The final question, about whether investigating consciousness in a post-pandemic world is more urgent, absolutely baffles me. I can’t imagine anything more remote from the pragmatic necessities of readjusting daily life than something as abstract as evolving whole new subdomians and paradigms of understanding.

Am I missing something?
To specify, it does contain what SwiftUI calls a List. And each row in the list can of course contain a number of widgets, so you can approximate a table.

However for the desktop, a good real table, with columns, would be nice.
I don’t think that makes much of a difference to the part selection (it’s the same board). If you look at the schematics they say you can use either through hole or SMD. SMD is preferred:

Point-free paths sound similar to cubical type theory from HoTT. Is there a relation?

Great work!
I've worked on multiple teams at large companies. Tech teams lead by hacker types would make sure to respect and reward technical competence, even if relationships did still matter a whole lot.

On the other hand, I've recently worked in "machine learning" teams led by academic snake oil salesmen who publish lots of papers in ML journals and have fancy PhDs. They often regard coding and technical delivery as "grunt work" and do nothing but play corrupt politics, delivering little value. I have a hard time believing the fact that they came from academia has nothing to do with that, although I guess it may be similarly bad under other non-technical leadership and impostors.

That's a good argument for why we can't stay locked down indefinitely.

But it's quite a strong claim that nobody will make anything if they receive a small check from the government that allows them to not worry about becoming homeless.

Surely most people want more than the bare minimum in life and will continue to work.

Hopefully MongoDB (the company) take note of this and ask their developer advocates and marketing writers not to misrepresent reality.

They're strongly incentivized by the nature of their work to defend the product - but yes, when it comes to claims about data integrity, stretching and distorting the truth will come back and bite you.

We all make mistakes, so it's better not to villify understandable miscommunications like this, as long as apologies and corrections for any disruption and cost caused can be made.

Yeah - someone said the same comment. Me not knowing anything researched it and what I seen trending indicated the opposite. How is this reliably checked ?
Thanks for this.

> and then de-listed the original thing from their store

While they don't delist items, their algo favors products they sell directly to the extent that Amazon will get the buy box over a third party seller even when that seller is reputable and cheaper. Add that the 3rd party seller has to pay a sales fee to Amazon, often making it impossible to compete with them without approaching zero margin.

It's not delisting but it's the next best thing. If Amazon starts selling something you sell, your sales are gone, you were just free market research for them.
This is why I put the word probably in the comment and why I stated that for this particular requirement I actually don't think this is the best approach.

You can always screw around with code, redefining code blocks in C would be fun to do.

But I did have situations where FIVE = 5 changed to FIVE = "five" or FIVE = "5" or FIVE = "vijf" (Dutch) or FIVE = "....." (ok, the last one is hypothetical, but maybe you want five points because you tick them off in a for-loop? I've seen something clever-ish like that in a particular fun Fizz Buzz example).

The layer indirection is indeed a classical trade-off that you do or do not want to make.

Regardless of that, your question proves the point I want to make to kbos87.
> ...there is a complete lack of operating on the assumption of good faith and clarifying intent before making assertions as to other peoples intentions which is rampant currently.

This is basically what all politics is. People projecting thoughts (or lack thereof) in bad faith on each other. Though it does seem that the fraction of society sucked into this toxic discourse has grown to cover practically everything lately (in the US anyway).

But also the outrage machine of Twitter etc is obviously biased toward the extreme views and outliers. Where 99/100 people might say 'meh, another failure to predict the future like most', the remaining 1/100 blows his top and gets the attention.

Perhaps we can import a bunch of filipinos to do all the work?

Saudi Arabia is an interesting example to study UBI, since their economy pretty much runs on free oil money. Saudi nationals are notorious for having bad work ethics, and they have to import many foreign workers to run the economy. To prepare the country for a post oil world companies are now required to hire a minimum percentage of Saudi nationals.

Ask HN: Are blood test results of people who died with COVID19 available?
Oh, well that is a big, big, caveat.

It's fine for what it is. But I think a particle detector that most people imagine is really something you want to be able to hold portably in the air and detect ambient/impinging radiation from unknown sources, rather than have to put samples in a closed container.

If there were some modification that made that possible (getting around the light-tight requirement), that would make this incredibly more useful.
The article rises a good point that emergency universal income is better than paying companies to keep people at work as done in many European companies. Post COVID world will require different jobs and many companies will cease to exist so paying them now is just waste of money and delays inevitable while locking people at doomed jobs.
I think you are arguing semantics. You are talking about what makes good science when evaluated by a person skilled in that particular art the parent poster is talking about how groups of people discover increasingly true pictures of the world.

Human beings are at the very best arrogant and fallible by nature, incapable of truth. When you want to improve your model of the world by including some heretofore unknown to you concept,fact, or set of facts you can opt to learn everything from the ground up in order to develop a deep understanding of the topic or accept or slot in some preexisting truths and models as described by others that you presume to be true.

This presumption of correctness is typically based on their standing with yours or preferably with their own peers combined with your assessment of them based on how well their statements comport with things you know or at least believe to be true. This is typical because the world is incredibly complex and our time here is finite.

