It won’t be just a year or two. This is going to have long term repercussions. Basically everyone from the age of 5 to 22 will have a year or two of missing education. We’re losing tons of immigrants and non-immigrant foreign workers, of the latter many of which are doctors or advanced degree holders. Many Chinese are simply leaving the U.S. on their own accord, even if they aren’t caught up in the travel bans or other such issues, because life is better for them in China right now. Many businesses are gone and won’t come back. Nearly everything in the U.S. is happening in slow motion. Everything takes at least twice as long as it did.

People act as if even if Trump is voted out and a vaccine suddenly appears, that everything will turn back on. No. Not only have things been delayed during Trump’s presidency and during the pandemic, they have explicitly regressed. The government has basically been shutdown for the past four years, just bleeding money and limping along, and that’s especially true for the past eight months or so. This is not a one or two year thing. We’re talking multi-years if not decades of reverberations.
I have an onyx boox note 2 and like it quite a bit, but note taking only really works on the built-in app, play store apps that support handwriting input are not responsive enough so it's a very glitchy experience. The stock note taking app is a pleasure to use, at least, and it is nice to be able to install and use a variety of e-book store/reader apps natively.

Fringe, Stargate, Stargate Atlantis (though Rodney's constant yelling gets annoying, sort of like Scott Bakula's of Enterprise; neither are great actors). Dark Matter is good too, but it ends abruptly after 3 seasons without an ending.

Fringe gets a little lame/silly when the alternate universe starts getting featured in the later seasons, but at least it does have an actual ending.

I really hate that aspect of the new TV programming models: studios don't even have the courtesy to write a few "wrap up" episodes at the end. Instead, they show a preview of the next season, then have no problem with just canceling it.
that's really interesting. thanks for the relevant anecdote.

I agree that HJKL is really uncomfortable for a new user. I still reverse J and K sometime, as my brain thinks "the first key should be Up".

I guess the thinking is, if you open up some existing document, youre already at the top, so the more important key is going down, which the "J" sits right under your index finger.

I totally agree that its awkward, but I also feel that if you can get good with it, youll be way faster than using the arrow keys. Think about it like this: with the arrow keys, you must move your hand. With HJKL, you dont have to move your hand from the home row.
Was just about to say this. My equity funds are back to ≈85% before pandemic on average. One of them is better than before it. And that is coming from a very highly valued market due for a correction for years.
In the 30s they hired people to build stuff. They hired artists to create public art as well - Woody Guthrie was paid to write songs, for example.

We definitely could do similar now. Lots of infrastructure needs updating. We could accelerate the move to green energy (like the Green New Deal proposal). We could also hire a lot of people to do contact tracing until the end of the pandemic - this could include folks to do datamining, etc.
Getting discounts for habits that reduce healthcare costs is not unusual, gym membership or health coaching sessions are already incentivized and you get some money reimbursed.
These are one-size-fits-all, the amount of discount is not personalized.

I'm not an insurance expert, but I think services like this, that generate personal data over time, pose the risk of calculating the individual insurance risk much better if the insurance underwriter can evaluate this data on an ongoing basis. It has the potential to skew the risk distribution for all other insurance members in the pool including premium adjustments for people who are not handing over their data.
I think we're saying the same thing :)

The government provides money to people (how can change, new deal style job corps or stimulus checks, etc), and now they have money to spend in businesses, the businesses can hire more people, and there goes the flywheel again.
I agree completely! And this shows up in just about any language because of that — however — I kinda get where the author is coming from.

When a certain amount of state is encapsulated within a single actor (or a single message for that matter) you can act on all of it sorta transactionally since no other actor has access.

This is probably more power/control than some programers have had in other languages or paradigms.

Your full program state dosn't retain this property once it spans actors but what can ya do.

I wouldn't trust Amazon or any other tech giant with data about my emotions, that information is more personal to me than the contents of my day to day conversations or any other biometrics they might be scraping. What an unimaginable panopticon we are entering into.

But in a dream world, I would love a device that could help me map out my emotional state over time. My emotional health is a huge component to my well being. I currently manually keep an offline journal of my mood daily and use it to better understand myself, offloading that to a passive monitor would be great.

Agreed, and I think VRAs sum up the futility of trying to prepare for terrorism. Yes we now have a few concrete blocks around a few specific areas in a few city centres to make everyone feel better, but that article lists 28 notable VRA attacks in the last 10 years in the _whole world_. The attack surface is impossibly large, and no amount of "law enforcement communication, SWAT training, and bomb detection" is going to reduce it.

Launch costs are only a fraction of the cost. The cost of a space telescope itself is massive, regardless of launch cost. The James Webb telescope is massively over budget but even it’s original $1 billion cost and 10 year build time is much more than many ground based observatories would have costed at the time. Currently it’s cost is about x10 it’s original estimate and 14 years late, partially because it’ll be on its own once it’s launched.

