None of the cities I listed charge that little in head tax: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/seattle-businesses...

This measure is progressive taxation on earnings over $150k a year, if anything its a boon for small and medium businesses in Seattle.

These large companies have driven up rent and gentrifed our neighborhoods while paying less in taxes than small and medium businesses, meanwhile our tax burden is still much lower than California.
>All preventable deaths should be prevented

What's a preventable death? Everybody dies eventually, there's no such thing as a preventable death. There's delaying death, but everyone dies. Period.
Additionally, we must also look at what percent of the population is at high risk.

India is a way younger country than Sweden. This means, with the exact same deathrate-by-age India would see far fewer deaths-per-capita with all else being constant.
The cars in TFA ship with the hardware to do things like lane assist and heated steering wheels. The functionality is already there. They are charging subscription fees to flip an enable bit in software.

Correspondingly, they remotely disable functionality in your vehicle if you stop paying them.

I'm not sure of a better example of rent seeking.
"Everyone gets COVID" is not an unavoidable eventuality. The spread of the virus can be attenuated enough so that it a decreasing amount of people, and eventually a vaccine can be developed.
Your comparison is valid if, and only if, all other social metrics are equal between Sweden and Michigan.

For example, do Michiganers have the same level of access to quality medical care as Swedes?

What are the smoking rates in Sweden compared to Michigan?

What about the housing quality?

Etc. etc. etc.

In other words, there's a lot of variables at play here.
Sigh, that's just so blatant cherry-picking. Macron is deeply unpopular for his neo-liberal "reforms" that caused the yellow vests protests, a head-to-head polling against other candidates would likely render similar results.
That exactly. The whole idea of a chatroom as a searchable archive doesn't make sense to me. Chats are quick bites of information that make sense "right now".
Thank you for the very detailed and thorough response! I should note that your prior art video uses hall effect sensors instead of an optical mechanism. I've also seen that method used by others on reddit, and remember hearing that it might not be as accurate as optical switches.
After watching the video again I realized the screen has some kind of digitizer behind it. That was highly unusual for touch screens of the era.

Most touch screens from the 80s were not actually sensing touch; instead they had light beams and sensors in a grid around the screen. Your finger would interrupt the light and the sensors at the x and y axis would determine your finger's placement over the screen.

Oh for sure, the CDC is certainly more talked about by the media, but the power and structure of the agencies is fairly similar.

It's only a matter of time until EU's agencies impose supremacy on its Member States. The EU supreme court is already starting to penalize member States for violating policies[1].

I use `go mod vendor` a lot.
A lot more has changed in the financial markets than just the way perofrmance is measured and which alphas are known.

Some examples (not in chronological order, mostly US equities focused): electronic market makers, electronic order execution (which means large orders are harder to detect now), retail access, the way retail flow is directed around, ZIRP + QE, the rise of indexing, Volcker Rule.

My point is that it would be quite hard to isolate the impact of just how people think of performance.

No they didn't. Danish, Finnish and Norwegian tourists are still coming to Sweden. It is just that Swedes can't go to them.
Yes, fortunately most people agree that stopping covid lies on the unacceptable side of the line.
These are all problems caused by the economic system.

If an economic system can't cope with a relatively minor external stressor - and Covid is not nearly as dangerous or destructive as some stressors - then the problem is with the economic system.

Actions do indeed have consequences - and trying to use the wrong tool for the job because you can't imagine a better tool is possible is not a wise action.
I like how you call 10 - 15 people dying insignificant without considering how significant those deaths are to their loved ones.
None of this is novel information, and "it's literally just a wiki!" isn't in any way actually true and is incredibly reductive. Along with everything else, you're not even including images.
Prevents 1 death in 8 of ventilated cases and 1 in 25 on oxygen.
I found the reasons to be... cryptic.
Epidemiologists look at annual deaths cumulative from the start of the flu season, exactly because we care about total mortality and not about noisy spikes in the data. And that picture looks completely different: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EcTV1OmWsAE3kAs?format=jpg&name=...

