The action sends a message to the producers of masks too; that they shouldn't bother trying to meet the public's demand for masks by massively scaling up production because the government won't allow those sales. By suppressing perceived demand for masks, the economics of scaling up production become less appealing to manufacturers.
You can use it as a standard desktop app without logging in but then you don't really have cloud sync.
Why do people unnecessarily change titles like this?
Because if you run the simulation at a different frame-rate from the rendering it is a huge amount more work. Suddenly you have to start marshaling data through intermediate data structures and apply interpolation to everything.

If you then try to run the simulation in parallel with the rendering (rather than between some frames) it is even more work, since inter-thread communication is hard.

This stuff might seem easy for very good programmers, however on a game you want to hire a wide range of programmer skill and "game-play programmers" tend to be weaker on the pure programming front (their skills lie elsewhere)
You've made some excellent points here, mate, thanks.

Is “Little League” a national organisation? I always assumed it just meant a kids baseball game and that would be something run by the local community. If it’s the former...why does such an organisation even need to exist?
This. You know what happened the first week I was back at the office? Non-work chit chat taking up hours of time.

If it's really valuable information, write it down so even more people can be exposed to it! It's like that saying about meetings: "this could have been an email."
"They increase the airflow, making the computer never overheat and die"

It's not that hard to understand.
Well, a question in this situation is: From where are you going to pull your information?

If news-dot-coms actually labeled and isolated the facts that they published, this wouldn't be a problem. It also wouldn't be a challenge.
I've also heard the opposite on HN many times:

The best solution is the simplest one which solves 80% of the problem. Very important when creating a minimum viable product.
Actually, I don't think taxes would necessarily violate a separation, if the taxes were not attempting to manipulate the economy by favoring this or punishing that. A single-rate income tax, sales taxes, property taxes, and the like could effectively be "economy-neutral", that is neither benefiting some unfairly nor being an excessive drag. The big problem is with government regulation.
Hmmm I think you (and others) are a little quick to judge without knowing what avenues were tired and what discussions they had before arriving at the course/s of action they embarked on. It is a short article with the scope of a book and judgements with a tiny subset of facts doesn't make sense.

They should write a book it would be most informative to parents/prospective parents and would likely show they made mistakes, but the CONTEXT of those mistakes could be explored and would likely show them up as rational normal human beings.
When you pop up a comment, the hide and delete buttons are kind of confusing. The hide icon uses a 'minimize' analogy, which leads me to believe the 'x' icon means 'close.' On a related note, the popover doesn't really need to say 'comment,' it's pretty clear what it is - that space could be used to separate the hide and delete buttons.

You might try eliminating the word and having the hide button on the left (it seems comments always open anchored at the top left) and a delete button on the right. I would recommend changing the x (maybe make it red or a garbage can?) to make it more clearly signify 'delete.'
> "[stuff] is left out of the story, again, to save Alex embarrassment."

Judging from many of the comments here, leaving out a lot of that stuff makes Alex and his parents come off looking worse than they probably were. The full details might be unnecessary, but mentioning the involvement of "police, courts, and medical professionals" in making the decision would have drastically improved my perception of the parents and the kid.

The parents could have done a better job, but that's true of all parents. It's a difficult job involving a lot of judgment calls and a lot of mistakes. IMO the article would be greatly improved if they were more direct about those mistakes and about the struggles they went through in making those decisions.

To put it another way: if my kid had that condition, I wouldn't ask for advice for the pushover-parents and out-of-control kid as described in the article, but I would ask for it from the hard-decision parents and struggling-but-eventually-grew-up kid as described in the comments.
A few brokers offer APis such as TDAmeritrade, and Interactive Brokers. IB has 10k minimum opening (though I believe you can transfer some of that out after).

More importantly to be a pattern day-trader and get the 4-1 margin you have to maintain a minimum account of 25k.

Also you should check out marketcetera http://www.marketcetera.com/site/ - though I don't have first hand experience with it.

To your second question - no not really. HFT works by scalping a stock for pennies - buying and selling (tens/hundreds) of thousands of shares for a very short timeframe (seconds, minutes, hours?) (Tangentially look into the 'sharpe ratio' on wikipedia)

I don't think you can compete in the HFT arena - I would personally recommend looking at medium-term strategies and possibly using options for leverage.

Here on the outskirts of Atlanta, Sprint and T-Mobile have more or less equal coverage, with one picking up where the other doesn't most of the time. The issue with T-Mobile is that it's more difficult to get a signal indoors, depending on the building material.

