This argument seals the deal. The probability of getting that just right is vanishingly small.
It is a bit suspect, likely for the reasons you suggest. I can imagine that large caches of CP media does get transferred some portion of the time, which might be inflating the numbers.
Are you suggesting that regularly being impacted by outbreaks is, on average, beneficial to a population? This seems far fetched.

There certainly are ways to teach the correct response to an outbreak, other than killing 1% of the population.
I use Todoist to keep track of tasks and projects. Checkout the book "Getting Things Done" or search for GTD on the web, plenty of tools. There's also free Kanban boards on the web. Software projects get a GitHub account.

observe that log10(125) = log10(100) + log10(1.25)

log10(100) = 2

log10(1.25) = log(1 + 0.25) / log(10) ~ 0.25 / log(10) < 0.25 / 2 = 0.125

Thus log10(125) ~ 2.12 but probably a little less.

So there is potentially a simpler fix than the Rytter correction, is that also yet to discover in published papers somewhere, or do we need to ask Knuth himself?
Thanks for this. I've used kanban.bash [0] but I'm not married to it. I'll have to try clikan soon. I did make a slight modification to kanban.bash so that I could have a kanban board per directory/project [1].

Since you built your product based on another vendor's platform, are you concerned that they might cut off access? Do you have any contingency plans for that?
But the protocol says that they are case-insensitive! is not a good response to the assertion that machine-to-machine protocols should not be case-insensitive, which is what theamk said.
I don't know about the US, but usually getting pneumonia here (in normal non epidemic-conditions) gets you at least a visit to the hospital if not straight up hospitalization.
> I think what's becoming clear in this discussion is that there are some developers (myself definitely included) who would like to use SQL as an interface to plain programming structures outside of actual databases.

Myself included too. As a side project, I'm currently writing a game (roguelike), where all the game state that would ordinarily be put into an ECS or an object tree is instead stored in in-memory SQLite instance; the game's state management consists of (currently hand-written) SQL queries.

The reason for that is because, in trying to implement yet another version of an ECS-like architecture, I realize I'm essentially reinventing database queries and database indices, so I might as well use the real thing.
Just because you have a poisoned view of javascript doesn't mean that everything bad has something to do with javascript. In this case JWT was designed by a C# developer at Microsoft. Maybe you can shift gears to whining about .NET in every thread now?

Oh hey look, he standardised POSIX threads. maybe everything bad is from POSIX?

Understood. So why hasn't Apple done something about this earlier? IOW, a setting that charges the battery to a maximum of 80% when plugged in?
PayPal also happens to have a return shipping protection for buyers, which covers the return shipping costs even when the merchant does not.

You're probably referring to PayPal disputes, but PayPal also covers merchants from chargebacks (even if the chargebacks themselves are won by the buyer), when a physical product is shipped.

So it seems like they must eat a lot of the fees because in the case of the credit card dispute PayPal is eating the charge if they do Seller Protection.

Somehow they do all this while offering standard credit card rates, so I think they're heavily undervalued by startups.
Connect CandidateZip – Resume Data Extraction Tool and BambooHR in Minutes
Such a bizarre practice. Demand on the weekends is highest and logically the parking fees should be highest, not zero.

I'm not one from whom to take advice on the subject, though. I think roads are for driving and parking on them is perverse and I refuse to live anywhere crowded enough to have a bus system.
Do any HN readers have recommendations for Solarpunk novels?
Just as one data point, the captain of the ship raised alarms about the virus spreading late last month. So it’s not exactly a recent outbreak.

Of course, without testing from that period it’s impossible to know.
Thanks for the interesting source material.

It appears that the case in question has not yet been definitively resolved, though, and the argument made would contradict almost everything many employment lawyers have been advising for a long time about the implications of the ERA in this area. Notably, that includes a lot of advice given during the previous financial crisis just over a decade ago, when similar questions were widespread.

