>Some Todd & Claire site that appeared out of nowhere tried to frame Assange for being a pedophile while he was locked in an embassy, while you're at it.

I mean, sure, plenty of people have lied about Assange and WikiLeaks, obviously.

>You call that "Pizzagate," but none of the stuff claims anything about Clinton at all as far as I can see, it's just Alefantis' weird Instagram (and former business logos) or Podesta's odd taste in artwork and word choices, which are well-documented and archived, but certainly not proof that any of them engaged in anything like child exploitation.

WikiLeaks' tweet says:

>>CBS Reality Check covers Pizzagate. https://www.facebook.com/BenSwannRealityCheck/videos/1330641...

>>https://file.wikileaks.org/file/FBI-pedophile-symbols.pdf

I'm just referring to what they tweeted. Clearly this was to spread suspicion that the emails, which they leaked, might indicate Clinton is involved with pedophiles (i.e. spreading fear that Pizzagate may be real). I believe they also had one other tweet hinting at the same thing, which I remember seeing at the time, but I can't find it right now. They didn't come right out and say it explicitly, but it's an attempt at propaganda.

And if you're trying to convince me that Pizzagate is fake: yes, I absolutely know it's a bullshit unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.

It seems like your post should be directed at Assange, instead? I'm having trouble understanding what point you're trying to make.

>Additionally, many of the emails can be verified via DKIM and this has been done in an HN story from the time.

Who's disputing that? I know the emails are almost certainly legit.
I've never been confused by what the hosts are laughing about listening to this show.

Maybe you have trouble with non-visual social cues?
I don't get it. What disaster preparedness role does RHV play that the much larger and extremely nearby SJC cannot play?
I don't really see Washington being a problem, it's other US states. Plus I see the provinces as being way easier to isolate than US states.
The claim wasn’t about JIT in general, but rather about JS.
Downvoters might want to read that full Twitter thread. You may not appreciate the potential gravity of what I've italicized above, but there are comments in the thread from people who do.
Tourism is incredibly popular and makes up something like 10% of the world GDP. An outcome that permanently ends international tourism is very unlikely, especially given the number of previous pandemics that haven't caused that.
Technically yes, but the AOT step in practice does almost no optimizations and is just a direct translation, at least if you're using the mainstream javac. It's there just to simplify the VM/JIT, so the latter can read bytecode instead of textual source code.

There have been attempts at AOT compiling Java, but afaict they have very little usage. GCJ, now dead, was the main one for years. There's also a newer experimental compiler jaotc: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/295.
Not sure why this is downvoted; Japan isn't significantly different from any of the places you mentioned
I mean to say the bytecode is the input to the JIT.
Yep, you just jogged my memory. I was living and working in Goleta at the time and I definitely recall seeing those folks every time I went to campus and even IV of the course of a few weeks.
This is not a complaint about libraries or library patrons. I love and use libraries. Authors love to see their books in libraries, including their ebooks. The details matter. Scanning a book and putting it on the internet without the right to do so is not what a library does.
I guess if you get your California economic outlook from Grover Norquist's spokesman, you might get an incomplete picture. May I recommend a second source, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other reputable agency?
I've been getting that feature request a lot, and if you are aware of any libraries that would print out minified HTML+CSS of a certain div/section, please do let me know. That's what I'm struggling with here since the whole thing is in React + Tailwind CSS, very connected to the build process.
I’ve worn many N95 masks and have constantly been touching my face to adjust them while being worn, they also irritate your skin around your face where they try to make a seal (this wasn’t even a pandemic, just a 700+ bad air day). They are super uncomfortable. Surgical masks are easy to wear in comparison, but they are also basically noops.
The problem isn't just cost of living, it's that these are seasonal jobs. You will be out of work for 3-6 months of the year, so although these jobs typically pay slightly more than the minimum wage, it's not enough to survive the rest of the year. Plus a lot of these farms are in remote places which aren't that desirable for young people to live (compared to cities).

