The reason there was an uproar is that there's been a huge surge in vaping by kids. People have been working tirelessly, for decades, to lower the stats on smoking among teens and when they see vaping spread through high schools like wildfire you can see why they'd be pissed off.
The serious complication rate is ~20% or so of confirmed cases, that's pretty high.
I wish you would take GP's comment in good faith.

NB: I have lived in these countries, and I am also part of what you may call a "protected group" in western areas. I have come to terms with it.

Counter examples:

1 - PRC's treatment of Uighar muslims, LGBTQ+, Tibetans

2 - Light-hearted potrayals of lolicon, sexual harassment in the entertainment (specifically anime) industry

3 - "No foreigners / (insert specific race group here)" signs in some Japanese establishment that normalize xenophobia.
I don't think the above commenter wrote that all of precolonial Africa had a single culture, only that precolonial cultures evidently did not have cultures with long standing businesses - at least as we understand businesses them today.
Mortality in the west is way lower because the scale of the disease has not yet reached outbreak proportions. When it reaches outbreak proportions, such as what we saw in Wuhan, hospitals get completely overrun. There are not enough ICU beds or ventilators to support patients. Mortality rate spikes.

You are totally mistaken if you think that this cannot happen in the West. But by all means continue to bury your head in the sand.

By the way, you are in a country where the cultural norm is to greet one another with cheek-kissing. You're really in no place to lecture anybody else on hygiene.
I love your concept. A few pointers from a digital marketing perspective:

1- Upon sign up, the confirmation email says: For questions about this list, please contact: coand@gmail.com - I'd suggest you use the @topstonks.com address - it really looks more professional.

2- The page focuses too much on the features and not the benefit. I think people are less interested in 'data' 'analysis' and seeing a sample and more on what's in it for them. Maybe run a regression analysis and tout the benefits. If most of the stocks tank, then tout how you can fade the public, or if they tend to go up, again, mention that.

3- Why is it beta? What's beta about it? It's OK to mention it's in beta, but then you need to make it clear what's the long term vision or why you say beta. Personally, I'd get rid of that part.

In any case, this is an excellent idea that could easily branch out in a lot of directions. I'm subscribed and will look forward to seeing what you develop this into. :)
48 hours is about the most that I have done.

Even at 24 hours you begin to recognize how much of modern life revolves around eating. Trying taking a stroll through the city while fasting. Within 10 seconds you see people eating icecream, candy bars, cokes, a zillion restaurants, convenience stores, not to mention alcohol.

With fasting I found I had low energy and would be really, really bored. There was a lot of temptation to fill time with just munching on something.

I also found that when I broke my fast, I didn't eat as much as I expected to. No huge pigout meal or anything.

I am not religious, but I think Ramadan is an example of a really healthy religious practice because it reminds people of their relation to food.
Thank you! Appreciate it
It’s trivial to limit number of created documents in postgres, couchdb or application server though validation, I’m talking about updating document not creating new. In posgres if I update 1mb document used space will not always grow. In couch db situation is different. In case of relation db you have application server with custom logic and validations, couchdb from other side is accessible from outsize.

My idea that it’s very hard to create safe couchdb based system and most recommendations limited to setup nginx proxy and authenticate users which is not enough.
Beautiful, beautiful project. Containing the deepest twists of computation in a single file, and not a single #include. I only missed it including a text editor. Love it!
For those of you who think the odds of dying from this outbreak are low: you're probably right. However, rolling the dice with any kind of pneumonia is a bad idea. Viral pneumonia opens you up to potentially acquiring a secondary bacterial pneumonia infection, which have much higher mortality rates. Bacterial pneumonia has a 30% mortality rate.

I had pneumonia in the past, and that experience was the only time I truly believed that I might die. It's a truly incapacitating condition.

> Why? What is the business value of having severity as essentially a protest field logged by people who don't understand business impact?

I don't understand where you could possibly get the "protest field" idea. Severity is an objective statement regarding the known impact of a bug as verified by a developer. It summarizes the technical impact of a software defect. Stating that bug X is high-severity because it crashes is not a protest, and just because the PM decides to give priority to other more pressing issues it doesn't mean you should throw a tantrum.

Hi. Thank you for the feedback! I will take a closer look at it.
Consider this: every day on ProductHunt, we see dozens if not hundred new apps pumped out. How many of those succeed? Not very many. Why?

Each and every one of those apps was designed to solve a problem. So, why is there so little demand? It's because users already have another app/spreadsheet/website/solution/process that does something too similar and because their existing solution is good enough.

The fact that so many apps are being produced and fail to see traction is an indication of massive oversupply of solutions and talent. It's just too easy to produce yet another app, and so everyone does. this inevitably, must lead to an oversupply of solutions.
The World Bank has compiled a database that you can query [1]. Sweden's carbon tax is USD $121, the highest in the world. Next best is Switzerland and Lichtenstein tied at $97, followed by Finland at $68.

