I was wondering about this. Does LLVM offer facilities expressive enough to model things like self-modification and arbitrary interruptability?

I agree it'd be wonderful to see auto-vectorization! Obviously, 6502 code does things 1 byte at a time so even adding 32-bit integers is painful. Auto-upgrade of those loops to 32-bit variants would be amazing.
Highly unlikely. Republicans are for state's rights, and the current president and administration seems especially in favor of it. He basically told the states to get their acts together and put the feds into a mainly supportive role, which is as it should be.
AFAIU whether the agreement is expressly legally binding is not dispositive. See, e.g., https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/sec.... Thus even if it's likely to pass muster (and I'm sure it was drafted with that in mind) there still could be colorable arguments that permit a legitimate challenge, especially if politically expedient. But I'm not that familiar with this area of law so I welcome corrections accompanied with citations.
The last time that happened, it started a civil war.

You begin your comment with this thesis, but without explanation.

I think secession, in my lifetime, is likely. I think civil war is vanishingly unlikely.
Not sure if this is correct but my hypothesis is that the difference between those threads is that in

A. They are thinking of what they consider an average user (most likely stupid, blissfully unaware of tracking and how companies are controlling him) whilst using ad blockers themselves or relative strong measures to avoid tracking.

B. They are thinking of themselves as the customer to some extent and knowing that they don't ever click on ads as often, it's most likely wasted money.

Again, I am not completely sure but it feels like the person is thinking of different subject in A and B when analysing.

C. It could be that the plan is to make Google look evil in both cases. By robbing both you and companies out of their money and data.

It means these states will together decide when to reopen. A task force would provide that bureaucratic waste. What is the advantage of Oregon having more data to decide to reopen a week before California. The value of them standing together gives poltical shielding against a national government. They speak for the entire west coast. I wonder if other regions will do the same. Mountain states, Northern states, the South as a group wouldn't do this which would group them by subtraction.
They actually didn't though. The only thing I can find negative on Trump's travel ban is an independent opinion piece on NyT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/opinion/china-travel-coro... (2/5/20)

And even then, the criticism was of the form:

> Valid arguments may exist for shutting down the world to travelers originating in China — and shutting down China to the world — as a reasonable public health response. But the World Health Organization explicitly did not advise that any restriction of trade or travel was necessary when it declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern last week, and it still doesn’t. Instead, it has called for exit screening in international airports and domestic hubs in China.

What Trump did get a lot of flack on was travel banning countries like Nigeria at the same time, completely unrelated to the coronavirus:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/opinion/trump-travel-ban-...

Trump and his supporters have made up much of this narrative on their own without any actual action on the left, e.g. see:

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/27/donald-tru...
And I suppose I don't consider it fear mongering because I use the term when someone in the media is saying "X is going to happen," while X is exceedingly unlikely to happen, and it is of negligible risk to their audience. I don't think that is the case with this article; there is no discussion of grocery shut down, but rather reporting the effect it has had on the workers, including poor treatment from management.

I am less concerned with panic. I think the greater danger now is people not taking Covid-19 seriously enough. Ironically, the not-wanting-to-cause-panic sentiment was what some grocery store management cited as a reason employees could not wear masks, as reported in the article.

I have no idea how that's the conclusion you drew from GP, can you elaborate?
This comment thread is one long chain of "the federal government has failed us", "Trump has failed us", etc.

Can one of you actually provide some rationale for why you think that? Do you just have no context on the State/Fed divide? Do you think that because everybody else is saying that, or because mass media is saying that, but don't actually have any facts to back it up?

Seriously, what do you expect Trump to do? What would you have him do? He didn't sneak into CDC labs and botch the first round of tests. He can't just snap his fingers and will millions of pounds of PPE into existence, he's not even the person actually coordinating any of this stuff and trying to get things done, he's just a figurehead.

If Trump did try to go to any greater lengths, the House would just scream that he was abusing his powers and try to Impeach him again.

Please explain your reasoning, I'm getting so tired of it, I'm convinced it's just partisan-driven mass hysteria combined with mass propaganda at this point. Don't like me to opinion pieces of somebody giving their opinion about how horrible Trump is. Link me to data, and tell me facts about what you would want him to do differently.
You mean a 'mini-alliance' right? Because the 10th amendment has made the states 'mini-countries' since 1787.
> You're talking nuclear missiles or chemical weapons fired against San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Seattle from land-based silos in the Dakotas.

