Just focus on the strength and depth of the government responses, most especially the establishment of martial law. No sector is actually an island because the economy is an abstract concept used to describe certain types of interactions that impact resources. It isn't like you can just turn the A/C in a car off to make the gas last a little longer because it isn't a singular, engineered thing with clear systems. It is a system more complicated than anyone understands.
What could cause it would be a very high rate of infection that knocks out 20% of the workforce operating in food harvest, production and/or distribution. Even if they all recover (likely, it seems), that would make it hard to keep the supply chains running smoothly.
I don't like writing manual HTML/CSS/JS, so I write Pug/Stylus/Coffeescript and generate the site with a Makefile that calls all the compilers. For example,

SOURCES += $(shell find -name '*.pug')
OBJECTS += $(patsubst %.pug, %.html, $(filter %.pug, $(SOURCES)))
all: $(OBJECTS)
%.html: %.pug
pug -P $^
I don't think so. Buproprion is supposed to be the most side-effect free antidepressant yet it seems to have permanently messed up my sex drive. If I had the choice of the two I'd probably have kept my sex drive and tried something else.
Are there never lines at the checkout in Sweden? Here in the US, we have self-checkout, and we have contactless payment too (though not my stubborn grocery store), but you still often have to wait because the process is slow and the store gets busy.
Any plans to release the code? Which scraper? Chrome headless?
> Why remove the exact figures?

That submitter broke the site guidelines by changing the article title when it was neither misleading nor clickbait—so we changed it back. Also, we've found that when a title is gratuitously numerical, it makes for worse discussion. Why? I don't know. It just does. Therefore, if anything, we take numbers out rather than add them in. For the same reason, we wrote software to abbreviate "1,000,000" to "1M", "1,000,000,000" to "1B" and so on. Numbers in titles are baity and long numbers baitier.

> Isn't "star designers" more subjective than "executives"?

That title changed because we switched to a different URL and updated the title to match the new article. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21616157.

> Why make the headline less informative? [...] Data leaks from Facebook and LinkedIn has different implications than a leak from LexisNexis or a random blog.

That submitter broke the site guideline against editorializing. It's editorializing to cherry-pick the details that you consider important and put them in the title. That amounts to the power to determine the story for everyone else, and on HN, submitters don't get such power. We prioritize authors; submitters have no special rights over a story. If a submitter wants to say what they think is important about an article, they're welcome to do that in the comment thread, on a level playing field with everyone else.

In fact there was a lot of data leaked in that leak, not just LinkedIn's and Facebook's. That's another important. Putting famous names in a title makes it baitier and evokes lower-quality discussion, because it activates everyone's pre-cached responses about the famous names. If anything, we are inclined to take famous names out of a title, and certainly not to add them in.

> Again, why remove info? The fact that CloudFlare is behind this is more interesting

Because cloudflare.com is right next to the title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21605719. From the guidelines: If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.

> Same complaint. This distinguishes a random person making a random gripe from freakin' Mozilla

Same answer: mozilla.org is right next to the title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21599496. Avoiding repetition is part of HN being organized around curiosity.
Regarding DDoS protection, it's simply not possible to implement a reasonable defense against anything but the most naive attacks without spending a ludicrous amount of money. I for instance was working on a site that got targeted, and at one point tried to load-balance the traffic across _30_ machines efficient blocking rules, I was saturating their connections.

After giving up, tried to use cloudflare. A few clicks later, they just ate the entire attack for me. All on their free tier.

That said, I strongly suspect cloudflare probably works hand-in-hand with the NSA or some shit, and it's a dangerous trend. But I just don't think there exists a viable alternative, unless you're a multi-million dollar internet company
Does something need a “result” to be genius? Isn’t most of mathematics abstract, so the reward is the discovery itself? But in physics a theory is not enough because it gets disproven and you are no longer a genius? I’d rather peg genius to the intellectual qualities and determination and focus, but say it’s still genius even if the result isn’t widely relevant to humankind or whatever people are interested in at that time.
I use Preact. I like it a lot. Started with pure ES6, Preact, and htm templates - no transpilation step! As the project got bigger I migrated to Typescript and start using it's built-in JSX compiler. Was a pretty easy step. My only package dependencies for a long time were preact and preact-router. Recently moved to webpack to support proper packaging of node modules when I moved from REST to GraphQL. But no babel, and it's been really nice to slowly increment the build complexity only when it's been needed.
Not that anyone really cares or needs my input, but I can verify that too.
Job security is a myth. You can get fired/laid off at any time, whether you're full time or not. In a few states they don't even need a reason to get rid of you (at-will employment).

