Virtual threads' schedulers aren't in the VM. They're written in Java and are pluggable. But the answer to your question is yes, it's possible -- and not too hard, even -- but I don't know how much it would help.
One option is to enforce some standards for trade - no slave labor, limit number of hours worked, environment protections etc. Thus way we all are playing by the same rules. This won’t be easy to implement - most western democracies can be corrupted by money and influence and CCP can easily buy with money.
I’m not OP, but in a similar situation and our problem isn’t that we can’t get to each other, it’s the quarantine requirements on either side. What used to be a quick weekend trip now means 4 weeks of quarantine.
Would you elaborate why?

It came across to me as a pretty good idea. To write this well requires a certain degree of introspection, and it allows co-workers to gain an understanding of how you work.

This seems like the bigger problem. Calling the cops shouldn’t be dangerous.

It seems to me that if cops were better behaved a feature that automatically calls them when you might need help would be fantastic.

Imagine if Google could detect that you’re alone and choking or having a medical emergency. Woule be cool if it could get you help.
> cow milk is perfectly fine to drink for a good percentage of people

There's no debating that milk is heavy to digest, more so than water infused with whatever you want (tea, rice, soy, oat, almond...), whatever your ancestry. You actually need some enzyme to cut it down so that you can metabolize it. This process doesn't exist for infused water.

> The solution then is to just not drink milk, not substitute it with oat-canola slurry.

No, you can buy very fine "vegetable milks", just not oatly. I don't have any experience in US but in every west-european supermarket you can find heaps of them in the organic section. And if you wanna argue about the price: just make it yourself, it's dirt-cheap, just buy bulk cereals/beans (oat, soy, rice, chickpea ... be creative it works with mostly anything), boil it in water, mix it and drain it. Ta-Da, you just got pure vegetable milk for pennies and as bonus heaps of dry draining residue you can use as wheat replacement in cakes or croquettes (or used as semolina).
Corporations are supposed to be easy-come, easy-go; the fact that it's easy to start new businesses should mean that if there's genuine need for a business then it's easy for a replacement to start. I wouldn't be surprised if e.g. a lot of bankrupt restaurants start operating again with the same kitchen and most of the same staff, because there's no reason for whoever ends up owning the place to do anything different (unless there's a long-term shift in people's behaviour - in which case we don't want the restaurants to re-open). So I think the main thing is to make sure it really is easy for replacement businesses to open (i.e. avoid situations like new businesses requiring a difficult license, or zoning that grandfathers in existing businesses but wouldn't allow similar new businesses), and to avoid having communities dominated by a small number of big companies (which mainly means not having the kind of tax loopholes that give big businesses advantages over small ones). Ultimately the losses have to be borne somewhere, and it's better that they fall on business owners and equity investors (who knew the risks they were taking) than anywhere else, even if spreading them out among taxpayers makes it looks like no-one would notice.
I find it’s easier to mentally parse typos than it is to parse the wrong autocorrect word.
A Google spokesperson told Protocol that the feature was accidentally enabled for some users through a recent software update and has since been rolled back.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this from your interpretation. It helped me understand more about jobs is large organizations I never though of before.
The article completely hand waves cows milk as fine while references weak studies for damages of oatly.

Oatly or cows milk can be part of a perfectly healthy diet provided use in moderation. If you’re having 3, 12+oz lattes maybe you should consider not doing that.

Compact summaries are useful when revisiting something that was learnt before. Such a document might be more useful for mathematics than most subjects, since many have studied maths but stopped using it, and those teachings are generally still true and relevant.

The doc would be at least 20 % more useful to me if the pdf had a table of contents. Should be easy to include assuming that it was written with latex. Opinion: when writing a lengthy latex document, the extra 0.5 % of work required to add automated pdf metadata (table of contents, clickable references) has outsized usability effects.

I stumbled upon typos:

* "Basel problem formula": pi should be squared.

* The "more general" statement related to Bayes theorem lacks a right parenthesis.

No, being refused service at a restaurant even though you never left the country you are residing in is xenophobia.
The story describes a bureaucracy -- an organization of people averse of risk and therefore irresponsible: they did everything to be able to say "it is not my fault". They didn't tried to find a way to stop attacks.

