On the contrary, macOS proves that you can implement security measures like code signing and granular app permissions without forcing developers to give Apple 30% of their revenues.

You can absolutely implement all the security features of a centralized app store without running your own monopoly software store. The security features of the app store are independent from the business model.

Basically any desktop Linux distribution will show you how trusted software repositories can work in practice.

Think for example of implementing a list interpreter. In certain situations, you know for a fact that an AST node is a given type. So you just want to cast from Node to Node::Symbol(s) to extract that std::string::String out of it. RFC #2593 seems like it would help here, and is something I've wanted for similar but unrelated reasons. So in the meantime I made poor_mans_cast!() macro to do this, which I've used twice already.
>Or maybe more accurately it's deeply ingrained in Anglo-American culture?

I don't know about all languages but French, German, and Chinese all have military and war metaphors that are commonly used in everyday speech. It's not unique to American English.
> Here is a question: Why don't we have more smaller unions in America, but instead these GIANT mega unions?

US labor law differs from European labor law, and it essentially encourages/requires a small number of conglomerate unions, each of which have exclusive representation within a company, rather than a larger number of independent unions which can coexist within a single company.
The government does, actually: Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly gives Congress the power "to collect taxes; to coin money and regulate its value; provide for punishment for counterfeiting", among other powers.

It's just that Congress has delegated this to multiple independent organizations within the government. The U.S. Mint makes physical coins and paper money. The U.S. Treasury issues government debt. The IRS collects taxes. The Secret Service prosecutes counterfeiting. The Federal Reserve serves as the lender of last resort to the banking system. The President submits the budget, which must be approved by Congress.

The division between the President, Congress, U.S. Treasury, and Federal Reserve forms a very important check on the tendency of most governments to just print money to cover government services, since different branches of government are responsible for determining how much is spent; where it's spent; where it's collected from, and under what terms it'll be repaid; and how much it's worth. But it's worth remembering that constitutionally, Congress has the power to create all of those agencies, and Congress also has the power to unmake them. I don't necessarily think that doing so is a good idea, but it's possible.
It should be noted that these findings are for disposable N95 respirators.

There are also non-disposable kinds, which are intended for reuse. However, it's not clear for how long they can be safely reused, particularly in the case of this novel coronavirus.
I think this is an interesting idea, though I question its efficacy.

Also, why does every new website have to have a page weight of 'all written works before 1900'?
Thanks!

1. Yes, We learned that pretty quickly. Especially when working on postgres and mongoDB. And this is the value we’re trying to deliver. As a user, you don’t have to know technical differences between databases and query them all the same way.

2. Interesting idea, we’ll give it a try, thanks!

3. Yes, we don’t have an aggregate feature just yet, working on it. For large datasets, we're thinking about loading a sampled version of the dataset instead for a quick analysis (like histogram analysis and so on). Lowering default limit is interesting, but we are worried it might compromise the experience (if you can only load 10,000 out of 1,000,000 records, you might not be able to do all the analysis you want). Still exploring solutions
it's frankly a miracle any software is released on their platform
Superhero stories were always compelling, then CGI got good enough to make them into movies. I don’t think it’s chance that they got popular shortly after you got really good visuals of someone getting punched through an office building. I find that explanation a lot more simple and convincing than the one in the article.
If anything, I wonder how it speaks to the need of having common heroes. It can be difficult to find living, or even quasi-legendary heroes we can all share. We are growing very diverse and fragmented, but underneath it is the commercial common culture. In ages past they had stories of the gods, their children, heroes, saints, knights, kings. These stories were part of a shared united culture in those times and places
> The government doesn’t [print money and hand it out] though.

This is exactly what they're doing every time they drop rates - handing out new money to the financial industry. The main thing one can be confident in regarding The Fed is that they will create enough new money to keep the numbers at the Wall Street Casino ("The Ecomony") going up up up, even attempting to do so when it's blatantly inappropriate. It's seemingly the only button they know how to push.

