Thank you, this is an important distinction and informs the different structural idioms of handling these cases:

In Go you get a flat recipe of instructions. You find an error then exit the function somehow, usually via returning. In the subsequent blocks the soundness is sometimes only implied AKA you 'know' you handled that error before and now you can assume that the other part of your 'product type' has a certain shape but they are inherently separated types.

In Rust you get matching and function expressions (often from traits) flowing through a tree. There is a type soundness to this: Each branch in isolation is a statically checked part of the whole tree.

(I have personally never used an advanced IDE for Go, but I can at least imagine that a sufficiently powerful one can catch quite a few of these cases as well.)

Hong Kong flu was significantly less deadly than Covid in United states, perhaps 3 to 10 times. NYC death rate is at least .2% which would translate to 600 000 death across the US, and that is a very rough estimate. Even more importantly without lockdowns you'd get even worse clusterhell in the hospitals, which would have to do triage between neverneding stream of Covid patients and "normal" patients, who need an urgent surgery, and that would lead to enormous death rate rise so your argument is backwards actually.

Mind Map – Customer Psychology to Product
Human-created systems (science funding in the US) are absolutely built upon human ethics and morals and subject to modification. But the concept of productivity = f(time-invested) is indeed an amoral natural law. f(.) is not necessarily something simple like a line, maybe a sigmoid, I don't know. But the idea that time spent on a problem is, away from corner cases like 0 and 24/7, positively correlated with results and productivity - that idea is indeed amoral and not really mutable.

You bring up the military, and I can draw another analogy - development of a military technology. Sure, you can decide nukes are amoral, but the more actors there are in the world, the higher the chance that someone else will develop them anyway, and will wipe the floor with you, amoral as though they may be. So do you really have a choice? Generall,y when a technological advance is possible and brings about significant advantages for the entity that develops it, it will eventually happen. It won't be good or bad, it just will be. Agonize about it or don't, develop it or let yourself be overpowered by the one who will - your moral choice entirely.
>I definitely don't think they saw the number of ambulance rides go down.

Covid hasn't been prevalent enough to increase ER visits in most of the country (until now) and other people have been avoiding going to the ER unless on deaths door. Not to mention the lack of driving has probably plummeted car accident rates. I remember reading that organ donors are in short supply.

> The points don't matter, just which side of the line each person is on

That's because it isn't just about ideas, it's about power. Politics and government now are not about coming to consensus solutions that everyone, or at least everyone but a small minority who just wants to game the system, can live with. Politics and government now are about imposing on everyone whichever set of ideas gets a slim 51% majority. That isn't the way it was supposed to work.

I personally would like to see a Constitutional amendment that would require a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress to pass any legislation, and a 3/4 majority required to override a Presidential veto. That would at least require some amount of bipartisan consensus, and therefore some amount of actually somewhat reasonable debate instead of just shouting back and forth, before a public policy was imposed on everyone.

>There is a direct line of descent between Maoist agitation in Western countries throughout the late-1960s and 1970s and the current radical left.

Do you have any sources I can read on this? If anything, it seems the radical left actually left Badiou and his ilk behind for the Frankfurt School, and even then, I'm doubtful as to what that intellectual heritage means to your average "radical leftist" today. This is all beside the point, however - is there a recent (from the past 20 years) poll or anything similar surveying the "radical left" (which, mind you, includes anti-statists and anarcho-Communists) on their opinion of the Cultural Revolution? One of the largest "radical leftist" groups in the West is Antifa, but from what I know, it's hard to see any Maoism (or Maoist ideas) present in its members[0]. The Sino-Soviet split and the ascension of Deng liberalizing China has practically deadened Maoist ideology in the West. You'd have a better (but still somewhat shaky) case to say the radical left today draws from Stalinism instead (as opposed to Marxism, Marxism-Leninism, etc.).

>They have approved of the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" in the past

To what degree? In what numbers? For example, I can't name a single leftist journal which the majority of contributors could be aligned with Maoist views, never mind views supporting the Cultural Revolution. Even the Maoists I know of with some influence (e.g. Badiou) are critical of the cultural revolution.

>and for all we know, they continue to do so

So it's a superstition?

>The M.O. is certainly similar.

About £1,400. The main saving comes from not going for any graphics card over an Intel Iris given that's not a requirement, but we can add an aftermarket card later if needed.

> Firing people for expressing "distasteful" views publicly is nothing new.

