"its not possible to be accurate to that resolution with current hardware"

Are you referring to the clock precision of consumer grade hardware here?

In my experience the vast majority of financial time series data is reported in nanoseconds. The data providers, vendors, exchanges and data brokers absolutely have hardware capable of measuring timestamps in nanoseconds.

The accuracy doesn't have to be to 1ns of resolution to warrant measuring in nanos - even to the nearest 100ns is a useful and meaningful improvement beyond micros.

We are a few more millenia away from that one.

It seems our very nature wires us for an us-vs-them mentality and until we can get past that, those patterns will appear in the social structures we set up; naturally creating a ladder of progression.

The idea is nice but the incentives we have to create new products and wealth unfortunately also incentivizes us to hoard the wealth
There are no dumb questions with this problem. What I think you are asking is if the dangerous strains could mutate enough that an immune response to the selected attenuated strain no longer work. The answer is yes this could happen, but if it does we just repeat the process of finding a new attenuated strain.
Maybe we're overthinking this. Learning algorithms can be thrown together pretty quickly (a set of only 21 samples in this case). And further, aren't we talking graduate students? Everything they do is a dress rehearsal for real research later in their career.

I think in Pattern Recognition a character says, "More creativity goes into the marketing of products than into the products themselves."

I'd love to think of it all as some kind of art project, but there are always undertones of manipulation and intentional disaffection.
I think some of the denial is because of the lockdown, the lockdown is affecting their financials, money is more valuable for them then life or medics and some other guys so the lockdown is a mistake, the rest is a lot of number manipulating to prove why we need to remove the lockdown and make money again.

I mean if you see the situation in Italy and Spain and you still say "it is just flu, nothing different then usual" then there is no reality that can save you, maybe if you get sick and end in one of those hospitals...

How do you know that this was the cause of death when all we know is that these people were tested positive on Covid19 before they died?
Not denying that Covid19 is a thing and measures are necessary but I think this question is valid when reading such headlines.
Not sure that's true at all. Would need some further argument to be convinced. Essentially, does that mean that all people are fundamentally mean? That's trivially false.
i don't mind web-pages (or whatever we are talking about) having lots of fields for address, as long as i don't have to type something in all of them.

The cutting tools (dies) for cutting flat sheets like this can be made in literally one day by the type of factories that Apple works with (less if you're in a real hurry).
I visited a cardboard packaging factory near Shenzhen before; They use a combination of a CNC router to cut out slots in the die base plate and a CNC folding machine to pre-fold the cutting angles into the cutting blades.
Smaller hole / lozenge shape cutters are sourced in as pre-fabricated components.

The design is very smart from a manufacturability point of view, I expect we will see other factories making similar face shields in the 100s of millions shortly. Which is great... One of our local supermarkets is already using similar face shields for their customer-facing staff.

My solution was to give up.

I was stressing too much over it and it drives me insane people are so stubborn without any data to back their claims. If provided data they just wave it aside with a random argument and move immediately on to another topic within the subject criticizing something else, so you have to keep extremely sharp in all topics or they just swing from side to side until they find a topic you have no information about and start making shit up, since you don't want to reach conclusions without data they win there as they just create stuff out of thin air.

It's crazy, looks like debate club where the other party never gives up or surrender no matter what happens.

They won, I just do my best to educate the my small ones into critical thinking, save as much money as I can to have some fat for the next shit that comes up and hope for the best. Basically If people are so stupid to behave like that, it's not my problem anymore, my plan is to have enough to take care of my family.

That's really just the result of the decreasing trust within society.

"Bowling Alone" is a good book that tries to explore the underlying reasons for this development, that started some time in the 1960s.

The current "war" in cyberspace probably contributes to it as well. Here is an interesting interview with a US four star general about that new area of conflict: https://youtu.be/qOTYgcdNrXE
There is no need for an arbitrary "markup" that you then restrict based on your use-case (in your case it's some sort international-aware storage of different data).

Databases are designed to store data, and storing markup like your example above is basically a misuse on some level. Your example above has a clear structure, and that structure can be encoded as raw data in database tables. So instead of having a generic set of tables (as per your other comment) to "store markup" data, you would rather come up with tables that represent your actual requirement and what that markup is meant to indicate.

Some database also have inheritance models which allow you to store the data above quite trivially. You basically have a "base" and then extend it with specific fields for each type (en, ru, es, etc).