I have seen this happen at least twice in the last 5 years. Company runs out of money, a bunch of people get cut. I've seen pretty high level people cut for political reasons. Of course, officially they would never admit that, but they don't need to. As a full time employee you might get a severance package, if the company doesn't feel like dealing with you, but it's completely optional. The only real advantage of being full time is COBRA when you get laid off. Still, it's not worth the salary difference.

I completely agree with the author of the article, being a contractor is totally worth it. I'm in a position right now where my contract is running out, and the company offered me a full time position. I will not take it. I'd rather be unemployed (and motivated to find a better deal) than working for less. Never take a pay cut. Always ask for promotions. (That's if you want your salary to grow consistently).

A word of advice to contractors: DO NOT fall for the daily rate. Hourly is the only fair game. Everything else will land you long unpaid hours. I absolutely love my hourly rate, and if you can get increased overtime rate, even better.
Google announced this back in 2013.[1] And in 2014. We went through this with Verizon FIOS, which got a lot further than Google has before Verizon gave up expanding it. Google has only a few little projects. Verizon FIOS covers 12% of the US population.

Sonic.net is bringing gigabit fiber to San Francisco.[2] Construction is underway in the Sunset District. Next, Bernal Heights and the Castro. Also, Berkeley. Already operational in Sebastopol, Brentwood, and Santa Rosa. Sonic may have more actual users than Google does.

At some point you have to rely on "givens". You can't go turtles all the way down.
I'd love to see some evidence for that quote. This assertion paints individualism as a social rather than biological construct, and it's not obvious to me that this is true.
I never said that bugs are "OK", but yeah... Some bugs are acceptable and some are not. Data loss is never acceptable, especially not with databases.

And yes, I did my share of software development...
looks good! its like the reverse of my side project :)
(http://fridgereport.com)
Bugs can be of varying severity. In some environments a crash bug (especially when using a dev branch) is tolerable and can be recovered from quickly and easily. In some systems this is par for the course and there are processes whose job it is to restart crashed processes all day long. I can't think of too many places where a data loss bug in an application whose sole purpose is to store and provide access to data would be even remotely acceptable.
I'm 49 years old, and further away from my green card. You're in a good spot, don't take it so seriously.
He's clearly too smart and too critical to love all his products as much as he pretends.

He answers his own email in a hurt tone of voice when you criticize them. If you don't think he begins each day with a tall, chilled glass of his own Kool-Aid... well, I'd have to disagree.
Money-making today is no cleaner than yesterday. Just because you (pg / anyone believing this) may accumulate money and use it ethically does not imply others do the same.

Modern civilization and its achievement is certainly not the result of lazy bureaucracy accumulating money on the back of hardworking pleasant. It's certainly a result of some amount of "rules of law".

For prosperity to be widespread, you need incentive to accumulate capitals, build stuff that people actually want to buy, etc.

The world is pretty fair. Just that humans can be too unfair and short-sighted.(Like caring more about relative status instead of total wealth)

Poor nations just have more corrupt bureaucracy, unethical businessmen, and lawlessness than wealthy nations.

Yes, the bureaucracy in American and Europe aren't certainly helping matters, but relatively speaking, they're still less corrupt than what you would find in third world countries.
With regards to rationality is good I was responding to that not claiming that, please read the thread.

In this case it is you that needs to properly read my reply. That's the second time you've misread my post (the first was the [insert Objectivism here] bit).

I want philosophy to help guide me through life, yeah. Whereas you want philosophy for, um, what exactly? I feel like there's a lot of empty rhetoric in your responses. First you just keep asserting that individuality and certainty are impossible. You think you've made the case for this by mentioning the words 'context' and 'vacuum' or something. You also try to use the prestige of science (QM, biology, neuroscience) to trash Rand without offering any specific evidence/argument, and try the same thing with the emotional appeal of family. Maybe you do have arguments involving those things but I've yet to hear them. You also keep saying 'universal claims' without really explaining what you mean.

Put it like this. Objectivism is only for rational beings, that is beings with the power to reason. Which is fine, because non-rational beings could never understand/use it anyway. She says 'man' in place of 'rational animal' or 'rational being' because on Earth as we know it humans are the only entities that develop rationality. Anyway, if you don't think that usage of the word 'man' is correct, it doesn't really matter - again the point is that anybody reading Objectivism qualifies as a subject.

By the way, Rand does discuss epistemology and metaphysics in some detail in her paper 'Introduction To Objectivist Epistemology' if you were interested in reading more about these low-level details of Oism.
No matter how hard you try. If queries are dynamically created, you (or your lib's user) will most certainly miss a spot were an attacker cloud sneak an offensive query.

