I'd love to throw stones here but I'm just used to it. The official way of installing Ubuntu linux (and many other distros such as Mint) from a Mac, for example, uses a giant bloated piece of crap that includes not just the Facebook SDK but also the Google Analytics stack! I think it's a lost cause. There simply aren't enough good software developers active in the world and these SDKs can make it easy or possible for developers to ship product.
Yah,this is all part of profiling without your permission without it needing to know who you are but still being able to identify you. Thanks Zoom for being a trustworthy entity.
More aggressive testing explicitly lowers CFR, as the harder cases that will eventually die are confirmed under both strict and aggressive testing policies but the light cases are only confirmed by more expansive testing.
Portrait of the Author as a Historian: Fernand Braudel (2016)
That is a really good point and one I hadn't considered.

Is it really that easy for a single device to take down a neighborhood? For example, could a bad actor trivially disrupt a node with a modified modem? I guess that would be difficult to defend against.

I don't know enough about docsis to say if it has any protections against out-of-spec devices.

I don't know why I'm surprised when things outside my area of expertise are fragile, considering things inside my area of expertise are fragile.
How much more expensive is this grocery chain compared to others, if anything?
Let's say Pat is an English speaker who has a strong understanding of its history and root words, but has never seen or heard of a hippopotamus until reading your comment. Without looking the word up, Pat can break down the word into the Greek roots híppos (horse) and potamós (river). From these roots, Pat can assume that a hippopotamus is a "river horse" -- a four-legged animal, probably a large mammal, that lives in or around rivers.

Let's say Jordan is a practiced speaker of Toki Pona who has never seen a hippopotamus, and has just now heard "river wonder dog" for the first time ever. Just like Pat, Jordan can infer that this refers to a four-legged animal, probably a mammal, definitely big or impressive, that spends lots of time in water. (The context of rivers is lost, so Jordan might assume that this creature lives on ocean shorelines, or even in open water.)

In either language, the creature's name uniquely identifies it to people who are already familiar with the animal, and gives a useful description to people who are unfamiliar with it.

>> 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.

I'm building exactly that. A SPA using Go compiled to WASM. Some issues seem to be the startup time and the payload size.
In 2015, when we joined, Slack’s Mac app was using "MacGap" (i.e. the PhoneGap/Cordova model but for Mac). Electron was being used for Windows only, and it was a lot later that it became the platform for Slack’s Mac, Windows and Linux apps.

This is innovation in the wrong direction... against our privacy and consent for the benefit of a company whom I may not want to give this data to and whom didn't clarify that's what was happening. It's corporate malfeasance, and if you think it should be unrestricted "innovation" then you're probably on the creepy side of the Big Brother-like data-gathering monster.
Regulation exists to protect citizens at scale. “Don’t use the business” isn’t how we’ve built society, rightfully so. If you believe the regulation to be onerous, fix it.

Happens all the time, most recently during the 2017-2018 season in parts of the US: https://time.com/5107984/hospitals-handling-burden-flu-patie...

Also keep in mind that COVID-19 would be quite a bit more contagious than the flu (so it would spread more rapidly) if this theory is correct.
Canada may be testing a greater proportion of the infected people. They may also have different criteria for when someone's death is "caused by" COVID19.

Sounds like you give a very permissive way to use your designs, so maybe the MIT license (e.g. used for Rails, see. https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/MIT-LICENSE).
But that requires a license and copyright notice, which you do not seem to require. So I am not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in? :-)

Oh, doesn't seem like very much.
The dynamic is exemplified by The Formula.

" Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

Is there an aspect of this movie quote that does not apply to vulnerabilities?
But it's not quite fair to compare two different cities in an economy where only some cities are shut down. If New York shuts down but can still purchase goods from LA, then that's a remarkably different situation than the entire country being shut down, which is essentially what is going on now.

You cannot study the cities in isolation. They are not self-sufficient economies. It's possible that one city was able to isolate because it depended on the other cities to be working to receive its goods and to jump-start its economy after the isolation. These effects cannot be ignored, and are substantially different than today, when it's not just that most states are shut down but also that most countries are shut down (well the ones of economic significance, anyway).

