This is insane. You know, no HN post to a google blogspot site works for me because these jerks are the only ones that discrinate on UA?

Google engoneering is Sooooooo disconnected from the rest of the world, I think we need legal regulation to stop them from doing stuipd things like this. Do they have any idea how many things need it?

HNers with a position of power at work, I plead with you: please advocate banning of Chrome at work and replacing it with any one of the webkit based alternatives or firefox. These people are insane. Every month I hear of some ridiculous thing. They took out navbar url parameters, add links to in page words, now this!

For those who think this is good for privacy...it is not! This is the same old sneaky ass evil thing they do. UA can be used to finger print you but it's very easy to set a generic user agent. Actually, if you look at user agents most of them have the latest string for Chrome, IE or firefox so it isn't useful without a whole lot of other details correlated with it. You know what the exception is? Android and iPhone browsers that incluse your device make and model in the UA and apps that includes whole lot more like facebook's apps.

Do you know what a "flexible" api like the one they're talking about allows? More fingerprintable data points! The fact that you even use that api is a privacy issue. Let's sat clienthints allows for 10 different variations of responses from clients,your specific client details might have just 3 things different from the mean and bam, now they can track your specific device. With UA,all versions of a client have the same exact detail and most people need an extension to change it, so it makes it much less easy to finger print.

This is the same ol sneaky bait and switch Google pulls. The content of your UA is not the privacy concern (although it contains too much at times) , it is the fact that it can be correlated with timing info,IP (especially v6),and if they already know your UA they will also use client default http header options to identify and track you without consent.
Social distancing is pretty great.

My company temporarily banned meetings with more than 6 people; this should be permanent.
Still greed if you ask me, how would it be different from me renting a movie at home and having friends over?

I dread the day when we have forced ocular/ear implants that allow for the blocking of anything we dont have a license for.

Nonetheless I get your point, I just believe it's sad that for all the innovation a free market touts, all I remember are the cool/amazing/interesting things they took from us by stifling real innovation.
>Companies canceling them are failing in their social responsibility

do you really believe there's a single incorporated entity on the planet that makes decision based on social responsibility? companies that continue to have internships are doing so because if they do not then they won't meet hiring quotas for next year (and will then be short-staffed because of churn).

You're ignoring the economic damage. That has non-zero fatality rate as well. As cynical as that sounds, you have to balance the two. You can't shut down the economy for more than a few weeks before supply chains fall apart and you start running out of food and necessities, not to mention anything more complicated. Any given widget typically relies on hundreds, if not thousands of suppliers upstream, to manufacture, and if you shut down some of those suppliers, you lose the ability to make the widget, or at least do so quickly. That "global economy" everyone was so proud of a few months back? It got a swift kick to the nuts in all this. Moreover, Europe will have to restart production also, for the same reasons, within no more than a month.

Also, you're making decisions based on pure panic in the absence of reliable information, and you're making them country-wide even though the country is not uniformly affected. The reality on the ground is some parts of the country need to remain more operational than others for us to pull through this, and aiming for sub-flu levels of fatalities is an unrealistic goal, no matter how much fear mongering you see from the press. It's simply not going to happen, even if COVID19 is cured entirely, if for no other reason that we can't cure the flu. 60K people die every winter, nobody gives a shit. 1K people die of coronavirus - everyone loses their mind.

Now granted, it could get much worse very fast, but that's why we're ramping up testing so massively: to be able to offer a more adaptive, more localized response that doesn't shut everything down.
Well, wouldn't surprise me if Apple is now trying to kill aspects of the "open web" they dislike. Ironic because they used "upcoming" web standards as argument to kill Flash.

Apple will do whatever it takes to protect its closed ecosystem, and if that means killing PWAs built with open web technologies they'll provide any dubious excuse to justify it (security, privacy, blahblah). They did the same back in 2010, killing a perfectly valid app platform that was picking up momentum, but they didn't control. A platform that was 5-10 years ahead of the "open web".

Looks like this time they won't use HTML5 as piss-poor excuse.

This kind of simple design has grown on me after I tried sourcehut. I kind like it, it's light and snappy, no extra loading bar is needed.

My questions:

- Can you make it a drop-and-play Docker image?

