True, but it looks like 2019-nCoV may be different from these cases.

https://www.statnews.com/2020/02/04/two-scenarios-if-new-cor...

It’s still possible that quarantines and travel bans will first halt the outbreak and then eradicate the microbe, and the world will never see 2019-nCoV again, as epidemiologist Dr. Mike Ryan, head of health emergencies at the World Health Organization, told STAT on Saturday. That’s what happened with SARS in 2003.

Many experts, however, view that happy outcome as increasingly unlikely.

No, "array" would be unambiguous. Asking for a list of different elm species a valid interpretation.
Since it is claimed that climate warming is bad, i wonder what is the correct average temperature that our planet should have? Should it be like it was in the early eighteen-hundreds before the industrial revolution?
Which is my point.

Consciousness and computation are entirely up to what we define these words to mean. At some point we have to settle on a satisfactory definition of consciousness that fully differentiates it from computation, or they’re left with at least some overlapping (analogous) meaning.

If we dismiss consciousness as currently unknowable us, and thus undefinable (as your statement about dimensions alludes to), then how can we say assume with certainty, that we haven’t already achieved conscious AI?

I'll support tomrod. Because his experience, though not exact, reflects mine. You can see many others coming out of the woodworks too. People that were taught to hide their feelings because that's the only way they can amend their relationships with their families. Eventually enough anecdotal evidence is just data. I'll give support to tomrod.
$100 billion in one fund. $32 billion accounted for in other funds [0]. Not to mention 2% of the land in Florida, several billion dollars in commercial and residential real estate. Who knows what else they're hiding.

And 16 million members is fools' accounting. It doesn't account for the millions of people like me who don't go to church and yet are still members because I don't want to pay money to hire a lawyer to force the church to take my name off the records.

but the amount of traveling chinese is still much much smaller than to larger western european countries.

Consider that Italy has had 3 cases to date: a chinese couple from Wuhan and an italian who was repatriated from Wuhan and is in quarantine.

There are 300k chinese nationals in Italy and about 20k in Hungary, and while I love Budapest the amount of chinese tourists is nothing compared to those in Rome.

I've been doing this kind of thing for years, to the point of managing highly complex multi-million dollar multidisciplinary projects very successfully with basic text files.

When you get right down to it, it's the embodiment of a Kanban system in a text file. Because I have so much to manage every single project has its own text file in the relevant directory. In other words, I don't have one text file to rule them all. This makes sense because of the multidisciplinary nature of our work. I could be running Solidworks doing mechanical and optical design one day, coding FPGA's the following week, embedded software next and running Altium for electronics design at the same time. Each major discipline gets its own text file. I call them "Project Log - <relevant designator goes here>".

This is what they would look like for a hypothetical home sprinkler controller:

Project Log - Sprinkler Controller
--------------------------------------------------- WORKING ON NOW
- Chase down VC for that $25MM check

--------------------------------------------------- TO DO
- Decide on form factor
- Decide on votage (12 or 24?)
- Measure current of typical sprinkler valve
- Draw basic block diagram
- Conformal coating?
- Start mechnical design
- Injection mold of CNC machine enclosure?
- Off the shelf enclosure a possibility?
- Start electrical design
- What type of connectors do we use?
- Does it have to be IP-something rated?

--------------------------------------------------- IDEAS
- Nuclear powered?
- Maybe solar power is better
- Transparent case to see blinking LED's inside?
- How about just buying one from Home Depot?

--------------------------------------------------- CONTACTS
- Talk to applications engineer at Arrow: <name>@arrow.com
- Talk to Intel about using new 20+ core processor: <name>@intel.com

--------------------------------------------------- RESEARCH
- Article on the advantages of 32 core 64 bit processors for sprinkler systems
http://example.com/32-core-processors-for-sprinkler-controllers

--------------------------------------------------- DONE
- Decide how many output channels we need
- Decide on maximum BOM cost
- Talk to VC's about raising $25MM for the 32 core 64 bit processor sprinkler controllers
- We have one VC very interested in this!

Over the years this approach has proven to be highly effective in managing anything from small to very large and highly complex projects. I mostly use OneNote for research and note taking and, if team collaboration is required, a multi-user Kanban board where I distill relevant cards from my text files for the appropriate team/board.

Another nice thing about text-based Kanban is that it can travel with version control.
I used to be in the "Triangle Linux Users Group" in the early 2000s -- it seems they are still active! https://trilug.org

Back when running Linux on the desktop was a full time job, it was really cool to have an in person network to talk to when your latest kernel compilation bricked your system or whatever. It was also cool since RedHat is based in the Triangle we'd get people from RedHat coming to the user group all the time and could get all the dirt on them.

Isn't that what a chip does, which basically all modern credit cards have in the US now?

And all my major credit cards also allow me to generate one-time use numbers to use online, which I need to sign in to generate using 2FA.

Finally, I've never been "blamed" for fraudalent transactions. They've happened but I've never had to pay, nor do I know anybody who has.

