Used Adguard for about 2.5 years, and literally switched to NextDNS yesterday after reading this article. I've got a blog post about DNS ad-blocking [0], updating stuff now and then. I hope it points out some of the different features and reasons to use one over the other. Let me know what you think!

Sorry but stupid question: why would opendoor need ever rising prices any more than a regular market maker? They just lower their bid/asks.
I wonder myself. AWS has been pushing out more changes to their "IP Ranges" file recently. I've been keeping count, just to make sure it's not me inventing a thing:

Per week, there's much more activity recently, and some digging into it suggests they are bringing in more IPs. Could mean they're busier, or could just be longer term plans coming to fruition now.

The right answer should be: I've build capital and started my own business.
Weeks before the official lock down, coworkers were already changing behavior. Going out to dinner less, stocking up on food, buying extra supplies, etc. Not everyone was doing this, but it was not uncommon. This was weeks before the first case hit the area.

I think a lock down of sorts would've happened eventually, no matter what. Once restrictions are relaxed, a large percentage of people are still going to be very, very cautious. I will not board a plane or sit in a movie theater any time soon.
There exist "host-managed SMR" drives. In the SCSI/SAS specifications, these use the "Zoned Block Devices" command set, rather than the SCSI Block Commands (SBC) command set.

As far as I can tell it's seemingly impossible for an individual to buy host-managed SMR (ZBC) drives. Presumably they're only sold in bulk to datacentres. Maybe that could change if some demand materialised and was communicated to a suitable retailer...
The US experience is not good.

I’m a resident in Australia.
11 years at university (took some side tracks), $70k in debt for the whole time, now gone, and we are paid between $70-110k a year as interns.

Although our training pathways are longer because we are required to do 2 generalist years
a recession is not the issue imo. A recession is an issue for pretty much any business for a few exceptions.

The issue is that right now you have to stay at home. But in these rare confinement cases, very few businesses are valuable as well.

So I don't think that's a good marker. If at all, it's a good moment to buy wework.
I don't think even #1 is out of the woods. Demand for food will change and probably not for the better with so much people without a job. E-commerce will increase in some areas, but lots of companies that are not dealing with essencial products will close again due to the large number of unemployed. If the rest of the economy tanks, advertisement will also be in a difficult position.
I saw that, but what does that mean for an employee who has been there for 3 years and has a significant amount of equity vested? Do they have to buy it immediately? If so, they might as well not even bother since cash is going to be king for those employees and risking cash + tax liability is probably far from ideal.
The problem with this lawsuit is not that Musk is innocent; the problem is that shareholder lawsuits against companies simply transfer money from the company to the lawyers, and to shareholders who sold their stock between discovering the fraud and disclosing it (a relatively small subset of the supposed 'class'). Shareholder lawsuits against executives would be a better way of policing fraud, but they are uncommon, likely because they are not as lucrative for lawyers.
FWIW I firmly believe that the protruding camera array is a confirmation that they intend for phones to be in cases. There's no way it lies flush on a desk without a case.

It feels like really poor design unless that was the express intent.
The situation with Elon is kinda complicated. I almost never side with his haters (short-sellers, Brooklyn socialists etc) but there’s no doubt he does some objectionable things from time to time.

Long before the more recent controversies I remember probably the first thing that turned me off a bit was when someone wrote a critical piece about a launch event and Tesla cancelled his car purchase.. (Incidentally I looked up that incident and saw PG kinda didn’t like it either https://twitter.com/paulg/status/694892884508553216?s=21 )

That's a bit of a tautology, isn't it? Of course sufficient drive begets the requisite capital, since any amount of drive which fails to beget the requisite capital is, by definition, insufficient :)
The combination of exponential growth with a sizeable lag means that you really don't want to come anywhere close to being stressed, because then you were just a few hours away from a calamity. Time for a car analogy: it's like braking on a wet road on a foggy night, then measuring the remaining few feet of road ahead and saying "we shouldn't have braked so soon".
Attaching a secondary email to an account does not grant ownership of content or IP owned by the account holder to an entity associated with the secondary email. At best it provides evidence that the account holder has [or had] a relationship with the email domain owner.

