Ask HN: Have you transitioned from software to finance?
Good grief that's a dramatic article. The economic decline may be stark but that's what happens when you effectively freeze economic activity. I'm not really sure why exactly things are never supposed to be the same given that people still have their training, factories are still around and those can be reopened once sufficient safety is guaranteed.

There's disruption in supply chains and business formation and whatnot, but I think it would be better to think about the economy in terms of actual resources and human capital rather than stock market figures, the former isn't vanishing into thin air.

There's this tendency to dramatically overrate the impact of contemporary events. People said the same thing after 9/11 when it came to other aspects of life, and apart from increased airport security and a few costly wars there indeed was nothing new under the sun.

The CDC estimated that the swine flu in 2009 may have killed up to half a million people globally. We'll see what the death toll of this is at the end but this isn't humanity's first pandemic and it isn't its worst, not by a significant margin.
Oof, Rutgers miswrote the entire article. Flagged for being extremely misleading on Rutgers' part (OP only quoted them).

This isn't an approval, it's an Emergency Use Authorization. They're completely different. https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-...

An EUA is specifically to permit unapproved uses in exigent circumstances only. Approval still requires the full workup: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/approvals-fda-regulated-prod...

@dang, is there value in changing the title from its current state ("FDA Grants Approval for First Saliva Based Coronavirus Test") to "FDA grants Emergency Use Authorization for Saliva Based Coronavirus Test"?

A month without humans, bears are moving through survey zones more frequently. The problem highlighted here is our methods for setting up survey zones is terrible and is severely UNDERCOUNTING the population.

Even more troubling is systems of surveillance like these provide the inputs for the climate change models we've depended on and which have predicted we'll all be extinct in 50 years.

I swear by the end of Covid19 we're all going to look back at the models and determine what climate skeptics have been saying for decades: Models are easily manipulated by bad inputs - and generally trash
Ask HN: Why Did COBOL Die?
You don't see many programming languages that simply drop off the map. Even those whose heydays have passed, like Lisp and Fortran, tend to retain niche communities over the decades and get used at the occasional company.

But COBOL is dead dead. Nobody writes it as a hobby. No company builds new projects with it. It's 100% in maintenance mode.

What happened that caused that?
One solution that has helped me is this extension[0] that reads pages using Google Wavenet, which is a very decent AI generated text-to-speech, so it's almost like listening to a lecture in YouTube. It takes a bit to setup but after you do it's working perfectly.

I like the idea of simplifying the tool chain, but I'm curious how flexible Rome will be in terms of settings/customization.

Like, if it "replaces webpack", am I locked into Rome's idea of what an "optimal bundler config" looks like? If I need more from a bundler, do I have to completely replace Rome with the "old" toolchain? How extendible is Rome on its own?

I'm wondering if it will have something like CRA's "eject" that allows you to override the defaults, without having to replace entire portions of it.

Do the bears really care which person bothers them? I've lost my nose for irony at this point.
I can't understand the line of thought some of you are having.

I can barely live and function in my daily life, as well as trying to not become homeless and die.

How do you expect me to successfully lobby anybody, especially when they can say "well X amount of doctors don't even believe this specific rare disease even exists? Obviously, he's just lying to in an attempt to financially cheat the system"

Get out of your bubble haha. While cheap airfare may be a plague upon the world, things like the U.S. government is as well, and for quite some time has been (see overthrowing other countries in S.A. and trying to deny it) - but cheap airfare is really the only option I've been given for an attempt at a normal life. The U.S. government... for the most part hasn't. The small handout of Medicaid I get tries to haggle me, probably in a hope that without the care I'll die sooner and no longer be a drain, every step of the way...

I'm sure we all know solutions to a lot of problems. However, we should know, that those solutions are simply unattainable. Which I guess, would in the end... make them not a solution?
I'm all for pollution controls, clean power, etc, but I don't see how this is related to the article.

As I understand it, the material supply chains for testing are limited in two key ways: The sample collection material (swabs), and the reagents that the tests need to function.

It sounds like this helps address the sample collection material supply chain, but how do we scale the reagent supply chain? The entire world desperately needs test capacity to increase by a factor of 10 or more, but is that actually possible?