Someone else posted that around 10% of what you pay for fruit and vegetables goes to the farmers, so maybe that's where we should start to fix the issue.
It is, but that’s not saying a lot and it’s still far far slower than Go/Java/C#, and it also isn’t compatible with lots of existing Python code. Such as anything that would like to talk to a Postgres database. Pypy is great, but it can’t fix a broken ecosystem and general lack of leadership in the Python community. :(

(Broken ecosystem = lots of things don’t work with lots of other things; package managers are another example; Mypy another)
> but why specifically the United States? [...] but why specifically the US?

Possibly because, as it says in the second line of the article, the US now has the highest number of confirmed cases (more than 124,000 currently, from around 660,000 confirmed worldwide).
The fact that Japan is only banning US travelers, instead of banning all foreigners, is pretty newsworthy.
In my experience Go is amazing for webserver development. Very easy to learn and you can build things very quickly.

However, I still use C++ for extremely complex networked applications where performance matters, unfortunately Rust doesn’t have battle tested crypto libraries, so I wouldn’t personally use it for networked applications.
Thanks for deciding for authors whether they have a right to be paid for their labor.
Surgical masks are roughly 6 times better than nothing.

I have also worn N95 masks and they aren't as uncomfortable as you describe.
The CAHSR could not have saved any money in 2010 because it wasn't funded until 2012.
There are two kinds of vampire cards, the new standalone and the older ones that piggyback off of an existing Amiga.

The Vampire standalone is not really "a new Amiga with superior specs". It has a lot of compatibility issues and it comes with AROS firmware by default which is not Amiga OS but an extremely buggy OS reimplementation by volunteers that's still far from being complete. The main issue with standalone Vampire is that it tries to do too much and is basically a closed-source incomplete (e.g. it still doesn't do AGA properly) FPGA reimplementation of classic Amiga hardware. The Mister FPGA does similar things but is opensource and is a much better proposition in my view.

The vampire cards that slot into existing Amiga machines are basically CPU accelerators with a lot of memory and a graphics card built-in. Again, I find them a lot better than the standalone vampire. It's too bad that the Apollo team (creators of Vampire) keep biting off more than they can chew by branching into side-projects all the time and not honoring promises they made in the past (e.g. Gold 3 core for Vampire 600).
The experts in charge should not need a formal news release from China before taking action. While China may very well be at fault for an initial coverup, using that fact as an excuse for inaction is inexcusable.

You may have the right of way walking across the street, but if a car runs over you, you're still dead regardless of what your "rights" are.
Obviously, the answer is to stop distinguishing between an employee and a contractor. Arbitrary thresholds have never been good policy.
That schematic of a Tesla coil is the same as a spark-gap transmitter, except of course the latter is designed to emit as much as possible and has an antenna connected where the output torus would be; see page 375 of this excellent book: https://archive.org/details/principlesunderl00unit

(Although very old, that book is great at explaining the basics of what radio actually is.)
I did check out JSON resume, a bit later after I made this, but the schema that I'm using it's too far fetched from what JSON Resume uses, and with a few tweaks, like adding an ID field, or adding heading tags (so that resume sections headings can be in any language of the user's choice). The JSON I've made is a bit more flexible that way, specific to the application. Maybe this could be the new standard? (hehe)
If you steal my book from the "Emergency Library" instead of buying an electronic copy, I get financially impacted.
China fucking up and being slow to react does not excuse everyone else doing it too. And, yes, eight weeks after China stopped lying.
This is interesting; what benefit/advantage does it have over IMAP-level email management tools like imapfilter[1]?

I don't ask that to be confrontational; I've successfully managed several email inboxes on several different providers for years with plain old IMAP rules, so I'd like to know if there's anything I'm missing.

What's the problem with Postgres on PyPy? Running fine in production here.
You seem to have more familiarity than me with Java :). So I guess V8 JITs some kind of p-code then? If V8 allowed full AOT comp. to the internal bytecode, then the perf would theoretically be around Java’s avg perf?
Jerry Brown passed the California "rainy day fund" in November 2014 on the same ballot on which he was re-elected. Literally re-elected on a budget surplus platform.

