That all makes sense, I guess I don’t follow how the recession of the advertising market would reduce engagement on FB. Sure, FB would probably see a revenue decline, but the users would still engage whether or not there would be ads on the site.

And while I agree that ad budgets are probably about get slashed across the board, I see more companies shifting from older, more expensive ad spending strategies towards online and Facebook. They’re in the most competitive position in the aggregate advertising market, way cheaper and more effective than traditional advertising channels.
Did AdBlock immediately do anything that wasn't intended to be authorized by Chris? I meant the latter.
Opportunity for more datacenters? A lot of datacenters are built inside abandoned warehouses and other buildings: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/analysis/recycled-buil...

These places tend to be connected to useful infrastructure like rail lines, and at least in the US, the internet kinda borrowed rail's right of way to lay fiber. Not sure how well connected malls are; they tend to be near highways so it might have a similar advantage?

If everyone in the office is clean, sure, but what about the HVAC technician you had to call in? The UPS driver who interacted with the mail room employees? What if your cube neighbor is exposed by a family member who is asymptomatic and ends up spreading it to half the row before they get their results back? Unless you want to test your employees every day and hope the test is accurate, you need masks.
What's going on with multiple subreddits suddenly changing into Trump subs?
Indeed, such support used to be seen as routine: Republicans dumped a massive amount of stimulus into the economy during the 2008 crisis. It really says a lot about how much the basic functioning of our political system has decayed that this is no longer happening this time around.

Like, even if they care not a whit about the people involved (they don't), it is republicans' own self interest that they do not go into the 2020 elections having crashed the economy at an absolutely unprecedented rate. They should be doing whatever it takes to avert it.

Numbers like "33% annualized decline in the economy" should be striking fear into everyone's heart. We are speedrunning the great depression, the great depression took five years to hit bottom, we are going to do it in a year or so unless something drastic is done.

Data analysis is alas a big field. I would say you should assess a few factors:
1) how much basic-ish learning in the data science / statistics / ML areas you expect to be undergoing yourself; the Python ecosystem will probably make this much faster
2) how you expect to scale & productionize your analysis tasks (if at all); in my experience Python is a second-class citizen in the Spark world, not far above Clojure's third-class status, and throughput gains from Clojure's native JVM output may outweigh the relative convenience of the PySpark interface. TensorFlow & TFX's interfaces are basically designed from the ground-up for Python.
3) Which major techniques & corresponding libraries you expect to use (e.g. MCMC/STAN, Pyro, TensorFlow, scipy, scikit-learn). Some of these might rule out one language (more likely eliminating Clojure) or the other.
4) How important data visualization will be for you. This aspect of the work will be much easier & richer in Python than in Clojure.
5) What kind of data transformation & validation you expect to do. If this is largely statistical in nature (e.g. rescaling distributions) it's probably a wash. If this is viz-heavy it'd favor Python. If this involves complicated structured data, I'd recommend Clojure.
Why don't we just encourage more housing builds instead of stifling supply and contriving reckless policies to force people into doing this or that? (like forcing people to sell property at a loss?)
> (..) as soon as a non-American company has the same leverage over American citizens, the US government immediately starts freaking out,

"Freaking out" is a loaded term that employs weasel words to make believe that it's silly for a nation to be wary of outsider's influence. It is far from silly. It's the most basic of precautions.

Considering that on the other side there's China's totalitarian dictatorship, not only are these precautions very basic but also absolutely necessary.
Isn’t it cruelty on top of cruelty to not address how unkind and unfair our society is and then attempt to block people’s only escape route? If the world isn’t going to become less cruel who are we to prevent individuals from escaping it?
Linguistic Prescription
I used to work at WordPress.com (Automattic) after they acquired our startup Simplenote. P2 was great.

Now I'm at one of the big tech companies that is suddenly all-remote. I miss P2. It gives you a place where ideas can "stick" much better than with async chat, email, or wikis. At the top-level (per-team or per-project) P2s feel like much more than just another wiki aggregation page. You actually want to visit them to catch up on the latest.

The per-post threaded conversations promote more thoughtful, ongoing discussion. These naturally fade over time as new posts are made, a bit like HN or reddit. Generally this is a useful, organic default, and complements (rather than replaces) async chat.

