One of my main points is that you need to look beyond earnings per share to see the bigger trend.

What slide/s would you use from the JP Morgan Guide that is better than the St. Louis Fed chart I featured?

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=qx3r

The Chart on Page 7 looks fantastic but it is earnings per share, not total profits before taxes.

The question I would ask is why the stock market graph looks so different than the St. Louis "Corporate profits before tax" graph?

My hypothesis is that many of these companies borrowed a lot of money in the bond market to buy back their shares and thereby juice their earnings per share.
Facebook should come up with this!
I believe the cookies passed into the webview are limited to a specific domain. So the app developer says “open a webview for Facebook.com” and the webview includes cookies only for the stated domain.
What if you export your Illustrator files to SVG?

Just an idea.
I moved from Inkscape to Affinity Designer. The interface for Affinity Designer is orders of magnitude better but I do like that Inkscape lets you load + save to SVG files instead of being geared towards a proprietary forward. However, after a while, I kept finding when I would Google "how to X in Affinity Designer" and find a feature I thought was obvious was missing with no plans to implement it.

I ended up switching to Sketch and it's orders of magnitude again better for me. I primarily draw icons, logos and interface mockups. Sketch gives you lots of ways for quickly iterating over lots of mockups that I couldn't find in Affinity Designer so I'm much happier now.

Either way, they're both good for different use cases and both have free trials.

I'm considering Figma now because I don't like being tied to using a Mac and want something that might work on a Chromebook. You can run Inkscape on Chromebooks now but I'm pretty sure sure I can't go back to the interface. Are there any alternatives I haven't considered?
Interesting questions. I had already slowed down my browsing and commenting on HN after about 5 years of using HN when I noticed that using the site was making me more negative. I noticed that I was getting into a pattern of making negative comments on HN because it was getting me more upvotes so I decided on my own to stop using HN as much.

I spent a couple years not really participating on HN or anywhere else, just lurking periodically. Later I started using Twitter actively (mostly for work purposes). Many of the people in my community on Twitter are heavily critical of HN. Look up "the orange site" on Twitter for examples of a common way that people disparagingly refer to HN on Twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%22the%20orange%20site%22&src=t...

I wouldn't say that Twitter influenced my opinion of HN though, it just confirmed to me that there were other people who were also feeling uncomfortable with some of the personality types and commenting patterns on HN. Of course Twitter has its own serious problems with negativity as well haha.
Absolutely nothing about public internet in any way implies anything even remotely related to your strawman argument.
That claim doesn't match reality.

Ppm growth by year is sub-exponential even if above linear (looks like quadratic is a better first order approximation): https://datahub.io/core/co2-ppm

Actual temperature rise is actually a logarithmic function of co2 ppm, literally the opposite of exponential: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration...
ah neat, thanks!
For interest's sake, did you try simply using a decent regex engine as an alternative? Any DFA regex engine implicitly implements Aho-Corasick for you.
How does it use AI?
Why should that be what it takes to solve this issue, though? We have the capabilities down here on Earth; they're just stymied by crony capitalism and regulatory capture.
I read that the stimulus bill is offering a forgivable loan for small businesses if they don’t layoff.
Basically taxpayers paying for employees salary. Let me see if I can find the source...

This could be one of many reasons.

You're implicitly claiming that it's fair for me to enslave you so long as I end up giving you a better education than you otherwise would have had, for example.

So I could go to a poor country and enslave a bunch of people and train them up and get them to write code for my companies for several generations (all completely against their will - through physical force), and that would be fine with you?

We're trying to construct good incentives for the world here. Your system of incentives doesn't sound great to me.
They edited their comment after I wrote mine. It would have been much more polite for them to reply.

Let's dispense with the requirement that I provide you with a comprehensive legal framework that would nicely sort all countries into whether they are responsible for colonial reparations or not. I live in America, so I'll just say that America's (and basically all of Europe's) direct connection to colonialism is so obvious (and continuing) that their responsibility need barely be justified.
Well thanks for inspiring the post! It triggered a pleasant trip back to a simpler time for me.
Deaths would also worsen an economic depression. Why does everybody forget about this?

Also, an economic depression reduces air pollution which would reduce deaths.

There are lots of factors that would need to be considered. Most people I’ve seen advocating this pov are stopping at the first order analysis.
We can have testing stations everywhere, available to everybody, providing some kind of certificate. You would have to show this certificate when entering stadiums or restaurants to prove you're not infected.

