Just assuming a normal curve - regardless of the threshold of "minimum ability to count as a researcher" one would expect between two comparable populations of different sizds more capable of and actively driving research as population grows.

Higher GDP is correlated implies higher per person productivity and more specialization to decommoditize themselves vs the global labor. Plus pushing the envelope often requires more funding for novel projects as there isn't an off the shelf for something novel to reduce costs.

They aren't perfect measures by any means (there exist things which boost either not research) but are decent enough proxies.
What's interesting is that some people have the old (Intel) developer transition kits, even though Apple has done extraordinarily well in the intervening time period. One wonders how Apple missed them…
Hope you're looking at South Africa! They're still waiting for stripe but I think this would do well there.
Great question. We built the product originally to help us bring a tutoring business online as in-person instruction was impossible.

Again, these were businesses built around live instruction so the only option was video. Zoom was the one place where we opted for an integration as there’s simply no way we could build better video than Zoom given a limited (or unlimited) time frame.

We actually built tooling inside to pick locations for your classes and appointments, but so far they have rarely been used.

Next we had a bunch of tools from our first product in Epihub, but something we learned from talking to teachers and having built tools for instructors was that you really didn’t need too much. Teachers know how to teach so the best tooling isn’t something overly prescriptive, but something in a virtual classroom isomorphic to a real classroom like a virtual whiteboard.

Again, we’re really new, so we’re still learning.
Dude awesome tip, just saw it now thank you! Great project! Watching the videos now... this is ground breaking stuff and little marketing for now on it... impressive I'm impressed with Nifi.
Two points:

1) Even now, plenty of people take into account the possible dissolution of Social Security or (more likely) changes to its benefit formula in their financial planning.

2) Longer time horizons could always have a hypothetical effect. You say a half century of a policy can't predict a hundred years of a policy; someone can just as well say a hundred years of a policy can't predict two hundred years of a policy.

In the long run, though, we're all dead, and the economic landscape is going to be so radically different in a century that it's pointless to predict how a particular policy will fare then. Someone in 1934 making predictions of the effects of Social Security in 2034 would be so far off as to not even be wrong. See, for example, Alf Landon's criticisms of the program then, which don't correspond at all with what its critics today don't like about it.
Cue: Tesla insurance.
Their mobile website is terrible and intentionally crippled... I've found that when I'm having lots of meetings–whether it's sales, recruiting, or looking for work–being able to quickly pull up profiles of people I'm talking with while on the go is useful.

That said they badge the notifications icon in the header of the desktop web version as well–just now mine had 8 unread "Notifications", 7 of which were suggesting I congratulate acquaintances for work anniversaries or telling me about trending posts. Why can't that just be in the feed? Maybe because I don't actually ever scroll through the feed, because I don't care about the garbage people post on LinkedIn.
The more research i do in economics the less impressed i am with the discipline.

Economics is defined as a social science. That point never really struck home with me until recently. I think the fancy models, the cutting edge statistics and clever use of logic blinded me to the fact that the entire discipline is built on top of stories.

There’s no gravity, there’s no absolute zero, there’s no kilogram. There’s no fundamental tangible truths underlying the concepts of free markets.

It’s stories we tell each other as a way to explain a system we don’t and possibly can’t understand.

I’ve never been so disappointed to realise all the arguments of economic theory are built on a foundation of sand. Shifting sand at that.
If you care about security, it is much easier to write non-exploitable code in Rust than in C++, and you can hire accordingly.

Actually, the people who are really experienced at writing secure code in C++ understand that they can't do it reliably, and an increasing number of them (like me) would much rather write Rust code instead for that reason. So for secure code the hiring advantage is tilting away from C++ towards Rust.
^ that was more sensationalism after the death rate started to flatten. The ICU rate then declined after following the death rate. AZ never locked down like CA did.

^ Those charts so ICU rates dropping in TX which was supposed to be "Overwhelmed" just like AZ.
The separate supply chain for toilet paper was because the products are fundamentally different (different kind of paper on different rolls), low margin, and expensive to convert.

PPE is often literally the same product sold in consumer vs. healthcare markets. Sure, the distributors may be different, but it's the same goods from the same factories, and often the same packaging.
Hasn't the experience, considering Asia, been that the greatest benefit of free markets is for low-paid workers?

I buy a lot of notionally 'American' products (iPhone, computer gear, electronics) that are all manufactured in Asia for cost reasons. A bunch of places have become extremely wealthy in the last century, basically creating a middle class out of poverty, through a strategy of cheap-wages-lots-of-manufacturing. Coincidentally, the greatest reductions in poverty are all in Asia. And one shudders to think what the Chinese could be achieving if their government was a bit more competent and left people alone to prosper.

