From what I understand, The us market is way way easier than most foreign markets you dint need a lawyer to incorporate or frankly to deal with the first few hundred thousand bucks of investment using standard terms, and the amount of bureaucracy and red tape is far far less here. Caveat: I cant speak to Germany specifically and can only speak to my experience with building a company in the us and what I hear from friends in europe and asia
Facebook does a weird thing where it prioritises "Top Fan" accounts on loads of pages in the comments, which very often wind up being some person with an agenda geared directly towards that page.
I question the same. Either hospital supply chains were incompetent or underfunded (or both). Perhaps sacrificed on the recent trend of “lean” in the healthcare system.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question but they can’t hold a gun to your head to force you to take the oil, right? Can’t you just refuse the delivery if you have nowhere to store it? Is there language in the contract for this kind of situation?
It's a quibble, but I'm stretching to think of any example of a person welcoming death and misery upon another for the purpose of monetary profit. Generally those who welcome death do it for other reasons, and those motivated by money accept or ignore others' deaths, but do not particularly welcome them.
>Live on average 7 years.

We've had outdoor cats all my life.

Don't recall a single one that died so young. Maybe Ginger, but he got cancer, so I'm not going to blame that on his access to the outdoors.
I think HN lacks a notification system intentionally. HN is very much geared towards reducing flame wars, and I think that is part of it.

If they wanted a notification system I'm sure they could have implemented it.
Number of rides is actually more relevant in this context than number of distinct riders. Each trip involves a new set of people next to you in the train car and a new chance of getting infected.
I have the same impulse to want to virtualise my router. I’ve repeatedly agonised over this but keep coming back to the decision that as cool as it would be, so long as internet uptime matters, the router probably needs to be separate hardware.

You can get good, power efficient pfsense hardware for around $200 USD. A few bonus notes:

—You could spend a little bit more and get hardware that's good enough to add a virtualisation layer to your dedicated router.

—If your uplink is less than 300 megabit, and you have a managed switch with VLANs, your pfsense box doesn't need to be dual NIC. This could open the door for cheaper or re-purposed hardware.
Was a story from a credible source (if you prefer, any source) on the German seizure ever retracted?

The story that was shared here on the German seizure did not contain enough information that a retraction would be necessary.
> What, exactly is the policy you think needs a protest to be enacted?

A plan for re-opening. There should be reasonable targets of X transmission rate, Y available hospital beds, X masks, etc. that we can aim for and achieve.

The lockdown here in Canada feels 10x more uncomfortable and hopeless than it needs to be because without a concrete plan for re-opening my mind extrapolates into "this will last forever, or 18-24 months for a vaccine".

Nobody is willing to discuss an acceptable number of infections and deaths that we can aim for, they just say things like "health/lives at any cost" which is terrifying as it implies "lockdown until vaccine".
I think the link should be here: https://www.ezequiel.tech/2019/01/75k-google-cloud-platform-...

And the date should be (2019)
KVM works well. You can use system-wide libvirt-based management to have the VMs automatically come up and go down with the host machine, and treat them like services.

That said, there's value in having your router/firewall separate from other systems (virtual or otherwise), which will substantially reduce complexity and make it less likely that you accidentally make a system accessible on the wrong side.
Such arguments are usually emotional and spouting off facts is unlikely to change the other person's stance and instead make them double down harder.
But does this mean that the contract holder is paying someone to take their oil in the future? It feels significant that someone in the chain from producer to consumer is now paying to have someone take their product.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. But I don't think it qualifies as "popular". The Wikipedia page says it lost around $10mil a year and then folded after 6 years in a mess of debts.

At around the same time, Rush Limbaugh's salary was $30mil+.
Same! Or hackernews search when applicable, and sometimes even twitter is fruitful.
> Why isn't this theory brought up more?

Because if reinfection so close to recovery were possible, it would make this virus really unique, and it doesn't really fit the available data very well. It makes much more sense that the virus takes a long time to clear after symptoms abate, and the tests have a really lousy false negative rate.
At this point, I see two problems with Kreb's article.

First, to me only the VA tweet was specific to 2nd Amendment. The others were not. I presume VA was specifically noted because of the recent gun law past there.

Second, this smells more like domain kiting or tasting where it worked. Most seem to jump on the "political" bandwagon on the intention of the domain owner. I disagree. Kreb points to "were created just hours after", "Web site design company", and "promoted nothing but spammy paid surveys for years". That reads to me more like an web marketing opportunist trying to get eyeballs for ad revenue.
That's not a stupid question it's an excellent one. If you don't take delivery you're in breach of contract. The penalties for that are going to depend on how the judicial process works out.

