The brain drain is heavy in the other direction (towards the US from elsewhere), and doesn't seem to be slowing down. As long as the US can pay far higher salaries than other countries, the social benefits are irrelevant for the high performers.

> we'll also see fewer highly-skilled immigrants wanting to join our workforce

The high skilled people would earn far more in the US than elsewhere, and get a lot of benefits as part of their high paying job. It's difficult to see the brain drain to the US stopping, let alone the reverse brain drain you forsee.
I partially agree with the comment above, but I also think it misunderstands how numerical models are often used. At least where I've built them (not epidemiology), the goal wasn't necessarily to gather the most accurate set of inputs and produce the most accurate prediction of the output. The goal was often to help a highly skilled operator explore the parameter space and guide their intuition on the problem, to help that person and simulation together reach some decision.

So code quality mattered less then usual. If there's a significant bug, then the operator will probably notice, and if there's an insignificant bug then no one cares. The large number of input parameters also doesn't matter. The operators are fully aware that they could artificially manipulate the output to wherever they wanted, but to do so would be cheating only themselves.

It feels to me like Ferguson's model was built with similar intent, and probably served that purpose well. The problem came only when the media portrayed the model as a source of authority apart from the people operating it, perhaps to create a feeling of objectivity behind the decisions driven from that. That created an expectation of rigor that either didn't exist (in the software engineering), or fundamentally can't exist given our current knowledge of the science (in the input assumptions).
Yes, but it is not announced due to works council process. It'll take couple of weeks at least.
If you want to edit wikipedia, you need to know and play their game.

Politically charged topics on wikipedia need multiple reliable sources.

I can’t find any sources, that would pass as reputable on wikipedia, on this guy.

Maybe if there was a script from Senate from Rand Paul, who spoke his name publicly, that could be used. New York Post is the only kind-of-reputable source I can find, I don’t think that’s enough for now

edit: people link Conservapedia etc, but you can quickly see the stuff is full of misinformation. The like to point out, as Rand did, that Schiff daughter was in some relationship with the CIA guy. This is provably false.

Maybe the Wikipedia rule on sources is actually good.

Right. Still curious about monitoring cell activity only during calls. Thinking if you can monitor the cells, just look at the front line cells for comms.
Anyone have any insight in to why people shifting to eat at home would lead to less overall food demand though?

Presumably, if you have X food being produced by farms across the country, and people eating it, but split between restaurants (Y) and home (Z)... I would expect X to roughly equal Y + Z.

I would also expect Y + Z = total food eaten and not see any change in the value of Y + Z regardless of how food shifts between the two.

So how can you take away Y, but not increase Z at the same proportion?

Guesses:
1) Restaurants use a lot more ingredients? Seems unlikely since margins are so low.

2) Consumers reduce waste because they are not balancing getting food from two sources and are more likely to eat everything in their fridge? (My wife, son and I experienced this after we found out our son has food allergies to more than nuts and we basically only eat home cooked food), but I don't know if that is big enough.

3) Something else?

My gut tells me we are seeing a reduction in food waste which is due to less supplies, people being more careful. IDK.
Not necessarily, people don't cook the same things they purchase at restaurants. Additionally, a fair number of people don't seem to be competent at cooking much past a scrambled egg, so a lot of people choose packaged/prepared foods versus raw ingredients.
Right and exactly. My guess is that this phrase has actually been trained into the ML algorithm as a "no-go" by the community (not by direct action from Google) because it's primarily used in contexts where Chinese nationals or national-sympathetics flag it. If the phrase isn't generally used in contexts that don't get flagged, the algorithm would learn quickly that "nobody" wants to see it.

The other side of this is that app developers are screwed when it comes to compensation.

Restaurants can't put leftovers in the fridge, so there's a huge amount of waste in the restaurant system.

Chilling. Given the scope of BigTech, 10x chilling. An 'undesirable' can end up on a secret black list for whatever petty reason, and then have a huge streak of targeted algorithmic 'bad luck' to destroy their life. Can't find a good job, a good mate, a good house, everything costs you 15% more? It must be something wrong with you.
There is indeed a problem here, and FAANG are being hamhanded and overaggressive in their response, but it's hard to find an overt bias that maps neatly onto the dominant (American?) political cleavage.

