Best I can tell, the article doesn't even mention the cause of death. :-) Did they die because they were given HCQ or did they die in spite of being given HCQ? We'll never know.

And the paper itself (https://web.archive.org/web/20200413181618/https://www.medrx...) doesn't say that either, and mentions that this study's randomization was flawed in that older patients with heart disease were assigned to the high dosage arm of the experiment.
I'm not surprised because it's the differentiating camera feature between the SE/XR and the 11. My friends and family that have Night Mode love it, but most don't care that much about multiple lenses. I too believe the SE is up to the task. Hopefully someday Apple will issue a software update that enables it.

Either way, I'm going to upgrade as the 1st gen SE camera is showing its age. Everything else about the 1st gen is still good enough for me.
I believe they are separate; its just naming confusion.

One is called "tiered routing" and is a dropdown in settings whereas the "nat" solution nowadays is implemented as cloudflared.
I used a Ansible for years before switching to NixOS. The problem with ansible is it is an imperative configuration tool that makes efforts to be declarative, but is not fully. Most runs fail to be declarative, eg even something as basic as “apt update” is irreversible. Ultimately, Ansible requires you to write code that is (State, Code) -> New State, whereas NixOS is truly Code -> State
That’s not some law of the universe, though, that’s a result of our specific culture which is itself the result of individual values and decisions.
I’ve always wished I could directly pay for investigative journalism instead of having to pay for opinion writing as well.
I wish cloudflarestatus.com (powered by StatusPage) offered a subscription (like https://status.box.com/, also on StatusPage) so you could get a pro-active notice about outages.

I had to debug customer issues to find out that this was down.

Even if they don't want to offer this to the general public (free customers), they should have another notice mechanism for enterprise customers.
Holy Shit! Imagine being the CEO of a RadioShack, then saying "I want to become a Doctor" and actually doing it. That's amazing! Love this story.
I realized I was not going to miss my headphone jack when I plugged in headphones and they didn’t work. Realized I hadn’t plugged in headphones for several months.
Besides that study just being in vitro (which is promising, but far from conclusive), the concentrations they needed to have an effect were really high: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-hydroxychloroquine-and-...

> I also note that the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) for blocking viral replication in vitro was 1.13 μM and the half-cytotoxic concentration (CC50) was greater than 100 μM. These are high concentrations for a drug, especially the CC50.
You are forgetting the seam where it goes to sleep after a while when it’s not being used every few minutes, and needs to be reconnected while the customer is waiting. In a crowded convention hall full of thousands of other vendors doing the same thing.

Oh, and the seam where if you do get it to connect to your phone, you then have both your phone and the customer’s phone fighting to get a connection to a tower saturated by people sharing their con photos/videos, streaming, and trying to process credit card transactions. It’s bad enough with one phone trying to authorize the transaction.

Also the seam where it’s one more damn thing to run out of power when you are at a table with nowhere to plug in because you are not gonna be moving enough stuff to be worth paying a couple hundred extra for the power fees unless you are a small press with the work of a dozen or so creators on your table.
It survived both political parties in power. It might get chipped away over the next 30 years or replaced with public option etc, but bringing back the preexisting condition issue would be extremely unpopular. Also, it does not actually cost insurance companies much money as they can all just raise premiums.
I also noticed that the caption under the sail broken up through the ice called the submarine a "ship". When my dad was stationed at SubLant in Norfolk VA, everything was a ship except the subs which were always "boats". Is this still the case?
Operating the company is an "unnecessary liability for the future."
Well, don't paint with a broad brush. I love solving problems too, and I love learning new things. I too played with computers as a kid and my middle school friends and I built websites for fun. I wasn't exposed to real programming (beyond neat Javascript tricks) until CS class in high school.

However, science has always been my #1 thing, and programming is my probably my #3. Interesting, but not the only thing I want to do. Working 40 hours a week at it is enough for me. I still love learning new things and getting better at the craft, but when I go home, I have other hobbies.

I'm hacking my treadmill with Arduino for fun. I'm brazing metal. I'm riding my bike more. I'm reading a fiction book that just came out. I just read a book about world development. All of that is a lot more interesting to me than going home and sitting at a different desk doing more programming, you know?