For example, at my job we're in a large warehouse with metal walls and framing, lots of pipes, and suspended ceilings. That makes the building difficult but not impossible for radio waves to penetrate. All four major carriers saturate the area; stepping outside you get full service on all of them. But of the four, only T-Mobile has zero coverage once you step inside the building. The rest are usable to varying degrees, with AT&T and Verizon the two best, and Sprint is decent inside.

And just so this isn't purely anecdotal, T-Mobile has acknowledged issues with using their service indoors:

Calling this censorship rather than editorial curation implies that content distribution platforms are somehow expected not to have an editorial line. I find this very odd and a misuse of the term censorship.

"America's got talent" is a great show too, and they certainly select who gets onstage from all the people they audition. Is that censorship? I don't expect that TV show to give me info about protests any more than Tiktok.

Censorship is when the powers of government or the marketplace are such that nobody could, if they wanted, get their message out. Yes there is actual censorship in China that filters anything from group messaging apps to movies, but isn't Tiktok here just defining an editorial line of non-controversial content?
i'm not saying that's what he'll get, just that it will be much better than if he's 1/100 devs in a single company.

You keep talking about this data, but you're not citing any of it. Therefore I'm not sure how to specifically counter what you've read.

But in the abstract, you differentiate them the same way you implement any hypothetical distinguisher in probability theory. Consider an n-sigma event observed to occur consistently. As n increases the likelihood of the event occurring by chance (rather than agency) decreases.
Lets copy this article under my domain name, attribute it to me and link to it on hackernews. Plagiarism withdraws many incentives to create (not only financial) and is therefore morally wrong. Copying memes is good since it allows confrontation and emergence of best memes. But you also need incentives to create, being money (sensible copyright) or fame (attibution)
Thank you! Now, only how to apply it is left...
Okay, not obviously and I should have elaborated. In my country, Finland, watching or recording people without consent, in situations where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, is a crime punishable by a fine or up to a one-year prison sentence. This includes homes, hotel rooms, changing or fitting rooms, toilets, and similar locations, but also ”upskirt” style photography in public places.
This is on to something as encryption is basically a practically unbreakable safe (which can only store information).

I find it completely natural that cannot put people in jail just for possessing something which may possibly be an unbreakable safe just because unbreakable safes happen to exist.

From what I understand, it's not that there is no wind. 50% of the Turbines have been shut down do to icing. The also have some NatGas suppliers that suffered freezing damage. So it's a combination of things that are adding up. I'm in North Texas and I can't remember temps this low in the last 30 years. It's about 13 degrees (- 10 C) at the moment and it looks like it is going to get a lot colder in the coming days.
I'm not a graphics programmer, and don't understand the specifics of how a modern GPU works.

I can state from experience that using Dear ImGui over Qt massively sped up the application we developed (Media player with non-trivial UI that decoded RAW video in real-time using CUDA/Metal/OpenCL).
Framerate increased by around 10%, and there was no longer any significant difference between the consumer-oriented software and an internal engineering tool that was literally nothing but an SDL window and some direct API calls.

Perhaps caching was performed driver-side, or perhaps maintaining indexing is not a huge issue on modern GPUs. I couldn't tell you, honestly, but I saw the performance gains with my own eyes. Entire UIs would chew up less resources than a blank QWindow.
yah, who knew how limited the utility of masks were until we tried it en masse? or the unreasonable effectiveness of distancing indoors around familiars, even without a mask? crazy, isn't it?

> the risk of dying for the below 50 crowd is negligible and on par with regular influenza.

This is indeed a fact yet, many people I know that pride themselves in being informed and progressiv act like they're going to die immediately if they come into contact with the virus. Imagine if these people knew how many viruses and bacteria are all around them, even inside them. People can be really dumb when they are needlessly afraid.

My anecdote is that at my local grocery store the main people not wearing masks are the older folks and teenagers.

No, this was the "racist" incident when Weijia Jiang asked Trump why he was insisting on bringing up the fact that the U.S. was doing better than (several European countries, including UK, Italy, Spain, and France at the time) other countries.

And he said, "They're losing their lives everywhere in the world. And maybe that's a question you should ask China. Don't ask me, ask China that question, OK?" because at the time, China was claiming they had basically solved Covid-19 with lockdowns and that the virus was no longer spreading in their country. And she said, "Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically?" implying it was due to her race (she being of Chinese heritage). And Trump, in standard form, said "I'm saying it to anybody who would ask a nasty question like that."

