> It isn't. I've noticed that Chinese companies are even worse.

Hit the nail on the head. Everything in this thread definitely happens in the USA, but you wouldn't say it's the default modus operandi.

In China, however, almost every company operates like this.
You missed the logic here. I'll try again, but it's the third explanation. You need to ponder this.

The items A, B, C, and D are all known. (from other sources of information) They are used as an honesty test.

To make the pain stop, the only way out is to reveal E and to correctly reveal A, B, C, and D. Lying isn't going to work, because the fact that E is special is not revealed.

It isn't reasonable to guess that E is the unknown.

For $6 per month (paid yearly) you get 1tb of OneDrive + office (desktop applications). My math maybe off but if you buy office every 3 years for $200 then you're already even.... And 1TB of storage is just free really.
He links to his most recently published article, which has a perfectly understandable abstract (even if you would have to pay to read the rest.) I think he makes it perfectly clear what the objections to this were, and how those objections are inaccurate.
OK, so I haven't done much research on this particular issue, but lets say you have an issue with gynecomastia - this presents itself as a fairly obvious physical symptom. Does prolactin measurement change either your diagnosis or the intervention - eg, does it tell you anything you don't know beforehand or change how you would correct the issue?

Personally, if we're talking about single markers, I think fasting insulin is the one I would pick because it does fulfill those criteria - it gives you a 10y+ lens before other markers do on diabetic pathophysiology (which now affects 80%+ of American adults) and also give you guidance on how to treat/how effective your interventions are. The negative is that there is no home test (yet, this is being worked on by some people), so it's not as good as something that can be measured more often/continously.

Everyone who gets an annual physical/bloodwork should be getting their liver numbers (at least AST/ALT, although in the US GGT is not standard) with their CMP, although most people (clinicians too) don't really understand what they mean. I like this presentation on liver markers btw: A/Prof. Ken Sikaris - "Fatty Liver & Chemical Pathology." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c_QYbCxC6g.

It's also important to get these sequentially to see what the actually progression is (the time frames are usually not captured since people tend to get these tests once a year at most).

A basic lipid panel is cheap and is somewhat useful for diagnosing gross dyslipidemia but it's worth noting that it's also much more mobile than most clinicians believe:

When I complimented my teenaged son's new found goth sensibilities, he snuffed and deigned to inform me that in fact he was "emo". So I asked for clarification. Best as I could tell, in his opinion, "goth" is what old people did.
The vast majority of those who died from Corona Virus were old. So would you say those also died from old age?

I personally wouldn't make that argument, but I'm asking since it would seem to be a necessary conclusion if we follow your path of reasoning. I think a cohesive argument has to be something that can be applied both ways (in favor and against the desired conclusion)
Lots of people?

The difference between the critic rating and the user rating is useful information to have when making a viewing decision. If they are both low, that tells you something. If one is low and one is high, that tells you something.

His chance of repeating the crime is approximately zero. Murder in general has a low repeat rate, the circumstances were highly unusual (wife had secretly gotten the children foreign passports to a country that wouldn't respect child custody), and he has terrific skills.

I didn't capitalize pure logic. You did. Don't put words in my mouth. Clearly, I am using pure to mean "only" or "100%."

We can deduce that the infection rate will be nearly 100% because there is no significant subpopulation that is isolated from the rest of the population. Without isolation, the infection spreads. See also: rhinovirus-based colds, which have infected 100% of the US population despite different people having prior immunity to different strains, slowing its spread.
I think you can learn whatever maths you need to be a programmer on the fly, unless you're in a specifically math-y domain.
my issue is how to reconcile the way different countries have handled it. i don't think this is a nothing burger, but i'm also wary of the "overreaction" by the media and then you add signaling and political issues and it becomes a mess.

- america and some european countries. we haven't tested anybody in the US and are basically treating it like it's nothing, but it's clear that this thing has been spreading already. still yet to be seen how it plays out in terms of overwhelming the system.

- contrast this to a place like korea which is aggressively testing 10k people per day, finding a low mortality rate, but still trying to balance hospital resources.

- compare that to italy and iran, where they are struggling w/ resources and people seem to be dying at an alarming rate (imagine if like 3 politicians just dropped dead from this thing).

- now compare that to china, where they literally quarantined tens of millions (and still are), had to build extra hospitals in a matter of days, and are still implementing draconian measures to manage it. they basically had to shut down their production briefly. and even then the actual numbers might not be clear.

if someone could help enlighten me with an explanation that would fit all these cases that would be much appreciated. right now it's too black and white, that this is some world ender or "just the flu, bro".

It’s actually much worse than that because of reflected inertia. The inertia of the first gear as seen from the last gear is proportional to the square of the gear ratio
I did not know this, but according to what I was just reading, pretty much any physical material must rupture when it spins close to the speed of sound in that material.

If you imagine a relativistic spinning disk anyway, then it gets interesting because due to length contraction, the circumference changes relative to the diameter. I'm not up to the math, but it seems like it might change the effective gear ratio depending on your perspective and the closeness of the speed to C.

