Here is what our developers said a week ago:

Hi. I learned logs of your meeting where there were problems with peer connections. I couldn't reproduce the bug in real-time for now, I'll continue to debug tomorrow. Some conclusions:
- problems with peer connection were happening between Firefox <-> Safari ("Mikki" was using Firefox);
- first time (on the beginning of meeting) bug was caused by error In Safari while adding video to peer connection - this interrupted negotiation process: Failed to execute 'setLocalDescription' on 'RTCPeerConnection': Failed to set local offer sdp: Failed to set local video description recv parameters
So, Firefox-user didn't receive any video from two Safari users. I googled error, there are very few explanations like a problem with codecs, but I think the bug depends on who was the initiator of peer connection as next time (after reconnections) this error wasn't happening (the similar bug is between Chrome and Firefox).
- the second time, the bug was happening only between Firefox (Mikki) and Mobile Safari (Alexandra). This case is less clear for me as the negotiating process wasn't interrupted, but peer connection between these users was failing int several seconds after it was established.
Admittedly, the place where those settings are (and how they can be changed) is not terribly intuitive, either. It's just that it has been that way since at least Windows 3, so you (and many others) are probably used to it by now, while others don't even know this exists. I mean, how many people actually look into the system menu of an application?
That news about him trying to buy exclusive from the German company was false news and even the company itself put out a statement that it’s false and it never happened. Media very conveniently didn’t report the correction.
Ah, yes, she exists...

I think she is just half bad and predictable but I don't think it is the best argument for the condition of the commission.

This XY vs Trump shit isn't very convincing and I do believe that it is pretty though for people really caring about politics.

The cureVac thing is suspicious as there are conflicting reports.
Does Quicktime save as compressed MP4? Last time I used it for a 30 minute video it saved as uncompressed mov by default. I was not impressed, and while I know how to re-encode, most people don't.
Oh, how that minority harassment and bashing here is so typical of Mozilla's extremist-users-news...

Mozilla-new has turned into a fully anti-customization/choice and anti-politically-moderates and conservatives hating "progressive/leftist developer” – as that would (at least also theoretically)
appeal to the majority of Google Chrome users - which have because of their ideology and believe much less tolerance and understanding for everything which provides choice - and everything which is more conservative aligned. Mozilla-new has fully turned into a sell-out company which just betrayed their own creation and origin user-base as it was not compatible with “leftist/progressive visions/ideas” and their more limited/restricting/intolerant world-view!

Mozilla is supporting a clear discriminating concept - which is while nicely wrapped as "inclusive and socially correct" fully excluding a minority who also has rights - the group of users who are sitting in the already mentioned middle-ground/moderate-conservative-ground and do not like that everything gets intentionally dumbed-down or removed to put everything out of the way for a clear intolerant and aggressive/dismissive user group - which Mozilla wants on board.

And that is in the end the ultimate dirty reason why people and software which are sticking out from the crowd do get so much despised and demonized - or even receiving threats (Classic add-on archive) or monitored and even the smallest mistake is recorded and used in time to blacklist the projects or people which refuse to play the established and discriminating
game of today.
How about an external keyboard to alleviate the problems though.
The article has charts, and from it the ratio had been 18 times as much silver for gold in weight up until 1875. The article also mentions it was 2.5x in 3100 BCE, 13.33x in 560 BCE, 10.5x in 300 AD and so on.

The real change starts 1875 where it starts to rise and vibrate between 20x to 100x, trendline inclined at maybe 20x per century. And yesterday's peak was at 123.78x. Maybe I could say the human population is 5000 years high as well, except dips in population is much shallower than for this.
I hope you realize that you think you have figured out something that markets don't. Markets see decades of low inflation.

Central banks know how to stop inflation, that's not a problem for them at all.
The problem for the next 10 years will be low inflation, not large inflation.

Mostly seconded.

Short papers are just fine. Long documents, as long as you read them mostly sequentially, are IMHO just fine as well. But trying to read something where you need to flip around a lot is painful.

One of the use cases I had in mind when buying rM was reading stuff like IEEE 802 standards, programming language standards, hardware references, etc. But with these documents, the table of contents itself can have 10s of pages. The tools for searching and moving around are there, but the high latency of the e-ink makes them frustrating to use. And hyperlinks in PDFs are not active. And you can't bookmark something to create your personal collection of pages that you often need, which would somewhat alleviate the abovementioned frustration.

