Yah my quick search didn't return much on papers discussing false positives, viral RNA, or reinfection or recurrence. I'm guessing it's too new for formal papers.

I should've said doctors are busy treating patients and researchers are busy collecting data.

But I did find below article posted 12 hrs ago

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/coronavirus-so...

South Korean expert panel has concluded that dead virus fragments were the likely cause of more than 290 people in the country testing positive after recovery for coronavirus.

There aren't really that many coal jobs, big-picture-wise, about 60,000. Arby's employs more people than that.
That's because there isn't a vast network of shitware sites geared toward Linux users. If it got popular among non-technical users there would be.

Never ever underestimate what people will do for even mediocre amounts of money. Look into the enormous ecosystem (bordering on a subculture) that exists around click fraud and other forms of ad network abuse, or try to search for some Windows software and look at how many fake sites you get. It's unreal. There's money to be grabbed, so it gets grabbed.
The whole movement of decentralized web has been thinking about that for years. One such promising example is dat and its featured tool, beaker (https://beakerbrowser.com/). Content is hosted on computers directly, exchanged in a peer-to-peer fashion. Control is given back to users, who can read any content they want, fork it and share a local copy with their own modified content, or create new content as they see fit.

However as others have said, I don't think the problem is technical, it's societal. It's hard enough to migrate users from one social network to the next, and you're essentially saying we need to migrate users from the whole web to another kind of web. The only way forward I see this thing happening in the large is if a big player steps up and does it for free for a large part of the population.... at which point we're back to square one
There's still nothing really like Borg in the open-source world. Linux can't be replaced because it's open-source, Borg is secret sauce. Amazon and Microsoft built their infrastructure to be based around long-lived VM tenants, Borg based Google around tiny containers. It's doubtful another cloud will come along or any of us giants will rebuild from the ground up, so I guess it's unlikely anyone will ever need a Borg besides Google. I find it sad though, because I fell in love with it from the rumors I heard and papers I read when I redesigned Azure's cluster scheduler algorithm.

I think it's sad that 99% of the resources are used by hogs, though. I always thought it'd be neat to build on tiny containers; this suggests that you really can be fine with a few giant tenants and minimal colocation.

sigh some day I'll get to design my dream Borg successor, even if it's a TempleOS-like art project after I've descended into dementia.
Where's the Infrastructure Fund? The Education Fund? I thought a16z was all about "It's Time to Build" now.

I guess even they couldn't convince themselves to want to build things. I suppose that hollow rhetoric was for everyone else and not them?
At full tuition, one foreign student could bring as much revenue as 3 or more domestic students. There's a much larger population of students outside the U.S. than in it, too.

You don't need to be an insider to realise that the management has been tuned to squeeze every ounce of sweat in the name of leadership principles. If you were an insider, you'd probably be sick to your stomach, if you knew where to look. Now, Amazon (being so huge that it is) cannot explicitly promote such behaviour from their managers but there's an epidemic of assholes for a reason, like one of my friends likes to put it.

So, yes, when things like this leak out [0][1], you'd bet your bottom dollar that Amazon does really care about optics [2].

That said, I understand their predicament and I admire tough decisions they need to take to keep the business going [3] in a time where logistics is an absolute nightmare even at a smaller scale, but I don't, for one second, underestimate their will to bend rules and regulations to hit whatever bottom line metric they are measuring at any given point in time [4].

I don't think you can count on Google solving stateful for k8s, because within Google all storage devices and data thereupon are, to a fair approximation, totally disposable. There is nothing at Google considered a "stateful service" the way k8s community members mean it, e.g. a mysql server with critical local files.

In my personal opinion it is more valuable to adopt the Google model where no local file is considered critical, than it is to try to cram statefulness into an otherwise cloud-native stack. I feel that if you still care about specific files on specific disks then you really haven't fully adopted the meaning of cloud-native.
Stripe "brushed this off" until a sensationalist headline appeared on HN.
Had a flaky unit test that would randomly fail with some random Chinese character in the output.

The test was running a log parsing tool against a temporary file that had a pseudo-SQL syntax where you could “select ... from c:\Users\...\temp\abcd1234.xyz\testdata.dat”. The temporary directory was a randomly generated name so that the folder was guaranteed to be empty before every execution of the test.

