> It’s a little weird for a mutual-fund or hedge-fund manager to have a lot of uninvested assets (why are you charging fees on a big cash position?), while it’s perfectly normal for private-equity managers to invest a bit of their fund at a time and call capital later as it is needed.

So how much of a bias is there in behavior is there in practice and rhetoric against cutting your losses, pulling out, and waiting for things to be less volatile/risky-seeming?
We’ve been using this project for a little over ten years as our first attempt to implement MFA across a number of systems.

At the time (ten years ago!) there was concern about trusting cloud providers, so we had pressure to implement it on-prem. Additionally the cloud offering at the time only validated the OTP, but all user to token tracking was left up to the individual system, so we ended up customizing it quite heavily to allow us to automate token provisioning and track user to token mappings, and provide a RADIUS front end so we could tie in other systems.

We’re finally looking to retire it, but it’s had a good long life.

There are population differences that matter for medical purposes. That some of them overlap with some definitions of race is more of a "broken clock is right twice a day" happenstance.

While the point of probability of staying low holds, I don't think there is a tight coupling with the energy consumption. Surely, nature (business ecosystem) will find a way for growth driver even without energy density increase.

Not specifically. HMOs are more bringing in the services together with the insurance function - larger pools than many small business plans may be a side effect. But "regular" insurance should also be able to create larger pools - indeed some states specifically form small business health insurance pools to help make that community get better healthcare plans.

N95 masks are utterly wasted on sick people. They prevent stuff coming in, not stuff going out.

The training needed to use the mask properly is basically ‘make sure it closes properly’ and ‘don’t touch the fucking thing unless you wash your hands afterwards’.

Seems fairly doable for the general population.
"State of your heart" is itself a misleading phrase, implying good vs. bad or benevolent vs. malevolent when the operative distinction is intentional vs. unintentional. See how easy it is to misrepresent without meaning to? That distinction is well established in law, and most definitely does matter if people are calling for things to be censored.
The expected long-term return may still be lower than the historic average. However stocks are now significantly cheaper than now than they were in the beginning of Feb so it follows that yes, the expected long-term return from investing $1 is higher than it was in Feb.

Warby Parker's frame selection is limited though. They mostly only have large, heavy plastic frames, and the few wire frames they have are still huge. None of their frames suit my preferences or my prescription.

I prefer smaller, traditional wire frames because that's what I've always worn (and at this stage in life that's unlikely to change). Unfortunately, wire frames seem to be out of fashion and no-one seems to have a good selection.

Furthermore, I have a fairly strong prescription and with my current frames, the lenses are about 8 mm thick at the edges, and my frames are the smallest I could find. The larger the frame, the thicker the lenses end up being. I could go with a higher-index lens material, but then chromatic aberrations become way too distracting, and I'd rather have a thicker lens than deal with that again.

P.S. Those "rare" scenarios you refer to are not that rare. My mother gets her glasses from WP, and they end up costing several hundred Canadian dollars, about the same as Costco. My mother's prescription is also not that strong or unusual; like most or a lot of old people, she is both near-sighted and far-sighted, and while bifocals might be an option, most people seem to prefer transition lenses (I think that's what they're called).

On reflection: the RFC is not buggy (by definition) and the correct fix is to never whitelist a hostname that contains a backslash. There is already a large variety of other checks that should be made on hostnames (e.g. no control characters, Unicode, form, length, where .’s are, blah blah blah), so this issue should only affect poorly written code.

The “fix” made by Google to Closure is weird - because it now breaks the RFC to match the broken browser behaviour... Seems like asking for trouble (although a proper generic fix is hard). Throwing an exception on backslash seems dirty, but possibly safer...
They didn't cancel it. The city did according to this report.

Their insurance won't cover them.

And I don't think you can blame SXSW for not having Pandemic or War etc etc insurance, that seems pretty normal.

"South by Southwest's cancellation this year will not be covered by insurance, founders Nick Barbaro and co-founder and managing director Roland Swenson confirmed to the Austin Chronicle Friday. (Barbaro is publisher the paper's publisher.)

On Friday, Austin Mayor Steve Adler announced the March 13-22 interactive, film and music festival that takes place throughout Austin was being canceled by city and county officials over concerns about the spread of the coronavirus. After the announcement, Barbaro told the paper that the SXSW organization does not have event cancellation insurance that covers disease outbreaks or city-wide emergency declarations."

