That doesn't contradict anything I wrote.
I'm trying to figure out if this article is actually saying anything or saying effectively nothing.

> Even in hotspots like New York City that have been hit hardest by the pandemic, initial studies suggest that perhaps 15-21%6,7 of people have been exposed so far.

(goes on to mention how many people are dying)

> Some have entertained the idea of “controlled voluntary infection,”9 akin to the “chickenpox parties” of the 1980s. However, COVID-19 is 100 times more lethal than the chickenpox.

(goes on to completely dismiss whether that would actually lead to some level of herd immunity)

I get that the disease is more deadly. But is this one of those cases where it's better to pull hard and rip the band-aid off in one go? Nobody seems to really want to broach this topic seriously.

> To reach herd immunity for COVID-19, likely 70% or more of the population would need to be immune. Without a vaccine, over 200 million Americans would have to get infected before we reach this threshold. Put another way, even if the current pace of the COVID-19 pandemic continues in the United States – with over 25,000 confirmed cases a day – it will be well into 2021 before we reach herd immunity. If current daily death rates continue, over half a million Americans would be dead from COVID-19 by that time.

It's unclear to me whether the author is stating that herd immunity would take too long under the condition that we completely opened up the global economy or if we all continued to stay isolated.

We're definitely not going to reach 70% with the way things are.

Employment in information fell by 254,000 in April, driven by a decline in motion picture and sound recording
industries (-217,000).

The labor force participation rate decreased by 2.5 percentage points over the month to 60.2 percent, the lowest
rate since January 1973 (when it was 60.0 percent). Total employment, as measured by the household survey, fell
by 22.4 million to 133.4 million. The employment-population ratio, at 51.3 percent, dropped by 8.7 percentage points
over the month. This is the lowest rate and largest over-the-month decline in the history of the series (seasonally
adjusted data are available back to January 1948). (See table A-1.)

Yes any managed language that has support out of the box for AOT or JIT compilers.

Go, any JVM language, any .NET language, OCaml, Haskel, D, JavaScript/TypeScript

As alternative you can try to use PyPy instead of CPython.

Yeah, it's scary how much evidence is building that this virus leaves long term or permanent damage in a significant fraction of survivors.

Also the next thing that comes along (and as our human monoculture grows, that will happen more and more frequently) might be much scarier. I feel like the silver lining to our current situation is that it's forcing us to set up our society to limit contagion so that when we do run across a new pathogen which is highly contagious, has a long incubation time, and is highly deadly, maybe we'll stand a chance.

The hype around renewable never ceases to amaze me.

The complete absence of any critical journalism is just astounding.

So many "in the future" "potential" "could" "might" "eventually" in these kind of articles.

It's a pilot project, they don't know if it will work but they might have some software that can help it and a breakthrough method that might work.

Amazing if they manage to do it, I wouldn't count on it personally.
I still care because it's a strong indicator for the culture at Lenovo. If they were willing to do this then what else might they be doing that we haven't discovered yet.
According to that article: "There must be some act or some knowing omission on the part of the principal - if the agent alone acts to give the third party this false impression, then the principal is not bound" which makes it seem that it would not just be a matter of the agent's (person who released the code) affiliation with EdgeFS, but also about what knowledge EdgeFS had and what actions (or more importantly lack of action) EdgeFS may have previously taken.

The article also indicates "The agent must have been held out by someone with actual authority to carry out the transaction and an agent cannot hold himself out as having authority for this purpose." Which makes it seem that EdgeFS would not be bound to any actions taken by someone who they had never presented as having the authority to take those actions.

So, very complex here, and appears that the issue of apparent authority is largely bound to a lot of other factors, not just association or lack thereof.

It would be trivial to x-ray it and verify - at the given scale and component count, anything unwanted would be glaringly obvious. You wouldn’t even have to just do a sample, as the time to analyse would be short, and the total number of units finite - do all of them.
>we'd be left with basic auth over https

Or with session ID in URL. It's a valid mechanism - works reliably, is fast, and doesn't require special support in browsers. Remember the '?PHPSESSID=...' littered all over the early internet? Yeah that one.

Of course there are some caveats, which made cookies win in the end:

* it must be applied to every internal link in the website

* it's equivalent of a "session cookie" (no persistence after browser is closed)

* it's a privacy risk when sharing the URL via copy/paste

* it's subject to 'session fixation' attack (related to the previous caveat)

Presumably the last two could be fixed by an extra HTTP header or special in-browser handling of a designated parameter, similarly to how CORS got handled.
I guess I'm conflating Waffen-SS with the SS itself (which is a superset). Waffen-SS is the military branch, and it says this on Wikipedia:

> Originally, it was under the control of the SS Führungshauptamt (SS operational command office) beneath Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler.

Which I interpreted ("originally") as being Himmler's creation.

I can totally understand why this is a constant source of fascination for programmers. It's a one possible answer to the question "What would I do if I was stranded on a deserted island with a working computer but no OS?". We use all this software developed by other people, and many of us wonder how much of that we could make ourselves, given enough time.
Lol, tell that to my coworkers who take days trying to fix some problem with their Pycharm, while I just keep coding on my trusty Emacs.
Somewhat unrelated but, there are some WordPress themes that are trying to keep the bytes sent minimum. One such example is: https://sustywp.com/ and there's an excellent article by its author: https://blog.jacklenox.com/2018/06/04/delivering-wordpress-i...
Only vehicular traffic from delivery drivers, first responders, sanitation crews and residents are allowed access.

