It's sufficient if Australia believes that Facebook's existence itself is in violation of Australian law.

Well that would be a dreadful outcome for Australia, and I don't see anything indicating that is a potential outcome.
Wow, that's bitter and grossly over-simplified on caring that title.

The reason is that gold is itself a useless piece of metal (electronics and jewellery notwithstanding). Its only use is as a hedge against the gov't issued currency. Therefore, to bet that gold increases in value means you're betting against the country you're in doing well.

But in that case, you're better off buying a bunker and bullets and long life stored goods. because gold is useless if the country you're in fails!

The only other use for gold as far as i see is to dodge a country's foreign exchange restrictions, to launder money discretely, and to dodge inheritance taxes (if that's even possible with gold jewellery...).
It's clarified in the first sentence of the article.
It's showing them in a bad light because they have proven to be unambiguously skeevy, dishonest, and disreputable. At least part of how they treated her is illegal.

While non disclosure has a valid use case to protect valuable business info from competitors its hard to argue with a straight face that it ought to be used to hide wrongdoing. Such an agreement is unconscionable and therefore invalid.

If they predicated her severance on compliance with an immoral and invalid clause that would appear to be their problem. The invalid nature of the clause doesn't require her to give the money back.

You are right, some of the regulations around association plans were only recently decided, so they are not widespread. We are very interested and working with some experts in the space to better understand how we can leverage them.

> There is some segment of the population that would pity your perspective as the disillusionment of an abused spouse. I don't. I get it.

Thanks, I often wonder if this is healthy practice myself as it can be rather personally-abusive to be so mission-centric, but then I see the consequences of the alternative: consider how many people in the US alone consume psychotropic drugs just to cope with depression despite having access to so much of everything but being so inherently listless and distracted.

I won't bemoan about the pitfalls about the Human Condition, but I will say that despite the hardships and loss I still see this as a worthwhile endeavor and wish to be part of it all, especially when you understand the implications it may have for the Species if we get this right.

Which right now as we're seeing the blow-back of something significant (albeit minor in the grand scheme of outbreaks) like Coronavirus is really alarming.

It's useful to read the history of the stock market prior to WW2. It was a casino back then. Our experience post WW2 probably creates a bias. We're used to the stock market stability. But it has some serious structural problem now (e.g. low/0 interest rate). I would not be surprised if it is heading back into casino mode.
Last year I learned the basics of Elixir and wrote some toy projects with it. This year I'm starting to delve into the more advanced aspects of Elixir and I'm hoping to get into Elixir web development with Phoenix before the end of the year.

As part of the Elixir learning process, I've been writing a series called Learn With Me: Elixir at https://inquisitivedeveloper.com/, so that other people can learn Elixir along with me.

At first the idea was just to help other people out in learning the language by explaining it from my perspective as I learned it, since there aren't large numbers of Elixir learning resources out there, but I found out that writing about Elixir and explaining it has been enormously useful in helping me learn. It helps me to think about the topic in more detail and I feel motivated to answer questions that pop up in my head while I'm writing, leading me to understand Elixir better.

So for anyone wanting to learn something, I recommend writing about it as well. Attempting to explain it to others has a learning value all on its own.

"Just walk out"? Figured this was going to be a site dedicated to some sort of protest about Amazon. I think a re-brand is in order.

That aside, would retailers adopt this from Amazon, of all tech companies?
Two minutes ago I just watched the mayor of New York City on CNN say that they don't have enough hand sanitizer or surgical masks for their medical infrastructure and that they have over twenty confirmed cases of coronavirus and are expecting more, and that the federal government has not provided them with any sort of supply assistance yet, or any sort of timeline on when they might.

The mayor of DC followed and said something similar.

I had a trip booked to Italy starting on March 20 so have been following the news very closely since at least mid February... I Ask HN'd how people were tracking the virus, and the answers I got were "I'm not tracking it in any way, shape or form and I hope it reciprocates the courtesy."

Quite funny, but the stats don't lie[0]. The number of new cases in Italy has grown at an exponential rate. This is a developed economy. Similar rates are being seen in France, the UK and Switzerland. The same will happen in the US. We're all going to get this, and most of us will be fine, but if you take the midpoint of experts' forecast of 40-80% of people being infected and multiply that for a conservative 1% death rate (the WHO has mentioned 3.4% and 2% is also often thrown around), that yields

7.8 billion * 0.6 * 0.01 = 46.8 million dead

At an 80% infection rate and an 3.4% mortality rate (worst case scenario), you get 212.2 million dead.

That's a once-in-a-century, catastrophic black swan event.

I may be misunderstanding your argument, but I think the parent argument still applies whether you are getting served by a human or being served by a machine which has the same "one checkout at a time per person" kind of bottleneck that a human has.