Is there evidence that the poor in America are prospering under high minimum wages? The stats I've seen suggested it is basically status-quo for the last 50 years. Minimum wage is a small part of the puzzle, granted, but it isn't necessary to generate absurd improvements in the general welfare.
Yeah so it's hard to see if we can use London as an example. Any other places that might be more representative?
The initial mask guidance was pretty clearly wrong, and there was plenty of griping at the time that they were trying to conserve supplies for front line workers (and rightly so) by spreading FUD. Huge numbers of people were wearing masks back then, against the guidance, because it was pretty obviously better than not wearing one.

In my "bubble" the experts have been proven right, time and again. Again, the mask thing is about the only piece of bad information I can remember being spread.

And yet, all over the internet, 6+ months into this, we have a bunch of people who deliberately misinformed themselves for months, complaining that "the experts have been wrong over and over again".
A system setting risks allowing you to make more mistakes.

Imagine I install some app from a trusted third party and am walked through the steps to toggle the system setting to allow installs. Then a year later when I am installing some untrustworthy tool, I am no longer warned (at least not to the same severity) that this tool is unsigned. It leaves me more likely to install that software and end up putting myself at risk in the future.

Take for example the Android settings for installing third party apps. I can enable it on a per-app basis, but that permission persists for the lifetime of my device. If I allow Chrome to install apps for me, that enables apps from ANY site from now until the EOL of my device, to more easily make their way onto my phone.

If I am asked every time (or even periodically) I am given a moment to consider if I know what I am doing.
I spent years homeless. There are sometimes homeless developers in the US. You don't have to actually go asking snarky questions about wage rates in other countries to make the point that, for some people, that's a meaningful barrier, even for the software industry.

If that's the point you want to make, there are much better ways to make it.
What is your brilliant solution then???

This is clearly the best we can do know.
Apple has been making things more and more restrictive over a decade now.

New versions of mac os introducing new restrictions.

Doesn't take a genius to see that their end goal is to make mac os as restrictive as ios.

When that happens, will it still be the right spot for you?
> good to virtue signal for Palestinians

It's clear who has the axe to grind.

> get the facts right

You're demonstrating that anyone can pick any facts to tell any story.

According to 'haltingproblem, self determination is being able to vote in an election in an occupied territory where there is no freedom of movement and a large portion of the population is dependent on humanitarian aid.

Since this is all so simple and clear to you, can you please arrange your facts to explain what the 982 UN resolutions on the "Question of Palestine" are about?

Let's take the spirit of the message and generalize that to countries that are not rich (aka level 4 countries: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books/Factfulness#incomegroups).
This is a faulty argument.

Value to an individual is very different to value to a market.

Value in this sense is the aggregate of the individual values to all of the buyers and all of the sellers.

Price and value only match when supply and demand are at equilibrium.

I was "educated" by health professionals that said masks do not help you avoid infection, despite showing paper after paper that they do (PPE is so fundamental to infection control the whole health professional - anti-mask things was so random).

That includes my county health department (I asked if they would arrest me if I put a mask on or didn't take my mask off on a crowded transit vehicle - they said they would STRONGLY encourage me not to wear a mask on crowded transit vehicles if I was "healthy" despite my higher level of risk and that I shouldn't believe "disinformation". A month later they issued a mask mandate!)

Masks are cheap. For 10 cents to $1 you can save a life - perhaps cheapest intervention out there.
If you work on your form for 4-5 months, you aren't working on your form you're just losing gains.

I'm not working out with buckets full of liquid or materials thats hard to clean up.

Dumbells, kettle bells, and weighted vests are all off topic on the reply given the person was talking about doing bodyweight exercises.

Jump squats are great but not the same thing as properly weighted squats.

Not all positions which aren't poorly paid are supervisory/management positions.

Of course, restricting employability at the bottom end proportionately reduces the number of supervisory/management positions needed.
Why's that? At least on Android you're free to choose another browser that doesn't support notifications, if they bother you so much. Or you could just turn them of.
What are some examples of competitive industries with top-of-band comp? Based on what I've seen, when the going gets tough, companies would rather squeeze their workers than their investors (airline companies and pilots), since compensation falls within a range.
We wrote similar comments at almost the same time. Yes and Yes.

