No doubt we've done that when the topics are separate, but that's not the case here. It doesn't make sense to have one front-page story about San Francisco banning public events, another about Denmark doing it, another about Italy doing it, three more about specific events that have been canceled, and so on. Front page space is the scarcest resource on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...) and the most important thing is that it not be spent too repetitively.

If you or anyone is interested in how we approach this, I recently wrote https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22527396 about it, and there are lots of links there to previous descriptions.
it's really great, that results will be in one hour!

I hire remote for a number of reasons but one of the key drivers is cost savings. Between location and the fact that some people will work for less so they can work from anywhere I'm able to hire exceptional talent for well-below in-office market rates. Yes there are many poorly run companies paying below-market salaries. THere are also some that are well run and paying below-market salaries.
same. I did not think I would even think about this, and now I don't know what I should to with this information, gotta share this with someone
More accurately, I think, we have let very cynical people take control of everything important. So in matters of policy it's reasonable to assume extreme cynicism.
You can add soft rubber rings to dampen that sound almost completely: https://www.wasdkeyboards.com/cherry-mx-rubber-o-ring-switch...

So we would have had a nice regular calendar back then.
You'd be detained but if you asserted you are a US citizen they are obligated to try and establish the truth of your claim. They'll call family and friends and access government records. In an edge case, I imagine they'd hold a hearing with an immigration judge.

In college, friends of mine frequently went out partying in Tijuana and occasionally lost their passports. They were usually held for a few hours at the border crossing and given a hard time and a stern lecture about responsible behaviour before being readmitted to the US.
You can take God as an euphemism for nature or more general something beyond your control. If he exists he probably wouldn't hold it against you. You don't have to deceive yourself to a degree to believe it. You probably can watch a Batman movie without believing in Batman.

I would be skeptical too and it can certainly have a negative impact on addiction groups. Although I would think these negative factors to be worse for people actually believing it. Some people classify them as a sect, but I wouldn't go that far to be honest.

But if it doesn't work for you, I think there are other groups or those that set the focus elsewhere.
Let's look at South Korea. The number of daily cases has been declining for a week. There are currently 7,869 cases there. Let's just say that despite the current trend the number of cases manages to increase to 20,000. That would mean around 0.04% of the population of South Korea would be affected. They currently have a death rate of 0.8% but there are still many active cases. Let's say that doubles to 1.6% which would put it in line with regions of China other than Hubei. If we apply that infection rate and mortality rate to the US population (328,000,000 * .0004 * .016) that gives a total number of deaths of 2,099.

The numbers don't need any mitigating factors but those do exist as well. I don't see South Korea doing anything more extreme than what could be done in the US so that doesn't show the US would be worse. The population density of South Korea is 15x that of the US so that would probably mean the infection rate would be lower in the US. The median age is also higher in South Korea and since this disease affects older people more that would also make the outlook for America better.
Widely accepted back at least as far as Shakespeare. The objection that it's incorrect is what's recent.
iOS - you can disable background processes on a per app basis.

A local app doesn’t have access to a data outside of its own sandbox unless the user explicitly gives it to them and then it’s still limited.
If it's an expense program, then there could be policies and constraints which limit the types of purchases employees can make.

That could make a significant difference in terms of usage and spending of these funds.

There doesn't seem to be any official announcement of the program on Shopify's blog or social media so far.

It's probably best to assume that journalists are acting in good faith to uncover the full story and to discover details which might be relevant for their audience either now or retrospectively when people look back on these events in future.
This is probably explained by tidal breaking, which requires things like leap seconds.

What ever happened to Hololens revision 2? Wasn't that supposed to be announced last year?
When is too late to act? Clearly Italy acted too late. I've been plotting the actual case data, in an attempt to get some idea of where countries lie with respect to Italy:

