Bitwarden is worthy of a peek. I enjoy it privately and have rolled it to the company I work in. We are not heavy users, but for basic password sharing and secrets management it is great. It might be great for more advanced use cases too, but have not used it for such things.

The cool thing is that you can host your own server is you want with their open source solutions. I have no experience doing that either, but it sounds nice to have the option.
Perfidy, in some contexts, means a promise to act in good faith but with intention to subvert the effort.
No, this is not correct. There are only allowances for non-discriminatory "reasonable restrictions" such as closing roads during unsafe road conditions. There is no general "public safety" loophole that enables the Federal government to abrogate well-established rights, there must be due process for each individual so-deprived. This is essentially settled law in the US. And for good reason: it would give the government carte blanche to abrogate any Constitutional right using a nebulous notion of public safety as a fig leaf.

It is the same reason that courts have consistently rejected public safety arguments for depriving Americans of firearms without due process, as well as de facto deprivation attempts via regulatory technicalities like a million dollar tax on guns or banning ammunition.
You are not crazy you are simply overreacting like a typical american.
No, the common pathology is that they stop at cui bono and come to conclusions about facts based only on incentives instead of empirical data and evidence.

I think it's a natural consequence of new possibilities existing in the JS world. Build tools like webpack, transpilers like Babel, type systems like TypeScript; deployment architectures like JAMstack; all these things mean we can do new and interesting things with code, and developers are excited to explore them. It's a good thing! We want to explore the domain as much as possible to find the best solutions. Eventually you'll see consolidation around a smaller number of the best projects.
One last comment because you clearly seem to prefer to live in your own world.

Assessing risk the way you do has one big issue (it actually has multiple but let's stick with one). When you put Corona in the disastrous category you habe to provide reasons for doing so, otherwise it is just a gut feeling. And by classifying it as disastrous, you run into issues when classifying stuff like Ebola for example. Over-classifying has that effect on measuring systems, that's why you need teams of experts from multiple disciplines to do it properly. And would have to do so at multiple sub levels for each criteria. The whole purpose is to take gut feeling and emotions out of the process. Doing it alone makes the whole exercise pointless.

Now, take that whatever way you want.
>Except that the first scenario isn't a strawman, or even contrived: it's exactly what the CIA/FBI/prosecution is telling us to believe.

No, it isn't. It is if you were to quickly skim the NYT article, perhaps, but that's not the actual story. The real story is in the court documents.
Coronavirus past containment: Q&A with former FDA chief
Yes, I read that. The problem is that you need to train the bias to get comparable results.

Also, please note that you cannot have zero mean outputs of residual in the res x = x + relu (Ax + b) and you obviously can have zero mean outputs in the subtraction case (res x = x - relu (Ax + b)).

The very fact that in one case you have zero mean outputs and in other case you don't brings me to necessity to point you to SELU: https://towardsdatascience.com/selu-make-fnns-great-again-sn...

This SELU paper demonstrates, in my opinion, the benefits of having zero mean outputs.

(I have to say that in my experiments SELU was not all that beneficial, but other means that bring zero means into existence were)

I think that residual neural network is capable to route around the case of having to learn non-zero means in inputs. So you are right in stating that these two cases will be indistinguishable. I just have to say that having subtraction instead of addition helps neural net to train faster and get better accuracy just because training process have less things to learn.

Ask HN: No-Code authentication and authorization solutions
Hey y'all,

do you know if there are any good No-Code solutions for user management, authentication and authorization? There are some No-Code solutions that allows you to create apps, and website, etc... Do some of them have build in auth solutions?

Please share all of them in this thread!

Don't just call, get it in writing if you're in the USA. At the very least record that call if it's legal to do so in your state, but that's problematic for other reasons.

When the hospital decides after the fact to bill you thousands of dollars you won't have much of a recourse besides telling your family members to ignore the calls from aggressive medical collection agencies at 3am.
CBOR went to the trouble of being an IETF standard, RFC 7049. So, you know, the lovely thing about using standards!
Which example? The six examples that talk about "difference in means" really show the difference in means divided by some measure of variance. Who would consider the same expected difference to mean the same effect size when the population distributions are narrow and when they're wide?

