That's true. While yes the WHO is following regulations, they're following regulations that were created to exclude the Republic of China from it in order to entice the PRC to join it. The PRC gave multinational organizations such as the WHO this condition for accepting the invitation to join, and multinationals greatly desired the membership of the PRC.

The WHO had the choice: accept the Chinese Communist Party's demand to exclude Taiwan, or be shunned by the PRC. The problem isn't necessarily with the WHO, it's with the CCP.
I guess you are not spoofing when you are using your assigned DIDs and not just making up any old number.
Gcloud run deploy: How does it work?
It doesn't make sense to compare the EU to a federation with more than double its land area, composed of 50 different states, which are quite different from each other in a large variety of salient ways.
Ah, right. I remembered incorrectly. My larger question stands though.
ANIs will still get "spoofed" as there are many legitimate use cases, but you have to "have permission" to use the number you're spoofing, meaning either you own the number or your underlying service provider owns it on your behalf.

The legitimate use case is basically: I am placing this outbound call over VOIP or a different phone line, but I want this ANI to show up on the callee's phone, so when they call back they go to the correct line (dentist's desk, software sales line, whatever)
More accurately, they're putting back dials for temperature control in one of the only cars the make that doesn't already use dials. They're not getting rid of touch screens, nor are they pushing against the industry: they're aligning temperature controls in one of their cars with their other cars and much of the rest of the industry.
Pool testing of SARS-CoV-02 samples increases test capacities many times over
I feel like 2.4 hours is too long to be a useful measurement though.

Consider: You're asleep for ~ 1/3 of the day (hopefully), so you'd only have 7 units of time for everything you do while awake. This means many more events would have end up with weird start times, (e.g. 9:68 rather than 9:00 am). Just about every movie would be less than a single hour long.
One of the paper's authors here.

GoTenna is definitely similar in its use-case and appearance.
The problem with GoTenna is similar to FireChat for offline communication: they are closed ecosystems, single purpose and cannot easily be changed to fit specific needs.
If you need something consumer-grade, ready to use: go for GoTenna (or Sonnet or maybe even a Garmin InReach or Spot X).

We propose different proof of concepts in the paper that are nowhere near the product quality of commercial solutions. Also, the chat application is single-hop and does not yet use a DTN underlay, at least not in the published version.

But all code is open and can easily be extended. Even better, the rf95modem firmware is designed to be used as-is. Once loaded on a LoRa board anyone can implement anything over device-to-device LoRa, be it a msg app, local news broadcast, IoT monitoring. This works via AT commands over USB serial interface, local esp32 WiFi or BLE.

> the team used a laser to carve 120-micron slivers of ice

I want to know more about this process. The kerf of a laser cutter tends to be around 1000 microns, so are they just throwing away 90% of their material or is their laser something special?
Modern unix gives you mostly low-level mechanisms, not inter-application protocols. It is better to leave it up to applications/administrators to figure out the best protocol (policy) for their use case, to make the best use of those mechanisms.

Those mechanisms aren't textual, they are byte-sequence based.

It turns out that many text-based protocols are more popular than binary/object alternatives. The penalty for textual redundancy is negligible/acceptable for many of them. Where not, Unix allows people to use unix/create new mechanisms to implement specialized protocols (rpc, protobuffers,...).
I'm not making a case for plastic being/creating a "problem". Plastic as a technology has allowed us to make cheap, single use products that are easy to replace and hard to repair. Like you are saying masks, gloves, etc.

In the broader sense, human thinking has shifted to this mode. We can't fix this start over, it reduces the pride of ownership and being accountable for your things. When you have no pride of your material possession, why would you develop pride for culture, institutions, countries. These are all things that we can just make to our pleasing.

I would argue that this might not be a global pandemic if it were not for global trade/consumerism.
I can't recommend the book Flour Water Salt Yeast enough.

It's written in a way that really appeals to my analytical mind, and it took me only a couple tries to wind up with really amazing bread.
That's highly dependent on the area, though. Near a 10+ million population city? Sure, it would get crowded. I have something like a 100 square miles of public lands right next to my house, and see another person there perhaps once a week. Such restrictions might make perfect sense near you, but not near the person you are responding to.
Could people just join via phone call? Is it possible to get the meeting specific phone number from the meeting ID?
What happens when this logic is applied elsewhere?

Lies for financial gain can become fraud. Is it acceptable to make it so lying for financial gain won't be a crime? What about lying for the sake of obtaining consent? Legal jurisdictions are starting to make this a crime, at least in limited instances (such as lying about use of certain birth control measures).

One can even look at social engineering, which is considered a form of hacking, that specializes in lying to people or presenting false narratives.

These all seem edge cases that still need to be handled.
> Because that's a breath-takingly racist assertion. And I did not say that. I suggest re-reading your post so that you understand that you wrote those words.

Let's reread the sentence in context:

> But is the perspective of a white or asian man pursuing a coding boot-camp to try and break into tech going to have the same opinion on policies that greatly reduce or eliminate his chances of getting an interview as compared to if he was a woman or URM? Many see getting called slurs as a small price to pay to get a chance to break into tech.