https://twitter.com/MarkJHandley/status/1237781162153717760

These are not strictly predictions, but they give some idea of what will happen if we act in a similar way to Italy. Note that there's a 6 to 10 day lag in the stats (~6 days incubation, up to 4 days testing, at least in the UK right now). Without isolation measures, we're seeing 33% per day increase rates. If we wait until we can measure the scale of the problem, it's likely to be too late to prevent it.
Gitlab's remote manifesto speaks to me in so many ways. I'd also love to work for Gitlab anyway. But, alas, I don't know Ruby on Rails and I think it's too late for me to gain the proficiency that I'd require for my expected salary from Gitlab. Are there any fully remote companies doing Python?
Interestingly, that article doesn't mention the theory that I think is most promising – that there was potentially a higher concentration of oxygen in the air when the dinosaurs were around, making it easier to get enough oxygen even if you were much larger in size.
I am not the OP. Seems like you should be able to set up two break beam detectors: one per set of cones. Process detector output into digital form where you get a pulse when the detector is broken. Connect them to a microcontroller input and use a fast counter in input capture/compare mode to measure time between pulses. A counter running at 1 MHz (1 us) should do.
Even supposing politicians all act 100% selfishly, they'd still want to do everything possible to mitigate the effects of the pandemic: for themselves and their own families, even if for nobody else.
AR won't give you "Automatic translations (on cue)"

It will only be able to do what current technology allows. IE Magic Lens / Google's Product

AR is not AI, it won't magically solve complex problems.

As I stated I have been in other countries with the tech, I have not been embarrassed to use it. I have never used it. Neither has anyone I have been with. In real life these situations just don't present themselves.

Have you used the current tech? I fail to believe you haven't because you are too embarrassed every time, if it's "very useful in almost any setting or environment".
It depends, a lot of european countries right now are banning events that have more than 1000 people, schools are closing down and simmilar places. Technically, they need to push the agenda even further as everyone should buy more so that the economy would not collapse as it is already near that
Can you share about how it helped you?
> All solvable problems. Even in a recession. With political will...

I have some bad news.
would you mind to elaborate a little more about this ?
I'd like to see how many tech companies are showing a profit when they IPO.

ALso, 500M is a lot of money but it's not THAT much money when you're running a multi-billion dollar company and responsible for delivering billions in revenue. To get those numbers you have to invest in things. NBC isn't sitting around wondering if they can eek out another million dollars of ad buys for the TODAY show this quarter.
I don't know the answer to your question, but in addition to the mechanisms you mention there's at least one more: there's some evidence that fear in general, and fear of death in particular, tends to make people more supportive of right-wing authoritarian government.

(I don't mean to imply that right-wing = authoritarian; I pair them together because my recollection is that the research in question was specifically about right-wing authoritarianism and not about rightism generally or authoritarianism generally.)

So (1) to whatever extent the GOP is authoritarian as well as right-wing, or at least pushes the same psychological buttons that authoritarian rightists do, it might benefit from having a population that feels afraid, and (2) maybe Mr Trump would have done better politically with something along the lines of "This is a deadly epidemic, sweeping in from scary foreign countries, and only your strong President can protect you and keep you safe". I guess the restriction on air travel from Europe may be intended as a bit of a pivot in that direction.

It is slightly laughable to complain about Microsoft selling their AR glasses for €3500 when their direct competitor would (will?) be Apple, who have no qualms selling a €1000 aluminium stand or €50 000 desktop computer. Expect a solid premium over Microsoft's pricing.
Put spacers on your keys. They're cheap, and in addition to muting most of the bottom-out thud, they eat up a lot of the force and spare your knuckles, too.

To install them, find the cheapest kind of ballpoint and pull out the tip and ink tube. The body tube is just the right size to press the spacers onto the key stems. It's miles easier than anything else I've ever tried.

Before spacers, the helpdesk complained about my keyboard noise. The helpdesk! After, no one did.
When was there ever free education in the US? Yes, tuition was vastly cheaper in the past, but it wasn't free.
Even in small towns and villages people had privacy inside their houses, farms etc.

No, they really didn't. Homes were tiny compared to modern American homes. Walls were often thin. Windows were often simply openings in the wall with no glass.

That's exactly part of my point. And it's well documented, though it may not seem obvious to modern Americans who tend to project images of modern homes onto the past.
This is completely illogical. How many apps that could be web apps actually are paid apps? How is Apple making money on free apps?
Two countries doing minimal or no testing are not reporting any cases?

Shocking.

Unfortunately, in the US system at least, you don’t get to vote out a politician. All you can do is vote in a different person.

