Also "The Quite Earth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9KQrOx5cz8, Logan's Run, Silent Running - that's what it feels like out in the streets at the moment!
So apparently police there would make you take off your mask if you are wearing one!
You talk about children as if you don't have any.
It depends what you're doing. My experience is that it mostly works but is pretty useless for doing design collaboration where you need a whiteboard, or brainstorming sessions with more than three people.

> Ragel compiles executable finite state machines from regular languages. Ragel targets C, C++ and ASM. Ragel state machines can not only recognize byte sequences as regular expression machines do, but can also execute code at arbitrary points in the recognition of a regular language. Code embedding is done using inline operators that do not disrupt the regular language syntax.

Global would allude to influencers and belly to food. So food influencers.

I'm not saying there isn't a better name out there - naming things is hard - and finding a .com for whatever name you come up with makes it that much harder.

I don't think their business customers are finding them with SEO - likely direct sales over Instagram and email. Their consumer customers are getting sold to directly by the Influencers so again the SEO and naming is not all that important.

Most university libraries keep a copy or two of every textbook on hand, but don't actually allow you to check them out. Students pull it off the shelf long enough to photocopy the pages they need, then put it back.

Often groups of students get together and take turns making multiple sets of copies for the whole group.

A few times I actually had professors that were nice enough to make copies for the students ahead of time.

One professor even went to the trouble of having a local print shop print and bind the copies in paperback. We had to pay something like $10 to cover the costs.

Is any or all of that copyright infringement? Is there an exception for universities? Is this just a case of the law being so disconnected from reality that people don't even know they are breaking it?

Honestly that's OK, if it doesn't break my current build arbitrarily then maybe later I'll upgrade.
No one in the real world (outside of the hn bubble) actually cares about privacy, and only enterprise cares about security.

> need to respect the users longer term as opposed to selling them like commodity to investors and advertisers?

This is the opposite of the truth? There is no /market/ need to respect users, the intention is to sell them to advertisers/etc. Your comment is just conflating your personal (And hn's) moral views of privacy with how markets actually work in the real world.

Edit - I don't mean to be a dick, but you can't just push your morals on the world and say thats how the world should work.
The book in fact addresses that point. The author was a DV counselor in court-ordered programs. The vast majority of the people he saw were straight men, so he wrote what he knew. He's not erasing anything.
Huh that doesn't seem true at all. Even if you lower the amount of children 20 times then there still would be hundreds of thousands of them in the US. This doesn't seem like a problem at all. Actually it would be a blessing since those children could receive way better education compared to now.
The regulations are not "weird". Before telcos were required to route all calls without discrimination, they didn't. And as soon as telcos are no longer required to route their competitors' calls, they stop. A recent example is the new area code for VOIP calls introduced in Germany in 2009. Major telcos just didn't route them, citing "technical reasons" despite being able to route local area numbers with the same mechanism without problem.

Competition is only a solution for problems where the telcos' interest and the consumers' interest align. And that's very rare.
> zoom may or may not be a witch (im no China apologist

Zoom is an American company, headquartered in the US, employing mostly Americans, subject to US law, etc. Its CEO is an immigrant, but that's true of half the American tech companies out there, including Google and Microsoft.

EDIT: I'm white, but my wife is Asian-American and has told me more than once how white people often treat Asian-Americans as if they're not real Americans. I'd never witnessed that myself, but I guess the above comment is the kind of sentiment she's talking about. Zoom may or may not be a scummy company, but its founder's birthplace is immaterial. He's a US citizen, and deserves the same treatment we give to maybe-scummy white American CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg.

Interesting, those variables have been attempted to be accounted in the paper. They have variables specified for that in their model.

In my experience, state machines are very nice in theory, but in practice, over time, they devolve into a mess of spaghetti code.

Because they are not in a single scope, loops become the equivalent of a bunch of gotos and managing lifetimes and locks becomes a problem because you can't use scope based mechanisms such as RAII.

In Rust, if you want a state machine, generators are probably the long term way to go.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/unstable-book/language-fea...