It can be overwhelming once you're interested in tracking many P2s. But you can address this with discipline, culture, and more tools.
Just look at how reliant the US is on the antiquated ACH transfer system. We're in the year 2020 and it's literally faster to mail someone cash in many cases.
I wish more people complied with ISO 8601.

Even better, wish everyone would standardize on:

* YYYYMMDD for dates

* YYYY-MM for months

* YYYYMMDDTHHMM for time where T is the capital letter T. Two additional digits can be added for seconds and then as many additional digits as needed for precision.

It can—that's how you used to be able to use Stadia on non-Google/Pixel Android devices before general availability.

iOS Safari isn't supported, however. Not sure if it has something to do with gamepads, video codecs, or what...
My first developer laptop was one of these hacked to run Ubuntu. I think I dropped $400 on it. That puppy took me from barista to employed software developer.

Afterwards it found a second life as my favorite travel / bedside laptop until a glass of water claimed its life a few years back.

Thanks! Performance wise, we've not noticed any reduction in performance compared to a regular container, mainly because Sysbox sits on some control-path operations (e.g., accesses to /proc/sys, mount syscall, etc) but is really not intercepting anything on the datapath. For example, deploying K8s inside a system container takes < 40 seconds on my laptop, same as it takes with K8s.io KinD which uses the OCI runc (with privileged containers). Having said this, we've not done a thorough perf analysis yet.

As far as using this in production, the software is well tested but has not been used in production to the best of our knowledge. It has room to mature still, both in term of functionality and security, but it's in pretty good shape already. We hope open-sourcing it allows it to mature it faster.

And as far as limitations, there are a few, here is a list: https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox/blob/master/docs/user-gui... . We hope to remove some of these as the product matures too.
How does that make sense? On paper they just lose the revenue of the Fit without gaining any new revenue elsewhere. That’s just a loss. It takes some magical thinking to argue that these lost customers will move over to the more popular model, a qualitatively different car.
No question it's suboptimal, but the alternatives have problems too. It's not hard to understand why a legit user would choose to post that way. I can tell you from many years of experience with this that most people turn out to be who they say they are, and readers tend to be off by 10x or more in guessing about this. That may change, but I don't think we're seeing indications of that yet.
>it's well aware of what context it's being used in.

I don't think so, I think it's just guessing. I just went and searched Nike to find the Greek goddess as suggested earlier, but it still showed me the shoes nike.com despite that being obviously wrong for what I wanted.
Command option space opens a search window in the Finder. Or you can use command tab, or use the gesture / button to show desktop and click. Lots of options.
Thanks!

We are out of the critical path, meaning we only emulate interactions with procfs / sysfs, and we only intercept mount syscalls at the moment, so we don't see any tangible performance hit. Having said that, we haven't done large scaling&perf tests yet.
Berlin is a bit extreme even by German standards (let's not forget that Berlin was basically the capital of sex as early as the 1920s). Maybe what you remember as "looks like a brothel" was an ad for Dildoking? Those are basically everywhere. Incidentally (not having grown up here) I wonder how parents explain that to their kids.

But I would take this any day over the American prudishness and I find the idea that you as a responsible adult shouldn't be allowed to install an app with sexual content repugnant. And it was particularly ridiculous that tumblr basically decided to commit suicide by banning NSFW content.

Although I sometimes wonder if this is really just American prudishness or if it also has something to do with certain other markets (e.g. China) that tech companies want to expand to.
After reading the article it seems they were referring to total neutrinos, so I think the OP's correction stands.
I'm sure this used to be a theme for WordPress at one point? Either way, it's really unusual how Automattic haven't released it to the public

Please define what you mean by "publishing". Where has the author said anything more than "this is a project on my Github and here's what it does"?

Assuming the answer is nowhere:

Please retract. You appear to be one of those people with no understanding of modern open source culture, and only the ability to criticize. Do you expect everyone to keep their projects private until they meet your personal standards? (a) why the fuck should they? (b) what about a Github user who simply lacks the skills to ever meet your standards? (Evidently not the case here.) It's a shame I'm being overtly aggressive, but I think it's commensurate with the less overt unpleasantness of your comment.

