Also: seek professional help for the depression. CBT works remarkably well. Many of us (me) have been there, or on the edges, and its easy to find somebody to work through the issues with. I can't promise you will get your mojo back, but there is a fundamental truth to "a problem shared is a problem halved" if you pick the right professional person to share it with.

Good luck and don't give up.

Not really related to the article per se but I always find it interesting how one may become tempted to say "this alternative to a thing I already know makes so much sense, why don't we always use it?"

I felt the same way when encountering Chinese numbers via Japanese. If 二 is two, 十 is ten, 四 is four, and twenty-four is 二十四, that's so clear! Two tens and four!

I quickly decided that this number system, though something I'd obviously need to learn and become acquainted with if my Japanese learning were ever to progress, wasn't necessarily as easy as I initially imagined. Yes, there are no places, but numbers in this system are grouped at different boundaries — not every thousand but every ten-thousand.

So 六十七億八千三百一万五千四百二十一 breaks up as sixty-seven hundred-thousands eight-thousand-three-hundred-and-one ten-thousands five-thousand-four-hundred and two-tens-and-one — and obviously, that's not quite how we would represent six-(billion/thousand-million) seven-hundred-and-eighty-three-million fifteen-thousand-four-hundred-and-twenty-one, or rather 6,783,015,421.

I post this not to discuss the positives or negatives on the Chinese number system compared to the Arabic one or vice-versa. Rather, just how one's imagination can be so easily captured by the apparent simplicity of an alternative to that with which one is familiar, almost to the point of wanting to adopt it altogether. The realisation of where things get tricky for oneself, often not coming until quite a bit later, sometimes doesn't come until later.

For myself, I tried using roman numerals for my own math for a long time but stopped when I found division too brain-breaking!
South Korea is very reliant on China for manufacturing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's even more than the US considering the close proximity of China and the lack of natural resources in Korea. It's generally acknowledged by Koreans that the most abundant resource in Korea is human brain power, especially with the high college graduation rate (50%+, versus 30%+ in the US). The stigma of manual labor jobs such as manufacturing and agriculture are very strong, leading to a rapidly aging workforce in those sectors, and this trend, like in many other post-industrial nations, continues to increase.
Even in the web, it doesn't really change as fast as people say. There have been 3 front-end frameworks that actually matter for 6 years. Have there been new backend frameworks constantly coming out? where does this meme come from?

It’s a great movie (though I think they could’ve chosen better actors for a few of the roles). Enjoy it.
As outsiders it's very difficult to tell which aspects of the overall product are due to design differences and which are due to different manufacturing technologies. It's possible both design and manufacturing are better (for AMD/TSMC), but the only one that is obviously true is that the manufacturing is better. We simply would not have a conclusive answer about who has the better designs unless they used the same fab, giving them the same possible feature set. And if they did, I suspect AMD would have a huge advantage from their existing relationship working with TSMC.
In science, as in logic, the onus of proof is on the positive.

Worldometers have been pretty good in providing if not focusing on many of these values. You may have to dig into the display columns selector. Higher-level (country/world) reporting tends to be better and more consistent than regional local, as with most resources.

"Cases / deaths / tests per X people" have been added in the past week or so:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

FT's coronavirus page shows excellent country-level detail with recent trending. As is often the case, business press is better than general news organisations at quantitative presentation, and the small-multiples charts are particularly effective:

https://ft.com/coronavirus-latest

As is almost always the case for complex developing stories, Wikipedia exceeds virtually all conventional news organisations in synthesizing current knowledge. The COVID-19 / SARS-COV-2 pages have become a cluster of excellent information, from overview to detail:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic

Organisation has evolved as well, with per-country stats now having its own page:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country...

For the US, the page now begins with a county-level map showing new cases per 100k population over the preceding 14 days (preseently highly focused on southern states):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_Unite...

State/local pages vary in quality, e.g., Illinois similarly reports prior two weeks cases per 100k, South Carolina only total infections per 100k, again, by county for each:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_South_Car...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Illinois

There is also realtime rt values by US state: https://rt.live

Few news organisations can or will provide useful quantitative or graphical information. Fortunately there are other sources.

