I have zero faith in the current federal and supreme courts upholding those rights. Stare decisis is basically dead and a full third of the judiciary are federalists or federalist-adjacent.

Also, I think you drastically underestimate what can be legally done under the aegis of "you might be (insert undesirable class here)".
Making syntax errors UB instead of specifying that the program must refuse to compile may seem unfortunate, but it does have some justification: it allows implementations to add extensions to the language and still claim compliance with the standard. If the standard mandated that any syntax not allowed by the standard must cause a compilation error, any compiler adding extensions to C syntax would be in breach of the standard.
By now there are many videos of robot vacuums covering areas. Its very informative. Not necessary to wait and see what a brand will do; just find a video and watch it in fast-time.

I have a Shark IQ which some videos rate as the best in the middle class. We have 1200sqft to cover and it can do about half that on a charge, methodically.

But it often gets stuck behind the AV center, or behind the piano, or wedged under my wife's chair or a certain cabinet baseboard in the bathroom. At least once a week. And with nobody home, the voice alert calling for help is pointless (scheduled to run when nobody is home).

So it just runs its batteries down waiting. If it could do one more thing better, I would say go into low-power when stuck?

Anyway we like it, gave it a name ("Puck") and each day check if Puck 'made it home'. If not its a pleasant job walking around to find where Puck got stuck. Not a bad purchase at all, considering the always-clean floors(!) and the entertainment value to boot.

Use with any standard SIP client. It can be stand alone or part of a PBX... It can be crabby to build and as others have pointed out it's gonna need a bit of horse power but by no means do you need a super high end 48 core monster but your not gonna host this thing on a AWS micro instance either.

People still programming in C want C, its why they're still doing it. But you can't claim there are "no better languages" when all you're really looking for is C.
You do need to test them on the healthy, but there are a lot of healthy people who know they are going to be exposed to the virus in the coming months because they are part of the response. It should be relatively easy to recruit from that pool and given their increased exposure would require fewer people to see if the vaccine is effective.
To muddy the waters even more, I'm also in the US and I'm seeing $215 (plus the $15 coupon) on Amazon.
When it is all said and done, we will find out that the mortality rate is very close to regular flu (around 0.1%). Italy, China and other countries with high mortality rate are not a great model because they were caught unprepared and their health system cannot sustain a moderate peak in hospitalizations. Also keep in mind that a large segment of the infected people go untested in most places which affects the denominator. I see many epidemiologists estimating that the number of true infected is 5 or even 10 fold of what we are seeing being reported. If that is the case, then we can assume the mortality rate certainly drops to less than 1% and most likely ranges in the 0.5% to 0.1%.
You're getting downvoted to oblivion for telling the truth, because that truth is painful and tastes horrible.

The EU is going to unleash tens of billions in fines at US tech companies in the coming decade, because they can't compete and now they have a large hole in their budget thanks to the Brexit [1], which can conveniently be filled with fines. It's obvious what they're going to do.

The only proper response is subtle economic war on the part of the US directed at France and Germany. And we will do exactly that. We'll use every practical lever we possess to harm their corporations in retribution. It's fair game. It's a mistake on the part of the EU, the US is radically stronger in every respect. If they're not careful, the EU will end up as an economic colony of China - perhaps appropriate given history.

Shark IQ has a bin in the dock. It self-empties with a blower each time it docks.

I often see people still choose C even in 2020 for some projects. The usual arguments are that C has stuck with us for several decades and that it is now rock solid. Articles like this make me think otherwise. Why do modern compilers break old code and then claim that it was broken from the start?
While it's confusing, "All rights reserved" isn't actually a license and doesn't conflict with MIT; it's effectively just a (now-redundant) part of the copyright notice. It's been redundant for a long time (since the Berne convention), but doesn't strictly speaking do any harm.

In a real estate market, there is no futures (or even any price ticker), nor short selling. Yet it goes up based on higher demand, and it goes down based on lower demand.

Pedantic but I think important clarification: McIlroy proposed the concept of linking programs together in a pipeline. Ken Thompson created the notation and implementation we all know.
> In this situation, many many business which are fundamentally viable (great restaurants, cruise lines) are going to be threatened by a temporary dislocation (everyone social distancing).

The issue is that it isn't just restaurants and cruise lines. How many of the shops in the local mall are in trouble if people stay home and order from Amazon? What happens to gas stations and convenience stores and truck stops if people are temporarily driving less? What happens to charter bus companies? Local community organizations? Conference organizers?

Pretending that we can predict what all the effects are going to be on everyone and centrally plan optimal resource allocation is dangerous hubris.

