> I don't think a ribeye steak from a grass fed, free range, antibiotic-free animal is particularly unhealthy.

It's unhealthy as in "not bringing enough diversity in nutrients". Kidney, liver meat are much richer sources of nutrients. Nothing wrong with indulging with a nice steak once a week, as long as you're having lots of plants/seeds/fruits-based meals as well.

Same goes for pets, but since you can't feed almonds to your cat, it's better off eating a mix of muscle, liver, bone marrow, etc.

I wouldn't worry too much about the cleanliness of pet food - it's been thoroughly cooked and processed to guarantee a long shelf life.

If it was that easy everyone would do it, or at least the "simple basic timing"-fund with twice the gain would be more popular than any etf.

It isn't. I elaborated a bit in my later comment:

I cannot fathom how the "toe-fungus" ads still make money. Doesn't every internet user, at this point, have an instinctual spam sense? I don't even see the individual ads; they're just noise. I actually assume that even if I were interested in the headlines, clicking the link wouldn't even take me to that content but to malware and scams. But I don't actually know that because, again, they are so blatant that I've never actually clicked one.

The most likely explanation is that it's older people who didn't grow up on the internet and still don't use it that much. If so, I wonder how the industry will change when nobody's left who's gullible enough to click? Will the quality of ads increase, at least, to where they represent real products? Or will scammers just get more creative?

Thank you for the answer and sorry for not being clearer, but I was asking from the perspective of an engineer that wants to enter the mainframe world.

Let's say I want to focus on developing, maintaining and running the software on mainframes. How do I get "in" and are the skills paid well in comparison to a typical Java/.NET/C++ developer position nowadays?

You touched a bit on dying workforce when you mentioned COBOL. Is that dying workforce a real problem making it financially lucrative for the people willing to learn that stuff? Or is it just a myth?
The point of that scenario was that, if the app takes off it it could quickly turn from a bad joke scenario to one with real impact. Either by Bob taking the reasonable step of self quarantine, unnecessary test + fearful waiting time, or in the worst case the app could be, like it's Chinese equivalent, used to restrict Bob's movement by others at checkpoints. Severside knowledge is pretty irrelevant if an armed guard or angry mob wants you to show the app before letting you get your Sunday brunch.

There are plenty of ultra-concise languages for toy problems like these; they are called ‘golfing languages’. Ultimately it's a bit pointless since most of the time people aren't playing code golf.

(The issue with setting everything to obscure ultra-compressed keywords isn't that it's not possible to learn those keywords, but that most of the time programming is done over specific and customized domains with larger and problem-specific vocabularies.)

The thing is Trump isn't even particularly relevant to the vast majority of the stories, even when it's the federal govt screwing up. But reddit posters are constantly making it about him. The moderators do try to prevent the worst of political posting to their credit.

What's so ironic about foxnews viewers being victims? They aren't panicking appropriately enough or something? I just glanced at their website and it didn't seem particularly slanted on the topic. Looks like they have multiple coronavirus stories coming out every hour. One can easily freak out if so inclined.
Yup, exactly that. WordPress editors (WYSIWYG and Gutenberg) are still far more user-friendly and mature than a Netlify CMS that still is buggy like hell and where many little details and YAML formattings need to be fixed in code editor. You really cannot expect such a thing to be done by a non-coding person.
Sounds like a recruiting problem, or possibly a training one.

Alihealth offers online Covid-19 consultation for overseas Chinese via Alipay
you could buy long term options on airline companies

Not right now. The implied volatility, aka the cost of options, is too high.

For example, American Airlines, symbol AAL, closed Friday at about $16 per share. If you go to January 2021, the cost of a $20 strike call is about $3. So you need AAL to rise from $16 to $23 just to break even. That's almost a 50% gain needed, in less than a year.

The cost of options will get much cheaper once the market settles down (even if current price levels stay the same). If the market sits in the doldrums for a few months (not moving up or down very much) then option prices will fall.

You need to buy options when they're cheap, not when they're crazy expensive.
Only because earlier today I so definitely thought about the whole "code is a liability (debt)" reality we all live in... that is to say, I'm spit-balling here:

but for once K makes me go "oh shit!" and not because of the craziness of its syntax... rather, if that syntax is so precise/terse, and even if to the outsider it looks fucking insane, does it have a wicked lower TCO because you literally have insanely less lines of liability in your code, libraries, dependencies, etc?

Is that the reason finance uses it, they maybe empirically know what the rest of us don't seem to grasp? Or just because it's so domain specific? Or... something else entirely?

You added more criteria to this high school student. Almost every one of them will have to use and program spreadsheets, few learn to program using an ALGOL-like language.

The idea you put forth disqualifies any programming language that isn't derivative of ALGOL: it's exactly the sort of thing used against Lisp dialects, and many other languages that have shown themselves to be quite wonderful ("What's cdr? That's stupid!" "You're telling me you use color instead of operators? Malarkey!" "What in Hell is Reverse Polish Notation?! This is America!").

