What are some good Jira alternatives? We use Trello, but it's limited and plugins are needed for everything.
It's one of those Schrodinger's laws that applies to companies like Amazon. They're either a marketplace or not depending on the complaint. Complain about shady sellers and fakes? They're a marketplace and not responsible! Complain about anti competitive practices? Well this is clearly the Amazon store, says so right on it, clearly not a marketplace!
Not to mention desperation moves like the british STEN sub-machine gun which was basically what you get if you say "I need 800,000 of these and they just have to meet these criteria, eject everything else".

Interesting, thanks for coming back, the simpler bugs are the ones you don't need to fix, aren't they? hehe.
Its not a stupid question, I'm sure lots of folks wonder the same thing. The challenge as I understand it is holding on to the hydrogen.

As a gas, hydrogen is really really small and not very dense. Storing, transporting, and handling hydrogen is really hard. I got a chance to see the hydrogen refueling station at a hydrogen bus pilot project and keeping enough hydrogen (without spending all the energy to chill it down in to liquid form) and dispensing it pretty amazing. Its way simpler to use gas generators (things that out gas hydrogen) like they did for the big zeppelins[1])

That is why most schemes that have free hydrogen available, if they aren't using fuel cells on site, usually have a process for capturing the hydrogen in a form that is easier to handle and transport as well as convert back into either heat or hydrogen.

One of the worst things in naming products is when a big business unintentionally clashes with your product name and nearly forces you to rename/tweak it.

As they are in the same category (Cloud technology), I won't be entirely surprised if Ionic renames their 'AppFlow' name to something else. (Unless they're feeling lucky in winning a trademark lawsuit)
And then came Amazon an roller-steam them all. And in my opinion it's because of their super buyer-friendly, stress free experience.

Every time you would buy a book from them, and you were happy that they gave you the best possible price, they didn't give you hard time when the book was lost in the mail or you wanted to return it because the sent you the wrong book, or whatever, your trust in them would increase.

Once you consumers trust you with buying A, selling them B, is just a matter of making it available through your store.

I see a lot of online stores, operating the old way; with hidden discounts, dedicated seller-teams trying to sell stuff to you, pushing back when you want to return an item, etc. and can't help thinking how they are ever alive.
Youtube still profits from free content.
The mandate of the WHO is to improve world health. Thus avoiding politically sensitive issues is correct if that helps the organization to reach its goals.
How is that supposed to work? I understand that it possible to pull the plug on packages which are not ready at time T, but it also means pulling the plug on all the packages that depend on it.

So if libreoffice depends on package P, and that one is not ready, is Debian going to simply drop libreoffice until next release?
The callback number can't be "special". It has to be the number on their website, statement, or credit card.
I think you are right, and that this is one of the more helpful comments in this thread. But maybe even this gives Youtubers too much credit.

I suspect that even those hailed as 'survivors' weren't necessarily more correct. Nobody remembers who was wrong. Nobody remembers anything, ever. Youtubers pay no price with their audience for outrageous false claims. Those were made in the past, which was a month ago. There's 30 new videos up.

Meanwhile, they reap rewards by fanning the flames of whatever subset of claims they've made that haven't proved false, and can claim they knew it all along.

Another method which is applicable to certain 2-player games, which I find interesting, is "I-cut-you-choose" [1]. An arbitrary player (or the more experienced) sets up the initial board positions or takes the first move ("cut"). The other player then chooses whether to go first or second ("choose"). This encourages the "cutter" to set up a fair initial position.

Another reason that restaurants (at least those with bars) prefer Coke is that Pepsi makes a terrible mixer. There's a reason that "rum and Pepsi" isn't a thing.
Breaking user space might not be popular with users, but it makes sense for security. Besides, anyone could build protocol negotiation on top of WireGuard v1/v2 if they wanted to.

I'm not a kernel dev, but WireGuard v2 will probably be implemented as a separate kernel module so they can coexist. It makes sense to do it that way since they're practically entirely separate protocols.
Galen is the only source for this practice. Most scholars in the relevant areas find his claim dubious.
True, but if you encounter one daily shopper, two weekly shoppers and twenty monthly shoppers, it will skew the results. Same if the numbers are reversed.

