When will companies learn that you can't take payments on behalf of other people without consent?!

Do we really have to keep learning this lesson over and over again...

The two party system is a big factor because it allows the two parties to stay closely within their positions and voters have nowhere else to go. When I compare this to Germany there the traditional two big parties received a rude wake up call because suddenly the greens and the AFD started rising. So these parties have to refresh themselves unless they want to become irrelevant. In the US there is no such pressure.
We probably should do that. It would be a great governance and political variable.

We have targets for inflation and employment already, writing a Gini coefficient into law (in my country such thing would go into the Constitution) and forcing the government to chase it would be great.
Couldn't you achieve marginally identical performance with PUSH on HTTP2, plus the independent requests using the same connection?

And I do understand the advantage of a single request, but the _tradeoff_ in backend development time does seem extreme.

Keen to know if you can expand on trusted client _a richer API_ - what's richer than building your on request from many small endpoints?
Well, yes, but I don't call it regulatory hysteria to ban planes from making sonic booms over land so that wealthy people can get from one coast to the other faster.
I think it was worse with TLC right before the transition to 3D NAND. They were down to about 8 electrons between voltage states. 3D NAND memory cells are physically much larger than 15nm planar NAND, and most are a lot less leaky.
My personal wish is that more of these data be presented on a per capita basis. It's great that Australia's numbers are low but Australia (my home country) has half the population of California (where I currently live).
Yip, it uses ligatures, but it also has a system where you can say put a box around text by using the underscore character w/ square braces ("[_mi_pilin]" has the "mi" and "pilin" characters with a cartouche around them, like on the second line of the linked page below), and also I think does dynamic compounding of characters (see the current complete character list here - https://davidar.github.io/linja-pona/nimi - I haven’t asked the author how they did it, but my guess is that there’s something fun/dynamic going on).

everything else lowers it

What are these everything else’s? By far the best predictor of patient mortality has been age. What else is it about the Diamond Princess population that would come even close, even in sum, to the predictive power of their age?
That seems to only include the accident mortality rate. It would likely be even higher if you included deaths from automobile air pollution.

Unrelated but curious, why do you feel it's a completely reasonable tradeoff? In my mind, automobiles have led to a class (and historically race) divide which further segregates and polarizes sects of society.

Similar comparisons can be made between the US and otherwise ostsensibly 'poor' countries that provide free education.

Even 5 seconds will work if the actions can overlap. If it can't do things in parallel then we have issues much more fundamental than "performance", and there's no defending it as a competent system.

> Open borders is anti-capitalist because it allows labor to move with the same liberty as capital, so it can help reduce the ability of capitalists to find deals.

What? I seriously don't understand this. Find what deals? How does it make it harder?

> Nations are fake.

In what sense? Surely, given the opportunity, most people would prefer to live in Sweden as opposed to Liberia. Most would pick US citizenship over, say, Vietnamese.
The reason you don't want to detect musl is the assumptions will break, say there is some incompatibility of some sort and the issue is brought up to the austin group which then clarifies the behavior which musl changes you now have a never ending number of versions you need to detect.
I'm British, but used to work with a lot of Americans, all white-collar workers in the oil and gas industry, across a few different companies.

It seemed to me that the US has a toxic overtime culture, where your perceived value to the company was based in large part by how much time you were at your desk. And of course, you didn't get paid for that overtime. I don't think I met a single person who worked less than 50+ hours a week, every week.

I did ask about this, and was always told it was "normal".

Also, and I might be remembering this wrongly, I think employees only got ten days annual leave.

This was all in a single industry, in a single state, so I don't know how well the observation extrapolates, but it was my perception at the time.
Try to read this thinking about North Korea instead of the US. Really makes it easy to see how this is pure propaganda spin.
If it’s any comfort few governments have shown the same amount of forethought and attention to detail.

Singapore has done well, but besides them there have been lots of missteps all over.
yes... I agree. I'm working on this too. The 2.0 UI will be all re-done in React, better mobile support, including transitions. So you will be able to deep link to other annotations by their ID.

Also, going to work on the ability to link them together with a search and auto-complete system so that you can just start typing tags, or the body of the note, and then they can be linked.
Lol ?
You seem to imply that there's no mathematical model/theory of non-deterministic/distributed systems. Surely you don't believe that?
The people are Singapore's most valuable asset, as they have no natural resources other than their strategic port location. The populace is well educated, and an inept government won't survive. Spending to curb the effects of a deadly virus is the only option for the government.
So, the first solution to consider is if this needs a technical solution at all.

If it happens infrequently enough, you can have simply have a proceed "change mortgage rate" that touches the 4 legacy databases. Done.

If it does need a technical solution, you have to establish the leading system / source of truth / whatever you call it. This can be either an existing system or a new one. And then all the others need to follow the leading system.

A more distributed approach (every of the 4 legacy systems can generate events that the other 3 work with) likely won't work with 4 legacy systems. It's often hard enough to get high-fidelity events/deltas out of a single system.

