Which is what they're supposed to do. They're not the police, the police are the police.

> Essentially, can it be said that the majority of the platform is used for illegal activities? Or are the illegal activities a minority of some other, lawful activities?

This doesn't work because it ends up prohibiting the lawful things anyway. You have a platform that promises witch hunts and the innocent victims of witch hunts get evicted from there, and you have a platform that promises no witch hunts and those people go there but so do all the witches and then you get calls to shut it down because there are many witches. You're left with nowhere for the innocent victims of witch hunts to go.

> I'd want a system where Reddit is in the clear, but CreditCardSkimmersChat is not.

They tried this with SESTA and it was a monumental failure. It turns out when you do this, CreditCardSkimmersChat.com goes away and is replaced with CreditCardSkimmersChat.ru and all that does is make law enforcement's job harder.

You want CreditCardSkimmersChat.com to carry on existing, because that's the place you send your agents to camp out in the chat with a logger and execute a warrant to have their ISP capture all their traffic, and investigate anybody who shows up from your jurisdiction, and collect stolen credit card numbers to report to the credit card companies before they can be used for fraudulent purchases.

You don't want to shut it down because once you know it exists it's a honeypot with a previous reputation for not being a honeypot, and all shutting it down will do is cause it to reappear in Russia or on Tor or at a new site you haven't rediscovered yet meanwhile lots more credit card fraud is happening, which only makes law enforcement's job harder and less effective.

It's like finally discovering the phone number of the crime boss and calling the phone company and ordering them to disconnect their phone.
isn't this the exact problem that tabs solve?
There's no justification for it, people are just speculating. The BoJ buys equities because of long-term structural issues with the Japanese economy (e.g. low birthrate, low immigration, aging population) that cause deflationary pressures in all asset classes. The current situation in the US is nothing of the sort.

My company also uses both. I've never been able to figure out how to properly use webex. Teams basically makes sense to me. Part of the problem is that I need to use separate credentials to launch webex, and I never seem to know what those are. Sometimes I can convince a webex power user to invite me to something, but then I need to install a downloaded executable each time. Teams just makes more sense to me.
Hello! (author here)

Great point you bring up about doing my part -- I've definitely come to that perspective in the time since writing this. There are people much more skilled dealing with things and my job is to get out of the way and not make their job harder.

Stay safe. I'd love to grab a coffee/drink once this all blows over if you're still in Sacramento!

Been following the guy from the Big Short, Michael Burry, who has been going deep in the data and models, and trying to raise awareness.

He tweeted today how Fauci and the mainstream media glossed over how the models already took into account the interventions:

I suspect in 2 years time the death toll will be about the same for everyone. What we will look at is how countries handled society while it happened.

This 'overwhelmed' the system is a deadly meme, the numbers don't work out.

Your suggestion for the problems with this project is "Why don't you just fork it and maintain your own?"
Yes but they're the easiest to ramp up and wind down. Certain segments of the economy as devastated right now. Would not want to be a flight attendant, but airplane engine mechanics are probably still in demand as cargo flights replace passenger traffic (since we're ordering everything online now).

Logically, that would extend to people whose job revolves around signing up restaurants to marketing portals. The restaurants that have an online business are already there. Those that don't have an online business are already closed.
Yeah, that's probably number two on my "ugh, it's this puzzle" list :)
If it gets too rickety for you, you should try PhotoStructure. It's locally hosted, can be run on docker/headless or on a desktop, the libraries are read/writeable across platforms, and it has the most robust asset merging and tag inference that I'm aware of.

My beta users are using it for free in exchange for their feedback. I'm hoping to release the final beta within a week. After beta there will be free and paid tiers.

> Now that uncertainty is going down

Spot price does nothing to measure uncertainty. Volatility is still very high which means, by definition, we are in an uncertain market.