> two observations that extreme would make the interpretation of both mean and variance calculations pretty dubious

Yeah, it's a bad example, but I think it at least gives an intuition for why expected difference is not a good measure of effect. This shows two data sets with the same expected difference but one shows a large effect and one shows a small one: https://imgur.com/a/hg2NNl2 (the rebuttal paper also draws the expected value with variance and shows a similar situation).

I love this concept. This perfectly describes the state of pretty much all consumer markets today, and one of the biggest pitfalls of free-market capitalism. Also, it feeds in to my always-shouted-down argument that advertising/marketing is generally a counter-productive economic broken window (not counter-productive for a given business, but counter-productive as a whole).
This is a great resource, but I hope that the author sees this comment.

If you want to maximize credibility, remove the line about supporting artists, and anything that can be perceived as political like the line about healthcare.

Artists are a small percentage of people impacted, restaurant workers, nail salons, retail, hotels, airline employees, contractors, massage professionals etc. The list is almost limitless. If you are in another group, you are going to read that line, and think, what about me?

Healthcare is a politically charged issue, right or wrong, listing that here discredits the message for half the readers.

The overall message is important, and I encourage the author to make a few tweaks to get it in front of more people and save lives.
Calling Skelton a dependency is ludicrous. It's just an HTML file with a CSS file. Look at every other "lightweight CSS framework" - Specture, Mustard UI, etc. They all have dozens and dozens of files where you need a package manager.

The whole point was that it's simple enough that I don't have to deal with a package manager, and a lot of projects don't need to.
Delimited formats are, in general, slower to parse than formats where the record sizes are encoded in the message.

That said, not something I want to prematurely optimize for.

The pandemic hasn't even officially started yet; you're making a lot of assumptions about how the situation will unfold that are nowhere near justified. Pieces of paper saying that everything should be alright are one of many things that do not have an impact on the virus. The US has officially done better than most countries with a sick leave policy, although the real state of affairs we won't know for a while and is likely to be horrible.

From afar, the biggest problem looks like the CDCs iron clad grip on test kit certification slowing the response by a month. This compounds a general view of mine that the American healthcare system is crippled by existing regulation that links insurance to employment. Linking emergency response funding to employment is another terrible idea that will hardly assist the situation.

What everyone needed was a disaster preparedness plan. Forcing companies to pay money that they are probably not going to have in a pandemic is a great way to obscure from people how much planning they need to do. Companies don't have magically deep pockets.

Launch HN: Cotter (YC W20) – Secure One-Click Phone Number Login
Hi, HN!

We are Putri, Anthony, Kevin, Michelle, and Albert from Cotter (https://www.cotter.app)

Cotter is an authentication SDK that lets users log in to your website/app securely using phone numbers, without a password.

We built Cotter because authentication that works in the US doesn’t work in Southeast Asia, India, LatAm, and Africa. People there prefer to use phone numbers to log in because they don’t use email and good passwords are hard to remember.

We come from Indonesia. Over there, in order to reach more people, mobile apps make their login easily accessible to everyone, which has resulted in the removal of emails and passwords. They made SMS based authentication a standard across sign up, login, and transactions.

However, SMS-based authentication comes with a security tradeoff and costs both users and businesses millions of dollars. Scammers have figured out several ways to extract verification codes via social engineering, SMS forwarding, and SIM-swapping. One of us has lost money due to SIM swapping and we've seen family relatives lose their digital wallet balances from social engineering. It’s easy for these scammers to extract the verification code from their target. The victims of this misconduct tend to be ride-hailers, online merchants, and other people whose income depends on mobile apps, so this issue can hit hard.

To address this, we've built a secure authentication SDK that has the convenience of only using a phone number but does not have those security drawbacks.