This is pretty unlikely, if only because the fallout from nuclear weapons launched at the West Coast will blow back over the rest of the country, including over the regions that launch the missiles themselves. There's a reason short-range and battlefield nukes were never used in anger and it has nothing to do with morals.

The rest of your point stands. From a global perspective, a break-up of the U.S. is a very bad thing. Aside from the potential civil war here, it also means open-season on any countries that are basically U.S. protectorates (Taiwan, Japan, Israel, and much of Europe are toast); it hands global leadership over to China; it means financial chaos; and it could result in famines and food instability throughout the world (the U.S. is a major food exporter).
I'm fairly certain that Constitutional speaking "interstate commerce" can only be regulated by the federal government. The free movement of people may not be commerce per se, but it is inextricably linked.

In realpolitik terms, I doubt the federal government can stop this. What are they going to do? Send the army to force states to accept potentially infected people? That's basically an order to go kill your countrymen. I'd hope, given such an order, much of the military would defect.

> Protecting the general public by ensuring any successful lifting of interventions includes the development of a system for testing, tracking and isolating. The states will work together to share best practices.

If there is a reasonable expectation of that happening in the next couple of weeks, then ok. If this is just "hope", then we should end the lockdown and let the flu run its course, like every year.

The overall mortality rate is about 2%, which may be unavoidable in the US even with social distancing, since I don't see any way for the US to emulate S. Korea's testing and tracing success.

Does anybody have any logical reason for thinking that the US can copy S. Korea?

Does the US have any way to do up to 600 million tests per week and see the result in an hour?
I believe function coloring has never been about syntax but about semantics. It's not possible to yield while waiting for an async function to resolve without being async yourself. And if you have a choice between an async and a sync function that you could call from your async function, you should prefer to call the async one to avoid stalling whatever executor is driving your function.

Zig isn't avoiding it; it's impossible to avoid. Zig is just inferring the async-ness of the function automatically without you needing to write a keyword for it.
I've heard from some large event organizers that EventBrite is taking similar measures: delaying payouts to event organizers until the event has concluded.

As a European I’d think you’d appreciate the point he’s making. This is analogous to Spain and Portugal deciding on a joint Iberian policy between the two of them instead of trying to go to the EU and haggle it out with Hungary and Sweden.
We can have a peaceful secession.

In many ways we've seceded from each other already. I, for one, live in a blue state but find it harder and harder to cope with life here from a cultural and political standpoint.

Secession may be the only peaceful way forward.

Yes. Early in the outbreak, several of the western states including Washington asked for full FEMA aid but received nothing except some disaster counseling aid, while Florida received huge shipments of medical supplies. Trump as much as said he was waiting for Governor Jay Inslee of Washington to say something nice about him before opening up aid to Washington, which is unconscionable.

We seem to be doing just fine here without the Federal Government. In fact we've sent 400 ventilators back to the national stockpile and we also returned the Army hospital that was established at Safeco Field back because we didn't need the capacity. Trump did eventually authorize FEMA to pay for the National Guard response here.
I don’t see how not having states would change that.

We have a federal government that has the power to take action. Republicans are stopping that from happening and so some states are choosing to fix it for themselves.

You get what you vote for.
So we're going to need a new name for this future sovereignty. Sierra Cascadia? New Pacifica?
My Twitter timeline was full of people claiming xenophobia and racism for most of February and some of March, some with claims he was distracting from his impeachment.

There was a coordinated effort by some jouralists to smear Trump as xenophobic and racist for what he was trying to do. Today they're saying he didn't do enough. There were many stories that were essentially down playing the virus and dog whistling to readers about Trump being a racist/xenophobic for his early actions.

The question to reconcile in my mind: Malleable systems with reproducable builds.

It's very easy to get your hands dirty with the bytes and add various assumptions and dependencies. Most "hack solutions" go in that direction. But reproducing the modification in some larger context changes the assumption: What if the dependency isn't there?

What tends to make the system stable over the long term is the thematic assumptions: Certain broad goals that never shift, even as the specification does. I think that's the factor missing from having malleability itself as a goal. You already have it, that's software.

I think so! I do think more people should try to build their own thing and monetize it.

But then I also have to add there is probability involved in here. I'm rational enough to understand it's a probability equation of who actually makes it to the other side and can sustainably pay their bills with something they made for a long period of time. Most fail, some do okay and a few do really well.
Waiting for the announcement of the formation of the 'Confederacy of Southern States' (I don't believe for a moment that Trump and the Republicans would hesitate to seize the opportunity and claim that it's simply 'parity'). In these times of hyper-partisanship, in the midst of a global pandemic, on the tip of a great recession or depression with untold economic hardship; I shudder at the potential for what politically aligned states banding together could lead to.

