Great idea, I love it. Only reason I can think of is fear of lawsuit. "they reused a mask and I caught xyzzy" - of course there is no proof that was the source, but nuisance lawsuits are common.
I'm continuing work on my backyard food forest, great exercise, food for my family, beautiful to look at and be in, and safe for physical distancing.

I'm also working on "MakePostSell" a shop platform for selling digital downloads.

My wife who is a certified teacher is my first "customer" dog fooding the service: you may check it out her shop here:

The links I added in my edit suggests that using non-invasive, constant positive air pressure (C-PAP) with a closed mask could help certain patients from needing intubation and ICU as early (or at all). If this turns out to be the case, this might reduce the overload on the hospital system. They might be attempting it in Italy. Hopefully, it works.
Epidemiologists say that influenza is easier to control. Irrelevant distraction relevant to topic says that only school here and there has to be closed to contain it. Epidemiologists say on that that one infected person with influenza infects less people then one infected with corona.

Epidemiologists do count with overwhelmed hospitals and services, excess deaths due that that, excess deaths on unrelated heath problems. It not just something they talk about, they have it in their models too. This does not happen with influenza, because it is easier to control. Irrelevant distraction there is Italy or Spain lately.

Epidemiologists do talk also about costs after epidemic ends, in treatment of people who will need care for long.

What amateurs do is to ignore all the above, pick up case fatality ration in well run non-overwhelmed health care system and pretend that is situation same as influenza to feel good.
That’s exactly how first death in Russia was recorded. That patient died from preexisting condition and her lungs were not affected by corona.
You'd trust The Economist (or the CBO) to be the arbiter of what other people are allowed to say? That's what my comment says, not "trust any institution to avoid telling obvious lies" (that being said, I've read some pretty dishonest stuff in the Economist, despite generally being a fan).
I can go with this deal of course. But those private people would definitely decline this kind of promo as we called it. This is great for Vloggers who review their stays in hotels all over the world. And Japan is a nice country.
Imposing taxes on poor people who have little agency/power seems kind of pointless.
This looks like an interesting note, I'll seek it out and read it.
And pretty much any widely used language already provides functional features.
Why would it have a high centre of gravity? Wouldn't the battery pack be most of the mass and live right at the bottom?
> One of their most underrated features is aliases. You have up to 500 email addresses on each account, which means all of your subscriptions can be a different email account, and those accounts can't be correlated by 3rd-parties.

This is an amazing feature that I utilise all the time. I just however wish I could easily reply from that alias, as opposed to my primary one.

Yes, I know you can have a wildcard send-from address like *@account.yourdomain.com, but it will default to account@yourdomain.com and you have to manually select and replace the wildcard with the email you want to send from. As opposed to just auto-filling out the From field with the address that initially received the email.
This isn't the same cstore as in Stonebraker et al, right? http://db.csail.mit.edu/projects/cstore/
This is sort of my bread and butter. I almost predominantly use siteleaf.com and prismic.io as my cloud based CMS solutions. They both have great APIs that can be easy to consume depending on your setup.

I do all of my site building in Middleman, and during the Middleman build process consume the requisite API to load into Middleman's local data method. Upon complete, I sync everything up to S3. I use Heroku just for its Scheduler and run the compile every 10 minutes.

It's kind of neat, because I can have the Middleman scaffolding sitting in a repo, and the content sitting in Siteleaf/Prismic for the client to play with. And the hosting on S3 costs ~$3/month. It makes for a pretty dynamic static site.
Very interesting. You say "Within an hour or so each GET shows up in the logs for the S3 bucket wherever we’re sending the logs for our S3 example.bucket." Is this frequency configurable? I also see at the link below that the logs are best effort and they may drop messages. How is this for you in practice?

I'd pay $25 for permanent access and/or an offline version.
However I dislike the 6 month access a lot, and it burns a little of the good will I have.
Did I say merely?

Blackberry is asking for recognition that they can not compete in their own industry. Not because they aren't able to build phones or write phone software or any other sensible reason. There is a barrier to the phone market for all but a few blessed companies.

They are asking that legal action be brought to bear on the situation.

Any time one looks at the interaction markets and laws they will find that both regulation and the lack of regulation can unfairly benefit the few over the many. One cannot snub regulation OR deregulation of markets merely on ideology.

There is an implicit snub here: "Blackberry looking for regulation as a handout. How corrupt - they must not be able to compete because they suck and are looking for some other avenue."

I argue that the reason Blackberry can't compete isn't due to their 'sucking' (they may or may not 'suck'), but due to other fundamentally asymmetric market forces that favor few enshrined parties at the cost of the many who would want to compete.

