I'm curious how you reconcile this with your previous desire for the "old web": paywall? js to interfere with the ability to copy/hotlink images?
How Trix (text editor) works from the inside
We used to have this in Norway when I was a kid; I still remember when I found out by accident - it felt like I had been let in on some big secret.
So no private label products from Walmart, Target, Kroger, or CVS?
All the things you name are available to a phone app as well. Particularly, if it has enough penetration to be in the vehicles near you. Local weather + data aggregation from all the insurance companies apps and suddenly about the only thing they don't have is whether you were looking at the road, and the condition of your tires and other vehicle specific metrics. Sure the GPS/accel data might be off a few percent vs the car but does that matter?

(BTW, Assuming a deal with your credit card company, they probably can approximate your tire age too).
Fair enough but it is not going to take 10 years before people start using this spectrum.
I'm wondering if this is because of the ventilators or these patients were so far gone, they had very small chance of living with anything done and a ventilator was something that had a small chance of success.
unfortunately this article ignored around the elephant in the room: one of the two dominant political parties has an entire platform devoted to stopping institions from expanding while also eating away at the existing capabilities of those institutions. they pursue this platform relentlessly, and have done so for roughly the last 40 years.

faced with staunch refusals to consider any type of revolutionary building at the institutional level, would-be builders reduced their hopes to incremental changes, bringing us to the current state of affairs.

after enormous legislative efforts, incremental and generally insufficient changes are made to support the strength of US institutions. then, as part of the dealmaking necessary to make any changes whatsoever, other institutions are degraded incrementally in trade. the system of the country's institutions never becomes stronger in terms of its total sum of capabilities, it only reshuffles them.

imagine trying to build a house when half of your building team never lets you purchase any new materials, only permitting you the use of bricks that are already built into the house. you have to remove a brick from the foundation to place it on the top of a half-constructed wall. that's the situation the US is in. it's untenable.

there isn't going to be a tidy legislative solution to this kind of intractability anytime soon because the people with the most money prefer the current situation and fund politicians accordingly.

lest you think that the point of my comment is to blame republicans or democrats, let me tell you that it isn't. my point is that america cannot build because it cannot accept that building requires spending, as spending would require contradicting the will of the political donor class. we needed to get money out of politics back when occupy wall street was calling for it. the next best time is now.

in a nutshell, the rich need to do their part to contribute to society and accept that their influence must be curbed if the country is to flourish once again. as we know, there's no chance of them doing this of their own accord. i'll leave the details of how we can get them on board with rebuilding the country to the imagination of the reader.
The use of !? in two out of four paragraphs in econcon's post certainly implies excitement

You claim insight into another's mind based on colloquial use of punctuation marks!? "Forensic grammarian here, let me take a look...yup, it is clear that they are excited for people to die." Seriously lame. To support my point, I'll point out that I most usually use "!?" as a WTF indicator, or other expression of surprise or disgust. To my recollection, not once have I used it to indicate positive excitement. 'cuz there ain't no style guide on using "!?".

But, man, someone really, really wants to get butt-hurt over that comment, all other indicators be damned.
I suspect the most practical way to reform our institutions is through increased competition in governance, just like we "fix" stagnant institutions in the private sector. We already have this baked into our constitution: States rights and their ability to pass amendments. There's a movement happening around this. [0]

Justice Brandeis said it best: "state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." [1]

Imagine if States could try different healthcare systems, or basic income, etc. Citizens would be able to vote with their feet and move to the best systems. This should be a bipartisan movement.

Sorry, can someone spell out how this might be good news? 21% is still a long way from herd immunity, and NYC's hospital system has been severely strained getting to this point. On top of that, the hospitalization rate still seems disproportionate to someone getting the flu - maybe it's five times as fatal, but it's > 5x the flu hospitalization rate. It's not like the virus has become less dangerous, we're just realizing how dangerous it has been, what with the impact we've already experienced.

Besides, generally if a virus is less fatal than previously expected, it means it's more contagious, meaning that much harder to get to herd immunity.

Good news would be things like: evidence the virus has mutated into something less severe; evidence of an anti-viral treatment that improves outcomes for everyone so it's not as big a deal to catch it; evidence that community spread has halted in an area and the boundaries are controlled so people in that area can feel secure they won't catch it; evidence of an impending vaccine.

Is this good news just because we're finally establishing that people have caught it once can't re-catch it for now? I guess I can see that as good news but that is so expected that it's more like it would be horrendously bad news if we found evidence that recovered people didn't have antibodies. But generally I don't really see what policy impact this has, other than identifying a pool of workers that can go work in meat-packing factories without fear of catching it again.

Dicks: Do you need to be one to be a successful leader?
The major question I don’t have a good answer to is, “Why is this different than brick and mortar store brands like Safeway signature?”

