Uhmm confirmed cases.. I don't know why you're calculating population.
Opposing view - I really like it. Each tweet is a reasonable succinct piece of information that stands on its own. For me, it doesn't feel like a commitment to read like a medium article does.

Very similar to how I find movies hard to watch because of the length, but will happily binge a TV series.
I just tried jitsi today to have a meeting with two students. We could not manage to get it to work, the three of us at the same time. We could hear each other perfectly (better than zoom, actually) but never three videos at the same time. Every time we restarted the browsers a different person appeared as a static image (no video).

I am rooting for the jitsi developers to fix the browser issues. I'm still recommending it to everybody, but I cannot do it with a straight face when it still has these simple issues and the damn "FIREFOX BAD" at the beginning.
Python 3.7+ only.
True, however, sometimes Slack is like if someone put the water cooler in your office, and then started having meetings around the water cooler in your office while you were working and then expected you to be even more productive.
Does it also have support for managing scans/photographs? I have about 10 Gbyte of images with respect to a research project about art works. The images also contain scans of materials. I would like to extract facts from these documents and maintain a link between those links and the scans. This means being able to annotate a part of an image, which for example is a text with an illustration or a mentioning of a certain art work.

No, that's the one---but they just updated to a subscription model, which I was unaware of. I have the 'boring' normal version of the app still.
I’ve heard this point made a lot, that these “bailouts” are in any way equivalent to previous bailouts based on poor management and immoral business practices.

These aren’t the same. This shutdown (however justified) is because of the govt. If the government demands you shut down your business, or that you can’t go to work, you deserve to be compensated for that. If the government hadn’t mandated it, young people would still be out working and spending. Those businesses would be fine. If the govt wants to shut everything down, they have to pay people for it.
Numbers related to the outbreak that are meaningful without denominators (since we don't have any and won't until long after things get back to some semblance of normalcy). Seems like this would be hospitalizations (due to covid) and deaths (due to covid). Those are numbers where the volume (as opposed to the rate) are the signal.
For some reason, it seems impossible it build a long-lasting blog host. He didn't use Wordpress, Blogger (I'd ignore these, too), or Medium for this. My guess is that the network effects of social media are so strong that it's better to post a poorly formatted essay to a platform meant for shorter comments than to post it (and link) to a site that no one visits as a destination.

> The Huawei SSH key is a little strange, but depressingly common for network equipment, even big names like Cisco...

There’s an understandable reason for this: the isp’s staff aren’t necessarily any more competent than the isp’s customers (some are, but there are so many ISPs that I suspect they are now a small minority). So just at the isp wants to be able to reset your interface devices remotely, so will Huawei and Cisco support for the ISPs themselves.

I am not implying that “understandable” means “justified”

I use this all the time, it's a great way to collect papers about different topics and easily add them to writeups. The option to keep a bibtex bibliography updated in real time is especially helpful. All it takes to add a new source is a single click on Firefox and then just cite in latex/docs/word.

Notice that it is also a much better travis. The fact that build jobs are not necessarily matched with repos is a very liberating experience.
When Ridesharing Replaces Public Transportation
It wouldn't be the first time something like this happened, either. Russia accidentally released Anthrax[1] from one of their facilities in the late 70's, and it killed over 100 people in the neighboring town. Of course they tried to cover it up, and the truth did not come out until much later.

> if your site has been added to the home screen and your web app manifest has a value for the “display” property like “standalone” or “full screen”, the seven day timer doesn’t apply

IMO this is 100% fully reasonable as a design decision from Apple. "Regular websites" should not be able to use my device as permanent storage. 7 days is more than enough.

By having users add an app to the homescreen, it creates this great UX divide where users know that this isn't a "regular website" because it is "installed" on their phone.

I actually think this is a clever decision coming from Apple. Yes, it messes with your flow, and now you have to add a 2-sentence banner telling your users to add your app to the homescreen. No, just because it creates a small UX roadbump for your website does not mean that Apple should compromise on privacy and security.
LICEcap is a good bit of software. I also really enjoy OBS which allows for narration.
It is absolutely a PWA, and an excellent one at that. You can add it to your home screen on the desktop and mobile platforms that support it; they have all the trappings of a native application including notifications support, background refresh, etc.
I totally agree and for the most part really dislike Twitter. I feel its format really encourages _very_ bad communication and does a lot of harm.

