This just seems like a justification of what the art gallery does for the art industry as it exists _now_, perhaps this isn't the best model anyway? I can totally see myself buying a painting from this site if it resonates with me, Im not particularly worried about how the single piece I buy forms a story with other pieces that I'm not going to buy, all I care is what it says in my room. In that regard the single biggest impediment is that I can see myself buying art I want in my home without ever seeing it in person!

Also nothing here says that I represent a viable customer segment either so there's that.
There is a difficult follow up to this. When the dust settles months from now and some 40% of the country becomes convinced none of these problems ever happened, how shall we prevent this or other fiascos next time?
It seems to me that the whole article describes to me an alternative way to find a vaccine . Maybe someone can enlighten me: aren't there vaccines that are simply rather harmless mutations/relatives of the virus but trigger the same immune reaction?
What is viral load, and doesn't it eventually become the same for everyone infected after some time during which the virus multiplies?
While Signal would prefer that most people with Play store use Play store, downloaded APKs are not entirely unendorsed. Firstly, Signal continues to offer an APK for download. Secondly, if you install Signal from the downloaded APK, then Signal acts as its own app store in order to prompt the user to install updates when available.
It's a relevant comment. The author chose a title with heavy ties to politics. They shouldn't then be surprised when people bring that up in discussion. I personally also think it's not wise to choose a title that enforces a slogan with ties to hateful politics unless that was your goal from the start.
How does the seller selling the kebabs in riyal get the chicken given they only earn riyal?

You need somebody who wants riyal for dollars. Why would the chicken seller not take the riyal since that helps his customers and do the FX magic themselves? "Local currency sales" is what marketing men recommend. It's just the latest form of vendor financing.

Who wants riyal for dollars. People who buy kebabs in Saudi. Those who live and work there.

As I said the dollars are useless in Saudi, because that's not the local currency stuff you need day to day is priced in.

The point again is that in aggregate you can buy things in the currency you have and you can sell things for the currency you want. The financial system smooths the path to that deal - for a price.

Sort of a weird ask, but as a real, no shit, virologist, what do you think about changing your messaging to make content more accessible to lazy readers?

I have some half baked ideas about tradeoffs in infection rate and fatality, but I'm worse than a layman, I'm a layman with an opinion.

I'd sorta thought a virus could be real lethal(like ebola) ore real infectious(like a cold) but it's kinda hard to be both at the same time.

it _seems_ like there's a mapping between getting read (infection rate) and convincing people (fatality).

to be super explicit, is messaging a virus? is there a tradeoff in how the message spreads vs how convincing it is?

You've probably got other things to do, but it seems like there's a parallel there, even if imperfect, that's worth looking at. If you got a minute, I'd love to read your thoughts.

Until I figured this out, I just left my LinkenIn account bare, with very few connections:

- LinkedIn is where new jobs are announced. You may have noticed in finance that there's a layer of recruitment consultants who have placed themselves between the banks/funds/fintechs and the potential employess. Quite often one of them will post a list of jobs they are working to place someone in. Quite often these job listings also include salaries and perks. And the big plus is that the experience is interactive. You simply ping them about the job and they chat with you. If it's not for you, not much time is wasted.

- Recruitment guys are not picky about who they link with. I've turned my news feed into a continuous stream of jobs from various people. Now and again, I'll ping one of them and find out who the employer is and what exactly they want. It tells me what's going on in the industry.

- If you pepper your LinkedIn CV with tech keywords, you will get a load of people contacting you with potential jobs. Most are not quite what you want, but how many jobs does one person need? I've gotten really good offers as well, just by sitting there and doing nothing.

- People who want to sell you stuff are there too. I'm a hiring manager, so I get a lot of "hey I've got this guy, do you want him?" messages. Or "We are looking to partner with someone with xyz skills". You can quite quickly decide if there's any interest.

So that's why it's worth having a LinkedIn profile.

I wish they'd update their site though, it's getting pretty stale. They need a dark theme (fairly minor) and they need a way to group your contacts. That last one is especially important, as I often add people who don't know me but seem interesting.
lol people are not rational spenders. Once they begin receiving any sort of stable income, they will bank on receiving it and splurge.

Which is a good thing for the rest of, ironically and economically.
The New York Times. They still have great photos as well as interesting stories. The weekend Wall Street Journal as well.
On the other hand ESP8266 is probably cheaper than as SD card
Let's take the sausage for example.

If you have a clump of meat, it's not a sausage. If it's brought into shape by some kind of "skin", (which nowadays often is artificial "intestine"), then it's a sausage.

So, I'd argue that the word sausage for example describes the form factor, more than the actual content.

I don't think the case is much different in the case of a burger - if it's clearly declared as a veggie burger, one better assume that there's no meat in it.

