Classic scam used to just be faxing an invoice to a small business. Good bet the office manager will just pay it. Now people do the same thing by email, I periodically get emailed invoices for small painting jobs that I assume come from some scammer thinking I'm in the property management business.

As discussed at length in the excellent book "Lying for Money" by Dan Davies, these kinds of scam exploit the trust that exists in the business world and perhaps most destructive in the way that they destroy that trust. Having to spend extra time verifying the provenance every invoice or bill you receive is the kind of thing that, in aggregate, becomes a huge cost and irritation.
SARS-CoV-2 is a bit overwrought. A semi official short version would be helpful.

SARS was easy.

SARS2 seems okay.

CV19 is easy enough.

So on. Officials should pick something that’s shorter and easier (but still specific) as the informal name.
Every element has 0 margin by default in Tailwind, meaning this is never a problem.

The only other case where I can imagine an element being improperly spaced is when its parent’s padding is messed up.
Pretty misleading headline.

The world is relying on Big Tech to fight Covid-19 – can they handle it?
"Real Developer" -- I mean, besides scammers, is there such a thing like a "Fake developer" ?

I mean, if someone hires me as a Developer, and I happen to be real, does that qualify me as a "Real Developer" ?

Not an attorney, but if a customer or partner asked, I'd happily go unplug Alexa for the remainder of the call. For me, it's a glorified light switch and there's only one lamp in my house that has a hard-to-reach switch (it's on a non-switched outlet behind the sofa).
Functional programming builds immutable semantics as an abstraction on top of mutable semantics. This abstraction layer includes internal optimizations that elide unnecessary copying, such as persistent data structures and "list fusion." When you're processing a list, the compiler can optimize away intermediate sublists. If you "copy" a list or sublist in Haskell, you don't actually get a copy, you get a new pointer to the same physical data, which is safe because it's immutable and garbage collected.

A key premise of functional programming is that the constraints of immutable semantics free the compiler up to do all sorts of performance optimizations, and the compiler can apply those optimizations much faster than a human developer can.

Also, when you really need a vector that you can mutate in place, you can still do that. Haskell has a mutable vector type. It's not the default idiom, but if you needed to sort a billion numbers in place, this is what you would use. Note all the function names prefixed with "unsafe": https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector-0.12.1.2/docs/Dat...
The best of both worlds would be to come up with a precise, "inconvenient" name, then create an acronym from it.
Because you were a professional, as the post you replied to implied.
While I am familiar with Urbit's origins, I think the article in question could very easily fit into an anarchist framework.

Just because the original creator was a neoreactionary does not entail that the software is intended to (or even can) promote the establishment of a neoreactionary political system.
Could you elaborate on why you think this is a worse reincarnation of Screenhero? Are there specific features we’re missing?

Also, there is no way to make a web app that does what Screen does. If there were, we’d have built a purely web-based app.

With Screen’s desktop app, you can share your screen TO someone on the web, but they need the app to share their screen, since multiplayer drawing and control can’t be done otherwise.
Great point, but it would probably send us into the dark ages when people refuse to re-start the chain of debt. People are def afraid of this possibility, hence the gun shop lines wrapped around the block. Debt: The first 5000 years is a great book that explains details of what would likely happen.
I am starting to see it referred to as "C-19," or "C19."
Stupid question: Couldn't they still have held it, but athletes/coaches/refs only, no spectators present, and no competitions involving physical contact?
Excellent article. When I started freelance writing for a living, I quickly learned that time spent preparing is rarely time wasted. It is much easier to get the words on the page if I am prepared with research, outlines, and ideas. I can focus on making sure they're the right words in the right order rather than hunting for information and worrying about structure.
There is also a reverse problem. Some people are dying of heart attacks and are testing positive COVID-19, and are being counted even though it's unlikely the COVID-19 had anything to do with it.
According to Wikipedia, the term phishing (or fishing) originated in the mid-1990s
I support renaming the Spanish flu to the ever-so-spiffy "maybe American maybe Chinese maybe English flu".

This article is cribbed from one that was discussed 4 days ago:

And the result of that was immense discrimination against, and fear of, the people from that region. Similar to many people now blaming anyone they perceive to be Chinese.

I am also a big privacy advocate so I set up my Echos so that they only listen when I press the button on the top of the device or say the keyword "Alexa". And just because I am extremely worried about big tech surveillance, I've even configured the device so that whenever it is "listening" it illuminates a blue light.