Your point only stands if the health ministers of the countries receiving that advice, had no responsibility for the advice they gave their own governments. Or do you believe that nation states bear no responsibility for their own decisions? Remember, WHO has no actual authority to impose anything. National governments do. Look to your own health minister and leaders for where to sheet the blame. Anybody hearing or reading that speech above that didn’t act - especially given all the actual technical guidance being offered by the WHO at the same time - should be looking in the mirror. A point I made elsewhere still stands. From the same source of advice - WHO - multiple nation states took different courses of action. Why do you think that is? They surely can’t all attribute their decisions to WHO otherwise all countries would have acted the same way. Clearly that’s not what’s happened.
I'm sure it doesn't seem like that to the citizens of Taiwan who are basically told to go fuck themselves by the WHO
This is Doublespeak from “1984”. It’s also often used in politics like naming a tax cut for upper incomes as “Middle class tax relief”.
Looks like you have to hit "Clear Storage" on Android in order to get it working again (tested it with Uber). That is, not the cache, but the actual application data. I.e. this will require users to wipe any data being locally stored and log back in again. This is pretty bad.

Edit: Google has confirmed this is the case https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/154855417#comment181 but apparently the data will be invalidated within a few hours.

I am currently in Japan (Kyoto), and right now a few days walk would probably be one of the nicest (and safest) things to do.

If there are fellow HNers that are currently in Japan and can provide some suggestions (or perhaps want to do it together), I would love to hear them!
The stock market is a government backed ponzi scheme. It only works if new investors keep buying and the government won’t let it fail.
There's no reason to interpret the serological study to think a higher R0 is implied, which is what you said.

The only way that missing cases affects estimates of R0 from time series is if we're missing a much bigger proportion of cases now than we were in the past. All the evidence I've seen leans the other way-- more testing, better testing, more cases diagnosed by "presumed" criteria.

So, it actually implies the opposite of what you're saying, and argues for lower R0.
It's not like business was going to go on as normal when people started filling up hospitals.

The lock down was a choice between what we are going through now and a much worse disaster if the spread continued through a couple more doublings. Of course the extreme stay at home orders should be continued for as short a time as possible, but what we do next also doesn't have to be exactly what we were doing before (and realistically won't be).

My impression at the moment is that containment isn't going to happen, but mostly because people don't want to bother, not because it is the more costly alternative or impractical. Given the lack of appetite to test and isolate, we had better all start doing things like wearing masks.

Note that ~80% of American's favor the stay at home orders right now. It's not a partisan issue, it's an issue where a loud minority is getting some attention from the media.
This can yield surprising results even without undefined behavior. For example: https://godbolt.org/z/fwhLH4
Even though I am not that young, I might sign up for that. If there is already evidence in vivo of the vaccine’s effectiveness, IMHO the risk would be tolerable.
"send logs, metrics, and dashboards from Datadog into an Amazon S3 bucket to create monthly reports"

This is an odd use case given that Datadog can already store logs in your S3 buckets, and Datadog integrates with AWS Cloudwatch to pull in AWS metrics!

Seems like panda poly and gorilla tape would work to stop the light. Panda poly is available at your local exotic herb grow shop. Gorilla tape doesn't stick very well at first, but after a week, is impossible to remove without tearing the panda poly.
I don't see as big of a distinction between Safeway and Amazon. The demand for pain medication is relatively constant, so if sales of Safeway's generic ibuprofen increase it will come at the expense of Advil because Safeway will start buying fewer units. The harm is one step removed but is still there.

I think a better argument would be the scale of the data collected by Amazon vs physical stores. But on the other hand, Safeway has an online store where they can collect the same information and if they are anything like Walmart then they also already have startlingly detailed insight into the supply chains and logistics of their suppliers that surely rivals what Amazon sees if you use their warehousing service.

I don't think it makes sense to draw a clear distinction between Amazon generics and Safeway/Walmart generics. It seems like a fuzzy line at best.
Despite all their best efforts at studying the effective transmission rate, wearing PPE, and developing treatment drugs and vaccines!

Yeah, seems like an equivalent comparison to me.

Has it come to this? We used to have physical turbo buttons, now we have soft un-turbo buttons. I think the grim reality in WFH is that laptops just really still suck compared to desktops for running dual monitors, an A/V feed with OBS, and 80 tabs across two browser windows along with a few other apps open. That load would have my i7 8th gen at 70-80%, but has my Ryzen 7 at maybe 10%. Not throwing away my laptop anytime soon, but I'm learning to love the desktop platform again.
Can confirm, I got a Prime delivery from a guy driving a white Budget Rent-a-car van two weeks ago. Have to say I was very thankful.
No no, I think we buy the branding thing. I'm pretty sure part of the reason I have the car I do is a branding thing, etc. etc. I'm like the #1 brand sucker on the planet. But that's at the "these guys are outdoorsy", "you're sophisticated", "you're cool" level not at the "this represents classic American values vs. this is the new generation" thing. That sounds like nonsense to me.

