> not being anonymous is not such a big risk.

the world has always been anonymous because of the lack of capability to track large amounts of data - until recently.

Anonymity allows you safety from any one who seeks to predate you. I think that safety needs to be maintained. People stupidly put photos of themselves online, then face tag their friends. This allows third parties to identify your friends and circles, and that's dangerous. All relationship should be reciprocal.

I understand the stress we are all under but there is really no need for that language. If you heard his press conference he reiterated that NYC is just ahead of the nation and what is happening in NYC will repeat in the rest of the nation and he will ensure that the respirators are sent on to other parts of the nation once the peak passes in NYC.

"The governor also directly addressed the rest of the nation. He said he would not hold onto the ventilators in New York once the need passes and he pleaded for unity for amid a national crisis."

This nails it. It's not the present view of you that someone might get, but it's the fact that they can roll back the clock on you and re-interpret anything you did or said or anywhere you went. Digging up some ancient tweet is somewhat analogous to it, but it cuts way deeper when you start thinking about every moment of your life. On the flip side, if you're just living your life OpSec feels overkill...
Watch the video. He wants them all now because NY has 10x more active cases than any other state. All 20000 won't be even enough. They're projecting to hit a peak in 14-21 days. No other state is on pace to need them before then. Once the peak has passed, he'll pay to ship them anyplace else that needs them. They're not disposable, they are durable. If they don't all go now along with 10,000 then send body bags instead.

I spent some years homeless and I post as openly female on HN, which at least historically was overwhelmingly male.

I do my best to educate people here (about homelessness, being a woman online, etc) and I try to keep it as conversational as possible. People who want to be good and want to see themselves as good don't react well to being attacked and accused. It tends to close minds and, with it, doors.

I'm not trying to attack you nor criticize you. I'm hoping to empower you with a better methodology.

Hi folks - Many of you are looking for the latest and most credible news on COVID-19. My startup, The Factual, analyzed 6000 journalists across 410 news sources who cover the topic and found the top-rated reporters.

The Factual's Credibility Grade is based on their evidence cited in the article (link and quote analysis), neutral tone of writing, author expertise (consistent focus on a topic and grade of previous articles on topic), site reputation (historical grades of all authors).

What's pleasantly surprising is that women dominated our ratings. Hopefully this gives them, and all the best reporters, more exposure.
The problem is that with most GC algorithms 1% of the frames take 2x (or even 20x) as long, not that individual frame times vary by 1%.
If you look at the integers between say Graham's number (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%27s_number) and TREE3(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal%27s_tree_theorem) you can observe that practically all of these integers, while "computable", cannot be defined within the known constraints of this universe.

Which raises an interesting question: In what meaningful sense do these numbers exist? They are just out of reach as the non-definable real numbers...
That's a problem. If a country doesn't have manufacturing capacity, other countries can use that as leverage in the geopolitical sphere. This is one example of where the interests of corporations and countries conflict.

Very interesting proposal.
There absolutely are compromises to be made, which are not being made in the US and should be (distinguishing essential from non-essential, sending everyone else home to work at home if they can, locking down all social activity). No country is resilient to stopping, and no state is unique in this or an island.

People want a simple, tidy villain and hero story. As though everything would suddenly be solved if only their hero of choice vanquished the villain. Unfortunately, as you point out, the real problem is institutional decay.

A recent article summed this up pretty well:

"Such a mobilization failure is never an individual's fault. Rather, it reveals a hollow state. In the alphabet soup of federal agencies, there is no one with the information and authority to act on the consequences of an exponential curve...

In the middle of the 20th century, a cadre of credentialed experts was created to replace citizens. This was a mistake. The selection mechanism for entry into this cadre selects against bravery and original thinking. Experts should be consulted, but what use is an expert unwilling to consult on a grand vision? The American system of the 2020s through the city, county, state, and up to the federal level has been staffed with people who know how to speak and make themselves appear blameless, but not how to act."

> If we want to know how lethal the virus is, we need sampling of who actually has contracted it, which is tough in the early stages of a pandemic.

But several studies have done the best job possible, given different pieces of the dataset, to arrive at a more accurate IFR (see the links in the above content).

I haven't seen anybody, in any published paper, defend the 3.4% as a likely indicator of the actual fatality rate.

So why are we still crafting policy as if this virus is between 10 and 100 times more deadly than it actually appears to be, according to the best data available today?

> Understand continuations - Continuations are a low-level control flow mechanism.

Excellent advice right there!

> Scheme is the only language to implement them, and while you will never use them in production, they will change how you think about control flow. I wrote a blog post trying to explain them.

Hmm, well, many languages compile to a continuation passing style (CPS) intermediate. And in many languages it is important to understand continuations to understand how they work. For example, laziness in Haskell is essentially all about continuations and continuation passing style.

What is CPS? Anyone who has been in callback hell knows. In CPS a continuation is just the closure you pass to some function that it will call when it's done. In fact, even in C, the act of returning from a function is very much like the act of calling a continuation, except that by unwinding the stack, the magic of Scheme continuations is lost.

You say that but people kill themselves over this kind of loss.
The way I handle this, at least in React, is to create a context provider that handles my component's view state, then write my UI element as a consumer of that view state by wrapping it in an HOC. Then, if any other component wants to subscribe to the particular user interaction that drives the component I'm writing, they can simply tap into the existing context with an HOC that I've already written for them.

This way view state is kept outside of my global store, my UI component and its state controller is fully composable and extractable (meaning more reusable), and any other UI element within the same context can view and update my UI component as it pleases.

Another great thing about this is that you can scope your view state (or context) however you want. You can put it on the page level, the app level, or really wherever you want. You don't have to worry about cleaning up or resetting state because the context provider will be unmounted when the user navigates away (unlike a redux store).
I too am extremely opposed to any and all non-consenting invasions of digital privacy (i.e., the problem isn’t the known-known of what you upload, but the hidden implications of it), but on the contrary, I make a disciplined effort to make my digital fingerprint reflect my actual views and identity. Whatever time capsule my digital identity ends up in, I want to be as accurate and beautiful as possible.

This includes my avid support of corporations which make good faith efforts to defend natural rights and freedoms, and my vehement opposition to corporate/political nonsense that does not represent, in good faith, the interests of humanity and nature. “A reasonable amount” of surveillance is an essential aspect of society, but it SHOULD be considered invasive, and should never be invisible. I suspect that there will be BS metrics to evaluate how “consenting” a given individual is to NSA/Clearview type behavior, and I would hope that I am casting a shield of protection. I feel bad about the fact that an element of bitterness is necessary to be resilient. I know no other way than truth.

I truly act as if AI is learning from me, and believe that there are long reaching and metaphysical effects to all actions.

Combine that with a few VMs that also need a few GB of RAM each, as well as another equally-bloated Electron app or two, and you can quickly get into the swapping zone.
