I don’t see Apple going the route of bundling Chromium. Catalyst does allow porting iOS apps to macOS but it’s been not great so far.

I think there will always be a category of people who prefer using native apps for performance, security, or access to OS features. Anecdotally I looked at the apps I have installed and I found out that I don’t have many electron apps on my Mac beside chat apps and VS Code. I suspect non tech-savvy people might have even less, since they do a lot more inside their browsers compared to before.

I’m not sure what you refer to when you say “native desktop apps aren’t coming back”, given that they never left t begin with.
I'm definitely going to be buying more. Steam's buy-try-refund cycle has only served to grow my library.

Nope. Once you see same (sub)set of classes repeated, you would instead define .alert and .alert-danger using Tailwind's @apply directive, and you now have a single place to change how your `alert alert-danger` looks :)
I don't understand your statement. WHO didn't hid any information from China, neither other countries did. What kind of info could they have given to China when they didn't even know there was an outbreak (much less when China didn't even want to acknowledge it) ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_ou...

Having more info once contaminated people got reported doesn't change the fact that weeks went by with potential carriers spreading everywhere unchecked.
EOS mainnet launched in 2018 and it certainly has wallets. As far as I can tell it does what they said it would do.
“When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

Seems like Sam Altman’s hammer is startup investing, so he tries to solve everythin... even the most challenging/ambitious problems through those means.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad approach, but that seems to be his bias.

It’s worth having a more nuanced discussion. The current piece sounds more like cheerleading than advice.
What's a popular feature set that only AWS can do and cannot easily roll your own solution?
That's not an analysis or an answer to my question, but in response to your statement, EOS does do things differently than most POW chains as it is DPOS, does that make it better? Who can say.

I'm not looking for dogmatic crypto-tribalistic nonsense, simply an answer to why the GP felt necessary to lump EOS into his ad hominem attack. Too often these discussions resemble drunk bar patrons arguing over which cities sports team is better, I hoped HN would be better than that.
Valuations != realized losses.

Not to mention eradication efforts are expensive and can have their own unintended consequences. Offer a bounty, and now you have people breeding bats for the bounties. Introduce a bat-specific disease and it may mutate into something else. A bat-specific poison could turn out to poison things we care about.

It's the same with the WSJ. Just last week I wanted to cancel the paper delivery and get online access only. Even to do only that required a phone call; not even a chat option was available.
It is, or was, much more relevant about a decade ago when Facebook was still the de facto online gathering place for young people. In college, for me, the People You May Know feed was uncanny in how it suggested people that I had met in class or at a party.
I think the term "techlash" in the blog is an attempt to shape opinion on the source of the problem.

Really, the issue is "corplash", or backlash against large corporations abusing privacy... and even then, it's really not the corporations' fault, it's the fault of the US government for not making what they're doing illegal.

Its not just CouchDB, I did a lot of searching a little while back and I generally just don't like how tightly they've wrapped up almost all of the results. If you go by searching alone its overwhelmingly MongoDB positive to such an extent that its hard to believe its organic.

I remember reading Fravia's essay about evaluating sources [0] (e.g. books) about 20 years ago and it was pretty good advice for me as a teenager. In my experience, being very picky about the choice of books pays off. There is no need to read 50 bad books per year if there are two excellent books you can spend a year with.

The only reason these drugs exist is because companies like Gilesd developed them in the first place. You can’t pay $40 for a drug that doesn’t exist.

What we should be pushing for is a change in circumstances that get those in other countries to pay their fair share so Americans don’t bear the entire burden of incentivizing bringing drugs to market.

Preserving incentives matters.

I don’t think it’s right to reject something outright. You should always give people the opportunity to show what they have. Then take a look at it and decide whether it’s good. A strong indicator for a scam is that they won’t show anything when asked for details. Then things should get rejected.

Couldn't you replace this headline with, "Wall Street's profane, greedy traders are shaking up the stock market" and have it be as valid, if not more, than talking about people on reddit?
Freedom isn't free. I think people have just ought to realize that. People have this idea that free countries are more efficient, which is probably true in the long run, but it's a cop-out to just call it a day there.

Once I was in Belarus. It's a heavily authoritarian country, make no mistake. When they had protests against their rigged elections, they traced the phones of everyone who went, then brought them in for questioning and asked them what they were doing there. The president later said: "We have rigged the latest election. 93.5 per cent have voted for Lukashenko. But they say it is not a European outcome. We have made it 86 per cent."

But it does work. I was at a restaurant there. Some girls are chatting, and they walk away to go get something, and just leave their bags there unattended. Why? Because it's an authoritarian country - people aren't going to steal stuff there.

This was in the capital of one of the poorest countries in Europe, but it was still one of the safest places I've ever been.