They're a pretty shady experience as a guest, so on a personal level I'm upset (per other comment). There's a pandemic and economic catastrophe, so there's a good bear argument that adds to the already bear argument that cities around the world are cracking down on AirBNB rentals because they're easy political targets.
Many people doubtless aren't even aware of the possibility of outcomes other than death or recovery, and not discussing the possibility of other outcomes tacitly supports their continued misunderstanding. You seem to be saying "we don't know for sure, so we should stay neutral and not talk imply an outcome either way," but saying nothing is not neutral.
I haven't seen any numbers on that but there's literally zero reason to run a Xeon Phi without using AVX-512, so I'd assume no design considerations were taken to optimize the clock frequency for a non-AVX-512 use case.
> What's your monthly healthcare premium? What's that, your employer provides that for you? Mine is almost $750/month. That's just for me.

yes, my employer pays the premiums for my HDHP. the coverage is comparable to something at the boundary of a typical silver/gold ACA plan. these cost $450-480/month for an individual, but someone making $30k would likely qualify for a federal credit of $100+/month (not to mention that their tax burden would be significantly lower than your quick estimate).

> What's more, as I pointed out, many folks earning minimum wage don't get 40 hours/week. As such, their income is less than the numbers I stated.

"many" being about 6% of workers making the minimum wage, according to BLS in 2017.[0]

> in the end, it comes down to how we choose to deal with this situation. Do we require employers to provide a (theoretical, remember many don't get 40 hours a week) living wage, or do we as a society pay to subsidize those employers who don't pay enough to allow people to support themselves?

> But the issue goes beyond just the dollars and cents. The hoops that many government programs force those who need help to jump through is often demeaning and tends to dehumanize people. What's more, those programs have overhead too. The costs of administering these programs need to be considered part of the subsidy to employers.

as a taxpayer, I'm not happy about paying for it, but I tend to think this is society's problem more than any particular business's. inevitably, there will be people who do not produce enough value to sustain themselves. in my ideal world, we would do away with minimum wage entirely, give people UBI sufficient to at least subsist (perhaps coupled with a public option for affordable heathcare), and let businesses employ anyone who wants to work for a market wage.

I have a "New Toyota", and I was asked before it started uploading data for insurance.
Well, yes, until you get to the point where (as the article shows) you cannot run unsigned applications on Apple Silicon. How much more slippery does this slope needs to get?
It's fairly limited right now to testing single blocks in the editor.

We recently added support for Git-based development to address testing. The idea there is that each block is just a chunk of code living in a Git repo, so you can use whatever testing tools you'd like to.

It's actually pretty slick -- it's bidirectional. You can use Git to make a commit, like normal, and then refresh the editor to see it. And you can make also changes in the editor and it will commit + push to Git. If you want to play with that, I can share details on how to enable it (it's fairly hidden in the UI atm).

In terms of testing workflows together as a chain, that's still TBD. It is something that we'd like to ship eventually though. Along with staging environments and canary deployments.

On our immediate roadmap is to get the core of the tool open-sourced so that people can start playing with it outside of our hosted platform. We have it gated behind a credit-card form right now to fight fraud and because of some technical limitations.
Almost all picking is done with pneumatic suction because it's highly reliable, powerful, relatively safe and easily adaptable. Furthermore, the standard silicone nozzles on the market permit varying amounts of safety margin due to squishiness. You can solve for almost every real world picking problem without more custom hardware than perhaps a mounting plate and scale instantly to mass-produced parallelism. This is why the industry has standardized on this approach... it's practical, cheap, fast and quickly adaptable.

The other 1% of items is a problem only in the case that the thing to be picked is either particularly complicated and irregular in shape, or has some delicate physical property. The annoying case, which seems to be what you are working on, is large numbers of unknown items.

If you start with recognition that no system will work with arbitrary items (the 'best case' generalized picking system will still be necessarily limited by maximum size of the object it can pick, the reach of the picking/placing motion, the weight it can support, and its accuracy/repeatability), this is a difficult field to justify research in, as while an algorithm aiming at generalizing solutions in this space can probably find a way to use the standard pneumatic approach against, say, the largest exposed flat surface of an unseen item after collecting a point cloud or grasping using opposite surfaces or enclose convex faces with an alternate gripping mechanism, these are never going to increase the generality to an absolute extent. Sadly, with this increased complexity comes diminishing returns, increased cost (sensors, actuators, computation, latency, etc.) and counter-intuitively (unless a major paradigm shift is obtained) also therefore a diminishing market.

Logically, then, the process governing new item ingress for whatever operations you are automating may likely be a better place to spend time than chasing after a non-existent magic algorithm / gripper design to solve for arbitrary cases. For example: "Mandate square boxes" elegantly solves the problem, as per international shipping. You don't actually need enclosed boxes - stackable trays work fine too.

