yes, if you want to optimize a worst-case MPI-cluster, then a Pi (4) might be optimal for you (because sadly, 4 measly ARM cores with 100MBit/s is a some magnitudes removed from 100 cores and 100GBit/s Infiniband). But then you can also use a stack of old desktops, which is cheaper and you can just throw in a standard image and everything (including CUDA and MKL) can work.
We can agree to disagree here, but I will share my opinion that in the case of an “erratic criminal” kneeling on the neck very well could save countless lives. For example, kneeling on the neck of an active shooter
There will be way fewer deaths though. Treatment is much better than it was in March. A couple of million people across Europe that would have died without the first lockdown will live if they catch it now.

Also it seems that mild cases don't result in lasting immunity so lasting herd immunity via live infections is impossible.

For those, like me, who find this article too pseudo-sciencey, the paper Psychological Stress and Mitochondria: A Conceptual Framework [1] lays the foundation I was missing:

> It is also interesting to note in the context of stress regulation that all steroid hormones, including glucocorticoids and sex hormones, are synthesized in a process that is regulated by, and occurs in mitochondria, further linking mitochondrial biology to stress signaling.

Stress in this sense refers to all biological stressors such as physical exertion. Mitochondria, therefore, are not only central to energy production but also to stress response. This is simply how the system works.

The French government placed on Amazon, AND every other online sellers, restrictions on what type of product could be sold: only first necessity items. The only one refusing to comply, and loudly at that, was Amazon.

Dating apps are probably one of the best examples of conflict of interest: Your purpose is to help people stop using your service!

When money comes into play, you obviously don't want your users to leave.

Honestly, at this point, who is to say that the good matches are not paid employees acting as real users, or that "ghosting" (ending matches or blocking messages) isn't forced by the service, to induce an addiction? Clearly they can get away with scummy tactics, so why not milk all the money they can?

I had to look this up on Wikipedia[1], it can apparently transmit as well as listen the way that most radio telescopes do and in at up to 20 TW too. I had frankly thought the most powerful radars in the world were in the 10s of MW range and this thing has got a dish 305m in diameter compared to the 10-50m I'm used to for radars tracking satellites in orbit (I used to do software for that professionally).

I wouldn't have thought doing active radar scans of an astroid out in space was possible given that radar returns fall off as the 4th power of range. But given that power and dish size, given that these are large objects being tracked, and given that they move slowly compared to the radar cone I guess it's possible after all. But then again one of the first ballistic missile defense radars accidentally mistook the rising Moon for an attack and almost caused WWIII[2] so I guess there's precedent, even though the Moon is much larger and closer. I'm seeing references to it tracking asteroids in the Apollo group, so relatively nearby[3] and plates which are much larger. I'd guess that even the biggest asteroid in the main belt, 1 Ceres, would be too dim for it to see but I'm curious.

I don't think amazon will have problem with this as long as the competition play by the same rules.

If its the same rules, amazon will just use its huge amount of capital investment to gain those advantages instead. As it does now. In fact it will in Amazons advantage to raise conditions for entire country if it can.

The problem comes when governments intervene to disadvantage foreign companies over native companies to provide an advantage.

While possibility of creating ICs in a "homelab" remains years or decades in the future, it is an innovation that is very important to strive for. The world of information has become increasingly dangerous, and trust is in short supply. We need stronger guarantees that our computational hardware is secure and backdoor-free and the best (but not perfect) way of doing it is to manufacture it yourself.

Libre Silicon [1] is one organization that is striving forward and I am hopeful they will make great progress.

Edit: when a high schooler can fabricate ICs in his garage [2], you know with enough effort, a lot of progress can be made on the problem

I don’t think Mozilla should have Brave per se, but it shows some of the work they could have done.

If they had to literally skin chrome to do then I guess they could. But they should be capable of so much more.

Specially Brave is faster to launch and uses less resources than Firefox and had privacy and ad blocking features turned on by default. I particularly like the little bug that shows you how much bloat it’s blocked.

> Do you not think that there are universal human rights?

I know attempts have been made to come up with "universal rights". But to my point, not everyone agrees with them. For example, the convention on children's rights has not been ratified by the US.

The poster I first responded to, has since clarified that he meant something like US law working as a blacklist of what is forbidden (as opposed to a whitelist of what is allowed). So the discussion about universal rights was a bit of a red herring, sorry.

The last sentence without the context of the preceding sentences would seem that way, yes. However in the context of “laws created as a response to emotional appeals” it becomes a warning to remember that everyone has feelings and everyone’s feelings are different when creating or considering the law.
People said similar things about Japan before they took the lead in DRAM development back in the 1980s.
> The law decides fair. It's not subjective.

That certainly IS a consistent position one could take. Most people feel that there are certain moral imperatives that exist independent of government-defined laws and that government laws can be fair or unfair. However, the position you take here -- that "fair" means whatever the government says -- is a possible basis for ethics.

But I, and most people, find it to be deficient. It requires that you admit that (for one example) slavery in the USA before 1863 was fair which I (and most people) disagree with. I'm sure you can find other examples if you wish.

Are you sure this is what you want to base your definition of "fair" on?
This statement comes from our benchmarking work:

https://jet-start.sh/blog/2020/06/09/jdk-gc-benchmarks-part1

The point is that Jet can track several million distinct keys, even on a single machine, and finding velocity vectors boils down to linear regression sliding window against two FP variables.

If your concern is why you would specifically want to track locations, the answer is that there are plenty location-based apps that track locations with user's consent.

The biggest mistake I made when moving to London was not to check out the neighbourhood on AirBNB. I was stuck in area which is popular for AirBNBs where multiple random people arrive nearly daily to stay at apartments in my building, and neighbouring ones.

