> To those who aren't aware of it, the reason someone thought to try this is that this type of drug has shown intermittent promise in treating viral infections for years.

No, the actual reason is that Chinese doctors noted a statistical abberation in their coronavirus patients: none of the patients had lupus. They called around and confirmed it, none of the hospitals had any patients with lupus. And the standard chinese treatment for lupus is... chloroquine.

https://www.jqknews.com/news/388543-The_novel_coronavirus_pn...

Chloroquine has proceeded from statistical anomaly, to successful case studies, to successful non-random trials, and now is in random trials. I'm not a doctor but I think there's a pretty good chance it'll be effective.

Yes, it is not officially approved yet, but it is being deployed in China, Korea, and other countries off-label. Right now there are no other options. I'd take chloroquine over nothing. Overall it is not pleasant but there are few dangerous side effects in the short term (retinopathy is a possible side effect if duration of treatment is on the order of months to years). It is an over-the-counter medication in a lot of the world, it is behind the counter in a lot of other places (including the UK).

(the US just likes making sure doctors get paid even if a medication is quite safe. There are a lot of medications like oral contraceptives that are routinely done over-the-counter in most other places that we insist are so wildly dangerous you couldn't begin and discontinue them if you noticed side effects. And on the flip side, there's lots of drugs like tylenol that we know to be horribly unsafe and yet they remain OTC anyway, or even in "abuse resistant" combination products. Chloroquine is a pretty standard antimalarial and places that have malaria don't think it's a big enough deal that you need a doctor to get it.)

Given the lack of other options, given the known nature of the drug, if I was in a hospital dying of COVID would I want to give it a shot? Yes. Same principle as experimental cancer drugs. Some chance is better than no chance.

Anyone we can treat with pharmaceutical interventions instead of ventilators frees up those ventilators for more critical patients. Even if they still have to remain under some degree of medical supervision, it frees up ICU beds.
Wow, they SAY they can keep up, that proves nothing.
Apple Watch and AirPods both launched after the Jobs era, and they're doing pretty well in their respective categories. I wouldn't bet against Apple on their product strategy with Cook running things, they're a lot doing more than just adding polish to what Jobs left them with.
if true, this is kind of sad. would it be so hard to make a "dev mode" where the device pretends to be severely thermally throttled, target that performance for development, and then let everyone who isn't a complete idiot enjoy the full performance of the hardware?

Netflix might have data centers that gets closer, but nothing will ever get as far reaching and close as P2P would. A residential building who are all watching the same movie would only have to download the movie from building <> internet once. Replicate this system on every level (local network <> building <> city <> country) and you get so much more bandwidth available.

Of course there are other considerations and we (humans) haven't worked as much on P2P as centralized systems, so only the future can tell us where the limit is.

I feel sure the vast majority of Police officers are doing upstanding work, so it's a matter of identifying and punishing the bad apples. Once a few have been targeted and made examples of, surely the rest of the bad apples will smarten up, or quit.

Without question, these officers should be charged with battery, kidnapping, planting false evidence, unlawful arrest, possession of drugs, etc. etc.

Minimum 5 years jail each, maybe 10.

It's not like they did any of this by accident. Yes, five to ten years in jail will ruin their lives, and it's important to remember they did it to themselves.

We place our trust in them, and they're caught on camera behaving like regular street thugs. This is utterly unacceptable and should be eliminated.
This law does not apply to queueing as encountered in routers. It assumes unbounded queues and a poisson arrival process (i.e. a memoryless channel); both assumptions don't hold for packet routers and senders using congestion control (TCP or otherwise).

