Hmm, this is hard to believe. It might be a selection bias, maybe Linux users are just more likely to answer these developer surveys, no?
There's plenty of moral judgements in science. Gene-engineering babies is outlawed. 'Do no harm' is one of the basic principles of medical research. Military science is guided by the interests of the state and its (moral) objectives.

Everywhere you go in science you will encounter moral sentiments at the basis of research. It would be totally equally scientific to experiment on babies, yet we don't do it, and listening to scientists and ethicists on these issues is part of doing science. Ethical debate is intertwined with research.

There is in fact no iron law on how to do science at all and maybe reading some Feyerabend is in order. Science is a social process, and keeping ethics out of science in fact constraints discourse about science in a way that has no justification at all. It impoverishes science by supposing that scientists behave like sort of autistic robots outside of society at large, which they of course are not.
As to your final question(s): I think the key differences are: developing a national strategy to defeat the virus, not live with it; clearly communicating that strategy; and sticking to it.

Countries with SARS experience were quick at developing and communicating those strategies. Other countries like NZ and Australia were not absolutely quick but were quick enough because the virus got here later.
Nah, if Christianity gets big enough in China to threaten CCP rule, they'll break off from the Pope, form their own branch (sinodoxy?) and fight to be seen as an equal authority. Then they can do things like ban service in anything but Chinese and decree all Bibles must be in Chinese, etc. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because Christianity is not big enough there.
Please share if you can, I had no idea there was a night walking etiquette in the US
I liked Broken Earth, maybe it wasn't very consistent and somewhat too long, but overall it was good. I also recommend Ancillary series by Ann Leckie.
You are renting an overprovisioned timeslice, not a dedicated core. Even Hetzner's time slice instances are twice the price. Their dedicated CPU instances are almost 10x the price.

That doesn't deny an objective reality out there, it's just saying that we have different information about what it's out there and, therefore, we arrive to different conclusions.

I don't understand how that perspective is different from just "objective Bayesianism" with different priors.
That the unemployment numbers are politicized is hardly a shocking claim.

However, given the demonstrated willingness of the current Administration's detractors to attack the way the man drinks water or descends a ramp, it seems odd that a substantive story like "The Numbers Are Baked" has been overlooked.

Could be for banning certain blogs in certain countries.
So the *.in blog would be banned but the same .com blog would continue functioning.
Nah, gait based subject recognition might come in the future.
It's rather trite to go on about how the word "curry" is a crude term that glosses over the rich variety of regional cuisines between and within various countries. Anyone who wants to engage in oneupmanship know-it-all will stress its inauthenticity.

Yet it is a useful term - as someone else has mentioned - to refer to meat/veg in spicy gravy sauce associated with certain countries. Just because it's a word developed outside of India doesn't mean it isn't meaningful.
What other definition is there for saying that something exists, than that it correctly predicts observed phenomena? If you say that the table in front of me exists, surely that's nothing more or less than saying that the concept of a table correctly predicts the table-like sensations you see and feel.
OK, that's a fair point.

I have had the impression that the age effect on sickness and transmission is much less than on mortality, but I admit I don't remember any specific data on that.
That's interesting. I've browsed a few of alternative apis, and if I get it correctly then newsapi.org returns full text articles for paid plans. I would research this question further, and maybe will change the api to return only part of the content.
It depends. if you've just fixed a fairly obvious bug then no but if you're (for example) merging something like ebpf into the kernel then expect to be writing a fairly large commit documenting how, why, where etc.
I do wonder just how much TDF benefit from other open source software. If the developers of the software they depend upon for their build toolchain, libraries within their product, text editors, web stack, development machine OS, web browsers (etc, etc) were to start these pressure tactics I'm sure it wouldn't be so well received and they wouldn't be crying that "during the last 10 years there has been a constant increase in the number of businesses using the free version without paying or giving back anything, and this has created issues for the project’s business model."
This is really interesting! I think that the scalable approach like you proposed in your thesis makes a lot of sense, but comes at some cost to the user experience.

Rather than being 'smart' and automating everything, we want to make developing apps really easy and familiar.