A much better explanation for the dow rising is the opposite of what you propose: we don't really know how this will impact things so it's very hard to price all of this in. Investors already known that unemployment claims this week would be awful so that information is already priced in, but we're still really waiting on information about how all of these impacts will impact businesses as a whole.
Apparently, due to having its own proofreading mechanism, the virus is very stable genetically. I heard that over all the different strains that have been sequenced worldwide, the maximum difference is just 15 base pairs!
Mercurial was not the commercial competitor to Git. The commercial predecessor to both Git and Mercurial was Bitkeeper. The Mercurial and Git projects were both started as a response to Bitmover (the company behind Bitkeeper) announcing changes in how it would license Bitkeeper for open-source projects.
Teams is however _weird_ when it comes to files. Apparently a Teams team has a shadow sharepoint site behind it. The attachments from teams are stored there. However, when I want to embed an Excel sheet from the _actual_ Sharepoint site of my team, I have no way to do that.
There's a good start on a list-expression evaluator here: https://norvig.com/lispy.html

I followed that introduction to start hacking on my first compiler (in an interpreted language with no system calls or any concept of variable scoping). I think I got to implementing an AST before I quit. When I do it again I'll be using a different language (probably Gambit/Gerbil if I can find time to learn them).

Makes me wonder why python is so much easier for me than Gambit? I think it might just be the sheer volume of SE posts, tutorials, and documentation...
This is the most interesting story I have read in a long time. Thank you for sharing.
I don't understand why Swift for Windows has not been updated for 2 years. I guess no one, especially Apple, cares about Swift becoming a general purpose language. For that reason alone, I'm skipping over it, although I hear interesting things about it.

Your analogy is only true on average. In reality, most people are not net losers, but some (with high savings) stand to "lose" a lot.
Yes. If I'm interpreting OP correctly, the single answer to the question is flex. It can seem like a weird API (I STILL to this day have to look up certain things), but once you get used to it it is GREAT.

Also, if you're using styled-components (which I recommend), use styled-flex-component for layout and things get even better. It's such a breeze, it makes even complicated layouts so simple and fast to put together.

I don't like how this article moves the goal posts of whether redux fits our use case or not. It has some valid arguments (dev tools) but the overhead of the boilerplate and tooling around redux is just not worth it IMO.

Much better to break your app state into various custom hooks that leverage Context API and the `useReducer` hook.
THP => never. I thought about that, too.
Nice sub/read, thank you!
Swift is only 6 years old and is growing rapidly on Linux. Despite IBM bowing out it's server frameworks (vapor and Kitura) continue their development. There are Swift compilers for many platforms.
Absolutely! This family actually brought up that concern so I made sure that my product only contains kosher, non-GMO, and organic ingredients :)
Well. I love the fact that Go code doesn’t have generics. Super clear to read. I must be a goof.
Hey.
For the past 2 years, I have been working on LearnObit (https://learnobit.com).

When I first started to learn coding, I used Anki and the old tried-and-tested Spaced Repetition algorithm, but it wasn't suitable for more complex, general topics like Mathematics or Physics.
Because of that, Spaced Repetition has always been widely overlooked despite its proven effectiveness in learning.

I wanted to unlock this effectiveness for a wider audience by building LearnObit,
a tool that combines tree-structure note-taking tools with Spaced Repetition so that you can apply it to more than just simple fact pairs.

And now it even has the feature to export data to Anki, so you can leave with your data when you decide not to use it!
(Of course I don't want anyone to use it, but I couldn't help it, because people wouldn't start using it without this in the first place...)

Anyway, I'll be here anytime if you have any questions for me. Thanks for your time.

Can you give me an example how you got to 400 actions?

I'm not going to go in to detail on HN, but the app I work on is used to make diagrams for the legal industry and to define how they change over time. It's sort of like Visio for lawyers, with a basic animation editor that understands the underlying data. There are a lot of actions simply because it does a lot of things that can't be generalised in to higher level actions (well, they could, but it'd be messy.)
The moon is at the "top" of Earth's gravity well and has relatively low gravity itself. A simple launch system would allow you to shoot rocks at targets on earth whenever you want, using them as kinetic projectiles without the launch costs of putting rods into low Earth orbit. The down side, of course, is that any attacks from the moon would be slow, taking hours at minimum to reach targets.
At the very least, medical supplies and drugs manufacturing will get pulled back into each country. The 3M spat between Canada and the US makes it abundantly clear that in a time of true crisis, you can't even trust your closest friends when something terrifying happens to the world like this pandemic.

