Yes, and this is why when the other party dominates at the local level, their governments and economies are seen as paragons of effectiveness like California's...

I find more and more, especially after the recent crisis, that the reality is our Democrats and Republicans have been fighting over meaningless ideals and have left things like impacting measurable outcomes in the dust. Each party is built around some kind of bull shit moral that defines the in/out groups and then cronyism wherever/however they can get it for their in group.
That doesn't make sense to me. I would think you'd want to get to the point where you've reached the carrying capacity, so that "overshoot" of the equilibrium doesn't result.
But it is documented and from the very beginning. If you look at this page https://github.com/pricing in the comparison table under Pages and Wiki it clearly says "Public repositories". I'm guessing you had a private one. I've also moved from Pro to Free Teams and I've seen this from the start.

I think you're misunderstanding the original point then

It definitely is a wealth extraction industry. This however doesn't mean that it shouldn't exist.

even in the best case scenario of the bank financing someone who starts producing products which he sells.. the banks job will only be to extract as much money they can get from this person.

As such, they're not producers.. they live off of them.

Nonetheless, there'd be less producers without the banks (at least short term), so they're also enablers. This makes them valuable. But still, they earn their money by extracting the value of someone else's product.

Which is fine if everybody is a willing participant...

Whoa, a double-tap attack
4chan was taking the virus seriously back in January, when the WHO was denying the need for travel lockdowns. The misinformation coming out of the WHO is what killed people, not the early warning that 4chan gave us.

Edit: note that in both replies to my comment, none of the specific facts I mentioned were responded to. The response of the countries is being blamed, the date I mentioned is being ignored; but I am comparing the information coming publicly out of the WHO in January to the information coming out of 4chan in January.

In hindsight, if you compared the information from both at that time, you would have had a better idea of the real situation if you believed 4chan over the WHO.
Tim - have you actually ever reped / managed distribution into retail at the moderate scale at least?

Do you have a reasonably high volume ($1M+ sales) amazon account to compare to?

I just ask because for such strong opinions "everything you're saying is 100% false" you don't seem like you have actually worked with businesses in this way.

Beleive it or not, you can actually talk to real human beings at your local retail stores. And yes, you can talk to real people at amazon, but if issue is outside their box (on seller side) you get little mercy. If inside box some of the treatment is amazing (amazon payments for goods they show as lost by them as a sale with no return risk)
Also known as "worse is better" software. Create a program that is as small as possible, fast, simple in implementation, and reliable. Then build more on top of that.

You've been posting these for months. We investigated and found nothing. The last time you did this, I responded in detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22761642.

Unfortunately, the person who has been abusing HN here is you. You've broken the site rules by posting groundless allegations. You've used multiple accounts to do it. You've barraged us with emails using multiple identities. When we've responded with what we found, you've become aggressive. You've even made up false statements about what I've said on the topic, including here.

We have no special interest in Tailscale. Our job is to protect HN. As far as I can tell from the data, HN's interest in Tailscale is organic. Presumably that's because the people involved with the company are known to the community from their previous projects and writings. That's this place functioning normally.
Your argument is specious. I said that the measures in place 2 years from now won't be the same as the ones we have now, not that things will simply be "less restrictive". Maybe they will be, maybe they won't. The reason they aren't different now is that it takes time to adapt. The reason we don't simply reduce restrictions right now is that doing so will kill people.
Asus TUF A15 laptop review: AMD's Ryzen 4000 is a groundbreaking mobile CPU
> It's not censorship if you can prove it's bullshit.

If you think that you can prove any of the assertions at issue here one way or another, you are illustrating the problem.

For instance whether masks are worthwhile PPE is a highly complex issue and no definitive proof is available as to the correct policy across a wide variety of contexts. Yet YouTube is saying, if WHO claims it, nobody can refute that claim on their platform.

The same goes for the WHO's claims that eating seed oils and avoiding saturated fats is better for immunological health. This is a very controversial issue, and to simply rule out any contradiction on it can cause a lot of suffering if the WHO is wrong.

Whether this is censorship or not it makes YouTube a less valuable forum, and tends to protect official dicta from authorities as fallible as anyone else.
I am not aware of any other country that asks their doctors to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for their license and are required to work 80+ hour weeks into their early 30s.

