Looking at that graph, the percentage of positive tests peaked just before testing increased. I'm not sure that indicates the spread of the virus peaked rather than increased testing capacity resulted in less stringent requirements for tests and a lower positive rate.

>BLM protestors making people kneel

Source? Any videos of BLM protestors forcing people to kneel?
that's pretty close to what i'm thinking of, but still has some limitations (from https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/single-file-components.html):

• Global definitions force unique names for every component

• String templates lack syntax highlighting and require ugly slashes for multiline HTML

• No CSS support means that while HTML and JavaScript are modularized into components, CSS is conspicuously left out

• No build step restricts us to HTML and ES5 JavaScript, rather than preprocessors like Pug (formerly Jade) and Babel
Sure for the sites that show ads. But I'm taking about the ones where they literally just put the story in to rank higher in search results. The ones just doing it to share their recipe.
The paper is definitely accessible, but that doesn't mean you don't have to have a solid understanding of math to do this stuff behind the hood. They gloss over stuff like "focal loss" plus this is just an update on some small tweaks they've made, so obviously wouldn't be super math heavy.

All in all, not a great paper to prove your point imo.
Maybe, maybe not, but surely we can recognize the difference between trained, sworn, gov't-empowered law enforcement professionals and murderers, right?
Yes, your other point was something I hadn’t thought about. I guess his advice would be good for some people, but I’m not sure about the 99%. It’s not uncommon to use small images as text-like elements, and when you do that, if you have this reset, you will need to explicitly make them inline. Not a huge deal, but people tend to copy and paste their own CSS libraries between projects, and redefining basic default semantics of elements may create confusion and extra work down the line when things don’t behave the way that any documentation you may consult assumes.
OpenSSL recently passed a change in their vuln announcement policy to give a major firm, which everyone here knows I think, 7 days advance notice of any zero-day that they were made aware of.

This was the engineer who helped set up the new policy: https://awe.com

To be honest, maybe it's a good idea. It depends on how much support Huawei is willing to give OpenSSL.
>Higher more people, overlap shifts, problem solved.

Sure, sometimes the solution is to just throw more money at the problem. However that doesn't mean the money is available to dedicate to that solution.

Capturing 10% of cases would put the US CFR of ~0.4% which is completely unsupported. Increasing that to even 30% so a 1.2% CFR and your talking 3.1 years which is well past estimates for an effective vaccine.

PS: Influenza vaccines are common with 68% of people over 65 getting vaccinated in the US. Further at least half of all cases are asymptotic which ends up contributing significantly to herd immunity.
Over 800 healthcare workers have died since this began. https://khn.org/news/lost-on-the-frontline-health-care-worke...

It takes time and effort to create new ventilators, masks, ppe's, etc... but it takes like 20-30 years to create a new doctor or nurse, they're in limited supply - the more we lose the harder this virus will be to defeat long-term.

Likewise the hit to public schools if we lose janitorial, bussing, teaching, and food-working staff MANY of which skew older.

If a school system in a rural town doesn't have enough workers to bus kids, clean up the school, serve lunch, or teach (there's already a teaching shortage because it's a shit job that doesn't pay what it's worth), then schools will be defunkt before long anyways.

What do we do then? It'll be decades before we can replace all those teachers, so we'll have to speedily move to online teaching... what then do we do about parents who need school as daycare so they can provide?

We're beginning to see how intertwined everything in society is, and it's all seemingly crashing down and most people don't even see it happening... it's just a a flu... it'll be over soon.... someone said on FB yesterday that it'll go away as soon as the election is over the only reason it's so big is because of the election....

No. December the election will be behind us, flu season will be upon us, and the 3rd wave will decimate us worse than this one is. Because it'll be cold, we'll be inside, Christmas will come and families will get tired of quarantine again and it's the perfect storm for another explosion of cases.
The Segway Is Dead, but Its Technology and Vision Lives On
You as a Developer Should Be Using a CMS
Yeah, if you're not programming your models in binary then gtfo imposters!!

On a more serious note, yes understanding this and anything really takes time and investment. The problem for me at least originally not only with ML but originally with engineering back when I was trying to learn (and couldn't afford school), was finding quality sources for getting started in that process of learning. By providing simplified resources like this google one, the hope is that many beginners can get that one "aha!" moment where they start the basic understanding that allows them to start tinkering and learning.

