stars would have to align though, and even then it would be a pretty big risk for Taiwan and possibly still not worth it.
> That's out of ~330 million US citizens for a rate of ~76%. Toddlers, children, and poor teenagers are people that also exist and can be in a grocery store as asymptomatic carriers of coronavirus. I was generous and went with 80%.

Okay sure, but nit-picking that number doesn't change the core argument: you only need 60% for contact tracing to work, according to the most recent research. Remember that the goal here isn't to ensure that NOBODY gets COVID, it's to drive R0 down to < 1. People in grocery stores will still be exposed, but if R0 < 1, then the disease will eventually die out.

> Your second link is just a study that suggests contact tracing COULD work. But the fact that something could work in theory doesn't mean it will work in practice. I don't know where you got your 60% number from because that number isn't mentioned in that study. I don't think it matters anyway because we won't get anywhere near 60%.

You need to read the full article before attempting to refute it, but I'll help you out.

"The efficacy of contact tracing (the y axis of Fig. 3) is the square of the proportion of the population using the app, multiplied by the probability of the app detecting infectious contacts, multiplied by the fractional reduction in infectiousness resulting from being notified as a contact."

I've taken a screenshot of the diagram for you: https://imgur.com/ZXPLLxk

The solid black line shows the threshold for epidemic control.

While you're right that the paper doesn't claim that it is CERTAIN to work, nobody is sure. In fact, it's odd to me that you are so positive that it WON'T work. "This has absolutely no chance of working in the US." Even scientists don't make claims like this with that level of comical confidence.

> Singapore tried this idea and they made it voluntary just like it is being made voluntary in the US. 20-25% of people used it. Now they are trying to make it involuntary by forcing businesses to scan phones at entrances to businesses, schools, and healthcare facilities. Do you really think Americans will accept this? No way. I doubt the legality of this approach in the first place.

> It would take Donald Trump signing a law to get to 60%. People want this to work because it makes them feel better. Reality has other ideas.

Okay but what happens when Apple and Google build this into the operating system, and contact tracing is always on, like the bluetooth radio, the push notification service, or OS-level location services?

My only reservation to using Kotlin is IDE support. I know its great in IntelliJ but licenses are expensive and I don't want to advocate something that ties us to a single IDE. Lots of our guys use Eclipse and VSCode.

I know there's plugins for Kotlin support in other IDE's, have you used them and if so are they any good?

It’s not useful for others to predict experiences from it.

It’s similar to the selection bias effect of college professors encouraging students to pursue careers in academia because they did themselves.

Or to be more blunt, it would be like a lottery-ticket winner saying, “the best career advice is to win the lottery” ... there is no actionable info that a listener can take away or use, it’s purely idiosyncratic.

I’m sorry you thought it was a stupid comment, but I very much stand by what I said and feel it is not stupid, rather a very critical caveat.
