> BTW: This lady has a Masters from MIT. She def knows her way around things.

I agree with all of what you said until you bought up this unnecessary credential wrapper. It leaves a bad taste - statements like this. I don't know why. Going to MIT is doesn't make you an automatic genius nor does it mean that they know their way around things. It bothers me.
I have had a kind of struggle to bring up kids while being in the skizophrenic spectrum And providing the income as a dev.

But my approach has always been:

1. Read every day and spice it up with my own freaky tales of spiderman, witches, jungles etc. My dad used to do the same and my kids like it a lot.

2. Be outside in all weather and all times. Nothing hits jumping in pools of water with or without boots. We dig a lot in a nearby field of dirt, making caves and talking about materials etc.
Also we like fishing crabs and making bonfires year around.

Being outside is the only place i am at piece with my sickened head so it also means they get to spend time with "not stressed dad"

3. We draw a lot, have paper and drawing stuff everywhere. We hang them up and talk about them.

4. Recently we have begun to make simple "turtle drawing" programs together to show them how fun it is that if you can instruct a computer to draw one tree you can also tell it to draw 100 different trees of different size and colors.

5. We talk a lot and we never "dumb it down" instead i spin the history stories or the science stuff i like to talk baout so they get intrugued .

The outcome: they are happy. I value their happyness as its sadly not the feeling i wear.
My sadness is not invisible to them but the time we spend together and my openness about it has not yet had a negative impact on them.

They are also very socially engaged and thoughtful which i hope is as well connected to the many different types of people, from all layers of society, that they see me talking to.
Two other possible reasons:-
1. Buffett might be expecting US inflation to devalue the dollar.
2. He raised debt in Japan at 0% interest and is getting an approx 3% return by investing in these relatively stable companies.

I've had an Apple TV for about 2 years. Last year I bought a Chromecast (against my better judgement) for my parents because their "smart" TV apps are awful. I would've bought them an Apple TV but they didn't want me spending that much on them, unfortunately.

But long story short, like you're saying the Apple TV's UX is on another level from the (previous) Chromecast since it lacks its own UI and controls. It's definitely one of the painpoints that I've noticed my parents having difficulty with.

Whereas Apple TV has an easy to use UI (other than individual streaming apps sometimes making their own media player UI, like Disney+ and Amazon Prime, which are awful).
Cool. I'll remove it. Not necessary for the narrative.
Yes! More government regulations are exactly what I want to deal with at work. There aren't nearly enough.
Preact is one of the very smallest frameworks. A full-fledged Vue bundle is ten times that size, and Angular is another 2x Vue's size. When I said "twice as long" I meant on average: taking some framework X and adding another framework Y.
If not an "enemy", a competitor. Apple has Apple TV, Google has YouTube Originals of course but I see Google partnering with Netflix much more than I see Apple doing so
It's somewhat dangerous, but you can always replace dupes with links that work in your filesystem. Lustre, IIRC, supports hard links. I'm not sure whether GPFS does that, but I don't see any reason for that. If that fails, symlinks should work. The Python environment directories shouldn't be writable anyway.
> Type hints are cute, but as other remarked, they are glorified comments. Mypy worked without them in 2.x . Not saying it’s bad to have them, but that it is cosmetic.

Thus assertion is simply outright wrong. Type hints were standardized and, albeit optional, they provide a fixed target for implementations to provide the same service in a perfectly interoperable way.

You might not see their point because you chose to not follow best practices, but others among us are very glad Python finally added official support for those.

There are many things that show up on HN that have names I don't recognize. When this happens, I'm excited! I get to learn about something I didn't know about before.

A simple Google search for "Snowflake" will immediately answer your question - both by the company being the top result, and by Google conveniently including a card with an overview of the company.

There's also plenty of stuff that shows up on HN that I don't care about because it's not relevant to me, but that doesn't mean it isn't relevant to the rest of the community.
Is that the case? Or is Google TV an app that you click from the Android TV home screen? I thought in this context Google TV is more akin to Prime Video or The Roku Channel. Can you escape the Google TV app and get back to the old Android TV launcher? Can you install the new Google TV app as an app on older Android TV, or is it an OS upgrade?

Maybe the line is so blurred between shell/launcher and app now that its a distinction without merit. They can just keep nesting shells inside apps recursively, ad infinitum.

I have the Google TV app on my phone already (the Movies & TV app auto updated.)
You should compare persons/km2 for each person really. E.g. median amount of people in a 10 km circle around each person or w/e. Having a lot of empty forest doesn't help much.

I can't find any such data though.

My TV also came with such buttons and it’s one of the reasons I absolutely refuse to use that remote.
Although I think we differ in terms of our sentiment, I'm really glad to see a plausible hypothesis about the proximate motivation for Brian's decision posted.

