Sorry, but this is bogus.

EDIT: I do not mean to imply that Italy failed in any respect. Italy has one of the best HC systems in the world.

The only reason this testing aspect worked out well for Germany is a very localized testing system. This type of 'federalism' is now a big issue though, as the gov can't simply ban events - only the states and communes can.

I remember someone on Usenet (probably in 1998 or 1999) using the term "programmer denialists" to insult programmers who said the Y2K problem was mostly under control.
My hypothesis is that it is baseline lung damage from bad air quality. Look at the places that have had severe cases and lookup their air quality.
I mean if we have arrived at a point where majority of the people can't be convinced of the existence of this, and the only way to make them understand is to do some damage, we have bigger problems as a society in front of us. You don't throw a kid under a bus if he doesn't understand you, you just keep trying with incentives and maybe minor punishments.
South Korea has 8,000 active cases, over 114 today alone. Singapore has a population of 5.8M. They've got 178 cases. The U.S. has a population of 320M with 1338 cases. That means their infection rate is nearly 10x higher than the U.S. Meanwhile, we are taking action. Shutting down European travel, Chinese travel, cancelling schools, cancelling NBA season, NHL season, etc, etc...We are taking aggressive steps.
I feel like that's recognized in the article: we even point out that anti-malware is one of the few (technical) things the AICPA criteria do care about. The point is not that you need SSO, the point is that it is _much simpler_ to demonstrate you've got anything resembling an access control story if you do SSO. You are not doing it because it's the only way, you're doing it because it's the best way.
There are many real humans who have no phone number.
So based on that Italy’s true infected count is 15 times what they’re reporting or closer to 225,000 cases.

OpenJSCAD provide nothing more than much higher CPU consumption & heavy network traffic usage, comparing to 'native' OpenSCAD desktop app.

And for design complex 3D models modern web-browser and powerful PC is needed to use it comfortably.

But for fans of web-hosted/cloud apps OpenJSCAD, off course, is the real thing.
Or just more broadly people trying to market their things as being a higher level than their competitors. This escalates the language used and we end up with things like cupcake wars and every other article claiming someone "slammed" or "destroyed" another by just making a comment.

Ya I see your point. We have tried to take the privacy seriously from the beginning (and now realize we need to do more) but as far as not using the cloud at all, that would be a significant limitation on the type of inference that can be done locally and I think the benefits may outweigh the associated risks for many users/use cases...
I've gone back to using hotels given the cancellation policy of AirBnB is ridiculous. As we've seen these last days, plans need to be able to change and I don't mind paying a small premium for a cancellation-friendly hotel or serviced apartment.

If by "anti-car" you mean "for a balanced mix of modes that treats cars as one viable option among several, instead of utter car dominance everywhere all the time", then this is an accurate statement.

It's amazing to me how many people feel that anything less than 99% of resources going to car-based transportation constitutes some sort of vile political agenda. "How dare anyone try to give people choices for how to get around?? Walking? With my legs?!"
Calling it a flying car seems to be triggering a lot of misunderstanding. It's not really a flying car, it's more of a driving airplane, but I guess that doesn't get as much attention.

You're not going to use this for commuting from the suburbs, but for midrange travel and/or those inclined to general aviation, there's a lot of use to an aircraft that isn't confined to the airport.
That is obscene. I can just about understand contempt of court incarceration for not testifying (though I have extreme reservations on the practice) but such punitive and life-debilitating fines strike me as purely malicious.
My experience with AirBnb has been good but often I feel I miss something. If possible I always almost choose a hotel, because it seems cleaner, service oriented, often has breakfast and a place to have a drink or a coffee.

There are places that is more suitable for renting a private place, but in where there are tourists there are often better offers at hotels.