- Why not host JavaScripts like `highlight.js` directly on the Sorcia server? That way LAN-only user will be able use this software as well.
I am not shilling, I found the site just yesterday after much effort in searching and I am usually pretty good at searching. Learning it was basically a family effort: my brother and I have been online since 1993 and he has a librarian degree and I am a software developer / hacker and this combo has led to much expertise. My brother is better -- he can search in languages he can't read or write. It's like a magic trick.
If it is decomposed one-liner -- then likely not often

Corporate Socialism: Government Is Bailing Out Investors and Managers Not You
This false information really needs to die. k8s is a sane choice in many cases not just hyper scale. Regular business apps benefit from rolling upgrades and load balancing between replicas. Managed k8s platforms like GKE make cluster management a breeze. Developer tooling such as Skaffold makes developing with k8s seamless. I expect k8s to continue growing and will soon take over much of the existing Cloud Foundry estate in F500 companies .
That's true of all ICU beds. That's why some hospitals were completely converted to COVID only. The point is to separate them from regular ICU cases because COVID requires BSL3, which is significantly more work than regular patients. In China, this separation was often done well. Italian hospitals may not have had the preparation or resources to properly protect medical staff and other patients.

What if you're an asymptomatic carrier?

The drive-through test sites are pretty well thought out. You're not likely to get the virus from the car in front of you.
Certainly it is a significant contribution, but I have to admit that my mental image when reading someone dicovered an ancient sword is of someone digging it out of the ground.
I used both Unreal and Unity at FAANG. VR and AR apps are obvious use cases but you find the engines in all kind of random places. Especially common in ML research groups for scene and environment understanding

Because bronze was outdated by Roman times (let alone 1000 years later), and high quality weapons were prestigious.

This seems like a somewhat similar idea to the USB Bit Whacker -- UBW <http://www.schmalzhaus.com/UBW/index.html>. The original UBW used a PIC 18F2550 directly connected to USB.
Mayors: Does Gov. Reeves’ coronavirus declaration clash with local orders?
It's a bug in the linux kernel that was introduced in 4.18 and later fixed. You might be ok if you're on a later or newer version.

The symptom primarily seems to manifest that you get heavy throttling even though you haven't actually gotten to your cpu limit yet.

If you're just seeing heavy throttling AND its pegged at the limit, you haven't necessarily hit the issue and should raise the limit first and observe.

Also don't forget to eliminate other possibilities. We initially thought we were experiencing this issue and later discovered the app was just memory constrained and extremely heavy GC during certain operations was causing the throttling.
There's no guarantee that the optimum Vitamin D level is one that the skin can synthesize under even optimal conditions.

It might be. But it could also be more.
To understand why, think about the exponential function. Small differences early on can have ludicrously large effects later.
"CNN even ran an article arguing that the reason not testing as widely was correlated with a higher reported fatality rate (as a percentage of cases) was because widespread testing reduced the fatality rate by simply reducing the number of people who got it, which is... not exactly the right conclusion, shall we say."

It is a factor though, and not a minor one. You test widely enough and you can track, trace, and quarantine your way to containment or at least massively flatten the curve and thereby avoid overwhelming the medical system and spiking CFR. That is exactly what S. Korea did. You didn't link to the article, so it's hard to tell if you are just a troll or not. If the article stated that as a factor, it is not wrong at all. IF the article stated that as THE reason, well it's pretty misleading. Did the media mess up here? We shall never know I guess unless you can produce a link.
There are some fantastic PWAs out there. Twitter is the one I use most regularly.

I think one of the reasons we see a lot of less-polished PWAs is that the idea of the PWA appeals to businesses at certain stages. Larger shops can afford to ship native binaries to more than one platform, but a smaller operation can't. PWAs are presumably tempting to those types of product teams: you get multi-platform reach while truly only writing for the web. The fact that their UIs have rough edges are probably a result of having an MVP-stage product.
Yes and no. There is one benefit to huge winners: they have the cash to invest in R&D. I doubt Google would be building quantum chips if they didn't have a massive cash cow or two to feed that.

Generally only governments and massive cash cow monopolies or near monopolies can afford to invest in basic research. That's because on any time scale shorter than a decade basic research is just setting fire to money. You need money to burn to do it.