People without a decent understanding shouldn't be submitting research papers, full on agree there. It's basically a waste of everyone's time and harmful for the field of research as a whole as it dilutes the overall signal to noise ratio. However there's so much space in the ML world that doesn't involve research, not only for fun hobby projects, but also even professionally. Resources like this are critical to reducing the knowledge gap out there between researchers and the programmers in the field that work on little ML projects for doing things like sentiment analysis for their company.

These sub-research projects are mission critical at a lot of companies yet are held up at the majority of non-FAANG companies because there's only one data scientist while the teams of engineers are clueless as to how to assist.
If you want single file components, you should look at the Svelte ( https://svelte.dev/ ). It also compiles the framework away, which is the reason it appears very high on that list when it comes to size.
I think you're confusing cause and effect here...
Usually it's something like you have a sports event you want to see, head to the pub, and you're sort of half watching it on the TV, and there's others around watching the same thing or chatting. If people are talking about something a little ways away from you it's socially acceptable to butt in, more or less. As you spend time in a local, you also get to know the regulars and they'll wind up introducing you to other regulars, etc. Double all this if there's more affiliation going on, like you're all immigrants or ex-pats or whatever, or if you're all lawyers or something.

Letting Your Insurer Ride Shotgun, for a Discounted Rate
But all of these reasons can be summarized as a pursuit of profit. While the surface reasons may differ the ultimate place they end up is the same.
Well yeah, but the parent comment was missing the forest for the trees. The value of using such an app exceeds beyond its ad-blocking features.
It is both possible and being pursued actively. I believe the average user will accept it. The average user has an uncovered camera on the computer and almost everyone has an uncovered camera on the phone. Requiring a cookie banner notification did nothing but make it more annoying to use websites, with less accountability on the site administrator for all the questionable actions they can freely undertake, now with your consent! But it goes far beyond that - there will be cameras embedded in digital billboards/posters you walk past that track your gaze and provide targeted ads based on either facial ID or device ID, the ad effectively learning who you are through your leaky apps or always-on bluetooth.
There's evidence of significant problems in business/management philosophy, as the consensus is that you need to optimize for now, and later is somebody else's problem.

Dead on. I've seen boards of directors ask for fried ice:

Management: We haven't put adequate time into building a sales training program.

Board: Focus only on revenue this quarter. It's the only thing that matters!

Then next quarter:

Board: Why aren't your new sales guys producing?! They need to drive revenue!

Management: Uh... you told us not to spend time on training.
PHP to me is a bit like the new Perl. Sometimes you just need a small script that does one thing well. Took me 10-15 minutes to implement an interface for customer support so they can look up a clients last order based on incoming phone number (via Aircall) or name and surname. FTP'd it to an already existing company server and it just works. And saves them weeks of time over a year probably. Nobody cares that I debugged it via die("error");

With Python I'd be stuck reading the latest tutorial on how to deploy virtualenv properly. Java/Spring I'd die of boredom before I figure out where WebMvcAutoConfigurationAdapter wants me to put Bootstrap css this year. Sometimes you just want a quick solution to an easy problem and move on to other things than coding, and I find PHP fits that use case perfectly.

A list of Lockheed Martin Space projects, headquartered in Denver. None of these are "classified":

NASA's Orion spacecraft

NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) weather satellite series

NASA's MAVEN

NASA's JUNO

NASA's OSIRIS-REx

NASA's InSight

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Space#Civil_Sp...

There are a lot of space/satellite companies in the Denver area, but not many drone companies. As you may know, design of a satellite is different from design of a quadcopter drone. Satellites are launched by rockets, powered by solar panels, and orbit earth. Drones fly in the atmosphere using rotors to move air, controlled by humans on the ground. So it would seem odd to associate satellite-building engineering operations, often completely civil, with clandestine drones.
Sure, divisive topics are political, almost by definition. No argument there.

This point is a factual one though. People's perceptions of skew on HN are massively distorted by cognitive bias, and that includes your perceptions if you think that HN is "made up of primarily right wing users".

