I just don't know what to do with statements like these. If you truly believe that there is never any grounds for a health-related quarantine, then I don't think you're going to be able to have a productive discussion on this with most people here; your fundamental beliefs are just too far outside the norm (and outside reality, but that's another issue).

It seems like you've essentially given up on the idea of freedom and separation of powers. Perhaps that would yield a better pandemic response (though that depends on the competency of the federal government), but I'm not sure it's worth the cost.

We're talking about forcibly keeping everyone in the country out of church. It's pretty disturbing to give that power to government, even temporarily. How long before it gets applied to other situations after the pandemic dies down?

What's to stop the president in 2030 from saying: "We're facing an epidemic of terrorism by [whoever] so we're keeping them from gathering in public."

Or: "There's an epidemic of [some crime] that uses the internet. We need to control it."
Same for Australia. You need your government to protect you from this kind of terrible behaviour.

The parent comment was presenting one possible reason to explain the grandparent's observation. They were not trying to perfectly describe the real world, but only to point out that two seemingly conflicting points of view can be reconciled. I think the parent probably wrote their comment starting with the same thought as you: that the real world is more complex than a simply stated opinion.

Saying "your analysis is bad and wrong." comes off as dismissive and I think you should read the HN Guidelines.
Years ago, I was working on an idea and interviewed venue owners to understand what gaps their were. At the time, Ticketmaster gave them the cc processing equipment for free and took a smaller % in exchange for exclusivity for years at a time. After hearing that dozens of times at big and small venues, I moved onto another idea.

Look at the Netherlands and Belgium screaming at each other and threatening to close borders because one felt the other had too little restrictions.

Let’s just say it’s very much bad for your neighborhood of states to have that kind of situation. Closing borders or having diplomatic disasters isn’t worth it. It’s better to reach a common decision.

Yeah, the title is 100% goofy. It's almost anti-clickbait because some people will (rightfully) dismiss it out of hand.

That being said, if you turn on strict everything in typescript and use type guards instead of just casting/asserting around type ambiguity, you avoid that entire class of incorrect typing errors (at the cost of having to really learn the TS type system).

This doesn't reduce your testing load to zero (or even near it) but IME it takes a big chunk out and reduces your "dumb bug" count significantly.
Except, in the real world there's more than just A) unknown snake oil and B) high quality products with perfect awareness.

Your model only includes products on the narrows of each extreme. In the middle is the wide spectrum of most products...the ones that don't meet either description.

Even if you make the exact same product as a competitor, there is no prisoner's dilemma if you're targeting a different niche market to sell that product to. Perfect competition does not exist in the real world. The only thing that comes close might be a commodity like oil or water. But even water can be targeted to different segments of the market.
Class action lawsuits are just another method of regulatory capture. The settlement from the last Ticketbastard class action was a $2 discount on expedited shipping and a voucher for a free show of your choice, to be chosen from an empty list.

Just as Uber doesn't provide transport, Ticketmaster doesn't sell tickets. They characterize themselves a broker, someone facilitating sales between "Event Providers" and customers. They will pass the responsibility to concert organizers.

A lawyer would describe most "Event Providers" as judgment proof, ie too poor to be worth a lawsuit. These aren't the rockstars nor their touring companies. The event provider is the local organization who rents the venue and manages the individual concert. They are all currently shut down, employees laid off, and are likely talking to bankruptcy experts.

For example: Vancouver just cancelled its jazz festival. That festival's "event organizer" is the "Coastal Jazz & Blues Society" ... a listed non-profit. There is no blood in that stone.

> OTOH, pacts like the popular vote compact signed by some states in the past few years is almost certainly unconstitutional.

Why would that be the case? Electors are not bound by any particular (federal) rules in how they cast their votes. If we look at the popular vote compact as a friendly handshake agreement (to which electors are not legally bound), they are free to fulfill the handshake agreement and vote along with the national popular vote.

Of course, if a signatory decides last-minute to betray that agreement, there perhaps would be no legal remedy.

