Everyone will eventually get one of the mutations. [1] Maybe a vaccine will cover all of them some day. In the mean time, everyone, especially those with pre-exisiting conditions should be focusing on removing burdens from their immune system (sugar, carbs, anything that spikes insulin), getting a LOT of sleep, and ensuring they are not deficient in D3, Zinc, L-Glutamine, Magnesium, well, all the essential minerals, vitamins and enzymes. I have not had a vaccine since the 1990's and I have only noticeably had the flu twice (h1n1, h3n2) and even then it just made me gassy. I went home as a courtesy to my coworkers. I have not had a cold in 15 years.

Will there ever be apologies for downplaying justified warnings and saying "it's just the flu" with dire consequences?

E.g. in a recent turnabout Vice President Mike Pence said today that there has been “irresponsible rhetoric” from people who have downplayed the seriousness of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak.
Thanks! I don't wear a watch so a smart watch doesn't appeal to me, so I never followed the product releases but you miss some of the nuanced history if you try and read what happened after the fact.
Specifying the action is equivalent to specifying the differential equations. Knowing that you start with a Lagrangian doesn't tell you more than knowing you start with some differential equations.

I feel like you missed a bit of the explanation out there. Where does the struct like class end up being instantiated and how is it linked to the class that presumably would have previously contained it? Does the struct like class get put into some kind of data store and the class that needed mutable state then holds a handle or similar?

I just don't see much of a practical difference between these two approaches. From a functional perspective, objects are fundamentally a set of namespaced functions that implicitly take the same state/map/JSobj as an argument bound to "this". You can pass that state in explicitly and it just becomes what the author is talking about. And you can have the same state-management nightmares with that approach, because nothing is fundamentally different. Instead of obj.method(arg1) you have namespace::function(obj, arg1). I've worked in a very large frontend codebase using this technique and it's just as much of a pain as implicitly managing state with objects, if not more of a pain b/c it's no longer idiomatic.

State management is hard. Changing how you refer to the state isn't going to make it any easier, just different.
That smells a lot like panic move and I am not sure it will move the needle much. Economy will severly shrink no matter what Fed do.
> There's no cure. Bodies will pile up regardless.

There's not cure, but there is treatment. Many deaths will be avoidable if we can slow down the spread, to spread out the load to avoid overwhelming the medical system too much.

Chelsea Manning attempted suicide in jail, lawyer says
>> viruses [...] are alive. Until reading the above quote, I had never considered the idea there was any question about this.

> in the scientific communities

"Is it alive? <long property checklist> Yes/No" is an example of K-12 science education content diverging from science community practice. Both by emphasizing a little used concept, and by being inconsistent with community use.

With bonus points for it being... widely taught; taught as if it were science; an unnecessary hook for learning a set of properties; and an incoherently unfruitful predicate.

I don't know if there's a real name for such? I call them science-education-isms.
Backtraces even without line numbers are still quite useful, as long as they have function names.

Patents are granted, then if challenged, can be invalidated in court. It should be the other way around, they shouldn't be granted in the first case.

Not all can handle being taken to court for a claimed patent infringement of a crappy patent. It's expensive, time-consuming, and difficult. Did I mention wasteful?
What do you mean it can disappear and nobody will even notice? I can think of a few things but I’d rather not assume. Can you spell it out so I can better reply?
I sort of learned it after running the gauntlet the first time, however I went to a technical college and my family was low enough income that grants basically paid for it all through financial aid.

Going back, I had a plan in place, prepped for over a year, asked like ten million questions to them making sure I knew exactly how everything was gonna play out. The saddest part wasn't even coming back to college, but that I realized my college is so lacking it sort of makes me wish I could've somehow knew that for this program beforehand.
I'm not sure that locking the place down for a little while per se will cause a recession. Numbers will take a hit for a while because people are prevented from spending and working, but the normal course of action after a snow day or staying home with the flu is to get up and go back to work and resume spending money. This is the path China could be on for its economy overall, if not for its economic interdependence with the U.S., which is handling things differently.

The U.S. is steering itself toward a year-or-more-long issue that has people fearfully avoiding stores, deliveries, workplaces, and the consequences of this will ricochet. A recession happens when people and businesses restrict spending and hiring, and that's exactly what this scenario causes in a chronic way.

But who knows? Maybe Gilead's experimental antiviral will be approved within a month or two, and maybe that will be enough to make people not fearful and regain economic confidence.
I cannot reproduce on my own, I need a mate and food and water and air to properly reproduce, that is most life is dependent on its environment to survive including other organisms depending on their needs.