That distinction makes for a world of difference in voting behavior.
This looks like a positive step in a healthy direction. Attacking the garden walls, upgrade ratchets and incompatible proprietary formats and protocols would also be positive steps with related benefits. Locking customers into one platform and then changing the software and protocols that form the foundations of that platform in ways that break backward compatibility results in a lot of unnecessary wastage in all of physical equipment, user data and the financial costs paid by users.
I don't think making an observation about a company's lack of innovation comes off the wrong way at all. Apple hasn't done anything new and noteworthy in some time. That's fine. Pointing it out is fine too.
I'm not even entirely unsympathetic to that line of thought, but the big problem is that my parents and grandparents are in the risk group too, and they're in no way in the 'I got mine', 'Ok Boomer', 'fuck your future and fuck the environment' cohort.

And I suspect many of the 'elderly' that I don't personally care about are similarly innocent.
Nop, (luckily) no secrets.

The stack was fairly deep actually. But I had no interest to preserve it.
I can see how counting the rings can tell you that there were 372 rotations per revolution vs today's 365 rotations per revolution. What I don't get is how you correlate that to shorter days. Wasn't the Earth's revolution on a different period back then too?

If you assume the revolution period was same back then as it is now... sure, half an hour difference I get it. Or are we assuming that the rotation is changing faster than the revolution?
For an all-remote, international company, "the market" at both ends of that process is "the world".
I'm in the camp of climate change is real, the human impact is grossly overstated. More importantly, we have bigger, more pressing issues. #1 is pollution, especially water pollution. We're still dumping toxic chemicals all over the planet. #2 is water management. On the east coast of the US, we're tearing up millions of acres of farm land to build suburbs while California is trying to grow food in the desert. Aquifers are being depleted in several states. There's a real looming disaster and it's got nothing to do with CO2.
Except there's not necessarily any malice exposed by this explanation.

To incur massive economic cost is literally deadly. For example, in the UK austerity is blamed for tens of thousands of deaths (some people say 130,000, others 30,000). The unpalatable fact is that trade-offs need to be made when deciding how to tackle this.

In the case of covid-19 I don't envy anyone who has to make these decisions, due to the exponential nature of infection spread making small changes in measures potentially have big results. We are all in uncharted territory. Hopefully the examples of countries such as Italy will help decision makers get it right, or perhaps more importantly will influence peoples' behaviour to reduce transmission.

Also, I think he's wrong about the Y axis equalling "deaths" - the point is to keep cases manageable by the health system, which minimises deaths. Dragging things out doesn't necessarily improve outcomes for at-risk people.
What about AirPods?
Yes, you should get paid the same. That's exactly what they are doing. Stop thinking about it in terms of cost to them and think about compensation to the employees. The cost to Gitlab of paying a competitive salary in London vs Berlin is going to be very different. But both developers will receive the same benefits relative to their location. Remember, you can't eat money, you can't drive money or live in money. Paying people the same dollar amount means the actual lifestyle of employees doing the same job will be vastly different.
I remember trying a VR game in a shopping centre in Malta of all places in the 90s. They strapped you in a harness and you walked on an omnidirectional treadmill within a "ring".

The game was basic, early "3d" (in the gaming sense), low polygon, low resolution, no depth or actual streoscopic, but this was the 90s.

I tried to check it out again on a subsequent visit to Malta but it had of course gone. Real shame, I saw nothing of its kind for decades later.
I definitely noticed that the removed the esc key :)
For those who don't know, KaiOS is a closed-source proprietary fork of Mozilla's abandoned FirefoxOS for mobile devices. It's become extremely popular for low-end feature phones in the developing world.

The problem is that every big website operator wants to make it work correctly for you, and they (1) have different definitions for success and (2) assume you're incompetent.

In the first point, there's someone with a requirements document that assumes every country has one official language and everyone in that country speaks that language, and so feels successful and internationalization-ready when a geo-IP served page is automatically switched to the "correct" language (much like "Falsehoods programmers believe about names").

Second, configuring a computer's locale to set a browser's request headers correctly is beyond the technical expertise of many users. It would be better if things were consistent, but at the point where some locales were set incorrectly and some were uniquely set intentionally your analytics would have showed that you improved the situation on average by trying to guess the locale (screwing over users who knew how to use their computer) than by respecting it and eventually getting everyone to understand how to set their desired language.
He did pick one of the worst sites. The whole site is a design disaster with lots of times not working vids.
It's not about being easy to defeat.

It's scummy on the economist's side from a SEO perspective which I absolutely hate in all media outlets that do this.

If the full article is allowed to be indexed by a search engine, the expectation is to be able to get the _same_ result as the search engine is seeing when you click through.

This is clearly a cheap way to rank higher in search results. If you don't want non-paying users to read, then the same excerpt should be shown to the search engine.

