This is partly an effect of cultural issues related to immunity and how it's perceived in most europe countries.

Even putting aside the whole deliberate sharing germs and force building body resistance, wearing a mask is seen as anti-social, somewhat selfish, weak and alarming.

People's reactions to a mask is really ranging from "you shouldn't wear it at all, we're among friends (at work)" to "if you're that ill you shouldn't get out of your home and take a sick leave". There few middle ground, accepting wearing a mask just in a case, or for some benign infection.

> If you are really going to reuse a 20 year old pin, you might as well disable pin security completely.

What a foolish statement. Having a pin at all prevents a whole lot of attack vectors, even if weak. Like someone at random picking up the phone and getting personal information off it from any app lacking secondary authentication.

Having a weak pin won’t protect you from someone actively seeking to attack you specifically (a targeted attack). But most crimes are crimes of opportunity, not targeted, and any pin at all reduces the opportunity.
As well as a few others:

Rick Scott and Lindsey Graham had announced they would self-quarantine, as well as the Miami Police Department’s entire motorcycle patrol unit that escorted Bolsonaro; the medical campus of Miami Dade College said it was shutting down “until further notice”— and questions arose whether President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, who spent time last weekend with Bolsonaro and the press secretary at Mar-a-Lago, should be tested for the virus.

I have to dive deeper into my aerospace history. Whenever I think I have an overview, something like this crops up.
In an era where people have demonstrated an inability to responsibly fact-check for themselves, I think it's actually an open question whether speculation is better than silence (depending on what forum one is operating in).
A lot of that can be attributed to the bullwhip effect. It is the effect that even small demand fluctuations down stream, e.g. consumers, in a supply chain can have on parties, and availability, up stream, e.g. manufacturers, suppliers, whole sellers and so on.

One of the reasons why panic, and the resulting changes in consumer demand for certain products, is so dangerous. Not because stores are running out of toilet paper, but because of the mid term effects this has on availability of all kinds of things. This effect is impossible to predict upfront.

So, yet another reason to stay calm and avoid this kind of stress on supply chains providing goods of daily need.

some facts for people new to him.

fact: he had the same campaign marketer that trump had. Remember Banon?

fact: he staged a hilariously fake assassination attempt during the last week before election to avoid debates.

fact: his neighbors (literally next door) killed a deputy councilwoman that was causing him political problems, in broad daylight with automatic weapons. he and his son called them on the day but both lied about it. the neighbors are locked up because there were too many cameras to deny, not they didn't try.

fact: he is campaigning to close the senate and superior courts, because they are "full of corruption"

now, brazil is gearing up for protests because march is a delicate time over there. the news machine is already full steam on this. the opposition is spreading memes about it being good that he will die from the virus, while his supporters (mostly evangelical Christians) are spreading countless though and prayers. every mass starts with a prayer, and praises, to him.

my guess: this is a self serving fake news, to both bolsonaro and trump.
Amabie: The Japanese Yokai That Can Stave Off Epidemics
The article mentioned that the operator has both hands tied up in order to control the craft, so there isn't much else they can do other than observe. Seems that could be taken care of these days by using computer controlled fly by wire.

The other big problem is high noise. So no that usable for reconnaissance. But with a half hour of flight time, and if it could be made to hold a couple passengers, it looks like something that would be useful for field evacuation use.
What the Hams are doing is radar jamming/interference; it’s not the ability to make the radar screen show whatever you’d like. That would be much, much, much more difficult (if it’s even possible).

As far as this sort of spoofing between nation-state actors, discussion is difficult because both the U.S. and Russia have been developing sophisticated ‘electronic countermeasures’ [1] for decades, and all their most interesting capabilities in this regard are certainly classified.

Thats why you can combine them with relational operators.
And then find sets of those combinables that can produce the desired output for most of the time.

That is ones library. It can be adapted to the task.
Well, there are potential issues with people repairing their own phones. They could use the wrong (or counterfeit) part and cause the phone to emit radiation that interferes with nearby communications. Or they could use the wrong (or counterfeit) battery or even damage the battery during replacement, potentially causing a fire hazard.

Here is a paper from clinicians:

"Breakthrough: Chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of COVID-19 associated pneumonia in clinical studies."

What China did there was they spent huge effort to find possible cures from existing drugs in the entire drug database known to mankind, herbal medicines included.

Safety is kind of validated because it's known drug, the dosage might be different but I am sure some were tested with high dosages too.

Why Soap Works
Indeed; the virus being reproduced is just a side effect of the cell making reproducing actions.

