Nope. It looks a lot like what I get on Firefox/Windows.
Actually I think you're right, and in fact they've already done this for those of us who used Firefox Nightly on Android. I had both Nightly and Preview on my phone, and kept using Nightly precisely because it supported all my extensions (Cookie AutoDelete, Bypass Paywall etc). One morning I woke up to see that Nightly was "upgraded" to Preview, and my extensions (except uBlock) were disabled. From what I understood, it seems like the same is going to happen with the stable branch - first it'll be "upgraded" to Preview and only later Preview will get all extensions support.

Another bitter thing about this is that as much as the new Preview UI is slicker, it's actually browsing noticeably slower on my Google Pixel.
When it gets to that point I think people will just use medical gloves.

Non-disposable gloves aren’t great. They’ll soon become an infection vector.

When they're acting as a hosting medium, they're conduit. When they add features atop the content they host to curate and surface it or down-signal it, they're press.

The two functions seem to be acceptable within one organization.

Probably worth noting there's a hefty dose of practicality in the interpretations as they currently stand. Even this forum, without safe harbor protection, could be on the hook for user-provided content if someone linked to child pornography here, yet it seems most users here are in agreement that Hacker News shouldn't lose safe harbor protections because it has moderators and community-driven karma.

Sure, the line has to be drawn somewhere, but currently the line was drawn so that it denied testing a person who is already intubated for days with matching xrays - that's not the proper place to draw the line.
It's an unintended side effect of FDA regulation. This thread by the previous FDA commissioner explains it.[1]

The Xeon E3-1270's in my R210 II's are 80W TDP, the Xeon E5-2450L's I have loaded in my R320 and R420 are 70W - guess which makes more noise? The 2450L's, of course!

TDP is a guideline for cooling, it says nothing about noise, or even power draw. The former is a factor of the cooling system you have paired, the latter can be completely arbitrary as long as the chip can average itself out to the rated heat dissipation (which is what the TDP measures).

If you want a quiet home server, get a tower, my ThinkServer TD340 was hella quiet even with two Sandy Bridge-EN chips installed. Beyond that it doesn't really matter, hell, swap out the CPU cooler and case fans with Noctua ones to go the extra mile.

You either deal with it now or deal with it later once it unfolds and collapses one by one the things that make your day-to-day life feasible that you take for granted. Luckily, I'd say the people here in tech are more insulated from the impact of CV/CC due to the potential of remote work (can't remote into a job involving physical labor), so that gives them a fighting chance. But it's not a chance to hole up and pretend nothing bad is going on, but a chance to prepare and even make a difference.
Dont forget the problem of declaring people ilegal and pushing other population groups (drug addicts) with draconian measures into the underground, where they infect one another in horrible conditions, and make any quarantine impossible. If any measure should be take, then for the time of the epidemic, the ICE and similar agencys - should be frozzen or recommendered to the CDC, and a general amnesty for any illegal health related problem announced.Im certain that seems insane to some conservatives, but the other approach is self-sabotage on a titanic level.
You're also wrong in that these are not inherently conflicting things. A platform can moderate their content AS WELL AS have immunity from what their users post.

I spent 3 days setting up Hasura a few weeks ago and I wish I'd known about Nhost.

Do you know why Hasura don't provide a managed service themselves?

Also, I wonder if Hasura will eventually move to a MongoDB-like license.
The article covers quite a few issues with type=number, including some pretty bad accessibility ones. On balance I think even if inputmode doesn't have 100% support, those users will simply get a normal keyboard, which isn't so bad. Disclaimer - I work on the team.
>FDA regulates test kits but generally lab developed tests, which are designed and used in single lab, can be offered without FDA review. When HHS declares Public Health Emergency and issues declaration to support EUAs, labs must seek FDA authorization before launching new test.

Normally they can be done without approval, but there is a special regulation on the books that activates when the department of health and human services declares a public health emergency.

