Which domain registrars do these attackers use? Where do they host? Are they, perhaps, helped by large CDN providers happy to anonymize their traffic?

I’m not saying that I would like to see anonymity become impossible online. But I am predicting that if people die as infrastructure or institutions succumb to attacks mediated by such services, they will no longer be allowed to throw up their hands and pretend to be incapable of making the most obvious judgements of the customers they serve.

I haven’t heard of a single service requiring anonymity for a legitimate purpose in any democracy. Maybe there are oppositional blogs in Iran and China with actual impact? If you believe so, that ability will soon go away if everyone continues tolerating a situation where 99%+ of the use of this freedom is for nefarious purposes.

The Pirate Bay and Sci-Hub haven’t survived because they are they are technologically more sophisticated than everyone else. They are benefactors of a certain twilight zone, where societies may have rules but not quite enough motivation to expend their power on fully enforcing them. But if, in that twilight zone, things are allowed to flourish that escape the niche and harm people out in daylight, things will change almost instantly.

It’s trivially easy to detect domain names intended to mislead: whó.net, or paypál.com. Banning those might be a good first step. There may be borderline cases, but that doesn’t prevent anyone from acting on the obvious ones, in the same way that I can confidently say that Yosemite is a forest and a parking lot is not, even though I might not be able to define the exact number of trees required for a forest.
> as long as you add the bits from least significant to most

Thanks, although I already understood what you explained, this bit made me realize more clearly the detail I was tripping up on. I was never imagining the 1-bit adder to start anywhere _but_ the LSB, what I couldn't figure out was why it couldn't simply iterate the bits in reverse logical order for big endian...

I'm guessing there is a good reason why serial processors can't read a sequence of bits in reverse logical order, and it probably applies to modern CPUs too? either that or it's a design choice that cannot be dynamic.

I should probably pick a book up at this point, thanks for answering my questions.
>All ideas are worth discussing, even if only to explain why they are not going to be implemented.

The aforementioned idea has been given the discussion it deserves, and has been rejected by the community as not providing anything of intellectual merit worth the effort of discussing further.

Not all ideas are worth discussing at length or of being taken seriously. If what you want is a "free market" of discussion (which Hacker News isn't, anyway) then you should accept that the community will value some ideas more than others.
That's indeed the right solution. But it needs to be enforced by the stores - as many do now, with per-customer purchase limits.

> the recommendation has always been to have supplies for 10-14 days at home. Seems like a more reasonable number than a months worth - especially for city dwellers.

That's a nice recommendation for a calm time, but a bit short for the pandemic. If you get quarantined, you need to stay put for 14-21 days. Add a bit of padding to account for undersupplied stores (and to add a margin for error), and you arrive at 1 month's worth.

Two cans of meat per day? Is this a diet that has no starch in it, or something?

> However everyone is probably stocking up on bananas and potatoes and fresh meats which will start to go bad after a week.

I doubt people are overbuying bananas too much, but more importantly meat can go in the freezer and something is wrong with your potatoes.

The other option is to have the bank in question issue more equity for the state to buy.

The Norwegian government for example still owns more than a third of the biggest Norwegian bank as a holdover from a much earlier financial crisis (1990), and decided not to sell down further as a strategic decision to prevent future meltdowns.

The UK similarly bought a lot of bank assets during the 2008 crisis.
What I Learnt About Hiring
good rant
My complaint is that I see people screaming "hoardres" where what really happens is someone buying an extra day's or two worth of supplies, and/or are buying for themselves and the extended family. Maybe things have changed now, but around me, most ruckus about hoarding was made by people who thought COVID-19 is just a flu and were inconvenienced by queues. People who couldn't understand that you need a buffer.
On the other hand you have some decent criminals out there [1].

These will probably stay an exception though, in the past mafias understood times of crisis were an opportunity to gain popularity and power over the state by helping the population rather than damage it further. The fact that the internet allows so much distancing from the consequence of one's actions means cyber-criminality has to be tackled through technological defense first, legal retaliation only goes so far.

Okay, it's been in development for 10 years? 20% per year, then. Done. A 200% return over 10 years is a CAGR of 11.61%, just a hair lower than what you'd get dumping it all into an S&P 500 index fund on 2010-01-01 and cashing out 2019-12-31, plus you get to put "saved millions of lives" on your resume. Totally fair.

You don't think the US government can afford $80 ($40x2, because you should run 2 tests for confirmation) to test every resident of the country? Google tells me there are 327.2M people in the US. $80/person is only $26 billion. How much are we spending again on useless foreign wars that nobody questions? How much did the Fed spend in a failed effort to stabilize the market a couple weeks ago?

You also forgot, this test returns results in 45 minutes, whereas the other version takes hours. Reducing the time to result by an order of magnitude means you can test an order of magnitude more people. You said it right here: "... it requires a much lower degree of operator skill and capital equipment. But because it requires less operator skill and less capital equipment, it can be closer to patients, especially in remote areas."

