This is really interesting. Does it run nethack? I wonder if anyone has gotten something like frotz running, so we can have some good old interactive fiction.

Yeah, this change is easily worth something on the order of $20k this year and then $10k per year for the three following years for every engineer who wouldn't have otherwise achieved this rating. It's huge.

Interestingly, I assume they're doing this because it means they can skip the performance cycle entirely. That's a good way to save process. It's gonna harm some people who were on track to do better than exceeds, though. (On average it should help people.)
This isn't meant to diminish the plight of those suffering in America, but it takes approximately $32,000 to be in the top 1% for worldwide incomes. Much of America's poor are relatively wealthy when you consider the global scale.

I don't know that there's any object lesson in that, but it's worth remembering that most of us live positively enveloped in so much privilege that we take for granted how much more difficult the struggle could be.
My guess is that most of the damage is done and markets will remain volatile over the next few weeks. Once they start lifting these mandatory lockdowns, I'd predict that we will see fast upswings of stocks up to about 80% of what they were before, then return to gradual growth until the next major world event shakes things up.
Hopefully a beta in a few months. It will integrate closely with the Directory/SCIM services so we want to get that part right first.
The damage from airlines going under (to other sectors of the economy) is greater than bailouts. It would set off a chain reaction, the airline industry supports hotels (all the pilots and flight attendants stay at hotels) and tourism.

Interest rates are close to zero because everybody wants to save and nobody wants to borrow. It's the working of supply and demand.

Savers deserve nothing special. Nobody is owed a safe investment vehicle with a positive return. If the market dictates that you have to pay people to take your money and hold it for you, then that's how it should work.
Honestly what should we learn from people who are opposed to scientific reality?

The idea of using CO2 emissions control as a form of social control doesn't sound crazy at all to me. Without knowing anything else, I'd assume it was a valid concern at least worth discussing, and I'd assume that anyone unwilling to at discuss it reasonably is probably a malicious and dishonest person with selfish motives who should not be trusted.

Exactly. There is this strange "holier than thou" attitude from a lot of the anti-maksers. I think people are just upset they don't have them for themselves, and this is how it's expressed.
"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
Why not open source it? It's code that runs on my phone, not on their servers. I have no reason to download an app that could just be a well designed web site. It being closed source makes me very suspicious of it. What does GitHub have to hide? It's not like the app is some breakthrough innovation.
Websites are at least supposedly are sandboxed so they are not as much of a risk as running native binaries. But this is getting worse and worse though as browsers expose more and more of their host operating system's functionality. The benefits of using a website instead of a native app are quickly disappearing, while the drawbacks have only been somewhat mitigated. We're getting to the point where browsers are worthy of the decades old criticism Emacs has received. They have eventually become an OS with many fine features - simply lacking a good web browser. For the privacy (and security) conscious user, modern web technologies will undermine you every step of the way, or simply break if you choose to stand your ground.
Sorry about that, it should be fixed now. There isn't a paid version at the moment, but there's a web app at https://i.ntention.app . If you're on android, it should ask you if you want to add it to your home screen - if you do, it behaves very like an app.
How? GitHub itself isn't open-source.
This is awesome.

Who would have guessed of all the games I was playing in 1993 that ZZT would be the one where the creator went on to become a billionaire...
I think it's generally the case that taking pain killers isn't a fantastic idea when you have an infection. Of course, for mild infections there's little consequence, but in this case it might be best to avoid them. Just wrap up warm and stay hydrated.
I agree with what you've said here.

But, if there's no alternative to supporting creators (directors, actors, camera ops, costuming, set dec, etc) then I'm going to keep supporting them the standard way today.

But following the existing law doesn't mean that I can't also explore, create, advocate for _new_ technology that makes cutting out the middle man more feasible. Or heck, supporting new legislation that makes things better too.

I just don't believe that this current system is fundamentally evil, but rather just "less than great". Therefore I can't justify breaking the law in this case.
I'm not sure of your point here? Presumably Tesla's capital position is still significantly smaller than VW? I do not know this, though, as I am not as familiar with VW's capital structure.

TBH, I'm more worried about what will happen with Ford or GM if they have even a short outage. GM has massive ongoing obligations and a relatively weak balance sheet, afaik.
It may be the status quo, but since these powers were intended to be temporary, it is arguably relevant that they may finally be expiring. Many users here care about issues around surveillance and privacy.