Can you clarify how ignoring things like Imperfect Produce helps? I'm open to it, but my impression was that Imperfect emerged simply because there was perfectly edible food being discarded because it looked off (anyone who has lived in an area anywhere near industrial agriculture already knew this due to experience with someone showing up at a soccer game with a bunch of fresh strawberries that looked weird but tasted better than anything at Safeway).
Is using the tap and soap of a public bathroom really reducing the chances of virus/bacteria infection? Or is it increasing them because the soap and tap carry viruses and bacteria themselfes?

You need both because severity and priority aren't necessarily set by the same people who have the same information. They're (of course) not completely orthogonal: generally there's a 1:1 map between severities and priorities. I think we're in violent agreement: severity is also a close proxy for how much I think you should care about something. (We don't assign severities to hardening tasks, since they're, well, hardening, not bugs--but there are plenty of hardening tasks that I think are more important than vulnerabilities and should be prioritized sooner. E.g. "unencrypted EBS volume" is a finding I will totally let you ignore, but I will also be on your case every day if you're not using aws-vault.)

So, to rephrase: you need both precisely because that's often the way you can even start having the prioritization conversation.
It’s a real concern. But keeping your distance, washing your hands, and not touching your face will nonetheless greatly reduce risk.

Maintaining a decent (though not extreme) amount of supplies at home will also help you avoid shopping at time of greatest spread.

I say “not extreme” as hoarding can cause problems on its own. Basically just forward your own purchases a couple weeks.

I have mixed feelings about TipTop. On one hand, I really like their modules, and when one of the buttons on my Circadian Rhythm sequencer died, they sent me another for just the cost of shipping.

On the other hand, I broke one of my TipTop modules by accidentally plugging the power in backwards (they should really add reverse power protection), and the identifiers on the chips are all scratched off, so I have no way of identifying the chip I fried in order to replace it. Mind you this is a module cloned from a Roland 909, so it's not even like this is an original design.
In 1990's I worked on the software for an automated NASBA amp. These were mostly sold into the market for HIV testing. They are a lot more productive than 25/day/tech. Is PCR the only way to test for this virus? Are patents standing between us and alternatives?

My understanding is that it’s based on a law from several decades ago, when it was difficult to get your hands on a sequencer, that was meant to help empower the CDC once some kind of pandemic was declared in order to get tests out faster. Now that sequencers are commonplace, the same law instead of speeding up the deployment of these tests now slows them down.
Lots, many of which have been mentioned, but there is one
whole category of app that didn't really make the leap to
Windows (or Mac OS X over in Apple-land) and is basically dead now:

Outliners -- http://outliners.scripting.com/

The seminal PC Outline was shareware and it's still out there:
https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/2200/0/pc-outl...

But it evolved into Grandview:
https://welcometosherwood.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/grandview...

As for the others... well, there were lots! Back in the boom days of MS-DOS (DOS 3.x, mainly, and before) it didn't include a decent text editor, directory navigator, file manager, memory manager, program launcher, task-switcher, inter-computer file-transfer tool, file or disk compression and lots of other things, so there were many 3rd party replacements.

Some still have fans.

DOS 4 started to fix some of that, including a pretty good file manager/program launcher called DOSShell, but otherwise it was bloated: it was buggy and took a lot of RAM, a scarce resource under DOS.

DR responded with DR-DOS 5, which was leaner, meaner, gave you more free RAM than even MS-DOS 3.3, but gave you big (>32MB) partitions, a graphical shell, a full-screen editor and lots more.

MS responded with MS-DOS 5, the first ever retail version, which included all this and more.

There was a brief "arms race" -- DR-DOS 6, then MS-DOS 6, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22, DR-DOS 7. I've blogged about this:
https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/58013.html

Then Windows 95 integrated DOS and that ended the battle.

