InstaHard
It might improve improves the force of an erection, assist you with keeping up an erection longer and gives more grounded discharge. Through its fixings, this plan tends to most men's need which is regularly a harder, greater and enduring erection. The point of InstaHard is to assist men with defeating their sexual brokenness issues and it does that by supporting the body's characteristic capacity, as per its maker. It works by improving movement in the corpora huge chambers in the penis.
At the point when the corpora huge chambers neglect to extend as required, because of absence of enough blood stream an individual starts to confront powerless erections. What InstaHard does is it comes to decrease weariness on the blood tissues, raise hormone levels, and viably increment oxygen conveyance. The fixings synergistically work to advance vitality and stamina on your penile muscles
this is the same guy who voted against a Child Predator law in Germany

What does that have to do with anything? It's really better to leave stuff like that out if you're attacking someone's credibility. Bringing in unrelated political points phrased on obviously inflammatory ways just makes it sound like you're got a partisan axe to grind and would criticise the guy no matter what he did.
Ask HN: Do you trust gurus more than prudent scientists?
It is so amazing to read the vast amount of inaccurate fluff or plain dangerous advice about coronavirus from gurus and self-proclaimed modellers (the same people relying on science, in normal times) that I need to ask if it is legit that tech giants let them speak and influence... and yes, Musk’s latest tweet ramble about kids being immune is just the latest straw?
German Government Organises Covid19 Hackathon
Much of the physical and logical infrastructure was heavily subsidized or outright paid for with public funds. One could argue that it was never economically viable, but forced to appear that way.

Internet infrastructure is not unique in this respect.

The idea that markets optimizing for profitability naturally tackle hard problems requiring immense up-front costs is an attractive lie.
I plotted the growth in subscribers since 2018: https://twitter.com/hackteck/status/1240941468879069185?s=20.
True. Unfortunately, there may be a wide amount of practical experience shortly.
What I am telling here is, if you are unable to meet the criteria that you are getting paid for, then you need to refund the difference. They are not doing that.

It is not about being selfish here, think more about it.
Isn't a panel just a (not-so-big) part of quality? I think for professional monitors (Eizo and NEC comes to my mind) there is a lots of electronics that provides consistency and wide-range adjustments.
Even the properly-conducted version of this test has a fairly substantial false negative rate, somewhere around the 30% mark, and if it's done by students using samples that might not be taken correctly on a rigged-together testing setup that's going to get worse. Seriously, you might as well flip a coin.
So, charge a fee of $5 to add or change a product page, to cover the cost of review. Maybe refund part of it for truly trivial changes.

Or give customers an automatic refund for reporting products sold against Amazon's policies - so any 1000%-marked-up face masks are free to customers.

~8 years ago I had an Acer 21" "laptop", and I loved it. I think it was 7kg-ish, but I always carry a backpack with some water, a small Chinese tea ceremony set, some books etc so this didn't bother me at all. I'm probably in a lower single-digit minority though.

Pros:

* full-size keyboard with proper travel,
* bigger battery,
* 21" is bigger than 15",
* it runs cooler and less noise.

Cons:

* weight,
* no more working from Starbucks.

320Wh sounds fun but you can't travel with it. 99Wh is max and some airlines even less.
This just goes to show, once again, what a ridiculous clusterfuck of greed and outright criminiality this "industry" is.

And I was worried about my little manifesto [1] being too straightforward. Time to spice it up, I guess.

Let me ask you a question. Has _anybody_ in the House or the Senate done anything to prevent this in January? Trump closed the flights at least, over the objections of both the (Chinese-funded) WHO and the Congress. Maybe he was hoping it'd be enough - we barely had any cases back then. Meanwhile everybody else was preoccupied with such "important" matters as impeachment, and tearing up the State of the Union address on TV.

Mike Tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth", but to me it seems like the only person who had _any_ kind of plan for this at the end of January was Trump. That plan, in retrospect, was inadequate, but nobody else did anything at all until almost the end of February.
Same goes for gaming mice.

That is a category of non-native speaker that I hadn't considered until you mentioned it. A bot. Perhaps the author of this post, and the article I mentioned aren't human at all. They could be bots. Sorry for being robophobical. These are anxious times we are in.
The Imperial 'study' has other problems too. It assumes NHS capacity is absolutely constant and won't change at all, not even in an entire year. Yet apparently the NHS already doubled the number of available beds.