Surely a part of is is placement, but Safeway could put own brand ketchup at the same level (and I think sometimes does) as Heinz and still wouldn’t sell the same volume.

Amazon is clearly getting a big advantage here, I’m just curious about what the underlying dynamics are that allow them to be so much more successful in their context than it seems store brands are in other contexts.

I don't think you can say "there's no money" in eg. France. French tax revenue is 45% of GDP.
There’s a step before them undercutting you, and that’s the margin squeeze.

I’ve seen it happen, repeatedly - also years ago. If you sold a high volume commodity on seller central, you’d see your commission go up, and up, and up, until you squeak - you either quit or you complain.

They now know exactly how much that line nets you, and whether it’s worth selling.
Au contraire, it's far too easy to fire people in government for issues that have systemic root causes due to the nature of politics and public pressure. So the poor schmuck who pushed the button gets fired, and that's the end of it. No deeper evaluation or reports on how to prevent the issue from occuring in the future.

This leads to extreme aversion to any risk taking and creates bureaucracy.

This is opposed to the classic stories about junior engineers who lose their companies money, go into the bosses office expecting to be fired, and the boss says "why would we fire you? we just spent $X training you".
Yes, but the age is a 10x factor, os CFR would be much different in Nigeria (average age is about 19) and Italy (average age 45). We have two good petri dishes:

USS Theodore Roosevelt - 600 cases out of 4800. 5 sick, one dead (41 years old).
which means hospitalisation is at 0.83% and CFR is 0.016% (1% dead or in hospital). Not idea what is the average age, probably around 30-35.

Diamond Princess: 700 of 3711. CFR 1.1%, average age around 50.

What worries me the most though is potential mutations and death rates when you are infected with Covid-19 and flu at the same time (or other pathogens).

no, the point of the article was that while there are competing theories of transmission, the centrality of the ballistic transmission mechanism has been known for a while (from prior coronavirus studies) and has been relatively undisputed as the primary transmission vector. to wit (from the article),

> "When do COVID-19 SSEs happen? Based on the list I’ve assembled, the short answer is: Wherever and whenever people are up in each other’s faces, laughing, shouting, cheering, sobbing, singing, greeting, and praying. You don’t have to be a 19th-century German bacteriologist or MIT expert in mucosalivary ballistics to understand what this tells us about the most likely mode of transmission."

To any Nvidia desktop users out there who don't know yet: the AMD drivers are getting quite good lately. I switched this year, and have been very happy about it. Just be careful if you're buying a new model of GPU, as the drivers are a few months behind in new hardware support.

If they're going to implement it as well, then that's perfect. They now know which language they should be using with their proficiency.

In some other team, Java might have been #1. The overall best results with a great team would almost certainly be achievable by using C++.

But this is what worked for them.

You're confusing GDP with GDP per capita, and also 350,000,000 / 1,460,000,000 = 0.23972602739 and to convert that to a percentage you multiply by 100 so you get 23.973% as the result.

A veto is not the same as a majority.

It takes 40 Senators to ensure something doesn't pass Congress. It takes a single President to ensure something doesn't become law--a literal veto.

"Enough people" needing to be literally "every person" is a big part of the problem.

I think in general, this is a "hard" problem for an Internet-based service. You would have to include a watermark of some kind, which arguably hinders viewer experience. And regardless, it is still very easy for viewers to capture an image by downloading or taking a screenshot.

I do agree with your sentiment about IG though.
This is a ban against vertical integration no? There are real efficiencies (apples entire premise) from owning and running the whole stack top to bottom.
Let's call those happy customers the Eloi, and call the Amazon employees (who are by then manufacturing everything) the Morlocks. See where this is going? I for one don't want to be living in that timeline.

Firstly, it's implied when he proclaims that companies shouldn't be profiting off of health care. But to answer the question less obliquely, here's a quote of him saying it (from Politifact):

"I could whack pharmaceutical companies, and I don’t need Medicare for All to do it, but I do need Medicare prices for all to deal with what the real profits are — whether you call them profits or not — which is hospitals."

"Polarization makes America ungovernable" is an interesting thesis -- It was a concern of the USA's founding fathers; it was how the American Civil War was considered inevitable from 1800s-1860s; it was thought for a time to have been resolved by the Civil War; and now here we are. Maybe governments are best scoped to groups of people who mostly agree, and "union at all costs" is a dangerous fantasy.
These exist for AAX plugins and they're naturally pretty expensive and hard to program for as a general purpose unit.

There is a lot of shallow talking in what you said because things are not black/white. And yes I can change the company I work for also reducing workdays amount but that will directly make my life unsustainable and I dont have an option to buy 50 morgs of field to start a farm (this costs around few million dollars where I live) and thats the area lords were giving to their peasents..