I'm curious what the biggest challenges were for you with the project? Maybe we could build on your research.
I wonder if this points to the importance of "group technologies", such as rule of law and democracy. Because they're so intangible they've very hard to reconstruct from societies where we don't have written records. But they can greatly affect success and prosperity. And they're also a lot more fragile - potentially can regress within a generation.
Thank you for that tip, that would've saved me some annoying copy/pasting in the past!
Hello HN,
We just made an autoliker for Tinder, Bumble, OkCpuid & Tantan on Android. Would love to have your feedback on the app.
NP. Regarding your last point, my understanding is the pneumonia deaths are on the same pdf because they are end game deaths from getting sick. Likely with one of the flu's. The COVID-19 death stats on the other hand, are inflated: http://v6y.net/1541e03e6cfd1442590bc7b5476f88c30a29a0d881bdb...

What really matters is excess deaths.

We maxed out at 140% between 4/11 and 4/18/2020. One could try correlating that with the lockdowns.
As said in one comment, PART2 (link at the bottom of the page), is where this begin to be added value compared to the existing theory.

That being said, very great article that describe well and nicely what I have personally experienced in a sme company that was bought by a big tech group at some point:
- when I arrived, the core team was already there with some having personal ties. A few beginners that took the mediocre manager as mentor, that took himself his manager as mentor
- they learnt by themselves, mostly there, they were responding to diverging opinion with anger.
- over the years, a few 'outsiders' arrived and try to change things by showing the problems and explaining that outside world do differently.
- but each of them had to face the seniority argument reinforced by the group effect to justify that they can't be wrong.
(Listen, we are 3, you are 1, it means that we are right and you are a pain in the ass to think otherwise. Doesn't count that you say that out of the company are unanimous on the subject...)

The worst (almost funny) case I remember was that:

- Person 1 (p1) and person 2 (p2) have a disagreement on how something has to be implemented.

- p1 is the boss favorite, so he is always right... so his solution will be implemented. No one listen to p2 that says that it is an inefficient idea, possibly problematic and that is why no-one does it this way outside.
(No-one? In fact they found one case over 100 of outside projects that did that, so that gave them confirmation that they were right...)

- p1 engine solution is implemented and p2 has to do a component working with that, but that does not work well at all, very slow for basic operations, lots of unexpected deadlocks and issues like that. Another manager complains about the issues.

- P2 decides to give a try reimplementing the engine with his solution. That is completed is no time and it is excellent: performance x1000, no lockup, no more issues with basic operations.

- results are shown to mediocre manager. But instead of accepting and going this way, he blocks the thing and can't accept that his favorite was wrong. So says that there should be a bug in P1 implementation and give him as much time as needed to test and look at it.

- after 1 months, P1 did everything he could with his solution to fix it without using the solution of P2. He comes proudly with his engine is now 10x faster than initially.

- but so, 10x vs 1000x is a no match, and P1 solution was still rigged with issues. So it is finally P2 solution that is used 'out of choices'. BUT... as manager still does not accept that he and P1 were not right. He said: ok we use P2 solution, but you will have to embed and support P1 implementation in the final product. Not to be used but maybe one day...

- conclusion of the story? Evaluation time arrived. Did P2 got a good eval? That would be logic, he saved the product, gave an important perf and stability boost to the solution. But no, he got the worst! Manager said that P1 had to take depression pills because of P2... Not because his solution was wrong and couldn't accept, learn and improve from it. Buuuut: P1 got the maximum grade!
Most likely they claim the domain back quickly? Yes?

But that’s a massive mess up by Google. I know blogspot is not any at focus product for them but still it should hurt.
Maybe, but that depends if you think trade action against China, and drawing attention to the increasing oppression of the citizens of Hong Kong, is ineffectual. Do you have any proposals?
Do you know any black people. As in seriously know them?
You kid, but I'd say humans disagreeing about what the man (and his boy) in the sky thinks has been the source of millennia of conflict...
It is oxymoronic, yes, and you are echoing my very concerns :)
They already did this, let's how it goes.
If open source models aren't developed, and even if they are, governments are going to develop their own. At least this way everyone else is on equal footing and not at a strict disadvantage. This tech could be used to identify police when they are in riot gear and cover their identification, for instance.
To say it’s colonial is a bit of a stretch. It’s simply a word chosen by a group of outsiders to categorize something they didn’t know much about.

