Interesting and possible.

I suspect that Italy may have had undetected community transmission longer than Germany, that German testing is more comprehensive, and that we're seeing more case, detected earlier, and less advanced than Italy's, typically. In another week or two the gaps in experience may narrow.

Germany's recovereds are only 18 (of 1,224 cases), so the vast majority of cases are still ongoing. At a rate comparable to Italy's, we'd be looking at 88 recoveries.

For much of this epidemic, different countries aren't so much doing better or worse so much as being earlier or later in the process. Italy seems 1-2 weeks ahead of Germany.

Corollary: look for nationwide quarantine in Germany in 7-14 days.

At no point have the browsers ever not been running the whole TLS show. The CAB forum is a useful construct, but its usefulness has a specific place.

Imagine a weird little town with 6 people who buy all the groceries and a 60 grocery stores. The stores get together periodically and meet with the 6 shoppers to talk about what the stores should stock. Maybe they even vote.

That be a useful set of meetings.

But ultimately those 6 customers are going to buy whatever the hell they want to buy, regardless of how the votes went.

The trends definitely favor a mobile-first approach going forward, if simply because of the additional systems integration work that goes into tuning laptops. Battery life aside, the laws of physics dictate that you're more likely to have a reliable experience with a low-power, low-heat, low-vibration machine than a screamer desktop, and those things are definitely qualities that the manufactuers optimize for in mobile devices.

It's also increasingly common to see single-board SFF desktops that are essentially laptop parts with different I/O. I suspect that those are less heavily tuned, though.
They do, but only when they want so, like they want endless exponential growth of economy but not energy consumption.
> Don't implement a feature

This obviously requires contextualization and I naturally assume it was stated with that context implicit, but I'm not entirely sure what the connotation is. Don't implement OS-level features, so when the OS (re)does them (potentially better, notwithstanding incompetence) you die?

We have places where we ultimately emit IL (the bytecode of .NET). However, usually we just emit F#, restricted to certain constructs which are allocation-free and so forth.

We aren't producing F# in the sense that we have to invoke the F# compiler ourselves, though. In the calculator example, given the description `Add (Negate (Const 5)) (Const 3)`, we might ultimately end up having assembled an F# function in memory like `fun () -> -5 + 3`; when this function is invoked, the value `-2` will be calculated. Ultimately we usually put together the functions in the usual way you make a function: by composition of smaller functions. The very simplest expressions like `Const 5` have a simple template like `fun () -> 5` which we can just directly produce; more complex expressions have to be interpreted recursively into F# function objects.

I agree it's a bit hard to explain unless you're trying to solve a less trivial problem :(

Looking at the status of American retail, not a chance. We put chips in credit cards 20 years too late, and to this day in major metro cities plenty of name brand stores have a little scrap of paper taped to the card reader telling you to swipe. No one likes chip readers unless you have a fetish for security, they are slow and fail before the rest of the credit card. Swiping is instant and works with the scrappiest of credit cards, and that's what people prefer when given the choice. Apple pay and other touchless systems are not in heavy use, either, and have also been around for years.

This is an industry with a lot of inertia, and customers are not going to be driving this change like a lot of optimists at amazon might expect. They will struggle when the tech isn't working right and prefer the old ways, as they do now.

Plus there is the rampant theft that will occur, unless you hire someone to stand there and man the door. And at that point you've spent millions on this fancy tech that your shareholders salivated over to have the same exact payroll overhead as you did when you had someone sitting there scanning items.

If this makes amazon and the dime a dozen clone startups some money, good for them, but I don't see this changing the world.

Cold analysis and reason are rarely motivational or persuasive on their own. None of us like to admit it but our lives are emotionally driven pretty much all of the time, even when we're trying to be reasonable. To lead, persuade, and negotiate effectively with other human beings you need to be able to press emotional buttons.

While someone who is rude all the time, or unnecessarily, is probably not someone you want to work with. Well timed rudeness does have its place in a constructive conversation. Just like analogy does, or hyperbole, or reason - each have their place. To snap people back on track, to be understood, to escape being bogged down in irrelevant detail, convincing others of behavior or actions that are truly unacceptable to you, etc.
What country has a working completely private healthcare system?
problem for me: i need a screamer desktop. i'm not online or running JS in the browser, i'm developing and building software that used to take 9 minutes to compile from scratch on those 12VDC systems. Over and over again.

at home now i have a 16 core ryzen, which is extremely quiet and very, very much faster than those systems. but i don't think it would be possible to host this on a 12VDC PSU, and even if it was, the mobo form factor is inappropriate for the space i built in the van :(

to be fair, the lenovo Y700 was/is essentially as fast as the 12VDC systems, which is quite impressive.
PKIs are a much more general system, but this is a very specific PKI that was built specifically for web browsers. You can use others, you can even build your own. The fact that the this PKI was first, means that some people depend on it who probably shouldn't. But its still by the browsers, for the browsers.