The distinction between meat and veggie burger is probably even less difficult than the distinction between a veal and a pork burger. You wouldn't want to have to use different names for meat products if they were made from a Kangaroo, or Ostrich, would you?
Market is a dynamically evolving system with feedback loops. If you take into account the passage of time, then what looks like circular reasoning on a static picture, is often a feedback loop in a dynamic system. So it's both true that one came before the other, and that each needs the other to exist.

The full sentence is: The dollar’s claim to fame is that almost all oil is priced in dollars, globally. If France buys oil from Saudi Arabia, for example, they don’t pay in either of their own currencies; they pay in dollars. The same holds true for many other commodities.
And it had 2 squares on the screen with 10 pixel letters inside them saying 'Proceed y/n'?

What kind of a comparison is that? People do care, it's just they care about ease of use (not putting strain on your sanity) over some imperceptible startup time difference or space difference on hard drives that get cheaper every day.
Life time lost? If you can't work remotely just pick up some indoor hobbies. Learn Spanish or French, learn to play guitar, experiment with electronics, contribute to an open source software, or teach something you know to someone else over video. Life doesn't stop as long as we have bandwith.
I'm not disagreeing with that opinion. I just haven't observed young adults taking the lockdown seriously.

I personally work from home (as one of the privileged few being a programmer) and when I do go outside I take social distancing serious. My health in general isn't great although I'm not old (early 30s) and which is why I don't leave my apartment much anymore. I live in a college area and young adults are still going over to each others apartments and without practicing social distancing when going out to buy groceries. I'm in Quebec for context. I've heard it isn't much different in the USA.

Maybe the (possible) solution could work without young people on board.
Can anyone explain how Jitsi is funded? Who's paying for the resources? Seems unwise to use software like that that's provided for free.
I really enjoy the lock down, I walk in nature, have time for the kids. The air is cleaner and there are a shitload of birds.
I dunno, I am not anxious at all. I don't want to go back to the previous state either. I also stopped buying crap I don't need anyway. Stopped drinking.

EDIT: I have to state, we are not in full lockdown. We are allowed to walk around outside, as long as we don't have close contact with others. We have been in lockdown for 3 weeks now.

I think a very important point from this article got lost in this discussion; many engineers aren't aligned with the business and the end users, but instead often needlessly chase new stacks, over engineer the code base, migrate to micro services (prematurely), rewrite an existing codebase in a new hot language instead of just refactoring, needless throwing React/Redux at the problem etc etc. So many times these efforts give zero value to the code base or the product. This type of behaviour seems to go unnoticed since business doesn't understand engineering and has to trust the engineering managers.

You can't expect people to write in the style you want them to.

Emotions can't be just locked in a cage. They will always filter out.

It actually sounds like one of the issues with Evan, he thinks he is doing the right thing but it's just his ego talking. If he were to listen to how he feels about dealing with this issues and talking to the community Elm would be better off and this article wouldn't have happened.

BTW. I think this article could very well kill elm.

Yeah, IMO the cross platform tools are mainly designed for apps that aren't doing hard/uncommon things. Which is a lot of them to be fair.
This is sadly quite ridiculous. The US can't move production out of China through sheer will power, and China is incredibly dominant in production in many industries -- the know-how simply doesn't exist in the US.

This breaks down in daylight (brightness shifts due to sun moving/clouds) or whenever anything shifts ever so slightly. Even shadows may make things appear where they shouldn't.

Chroma keying is the stable version of this idea: the single background color of a separately and well lit background removes these issues.
Only if there is somebody selling the Euros for dollars - which by definition is somebody with a need for US dollars to settle some debt in the US.
LGPL does not require dynamic linking; what it requires is to distribute the application in a form which allows the user to replace the LGPL-covered parts. Dynamic linking is one way to accomplish this, but not the only one.
The question you were answering was not talking about proof search. It was merely asking whether it was possible to do verification in the same language that the program is written in. And, contrary to your response, it is possible to do verification in the same language as the program is written in. Coq is an example of that.

Yes, proof search is undecidable. But that's not what we're talking about in this thread. seL4 isn't verified by proof search. The proofs were provided by humans (with limited automation).
I don't think this would add much value, because it would attract attention away from submissions to the meta-business of their provenance on HN.

I'm wary of adding bookkeeping facilities for that reason generally.

What kind of performance gains would an AMD Zen2 system receive from disabling all of these mitigations?
Tangent but it seems to me that this Covid situation is ripe ground for the next crypto bubble. The envisioned endgame on which the 2017 bubble was based was “hyperbitcoinization,” the prospect that national currencies would give way to bitcoin, but nobody could really explain why. This new space of financial instability seems like ripe ground for the next wave of hyperspeculation.
Will these modifications result in better performance on a non-server user install of Windows 10 Professional?

