Non-profit companies exist all over the US. Even non-profit drug manufacturing is done to some extent, but at a much smaller scale right now than we could have. The companies still charge money for services, the employees get paid, but the governance of the company is not focused solely on increasing profit margins. Most medical core science is done non-profit right now, at US universities. Many universities have on-premise small-scale manufacturing capabilities which serve their own needs, in medical labs but also others, like materials sciences and chemical science/engineering. There's no intrinsic reason why those couldn't be ramped up, or even pooled between physically close universities by creating a joint non-profit entity.
What about holders of patents funded by govt also paying royalties?

Just a notion I've been pondering. Sure, taxation could do the same job. Hypothetically. Hollywood accounting and such.

Maybe straight up royalties would be less prone to gamification.
It's not illegal to do technical development on potentially restricted munitions-class stuff (see ITAR) ... but you better document everything and keep that documentation to yourself. At the same time, there are lots and lots of other laws regarding what things you can own that you had better be careful of.
There actually has been several papers posted to r/COVID19 that have suggested that the herd immunity threshold is likely overestimated. This is because vulnerability to infection isn't uniform across the population. Some people will be more likely to be infected, either due to biological reasons, like a weaker immune system, or sociological ones, like living or working in an area where transmission is far more likely. Most of the higher estimates of a herd immunity threshold of 70-80% are based on transmission dynamics from early in the pandemic, which mostly consisted of these people with higher probabilities of infection. Once this population starts to get burned out, the transmission of the virus also slows, which means that the herd immunity barrier also drops.

One of the papers hypothesized that this demonstrates why areas like NYC got hit so hard initially and have remained stable since. Seroprevalence surveys back in the early summer indicated that between 20-30% of NYC residents had contracted Covid already. The lockdowns obviously blunted the surge, but unlike other areas of the country, as NYC has opened back up, there hasn't been much of a second wave at all. With more than 2/3rds of the population still without any kind of exposure to the virus, you would expect a dense city like NYC to see a large increase. The paper concluded that this is evidence that might suggest that the herd immunity barrier is far lower than initially estimated. I've seen some papers suggest something closer to 20-50%, but nothing so low as 10%. I'll see if I can dig up some of the preprints to post here.

The Proud Boys are not white supremacists.

My friend spent two years working for a large bank as a (his words) "trader's bitch". Every day the trader would request a new feature and my friend had at most two hours to implement it.

They used a combination of Python and highly GC-tweaked Java.

This was six years ago, but I see that similar techniques are still used to this day.

Yeah absolutely. There's money to be made across the spectrum of fast and smart. My experience is just way on the left side, where the special sauce is only barely statistics-y but extremely technical (both from a software/hardware standpoint and market microstructure saviiness standpoint).

I'm not trying to gatekeep who can call themselves HFTs or not. The main thing I find funny is if you ask 10 firms if they're HFT or quant shops, it will probably not actually line up all that well with exactly how many orders they send or how speed-sensitive they are.
> Someone without an accent.

Everyone has an accent. When you say "without an accent," what you mean is that you are looking for someone with a particular accent that is meant to be free of features that identify someone as coming from a particular region.

In a way, it's discriminatory, because you're saying that people who do not speak your preferred dialect are not speaking "proper" English. Even if they grew up speaking English their entire life.
Honestly, this is overblown. Most of the budget for these corporations goes to marketing, and the R&D mostly goes to repatenting efforts or incremental repurposings. They rarely come out with anything new, and if you look at recent years you may as well say that they never do.

You do not need a case for that! The NVMe heats up on its own. There are a bunch of reviews going into that topic, because it just matters for high end NVMe drives. See for example https://www.computerbase.de/2020-09/samsung-980-pro-ssd-test... - though the 980 Evo did well without an additional cooler, and here it's indeed depending on the airflow.

You seem to assume it's the case that heats up to 80C or more, that's not true and also not necessary for NVMe SSDs to go over their limit. Your CPU/GPU has fans moving the heat away, that's a better position to be in...
> I have mixed feelings about these changes.

I feel for those on low bandwidth and low data limit connections. Website developers should focus on bloat and address that. That doesn’t seem to be happening on a larger scale though.