Erica's theory that this is a way of trimming payroll while eliminating personnel Brian sees as problematic seems to fit all the facts about the pressures Brian and Coinbase are feeling right now.

While I'm not sure this will turn out to be a bad thing for the world, it's a lot clearer why now & why Coinbase with this in mind.
I own an JBL charge 2. These are probably aimed for people who prefer high bass over a balanced sound (balanced they are not). Worst- the bluetooth connection is unstable even in direct sight, within 5-20 cm, with android/mac/raspberry. I realize everyone has different tastes but I would not recommend JBL.

I ask as someone who genuinely doesn't know either way, but is there a realistic risk of this happening again?

This is what insurers already do. Using whatever information they can get on all their anticipated customers, they make it so the expected value of your costs is less than the expected value of all your payments. Going purely by expected value, insurance is a losing game for the customer.

The reasons it's a great idea are (1) you don't get to borrow from your future savings account's balance, and (2) insurers often encourage not-totally-rational customers to practice better habits to reduce costs. The first point is what customers want: avoidance of bankruptcy.

Sweden flattened the curve and did it without authoritarian lockdowns. So of course lockdown proponents are upset.

This desire to have the government force people and businesses to shut down is unnerving. Are people seriously this susceptible to authoritarianism when they are scared?

The goal is to flatten the curve. We did it. Sweden did it. Why are people so happy to dunk on Sweden because Sweden didn’t follow authoritarian ideas?
Google's Pixel 5 Event
Side note -- I do wish iOS would get ahead with Bluetooth and WebRTC support, both of which I use heavily on my (private) HTML5 apps.

Push notifications would be necessary for a complete feature set too, although I don't really use them for my private apps since I disable almost all push notifications on my phone.

By what metric?

The metric that matters to me is this: what was the death rate, per capita, in a country during the entire duration of the pandemic?

Since the pandemic is not over yet, and may not be over for another year or even more, it is far to early to tell. We may still be in the first half of the duration of the pandemic.
A good example would be to take a look at the Pinkertons.

You can view code that assumes a little endian system or eight bit bytes as a bug, or you can see it simply as making reasonable assumptions. In the end programming always is about making assumptions and reducing scope to prevent an explosion of complexity.

>What doesn't really line up is that mobility quickly rose again, up to around -25% and then -15% from base line, without a corresponding increase in cases, deaths, or hospitalizations. It dipped again, and then went back up, and is now hovering closer to -10%.

If I go to that mobility stat and plug in a bunch of other countries they almost all look the same and Sweden is no outlier. That is also true for the lack of increasing deaths which is nowhere to be seen compared to the first wave.

So either everyone is doing what Sweden does or Sweden is doing what everyone else does, depending on your perspective I suppose.

> argument they're making here is a little subtle, but it tracks.
[ ... ] They're claiming Google will offer biometrically-based signal as an ad discrimination channel

It's not impossible that that would happen, but it would be a departure from current behavior. To some degree, Google is selective about what data does and doesn't feed into ad targeting.

Examples:

(1) Emails are sensitive, and Gmail messages are off limits: "Google does not use keywords or messages in your inbox to show you ads. Nobody reads your email in order to show you ads." (https://safety.google/privacy/ads-and-data/)

(2) Drive/Docs/Sheets/Slides (if I'm interpreting this right): "We will not use your content for marketing or promotional campaigns." (https://www.google.com/drive/terms-of-service/)

And they've already stated they don't use health data: "We do not show ads based on sensitive information or interests, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation, health, or sensitive financial categories." (https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/140378)

It is very reasonable to ask how your data might be used or misused. But the scenario here supposes that Google will change its general pattern of behavior and go against what it publicly said.
What for? It hasn't been killing no one officially for months (less than common cold) and the numbers were fudged from March to May. That's why they talk about cases now. Vaccines takes over a decade for a reason! And are generally a bad idea anyways.

Meanwhile, you have no liberties and can't do anything anymore. World wide! Destroying small business while their companies thrive.

I've always thought the whole Sweden debate is kind of pointless, because there seems to be some implicit assumption that what's true for Sweden would be true for any other country if they adopted the same policy. And that assumption is pretty clearly false, isn't it? They're relatively sparse, they are disciplined, they listen to and trust recommendations. Relatively.

And also, isn't it also true that Sweden is also somewhat limited in their ability to impose regulations on their population?

So it's kind of pointless in both directions - "Sweden should have locked down a lot more", well maybe they weren't even able to, and "We should have done what Sweden did", well, if we had, the results might have been a lot worse.

Books about everything and instill a fierce love of them. Sci-fi, how-to, science, classic literature.. I grew up this way and my mum was proud of me even if she couldn't participate, it was enough.
Note that “corporate power” here actually refers to primarily to labor unions which operated in coordination with capital of the Catholic corporatist social doctrine, which was a major ideology of the late 19th and early-to-mid-20th century, competing against both capitalist opposition to labor organization and socialist approaches to labor organization.
The story on how I discovered, fell in love and abandoned Event Sourcing
"It's not the compiler" is always a good first-approximation. And then bizarre things happen..

