Better sick leave and CDC funding would not do anything to alleviate volatility in the repurchase operations markets.

This is providing loans to banks so they can more easily capitalize themselves during this period of severe volatility. It is the specific purpose of the reserve banking system. It's not about stopping the virus.

Ask HN: Why people pay SEO tools?
I've been in a project that they need to improve the website and keep coming with the SEO importance.

Beyond I believe advertising is broken right now, I am a developer that feels confident with tools like Lighthouse and passing the basic checks will do the trick.

But it seems there is more behind. One of the major existential doubts I have is: Why are so many companies doing paid backlink checks and stealing money to the customers?

Do exist an Open Source initiative to give some clarity to this problem and reduce unnecessary costs and break the spending flywheel for normal users/companies?
A quick google suggests around 15% of hospital beds are ICU and covid 19 cases that end up in the hospital, only 5% end up in ICU. So that's an interesting line of thinking but it lacks supporting evidence that covid 19 is overwhelming ICU.

edit to address your edit: The mortality rate is often wildly inflated with new diseases. That's because most people don't seem to understand real mortality rate vs confirmed cases mortality rate. Obviously when a disease is new the confirmed cases will be confirmed against the people showing serious symptoms. Then when you pretend deaths/confirmed cases == mortality rate you end up with a wildly inflated mortality rate. Until we understand how many people are asymptomatic we won't have a real mortality rate that is reliable.
Flare up is my biggest concern; this is what the Spanish Flu did.
I'm in Canada but the investigation was with both the FBI and RCMP. The FBI offered tech assistance with encryption matters as well according to emails between the two agencies.
Similar. I used to really like Airbnb and had a few great stays years back. But now I almost never even check it because the extra costs pile up and there are more disadvantages than advantages. I mostly stay in smaller motels where it is often the owner at the front desk, you can bank on someone being there to check you in at 10pm, etc.
yep, the best part is the white house streams a ton of stuff and you can go in the youtube and watch it all anytime you want. that's how i get my info.

of course twits love to read sources that already follow their own personal narrative.
I write Rust as my day job and I still consider it a complex language. There's a lot of non trivial things encoded in the type system. Send/Sync, Pin, async/await, object safety, borrowing, ownership, I could go on.

It's also pretty different to what most people are used to. I found it a approach to polymorphism refreshing, coming from Haskell, but that's not a typical pathway. The average Java dev will need some time to get used to how extensive generics are in the language.
As a reminder, the code block formatting you used is only supposed to be used for code. It renders any text of moderate length extremely difficult to read on mobile.
It's like 99% of the population have no idea why the reserve banking system exists.
The link above goes to paying her legal team. Her fine will come from her own funds separately. Your lawyers don't pay your fines, you do personally.

Ideally, her legal team or someone would put up a separate fundraiser for her fine, that goes specifically to paying that. I for one would definitely donate.

That sounds plausible. What exactly do you think this harm looks like?
For all those interested in how Singapore can possibly be a duality of "sometimes good sometimes bad", just look at how Singapore treats its Malay population as second class citizens.

For example, if a Singaporean Malay marries a Malaysian Malay, there is still a large chance their Permanent Residency application will be denied. This usually doesn't happen to someone who marries Han Chinese, of which Singapore is 70%.
Ms. Manning. Thank you. Living a life under public scrutiny isn't for everyone. I appreciate your sacrafice and sticking to what you felt was right.
whenever this comes up at the bar or with random friends i am amused at how much people think that preparing for something was not worth it because the problem did not happen.

this is basically ALL OF LIFE in IT OPERATIONS. lol.
What do you consider large?

I think classes without internal state, can be large and still simple to understand. But if many mutable fields and internal constraints, then things can get complicated. Better keep such classes smaller
> It doesn't matter what the Federalist papers say, as far as the Constitution is concerned, since the Federalist papers are not a body of law.

No, in fact it matters very much when the question is what the writers of the Constitution meant and intended.

> The states can literally, and perfectly legally, vote to grant the government additional powers as they deem necessary, without holding a Constitutional congress and ratifying new amendments each time.

