> Prof. Drosten who developed the test says that cannot happen in practice.

Obviously not true

False positives are always possible in practice even if they aren't possible in theory

Get a bunch of tired lab techs running tests 24/7 and one of them will accidentally write down the wrong result at some point
Frantic minds are terrified

Life lies in a grave

Silent death rides high above

On the wings of revelation

Multi death from chemicals

Arrogance has won

Annihilation must be swift

Destroy without destruction

Gods on the throne must be watching from hell

Awaiting the mass genocide

Soldiers defeated by death from a smell

Bodies lie dormant no life

Rising new souls on the lands where they fell

Demons not ready to die

Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie
My favorite bar (The Tempest in SF) shows all the major Bay Area sports games with the volume on. They have an employee quickly flip the audio to music whenever the feed hits a commercial. This is one of the best things about watching sports there, and it's 100% manual.

So what I'm saying is: there's at least one bar in the market for this!
That measurement is pretty bad anyways.

Maybe they'll provide better units we can actually discuss on.

Personally this wouldn't really work for me.

I always switch between projects to get some files (Like a CI config I already wrote for another project) or look how I have done something in another code base. Also all my editor configs, bookmarks, browser logins for Github are all there. If I'd have to switch between users for each project that sounds really cumbersome.

>cheesy virtual backgrounds or blur real background

Seems like a stock slightly blurred image of a wall or bookshelf would be best option

The problem I have with the stock backgrounds is they impart a non-professional feel to the meeting....do i really want to show I’m mentally ‘sitting on the beach’ or ‘out in space’ while talking about who gets downsized?
Note that suggestion #1, #2 and #3 do not involve modifications of the TV set (and the voltage is a small video signal), so it's risk-free, and should already covered the vast majority of the cases. As for #4, and #5, are more of a possibility and requires knowledge of the internal TV circuitry, those who already have the knowledge to do so, should already be well aware of the dangers involved.
No sane person actually works from home with their young kids present, at least not in any real job. Until schools have their remote classes sorted out with actual teachers giving actual attention to students over video, nobody's going to be getting any quality work done.
I'm the former CTO and co-founder of a Venture Capital firm that did algorithm-based sourcing of startups looking for new challenges. I love aggregating, analyzing, and leveraging data for advanced automation use cases. Before, I founded a recruiting startup that used public data to find the best developers for a given job offer. I have an academic background with a masters degree in Computer Science from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, one of Germany's top tech universities. Besides that, I did a lot of research during my studies and published three scientific papers in the process. Happy to connect!

My experience is, single threaded execution and being able to replicate that with local data for each instance and remote lookup at a fine grained data level when needed, is a more easier way to maintain the code. Cocurrency and all those synchronisation is damn hard to code and debug.
I wonder what that means for the lay person in finance, would it be comparable to California's IOU [0]?

Covid-19 vs. the Economy
The simplest way, but which essentially dodged the question, is to utilize a language with uniqueness types. Where the data structure may only exist in a single place and there can be no aliasing. Then any operation on the data structure occurs and can be done ‘in place’ returning the new unique data structure. This is similar (but not identical) to linear and affine type systems, of which Idris is the only language I know of that actually implements such a type system.

Also, along the same lines, it is certainly possible to craft types in some FP languages which allow for this same logic to be captured, mostly via some monad construct.

A couple of other important advantages to paper maps: you can get a much better "big picture" view, as printed maps have a much higher resolution and can be printed as large as necessary. Zooming out on a digital map comes at the price of reduced detail. Also, if you drop a paper map onto a hard surface, it doesn't break - and even if damaged, a paper map can still be useful.
But at reduced Key Travel. The new scissor may be more reliable ( we dont have data yet ), but it certainly isn't the old scissors. It doesn't feel anything like it, in fact even with 1mm key travel, 0.3 more than the 0.7mm butterfly, it still felt very "butterfly" to me.

> the cruises pollute the air of the city

Per-person? Surely anyone arriving by car, aeroplane or even bus is causing a lot more pollution, just on the sheer physics of how much more efficient sea transport is.

> Also, cruise visitors use the city's facilities (roads, trash collection, beaches, etc) but don't leave much money behind to compensate.