Every single expert says mass testing is the only way to get ahead of this before a vaccine arrives, but I'm very worried that mass testing on the scale needed is simply impossible, which leaves us with only two choices - stay in lockdown for over a year waiting for the vaccine, or accept that herd immunity is the only way out, and do what we can to minimize the damage as the virus spreads, e.g. mandating masks in public, keeping the elderly population isolated while the rest of the population is gradually exposed,etc.
Never been to Yosemite, you? I would like to go one day, but I'd be happy to wait in a gov't queue to help limit human intrusion in wildlife preserves.
I respectfully disagree. Yosemite is massive, and the population of bears simply did not quadruple or migrate from other areas 4x.

After a few seconds of thinking about it, it’s obvious that 4x the bears were not born there, but it’s just interesting enough to get a click, to find out what the headline really means, and therefore is a type of clickbait.
1. I'm well aware of that. Is that the only new evidence that's come to light since the piece I linked to though? Would have expected something more solid than unnamed sources from inside national security (see: big hack)

2. I'll grant that that's possibility in the exact same sense in which I grant the centralized cover-up theory to be a possibility, and in which I grant both the lab creation and the lab accident origin theories to be possibilities. But I'm not interested in possibilities. What I'm interested in is positive evidence supportive of this or that theory.

EDIT: Big Oops. This is Foreign Policy, Not Foreign Affairs (the CFR publication). :/ That explains why they would mention a debt jubilee.

Foreign Policy is the main outlet for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which is one of the main organizations of the establishment. It is useful to read to see what the establishment is thinking, although of course one should not expect too much honesty.

This article is academically hysterical in tone and doesn't say very much, other than things are unprecedented and central banks are trying things on a scale never tried before. Of course the problems with globalization (which the CFR championed) will never be discussed.

It does mention a Debt Jubilee, which is the best option we have right now, but doesn't drill down on it. It says something about how dire the situation is that they will even mention it without completely dismissing the idea.

For those of you interested at home, Steve Keen is the economist who has done the most work on what a fair modern debt jubilee would look like:

http://www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/manifesto/

It makes sense to call instead for a more active, more visionary government to lead the way out of the crisis. But the question, of course, is what form that will take and which political forces will control it.

The CFR has consistently advocated for global government, and you can expect this to be their solution to this crisis.

I think there's a misunderstanding here - I was sloppily conflating together MITM (a malicious server admin who has created a false device eclipsing a real one, who forwards traffic onto the real one, having reencrypted it) and a "ghost device" (a malicious party who has added a new device to your account which is sniffing your messages).

My point was that to mitigate both attacks, it's vital to verify key identity out of band. I agree MITM is much less likely than passive listening via a ghost device: we haven't seen MITM in the field, but we have seen attackers try to add ghost devices to spy on accounts (by acquiring a login password, adding a new device, and hoping the victim doesn't notice they've sprouted a new E2E device and that nobody verifies devices).
Broader visitation could help significantly without needing limits (not that I oppose limits). There's a lot of focus on the 'crown jewels', Yosemite, Yellowstone, Arches, Zion, a few others. But there are a lot of really great places, much closer to home, that get passed over in our collective obsession with top ten lists.
AI Transforms RGB-D Images into 3D Format
I am an incredibly huge fan of Inkscape and the monumental efforts put forth by the developers of this amazing piece of software. I cannot do half of the things I've done in Inkscape that I've tried to do in Visio.
I understand your point, but I don't think it changes the manipulability – you could just manipulate the messaging on the slides. But the problem is that the slides aren't necessarily perfectly formatted so as to be consumable on their own.

For example, perhaps important context was forgotten about a chart, but someone reading it ahead of time without the author present will get the wrong idea and focus the whole meeting on that. Or you increase the workload of preparing the deck because now you're trying to make it suit two purposes.

So I think the author should present the information the way they intended, have follow-up in realtime or shortly after, and make the slides available during or afterward for reference.

Building Rome does require typescript. It's a devDependency.
Using Rome (ie, the `rome` command that gets built) does not.

"No dependencies" seems accurate to me, since it refers to use of the built product, which is what will presumably be used in the future when you can `npm install rome`.
There are no issues on the side of CDDL anyway.

Larry can't change the fact that GPL is the source of incompatibility - the general interpretation is that GPLv2 forbids code that has stricter licensing terms than GPLv2, and CDDL happens to have that - in form of patent grant.

It's also why GPLv3 code has a license issue with Linux kernel, which is GPLv2.