A virus needs a host like any parasite, without the host many parasites would not be able to reproduce.
Does anyone else feel like this study is a bit tautological in that it's measuring attributes that are valued by the AA method? Many other methods don't preach abstinence so of course they're going to get less total abstinence duration. But I wonder if there are better ways to measure overall effectiveness and well-being. Some people learn to manage their drink and would fare poorly on that metric.
IANAL, but the fact that it says nothing about an obligation (I don't even believe it's implied, but I'm not a historical legal scholar) leads me to believe you're inserting your own bias.
There was literally a policy not to allow states to use testing from other countries. And also to restrict testing a lot, early on. Even India started aggressively testing many travelers long before.
Promotional posts like this tend not to do well on HN. Readers come here for intellectually interesting stories and discussion, which is a different register.

Also, when a bunch of new accounts show up to comment, it comes across as even more promotional, and HN users are likely to perceive that as spam. I'm sure that's why this post got flagged. I've removed the [flagged] marker from it for now, but in the future it would be best to take a different approach.

For example, an article giving the backstory of what you're working on, explaining what's different about it, and including technical detail, would be more on topic. Especially if it was written from a personal, as opposed to a corporate, point of view. HN readers like to relate to people, not companies, so it's always better to approach the community as peers rather than as users or customers.
What does this actually mean and how can I profit from it?
Soli is supposedly very accurate for minute movements and is very small and low-powered allowing it to be embedded in a phone, but this kind of tech has existed for a while. The Leap Motion comes in a really small, embeddable package and works over USB and can track hand movements quite accurately. It's been around for 10 years and was recently acquired by a haptics company. It's never managed to go mainstream or find any real applications outside of niche gaming.

They are actually, literally equivalent to each other. Differential equations aren't a "purely random walk," they are a statement of what is about to happen based on what is happening. You have three formalisms: Newtonian (differential equations), Lagrangian (action minimization), and Hamiltonian (differential equations, but derived from a scalar field kind of like in Lagrangian mechanics). They are all different ways of writing down the same thing, and their advantages and disadvantages are related to situational convenience.
Wait I can't self replicate...
Maybe the fucking monsters in the senate shouldn't treat relief for workers as controversial.
I think you are going about this incorrectly. Do not prioritize on commonality as your user count remains small. Instead prioritize on severity then carefully examine each defect as they come in. You are either willing to work the defect or you aren't. There is no harm in marking an issue as out of scope or won't fix. Just be clear and direct with your users that you have plans for this application and those plans only move in one direction.
I wonder how many systems still being sold today have 32-bit time stamps? I get the feeling you are dead on right about the skill problems, but I do wonder how many folks are only consumers and not originating any of the programming?
> What kind of asset is that?

A digital one.

The idea that gold gets its value because it's a tangible asset is wrong. Gold, as a lot of other things, gets most of its value from speculation. The real difference between gold and Bitcoin is the market size, maturity and general trust in gold that people have.

Some people simply want to be told "what" to do. They don't care about "why".

Others wish to understand "why" they are being told to do "that". These folks are typically on the science/engineering side of the spectrum.

Unfortunately, the "tell me what" population group size seems to widely outnumber the "tell me why" population group size, so most "reports/directives" from authority accommodate only the "tell me what" group, leaving those of us in the "why" category wondering "ok.... and just 'why' do you want me to do that?"
Unfortunately the US economy isn't very healthy - it's over-leveraged on debt and has been artificially propped up by cash injections into the market. In actuality this recession may be caused by corvid-19 but it was ready to go at the first serious economic hiccup.
It's not a panic move at all.

It's a required reassurance to investors and companies to prevent actual panic moves (i.e. complete market crash).

I agree that the economy will shrink nonetheless, but there's a difference between a small recession and a full blown depression.
For better or worse there has never been a time in recorded history with a “free market”. Money is simply a “social technology”(1). The goal of money ultimately is to promote stability and freedom (1).

In this case, the Fed is using Quantitative Easing (QE) to promote stability within the market. This should have a network affect throughout global markets. Hopefully this will stop the bleeding.

Regardless, buy buy buy.

Yeah. Or in this case, she has already been convicted and served her sentence.

Although if she were going to testify, it would make sense to insist on further immunity, given this grand jury's tendency to conjure charges out of thin air just as IBM conjures fake patents - "X, but with a computer".
> only pass arguments that function needs to do the job.

Why would users of that function bother to know what data it needs to do its job? It seems you'll end up polluting your whole code with the implementation details of one of its components. What happens of you want to change those implementation details?
"inject 1.5t" by that do they mean a 1.5t panic bailout for wall street? how can we find 1.5t in the budget but no money for universal healthcare, student loan forgiveness, ubi etc.