And someone with the intelligence and drive to become a doctor in the US can easily earn $100k per year for 40 hours per week in their 20s if not more, so the lost income alone is a minimum $500k, on top of hundreds of thousands in debt.

It all doesn’t make sense unless you come out making $200+ per hour.
You also have to adjust for the people who are already sick but haven't died yet. That would likely get you somewhere between 1 and 1.5%. So for herd immunity in the US at 200,000,000 recovered, that would be 2 to 3 million. That's consistent with earlier projections.
An IFR of 0.6%, with 2/3 of the US infected (about what you'd need for herd immunity at an R0 of 3), means ~1.3 million deaths. That's well in line with the models. The distinction between CFR and IFR was not news to the experts.
Oh hellz no! I was just a consumer. Lots and lots of people use the process files for all kinds of modeling (hundreds of models). And every time a new one comes out we all spend a month switching over to it... and another month explaining to our bosses why everything got worse!

The people in charge of the model need to be very smart, very diplomatic, and very thick-skinned because every release they have literally hundreds of managers and project leads screaming at them.
I think the actual point people try to make with that rhetorical question is that no one can be trusted not to abuse that power.
Disclaimer: I work for Google as a senior developer advocate for Anthos.
If you are a hands-on dev (probably the majority of people here), even if you help feed information to the C-suite, I can definitely see how the article probably comes across as "marketing speak" for you.

However, I do want to note that having had the opportunity to sit in a number of customer meetings with very large enterprise customers and listen to our VP in conversations with their senior executive leadership, her article is intended to address concerns in a way that resonates with them. This article targets executive decision makers who need to commit enormous resources to long term strategies and it is important for them to hear in a language they understand that they will have enough flexibility to solve existing as well as evolving and shifting needs in the long run.

Many customers are trying to navigate their way to a successful modernization path that gives them the ability to run their workloads where they need to, helps them to apply modern best practices, and gives them unified management, monitoring, and compliance and auditing controls. Many of them are on prem and have VMware licenses right now, or have already begun implementing some kind of hybrid cloud strategy, or are even considering multi-cloud approaches.

For those of you looking for more practical information, we hear you. We were already preparing to launch new content directly targeted for developers to give you a direct, hands-on experience with Anthos using live clusters and a running application as part of Next.

Unfortunately due to changing conditions, we had to take a phased approach to communicating this as part of moving everything to completely digital formats. However, the good news is that you will be able to explore Anthos on Google Cloud for yourself and I'm really looking forward to sharing those details very soon.
There's more about this in an Atlantic article:

> One of the oldest descriptions of a pregnancy test comes from ancient Egypt, where women who suspected they were pregnant would urinate on wheat and barley seeds: If the wheat grew, they believed, it meant the woman was having a girl; the barley, a boy; if neither plant sprouted, she wasn’t pregnant at all. Avicenna, a 10th-century Persian philosopher, would pour sulfur over women’s urine, believing that the telltale sign was worms springing from the resulting mixture. In 16th-century Europe, specialists known as “piss prophets” would read urine like tea leaves, claiming to know by its appearance alone whether the woman who supplied it was pregnant.

actually normal tab wasnt.. i was a little surprised
Googles search I decentralized. It may be centrally organized/ruled whatever but operational it's decentralized. Also it's not the only web search so web search in general in not centralized and the only real SPOF that could globally take down web search is the internet itself/DNS and all that stuff that could global break.

You try really hard to intentional misunderstand me so I won't reply any further.
Like I said it my first post "It solves a niche problem for cyperliberalism" all your arguments go straight in that direction. The real world don't care. And no I don't like that but I accept it as a fact. You probably should too.
I see similar issues from a lot of Arch users tbh. There seems to be a lot of posturing of being a more advanced user, when thats not always the case. I once saw someone confidently explain that their drive device was /dev/nvme instead of /dev/sda because its an arch thing.

I've tried one such "hardcore" distro once (Crux to be exact) and while it was fun for a while, I also wasted a lot of time. Nowadays, I just stick Ubuntu Flavor (am actually running Lubuntu right now) because everything works mostly out of the box. Yes, I know it has its own set of problems, but I have different priorities. I dont particularly care if I get labeled a noob for it.
When my first child was born, I packed up the darkroom because I couldn't afford to set aside several hours in a shot for printing. Went to digital and it basically killed the love of photography for me. It's just too easy to take too many pictures, and then you're stuck spending hours and hours in photoshop or lightroom. I still have thousands of images that I need to cull through and sort. Probably never will.

