This theory was brought up during a previous thread on HN by @novok, in response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22080228

I wonder... would this be theoretically possible? If so, are there any peer-reviewed papers published?
Last crisis (Spanish flu) caused a 5% decrease in global GDP and that was without widespread shutdowns and an already depressed GDP from the first world war.

I think realistically the drop in demand, the onslaught of bankruptcies, the stopping of lending and the depletion of consumers' and corporate cash savings will lead to a prolonged recession of at least 5% GDP decrease.

On the upside, climate change is now within bounds for the coming years.
He has to be covid-19 positive to be recorded as such. However, yes, he could die of internal bleeding, but have covid and he will be recorded as a covid-19 death.
The article states that 88% of the dead had other pre-morbidity, sometimes two or three.

I think the fact that the hospitals are overwhelmed is killing people a lot quicker than they would've taken.
Given the other posting on that site from today, I think the author's grasp on reality may be tenuous at best.

In the past, Mtgox being offline caused crashes, not prevented them. And that was at the time when it was the major bitcoin exchange.

Since you need DNS to get the IP address in the first place, it's already true that ESNI is nearly useless without encrypted DNS.

I thought the same... 5 years ago was only the iPhone 6S era.

I think it’s referencing some unreliable rumors they were launching this year though
The Ethiopian Airlines flight had plenty of diplomats, UN staff etc on it.

I agree, neither the allegation that the nyt fabricates its anonymous sources nor the allegations made through those anonymous sources should be believed (nor should they be believed to be absolutely false). Alternatively, anonymous sources are not evidence and cannot be the basis of stories that must be trusted, and since the times relies often on anonymous sources we can consider them to possibly publish rumors without evidence.
Which state officials would be competent to run a major avaition, defense, and aerospace company?

Perhaps forcing a new exectutive staff and/or board in some way, but don't see a literal state takeover ending well.

Oversight and managment/operations need to be separate. This mess happened partly because Boeing was given too much leeway in performing their own oversight.
It seems they only have 1 (maybe 2) based on salary expenses. Everyone else is a contractor.
I thought these coins weren't lost to the bitcoin ether and in a wallet that is inacessable. I thought they were defrauded by people running duplicate transactions out. And somehow the cold wallet was being drained into the hot wallet. Which should have run out of coins well before theist 750k bitcoins.
Pardon my ignorance, but if those exceptions are possible then doesn't that make Bitcoin just another manipulatable fiat currency? As it matures, influence will pool into groups large enough to execute exceptions after their own interests.
Well, that always has been and always will be true.
Does anyone know how it compares to Codec2? Opus is great down to ~12kbps but Codec2 is the real contender down at the bottom. And I bet it uses way less CPU than Lyra
I found I had to get rid of a decent portion of the news too, and news-adjacent comedy shows like Colbert. It's not enough to personally not read FB/Twitter, since they have gotten so integrated into mainstream media. Maybe 10 years ago you could just ignore social media, but by 2018 (when I started making an effort to avoid it), you could end up seeing thousands of tweets without ever using twitter yourself, if you just regularly watched TV news and/or current events comedy. Whole portions of these shows turned into literally putting a tweet on the screen and then talking about the tweet and responses to it. Especially Trump tweets and their replies, but not solely those.
If you can issue multiple requests at once then they can go into the SSD controller's queues where it can reorder them, so it is beneficial. As usual with parallelism, it's hard to find if you look for it bottom-up, so running multiple processes is a better way to take advantage of it.
When I was feeling homesick in Thailand, I basically ended up hiding in my hostel for three days learning Qt. I came back (4 months later) and interviewed for a student IT job. The guy who was interviewing me saw Qt on my resume and said he knew someone in another department who was looking for students who know Qt. The interview with my current boss was actually kinda funny. He briefly mentioned that he had seen the stuff I had on Github, and then we talked about Asia for half an hour. Then I was hired. Lesson: homesickness can be a good thing.

