It really doesn’t help that the WHO and various governments lied to people about masks... many people already distrust these authorities and think it’s a hoax/conspiracy. Good luck now that we know they lied about the masks! I get why that was done, but maybe there would have been a better way like explaining hospitals need the masks but you can make some yourself at home or use a scarf to mitigate the effects.

How many new designs have come out over the last 2 weeks? HN front page has seen several already.
Stupid question - if I wanted to import those into an iPad app and colour them there(using an Apple Pencil or similar) - what would be the best way to do that?

Inflation is also a matter of expectations. Everyone is expecting a huge wave of loan defaults in the next year, not just home mortgages but all types of loans. Due to the way that fractional reserve lending works, defaults reduce the money supply just as surely as shredding $100 bills.
I also have one of these (Leap) and have been pretty happy with it. It's very adjustable so I have no problem getting comfortable in it.

I did not have the luxury of trying other high end chairs, though, so I couldn't offer any comparisons. I bought it secondhand for ~$350 sight unseen.
That would not be done on Ground Station, at least in standard regions. Once you hit that level, you are into at least the Gov region.

That being said, those agencies already have huge ground stations at their disposal run by NASA and other "groups". They don't need this service, they would ingest them over NIPRNet or SIPRNet directly into AWS Gov or AWS Gov Secret for processing.

Magicdocs is essentially different from google docs. While g-docs is more focused on collaboration and creating PDFs, magicdocs is a simple no-code tool that enables anyone to create beautiful responsive websites.

It's much more focused on sharing client-facing documents. We also plan to foster doc interactivity with like notifications, payments, and buttons (things that pdfs can't do).
My congratulations to Jason and team! I am very happy that your 6 years effort led to merging in mainline.
Whilst you may view them as personal issues - they are experience and not unique to him.

Yes, does seem many are aware of Yelp being scummy (nice way of putting it), but only those who are more technically aware to see thru their scummy bully tactics, tactics that hurt and can destroy a business. Many who are not technically minded and they equally suffer at their hands without knowing why as many users out there are not technically aware and with that will blindly trust those reviews and Yelp and those users are the majority.

Now they are abusing a pandemic to be even more scummy, they need to be held to account and shown to those common users what they are about and stopped.

I just want to see fairness and with that, really want to see the word put out so those lessers users start to see the truth as we all know, they have been allowed thru whatever reason to carry on doing this and are not improving, indeed - getting worse.
I think of woodworking as a very similar discussion. People would wear N95s when working with a shit-ton of visible particulates, but otherwise are constantly leaving their lungs unprotected. The resultant progressive loss of long function is pronounced. But try to convince woodworkers that N95s should be a de facto daily driver. “My daddy worked wood all his life and was healthy as a horse until the day he dropped dead”
I plan to open source it soon but I want to try it out on at least one personal project first to figure out any holes in the api before I release it.

I have it working with a sample page that renders three dates (static webpack render date, phoenix render date and current date that updates each second with a timer) but I think I need to try it on a real page with real data.
Whoa thanks for this document. Definetly something to keep, ready to share every time I hear the now usual "Masks are only if you have symptoms".
Congratulations Jason! Wireguard is a joy to use.
As I was reading about the problems this system needs to solve and the issues with Kyoto Tycoon, I thought that LMDB might be a good foundation for a solution. So I was gratified to find out that Quicksilver indeed uses LMDB. I gather Cloudflare has found that LMDB is indeed as reliable as it's advertised to be.

Looking forward to the eventual open-source release of Quicksilver.
I have research experience with MIP/LP and GUROBI but didn't know about the field of power systems simulations, so thanks for the suggestion!
Bingo! They are a commercial space launch company and there is money to be made (in internet access), so they're as cool as that is cool. You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs! It doesn't even matter if they your eggs! Just go for it!

So, no. Not cool. And speaking directly to your question: it is everyone's prerogative to make these sort of character judgements, just as you're making one now.

