The UK (and I'm not saying I agree with this) says that people are going to get covid-19 no matter what we do, so we want to get as many young healthy people to get now as possible. That means they stop being vectors for transmission, and it means we can manage hospital admissions and "cocoon" vulnerable people.

personally, I think this is a risky strategy that's going to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and totally over-whelm our hospitals who are already struggling under winter pressures.

I’m reminded of this:

> that may or may not actually be paid

It'll be paid. Most of their customers don't have any other choice but to pay it. (Otherwise, most of them already wouldn't be their customers, after all.)
I'm guessing the Robinhood "infinite money cheat" had a big impact here. Even if only a few thousand people built up crazily leveraged positions it could cause a tumble like this. The pattern makes sense to me, robinhood recalculates margin every night and liquidates in the morning, and the big drops have all been first thing in the morning pre-market.
Congrats on the launch Zack!

Possible G and FB have gotten faster and better with their detection of health specific ads, but up until about a year ago, one temporary workaround (while waiting for legitscripts) was to create an Instapage or Leadpages landing page with a subdomain (eg. lp.meetophelia.com) and direct ads there.

The markets have long historically grown at 7% annually. With 250 trading days per year, anytime the market moves more than 0.03 percent a day, it's an overreaction or an overcorrection.

Having seen incredible miracles, aswell as even surprizing prophecies come true multiple times...

Which includes things falling from the sky -- at the exact time of praying for them

For instance seeing a refugee camp catch fire, and so prayed for rain in the desert, etc, etc

-- Which gives me at least, hope for a different conclusion :)

Edit: no comment on the Hobby Lobby, I don't know anything particular about them
Except for they are not using random bonds, they are using Treasuries. This isn't random toxic debt, it's the debt of the US government to itself. More akin to "if banks are insolvent this ensures a certain degree of quantitative easing", which is a good thing since we are undershooting our inflation targets as is.
Doesn't make it right tho.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that link is real.
Make this for groups of people. One on ones are too intense!
I don't know much about them but their wikipedia page states:

> The museum says it is nonsectarian, non-political, and that it does not proselytize.[4][5] The former president of the museum, Cary Summers, said the goal was to "reacquaint the world with the book that helped make it, and let the visitor come to their own conclusions. ... We don't exist to tell people what to believe about it".[5]
Depends where you are. A number of Irish ISPs have soft caps, though they're usually of the "we reserve the right to throttle if you go over this" type, not "we will charge you a euro per GB if you go over this".
It at least seems clear that Trump himself views it as a negative, and certainly he's lost the benefit of a strong economy.
I assume you think so because it looks like 'standard' influenza which has a hard time surviving in spring. It's understandable to think that, problem is it's completely not known whether this virus also behaves like that.
> Interestingly, my ISP gave me a breakdown of my data usage, and I was under a meager 30gb/mo ever since my contact started. That surprised me as I watch a fair bit of YouTube etc, however, I guess it just doesn't add up to all that much.

My hypothesis (could be wrong, very anecdotal, no evidence):

1. YouTube does some pretty heavy compression to begin with (as several popular YouTubers have complained over the years)
2. YouTube in its default settings switches to the lower resolution when it detects you are not actively watching the video

I think this one two punch means that you sip on data even when you think you use YouTube a lot.
This is absolutely what we don't want to happen. If this is over in 2 months, there will be a lot of dead people. We want to stretch this out. We need to not overwhelm our healthcare system. Social distancing does not prevent the spread of the disease, it merely slows it until either we gain herd immunity or we develop a vaccine.
I understand what you’re saying. This is the problem with theoretical. I will make it more clear. I’ve only shared it heee, and am asking your opinions on it for that reason and others and I’ve made it clear here and on the site in the reference. I’ve found it equally irresponsible that people are sharing death rates without making it clear that it’s impossible to calculate correctly! So I think flagging it is a little overkill! How are we supposed to improve without asking the community!?
What? LOL. No it won't. A few providers will lift them temporarily and then go right back to how things were in a couple of months.

> the very fact that the limits can be lifted at will or certain high-traffic categories (such as a broadband company’s own streaming TV channels) can be exempted [... proves that] there is definitively enough capacity for the network to be used without those caps

Someone doesn't understand how the Internet works.

I was a union HVAC guy for a few years. And one very nice thing was that there were union shops and they went through the union to find employees. So if work dried up at one place the union would take care of getting my unemployment going and then when work came up they would call and say that I was needed elsewhere.

This probably wouldn't translate well to software. But it works great if you are installing ducts. Same goes for plumbers and electricians. My sisters first husband was a union electrician. That is why I looked into getting a union gig. I hate job hunting.

