Maybe in country, but not in a local area. That's a big part of this. If the issue is getting people jobs because there's not enough jobs, how are you going to move people around the country to do all these things?
> they inevitably find more productive uses of their effort and creativity.

This is only true if they define what "productive" means. ...because they obviously aren't providing a product or service that anyone is willing to pay more for than their original employer - otherwise they could have made the switch without UBI.
IIRC, the discoverer of the RING protein domain couldn't come up with a name so they called it Really Interesting New Gene (RING) which duos as a pun for a ring finger.

Blogs exist, they just morphed. People with things to say moved to platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Twitch, or Medium.

This is because there's no point in self-hosting; using a platform is free and gives you some degree of discoverability.

Nobody wants to self-host on their own domain because it costs money and you need at least some rudimentary tech/sysadmin skills. Self-hosting doesn't solve the biggest problem of blogging - which is that nobody will read your work.

I wonder if attaching this to a modern-day Elisa will improve the Turing test scores? Emotional load can reduce the requirement for semantic coherence.

The peak (aka trough) was about six months after the start, so if you want to try this strategy it is important to have patience and not rush in too soon.
Two observations. One is assume your grand parents get it. For them the CFR is probably 10%. Which means 35% chance one or more of your grand parents will die.

The other is peoples social networks tend to skew towards their own age group. But not exclusively. So older people have networks with lots of other old people. Which reminds me I showed up in San Francisco in the mid 90's. I missed the HIV carnage of the 80's. But I have gay friends who are my friends because HIV killed most of their friends and they had to start over.
One problem with RDMA is that it's not compatible with existing protocols.
That was fundamentally different because it was caused by an increase in INPUT costs and pre-dates the current monetary system.

So it's not a useful comparison.

> The stock market demands that the product have all the same stickers on as everybody else. But nobody is obliged to believe them.

That is a very interesting take on the situation, especially because the tort of fraud starts from the opposite first principle: that customers may reasonably rely on the promises made by sellers.
Thanks, this is a clearer expression of the argument I wanted to make.
Which human right is being abused here? People download the driver apps and work for them of their own free choice.

As for pollution, if that's immoral, then so is going to the restaurant to eat itself as well as driving in general.
Ethanol-based sanitizers can be ingested by desperate people. I know what binge can do. These in need found a way to drink denatured alcohol [1], doing very little to clean it up.

So, please add a point to your discourse. In my opinion, FDA did more good than bad for population of US in that particular case.

Meaning, the screen is always split in two. On both sides, there's a directory shown. All commands (copy, move, etc.) now instantly have a target (namely, the other side).
It’s a hard problem because the lower down the pyramid you go the more content spam there is.

My understanding is that the traditional reading was that the mortgages would be extended for N months, so there is no balloon payment ever; just the loan lasting a bit longer than expected.
yes, google supports js, not sureabout the others.
You can also trivially truncate to 72 bytes server side.
If you don't mind sharing, why did you stop using your blog on GitHub?

I went from Drupal based blog to Hugo and then I stopped blogging. I used to write a post every six months or so. This was long enough to forget how to use Hugo, so I stopped. Lame excuse I know.
The argument recommends take out which also involves driving somewhere, and given that deliverers many times deliver to more than one household this is an argument for delivery over take out. Also it's not significant, even with a carbon tax to eliminate this externality that would be at most a dime or quarter of pollution.

And human rights abuse? I had a job delivering, and it was honestly one of my favorite jobs. The pay wasn't great but just cruising around listening to music all night was awesome.
It can also be confusing if you check the volumes after mixing, since the water-alcohol interaction decreases the molecular spacing and the total volume. V_(water + alcohol) < V_water + V_alcohol.

I would bring back RSS. The good parts of twitter (you can follow what lots of people have to say and aggregate it in a single feed) without the bad parts (character limits, "you stink" and other snarky comments, control of a centralised platform over who can say what, etc).
Not sure it would yield any useful results, but have been thinking about a no-index search engine for a while to help find obscure or otherwise hidden information. If one exists or you build one let me know.
Which of those apply here, exactly?
That’s a sweet deferral for people: at the end of their mortgage period, their mortgage payment is worth a lot less than it is today.

Ha, TIL!

I’m not too familiar with the Long March family but that does make sense.

More random engine nerdery:

- It’s really exciting to see all of the development going into full-flow combustion metholox engines these days; BE-4 and Raptor have been incredible projects to follow.

- The Rocketdyne F-1 is still the most impressive rocket engine to me, although the RS-25 is a very close second. Watching videos of the Apollo launches and seeing those things in action is absolutely awe-inspiring.
Not just folds. Also the lambda and the inner loop which is memcpy instead of range3. It’s about every part of the function, including but not limited to the folds.
I think you're slightly misrepresenting what the parent comment is saying. You both are right.

Food delivery can be profitable, and they could switch to being profitable if they wanted to. That's what the parent company is saying - they chose not to as they want to operate on the hypothesis that investing in growth as early as possible will put them on an expontential trend in a network effect -based business. Which is true.

However, what you say is right as well. If they switched to a completely profit skimming model, their competitor would keep them in check very fast.