Sure, the States can vote themselves social welfare, or anything else that the Constitution doesn't prohibit. You could have California Social Security with no constitutional issues at all. That is clear. It's the federal government that cannot do so -- or at least cannot under the obvious and intended reading of the constitution.
I'd pay just for what she did. It would be nice if she pointed us to a place where we can donate directly to her.
You cannot legally be jailed for failing to pay a debt, even to the legal system; you can be jailed for refusing to do so, but that requires ability to pay.
> I for one wouldn’t give a shit at this point, I’d say just about anything to make these people leave me alone. Another problem with the coercion aspect of this, my testimony couldn’t be trusted...

The punishment for that is a jail sentence for the actual crime of lying under oath they call it perjury... You're not actually getting out of prison doing that unless you can lie without ever messing up or contradicting something the state already knows.

It's a tricky line subpoenas need some method of enforcement or they're basically toothless but there's definitely a line where contempt of court goes too far.
I think the point is that all of this can be implemented purely in software that runs at the OS level, or even application level. There's no need to put this in a place where it's difficult to update/patch, and is entirely opaque and user-hostile to the point that the actual end-owner of the hardware can reasonably be sure they know what it does and can control what it does.

In other words: I don't want a backdoor into my system that I can't examine or disable.
Please don't perpetuate those lies.
Right, but the primary reason you would support Manning is because you believe the government is in the wrong and that the $256k is considered coercive because the government is using it to pressure her into doing something that isn't in her best interest in regards to a fair trial.

So the goal would be to pay lawyer fees to fight the $256k of fees.
I think if I had a theory that became popularized, I, too, would have legitimate concern that people were using that theory imprecisely—-ie incorrectly. Ive noticed that as ideas get popularized they get watered down or misapplied. Think Agile.

I know this misses your point, but both at work and outside I've gotten into the practice of emailing immediately after a phone call with a summary of the phone call. It's kind of a lawyerly thing to do, but it's a contemporaneous documentation of the phone call you can point to later.

Analyze your 'meet in person or in group interactions' to see if those roles can be dealt with via e-mail, e-voice conference, or other interactive group collaboration. The use of many of these has been driven by Covid-19.
In truth, all word processing, coding, meetings etc all have online means to do this that give a high degree of close collaboration.
It would seemd a suite of these aps that you all use would work. There will be a learning period, but it is quite doable, as you have all the tools in use now..

> Imprisonment clearly isn't enough to coerce her into complying

By your logic, we should not imprison recidivist criminals, as prison is clearly not enough to deter them from further crimes. So we should just give up, shrug and release them, because apparently nothing can be done about it. In fact, if the criminal solemnly swears they'd go back to the life of crime as soon as they are released from prison, we should immediately release them as it is clear that keeping them in prison would not coerce them to comply with the law, and thus is completely pointless.
Note that neither the article nor the headline mention a "Coronavirus shield". That's just the HN headline. In fact, the article never even mentions the Coronavirus at all.

The article headline is "Pandemic Prevention Platform (P3)"

Mods, maybe change it to that?
How I Made My First $1k on Fiverr with No Social Media Presence
But that assertion is based on a set of assumptions that come back to information theory and hence computability.

You are right that in modern information theory exact precision on a continuum is physically impossible (for others: as we continue to subdevide the precision we require more bits of information, which has known physical limits).

But what I think the other posters was getting at is that if the universe runs on a machine that is not bound by those rules, say rules where arbitrary precision on a continuum can be stored as a value (which again violates physicality as we know it but such a machine is "outside" the universe so physicality is moot already), then that is possible.

