Late reply. I know that developers assign the specific key for each option on Windows, but the fact is that if you take a bunch of commonly used Windows programs and compare them with a bunch of commonly used Mac programs, you'd find the Windows ones a lot easier to use with a keyboard. I have been using both Windows and macOS (and its earlier versions) everyday for a long time, and I see the keyboard accessibility as a comparative deficiency on macOS (though I like how easy it is to assign custom shortcuts from System Preferences).
What makes you think BootCamp wont be able to recompile its software on an ARM machine? If an ESXi equivalent extension is brought in to the chip it is entirely possible to do.
I completely agree with you (15kt and 22kt are very different, for one thing), but...

>Tech work is a field that likely won't have to worry about this though.

With tech stocks tanking and economic growth likely sluggish for at least the next eighteen months, I can see large tech firms putting a hiring freeze in place, making it more difficult to switch jobs and more difficult to get hired if you DO get laid off.

Moreover, all that RSU comp that makes such a big portion of many tech workers take home pay just took a 20% haircut from a few weeks ago. It could well go lower.

Then there is the startup scene. I can definitely see current events massively impacting funding (see the recent Sequoia post). This could quite reasonably cause many startups to fail just like they did in 2008.

The IPO market is also going to be hit. I don't see any major unicorns doing an offering until the recovery happens. A lack of IPOs means, again, that the people willing to contribute to earlier stages of the pipeline, dry up.

Then there are secondary and tertiary effects. If the average tech worker sees their total comp drop by 10% to 20%, and quite a few lose their jobs, do you think the home you just bought in SF is going to be worth more in a year, or will there be some reduction (in appreciation if not absolute values)?
Not to belabor a point; but the M1 tank you're describing was developed entirely by Chrysler Defense in the '70s before being sold to GD Land Systems. Chrysler had done lots of work with gas-turbine propulsion in cars, and while it didn't lead to a production car, it led to tanks.

I'd just like to know why that happens less and less nowadays...

> The downside to this kind of stigmatization is that people start to abuse it as soft cultural power

Humans have been enforcing social norms for at least as long as we have written history. And people have probably been abusing that habit for just as long.

Some social norms are good; others are bad. Some ways of enforcing social norms are polite, others are annoying, others (Twitter mobs) can be horrifying.

I would consider "Let's call this the coronavirus, or CORVID-19, out of consideration for Wuhan 10 years from now" as at least a reasonable one; and a polite request on Hackernews is hardly going to give you PTSD or ruin your life.

In other words: I understand where you're coming from, but "My right to call this the Wuhan virus" is a funny hill to choose to die on. :-)
ARM is on the rise within the industry. It's not a trend only for Apple, but Apple might try to move more quickly than other players. My guess is that they'll try to evolve iPad, as an ARM-based portable device, before they look to bring MacBooks over to ARM. This will be a really strong signal that it's time to seriously start porting.

Windows is also pushing more ARM support. As a result, some of the infrastructure e.g. Chromium and Electron is starting to get ARM support. I expect other tools, platforms, and frameworks to start getting ARM support, but it won't be quick, or uniform. This will speed up efforts across the industry. I think they really need to break with the past to get the huge battery life gains that are possible, and Intel/AMD don't have much to offer there.

I don't think any of this will happen overnight, but Apple will look to move things quickly. I'm not sure it's the same situation that Apple found themselves in when they moved off PowerPC. That was an existential issue for their hardware. Now they are on the incumbent platform, so there is time to make a more considered transition. They have iPad as a place to experiment as long as they maintain the general usability and experience of that platform.
I was delaying investing in the stock market waiting for the next recession. My intention though isn't to try to time the bottom (which nobody can predict), but just to start buying when I think prices are "good enough".
Buy S&P puts as a hedge to save your account in times of extreme volatility.

I had 270 strike puts for April I bought on Friday for $6 that jumped to $15 today and got my account to break even even though the value of my stocks went down.
I went to a Decathlon in the UK to buy a bag and it was a weird experience. There was something a bit unnerving about interacting with a system with not enough feedback.

A reassuring 'beep' from the system would have helped me know it had scanned and was happy rather than waiting for it to show up on a screen.

