That's not the same thing. They had detailed server utilisation data when I was there years ago, and they had models that tried to translate that into some sort of dollar cost, but that didn't mean they really knew.

You probably can't know. The ground truth would be if YouTube were spun out and had to rent its infrastructure from Google directly via Google Cloud. But GCloud doesn't actually sell the infrastructure they use, as far as I know - for instance the search engine, the ads engine, the anti-abuse engines, Borg, the edge networks. AFAIK most of the stuff that YouTube relies so heavily on isn't actually available to buy at any price.

Pricing is hard work, too. What price should Google charge to license out their search engine tech for competing video sites? There's no existing market for that kind of tech that could provide an obvious price point.

For an integrated operation like Google/YouTube you can't ever truly say if it's profitable or not. The division of costs and benefits will always be rather arbitrary.
I don't understand your point at all. In what way is a browser going to give me information that is not available to me unless I'm online? PDF's of sites I've visited have all the data I need - the stuff I read that then prompted me to print to PDF. I've searched and I'm yet to find a single PDF in my collection that doesn't have the info that prompted me to save it in the first place. I understand you believe your point is strong - its still not being made in a way that I can relate.
Uber and WeWork is a capital driven business, not technology driven. The barrier of entry is very low. Anytime if there is a competitor come to the market, they have to compete with price. I'd like to see they transform into a data platform. Rather than providing the service through their apps, why don't they provide APIs for small cab companies.
Syntax is kind of overrated, but familiarity can matter if you have a specific target audience. You will usually get some who are resistant to learning if the syntax is significantly different from what they're familiar with - but it is unlikely these are going to use a niche language anyway. PLT enthusiasts are generally more open minded about syntax choices, so you can choose what you think is appropriate.

Consider many of the top programming general purpose languages share some or most of their syntax (C, Java, etc), with Python being a bit of an outlier. This would suggest that familiar syntax matters for adoption.

Syntax choice is always going to be subjective and there is no "ideal". People often say Python is easier to read, but I don't buy it. It's easier to read for people who've had experience using Python, that's all (which happens to be a large number of people because it is a common choice of first language in academic courses). Just as I find S-expressions easy to read but non-lispers/non-schemers are often put off by the placement of parens.

In terms of implementing the parser, some syntax is simpler than others to parse. S-expressions are very trivial. C and C++ in particular have some ambiguities in parts of their syntax which need to be resolved through semantic analysis, but they cause trouble for writing tools for the language. Those problems can be avoided with careful design, however, there have been some attempts to re-syntax C++, such as SPECS[1], which never caught on. Existing tooling, code and integration with other parts of a system are more important than language syntax.

I was prepared to leave Washington after the cases started piling on and the national guard started assembling a field hospital a couple miles away from me. Then somehow -- I'm still not sure if it was Stay Home Stay Safe or what -- the ERs stopped being flooded, the hospital was packed up without being needed, and most of the people outside started wearing homemade masks and distancing.

I'm not home free but I can trust most of the people outside to wear masks and socially distance, and I know the ERs will be available if I get sick (I have a rare disease and my body is weak.)

We need to hold leaders accountable, and we need to make good decisions. They are actively undermining that ability by censoring data and trying to cover their asses.

The rest of your comment trots out a truckload of red herrings about information we might not want to look at right now, or some disgruntled or misguided person not following proper channels and rushing to get out crap information about drugs or something. These things could not be less related to what we are talking about here. FFS they fired the person whose official job it was to make information available to the public and she reports it was because they wanted to censor it. I mean, does that not strike you as something she should absolutely blow the whistle on?

That felt true originally. But the degree to which the GOP has capitulated to him, made excuses for his misstatements, and insulated him from the consequences of his behavior - it's hard to spot much distinction between the party and Trumpism at this point.

I hope some kind of sane, non-demagogic, fact-interested conservative party emerges from the ashes of this thing someday though. We do still need political counterbalances in this country, at the end of the day.

FWIW, it's worth remembering that weapons like tasers are 'less-lethal', not 'non-lethal'. Tasers, rubber bullets etc can all kill people, so it's still dangerous to hand one to a cop that has an itchy trigger finger. The number of deaths cops have caused using less-lethal weapons is certainly not enormous but it's more than zero.

Ultimately it's going to be necessary to just chase down and eliminate the root causes of excessive use of force. Even if you completely disarm the police, they can and will kill people through other means, like giving them a "rough ride" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_ride_(police_brutality)] in a police cruiser or choking them [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner].

