As a fellow South Korean, I should point out that the case of SK is very unique and probably can't be reproduced.

1. SK used to be under a dictatorship (until 1987 democratization) and as a result its administrative power is still far-reaching.

When the Shincheonji (SCJ hereafter) church in Daegu was revealed to be a very problematic cohort, essentially every SCJ follower in Daegu was contacted for check-up, to the point that some hiding SCJ follower was tracked via police power (!). Not that SCJ's behavior is acceptable, but SK government has too much information to track individuals when deemed necessary. It is really a lucky coincidence that the current government doesn't try to do too much bad thing with that power.

2. Unlike other countries, many, if not most, infections in SK can be readily tracked to a single cohort (SCJ followers) and that makes the containment look still viable.

Okay, I actually disagree as the prevalent (and secretive) nature of the SCJ makes the containment impossible at this stage. I believe the SK government knows that too but continues the containment as a last resort (that is, better than not trying at all). Combined with strong administrative power and pretty stable diagnostic capacity, this "last" resort can be extended much further. It is not necessarily a bad thing though because a big pile of data resulting from lots of tests will be useful later anyway.

3. There is no other incentive for countries to test every (pseudo)patient.

It is now clear that only some---mostly already vulnerable---COVID-19 patients develop severe symptoms and most can be recovered without too much hassle. Sending every patient to the hospital is a significant burden to the domestic medical system and eventually only severe patients would have to be sent. Having this information, countries can skip the investigative phase (in this case, thankfully done by China and SK) and simply execute the eventual strategy.

The eventual strategy also has a side effect of the smaller number of reported patients. It would be a conspiracy theory that this is a motivating factor for most other countries, but it is compelling as a side effect of what they have to eventually do anyway. WHO had to accept Japan's absurd claim that the "international conveyance" is not a part of Japan because they needed Japan to at least report proper numbers. I don't think Japan is in the unique position in this regard. Even SK would be doing the same unless SK is between two highly impacted countries...
I think you're conflating the GKE Ingress Controller (which you don't have to use, and yes, confusingly it's named the GCLB controller, but that's because it configures L7 GCP LB's, not because it's there for k8s LBs) with the GKE load balancer controller/provider for LoadBalancer services (which you do have to use, even if you run nginx-ingress-controller).

And yes, I agree that both are extremely slow to reconfigure and the that Ingress controller is inflexible.

I'm not saying that you need to always use a LoadBalancer for all payloads. But you do need one to ingress traffic in a sensible manner if you're running your own N-I-C (which you have to do on bare metal, and which, as you said, you end up using even on GKE).
>The world is a better world when reasonable opinions are well-considered on all sides.

Absolutely, that's categorically not what PragerU does. But if it did, that would be relevant.

> They are reasonable opinions voiced in a calm manner.

Actually no, quite a lot of them are entirely unreasonable opinions voiced in a calm manner. Go and search for PragerU's presentation of evolution for example - their criticism amounts to "Scientists are unsure whether the speed of light is 3x108 or 3.015x108 so clearly there's no speed of light". And "Well maybe micro-evolution but 'many' scientists doubt macro evolution".

It's not reasonable, it's deliberate mis-representation of the scientific material to serve a religious agenda.
This did come out right around when Knives Out 2 was formally announced. Maybe Rian Johnson is playing a meta-long con.

There was a lot of attentiveness to phones as class signifiers throughout the movie though. The maid's phone has a broken screen, for instance, and she uses an Android. Meanwhile all the rich people have the newest model iPhones in immaculate condition without cases.
Not being illegal wouldn't protect you from a crushing lawsuit though. Especially since the details likely vary (linked in data was publicly accessible, not sure if Goodreads requires a login).
Just to make sure I understand you (explicit always better than implicit =]), an example of what? An example PWA?
You can't entirely avoid referring to JavaScript semantics here, type="number" is for values appropriate to represent and work with as IEEE 754 doubles.

That covers a lot of ground, by design. But a 'number' it isn't.

Wow that's interesting! I chose Postgraphile exactly for this reason: because it lets me customize the schema to a degree that looks just as if I had written it by hand. I found the schema created by Hasura incredibly verbose.

