Why didn’t the hospital system collapse because of the flu?
Probably giving myself way too much credit even with the 30%. It's this paper [1] that I've struggled with for years. There is some intuitive part of my brain saying that there's something awesome happening here, but I can't quite understand it. The object model is pretty much the only part I do understand. Would love to have someone explain this all to me like I'm 5.

In February 2020, ESET released the KR00K - CVE-2019-15126 SERIOUS VULNERABILITY DEEP INSIDE YOUR WI-FI ENCRYPTION research. Based on this research, the Hexway team created and published a PoC exploit of the kr00k attack. (https://hexway.io/research/r00kie-kr00kie/#description)
I’m looking forward to reading this paper. I feel like I’ve found my kind of people. I’ve had this half baked idea about how people should be able to see what’s going on in their computer, and trying to picture what that would look like. At the simplest level it’s the difference between seeing a trace of what the computer is doing when it boots up vs being shown a pretty screen which freezes up. Another is just the way so many software products are like “let us worry about the details”. I want to be able see everything from the bytes in memory to what’s going on in every level of the system and want a user interface that lets people do that.
Ask HN: Does having some stress make jokes funnier?
I've really enjoyed some comedy in the last month, particularly laughing harder and laughing out loud while on my own. and I've known about Covid-19 and it's been on my mind a lot.

I'm wondering if there's a connection. Does a level of stress/preoccupation with something mean the effect of a punchline is a greater mental release of some kind?
People need purpose to find fulfillment. Free money does not give one purpose or meaning. That's what I took GP to be saying
When you start shipping private keys alarm bells ought to go off in your head. "The whole point of this cryptosystem I'm using is that these keys never go anywhere, but somehow I've persuaded myself that I need to move them over the network so I screwed up badly somewhere".

This is the same in TLS setups (including OpenVPN) and in S/MIME (where it's a reminder that S/MIME probably is only delivering theatre and not any real security to your users).
I have the feeling that this article is gonna be deleted from medium for including the f word.

Microsoft Won’t Stop Nagging Users, Even After 1B Devices Accomplished
I don’t really get this.

The media industry collectively thinks what they make is worth the collective cost of all their streaming services (probably hundreds of dollars a month).

They’ve spent BILLIONS making the movies that make up these catalogs.

And before you say “well they already made it back” let me remind you we’re on a tech forum, what industry makes the most money from “selling the same experience over and over again until your margins are nutty”

You feel you have the right to watch EVERYTHING they make, a subset of a few lifetimes of content just won’t do for the modern man.

So instead of sticking it to them and not buying into their game until they’re forced to reform...

you go and spend time illegally downloading their movies so that instead of getting the message “we don’t make stuff good enough to justify it’s price”, they get the message “we’re doing so well that people are stealing our content, go lobby for copyright laws harder or something Legal”.

Because more media than people who spent 100s of dollars to experience not that long ago is not ok, you need to have ALL of it. And if they don’t feel it’s in their best interests, you’re going to steal it

(and yes, it’s stealing enough with the “but I didn’t take the original”, why don’t you go copy all your employer's IP and post it on pastebin then tell the cops you just made a copy”)

-

I personally pay for like, 2 services?

There is A LOT of media on there. For 30$ a month I’m getting access to more shoes and movies than cable would provide for 100s of dollars once upon a time. More than any sane person could watch in one lifetime.

Sometimes I have to forgo watching something because it’s not on the service I want. I don’t bother going to steal it. Once upon a time I was a kid with no money and no job, less impulse control and much more time to waste, so I would, let me not pretend I’ve never done it....

But now I’m an adult, I can decide not to watch something and watch something else if I feel it’s not worth my money.

If there’s a movie worth enough to me I can usually pay for access to it specifically (one off payment before someone starts waving the subscriptions are murder stick... on a tech forum).