I say this not as a supporter of BlackBerry (I've never owned a BB device, never planned to, and dislike them for backdooring their devices for governments).

Instead I say this as a consumer who wants real choices and real market competition, and as a techie who would like to see software compatibility at large.
> Frameworks are most often a bad idea. Use libraries instead.

People say this a lot, and it makes me wonder if they've ever worked on a team working on the same codebase. And if they do, what secret sauce they're drinking to not go insane.

In my experience, when people on a team use libraries at their whim, the coding styles diverge wildly from feature to feature. One person decides they're going to write all their AJAX callbacks in an anonymous function; another likes to reference a function directly; another likes to both; and yet another uses promises.

And as soon as someone needs to fix someone else's project, they do some combination of (a) getting wildly frustrated with this other coding style, (b) rewire their mental model to adapt to this new style, (c) spend a week rewriting it in their own style, (d) introduce a ton of bugs in the process, or (e) by some miracle, get it to work perfectly.

So to combat this, the team works out coding standards and a style guide. You must tab with two spaces! You must pass a real Javascript function to your callbacks! You must separate your state from your view!

And of course, once your style guide is big enough, lo and behold: you have your own hand-rolled framework. And hopefully it's tight enough that everyone writes in the same style, but is still expressive, and is still simple enough for a new team member to learn quickly.

So if you're just starting a codebase, it makes complete sense to pick a framework on the outset because people have already gone through that headache for you.
It all seems more amateurish with every additional piece of news coverage - why a single decryption key or even your day-to-day laptop as storage for that multitude of evidence! Surely you don't need 4 years of chat logs to run a site on a day to day basis.
I wasn't referring to "cell", I was referring to "phone". Just like with "vacuum" and "cleaner". You don't need to be an engineer to understand that the first one is used to make phone calls, and the second one to clean.

Augmented reality, on the other hand...
I'd say its more about living within your means and having the motivation to spend on what you decide matters. Although if they splurge on activities like that on a regular basis it would be an entirely different story.

At 23, I was making sub 6 figures and bought a ~$3000 plane ticket at the last minute to visit some friends around the Mediterranean.
Socket.IO is for pubsub only, Gotalk is much more versatile than that.
This is one of the most awesome things for web-based GUIs ever. Performance seems to be decent on my mid-range to high-end mobile devices. Great work!
I just read through this document:

https://freebarrettbrown.org/files/BB_factualresume.pdf

Sounds like he not only became a lulzsec negotiator and obstructor, he later threatened an FBI agent and well as that agent's children. Uh yeah, the far left wants to make this asshole a hero? You guys need better heroes. Mitnick, Hammond, Ulbricht, Omari, lizard squad, etc. These guys are all pretty much scumbags and clearly criminals from a non-biased perspective. The mental gymnastics of deifying these scumbags is mystifying.
You could be grabbed by agents and held there in your chair while another agent starts working on your files.

My idea would be more of a proximity sensor that not only does the RFID-walkaway thing, but also locks the machine up if anyone additional to yourself approaches the device.
Is there a technical reason why Microsoft doesn’t use IdentityServer4 with its implementation of the OpenId Connect and Oauth2 technologies. https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4. They seem to be pushing it quite hard in Visual Studio and it appears to be designed for this very use case (cross domain authentication). Or do even they think it’s too overkill for GitHub ;)
Then the life of the executioner must be taken as well. Unless of course, there is an exception granted, in which case the taking of a life isn’t necessarily grounds for execution, so there is no absolute truth to the matter and it is open for interpretation. It is not as simple as you make it sound.
That's correct. You're going to have to learn what it's like to be told "You don't know what you're talking about, and your guesses are in fact not as good as the expertise of other people".

The fact that this is so hard for you to hear is the reason that we're having this discussion. People in the majority are have become accustomed to not just having opinions, but to have their opinions override those of other people because they are the majority.

They've gotten used to being told to shut up, and now majorities are starting to learn how that feels. It's not great.
Because:

1. 1% Michael Bloomberg billionaire decided it wasn't convenient anymore and sent in the cops to beat heads to clear them out.

2. Vague movements rarely are organized enough to have clear goals, a clear plan to get there, and sustain interest, attention, and involvement to achieve them. You don't ask billionaires for a donation because they'll never give more than a dollar. And you don't camp-out at their offices because they control the cops, the government, and it looks weak. Once the physical presences of OM were lost, the community, social, and political bonds were severed because the people weren't serious and committed to seeing real change through; instead, they treated it like a Wall St. Woodstock.