However. what data that I've seen in ridehailing shows, is that if you invest in growth and achieve the 1 or 2 position in volume, you can grow and reap profits simultaneously - at least for some time. It's a massive juggling effort.

If you have only one thread running in the process, memory usage is static, any mapped pages are writable only by the one process and are not backed by external storage, you have turned off timer interrupts and rcu reaps, and do not perform system calls, where are these TLB shootdowns and timer interrupts coming from?

I keep hearing versions of this. Such dire finality. Do you actually believe that in 1 or 2 years time bars in Times Square won't be as busy as ever? If yes I think you are radically underestimating New Yorkers.

Blogs died when blog specific search engines disappeared, particularly 'Google Blog search' which was quietly killed off in 2014.
Technorati the other popular option for searching blogs, also went dark in 2014.
Xcode isn't just an editor. AppCode doesn't provide its own compiler and stdlib.
Why would you choose that over a simple static site generator that converts a markdown file into a static html file that works without JavaScript and doesn't cause any problems for search engines?

This one command does just that and you don't have to "prerender" your pages in an "additional build step" as suggested in the other comment.

Facebook makes your content virtually inaccessible and discoverable from those outside Facebook. They are the opposite of the way things were on the open web. Medium "is easy" but they are gradually asking more and more of people visiting too. Twitter is a good platform for streams of thought but it is a terrible "blogging" platform. Having "a series of tweets" does not make for a blog. It is hard to read and terrible.

But you are right. People feel they don't need to self host because these things are there. The problem is you then no longer own your content distribution and are at the whim of them walling it off or shutting down.
At the risk of stating the obvious, and sorry if so: doing input length validation client side is very useful for the user's experience, but the server should always validate this too. "... now suddenly I have to revisit everything and add JavaScript magic to check form validity ..." sounds suspiciously like you were relying on client side form validation without server validation, I hope that's not the case. :)
Highlights from the bug report[1][2]:

- HTML spec allows it; says MAY, not MUST [3]
- Affects only user pastes, not javascript edits
- Affects all input boxes, not just password ones
- New preference editor.truncate_user_pastes can restore old behavior

As a developer, I personally find the inconsistent behavior of maxLength unintuitive and am surprised a potentially-breaking change like this didn't have more discussion (although, the original bug report was open for 4 years). But as a user, I have some empathy for the team's desire to fix "broken" websites (e.g. where the login page has a shorter limit than the account creation page or backend).

Yeah, I had in mind a categorization like "engineer, distinguished engineer, fellow". Basically implications that one can reach vc level impact and compensation on the technical track and that's baked in into the organization. But definetly not a complex level-up game.
Twitter - ephemeral, too condensed or else a huge thread

It's a game of chicken. Everyone is waiting for other people to sell which will make prices fall so they can buy the dip.
What would happen if the King County health department ignored the FDA? Would the FDA have to sue? Could local official face federal charges?

The same goes for sub titles, she'd be perfectly fine with a robot voice for the actors if they sounded real enough like this.

Yes. What you said.
This is brilliant. Penguins are such great vicarious avatars for people in any case. Here, in the context of art in a museum, it works even better. You can hardly help but try to image what they make of the paintings, and in the process take a fresh look at them yourself.

Also, I'm far from an expert on Penguin body language, but they do seem happy to be there.
However that delivery is in part subsidies by this.
I'd say the Saturday after the paycheck closest to the 15th. People on bi-weekly pay schedules have funds again and it's counter cyclical to the 'Who's Hiring' threads.

The list of bi-weekly paychecks for 2020 is here: https://www.nfc.usda.gov/Publications/Forms/1217n_20.pdf

Meaning that June's thread should be on the 20th. July on the 18th. August on the 15th. September on the 12th. October on the 10th.
Yes, absolutely, 100%. It's engine and language agnostic; many of the examples are written in C++ in lieu of pseudocode, but he also goes into where C# differs in behavior enough to affect the pattern.
Well by bad I meant flavorless, generic, forgettable, so maybe mediocre would be the better term :)
Or you know, anyone who has used them in their day job writing C++. Just like literally every language feature.

Scientists are drowning in Covid-19 papers. Can new tools keep them afloat?
That's only true if all the plants run all their lines 24x7.

If you have some plants that are not at capacity, you can hire additional shifts to produce more, run on weekends, etc. Then you have additional labor costs, overtime, materials costs, etc. to recoup.

The manufacturing plant I once worked for had spare capacity for the better part of a decade, so it's not some completely unusual thing and was in fact part of our corporate strategy at the time to gain market share.
Lennart had other stated goals besides what you laid out there. Below is from the systemd-devel mailing list in 2010. [1]

"Well, it is definitely our intention to gently push the distributions in
the same direction so that they stop supporting deviating solutions for
these things where there's really no point at all in doing so.

"Due to that our plan is to enable all this by default in "make
install". Packagers may then choose to disable it by doing an "rm" after
the "make install", but we want to put the burden on the packagers, so
that eventually we end up with the same base system on all
distributions, and we put an end to senseless configuration differences
between the distros for the really basic stuff.

