The problem with these analog formats is inherent generation loss, and the inability to make use of error correction codes.

While yes, that is true, there is an argument about formats as wide-spread as CD-R, DVD-R, and BD-R/BD-R-DL. Readers for these are made by many companies, and information on how to make them is wide spread. They're also just sufficiently-precise mechanics with rather trivial optics.

Does your CD drive also read DVDs? I'd guess so.

Archive team is (thankfully) doing a good job. Go support them, and the Internet Archive!

I do not hold that belief you worry about. I'd like to collaborate on that front, not actually targeting immediate accessibility like the internet archive, but rather comparably to what that mine does. Well, maybe with less focus on active, short-term retrieval, and more on just waiting until it's feasible to keep it on active HDDs.
Wait, what kind of logic is that?

Why does an extension need to be open source for a program to be called open source?

If someone writes a closed source plugin for LibreOffice or GIMP, does that mean they aren't open source?

> we in the US have probably a handful of people who understand

When I moved to the US from Canada and HR was helping me setup my health insurance on the first day, I was overwhelmed trying to understand it and said "Sorry, I don't really understand how health insurance works here."

The HR person responded:

"That's ok. Most Americans don't understand how it works either."
It's unclear that the county was planning to follow this "original" timeline until after public pressure brought about by Elon's tweets. At this point it's impossible to tell if that are simply saving face.

What does x^x look like?
Sure, it's the same process ... but it's now putting a lot more weight something that's more nebulous - just the value of the land. Now, whether the final price of a property is the land or the improvements isn't important and so as long as an appraiser matches the market, they can be considered more or less right, whatever weight.

The situation is almost tautological. I mean, suppose Amazon builds a giant shipping depot in the middle of nowhere. The land was worth nothing before. Without the depot, it would be worth nothing now. Then town arises around giant depot. Town tries to raise taxes on Amazon says "still worth nothing if we leave". Who's right?
If you're dealing with multiple processes persisting data to different data stores, you're dealing with a distributed database problem, which has many more failure modes than the ones you've described here.

If there's anything I've learned across my career, it's to avoid distributed databases unless absolutely necessary, and if it is necessary, then spend a bunch of time trying to make sure you got it right. And then even after that you probably got it wrong.
I read once that there are negative absolute temperatures defined such that all negative numbers are (in a way) greater than all positive ones.[1] That is, the temperatures below absolute zero are actually hotter than +infinity.

It seems reasonable to look at negative p/e numbers in a bit of a similar way, as being beyond infinity on a scale.

I think the other major, major thing people discount is the emergence of viable sandboxed installs/uninstalls, and the accompanying software distribution via app stores.

Windows 95 never had a proper, operating-system supported package manager, and I think that's a big part of why web applications took off in the late 90s/early 2000s. There simply wasn't any guarantee that once you installed a native app, you could ever fully remove it. Not to mention all the baggage with DLL hell, and the propensity of software to write random junk all over the filesytem.

Mobile has forced a big reset of this, largely driven by the need to run on a battery. You can't get away with as much inefficiency when the device isn't plugged into the wall.
Perhaps individual landlords can't raise rents but the burden will still be passed to the tenants in the end. If you cut the profits of landlords enough to be statistically significant then it will cease to be profitable to be a landlord. (Former) landlords will then invest their money elsewhere, leaving people to buy their own property instead of renting, which incidentally means that they're paying the LVT themselves as well. The end user of the property always pays, no matter what clever scheme you cook up to squeeze money out of the underappreciated middleman.

Being a landlord is not some easy path to free money. It is a great deal of trouble and expense for (usually) marginal profit, and yet somehow people manage to be uniquely ungrateful for the services being performed on their behalf even as they freely choose to rent rather than own.
No. In NYC, in the teen and pre-teen set, we have thousands of confirmed/symptomatic infections, hundreds of hospitalizations, dozens of deaths, and dozens of strange case histories. That's what's reported. I speculate based on anecdotal conversations with other parents there is much still unknown/unreported.

We don't have a model for how to understand exposure and immunity dynamics for this population. My personal sense/estimate is that between 10% and 20% of the child population has been sufficiently "exposed" to now be considered "safe" but I would not bet my children's lives on that measure. I am eagerly awaiting the day I can get my kids tested for antibodies, but even if they test positive I can't consider them or us to be "safe" until we know a whole lot more.

At any rate, given just the reported numbers, a conservative back of the envelope risk-of-significant-impact from "exposure" in the teen/pre-teen set is somewhere between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000.

Agree here. I don't think many sites have either. You have to dig a little, open the code-behind, but they're there.
> This is comically misguided.

Are you trying to say I'm some sort of clown who unintentionally make people laugh when I speak my beliefs? Can you at least acknowledge that we may both be intelligent people who disagree? This sort of statement really shows your inability to consider opposing viewpoints in an objective way, IMO.