Big bosses were paralyzed by the threat of becoming responsible for a coming failure, and were unable to think straight. They didn't even try to think about avoiding failure. They though about keeping themselves away from risk of becoming responsible of failure. Completely incompetent people.

The story with FBI shows that she did try to solve the problem, and that she took the risk of million years in a jail.

> this just seems distasteful, on top of the confusing writing

I agree, it is confusing. It is not enough to read the article, one needs to stop after reading and think. It took to me five minutes to understand. The title is the most confusing thing: it meant to be a generalized question from an average person, not a question the author asks about her boss, but it is not obvious.

> case in point being Cobol, there is a proverbial tonne of it being maintained only by software engineers

I don't think COBOL is a good comparator. Although COBOL uses 'English' words, it has massively idiosyncratic programme structure (data division! [0]) and weird data structures (PICTURE clause! [1]), and it was these that made it hard to understand and maintain without a very steep learning curve.

Source: I had a language trajectory that went Pascal -> COBOL -> C -> Hypercard. I was stunned by how rapidly I could create impressive Hypercard applications, with quite sophisticated (for the time) UI and graphics. This was invaluable in the group I worked in, a research group in a large UK engineering company in the early '90s.

There's a reason why a lot of programming language papers use formal math notation, because it's a lot more concise to express the entire typing rules of your language in a dozen or so inference rules rather than a more convoluted implementation.[0]

Formulog looks like it could potentially replace that math notation for something as rigorous yet executable.

On the other hand, denotational semantics are usually straightforward enough to be implemented by reading off the math. As an example, it was quite easy for me to translate Scheme's semantics to code.[1]

I hope it gets reimplemented in a functional language as well, Formulog's current implementation is in Java[2] which might not be ideal for reducing implementation bugs.

Ask HN: What tools should I build for individual investors?
My background is in hedge funds but I've always liked building things on the side. I recently started managing my own money in stocks. Along the way, I've been creating tools useful to my research process.

Here's what I'm currently building:

- automated one-page summaries of individual companies financials and what they do — see up to 20 yrs of historical data and all 3 financial statements on 1 page, to make it easier to "skim" an investment before committing to further research.

- a specialised search engine for investors — easily search through professional investor letters to find out if an investor has discussed a stock you're interested in (built), thinking of expanding this to cover a set of professional investor blogs as well.

Other than my own tools, I'm a big user of whalewisdom and the valueinvestorsclub.

I'd like to create a subscription bundle at a retail price point (say $10/mo), and keep adding tools to the bundle at that fixed price. What I've built so far can be found at https://snowballing.co.

The one thing I'd change there is to delete the word "new" from the last sentence.

There are all sorts of foods that are terrible from a health perspective, but get grandfathered into a culture because they became popular before science really caught on. If you're closely analyzing the biochemistry of oatly or soy milk or whatever, and finger-wagging at others for drinking them, but still drink beer on a regular basis, you may be engaging in premature optimization.

Or, just looking at sugars: A serving of Oatly does contain 7g of sugar. The same amount of whole milk contains 13. You don't notice it because lactose tastes less sweet than many other sugars, but it's still a pretty generous dose of calories in the form of simple carbohydrates. I can't personally make the glycemic index comparison, because, while I can guess, I have no actual idea what the glycemic index of two tablespoons of lactose would be. Or even if measuring that would tell you anything about the glycemic index of a complex foodstuff that happens to contain that much lactose. I suspect you can't actually directly infer the one from the other, so, unlike the author of TFA, I think I might choose to proceed with caution there.

As far as what to consume: The messaging out there is remarkably consistent, as long as you tune out any information that's being provided by people who are trying to sell you something. Be it an actual foodstuff, a book, fitness lessons, or even just advertising. Even Michael Pollan nailed it pretty early in his career. In a single sentence, too. It's just that then he had to keep going, because stopping there wouldn't have made for much of a career as an author.

I hope you never witness a government official commit a crime and consider blowing the whistle.
I was answering the "Why do you think CCP has control over TikTok?" question. Epoch Times article provides enough information to make someone think that CCP may have control over TikTok.

