Soaking is not enough to remove phytohaemagglutinin. Phytohaemagglutinin is destroyed by sufficient cooking, which according to the FDA's food safety book[0] means boiling for 30 minutes. Slow cookers do not get hot enough. And it's not just kidney beans; many other beans also contain phytohaemagglutinin, sometimes at dangerous levels.

I'd say we're well past that point. I gave up ages ago and just spam throwaways now. Dang says it undermines the sense of community when people do that, I think the community already does a fine job of undermining itself.
Right, although the news out of Italy is that young healthy adults are ending up in the "bad pneumonia, need hospitalization" bucket nearly (but not quite) as much as older patients. They just have a much better prognosis with hospital interventions, because once they're ventilated or on oxygen for a while their immune system can reliably clear the virus, while with 80+ year olds or folks with pre-existing conditions it starts running amuck and causes ARDS or multiple organ failure. Overload the hospital system and the death rate jumps for healthy young adults as well - this happened in Wuhan and is now happening in Italy and Iran, and is why you see videos on the Internet of middle-aged adults dead in their bed from coronavirus.
Disclosure: I am the lead developer for the team that builds the 1Password CLI.

You're completely right about the use-case there. One of the things I think we missed the mark on was choosing to expose the full item JSON structure as the default. I think it is important that access to the full item is available, but I think it would have been a much better user experience if we had abstracted that in the default case.

What you've pointed out here is what we are currently working on addressing. Development of the CLI was put on hold for over a year while development of our SCIM bridge was ongoing (they're built on the same codebase). In the past few months, we have ramped up the entire team, and movement has accelerated greatly on the CLI. This is feedback we're well aware of, and we're working hard to address it.

> 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.

Do you have a citation for that?

If you're correct, this interpretation is to be verging on Constitution-as-a-suicide-pact territory, and the Constitution should be amended or the opinion changed to correct the flaw, and allow suspension of those rights during serious epidemics.

I don't get any such redirects with Techcrunch.

But if the ability to see a site without compromising my defenses is the bar (and I'm not convinced it should be), then there are a whole lot of other sites that should be banned as well. For instance, I can't view most Medium links... (Edit: I was corrected on the Medium thing, so that's no longer a ferinstance.)
That's misleading. The Feds state that they've sent several hundred thousand tests to private labs and hospitals which do not report their figures directly to CDC. They don't know how many have been used at this point (which is bad, but not as bad as them not sending out hundreds of thousands of tests).

"Earlier on Tuesday, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said he couldn’t provide the figure. “We don’t know exactly how many because hundreds of thousands of our tests have gone out to private labs and hospitals that currently do not report in to CDC,” he said in a CNN appearance."

What gave you that idea? This thread was clearly about someone building a local PC. There's no reason to assume that'd be a server chip?

But even in the server world go look up any comparison of Epyc Rome vs. Intel Xeon and you'll still struggle to find a reason to go Intel. The Epyc 7742 is in a league of its own at this point.
Do you not expect GLSL -> WGSL compilers in actual practice? I don't think anybody using Three.JS today would switch to writing WGSL unless they could also ingest it on WebGL.
That's actually not a bad strategy in a selfish sense, assuming that the virus grows otherwise normally. Obviously, the problem is that if everyone did it we'd be looking at the apocalyptic worst case extreme! Everyone would be sick simultaneously and have to endure the virus with no health care resources at all.

The more practical problem is that the growth is exponential, so the window between "no one has it, it's safe to get it now" and "everyone has it, mass quarantine" is just a few weeks. Add to that that the virus has a 5-6 day incubation period and it basically doesn't work. Statistically, by the time you know someone sick from whom you can infect yourself, the number of people with still-incubating cases (who are AHEAD of you in the "queue"!) is probably enough to overwhelm health care facilities anyway.

Don't do this.