The test failed on the rare occasion that the randomly generated temp dir consisted of the letter ‘u’ plus four characters that were valid hex digits. When this happened the randomly generated dir name interacted with the backslash before it and become a Unicode escape sequence. It was easy to fix but that test was flaky for months before anyone worked out why.
It could be, (and not saying it will be), but it could be over time the last good money standing. Or last good money that is easy to transfer standing.

The transnational nature of it is interesting. But otherwise ya, I agree. Very niche at the moment and not really exploding in use or use case.
They forgot the important step of ‘sell coin to gullible idiots’, which is essential to the profits.

You are in a CONS cell. The there is a CAR to the left, leading off to another CONS, and a CDR to the right, containing NIL. The garbage collector briefly enters the CONS, marks it, quickly glances at the NIL in the CDR, smiles quietly to itself, and looking relieved, hurriedly sweeps away through the CAR.

>GIVE CONS TO CDR

You give the CONS cell to its CDR, creating a circular list.
I'm disappointed the cli version seems to be getting short shrift in the push to monetize. I'd be far more likely to want to use this from the cli or from another tool, than in a browser.
Very nice, here is a suggestion: 24-hour clock

I've seen you suggest time zones from all over the world, which is nice. But the AM/PM system is mostly an American thing, a 24-hour clock is more common elsewhere.

I suppose you can query the browser for the appropriate format to use like you are doing for the time zone.
Are there any resources describing what you lose and gain by installing LineageOS?

I'd like to know what will stop working before I try it out...
Thanks so much for the feedback!

1. What browser are you using? I haven't gotten that before, so interested to see whats causing that

2. I definitely want to add that as a feature soon.

3. And yeah I've seen another app calendar.management do that, but I've found opt-in to make more sense imo. Something to consider in the future though

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

This is definitely been a learning experience for me, and I'm really not sure what the future holds for the project.

CORS was/is an issue that I've yet to fully figure out, if you have any ideas please share - I'd love to learn.

Authentication is something that I've delebratly avoided as I feel Pantry should not be used to store sensitive data, nor should it be ever used in production. It's for POC's, hackathon projects, and should be used as a development tool for rapid prototyping.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, and please feel free to submit PR's if you'd like!
The Experian Credit Rating Agency actually results historically from what happened before CRAs existed.

Last century "Mail order" was an exciting new business opportunity. You send people (mostly housewives) a catalogue explaining what's on offer, and then they pick items from the catalogue and you deliver them. You can have a much broader range of products than their local stores, and the catalogue offers a good way for cautious shoppers to compare options and make a decision at their leisure.

There was a problem. The customer has no prior relationship to you, but of course they don't want to pay you for potentially very expensive goods, in advance, unseen. A local store might know exactly who the customer is, if that's a nice house or a tiny cottage, what the husband does for a living. Your mail order catalogue company has no idea.

So you began to just collect observable facts. Mrs Smith still owes you £208 from last year when she bought the dining room set, and hasn't made a payment on it since January. Mrs Jones on the other hand has paid every penny she owed, regular as clockwork. So when Mrs Smith tries to order a new frock, you remind her about the outstanding £208 by return of post - and when Mrs Jones does you send the frock immediately.

Gradually other new businesses wonder if they might take advantage of this knowledge. Mrs Jones wants to buy a car, cars are expensive but she'd make payment every month. The first dealer she visits suggests her husband should buy it. Mrs Jones doesn't have a husband, and she walks out in disgust, no sale. But the second dealer has an idea, that mail order catalogue company might know if Mrs Jones is good for the money. They agree, for a fee, and on condition that the car dealer tell them if Mrs Jones makes each future payment on her credit deal, which seems harmless enough.

And one day the catalogue company realises that 80% of its revenue is from this "Credit Reference" side business of knowing that Mrs Jones is a better risk than Mrs Smith and the catalogue sales are nice but they aren't really the same business and needn't be the same company.

If it hadn't already happened last century, today Amazon would be your Credit Reference Agency, yet another opportunity to enrich Jeff Bezos...
Except two of the biggest platforms they've been focusing on are the web and Android, and they've publicly stated that they don't necessarily see the future as a Windows-world. Azure is the only platform that I see these efforts helping, and maybe that's enough, but I still have to wonder if there's something I'm missing.
So the plea in abeyance will show up. I was fed the same line of shit by courts. My misdemeanor, from 2016 was a plea in abeyance. I was told no crimes for a year and it's like it didn't happen. Easy, done. And guess what? Mine was also in Utah. Hello South Salt Lake City.