Every time Trump would be his ordinary self, you know, he always punches back at underhanded questions. The questions are a set up in the first place, to create a negative connotation. The coronavirus was a situation where nobody won, by the way, but the press certainly was going to do everything to make as much if it be Trump's fault as possible.

Weirdly, some, who feared Trump being a true Hitler-like fascist 2-3 years ago, were upset that Trump wasn't being fascist enough and shutting the whole country down and overruling state governors on local policies.

None of it was productive. None of it was healthy: on either side. None of it enlightened the population. None of it did any favors for democracy. It just inflamed already tense relations between conservatives and liberals. And note, there's no way in hell the media will ever be as hard on a democrat in office. They are 95% democrats themselves, and they have a bias. They soft balled Biden as it is, when he wasn't hiding in his basement.

"In the end, the basis of a stable relationship is founded on a love that emerges not in spite of but because of the other person’s flaws and weaknesses, because ultimately it is our imperfections that make us human."

It seems more logical to me to love someone in spite of their flaws.
> Norvig's code is beautiful and very good Lisp. But it's so dense that it requires more lines of explanatory comments than actual functionality.

I've thought the same. Just look at the comment for the `print-translations` function. Like yeah, the code is short, and I am sure it didn't take Peter long to write it: he's one of the best out there after all. But if this were real software, how long until the comment becomes out-of-sync with the implementation, due to negligence or simple laziness? Is it not safer, and a better use of time, to write code that itself reads more like that comment, which I'd guess would be the case with Java, and even more so with Python?
Why can’t we treat an logarithm like a single person? That person may carry their own biases, have a bad day or be just plain stupid. So when I feel that I’m not treated the way it should be, I can appeal to that person’s boss or have a court settle the problem.
I understand people like to hide behind “the machine’s decision” but if a person would hide behind their bosses orders, we would hold that boss accountable.
The judge is the authority. They can do whatever they want. Sometimes the listen to the person, sometimes not.
That's a very American idea. Nowhere else would people think that money is speech, especially in the sense of free speech. I guess it joins "corporations are people" in that category of ideas.
There's very much a horrible system right now with of all these free services creating demand free only services at the expense of any possibility of paying for it ... and then we get upset when they scramble to pay for things in other ways.

Personally I'd like to pay for things (would like a system to manage it)...
What the world needs, though, is a decent, private alternative to Snapchat--which a lot of very normal non-technical people use specifically with the goal of "privacy" as they don't want to give their phone number to random people they meet at parties or while doing online dating or on services such as TikTok--not WhatsApp, which is already end-to-end encrypted (with the same protocol!). Signal needs to remain a viable alternative to WhatsApp to "keep them honest", but doesn't need to fight them and should move on to their next challenge (as the goal shouldn't be "get everyone to use Signal", but instead should be "get everyone to use an end-to-end secure messaging app"). This all happens to firmly fall into the first camp, which you incorrectly label as "purists" :(. Even the people I talk to who want to organize protests and the such are harmed by everyone pushing Signal as their main threat is a cop getting a list of all of the phone numbers in a chat off of someone's phone, something Signal doesn't solve... but, ironically, Snapchat and Telegram do, for all of their other faults: we need an end-to-end encrypted Snapchat/Telegram _stat_.
Who would pay to advertise products to you that you already indicated you want by adding it to your wishlist? That sounds like some of the worst ad spend you could engage in.
> My work didn't matter (it took them 4 months to stand up a server for a project I was working on) and my boss didn't understand what I did. Very cush. Could have gotten away with a few hours a week of real work, though I still had to physically be there most of the time. I left for more money, plus ultimately having to surreptitiously waste 35 hours a week turns out to be quite draining.

Yup. I've occasionally landed on projects like this and had the same reaction. Sure, you can coast for NOW... but it always makes me feel like I'm rusting, and that the slow pace is undermining my competitiveness for the next position.

My view is that job security is your ability to get your next position. Any given job can blow up on you for reasons beyond your control. You have to continuously push yourself so you can easily pick up the pieces if/when that happens.

But 2008-11 was a formative experience for me, so maybe I'm just bitter.
Yet another rant about a free for use, centralized app/protocol with no business model.