This has never happened before, so I don't know how it will play out other than that it's going to be wildly messy. Probably far messier than anyone, myself included, is imagining.
How long until we run out of tankers?
That can be difficult to do depending on the context. Mexico comes to mind. Criminals can use both fear and loyalty to make it harder to prove crimes and if politicians are involved, they can easily threaten other politicians or even the legal system itself. This isn’t to say that the approach won’t work, long-term de-escalating violence, increasing controls in arms trade, and asserting the rule of law above any individual are all viable. It’s getting the existing gangs and political systems to change their ways that is harder. It’s also worth pointing out that a justice system based on evidence can still serve unjust sentences, make mistakes. And politicians write the laws the system enforces. And many places don’t have free speech and human rights upheld to such an extent that laws can’t easily be written to curb it. So it’s a complicated problem... I’d even start by saying Panama Papers highlights a problem that you can have anonymous “persons” making transactions that are untraceable, etc. And countries and businesses can profit off this, and there isn’t agreement as to when privacy is worth more or less than free speech or when profit is valued more or less than security.
Since oil is making the front page here, if you're interested in the history of American oil industry, "The History of the Standard Oil Company" by Ida Tarbell is a fantastic read. It's also a great example of investigative journalism.

In early chapters of the book she covers the initial rush to pump oil in the Oil Regions and the history of pipelines and storage facilities as it all ties into business practices of Rockefeller.

Oil storage facilities were an interesting startup idea back then, in the beginning producers would pump the oil into open pits where it would seep back into the ground if it wasn't transferred fast enough, then of course new ways of storing and transporting the oil were experimented with. It also goes into how much supply/demand were at odds in the beginning leading to several collapses in the price of oil when there wasn't such a diverse market. Again some of the issues we still see where land locked areas of producers struggled to get their product out of the region and how local economies caused drastic prices differences that we're seeing right now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_the_Standard_Oi...
This sort of refusal would likely has contractual penalties associated with it. Drillers and pipeline operators can't just shut down infrastructure by flipping a switch like it's nothing; it costs real money to perform shutdown procedures or restart pipeline pumps.
It still appears more significant by the way futures trading works and the way it all bulked up to the last trading day, since there was no buyers after a certain point - because (certain) buyers were incentivized to wait until the last minute to submit orders, to get the cheapest price.

In a "real" market with physical oil wells + storage, wouldn't that decline in consumption -> storage normally happen far more gradually over time? (A drop over a week is less exciting than a down spike within 24hrs) I know it's less efficient that way and all of that, but this seems to make it appear like this drop in the market happened all at once.

A lot of non-experts will see the news this way regardless - it's slightly less exciting in context but still historic.
Direct action action on one military superpower from another doesn't happen anymore, not since the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Any such action would have unthinkable consequences for humanity.

America's weapon of choice is economic devastation via sanctions, it can leverage its position in the world to convince its allies to follow suit for added effect. Russia, on the outside of NATO, is forced to play a more subtle game, sowing discord and long term instability.
That assumes the truth is relatively easy to unpack.

As someone who seriously considered building a fact-checking website, I am sure that I fit reasonably well into the group of people who would question misinformation, but often I can't find the truth without going through reams of government documents or sifting through tweets.

There have been plenty of things I have questioned, investigated, given up on investigating as unpacking it was a burden, and thought that it was more likely than not that such a thing was true. I have been wrong in that way many times.
> Producers already got paid for this production a long time ago

Nothing requires a broker to be involved. Drillers can sell futures to "get paid now" for future production, and likely did so to cover expenses in these chaotic times.

If they issued a contract for 1000 barrels on the 1st of the month, produced that 1000 barrels on the 10th, and have an unsold contract on the last day of the month - they are screwed.
Probably because they know it's futile, not because it shouldn't be covered under the Amendment.
One of the reasons why the original OS/2 source wasn't made available by IBM was that there are a lot of 3rd party libraries in it. Many from companies that no longer exist, or firms that have been acquired several times, so it's just too hard to get the release signatures.
It’s likely that they’d be held liable for the costs of storage for the oil they did not take.
> Medical experts and scientists can provide data that helps inform people.

There are tons of data available. Even at a layman level, it should be pretty obvious that doing no or late lockdown ends up in situations where there are large numbers of deaths.
> Nobody has excluded Taiwan from anything, but they are not a member state of the UN and therefore not part of the WHO.

