Particularly if you prepend queries with try. jq likes to throw errors when unexpected things happen in your search or your data, and it may return "null". Using try instead returns an empty string.

When walking JSON structures to validate data I code each validation separately instead of burying them in blocks of if-then-else logic. I think this makes it easier to maintain and more obvious when dealing with data that for example may be in a list or an array of lists.

But yeah if you write golang scripts and want to shuffle data in and out of bash, jq is your #1 power tool.

I am not disputing whether Wuhan is the first major outbreak area. It is. But that is not the interesting part.

> Many viruses, bacteria, and other diseases are named for their place of origin.

This hasn’t been a thing for a long time. H1N1 is not called mexican flu. Ebola is not called congo disease. WHO officially designated Covid19 as the name. There is no reason for US officials to keep calling it china virus other than to stir up hate.

What bothers me more is that you are so focused on blaming China rather than on more productive things, like actually fighting the virus. The 2 months advance warning has been wasted on playing the blame game instead of ramping up production of medical equipment, or other preventative measures. Sigh.

> The consumption of these animals was implicated in the outbreak of SARS, and China did not put a stop to the practice.

Wildlife food is banned now.

> the Chinese government bears significant responsibility for the situation we're in.

What responsibility do you have in mind? Should China dissolve as a country? Should they pay reparations to everyone?

Is there legal precedence to this? How did Mexico and Congo take responsibility for swine flu and ebola? I am not aware of any precedence wrt reparations for a disease outbreak. Maybe you are?

But there is precedence for heavy reparations from a country as a general concept. Germany after WW1. The allied forces blamed everything on the Germans and exploited them. That generated resentment, leading to the rise of Hitler. We know the rest. The lesson here is that playing the blame game too heavily is a dangerous thing.

There is also an anti-reparations case study. Britain and other European powers exploited China in the 19th century. Literally forced the Chinese at gunpoint to become drug addicts. China never asked for reparations for those practices. They don’t blame foreigners, they blame themselves for being weak.

And can you guarantee that at no point in the future will there ever be a disease outbreak that originates from the US? How will you implement this guarantee?

In any case, China is sending aid to Iran, Italy, Spain, Japan and more.

Withholding help is not the same as killing. Not even in the same ballpark. Nobody is entitled to help from others.
"The Fed" refers to the Federal Reserve, not federal agencies, branches, or the government in general. Not to be confused with "feds," referring to federal agents individually or in general.

Also, the submission title is simply missing a word: the article uses "Federal government in talks [...]" which is a very conventional usage, whereas "Federal" as a standalone noun is considerably more rare.

> * Visiting the grocery store when few customers are there

This is becoming hard with a lot of grocery stores reducing their hours now. Our local store is only open 8-8 vs 24hours normally; I'd love to go around 10 or 11pm like we normally do.
They could make an app and work with Apple/Google to have it auto-installed, but where the app can be uninstalled by the user if they wish to opt out.
I think it outweighs the economic damage.

But aside from that, we need the capability to hit the pause button on the economy during similar future events. What if for example a more extreme one in the future threatened to kill 10% of the population and required a significantly longer lockdown. By having a dry-run (in comparison) now, we might be much more prepared.
My wife is a university professor and is being told she needs to record lectures going forward. I'm wondering how she can easily record a lecture video and then splice in powerpoint slides later. The best I can think is to record yourself on a computer, while flipping through slides on an iPad right next to your screen. Then afterward go through and take screenshots of the Powerpoint and insert them into the video (using iMovie?). This would probably take me 30 mins for a 45 min lecture, and I'm experienced with iMovie. If there are transitions to preserve, it would take much longer.

Are there other solutions? Seems like something that Zoom should be able to do — you share your screen and video your face on a recorded session. Then afterward you can go back and choose which stream (face or screen) is used at any given point in time.
A Defer Statement for C
Eh, not in the US. I bought a 10 pack of 3M N95s last April in anticipation of forest fires that had screwed up air quality the last two years. They were $40 for the 10, so roughly the price of a latte per day.

Fortunately, the fires didn't happen, so I now have 10 masks, but I have absolutely no idea when/how the right time to bring use them is, and I'm doubtful that 10 would make the difference (my local healthy community is currently well stocked even if there's no available at retail).

