Nobel laureate and Stanford biophysicist predicts a quicker coronavirus recovery: 'We're going to be fine'

> inflation literally means the value of traditional assets and commodities goes up.

No, the value of assets doesn’t change - the price goes up.
Also, they can call a press conference, tell everyone the material inside information, and then sell the shares. This is completely normal: every company does when it has material non-public information and doesn't want to wait for the next quarterly earnings report.
Please don’t assume I’m American; anything but that.

I’m not an advocate for population control, but if I were I wouldn’t exclude poor countries from my scope. Many poor countries are “developing” and it seems more reasonable to ask people that were planning to have 8 children to instead have 4 rather than targeting people that were aiming for one or two. Especially when the 8 kid family to be is already poor.

> I've been able to achieve compatibility down to IE3, and hoping to go down all the way to 1.0, as a lone developer writing a relatively complex project.

You are perfectly free to spend you time as you see fit; however, you might notice that many projects are dropping support of old browsers. This frees up developer resources, helps with the writing of cleaner code — e.g. CSS grid as opposed to tables or floats; js modules rather than huge js files or complex bundlers; web components instead of imperative handling of all the update logic — and opens up new possibilities in the browser including the webassembly. This is clearly a win for developers; but it also ends up being a win for users.
Thank you very much! I'm right now hip deep in Erlang and I very much would like to have a better look at Haskell.
What kind of operational supportability do you need for a script that took a few hours to write and takes <5 minutes to run?
>As an European I say we should stop the US from learning. They're getting dangerous, with their knowledge.

Getting dangerous? The game is over, Europe has outsourced their intelligence gathering and show no indication of even wanting to try to catch up.
It's not like having your own homegrown dialect of non-idiomatic code is a good thing anyway. On the other hand, the linked library looks more like a working proof of concept for a solution to a longstanding problem, with the goal of eventually merging it into the language.
I agree the main weakness of Facebook is "it bunches up all of a user's connections into one group".

The problem a competitor face with this is:

1) Maintain multiple groups requires a significant mental overhead. Any UI would be hard but the thought the person would have to put plus the UI makes this impractical. I never use Facebook groups, my reptile brain processes it as "UI noise" before my rational mind even see it (ie, literally don't recall ever getting anything related to facebook groups).

2) There's a reflex for a person to think of themselves as using a single role even they aren't. Many people with a lot to hide will say and even sincerely mean "but I have nothing to hide" and only discover later they were bullshiting ... themselves.

So Facebook's approach has strong leverage.

Just as much, software people like to think they'll sell something based on "more features" when what people need ... is a single, clear feature.

Essentially, a direct alternative would need to be presented as a single thing people can understand and use easily. Even more that single thing couldn't be framed as "you get to have multiple identities" but would have to be framed somewhat differently.
Xcode used to have this back in the day, it was called "Fix and Continue". It was dropped at some point around Xcode 4. RIP.
When someone measures their success by the growth of their income they are greedy by definition. Even if they have a trillion dollars they will never be happy.
It's a 6 that the owner wants to be a 5 so it's worth more.
We have persistent ram technology . Intel and Micron have made ssd form factor and also DIMM form factor Optane devices. They are based on 3D xpoint. Putting it on an SOC is possible but would be very expensive at this time .
this is a dick move, people will search for domains, see that an awesome domain is available...then buy it before realizing that they bought the crappy .co version
The coding subreddit is somewhat better.
I still don't get it really. People don't just use google to find stuff to buy, they use it to find information.

I'd be surprised if the idea lives up to the hype. Heck I'd be amazed if Facebook can make any kind of inroads in email.
Woohoo! Save as starting at '/' is finally fixed!
Not so. Filming is generally forbidden, not by the TSA itself but by airport policy - so most do. I was surprised to hear this myself (figured it would be the TSA...)
there's a real risk if you do this that you'll end up on the no fly. at least take a flight someplace, earn some miles and come back. Otherwise you may be seen to be performing surveillance, and that can land you in hot water.
Computers don't make mistakes, people do.
Incorrect - it's usually airport policies that prohibit this though
I'm not sure, and it's an interesting question.

I've been on international flights where we've been waiting on the tarmac to depart and a flight attendent has announced on the PA system that "we're just waiting to have the bags removed of someone who missed their flight".
Is this article applicable to Rails 3?

