This has been my experience. I have kids from 6 to 23. They all come running to me anytime they have a technical issue. I’ve tried to teach them troubleshooting steps or how to search for help, but they aren’t interested. As far as they are concerned it should just work and if it doesn’t it’s someone else’s job to figure out why. Their friends all appear to be the same. I know of only one teenager who has a glimmer of interest in understanding what is happening behind the screen.

I wonder how much of it is just playing the odds. Shutting everything down will very likely have a large, but fixed consequence on the economy, which has huge cost, including in lives and health. Whereas biding your time increases the relatively small risk of catastrophic consequences from coronavirus, but avoids the economic consequences. So it comes down to a choice between accepting a known downside, or taking a gamble on a path with the possibility of very little downside, but also much larger worst-case downside. Leaving the expected values of the choices aside, maybe Boris just likes to roll the dice?

There are other considerations, like how well the president/prime minister’s incentives are aligned with the countries. Donald Trump, through very little fault of his own[1], faces the possibility of a failed presidency due to the economic consequences of shutdown. If possible, a president might think it worth swinging for the fences, if he is down a couple of runs in the ninth? If he strikes out, he is no worse than before, although the country is. And Boris has kinda made himself out to be a guy who tries for home runs, at least in his public persona.

There is also the game theoretic considerations on the country level. If all the other countries are doing everything to stop the spread and paying the economic cost, than U.K. can take the benefit of that sacrifice, and not crash it’s own economy.

TV and radio was the same way. My grandfather knew how to replace tubes and test circuits. I knew about adjusting antennas.

So, this is all fascinating and nice advertisement for this racing company which might want to compete in Formula 1... But: what problem is actually solved by this thing?
Maybe people don't understand what a "low dosage vaccine" means? If any vaccine at all can be created in time to help, why not have it be a "full dosage" vaccine and give it to everyone? But starting with young healthy people seems counterproductive, start with those at high risk of catching it (front line healthcare workers) and those at high risk if dying from it.

> To me, blaming "the elderly" for "the climate crisis" and "saddling us with debt" seems stupid beyond words.

Many in that generation selfishly liquidate humanity’s collective equity in the form of Earth’s natural resources and human health that could have grown and generated interest for generations. From a financial perspective they’ve royally fucked up their stewardship of this account. It’s not a good idea to act like every old person is part of the problem, but we have to remember that death is an important part of evolution, and just aim to be less of a collective disappointment to our own successors.
I think this is a very p4 centric view of the world.

Locking helps with preventing collisions, but honestly the issue is still always communication. Why are people even touching files they shouldn't be touching?

Meanwhile perforce is a pain for code heavy projects and requiring a central perforce server. Git works great there.

The issue is neither is a silver bullet for the others workflow and needs, and they both suck horribly for mixed code and binary asset workflows.

That's not even considering cost.

Meanwhile film studios generally prefer keeping the considerations separate and using symlinks or URI to their data store and that works really well. But that doesn't work great for remote workflows.

So again, I think you're applying a very p4, game centric view to this. There are lots of different use cases and team structures that none of these version control systems are able to address in their entirety.
They could have made so much on Empire with that.

Actually, does anyone use Empire anymore with its reliability issues? Dark.fail is like the darknet downforeveryoneorjustme.com and seems like other marketplaces are up a lot more lately.
Sure and the point is discs will much more easily stop you, the limit of the stopping power is not the brake (friction on rim) like they are in cantilevers, but with the overall physics of the system. Discs are generally in alignment, or very very obviously out of alignment (rubbing loudly), canti's have a lot more room for error.

I'd much rather have a brake system that out performs the rest of the equation than not have enough stopping power.
In Seattle, I’m not the only one on my race team that would eat rims every year or two.

Fact is, rim brakes are inferior in every way to just about every alternative, save two: they’re inexpensive and lightweight.
Exactly. Cheap bikes are made out of aluminum, which can fail at any time without warning and cause injury or death. Much better just to pay extra for carbon / steel / titanium. Carbon still fails, but there are more likely to be warnings first, and even if it does fail completely you're not likely to puncture a lung or whatever from it getting impaled through your chest. Steel and titanium shouldn't fail at all unless you're in a bad accident first. Bikes are great, but you need to take seriously the fact that they can cause serious injury or death.
From a PR point of view this is not a clever move. The very phrase 'herd immunity' says a lot about what they think of people. It is also a highly memorable phrase, much like 'shock and awe' and sometimes you just don't need a 'marketing slogan' for something divisive.
What reputable officials are on record regarding re-infection, please?
I agree ICE are never going away, but I do think we're seeing the last "innovations" on ICE engines.

No OEM is going to sink billions into R&D when they know everything will go electric in the near future.

So while you may be able to by an ICE Catapillar D10 or a John Deer Tractor or other machinery in 2050, I'd bet it's engine isn't any different to the 2020 version. Same goes for sports cars.
I wish we could apply price-gouging laws to medical care. But I guess it just seems like normal practice at this point.
> would the speed and wind dillute the aerosol quickly enough to make it harmless?

Basically this. It's a probability thing though.