Much more often (as here), these companies are 1) making decisions in a way that allows them to abstract away and thus ignore the nuances of individual cases 2) putting the burden of implementation on underpaid workers who are not equipped to make these decisions and 3) reacting to any noticeable pushback by moving 200% in the opposite directions.

Locating the problem in Political motivations overlooks the economic incentives that monopolies have to 1) lobby/appease the people in power 2) use political opportunity to squelch competition and 3) treat their workers as disposable commodities.

that's why I say self-care is important. there's no point in torturing yourself over everything. we have to vary how much responsibility we want to take based on how hopelessly things feel outside our control. but deluding yourself into thinking the world isn't bad is just putting your head in the sand. yeah, it sucks, but we're all in this together. By being aware, if the opportunity arises to do something about it (e.g. by lobbying a presidential candidate, or a president), then you will be able to. If you don't know about it, you can't do anything even if some opportunity arises.

Technically in a free market there wouldn't be any shortages because the prices will go through the roof. Food's still available, it's just that it costs a fortune. This is not what's happening right now because we don't have a free market, due to anti-price gouging laws.

Arguably they don't have to make that money off you directly.

They just need you to not be elsewhere making that money for someone else, or disrupting a market that they are entrenched in. IMHO much of the FAANG hiring / head count / acquisition process could be analyzed in this light.

That is particularly galling. It is interesting that the story was challenged in its totality when (ex) president Mary Robinson mentioned it during a visit to Turkey (she incorrectly stated that the heraldic coat of arms of Drogheda town contained a star-and-crescent in gratitude for this act, whereas it was the emblem of an earlier English military governor).

From my understanding, the shortages have already happened or are already happening. I was able to buy flour at my grocery store for first time in 2 months yesterady, I haven't seen a sale on meat since March, up till May we still had buying limits on milk and eggs.

From my understanding, the bottlenecks are in the processing plants due to massive shift in demand preferences. Restuarants take their orders differently than consumers, often buying whole sections of an animal or at different style cuts, or in the case of flour buying it in 25-50 lbs bags. Consumers widely prefer more processing of their meats (meaning boneless skinlesss chicken breast rather than a whole chicken) or smaller purchases sizes.

Honestly, I don't think this will get worse in the US in the short of mid term. The biggest issue is that the food prices being offered farmers/ranchers right now are terrible, so if we see a demand spike post recovery (due to restaurants reopening) we may not have the supply.
Once upon a time, Python's most common use was in web dev where it was basically the middle ground where you wanted something more productive than Java but more explicit than Ruby.

Exactly, this hits on an incredibly important point that gets constantly ignored in “disruptive” business models: if a particular market segment is “underserved” then it often means that there are poor cost economics in play. Sure, Uber can reduce those costs through algorithmic central routing and planning, but that only goes so far and some markets are just never going to be profitable to serve (at a given quality of service).

The East India Tea Company wasn't a fully antonymous entity though by the time of the American Revolution; it was more equivalent to a state-owned enterprise found in the likes of modern day China. Because of this any "powerful" moves the company made was assumed to be an extension of British political will moreso than that of some profit-seeking NGO.

What if moderation of hate speech is part of the product?
Exactly.. really hate the attitude of "oh well someone might abuse it so let's just screw everyone instead"
My theory is that it’s because they stayed open. The numbers are higher, yes, but it has not been a catastrophic disaster like many predicted. Crucially, the health care systems are not overwhelmed.

So that is an important starting point for a discussion: it is possible to keep things mostly open (with appropriate safety measures) without overwhelming the healthcare system.

Note that it is possible that Sweden’s approach will eventually lead to a comparable number of deaths as its neighbors, but at an accelerated rate. Namely, it is possible that people are getting infected at a higher rate, which explains the higher numbers, but that the mortality rate will eventually be the same because the healthcare system is not overwhelmed. This depends on when and if we will find a vaccine and better treatments, which is an unknown.

On the other side of the equation, there is no mass unemployment, no hours-long lines at food banks, people are not suffering from mental health problems due to isolation, and so on. If Sweden does end up paying a higher price for its policies, it will still enjoy these benefits. They decided that it is worth the trade off. They are trying to prevent covid victims while also trying to protect potential economic victims, whose suffering is not being ignored. Is that wrong?

