Klein conflates vetos by many small minorities with slight supermajority rules. That you can't build in SF w/o satisfying a thousand parties extracting their pound of flesh is very different than the 60% de-filibuster. Giving 51% majorities unhindered power is not the answer.
The city itself actually estimates a total of 15,411 deaths so far the the figure is already closer to 0.9%, and there are still people dying in the city every day so will likely end up a bit higher (of course, all of this assuming the study actually represents reality).

That lower-bound argument is overly simplistic.

There are huge error bars on that ratio, because "the population of NYC" is not something easily defined, and the death count (at this time) includes a lot of "excess deaths" that almost certainly have nothing to do with the virus (e.g. untreated cardiac arrest).
The confidence intervals are wide enough it wouldn't be very useful. If you sample 1000 people and get 0 positives, the 95% confidence interval is 0% - 0.36%. If you're the governor of Illinois, with a population of 12.67 million people, that upper bound equates to 45,612 people: far, far too many to handle with contact tracing and isolation. So you need to look to other metrics to make the decision about whether to issue or revoke a stay at home order.

So what are they looking at? Basically, if they have any evidence of community transmission, they need to issue the order or keep it in place. That means that if there are too many symptomatic people to even attempt contact tracing, you're not even close. Once you're low enough you can do contact tracing, you wait until you have a handful at most of symptomatic people you can't trace back to a known case. Until then, all you can do is keep the stay at home order in place, buy/beg/borrow/steal ventilators and PPE, and build testing and contact tracing capacity.
Even if homomorphic encryption was practical, you would need hardware to decrypt that would have to be either on the cloud oron premise.

I use both macOS and Windows, and text looks fine to me in both, and I know I am sensitive to this because I got crazy trying to get it working a few years ago in Linux and once fighting with ClearType. But in Windows 10 out of the box, never had an issue.

The problem you describe is probably old applications which haven’t been properly updated to support hi-res. If they do custom drawing or controls or frameworks, Windows cannot do anything to fix it.
Is it really surprising? Apple is all about marketing - they just want you to think you've got really fast hardware, it doesn't actually have to work properly. 99% of users aren't doing anything that actually taxes the CPU all that much so nobody is going to complain.
> Further, I'm not really sure how we're supposed to reevaluate "we." That's a neat soundbite, but what does that mean? What are you suggesting we actually do? Alter the electorate? Split the union?

There's no need to split the Union if we just follow the US Constitutions as the Framers intended: a Union of States with powers broadly vested in the States (see: the 9th and 10th Amendments).

The more we take out of the purview of the Federal government and the more we allow States the leeway to enact whatever systems they wish (democratically), the more the States coexist harmoniously. The United States begins to look like the European Union.

They address that somewhat in the discussion section:

> C++ provides many features for more explicit memory management than is possible with reference counting. For example, it provides allocators [35] to decouple memory management from handling of objects in containers. In principle, this may make it possible to use such an allocator to allocate temporary objects that are known to become obsolete during the deallocation pause described above. Such an allocator could then be freed instantly, removing the described pause from the runtime. However, this approach would require a very detailed, error-prone analysis which objects must and must not be managed by such an allocator, and would not translate well to other kinds of pipelines beyond this particular use case. Since elPrep’s focus is on being an open-ended software framework, this approach is therefore not practical.
Option 2 can be the most realistic, depending on the outcome of the currently-going clinical trials. There quite a bunch closing by June (although most of these are on repurposed drugs, and with not too large sample sizes).

Not the original poster but the iPhone 5 had a 1440 mAh battery while the iPhone 11 has more than double that with a 3110 mAh battery. For comparison, iPhone 5 was rated at 10 hours video playback while the iPhone 11 is rated at 17. So ballpark guess, that hybrid version would have ~8 hours video playback compared to the iPhone 5's 10.

Rough numbers all around, especially since battery usage is largely driven by the display, RAM, and CPU.

Education is limited to things we know. It's a knowledge transfer. In areas where there is no prior knowledge, education isn't a fix. Also, prior knowledge can be contested with new knowledge and then change to a hopefully more correct version. It is this process that gets exploited by fake news. Take the example of Napoleons height. In school I learned that he was of a small stature. In recent years I've heard (read on Wikipedias list of common misconceptions) that this was in fact false, he was average height and only appeared small because he was often seen next to someone who was unusually large. So now what am I going to make of Napoleons height? I can't easily confirm the truth and it doesn't really matter anyway, so suddenly I realize that I never had true knowledge about his height. It's the same with other things that I were thought. I realize most of it is just what someone told me and not real knowledge. This reflects pretty much the majority of my education and I think I now understand Socrates a little better: "I know that I know nothing".

So no, education isn't a silver bullet. It's just a nice sounding word for "things I've been told by other people". It doesn't really help me differentiate between what's the truth and what isn't. So once there are two ideas, like "Napoleon was a short person" and "Napoleon was of average height" I'm lost. Either could be true and I don't have the free time to get to the bottom of every single thing I once thought I knew.

Getting you to browse your computer for 10-20 minutes and then log into your bank account could be enough to gain access to your account.

Do people writing frontend apps really care that much about performance that they'd be willing to switch to Rust? Honest question.
You got me thinking, so I went back to the report. The victim's call to the bank is something of a red herring, in that the scammers neither need the victim to make that call, nor to know that he did so (and I assume they did not know that.) I am guessing that the bank texted the code to the victim's phone in response to the call made by the fraudulent team, who were just hoping that he would read it back to them... which he did.

The victim unfortunately assumed, on verifying that the bank had a second call, supposedly to himself, in progress, that the bank had placed that call and that it was in fact the call he had received on the first phone.

