An adversary can only be deterred by what they know.

Publicizing stockpiled healthcare supplies informs adversaries that a chemical or biological attack would be less successful, reducing such an attack's likelihood.
Take this with a _huge_ grain of salt, but this article neglects to discuss the role of the Shincheonji followers - who have an interesting view on diseases and illness - in potentially spreading this disease.

I think the politics of billionaires attempting to take control of the engines of discourse is quite relevant, especially given the current political landscape where no less than two of them are dumping an enormous amount of their own money to attempt a brokered DNC convention and push out a progressive candidate.
My problem with induction burners is half the cookware I own doesn't work on them. Turns out, even a lot of stainless steel pots and pans have aluminum bottoms. I also don't like the way the heat changes instantly, or near instantly. It changes the 'feel' of cooking. I don't really know how else to word it. I notice it most when bringing things down to a simmer. The pan cools down instantly instead of slowly cooling so I end up slowly lowering the temperature instead of just dropping it down.

They sure are great for boiling water though and I do find they work really well with cast iron pots and pans.
What do you mean by stability in this context?
I mean, we're humans. Not machines. Welcome to the grand experiment - buckle up for the ride!
Sadly, if have to agree on the Bernie example. Luckily, it gets hilarious enough to be very obvious.
The headline here is quite misleading. This seat is intended to compete with premium economy seats, not with economy.

These seats produce the same cabin density at today's premium economy, while trying to offer a business-class-lite experience.

Airlines might buy these, because if they can differentiate premium economy a bit more from regular economy, they might be able to sell more of it.

Most airlines are installing only 25-30 seats in their premium economy classes, even on big birds like 777-300. If this makes the class more appealing, they may be able to install 40 seats or more instead.

The fact that they are stacked, and that they don't lie flat, will keep them sufficiently distinct from true business class not to cannibalize business class sales.

But, these seats won't leave room for overhead lockers. The seats have an amount of small-item storage that will feel extremely generous in Premium Economy, but without the lockers, there's no storage for bigger bags.

This is also not an unsolvable problem, but airlines are exceptionally risk-averse and change-averse, so it'll take some real convincing.

And then there's the accessibility and safety issues with the ladders to resolve and the question of how people will feel about the low ceiling clearance (will it feel premium? especially to people who aren't regular travelers)

I do hope some airline tries it. There is a ton of room to make air travel different, but airlines are all very fearful, staid entities. For the most part, airlines consider themselves bold if they buy the same Recaro seat as every other airline, but in unique color or fabric combination.
But where is it moved to? Who owns it now? Or is it just lost?
Yes I agree about it being a terrible business decision. But not everything should be about money. Micro-targeting political ads is terrible for democracy
Wow. You went off the cliff. Paring racial discrimination with a difference of views is asinine. And yes, you can choose to serve anyone individual, you cannot globally discriminate. Get the difference?
There are parallel AES ops on new CPUs too though. Not sure if that figure is already using those.
I keep hearing rumblings about test kits not being where they need to be, but nothing in the news. It would be so hard to make a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 when the chief complaints are "Fever, cough, shortness of breath". Is that the common cold or is this SARS-CoV-2? Giving a massive diagnosis like and being wrong is bad.

All of the examples I have seen, when have a response by Twitter associated with them, is that Twitter follows a 3 strikes and you're out rule - and they apply these rules to everyone. If there are a few examples where this isn't followed then okay, there were mistakes, problems - but that is then at a government level that needs some judiciary process for.

Re: 'so many examples of people getting banned for "wrong think"'- have your sources been confirmed/provided confirmation by Twitter that's that what it was - and

Moderation (parenting) is a very important and effort full work that is required to prevent a wild west of society. A wild west of society is more costly and leads to far more suffering than a managed home; if you want to raise children that are racist within your own home, or who where you find it acceptable for them threaten to kill others, you're allowed to - however forcing ALL platforms to allow all behaviour is insanity, and so Twitter needs to be allowed to have the rules they want to allow - and people can "vote" by using that service or not, and then other platforms can have their own rules - and that government as a whole will have to decide what those bounds are; perhaps should government provide a free speech platform like exist public parks as an option that everyone has available to them.
I agree. If you only have two significant digits to work with, pretending to have more precision is a different kind of dishonesty.
I don't want to limit the news and what we discuss here to news outlets funded by advertisements and charity. I also want professional outlets that produce content that at least some people consider worth paying for.
Full induction stove tops typically require higher amp line. I'm sure hotels don't put in special cabling just for that, and imagine the same with lots or rental place.

As other posters, my experience with mid quality fill induction tops is that they don't scratch (had the same one for over a decade).

Needing special cookware was the one thing that made us hesitate between gas and induction when we re-did our kitchen, but we let milk overbook one morning on an electrical coil stove and the decision was made to go with induction while we spend an hour cleaning that stove!
Google's attempt didn't simply fail because of network effects, though, it failed because people didn't like it. It wasn't very similar to Facebook at all.
Easier said than done :)
I wonder how those mistakes were caught - I guess it is hard for them to track since they seem to rely on news reports.