Well, it might have some downstream impact on public transportation proposals.
From Europe, that reminds me a lot of Chernobyl time in 1986:

- Everybody speaks about it.

- Nobody has seen it yet (at least where the people I know live).

- The invisible threat seems to be everywhere.

- Everybody is changing its basic behavior (now: often wash hands, do not shake hands or kiss, avoid crowds, think twice before visiting elderly... then: avoid sandboxes and playgrounds for children, avoid rain, avoid certain foods like mushrooms or salads...).

In a few words, it is a deadly shadow spreading on the world... it shakes the world and it will pass.

The covid crisis is climate change set to fast forward. The laughable CEI types who decry "prognosticators of doom" will be the toilet paper hoarders of climate change, angrily demanding government bailouts as the ripple effects of decreased global productivity and increased instability bite.
My theory is that insects got larger because of the higher oxygen. And then everything else all the way up the food chain had to get bigger too.
Maybe it because they know this virus very well.
In a small town there's mutual recognition. With surveillance there's a control by a small few. What would we think of surveillance apparatus if everyone could see the information equally?

The other aspect of a small town is that you can choose not to be seen. There are many more places to seek solitude. In cities, even parks are covered in cameras nowadays.

Access to solitude has been a human norm--at least in a free society. The dehumanizing effects of taking away access to solitude, removing the ability to sequester oneself, is one of the important historical lessons of the 20th century, from the holocaust up through to the end of the GDR.

yes gitlab is nice, i use it personally. i wasn't implying otherwise. Gitlab is a copy of github, everything was exactly the same as github until few yrs ago. Like feature by feature replication. I really don't think they did anything truly innovative like github did.

>Anyways nothing in life is black or white

yea ofcourse, you seem to drawn a false implication that copycat = bad, which is obviously not the case like you pointed out.
His travel ban was for schengen EUrope countries, many refer to them as Europe, when they are only part of it. Much the same way that some think the UK is leaving Europe and fail to grasp the difference of economic areas and tectonic plates.
I think the major tech companies aka Apple, Google, Microsoft, or even Facebook and Oracle etc where all profitable at IPO. You might get a lot of unprofitable tech IPO’s, but they are less likely to last and thus grow.
I've been using this Live Science web page which appears to be fairly regularly updated and sources States data and news reports: https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-updates-united-state...

It's been pretty much on the ball.

I've been maintaining a spreadsheet with States-level department of health Covid-19 situation page data and the totals roughly tally.

As of 13:00 GMT March 12: 1,300+ positive cases, 38 deaths. You could multiply the positive number by factor of 10 say to get a rough estimate of the total number of persons tested to this point (~13,000 let's say) that individual states, private labs, and the CDC have checked. (Hard to say though as only about 1/3 to 1/2 of states release full data and some are under-reporting (Nebraska and Texas afaict)) Another niggle is that it can (does?) take more than one "test" to perform a test.
Maybe tangential, but what a great looking website!

Why not an 'have I been pwned' for Covid-19 ?
COVID 19 is no more stoppable but slowing it's diffusion is a priority and would make the difference.

Why not create a 'haveibeenpwned.com' like website service to help slow down COVID 19 diffusion.

Many of our mobile phone keep tracks of our daily movements. (give a check to your https://www.google.com/maps/timeline )

Medical authority can have write access to the service and upload anonimous location data of last days of people confirmed affected.

Any people can install an app that on daily basis compare location and timeframes with the ones confirmed and uploaded by authorities.

The app allert with a warning people that match location and timeframe of infected people giving details about the match.

People can than contact local authorities that can give more information or invite to voluntary quarantine.

This would not be a perfect. Many people don't have traking data. Many people would not use the service. But every infection that prevented would slow down diffusion and save lifes.

From a dev point of view I prefer web apps to native apps, because meddling around with the app-stores, xcode and android studio is a huge burden.

From a user point of view I prefer web apps, because I often just have a browser open and switchting through web apps and they also allow me to share links, videos and images even if the app creator didn't directly implement this.
That's the key part. We actually have good reasons (conservation of momentum) to believe that the revolution period does not change significantly over that timescale. There's nothing that should significantly change the momentum of the orbit around the Sun by that amount/time.

Contrast that to the Earth/Moon's rotational period, which we expect to slow over time due to energy consumed by tides "sloshing around".