The amount of inconvenience AirBNB causes is huge, if you are living near a hotel it's obvious but these hidden hotels are just horrible. Sure, they a cost effective for the visitor.

I wish there would be stricter rules for AirBNBs and yes I have been that bad neighbour which reported the landlord that this was happening. As it wasn't allowed in the standard tenancy agreement. As the nuisance was just too high, excessive noise, rude behaviour, wild parties, police involvement.
Oops, yes. Thanks.
We are not talking about stealing here. They are hiring senior people with the know-how, both engineers and executives, by offering them huge compensation packages. They are hiring from both Taiwan and South Korea btw.

Huawei does the same in mobile. Their know-how comes from hiring good people. They have R&D centers outside China where they employ people they hired from Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson and others to design their new 5G SoC and mobile technologies.
If that logic is applied, it is perfectly fine to charge some races more than others.
Looks like my pixel3a. Modern software at its finest.
"I strongly doubt anyone will ever catch up with TSMC or Samsung at this point."

What timeline are we talking about here? 1 year? 5 years? Forever?

Yes, of course people will "Catch up" to Samsung and TSMC, both of which are relatively recent leaders in this field. There are are loads of foundries around the world, all of which have virtually equivalent level of complexity, but it is small (literally small) advances that give one foundry or another a competitive lead. And those small advances are certainly stealable, quite aside from independent orthogonal advances.

The WHO is definitely not advocating herd immunity - most recently they've been calling for everyone to copy New Zealand's success in eliminating the virus right before New Zealand discovered they actually had community transmission. With that we're now pretty much all out of elimination success stories, so I'm not sure what they're going to do next.

Current evidence suggests "herd immunity" is the only feasible option. There seem to be precisely two kinds of places that can successfully lift internal restrictions without a resurgence: tiny islands like Guernsey with closed external borders that can eliminate the virus, and places like New York City, Italy, and possibly parts of Sweden where a substantial proportion of the population has been infected. That's it (and it's entirely plausible the former have just got lucky so far). Between the two is only an endless kind of purgatory countries like the UK and South Korea seem to have ended up in, where testing and tracing and restrictions short of lockdown keep case numbers down but fail to eliminate the disease and can't be lifted because that leads to exponentially growing infections.

Part of the problem is that the press has heavily obfuscated this. For example, they've tried to spin New York City as a success story and an example of flattening the curve working, when in reality it seems to be a perfect demonstration of what a non-flattened curve looks like - including the much sharper decline than that seen in places with lockdowns that did actually flatten the curve and fewer people infected. They've also mislead everyone into thinking that the decline in antibodies in people infected with Covid means they don't have immunity after a few months, when in reality that's not how long-term immunity works at all.

I have also noticed this effect with the layout; I find the
common staggered layout on keyboards encourages people to use
the wrong finger for a couple keys, especially with fast typing
speeds where you intuitively start optimising movements.

An ortholinear layout makes those keys only easily accessible
with the correct fingers, and overcoming that part of the muscle
memory was the hardest part of the switch for me.

And what's even better is vertical stagger according to finger
lengths; this increases comfort when typing significantly in my
experience, especially on very small keyboards.
I remember Derek Smart from my USENET days at the time of the BC3K fiasco.

I would definitely take his claims with some grains of salt. That said, Derek calling it a scam doesn't mean it's not a scam.
It didn't put itself above the law, because it closed down instead. That's complying with the law. Considering the amount fines they we're threatned with, I agree it was too risky operate. They would have only had to made a few mistakes and they would risk a massive fine.

> TSMC is very concerned about the talent outflow

This is one of the key reasons you need to give the right incentives and compensations to your employees. I have seen too many tech companies failing at employee retention.

The loss of talent will have a medium-long term impact on the company. And, many of their future competitors are going to be created by your current unhappy employees.

I have seen an increasing trend in tech-companies to be more employee-friendly beyond eye-candy perks. But, there is still a long path to walk.
> I don't know if you've quite understood how Swedish labor law differs from the French.

Obviously I don't know Swedish labour law.

What I'm after is something completely different: Amazon is able to operate in France just fine. I think France is NOT an easy country to operate in. Meaning, I think the article is not trying to pretend things are more difficult than they are in practice. Or: a non-story.

The bits you mention about collective labour agreements also applies to e.g. Netherlands. It partly there to also prevent unfair competition. The prices might be a bit higher or something, but again, not really a story.

It's interesting that other businesses restrict/block other companies. Within Netherlands the government (or at most a judge, possible due to unions) would ensure that such the company is forced to comply.

If the article actually mentioned the details where Amazon might try to ignore it, then go into detail why it would backfire, that would add something interesting. At the moment the article is poor and a non-story.
I learned touch typing on a typewriter in high school, but I never used it. After 25 years in the industry, I know that a typing speed over 30-40 wpm just isn't important for software development. Typing occupies maybe 10-15% of my total software development time.

Maintain 3 gigs simultaneously and drop the lowest paid one on occasion. Or devote fewer hours to it. Negotiation becomes, “sorry I can’t do more hours for you, someone else is paying me more for my time.” This will also mean you don’t have to worry about who gets what cut, just your cut. It means only doing part time and keeping a float of 40-60hour weeks.

Not OP but I don't imagine that would be very useful. The input method is completely different, so the muscle memory is completely different. Switching from Qwerty to Dvorak on phone just means you have to re-learn touchscreen typing all over again as well.

Also while Dvorak is objectively better for physical keyboards, Qwerty is objectively better for swipe touchscreen keyboards, for similar reasons to why it was better for typewriters. The more space between common character pairs, the better swipe keyboards word prediction works.