Overall I find self-checkouts with barcodes quicker and easier. A scan and beep is a quick action. Putting something in a basket and waiting an unspecified amount of time was weird but no doubt would be something I'd get used to if it was a regular thing.
What? That's how you minimize risk because there's a good chance the markets will continue to slide. It's literally why the markets are down - because investors are pulling out and parking their cash in safer havens.
You are dismissing his analysis because it's not authoritative enough for you, that's an awful attitude to have. Authoritative expert opinions that require belief are worse and more dangerous than a random person's honest analysis, based on facts that doesn't require any belief nor gives them any power because of that.

The lack of immunity alone could explain why it "spreads so easily", the title is just sensational.
Interesting ideas- kind of, but the interesting ideas are not new. Dimensionality is one of the oldest formulated motor-related problems. Hybrid rotors are certainly an active area. The motor is a pretty novel and clever way to draw all these things together, but it's not the kind of thing to build a product around.

Some difficulties- these are fundamental issues. They are fundamentally unsolvable with the suggested architecture. Eg anything that adds cooling back in will conflict with the rotors or coils.

On manufacturability:

> Flux paths in the teeth seem very much 3-dimensional, which would require sintered materials to be used to limit eddy-current losses.

This really belies how much of a fucking nightmare this would be.

First, an unrelated area of development: grain-oriented electrical steels have 30% higher permeability (in one direction) than non-oriented steels. People are actively looking to ways to orient steel grains into the arches necessary to make a motor, because even small improvements in permeability can lead to smaller and more efficient motors. A 30% improvement would be incredible, and justify a large cost increase since the cost of motors is effectively determined by the electricity usage.

The permeability of sintered soft materials is at best ~1/10th that of the electrical steel used in motors. So... thats a huge issue. Its also much more expensive. Its also mechanically unsuitable for high torque motors, because it's weak and brittle. It also has much higher losses.

The shape of the stator would also require entirely new technologies to even make. Die-sintered powders are very precise in two axes- since you're pressing into a mould, you can rely on near-thousandth repeatable tolerances once you have accounted for shrinkage after sintering (which can take multiple tries to get right). That third axis is a real bitch. Powder will never be consistent; you cant apply hundreds of tonnes of pressing force and be precise to thousandths of an inch, and even if you can get the force repeatable the compressability of powders varies too much between batches due to grain shape and size, temperature, additives, humidity... And even if it was consistent, you cant design for that. You can only adjust a ten thousand dollar mould after the fact.

And that z dimension is the most critical, since any asymmetry will cause uneven forces on the axle bearings. In a normal motor you can trivially be off by several hundredths of an inch because the axial force is negligible. In this design a thou will cause a large force imbalance, so each motor will need to be a precision part. Even variations inside the rotor will cause large vibrations, so sintering + heat treating will be a nightmare. Not to mention that the magnets will have to be matched individually, both for size/thickness and permeability tolerance.

If my boss wanted me to produce this thing, I'd quit.
Do you wish that elevators had employees to hit the button for you, and every door had a doorman to open it? This isn't exactly something new...
It's widely known state of things because of the current situation (low interest rates for very long time, etc.). Infact, many financial institutions and experts have been of the idea that a major stock crisis was around the corner for a while.

You could argue that most would have disagreed, but at the end 2018 many stock crisis indicators, models and statistics started to turn red and indicate that a crash was close.

2019 had a couple of close calls like the Turkish lira crisis, but there was never widespread panic to feed a worldwide crash. Now there is.

no - oil dependent companies bought oil futures to hedge their price risk, so you shouldn't expect much benefit there. additionally, the high yield bond sector has a ton of energy company exposure, and those are falling through the floor. an extended price war could really obliterate those bonds, and their lenders.

Take this with a train of salt because I’m not an economist, but one of the most often touted general points of the need for a correction is the cyclically adjusted price to earnings ratio being elevated [1].

In other words, stocks are more “expensive” and thus ripe for a correction

You need 365 * 365 to get both the bottom and peak right
I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, it's nice to have many more localized or focused platforms, as it protects against some of the nastier side of the modern market economy. On the other hand, whenever I need to move between or interact with multiple such platforms, I badly wish for a unified interface merging them all.
DCA is an acknowledgment that you don’t know where the bottom is.
OP said nothing about timing the market. As you mentioned, that's the entire opposite of DCA. I take your interpretation to be a bit disingenuous and lacking in good faith.

OPs point is clearly that the panic selling is not rational and they are acting accordingly. Whether or not that's correct remains to be seen, however.
In certain places, tax is not added for certain goods. For example, in Seattle food is not taxed, unless it is prepared, like fast food or deli counters.
> Of course, hardly any website offered alternate stylesheets. So this later got moved to a menu and forgotten.

