I am not sure I like the idea of a global system led by a country that has been at war ever since world war 2 (arguable the cold war was not a war but that is debatable).

The is a good reason why the US spend more on their military then the rest of the world combined. They are at war. Same reason why their surveillance operations operate indiscriminately against anyone they can target. They are at war. Countries in peace time operate very differently from countries in war time, and the behavior of the US is one of a country in war.

EU could be better but it was original designed to create a single market in order to improve production and decrease the risk of war within EU. In order to apply that model globally you would need to make a global single market, and that concept has a lot of problems since you then need a single common standard for all production of products, services and goods, and it need to be uniformly enforced.

Neither seems such as good entity to put our hopes on for a common basic value set in regard to liberal democracy, rule of law, and universal human rights. It should also be noted that the US do not agree to the EU definition of universal human rights, something that was quite talked about during bush and obama era when officials argued in favor of torture as a interrogation method.

As a non-US citizen, I would like to see the US elect someone who want to end their constant wars. Trump was almost such candidate with his "american first" slogans, even if the chance of that actually happening was slim. Sanders is a new chance, as he want to redirect military funding into social safety nets and health care. Biden however, similar to clinton, has been part of the government that increased funding to the military and in his public statements there is nothing to imply that under their rule there will be finally peace time.
I doubt that most people understand that using Gmail (or similar) means their emails are analysed, much less that they are tracked across the web and that such info is assembled by hundreds of companies and sold and resold many times.

Most people in San Francisco might understand it. Do most people in Chennai, Nairobi, Rio or even in Smalltown, USA understand that?
I just meant that there are technical approaches that don't necessarily involve centralized storage of everyone's movements and contacts, but achieve the same goals.

Singapore (and others, for that matter) has allegedly solved some of these issues in their soon-to-be open source contact tracing app [0].

They basically let every device keep track on itself and it's encounters - until a diagnosis is made.

Can't remember the details from there off the top of my head, but you'd either do a lookup via a central authority, or notify peer-to-peer, depending on what other mechanisms are in play (ephemeral/co-signed IDs, etc.)

Coronavirus State-by-State Projections: When Will Each State Peak?
Coronavirus: UK will have Europe's worst death toll, says study
The German's app will use bluetooth to track whom you're closed to on the device. When you get ill, the device notifies everyone that id 18911-2342-112312 has it and people who came in bluetooth range to you will get a notice to self isolate.
But if you have to breathe in infected air, doing so with your nose is far better than your mouth, since your nasal cavity has thicker membranes and a lot of mucus and hairs to catch particles, whereas through your mouth the particles are going straight into your lungs.

In fact, that effect might be so significant evolutionationary that it is the reason we have a seperate nose and mouth, rather than combining the two.
Why Explore the Moon
I don't think most people consider that "rich". They consider that "upper middle class" or even possibly "upper class", depending on lifestyle.

But "rich" indicates a lot more money and a lifestyle above those.

My father came from a family that couldn't afford to put any of their children through college. They wore hand-me-down clothes and barely got by.

Through his own hard work, he learned engineering and management and had a family with none of the problems above. That's definitely 'success' in my definition, but I wouldn't call us "rich".

My wife and I are both software devs, and we make good money. But I still wouldn't call us "rich". Definitely successful, though.

I guess one could argue that there was luck along the way, but not "insane luck" because I can't point it out. There were no lotteries or inheritances involved.

My point is that unless those business owners managed to have multi-million-dollar bank accounts, I don't think they were rich, just successful. I think the number of people who do manage that, without being blatantly dishonest, is pretty small. Not non-existent, just pretty small.
> Btw using mobile emulation I tried iPhone 5/SE/6/7/8/X, and on none of those did the signup form take up the whole screen.

I should have specified here: I didn’t open the site all the way, instead I did a long press on the link from HN which shows a preview of the page in a smaller-sized frame. This frame only showed me a signup link, so it was enough for me to determine your site must not be worth my time, and I closed the preview. I do this with nearly all links to sites I haven’t been to, exactly because it’s easier to close the preview when it’s something like this signup link.

> Don't know why you think my emails are spam! I think there are nicer way to convey your message, but appreciate you are sharing your thoughts.

Others have chimed in to clarify here, but I haven’t seen anything on your site yet but a signup form. How am I to know it’s not spam?