So, what do you want, $26 billion in the US treasury, or every single human inside the US borders to be tested for coronavirus? Granted, that testing will not happen instantaneously, but it will happen far, far faster with this technology deployed at scale than not. And, I don't see Cephid moving to put 10 of these in every hospital in the country yet. Do you?

Let me put it to you another way: do you want to go the way South Korea has, or the way Italy has?
Pertinent.
AFAIK it's probably not that hard to find equally horrible security holes in macOS or Linux/X Window System/Wayland.
Amazon recruiters are a mixed bag, but the nice thing is you can always get another one easily. I’ve been ghosted by lots of recruiters and companies during my job search, even after multiple in-person interviews where I thought I almost had the job.
Why do bailouts at all instead of letting them go bankrupt? Bankruptcy doesn't mean that people lose their jobs, it means that investors / lenders lose money.
The name Linux is not the issue, the fact that it isn't a product might be.

Think of Windows or macOS, pick a version, you can picture what it looks like and what apps run on it. Linux isn't a specific product. You can't install Linux 10.15. You might install a specific kernel version, or a specific distro version, but Linux is more of an assemblage of packages rather than one cohesive end-product. And it's not as easy to picture Linux in your mind. One Linux user will use default Ubuntu installation, one Linux user will boot directly to terminal because window managers, and other Linux user will be using Android which is completely different case as well.

> What is your example of where the Linux kernel is "eating more of user space every year"?

to clarify I love ebpf traffic processing as opposed to having an iptables nfqueue[1] based approach (or worse a fully privileged kernel module).

my point was that userspace now looks different than before because I have to gain a pretty deep understanding of LLVM in order to do meaningful work to achieve the same goal (and be rewarded by a ~50% speed up).

Is ebpf user-space? Is it kerne-space? Is it something inbetween? I've written C for over 2 decades and have used assembler to optimize for embedded architecture where it made sense. far from an expert in assembler - maybe I'm not a good systems programmer because I should know more about this topic?

[1] I wrote this in January: https://github.com/DyslexicAtheist/nfq/ fully aware it could be done in ebpf but chose NFQ nevertheless - because my LLVM foo is simply not good enough. I feel either I'm dumb or the learning-curve is so big that it will take me a year or more to get the same done in ebpf. So ebpf has in some way hi-jacked my existing user-land skills :) not complaining - just saying my skill set has been obsoleted in a matter of few months - again not complaining - I will just have to dig deeper into LLVM and know more about the hardware than I did before :)

Schroedinger's Virus.
This is how lack of planning and saturation looks like, workers in those houses might have been positive of SARS-CoV-2 and put in quarantine at their homes, in some places volunteers are helping to cover those positions, we don't have all the information of every house, it is a drama, I want to think and attribute it to incompetence rather than evil. Other countries should learn from this and don't let the system saturate, It is sad, and unthinkable in the 21st century, I think that's why most countries will be caught by surprise, they might think this won't happen to them.
Are the funeral services keeping the bodies on ice because they want them buried or because they're waiting for them to be cremated?
In this situation, where bodies are piling up, I'd understand the latter, but not the first. Then again (pardon my ignorance), I'm not from Spain so no idea what what the cultural thing in regards to funerals there is...
Sounds just like the Itanium/amd64 story.
In this case, I'd say we'd be better off letting that fragility run its course.

Very few (if any) Americans depend on the existence of the cruise industry to make a living or otherwise survive in our society. For the ones who do, it'd be cheaper to give them individual "bailouts". Cruise ships contribute jack all to the national or global supply chain except as consumers of it; letting cruise lines fail means more capacity on that supply chain for things that actually do matter (especially in times of crisis).

Even bank bailouts have a better value proposition, and that's saying something.
”Most young people survive but many of those surviving suffer permanent lung damage.”

This is not true. You are repeating misinformation.
I would agree but using paper can also make the hand dirty, except perhaps in an invisible way. I think it might be all in our heads and we need a scientific study to show which method is safer/more hygienic. This also could take into account the question of whether spreading some bacteria could have a positive effect on e.g. our immune systems somehow.
You also forget to mention the magic pipes that let ships dump water polluted with oil directly into the sea so they don’t have to pay at ports for proper disposal.

Outlaw ocean is an eye opening book (and a great read) about how lawless the sea is, how slavery is still very very real out there, and how it’s virtually impossible to keep eating fish once you know what’s going on (both in terms of human trafficking and in terms of quotas violation/fishing in U.N. “protected” natural reserves)

You mean that there's this new BS profession "remote work consultant"? Yeah, looks like at lot of people are doing this! And this is exactly why I built the page – the idea is to find legit remote work consultants who have been working on this field even before the virus :)

Everyone can sign up, but at least for now it mostly consists of people who have been working as a consultant for years. I'll see who sign up and maybe I can then add more filters and rearrange the sorting so you'll first see consultants with more years of experience.
Don't run them in the washer, just wash them out in the sink. Yeah, your hands will get dirty, but that's what soap is for and anyone who's ever dealt with a baby can tell you that it's not the end of the world.

