I understand the gist of what you are saying but consider this. Are there enough pizza management positions to absorb the number of adjuncts? I don't think so and I know you were just using Dominos as an example. If the set of all underpaid, abusive adjuncts suddenly entered the marketplace what consequences would there be? Are there enough positions? Would more less intelligent people be unemployed or have their wages decrease?

Overall, though you are right. There is way too much participation in graduate school in relation to the job market for those skills. However, this fact does not justify treating people poorly and this is where labor market regulation comes into play. Unfortunately we Americans, in the form of our elected officials, have decided that such regulation is too burdensome.

I think the concern is the large crowds of ordinary people using trains, airplanes, hotels, restaurants and event venues, not the athletes.
Well, here you have one! Computer science notation is vastly superior to the common mathematical one. It's a different league of clarity.

But my papers need to follow the consensus, as I'm already trying to get a hard idea across to my reader who decides to spend 15 minutes to try and understand me, maybe.

So yes, then I need to introduce 15 symbols, half of them greek, and a number of operations between them using whatever line/subscript/superscript/brace is fashionable.

The biggest difference is in slides. In slides I try and can usually avoid the math notation. Because I am there talking it through, which makes notation less important and gives me an opportunity to switch to long variable names and everything a function, more akin to the software notation.

Cloudflare. A great solution if you want nobody to be able to easily access your website.
Indeed. A Unix text file without a final newline is an abomination and will cause trouble in all sorts of contexts.

I had this exact thing happen to me as well, but wrote it off to having been compromised (fortunately I was only using Cloudflare as secondary DNS servers on a non-production account and am not using them as a registrar, so I only noticed months after the fact). I think a major reason going with someone like Cloudflare for DNS in the first place is reliability and availability and this does not speak to that.

Zero communication in my case as well.
I don’t know much about it. From what I’ve seen it looks like something Stephen Wolfram can use really well but I wonder if other people are able to use it.
These viruses don't originate in China by random chance.

Although, ironically, they originate in China because of too little government control over hygiene in wet markets and game meat, not too much authoritarianism.
There are already vaccine prototypes in the lab. The hope is we can delay the spread long enough that they can get out of the lab and into mass production. Next years flu shot could contain this as well if all goes perfect. If we can just hold back until then we are okay. That is a big if though.
Javascript doesn't "need" dependency injection because modules are objects, and you can mock those directly by replacing what they reference to. Very similar story in python. You could say people do DI in these dynamic languages without calling it DI.

Now Java and C# are different because they are compiled. You need a DI tool to do dynamic dispatch if you want to mock.
New battleground for cloud giants: customer service
Last week, I have had an issue where a number of domains were purged from the 2nd tier registrar (Claranet) with exactly the same symptoms (domains suspended, zone-files blown away)... and Network Solutions are to blame.

An assumption of false-payment led to them suspending "300-500" accounts (mostly UK based). I am still of the opinion something far more sinister is at play... and this doesn't comfort me.
yeah, corruption and self-serving behavior among bureaucrats is not unique to authoritarianism and/or communism.

with that said, the underlying critique is valid: there is more overt pressure for information-hiding in an authoritarian regime. but boeing, for example, shows that you don't need an authoritarian communist system to want to look good to people who have influence over your livelihood and stature (and thereby suppress bad information).

Your accusations of fear-mongering are ill-founded and un-productive.

I'm of course completely factually correct that there is no vaccine for COVID-19 (although there is a SARS vaccine that may help). Which, even if it is only as deadly as the flu, is still a huge issue. I have immune-compromised family members, so I get the flu vaccine. I have no such luxury in this case.

The fact that the symptoms are mild for most people only makes it more of a danger, because people are less likely to self-quarantine if they only have cold-like symptoms.

All the confirmed cases in the U.S. are currently under quarantine. However, the CDC does fully expect that the disease will spread free here in the states.

Northern Italian states have closed all public schools, universities, and public events.
Agree
I can install f-droid, but I would still need the play store for most things...
If that's true, then that's worse than it's portrayed by the authorities. I've read that roughly 20% of those who get it need intensive care with artificial respiration, but there are not enough facilities to accommodate such patients if a larger wave of infections occurs.
This looks really cool! I've worked with large data sets before and one of the most annoying things was when they were split up into multiple files. Do you currently support statistics across multiple datasets?