I don't think that is a correct synopsis of the concern. The concern is that there is no space to discuss the definition of "distasteful". There are also a bunch of amorphous terms being thrown around and any attempt to clarify those terms in general or to challenge how a person is using those terms or to explore the ramification of those terms; those efforts are themselves labeled "distasteful".

I'm hesitant to even list the terms that I don't think are well defined in our public discourse for this very reason. I anticipate that I will be immediately labeled as persona-non-grata for trying to clarify what the heck we are talking about.

> How is Google worse than 10 years ago?

GMail is unable using the web client. Google search results are not great when doing research on new topics, its good for telling you things you already know but forgot, but when trying to search about new topics the search bubbles are bad. They beg for adoption of new products and then cancel them within 18 months. Android is essentially a giant spyware platform, using your mic sends everything to google. Using chrome sends everything to google. On and on, I believe Google was a better company 10 years ago.

I don't think there are a lot of direct practical applications, outside of regular expressions for string search as others have mentioned. This is a building block to more advanced topics, some of which have practical applications. Theory of designing programming languages, and computational complexity theory. For instance, these are like baby steps toward P vs NP.

Completely disagree: censorship is bad by itself, even censorship against an entity which engages in censorship itself.

> The US should fairly and simply enact China's own media policies for foreign apps tit-for-tat: straight up bans, censorship, rules on ownership, make it impossible for them to compete. That would be fair.

Sorry, but "retaliation" is not a good justification for censorship.
The worst part of the PPP is that the approval of the "loans" was not the responsibility of the banks involved, they just "assisted" the loan seekers with collating their documents and the banks still charged the same fees they would normally for full loan servicing. So the banks got paid billions for doing very little, just a nice haircut off the top.
> The requirements of the PPP require that at least 60% must go to salaries.

My understanding was that 60% of what you don't have to pay back goes to salary. The money that went to salaries and an additional 67% you just keep. Is that right?
Dangerous suggestion. Who gets to define what's "crazy talk"? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
In my experience, there are two massive pains:

1. For a few years now, it has been very difficult for me to search for specific phrases, even with surrounding quotes, without getting results that don't include those phrases

2. Lately, every search where I am trying to research a topic or look up some instructrions for how to do something leads to to pages upon pages of products and services in that space rather than information about the thing. I can't look up how to install a stove without endless ads (whether posing as explicit ads or as official search results) for handymen or appliance stores. I want to know how to change my swamp cooler motor but instead I get professional HVAC services, and useless sponsored articles that aren't about "how to do <thing>" but "why you should do <thing> oh and by the way hire us".

On google search, results are neither informative nor accurate. The results exist only to sell something.
On Implementing Pull Request Feedback: A Short Story

Appears to be a much more modern take compared to zoneminder.
My company uses both. Slack is used for intra-department communication, Teams is used for inter-department communication.
I/O is especially problematic. I've seen people very, very confused about the totally predictable failures of their system components due to burst exhaustion on EBS.
It's definitely crossed my mind (and others as well). But as long as it conveys the idea, I'm fine with it :)
Oh, I didn’t mean to suggest that the powering of the system was unreasonable. For example, Hetzner will charge you about $250 per rack per month and between 15 and 30 cents (USD roughly) per kWh [1]. I assume they include the cooling and so on, but that means you’re basically looking at a ~4 kW draw for the usual 8xA100 system with some cores and RAM. So budget just under $1/hr for the power and $1000/month all in (depending on location). Most colo power in the US is closer to the Finland calculation than the Germany one.

I’d say keeping a spare system in case of failure is probably a bigger deal than the $10k/yr to house it :).

[1] https://www.hetzner.com/colocation
I've seen firsthand that Teams is effective at drawing attention from Slack and similar. People want a persistent chat service. There was a strong push for Slack, or something like it. Some companies push back, but if there's enough momentum and demand, eventually infrastructure needs to provide some solution. And if a company is already a Microsoft shop, they'll provide Teams (with its full integration with everything else they're already using) rather than considering something like Slack.
The type of knowledge relevant to becoming a good technical lead seems to me to be "tacit knowledge".

Books can provide vocabulary and ideas, as well as ways of thinking about the subject. I know that Andy Grove's "High Output Management" gave me way of thinking about the corporate world that helped shape my interactions in the workplace and with senior management. There's no doubt that through great books one gets to pick the brains of geniuses whom one might never get to meet in real life, so there's inherent value in that.

That said, to truly get better though, I believe one needs to be apprenticed or coached by someone who knows what "being good" looks like. That is, to find someone who has real expertise (not just commenters on HN who've never managed anyone), shadowing them and synthesizing their expertise to fit one's own style.

