You are exactly right. In fact, I know of a few businesses that actually had MORE business (wholesalers), and the CEO of one told my friend that he was just going to use the money to buy his wife a new Porsche. This is anecdotal for sure, but there is no reason why firms wouldn't rely on free money as long as they are amoral enough.

If I had implemented the plan, I would have just created a program where the program only covered a % of the wages (say 80% instead of 100%) and mostly only for people who were not able to work. Of course, that brings other problems, but there is a middle ground somewhere in there.
I grew up playing Dune II on PC and finally played the Sega version a few years ago. I found it surprisingly playable - one of the controller buttons makes the cursor zip around at warp speed, and this works better than you'd expect. I'd only tried the game out of curiosity, but ended up finishing a full campaign.
>This occurred in Italy, New York City, etc., and is now being seen in some cities in Texas and Florida.

Not Florida. An article from yesterday (https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/06/18/florida-has-l...) ominously claims that "less than 25%" of ICU beds are available in the state, but actually read it and see that 90% occupancy rates are normal, and only a few of those in the ICU are COVID19 cases.

Texas? Let's look at Houston, where for a month it's been "we'll be running out of ICU beds in two weeks" every week.

Italian and New York hospitals were overwhelmed because a) both places put sick elderly into old age homes. b) Like elsewhere early on, doctors put everyone serious onto ventilators in a mistaken belief that they should treat patients like they do ARDS cases based on blood oxygen levels. This damaged healthy lung sacs and caused long-term dependence on mechanical respiration that doctors found almost impossible to wean patients from, and other side effects like deep vein thrombosis; Nick Cordero is a recent example. This article from three months ago (https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/08/doctors-say-ventilators-...) was completely vindicated in retrospect.

(And even NYC being overwhelmed was thankfully temporary. That's why the military hospital ship sent there was not used.)

The mean time between symptoms and death is 14 days (https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/08/doctors-say-ventilators-...). 99% of cases where people with COVID19 stay in the hospital for months is because of b), and neither a) nor b) is happening now.
That feeling is a non-negligible part of why I posted this.

I'm glad to know it's not just me.
I dunno how interested we as a community are in art styles but I have to say that it's clear much more time went into drawing these. They are much more detailed visually.
The main reason vim users aren't writing elisp is mostly because they don't want emacs.

Sure, they might really like the underlying functionality emacs has, but even evil-mode can't completely hide emac's UI.

I wish there was an emacs with a totally user-defined UI, so some people could configure their UI to feel like Vim, others like emacs, and others as something completely different.

Sure, you can replace the default keymaps, but that only gets you so far. If you go down this road (I have), it quickly becomes a futile effort to remove the emacsness from your UI.

I was referring to New Zealand. I don't think comparing SK to USA is nonsense but I do think comparing Sweden to China or New Zealand to USA is complete nonsense. If anyone feels compelled to do so they need to realize they are cherry-picking and compare NZ to Utah instead.

Hey everyone

As part of my 2020 growth plan of pushing more actionable value out, I'm finally kicking off a newsletter

Weekly breakdowns on how you can build an audience, grow a start-up, product ideas.

It'll be a blend of learnings, what is curated through hours & hours of research as well as interviews with very experienced people

If you'd like to get weekly updates on ideas behind smashing your product goals check out my latest post :)

A brief of what you will see in the future is detailed above :)
Although tangential to the point of the article, interestingly enough, this product does exist to some extent. A really talented developer that I used to work with has created a pretty neat Figma plugin to generate production ready ad banners on the fly (https://www.figmaticapp.com/bannerify). I have no financial benefit to sharing this - just a fan of his work.
From the article: "The council also passed a high-level spending plan Monday. The money from the new tax will be allocated to coronavirus economic relief this year and preserving city services next year, the plan says. Starting in 2022, the revenue will fund affordable housing, community-led development, local business assistance and Green New Deal investments."

About 800 businesses will be affected. The tax rates are far from exorbitant. The businesses can certainly afford to pay them, and the need is self-evident.

Seattle has certainly done poorly for homeless people. Under the old guard it has spent a lot to have police push them around the city, and done very little else. Nothing visible except tent cities. Anything beats nothing.