APL (and derivatives, but using APL as it's the chief example of the paradigm and because if you know APL, k is readable) doesn't require a semester in a classroom, it requires a week or two and a book.

> Is sift still relevant today?

It is extremely relevant.

The fact that there exist other methods that "consistently surpass SIFT in all reasonable metrics" is inconsequential. You can say the same thing about JPEG compression, but JPEG is not going to disappear anytime soon.

SIFT has very good performance (but there are better methods), it is reasonably easy to compute (but there are easier) and fast (but there are much faster). Its shortcomings are well-known and easy to understand. The combination of SIFT+Ransac is the bread and butter of image matching, and if you work on this problem you cannot seriously propose a new method unless you at least compare to it.
> Edit: Yes, because Korea has experienced an exponential increase in cases, most cases in Korea are "new" but this is true for most other countries - though countries where they only find cases by people dying might be different but not in a good way.

That is the whole point of my comment. There are many countries that would appear to be even better than Korea by your naive interpretation of CFR. Germany, India, Russia, Brazil, Iceland, Mexico, and many other countries have 0% CFR. That just means that like in Korea, the infected haven't had time enough to die.

Once again, "You need to wait for the active cases to turn into deaths or recoveries."

Hi J,

Sorry for deviating from the topic.

"Second"/"arguably" restates the issue. That's editorializing. HN submitters need to use the title field for articles' actual titles, rewriting them only if they're misleading or linkbait, and then only in ways that are accurate and neutral.

Unlike on some other social news sites, on Hacker News submitting an article confers no special rights over the submission and, in particular, no right to frame for others what they should consider important. Titles are the most powerful influence on threads—by far, actually—so this is a big deal.

Sure, you need something with a capital output to create an imbalance of wealth. But usually the capital output of any society is sufficient to incentivise exclusivity and repression. Even humans just surviving generally create a capital surplus - and no matter how small - taking that is sufficient to make few individuals wealthy.
there almost certainly is an encoding such that every program any human will ever write fits in 128 bytes, though I doubt we'll ever design one. to convince yourself of this, notice that you don't expect to ever produce two programs with the same blake2 hash.

There is some theorem that says network utilization with collision detection can be as low as 1/e^2, though in practice it rarely approaches that. 20% sounds like a plausible bad case if the network is heavily loaded and the stars are not lining up right.

But how do you get dramatically better with collision avoidance? If you've allocated most of the available bandwidth to machines that are leaving it unused, utilization could well drop substantially below 20%.
100% true. I use IRC for work and I have that feeling every single day.

I would say this 1999 vibe is caused by smartphone and the "issues" that XMPP and IRC have with multiple clients for the same account. But it's a pity that, instead of improving those protocols, now we have to deal with multiple clients for multiple services.

Why people understand that you can use email with whatsoever client you want, but no with chats?
I appreciate your perspective. The problem of course is that a higher VAT would also reduce the effective purchasing power granted by the UBI.

I get that one of the benefits of UBI is that it's supposed to empower people to use the money in the way that satisfies their needs best, rather than rely on inefficient bureaucracies to determine what needs are worth subsidizing and who qualifies.

The problem is, there's no free lunch. It seems to me like any sensibly funded UBI is going to probably negatively impact many middle-class folks. Politically that's just a non-starter in the U.S.

If the language is readable beforehand, but brings a 30% productivity decrease to those proficient in it compared to what they could have with one that wasn't, even the best programmer will be mediocre.

Further, the best have had a long history of finding APL and derivatives appealing: Ken Thompson? Liked APL. Alan Perlis? Loved APL. Rob Pike? Has spent years on an APL interpreter.

APL isn't lacking fantastic programmers.

k has shipped with a Python-like sugar layer for years now (q). Readable to most, but without the notational value, much is lost.

Q'Nial (one of my favorite programming languages) is readable by most. It's very verbose, but by all means an APL-derivative. It's not as useful a tool as one with notational benefit, and never attracted much interest.

> Happily, it seems their efforts have failed in Venezuela, in vaguely humorous fashion

I think you are underestimating the international bankers' power and resolve. Guaido was a special guest at the state of the union address and both parties along with trump praised him and gave him a standing ovation. Something like that doesn't happen unless a coup in venezuela is pre-ordianed. It also shows that politics and the divisive theatrics are just for show. They are distractions to dupe the american people. Both parties and trump serve the same international banking masters, not the american people.

> It will be interesting to see whether Bolivia appears on the popular news in USA once in 2020...

It won't.

What's interesting is the sudden rise of the pro-coup messaging on social media and of the course the odd downvoting of comments pointing out the coups. I guess the bankers' weren't happy just buying nytimes op-eds. Now they are trying to buy social media influence.
