The No.1 contributor to WHO budget is US tax payer, and the leadership of WHO was begging countries like US not to close flight routes to China in the midst of rapidly spreading disease.

For any observer casual or otherwise it is evident WHO leadership is more worried about being on the good side of China than the health of the world.
They do have generous sick leave, that's why there are so many people ill at the moment. Sure they could have more staff, but someone has to pay for that. In her situation her staffing levels are above the norms used by Den Haag (we put patient service above profit).

I really wish that the situation could be better but unfortunately the huge cuts made since the financial crisis have made that impossible.

Doctors have the same problem.
Tornado - which ended up being the IMHO insanely overpriced and now almost unusable InfoSelect. I once wrote an inventory app using Tornado, batch scripts, and a barcode interface... Was insanely fast.
My takeaway:

1. Setup up monitoring on your critical domains. UptimeRobot and Hetrixtools are good starters with generous free tier. You should know when your website/email/dns isn't working.

2. Don't tie your domain registration with your DNS provider. You lose everything if something goes wrong with your account.

3. Be able to jump ship easily, have backups of your zone, already know where you will transfer to.
I think it is a problem when you talk about fear of ideas. You can label anyone as a Nazi today, and when you ban people, you kinda give them power.

It shows you're afraid of their ideas, and the persecution can embolden them or give them a sense of legitimacy. It can being the Streisand Effect to their cause, taking a no-name site no one knew or cared about and blowing it up into something everyone is deeply aware of.
I'm not trying to fear-monger here, so please don't read that as my intent.

Are you sure though? An "outbreak" is detected by someone having symptoms, by which time they've infected others. If you're an in area with lots of travelers, by the time you have an outbreak, it's already moved on.

I'm watching South Korea - they have plenty of travel, a good population, and an effective government. If they can contain it, that's a good sign, if not, likely a portent of what the western world can expect if carriers become more numerous. So far too early to say, but that's where I'm looking. (And I'm no expert at all, so if anyone has reasons that I'm looking in the wrong place as a bellweather, please share).

My real issue is the lack of good info. We've gotten an R0, but I've not heard anyone express confidence in the results of infection (another commenter suggested 20% require respiratory assistance, but is that of flat infected or of those that are detected as infected in part BECAUSE their symptoms are serious?)
This takes a whole different set of skills against e.g being good at programming.

For example, how do you react to inherently unfair situations, someone taking advantage of someone else? If you start picking on people good politicians will quickly “plausibility deniability” you out of the equation.

It’s much easier to accept (with a bit of anger) that you made a mistake in your program that bring defaced due to your “judgement being clouded by anger”.

You may be smart enough to even understand what you have to do, but it will take practice to do it well even if you understand it conceptually.
It is far too early to conclude that Vietnam has contained "very well" and very possible that cases in a very poor country like Vietnam could be missed
That would solve the problem of losing DNS records. What do you do when you lose access to the domain name in the first place?

OP here.

> 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 changes a week ago involves adding and deleting TXT and A records only. Cloudflare manages the nameservers I use as my registrar and I never changed them from the default. I just confirmed all of that in the Cloudflare audit log.

> 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.

> moving all ~60 of my domains from Amazon Registrar + Google Cloud DNS to Cloudflare

You're very brave considering that Cloudflare doesn't even have U2F yet Google and Amazon do.
It is definitely a pot of honey now for intelligence agencies who are going to crack down on it to break it since everyone is moving to it now.
Had the same thing happen to me some years ago. Had a (not so important) domain with Gandi, which pointed to the Cloudflare nameservers, and after some time, the domain was gone from the CF dashboard together with all DNS entries. The NS records were still pointing to CF and there also weren't any anomalies with renewal of the domain.

I didn't give much thought to it, as I wasn't using CF for anything in production at the time, but sad to see that it also seems to happen to other people.
No, only 20% of cases.

The key difference is that not all infections turn into cases. A lot of people seem to get a lesser version of the disease, and may not feel symptoms beyond those of a bad cold -- these people never get diagnosed, and so don't factor into the 20% case severity ratio.
after they began to turn on their own customers i moved all my domains and closed my account. looks like i have not missed out much.

imagine if one day your bank decided to close your entire bank account without telling you...lol.