Fast forward to a few months ago, it came up on the background check. You have to understand the charge shows up and its possible that the plea shows up. Mine did.

The big difference is mine came up for a Public Trust background check with the federal government. So maybe they can go a bit deeper than a FAANG? I am sitting in limbo 5 months into this job still not knowing if I'll be canned at any second. I had to do a full interview with an agent with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). They even brought up stuff that was from beyond the 7 year window I had to declare.

If anyone knows what my chances are with that I'd love to hear. As a Public Trustee and not touching any sensitive data I'd hope they are lien-ant for a non-violent, non-drug offender like myself.

For you. If it comes up. I'd have the media report present to prove it was an illegal act of activism and not showing TRUE criminal intent. But I wouldn't try to sweep what you did under the rug either.
Personally I'd advise against both SVM's and Bayesian methods for a beginner. Bayesian statistics is very much the deep end of the pool. Graphical models and Bayesian methods generally may make a comeback but such approaches have been superseded by other methods for good reasons, i.e. scaling.

A strong basis in statistics is certainly a great thing, but that can be maximum likelihood plus Bayes law (i.e. "MAP" estimation which is more of a hack to ML than an actual Bayesian method) and provide the big picture for almost everything.

Meanwhile a strong basis in "deterministic methods", as an alternative way to spend that learning effort, has its own rewards. The training algorithms for deep learning are also the hottest algorithm research area in machine learning, and are certainly applicable beyond deep learning. For that matter a thorough understanding of SVM delves into convex optimization, an extremely powerful framework as well.
Help me fix my WFH routine
Hey HN folks,

I am -
* A Pre-Final year Undergraduate Student
* An Open-Source lover
* An intern at a decent(I find it really nice) startup
* Currently interested in JS, Rust and Compilers

But, during this lockdown I am facing problems regarding my routine. I can't concentrate during day either due to procrasination or due to some disturbances related to doing / helping out in houselhold work and thus, end up staying late in night (somtimes till morning) and then, next day wake up late. This is -
* Affecting my health
* Affecting my work
* I am not able to find time to contribute to Open-Source
* I end up getting regrets daily for sleeping till late hours everyday

Thus, please help me to fix my routine.

An ideal day for me would be where I work with full concentration for the stipulated time for my intern work, then find some time for open-source as well as self-learning (read books/learn new tech), get some exercise to burn off fat and also, help out my parents in some work as well.

Thanks.

I would love to see a DE/distro that more closely emulates macOS. A lot of people will point to Gnome and especially elementary OS for this, but they're really only Mac-like in that they're not Win9x-inspired like most other DEs and take a few design cues from various Apple software (Gnome reminds me more of iOS, and elementaryOS feels distantly related to Mavericks-era macOS).

Of course one can always cobble something together for their own use, whether that be so amalgamation of WM+associated utilities or hammering on KDE or XFCE until it kinda takes on the desired shape, but nothing can replace a purposefully designed, opinionated DE.
Thanks for the feedback!
Totally forgot 24-hr clock was a thing, will add that as a option asap
Maybe I should qualify that with, “outside of China.” If you’re using Apple phones in China, you should assume your data are available to the CCP.

Otherwise, I have yet to see any evidence or indication that Apple collects data in a manner similar to what’s described in this article.
It's a trade off. You can work harder and make more.

Or you can be equally productive, work less, and make the same.

In a world that complains about not having enough time, it's an option that many people seem too timid to take.
We think it's important to find a profitable path to beating Google or Amazon - even the best tech in the world will not convince someone to use your cloud service if they are afraid of counterparty risk.

Our goal is actually to help teams that have unmocked, difficult to test codebases. You can make multiple Layerfiles and share the setup time between them, so that you can run destructive tests with a real database if you want to test that, say, signing up via API works.
FYI if anyone wants to know, the new 2020 Dell XPS 13 (9300) is now available with 32gb of RAM.

Also according to someone on Reddit, Ubuntu 20.04 works flawlessly on it sans fingerprint reader. Dell's website says fingerprint reader support for Linux is coming later in 2020.