So really not sure what you're upset about?

This is an interesting development. I didn't know about that Supreme Court decision. So it effectively allows merchants to communicate a credit card surcharge as exactly that to customers, letting them know that it is caused by using a particular card?

Does that also allow merchants to put an additional surcharge depending on the card used onto a receipt? Or has that been deemed legal in an earlier ruling? Because I always thought the big card networks had some kind of legally binding contract with merchants which prohibits the addition of surcharges that only apply to their particular payment method - contract clauses that they could only muscle through because merchants effectively didn't have the possibility to just not accept Visa or MasterCard payments, while most of their competitors accepted them.
‘Senior’ doesn’t mean anything except within a single company. My very first job was as a ‘senior’. See it as just level X within some company and don’t worry about the word itself and don’t try to compare.
“Journalist” isn’t clearly defined, but they do have some special privileges in many countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism#Legal_status:

”Journalists in many nations have some privileges that members of the general public do not, including better access to public events, crime scenes and press conferences, and to extended interviews with public officials, celebrities and others in the public eye.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporter%27s_privilege:

”Reporter's privilege in the United States (also journalist's privilege, newsman's privilege, or press privilege), is a "reporter's protection under constitutional or statutory law, from being compelled to testify about confidential information or sources."”

Also, in some (¿many, I would think, but I don’t know stats?) countries the justice system will weigh the right of the public to know against law infractions when deciding whether to prosecute journalists who performed crimes in order to gather information.

For an example, see the pentagon papers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers). All concerned knew the information was top-secret and stolen, but in the end, nobody got convicted for publishing them.
There's no reason consumer routers couldn't have this feature. They didn't have guest vlans and child vlans in the past either.
I was the in the "Computer Club" in highschool, in the late 90's early 00's. In retrospect it was quite amazing that we lucked out, because what happened was a guy who had been working in the industry decided he wanted to bring computing to his hometown, and so left the industry and used his contacts to push for a top-notch tech center in the high-school. It was one of the very first high schools to have the Cisco Networking Academy for example, so many of us had our CCNA before we had even left high school. We were issued laptops and cisco routers... which at the time I thought was awesome but it didn't dawn on me till I was older just how much this one person had done for us kids. It was he who encouraged us who ended up always in the tech center to start the computer club, and do things like compete in the VICA (now SkillsUSA competitions) and we regularly dominated.

It was under his tutelage I first installed RedHat linux, and he would have us do things like CTF's with each of our issued routers/laptops to teach us practical security.

Most of our events we organized ended up being basically LAN gaming parties, but back in that day gaming required you to know some basic networking stuff so it was also used to hone those skills. Once a month we would do all friday night lock in's, mostly playing Half-Life, Team-Fortress, Quake, Counter-Strike, or Unreal Tournament, and sometimes Starcraft/Warcraft. Lots of Jolt soda, mountain dew, and Bawls combined with pizza.

Some really good times that I look back on fondly, and I often wonder what all the guys are up to these days. I'm sure almost all of them ended up in some facet of the industry, but it was quite fun to teach me that you can't judge a book by it's cover. We had jocks playing football and the rest of the time in the computer center with us. We had stoners. We had a handful of girls. It was a very diverse group that broke the sterotype and I loved it.

I really am thankful to that man for bringing the future to my high-school so that many of us had a headstart in the industry ourselves.
This isn't about having a minimal install. It merely removes links to paint and Wordpad.

The article is inaccurate. Removing these will actually remove files from the system and not just links.

I suspect it's done because they consider Paint and Wordpad to be deprecated and want to help discourage use.

This is definitely not the reason.
I use Everything [0], a similar program which is designed to stay resident and essentially become part of your keyboard muscle memory.

You're right, depends on the perspective.

From Huawei/CCP standpoint it's a feature. For everyone else, it's a flaw.
Ah, OK, so when the battery started failing a dialog came up "battery expired: do you want to enter low power mode" and people clicked yes?

> Makes sense from a practical viewpoint. You're more vulnerable [..] and even moreso if the sun is right in your eyes.

"Dogs, like everyone, don't like the sun in their eyes." would be enough of an explanation for me. Predators even don't like the sun in their eyes, that's why they attack with sun behind them, if they can. Wouldn't make much sense for the dog to turn it's back in the most likely direction a predator is going to attack.
> Innovative economies generally develop strong IP protection around the same time they become innovative.

This is another way of saying "actors in less advanced economies ignore IP protections until they've more or less caught up".