While I've gotten rid of most of my equipment, I still have my old 4x5 and I've been thinking of just making contact prints. Probably start this summer! Wish me luck.
As they should. Nurse practitioners should not be let anywhere without supervision from a real doctor.

No, the whole thing is plain bs.
My theory: Prime, and its 2-day shipping service, is a flat rate deal, priced according to 10.5 normal months and 1.5 batshit crazy delivery months. Since they can't charge on a demand basis for shipping like FedEx can, they've run into an internal train wreck where they can't afford to deliver all the orders the've received. So their bottleneck is actually a bottleneck of budgeted "delivery slots" for these Spring months, which they've excused as being "due to essential items only, can't keep up with demand."

I've noticed something that I found extremely curious: I've ordered several random things in the last month from Amazon, and all have been severely delayed. These are not surge items: drumsticks, a guitar wall hanger, and an APC ups. All were Prime items, and all have been severely delayed, waiting weeks now. I get it, they are 'focusing on essential items' and my guitars will be fine to wait a while longer. However...

I have not noticed many Prime delivery vans out in the neighborhood. During the holidays, Prime vans are everywhere. Today, they are not. Last mile shipping is one of those businesses that gets gloriously efficient with scale. Bezos announced that 100,000 person hire a few weeks back, which I assumed would be rehiring their holiday surge subcontractors. But few vans on the streets today.

Finally, what essential items does Amazon have in stock that is overtaking their delivery supply chain?
Seriously, you should store wiki pages as .md files in a /wiki folder in your repo, regardless of your git repo hosting provider. I'm positive wiki pages are stored in a separate git repo alongside your code, anyway.

The more that lives in the codebase itself, the better -- ideally this would not only include wiki pages, but also issues, comments, PR threads, etc.
It's becoming a recurring pattern in newer languages that number literals are their own magical type (usually backed by a bigint or bigfloat) that only coerce into a concrete type when they first come into contact, so to say, with a typed variable or expression.
My very point. It contaminates people at a slower pace, for that reason and cross immunity, higher R0, etc.
Proper cooling requires thick laptop. Take a look at mobile workstations or high end gamer laptops. They are not thin, but their cooling is more adequate (although still not on tower level). There's no way to fool physics and combine good cooling, thin design and quiet fans, you have to compromise on something.

> Misinformation is killing people.

How many? I don't think it's very many.
kjust to be clear, this is just what friends have told me, this is the communal we, I do not work in a hospital.
"... and call us back with the phone number on the back of your credit card and use code "12345" to get directed back to me immediately."
There's not much evidence that infection dose matters in terms of case severity either, other than you're just less likely to be infected in the first place.
Not sure why so many people think it's good for Google and Facebook to be able to control the flow of information on the internet.
Well, sort of. The increase in likelihood of being sampled due to going to the store N times more than the average person is a function of N and P (the probability of being sampled in any given trip) such that

f(N, P): (1 - ((1-P)^N)) / P

For a large P you're right, but as P gets very small (let's say that in any given trip you have a 0.01% chance of being sampled) then the increase in likelihood of being sampled approaches N times as much (in this example, it would be 6.999 times as likely). Of course, this assumes they're taking measures to ensure no one gets sampled twice.
This was also true for me on a 2012 MBP (on HDMI and DisplayPort iirc).

My XPS 15 had a similar issue where turning on the GPU made it heat up and become loud - actually the discrete GPU offered no performance increase because the heat made everything throttle....... sad! At least I could use an external monitor with that one though.

It's just a limitation of the laptop form factor. My desktop has a 45 watt processor, same as the i7s, and it has a huge block of metal and a 120mm fan to keep it cool quietly (but still audible under load). There's no way to fit a 45w CPU and 45w GPU into a laptop and make it work.
> _"nah... I don't want any changes, I'd rather keep myself and the world vendorlocked into proprietary software"_

People don't have a problem changing if the change doesn't break their work(flows). The fact that Internet Explorer is pretty much dead proves it - everyone switched to Chrome although is different.

MS Office document format support is simply not good enough on any alternative (of which Libre Office is the only serious contender).