To be honest, its much easier to port Linux software to MacOS than to Windows. Why? Because MacOS & Linux are both Unix-like OS.

I am not sure how to engage with this reply. It is of course unsurprising that European banks do not have integrations with the Federal Reserve for moving USD. European banks often have access to international systems like SWIFT and SEPA, and various national payments systems, instead.

I have precious little information to offer you on the workings of European funds transfer services, however; I posted here to discuss Fedwire specifically, since you brought it up.

> We need more pollution controls, clean power, and less driving.

I don't know about the less driving part. Less driving implies higher density living and massive reliance on public transport. I think the higher density and massive reliance on public transport have been one of the big reasons why New York City has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the US and a much higher mortality rate than the rest of the country.

Speaking of cars, I for one have been very happy that I can go get needed supplies without having to ride a public transport system. My exposure risk with driving is basically zero no matter how far I travel, and depends only on my endpoints. However, with a public transport system, it increases with the time and number of stops since that brings me into contact with more people for longer periods who may be infected.

Throughout history, high density cities have shown themselves to be magnets for plagues and pandemics. I hope people and companies learn the value of spreading out and maybe allowing workers to work remotely, instead of insisting all their workers crowd into high density, expensive cities.
I've been using fuse-box for a while, and am not sure I could be much happier. It's a bundler with big dreams, but mostly it's just really fast and the devs are responsive.

That's one way to look at it.

The other way is that Amazon is growing their mindshare even more, pulling in more long term customers of Amazon Prime, Prime Video, and Fresh. Not to mention Twitch and Audible, which should be growing as well.

Plus, they own AWS which is the majority of their profits. The huge surge of usage this Q might even be enough to offset any additional expenses.

If there's a dip because Amazon misses earnings, long-term investors will surely buy it because of Amazon is simply growing market share, and one of the few companies that will come out of this stronger.
The standard stack is unnecessarily complex and very difficult to security-audit. By not having any third-party dependencies, you don't need to trust thousands of individual developers to not have their NPM accounts compromised or to push something with a subtle security bug.
Umm, because there aren't any? There are still people in Yosemite, and sattelite imaging isn't under a Shelter order...
In practice you can actually get extremely close to having Nix manage your whole macOS system with the exception of actual OS-level updates (and particular tools like Xcode, I suppose).

John Wiegley’s system configuration [0] is an example of this, although it is extremely ambitious and definitely not a good place to start for anyone who has used Nix before.

One of the interesting things that Wiegley does for further reproducibility is to have Nix manage and install DMG-based Applications [1] in addition to CLI apps, services, and other system-level things.

This is false. The remedy was requested in oral arguments before the district court. This was pointed out in the dissent by Justice Ginsberg, but completely ignored by the majority. You can see this in the record off the original district court case, captured on RECAP.

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16989159/democratic-nat...

As a result of the Supreme Court's order, tens of thousands of Wisconsin citizens did not receive an absentee ballot, despite putting in a lawful request prior to the deadline. We will never know how many votes were not counted as a result, nor how many people were infected while standing in line to vote because their absentee ballot did not arrive in time.

I also find it interesting to note that the majority did not sign their names to the decision, hiding behind a "Per Curium" byline. This is highly unusual, as the per curium designation is usually reserved for obvious and unimportant cases. The dissenters, in contrast, had no problem accepting personal responsibility for their opinion.

This article doesn't demonstrate the earth "healing" (certainly not in a 1-month timeframe), and there isn't a quadrupling in bear population; the headline is a lie as the article later clarifies. The headline is referring to bears spreading out from their habitat to temporarily-vacated human habitats.
I hope and pray that this is the case.
This may be the best time for us to make a change in the way the world works. Our lives have been disrupted, and we need to strive to make lasting changes for the greater good.
Lazydocker is made by the same guy yes! I don't find it as useful though.

> The true power of CLI apps comes from "alias" commands that you build up yourself

I usually agree. I spent way too many hours making aliases and I'm very proficient at it. But sometimes there's something like lazygit which does everything my aliases did, but slightly better as it gives me, for example, line-by-line staging and vim keybindings.

It is true that it does not compose, but I can still (and do) use the command line. It's just a nice increase of productivity in 90% of the cases (for me!)

Note: I'm not related to the lazygit project in any way, just very satisfied with it
