Given that there's an accute shortage of hospitals serving rural areas, regulation of that nature better be accompanied by federal funding for that work.

I know that this is more of an announcement of the recognition of the misattribution of an artifact in the museum’s collection, but I am more curious of it’s provenance; specifically, how it made its way into the museum’s collection. And what its original archaeological context was.
With so much money on the line, hedge funds and other trading firms focus a lot of effort on marketing and building up a perception that they truly are something special (at least those that take outside client money). Internally, things could be rather mundane, and even downright awful (from a technology perspective). Not commenting on Jane Street in particular, just the industry in general.

the sheer amount of money in American politics amazes me. Here in Germany, which is no small country, the largest parties maybe spend 20 million over an entire election cycle. And the discrepancy to the small parties is maybe 10x or so. And I find that obscene already

The Bloomberg numbers shocked me too. 400 million or something before the general election has even started, you could probably feed tens of thousands of starving children with that kind of cash, and they're blowing it on TV ads

Now I have started using Figma on my Mac which already has Sketch; and I find it very liberating (can continue work when I move from home-office-home, without needing to carry a 3 pound machine), and also see no difference in my productivity - no performance issues, all features present that I need.

Ask HN: Help me with my side project?
I live in an apartment block of 87 units & one thing most people in it complain about is the poor cellular data reception.

I have an idea of installing a fast wifi internet connection throughout the building & hopefully making money in the process.

The problem however, is that I have very little experience in networking.
Any reccomended resources that you think may be of assistance to me are highly anticipated!

I however have some questions;

1. What's the best way to handle load balancing of connections from all 87 clients?

2. What type of routers should I use?

3. Is it possible to make everyone use/see the same SSID instead of having names like "Apartment Wifi 1", "Apartment Wifi 2", "Apartment Wifi 3" e.t.c

4. How do I ensure that that the building's walls have the least impact
on the WiFi network? Further, what are the techniques, tips or tricks for achieving this? For instace, do I need special hardware (special routers designed to solve this problem for example?)

5. Also, how do I handle billing for such a custom built WiFi service? Any open source tools for example?

Hi all,

Real quick response.

The tests are designed to only test for SARS-CoV-2, we've trialed them against other coronaviruses and common viruses in general. Will differentiate.

Will reveal tech on swab, but it's not the swab itself, it's combined with a reactive reagent in the kit to show clear results.

Test differentiation is clear to medical professionals, but perhaps not general public, this product is only to support professionals. We are in development of a cheap and rapid antigen test that can detect ASAP before symptoms and buys us a few days headstart. It's coming.

Testing for antibodies is still very important as people continue to shed a viral load post recovery in many cases and this should be a clear enough reason for that person to enter isolation of some description.

Working the hardest with what we have and will keep moving forward.

Thanks for your interest and support!

But that's true for any data store. This isn't any different. Nor is an RDBMS. They all need HA/replication. And that is rarely trivial.

I feel like the jane street tech blog has exceptionally good quality, with a really nice mix of academic and practical ideas thrown in. Do you happen to know of any other video series with this kind of exposition?
When was the last time you used it? I found it straightforward and not so many knobs to twist. ACLs and cert management can be a bit of a PITA the first time (especially the former, and it’s something you really want to do before you’re replying on Consul for mission-critical stuff), but that’s about it. Still, those two things are mainly confusing due to poor documentation and not that complicated once you get up to speed, so it’s mainly the first time you do a new setup.

CRaft: An Erasure-Coding-Supported Version of Raft for Reducing Storage Cost
Completely different tact here: I want you to think about people’s favorite ads. Many people have consciously chosen favorite ads—like Budweiser commercials or some of the Geico series or Flo from Progressive Insurance or the entire joke that the ads are better than the Super Bowl or “
MailKimp” from Serial or a million other things. People line their dorm rooms with vodka ads from magazines or Apple print ads. Many more things are ads but not consciously perceived as ads, like the Hollywood sign or Instagram influencers, or Rolex watches, or in your example the BMW logo.

What do people’s favorite ads all have in common? No one likes targeted ads. At best, people like when you do a search and get geographically relevant results. But that’s not even tracking, just IP location. Everyone loves ads but no one likes targeted ads.
> But don't get the impression that tenure provides much protection for unorthodox views.

I understand. I just think every degree of security/authority is a degree of "flexibility" (not quite "freedom") within the institutional structure of academia. Which is on par with totalitarian-oriented structures.

> If the higher ups want to get rid of you, they'll find a way

I am very curious who are the "higher-ups" in an institution dedicated to the production and enrichment of intelligence within humanity? If you are a brilliant professor exercising scientific thinking against your own establishment, then who really is considered "higher" than you? Are these higher ups objectively more intelligent? Perhaps, sometimes. But, my guess is the vast majority of the time these higher ups are just politically-savvy administrators who are just in it for the prestige and money. Science has become adulterated by the same incentive structures as religion e.g., endowments, donations, etc. It is not run for the promotion and of intelligence but rather for the optimization of the clerical. Administrator is practically synonymous with clergy.

> If you mean that to advance requires unquestioning belief then I would largely agree.

I am not even attempting to argue anything with regards to belief or faith. I am simply trying to make obvious the simple observation that structurally things tend to converge towards a certain status-quo (equilibrium) in almost everything. Academia is not free of this reality even if many within like to (naively or blindly) believe they are. But, it is most frightening that science itself (almost the epitome of which is to question) has converged towards these exact same structures (as religion and government often do) almost without any hindrance to becoming such. It is actually scary.

I am genuinely hoping the younger generation changes this dramatically. But, I am not seeing it. Most millennial academics are either supportive or entirely silent towards the status-quo.

