> radical libertarianism

Calling something "radical" is a tried-and-true technique to attempt to discredit it without arguing the point. What I described isn't that far from the federal government in early America.

> The point of government is to organize society, to provide a framework for doing things which we all collectively agree need to be done, but is in nobody's selfish interest to do.

Why? How do you justify using force to coerce others toward your vision of what you believe correct?

> There is a lot of stuff that fits this category.

Such as what? Please tell me why each of these must be done by the government.

> the government doesn't just set rules and boss you around.

Well, that is mostly what it does. There were over 50 volumes of federal law by the 80s: http://www.kowal.com/?q=How-Many-Federal-Laws-Are-There%3F

Some of the services you mentioned are there for good reason. I'm okay with weather and maps - the military does need to have that information (even if the military should be smaller), and once the information is collected, it's a public good and can be made available to citizens. I'd prefer stuff like forests were managed on a local level. As for emergencies, private disaster relief often does a better job: https://capitalresearch.org/article/private-sector-disaster-...

> Do you think society should be organized or not?

Talk about a false dichotomy. There are absolutely more- and less-organized societies. I've made it pretty clear that the government should keep the peace, uphold property rights, and enforce contracts.

> The notion that everything will all magically self-organize into a nice society is manifestly a myth.

Why? The above provide plenty of structure for a "nice society", for some definitions of nice. What's yours?

> I would rather live in the former Soviet Union in all its totalitarian dysfunctionality than in what libertarians imagine utopia to be like.

That's your choice, except your choice messes with my life. Mine only messes with yours to the extent that you no longer get to steal my stuff.

> If you want an example of that, try Somalia.

The Somalian government does not keep the peace. It does not uphold property rights. It does not enforce contracts.

> tl;dr libertarianism is anarchy in a business suit.

That statement is a willfully ignorant attempt to create a straw man. Democrats are communists in business suits, republicans are fascists in business suits, both of those statements are just as important. There are some anarchists, but not very many.
Pretty much. I'll be like oh nice that's 6$ and I'll add that for 3$ and great "Your total: 74.95, would you like to tip 20%?"
That is not meant literally but pejoratively.
The article leaves out a pretty important question you should ask yourself: "What fraction of the data will I need to access?"

If the answer is "much less than the whole file", accessing the data over the network makes sense.
Otherwise, you should almost certainly bring it to a local disk, where mmap shines.

Possession of what? AFAIK possession, and minor dealing, is pretty much tolerated by UK police. Underage ate probably cautioned, unless it's class A, or weapons .. and then I struggle to see why someone shouldn't be arrested/charged just because of their skin colour?
My one and only (and probably last) experience with UberEats was a couple of weeks ago when a driver picked up my order and then proceeded to hang around the nearby airport for ~30 minutes with my food. The airport was sort of along the way to my house but not really. It was almost like he was trying to pick somebody up (for Uber or Lyft I guess) and hopefully get someone near me to drop them off then my food but it ended up just wasting 30 minutes and turning my food cold. I contacted Uber during the trip and then afterwards and they refused to talk to me more than "here is 5 dollars in UberBucks, sorry!". Terrible customer service IMO.

edit: Side note about their customer service, there seemed no easy way to contact them during my delivery. I tried to contact the driver but the call was declined twice. Uber kept telling me that "the food may be experiencing delays, wait until it arrives before contacting us."
remember what the USSR did with chernobyl? They constantly downplayed the numbers to save face. I suspect that's what they're doing here. No 100% guarantee but considering the CCP's record of doing everything they can to maintain their pride and not showing weakness this would make sense.
Very nice.

It would be awesome if someone had a bunch of corpii available and you could select which ones you want to use from a drop down.

Shakespeare autocomplete, pulp sci fi autocomplete, Ursula le Guinn autocomplete etc.

I assume you might mix and match as well but for that you might have to train it up yourself on the corpus.
They plan to close them until spring holidays late next month. We can expect much of the US to do the same if the virus comes in during the winter season.

This is a big reason why the stock market is dropping.
It's definitely cool to see Haskell projects getting used in industry. I am a big fan of Hasura and the value it gives in the GraphQL space.
There's one reason: one less wire to deal with. I bought a Logitech G703 just to avoid the clutter and tugging on the cable when using it (and not having to buy or build a dampener for the cable). It has a cable I can use to charge it or use when it's low on charge, and I can't notice any difference in latency when it's wired or wireless, or compared to any wired mouse I've ever used. I'm also not playing many FPS, and definitely not anywhere near a competitive level, so even if there is some measurable latency it simply makes no difference to me.

The wireless dongle is plugged into a USB port on my monitor so it's only about a foot away, though not quite direct LOS. And if I wanted to fork over $100 for Logitech's wireless charging mousepad, I'd never have to plug it in again. I probably won't, but it's an option.

The only wire on my desk is for my keyboard.
> Saying "just don't use fans" is useless smugness.

Is it? You can buy fanless computers of various kinds, and it may make sense to do so in certain scenarios. One shouldn't put a fan in a computer "because computers have to have fans", but that's the approach a lot of companies take to tracking. Data gets hoarded and never looked at.
What are some examples of Fake Forex shops?
But please inform yourself before.