In the years I did it I worked for five different companies. I didn't have to run around dropping off resumes and doing practice tests. I just got a call from the union and was told where to go to work. And I made significantly more than my non-union counterparts. Easily more than the dues I had to pay.
Ask HN: How to self-censor our news
Given the COVID-19 situation, my fiance and I will be working from home for the forseable (minus a few days here and there).
We are informed of current affairs and recognise that we must play our part despite not being at risk physically. However, our mental health will likely be suffering - mainly thanks to the constant news updates and habits of checking it that we've formed, and the fact that we won't have an office full of people and meetings scheduled to keep us focussed on actual work.

What's the cleanest way to block a list of websites of our choosing from our home wifi? I don't want to tunnel all our traffic through a VPS or anything as there will be a lot, and I understand that it won't help when I'm using work's VPN. Perhaps setting up a DNS server on an instance and getting DHCP to tell the clients to use it? We're using MacBooks and iPhones mainly.
Funny, I always interpreted the gray branches in that diagram to mean short lived branches.

I just have dev and master with all my projects. Everything else is short lived. And short lived branches are rebased and squashed. Also, all devs work with forks to keep upstream pristine.

And there are those dogmatic about trunk development. I think if you follow the rule of thumb of don’t let dev and master get too out of sync you don’t need to do trunk.
Ok, we've attempted to take some of the sensation out of the title above.
Open source client for a closed source backend.

Businesses aren't charities but man does this feel cynical to anyone else? Twilio is not a bad investment for any business, in my opinon -- they make very complicated things very simple and offer a lot of value. This feels like OSS-washing though, and I feel like I'm a mark -- "use our awesome open source stuff so we can pull you into our ecosystem".
>Remember they are a hardware company not software, they use the software ecosystem to force you to buy their hardware

This is what a lot of people thought and it is actually the other way round, and as Steve Jobs put it himself [1], Apple is a software company, you just have to buy its hardware to use it.

That has nothing to do with what he said. At the very least, you can leave their modem also set as a router and just put your router behind it (double NAT). More likely, you can turn off all of the "router" functions of their modem and still put your own router behind it.

There is no way for them to differentiate whether the device behind the modem is a router or a computer.
As far as I know the locals in most places despise the train of strangers who make noise late near their house/building and hope they aren't people with bad intentions.

Sleeping in an Airbnb is no more local than a hotel except hotels can't get zoning in those neighborhoods and wouldn't get permits for fire safety with those buildings.

Not too hard for Trump to manufacture a villain here, if he had to- immigration etc..
That's been done before, and I think it generally works. Not sure if those repos have any actual readership inside China though.
I don't think that's a helpful way of looking at things. Presidents who go to war generally don't lose elections because Presidents generally don't choose to get into unpopular wars. But there are exceptions - that's how we got Nixon, Obama campaigned against McCain's Iraq support.

I think it will be far more important how Trump deals with this than the simple fact of it happening.
He paraded the CEO's of Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Target out like prized mules and everyone talked heavily of the new Public/Private partnership that was needed to solve this issue.... I wish I was kidding.
By cautious I mean there are 100 confirmed cases in my country, yet everyone is already talking about it and few people are scoffing. Our cafés are mostly empty, which yes counts as being cautious, and yes it is literally how social distancing and flattening the curve works.

The cowards who downvoted this out of some sheer brand cult (without commenting) should out themselves.

(Yeah, I'm self-flagellating at this point, I know. Why would any ever comment negatively on a thread dealing with Apple matters? I dunno. I think I just really dislike cultists.)
In 2009 we had swine flu, H1N1 which was declared a pandemic by the WHO.

> These final estimates were that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (8868-18,306) occurred in the United States due to pH1N1.

It remains to be seen if the hospitalizations or deaths due to COVID approach or exceed the levels of H1N1, which itself was less fatal than a typical flu.

Certainly the response to COVID is markedly different. But I think in the end what will matter is the actual numbers impacted. If the virus turns out to be not as deadly as H1N1 I think people will seriously question the role of the media in building up hysteria around this coronavirus.

You’re assuming again that everyone has a laptop for home and a desktop at work (rare in my experience).
I don't think Nietzsche quite fits this context. "Will to power" without meekness, suffering, or poverty seems to fit a supervillain more than a superhero.
> we've effectively lost self-modifying code

Why do you think we've lost it? You can still write self-modifying code today. You may need to change permissions on the pages if you have a system that doesn't allow both execution and writing at the same time, but that's easy.
Don't really like the misleading projects Twilio releases as "open source". They are basically releasing demo code of how to use their commercial, paid for backend service and while that demo code is open-source, I don't think that's what people are thinking of when they read that title. I think most people think they are releasing some kind of self-hosted solution. At least that's what I think when I read this.