While I don't agree with OP about replacing an entire system overnight. I do remember a friend who worked on a trading floor, and when they had bugs, their manager would say "the traders are taking a 30 minute lunch, you have that long to fix it" with the clear implication that they'd be fired if they didn't.

So I'm not sure if I know that the state of the art for trading platforms is as rock solid as everyone is implying, and Robinhood seems to be way far off from whatever gold standards there are, see infinite leverage bug. So I don't think it's crazy that they move quickly to fix it.

I'd never be able to stomach the pressure, and I wouldn't wish it on others, but it doesn't seem crazy.

And then, later, we could also order by phone and credit card, just giving our card number over the phone (since we didn't expect to be dealing with or be surrounded by assholes, like nowadays on the IoA) and getting the items after a few days (since the standard Post was better organised than the pitiful mess it has become now).
The military may not have this problem but for civilian use I’d ask: how do you secure this? For example: how do you ensure someone with a semi truck doesn’t ram into it and spill massively radioactive stuff all over the place?

This is more or less true.

> As a retail investor (i.e. not extremely rich), you can't gain any advantage over the market that overcomes your transaction costs.

This is patently absurd. It's an easily falsifiable statement which is a rare feat in economics. On average, the the average retail investor will not beat the market. That does not mean they can't. All you need to have is literally any correct thesis and the ability to execute on it and you will have an advantage over "the market". I'm not trivializing this, it's not an easy feat, but markets are absolutely full of inefficiencies, and it's obviously not impossible to do better than the average case. This is a complete misunderstanding of the efficient markets hypothesis.

BTW, I'm not recommending that anyone try to time markets.

Awesome list! Already almost 100 products.
Please.

The reality of the reported numbers are sufficient reason for the various actions that have been taken. There is no need to assume conspiracy and coverup. There is doubly no need to tell people who are using the most widely reported numbers that they are grossly uninformed.
This is why you would use IB for a retail brokerage account versus the "cooler app" if you care about execution and uptime.

Neither, because they're both contrived strawman scenarios.

>The US Intelligence Community has had some really massive screwups and straight up illegal operations become exposed over the last couple of decades (weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, COINTELPRO, PRISM, the list goes on...).

I mentioned COINTELPRO in another comment, but I don't consider any of the other things you listed as ranking as highly as planting child pornography, and even COINTELPRO never went that far.

>They have lost the legitimacy required for blind trust in them.

Another weakman argument. Obviously I don't trust any government, let alone any government's intelligence agencies. Few people do. Most people, in all countries around the world, are well-aware that they're some of the least trustworthy entities to ever exist.

I still think evidence is required when accusing an intelligence agency of heinous offenses, even when they have been guilty of many offenses in the past. I would even say the same of far more authoritarian and ruthless governments' intelligence agencies, like China's, even in spite of the fact that I think China's system and police state is a serious threat to humanity.

It would not shock me much if the CIA did this. It would shock me if everyone out-of-hand believed it was more likely than not that they did this despite not a shred of evidence, or in the vast majority of cases didn't even look for any evidence, or cared about there being evidence, or even read anything related to the situation beyond a condensed title or a comment from someone who also read nothing but the title. It's intellectual laziness. Not that prosecuting a leaker is a high-stakes social issue, but future issues may arise where such a poor approach to epistemology could pose a great threat to our country or world. This thread so far is only a hair's width better than an InfoWars comment section.
The problem is that your no name Chinese knock off mattress might be flammable.
I agree. It might make sense to use something like memcmp() on structs to assert that they are exactly the same, or to have a dedicated comparison function that makes sure they are functionally equivalent for some defined need.

However Objects should have only the second and it might also need to be (I think replacing a function pointer might be) an over-loaded function if something has extended a base object type. I'm not even actually positive that could work if there are two extensions to a base type.
Based on my experience selling USB 3.0 PCIe cards, the ones that supply 5.0V directly off the PSU are more likely to maintain voltage at higher currents than ones with an on-board buck circuit. And it's one less part that can fail. I have not seen much in the way of stability issues either. The 5V from the PSU is clean enough and voltage drop is minimal at these currents over the standard 18 AWG PSU wires.

I think they might be a bit more picky about my 10 mil to start and less than forthcoming.
They only lose money on paper. Pouring all the returns back into the business is a very sound business plan.
But has it ever been any different? Planting illegal items on people has always been a tactic that the law could use to ruin otherwise clean people they don't like. Talking about mass surveillance being the source of the problem kind of distracts from the fact that we need a solution to this form of abuse of power in general.