Indoors, air is stagnant and sneeze droplets can float around for a few hours.

Riding behind another cyclist requires poor luck for enough of their sneeze to impact you.

It's still cool enough for me to wear a face mask too, so that's another (hypothetical) risk reducer.

Plus, a cyclist is a good signal someone doesn't have active respiratory disease.
All of this ignores the moral aspect of sacrificing human lives at the feet of the economy. And, to be fair, it's totally plausible that said leaders are themselves ignoring the moral aspect. But it does matter when we judge them on the actions they decided to take (or not take).
.NET does come close though, given its heritage, specially now that AOT compilation is finally having a proper story (less NGEN and more .NET Native).

Delphi is a victim of its stewards management post Borland.

Last great decision, remove reference counting and back to full manual memory management on the upcoming Delphi version.

Then a casual observer will see two sides apparently debating an issue, and infer a false equivalency. The media is especially guilty of assuming that people who disagree with equal passion must be equally correct. I dont think anyone would claim that bots are improving the quality of discourse.

Almost any project you work on will have an authoritative copy of the repo in some kind of web-accessible tool, most of which provide a tarball-download function.

And GitHub's scheme is pretty much a de-facto standard at this point—GitLab's implementation is an exact copy of it, for example:

https://<host>/<org/project>/archive/<ref/branch/tag>.tar.gz

Edit to add: Also, git-archive --remote is actually most of the way there, but it's not an HTTP download, of course. :(

A Model 3 starts at 3,550lbs, vs 3,241 for a Camry. A model S is not in the same class as a Camry, so comparing them is not useful.

A better comparison- a Mercedes S Class, starts at 4,500lbs to the 4,800lbs of a Tesla Model S.

In both cases there’s a mere 300lb difference (less than 10%), which is way under the 1500lbs/ 50% difference your argument is based on.
Its not a racing company, it’s a boutique automaker, the beauty resides that they are not solving any problem. They are using their talents to push the automotive technology to the limits for the fun and glory. Your yoga-dog walking app solves a lot of problems I guess.
It's hard to do logging well, but some logs are better than no logs for the purposes of visibility. When something goes wrong and you need to audit the event trail, you reach for logs. If you don't have visibility when things go wrong, the first thing you do is add them so you get visibility.

I was originally inclined to say this article was written by an amateur at best and at worst, an edgy contrarian with questionable intentions. It looks like the rather is somewhat the truth. The author is the author of the `returns` [1] python library, which aims to "make your functions return something meaningful, typed and safe" -- is this the end result? No logging?

Are we to live in some kind of statically typed utopia where users never do unexpected things, the domain model never changes on a dime, algorithms never have edge cases and software is all formally provable, easy to reason about, purely functional and stateless? I can almost assure you that management at any customer facing firm will disagree on whether logging is necessary or not, for reasons that are obvious for anyone who has ever talked to a customer in their life.

Not to wax philosophical and get overly personal for a second, but why does FP have this effect on some of its practitioners? Is what happens when you spend too much time in the cathedral of academia that you forget how eldritch monstrosities can be built and maintained in any style of code, with any sophistication of typing system or automated theorem prover or formal verification? That the problems often come in at the requirements level, and that much of the job of the engineer is honing, refining and disambiguating the requirements deeper than the business otherwise can? There is no escape at the code level, only at the organization level.

The vast majority of people simply redefine the terms to fit whatever they are selling.

If your systems are immutable they can run read-only. In the in nineties Tripwire, the integrity checker, popularized it. You could run it off cdrom. Today immutable infrastructure is VMs/containers that can be ran off a SAN or a pass through file system that is readonly. It means snapshots are completely and immediately replicatable. When you need to deploy, you take a base image/container, install a code onto it, run tests to ensure that it is not broken and replicate it as many times as you need, in a read-only state. This approach also has an interesting property where because system is readonly ( as in exported to the instance read-only/mounted by the instance readonly ) it is extremely difficult to do nasty things to it after a break in - if it is difficult to create files, it is difficult to stage exploits.

That's the only kind of infrastructure where configuration management on the instances themselves is not needed

You better hope this isn't true and the virus doesn't have any lasting effects on reproductive health.
The WHO has already named the virus SARS-CoV-2, which perfectly distinguishes it.

Commonly, the pathogen is referred to as coronavirus.

As I said, I don't have any particular problem with naming a virus after its location. I think it's natural to do so when a novel pathogen arises in a particular area.

But that doesn't mean we have to. Billions around the world are calling it simply coronavirus, the WHO has named it SARS-CoV-2, and its only your small group of right wing activists that are bizarrely insisting we rename the virus. You are the thoughtpolice.
I cycled approximately 5000 kilometers per year (cycling to work + over the weekends), also through hilly terrain. I have never had my brakes eat my rims.

Also, even if they did. Replacing a 800 Euro bike once per two years is peanuts compared to owning a car or taking public transport.
Parts of it certainly could be...but a major difference is Federal law versus state/city law. In Iceland where you basically have one city where everyone lives it's all sorta the same thing no? In the US, that can vary widely. Texas is incredibly different from Washington state not to mention Houston vs. Seattle.