Edit: The "scan your own cart" model is a more compelling counter-argument than the self checkout machines currently at Wal-Mart, as this can accommodate a much higher throughput.
Part of Whole Foods experience is the customer experience. The cashiers pack your bags and overall try to engage you in a conversation. The "just walk out" thing would make it less personable.
There's nothing keeping you from getting multiple certs, signed by different CAs, and switching as soon as there's an issue with one of them.

Of course, you'd have to do the switching manually.
It is the flu, what's different is not the threat but our response to it.

At current mortality rates, if this infects a good chunk of the world then we are talking about as many people dying worldwide as died during WW II.

Making future projections based on past deaths without considering the appropriate epidemiological model is like being in a car hurtling at a brick wall and saying, "We will be fine, none of us are hurt yet!" It is literally the same category of mistake.

You joke, but lots of places that don't offer cash bounties still get good bounty submissions. Google offers bounties because they can, and to attract more submissions. Like I said below: for this kind of work, $6k is a strong bounty. Not a lot of places will pay you thousands of dollars for a URL whitelist bypass bug.
I don't think it's too prescriptivist to say, this isn't what responsive design means.

Correction: article asserts that the Atlas ICBM was the first operational intercontinental missile. This is incorrect -- that honour belongs to the R-7 Semyorka, which beat it by several months and which is still in service today as the Soyuz launch vehicle.

(Yes, there's a thing called Atlas-5 that flies satellites: it's hard to see any engineering similarities between it and the original ICBM of that name; unlike the Soyuz vehicle, Which was a terrible, bad, no-good ICBM -- it took about 6 hours to fuel up and prep for launch, on pads which were 4 hours from the USSR's border as the B-52 flies -- but turned out to be a really good satellite launcher.)
Architect.
- currently no regularly scheduled meetings.

Sometimes I'll have a recurring meeting for a particular project, but even those end up being useless as we talk about the project all the time outside of the meetings, and we end up cancelling half of the recurring ones.

On average I'll have around 3 hours of non-recurring meetings per week (although some weeks have none).

That said, there's probably ~2 hours a day of impromptu conversing with colleagues on work topics that eats up a lot of time.

The rest of the company has the normal "waste half of the week" set of agile meetings that they attend.

Why it cannot just hold reset line for these chips high until CPU started?

I was able to look at the press release from this nursing home this morning, and the numbers are far worse than this.

The number is much higher than that, as there are an additional 12 deaths that haven't been tested for coronavirus yet. 26 have died in the last three weeks as compared to 7 in a typical month.

Another 26 are in the hospital, with the rest being quarantined at the home. Over 1/3rd of the staff there is showing symptoms ~70/180 people.
I follow Indian and US news and politics on it - once you follow key journalists, politicians, intellectuals and critics - Twitter does a pretty job of surfacing the day to day concerns that show up in the country.
> i don't understand why medical facilities don't have a several month supply in storage

They might have several months' supply under normal circumstances in storage -- but when suddenly all their staff need one 24/7 and they're overwhelmed with patients, that supply lasts days.

The supply needed to handle every possible contingency might not be reasonable to store.
...or not a very good coverage in term of testing.
I'm a director at my company. I spend all day, every day in meetings, with the exception of Friday afternoons. I typically spend that time just thinking about everything that happened in the week and writing down thoughts and things to deal with for the next week. I'd say 75% of those are pre-planned a week or more in advance, and the rest just pop up as people want to talk to me. I often just have to reply "If you can find time in my schedule, do so and we'll talk."

I don't have time to code these days. I don't really miss it that much, but it's nice when I do get a chance to write something.

About 1/4 of them are 1:1s, another 1/4 are leadership meetings similar reactions. I'd say another 1/4 are project planning, kickoffs, and checkins. The last 1/4 are just ad-hoc one-off meetings, often to deal with an emergency or personnel issue.

I don't mind it, generally. I actually like the face-to-face interactions with people and enjoy most of the meetings. The problem I have with it is the whole "meeting that could have been an email" thing. Especially status update meetings. Huge waste of time.

The other problem is that I do have a number of direct reports and I'm doing them a disservice by not having time to interact with them more directly. I'm in the process of hiring some more managers to take that load off my back.
Tocilizumab drug in Naples hospital seems promising: «The health of the patient suffering from covid 19, who arrived in critical condition, intubated and treated with the new drug therapy is recovering. Maybe we extubate him because his conditions have improved a lot ». They also say they got confirmation from Chinese colleagues who tested that earlier on 21 cases. The drug is now undergoing trial at Roche.

Sucker born every minute?

I don't know how much money it takes a podcast to support itself but I imagine it's still heaps cheaper than, say, your average billboard or 30-second TV spot.
I've always assumed that was an artifact of free returns; if you bought one thing, maybe you're actually still shopping and want to know other options. I've noticed when I get these they're frequently more expensive than the one I already bought.
have a trip scheduled first 2 weeks in june, also unsure of what to do
Instant Pot is a cheap brand already. They basically became popular by being cheap and running frequent sales. Something like the Breville Fast Pro is the non-discount alternative and runs about 2.5x more than the typical Instant Pot.
People do short or buy put options.
As soon as they support something, they can never drop support for it because some sites will have started using it, and some sites will never stop using it. Look at how hard it has been to deprecate Flash.

