>That "Cloud Kitchens" enterprise is a dystopian horror show, too. It means that Kalanick and the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund own the first part of restaurant take-out -- the menu and online ordering; they own the third part -- delivery; and now they also own the second part -- actually making the food. The "restaurant", at that point, is just a brand logo. Their sweatshops make the same food for everybody and paste whatever name on it. The restaurant isn't even a franchise at that point. It's a sticker.
At my place of work we probably wouldn’t follow this simply because we don’t love the design of Google’s products
Netlify simply adds an abstraction layer over a task which I don't want to be performed __AT_ALL__. I don't care if I'm doing it myself or someone else is on a server somewhere on my behalf. It is utterly stupid to have all that to serve a static file.
Like clockwork, every decade or so, someone says "Hey, we haven't looked at attachment theory in a while! We can get a few pubs and a book out of it.". A bunch of studies later, we see the repeat of all the previous findings: inconclusive, some interesting patterns, nothing super repeatable with strong effects.

It's fine to revisit and revise past theory work. It's just surprising that after 70 years, this theory that should explain so much, after scrutiny, just... doesn't.

Looking forward to the latest revisions to see how to apply attachment patterns to our modern world. I have popcorn in hand.
It also means that the test fails at detecting cancer more often than not, and will mean that if it detects a true cancer this time doctors will be inclined to not take it seriously because evidence/experience is that the test is useless
For some more context to the numbers Germany had at it's peak ~300 deaths a day, it had 5 deaths on the 20th (83M people).
this is very cool! I have been reading about ml for a couple of years but have never played with it before. Really appreciate it! Shared with friends and family too :)

For an experienced user the keyboard is superfluous and only useful because it has an integrated fingerprint reader for the 2FA - so you don't have to faff around with their flaky "b-unit" hardware token.

Well that would depend on what the target of the DDOS is wouldn’t it? Either way the point being we want companies out of politics. They have no business in them.
Energy density is just part of the equation. EV's also can use regenerative braking and recharge when going downhill. That's how Tesla's achieve their mileage. Electric engines are substantially more compact and lighter than similarly powered ICE's, giving more mass and volume budget to add extra batteries.

In the specific case of trucks, in most places you can't demand a driver to do a 2000 mile leg on a single stretch and, with the required pause to rest, it's also easy to recharge. A limit of 700 miles should be considered a reasonable target for truck range on a single charge.

Airplanes are probably the place where internal combustion (or not quite internal, but still combustion, as turboprop and jets are not ICE's) will have a significant share for a long time. Even there, short haul small planes are already electrifying.
Lockdown has its own issues, economic and psychology / mental health.

Plus, some types of death are an economic boon because they:

a) cause economic churn and the associated fees, charges, and taxes

b) free up resources that were tied up with non-producers
Could you provide more information on this boycott? I'm not sure I've heard of it before now.
This is a systematic problem when you use tor.

I would really like a journalist to investigate this, by the way. The goal of a captcha is to prove you're human. What is the goal of 10 captcha in a row?

I can make two hypothesis:

1. it's meant to discourage humans from using privacy preserving tools like tor, so it would be basically an agressive action to prevent them to access the content and force them to abandon their privacy tools

2. it could be a mean to identify the user by doing behavioral fingerprinting, by checking their movement speed, time of pattern recognition, etc, based on multiple inputs.

I can't think of a case where such practice is not malicious and would not require scrutiny.
This has been a entertaining conversation to read, I also didn't get the sarcasm immediately, it's quite close to what actually might be happening.
747s are still used for cargo. I saw one fly over my head just yesterday.
Great article. I spend a lot of my time writing design docs these days. We derive a ton of value from it.

The projects I work on are typically collaborations with several developers. It is important to all have the same vision for what we are building. A good design doc is a vehicle for a team to sync their mental models of the thing they are building.

We also often have many other teams (security, infrastructure, operations, other business units, etc) who all have a stake in what we are doing. A good design doc helps build consensus with them. The review process gives them a voice in calling out concerns. It is much easier to solve a foundational problem before any code is written.