Will we be more wealthy if we lose the ability to create the most advanced chips? I think not.

It's not hegemony for the sake of hegemony, but hegemony for the benefits of hegemony, which in our recent history have included technological and economic supremacy, both tightly correlated to one another.

I think globalism can be a good thing, and I hardly oppose the notion of outsourcing some economic activities. However, the original point was regarding ceding our production capabilities for a short term and potentially insignificant improvement in the performance of a single company.

> The US would be a weaker nation if we had to commit a bunch of human capital to textiles.

There is something to be said for balance, taste, and sensibility. Like, it would be cool if we were able to manufacture essential medical PPE during a pandemic. Them be textiles, my friend.

If we are unprepared for a crisis that can gut our economy because we were prioritizing the economy over preparedness... I'm sorry, but that is stupid and short sighted.

Jobs are important. The economy is important. But it's as if all nuance is lost on the GDP-measuring mouth breathers. You want a strong economy? Maintain the hegemony. Be a global leader in many diverse categories.
I think a more likely explanation is that the article is very short, and the assertion in the title is neither novel nor controversial (at least from my read of general sentiment in this forum).

Yes it is pretty difficult, and like I said they limit what phone numbers you can use. It ends up costing more money than just paying for additional storage.
> It's a way to make the best of a bad situation, not a long-term alternative to brick-and-mortar schools.

Agree 100%

> Providing funding for childcare services (from public school budgets) would also be a good idea

There is no money in public school budgets for this. The pandemic hasn't lowered expenses for public schools by any appreciable amount.

> but if we are going to have large-scale child-care services, why not just re-open schools? If the point of closing public schools is to minimize the amount of social contact in order to keep the spread of the disease low, then it necessarily means more parents will need to care for their children at home.

The idea is to provide financial assistance to help low income parents pay for child care when they must leave the home for work, and do so in smaller pods to minimize disease transmission. Parents with high incomes and/or high work flexibility or work from home jobs are already forming these pods and hiring college students as childcare/tutors. Poor families with inflexible work are not able to do this.

These pods are a net increase in cost, since the safety and care function was previously provided by the school facilities and staff has been lost. As you say, it's making the best of a bad situation. The problem is that only people with particular privileges either in job flexibility or income can afford to make the best in the situation.

> Btw, not all homeschooling families are well-educated. Many do it for religious reasons,

I'd argue that from a literacy perspective, a religious home schooling family is better educated than many others even if they don't have secular credentials. The Bible isn't that easy to read, after all.

Another lovely Google feature that lasted for about 10sec. after I discovered it:

Booked a flight, got the receipt through Gmail. Google then auto-populated my calendar with the flights - fine. They also populated it with a hotel reservation, and a link saying I hadn't yet confirmed the reservation for Hilton. I was going to stay with family, w/no intention of staying in a hotel. I couldn't believe the blatant hijacking and spamming involved here from my private info - bad enough if they'd merely spammed a hotel advert for those dates.

Contacted Google, no way to turn it off without turning off the entire feature. Done. Permanently.

I couldn't believe anyone could think this was a good idea.

The distinction between blue and green badges does sorta create very visibly labeled classes at Intel.
(Disclosure, I worked a summer in Hillsboro as a green badge)

It seems much more likely that mismanagement is the problem with Intel, not discontent/classism amongst contractors and the core staff.

Though Intel could maybe cost save if they folded these subcontacted business units directly into it's staffing, it would probably further increase their management load, and might cost more by decreasing competitive bidding for work.

This doesn't seem to be their core problem, but I'm interested in hearing why you think this is an important issue for Intel to change

Toronto had the demonstrator line that saw and continues to see revenue service despite its ancient age. Toronto’s cars were built with a full cab, partly because of pressure from the union, to allow an operator to push the button to close the doors. (1)

The system no longer runs in ATO (automatic train operation) because of ongoing issues around maintaining contact with the mainframe when it snowed.

The whole basis of signaling kind of makes it all moot. If the signal is red, the train stops. If the signal is green, you go through. Their may be yellow signals as well, generally meaning that there is train x signals ahead, proceed at caution (generally reduced speed).