Which is to say the universe is a machine which can compute things a Turing machine can't (a Turing machine can compute everything that can be computed that we are aware of, ergo if the universe can compute things it can't then the assertion being made - albeit somewhat clumsily - is that the universe doesn't follow the asserts we know).
I don't think so. This is not a case like where we need a bunch of steal but the steel mills are closed so we have to buy the Chinese steel so (as any good business-folks will do) they raise prices 8-fold (see Oakland Bay Bridge Fiasco). The reagents for these tests are all made in america, or would take a few days to ramp up. I once made enough Taq polymerase in 12 hours to supply a lab for 12 years doing 200 PCRs a day. A single person can make gram quantities of the required oligos (enough for 100,000 PCR reactions) in any one of 500 labs in the Bay area alone in 12 hours. RT takes an hour. Amplification takes 4 hours. The readout for a sample can be done 1500 at a time in one second. There are no excuses.
Unfortunately this clause was specifically litigated and we lost.

More specifically, can Congress achieve unlimited terms with regular copyright extensions to existing copyright? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldred_v._Ashcroft ruled that they can. However their next attempt to extend has so far failed.

We will find out in 2024 whether they get it together, or whether Mickey Mouse enters the public domain after all...like it should have done in 1984. (That was the maximum that could have been expected when Steamboat Willie was released.)
Yeah idk, just sounds a bit dramatic / alarmist.

The media would love this term. Maybe you should try patent it.
According to his own words, yes. I knew lamo for just shy of 20 years.

I will not defend his character; his regular drug abuse and mental health issues could make him unpredictable, mean, vicious, etc. I've never called him a friend, but he was a peer, had a keen mind, and was fascinatingly unique.

I'm not defending him, but as someone that spent years conversing with him and sharing information, both online and in person, including discussions about this exact topic: Yeah, it really messed him up. Anyone that he was comfortable conversing with would say the same.
Is there some trust that cannot be touched by a lien placed by the government?

They were making a 3 in 1 kit, but that's because the 1 was an internal control and the other 2 were two different places in the viral genome in case one mutated and became silent.
> but it will recover! How do I know that? Because crashes have happened in the past, and the world didn't collapse and disappear.

I’m being facetious with this specific instance, but how would you know? If many worlds had disappeared after catastrophes many times before, we might have no ability to know.

This is “survivor bias”, no?
Good point. Changed it. Got the DARPA press release title confused with the popular mechanics article. :) Thanks.
Just the virus? I got tired of playing the game. I might save save 20 dollars in some instances but then have to throw something heavy in the way of the door so that other "guests" didn't break and steal stuff in the middle of the night. A business model without healthy standards isn't much of a business model.
Any standard first year undergrad level biology book will describe how to run an RT-PCR test (which is what they are doing). None of the reagents and processes are difficult to make or source.
It all sounds good but I’m not sure if they could do all that in 60 days with human trials needed to test actual efficiency, toxicity, etc. If you are talking about just a candidate drug yeah, that is possible with today’s tech.
I’ve taken Go’s approach to error handling in new typescript projects. I want to force my team into thinking about IO errors. I want failures to be part of the domain since stack traces only kinda work in Node. We will only throw exceptions if someone didn’t program for bulls properly. Everything else is a Failure instance passed up the call chain. Annoying, but our testing and code-thoughtfulness have gone up.
Presidents being impeached (and their administrations) have always refused Congress's requests for testimony and documentation.

Congress can take the President to court and compel documents and testimony (or else face contempt of court and imprisonment like Manning). The House did exactly that for Nixon and Cliton.

For Trump, the House chose not to do that, because (I believe) it would slow them down, and that wasn't acceptable to them.
You shouldn't discount the psychological factor of these things. Today, 1 day after the big move by the US to ban flights from Europe, we're seeing a lot more movement from various governments and states in taking action against the virus' spread. So even though the action itself might not be that useful, it's big enough that it gets people attention and it seems to have moved people across governments into more action.
Thanks Cockroach team!

I'm very excited about the possibility of moving to you guys, especially since it's a drop-in replacement for Postgres. The one thing holding us back today is postgis replacement. We rely heavily on it for location calculations and route path saving.

Grand juries are a normal part of the system for determining if a case should continue to go to trial they had no power to put Assange in prison.
Thank you. Since the publication isn't even dated, it could have been written 30 years ago because it's only buzzword soup.

