In the U.S. it varies by state. Many/most states have a yearly inspection covering safety and emissions. Headlight alignment would be checked. I'm not sure about brightness. States that do not have yearly inspections leave it to police officers to ticket offenders.

I assume there are not enough law enforcement resources to enforce all the relevant laws.
It should be noted that Brave is not an advocacy group; they're a medium size for-profit company, with a business model that stands to gain if Google is cut down to size. So even if their complaint seems valid, calling on regulators to shut down your business rivals is shady, and you should take any representations they make with a pile of salt.

I also maintain my general skepticism that Google's business model is illegal under the GDPR. If the regulators had intended to make Google illegal, I'd think they would have said that.
Ask HN: Find Old Post (missing college courses)

It doesn't work just fine at all. I could tell you plenty of stories and industry insights but I'll leave you just with one nugget I got at a market-maker conference last year: not even 20 cryptoexchanges are profitable, and this information comes from those who are paid to make markets.. move.

Obviously there is a level that makes sense and a level that does not. Using the big-bank/government debt-system to manage our money supply is no more or less free market than a citizens dividend, it just ensures that the wealthy get first dibs on the new money and then the rest of us pay interest on it.

Intentionally escalating a situation on the road while making it clear you are doing it out of malice rather than genuine stupidity is never the right thing to do.

Sure you can probably get away with it for awhile but you're eventually gonna do it to a cop that makes it very much not worth your while or you're gonna run across someone who's reaction causes you serious bodily harm. It's just not worth it and normalizing that kind of tit for tat behavior makes the world a worse place.
> One thing I noticed that really did not work well for me was asking quiz questions in between that did not require understanding just memorization of what was just said 30 seconds ago.

Be careful of saying what works well versus what doesn't work well based on perception. I pretty much always use this kind of inline question in lectures, usually gauged to require the student to make a single deductive step from the material just presented. And they all look at me like I'm an idiot for expecting something that simple...except that then some of them get it wrong and have to reintegrate the knowledge, and the number of queries after the fact from misunderstandings of the material went down dramatically when I started doing it.

So I actually tell the students up front that this seems absurd, but play along, because it really does help the integration of knowledge.
Just to update as this changes from day to day as things get relaxed (in Nanjing)

> 1. Every place is taking temperature of people. Every place

Not every places anymore. Most shops, supermarkets or malls no longer have dedicated temperature staff. However entrances to living areas (neighbourhoods) and official infrastructure would have

> 2. You have to register your presence everywhere. Boarding the metro train you have to scan a QR

Not everywhere, like shops etc. However some cafes and restaurants required you to scan in to let you sit down. Additionally the app checked your face with your ID so you cant just share your qr code.

> Takeout is touchless

Also deliveries to your door are not back yet. Deliveries get dropped in a designated area where you go to pick them up.

> 4. Cabs have a plastic seal between driver and passenger sides.

However their version of "Uber" has no seals and is normal.

> 5. Restaurants have physical barriers between seats, so even if you go together with someone, you can't eat the food while looking at each other.

No longer the case as a rule. Most restaurants are not open for seating it seems currently, but those that do you can sit next to or opposite people now. However originally it was one person per seat when they first re-opened.

Rules are being relaxed daily. In Nanjing there hasnt been a case of the virus for 2 weeks.

If you have an interior rear-view mirror, your side mirrors should be pointed at the lanes next to you, not behind you. Not only does this reduce blindspots, but also overly bright headlights reflecting. When a car passes you from behind, you should see it move from the rear to the side mirrors without moving your head.

Of course, if you drive a truck or are towing a trailer, that's a different story.

Covid-19 US Outbreak Predictions
My application uptime monitor clocked it at 12 minutes.
This is just an uneducated hypothesis, but maybe the implied risk adjusted discount rate of cash flows is actually quite high?

For instance, assume that investors don't really care about cash flows beyond 10 years. After all our government puts out 10 year budgets. It seems a reasonable assumption.

