Did you read the article you linked? He inferred that the media coverage is fearmongering and an attempt to hurt him. He specifically used the word hoax. He didn't call the virus a hoax, he called the coverage and criticism of the US's handling and response to the outbreak a hoax.

From the page you linked:
"During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu."

A transcript of his exact words at the rally:
"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax."

Don't have kids, so pinch of salt this - but my dad used to make "golf ball runs" for us when we were kids. Essentially long, elaborately set up contraptions that you put a golf ball at the top and it rolls all the way to the bottom, dropping through pipes and rolling down boards.

I'm 40 this year, I still remember this vividly. I guess marbles would be too edible (ha), we always did this outside (fresh air), we were building things, and I just remember it being magical watching the ball _finally_ go down. And then two balls, and then three...

I'll second Duplo - that was my precursor to Lego, which was my entertainment for YEARS (before I found computers, anyway).
ugh what's up with writing an article about a book without saying the name of the book? It's The Singer of Tales

Also how do you write this article without using the word 'epithet'? The whole book is about epithets

Best modern oral work using epithets is Brad Neely's wizard people (listen to it without the video, the video only detracts)
> Are there political reasons involved?

GCC is more spaghetti than Clang, less modular. But yeah, it's mostly political/business/legal related. A lot of people hate copyleft with a passion like Apple and Google, who hire lots of people to work on LLVM.

The idea seems to be that LLVM will eventually catch up to GCC on quality of generated code.
> Software engineers are uniquely qualified to analyze supply chains and supply chain problems.

Care to substantiate it? Why? At the very least businesspeople should be more qualified because that's what they deal with? Just because software engineers have to think for a living and do some math sometimes doesn't mean they are experts in every field where that is used...

I agree, I'm of the opinion that advertisements are one of the more evil and damaging aspects of society right now. Our attention and thoughts are bought for almost nothing, and we are expected to accept it. We don't get a choice to ignore it either (except with ad-blocking software).

You will need to develop your own system. However, many miss the basics of taking notes.

Noting isn't ONLY about copying info from the class. You should note everything that comes to your mind.

For example:

* You have a question. Note it, so you will figure out the answer later.

* You have an idea or infer something from what the teacher says. Note it.

* You have a task. Maybe you should go check this book at the library. Note it.

Now the most important part of note taking is actually reviewing your notes. This helps you retain what you learned and follow up with questions and action items.
What does anyone expect a Fed interest rate cut to do to spur people to go back to business as usual? The city of Austin is about to cancel SXSW. Do people think they might change their mind now that the Fed has cut borrowing rates?

No. People are reacting to this virus by actively choosing to avoid conferences, travel, restaurants, movies, shops, and sporting events. They aren’t doing it because they’ve run out of money or are trying to save. They’re doing it because they don’t want to get sick. The Fed can’t will people back out into normal life by cutting interest rates.

And that’s why the market is basically flat today after this announcement. The market has nearly universally reacted to this rate cut with ambivalence.
Imagine facing a global pandemic, and your first concern is how to profit from it.

"Anecdata"

Today's rush to simplified, web interfaces means typically that common keyboard scenarios have been completely forgotten about. A market leader in a niche sector, re-built their UI in Electron, it's primary purpose is to selectively migrate items from one technology to another.

While it does provide a treeview hierarchical structure, with a checkbox next to each item, selecting that via say "spacebar" or selecting multiple items using CTRL+SHIFT does not function. As well, it's non-native scrollbar does not accurately reflect your position and does not allow finely-grained re-positioning.

This is $5,000/seat software that has glowing reviews and has essentially captured the market for what it does - yes a small market, with approximately 6-8 competitors - almost all of whom have copied their user-interface and even Electron implementation.

...for those with working memory deficits, yes.

If you need to be able to engage in the meeting, trying to transcribe it isn't much of an option, while taking paper notes remains so, and still provides as much or more benefit.

>That's a big security risk on an embedded system - both from an IP protection point of view

If a company is interested in "protecting their IP" by closing the source then it's questionable why they would have even wanted to use GPLv2 software at all. The OEM's IP situation is also not related to the security of the customer. Maybe it matters to the security of the OEM, but that's different.

>and also from a botnet/pwning point of view

Complying with the GPLv3 doesn't mean the device becomes vulnerable to botnets. All it means is that the customer who purchased the device has to get access to the hardware keys. For their own device. That they purchased.
> I know VPs that read HN.

This is akin to confirmation bias. Most VPs don't have time to read HN. (OTOH, people that are looking for a VP job probably do have time lol)
Come on man, did you even read the paper?

There is good work in there for sure, but they studied HFSC's which are a completely distinct from ovarian cancer or the lung cancer study mentioned in the article. They mention a few caveats right in the discussion. To somehow act like this single investigation debunks any and all relationship between blood glucose and tumorigenesis and progression is reckless.