There is, however, a high chance of encountering buffer bloat if countermeasures are not taken at the chokepoint:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

Modern cable modems, for example, are required to implement such countermeasures. My ISP is at over 90% capacity and round trip times are still mostly reasonable. (Bandwidth is atrocious, of course.)
It makes no difference whatsoever

An OS doesn't protect you from outside, it protects the system from apps and users

Imagine if your OS asked you if you would like to allocate a block of memory at address X everytime it does

That's what to a regular user the prompt means

They just click 'Yes Forever' and are done with it

But that's still an application settings, it has nothing to do with being an OS, browsers are mostly a system for distributing malware in the easiest of ways

At the cost of being as complex as a full OS, without any of the benefits

Wanna bet that if vendors started distributing naked browsers and the extra functionality (of course approved by W3C as standards) were bundled in plugins, which is entirely possible, half of those would linger there with zero downloads?

I think the obvious problem is that induction (which is what learning from data is), is simply only one tool in the huge space that is intelligence, and it will never be enough to emulate the skill of a human driver, which is more or less what is necessary for autonomy in an open environment.

This is completely unacceptable. If this happens tens of thousands will be dying on the streets and in hospital parking lots. Meanwhile other areas are able to suppress the virus, collectively buying ourselves time to develop therapeutics and vaccines. Major Asian countries are succeeding.
“Fish Day” at Kyiv-Antonov-2 Airport
I don't know about shakti, but kdb+/q has two different free versions. The 32-bit version is unlimited and you can use it for commercial stuff. The only restriction is that you can't run it on the cloud (whatever that means). The 64bit version is non-commercial and you must have an active internet connection to use it. In practice, I haven't found the 32bit version to be very limited, since you can still do IPC very easily.
Once ICUs are full, mortality will be much higher than 2%.
No, you would need to drink 25-30L of tonic water for a preventative dose. For malaria. Coronavirus dose for an acute infection will probably be even higher.

Quinine is super bitter, it doesn't take much for flavor use, and the stuff on the shelf is nowhere near the strength that would have been given for brits in tropical posts during those days.

Not on the desktop, but embedded still seems to be going linux's way. Why does the gpl license of the kernel matter ? Android gets along fine with everything other than the kernel being differently licensed. MS launched some linux distro for IoT stuff as well.
It used to be possible to determine the downlink capacity and even current usage with a DVB-C receiver and some Linux software, since DOCSIS is essentially just IP encapsulated in MPEG transport streams on a digital TV channel.

More recent versions of DOCSIS have moved away from that layer of backwards compatibility, so you would probably need some specialised equipment, if it is possible at all (I don't know at what layer exactly encryption happens).
I agree with the article entirely. Just the other day/week I was down voted for lamenting K8s and pointing out how dumb it is.

When I saw and read about unikernels a few years ago I knew they'd be the future. I've explained several times in the past: why did we create containers instead of working hard to make VMs better, lighter, faster? Now the time has come.

K8s will be dead in 3-4 years.

Low-end is still 2 cores, 4 GB of RAM, with integrated graphics.

A bit of that, and also probably a bit that their network needs and expectations, even when self-isolating, are lower than in the suburbs of tech-intensive Seattle.
There's some irony in using the phrase 'bad apples' because it comes from the idiom, "one bad apple spoils the barrel" which is about how rotting apples give off ethylene gas that causes other apples around them to rot faster.

Corrupt bad actors that can get away with what's described in the article exist in a culture that corrupts everyone else eventually leading to a situation where the only people willing to join or stay are 'bad apples' protected by a culture of other bad apples. When something is this bad you probably need large purges as opposed to firing a couple individuals.

I don't think you can do this from within, some serious restructuring or oversight has to happen from elsewhere.

I suspect in most organizations of people you have 10% that care about doing the right thing, 10% that will do bad things and 80% that will do either depending on who is around them.
No uBlock, no dev console, no network tab. Completely opaque. An install step just to order a pizza. Shareable URLs/deeplinks.

It's a freak of luck that we have the web, an app environment with a built-in dev console and actual customization. Just think how much it contrasts with the black box of native apps and with what large companies actually want. I'm in no rush to throw it away.
I kind of wish major browsers would show a banner asking to enable JS, like they did for Flash and Java. This would discourage developers from using JS unless they really need it, and they'll think about graceful degradation.

