Sure. On a per capita basis the US is ahead of SK. To reach Germany levels the US will need 8M+ tests. That’s a large percentage of all tests that have already been done worldwide. Unfortunately a large country like the US (similar to countries like China and India) is going to run into production/technology constraints.

The US dropped many balls and started late with ramping testing in particular, but now the ramping is happening and just takes time. There was also no way the US could test enough people using the original set of tests that simply took too long. New technology had to be developed.
Okay but how does a "knowledge worker" like me, and many of the other readers of HN who work in jobs with little exposure to large-scale structures, get started building the city of the future? I have no idea where to even begin.

I learned how to program by watching tutorials and doing online coding classes. This is how I am used to learning. This method of learning isn't going to work when it comes to say, starting a startup that will build a new monorail. This is such a huge blockage for me and probably others with limited exposure to industries outside of software.

Has anyone ever felt this way and how did you overcome it?

This is the excuse that multinational corporations use to protect themselves: using independent artists as hostages. Using access to Zalem/Tiphares as a carrot to get independent artists protect the industry as it exists today. This is a really effective strategy. Like cigarette companies saying smoking bans affect you freedom despite addiction being slavery to the product. Like how raising the minimum wage would mean less jobs because companies could not longer hire people for subsistence wages. Like zero hour contracts.
> Germany is a democracy, so it ultimately comes down to the quality of the leadership decisions made by the populace.

This is not entirely true. Democracy is a broad term and different democracies work very differently.

In Germany for example political parties are quite powerful, politicians have to be elected by party members, there are no primaries like in the US. Being a politician in parliament or becoming chancellor in Germany requires a political career that takes quite some time.

This excludes people in ways that are both good and bad. On the good side someone like Trump would have no chance at all because he lacks the political track record and relationships. On the bad side politicians in Germany are not a very diverse group. There is a strong bias towards older people, people who've been in politics for their entire life and people in professions that allow for spending time as a politician in parliament for a couple of years and continuing in their regular job afterwards. In practice this means teachers and lawyers, at least in Germany.

I think the essential distinction that your analogy doesn't include is that the independents making and releasing new works under copyright did so with the prior promise that they would be protected against someone copying their work and distributing it without compensating them, as the law states.

There is no law, nor any reasonable expectation, that just because you wrote a piece of software to do something then no-one else can ever independently create other software that competes with you, open source or otherwise.

There is also no law that just because an independent made a song or a film about a love story, no-one else can make another (original) song or movie about a love story in a similar style that the same listeners or viewers might also like. That seems like a fairer analogy between your open source scenario and works from small, independent creators.
Introducing something as an unconventional first-in-class piece of software is not very descriptive IMHO.

I think this would be better described by the problem it solves, which I am guessing has to do with MacOS refusing to boot on non-Apple UEFI code, which I presume the Hackintosh community has not been able to obtain?

Saying it's better than Clover also doesn't help anyone who isn't already familiar with the problem.

Anand is about 100 Elo points weaker than Carlsen at all time controls. It's impressive that Anand is still #15 at his age (50 years), but he's the only 50-year-old at that elite level (2700+ Elo).

The age distribution of the top 100 Classical players is:

16-19: 5
20-29: 39
30-39: 40
40-49: 12
50-51: 4

The claim was:

> It is common to reference memory mapped peripherals by casting an integer to a struct pointer.

If you check the C standard you'll see that C guarantees nothing about what happens when you do this. I work with a compliant C implementation where this would not work.
I think it really depends how "elite" the schools you've been admitted to are. If you're accepted to MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc. you'd be a fool not to go, IMHO. Not only will they give you loads of generous financial aid, but you'll get a signalling stamp on your CV that will follow you for a lifetime.

On the other hand, if you've been accepted to some expensive private school that isn't a household name (sorry WashU, Drexel, Dukes of the world) you might be better off skipping the debt and going to a credible state school.

This seems pretty out of touch. Encouraging people to go right into the jobs market as 18yos without degrees is encouraging them to trap themselves at the (already rapidly expanding) bottom of the economic ladder, unless they're from an already upper/upper-middle-class family.

And the same goes double for encouraging degreeless 18yos to skip getting paid entirely and volunteer. That's rich kid stuff.
The C standard doesn't define what happens when you cast an integer to a pointer like that. For example I work with a compliant C implementation where this would not work, because it uses fat pointers.
Except PG doesn’t write blogs. He writes essays.