If it is usually some audit firm, seems like it is working somewhat as intended, at least in the business related ones. - in other cases like research it might be important enough to hire an audit firm to verify your spreadsheet model/data provenance.

Yes, I'm also personally very likely to tear it apart and see if I can replace any failed electrolytics, but that's only applicable to 0.5% of the population or less. I'm doing that as the least hassle way to get a working TV again (less research, less driving, no changing the TV mount, etc).

99.5+% of people are better off economically and time-wise to throw away any out-of-warranty TV undiagnosed and buy new.
Cheers. Markets are made for different points of views. It takes two to make a market.
Doesn't whether or not Trump gets banned depend only on what Trump says and not whether or not Obama was banned?

Also: Trump isn't banned on Twitter.
>speaking of batteries: batteries are built-in—remember how advertisements always had to say “no batteries included”?—so no more mad scrambles at Christmas for AA or AAA batteries to power all the presents

I don't like this trend at all. I've thrown out so many perfectly good products because the bespoke built in battery couldn't keep a charge anymore.

With good ol' rechargable AA/AAA batteries, you typically get a way higher capacity than the cheap built-in batteries in small electronics, and the product lifespan is years longer.
Doctors give out the "unknown virus" diagnosis literally all the time. It's extremely common.
Do you understand the implications of manipulative ads, including those that lie about others, perpetuating hate and distrust of others?
A well mixed cesspool? No one with any sense wants to hang out in a cesspool. That's the problem. You are expecting human behavior to change. And worse, on the internet none the less.
Just because masks are not 100% effective doesn’t mean they’re not effective at all. The Surgeon General also dismissed masks and is spreading misinformation.
I never claimed all masks don't work, I was talking about cheap paper masks. It might not have been clear enough in the original comment.

Apparently some kits were recalled because they were flawed and there is a shortage as a result. So it is somewhat understandable that the CDC doesn't want to test just anyone with flu like symptoms.

As you conclude , neither was banned. As such no conclusions can be drawn about the biases or lack of it at Twitter based on that evidence. Not sure why you then go on to do so.

Assuming arguments will be uniformly picked an extra check would speed things up on many architectures:

return (x & 0xFE0000001 == 0) &&
(x == 6 || x == 28 || x == 496 || x == 8128 || x == 33550336):

The original code does about 5 comparisons in each call. The improvement always does a binary ‘and’ and 1 comparison, and only does the original 5 in 1/256 of the calls.
Also from the article you linked:

"But the real question behind the question is, are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? And we are not. Period," he added.

Dorsey went on to insist that his company only polices behavior on the platform, not content.

Is having a personal political opinion only illegal if it is left-leaning?
Is it a "slide backwards"? It seems more like search is intentionally worse, because they're optimising for profit and not for "people being satisfied by search" -- having to spend 5 times as long on Google means more time seeing adverts.

So it's a reversion, but the company itself appear to be driving it.
Yes, its amazing what difference actually testing people versus telling nurses to sent patients home makes.
They don't post anything about the costs, but that would likely be the defining vector in this whole situation.

I mean, let's face it — noone's going to go get tested if it means you'll have to pay 5k+ out of pocket for the experience (even if it's a negative test and you require no further treatment), plus would have to be fired from your job for missing work and doing a self-quarantine for 2 weeks (if it's positive yet mild enough to not require hospitalisation), plus be evicted from your apartment for failing to pay rent due to the loss of the income (possibly having to cut the self-quarantine short in the first place due to any such pending evictions or the prospect thereof).

For this whole thing to work, testing has to be free, workers have to have protections, housing has to be affordable and plentiful, and Andrew Yang's UBI (Universal Basic Income) suddenly sounds like it might be a pretty good idea, after all.

He even deposed a democratic government. He was a big Macri supporter, and several 'ongs' supported by him where presided by members of his government (for example, Laura Alonso). If this guy gets Twitter control it will make Twitter complete trash.
Color me shocked that an article that's supposed to be about some topic manages to find a way to convert itself into another "Trump Bad" story halfway through.

Deregulation was a mistake. It turns out that flight paths are a scarce resource, and race to the bottom results in planes that are miserable to fly in. Reregulate the prices, add a carbon tax, and bring back in flight meals.
They’re trick questions, so I think it’s fair to be pedantic. It’s asking for fastest method not the one with least complexity. I would argue the fastest method would be to pick a random location in memory and get lucky.
The Surgeon General dismissed medical masks, which are useless against this virus, they were not talking about masks that are sealed to your face and actually filter germs. Your post itself is misinformation.

Aerosolization of coronavirus seems to be mostly limited to hospital operations such as intubation?

Anyhow, here in Hong Kong the virus has been, kind of, contained. Mask wearing, along with hand washing and other measures, have been adopted by the majority population.

One of the problems with the Wuhan virus is that there are quite a few asymptomatic cases, and AFAIK at least one preprint study has confirmed that these hosts can transmit the virus to others, making mask wearing for "healthy" people an even more desirable measure in preventing the virus from spreading.