Also to those wondering, the CDC says that, when worn correctly and while limiting adjustments, N95 masks can last up to 8 hours of continuous use for disease prevention. So yes, it's basically a 1-a-day thing.

No, because people are irrational creatures and BS jobs exist for irrational reasons. A pandemic doesn't fundamentally change the qualities of an organization that permit BS jobs to exist.

Say you are having a pizza party, and you are cooking 12 pizzas, in your pizza oven, the fire alarm is going off, but you know there is no fire, and should there be a fire it is indistinguishable from the smoke pouring out of the oven.
lets say it is a fancy fire alarm which turns the oven off.

you could:

- Convince the fire alarm about the difference between pizza smoke, and fire smoke (somehow?).
- Call the fire department to come put out the fire so you can finish cooking your pizza.
- Disable it until you have finished cooking the pizzas.
- Have a pizzaless party.

Fire alarms have little to do with performance, and even though they have false positives we tolerate them due to the impact a false negative would have.
Keep in mind that medical supplies are almost never sold in single units. The 10,000 EUR list price is probably for a bulk package of units.

No, because the concept of BS jobs is largely BS.
I recall listening on the radio recently to an adult learner describing her positive online experience. She said (1) the collegiate atmosphere was what made it so "wonderful", aided by initial exercises they did which were about cooperating with other students; (2) she liked being able to fit in her learning around being a mother; and (3) doing peer assessment of other students' draft assignments really helped the students to bond.

I had a similar experience to point (3) when an online course I did included being given other students' short computer programs to comment on and make suggestions about.

The problem with the post-national view is that it has to be a consensus view globally. It's a classic prisoner's dilemma.

It has to begin with everyone respecting broadly the same general ethics and views on rights. As it turns out, there are countries where women aren't allowed to drive, where religious autocracies rule, where whole populations of religious minorities are imprisoned and enslaved and the people of those countries support it happily. Do you want people with those values having a say in how you live? I don't.

> The database was written back in the days of 16-bit computing, so naturally it had a limit of 32,767 bugs

I know it’s a nitpick; but no, that is not natural to me at all. You can’t have a negative bug or would store it in list with negative indices. So using signed makes no sense to me.

Sometimes I get really confused why signed shows up in places it doesn’t belong.
It is. I think this has something to do with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(law) or at least concept is similar. You cant intentionaly kill someone because he tries to rape you.
Sounds very cool. For the purposes of pricing, what are "enterprise users"?
I don't hear the words you hear. At the end, he says "of a plan to do something in a smaller way with a carbon tax"

As in, the $1k/month thing is too big, and he thinks we should consider doing something smaller. How much smaller? We don't know for sure, but I doubt economists would support a carbon tax that would approach the level of $1,000/mo for every adult in the US. The primary purpose is to internalize the externalities of pollution, not to generate revenue.

The fact that an economist thinks a concept is worth considering is a far cry from saying they are endorsing a specific instance of one of those things. It's one thing to say he endorsed the concept. It's another thing to say he endorsed the plan. He didn't.

I suggested something similar but based on using Bluetooth and running an app locally. This would be more sensitive to proximity while potentially giving away slightly less data about exactly where you are, and easier to opt out of, either temporarily (while at home say) or completely.

There could also be the option of logging nearby Bluetooth addresses locally only and looking up an online database of infected owners, or submitting collected data online to allow aggregation and preemptive notifications of potential exposure before symptoms show
FTA: "the official list price for a single valve is 10,000 euros"
The Wikipedia page says the author of the concept is a proponent of UBI and proposes it as a solution to this supposed problem. So you have to wonder at his motive for writing the book.

Combining Vue.js and Django – Everything you need to know
First, thank you. Now, I'll make cuts according to how people without means would.

Rent: There are studios and 1-bedrooms to be had. Depending on who your +1 is, share a bed or put someone on the couch. $3166->$1500-$2000

Health insurance: Hah. Order your meds from overseas and cross your fingers. Or go without. $600->$0-$200

Groceries: Everyone on HN keeps telling me healthy food is cheap, you just have to be responsible enough to cook. $400->$250-$300

Cell: Budget plan and wifi. $150->$50-$80

Cut a few bucks from electricity by being super thrifty on energy usage, and save a bit of that debt for your tax refund.