But that’s actually never happened. Because there’s so much content there, unless you have this mentality of “I must have it all, I deserve it all, nothing less will do” I don’t see how 50$ a month of services (your cutoff) would not be enough.
I seem to post this everywhere, but the flatten the curve math doesn't work. There's very little excess capacity in the system and in a scenario where half the country is infect about 1% of people would get care. Even if we perfectly flattened it over the rest of the year.
Probably because it's from a visual designer's perspective. There is nothing in the article about prototyping. It was focused on layout and developer hand-off. Framer is behind on those fronts, but they have a pretty different paradigm.

The math there doesn't work out. There aren't magically 100 more shares. Either the stock has to split (reducing the value of each share by half) or there are enough shares withstanding to sell.
Isn't that the biggest goal right now? Maintaining a healthy banking and housing system by subsidizing rent, mortgages, debt payments etc? $1000 a month doesn't seem like a stimulus, it seems like a bridge to the other side.
> Hasn't Wine been good enough for at least 10+ years?

Depends on what you mean by "good enough". Wine is an incredible project that has achieved amazing successes, but it still falls short in a lot of ways.
You are right, there are people who cannot operate on their own, and I have decided that you are one of them. So I will tell you where to live, I will tell you what to eat, I will tell you what to wear. Go on, dance like a monkey for me and my superior friends.

Dunkirk spirit? ‘Essential services’ will now be redefined
The question opens up other questions exactly like you mentioned.
For eg: If it was never about the price point, and more about it being available on a single platform, would you be fine with paying a very high subscription fee for a platform which holds all the catalogues?

Let me be clear, I torrent things too, but I've never really had an answer to the piracy question. I wouldnt just want to blame it on all the studios seperating out the catalogues into their own service.
RT-PCR tests only show who has it now not who has had it before, we need antibody tests for that. We won’t know if it’s been going around undetected until we get that.
They got first to space, but people were starving, healthcare was shit, there were no freedom (including no freedom of moving within USSR), and generally quality of life was very poor. Hardly an achievement.

If these rocket engines are cheaper, why not buy something from someone who is producing them below production cost? Good for US, they save money.
First thought: "more chickpea pasta for me! Yum."

Which tells you how sick our economy is. A virus is spreading which causes people to, no fault of their own, to lose their jobs, homes and go into starvation. Governments around the world are spending billions and trillions to prop up failing stock markets but almost nothing to provide for real people in real need.
Supporting and using Git forges that support decentralized development, such as Pagure[0], would be a good way to do so.

Pagure supports submitting pull requests with Git repos on any server (regardless of whether it's running Pagure or not) with its remote pull requests feature. Issues, docs, and pull request metadata are all stored as git repos using JSON files as data, making it easy and portable to other Pagure instances and easy to convert for any other system.

As far as I know, Pagure is now the only Git forge software packaged in all major Linux distributions (Fedora+EPEL[1], openSUSE[2], Mageia[3], Debian[4], Ubuntu[5], Arch Linux AUR[6]).

It'd be nice to see people interested in this helping to build a future supporting portable, decentralized development.

It can be even more stupid than that. In France, where we have same sort of law, you have to pay it also if you are a business...

You can get the tax back, but you have to jump through a lot of hoop holes, and so not a lot of business do it.

A list of resources for finding Product Market Fit
I’m still pretty scornful. There’s an existing satisfactory and easy to manufacture design (Manley ventilator) that addresses issues of controlling tidal volume and operating on whatever supply and even allowing manual operation. DIY could make thousands in a cottage industry if desired. Here we are instead with people designing devices and then asking for doctors to give them a pat on the back.
Never were fine in Australia. Half of the Dr. Who were absent because of "legal reasons". I can't recall now (I don't have subscription for almost 3 years) but there were bunch of TV shows I wanted to binge and they were unavailable or partially available. Big Bang Theory never were on Netflix IIRC, I had to pay for one of the seasons. I don't think anything from HBO is there and so on.

I'm not playing those games, I can torrent whatever I want to seen in better quality - with subtitles in variety of languages, HD or SD, some number of audio tracks with different translations if I wish (even though I don't need it after leaving in English speaking country for some time) and so on.

