one doesn't work at startups to maximize your earnings. you work at a startup because the pay is sufficient for your goals and its work you want to do (ex: because you really believe in the product, you feel you can grow in ways you couldn't in large companies / have impact or control in ways you can't in lage companies or perhaps others).

If either of those 2 things aren't true, you probably shouldn't choose to work at a startup over a large established company.

Will they stay active with E6 planes continuously in the air until the president recovers?
I contributed to this spike. I wanted to make sure I didn't mangle the spelling in my FB & reddit posts regarding President Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis. In case anyone is wondering, the gist of my posts was this:
"For all the poetic justice or schadenfreude one may feel right now, this is really a very bad development."
Virtual money is everywhere, there seem to be many computer games, online gambling systems and on and offline card trading systems, vouchers and points systems. All of which can be traded without any heavy KYC/AML. It would be interesting to know where the line is drawn as Bitmex only trades in Bitcoin for Bitcoin.
For some reason the 30 day window only currently shows data up to and including September 29th.
Time is a concept of the mind, like numbers. It is conditioned by the shared environment (has distinct cycles) in which mind has been evolved.

There is no notion of time in the brain because it is not absolute constraint of the environment.

There is no notion of time at the level of molecular biology, organs, systems, etc.
While almost everyone is "probably fine" after he is in a risk age group at 74.

Being overweight and not eating healthy is only going to make it riskier.

He will have world class treatment, though. But it's still a roll of the dice at that age.
Not really. The IFR has trended downwards fairly dramatically over time - it's the rapidity and novelty of the spread which is driving deaths in an extremely (and I don't use that word lightly, it is extreme) stratified by age manner.

If the vaccine doesn't work, you'd seriously never consider going back to normal ever, in your entire lifetime? That's absurd.

It's rather concerning that people like you are pinning all your hopes on a vaccine. I don't know about you, but at some point living a life with such restrictions and a complete halt or threat to halt many of the things that make life interesting becomes a trade-off that's not worth making. If a vaccine does not work to protect the elderly particularly well, would you seriously be willing to close international borders for the next 5-10 years, for example? Even worse, since there's zero endpoint to anything if you are unwilling to tolerate life as normal without a vaccine, why not just extend all restrictions indefinitely?
Then pick all the data.

Of course it is. Even if we actually start sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere – which would require investments in the order of trillions of dollars – the damage has been done.

This was my initial thought too but it is tempered by the "deals we passed on" meme that is prevalent in VC circles. A VCs perception of the best companies is not based on reality. Like a gambler a VC has no idea whether their bet is the right one until much later. Sure you can de-risk it based on previous exits of founder etc but the reality is every VC probably passes on more great companies than they invest in.
Just ignoring tasks isn't helpful, it means you still process things out of order and just never get to the previous pending item in that case.

Much easier to just have strict order and process it off the line as it comes.

Before we get too excited: How often do they do this? When was the last time?
Let me start with the first “fact” discussed.

That wind and solar are pretty much near max efficiency limits, so despite promises of big gains, there isn’t much to come.

They are right that there isn’t too much excitement about gains in efficiency. But the whole promise of big gains has nothing to do with efficiency but lowering costs. In fact, the highest efficiency solar panels aren’t even the most popular. The most popular ones have much lower efficiency than what we have managed to get because their cost per KWH is tremendous.

So yeah, there are still big gains expected because solar has seen price halving every few years and there is no reason that should stop anytime soon. The wind curve is flattening at this point but it’s already cheaper than existing coal in many places.

Next, yeah, the solution to storage isn’t to just build batteries. There are other options as well. And sure it may take 500 years for one factory to build the entire need they’ve suggested. Good thing we love in a global system where there are other countries and other companies that can build the same thing. What if we have 500 factories building batteries. You’d build enough capacity to cover the US in 1 year and enough to cover the world’s current energy needs in a few years. If every country built 5 or so factories to supply batteries weld have over a 1000 such factories. Countries spend far more money on other energy sources on an annual basis.

The 20 years and billions of dollars in subsidies are red herrings. That’s usually the case for most new technologies. How much money and time went into computing (since before WW2!) and it was only in the 80s and 90s that it became something available to the masses.

I’m not sure what a non renewable material is, but materials can be recycled and reused. And here’s something. Other sources of energy also need materials! Gas doesn’t just make it to our cars by floating through the air. There’s a lot of tech and machinery in the way.

Rare earth materials are not that rare. It’s only coming from outside the US because lack of environmental standards makes it marginally cheaper. If the US needed it could easily procure it by itself. Also I thought this was about energy powering the globe but the video is clearly a jingoistic America focused video. Also, the idea that materials coming from outside the US is a problem when the vast majority of fossil fuels also come from outside the US doesn’t really add up.