Why not just handle expensive parts of one's app with a simple rack handler? Do you really need form helpers, etc. in every part of the app?
Have you tried running Rails under JRuby + Glassfish?
Even if something is a viable defense against conviction in court, being the subject of an investigation, or even worse, CI investigation, is way before that point -- and highly unpleasant I'm sure, especially for someone with previous criminal convictions and ongoing involvement with "hackerdom".
Excellent. This is yet another reason that I love the news.yc community. I have had many similar experiences over the years, but haven't ran into anyone else that also understands and appreciates it in the same way. I think the usually MO is I'm some sort of party animal or lazy. But given high enough productivity employers don't care.

Specifically "viewing people's absurdly high energy levels in the morning, while you are already sleepy" has been frustrating. And as they are winding down and burned out come 4pm or later when I'm speeding up reaching my highest productivity.

Add to the list:

- Remember what happened at that party last night
- Volunteer to drive the "late" shift on trips
- Watch the server and provide customer support from midnight - 6pm
- Finish that feature when everyone else can barely function and things still need to get done
- Know every late night restaurant, coffee shop, bar and convenience store. And when they stop serving food, close and open.
That 1:1 mapping is a good thing, but I don't think that's a reason to completely do-away with routing altogether. Sticking the route in the controller just makes the code harder to follow.
That seems right, but it's possibly because iPhone users are more likely to use the native-app version of popular websites.
Drove up new car prices, too: https://economics.td.com/us-vehicle-sales

"From an automotive standpoint, dealership inventory remains lean – currently sitting at a nine-year low and down 22% for year-ago levels – which has already led to some reversal in the very generous summer incentives", which indicates higher prices. I couldn't find pricing data.

This new shortage + current shortages + low interest rates = high prices on used/new. I was thinking of buying something last year, but now I think I'll wait until '22 or '23. (or if I can WFH, never!)
Tangentially (or maybe tandemially :) this illustrates the problem of synchronizing an e.g. solar power unit delivering to the net. The person jumping on a multicycle in speed must synchronize their feet to the rotating pedals to actually add power.
Europe is trying to move away from diesel because it is making their air pollution worse than the US.

Let's make it two. I had a previous account that for some reason I dropped before this one. I believe that account also only accrued one or two comments over the course of a few years, as well.

I happily lurk and consume along with the other 99%.[1] In part, this is because when I read HN, I attempt to stay on the front page for the sake of time and though I appreciate those who sort by new and filter what gets to my eyes, it's rare that a conversation is fresh enough that it makes it worthwhile to comment in terms of viewership, nor that it's valuable enough insight to take up someone else's finite resource pool of time to read.

It seems upon personal review that by posting I may now have committed violence twice today on that valuable resource. My apologies. I'll attempt to post less regularly or more profoundly in the future.

This is true - but pumped hydro has limitations on where it can be built, meaning it becomes constrained on transmission. So, in theory it is super awesome, but in practice you need to include the cost of many years of litigation to navigate the balkanized US system for permitting power lines. Not to say it's not a good option in many cases, just to say that it's not a panacea.

Somewhat related: I cannot plug The Energy Transition Show (https://xenetwork.org/ets/) podcast enough on subjects like this. It's the only podcast I pay for. Each episode the guest will be some PhD or similar in whatever the subject is, always super in-depth. Highly recommended.
Conda is pretty nice, and unless someone needs pypi, that's fair advice.

And I agree, it's hard to explain not using pip3, so I just wouldn't. "For the best experience, pipx install neato-commando." And maybe link to the pipx website, in case someone actually clicks a link.
Uhhh what? That was awesome! I wonder what the cost of just one of those is.
I feel that we all have this problem when it comes to finding someone to work with, or looking someone to hire. With that being said, if you do the work or show up you can make it work. One thing I recently have just started is attempted to group together a group of smart individuals which I think are rather like minded in an online "collective".

The goal is simple. Bring smart people together who know other smart people, make access very exclusive, and build out that group so that everyone helps each other and makes things such as finding developers, co-founders, etc.. a lot easier and has a much higher success ratio. Oh, and the web service I am using to hold an online group is Comvore. It's awesome.
I think there was no deflationary spiral between the dates you mentioned. And... since GD lasted a lot longer than that how is that relevant?
A lot of these are simply private places that prohibit photography -- it doesn't make sense to say the place itself is copyrighted since the term copyright refers to the right to make a reproduction a work, not a physical location.

Additionally this really seems like a list of places or things that iStockPhoto won't allow as sources for royalty free images, which is even more narrow.

In the US it's legal to take photos anywhere in public, even federal buildings, and there have been several cases establishing this right:

Then maybe all this conflict really is "a problem of grammar", as Harper himself asserts. For me, the word type has a differenn meaning than for you. Maybe we should instead be using the expressions static type (compile-time proof) and dynamic type (runtime properties of data, which Harper calls class, though I prefer not to use this word as its meaning is already too overloaded in CS).
I loved this show until it went off the rails of 'real world possibility' with the "possessed by ancient Egyptian demon" episode. The pilot shows off the schizophrenic nature of the show, with Wojek from Barney Miller and A. Martinez uncovering a Chinatown-like land deal, while the kids cause fire alarms and sprinkler activations at evil NASCorp.