I mean, the concept actually works, but you have to understand what is actually going into the bundled product. There is no reason you couldn't bundle 100 million in mortgages that had a 10% default risk and sell 10 million of that bundle as AAA.

It is when you just start bundling everything and then saying the entire thing is AAA that the trouble starts.
Interesting take, and it makes a lot of sense. Is there an open source framework for handling isolates dedicated to serverless functionality out there?
Major IdPs tend to provide an endpoint where you can send them the JWT, they validate it and return its contents as a plain JSON response. You're effectively trading JWT parsing for HTTPS.

They can't walk JWT back now without breaking existing apps, because parsing it yourself was advertised as an option.

The Yubikey has similar storage features and is the perfect size and shape. Unfortunately, it's missing the main feature I'm talking about: easy inter-device communication.

It needs to be self powered because

>> The key feature of the device is that touching two of the devices together

I want people to be able to protect their communication with someone simply by meeting them in person and touching their USB crypto devices together. It should be a device someone stores on their person along with their other security devices like their house/car keys. The goal is to make the crypto easy so the individual can use it in situations where they already solved the authentication problem. If exchanging keys with someone depends on something complex like a computer or phone, a lot of people won't use it.
For those downvoting this comment: this conclusion (that HN's reader base is predominantly based in the SF Bay Area) should be entirely unsurprising given that HN is itself the product of Y Combinator, an accelerator based in the SF Bay Area that (last I checked, and from what I recall back when I worked for a startup that applied) specifically requires its incubatees to relocate (if they're not already there) to the SF Bay Area during said incubation.

Yes, not all of us are in the SF Bay Area, but it's pretty reasonable to assume that most readers are.

There are lots of unknowns in this space, but no, that model is pretty well accepted. Surely there are lots of contributing factors.

But regardless, the point was that transmission of normal, already-circulating viruses is limited both by the number of transmission events and the much lower chance of infection. But a novel virus has a MUCH higher chance to hop on any given event, so in practice it's rate of spread is limited not by the chance of "catching" the bug but just by its own incubation period. Stuff like winter/summer changes on the margin aren't going to change anything.
Exactly this. I want to know and reveal motives (it's not foolproof) not just escape one incident.

TLDR: speed-up happens as common-combinations of syscalls (open, read, close) are combined to one single syscall (read file contents).

It violates the unix philosophy of "one call for one specific thing", of course, but massively speeds up performance in practical applications.

In fact, you could get a LOT of speedup at Linux/Microsoft/... (the OS level) by figuring out highly common combinations of syscalls typically all called in a row with mostly the same arguments, and combining them into one single syscall.
No there's a separate system for NEFT. UPI is a central bank mandated payment gateway standard. It runs on top of an instant settlement system called IMPS. Implementations tend to be very low cost but there's a cap on transaction size.

Just to put some rough numbers on it:
- 393,000,000 firearms owned by US citizens

- 39,773 firearm related deaths (including suicide) as a decent base yearly rate [this is the actual 2017 number]

14,542 firearm homicides as a decent base yearly rate [again, actual 2017 number]

Fats are easy to overeat? I can easily eat 4000 kcal in carbs in one sitting, I’d be nauseous reaching the same amount with either proteins or fats or a combination of both.

In fact, since going low carb I have a new mental awareness when I’ve eaten enough: I eat until a switch flicks in my head mid chew and says “that is enough”. It’s mental, not that physical feeling of the stomach being full.

This is completely new to me.
Risk premiums are something else than profits. They're much more intangible, much more "macro".

If you have three companies, two of which will produce $1M (when discounted with interest rates), and the third one has the prospects of producing $1M but will actually produce $0 due to some fatal flaw in the idea (i.e. will lose everything), but you don't know and can't know which one is the loser - how much should each stock be worth? Assume there's no debt.

It's pretty obvious that it should be less than $1M per company. That's what the risk premium is - the difference between discount rates used for a risky project vs the discount rate used for a non risk asset (i.e. interest rates).

No risk premium means everything is discounted as a "sure thing", as if it was a government bond. It's inherently anti-capitalistic because it means that the capital doesn't get to decide what's possible, what's probable, and what's likely.

Also, note that risk premiums have, a priori, nothing to do with aggregate returns. Risk premium is what you'd make if everything went well. But it often doesn't go well. In my example if all three companies traded for $666k and you bought all three you'd end up with the same amount of money at the end (once the loser is known).
The number of injuries per year due to firearms (including homicides and suicides) in America is 106,000 approx. The percentage of firearm deaths including suicides is slightly less than 2% of total deaths. Those are barely significant figures. Less than .03% of Americans are effected by those 106,000 firearm incidents. There were 39,773 firearm deaths total in 2017 while there were 47,600 opioid causes deaths in the same year. And that is with an estimated 393 million small arms in the country.