What kind of study assumes capacity won't change at all in response to the sort of actions now being seen?
Yeah, by a bit of absolutely terrible luck, the preferred swabs for this are produced by a factory in Lombardy, Italy. There are other manufacturers of swabs that could be used but they don't seem to have the production capacity.
Aside from what people said about screen readers (which at least makes it a bit better than tables) this is still a bad layout.

Here[1] is a revised edition of a book I read in 2006 about this topic how people often just replace all table elements with div elements and call it a day instead of using all the options CSS provides. Another topic was using all the tools the browsers with the best standard support gave you while still providing a more limited, but at least usable, version for browsers which hadn't implemented some features (yet). Even back then you could make pages which read well if CSS wasn't available and were visually appealing with CSS applied and today almost any browser has all these tools available.

What's the alternaitive, just not even trying to help half of the people you could theoretically save?
The problem is that if Steve Jobs fails to demonstrate returns commensurate with his peers, Apple shareholders can and will oust him and replace him with another CEO who will "cut the fat" in order to boost Apple's profitability.

It's easy to look at Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos and think that a sufficiently charismatic CEO can use his or her "reality distortion field" to hypnotize investors, but it doesn't work like that over the long run. The reason investors had such patience with Jobs and Bezos is because they were demonstrably increasing their companies' market share and profitability, respectively. Under Bezos, Amazon went from a niche seller of books to the largest e-commerce site and one of the largest retailers, online or off. Under Jobs, Apple went from a has-been computer company kept alive as a prop for Microsoft to wave at the DoJ to a leader in personal computing, consumer electronics and the most profitable corporation in history.

Do you think that shareholders would have kept Bezos and Jobs around if their strategies had not been delivering the tangible results, quarter after quarter, year after year? I think not. For proof, we can only look to Yahoo, which spent an enormous amount of time and money wooing Marissa Meyer from Google, only to ignominiously fire her 5 years later after she was unable to arrest Yahoo's declining profitability and relevance.

A CEO of a publicly traded corporation, especially a publicly traded corporation that is financial trouble, only has so long to demonstrate success, where "so long" is measured in months or, at most years, not decades. If the CEO cannot demonstrate tangible results within that time frame, he or she will be fired, no matter how powerful their "reality distortion field". CEOs cannot transcend the crowd-sourced incentive-based decision making of the market over the long term. What the can do is spin a good story that persuades the shareholders to leave them alone for a brief period of time as they attempt to make the necessary changes in order to improve or restore profitability. If they are unable to do so, they are summarily dismissed, and replaced with someone else who can tell a better story about how they're going to improve the profitability and efficiency of the firm.

No amount of Jeff Bezos or Steve Jobs charisma is going to be sufficient to persuade shareholders to accept a 10% penalty year after year in order to safeguard a little known, little understood part of the supply chain against an event that may or may not happen decades from now.
> You're "merely" ignoring the confounding reason why Republican-leaning areas have fewer cases, as pointed out by the parent post.

Can you explain to me how that's relevant here? The grandparent post said that "This will cost them dearly in November," which is not borne by evidence at this point in time.

If you have evidence that points to the fact that Republicans or independents are considering voting Democrat based on this issue, I'd love to hear it.
No poaching agreements are a bit more of a grey area though
Yes, I doubt this was a very well-informed request by the EU as much as a PR move. I doubt the fiber between me and Netflix's edge cache at my ISP is significantly more saturated due to more people staying at home.
This comments reads like the classic "dropbox is trivial, it's just rsync" except it's more like "dropbox is trivial, it's just rsync on kubernetes with a reactJS frontend and a backend written in Haskell"
Ars is running a series of game developer interviews.

All of them have a common theme, fighting with the platform is what made all of those classical games a success.

Demoscene and game development communities have a different point of view about "fighting the platform".

I'm in Poland as well and I've been working remotely for over three years. Since the lock down started I feel that everything is a bit slower and less stable, but I haven't experienced major issues during usual work hours doing work-related things (maybe except MS Teams acting up).
However Netflix is broken most of the time during afternoon hours (when I want to keep kids occupied with cartoons for an hour or so to get things done). Luckily other streaming services work fine.
The hard part is to do 10K tests per day like the South Koreans did to successfully contain the spread of covid-19 (or 60K tests per day since the USA have 6 times the Korean population).

