> Healthcare professionals are paid much more compared to the average UK citizen. Especially doctors, the average pay (100k pounds)

This is just utter nonsense. The average UK salary is around £30,000. Nurses can expect to earn anywhere between £22,000 and £30,000.

Junior doctors (which a new doctor can expect to be for somewhere around 5 years) starts at £23,000 increasing to somewhere between £30,000 to £45,000. GP's earn around £75,000.

Depending on the source Apple has 51% to 61% of the mobile market in the USA

https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/united-sta...

And 66% of the tablet market share in the USA

https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/tablet/united-sta...

So yes, Apple can easily be considered a monopoly in the USA. Monopolies are regulated by countries.
However, evidence of absence is unlikely to be found as the vast majority of researchers tend not to bother publishing papers with negative results. So if an idea seems like it should have been researched already, but no research papers are to be found, it may very well be because the evidence of absence simply hasn't been shared.

> Why trust a model if you can do a serology study instead?

I think the earlier tests were pretty bad, and the newer tests are expensive, but also this kind of modelling is used for other respiratory illness deaths (flu, flu and pneumonia, rhinovirus, adenovirus) so they want to start developing the models to be used in those annual respiratory illness death reports.
> perhaps it makes sense to stay in the markets than convert to cash at a definite loss?

Given Google's reach, not the wisest decision for any browser maker.

Google being the main revenue source for Firefox is often cited and is true, but if you look at Brave, its competition, what they do is to block a publisher's ads, replacing them with their own, being essentially racketeering and I'm surprised how they weren't declared illegal already.

Fact of the matter is, if people don't pay money for browser licenses, and they don't, and if ads don't fund those browsers, and they currently do, then alternatives to Chrome cannot exist, if not funded by another mega corporation that can burn money just so Google can't be the only player, like what Apple does.

---

But back to decision making — we are talking about AMP pages being served by searching on Google.com, because that's the major source of these links.

Given the search engine is Google's property and not some public utility, they can destroy any browser maker if they wanted to.

Speaking of which, if you're so bothered with Google.com serving AMP pages, well, why not choose an alternative instead?

A large portion of every sector in Germany (aside from maybe the parliament) is immigrant workers, because Germany has a lot of immigrants (2nd highest foreign born population in the world, after the US):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_d...

And particularly a lot of immigrants that come to Germany for work as it has a strong job market, relatively liberal immigration policy & a very old native population.

> From what I have seen in the Middle East when you don’t have to work a shitty job because everyone gets minimum money every month, nobody does those jobs.

That's because those jobs are shitty to begin with.

From where I'm standing, it's clear that the problem is the inherited shittyness of those jobs, not UBI.

Perhaps it's worth a shot investing some work making those jobs less shitty?

I mean, FAANGs felt the need to invest heavily in job satisfaction to reduce attrition and improve their public image. Why are some companies, and even government entities, complicit in perpetuating the shitty nature of the occupations they expect others to have?

Germany also imported farm labor from Romania and cramped them in airplanes without any social distancing.

Meanwhile I hear lots of Germans don't really work and still get to live high quality life.

I am here suggesting that Germany only cares about its own citizens as they help Germany enable control over capital and means of production, including technology financing, adminstration at the same time it doesn't care about immigrants as the supply is always there, up for grabs whenever a penny is thrown at them.

I wouldn't be suprized if foreign people usually don't make executives of top companies in Germany.

There is no reason for other EU countries to be coperate with Germany when it is known to treat people of other EU nation poorly.

Disappointingly thin article for Ars. Echoing the sentiment of the siblimg comment here, I'd have expected prominent mention of vi, too.
My answer to your initial question (what do people think amazon should do?)

Invest less in growth and more in the human capital that is essential to running the business.

Playing by a different set of rules guided by Jeff's meglomania has driven them to the top and that is laudable.

Once you've conquered the world do you still need to keep squashing the people you lead? What is it serving at that point other than pure egotism ?

Windows has a brightness slider in the side bar, but it doesn't seem to work with external monitors. Probably because OS-level brightness controls were implemented when laptops became popular, and traditional PCs with external monitors became an afterthought.
I have been using an oldish Lenovo m900 tiny for some time. It covers most of my needs, in a one litre case. It cost me 130 dollars. A SFF case would mean the non-low-power CPU which would mean even higher performance.

Once you go down the SBC rabbit hole, computers with a lot less power than that easily cost just as much when you have all the stuff you need.
For people who think stocks are overpriced: what would be an appropriate price and how did you come up with that number? I haven't seen an answer to this yet from the "stock market is irrational" crowd.

I think in 99% of cases it's just a feeling - that the decline should have been bigger given how bad the economic impact seem.
At the moment you must go through glibc. For example issuing SYSENTER or INT 80h will not work.

We have only run C applications so far, so I'm unsure how it will all work for servers written in other programming languages. I think applications which rely on complex multi-process middleware (like Java JBoss, etc) will be hard or even impossible to port.

The game will forever live in infamy because it creates a compelling narrative along with folklore around carts buried in desert landfills. The small changes the author makes show that the game was salvageable given modern testing and had some ideas ahead of it's time.

> Is it inconceivable to you there are people who are ok with doing cleaning jobs?

This.

In some municipalities, garbage collectors do very well, and the occupation is even desirable. In others, it's the bottom of the barrel.

A job is what you do from 9 to 5 in exchange for a salary. Is it so hard to understand that some occupations are simply so bad that there aren't that many people willing to do them, particularly if they pay so little?
Yes. Rise all wages to the point where everyone can at least fully support a family with it. You know, like during the good times when capitalism was still generating prosperity beside the usual death and destruction.
Thanks.