Just clarifying that it isn't whether branding works but the shape of the working. Like, I admit being easily influenced by them, just not in that direction. Like Red Bull is cool action sports, right? But I've never had a Red Bull when I've gone skiing. Not saying branding doesn't directly modify my associations, just that the way isn't what yodon said.
Ask HN: Math online course recommendation for a High schooler
My son's a 9th grader and has completed a couple of online Math courses on Coursera, in particular:

1) Introduction to Mathematical Thinking (https://www.coursera.org/learn/mathematical-thinking)

2) Introduction to Logic (https://www.coursera.org/learn/logic-introduction)

In his school he is currently doing Pre-Calc and will be taking AP Calc in his 10th grade.

He's looking for some online Math courses that he should take to help broaden his knowledge.

A couple I've asked him to look at are:

1) Game Theory (https://www.coursera.org/learn/game-theory-1), and

2) Discrete Mathematics specialization (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/discrete-mathematics?)

Would appreciate any advice for online Math courses. Doesn't have to be Coursera. It'd be nice if the course offers free audit with a payment only for certificate, but is not mandatory.
Personally I prefer (x ? 1 : 0) over (x != 0) or !!x for this sort of thing.

It fits semantically with "I'm using x as a boolean, but it may not be 1".

I agree with the conclusion that you should be clear about what percentage of content is on the side of reasonable, and which is not.

Let me however disagree strongly with your claims that this concerns 99.99999% of cases, and that the other commenter was talking about "what ifs" and "hypotheticals". That last claim seems to me to just be untrue: we know in fact that local laws, for example several american states, contradict WHO. Their point is valid. This could be a problem.

Now you have done well to state your belief of proportion clearly: only 1 in a million of the cases that will be removed should not have been removed, the rest are indisputably worth of banning.

I think you now need to go a step further: Why do you think that all but one out of a million cases will be justified? And do you really think that a discussion about edge cases is so unnecessary? Given YouTube's history with copyright trigger happiness, I wouldn't be so sure of these proportions, myself.

And I think that it is actually very healthy that the introduction of (increased) censoring should go hand in hand with public scrutiny and discussion, in fact I'd be very worried if we'd all just accept all of it uncritically.

Your point is, in general, well taken. I think you're right to point out commentators can blow fringe issues out of proportions. I am however unconvinced in this particular case.
Thank you! I'm not a big fan of the new notifications area. Seems unnecessarily complex and cluttered.

There also this passive-aggressive note that pops up after you've read all the notifications.

"All caught up!
Take a break, write some code, do what you do best."

My reaction is, well I'm not a great coder, so if that's what I do best, then I'm not that good at anything...

For the point I am making, it does not really matter what Mich was thinking, but his behaviour over the weekend suggests that he was not entirely comfortable with the outcome. What do you suppose he was checking for? I would guess that he did not need to see his balance more than once.

He says that his suspicions were tweaked, near the end of the call, by the scammer giving an old address for him, and apparently his girlfriend was a good deal more suspicious: "Anyway, the whole time my girlfriend is sitting next to me listening to this conversation and she’s like, ‘This sounds like bullshit.'”

> Trust means that you also trust an institution to make concessions on your behalf, without you second guessing them. That means permitting them to make decisions that you disagree with, because you trust that in the long term such flexibility will result in a better society for all, including yourself.

This becomes less and less true the more unrepresentative the institution. This level of trust is nonexistent in large heterogenous polities, and only existent in small polities (Singapore, Sweden, France, Canada, Australia) or homogenous polities (China).
> Preliminary test results suggest 21% of of people approached in a crowded grocery store and who would agree to give blood have Covid antibodies

> Sure it does. WS is just a framing protocol on top of a regular TCP connection. Though it sounds like you're not talking about the protocol so much as the JavaScript API, which perhaps doesn't give you enough visibility into the underlying TCP socket state.

Every WS implementation I've ever seen is nonblocking on both sides. Are you aware of any that aren't? I'm not even sure the spec allows for that.

But yes you are correct that you can implement more advanced algos on top.