With that said, Twilio has a very easy to use API and if usage cost isn't as big of a deal to you as development time is, it's an easy decision to utilize what they offer.
Yes, all of this is explained in the article. They've been really open about it each time. They haven't really been making the same mistakes each time and they have been working more and more with experts who seem to be running things very well.

From the article:

'The museum is also reevaluating the provenance of all the material in its collection, and it is prepared to return any stolen artifacts to their rightful owners. In 2018, the Museum of the Bible determined that a manuscript in its collection sold several times beforehand had in fact been stolen from the University of Athens in 1991. The museum promptly returned the artifact to Greece.

'Christopher Rollston, a specialist on Semitic texts at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., welcomes the effort to set things right. “The Museum of the Bible did some really bad things eight to 10 years ago, and they were rightly criticized severely,” he says. “I believe that they’ve made a number of attempts in recent years to right the ship.'
Yeah, I see the issue with relying solely on anecdote.

Re: safety of kratom itself: AKA (https://www.americankratom.org/) has had independent physicians look into each reported death involving kratom in the US, and all have involved various other substances of abuse, none have been exclusively cause by kratom.

When taking powdered leaf itself, OD is pretty much impossible since you end up vomiting. There are many extracts and such on the market, but most people I know partake of (including myself) are wary about strength and clarity of said extracts.

I'd love to see more of a push for some legitimate research, I think it's something that could be very effective in this space. Good luck with licensing and I'll be sure to share the service with ones I know are currently trying to kick opiods.

Everyone who is going to has already made their mind about Trump. Nothing that happens in the next few months is going to change that after the last 3 years. If he botches the coronavirus response his detractors will yell about it and his defenders will blame someone else.
Entirely off topic, but it would be interesting to see a physical library that only contains works that have been censored.
Personal moral codes and dedication to law and order are two different things. There are very few modern movie superheroes who have a dedication to law and order as far as I can tell; they're generally vigilantes that do extrajudicial killings unless part of secret government programs.

I have a T-Mobile plan with 5GB of "unlimited data" and it goes down to 256kbps when the data is used up. As I learned the hard way, there is no way to buy more data or restart the billing cycle earlier no matter how much you are willing to pay.
Does it pass any sniff test that they've built a $500 million museum about, "The Bible" in the shadow of the Capitol b/c of the goodness of the heart?

Like, they're just really that into the Bible? It's not like it's out of print; that it needs to be reacquainted with.

In what way/shape/form does The Bible have any geographical relevance to Washington D.C.?
It might come back in October, and Trump declared emergency probably too late. I think we've reached the point where we will see a LOT of infections and deaths. There was /is a chart that showed how it behaves and how counties were just a week or two behind an Italian scenario.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19)
And my point is that the ZTE open is nothing compared to the hardware modern (even mid-range) phones are shipping. All software is shit (to varying degrees) and other platforms mask their inefficiency with beefy hardware, and continuous fucking updates that almost don't run on older phones.

If an analysis of FFOS being bad depends on (in my opinion) running good-enough software on terribly slow hardware, the wrong question is being answered.
Christianity has a long, deep history that has influenced the creation of massive amounts of art, literature, architecture, pottery, etc.

Unfortunately I tend to focus on the atrocities that have happened in history in the name of the religion itself. Perhaps that would make a good topic to build a museum about.

What's wrong with having a public / private partnership?
The market seems to be responding to the removal of uncertainty about a national emergency declaration.
Is this one of the angles that unions use to sell themselves to companies? They can help by providing a well of valuable resources to draw on in an as-needed basis. When both hiring and firing would be an easier proposition, I could see more activity occurring as a result. These people would have experience at different companies and could provide their knowledge like many say is the benefit of people rotating jobs a lot in the SF Bay Area.
You realize that's due to shorts, puts, and more bad news right? It's not mysterious at all.
Ask HN: What are your real response/s to people who cough uncovered in public?
In a confined environment. Especially if they refuse to do anything about it and/or choose to lie about/assume the root cause. More than just leaving, which doesn't solve the problem and isn't always possible.
Yes. Some of the original work was done in (pre-occupation) East Jerusalem, and a good chunk of the fragments are in Jordan today.

A lot of the early work was done by Americans, but that's more because it was the immediate post-war period and that's who had money and access at the time; if they were found any earlier it would have likely been Brits taking the initial look.
>There's a problem, though: we're restricted by regulations from letting people know that this treatment is available. Both Facebook and Google require a third-party certification before allowing us to use their platforms, and many sites like Reddit don't allow any advertising for addiction treatment at all.

Those limitations were added as a response to real abusive and harmful practices [0].
Just changing the advertising rules hasn't solved the problem, now almost any drug related search has had the results SEOed into complete uselessness by rehab companies. The answers they give to basic questions (what doses are harmful, is it safe to mix these substances) are usually misleading and sometimes explicitly false in order to maximize their conversion rates.