By enabling support, they are commiting to maintain same-or-better compatibility pretty much forever. Thats a big commitment if your code is based of someones 'for lolz' patch to ffmpeg...
> keep a buffer in cash/high-interest savings account

Where do you find such an account?
I do. Most often I get that value when looking through the repeated blame output of a particular piece of code. I facilitated that through this tool I wrote:

https://github.com/jolmg/git-reblame

Last time I used it was last week to see how a particular piece of code was developed throughout the years. There was a comment that didn't explain some puzzling details, and it helped to make sense of it by seeing how the code changed from the time the comment was written.
When someone writes

> "The only virus there is, is racism", they told us.

That typically means that some specific person, one with power and influence, said the exact words (or something which can be translated to the exact words) "the only virus there is, is racism". If you just mean that some people are talking about racism caused by the coronavirus, that's a very misleading way to phrase it.
Genuine question, how will this work for people who cover their faces (eg religious or medical reason)? Will those people just not be able to shop?
A simple framework for studying population dynamics in Python
In the final, minified code there's a lot of calls to Math methods (sin, cos, tan). I wonder if there's potential to shrink this even more with some assignments:

M=Math,s=M.sin,c=M.cos,p=M.PI,a=M.abs; // etc.
I'm curious to how does these measures affect individuals ability to get help and solve their problems they may have given the nation wide shutdown. I understand that WHO questioning of China's decision to lockdown of many of it's regions is now seen as helpful in buying the world time to deal with covid19 spread (at the cost of individual freedom and access to help in those lockdown regions).

But, don't lockdown also create massive barriers of people, including of those who need access to life essential products/services?
Why not just charge back and move on with your life? If SXSW wants to have a dumb policy, they can deal with convincing the bank.
Would I be surprised some people in the CIA would want to do such a thing? No.

Would I be surprised they'd do something so stupid as to plant child pornography on a suspect's computer and ruin their already pretty soiled reputation to such an extent that all future prosecutions of whistleblowers and leakers will come under heavy doubt, in addition to their ethics around abused children, and that this would be signed off by the top leadership and accepted organizationally? Kind of.
Maybe someone in this thread would have an answer to this question: how do you interpolate between two colors in HSLUV? Just interpolating each parameter doesn’t give the right result, since eg mixing two saturated complementary colors would create an equally saturated color, rather than some shade of gray.

Converting to CIELUV and mixing there doesn’t seem safe since I don’t think it’s a “convex” color space; you run the risk of ending up with colors that can’t be reproduced properly on a screen.

Just because the main ingredient is kerosene doesn't necessarily mean that's all that's needed to make the equivalent.

I wonder how hard it would be to duplicate the formula if one had a spectral analyzer. Study the plots, make a best guess batch, test its plot against the original, adjust, rinse, repeat...

(Same with KFC. I could profit off the President if I can get him the same thing at a discount. He's a volume customer. I confess, I also like KFC. Despite the rumors, it doesn't make one's skin orange, just chubby.)
Yeah, it's like their algorithm misses that once you've got X, you probably don't want X (at least not for a while).

But I wonder why they don't just flip the prediction? If you bought X, then advertise anything but X.

Like if you bought a toilet seat, they might advertise toilet paper instead (which would be good, because all the stores around here just ran out...)
What he refers to, is that initially doctors said to stay away from people that went to China.

Some politicians used that to push identity politics and went to Chinese restaurants and took pictures hugging Chinese people.

The Basics of Terraforming RDS
They will have data on how people walk around the stores, in what order, what shelves they look at, what items they take off and put back. What they put back and rather take as an alternative instead. How long they ponder before picking an item. Etc. etc. so much data to mine for advertisers and marketers to manipulate people into spending more.
A lot of it, if I'm correctly remembering an article I read several years ago, is that several of the most popular brands are actually the same company, and that company also quietly owns several of the most popular chain stores. So you go into a store you think is in competition with the store across the street, and look at mattresses from manufacturers you think are competing against each other, and it's all one company owning both stores and both mattress brands.

It's not as universal as Luxottica, as I said, but it's pretty widespread.
Thanks (OP here). Floating Receipts hasn't really had the attention it deserves. Very few papers discuss it, even though it's very simple and has excellent security properties.
That's fair. On the other hand, if a language is from a different paradigm than mainstream languages, there's not much "aping from somewhere else" that can be done. I mean, K could ape things from APL, but that doesn't help most of us. (I guess it helps those that know APL...)

I suspect that looking like C or ALGOL would not be all that useful for K (or Lisp, or Haskell, or Forth). The semantics are too different. A surface similarity in syntax isn't enough to bridge the gap in a meaningful way.
Are you sure about this? They almost always seem slightly annoyed when I haven't started bagging my own goods in the middle of them scanning items.