In my area in germany for example, the flu is already peaking, so it would be actually harmful to get the vaccine now, as the protection time is around 2 weeks later(I think) and the vaccine temporarily lowers your immune system.
Which means, getting the vaccine now means actually a higher risk of getting the real flu (or something else).

Vaccines should be taken ahead of the season.
> Further, 2 days ago some numbers out of China stated that up to 14% of previously infected became infected again.

Fake news
It has been since we went off the gold standard, yes. However, the government has already been taxing for this service in the form of inflation (which, incidentally, is one of the more regressive taxes one could devise). All we have to do is abolish the fed and go back to the gold standard and this problem is solved.
I expected some examples and benchmarks with some common unix tools.
You can reasonably oppose the officials, sure, but the schools and other services in your area still need funding. Avoiding the census is a vote not to fund them, and unlike a normal vote every single return or lack of it has a direct impact on the level of that funding.

Also the census results are applied for a whole decade during which officials can change and many elections will take place.

Same goes for their high death rate. Either they're lying about infections (which seems to be the current shared assumption of everyone else) or their version of the virus grew some really nasty teeth.
Why Every Business Needs a Wiki
I don't understand your first argument. Surely increasing the denominator would lower the mortality percent?

Also does the total number of infected not include the dead?

Take input and transform it into output is the fundamentals of programming.

New developers often struggle with fundamentals and will usually only test the input they expect.

Some one else has to intentionally give you bad input before you realise thats a thing people will do and something you need to think about.

It doesn't help that most tutorials focus on getting output (yay results!) rather than focusing on how to get consistent transformation of input to output. The result is a lot of tutorials that focus on getting something done and forget / assume the fundamentals.
Or feel like death. Last time I ordered delivery via one of these apps was when I was at the tail end of a very bad stomach bug and even walking to the door left me wobbly and breathing hard. I cracked the door open "I'm sick, you can just set it down" and swallowed the absurd price I paid for it because a salad and a sandwich sounded like it would be much kinder to my stomach than pizza and I knew I didn't have it in me to actually prepare something.
Maybe they wanted to send messages from one hilltop to another, where there was no aqueduct. Also the system described may be low bandwidth but it's also low latency. Would be useful to relay messages of a security/defense nature.
My wireless mouse has a removable cable so I can charge and use it at the same time. It takes about 15 minutes to charge fully. It's really not that insane.

99% of the time I get to use my mouse with no cord dragging around, and it's never died on me because I can just plug it in when necessary.
> explain why this sort of bollocks makes them think lower of the judge rather than just thinking badly of the author?

That might not necessarily be what you want to hear but: Because I ignore the bollocks. Conspiracy theorist or not, the author seems to at least have an informed point of view, where his reporting is factual it seems to reflect reporting in e.g. the corresponding Guardian articles. Where it's not I either ignore it because it's unnecessary ramblings or see it as interesting tidbits dry reporting of other outlets leave out. The part you specifically point out for example, I had a laugh at that and went on with my life. I'm not reflecting much bad on that particular judge for that part but took it as a, in my view, rather ridiculous aspect of this proceeding (without too much judgement of whether that is normal or not, I wouldn't know).

I knew nothing about this person 4 days ago, 3 days ago I learned that he was one of only 16 people (as per his first article in the series) to actually bother enough and manage to get one of the seats for the public. He clearly puts effort in and I for one enjoy his writing style. That doesn't mean I'll stop reading regular news but it certainly makes me come back when he publishes his piece on the next court date.
Well sure, stealing from others is a violation of the NAP. That's part of the "keeping the peace" duty I mentioned in my above position that the state should keep the peace, uphold property rights, and enforce contracts.

> on k8s, you'd use a LoadBalancer

Which will be internally backed by exactly the kind of infra the OP is describing.

* MetalLB doesn't work in most cloud environments because the networking is weird.

* MetalLB is extremely new while VIP+Nginx/HAP has been working forever and is the standard choice for implementing a HA LB.

* MetalLB plays the same exact role as what the OP is laying just in a different style that has nothing to do with k8s. MetalLB could have been unicast VRRP for all it matters. The value is the code to instrument the LB from within k8s which can work with any external LB.

In k8s load balancers are inherently external to the cluster and need to maintain their state. It doesn't really matter how this is accomplished but Pacemaker/Corosync is the "off the shelf and supported by your distro with good docs" option.

"Why don't you just use $managed_k8s?" -- Because it defeats the purpose of learning how to administer it.

Sibebar:

Why is everybody treating k8s like it's something special and magical here and needs it's own solution? Your k8s cluster is a group of app servers with a little bit of networking sprinkle so that you can reach every app from any node and some API sprinkle to allow the app servers to instrument external resources.

The k8s cluster needs something outside itself to route traffic to all the nodes. There isn't a way around this. From an infra perspective a k8s cluster is a black box of generic app servers that want to be able to control the LB with an API integration. Nothing else.
Food delivery in its current form will be short-lived.

