> It's one thing for a person to atone for their mistakes.

It sounds more like he tried covering up his mistakes once he became a public figure, which was his decision. He could’ve acknowledged it during any of his media appearances, which would’ve allowed him to discuss the issue on his own terms instead of letting a devastating article dictate the tone of his past. He chose to hide it instead.

There’s nothing wrong with publishing this kind of information, it’s absolutely in the public interest when a CEO of a successful company was involved in white nationalism. Nobody is explicitly demanding an apology, the public just demands to know these things.
I think you answered your own question, as that is not the content of the post.
Absolutely this. My hometown, whole hometown, home to 55k people, got sealed on just one single case. National highway is blocked. All previous passes invalidated. New passes were issued to ensure delivery of groceries. In a town where no company does grocery delivery, local vendors have started doing home delivery.

I couldn't find a good explanation either, but my guess was different from some others I've seen here:

I think it doesn't generate continuously. I think the plane spends some energy to get up into the fast-moving air, while the tether pays out some of its length easily to let it climb. I think it only does this "once", or as infrequently as possible.

Once the plane is in the fast-moving air, the generators kick up their field current to extract energy from the tether being unreeled further, as the plane turns broadside to the wind to haul the tether out despite this drag. It's generating power as the tether pays out.

Then the tether runs out.

So the plane dives/glides back towards the base, while the generators run in reverse, reeling the slack back in. But it doesn't return so far as to get out of the good wind. So as soon as most of the tether is reeled back in, the plane turns to haul on it, the generators go back to generating, lather, rinse, repeat.

I think it only lands when the wind dies, or if it gets too strong to remain safely in the air.
To the extent that we remove the connection between choices and consequences, we harm everyone. This applies in so many ways.

This includes things like lifestyle, including habits, striving to learn & build good family ties, honesty, choosing to pursue education and service, more than just entertainment and pleasure (but with appropriate balance), trustworthiness, avoiding self-destructive behaviors, etc etc. All which greatly affect employability!

But if we make it easily survivable to live on the wrong side of those...what do we encourage? At ever-greater cost to everyone... Think we have a drug problem now?

Some consistently very bad experiences with medicare's and SSA's organizational incompetence (as reflected in ability to provide remotely useful information over many weeks and months, etc) make me definitely not want the federal government to take ever-more resources and control of our economy and lives.

I do believe we are responsible (before God, and if one doesn't believe, then at least to our consciences) to care wisely for one another, and with personal sacrifice to do so -- but not by force.

I also believe, with a fair amount of observation and study among myself and family, that things resembling forcible socialism (or the fed. government solving everyone's problems instead of being strictly limited to its constitutional role) are also harmful to everyone and have been proven many times to be a disastrous failure (Soviets, Venezuela, etc etc).

Charity by force is wrong and foolish, from Christian principle, long historical observation, and (to me at least), logic.

Charitable service done voluntarily by individuals, organizations, families, communities, maybe even states who can then learn from each other what works vs. not, can be wonderful, and I and many others have seen it work in long-term multifaceted practice. But when we force a system on everyone -- bad things happen, in the short and long run.

We can go out and do good and solve problems, by joining with others, using persuasion and fundraising, creating jobs programs (not federal), promoting good ideas, seeing what has worked well elsewhere, but not by forcibly taking control of others people's money (which represents their time and energy, planning and preparation) and thus a loss of freedom for all. Every crisis should not be an excuse to expand control by some, over others.

I have written many more details about this & related subjects at my web site, which is in my profile.

I very much hope we can promote principles over politics, such as: earned trust matters; opportunity, honesty and the Golden Rule matter; charity is important, charity by force is wrong, and breaking the link between choices and consequences harms everyone.
> But if you disagree I'd really like to know why.

I'll take a stab at it. I agree with you that Fox actually does have some decent news output at various points in the day (dearly departed Shep...), but I simply don't think that CNN has any equivalent to the Fox opinion programming. MSNBC comes closer but it still doesn't have hosts spouting outright disinformation on a regular basis.

