The infection in Italy started in hospital or in retirement home (I don't remember which), so the first infected were people > 70.

In South Korea it started in a cult, where most people were young < 40, and moslty women (which have less CFR than man for COVID-19).

And the rest was South Korean lack of regard for privacy (they have a map for each case where you can trace where and when a given infected person was - so you can check if you were near him/her) and technological superiority.
The Airbnb founders both maxed out their credit cards, and famously kept the lights on by selling cereal at the 2008 Republican and Democratic conventions. I believe the actual idea for Airbnb spun out of them realizing it could help them pay their rent.

> amazingly (off by ~7 seconds a week).

We only think "7 seconds a week" is amazing because we've somehow decided that mechanical watches are still worth buying.

I have a Bulova Precisionst that cost 10% the price of your Omega and it's accurate to ~10 seconds a YEAR. I adjust it exactly twice a year - for DST. And even that is considered an expensive model.
I think we are on the same page. I was referring to the specific SGX implementation that relied on existing processor infrastructure, and you are making the argument that no system can be secure that is built on a faulty implementation. No amount of threat modeling will help you if an implementation does not perform its function. All threat models are built under the implicit assumption that the implementation they will help derive will be correct. The threat model helps to answer the question of which function should be realized. Whether that function is in fact realized or not is a different matter. With the speculative execution bugs, the function being realized unintentionally deviated from the specified access checks.

There's sooooo many lies being propagated by different governments on the true state of things. This afternoon I watched a live broadcast of parliament in which the minister of health claimed Belgium was doing far more extensive testing than any other country on earth. This at a time when standing instructions to medical personnel are to only test people that are already admitted to hospital because of severe pulmonary conditions. It is impossible to get a test under any other circumstance as all test request have to follow a central approvement procedure and non are approved barring these conditions.

These outright lies are propagated by the political parties that are far more concerned with 'the economy' than with any public health. It is really saddening that his is going on.

Social distancing: Why every day matters for Covid-19
The watch you linked has the 3159 module which really hits the sweet spot for features. You get radio sync, daylight savings, world clock, stop watch, 4 alarms, snooze, and countdown timer.

It is my beater watch but I end up wearing it more than any of my automatics. I keep my world time set to UTC which is great to have while digging through server logs. The alarms are nice. I use the countdown timer for pomodoro. Best part, it is always accurate and I never have to set it.

My only complaint is the backlight only stays on for 1.5 seconds.

There is a similar module with bluetooth, but I think the only feature you get is the ability to make the backlight last longer and to manage alarms.

Anyway, I highly suggest that one if you need to add a square to your collection. There are some better looking ones, I'm going to buy the all black, negative display one next. Searching gw-m5610bc should get you to it (but make sure you get the one with the radio. there's a cheaper all black one that doesn't have the 3159)
There’s plenty of toilet paper in the US – so why are people hoarding it?

> I disagree with assumption that year length has stayed constant the past 70 million years.

It's not an assumption, it's what our best current data tells us. We have abundant evidence of the length of the Earth's day changing--this article is certainly not news, we have known for decades that the Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing over the past few billion years. We have no evidence of the length of the Earth's year changing significantly, and calculations agree with that (see below).

> The Earth experiences tidal friction from the Sun just like the Moon and Earth affect each other. I am guessing the year lengthening effect slower than month & day lengthening because Suns tidal force is a third of Moons.

The size of the tidal bulge on the Earth due to the Sun is about a third of that due to the Moon. But that is not at all the same as the slowing of the Earth's year due to the Sun's tides being about a third of the slowing of the Earth's day due to the Moon's tides. The situations are very, very different.

In the case of the Earth-Moon system, tidal friction causes angular momentum to be transferred from the Earth to the Moon. This slows the Earth's spin and increases the radius of the Moon's orbit.

In the case of the Earth-Sun system, tidal friction can't transfer angular momentum from the Earth's spin to the angular momentum of the Earth's orbit about the Sun, because the Earth is not orbiting itself; the mechanism that transfers angular momentum from the Earth's spin to the Moon's orbit about the Earth simply does not apply to the Earth's orbit about the Sun.

In fact, while the Sun's tidal friction does make the Earth's spin slow down a little more than it would due to the Moon alone, the result of this is to make the radius of the Moon's orbit increase a little more than it would if the Earth-Moon system were alone in space. In other words, the Sun's tidal friction simply augments the Moon's tidal friction in driving the same mechanism, transferring angular momentum from the Earth's spin to the Moon's orbit about the Earth. There is no transfer of angular momentum from the Earth's spin to the Earth's orbit about the Sun.

You've somehow decided that I am a "fiscal conservative"?

?

Sadly (or perhaps happily, depending on viewpoint), I am not!

I am not a fiscal conservative.

No.

I am someone who believes (strongly) in transparency (absolute and total) relating to finance/money/transactions - where a public trust is concerned.

That's not a "fiscal conservative".

That's a transparency advocate.

You see, I believe that if we are to have free and fair society in the future, then we must make all financial flows, especially those of governments (both foreign and domestic!) open, transparent, accountable, and subject to public scrutiny.

Now, I am sorry if it offended you because I reposted a video with the title "swamp" in it. Perhaps I should have sanitized and/or censored the title. If you believe that "swamp" is divisive, then perhaps you could contact the author of the video, and/or POTUS, since both seem to use that terminology quite a bit...