If citizens were serious about recouping loot stolen from working people, there are only two things billionaires understand: money and survival. If a movement can't effectively threaten either of those, then they are irrelevant. This dynamic of under-regulated capitalism is the fault of the billionaires, and how their grotesque greed snatched defeat from the jaws of obscene success and just handed it over to likely rapid upheaval and an unproven, alternative system.
You could A/B test with a single person!
Ah, Zope, that wonderful monstrosity. I build a purchase order system for my company in it back in the day. It made that type of business app very easy, as long as you didn't expect any kind of performance or scalability. The magic of Zodb was also its weakness. But even today, I think it would still be faster to develop a basic business app in Zope than in Django.
It's crazy the a phone number is a secret. The problem isn't having the phone numbers; it's all the terrible systems that only work if phone numbers are secret.
From what I know, HANA also keeps a copy on disk at all times. The "in-memory" label is valid because a full copy of all database contents is held in memory, and all reads are performed on that copy.

Disclosure: I work at SAP, but neither on HANA nor on any part of the "SAP system". (I'm in the cloud infrastructure unit.)
Nothing but a textbook example of Victor's Justice. Had the Japanese won, those trials would have taken place (well, executions at least, perhaps not trials).
Google services are free the way the food for the rabbits was free in "Watership Down."
Agreed. I'm still hurt with the killing of Google Reader and the Wave(Pfft).
An employer who thought the f-bomb in a hacker news post spoke poorly of my communicative abilities would not be my ideal employer.
Indeed and I think caching all your search queries is a vastly more effective way to figure out how to advertise you than Google+ but I suspect they must see some value in it else why do it.
I've been waiting for this rewrite! By the looks of this page, you've done a fine job. Excellent work team ClojureQL! I'm looking forward to giving it a test run.
I think this article plays on a limited mentality.

But really, how does the actions of these big internet companies hinder the development of new industries and businesses?

Did the existence of Yahoo Mail or Hotmail stop the development of Facebook (both communications mediums).
Yelp didn't stop the growth of Groupon, etc. etc.

So, if the author is suggesting that there won't be another location based game like FourSquare, so what? We don't need more businesses doing the same thing, there are so many things out there that haven't been done yet.

This isn't the end of internet growth or a 'playground for startups' any more than the airplane stopped the innovation of the automobile.
Pretty reasonable, from someone who has been following postgres for 10 years. I'm not sure I'd say that postgres covers 95% of use cases, as it really only covers single master. That is probably the most common case, but I'd have a hard time putting numbers on it. Extra features cut both ways, some apps are better with postgres, some with MySql.

Postgres was 'late' to the replication party, and only in this last release have they had hot slave machines. (with core functionality, 3rd party has a range of alternatives). Currently, it is single master, multi slave replication. Previously, it was been a warm spare arrangement, up to 1 WAL log behind, for durability, and not for load balancing. There were ways of making it less laggy, but it was not trivial to restore a log, bring the db up, and then be in a position to restore another log.
But the use of an existing game engine or other substantial middleware might impose certain idioms on you. I worked on an MMO myself, though not on game logic. Anyway, I agree that Clojure's strengths being used in gamedev is an exciting prospect!
And who's fault is this? It's not hard to make a good app. I could implement XMPP messaging in the Facebook app given a few hours and given a few days for a couple other missing bits, I could get the feature parity down to nothing between the Android and iOS Facebook app. Why this hasn't happened, despite the explosive growth of Android, despite the fact that Zuckerberg is now an Android-user, etc, I don't know...

but the unintelligent comments here and on Engadget are frustrating. Blame the app developers, not the platform. That's just silly.
yup i have been freezing my a.. off here in htown
.NET is a big advantage of F#. Like with Scala and JVM, it gives you access to a mainstream ecosystem of libraries. A lack of libraries is usually what makes niche languages unsuitable for production, but F# handily side-steps this. Arguably, F# has a larger ecosystem than C#, since it can also consume JS libraries using Fable!

Mono is no longer required to get started with F#. All you need now is .NET Core.
How one can prove a choice? Once you acted on this or that you simply cannot go back in time and choose something else.

If you cannot change what you choose, there was never a choice. There was only one path (previously defined OR randomly defined), the one that you “chose”.

“I’ve could chose different” is only fiction at this point.

Choice would be so hard to describe. All animals have can choose? (what brain function makes choice available for a being?) Are we “special” animals? (even worse)

Free will is an ilusion and I think believing otherwise is like believing in god. An attempt to justify our lives.

But yes, the experiment in question seems totally flawed.
I feel like the story would have been different if they made it the size of the 4... Right now the “mini” would have still been considered a large phone in the 3GS days.
Boomberg was always very apologetic of China, if not to say bordering on lobbying for them.