Not that I, too, find it ridiculous that the delivery person doesn't take a minute to try and get it into your house another way instead of bringing it all the way back, but do note that restocking and delivery fees are real. Amazon does free shipping not because it makes them more money but because they know the competition doesn't have such deep pockets.

A podcast from "the university of Flanders" (which is more than one university, but alas) talked about this and that free shipping offers are ways to bind customers but that it's typically not actually viable with current profit margins and just an attempt to squeeze others out of the market.
Is it also possible that since they have a subscription model, they have to build their system around people leaving and coming back?

I mean imagine if HBO had deleted accounts during GoT and Westworld instead is suspending them. How many people had a 9 month subscription per year for years at a time?
I don't have any specific knowledge of Apple's actual implementation, but I've always assumed it used the full-resolution still image as a keyframe (I-frame), and the video clip as B-frames before and afterwards, compensating for changes over time. Choosing a new key photo may be full resolution, but is likely to be degraded in sub-perceptual ways.

It does pull multiple full frames off the sensor in rapid exposure tho, and chooses whichever one it thinks best (blur, ML, whatever) for the initial key photo.
This sort of pattern tends to be more useful in case it's something like `CustomString` rather than just a regular `String`, and you still want your function/method to work with regular string literals. Also, other similar usecases, where there's a custom type that can be made from a standard type.
List price... somewhat. But they don't do cross sell ops on video for anyone who is paying anything near list price.

Perhaps you are right, but that is an epistemic question. Perhaps people really can never get along ever again, and we should just spare the effort and let the tides of fate carry us where they may. After all, it's not our responsibility here at HN, is it. We have no responsibilities at all, other than adhering to the HN Guidelines, and even that is little more than a suggestion.

Ok, I concede that traffic can be seen, way off in the distance.

I suppose the whole point comes down to how 'close' is close? The previous road was a hundred-odd feet away, and literally went right past a big stone, by a couple of feet. That road was indeed close.

The A303 by comparison, is not particularly close IMO. It's far enough away that on many days one cannot even hear it. You cannot really see the road, but you can see vehicles (tops of cars, top half of trucks). It's far enough away that if one holds their thumb up, at arms' length, one can easily hide a truck's length completely behind it. Do other folk think that is close then? Seems so. I guess it's relative isn't it.

But IMO that's not particularly close - particularly as our initial/primary comparator here was the road that ran right past the monument.

I agree that it would be better if the 303 wasn't there / wasn't in a tunnel, of course.
> I had the impression, based on news articles at the time, that local officials were behind the initial coverup in Wuhan, lasting until national officials rectified the situation.

CPP propaganda strategically concentrates blame for any kind of domestic problem on local officials in order make the central authorities seem trustworthy and competent by comparison. While the local Wuhan officials definitely had an independent hand in the mismanagement, the central government had its role, too.

It's also arguable that the central government is responsible for the coverup activities by the Wuhan officials, because they're the ones who've created and sustained the system those local officials operate in.

No. It is known at compile time.

Template declarations in D take 2 parameter lists. The first is the template parameters the second the runtime parameter:
in
auto whatDoesItReturn(int i)() { static if (i == 0) { return int.init; } else { return string.init; } }

we have (int i) as template parameter and () as an empty runtime parameter. In C++ syntax whatDoesItReturn<int i>()

at instanciation the syntax is different:

whatDoesItReturn!0() will instantiate a function returning an int

whatDoesItReturn!42() will instantiate a function returning a string.

As always, it depends on the circumstances. If you're doing 15-20 mph over the limit on a highway with very little traffic in the daytime and good weather? That's probably appropriate speed for the conditions.

If you're doing double the limit, or freeway speeds through neighborhoods, that's probably dangerous.
And that's despite nearly nationwide shelter in place measures. If those hadn't been implemented, the toll could well be an order of magnitude higher.

I think you're underestimating how against this the GOP was before COVID-19. If you're hearing more about it, it's likely just because the idea is gaining traction.
There are no studies that I am aware of that predicted the exceptional outcome the US has had as far as total deaths. If there are, please link to them. The study that you think is suprisingly accurate, has a minimum number of 1.1M dead if we implemented "case isolation, household quarantine and social distancing of the elderly" in the US, which is a reasonable approximation of what we did.