This would include gathering saliva samples and bringing them to the PCR machine in a safe way.

I'm not sure that the quality lowering already started but the last two movies I watched yesterday and today had really poor quality. I mean they definitely seemed like an average pirated torrent not the HD content I'm used to see on Netflix.

My internet connection is fine tho. Still low latency, no jitter.

I think it's important for this minority to be vocal to be noticed, so I'm doing my part.
> There is still the huge benefit that now these masks will be purchased in more reasonable quantities by customers, ensuring more people get the masks they need

Lol, no way. The need is for medical staff. These will either sit in some gouger's garage waiting for a premium price, or be needlessly used by someone affluent. Neither which is "need".

If you just measure the total amount of debt in the world, it’s very large even historically. I read a great article about it by the world bank. It’s been obvious for years that creditors are not very discerning. I think juicero and theranos will be used as examples of how loose creditors were. Every national bank in the world has been simultaneously engaged in pushing cheap money for a decade. If this really is going to be the trigger for the collapse of all the illegitimate debt out there then this is going to be very interesting.
The link in the article to a book from 1939 on suicides among the Iroquois tribes is interesting. It contains some accounts of the root being used to make poultices for rheumatism and arthritis.

In times of crisis and too much information, I tend to just read real "news papers" (well, in a digital format).

The quality difference to online journalism is incredible. That isn't an indictment against online journalists, since it is just the sad state of their industry and I think it just might not be possible to convey accurate news on the same day. If you want researched facts, you will have to wait at least a few days. And it often isn't just facts alone, but you require a larger context to put the info in perspective.

Classical journalism still makes a good job here, although reading different editors is still a good idea.

> Behind every news I can see some ulterior motive.

In online journalism I think that is mostly decided by readers. Especially controversial topics get a lot of hits. Guess which topics are going to be on the table for articles next week? If you think an article is basically just a troll, you shouldn't click it. I often make the same mistake, even if I just want to read the comments.

There are better and worse papers, but I don't have any specific recommendations for the anglosphere.

It is pretty cynical and hindsight is always 20/20, but... is self-driving automotive just trains and metros? There is a fundamental business case flaw in these startups, because regulators worldwide will never approve them go together with human traffic, which is messy, chaotic, smart in its own sense at local level (you need to know the uses of local people, not the general rules... eg. driving a car in Naples is very different from driving a car in Milan). Only dedicated lanes or tunnels then, trains!
This is great. I often test assumptions by picking a set of low/high numbers to get a feel for the range of likelihood in a very crude way. This is more sophisticated and gives more confidence in the correctness of the answer.
Maybe it’s time they got bought out by a larger company, and go dark. Continue their research in private, until they build the perfect robot.
You don’t even need Trizol - us old school Molecular Biologists used phenol.

For something like snot you probably don’t need any extraction process beyond heating to 100C in buffer.
Tangentially (this is HN after all) I also feel like "half a dozen" gives a more fuzzy confidence interval than a regular number ("6"). Of course, half a dozen literally means the amount 6, but am I the only one that reads them slightly differently? I almost see an implicit "about" before the phrase: "[about] half a dozen".
My impression of "steam machine" and SteamOS was that they were at least intended as a hedging strategy, at a time when Microsoft was seriously considering becoming a games distributor on Windows PCs. In that, it seems to me that Valve succeeded, in that there is now good awareness of SteamOS and Steam machines that Valve can start to refocus on should Microsoft start considering locking down on Windows apps again.

I still think that with more investment, Steam machines and SteamOS can become a moderate success, but until push comes to shove it seems to me likely that Valve thinks concentrating on traditional OSes and PCs is far more lucrative, while maintaining work on Linux (see: Proton) so Steam machines and SteamOS always remains a feasible backup platform.
It's quite sad to see such an attitude in these difficult times.
Mono vs. Project repos? Hurray, software sucks
things you could do, if the browser supported them
Not all apps do that (in fact i cannot think of any desktop application that i have installed that does something like this - though if i could, it would get the boot) and because applications run locally it is possible to monitor and control their behavior (indeed, with a server you just don't know what is going on, but with a local app you can at least tell that something is going on).