> In addition, I don't think its economically sensible to ask every business (say restaurant) to plan for a 2 year pandemic. It would just be inefficient. I think its right to handle that risk at the gov't level. It's all of our problem.

That's kind of the point. When times are tough, that's the time for the government to borrow money and use it to help people out. But they're notoriously bad at deciding whether a cruise ship captain deserves it more than a small business owner with a sandwich cart.

Have to agree something about it sounds very off.

I think the main issue is that it is written in such a passive way as if these things are reality and there is nothing you can do.

Everyone of those issues can be fixed relatively easily by being a bit more assertive.

What I really dislike is this idea that nothing is possible without being in a team. It’s so wrong.
Mmmm... to offer a counterpoint. Unless you are putting spyware on every company computer and have cameras all about, there are likely some things your employees are doing that you don't know about (not necessarily illegal data breach, just, you can't track it all without invading their privacy quite a bit).

I think it might be better to put a 'without due dilligence' clause if something like this were to be the law.

One other thing... it's kinda hard for salespeople to do their job without a list of people to contact... there are some jobs where you implicitly have to trust people with data... those are sources of data leaks as well, and there's not much you can do other than to hire people you trust, I'm afraid :/

Just my two cents, hope your having a good day (and stay well)
From the article:

> There’s no chance participants could get infected from the shots, because they don’t contain the virus itself.

So ... what's in the vaccine? Is it just saline? Without a viral load I don't think we could call it a vaccine in the traditional sense; if this is some crazy new technology that enables the immune system to process the virus without introducing some viral material, that's neat and all, but deserves some deeper explanation.
Most objections to masks are simply made up to justify not having to wear one. That claim is also not backed up by anything but a gut feeling, mind you :-)
I think that in age of automated trading it's very important. You can't be sure there won't spontaneously emerge some freakish occurrence which will make bots trade in such degenerate way that it will send markets tumbling; without stopgap measure it could be disastrous.
Darkest indeed, if you are more than 70 years or have other illnesses then you take every precaution not to get infected.

The rest of the population pray that the Corona quarantine will be scaled back as soon as possible, so we don't have a financial ruin to deal with the next decade or more.
And infections will peak in what, April?
I assure you, no one buying a pregnancy test wants an anonymous corporation or the government to be informed of the results. This has nothing to do with technological feasibility and everything to do with privacy concerns.

Your definition of reasonable seems to be pretty warped. The historical abuses of "this opinion is reasonable and scientific" are too heinous and numerous to even list. Thankfully we have (but still need more) consumer privacy laws.
Real estate crash long after Corona virus
That's not Trump-only propensity. German government has confiscated all 3M masks from 3M European distribution center (obviously they didn't literally confiscated them, they just said that they are the only one who can buy them), they didn't care that, say, Italy needs them more.

But I don't blame Germany at all, there came a time where people can see what is important and if economy of their country is healthy - it produces everything people need and if it really make sense to outsource all production elsewhere just to save a few bucks and if the government they elected is able to handle situation.
Crapcost – The Real Cost of Things
https://crapcost.com

The long and boring description

Crap cost is an app that aims to raise awareness to the high level of consumerism of our current society.

Through a very simple approach and without focusing on how much something costs we let the user know for how long he or she must work in order to be able to buy said item. This perspective, we believe, might offer a different look on what things really cost.

We aim to inspire people not to buy more useless things and preserve their time, which is the one truly scarce resource we possess, and the planet!

TLDR;

An app who aims to raise awareness to the high level of consumerism

Right, I'm not trying to claim that everyone can be good at math, or should be. There is some level of talent involved, and of course certain brain configurations that help or hurt (like discalcula or photographic memory).

However, it's still the case that a huge quantity of people simply give up on the subject because they don't believe they'll ever be any good at it, without even giving it a real try. They shut themselves down. Just because that doesn't apply to absolutely everyone doesn't make it something that's not important to recognize and combat.
Pretty sure that would make them PCs.
It does work with hardware tokens, IF you get your AWS IAM credentials using a hardware token. If you're using AWS IAM users then here are instructions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credenti...

If you're doing a federated login with Okta or another provider, you need to set up the hardware MFA there.

There is SSH tunneling support as well, will add an update on that soon.
Seems like cherry-picking to me.

Italy has an older population to start with. I don't think the US will remotely reach the chaos we are seeing in Italy.
Yes. It's a bit of dust. Unless you have severe allergies, who cares?
Thanks for the clarification. I do see the strategy of preempting debate used elsewhere on HN, e.g. re social justice or ideological diversity. I'm glad that's not what you're signalling here.
It's not the same thing though. We know that there are chemical responses for things such as touch and other physical interactions. You don't get that online. It's a vastly different thing.
In the US, hospitals have been reducing bed count for decades due to insurance company's increasing unwillingness to cover hospital stays and the resulting move to out patient surgery. It's not a result of regulation.
>Stock prices are supposed to include estimates of all futures earnings of a company, discounted for distance in the future, right?