It's just shitty user experience.
Hello Everyone I just curated a list of resources for help you to find Product Market. A lot of us having hard times to understand the concept and there are a lot of buzz around. So, I thought, a list for really great resources to product market fit can be helpful. You can find the list after sign-up

Also, I am still gathering resources for a lot of topics such as Covid-19, Go language, UX Design and more. So if you wanted learn something but never found the time for searching resources, it might be good time to start for it. I can curate a list for that, just leave a comment about topic you want to learn. I hope it helps.

Thanks and Stay at home :)v

Why produce something when you can buy it cheaper? Economy 101.
Without voluntary deferrals, we'll see cascading defaults.
Good suggestion.

For me, use Docker if you want k8s started up every time you start Docker, and easy ingress. I don't love having a cluster always running, so I'm keeping the k8s function off by default.

Use kind if you want multi-node clusters, and a production-like simulation of your environment.

Use minikube for a straightforward dev experience, where you have control over k8s version, resource allocation, and don't need meaningful configuration of the control plane.
This is a decidedly peculiar attitude. The web is a vast global network of hyperlinks — that was its original intent. A web user is expected to follow the hyperlinks to discover more information.

The author provided the key hyperlinks: https://smalltalk.tech.blog/2020/03/07/jrmpc-2020-award-winn... and the YouTube video link, as well, which also links to the main JRMPC website. Once you get to the JRMPC website, you can learn ALL about the competition in great detail, including the source code to the competition!

Moreover, the smalltalk.tech.blog itself shows the author's approach to evangelizing the language. It's one of pure marketing, trying to engage the audience with flashy visuals and more hyperlinks to examples, resources, etc. It's a very nice layout.

The whole point of the web is that a single document doesn't have to cram in all the information in one location. Think of this particular article as an "executive summary." You want to learn more? Follow the hyperlinks and do a deep dive.

The article was never intended to spoon-feed you. Use the web as intended. I did, and I'm more knowledgeable as a result.

This was designed to give a fair chance to all names. Each name is released on a release schedule where you can take the hash of the name % 52 to determine which week it will be released. All names will be released within a year.

Given a lot of countries are declaring the state of emergency, « state of war » for Emmanuel Macron (France), a lot of them can and will require the use of hotel, cars, or even « nationalize companies » (Italy and France). Why not also accepting that the confinement shouldn’t be an opportunity for copyright hoarders to become rich, and just temporarily allow or do nothing, so that entertainment at home be available. Perhaps even make them temporarily legal and end up with making them permanently legal.

Sometimes war-times measures become permanent (female vote in France, gun confiscation and the Tignes dam all started during the WWII) when they are good.
This is pretty rare, and it's getting rarer.

Clouds are successfully locking people in volume discounts, proprietary technology (like AWS Aurora), and non-transferrable configuration tasks.

I agree that cloud-agnostic tooling should exist, but as a for-profit company trying to find a large customer base, it's not a big market.
this is really nice...

Can a few pre-made templates be shared?

Folks can then then 'fork' it out github-style.

Eg, financial independence - it has a couple of sub-topics - like understand current state, identify goals, etc... and then finally an actionable set of tasks.

1. There’s no treatment other than supportive care.

2. Ventilators aren’t dumb iron lung machines. Current ventilators are large, complex and very much specialized machines which require special training to operate.

Once you get to the point you need a ventilator the ventilator is the least of your problems.
[edit] The tone of the reply was a bit snarky, I admit.

What makes you think I subscribe to the ideology of communism? What makes you think it was responsible for millions of deaths (as opposed to say, tyrannical dictatorship?) What are your proofs that is - as you say - objectively evil?
No! It’s bloody useless because you’re not just receiving it through your respiratory passage, but also eyes. And then you touch a surface which someone has put bodily fluids on and put your fingers in your mouth or rub your eyes.

Masks are excellent for stopping transmission for infectious patients however - because it catches particulates.