She is in jail for refusing to testify in front of a secret jury. The grand jury is essentially a politically motivated persecution of Julian Assange. She has already spent 7 years in jail for her part in the Wiki leaks mess and then they threw her in jail again. She released tapes to Assange documenting US killing of civilians. She is clearly a psychologically damaged person and now they are just trying to break her.
My girlfriend and I used to think the same until we started staying at "shared" airbnbs, i.e. where you're staying at actual bed and breakfasts or someone's house as opposed to just a random apartment held by a Chinese superconglomerate filled with 1ply toilet paper.

Now we get to have really cool experiences - staying on a couple farms and watching our hosts go to work milking cows or feeding horses, staying in a really old Mexican woman's huge mansion and looking at pictures on the wall of her and her family with presidents, popes, all sorts of other really cool art, then having her cook us a delicious breakfast. That kinda thing.

If we wanna stay in a hotel and just have eachother to keep ourselves company, Airbnb can't compete. But for a really cool side-experience to the main vacation, that's something a hotel can't offer.

I said it up thread, but curious to get more responses.

My hypothesis is this had already spread like crazy everywhere. Now we just are seeing the exponential discovery of it.

What marks the places hardest hit with severe cases is the bad air quality. Which acts as a further agitator on lung related complications.
> He didn't say per capita.

But it's also not the case when looking only at absolute numbers either. I would also argue that per capita is implied because it's the only way you can really make that comparison.

Airbnb has a variety of different cancellation policies available to hosts.

As a host, I use the strict one because I can’t always schedule a last minute cleaning, and I find that people who plan ahead and don’t need to change are more respectful guests.

In the last couple years the {in practice} part has made this independence completely untrue.
When traveling with a group where you want more than one room, I almost always find renting a house / flat on AirBNB a better option: "private" (to the group) common areas and a kitchen are especially nice to have.

When traveling alone or with just one other person (with whom I'm sharing a room), I agree, hotels are hard to beat.
> Yeah. Or in this case, she has already been convicted and served her sentence.

I don't think the problem here is that there's some problems with 5th amendment. I think the problem is Manning just doesn't want to recognize the validity of US legal system in general and grand jury in particular. That can only end in one way, and that's the way it ended in.
Right, agreed 100%. In terms of security, the value of centralizing credentials is debatable.
Airbnbs are still differentiated from hotels. They are great for large parties whereas hotels are not so much. They are also great for secluded and more local locations.
She was a whistleblower, hence everyone with a hint of credibility saying she was.

Also, it's customary on HN to point out when you have a conflict of interest. You work for a military contractor & used to work for the government, and probably should disclose that when talking about a subject so closely tied to your work.
Was literally just reading Airdna's report on covid-19 impact on Airbnb revenue. Looks like things will get much worse for them.

I've always had a scarcity mindset due to my past growing up so I believe that is why I think $600 is a lot of money. I've always worked for others (unpaid internships, uni work, etc) and never did anything really entrepreneurial. Not out of lack of skills but fear and thoughts of having a job is more safe than making the money. I'm asking folks at HN because everyone here is a lot more considerably wiser than I am. I've never been put in this position and my parents being laid off is something I nor they could've ever seen coming.

Thank you for your response, means a lot
I don't necessarily agree with GP, but don't judges get government salaries?
To add a positive anecdote, I've had 6 experiences with Airbnb and all of them were great. If you're traveling with just 1-3 people, the prices are comparable to hotels, as you say. But when traveling with a large group of people, I've found that Airbnb is a lot cheaper.
Yeah I've met some great people via Airbnb. Some I've contacted privately after to stay with when traveling.
I’m the opposite. I have had so many good experiences at Airbnb properties and a few years ago I started being a host. It’s a fantastic platform.

You really do have to read the reviews, though, both as a guest and as a host.
very few languages do, and those that do it is usually for just one platform.
That reasoning could be used for everything and hence Apple is not a Hardware company. And it doesn't change the fact majority of Amazon revenue does not derive from Software. And should not be valued as such.
Here, all my friends and my girlfriend are using airbnb for the reason that it is significantly cheaper than a hotel. If a hotel is only 10-15% more expensive, I also usually take the hotel.