Its not even that in places. Some hospitals in Dallas will only test you if you are critical i.e. cannot breathe on your own.
Interesting may not be the right word. Though CFRs that are an order of magnitude apart suggests the discrepancy between actual and confirmed cases in many regions of the world is much greater than that in the US.
Italy and Spain have had far worse responses. Italy's mortality rate is over 10% right now, Spain's is at 7.5% and France's is at 5.7%. These are atrocious outcomes.

Several Western European nations are seeing far higher per capita case loads and death rates.

Several prominent healthcare systems across Europe have proven wildly incompetent so far, including Spain, Italy and Britain (which is barely doing any testing). The famed French healthcare system is proving barely able to handle what's going on there, thus their very high mortality rate.
Got any data to support your claim, otherwise I could argue that risk factors, 60+, immunocompromised are the MAJOR concerns as stated above.
Looking to Italy and Spain seems to confirm this view.

But that is entirely tangential to LTV. No one is denying the reality that supply and demand affect price in the short term. The argument is simply that in the long term as those equilibrate, the relative prices of commodities will tend to hover around their socially necessary labor times. Marxism/LTV distinguishes between value (socially necessary labor time) and price.

One thing i'll note here as to a potential reason why they do this

I just recently attempted to set up Facebook adverts for an app I developed. When it came time for me to set the metric up I obviously chose "App Installs" as my metric to track.

To do this, Facebook told me I needed to install the Facebook SDK in my app to attribute an adverts conversion.

I didn't end up running the ad, but I can see why companies potentially have the SDK embedded in their apps to track ad-spend, hence the phoning-home to Facebook.

Edit: Just so people don’t have to dig to verify;

That not a valid counterpoint to my claim in that itdoesn't negate the fact that he could have been a genius in many other fields if he had touched them and assuming he "had the opportunity".

Ask HN: How does a non-US founder of a Delaware company get paid?
About to incorporate a C-Corp in Delaware as a non-US citizen and not living in the US. When the company makes money, how will I, and others I work with around the world, get paid legally? How will various taxes be split between the US and people's respective countries of residence?

(Again it's a C-Corp, not an LLC which apparently would make things horribly complex for non-US persons)

> I'm sure there are 16,000 people that would be thankful that you were 14,000 ventilators short instead of 30,000.

Yeah, but that's with the benefit of hindsight. And ultimately, the idea that NY should have bought those ventilators back then is a deeply political cheap shot indented to distract people from the current administration's own lack of preparedness.
Exactly my point. Rising confirmed cases is mostly just a proxy for test penetration.
The virus is growing at different rate in many continents so whilst one may get things under control, the issue shifts and south america and africa do seem to be worrying for many.

You know, after a short search and calculation, it looks like today there are about 4 times more people dying in your country than usual. That's pretty big. In a couple of weeks, there will probably be nearly no new cases, so you can detect growth without it immediately being a disaster.

Yes, there are economic consequences, but the alternative is quite a lot of avoidable deaths.
My problem with it is that I still need another mac to use it. In the event of an emergency (IE theft or disaster), the last thing I want to hinder me from accessing my backup is an operating system. Especially a high cost and not as commonly used in public spaces operating system.

Depending on the specifics they may not be. I live in a Condo tower and my mailbox isn't visible from the street, so if you decided to take notes on me as I read my mail you'd be trespassing.

The specific scenario isn't the point - but the fact that a semi-obvious scenario could be incorrect sorta is. Regulations are complex and tech has a terrible history of playing fast and loose with regulations so it's not like an imposition of regulations would be inappropriate or unwarranted - there are good and bad apples, and the bad apples spoil the bunch.
I'm fully aware of MIRV and a number of other issues related to arms control. I'm not concerned about governments thinking a ICBM is incoming because it shows up on a radar. We have plenty of technical and social solutions to this. Nations do not just nuke a single city out of the blue.
Blazor WebAssembly 3.2.0 Preview 3 release now available
Sure, but there's no option to control which format it creates the capture in. Besides I end up ffmpeg converting it to mp4 and get a video about 10x smaller.
I mean, this is well articulated, but it's also one of the best-known problems in computer security. Whole research projects have been done on this problem; I was (with presumably dozens of other researchers) recruited to work on one, where I was asked to stand up a fake security research firm and inquire about vulnerability reports.