Depending on the jurisdiction, if one suffers money damages as a result of the unapproved transfer Trello or its business clients may be exposed to liability. Also, I imagine there may be privacy or consumer protection laws that could apply too even in the absence of money damages.
Around fifty people, each buying 2 bag of food, is all that's needed to empty an average load of a 40 feet truck.

> Wait, they didn't place restrictions on how many items individual customers could buy?

Barely did, and even when it was enforced, this didn't prevent panickers reliably rushing to supermarket all and every time the truck arrived to buy full bag of food, or two. People were literally running after that truck.

And the more people see that, the more people do that.

Even switching to food stamps wasn't able to stop that entirely until they got the trick with small shops.
Back when I was playing around with Emacs I found Protesilaos Stavrou's videos to be quite good for getting a feel on how to accomplish specific things with Emacs.

They are at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0uTPqBCFIpZxlz_Lv1tk_g/vid...

Most of the videos are focused on practical tasks you would want to do. It's one of the few really good Emacs focused channels IMO.
Wow, that's disturbing. The typical household variety isn't strong enough to do much more than give you a nasty upset stomach and maybe vomit a bit. I guess drinking a lot might cause irritation. But if quacks are peddling this, it's only a matter of time before someone gets creative and finds some of the 12% stuff in some hair dye kits and other beauty products. Internal chemical burns are pretty nasty stuff, and surviving the ordeal is option
Of course he is, and frankly I wouldn’t put it past this or even most administrations to do the same thing.

Zero accountability. It’s disgusting.

Yes. Downvote this. For calling out the issue of accountability for what it is on this topic: disgusting.

I dare someone to defend it convincingly. Please someone defend this.
Anyone know who the original creator of the bouncing DVD logo is?
As a historical note, the bouncing logo wasn't just for fun, but was important to prevent screen burn-in on CRTs. If you had a static image on a CRT for a long time, it could damage the phosphor. Sometimes you could even see the image when the screen was off!

This was the original purpose of screensavers, which saved your screen from damage. Displaying a dynamic image prevented one part of the screen from being overused.
Which of those do you think are accessible to the average user?
This is a disingenuous take. There's a big difference between a shorter person wanting extra leg room because it's nice to have, and someone being in actual physical pain because they couldn't afford / weren't quick enough to get one of the few seats they can actually fit in.

I did. It was tough, not a lot of "interesting" companies, but if you road it out doing government contracting or working at a boring-but-stable financial firm, you were fine.
This particular obituary is from Siobhan Roberts, who wrote a well regarded biography of Conway, "Genius at Play" (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22529392-genius-at-pl...). I recommend it highly, even if you have read others.
That's 32GB per socket, with current technology.

Assume that in 1-2 years HBM capacity doubles, and it's a quad-socket motherboard. You'd have 64GB per socket, or 256GB total.

Remind me how much memory an NVIDIA accelerator has?

To play Devil's advocate, putting HBM2 in the package doesn't magically solve everything. The intra-socket bandwidth could be enormous, but the inter-socket bandwidth would still be whatever it is now, and would be difficult to increase.
So it’s unjust? Have you ever seen a civil lawsuit?
It is interesting to note that the price Musk mentioned was $420 per share while the stock closed at just under $730 per share today and was as high as $969 (EDIT: actually more like $900, see computerex's comment below) per share before the Coronavirus selloffs began. I point this out not to defend Musk (he is often an idiot, especially on social media), but to point out that the people still angry about this are likely Tesla shorts and day traders. Anyone who is long on Tesla likely couldn't care less.
Yeah I was wondering about that myself. There are 5 participating locations listed, but even then it's a large sample size and an aggressive time frame. On the other hand, just about any healthy adult who recently came into contact with a confirmed positive case is eligible to enroll so maybe it won't be so difficult under the circumstances?
These aren't necessarily the typical use cases that compiler writers are trying to optimize, either. So, compilers for general purpose languages may never close that gap.
I hated EM as a student and for my first couple of rotations. I was streaming for surgery and couldn’t understand why Thr emergency department kept making such stupid admissions for us.