"If a distro decides that for example the random seed save/restore is not
good enough for it, then it's their own job to disable ours and plug in
their own instead. Sooner or later they'll hopefully notice that it's
not worth it and cross-distro unification is worth more."

Seems like the problem isn't the lack of blogs, but ways to find new ones.

Kinda weird reading a blog post about no blog posts, like it being read disproves its point a little bit.

Nothing but dividends for a decade or so unless you did some clever selling high and buying low.

>I don't see why the fact that Bill Gates "backs" it has anything to do with the program

I doubt the FDA's decision had anything to do with the Gates connection, but most study rejections don't get articles in the NYT. His backing is why it's "news," he spend/gives millions to the press to ensure it.
Of that list, I understand why MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, and NVDA would be up. The rest aren’t so clear to me.

NFLX - streaming is up but consumers exhaust the content library faster and competitors (Disney) will now want to gain market share at any cost

FB, SNAP - exposure to ad dollars (brand, travel, hospitality, entertainment) that won’t be coming back for awhile

UBER - unit economics of food delivery aren’t attractive + hyper competitive market, demand for core rideshare business likely depressed for a long time given it’s dependency on events and business travel

SQ, MTCH - no opinion, neutral sentiment

TSLA - with gas so cheap, electric vehicles are less attractive

I buy the tech multiple expansion thesis but that would apply to every company on this list.

This is one reason commercial hand sanitizers are [usually] made predominantly of ethyl alcohol, with a small amount of water and IPA added in. Ethyl alcohol does not dry out your skin nearly as much.
I stopped blogging because I don't think the world needs - or wants - my hot takes. I re-posted some things[0] that I refer to in the outside world; right now I'm digging into Honda Telematics[1]. That might end up on the blog, or I might leave it as a gist.

Kind of strange that the name of the virus contains the symptoms of the disease (SARS = severe accute respiratory syndrome) while the disease doesn't.
Right but this creates a new issue, those platforms can moderate what you can say, and not every controversial statement is wrong or bad, but to avoid liability these platforms moderate it away. Then the other related issue is on the chance that what wasn't previously controversial becomes controversial they can go back and scrub older posts. Hosting your own blog protects you from this.

They have offered a lot of benefits but they also have the ability to censor.

Between this and Lyrebird there seem to be a high number of cutting edge TTS solutions being worked on in the private sector. Does anyone know why there haven't been much advancement with the FOSS libraries?
Blogs are too monetised today. For example, if you need some solution for Django (+ORM) - as of today it’s much easier to end up on some mediocre blog website than on official docs.

All authors tend to do so to re-create the same content in a different form and publish it. I assume taking most popular answer from Stack Overflow and writing a blog post about could be one of their strategies.

Basically blogging today is all race to infinite splits of the initial pie.

I have to admit I often true to keep blogs published on Hacker News because they usually do contain some unique content. However that is no longer the majority. An average blog today is equivalent to an average Facebook profile - it has nothing interesting per se.
Has anybody tried Opera on Android? It comes with free VPN and the tab UI is awesome. I still feel Firefox preview won't match it fully.

Why is betting on that now insane? Are you saying that you don't think the market will reach, and exceed, the present level in 10 to 20 years? I don't think it's insane...

But they may be able to hire additional shifts or work overtime on existing production lines.

Not every plant is run at a constant 24x7 three shift schedule. There are plenty of businesses that keep some slack in their manufacturing to respond to changes in demand as part of their corporate strategy, especially if they think there's an opportunity to gain market share.
”Source? Your link only has CFR (and >10%)”

The link I provided has IFR, and is where I got the NYC numbers I quoted. They’re in the bar graph, expressed as rates per 100k.

The best reference I know of for a global, age-adjusted IFR as of early April is here (their estimate is 0.66%):

https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/laninf/PIIS1473-3099...

However, more recent papers have come out, suggesting much lower values. For example, this paper estimates a a value of 0.08% for patients under 70, using antibody data in blood donors in Denmark:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.24.20075291v...

My stated estimate is conservative. If anything we are continually reducing the number as we gather more data on prevalence. Regardless, a range of 0.5-1% is a safe bound for the highest quality estimates of IFR. The values cited by the OP (>>1.5%) are far too high, and based on severity-biased samples were gathered early in the pandemic.
I certainly agree that elementary schools (a) should reopen on site, and (b) should reopen with measures to slow the spread of coronavirus. I've already seen discussion of (b) in the press, and that gives me some optimism. I hope a month from now, we're arguing e.g. about whether kids should be held entirely in a single class (to minimize the total number of kids that one infected could expose) vs. allowed to take electives. That seems a lot more productive to me than just pro/anti "lockdown".

And while I'm here, I think the proposals to move university education entirely or mostly remote are insane. College students are themselves at very low risk from this, and they live mostly with college students. We should take measures to protect those at risk (help students living with their parents to instead live with classmates, let older professors lecture remotely while TAs run the class, etc.), but the cost of moving that online-only again seems huge to me.

I hate that Facebook groups hide a lot of info this way. Back then google found blog posts and forum posts about a particular subject. Now if they are in a closed facebook group (is this the default?) then google won't see it.

I don't know if google indexes public facebook groups.