A lot of people have burnt a lot of energy pointlessly on technical solutions to this (such as well-known URLs pointing to vulnerability report pages), but the fundamental problem is simply that most vendors don't know that they need to do something here, and until they're educated, nothing else will help them.

> The Philippines, The United States, The Great Lakes

The point is that they are all names for a unique entity. There are no multiple Philippines - there's only one. Yet we should say "The Philippines", while we cannot say "The Switzerland."

Similarly, we aren't talking about "a particular group of united states among multiple such groups" - for example, nobody calls Germany "The United States", even if it's made of many states.

> "the poor (people)", where "people" is elided.

The problem with this analysis is that "the poor people" can be used to mean "these particular group of poor people we are talking about", but "the poor" can't - it's not a definite group of people.

E.g., "I met those refugees on the road, so I asked the poor a few questions." (??)

> a shirt, but a piece of garment, and a pair of pants

I'm saying: why can't we say "a garment" or "a pants"? (Hmm maybe we can say "a garment"? I'm not sure.) Seriously, a pants should be a thing: it's clearly one item. Has anyone ever seen someone wearing "a pant" (i.e., half a pair of pants)?
CDDA also has a whole bunch of graphical options. I find it way easier to parse that way and I think most players use the tilesets these days.

You can develop all of these services, just don't hoard data. With no centralized serverside database you have no liabilities. P2P is a solved problem.

> No country views property rights as inviolable. Eminent domain trumps individual property rights. Property can be seized pursuant to a lien due to debt, non-payment of taxes, criminal activity, etc. We're not operating under some slavish, unyielding notion of property rights.

However, quite a few individuals do seem to view property rights as inviolable, and reject the exceptions you enumerated.
I believe that line in the Q&A is referring to the "other COVID-19 tests, where the test result is available in a few minutes". It's ambiguous and confusingly phrased, but it seems like Bosch directly detecting the pathogen, in contrast to other rapid tests (which don't, presumably, use PCR, as that takes longer than "a few minutes").
The most common hundred words is challenging.

But maybe not the most common hundred concepts. "Turn out" is ambiguous but the notions of "expulsion" or "away" or "count" and "people" may not be.

It would be extremely useful to have a list of the most common core concepts shared by all cultures. Some maybe tricky like colors, but there must be a great many in common because it is possible to communicate after all.

"people who believe in marxism are ideologues and people who believe in the predominant ruling-class economic wisdom are simply wisely following expert advice"

You are half right. People who are adherents to Marxism are certainly ideologues - Marxism is an ideology, not a science, and it's anti-empiricism leaves it there permanently.

There's quite a lot of diversity among expert opinion on the many matters Marx discusses, and while current economics is barely a science, we have learned some things in the past 150 years. Marxism is a cult that pretends to have a science, despite the 150 year old claptrap in the source being unscientific, incoherent, and with most key concepts in Marx's ideas of economics being discredited. His more useful ideas have been picked up by everyone, and he's useful as a foil to illustrate ignorant concepts, but there really has been some progress in the sciences Marx was foundering at in the last 150 years. Dumping Hegelian magical thinking and learning to ground concepts in empirical data helped quite a lot for progress.

The faithful follow Marx's anti-empiricism and adhere to Dear Leader's Greatness out of a sense of identity in the cause of seeking justice and economic fairness because it's a cult not a science. Marxists murdered anyone on the left who didn't agree with them as happily as the Capitalists, but these days it is possible to dump Marx and still be sincerely committed to universal economic justice. In fact it's our only chance given Marxism's dismal failure.

Sure, Singapore is small, but that’s not the main reason they’ve done so well.

Singapore experienced SARS, which also took the lives of doctors and nurses in addition to their patients. That country’s healthcare system has been stress-tested in a way that most haven’t.