Say you have two people in a coding boot camp. One is a woman, the other a white or asian man. They get the same scores and are just as capable. At my current and previous employers, only the former would get a chance to interview.

If the latter looked at this situation, and concluded that they would have better career opportunities if they were a woman - even if it meant additional discrimination in other forms, like being subject to slurs - then they're "breath-takingly racist"?

I'm also confused as to why you're calling me racist for pointing out the fact that many white and asian men feel like the tech industry's treatment towards them on the basis of race and gender is a net negative. Again, these are the opinions of people other than myself. The fact that you're exclusively quoted this sentence without the preceding one suggests that you either forgot this fact, or are deliberately attempting to conceal it.

> I'm referring to tech hiring in the private sector.

Good thing I cited a source studying hiring the private sector as well.
Opposite experience here. Services like Dark Sky and Wunderground are so inaccurate up here in Alaska that it's dangerous. NWS is also often pretty wrong but way less wrong than anything else. Interesting to hear your
The climate impact of individuals living in the city vs those living in the suburbs is considerable. More people living away from the city increases deforestation and is a net negative as far as lifestyle is concerned. Telecommuting is a nice option but most businesses don't work that way. I work in the commercial arts world. A lot of it is sensory stimuli and requires paying butts in seats. I can't dropship an experience through Amazon working from bungalow in Chiang Mai.

I'm struggling with the decision of whether to automatically block anyone not in my contact list and leave a message in my voicemail explaining why. Don't want to be unfriendly, but it's only getting more ridiculous.
It certainly doesn't seem like either of those examples further your point. Both GitHub and Skype still exist as essentially the same core product they were at the time of acquisition, plus lots of new features which are clearly the results of substantial investment in the product by Microsoft.
FWIW, in the summer time you can usually get great tomatoes at farmers markets and produce stands. Though I haven't grown my own yet, so I can't compare.
Coffee grounds are good. Either compost or dig in directly.

Many people get confused about pH. Coffee grounds are acidic. But it will have negligable effect on soil pH. Something about buffering capacity (I'm sure I'll be corrected by someone). Same thing with pine needles. They are acidic but will not change soil pH.

They won't make much difference right away, but adding organic matter improves the soil over time.

I believe the HN-friendly term for that is "geo-caching."
As a user, I would not assume that checking compatibility means I'm executing arbitrary code. I mean it could just be macOS examining the binary to make sure it's compatible with my ISA, or checking some app metadata about recommended free resources like ram/disk space.
Point of fact; A touch interface digitizer and the LCD screen are two separate components just often glued and sold as a single unit. Replacing a digitizer, or a screen should be no more difficult than swapping out an analog component with a proper modular physical layout and connectors.

It's not necessarily either. It may very well simply be the preponderance of the evidence. Nevertheless, such a suit will be undertaken with the benefit of the discovery process.

Updating docs or dependencies is part of maintaining a project. If no new features are needed the author doesn't need to do more. As a user it still shows me the maintainer is alive, uses a computer and does open source work. I have 5+ such projects. For some I wouldn't even update the dependencies but I get automated messages about security issues with dependencies so of course I'm interested it fixing that.

> many great projects have their last commit a year ago for example but everyone knows it's maintained

How does everyone know?
I agree, that are unintended positive consequences.

I worry more about the economic impact this will have in the long run. Hopefully, it's a hiccup.
good, can't count how many times I've had to mash a touch-screen (not in Honda, so may be different) to get something to "click."

You answered some of my questions in some other HN posts. I remember you.

Thanks for the replies.

Btw I am curious of this one thing. Say a FAANG has X years of experience in a FAANG company and then quit. When he/she reapplies to the company, is there any sort of stuff that makes he/she preferred over other candidates? Why I'm asking this question is this. I imagine that a FAANG engineer who has more than X years of experience, say x = 10, he/she must have better things to do rather than just memorizing 1000 Leetcode problems. Therefore if being judged strictly by using Leetcode style questions, I imagine he/she would not do well.
It must be so hard being the biggest online retailer in the West when literally every brick and mortar shuts in one go. These things are minor, everyone is still ordering from amazon by default. Coronavirus is more like a wet dream for Bezos than a challenge.

Recent versions of Android have an option to automatically screen callers who are not in your contact list. The caller gets a robot asking them why they're calling, and you can view the transcript of their response in real time and decide whether or not to answer.
this is part of my point. sick leave isn't equivalent to PTO.
Bezos asking for donations for a fund to help his workers was the final straw for me. The gap between his wealth, and the way they treat workers, is obscene.

Late but wanted to chime in.

Although not possible right now, the best way to test chairs is to go to a Design Within Reach (a Herman Miller subsidiary). They employ chair specialists in the showroom who can work with you to find the best chair. People vary a lot and things like seat-pan sizes are not universal. Finding the right chair with the right options takes time.

I went in thinking I would get the Sayl and left with a Mirra 2 due its customizability which enabled full back support and a better seat-pan.

