There are already a bunch of things you are not allowed to do in a free and democratic society if it is unsafe for other people if you do it.

If there exists a home test that can test you for dangerous infectious diseases, and you are forced to take that in the morning before you go out, then this is comparable to not being allowed to drive while under the influence.
I wouldn't suggest anyone being forced to take the vaccine against their will.

Respect for firearms is an extremely important skill to teach a child. Having grown up hunting, this was taught to me at a very young age. But more kids die from drowning in pools than from accidental firearm discharges, and it's also important to teach your child water safety and swimming skills.

> caring too much about other people's feelings is an anti-super power

How much is too much and how little is being plainly emotionally irresponsible?

> just assuming that the other person doesn't like me, and then making a conscious decision to make the effort to make them like me

How would you manage trying too much?

> I think being attractive (personality) and likable is a trainable social skill, and once you do it often enough the effort becomes effortless.

How about people that engage in social activities everyday and the social anxiety is always there?

> Of course a mind reading device to skip the presentation stuff would also be nice.

Even if you had such a device, would you be able to interpret what you read from someone else's mind?

I really think the problem is more complex than what you are advising here.

Right, sorry...I sort of think of PCR as 'grep for genomes', even though it doesn't really 'read' the DNA.
I wouldn't expect anything to happen for MRI scanners because they are putting the electric fields over tiny patches on a silicon chip. The whole point of the design is that the effect doesn't extend very far past the tiny area where it's meant to be.
Summer might help, but there have been cases in the tropics, so it's not completely killed by higher temperature.
> The virus is already essentially everywhere.

For one thing, your setup is bad. You simply do not know that to be true.

Your premise is some kind of equality of distribution, which is never going to be the case.

Simple scenario: how about if the US ends up having 20 times as many cases as Canada, while having only 10 times the population.

Cultures - specifically the people that derive from them - are all different. They all behave differently. They will all comply with or violate quarantines differently. They will all spread, or not spread, the virus differently.

Compare Italian touching culture with Germany. Very different cultures.

It's also better to not be responsible for any more foreign citizens than absolutely necessary, during a time of panic, quarantine, national emergency. We do not yet know how bad this is going to get.

I don't understand why people keep repeating the terrible premise that it doesn't matter, when it's so incredibly obvious there are numerous important ways that it matters. The experts are calling for these travel lockdowns, and they're doing it for good reasons.
You don’t vaccinate patients, you treat them. Everyone else gets the vaccine. These are absolutely concerns for the people that would be vaccinated.
While I agree it isn't UBI, I think it's UBI-light.

I am not necessarily saying it's a bad idea, I am just jaded that solutions always follow existing political ties.

I am sure there are logical arguments for it. But there are also logical arguments for tax cuts right now.

I am just an idiot on the internet. All I can say is I get skeptical whenever an idea purports to solve any situation that arises.
That would mean tinting windshields too much, so, I'm afraid no.
I'd say "can be afforded by the World for everyone". Sure, the average GNI (gross nat. income) for the poorest countries is about $2 (USD) per day, but affordability is more complex. However, if we taxed the World, and paid according to ability of nations to pay ... I mean USA could probably pay it for everyone and only have to not build an aircraft carrier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_R._Ford-class_aircraft_... says that is $12B, money to spare!).

[Yes, finance isn't that easy, the knock on effects would make the cost possibly greater, maybe less(!)?]
> But during this this current term we've already done #1 via the 1Trillion tax cuts to mostly the wealthy.

Tax revenue has not decreased. The deficit is a spending problem not a revenue problem.
Especially interesting to me is the entry on "shortness of breath", which is common in COVID-19 but NO for both flu and cold.
I think the point is that the measures are overblown in relation to the hazard COVID-19 actually constitutes. It is a pandemic, and relatively virulent.

However, symptoms and mortality rate have been exaggerated by the media, causing more panic than necessary. If a wave of Influenza would get the same attention and monitoring, it would expose similarly shocking stats ("exponential" growth, and around half a million deaths yearly). Yet there are very few measures actually taken by governments there, because it's difficult and basically an uphill fight.

For what it's worth, note that alleged mortality rates for COVID-19 are in fact just very rough upper bounds, since there is no systematic testing happening yet on a large scale. The closest to that is probably South Korea, where deaths make up less than 1% of confirmed cases. In contrast, Influenza mortality rates are always based on estimations, not just on documented infections.
They'll get a flash of bright light, jerk the wheel to the left and kill three teenage girls by driving head on into them.

> considering the reason that most modules in npm are still in ES5 is exactly because of the monopolistic practices that Microsoft followed back in the day which makes Internet Explorer still relevant.