Even smart skilled people have to lean on option two a lot outside of their particular area of expertise. When intelligent people do this they ask themselves whose views do people skilled in a particular area think are worth listening to or what on average do people skilled in this area say about something. This is what is meant by scientific consensus. Unintelligent people ask themselves what do my fellow unskilled peers think about this or what do I already think is true and are their any experts who confirm what I already want/believe to be true.

When people say that the scientific consensus is that cigarettes cause cancer they mean I haven't fully examined the complexity of the human lung and the effects of carcinogens on same but I accept the fact that many experts have done so and are telling me that If I keep smoking I'm more likely to die of cancer. This is converse to the person who also doesn't have time to understand how lungs work who eagerly looks for someone with credentials who says its OK if I keep smoking.

People talk about scientific consensus precisely because in a broad population of users you can find at least one party with any given credential willing to espouse any given stupid thing for money or for kicks. It's especially useful if you can get someone who actually IS smart and therefore respected in one area to believe he knows something about a field totally outside his area of expertise and lend existing cred to a stupid idea that an actual expert would dismiss. This strategy is very commonly on display in the discussion about climate change for example.

I'd worry this creates a large underclass where the people have no purpose and no point to their lives.

It's like what happens when we remove the need for physical labor. People's health declines. Some people join gyms to compensate, some engage in purposeless jogging, but not that many.

it might work like a mask if you always inhale through a filter and an inferno.

It might even purify your second-hand smoke.

but yes, you have a very real point. I remember reading about some drug that seemed to give people heart attacks, but it actually cured what it was supposed to and heart attacks were the next statistically likely thing to get you.
Yes that's true, but the 17M figure isn't the interesting / groundbreaking thing. At least it shouldn't be made out to be as if that's the significant thing.

17M just provides the baseline of "normal". Tons more data isn't needed to get that right. 170M wouldn't make a difference. I bet 1.7M wouldn't make a big difference either.

What we really need to know right now is how the Covid deaths behave. All that this offers is the 5,683 sample, but the title inflates it to emphasize the 17M. We need the 5,683 sample to be merged with other samples to reach 56,830, etc. That is the significant thing.
If you measure productivity by economic output / hours worked, allowing those who have no desire to work to be excluded sounds like a good way to maximize it.
AWS is not that dominant. Azure is half its size and GCP is a serious competitor. Not only that, there are plenty of companies you can go to if you don’t want managed services and just want VPSs.

Besides that, Amazon itself admits that only 5% of Enterprise workloads are on any cloud platform.

Any company - or heck most tech nerds - can build our infrastructure to suit their needs without going to managed services. Whether they should is based on their business model.

Before anyone tries to “educate me” about what AWS offers, I know the ins and outs of AWS.
I don't know whether it is, but with relatively low personal wealth for the average German, low income growth, and plenty of industry, it may be. If it is, I don't believe it has anything to do with keeping millions of people at home and over-taxing the rest to pay for them though.
Interesting at least to me: one of the article co-authors is Garry Kasparov (I imagine THE Garry Kasparov?).
There's nothing odd about that.

Check out one of the many doccos from the UK where people on benefits don't want to work and do fuck all to enrich themselves or society whilst not working. I used to live in an area full of those people until I managed to escape when I was 18.

> Google's dominant market position was achieved through market competition not through impairing the ability of smaller companies to enter markets.

Googlebot was allowed to its thing pretty freely back in the day on the assumption that Google will remain a search company only and will not step on the toes of the companies whose websites it was parsing. That proved out not to be true.

What's more, if today I want to parse Google's web properties (let's say its GoogleMaps data) the same way that Googlebot used to parse the websites of the companies I used to work for I'll get banned almost immediately.

The headbands were handled via a partnership with Zhejiang Brainco Technology Co Ltd. so donation is far from the right word to use. One of their partner's cofounders is also a Harvard PhD holder so it's hardly a case of the Chinese company just being there to take up space as is often claimed around here. This is a donation in the same way that lots of large American companies are Irish. And the objections from parents as well as the government's cited reason for the shutdown were on data privacy grounds according to multiple articles which is a valid criticism but unrelated to the actual usefulness of the devices. So I'm not sure what you're actually driving at here.
Except machines make a lot of stuff. Technology makes low skilled labor obsolete, and it becomes difficult to fight unemployment with unskilled labor. It becomes a servant economy.

There is little risk to giving free money to 20% of the poorest people.

Define "make stuff". I wouldn't listen to a billionaire when it comes to economics.

My point isn't on whether or not all his views are legitimate—that's a pointless argument to make. My point is that quite a lot of people (probably the majority of Chinese) are on his side regarding his viewpoints on that.

> Most households received $2500+. Many of those will have received in excess of 3.5k. Some will have received several thousand

That is even less sustainable than a $1200 payment. It's a counter-argument to the entire concept of UBI. Where does the money come from? Are you just going to make it up out of thin air?

The global population grew from about 1.6 billion to about 6 billion in the span of a hundred years (1900-2000). Before the pandemic, over twice as many people were considered part of the "global middle class" than there were people alive in 1900. In that time, quality of life indicators have skyrocketed for all except the most isolated tribes.