No surprise here; Americans aren't taking as seriously as they should while Japanese people are very clean and highly protective of their health. Hopefully people are still allowed to go back to Japan if that's where their home is and only travel for pleasure or business is banned.
I’m not speaking about developers complaining, I’m speaking about the fact that it’s still a fractured ecosystem and plenty of popular programs, packages, and scripts still in use or even still actively developed rely on or integrate with Python 2 (exclusively).
> Point 1, yes, sick people should wear masks. This is already known. Most people aren't sick.

> Most people aren't sick.

How do you know this given the vast majority of cases are asymptomatic.
You offload all the processing to the gmail backend? No compute needed on your part?
> Did you know Parachutes have never had a randomised controlled trial to determine whether they are effective?

Because people used them and it was obvious when they worked and when they didn't. That's not the case for masks.

From https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-travel-restricti...

As of March 15, Japan has banned entry to foreign travelers with Chinese passports issued by Hubei and Zhejiang provinces, as well as those who have visited regions in China that have been affected by the virus, South Korea, Iran or Italy within the last 14 days.

On March 18, Japan added two provinces of Switzerland, four states in Spain and the entire country of Iceland to the list. The ban will become effective at midnight on March 19.

The government said that starting March 21, travelers from 38 countries would need to self-quarantine for 14 days in facilities approved by the Japanese authorities.

Those countries include the 26 members of the European Schengen countries, as well as Ireland, Andorra, Iran, Britain, Egypt, Cyprus, Croatia, San Marino, the Vatican, Bulgaria, Monaco and Romania.
Plenty of other countries are already on that list.
I would say that

1. Current system allows running over budget too easily

2. Many costs are difficult to cut (like unionized state employees)

3. Alternatively, the low hanging fruit is cut very fast when budget requires balancing.
Reliance on the WHO is insanity given their kow-towing to Chinese political pressure. The U.S. intelligence agencies were on this in January.

We had 56 days (8 weeks) to prepare. To ramp up masks, gowns, ventilators and possible treatments such as hyrdoxycholorquine/Z-pak as a treatment despite the lack of double blind peer reviewed data. This is an unmitigated disaster brought on by a failure of national leadership.

On that note, I am watching Dr. Who "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" on PBS in self-isolation to distract me from the unfolding horror that is our hospitals.
My wife's last day was the 10th but I had tried to get them to stop earlier, basically put my foot down. We actually left the city that Saturday, now we are dealing with driving around northern New Hampshire with NY plates. Locals are starting to take more notice.

Read "Worse is Better" by Richard Gabriel.

It's not the only factor in the Amiga story since Commodore's incompetence in the business and marketing domain is the stuff of legend, but it certainly resonates.
Except the hotel is in the middle of the city, and there are other non-quarantined residents living in the same hotel who are almost certainly going to get sick. I think the correct solution is what Vietnam has done -- convert military barracks into a quarantine centers so that suspected cases cannot infect the general public.

This is also much better than the self-isolation policy that they had until a few days ago (because food and other basic services are provided to the isolated people, so there's no risk of people coming into contact with others when trying to get groceries delivered).
I’m not sure what you are suggesting here. Power lines can be buried but what’s the alternative to residential streets?

InstaHardv
InstaHard surprisingly not only works, but it works extremely effectively for upwards of 90% of its users within the first 12 days. That’s a pretty significant success rate that not every product out there can boast, which is a huge win for the company behind InstaHard.

Is InstaHard Male Enhancement Safe?

There are a few symptoms attached to InstaHard despite it being a homegrown cure. A few clients may encounter sentiments of distress like queasiness, nosebleed, or wooziness in the wake of taking if the body hasn’t yet become accustomed to it.In that capacity, it is encouraged to get the item just from the Official Website or confided in provisions to decrease the odds of encountering undesirable impacts.The warnings given for this sex enhancer pill are; first, clients ought and not to overdose, and in the event of enduring undesirable outcomes, they should quit taking it and alarm their primary care physician.