Regarding the loss - airbnb is already mature and still generating so much loss? What a bad way to run a business. Would not invest.
I guess that depends a bit on whether your "single pane of glass" is a SOC2 type 2 sales tool, or a real part of your security stance. (I don't _like_ that the first of those options is valuable in some cases, but I do acknowledge it...)
Same. Am kind of tired of Airbnb now.

Another example why, often the facilities which are advertised making an apartment seem on par with a hotel, often end up being some poorly maintained "home" version.

That's not likely. Italy has more hospital capacity per capita than we do [1], has lower cost hospital care, and has been more proactive about testing (almost 8x tests performed) [2]. More beds means less strain when things get bad. Lower costs means people don't wait to get care when needed. More testing means we know where to dedicate resources.

The US is flying blind with a fragmented, expensive medical system that discourages those who need care or testing from getting that care. What might save us (marginally) is that much of the country is fairly rural, and we're far less dense so the spread rate might be lower. However strictly none of the doctors I've spoken to (one of whom is an infectious disease specialist at SF General) believes we have the capacity to deal with the crisis. To a person they say that if it starts spiraling in the US it will get very bad, very fast.

By the way, those countries or areas that avoided the worst of it (Taiwan, Singapore, several provinces in China outside Wuhan, to a limited extent South Korea) have taken centralized, planned, dramatic action to do so. This is one place where central planning is probably the better choice.

If superdeterminism is true, it appears to imply that the universe is discrete at the smallest scales. Were the universe continuous, 'definite' position would be impossible, meaning that certainty itself would be impossible. Everything would be 'fuzzy' meaning superdeterminism would be impossible.
In particular, Juul's tobacco carts tasted horrible. Same with their menthol.
The other bit of subtext in this post is that you often have multiple ways of addressing control points auditors bring up, and we'd like to steer startups towards the good ways of doing that. So if an SSO keeps you from having an insane password rotation policy, or an MDM (also not "required") keeps you from installing Mac AV software, it's super worth it to us.
So there are trade-offs involved? Different parties have different interests? Different publishers use different models? That sounds about right, and contradicts the false dichotomy offered above.

It seems to be getting worse every hour. The companies you want to sell your services to may currently be in panic mode and, if so, the last thing they'd want to do is spend money on new projects. I'd sit tight and wait for the pandemic to abate.

I find this to be one of the reasons I didn't find rust that appealing as an C++ alternative. Its safety is something I admire and is highly valuable to many domains, but the two main things I want to abandon with C++ are its complexity and its compile times. Rust doesn't seem to get away from either of those.

As someone who doesn't really use Rust, does anyone who does find the complexity detracts from it a bit as a language? Is there effort to reduce complexity with the language or does it mostly embrace it?

At this point I find myself mostly looking at modern C alternatives—ones which manage to stay relatively simple the way C does, but with a few additional features and better designs (Zig, Odin, maybe Jai, etc).

All that said, I work with C++ and so I could see myself potentially working with Rust in the future, so I'm curious how people feel about its complexity, especially given that its complexity will presumably only increase with time.
Well, there are many different... idealogical alignments in America.

Some believe Manning is a hero who followed her conscience and leaked classified information in order to inform the public of secret crimes the government/military committed.

Others think what Manning did was incredibly reckless and treasonous, tantamount to selling secrets to the enemy (just without the "selling" part)

So to answer your question, people in the first camp see news like this as a good thing.

Especially relevant to HN:

> This includes enforcing a law that grants the government wide authority to access data: CCTV footage, GPS tracking data from phones and cars, credit card transactions, immigration entry information, and other personal details of people confirmed to have an infectious disease. The authorities can then make some of this public, so anyone who may have been exposed can get themselves - or their friends and family members - tested.
Possibly stupid question, but why does the dog array validate:

const dogsList = z.array(dogSchema);

dogSchema.parse([
{ name: 'Cujo', neutered: null },
{ name: 'Fido', age: 4, neutered: true },
]); // passes

Since 'Cujo' doesn't have an age? Assuming it's the same dogSchema as in the previous block, age is required, right?