If you’re like me, you don’t just go putting your email into random fields on the web, because the probability a given signup link will eventually give your email away to scammers is really high. If not because the site you’re on is a scam site, then because the database it’s using will probably get hacked some day. Or maybe they’ll sell the site to somebody else some day, and the whole mailing list goes with it. Who knows. But a general policy I have is, I just don’t give my email out to people I don’t trust. (And I just arrived at your site, how would I know to trust you? Because you say so?)
In this case, even if it only does exactly what it says it does, the data gathered is more valuable than anything else. Complete movement profiles of an entire nation. Can you put a price tsg on that?

From that perspective whether it is open source is a secondary consideration.
funny how the others dont move, this is fake news.
> but why polute host

The package manager can handle removing pretty much any file it installs when uninstalling, so the host really doesn't get "polluted".

> or go back to VM overhead per application

In a development environment hosted on a VM, several applications can be installed on the VM (rather than having one per VM) to reduce overhead. Then testing and making code changes could be done by running a pip -e (editable) install and modifying code in the working directory, or making the change, repackaging and re-installing, and restarting the daemon.

With a container, at least in my experience, you need to re-build it each time you make a change to the code, which actually takes longer than modifying an editable install or re-building the wheel/RPM and reinstalling it.
so it's only LA right?

Oh, damn. The OpenVMS hobbyist license is actually why, a long time ago, I joined DECUS Munich. It was a very complicated affair: DECUS Munich was one of the few DECUS organizations that accepted members from outside their area (I was nowhere near Munich, and there was no DECUS organization anywhere near me -- ironically, I think DECUS Munich was the closest one). I am pretty sure they had an age restriction so I may have lied on my application form, as I was 14 or 15 at the time or something like that. Also I didn't speak or write any German so the application form wasn't exactly easy to fill in. This was before Google Translate, so I had to go out and buy a German dictionary. Thankfully, a lot of its members spoke English and they were extremely nice to me.

It then took about two months for the thick envelope containing a booklet, some promotional material from a bunch of sponsors, and my membership card to reach me by snail mail. I'd given up hope by then -- the local post service is extraordinarily bad and I assumed they'd lost it.

I still carry my DECUS member card in my wallet, and it's getting harder and harder to explain what it is...

Edit: the world is a very small place. Many after that, it turned out that one of my colleagues at the time was also a DECUS Munich member. He was an extraordinarily bright German physicist, many years older than me, doing research at the same lab where I was working at the time. I don't know how many members DECUS Munich has, or had, but oh boy!
Edit: the comment I replied to has since been edited to show how the teacher understood what he was doing, and how he made it teachable lesson and not a punitive one.

Not to miss the point, but I don't think "All my students failed" is the mark of a good teacher. It sounds like the teacher failed to prepare their students for the nature of the assignment. Perhaps he was surprised as they were when they all failed, as I doubt failing most of his class was his intention.

What you want is not markup, but tagged unions. It's a real shame SQL and many other languages don't support them.

Also, your example about Spanish names doesn't take into account that nowadays parents can choose the order of family names, and that gay marriage has been legal for 15 years. Which reflects a deeper truth: don't make too strong assumptions about reality, for it may change.

The trick is to time this with when you normally take a shower and run the washing machine. Then apart from the shoe cleaning it’s not much extra bother.
”reaction times of 200 milliseconds to routinely catch balls every 120 milliseconds.“

I don’t see why one would describe that 120ms as “response time”. Jugglers look at the top of each ball’s trajectory, and barely see their own hands. That’s when motion planning for hand movement can start, and that can easily be a quarter of a second before it has to be caught.

There is some fine-tuning during the catch, but I would think that’s a lot faster than 120ms.

What is surprising is that, while a juggler’s hand moves to catch a ball, the information for where the next ball (or few balls, for those juggling many balls) will have to be caught becomes available, so that information either has to be stored away, or jugglers can run multiple hand movement tasks in parallel (I would guess the latter)

Everyone generates an anonymous ID, if they come within Bluetooth proximity the devices trade these anonymous IDs. No location data is collected and none of the data is sent over the internet.

If you become infected you have the option of broadcasting your ID as being infected and others can compare the infected list against the IDs collected on their phones.

