It's more complicated. Their collateral ratio has dropped below the liquidation level of 150%. So at best they would only get a fraction of their collateral back (any liquidation has a discount and a 13% penalty) - fundamentally they lost because their speculative bet didn't pay off. So yes, they lost more than they should, but describing it like they lost everything because of the liquidation problem alone is misleading.

The "attack" was trivial in that there was only one bid at an auction - not enough people liquidating undercollateralized positions, but now so many people are looking at this it's never going to repeat again. It's an obvious risk only in hindsight.

That's kind of standard with DOCSIS. You can't have a lot of upload speed due to the available bandwidth for upload channels.

1Password does this as well.

I just looked on iOS, it’s got an option to “clear clipboard” which says “Clears any item copied from 1Password to the clipboard after 90 seconds”

I notice that occasionally, but it seems to be a reasonable compromise of security over annoyingness, in the absence of proper access controls to the clipboard contents...
I work in the crypto industry and I think this a failure of our community to properly inform people of the risks.

These people weren't gambling for massive returns. They thought it would be a safe way of getting pretty good ones.

So if you get a negative result from the test-kit, you let the person go, then later after the fact, you realize that it's a false-negative and you shouldn't have let the patient go ... now you've just spread the virus even more
The difference I think most people are missing is that Hackerone will not pay you if you don't find a bug. So they do not value your time, they value the results.

Leads to the conclusion that they should pay for the results and not for the time it took to find it. Also, there might have been weeks of failed attempts before finding this.
It can be a political move and be sent to many other countries as well. That makes it more subtle. Jack Ma is really just a CCP puppet, this is a blatant political move. The US doesn’t even need test kits right now!

There are arguments for “legitamate uses” of RATs and rootkits.

Im not convinced the convenience of not needing to paste into your dictionary app is a sufficient counter argument to the potential bad uses of completely unrestricted clipboard access...
There's no shortage of test kits, there's a shortage of PCR lab capacity to process those samples.

Masks and ventilators would be a good thing to donate though.
Not if you already have a legacy cable television network it isn’t.
I don't think you understand what oversubscription means, tiered network topologies' links increase in performance nearer to the IX, and that someone, usually the large ISP themselves, often owns the network all the way to the IX. Cable internet providers in the US get away with extreme oversubscription in certain low avg bandwidth areas and don't publish these details as required in other countries.

I like friday (option expiration day) where time premium is minimal and correct guess will bring you 100%+. Incorrect guess will make you lose 100% :)

But the key is if you think that market is going down - you can monetize this move.
Exactly. At this point only irredeemable bureaucrats care whether a face mask meets ISO-12345 compliance or a test kit has documents stamped by the right government Deputy Inspector of Inspectors. Bring the things in and worry about the right official seals of approval later.
You're right. My Android smartphone as well asks for my interactions in order to allow data transfer, but who knows. I wouldn't take the risk.
What I'd recommend, is to have a "USB condom" (charge-only), in order to ensure physically (besides logically, like you mentioned), that there will be no chance of juicing my data.
Or, you could just use slack. It has a recurring message thing as well, which you can set on a channel.

Also, once you’ve got a password manager installed, it tends to get used for more things than just passwords. iOS’s non clipboard password/login doesn’t help me any when I’m copy pasting, say, my bank details from a secure note in 1Password.
Learn some new languages (human or machine), read that book you never made time for (don’t waste it on infinite jest), do something writing. I’m sure virtual events will pop up but you gotta have some stuff to keep you occupied otherwise.
Following your line of thought, giving people easy ways to self-diagnose as quickly as possible is critical. Can we at least deliver flu & cold medicine to as many people as humanly possible? For free? So that they can, themselves, eliminate Covid19 as a possible cause.

That will help flatten the curve.

In concert, universal healthcare at point of service is a must.

As is propping up the people via direct material aid. Food. Rent money. Paid sick leave.

I thought I heard Trump say that interest on federal student loans would be “waived”. Did he mean forgive or defer? I don’t know if it’s at all true because he is a compulsive liar.

If it is true, great. But insufficient.

What we also need is a debt jubilee and infra & public investments that are truly net-positive for the neediest.

This will lead to inflation. Which by the way will be sorely needed. And by every affected country. I’m curious about the MMT community‘s point of view on this.
Recently (though mine was the only comment): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22461647
Mortgage interest rates dramatically affect the price of a house. House payments for the first few years are nearly all interest. It's a LOT better than nothing.