I showed that scene to my boyfriend about a month ago, and he couldn't believe such a show ever aired...
I couldn't find a CLI tool to quickly see the password entropy of a given password, so I made one.

Hope you find it useful :)
He specifically said Netsuite and not Quickbooks but to be fair thank you for responding and clarifying with detail.

I find no way to phrase it and it's always taken as an attack or troll, so I wonder if anyone knows a proper framework for this argument (whether you agree with it or not): "If you know someone committed suicide, it seems ill-advised to read their thinking. Whether or not it's "advice" and whether or not you read with detachment, what we take in, comes from someone's psyche, echoes and transforms and embeds in our own unconscious. And so we are, however subtly, taking on some part of a psyche - the logic, beliefs etc., that leads to seeing life as not worth living, regardless of how enlightening it seems on the face of it." Something to do with epistemological...something?
> You believe all we need is the fine and then the company goes under ?

No I don't believe that. There will be firings, demotions, lost bonuses, etc. Maybe there should be more of that, maybe not. A CEO may step down and have trouble finding a similar position, etc.

I don't actually have a suggestion of a better way, I just agree that you can't automatically throw one person into jail.
I'm glad to hear that works for you.

I'm a customer of several smallish (but bigger than 10 employees) services and if I'm paying something like $120/year for something even remotely useful, I'm not going to switch unless the competition solves a specific problem or I'm really mad at the current provider. In the former case I would at least have told support about my problem.

I do believe that there is "enough" money to be made solving real-world problems for people and treating them like humans so they aren't going to drop you like a hot rock at the first chance. I'm happy to see some voices confirming that in this thread.
Many of CA's problems stem from the propositions that voters buy (are sold) into.

not sure about a group specifically about stopping fake news.
gardening, re-decorating, fixing broken things, putting up new pictures and paintings, working out, baking, cooking, new recipes, biking, skiing, running, swimming in lakes, outdoor 'socially distant' gatherings. i bought a snow mobile and learning to drive it is a great challenge
That just makes Jobs all the more impressive since he was the one who patched things up with Microsoft. Both Gates and Jobs are on record saying to each other that the other's company made their own company better.
That's not a bad idea. You could use
some kind of USB dongle connected to a wearable? Once you walk away from computer it takes a picture of the screen( looks like nothing is changed), but the computer immediately locks down everything except what's currently on the screen.
Only a password along with the wearable would unlock it? (It's probally not easily feasible, but it doesn't sound impossible?) "Oh, I scratched my head, and my computer hard drive shut down."
> Some people just want to have a decent life and spend time thinking about things other than work.

A few years ago when the first rumblings of "everyone is an entrepreneur" and "be your own brand" and all that stuff with books I read a book called Life, Inc, by Douglas Rushkoff. It helped me realize that the people who thought that living your life like you are corporation comes from a particular worldview that deifies people like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and the like. It equates that view of life as the best, nay only, way to live and succeed.

Personally, I love programming, and I love other activities. I tolerate some corporatization of myself for programming because it pays the bills. I would never want to be an entrepreneur or run a company. I hate doing all the other stuff that running a business requires.

Not that love being a wage slave, but that I have better things to do with my life than sell my skills.
Most politicians don't fan the flames of hatred, misinformation and sedition from their Twitter account so they'll be fine.
Dumb as green paint, but, I secretly hope this type of stuff, that has been living just under the surface of the internet, comes to the surface for all to see plain as day.

I think there will be a time when even the average user is conscious of the route his or her packets take, and the events that can occur during that transitory period.
He hasn’t been charged with anything, so no. I would like to think Twitter would ban any public figure who appears to be inciting a second terrorist attack mere days after inciting a first one.
When /r/the_donald got booted off reddit they got together and created https://thedonald.win/.

All this action from twitter will do is create an opportunity for a different or new site to host trump's comments. And for many people, and maybe someday the majority of people, that new site may be more trustworthy than twitter.
Nice and fast. Especially like the "Check" animation. But no detection of stalemate condition in endgame. Otherwise, great to see a WASM chess engine ;)
Don't use their platform?

If it's disruptive for one private company to kick someone off, then perhaps they shouldn't have that much control over communication?
I keep hearing this argument, to which I have to answer: at no point, ever, in 2020 or 2021 did the other side - which you are trying to equate with Trump - organize an attack on the United States Congress while the totality of our elected officials were in session.