Also, you only need one per trip that way, and you won't risk fouling the washing machine. Saves water, too.
>They're likely not going to go bust though; they have a fuckton of money, at worst the ships are going to be docked for a while until this blows over.

Why do people get this impression a pandemic, combined with an unprecedented economic drawdown, combined with one of the most vitriolic political climates we've ever seen is just going to "blow over", and in 6 months we'll be going along like nothing ever happened?

Covid19 might go away (or it might not, there's always that). But many things are going to change. Who's to say we don't now decide that cruise ships are a stupid idea, because they spread disease, pollute like crazy, don't pay taxes and need bailouts? Many industries disappear.

Thank you. I did not know readlang, but my project is different because I want to customize the help given depending on the user.

Also, I plan to focus on the challenges inherent to Japanese rather than extending my tool to other languages.
The Japanese grammar being simple and regular, I am quite optimistic that I can show help about it without relying on raw translations.
One challenge of Japanese is that a raw translation does not help to learn the readings/pronunciation and Kanjis, so it is in my experience almost completely useless for learning.

I also do not want to provide contents. I want the user to choose whatever he likes on internet (but I may recommend external interesting pages).
Because apparently we want to make sure investors don't suffer at the expense of the taxpayer / rest of the population.

Everyone censors.

A community is defined by a common set of values and cultural norms, which are a means of censoring those of outgroups in order to maintain a cohesive identity. People censor themselves constantly in order to stay within the boundaries of the law and the norms of public decency.

An online community which has a specific purpose by definition censors content which falls outside that purpose. Hell, the fact that we can't post illegal content is, itself, a form of censorship.

Not everything is, or should be, /b/. Although that site censors as well.
I'm bemused that anyone would even _consider_ bailing out the cruise industry, of all things. Like, what is the "in favour of" argument?

Debugging the svelte compiled code is easy though, it has an order of magnitude less indirection and layers than equivalent React code. Ever got a stack trace in a react event handler? 30 stack frames. Svelte handler? 3.

Nobody really knows because the virus itself carries so much uncertainty. That's why market volatility is so high- 2 weeks of lockdown? Two months? A year? Oh it's ending next week? Nobody knows

Worst case you can just imagine up some great depression 2.0 where all confidence in the economy is gone and nobody has jobs , or maybe a government so intent on preventing this that it causes hyperinflation. I don't think either of these are particularly likely

Hello Michael, congratulations for the launch! I've have a question; Why would you need to have a delay of delivery at the first place? because of scaling reasons or what exactly? I've seen that in enterprise usage of Apache Kafka, a lot of people go with such implementations for queuing messages: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CQRS.html . Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
To buy?
Yes, it's just temporary storage while they wait to be cremated.

Culturally I guess most people are buried, not cremated, and usually this takes two, three days or so. I do not really know how common is cremation in general, but I'd guess it's not the most common option -in normal circumstances-.

You know this is an article about Taiwan right?
I think there should be a much bigger discussion about bailouts. There currently seems to be a feeling that an industry that struggles deserves a bailout by default.

Why don't we have a discussion about which industry provides important services to society? And particularly how helpful it is likely to be in the larger crisis we have looming over us - climate change - and which won't go away? It seems like the absolute worst idea to bail out high carbon industries, and that's not just true for cruise ships, but also for airlines and many others.

You should stick with your current employer if you can but definitely keep tabs on what is happening in your industry/career path.

Most companies listing open positions will not hire people to fill them. They are mostly there as a cheap form of PR/advertising and to make their current employees feel replaceable.

I don't think things will return to normal, not in six months, not in two years. Companies will shrink, people with skills critical to their employer's business will die or just quit and they may not be replaced.

On the bright side, open offices and the 'sharing economy' are likely ancient history.
I'd say actual people should by all means be bailed out. Anything less just punishes poor people for being poor. I'd be willing to extend that to small businesses, too, for similar reasons.

Multi-million (let alone billion) dollar corporations, however, are not in a comparable situation, and re: them I fully agree with your take. If they accept bailouts, they should be prepared to also accept "We the People" democratically controlling them as publicly-owned cooperatives; the moment you depend on taxpayer money for your existence is the moment you forfeit the "right" to anything but taxpayer ownership.

In your mind, if there was only a single rule that seats have to be red, would that count as only allowing "approved configurations"? They have to meet a couple simple measurements, but they can do anything at all inside that constraint, putting seats anywhere they want with nothing stopping them. "approved configurations" just isn't accurate.
In much of the world, it is considered offensive to shake hands with your left hand, because the left hand is used instead of toilet paper.