The more relevant criticism of the word boils down to the facts that it doesn’t really mean anything to Indians, and that it’s meaning is so poorly defined that it barely means anything at all. The word can be used to refer to pretty much any Indian food, which is simply a poor categorization, and that use would wind up a lot of Indian people. The other use case is pretty much anything that has a spiced gravy. But a ragu uses spiced gravy as much as a butter chicken does, and most people wouldn’t call a ragu a curry. So it must be a spiced gravey with Asian ingredients, but a Japanese curry has more ingredients in common with a ragu than it does a saag paneer, also a lamb tagine dish uses a spiced gravy with Asian ingredients, and people wouldn’t call that a curry either.

Basically it’s a word that has no definition that would describe all of its different use cases.
I wasn't 'sane' prior to this so can't really offer much except to say that I've worked hard on increasing empathy and understanding. In weird times, people are naturally more aggressive and prone to lashing out (anger transference). Taking a few seconds to breath deep and feel compassion has helped me to de-escalate more than a few heated debates. Also, I've started to make a conscious effort to make eye contact, smile and nod a greeting to people when out in public which usually results in a relieved smile in return and a noticeable relaxation of their body posture.
This is a great idea and a desktop app is the right fit for a product that aims to give sovereignty to the user. The app should be able to generate HTML files and then upload them to one of the supported providers (netlify, private vps, etc), and at the same time it should also support a list of DNS providers so that it can point the user owned domain to the correct hosting provider. That way the user maintains ownership of the domain and can switch hosting providers at the click of a button.

This means that you as the app developer would be out of the loop and couldn't easily sell the user out. You would only be there to provide updates, include more providers etc.

edit: reading the description of you software better, I think this is what you are going for. The thing you haven't added yet is domain management.

Not really, although off topic, one of the sessions at GTC 2020 was how Otoy gave up on Vulkan for their Octane Render, and decided to use CUDA instead, when Optix 7 added CUDA based rendering support.

Vulkan also suffers from being too late to the game.

NVidia moved CUDA into a polyglot runtime early in the game (around version 3 I think), and took a 10 year effort to redesign the hardware for optimal mapping to C++ memory model.

Vulkan might eventually get it via SYCL, now that SYSCL has turned into backend agnostic mappings for C++ heterogeneous computing.

But even if SYSCL turns out to be adopted across the industry, Vulkan will just be another backend alongside CUDA, Rom, FPGAs,....
I think this study is little flawed, I would appreciate if someone with more statistics background can comment.

I think:

- monte carlo simulation is not good to compare with election results. At least you have households tend to vote similar. Or some region more likely to vote on one candidate.

- also some percentages should be more likely, given the size of N considering first point.
It would if it worked, but every time I've tried using it I've hit some combination of crashes and weird false positives.
basically everywhere
If the problem is longevity, then they should just be able to easily export the contents to a format that can easily be archived and then turned back into a working blog with another platform.

Most blogs are as simple as markdown files, with maybe some complexity in referring to other media files like images, and a key/value map in the form of front matter. That's not very difficult to serialize.
Although I don't read medieval Persian, my guess is that "burned vegetable oil" would be better translated as "mustard oil heated to its smoke point". Mustard oil was (and still is) a common cooking oil in the region, and heating it to high temperature reduces the pungent taste.
Could be a flawed survey (Comment was based on stackoverflow's). I generally like a lot about each of the three big OSs and yet I hate certain aspects of each of them.

That we're down to subtleties of this sort shows some progress.

In the US south, before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_v._Carr , it was apparently popular to commit voter fraud by weighting votes in some areas more strongly than votes in others.

After that case, those committing fraud were so naive that all the dead people voted in alphabetical order. (IIRC the story continues: after arriving in the state Senate, the first order of business for the properly-winning candidate was a debate on how long someone had to be dead before they couldn't vote anymore.)

https://www.atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-articles/the-fi...

(In my voting jurisdiction we always conduct elections by mail. The last time there was a fraud, not only did all the people whose ballots were stolen report it, but the ballots had all been returned filled in with the same pen and same handwriting. I am glad we don't have "voting machines.")

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

Human life and economic cost are not separate things. The economy is a comprehensive (if incomplete) description human life. When we shut down the economy we cause millions to lose jobs, to lose incomes, to lose structure, to lose community, to lose activities that give their lives purpose and joy.