For me, it's leaning away from large online marketplaces entirely. I'll try to order a product directly from the manufacturer or a specialized website, or just see an example at a local store. 5 star reviews are worthless compared to holding the thing in your hand, and 2 (usually 5 for me) day shipping is a lot longer than taking 10 minutes to run to the store. I figure my biking is greener than sending out a delivery van.
>Maybe I'm just ignorant, but could you explain how a lockdown is supposed to decrease the total number of cases rather than just prolong it

It's not so black and white. We're talking about the area under the curve. The area under the curve varies nonlinearly with R0. But yes, because of the nature of the logistic function, a flatter curve will lead to fewer cases overall, once you factor in time and the assumption that eventually for whatever reason it will go away.
They'll get it as that acronym grows longer...
Standard Oil was a monopoly.

There was no Target Oil, or Wall Oil. There also was never any ginormous hypothetical foreign oil company. Like, if a middle eastern company existed back then that called itself Ali Baba's 40 Oils. It wouldn't have been a monopoly.

That's the problem today. People want politicians to act against Amazon based on laws that are over a hundred years old. We never conceived of a situation where a company could have enormously powerful competitors, like Target, Walmart, and Alibaba, while simultaneously controlling an enormous market. Our laws never conceived that as a possibility.

Or maybe our laws don't really see that situation as a problem?

But whatever the case, if we want change, we're really going to need to rethink some of the laws on the books. They're going to need to change.

Why is your proof for every natural number n and not infinity (ω)? also isn't the law of excluded middle axiomatic?
Because unlike 0.99..., 0.00...1 is not a Real number.

The decimal representation of a Real number has to be indexed by Natural numbers, i.e. every decimal digit[n] has a well-defined index n which is a Natural number. Infinity is not a Natural number, so 0.00...1 is not a Real number either.
Most of the majors do have online pickup now, no? At least by me, it would be weird to see a grocery store lot that doesn't have a pickup spot by now. I've had enough mixed success with delivery groceries that I much prefer picking it up. At least my packages aren't getting stolen or left out in the sun.

> auto whatDoesItReturn(int i)() { static if (i == 0) { return int.init; } else { return string.init; } }

I agree with your point, but for the sake of the audience who doesn't know D I think this example is misleading, as one could take the "int i" parameter as a runtime one, while it's actually a compile time one (the equivalent of C++ non-type template parameter). If you instantiate the function with 0 as a compile-time parameter, it is a function that returns int; otherwise it's a function that returns string. It is never a function that can return int or string.
That's your opinion. You have no idea if Amazon will make changes or not.

As an industrial designer I'd say you're strongly mistaken. Their case design looks like it lays perfectly fine down on a surface, and efficiently wraps around the buds, why the need to stand it upright at all? It's a classic error to think boxes are more efficient in every scenario, simply look at aircraft -- far from a box and perfectly suited to the usable task!
There’s no good reason for WebAssembly to be SSA. That is a good enough reason for it not to be.

The purpose of SSA is to make it easier to write optimizations. However, you wouldn’t be optimizing WASM anyway, you would necessarily translate it first into some kind of IR suitable for optimization passes. Might as well convert to SSA at that point, rather than bloat the bytecode by exposing implementation details of the target.

Remember that WASM’s purpose is to be portable and safe. Making it more complicated just in order to make sophisticated back-ends slightly faster is a net loss. Using SSA would also make naïve/simple backends slower.

I'm a competitive Dance Dance Revolution player. nothing compares to the euphoria of being perfectly synchronized with the music, the notes on screen, and in an ideal scenario, the person playing next to you.

all types of dancing and synchronized movement achieve this effect. in a lot of senses, when you perform these kinds of activities with other people, the informational content of your minds and bodies come closer together in the possible configurational space of brain states. your sensory input, mental activity, and bodily sensations all line up, creating an instant bond with another person, as you can be 100% sure that you now have common ground with each other. the psychological, social and emotional benefits are real.

watching a movie or listening to music together with someone obviously achieves the same effect, but without as many modalities involved

To disagree with you, I took the Python version of UCB's CS61A and I learned quite a lot (especially coming from a non-programming background).