DR-DOS got acquired by Novell, then spun off with Caldera, then went FOSS. I am working on some updates:
https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/58013.html

IBM continued with PC DOS 7 and the little-known PC DOS 7.1, which fixes a load of bugs, adds FAT32 support, LBA disk access, support for modern >8GB disks, and more. It's a free download if you know where to look:
https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/59703.html

These later versions of DOS -- DR-DOS 5, 6 & 7, MS-DOS 5 & 6, and PC-DOS 6, 7 & 7.1 -- included replacements for most of the 3rd party utilities. 32-bit Windows then made most of them irrelevant. A lot of the companies went under.

Most of the office-type apps made the jump to Windows: WordPerfect ended up a good word-processor. Borland's DOS apps got bundled with it. IBM bought Lotus, Samna and others and made SmartSuite.

There's no burning reason to favour the ancient DOS versions now.

But outliners never really made that leap and so there's now a choice of MS Word or run ancient DOS stuff. The FOSS world has never embraced outliners: LibreOffice doesn't include one. There are some FOSS 2-pane outliners -- what Wikipedia calls "extrinsic" outliners -- but they are a totally separate, different type of app, and personally I have no use for them.

So I run an ancient version of MS Word, Word 97, just for Outline mode. It runs perfectly under WINE on Ubuntu and other distros.
I'm from a non-Hubei Chinese province.

I won't go if I were you. Although the chances are small, but there are several cases in my home town, where people came back from Hubei province (where the outbreak initiated), without any symptoms, turned out to be carriers. One graduate student infected > 10 family members while maintaining normal body temporature, made local news right away.
> CVSS is a ouija metric without any real merit.

Tell that to the hard working folks that define the standard, I'm sure they'll appreciate it..

Like any such metric, CVSS is far from perfect, however, in the real world you are sometimes called upon to express things in a quantitative manner even if they are better expressed in a qualitative manner, for instance when you need to justify security spending in a corporate environment, or in the context of compliance reporting. Do you know of a better tool/standard?

> If companies are going to hype bugs, let it be for stuff like this!

That's a bit like crying wolf though, isn't it? It desensitises people to actual issues and takes focus and funds away from them. This kind of fear based marketing might be useful if your goal is to suck a naive client dry for a year or so, if you are actually trying to make the world a safer place it does more harm then good.
> Is offering a discount to someone having a go at them?

No it's the 'hey' and slightly accusatory sounding 'we know you have a working phone.'
I have a suspicion, and it sounds obvious when you state it, that there's a correlation between smoking and severity and both China and Iran are relatively heavy smokers.

I understand wanting to surveil prisoners but denying them access to the outside world completely is wrong and a waste of everyone’s time.

Maybe require only open source software and no crypto except for authentication but confiscating phones is stupid and lazy.
Hasura's authz is whatever authz you can derive from the data within your database or from the claims embedded in the authn token. If you have a table that contains the claims for each user, then you can reference that in the authz rule for any other table/view/function. READ notes if user.is_note_reader = true.

We're working on making it easy to integrate resource claims and rule engines that are external as well (make an IO call instead of embedding the rule in the SQL query itself). The good news is that it is possible to do at the Hasura layer because Hasura owns the RBAC so we'll get to it soon enough :)

Over the last few months, we've seen users flip from their custom GraphQL servers to using Hasura because of the reduction in code/maintenance that Hasura brings for their use-cases. Especially when you have a large number of tables. Being able to manage authorization rules at a "type" level instead of a "resolver" level also makes things convenient.

We've also started work on making it easy to integrate REST APIs for custom logic (esp writes) which also helps skip a bunch of GraphQL/authz boilerplate: https://blog.hasura.io/introducing-actions/
Most shells don't have great support for making even non-linear graphs of (anonymous) pipe connections (though note that wilder, even dynamic graphs are possible with the "coproc" builtin of e.g. ksh, zsh, or modern bash).