But, I think the reason people do this is because it will hook more people. You've already read the first tweet, the second one is right there, next thing you know you're reading the whole thing. If it was a link to a blog post, far fewer people would click to read it.
The problem with this (and Mendeley, Papers, Bibtex, etc.) is that each paper/thought is isolated. Roam Research (http://roamresearch.com/) is my new jam.
As far as I'm aware, UK doesn't have a law like this, but I've never had a situation where an ISP cared, they just tell you that if you have problems they might not be able to help. I think you get interop issues with TV and landline with those ISPs where everything is bundled into one fibre, but the internet bit usually works fine.
Markets are highly volatile and largely driven by emotions. The impact is not yet fully seen and will manifest in the next 6-12 months. In the short-term, cash is the most valuable asset. In the long-term, it doesn't matter as much.
I am sad that Forth did not make the list.

It showed how to make a minimal programming language that runs in a very small amount of space with just a stack. And did a lot to popularize RPN notation.

Even if you do not write in Forth, you can still benefit from knowing the ideas. For example I could not have written my answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/60817908/585411 if I did not know the ideas of Forth.

Facebook bans your account if someone posted racist content on your photos
Please help me!

TL;DR: My little brother, a popular streamer in our country(Morocco) is a victim of some users that are banning his Facebook profile and cyber bullying him on twitch where he streams(https://www.twitch.tv/lilpunishow). Not just him but other popular local streamers as well and I cannot do anything about it!

Lately people are victims to what appears to be a bug that's being used intentionally , I'll explain:
Basically, the malicious user can go to any post on your Facebook page, mainly your cover photo since it's public and comment on it with a photo that contains racist material(hate against certain people, religions...) once he does this he immediately report your account saying that you posted a content that severely violates Facebook's Community Standards followed by a permanent deactivation of your Facebook account even though you had nothing to do with it as you can see in the picture below:
https://i.imgur.com/4wF1f1n.png

We both tried to reach out to Facebook support but with no success...

Whenever he creates another account(you have to use a different name and a different email) he gets banned again and it got him really frustrated since he needs to stay in touch with his fans and friends

This is once of the pictures that were the reason for the banning. bare in mind that it's racist I do not mean to offend anyone when posting here, but, to show it so I can get help
Link to picture: https://i.imgur.com/YIMBPAb.png

Please I'm asking your help so that this can reach the people at Facebook, who can do something about and prevent such thing from ever happening again. Thank you!
Delphi Compatibility Under WINE
It's a bit worse than that. The infrastructure isn't actually defunded, there are huge funds allocated to projects, but they're being consumed by managers at Deloitte, Lockheed, Booz Allen, Accenture, etc. The times when we see success is when enough funding trickled down to the few engineers who could make it work with what they get. Other times we see success is when there is enough public oversight by sufficiently independent stake holders. I see this in many local government agencies that are small, and projects accountable to city council, and so on.
My thought was that prolog is now mostly used in colleges around the world to teach students basic concepts within AI. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Would love to see examples where Prolog is used in real life!
In a given area, yes. But with globalization we also got forewarning, and information from those in earlier areas.

Under a less intertwined system, this likely would have spread heavily within each area, and that area would have little info form outside on what to do. Every place a potential Wuhan.
Check out the "better bibtex" extension to zotero for exporting to bib files, I find it helps with unicode/utf-8 characters and might fix that alphabetical problem.

At the start of this outbreak, people were blaming Africans for eating bushmeat from wetmarkets using less than civil rhetoric, then later scientists traced the source of the outbreak to kids playing in an hallow tree where bats roosted. Wetmarkets do need to be either modernized or eliminated, but that doesn't mean initial speculation is correct.
> I thought it was bats to pangolins to humans

You’re correct [1]. Thank you.

> Each tweet is a reasonable succinct piece of information that stands on its own

You mean like paragraphs? What's the difference?

Is it that the platform forces people to have reasonably sized paragraphs in the form of tweets?
From the link:

> 9500 free CSL citation styles.