Cells can repeatedly produce certain proteins. For instance, a silkworm can spin out a thread of silk. That doesn't meant that molecules of silk are alive because they are reproducing.
> Two statistical dependent variables "can be made" independent, for example by feeding one into an PRNG

No statistical test can assure statistical independence for all possible cases. The very fact that you pipe it through a PRNG means the output is deterministically correlated with the input, because PRNGs are deterministic, and some statistical test will be able to detect it. At the base level, a test that tries every conceivable PRNG, for instance.
I think I misinterpreted your original statement. When you said "It's possible that the government had to make sure that the Coronavirus would take hold in the US first," I thought you meant "An agent of the US government literally dropped a vial of victim spit in JFK airport, 12-Monkeys style." Apologies if I misunderstood you.
Please stop calling it the Wuhan virus. It's well recognized that such terminology promotes discrimination (even if it's not intended to). The disease is COVID-19; the virus is SARS-CoV-2. Even if it's only for the sake of clarity, please use the correct terms.
Show HN: uPlot.js v1.0 – A fast, small chart for time series, OHLC and bars
Hello again!

5 months and ~400 commits since the initial prototype: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21207132

v1.0 has shipped! - https://github.com/leeoniya/uPlot

A non-exaustive list of features/concerns that have been addressed since v0.1.0:

- A terse, consistent API, (w/ plugins & hooks)
- Timezone & DST handling
- Point rendering
- Bi-directional zooming
- Dynamic data updates (streaming)
- Numeric x scales (non-temporal)
- Area fills & high/low bands
- Dependent scales (°C -> °F)
- Cursor sync across charts
- Highlight closest series
- Axis labeling & positioning
- Bars & OHLC (via tiny plugins)
- Feature gates for even smaller custom builds

A bunch of demos: https://leeoniya.github.io/uPlot/demos/index.html

About a dozen brave early adopters helped me weed out bugs, add features, refine the API and contributed demo code. Without them there'd be no v1.0, so thank you. So far there are some cool use-cases. One user renders several hundred hundred-point charts per page - something that's impossible with WebGL or heavier charting libs. There's been a prototype for Grafana panel integration. The author of Phaser [1] is currently taking uPlot for a perf-monitoring test drive while working on the new engine: https://github.com/phaserjs/phaser4-dev :D

Also, a shout out to the Chart.js guys, who recently tagged v3.0-alpha which performs 3x better than v2 on uPlot's benchmark, and is the only lib to have made any noticeable headway, let alone multiple factor!

cheers!

That was one of the stated purposes. They thought that they would be able to communicate with deeply submerged submarines with something more than 3 letter codes using ELF. They also thought they would be able to communicate further distances by reflecting the signals off of the ionosphere. They also thought they could disrupt warheads on re-entry. There was a lot of ideas about this place. I guess when you are getting the government to fund such a project it's going to need a lot of things it can pivot to when the original idea fails.
The Prime Minister of Canada's wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau tested positive as well. Both her and the PM are now in isolation.

Well, I mean she's kept things under control. I don't know if she (a nutritionist/dietician by training) would recommend radical diet changes while on dialysis.

Also, your comment made it seem like diet change is a silver bullet, when it is not. My relative has had a couple of times where she's had to use medicine to keep her kidneys from going non-functional.

I'm aware that you might not have intended it to frame diet change, but that's how it comes off.

Yes, it takes longer. But it happens while I'm sleeping, and requires no special trip. I do think swapping batteries will be the sensible way to handle this when we're also swapping cars, or when the cars drive us, unless charging times come way down.
It is literally not a fact that he staged a "hilariously fake assassination attempt".

Trying to work out what I'd want in a first pass. At an absolute minimum:

* A commitment and ability to update any critical security issues for a specified amount of time

* Standardised mechanisms for reporting critical updates to users which are not used for marketing

* A basic checklist of best practice for internal self-audit (SQL injection, plaintext data, enumeration attacks)

A low bar, but still far better than what we've currently got. (External audits are probably silver tier?)
For "degrees of freedom" substitute "density of energetically available states." We're taking some states off the table, we have to explain whether there are measurable consequences.

I don't understand superdeterminism and I'm not qualified to dismiss it.
Don't try too hard with a vision and mission statement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Kevin_Turner is the guy but it doesn't give any mention as to why I (and many of my peers) believe that his tenure as Walmart CIO had a strong negative influence on ISDs trajectory.

I don't have much time right now, but I'll share a moment when I saw him interacting with some people during a crisis.

We got hit really hard with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Red_(computer_worm) even though only a minority of our systems were running Windows at the time. There were, at the time, a pair of Windows servers in each store, and each store was connected via a 56k frame relay circuit to the home office, along with a modem connected to a standard phone line for dial backup in case that was down.

Anyway, Code Red rapidly spread through all of these servers, and together they created enough traffic to basically bring down the frame relay network. We were, at the time, slightly over-subscribed at the T1 termination points, so if most of the stores on a termination leg maxed out their individual 56k links at the same time, the whole leg would be effectively down.

(Apologies for the unexpected dive into old networking stuff...it kind of just came out. :)

So most of our stores were down hard, meaning that most card transactions would not work. There was a facility to allow credit cards to go through without verification with a relatively low charge ceiling. But especially back then most transactions were NOT credit, and so weren't working.

This was a bad, bad situation, and it persisted for a number of days. It might have garnered some national news attention.

There were a number of war rooms going on. My team was in one, and we were working towards a solution by using a transient dial backup connection to reach into the store router and apply a draconian ACL.