Edit: I forgot about the underqualified part. Hoo boy. I've been working on Qt for 6 months now and I'm still digging deeper. The guys I'm working for are really, really skilled. Just watching them work reminds me how much more I have to learn...
There's more than one way to skin a cat.

By design Evolution is not perfect, which suggests there are better ways to create AI. To me it seems that trying to replicate how our human brain works is a wrong approach.

On the other hand, there is no reason why we cannot replicate human brain design if we wanted to[1]. Evolution had millions of years and we are just getting our hands wet.

I wouldn't characterize it so much as a feature (I know that's the article's wording, not yours), but some features meant to deal with a potentially problematic situation called "mouse-ahead".

I found the explanation in "Why X is Not Our Ideal Window System" ( http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.8.2... ) to be pretty thorough. Essentially, X defines an asynchronous protocol between client and server, since they may be running on different computers with hundreds of milliseconds of round-trip latency between them.

In most asynchronous systems like this there are race conditions that must be attended to. Mouse-ahead is one such problem. Imagine that you have it mapped into your muscle memory that you need to click a button to expose a menu, drop down about 40px, then release the mouse button to open a new file. In reality that sequence of events involves a few roundtrips between you and the X client (remember, this could be up to a second). What happens if your "I released the mouse button" signal is processed by the X client before it knows "a mouse release in this part of the screen denotes that he wants to open a file"? If you don't think about mouse-ahead beforehand, the answer is either your mouse release will be interpreted as happening as whatever is under the menu, or the mouse release will be lost forever; neither is good.

So pg. 6 of the linked article suggests a solution, a synchronous grab, in which you don't actually send the mouse release command until you know the client is ready for it. I'd suggest reading the first few pages of the article, it's one of the more cogent descriptions of a real race condition I've encountered.
Gizmomagico seemed to be saying 'assange wouldn't have committed what he allegedly did; as it would retard his ability to move freely and he is too smart for that'

The idea was just to point out the ridiculousness of the bullshit political maneuvering, not to imply that the only reason why he would not rape someone is because it would hinder his movement.
PGMs = platinum group metals, i.e. platinum, palladium, rhodium, but not gold or silver.

"If inflation occurs, why would people want to save money and clear debt?"

Because those credit agencies that keep calling are really annoying. Deep down people know that the only way to be secure is to be debt free. Inflation really creates insecurity - you're getting squeezed from under (as in the bottom line to pay for necessities). In that environment, having to make debt payments is scary, ESPECIALLY when the economy is crap and you could lose your job or not get pay raises.

Most people (rightly so) are not interested in taking on new debt during an inflationary period. It's crazy right, economists prescribe inflation as a way to deal with "sticky wages" so that the real cost of employment goes down without having to negotiate wages downward. You cannot at the same time argue that will encourage people to borrow, because debt payments are exercised nominally (and creditors often - punitively or capriciously - rack up the interest rate on top of that) so while more of your salary is going to pay for basic necessities, that debt burden still floats on top of the budget, and possibly gets worse.

IE 5.5 uses IETester. I don't see the advantage of this service if it uses IETester, since I can use this tool myself.
Goodbye, Hacker News, I miss your useful discussions.
The phrase "political views" doesn't even come close to explaining why people have negative attitudes towards the swastika.

The Nazis tortured and murdered millions of innocent, defenseless people.

The symbol was widely associated with this action, and that association has been reinforced through 60+ years of cultural recounting of the events in fiction and non-fiction venues (books, TV, movies, comics, documentaries, the History Channel, Castle Wolfenstein, etc).

I still haven't come close to explaining it, but the problem wasn't with their political views.
This is really useful. And if you do

Installing the blog right from the marketplace was impressive, non-technical users will love this.

How about integration with other frameworks ? CommonJS is promissing but I'm sure RingoJS/NodeJS can't do everything yet.

EDIT: I was thinking of non-javascript frameworks. Apparently the creators are sticking to a "there is only commonjs" policy so far.
Perhaps you could provide an example of a situation where grammars and arbitrary tree transformations are more useful than looping over repeated regular expressions?