It's definitely not a must when using multiple PHP servers, but it sure is common and useful.
Here's my attempt: if a smartphone is a thing that's designed to facilitate the development of secure, robust, powerful client-side software, Urbit is the server-side equivalent. It is (or, aspires to be) the thing in which you can write the server side of a client/server application, and have it be as easy to use as an ios app.

To see what I mean, imagine trying to do a simple client/server use case, e.g. 'I want to share this picture with Grandma', for urbit users. It would be pretty trivial - all of the hard parts (e.g. determining whether the person requesting the file is the person I intended to share it with) are handled by Urbit, in the same way that a smartphone handles screen orientation and touch events for the client software.

So, the vision is that the sort of people who currently have a cloud vm or a linux box in their basement to host a website/email server/game server/etc, would run those things inside urbit to take advantage of its security (it aspires to be literally uncrackable) and builtin functionality (auth, exactly-once messaging, etc).

Obviously, the main problem is that AFAIK none of those apps have been written yet...
Australia, New Zealand, Canada certainly don't.
Very slick. Nicely done. But this service is available for free [0] with a PopClip extension [1].

The new version of Android apps APKM and how to install them
None of those properties are apparent in the videos that have been released. It seems more likely that they'd be a property of the turbulence and relative velocities of the planes vs the re-entry vehicles.

From the videos, you see extreme-speed objects that are banking aggressively, and audio confirmation of them flying in formation. Is there direct evidence of "actively camouflage, hop around like a ping pong ball, stop in midair and turn on a dime"?
The most inwardly digestible lessons are certainly those learned for oneself.

Great teachers recognise this and will give you a task that invites you to make the same errors as they did.

This is the basis of guild apprenticeships, PhD supervision, and 20% time for junior developers.
If you have Intel or AMD graphics work perfectly under Linux. You don't even need to install drivers because they are shipped in the Kernel.

Is Pet Insurance Worth the Cost? and How Much Are They?
If you remember where you found that link, let me know, so I can update it.

>Packages, obviously, is a nice way to install software... If I wanted an appliance - I should set up an alpine vm, install source-hut components I like, point it at a managed postgres instance and a smart mail host - and assume I'll only ever need to do rolling updates via apk - and distro upgrades via alpine?

Yeah, that's about right. Upgrades are done just by running your normal package manager updates.

>Is running on Debian likely to be as smooth?

The Debian repository is community-maintained, but the maintainer does a good job and a few people have reported sucess using his packages. We also set it up so that upstream releases automatically update the Debian repo. You'll have to depend on him for support, though, not me - his nick is dlax and he hangs out in #sr.ht on irc.freenode.net; and his email is given on the package page. He's a helpful fellow.

Alpine Linux is indeed the officially supported platform, though, and I highly recommend it. I wouldn't dream of running a different system in production, Alpine is simple and reliable and it's easy to fit the whole thing into your head.
Very cool! At my previous position we spent a lot of time creating staging environments for QA and UX to use. I love the idea of having an "environment per feature" which can exist for a week while the release candidate gets checked by UX and QA.

The "spin-down" feature sounds like the killer -- the only reason we didn't have an environment per build already is because it would be cost prohibitive. Instead, we tried to time-slice with a static set of staging servers... very frustrating with a 50 person team.
Generate JSON Schemas from Schema.org Classes
They (regrettably) decided to continue to distribute it after all, even though they say they know it is garbage, so as not to seem to be censors. Also, it was far from the only platform that the film had. This is not analogous to actual deplatforming, that goes on on college campuses, for example.
The Council of Niceties obviously
Mind to connect me at info@nascentcore.ai?

We might have something to show.
There you go. "Windows" has been the most consistent in its original naming and is instantly recognisable on its own without the versioning names (XP,Vista,7,8,10). Ubuntu is also the same.

macOS was nearly confusing (was first Mac OS X, OS X and now macOS) but is still recognisable in the software ecosystem with its exact full name still used.

The name "Pop!_OS" on the other hand looks so cryptic that its users have simplified the name to just “Pop OS”. It’s likely that someone will create a distro for the sake of renaming it. I won't be surprised to see a renaming soon.
Great question! Let me get back to you?

You are right, and all of your points are valid. I will definitely be looking into drafting some documents revolving around data integrity and privacy.

As for the prevention of misuse, I've added a data limit per basket and a limit of baskets per Pantry.

If you have any ideas or suggestions - I'm all ears.

Thanks!