> Do you really think people will be satisfied making barely enough money to survive? Just enough to live at the poverty line?

> Of course not. We live in a capitalistic society where people want to get ahead and make a better life for themselves. Raising the economic floor from $0 to $12k/yr (~poverty line) is juuust enough for people falling through the cracks to get back on their feet and become productive members of society again.

> Will some tiny fraction of people be satisfied living in a shithole apartment, eating garbage and trolling on the internet all day? Sure. I'm willing to accept that negligible cost in exchange for the massive social benefits.

This is a straw man, since we've already seen that realistically, this is not how UBI would be implemented. The proposed "Heroes" act already had a (now removed) clause to give people $2000 per month, on top of all the other benefits they are already receiving, which goes to show that politicians who favor this aren't thinking in terms of the bare minimum to meet the poverty line, nor seem to care about how much it costs.

> I think you do have a valid point regarding people voting for more money over time. I don't see this as big of a problem as you do but I acknowledge it's something that needs to be considered.

What do think happens if you're wrong and doing this would cause a feedback loop of more and more benefits, spending, and money printing? You're going all in with the country at stake, with a vague hand wavy dismissal of the consequences.

I joined CS when I was broke, and such a site must stay free for newcomers.

Music can be obtained for free (whether recorded onto a cassette tape off MTV or downloaded). Despite that, I go out of my way to support my favourite bands. Sometimes quite literally flying to other countries to go to concerts. Now I have the money, I want to support those who showed kindness in the past by paying it forward.

BeWelcome's financial transparency is excellent, and I would happily buy a t-shirt from them, and I'm discussing with organisers of CS weekly meetups whether they'd be willing to rebrand to BW. If CS wants to save their platform, they can and should, but must act quickly.
How to Deal with [Academic] Rejections
Who would hate on YCombinator?
This is an assertion without evidence. Numerous states have intentionally made unemployment benefits more tedious to claim. Florida is particularly famous for this at the moment with hundreds of news articles about it. All their changes to the system came with essentially zero controversy or political risk. (No doubt there were a handful of ineffective local organizations that complained at the time but no one's reelection was remotely threatened.)
I still think it's pretty fantastic and I have had great experiences with it in the last 3 years. The design sucks but things like hangouts and meetups are worthwhile even for travelers who do not feel comfortable staying in someone's house.
I'm glad he didn't try. As a 15yo my teen friend and I spent half a summer grinding a 6" mirror.

Then we were told to Foucault-test the mirror. We couldn't understand the included instructions. We lived in the middle of nowhere, noone to ask, internet didn't exist, library had bupkis. If we had figured it out, we'd still have had to mail it somewhere to be aluminized. End of story.

Few people make their own ICs anymore either.
Nice, the MSI instructions aren't even right if your assembling a PC that doesn't have a motherboard/existing graphics card. /sigh

Yah, I don't get it for many things. Windows, should come with a basic users manual on paper. It should include the global keyboard shortcuts in the back too, but it doesn't. I'm not sure anyone at MS could even write them all down at this point.

Besides that, what kills me are all the completely insane things like the xbox (which has a terrible UI) games that come on bluray, but then require internet access before you can start playing so that they can discover they need to download a 10G patch. Its like they said "hey we are going to release this game to retail channels, but we know it doesn't work so the first thing its going to do is call home to download itself" or something equally stupid.
I am sorry but Windows Terminal is the suckiest Windows app ever and gives me a headache on a daily basis. Try opening multiple instances of this app in overlapping windows, like most developers do. Then fill them with text. Now see if you can tell where one window ends and the next window starts. Because of nearly invisible borders all the windows sort of blend into each other. Worst usability issue ever. This terminal appears to be designed for people who open only one command prompt at a time. Please bring back the old terminal.
Adjusted for location as well. I'm very skeptical that these Nigerians can find anything this lucrative within their own country.

This comes from the military budget; they can light Cuban cigars with hundred dollar bills as a rounding error. The US Navy has 11 large fleet aircraft carriers, 9 assault carriers, when the rest of the World considers two carriers to be a lot. Schools hold bake sales to buy supplies, the Pentagon/The Congress spends a Trillion USD on a new manned fighter we don't need just to shovel pork into as many Congressional districts as possible.

In a similar vein as our Carriers, we have 123 military satellites. Since the X-37 is maneuverable and reusable, it might be cheaper in the long run than more satellites.
Tests should have been stretched in time and spread across classrooms to have smaller groups of people to practice social distancing, not be administered online; it is a cheatfest.
Yes, speeds are measured relative to the uncompressed data. ZSTD outputs around 600-2000MiB/s/core (in all the higher levels), depending on how fast your processor is.
Lazy munmap() is definitely possible, there just needs to be more kernel to userspace bookkeeping. The weirdness you reference would only be visible in a use after free scenario, which is a bug, and therefore the behavior is undefined anyway.