I have tried to switch to Libre Office on multiple occasions over the years, but every time I gave up after couple of weeks of frustration, because I couldn't collaborate on shared documents. Either the stuff I created in Libre Office looked different when others open it in MS Office, or I was breaking the documents for other people.

I don't consider MS Office to be better - it's simply that the alternatives are not compatible.
> If this study is accurate, then 1.8 million NYC resident are infected. So 10 290 deaths (as of today) suggests COVID-19 has a fatality rate of 0.6%

No, it doesn't, because the usual time to death, if it causes death, isn't zero, so you need to compare the number of deaths a couple weeks from now with the number of infections today to get a closer-to-accurate number.

Also, you are using the 10,290 confirmed deaths and i
ignoring the 5,121+ additional identified probable COVID-19 deaths. So, between those two things, the actual fatality rate if the current infection estimate from this study is right is probably 2-3 times the figure you cite.
R0 varies hugely. The R0 for highly connected people meeting others regularly, will be far higher than the R0 for people who only leave the house once a week. The R0 in a crowded prison will be far higher than the R0 of rural farm owners.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/who-says-coronavirus-death-r...

I mean there were articles like this all of march. I'm not saying the WHO or CDC might of said something different but lets acknowledge there were articles proclaiming a 3% death rate.
Is there a link to the study where they got the 70%? If they used a group with a 50% of pregnant women then 70% is not too much. Also it would be nice to know the number of women to estimate the error in the 70%. *If they had 10 women in total and they get the right result in 7, it is not impressive at all.)

Also, the weeks of pregnancy are important. This test is useful proably in before the week 6, but I think the homones level change with time.
> Can't get why some users don't like the change. You're free to decide should you use a product or not.

Some people aren't quitters. They don't just quit whenever something stops going their way, they try to change it, try to improve it, try to make it better, even if the only way they have to do that is express why its not best.

Be more like them.

It depends how aggressively Google pushes on it, and how carefully they verify the actual identity of the entities putting ads up.
I believe it's equivalent to working in a basis that diagonalizes the matrix rather than working in the standard one. Much easier to work with.

A reasonable point. But I am worried about the day that those who seek more power are able to convince people that we are in a sustained exceptional situation that is not really all that exceptional. And with private entities doing their bidding to clamp down on dissenting voices, that could become even more possible.

I don't think we are there yet, but we should be wary of that possibility.

That's a procurement and implementation problem.

I'm a government developer. I can easily see how our bureaucracy leads to the Phoenix pay system. It is less a vetocracy and more about an overload of features.
If money is already an issue, why would I want to give you a cut?

There isn’t a charity in existence that could’ve provided even close to the amount of support needed to support major parts of the world (2.7bln in quarantine) population to date, to say nothing of what they will need in the future. Governments are the only proven way of handling truly large scale issues like defense and national health.

Americans in particular depend on charities for services because domestic spending has been recklessly and cruelly slashed for at least the last 40 years. Depending on unaccountable and nebulous organizations and random billionaires for critical services is the opposite of personal freedom.
As an amateur and untalented photographer, my results have benefited a lot from being able to shoot hundreds of photos and maybe get a single composition I'm proud of. Exposure, contrast etc has always been flexible to a point.

However, I really miss my bedroom darkroom from when I was 16-19.

Sheets pegged over the window, rags taped roughly over the door edges. Good enough for B&W print with a red dull light, but still had to load my rolls inside a hot and sweaty duvet cover because otherwise the negatives would get clouded in my ghetto setup. A £20 used enlarger bought from the local classifieds, a rough bench built with planks and rough-cut legs, nails and glue.

Got some great prints. Not many. Miss those days. I still have my Olympus OM2SP, best Camera I have ever used.

There's something to be said for knowing you only have a limited number of shots, and using another roll will cost money and real effort to develop. Makes you stop and think, in my opinion.

On the flip side, my entire "career" with 35mm I got 4 prints that I still love uncritically. My digital career has given me about 50 that I am happy to pay to have printed and put on the wall.
Lots of people were seriously suggesting >3%.

Also,

I don't the flu's fatality is calculated against every exposed to the flu but against everyone who gets sick with the flu. If the flu also 50% asymptomatic exposed individuals, that would know it's fatality rate down further for comparison's sake.