Your advice is way too binary. Cash flow crunches happen all the time in bootstrapped startups. First thing is to cut costs because you can do that quickly.

1.) Cut/defer all discretionary costs.

2.) Founder salaries go to zero. They signed up for it.

3.) Defer sales commissions, e.g., don't pay until the company gets paid.

4.) Defer payments to vendors. If it's 15 days net pay in 60. Our customers do this all the time.

5.) Last of all lay off staff. If you can avoid this step it makes your bounce-back way faster.

Do all of this before you need to.

At the same time go after your marketing strategy. Downturns like what we are seeing now also represent opportunities for companies that can reposition to save users costs. Payoff for this will be longer term.

Finally...It's a bit late to point this out, but it's dumb not to setup a credit line when times are good so you can get through cash flow crunches. I would shoot for something that gives you 6 months runway if you can get it.

Anybody have an idea what the significance of the 7 seven day cutoff is? Can’t imagine this magic number does anything to improve security. Seems kind of arbitrary.
No. You can always raise more cash or dig your way out. Yes your odds of success lower as your runway dwindles, but it's definitely not game over. I sold my company two years after running out of cash.

You can become a zombie startup, but that's usually a function of poor leadership.

That is pure nonsense. Do you suggest an economy that only includes what is "necessary?"

"> We have very good numbers from Diamond Princess

"We don't. All the people who died there were in their 70s and 80s and had pre-existing conditions as well. And it was a single digit number. One would have to be totally statistically illiterate to extrapolate that to a country the size of United States."

Straw man much? I see you elided my whole point about using the VERY GOOD and comprehensive S. Korea numbers and also using them to extract the signal from the Diamond Princess numbers? What is your agenda here? To just confuse everyone?

"gradual reduction in the number of daily new cases" What are you talking about? This is flat out wrong. We had 13K NEW cases TODAY, an all time high for the U.S. and we are certainly only getting started. The numbers have been rising every day for the past week.

"With half a million tests given so far, best I can tell we have the highest testing throughput in the world" That is again, JUST PLAIN WRONG. That's .5M tests since JANUARY. Now, if we continue increasing at the rate we did this week, then we will have adequate testing in place in about two weeks. I hope that happens, but it's doubtful. Every increase has met with a new bottleneck somewhere in the chain.

"which would explain why Wuhan did not experience a second round of epidemic after lifting most of the restrictions and putting people back to work"

Again, what nonsense is this? Wuhan is not lifting "most" of the restrictions until April 8. They loosened a number of restrictions a few DAYS ago. The virus has an incubation time of 14 days. Are you that mathematically illiterate to see the uselessness of your already incorrect "fact?"

I've been using Terminal.app for years (I used iTerm2 before Terminal.app had some major improvements). I switched to Kitty so I could bind a shortcut key to opening a new terminal window--a habit I picked up from tiling window managers. I can't remember if I had other criteria, but Kitty has been surprisingly a quiet workhorse since I switched (I occasionally had TERM issues when ssh-ing).
She recommended the standard CPAP route. Instead, I chose to lose weight, improve my fitness, and switch to side sleeping. Fortunately that resolved my issues.

It is no surprise because the whole point of keeping storage around is because you intend to come back. Pinning a website to a homescreen is clear intent.

No, sorry, false. A sentence of the form, "which is why <person> does <thing>", i.e. "<person I never met> did <thing> because <reason I impute>" is never, ever a statement of fact. It is _always_ an opinion and an attempt at mindreading. And in this case, it's ill-informed. As lend0000 has repeatedly told you, firms like these are not exposed long to the market. Hence, "likely ideologically motivated", unlikely a nefarious ploy, but again this is speculation.

Yes. I firmly believe this is an attack on user control.

For example, I believe they REALLY want us to use the youtube app:

- Viewing youtube.com on a new iPad pro, Goolag lies and says "your browser doesn't support 1080p."

- Ok, change to desktop version in app. Goolag once again lies and says "your browser doesn't support full screen." They also lie and say they've redirected you to the "desktop version", and nag you with a persistent banner that you should return to the safety of the mobile website.

- Ok, change to "request desktop version" via user agent. Full functionality. Full screen is DEFINITELY possible with a javascript bookmark. 1080p+ is DEFINITELY possible. Ads blocked in browser.

If I were to use the app, they would have FULL CONTROL.
> one request is better than many

This is plainly not true. Web servers are designed to serve concurrent requests. So are databases. HTTP2 drastically improves the networking part of this. GraphQL offers a unified request-response object without needing to combine responses. It provides no guarantees about improved performance, particularly when the solution is automated and there's no way for a requester to reason about the performance implication of the queries they're issuing. It almost certainly provides worse performance than well designed RESTful endpoints requested concurrently.
It's strange to me that you seem to assume higher taxes on top earners (which is probably the conclusion I parse out of Sanders and his proponents, though they would face opposition in Congress to get there) necessarily means that economic growth will decline. Speaking historically, the United States has gone through periods of high growth with top marginal tax rates at something like 90%.

There are some general concepts that make frequent appearances, it's worth looking out for them because they can help form connections between different areas. Some examples: 1. the harmonic oscillator and associated quadratic potential. 2. Wave-like phenomena and the wave equation. This comes up in all kinds of mechanical and em systems, plus the schroedinger equation itself. 3. Decomposition of functions into orthogonal sets of other functions, its not just a mathematical trick, but a powerful way of reconceptualizing things. 4. Approximations and expansions are everywhere. Always keep in mind what it is youre solving for and look at its sensitivity to other properties of the system.