Re: Common Dreams, HN guidelines don't limit sources by their political slant, as long as the article in question is interesting or relevant. Frankly I find this to be refreshing, since many places are dominated by articles from sources with a center-right slant.
Russia didn't fuel Brexit. There's a long history of skepticism towards the EU in Britain. The idea that Russia could move the needle on British public sentiment towards Europe to any measurable degree is crazy.

Hi HN! Today we launched the Covid-19 Mortality Quiz on https://coronaddicted.com. We used Chinese CDC and WHO published research to estimate mortality rates based on age, gender, and pre-existing conditions. We felt it was difficult to get an accurate sense of personal risk. We hope this website makes it easier.

> The price gouging laws allow prices to increase without limit to pay for increased wages or costs

Higher profits from gouging is what motivates people to increase the supply. Altruism only goes so far. Profit motive to provide needed supplies is far more effective.

Remove the profit motive, relying on the government and altruism, is a very poor substitute.
Then the airlines should have to borrow the money. We can not afford to have industries that are too big to fail that are not nationalized.
Do a Google search for "BPA toxic skin contact" (search terms you came up with) and be amazed at the wonder of modern search engines (which will return results from PubMed, Nature, and WebMD).

(edit) There is something telling about how three people have now downvoted my comment for not doing the work of pasting the links myself, but not a single person has bothered to provide the links themselves, which kind of demonstrates the problem with these comments: the comment I am responding to is undermining a well-researched notion--one that AFAIK no one questions, and for which it is trivial to find numerous articles and studies: that BPA is absorbed through the skin from receipts--with the moral equivalent of "citation needed"; that comment asking for a reference seriously took longer to type than finding the relevant articles would have, and yet in practice is asking other people to do that work, and so the work doesn't get done by anyone... but the comment itself sits there, making people who are less informed on the topic question the validity, as in "I dunno, this comment claims they hadn't heard that, and is demanding citations; if it were easy to find a citation they wouldn't be asking that, so I guess the thing they are poking at isn't actually true". If you want to downvote my response to that behavior--which is to point out that a Google search would have worked--but you aren't willing to actually do the work of providing the links yourself (or at least also downvoting the comment), you are just making yourself part of the problem of incentivizing leaving these misinformative comments :/.
Coronavirus cases have dropped in South Korea. What’s the secret to its success?
> "Weak companies (such as the airlines during the COVID-19 outbreak) need to be allowed to die"

its not like someone can just do an airline startup and flights are mandatory for a modern economy.
Why? Their assets will be bought up in bankruptcy by another company that has deeper stores, and the planes will continue flying. Shareholders will be wiped out, but that’s expected if the company you invest in doesn’t save for a rainy day, and returned all its profit to you instead. Moral hazard is real.
Possibly suggesting that countering terrorism was not the real goal.
> However, an economist might believe this is suboptimal because the $100 is just sitting there doing nothing rather than "circulating in the economy".

A short-sighted economist, maybe. What needs to circulate is goods and services, not money. If you have $100 in the bank (or stuffed in your mattress), that means you produced stuff worth $100 more in total than what you consumed. Those extra goods are already being put to productive use. If your savings stay safely locked away and out of circulation that just means prices will be a bit lower due to the decrease in the money supply, which benefits everyone else. And when you take that saved money and spend it later your prices will be a bit lower, too, which is your reward (interest) for basically letting everyone else borrow the value of your money for the time you had it out of circulation.

If you can take your savings and invest them in some venture likely to provide a real return—after factoring in inflation and overhead—that would obviously be better than just stuffing the money in your mattress. However, taking money out of circulation is still better for the economy as a whole than "investing" it in something that can be expected to lose value, because that would divert goods and services away from better investments. If the money supply were held constant than you could treat price inflation or deflation as indications that we need more or less targeted investment, respectively. Unfortunately that isn't the case, so we're missing a key economic signal.

Not because you what? If you use a mech keyboard, then this isn't a strong endorsement.

I've worked at home for many years. I also really enjoy cooking, and put a fair amount of effort into it. But that doesn't mean I don't like to go out to eat as well.

The CEOs will probably just take the money and use it for more stock buybacks and pay themselves bonuses. It's 2008 all over again.

Not really ironic in either way... Github's features themselves are not open-source, and not sure if their desktop apps are open either.

Most versions don't mean much on their face -- every project has a different definition and way of versioning (usually undefined and fairly arbitrary, or based on client feature requirement and need-to-deploy).

But 1.0 is special -- pretty much everyone agrees on its meaning: it's ready for others to use it, and I'm willing to stand by it.