On the ground, $1 billion or less buys you an extraordinarily large telescope such as a 40 metre mirror or a distributed array. These are needed to study very distant objects in detail and impossible to build in space.
> When it's a survey of many economists I tend to put stock in what comes out. In this case if 80% say there is a 25% chance of a second dip, thats a much more informed opinion than I could ever have on the subject.

Who do you think has a higher chance of being right:

* macroeconomists when predicting the future of the economy

* fund managers when predicting the future of stocks

Just because people are smart or know a lot of things doesn't mean that that knowledge translates into useful ability.
How would they legally pay out the prize money in countries where Huawei is sanctioned?
Disagree, if I make a factory in China that generates some ugly clouds so you can't see your beautiful sky anymore, then if you complain I give you a discount on my airlines so you can fly above the clouds and see the sky for the first time. It could happen if we let companies pollute for free.

Eloquent JavaScript and the You Don't Know JavaScript series are my favourite books. Both available for free online.

Depends on what you want to do. For work, yes React is king and has an absolutely huge ecosystem built around it. For fun? I'd look into Svelte, fixes a lot of the pain points of React and Vue. Also the Javascript DOM API has come a long way itself and IMO, while a library/framework is helpful if you're building a complex web app with lots of states, the great majority of websites out there don't need a framework and can be built statically with something like Eleventy.

Very, very few of those users had a choice in the first place. Few apps have both ad-supported and premium versions in the first place (especially not the big ones - you literally can't pay for a Facebook subscription), and extremely few users were even aware of the trade-off that existed. Some premium apps (e.g. YouTube Red) engage in data harvesting anyway.

Apple did not take a choice away - they just changed the only option.
and then there is the new firefox for android which decided to just remove the scroll bar entirely in its new tab list. so if you have lets say the now usual amount of open tabs, you don't have any idea where or how far along in the list you are. i wonder what the reasoning behind that was?
I recently bought the ReMarkable 1 (wasn't willing to wait for preorder on the 2, and the differences don't look that significant). I kinda love it: I'm a professor, and 99% of my use is in reading article PDFs---it's a vastly better experience than reading on an eyestrain-inducing glossy screens or printing off.

One major annoyance, though, is that it's clunky to switch between documents---I like to take notes in a separate document from the articles (mainly so I don't have to deal with the hassle of trying to export marked-up PDFs, which is a very suboptimal experience---the ios/mac apps are, uh, not good.). There's a pretty big lag there.

But the reading experience qua reading is so much nicer that I keep it anyway.

I don’t believe that is accurate. Harvey’s winds caused little to no damage to Houston. Harvey was a rain event, not a wind event. Laura would have been a wind event, not a rain event.
> how many function types does Rust have again? Three?).

Depending on what you meant, there are more than three:

* There are 3 traits, used by closures depending on their needs:
* Fn(Args) -> Output
* FnMut(Args) -> Output
* FnOnce(Args) -> Output
* *Every* `fn` is its own type (`fn() {foo}`)
* Function pointers (`fn()`), which is how you pass the above around in practice

> Rust is very much procedural.

I think this is like saying Python is very much procedural: true, but loses some nuance. Rust has some attributes of OOP, some attributes of FP. Some constructs from OOP and FP are made harder once you involve borrowing. Saying it is procedural conjures images of Pascal and K&R C in people's minds. To bolster your argument, though, I mostly use method chaining for iterators but every now and then I need to turn it into a `for` loop to keep the lifetimes understandable for the compiler, myself and others.

Any word on if it's possible to use it for the sleep function only and have that data not sent to the cloud? Sounds like wishful thinking. For $65, a device that can collect good sleep data and has a temperature monitor seems really nice. The closest thing I've found is the Oura ring which you're lucky if you can get a used one for $200.

Perhaps we'll have to wait for Apple to announce their (hopefully) inevitable "health app" offering. I'm hopeful that they'll be smart about making something privacy-centric.

This sounds like a great way to cause social anxiety. It's also a very poor excuse for data harvesting. People are going to love it, this thing is going to sell like crazy.
The fear is more destructive to the economy than the virus.

Every dumb "safety" measure that's put into place removes us further from normalcy. Every "wear a mask" social media post further spreads fear of the virus. The mainstream media using the same fear-mongering techniques they have for decades (surge/spike, young person dies, rare long term complications) creating public fear for viewership.

There are too many people profiting from Covid-19 and they have incentive to keep the fear flowing. If you want the economy back you need to get past the fear and ignore those who attempt to profit from it.

