Nova AutoML: A New Architecture for Predictive Insights
We're starting to see just how misguided the US was by not taking lockdown seriously early on and pushing to keep the economy going despite the long-term risks to mortality and commerce.

Here we are months later, and ground zero for the epidemic seems to largely be operating business-as-usual while the US is still seeing ~1k deaths per day as we approach flu season. I was watching an Aussie rules football game the other day and they're allowing fans back in the stands. I couldn't dream of going to a sports event in many areas of the US right now.

So wait. You can fully get rid of it using a set of shell commands? How is this not Linux?
Why are Mozilla clearly so closely involved in the announcement of the creation of a foundation? To be honest it does come across that the desire to state that there is distance between Rust and Mozilla somewhat exceeds the actual distance. Certainly it's understandable, based on this language, that GP understood the moment of separation to be more "now" than "several years ago".

A few months ago I was imagining having a square matrix representation for fractions/attenuation of viral loads (e.g. per week) being transferred among a large population. I pictured a sum of isolated groups, after a sort, causing this larger matrix to be composed of a set of on-diagonal square submatrices.

Regarding "hybrid" compositors, I believe there used to be a few that had an "un-redirect fullscreen windows" feature that essentially did what you're suggesting. I think there was some sort of difficulty with doing this for regular/non-fullscreen windows and still having a consistent/smooth experience with the rest of the features you'd want out of a compositor.

These days, at least in KWin land, there's just an "allow applications to block compositing" feature that automatically disables compositing (globally) when it makes sense. I'm not sure exactly what rules trigger it (simply putting, say, FireFox, into fullscreen doesn't do it, but Dota 2 does), but it seems to work pretty well.

Knowing your BATNA is critical for negotiating anything, including employment.

One of the best ways to accomplish this is to avoid shopping for a job when you’re unhappy with the one you have; when your best alternative is “I keep working at the place I like with the people I’m on good terms with” it’s far easier to start from that no and let yourself be convinced.
I fall in and out of the habit, but if you're in a high-volume-of-email job and don't always keep up with your email throughout the day, I find making sure I've read all of the day's emails a good way to end the day.

Besides missing fewer emails (in an office, people will usually be like "hey, did you see my email?"), it also gives me a chance to stop thinking about programming-related tasks and provides a little sense of accomplishment at the end of the day which is sometimes lacking when said programming-related tasks aren't going well.

You could just as easily say that Gates advanced the progress of the internet by driving the price of PCs down so that more people owned them.

It’s also reasonable to say that these decisions were a major reason why Microsoft lost their dominant position.

Gates is rich, but he lost his power over the software industry over this.
My team and I have been doing some thinking on the mobile app release process. It's such a necessary part of the overall mobile development lifecycle, but it often seems overlooked: having been through hundreds of mobile releases ourselves, we realized we had never paused to think about what the end-to-end process actually entails.

So, we tried to capture it all in writing. It's a high-level piece aimed at the entire cross-disciplinary mobile team (not just engineers!) and other stakeholders.

We'd love to hear your thoughts! Does anything stand out to you? Have we forgotten or overemphasized any steps in the process? How does your team ship apps?
What I learned from losing a high school mock presidential election
Andy at Backblaze here. To put a pin in it, the three main factors for which drives we use are cost, availability and reliability. We have control over reliability as our systems are designed to deal with drive failure. That leaves the market to decide on cost and availability. Assuming a competitive market we can buy the drives that optimize those factors.

This has been a valuable thought experiment for me.
Not at all. Try to write equations using English words instead of "cryptic characters" and think which is more expressive, eg:

Bezos has vastly more power than AOC. His decisions affect the lives of 840,000 direct employees and at least as many again - I'm not sure the figures even exist - "freelance" content suppliers, small businesses, and casual workers.

His tax avoidance policies have a significant impact on the budgets of the larger Western countries.

AOC has a media profile, but - so far - almost no influence at all on US policy. That may change in the future, but given that the Dem Establishment seem to consider her a dangerous extremist, it's possible she'll be sidelined into becoming her generation's powerless token left-leaning icon.

An additional measure that is effective at keeping people isolated but that would be unthinkable in the West where even tracing apps raise issues:

Everyone has an app that displays a QR code to identify them. Then, they put people at the entrance of buildings, buses, etc. whose job is to scan everyone.
This is not only a track and trace technique because the tablets of the people doing the scanning are linked to a central database in real-time: If you're listed at risk, when they scan you their screen will display an alert, they will prevent you from getting in the building, on the bus, etc., and the authorities will immediately know that you are not self-isolating as told.