Whether it means all manufacturing will move away from China or if it means that they will spread it globally, is an interesting question. China will have more incidents of pandemics for sure, because they haven't learned from the last one, and they won't learn from this one. It's certainly less efficient to have the same products being produced everywhere, but maybe ruthless efficiency isn't good for the world or its citizens, especially when it comes to income inequality.
Ah. So some people like writing makefiles. Interesting.
I address this in the second paragraph:

> impl Trait in return position has changed how people code; but that's because it made certain things suddenly possible, which isn't an idiom change as much as obsoleting some old bad workarounds.

this isn't a new idiom. this is code that wasn't possible before suddenly becoming possible, and people using it.
I always see you in these Redux threads and you are always so helpful, thank you!

Quite a lot more if you include more than just calls.

I believe the way we collect data around the economy needs to be completely rethought. It's clear that the gig economy model is the future for many workers, but it's proliferated in a way that absolves companies of financial responsibility and has created massive inequality that our current system isn't able to effectively address.

We have to rethink the way we define and calculate employment, underemployment, and unemployment to more realistically align with how the labor market works today. It would be a very ambitious effort, no doubt.
Our IT department is pushing Teams very heavily, due to the integration with Outlook etc. But one important feature that seems to be missing is for people to view a shared presentation full-screen, or even better on a second monitor. Perhaps I'm just too stupid to find the option.

Just a minor clarification. When I was speaking of customers, I was speaking in aggregate. I'm not making a claim that all individual customers are having their expressions adequately expressed by their purchasing decisions.
A word that should be better known: Confabulation
The US Federal Reserve is openly buying crap (junk bonds!) and wildly overpaying for it without pretending otherwise.

Its balance sheet will have grown by as much as an order of magnitude by the end of the month, far above any levels seen during the global financial crisis of 2008. (If you don't know what this means, think of the Fed's liabilities as "all forms of money issuance.") It's issuing fresh money to buy crap from the people who are stuck holding it. The sellers will come out whole, the buyer -- i.e., the US government -- will suffer the losses.[a]

Meanwhile, the US Treasury is borrowing and trying to spend on the order of an additional 10% of GDP as quickly as possible, increasing the US federal deficit and borrowings by that much as quickly as possible.[b]

And all of this is urgently necessary to prevent economic collapse in the US. Urgently necessary.

We are in uncharted waters.

I love Redux but I am very frugal about what I put into the store and have come up with a strong set of design patterns with my team to know what should and should not go there. That, in conjunction with hooks for any other stateful concerns we have, makes for a sane and pleasant dev experience.

IMO the biggest and best draw of Redux is how it allows you to completely separate your business logic from your UI layers. Your components only know about props and state and are rather trivial to test. Hooks are great for re-usable logic as well but my team made the choice to have hooks deal only with localized state concerns and have a robust Actions => Services => Reducer layer for everything that speaks to things outside that constraint. Its worked out wonderfully so far. Tests are a breeze and logic is highly portable. Our UI layer is thin and easy to change.

Its not all roses of course. The Redux store can turn into a rats nest of keys and values with no obvious structure (or worse, duplicated structures). It's something that requires actually sitting down and modelling out your data structures. Sadly that's something I don't see very often (and I am just as guilty as anyone else). The Redux team came up with some good guidelines on this point (too lazy to track the link down but its on the main site) and I think they have some really good ideas. I think more than anything its important to consider your store in the same manner you would a database and approach it with that kind of mindset. As with all things JS, its easy to dive in, hard to untangle yourself! :)
Yea, cryptocurrencies will never be known as crypto. The term was coined long ago as a short hand for cryptography.