Scaleway C14 Cold Storage
I thought about the same thing, especially since people already started questioning performance here.
Yes, we do allow users to access their raw DNA. We will make VCF, BAM, and FASTQ files available if requested. We map the entire exome at 100x coverage which covers all genes.
Imperfect created a market for a good that already had a market and generally purchase from post-producer sellers. They aren't large enough to make a dent in the producers' waste.

Theoretically it (or something like it) could create a viable market for the food whose cost goes below market price or is not pretty, but it would have to do it at the wholesale level. Not cases of produce but dozens of truckloads a week.

In their particular case they are trying to make produce a D2C product so they have two challenges: a) build a market for a good and b) make D2C perishable profitable. For reference on b, see Blue Apron.
Attackers had effective control over the DigiNotar CA before it was distrusted and eventually went bankrupt in, I think, 2011. They may not have been able to extract the keys from the HSM (this would probably require physical access) but they had the ability to cause issuance without accurate records kept so there's not a lot of practical difference.

Incidents at WoSign/ StartCom presumably involved malfeasance by key staff. I guess that doesn't count as a breach unless you'd call it a "Bank raid" if the manager just empties the vault into his own car and flees.

At Symantec they knew third parties had the independent ability to issue with any of their CAs but that was specifically contracted third parties (in particular a Korean firm named CrossCert) not just random people, it's just that issuance records weren't properly kept and oversight was inadequate. Again the ability to cause issuance isn't technically a breach, the keys stayed inside the HSM but it was possible to cause unrecorded issuance so there's not much moral difference.
There's more to this project than compilers.

As an example, I've written custom TSLint plugins before. I'm not writing those in Rust.

There's a lot of wisdom in sticking to your lingua franca until you prove you can't.
I mean, this could've been solved by the spec using type="quantity".

Many languages have generic, ambiguous umbrella terms, it's the sloppiness of the spec picking one.
As flying is frequently better for the environment than driving

You can't drive across the Atlantic or Pacific, this a rather silly argument.
Sorry, non-aggression principle. Basically, no using force against someone else until he does it first. You're right that we do have to have some government to uphold basic duties. However, those duties are pure public goods and should be billed as such. Sum the total expenditures each year, divide by the number of adult citizens, and directly bill each citizen that amount.

The news was an explosion, there is no evidence any strain had escaped because of it. That's you filling in details with no proof, ie. conspiracy.
PWAs can be turned into native apps as well, that is the part you missed while trying to understand them.

PWAs have two ways of deploying, either via the standard Web, where they get to use only Web APIs and via the manifest and service workers, get promoted to have some OS light integration with removal of the browser frame.

However, you missed the second way of deploying them, if you package the application URL alongside a signed package on app stores (Android/Windows/ChromeOS), then the PWA gets upgraded and has access to the native APIs just like any other native app.

Here is how it is done for UWP with the old Edge, the new one will eventually catch up.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-...

Similar approach on Android,

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/using-twa

If you want C++, then PWAs can also enjoy WebAssembly + WebGL (and eventually WebGPU).

https://www.qt.io/qt-examples-for-webassembly

Or just package them into the store format from above and call the native versions of GL/DirectX directly.
There are many, but I personally follow this one:

I think its entirely fair to say that Knuth was in a frame to demonstrate one thing, and implement something second. That he was ideating about the subject didn't - necessarily - prevent a successful implementation.

Certainly, as another set of eyes, the lower character count matters most, though.
Get back to me when there's something to actually see.

Call my cynical but having made a few progressive webapps myself I'm very dubious that a "single line of code" is going to result in a great, performant PWA. How is the service worker installed? Or the manifest.json? How do you decide the user behavior that triggers a page precache? How does that precache deal with things like user logins when it has no visibility into your system? Where do the app icons come from? And so on. pep.dev's own service worker is just a Workbox cache and little more.

I'll openly admit I'm a cynic. Prove me wrong!
Pretty awesome idea. I could see trying this out on some older projects that would be a pain to upgrade to a PWA.
The scale isn't really the major issue here, I think.

Assume each site makes one certificate issue request per month: 146 * 10^6 / (30 * 24* 3600) ~= 56 reqs/sec. Maybe double or triple the number to account for office hour-related peak hours.

I don't even think sharding would be required to handle that, strictly speaking. A single medium-to-high end machine could probably handle billions of sites this way, assuming everything has been done right (I assume it has).

I do however think a lot work has to go into:

a) developing/documenting client tools

b) developing/maintaining the server codebase

c) developing/documenting/maintaining security protocols

d) devops for the server(s) doing the key signing

e) devops for maintaining security, according to the protocols developed

and so on...