> pointing out that this will make it harder for them to eat and pay rent during the isolation period.

This implies that "during the isolation period" modifies "harder to eat and pay rent" in a meaningful fashion. Restaurant workers are having a harder time paying rent.

Authors save for a privileged minority have traditionally struggled to pay rent as well but presumably no more than normally.

Is this the upcoming demise of the US?
I know the title sounds clickbaity and kind of nonsense, but hear me out for a second.

Imagine a country that forced a lockdown on its citizens, but didn't have any borders whatsoever. It would be impossible for this country to contain the outbreak because no matter the length of its lockdown, if there are no inbound-travel controls, once the lockdown is lifted (or earlier than that), then a new outbreak would begin again. Border control is the most important thing to keep the curve flat, then.

Now, think about this: I was not actually talking about a country, but about a state of the US. They don't have intra-state borders, and each state is acting differently (some have forced lockdowns, some don't). Therefore the pandemic is going to be brutal in the US, not only because of its length (it will not stop until the whole country forces a lockdown or there is a ban to mingle in public without a mask), but because of their rudimentary healthcare system.

I hope I'm wrong, or I hope this teaches them a lesson: to build safety-nets structure such as the public healthcare systems that are predominant in Europe.
I think there might be some misunderstanding. There was a good comment on Reddit [1] about how all this was legal. From what I gathered, libraries scanned books that didn't have digital copies already made, and offered them to patrons to "check out". They used software to make sure that they only checked out a total combined digital/print number equal to the number of print copies they had bought, with software to make sure they couldn't be copied. That seems fair, to me (and is, apparently, legal). The National Emergency Library basically opens that up to anyone now, however, with no limits on how many times a book can be checked out at once.

If I had a crystal ball, six months ago we could’ve picked a good date. But that doesn’t mean I should have shut things down sixth months ago. We’re asking our governments to look ahead and make decisions.
Sequences of interactions with the DB which are either atomically committed to on success of the sequence, or rolled back on failure, so that the DB is in the same state it had before the interactions began.

No they're not. They have high per-capita case numbers and no better success at slowing the growth rate than others.
The Java JIT has static type information to work with, the JS JIT can only infer type information via heroic efforts. Static types do mean something, especially when working with primitives and other unboxed data types.
You don't need to do any geometry. Your GPS module will simply output the speed.

While you can calculate based on position fixes, it is more accurate for the GPS to do it. It does not do a simple distance/time calculation but can instead look at the phase / doppler shift of the GPS signals. This ends up being much more accurate.

I have been watching the Cuomo NYS briefings for the past two weeks. This is what leadership looks like. He fucked up early with the "we won't shut down the economy" bit but has come around. Similarly, Gov. Pritzker of Illinois has been on top of this, apart from his fuckup of allowing the primary elections to to go through putting people on top of each other to maintain a regular election cycle.

Mike DeWine has been the gold standard in kicking the primary election down the road. Elections should be held by mail-in ballot, I have been doing it in Illinois since 2004. Why Illinois decided to have a bunch of people crammed together in the Lincoln Park library last week boggles the mind and will be a stain on Pritzker's and Illinois otherwise reasoned response to this health emergency.

Yes, I'm reading the actual study too. It proves nothing which is why they conclude with:

> We recommend a more compre- hensive intervention study to accurately estimate the pro- tective effect of face masks for preventing influenza virus transmission on long-distance flights.

accurately being the operative word.

> Just because you can't limit transmission all day does not mean that you should not try at all.

I have not suggested not to try, only to do things that actually work and are evidence based. Would you suggest wearing an amulet? They wear those in Asia too. They have a modern version in the shops in Japan, I forget its name but it's a little bag of something you wear round your neck that they claim prevents flu transmission.

> Just because we can't completely eliminate Covid-19 doesn't mean that we shouldn't flatten the curve.

That's a poor comparison, of course we should flatten the curve using methods that are shown to be effective.