Also, while the UI is far from ideal (at least on Windows), you can block individual applications from accessing the Internet. It should be much simpler than it is now, though.
The p series thinkpad might fit the bill. The discrete GPUs are generally lower end quadros, but it'll be a big step up from UHD620.
> We use sophisticated tools, including machine learning

We do nothing, but to dodge any possible legal liability related to the price gouging. We'll say that we use "machine learning" so we could respond to any critique with "oops, algo is bad, but we do our best efforts" while doing nothing.
I'm sorry, but that is not the standard anybody else would apply when talking about other people. If somebody has a job at some company, we assume that is the job they are actually doing.

Its the Chief Engineers jobs to make choices about high level direction and to be the ultimate decision maker. In my book anybody who has that role for the most successful rocket company in human history is a genius.

If you want to claim he is not, claiming it all some sort of evil genius marketing scheme to hype up Elon, you need to provide an actual argument, no matter how many times you want to deny it.

> simply stating he has the title of chief designer is not sufficient evidence.

Its a private company, the evidence you ask for simply doesn't exists in the public domain. Essentially you have put yourself into a position where you have a opinion, and no evidence that exists in the public domain will convince you.

> neither is citing anecdotal evidence from people who work for him (and you didn't even give quotes, you just stated the supposed conclusions)

The best evidence we have is what people who have worked with him and multiple people in this thread have mentioned this to you. Yet you seem unwilling to do even a minimal amount of work yourself and neither me nor anybody else has time to go threw hours of video materials to provide quotes for you.

The fact is, you have a clearly uninformed opinion that disagrees with all the public knowledge we have and you have no evidence what so ever. This is clearly a stupid position to be in, but be my guest, I will no longer argue this.

When GMail was launched, everybody was amazed of how fast it ran.

The way it was optimized for IE6 was that the team decompiled it and understood how the JavaScript engine and the garbage collector were working underneath and got around them. The team went out their way to optimize for the large number of emails that are used insided Google.

The project of course was a huge success.

Are there any architecture charts to show what are centralised and what are decentralised components in Tardigrade?

I would assume that at least enterprise billing needs still to be centralised.
I recommend getting a CS degree. Don't be afraid of serious change if it moves you forward. You won't regret it.
That could help some but IMO the most important part would be to have stable drivers and standardized hardware. What sort of hardware that would be and when they'd updated it isn't that important (though i disagree about the year part - updates should be much less frequent than yearly, otherwise it defeats the purpose of having standardized anything as a year is too short of time span).
There seems to be a big divide between two groups:

One is of the mind that we should be empathetic and since it's not a lot of money, people shouldn't complain.

The other is of the mind that, Netflix can certainly take those actions but shouldn't pass those costs on to the consumer.

I'm in the second camp.

In Holland, all the big gym companies still charge their memberships even though the gyms are closed. Since they're legally required to refund the money, they hide that from the consumer and get ahead of it by offering to 'give' consumers their own money back on their membership card. Thus not losing any money.

I think that people in this thread don't have a problem with the measures being taken, but specifically with companies not eating the cost and trying to pass those on to the consumer. That's the shady part and it's not right IMO.

I also find it fascinating that people don't have an issue with paying for services that they didn't receive if they're on a subscription yet they wouldn't pay an invoice should their favorite club(s), restaurant(s), etc. start sending them those.

While I'm open to having my mind changed, all of these practices do strike me as kinda unethical. It appears to me as taking advantage of the user in order not to sacrifice revenue and I think that that's what most people here are objecting to.

edit: My perspective on companies whether the P&L of a company should be taken into account.

I don't believe so.

I think people should be given the option to make an informed decision. Actions like these feel like they're purposefully designing a choice architecture such that there's an asymmetric information flow that can be taken advantage of to serve one's own needs as a company. That's unethical IMO; not unlike a shady 20th century used car dealer.
Understood and makes total sense given the ODD at Starsky.
Here in Spain they'll fine you 100-ish Euros for walking around while the lockdown is in effect. I'd expect something similar in CA. Besides, in CA if you go to work, everyone and their dog will tell at you to go the eff home.
No, the covid testing kit was tested with more than a thousand probes and there wasn't a single false positive.

It really isn’t that difficult to avoid cross-contamination. As someone who has done literally 10s of thousand of PCR reactions (probably 100s of thousands) you just need to do your extraction and set-up seperate from where you run the reactions.

The real problem seems to be the kit-cowboys who have no idea how to do anything unless it comes out of a kit.
