You think this is the one time the media isn't sensationalizing anything? Are you sure that's not just because it aligns with your preconceived notions?

Again, things are bad in Italy, yes, because the north is full of old folks with comorbid conditions.

There's no world in which 15% of Italy is going to be in hospital with nCoV-19. Even in Wuhan, there were a total of some 80,000 cases (an overestimate) out of a population of 11 MILLION in the city alone, and 19 MILLION in the metro area. That's (using the lower bound) 0.7% of which only a 5000 were severe or critical, or 0.045%.

A far cry for 15%. You appear to be off by 3-4 orders of magnitude.

That’s before outages, priority now is to restore service ASAP, whatever it takes.
All great points. I was hoping I wasn't taking crazy pills reading over this article -- thanks for recentering the discussion outside of "count of vulnerabilities."

To your point, if I have 3 vulnerabilities and another program has 3,000, both counts are immaterial if vulnerability includes everything from "can observe encrypted traffic occurs" to "wide open access."
If you think developing web spider software is akin to developing nuclear weapons, I think you might want to go have a talk with some larger, well-known companies who have not only half-developed not-yet-working software (like my activitypub spider, which doesn't even have a storage backend at the moment), but who have fully developed advanced web spiders that have actually downloaded and archived exabytes of data from the web, to be saved privately for all time. Frequently they even let anyone who wants search the full text of it, usually without authentication!

If you don't want second parties to have copies of your data, configure your webserver not to send it to them when they request it. You can't force someone to do something with an HTTP request.
No, I don't know. I don't have trouble navigating being personable to my coworkers and getting work done. In fact, it's kind of hard to imagine how being personable gets in the way of productivity, when I'd imagine the opposite to be true - that is to say a lack of personableness amongst co-workers in an office would lead to inefficiencies. I'm not sure how being personable, to you, means bonding to the extent that nothing got done.
Maybe they were thinking "Transition" instead of progressive. I wasn't thinking straight and made that mistake once.
Isn't it a known CIA or FBI technique to imply people are "weird" in some fashion, so that the public doesn't look into cases too much. Like it used to be people accused by them were implied to be homosexual, transexual, furries, weird sex things, etc. Now it's child porn, so that no one would want to look into it too much or want to defend the accused person too much.
people looove to say this, we have all heard it, but it does lubricate. if you have a dry bike or motorcycle chain and only wd40 on hand use it, it works. just be sure to get a better chain lubricant quick or keep applying the wd40 every day because it doesn’t stick around very long.
That may make sense if you're thinking about short term cash, but for longer term investments it still holds up.
This seems similar to how Unix commands have both short and long names for flags. Single-character flags are easier to type, but also easier to mistype or misread since there is less redundancy.

It seems like K would be a particularly suitable language for having more than one syntax. The short syntax, once you get used to it, would be better for keyboard input and expert whiteboard discussions, but it might also be nice if there were also a standard syntax that was longer and closer to what most people expect? An editor could automatically translate between short and long syntax, and this would be helpful for making sure you typed what you think you did.
It's still super weird to me that Apple has a tablet that costs more than a laptop. And I think in its struggle to try to make the world make sense again, my brain has latched onto the notion of Macbooks and iPads sharing a processor line.

It seems like design and manufacturing of their beefiest ARM processors would bear the brunt of a lot of R&D expenses. That's the iPad Pro right now. If the regular iPad, iPad mini, and iPhone processors are essentially refinements of an earlier iPad Pro core (and/or manufacturing processes), then of course they'll be cheaper; the biggest costs were recouped on the Pro.

If their flagship processor is developed for a Macbook, or the Macbook and the iPad Pro, it doesn't seem like that big of a stretch to expect that this should lower the price of iPads at least, if not the whole catalog.
One of the key benefits of employer-sponsored health insurance for me is that I don't have to shop for health insurance. Talking with my self-employed friends and the ridiculous number of options (which are all designed to screw you anyway when you get really sick) makes me want to never have to go through that process.