Prior to this crisis, N95 masks were the cheapest, most basic respiratory protection you'd find in a DIY store. Pack of ten for $20, between the sandpaper and disposable earplugs.

Perhaps due to poor fitting, they were also seen as questionably effective and prone to making your safety googles fog up.

Actually WireGuard is pretty easy in configuration. You can try any documentation in Internet, it's not hard at all https://www.ckn.io/blog/2017/11/14/wireguard-vpn-typical-set...

I advise you to try it on mobile devices or with unstable interested. It's a miracle!
I wonder if this is a pre-Internet generation / post-Internet generation assessment of story pace. Because I, born in '64, do not find the prose dry or slow at all. Other readers I've discussed the novel, I've noticed people born after the "jump cut edit" revolution that refaced entertainment media (basically MTV) have a harder time getting into the flow of earlier entertainment.
How does this work? I mean is there a text extraction model and some data format somewhere keeping track of everthing?
Good point. It seems they'll be much more spread out but with many more tracks so you'll see them ... everywhere, more or less?
This feels slightly misleading.

Step 3 is where projects end up when they grow sufficiently in complexity and/or features (React specifically is not a necessity but a good solution).

The problems that are being looked at by many of these frameworks, are pushed by the need of being able to use the same rendering and logic, tooling, language and so on for different stages of complexity/requirements.

These are real issues that people worry about and try to find solutions for. On the grand scheme of things these developments are about reducing pain and cost, while keeping up with or driving advancements in user (read: client) expectations.

For me it was less of a commentary on Buddhism and other actual teachings and more of a way to understand and feel okay about leaving paradigms you were raised by that don’t fill “the cup.” Maybe that’s not the takeaway most people want to hear, but I found that the way that topic is approached in this book refreshing. Does that make sense? As far as actual, less “meta” books, I’ve certainly found more helpful. But this one helped me feel less guilty about searching.
Actually, I've changed my mind. I still don't think an antibody test should be a prerequisite for current action, but I think it will be very useful for deciding what to do in a few weeks.
Linux could already interop with Windows via ntfs-3g. EXFAT is great for interop with both Windows and macOS on the same filesystem, as well as interop with digital camera storage.

You should prefer a different filesystem if possible, though. EXFAT lacks features like journaling that protect against corruption. But EXFAT support is great for when you don't have a choice.
Most people probably won't put it on correctly, per this claim:

"I remember my respirator training, the last time I worked in a hospital. They gave the standard two minute explanation, made you put the respirator on, and then made you go underneath a hood where they squirted some aerosolized sugar solution. If you could smell the sugar, your respirator was leaky and you failed. I tried so hard and I failed so many times. It was embarrassing and I hated it.

"I’m naturally clumsy and always bad at that kind of thing. Some people were able to listen to the two minute explanation and then pass right away. Those kinds of people could probably also listen to a two minute YouTube explanation and be fine. So I don’t want to claim it’s impossible or requires lots of specialized background knowledge. It’s just a slightly difficult physical skill you have to get right...You are unlikely to be able to figure out how to use an N95 respirator correctly. I’m not saying it’s impossible, if you try really hard, but assume you’re going to fail unless you have some reason to think otherwise."

If anyone is curious, here's Gauss's book [1] that contains the theorem. It is in Latin (Gauss published only in Latin), and you can find it at the bottom of page 24.

I refuse to tilt at straw telescopes, to mangle an idiom.
I've been using this resource: http://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/ in naming CSS colour variables for years. It can often help with that gray-700/800/900 or gray-light/lighter/lightest issue where another colour needs to be added to the palette between existing values.
We got fancy ergonomic chairs when moving offices a few years ago and immediately after the move I developed back pain. I tried adjusting the chair and we even had trained professionals come to help us adjust them, but it didn't seem to work. A coworker of mine had gotten a kneeling chair for his back issues at the same office, but that didn't work for him, so he let me borrow it. I noticed a positive difference immediately. The chair is a Varier Wing Balans and I have been using it at work for several years now.