A very large number of accidents are due to the operator failing to follow these very basic signals.

>incredibly varied operating environment

How many variables do you see here?

The absolute safest scenario is likely automated trains with a driver with a red button to stop the train, in case of emergency. After years go by without even having to use the button, even those operators could be removed. We're living in a world where automated driving is starting to overtake automated trains, something that literally exists on rail, and switching is controlled electronically on almost every passenger rail in the western world.

The company I once contracted for once bided for the project. When bids started to close on $100k, solar panels solidly lost to mains powered pumping stations, and the company bailed out of the tender.

I was shocked at the number of classmates I had in mine who had no prior understanding of the ethics involved in software. It was clearest when it came to presentations and things; people would take clearly grey areas and try and present them as black and white (so something like DRM wasn't "it's complicated, and companies should weigh the pros and cons carefully, as at best it will inconvenience their users while only delaying a release, and at worst will lead to the pirates having the best experience, and drive their own customers to third party patches to remove it", it was "it's a necessary evil that all companies should use")

The plug-in hybrid is the non-plug-in hybrid with a bigger battery and an external charger. Before Toyota released their first plug-in model, this was a popular DIY hack.

It's not some exotic technology, it's something that's been on the road for over two decades in its modern incarnation and has roots that extend back to the 19th century.

We're working on this tracing tool as we move things like Page Rules and Rate Limiting into the same engine that runs Firewall Rules. Lots of advantages of using the same Rust-based engine/syntax to let customers express their configuration rules, e.g., adding rule-based alerting and combining different types of filters and actions.

Focus so far in the design process has been how requests get evaluated against a list of Custom and Managed Rules but if you imagine a world in which everything is a rule (incl. routing to/firing a Worker) it becomes tractable to do what you're asking about.

We'll be in discussions with the Workers team about how to best illustrate the handoff to Workers and what happens downstream: cache, origin fetch, etc.

> Will we be more wealthy if we lose the ability to create the most advanced chips? I think not.

The post you're relying to literally says the same thing...

> medical PPE be textiles, my friend.

1. No. "Textiles" is a term of art, and it doesn't include N95 masks or 3 ply surgical masks. Full stop. Might include some basic cloth masks that are equivalent to a ripped-off tshirt sleeve with some elastic bands. But we never had anything approaching a shortage of t-shirts to rip up for cloth face coverings... what we're missing is the stuff with melt-blown layers and/or filters.

2. We do make N95 masks and could have surged production... shortages of the most needed types of masks in the US were due to an utter failure of political leadership, not a lack of manufacturing capacity. E.g., https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/in-the-early-d...

3. The same is true for 3-ply surgical masks. Repurposing a huge number of t-shirt factories would've taken ages and $$$. The difficult part is the melt-blown layer, which is more like N95 or surgical gowns than t-shirts. Not even clear having an existing t-shirt factory would even speed things up much, since, obviously, the barrier isn't "stitching a couple pieces of cloth together". But even if it did, what are the odds on that happening if we couldn't even give a green light on flipping the switch on existing N95 lines in May? Again, leadership problem, not manufacturing capacity problem.

4. All of that aside, this is the sort of thing you solve with strategic stockpiles and planning, not "make everything ourselves and hope to god some of the other lines can be repurposed ASAP" and especially not "constantly maintain manufacturing capacity and raw resource supply chains for every conceivable long-tail event". No. You figure out for each long tail event how long it takes to ramp up production, and then you stockpile for that amount of time.

The rest of the post is sort of _exactly_ demonstrative of the point I was making in my original post about macro analyses being limited and needing to go sector by sector. So I'm really not quite sure what we're arguing about here.

That's the reasoning behind people recommending wooden cutting boards over plastic. Supposedly, bacteria just stick in the little crevices made by every cut in a plastic board and remain there, while they end up dessicated or absorbed by wooden cutting boards.

I think people already have a habit of washing down fresh fruits and vegetables because they're assumed to be dirty to some extent. I think when people eat things from a plastic package, they assume it to be sanitary. Most people probably aren't washing down chip bags before opening them and sticking their hands inside. They probably aren't doing it with wrapped apples either.