While that is admittedly a bit snarky, the fact is the context of nearly all PG’s essays are things he is an expert in, and has rightly earned a bit of authority in influencing others in these areas he is an expert in.

So I think it’s fair for others to make it clear he may not have much more authority in this area vs. other “mommy bloggers”, who probably have as much, and in many cases much more experience.
Even basic mask works quite well in stopping infected person spreading it further. This isn't some recent covid-related revelation, but long known fact. To say it for the 1000th time - this doesn't make you magically virus-proof, but significantly lowers the infection rate of those who have it. On large enough scale, this behavior makes significant difference in infection rates.

I have yet to see a single western leader to recommend those masks for all the interactions (indoor at least). Case point - yesterday I went shopping in fairly large supermarket in Switzerland, and there were maybe 5 other customers (out of at least 100 in the store during that time, probably close to 200 plus all the staff) wearing masks, or gloves. People at least often kept their distance (not always possible in aisles), but that's about it. In a country which has one of most per-capita infections globally.

Why? They rely heavily on politicians doing right stuff. Mostly it works, but in these times politicians prefer keeping economy running (they delayed strong measures when things were getting worse than bad in Italy few kms from their border due to fear of financial impacts... well now they are worse but delayed by few days).
Ok, we've put theft in the title above.

You're right, which makes this situation tricky to reverse. But the least we could do is stop continually extending and strengthening copyright terms, which at this point are encouraging loads of rent-seeking behavior and quite possibly disincentivizing innovation and creativity on the whole.

And culturally, imo we should fight against propaganda like "intellectual property" and the equating of copyright violations to theft. The moral argument against theft exists because it only applies to rivalrous goods.

Attack can be used to encrypt bitstreams also.

>3.4 Attack 2: Breaking Authenticity

>Therefore the attacker can encrypt an arbitrary bitstream by means of the FPGA as a decryption oracle. The valid HMAC tag can also be created by the attacker, as the HMAC key is part of the encrypted bitstream. Hence, the attacker can set his own HMAC key inside the encrypted bitstream and calculate the corresponding valid tag. Thus, the attacker is capable of creating a valid encrypted bitstream, meaning the authenticity of the bitstream is broken as well

I don't think you read the article. It's telling people to defer a year because of coronavirus, not the usual college is not worth it schpeel.

That being said, I disagree with your advice in two cases:

1) Most top schools offer free tuition if your family income is below a generous threshold (like $150k). If you can get into Stanford and meet this criteria, it's cheaper than your local community college.

2) If you are studying a technical field, even if you are average, a degree has greater ROI than just about anything else. You can pay off your debt in the first few years out of school and continue earning dividends for the rest of your life.

If you are an average student and studying a non-technical field, then the decision is not as clear.
trump is terrible at business, very likely to have grossly underperformed against putting his inheritance and loans into an index fund. he’s good at grabbing attention and being a reality tv actor/celebrity however.
I think OP was suggesting to go to a community college for the first two years, then transfer to a university for the second half of your undergrad. Most colleges (at least in Canada & US) have transferable credits at this level.
I agree with OP that this is a good approach. In addition to being cheaper, the community college experience tends to be better in the first year or two because the instructor to student ratio in the mandatory courses tends to be better.
It's a shame that they do not have a cheap baseline Mac anymore. When I was in college, I bought my first Mac (2007). I didn't have a lot of money, but I bought a Mac Mini for 499 Euro or thereabouts. It was also relatively cheap to upgrade memory afterwards. I actually bought the Mac Mini because my brother and I were experimenting with Hackintosh. It didn't work on my computer, but it did work (somewhat) on his Dell laptop and he was raving about it.

With the Macbook Air 2020, they finally have a laptop that I can recommend again and isn't much more expensive than the MacBook I bought later in 2007 (which was a base model white MacBook, just above 1000 Euro).
Thank you, that is super interesting.

>I’ve been looking after his chickens and one of the roosters keeps attacking me. If he keeps it up he’s going in my gumbo.

I get that it's likely that these animals are being raised for food or eggs, but let's chart out the logic here.

"A rooster, a naturally territorial animal, is aggressive towards a temporary caretaker -- if he continues this natural behavior, the temporary caretaker is going to kill him for meat as vengeance for being attacked."

Two problems :

1)A naturally territorial animal is expected to act otherwise, especially towards an unknown or out-of-the-norm caretaker

2) The roosters' behavior is an excuse to butcher the animal for meat even if not otherwise planned or warranted.