A lot of these rules exist for the purpose of having a consistent rule. With modern tooling, there is virtually no difference between tabs and spaces. What is important is to have some rule to avoid the constant bikeshedding that would occur if there wasn't one.
Is there a known opposite? A drug/chemical that teaches us "don't do that"? I assume there is something more than just the pain and memories we get from touching a hot pan, but I've never heard it given a name.
Maybe off topic ... Is Stanford ML expert some type of accreditation? How do you become a Stanford ML expert? :) Attending the (excellent) Stanford ML online course on Machine Learning or do I have to read an ML book on Stanford Campus?

Maybe that's just a fad that will blow over. Nobody took that idea seriously until a few years ago. On Google Trends, peak "transgender" was in 2018. Transgenders are around 0.6% of the US population. Niche issue.
I was there around the same time and I took a discrete math course he taught.

I wasn't a math major and had no idea who he was, but I remember some students mentioning that he was a well-regarded mathematician. He was a good teacher as well.

@WHO has admitted it did not even REPLY to Taiwan officials raising concerns in late DECEMBER over possible human to human transmission in the Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan. For fear of hurting WHO relationship with China. Answers needed.

Indeed. Honestly, I'd be happy with him giving official sanction to Hobbes and Bacon and that getting continued.
No longer putting everyone with a <95% blood oxygen level on ventilator.

It's heartbreaking to read this article from three months ago (https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/08/doctors-say-ventilators-...) and realize that everything those warning against overuse of ventilators turned out to be correct.

> In other words, comparing countries by their Covid deaths/capita rates is meaningless. The statistics are likely completely wrong because different countries use different definitions of "Covid deaths" and different reporting procedures.

Sounds a lot like comparing sprint velocities between engineering groups.
but does this only work when the number of people in the tribe is low, and everyone has some social accountability to each other?

The subtitles are also "The new Mac core", "Four on the floor", and "Dual-roar", which rhyme.

Indeed, OCaml multicore preserves the sequential low-latency setting, and this is important. Generalising this style is indeed a challenge, and I believe that there is something to learn from those expert cases.

I do not find realistic the suggestion that low-latency code could simply avoid safe points. To get a low latency, one in general avoids promoting values, but one still allocates on the minor heap. One can achieve much less without allocating at all, and moreover OCaml multicore adds extra safe points for a reason, even if they could be turned off.

In the end, what you write about details of the runtime system illustrates my point: the two minor collectors have qualitative differences regarding latency, that affect available programming styles, and this is not measured by the benchmarks.
aka the free-rider problem.

That's why i don't think hardware opensource will work, but that this model "worked" in the software world is a miracle. By "worked", i mean that it exists.
It is highly unlikely though,

This isn't as hard to understand as people try to make it. By the end of ten years, I'd said pretty much everything I had come there to say. It's always better to leave the party early. If I had rolled along with the strip's popularity and repeated myself for another five, ten, or twenty years, the people now "grieving" for Calvin and Hobbes would be wishing me dead and cursing newspapers for running tedious, ancient strips like mine instead of acquiring fresher, livelier talent. And I'd be agreeing with them. I think some of the reason Calvin and Hobbes still finds an audience today is because I chose not to run the wheels off it. I've never regretted stopping when I did.

An image that makes sense and a nice square-ish page makes more sense to me that scrolling forever (sometimes things scrolling over things) for like a handful of words.
To clarify - the current API has a limit of 10,000 "query points" per day for new API keys (most endpoints cost 1-5 points per query). It used to be 1 million; they've since throttled everyone down and started forcing audits. 10k is still something, but it certainly doesn't allow large scale research.

It's honestly hard to find a lot of fault with Massachusetts' response compared to most other places--at least within the constraints of testing availability and other constraints at a national level. And people have been pretty good at following restrictions as far as I can tell.

That said, like elsewhere along the Northeast Corridor, outcomes have not been great overall especially in poorer immigrant communities. But that doesn't align nicely with a narrative that bad outcomes are a result of bad government policy or kids going to the beach or whatever.