Any parsing operation which needs to keep in mind state.
There is no right to use a privately owned service in a way that scares off paying customers, much like you don't have the right to spray paint a swastika on your neighbor's house.

This is perfectly correct, and I never claimed otherwise.

As far as I can see, this part of the discussion was purely abstract, about whether the negative associations of the swastika so overwhelm other uses as to render the latter irrelevant.

Indeed, the whole discussion would be irrelevant given your context. That is, in a conversation about how a property owner chooses to allow their property to be used, the only relevant point, legally and morally, is "this is how I choose to allow my property to be used". There need be no further explanation.

Since the whole thing is dilatory in that context, the only meaningful interpretation is as an abstract discussion of why one might want to make such a distinction. In such a discussion, the idea of tolerating the thoughts of others -- not just those who might claim offense at seeing such speech, but also those who would like to profess their beliefs -- certainly has a place.
My wife is on it sometimes, she goes on groups with other people and converses about various topics. It seems quite social to me, and she has an extensive ”real” social life, too. I think your attempt to boil down the essence of the app to your ”summary” is flawed.

Also, just because something is ”brutal honesty” doesn’t mean it isn’t also a rant, nor that it’s the truth.
How does it change your understanding of the world to learn that Lamo is not a trustworthy intermediary? Most of the people in the world who you could tell that you were leaking classified secrets would not keep that confidence.

You could get around some of the limitations by creating a branch for every session (though probably not on a high volume site), but then you will have lots of interesting problems once a session ends and you have to merge all changes back into master.

So is any studying for a test acceptable, since it modifies the understanding you had before studying?

That's the whole freakin' point: the test is supposed to measure your understanding. The honest way to improve your test scores is to improve your understanding of the material. The professors administer tests, the students study and learn, this is the intended way of things. This is the way traditional college classes work, and if you want to go to college and get grades, then you have two choices: study and earn your grades honestly, or lie and cheat.

Everybody encounters a class that they end up cutting corners in, of course. For example, you can try to predict what topics will be on the test and study those most carefully. You can try to predict which problems will be on the test and learn to solve those. The question is, are you actually trying to learn something the class is designed to teach and hoping that what you learn will serve you well in the test, or are you trying to improve your score without learning anything useful? Drilling pattern recognition of potential test problems is not learning. That method relies on your mind's ability to recognize specific verbal patterns and associate them with other verbal patterns. It has nothing to do with understanding the material. From the perspective of learning, it's a complete waste of time.

By the way, I agree with you that professors should lift questions and answers from their lecture notes with great restraint, for exactly the same reason. One or two here and there to reward diligent attendance is fine, but if it's a significant portion of the test, then the professor is essentially conspiring with the students to inflate the test results by relying on familiar phrases or diagrams to trigger students' memories of how to answer a particular question. That's actually a good reason for teachers to share testing materials: will students still understand the material when their professor's particular phrasing is not present? I heard a student complain he got a physics problem wrong because the professor always said "inclined plane," but the test problem talked about a "slanted floor." Clearly the student did not understand the material and was relying on verbal associations; no matter whose fault it was (the student's or the professor's) it was good that the test result reflected the student's lack of understanding. In the real world, an inclined plane does not say to you, "Hi there, I'm an 'inclined plane.' Does that ring a bell?" Or if it does, it will probably not use exactly the same words your college physics professor used in his lectures! That's a very good reason for a professor to use problems written by someone else.
And then there's quantum mechanics, molecular modeling, microarray analysis, protein folding, drug design, structure visualization, and still more.

If you want good initial projects, try one of these: 1) make a structure viewer (to start, read a PDB file and draw colored spheres in some sort of UI), 2) implement a sequence alignment then use it infer the family tree from a set of related sequences, 3) build a web site which lets someone do full-text or other complex searches of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot. When you display a record, also render the sequence annotations graphically.
I know, I reflected that in my edit. I agree with the latter, I think history decides if your stubbornness was misplaced or not.
Does foursquare (or any of these, really) have a function for not publicly announcing your location until after a delay of a couple hours, such that you may or may not still be at the posted location when it's publicly known?