The prices are even more surprising if that quote by morphle is true and he can offer a TB for $0.25. From that perspective, even B2 is expensive.
OT but it also means less burgers eaten overall, leading to a smaller burden on the healthcare system. Sounds like a win to me :)
The library this uses is an old enough bit of python that when I started 12 years ago, I looked at the code and thought the code looked a bit crusty and old.
At the level of colocation and the likes, I believe it’s standard to just pay for the pipe and you can use it as heavily as you like. Some hosting providers extend that to their users, as well.

But there are practicality concerns to this for the specific domain of video distribution; suppose you’re a solo video producer: most of the time there’s a certain background level of watching, but when you release a new video there’s a massive spike of watchers. So in this case, having an enormously fat pipe and charging by data transferred is probably better for you than having a thin pipe that you can use as heavily as you like. If you have a 1Gbps link, for example, and 5Mbps video, you can never have even 200 people watching at any given time. But if you have a 40Gbps link and are charged by data transferred, you’ll be able to cope with a surge of closer to 8,000 viewers at once. (I bet that in practice it’d be struggling before even half that, but the point stands.)

I know some hosting colocation deals are done as a certain baseline with burst capacity, e.g. 1Gbps with 10Gbps burst capacity, which would mean something like “you can use up to 10Gbps, so long as 99% of the time you stay below 1Gbps”.

But all of these sorts of considerations are mostly important only when you’re a big shot, not when you’re just starting out or if you’re just doing it solo.

For myself, though, I’m more likely to accept B2’s ~1.5¢ per watch-hour rates, using it to host the actual video files (you can configure PeerTube thus), because they’ll have gigantic pipes. Then if I magically reach the point where that’s costing large sums of money, then I can optimise it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen dang or pg say that quick, low-effort comments that express enthusiasm for a comment or post are fine (whereas low-effort, drive-by dismissals are very much not fine). I've tried searching but it's not obvious what search terms would turn up such a comment.

But I hope my recollection about that is right. Yes we want comments to be substantive in general, but we don't want to be surly or even Grinch-like when someone is just expressing excitement and affirmation for someone else's contribution. I'm sure that's not what pg or dang would want here.

As someone who relatively freshly started smoking 1.5 years ago, I find it insidious. After stopping for a day or two, I actually feel better as tension goes away and I sleep a lot. Shortly, however, I start randomly getting sneezes, runny nose, and slight ill-like feeling in my head.

Part of what makes me start again is the desire to avoid spooking others with those flu-like symptoms in the middle of an epidemic, since I live in a densely populated area.

I don’t have a clear idea of what mechanism is at work here, my hypothesis is that the withdrawal somehow suppresses my immune system.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, nicotine patches aren’t as good (or useful at all) at reducing the respiratory symptoms in short term. I suppose it’s not purely nicotine withdrawal that’s causing this.

I also prefer light themes, and what I hate the most is the switching between light and dark. Even if I preferred dark themes, I would keep it light to avoid the flashes and the text burn-in effect on my retina. I weep when I see my colleagues, who always cheer when an application finally implements dark mode, not realizing they're getting blinded by the brightness of their displays set to the maximum, and not by the white backgrounds.

Ok, but then amazons prices will be higher. Taken to the extreme amazon might not exist because it can’t deliver the low prices it has so far.

Is that what you want? If you do, that’s fine, that’s a fair enough perspective, but understand that you are probably making it harder for people with less money. Same goes for Walmart.
I don't think the CoffeeScript advocates did anything wrong at all. CoffeeScript was a popular solution with a healthy ecosystem, no one knew when JS was going to get these features, and TypeScript was still an emerging player (just like other typed JS variants like Flow).

Also, when I wrote in CoffeeScript, (1) I loved the JavaScript ecosystem more, (2) I understood the code I wrote better and built and learned more quickly, and (3) I understood the nuances of an JS-extension language, which helped me quickly understand what TypeScript was when I heard of it. I'd assume that other developers got some of these benefits as well, and these benefits may have been well worth the cost of converting from CoffeeScript later.

How to Become a Data Scientist from Software Developer
The COVID-19 epidemic is not a black swan event. It is a foreseeable event with a computable probability of happening. Epidemics are recurring events throughout human history, including in the present day. Sure, the recurrence is low, especially for global pandemics, but you can be almost absolutely sure that within the next 100 years there will be another one.

In fact, even in the black swan book, they are explicitly given as an example of rare but NOT black swan-style events.

Point being, governments and corporations should have epidemic plans. It should never come as a surprise. Sure, a small mom-an-pop place or a start-up can't really prepare, but a corporation the size of Amazon should have an epidemic plan and reserves for that. Not having one would simply be irresponsible, both to shareholders and to employees.

Edit to add: airlines, restaurant, and hotel chains should have been the most aware of this. If they do not have plans for resisting a 2-6 month epidemic when business is shut down, then they are simply gambling on government intervention. There is almost 0% probability of operating one of these companies for 50 years and not having to battle at least a local epidemic in a large country.
> They aren't going to do it for nothing - certainly not if their neighbours are receiving the same compensation for idling and watching Netflix all day.

UBI does not replace wages AFAIK. Perhaps people can choose to idle on Netflix all day - but I doubt that will happen with the majority. The UBI will offer a stable safety net for all just-in-case, but most will opt to either save the money or spend it (good for the economy) most of the time, and work again to gain extra wages. This just sounds like it will reduce survival-stress levels for people overall and that's a great thing.