Please don't underestimate this phenomenon. It's probably the most significant one that I observe here and it's incredible how reliable it is.

For example: you're reacting to two police-related submissions getting flagged and seeing that as a sign of right-wing users dominating the site. (Actually, I can tell you for certain that some of the users flagging these are left-wing users who must have other reasons for flagging it.) Meanwhile you're not counting the many major threads that HN has had about police brutality in the last couple months. There was one yesterday, in fact: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23860829.

If you look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23624962, you'll find an analysis I did a few weeks ago showing how George Floyd-related topics, including police brutality, were by far the most-discussed topics on HN in the previous month. That's a fact—and yet it doesn't stop people from claiming, not just that the topics are underrepresented (which would already be completely mistaken) but that they are being completely suppressed! ("aggressively removed from discussion", one complaint said.)

That is the bias I'm talking about in action. You simply can't go by what you notice and dislike (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). If you do, you may well end up with a picture that it is the exact opposite of what's really going on here. Needless to say, I'm not talking about you personally, but about all of us.
There's no point in hating a language. A former boss of mine had a saying (which I'm sure he didn't invent, but he definitely lived up to it and I admired him a lot) which was "love the problem, not the tech". He took pride in engaging with any problem to the best of his abilities, regardless of the language. He thought it was pointless to complain about the tech itself; if the tech wasn't suitable maybe it was part of a problem to be tackled rationally, not with hatred.

That said, I'm uncomfortable working with languages which I feel are outdated and get in the way, such as COBOL. You could say I do hate COBOL. I really, really disliked javascript in its infancy; you fought the (lack of) tools and suffered a lot just to achieve something that would have taken you 5 minutes with other languages. This is not the javascript of today, mind you.

One last thing: one should always be wary of the Blub Paradox (one of the best essays by PG in my opinion; I don't particularly like the rest, mind you). People who ignore advances in programming languages tend to look at "their" language, maybe praise its late-coming improvements, and wonder why other people think it's not enough. But it's often not enough indeed, once you learn those other languages...

I've no opinion of PHP because I've never used it.
RiotJS does this too
"Stateless" here meaning that a given process only lives as long as it takes to receive and respond to a single request, as in the classic CGI model (where PHP originated), or like how an AWS Lambda works.

In practice it mainly means that, in exchange for process startup overhead added to your response times, you get to get away with being sloppy about how you initialize and dispose of resources. It's not something I have ever really regarded as a virtue, and it's one reason why PHP devs can have real trouble transitioning to platforms where the same assumption no longer holds.
> They aren’t directly controlled by the government though.

No. They're controlled by multinational corporations with clear profit motives and conflicts of interests and thus tend to be biased in favor of those industries.

In China you have state dominance so you have state controlled media, in the U.S. you have corporate media. That's not independent media, just the other side of the same coin.

And if your argument is "they don't control the army", the military industrial complex means they don't have to do so directly.
A court case is the only way for a judge to privately review the purported evidence and make a determination if that evidence actually exists and was sufficient for the story to go forward (even if ultimately false) or if it was shaky at best or entirely fabricated at worst - otherwise any paper could publish anything based off of "anonymous sources."

I'm all for journalistic freedom and anonymity of sources; I'm not saying they have to unmask their sources but they definitely have to be able to provide - confidentially to a judge or a mutually agreed upon third party - something to substantiate their allegations.
> "Technology people sometimes get this worldview that they are the sun, and the universe revolves around them. Hate to break the news, but no."

I've worked construction and at a manufacturing plant, and tech is a genuinely different business, with a different mindset than other businesses. Yes, they are failing the business, but they are failing the business in a new and interesting way, which is what this post is about.

Tech is the engine that accelerates business. Acceleration used to be slow. If you don't have an engine that accelerates quickly now, and you don't have a HUGE moat, you won't survive.
I'd say Laravel is a younger, clumsier Rails, based on personal experience of Laravel and having casually watched Rails evolve from the sidelines.

I don't think any Python folks would bother to clone it as most of what it does already has better answers in the Python world.

For example, SQLAlchemy is amazing, and I'd never willingly swap it for Laravel's ActiveRecord implementation.

To be clear, I definitely prefer Python to PHP, having worked professionally in both languages (PHP much more often, and currently).
See the svelte and vuejs examples for what you describe.

