This is the opposite to a standard war (young adults die and elder survive). People killed by coronavirus will not vote again for him, thats for sure. If republicans depend more on elder voters, any "positive" impact of the "war", would be counteracted with losing more voters in their (I assume) main demographic pool.

The comparison between how the different countries will care for their population is unavoidable, and the results in China will be proudly stellar in that time (They had reasons to be proud).

And this can't be solved with more fake news. Death values can be faked and anybody could start a badmouth campaign against South Korea to hide that they will have the lowest mortality rate (due to the korean strategy of extensive testing of the population) but in the end, death people will not vote you (neither their widows, friends and family?).

So It depends also of how people will feel about replacing Obamacare by Trumpcare. Images from the past like "Trump throwing rolls of toilet paper to puerto ricans with contempt" will not help by comparison. He always had problems showing real empathy in public.
Social Distancing? You Might Be Fighting Climate Change, Too
In America, Socialism is when the government does anything that I don't not directly benefit from.

PayPal also removed the option to opt-out of currency conversion. We are now forced to use their currency conversion which I'm sure is stacked against the user. Scummy. My credit card waives the conversion fee and I'd much rather use that directly.

The primary reason I used to prefer PayPal was the fraud protection. That's also moot now. I was scammed by an instagram ad that purported to sell a cycling gear. Even after I reported it they never blocked the site from accepting PayPal. The scam was so obvious but they made me jump through hoops to file various complaints with various law enforcement agencies to refund my money. Save yourself some pain and stop using PayPal.Edit: It's still active: [1]

Yes, dynamic programming as mentioned. Good point about the stable states being sparse, meaning we wouldn't be able to get close enough to a good representation of the image.
There are several reasons for this, including:

1. Union activities are fundamentally based on a perception of a common cause, common interests, common destiny of all workers - in your company, or in general.

2. It is a much weaker achievement to get an employer to give some people some more. The more meaningful struggle (and in fact - what is often the only real game you can play) is the struggle of "what is an employee doing some kind of work entitled to" - that is, a struggle over what's standard, what's necessary, what's appropriate vs unacceptable. But if there are two categories of rights/benefits, the better category is always that of privilege, and you've never convinced the employer nor yourselves that you are due any of those things by virtue of your being a worker. At most it is by virtue of some kind of alliance with the employer at the expense of the underprivileged.

3. The more fractured the modes of employment are, the more leeway managers and personnel dept. people have to manipulate and apply leverage to individual employees: "Will you be in status X or status Y next year? Hmm, let's see. Well, you did A, and we didn't really like that. I don't know if I can authorize you being a Y" and so on. Also, you (= the union) will be playing cat-and-mouse with the employer all the time about who gets employed in what status exactly; and the more combinations you get the harder it is to keep track of everything and also have a credible and actionable perception of what's it like for the various groups within the rank-and-file.
I somehow missed that this was a paid service. That is actually probably enough of a barrier to adoption that it could minimize junk-showing. It also removes the anonymity a bit (credit card), so it could serve to discourage that behavior.
That's probably true, but I don't like that cautious way of playing where you avoid the monsters. I want to kill them all,or most of them anyway. Of course that doesn't have to be too cautious all the time as that does become boring, there's something in between of course.
Hmm that would make sense. The user-agent header does have "slack" in it so probably not a web browser, and its not far fetched that most libraries dont implement the same origin policy when it comes to headers and redirects.

you were addressing the costs.

we'll yet see what the costs to South Korea, and Italy, and all the other countries are.

Hello? The entire country just recognized the folly of outsourcing literally everything to a single third world country.

If Trump isn't a total idiot (though I know many of you believe he is) this is his opportunity to return manufacturing jobs to the US, possibly under subsidy, at the very least as a national security concern.

This rampant tribalism is insane. Literally nothing the administration does now will see any credit from it's opponents. Take off the partisan blinders. Even shitty leaders can make good decisions, and deserve credit for doing so.
I've heard mention previously on HN that FDA regulations hampered the availability of test kits within the US due to archaic laws. Given that these regulations are about to be loosened or entirely done away with temporarily, what exactly would this imply?

If the kits themselves have an accuracy rate of ~60% as I've heard mentioned here and elsewhere, wouldn't faster testing (ex. 3 hour, 1 hour) reduce accuracy even more and create "diagnostic theater" as an analogy to the security theater already witnessed at airports?