About the only case where random item picking makes sense outside of garbage sorting is very large scale general warehousing for hugely dissimilar items, the sort of problem only Amazon has. For almost anyone else, sacrificing storage space efficiency with boxes or segmenting in to multiple specialised systems are likely better tradeoffs.
The SARS vaccine was likely successful. SARS died out and so the vaccine was never fully challenged in a pandemic. But as far as I know antibodies lasted a long time.
Exactly. Consulting jobs in London often pay $500+/day if you know what you're doing.

$100 for half a week of work would be a lot. People who think otherwise live in a bubble.

Yeah, that would put anyone off.

I've only spent a week in Amsterdam, but I don't recall any negative experiences at all.

When travelling I do tend to eschew touristy areas - other than having to look at specific places / objects, access museums or historic sites, etc - then a quick escape to less tourist-heavy areas.

I'm sure we all do the same in places we live, and therefore know well, but I guess holiday mode puts us in a more sanguine mood.
> This makes me wonder how accurate float bulb based fuel level sensors really are.

They aren't. On light aircraft, the only thing they're good for is as a double check on a manual fuel reading (using a dipstick) or a time-based calculation, and to confirm during flight that the fuel cap wasn't left off. Beyond that, the needles bounce around so much during flight the only thing you can really verify is "yes there's some liquid there; somewhere between empty and full".

Many light aircraft owners have since retrofitted "fuel totalizers" which measure fuel consumption, and are manually reset by the pilot to a dipstick value when fuel is added. My group aircraft's fuel totalizer seems accurate to within at least about 10%. It can be calibrated better, but manual dipstick readings are only accurate to a couple of gallons anyway.

However, one key difference is that I do know, to within about half an hour, my fuel endurance before departure. I'd want the same from a battery.
WPS is considered insecure.
I would generally like my software, regardless of it is open source or not, not be marked as malware when it is not malware.
Often it's easier to find a solution by talking about a problem, rather than staying silent until you've solved it on your own.
Woah, yeah I hadn't heard of that part of the api before. Looks perfect for that usecase.
I don't think vaccines are a miracle. They're not certain, but that doesn't make them miracles.

The exit strategy should be to enough of a lock-down to get rates very low. This would likely have to be combined with quick-turnaround testing and contact tracing. The US largely failed with this. Other countries show what an exit strategy could have looked like. I'm not sure if it's still viable, but maybe.

This is what I wanted a lock-down to bring us, and what maybe still could:

* Access to testing: This has improved a lot. In March and April, I knew people with symptoms who couldn't get tested. Last month, my partner found it easy to get tested.

* Quick-turn-around with testing: This still sucks. My partner's test in July was easy to get, but the earliest appointment was five days out and it was another five to get the results. This isn't good enough.

* Contact tracing: We still don't have this, at least in most places. I would love to install a contact tracing app on my phone, but there isn't one. Seems they're regional, and Texas/Austin hasn't bothered?

* A reduction in growth-rates due to social distancing: We got this! Daily growth rate dropped from 1.3+ in mid-March to 1.06-1.08 in mid-April. (I haven't looked recently, but I don't think this has lasted. Still, we were on track to hit 100k deaths by mid-April without this effect.)

* New information about how to prevent it: We got some important new information! Turns out surfaces aren't a big deal, and masks are. This is the opposite of what we were told early on, and knowing to wear masks (and more recently, not to use gaiters as masks) is a Big Deal.

* Improved treatments: Only thing I've seen is the "proning helps" thing a few months back.

* Vaccines: We've made a lot of progress. More than I think experts expected by now.

So, yeah, we currently seem to have no real exit strategy other than waiting for a vaccine, or for herd immunity. That doesn't mean it's rational to just exit without a strategy.

For now, I'm just going to stay mostly locked down until the vaccine happens or our government decides to step it up and do enough of the things listed above to get the spread under control. Not everyone can do this -- as another commenter mentioned, things that aren't urgent the first week will become so after a month, or six months, and these things are different for different people.

But as much as I liked going to the gym, I'm going to continue to forgo that.
Autodidact.

A better translation of the last sentence from Goethe runs "Here I sit, for all my lore, the wretched fool I was before."
If there is enough people who do or don't like something that can drive large swings in a stocks price regardless the fundamentals. A few very recent examples would be TSLA and BYND.
Perhaps France - Germany is a better analogy. The point being that events from nearly 70 years ago don't need to automatically taint relationships.
