What's the reason it doesn't have many competitors? Is it intrinsically too hard of a problem, or is it a matter of network effects (extensions, existing knowledge, existing bodies of work, etc)? Or is there just a lack of motivation?
I'm also curious as to how the graphics connections / routing works; would they have an internal bus and then split and mux it or something? Or perhaps an eDP or LVDS bus that can't be switched out to some HDMI or DP transceiver in clamshell?

Well, they certainly didn't go out of their way to promote it.

My first quarantine project (https://github.com/jfengel/opendocent) was for a tour-guiding app (list of places on a map, show where you are, what's here, where to go next). Rather than make up my own builder, a bit of Googling turned up Google Tour Builder.

It was pretty clear that the thing had little support. Nobody seemed to be using it to make tours. I think its tours were intended to be taken virtually in Google Earth. I was trying to guide people in the real world, after having had frustrations with taking tours using paper maps.

It was kind of an ironic project to be working on under lockdown. If I ever get back to it, I'll have to reproduce Google Tour Builder to drive it.

Yeah it's difficult to estimate, very dependent on what environment you study. Nevertheless, measles is clearly different from covid, IIRC because it survives so much better outside it's hosts.

About R0 values, here's some data from that cruise ship, early on in the pandemic:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S120197122...

• The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia has caused 355 confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess cruise ship as of February 16, 2020.

• We estimated that the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) value of reproductive number (R0) was 2.28 for COVID-19 outbreak at the early stage on the ship
They should sort the list by most government requests instead of alphabetically and in table format instead of that terrible horizontal slider.
That is incorrect, VCs absolutely have preferential shares with liquidation preferences which can be multiples of their returns. Some money is not really better than no money if their reputation comes out as nickel and diming their founders, and future founders don't want to take their money, and if the VC misses out on a big exit as a result, now the VC has lost potentially much more than getting the 800k back.
So update it every hour.

Or every time it feels the need to check a program, instead of asking about that program, it could ask for all revocations from the last day.

> Older generation in Hongkong and Taiwan tend to identify themselves as Chinese, but the younger generation tend not to.

I see this, but I also see the "We're [Taiwanese] the real China, and the mainland isn't" mentality as well (they'll get upset if you call them Taiwanese). It does get a bit complicated, especially if you think back to what happened during the cultural revolution and the people that stayed in mainland vs those that went to Taiwan.
It's purely tribalism at its heart. It's much easier to exploit a group if they are perceived as different. Skin color and looks are the easiest things to distinguish one group from another. It's more challenging to marginalize a group if they can be seen as just like you and me.

In the Americas, the dominant group, both financially and politically has been people with lighter skin. This is how we've been trained to think for a very long time and it persists to this day. Had history played out differently and people with dark skin did the colonizing to people with white skin, things would be different, but that's not the case.

This same thing has been done to Jews in Europe and elsewhere for a couple thousand years. These groups of people who are "different" have been used as convenient scapegoats, which we know has played a central role in civilization since the very beginning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapegoating

To bring it back to the US, the black population and eventually the Hispanic population have been used as scapegoats for white societies to look at as the source of their problems. It's a way of maintaining social cohesion (in the dominant group).
How is it relevant how it stacks upto a thread ripper and 3090 rtx? You are comparing an ultra book with a large high performance workstation pc then. That makes absolutely no sense.
> We know that kids under 10 are very unlikely to transmit Covid

Source? My impression was that very few cases of transmission from young kids were observed, precisely because they were isolated. The adults might bring Covid into the house and spread it to the entire household, but the kids staying home means they can only get it from the adults. Nothing about being intrinsically less contagious, and everything about having an environment that minimizes contact.
She said she needs a PO.
> If you want to convince me about the graphics/ML capabilities, compare it to a 3090 RTX using running Vulkan/Cuda.

You're seriously suggesting we should compare the integrated graphics in a fanless bottom-of-their-line laptop that starts at $999 to a $1,500 graphics card ?