Oxford Model: Coronavirus May Have Already Infected Half of U.K. Population
I wanted to answer to arethuza but you just provided a reference to the essence of what I was going to say: "The [...] Indo-Europeans, a nomadic culture of the Pontic-Caspian steppe, expanded in several waves during the 3rd millennium BC. Their expansion coincided with the taming of the horse." Basically, using horses as an overpowering advantage over others, the people living in the space that was later inhabited by Scytians spread all over, including westward. Not much room for "picking a place to come from", as I understand it.
I have no idea about this particular case, but for a lot of older concepts the root of divergent terminology is IBM. IBM invented its own lingo for lots of things, and persisted in using it even when the rest of the world settled on a different term. (This seems to be a habit companies pick up when they become huge and dominant; see also Micro-speak and Google-speak.)

The thing everybody else called a "hard disk," for instance, was long referred to by IBMers as either a "Winchester disk" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_IBM_magnetic_disk_d... for the etymology on that one) or a "fixed disk."
I have a quite similar story to tell. During my time (PhD) at academia, I always had access to plenty of computing resources. What's the point of having a powerful laptop? Mostly the possibility to do some heavy lifting also offline (during travel, in hotels with bad WiFi, at conferences, etc) and especially without latency (doing visualization with remote GPU rendering over VNC is fine, but annoyingly slow if you have a slow WiFi).

Having said that: being equipped with a decent work station can really feel much better. Maybe you can manage your university to pay for it (sometimes your advisor/professor has some money left).
> The 2nd (with higher inequality) is obviously preferred.

Is this really obvious to modern left?
Cool company name!
Hi, the dots are currently generated on a per capita basis, although it not be as visible since we use a log scale. We're working on adding per capita tooltips though!
Depending on your compiler __has_include("threads.h") combined with a check for thrd_t or similar after should cover everything except the craziest cases.
For me, in NL, it's about 55 Euro per month for 200/200 fiber and TV (including fees and taxes). Unfortunately this increases every year in NL as well.
Yes, I remember the PIX! Probably late 97 or 98, I set one up for a large corp. They were not using NAT previously, but HTTP and socks proxies.
Wow - never knew that!
It’s not just game theory, it’s actual real world efficiency. Which translates into jobs and salaries. Reducing baseline capital efficiency drives up all baseline costs. These costs are passed on to consumers and act as a drag on the economy.

It would make no sense to do that in response to a black swan event.

Let’s say small business has to keep 6 months of expenses in reserve instead of the typical 3 months rule of thumb. For the same amount of cash on hand that means you can afford half the monthly expenses.

It’s not just a matter of “hoard more cash”. That cash had to come from prior quarter’s net income. Revenue you don’t invest drags down growth (a.k.a hiring). Revenue you don’t spend is also taxed, adding further drag on the business.

Basically what this proposal is suggesting is to drastically reduce the “money multiplier”. This shrinks GDP.

If the government forces your company to shut down for weeks, I expect them to pay for it. It doesn’t make any sense for small businesses to self-insure against government mandated shutdowns. That would simply be a recipe for destroying small business.
And, what, break HN's well known rules that differentiate us from other websites? Hogwash!
What I don’t get is people hoarding perishables. Like what is your plan? Have it, is that the plan, have it?

This is painfully true. This is pretty well captured by the completely out of touch sentiments in [0], written by the folks at Crooked Media (generally Democratic establishment people). The wealthy upper middle class sees the coronavirus quarantine as just a chill time to work from home on a laptop and drink wine.

These people are not ignoring the plights of the poorer working class; they are altogether completely blind of it. They know that 3 million people just filed for unemployment, but they only know about it as an abstract statistic. The human cost is entirely lost on them.

We're thinking of adding an generic sync functionality into Polar so that you could keep external connections to thinks like Anki, Evernote, Roam, etc.

For those missing context, there’s a video game called Plague Inc. that has seen an uptick of interest due to the corona virus. I haven’t played it personally but I believe this post is a visualization of COVID-19 infection data in the style of that game.
I dig this. If I were ever blessed with the opportunity to run a private, profitable company these are the types of people I would want to hire and retain. Building a company with a slice of my citizens. My local food distribution company had the volunteer fire chief on payroll in a town that couldn't afford to pay a salary for a full time chief. I think it was a great civic service to let him leave work when we had calls during the day.

Second Griffiths books, I used both his E&M and QM books in undergrad. His voice is excellent.
I'm assuming you don't mean communism? Because even in the book he is fairly down on communism/socialism. It seemed to me the more likely (and unpleasant) hypothesis is that war/nationalism generates growth like nothing else. When the threat of war looms and patriotism is high, government investment in technology and society is also high, and corporations are more likely to be invested in their home country rather than spreading across international boundaries looking for the best ROI. And the rapid succession of WWI/WWII/Cold War basically ensured that environment existed for decades.

There's a pretty big difference between doing zero in response to a dropped pulse on a Covid-19 patient and 30 people rushing into a room with no protective gear. While I understand that physicians are confused and frustrated by the lack of resources, phrasing the discussion around 'mandatory DNRs' is alarmist and unhelpful.
Samsung's "Z-NAND" is a latency-optimized 3D SLC NAND, which uses smaller page and block sizes than their capacity-oriented mainstream 3D NAND. The Samsung 983 ZET, SZ983 and SZ985 are drives using that memory.