Speaking from the cheap seats, Taiwan is obviously a sovereign country. They'd like to be in the UN. The UN apparently excludes them because of the influence of mainland China. So yes, they are excluded.
Missed all these great replies :( Took a while for them to filter through so I thought my question had sunk like a stone into the murky depths of HN. I'll reply individually now and hope people notice.
And when Java gets Project Loom then Go will not have any real world advantages.
It is probably a fair and terrible assumption that others have thought of this already and that, in fact, tanker ships are filling up all over the place right now. Statistically, this means we're more likely for a spill, somewhere.
Bloody wonderful, I wish I could write like that.

He's correct of course.

And it's great to know I'm not alone (we need to start a club methinks).
Looking at the benchmarks it's amazing how despite not having significantly more advanced gameplay compared to Civ 2, Civ 6 still manages to take up as many resources as a modern FPS.
If you can afford it, go to a specialist (ie Seattle's Hallowell Todaro ADHD Center). It will probably be more expensive and might take longer to get evaluated, but you'll be taken seriously and it's easier to advocate for yourself and your medication when the medical providers don't automatically jump to "pill seeking".

I'm not sure about my current provider, but the place that diagnosed me would let patients complete evaluations at a slower pace if they couldn't afford everything right away.

Also, before I switched to a specialist after moving, I tried asking my GP for my RX and they went straight to "pill seeking", however, they would still allow me to get my script if I came in every month for a drug test.
Is there an open-source library that does this? I know readability existed at some point but now its no more. Using this, I'd love to build a self-hosted version of Pocket that supports full-text search etc.

Good times. I also ran OS/2 from v1.1 through OS/2 Warp.

Not quite true about the 32-bit no DOS. OS/2 1.x was a 16-bit system (although protected mode with segment selector 16MB memory) and one real-mode fullscreen DOS box. You're speaking of OS/2 2.0 which was a combined IBM and MS effort with OS/2 3.0 ultimately becoming WinNT. OS/2 2.0 even ended up having Win16 compatibility via DOS VM.

My favourite version of OS/2 was 1.3 with the SVGA driver written by an intern at IBM.

Edit: about the lack of GUI editor. My first paid OS/2 project was to write one after 2 weeks at a MS OS/2 campus.
The cost of supertankers used for offshore storage has unsurprisingly also gone through the roof. Well over 100k USD per day.
>Is it “blatantly wrong” to say they’re measuring employees or not?

Yes, because they are not measuring each employee individually. At no point in the decision-making process individual employee data is used. They are obtaining and using the data as an anonymized aggregate and then draw conclusions based on it.

Which is very different from what "heatmapping employees" would imply. If it was "heatmapping stores" in the original post title (which was changed since I posted my first comment in this thread), then I would have no issue with it whatsoever.
Spotted that package, and paper – but I don't know Julia so I haven't dug into it yet. Must get in touch with the author. I've made a Ruby implementation and the naive recursive addition/subtraction has pathological code paths.
When I visualize some thing I don't literally see it in my field of view but I can still 'see' it. It's similar to audition(hearing in your mind). Read something out loud in your mind or play a song in your head. Its the same thing you don't literally hear it but you do 'hear' it.
>situation where most medical experts would agree that the quarantine is necessary for saving lives

The same experts (like WHO) told everyone 3 month ago that masks don't work, that no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission was found, etc.
If they made such obvious mistakes and we still have to obey their orders now, what's the point of having government at all? Let's just accept the rule by the experts and get rid of elections and stuff.
Yes I understand The difference. JavaScript is client-side. Java is back-end. JavaScript is interpreted through the browser, and Java is compiled using a JVM.

But the reason I wan't to learn java is because it's a common programming language that can help me think like a programmer. My goal is to become a software engineer.
I think the only reason someone who likes dark theme would opt out of your dark mode is because it's not as nice/readable as your light theme, or vice-versa. You should fix that instead. Once your dark mode support is perfect, or at least as good as your light theme, then the toggle serves no purpose.
I bet all the lawyers who put such clauses in futures contracts are feeling pretty smug right now. I can imagine an oil producer going "Why on earth do we need to put this in the contract? Of course they'll accept delivery. If they don't then that's great for us."
How can the 'outside influence' be a group of citizens starting an organization to organize a campaign?

What does it mean to 'self-organize'? If someone posts an event on facebook is that a 'coordinated effort'? Or is the only valid protest one in which dozens of people literally decide upon showing up in the same place at the same time without any communication? Why is this the standard to which valid protesting is held?

Why is it wrong for one to be influenced by outside people? Gandhi in India inspired MLK in America. Nelson Mandela gives speeches all around the world encouraging the locals to seek what he sees as a just society. Why is that bad? I don't get it.,
> the amount of context that must be conveyed in order to disambiguate it.

