I literally said you can't challenge YouTube on first amendment grounds, because it doesn't work that way. I'm not sure how that is me misunderstanding anything. More like you both misunderstood me.

What I'm saying is YouTube is a monopoly. So if you say something on there that they don't like, and they censor you, you've been effectively silenced. What other video platform will you use to get your message out? Whatever you choose you won't reach nearly as many people. Should Google have that kind of power? I don't think so. They should be regulated and the government (and by extension the people who vote for it) should make those decisions, not a corporation.

I rarely use Ctrl+r to get command from history, because most of the time I know the starting characters of the command I need. So, I type those characters and use arrows keys to match from history. This is enabled via these settings in .inputrc

Ask HN: What is the desktop security model?
For some reason I have been thinking a lot about the "desktop security model" lately in comparison to the browser security model.

What stops spotify, or chrome, or any other desktop app that I install from reading my .ssh directory? I assume nothing, by default, since it's under the same user. Is there a long history or book about this subject that I don't know of? Is there a way to restrict disk access of an application by directory? Obviously, I understand how things have evolved from the early days of assuming installed software was benign. I'm not complaining, or shaming, or whatever, that developers didn't think of the threat model for desktop apps back then as we might if the concept of desktop apps came out today.

I am mostly just wondering if this problem has already been discussed and if there is a canonical approach to it. To give you a sense of why I think this is interesting, compare google search results for "desktop app security model" to "browser security model". The latter is formally (or "officially") defined.
I may have needed to be clearer, but coercion in response to coercion is self-defense. If someone physically forced their way to your property (if you'd let them, no violence will be needed), you have a right to defend yourself, and this should be enforced.
It just requires violence to enforce laws, it doesn't require a entity with a monopoly on violence.

Russian roulette might be an unfair comparison, but it may only be one order of magnitude different to this virus IFR.

With probability a number between 0 and 1, percentage is between 0 and 100.

From the study in your source [1] the P(death|infected) = 0.005
And Russian roulette P(death | play) = 0.16

In percentages:

Covid19 - IFR = 0.5%,
Russian roulette = 16%

From this calculation based on the recent New York antibody study [2] the average IFR across all age groups is 1.31%.
(0 + 0.017 + 0.067 + 0.13 + 0.45 + 1.26 + 3.16 + 5.4)/8 = 1.31%

This is a much higher IFR than flu or H1N1 (IFR was 0.02% in 2009, 65 times less).

The ggp made no mention at all of hospitalization rates, only fatality rates.
Airbnb must be making ZERO dollars right now. Wonder how long they can survive in this situation. They sure have a lot of funding but they were close to going public and returning money to their investors. If this continues they will need to raise more cash and that round is going to be severely discounted.

In general I am not sure how their business will pan out over the next year or so.

You seem to be focused on a scenario where we allow the virus to spread among all groups, but that was not GP's suggestion. GP's point is that we can pinpoint who is at high risk and who is not, but that was not the case for the Spanish flu. (You talk of age as if it's the only risk factor, but it's clearly not.)

Hospitals would only become overwhelmed if the virus were to spread rapidly among high risk groups. Not many low risk individuals will wind up needing hospitalization.

Lastly, it would be more constructive to the debate to link to data instead of asserting that data exist somewhere out there which support your point.
Biotech is hot in general and as the article says, the ones around Harvard were doing well. So investing 5m in one is not crazy. I'm sure he merely expected single or double digits return.

He got lucky to be an investor in one that hit it big. Stories are also about spectacular winners or losers. There are no story on all the investor that got normal returns last year.

I don't think !! can be too common an idiom when the one time I recall using it in a corporate setting it was pointed out as absurd. And I agree it's not explicit and clear. But this seems a matter of style.

Cast to bool has me extremely nervous because ... It works in C99's _Bool type, but I have lots of bad memories of security bugs when using this approach with pre-standard custom bool types, which are still in common use including but not limited to Win32 and COM, or Objective-C.

