You're going to need to cite a source because there's no chance anyone remotely educated would make that statement.
a channel in this case is a set of friends who are on one common preshared key (and a hopping set of frequencies). So each mesh only cares about (or even sees) packets on that mesh.

Lora is quite a slow bitrate protocol (but it has _great_ range and super low power needs). So we are focusing on our smaller use-case at first (in the interest of speed of development and stability for users)

I expect your school will have prepared materials for such an eventuality.

Your daughter should be given long youtube playlists of online lessons, homework assignments, scheduled interactive video lessons, etc.

As a parent, all you really need to do is check your daughter is actually doing what the school is providing. The threat of detention doesn't work so well at home when you can just claim the internet broke and that's why you haven't showed up to an online lesson or submitted an assignment...

https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/2079

The simple usage of passing a component to a component, which almost every decently-sized project will make use of, has no convenient syntax, only workarounds:

// parent.svelte
<script>
import Nested from './nested.svelte'
import Child from './child.svelte';
</script>
<Child>
<div slot="bar"> <-- Extra wrapper DOM node
<Nested foo="Foo"/>
</div>
</Child>

// child.svelte
<slot name="bar" {...data}/>

Passing down an element as a prop requires separating the component constructor and its data and manually re-conciliating the two in the child component every time, since components can't be rendered from functions. It works but it's unnecessary boilerplate.

// parent.svelte
<script>
import Nested from './nested.svelte';
import Child from './child.svelte';
</script>
<Child nested={Nested} nestedData={{ foo: "Foo" }}/>

// child.svelte
<script>
let export Component;
let export componentData;
</script>
<Component {...componentData}/>

> wanting to point to things that work well

Which is more inline with normal HN content. Pointing to some technical thing which works well we can integrate into our coding/startups/etc.. In this case it happens to be a non-open source subscription business replacement for coding your own search, so it's very commercial, of course, but paid off the shelf solutions are technically an alternative to coding your own search with open source stuff.

I never once mentioned the electoral college. That's not even part of this discussion.
They vacillated many weeks and they even claimed they had done away with the term/classification of “pandemic” in favor of some word soup.
Again, that's great and I understand that (I've studied Japanese), but that's only part of the new version. They're not adding pictures of "mousetrap" and "olives" and "toilet plunger" because any existing language needs to write these.

Furthermore, I'm really starting to question the way CJK is encoded. We don't make every English word a separate codepoint. 97% of these CJK ideographs are just different combinations of the same few radicals. Korean seems especially weird, as they have both individual radicals and every precomposed triple (in a block that's been rearranged once or twice, on the basis that nobody was really using it yet). I'm not saying we should nix all precomposed Hanzi/Kanji, exactly, because that's a very convenient way for programs to handle text, but it seems like this system is becoming increasingly awkward for non-western languages.

I feel there's a fundamental flaw when our "universal" text encoding system can't handle the regular creation of new words in a well-understood way, for languages spoken by 1/3rd of the world's population. It's like we're issuing hardware patches for a software problem.
"falling behind academically" makes sense only if she alone is taking a leave. If whole school is closed then she is keeping with the school. In a 70 year lifetime, taking at worse 3 months of holidays won't affect anyone in life. She'll have a more severe scar if she infects anyone who struggles for life.

With internet and access to online courses find something that helps her self study and improve upon the existing knowledge/skills. Follow the instructions from school.
Sony skipped last E3 and also this one. They did not like the new direction the event was supposedly taking. Geoff Keighley also decided to not do his E3 Coliseum show that he used to host for multiple years.

I am not sure about that; like you said, you can't google your way out of those problems when they arise.
Following organized, rational procedure is exactly what is needed in times of widespread panic. If the WHO based their decisions such as this one on emotions like fear or intuition then they really would be damaging their credibility. Let's be honest, if countries hadn't been enforcing proper procedures to this point, how likely is it that a label by the WHO would make that much of an impact to governments?
I love the idea, I think it's Really Clever.

I can't wait for mobile support, although I noticed the plan is for Firefox users and I'm still stuck on Chrome.

I think a neat feature would be to group multiple sites together for a single individual. For example, following a web comic and connecting that with the artist's Twitter, as a single item.

I'm curious as to whether it keeps track of which items I've seen or whether it only has a staleness measure
>80% of all cases are still in China.