Still not perfect, but this could be a workaround.
Another, simpler solution would be to have the government stop promulgating/supporting the lies regarding fictional competition spread by companies like Comcast. There are lots of places where you have only one or two options, but the large national incumbents who have the ear of regulators will lie and claim that there are three times as many. The government grants them their moat.

There are lots of people who would like to be ISPs (including municipalities) who simply aren't allowed to be, because the regulators and the large national ISPs have conspired to pass lots of regulation that outlaws any real competition. It's absolutely shameful.

Manuals and books are different things.

Nobody should be expected to pay for a manual; that's part of the product. An advanced book? Sure.

Look at Resolve: It has an EXTENSIVE (and pretty decent) manual, which costs nothing... and for most users, neither does the product.
Almost all bankruptcies in the next two years are going to blame COVID-19. "It wasn't us, it was the $external_factor" is a way for management to avoid blame. In some cases (restaurants especially) the health crisis has wrecked businesses that have been profitable for many years and the external factor is legitimately the main cause. In other instances, the company was already headed toward bankruptcy and the virus is just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Depends what you mean by "large and scary". Some say it's already happening. See Australian fires, people killed in European heat waves, etc.
I would open a bar in a minute with this device. :) It would have 6 ft spaced lines day and night. 10 drink minimum with test.
My opinions, this all depends on the unknowable future, and utilities are typically regulated at the state level, so the answer will vary by state.

1) Probably about the same. I suspect law enforcement might end up with “easier” access (mostly because inter agency processes will be put in place) but the regulated ISP will be less able to do silly things like MITM 404 responses to thier search engine/ad page. Intel is a big question mark, but heck, it seems like they have just about everything already.
2) Better for underserved communities, possibly worse in the long term for everyone else. The closest existing utility, electricity, hasn’t seen anywhere near the same rate of change in consumption as bandwidth has. Once the utility level requirement is set for bandwidth it’s going to be hard to increase.
3) probably better, first amendment protection would still apply to individuals, while the quasi government status off utilities would make it harder for them to argue for any sort of “editorial control.”
4) Utilities are typically regulated at the state or local level. My local water district has to adhere to federal laws, but most of their governance is very local
I'd say that for widely used library code it makes sense to implement an efficient algorithm. By its very nature the context in which a library routine will be called is unknown and so it must be prepared for everything. Also for widely used code the amount of total saved machine time can be quite substantial.

In the story the senior dev makes a judgment call (that this routine will be used in LOB applications where the worst case is unlikely to appear so the implementation is OK) which is probably correct, especially considering other priorities. And of course senior devs are much better equipped to make this kind of calls than juniors, but they still can and will guess wrong.

> Moreover, Tim explained to me, any solution that involves allocating a table, preprocessing strings, and so on, is going to take longer to do all that stuff than the blazingly-fast-99.9999%-of-the-time brute force algorithm takes to just give you the answer.

That's why a good implementation will dispatch to the best algorithm at runtime!
> I just wish it could properly injest .AI files.

For me, it's the only non-Illustrator app that I tried that didn't mangle them too much (visually speaking). I had tried so many free and non-free (but inexpensive) apps on Mac and Windows that would have so many problems with .ai files. Once I would load them into an app, the would look nothing like I expected them to. My use case for .ai files is usually to simply convert them to svg or emf to be able to insert them into documents.

Thankfully I didn't have a need to edit them, because it sounds a little nightmarish from your experience.
When you say, very likely, can you put a percent on it so we know if you mean 20% or 80%?
The negotiations were certainly not on the record, but we know who was at the table from reporting and where many provisions came from.

* Senators Hoeven and Stabenow secured the $9.5 billion and other aid for the agricultural industry.

* Senators Thune and Warner pushed for the new tax benefit for employers helping employees pay off student loans.

* Senator Shelby got a cap on funds being used for dredging work on harbors removed.

* Senator Leahy ensured every state got a minimum of $1.5 billion in funds so small states weren't left out.

* Senator Booker got the Bureau of Prisons to making videoconferencing free for inmates.

Obviously Secretary Mnuchin and Senator Schumer did most of the heavy lifting.

I can't find anything about Senator Sanders, and that clip is from after the unemployment provisions were already in the bill. The Senator didn't mention anywhere in that speech that he pushed for the inclusion of the unemployment provisions. He actually said "this isn't the bill I would have written," which I personally would have followed up on with an explanation of what I did to make the bill better if I had worked on it.
I don't think that fracturing the regulations & approval processes into 50 different jurisdictions would be all that helpful. It would in fact greatly inhibit companies that do business in multiple states. Which set of rules do they follow? Lawsuits would abound whenever there's an issue and the rules of any jurisdiction they might operate within could be contrived to apply to the situation.