Should I ask how it has come to be that there are 9500 citation styles? Or will it make me angry and depressed at the lack of cooperation and widely accepted standards?
This depends on the will of the Chinese government. They instituted bans on exotic wildlife selling and farming shortly after SARS, but then rolled it back when the furor died down.

Exotic animals in wet markets are not consumed by the majority of the population; this is mostly driven by the Chinese rich. The industry has survived creating its first pandemic due to its lobbying power; let's see how it rides out the second one.

Yes, but in the meantime, that nurse is homeless. These examples are when you need rapid community involvement to buffer until the justice system can step in (which has some latency).

In the case of unlawful evictions, we have a network of people who will take someone in (as well as our family if we can) until an attorney friend (IANAL yet) can file suit against the landlord. Shelters can be suboptimal (and downright fraught with peril) depending on the location and their resources.

Let us not forget these examples in the future of policy and social service gaps that need fixing.
Good, and we've never actually had communism, socialism, or hell even a proper monarchy before and any empirical criticism thereof is obviously unfounded.
> What is more crazy is that there is no international pressure for China to at least temporarily close down that research institute.

Why is that crazy? Unless you're suspecting the Chinese of designing a fairly dull viral weapon that they first released on their own people, I'm not sure why anyone would care to go through the doors.

Sweet jungle meat from a wet market is the likely source, as with many of these kinds of virii over the centuries.
Machine learning is still too hard to use

I've argued this on HN plenty of times and I get drowned out by people telling me that they like bacon too much and that "well e-coli can spread on lettuce too so we might as well keep breeding hundreds of billions of animals per year and keeping them in filthy conditions in close proximity."

For a very scientific community, you absolutely hit a brick wall as soon as you tell a typically unhealthy group of people that eating meat is a massive public health hazard.
It already looks like New Orleans and Atlanta are also on the brink of overwhelming their hospitals as well. What's happening in NYC is just a preview of what many US cities are going to be dealing with very soon.
Even if you have unlimited virus tests, antibody tests are extremely useful. The one combined with the other demonstrates recovery as opposed to pre-infection. Supposedly antibody tests can also be made field-deployable much easier than virus tests.
Facebook doesn't care, and nobody can help you.

I know more people who've had hospitalisation levels of illness from lettuce than meat, raw or otherwise. My wife was recently made very ill from some salad leaves.

The vast majority of all food poisoning comes from greens. Not meat.

Plenty of folks die from Salmonella and E. Coli outbreaks
They also did this after SARS for a short bit. Let's see how long it lasts.
Why enclose PWA in quotes? Just curious. I use Twitter's PWA weekly on more than one platform and it works great for me, but that's just one person's opinion. I prefer it over their native clients for a lot of reasons, but the main value-add is that I don't have to give Twitter access to detailed information about my system while still using a full-featured, first-party client.
Maybe 3-4 days. I have never been confined to bed for longer with or without flu shot. In terms of headache and other pain the flu shot times were among the worst.

Maybe it's a level deeper, the down-voters objecting to the assumption that 'he' can't be called 'Isabella'!

(I haven't voted either way and have no strong feelings on it, just pointing out how doomed this line of objection/correction is. Personally I generally say 'they' or 'the OP', and did long before (all my life) I was aware of anyone having pronoun preferences, it's just correct isn't it? Never used to be a problem. 'Is that a person over there?' 'Yes, they're just in a funny pose.')
I think "we already know" is a little strong. Here's the only place I can find the paper they refer to: https://gofile.io/?c=D4zfxD

It is one page long, not peer reviewed, and says "96% or 89% identical". If I were a journalist, I think I would at least want to have an expert review the citations for those numbers, and the evidence that this particular virus was present at those labs.
My initial response to this is... duh. How many governments have ordered people not to work. Is it surprising that all those people would then file for not working benefits?

Of course not. Its an artificial unemployment spike (provoked by very real, fundamental forces in the world i.e. covid-19).

It will be VERY interesting to watch how state governments react to this spike. The federal government has monopoly money but state governments are VERY MUCH concerned with debt levels.