Looks like a few thousand dollars a month in "fat," and you still don't have creditors hounding you. Nice.

I'm not saying that it's ideal to make these kinds of cuts. In fact, in the richest country on the planet, it's practically unconscionable that someone would work full-time and not live with the kind of stability, if minor uncertainty, you currently enjoy. I'm just saying that some of us also dropped half their paycheck into rent, at a quarter the pay, and made due. Well, lost ~$150 a month.

With all due respect, there's zero chance I'd be irresponsible enough to be making 6 figures and still be living paycheck-to-paycheck. I say this not as an attack, but as a call for you to maybe interrogate and recalibrate your expectations for your spending and, by extension, your expectations for other people's spending.

So not only are we not expecting people to read the articles, we have to also expect them not to read to the end of the headline?

If the average reader doesn't even have the reading comprehension and attention span to read to the end of the headline, I don't think any amount of baby fooding of information is going to make any difference.
Fair comment really. People are taking the worst case and running with it. Really governments should have had more forethought to make preparations while things were still good. Attempting self sufficiency sounds more like a post apocalyptic requirement, which given the circumstance is an easy trap to fall into. Though there's always the blindspot: not all futures are predictable. Just that this one mostly was.

Yes a patent is nothing but a license.

You can't know that w/o seeing the valve and the patent.

But there are probably immunities or limitations of liability at play here based on the circumstances.

Generally, the medical device industry is cut throat and patent heavy. They patent every tweak they can to fend off competitors. It makes some sense because of the expense associated with bringing a medical device to market.
Yeah this is kinda how we got the Patriot Act.

By definition, you're the one with a narrow perspective -- your employees are all low-income workers in a rural town. The parent never said NOBODY is poor -- in fact, he specifically acknowledged that there are poor people. His claim was that he doubted that 78% of the American population is. Additionally, many (many, not ALL) who technically are "poor", still find money to purchase expensive electronics.

Great definitions. I would make a distinction between the measure of mutual information and the mutual information itself. The former is obviously not the same as the system effect itself. But the latter may be more related to your SC function.

You could not be more wrong.

When everyone gets $1000 for sitting on their ass, wages have nowhere to go but up. Why go to work for minimum/low wage, if basic needs are met? Wages go up + inputs go up --> end prices go up --> even the "vendor with the lowest price" is charging much more than before.
Its both. Scummy behavior is encouraged by the system but we also have special laws for profiting on a time of crisis.

Indeed, and it would set a precedent for other companies. They really don’t want that.
Its grounds for safe harbors that offer liability limitations or immunity due to the circumstances. (The EU probably has laws that do this, just like the US).

I doubt the medical device industry would exist w/o patent protection. It is just too expensive to bring products to market without the limited monopoly that patents provide. And you have to consider the potential for product liability lawsuits after products get to market. That has to be built into the price as well.

I'm a serious and honest simple man. :)
The problem is that values are not evenly distributed within a country. A nation is not a useful or even approximate proxy for values.

Most countries have a pretty big chunk of people in them that would be fine with a religious autocracy that enslaves those who don’t conform to the majority, the US included. It’s the same in every country.

There are, for example, a whole bunch of people in the US who are fine with some fiercely racist and inhumane federal policies, such as running concentration camps wherein many children are raped and otherwise sexually abused.

Do you want people with those values having a say in how you live? I don't.

Looking through the screencaps brings back a flood of memories. I remember playing a lot of DOS games where you had colored ASCII art and that was it. You really had to use your imagination to immerse yourself in the game and the default levels did a good job of conveying that.

Today's games look amazing. It's crazy to think that these text games could make you feel like you were in the game.
That depends on where you live. In many places, the law doesn't punish victims for self-defense. You certainly can kill a person who is attacking you. In a few places, notably Texas, it is legal to kill a person to stop a theft or to recover stolen property, as long as there is no non-lethal way to do so.
Some of the other people may have insightful, informative or otherwise useful things to say/show.