Google doesn't exactly do it for fun, but I'm sure it isn't a significant source of revenue. Given that most corporate conferences are essentially about marketing, the incentive is to be break-even, or even run at a loss. That's very different than people trying to make a living from an event.

Do you have kids? Older parents? Would you tell them that is totally fine to keep doing what they are doing just because the experts haven't assessed the risk yet?

It doesn't have to be a literal mass-extinction event for this type of thing to lead to some catastrophic events affecting people you know and care about. If it were to happen (I honestly hope it doesn't) to someone you care about, I am sure that "the experts told me things were fine" will be of little consolation.

How about dropping the sarcasm and word-thinking and start to put some thought into the questions I made regarding the WHO recommendations up until some weeks ago? I bet if you could go back in time to Italy just three weeks ago, you wouldn't be telling people to just "listen to the experts", would you?
My personal hope is that your hosting provider would offer a solution that's configurable during deployment.

Then we could undoubtedly abstract this into something and deal with it at deploy time.

> What you are describing is politics, nothing to do with the standards itself.

Standards are about convincing a large group of people to do something for the common good, sometimes going against their most direct best interests. Nearly a textbook definition of the word "politics".

> They are used in space other than the Web.

Yeah, the tiny, borderline non-existent space that is outside of: desktops, phones, tablets, web, email, collaboration, digital cameras, desktop publishing, or just about any mass-market use of computing you care to name that involves imaging.

The only usage of a JPEG standard other than the original JPEG I'm aware of is JPEG 2000. It has some niche uses for digital movie distribution to cinemas. Not streaming, not cable. Cinemas. Only.

According to Wikipedia, I missed a few uses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000#Applications

I suspect a few of those uses are actually out-of-date now and have been superseded by more modern codecs.

Flip through that very short list and explain to me how the current "politics" of imaging standards bodies has succeeded, because I just don't see it.
By appealing to pathos aka emotions. Most intelligent people resent this style of persuasion.

Your parents are on death's doorstep as is everyone in their later years. It may be more meaningful to figure out what experiences you'd like to share with them in the limited time you have left instead of trying to prolong their existence at the cost of straining the relationship.

In other words don't put off whatever you might potentially regret not having done if they were to pass away suddenly - with each passing day, the inevitable conclusion every human being shares only draws closer.
Yeah, it's not a very good computer-to-computer format. No bytes type. No integer type. No Any->Any maps. Being bad at something doesn't automatically make you good at something else, and JSON is no exception. It's bad at everything except being popular.

You have to look at JSON in a historical context to understand it. It exists so that someone could get some data into their Javascript program with "eval". It was then standardized so that you didn't need a full Javascript engine to understand it, because Python and Perl and Ruby didn't have one, and it turned out that evalling random data from the Internet was a security disaster. Does that make it a good human-readable config file? Nope. Does that make it a good interface definition language? Nope.

It exists because it got popular early, and now we're stuck with it. Now it's too late to apply band-aids to make it a human-readable config language or a good computer-to-computer interchange format, because you will always have old parsers around and people will naturally want to target those. Trust me, 99% of developers will moan when you tell them that they have to use GRPC+Protos to access your API. They will be equally mad about your JSON extension that has comments and integers in it, because the dialect of Brainfuck they use for all their projects doesn't have a library that supports those extensions and their editor can't syntax-highlight it or autoformat it.

I would like to give you a solution to this problem, but there isn't one. JSON "won", but it's bad at everything except being well-understood. That seems to be all that people really care about.
If I'm to believe random comments on /r/CoronaVirus by people claiming to be working in healthcare (or related to such people), in Italy, they're not testing everyone in ICUs anymore, as there's little point or time (high prevalence of disease, completely saturated medical system). This implies the number of cases there is going to be underreported.

Also note RE today's Italy stats - they're only partial, Lombardy (i.e. the region with most cases) isn't counted in yet.
unfortunate in an understatement.

First the software, then the hardware: This is the ultimate lock-in.

