The US system is not exactly perfect but two entrenched parties that actually alternate in power regularly and have very different policies is vast different from a one party state. Japan is a democracy even though the LDP has been in power almost continuously since WWII. The threat of being replaced is enough to make politicians responsive to constituents even if it very rarely actually happens. San Francisco has been governed by Democrats continuously for more than a hundred years. It’s not a one party state. Even the two entrenched parties thing overstates the stability of the US power structure. A European party system with members who choose their candidates is different from the US primary system where anyone can run and unseat an incumbent do has the backing of the party grandees. The Republican Party did not want Trump. The voters chose him. The Democratic Party does not want Sanders. He’s still going to be the Democratic nominee for President. The Tea Party for the Republicans or DSA for the Democrats are instances of the same phenomena. That’s just not possible in a European party system.

what I want is a simplish way to text a restaurant my main basic wants, have them call me back via voice to confirm and make any adjustments, then I go pick it up. or... maybe delivery (I don't live in an area where delivery is huge but maybe that a gotta-have in some places).

I don't like calling because I'm always put on hold - call me back within 2-3 minutes, when you're actually calling me, vs me interrupting you. confirm the basics of what I texted you, but if you have a special going, or i ordered a 'wrong' size, etc. fix it. confirm price. send back via text.

you can 'own' the relationship then, without a middleman. you can confirm via voice, do your upsells, warn me of any delays, etc.

A few days ago I looked up the numbers for the 1918 flu - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu

- world population: 1800 million

- infected: 500 million

- dead: 50 million

I did not know it had been that bad.
Could be many reasons:
1. Iran has more young people.
2. Iran does not have any monitoring program of significance
3. Young people in Iran are probably more mobile and more likely to contract it.
I disagree. you're not a terrible person for thinking that. There's only so much you can do, and the disease and the deaths it leaves in its wake is totally out of the reach of your intention or actions.

Worrying about something like that does not award you good person points. Actually, contributing to the general panic is far worse in terms of your real impact on what's going on. So, in this sense, you may be an actually worse person to think like you're proposing.
In general, food delivery doesn't work well well in rural areas. Where I live is more ex-urban than rural and I'm just 40 miles from a major city and almost next door to a couple minor cities. But I have very few delivery options.

I apparently have a few more these days through a couple of the online delivery apps although I haven't used them yet.

> The first map shown is a gloriously efficient honey farming operation: you have to plant a flower within the beehive’s radius, and you have to be able to walk up to the beehive, so this layout meets those rules, while doing so in a way that’s pleasing to the eye.

It looks to me like there are a number of beehives that can't be accessed. Also some of them may be a bit far from the flowers.

I have heard multiple times that one of the problems with American healthcare is that we are over treated. Part of the reason our healthcare costs are so much higher is because we tend to get large amounts of doctor visits, presciptions, and procedures compared to other nations. I wonder how this squares with the notion I keep seeing about how Americans will avoid the doctor as much as possible?

Exposure to a virus doesn't ensure infection - there is some probability involved, depending at least partially on the number of virus particles that you are exposed to, over what period of time.

Viral load is literally a numerical expression of the quantity of virus in a given volume. It is often expressed as viral particles, or infectious particles per mL depending on the type of assay. And a higher viral load often correlates with the severity of an active viral infection.

That's really clever, given that many of these delivery apps work by inserting themselves invisibly in front of the business.

Having a communication channel that you know will reach the customer and that you know the delivery app can't block is a way of getting around some of the constant fight of "how do I make my real site show up above Grubhub's when my name is Googled?"

That's not quite right. The case you cite does support your position. But, the bar for jail time is a higher hurdle for the gov't to surmount than that. You merely have a good faith belief you did not violate the law. Therefore, if you are handling a gray area and you know the IRS could take a different position, you can still rest easy about jail time so long as you don't intentionally deceive/lie/etc. This is not legal advice

I had a terrible week-long flu a few weeks ago, and used Uber Eats several times. It was my first using a food delivery service, but I do use Uber for rides every few months or so. It was much better than trying to forage in my pantry. Cold McD’s is gross, but so is hot McD’s, so I ordered from our local Thai restaurant quite a bit. Phad See Ew reheats just fine.
Your formula has the opposite problem, by looking at cases that have a known outcome you are biasing results towards cases that end quickly (in particular cases that end in death).

For a proper estimate we should look at cases where the infection is known to have begun e.g. a month ago. Then the mortality rate should be somewhere between dead/infected and dead/(dead + recovered).
In some ways LLVM becomes an extension of MLIR. MLIR has dialects where LLVM ops can be one of those dialects. Other sets of operations can be dialects too (like SPIR-V). This allows many more layers to exist in the ecosystem but they can't just be mixed and matched. The compilation flow still needs to be thought out carefully.
It's interesting that single page apps actullay have a benefit here. If you generate DOM with code, you can just assign anything you like to el.textContent and you'll not need to muck around with sanitization libraries and edge cases.

>The Flu has a mortality rate of 2 per 100k
Nope, it doesn't.
Mortality rate is not the same as annual deaths per capita.
The number you quoted refers to the same context as traffic-related deaths per 100,000 population, which is 3.1 per 100,000 in the UK.
This doesn't mean that if you are in traffic-related incident, you only have a 0.0031% of dying! Same with influenza - the mortality rate is 0.1%-0.15% (average season) up to 1.25%-5% (pandemic flu) [1]

yeah, I couldn't find a source for this either. There are a few cases apparently, and there's still a lot about the virus that is unknown, but it doesn't look to be that high.. it could also be false-negatives that might explain this.., but it could theoretically also be that the virus is "bi-phasic", "meaning the disease appears to go away before recurring."