Also, how did you come up with the pricing? 500 and call us seems like a lot per month
Thanks for posting, i wanted to see this.
Be wary of being part of something that is a cost center for the company instead of a profit center.

CloudFlare is selling domains at cost. That means they are not making any money from being a domain registrar, which means they will do everything to keep the cost of doing it as low possible to themselves. This means lack of customer service and use of ML dragnets for "anomalous" behavior.
Simple. They don't give a damn about doing what we've all been doing properly for a quarter of a century. Apparently these large companies are above owning O'Reilly books.
Yes i do, i have seen Googlers post positive experiences and defenses/responses to negative posts here.
It seems like in a situation like this authoritarianism is a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, you get fed deceptive information by your local officials, but on the other hand, you have the power to enforce city-scale quarantines rather effectively.

It's not immediately clear to me which of these is actually more important, but it doesn't seem quite as simple as this article is portraying it to be.
OP here. I pay them for domain registration, which they offer at cost. I use their free DNS. I disable DDOS protection.
On the flip side - the cold tends to keep people indoors and away from others. The warm weather tends to make people go outside and interact with others.
The problem with new contagions and social action:

- If society treats the new contagion as no big deal, it can spread and kill A LOT of people, and everyone will say "Why did no one take this seriously!?)

- If society takes it seriously, odds are that any outbreak will be contained and short-lived, and everyone will say "This was hype and not worthy of the concern".

Humans don't process this sort of thing well. You can see it now in the mix of doom predictions, over reactions that happen to fit comfortably with racist sentiments, and statements about how the seasonal flu has killed so many more people than the Corona virus (which should be taken as a sign that flus should be taken seriously, not that they should be ignored, while also true that panic helps no one, but instead come across as "meh, you're overreacting")

In this vein, yes, the reaction to the vaping issues were misplaced to the key problems, were well out scope of the injuries, and appear hypocritical when compared to the many other often-lethal things in society that we openly tolerate. The lesson from that, however, should be "wow, we handle issues of life and death poorly, when those are the issues we'd rather handle well", not "taking any life-and-death situation seriously is an overreaction".
Logged in just to ask this, too
Yes, THIS. We're already seeing the U.S.'s fucked system causing consequences, as in this story of a Miami man getting several thousands of dollars in medical bills for getting tested[1].

We have a system where people are too terrified of their insurers to get tested or get medical care, and too terrified of their employers to stay home from work. It's a recipe for disaster in a pandemic.

Incidentally, the fact that authoritarianism and extreme predatory capitalism cause the same kind of fear that impedes things like public health might also suggest that maybe authoritarianism and extreme predatory capitalism are pretty similar, as folks like Elizabeth Anderson[2] and I[3] have argued...

So basically “we officially deprecated the designation pandemic and call it an alphabet soup, but it’s what we used to call a pandemic”.

That makes it so much clearer. I mean are they trying to help people understand things or not?
Remember that the WHO has no real power, its a coordination body at the best. Its not like the US CDC which can impose restrictions and rules in the US. The WHO can't go into a country without that country's approval. They rely on that country giving out information. So in another words, the WHO must convince the country in question that its in their best interest to cooperate with the WHO.

One CBC article says it the best:

The WHO doesn't have the authority to tell Xi Jingping what to do, let alone take over the fight on the ground. All it can do is engage in what is known as disease diplomacy, and try to convince China that its interests and the world's concerns are completely aligned.

"In some ways the SARS outbreak taught the WHO that you have to have the country that is most affected — the epicentre of the outbreak — on its side. It can't risk alienating the Chinese," says Lee. "I'm sure they know that they're not getting full co-operation, but they're still trying to encourage that."

> So back to that family, the landlord notices the market has moved, and he raises the rent 10%. The landlord gains $400/mo. The tenants gain nothing except the “privelege” of non-eviction.

It seems like that "privilege" is worth to the tenant than the money, even after the increase. Otherwise they would have moved. Therefore, it is not a zero sum game.
Yes, laser focus on real-world problems like unused variables (don't matter) or unused imports (matter even less).

> Theoretical problem: Someone might mutate a variable intend to be constant.

> Go designers: Then put a comment saying not to do that.

One can only wonder why they even bothered writing a compiler when comments can solve it all.