A car lot salesman told me once that the dealerships don't make money selling cars - they make the money selling financing, i.e. the interest. Consider that when saying "better than nothing".
It's actually hard to tell whether this is a joke or what...
17Track does but only while starting the app and exiting the add tracking number dialog. It doesn't appear to snoop in the background, but there's no way to know for certain. Maybe clipboard access should be gated with a privacy permission like position, contacts, camera, etc.?
Most of the loudness discomfort I've experienced while riding the bus comes from waiting the bus on the roadside. Traffic in general is ridiculously noisy for pedestrians. Especially at ~50mph the road noise starts to be unbearable. Inside a car it's all so quiet. Reducing traffic speeds would help with this a lot.
Letter from CEOs Re Expedited Covid-19 Testing
Yes, by lowering the download speed, at least on DOCSIS 3.0.

DOCSIS 3.0 supports up to 8 upload channels for a total speed of 216 Mbps (on 6.4 MHz per channel). That's shared for all users on the CMTS, which could be a lot, depending on the setup. For comparison, on EuroDOCSIS 3.0, with 32 channels the total download speed is 1600 Mbps for all users, and on DOCSIS 3.0 it's 1216 Mbps.

DOCSIS 3.1 allows for multiple OFDMA upload channels which can allow for up to 2 Gbps shared upload speed capacity, and DOCSIS 4.0 allows for symmetric 10/10 Gbps shared capacity with an undefined split DS:US (you can have the same number of channels). It uses extended RF spectrum in the cable and also needs new amplifiers and splitters.
Yeah, for sure it can't be 100% effective.

I suppose what really matters is out of all the infected (or more precisely, contagious) people, what percentage of them have a fever. If it's 10%, then it's not worth doing. If it's even 50%, then maybe it could make a significant difference.

Fever is one of the three main symptoms (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/symptoms.htm...), so it seems like it has to at least be a significant percentage. But just how high a percentage, I don't know.

(It’s sad how much trust Goog have lost, at least with me. I don’t seriously thing Goog would try to slip that behaviour into Chrome, but it’s close enough to believable to make it a funny/not funny response...)
Not completely interoperable. At least initially (and as far as I'm aware ever). VB.Net never could understand the unsigned integral & char types. If you used unsigned types in C#, those members wouldn't be BCL compatible and at sufficient warning level, you had to annotate members with [BCLCompliant(false)] if my memory serves correctly.

There were other language constructs at the time that werent 1:1 parity at v1.0, but in nearly 20 years time, I forget.
Caching issue is unlikely, given that HN runs as a single thread on a one server, writing to a flat-file backend. As far as I'm aware the main cache involved is the OS's page cache.

To your main point, the dupe detector seems to be fairly limited; I think it only checks for the same URL in the past 12 hours or 100 posts or something. It seems to be just to keep the same post from showing up multiple times in /new.

The bus system in Taiwan is amazing. You see all ages represented from school kids to the elderly. They don't smell and have dedicated lanes in places. There are so many of them that you rarely have to wait more than 10 minutes at any stop. It's a great alternative to the subway for shorter rides.

It seems like cities like NY and San Francisco have the density to support similar systems.
In an ordinary US government, that's true.

But in the current one, who gets on Fox seems to be a more reliable indicator of the thinking of the ruling clique than official pronouncements. Stuff that gets repeated on Fox enough tends to end up coming out of the President's mouth eventually. Official pronouncements from Secretaries of Suchandsuch get countermanded by tweet. One of the President's closest advisors broadcasts on Fox nightly.

"Blame China" is a simple message and it would not be rational to think it is not going to be tweet-official policy soon enough.

Please think this through. You're not completing a 6 week grocery trip in the same period of time as a single week grocery trip. You're going to be touching the same amount of items, you're going to be breathing in the grocery store air for the same amount of time.

Even if there was a marginal benefit to yourself it would be still be incredibly selfish to stockpile to the detriment of the vulnerable. The scarcity mentality is very dangerous, please do not perpetuate it.

I believe it. I prefer to pay cash for cars, and it is extremely difficult to purchase new cars for cash at many dealerships. They don't like it and will do things like refuse to honor advertised prices.
One wonders what centralized microgridding would look like.
We're given some money initially to do setup and some more after your first few months.

Ah yes, yet another person who looked at the Snopes piece's headline and nothing else. One would think reading it, and the Twitter thread it is based on, that to save money (or because the Trump administration hates science, or something) the entire "US Pandemic Response Team" agency was eliminated to save money and everyone in a large DC office building was fired.

Actually reading the contemporary NBC News https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/tom-bossert-t... and Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/0... articles it cites, they seem to have been a handful of people in one team in the National Security Council hierarchy, that the new National Security Advisor reassigned to related agencies, as part of a desire to have his own hierarchical structure. Ziemer resigned because he wanted to keep his team the way it was.