And consider the current circumstances: Yes, things are relaxed in an emergency. How would that be any different? State-level, or any level of oversight, would also be relaxed in an emergency. All that shows is that sensitivity to risk changes (decreases) when there is a crisis. It doesn't invalidate the greater level of care taken when there is the time to take it.

Also, no matter what level you impose oversight & regulation, patients will not be in a position to determine their desired level of risk. If it happens at the state level, there can still be plenty of people who would like a different risk threshold: They won't get it though.

Finally, it ignores the fact that what might be in the best interest of a more local jurisdiction (say, it costs less money) it might be very much against the best interests of others. A jurisdiction that decides it's comfortable with higher risk does not exist in a vacuum: It's comfort with higher risk would also bleed over into neighboring areas.

Far better to have a uniform set of guidelines and make exceptions on a case by case basis in emergencies, rather than make everything an exception, which would make coordination & consistency during a crisis a complete nightmare.
Depends how we do it.

What if the infrastructure was government owned but you bought service through a reseller. This is the US cell phone model for many carriers. Also old school AOL / dial-up style. Perhaps your reseller provides your modem/router (or states what modems(/+router) you can configure for their service)

Want everything managed for you? Get AOL. They send you a box, it had their configurations and management tools so they can monitor your traffic and ensure good service... Read your emails, whatever. You had a thousand options and trusted this provider.

Want a security focused provider? Sign up for one that provides a setup that VPNs traffic to your specification. You had 30 different options here, so you pick the right balance for you.

Want to trust the government and just pass through? Will that might not be allowed... But someone will probably provide you an option for bare minimum pricing.

With these options, perhaps you get your government provided service, but if there's issues you get support through that private entity that escalates issues or perhaps does doorstop support (or remote testing) and then they escalate to government-run infrastructure system. If the government needs work done, they contract out work to a vendor appropriate for the type of work and area of the service request (assuming the issues is outside the home.. inside the home is on your reseller).

NOT saying this is the way to go, just that this is an option for public-private partnership.

With this style of service, the fiber will probably have issues, but how often does a bridge actually collapse and not get cleaned up/ fixed? Currently we play hot potato with decaying lines, selling the infrastructure praying they're not holding the asset when it actually fails massively.

In response to your questions:
1) if you want security/encryption, this model could allow you to get that by your ISP through the in-home equipment.
2) let people buy bandwidth plans, your ISP marks it up for their service and support fee, and passes it to you. Government could adjust what's available based on the capacity of the area/infrastructure with the same options being available regardless of your ISP. If you're a business and you need more than what a single fiber line can provide, perhaps offer an additional service to run additional lines with additional costs.
3) traffic should be encrypted, so government can't see in the first place, but when if it wasn't.. if you're accessing illegal material they should have just cause.. and should then make a request to your ISP (much like they do to access your cell phone records). Pick an ISP that meets your morals/concerns.
4) not sure exactly what your mean here.. but given shouldn't be directly serving people. They have the mailmen driving to your house delivering packets hopefully in sealed safes... But your service provider (easy mode) or your personal hardware (advanced) handles opening the safe.

Again, this is a 30 minute free flowing thought. Not at all a proposal... Just an idea.
Yes, this makes things better.

But then you will have to deal with the non-negligible amount of programs that use the exit value to return information. It is still better to place exceptions on failing code than to ignore errors that can wipe out your entire system, but it's not really good either way.
Well, its a pity you start by accusing me I don't know what I'm talking about, when you support that by precisely ignoring my point: what is the 'Dutch' you're referring here? I argue that is not people now living in the territory of that state, that no people in the Dutch state right now (well, a few oldies excepted) played part in those atrocities.

I hesitate to say more. Yourexample is particular bit of history is actually for me family history, so I think I know quite a bit, but you tone and neglect of my argument makes it seem you have a bone to pick, which you can do very well without me.

I for one will never accept people being dragged into blood feuds, carrying over unto I don't know how many generations of descendants. That's just reusing classic nationalist/capitalists arguments.

I hope any reader got my point that inequality is a huge problem and that blood feud accounting is not a solution, just continuation.