The bug I am thinking of looks like this:

long long ll = 1LL << 32;
bool b = ll;

puts(b ? "yes" : "no");

I just tested to confirm. This prints "yes" when using C99 stdbool, presumably because they standardized it to work. If you change bool to a common choice for pre-standard bool typedefs (int or char, say), it prints "no" because the large nonzero value doesn't fit in that type. "Just use the standard type" you might say. But if we were working somewhere that required legacy nonstandard bools that is not our choice, and further, a later refactor on may start using those other types some day even if we make the correct choice today. So there is an argument to be consistent about avoiding this type of bug.

It's exactly what the model giving us 2.2M deaths in the US with strict quarantine was doing. Extrapolating the cruise ship case of 1% death to 80% of the US. Parent math is actually more reasonable.
Yup, you got me. (US) The temp gauge on our outdoor grill is in Fahrenheit, so ~260C for the rest of the world. When I say grill, I'm talking a propane based patio cooking surface, with lid. One of these sorts of things:

The oven has the classic broiler, like you.
This also probably explains the high death rates on ventilators now as only the near death patients are being put on the ventilator now.
Probably equivalent to what you'd call a barbecue. Charcoal or gas fed, bottom heating, usually with a grated surface and outdoors. Though with proper ventilation you can use them indoors.

Some Americans will call it a barbecue too, but barbecue should really be equivalent to smoker.

They introduced these at the grocery store my wife and I frequent. We used them just once. As long as the lines aren't long, it seems just as quick to have the 2 checkout people (1 cashier, 1 bagger) do the work in a batch at the end, as opposed to fiddling around with bagging as you go.
Tennis certainly has a mind-game component, but it's smaller, I believe, because you're reacting intuitively, you simply don't have the time for mind games, unless those at the press conference where you tell everyone that you've barely been able to train.

> I don't see any "reaction time" available in RPS (considering equal in matter of body), and no way to predict the choice of the other one (as you stated) so similar to coin toss (you can't influence the choice of the opponent).

But you do have ways to predict the choice of your opponent. You "just" need to understand how they think. If you chose rock and they chose scissors, what will they choose next? Are they the type that figures "he will choose rock again, I'm going to pick paper", or are they thinking "he will try to mix it up and pic scissors because he thinks I'm going to react to rock by using paper, I'll take rock"?

If you played against a computer that just used a perfect random number generator, I'd agree with you. But you're playing a human, and they're terrible at being random.

It would be absolutely a game of luck if you played one game against one person without knowing who they are. But since, similar to Poker, you can learn over multiple rounds, the luck quickly fades. And apparently, if you're playing the odds, many people will start with certain choices, and they don't pick each choice at the same rate. There are quite a few articles (and books) out there, and they often mention the World Rock Paper Scissors Society, which also holds international tournaments.
I recently heard on a podcast (Planet Money or The Indicator, I think) that insiders generally don't do much better at beating the market. I think that is for the "average" case though. Sorry I don't have a citation.
The most important counterpoint is that the Stanford study cited there is really bad: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaw...

The more recent numbers from New York put the IFR at 0.5 to 1%, which matches what most organisations (WHO, governments etc) have been assuming for a couple of months now. Also the actual death count from NY makes the Stanford numbers pretty much impossible (0.2% of people in NYC have already died).
There was a belief between the 70s and early 90s that less economic security among workers would not only make them less likely to strike but would also shape them behaviorally so they’d be more likely to get (And stay) married and attend church while being less likely to have children out of wedlock, gamble, and participate in anti-social risky behavior. The thinking at the time was the American worker was soft and decadent - thanks in part by the unions - and that was the ultimate cause of the social changes, unrest and malaise from the previous and current decade.

It was a massive social engineering experiment that backfired spectacularly.