Could you tell me more about that?
So sad:(
actually we're more screwed if it has -- that means it would have burned out world wide in 6 months and 10s of millions would have died.
> charities ... churches, synagogues, etc., and frankly good old fashioned neighborly assistance

All of those things have displayed discrimination against groups they don't like in the past, or have an overt or covert missionary agenda. Charities have also come under fire for spending much of their funds raised on high executive salaries and not so much on actual aid to the needy. It is no surprise that much of the developed world no longer considers them a reasonable social safety net. (Indeed, in the Nordic countries the churches have largely given up their historical niche as a distributor of charity, since they feel the state can do a better job of taking care of the needy than they can.)
I think GoCardless is another type of payment service that could fit your domain possibly.

Hi, Stripe's support keep telling us it is a a bank error.

According to stripe logs, a successful transaction has 3 steps: create a token (/v1/tokens), then the customer (/v1/customers) and finally generate the payment (/v1/charges). At the moment, all the transactions are falling when they receive the customer (/v1/customer). I am not sure what's causing the issue, I am requesting to talk to an engineer to get any response other than "talk to your bank" (we have talked to them 4 times already :(

Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify what's going on.
The answer to your question is obvious: You have to read the article to get that information, it's not in the headline.
Well this should be a fun stress test for the ISPs. See if they really can deliver the bandwidth they promise (I'm guessing they can't).

Subsequent waves should be a lot easier to contain if we’re prepared for them and act immediately at the first signs of renewed spread. Apart from contact tracing, judicious use of targeted, local lockdowns in areas where community spread pops up again can prevent the need for country-wide lockdowns.
Ask HN: App idea for managing Covid transmission vectors
A thought I have just had, which the HN community is ideally placed to act on, on how to potential curtail the exponential growth of covid and other transmittable diseases:

If each person installed an app which logged Bluetooth IDs, along with a timestamp and perhaps signal strength, we could use this information to infer a degree of risk of transmission from one person to another: the longer a Bluetooth signal is nearby, the greater the chance of spread.

By logging this data, we can couple this with a means to have positive cases submit their BT ID, and immediately all those people who have been nearby can be notified, and can take precautionary measures.

I can see a number of challenges here, but in the current climate they may not be showstoppers. There is no need to post BT data to a central server, as it can be held locally and can simply monitor a centralised list of "hot" Bluetooth IDs.

What technical limitations have I overlooked? E.g. would this be at all possible on iOS, would this likely be too great a battery drain to the viable, etc?

Even though a tool like this would not reduce the initial rate of infection, I expect it to dramatically improve the identification of those at risk of having being infected, without requiring wholesale isolation of communities.

Thoughts?
> We want to own the entire checkout experience

The less you see, the better. Being PCI DSS compliant (as soon as you see/store sensitive transaction data) is a pain...
The Fraser Institute is not a reliable source, it's a right wing think tank.
> transactions are falling because some issue when passing the token/customer to stripe

That reads more like an issue in your stack than with stripe. Has this happened since 3d secure rolled out? Perhaps something with the same site cookie changes? Ca bundle out of date if this is backend passing to stripe?

Without knowing why you are having issues, you're running blind.
> people you might be defending yourselves from are probably just as desperate

Somehow I am having a hard time empathizing with people I am put in the position of having to defend myself from.
Self-quarantine means they send you home and tell you not to leave for 2 weeks.

Unless you are in such an extreme case that you need a respirator or something, in which case they will hospitalize you and you might be around other diseased victims, but if you are in that condition then it is probably not a false positive. There is a shortage of hospital beds worldwide right now, so they are sending everyone home unless hospitalization is considered life-saving.
Switzerland is in state of emergency since today, it's great because they can deploy military to help.
You could cut out the vast majority of giving people $1000 they don't need by only giving it to people that ask for it. If you wanted to go further you could check the persons last tax return. If they exceed some threshold then you could deny them.

Well they are using the Fraser Institute, it's a right wing think tank that aims to take away things like universal care in favour of private care. So, I wouldn't trust it.

I think Sun was worse than MS. Your scenario would terrify me.

Sun’s hardware was expensive although their software was nice. Their handling of Java put me off them and led to this current state with Oracle.

They had many positives, but I’d rather have old Microsoft than old Sun if I had to pick only one to eat everything. Definitely prefer new Microsoft.
Like Paul Graham.
The rate is increasing, it's slightly worse. It's looking really really really bad. The vaccine's purpose will be to stop this from happening yearly for the rest of human history.
I don't see the payment intent endpoint listed here, which means you're not allowing for authentication challenges (SCA/PSD2). So it's possible the bank is denying the charge, but your flow isn't accounting for it if it's not using payment intents. See here for updating your implementation to account for SCA: https://stripe.com/docs/strong-customer-authentication/migra...
It is exciting to see that having everything in a single application is being validated by GitHub. Last year it was very clear they are switching from a marketplace model to a single application by including Verify (CI), Package, and Secure.

We think Git(Lab|Hub) will become the two most popular solutions and we look forward to this competition https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/biggest-risks/#...