I know -- I'm getting close to a tinfoil hat level of paranoia here but you can't be too careful these days.
So much for the "Apple doesn't sell your data" malarkey.
Do you know of any website that accepts them? I've seen them on some exchanges, but the current procedure is to sell them directly. Who's buying them (besides speculators)?
I do wish that, as with all these things, this was opt-in rather than opt-out. I don't want data harvesting to be the default, although I understand that it's been this way for years.

These are all unsubstantiated claims that I am pushing back on against the mainstream narrative. Can you cite data for:

Or, better yet, call it COVID-19. Slightly more specific than just coronavirus. Yes, COVID is the disease, not the organism, but for most common uses in everyday speech, that's probably ok.

Oh yes. Sorry if I suggested otherwise. But the OP is naive to think that religion doesn’t make very, very real enemies of people.

There's no free win option here. Every choice has its cost.

That social support system has to come from taking a slice out of the economy. And who is going to be paying for that social support system while the economy is shut down? There's no god of socialism who will simply rain infinite amounts of manna upon us in the form of debt just because we will it to happen.
Not to function - but it certainly helps at the moment when the majority of the world is in crisis mode.

Well, there’s no “component” by default in Tailwind. I was addressing the “component with margins” problem in the article.

Crowdsourced virtual supercomputer revs up virus research
If you look at tourism in countries and international plane flight history, along with the size of a country. It's a given, at some stage in this Virus life-cycle.

However, what the WHO need to do it act as part of the problem over many missed opportunities that will now playout whatever happens and with that, the USA will see it become the epicenter soon.

But long term, there are countries with less medical and health standards that are large and with lesser international flights, bit behind the growth rate. But they will only catch up and eventually overtake and what will the WHO do in preventing that? Beyond a tweet saying how XXX country is now the epicenter and solve nothing.

We have seen some bad misinformation come out from WHO and with that, this latest comment from them fits into the other form of output - unhelpful and too late to stop, whatever will happen.

China's population density is skewed lower due to uninhabitable and sparsely inhabited mountains and deserts in Xinjiang and Tibet that make up about half the country. Without those regions China's population density doubles to around 300/km2.
"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The value of a submission like this is the specific new phenomenon it's about. Generic discussion, especially generic ideological discussion, is always the same and therefore off topic on HN. The NHS in general, or healthcare systems in general, are as generic a topic as it gets.

I'm sure you had no intention of starting a flamewar, yet you can see the incipient flamewar already in the few replies this comment received.
Seems to me like Taiwan reacted to an emergency as soon as information was available, while Western countries ignored the emergency until things got so bad they couldn't be ignored anymore.
During my brief visit to the Midlands many years ago, the U.K. seems to have a community cohesion that we don’t have much in the US (many rescue services are non profit and operate exclusively with volunteers for example). They will benefit from it through efforts such as this.
TL;DR: Korea, Taiwan, China are fighting COVID effectively avoiding country-locked-at-home mode.

Major tool for that is the total control on population, e.g. using smartphones and other technical means.

The fact: people and society in general there have different mentality historically. Population density was significantly more high there in thousands of years.

And so, in these thousands of years, population agreed on far smaller "privacy radius" by giving up personal privacy, generation by generation.

As of "privacy radius", consider population of Korea - 52 mln and population of Canada - 38 mln. While territory of Canada is 100,000 times larger.

So in East Asia you can technically implement total control of each person. Countries have infrastructure and acceptance of population already.

Therefore they can fight such problems effectively.

But on other hand high density of the population is a breeding bullion for next such COVIDs ...
I've always been a little confused about the asymmetric concern (at least from the vocal majority) of Alexa/Google Home vs all of the other devices constantly around us that are capable of recording and transmitting. If I were willing to surreptitiously spy on my users I wouldn't constrain myself to only devices with in-your-face voice recording capabilities. I have an Echo among the dozens of internet connected devices in my home, but the Echo is the only one most people will show concern about.
Margin is a CSS property; using it (or not) is entirely consistent with semantic HTML. The "spacer" component in the article can be achieved with gaps using CSS grid.
Do people actually find these devices useful or is it just a gimmick? I'm relatively young, but I've never used my voice to control a piece of software before. It doesn't appear to be useful compared to manual entry.
Thanks! So that means H264/VP9-based conferencing (-- EDIT but VP8 isn't mentioned, and that's what WebRTC uses, right? -- EDIT2 oh, VP8 is mentioned in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D65536 , looks accelerated too, cool --) will be accelerated in Firefox on Wayland. Great, one more reason to move away from a wmctrl-dependent script I use, and switch to Wayland.

One more question, in case you know about it:

- Regarding Zoom/Slack/Skype/etc, okay, I'm not surprised: no one uses Linux, so from a money perspective, fixing this is ill-spent engineer time.