This is the real source of visa induced wage depression: not job competition in a world with more or less infinite software demand, but the indentured servitude system enforced by the government. If H1Bs had more power against abuse you would probably see wages rise for both them and citizens. The "get them out" attitude is counterproductive for citizens because by making visa workers more desperate all you are doing is pushing their wages down.
Having a good sensible default is one thing, bundling everything together is another. If I prefer jest over the test suite provided by Rome, I would have to install two test suites in the same project. Why not split them into different packages and let user pick what they want?

I am so tired of having to use flawed tools to achieve a certain goal. Why can't there be a non flawed tool? Often it doesn't exist and then people start cursing. This HN submission is not like that. Proper tools like SVG exist and they make this work like this painless. This is an example of someone going out of his way to feel pain. I don't like pain and I don't want to encourage others to inflict "self harm" upon themselves just because it's cool.
I am not a native speaker, but it seems a "要請" from the government is basically something like a government order, even though it seems "polite". For example, I see usages of "政府からのデータ要請", "request from the government to hand over data", which is well, as we know, people have to comply with. So I am guessing this wording is interpreted as an order, even though it means "request".

IANAL, much less in Japan, so take it with a pinch of salt.

EDIT: Seeing the other replies, I guess it can be interpreted both ways: people "listening to the advice of the government", or "government asking people listen to them". Again, IANAL.

I do have one question and I'm asking this seriously, not to start an argument or to attack someone. I also saw this here in a lot of the posts about covid-19. We have numbers, but every time people tend to ignore them or say we should not trust the numbers, take them with a grain of salt, "I think this is way worse, it's going to get way worse" and so on. It's like there is this thirst for disaster or some global drama everywhere, and this is not something that I would expect from Hackernews. If the numbers don't align with our hopes or fears, we should take them with a grain of salt and trust the gut feeling of whoever comments. It's quite weird to see that when it comes to this, people seem to think that it's some sort of conspiracy, China is hiding numbers, now EU is not doing things properly, as I see it everywhere "my country can't have 0 cases, I know that our airport is a big hub and it can't be, we will be doomed as we probably have hundred of cases instead of none and our government is not doing anything".

I'm not saying that this virus is not a threat and I worry for my parents as this could be a big issue for their condition, but we've gone down the rabbit hole with the hysteria in the press and online and it's scary to see this need for a global pandemic and the urge to constantly feed the panic monster.
Oh! And for your ancient-networking subject, I submit:

* grow trees in rows; cut them in ascii sequences (a stump is a 0). Visible for miles!
* scratch dated messages in turtles' shells; sample shells continuously and collate
* spread gossip where the subject is a code e.g. marital infidelity means one thing, sexual preference another. Collect gossip and reconstruct. Use political topics for ack and nack.
* Grow crops each year to encode the message: corn is a 1, soybeans a 0. Study crop market reports. Caution: baud rate is low and noise level high, recommend using ECC
* Become a fashion icon. Adjust skirt lengths microscopically and seasonally to encode multiple bits! A plus: observation and measurement has side benefits

Let me know if any of these suit your purposes. I release them to the public domain.

I should read my Etsy email more often. Now I need to move my little sideline to a different market. Etsy is getting all greedy. Time to make my own website and cut out a middle-bot.

Since most of my sales are from my own word-of-mouth - a google ad is a worthless investment. All that will happen is someone who has a gmail account will purchase from me, google will notice this, present an ad then I'll get charged for the ad on next purchase. Nice little earner for Google and Etsy but useless to me.

Opt out? Sure, but I'm sure there's a stinger somewhere in the terms that will cost me in some obscure way. No thanks. Its actually worth me spending 40 hours figuring out an alternative. Then be done with them completely. More likely I'll replace Etsy with a simple investment of 5 - 8 hours.

For those curious, I sometimes make wooden furniture as a hobby. These are one-offs. Sometimes on commission/custom order but otherwise I usually sell one piece a week. So no, I don't use google ads etc. I'm not a mass-produce kind of operation and my customers know it. Its part of the appeal.

Ask HN: Best way to make a React web into a native mobile app?
I have a React web app, a fairly simple CRUD on a serverless architecture. The UI in it is not that simple, but it's all well componentized and totally mobile first. The web app itself kind of already works like a native app, it doesn't even have routes.

My question is, what the easiest and/or best way to port it to native mobile apps?

My options so far seem to be:

- Rebuild everything in react-native-web

- Start a new React Native project, sharing the most code that I can (state management mostly, not UI)

- Port it to Ionic-React

- any other?

Thanks!
You can start such a company, but there's an overhead in getting on the minds of users and restaurant owners.

Users don't want to have to keep multiple apps on their phone, or remember that the local Olive Garden uses OnlineFood but that the Greek place uses FoodNGo. We can have them order through the restaurant's web site and let them make the decision, but they're going to get frustrated if the drivers are fragmented across the different services. If every driver has every app, then it's really just adding overhead.

All people and restaurants want is somebody to get the food from point A to point B, without a lot of differentiation. Much like ride share services replacing taxis: people don't really care what they get, and multiple taxi services don't provide useful differentiators. I really think that taxis might have survived better if they had come together to develop an app instead of letting somebody else take that space.

As for prices... people are willing to pay to save time. If they really wanted to save money, they'd cook. People go to restaurants so they don't have to cook, but they still pay the time to go and sit and wait. Faced with a choice of $20 Olive Garden + $20 delivery fee, and wait at home playing video games, or $40 at the steakhouse sitting at a table waiting for their food, it might be a tossup. Lots of people do that today. If all they wanted was calories, they'd spent $5 at McDs.
my point is, they were never "cute", except maybe when it was just an idea in someone's garage and had near 0 brand recognition.