> It's excellent that browsers consider privacy, but it looks like anything can be misused for tracking purposes these days.

Of course. Every bit of information you provide to a site will be misused to track and profile you. That’s what the advertising fueled web has gotten us to (I don’t blame it alone for the problems).

I wasn’t aware that Safari had handled the cache privacy issue in 2013. It seems like it has always been way ahead on user privacy (thought it’s not perfect by any means). I’ve been a long time Firefox user who has always cleared the caches regularly, and I’m curious to know if any browser has consistently provided more privacy out-of-the-box than Safari.
> [They] did the same for Antifa though, so at least they are somewhat consistent.

Are they? Some may be, such as proud boys and dailystormer may be afoul of some (vague) hate speech clauses. Others may not be.

paypal and CC companies also shut down donations to wikileaks long ago (long before Trump was a thing). And even shut down donations to other foundations, such as the Wau Holland Stiftung of the Chaos Computer Club[0], that collected donations in part for wikileaks.

My first real memory of paypal was paypal shutting down the account we used to collect donations to cover server costs for a forum we ran back in the day[1], without any appeals process and freezing all assets, effectively stealing the money[2].

I also find it fascinating e.g. that cloudflare still protects botters (aka outright declared criminals) and people selling child porn[3] (aka the worst of common criminals), but dailystormer, as vile as they are, are somehow too much.

[0] German, https://netzpolitik.org/2010/wau-holland-stiftung-geht-gegen...

[1] the forums was a rather benign thing, just for chitchat, nobody sold anything, and it wasn't about anything illegal either. We never got an explanation from paypal, but the account shutdown coincided with a DMCA request for a single red carpet picture some user posted in a thread about the Emmy's. We removed that picture, by the way.

[2] Paypal wrote that they would refund the money, but some of our members reported they never did get a refund.

[3] I and some other people repeatedly reported a website selling child pornography for crypto (or for users submitting "original content"), mostly of the blackmailed-into-performing-lewd-acts variety targeting young teens and even pre-teens. While we had some success in getting domain registrars to nuke the domains in the past, this only lead to domain hopping, and finally the operator found a registrar that doesn't care (currently a Ukrainian company and .su/.pk domains). Every time the websites were behind cloudflare and every time cloudflare responded to our requests with "we're just a reverse proxy and forwarded it to the hoster" and didn't do anything. The current incarnations of those websites are still online a month later.
No, here's what Gelman says:

> the lower the correlation between states, the more uncertainty you need for each individual state forecast to get a desired national uncertainty
> If you want absolute privacy you will receive care that will be truncated, untailored, unfit and unlinked.

Are you sure your expertise in this area is up to date?

Even with "unlinked": Signal can do discovery without the server storing a social graph. There's nothing stored on a server for a hacker to ransom.

Rank speculation, but I'd imagine there are current designs even at Apple that protect user's health data, and those designs contradict your claim of a shrug-while-we-work dichotomy between "privacy and effectiveness."

I dunno what's going on with your former friend. Based on your description it could be lots of things. Off the top of my head there's: aspergers, depression, or result of abuse (dissociation, etc).

Did your friend actually ask you for help? Or did you just decide on your own you needed to "make him" feel things to your satisfaction? Why would you feel like "insisting" on more contact from someone than they want is a healthy thing to do? Frankly your second paragraph sounds awful.

Do you have any evidence for that point? Like sure, I'd love to blame Twitter and Facebook for all of our societal ills, but they aren't new. Culture wars didn't just suddenly happen in the early 00s.

Show HN: Supermonitor API – Toxic-Language Detection Model (As a Service)
I have a colleague who is essentially disabled from it & has not returned to work, after 8 months, so I have first hand experience of what you speak.

My fear is that this is super, super, super rare, but figures are including long term as low as 8 weeks, so we have absolutely no idea how small / large the number of people having this critical level of long term effect actually is.

You can't stop being African American, and it's generally accepted that homosexuality is the same.

I don't really have a good solution for it. I've toyed around with deep learning based SaaS type projects though so I know cloud server costs are a major factor.