Myself? I wouldn't call it the "swamp"...

No.

If I'd call it anything, I'd call it what the late comedian, George Carlin, so eloquently did...

He called it... "The Free Money Club". <g>

He added (also very eloquently, in my opinion!) that to this club, "You and I aren't invited!" <g>

Of course, maybe you'd prefer that it be called the "Swamp" in lieu of "The Free Money Club" -- if those were the only two choices...

Now, I'm not political... I'm apolitical... I'm a man of the mind.

So while I appreciate your kind offer, no, I'm not looking for https://reddit.com/politics...

Perhaps you are looking for a forum online where posters do not have the intellectual capacity to push back as much as they do on HN?

?

(I'd also point out that I am not your enemy; I'm only the proverbial messenger (well, technically Adam Andrzejewski is the messenger, I'm only the cross-poster! <g>), and please remember there is a "no shooting of the messenger" rule in effect! <g>)

I strong, but ill-fated tactic. It's plainly obvious that the bulk of climate change has nothing to do with humans.

> It doesn't really look like that, to me. Because all of your points are either irrelevant or disproven

Right, because you disagree with them, they must be untrue.

> How are any of those two things relevant to antrophogenic climate change?

Based on your own statements that the temperature increase is 'massive' and 'unprecedented' it should be plainly obvious to you that there are mechanisms other than human which increase the global temperature. I realize you're not willing to consider all data available, climate change proponents never are.

App Maker is probably the worse on that killedbygoogle.com copy & paste list. Rest are B2B really?, the product evolved and got re-branded/consolidated or meh, was it really widely used anyway? Not a single one is a Google Cloud product.

I am no Google fanboy and get frustrated by a lot of things they do. But I think the Google kills everything argument for B2B products is getting tiresome. Especially in a Google Cloud Platform context.

Their actions on the Google Maps API absurd price hike and the recent GKE pricing structure change debacle is a whole other story and worth a lot of criticism.

Thanks! Just fixed that.
Italy got caught by surprise - they only found out that they had cases when a 38 year old (!) walked into an ER with advanced symptoms. Given that this age bracket is not commonly affected by these harsher symptoms it is clear that they had long ongoing community transmission which has now culminated in the current catastrophe.

Germany is doing a bit better in this respect, it took them 1000 cases to 'get' the first death, showing that they have caught it very very early, due to their decentralized testiing system. That said, NPI must be ramped up significantly...

The US is maybe the most troublesome target for this virus in the developed world. A healthcare system that works well for few rich cancer patients is the opposite of what you want for a disease like COVID19.

Coronavirus is not a cause, but it is just an igniter.

The true cause of a crisis is pumping money into institutions which should bankrupt years ago. Pumping because we were too much afraid of normal crisis back then and now we get that crisis, but multiplied by 10 in terms of impact and time period.

Crisis is good in economy. It let big, old and damaged trees to fall and to give more sun light to small healthy trees which may start to grow.

Instead of pumping money into stock market which only feeds the richest ones, we should let them bankrupt to make a space for more healthy businesses. Unfortunately people on average do not understand it and still elect interventionists. It postpones crisis, increases income gap and make crisis at the end much more damaging.

We are very close to see a bankruptcy of Italy. Then banks which bought their bonds will follow. With the Deutche Bank on top.
To be honest I'd choose that timeline in a heartbeat over what I think we are barrelling to... But yes, it will drive me crazy if that happens.

Which isn't a good idea IMHO, in most case a + b == b + a..
Also using a different operator for concatenation (say ~ like D) allow unambiguous array-extension of these operation: a[]+b[] is element by element addition and a[]~b[] is concatenation.

Many things worked fine despite that (some software/hardware was already Y2K compliant even in the eighties); many people thought many more things would be problems, even stuff that does not deal with the date at all, but of course that doesn't make sense. Some things did cause minor problems, mainly display errors with the date (sometimes causing columns to not line up properly, but sometimes less severe than that). Some things would cause more problems, but perhaps they were already fixed, or fixed soon afterward; I don't know much about it.
Funny, a couple of days ago I googled about superdeterminism again to see if there are any developments and came across Hossenfelder's and Palmer's paper on arxiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.06462 . Strangely enough, even though I've studied theoretical Physics, the fact that some of Quantum mechanic's claims are based on assumptions such as the fact we have free will, were never really discussed except in a course in the Philosophy of science I took, which, unfortunately, was not very scientific. I actually never heard about superdeterminism until I read one of Gerard 't Hooft's papers (see e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1548 https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.02874). Universities should put more emphasis on teaching the things we take for granted and give students the opportunity to question them, if we want to further our understanding.

> If we've created a situation where the "land of ideas" is remaining fallow, then the process isn't working as intended.

I think you mean, ‘has fallow spots’. It seems to me that writing law is similar to building software systems; you always want a perfectly effective and economical system but you never have that ideal. So good engineers don’t stand up and say this system isn’t perfect, it’s obvious. What’s the proposed improvement? That is interesting.

Yes, there are conventions that are generally harmful to code maintenance. For these things the preferred approach is screening via some sort of automated gatekeeper whether its unit tests, code beautification, better custom types, code validation, or something else. If a developer isn't willing to do the work to automate these subjective concerns then their complaints really need to be something measurable. Everything else isn't worth the energy when instead you could be productively writing the next hot feature.