Remember that 2018 and 2019 were unusually mild flu seasons, so many people had already outlived their actuarial life expectancy when covid hit.
Not sending kids to school is about keeping the teachers, administrators, and their dependents and contacts safe. It's about grandparents who care for the children and would be at risk. I don't think it's about your mom.
Maybe, but social pecking order will always be a scarce resource, so I think we're going to be on this track for a long time.

It's my first comment on HN. I am not a native english speaking person so I am sorry for some wrong wording in my answer.

I am from Portugal. In first 2 months we were considered an example on how to deal with an pandemic.

Today, our best business partners, I list UK in this scenario, does not give Portugal a safe destiny badge.

People tend to overcome rules. UK people are flying to Spain an then get a bus to Portugal.

Today's news was about 2000 students from Netherlands partying in Portugal, Algarve.

I am a young and healthy person AFAIK, but my mother is not. Neither my father in law or some of my closest friends.

Any death caused by irresponsible behaviour should be treated as an law infringement.

I really don't care if I get Corona. Pretty much I do, or in this case, I don't do, is thinking about people that does not have the chance of saying: fuck it.

It's the world we have, but I am sure it's not the world I wanted.

Bare with me: any death that could be avoided they should be avoided. And we could avoid alot of deaths if we think about others, an not that much about ourselves.

60 years ago you didn't have internet, lot's didn't even have light or bathroom in house.

Divorces are up with confinement. Are those people really meant to be together?

Don't look to much to your belly, and look around. Learn how to respect others without expecting the retribution.

You will feel great when you give up something you think it's aquired by right to something you think it's just right.

As well, there are two large categories of MVPs, low fidelity and high fidelity (https://www.robotmascot.co.uk/18-types-of-minimum-viable-pro...), and subtypes within that.

What I did was a "fake door" MVP, as the article states. It is not necessarily intended for directly measuring sales but whether its worth my time to build it in the first place. Having over a thousand sign-ups now, it validates that I should indeed spend my time on it.

Then, I would make a high fidelity one, a "one feature" MVP as the article calls it, which would cut the product down to its essence and see if it can still solve a specific problem, and whether people would still pay for only one feature. I am doing this now with a mobile app instead of web/desktop app as the reduced screen space forces me to think about the problem of time block productivity from its essence.

Perhaps your definitions of MVP are different than others, which is perfectly fine. There are others I've seen over the years like simple, lovable, complete (products), and so on (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22955085).
As far as I know, the protests did not start after the officers were charged with murder. This seems like a crucial distinction if you're going to split hairs. People need to stop saying of course we always agreed on everything, because saying it nicely doesn't soften the message that one person can define reality for another.
I love this post.
Your second assumption is pretty problematic. While Python is popular with the non-developer crowd, it's not like it isn't itself a professionally used language. And it is used extensively. I've used it as my primary work language for 5 years now in industries from processor design, embedded systems, and now data backends. In all cases, it was the easiest to use language that did the most work. More and more work flows to it because of this.
There is a 501(c)(3) called the "Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation." That organization created the slogan "black lives matter." That organization has leaders. They're Marxists.

> You're pretty obviously implying that these protests are somehow linked to Marxism, otherwise that entire posts make little sense. I realize that conservatives always want to find some "leaders" to argue with rather than accept that it's a mass movement, not some top-down movement that has some sort of charter that most must directly or indirectly accept.

I am not arguing that we should discredit the narrow goals of the protestors because of the ideologies of the BLM founders. In fact, I said exactly the opposite:

> I am pro-BLM... I think people of every stripe can do something to help finish the job of reconstruction.

But that's not what we're talking about. We are talking about a very specific quote from John Carmack upthread: "the statement 'black lives matter' is easy to agree with if you’re a decent human being." It is disingenuous to the extreme to suggest that one might not reasonably be concerned about the scope of that statement.

Yeah, I’d say “owned by a huge media conglomerate” is a negative in this context given that’s what Google is. Any other large company is likely to be similarly incentivised to minimise reputational risk to advertisers.
> often have good legal help

That hasn't been my experience, instead my experience is that many of these companies went through large numbers of lawyers who told them what they wanted to do would be likely found to be illegal before finding some that would sign off on it.

> "forever money" for an indefinite time period

For the most part this is because they don't deliver anything useful, so they won't get any more (at least not until they spin up a new operation under another name).