What sort of worked was I routed the data so the inference ran on my own local server (i.e. my work station), although the downside is you can't use your GPU for other stuff. At the time I looked into it, 3 months of cloud server costs were enough to buy your GPU work station. Also tried to do whatever I could to optimize inference.

I have no idea what kind of volume your getting but I imagine itd be even worse for video based Gan stuff. Maybe go for quality an target super high end? You probably have a much better idea than me.

All the best, will be interested to know how it goes
Very good question.

This is difficult. One way to do this is to participate on Math Stack Exchange:

https://math.stackexchange.com/

I'd recommend not only asking, but also answering others' questions. It's not the same as having a group of people that you regularly talk to, but it's something.

You could also hire a graduate student tutor. For example, here is a list of math grad students at the University of Wisconsin willing to do this:

DDG was mediocre for awhile then was amazing for a year or so in late 2018-mid 2019. Then as adoption grew and SEO teams saw more and more traffic through DDG, the results for non-SEO'd sites dropped dramatically. Still better than google in principle, but no longer in practice. I probably g!'d 10 times in that golden age, now I end up searching with google every day.

> After all, I am already writing code in a rich programming language, why don't I just use it for my application logic in the first place?

I'd assume it's because that rich language isn't as well-suited to the problem domain as the DSL. I think one solution might be to come up with a more principled way of writing DSLs, that don't require you to revert to writing an interpreter or compiler "from scratch".
The person you're replying to is almost certainly not using the word "safe" in the same sense you are. In particular: safety in trading has to do with risk management, strategy correlation, side effects, and correctness.

Software security matters, in the abstract, but trading firms don't care about it nearly as much as tech companies do. The other thing is that being as fast as C++ is not compelling enough a reason to replace C++ for their use cases. If anything, Rust's dependency management story would be the thing to highlight (this is part of what's compelling about the JVM).
As usual with these things probably both a real thing and a hype buzzword. From what I've gathered it's about more efficiently scaling design work and integrating it with other parts of the business, e.g. here making design elements/components directly available to developers.
Only for criminal laws. Ex post facto laws allowing civil suits to be brought would be a different matter.

You seem to be writing that a simple language is somehow harder to scale for large teams. My experience is the exact opposite - too expressive language make devs have different dialects and be too "clever" for the teams long-term good - and I'm pretty dumbfounded that you can try to make sense of that.

Verbose (and consistent) is exactly what you want for large teams. What's error prone about it?

>it's not really about racism for the people that are doing this.

It's about power and is using something people are very unlikely to disagree with to grab at power.

"We're anti-racists, therefore if you oppose us or our actions you must be racists".

"We're anti-fascist, therefore if you oppose us or our actions you must be fascists".

And it's very effective. Just look at the choke-hold it has corporate America in, in particular, at the moment.
If you're referring to the sentence containing “several members have been affiliated with white supremacy”, it kinda doesn't jive with the fact that their highest leadership position is filled by an afro-cuban man, and the fact that there is no official or de-facto-official Proud Boys public communication of anything regarding white supremacy other than condemnation of it, nor any official or sanctioned actions taken against visibly non-white groups or people.

I mean, if there were white supremacists in the Proud Boys, something that isn't even alleged in that article, surely they would not continue once the group was being led by a man who is like 25-75% black.

The only reason they are being framed so aggressively as white supremacists now, is that Joe Biden mentioned them on the debate stage. Rather than accounting for Joe Biden's ignorance or malice, the media preferred to alter public perception to justify his comments; and it looks like it sorta worked!
I can totally see a situation where the engineers whp made the script are long gone, the new engineers are justifying their hiring by churning out features and trying not to break things, especially things they dont own and effect everyone, like ci/cd, and that annoying but manageable 40 minute wait, just gets put on the backlog, waiting for half a year until someone with just enough experience and frustration makes a push to management to dedicate a bit of time to diving into the issue.
Yes, my colleague is one of them. He has still not recovered after 8 months and is unable to work.

However, they stating they're also counting 8-10 weeks as long term, so the stats are obviously way inflated. I'd really like to know the number of people having the extreme effects, without the media trying to inflate the figure.