In theory. But there are hedge fund managers who go on CNBC everyday with "models" based on pure speculation that they can't even justify with a loose DCF model.

The stock market is probably 1/3 investors in the true sense, 1/3 algorithm and momentum traders, and 1/3 unbridled YOLO speculation.

Indeed. Stoicism is the key to happiness.
I think that there is a way these two points can live in the same universe. One the one hand users expect a consistent UI, especially on mobile. While apps are free to define their own user interface and style, they should follow certain patterns that other apps in the past have established.

When I hear the other point that users dont care about UX what that boils down for me is they don't see all the little things that we see. They still expect a consistent user interface but seeing a menu not render exactly where it should, an animation that stutters for one frame or other small things. These are all things that we as developers scrutinize but the user doesn't notice all that often.

Now we should still scrutinize those little things. I feel like the thing that makes some apps feel more "magical" than others is how polished those little details are.

Unless there is a new set of information out there, there has been no confirmation on the exclusivity as part of the negotiation, only the outlandish statements of a socialist politician who is pushing for a top to bottom overhaul of the German health care system. The same sources have been getting a lot of the basic facts wrong (such as the company already being partly owned by the bill and melinda gates foundation, and a large portion of their research happening in Boston).

I suspect that this is the same xenophobia that is resulting in the same rumors floating around the US that China has a vaccine that they are denying the rest of the world.

Regardless, it might make sense to wait a bit for facts to come out.
With good credit, your car loan will be sub 4% interest.

Putting an extra $300 into the market every month should still give 4% if you have a long enough investing horizon.

Also, if times get tough, you'll be glad you don't HAVE to pay that extra $300 a month toward the car.
I think it's worth noting that the corporation is trying to do the right thing, even as pushed by the US government to act unethically. Don't always expect that corporations are evil, or that governments will protect us from that.
> we probably saw pick virus

Just wait till testing ramps up and people realize that there already tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people infected. We're nowhere near peak virus, we're still doing virtually nothing to contain this.
Copper kills coronavirus. Why aren’t our surfaces covered in it?
If funding for these projects is the problem, our society is even more short-sighted than I thought. We should be throwing money at them. I would be more worried about underlying physical constraints, like a shortage of manufacturing throughput.
I heard that killed virus vaccines from corona viruses can actually lead to a cytokine storm and higher mortality rate in those innoculated with it. There's a reason we don't have general vaccines for the common cold. During some previous corona related outbreaks (SARS, MERS) there was an attempt at using this method, but it actually has a backlash effect when the person is exposed to the virus.

How to Evangelize a Programming Language
For the most part I agree with everything you have said. In the original conversation I obliquely mentioned I took the stance that no one should finance a car over 7 years.

I myself pay cash for all of my vehicles and simply limit my choice to vehicles I can afford to buy in cash.

A couple of people came out of the woodwork to say that paying cash on a car is not a sound financial decision because I could otherwise invest the same money at gain a 10% return each year while only paying 1.5% for the debt.

I made the argument that over a 3-7 year time span you are about as likely to come out down as you are to come out up in the stock market.
Why not just close the markets down? If everyone has to take a break from congregating and in some cases working (think retail and restaurant workers), then the market should have to as well. Everyone take a 3 week break from working and partying and chill the F out.

Your suggestion here and elsewhere has been that it would be ultimately less harmful overall to let the disease run unchecked, even if it kills millions in a few weeks that way, than to attempt to control it in the ways our various levels of government are doing.

I have yet to see you substantiate that claim in any way.
Growth in Germany is exponential. It doesn't matter how many people they manage to test if they are still going to wait and see before taking measures to reduce the infection rate.
I suspect they want to diminish the concept of console generations altogether and push towards an "xbox as a service" type idea.

Looking at how they've mentioned that owners of their new first party titles on xbox one will have an upgraded/enhanced release available at no cost on their new console - I suspect this is to blur the lines between the two series.

I believe compilers are constrained by a combination of ABI and the standard here. Section 6.3.1.1 of the C11 draft states [0]:

> If an int can represent all values of the original type (as restricted by the width, for a bit-field), the value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int. These are called the integer promotions. All other types are unchanged by the integer promotions.

So the type that the compiler promotes to is determined entirely by the widths of unsigned short and signed int, which in turn are defined by the ABI. There is no room for picking a different promotion here.