> The majority of WHO controversies are made up, the WHO are not a political entity so they do not want to comment at all on political issues; and whatever you want to say about Taiwan it is a very heated political situation.

They make overt political statements all the time. For one: calling Taiwan racist when it took issue with the WHO’s inaction after their attempts to disseminate health information.

Then Tedros calling travel bans “stigmatic.” Precisely when travel bans were needed at the onset of the spreading.

If WHO is supposed to be apolitical, it shouldn’t be parroting Chinese talking points.
Apps need to be updated to enable proper hi-res, yes, but that is not Windows' fault if Wolfram does not do so.

The problem is that Windows has way better backwards compatibility, while Apple routinely kills old tech. So app developers have to keep up, which is good for the user.

On the other hand, of course, you can still run very old apps in Windows, while Apple does not even support 32-bit, modern OpenGL or Vulkan.
it is more like would the 20% population go to the hospital if they suspected they had the flu

if they did the hospitalizations would rise as well

one reason the hospitalizations are falling has less to do with the numbers of cases and more with doctors ability to better tell who might need it.

Banks definitely seize your money. When I was a young teenager my parents encouraged me to put my lawn mowing money in a bank account. I had a total of $100.00! We went over to Bank of America and I opened up an account and deposited my hard earned cash. A month or two later I tried to withdraw some cash and was told I had no money. My full $100.00 had been consumed by insufficient balance fees.

A valuable if painful lesson to learn. I still do all my personal banking with a credit union and consider my relationship with banks to be adversarial. They only own my debt, never my cash.

Infrastructure in Germany seem to be in good shape. What exactly would you want them to build in addition?
It turns out jobs happen to exist in cities throughout the country. Almost all of them in fact. Families are also able to move as a unit if so desired. Otherwise, there's always travel back to them or the use of widely available free services for keeping in touch.

Moving is not particularly expensive and if in so doing, as under this proposed scenario of moving to places with better QoL or economies, could in fact be a net positive financially for the individual/family moving (ie an investment).

It should also be noted that this already happens today and not so much so be the wealthy for whom moving actually is much less important. Take a look at net migration stats throughout the country: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2017/demo/geographic-mobi...

This idea that "only the wealthy" (how is this even defined??) have the autonomy to do anything is so played out in today's political discussions. It's a trope used without thought to the idea being proposed. No consideration given except that something might cost money and is therefore only doable by some abstract group of wealthy people.
> Does that include building the wall, privatizing social security, eliminating the income tax, or implementing school choice? When you live in a country where one side just wants to undo the policies of the other, there's a deeper problem.

I'm not sure I fully grasp your point, but yes we absolutely should allow this. Voters need to personally experience the impact of voting for different parties in order for them to make better choices. The median voter isn't informed, or educated enough to be able to gather, and evaluate between different party platforms in any other way.
It's been a slow closing door with access on PC without accounts. They've slowly been rolling back access for years now on the PC side. This is the door finally being closed and latched. I'm sure they believe it will up conversion and increase growth, but I don't think it will.

Twitter has been closing their door for a long time, but I wonder if they ever will?

This amazes me it's so much easier at that scale to deal with 6-10 boxes vs all the crap that comes with AWS. Don't want to deal with managing them there are companies that will do it for you and you will have an actual on call people that are accountable to you. Unless you are doing 6+ figures a month in AWS spend have fun trying to have same level of service.
Does it look sleek? Shut up and take my money.
At least if you heard the statements of my government (Italy) from a couple weeks ago, they were hoping (or so the press said) to "reduce infections to zero".

Since then, quite obviously, they backtracked from those statements.

But why? Nobody is forcing you to use AWS, there in fact heaps of similar services around which at first glance don't share have said problem.

Agree. They are a monopoly, and cannot be allowed to function like any old hosting platform.

The WHO was wrong on many occasions during this pandemic. They said it couldn't or was hard to transmit between people - meanwhile, it was spreading everywhere and Taiwan tried to warn them.

They said we should not shut down international travel from China. Wrong again. Taiwan and a few others did and it helped out immensely.

Appealing to human authority as the source of truth is dangerous. For humans, truth only has a chance to come out when vigorous debate is allowed.

EDIT: adding references as requested.

Don't cut off quotes mid sentence:

> There’s huge lie (by omission) about renewables: nobody explained how to convert the world to 100% renewable energy without coal backup.

Because not everywhere in the world has access to hydroelectric power. The point remains: there is no plan to power the world with renewables without a fossil fuel backup. At least not any feasible plan - batteries don't scale, and the Sabatier processes has well below 50% round trip efficiency.
And good ol' gerrymandering and voter suppression helps solidify that 5.5%.
Everyone loves to compare doctor salaries between the US and the UK, but they fail to compare the salaries for other professional roles. These kinds of jobs often pay the same 1.75-2x premium comparing the two countries. They also fail to compare doctor salaries with other countries like Canada, Switzerland, and Australia which also pay similar absolute amounts to physicians in the US. Doctor salaries are not the driving force of increased healthcare expenses in the US. Per unit of work, they're paid much less than they were in the late 90s. Here's a graph that shows one of the main culprits: https://i1.wp.com/investingdoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/0...

I find this odd. I read these sorts of comments every time Amazon in mentioned on HN, how its literally only clones, fakes, and scams, and impossible to find legitimate products anymore.

I have literally never received a fake/clone/scam off amazon, and I can't explain that discrepancy. I personally only buy things that are sold or fulfilled by amazon, never shipped by third party sellers, but surely everyone else as savy as HN readers does the same? Why order things with brutal shipping costs and times, only things fulfilled by amazon are quick.
How did you disable Turbo? I regularly hit 90 when I start running unit tests or compile xcode. I've gotten into a habit of preemptively setting the fans to max before doing anything like that now.