Humanity has known that "wealth" isn't a zero sum game since the fall of mercantilism. Universal basic income is just the next phase of that realization.
There is no range. Whoever is connected to the same Wifi network can communicate or share files. You could say the range is only as good as the signals from your router.

They keep a lot of stuff that is currently unavailable to the public. Maybe one day it will be out of copyright and then they can publish it quickly.

In the mean time at least it is not lost.
I've still never come across a decent answer to this question, so maybe someone can help: why is Basic Income (in the US) preferable to a Great Depression-style Works Progress Administration?

The Works Progress Administration (WPA; renamed in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration) was an American New Deal agency, employing millions of job-seekers (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads.

Headed by Harry Hopkins, the WPA provided jobs and income to the unemployed during the Great Depression in the United States, while developing infrastructure to support the current and future society.

Above all, the WPA hired workers and craftsmen who were mainly employed in building streets. Thus, under the leadership of the WPA, more than 1 million km of streets and over 10,000 bridges were built, in addition to many airports and much housing.

Much of the infrastructure in the US is crumbling and needs to be replaced or fixed in the coming decades. Wouldn't society benefit more from training and hiring people to clean streets, rebuild infrastructure, beautify urban areas, etc. than simply sending everyone a check?

I know that Basic Income isn't simply to replace jobs lost to automation, but I don't see how paying people to improve aspects of civilization is not obviously better than paying people with no expectations.
Germany doesn’t have a UBI. When people start earning they lose many of those benefits quickly. That’s the difference.
Paid for? The only limit to spending on debt denominated in your own currency is inflation. It is literally the only risk. If that money is used productively, then it won't cause inflation at all. I'd argue that preventing individuals from falling off economic cliffs would net an increase in productivity close to the amount spent into existence.
A small number of people in history have done something useful with their free time so you think we should pay everyone in the hope that more people take up coding and writing?

Why does UBI make me want to write novels or create linux? I don't want to live on minimum wage, I want to work and earn lots of money so my family can have nice things. I won't get that on your UBI poverty level wages.
What we have in Germany isn't even close to UBI.

I've been building a TUI tool to operate Golang linters intuitively, called golintui (https://github.com/nakabonne/golintui).

A noteworthy feature is that you can open a file by specifying the issue line.

"What do you like about Go?" when asked, I always answer, "easy to make a linter". Thanks to that, a bunch of linters are on the rampage. I've been wanted to try them on the UI in a casual way, that's why I made this tool.

I don't think that's correct. From what I remember of watching his talk[0], Ryan is a fan of JavaScript. TypeScript gives optional typing, so you can still write normal JavaScript anyway. I don't think there was ever a plan to enforce types in Deno.

In my opinion, the integration between Objective-C and Swift is so incredibly seamless, that there's no need to translate existing Objective-C code.

When I started working at my current client, there was a huge existing Objective-C code base to talk to an internal HTTP API. I just started coding. When I needed to add functions, I subclassed Objective-C classes in Swift.

Hey, project owner here. Glad you all enjoy this! :-)
I've never built my particle detectors on a breadboard. It is extremely likely that they will oscillate or frustrate in another way. You have to keep in mind that the amplification is enormously large, per particle only a few thousands of charges are being generated and turned into a still tiny voltage.
The lower 10M-feedback electron-detector version works if _soldered_ on a prototyping/veroboard. Those with regular hole patterns - if the parts are put really close together.

Please don't be put off by the circuit board requirement, I have listed it on kitspace such that it is really easy and cheap to get one: https://kitspace.org/boards/github.com/ozel/diy_particle_det...
Even if you have never ordered a PCB, it should be straight forward using kitspace as a proxy to get it right.

For beginners, I would propose soldering the electron-detector first (on the plus side, it has 4 times more the sensitivity) and if that works swap few parts and upgrade to the alpha-spectrometer variant since that is a bit more tricky to operate and get running.
I've commented on the through-hole/SMD choice and similar questions in this twitter thread https://twitter.com/0zelot/status/1260931205676990466.

In short, I choose leaded components over SMD where possible such that it is easy to solder. But analog signal integrity and low noise vs. signal require a circuit board.
Most will. Obviously not all will. Presumably the loss of the extremely strong counter-incentives to work that are built into the welfare system will give better results there. You’ll never eliminate freeloaders entirely and I think it’s important to acknowledge and address that for UBI to gain broader adoption.
Thanks man, I already applied it to my HN using Stylus extension.

True, but doesn't this even save bandwidth because it doesn't need to reload the whole page just to update that detail? Either way it still works without JS, which can't be said about most modern websites.
It's a fully fledged programming language. An open-source programming language, at that, with a lot of community input and involvement.

Not a macOS or iOS app creation DSL.

It's also quite pleasant to use, and has already seen a few uses beyond macOS and iOS apps, including some backend development (Vapor, Kitura, SwiftNIO, probably others).

So you could use it to write command line tools. To write Linux or Windows apps. Or to write servers. Just like any other programming language.
