I would agree with that. During the last election cycle (and already this one), the one thing the polls consistently got wrong was just how pissed "Joe-Midwest Average Voter" is that his life is much worse than his parents' were at the same age.

When people online and in the news express how they just don't understand why people still support Trump, it's because they're not trying to understand. If all you care about is disrupting as much of the system as possible and pissing people off as much as possible, you're getting exactly what you wanted.
In this case, the fallback is still a plain-text field, into which the user should enter numbers. Perfectly usable, but without the keyboard hint, so it seems like a graceful fallback to me.

Yes, I do realize. I do not think this is a good thing. I think the government is currently doing plenty of terrible things. It has done bad things to me personally. The magnitude of those bad things would have been from three times to infinitely worse if I were Black.

You keep repeating these assertions as if we're not on the same page. We are on the same page here.

Where we diverge is that you're taking this indictment, and extrapolating it to an indictment of all government regulation.

I'm actually predisposed to this point of view as well, with regulatory capture and all, but the fact of the matter is that the synergy of government and corporate power is going to happen regardless of which rights we attempt to obtain for us individuals. And so we might as well try to reserve an ability to opt out of commercial surveillance as part of their bargain.

Commercial surveillance eventually feeds right into that same government which has abused you and your family, while being much more agile than blunt government programs. As far as I'm aware, there is no law which requires Experian, Lexisnexis, etc to pass their surveillance data to all levels of government, including the local cops that you're rightly worried about. They do so because it is profitable, and because power generally coalesces.
This seems totally backwards. Americans in general are eating too much. Our society would be better off if people ate less food and wasted more of it.

I'm going to say go for it. If this event holds enough significance for you that you will regret not going, then I say go. With the caveat that you maintain good hygiene, wear a mask and take any appropriate steps.

I am interested in hearing the counter argument though.
I meant that in a healthy patient with good access to health care, who presumably would not suffer tremendously from COVID-19, and be treated the same regardless of whether they had that or influenza, why get testing? It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the gist. In the US, at least, I doubt that the cost of care would change whether or not it is COVID-19 vs influenza pneumonia versus bacterial pneumonia.
I've come across this problem a number of times. The same applies in, for example, passing IDs across in JSON where I use strings if at all possible.

Even money amount are typically challenging to treat as numeric as often that drops them into a float when you shouldn't be processing money amounts as floats.
I get that, but what happens when the big ISPs decide to moderate content? They're private businesses too...

Isn't that what started the movement for Net Neutrality in the first place? They were going to start charging us to provide YouTube, etc.

I agree that this is a bad legal argument, but I do think there's an underlying issue, even if it's not an issue with YouTube itself.

Granted, the best way to deal with that might be to attach some sort of neutrality provisions to the various contracts they have to agree to in order to lay fiber, get spectrum, etc. rather than deciding what websites can and can't do.
They did it on desktop already, what did you expect?
The latest report "Relative sensitivity of international surveillance" seems pretty solid.

> ... In previous reports, we estimated the likely epidemic size in Wuhan City based on air traffic volumes and the number of detected cases internationally. Here we analysed COVID-19 cases exported from mainland China to different regions and countries, comparing the country-specific rates of detected and confirmed cases per flight volume to estimate the relative sensitivity of surveillance in different countries.

> Although travel restrictions from Wuhan City and other cities across China may have reduced the absolute number of travellers to and from China, we estimated that about two thirds of COVID-19 cases exported from mainland China have remained undetected worldwide, potentially resulting in multiple chains of as yet undetected human-to-human transmission outside mainland China.

Quite the contrary, one of the benefits of PWAs is exactly that when they are distributed via app stores they get access to native APIs without any kind of manual FFI.

That is how they work across ChromeOS, Android and Windows, with Apple being the outlier for obvious reasons.
"data breaches are part of life" is a fun new take. I hadn't seen it before, but now I imagine all such communications will include this sentiment in some form. Man, we really have rolled over on this issue.

It's surprisingly hard to tell which certificate was the billionth issued. You'd have to decide on a source of truth, and CT is probably not a good one for this purpose. Submissions to CT are not necessarily made and processed in issuance order. The goal is to get all certs into CT as quickly as possible, but ordering isn't particularly important (maybe one submission from our CA starts a second before another but the network request is delayed until after the second one).

At the heart of things, our certificate signing infrastructure includes multiple HSMs, each one with multiple signing cores. This means that we're signing certificates in parallel all the time.