My position on associating with CCP is irrelevant for the original question, but since you asked now, - yes, associating with a communist party (Chinese or otherwise) while not a crime, is not a good thing either. I'm an immigrant from ex-USSR and I've seen first hand what "party who claims to be totally devoted to serving people" means in the real world. You can associate with whom you want, but I wouldn't want any entity associating with a communist party touch any aspect of my life, let alone my data.
I have an extremely hard time believing average citizens are having such a huge effect. This German law seems to have been spurred by some study saying that over the last few decades the flying insect population has dropped by a big percentage in Germany. Yet cannot find any information as to any adverse effect it had on anything. Nor is it obvious what exactly caused this drop.

The logic here seems to be "insect populations are dropping so let's forbid some things that are killing insects".

> Why? I've spent a lot of time in tropical countries and found it very effective. Even just a running fan keeps most mozzies away as they aren't generally strong fliers.

They'll still fly around you. Sure when traveling somewhere that's the only solution.

Chemical diffusers work best for me. I rarely go outside, just deploy it as needed and it takes care of the problem pretty fast.

But say someone has a restaurant/whatever with an outside area. In addition to periodic chemical treatments, you might want to have a bunch of light traps in your arsenal.

And the article does talk about limiting use of insecticides too but isn't too clear on that.

Apologies, I didn't mean to sound condescending.

> Your leg to stand on is that TikTok's (China's?) "shit" smells the worst as such "we" have the moral high ground.

That isn't the point, really. It's just that TikTok is in a whole different league. A quote from the Reddit comment I've linked prior:

> For what it's worth I've reversed the Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter apps. They don't collect anywhere near the same amount of data that TikTok does, and they sure as hell aren't outright trying to hide exactly whats being sent like TikTok is. It's like comparing a cup of water to the ocean - they just don't compare.

> The world isn't binary and not being the worst doesn't make you good.

Nobody said that. The issue is that TikTok is "essentially malware that is targeting children".

And pointing that out doesn't suddenly make me a fan of Facebook. Your point is a false dilemma.

> But I see a strong sense of nationalism and patriotism that prevents you from even looking further than "they're worse so we must be good".

Thoughts:

Aerosol covid risk is highly likely, meaning that air travel requires N95 masks and goggles (eyes are a known vector).

If you are outdoors, dilution of virions happens quickly, especially in windy conditions. UV helps denature RNA quickly as well.

Indoor risk can be greatly mitigated with room air purifiers, but they have not been deployed because the WHO hasn’t acted on aerosol risk. (albeit, the deployment of air purifiers would be a larger expense than cloth masks, which are not effective at stopping aerosol).
That was a great article.

Good question and one that I'd like to hear other comments on.

My take is that bootstrapped companies today focus on niche markets. When you don't have to give up 40%+ of the company away by Series D - you can afford to live a great lifestyle tackling a market with smaller TAM than VCs and VC-backed startups look for.

There's also probably something to be said for the difficulty of:

1. Running an VC-backed company through explosive growth
2. Maturing the company past explosive growth to profitability / cash flow positive

Bootstrappers pursue measured growth with a focus on cash flow + profitability from day 1 so they don't necessarily need to suffer through those same difficulties. Though they fight other battles (i.e. growing in cash constrained environments).
The scenario you outline is of a person experienced in a technical field having second thoughts about something, but not raising the concerns sure to external factors.

This is very different from the scenarios mentioned by the GP, where people who are not experienced in the technical field (i.e. not immunologists or HVAC engineer, respectively) ignore the advice of people who are experts, just because it feels right to them in their gut.

I would say, listen to experts (and not your gut) when outside of your field, and listen to your gut (but not only your gut) when in your field.
Unfortunately no, the title is "

Masks increase the amount of time you can spend indoors with someone emitting virion loaded aerosol, but I wouldn’t spend more than 5-10 minutes in that environment.

Bathrooms appear to be a large risk of aerosol due to flushing induced formation.

All of the AWS services I’ve used are difficult to work with. Documentation is often vague, outdated, incomplete, or nonexistent. The whole system seems designed to create jobs for AWS admins.