I bet you're one of those people who thinks it's "irresponsible" to publish software on Github that could have bad consequences if someone were to rely on it in an important context. Repositories such as Github are free. They are a place for anyone to store whatever creations they come up with. It's a huge and uncuratable mixture of essential backbones of modern computing, art, utter incompetence, and technical genius, and a lot of stuff in the middle. How that is hard for people like you to understand I do not know. I guess you have a very boring job at a very boring company.
>The fact that prices are concealed between these individual sellers (candidates/employers) is the only way this can work (information asymmetry).

This would work if all sellers were selling the same goods. Such as in case of hourly labor. Incidentally, in these cases, the salary is known and is same for the laborers with the same skill set and responsibilities.

In case of salaried jobs, such as in Blizzard, the labor of each employee is unique and you cannot sensibly price it wholesale thus there are salary negotiations for both sides to come to an agreement. I personally do not see how knowing other people salaries is going to help you in a negotiation as this does not give you any additional leverage but if you think it will - go ahead and disclose your salary to your coworkers, see how it will go.

>"Shopping for the best offer" depends on knowing what offers were available to you and the others to begin with.

And who is preventing you from asking? I don't see how asking your coworker salary is going to help you to learn what offer you can get in another place without applying there.

Haha that's terrible. When was this?
If you were making that argument about "abolish", I'd agree, but defund? I guess you'd need to know the massive funding increases the police has gotten over the past 20 years. Even abolish acknowledges there needs to be some form of community policing, it's just that the current model is militaristic, has little accountability, incentivizes the wrong things (arrest quotas) and (re-)hires the wrong people.

I don't think anarchy is what you think it is. It wrongfully has picked up the entire Mad Max vibe. Any Chomsky talk on anarchism or the book of the same name ("On Anarchism") are a bit more nuanced introductions. Anarchism and police are "natural enemies" because anarchists believe the power police hold right now is unproportionate and unjustifiable. See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24025920
This positions literally made me guffaw.

'"Voting with your wallet" isn't voting for change; it's giving up.'

I love the subtext I'm reading that boycotting companies that are doing bad things is for dirty quitters who lack grit.

This brings to mind a Musashi quote, from the book of five rings.

“You should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else, for that matter. Too much is the same as not enough. Without imitating anyone else, you should have as much weaponry as suits you.”
Is the only thing that stops components from colliding literally naming convention? Like <fast-dropdown> != <my-homebrew-dropdown>? So it's basically a convention-based standard rather than a fixed standard? This feels like another example of the XHTML apocalypse coming full circle and we're trying to find objective approaches to loosely defined data.

I do feel I am exposing myself to some ridicule for being out of style and I regret my attitude in my original reply but it felt honest at the time, I am glad that we have had this conversation in general because it's given me a lot to think over.

My main fear that I developed over the years is we end up developing frameworks for frameworks instead of delivering tangible results. I've been on projects that ended up taking far, far longer and costing way more to maintain simply because we had to nurse the framework rather than deliver the results.

Anyway thanks for taking the time out again, I need to percolate for a while and look into some of the ideas that have been expressed here.
The vast majority of distrust of science and experts has nothing to do with epistemology or history of science or anything else rational. It's because accepting scientific facts often leads to politically uncomfortable conclusions, like we can't keep pillaging the planet, or that trans people should be treated like humans.
It's odd that everyone here is mentioning search as a counterpoint, when that's one of the least discoverable interfaces --- just like a command line, you need to at least know what something is called in order to use it. Contrast that with a menu, where you are immediately presented with all the options to choose from.
You can down-vote all you like, but it remains true all the same.
Hmm, can you turn GPT-3 api into a fact checker by priming it with tuples of (in)correct statements, true/false? And then maybe prime it to add explanations and references for the responses as well.

In case anyone from EthicalAds is reading this, you've got a copy error:

> We believe good advertising should _compliment_ content and never get in the way. That's why we built a network that complies with AcceptableAds, BetterAds, and DoNotTrack.

Complement, not compliment.
The idea here (I think) is that this is meant for use within an enterprise. Like a corporate wiki, but organized more like an aggregator site. I've seen a few similar products that were like enterprise facebook or enterprise twitter. They are sorta useful, but it's hard to get enough engagement to be worthwhile. Your company needs at least a few thousand people in order for them to generate enough content to keep people interested.
> I have no relationships where “obedience” is considered a virtue.