Very few servers at large-scale data warehouses have disk encryption of the form that requires a boot password. Most will have encryption on the data volumes, and even at the OS level will have some form of encryption where the key is stored next to data (So that the key can be wiped/changed to easily "wipe" the data)

To look at what companies like the FAANGs are doing, see how Hashicorp's Vault models threats[1]. When in High-Availability mode, physical presence of operators is only required for Sealing/Unsealing[2]. In essence - There is a cluster of servers that can lose members, and the other members retain access to the "Master Secret". Members can part and rejoin without the "Master Secret" being lost, and will automatically distribute the secret back to those that have rejoined, if they're still included in the cluster and have their own private key. These few servers do require manual rebooting to access their private key again, but there's enough redundancy in the cluster that they can simply be rebooted during normal operator hours.

The threat model is that you will not be able to break in to a datacenter and physically suborn a server before being caught, but you might be able to walk away with a server or plug in a new one with old leaked secrets.

"She spoke to the press anonymously which means she would not be able to benefit from the press coverage in any way"

People who have a bone to pick sometimes want to slam a spot just for the sake of slamming them if they felt burnt - rightly or wrongly.

I assert she didn't care because if a person truly had principles they wouldn't take hush money ... they would just speak their mind. If you take hush money, and then try to reneg on the agreement you instantly become untrustworthy in my books.

She did it anon because she thought she would have gotten away with slinging mud, when she got caught she came out to the public and tries to play a sympathy card about how she was 5 months pregnant.

Sorry this is case of someone trying to have their cake and eat it too.
I’m not sure about the overall efficacy of lockdowns unless:

- The US plays along. We are likely a hotspot now, whether we go the “undertest and live in ignorance” route, or not.

- We have an effective plan for rebooting out of the lockdown. Which, until we have an effective treatment or vaccine, to me means temperature scanning in most public places imaginable, continued vigilance around disinfecting, continued limits on public gatherings, and more.
I read something saying that people with masks had been observed to take them off to eat, put them down on a dirty table, and then put them back on their face. So you should add the caveat that properly used masks always help, all else equal.
Setup fee?

Why not offer a free month. The lockin is automatic once they go through the process of setting things up.
there's a Qemu implementation that now runs on iOS, and with services like AWS Cloud9 you can get away with developing on an ipad only setup, at least for most webdevs. Sooner than later someone is going to be able to run android on this: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM

and then the gates will open to ARM heaven, once developers find a way to do their jobs on an ipad the rest of the industries follow
>Google should payout on the total impact of the bug that they measure

And what is that total impact?
It's a lottery ticket except when an event happens that you know more about than most investors.

In this case, investors are dealing with something they know nothing about - Epidemology.

When black swans happen, you can EASILY beat the market. We've known that Coronavirus was going to get this bad for months. We know the R0 rate. We know the CFR. Markets completely failed to "price coronavirus in"

Sometimes, you really can outperform the market but its only possible in situations where financial policy and monetary policy are unable to help. I see that supply chains are grinding to a halt and I know that this means the whole economy is going to be in pain.

But it's okay, keep on thinking that it's all like the lottery and see where you are in 6 months. You'll wish you were shorting the market.
I guess my parent comment was too cheeky and internet-y but I'm making a serious point here. There's an unbelievable quantity of people here on HN who recite adages about the unknowability of the future (which is good advice!), and then proceed to give very specific recommendations on how to behave in the future, and those recommendations are packed with assumptions about what the future entails. I'm sorry to pick on ttul here but the cognitive dissonance is just astounding.
Depends.

Who Google and other service providers are competing against are grayweb exploit dealers. That's the real market, and every popular site, api, and program is subject, regardless if they're on H1 or not.

Sure there's some whitehat types who'd only tell the companies directly. But the rest.... Well.
It seems pretty clear from the context of the article that the comment you quote is them denying that she ever reported being called a “feisty Latina” and a “bulldog”.

But, I'm not really sure why that matters - from the same article, it appears that she left because she was told she was not meeting some (perhaps) unknown performance plan, not because she had racist and sexist language used against her.
Whose honor? I'm honestly confused about what the argument you're making. What's dishonorable about selling discounted shares if you can't keep them?
yes, this. many other systems go down in explosive volatility, including IB, tda thinkorswim, etc and they all have their ass covered with electronic trading risk agreements but you dont hear anything about that on wsb because theyre all casual RH chunkers
The virus itself is too small to be stopped by an N95 mask.