Would love to hear more about this from an epidemiological standpoint.
Really? Did he not say:

Thanks! That's definitely a good suggestion, but there's always the risk they disapprove of something like this and then reject our certification - which would make it not worth it.
That's effectively what the unions are providing. Strikes are not random events, so there's no way to use actuaries to establish minimum costs for the policies though.

While Odysseus is extraordinary strong, I don't think he qualifies as superhero. More like character from Westworld today.

And having read the odyssey, I think it is completely different then typical superhero story. It is much less good vs bad kind of story, much less focused on action and much less about showing off supernatural skills.

Odysseus himself needs help all the time. Most of the time is spent feasting and talking. Or crying. The action parts are relatively short.

I mean, it is completely different.

This assumes the researcher is indifferent to white/black hatting. In all likelihood, the researcher may have some personal preference to be a white or black hat, and it could depend on the ethics of the company in question.

There is also the cost of the likelihood of being caught while selling vulnerabilities on the black markets. If fascists have some personal stake in the company, black hatting would likely involve more careful and high stakes anonymity measures. Remember that US federal law enforcement agencies operate tor exit nodes!

You are pretty close on the numbers.

Fixed network bandwidth is centicents per GB, and that’s for wholesale IP transit. Peering bandwidth can be cheaper at scale. For all intents and purposes fixed bandwidth is too cheap to meter on consumer connections. As such a single fixed monthly rate for unlimited usage at the chosen line rate is the appropriate solution. Also the most consumer friendly way.

In regulated markets, wholesale costs for a GB of wireless traffic is less than $3. Here you can argue for billing by usage, but there are markets with true unlimited wireless services, and they do just fine.
Why not? I would presume that would help with regard to union busting, scabs, outsourcing, etc.

Yes! MAPS has conducted and collected some really great research around psychedelics and their use in the treatment of things like PTSD and addiction. Specifically, Ibogaine Therapy has shown some real promise around drug addiction [1].

Unfortunately, it's going to be quite a while before any psychedelics are FDA-approved. Right now, MDMA and Psilocybin are both in FDA trials (Phase 3 and Phase 2, respectively) but I think Ibogaine is still quite a ways out.

Interestingly, in terms of your comment about Ibogaine's use outside of the US: other countries besides the US (and Canada) have not really seen quite the same problem in terms of opioid addiction as we have here in the US. This is mostly due to American pharmaceutical companies historically having been really successful at convincing US doctors to prescribe opioid-based pain medication [2], and due to the fact that pain was added as a 5th vital sign in 2001 by the Joint Commission [3]. That isn't to say that other countries haven't had problems with opioid addiction, but it hasn't generally been at nearly the scale of the problem in the US, and other countries have had varying rates of success with solutions that haven't been possible in the US thus far.

Thanks! Pretty interesting, and great graphs!

I don't know why you are getting downvoted :(

Also, why would the price go up in May after the halving? Why would people just start to buy BTC? Okay, sure the graph say it will, and negative interest rates and so on. But gold seems to hold better. ( https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=qlDu ) Maybe it's just because BTC is not hundreds of years old and this shock led people to cater to their primal instincts and hoard papers about shiny things.

We shall see.
Do you think it’s a good time to increase prices?
If that's the case then the word socialism has lost any consistent meaning.

We are literally turning toward capitalist corporations to manufacture and sell products to solve a crisis. This is not socialism. Workers are not taking control of factories. The government is not commandeering private resources.

>Look, either socialism includes Bernie Sander's Democratic Socialism or it doesn't

You also don't seem to understand how many different flavors of socialism exist - feel free to point out how what's going on now fits under any definition. Also what does any of this have to do with Sanders?

Former game developer here. Game studios don't need unions, they need better management. Basically, an 18-year-old QA tester gets promoted to lead QA then associate producer then assistant producer and then producer. The producer manages by industry lore. And industry lore is terrible.

> This is a pretty easy code smell to reject in code review.

It is if the code was reviewed. If, OTOH, it just grew until something needs to be done (like the object with 60 public methods that I'm currently trying to refactor), you can have a devil of a time unpicking it.

The same could be true where free functions are preferred, but it seems that most programmers seem to have grasped the idea that global variables are hard.

I'm a big fan of const-correctness. I haven't written C++ in years, but I always used to love putting 'const' everywhere.
When Trump does good things I have given and will continue to give him credit. He's burned all the good will in existence though so let's see if he actually does help fund manufacturing before giving him any credit.