Some of the companies I see in that database have principals who are on their third or more failed blockchain/ico and hey have become exceedingly efficient at it.
wait if you put it that way that is not the deal either,

six months of isolation for a 1/100,000 chance of dying 50 years sooner,

turns out I take that chance of dying each time I climb a mountain, and I get back less value than what is on offer in your trade

I wonder if they have plans to expand to non-browser viewports?
I love this, but it struck me in the opening paragraph how similar it is to the challenges around training AI on higher-level abstraction goals, with tons of examples of AI's basically "cheating" and passing information discretely to itself to yield answers, rather than actually solving the problem as the human had hoped!
>not fake stuff where an employee can initiate a breach by posting something to slack

This alone tells me that your first sentence is not true.

Do you work in IT security? Have you used DLP tools? Have you seen the process to certify technologies for use and secure them when they are being used? Have you seen the cost of those tools, and how much time/manpower it takes to run them?

If Google Docs is not approved for company use, how does the security team identify SSNs in Google Docs? They don't. So the security team approves Google Docs and buys a product to monitor Google Docs. But now people want Dropbox, which means more cost. And Box, which means more cost. And OneDrive which means more cost. And Bobby only uploads his stuff to S3 buckets, which means more cost. All of these services cost money and all of the tools required to monitor them cost money too.

And while the security team is spending tens of millions of dollars per year (probably a low number actually) to monitor all these approved cloud storage services, Maria uploads a thousand W2 tax forms to her personal Gmail account and brings down the company anyway. Or if Gmail is blocked, she puts it on a USB drive and loses it when her car is broken into. Or if the security team locks down USB storage, she prints the documents and accidentally leaves the folder on the bus. Or if there's a DLP tool watching the printers... she shares it in a personal Slack channel so she can work on it at home.

Security is hard, and the mindset of users who say "you can't stop me" makes it almost impossible. The security team needs to be right 100% of the time, but an attacker only needs to be right once. The risky part isn't banning functionality, it's employees who refuse to follow the rules. And in any job, if you refuse to follow the rules, you get fired.
There's an endless variation on how shell scripts can present help information. Here's another, consider this array:

ARGUMENTS+=(
"a,arch,Target operating system architecture (amd64)"
"b,build,Suppress building application"
"o,os,Target operating system (linux, windows, mac)"
"u,update,Java update version number (${ARG_JRE_UPDATE})"
"v,version,Full Java version (${ARG_JRE_VERSION})"
)

The lines are machine-readable and alignment is computed by the template:

https://github.com/DaveJarvis/scrivenvar/blob/master/build-t...

When install script[0] help is requested, the following is produced:

$ ./installer -h
Usage: installer [OPTIONS...]

-V, --verbose Log messages while processing
-h, --help Show this help message then exit
-a, --arch Target operating system architecture (amd64)
-b, --build Suppress building application
-o, --os Target operating system (linux, windows, mac)
-u, --update Java update version number (8)
-v, --version Full Java version (14.0.1)

Using an array reduces some duplication, though more can be eliminated. Scripts typically have two places where the arguments are referenced: help and switch statements. The switch statements resemble:

https://github.com/DaveJarvis/scrivenvar/blob/master/install...

Usually parsing arguments entails either assigning a variable or (not) performing an action later. Introducing another convention would allow hoisting the switch statement out of the installer script and into the template. Off the cuff, this could resemble:

ARGUMENTS+=(
"ARG_ARCH,a,arch,Target operating system architecture (amd64)"
"do_build=noop,b,build,Suppress building application"
"ARG_JRE_OS,o,os,Target operating system (linux, windows, mac)"
"ARG_JRE_UPDATE,u,update,Java update version number (${ARG_JRE_UPDATE})"
"ARG_JRE_VERSION,v,version,Full Java version (${ARG_JRE_VERSION})"
)

The instructions to execute when arguments are parsed are thus associated with the arguments themselves, in a quasi-FP style. This approach, not including the FP convention, is discussed at length in my Typesetting Markdown series[1].

Did the police officers who killed George Floyd think black lives matter? Do the people changing 'blue lives matter' think that black lives matter?

