I renewed Sirius recently since they sent me an acceptable deal with free Echo dot.. which I sold.

I will admit that I really like some of the programs. Business channel in particular is decent. Between interviews of Larry Summers and Madeline Albright it feels like a nice departure from BREAKING NEWS COVERAGE.

It looks to me that when medical system is not overwhelmed then the outcome for patients does not look as grim as in Hubei. I think that we will have more clear picture of the situation in coming weeks the cases outside of Hubei are more recent.
In this regard, this submission could be interesting:

Five years ago or so, video from "DARPA robot challenge" type events would easily give the lie to "superb autonomy" claims. I just found this[1] more impressive, but at its 20x playback speed. I imagine that playback at 1x could still serve as a reality-check and counterexample.

You're only thinking about it in the context of your own personal information, though.

There will also be effects on your peers, neighbors, and society around you. There are nation-state actors currently using stolen data for blackmail, extortion, and propaganda campaigns, to influence the economic and political stability of other nations.

Whether or not you are a direct target, you will be affected in some way. While you feel much more closely connected to your local government, they are not generally acting out of malice.
> Only 1% of cases have been registered outside China, in 24 countries (including Spain), with transmission chains (secondary cases from a first imported case) very short so far.

It seems completely unsurprising to me that we aren't seeing more cases in other countries so far - almost every country with the exception of Singapore are only testing people who have been in Hubei (or China, if symptoms are serious). Meanwhile Singapore, which actually has been testing more people, has been finding more and more locally transmitted cases, despite huge efforts tracking down and isolating contacts of previous cases.

>Serious cases and mortality (2%) will be adjusted downwards safely in the coming weeks, as the detection of mild cases increases.

Or it could adjust upward, as it seems to often take 3+ weeks to kill. In Singapore 8/50 cases are in critical condition in the ICU (And Singapore has detected many mild cases, even asymptomatic ones). For the flu in the U.S. it seems about 0.1% of cases end up in the ICU, so that's some compelling evidence that this is 10-100x as dangerous as the flu. And what happens to the fatality rate when we run out of ICU beds, as already happens during particularly bad flu seasons?

I'm not saying this will be globally devastating, but I think the chance is high enough that I'm disappointed more extreme actions aren't being taken worldwide.

edit: I also assume the case numbers in China outside of Hubei have been looking better recently because they also can no longer rely on the fact that a sick person has recently been to Hubei to know who to test.
From what I understand, the medical community is treating this outbreak with such extreme measures because this virus is a perfect storm of factors that could lead to a new annual disease emerging, just like the flu and cold. It's deadly enough to become a major global concern and transmissible enough that it can continue spreading via asymptomatic hosts and other viral reservoirs between outbreaks. The jury is still out on the virus's rate of mutation but other coronaviruses, like the ones that cause a tenth of common colds, are known to mutate rapidly.

If we fail to stop the spread of the virus now, it may become a fact of life with an even higher annual death rate than the flu. We've already got plenty of infectious diseases and based on the data so far, it's worth extreme measures trying to stop it.

I believe that they stay in quarantine wards where everyone is known to be infected, since attempts are still made to treat them.
This seems like equivocation on the meaning of "catching it." Isolating yourself so that you either have no close relationships or somehow never hear about any suicides among your close relationships is a fairly nonsensical proposal, and probably wouldn't in fact decrease your chances of committing suicide.
I think it depends what you consider an error. For example let's say I have a library that opens sockets to hosts. If I can't reach the host that isn't an error and I report back a failure of that function to succeed. If I can't allocate the memory for a socket then instead of reporting a failure to connect I throw an exception for the true error.
The time to do that was when people asked GitHub to stop providing services to ICE to help run concentration camps for children and their military-industrial complex owners at Microsoft just shrugged and said “whatever”. (It continues to date. Microsoft has always been more than happy to sell software to the violent and authoritarian. The Snowden slides are PowerPoint.)

But yes, time to switch. I highly recommend Gitea + Drone, it’s the setup I use. Gitea thankfully supports U2F (and oauth for logging into Drone) which is awesome, and although they took shit for plainly ripping off GitHub’s UI back when GitHub was beloved, it’s super convenient to have a nearly identical UI to switch to now.
Higher prices just introduce a deadweight loss to the consumers, and whatever added utility will just be captured by Verisign.

If we really want to stop squatters, I think we should be charging exponentially increasing prices for each additional domain. A domain could be $10 for a new customer, but cost $10,240 for a firm that already holds 10. Such costs wouldn't be prohibitive for people or companies, but incredibly serious for anyone who wants to squat domains.

If your data is in S3, my experience is that you can push ~20-40MB/core/sec on most instances.

OP is probably talking about an x1e.32xlarge. According to Daniel Vassalo's S3 benchmark [1], it can do about 2.7GB/sec.

So your 4TB DB might take ~30min to fetch.

Bandwidth is free, you'd pay $2 for the 30 min of compute, and some fractions of pennies for the few hundred S3 requests.

FWIW, the XMPCR still works if you can find one. I still have one active from when I got lifetime XM service in 2008, even did the digital out mod.
Sirius used to have some of the best comedy talk radio but all the good talent got fired or watered down. Sirius like most mega corp media companies became very PC conscious, especially after the merger with XM, which is a precarious place for (quality) comedy to exist. Especially as they matured. But early on it was great for that stuff and helped build many of today’s famous comedians careers as guests on the shows.

Now even Howard Stern hardly shows up and is doing puff piece shows with Hillary Clinton in between his reality TV nonsense.

Here are the CDC burden (upper bound) estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season: 30 million infections, 30k deaths. In other words, 0.1% of infections are predicted to be fatal, which is substantially lower than the current estimates for 2019-nCoV.