That situation seems to be the case already - Professional YouTubers are the ones pulling in big view counts and so receiving the lion's share of the revenue. Yet there are millions of tiny contributors doing it for non-monetary reasons.

This situation is also true on Twitch. For every big streamer pulling >1k viewers per stream, there's thousands of small streamers with <10.

Youtube has already made a token effort to mimicing this with the 'join' button, but right now that more patron-centric revenue model looks to be a short- and medium-term winning formula. Youtube would likely benefit from pursuing it.

Yeah, the west coast's virus outbreak is primarily traced to European sources, the bigger east coast one probably more so (but idk the data to support that). The China travel ban was not an effective measure of control, and experts knew that it wouldn't be. So either (1) whoever did it didn't listen to their experts or (2) it was intended to punish China, not as an effective measure of control.
Yes, I just shared this tidbit as I thought it might be helpful.

For most people, chargebacks are probably the best recourse. I've already initiated one for a festival I was supposed to attend later this spring which was cancelled outright with no refunds offered.
A lot of the other responses here are too complicated and specific. Here's my attempt to put it into easier-to-digest terms:

In a traditional web stack you have a backend and a frontend. The frontend is the stuff the browser runs, and, simplifying a bit, the backend is everything else.

Ethereum smart contracts basically let you replace your backend logic and database with code that runs on the Ethereum blockchain network. Depending on your application can decide to run only a few parts of your backend on Ethereum, or the entire backend.

It's very slow when compared to traditional backends like nodejs, etc, but it has the benefits of censorship resistance and excellent availability. Better still, you don't need to run or maintain servers to support it if you don't want to (although there are benefits to doing so).

In this case, they're using Ethereum's replacement for DNS, ENS.

People have been doing this for a long time. My team uses Puppet & and Ansible to manage Linux user workstations for our university, and the Windows team uses SCCM + other Windows tools. A big reason why we've stuck with Puppet is is it's flexible enough to manage internal systems + and user workstations fairly well, with a lot of the code being shared with all systems Linux/Unix systems we manage.

The conditions were different in almost every way.

True, we have another egomaniacal, racist, populist President who pretends to understand economics and business. Hopefully history will remember Trump more accurately than Lincoln.

But very little else is similar in these scenarios. Perhaps most importantly, we have the internet now, so the very need for a central government in our daily lives is substantially decreased.

And even if the conditions were similar, it's a sufficiently complex situation that merely noting the similarity isn't enough to suppose that war is likely (let alone inevitable) in such a scenario.
Brace expansion doesn't fall under pathname expansion. There is no expectation that the resulting expansion will correspond to files. From `man bash`:

> Expansion is performed on the command line after it has been split into words. There are seven kinds of expansion performed: brace expansion, tilde expansion, parameter and variable expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, word splitting, and pathname expansion.

That's not to say it's POSIX-compliant--I have no idea whether it is. But it definitely isn't grouped in with pathname expansion. bash does have an option to disable brace expansion, but it's not toggled by `--posix`, which leads me to believe it might be POSIX-compliant.
This works for me, my Pi has a little script to get public IP and update DNS. The rare IP switch at home is updated in 10 minutes. Bonus the endpoint is in my domain.
I think you're right about that for determinism, but the acceptance of intuitionist math requires a different epistemology. It is literally a different set of assumptions on what is knowable and what is true.

The interesting thing about Ebola is that b/c its symptoms are so horrible and fatality rate so high (50%), people treated it much more seriously, therefore helping to contain it. COVID-19's asymptomatic nature is a curse in this way, leading to many more deaths.
Genuine question - how available is home phone service and DSL internet in that area? Email, and ability to load some official websites is the critical service, which doesn't need to be that fast.

> Should my ability to keep my home be contingent on my phone service?