ANYway, back to Kevin Turner. We saw him talking to a group of VPs and directors outside of our war room. He dismissed most of them, except for one, with whom he continued to have a very heated conversation.

Turner was definitely the aggressor; he got closer and closer to this person, got louder and louder. He ended up backing him against a wall and shouting in his face for a few minutes before walking away, jabbing his finger in his chest.

Just one story. We didn't like KT very much.
I'm just guessing for the U.S., but we could get that bad here.

I wasn't at my system when I wrote that and just checked (5 is way off the mark there). Should have followed my own advice and not used GitHub's counters :P

The counter reports 1.2%, but if you click on that to show Assembly files it only reported 5 code results (it's not actually showing all Assembly, so you then have to click on "Unix Assembly" on the side).
Yeah I was curious to have his answer explored further.
Random note: every few years I update a list [0] of popular programming subreddits (by subscriber count) on the /r/programming wiki. Over the last two years, C increased in popularity overtaking Ruby. And C++ increased in popularity overtaking PHP.

Rust, TypeScript, and Dart made big gains as might be expected. Swift didn't really move anywhere.

The biggest surprise for me were how much the interest in C and C++ continues to grow relative to other high-level languages (that probably also have greater number of professional users).

>This seems to be more of a cultural problem, possibly with a side order of exploiting vulnerable targets in dubiously ethical ways, than a technical problem.

That's exactly what I've said on my previous comment:

>The culture fabricated by those very corporations
It seems you are working on a different set of constraints than the author's. The author was talking about making games. Those are generally proprietary, and even the free one almost always have binary distributions. Rust itself likely have a binary package for your development platform of choice.

Likewise, cross compilation is likely not a problem. You don't develop on the PS4 or Switch, you develop for them. Sure, in practice, cross compilation in C and C++ is indeed a problem. I'm wondering to this day how that's even a topic. A compiler is just a goddamn translator, the target platform should naturally be independent from the source platform. Worst case, you need to recompile the standard library for the new platform. (I suspect this is related to the bewildering difficulty of linking libc statically.)

You do have a point, but it's much broader and much stronger than choosing C over Rust. We spend heaps and heaps of code solving problems that could be avoided in the first place. Niklaus Wirth's Oberon operating system required less than 10,000 lines of code, and now we need like 200 million lines?! No way we now have 20,000 times the functionality, so we can guess that current computing systems are at least 100 times too big (that is, comprised of over 99% accidental complexity, Brooks be damned).

I sometimes feel the only way to make software truly Free and Accessible (meaning, people have the right and the means and the ability to use & modify their software), is to remake everything from scratch, with the benefit of hindsight.
I've run Rust on a Nintendo 64 with no C and the same amount of asm you'd need in a C codebase.

"should be"? I can see how it's more expensive now. But I think that as a collective having things repaired is preferred.

For most manufactures the incentives now is to minimize repairability. Increasing the repair cost.

Having some regulation in place to limit repairability prevention may tip the scale a bit towards repairing.
Not in this case. What’s there to be gained?

If it goes badly he will be dead. You can’t hide that. If it goes well and he recovers in a few weeks he will still need to be quarantined for those few weeks. So you wouldn’t really see him or anyone around him so people will automatically assume he has contracted it. Especially since he was known to have been hanging out with several people who have now tested positive.

So lying about the Presidents health may be a good idea in certain situations. It almost certainly isn’t in this specific situation.

Edit: Also, if he lies about it, the hundred of people who have been around him might not take the actions they need to and continue making things worse fornthemselves and those around them.

I think people are being pretty cynical about this.

In my experience, there's usually a few good senior people to learn from, unless you've joined a truly terrible company where everyone good has either left or burnt out.

However, it's almost always good senior people working against the system to help juniors, not the system supporting any meaningful mentorship (except through a bunch of box-ticking bullshit to burden everyone with).
You might end up being morbidly fascinated. Honestly, how did these people get to be this way? Stay tuned to find out...

That doesn't seem like it could be a worst-case scenario, because it doesn't appear to be attributing any deaths to the complete meltdown of hospital infrastructure that it suggests would be happening in this scenario. (There are around 300k available hospital beds in the US.)
I would be totally fine with the comment section being split in two, the main section being on-topic and a bottom section for related but less core discussion. I doubt many on HN would like the idea though.
Not sure what to tell you if you're convinced I'm lying.

The latter half of your argument I find strange. It is arguning against APL/J/K using a C example. Mimicking this tactic, I could argue that C is completely unreadable because it indents things at so many different levels. If my x86 assembly did that it would be a huge mess and hard to follow.

The languages are just so different that the syntax of one offers properties completely alien to the other, "What is this weird x=2 syntax? I just want 2 in my rax register and C doesn't let me do that?!"

Part of the issue with APL/J/K is that to understand some of the coolness, you really do just need to trust the evangelizers and drink the koolaid. Maybe you'll end up thinking we're all just loonies, but if you give it an honest try, I suspect something will click and you'll see the point we're trying to make.
My guess is this could be because of the rates of change. Azure today may have significantly diverged from last year. K8s and the like including a churn of their own.