Precisely!

I didn't want to assume what the parent was asking, so I asked for more information.

With a highly-context-sensitive phrase like this it is best to ask them to explain. If it is asked in sincerity a conversation can evolve. If it is asked with an obvious attempt to deliver the subtext, it is quite clear in about 3-4 sentences.

I appreciate your documented thought process. I notice you diligently approach the phrase prima-facie and observe the semantics, but then don't move beyond that. You were super close there with "what did 0xff00ffee mean?", then moved on.

Beyond lexing and yaccing some tokens, there is one very important question, often referred to by historians as part of analysis via the "Period View":

"What is happening culturally (socially and politically) at that time and geography when the phrase was uttered?"

Much like how historical record needs to be digested in context, which is where many of the logical dissections of ideological slogans have a colossal, debilitating blind spot.

Not to say semantic analysis is wrong or irrelevant, it is just half of the process. A necessary half, but only half.
Only commercial speech. Private non-commercial speech has been pretty broadly protected by the First Amendment.
I use two 15 pound dumbbells and perform a full body workout with them, using exercises I learned a while back. You'll be surprised how far you can go with just a pair of dumbbells and good lifting form.
thanks for the tip. do you use Julia? Is it difficult to pick up?
I have an older NUC that I've been repaving as needs change, using it as a build agent for some projects, a homelab to experiment with hasura, etc. It's always done well, but it's perf relative to other options would never make me consider using it as a type 1 hypervisor like this. I may need to pick up a NUC10I7FNH.
You attended in support or to watch? Why would you want to me in a crowd of others right now?

To be fair, the US engaged in lockdowns well after the situation had run its course in China so we had the data. It feels much more like a panic reaction than a question of which epidemiological model it best fit.
I'm was making an assertion that I feel that a lot of people will buy apple while having a substandard product in some aspects. Because overall it has the "package"
When i refer to "many of us" I was talking about startups/developer community maybe not super enterprise-y like a Freddie or Fannie/ BofA etc.

"Why is that?" was a question. I answered it for me, but I was wondering for others. That may buy a macbook over something with arguably notebooks with better cpus / configuration. Why are they doing it?

AMD has a great processor, what they need is a great platform. I hope Microsoft partnership they have pushes them forward. Because I'm tired of buying intel macbooks/notebooks
> so I just named the two closest concepts that came to mind.

To be quite blunt, this is a recipe for downvotable comments.
I don't know about the particular motives of each protester. But it's obvious that there are large numbers of people facing immediate financial ruin. And very shortly thereafter, risk of death for themselves and their loved ones.

I'm not in that situation, but I wouldn't be caught dead silencing their voices.
A second recommendation for Julia. What's the deal with it?
Also recommend "The Prize" which is incredible.
there's a really big pro-density crowd online which is working hard to undermine this argument in order to satisfy its agenda.
Merkel is a great politician, the kind of which both Europe and Americas are sorely lacking. It's interesting to see the similar background of leaders in China leading to very different outcomes.
The Wall Street Journal writes today:

"Lease rates have soared for very large crude carriers, the 2-million-barrel high-seas behemoths known as VLCCs. The average day rate for a VLCC on a six-month contract is about $100,000, up from $29,000 a year ago, according to Jefferies analyst Randy Giveans. Yearlong contracts are about $72,500 a day, compared with $30,500 a year ago. Spot charter rates have risen sixfold, to nearly $150,000 a day.

Day rates rise as the spread between oil-futures contracts widens. The basic math is that every dollar in the six-month spread equates to an additional $10,000 a day that can be paid for a VLCC over that time without wiping out all the oil-price gains, Mr. Giveans said."

But there's plenty of Saudi oil going in as well.

I'm not sure that they're materially more at risk of a major spill than during normal operations.
Might be more accurate to say that consoles put the CPU on the same die as the GPU. The GPU portion of the console SoC die is bigger than the CPU portion and the memory controller is very much a GPU memory controller not a CPU memory controller.
Hmm, an interesting suggestion.
Facebook should remove the groups promoting them too.
In line with this, I sometimes feel that the best way to fix a problem is to make it worse, to the point where it's intolerable.

Kind of like a pot-hole in the street out in front of your house. If it's a small pot-hole it might go unnoticed and unfixed, but if you go take a pick-axe to it to the point where cars start bottoming out, it's more likely to get fixed.

Almost like the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Everything is essential to someone. I wouldn't be so dismissive.