There are many. The Raspberries are great value for the money as video players, also because of the really good CEC implementation, but for everything else, and I really mean everything else, there are much better powerful or cheap, sometimes both, alternatives.

Oracle demands name and address to opt-out of ad tracking
The spec could’ve used type=“quantity” and there wouldn’t be as much or any confusion.

Point being, blaming the language used for writing the spec, when you readily offered up a better alternative, feels misguided to me.
I stay focused and get things done by cultivating an environment that enables me to do so. I'd imagine the environment is different to every person. Within the context of working in any organization, there's only so much you can change. Consequently, creating that environment may or may not be possible within certain organizations. For example, speaking personally, but autonomy in my work keeps me motivated, focused, and delivering much more than I would otherwise.

Thanks for the comparison against 23 and me but I’d be interested in how you plan to differ from Invitae/Fulgent/Myraid aside from the D2C aspects.
I'm super interested to see if such a niche tool can attract a big enough audience.

Is Chime only going to be for macOS, or are there plans to also bring it to other platforms like iPad, Windows, etc, too?

Are you saying that if i had the test for corona, and then a bunch of knowhow and some wizbang machines I could start making the virus? I was always terrible at biology.
You're probably correct and I understand your frustration. I was just coming from a more personal perspective. If I contract the corona virus, it'd be probably no different than contracting the flu, because I'm young, healthy, and I have easy access to healthcare (since I'm working). A lot of people with the virus reportedly do not even have any symptoms.

Regarding global warming, again, you're right that this virus is an example of zoonosis. I was more talking about the potential for additional novel viruses spreading around the globe.
Agreed, it's certainly significant given the context.
> The idea that we are in possession of special knowledge or rare insights is very compelling.

There's also evidence that people with lower levels of schooling particularly like conspiracy because it allows them to make sense of a chaotic world. Instead of feeling powerless and hopeless, they have a truth not even the smart and powerful have.

It is of course not true, but therein lies the appeal.
Hopefully it's a whistleblower. Shaming specific police departments and causing a local political issue is a good way to prevent its adoption.
One of my first jobs in 1997 was as a network admin, setting up an email, web server and firewall for our 100 person office. Used a 486 DX2/66 with 16MB (not GB!) RAM running RedHat, obviously very minimal without X or GUIs. The Internet line was only 128kb/s, so the CPU was underutilized most of the time.
We also have that Iran does not have the health care system to even provide proper equipment for their health staff. This is a case of massive under reporting, but unfortunately that means they are not containing it and do not even know the extent of their problem. That is the teal worry with Iran, not some super deadly variant

The diamond princess saw almost 100% exposure and only 0.5% of people died who got infected. Depending if you choose that stat, or the 2% WHO star, that suggests 15-100x more cases are in Iran than their lousy health system realizes.
It's always worth checking the 'sold' listings to see what prices actually sell. Sometimes they do regularly sell at the inflated price, but often they don't.
I wish you'd use inputmode.

I find it vaguely unsatisfying when I'm asked to input a pure string of digits using a full keyboard on mobile. It feels half-baked, and my estimation of the quality of the software goes down.
When is the conference? I might wait and see if the airlines cancels your flight--which actually seems fairly likely to happen at this point--in which case your fare would be refunded.
Yes, constructing a device (that is ~ 1L in volume) is definitely more carbon friendly than burning 3-4 liters of fuel per person per 100km for a passenger flight.

If you count shipping (some on air) it's less likely (though boxes are more space efficient than humans).

And, an Oculus can be reused hundreds of times.
> You need a load balancing solution for this pool of Ingress controllers, that's right, but as I said before, this setup gives you the flexibility to cook load balancing as you desire.

Sure, but this means that you cannot use LoadBalancers, which is painful. It means every payload has to be configured both at k8s level and then externally. That somewhat defeats the use of k8s as a self-service platform internally in an organization (other dev/ops teams need to go through a centralized ops channel to get traffic ingressing into the cluster if for some reason they can't use an Ingress).

> BTW, community NGINX Ingress controller is able to ingress L3 (TCP) traffic into the cluster.

Yes, but it's configurable via a single ConfigMap (which limits self-service if you're running a multi-tenant orga-wide cluster, unless you bring your own automation), and still you only have one namespace of ports, ie. a single external address for all ports - unless you complicate your 'external' LB system even further.