I use rM daily, but just not for reading manuals. It's just not a good use case for the device.
The funny thing is you can scale Dynamo up all you want. It’s the scale-downs that are throttled.

I cannot go outside for a walk. We are on state of alarm and the army is on the streets controlling that no one goes out to stop a pandemic that is killing many people and will kill many more.
Well I don't see why the fact it uses a fast.ai model is particularly relevant for the name.

I personally find the JSON configuration paradigm to be immensely usable, at least when it's done in a schema/UI-assisted way (which is how vscode did it). I'm glad Microsoft is picking it up in their other software and I wish more software did it.

Gold has utility as well: it’s highly conductive, doesn’t oxidize easily, is hypoallergenic, malleable, etc.

Napkin math tells me that over 50 tons of gold have been used just in iPhones over the past 13 years. Just like any commodity - if there is demand, there is probably value.
Ask HN: Why no oxygen generator or oxygen electrolysis projects?
There seem to be heaps of focus on hacking together ventilators (perhaps of questionable value without nurses and support to use them.) Yet I’ve seen zero solutions for generating oxygen, which surely would be useful if we have too many respiratory patients...

And to extract any of that utility, you need an industrial economy. People buy gold when they begin to question the longevity of such an economy.
A year ago gold was around $1300/oz and silver around $15, both started inflating when the trade tariff war (US/China) kicked off.

> I’m pretty sure the terminal app was advertised as the next generation console experience for Windows, which means it is going to replace cmd, and will be used by non-power users.

I'd love to hear a legit day-to-day use case, though. I'm honestly very curious to hear about that since even as a developer, I pretty much never use the command line (outside of WSL, which I don't consider a typical use-case either).
If that happens, then the government will take money out of circulation. Right now the Fed is printing money to buy assets. When they need to reverse it, they sell the assets, and then remove the money they make from circulation.
A real smart crank is aware of this and because he only spends time on cranking this was the riddle he made. Not many academics would be confident enough to call this man on his bullshit.

For years on and on financial advisors tell me not to invest in Gold. And on every '5 year time block' i have seen Gold outperform every other thing of value. The other thing with Gold, is it gives you peace of mind; not having to monitor your portfolio every often.
It might when the economy completely collapses after people are forced out of work for weeks on end.
You could also take the view that trying to mitigate economic collapse by printing obscene amounts of money is something that failed states do because they have no other options. The correlation between hyper-inflation and regime change is very strong but the sample size is limited so we can't infer all that much bout the order of causation.

I personally prefer Octodroid. When last I used Fasthub, it felt more ~~polished~~ snazzy but in terms of actually use there was just way too much navigation chrome on the screen.

In this thread, there is an ongoing hackathon https://www.hackcrisis.com/ (until this weekend).
I disagree. That's exactly the point: If you practice to achieve a constant typing rate (and start slow!) there will be no hard combinations anymore.

In fact it's exactly because of these "hard combinations" why your overall speed is slow, because you can't keep the high pace of the rest. So you have to master them first.

It's pretty much the same if you e.g. learn guitar: If you play a scale of notes you want to play it nice and smooth and not suddenly slow down at the hard part. If you can't play it smooth you're practicing to fast, so slow down until you mastered it.
And the depression he's worried about comes after a recovery from the current crises.

I wish I had those predictive powers.

The problem with silver is it's not a currency it used to be, it's just a cheap metal nowadays.
> The obvious solution is to stop breeding and hunting animals for food, period.

As with most things, the "obvious solution" is the naive and wrong solution. Sadly, that type of shallow thinking is prevalent in vegan cultism.

> No more coronas, bird flus, swine flus, mad cows, salmonellas, etc.

And no humans and no human civilization... Besides, the human population has grown 3000% the past few centuries. Far more people have benefited from meat than have been hurt by it. It's why pretty much every society on earth consumes meat.