Trying to equate people rioting on the streets with an organized pseudo-coup-by-proxy is ridiculous and it just sounds like you are trying to give one side an excuse by using whataboutism.
Said the frog in the slowly warming water.
"But someone saying they don't believe the election results should not be silenced. Its their right to free speech and the US constitution guarantees it."

This isn't right.

1) This is not about people disputing the election results. That happens in plain day on new News and other places and it's uncensored. The current concern is about inciting violence, talking about kidnapping people on capitol hill etc..

2) There is really no '1st Amendment' argument on any of these platforms, it literally doesn't apply. You don't have any right whatsoever to say anything via Apple's App Store, or on Parler. It's entirely up to them and the 1st Amendment has nothing to do with it. Those platforms deal in content, so they can do as they please - for better or for worse.

"The whole reason you had a bunch of desperate crazies storming congress is an extreme effort to silence speech"

Again - this is completely upside down.

The President using the legitimate authority of his office to spread outright lies in the face of all evidence is what is 'causing the problem'.

The fact we have 1000 different ways to communicate with each other and amplify misinformation is enabling much of this to take place in the commons - not the other way around.

It's completely disingenuous to suggest that the 'lack of information on Facebook and Twitter' is somehow 'the problem' when it's Trump's usage of said platforms to spread absolutely false information that is driving people to anger.

FYI - you can say anything you want about 'election fraud' on Twitter, FB, in the news, on so many platforms and nobody will bother with you.

We need integrity in all of our systems.

That said it'd be better if large corporations were not having to wade in with policy.
Useless nonsense.
Nice quote - "The three most harmful addictions are heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly salary."
Something like what? Litvinenko was as absolute nobody, without access to any privileged information, and without any original ideas. He is only famous for dying in a bizare way. Putin clearly didn't do it. He may be ruthless, or even a psychopath, but he's not stupid. He gained nothing from that incident, and his enemies gained a lot. Now, who likely did it--people who gained from it, and could only stand to gain from it, or people who lost from it, and could only stand to lose from it?
Yikes. One of the top hits is for (what appears to be) Jamie Cullum's posterous. Can't tell if it's actually his or just a fan site. But your trick doesn't seem to work for it.

Posted by me in his comments section:

"The feeling of understanding can, however, be deceptive. There are lot’s of high IQ, well read and honest (as in not consciously trying to mislead) people who disagree about solutions to problems they both feel they understand and have easily explained (tough often differing) mental models of. The issue of vouchers in the first comment is a good example. The “brighter” person does not seem to realize that the greatest benefit of vouchers (according to some, including me) is that they will give an incentive to innovation. This is something that cannot be adequately tested for in small controlled experiments. Your heuristic is great for detecting nonsense but it can’t help you find truth."

PS. I'm not discussing vouchers today.
Regarding conversion rates, people have been trained to distrust email, but the same isn't necessarily true for blogs. If a spammer put together a well-worded "spam" message — especially if it's something people write about all of the time, like electronics, music or book reviews, etc. — it's not unreasonable to expect conversion rates would be much higher.
This sounds like they're basically copied what's been happening in the UK, where photographers in public places have been harassed and sometimes arrested. The excuse given is usually that photographs could aid terrorists in planning an attack, but of course the notion that terrorists abstain from using Flickr, Google street view or Google Earth is absurd.

In the UK the "war on photography" has been going on for at least the last few years. For an example see http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/video/2010/feb/21/police-arrest...
Agriculture is strategic to a country, I would say like military is. And you don't let strategic market in the hands of international trade agreements.
I understood the point of the article, but I have trouble believing that Android manufacturers will be able to build something people will want to buy for $100 that Apple won't be willing to match.
You just reminded me about the OLPC program, or the 100$ laptop.

We are getting pretty close, aren't we.
more convenient? no.

i would certainly rather have a small bank of interchangeable buttons for the 1/2 dozen items below my sink (dishwasher pods, 408, windex, sponges, trash bags, dish soap) than having to (with wet hands) find my phone/app/screen/button/click. those, of course, would be different than the small bank of buttons near the shelf in the garage. which would be different than the small bank of buttons in the laundry room.

would it make the inside of the sink cabinet door nicer-looking to have an app in my pocket? probably. also, this isn't a zero-sum thing. we can have both!
iMessage is backdoored? Evidence please?
Government work. Definitely government work. Ideally in some municipal office managing internal applications. Now that said, don't come crying to us if in 10 years when people get downsized that you cannot find a job elsewhere since the industry has moved on when really it's your skills that atrophied.