So yea your argument is:

- “just go and die if you dont like working 3 times as much as your ancestors”

Which makes you look pretty stupid if you ask me.

Those are part of the release, otherwise you'd better test different kernels on 18.10.

Ask HN: Burnt out but have to keep working to pay bills, what do?
I'm starting to feel like myself again during this quarantine. Work has been light, stress has been low, and I feel great. I havent felt this way in years. I'm starting to realize Ive been working so hard for so long that I forgot what feeling good felt like. I think I'm burnt out. The problem is I have bills to pay. Has anyone been in this situation?
figgers they would say that
In C/C++ we have the possibility to avoid dynamic allocation altogether and to use system features like memory mapping. If we use C++ the same way as Java (everything dynamically) it's not too surprising the result is not (much) faster than Java.
That is largely not the case. I spent ten years making private label medical devices for CVS, Kroger, Target, and dozens of other stores.

There tend to be specialist manufacturers who fill the store brand niches. E.g. in pharma, close to 90% of the pills, tabs, and liquids sold in front of the pharmacy counter are made by one company, Perrigo, whose entire model is predicated on being a store brand supplier.

I don't think Kimberly Clark makes the store brand paper products, nor does P&G make the store brand beauty/cleaning supplies.

SSMS has the worst text rendering of any tool I regularly use on windows. It's not a tie. I'm not sure how this is possible, since SSMS is built on a Visual Studio shell, but I see what I see.

Since edge has moved closer to chromium, chromium on Linux should be decently supported there.

Mobile developers have done this for years; I don't really see how testing it on your local machine can really tell you much other than "it compiles and seems to run" if you're actually going to run it on completely different hardware.

They keep getting better, but you always have the fear of one software update bricking your device because some engineer at Apple woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and put in something in the bootloader that only works on Apple hardware.

It would work if I kept this laptop as my backup (can't stop working for a day or two while I fix all that stuff).
> You know what is a pretty good competitor?

Competitor on what vector? Speaking from a US-centric viewpoint here, but my thoughts;

* Distribution & Warehousing - Walmart & Costco

* Sales & Advertising - Google & Facebook

A few notable online storefronts that are independent and I use frequently are B&H Photovideo and Newegg. Realistically though the options I listed above are the only companies I see having the scale to compete with Amazon at anything, and even then they're an order of magnitude behind. Just my opinion, again very US-centric.
Huh, what percentage of the CES visitors are natives? They probably got the virus but went home before they got sick...

Zen 2 is much more economical in its core area. Lighting cores likely have around 2x the transistors.

Also, and I’m not sure how big of a deal this is, but Zen 2 is the 2nd gen of a practically new arch. Lighting has a lineage of at least 6 generations.

Ubuntu Mate 20.04 Release Notes
Given Amazon's willingness to spy on their business customers (traffic data in this case), should I be worried to deploy code on AWS that has high IP value in source code form (JS, Python, etc) or bytecode (Java/C#, which can be easily decompiled). I ask this because I noticed on AWS EC2 the default behavior is that Amazon produces the private/public key pair (as opposed to having the user add their SSH public key) so if they wish, they can access any code I deploy. Let's say I make a product on AWS that competes with a current or future product of AWS itself, and let's say it gets a ton of traffic, should I be worried? Should I be using only native binaries? (C/C++, Go, Rust, etc) ??

I send links to my brother &/or sister, if I think it will interest them. I often add a short summary. They often make some comment.
Sometimes, I feel like concepts such as these need to be translated into terms the average hackernews reader will understand.

Let's say your key metric you're trying to maintain or improve is P50 request latency. Its relatively easy to exhibit an acceptable P50 to 10 users, from 1 VM. Its actually harder to deliver the same P50 to 100 users, from 10 VMs. Even harder for 1000 users and 100 VMs, snd so on. You run into previously fine bottlenecks you didn't know existed. Issues which were invisible at ten users become cascading failures at thousands.

It just keeps getting harder the more users you add, even though you're adding proportionally more underlying VMs. There is no end to how difficult it gets, until eventually, it becomes impossible.

Testing is a problem with difficulty that scales with population size. Of the top ten countries by population size, there are only two countries that have higher testing per capita than the US: Russia and China. Those three countries are pretty close; no one else, anywhere in the top ten, is remotely close to the US, Russia, and China.

(Kind of funny how the top two testers in the top 10 countries by population are dictatorships, who have every reason to maintain a strong, powerful image. Funny how it works out like that, isn't it? Do you believe their numbers?)

I run the fastest website on the planet. No one but my mom visits it, but its still the fastest. Lithuania (the world's top daily tester per capita yesterday) is that website. The US is, uh, lets say Google. Should you bemoan Google for taking longer to load?