I don't know if that was said, but it certainly is not the case with current twitter.

>which, for better or worse, depending on context and things, “kill all white men” would pass the fee speech test.

In which case "KILL ALL BLACK MEN" would pass too. One is allowed, the other is not.

>On the other hand I’ve seen tons and tons of sexist, misogynistic, white supremacist tweets that are super prominent on the platform.

I hear that often, but I never see any support for it. When pressed on it, what I get as "proof" is completely mundane posts that only extreme leftists would classify as any of those things.

Is there a better way to track your readings? I've been long dissatisfied with Chrome History. It is almost impossible to find articles I read. They get buried under the jargon of random urls such as Facebook. So I built this Chrome extension.

Inspired by Fitbit for reading, I first shared this project with Hackernews 10 months ago purely as an analytics tool. The challenge has been properly identifying what constitutes articles and parsing content properly for accurate categorizations. Since then, I've been exploring what type of useful information that can be built on top. Its article recommendations became ready for tryout so I wanted to share this (https://kaffae.com) again.

Recommendation features include an algorithm that caters to longer time-insensitive content, and an ability to walk through related articles directly from the browser page you're on.

Tracking/Analytics features are to understand how much you read in a given week, both the number of articles and time spent reading, automatic tagging of your articles into 81 categories, categorize your articles by publishers, sentiment analysis (negative vs positive) of the content you consume, and a goal settings for a gamified reading.

Who is it for?

You read about 10-80 articles per week. You read on a laptop (obviously). And this tool may be great for those who pay for publishers and want to check how much of their contents you consume.

Future possibility includes podcast recommendations based on your article readings and/or reviews of articles/publications especially of long-form ones.

Tell me what you guys think!

A surprisingly high number of people I know and work with have degrees completely unrelated to the field they are in. Of course this is purely anecdotal, but it is something that comes up often in discussions. OTOH their degrees did help them get the jobs that launched their differently-oriented careers, and I haven't heard that the degrees they got held them back in any particular way.

Everything else comes through experience. You end up learning the trade one way or another.
After reading the title I was really looking forward to some musical discussions on HN... :)
The CDC has undoubtedly pushed massive amounts of funds into test kits...but that has to be manufactured. It doesn't just appear instantly and out of thin air. Then you have to distribute it to clinics/ERs. Testing will gradually expand, and the requirements for testing will be loosened once supply can finally meet demand.

Neat, that's definitely new and good to hear about. I'm eventually going to upgrade my 1950x and the rest of the system so getting to 3000 would make a huge difference already. I've managed to get my sticks to 2333 but they then report about 3 errors a week, and about 20 a day at 2666. The performance gains from that aren't enough to leave it like that and feel good about it to me.
With the elections coming up, the President being more present on Twitter than in Real Life and Twitters new aversion towards political ads, it's quite natural to mention his investment into one of the sides just like his position on what Twitter has been doing on the political spiel.

The article had specific criticisms about the actions of a new administration. Do you have any specific issues with those criticisms or do you think administrations should be immune from criticism? Every new admin has it's own priorities.
Their power comes from a combination of (1) the shares they own, (2) their balance sheet which allows them to outspend (litigation, buying more shares, buying bonds) anyone if they choose to do so, (3) their reputation as money-makers and being absolutely relentless in activist situations, and (4) the fact that generally they have a high batting average in these situations - in other words, they are often right about the need for change whether you think they're jerks or not. These guys pick their spots pretty carefully and they're good at what they do...the level of diligence they do would shock you.

I've been saying for a while that Twitter is one of the most no-brainer activist targets out there to the point where it's almost a layup. Executive compensation is outrageous, the CEO treats it as a hobby, lots of executive turnover, results have been mostly disappointing, R&D is inexplicable ($700 million to turn the star into a heart), a stock that's done essentially nothing since coming public years ago, and they really have no defenses (eg dual share class). And that's all before we even get to whether the company could benefit by dropping its brazenly liberal bias in how it polices content. I've been joking that Rupert Murdoch should buy it :)
Could you detail what comparisons you think are unfair?

As for sources, if you look in the thread I respond citing WHO, NEJM, KCDC, etc as evidence for my assertions/assumptions.
> And it's absolutely no surprise that an activist would push on Twitter; its CEO isn't even full-time.

For those to young enough to remember (you do) there are so many things that happen in this day and age in public companies that would never fly years ago. Part time CEO and for that matter Dorsey's planned move to Africa means he can't be fully focused on what is right for twitter. Which has been the case for some time.

I remember when Obama took office and in the first few weeks he found it necessary to go to a meeting at his kid's school. I can think of many ways political spin wise why he might have done that (people mumbled something about setting a good example for other fathers iirc) but honestly the angle seemed to be 'important that I know what is going on with my kids'. As if his wife Michelle wasn't good to drive that event. Or that somehow the kids of a President need to be hovered over at all lest at that age.