The signed certificates are inserted into our internal database in a serialized order, but due to how we optimize our database it's not easy for us to just ask "what is the billionth one." That kind of query is usually not a very useful one for us to make.
A very effective way to reduce food waste is to make sure produce is not damaging during shipping and handling. You just need to wrap individual fruits and vegetables in a lot of plastic.

In X.509, the CA never sees the private key associated with a certificate. So while a state actor could always manufacture a “legitimate CA-signed” replacement cert and MITM you with it, they can’t do anything about modern defense-in-depth security approaches like certificate pinning, since it’s the particular public key of the original cert being pinned, not the CA’s authority + CN.

Ordinary flu killed some 80k americans last year. Covid-19 seems to be ~20x as deadly as the ordinary flu, and spreading at least as fast if not much more. So if it becomes endemic, embedded in the general population, just as flu is now - then the next flu season will have 1.6 million dead americans. Most people would consider that this is a large and undesireable result; that worrying about such a result is reasonable, and that it would be imperative to try and prevent it from happening if we can.

Food may be cheaper than ever but there are also hundreds of millions of people who can barely afford to eat.

Any plan to intentionally raise the price of food across the board will result in millions of people being at risk of malnutrition or starvation. It's not something to suggest lightly.

The best plan for the climate is to kill all humans. But I don't think that's what we want.

Each individual assertion in your comment, & your intended implication, is false.

Bitcoin, & close relatives, require a public ledger, but some altcoins use other technologies to prevent a publicly-readable ledger.

But, Brave uses an off-blockchain technology ('ANONIZE': https://tech.cornell.edu/built/anonize/) to tally attention without per-browser/per-user tracking. So, the use of their BAT tokens to net-out rewards, even though on the public Ethereum ledger, has no contradiction with the "tracker-free internet" goal.
Uh, what? Here's a simple example, clang supports windows. Clang's "bundled" standard library, libc++, doesn't support windows. Clang also not only allows but is commonly used with libstd++ instead.

Mixing and matching compilers and standard libraries is not only possible it's common. Especially when cross-compiling enters the picture.

There is no bundling of any kind in any concept of that word, practically or technically, between C++ compilers and standard libraries. This is also a good thing, it makes porting C++ to new platforms far more easier than it otherwise would be.

They even have independent feature compliance sections. Clang & G++ both support new C++ features independently of whether or not their "bundled" standard library does yet.

I think you misunderstood my point. I am not saying that you should reject valid (that is: semantically meaningful) input, but that if you are confronted with semantically meaningless input, you should reject it rather than garble it so that it gains some random meaning.

So:

Name input field, value "J. O'Brien": accept

JSON parameter, value "{foo:bar}": reject

The context was the idea that you should gracefully accept bad input. If your code considers "J. O'Brien" bad input for a name, then that's the problem, not that it doesn't accept bad input.

If we lived in a world where 0% of food was wasted, we would be living in a world with 0% safety margin for a supply shock (aka famine).

For this reason alone, I don't mind food waste too much.

It's also a reason (although I think corn ethanol is more wasteful than useful on the whole) for the government to support corn ethanol. If famine arrives, divert the dent corn from the refineries and have everyone eat more grits.
Get off your high horse. South Korea is doing damage control after Pres. Mun Jaein failed to put stops on people flowing in from China. Handing out masks and doing drive-in clinics are just a publicity stunt in S.Korea to look like they're controlling the spread.

The truth is, no nation has a good answer to this new virus.

Show HN: Nots.io – a developer-centric look at how to document your code
Hi HN,

I’m Alex of Nots.io (https://nots.io) Nots is a SaaS for engineering teams aimed to help keep project docs up-to-date by linking them to the source code.

The problem: During my career, I saw so many times, how the company’s docs and internal knowledge pile up in some knowledge base, wiki, google docs or simply in .md files in the repo. And after a while, everything turns into a mess. It’s hard to find the right document and determine whether it actually covers the code developers are working on right now. When you find something, it’s tedious to detect if the document is not outdated and everybody can trust it.

That’s why a few friends and I decided to build a tool to reflect our look at the documentation. With Nots it’s possible to link any type of doc directly with the code. Make a short note or full-blown markdown spec right at the site. Upload an exiting image, PDF or import GoogleDoc file from your GDrive. Automatically import description and discussion from GitHub pull requests. Get links from jira issue numbers. We know that docs could be spread across many places.