Oh, and a minor typo: This lets you confidently This way you can confidently....
> If you are uncoerciable

What does it mean "uncoerciable"? There's nothing particularly "uncoerciable" in Manning - we don't know the future and Manning is as human as anybody else. If this law applies to all other humans, it applies to Manning too.
You mention creating object types with optional keys is cumbersome in io-ts. How is that solved in zod, exactly? What allows you to map `foo: union([bar, undefined])` to `foo?: bar | undefined` (note the question mark on the left hand side)? There’s nothing in the declaration to give away why this wouldn’t yield `foo: bar | undefined` which is what I believe you’d get out of io-ts.

Looks useful - I would have an easier time introducing this than io-ts.
rust has `dyn FooTrait`, which lets you do dynamic diapatch, similarly to `FooInterface x = foo();` in e.g. java. even Haskell has a way of doing this via existential types like `(forall a. FooTypeclass a => a)`.

both of these predominantly statically-dispatched langs added ways to do dynamic dispatch later on, which seems to go against "dynamic dispatch could be entirely dropped without losing to much expressiveness". i prefer static-by-default as well, but it looks like it's hard to do without sometimes.

(of course you can always roll your own vtable-ish thing, so technically you could drop DD from the language without loss of expressiveness, but then you'd likely get multiple incompatible libraries for that...)

and i'd guess that some sort of dynamic dispatch is unavoidable if you want to do some kind of plugin architecture
The devolving of the internet to national intranets is likely, but I don't think it can be done to a big enough extent that it stops Bitcoin. It only takes information to leak through the firewall at one point of entry to make the firewall completely useless. Bitcoin transactions and blocks can be transmitted globally via sat, long and short distance radio, telephone, or the internet, bypassing the firewall through steganography and such. It seems like a futile task for states to attempt to filter it. The Bitcoin protocol will likely be available over encrypted and authenticated transport channels too, meaning that the nation state isn't going to be able to stop it without completely banning encrypted communication for which it has no back door.

That may be attempted, but then no technology company is going to start a business in the locations where this happens. The nations which attempt this will probably do more damage to their economies by enacting it than any damage that Bitcoin could possibly do. It will only take a couple of nations to declare themselves open for bitcoin business, to have economic success, for the rest of the world to realize that fighting against Bitcoin is a losing game.

Debasement of the USD will probably happen, but who knows when. My guess is it that it won't be a sudden event but will happen gradually over a few decades. You might measure USD to lose half of its value over a decade, but if you attempt to do the same for bitcoin, you might find that it has barely changed because "inflation" in bitcoin is negligible - ~7/8 of the total bitcoin supply has already been released, and the amount of "inflation" is decreasing over time.
My family and I use AirBnB almost every time we travel, especially when we go internationally. It's the only way to make sure we get a full kitchen, a necessity with the kids.

We always use Superhosts, and have never had an issue.

The only odd thing we had once was a host telling us that if anyone asks we are his "friends from America".

I think the key is sticking to superhosts. Also read all the reviews for the juicy nuggets. Sometimes there are some big red (or green) flags in the reviews.
>the common misperception of TARP is that the government gave away $400+B of taxpayer money

I don't think this is a common misconception, I think it's a strawman argument to deflect criticism of the bailouts.

Regardless of whether or not the government made money, we created a massive moral hazard by allowing banks to engage in shady behavior, avoid any criminal prosecution, get below-rate loans to avoid the market consequences of their actions, and left the common people out in the cold.

On top of that, we supposedly fixed the problem by expanding banks' reserve requirements, but when they got into trouble in the repo market, the FED runs to their rescue with even more below-market-rate loans, which seem to get larger and larger by the week.
This is airbnb's special thing. I wish I could filter for only these experiences.
It’s so sad that one of the most courageous soldiers in the history of the US military has been treated so horribly by the government.