Ask HN: Best real time data sets?
Not really.

Interrupts are really a polling mechanism: the CPU checks an interrupt line at convenient times and alters its control flow.

Most signaling depends on timing: based on what signals have been seen so far, some other signals must appear within a certain time frame. The new signals are blindly sampled.

For instance, if some device asserts some bus line that it's writing some data, then the data to be written is expected to then appear in some time window. The data lines will be sampled regardless of whether the device actually puts out that data. There is no "device has done it" event, and even the original write indication signal is basically polled.

If we look for a pure cause-and-effect relationship, it's hard to find. A device whose operation is altered by a signal is as much the cause for what happens as is the device which originates that signal.
Deep learning for clinical research imaging

I wonder why this fish hasn't been 'mined' for its hallucinogenic properties yet. Surely some of the more adventurous drug users would jump at a chance to try something this powerful? The article on the fish itself seems to state that it was available in restaurants, so it's not exactly a rare find, I assume.
The someone in question were inexperienced devs fresh from a bootcamp. This is a recipe for failure in every industry from making coffee to making spacecraft.

Perhaps software is somewhat unique that we don't appreciate experience.
I wonder if this points to the problems in the concept of this diagnosis.

It has been seriously questioned since World War II as to whether schizophrenia is even a disease.

The questioners being mostly from the psychoanalytic school (some psychiatrists), all forgotten, may have something to do with it.

In my family more than half of one side of my immediate parent-generation family members have been diagnosed with the disease. Most of them get by with little to no drugs.

All of them were diagnosed in connection with divorce proceedings.

(We had a misunderstanding. You must be hearing voices.)

I could not help but believe, admittedly biased, that this is "health" as a locus of power, blame, and control.

In higher education I had close blind friends who achieved high marks and went on to work in Fortune 500 companies, at a level not unlike people I knew before they got hit with a diagnosis. Did they have disagreements with loved ones? Sure. If they had found themselves in a bitter marriage and divorce, would something they said be weaponized into a diagnosis of mental illness? Maybe. At the rate of the general population? Maybe. I don't know.

I am not criticizing, accosting, or accusing anybody of anything. Just asking some questions.
Yeah, this reminds me of how many 1KB core dumps that I can put into a single memory stick today at a lower price.

Thanks subhashchy. Our opinion is that there are a lot of products that get you "half way", but that still leaves the last few miles to trudge through to have a complete solution. Let me know if there's anything that you think Commerce doesn't provide that would still be missing on your end - we want to make sure we're not just bikeshedding things to death without any outside input.
Not surprisingly most are lisp.
There are degrees of uncertainty, and ranges of plausible severity, even when we haven't actually nailed these down quantitatively. We already have enough information about COVID-19 to raise it far above the threat level of a random virus. And given how quickly and stealthily it seems to be capable of spreading, to take no action beyond 'pursuing more information' would be almost the same as assuming the best possible resolution of our uncertainty. That's no more rational than the other extreme of assuming the very worst.

These comments are either irrational or full of domain squatters and registrars.

This price increase costs a person who own a single domain $3.22 per year. That's conservatively adjusted for inflation, in 2020 dollars, and after 10 years not while it's still increasing. At minimum wage, this price increase is costing you an extra 3.4 to 6.1 seconds per work day, depending on the state.

In other words, if you own a single domain, this increase does not affect you.

It does affect you, though, if you own thousands of domains that you aren't using. The word for that is "domain squatter".

It also affects you if you're a registrar and you're aware that most domains are held by squatters, therefore that most of your revenue comes from squatters.

This price increase doesn't affect me or other legitimate domain holders, has already made my trigger-happy friends tell me they're going to review their domains and let go of the ones they probably won't use, and may even make some types of domain squatting unprofitable. This price increase is good for the internet.

I am interested in differential analyzers too, especially after the anecdotes in Richard Hamming's Learning to Learn (aka Hamming on Hamming)[1] about re-purposing "gun directors" to solve engineering problems.

Some of the mechanisms involved are really elegant, like the torque amplifier[2] which wasn't invented until the 1920s. A tabletop demo of one is on my to-do list.

A generalization which applies to levers, pulleys, and hydraulics is mechanical advantage while conserving energy. You have a system with input work and output work (energy) that are the same, ignoring frictional losses.

Recall that work is force over distance. The mechanical system relates the input and output distances by a scalar coefficient. Since the working distances are related by a ratio, the working forces are related by the reciprocal of that ratio.

You can find the lever and fulcrum ratio with simple geometry. The input and output lever segments are radii, and the travel is distance along two arcs. Since the arc length is directly proportional to radius, the ratio of lever radii translates directly to the same ratio of arc lengths, and the reciprocal ratio is the force multiplier. Your 10:1 lever sweeps 10:1 arc lengths and balances with 1:10 opposing forces.
Isn't what you're describing a symptom of the natural and inevitable crunch into the singularity of digital indoorism?

Going outside at all is a hangover of a rapidly departing age. There's nothing out there anymore. Everything's in your home, except for food. Have it delivered, and you're solid. That just leaves commutes. Insofar as they're necessary, I agree with living in dense, hyperurban hive arcologies where everyone can walk to work/school.

Outside is gauche. It's jejune. Meanwhile, commuting's a necessary evil, and cars are one of the most dangerous and inefficient ways to do it. Update to the new meta or farm outmoded vanity betrayed by its sprawling, parking lot-shaped contradictions.

Humans operate by doing each other favours.

But intuitive tracking of who owes you favors and who you owe favors to does not scale.