Sweden's tax covers 40% of emissions from that country. Finland covers 36%. Switzerland covers 33%.

British Columbia's tax is lower, but it covers 70% of carbon emissions - a very broad-based tax. It will be USD $38 in 2021.

Personally, I think it's better for governments to focus on total coverage rather than the price. The more broad-based the tax is, the more efficient it is in shaping the economic development of the region. You don't want carbon "leaking" into sectors where it's cheap to pollute - that's inefficient. Far better to have all sectors equally incentivized to decarbonize.

So, oh wise one, what should we all be working on?
I don't think OP is asking about preparing for or avoiding actually getting the disease. OP is asking about preparing for potential shortages of goods if quarantines are ultimately deployed in the US (which is what's already happening globally).
Very much agree with most of your comment, but:

> At this point, you are now a world class expert at a technology that is not economically viable. But, you can't transfer that knowledge, or at least most of it.

I strongly suspect that anyone who can become a world class tech expert to the point where they can push at the boundaries of what's possible has transferable skills.

Now, that's a different statement from "can get hired on transferable skills," at least depending on the capacity of hiring insights in the industry at large. But I figure it needs to be said lest we reinforce the problem.
Thanks for pointing it out! Appreciate the effort

Kacper Wierzchos: “It’s a big deal as out of ~ 1 million known asteroids, this is just the second asteroid known to orbit Earth (after 2006 RH120, which was also discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey).”

Amazing. I am surprised that this kind of thing doesn't happen all the time.
The higher mortality rate of SARS and MERS - counterintuitively - helped to contain it, as well as the fact that it was only spread by people showing symptoms.
Depends on the patch... sometimes a hero is so broken that your win rate will swing from 40 to 60 depending on which team gets <insert buffed hero>. It’s still best to focus on your fundamentals, but the game can be way easier or harder depending on what happens in the draft.

One pretty weird fundamental is to get good at coaxing your teammates to make a reasonable team comp without causing anybody stress
I applied twice with a year between the two attempts:

First time I was rejected after the first interview because they found somebody better suited for the role(my lack of Ruby experience was likely a factor) - that at least was the response I got.

Second time I was rejected outright - the reason given was that for people with more than five years of experience, they expected candidates to spend more than two years in a single company.

If you take advantage of PostCSS or Tailwind's CLI, you can compose something like:

Well, at least on this case government research did produce the best outcome. By far. So far no comparison even makes sense, and people don't even remember there were other attempts.

Hi. PM on Windows Command-Line here:

A couple of things:

1. You're confusing Cmd (the command-line shell) with Console (the terminal UX you see and interact with on-screen)
2. Development for NT started in Oct 1989 and the first version of NT shipped in 1993

>The reason there was an uproar is that there's been a huge surge in vaping by kids... vaping spread through high schools like wildfire.

The article directly contradicts this statement and says it's a myth (number 5).

>Our latest report found no evidence so far to support the concern that e-cigarettes are a route into smoking among young people. UK surveys show that young people are experimenting with e-cigarettes, but regular use is rare and confined almost entirely to those who already smoke. Meanwhile, smoking rates among young people in the UK continue to decline.
That is objectively wrong though, isn't it?

The government absolutely can, and does, pass laws to legally take anyone's stuff for any reason it likes.

If that is your bottom line, then almost every government in almost every country I know of overran it almost immediately.

What we are discussing right now is....given that they ca, and do....under what circumstances we want them to do it.

Think of it as a reality based discussion.
It's a bunch of mumbo jumbo from someone that takes the academic side of finance too seriously (LTCM anyone?).

In plain English: Options are basically a contract, with a time limit, that states the holder can buy a certain amount of stock at a certain price. "Options dealers" are the people who wrote the contract and sold it to another party. They are on the "hook" for fulfilling the terms, if the buying party wishes to "exercise" an option and buy their promised stock at the promised price.

Options dealers are automatically "short" all of the contracts they sell, because that's literally the definition of "shorting" -- selling something you don't own. Options dealers technically do not own the stock they're promising to sell to the buyer, but will have to once the buyer "exercises" the options contract.

Delta is basically the difference in velocity of the price of the options contract vs. the price of the stock it's representing. So, if the option is selling for $10, and has a delta of 1 (100%), then a $5 increase in the stock price will increase the option contracts price by $5 to $15. If the delta is 0 (0%), the price of the contract will not change.

Actually, I was wrong. The GP was correct to use the vocabulary he did -- because what I wrote isn't even the full explanation I was planning. However, three paragraphs in, I realized it would take much more to completely explain it.

Basically, options dealers hedge by buying the stock they issue options contracts for, and this can cause the price to move up.

> You were the one who posted the link! If the landing page isn't designed for HN audiences then maybe that's not the link you should have posted on HN?

The logical extreme of this statement is that @mholt shouldn't post a link to any website unless that link is specifically tailored to the average reader of the site he's posting to. That, or Hacker News is special among all websites @mholt could post to.