Cognitive load. A readable dataformat is easy to understand, binary is not readable. The thing is standards for formats get broken all the time, and a broken CSV files is usually easier to fix than a non-standard binary format.

Docker? Build it as a system (RPM/DEB) package? Man, my life would be difficult if I just flat out refused to use packages for PHP/Python/Ruby requiring native extensions because it required some minimal effort on my part to deploy it.

I'm talking about both work tasks, and personal. Surprisingly I can get through assigned work tasks typically without issue. It is the tasks that I set out for myself that I have a problem with. Which fits in with why I'm primarily in a systems administration / engineering role -- I can pull on my decades of experience to solve tasks readily, however whenever I have to do a programming / design related task (which I can be fairly good at), I can't pull that off consistently. I can only do that if it is an area I'm not familiar enough with, where I can trick myself into thinking that it isn't that big of a project. But if I end up going down the wrong path and have to start over, then I fall apart and can't even think about working on it anymore. Or if I get a basic system developed (MVP), I find it difficult to work on improvements because the list of things I can do is never ending.

For my non-work related projects (open source software, home system builds, woodworking, 3D modeling) I wish I could hire a project manager to oversee my work on them. (would that be a variation of hiring a life coach?)
JSON doesn't use floating point numbers, it uses signed decimal numbers. It's perfectly valid to store a number in JSON that isn't representable in a n-bit IEEE 754 floating point number.
Establishing a completely parallel privatized set of epidemic response infrastructure, from scratch, with no official capacity/color of law/official powers, in the middle of an ongoing crisis isn't exactly a plausible suggestion.

Reality is there's effectively no containing it at this point, we're well past that stage of things. Get a vaccine going ASAP, sure, but it's already sweeping through the population. Official numbers are low because we don't have any meaningful quantity of testing in place. Wherever you test, you find that it's already there.

I'm not saying that to be hysterical, it's just a statement of fact. Just like my statements about how the administration has neglected and in some cases actively worsened the crisis.

It just is what it is.

You maybe could have significantly reduced it six or eight weeks ago, but back then we were in the "coronavirus is fake news by deep-state CDC to tank the economy" stage of things. Now, I guess you have mass quarantine, which Trump will also not do because that would tank the economy for real. People won't do it willingly because they need that money to pay rent and buy food, and you need to formulate a strategy for that too. Maybe Bill Gates can pay everyone's rent and grocery bills for a few months?

Best thing at this point is to do everything you can on a personal basis to prevent spread (wash your hands), protect specific vulnerable individuals (seniors, basically) from getting infected, and hope that vaccine comes real quick.

It just is what it is.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying. WASM is optional in the same way that WebGPU is optional. They both allow you to invoke code written in another language.

There's not really a good way of writing WASM without dependencies inside a browser.
Yeah, the Guardian was actually interested in the story because they were mislead by the statements of the CEO of CA and by Christopher Wylie into believing that CA was involved in a campaign for Brexit in 2016. They wanted to delegitimise the outcome of the referendum.

Funnily enough, the newspaper doesn't mention that Wylie didn't work at CA in 2016 - so he can't be considered a first hand witness or a whistleblower concerning the American presidential election or Brexit. He left in 2014 after obtaining the Facebook dataset to start his own political data consultancy, Eunoia Technologies. The company was based on the concept of micro-targeting(, which he falsely believed was a novel idea). He competed with CA for contracts unsuccessfully, and Eunoia was ultimately sued by CA for stealing clients. (This might explain why he was so willing to work with the Guardian to bring the company down.)

All of the information in the above paragraph can be found on Wikipedia, except for the parts in brackets.

You can read the report from QC Julian Malins or the ICO about the whole situation, they're found no evidence of CA retaining the data. But you can't prove a negative.
Does this count people who receive PTO that made be used as paid sick leave? If so, I'm not sure it should be counted.