You're getting a lot of flak but this was my reaction too. The mistake was comparing it to the leaf instead of all cars the company produced and confronting the futurist hype train head-on. This is 2020, a million cars isn't impressive. Fuel efficient hybrids have done more to help the climate than Tesla has. Just look at Europe, electric cars are so practical and efficient that countries are working to ban their competition.

It isn’t that easy to train someone to handle medical emergencies. They don’t typically fall into the same “path”.

As well there’s a technical skill component that takes a while to master due to variations in person-to-person anatomy. Took me about 8-10 real live intubations in life or death emergency situations (not training where I had all the time in the world) to feel comfortable enough to be unsupervised.

I have never had a pain free experience with any grocery store's self check out. I suppose I am not proficient at scanning and placing items on the scale/bagging area one at a time.

They produce great cars that people love, but people generally love high-end very expensive cars.

A Nissan Leaf is not as nice of a car as a Tesla Model 3 in pretty much any way, but it also costs 3/4 of the price. Meanwhile, the Leaf is profitable per-car, and the base model Tesla Model 3 is barely break-even per-car, even with the very aggressive accounting that Tesla uses. Tesla can't keep producing base Model 3's at the price they are selling them for (even at over $40k), they are a loss leader to look competitive on price, the profitable version is well over $50k without government subsidies that will end this year (and the performance model is over $60k). A leaf is around $30k.

I sympathise with the issue of racial discrimination, but as I said before, if the issue is racial discrimination, in particular when dealing with a member of law enforcement, adding a gun to the mix doesn't really sound like a smart solution. The smart solution would be to solve discrimination. Perhaps start with a simple policy of not hiring racists as cops, and firing those who are already cops? Radical idea I know.

If your argument for why the average man-on-the-street needs a gun is "well someone else might have a gun" and you don't see how that is a clearly active 'slippery slope', I can't help you.

Elected officials in your country have suggested - seriously - that the problem to "gun attacks in schools" is... "give the teachers guns", because apparently those officials live in some fantasy world where teachers are perfect and infallible, and students are all on the honour roll without a single infraction for misbehaviour. I mean seriously this idea is fucking insane. I imagine if they had a house in the path of a wild fire, and for some reason had a bunch of highly flammable material, their solution would be "let's stack it up around the house".

This is why I made the original comment: if violence (and apparently discrimination) is so ingrained in American culture, and gun control won't work (either because of lack of trying or because unlike every other country it actually doesn't work in the US), then problem is clearly not the guns but the culture, and if you won't control the bans, we (the rest of the world) should simply control the culture.

As a young(ish) person, what would most interest me in an electric car is essentially an electrified Corolla. I don't derive any value from performance, features, or looks. I care about safety, reliability, range, and cost.

A Model 3 with 500km of range is over triple the price of a Corolla and a Leaf is over double the price in my market - they just don't make financial sense until they drastically drop in price.

“eats a bag of potato chips is at risk of that anyway.”

I can do that easily and will do so if somebody gives me a bag of chips. It’s not even a challenge ;)
It has been explained a few times that its more related to the fact that stores stock only just enough toilet paper to keep up with demand which is usually almost perfectly regular. Even if everyone just grabs one more bag than they normally do, its enough to totally wipe out the stores.

Where as with other things, you could grab a months supply of cans and pasta and there will still be so much left, as well as the fact that not everyone is grabbing the same kinds of foods so the hit is spread over pasta, rice, flour and a huge range of canned food.

... no? the US absolutely is not.

The "low" numbers are only low because the reported numbers are explicitly for confirmed cases, but the CDC and government has made it clear that testing is to be restricted as much as possible. Even if the US was capable of testing at the rates of other countries, which it isn't because the CDC has refused to use the WHO tests instead favouring US developed private tests.

Even in places like Washington that have ballooning case numbers they're not permitted to just do widespread free testing.

Show HN: Curated Podcast Snippets
I curate ~10 minute snippets from the best tech podcasts of the week into a single episode for my friends to listen to.

Here's an example - https://soundcloud.com/user-857781619/podcastcurated-scarcity-consumer-social-investment-thesis-39/s-ep1sI

I love podcasts and take a lot of notes on them, but my friends/family just want the most interesting snippets of them because (1) they don't have the time to listen to all and (2) there are TOO many podcast episodes. It's fun for me to pick interesting sections and create a "compiled" episode, and so wanted to share with HN too. In the example above, it's my favorite snippets from recent episodes of three podcasts (Starting Greatness, Invest like the Best, and Venture Stories). Now you can sample these three episodes, learn something new, and if you like a specific one, go and listen to the whole episode!

Would love to share with y’all too! Feel free to fill this Google Form with topics you're interested in and I’ll do my best!

The British NHS is private at the primary care level. Every GP is a private business contracted by the government to provide local health services.

It’s the elimination of the uninsured risk (aka will I get paid for treating this individual) that is the difference. Not whether the healthcare provider is employed directly by the state.