Expecting it to achieve world domination for journalists and grandmas alike is just misplaced expectations.
event models in javascript accross browsers are very different. you will lose a lot of time debugging and testing. I tried it when i was doing it the first time. it wasnt much fun. jquery is a savior. maybe one should try to do it without and try to support IE8 to appreciate its real value.
So far no browser supports ORTC, how could it?
Which is amusing when they follow that with: save them for healthcare workers.
Formal writeup here: https://www.jci.org/articles/view/138003

Edit: lots of interesting details. a couple takeaways:

1. “Depending on the antibody amount and composition, the protection conferred by the transferred immunoglobulin can last from weeks to months.”

2. One of the proposed deployments is to protect frontline health care workers from infection (and remove their need to quarantine) until a vaccine can be developed

3. This treatment was apparently used for quite a few other outbreaks, including the 1918 flu epidemic, MERS, and there is a report of it being used against the novel Coronavirus in China
The people who claim wearing a mask doesn’t work are missing one of the biggest benefits to wearing a mask. If you are sick and don’t have symptoms yet. It help reduce your chances of infecting others.

Yeah they arent 100% fool proof. But it’s better than nothing. If it reduces my chance of getting sick by 1% and that 1% turns out to be the bit that makes my daughter not get sick then it’s worth it.
> they dont work and health care workers need them to not get the virus

Isn't that an obvious oxymoron?
Anytime a mask would prevent you from ingesting an airborne viruses, it becomes a contaminated surface.
I think that it ought to be configurable. If you do not specify a DNS proxy in Firefox, then the operating system's DNS should be used. If it does have its own service activated (which it shouldn't; this should be a part of the operating system instead and not part of Firefox), then it makes sense it won't pay attention to the hosts file (although then they would have to add their own implementation of such thing, perhaps with there own hosts file, which might just be a symlink to the operating system hosts file if that is what the user wants).
Yep.

What weirds me that it seems likely a bandana over the mouth could change R0 from 2.2 to 2.0, yet we talk about washing hands.

A 10% reduction of transmission is super good when you are dealing with exponential growth.

We need both together, yet we are focusing on only one.
And the next day he stated that he was aware this was happening and if it happened for the governors to communicate back to the feds and the feds would withdraw the bid. How does this article help or enrich anything?

That’s not so clear cut. The alternative to Uber is not just staying home or riding a bike, at times it’s driving your own car and circling for 30 minutes trying to find a parking spot.
The Google background never even rolled out to me yet. My browser homepage is iGoogle, but when I do a Google search from Firefox's search box, I see the generic Google Web search homepage, and I don't see any background image at all, and never have yet.
Respect the readers is a good point. By starting with that sentence you're essentially saying:

Before I say what I think might add to the conversation here's me talking about how I care more about my karma than the conversation itself.

It isn't something anyone but you cares about so why not just leave it out?

These are the "Mobile Workstations." Basically, powerhouses. They're expensive, but they're very good. These Elitebooks are the ones that my school gave to the incoming freshmen. Before that they gave us the Compaq 8510w, which I love. Its resolution is 1920x1200.
This has been known for quite a while. I managed to find a case where HSTS allowed information leakage between private/non-private frames within the same browser in Firefox, but I think that's been fixed.

In general, the browser vendors seem to think that HSTS is worth the potential privacy leak. I've also heard some people say they're monitoring to see if anyone does it and will respond if it becomes a problem.
Quality of life is one big reason not to work 55 hours a week. Even for additional compensation, I wouldn't want to be stuck at my job for all that additional time.

Also overtime does not mean that you can just stay late at work whenever you want and bill your employer. Overtime is for when the company tells an an employee that the employee has to stay late to finish an assignment. Then the employee is compensated for staying late, rather than being told they have to stay late and having to just deal with it.
FYI there is a small typo under "Secure & Reliable" - "you" should be "your". Spelling/grammar mistakes make a negative impression on me, especially on a landing page with a TLD where English is the first language.
so what do we use instead?
I did the research and what we've accomplished here, while imperfect, is the best of all worlds solution. I like to think of it as an installer that takes a few microseconds, because it only needs to change 64 bytes. I've been considering adding a CLI flag where you can say ./foo.com --restore and it'll put the original 64 byte header back in place. Perhaps one day we can change the Linux, BSD, and XNU kernels so they can recognize the APE executable format. But until that happens we've got a great shell script hack that's now required by POSIX which is exceedingly fast and works on pretty much all systems stretching back decades.