And while I'm not offended by your comments and this is entirely non-personal -- really, I'm just curious as well and enjoy talking to people with different perspectives -- the attitude that if I'm not always programming, I'm "less than" than other programmers seems oppressive to me. I'm still smart, I'm still curious, I'm still good at my job. But there's still the perception that if I am not programming more, I am falling behind.

So the solution for people like me is to pretend to be someone like you, who loves programming above all other things, and it's mildly exhausting. It's great that you love programming so much and I kind of envy you. But not everyone needs to be exactly like you to be a worthwhile contributor. (Again, not personal, I just enjoy putting these thoughts into words.)
> Does anyone know where Alex Jones gets his ideas? Part of me thinks his team just makes shit up, but sometimes he seems to be part of a coordinated effort.

IIRC, a former InfoWars employee goes into that a bit in this article:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/magazine/alex-jones-infow...:

> I Worked for Alex Jones. I Regret It.

> I dropped out of film school to edit video for the conspiracy theorist because I believed in his worldview. Then I saw what it did to people.

> ...

> Shortly after Jones began selling the supplements, someone posted a video on YouTube holding a Geiger counter displaying high radiation readings on a beach in Half Moon Bay, Calif. The video went viral, stoking fears that radiation from Fukushima was drifting across the Pacific Ocean. Jones saw an opportunity and sent me, along with a reporter, a writer and another cameraman, to California. We had multiple Geiger counters shipped overnight, unaware of how to read or work them, and drove up the West Coast, frequently stopping to check radiation levels. Other than a small spike in Half Moon Bay — which the California Department of Public Health said was from naturally occurring radioactive materials, not Fukushima — we found nothing.

> Jones was furious. We started getting calls from the radio-show producers in the office, warning us to stop posting videos to YouTube stating we weren’t finding elevated levels of radiation. We couldn’t just stop, though; Jones demanded constant real-time content. On some of these calls, I could hear Jones screaming in the background. One of the producers told me they had never seen him so angry.
Can't wait for the 3D printed alternative. You'd probably be able to buy the printer and the feet+wheels for less.
I'm with you on the size, which is why I still have the SE myself.

It also bugs me that no one is showing a comparison of the new SE to the old SE, so here is an old article I found, 2nd photo is the 7 (5.5 in), 6 (4.7 in == new SE), and old SE (4 in).

https://www.imore.com/iphone-6s-vs-iphone-se-whats-different...

So the new SE is bigger, but still acceptably small for most people. It seems like Apple couldn't bring themselves to make it any smaller. And at this price with these features, it will be my next upgrade (in 2-3 years), and I predict it will sell like hot-cakes.
Thanks @zerzar. Unfortunately this changes for me, and I'd think for others, from week to week.
It's software RAID. RAID isn't a piece of hardware, it's a system design.
I'll tell you what amazes me: If you look at any reasonably large engineering organisation they will likely have guidance published from HR stating what the criteria are for different job roles, and they'll actually be pretty similar across different organisations.

You might be a Senior Software Engineer at one place but called a Staff engineer at another place, but they're broadly comparable, and the seniority criteria show a very clear progression: the more senior you get the more influence you are showing across the organisation, whether that means managing larger projects, mentoring other staff, consulting with other teams on best known practices, or influencing other parts of the company inter-discplinary projects.

Almost every large organisation will have a neat table telling you exactly what attributes you need to show. They all show that progression - more influence on the organisation as a whole.

And yet every single review cycle there's always a portion of engineers who think they deserve a promotion because their personal work was high quality. It's like they haven't read the job spec of the job they're applying for. It's amazing.
Here in Brazil, for whatever reason, the president has been talking up chloroquine, while Trumps talking point is hydroxychloroquine.

I don't know how people who have no medical training or experience who are actively trying to undermine their advisors with such experience determine which of these medicines they're going to place their bets on, but given the lack of good results in either, it seems like either bet is as bad as the other.
That is not the case for this study, see here for why:

* DS as a trope long predates T. I'm using it in a lighthearted way that isn't malicious and certainly not literal. It's
obviously not a claim that anyone is mentally ill. That's why the exaggeration is deliberately so silly.

I get your point, though, since as I'm always telling commenters, intent doesn't communicate itself on the internet and the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). In a case like this, though, I'm not sure that changing it is the best thing to do, because there's also a cost to the precedent that sets.
This cross led my mind when China was claiming there was no reason to stop international flights yet Chinese citizens were being jailed shut in their homes.

