If the public health authority that they're within the jurisdiction of says closing wont help, then it seems weird to say it's a "screw the consequences" move. More of a "we've been told there wont be consequences" move.

Depends what you’re making. At my last job and for my current project (both had a graphics component), vector math means you don’t need to go looking for somebody to help when things get tough. It’s nice to be the guy/gal people turn to for help. You don’t have to be though unless it’s a very tiny startup where there isn’t anybody to turn to
Ohh, if he was actively looking for a loss then he might've been on the hook with some bad people who were lending him the money and he was laundering them. You see, laundering is all about loss and looking bleak in the eyes of IRS (or equivalent). In the end he might not been an active asshole but just another victim.

I don't completely agree with most developers on this question. I can't respond properly now but i recently wrote a lengthly comment[1] on a blog post that was posted here on HN on this topic.

Right, but with ice, the mechanics are pretty simple: heat gets in and warms stuff up, and its behavior is predictable. OTOH, reviews are "free data", but you don't know whether it's a real review or a fake review. If you decide incorrectly (eg. believing the fake reviews over the real ones), you would end up in a worse position than you started out with.
The Reason Behind Today's Unprecedented VIX Move
Shooting at a target isn't killing anything, it's a competition the same as golf or basketball or archery. People who collect firearms commonly keep them in a display case like vintage toys or sports memorabilia; it's like arguing that the sole purpose of a baseball signed by Babe Ruth is to play catch with. In many cases people manufacture firearms for the exclusive purpose of making a political statement about the ease of doing so (e.g. with a 3D printer) and the manufactured product is never actually intended to be used.

If you want some economic evidence of purpose other than killing, notice that the vast majority of firearms are never actually used to kill anyone, nor do their owners desire to kill anyone with them. Then explain how their owners nonetheless derived enough value from them to justify paying hundreds to thousands of dollars for them.

> People assault for sport too.

Assault is already, independently illegal.

A law against killing people with guns is redundant (killing people is already illegal), but a law against not killing people with guns is incoherent, so what evil is left to prohibit that isn't already illegal?

> And people would make all kinds of illegal things for craftsmanship if they could.

But they can, that's sort of the point. Since individuals can manufacture them on their own regardless, isn't it better that they be available to the people who follow the law and not just the people who don't?

> Store of value seems particularly like a stretch.

There seem to be a fair number of second hand firearms dealers who make their living from it.
He had his demons - for a long time he struggled with his sexuality and acceptance of it. Hence the drugs and excessive weight-lifting.
This article says `readfile` would return the number of bytes read. It seems like it would be better for it to return the number of bytes in the file, but only write at most `bufsize` bytes into the buffer. That way, if the buffer isn't big enough, you can allocate a correctly-size buffer without needing to `stat` the file. This is how `snprintf` works.
I’ve never seen anything like that. I can’t see it to be a business need, although it would be neat to see. Much more pressing is the need for good sales/CRM software, which is being addressed by many companies at the moment. Lots of growth still to be had there.

Automatic and connected moisture sensors are definitely a big thing, and I’m sure that large growing operations have all kinds of tools in their belt.

Most of the small growers I work with seem to run things by feel and by spending large amounts of time in the vineyard day after day.
Plaid's API, and probably other similar APIs, already returns broad categories when you query bank or card transactions.
Hi there, great product! I'm with a nonprofit edtech writing tool that uses both spaCy and AllenNLP, and we've found AllenNLP's models to be more accurate for tasks like co-reference resolution. AllenNLP's models are built on top of spaCy and tools like neural coref. It'd be great if we could harness things like AllenNLP's semantic role labeling.
So they jacked up the prices from high (few people can buy) to infinity (nobody can buy). How's that a good thing?
I thought this was about how dating models has helped many high-achievers cope with stress.
If the problem is slow switching between user space and kernel space, why not have a syscall that allows you to batch process multiple syscalls?

It might work like this: user space allocates a buffer, fills it with syscall numbers and arguments, then passes it to the kernel. The kernel executes each syscall in series, placing the return values in the array originally containing arguments. This syscall would not return to user space until all syscalls in the buffer are processed.

Does this idea have any potential?
This study estimated the case fatality rate (CFR, deaths among those presenting symptoms) and infection fatality rate (IFR, deaths among all who tested positive) of infected passengers on the Diamond Princess: https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/severity/diamond_crui...

CFR was estimated at 2.3% and IFR at 1.2%, reflecting that roughly half of infections were asymptomatic. The downside is that the median age of passengers was 58, so it's not truly representative of CFR for all ages. (That's why people are still using data from China; the cruise ship isn't demographically representative.)

