That's incorrect. PIF's stake was as of 3/26 while CCL did the equity deal on 4/1. I don't know if they participated in that equity deal but they would have to disclose if they increased ownership. The equity deal was only $500mm vs $5.75bn in converts and 1st lien bonds. Non-insiders did not know PIF invested in the company when they raised this recent $ so it's not like that was some sort of anchor. Also, given their recent investments, PIF owning a significant stake in anything should make you run the other way.

I spent the weekend in the Emergency Dept of a major NYC hospital. In the past 3 weeks I've probably looked at ~250 Chest X-rays of COVID-19+ or likely patients. (Not getting many CT scans currently).

You really don't need AI to figure this out. In about 5 minutes, I could show any reasonably smart non-medical person what to look for and they'd do just as well as me (not a radiologist). They all have it and it all looks similar.

What would be more interesting is if they attach outcomes data to this. From my anecdotal review of these patients over very limited follow up time periods, x-ray findings didn't seem to correlate with outcomes (death, intubation, etc) or even the need for supplemental oxygen support. That wouldn't be hype, that would be actionable and that would help us on the front-lines

Show HN: DCPM – Docker Compose Package Manager
Hey y'all,

I've been using docker compose a lot in my local network, and managing setup between machines is a bit of a pain in the ass for me. I wanted an easy way to share complex configurations. At the moment most docker compose package management is done by adding a docker-compose.yml to your repo, adding a bunch of setup instructions, and hoping they are well followed. This didn't feel like a smart way to go about it to me.

I wanted to create a way to create a complex package, say a series of related or linked services, and provide some meaningful way to have users install it. That's why I built DCPM. It provides a few things for you:

1. A nice CLI to interact with
2. A place to store these files and configuration
3. A way to setup new projects that's not just reading a readme

To achieve these goals I built the @dcpm/cli and blobs.dcpm.dev. The cli allows you to upload and download blobs, and the back end allows you to have a persistent storage to use. I've also built a really simple front end for searching packages.

This is a very early alpha. There is a lot left to improve, but I feel enough of the core concepts are here to get some early feedback and improve the tool. Any and all feedback are super welcome. Here are some links for you:

Docs: https://docs.dcpm.dev

Search: https://app.dcpm.dev

CLI: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dcpm/cli

GitHub: https://github.com/hweeks/dcpm

fyi: there's a nonzero chance that the DB will be wiped once we exit alpha and enter beta

It seems IE11 has become the new Python 2.7. I can only hope one day MS decides to pull the plug entirely, it can't run any new JS features and is clinging onto life.

Eventually, the web will just break (for example, http/3), and IE will be forced to retire.

We just need the "right" pieces to break before it can retire in peace.
I really hope WeWork wins this one. The world of "investing" needs to chill a little and see a few outrageously exuberant bulls absolutely destroyed before we go from a big bubble to a massive bubble, and then to a massive crash.

But then again Masa was already possibly the worst investor in the history of humanity, even before the Vision Fund, so who will take note this time? If he lives through the next 20 years he'll probably run yet another, equally idiotic fund.
I believe the 50B is for keeping everyone employed. That is what is fantasy. Most people ought to be laid off in these times. That is what unemployment insurance is for.

Of course, that's not politically popular, which is why the government is becoming involved.

Quoting from Matt Levine:

> That is a good little window into mergers-and-acquisitions lawyering. SoftBank’s agreement with WeWork isn’t public, but presumably it says something like “SoftBank can cancel the tender if there are any material government restrictions on WeWork’s business,” but it doesn’t say something like “SoftBank can cancel the tender if lots of customers cancel their WeWork memberships.” The very rough general rule in mergers and acquisitions is that if business conditions get worse, that’s the acquirer’s risk, but if there is some legal problem with the business then that’s the seller’s risk.

Have you tried moving from on-premise docker-compose to managed kubernetes in the cloud?

If you've been diligent in striving for stateless containers that will help you - but pretty much everything thing else in your compose file is useless.

Docker-compose gets you the "pod"-level in k8s, but doesn't really help with ingress/services etc. So no one can reach your app, certainly not via a load balancer that terminate ssl for you.

This is no longer a game of "beating the nginx container until it gives up and does what you need it to".

A big chunk of their intensifying crisis will be the drying up of whatever income they still had. Short term rentals are great for the renters: easy to say "stop now", and that's exactly what this COVID-19 crisis has done for many companies. If they were using WeWork before they are now using it less or not at all.
Yup, sorry if my phrasing implied it's a bug. It's just better defaults, and there's evidence to support the idea slack was just running the software with the old defaults.
Dialog-based development could be a compelling future. Projects like Storyscript (see demo here https://twitter.com/storyscripthq - it gets crazier) and Iris (for data science) are conversations with computers; changing the interface interaction to more "human" than anything else out there. Think Alexa, but for business QA, RPA and workflow/automation development.

Except a significant (and growing) number of people aren't. There's a huge 'anti-science' (or 'anti-elite' if you move in those circles) movement in this country. Without getting into politics, the proof is in the pudding: just the other day, we had the governor of one of our biggest states saying he 'didn't know the coronavirus could be transmitted before people showed symptoms' even though that fact has been readily available to everyone for weeks if not months. When would rather believe politicians than experts, giving those politicians an unchecked way to propagate their message will only kill people.