I’m not claiming that these deaths do not matter, I’m just saying that the impact of firearms is much more prominently discussed than other causes of death. I find it very much in line with the emotional pleas against encryption.
Find something that you genuinely love. Procrastination is not something you have to fight against, it’s a clue showing you that you are not doing something that interested you deeply. Do not chase success, learn to know yourself and how you can be helpful to the world. Motivation will then come “magically”. Hope I am not to mystic, let me know if I not making sense.

What's the difference between a kitchen knife and one that can be used to kill someone? Nothing, you can kill someone with a kitchen knife—but that isn't what it was designed for. There are guns designed to kill unsuspecting people at a distance (sniper rifles), there are guns designed to be carried for self-defense, and there are guns designed for hunting or target sports. Any of them could be used to commit a murder, but that doesn't mean they are all equally suited for it. In the end a gun is just a tool. It's the intent of the person using the tool that counts.

Mind that JavaScript simply reused the set of reserved keywords from Java. This similarity in keywords and syntax is, what made the "Java" part in "JavaScript", while there is actually no deeper relation between the two languages. `const` was available.

> Does it actually even happen often that people who leave jobs under hostile or negative circumstances ask for recommendations?

It's not called a "recommendation". It's "Arbeitszeugnis" which translates to more of a testimonial or certificate making it a kind of must have. Not having it would be like finishing school without having grades. So yes, it's especially a big topic in hostile or negative circumstances as it's (even the wording) usually part of an agreement at the labour court.
Of course. If you throw some bacteria into a gallon of hand sanitizer then put it all in a blender to ensure good mixing, I am certain it will. But that’s not how you’d actually use it, right?

For comparable countries (e.g., Switzerland), they're basically the same; comparable countries don't have the same large disparity in crime rates.

It means you access your object through a GUID. Think about it like parking your own car vs. a valet. When you park your own car you need to know the address of the garage you parked in, the floor you were on, and the spot you were in. When you valet park, you hand the attendant a ticket and he brings your car back.

With a standard fileshare, you need to walk the filesystem to retrieve your file - this incurs a ton of metadata overhead. It also means when you've got potentially billions of files in a directory, it can be slooooowww. All the metadata requests also make it very chatty - so doing it over a WAN link tends to be extremely painful if it works at all. Newer versions of SMB and NFS have done a lot to batch the metadata requests but they are still protocols meant to happen at extremely low latency inside a datacenter.
With no prospects for profits, big pharma neglects new infectious diseases
U.S. legislation targets online child sexual abuse; threatens encryption
This is a very serious disease for many of the infected when left untreated: it causes pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs/airways) which makes people’s respiratory system less effective, leading their blood oxygen levels to drop and potentially leading to death, especially in the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions like cardiovascular problems, obesity, diabetes, compromised immune systems, asthma, other chronic respiratory issues, ....

A significant proportion of people over 60, a non-negligible proportion of people ages 40–60, and still some proportion of people aged 20–40 need to be hospitalized and put on supplemental oxygen. In severe cases people need support from a mechanical respirator. In the WHO report from China 20% of positive cases needed hospitalization. This might be a substantial overestimate if there are many mild cases not caught by tests, but even if that estimate is off by a factor of 5 or 10, if there are many cases this can overwhelm hospital capacity.

When treated aggressively by a capable healthcare system (caught early before severe symptoms start, treated with antiviral meds, patients put on supplemental oxygen as soon as blood oxygen starts to dip, hospitals have enough respirators for severely affected patients) so that people don’t die while waiting for their immune systems to fight the virus off, many fatalities can be avoided, as is happening in Singapore or some wealthier provinces in China. But this depends on social distancing in the community, widespread testing, aggressive isolation and contact tracing of infected people, and efficient triage of cases.

If cases are not caught early and treated aggressively or if medical systems get overwhelmed, it is bad news. If this virus is not checked and spreads throughout the world quickly, the death toll could be in the millions.

Beyond being very dangerous to a substantial proportion of infected people, it is also extremely contagious, and has been spreading very rapidly. It is contagious even among pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic people. Perhaps most dangerously, its early symptoms are close enough to ordinary cold/flu symptoms (and some of the infected seem to not advance to the more serious stage) that people who are shedding the virus continue to go about their everyday lives without realizing they are infected with novel coronavirus instead of a typical cold or flu.

I see participatants from all over the world here all the time. They usually qualify things with phrases like "where I'm from" or "in [insert country here].

It's only the Americans that think they're the center of the world.

I used to watch this Japanese show "Why did you come to Japan?" where a camera crew hangs out at Narita Airport and ambushes unsuspecting foreigners with that question and try to tag along on the journey of people they think are there for an interesting reason. When everyone introduces themselves they say the country they are from, except Americans who always say which state they are from and never the country. I found that particularly interesting. So, I just assume it's a deeply ingrained cultural thing to treat "America as default".
Also the feature size is in μm range, so I imagine a flashlight or barcode gun shaped UV camera device to observe interference or reflectivity would be possible.