By the time I’d seen a couple thousand patients in the ED, I was much more comfortable and now intend to complete training there (also, I can do it part time given my other commitments). I’d prefer to be ok at most things (ie retain my general medical knowledge) and good at critical care but that’s more because I work so infrequently now, and have found that I value being a generalist... abuse of ED docs decisions be damned!
Something I never thought about with being a submarine officer is that there aren't weekends. I never even thought about that. I could work the hours but not even a Sunday?! I can't do that for the time they do it.
It does use regular Redis, from the new 6.0 release. This post is comparing different products, not versions of Redis.

If you want to see how much Redis itself improved from 5.0 to 6.0 then you can look at Salvatore's updates: https://twitter.com/antirez/status/1110973404226772995 and other benchmarks: https://itnext.io/benchmarking-the-experimental-redis-multi-...

Is it corona virus, or ventilators, killing them?

When you have a mortality rate of 66% to 90% for something tha isn't a hemorrhagic fever, it's the ventilator.
That's why they've stockpiled $105B and $55B in cash respectively, though. Facebook could run the company for 1.5 years if their revenue went to zero; Google could run it for 2 years. They know how the business works and position themselves to weather and profit from downturns.

Some weaker shareholders may sell if they're only interested in quarterly numbers, but in the long term their revenues go back up to what their userbase justifies.

There are also several other methods that often work, e.g. the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header if there is a local proxy, or a long list of non-HTTP protocols or tunnel-XYZ-inside-HTTP protocols that have the client IP as part of the protocol.

Temporary IPv6 addresses actually solve this, especially for P2P systems that do benefit from knowing the client IP in case there is a peer on the same LAN, because the address they get is the same one the remote server sees (no additional information) and then it's both a valid local address but hard to correlate with anything when every device can have hundreds of them at once.
And the stories I've read say their accuracy is questionable.
I've linked to a specific post, but if you have the time and the interest, the entire 325-reply newgroup discussion is quite fascinating. I stumbled across this after seeing it linked in a MathOverflow question. It also seems to serve as the inspiration for Chris Tiee's excellent notes on tensor calculus [1].

Whenever I see an old usenet discussion like this, I can't help but wonder how life was like back then. I was only six years old in 2001, and have only faint memories of dial-up and BBS. Moreover: the first post in this thread was September 6, 2001.

Small bit of feedback: The title "The Program" is great, but unfortunately (as I'm sure you are aware) there is another podcast called "The Program" and while yours has "The Program audio series" (note the lack of capitalization on audio series) as its title (at least in Overcast, my podcasting app) makes it harder for people to communicate orally. I understand if you feel like it is too late to change, but if you could find a title that was more searchable I'm sure it would help. The Program Arises or something like that.
I totally agree. The word eliminated is surprisingly common in the US but I think it has violent connotations. Alternatives are harder than I thought but separating, off-boarding, and reduction in force (RIF) might help depending on the context.

This may be one of the oddest sentence to read on HN. What are you talking about?

Also, regarding canceling someone's car purchase for writing a critical piece, why do you see that as a bad thing? or a good one?
That's one explanation for politics, another explanation is that politicians do not care because they are not economically affected by their decisions, they have steady jobs and income, many have significant accumulated assets.