An N95 mask stops 95% of 0.3 micron particles. But the virus itself is far smaller. Healthcare workers exposed to SARS-CoV got the disease even wearing N95s.

Mortality rates are low because hospitals are working. Intensive care beds in Italy are projected to be full in less than 10 days. You’ll see the rate grow by then.
Have you ever seen a Casper mattress?? Everything you say is provably false. Casper mattresses have a few layers of different types of foam, all packaged together in a nice fabric outer layer. If you've ever seen one, they are clearly a non-trivial construction.

It's most definitely not as simple as "cut them, and roll them for shipment."
> [H]ow much does someone care about a topic when they choose to make money by not talking about it....

She didn't choose to make money by not talking about it. She took the money, then talked about it.

It's one way of fighting back in a situation where one party is financially superior to the other.

Legally, Lambda School probably has a good case for getting the money back, but it might be unwise for them to pursue it.
On Ford it’s timing. The LKAS is read by the PCM which then relays info to the PSCM. The idea is that the steering module is fire walled by the PCM. The CCM and ABS are similar. Toyota and Lexus expose the power steering controller to the CANBUS allowing takeover attempts
K/Kdb/q seems very happy with this state of affairs, which is really strange: if they O/S'd it I could see a lot of goodwill/mindshare going their way

It's not too hard to grok: if they freed it, they'd lose money. $200,000,000 in revenue last year from Kx alone. Goodwill compared to cash, executive picks cash every time.

I have no idea what Shakti's doing, but they, too, are probably making a substantial amount of money.
> but that doesn't answer my question.

What question? You asked "how is this different from the flu" and I answered.

If you want to know why I thought you weren't taking this seriously, it's probably because you're making an ill-informed comparison with the flu. The World Health Organization has already addressed how the two diseases are different on their twitter feed.
The first line uses the passive voice. Despite that it’s a clear statement.

The main action in the other two (“we’d take” and “we can’t comment”) are active because “we” is the subject and acts on the object. A negative statement like “cannot comment” isn’t passive voice.

Also, passive aggressive doesn’t mean using the passive voice aggressively. It means assenting to some encroachment in a way that signals hidden belligerence.

Hopefully that was helpful (passive aggressive! Sorry.)
Personally i dont think that they have "won". However the mere fact they have are seriously considered as an option, is a major victory.

I invest in things that print money during a market collapse. Sure, you can argue that the USD will become worthless, but every country is being hit by this and if all currency is worthless than the best currency out of the lot is worth it.

I don't think it's apocalypse levels where money stops mattering and it's only about material goods. I'm gonna be enjoying my Yacht in two years when a vaccine is finally out because the USD will remain strong relative to competitor currencies.
That isn’t a benefit at all. Not to mention I don’t see why an employer has any less incentive to offer a plan that “screws you”.

Anyone can easily use healthcare.gov to find a plan appropriate to their needs. And you’re healthcare providers are not tied to your employer, in case you leave your job.

And any employer that doesn’t offer HSAs is really screwing their employees by not giving the option of the best investment vehicle available to Americans.

An additional benefit is your compensation gets more transparent, as you can easily see the dollar amount of the benefits you’re receiving prior to accepting job offer.

I lived (part time) in Bologna 2015-2019 and my Italian friends there, who were mostly in their 30s, by and large were childless.

I'm from Poland, where the fertility rate is also very low, but parents in their 20s are still not that uncommon in this country.
It is terrifying that people actually advocate for such authoritarian measures outside of mainland China. Every tyrant ever existed probably had at least one valid reason to justify their particular flavor of tyrannical rule. Coincidentally often it's not very difficult to find numbers that back up stripping people of their freedom, just find the right statistics.

Action-dogs: Delivering good boys to your pull requests
You should do some reading about balanced portfolios and risk tolerance. Putting everything into ETFs (you didn’t say which ones, so I’m assuming stock-based ones) is very high risk. Target date funds are good to look at since they automatically adjust risk based on your age.

Many people think this approach is not exciting, but you can see what the past week has brought for people who think like that.
However you frame it, there's always a time you start withdrawals. And if when you planned to do that coincides with a dip, of course you'll have second thoughts.
thanks for the links.

We only create an alert if there is a problem the operator can solve, otherwise there is no point in waking them up at 3 AM, so if anything our thresholds are set as loose as possible instead of as tight as possible.