(Let's be brutally clear - that graphics card can do precisely squat on it's own. No CPU, no RAM, no PSU, no display, no keyboard, etc. etc. etc.)

Surely that makes no sense in any universe.
We just need a startup to sell mild pathogens online.
Considering that it's a DRM module, it's not a surprise. I believe anyone with a DRM module that does not protect it is at risk of losing their license with the content owners. That basically why DRM exists to begin with.

Blaming the content service is easy since they're user-facing, but it's shallow. Content-related restrictions are, in my experience, almost always dictated by the content owner. Region locks, availability windows, use of DRM, DMCAs for anti-DRM, etc, are all at the requirement of the content owners.

I don't think these modern Internet-based service providers care about that stuff much, they have little incentive to. It's driven by contracts.

Incidentally, this is always the reason behind region locks. Service X or content Y isn't available in your country? Don't blame the streaming service, blame the content owner.
This is true, but if you care about quality you'd go directly to the third party source.

All of the content I actually use Netflix for is available in 1080p on L3 (Which matters to me, since L3 is the highest supported level on desktop x86 Linux).
Nobody writes OpenAPI directly. You use an API design tool for that.

There are two ways to design APIs: code-first and design-first.

With code-first you write your code and then automatically generate the OpenAPI spec from that. I do it in Java using JAX RS and it works fine. It is strongly-typed and has all of the same advantages you get by designing your protobuffers first.

The world is moving toward design-first, though. You use a tool to write your API and then generate code from that. It's a nice idea, but I'm not there yet because I don't like the tooling.

I expect that in a few years the tooling will be good and we'll be able to generate both APIs and database schemas in one place. Looking forward to it.
You can from a physical point of view, but that's not what I was talking about; I was talking about ownership, and how you can't really talk about owning something if you don't know what it _is_ what you think you might want to own. No amount of regulation will fix that.

At the same time you do of course need to have a select group of people that are specialised to deal with this 'for the many', which is where you get government and regulation. But that's just an parallel path to a solution, not something that will 'repair' the lack of understanding from the users.

That's not to say that it used to be better or something; when you needed to know how electronics work to be able to buy, install, operate and maintain a basic radio it wasn't very widely usable. (but at least the users knew enough to 'own' their stuff)
The article follows the expected lines that hint Xi is kind of a dictator and is afraid to face any challenge from outside (which obviously satisfies the taste of my HN readers), but fails to ask the real question.

The real question that begs for explanation: The new lending law doesn't come out from nowhere. It was not drafted overnight, and was not drafted without the consultation of the target of regulation -- in that case, I'm also sure (but without hard proof as I'm just nobody) that Ant was one of the companies that the government inquired. So the real question is: Did Ant know about the regulation when it files for IPO, and if so, why didn't it disclose it?

A second question is: Ant and similar countries have been growing for years and years. Why does the government slam down the regulation in this year? This might not be a legitimate question though, as regulations usually come far behind, so it might be reasonable for the government to act slowly in this case. But still, I believe it's about time that some anti-monopoly law fells on head of companies such as Ali and Tencent. They are wayyy more powerful than they appear to be.
There are maybe some jobs that are that fungible (even then I'd love to see numbers on time between jobs on any industry) but for better jobs that aren't paying minimum wage the threat of losing your job is real and the gap before getting a similarly paying job is real and threatening to a lot of people.

Even in low paying 'fungible' jobs the threat of losing your job and the gap between one minimum wage job and the next stops all sorts of laws from being properly enforced because employees can't afford to lose their job in retaliation while waiting for a payout. Take basic wage theft one of the largest loses of money for people in the US every year totaling possibly billions of dollars. Companies are paying below minimum wage, refusing to pay over time, requiring off clock time, etc and employees feel like they can't come forward because they can't afford any interruption in their wages because of a number of things but chief among them is if you're living paycheck to paycheck even missing one week's wages can put you in a debt spiral.

