Some Google properties work in China, and some blocked properties do work very occasionally.
The problem with this approach is similar to the problem of having a dedicated org for ops: the qa/testing org is disjointed from any sense of delivering business value and its goals are somewhat arbitrary. This team usually does not have a good understanding of what devs workflow looks like and instead it mandates some things that look good on paper but end up being quite useless in practice. Eg “have functional tests for every application” becomes a mandate that devs pay lip service to. It becomes another annoying box that devs need to check rather than something that actually improves the reliability of their applications.

A better approach is to discuss the reliability goals with the dev team and let them employ/buy any testing tools they need and hold the team responsible for the result. Developers want to build reliable apps. They know how their applications work. They want what they build to not break.

> So we should expect the price of gold to rise while the pandemic is out of control. Once the coronavirus is defeated, we should expect the price of gold to fall.

Gold has been rising steadily for years, interest rates have been low for years. That's a lot of excess liquidity already in the market, it's just exacerbated.

Coronavirus disappearing from the news won't make all that excess liquidity disappear.

Gold and other assets will drop when that excess liquidity is removed through rate hikes and QT.

When will that happen? My money is on "never".

I didn't downvote your comment but a lot of regular people do buy physical gold (coins & bars)[1] and store the precious metals in a safe.

That said, I don't know how much the gold price is affected by gold ETF vs physical transactions.

It's still possible to use decision theory and an utilitarian framework (and/or bounded rationality) to unify whatever two random people's morals happen to be. Sure, in theory people with infinite time on their hands will come to agreement about everything - Aumann's agreement theorem. But even if they don't, it doesn't matter, as they are still going to maximite their utility as best as they every point in time can, with all the complexities involved due to our neurobiology and path-dependence on personal experiences.

Now, that said, ignoring pathological cases (both abstract/hypothetical and real clinical - eg someone just on the verge of suicide) rational agents have instrumental goals, such as survival, gathering resources to be able to survive, keeping warm, but not too warm, etc. And this is where "the fun begins", or the complications. Because there are many possible strategies, just putting them on a predatory-cooperatory spectrum gives a sort of handle on them. (Obviously there are situations where otherwise even the most cooperative-minded person can end up selfish, and vice versa.)

And abstracting all this basically gets you Rawls' Theory of Justice, which says, that since you don't know what situations you can end up in (eg. you don't know if you get cancer in the next year or not), you should think through many situations and determine what would you prefer in them, and then try to find moral norms that are the most satisfiying in the most cases. (Eg. the most fair rules.)

Of course this is extremely handwavy, and naturally - as things in philosophy are rarely - the matter is not settled, but I think there there is a convincing argument to say that sentient minds can find a common moral ground, if they want to.

> IPv6 doesn't have NAT

This is widely believed, but it's false. There is nothing whatsoever stopping you doing NAT with IPv6, even though you probably don't need to.

The question is will gold outperform other asset classes? Historically, gold isn't that great, but that's past performance.
No, it's not directly related to interest rates remaining low or not. As economical situation improves after Covid-19, money will flow back to other assets and the price of gold will mechanically decrease because people will sell to invest back in those assets. This is what happens during and after every crisis, and what OP meant.

The upwards trend of 2020 is due to Covid-19. There will be a correction when that crisis ends.
The risk thing will be patched out too, naturally, I assume, just as with game cracks. And yes, the updates will just restore everything, scream and scold the user. So there will be users that don't update ...
This is one of the most cleanly straightforward and mature posts I've read on HN in awhile. And quite practical too, particularly that last portion. Also, agreed.
Instead of calling it "ULPs" they refer to a "next floating point number" which I'm pretty sure is the same idea:

> Unlike the number line, for every representable floating point number x, there is a _next_ floating point number, and it is approximately x + ϵmachine x. So for an arbitrary real number x0, it falls between two floating point values x and x+ϵx (leaving off the subscript for conciseness). When we represent x0 in floating point, we will get one of these two values.

It absolutely should be. This has a lot more value to large social media teams who have to iterate on content daily to test conversion than it does to just an individual who wants to make nice posts for their side hustle.

Work is for talking about work, not anything else. A few cordial off-topic comments here and there are fine, but if I have time to discuss politics at work that's time that I could have spent doing my job, and likely and subsequently more of my free time will be taken finishing up projects.

Talking politics == my free time, and I don't want to exchange my leisure hours for talking politics with my co-workers. The entire rest of your life can be talking about politics with your friends, your life shouldn't just be work.

It seems the real problem is too much of people's lives is work and so they think they have no time to talk politics.
Good luck getting any population to care about repressing 0.1% for national security. Math education is good in China, people understand per-capita and more importantly understand the terrorism stopped. Nothing else matters. It doesn't hurt their geopolitical adversary jails more in relative if not absolute terms. This "world" of yours is 23 who signed a letter against XJ versus 54 who supports XJ. Reeducation narrative has firm lead. There's about 100 countries who just don't care. And ultimately only 1 whose doing anything about it, but for geopolitics, and not because it cares.

>ME fear CCP

What is this, opposite day? Muslim countries fear China's zero military experience and zero force projection ability versus actual bombs being dropped in ME right now by west? Authoritarian countries likes what China wants to sell. A global order where authoritarianism is seen as a valid alternative governance model, a raising power who actually doesn't sanction or regime change over human rights. About the only Chinese "win-win" benefit most parties unironically believe in. Oh, also China used the Veto least.

>Chinese politicians however, are incredibly insecure

At this point I don't know if you're writing to debate or writing to cope.