I think the companies that should be nervous are ones that have only one stage or ones that have multiple stages but as a suite of applications instead of a single application https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/single-application... There are a lot of these https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/
A much more correct translation of the Sartre quote would be, "Hell is the Other", where "the Other" is a term of art in philosophy with a great deal of nuance, but it's funnier to translate it as "Hell is other people", so we do.

What I meant was, we don't want to redirect them to another website. I agree with what you mention.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.
The problem isn't changes, it's accommodating multiple versions. Even figuring out where to find headers is not necessarily easy if you're not the local C compiler, for whom the tooling must only begrudgingly exist.
Insane that this is happening without federal coordination.

The text of the order itself is not available. I hope it is not as poorly thought out as the article suggests. What about home maintenance providers - plumbers and electricians? Surely they must be allowed to perform essential services. Delivery personnel - can I still order things from Amazon? What if I need medical supplies or equipment that is not available from a local provider, who will deliver it?
On the other hand, this is arguably just a simple defect in the C89 wording.

In the previous sentence, it is clearly written "... for which the Standard imposes no requirements."

The issue is then that "permissible" appears to give requirements.

That's an apparent contradiction in wording, which they rectified by changing "permissible" to "possible", which is a justifiable action that doesn't change the language.
Yes, dextromethorphan. Thanks.
Great article (and nice music). Wish I had read this pointers years ago, when I still had a lot of free time.
Maybe a nice hobby for corona quarantine time :-)
a small percentage of a large number is still a large number. 80% infected within 1 year and ~10% of those require hospitalization.
usa: 350m => 80% is 280M => ~30 million hospital/ICU beds for 2-4 weeks.
this is on top of regular/ongoing hospitalisation. hence it hitting any african country or india with the same force would be devastating.

You hit the nail there. So many hobbies that used to be in-person have transferred to the internet.

Personally, I thought that would be enough for getting my social fix, but boy was I wrong. As I get older, I'm finding out that there is something essential about physically hanging out with a common goal, whether it's sports, hiking, boardgames, etc.
You misunderstood my question. The question is why use synthetic fuel for airplane, and natural fuel for ground stations?

Only once you are no longer using natural fuel (pumped oil) for ground stations anywhere in the world, only then does it make sense to start making synthetic fuel for airplanes.
How many meals should you deliver in one delivery? In what order? Where can the food be in the car? (Is it ok to put it on the floor?) How long can the food be allowed to get cold before it's no longer ok to deliver? What are you expected to cover, insurance wise, for your delivery drivers? How is your business prepared if your delivery driver has an accident? How much do you need to contribute to vehicle maintenance? Who owns the vehicle?

Yeah, I'd say it's definitely not just 'throw food in a box' and driving it somewhere.
You don’t have to redirect to another website. I recommend getting a better web developer because integration with Stripe can be completely seamless.

Microsoft's corruption of ISO to standardize Office Open XML is much more recent than that.
Sure, but business travel only accounts for 1.5% of GDP. And it's pretty unlikely that it permanently falls by more than 50%. Then you have the fact that if company's spend less on business travel, they'll have more to spend on other things. In particular expect to see products like Zoom and Slack get much more spending as virtual meetings become the norm.

Finally even if business travel falls, expect consumers to make up a lot of the reduction in demand. The capacity exists and isn't going anywhere. Those airline seats and hotel rooms aren't going to sit empty. The price may fall, but tourists will take more trips when given discounts on the prices they're used to.

In general you can extend this reasoning to most of the pessimistic scenarios. First, real productive capacity will still be the same after the quarantine as it was before. Second, money spent in some sector isn't just going to get thrown into a hole if people stop consuming those products. One industry's loss is almost always another industry's gain. Finally, when demand contracts that means falling prices. When prices fall that enables new consumers and business models in the market.

It might not be "luck" but it certainly is privilege, I would call it "Economic/Wealth privilege". Which isn't to say it means purely rich vs poor, but it's much easier to be in an environment that fosters "knowing the right people" if you have economic privilege. Although not impossible, certainly unequal.
Wow Edwin, just wanted to thank you for replying. I'll email you latter.
You can't see your legs in VR (at least VR of today). This makes it quite dangerous to have uneven terrain. Even something as small as a carpet can throw you off. Especially as you tend to move in circles and backpedal a lot more than in real life. I guess it could work in a big roomscale space with perfect 1:1 matching (and visible feet).
Because it's too late. The time for that in the US was at least two weeks ago. This is why the US response to this has been driving so many of us crazy. The later you respond the fewer options you have.
TFA explicitly mentions some things you're talking about:

>Everyone is to work from home, or stop working, unless they provide an essential service, which includes health care workers; police, fire and other emergency responders; and utility providers such as electricians, plumbers, and sanitation workers.
This technique should be O(n) in every browser (where n is the size of the inserted tree), unless large parts of the tree are hidden with display:none.

After replaceChild(), the inserted tree must be analysed in context for CSS, layout and rendering. That will take O(n) unless parts can be skipped.

Do you mean that IE does a separate CSS or layout calculation for each node as they are inserted one by one?