Personally think there's got to be parts of this though that would be applicable somewhere. Seems rash to be completely dismissive (and to be fair not much of that in these comments).
I agree. Hopefully the big take away (and what people should have been doing all along even before covid-19), is if you feel at all sick, stay home.
That's a little self-referential, no?

> but your comments sound like "we have a proof of concept that this issue could be solved, therefore it is solved".

What? No. This is about more people showing up to a foreclosure auction because they heard about the guy that bid $0 by being the only person at the foreclosure auction, and flipped a property for $4mm.

And then you have an actual market.

The auction house itself doesn't need to be patched. The auction process doesn't need to be patched. If the auction house has sympathy for the people that got foreclosed on then they can do whatever they want to compensate them from their own pocket, they can automatically do that in case a reserve bid isn't met, but the fact that the auction occurred in a timely fashion is proper behavior.
Indeed, that would mean a staggering 1.618×10⁻⁵ FLOPS.
Ask HN: Can we collectively build a C19 test location site?
Right now there's no one stop place to know where you can get tested for coronavirus in the US or globally. Nobody else is building this that I am aware of.

It seems like the HN community is well positioned to actually do this. So I could host it but I'd need others to help build it and source data.

Edit. I just registered c19testlocations.com
Well clearly. Almost everyone alive today is an "electricity native", but it's only a very small minority that can safely install wiring and the like. Everyone else just interacts with the consumerized version of it where everything interesting but potentially dangerous has been abstracted away. There is no reason to believe that younger people are more savvy about the workings of digital technology just because they grew up with consumerized versions of it.
> Why does a rich guy's wish for a "cool sound" in his sports car justify being a nuisance to other people?

Not so much in pure sports cars, but some performance sedans have started to pipe engine sounds in through the stereo due to a combination of the engines being quieter and the sound isolation being better - but owners who pay more for the engines want to hear them.

Seems like a good solution for everyone...

Based on some of the great feedback we added a "How it Works" page to describe the problem we're solving in detail and how to test out its value without even trying Keyory. I will say the more I write about this and by the questions I see some people asking their teams on Keyory, people definitely get it. https://keyory.com/home/how
In the sense that passenger cars aren’t causing really any wear and tear to our major roadways, this is absolutely true.

However, the value of having those major highways is still extremely high to passenger cars and trucks alike.

I benefit greatly from well maintained roads, even if my use of those roads is not damaging the road basically at all.

So you need a weighted analysis of use and value as well as wear & tear to come up with a “fair” allocation of costs.

Even people who don’t own a car benefit greatly from those roads, due to their logistical necessity for everyday life, not to mention mail and package delivery to their homes. To the extent that passenger car drivers overpay for their commensurate road wear & tear, car owners are subsidizing non-car-owners because the goods they buy are cheaper than they would be if they had to pay for the true fully loaded logistics cost.

You could charge the trucking companies more. Then prices of transported goods would just increase to compensate and we’d all be roughly back in the same place maybe? Non-car owners would be worse off.

To the extent that roads are being subsidized more than rail then this would distort the market and limit freight volumes. I have a feeling that the markets are not tremendously out of balance, and that it’s not like we’re sitting on massive unused rail freight capacity that just can’t operate profitably because roads aren’t expensive enough? But that’s a whole different topic.

Preparation and panic are not the same. Do not expect to rely on conveniences like deliveries, they are merely conveniences and can stop.

It is very possible to run out access to necessities. I don't believe food itself will be in any significant shortage, but you might not get to it.

If you fall sick, you'll need to self-isolate and not leave the house for several weeks. So you need to be ready to do so.

Even if you remain healthy, access to supermarkets may have restrictions (see Italy today). While you can get food, you might need to line up for a few hours, increasing your exposure. Best to have a few weeks of food at home for when your area is in this stage.

The alternative to preparation is to wait until you need to panic. Not recommended.

I would get rim brakes over another set of cable disc brakes. I recently got a gravel bike as my "go anywhere" bike, and the cable disc brakes are absolute garbage, constantly going out of adjustment and rubbing, making noise, or just being ineffective. As a contrast, my hydraulics on my mountain bike are absolutely fine with minimal work, just a flush every year and changing the pads when they wear down.

But they're bicycling to some place with other people, so it's not like they're out of close contact with others. Although I suppose it's still better than having that same contact and the additional contact of public transport.
I can't help but think you seriously misinterpreted what I wrote. At the very least, I am unable to interpret your response.

I will pick two specific things:

"Are you seriously arguing that state laws aren't subject to the constitution?"

My question, restated, is what part of the US constitution do you think prohibits anti-gouging laws?

Is it the commerce clause? Is it a civil rights violation?

As a concrete example, Maryland's price gouging law concerning generic drug pricing was found unconstitutional in 2018, because of its effect on interstate commerce - http://www.fdalawblog.net/2018/04/fourth-circuit-finds-maryl... .

However, the anti-gouging laws discussed here are not interstate commerce. So, what is non-constitutional argument you refer to?

"You could count [prosecutions] on one hand."

Really? What is the basis for your statement?