So far he's been moving in the opposite direction though with an emphasis on overall company welfare at the expense of employees - there have been no proposals around preventing people from losing their jobs due to needing to self-isolate and no effort to make treatment federally subsidized (testing is probably free if you're not one of the millions of people without insurance, but even here the details are hazy).

It's a practice real museums have mostly stopped. There's enormous controversy about what they should do with their existing ill-gotten gains -- most prominently the Parthenon Marbles in the UK, but that's just the lid on a massive can of worms. (There are rumors that Greece will hold up any trade deal the UK wants to make with the EU until they give the pieces back, and expect all hell to break loose in the museum world after that.)

The Bible Museum reflects a cultural attitude the celebrates the imperial age, when rich countries just took what they wanted from poor ones. There are a lot of people in those rich countries who want that back.
Honestly I would love to see the Jaguar become the target of game jams and high-profile ports and stuff. That would warm me heart.

It might not go away. And he did declare the emergency too late. And even after declaring the emergency, the federal government is still not doing enough, and it's especially not doing it fast enough.

I think we are at the point where we will see a lot of infections. I think we will see a lot of death from this as well, but it will be at the lower end of the case fatality rate range as long as we can do the things we need to in order to not overwhelm our healthcare system. If however I am wrong, and we do overwhelm the healthcare system like they did in Italy, yea, there is going to be a lot more death.
We've had a couple of people ask for that feature. We don't have a solution yet. We could try to control access to specific tables as a first step, but what it would take solve it better would be some access restriction down to the column data.

I'm guessing trying to face away from people's faces probably helps somewhat, too? If someone breathes, sneezes, or coughs viroids in your general direction, I would naively guess it's riskier if it's in the direction of their face to your face. If it touches your back and neck, I'd imagine you're still at risk, but not to the same degree.

Can anyone verify if this logic makes sense? Or does it not really make a difference because it'll just float through the air and reach your face anyway?

Unions don't require graded pay scales. You don't have to be a miner to be systemically taken advantage of. If one employer offers an unfair employment contract, you can try another company. If every employer offers an unfair employment contract, you don't have the option of another company. I can name a few clauses that favor only the company that are present at every software employment contract in almost every state.

There are more potential employees than potential employers, and most companies will survive understaffed longer than US laborers will survive unemployed. Inherently, the negotiations favor the employer. The more output the employer has stolen from its workers, the more of an advantage it will have. Unionizing and collective bargaining balances those scales.
If you don't implement an encoding you should obey the HTTP/1.1 standard and "return 501 (Unimplemented), and close the connection". In your case even though not implementing chunked encoding is prohibited, this drop through would save you.

Valid means what the standard says it means. What you don't know can hurt you.

However, if modifying your backend code is hard, you can apparently tell nginx that you don't do chunked encoding and it will sort out the 501 on your behalf. I have not tried this and YMMV.
That’s a really great idea!

I bring it up because Sanders' Democratic Socialism has been repeatedly called out as Stalinist and made to be a boogeyman. And I agree, the word socialism is losing meaning because right wing media has been trying to equate democratic socialism with Stalin for years now - I think now is an opportune time to clarify that this is the level of socialism being advocated for, a public/private partnership where the government intervenes in one segment of the market to help guide the others.
Asking for email address is asking for a huge favor. Its not free. Just because a product took hard work to create does not get the right to call it free when asking for email address. Let that sink in.
How about the alternative of alerting a person, who can then inquire as to why the vacancy? Or even, given that the person was expected to come back (it was Christmas break that they passed), the system allow for _why_ the person will not be coming back, and an option as to whether to seek to fill the vacancy, or keep it empty?

But that's neither here nor there either. This isn't necessarily about "what could the system have done better in this situation". It's highlighting that software ultimately leads to inhuman interactions; no person would have come in and said that. In fact, no person would know about the vacancy, without also knowing the reason for it (without either a system, which again highlights the problem, or another person, who would have explained the circumstances, being the one to deliver that information to them). And that's something we can work to improve, even if we can't address every possible instance.
No, PCR is not an antibody test. It amplifies DNA or RNA sequences which are known to exist in the virus. If enough unique sequences are found the test is positive.

If you can get reinfected, there's a good chance that the second infection will have a particularly high mortality rate, because this virus likely has a property known as antibody dependent enhancement[1]. Long story short, your normally protective antibodies actually work for the infection. This was a property of past coronaviruses like SARS and is likely why no vaccine was successfully developed.