Basically, if you're told to self-isolate you have no choice.

> There's a lot to be said for property taxes. Taxes on income and wealth are disincentives for things you wnt more of. Property tax is one of the least destructive of taxes.

Yeah but a wealth tax is not the same as a property tax, because unlike land, wealth is not zero-sum, it's created. In fact, the most economically efficient property tax is the Georgist Land Value Tax which typically deducts the appraised value of improvements before applying the tax, because we don't want to tax productive improvement of land.

Taxing wealth OTOH has the effect of taxing the productive creation of wealth. It's like an inverse Land Value Tax, where you allow one to deduct the value of the underlying land, but simply levy a tax on the appraised value of improvements, just because one might be improving the land "too much".

Also, property taxes are unconstitutional at the Federal level. This is why there is no such thing as a Federal property tax, today. If we wanted a Federal wealth tax, we would have to amend the Constitution.
If you're investing in a business venture, the distributed systems talent doesn't matter nearly as much as their ability to build and maintain a successful business without it falling over.

Geez, the article reads like an amazing success story for wealth taxes. Each year only an insignificant portion of your wealth is taken, but over the course of your career a substantial portion of your acquired wealth goes back to the community that helped make you wealthy.

And then in the last paragraph he dismisses the idea with a lazy argument that the profit motive is singularly important to the economy.

The human population isn’t expanding much at all.

In 1950 there were 2.5 billion humans, today there are 7.7 billion, but by the end of the century there will only be ~11 billion.

And at that point, most humans alive will be working age or older (approximately ~3.5 working age adults for every U15).

A lack of human population growth will be one of the defining economic issues this century, with a chance at unfortunately solving the issue of rising incomes at the same time.

Not even close. The only case I could see it happening was if you purposefully exfiltrated data and sold it, or got some sort of personal gain out of it.

It's the same thing with PCI. They say you can go to jail for violations but exactly 0 people have ever been prosecuted, despite constant negligence in the payment industry.

Synology DS1019+

It might not be the cheapest, but 4+1 drives is more efficient than 3+1. Currently I have three 8TB drives: 1xWD Red and 2xIronwolfs (wolves?) with one running as parity (SHR). No complaints. It does everything I need it to do. The interface is simple and everything "just works" as anticipated. If/when I run out of space I plan on adding another 2x8TB drives, probably more ironwolves.

I wouldn't go bigger than 8TB as they already take DAYS to add to the array.

I'm not familiar with either J or NumPy.

I have no idea what the first line does in either of these examples. And the fact that NumPy uses an English word, axis, as a named argument means nothing at all to me

I think it is an exaggeration to say that the NumPy is any clearer to the uninitiated than the J. Once one has learnt J then surely it is as easy to read as the NumPy? The NumPy just looks easier because the syntax is more familiar.
Take-Two Interactive acquires Two Dots maker for $192m
On re-examination of what you wrote I think I misinterpreted this sentence:

"everyone who have a physical key I keep within a reasonable distance from me that is incredibly hard to copy and has my password"

I took (hard to copy and has my password) to be properties you were giving the physical key, but in fact I see the correct interpretation was that "and has my password" is an adjunct to the properties of this hypothetical attacker who now needs to steal the key.

> The question if billionaires are bad for society is pretty much the same question as asking if the aristocracy was bad for previous societies

I think the main difference is that aristocracy was zero sum and rent seeking where billionaires aren’t necessarily (and with recent tech ones not) zero sum. Bezos having a billion dollars doesn’t limit anyone else from having a billion dollars.

Only the king was allowed to hunt in the king’s forest. Aristocracy owning 50% of land (or whatever) means no else could own it and more land wasn’t (usually) created.

If someone is king, then that means no one else can be.

There’s some similarities with aristocracy, especially with generation after generation. But theoretically we have estate taxes and laws against perpetuity that help some and could be prevented.

Perhaps half of billionaires are “self made” [0]. I don’t like that term, but I wish we had “how many billionaires weren’t born to millionaires?”

But Bill Gates being born to a middle class lawyer and making billions is very different from Bill Gates being born to the Earl of Orkney and selling all the potatoes in Ireland to make billions.
