A virus is not a replicator. It is information and a transport system. The machinery of a living cell is the replicator.

It seems pretty simple to me: viruses are not living. They are able to co-opt living systems into making more of themselves.

A virus may gain life while it is inside of a cell, but why is that any different than the organic molecules which gain life when assembled into a cell? We don't say carbon is alive.
France gave back half of the Swedish masks (coming from the Molnlyncke supply in Lyon) and they were first seized in France, because of a French requisition law... Will the US Government give back half the plane they stole from French people in China?
That sentence doesn't make sense to me.

A trademark can only be defended in the face of an incursion into a protected use. If it's an "other field", then it can't be defended and the suit fails.
Most Western countries could eliminate homelessness in one day if it was just about the beds in shelters. People opt for a straet instead of a shelter mainly because: it may not be safe there ( drugs, alcohol, aggressive behaviour) or they are on the other side of the spectrum, such as drug addicts, mentally ill and etc. Usually a holistic approach is needed.

Ask HN: How are you adjusting your spending habits with Covid-19?
I’m curious how everyone has adjusted their spending habits with COVID-19.

Do you realize some purchases you thought were important really aren’t?

Are common supplies or tools costing more with panic buying and you’re making trade offs at the stores?

From an earlier thread do you have to keep paying for services that you can’t use? Daycare? Massage/salon or similar subscriptions?
This wasn't about whether they "are" expensive, but about that they are "the most" expensive. If you think this is perfectly affordable, then cool: you can clearly afford every professional font on the market, use that power wisely.
I think you're reading stuff into my reply that I didn't intend. I didn't want to argue with you. I read your post as though you were asking a question, and I answered it.

I agree with you on that last bit. While it's important to have your compliance ducks in a row, a lot of shops seem to feel like "we've checked all the audit checkboxes so we're secure now!" No. All that stuff is nice, but having a documented process for deciding who gets root on your database servers is not the same as actually securing your database servers.
Historically, some of the big problems of running UDP-based services over the internet are related to source spoofing, used in reflection/amplification attacks etc (looking at you, DNS/NTP), which is possible as very few providers carry out source address validation on egress.

Looks like QUIC has a nice solution to this, making the impact of source spoofing similar to that of TCP, give or take a few CPU cycles: https://jacobianengineering.com/blog/2016/11/1543/

> I was having a discussion on living with integrity (having your actions align with your purported values), not economic damage / benefit.

I don't know you from anybody but I'm one hundred percent sure that you live with contradictions to your own values, no matter how carefully cultivated and adhered to.

I'm saying this to disparage you, because the same applies to me. In fact one of the hallmarks of humans is that they are inconsistent in their beliefs, morals values and so on.

If we were not inconsistent, then everything would be frozen in place and no change would be possible, so I see it as a good thing.

The plaintiff would have to show that they lost revenue as a result of the false statements, which I would think would be particularly difficult to do in that case, because portrayals made openly by a competitor are not as likely to harm the reputation of the company as are portrayals made by someone who does not obviously have anything to gain from the negative portrayal. But that's just a guess.

I haven't used Quill, but judging from the screenshots, the implementation looks nearly identical to Slack's.

Indeed, my comment is to point out that no large country seems to be handling this very well or transparently. There is a lot of face-saving going on by everyone as leaders scramble to preserve reputation in every place on Earth, to varying degrees.

Smaller countries seem to be doing less of it. I'm not sure if that's due to some inherent trait, or simply correlated with size. Large countries are all operating IMO shamefully, lying blatantly in predictable ways through the ascent phases. It seems to me inaccurate to pick out any single one.

Did you try LaTeX?
Great info (and scary), thank you. Is this based on assumptions that have a decent potential to not hold true, like e.g. lack of vaccines and adequate testing? Or does this assume those will happen in the next (say) ~year? And would you know if there are predictions on whether e.g. housing prices might fall?
i can answer that. russians are retarded (source: am russian). they see a new thing, and think anything written on the side is the name of it. Examples:
marker =flomaster. clearly flow master, name of the guys who made the first marker seen in russia.
hard drive =winchester. the model of the first hdd seen by russians.
and don't try to tell them black olives are olives. they're masleeny, translating to 'oily'. because the first green oluves russians saw were in water, and the black ones were in oil. so they're not olives.

not limited to russians. i hangul, pantyhose is 'pantysuitking'
Finding a use case for this would be tricky...

Quic already does this end to end.

The only use case I can think of might be gaming. If you had a HTTP/Websockets based game you wanted to cut latency down on you could have the FF proxy hosted near the game server.
> That is because people don't think about things objectively which they should be doing. But I am an objectivist so I suppose I am biased.

But whether or not they are thinking about things objectively has no basis on whether or not they are thinking objectively right now. Neither is whether or not you are an objectivist with your own bias (a feeling) relevant to the fact that someone has their own feelings that need to be understood during the analysis part of problem solving.

>It is consolidated in the firm through monopoly

Monopolies are not a stable state without an interventionist government to keep out new market entrants.

> is consolidated in finance which to a large extent plans the international economy

This is a senseless statement because “finance” itself is a market of people willing to invest in various instruments. The exchange rate between two floating currencies (i.e. the international economy) is dictated by the supply and demand of those currencies on the open forex market. This is pretty far from “consolidated”.