That's why they are called frameworks, they solve standard problems in a specific way and the good frameworks provide extension points so you can customize when you need to deviate a little bit.

Can you give a specific example of when this poses a problem?
GP's argument is not for diversity (of race/gender/class/whatever else), but against the idea that such a project would necessarily be utopian, or that only individual action can fix a systemic issue. It doesn't even argue that there is a systemic issue, it is only a comment on the nature of systemic and individual issues.

GP's comment, far from hand-waving away 'anything they don't like' actually seems to be an argument against hand-waving based on a narrow, constricted view of societal problems (i.e. on the level of individuals and particular firms). The theoretical model propounded in the top-level comment should be questioned. If we still end up at the same answer even after questioning, that's fine - but it still needs questioning.

I don't think anyone actually argues that SV hiring practises are 'evil' or deliberately a particular way. GP seems to agree - evil is very much an element of conspiracy or deliberate action. We need to look wider than that, and not assign blame to people working within a system. When one says "that's just the way it is" - the correct answer is not "because of evil people", but rather to answer with a question in return - "why is that the way it is?". That way, you can start investigating the system rather than the individuals within it, who work to their own ends (as libertarian economists are fond of pointing out).

The constant dichotomy in these discussions set up between 'equality of outcome' and 'equality of opportunity' can only perceive individuals and individual firms. That dichotomy is worth questioning if we want to even consider the systemic view. The systemic view, as every philosopher I can name (on the right or the left) propounds, considers equality of opportunity. Marx himself famously rallied against these abstract notions of 'equality'.

There is only one philosopher in the whole of Western political and philosophical thought who propounds some kind of exactly equal distribution: Barbeuf, and he lived in the 18th century, and his ideas are not currently popular.

Since it doesn't do live video so no chat background virtual camera tools - but what if you did a video in the area you wanted to remove could you then use that for some sort of baseline for removing the background? So you do a video in the area you want to use your virtual camera in, and then when you're live it knows what the actual 'background' looks like so it can be used to remove live.
I think it's often out of necessity, when you have rapidly increasing numbers of devices (smartphones, IoT) and a large population. This could explain why IPv6 deployment is widespread in Asia. At some point maintaining huge CG-NAT deployments gets more expensive than implementing IPv6...

If Milton Friedman is right, and inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. There is a huge fight right now between deflationary forces caused by an unprecedented collapse in both supply and demand, and inflationary forces from both fiscal and monetary stimuli. The risk I've read over and over is that the stimulus overshoots the deflation risk and we get higher inflation--I think that's what gold is starting to respond to. But the most interesting thing to me is that gold does best when deflation takes hold because it forces a massive inflationary push from the government to reflate the currency (e.g., Executive Order 6102 and the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 changing the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 overnight). Talk about an inflationary shock! How would they do it now a days? Direct helicopter money into everyone's bank account...oh, wait, we are doing that...But the scary part is that demand is crimped by fear of going out and spending, so we see Amazon beat EPS by 10x because everyone simply spends online instead. What a time to be alive! But joking aside, how do you inflate if people don't want to spend? I guess if/when a vaccine comes, and everyone rushes back out is when we could see inflation jump.

You are assuming it is a problem, there is your political judgement. Why should all genders and races be represented equally in all occupations? Pertinent dictum: Strive for equality of opportunity not equality of outcomes.
The problem isn't with the explicit statement, which is rarely made.

The problem is with the fact "the world is just" is a position they reason from, and seek to defend, often in blatant contradiction to the facts of the situation.

> Maybe silicon valley just hired who it thought was best 20 years ago
...
> Not because it was malicious or discriminative, or evil, it just happened

Doesn't seem like a valid hypothesis. Programming computers was originally predominantly done by women, remember, so why is SV mostly white guys? We've already seen both genders can do the work. I've worked with lots of women at hackathons and know some who went through coding camps and landed software engineering jobs at places like Etsy, so know they aren't excluded because they "can't do the job best" like you imply.

If some white guys with money thought other white guys with money do the work best, and made sure to hire other white guys, don't you feel like that's discrimination? Why would a claim that it "just happened" mean it isn't discrimination? I've definitely seen this happen at lots of startups I've worked at. I knew a Princeton C-level from a top 10 app company who would always only hire people from the same school that pretty much looked like exact clones of him.

Similarly, at work, I've had directors agree to let me work on big, ground breaking projects, but as soon as they see I'm disabled they immediately change their tune from a transfer being "one easy email" to "oh, we changed our mind, deal with it, don't talk to me, talk to HR".

He didn't say "all", he said "many". And that is factually right. Many ISPs use DSLite/CGNAT and don't hand out public IPv4 addresses to their customers anymore. Yes, some offer the option to change to a public IPv4, some charge extra money for this feature, and some don't offer it at all!

E.g. my ISP doesn't hand out public IPv4 and you can't order it, unless you change to a business contract. However, my ISP is doing some weird 1:1-NAT, so while I don't get assigned a public IPv4 to my router, I do get assigned a single IPv4 on the CGNAT router that also translates back to my home network.
I bought some about 10 months ago as a practice investment, as I figured it was easier to understand than the share market and it had given an average 10%/year return over the past 10 years (well at least in Australian dollars). Kinda wish I bought more though, but who would have predicted a worldwide shutdown?

That said, the gold price has barely moved compared to how much silver has skyrocketed the past few weeks.

The question I'm pondering is, is the value of gold/silver skyrocketing, or is the real tangible value of the USD crashing? I guess only time will tell ️