See this very case! Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired at police officers breaking into his girlfriend's house; he was arrested and charged with attempted murder, and is currently under house arrest. The police union, of course, is screaming bloody murder that this "threat to the men and women of law enforcement" is even in house arrest, rather than in a facility.

Yes, if a cop invades your home without following proper procedure (i.e., by announcing "this is the police" or by wearing police uniform), in a state with castle doctrine you can shoot trespassers without attempting to flee.

Both the castle doctrine and stand-your-ground doctrines let people shoot attackers without attempting to flee. One of the big differences is that castle doctrine only applies in your home (but is a very strong defense that is generally acceptable in almost every state), while stand-your-grand would apply outside your home, but is more limited--not every state allows for a stand-your-ground defense. For example, California allows for the castle doctrine but not stand-your-ground, so you would have to reasonably attempt to flee before engaging in deadly force.

Google left China. Uber sold their share of market to Didi. US has blocked many deals when Chinese companies are involved. There is never free global trade, it is just exploitation at different scales. Global trade happens because some countries need dollars to buy weapon, oil and technology. You buy $1.99 USB cable from China, and the profit from 100 million cables will be used to buy intel chips and Boeing airplanes. It is the same that the profit of 100 kilos of coffee beans from Africa countries will be used to buy weapons from US. We don't need global trade if there is no weapon in the world.

You mean if you rewrite bar so it didn't use a channel?

That's syntactically different though, isn't it? Would the Go runtime lock you to that specific thread and block it or sleep that goroutine and move it to another thread when its no longer sleeping? Maybe in Go there's no difference in those concepts but in many languages certain threads are special. UI threads are often used for event serializiation but beyond that you might have a GL context on a specific thread.

How does Go manage that?
How do you protect yourself from the runtime splitting your single thread work at a point you didn't intend? You probably have to make sure you only have a main goroutine that runs in a threaded way (as they do) and pass messages to it.

I can't really find an idiomatic Go UI example so I don't know what the answer is.

I was thinking of posting the same thing, but worried about the inevitable ensuing what-about-ism arguments. But, yes, this is a yet another step away from the transparency that underpins democracy and leads to 'reality is as the nation state allows it'.

It only furthers the populace's depth of under- and mis-education about anything that may be of relevance to the state of the country / world. It will only serve to pour fuel on conspiracy theories and fake news that are already burning out of control.

Transparency is a requirement of democracy. Australia has been increasingly legislating against whistleblowers and real (no-real-Scotsman arguments aside) journalism for a few years now. The world was already heading this way, and it only seems to be gaining momentum, and this time the "free, democratic West" are right there along for the ride instead of conscripting their populace against the threat.

We will beat China at their own game! (and in doing so lose ourselves entirely).

There's already alternatives, and they've been there for a while.

It really isn't surprising at all actually. There are a huge number of HN commenters who enthusiastically support Trump and his lies because they're right-wing, Ayn Rand-reading libertarians who think they are "winning."

The "Get and keep America open" plan is really a "keep dying" plan, but this is something few want to admit. Someone else pointed out how deceptive the "flattening the curve" charts were. Most showed a symmetrical rise and fall. In reality, that plan just keeps the hospitalization rate and death rate down to what the medical system can handle. Both stay high for many months until either saturation ("herd immunity") is approached, or there's a vaccine. The "flat" part is probably a year long, somewhere around the current death rate, which is in the 1000-2000 deaths per day range. (That may be underestimated. See this Financial Times article, which is looking at "excess mortality", or the change in deaths from all causes.)[1]

"Herd immunity" is a long way off.[2] That only happens when 70% or so of the population has had this virus. While there's not much data yet about how many people have cleared the virus and acquired antibodies, most figures are around 5% of the population, except a few cities, primarily New York, where it may be somewhere above 20%. So the dying is maybe 6-10% done, nationally.

The CDC is now avoiding death forecasts beyond mid-June.[3] Previous longer-term projections have been so far off as to be useless.[4]

Don't bunch up, and wear a real mask that protects you, not others.

Mr. Walker should get off...eventually.

Unfortunately, while it appears the law is on his side based on the facts currently known (Kentucky is a castle doctrine and SYG state), these doctrines are affirmative defenses that must be argued in court. Under most state criminal procedure codes, Mr. Walker can be held until trial (unless freed on bail, or placed under house arrest).

Note that placing someone under house arrest in a conservative state like Kentucky is the judge's way of saying that he expects the defendant to prevail in court and thus won't subject them to the indignities of the prison system, but can't simply release them without bail or restriction due to the nature of the charges.