How Silicon Valley became California's epicenter of the coronavirus
Don't be cute. Professional Engineer / Chartered Engineer is a "real" engineer. A random coder calling themselves an "engineer" doesn't make them qualified to design and implement life-critical safety systems.
The two times I've tried "Sleep as Android", with different phones and watches (including paired with watch, and ignored), it has produced such utterly garbage data that I don't trust it one bit. Claims sleeping for hours, while awake and walking around (which Wear / Fit detected as walking) (with watch connected, phone has been fine here). Or missing sleep for hours (both watch and not). Or claiming deep/rem cycles while it sits on my dresser (both watch and not).
You're right, because Godot's GUI tooling is incredibly beyond anything Unity offers (and I say that as someone who primarily uses Unity).

Unity's GUI solutions so far are plagued by terrible performance on the common usage scenarios, terribly undocumented when it comes to making your own components, and the layout system is simply a big mess.

While Godot's isn't anything particularly worth praise by itself (especially when compared to dedicated UI toolkits), the simple fact that creating a simple 2-screen interface does not melt a mobile device's CPU puts it far beyond Unity. That, and the layouting is relatively saner.

So much so, that at the company I work for (which is sort of consulting, not products), when we need to do 2D or UI-heavy games, we go to Godot, to the extent of training Unity developers on it instead of trying to make do with Unity's UI.

I do agree on the other points though, Godot is still very young as a community and so the asset store is pretty vacant.
There’s a lot of survivorship bias to stories like this — and a lot of unobservable opportunity costs. Could the company have grown faster if it had invested its resources to the max and leaned on external funding? Could it have become king ape in a related winner takes it all market?
> Unlike file system level encryption it encrypts all data on the disk including file metadata and even free space.

Anyone have a source on how full disk aka block-level encryption encrypts free space? The only way I can imagine this could happen is by overwriting the entire disk initially with random data, so that you can't distinguish between encrypted and true "free space", i.e. on a brand new clean disk. Then, when a file (which, when written, would have been encrypted) is deleted (which by any conventional meaning of the word 'deleted' means the encrypted data is still present, but unallocated, thus indistinguishable from the random data in step 1), then gets overwritten again with random data?

I would argue that overwriting an encrypted file with random data isn't really encrypting free space, but rather just overwriting the data, which already appeared random/encrypted. It is hardly any different to having a cleartext disk and overwriting deleted files with zeros, making them indistinguishable from actual free space.
And 2017 had 365 days, so that amounts to 68 deaths a day. That would mean yesterday was 10 times worse than "flu"
In Europe this is called "August".

But without the social distancing aspect.
Unity currently does not even have a stable solution for multiplayer. The existing one (UNET) works but is slated for obsolecence by a new solution, but that is still very early in development, so you have to reach for third-party tools to be able to work with a supported platform.
The tag's strength doesn't depend on the nonce size in cases where you can use sequential nonces. Longer nonce sizes are valuable only when using randomly allocated nonces and you need to avoid the birthday paradox. 64 bits is considerably longer than the total write lifetime of modern disks. Even if you used a nonce per 512-byte block, you'd need well over a yottabyte of writes to roll through that counter.

The profile that authenticated encryption defends against is an attacker who is attempting to feed the victim specially crafted bad blocks. 128-bit tags are good enough that the disk will be completely trashed long before the victim executes something of the attacker's choosing.
I'm not getting the semantics clear but wonder whether having the icon on the homescreen counts as "visiting" or whether suspending the app first day and reopening it the next day counts app-subjectively as "continuing day one" or "reopening immediately"
I wouldn't justify a lockdown for cars because there are other ways to beat cars than locking everyone in their homes.

Point: I don't have a car, yet I'm locked in my home right now. Hmmmmm.

And yes, I would support forbidding cars altogether for most things they're used for today that can be done with different vehicles.
I also have deep knowledge of JS, from the time one had to make it work on Internet Explorer 6, and believe me C# is not that different, maybe if you want a smoother transition just learn a bit of TypeScript first, then C#. Which btw were both co-created by the same guy, Anders Hejlsberg.

Or a species. Viruses aren’t just for humans.
I hope not. Apple has had substandard support for modern web technologies in Safari for a long time, to the point where it is often referred to in the industry as the new IE. We've had enough of browsers breaking things that used to work in the name of false progress. Time for the grown-ups to take a careful look and see this for what it is.
Hah thought about that but thought the messages would be too easily lost
Yes, even until the Hellenistic era, the weapon of virtue and honour was... the spear.
As exemplified by the poetic sense of a conqueror's demense: his spear-won land.

However, other peoples from deep antiquity held sword to higher regard. Like the Celts and Germans. Especially the Germanic tribes, who couldn't make their own swords and need to win them in trade or raid.