I don't think that's fair. I also don't see the defensiveness you see - instead, I see @mholt explaining his website's strategy for the benefit of your understanding (as well as that of any future readers). The alternative to which would be not responding to your feedback at all, as he already has sound reasoning not to incorporate your specific suggestion (which we know because he explained it).

It's important to read into the best possible interpretation of a comment and respond to that, assuming good faith, especially on communities like this one. Otherwise we begin to assume everyone is attacking or defending.
H1N1 infected at least 100mm people in 2009 and antibody studies says it maybe much higher. H1N1 wasn’t that deadly compared to spanish flu, or bird flu.
> The Wi-Fi radio runs on extremely low power by transmitting data via a technique called backscattering. It takes incoming Wi-Fi signals from a nearby device (like a smartphone) or Wi-Fi access point, modifies the signals and encodes its own data onto them, and then reflects the new signals onto a different Wi-Fi channel to another device or access point.

Seems like this chip is purpose built for surreptitious surveillance.
My wife was in a pretty typical Walgreens today and noted that there was a sign in front saying that they didn't have any masks left and that they didn't know when they were going to get more. Inside, there were a number of sections besides masks that were completely empty.

This Walgreens is in Mountain View, a few miles from the main Google campus in California.
When Ebola was kicking off a few years ago I had a realization: If you wait to prepare until everyone agrees preparation makes sense then it's too late. That said the prepper mindset is a slippery slope... so I think the answer is to prepare some but don't get too into it.
That's because we still have plenty of reserve ICU capacity. As soon as that is maxed out the picture changes, rapidly. So better hope we never reach that stage.
RGB isn't even a good system to lighten or darken colors. CSS supports HSL which is certainly more intuitive. Then again, it's easier to use a good pre-processor with color functions to darken($color, 10%) and so on (quickly, can you tell me what is 10% lighter than 2222FF off the top of your head?).
Still, in the end it makes most sense to use tones from a good color palette then to mess around with hex values.
I've been wanting this for literally decades. I make mouth-click beats all the time, and it's easier and more tempo-accurate than what I can do with my fingers/hands. Does Chops support more than one "instrument" at a time? Typically I use one click for the kick, and then a different one for the snare. Can it act like a standard MIDI controller for external software/hardware?

No chewing, it just goes under the lip.

In Sweden it used to say "causes cancer" on the tin like it does on cigarettes. But the government removed the warning and now it just carries a nonspecific "harmful to health" warning. I guess that means that there wasn't enough proof that it actually causes cancer. But of course, future research might prove again that it does.
Nah, you misunderstand the complaint. The UX is annoying if you just want to message your friends Alice and Bob. On other platforms it's trivial. On those, you type alice into the new message bar, click her contact, type bob into the address bar, click his contact, then write your message and hit send. On signal, you have to create a new group first.

I'm not talking about wanting to make the kinds of groups with dynamic membership like you're talking about.
In CouchDB 4.0 the backend of CouchDB will be switching to FoundationDB, which will have a 8MB limit, so they're preemptively making the change. You can remove the limit now if you'd like.
Solving hard problems is the trap of the genius. I know.

We want a simpler world, but create complex software to do that. All we are doing is moving the complexity under the rug somewhere else. The complexity is still there, warts and all.

Doing something mundane over a large surface area (quantity being the hard vector) is better than solving a really difficult problem that has little reach in terms of real-world value.

The complexity in my own startup is its multi-layered nature, solving multiple problems for multiple levels of ability. I'm still aware of the fail aspect, but one layer will succeed. I know this. I have a 10 year challenge, but sooner is better. I know for a fact what i'm doing isn't being done out in the wild apart from a couple of sporadic os projects badly implemented and a couple of small commercial ventures that kind-of work. On different products on different levels.

If you're going to put your eggs into one basket, make it the basket of n dimensions.

Mind you, there's (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot) more to Electron than a webview. Some apps are running quite a bit of un-sandboxed native code—sometimes even forking off other native processes†—to do what they do. Keybase is, IIRC, one of the apps that are quite large on the "native" side.

† I once designed a system that has Electron install an Erlang release to the client, register it as a service, and start it. The Erlang node runs a locally-bound web server; the Electron app then visits that web server. All the data-wrangling happens in Erlang land, with Electron just serving as an HTML renderer for the pages coming from the local server. And yet Electron's native side is essential, here, because it ultimately manages the Erlang release (installing it, updating it, etc.) Erlang doesn't have any good tooling for doing client-native stuff on its own; Erlang devs find the whole idea of deploying an Erlang release to a client machine funny.

The article is denying that e-cig leads to traditional smoking. That isn't the same as e-cig usage going up among young people which is virtually undeniable. That also means the comparisons of e-cig being safer than cigarettes is less important for this group since they were unlikely to smoke without the existence of e-cigarettes.