We'll see how long these isolation orders last. States will have to chose between unemployment, pensions, welfare programs, transit operations, etc. I wonder who gets the axe first. You could very easily see states go bankrupt and whole classes of the social safety net depleted for a generation.
I work at an ISP of sorts. It is a regional research and education network. We are owned by our members. Heterogeneity is definitely par for the course, but that does not stop us from trying to roll out some ubiquity where we can. Many of our CPE routers are the same make and model, and that makes maintenance and analysis much less error prone. I.e. better service for our member institutions.

If you want an ISP whose competitive advantage is dealing with whatever crazy shit the edge throws at it, then that is your prerogative. But having some ground rules and baseline behavior makes it so that the ISP can focus on more rewarding tasks, such as negotiating peerings, establishing direct tunnels, improving network observability, and predicting necessary backbone upgrades.

It's nonsense to say Republicans worry about offshoring. They consistently oppose amendments and bills trying to stop it. They consistently support tax policies that incentivize it.

https://aflcio.org/2017/11/8/republicans-defeat-stop-outsour...

https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-budget/39628...

Republicans have been pro-global free trade for decades, until Donald Trump won the presidency on a protectionist platform. Republicans in Congress were opposed to Trump's tariffs before rolling over and at least not fighting him on them. But as most of their campaign contributions come from pro-global free trade and not domestic labor, they still consistently oppose amendments trying to reign in offshoring. Their "worry" is only that they'd get caught having a public message that's different than their actual votes on legislation.

The Democratic party, for decades, have been pro-labor and pro-union platform. And it's fair to say in the past decade they are split between moderate free trade and weak support of domestic labor and unions. This weakness no doubt cost them votes in 2016.
This feels like more of a criticism of libc/glibc to me. In either case, it makes me glad that Go doesn't lean so heavily on libc/glibc (even though everyone complains endlessly about bugs like those that happened that one time MacOS made a syscall API change to the effect that users needed to update their binaries).
Also worth noting is that the term conspiracy theory is itself traceable to psyops.
Time will tell. In a year, we'll actually have much better evidence about how different systems fared. Right now, both the market-based US system and the public systems in Europe are being put to the test.

I suspect that they will both have failures and successes that will largely be localized and that we'll find out that those features that made a healthcare system robust don't correlate that much with being a public system or a market system. It will probably correlate more strongly with culture.
I'd argue it's just as important right now to take the coronavirus as a massive warning and stop doing what we are currently doing. It's only a matter of time before this happens again - Bill Gates predicted this would happen back in 2015 in a Ted talk.
I don't remember who said it, but someone who tended to post twitter threads noted that they have massive anxiety about writing things, and would/have never managed to write a normal blog post, whereas a tweet is just below the threshold of what is Too Much for them. So, for some authors, we can choose between hearing nothing, or reading a thread of tweets.
I imagine antibody tests are very very useful for spotting people have already contracted the disease, recovered and may therefore have a degree of immunity.
It's valueded because it's wild and natural, they don't care about the costs, many of the eaters show off this dish on social media coz they are rich and powerful, and won't be punished for eating endangered animals.

And it's not that exotic meats are all delicious so people prize them, what flavor do shark fins/cubilose have? It's the supposed power they got.

Burdock was also one of the authors of “The Ugly American”.

Unlike popular usage of that phrase, the “Ugly American” was the hero, out working with people in the field, not getting dressed up, or showered, and not hanging out in the diplomatic circuit.

It was a strong condemnation of the kind of out of touch foreign policy and operations that lead to the viet Nam war and countless foreign policy disasters that have followed since.

Written in 1958, discussed widely, and yet made zero impact.
where did sk get all their tests? they didnt know about cov2 before the outbreak. seems we could fast track test production, or do whatever they did
I used Mendeley to keep track of papers during my PhD. It was really a fantastic piece of software.

Too bad they sold out to the dark side. After they were acquired, I switched to Zotero, but I wasn't doing active research anymore by then, so I don't have as much experience of using Zotero. On the surface it looks pretty good though.
I suggest by campaigning to bring logic and critical thinking into early childhood education. Then philosophy, the classics. Science education.

Once you have more people who can understand that there are scientific and moral issues with manifest destiny, and religion isn't going to solve global warming, there will be some shifts in the public discourse and public policies.
Nice username for such a comment. I approve!
A college professor taught me about Zotero during my last semester. Awesome tool, but I wish I learned about it years before. I try and teach every student I meet about it.