No wonder, Bloomber is one of very, very, very few Western media operating in China through a franchise agreement.
I don't think Comma would pass compliance as any control-related automotive system, much less a self-driving one, at any established automotive manufacturer in a regulated market (US, EU). The code isn't written to any commercial audit standard that I can tell, the hardware is COTS mobile phone hardware, and change management and testing (in a formal sense) seems pretty much non-existent. Most manufacturers demand compliance with standards like ISO 26262 for liability reasons. Arguments about the value of these kinds of standards aside, it's vanishingly unlikely that any mature automaker would buy Comma's product as it stands - a major or nearly complete overhaul would be required. Now, that's not to say they couldn't sell into a less-mature company or one in an unregulated market, but I don't think the opportunity for them is as great as it seems.

EDIT: On an additional reading of https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/SAFETY.md Comma claim to be ISO 26262 compliant on the premise that there's no real risk model, because the driver is paying attention and will simply take back control. One could call this the "Elon Model" to safety compliance. I suppose it works for some manufacturers.

It does seem that starting around 2018, Comma added a C layer to their CAN intercept board (Panda) which audit-checks some safety-critical CAN messages to bounds-check the control inputs. That's... a start, but not really a detailed risk analysis model by any means.
Agreed! The fact that the top two comments usually disagree is one of the primary reasons I read comments on HN. The dialectic allows me to make an informed decision later.
It could be selection bias: the good angels are busy chasing good startups, not going for dinner with a bunch of has-beens.

Or it could be that there are no good angels nearby. Hard to tell. Hopefully, it's up to you to set the tone and find like-minded investors.
I find I do not look twice at ads on most web pages. However, I have found that I do click on Facebook ads a lot more. Personalization is key.
Most New Zealanders hoped for better. Depending on the poll, somewhere between 60% and 80% of us opposed the GCSB bill.

A little background - our prime minister John Key is a very pragmatic politician, carefully avoiding contentious issues to remain popular and keep his party in power. His actions over the GCSB bill are very out of character - he's pulled in a lot of favours, twisted a lot of arms and spent a lot of hard-earned political capital to get it passed (just). If he loses the next election (still very much up in the air), passing this bill will be largely to blame.

There is a very bad smell about this. He's already changed labour laws purely for Warner Brothers (they threatened to move the Hobbit to eastern Europe), and I'm fairly sure that the GCSB bill is mostly about fixing the legal disaster that the Kim Dotcom exercise has degenerated into. The MAFIAA is a remarkably apt name, given their tactics.

Hey! I’m Perry, a data scientist and engineer who’s spent time in farm tech, e-commerce, medical tech, quantitative finance, and crypto. I have experience building data pipelines, machine learning models, web applications and working with APIs, working mostly in Python. I love leveraging data, machine learning and software to solve meaningful problems with great people. Please reach out if you’re working on anything data related. Here are a few of my recently published projects: https://medium.com/@perryrjohnson7
So this is a slight digress, but while we're on the subject, how does an advertiser know that an ad has been successfully served or blocked? I've never had that part fully explained to me. If they're just basing it on number of adds clicks, I rather doubt whether I use an ad blocker or not makes much difference, because I can more or less guarantee that in the ~18 years I have actively surfed the web, the number of ad links I have consciously clicked is between 0 and 5.

So I assume, then, that they have some way of tracking whether the ad was presented to the end-user?
I love how unchanged the IND is. Canal Street has a new floor, but the wall still looks identical.

(Is the long escalator High St.? If so, they have swapped the up/down directions since 1946. Edit: Probably not; looks like there are actually three escalators there with no staircase in between, while the current configuration is Down Up Stairs Up.)
I've typically done some variation of the following in order to take long road trips with my family:

* Take two or so weeks of vacation.
* Work remotely (hotel, friend's house, coffee shop) for a week or so.
* Take another week or so vacation.
* Alternate working remotely and some time off.

Obviously, this requires a flexible manager, but considering mine often has a similar schedule, it's really not a problem.
WFH actually helps with healthy procrastination. Sometimes I just need to think a bit while washing the dishes or even take a short nap.

There's no secondary task at work to help me rest my mind a little, nor a comfy sofa to get some rest.
She was brilliant, but lets not go overboard. She's not even the biggest name in the fields of math she contributed to.
Sorry, send me an e-mail: Andrew@visidraft.com and we can talk.
I was being handwavy with the values (adding a fixed 20 bytes for header), but let's try something more precise:

the average packet size was 483 bytes (average data
length = 441 bytes)

So header size is 42 bytes (483 - 441). Assuming the request uses the same headers, we have 483 / (1+42) = 11.23 amplification.

My point is: this is important, but not a 440x amplification attack.