When we switched to WFH due to the virus, we were unable to take office equipment home aside from necessary hardware which was securely shipped to us. Because of this and because the switch was too sudden for anyone to really be able to prepare their home environments, we got an allowance to buy some home office equipment and many people opted for chairs. The Wing Balans was a bit expensive for me to justify, so instead I got the Varier Variable Balans. Also a kneeling chair, but no adjustable height. Aside from being much cheaper, one thing I love is that it sits on two rocking rails instead of a wheeled base. I am a fidgeter and it lets me rock back and forth as I work. It lets me have just as much flexibility in my sitting position as the Wing Balans at the same time.

The one negative is that it can be quite fiddly to place properly - the Wing Balans single swivel foot does not get in the way of certain table legs as much as these two rails. I also learned that to take full advantage of this chair a height adjustable desk is recommended (which we have at work, but which I do not have at home). For example, if I want to sit on it by putting one or both feet up on the shin rests, my knees hit the underside of my normal-height desk. I've purchased a height-adjustable laptop stand which should be here this week and look forward to using the chair with that setup.
Much was learned from the banking crisis bailouts and good to see the French are mindful of that and addressing such issues that caused public outrage (rightly so) in a way that will curtail such abuse.
Maybe a little out of touch. Not about the new normal, but about being a consumer bank.

We are not micro services, we are a 'monolith', but with over 1600 components our developers call 'applications' and over 7,500 touch-points between them our developers call 'interfaces'. A single 'customer information file' touches dozens and dozens of these 'applications'.

For us, at least, what's going on is regulation. Every aspect of banking is heavily regulated, and each component of the monolith has to be compliant.

A notorious example is check settlement order. When checks come in for payment, the bank is supposed to process those checks in an order favorable to the bank customer not to the bank. For example, $1000 in an account, and you write one $995 check and a hundred $10 checks, if the bank pays the first one, the rest would bounce, causing $3500 in bounced check fees. If the bank pays all the $10 ones, just the $995 one would bounce, causing $35 in check fees. This is now regulated.

There are countless such rules, and no dev team can know them all. So you assemble third party component software that has the rules baked in, or if trying to greenfield, you have compliance teams that study all the rules for their areas and bake them into the software requirements -- and good luck, because in the USA, these rules can be different state by state or even zip code by zip code.

Easier to just decompose your monolith into components maintained by a group that contractually guarantees regulatory compliance for their specialization, and then pray (or rather, spend months regression testing after any change for quality assurance) the whole thing works when you glom it together.

In that world, suddenly something like K8s makes a lot of sense.
This is not a valid refutation of the content of the article.

You are arguing from the bottom levels of this pyramid: https://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/how-to-disagree-well-7-of-t...

One of the massive blind spots of this forum, is that we can productively discuss only the techie aspects of a situation without including politics.
While the general sentiment and advice you give is mostly correct, I feel like adding my two cents from my experience -- as a person who occasionally publishes in these sorts of journals.

In my opinion, you have the Science/Nature thing vs their spinoff exactly the other way around. Science/Nature only publish flashy things more for their "memeness" value than their actual scientific content. The first driver leading you to those journal is how much the paper can be talked about and picked up by other media outlets. In fact, the most important thing you need to publish in Science/Nature is NOT a good experiment/result, but being a coauthor of somebody who already has a lot of Science/Nature papers. Their spinoffs, on the other hand, being less driven by popularity, often offer more solid content.

Never read it, sorry :/
In my part of the US (midwest), you would be less likely to be shamed for wearing a mask, even before all this, than a bandanna.

Subsequently, that's the first time I've ever typed bandanna, and I just found out I've been spelling it wrong my entire life in writing. I thought it had one 'n' at the end. Weird.
Yes, but that's all done locally on your computer. All results are stored in a local config file and used for the search sorting.