> what actually made their favourite guest language possible to exist.

maybe i'm arguing semantics, but i don't think it's fair to say that the JVM "made Clojure possible" -- that's like saying "C made Python possible because CPython is written in C".

iirc the JVM was chosen as a backend because that's what Clojure's creator had to work/interop with. and i think that's generally the case with "guest" languages -- there's an environment you want to write code for (JVM/ browser), but you don't want to use its "official" language (Java/JS), so you create a new language and adapt it to run there.

and sure, reusing the Java stdlib and other existing code can help bootstrap a language, no doubt about that, but it's a stretch to say it makes it "possible"

David Harvey: We Need a Collective Response to the Collective Dilemma of Covid
Not true, the point of the parent is that young people don't seem to die. For 0.1% dying, how many are going to the hospital? Let's say it's 10% (completely random number), if you increase the population then 10% completely overcrowds the hospitals, quality of care plummets and 0.1% becomes 5% (once again, completely random number).

> The point the parent was making is that young people don't seem to need hospital care.

Low risk doesn't mean no risk, and we see plenty of younger people in hospital, and in intensive care, because of covid-19.

Unregulated capitalism, their research suggests.

Opioids have few regulations on how much are prescribed. This ties in directly to the healthcare issue.

Private Prisons are run by using prisoners as workers for less than a dollar an hour. This is constitutionally legal. This means there is a financial incentive to imprison people.

Elections are influenced by corporate lobbying. The state works for businesses at least as much as it works for the people, but guess who gets first preference.

Healthcare is based on profit and not on saving lives. Self explanatory and this has been talked about countless times throughout the past 4 years.

Education I don't know much about.
Yep, I do think this specialization argument has a lot of merit, and re-reading my comment I think I downplayed it too much.

What I'm saying is: what if we rethink specialization on this front? What if we expect it to be part of everyone's job to have deep understanding of and context on the business? Recognizing that there are significant efficiencies in specialization that we lose with this approach, maybe it still comes out ahead. Maybe the improvement in decision making outweighs the inefficiencies introduced by requiring everyone to be a businessperson.

Personally, I think this is a really great way to run a business, if you can get broad buy in for it. The best places I've worked have been those that most closely approached this structure.

But I will admit that this is biased by having a personality where I neither want to be "just" an engineer, nor give up engineering entirely in order to be a businessperson. I think lots of engineers don't want the business stuff to be part of their job, and I guess I can understand that, even if I lament it.

One interesting question is: if everyone is acting with the business ownership mindset more commonly expected of managers, what are managers supposed to be doing? My answer is that front-line supervisor managers are there to support their reports, help them get and understand the information needed to make the right decisions. At the higher level, managers are there to make decisions on tough cross-team and cross-organizational trade-offs. At the very top level, they are there to set and communicate the overarching strategy of the business, which everyone else should be using to inform their own day to day decisions. I think there is plenty of that kind of work to be done, without expecting managers to be making the day to day decisions.
I downvoted this comment, but I'll take the time to explain why I despise comments like this, and why I think HN should remain an oasis without these types of comments.

I see this everywhere on places like FB, Twitter and Reddit where people take a single sentence or two and blatantly disregard its most obvious intended meaning, instead focusing on the words alone, with no context. I'm assuming you're imagining faces from the "first world problems" meme, crying that they don't have a college degree. Where a simpler and more generous explanation would be that people without a college degree have little hope of advancement in much of the US, and are stuck in dead-end jobs just at the time these jobs are becoming more precarious and lower paying, with a small health crisis all that is needed to drive one into bankruptcy.

So I think we should interpret the most obvious intended meaning, "deadly despair that arises from the lack of opportunity and stability from not having a college degree", instead of making a lame non-joke joke.

I have used a hack for this for years. And it seems to be very unknown.

If you want an element to have the aspect ratio 16:9 give it a parent div with width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative;

then just absolutely position the child element with width 100%; height:100%;

This works everywhere, even in IE8. I am happy I will not have to resort to this anymore in the future, but it will do for now.