Sub-1.0 is also special, and generally agreed upon -- no one should consider this production-ready, and I'm not ready to defend it.

As usual, that will depend a lot on your current typing technique and speed.

I learned touch typing on an electric typewriter at school decades ago so I don't really remember how it is to not know how to do it.

This is what I did to learn typing Dvorak well AFTER I left school:

- I used laminated piece of paper with the layout of the keyboard wedged between monitor and desk. This allowed me to see the keyboard layout without looking at the keyboard.

- I used programs to learn Dvorak

- I used metronome to learn to type constant stream of characters. Pressing shift registers as a single beat. This is not strictly necessary for typing speed but I really like the feel of producing characters this way. My colleagues say the sound is fantastic as if a machine was typing.

- I use only high quality mechanical keyboards with US international layout. I don't waste time on keyboards that have uneven action and don't register presses same way every time.
I truly hope your friend can figure out a way through this ... however isn't selling gift cards just kind of punting the problem down the road? If their customers buy gift cards now, and then return to use then in X weeks/months, wouldn't they just be working for "free" at that point (assuming all the funds from the gift cards were used to get them through the customer-less time)?
Make sure your fingers are warm... everyone types slower when your hands are cold.
Wasn't there some news days ago about a cyclist being on the suspect list of a burglary because he was cycling on the street next to a house and the app he was using was taking location data from Google?

US government could just order Google / Apple push an update to their OSes thereby making location data always on then gather the data and do contact tracing.

A lot of people would actually self-subscribe to a Google Contact Tracing app if they are instantly notified about crossing paths with an infected person.
Rocket uses three nightly features:

* proc_macro_hygiene - this feature lets you call procedural macros in more places than you can today. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54727#issuecomment-... might be a bit too in-the-weeds, but the TL;DR is that there seems to be a path forward for stabilizing what Rocket needs in a near-ish timeframe.

* proc_macro_diagnostics and proc_macro_span: these purely give Rocket better error messages in some situations. With the first thing stabilized, this could be dropped to get things compiling fully on stable, though diagnostics would regress from nightly.

In general, these last bits of things Rocket needs aren't changing a whole lot.

The numbers I ran for the UK put it at 12 years:

No. People in UK: ~66,000,000

Est. proportion of people who will get sick: 80%

Est. proportion of sick people who require intensive care: 5% (in Italy it's 10%)

So that's 60,000,0000.80.05 = 2,640,000

Number of ICU beds in the UK: ~4100 (90% occupied, but let's ignore that for now)

Length of time ICU required: at least 1 week (probably longer, but let's ignore that too)

So that's 2,640,000 / 4100 = 644 weeks or 12 years that we would need to spread the cases over in order to have enough capacity.
So instead of reducing hours without cutting pay, or even just finding ways to give parents more flexibility in their work arrangements, we increase the demand and thereby the cost of those services so those employed in less cushy/flexible industries have no recourse.

i agree with that, if it were determined by market forces. But, when the feds of the world are subsidizing low rates and flooding printing money to buy up bonds, that's not the workings of supply and demand.

I mean, it's like if you have a bananna stand, and the gov prints billions of dollars to buy banannas on the open market, and now you have to sell your bananas for 5c a piece.
Well yeah that's survivorship bias, many Americans die every day from direct results of poverty. Most Americans I know barely have their needs met, I've lost many friends to suicide and drug overdoses etc. Of course there are places that are still worse off, that doesn't excuse in any way the horrible inequalities in our current system. It would honestly only require simple things like m4a, higher min wage, to make life moderately livable for the working class. UBI would be a lot better. The only real argument against it is that it would cost rich people money.
Consumers are supposed to have 3-6 months cash on hand in case of a downturn otherwise they are irresponsible. Big business just has to turn to the Government. Airliners made $28 Billion in profits last year and held onto none of it. When do we hold these companies accountable?

For the record, I would bail these fuckers out, but it would come with some hefty costs. Loans at 12%, reserve requirements, no ability to carry forward losses, more leg room, emissions requirements, and no more share buy backs. You want to return money to investors, you do it through dividends.
What is this quote from?
This looks perfect for a project I've been planning for a while, but the way the pricing works seems dangerous to base a small company on. They're pricing it per minute per core (even if idle), as if it's a service - except that they're not providing the service, I am. I'd much rather pay a flat fee than never know how much I'll have to pay.

If they want to charge for use, fine, charge ACTIVE time, not UPtime. Running a single dual-core EC2 instance should be no different than running a 10-core dedicated server at 20% load.