By using generators, the compiler will generate the state machine for you based on your code, and you can use structured loops and scope based cleanup.
Ease of use that came from bending platform rules.
Yup I was just thinking "where could you easily wander into NLS content" and my first thought was Reddit.
I'm providing free feedback from a current non-customer. They can use what they want with it.
This is triggered by secure input causing issues with the hotkey code. We're aware of the issue and should have a hotfix out soon.
Mexico is definitively not a communist or socialist country. Although it might be a little to the "left" of the US, it would be considered a capitalistic country in most of Europe.

I don't think it's the case. X just works for me.
Had to configure it once, after that I experienced no friction using or updating it.
The GP suggested it would also be hashed by the server - presumably because you can't trust client input.
I grow shallots and garlic as well. Very easy to grow and both kind of pricey in the store.
More than a few intrusive overlays covering an article largely about politics, a paragraph about NeuroNet, followed by talk of climate change.

I seem to have skimmed past the part about life after death?
Ok, is it binary? The country has to control all markets or none at all?
Exemple, In my region, the government controls healthcare and alcohol stores (both essential services now!), among other things, but otherwise the markets are free. Does that make us a socialist country?
Heh, yea.. my wife informed me of the movie after I had already bought a domain name and posted the first version online. Hopefully a time-tracking app is different enough from time-travel crime to not cause issues!
A group of people stressed by the lack of basics are more likely to make a mistake in choosing strong leadership.
When I see much hate on a company, I know it's getting successful
It's more like they gained better ease of use by bending platform rules, to the detriment of security.
If you have good process in place, developers and operations people benefit in many ways.

In my personal experience, it's a mixed bag. Ad hoc events outside of normal process are more difficult. Building a new process is harder as the tools aren't as good as in-person. The bigger the team or more teams the higher the friction.

That said, the tools we have today are exponentially better than they were 20 years ago.

Show HN: Covid-19 Projections, Simple Logistic and Exponential Models
Hello, HN!

There have been a lot of COVID-19 from various sites, but a common complaint is that simple things like log-scaling population counts are are infrequently done.

So I decided to do it:

https://covid19.fernandes.org/

I've aggregated the JHU (per Country) and NYT (select US states) data and plotted them under two models: simple exponential growth and simple logistic growth. The plots are updated as the JHU and NYT data is updated (thanks, GitHub actions!).

A big challenge has been the writeup because the exponential model implies horrific things, but the logistic model seems... well, perhaps overly optimistic, probably due to the lack of solid testing data. So it's really difficult for the layperson (and even many experts!) to interpret.

Anyway, comments and constructive critique are welcome, especially suggestions on how and what to say on the "copy" to help "ordinary people" understand and interpret the plots.
Ha! I would agree that you might be taking it a bit too seriously. I was trying to make the point that sometimes things that might seem purposeless are useful simply because they are fun, scratch an itch, and might lead to a new way of looking at something. That exploratory process might be worth it in certain projects even if it introduces more bugs accidentally. I should have elaborated more rather than just leaving a quote. After all, quotation in absence of analysis contributes very little novelty.
My wife works with 14 H2As who serve only one property for 9 months a year in about the best possible situation and it is definitely true that they live in bunk houses, but for better or worse you find this everywhere in the world, even singapore[1]. In 10 years of working in the ag industry though, every place she has worked they have always been documented, whether FLC or H2A. The majority I've worked with while helping out during harvest are looking for some order and steady pay to send home while avoiding cartel chaos in Michiocan; they are all upstanding individuals, some who even had professional jobs back home, for example one is a dentist.

It is very uncommon in our experience to find undocumented workers in these regulated environments, though you will still find plenty at the even city sponsored "day laborer" centers, or working for the crews that end up selling their fruit on street corners in cities. From what we have hears, 20-30 years ago there was a much larger truly undocumented immigrant issue.

Streaming and selective parsing are good things, and something we're looking into for the next set of features.

Note that there are real speed gains to be had by not being selective. The CPU is normally sprinting ahead, executing future instructions before you even get to them, and every branch can make it trip and land flat on its face.

We've found we have to be very careful with every branch we introduce. I've tried to introduce branches that skip tons of code and ought to make things a ton faster, but which instead slow it down.
I'm not currently looking, but just generally curious. How does working for USDS compare to working for Google? Even though it's the tech side of government, I have to imagine the cultures are completely different.
Nope! It's by forgetfulness. There's no reason to not have that and would definitely make sense, I'll try to add that shortly.