That's impossible to know. We have no idea how many cases there are in the US, because we're not doing a significant amount of testing here, because our government is incompetent and unprepared for this.
> I’m terrified about my daughter’s school closing and her and other students severely falling behind academically

I wouldn't worry too much. The evidence from prior natural experiments show that unexpected interrupted school years[1] has no persistent effects into adulthood.

> If you're not trying to be snarky avoid stuff like "dalliance for tech bros lighting money on fire"

Haha, that's fair. To be clear, I believe remote work is generally more productive and represents the future of most knowledge work. I was trying to put words into the mouth of an imaginary conservative executive who is afraid to go the remote path there.
I got this from OP:

> This should have been done way earlier

Not what you're sayin.
This is really cool! I'm working with a customer support team and getting the right amount of staffing was always a challenge. To really reliably have good support with low wait times for 95% of the time, you'd end up being overstaffed by quite a bit for >50% of the time.

In addition, just communicating with everyone about shifts and managing the people-side was also a challenge, and there never felt to be super-specialized tools for this.

Accurate staffing seems like precisely the kind of problem that good data and modeling could solve. Good communication is something that good UI design could solve too. I'm excited to see how this works!

> any violence is ultimately going to be carried out by humans for social reason

Every interaction with another human falls under the label of "social", the word ceases to mean anything when used to describe everything, abusing that rhetorical ambiguity to equate tweets on the internet with civil order enforced by armed agents of the state is absurd.

> While these online outrage mobs are, as yet, nowhere near as powerful as governments

Correct, not even close, and never will be in any conceivable future. The idea that a twitter mob could somehow ever be comparable in power to a government demonstrates a serious disconnection from reality and the power that governments exercise over their people all around the world and all through the annals of history.

> I am, among other things; at-will employment has always seemed unreasonable to me,

So what are you proposing?

> It's popular to say "asshole isn't a protected class", but as far as I can see the whole rationale for protected classes applies just as strongly to those who have said legal but unpopular things.

An asshole is not a "class" of people, it's a behavioral disposition. Nobody needs to be an asshole. The social advantages of being an asshole come with the consequences of people not wanting to interact with you.

My point being: some Internet rando making claims about WHO's credibility is only worth that much.

In the instantaneous moment, yes.

But there's a reason one measures derivatives, and that's why people are concerned.

Doesn't look like anyone is tracking "pandemics" formally. WHO.int is tracking public health emergencies of international concern, which appear to include epidemics with pandemic potential as well as outbreaks with pandemic potential and extremely egregious likelihood of permanent harm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Health_Emergency_of_Int...

But from what I could dig up, the last widely accepted pandemic declaration was the H1N1 2009.

The two current pandemics include HIV/AIDS and COVID-19.

There is a list of epidemics, but that list also includes localized or regional matters rather than just global-scale pandemics, and not all of them may amount to PHEICs.
I think VSTs pass native resources to the plugin. However, there are VSTs without GUIs, but this says nothing about what other APIs a VST may use.

I imagine there might be some VSTs that don't use a GUI that can run.
I’m unsure about this meta analysis because it’s presumably based on AA publications.

The thing is That numerous prior AA publications have treated “falling off the wagon” or missing one of the steps to mean that you weren’t doing AA properly, and so they dont report it as a failure.

Essentially they end up getting close to just filtering out all the treatment failures, which inflates their success rate.

Red Hat is about 50% remote, and was plenty profitable before being acquired by IBM last year.

If she's not in high school I wouldn't worry too much. I essentially missed half of third grade, all of 4th and 5th grade and half of 6th grade, and by 8th-90th grade I was pretty much caught up completely without even a real catch up program. A lot of the stuff your learn at that age simply becomes trivial or at least much much easier just from getting older. In that case, I'd just give her some puzzles to solve or something.

If she is in high school the only answer is probably a bunch of "homework", good books on the subject, and there are also hundreds of video courses online.
Fantastic! I will be playing with this. I have to know though: where's the original knight interviewer video?! Happens at 3m55s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgA4GzRsldI&t=3m55s
Try telling people many if not most large organizations and elite politicians are corrupt.

They can't handle reality. Cattle, to be cliché.
They mean that SARS type 2 is a pandemic. COVID-19 looks like a JIRA ticket to me.
WHO is a complete joke, from praising China's lack of a response as ground-breaking and refusing to label this thing as a Pandemic until now. Trust in institutions is at an all time low because these institutions perform so poorly that most people dismiss them entirely (even if the advice is sound). I hope the world will learn it's lessons from this outbreak, so at least we can react faster next time.
"Falling behind" what? Even if she and her peers have to repeat a school year because classes don't happen for a long time, which would be quite extreme, what would be the issue with that?
It's called an analogy. It functions similarly to an electrical circuit breaker because it disables systems before things go fully haywire/bad, it helps devs understand the concept by using familiar things

According to this dashboard, there are 40k infected outside of China vs 80k inside, and the 40k number is still growing exponentially. It’s just a matter of days until we have more cases outside of China.