So please, don't put markup in your database like that. It's a big no-no, and I'm sure your DBAs would tell you that very quickly. Else, just throw that crap into a document-store and make it someone else's problem as is unfortunately all too-common lately.
Of course the answer to everything is always “it depends”. The point is to give generalizations that point people in the right direction to start.
I read about it years ago. Someone used a free Microsoft internet connection to activate their Windows.

The connection only allowed access to MS activation servers, but also DNS.

The DNS would resolve any domain, even the ones that don't belonged to MS, so they could use it to get data out.

I told this story to a few people in my time, all working in IT, and all thought I was bullshitting them, like I was some crazy conspiracy theorist.

And now I'm reading that this is a well known technique and there are even libraries doing this.
A positive test is not even necessary to report them as Covid-19 deaths in the US.

I'm not huge on mocks, but I usually just mock out an email service (which has been manually tested) - that is, I don't test it end-to-end. Everything apart from the actual sending is tested though, such as testing that the email subject and body that would be sent are as expected.

In the past I've also used a local test SMTP server, similar to the service in the article, but much more basic (I forget the name of it now).
Yes this is true, but it has nothing to do with finding an attenuated strain. I addressed this in my post and yes many people who have a mild symptoms are infected with a dangerous strain, but an attenuated strain will only cause mild symptoms. If you want to find an attenuated strain you have to look in people with mild symptoms.
I have come to the conclusion that thinking about convincing everybody of everything just does not work. Like, at all. With "everything" I mean all those many, many big and small things, from "facts" to flat earth to this virus to climate etc. etc., and endless list.

First, it just does not matter at all what most people think. The scientific way would be to develop a good model to see whose opinions actually matter, directly or indirectly (network effects).

Second, there is an endless stream of deaths and births. If you look at the rate that you can possibly achieve to educate people and - far more important - to develop trust, you have to set this "rate of education and trust development" vs. the "rate of exchange in the population". Then it's easy to see that it's an unsustainable idea to try to educate everyone.

Third, what really matters is trust, education about a particular subject comes in with significant distance. The vast majority of people who "believe in [evolution, corona, 'science'" are actually just as clueless as those who don't. That's not criticism, that's just human brain capacity. Ask any real science questions, e.g. from freshman tests in college, and see how many of the "believers" are able to answer.

So I think a better approach is to not dwell on the problem that "x amount of people don't believe in...". It's the wrong problem. It is not possible to solve, unless you have a static extremely long-lived society. Instead, create a system that acknowledges the problem and finds solutions. Like, don't try to convince each and every person of the dangers of a pandemic. Just create rules and enforce them, period. Of course, this works best when people trust the "system", government etc. But solving that trust issue is the far better solution instead of hand-wringing about people's "stupidity", which I think is missing the point completely. There is no way around this so-called "stupidity", and IMO the far bigger issue is a lack of trust.

I'm with Sherlock Holmes and his famous statement about (sort of, don't remember exact words) "what do I care about the solar system and if the earth revolves around the sun?". If somebody works as a butcher, for example, their views of the solar system and of corona should not matter one bit. (Yes they elect politicians - but what does that have to do with anything?)

Yes of course it would be nice with more people knowing more stuff. I myself took lots and lots of (uni) courses way outside my own field just for fun. However, I think looking at that as a solution is looking at a non-solution and a distraction. That would be a bonus to make things better, not what makes it all work at all.
Please don't do that. I hope you haven't implemented such a set of tables in any database.

25/TCP is, technically, for MTA <-> MTA traffic, so many (residential, in particular) ISPs block it because "you shouldn't be running servers".

587/TCP is the "submission" port and is exactly what people should be using instead of 25/TCP (it usually -- but not always -- requires authentication and is pretty much never blocked). Indeed, that's the intended purpose!

A friend of mine still uses a old Nokia from ~2009. Will he get a free smartphone? Who will check if he has it on him? What if he has it on it and the battery is empty? Or the screen is broken? What if suddenly everybody wants a free smartphone? What if suddenly everyone carries a broken old phone with them as a decoy with the police?

The answer to these questions is easy in a authotarian state: you assume they are bad actors and use the full force of the state on them – so people will go out of their way to do as if they comply with your rules even if they don't.

In any democratic nation with a culture of scepticism when it comes to the government it won't be that easy. If you force people to do things over here, you will get a considerable portion of people working actively against you in ways that you cannot prove. It might be easier, more efficient and fruitful to just make it voluntary.
For durable packages there's no technical reason the drone can't sling it between the roof and rail and it's not like delivery drivers don't routinely lob small packages not marked as fragile.