It'd be the difference between "I'm at this restaurant RIGHT NOW" vs "I was at this restaurant as of a couple hours ago"

I moved from London to Manchester and my experience wasn't positive. While it might be cheaper there wasn't a lot of jobs. You are better off sticking to the South East.
Come on, this isn't that hard if you have minimal, or even outdated, web dev knowledge. There is like 3 major frameworks (Angular, React, Vue). Spend a few hours to look how it is to work with each one, make your choice and follow a tutorial. Congrats, you've made your first Single-Page App.

Of course if you've never written a line of code in your life, or if you're angry at the thought of using a dependency manager, you're going to have a hard time. And not only with the web stack.
So I can take GPLed code (make child pornography), relicense it under MIT (copy it to the internet), someone takes it (copy it from the internet), includes it into his own ("have it") and sells it closed source?

Belgium was neutral in WW1 but that didn't stop the Germans from invading it im order to try and circle around the French frontline. Switzerland being a mountainous hellhole (from a military perspective) is probably a big part of why, but it's also perfect terrain for an armed insurgency.

Arrested or committed are a very thing line apart. More so when you realize that what is defined to be a delusion versus a religious belief is arbitrary in nature. I think you realize this since you dodge the issue of defining exactly what religion is in the first place as "not relevant".

As for the DSM 4 versus DSM 5, please, if the distinction of which document we are using to define delusion has changed, do you mind explain your rational for why the DSM 4 has an explicit exception for religion concerning delusion when compared to how the DSM redefines it?

> And if anything had to change in this scenario, I would personally rather see the nation states disappear.

I'd agree with you here, but what I'm afraid is that with the absence of modern nation-states, we'd get a fewer number of more centralized political institutions, rather than moving towards the ideal of more numerous decentralized and autonomous polities.

When you say:

> And I think this is a good thing. We all individually exist on a web in which we are all compatible.

I get what you're going for here, but there's a great danger that this could be misinterpreted as a call for universalism, as some sort of idea that everyone's the same and distinctions should all be flattened or ignored. If we treat the world as an open space within which we can coordinate our own ad-hoc communities and polities based on mutual compatibility, where it exists, without being constrained by artificial boundaries, we'll all be better off.

But if we don't have the facility for mapping out and adhering to natural social boundaries that emerge from manifest differences in worldviews, values, intentions, and ambitions, then we'll end up with lots of incompatible ambitions attempting to realize themselves in the same space, and that can only lead to stasis and conflict.

> whose ideals and morality should win out?

Everyone's. If the interconnected world isn't a platform in which everyone can construct their lives on the basis of their own values, and evolve new communities whose boundaries are defined by something more substantive than mere geographical proximity, then it just becomes an impetus to all-or-nothing conflict, which will surely ruin the world for everyone.

Well, it would help my understanding if you could elaborate on your disagreement rather than just saying that you disagree.

The additional constraint of not creating a new object system prevents me from making OO of any kind at all in C, but leaves most scripting languages that implement "classical inheritance" very open to implementing "prototypal inheritance". This is partly because they actually use "prototypal inheritance" and expose a "classical interface" as the primary one, so fiddling with __mro__ feels a little like cheating. If I want to avoid fiddling with the existing __mro__ and build my own, I can override __getattribute__. This certainly doesn't feel like making a new object system to me, but it also doesn't feel substantially different from overriding [] in C++.
They're just going to keep moving the goalposts about the definition of "direct".

The natural progression using the command line is to figure out how to avoid using the command line.

The natural progression of forcing people to use the command line is to turn them off using computers.

Now, the author is presumably a tech geek and the kids probably have some genetic predisposition to doing the kinds of things dad does, so I don't care to predict the outcome. Similarly, the dad may be a great and inspiring tutor. But my view is you wait and see what kids are naturally interested in and try to widen and deepen the paths they pick of their own accord.

It's quite possible that knowledge of vim and emacs and package management won't be the world's most valuable skills in ten years. Whaddya think?
