They're not completely the same, but they are competitors, since they also have vast text websites, they're not limited to broadcasting, which makes sense given their desire to expand the tax base and the population's pivot from TV to web.

I find the argument "look at quality of the private sector, we need the public broadcasters" to be generally disingenuous. Private companies will invest where there's a chance to make a profit, having to compete with tax-funded free services makes that much less likely, ergo you won't see a lot of investment. To consider that proof for the necessity of a tax-funded system is like a monopolist claiming that nobody would provide the services if they didn't, knowing full well that it's their abuse of the monopoly that keeps competitors out.
This is exactly what a coordinated Russian disinformation campaign looks like.

I am not going to try to change your mind, but I'll just point out that one of the highlights, in my mind, of the recent JuliaCon was the merging of the Juno and VS Code teams. All IDE development for these teams going forward will be focused VS Code. Have a look at the VS Code presentations available on YouTube.

I'm primarily a back end developer, but comfortable enough with the front end to make sure a web site works with back end code. I have other tools in my belt, but the tech listed is what I'm looking for at this time.

As for what I bring to the table? I pay off tech debt, so I'm probably not the right person for a startup. Breaking down a monolith to a collection of services and stored procedures with rational inheritance/composition as needed, along with documentation and mentoring.

I also research and, where needed, recommend and implement OSS/COTS to get the problems solved. Time is money, and sometimes something not built here is what's needed to get product shipped.

I'm available for contract or direct hire, but due to COVID-19, I'm not going onsite anytime soon.
> Aerosol transmission is the main vector.

By strict definition, aerosol is not airborne. The behaviors converge, but there is a technical difference. It's particularly important when it comes to designing effective filtering material and sanitization processes.
There's last year's model, the 4, with two storage options and it comes in big and less-big.

There's a cheap new 4a model, with two radio options and less-big is the only size.

There's an unspecified 5 which is an update to the 4.

What's messy about that? Is there a phone manufacturer who makes fewer models than Google in 2020?
Starchitects who can get parametric designs built for $$$ are outliers, and considering how these buildings have failed to perform in real life, computation is a enabling a lot of bad designs. I know ppl that that interned at Hadid 15 years ago, they mostly just used Rhino / Maya and dodgy exports to cad for construction drawings. The real software dependency is all the structural analysis behind the scene to optimize design for costs, the former can be negated via expensive overengineering, so the latter is ultimately what makes these designs buildable in market economies.
> but it's unwise to trust people who consistently advise one behavior but do another themselves.

Well, clergymen haven't been strangers to that kind of inconsistency throughout history. Luckily it's been relegated to gossip tabloids in modern society.
Perhaps. The bigger point was, getting Apple to spend the money here in the US has far more benefits than holding out for an inconsequential amount of one-time tax revenue.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face, sort of thing.

Oh wow, this looks way different. I honestly liked the previous version more to be honest: I guess it was Verdana or similar on my mobile phone.

Granted that I'm not dyslexic: this version seems way more difficult to read, other than looking bad :(
Your conspiracy theory is a conspiracy fact when you think about peoples motivations.

Take the current virus. We realize that the republican version of 'it's a hoax and everything is fine' is a lie. But so is the democrat version of 'you need to never leave your house or you're a murderer'.

The simple fact is that without having solid numbers for:

1). The true infection rate.

2). The true age-adjusted mortality rate.

3). The asymptomatic r0 rate.

Any policy anyone suggests tells you more about the person suggesting it than about how effective it will be. It could be that reality is closer to the republican version, or the democrat one. But without a lot more science that no one is doing we will not know until decades down the line when people start digging up corpses and testing for the virus and finally doing some basic statistics.

And that's before we even look at what the economic impact is of the virus.

Most common problem: operator error. Are you reading the temperature correctly? Tip, it should not be read directly from the middle of the forehead https://www.seattlechildrens.org/conditions/a-z/fever-how-to...

If the temperature reads anything lower than 36C, you're doing it wrong and it's very easy for people to get a non-medical IR thermometer, start pointing at people and "checking temperatures"

> In what New Relic executives described as adjusting to a “sea change” in open source adoption

Am I missing something or did this statement strike anyone else as wildly bizarre?