It is a 4 party system where the company controlling the money is the only one that wins.

Restaurants are asked to pay 30% of the ticket. The customer is asked to pay more than expected for their meal, a delivery fee, and a tip. For the customer, this can be nearly double for a simple $10 lunch.

The driver that has to deliver it gets stuck with fuel, automatic, and typically much less than $15 an hour. All of this is happening while Doordash has a 10billion dollar valuation.

> what's the indication to make the cost worthwhile?

That sentence doesn’t quite parse, but in China COVID-19 is treated for free whereas for regular pneumonia you have to pay whatever out of pocket cost after insurance coverage.
Indeed, you are right - I corrected the formulas.
I mean didn't the dude come out ahead? To the tune of like $10K?
It's difficult/impossible to put a specific probability (which would be an oxymoron) on any one particular person dying. The somewhat vague risk factors take time to accumulate from statically-larger samples if there were more deaths. We know it's a couple of orders of magnitude worse than the seasonal flu but less than the 1918 flu and the plague, hence the extreme quarantine measures to reduce its infectivity to essentially 0. Once quarantine goes into effect, it doesn't matter how infectious is a pathogen because it's dead because of math.
I would gladly give 10 years of my life to be in your position. We humans are very weird.
Seems like Apple has 'deprecated' the Firewire stack in macOS. Catalina works, but don't count on it being available much longer.

>The general issue with this measure of mortality (dead/infected) is that you're assuming that the infected won't die.

On the other hand, there are also a lot of infected who only have a mild version and are never checked and recorded, which swings it in the other direction.

Edit: Seems like the parent post later edited their post to mention the above.
It's also really nice, I think the appeal of Hasura is to leverage all the GraphQL clients. Things like Apollo save a lot of time in React and iOS for example since they abstract the whole service layer. I'm not sure if something similar exists for PostgREST.

> There seems to be many cases of young patients dying in Iran. Either because there are way more cases than being officially reported or (hopefully not) the virus has mutated to affect the young more, or both.

They could easily have had an undiagnosed underlying condition that made them more susceptible to complications. This is to be expected in places like Iran with severe limitations in their healthcare system. It might be a more useful data point if it was from the US, UK, Spain, etc.

When you book a security firm, surely you give them details about what you want them to do. They may advise you, but you decide.

That's what we expect. And when it comes to court systems the appointed representative in positions of authority should decide what's required of hired help.

I agree you can never say never but you also can't sanitise against a risk that hasn't been defined yet simply because you wouldn't know what needs to be sanitised.

For example what if your NLP is bootstrapped from a shell script and your database content has been stripped of SQL but still contains stuff that might be interpreted as $(sub-shells)? Before long you run into a situation where literally no characters are considered safe (eg even alpha characters in the English alphabet are used as tokens in some programming languages and "what if someone builds a script in one of those languages?").

The only sane way to address the unknown is to treat raw strings as "dirty" and follow best practices when handling them (plus all the usual processes to properly test your code before it's used in production). In which case you're back to no longer needing input sanitisation.
Here's an alternative to regulation: use some of the tax money gained from Etsy and other companies to subsidize the creation of a competitor. One of the known inefficiencies in the free market is how long it takes to set up a viable competitor and how expensive it is, so if the government puts its finger on the scale here, you get closer to the ideals behind the free market.
colloquial sanitization?

Ask HN: Targeting open source contributions to help respond to covid-19
What open source contributions can I make, with the goal of assisting in some way with scientists responding to the new coronavirus?

What I'd like, ideally, is a prioritised set of feature or change requests for open source projects, from scientists who are actually using them for covid-19 related work.

Links to forums through which I could reach these scientists, and other related resources, would also be nice.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, a company called Cyber Research made a "backwards PC case" with both the slots and drive bays facing the same side. They used to advertise in PC Computing and Byte and stuff, if I recall correctly.

I think they were being cynical, that the UK is the US's lapdog and so UK courts do whatever the US says. However this cynicism is misplaced. UK courts don't give a fuck about what even the UK government policy is (see today's ruling on third runway at Heathrow), let alone foreign government policy.
But the infected who isn’t dead may or may not die at the end. So using infected as the denominator is not accurate. But using just the recovered as denim Arie is also incorrect unless you have enough samples. Using China’s figures are wildly inaccurate because of lack of tests and transparency. So maybe a better complex model can be derived from current datas
It’s pretty funny seeing conservative outlets doing a complete 180, going from “coronavirus is the end of the world!” when they could use it to stoke anti-Chinese xenophobia to “it’s no worse then the common cold” once they realized that conservative-dominated governments (UK, USA, Aus) would be shouldering blame for their incompetent pandemic response.

I hated the noise that my N40L microserver made (even though it was super quiet already). Now I have a NUC, and plugged a USB powered fan [1] into it to blow air over the chassis (the small fans in the NUC are noisy as hell when it's under even moderate load). Now it's so quiet I can't hear it. For storage I got a USB3 based 5-drive chassis and hooked up my 4 drives running mirrored ZFS. USB3's 5Gbps is more than plenty for my usage.