It looks like it's even broken in the most recent versions—although I may be making a bad inference and support was actually deliberately removed recently, which is equally likely.

One of the only sites I know of that ever offered alternate stylesheets is http://virtualplastic.net.

With Firefox's style switcher, you should be able to use "Page Style" from the "View" menu to switch between all three, if things were working. By using View Source on that page, you can see that there are three stylesheets available called "red", "purple", and "default". Since the style switcher currently only allows switching between styled and unstyled views, you have to use the in-content links in top right corner of the page header instead. (Note that there are only two icons for switching, though—"purple" is missing.)
It's certainly very caption-able. From the expression on her face, I get the impression he's just asked if it's 1:1 scale, or something.
This is an unexpected (from someone outside the cert industry) development. I know for sure it will have some impact on servers I manage, since we typically purchase 2 year certs, and issue 5 year certs internally.

It's also been shown recently that not all companies are great at managing their certs, with notable shutdowns associated with expired certificates. Increasing the frequency of updating certs should be a good thing, but in practice I'm afraid that it will remain a manual project for some time to come.

> Telling everyone to go out and stockpile food is just the sort of dangerous, panic inducing rhetoric we don't need right now.

I don't think so. The problem is you don't want people to freak out and overdo it now, and you don't want them to freak out and overdo it in the future if some drastic measures are needed.

I think it would be totally prudent to give people specific sensible things they can do to prepare for the worst case. E.g.

1. Keep an extra week's worth of household consumables and whatever food they typically eat on hand.

Don't go splurge on 100 lbs of rice and pinto beans and two years worth of toilet paper. This isn't going to be a like nuclear war: public utilities will remain online, the water supply will be safe, food will be available in stores. The only possible issue with these products is that people may not be able to go out and buy them as frequently as they're used to.

2. Keep an extra month's worth of prescription medications, for similar reasons.

3. Buy a couple of small bottles of hand sanitizer (like travel size), for use on the go, which will last XX weeks for a typical person.
But no big deal if you can't find any since washing your hands works well.
Brave to do a startup when many are agitating to completely get rid of for profit health insurance in the US.
I'd tweak this advice _slightly_. After this pretty significant swing, it's probably a good time to re-visit your asset allocation. If you're, for example, holding 10% bonds, your allocation is now going to be overweight bonds. So it's a good time to sell some bonds, buy equities, and get back to your 90%/10% allocation.
Even if that's true, and I think it's important to note there's no known evidence for it, being asked to commit a crime doesn't normally diminish your culpability for it. If your boss tells you to open a fake account, you're obligated to say no, just as you would if your boss told you to go punch someone or steal their wallet.

Nothing you said here was true.

Twitter's #1 goal is to generate profit through advertising. You can pay for a slot on the "trending" list. They have custom "emojis" for paying customers' trends. They aren't putting free speech first - they actively suspend accounts for making jokes about their largest advertisers.

Remember the Starbucks / Steve King debacle where Steve King thought that a Starbucks store manager was firing people for saying "Merry Christmas"? Twitter banned the satirist who made the joke, saying he had "impersonated the Starbucks brand" by falsely claiming to be an employee. (https://www.newsweek.com/steve-king-starbucks-merry-christma...)

It isn't a "public utility". It's a privately-owned social media website that operates in whatever way it has to to produce profit for shareholders. The public doesn't own the platform and has zero governance of how it works.

Your ability to mute/block/unfollow accounts does not change this.

Twitter is already a "revenue-maximizing ad-filled trashfire" in every way that matters.

Do they have circuit breakers in the other direction?
That hasn’t been my experience actually going to one of these stores.
The point, though: Neither is the stock market.
Having worked for one of the (smaller) big firms, and had a chance to watch from the sidelines and seen how days like this work: No, these circuit breakers don't screw the regular guys. They discourage the regular guys from screwing themselves.

There are a lot of firms whose core business strategy is to keep a level head and take advantage of people who panic and (over)react on days like this. They get damn rich doing it, too.

I'm having trouble seeing how those two positions/statements contradict each other. If markets need a correction, and then they get it, that is part of the business cycle.

Also, "at this point" is at the point of one of the most runaway bull markets of all time. IMO, the correction has been needed for a couple years now. I didn't have nor did I see that sentiment on HN 5+ years back.

Few people would be bothered by something like this. If they would be bothered, we'd see bigger noise about grocery store loyalty programs which are basically to track purchases.