This is all implied with the 'If he keeps it up..'.

I understand that it's (probably) just a cutesy aside comment; but I think that there being a motivation for butchery other than meat ("That chicken is a trouble maker, let's kill him early") adds a layer of cruelty to the otherwise (somewhat) morally balanced and benign proposition of rearing animals for personal sustenance.

(yes, I raise chickens.)
I wonder how many lives could have been saved if we (western/European countries) didn’t have such an aversion to wearing face masks

My wife and I were one of the few people wearing masks at the start of the pandemic, before the closing and work from home orders came. We were harassed by random people shouting at us.

Also, I don't really get the societal penalty for disaster preparation. It's completely illogical. Just a few weeks before the news was really onboard with the pandemic, a woman at my apartment was looking at how many amazon boxes I had on my hand cart. I told her, "In times like this, it pays to be prepared." She looked at me like I was scum. My understanding is that some news outlets were actually denigrating disaster preparation at that point.
The 13th Amendment and 19th Amendment are both net positive on freedom. Many other counterexamples exist.
If you have a scholarship, this advice may not be good. I think most scholarships expect you to start that fall; if you don't, you may lose the scholarship. (Some or all of them will accept a "gap year", but most won't accept you going to community college for two years and then trying to take the scholarship.

Or at least, that's how I think it is. Your mileage may vary, so if you have a scholarship offer, check the rules for that scholarship rather than listening to me.
It makes people prefer to buy what they truly need. And over time, things cost less. It incentivizes saving over consumption. And with private money, there can be alternatives to a single currency. The hardest money is saved, and the softer money is spent first.
Uncertainty is part of the business for something like this. Good faith, open communication is essential to public expense.

That’s one of the reasons why some of the governors in the US are getting accolades as their approach to communication contrasts against other political figures with a more political focused approach.

Capturing and interpreting risk appropriately is more important than being right. The various models scoped the problem, but it’s hard to model things like a complete breakdown of federal response.

No for-profit university will turn away someone they think can pay, and especially not someone who looks like they might turn into a rich donor in the future.
Money buys options. Options are freedom. Don’t let others gate you unnecessarily. We all operate in a physical world that doesn’t care about credentials as long as you adhere to the laws of physics (caveat aside for professionals that require credentials by law, such as the medical profession and such).

Going to school in another country that’s more reasonable about costs (Europe comes to mind) is also an option.

Consider more efficient paths to the end state you desire is all I’m suggesting.

While I understand that without the proper context (knowing a bit about bitstream protection in the Xilinx 7-Series FPGAs) my comment may seem a bit obscure, I did read the paper.

As the sibling comment mentions, the attack requires programming a plaintext bitstream in order to perform the readout of the WBSTAR register after the automatic reset caused by the HMAC authentication failure. Blowing the CFG_AES_Only eFUSE prevents the loading of that plaintext readout bitstream and the first stage of the attack is thus foiled (preventing the second stage of the attack from taking place as well).
This is fascinating to me. Surely Apple has a databases somewhere of all the S/Ns of all the computers they've ever sold. Why would they accept a made up one and insert it into their database?
> What matters is your costs, that puts the bottom on the price, unless you want to burn cash for growth.

Ok, so in the situation you describe, what are your costs? If that's so important, why haven't you told us what it is?

> Your customers expectations are the ceiling.

Your customers' expectations are based on what they think the value of the product is to them, which is based on what they think the product can do for them. If your product is worth $1000 to a significant number of customers, it must be able to do valuable things for customers that products selling for $20 a unit just can't do. Tell your customers what those things are, and their expectations will change.

What is true is that the number of customers that can get $1000 of value from your product will be significantly less than the number that can get $20 of value from it. But it makes a big difference whether the first number is zero (or close enough to it to make no difference) or a significant fraction of the second number. Your hypothetical was that it's the latter.
The boom/bust cycle, which they don't have in China, means that anything capital intensive will be given back to the banks on the next down turn and resold to somebody else if a big fish doesn't acquire it between market crashes. That's why nobody builds capital intensive stuff that has a long term ROI, at least in this country.

For example, watch Tesla go broke and give all that beautiful capital they've built back to their creditors before this is all over. This doesn't happen in China, even though lots of companies have debts they haven't paid on in years because the government just buys the bad debts off the banks and the banks continue to lend.