EDIT: Sounds like blocking implementations do exist, but unfortunately I'm constrained to a browser environment, and all the browsers are nonblocking.
Lol, go out and take a walk, we live in pretty good times compared to the rest of history (and civilizations btw). Is it wrong now wrongthink to think that we have it better or at least we've had some material and slight social progress since that era?
That is not well established.

It's likely enough, but we don't gain long term immunity to every virus that we successfully clear.
What's the trick (besides calling functions after fork that you shouldn't be calling?)
Or a "tax cut for all", implying it is a flat rate cut.
Depends almost entirely on distance. Back in one of my college physics classes in LA we analyzed moving electricity from Hoover Dam in (Nevada/Arizona) to LA. It was a lot of fun. You can raise the voltage so you need less current but then you have to raise the wires so they don't arc to the ground and separate them. As I recall (it was a while ago) we were using the Fischer-Tropsch[1] process to convert electricity into oil to transport by tanker to fossil fueled plants.

You plot all the variables (voltage, current, distance) and there are regions where it is better to convert it and regions where it isn't

But since this was the Lunar New Year, I'm guessing that Ali Baba was already on a war footing?
This sounds exciting but without UBI and UHC (housing and health) it just feels like a half measure. Engaging in necessary skilled labor is the ideal (liberal arts and sciences) - the next best is un-skilled necessary labor (grocery delivery lives here) and after that skilled un-necessary labor (eg visual and audible/musical arts skills crafts games) and finally that leaves us with un-skilled in-necessary labor (Vices live here). If we have universal mutual aid as a guiding principal it would let people move towards where they need and want to be as their lower level maslavian needs would be apriori.

The reality as well is that many necessary forms of labor can be fulfilled by unskilled labor if we try (Automation lives here).
This is a ridiculous assumption. For two obvious examples, Art Bell attracted plenty of advertisers, as did early-day Howard Stern.

Some advertisers do, and some do not. Don't lump them all into a single bucket. YouTube is creating an environment that guarantees a future without Art Bells or Howard Sterns.

The concern you raise could easily be remedied with a single checkbox on the advertiser portal labeled "Display this Campaign on Fringe Content". The fact that with the enormous technical capability of Google, they choose not to do this and instead decide that they know the advertisers' preferences better than the advertisers themselves demonstrates clearly that this is about power and control, not ad revenue or serving the customer.
> It could be well argued - or even simply stated - that, yes, US healthcare system has in fact primary mission to benefit health of US population. How'd you argue it's not the case?

No, that's the entire point greendave was trying to make. The system's goal has been perverted or coopted. This is a logical result of a corrupted system.

You're missing a point: A city "made for bikes" or pedestrians has shorter distances.

You need a car to get to the far-away mall. And it's cumbersome to go there by any other transportation. But what if the shops were close-by? You walk to work, and get breakfast on your way. That's reality in places that existed before the car.

For cities build after cars being popular, it will be a transition.
This may well be true, but it's only a small part of the equation.

The equation evidently (according to OC):

take the death count ... versus ... mass unemployment, no basic medical services and cancer screenings

Part of the RHS was also most hospitals are bankrupt, and the weird claim that tax revenues are the only way to fund essential services. (I'd suggest cutting costs in other areas - defence, for example - is one way to rediscover funds for essential services.)

Anyway, I expect that where you are right now, what you're seeing going on around (aka the level of incompetence exhibited by your leaders / government) along with the usual way your society and economy work, is going to significantly affect which way you lean on that equation.

Also if you run the stats and conclude you personally are not likely to be part of the death count, but you would be inconvenienced by a cautious approach, you're probably going to lean towards the '[other] people dying ain't so bad' camp.
I did the same during my college days in Canada in 2009-2012.

Regularly made few hundred bucks a months from sunglasses, then my normal job took off.
Maybe those Youtubers were less popular because their predictions are less accurate and their logic is flawed, and people are able to see the difference? Why is biasing information the role of Youtube, shouldn’t USA and other countries educate their citizen to be resilient to inaccurate predictions, rather than cut any information at the root and only ever expose citizen to “true information”, which inevitably makes your citizen more gullible?

Saying the population can be misled is an admission that our school system creates naive dumbasses. MAYBE we should fix that first.
That could be defeatable by crowdsourced research into a common database non blockchain of course ;-) ) and a chrome extension to ad an info UI to every ad, and a Google feature to show you a restorspective look at id info of all ads they've served you recently.