I know what you’re saying and I hear you but I think the “it’s already over we should just give up” attitude that comes up whenever these types of discussions arise is what causes them to win. The first step to reversing their influence is not viewing it as acceptable.
I know nothing about the biology, but I don't think the fact that a fraudulent company failed at a very difficult scientific problem is much evidence.
The senior probably had both Knowledge and Understanding, and decided (correctly) in a split second which solution was good enough in all applicable dimensions, including the temporal (is it easy to change this if we have to?)
Great to know since it’ll be awhile before they have lenses to replace my F mount ones.
> It is now abundantly clear which party values what, and for whom. If we would rather vote based on 'abortion preventing our souls from partying with Jesus in heaven' instead of 'municipal broadband for all residents as a public utility', then we're going to continue to complain about this for another 50 years and beyond.

If that were true, it'd be great. But which is the party that supports municipal broadband for all residents as a public utility? California has a Democratic governor, Democratic legislature, and in the most populous areas Democratic local government, and yet no municipal broadband.

There's a map here of which state legislatures have passed restrictions on municipal broadband, and it seems pretty idiosyncratic relative to blue/red politics: https://broadbandnow.com/report/municipal-broadband-roadbloc... E.g. WV, OH, IN, IL, KY, GA, NM, VT are friendly to it, while WA, OR, TX, CO, AL, PA, FL, MA are unfriendly.
Just on a massively larger scale.
I guess I'm not sure I see why we're the ones who have to move. I'd be totally fine with a proposal to construct voluntary social distancing sites for people who'd like to spend the next 18 months isolated.
I don't think her DSL argument is coherent. The only reason DSL is available to most houses is that those wires were put in by a municipal phone company or highly regulated monopoly. Anybody who has talked to a DSL tech knows that a lot of that infrastructure is creaky, many decades old. We need to figure out what to do for the next century.

Personally, I think we should at least look at the local loop as a natural monopoly. Just like the city is expected to own and maintain the road to your house, it should own and maintain the digital equivalent. From your house to the POP, it's city fiber. From the POP onward, sure, let that be run commercially, with a free minimum tier, say 5 mb/s. If you want anything more, you can contract with any ISP who has a presence in your POP. That way we get both a truly competitive marketplace and universal access.
> from the bush-omaba-trump admin become the most corrupt organization one can think of

I don't know whether they were corrupt, but Tom Wheeler did a fantastic job from a consumer rights & Internet health perspective during the Obama admin. Most notably he implemented Title II regulations to enforce net neutrality (since undone by a Republican), but also supported municipal broadband (since undone by a Republican), fought against several huge communication company mergers (since undone by a Republican), and supported content providers against ISPs charging interconnection fees.

> nothing about public internet in any way implies anything even remotely related to your strawman argument

Why not? If the government has a monopoly on internet access, it becomes easier for voters to call for certain sites being blocked or certain sorts of traffic be monitored and/or intercepted.
Most residents of Los Altos Hills could afford to have dedicated fiber brought directly to their homes, including all of the hardware to terminate it. But thanks for your humblebrag...I'm sure we'll make it a top priority to attend to the poor residents of America's most expensive zip code.
I have a lot of problems with this conceptually, but I think we should do something like this eventually. My biggest problem is my wife is sick, I’m not, I have a certificate that says I’m totally fine but I could now be infected, might be contaminating things, etc. What good is a certificate? We’d need to be tested almost constantly for it to mean anything.

As GP mentioned, Serif offers free online tutorials. It's just that they also sell additional "workbooks".

Ask HN: How do you avoid micromanaging?
Quite often I find my self watching others on my team very close, commenting on every PR, trying to have an opinion on every discussion, etc. While I understand I am doing it, at the same time I find it hard to stop my self, in the fear of things going "wrong" or not work.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to letting the team (or individuals) go on their own?
And how do you determine which citizens will have to pay up? Just the White English people, or are the White Polish people also responsible?

What about the Nigerian/Pakistani/Jamaican/Indian English folk?

And, if you say that should not be limited to current passport nationality (in case of the White English) but who their ancestors were, and we test everyone's DNA and so, there's a lot of Americans and other people who will be liable?

Moreover, do people with mixed ethnicity pay partial reparations to reflect the number of 'national' genes in their genome, and how many thousands of years are we going to backdate this?
Democrats have a statewide monopoly on power thanks in part to the people who live in Los Altos Hills. And why would any government ever prioritize subsidizing infrastructure for the wealthiest zip code in the entire nation?