Then in Nots select several lines of code, whole file, commit or branch and link the doc you have with the code. Now all docs have a clear scope. It’s easy to discover what is documented from our site or right from your IDE (right now we have plugins for VSCode and IDEA). Open a file, and if there’s a document for a line(s) added before, you’ll see an icon. Click and get the documentation!

We also track the relevance of each added document. When new commits come in and the code behind the doc changes, we decrease its relevance factor (we call it the fresh-rate). This answers whether the doc is fresh today, and you may rely on it. All this keeps the documentation up-to-date.

As a Product Owner/Business Owner I’m currently using this tool for leaving and exploring documentation for Nots. Would love to get your feedback!
A counterpoint - testing like this takes resources, and creates a backlog for other more pressing tests for patients. I mentioned this in another comment, but if I have a patient with pneumonia, I'm more than likely going to treat it the same way regardless of what the test shows me. Getting samples from everyone takes resources that lots of hospitals don't really have.

Maybe you could get a backlog going that can test for COVID-19, when the lab's RT-PCR machines are underutilized, even after the patient leaves, so that we can get as much data as we can.
I'm not defending Iran's healthcare system. The info I was able to dig up places it as above average, which means that more than 50% of world population will be affected just as bad or worse. Dismissing Iran's data point as not useful takes a specific viewpoint that I consider not empathic enough for my tastes, but everyone is free to disagree.
In the absence of any clear data or guidance either way, I don't think either decision would be terrible or irresponsible of you. If it were me...I probably wouldn't go, but I really don't know. Your parents ages is a factor on both sides, honestly.

Whatever you decide, I applaud you for at least asking the question and thinking about the risks to yourself and others, instead of so many who want to stick their head in the sand and insist that everything is fine.
> This creative accounting suggests that wasting less food would somehow undo all of the harms of food production. But the nutrient cycle does not care whether or not you clean your plate.

This nails it. Unfortunately people who compost their food waste are a negligible minority, especially in the city. I collect the food waste of a local restaurant every week, and it goes to the compost pile. I collect waste from the butcher and it goes to my dog and cat, and what they don't eat goes back to the chickens. The chickens pick through the compost pile for worms and insects and whatever proteins they find, and the compost that's left will eventually feed the garden beds and the vegetables and fruits we'll eat in the summer.
I'm not sure but the point is that it's WELL within the threshold of "mom n pop".

Probably because it includes pre-certificates. I have to run so I don't have time to explain, but basically at a certain point we started submitting each certificate twice, the first one being a "pre-cert." You can probably Google for more info.
That's great for a greenfield project where you're the only developer. If it's multiple people, you have to deal with whatever subset the powers-that-be on your team wish to use. If it's not greenfield, you have to deal with the subset exists in the codebase.

And if you're a Dirty Harry type like me, debugging issues with dozens of disparate codebases written in various crap subsets, you pretty much have to know the whole cursed thing.
My understanding is that Imperfect Produce is, or at least is accused of, taking food that would have been donated to food banks or processed. So those weird looking strawberries were going to be made into Jam, not discarded.

The most bizarre thing to me is that people are taking the numbers with a grain of salt and assuming this means the real numbers are worse.

Deaths are terrible, but they are also really easy to count. Hospitalizations are terrible, but they are only marginally harder to count correctly. Most of the difficulty is that there is some evidence of undercounting at this stage, but it isn't very strong.

Non-hospitalizations of untested citizens with matching symptoms are practically impossible to count accurately.

Each step leads to more error, but these errors may actually imply reduced severity rather than greater severity. Its bad, to be sure, but seriously, there is too much public panic in the air right now.
If you're using an officially published primer sequence? Possible (due to supplier or user error), but _highly_ unlikely. We're pretty good at molecular biology at this point.

> most of air is actually escaping through the edges of the mask and around the nose.

Why is that a problem? My expectation is that what matters is:

1. Air that you inhale comes through the mask filter. It's not necesarily the case that inhaling and exhaling have symmetric effects. When you exhale, you increase air pressure inside the mask, which pushes it away from your face and opens the seals around the edge. When you inhale, I expect it would seal tighter. You can exhale while wearing a swimming mask and bubbles go everywhere. That doesn't mean the mask isn't otherwise water tight.

2. Aerosol particles from infected people coughing and sneezing get caught by the mask and don't go into your airways.

3. You don't touch your face with your hands.