The belief in USD comes from military dominance, the petrodollar, momentum, and a lack of better immediate options. Nobody was ever fired for buying IBM either, but eventually the world will move on.
They have a few videos going back as far as 2012, but not all. There was a great (and still relevant) 2014 video I want to see again but they've taken down most of the videos from that era. Compare:

I filed a bug once and it was marked "Works as currently designed", whatever that means.
I wouldn't consider it too surprising; most document store type data was still most effectively backed by a structured column/row store system; and the major structured datastores implementing JSON support made it easier to use that in a single db structure instead of trying to get something like Postgres and Mongo to play together; although there are still many use cases for tiered datastores that use a combination of SQL and NoSQL system).
There is a button in the bottom left.
Ignorant question. But how do union dues work? Is it a percentage of your paycheck or a fixes cost?

Also I assume there’s a formation/founding cost. How does that work?
Hot+Video:+‘+I+Never+Had+A+BJ+‘;+Heartbroken+Sammy+Finally+Reacts+-+Xorlali.com
Yeah, they spent all this time/funding creating a cool webpage and then the government will probably begin blocking traffic that looks like Minecraft. Why not just host a proxy server and skip the BS?
The author didn't satisfactorily answer his own question after a lot of words. I agree with you. Hollywood superhero movies work well in the U.S. and equally well in India and China. I'm not sure about Europe.
Why not doesn't answer why. Do they need to join together because things are bad? Sub-optimal? Good?

Agreed. My back yard is 'visible from space'. I desperately want a sociable annotation tagging system so I can flag hyperbolic nonsense like this and then filter out anything with lots of unwanted tags.

I am sick of hyperbole and cliches in reporting. They make the internet and society worse.
Lol well there are a lot of compelling guesses but I'd like the article to concretely say why.
Did you have a solid safety net when you bailed? I considered doing the same a year or so ago. I don't think this is a systemic problem like 2008... so I don't see how it kills off viable tech projects. If you are top 20% skills you will be fine. It's just going to kill off overleveraged entities, and also kill off non-viable business models.
And it's made Apple and their shareholders billions.
It's usually a percentage of workers' paychecks, between 1-2% is pretty standard.

Founding, organizing, and legal stuff for newly forming unions can be handled by the larger organization (e.g. CWA) using pooled dues from existing unions within that organization.

To some degree I understand what you are saying but it’s still a wrong strategy. It means there are easy to use tools for small apps and large apps have to deal with Win32 directly with nothing in between. No wonder the desktop is dying.

The propaganda MS has been putting out also contradicts this. I remember well how they were first telling us that WPF, then Silverlight, then WinRT is the future of windows. Got burned a few times and then refused to look at UWP which is now the future of Windows until it probably isn’t.
Nothing near that specific unfortunately. Not much more than "snake" (and occasionally wildly inaccurate species). At least with the ~20 or so photos that I just tested with.
My understanding is PCR doesn't actually test for the virus itself. It tests for antibodies. Such that, once you get a virus and have antibodies, you have them for life. The idea of getting it twice seems odd.
Immediately thought... So I'm chugging along with work and ready for a little endorphin hit from a social interaction and Bam, a penis. Skip, Bam, an A-hole screaming the N-word at the top of his lungs. Why again did I... People suck, I don't even want my to work anymore.
Was it just that you found the Microsoft world boring or was there something specific about node that was a game-changer?
Sounds like as with our healthcare system and many other major problems in America, the problem isn't purely government vs. industry or liberal vs. conservative, but rather a mess of both.
> "If COVID-19 digs in deep in the US then there is going to be a transformational change in how US citizens think about work, travel, entertainment, security, and the relationship between US citizens and their government."

Even the Spanish Flu didn't manage to do that and the actual death toll was even higher than the projections from COVID-19.
I know of a couple who bought a clock radio connected to the emergency weather system. When a notice went out, the radio would turn on so you could hear it. They thought it would be useful, as they lived in in a tornado area, and would like a warning if they were asleep.

Problem is, it wasn't that localized. It would wake them for alerts that were 100 miles away, and which didn't affect them.

They stopped using the alarm.

In general, people won't use a service like what you describe unless it's really actionable. And I don't think this system has a high false positive rate (and high false negative rate) so there isn't good actionable information beyond what general precautions (social distancing, good hand hygiene, etc.) offer.

- What percentage of people get fevers from other reasons? That is, even without bad actors, people are going to report fevers, and those might overwhelm the actual positives.

- How close does your infection model (X minutes within distance Y) match the actual infection mechanism and rate? I suspect it isn't that good, and will include many people who aren't infected.
It also seems to have nasty incentives, I've never heard of people talking about taxes so much before moving to the US. Here everybody is afraid of taxes going up, and people who support Sanders' ideas are not voting for him because "he is going to raise the taxes".