However there are many instances where the operator could be alerted earlier that the machine operation is abnormal. For example the stator windings are rated for operation up to 155 degrees C but the machine is lightly loaded for a long time, the ambient temperature is normal, and the windings are 140 degrees. No alert would be generated from the stator winding temperature but something is amiss.

I think this is the case where some ML/AI/hypeword techniques might be applicable, for the controller to know that based on half a dozen variables the expected value for other variables based on past operation.
I haven’t explored what exactly it is that Finix do, so this is just shooting from the hip, but a few possibilities:

(1) It wasn’t immediately apparent without getting deep into the weeds that they competed with Stripe;

(2) Finix pivoted in a manner that caused them to compete with Stripe more directly;

(3) There was a controversy at the beginning about whether there was a conflict, and someone broke the tie and decided it wasn’t enough of a conflict to worry about, and then someone else at Sequoia gained more influence or proximity, or reconsidered something they were previously sure of, and the balance tipped in the other direction.

I work from home and our company has suspended all "non-essential" travel. The head of our division however has won an award so we are all required to go to the award ceremony in the middle of the metro. It's an industry award so people from all over the country are flying in for the event. I wasn't invited at first, too low level, but now that the big wigs have bowed out, the low level folks are being forced to go so he'll have a cheering section when he gets his award. Somehow this isn't covered by the travel ban. Normally I'd take the subway into the city but will probably drive and pay $40 for parking instead to avoid being in close proximity with so many. That won't help during the awards ceremony. There have already been confirmed cases in the metro and some schools have shutdown so while still unlikely, the chance of infection is far from zero.
It seems silly to quit over this with things being in the risk limbo they are now but it also seem reckless to require employees to show up to watch you get an award that could be easily mailed to you. Wonder if I can get workman's compensation if I get sick.
It seems pretty clear she violated the NDA. And I'd imagine she was the one who reached out to the journalist, not the other way around.
I'll claim no membership among "enthusiasts", but either way, the most glorious lube for me is Ballistol. Good on nearly everything, including that mentioned. To me, since childhood, WD-40 has always had a loathsome aroma. I first discovered it, as a youth, in my pa's garage, where I'd spray it over the flame of my lighter to excessive satisfaction, and onto many things with minimal discretion. Always made me nauseous, combustion or not.

I have almost acquired an affection for the scent of Ballistol, which is marketed as having "No Carcinogens", but does quite well on the many things that are and ain't (carcinogenic). I sincerely recommend it.
So, once you find someone you like, why not just contract off-app?
I actually leave my monitor off UPS intentionally. While I'm away, I'd rather my workstation survive a brownout or short loss of power and if I'm actively working, it's easy enough to move the monitor's power cable to the UPS to save my work and shut down. My CPU draws ~45W at idle; my monitor draws a whopping 130W — having it on battery materially shortens the off-AC runtime.
"Free market" doesn't mean "no government regulation". It means that the market responds purely to supply and demand. Government regulation can distort the response of supply and demand, but so do monopolies and lack of information parity between buyers and sellers. From what I've been reading here, the trade halts help prevent a situation where prices are effectively unknown because there are not enough buyers. Such a system is not a "free market" because information is not communicating between buyers and sellers. It sounds like the timeout helps people who want to buy stop panicking and discover what price they are willing to buy. Effectively it gives time for price information to get transmitted across the system. This actually helps restore free market. (Other government regulation, like trust-busting can also have this effect.)
Contracts are re-negotiated all the time when circumstances change. Just consider this case: Lambda School paid their head of career services some money to be rid of her under the condition that she keep silent because they didn't consider her trustworthy. Now it turns out that every last bad rumour you head about Lambda School is in fact true, so this person feels that she should keep the money because you can't penalize someone for speaking the truth. We are back at the negotiating table because public opinion is justifiably very much against Lambda School.
Huh, that actually looks kinda suspicious. Reuters has an article up [1] quoting an amazon VP about the launch, so it seems like the info is legit.

But i don't see any link to this justwalkout.com from anywhere on amazon.com, justwalkout doesn't pull in any content hosted on amazon.com, the reuters article doesn't reference it, and all the other tech blogs talking about this seem to just be referencing the reuters article.