EDIT: I don't mean to praise authoritarian countries, on the contrary. We should support human rights even if it is less efficient, because the object of governance is not to strip people of their freedoms for pennies on the dollar.
Transcript for the Feb 25 CDC Telebriefing Update on Covid-19
Long-term-committed founders are indeed a big advantage to a business.

If you're committed to investing 20 years of your time into a startup, then you're self-funding a multi-$million Series A, just in terms of market value of your time.

Investors who spot a commited founder and buy in at pre-seed valuation are getting a deal.
As I said above

> In some cases the criticality is relevant to the business decisions, in others it may not be. It probably usually will be. The app shouldn't crash, because even if it only happens to 1% of people, they're the ones writing reviews on the app store.

> So the criticality is a big red "Hey! This should probably be high-priority!"-flag, but it's not the only piece of information the PM is going to use.

The point is that PM may be inundated with lots of bugs and new features and other stories that all need prioritization before the next release. If they had a perfect understanding of all of them, they wouldn't need any metadata at all (not even "bug" vs "feature" -- just read the long-form description!), but metadata helps people make decisions.

High-severity bugs should generally be prioritized higher, except in cases where PMs have gained a deep understanding of the situation and realize it's not business-critical, and override that.

At the point that they set the priority, the criticality is no longer important, just as the "bug" vs "feature" tag is no longer that important once it's been prioritized and assigned.
Currently building (not finished yet, hence no GitHub link, but it's coming) a personal wiki along the lines of TiddlyWiki, but written in Python rather than JS.
Yeah. It's like internet users in the 80s. This product might be a bit early for the maturity of the market, but they can definitely get users. The product premise is good, but no one has executed well. I might end up having to build it. But hopefully not. The demand is growing so someone will make a good product for this high value problem soon enough.

As someone from ex comunist/socialist state, I am completely fine with LE not having too much power.
I think them being able to break all encryption in use is way too much power. Its not if, it's when it will be abused, and how many people die for it.
And LE's can do a lot more damage than all terrorist combined.
After reading Wikipedia about it ... not quite correct.

"It was German journalists who revealed the names in the leaks, not Wikileaks/Assange."

British, not german:

"In August 2010, Assange gave Guardian journalist David Leigh an encryption key and a URL where he could locate the full Cablegate file."

And he also did only revealed the password.

"Leigh disclaimed responsibility for the release, saying Assange had assured him the password would expire hours after it was disclosed to him"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_diplomatic_cable...

And after that password was revealed, Assange said, now state actors could decrypt it, it is better to just publish it, so everyone can read it.

He sold stolen goods for about 28% of their retail value. Is Microsoft is able to cancel the cards if they haven't been spent?
Their attempts will make no difference. I will use encryption and they can't do Jack shit about it
Warrants might not be able to break encryption, but refusing to provide the passcode can land you in jail indefinitely for contempt. You could serve decades potentially.

The fear from law enforcement is absurd. They've never had the ability to read every single letter that was sent, but now that we've moved online they want to read every email? They claim they are losing access but the truth was they never had access in the first place. The only difference is before maybe they could secretly read your letters before delivering them but now they need to get your password. That only worked at a small scale though, and I'm sure the NSA can crack passwords at those same small scales (e.g. some of the high-profile iphone cracking we've seen).

> The discussion is about testing now, today. It's not about testing in 10 years time.

Indeed, and the results of tests done today may be relevant in ten years, even if we don't have the ability to draw useful information from them right now. If nothing else it may at least provide a baseline for comparison.

> Assuming for a moment that people can avoid overreacting you're still ignoring the stress caused by getting a partial dx.

Stressing out over an inconclusive test result would be overreaction. It's not as if stress is automatically a bad thing anyway, in moderation, or as if not knowing (or worse, being prevented from investigating) doesn't cause stress of its own.

> And if you're not going to do anything with the information it's pointless doing it...

I agree, so it's a good thing I never suggested that the results should be completely ignored. Just don't overreact.

> ...hospitals are low risk, not no risk, environments...

There is no such thing as a no-risk environment; moreover, imaging doesn't need to be performed at a hospital. A clinic is sufficient. Not doing the tests conveys its own share of risk; many conditions are much easier to treat when detected early, but you won't detect them early if you don't start looking until after symptoms manifest.

> ...FUD that imaging is harmless...

You have yet to provide any evidence that imaging is harmful, which hasn't stopped you from attempting to spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt on the subject. The only FUD here is your own.

Congrats to the team. These people are some of the nicest and most supportive devs I know of in the OSS community (or whatev').

They show a great deal of patience in their slack channel and are always welcoming and answering stupid questions from idiots like me.
The phrase “zero sum game”, taken as referring to the game theory thing, “zero sum games”, isn’t about wealth, but about utility (though sometimes utility could be modeled as just being wealth).