But browsers won't, because they have nothing to gain from it; and it would be way too confusing for many users.

Which is fine.
These numbers seem to roughly map DRM "security levels" and allowed resolution levels. Basically, on platforms that support hardware Widevine (or some other DRM product) ie. "strongest security", 1080p+ is allowed, as there is a low risk of the warez Scene™ being able to tap the decrypted media – HDMI splitters that can strip HDCP 2.2 are hard to come by.

On platforms with only software DRM (tl;dr an obfuscated binary blob distributed along your browser that does some form of AES decryption), only low resolution streams are available because there is a good chance some folks somewhere have tooling to intercept the decrypted media.
Also, the graphics from Italy, 5 days ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Is_COVID-19_like_a_flu%3F...

The x axis is a week number, the bars represent the numbers of cases and dead per week.

And now it's worse: they already have more dead than China has, and the increase of number of cases and dead still doesn't slow down enough, in spite of the measures that they started to apply (the lockdown of some areas since February 22, of the whole country since March 10).

Approximately the number of dead at the moment doubles every four days -- if that continues for only one month more there will be a half of million who have died, and then 4 days later, a million. That's how fast that goes.

Regarding the "we don't have data" claim: it can seem to be true only when the US intentionally ignores the information coming from the rest of the world. There are indeed countries that have made orders of magnitude more tests than the US (making the number of tests performed in the US mostly irrelevant for this discussion) and the resulting growth of numbers of cases and dead are very steadily independent of the number of tests done, which means that the only numbers that matter are the growth numbers, i.e. that the numbers of cases can't be an artifact of the measurements.

There is no indication whatsoever that the growth speed can change without applied measures.

The data is available, one just has to want to use it.

The problem is that most companies aren't going to tell you that their peering circuits are running hot or that their internal network or access layers to the end user are running warm at peak. ISPs all do stat muxing and the line is "we make money when customers don't use the service".

They'll be happy to deal with the last mile segment, but anything beyond that is murky and most companies I know aren't going to share much. Helps to have friends on the inside leak some graphs, though.
Ask HN: Quick Solution for Restaurants to Setup Online Ordering for Pickup
My family's restaurant is transitioning to pickup orders. We're looking for a simple way to setup order forms, take payments and manage pickups.

We've done this in the past via Stripe and a simple API but it's been a bit cumbersome and I was wondering if there's any other good solutions out there. Looking for:

1) Simple UI for the staff to change the menu daily

2) A way to accept payments (Stripe would be good since we're already setup)

3) A way to manage pickup orders, e.g guest notifications via email/text and track what order has been picked up.

I could probably handroll my own setup in a few hours, but I'm overwhelmed with my other job but any existing solutions would be good.

And, we've already signed up with some delivery food services but the signup is looking to be days and we'd like to be up and running by tomorrow morning.

Nothing serious unless you have an open cut and crush the plant or break the leaves. As long as you respect its integrity you could "pet it" gently perfectly.

Boy, "messy" data when performing initial experimental administration of a drug, during an outbreak with no officially approved treatment, with limited testing capacity.which is piling up bodies faster than mortuaries can cremate them. How shameful.

People are nitpicking. Yes, "we need further studies", that's at the end of literally every research paper ever, but the longer you delay the more people die.

It's no different than signing up for an experimental cancer drug. There are no alternatives that are known to work. You take the best shot with the possibility that looks promising right now. The alternative is dying without trying.

It's kind of a weirdly US-centric position, both from science fetishism and the fact that we're the the country with the fewest deaths so far. Oh golly gee I guess we better wait 18 months for a double-blind clinical trial and FDA approval and a Nature article. Other countries have the bodies piling up and they are pushing ahead, because a chance is better than no chance. Just like with cancer.
You will still get 4k resolution. Just at 25% less bitrate. But since the thing that's necessary to fulfill your contract is the number of pixels, which have not changed, you are out of luck, unless you find some clause in your contract with Netflix that guarantees a certain bitrate.