Most people who are "good" can't explain why they're good (some can, most can't) -- so one almost has to study them up close. There's an old saying that "leadership is caught, not taught"... sounds like a tired old cliché, but seems to be somewhat true in my observation.
Maybe it's not direct yet. And that's what makes me a little nervous about where this all could head.

If people are willing to hunt and cancel people without giving the accused a chance to even defend themselves (leading to reputation, job loss, etc), physical harm seems like the next logical step.
> The peer to peer stream will buffer through the whole video so you can seed it. The paid streaming service buffers only like the next 30 seconds to save on their bandwith

I think you're seeing how these systems actually work in practice, and why they operate this way. They don't quite work as you describe, and they work the way they do for the benefit of the user's playback experience more than anything else.

Most adaptive video implementations are using HLS/DASH and are serving up each video in 2-5 second chunks. (Usually closer to 2.) This is by design, and a very good thing for the vast majority of users and use-cases. You aren't beind mindlessly spoonfed chunks of the video you're trying to watch -- your playback experience is also being heavily measured, and the next chunk you receive is determined by this. If your bandwidth suddenly drops, or you've been watching a higher-quality version of the video than you can support, within a couple seconds you'll be served a slightly lower-resolution version. If it goes back up again, same thing, it'll be corrected very quickly.

If you're watching a video on your iPhone and walk from your fast wifi to the 3G outside to your garage with almost no service and back into your house again in a single minute, the video can have adapted to each of these situations quickly and fairly seamlessly.

This also solves another problem -- letting the user have near-instant playback at relatively high-quality without having to worry much about if your one-second bandwidth test wasn't as accurate as you'd hoped. The scenario you describe, where buffering for longer at the beginning to improve performance overall, is not a big concern here. If you serve a version a bit higher quality than the client can sustain, it'll be kicked down in a couple seconds. (By the way, the 2 seconds preceding every Netflix stream, when you see their logo and hear the tone that accompanies it, that's when Netflix tries to very quickly measure and determine which quality level to start you out with.)

If you have blazing-fast, highly-stable internet, that's great! And that's not most users. But in this case, most services should still be giving you far greater than 30 seconds worth of chunks, provided that the system determines this is safe/stable for your connection. If you're seeing a shorter buffer in web browsers, it's likely the cache readahead limits in Chrome/Firefox. (You can modify them!)

I can see how one might think having one big video file buffered might result in lower performance for peers, but in the ideal scenario, peers aren't being served byteranges of a single big video file that you have buffered locally with your fast internet, but rather the next chunk(s) that make sense based on the client's current playback experience.

I will admit that shoehorning adaptive video standards into p2p has been a more difficult challenge than letting WebTorrent handle the full file the way torrents have worked for years, but it's getting there, and it's the proper way to go.

Have you thought about integrating a way to bill the viewers directly? There are all kinds of content on the internet that I'd be willing to pay $2-5 on the spot to get a high quality stream that I could watch for some period of time.
> Would it be legal/ethical to allow automated pre-commitment to all terms and conditions that nefarious sites may choose to scatter around their pages, many of which won't have been written until after the user had ticked this "agree to everything" box?

Isn't everyone 'agreeing to everything' outside of the GDPR when they visit sites now, without the option of saying 'no'? Isn't everyone covered by GDPR being tricked into 'agreeing to everything' at the moment? Giving users the ability to disable the tracking aspect across all sites with one simple setting seems like a plus here.

> Any site doing this is breaking the law. Report them please.

Has any action been taken against a site for making their opt-out option more complicated than their opt-in option? Why try to regulate how millions of sites prompt users for consent instead of a few browsers?

> Because sites which track you don't want it. After all, they're the ones who invented "cookie banners"; and they could choose to get rid of them by just, you know, not tracking people. Yet they don't.

They didn't invent cookie banners, they added them because they were required by law. The same law could remove cookie banners and require the sites to respect a browser cookie.
> While I don't support BLM/M4BL, (the hashtag, not the sentence

This is a bullshit take. You either think black people are human and their lives matter. Or you don't. There's no "not the hashtag" -- the hashtag is the literal "black lives matter." The entire point of the political movement is to recognize that black people are people too and that western institutions of power * do not * recognize this truth.
What does stuff like this actually do except give them some good PR? It doesn't end racism or help black lives at all. It seems like a corporate facade of change while ignoring the real material issues of life for black inidividuals that these major protests pointed out.
I'm not a statistician, but I'd think the less they can fingerprint you, the more you go in the "noise" bucket.