You also need to consider that 15% of cases are serious, and may require mechanical ventilation. If medical systems are overwhelmed, it will go up. We saw that in Wuhan.

Are you willing to take a bet on what fraction of guns sold to civilians have been used in a homicide?

If you’re going to insist on a teleological argument, you might as well use the same standard we use for other tools: how people actually end up using them. No rational person describes knives as “tools to stab people” even though this is part of the historical basis for their development. Instead, the vast majority of knives are used to cut food or spread butter or open boxes. Indeed, these are all more plausible descriptions of what a knife is “for”, just like target shooting or hunting food is a much more plausible description of what guns are for.
They haven't mentioned that this new covid-19 virus infects the top part of the lungs which makes transmission much more easier as opposed to SARS which infected the inner part of the lungs and hence required more effort to transmit it.

> It's more so that anyone can join the network as a host. They don't have to have a financial or business relationship with anyone, they can just provide their storage service and charge for it. No way to do that currently in the world without a blockchain.

Maybe I misunderstand your point, but I could certainly install MinIO (a S3 compatible object store) on a home NAS and charge people for it without using a blockchain. I see your point about not having a financial or business relationship with a blockchain network acting as an intermediary, but I can assure you that the IRS and various law enforcement and regulatory agencies would tell you that you absolutely do have a financial and business relationship with whoever is paying you via the crypto-network whether you'd like to or not.

If someone buys the increased price it obviously means they couldn't find it in brick and mortar.

Also the world supply is short and no amount of lawmaking will materialize more masks. There's not enough masks for everyone and there won't be any time (very) soon, plain and simple. It takes a factory, not a lawmaker to increase the supply.

Not having a gun puts your life at risk, if you encounter a deadly threat beyond your ability to defend against.

For 110 pound woman this might be a large man who wants to rape her, or for a 200 pound man capable of reasonable self-defense this might mean somebody attempting to rob him at knife point.
If you're in the developed world, that isn't going to fly. "other buildings won't burn down" isn't going to get you a pass on these things.
And why is that a bad thing? A mask would have much greater utility in a west coast city than in some rural town in the midwest.

I like netlify but it's weird how little them seem to do. They released analytics like a year ago and it's had almost no improvement/progress, lots of people on the forums clamoring for more and it just seems to fall on deaf ears.

I paid for the per-site analytics for a few months, the server side analytics means it captures much more of the traffic than client-side GA style, but the metrics available were just too basic for any real commercial use.

Depends on what level of math you’re talking about. Math is nothing but a bunch of (fairly) basic algorithms (often expressed declaratively, rather than imperatively) for solving problems in the real world. Sometimes you also have fancy data structures like vectors and objects like polygons and what not. If one is solving problems in the physical world, that is super useful. It like a compiler which ensures that you will not make (a bunch of) simple conceptual mistakes, and will make several ideas obvious (I often see programmers spending time on iteratively refining heuristics when either 1. Math tells you a good answer 2. Math tells you the problem is ill-defined and impossible to answer). I would consider it even more primary than a course in data structures and algorithms. In other domains like front end design, an aesthetic sense and understanding of colors and typography might be more important. So math is always useful (adds some value), it’s just a question of where it comes on the list of priorities. Math can be picked up with domain experience, just like software dev skills, or whatever else. And specialization is a thing — one can choose to develop skills selectively. Someone building CRUD apps might not give a damn about mastering coordinate geometry, and someone working in robotics might instead not give a damn about mastering category theory (generically). YMMV, and it’s meaningless to try and “settle” this question. The answers depends very much on the specific set of problems/experiences you consider. So the answers are only going to tell you about the distribution of people on HN (who might bother to answer a question like this); refer Wittgenstein’s ruler.

If you feel FOMO for a topic, consider spending some time with it (whatever the subject). Otherwise, carry on blissfully. I would consider many other topics as important, but we all have limited time. C’est la vie.
But the construction of it ??! It's one thing to put the numbers down, we know they round out nicely, but in my head this needs a very minute level of construct engineering..

For example: If 1 gear(cog?) is 1/1000 of a cm out, would that not effect the ratio over this 'distance' ?

Edit: I might just sound like an idiot right now, but when we get down (or up) to these numbers, i can't help but feel manufacturing numbers play a bigger role
So what you’re saying is, the real problem is that Americans are just a violent bloodthirsty lot.