One addition that isn't explicitly called out by the article, but I have found very valuable, is the inclusion of references. In my experience, good design docs typically include some references. Links to the docs for a piece of software we want to use, links to an AWS blog post explaining part of the architecture we want to use, links to academic papers explaining the algorithms we want to implement, etc. Good references support the design doc and help readers fill in knowledge gaps they may have.
But maybe Sweden is done having excess mortality where other countries still have a ways to go?
An Environmental Appraisal of “Haunted Houses”: An Overview of the Last 20 Years
It's not clear how Sweden's strategy is working compared to other Nordic countries. Norway has at the time of writing 255 deaths, Sweden 5646, and 19 vs 769 new cases today.[1][2] Norwegians are more or less back to normal life. Economically, Sweden did far worse than Norway as of 25. of June, with 25% more bankruptcies than previous year - same period - vs only 6.5% increase in Norway.[3]

>Your hypothetical includes every illness and thus, cancer.

I think there's a quantifier scope error here. I was saying "you don't want to see everything on the list", i.e. "it's not the case that for all x, you want to see x". You seem to be reading this as "For all x, you don't want to see x". Whatever the right answer is for specific cases (such as prostate cancer), I'm certainly not saying that all testing or screening is pointless.

The paper you link to has a grand total of two citations listed on Google Scholar.
You can't quite compare countries like that and claim that Sweden would have had the same rate as the other. The world is full of examples where neighboring countries have radically different caseloads. I don't know enough to meaningfully discuss the details but I suspect you can't just claim Norway is the same as Sweden.

What is most remarkable is the trajectory the epidemic took within Sweden. No comparison is necessary to another country. That they have achieved a substantial reduction of their caseload without any of the invasive measures. Nobody would have ever believed that to be possible!

Other countries should learn from Sweden rather than being in denial - it demonstrates that other measures can be just as effective, and we need to understand how that was possible and whether the measures are transferable.
For Norway that number is 58%

The routine is different. You fill the tank, then park and get lunch. If you recharge while parked, the recharge time should approximate the duration of your lunch stop. Abundance of chargers may remove the urge to take the car out of the recharger before you finish lunch.
True, deleting by value does not seem to be possible. I can see how that would be painful if it's necessary for your use case.
But what if you are like most people and trust doctors to do the right thing and they convince you that unless you treat you'll die. You go along and the doctors damage you. This just happened to a mentor of mine (67 y.o.) with a PSA test followed by radiation that fried his nerves and did nothing for the cancer which he might have lived with for the rest of his life (his father died of prostate cancer at 97). In this case the "cure" was much worse than the disease and the early detection led to the almost fatal result.
The UK is not passing itself off as a democracy?

Also the House of Common's isn't really democratic in any meaningful sense of the word. It took 886,400 votes to get 1 Green MP but only 25,900 votes per SNP MP. Similarly 38,300 per Conservative MP to 336,000 per LibDem MP. That's an order of magnitude difference between votes to power.
Except again, at the time when this happened everyone raised their prices so that even a single 747 was more than 1/2 price of the antonov. In normal conditions, absolutely, but at the time the demand was at the peak time high. I still think it was a stunt more than anything, but not because of the airplane.
Don't other people who recommended other approaches have the same biases? Politicians and scientists alike
You speak like the pandemic is over. We don't know yet. If it turns out that countries now lifting their lockdown will catch up I think Sweden's strategy was the correct one. No lockdown, no overwhelmed hospitals, currently no excess mortality and the least impact on the economy: https://markets.businessinsider.com/amp/news/sweden-coronavi...
> I know Sweden is used to being the smartest country in the room

Sweden being "smarter" than other countries is just a common American trope. For some reasons Scandinavian countries are misrepresented all the time by US politicians and media trying to make a point.

Doesn't that add to the point that sometimes literal definitions are better than symbolic? Either you have a symbol that says "this is a neighbourhood" or you have the symbolic definition of neighbourhood (which is missing in my symbolic definition of the space, btw, I just noticed) and then you force the reader to identify those symbols and say "oh, this is a neighbourhood". The former is the same issue as in English, and the latter adds unnecessary complexity (no people reading about Hausdorff spaces will be unfamiliar with the concept of a neighbourhood of a point).
As others have said, this is great! A simple but very useful idea and a great execution. Thank you for not making it an amalgamation of heavy javascript frameworks.
His persona is his first and middle name, and he's posted his profession, place of residence on the blog and attented public events, even posted pictures of himself and organised real world SSC meetups. So you'll have to explain to me how his goal was to separate those identities.

Hell he is explicitly blogging as a psychiatrist, which is his actual identity.

If he wanted to keep them separate it would have been trivial to keep them separate. He never chose to do that. He even blogged about his patients.
Fair enough. The American left worships Sweden.