Its quite simple to develop a model, bundle it up for deployment and deploy. Nobody cares about your fancy YAML based containerized deployment and monitoring setup, everyone has that. The challenge comes in when you have a continuous cycle of data ingestion to model optimization, training, evaluation and deployment. Pretty much everybody has huge amount of code duplication in there. It also comes from the fact that ml researchers are barely capable of programming a light switch, like how are you ever gonna put the horrible trash of code they ducked tape together from medium posts into a production environment. Hopeless.
It's like spitting on a fish.

I've tried it before, but it seems to be only usable with the instance hosted at meet.jit.si. When I try to connect to any other instance, I'm just getting the error "external API not enabled". Sounds like there is some default configuration that prevents this from being used with most selfhosted instances.
> Even if it caught 100%, it would not be worth violating the privacy rights of all of the people who are not criminals.

From the FAQ : "We are fortunate that our friends at 8×8 fully fund the project. 8×8 uses Jitsi technology in products like Virtual Office. The open source community and meet.jit.si service help to make Jitsi better, which makes 8×8 products better, which helps to further fund Jitsi. This virtuous cycle has worked well in the past and should continue to for many years to come."

But that's my point - I knew about every one of those except discord just by following Rust marginally. Also Microsoft and Google etc. reported using it for various bits and peaces.

My impression is that if a company does something in Rust there's going to be blogposts about it and the engineers involved are active community members.

OP argued that there is a silent majority working along on Rust as is and getting caught unexpectedly with the changes - I'm just not seeing that.
The thing is, when you start having a lot of candidates at your door, say, because you are a big company with interesting problems and/or good benefits, and the position is sought-after, your recruitment process costs even more.
So you look to lower that cost by filtering out applicants based on some criterias. People from renowned schools go first because they are more likely to be skilled on average, if you ever deplete that pool, you look for the rest.

I recruit for my company, and we don't do that, in fact we do quite the opposite. But I'm pretty sure that's how big companies see it.

Have you heard this joke? "If you owe the bank a million dollars, you are in trouble. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, the bank is in trouble." Follow up joke - if you owe a billion dollars to a bank, and no one likes you or the bank, no one will care about either of you going down.

As a neutral outsider, I see that there are actually three scenarios which can play out:

1 US comes out ahead after this

2 China comes out ahead after this

3 Both countries engage in a lot of tit-for-tat, impoverishing both sides, and making the world significantly more multi-polar.

As a neutral, I would prefer 3.

What I am saying is that no neutral country has an incentive right now to come on board to help either of these economic superpowers because both have been abusing and exploiting their powers for a long time now, and neither have been particularly trustworthy in their dealings with their friends and allies.

You think the school IT department won't let the GP install Python but will let them install a compiler toolchain? The benchmark for "easy" is you download one binary and run it in userspace. Add any additional steps and you can't use that word anymore.

I'm sure this is pointless because we have wildly divergent worldviews.

But one example would be massive wage disparity between adjacent countries, where people doing the same job in one country earn only a small amount compared to the other. And although cost of living may be lower in the other, important costs are not and objectively it's unfair.
>But if law enforcement has a tactic that lets them catch, say, the stupidest 30% of terrorists, that's an extremely valuable tactic that probably saves a lot of lives in practice.

Let's mix time frames. Should police be able to catch the laziest/stupidest 30% of people who sell weed? Of people who marry across racial boundaries? Of people who traffic freed property back north? Should the police be able to catch the 30% laziest gays?

This is a ridiculous argument - now. But in 30 years when the US still has the laws, we have to understand there are social norms now that will be completely different and maybe people in the US won't want police to do their job.
I'm not quibbling, there's an actual difference between showing interest in something and taking action to actually use something. You were the first to focus on the meaning of words, so I just corrected you when you misread what I wrote, that's all.
On a side note, I think that cryptocurrencies tend to attract highly polarized opinions: from what I saw so far, seems that there are people that try to defend their use at all cost, but there are also others that seems to think that everything that uses a blockchain is gibberish by definition. Please note that I'm not saying that you belong to the latter group, I just wish to point out that in my opinion each use of the blockchain has to be evaluated on its own, and in this case I think there might be some value.
Card carrying member of the unnecessarily complicated stack skeptic's club here, but this is something Electron actually makes sense for. This is one of the few cases where bundling a complete WebRTC stack makes sense, because it's actually being used, and bundling the web browser could potentially make permission management a bit easier which is probably one of the remaining usability problems.

Same here. Knew nobody at Google. I didn't even go to a particularly good school or anything. I was approached by a recruiter. Didn't pass the interview, but oh well.