Make sure you understand what the article is suggesting here, because there's more to it than the headline:

> U.S. homebuilding increased in June by the most in nearly four years amid reports of rising demand for housing in suburbs and rural areas...

> Still, homebuilding remains 24.3% below its February level. The South and the West accounted for about 75% of housing starts last month....

> Demand for housing is being supported by cheaper mortgage rates. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate is at an average of 2.98%, the lowest since 1971, according to data from mortgage finance agency Freddie Mac...

> But a resurgence in new coronavirus infections across the country eroded consumer sentiment in mid-July, other data showed on Friday, threatening the nascent housing and economic recovery. Some areas in virus hot spots in the populous South and West regions have either shut down businesses again or paused reopenings.

This is a good article which talks about a lot of the context here: money is cheap, we started re-opening more in some places, construction picked back up in those places. Even with this things are slower than in the winter, and the current recovery is tenuous due to the increasingly obvious need to put the brakes on reopening plans as the virus continues to spread.
Wow, I'm surprised how many replied and have similar experiences. There are a few things I'd like to add, because I did learn some things in the last 7 years since it started.

- Cognitive-behavioral therapy did not work for me. The thing is, as soon as your heart wants your attention, you're submissive. I talked a lot with psychologists, but it didn't get better.

- Running to the ER and being dismissed with good blood samples helps. But only for a limited time.

- Stress is very bad. Not long ago I had a very arduous business call with a former co-worker and I felt one extrasystole after another. As if my heart would want me to calm down ;)

- SSRI (e.g. Escitaloprame) are really powerful. They did not cure my extrasystoles, but they prevented things like panic attacks. Side effects are note worthy though, you pretty much lose a lot of your sexual energy.

- and if you're into medicine, SSRI may also produce new cardiac problems, such as QT-interval prolongation. It's a vicious circle.

In the end, I think, the heart is much, much more than a muscle. I always hope that someday I'll find a doctor who gives me the answer I'm searching for so long, what exactly is causing all this.
As I understand you have probably never used python or ruby ;) ?
There is class A,B and C real estate. My guess is that demand surges for class A due to solvent buyers and low interest rates, while payments are missed in B and C.

Average percentages usually don't paint an accurate picture.

Or...what could have been done from the beginning. 3-week lockdown to get a grip, then mandatory mask laws (indoor and outdoor) and a reduction in indoor events and large social gatherings. Life and the economy goes on mostly as normal.

I disagree, as both an engineer and a manager.

CSS grid is only recently becoming a reasonable tool to use in practice. I don't think any of the top 1% of front end engineers I know would be able to use CSS grid without looking at the documentation.

Based on experience, the kind of person who would be able to use it from memory either 1) is very skilled AND had a reason to use it recently, or 2) someone of medium skill who just recently read the spec but in almost all other ways is less skilled than the people I mentioned in the first paragraph.
That's funny because institutions can only be modeled as a statistical average of all of the humans who contribute to a given property of the institution.
Some of it is rush to publish. But it's also that most readers here and elsewhere won't pay for subscriptions and will also do their best to avoid even the mediocre monetization provided by digital advertising. It's hard to support investigative reporting and fact checkers.
I think you could argue this is also about money. Disney parks have already won nearly every family in America. Most families would like to take their kids to Disney. Pride month probably only minorly affects that. Now how will Disney Parks keep showing a healthy growth rate? Well, they'll need to tap into new markets. What kind of tactics can they use to lure those new markets to the parks?

I just don't believe altruism or pure evil exists in these large orgs. I'm sure there are exceptions to prove the rule, but it's rare you'll see an action by a large corporation that can't be explained by money and growth.
> It is also to the benefit if creators if they diversify their revenue streams.

Watching content on YouTube while blocking ads does not encourage creators to go to other platforms. You've already consumed their product, thus lessening demand, so there's less reason to put it on another platform. It's not likely you'll go watch it on Vimeo after they upload it there when you've already seen it on YouTube.

Creators may be better off with a donation and merchandise revenue stream. Describing your actions as "benefitting" them by helping them see this by depriving them of revenue from you for their content is a slightly odd take though.