You can spend a whole day their testing the full offering. For instance, the Aeron comes in 3 sizes and without going and testing them you might not know which is best for you!
Store bought carrots are almost tasteless. We grew carrots for the first time last year and I was amazed by how much flavor they packed.
I would never advise anyone to do that yet with a substantial amount of their wealth, but: take a look at MakerDAO's DAI. It is a stable crypto token that uses a basket of ethereum-based tokens to keep its value locked to the US Dollar.

It also provides a system where DAI holders can lock their assets and receive 2%/year. So, if your concern is just to get a positive savings rate, you could take a look at it.

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly in anything so why would anti-trust regulations apply?
It looks like the number of visits to Amazon the 2nd week of March increased the same % as it did the 3rd week of Feb (year to year). why would this be true if the pandemic only became more urgent in Mid March?
Seems simple enough: To turn on any analytics users should be redirected from the app to the webpage. Anyone that doesn't go there and turn it on should have it off no matter what the app developer does. But I'm guessing you don't really want to make it a user choice.
It's a living culture of bacteria and yeast, it grows exponentially when given enough food. So long as you've got flour and water you can make as much as you want.
I have my doubts. Napthalene is quite volatile and carcinogenic. Urea is readily degradable by bacteries. No idea about these polycarboxylates.

It’s really easy to stop labor action without at least very strong solidarity-sentiments and community, if not legal protection. Otherwise all you do is start firing a person or two a day and let everyone else know their name is in the hat for tomorrow unless they get back to work.
It's the difference in growing techniques and your estimates translating into the real world.

Your estimates are based on what, grain production? That grain production equals meat and other things, not just produce. That estimate is also based on traditional row-cropping, is my guess.

Also, at the heart of it, your impression is incorrect. I didn't say the raised beds provided 50% of the family's calories, but 50% of our vegetable and other fresh produce needs. This does not include meat, most proteins in general, or fruits.

Finally, it is an assumption comparing traditional row cropping to square foot gardening in the raised beds. You get much more produce in a smaller space in square foot versus row crops, but it is much more labor intensive. You cannot use machinery in square foot gardens, compared to row crops. So there is a trade off.

In other words, the math doesn't work with your assumptions, because they're two different things. My estimate is that, while the garden produces 50% of our vegetable and produce needs, it's probably 10-20% of our overall caloric consumption. But that's a madey upey number, really. I have no idea.

With visa-free travel, common regulations, etc., the European Union is certainly starting to approach the United States (notice the plural in "States"?) in developing a similar federal structure.

Glad to hear it.

Of course not, but companies need to be smart about it. Make sure the same people work the same shifts together, that way if one of the employees in a shift tests positive, you can isolate and test the others in the shift while continuing work in the meantime.

And of course, for things like grocery stores, focus heavily on pickup versus having customers come into the store.
Not sure. The article 25 is "General framework for the temporary reintroduction of border control at internal borders"

I cannot find where it says border can be closed. It says "border control" can be reintroduced.

There is a reference to 'public health' in Article 8 however:

> However, on a non-systematic basis, when carrying out minimum checks on persons enjoying the right of free movement under Union law, border guards may consult national and European databases in order to ensure that such persons do not represent a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to the internal security, public policy, international relations of the Member States or a threat to the public health.

> The consequences of such consultations shall not jeopardise the right of entry of persons enjoying the right of free movement under Union law into the territory of the Member State concerned as laid down in Directive 2004/38/EC.

But this says to consult "databases" not apply blanket ban. I am sure there is a law somewhere and our democratically elected EU governments fully follow it (except, maybe Hungary), but just wanted to double check...

Sounds like a good first step to solve the problem of how the legacy telecoms systems were designed in a world of trusted peers federating. End result of course being spoofed caller ID spam.

Unless I'm missing something though, these measures don't do anything to address the gaping security hole in mobile networks around roaming interconnects. That seems to still be a pretty good way to do SMS and call interception, which are increasingly valuable as phones become the de-facto 2FA channel for access to banking, cryptocurrency services and more.
While it may be that the uptick is caused by the lockdown straining relationships, it may also be a case that the lockdown artificially depressed demand and then easing of the lockdown enabled people, who would have otherwise filed earlier, to all file at the same time

Some of these starters have interesting names. A bread maker gave me one called "California gold rush". He also had another, rather grimly named, "Black death". It's from those times.

However, I don't think the yeast will remain that old as we feed it with flour which has it's own yeast culture so eventually everything gets mixed up.

Seems like the scammers may already be using smaller service providers which means you have at least two more years of not answering your phone. I like voicemail, if its important they'll leave a message.
Why it took so long to get all the participants in a federated network to adopt a new protocol?

If that were easy we would have solved email spam too, 20 years ago.
Flour is difficult to buy in some areas. It seems that lots of people have suddenly started making bread. I wonder how long they will keep doing it.
What's interesting is how few online stores have the ability to show only things that are in stock. We never thought this would be a useful feature.

> A large economic downturn means a lot of small, independent companies will struggle to survive. Being swallowed by a megacorp might be one of the few ways to keep something alive.

This occurred to me as well, almost as soon as the economic impacts of COVID-19 was apparent. And in particular that this will strenghen the power of large coporations that can weather the storm, at the expense of smaller companies, and competition.
I think some places think "we're just as good as FAANG so we should have the same bar."