[*] 88% of deaths in Sweden are people over 70, and I believe many of those were in nursing homes. So it is possible that fine-tuning the policy can significantly reduce the death rate while keeping things open.

Not in Sweden. To start a limited liability company here you only need 2500 euro and no accountant and Swden does have plenty of successful tech companies, it is that the US tech giants tend to buy them out.

I own two tiny companies, neither of them which has an accountant.
Something has to fill the increased consumer food demand though which is what I think the parent comment was getting at originally - what will do that? One could argue reduction in waste but I'm not sure that'd be enough.
The subsidization part.

Demand generation is needed because people aren't going out, because government told them not to.

Now the government needs to do it's part to keep the economy going - massive stimulus.
That makes Huawei's 5G chips much less commercially competitive, giving Qualcomm a leg up in the handset market and making it much harder for Huawei to win.

However, for base stations, which are the real prize, Huawei already has a ~1y stockpile of Xilinx FPGAs, so any effects on Huawei's 5G market position will take some time to manifest.
> Is it ok to "express hate" based on the clothes you wear or job you do?

Morally? No I don't think we should go around expressing hate much at all. It's not productive and, well, hateful. I think the question you mean to ask is "do you believe that expressing hate based on your clothes or job should be censored to the same extent that hate based on immutable characteristics is?"

The answer to that question is also no. This is mostly due to the relative dangers. Hate speech can (and does!) lead to dehumanization and discrimination. Nipping that in the bud is worth it. But creating the outgroup needed for discrimination is much more difficult if it's based on a job or an item of clothing (unless that item of clothing is something you're required to wear that identifies you with a specific immutable characteristic, like a star or pink triangle).

> So hate speech is speech that expresses hate?

No, you keep changing the definition. I don't. Please stop. Your definition is useless because you keep changing it to one that you feel is useless. If you refuse to use the definitions that others use, and instead you only use one that you've defined with the intent to be nearly useless, then yes, you will find the term useless. The rest of us will continue to ignore your trolling.
there weren't enough scarves for everyone? Because random cotton face coverings is what the US govt wound up recommending. And the mask shortage was solved long, long ago, but lockdown wasn't lifted. And if there was a shortage it's because the government (and hospitals) failed basic disaster preparedness, but I don't hear any mea culpas coming from govt or other guilty parties.
You are correct.

Interestingly, it is this exact property (composition) that creates the most common problems when using an ORM.

Composition is often at odds with optimization.
Sure, but the type of food people consume at home typically differs greatly from the food they eat out.

Keep in mind that in this situation, the goal is to ensure that already-grown food isn’t wasted and is able to be processed, not necessarily meeting the perfect market demand that you’d see in normal economic conditions.

slightly off topic, but since streaming was mentioned: it feels to me like there ought to be a way to share a streamed video with friends at, let's say, 1080p quality without having to run it on windows. I have fully adequate bandwidth for the upload speed, but my VLC experiments have been less than fruitful.

the most irritating thing is that we are all fully willing to pay for the video content and happy to not self-host this. three separate subscribers to basically All of the online video streaming services, not having any kind of "watch party" availability except through sketchy looking browser extensions--I really wish this had been solved before the world went into quarantine.

Not necessarily for the same products - people cooking at home aren't deep-frying everything.

"What I cook for myself at home" and "what I order in restaurants" are two pretty disjoint sets.

I'm not even sure the total number of calories will come out 1:1; are people eating less because they're not commuting or working? Eating better because they are cooking? Eating worse because they are depressed? I can't even guess.
That same review has an overclocked i5-9600K vs a stock one and the performance difference is pretty large. An i5-9600K @ 5.0 is almost as significant of an improvement over a stock one as a stock i5-9600K is over the lowest performing CPU of the bunch.

China has already bought the second (Russia) and third world (not in terms of wealth, rather actual third world) with the cheap variants of original technologies. Intellectual property is meaningless in this arena, and so is reasoning. Moreover, America has stopped streaming the "American dream", stopped winning "friends and allies", and is flexing muscles on the rest of the world.

I thought this war of the giants will remain paused for the rest of the covid-19 situation, however, it seems unlikely before some major causality. And Huawei seems to be in the center of the stage.