However, arbitrary graphs are possible with the system calls available -- just create all the pipes in the spawning process with pipe(), and after fork(), but before exec() move the right ends into the file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 with dup2().
Nobody is crying here except the people of China who are being further oppressed at a crucial time like this. Pretty sure you could post some counter-arguments instead of posting unsubstantive comments that take the argument nowhere.
It would get complicated in code if you're constructing your statement from bits and pieces, as the preprocessor would have no way of forming a complete syntax tree out of it, of course.

I'm picturing something closer to "emmet"[1], where you write some shorthand and this gets expanded to proper SQL in line. So our imaginary sql-script would never see the light of git, most of the time you'd use it through an IDE plugin or vim's "!" filter (although you could have it available as a function at runtime and actually save the simplified code).
Actual database access at this stage would be good, I wouldn't mind e.g. globbing column names or excluding some ("sel *-[{created,updated}_at]")...

But you're right, for something like psql this would make good sense, too. And after you've played arond with it, you can paste the proper SQL wherever you needed it, too.

Young adults (age 18 to 25) are the worst offenders of prescription abuse, the largest increase in opioid abuse has been in rural America, and men are 140% as likely to die from opioid abuse.

So you have classified the greatest threat as female, suburban, and adult, but the statistics seem to indicate male, rural, and young adult. You are in danger of being pen tested.

EFF's word is not god. I like them, but you make it sound like it's a settled debate. I'm here to say there's another side and present that viewpoint.

As you many imagine, I agree with Sen. Cruz's line of question from the article you linked. And I don't think EFF's solution is viable. They suggest that Facebook should make their policies more transparent and give users more control over what they see.

But this misses the entire point. Facebook/YouTube/etc are in a monopoly position. They've proven that they are nakedly partisan, and they have no intention of acting in good faith.

Platforms should not be allowed to discriminate on any viewpoint or legal content. They can still provide tools for advertisers to choose what content their ads appear next to. And they can still provide tools for users to choose what they see.

But discriminating on some viewpoints and not others is anathema to a public forum. And you can read Section 230 that way.
Price fixing by the government will only make things worse.

The US creates the majority of new drugs in the world and countries that have universal healthcare wait for it to be tested and released, create a generic for a fraction of the cost (without spending the millions and sometimes billions), and they get to enjoy the benefits.

Without our free market system, more people will die over time because we will have less innovative and new drugs on the market.

We need to make it easier for drug companies to get new drugs to market without cutting corners and allow the free market to push the costs down.
I think this is a really poor-faith response and doesn’t contribute anyone positive to the conversation.
Indeed, overloaded medical system = high mortality.

To give a concrete example: recently there was a video report in Chinese state TV showing a heroic tag-team (doctors+nurses) doing 6 intubations per hour. Note: intubation is practically the last stage before you end up in a body bag.

That's a crazy number of intubations/hour for a single team. In such circumstances, you're guaranteed to get less-than-perfect recovery rate due to cross-infection.

Slow rate of infection is key to low mortality.
You can’t scare them. They have lived their entire lives with ubiquitous digital surveillance. They are better equipped to deal with it than you or me because they have been breathing it since birth. It’s not novel. It’s not emerging. There wasn’t a time before Google. Before the gwot. Before cookies. Before credit scores.

A fifteen year old has been hearing adults prattle on about this stuff since the day they started school. That’s 2010. That’s Chrome. And Facebook. It’s mature as tech backed by billion$.

The ones out of touch are those of us imagining there are still horses in the barn. Or to put it another way, it’s a room full of smart people and everyone should take that seriously. This I learned from talking to my teen. Instead of at them.
Then reduce available inventory. No one is forcing you to sell things you don't want. This is a fake argument.
Just what we need is to get politicians involved in this.

One benefit thought would be they could more easily block access to sites they don't want folks visiting by just denying a CA cert (which would then generate warnings / blocking in many browsers).
I wonder sometimes about the future of the human species. I can't find an apparent reason for it other than cost and even that should not be an issue in this case. Ignorance is bliss and no one wants to cause panic?