Surely that can be balanced with appropriate taxation - I believe a lot of places already levy a per-passenger tax for cruise ships berthing there.
Could you expand on the statement:

> virtually every human over a year old or so is "infected" with at least a handful of viruses for life

That sounds like a very interesting concept, and it's one that I haven't heard of before. If you don't want to write yourself, linking me to some reputable sources would be awesome too.
Thank you oso2k!
In fact some "common cold" coronaviruses are really quite similar to SARS-ncov-2.

hcov-NL63's protein spike, for example, binds to the same ACE2 receptor, and is also believed to be a polymorphism of bat and civet coronaviruses. It's also known to cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients.

But of course, a big difference is that hcov-NL63 has probably been circulating in humans for centuries, so we tend to acquire immunity to it by being exposed as children.
The click/touch wheel with acceleration was a huge deal for being able to browse through large music libraries quickly. The up/down button on other players was terrible in comparison.
Not disagreeing that the office setup wouldn’t make a difference. But there is almost no evidence that the virus can spread through ventilation. It can only be aerosoled in very rare instances (like during intubation) and droplets would fall to the ground before reaching the ventilation systems.
> In this case (as with many others) placebo is pretty effective

Where do you get that idea from?
In the study it looks like everyone got better, but that may just be regression to the mean (i.e. the normal progression of covid-19 in those patients).

If you'd want to know if placebo is effective on covid-19 you'd have to do a completely different study, comparing placebo to doing nothing. Though the likelyhood that placebo therapy is "pretty effective" here is very low. Placebos usually work best in things that have a strong subjective factor, e.g. pain treatment.

childcare workers won't be 'working from home' so not sure how this woould be a problem once the scare is over.

Unfortunately ppl with children are usually against company wide WFH flexible policies. I am guessing is just jealously. I have a coworker right now that asks ppl working from home in the morning meeting " oh so you are working from home today", so annoying.

This is a terrible analogy, because you know for a fact that hitting the breaks will cause the car to slow down. The evidence gathering is also just confirming the obvious. It's just... not relevant. If you're in an airplane and the pilot is dead, do you just start smashing buttons to land the plane? Instincts won't help you there. Instincts won't help you magic out a novel viral cure either.

An Interview with Richard Brodie – Creator of Microsoft Word
I don't agree with people down-rating a post they disagree with. However, I have to disagree. The iPod was simply the best hardware to play the most songs. I've used many cd players and MP3 cd players, and the HD iPod was the best interface with a scrool wheel, and the best deal on capacity.

Of course, you could say the iTunes way of structuring metadata was essential for the UI, and I would agree. However, I hated the iTunes software on the desktop, and I've always ran alternative clients, and I know many others who did as well. When alternative iPod software came up that had directory support, that was great too.

After the iPod became popular, no other company was able to come up with the alternative, equally capable storage/price hardware. It took years for Sony/Creative to come up with good alternatives, and then iPhone took over.

I've been working remotely for a while, but most of my colleagues work in the office by choice. First thing I noticed, our remote meetings are much better now. It works better when everyone is remote.

Another thing that surprised me, many of my colleagues don't have a good working environment from home. They live in small appartements, sometimes with young kids, and mostly don't have an office or even a good laptop.

> Even the remote teams I know are struggling to get work done in the middle of this 24-hour news cycle of virus news and political battles about how to address it.

Agree. It takes self-discipline not to follow this to closely.
The Imperial College paper that was being passed around said about 1% of 20somethings, 3% of 30somethings, and 5% of 40somethings wind up hospitalized.

I think if your population trends younger this can mean pretty high absolute numbers even if low percentages. A number of news sites in various places said the under 50 crowd is using significant portions of hospital resources.
Wow, this looks cool :)
Including Git commit-id as string inside C files
Code: https://github.com/google/honggfuzz/commit/2310ab5f6954cbe4ebaca25ca0a52c72bd4103c5

Including contents of a text-file as a string in C is not that easy, esp. if it's not surrounded by quotes. One cannot simply write

static const char str[] =
#include "file"
;

and

static const char str[] = "
#include "file"
";

will not work either.

If you know of a better (cleaner/shorter/less-hacky) way of doing this, and w/o external scripts/bins like `xxd -i` please let me know.
Ask HN: Examples of Wrong JWT Implementations?

I think people should be allowed to express a different opinion.

We should criticize and point out mistakes, but let's not demonize.

The world is complex and interdependent, overreacting can be just as bad as not doing anything, what we need to find is the right balance between the two approaches.