But in my opinion it's backward, instead of being up-front about costs, they are HIDING costs. I can still see how much taxes is taken when I get a receipt in France for example, it's just not hidden from you at the beginning of the transaction.
There's an enormous amount of infrastructure behind the big ones. They save up enough money to pay wages during strikes, they lobby heavily on the state and federal level, etc.
Congrats! When I left Google, code search was the one piece of the platform I missed the most. Now that my firm uses Sourcegraph, I don't miss it.
I feel like the popularity of superhero narratives isn't because people particularly love those stories; it's because they're easy to make them decent. The public just wants good, enjoyable stories. The creators figured out that superhero stories are pretty reproducibly effective, so they keep making them.

Another possibility is that superhero movies are expensive and complicated to make. Tools for making video entertainment have empowered a much larger number of people with the ability to create content. While many fan films and amateur productions are still poor in quality, others now match or exceed what Hollywood put out just decades ago for a fraction of the cost. Instead of trying to compete with these low cost productions, moving into mega blockbusters where the small guys can't follow keeps Hollywood's product unique.

I think the general idea is not to avoid it forever but delay infections as much as possible so the healthcare system has time to process them. Essentially avoid DDoS'ing hospitals.

Yes, almost everybody will get this thing but let's not do it all at the same time (and before there's a vaccine or specific medication).
Throwaway account because duh. Note that I am not a current Glitch employee, but am well-connected to Glitch née Fog Creek.

Management was basically incredibly incompetent, for a long time, and were so unfair to employees at the company that they felt this was the only option. There is a Tweet stream a couple months ago from someone who left the company who highlighted the amazing degree to which they were unfairly reviewed and unfairly criticized, alongside how much work product they were expected to produce (which was unreasonable). I have enough corroboration to say that the tweet stream as written is fairly unbiased, and that their experience was common. My understanding is the employees felt backed into a corner.

I think unions can be very, very valuable, but I think needing one at a small company that took a series A round quite recently speaks more to management failure than anything else. I'm happy that they unionized, because it sounds like they needed to, but I am so fucking disappointed that it was necessary.
We have incredible status quo bias on the subject of public resources and economic infrastructure; if we already have it (schools, libraries, Medicare), it's sacrosanct; but if it's any new idea or initiative, it's scary socialism destined to lead to starvation and gulags.

Ask HN: Mobile carrier asked me to look at the camera and blink 3 times
I went to the carrier shop this morning to buy an extra SIM card. After providing my ID and the usual information, the attendant asked me to look at his phone's camera for a second and then "blink three times". I felt really shocked, especially thinking about my privacy (I haven't signed anything up to that point). I asked the attendant about the photo, he said "I don't know, it's our procedure."

Does anyone know what that photo is for? What about the blinking? Why 3 times?

Whenever the choice is "software that's only 80% as good" or "more expensive hardware", the former will win every time.
Superhero stories were put on the screen long before CGI.

The Batman series from 60s come to mind or the Superman movies from the 70s (and there Superman III is IMHO the most enjoyable with a Richard Pryor that pulls of a really cool hack).

Home Depot. Even ~15 years ago, they had an amazing amount of technology to support a single store, let alone the supply chain.

I once worked in Point of Sale (POS) at Darden and several POS vendors and consulting companies. Even 25 years ago, your average fast food or mid-range (e.g. Red Lobster) restaurant had a network of ~10 or more computers running various POS, inventory, ordering, scheduling, and other processes.
Half of the conferences I'm aware of have cancelled this year. We are talking not-jokingly about cancelling the Summer Olympics.

Having a conference at all is newsworthy at this point. And they've had a few weeks or a month to come up with a completely new strategy for something they usually have a year to figure out?

Have you ever been involved in planning or running an annual event? It doesn't sound like you have. That people make it look easy is a testament to their skills, not the magnitude of the logistical problem.

You used a lot of words to say, "I hate Apple and this schadenfreude is not living up to my expectations."

The problem is with the wording. The "Friendly Campus System" "detected a vacancy". In the face of a sudden, unprepared death you offer condolences and give the bereaved person the customary 30 days. The email from the blogpost is completely inappropiate.