- However, I'm surprised that acceleration could be missing in Chrome+Linux too, because Google must have worked on it to ship a good Google Meet experience on Chromebooks. Am I missing anything? (Is there a flag / dependency / binary package I could need to enable it in non-Chromebook Chrome?) Is video acceleration really positively nonexistent on Chrome/Chromium on Linux?
I'm going to guess that you're no where near having to actually make that decision for your self, thus you're comfortable making that statement on behalf of others.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22675097
I thought it would be a lean management or economics piece of how low margins are essential to a smooth economy. Or a denouncing thereof. You know, in the days of hospitals being run on just-in-time deliveries.
Not going to happen. Markdown has been a godsend to me in getting my thoughts in writing in a way others can consume, which is critical in my business. My time is already at a premium, and Markdown is both readable to technical and non-technical users, as well as easily parsable to other formats.

This blog post doesn't get it. It immediately starts touting advanced complex features as a benefit. The benefit of Markdown is the absence of advanced complex features. It's my absolute guarantee that what I write is readable and understandable to all audiences and can easily be converted into rich HTML docs with embedded media.

I am not going to stop using Markdown any time soon, and I hope nobody else does either.
Because then the designer comes back and decides to change that spacing by 5% on one page, but not another. And now you're using the same spacer component across your entire application, so you're adding config to a component that needs to be documented and learned by the next developer using it. Instead, just express that spacing in CSS that is specific to a page. Use mixins if you like to set a base default spacing, then extend it whenever needed. Application/component structure should be completely divorced from presentation. It's literally the same problem we had with <table> based layouts.
I don't mind giving up Markdown for writing docs, but only if we all agree to use Org-mode text instead.
The term was coined in the 90s, but didn't get widespread usage until the mid-2000s. So yes, technically it had that name already, but no one used it then.
Is it SARS-CoV-2 or is it 2019-nCoV? Seems to depend on the context.
Ohio has the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals which are some of the best hospitals in the country, if not the world. Social distancing and shelter in place has been extremely effective here. A nurse that I know said the hospital he works in currently has no coronavirus cases in ICU. I think in some places where population density is extremely high this will continue to be a huge issue, but in many other places (I'm in the Cleveland area) I think things are already close to the peak
>In 1976, Ebola virus (EBOV) was first identified in Yambuku, 111 kilometers (69 mi) from the Ebola River, but Peter Piot decided to name it after the river so that the town would not be associated with the disease's stigma.

There is an irony in linking to that Wiki article that states that Ebola was not named after the town it was discovered for the exact reason some are saying COVID-19 shouldn't be named after Wuhan or China.
Sadly, this is the case at many major CS research universities. I'm working on my Master's in Cybersecurity at one of these universities and most of the papers we read are something the professor co-authored in '08 or '09. Network security, and most security classes in general, are being taught 15 year old material.

> † The network security course taught at major CS research universities was written at one place like 10 years ago and shared and handed down from semester to semester; I assume something similar happens here.

This couldn't ring more true, in my experience. Whats worse is that each year the material is lightly modified so that you're also dealing with 10 years of revisions creating an incoherent mess.
Tried it out - really good! It's fast enough that it may actually work for pair programming and was super easy to use. Thanks and can't wait to test this with my team mates this week.
I can’t tell if you’re joking. Acronyms always overlap with some other meaning causing misunderstanding.
I’ve posted a top level comment addressing this issue since it’s probably best to have the discussion in one place.

But yes, we didn’t hear from anyone in our private beta that there was any confusion regarding our name, and we ourselves completely missed the fact that GNU Screen exists with this name. I’m sorry for the confusion, and we will revisit our naming decision.
Org-mode is another powerful alternative to markdown. Github can render org-mode documentation.
To get around this problem I just use a simple command-line utility that I wrote called gitswitch that I call whenever I jump to a new project. My name never changes but my email does, so that's all the utility changes. I suppose it would be neat to build in profiles, but I jump between 2-3 PCs regularly and would probably forget to update my profiles.

The “Spanish flu” originated in Kansas. Naming Ebola after the region severely stigmatized people from that region.

Leishmaniasis is named after a person.

HIV and AIDS were originally called GRID, which severely hampered research, funding, and treatment.

So you’re arguing based on a faulty premise.

Documentation is a form of writing on the web. Am I missing something?
That's an issue as many live in pockets and those pockets are dense in populus. So population density needs to be looked at on a city/town basis as counting all those deserts and farming land etc, to dilute the numbers can skew perspective.