Obviously it's not going to cure cancer. Nothing available today cures ovarian cancer once you are in a recurrent setting, all you can hope for is to stay ahead of it while medicine progresses. This weird boner for monotherapies in cancer treatment seems to distract everyone from developing a broader spectrum approach that attacks the disease on as many fronts as possible.
>as a "lack of luxury" is kind of weird.

I did no such thing.

In fact, I am unable to even contribute enough to meet my full employer match (like most of the people in my office).

I said I don't have the luxury of investing meaningful amounts of money into potentially risky stocks/funds that only invest in renewable energies instead of broad market/whole market index funds that also include fossil fuel driven companies.
As far as tax-sheltered, it looks like 59-65% of Americans have access to a 401k [1], something like 3 million teachers will have access to a 403b, and those that don't have access to either are almost certainly eligible for an IRA.

PPE like Mom and Dad (should!) wear is a great thing to bring a little one into the activity: it's educational for them to observe, and good habit-forming to wear the appropriate safety glasses, earmuffs, or bike helmet, gloves, or whatever is appropriate.

Do let them help you with the hammer, wrench, screwdriver etc. even if the job takes 10x as long as it could. Be careful they don't get too proficient before they learn discipline and their limits, or they'll have your washing machine in parts when you turn your back...

But essentially everything that's not inherently social, literary, or artistic is a STEM project for a 3 year old.
It takes years for a tree to grow and decades, possibly hundreds of years for a tree to decompose in its entirety through natural processes (that is, after possibly decades of life).

It is a viable solution.

Edit: if anyone disagrees look up about the Carboniferous period
Also - and this is critical - the more it can be slowed down, the less likely it is that the health system gets overloaded, which would lead to more deaths than if the exact same quantity of people become sick over a more drawn out period of time.
This is the point of the Fed being independent - so that they can ignore Trump's tweets and do what they think the economy actually needs.

Now, they have recently done basically what Trump asks. Are they succumbing to Trump's pressure, or is Trump asking them to do what actually is the right thing?
I hate to say I'm 'bullish' about a situation where people will die, but the fact that 80% of cases are mild or asymptomatic bodes well for the working economy. conferences, travel, and tourism will take a huge hit, but I don't see other industries being significantly hurt.

if this was more like SARS with a 10% IFR, with equally high mortality rates among young people, then I would be very worried. But this virus seems to be the opposite. most factory workers fit in that cohort of people in that the virus effects the least so I don't see supply chains suffering.
People would then have to use them. The hand sanitizers you see all over PAX do not get a lot of traffic.

Nerds be gross, my dude.
In fact for the vast majority of FreeBSD users (those on i386 or amd64), this happened years ago. Old GCC was kept in the tree for some Tier-2/Tier-3 archs (like MIPS), and is now removed because it's no longer used for those.
I first just jot them down on the Mac's Notes app. This bit isn't that important. You just write whatever you are taking notes of, no particular structure. The next bit is important though.

Within __30 minutes__ since the end of the lecture, I go over the notes and organize them. Note the 30 minute limit! If you try to organize the notes the next day, you won't be able to remember the lecture and not be able to fill in the missing details.
That's what I'm doing as well. I assume if climeworks is successful then there will be others interested in the space as well.

> features don't justify complexity

Such a good line. I've seen companies killed by hard-to-follow arguments advocating for technical complexity which serves feature goals which serve business goals.

'Good strategy is simple' from some strategy book is sometimes right; arguments that hold business goals hostage to technical complexity are trouble.
It's insufficient - there's a cap on how much carbon we can stop emitting, and maxing that out will not be enough to halt climate change. Agreed though, in the sense that we should fully fund the cheap options while also funding research on going carbon negative.
Should have gone with a Toto Washlet with water warmer. Cold water sounds like a bad idea for this purpose.
Indeed, an additional benefit of specifically using metformin to help address both.

But guess what, nobody will bite. I had to go to some weird third party service to get a prescription and spend weeks going back and forth with oncology and endocrinology to get anyone to comment on it. Oncology said NFW with zero rationale and endo said a small starter dose with regular monitoring for lactic acidosis due to compromised liver function.

> - Magnatiles. There are a lot of manufacturers out there, some brand name, some not. The good thing is that at this point they have all standardized on the tile sizes, so they are usually compatible.

Seconded. My kids are extremely hard on toys (and everything else... house, clothes. Ugh) and Magna-Tiles brand magnatiles have been heavily played with by all three over ~4-5 years so far (since we bought the first set), with only a couple tiles broken. We've bought a total of three fairly big sets at probably $200-250ish total spent so far (I think we're finally done buying them, they can build some huge shit with how many they have now) but it's some of the best money we've spent on toys. I don't know how the cheaper knockoffs are but the name brand ones are good value, even at the price.

Actzero.ai | Seattle, WA | Senior Software Engineer | https://actzero.ai/careers/ | ONSITE | Full-Time

The economics of cyber crime have changed. Big business has raised the barrier to exploit just enough to make medium and small businesses a viable target. This in turn has created a burgeoning industry around threat detection/hunting, BUT threat hunting is a very labor intensive job. Our value proposition is acquiring successful companies in this space and utilizing machine learning to exponentially increase their efficiency.