Maybe this statement should be qualified as being about personal relationships, since the vast majority of employer/employee relationships demand obedience to the demands of the employer. Even high-level executives can't just tell their boss that they don't want to do something they're told to do. They could argue against it, but if they're overruled, they need to obey or be fired.

You are, of course, free to quit your job, but for many people, the loss of income and health benefits that would entail could make that virtually impossible.

It’s better (faster and less twitchy) than Facebook.
Eh, I do think the US is probably slightly better than China in this regard. The camps for uighur muslims in China sound absolutely awful. But the US system is anything but fair. There have been hundreds of stories from Black Americans in the last few months about how unfairly they're treated.
Peptide Antidotes to SARS-CoV-2
Some VC's are generous with their time and happy to answer questions about all sorts of things in a lot more detail than you'd expect. Patrick Mathieson (Toba Capital) comes to mind as a great example.
You’re 100% correct. These things don’t happen because apparently those who can make it happen don’t actually want that outcome.

I think it's more likely that their thinking goes along the lines of "game installs are a ton of revenue for us; game streaming services give iPhone users a way to pay someone else for games without us getting a cut, so we have to stop that because we are a business and we like money."
No need. Anything a SSTO can do, staging can do better. Staging will always produce higher payloads to orbit.

> You started with "OP seems [...]", which sort of implies you are interpreting as well...

I edited that in to soften the message. It's like the approach of phrasing things to avoid use of "you" when addressing a topic, to prevent people from getting defensive—which I also do a lot and did here. Clearly that effort was wasted.
> What's the point of doing that though? It's just chumming the water for unsolicited feedback.

You'd do it to prevent feedback.
Command Option Space

Or consider Alfred App which has fuzzy search:

“Command Space” then “fd”

Will find finder. That’s around 3 or 4 keys

The huge problem (in my experience) with the Windows key and associated shortcuts is accidentally hitting it when you don’t intend. Like you want to hit control but hit Windows key and your context gets totally messed up

> So why not play Apple their 15% for a seamless in-app purchase system to add new users with?

Hey has responded very specifically to this https://hey.com/apple/iap/

Their main objection to this is that they want to own the relationship with the customer. They want to be able to issue a refund or account credit or discount or hardship exceptions, which you cannot do through Apple's App Store.
Oh, I didn't know that. (I'm a lawyer, but my practice is transactional rather than litigation--I've never had to use PACER.)
I’m also looking at this now after more than a decade in Python. I don’t think “move” is the right word but rather “coexist”. You can call back and forth between Python and Julia, so why pretend you have to choose? For example, matplotlib is one of the more feature complete plotting backends for Plots.jl.

The question I am currently researching is not what Julia is good at but what are the pitfalls and drawbacks of particular technical choices. I know them by heart now for Python, and my team relies on knowing what doesn’t work well. For Julia it’s an unknown unknown. Understandably all the blogs are about why Julia is great so it makes seems to go slowly and coexist instead of moving.
> Argue devil's advocate all you like, but there are many HOAs with "No Jews, Asiatics, Blacks, or Mulattos allowed" still on the charter and "Whites only" written directly into the deed.

Restrictive covenants have been a dead letter for decades, and they predate modern HOAs by definition.
Your link refers to the following clinical trials for BCG, running since March:

It seems there are no current clinical trials for OPV, just that author arguing that such trial could be started (first time in April).

BTW, looking at how polio manifested, it really is a good example about what viruses are able to do, and why only counting "dead" (as in CFR or whatever) misses the point:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/covid-19-is-threaten...

"Polio often destroyed nerve cells that controlled muscles, leaving some with paralyzed limbs or lungs."
Heh, it's not really the game streaming Apple takes exception to; it's the revenue streaming.
Ex-Docker person here. I got an early peek at Sysbox and I'm really excited by it -- it's really neat.

Docker is missing a bunch of features that make some software work, which is why you can't run Docker inside Docker by default. Instead of dropping from containers all the way down to hardware virtualization, Sysbox is "augmenting" containers with the missing features by simulating them in userland. That gives you all the power of a VM, without any of the downside of slow start-up speed, provisioning blocks of memory, not being able to run them on EC2, etcetc.

It reminds me a bit of user-mode Linux [0], weirdly. There's something kinda interesting about simulating a bunch of the kernel in userland.