I had accepted in my heart for a while we live in a simulation. Then it all makes sense and it is outrageously funny.
We don't like to think about it explicitly, but human life has a market or dollar value. You can figure it out by how much we spend on things like safety measures and court settlements and judgments for deaths. As it turns out, it runs about $7 million per person in the United States.

That does make some sense. None of us picked the circumstances of our birth, but we have billions of people because of the economy, because we don't all grow our own food, because some people specialize in scientific research, etc. Now, we have billions of people that depend on a functioning economy, and if it doesn't function, people will die that way as well.
Ubuntu Kylin releases new beta update with 5 years of technical support

Where is this collapse you all talk about? Donald Pump and Powell will just use infinite QE and monetary policy to fix all of our problems. After all, the US Dollar is still strong due to a liquidity shortage world-wide from everyone being desperate to convert domestic money to USD

As someone who's been following tailscale's development, I'm curious to what you mean by core routing? Isn't routing P2P? Or, do you mean routing via DERP tunnels or TURN relays when P2P is a no-go? If so, what really are some key challenges here?
That's why I pay attention to the license when contributing to FOSS.

For MIT, BSD, Apache 2, it's quite easy for a company to hire a handful of active maintainers and starve the original project by redirecting their attention to a closed-source fork. http://hintjens.com/blog:27

GPL, and especially AGPL, are better in this regard.
Coffee tastes good and contains beneficial compounds like quercetin and phenylindane.
I'm fond of the Sensirion SCD30. Its low cost, low power, and easy to interface with. A lot of NDIR CO2 sensors pull 5V, so the sensirion's 3.3v power is nice. Digikey is currently out of them, but SparkFun has them in stock. Nice for hobbyists!

CO2meter.com is a good source for buying OEM CO2 sensors, although a little too coy with manufacturer's data sheets, in my opinion.

Virtually all NDIR CO2 sensors use some sort of automatic calibration, where the lowest reading in a certain period of time is assigned the value 450ppm. If that's accurate for your area and you can guarantee that the space the sensor is monitoring is unoccupied during that period of time, its not bad. Otherwise, a reference gas is the only way to really trust the readings.

Before frameworks I spent a lot of cycles learning (usually the hard way) how to organize jQuery/JS code so it wasn't a total mess. I like to think I finally got it fairly maintainable for reasonable sized code bases. But by that time existing frameworks made a lot more sense so that's a bunch of thinking I'll never get back. I would guess I'm not the only one in this situation either.

The solution isn’t AI. The solution does however require some intelligence to skim over the content and re-label it.

Humans are the engine here. And Slack is already starting to show some promise with things like threads, reminders and actions.

However to be truly beneficial, this has to be baked into the core of Slack’s being; it must support labelling of historical activity, it must treat threads differently, and reminders and actions need to be customisable based on your intended level of interaction with the underlying conversations.

Until Slack gets on top of that, shifting the UI around won’t help.
I don't see Unix tools as lean and mean, but as brittle and slow. It's never just a "one liner", you end up piping text data through dozens of programs with inconsistent unstructured interfaces.

In the US you generally have to pay your own fees, even if you successfully defend a suit. So I guess it makes sense for Humvee: they need a legal department for when there are real lawsuits. They have to pay them all the time, as they don't know when a real suit will hit them. So in the mean time, why not file frivolous bs like this? The margin cost is zero. If a real suit comes in, you just drop the bs one. And you might get an insane judge and actually win! And if you don't, at least it kept everyone busy for a year.

They partner with a company that has an existing device. They secure additional suppliers for each part of the device, to scale up. They pick an ideal factory to use, one that has existing clean room capabilities.

It will take months to fully ramp up, but not to churn out the first few thousand units. Ford + GE Healthcare think they can hit 50,000 units over 100 days. If Ford were working alone, it would take a lot longer, they would have a lot of wheels to reinvent.

The US, Europe and China may need to flood the world with ventilators over the coming year, depending on how things go. Hopefully the US ramps to a level of considerable surplus production, rather than letting up.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-fo...

"Ford Motor Co said on Monday it will produce 50,000 ventilators over the next 100 days at a plant in Michigan in cooperation with General Electric’s healthcare unit, and can then build 30,000 per month as needed to treat patients afflicted with the coronavirus. "

Undecidability means loading your configuration could never complete or could consume an indeterminate amount of resources. Which means it's a security concern as a bad config can DOS your system.

This type of attack exists even without Turing-complete config but just with references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs_attack

Yes, this is a strategy. For example BPF does not support loops.
I'm not sure about "just works", but I am sure about "works" in the sense that is head and shoulders above every other video chat app I've used when it comes to audio and video quality, especially for large numbers of participants, audio sharing, document camera sharing, multiple participants sharing simultaneously, and there are plenty more.

I've never used the web version, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's not the same experience. The video and audio encoding and decoding stuff seems like it just makes more sense as a native app. Given the number of variables that browsers, versions, sandboxing, etc. bring to the equation, I can tell you where I'd spend the majority of my efforts if I were doing video chat: on a great native app. You have a lot more control over that experience, IMHO.

Anyway, your comment reads to me like someone who will never install it, but I would encourage you to at least test out the difference to see why it's become so popular.