The interesting thing about Uber is before Covid-19 I thought that the ride sharing arm of the company was the profitable path and the food delivery arm, Uber Eats was a lost cause. Now it seems like that theory has been thrown on its head as ride shares plummet and takeouts soar. But still I think profit margins on food delivery are not that high so I wonder if Uber will escape unscathed from layoffs/closures, VC funding will only last so long when a majority of your business dries up.
Organic products use pesticides, it's just that they often use older pesticide technologies or supplement the use of pesticides with other techniques for repelling pests. Most organic pesticides are no more healthy nor environmentally friendly than modern synthetic pesticides (maybe this wasn't true when DDT was popular, but these days it is).

I've been baking bread under quarantine when I haven't in the past been a baker on a regular basis. What it does is allow me to extend the time between grocery store visits; the usual choice is to buy less frozen food so I can store a loaf or two of bread in the freezer, instead I can fill my freezer and bake when my bread runs out.

I'm doing this quite explicitly - on my last shopping trip I bought one loaf that went straight into the breadbox. When it is gone it will be replaced by a baked loaf.

I don't know if this thinking is common, but obviously extending the time between grocery store visits is a good thing.

tangentially related: I think there's been a lot of unwarranted gleeful bashing of people as universal stockpilers when I suspect that most of this is a tempo/timing thing (which easily destroys a JIT supply chain.) It's not that most people were stockpiling unnecessarily, it's that everybody was shopping at the same time, and fully stocking their larder rather than doing it as casually as they usually would. The special cases of particular staples like toilet paper were intensely covered by the media, IMO creating the hoarding of those staples. In normal times, if I have three rolls of toilet paper at home and I'm at the grocery store, unless a sale jumps out at me I'm probably not going to buy - I only buy when I'm critically low. In current times, that would be a bad move that would result in a special trip just for TP (which would be trivial in normal times.) Not buying the largest size of TP available (which is only around $20) seems reckless under the circumstances. If I hear that people are stockpiling, I might want to buy more than one for fear that when I need TP, I might have to travel from store to store to find it, exposing myself even more.

I'm saying this as somebody who always buys the largest size unless there's a sale that makes a smaller size cheaper by sheet, went shopping a couple of weeks before any quarantines were announced, and therefore hasn't had to buy any during the pandemic. The fact that I was able to make it 5 weeks on what I had at home before going out again was a comfort.
If there's no randomly selected control group then the value of the results are fairly minimal.
Definitely not me. WeWork was barely on my radar as a thing until the last exorbitant round of funding, to which my reaction was, "seems high, but I don't know much about their market competition or growth prospects." Though it took very little time at all after that for it to look sketchy: CEO paying himself to sell his work product, as CEO, back to the company was a bit of a sign that mass value extraction and/or strip mining was taking place.
Come on man (or woman ;-)). That's a silly, obviously incorrect statement. Not shutting down would have lead to many many more cases. Look at Louisiana. Secondly, the only hope of not shutting down is having widespread testing and tracking of limited cases. The US doesn't have that either.
The other possible explanation is that it implicates high-ranking Saudi officials, which would make it politically problematic to maintain the existing diplomatic and security relationship. For example, while under seal it can't be used to civilly sue those officials, and it permits the DoJ to avoid prosecutions it might be politically forced to pursue. Such civil and criminal suits would disrupt the existing state of affairs. By keeping the secrets you keep closed the pandora's box of political pain, even though anyone who cares already knows what's in the box.

People outside the government have read the files. As the article says, lawyers for plaintiffs in the ongoing civil suit saga have seen them, as presumably would the judge. If the documents detailed criminal activity on the part of the U.S. government we'd have heard something about it by now.
Also, companies backed by Venture Capital or Private Equity can't currently access these funds in most cases. Nearly 100% of these unicorns fail the affiliation test.

There is another positive side effect of limiting customization to reasonable levels. Default Emacs shortcuts are hidden everywhere. Most importantly, bash understands them, as well as many other REPLs (erlang, ghci, julia, ...). Developing muscle memory for the default Emacs allows one to use many tools much more efficiently.

Normally modern medicine doesn't make people sick deliberately, because some percentage will always have some time of reaction. And the US is also a litigious society.