> Real problem: Exceptions can happen anywhere and often go unchecked.

> Go designers: Then call exceptions "panics" and encourage people not to use them.

> Theoretical problem: Someone might ignore an error return value.

> Go designers: Let paranoid people write linters.

Because that way it's even easier to ignore than exceptions, and that's… good apparently?

Also create `append` where not using the return value just right (with no help from the compiler but that's OK because comments are where it's at) doesn't just create a bug in your program it can create two or more, what relentlessly efficient focus on real-world problems.
> Most ethical hackers will remember the 2013 case of Robert Kugler, the 17-year old German student who was shafted out of a huge bounty after he discovered a critical bug on PayPal’s site. Kugler notified PayPal of the vulnerability on May 19, but apparently PayPal told him that because he was under 18, he was ineligible for the Bug Bounty Program.

>But according to PayPal, the bug had already been discovered by someone else, but they also admitted that the young hacker was just too young.

Bad PR like this shows that bug bounty programs are probably more trouble than they’re worth.
How will a zero tolerance policy for harassers be enforced?
> My thought is just to remove precedence and associativity entirely -- instead of "a + b + c/2" you have to make it explicit -- "a + (b + (c/2))". The only problem that I see is that there are two ways of writing this, you could also write "(a + b) + (c/2)".

Or how about... (+ a b (/ c 2))
Why do you say that? You havent been on the receiving end of the UK Security Services & UK Police which started when I was a primary school. But hey dont worry, I'm now officially catagorised as F22 Delusion by the NHS, go back to sleep twat!
I think the bigger concern is the large international crowd. I will be attending a conference with international attendees and I've started to become concerned.
IMHO (and I know the parent post includes significant difficulties getting back out of Cloudflare), services like Cloudflare may be crucial to decentralization. I can't deal with something like my blog post being frontpaged on HN if my website is hosted in my house, unless I have a good CDN.

As a self-hosting enthusiast, something like Cloudflare is one of the best chances of having a plan that competes with "just hosting it in the cloud".
> originate in China because of too little government control over hygiene in wet markets and game meat

China isn't unique here, it's also the case for most of Africa and other South East Asian countries.
>This seems a little hypocritical given that the US [...]

How is it hypocritical when the article doesn't even mention the US at all? It's possible to be critical of China's authoritarianism AND whatever the US's failures are.
I think this is a bit nitpicky. I figured what it meant pretty immediately but even if I hadn't the actual article would have cleared it up quickly.
You missed my point. I was not saying that this story is a good example of that ongoing dynamic. But instead that there is such a dynamic in our industry, and the telling of the story resonates well with it.
You’re exactly right, and this is something I put a lot of work into! I designed a new phonetic alphabet - the “Talon alphabet” - (which isn’t proprietary to Talon, people have used it with Caster as well).

The trick is one-syllable words to represent each letter in the alphabet, but they have high phoneme diversity (sub-syllable unique sounds) and care was taken to ensure they can be differentiated even when saying them “too fast” in a stream without gaps, and I tested them extensively to make sure I picked words that didn’t clog up your mouth too much. The result is I can type 58wpm for short bursts using the alphabet alone, which is enough to play ztype, write entire words that would be hard to dictate, and control vim directly without an additional command set.

The base alphabet is:

air bat cap drum each fine gust harp sit jury crunch look made near odd pit quench red sun trap urge vest whale plex yank zip

Go ahead, see how fast you can read the alphabet in order. Then try reading it even faster, blurring the word boundaries together a bit. You can still tell the words apart!

Some people change a couple of words if they don’t work well in their accent, but the base idea holds strong.
I don’t believe it is, the virus can be quarantined efficiently if the country is responsive to the outbreaks. Vietnam had early outbreaks, quarantined areas via a ring system, and the country has contained the virus very well.

This is a country that is poorer than South Korea, Japan, or Italy and shares a border with China.
Can't think of a reason this domain was touched (I don't work for CF) but I'd recommend reading the threads related to this search:

https://community.cloudflare.com/search?q=127.0.0.1%20audit

Every related incident seems to be due to either nameservers temporarily/incidentally chanced away from CF (and CF's service not re-checking it perhaps) or the registration billing failing (which doesn't look to be the case since registration expires 2021[0]). The latest change to the domain was about a week ago[0], so if that was when it was transferred to CF, it might be the first scenario.