Cotter is unique in 3 ways. First, integrating with Cotter is very fast and easy - developers can provide a full-suite authentication including login, SMS one-time password, Trusted Device, Biometric, and PIN in just a few lines of code.

Second, Cotter works across apps/websites, just like Google Sign-In. Once the user’s phone number is verified in one app, the user doesn’t need to re-verify their phone number again in other apps - one user does not have to be verified over and over again.

Third, Cotter is secure. It works like Apple’s Trusted Devices where users can only log in from a Trusted Device. It also works from within your app (no third-party authenticator app). We are following the FIDO protocol for this. Cotter’s SDK generates asymmetric keys in your device, saves the private key in secure storage, and sends the public key to Cotter's server. Apps can choose to secure the keys using Biometric/PIN. Every time the app requests an authentication, either for a login or for a transaction, Cotter’s SDK will send a signature using the private key that the app’s server can verify.

How does Cotter make money? We charge $0.02/API call + Standard SMS Rates.

We would love to hear more about your experiences authenticating users! What are your biggest pain points and what services do you wish existed to solve those? We are also happy to discuss how we can make Cotter better and more secure. Either comment here, or shoot us an email anytime at team@cotter.app.

Also, if you want to know more about integrating with us, you can check out our documentation at https://docs.cotter.app

Part of the problem is that too many people look at the current state of their communities and conclude everything is all right.

What they're failing to consider is that Wuhan, Italy, New York, Seattle, and San Jose are not anomalies. If your community has no reported infections, it's rapidly becoming the anomaly.

Consider those places you keep hearing about as a glimpse into the future - your future. Then take steps to do what you can as an individual to prevent that from happening.

> you saying I was using Python's “language+plus-its-entire-ecosystem”. This is not true; Counter is part of the standard library that comes with the language. It is not from a third-party package.

I'm not sure I agree "third-party package" is a good/useful place to draw the line, but I don't think it's terribly important. Sorry.

> you almost never care about the index of a value in a hash table (because it's ridiculous)

So I want to query all of the referrer urls I've seen recently. I only see a few of them, so I want to have a table of all the URLs, and another table with one row per event (landing on my page). In SQL, you might have a foreign-key operation, but in q, I can also make the enumeration directly. I don't really care about the value of the index, just that I have one.
If this is true, then how can one dispute any conspiracy theory? If one believes that all of law enforcement and intelligence is in on every conspiracy, will never leak, and that all evidence of every conspiracy is destroyed before it can ever be discovered, then you can justify any belief.

I think if the FBI or police covered up a conspiracy theory of planted child pornography evidence, and this were found out, it would be a massive scandal that would dominate the news for months or years.

Ah, I mentioned it on Twitter [1] somewhat prompted by seeing this article, but before reading it, but:

> It's interesting that Svelte is positioned as a Javascript framework: it seems to be practically a different language, far more so than JS+JSX.

> The downside is that it's hard to integrate with much of the Javascript ecosystem, e.g. TypeScript.

> Yet at the same time, it doesn't fully embrace being a different language, so it does not add features like e.g. how Elm supports pattern matching.

> It does make it an easier sell, I suppose, which does certainly count for something. Am I missing something else?

After having read it, it does seem that the author does both consider it a separate language, but also still presents it as a JS framework. I wonder if the former isn't being underestimated?

Which they do by themselves. Not everyone who is infected dies, survivors develop a certain level of immunity (generally speaking), cured people don't infect other people. Some people are "immune" right from the start. So epidemics slow down, the part of a given population not getting it or infecting others increases with time. Which automatically slows down the spreading of the disease.

All measures we take optimize for that. Vaccination increase the amount of immune people, quarantine pulls the inflection point forward and slows the spreading. Protecting the most at risk population further reduces the risk of spreading. And so on. So yes, the early phases are exponential. But the later phases are not. So modelling this thing exponentially against the max. number people on earth is just wrong.

This isn't true though. We're simply behind them on the infection timeline, thanks solely to geographical proximity and luck.
