> We also include more probabilistic, generic, or environmental checks that look for deviations from the known good for iOS. These are based on our deep knowledge of iOS and use little-noticed side channels to report information about iOS to the iVerify mobile app. These can possibly detect unknown jailbreaks.

Does this differ significantly from existing jailbreak detection tools, like checking for suspicious-looking files on disk, address-space scans for unexpected code and invalid signatures, and lower-level APIs having different behavior?
The hospitals I'm familiar with have VIP suites for the "haves". The only difference is everyone else gets into a lifetime of debt now too. Ability to afford medication and insurance is a question that is brought up during liver transplant panels. An alcoholic physician, politician, or celebrity is much more likely to get an organ transplant than any other alcoholic. Inequality of health is still rife here.
Or they would become harder to find when there are too many of them. For example, it's probably easier to find one thing among 3 than among 1 million.

Hi HN - I’m one of the team working on Covid Act Now. We’re hoping this API is a useful input into COVID efforts (response planning, reopening initiatives, data visualization, etc).

Our model is only scoped to the USA (I wish we could include more countries, as this is a global pandemic. We haven’t had the time to expand yet).

I’m sure the API could be improved in the next version. For example, we had some lively discussion around whether OBSERVED_INTERVENTION was intuitive enough variable name. (It uses an inferred R0 based on actual observed deaths, cases, and hospitalizations to generate forward projections).

If you have any feedback, let us know and we’ll try and make it better in V2.
Speaking of today's situation, that's straightforward. Fewer infections in the population in general, lower probability that an elder care worker in a given facility gets infected and goes to work contagious without their knowledge. Once that happens, game over.

This effect is evident just from different death rates per capita in countries that have similar demographic and housing situations, e.g. between the Scandinavian countries.
I cannot imagine this covers access issues. There are a great number of communities without wealthy people near them.

I ripped the CD of bookshelf as a MDF

https://archive.org/download/MicrosoftBookshelf1991/msbooksh...

Since it wasn't mounting for me either with the physical disc, or the image... I passed the drive under Qemu and MS-DOS read it fine.

The whole thing was... Strange in that I can't get these old discs to mount. Although they read fine. strange.

It was really fun taking these old CD-ROM's disc images, and actually manipulating the data. I didn't expect to get anything and I was really surprised that it worked.
At a previous employer, I was forced to use a certain 3rd party ODBC library. Under certain circumstances, it would just do `exit(1)`, with nothing even to stderr. Very frustrating and annoying to debug/fix. Had I physically known the developer responsible for that behavior, I'd probably have faced murder charges and plead temporary insanity.
> I think we could (probably) sharply increase the rate of innovation...

As long as we're looking at deeply held assumptions, it's probably also a good idea to figure out what the ideal pace of innovation is. None is certainly bad, but too fast also causes problems for people: technological products are expensive and will be shorter-lived as innovation speeds up. At some point, the cost to society of all that churn probably balances against the benefits.
When I was working in academia, I had an advisor who used to tell me: "just do good work and you will find a TT position". Never found one, despite the objectively good work I published. Not even an interview. Tremendously bad advice that came from a place of laziness.
As a manager, I like it when my reports ask for reasonable promotions or greater work responsibilities: it shows confidence, self-reflection, pro-activeness. All traits I value quite a bit.

The Untold Story of the Birth of Social Distancing
I'm a Windows user, so I consider myself lucky that it works at all. :) As a class, we have been conditioned not to expect or demand too much from command-line utilities from the Unix family tree.