As Nate Silver has noted on multiple occasions, we'll probably come out of this maybe not understanding why results were so different in different places or, at best, understanding that the differences are due to factors that couldn't realistically have been controlled for.
"started out...universal"

Those two words seem to express what I think is a crucial falsehood, and it works for selective communication (dog whistling) if some people get cognitive dissonance for it and others don't. We have me as an example of the former and you as an example of the latter.

I'm not saying it's intentional, but it raises hackles for me.

The broad US support for this is at least in large part as a response to the enormous levels of undocumented immigrants present as a result of what is widely seen (across the political spectrum, though for different reasons) as an incredible failure of the US immigration system. You can’t meaningdully assess position on an ideological spectrum based on comparing preferred policy responses without considering the differences in the objective circumstances to which the policy responses are directed.

Is 2 spaces really a recent obsession? This is just what emacs (and ancient emacs-likes) have always done, and how all the Lisp code (excluding that by newbies and in fringe dialects) has been formatted. CL best practice, formatting wise, is 95% just to let emacs do what it does by default.
99% of the cases that last for months, like Nick Cordero, are from the early days of the pandemic where doctors mistakenly put people who didn't need mechanical respiration on ventilators, damaging healthy lungs and causing breathing dependence that doctors found difficult/impossible to wean from and all sorts of other complications, such as deep vein thrombosis (again, see Cordero's case).

The mean time between symptoms and death is two weeks (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...). Anyone with symptoms is in two weeks, three at the most, either going to be at home wondering what the fuss is about—the vast, vast, vast majority of cases—or dead.

- for those foreigners who made it in before the flights stopped, they all went to gov't facilities

- if someone tests positive, they will lock down all the people around them for 24hr, disinfect common areas and test

Funny enough. This was my fourth and final personal Mac [1]. I installed Windows 7 on it and gave it to my mom. She is still using it as a “guest” computer when she tutors. It’s running like a charm 14 years later. I installed Office 365 on it, but most of her students just use Google Docs with Chrome.

[1] not that I have anything against Macs, but I don’t use my personal computer for much of anything anymore. A cheap Windows laptop is good enough. I use my iPad/iPhone for everything I do personally.

> Will you force them with a gun? To forgo all friends, family, comforts of home, and be literally trapped at work for months?

Seems far more reasonable than locking down entire countries for months, asking people to forego friends and family (without even mentioning the consequent unemployment).

You wouldn't need to force anyone with a gun. A five-fold increase in wages - untaxed - would be more than enough incentive. The cost would be a drop in the ocean compared to the damage wrought by the measures adopted so far.

Trust is one of the more important and obvious traits. I also think versatility is critical too. Someone who doesn't want to do something because "it is the other person's job" It's important for all cofounders to be willing to do what is necessary for the business to be a success.

There isn't broad support for this as a policy. Everyone knows about this issue because it's one of the least popular potential Democratic policies, with a strong majority in opposition, which is why Biden doesn't support it.

Casually weighing human life against economic cost is not acceptable in what we might call a civilized society.

Casually? Sure that’s not good. But we weigh human life against cost all the time.

In the U.K. they value 1 QALY (Quality adjusted life year) at $50k. It’s very explicit.

People forget that economic activity is what pays for healthcare, welfare, etc.

You can’t ignore economics.

While true, spectacularly so for Apple. If you had bought shares of the company instead of a new base-model PowerBook G4, you'd have over $700k today.

If instead of a "founders' edition" Tesla Model S you'd bought shares of Tesla, you'd have enough money for fifty Teslas today.

If you'd bought NDVA shares instead of Nvidia's best GPU in 2009 ... you still would not be able to afford Nvidia's current best GPU. Hrmm.

After spending so much time playing turn-based RPGs and some turn-based strategy, for some reason I just couldn't handle the pressure of RTS. Playing Dune II felt like it was too much burden to manage -- I really liked to take my time to analyze every move in those turn-based games. This was the exact opposite: I had to execute!

I didn't bother with RTSs until I tried out "C&C: Generals" and really found out what I was missing. I think I realized then what my friends were trying to get me to see when they hyped Dune II.

I did play it enough that we all get a kick out of saying "No more Ornis? :(" to one another.