Coronavirus and real estate How to prepare for the effects of the epidemic?
I have no opinion on this but I have read multiple times now that currently if someone dies, say on Heart Disease, and has positively tested on Covid-19, that the death cause is counted as Covid-19. So depending on how many people are really already infected it would be currently kind of impossible to die of anything but Covid-19. Maybe that's all wrong but at least that's how the deniers argue I guess. Can someone refute this argument please?

Ask HN: Why are sub-optimal computer languages the most popular in the world?
How did sub-optimal languages like Python and JavaScript get to be the most popular languages in the world? Saying because they were widely available doesn't make sense to me, because vendors early on could see them becoming popular and fixed them or come up with a replacement before they got so entrenched.
I seem to recall configuring it entirely (sans key generation) in KDE Plasma network settings. I'm guessing you're referring to another applet?

A) the proposal is crazy. You probably don’t need to know if someone has a patronymn or a kunya or whatever. Base what you store on what you need.

B) Storing this as normal data would be an intense pain in the ass to use, for no gain in performance or correctness. Use JSONB, this is what it’s for.
The problem is that, in practice, they're a lot closer to doing the exact opposite. California needs those masks. Massachusetts needs those masks. They're not hoarding masks that would be better used elsewhere. Seizing those masks and then turning them over to private distributors for sale to the highest bidder (who could be the ones who paid for them the first time because they're desperate) doesn't make sense in any context where those in charge of the operation are anything but sociopaths. Wouldn't be surprised if they follow up by looting the graves of those they killed to get jewelry and fillings.
> A positive test is not even necessary to report them as Covid-19 deaths in the US.

But this applies to other forms of death. We count flu deaths in the same way, so the data is equally skewed.

> > > COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.

People can only put it on the death certificate if they can make that assumption to the best of their knowledge or belief. It's not doctors guessing.

Some people does not seems to have any other type of learning skill on some topics.

Let them learn from their own experience or let them see it with their own eyes. There is a theory that anti-vacc is on the rise, because people does not know anybody who suffered from the grave consequences of the diseases which we have vaccines to prevent.

The same probably applies to the COVID-19. That's why I'm wondering, why the news are not full of videos about what is happing in the hospitals and why they are not trying to show what it is really like to have serious symptomps because of the infection.
It would be interesting to see the same chart but limited to just deaths that occur in hospitals.

In increasing degrees of difficulty, how does a government get:

* people who own an Android or IOS smartphone to install a required app? (Might work if Google or Apple pushes the software, but does this outlaw non-stock-Android and IOS operating systems on a smartphone? Will Apple/Google do this for every country with an app?)

* people who don't own a smartphone to buy one? (Subsidized? Black-box devices that only need to be charged at home as an alternative for this group? How do you deal with people who don't want one for valid reasons besides privacy? E.g., people who got rid of them because they are vulnerable to the addictive properties of smartphone apps? And of course people who can't afford them.)

* people who can't use a smartphone to carry one around? (The digitally or otherwise illiterate or mentally incapable, and people with physical limitations won't just disappear overnight. This includes many elderly; exactly the weakest group with this virus.)

It’s too bad that people can’t follow simple requests. Governments are forced to choose between allowing idiot citizens to destroy society or to implement draconian policies.

Medical professionals are being asked to come out of retirement. Nurses are reusing PPE for weeks. Medical students are graduating early to help.

The rest of us are being asked to just stay the fuck home for a few weeks.

And we just refuse to do it. Absolutely refuse. Everyone is suddenly and avid walker. So then governments have to choose whether to let idiot citizens ruin everything... or not.

I don’t blame governments. I blame all you idiots who won’t stop going outside.
Your overthinking it, imagining that a large part of the population wants to be Jason Bourne. It doesn't matter if 1% will evade this (you and your friends).

But you show exactly the bigger problem: the West is so individualistic, that it will rather have millions of deaths and economic collapse than a bit of privacy infringement over a number of months, again, everybody viewing himself as some sort of secret agent that the government is out to get at all costs.

Imho it can be very misleading to think of Instagram feeds, or any social media for that matter, as "private life".

Many social media users are very self-conscious and calculating with the "image" they are building with particular accounts.

It's all feeding into this idea of perfect infallible human beings, as supposedly showcased on social media, but in reality, such humans simply don't exist.

Particularly in the context that often it's our flaws that define us as humans, not being able to admit to having any does not strike me as a healthy and rational attitude.