When companies are about to pull this off I find it hard to believe that things like overtime protections and hourly limits are 'limits on choice' more than they're protections against abuse.

> They reference Protocol Buffers as a source/definition of a "schema" at the bottom and IMHO they're pretty rotten as schema definitions.

A past team of mine went from "raw C structures over the wire consumed by 4 different implementations on 4 platforms" to protobufs and it was a huge improvement.

One schema definition shared by all the teams was an end to the nightmare of some developer putting a field in the wrong order and burning debugging time trying to figure what was going on. Or even better, that bug we hit in .NET that, even though we explicitly defined the struct, size, and ordering, the compile reordered one of our fields and we couldn't find a way around the bug so we had to make changes to the structure on all platforms so the bug didn't exhibit itself.

Or the great lengths we went through to avoid making any sort of breaking changes. We didn't originally pad our structures out more than an occasional handful of bytes (embedded, constrained storage and slow transfer speed over BTLE) so we quickly ran into all sorts of horrid issues.

Life was much better with protobufs.

Our main complaint was the lack of unsigned types. That sucked.

We didn't use any of the RPC stuff, we just used it for the schema and as a binary data format. Worked great, would recommend any day over raw C structs.

I think a lot of it is that we're just now starting to get to where we need to be as a civilization for anti-aging to start to become something that not only sounds feasible, but is feasible. I've noticed interest steadily increasing over the last 5 or so years, and think this will be a huge topic in the next few decades.

I imagine there's a special extra level of problems that apply when the apology reinforces someone's stereotypical views of the apologizer based on the group they appear to be part of, whether those views are held consciously or unconsciously, which makes especially problematic. Most of those attributes or not readily obvious in an online forum, but some are based on pronoun and/or name (mainly gender and nationality, at least historically, and we're talking about assumptions here, so they don't even have to be accurate).
> how exactly do you automate those 'one-off' per year tasks

These were quarterly reviews. Basically I had it copy/paste verbatim the BS from the previous review. This worked for everything except accomplishments. These were 'completed' tasks (from my time reporting) for the reporting period copied into that section.
Yeah I'm sure it happens very often that a U.S. Attorney like Acosta gets taken in by a rando off the street claiming to be with the CIA.
No, that's because some of the people don't have first principles and trust at all and instead of validating they just make stuff up ;-)

I was trying to point out that disputing things is fine, but the whole basis of a website where benchmarks are uploaded is trust-and-reputation-over-time to the point where enough other people can re-run the same tests on their machines (one they get them) to validate the results. Heck, you might almost call that science!

Right now, there aren't additional results and you can't easily reproduce them because the machines aren't wide spread or available. But we can take the track record and reputation of the site and application and use that to value the integrity of the published benchmarks to be 'likely correct'.
The biggest problem with Linux is not enough people use it so you run into all kinds of edge cases with hardware and software. I just stick with Ubuntu because it's the most popular, so the most likely someone bumps their head on the problem before I do, and maybe I find their stack exchange question or bug report when I search.

I've been very happy with Ubuntu 20.04. Not without issues, but overall it's been quite stable and snappy (pun intended) and I prefer it to macos and windows.
I think that’s a bit odd to say, given another top-level comment noted that COVID-19 outbreaks have happened to TFWs in various meatpacking plants.

Not really, the overall impact wasn't as high as some folks like to think. All sorts of places and events had outbreaks including other food producers. For most, its background noise.
I think there's a bit of history involved; there's also quite a bit of added complexity from the different science packs vs just launching rockets (though I've barely planed any unmodded since the current science pack recipes came out).

It looks to me like Japan could be on the cusp of a drastic increase in cases, at least. Whether or not it translates to hospitalizations or deaths is another question (I feel it is less likely based on other health factors).

https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToS...

Since the beginning of November, your test-positive rate has more than doubled, from a relatively good 3% to 6%. 5% is considered "good" coverage for tests.

Test coverage per-capita does not seem to be increasing, and may have even dropped slightly in the same time period.