> Because Cloudflare deleted my domain registration I can't change the status from clientTransferProhibited through their dashboard so I don't think I can even leave.

Unless something else happened, deleting the zone from your account doesn't affect the registration. Re-adding the domain will instantly allow you to view the registration info and likely transfer away; this would only not work if the zone is banned for some reason.

Making a home-brew social network
It's binned. Everything public indicates they do not manufacture a 6-core chiplet and are turning stuff off on 8-core ones.

Curiously, TSMC seemingly published their N7 defect densities and they're low enough that most chiplets would not have outright dead cores. Specifically, they said 0.09 defects per square cm in a slide you can see at https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/2879/tsmc-5-nanometer-update/ . If that's saying what it appears to, lower SKUs must use a lot of chiplets where all the cores turn on, but (say) might not hit the top chip's performance spec within its TDP.

The 7742 needs all cores to run at 2.5GHz averaging ~3.2W apiece if you leave 25W of the 225W for the I/O die. The 7642 is looser: 2.3GHz averaging ~4.1W apiece, and that after dropping the "worst" core from any CCX where they all work. (For non-obsessives, a CCX is a four-core group connected to a 16MB chunk of L3 cache.)

Note lower SKUs like the 3700X/3800X and 7232P use 8-core chiplets. You can figure the chiplet count for an SKU by dividing its L3 capacity by 32MB, and from there you can figure how many cores each chiplet has enabled.

There's also plain market segmentation, i.e. enabling/disabling stuff on identical chips to sell at different prices. In this gen I doubt it's good strategy for AMD to hold back much performance like that, though, since they really want to get some market share right now.

(If turned-off cores generally work but below spec, that suggests there could be some way to make them useful for extremely-threaded workloads. Split hardware threads onto two lower-clocked physical cores when it looks like a net win, say. Can see enough potential thorns not to bother trying, but thinking of possibly-useful silicon sitting there turned off makes it just so tempting, heh.)
The link you shared states that there have been 64 deaths, and that emergency room visits continue to decline. The theory that the entire rash of injuries was caused by vitamin E acetate is broadly accepted.

The sort of fear-mongering you're engaging in exactly what's meant by moral panic.
Does anyone here think it's a bad idea to travel internationally at this time? I have a trip from US to UK planned in 2 weeks...
This is an analyst's opinion, and is not supported by Apple on-record. "We expect" != "Apple confirms". Relevant quote from the article:

> We expect that Apple's new products in 12-18 months will adopt processors made by 5nm process, including the new 2H20 5G iPhone, new 2H20 iPad equipped with mini LED, and new 1H21 Mac equipped with the own-design processor. We think that iPhone 5G support, iPad 's adoption of innovative mid-size panel technology, and Mac's first adoption of the own-design processor are all Apple's critical product and technology strategies. Given that the processor is the core component of new products, we believe that Apple had increased 5nm-related investments after the epidemic outbreak. Further, Apple occupying more resources of related suppliers will hinder competitors' developments.
Greetings Everyone, I help maintain the Caster project. The key difference from other solutions out there as we seek to support a completely open source voice coding stack. Open source is only way to go long term if you're going to being using a tool for most of your life. Fortunately for some it acts as a bridge until their RSI symptoms becomes manageable or goes into remission.

We are working towards cross-platform support Linux and Mac as well as adding support for Kaldi. Dragonfly is already cross-platform so just a few windows specific functions to be ported yet in Caster.

Its not broken, it does make concurrent parallel requests.

Whats with the nitpicking on hacker news?
you're right, it's their CDN not their DNS. Nevertheless many site owners choose Cloudflare (paid or not paid) and use Cloudflare's default settings and maybe they also never check their sites from second or third world countries. Result is that the Internet is utterly broken on many Cloudflare hosted sites (and that's a lot of sites) outside of first world countries.
There's an implicit comparison to the alternative.
Hi Paul! Good to hear you’re doing well and that the inspiration has lasted this long. :)

Yes, Landon was handed the job of implementing transactional storage on NOR Flash memory, which nobody had ever heard of, while bearing in mind that the battery could be taken out at any moment. As I recall, he just sort of went off and quietly did that (aside from the faint sounds of him banging his head on his desk). And I don’t remember ever hearing of lost data on a Newton.