I'm basically looking to maintain the same functionality that was available under DOS with Borland's Turbo Grep in the late 1980s. Those old DOS function calls are still emulated in Win32 as far as I know, but a current implementation would normally use FindFirstFile / FindNextFile like so:

C8 name_buffer[MAX_PATH];

strcpy(name_buffer,dir_buffer); // directory to scan, if not CWD
strcat(name_buffer,filespec); // MS-DOS style filespec with optional * and/or ? wildcards (obviously use snprintf, etc. for this, not strcpy/strcat)

HANDLE search_handle;
WIN32_FIND_DATA found;

search_handle = FindFirstFile(name_buffer, &found);

if (search_handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
do
{
if (found.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
{
continue;
}

strcpy(name_buffer, dir_buffer);
strcat(name_buffer, found.cFileName);

// name_buffer now indicates a single file
// which can be opened with fopen or
// CreateFile or whatever

}
while (FindNextFile(search_handle, &found));

FindClose(search_handle);
}

There's probably already some code like this in the area of the program that's used to implement the -g mechanism for types. The latter seems a bit overengineered when I'm just looking for wildcard expansion, but I can see it being useful in a lot of cases. It just shouldn't be the only way to constrain the file set, IMO. A new syntax isn't expected or desired, at least not by me, as long as the old one works.
One thing is missing from this discussion that needs to be understood: the Swedish government and related agencies generally do not do things based on common sense.

This may sound ridiculous, but in most cases, it's not. Common sense is wrong so often. The view of the Swedish government is that they are not more intelligent than the citizens. Unless things can be scientifically proved, the individual rights of citizens should not be restricted.

This permeates a lot of public policy in Sweden; I recently had reason to investigate to what extent maternal/neonatal care followed the best of our scientific knowledge and it was extremely close. If you think that's a given, think again. Many countries base their maternal/neonatal care on common sense and old wives' tales instead.

Both approaches are valid, but they are different. With policy based on common sense, you accept that you occasionally (often?) force something wrong on the public, potentially against their better knowledge. With policy based on strong evidence, you are more rarely wrong, but you also get way fewer opportunities to force things on the public, simply because there are so few things we truly know to be true. Doubly so during a novel pandemic.
Why did it need to be a bank to begin with? Are banks involved when the government hands out low interest loans for natural disasters. Do they take cuts from that money? If so, I've never heard of it before. What about the 9/11 fund? Did banks get a cut of that money as well? Why is this situation different?

Thanks a lot!

Point noted.
> Can anyone prove it?

The burden of proof is on you to show that they did not earn it.

> Do they need it?

Irrelevant. It's theirs whether they need it or not. And whether they need it is not for you to decide.

> Is a CEO with … billions in the bank more worthy of life than the guy working in the mines…?

No, they are equally worthy of life. Which has nothing at all to do with how much wealth each of them has earned. In any case these CEOs are rare outliers; as rich as they are, if you took all their assets combined and diluted them evenly among the rest of the population nothing would materially change, at least in the short term. In the long term, since you'd no longer have competent individuals administering things, the economy would implode and everyone would be far worse off.

What, you thought corporate shareholders hired CEOs and offered them huge salaries for administering their companies at a loss? The difference they make in the company's bottom line far exceeds their pay.

Moreover, if you actually liquidated those billions of dollars worth of shares in order to fund consumption then
the companies and the productive capital they represent would rapidly cease to exist. Those few of us who survive can look forward to a bare subsistence standard of living in exchange for long, hard days of manual labor in the fields. But at least we'd all be equally poor, right?

> What about the mogul who raises essentials prices during a crisis?

Raising prices on scarce goods during a crisis is economically and socially productive. It ensures that these essentials will be saved for the situations where they are actually needed most and incentivizes the production of more essentials. If you hold prices low and pretend that it's just business-as-usual then you're going to end up with shortages.

> Or the traffickers running prostitution rings?

That's what the courts are for. But you'll have to prove it, not just throw around vague accusations.

> Can you make sure that only the people who earned their money can have it?

Guilty until proven innocent? That's not how this works.

> The point of UBI is to not have to ask or try to answer these sorts of questions.