[SPOILER WARNING]

That was so amazing! It starts out kinda eerie and liminal, then it's really cool when you start discovering all these things and learning about the people on the network (I stan Luna btw), then it becomes really dark and depressing when you start absorbing everyone. Extremely great atmosphere and storytelling!

There are two occasions where you need more hard drive space than you ever get (the Parappa the Rapper game which is 694mb and analyzing the sandbox network which is 10mb). Can you actually do anything with that or are those just ambient props?

Also can you just not convert anything to PowerPC+CellOS by yourself or have I missed something there (perhaps with the sony.key)?

Time Quest is also amazing. I had to quit after my first attempt because I felt like I could poor an endless amount of time into it.
"You're ignoring the economic damage." No i am not.

"You can't shut down the economy for more than a few weeks before supply chains fall apart and you start running out of food and necessities, not to mention anything more complicated. "

The California shut down has no affect on food and consumer necessity supply chains.

"Also, you're making decisions based on pure panic in the absence of reliable information"

This is not pure panic and there is information, and we know EXACTLY how to model in the uncertainties and confidence intervals surrounding best estimates of CFR, R0, etc. We have very good numbers from S. Korea. We have very good numbers from Diamond Princess and we can stratify based on age and prior health status and cross-check with Korea. WE are not in a blind panic. The press is not fear mongering. We are running out/ have run out of ventilators in NY. It has already TODAY gotten much worse very fast, and it should be no surprise to anyone who was paying attention to Italy two weeks ago. 1K deaths today, following an exponential growth pattern makes the numbers VERY scary in two weeks and that's assuming our healthcare system is not overwhelmed.

"but that's why we're ramping up testing so massively"

Are we? Not yet? And why not? Because Trump didn't want his numbers to look bad so he ordered the CDC to insist all tests were run through them. Now our country is scrambling to catch up. We will ramp up testing, I am sure. It is in the works, but we still haven't actually done it on the scale we really need. NY is getting sort of close, but not really. Even they have to at least double. EVERYWHERE else in the U.S. is laughably behind.
i don’t doubt it. But that’s what he said. Very few people alive in this specific field with this much domain knowledge. Are you his peer in this respect ?
This just sounds like a great reason to not use Safari. I switched to iOS recently, but I’m a dedicated Firefox user, so I personally don’t touch it except when I’m forced to by other apps opening links. (I was honestly REALLY disappointed in Apple when I realized that you’re not allowed to set a default browser besides safari, but that’s another story)

Forgive me, I’m a long time Android user, but do a lot of people choose to use safari as their main iOS browser, or are the usage numbers inflated because of the vendor lock in?
Kubernetes is not really that complex. It has primitives that cover a huge number of needs, so it can be complex when needed to solve complex problems, or simple when you're solving a simple problem.

I get the feeling people glance over the documentation and assume that you MUST use every single feature. Most of the features are only there when you need them for supporting advanced use.
Played this game for years and it’s the reason I was so convinced COVID-19 would spread globally.

The mild to low symptoms it shows in many people combined with potentially spreading before symptoms even show... is very reminiscent of the kinds of strategies I developed for building successful plagues while playing this game
I don't think it's a good gauge, because established variables are never evaluated the same way as new variables.

This is true in many fields. For example, if you said 30 years ago that everyone should carry all the counter-privacy implications of a smartphone in their pockets at all times, how do you think people would react?

Is it reasonable to expect people to freak out en masse about it today? No it's not. Why is a bigger question but i suspect you instinctively know that I'm correct here.

Does that mean smartphones are a net good on privacy? No. The negatives still exist even if people accept them.

Does that mean the negatives outweigh the good, and we should all throw away our smartphones? No, I don't think so either. The positives are massive. But introducing them today would give us the opportunity to address the privacy issues ahead of time.
The lowest common denominator is not having the application available on your platform at all.
Technically, when you rent a movie, you are not allowed to invite friends over to watch it with you. By renting the title, you were granted a temporary private viewing license. Inviting people over constituted a public viewing. Copyright laws are ludicrous.
I could say the opposite. My son was sick 3 times prior to entering school, we took care of him at home until age 5. Each resolved in a day or so. Upon attending school, he’s got his share of colds and a fever or two, and clears them out quickly.
>it doesn't actually sync across the viewers? (start time, play/pause)