I feel like open source has been the default for the client side agents and libraries of SaaS products for 10 years. Microsoft, once the strongest opponent of open source, changed its tune like 5+ years ago. What could possibly be the “sea change” this executive is referring to?
There isn't any standard C++ ABI but there is a de-facto standard ABI that many compiler writers have agreed upon (icc, clang, gcc), funny enough it was developed for Itanium originally: https://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi.html
Then a Factual facts based reporting would be something like

"Today there were protests, and during those protests these things occurred, we do not yet know if the people committing these terrible acts where part of the protest or not"

Instead we get

"During mostly peaceful protests everyone sat in a circle chanting defund the police" while in the background we see buildings on fire
Why doesn't it cache the results of a compilation automatically the first time you hit the module after any change? This shouldn't be difficult. Much of Julia's target audience don't know what "AOT" is.

My house was broken into with the high tech method of a rock through the sidelight window, right on top of the ADT sticker; so much for that theory. This occurred @ 10am on a weekday when we were out for less than an hour too.

We added (real!) cameras after this and for the next 2 years freaked out every time an alert hit our phones. Now there are so many false positives that it's conditioned us to be less uptight.

My sister has a monitored alarm where I'm a secondary contact. On a recent alarm they phoned my to ask if I wanted them to call the cops. As I'm (at least) second in line this had to take at least 15 minutes since the alarm, plus the police response time (tip: minor property crime is not a priority for police). The burglars were long gone by the time anyone got there.

So my point is it's largely security theatre, like airport security. It makes you feel better I guess but does nothing.
Thanks for sharing that Tiffany.

This has been the way I've worked for decades.

I've found that stuff gets done, once it becomes habit. It doesn't always become enjoyable, or even effortless, but it does get done.

There's a saying: "Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise."

I usually have the second part down by 7AM. The first is not always guaranteed, each day, but I pull it off, every now and then.

Getting Things Done has been my pattern since I was eighteen years old.

This being HN, I have also learned to "think less" while coding. I've established coding habits; often with the help of LINTers[0], and now produce a lot of good code, at a blistering pace. My designs are almost fluid; often reconfiguring in the middle of implementation, as I take a "JIT" approach to design[1]. That's not something that can be taught. It only comes with a great deal of experience.

In my experience, the less thought I have to give stuff, the better.

If you make it too hard for customers to feel well-informed about your devices, all but the most casual buyers will simply avoid your brand. Sales and revenue prove this out, Apple is on the verge of bankruptcy... what?

All of that is ignoring that literally every other android handset maker has dozens of phones on the market.
Not 100% sure, just know through a few friends that it seems very shameful for both parties involves.

Also, parents invest a lot in their child's marriage, e.g. downpayment for a house, car, etc, for their child (singular!), so that adds even more pressure to "make things work".

We are looking for help through the end of the election.

We were/are hiring full time staff but at this point it's more likely a short term contract or just freelance.

We need help with:

Video editing and basic motion graphics. A lot of taking 30s broadcast spots and making them fit digital first formats. Creating short videos with found or stock footage and graphics we make in house (e.g. videos to raise money)

Ad trafficking. Mostly FB but help with programmatic (experience with a DSP) is helpful too. My email is in my profile.
Why is America stuck with bad headlights?
It's very possible that the math works out to be , but I disagree that the value of "disabling news searches in Australia" is tightly captured in a database. It's going to require some non-trivial modeling of the effect of removing news on the habits of Australian searchers, and how that may affect commercial queries: it's a very non-trivial part of most people's usage of Google.

Some relevant things to consider:

1) The Australian market provides Google about ~$5B/yr in revenue, so a 20% revenue loss would be required

2) The global PR impact of disabling news searches, even in a local market

3) The future costs of setting the precedent of giving in to rent-seeking mafia tactics from a specific government; if they think it's likely to embolden other governments to do the same thing, it may be worth drawing a bright line despite the revenue costs

No one flagged that comment. It was affected by a software filter. Users vouched for it, which unkilled it.
This is the main complaint with friends of mine. They get up to date on C++ whatever. Then spend a couple of years writing code in another language. And when they come back to C++ it's now C++ whatever + n and they're like WAT is this language?

That generally does not happen with other languages.