That isn't really the point of UBI, and even if it were it wouldn't be a laudable goal. Solving the perceived problem of unequal outcomes at the expense of justice is not a trade worth even a moment's consideration—even if UBI actually had a chance of accomplishing that, which it doesn't.
Most new tech is of this form. https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/news/smartglasses.html uses something like <5uW or something crazy low. If the hardware caps out at a safe power, you'll probably be fine.
I think Apple are shipping their AR hardware, mostly anyway. The iPhone and iPad are it, modulo enhancements like LIDAR. I really don’t see Apple bringing out a headset. I’m not even sure it’s a technology problem. People just don’t want to walk around with cameras and LIDAR and goofy goggles on their faces, not at Apple scale anyway, possibly ever. It’s a fundamentally flawed concept. Specialist applications sure. Mainstream, one in every home? I don’t see it.

Wow, okay. You alright over there?

Edit, because meh: I'm making no claims about go itself. No idea what makes you think that's what I'm saying, since I'm clearly talking about a library, and not even any stdlibs. "Magic" is just a term useful for describing systems that sweep much of their abstractions under the carpet in a way that probably has gotchas. Granted, the term itself is magical.

In terms of fixing the problem, I knew for a fact that the keepalives that I was seeing were nothing like what I've seen in the past, at many companies, across Oracle, postgres, and MySQL, all who've implemented "SELECT 1" for the sake keep alives, by devs who've been in the field for much longer than me. The suggestion was by no means blind, unless you consider implementing a widely used method for this exact purpose, "blind". Had I gone a different route in fixing the problem within the stable, existing system, it would have likely broken many of the other database connections by many teams. I'll pass on that, since frankly, even ignoring the risk of such a change, the dev should have done the investigation themselves.

Your post was unnecessarily aggressive and seems to come from me having struck a nerve somehow.
Genuinely hoping you're doing alright. Peace.
You have a lot of misconceptions going on here.

First, bitcoin is not a good store of value, that was just a propaganda line that was fed to people when it was obvious the transaction throughout was being artificially constrained. Crypto currency is much too new and volatile (not just price, but ecosystem and laws) to make a claim like that.

Second, there is going to be no medium of exchange as no one is going to buy into something that has inflating your money away at 7% as its selling point. That's nonsense.

Also people absolutely care that the US dollar inflates, but there are deflationary forces as well, so how much isn't always clear. In any event, people use USD because they have essentially no choice, and anyone who understands inflation doesn't keep their savings as USD. People don't use the currency of their country because they chose it, they use it because they have to to survive.

With crypto currency people have a choice, and no one is going to choose 7% inflation. There is no connection between inflation of a currency and how well it works as a medium of exchange. I think you are getting confused with inflation increasing the velocity of an economy, which only happens with respect to people without savings spending on essentials.

Thanks for your response.

I love Lisps (especially Racket and Clojure) so let me just be clear that I am not going to argue that one is "better" than the other.

> library support is very good

That depends mostly on the implementation. SWI Prolog has a decent number of libraries available. Tau Prolog can interoperate with JavaScript.

> Prolog is not a general purpos programming language

I've made a HN clone in SWI Prolog. You can represent HTML as lists, like you would in many Lisps. In some sense, Prolog can occasionally feel more general purpose because you don't need a separate language (like SQL) for your database.

> but you have to write relations and queries which are then resolved by SLD.

That is true, yet in some sense this is like stating about Scheme that "you have to write functions which are then evaluated". Yep, you have to do that but it doesn't mean the language can't be used for X.

> there is abundance of tutorials, books and people supporting it.

Yup, I dig SICP, The Little Schemer and Rich Hickey's talks. When it comes to Prolog, Markus Triska's presentations are amazing[0].

If it was all about which language has the most books written about it, I'd worry that the "winner" would be Java. (I haven't particularly enjoyed the books I've read about Java though.)

> supports any paradigm

I'm not sure that is necessarily a good thing. JavaScript kinda does this, and I feel like I can never tell if a function or method call is pure or mutates something. Does `foo.sort()` modify `foo` itself, or does it just return an a sorted collection of the elements in `foo`?[1]

I also find it confusing in Common Lisp that `sort` is destructive[2]. I think Clojure fares better there by sticking to immutability.