Yup. Child labor in developing countries is a huge problem. I’m not sure what this has to do with renewable energy considering it’s true for every industry.

Yup, we will need conventional energy to do a lot of stuff. Good thing we don’t need to go from 3% renewable to 100% overnight.

The waste argument is also nonsensical. It’s very easy to manage waste coming from large industrial efforts. The problem with waste is that it’s hard to manage waste when it’s small amounts coming from many sources which won’t be the case in case of wind and solar farms.

I can’t handle the last minute. The video is complete junk.
While support can be dropped without warning it's unlikely to happen once a phone gets ported to a LOS version. Usually it s just that the phone gets dropped when LOS drops that version. Hence the key thing to watch out is whether the developer is porting the phone to newer versions of LOS when they become available.

P.S. If/When they do and you use LOS be sure to tip LOS and the developer ;)

Cartels are only involved due to prohibition. If it were ended, it would be pharmaceutical (ie industrial chemical) companies selling the drugs.

Sigma-Aldrich and Bayer don't seem like terrorist organizations to me. Or perhaps I missed the headline where Pfizer was caught beheading people?
> just like gamblers in casinos they have no idea what they are doing

I follow all of the VCs on Twitter and it's very clear from their many, many tweets that they have a far superior intellect than the rest of us which allows them to divinely predict the future.

And between them and their diverse network of other 40 year old, white males they have a rich, deep understand of the customer's wants and needs. And from that they 'select' the startups that best aligns with this understanding.

I even believe that one day VCs will realise that they don't need founders and can just invest in each other. Keeping the prosperity moving.
Consensus on a carbon tax that is consistent with the marginal cost of abatement and staying below 2C is $50 or so per tonne by the late 2020s and up to $180 by 2050 to get all the way to net zero. The idea is that you set a tax that goes up predictably so that you incentivise capital decisions leading to emissions reductions over the life of the capital asset.

That might seem like a lot but based on US average consumption based emissions (production based emissions taxation is for chumps) that's $850 annually by the late 2020s. Of course, all or most of that can be returned to people through other tax reductions. I can't be the only one who looks at that number and thinks, "Is that fucking it? Jesus, just do it then."

The date becomes ambiguous, it just says "September 2020".
what is the meaning of "too late"? the planet will survive, the organisms will adapt, humanity will die so what? maybe some amebas will evolve into something more peaceful that the savages we have become.
I've had an idea for a while, coming from a developing continent, that it would be good to have an alternative for students where they can start working when they are doing an advanced degree, but also simply a place for high school students to acclimate to some of the aspects of the work place.

I know it sounds tangential, but this does resonate with my own roundabout way of going from studies -> work and the gross lack of fundamental science companies in Africa as a whole. I did not have depression, but rather my own cocktail of problems as a student, and a lot of it (at least for me) stemmed from clear dissonance between your current situation and an inability to anticipate a future self that is acceptable to your current self.

With depression, the situation is similar and more importantly, you become more and more subjective and people outside your situation are needed, as probably is medication, to bring you back to personal assonance with what you want in life.

The article doesn't say what the reasons were, so Wang may have had different reasons.
>I know I'm weird, but ... that's how I keep score.

That's not so weird - many CEOs work that way.
Why? It's just exposing the partitions underneath (which all horizontally scaled event/log systems use) and letting you order by the key within each partition.

This is exactly like Kafk, Pulsar, AWS Kinesis, Azure Eventhubs, and many others which are all being used by thousands of applications without issue.
Honestly they should not be allowed to; you got convicted, you did the time. In the US's stupid penal system, you have paid your debt to society; in others, you (should) have rehabilitated. That's it, you do the time, clean slate, move on.

The stigma with former felons is why there's a lot of repeat offense, why people stay stuck on the social ladder, and of course why the US' attempt at democracy is laughable.

> But historians argue the process is nonsense

This article is nonsense. It absolutely fails to make a point.

It's not like up-scaling stuff with neural networks is going to introduce a random mobile phone into the medium being upscaled or introduce any other glaring misrepresentations. The upscaling is purely for improving quality.

Accuracy of the colors is rather secondary. And if anything, historians should just help out if they can.

Personally I've spent a lot of time watching upscaled&colorized videos on YT, and I'm just mesmerized. It's sooo much more vivid and gripping to look at the past like we can look at the present.
I would always forget to put the observable decorator, then wonder why there was not a re-render. This situation occurred so many times I lost count. It's not mobx, it's me that is the problem.
Does this even mean anything?