I'm interested in junior level work that can take advantage of my experience in Python, SQL, and/or Business Intelligence. Having worked in the higher education industry and the eCommerce industry, I bring with me a strong marketing sense, and a decent understanding of how technology and business collaborate. I pride myself as a hard worker and a perpetual learner.
It would be really interesting to see a "post mortem" of sorts for a site that suddenly dropped off the first page of search engines. It would describe:

What were we doing before?

What happened? (if we know)

What did we do to fix it?
He does talk too much, but in this instance it was already so plain that it does not change anything.
This, it is amazing how long small particles linger. It’s like looking in a sun beam and seeing floating fibers near the couch.

A very fun experiment to show children is to use a green laser pointer near a carpet floor so it is floating across the floor a couple inches.

Then have the children hit the carpet around the beam and the beam will suddenly appear as the light scatters from the micron-sized dust particles. You can see how long it takes them to resettle, and point the laser anywhere to count a crude interaction/second with the light beam to get a sense of how dirty the air is (laser light volume is quite small :))
Julia is fast but not faster and very memory hungry. If you care about squeezing every bit of performance you generally go to C++. If you too lazy for C++ you go D.
Hence to me, Julia is an odd tool. Interesting but more as a language with some cool scientific libs that Python might not yet have.
From what I understand a considerable amount of the weight savings for H2 is lost when you add in the mass of the fuel tanks and piping.

The other problem is that the reduction in wing area needed (due to lower weight) is offset by the increase in drag of the fuselage so the savings are modest if they even materialize.
>I think market evidence points to the contrary. The Raspberry Pi is a fully fledged Linux Desktop, it's running and marketed with full fledged desktop software. Last I checked 25 million units have been sold.

That's a statistical error level compared to the number of PCs in the world.

And even the premise is wrong. The "Raspberry Pi" is not bought as a "fully fledged Linux Desktop" (whether it's marketed as such or not), but used mostly for special utility purposes, from automation and DIY experiments to multimedia servers and such...

Even if you add all Linux desktop machines, it's like 2% or something...
Well my insurance company offers a minor discount if you have an alarm, so that's about as emperical as it gets. From their perspective you're ~ 2% less likely to have a significant claim with an alarm vs. without

Yeah but the big thing with iPhones is that they run the iOS operating system. Some people seem to think it's good, but almost all my friends (a mix of tech and non-tech people, mostly working or middle class) prefer Android. As do I.

So given that iPhones are not a serious option, this phone seems like the best that exists.

In China, one negative remark about the government may get you a visit from the police and a stern talking-to. A history of such remarks may get you interrogated or fined. For extreme violators you may not be allowed on social media at all, and you may lose your job.

In America, one politically incorrect mark may get you not allowed on social media at all, right from the start. It may also lead to your immediate termination from your job, if your single remark attracts any attention whatsoever online. You may be de-platformed. You may be sued. Your bank may decide to close your account. And the people are angry. They want to punish thought criminals. If you think the Bad Thoughts, you deserve everything you have coming to you.

In China, the government is remote, people are generally happy with the job it's doing, and no one wants to criticize it. So the rule of "don't criticize the government" is not a burdensome one, and (aside from a few vocal minorities at the fringes of society) people don't care.

Yet in America, the smorgasbord of people and thoughts you are not permitted to criticize are around you 24/7. They are pushed continually in the media you consume (for "representation"), promoted as heroes and "brave", and if you disagree with any of this, at all, you had better hold your tongue about it.

One of these countries deeply and heavily oppresses its populace, with continual threats of job loss, social ostracization, and suspicion about whom around you might be an informant, a political extremist or opportunist who will report your Bad Thoughts on the nearest social media platform and seek your immediate and total ruination.

The other country does no such thing, and the idea that you would have to live in a state of perpetually policing your thoughts to not get fired or ostracized seems bizarre and paranoid when you relate it to its people.

I'll let you guess which country is which.

> If you're hospitalized with cold/flu, your care team will observe droplet precautions, not aerosol ones.

From my understanding, part of this is because most hospitals don't have aerosol specific precautions. Pre-COVID, anything requiring more than droplet precautions was simply handled with full-airborne precautions (negative pressure room, PAPR, etc).

Ideally, we'd have the airborne-precaution PPE for all COVID care but that's extremely expensive and leadership (hospital and gov't) have become aware that healthcare workers will still show up to work even without proper protection.