We are looking to hire a senior software engineer who can hit the ground running, tackle ambiguity, and mentor junior engineers in the process. These traits are of greater value to us than any particular language or technology experience.

This is about 1.2% annual growth fro 2010 to 2018.

Over that time, the population has also shrunk from 128 million to 126.3 million [1], so the per capita isn't as relevant. Japan's total GDP has pretty stagnant since 1995 [2].

I think this is one of the more interesting questions we get the chance to observe as things play out.

China's government is more technocratic, more pragmatic, and also more authoritarian than the US. All of those are very useful characteristics when dealing with a pandemic.

So I would expect the Western approach to result in exponentially faster infection rates, and significantly more resource shortages hindering the "on the ground" response.

I would expect that baseline levels of wellness, demographics, and tangentially related factors like climate will have a larger impact on the outcome than governance, so the US might get lucky in one or more of these areas.
Declarative coding tools are to blame here.

This is a well written article, but the metaphor is a little stretched.

Marketo and Salesforce are the "ship builders". Marketers are the crew operating the ship.

The declarative tools in enterprise apps provide Marketers with conditional branch and execution capabilities without code structure, so the average Marketer just keeps adding layers of complexity. Whereas a Developer would continually refactor and make old code obsolete.

The crew operating actual ships do not have anywhere near this level of access to the ships configuration, hence more reliability in the system.

Maybe the issue is that conferences aren't assigned any penalty for helping spread a virus, which misaligns incentives? Then again, it could be something that's hard to get right, where any reasonable assignment of liability would make it impossible to hold a conference -- I don't know.

Edit: To clarify, I'm just suggesting a possible cause for misaligned incentives; I also added that holding them liable isn't necessarily a good solution either.
Interesting. I wonder if there's a corollary: "you will ship your org, so be careful how you structure your org."
Sure, I'm defending starting with less than $1,000, not doing so on Robinhood specifically. Your suggestions are good, I use Schwab and Vanguard myself.

I wouldn't advocate anyone trying to build wealth to pick individual stocks, but I do think if someone were investing $1,000 to get their feet wet I'd recommend they put a bit in individual stocks. The financial system is complex and I think it's worth stripping away one level of the complexity for educational purposes. (It's typically also a humbling experience.)
Thanks. I’d quibble about the design word... the design is ok; it’s the wording that is lacking. Or some clear thinking. I mean for all the effort they are spending on this, it would take like one paragraph or less to clear things up. It could be fixed with five minutes of effort.
oh my. This looks like half research paper, not a design guideline :p
Depends on the window manager you are using.

If you are coming from i3 the move to sway is a no-brainer and works great (sway is wayland only). Firefox, thunderbird, Libreoffice all work great and look great, i.e. sharp when you need scaling for example. Sway is to thank for base work they did for other distros like a wayland clipboard protocol all the others are using.

Second comes Gnome. No issues. Gnome laid the gruntwork of porting gtk3 to wayland which works great.

Third maybe KDE. Still two years to come. KDE plasma is suffering from arguably better design decisions like client side decorations vs. Gnome serverside decorations but as many users use GTK based apps those GTK apps do not yet play nicely with the KDE design decisions. As such the brave KDE folks have to implement things themselves while those relying on GTK are done. QT is fine with wayland but not everything is QT.

That's all only true if you are not using NVidia hardware.

It will vary from manager to manager depending on their level and the individual personality, but just remember the golden rule that generally speaking all middle management is looking to either advance their position in the company or at least better their standing within it. With that in mind it makes life much easier because now you just have to communicate your product to that end.

Find out the goals of the managers' bosses, and prepare a small brief of empirical evidence that explains that you understand what their bosses want and how your product can help meet those needs. If you are skillful enough, you should try to communicate this in a way so that you only provide just enough info and indirect hinting that they arrive at the conclusion on their own rather than you giving them a conclusion. Remember the second golden rule that humans are fundamentally emotional. If you provide all the answers for them and they dont know you or trust you, they're more likely to just dismiss it all regardless.
The case against smart baby tech
If I've calculated correctly, this service costs $1100 per ton. A flight from New York to London emits about 1 ton of co2.

The site talks about averages, but averages can be deceiving. Most people don't fly, and those that fly fly a lot. If you fly, you should probably try to overshot the average (by a lot) when you offset.
Fair enough, but the screenshot that one client posted definitely shows their links generating dates for 3/3 on 3/2. That's highly suspicious in of itself. Also, the fact that their website previously said they had identified the cause and now it doesn't is also suspicious to me. I'm not a client so I don't care either way. I'm just saying I don't inherently believe a word RH says when they have so much to lose.
That battery life seems impressive. I have an earlier XPS 13 and my battery life is far far lower than that.