The conventional legal wisdom seems to have been that mandating a pay cut is not allowed, because it's not a permitted deduction from wages and it's likely a breach of contract, and that firing someone just for refusing is not allowed either, because any decisions about who to let go if the business is in financial trouble are a separate matter that should be made objectively. That would mean without reference to the refusal by any given employee to accept worse terms of employment, and without conflating a position that might now be redundant with any employee currently holding that position who might also be able to work elsewhere in the business instead.
would have loved to see raid-Z in this test.

So you have a dream. You've always had a dream.

You want to start a company, you know what you want to make, to provide.

You've been itching to do this for years.

You think, "I can only do this with someone I know incredibly well, who has the right personality traits and skills".

What are you going to do with your dream if you don't know anyone like that?

There's nothing trivial about being "drop-in". Usually these are complex apps running on traditional web frameworks and/or use server-side rendered pages where Vue excels in adding front-end interactivity because it uses HTML templates by default (with that HTML coming from the server).

At time of testing. Most of these showed symptoms later on.

That's not enough to estimate how that affects the spread of the disease however. What's interesting is how contagious {a,pre}symptomatic people are.

They are probably less contagious than people who developed symptoms, but just how much remains to be seen.

Think of the children! ...

Don't let them grow up in a police state where the government spies on their conversations and whereabouts, forever.

On the other hand, _do_ enact universal healthcare in the US, so that they get decent medical care when they're sick. But as we all know - Mrs. Feinstein is definitely _against_ that.
If the full charge is less than 80% of design capacity before 1000 cycles the battery is defective according to Apple.

You should be able to get it replaced for free, imho, but I suppose that depends on local regulations and if you have Apple Care or not.
So? That doesn’t change that their hospitals are being completely ddos’ed

I have a thinkpad t460p, it has a 45w cpu and stays quiet under load, even after years of use. It is two times as thick as a macbook pro. Newer thinkpads are thinner and louder.

Non-removable just means it's soldered down. Open a phone and you will see that the batteries certainly have just the kind of plastic shell that they always had.
I remember a theory (and I’ve no idea if it’s archaeologically verified) that the level for the pyramids was formed by building a wall around the general area. You then flood this with water and wait for it to evaporate / leak out. As the water recedes, every time a piece of land emerges get a squad of slaves to dig it down and level it out. Eventually you end up with a flat plain.
Eh - the UN doesn't really have a good track record with things like this. See the ITU as an example.
Interesting. My 180 would not run without the battery.
A Scot chief engineer I once worked with claimed you only needed four words in your vocabulary to keep up conversation with a true Scotsman - Aye, Nay, Fook, Shite; if you'd been to university, you could expand your vocabulary with Bastid, too.

Userscripts are great. I'm using it mainly for adjusting page styles (similar to Stylish[1]). I'm reading this very HN page in my custom dark mode. But I've also created some behavior-altering or automation scripts, some of them being open-source [2]. Adding a "@downloadURL" attribute makes it possible to sync the scripts easily across all devices (and users). Userscripts was also my main reason for switching to Firefox, because the mobile version supports Addons.

> Thus our universe has to be "fine-tuned" for us to exist because we do.

Because we of course do not exist in this universe because we're fine tuned to exist in it.

I can't think of a better way to describe it than the late Douglas Adams did :

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

It could just be me, but this article:

1. Describes a simplified analogy to the Connes conjecture. The analogical conjecture is obviously false. ("The average temperature over some portion of the earth's surface must necessarily approximate the actual temperature at each point within the portion, with bounded error." That can't be true, because while modifying a single point affects the average temperature, you can modify a set of multiple points, including any arbitrary increase or decrease to one of those points, without affecting the average at all. Thus, there is no bound on the deviation between the temperature at an individual point and the average temperature over every point.)

2. Goes on at length about how everyone just assumed the Connes conjecture would turn out to be true, and they've all been blindsided by a proof that it isn't.