I ran into this with MSVC just a few months back. After an update of the compiler, a bizarre display issue emerged with lines criss-crossing the screen. Turning off optimizations to debug made the problem go away. Eventually tracked down the issue to the following line of code:

if (abs(delta.y) > abs(delta.x)) { …

changing this to:

bool yDominant = abs(delta.y) > abs(delta.x);
if (yDominant) { …

fixed the problem. Yikes!

I don't know if they fixed the optimization in question by now.

Yes. If the numbers creep up past a certain point, you roll back. Or you do like Sweden and just let free citizens make their own decisions.
> But in the end if you're dissatisfied with your company and you know that there's a fundamental ideological incompatibility it probably makes more sense to just quit, especially when you're a software dev and you can probably find some other job fairly easily.

While true that you could find "some other job" - it likely won't be a job that pays as well or has some other detestable attribute. If you have a pathological disagreement with companies collecting lots of data - you're going to have a hard time finding a company paying you $400k+/yr as an IC software dev.

If you're not wealthy (bought real estate before the big boom) or come from a family of wealth (they bought you a house) - you're going to have hard time in many cities only going with companies that you can find almost no ideological incompatibility with. And, turns out, a lot of these major cities that are very expensive also happen to have most of the job listings. God forbid you move to BFE and the few places that hire ICs stop hiring. You'll have to upheave your entire life and move - or pray you can find a suitable remote job.

Like most of us - you sacrifice your ideology because it isn't compatible with living in a capitalistic world and you've decided you're also not ready to be a martyr. You stand to lose a lot in the developed world (as you start with a lot more than those in less developed places) - martyrdom isn't worth it then. Only when you're independently wealthy can you truly make decisions based on your ideology. Making the presumption here that everyone wants a middle class to upper middle class American lifestyle (SFH, 2 cars, live in a somewhat desirable area, kids, retirement savings, etc.).
No real point in comparing case counts at such different times though. The previous peak was right when tests finally had opened up for essentially everyone in the Stockholm and some other regions starting from the first week of June. Previously only severely ill and essential workers could get tested.

The current case count is when everyone in the entire country can get tested without question. People at work having some easy sniffles get sent home and tested the same or next day to not have to substitute them for weeks on end.

The ICU and fatalities rate had already been peaked in early April and correlating the actual spread to those numbers the number of cases already have been trending down for some time.

Swedish public health agency data: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6...

Also keep in mind, for the Swedish data the PHA takes time to have every case and death be allocated to the correct date, and not when they got the report.
Yeah, the scrolljacking performance on Linux Firefox it atrocious for me.

Uber’s investors cannot earn returns on the $13 billion they have invested without achieving levels of market dominance that would allow them to exploit anti-competitive market power. The growth of Uber is entirely explained by massive predatory subsidies that have totally undermined the normal workings of both capital and labor markets.
That's only true if nothing changes. Discovering that dexamethasone can reduce mortality means that from that point onward the area under the curve is reduced. Once we have a viable vaccine again the area is reduced. Given the economic impact Sweden is facing they have the worst of both options.
Thanks for pointing it out. I did not know about this feature.
Is that a fingerprint scanner on the back? My Pixel 4 doesn't have a fingerprint scanner and its a pain in the ass to use the face unlock (especially now because of covid).
We are freaking lucky that COVID’s death rate is by the lower end of all the estimates. If the actual rate was closer to what Italy was seeing, or even a smaller fraction of thst, Sweden would have had far more dead.

If you think that was luck, then you didn't understand the difference between CFR and IFR.

The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is the fraction of reported cases that result in death. This is easier to measure. And if you're sick enough to become a reported case, it is the best back of the envelope estimate of how likely you are to die.

The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) is the fraction of infected people that will die. For estimating how many will wind up dead if you hit herd immunity, that is the relevant figure. It is also harder to produce.

Early on we were seeing CFRs in the 5-10% range. That is the figure that you remember

But the first estimates of the IFR was an analysis of the Diamond Princess. It estimated an IFR of around 0.5%. In late March, Fauci reported that it was about 1%. Both estimates had significant error bars. The figures that Neil Ferguson used in his model was in the same range. All of this happened while we saw CFRs in the 5-10% range.

And therefore there should have been no surprise from the beginning that the CDC estimate of the IFR for the Spring would come out where it did, 0.65%.
Its interesting how people focus on Sweden as a 'success story', which had a high death rate and a second wave is not out of the question yet. While people ignore the countries that were hit first, like Italy, Spain and Belgium who had horrific death rates too. Are they not success stories for not doing anything either?