They don't. Our at least, not as much as other lives.
Sure you can. You can be killed by a bad driver very easily, even if you're just sitting in a park or walking down the street.
Some phones don't have such fine grained control over the flash, in my case (Galaxy Note 10+) it still is like a flashbang.
As someone who has work experience in Insurance and is looking to transition into Software Engineering, I believe this job suits my skills very well. Is it okay if I ask for a referral to get my application noticed?
Not during the time but presumably the lack of orders during that period results in reduced work the following day. Otherwise, they'd be like many businesses: closed on sunday, but handing sunday's orders on monday.
> The coronavirus has, in half a year, killed more people than the worst flu seasons

That's not true. The flu seasons in 1968, 1957, 1918, and 1889 each killed over a million people worldwide, twice as many as COVID-19 in roughly the same timespan, and that out of a lower total population, and despite lockdowns and quarantines.

(Who is downvoting this simple truth? How is anyone going to discuss this issue if we can't even talk about basic facts?)

centimeter's posts in that thread directly reject your proffered line of thought:

This isn’t the issue - the issue is lower variance across black faces in any basis.

> While you're right that the Federal government has the CDC, every single US States has its own infectious disease/health agency[1].

Those appear to be general public heath agencies with names like: "Department of Health Services"; "Medicaid"; and "Department of Health and Environment". I don't see one mention of the word "infectious" to indicate specialty.

None appear to be a unit with a mandate along the lines of "Detecting and responding to new and emerging health threats"

https://www.cdc.gov/about/organization/mission.htm

or "Leading research to understand, treat, and prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases"

https://www.niaid.nih.gov

> Furthermore, the EU also has its own centralized disease agency[2]

"ECDC has approximately 300 staff and commands an annual budget of over €50 million."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Centre_for_Disease_Pr...

Compare with:

"CDC's budget for fiscal year 2018 is $11.9 billion."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centers_for_Disease_Control_an...

Similar population, very different numbers.

> By March 23, every single State declared a state of emergency, and 48/50 States closed their schools.

I was alluding to steps that might have been taken many years ago. Like, for example, establishing rapid response teams. Like, for example, giving states carte blanche to do their own testing when needed and not be forced to wait around for the CDC to do something. Certainly not reprimanded for taking the initiative.
You can also take a hint from the article and just lie about what people report.
its not that its just boring, but it doesn't provide any insight. We all have experienced changing our minds due to facts , there is nothing to write about that statement. What is interesting is that despite thinking that we are very logical with what we believe, study after study show that to be not the case on average. Confirmation bias is pervasive
Even better: Don’t use bash. I started using Python instead of bash. It’s way better to read and more maintainable. If I need the performance of native-Unix commands, I can still use them using subprocess.
No amount of fines would make a difference? I beg to differ. Make the fines high enough, bill them to the executives personally, I guarantee it will make a difference.

A large enough fine could literally take the company and thus their power away from them. A large enough fine could literally bankrupt the company.

The problem is simply that the fines aren't big enough.

I love the simplicity of it, too. Newer RTS games seem to pile on the complexity to try to differentiate themselves from the crowd.
Academia was not initially tasked with the purpose of preparing students for careers in industry. Academic interests are purely that: academic. They serve no intended purpose necessarily beyond their contribution to knowledge, understanding, and often the enjoyment of academics. In some cases, there is overlap between concepts of interest to academics and those in industry. However, to expect an undergraduate degree in an academic discipline, such as computer science, to prepare you for the needs of modern industry is to confuse the priorities and values of academia and industry. You can raise the question of, 'should this be the case?' and of course the answer will vary across fields, academics within fields, and students too. However, I would suggest that it may be an error to value the profit-driven needs of the industrial world to those of the academic world, which veer closer to having a value derived from the intrinsic nature of knowledge itself. If you want a school to teach you how to solve problems for Google or Facebook, I don't believe such a school should come at the cost of replacing the function and values of academia itself; perhaps some fields/departments in academia should extend study and degrees in the direction of industry-motivated study or new schools should open with such a focus. But don't be confused with your expectations that academic study should provide any tangible value in a capitalistic world.