This is probably peak China.
I imagine this question would be sorted out by looking at the control group.
If they can reach some 95% recycling mark, that should be enough for them to be considered environmental. Which industry that you know of now is any more than 95% efficient in this regard?
You have to work hard at the right work.

Many people make the mistake of working like a donkey, or burrowing themselves as essential parts of some process.
10 Democrat reps for every 1 Republican, a 20% loss in the last presidential election, a sanctuary city and a Republican mayor.

That’s not a very red city or county in any sense of the phrase, it’s at best purple regardless of whether you’re comparing it to California, Californian cities, or cities in general.

Simply experiencing shades of red after an entire life spent in the bluest city in America can color one’s thinking, mind. I thought Houston of all places at the time was a very blue city when I first moved away from home.
I moved from a 6 to an 8 last fall. The newer processors, especially the jump with the 7, make HUGE performance improvements in every day tasks like loading emails, maps and web pages. I can imagine with this having a few generations newer than the 8 that you’d see even better performance.

It may feel like we’ve reached the point where mobile CPU performance shouldn’t matter, but I notice quite a bit less time spent waiting with the newer phones, which helps in not spending as much time on them.
I couldn't believe it was until mid january when China released the DNA Sequence : https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/01/china-re...

And samples didn't come till much much later.

Accusations like this are consipiracy-theory-level-of-evidence IMHO. A lot of circumstantial evidence but nothing damming.
>something that matters

The tech industry saved many lives during this pandemic. Compliance with social distancing standards would be way lower if people had nothing to do at home but watch TV. Even social media is showing its bright side. People are using it in more positive ways, connecting with each other and largely sharing quality information regarding Coronavirus. Life would have come to a halt without modern internet technology, almost warranting a calendar pause until the pandemic passes.

That being said, there's a lot of variability in the social value of tech industry jobs. At risk of being pedantic - you can net society more social good if you transition to a higher social value job within the same industry. It takes many years to become a doctor, and many people compete for that career so you wouldn't expand the supply of medical labor. Moreover, medical industry cronyism plays a part in bankrupting America with little to show for it. You should do what you want ultimately. I've just seen some people self-flagellate when they're actually doing really good things for society.
Cool, what was/is your handle?
Same boat as you, switched to android last year, atleast i will always have options in this side of the market.
I'm using GitLab.com (unless working with a client that uses an on-prem).

Yes, I mean I'm using the API, specifically the graphQL one because it was giving detail of pipelines better.

The last NAS/backups, I'm saying GitLab is better because it allows me to not be reliant on the ongoing subscription due to the on-prem / community edition (backing up the git repos is only half the story for a functional system).
One must live in the world as it is, not as we wish it would be. Thus we need to consider actions, words and results separately.
As always, "compared to what?". If non-homeless, demographically matched, are also around 35%, this might not mean much.
There are tech companies that only think they're doing good. But there are plenty that are doing good, and they would love your help.

By all means pursue things elsewhere, but not because you think there are no opportunities in tech.

So far I've heard of:

* Apartment List (13% per The Information)

* Carta (16% per The Information)

* Opendoor (35% per The Information)

Any others? Interesting that they were all announced on the same day, is it possible that there was some coordination, especially by VCs trying to staunch the blood loss within their portfolios?
Much of government, including elements somewhat more capable than the press, manages not to be absolutely partisan: police, military, courts, intelligence, inland revenue, the post office.
I had a similar shock, after 10 years as an analyst in the Marine Corps. It's a strange country we live in.
1. Not for coronaviruses.

2. They are known but they are by no means mild. A trial in Brazil just got aborted due to severe heart problems.

3. So does almost everything. If that's your threshold for taking a drug then I have a lot of homeopathic remedies to sell you!

4. Actually the doses given for COVID are often higher. Not sure what long-term has to do with anything.

5. That assumes that the risk of side effects is zero. It's not. Also, there is an opportunity cost to taking HCQ instead of something else.