But, reallocation is simplified with a synchronous munmap()—the memory allocator knows (through shared memory communication channels) that the virtual pages can be safely reallocated once the call returns; with a lazy approach some other mechanism needs to inform the allocator when all cores have been flushed (and thus it’s safe to make a new mapping), or else do a shootdown in mmap(). I think Solaris might have done something similar.

It’s safe to take a TLB miss on a remapping, but it’s not safe to reallocate memory and then inadvertently use an old, cached mapping. The synchronous design assumes that allocations are in the critical path and should be fast, but deallocations are not and can be slow. I think the original logic also assumed that virtual address space was scarce. These days I think a lazy unmap is probably worth it as a way of encouraging more efficient reuse of physical memory. Virtual address space is now plentiful. Note that, for security, a physical page might still result in a synchronous shoot down if it’s needed by another process quickly enough.
All Bay Area counties other than Santa Clara have interpreted the Bay Area criteria as criteria to fully reopen, so they're admittedly not at the 200 per 100,000 number. But I don't see any reason to second-guess their decision that a partial reopening is safe with fewer tests.

Unfortunately, Alameda County doesn't publish daily test counts or anything, so the best citation I have for you is a random news article[1] asserting they're 1/3 of the way to 3100 tests per day.

This is a false narrative.

The original timeline was always to reopen certain businesses May 18th, since the first extensions of the lockdowns were to expire on May 15th, and as demonstrated by the entire rest of the state opening up according to that schedule without anyone else throwing a tantrum.

Also, the county doesn't need to do anything to save face. They have nothing to prove. The elected officials can always say they were acting on the information of health experts, and the health experts can always point to the CDC, China, and even the re-emerging outbreaks in Wuhan, Italy, and Germany as reasons for not allowing Tesla to restart operations ahead of schedule and before Tesla had demonstrated they were willing to protect their workers.

You're seriously suggesting that the common use of Qt on Linux systems is direct rendering without the windowing system?
Tesla is either providing a safe working environment, or it is not. If it is then there is no need at all to justify requesting that people return to work. If the environment is not safe, or if it is unsafe for particular people, according to their own personal circumstances, then those people are not being forced to make that choice. They can continue to collect unemployment payments until such a time that the work environment becomes safe. If you dispute the purported safety of the Tesla work environment, then you have an issue with the state of California, not with Tesla.
Why wouldn't people have their language set correctly? Usually your browser language defaults to your system language, and presumably when you bought your computer, you selected your preferred language during the initial setup. If you had your browser set incorrectly, you would probably have dealt with that problem immediately when you saw all the menus and such in an unfamiliar language.

Perhaps some multilingual users might have one of their secondary language(s) set instead of their primary/preferred one, but at least it'll be a language they speak.

More importantly, even if the user has their browser screwed up, it's something that can be easily fixed on their end. But on sites that set language based on location, there isn't such an easy fix available; short of relocating or using a VPN, people in OP's situation are kinda screwed.
Couch surfing is not dead. In the adventure motorcycling community, there are this concept "tent spaces". It is like crowd surfing but instead of a couch, you get access to a toilet and space to pitch a tent.

It's like doctors suggest their patients to use some drugs without mentioning any side effects.

It reminds me of the video[0] which asks the developer to draw red lines with blue ink, while the project manager keeps pushing the developer like "You're the expert, of course you can do draw red lines with blue ink!".

The mind-body problem is an interesting philosophical debate. It would be funny if our ancestors had been on to something the whole time with the various forms of panpsychism that have occurred throughout history. We tend to overestimate our own ingenuity and heavily discount the intelligence and natural intuition of the past. Not saying this is a credible theory, just an interesting reoccurring idea throughout human history.

I don't think this sort of thing is rare, or a reflection of the time period he lived in or his status as an extreme outlier in historical influence.

Many scientists spend a portion of their time in oddball or fruitless pursuits and sometimes it takes them over, particularly as they get older.

Another thing worth mentioning is you incentivize efficiency and proper use of physical resources by doing that.

And you don't de-incentivize productive labor (as our current tax scheme does to an extent).

If all tax were things like use of land, use of aluminum in a can, burning of a unit of fossil fuel instead of "you worked an extra hour or invented something, now you owe a greater percent!" I believe society would become much more innovate and efficient.
I'll use the food stamps argument: All I see is millions and regardless of how insignificant that number is with regard to how many the program has helped, I'm going to argue the whole program should be shut down because my party says so and uphill bootstraps.

Multiple reports indicate that Tesla workers were told to report to work last week or be fired, and that if they were fired for not showing up, Tesla would not let them claim COVID19 as a reason for their termination (which is a $600/week difference in unemployment benefits for the next 6 weeks).

There was no outrage about other factories because most US factories use more automation than Tesla and workers are generally spaced more than 6 feet apart at "stations" on the assembly line. (See, e.g., the General Mills factories where cereal is made, any other US automaker, etc.)