Does falling death rates really indicate widespread immunity? I'd like to see the randomized immunology tests to back that up (maybe he has them, but this article doesn't indicate it). I haven't heard of anywhere near herd-immunity levels yet.
Can't you say the same about banks and finance? Hospitals and medical tech? Software in say, cars, aircraft, ships? If anything, even more so?

I could be naive, but what is the most societal impact that could happen if say, Instagram goes down or gets a major bug? Or if something went wrong at Netflix?

Vs. software going wrong at a major bank or on an airliner?
But if their economy did worse than their neighbour, what was the point of avoiding invasive measures? They have more deaths, more cases, and worse economic output, what exactly is successful here?
Can it even be taught?
In comparison to their neighbours they have a vastly higher death rate and their economy has not done any better, despite their lighter lockdown.

So unless this person is claiming that no further infections would occur if Sweden would stop all containment measures and go back to life as usual I don't see how this could be called "working" in any sense of the word.
it says: "decline in new critical COVID-19 cases alongside slowing death rates"
We love the idea of layering in rich information to help donors make informed decisions! We just want to be really thoughtful about the experience. So we plan to get there, it just may take us some time.
This article and comments would read the same in the 80s about Benetton and 90s about the Gap. By being vague about identity, they got extra runway but then got greedy and flamed out. Let's hope uniqlo can manage to escape the patterns of history.

Citation please, because there is a lot of peer reviewed literature that claims the exact opposite. One place to start with that literature would be Bowlby.

> but the predictive value was not good

My understanding is that there is some dependency on the type of cancer, but mostly it depends on your immune system response. Doctors are pretty clear that just having a cold can affect the numbers.
Do you also consider it a peculiarity that all failures of the federal government are attributed to the president?

Example: "Trump sent militia to Portland to put protesters into unmarked vans.".

Or is this attribution a worry only when something good happens?
There is absolutely no reason to make such handwavy statements. Immunity can be measured, and he is the one who can measure it. this is soo unscientific

How can you possibly predict the future that way? Why would Sweden be done and not the other countries?
Your comment regarding your intellect and the conscious part of your mind only controlling about 20% - 30% of you is super interesting. I'd love to hear more specifically what made you come to that conclusion, as I've experienced a similar insight. Mine came from an overdose of marijuana ironically enough, but it gave me just enough perception of the feeling of two minds. I don't think I'll ever forget that experience.
Don't Work, Ship
You've just shifted the goalpost here. You asked how to control who's the head of the Comission not how to initiate legislation.

But since you asked look at how little power a British MP has to get a private member's bill through to a vote. In actual fact the only private member's bills that get a vote let alone pass are those with government support.
Even with billions of people on the planet, a virus like this doesn't spread evenly, even on a large scale. You always have pockets of infection caused by chance and opportunity.

So regardless of the viability of the strategy, the numbers can look different. We could discuss which country did best, but I doubt it would lead to anything constructive.

Of course a bad strategy can make it worse and I think Sweden was too naive with this, but you cannot really say which country had the best policies.
> Would having 6000 false positives be okay for being able to find the 1000 true positives?

I’d say no. That’s 5000 people who are told they might have cancer while in fact they don’t and who will then undergo further testing that is at best traumatic and at worst extremely invasive if not outright damaging.

Take intestinal cancer, for example. You can get screened for that and if you screen positive, they will take a biopsy - a fairly unpleasant and not entirely risk free procedure. Then it gets worse. If the biopsy shows some part of your intestines isn’t quite in order (a likely outcome, though not necessarily one that indicates cancer) they will take out that bit of intestine, just to be safe. This is a very invasive procedure and because it’s your intestines we’re talking about, you digestive system will be seriously out of whack for a while - if it ever heals completely - seriously and significantly degrading your quality of life. All this for a, let’s use your figures, 1 in 6 chance that you might have had cancer.
> Navigating organisations and achieving consensus between a lot of teams/technologies is a huge part of it

I think this is a major benefit of design docs - they are a way to extend your engineering influence beyond your own individual output. If you write a design, and your design allows you and three other engineers to coordinate your efforts, then your engineering output is now "I coordinated a team to build something that any of us couldn't have written individually."

This dovetails nicely with your next point - uncovering blockers as early as possible is critical when coordinating a bunch of entities. Project plans are usually written on the assumption that every task will succeed, but there may be extra tasks added. If a task cannot be completed / you need to redesign something / etc, this will suddenly bring the work of N engineers to a halt. The earlier you successfully split the work into a series of known unknowns and implementation tasks, the better the project will go in general.
It sounds like a twisted timeline version of the 1960s Japanese metabolism city planning movement. https://thetokyofiles.com/2011/12/15/not-like-a-cancer-grows...
Excited to find out about the project. I regularly use MusicBrainz but didn't know about the sister projects.