I hope I am overreacting, but my parameters for what I used to consider normal and possible have been shifted significantly and there seems to have formed a great open space of terrible possibility to be filled.

Again, kava isn't unlawful. It's a food product. The UK law says it is illegal to import kava for consumption, and illegal to trade in it in the UK.

TransferWise is neither trading in kava, nor importing it into the UK.

I play overwatch (it’s hard in the beginning as you figure out maps and hero’s, and the odd toxic player). Overwatch is great for short play sessions though you are not guaranteed to finish feeling good, matchmaking and player role selection add a level of frustration. i end with Widowmaker or Reaper who on certain maps is a bit overpowered. pokemongo, legend of Zelda, breath of the wild and recently Animal Crossing. Personally I found it hard to get into Pokemongo and made it because my daily dogwalks pass through a few gyms and stops which helps and I built up a friend list. With lockdown it’s been harder to play but I’ve developed a few teams in the battle league and that’s quite fun. I don’t play everyday none of these games are addictive but they are fun for me and they all reward regular long term play. I hate casino style games (pay to progress micro transactions many of these on iPad now). Also hate games that are built around grinding.
Just let everyone get it. Problem solved.
Yes it has been privatised but there is basically only one postal service (PostNL). The other one (Sandd) only exists because when PostNL was privatised they weren't allowed to monopolize.

Because mail has been so drastically reduced in the last years due to digitalisation of banking and Government, PostNL has trouble staying profitable so recently this monopoly limit has been removed again to allow of a fusion of Sandd and PostNL.
Thanks! I do agree, we all need something during this challenging times to be reminded who we are the core and that thins will be okay again.

Ask HN: What is up with all the sextortion emails?
I received two emails with actual, although old passwords claiming to have been extracted from porn websites with malware and, in doing so, the scammer claimed to have recorded me doing "dirty stuff" in split screen, asking for 1800 dollars in a bitcoin wallet.

I was talking to coworkers and many have claimed to have received these emails as well.

We were all cool with it, but I can see people actually freaking out about it.

It has been covered on krebsonsecurity in 2018, but these seem to have resurfaced: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/07/sextortion-scam-uses-recipients-hacked-passwords/

Has anybody received those emails recently? What can we do to protect those close to us against these attacks?
Your negative karma indicates that most people disagree. Please come back with a real account and let us have a healthy debate. This is an interesting topic and is worth discussion.

Well, if the federal government blocks you from using the NG to protect your states, then perhaps your state should... I don't know. Form a militia, and protect itself! Perhaps it could even seize the equipment from the National Guard in a mini-revolution!

It's almost like the constitution was written to enable these things to happen, and prevent a corrupt and/or inept leader from forcing a one-size-fits-all solution on the nation!
This is all 100% political. The only reason they are doing this is to preempt President Trump's announcement tomorrow about the formation of a committee to get this going. Anytime they say it's not political, that is 100% what it is.

Legally, is this possible in the US?

Great question.

The Constitution is very clear that ultimate authority about Interstate Commerce belongs to Congress. States cannot bar travel from other states.

HOWEVER there is legislation enabling states to impose quarantines on people coming from other states. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/10/travel/coronavirus-us-tra... has information about such quarantine rules currently in place.

So stop travel, no. Make it difficult, we're going to see a lot of that.
It's simple to establish that rural delivery has a higher cost to the USPS than city delivery does. As you've pointed out, cutting delivery days to rural citizens also bears a high cost in the view of those with diminished service.

It seems the exceedingly sensible thing to do would simply be for the government to subsidize delivery to the costliest areas. Unfortunately that would mean taxpayer dollars supporting the USPS and that's an idea that's seemingly untenable to rural communities.

Hopefully a solution can be found in all of this. I certainly can't see one, but I'm hopeful that it'll find a way.
Quarantining is a fancy word for arrest, with zero cause. There were no "tests" at the time.

And finally, thankfully, it is illegal to refuse an American citizen entry to the United States.
HN has this conversation about web services all the time. "I'm tired of seeing ads" -> "Somebody has to pay server costs, would you prefer all content be paywalled?" -> "Someone should implement a micropayment system so we can all support these things collectively."

Only here we already have the centralized payment system in the form of taxes, but it turns out when you use that to subsidize USPS operations everyone still complains.