Also, technically, if "No more coronas, bird flus, swine flus, mad cows, salmonellas, etc." is what you want, we'd either have to completely cordone humanity from nature altogether or we'd have to wipe out all animals. Most zoonotic diseases aren't transmitted via meat, it's transmitted by air, spit or bites ( from animals ). So no more hiking, parks, etc? Humans also get zoonotic diseases from pets, should we ban dogs,cats,etc?
Silver is unproductive and speculative. It is just as volatile as any single investment, and there is even less guarantee of it remaining stable as with gold.

To actually hedge against the breakdown of societies, cigarettes are probably more attractive.
Ask HN: Why is desktop voice control so bad and how could it be improved?
>But what's the point? By claiming moral high ground the argument goes nowhere.

The point is that, apparently, you think "meddling in a Civil War" and harvesting organs from prisoners are morally equivalent. I'm not even sure what to say about that.

I can tolerate some inter-nation sabre-rattling, spying, hacking, propaganda, election meddling, maybe even the odd annexation or assassination. Although they are not necessarily things I would approve of, I consider them politics.

Max returns a string with an infinite number of U+1FFFFs for an empty collection. True story.
OK, now I am really confused...

I can, right now, launch 4 different "terminals" in windows:

> cmd -- gives me the old dos-like command line
> wsl -- linux bash shell, which distro.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> ubuntu -- ubuntu distribution, "on-top" of wsl?
> powershell -- new microsoft command line

Now, there's a "windows terminal"??? I don't get it. Is it supposed to be a "terminal emulator" like putty or terminus that can use any of the above 4? Does it emulate a VT100? with mouse?

This is confusing, how do these 5 things fit together?

Yes, this is a risk and it makes sense. During the great depression, there were significant decreases in inflation[1]. But what am I risking? I might lose 50% of the few thousand dollars I put into silver, but it protects me against unexpected movements or a dollar crash during an unparalleled period of time in modern history. It ensures I'll have money to eat.

Bismuth is priced at $.39 per gram, copper at $.0074. I would bet gold would end up somewhere in that range or so as opposed to the $48 per gram it's at now.

Yes, Windows terminal can run any of those shells.

Shell = interactive program.

Terminal = thing that displays a shell and sends input to it.
You can also swipe in from the right edge of your trackpad and then pull the notification pane down. Much like the hidden search in iOS.
it's a window that you can use cmd or powershell in.
Yes you are, the company has given up a bunch of cash which could have been used to hire staff, buy capital and so on, so again if the stock price is correct they have decided to forego some profits due to the buyback, and it should cancel out.
> That sounds pretty hard / impossible to do.

Why do you think that?

This is how most compilers used to work.

And languages like Pascal were specifically designed to be able to be compiled in a mostly single pass.

Look up ‘syntax directed translation’ in an old compiler textbook.
Right, but this library is designed only to be used with a fast.ai model (and the hope is that fast.ai practitioners will find it helpful). I suppose you could create your own backend that worked with another library if you wanted to take the time, but that's not how it's designed.

EDIT: Regardless, I've updated some of the language on the readme to be more clear that this is not an official fast.ai product (and made it more clear in the header that it uses fast.ai models), because I do think your criticism had some validity and I really do appreciate the feedback.
Here is the link to the report itself - https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/s...

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-ana...

The report is published on March 16th. However, US and UK government started taking action on the first week of March, so I am not sure how the story says this report led "U.S" and "U.K" to take action.
I think it is safe to call it COVID-19 instead of "New coronavirus" by now.
I mean it's a 0.1 preview release. Setting UI is just one the things I would expect to be unfinished or not done.
And historically the amount mined somewhat depended on the price so, as with fiat currency, there was at least some feedback mechanism on the price. Though if you discover a new source it can be bad, see the price revolution[1].

This really just shows how precious metals (except for gold) have been abandoned as major financial instruments.

There's just no demand for them as a trading instrument anymore, but gold is still used.

Eventually, sure. It's very much a power-user-focussed preview today, though.

"Gold is now valued only as a shared fiction."

Every Fiat currency is a 'shared fiction'.

Currency is a social contract.

Then, if we all agree that Gold is a currency, then it has value in that regard, and since it always has been a currency across pretty much all cultures, across all time, it remains a form of rough currency.

If 'civilization fell apart' (and it won't) we would still need currency and if anything it would probably be gold.