The economic shut down is killing people. It's also reducing quality of life and length of life. That's not to say it's not worth it. The effects of lockdown are hard to measure and no one can be sure if it's worth it or not. But this framing of economic cost vs human life as if it's just a little money is wildly inaccurate and damaging.
I know its very important to validate the Idea before starting the work, and such videos are great way to do that. But I strongly believe such videos must embed some sort of information like "Conceptual working of Future product" or "Video represents the basic concept of our targeted product".

These types of info/notes will high likely give you the list of possible future buyer using the forms like "Add to wish-list","Be the first one to know when we release".

This is one of the ideas presented in this Chapter. (i.e. to identify the geometry with the invariant of the transformation). In 3D if x represents a reflection, it also represents the plane left invariant by that reflection. If x represents a rotation/translation it also represents the euclidean/infinite line left invariant by that rotation/translation. And if it represents a point reflection, it also represents the 1 point left invariant by that point reflection.

Framing it in terms of vectors/bivectors is what allows us to quantify these ideas. (i.e. have to write down your planes/lines/points with numbers at some point).

But you got the essence! The abstract/coordinate free/geometric/group theory ways of thinking about this are most insightful.

So in PGA, vectors are reflections, other isometries are combinations of reflections, and the geometry are the associated invariants. (including planes, lines, points and screw axi).

A fun extension is to replace the reflection by an inversion (reflection in a sphere). Vectors now become inversions (leaving spheres invariant), the rotors become the conformal group (composition of two inversions), leaving circles invariant, etc .. the corresponding Clifford Algebra is CGA (R(4,1), with a proper parametrisation).
I personally think there are multiple reasons for this situation.

* It is fun to learn initially, to see something new working. Once you get something working not many people see fun in spending a lot of time in getting it to work better.

* There is huge amount of introductory materials (guides, tutorials, examples) but the amount of available materials falls drastically as you start to progress.

* Only some people are able to actually think in abstract terms required to "create" new knowledge based on existing facts. Beginners can advance quickly by "recreating" -- executing tutorials, copying existing code, etc. It is relatively easy to use these as building blocks for a simple application. But as you progress you have to figure out more and more new knowledge, understand underlying principles. This is what many people either don't feel comfortable doing or don't feel is necessary to do or are just plainly incapable.

* It gets more difficult to work with other people in your team as you create knowledge in a given topic. There is tendency to push back when team member tries to introduce something new that is not clearly recreation of accomplishment of somebody else available on the Internet.

* Creating new knowledge in the topic is a huge risk in that it is unknown payoff for large amount of honest work. There is not much risk in following existing tutorials, it is pretty much guaranteed that it is possible to recreate accomplishment others did. When you create new knowledge (for example new patterns, principles, guidelines) it is likely you are going to make mistakes. This fact may cause people uneasy and dissuade them from further advancement in the topic.

* Getting mediocre in any specific topic is frequently seen as good return on investment. For example, as an architect I would maybe not want to get expert at any of the frameworks I know. I see this as a reasonable tradeoff which allows me to tackle other problems as soon as I think I know "enough" about particular topic.
I do wonder what would be the results for other countries - like in the EU zone (it would be interesting, moreover, to see if / what are the differences between denmark, germany, italian etc.. youtube trending videos)
That giant "Mouse Lives Matter" image is a cheap and tasteless joke and you're distracting from whatever cool hack you did.

Sorry for sounding like the PC police, but for me it's comparable to showing off some plane autopilot system and saying "you can even program it to fly to the nearest skyscraper"...
>I'm sure phones had better GPUs 3-4 years ago than the PS4, and more RAM

I'd like to see that phone. The PS4 was slightly weaker than my AMD 7870 at the time. If I could get the performance of a 7870 on a laptop without a discrete GPU that would be amazing.

Turns out it's grim. Even a snapdragon 855 doesn't even reach a single TFLOP... [0] If you want to wait until the end of July you can get a phone that breaks the first TFLOP (snapdragon 865)

Meanwhile the ancient 7870 had 2.56 TFLOPS (which is what I am equating the PS4 with). Twice the performance of the unreleased snapdragon.

Going from 4 years ago to a GPU that hasn't even been released yet not even scratching the performance of a PS4 turns your entire comment into a big disappointment.

The Japanese Navy apparently acquired a "curry" tradition from the British Royal Navy

https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/japanese-curry-history

NB Jared Diamond's book Upheaval mentions how Japan reacted to a crisis in the 19th century by going out and seeking the best sources to copy - for naval matters that happened to be the Royal Navy and curry came with that:
