>A web browser is so much more than just the network traffic. Consider the mouse & keyboard input, the browsing history, the cache, the security credential store, the connection to display, GPU, USB and Bluetooth devices, microphones & cameras... the list goes on.

Access to those resources are either gated behind a permission (which adblockers shouldn't have access to), or can be accessed by any website, in which case a malicious ad blocker can exploit by injecting its malicious js into the http response.

>Lastly, you could put much stricter resource usage limits (CPU time, operating memory) on an adblocking process than on a web browser, thwarting whole classes of resource exhausting attacks.

Seems theoretical to me. If your adblocker is a cryptominer, you probably have bigger issues. If whatever site you're going to is mounting DoS attacks on your adblocker, you probably don't want to stay on the site anyways.

>You can apply varying levels of restricting any net traffic not passing through the adblock, up to and including dropping any such traffic. Ability to ad-filter HTTP traffic of an email client, RSS reader (i know, 2020) and similar user agents would be good.

I'm not doubting whether it works, it's just that it's worse (or marginally better) than dns/hosts adblockers.
That means the arrow of time is essentially quantum in nature.

(I'm not talking about statistical sources such as large particle collectives.)
W put a client with a very similar stack on GKE / GCP. They are quite happy with the reliability and ease with which they can get software through the process.

We could do something similar in about 20 hours. Email me if you are interested to talk further.
Are cops in other countries swinging lathis to enforce lockdown. I suggest that the cops politely explain the need for the restriction, and what are the citizens rights in this situation, with assurance of due process if people have legitimate reason to go.
Remember, in UK even daily exercise, visit to park counts as a legitimate reason.

I believe that people can be allowed around for such activities as long as social distancing is followed.
keep in mind that a store is just a frontend for several supply chains. The workers making the product might stop, the transporters might as well, and even the workers that refill the shelves might stop refilling non essential goods.
On Ubuntu Linux using Xmonad my screen goes black. Other screen share programs do work for me.
There's also https://jamboard.google.com/ (until they sunset it)

There's the (kinda expensive) physical version where you can actually draw on the screen itself, but you can also do it for free on a normal computer.
Once we've all blocked ads from every possible angle, what is the model we'll be using to pay for social media, photo sharing, email, video sharing,. instant messaging and so on?

I dislike ads as much as the next person but I don't comprehend what monetary model is being lined up to replace their revenue generating abilities, for service providers

Aside from lots of small subscriptions.
After simply opening a md file, I found that Document Node corrupted it (linebreaks disappeared and content replaced with garbage characters).

Fortunately, the file was in a git repo, so I was able to revert and no harm done, but that does not exactly inspire confidence...
From the excerpt:

I'm sorry to say this, particularly because you did a lot of work here. And it's probably unfair, even, since you're just one person taking on this sort of thing. But it seems to me that you won't stand behind your work, which means I can't trust it. NOLO, for instance, might have similar language in its books. But NOLO already has a reputation for quality.
That concise, plain explanation exists in someone else's words four sentences into the above link:

"Urbit is a new OS and peer-to-peer network that’s simple by design, built to last forever, and 100% owned by its users. Under the hood, Urbit is a clean-slate software stack compact enough that an individual developer can understand and control it completely."

That's what it is. Concise and plain. Why re-explain something that's already well-written by another? Is following links and reading for half a minute too much to ask these days? If so, I'd suggest that the ask isn't very genuine.
That scenario would only come true if every leader did the correct thing. In the more likely scenario where some did and some didn't, the ones who did would say "It might seem at first sight that we overreacted, but look at country X. They didn't act and all their citizens are dying and the economy crumbling."

As a former and early Screenhero adopter, I'm not sure why they had sold to Slack and have now come back with the same, if not a worse reincarnation of Screenhero.

At least they have Linux support this time since Screenhero and Slack repeatedly refused to port Screenhero to Linux. But again, having no web support would reduce the friction for new users having to install something rather than downloading a specific electron app.
You're exactly right. But our leaders are afraid of everyone realizing just how easy it would be to end our debt slavery.

The United States is run by a landlord and all his power comes from workers servicing his debts.
Perhaps this is a philosophical question in the end again.

There are open questions: Why would their accuracy be sufficient? Is there a proof of it being sufficient to make such a claim? Then we have: Is their simulation correct? Can we even make a correct simulation inside a computer, about 3 black holes and in addition to that, make general statements about laws of physics, based on the results of that simulation? Perhaps to make a perfect simulation, to be really sure, we would need an apparatus of as much matter as fell into those black holes.

So I remain sceptical.
If the root problem with QMK is that there are too many moving parts, adding a completely new language and compiler into the mix seems like a step in the wrong direction.

The extra features that QMK has and Menelaus doesn't aren't really all that appealing to me to begin with.
We're WEEKS before the climax. The rate of spread is almost 35% clearly we will not peak until after April. So 15 days (what Trump proposed) is too early, even 15 weeks would be too early.
I agree that it is useful. But from the perspective of a learner it is a stumbling block. Rusts syntax seems to be a compromise to cater to c-likeness. Not a deal breaker at all, just something that I think is not as good as it could have been and will confuse adopters at least in the beginning.

On the flip-side it might attract more developers who are not familiar with anything that is not c-like.

As a side note, Lisps are expression based and have a very clean syntax where you don’t need to mentally construct an AST, it is literally there in front of you already.
Cuomo's briefing today was absolutely scathing. NY State has 25,000 cases and is rising unabated and the federal government is doing next to nothing to support them while publicly seeking to move on from emergency measures. Trump is looking for a >$1T stimulus bill and unlimited Fed bond purchases but thinks that applying the Defense Production Act would be government overreach. People are dying and he only cares about goosing the stock market.

To some degree, all sciences rely on the world respecting the views of "really smart people" who have PhDs or whatever. Most people aren't actually going to understand the science.

Medicine seems especially reliant on the social proof angle, but a lot of science is over the heads of a lot of readers and we basically latch onto experts we respect to help us decide which statements we don't understand but will essentially take on faith.
OP is talking about these

In the Czech Republic there is such a mask law. One must wear something over the nose and mouth. As to why other countries don't enact the same, I don't know.
It typically takes 2.5–3 weeks after the start of symptoms for hospitalized patients to die. It only takes a few days to a week for a positive test result to come back.

Up until recently people hospitalized in NYC has had access to doctors and equipment, but NYC hospitals are already on the verge of being overwhelmed, and the crisis is just starting there. 2–3 weeks ago the “CFR” (i.e. deaths to date divided by known positive cases) was also very low in Lombardy.

The mass social distancing interventions they have undertaken in NYC should hopefully start kicking in, and we can all hope that the situation doesn’t get as bad as Lombardy, but in the mean time there are going to be thousands if not tens of thousands of deaths there, and it looks like doctors may soon end up facing choices about who to put on ventilators.
Sounds a bit like what Qubes does
it's hard to do social distancing when we are social people or we might bump into someone despite trying. Also only N95 masks are effective to prevent transmission. Regular masks don't really work and provide false sense of safety.
Because it sticks out like a sore thumb, and has trademark problems irrespective of its reuse. And you know, everyone deals with naming things, so we can all relate and pull from our own experiences.
For only the last 5 years?! We started approaching our current level of polarization and infighting over wedge issues during the 90's, and have steadily gotten worse. Both sides are hopelessly deadlocked and so convinced they're right as to completely disparage and dehumanize half of the population. They're more interested in fighting the other side than they are moving forward in any way if it involves giving the other side a victory, no matter how small. If that's not the stupidity that got us into this mess, I don't know what is.
Attorneys of HN: would you be offended / consider it rude if a potential client asked if you had one of these devices and if it was turned off?
Why? It would likely become a more expensive solution as technology progressed and legacy skills to maintain became more obsolete.

Really thankful that Bill Gates is focusing his attention on coronavirus at this time. I think he will likely be called one of the many heroes in this epidemic.
Why would it "stop" being an issue? GNU screen is not going anywhere. Maybe you'll stop hearing complaints once all initial grievances are aired and it's obvious that you don't care, but it will continue to cause confusion in the workplace.

Just today I was recommending (GNU) screen to a coworker to address transient outages with a remote connection. It would get pretty annoying to constantly clarify which screen I mean, as they are both used in the same circumstances.
Thank you for your feedback, I do agree with you on most points: this solution can't and isn't meant to replace what a fully-fledged WordPress can offer you. However, I trust that assembling smaller single propose pieces of software can offer just as many functionalities with better control over what's happening.

By the way, with this solution an AMP support isn't required as you can serve the same content to mobile users, leaving most of the heavy work to the CMS to optimize the assets (images for a classic example).
I like it. Banks money market accounts were clearly over leveraged and cannot be trusted. Cash may as well be directly backed by the fed instead of small bank IOU’s.

Retail learns not to over leverage after they blow out their accounts a few times. Banks never learn because their jobs depend on them not learning.
> Taiwan was relatively recently an autocracy. It still can resort to its historical behavior overnight. In the West the sort of actions that Taiwan took absent an emergency are politically unpalatable.

The difference is that Taiwan saw the emergency coming and decided to make a decision early instead of dithering.

Falling back on "we just can't do stuff like that BECAUSE DEMOCRACY" is intellectually lazy and self-sabotaging.

Arguing about principles instead of considering specific circumstances is exactly how organizations lose their way.
I want to see hard numbers of monetary and supply relief given to each state by the federal government.
Care to elaborate? Is it that the charge would not transfer? Would it repel particles rather than attract them? Is the static charge on N95 filter material applied or a result of the materials physical properties?

Also while on the subject, would it be possible to build an active static filter for HVAC systems using the technology used in the powder coating industry?
People aren't not going to stores, etc. because of the virus. In WA this weekend, with lockdown theater in full force, there were tons of groups eating outside restaurants on benches and grass out of takeout containers, hiking trailheads were overflowing with cars, running in a city park near my house was impossible because of the crowds (larger than on a regular sunny weekend).
It was really inspiring to see (from a position of a person who absolutely disagrees with lockdowns, even if the worst case exponential spread was the alternative).

Imagine what the economic impact of the virus alone would be if there weren't lockdown pleas all over the news, social media, even highway signs. It would be close to zero now, and if Spanish Flu teaches us anything it would be negligible even at the peak.

So, the government is killing the economy.
Hence, the government is also trying to prop it up. I suspect it won't end well either way.
I really hope we (the US) conducts a thorough and credible investigation as to who is responsible for this failure to prepare for this crisis. I have minimal faith in government or regulatory agencies, but I thought the CDC was one of the few government agencies that had its shit together. Apparently they couldn't even be bothered to keep a reasonably stocked reserve of masks and ventilators--things that we knew we would need in the event of a respiratory disease outbreak which we were looking pretty probable following SARS and MURS. Never mind planning to secure and ramp up critical supply chains. I'm sure there's lots of blame to be laid at the feet of congress and various administrations, but these things seem to be squarely in the purview of the CDC and certainly aren't line items on the congressional appropriations bill.

I want criminal charges pressed against bureaucrats and politicians tarred and feathered not so much because I'm pissed that their negligence has killed / will kill thousands but so that future politicians and agency heads will take this shit seriously in the future. If there aren't sufficient legal avenues for holding politicians and bureaucrats accountable, then we need to create some.

We’re a 2 person team, and neither of us uses Screen (the last time I used it was more than 5 years ago, and until HN’s response, had completely forgotten about it).

Also, nobody in our private beta mentioned GNU Screen.

A public beta helps us get feedback on issues that we have missed before, and this is one of them!

How do you work with the service providers you use to host your platform and send out emails (e.g. Heroku / Mailgun) to let them know you are not a malicious phishing company, but an anti-phishing company?

I say this because I ended up reporting the phishing email I received from you guys to Mailgun, and I believe accidentally got your account disabled. Sorry about that.

> Would love to hear your war stories on phishing scams, and how you train your teams!

I was working on anti-phishing in 2003, before it had the name phishing. We were trying to teach our users not to fall for the scams.

It didn't work. People will fall for the same scam over and over.

The conclusion we came to was that the only solution to phishing was education, and education was also nearly impossible to get 100% coverage.

I wish you luck, but don't get discouraged if it doesn't work. We've been trying to educate people about phishing for 17+ years. :)

We shifted our focus to tracking the phishing sites and then tying that back to which user accounts were hacked, and disabling the hacked accounts and notifying the users before damage could be done.

PayPal actually holds the patent on what we built, along with a ton of other anti-phishing and phishing site tracking patents.
We can't afford to shutdown the economy for a year.
In a simulation you would simply flip a sign on that one and it should go back. I've done plenty of simulations myself where waves radiate from a source, and those are perfectly reversible.

The article is pointing at a more subtle issue related to a fundamental small-scale fuzziness which affects chaotic systems and breaks reversibility.
I am honestly kinda surprised that so many people have these trojan horses in their homes.

>If you broke India down, and with it the Hindu vs Muslim farce, there would be no reason for antagonism with Pakistan.

Interesting. Your "solution" to the India-Pakistan conflict is to break up India. You also claim the antagonism is one-sided and coming from India.

What makes you think Pakistan will respect the sovereignty of an independent Jammu and Ladakh? What makes you think the Pakistan and Gujarat border will be peaceful?
Ask HN: Where can I find non-dev professional communities and groups?
For a variety of reasons, it seems as if developers have the highest online presence out of all professions. Whilst I do enjoy interacting with my peers, the brief discussion I've ever had with other professionals have always been valuable, and I crave more.

With that said, where can I find them? Where is the community for marketers, business analyst, and accountants? For lawyers, salespeople, and PR? Do they just not exist online?
Based on my comment's downvotes, and no feedback, I have to assume I've either 1) Misread the article, 2) Misinterpreted the article, 3) Didn't clarify my position sufficiently.

This recent HN post has a pretty good summary of where I think we all are on the given 'mask issue' topic:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22673242

Suffice it to say, these clap-back articles among the medical elite in supposed positions of authority don't clarify the facts any better than the sketchy policies being made on nebulous data. But I guess we are in a state of 'real-time' peer review, and everyone left guessing the outcomes.

I'd rather get hit with a switch a couple times than be prosecuted for a crime myself, but it's a terrible direction for society to take.

Early is the completion of the CDC's 15 day plan which was announced on March 16th:

So around March 30th?

I don't know Reuter's opinion of 'too early', but reducing quarantine before the current exponential growth has stopped and before hospitals are not overwhelmed seems like a bad idea.
I feel like the problem with stocking up on material is that it would have to be done before the outbreak even began in China. By mid january, China was vacuuming the market completely for equipment and from there on it has only gotten worse for any country that didnt have domestic production, as countries who did started banning exports.

Security is always an afterthought to those who don't actually understand it.
> The million dollar question here is how many cases go unnoticed. How many deaths go unnoticed. Nobody really knows.

Few deaths are going unnoticed. Even without this virus, there are cases every year in the US of isolated seniors dying at home because they were unable or unwilling to seek help. But it is trivial.

As far as actual cases of CV, can't we assume that the highest possible accurate infection rates would be coming from the countries with the best testing - those who are testing randomly or even those who aren't sick. And even in those countries, we're not seeing a death rate any higher than a normal flu season, apparently.

In the US, we're only testing those who show up at the hospital and are already sick. Our infected rate is missing out on all those people who don't need hospital care or don't even realize they already had and recovered from the virus.

So most countries have, in fact, a much smaller death rate than what is being published. If anything, the math here is telling us that we're overreacting, and the only question is by how much.
That's a little bizzare, but ok. Gnu screen has low latency, works well on Linux and bsds, works well with vim and emacs, works well for pair programming? I'm not sure how good the mouse support/sharing is - but I think selection and cursor is shared fine?

Don't get me wrong, I've got lots of colleagues who use various other editors, like vs code - but... This isn't just a case of pre-existing software with a similar name - combined with ssh, gnu screen is arguably superior for pair bugfixing in production, for example (multiple ppl can ssh into the same server).

I get that this is "like gnu screen, but for xorg/Wayland - and without any support for resuming remote sessions" - just sounds like an odd pitch - as you say you especially want to target Linux support...
Nice! I've been using screen for many years, switched to tmux though as I thought it was easier to manage.