The article was devoid of any technical details... what exactly were they doing to "take down" the domains? Were the domains hosted on Azure? Were they given permission by ICANN to modify the DNS? I want details!
During the financial crisis circa 2007-8 gold also sold off initially when a lot of gold bugs believed it should rise higher given the financial markets instability.

The reason was that people needed to sell their "winners" in order to cover their "losers". Stocks were down, they sold gold which was way up at that point to cover some of the losses and get cash.

I've seen this argument by investors, but what's going to change?

The virus isn't going to magically get better overnight one day. It doesn't expire. This is either going to be EXTREMELY bad in the short run or very bad over a long period of time. Either way, the economy is either going to be hurt very badly all at once or slowly deteriorate as countries have to stay quarantined. (Something that the US may have to do soon.)

The historical mainframes usually were rented from IBM and the likes. Less sunk investment, less reasons to stick with it.

Which works equally well for remote AND local resources. Electron is popular for a reason.

All the centralized services - online Docs, Dropbox, Github etc., - are more subject to disruption and replacement than they would want you to believe.

SaaS has been a success in the same way "bring your own device" was a success - an end-run around the ossified, slow-moving and bureaucratic ICT department. It was nimble, fast and elastic; allowed for quick iteration and experimentation. Now that the SaaS is a big game, it's subject to the very same kind of disruption.

Take a look around, you'll see people using local Git repositories, and locally hosted web-based services to get shit done. Just to avoid the hassle of procurement & upkeep of big-name SaaS. Containers let you move the data & code to unmanaged iron where it's close to the user, instead of one big managed datacenter. SaaS and datacenter computing is not nimble anymore; local is nimble, and Google Stadia delivered the eulogy.
It's been a very long time since I've worked with dBASE/FoxPro, but from what I remember it stores data in a fixed-width format. So for a column to store an integer, it will zero pad the front of it to fit the width of the column.

Often this type of action is not the government spending that level of money with nothing in return. Generally it is buying an asset it intends to sell later (often at a profit).
Even so, I will echo the OPs main point of the USA had a head start and did nothing with it. These shortages and policies could have been reviewed and resolved back in January or even February.
Of course a lot of software goes into making AWS work. Is AWS a software business or a hardware business though? It certainly lets me get away from hardware. But I don't think that's true for AWS itself...

I mean, this conversation can keep going - I'm not really interested in digging in deeply to find the answer, because I don't think there's anything meaningful to be found. But I do object to scratch-the-surface level analysis like "Amazon is a valuable company these days, I guess the innovation happening in software outpaces all other fields of research combined" or "AWS makes most of Amazon's profit these days, which makes Amazon a software company".

Amazon might be a software company, but it might not be; it might be a logistics company, a consumer electronics company, a retail company, a data analytics company, a media company, a server farm company... it's not enough to say that AWS makes the most money, thus it's a software company.

Ran into this when my fiancé was browsing Etsy to get an idea of how to price some of her stained glass work. There was a particular listing that was ridiculously cheap, which raised my eyebrows. I looked at their sales history, and they had sold tens of thousands of this item. Clearly factory production in China.
1. Viruses that don't have an envelope have evolved to survive without the envelope. Viruses that do have an envelope haven't. Are you confused that removing a crab's exoskeleton kills it, given that there are lots of animals that don't have exoskeletons?

2. This is probably just sloppy usage of "some" and "most". That said, i think enveloped viruses are overrepresented amongst viruses that cause serious disease in humans, because the envelope helps them evade the immune system.

3. Some viruses don't have a capsid [1]! Coronaviruses do, though, so that's just missing from that diagram.

4. Surfactants like soaps do disrupt protein, but typically not as effectively as they disrupt lipid bilayers. There are numerous techniques in biochemistry and cell biology that depend on this fact - permeabilising cells for immunocytochemistry, or preparing membrane proteins for crystallisation, for example. You have to boil proteins in powerful detergents to be sure of denaturing them.

I wouldn't really call it better, they operate on different scales. Primer is much less bombastic and doggedly grounded to reality, which is really an anomaly in sci-fi media. Failure of the protagonists in Primer does not mean a World War 3 will happen or the planet will be destroyed, the biggest stake in the movie is one of the characters getting shot at their birthday party by an ex.

Personally I find this much more refreshing than the usual the-world-will-collapse scenarios. It's easily one of my favorite films, just because of how different it is than it's ilk, I've yet to find something like it again.