You fixed the $i, but what about $table? What about $conditions's keys?

See the problem? And we are just talking about a single method ;-)
When browsers have been updated to have "good and proper" high performance byte-code VMs fully integrated we can look forward to these sorts of attacks becoming possible through merely viewing a web page or component (say, an ad served by a 3rd party).
Seeing sites that aim to serve the research community (pubget comes also to mind) begin to pop up is very exciting. that said, I think the social graph component is useful as a way to inform what papers the site shows you, but should not be explicitly implemented in this Facebook-ish way. Seriously, I do not want to friend my PI.
I'm very surprised by the speed of compilation. Latexlab (another online latex editor) isn't nearly as fast. This is a neat tool!
It's a very personal project. I wrote it so that at least two people in the world can be supported at this point - me and my friend with the latest build of WebKit browsers :-)

Of course, I went with Socket.IO - so that covers more than the two of us. Yay!

EDIT: Well, if you're a rubyist. EventMachine does a good job serverside, btw.
Slide 3 says that power, power distribution, and cooling account for only 31% of the monthly cost. So while power related expenses aren't trivial they're significantly less than the cost of servers. I think land would be counted under other infrastructure so it's hardly worth considering.
> That's only if you use all cores 24x7 and all ALUs within those cores

These chips don't run at a fixed frequency. They dynamically adjust based on thermal limits and power limits.

You only have to burden most of the cores/ALUs to hit maximum power. Any load above that threshold uses the same amount of power, as frequencies nudge down to compensate.
Sometimes I'm playing a video game on steam and would like to have the steam overlay browser to do some work while I respawn.
Looks interesting, but where is the proof? Distributed consensus is HARD. Without a formal proof why should I trust this? TLA+ would be great, but I'd be happy with anything that demonstrated formal correctness.
For those that remember Google Notebook, this is also what Evernote did 10 years ago. It's why I've been using Evernote for 10 years and why I'll never use Google Keep.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Being a top chess or go player in modern times necessitates being a child prodigy. The skill gap in chess and go is enormous. I don't think the number of players is the primary indicator of how difficult it is to be at the "top" of an activity.
Wow that's a pretty big blunder.
I totally agree with the myriad of "last mile" issues teams face when using component libraries with opionated, pre-baked UI.

I think the magic could really come when you have full headless component libraries and full sets of libraries that skin them. You can always roll your own skin. But that's better than having to roll your own entire component library just to get around last-mile issues.

We are slowly but surely working towards higher and higher levels of code reusability at all levels of the stack. Reusable UI is massively important to productivity.
Medical tests are always going to be messy, because biology is messy. It's ultimately up to the physician to order tests and interpret the results. Here's a list of tests for diagnosing breast cancer, none of which approach the numbers you are hoping for (a needle biopsy is only performed once a mass is found)

http://www.getthediagnosis.org/diagnosis/Breast_Cancer.htm

I just stumbled across this site, but you can browse by diagnosis for more numbers.

> I don't think that the use of NAT at that level is really feasible to bridge IPv4 networks to IPv6 ones.

Not only has CGNAT existed doing this at scale for many years in SE Asia, it commonly happens on cell networks in the US now even, so yes, it’s feasible.
Unfortunately "brands" don't work like that.

As Flip is owned by HP, negative Flip experiences impact on other HP divisions. People will inevitable translate "bad Flip support" to "bad HP support".
Is there a book about all the aspects of server administration and site deployment for web developers?

I've researched a bit about that but haven't found any.

I agree completely that the admin/deployment aspects are not covered in the books, and from my experience I extrapolate that it can be a big issue and time sink.
The whole thing is just too complicated to be highly-available. There will be more problems, but I wish them luck.
What would the purpose of that be?

'Course it is. It's easier and cheaper to get!
Why they didn't do what? "Increase the automation"? I suspect that they have been doing that from the beginning. It's an ongoing process.

I hate to quote Rumsfeld, but there are known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. Of course you want to eliminate the latter-- but there's (necessarily) no way you can ever know that you've done so.
is it intentional to use a light-grey font? I found it much harder to read.
A little out of date. The trend of USD higher means China doesn't have to buy as much treasury. In fact I think recently bloomberg reported China is not a huge net buyer these days. I guess you would like citations, but here's the bottom line:
The US ten-year is < 2%. Bunds are _negative_ rate out to 7 years. Rates are sinking worldwide, and the U.S. isn't producing enough paper to satisfy demand. So what you said doesn't make sense.
Not me. I used to go to the Sinapore F1. Even with ear plugs it was painful next to the track. It wore me out and really reduced my enjoyment. I for one welcome our new electric masters. I hope Singapore is one of the first to host. I'd definitely attend.
I really hope, in the future, business schools will forget this "lean" idea of optimality and will again appreciate the value of keeping reserve resources.
Presumably something could be devised that bolts to the now-empty seat rails and provides a way to secure small cargo. It's entirely possible such a solution wouldn't be cost-effective, though.