Example:

> A principal benefit of the nucleic-acid-based approach to limiting the spread of infection is that genetic constructs introduced into the body would process quickly and not integrate into an individual’s genome. Similarly, the antibodies produced in response to treatment would only be present in the body for weeks to months. This is consistent with DARPA's intent to safely deliver transient immunity, halting the spread of disease by creating a firewall, and buying time for longer-term medical responses to be developed and deployed.

The difference I see between Twitter bots and the other classical examples you mentioned is that anyone and their grandmother can make a destructive Twitter bot on a given day, with comparably little effort, negligible expenses, high anonymity, and hardly any traceability. Which I mean is basically the foundation of Twitter: it's based on the premise that everyone's speech should have worldwide reach with absolutely minimal effort. Whether the larger picture is a good thing or a bad thing, it does mean the bot problem is very much a novel problem and you can't just pretend is similar to the classical ones and deal with it the same way.
Ah, I forgot about the Russian exception in the Constitution.
Not sure I actually understand why K is pushed here almost daily.

Most programmers find k interesting. k is fast. k is small. k & APL are great as a tool of thought. It has a "lost art" feel. It's an intellectually satisfying endeavor.

Do many people here deal with array computation?

Like three Dyalog employees occasionally contribute to discussion, fintech employees make up like 10% of the people regularly writing comments on the site, and array programming is incredibly popular when in disguise and made less efficient as Python (numpy), pretty much essential for multiple subfields of computer science, so forth.

K is also supposedly fast—not once have I seen an explanation of what makes it fast

People talk about it all the time here, though. 'geocar mentions why in almost every thread, and he should know: he helped write an operating system in the language.

and why those techniques aren't looted for open-source languages.

Because they don't want to believe it to be true! When told you're messing up something simple, you have to question your assumptions a bit. People hate doing this, especially when they've invested time in seeing them through.

Is K in fact a thin layer on top of assembler (specifically SIMD and other extensions), for number crunching in the vein of shaders/CUDA?

k is higher-level than C, Haskell, Rust, etc.
Based on my observations of poor people with debts at local courthouses, this is a strictly theoretical legal position. It is a fact that poor people are charged money for their time spent in local jails. It is a further fact that when they can't pay those bills they are jailed again, and charged more money for this additional time in jail. I'm in Missouri, so if you want more details about this you can see anything about Ferguson.

I've been partial to superdeterminism for a long time, but I have no idea how one would go about testing it. In fact, it seems as unfalsifiable as many-worlds or other theories. Do you have a suggestion?
I think I understand what the author means.

When writing Java code I prefer to use public members in my data classes and only use getters/setters sparingly. Also, I prefer to have the logic in until classes if I can. I suppose I'm not a huge OOP fan.

Of course I have to follow whatever patterns my teammates follow and hardly anyone writes Java like that... But my personal projects I think have much cleaner and easier to understand code with this approach.
Good to see a link from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences! I did my Masters thesis there.
Sometimes, I wonder if even that last part is the case. A lot of people do absolutely insane things for short term convenience.
> They make no sense, but that's why the meme works. AA is free and you talk to people about your issues, it's hard to see why it's wrong, which is why people love the meme.

this isn't a very charitable take. there are a lot of legitimate reasons to be skeptical about AA. to an outsider, the tone and content of the twelve steps can seem pretty weird. why abstinence only, and why don't coffee and cigarettes count? why are people prohibited from identifying themselves as a drug addict in some AA meetings (as if alcohol is not itself a drug)? why does AA itself collect essentially no data that could be used to determine the efficacy of the program? why do courts mandate attending AA but not other similar support groups?

the old adage "it's hard to beat free" certainly applies here, but I wouldn't casually discount all the negative stories in this thread from addicts that tried AA.
I don't know about this one specifically, but in the past, they've taken advantage of the fact that a lot of these scams claim to be Windows tech support and the like. With a creative application of US trademark laws, which allow manufacturers to seize counterfeit goods, they got a court order allowing them to seize the domains and computers hosting the "counterfeit" Microsoft websites.