Yesterday I had the sudden realization that the US Republican Party is likely to be disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, but also seems to be avoiding taking precautions to prevent the spread.

Mortality and impacts seem to hit people over 50 the hardest, and that is where a majority of the Republican supporters come from.

It would be a curious footnote to have COVID-19 swing an election.

Cruises mostly get more expensive towards the date of departure, so booking in advance is the thing to do if your ability to take the time for a cruise is predictable. I have a cruise scheduled for March 2022. If a cruise price does go down it is because they overestimated demand, and cruisers will be watching for when the price of new bookings drops below the price they paid. The deposit, so far in advance, can be both tiny and fully refundable.
SARS-CoV-2 has significantly higher mortality than the flu even with top treatment.
As a parent, if you have the energy & time, a good approach can be to:

* Boast how easy school is these days.

* Wait to get told you're wrong.

* Propose a competition. Your child can pick any subject that neither of you have studied yet, and then have a race over 24 hours, 1 week, etc. to learn the material and do a multi-choice test you both agree on first.

Your child will obviously pick a subject they're good at, and you'll probably loose. But you still made them choose to study really hard.
> please prioritise health over potential educational slowdown

My apologies - I didn’t at all mean to make it seem like I was downplaying the public health aspect. I fully understand this is likely what’s necessary and that public health comes first. That being said, it is a source of anxiety for me as someone who values academics because, for me, it was a path to a better life.
That’s not a really fair way of putting it. Unless you’re suggesting that there’s something deeply magical about our human “aesthetic” intuition why can’t that itself be coded into a set of syntactic indicators (e.g., favor short equations, don’t repeat yourself, connecting theorems otherwise far from each other in some distance metric is valuable) to be used as a search heuristic?
Right. And from my interpretation dang wanted to clarify that not only they didn't touch that, they also keep away from such submissions in other ways.
Given what I know about the nature of this disease, and the american response thus far, I don’t think this is true. It is looking very likely that the health system is going to be overloaded in the US. This is what people working in hospitals are telling me and it makes sense to me given the information that’s out there.
How to manage omni-channel communication between customers and internal teams?
I have been interviewing 10+ Customer Success people these days. And I found that the combination of omni-channels and different teams' responsibilities can create a fragmented customer experience. For example, a customer sometimes email Support team about a feature that Customer Success may identify as upsell opportunity. A customer can also text Customer Success/ Account Managers for more responsive troubleshooting. Then CS has to direct to Support team and be the middle person to communicate the progress and chasing dev team for fixing. In the meanwhile, CS needs to call/ email/ message customer side for update. Sometime, it may involve more than one stakeholder from customer's company side say senior management and junior user if issue is serious.

To me, it sounds like the collaboration and communication across omni-channels between customers and different internal teams are very fragmented. Back in Hong Kong, my previous POS startup creates Whatsapp group for each customer account including users, sales, support to deliver responsive answers and skip the message directing process. But I feel like that's not an organized way to do.

I wonder how's your experience in your company? And how do you manage it?
That's what skeptics in Italy were originally saying. Now people in Lombardy are dying from strokes because hospitals can't admit them because ICU is overrun by Covid-19 patients. Sure, if you break your leg and die from bleeding out because all local hospitals are busy treating bilateral pneumonia patients you technically didn't die from Covid-19, but ....
They didn't base their decision on the observed growth curve. Anyone looking at the data could have called this a pandemic the moment it left Asia.

The WHO and CDC botched this. Because of their messaging a lot of people (the majority of people!) didn't take this virus seriously, and that is going to result in real human lives lost.
YouTube videos are great for some resources, but they aren't a substitute for a competent teacher.

Fun thing to think about: there are videos that measurably improve students' performance on a task, but students rate those videos as "confusing" and "not helpful". The videos that students do like? They have zero effect.

Much of the article is about the democratic food changes brought about by Claus Meyer, Noma's original owner and the one who recruited Rene Redzepi for the original concept (and eventually sold Noma to Redzepi).

The marketing video for it has an Intel "CPU" animation so guessing this will be a "real" device?

This comment is a great example of the ignorance we face.