If you see 5 year trends, it shows random noise.

True, for a few days, there is a "trend". However, what the graph shows is "relative trends".

So, if there were 20 searches for a term in past 7 days, 20 per day, and on 8th day, the searches were 40, it means there is a 100% jump.

But if you expand the time period, and the last week you had 100 searches per day, then this week there is a 80% decrease.

These trends are mostly useful only in the long term.

Well, I can be carbon negative pretty easily. So just make everyone pony up for their carbon.
About 18% of your income (including social security payments if you are unemployed) are compulsory and set of for your retirement, on top of that many employers may make a tax-deductible 4% payment into the employees private retirement fund.
I am curious, when you say there is very little guidance what do you mean? To me in some european states there is zero guidance in IT, or what exactly do you mean.
Perhaps I'm in the wrong demographic (gen x according to wikipedia) but I don't really see the point of this.

If your humour consists of intentionally irritating some other person based on an arbitrary attribute, perhaps you should reflect on that and see what it would look like from the other side?

Haha, I had the same reaction when I read the first heading. Then I read on and was so relieved that they are still supported. Such a rollercoaster.
Creating ever increasing ids reliably at scale is not trivial. You will probably end up having a single server generating these ids which will then become a single point of failure.
React Context is the use case for that one.
Trustworthiness in the Financial Industry
This isn't highlighted high enough, and the lack of what makes a good PR that shows new contributors the best way forward isn't shown enough.

Yet I standby my statement, you're not blameless here.
Nextcloud has a News app which is a rss reader, that is what i use.
There's also pubsub lite which mimics Kafka and others more closely and is much cheaper by being contained in a single zone: https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/choosing-pubsub-or-lite
I disagree. It's going to be a net positive because it will make the stock market go up (thanks to lower production costs) and will ensure that our investments can maintain their dominant positions which will benefit everyone and will create more jobs.
Gen Y here. Agreed.

Technically true but what is the situation that become problem?
Liferea. I got tired of putting everything on a webserver.
Currently the subreddit Coronavirus for general COVID news has a post with the information and over 3000 comments. The subreddit COVID-19, dedicated to the science and medicine side of things with tight moderation, has no posting. There is current precedent for keeping it out. Personally, I choose to visit the COVID-19 subreddit for the same reasons I visit HN.
The REPL in CL allows you to redefine running code, even code compiled with high optimization levels.
This is a feature of the language rather than a feature of the REPL but it's in the REPL that such features shine. In the best case in Java you can redefine methods when running under a debugger, using a framework such as JRebel or leveraging an application server/framework ( Play for example). When changes are too radical you have to recompile and redeploy. In CL this is only rarely needed. In short a REPL in Java will never be able to reach the level of interactivity provided by a CL REPL simply because interactive development is not built in the language as in the case of CL.
LightFi | Senior React front-end developer | London, UK | Remote OK (UK only) | www.lightfi.io/jobs

We are a small London based start-up producing novel IoT sensors for building automation, with a particular focus on reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. Our occupancy sensors can be found controlling buildings used by Heathrow Airport and British Gas.

We are developing our nascent web front-end to display new sensor data and analysis that will help clients understand, redesign and reopen their buildings with confidence in light of COVID-19 and beyond. We are seeking someone with a strong knowledge of React.js interested in joining our team to take a lead role in front-end development.

As an integral member of a very small tech team, if interested, you would have the opportunity to gain experience and contribute meaningfully anywhere across our entire stack (sensor hardware/firmware design, embedded linux, python, AWS, data science, fastAPI, React...) and play a key role in the development of new products and technologies.

There's a story on aljazeera.com about how the Trumps have tested positive for COVID-19. I think I got there from this article but the internet seems to have melted down for me at the moment.

EDIT: FWIW there's a story on my local paper's site about it too.
I agree, super annoying, but we'll continue to have problems like these as long as transpilers keep running ahead of the official spec.

In general I think the TC39 commitee has been doing a great job of moving JS forward, so I'm trusting them to have solid reasons for this call, knowing full well that it's painful in the short term.
Outside of the US? In developed economies, you usually have a mandatory retirement "tax" that goes into the public scheme and which pays a minimum amount when you are old enough (65 or 70 usually). It isn't much on its own, maybe enough to clear the poverty line or get close to it so you're also expected to invest for yourself through tax advantaged accounts. Better employers also offer a pension plan for which you pay some and they match it.

I suggest not to assume anything about other people.

I have studied religions among other things, so I know very well what sectarian consensus is and how exactly it works to maintain a high social status.

This is not true, California does not have the highest tax rate in the nation.