If we check back and he was right then what? You, like everyone else, will be elated.

Completely dismissing certain observations early on as 100% wrong is not the right approach. One has to navigate the path balancing the tradeoffs.
Why is CCP letting foreigners in to China, and letting them move freely? They've locked down interior movement but opened the border? That just smells like deception.
There's different ways. One where it moves into position, and others where the outlet is fixed but it's not in a position where you'd have any problems.
Five steps to kicking out CoronaVirus
Yes p2p, so to support higher numbers of people you'd need either a server somewhere doing compositing or selective forwarding (etc). I think a smart front-end client could do selective forwarding but would be tricky to get right (e.g. to consistently detect and forward the speaker).

EDIT: I meant to include, WebRTC itself does not prohibit such things, so the point was for small stuff it works w/ minimal setup, dumb client, and for bigger stuff it would still work, but would need more robust supporting code.
Nano-4.9 Is Released
If you look close at that article, what they describe is not a real "rules engine" but just a set of boolean valued functions.

Real business rules engines use something like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm

Production rules systems in the 1970s (when they were in vogue for "expert systems") did not use indexes and generally had poor execution performance compared to modern "business rules" engine.

Production rules are related to other logic-based methods of programming such as "logic programming" (which tends to progress backwards from a desired consequence to prove it is satisfied) or "theorem provers" that could demonstrate that a section of code satisfies certain invariants.

Repeatable Execution
I had been using quite a few MP3 players before the iPod but the iPod was the first device that brought together high capacity with very good usability. A very similar thing happened with the iPhone. There were smart cellphones with all the features before but the iPhone was the first to combine everything into an elegant package. I think that always was the real strength of Apple starting from the Apple II: wrapping everything together into a really nice package.

2 months ago China had already announced human to human transmission.

WHO isn't a an omniscient god. They don't have any information that regional authorities don't give them. If Chinese government lies, that's the Chinese government's crime.

People got sick at a fish market in December. It was reported up to government as a potentially novel illness by Dec 31.

A mere 2 weeks later on Jan 14 there was no clear evidence of transmission yet, because viruses take time to transmit and incubate and sicken and get reported to authorities.
On Jan 20 Chinese authorities announced human transmission.

> I don't think I agree with that definition of exercise.

I don't see a compelling reason to dispense with a dictionary definition

> There is not a requirement that it must be for the sake of developing fitness.

It's not an exhaustive definition, but it is practical one, it's also unambiguous in its meaning, and applies to discussions about medical outcomes. Escaping from a wild animal is technically exercise but it's not really what the word is meant to convey. If you spent a day in the woods escaping from a wild bear, when you arrived home and someone asked you "what did you do today", you wouldn't say "I was out exercising" because that's just not how the word is used.

> Well, no, that's not quite true.

Yes it is true. We could make predictions about weight and muscle mass over time.

Machine Learning Articles (March 2020)
For react there are very good dev tools that shows you the component tree and the current state.

Barring that it is generally just a lot of components that "writes a view" from the current state. You can also easily break inside the render function and see what properties were sent to the component if you don't want to use the dev tools.

I guess Svelte lacks extra tools.

You can see how it was falsely sourced by adding it in front of the source that does indeed confirm (it being a re-hash of Shelton's earlier book The Life of Isle Royale, published in 1975) that Siskwit Lake is oligotrophic, but says nothing in support of the added material.
I was constantly shopping around for MP3 players, they were too expensive with too little space, or not great reliability. The issue is that for a young person, such as myself, this was a big investment. The best thing to do before the iPod was really an mp3 cd player, because you could have many of these CDs.

If all we're working with anecdata, I honestly don't know anyone who didn't have an mp3 collection before the iTunes store.
This is great. I'd love to see automated recurring scheduled scans and it e-mails me the results if anything changes.
2 problems:

Scientists don't have that precise knowledge of what the human body is made of. There is a whole microbriome of non human organisms that are vital to our health.

2) Even if we did, it would still be a major accomplishment to find something that kills everything else but not us. We are happy when we find a treatment that kills 1 bad thing without killing us.

3) The only mechanism we have for artificial immunity is vaccines. These do not kill anything; they just train our immune system. Given how our immune system works, this limits us to a blacklist approach, of training it to attack specific proteins.
I can say that I've found a configuration which works for me, but it's good enough just for occasional quick patching, not for writing long form programs.