To say that something isn’t zero sum in this sense is a rather weak statement. If any combination of actions by people result in at least one person being worse off and no one else being better off, or in at least one person being better off and no one else being worse off, than some other combination of choices, that is sufficient to conclude that it isn’t zero sum. (This isn’t a necessary condition, only a sufficient one. But a Pareto difference (terminology?) implies a difference in the sum of utilities (assuming that there is a sensible way to add the utilities) without assuming a particular way to add utilities between persons, so I think it is easier to justify conceptually.)

That many things involving multiple people are not zero sum, in this sense, is obvious. (Punching a stranger in the face for no reason decreases the utility of the stranger without increasing one’s own. Well, for most people anyway?) It doesn’t imply that there are no limits to how good outcomes can be.

That a given thing is not zero sum is often something that would be sufficiently trivial as to not be worth saying, except that people talk about the thing as if it is zero sum.

If things were constrained to be on the Pareto frontier, then, while possibly still not zero sum, there would I think be less reason to point out that things aren’t zero sum even if they weren’t.

Pointing out that things aren’t zero sum is often, I think, effectively a call to take into account whether options would move closer to or further from the Pareto frontier, and not just pretend that things are always on the Pareto frontier and try to move along the Pareto frontier.

Now, if, within a certain context, the maximum distance it is possible to be from the Pareto frontier is negligible, then in those cases exclaiming “care more about the distance to the Pareto frontier!” wouldn’t seem to make much sense,
and perhaps even sometimes justice requires putting more emphasis on where on the frontier we are closest to than how close we are to it, even if it means non-negligible difference in closeness to the frontier.

But, generally speaking, Pareto improvements are good and important, and forbidding people from taking actions that result in global Pareto improvements (I don’t just mean “if you only consider these people, then among these people it is a Pareto improvement”, but rather things that are Pareto improvements when considering everyone’s interests) is usually bad.
The reasoning seems to be like this:

Native -> user mode -> system calls -> slow

WASM -> kernel mode -> no-system calls -> fast

I guess, they can check what a WASM program is doing before they run it, so it doesn't have to be isolated outside of kernel mode.
How does one define a bad guy?

First graders are rare, but from a relative who works in an urban public school by third grade it’s not weird at all. She has students in that grade who outweigh her and can do a lot of damage to their classmates and teachers.

When I was in 4th grade a student pushed another through a glass door, cutting her leg open. Kids tripped others down stairs.

America is violent, it starts young, and it’s perfectly normal in a lot of places.
Well, 5th amendment protections, and inability to determine whether a person even remembers the key, means that serving a warrant doesn't always work either.

Clinical trials for Remdesivir are ongoing.

There are some problems with the Chinese trials, which were the first to start twenty days ago:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04252664

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04257656

Trials were run in Wuhan by popular demand but the epicenter with a very over-burdened medical system was probably not the best choice as trial site. Recruitment of mild/moderate cases were particularly problematic because these were not treated in hospitals in Wuhan at that time (you had to have a serious enough case to have a real hospital bed). It is also hard to find patients who have not tried other medication per the recruitment criteria.

The US organized trial https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04280705 just started but is designed to be a lot more flexible and will show results a lot sooner if Remdesivir is actually as effective as we all hope it to be.
> If we film people committing crimes we should be able to figure out who they are?

At the cost of permanent surveillance of everyone? Fact is: If the data exists, it’s being used. And the usage will only expand to lesser and lesser causes. Not to speak of illicit uses. Like law enforcement personell spying on spouses, ex-partners or generally people they dislike or have an interest in.

Radical! Some counter-points, though.

- Infrastructure as code and schemas as code make it easier to keep environmental parity, because everything can be rolled back/forwards/reset with easy source control and CD operations. Visual environment diffing and drift detection can make this even easier.

- Make your stage and prod into a blue-green situation, where if stage is ready to go, you flip users onto it. I can guarantee your stage and prod will both be respected as prod then. Failing that, just add load/stress tests to stage to make it more prod-like.

- Non-prod environments and attention are not necessarily debt, but they are expensive insurance premiums. You should only pay those premiums if you need the insurance. It's about risk management.

- As time passes, the people who wrote a specific part of a system don't know it anymore, so having them babysit 'their' code in production has diminishing returns. On the other hand, having a systems quality team who have a broad mandate to bugfix, put in preventative measure, reduce technical debt, improve observibility and establish good patterns for developers to do these things, can enabled these things to actually happen, when just telling devs who are busy making features that they should happen often doesn't make them happen. Also there are devs who enjoy creating new things, and others who love trouble-shooting and metrics.