I'll definitely be creating a ListenBrainz account. As a long time last.fm user I occasionally worry about the future of the platform. (There have been long stretches of time where it seems to have been in maintenance mode). You seem to support bulk importing last.fm data right?
Have you looked at Hasura (hasura.io)? Allows you to carefully expose your database as an API, while allowing you to build serverless endpoints for validation, business logic and side effects. Bakes in authorization as a first class concern. There are some other similar alternatives that do much the same.

Think it's a mistake to consider GraphQL as a drop-in replacement for REST, writing a vanilla GraphQL server is indeed quite arduous as there is a lot of important concerns like auth that you don't get out the box.

But if you're just wanting to expose your database in a controlled and secure manner, with a smattering of business logic, think some of the technologies that have evolved around GraphQL like Hasura and PostGraphile can make it a joy to use.

Think the wonder is that the schema definition language/schema introspection wasn't just tacked on at the end (unlike REST w/ Swagger and OpenAPI) so all these tools have developed around the tech. There is also a bit less of an object relational mismatch than in REST.
Attachment theory has been extensively researched. I’m all for alternative views - and entirely agree that early peers are significant; however, there are some fairly regular, predictable, and significant outcomes that come from parent-child relationships. I don’t think it can be so easily dismissed.
Yeah, this sounds like an assertion that is entirely based on wishful thinking rather than evidence. Don't get me wrong, it might be true -- but you really need to provide some evidence if you're going to make claims like that.

Writing helps me to "codify" things.

I've been developing software so long, that my process has become "instinctual." I actually have a hard time explaining it to people on demand.

So I started to write about it[0].

Turns out, there's a heck of a lot of detail in my personal process, and, when I write it out, that detail (and the structure), reveals itself.

Basically, I don't particularly care whether or not anyone actually reads what I write, but the act of writing has helped me to "name" my structure.

Once I can find its name, I control it.

> You'll always lose on one of the other.

Absolutely agree and the open source alternatives tend to do one or two things only (while HoT, DGXL etc seem to offer a lot more in a single package), so for me, it came down to deciding what exactly do I need and if I need something else, maybe I need to use a different one for that.

> I have to make sure that in my marketing

I don't think you need to do too much over what you already have. Maybe put a bit more emphasis on why the "Reliable" part matters. The little blurb on your page about not messing up the DOM isn't really selling it to me, I just looked at it and thought "yeah ok whatever", but this and performance seem to be two of your main distinguishing factors, so I'd lean on them more. Focus on what makes DGXL special. That's just me though.

> Anyway, you're always welcome to use the free version.

I may give it a try. For my main use case, I think the branding is a bit too in-your-face (it would look out of place inside the rest of my web app -- maybe you can provide multiple styles to pick from, just thinking out loud), but overall it looks great so its definitely getting bookmarked.

In any case, great work!

Side note: I can only find this single reference to that backstory. Seems we are pretty close to losing a lot of history.
Of course. When we evaluate the efficacy of a strategy, maybe we shouldn't just repeat what the author of that strategy says. This is a place where we can look at data and draw conclusions rather than just become a mouthpiece for someone.
I have spoken with several top BSNL authorities. Systematic hurdles are being thrown at them from performing even routine tasks necessary to maintain telecom infrastructure.

e.g. Roads cannot be dug up by BSNL for repairing their telephone lines, where as Reliance can. If they indeed proceed to dig up the road, they are threatened with a police case. In several cities, only Reliance have permission to dig the roads for new telephone/broadband lines.

In HAL, future Aircraft/Helicopter productions were halted after the Rafael deal was signed up with Jr. Ambani's Reliance. But when the whistleblower letter from PMO hit the roof, supreme court was involved, some HAL old projects were given permission to continue to not raise suspicion. But still, many in HAL beleive it's done for and only companies in nexus with BJP with no prior experience will manufacture military Aircraft in the future(This was before the China fiasco).
The idea is that you can select the exact data fields you need for your UI. In a traditional REST-like response, say for a User model, you may receive all data (within authorization limits) about the user in the response when all you needed was the first_name field. With GraphQL you would just receive first_name without the rest of the unneeded fields, thus reducing the amount of data sent.