Thanks for the feedback!
Well, there is a notion that there is a Darwinian evolution of the Cosmos (https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0205119.pdf), and one might argue that we can't be sure about the future of the universe (especially adding the unknowns regarding multiverse and that whole line of thought) and what future technology might bring, regarding even, let's be optimistic, potential changes to the fabric of timespace itself. Given the non-zero chance of a technological singularity happening even in our lifespan.
It would seem to me that if you are sick or your health is suffering, several things can result:
1) you dont have the time or energy to consider what the (authoritarian) leader is doing as carefully (cognitive)
2) you may just be too tired/sick to do anything about it (physical)
Just went and confirmed, in Skype for Business it does not launch the executable but rather opens explorer to the share and highlights the .EXE. So, anyone operating that share will still be passed your creds, but it doesn't launch the executable.

Testing in zoom, it launches the OS prompt to confirm .exe launch. Tested in Windows 10.
I feel Palantir is not widely known.
Personally, and I'd hope this is echoed by everyone:

I'd rather have less strawberries, that are more expensive, than have strawberries picked by someone who died as a result of contracting COVID-19 in a field whilst they were picking strawberries to earn money to feed themselves/their family.
"based on their moral judgement" this sounds like a subjective standard of morality based purely on personal judgement/feelings/what feels right to me. So what happens when the child opts to do something they feel is moral based on their subjective standard even when others have termed it immoral? How do you reconcile that?
Hinge Health | Security Analyst | San Francisco, CA or Portland, OR | REMOTE (only during COVID-19 pandemic, FT remote possible) | https://www.hingehealth.com/careers

As a healthcare company providing pain relief and alternatives to surgical treatment for those with chronic musculoskeletal (joint) pain, we play a critical role during the pandemic to help people stay healthy, safe, and calm. We do this by delivering a mobile app, motion sensors, and a remote health coach with zero direct human interaction.

With physical therapy offices closing around the United States, we are quickly becoming one of very few options people have available for managing their chronic pain. Our interventions have been proven to keep people away from hospitals for surgery, and during these times that can be a life-saving intervention.

The whole organization is preparing to go to war with SARS-CoV-2 by doing whatever it takes to continue supporting those who are still healthy enough to exercise. Given that there are criminals already taking advantage of the pandemic, the job of securing our organization is more important than ever.

Our security analysts are instrumental in helping ensure we do right by our legal and contractual obligations, as well as protecting the actual security of our patients' data. If the two are ever at odds with each other, securing the data always takes priority without question. Security analysts also help us maintain our advanced secure-by-default and secure-by-design posture by providing expert guidance as we expand in IT and R&D.

We're looking for someone with serious technical chops, a sharp eye that never misses a single detail, excellent writing skills, and the kind of tenaciousness that means no resting on an incident until a true root cause is found.

> It's wishful thinking that a few weeks are going to change anything

When we have mass testing in a few weeks, things will be better. This isn't about "panacea", its about buying time so that our statistics can become more effective.

We all know that our testing regime is buckling under the current load. No one trusts the numbers, aside from being a clear and gross underestimation of the overall COVID19 problem.

At a minimum, in a few weeks when mass testing is available, we'll have better COVID19 numbers to make decisions off of.

---------

We're clearly in a situation where there is more infected people than test kits! Doctors / hospitals are rationing the very few test kits they got and only testing people who they think already are infected AND are at high risk. Under these circumstances, our statistics and decision making framework is almost entirely guesswork.

Yes, a few weeks will buy us important time. Important time where we can actually gather proper data (through proper testing).

The most immediate goal for policy makers is to slow down the disease to the point where our statistics / data-gathering can catch up to reality. That way we stop relying upon guesswork.
I was going to ask why your app is 50+mb. I guess it's all the flutter related bundles that add to the weight... Not criticising - just curious!

Loopback?
https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/
What definition of "real-time" are you using here? I presume you're not using the RTOS[] definition, so I'm just curious what workload you would consider "heavyweight" and what kind of real time guarantees that means the ideal system would have.

[] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system
I know a guy who owns an entirely remote work company. He definitely pointed out that personality is key. One of the things they do is ask if people have good friends networks outside of work. They found people who didn't have the ability to have a social life without work did not do well or last long.