I really would have liked a discussion of why people assumed the conjecture must be true, given that the only analogy presented was obviously not true.
I'm not an iPhone user, so maybe I am wrong about this. But I would expect my phone to give me a warning when it is about 3 minutes before shutdown. This way I still have a reasonable amount of time to bring whatever I am doing at the moment into a graceful stop.
Perhaps they can't get statistical significance. You'd ballpark a 0.5% infection rate in the Bay Area going by deaths and current best guesses for IFR. Your false positive rate might exceed that.

These tests are better done in highly infected areas like NYC.

What do you mean by that?
Nice fix! It's been a while since I've done c++ so does the following code

const auto elapsed = steady_clock::now() - start;
if (elapsed > 10s) {

actually use a units quantifier on the 10, i.e. does 10s mean 10 seconds? Is that a library thing? Cool if so.
dude, instead of bitching, fix it
This does not work for SW. No matter how long they tried quality programs are very very rare.
If you pare it back to the basics; the government has two actual powers:

1) Send in the police and have people imprisoned
2) Send in the army and have people killed

In practice they have a lot of much softer options because they leverage the basic powers into more subtle ones, but government is fundamentally about who controls the army and the police. Feinstien, like all people in the US Congress, has made decisions that ultimately involve some really, truly horrible outcomes for other people. She lives in a world where horrible things do have to happen sometimes to keep order, even in the more optimistic models of government.

It is unlikely, so say the least, that the implications around civil liberties escape any long-serving politician. The enforcement of laws necessarily sits on the edge of abusing civil liberties. It is more likely she just doesn't want to talk about that.
I imagine Amazon will do well in some areas (consumers) initially, but overall will see a drop in demand as the crisis really bites - businesses have stopped ordering, and consumers will stop ordering soon to save money. It will be interesting to see how this plays out but I think US markets are far too optimistic at present, and this is going to have a very large impact economically, because it won't be over as soon as say Trump hopes, and premature attempts to reopen will be disastrous.

Strangely enough I think the disease and its impacts will have far less impact on our behaviour than the economic impact of mass layoffs and shuttering the world economy for months. I don't think we've ever seen a drop in consumption of this magnitude and the road back to normality will be slow.
I think the problem is more about how this will change peoples behavior. See xbkingx's comment above. It's the same problem that football players have when compared to rugby players; they think they are safer because they have greater protection, so they take greater risks.

Before buying Hero 7, I watched a lot of reviews and tried to decide between older but still powerful Sony action camera. The quality was great, but sometimes GoPro decided to freeze. It is very annoying to find that your camera stopped recording 20 minutes ago. I thought that my model might be just a bit faulty.
Then comes the GoPro 8, and the improvement noted by few tech reviewers was that it no longer freezes. Totally destroyed any trust in reviewers I had left. No one told a thing about freezes in Hero 7.
I believe macOS already does this. Not down to 80%, but sometimes when it shows 100% and you check the battery info, it shows that it is actually still charging.

I'm not really surprised, but the human process around this is designed to catch such failures, and react to them.

Most complex systems are at least somewhat brittle, brittle can be okay so long as the human process around it is designed to deal with that brittleness.
well in fairness the hyperlapse feature they released a few years back was fairly innovative. and the stablisation was/is better than your find in some phones.

but yea apart from that, most models seem pretty much the same to me
El Salvador, it is not exactly illegal, you get thrown into a quarantine center for 30 days if you're not outside for anything but essential needs or your job (if you are an essential worker), I do think it's for the best for now, most people would simply not understand how bad it could get otherwise, our country does not have the resources to handle this disease if it gets out of hand, it is a slippery slope though

This is where GraphQL shines. You give your developer a schema and "they" choose the queries and mutations they want to make to make their life easy. Also, there's very less friction because the GraphQL schema can be completely documented.

And while going to prod, you just allow the queries that are being used, disable rest.