I totally agree with you that we should do proper trials on this and see what happens. But right now there is zero evidence that it actually works, and some (admittedly low-quality) evidence that it might not.
Wonder if there are new cars with privacy features - like ability to limit or disable sending the data to third parties, or if there are services which retrofit cars with such features. Seems like a market exists for this.
I just bought a few lighting-to-3.5mm adapters and leave them permanently affixed to my various headphones. Seems like a simple fix, versus perpetually being upset that I can't use my headphones on my iPhone.
The examples of paid products you used to support your point are not very good. The PS4 console was sold at a loss and Spotify is barely profitable. In short, you might have paid for them, but neither company made money from you based purely on those purchases. Both companies perform data collection to guess what, generate more ad revenue (through lots of channels).
Depends on the program, but certainly. Don't expect finding a job with it will be easy and even if you do, don't expect the pay to be great.
This line of thinking is very dangerous. Essentially assuming maliciousness when incompetency can explain.

Edit #1: As I alluded elsewhere, I am seriously worried about the fallout of these type of thinking to Chinese people living in US. The whole propaganda between the China and US are silently escalating, with both side being unnecessarily sensitive to the other's inappropriate publicity.

Edit #2: The idea of exhausting all possibility is equivalent to propaganda fighting. The end result is just escalating insanity...

Edit #3: In the article:

> The mayor of Wuhan even suggested that the central government prevented him from revealing details about the epidemic until January 20.

The link provided is "http://finance.eastmoney.com/a/202001271368110820.html", and it's in Chinese. The pointer to which the conclusion "the central government prevented him from revealing details" is derived is not provided.

I am a native Chinese speaker, and I cannot find any statement revealing that from a quick browsing...

RegExp and DFAs are the same computation class, so it's useful sometimes to model them as each other.
Contour is not an API Gateway.

Disclaimer: I work for Solo.io

An API Gateway can do sophisticated edge security challenges (OIDC, Authz based on OPA, web app firewalling/WAF, etc) as well as things like message transformation, swagger/grpc detection, exposing APIs for self-service signup through a portal, etc. Gloo does all these things.

I've written in depth about this as well, specifically in terms of things like contour, Istio ingress gateway, consul's service mesh gateway, etc, etc

For reference, ~19% of people get the flu and are asymptomatic.

Source: https://www.contagionlive.com/news/asymptomatic-influenza-in...

> Study results revealed an overall pooled prevalence for asymptomatic carriers of 19.1% for any type of influenza, 21.0% for influenza A, and 22.7% for influenza A(H1N1). For subclinical carriers, the overall pooled prevalence of was found to be 43.4% for any type of influenza, 42.8% for influenza A, and 39.8% for influenza A(H1N1).
That can get pretty complicated for pages with a lot of dynamic elements. For example, if you submit a form and have to re-render the form with an error. All the hidden “ready to be inserted into the DOM” elements also need server side code to re-render things the same way. For pages with a lot of dynamic stuff, it might be better to just build it on the client side and use an API with server side validation on the server side.
Excellent points.

I would add: HCQ is most effective at the onset of symptoms. It stops the virus from replicating, it does not repair cell damage. Also, it must be used with zinc together, since HCQ opens the cells to absorb zinc and zinc must be present.
But antivirals tend to need to be given early to have a good effect. How will be know who is going to be severe?
Within 14 days, but most people where evacuated to different countries almost immediately after infection. So, it took longer to gather the data on that population.
It's great to hear you've had a good experience with the GitLab for Open Source Gold license. I'm the new Sr. Open Source Program Manager at GitLab and I'm helping to revamp the program and also want to find new ways to make GitLab even more value for open source projects and orgs.

As a program manager, I'm personally really excited about this year's plans to build out more of GitLab's project management features. I think that once we're able to be more competitive with tools like Jira it will help create more buy-in at companies to adopt a single platform. Let's hope!

Thank you for advocating for GitLab among your spheres of influence, and for being part of the GitLab community! We appreciate it!
I've entertained very similar ideas myself. It's one of those things I often revisit -- wondering if I had made the right career choice. I love being an engineer and have been very lucky in being financially rewarded for doing something that I love. But whenever a startup I'm at fails or I feel my career is at a standstill, the things that's given me joy during those times are the times I've spent helping others outside of my career. I think it's because acts of kindness and generosity are meaningful in and of themselves whereas a career in engineering might make sense in the end or maybe not.

A good friend of mine actually had a great career in software but decided that to become a nurse in the time he has left on earth. He and his wife both decided to go to nursing school and were definitely the oldest students. They are both now nurses and seem very happy.
I do love the fact that emacs runs on a TTY, though. It means that useful programs in emacs are useful TTY programs. For instance, the ebook reader, nov.el, is the best available epub reader for the TTY right now. It would be awful to lose that.