None of the data you mentioned is being collected.
I thought the entire point of wearing a mask was precisely because we don't have clear evidence as to it's effectiveness. With such a degree of uncertainty (we are literally in the midst of an epidemic) it's not very practical to wait around for perfect information and evidence before you act

Why can't we make an effort to raise the height of the bottom rung of the ladder? In the case that we did, wouldn't charity then be unnecessary?
I'm no expert in this field, hence my dumb question: lets assume we find such an attenuated strain and "infect" people with it such that they could all build the anti-bodies for it. Couldn't the dangerous strain still mutate itself over time in a way where the anti-bodies for the attenuated strain wouldn't help anymore or is this rather considered unlikley (since the virus then would have to become fundamentally different)? In other words, would we then end up with the possibility of similar mutations as with the seasonal flue where this "vaccine" with an attenuated strain would have to be renewed periodically? In any case, thanks for working on this!

> You could learn to pick better frameworks. I can’t remember the last time I dealt with a framework bug in react and I’m working on multiple teams on about two dozen web apps. And that’s without including other jobs.

I have used quite a few frameworks over the years and there is always some PITA issue you have to deal with.

> It sounds like you’re not really working on apps frameworks like react are supposed to deal with, (7 files of typescript) so why do you care?

You don't need large frameworks to scale something. You can just do it with applying the right patterns (that these large frameworks use) and get 80% of the benefit. However that requires (shock and horror), thinking for yourself and learning how things work properly.
One could say as well: This is one of the few cases where not living in an open society where citizens have rights might save lives.

I wonder. Some of my friends don't own a smartphone. How will that contact tracing app run on their Nokia from 2010? Or will they get a smartphone from the state? How would you check if someone owns a smartphone, or whether they are pretending to have one of the old ones? If your goal is to get as many installations as possible on devices people take with them is it really the most productive thing to try forcing it?

Don't get me wrong, I do realize that propper contact tracing is the only way to deal with this virus until we got a vaccine, but I don't see how a mandatory app installment could be enforced in any western state without breaking fundamental rights. You'd literally have police knock at doors and force people to unlock their phones in order to check the installed apps, if you really want it to be installed everywhere. You would have to stop people in the street and have them show you their device AND frisk them to make sure they are not showing you a decoy device with the line: "Ooops the battery went out" or "Ooops I broke it a few minutes ago".

No – in western democracies transparency and voluntariness carries much farther. If the CCC approved any contact tracing app, even I'd immidiately install it without hesitation. If however I had to trust a closed source app by a government which tried at every turn to legalize the surveilance state I'd probably not do it. If the state would force me to do it, I would actively work against it and help others to do the same.

1. You are looking for partial deletions of essential genes, not full. Many of these deletions are going to weaken the virus, but not cause the virus to not be able to replicate.

2. An inactivated vaccine will have to be given again and again. A live attenuated vaccine can drive the dangerous strains to extinction. Also attenuated vaccines protect those not vaccinated.

3. In theory you could engineer a virus with deletions, but nobody knows what deletions will work. By using natural deletions you know are mild you get around this problem. It also solves the regulatory issue as you are not going to be able to quickly test a lab made strain.
A much smaller list.
I have fond memories too, it was around 2002/2004 ish when I inherited an alpha server 2100A from a friend and wanted to put OpenVMS on it, being in a small town in New Zealand I went to the HP building in the closest city and asked to speak to someone about OpenVMS

They of course had no idea what I was talking about, and after 5 cycles of (10: explain what I want, let me get someone technical for you, I don’t know what you’re talking about, go to 10)

I finally managed to get someone to point me at the OpenVMS hobbiest programs.

Eventually a managing to get the install media I got the system running and spend 2/3 years coding applications for this weird system, while also working on the Linux port for the alpha chips.

So much fun and positive memories, I’m sad to see the hobbiest program come to an end
> The IHME modelling forecasts that by 4 August the UK will see a total of 66,314 deaths – an average taken from a large estimate range of between 14,572 and 219,211 deaths, indicating the uncertainties around it.

These - like many other mostly baseless predictions - seem to me more random numbers than anything else.

Between 50,000 and 70,000 is a range, where you can say that 60,000 is an average, bewtween 14,572 and 219,211 is "everything and the contrary of it".