No, what's special about exfat is that it will improve interoperability with embedded devices like digital cameras. Many embedded devices which use SD cards or similar understand only FAT32 (for smaller cards) or exFAT (for larger cards).

Someone else can give a much better comparison than me, this is just to get you started.

Compared to the 80% use case of OpenVPN, Wireguard is:

1. Much less code. A few thousand lines of code vs lots more for OpenVPN

2. Speedier. WG does UDP traffic so there is less overhead on the protocol level for syncs acks etc.

3. Easier on mobile battery life due to decreased complexity

For one example use case comparing them side by side, see PiVPN, which I use to setup a Raspberry Pi Zero W on my home network, create a client key for my phone, open a single port forward to the pivpn server, download the wireguard app, scan the qr code the pivpn key generated, and poof, I can check a box and 'be' on my home network, behind my pihole, and with access to my LAN resources.

OpenVPN can do that usecase with pivpn as well but its more processor intensive and a little more setup vs wireguard.

Yes, it's possible that existing drugs are effective against it, alone or on combination.

It's also quite likely (the norm, in fact, for viral diseases) that they aren't. It's not “we have antivirals we just have to find the right combination”, it's “we might get lucky and have a combination of an existing drug or combination of existing drugs that are effective”. As I said upthread we ought to be (and are) pursuing both approaches, vaccine and antiviral, not treating one as both certain and quicker and focussing exclusively on it, as another poster suggested upthread for antivirals.
3 blue one brown had a great video on exponential growth that detailed how a 10% difference in the numbers is the difference between being halfway there and having orders of magnitude to go.

As I'm sure you're aware, the point of the numbers isn't to change the reality of the situation, it's to understand what that reality is. And the people that care are epidemiologists and leaders with decades of experience fighting pandemic after pandemic. You know, people that know what they're talking about? Might be worth trying to spend time actually learning how the people that are spending day and night trying to save your life and the lives of your loved ones do their work before dismissing them as useless.

And adding to what guerrilla said, it seems to end up bad more easily than fat32, at least in my experience. I only have anecdata for this, but old files appearing as 0 bytes, filesystems that decide they won't mount again, things that I've only had and seen on other people's systems with exfat.
Are Viruses Alive? (2004)
Dividends would also go up if there are fewer stocks and the same profit, no?
Investors need to change our market valuation attitude and stop expecting that companies jeopardize their operations/stability so that they give us pennies from their cashier forever. Public companies should not be allowed to pay dividends/buybacks or in other terms to use their savings to keep paying in perpetuity fictional obligations. The initial investors (who are the only ones that physically put money in the balance sheet of the company), are being rewarded by the increase of the share price (like Amazon, Google etc). The shareholders that are coming later, are being rewarding by holding something of value, and their participation in the board can increase/decrease this value. The value of a share of a profitable company will never go to zero, the same way that gold has non-zero value (they are finite).

What will happen with that excess money? Option 1 (The capitalist) : Trust the companies that they will handle them properly by planning for a rainy week (apparently nobody does), or investing in their business. Option 2 (The socialist) : Tax heavily the earnings and redistribute them in democratically approved way.
As in: No, I'm not about to read your lengthy line-by-line literary critique of your stunning assertions that I'm making up every single rebuttal and that I seem to have imagined this entire conversation.

It's like poorly-executed gaslighting, as if you weren't aware that I can scroll up and see the post that I was replying to. I'm able to verify that, yes, it plainly states the thing that you have spent several bewildering pages insisting it did not state. If you missed it, I suggest you reread the above discussion, rather than me quoting the all of the above posts back at you, as it's become abundantly clear that doing so would be a waste of time.

But I will commend you on your dedication to being wholly disagreeable, while adeptly managing to disengage with any of the actual discussion.
Right. The key word here is "neglect". "Do not _neglect_ to meet together (as is the habit of some)".

There is a big difference between those who wish to come but are unable vs. those who are able but do not.

So yes, we should, but we are currently _unable_.