> legacy mode only cruft (which is not as much as you might think, but tends to be in the critical data path)

I'm curious about what you're thinking about here. In fact almost all the code paths for user mode code are running out of the uOp cache in modern devices and completely decoupled from the legacy stuff. And even in the kernel, doing locking and mode switching on the normal paths doesn't hit any major fallbacks. There's a ton of microcode and other legacy handling for odd stuff for sure, but really not on performance loads.

I stand corrected. How is it a moral panic to point out that there's a problem, in the case of the vape situation something with the chemicals used, and in the case of this virus the fact that it can kill and spread more efficiently than many other diseases? Should people not be alerted so they can take care of themselves? I don't understand the usage of "moral panic" in this way when people have been and can be hurt and killed when it could have been avoided if people just had more information.
I think it has its merit. It is a very _designed_ system which is definitely a side-effect of Stephen Wolfram's attention to it. But despite it being a bit of a singular vision, I do think that it presents a very complete idea of what a programming/computer interaction environment can be. For example it is like Lisp in that it is homoiconic and the whole interface, layout/formatting, the file format and everything builds upon this.

Yes, I understand that to be your point and I overall agree with it. However if all of those people tried to gain employment elsewhere there are side effects.

A friend of mine with a Ph.D. in math and a Master's degree in electrical engineering works in industry in data science. He once told me that he would not want to hire people with a Ph.D. to do non research. He said they just have a hard time fitting into an environment where most other people aren't as insightful/perceptive.

Can people with the minds/attitudes/skillset of adjuncts fit into the workplaces you mention? Even if they could would it be useful? What side effects happen to the less intelligent who also compete for such jobs.

Whatever the answers are to this it does nothing to obviate the need for better labor market regulation.
This (or something like it) makes a lot of sense to me. I've been at multiple organizations where there have been efforts to create these "data dictionaries" explaining the meaning of the data, especially when the schemas or APIs are not well designed.

But then manually writing documentation is obviously tedious and can typically only be written by the data team that knows the underlying data well, which is not always the best use of their time.

I'll definitely be following Syndetic and hope they can help crack this problem.
They’re also pretty close buddies with AMD right now, who they share a fab (TSMC) with. Could we be seeing something akin to an Apple-flavored Ryzen?
I think this is generally excellent advice - and for one reason beyond the obvious 'don't get crushed by massive debt'.

In many academic fields, there are many more new PhDs than there are available careers. Just think - in order to maintain a steady academic state each tenured professor needs to turn out only a couple of trained successors over their whole career. But it's common to have several at any given time, and generating dozens of potential academic replacements over the course of a career is not unusual.

Competition at the postdoc level is grim, and it gets even more brutal if you try to get on the tenure track. To succeed you normally have to be both excellent and lucky.

The competition for PhD funding is a first signal as to a prospective student's place in the career race. It's also a very cheap signal: you get it up front rather than investing several years of your life and then finding out you can't find a post, or falling into a cycle of underpaid and overstressed adjunct appointments resulting in burnout and resignation.

So if you can't get PhD funding, you should also be asking yourself 'am I well placed for five years time?' The answer isn't always 'no', but it should prompt some serious thought.
You write now that it makes perfect sense.

However, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22383816 you wrote "even if broken down to small peptides in the mass spec, ... then monoisotopic makes no sense".

It was that latter point that I contested, because the literature clearly indicates that for at least some small peptides it makes sense.

I don't understand your argument here. "You patch you pay" is not a market term on any bug bounty; people report sev:infos all the time that ultimately get patched, but aren't worth anything (this is why some bounty programs stock sticker and t-shirt SWAG, to placate these submissions).

Meanwhile: I don't care even a little bit how Paypal arrived at their "duplicate" response, because Paypal has no incentive to deny a bounty for a valid bug. Like I said above, they have the opposite incentive. Duplicates happen all the time. If Paypal --- or any other large company --- says it was a duplicate bug, it would take extraordinarily clear evidence for me to believe otherwise.

Some of these things are probably not true for fly-by-night companies that set up bounty programs (a lot of people run bounties that shouldn't). I'm not denying that there are random companies that do ruthlessly screw with bounty submitters; I don't know any of them, but I believe they exist. But the money Paypal spends on bounties, all put together, barely even qualifies as a rounding error. They do not care; nobody serious cares enough to squelch reports to avoid paying bounties.