Kioxia (formerly Toshiba) is sampling their version of the same basic idea, and SSDs using that memory should be coming out during the next few months.

Intel has of course replaced SLC NAND with their 3D XPoint memory, which is about twice the price but can sustain better write speeds because it doesn't have flash memory's slow block erase operations.
This doesn’t address moves at all? I might need to read it again but I don’t think it’s as easy as the author claims it is.
I heard (and have no idea if it is true or not) that back in the 80s Microsoft was not particularly concerned about piracy, because it was great advertising and often led to people buying the product.

DOS was indeed pirated all over the place, and Microsoft rose to be the biggest company in the world. Cause and effect? Who knows!
We're getting there.. The backend supports it now. If you send me a list of your requirements (just create a github issue here https://github.com/burtonator/polar-bookshelf/issues) I will look at adding the functionality you need.

We're adding support for DOI lookup and APIs like Arxiv so you could just add a DOI to polar and it will fetch the PDF and keep the metadata.

Will also support export to bibtex too.

Our big focus right now is shipping 2.0 so that we have a more modern platform that can scale us moving forward.

Sometimes the firmware is optimized for operation though.
WD is one of the most advanced companies in this regard. My 4TB Passport drive reports a drive model which is not sold separately but, it's purpose built to run in an enclosure.

My first generation Passport 320GB disk was also has a different firmware for enclosure based operation.

IIRC some WD disks doesn't have SATA ports but USB ports are directly soldered to their drive boards.

WD is an interesting company.
Yes, I'm aware.

My best understanding is that current Waffle House closures have nothing to do with supply chain problems and are mostly due to state or local restrictions on venues like restaurants. Many places are insisting that takeout is fine, but dine in is unacceptable (and I don't disagree with that).

Complying with the law to contain the pandemic in no way tarnishes their track record for having an amazingly robust supply chain system.
You are two weeks behind with testing. There is no rest of the country anymore.

Ask HN: Salary for entry-level programming job at defense contractor?
A kid's friend is about to interview for their first job at a defense contractor. The kid is smart (I have vetted this person). What kind of comp should this person shoot for? FWIW the person is a minority.
No it is not, and you're doing exactly the thing that is the problem (calling Fake News something other than its original definition). Examples of Fake News include:

* "69% of veterans disapprove of [Political Candidate]" (not actual poll results)

* Claiming a rally for a political candidate is being organized that does not exist

Another indicia of fake news is that it looks like it's coming from a legitimate news outlet - the graphics are there and it's attributed to a legitimate-sounding outlet (like "America News Network") but is not one.

It's fine if you want to call propaganda propaganda, but don't call it fake news. They are not identical.

So what's the most valuable asset of the US?
The yugoslav wars had a total death rate of < 1%, and saw most of the cities still standing.
3-4 Million ppl were displaced, ~15-20% of pre war population and there are 5-6 countries where there used to be 1. It doesn't take much to change a lot.
sorry, my mistake. fixed
Firefox's bookmark and history manager is atrocious x) Reminds me of IE5 or something like that.
I'd really like to see this discussed here. I've not seen anybody talking about this in the US. This is the guy behind the "highly-cited Imperial College London coronavirus model."

And this is a major revision. It drops estimated deaths in the UK from 500,000 to "20,000 or far fewer." It also estimates that the UK will not run out of ICU beds in the process.

The reason is that the transmissibility estimate has gone up, which implies that many more people have already had the virus than we realized. This, in turn, means that a much lower percentage are serious cases. It also means that we are much nearer to the peak than we thought.

Edited to add: He also credits the lockdown in the UK, but if you look at the previous model of how this plays out even with a complete lockdown, you see that the vast majority of the change must come from the change in estimate of transmissibility.
> The fundamental point (r>g) is irrefutable.

There's a really easy refutation of that point: it is literally impossible over any major span of time, because r is a component of g. If r were to grow systematically faster than g, it would end up dominating everything else, with the result that g = r.
Can Apple be held liable by the CCPA as they are a reviewer with a gating process for iOS apps, allowing the Facebook SDK to be included?
Do you use a VPN?

Lots of companies do, and have had to quickly buy new license, and are finding out they don't have the network capacity to handle all their employees working from home.
So you are proposing the solution to not do anything so the projections become true, so next time you will take it serious?

The problem with your way of arguing is that one can not win. If they say "if we don't do anything there will be 3 in 100 people dying" and they do something, you say they lied. If they don't do anything, you will ask "why have they not done anything! They are incompetent or malicious"

What's the latest with WebAssembly? I must admit, I'm not fully sure I understand what its goals are and what we should expect its usecases to be.

For a time there seemed to be a lot of hype around writing SPAs in whatever language you like, not just JavaScript, but that seems to have cooled off somewhat - at least that's my impression.

Last time I checked in it seemed to be actually quite the opposite - good for low level stuff, data processing, graphics, things in other threads essentially, but if you want to touch the DOM at all just use JS seemed to still be the standard advice. I haven't looked again since. Have things progressed on that front, and if not was that ever really a goal of WebAssembly anyway?