A person who doesn't have any paid sick leave nor PTO they can use it place of it has to take a sick day doesn't get paid for that day. One way of thinking about it is that they do get paid, but then have to give up pay equal to what they get (and all this is calculated before tax purposes). A person who has to use a PTO day that isn't only for sick leave is giving up something with a near value equal to a day of pay. In most cases, any benefits or the like are not cut for either person, meaning they still receive some level of pay when you look at the averaged out of those benefit values over the day.

This may feel like a needless distinction, but I think it matters because when a person without paid sick leave or PTO is sick they have to weigh staying home against not making money, while a person who doesn't have paid sick leave but is allowed to use PTO has to weigh staying home against losing a day of PTO that they can't use for vacation. A person with true sick leave has no such calculation, sick leave they can only use when they are sick means they aren't giving up anything. Well, there is an argument to be made for the day's worth of experience and other such matters are still loss, which for some positions can be enough to choose to work even when there is paid sick leave.

CBOR also made a lot of changes to MessagePack making it far more complicated, both to use and to implement. I've talked about this on HN before so I'm repeating myself a bit but here's a short list:

- CBOR has two ways of encoding maps and arrays: fixed length and variable-length. This complicates decoders, especially those that would pre-allocate arrays and maps to the proper sizes, which significantly reduces decoding performance. The CBOR spec has nothing useful to say about this; it just requires you to allocate indefinitely.

- CBOR defines a canonical representation, including a key sorting order based on binary representation which is just awful. It requires multi-pass encoding which is slow, complex, error prone, and completely non-intuitive: [1,2,3] comes before 100000 which comes before [1,2,3,4].

- CBOR has more types in the core spec, ones that are extremely specific to certain applications or programming languages. It has a 16-bit float, and it has both null and undefined as separate types.

- CBOR defined a system of "tags" with a huge number of extension types. These are supposed to be optional, but of course they only work if both ends support them. Some features like BigNum are well-supported in some programming languages but not others, so CBOR implementations tend to diverge in supported message types.

CBOR as a standard is far worse than the "non-standard" MessagePack it purports to replace. Here's a great HN comment on it from another user (and another MessagePack library implementer) a few years back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14072598

It's one-way control. There is no reasonable way to implement narrative "now my filter resides in global state. Whenever component changes, it's reflected in the state.

I have hated the lack of comments so many times.

But crockfird said it was done to keep the parsing simple (and thus secure), and between seeing how XML has it, and seeing how poorly many json parsing implementations are despite this simplicity, I have begrudgingly decided to accept it. Still wish there was a way without those problems though.
> Why wouldn't the Prime Broker just force you to sell it

One, that could result in a fire sale. Freezing is safer than forcing liquidation. If your liabilities outweigh your assets, the latter are the PB's; getting pennies on the dollar instead of dimes is against their interest.

Two, the client may be able to post collateral. You don't want to lose an institutional relationship because you were trigger happy.

Three, you might have made a mistake. Freezing the position until you get your facts straight is prudent in most markets.

There are more guns in this country than there are people. The use of large scale "military force" against the population for any reason is, therefore, not a realistic proposition, by design.
I don't use 1PW for teams, but I do use it personally and use it to store all my OTPs except my OTP credential to access 1Password itself. I use a different authenticator app for that (happens to be Microsoft, but that doesn't matter really).

So, while I think it storing storing your passwords beside your OTP generator isn't great, if both are locked behind another factor of authentication, you have mitigated that risk significantly.

You call BS because the HTTP/1.1 standard calls pieces of text that contain the name of the software at the other end of the connection "comments"? (To those that didn't read the spec, it uses the word comment to refer to the values in the User-Agent, Server, and Via headers.)

It turns out these "comments" were a disaster and user agents are moving away from even providing them. You put "firefox" in the user-agent header, and web servers would read the comment and send you "your browser doesn't work" instead of the actual document. That did not make for a very compatible web... turns out comments in machine-to-machine communication are a bad idea.