EDIT: Flagged huh? Yeah places like HN also profit from the fear and so do the "wear a mask!" social media posters that profit (in the form of upvotes and eyballs) from the virus. The flagging proves my point, sorry about the truth :-)
>so a feature with 3nm width

Sigh, another post... another top comment not understanding that marketing name =/= any actual feature size anywhere on the chip.

I've been reading threads like this for 10+ years now, and somehow this knowledge has still not permeated the tech culture here and on reddit.
That’s worse than pretty much any NLP system from 1975
Users don't have much choice in which ad streams they see. Publishers had the choice and seemed indifferent, but it feels weird to blame users for turning on a feature and not noticing a difference when that feature didn't work because most publishers failed to act on that feature / make it a requirement of their ad buys.
> Those are real, but minor issues. Increased density also brings good externalities, like more services, retail etc.

Not necessarily. Just because you add a residential tower that doesn't mean you'll get a grocery store in its ground floor. If the urban plan specifies high-density residential area then all you can expect is residential buildigs.
r/homeserver for those looking at single system or less intensive setups.
>> ... it does not correlate in any way with all other Xnm production of other companies.

True. But it should be significantly better/smaller than TSMC 5nm which is claimed to be 1.85x density over TSMC 7nm, which they are using now to make a chip with 59 Billion transistors.

The only other players to compare to are Intel and Samsung.
I noticed the usage of computers changed drastically over years. When I started last millennium it was normal for people to have large amount of installed tools with large amount of customizations.

I have a bunch of custom-compiled software with options for my specific needs, and my two main computers (PC and a laptop) have both huge history of various workaround that I don't even remember any longer and would have to research all of them again. I also have a bunch of Virtualbox VMs. These are a Windows VM configured for remote work, couple Linux VMS with configurations for embedded development (I do ARM development). I have one dedicated to Matlab, Simulink and LabView and host of plugins and customizations.

While keeping dotfiles and scripts is easy (I just have a repository on bitbucket) I would still have to spend a day or two just getting everything in order and probably much more to get these VMS for embedded development which is just full of workarounds for various problems.

As a contractor paid by the hour I am aware of my hourly rate and this helps me put things in perspective. Once you calculate the value of services and tools what seemed expensive frequently becomes dirt cheap when you factor time saved or risk averted.

For backup I keep USB docking station and two 4TB HDDs. I try to keep one of them at a different site. I also keep a copy on an online service mostly for convenience but also as another layer of protection.

That's regular legal speak.
Exactly. Modern day comet/asteroid hunters are taking images from night after night and treating them like time lapses to see what dots are moving. Removing these dots to fill in the void left by the satellite streaks sets this method of detection back to unusable/unreliable. Even filling in the removed satellite streaks in an image with data from previous/next images totally invalidates the tracking of objects in motion.
I think what he is saying is, don't buy a cheap-ass Dell that runs Windows 10S, then expect to be development powerhouse where all the hardware works properly. He is suggesting buying a developer-oriented laptop that is designed and supported to be running Linux. You'll have less weird hardware quirks that way.
How accurate were those same economists with their previous predictions? Were they more accurate than random people off the street?
Where does it say transcribing? To me it sounds like it is processing voice on device into emotion markers and only the emotion markers are send to amazon. So the actual voice information would never leave the device. I do think anything else would not be possible legally because you'd need to have consent from every stranger you have a discussion with, moreso what about trade secret meetings. I can't fathom Amazon would go that way.
Sure, their assets are somewhat fungible in both time and space so long as they meet liquidity regulations.

Regardless, the point is that they can't poof money for themselves like the Fed, or another central bank, can. They can increase the economy's supply of money effectively, but that is different from having direct power over monetary supply.
Literally nothing more than a marketing "group name" for a family of processes, none of which have any dimension approaching 3nm.

Hmm, researchers with the 'National University of Defense Technology' propound on the benefits of offloading encryption/decryption to a separate processor/FPGA on the Network Interface Card. Just for speed, I'm sure!
I'm more a back end developer myself, but have really enjoyed Vue. My recommendation would be to try a few basic intros to Vue, but try to avoid the ones that want to get you set up with a whole bunch of command-line tools to compile/pack/whatnot the project. (Those can feel quite daunting to start with, and are actually not necessary if the size of your project doesn't require it.)

Just include Vue from CDN as a script tag.

And if you want a jump-start with ready-made components and good styling, I can also recommend Buefy - https://buefy.org/documentation - like Vue, it can also be included with a simple script tag, without any command line tools.
I've also found about a 10-point discrepancy. There's a huge difference between 15% and 25% bf.. one is approaching athletic while the other is obese.

DXA is definitely less convenient, but there's no real reason to test your bf% daily (just like weighing yourself daily isn't productive, you need to look at average changes over time). Considering the amount of time it takes to significantly change your bf%, twice a year testing would be plenty.. and would probably cost you the same amount as this subscription service.