So in that case, if you run the numbers you will find that the discount rate has to be about 20% annually in order for the 10th year earnings to be worth 10% what they are today:

80%^10 = 10.73%

At that rate, the first 3 years of earnings represent 54% of the value, and the first 2 years are 40% of the value.

All of this ignores the book value of a company, but often these days companies are funded by debt, so equity investors may not even be expecting to pick up the scraps of a bankrupted company.

Finally, stocks themselves may have been at an unfortunate peak, right at the time of this correction. So they also have to correct whatever amount they were overvalued by in the first place.

Exactly. It scales linearly, not quadratically. I forgot to mention that since clients do the "original" encoding, the server actually does less work (regarding resolution tiers).
UBI, Tax Cuts, Social Safety Net – these are all different approaches to solving actual problems. Are politics full of pork and cynicism? Sure. But at the end of the day _something_ needs to be done, and it would be more constructive to have a rational discussion of which of the tools at our disposal stand a chance against this menace.
Possible explanations for the discrepancies:

1 - A difference in the amount or quality of testing. If you don't test enough, you won't really know how many cases you have. If the tests that are performed are unreliable, that can also lead you to a false sense of security.

2 - Deaths from the disease could be miscategorised as deaths from pneumonia, the flu, or some other illness. This goes hand-in-hand with lack of testing.

3 - There is some difference in the location that might impact the disease. For instance, China has a lot of air pollution, which could impact lung function, and may in turn increase the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, which primarily impact breathing by damaging the lungs. Hot and humid climates also seem to be inhospitable to the virus, though it is hot in Iran now and they're very hard hit. Widespread use of air conditioning might negate the effects of outside temperature and humidity, however.

4 - There could be population differences. This has not been studied yet, but in theory some people may be less susceptible to the disease because of genetic factors.

5 - Behavioral differences could impact this disease. Doing lots of testing, tracking down all the contacts of each infected individual and isolating them, having the population self-isolate and avoid gatherings can make a huge difference. Conversely, a population and government which ignore this outbreak or pretend it's not serious, and continue going on with their life as usual is a recipe for disaster.

6 - Medical preparedness: having a lot of excess ICU capacity, ventilators, personal protection equipment, and trained (and healthy, and not overworked) medical staff in hospitals.
Money in our pockets would also have a direct impact us on. Why include the middleman? Let bad companies fail.
Ask HN: How do you handle cron mails?
I'm part of an organization that does a lot of IT operations, much automated, some manually. Lots of it is "traditional" metal or VMs, not k8s.

We get a lot of automated events; the two biggest sources are our monitoring system, and failed cron jobs.

What do you guys use to store and manage such events?

Currently we have a ticket system (OTRS) that can be used by email, but it is approaching its capacity limits, and it's simply not designed for this task.

Ideally I'm looking for:

* A way to make events visible to anybody interested

* Some sort of deduplication: if a cron job sends an email every 5 minutes, there should be a way to deal with them all at once

* Some sort of triaging: a way to mark an event or stream of event as not important / dealt with / whatever, and only give me a few of events that haven't been triaged

* Escalation: some events must trigger alerting to the appropriate teams

I'm sure we're not unique in needing a way to deal with this, but my searches haven't turned up a ready solution for this.

In a normal situation this is true. In situation described above only the essentials are being produced by the economy and everyone gets essentials and nobody producing non-essentials works.

Having more money isn't useful in this situation. You already get the essentials and can't buy non-essentials because they aren't being produced.

If it was fully undetectable it would mean that it would have no effect and does not exist on disk or in memory of any sort. Any malware/RAT is detectable in someway since it has some effect that shouldn't be there. That can be network activity, just the process running, just the code existing on a drive or in memory or anything else.
Previously, you wrote, "various health organizations have been telling HCWs and forms the basis of our hospital’s standard of care which like all other in North America is that airborne precautions are NOT needed".