Part of the answer is probably constant counter-surveillance of law enforcement themselves (body cams, software logging, etc) stored in an immutable or at least tamper evident data store. Of course, you'd still have a "who watches the watchmen" problem.
Huh? Is California regulating PSU efficiency or power draw from the wall?
> Another interesting thing I have just noticed is that some journalists are now openly praising the Chinese handling of the crisis.

I think this is a very interesting effect. China has a fantastic ability to mobilize as one when needed. The vast majority of the time, the insane amount of control this requires, is something we're simply not comfortable with giving to governments. But sometimes, just sometimes, the results are worth it.

The closest equivalence I could think of that'd be familiar to American ears, would be the WW2 war effort. It's not how most of us would want a country run day-to-day, but the ability to do so when needed is incredibly powerful.

Pumping a hospital out in a week or a battleship out in a month aren't dissimilar in national focus. And they're both achievements. What makes China feel alien to us is that this is their default stance.

(And that said, there's plenty to be critical of in the earlier days of China's response. But in the interest of sharing data and research, we're catching more flies with honey.)

I think their infection number is still the highest among all countries so at this point: it doesn't matter. They're still the most affected.

Sensible choice all things considered. I think instant noodles are also a pretty good bet, I personally make a noodle soup with vegetables to bring up the nutrition a bit. I would also add frozen vegetables to the list as it keeps for ages and balances out most meals, whilst still being quite good for you.

Launch HN: Youcallme – Never “wait on hold” for customer support again
Hello HN, my name is Julian and I hate "waiting for the next available agent". Last year I started my first business and found myself dealing with the CRA (that's Canada Revenue Agency for the non-Canadians amongst us) fairly often as we were learning some of the ropes in filing corporate taxes. Nearly every call was at least an hour on hold. I asked the CRA to implement a callback service. Needless to say they didn't, so I built youcallme (http://youcallme.io) to solve this problem for myself.

The way it works is you enter in the phone number you want to call on the web tool and you receive a phone call as soon as the next agent is available. If there is a pre-recorded menu system we do speech-to-text to display the options as text messages you can respond to over chat.

Behind the scenes our system is making the call on your behalf and waiting on hold until an agent comes available. We're able to detect when it's a human on the other line before calling you. We've tested this tool on hundreds of phone numbers and it seems to work quite well.

I feel like I have a new "hammer" in hand and it's been fun using it for other phone calls I (and my friends) have had to make recently (e.g. telehealth: 2+ hours on-hold during the COVID-19 outbreak; bell: 40+ min; and other customer support companies, etc).

I thought I should share my solution with others, so I am launching youcallme: a service to make it so you never have to wait on hold again. I'm very keen on hearing if this is a frustration for others and esp. business who this may cost money (anecdote: my wife's work hired an intern to call our city's courthouse since wait times could be up to an entire day for the filing departments).

If you feel this service would be useful to you or just have thoughts on how we can make this a more useful tool, please reach out! We're eager to get the community's input, in the comments below, registering on our page, or contacting us at contact@youcallme.io

I love computers with 12VDC native power jacks. Why? My solar-powered van (interior only, the engine is still diesel) is 12VDC everywhere, and that's good clean battery DC, not some noisy-ass AC/DC conversion.

I love it so much that 2 of the last 3 computers I built (on an ATX form factor) were 12VDC native. I have external AC/DC power supplies for them, but when travelling/living in a solar-powered environment, I get to just plug them straight into the clean juice.

Sadly, monitors used to be this way too - they came with external power bricks and were 12VDC native. But sometime in the mid-2000's, something changed. My guess is that someone figured out how to shrink the necessary converters to a size that made it more "sensible" to put them inside the monitor. Result: almost impossible now to find a monitor you connect to a 12VDC supply. The one I have in the van took me months to find on ebay back in 2015. The only exception are "TV" monitors specifically made for RVs, which is great and all, except that most of them are crap compared to a modern monitor.

One small problem with plugging 12VDC native computers into a solar system: it's not atypical for the solar charge controller to drive the charge voltage over 14V, at which point most internal "PSUs" designed for 12V will shutdown. You need a voltage regulator between you and the battery-terminal voltage.

I was wondering how it'd handle someone using a prepaid card or a credit card without enough credit left on it... Like some first credit cards might be as low as like 500 so if people bought other things also could see some people getting close... Does it contact you to pay up if some reason it couldn't charge you fully or is there some sort of indicator before you walk out?