The fact that this was reported as "six critical vulnerabilities" is enough for me to tilt the credibility scale in the other direction.

Indeed. Cutting off travel was the most effective way of stopping the spread outside of China.
Exceptions and Maybe types aren't mutually exclusive. They should be used together. Maybe types handle variability that is expected and predictable, like a dictionary not having a certain key; exceptions handle the unexpected situations, like a file handle being closed too early.

Maybes explicitly express what the programmer has foreseen, exceptions form a safety net over it. You need both in a wholesome language. That's wht even Haskell has exceptions.

Are there any open source status pages/monitor programs that have build-in checks for HTTPS, DNS records (ipv4/6), arbitrary port checks, etc?

This is going to get very very ugly, fast. Every person here owes it to themselves and their family to have supplies, properly secured shelter, and enough food for 60 days minimum. The media is not telling the truth just yet. The wealthy are still busy getting their affairs in order, so they're waiting before full panic sets in.

You have been warned, this is the one. I've been a prepper for 10 years, this is a doomsday scenario and I know it doesn't appear so just yet, but don't wait until the store shelves are completely wiped out.
No I did not put all my data into a single postgres, even if the TX/s would have scaled (they wouldn't have) the data volume would have exceeded the limits of what a single server can provide.

My solution was dependent on splitting the data into sub-categories; for the bulk of the data I was going to use idempotent sharding based on a unique key, I said I would have implemented it as a SHA1 of a userID modulus'd by 512, with 512 being the upper bound on the number of shards/machines, (or a multiple of that; at the scale I was given it would have worked).

I then went into detail about how much a single machine would need to ingest and my own experience with postgresql performance, I also spoke at length about what the maximum theoretical volume of data was for a single DC (however, that was "not important" the recruiter indicated I had a magic datacenter that did not have problems with cross-connecting many, many hundreds of GB/s in a mesh).

Frankly, I already build global solutions in my day job, sure they're not google scale, but they're built to order, quite cost effective and what's more important: they function very well and are engineered to the point where we know beyond reasonable doubt that they will perform as needed on day 1. (I work with always-online video games, the first day is the worst day, scalability wise)

Hmm... I think training a program to fool another program is a much, much, much, much easier problem than driving a car.

As an example, you only have to learn how to emulate a single 'human like' pattern to fool the ML, where you target function is a simple fool or not fool ML - once you achieved fooled you are done.

Whereas to drive a car you need to deal with all the infinite variation in inputs you might experience in driving a car, with complex target functions ie safety versus speed.

Ok let's say you make $300k/yr at a FAANG. Lose 40% to taxes and you're looking at $180k/yr.

Living in SV your expenses will roughly be at least $45k/yr.

So you save $135k/yr (180 - 45). That's great, but a far cry from being a millionaire in just a few years.

Of course as you get promoted your comp increases, hitting $500k gross at L5, but that takes more than a couple years to achieve.
My take on the article was that the combination of their tax data, the financial data from their prior acquisition of Mint , and with the tax+credit data that will come with this acquisition Intuit would have one of the highest quality financial profiles on most individuals. I am trying to think of any other financial entity that has such data and I am drawing a blank atm.

PS: I never used Credit Karma but had been considering it though I could never get past the 'if it is free, then you are the product'.
Actually for the case it was on SSD. Most of the access is to compressed columnar data. The main table had 500+ columns of ~140m rows but with very low entropy (e.g. gender, city/district). Each column had its own file. And queries were relatively simple. At 300MB/s (at the time) it was pretty fast. Data was mmap since as in most real life scenarios, the access to the columns had a power law distribution. Most queries could resolve with RAM data (~24GB/s at the time). Data size was over 10x the size of RAM (~128GB). IO is fast if you do mostly sequential access. Note server NVMe today is ~8x faster so the principle still applies.

The main thing here is the simplicity of the architecture and combining HyPer, careful mmap usage, and having SQLite engine do all the other non-critical work. So this way this system could be implemented on time by 1 main developer (rockstar dev, Marcelo) and a tiny little help from me.

I don't see how that helps. How do I recover from my registrar deleting/disabling my account even if DNS is somewhere else? I think there's still only one failure point and the lesson is that I need to pay that failure point more money.