COVID19 was not a surprise; that is, it was known to exist in China some time before the first cases appeared in the US. It is not unreasonable for a government to assemble a team to respond to something like a pandemic as needed, as opposed to having people dedicated solely to the purpose and nothing else. And that's exactly what the US did, implementing the ban on non-American travelers who'd been to China in late January, among other things.

You may or may not agree with this. But please don't claim that this is somehow prima facie proof of the Trump administration's malfeasance/evilness.

There are a few hobbiests who've been working on smartphones powered by small chipsets like the Raspberry Pi Zero using off the shelf parts.

There are also rather a lot of KaiOS smart phones with the form factor of a flip phone, although I don't know how easy to repair they are or how many of them work on US networks.
One suggestion: rather than just retyping the 'th', retype the whole word 'length'.

And what if the mask itself is already tainted with the virus? Wouldn't you want to verify that it's actually free of the virus in the first place? It is coming from China.
There are a large number of job titles. But I would say someone qualifies as a "banker" if they are responsible for a flow of money, or if their work consists of helping other people implement flows of money.

I would be comfortable calling e.g. a corporate treasurer a "banker" in this sense, though I wouldn't expect corporate treasurers to be included in the category "bankers" in the context of this piece.

For this piece, something like the intersection of (1) the definition I provide with (2) the class of people employed by "banks".

A teller occupies a position of responsibility in that they can cause a lot of mischief by misbehaving. But I don't think the responsibility to refrain from stealing from the company is the relevant kind of responsibility. A teller at work isn't supposed to be making any decisions of any kind.

VB is one of those things that let the determined create useful things. Not unlike Microsoft Access.

Instead of actually learning principles and practices, and a 'good' language, they could just hack something together than managed to just barely work, armed with a $99 copy of Visual Basic and a 'Teach Yourself VB in 21 Days' books from SAMS publishing.

And by the time they knew any better, they were up to their ears in shit. Chances are, if you have a big project in VB, you also have the following problems:

* You're not using version control. Or worse, you're running Sourcesafe.

* You're not using secure encryption or communication

* You're not using secure programming practices

* You're not using a modern, secure OS

* You're also using some 16 or 32-bit utility libraries that nobody has the code to

* You're employing developers who have 20 years of "1 year experience with VB"

Bullshit. When the CDC has 500k tests, by all means, regulate away. To prohibit using even potentially working technology when the alternative is nothing is barbaric.
You're welcome to go back further, but it's mostly commentary on the current state of those companies. Google / FB / others have become significantly less innovative as time has proceeded. They are almost entirely driven by their core product (with little changes, despite comments suggesting incremental innovation - not enough to justify thousands of devs) and acquisitions. Others, like Apple and Microsoft, seem to be more willing to innovate internally.
That's why a lot of people do financing, pay the first monthly payment so that the seller/financer gets their kickback, and then pay off the rest of the loan on day 31.
That's insane. If the untraceable masks only block particles larger than 1 micron rather than 0.3 microns, they are useless. If instead of being true N95 they are N80, they are deadly junk.

This isn't about bureaucracy, this is about engineering and science. Junk is junk, and it can kill you when you assume you are being protected (or protecting others) and you are not because they lied to you.
Golan Levin did a project in 2002 called "The Secret Lives of Numbers":

The Secret Lives of Numbers

The Secret Lives of Numbers (2002: Golan Levin, Jonathan Feinberg, Shelly Wynecoop and Martin Wattenberg) is an interactive data visualization and online artwork, commissioned by Turbulence.org. An exhaustive empirical study was conducted to determine the relative popularity of every integer between zero and one million. The resulting information exhibits an extraordinary variety of patterns which reflect our culture, our minds, and our bodies -- forming a numeric snapshot of the collective consciousness. In The Secret Lives of Numbers, these analyses are returned to the public in the form of an interactive visualization, whose aim is to provoke awareness of one's own numeric manifestations.

The authors conducted an exhaustive empirical study, with the aid of custom software, public search engines and powerful statistical techniques, in order to determine the relative popularity of every integer between 0 and one million. The resulting information, presented in an interactive online information visualization, exhibits an extraordinary variety of patterns which reflect our culture, our minds, and our bodies.

For example, certain numbers, such as 212, 486, 911, 1040, 1492, 1776, 68040, or 90210, occur more frequently than their neighbors because they are used to denominate the phone numbers, tax forms, computer chips, famous dates, or television programs that figure prominently in our culture. Regular periodicities in the data, located at multiples and powers of ten, mirror our cognitive preference for round numbers in our biologically-driven base-10 numbering system. Certain numbers, such as 12345 or 8888, appear to be more popular simply because they are easier to remember.