No, ideally not just on phone service. But on something digital that is free and doesn't require any effort to keep it live over an extended period of time (perhaps email). This kind of thing is exactly my point though, should your ability to participate in society be contingent on living in one place for a prolonged period of time? When I was younger I knew a lot of people that would bum around for a while, travel, crash on friends couches, etc. I remember multiple friends who had a relatively small bill get sent to collections and ruin their credit for the next 7 years because the service had an old address on file. It seems crazy to me that this can happen, that you'd just be sent a few pieces of paper of which it can never be verified that you've actually received them, and no one ever needs to make an effort to call or email you, and then that ruins your credit. And these people were relatively well off and overall pretty responsible in the scheme of things, I can only imagine this type of thing must also screw over chronically poor people all the time.

> killing it in the middle of a crisis for stupid political reasons is not a strategy

100% agree with that, I've just wondered a for a long time why so many official things still done primarily through mail. In my opinion it's worth at least having a public discussion about why things are even still done this way, and therefore whether we still actually need the USPS. But it seems that even on this tech website most people don't agree.

I do appreciate your comment, ultimately it seems like these arguments fall along a very stark a rural/urban divide. I'm so used to living in cities that it's just ingrained in my mind that housing and something like a physical address is a premium and scarce resource and anything digital can be much more freely available and unconstrained. It's hard to even fathom that in some people's reality it is the opposite (and even after reading your arguments, I'm still skeptical to what extent that is the case).

Windows as a porting target for desktop applications. I've written a few for work (using PyQt5), and about 10% of my effort typically goes into getting the application working on Linux. The other 90% goes into wrestling with Windows doing everything in its power to fucking ruin my week.

Fman Build System (fbs) helps quite a bit, I've found, but there are still more often than not some really annoying rough edges (not to mention that Windows' file access performance is abysmal, so startup times for a PyQt5 app are anywhere from multiple seconds to a full minute on Windows v. instantaneous on Linux).

I've been looking into .NET Core w/ Avalonia as a potential replacement, both because it's easier to cross-compile and because hopefully being more designed-for-Windows will make it less of a royal pain in the ass. Not being subject to the GNU GPL is a nice bonus (for internal stuff this ain't much of a problem, but I generally prefer my FOSS projects to be as compatible with as many other FOSS projects as possible; I'd rather proprietary software be able to "steal" my work than prevent non-GPL FOSS projects from being able to incorporate it).

The current administration is only pro-state inasmuch as it allows Trump to disclaim responsibility for failures while taking credit for successes.

For example, he knew that getting hold of medical supplies and PPE would be difficult, and that the federal government would fail at it, so he put it in the states' hands. He didn't want to be blamed for shutting down the economy and forcing people to isolate themselves, so he allowed the states to decide. But now he wants us to believe that the "heroic" decision to open things back up again will be his, and his alone.
18 MHz, actually -- the FPGA clock speed is 73 MHz, but it executes the equivalent of one 6502 clock cycle in four of its clocks.

That being said, this was implemented on a budget-line FPGA from 2006 (XC3S50A - a small Xilinx Spartan-3A). A modern performance-line FPGA would probably hit a couple hundred MHz easily.
I don't want to get into a big thing, but I take issue with the idea that this was the motivation for support (in the Union government) for the war.

We remember Lincoln as an emancipator, but his words and actions don't support that. He was an advocate of institutional racism and drove away the people who actually wanted to end slavery, whether in peace or by war. He spent much more time discussing and devising his plan to deport and colonize all black people than he ever did working to end slavery.

I believe that our country missed a great opportunity to take an actual abolitionist position, which was being articulately and powerfully communicated by plenty of leaders who worked in better faith than the government ultimately did. I also believe that this missed opportunity is a substantial part of the reason that we still endure slavery today under the guise of a criminal justice system.
When statically linking the linker can exclude functions that aren't referenced (directly or indirectly) by the main application. For something like libc or, especially, the C++ standard library many and often even most routines can be excluded.

OTOH, container images seem to be bloated by unused binaries and completely unused libraries, not unused functions in shared libraries.