Yeah if Putin drops a single tactical nuke on an airfield in Poland would we actually commit to nuclear war over that? Probably not?

That is a thing to be worried about since he is the batshit crazy one in the room who likes to assassinate people publicly using methods that only he would have access to, causing random deaths specifically for the purpose of showing that he doesn't care and you can't hide from him. Plus the callous ability to order his army to grind cities into to rubble and randomly rape and murder the population into creating a refugee crisis.

That's the problem with playing this kind of a game with someone who will always escalate back -- and who certainly has the ability to destroy the world as we know it.

No. LRU is referring to eviction policy (which still isn't accurate since this bowl doesn't have a hole at the bottom).

To me, those tend to be honest about their bias, and better at reporting facts.
David put it nicely (and more succinctly) in another reply: "In short, there is a network effect with our platform. Each sample we sequence contributes to a database of novel bacteria, viruses, and fungi that we can use to discover new microbes." I would just add that discoveries also apply to new associations that we can include in future reports.
at least the author also provides the m2-adjusted, though it's not quite billed.
you don't end up with the narrative that money printing was the entirety of equities performance in 2020.
HIPAA applies to any circumstance around handling PHI. We handle your self-reported survey data, and microbiome data as PHI. We do NOT have to be a "covered entity" to apply HIPAA compliant protocols to our data handling. It's an additional security measure we take in handling your PHI.
That's an interesting proposition/sentiment. I haven't thought about that. As if "neo-monarchy" (the status quo) is necessary for us "dumb" humans.

But there are problems as well with that. Brexit is a good example.
Rich people got their way by fooling the masses through targeted propaganda. And the masses got screwed (lost many rights) because of that.

But your sentiment is a little cynical/hyperbolic too for my tastes. Not everyone is a QAnon maniac. I think the majority of people are decent.
It's interesting that the nyt is covering basic income. I wonder if it would be possible to institute basic income as a policy without significant social unrest. It seems unlikely to me that basic income would be accepted politically unless there was significant action first by disenfranchised workers.
And cost of living will rise with population density

I don't see how you justify this, and therefore the rest of the argument. What mechanism do you see that implies that increasing population density leads to higher costs of living?

I think you are falling into a third cause fallacy mistake. While there is certainly correlation between higher pollution density and higher living costs, it's not one that causes the other, but a third factor that causes both: wanting to move there.

The reason rents are higher is because people are willing to bid more to live in SF; preventing population density will do nothing to curb that desire. But it can reduce costs of living, by allowing rents to drop and therefore reduce the need to bid higher and higher.

It's totally possible to allow a counter terrorism program to run rampant with abuses while also having strong affirmative action programs.

Frankly, if he sells scamming products then his health advise is worthless.
I would love to see this on Amazon Android store.
no,there is basically nodejitsu,strongloop and joyent but no Foundation. NodeJs is managed by private businesses which purpose are only to care about the interest of their shareholders, not nodejs or opensource on the node community. I guess NodeJS will be more like Nginx than Python in the way it will be managed. IE a free version + some premium services/packages... I would not rely too much on npm in the future though.
There is at least one slight factual error in his answer. He did not write the first BASIC interpreter for the Apple II. That would be Wozniak's Integer BASIC. What Microsoft (not sure if Gates) did was the AppleSoft BASIC, that came with the Apple II+.

Distorting facts to make himself look better is the kind of thing I expect from Gates. After all these billions, he still has something to prove.
When it comes to humanitarian work, I don't care what someone's motivation is.

An introduction, "I have been working on a project and I found your email by ... and I would love to hear some of your feedback as I work to continue to improve it"...

Then a very short paragraph about the startup, a sentence about what it does, three sentences about the process of starting it. Then a personal plea to see if (1) they know anyone it would be useful for (2) they could spare a moment to give some feedback and (3) there is anything you can do to return the favor, but for now here's a special link to get access to the startup and I'm putting your name down so that once I start charging for features you can have a period of time for free.
I think that, given his reaction, the question was right on the money.
Be that as it may, it has little to do with the discussion at hand.