That was the US IP strategy, which it now decries when others follow it. Enabled by faster international feedback loops, China is, er, innovating on the strategy, simultaneously weaponizing IP law while also expropriating through various means.
There is no bright line for when something is or is not an emulator. It's not worth thinking about too much. There is a surprisingly smooth spectrum from "direct emulation of hardware gates" through "full recompilation to the target architecture", with a ton of mixing and matching of all the techniques.
I’ve found OneNote very useful for Todo lists. It’s very flexible and supports collapsible nested lists. But the killer feature is the “dock to desktop” feature, which makes the list always visible on my monitor. It forces me to stay on task and reminds me what to do next. I create a new page every week and copy over my remaining tasks from the last week. I’ve been doing this for 3 years now and haven’t looked back.
I’ve been in an environment where technical’s chops weren’t a way to become senior. The software reflected this. I didn’t like it.

The 21st century has burdened the human psyche with a wonderful array of problems—most of which are invisible, abstract things.

It's taken some time figuring out how to make them real. Doesn't feel like anybody created a tool to help manage these abstract monsters. We still do not know ourselves that well. Not in this strange world.

Whenever I hear someone say, "Just use paper", part of me agrees. Paper is simple. It's easy to use. Plain text too. Simple.

I wonder if that's the best we can do.

I use paper. I use plain text. I use everything. Against the enormity of everything I want to do and the unfinished thoughts that repeat, it feels like nothing.

I've discovered small tips here and there. I'm making progress. I'm learning how to work with myself. But if I'm honest, the enormity of what's before me is infuriating and immense.

It's something like the question of how we want to live our lives.

I wonder if there's a tool for that.

In the early 2010s I worked for Fiserv, who at the time provided "online bill pay" services to about 80% of US banks (I don't recall if they're in Canada or not). The overwhelming majority of the bank customers using that service held beliefs similar to what you expressed... it's an online payment through my bank, why on earth would it be a paper check?? They were wrong. The really fun thing about that system was that the customer had absolutely no way to tell what kind of payment the system was going to send to a given payee. A payment that processed electronically for years could suddenly go as a physical check for any number of reasons. Maybe the customer changed something that was slightly incorrect... maybe they should have changed something but didn't... maybe the system just had a hiccup that day.

Regardless of who makes your bill pay service or exactly how it works, my main advice if you use any bill pay service is to ready the fine print very closely and be sure you understand what you have to do to be covered (late fee reimbursement, etc) if a payment does get screwed up.
Great, you recovered the memory. But now you have to update all the pointers to the array in the hashmap....
The post is predicated upon assumptions surrounding the risk to recurring revenue cash flows from SaaS customers. I'm not sure why the author thinks these cash flows can be well understood enough to securitize to support lending -- it'd be good to understand what's changed recently (given that the first SaaS companies are more than 20 years old) that lead one to believe debt markets can now suddenly price risk on these revenue streams now.

In other words, why should we expect this now, if it hasn't happened already? If we suddenly saw debt markets becoming attracted to startups, I'd put just as much weight upon it as a cultural norm shifting than fundamental analysis showing a change to the risk profile. And you know what that means: if it's a cultural change, not justified by new evidence, it's either a late realization (safe, and regrettable) or irrational (incredibly dangerous.)

Show HN: Travitious – A better way to spend free time
Hi there,

My name is Kristaps and I'm a co-founder of an early-stage startup called Travitious.

Here in Latvia, (a small country in Europe near Baltic sea) alternative tourism is gaining real popularity. Mostly on holidays, people are willing to spend some quality time in nature but all the tourist known places nearby been visited gazillion times already and don't excite as it did before.

Travitious offers alternative tourism in combination with adventurous and mysterious problem-solving challenges. You can do the challenges by yourself or form a larger group to get the most out of teamwork. After signing up for a challenge, you will unlock the first clue and further instructions to get to the first location. Every location will allow you to explore some new places or gain a new perspective for already known ones, and take you one step closer to complete a challenge and who knows - maybe finishing at the top compared to other teams.

We would appreciate your feedback. Would you be engaged to use Travitious?

Have a good one,
Kristaps from Travitious
> Their research brought up an interesting question: Could attackers somehow bridge the gap between the physical IoT network (the lightbulbs) and attack even more appealing targets, such as the computer network in our homes, offices or even our smart city?

Does this surprise anyone? Was this really a question brought up by their research? A computer with a network connection is a computer with a network connection, no matter how small.
A mortality rate of 3% is 30-100x that of the common flu. It does not “map rather closely”, and comparing total deaths from an endemic disease like the flu to a brand new one that hasn’t spread globally yet is highly intellectually dishonest, and I think you know that.

In addition to mortality rate, a highly contagious illness that puts 10-20% of infected in the ICU will quickly overwhelm even the most developed healthcare systems.

“Panic” is never really warranted, but there’s a reason China put their entire economy on lockdown. They have the data that you don’t, and they seem pretty concerned.

Whether we should shut down airports is a discussion worth having, but whether this is a serious global threat has already been well established. Unclear on why you seem determined to ignore the experts, none of whom seem to think this is no big deal.
> "The study was truly blind."

I'd argue the study would only be truly blind if the dogs were blind. If blind dogs also oriented themselves north-south, then that would prove that they weren't using visual cues for alignment, such as the position of the sun.