Maybe the rest of the world should stop telling Americans to control gun ownership (ie ”ban guns”, despite nobody ever suggesting a total ban) and instead we should be promoting control of Americans (ie. “ban Americans”, although nobody would suggest a total ban. I’m sure zoos would want some).
Arms companies (aka defense contractors) profit from war, should they not exist? What about pharmaceutical companies that profit from sickness?
Well, I know many minorities who carry guns to protect themselves. Both racial minorities and sexual minorities (LGBT+).

Racism and police violence are real problems that need to be addressed, but taking away guns is not the solution.
I've been blind drunk in Milwaukee. I was attending the Naval training center just South.

More testing != useful testing.

The fact that Georgia and Oregon are testing at virtually equivalent rates is what's wrong.

I feel like ~50/day is an appropriate number for GA. I feel like ~50/day is not an appropriate number for Oregon (sandwiched in-between Washington and California).

The federal goverent should be doing a stronger job of quarterbacking this to allocate scarce resources.

If Oregon needs surge capacity of testing labs across the Midwest, then by god make that happen.

Some amount of testing likely needs to happen in every state in order to prevent panic, but the most resources should flow towards the places with the most known infections.

In the spreadsheet view, do users need to upload labels as a text file to then assign them to items? I work with Quill.org, a nonprofit edtech tool that helps students improve their writing skills, and we do a lot of labeling work now where we may need to assign say one of 20 labels to 1,000 responses at a time. I uploaded some sample data, but didn't understand how I could quickly assign labels to my content. Please let me know if I'm missing something here.

They might not have been able to find it at the brick and mortar because their neighbour bought out all the stock to sell on eBay.

Brick and mortar stores generally won't raise prices under these circumstances despite the scarcity, because it might create a long term negative reputation even if they can get a bit more profit in the short term. So there's an opportunity for arbitrage that eBay no longer facilitates.
DuckDuckGo actually does a better job of indexing all of my blog posts than Google does. I discovered this when attempting to use Google to search for one of my blog posts using a domain specific query("site:myblog.com") and was unable to find the post I was searching for. However, I was able to easily find my blog post using the same query on DuckDuckGo. This made quite an impression on me as it was the first chink in Google's armor that I've seen.

Honestly, it doesn't make much difference.
Datacenters built for random corporations often only have connectivity to the local ILEC or MSO which is going to get you pretty poor pricing.
The best thing that can happen in an emergency is to let sellers increase prices. When gas is scarce, let the price of gas go up. This signals to people that they should carefully ration the supplies that exist, and only let the people willing to pay the most get it. Supply and demand solves the problem itself.

When you arbitrarily constrain prices, you make people wait in lines and clever entrepreneurs stock up to sell at inflated rates on the black market. Terrible policy!
The age of the South Korean church members was largely in 20s and 30s. The cruise ship crew was a large portion of total affected and few were over 65 where the big risk kicks in, and on top of that immune compromised people don’t go on cruises.
My choice to use personal anecdotes to try to elucidate the problem was not intended to turn this into a personal discussion about my life.

There are tons of aggregate statistics out there about how men generally make more money, disproportionately take up top positions in corporations, etc. Iirc, only 17% of people in the C suite are female. Less than 5 percent of S&P 500 have a female CEO.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/09/female-ceos-are-scarce-but-h...

So when you turn it into a personal question, no doubt trying to be sincerely helpful, that kind of implies it's some kind of personal problem and I must be doing something wrong. It inadvertently implies it's not really a societal level issue.

And I think people generally tend to do that to women and women -- including me -- tend to go along with that and reply in kind and it leads to women giving out an excess of personal information and feeling like they are being treated dismissively, etc. It also quickly gets into muddy water territory where it isn't clear what kind of relationship this is supposed to be.

And that's where that private-public framing is helpful to me personally. It helps me to remember that most people aren't behaving with malice aforethought and aren't trying to force me into a particular role. They just respond to a combined set of social signals in a way that seems appropriate at the moment without connecting it to the larger context and it just happens to keep those patterns alive that invisibly exclude women from money and power to a large degree.

Declining to post that first draft I tend to write that actually answers all those personal questions and, instead, turn the discussion back to "the issues" and aggregate data has been helpful for me.

Maybe someday those larger patterns will change. In the mean time, having a tool for figuring out where things went wrong without screaming about sexism on an overwhelmingly male forum has been better than not having it.

I wish this were true but instantly I think tobacco, alcohol and gambling. Also where do you draw the line? Should Walmart be able to charge so much to a struggling single mom who has to choose between eating herself and feeding her baby? There is no easy solutions to this but I ultimately think big corporations try and maximize their profits at any cost every single day and no one says Walmart or whoever sells these masks should sell them at cost.
If you are replying to clients like that then I am glad you have a lawyer.