With all these caveats, I really don't understand why not just run metallb.

Yes. The tests are sufficiently unreliable that if there is no specific reason to believe that a particular person has been exposed, the results are just noise.

See https://towardsdatascience.com/statistics-and-unreliable-tes... for an analysis using Bayesian statistics that demonstrates why you would pre-filter who you give the test to, and why you shouldn't necessarily trust the test results after.

Please remember that public health organizations have over 150 years of experience with how to make the most effective use of existing resources to limit health challenges. This is a complicated optimization problem and the people doing it aren't stupid. It is better to ask why they do what they do than to assume that what they are doing makes no sense.
Almost nothing I work on has a dependency on GitHub. Whether work or personal. We have all dependencies vendored at work and my personal stuff is the same.

There really is no good reason bee so dependent on GitHub.
I bought a box of 3 for $20 yesterday from an eBay seller with a good reputation. There's a chance I've been scammed, but I think lower than on Amazon.
Not especially, no. The core product is the $35 computer, and has been since Raspberry Pi began. That product, the $35 Raspberry Pi, now has 2GB of RAM. Yes, other configurations are available, including the previous core product if there's a reason why you'd want the 1GB version.
> there's a chance you could get stuck in quarantine in Japan, the US or both as countries become more aware of the virus' dormancy.

That's the key point for me. My personal risk calculus has me staying in my own country: while I think it's extremely unlikely that international travel to non-hot spots would lead to infection, I'm not chancing entry / exit / in place quarantines.
Especially if you, jinjin2, are either a bot, or marketing shim??

I just verified every single post of you on hackers news in last 12 months, and every one, in different DB discussions are doing the some shamefull plug about Realm.

E v e r y o n e.

And not a single disclaimer from you, not to mention some of your posts (like here, what janl pointed) are simply not true.

Disgracefull. I'm leaving this comment for anybody in the future doing check on you to notice this.
Nobody's infringed PragerU's right to criticize the government, and a private company uplifting other content above Prager's doesn't imply Prager's has been suppressed.
well before that kicks in, if your code requires any coordination at all (not Monte Carlo) then those overheads can scale with the number of processes. so rather than hitting an asymptote as you'd get with just Ahmdal, you actually start to go down in absolute terms as the number of processes increases.
Not sure why this was downvoted. It's the truth. The two don't (or at least shouldn't) really compete, they (and especially solar) are almost exactly complementary to each other.

Somehow you picked entirely the wrong paragraph from that blog post to summarize it.

The cited paragraph would be true of a movie like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle because the brand name is part of the title of the movie and the brand plays a major part of the story.

But it wouldn't apply to an incidental use of a branded product in a production, i.e., a car chase scene whether the brand of the car or vehicle-specific features are irrelevant.
I think you're disregarding the fact that Rita was almost certainly better than anyone in that company at playing the role of state health inspector specifically and getting into that prison without stink eye from anyone. She brought the interest (she asked for the job) and a deep domain expertise that the company was able to directly leverage into an engagement. This is something the industry is begging for and will trip over themselves to invest in.

It's not clear that you're describing that kind of situation. Taking someone with essentially zero relevant experience and training them up to be someone that can deliver a skilled service to a client is a much different ask. There are companies that are willing to make that bet, I work for one now that is hiring pure developers in a security role, but they have the resources to play the long game. Little infosec consulting firms can't do that.

This comes across as me disagreeing with you. I'm not, I agree security is easy to get into and there is way too much black box bullshit surrounding it. I just have been involved with companies along the full spectrum of services and capabilities and feel that not everyone is in the position to make the bet you're laying out as a sure thing.
The number of cases per people statistic is silly. It might make sense when the virus is common around the world, but when it's just spreading the number of cases itself is more important. For example if you detected 100 people infected with a virus in some region, does it matter if it has 200 million people (Uttar Pradesh) or 10 million (Lombardy)? These political divisions are arbitrary anyway.
Huh. This whole thing appears to be about how the motion of the wok affects the fried rice.

But at the only restaurant I've watched fried rice prepared at (a college cafeteria in Shanghai), it was done on a flat iron surface, teppanyaki-style. And that was considered the good cafeteria.

"The physics of fried rice" seems to overestimate the scope of the study a bit.