I'd advise against complacency in any country. We've seen just how quickly this thing can spike in a number of countries that appeared to have things "under control".
Offer a competitive price for a competitive product and support and people will pay for it. That's currently not possible with Linux for personal computing.

I don't have any ill will towards Linux, I use it myself at work and home. But I'm not buying my parents a System76 machine for Christmas because I know the OS is unusable for them while the machines themselves are not well priced or spec'd for their needs.

The closest thing I could buy is a Chromebook, which fits the needs of a kid in school certainly but is a bit weak and ill supported for what they use a computer for.

So if I do get either of them a new computer, it's going to be a Windows or Mac. Linux options for them don't exist. There's no way to "reward linux integration" even if I wanted to, it's just not realistic.
I guess this is where the disagreements about usability on Linux come from. I've been using Linux based OSes since I was a child and IME when you run into brokenness it's almost always the user space (often something flashy from gnome or kde or occasionally freedesktop.org.)

Most things are more than doable on Linux but often you're choosing between stuff that works and stuff that looks pretty.

I've already found a replacement, Debian stable + i3wm has been my happy place for the last 5 years. No unexpected behavior changes on update, just bug fixes, it does what I tell it, nothing crazy like Debian maintainers dictating what binaries I can run... if you want more or less control you've got plenty of Ubuntu style distros in one direction and Arch style in the other.

If you're a media person then yeah, I feel bad for you, i've been there and it sucks, you're stuck with mac and windows if you require mainstream design apps.
> the first tier provinces have mostly caught up economically it's really just a matter of time before rest of china catches up

Prosperity doesn't have to be economically. It can simply mean financial and overall governing independence. OP's point is not that Taiwan is better than China, but to point out that Chinese people can do well without CCP and this is what CCP doesn't want people to know. Also Taiwanese economy has many sections from CCP so I'd imagine it'll do well above current standards without them
Nah. I have this laptop too and at the time, the 1050TI was considered underwhelming but "well this laptop isn't for gaming, it's a business laptop". The contemporary Surface Book 2 had a 1060 with almost double the performance and people were kind of pissed.
Do you see a lot of laptops with threadripper CPUs and 3090 RTX graphics cards?

I sure don't.

"Best-in-class" isn't a weasel word – it's recognition that no, this $1000 laptop is not going to be the fastest computer of all time. Just faster than other products similar to it.
> Measles is a special case in terms of infection

Measles is the most virulent common infectious disease, clocking in at R0 ~ 12 to 18. For comparison, Covid's is 2 to 6 and chickenpox 10 to 12.

Only about 1 or 2 out of a 1,000 measles infections results in death [2]. But something like 1 in 4 results in hospitalization. We don't have that hospital capacity.

My analogy was meant to cut both ways, and serves as much as a criticism of the US constitution as it does a compliment!

You'd certainly be wrong to assume that Americans are all in favor of our foreign policy, to say the least. Aside from that, some of the downsides to the US constitution that inspired my comment include the way the founding fathers totally failed to anticipate that the nation would be completely polarized by a two party system, and that this polarization would happen along geographic lines.

Admittedly, this compromise whereby rural states with lower populations enjoy disproportionate political representation is baked into the constitution being agreed to in the first place (the 3/5ths compromise being relevant here as well). As we've moved to more direct democracy, with things like the electoral college being bound to the (local) popular vote and the direct election of senators, the original intentions of having a federation of mostly autonomous states becomes more and more anachronistic, while still fueling an increasingly polarized electorate that pits high-tax revenue and high population centers like SF and NY against low-tax revenue and low population centers that make up most of the country.

The United States is large geographic region with a heterogeneous economy. I don't know if a parliamentary form of government would have served this kind of country well, but certainly most friends from abroad who have spoken to me on the subject have implied that proportional representation is far more sensible than FPTP voting, and that parliamentary forms of government avoid the gridlock and polarization that our de facto two-party system engenders.