So I have not watched this yet (as I have never heard of it before today) but will do so soon. However based on the description of the movie, it's hard not to view it as a major source of inspiration for the character Tchitcherine from the Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow. Tchitcherine is part of the red army stationed in Central Asia, who saves and befriends an ethnic minority from Kazakhstan. Pynchon's scenes are both reminiscent of westerns and slapstick, through out the book but also in full force during the Tchitcherine sections. Considering GR's major themes are film and rockets (ones that destroy us and well as ones that take us to the stars) it's really hard to imagine that Pynchon himself had not watched this before publishing his novel 3 years after The White Son of the Desert's release.

All that said I have found no mention of anyone putting these two things together.

Leaving work for childcare is currently a valid reason to go on unemployment. They should try to work this out with one of their employers. They could each go down to 50% time and pay and be supplemented by unemployment currently. There is a lot of flexibility they aren't taking advantage of and then complaining about how hard it is.
Ethics is a luxury. In a bad economy, people are probably more ready to take on less ethical jobs.

So Japanese companies move operations to China because it's cheaper, leaving Japanese jobs behinds. Those businesses profit from cheap labor, emissions, and materials. Now Japan is subsidizing their return to Japan with $2.2 billion.

I really hope the US doesn't adopt this (narrator: they will). It's a slap in the face to tax payers.
When I see a .0 release I've come to expect a fancy new feature. When there's a minor increase, especially when there's multiple versions mentioned in the same headline, I assume there's a CVE in the patch notes.

Hmm, good point. I think I would add that for it to be a static site, it must also be fully functional when there is no network access. A SPA that, for example, generates the Mandelbrot set and displays it, would fit this definition. A SPA that asks google for stock prices and displays them would not be, because there is additional data being requested outside of the static files served.
Would be a fun data science project: given the READMEs of all github projects, find the longest chain of programming language implementations without (close) duplicates.

Prove that it is a valid chain by actually running all compilers.

Bonus points for less common languages such as SNOBOL and Mumps, or languages rarely reimplemented and/or rarely used for writing compilers such as TI-59 or Lotus-123 macro language.
Fed does not have the authority to do that, per se. Fiscal stimulus is congress and the Treasury's job. Monetary policy is a completely different thing. The Fed is already buying Treasury bonds, which are in part being used to fund the direct stimulus measures in the form of PPP grants/loans, unemployment payments, and the $1200 check. In addition to buying PPP loans themselves. So the current situation is about as close to what you are suggesting as is legally possible.
you're downvoted (i upvoted) but what you're saying is completely true. everyone that downvotes is one of those "well akcshually..." people. it's plain as day that it's true even if it's not formally true. the formal rules of governance and policy are manipulated to make it so. it doesn't not mean that it isn't so. the old adage that there have always been things that were legal but immoral/unethical applies. longer you bury your head in the sand (people that dissent without any substantive response) the longer we will be mired.

here's an example: do you all realize that the banks providing these loans are being paid essentially commission [1] for making the loans? anywhere from 1% to 5%? 5% on 500B is 25B in the pockets of bankers. why?

[1] bottom of the page here under PPP incentives https://www.chapman.com/insights-publications-SBA_Paycheck_P... . and if you think covering "processing fees" isn't commission then ask yourself as a programmer why it's not a flat incentive? does it cost more to process the paper work for 100k loan than a 10k loan?

edit: what in the fuck am i getting downvoted for? i have a literal citation of a tax attorney. i'm not editorializing or taking anything out of context or whatever. it's right there:

>the SBA will reimburse lenders for PPP loan processing fees, based on the disbursed loan amount: 5% for PPP loans up to $350,000; 3% for PPP loans greater than $350,000 and less than $2 million; and 1% for PPP loans of $2 million or more

what could you possibly disagree with here??? jesus christ forgive me if your naive understanding of the world doesn't reflect reality.

What are your thoughts on GitHub vs. Gitlab?
Hey guys, I'm creating a brand new 2020 edition article on the topic - "GitLab vs Github"

And I'm looking for your expert opinions on the topic.

If you can these questions it would be great:

Github or Gitlab?

What is the one feature that you really love about the platform you are using?

Why do you use your current platform instead of the other?

Also, feel free to send me your twitter account so that I can feature you in my article!

Thanks!