Now you write, "'standard of care' was ... two months of research later ... the standard of care was updated a couple of days ago to reflect that".

Yet you comment, "I don’t see where the lag is."

The two months' lag was enough it's not at all obvious which standard of care you were referring to when you're saying no lag, the lagged standard or the just updated standard.

This very comment thread highlights the issue.
This remark reminds me of the book, "Seveneves" by Neal Stephenson. He plays with a similar 'what if?' doomsday scenario. Around 80% of the book revolves around testing and pushing humanity at it's extremes.
> pay things that I'd already have been paying anyway

That's kind of the point. With a nearly imminent lockdown, many people would not be able to pay for things that they have been paying all the time, and that will bankrupt companies and break the economy. A cash injection that allows you to pay for things that you're already paying for - and get the basic things you were already getting before - would be quite helpful.
You can't live off of $1000/mo in most cities without making some real sacrifices, but a $1000 supplement would still be a huge help to people who live paycheck-to-paycheck and may not get paid for a few weeks. It'll buffer out what might otherwise turn into an inability to pay basic bills like food and medicine.

After all, only 40% of Americans are able to cover an unexpected $1000 expense. That's the really sobering number, in my view:

The client runs on Windows and is written in C++ (bot directory). It's still terrible, amateur-level code that nobody should be running but the most critical aspect here is the architecture: Fixed, with most things hardcoded and hard to adapt/change. Also, no runtime flexibility whatsoever. This isn't what an advanced attack toolkit looks like, even a minimal one written in C/C++.

Here is my own contribution to this space:

The way it would work is, Berkshire Hathaway with their $130 billion in cash would purchase Delta outright for pennies on the dollar. Berkshire can endure whatever reasonable length of time is required to get Delta back to spitting off $6 billion per year in operating income.

Someone else with immense capital and assets would buy American Airlines (maybe Steve Ballmer or Larry Ellison would lean into that; Ellison likes airlines). Someone else would buy United, perhaps a major financial firm, private equity.

Capitalism is not ill suited for this crisis. This is not the first time we've seen this. We had Capitalism in 1860-1870 and 1918 as well. What people didn't like about this process in the past, is the way it often consolidates economic returns further, it generates huge winners and losers (in a way that seems to most to be particularly predatory or unfair, as an emotional take), and society often feels taken advantage of by people with vast well-stocked fortunes.

Don't confuse whether it would work with whether people like it or not. It works in fact and we've seen it multiple times in the past, we know exactly what happens: there are big winners (those that were prepared to take advantage) and big losers.

Many people took vast economic advantage of the Civil War, not least of all by buying their way out of serving (hiring legal substitutes). Rockefeller for example did well in commodities at this time, prior to the Standard Oil days.
The price is actually varied in France and this decision has nothing to do with protectionism. Similar decision happened previously against French companies (ex: Michelin).

Yeah, much friendlier than: “The United States forcefully relocated and incarcerated in concentration camps about 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II”.

One difference is the large amounts of GDDR6 on the APUs in these upcoming consoles, which is not something PC CPUs typically have access to.

> Then what happens to the people who's income depends on those rent payments.

Since they also won't need to pay rent or mortgage, they won't get kicked out of their homes, too. Which is about the most that people should expect when the economy grinds to a halt.

Otherwise, tough. We're in a state of emergency, that is preventing their tenants from getting paid. Just like their tenants, they'll have to deal with it.

> We're not going to re-engineer the economy in the next few weeks.

1. This is not going to blow over in a few weeks.

2. We sure as hell shouldn't empty the treasury into the pockets of landlords over a few weeks. They should not be the only people to walk out of this unscathed.

Suspending rents and mortgages is the only fair thing to do. It costs the state, and the taxpayers nothing, it puts everyone on an even footing, in terms of continuing to have a roof to sleep under, and it doesn't screw us six months down the road.