Current (and to be fair, there remains some debate but it seems it is really just the precautionary principle) evidence suggests that spread is by droplet. So a mask doesn’t help stop you receiving it. Definitely helps you stop transmitting it; definitely helps healthcare workers who are exposed to high titre loads, and will be working sick unlike the rest of the population,

But the average person can reduce both their transmission and infection by being vigilant with hand washing, masks if sneezing/coughing/isolating, not touching face/mouth/eyes

Leave the masks to the healthcare workers and the infected
It's very regional. A while back someone here on HN was trying to tell everyone how easy and affordable it was to get 10Gb fiber these days and didn't seem to be aware of how ridiculous that statement was. Sure enough, when challenged they produced a link to a company that assured me they could not service my company's area, which not only isn't rural but is also a stone's throw away from a rather large IT company who's name you'd definitely recognize.

Hell, my company has several branch locations which are relegated to point-to-point wireless links in the sub-Mb range.
Sure. I cheated. I specifically didn't feel like setting up extraPortMappings (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/issues/808), and then create an ingress controller (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/ingress/). Not difficult, just not turnkey availability like the other two.

> Entering a password into an HTML form is NOT SECURE, period.

What I meant by needing the user to enter a password (whether in a web app or native app) is that the user will still need to use a password manager and 2FA for decent security in the case that their password is compromised elsewhere. And no, you don't have to combine it with bruteforce if someone knows the password you use on an app that utilizes SRP. So it's not lightyears from what we have now. If you have the password, you can log in, whether the server uses OPAQUE or simply checks the hash.

A browser extension is still insecure third-party JS code. I honestly think there's no way to securely implement it for browsers, but it'd work well in native apps.

> Don't rely on someone else's computer for your own security.

Precisely. Use a password manager and assume the server is going to be compromised one day. Assume you might be phished one day, so you shouldn't use the same password for everything. That's the right mindset.

A salted hash is what all ZKPP implementations end up with. You can still figure out the user's password by bruteforcing the password verifier, because it's the hashed result of the ZKP's algorithm. My case in point is that you're achieving the same level of security as HTTPS + salted hash except in 7+ steps, each step leaving room for improper implementation.
If everyone is getting a set amount of money every month, its the opposite. Its telling them that they are valued and that society knows they are a human being and is trying to at least provide them with a roof and food. It allows them a base from which to improve themselves. It gives breathing room.

Study after study have proven that the greatest indicator of where you end up in life is where you start. Start in poverty odds are you will end there.

Its pretty hard for a single mom with 2 kids that works 2 jobs to also go to school, interviews etc. and make a better life. Especially when so many of the low skilled jobs provide no benefits. If she slips once, she is homeless.

Ensuring she has at least her basics met allows her to drop the second job and figure out a way to go to school or learn a skill. Or at the very least it allows her to spend time with her kids each night working on their homework and giving them a chance to break the poverty cycle.
That’s absolutely false. You have the choice not to watch it instead of stealing it.
With NPM now being an (indirect) part of Microsoft, I would expect them to introduce proprietary extension to the repository protocol (or something similar) in an attempt to lock the open source community into their hosting solution.

The key quote:

“It’s going to be catastrophic,” Shepherdson said bluntly. “This is an economy built on discretionary consumption.” He was referring to all the nonessential purchases that people make in their daily lives, things ranging from new clothes and appliances to personal services such as spa sessions, meals in restaurants, and Uber rides. According to Shepherdson, all this nonessential stuff amounts to about forty per cent of the U.S.’s gross domestic product. In other words, it is enormous, in terms of both its dollar contribution to the economy and the number of people it employs.
Yang's UBI proposal is a myopic and stupendously libertarian policy idea that would deprive the poor of targeted social relief programs they actually need. Can't stress enough how utterly bad it is.
This is exactly the point.

There is never a reason to save if the government will always bail you out.

If you are forced to save because not saving could mean certain company death, you will save. And make sure you have a two year runway if zero business is happening.

But with the bailouts the companies are rightfully maximizing shareholder value.

The bailout should directly go to displaced workers and supporting them. It'll directly stimulate the economy and correctly punish the company got fucking itself.

Isn't war usually involved in these changes? Economic analysis isn't enough. We must also appreciate the military might buttressing the current paradigm.