Maybe for some CSS sure, but there's so much has happened in the realm of web APIs and JavaScript that certain things are nearly impossible.
Perhaps, but the ability for the population at large to think critically also has great value. If you dumb down the populace even more by spoonfeeding them acceptable information, then they become even more susceptible to bad reasoning. It is like having a child grow up in a completely disease free environment. They'll remain healthy, but in a very fragile way.

Plus, there's always the problem of who watches the watchers.
Nice suggestion. Will definitely try to refactor. Thanks!

In most of the cases, timestamps should be with the data itself (assuming its a dynamic graph). If timestamps are to be chosen, one can select in a way seeing how many edges usually come in one time tick (second/minute etc.)

Timestamps don't affect any parameters other than alpha (temporal decay factor). You may want to check out how to decay the contribution of the past edges in the anomalousness of the current edge. If there is lot of granularity in the timestamps, a smaller alpha should be chosen. Hope it helps.
Ask HN: Looking for advice, our pre-pivot model is getting traction, mid-pivot
We launched our service Fast.io around November 2019. It's simple to use CDN that pairs with your Cloud Storage. Initially, I thought the use case would be asset hosting, videos, images, app assets, PDFs. As we developed the product, my co-founder (a designer) started using it for building websites and found `syncing` changes from his laptop to a CDN to be exhilarating. It differed from Netlify in that it was a CDN down model, i.e. content is made available and cached on-demand from the CDN, where-as Netlify is a build-up model. We thought this would appeal to designers and developers.

Just before launching, we went to a JAMStack conference and realized the future of the frontend was technologies that were built and compiled on the backend. This was not what we designed our platform to do, and while we considered making a build system, there was no compelling reason why, and no problem to solve; Netlify is a sound system. We aren't sure that people hosting small websites will ever convert to subscribers either (we aren’t a website builder).

Since then, We see a high number of signups, but for web hosting, despite the fact that we removed all website branding/marketing. The question we are dealing with is: do we want to shut down these use cases forcibly. They cost money in resources, but more importantly, in time; time in customer support; time in bug fixes; time in scaling use cases which I'm not sure will ever develop real value.

We do believe in our pivot, and we’ve seen some good indicators, but sometimes a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. We haven’t been adding any new web features, but we haven’t removed any features either.

We know the conventional wisdom is to hard pivot and direct all resources towards your winning vision. In our case, our pivot uses the same technology bed and just builds on it, extends it, and doesn’t necessarily exclude these users. Maybe its a bit intoxicating to have real users too.

OK, that's fine for "within pure paths". But even in FP, you have to take the lock somewhere, right? And now it's not pure, right? And now you have to pay attention to lock order, right?

If your ORM doesn't give you transactions, then you don't have transactions. But FP needs some kind of layer to talk to a database, too, doesn't it? And if that layer doesn't give you transactions, you're in the same place, aren't you?

Am I missing something? Or are you missing my point?

This goes both ways. Userland systems are susceptible to a myriad of attacks that a kernel, being privileged code, is not. We rely on the kernel (plus CPU rings) for most of the security enforcement in a machine, after all.

However, IF that code is compromised, the consequences are much more catastrophic.
I think solving this problem is a great idea and is something I've thought of building a product around myself. I just haven't acted on it and haven't gotten clear on what such a problem/solution would look like. Congrats on launching!

I'm no legal expert but I would suspect there could be a point of friction with legal teams inside companies. Things like liability for hiring practices, IP leakage, and security. Not to dissuade you but just some thoughts about possible challenges that might work against the goal of transparency.

Ask HN: How do you handle feedback on your code reviews and stay motivated?
I often see posts about how to be nicer on your code reviews which is great to see. But I have noticed I can take some of the feedback I get from code reviews a bit too personally. Rarely do I think the feedback I get is malicious in nature, but it is often blunt like many developers including myself can be. I also realize my code is not perfect by any means even as a more senior dev that just hasn't had to work in this sort of a more structured environment until now.

I am aware this is something I need to deal with more on my end as I may have my own... perhaps depressive issues or imposter syndrome-y things going... I was just curious how others handle it.

(Yes, I know just get over it is probably the goto advice, which is what I try to do atm, but any other constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated!!)

“ Based on IRI panel data, along with the US Census, the average U.S. household (2.6 people) uses 409 equivalized regular rolls per year. Using our own calculations, staying at home 24-7 would result in 40% increase vs. average daily usage. Therefore, to last approximately 2 weeks, a 2-person household would need 9 double rolls, or 5 mega rolls. A 4-person household would need 17 double rolls, or 9 mega rolls to last approximately 2 weeks.”

Hey! I like the general idea, just a small bit of feedback..

The comments are going to seem fake if they come from current employees. Something like glassdoor might be better suited for that.

No employee (or founder) is going to post bad things about their own company of course. This website gives you a view of what the founders might _think_ their company culture is like, but not what it's actually like.