So not exactly "closed" – just not suited to through traffic. Lots of neighborhoods do this with speed bumps, 20mph limits, capping roads off, 'Mini Hollands' and other traffic calming measures. All good stuff, but still doesn't quite mean you can let the kids out to play in the street all day, alas.

Not necessarily. You can work hard on something and still not cover all the bases, leaving the door open for abuse somewhere else. A corporation is not a single unit. Some are working hard on one avenue, some on another. It just happens that one avenue is squeezing more profit and if this comes at the price of treating employees as fungible units and firing "inconvenient" ones so be it.
The tweet was different though (and AFAIK, much earlier):
"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China."

It clearly mentions that they're relaying what Chinese authorities are saying.

If you read e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/09/trump-vs-... the timeline of things is quite different than what you state.

I also don't see how this influenced anything. It took almost every country way too long to respond. Loads of countries thought it'll be fine for them.
A US administration which was still insisting that they were on the cusp of eliminating it in late March and is actively encouraging public disobedience of disease control measures for partisan reasons has decided it's the WHO's fault. This inevitably means discussion of their claims dominates the news cycle where many HN readers are based.

[The fact the criticism is politically driven is also why people are focusing to political trivia like WHO treating One China as a reality like all other major national and transnational organizations and attributing positions actually made by Trump's domestic critics to the WHO, and paying less attention to the WHO's dubious stances which might have actually cost lives, such as their position on masks]

For sure. But I think the point the @gewa trying to make is that yes in the strict academic/technical sense it is correct, however in every day English people probably use "strain" to mean Clad. But not everyone is a evolutionary biologist of some sort.
There's a little bit of truth here, in that just ripping off someone else's successful design (of almost anything, not just landing pages) and applying it to your own situation is unlikely to get you the same results.

However, I think the author could have fleshed out a little more the fine line between stealing without insight and using as a starting point or learning guide for your own process. There's a very long history in copywriting of keeping a "swipe file" of headlines, ad copy, etc. that have performed well to learn from and use as inspiration.

Git Best Practices to Start Using in Your Next Commit
I think you are right, except that the article reads as if they were using a loadbalancer that wasn't in their control (a third-party service). If you can't control your loadbalancer to not pass requests when you're overloaded, the next best thing is to keep track of it on each node, and basically do what the article described.

I love(d) the idea of Keybase but I always had in the back of my mind that it was too good to be true.

I agree that was quite disappoint as it was one of the large reasons I bought my T470. And for those who are saying hey just use an external, that's great until your internal battery starts dying and replacing it becomes a nightmare (which for less tech savvy people it's much easier just to swap the external than dealing with the internal).
There are many great ideas in his OS and programming language.

One idea I miss very often while programming: embed info like pictures in your code (as comment).

It would be great to add flowcharts, diagrams, screenshots into code as comments (an IDE could collapse this as needed).

Does anyone know if there are languages that also can do this?

> The things we miss most about our pre-pandemic lives—dine-in restaurants and recreational travel, karaoke nights and baseball games—require more than government permission to be enjoyed. These activities are predicated not only on close human contact but mutual affection and good-natured patience, on our ability to put up with one another. Governors can lift restrictions and companies can implement public-health protocols. But until we stop reflexively seeing people as viral threats, those old small pleasures we crave are likely to remain elusive.

At this rate, life will not fully return to normal until a substantial share of the population has been vaccinated.
Fixed. And thanks, that typo was really bad.
It kind of depends how big this is going to get. I'm using Java/Spring/Thymeleaf right now for an "enterprise" project but that has certain considerations: it may have a 20+ year long lifespan, it may in the future have to be worked on by inexperienced developers. So Java is a nice choice because it pretty much forces you to write self-documenting OO code. Spring Boot is good here because it has default implementations for practically everything (login, security, etc) and you don't have to write custom code that someone will have to maintain. But it has a fairly long learning curve.

On the other hand I've used Python/Flask in previous projects and that's nice because it's quick and easy. If you just want to write a few CRUD methods/endpoints that are a thin web veneer on top of your database, and it's for use by a small group of users, that's much more "productive". Quick to learn and start, and then you can add more functionality (like authentication) on incrementally when you need them.
It's not "your own platform", that's what the article gets wrong. The entire purpose of SGX is that it's my platform (that I can control/be assured that you can't), running on your hardware.
I agree that current sandboxes and even current compilers/toolchains do not provide these rigorous guarantees, as of yet. WASM/WASI is however quite simple, and could thus be up to the challenge. It's certainly simpler than MS's Singularity approach.

Wow, the title does not make it justice: I only went to look at it in an idle moment after lunch. Much better to transcribe the beginning of the video:

4D Toys is a toy box filled with 4-dimensional toys.

By 4-dimensional I mean that they exist in a world with 4 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time, instead of 3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time.

It turns out that the rules of how objects bounce, slide and roll around can be generalized to higher dimensions, and this unique toy lets you experience what that would look like.
Graphine is one of those blue sky black swan research topics that has the potential to fundamentally change what we can do with what we have.

Yeah, you can only use SGX-like systems when the reward from breaking them is limited since they can all be broken given sufficient resources (or even just insider knowledge).

For example, it might be fine as a way to guarantee the integrity of things like Folding@Home where disruption provides no gain other than the satisfaction of successful vandalism, but not for securing a popular cryptocurrency.
The continent of Australia is massive. It contains many distinct ecosystems.

Referring to Australia as being "close to China" is like saying Russia is close to England. It's its own continent.

To put it in more concrete terms, any (direct) flight you look up from Wuhan to any city in Australia is 12+ hours. That's a much longer flight than New York to London.

I think VSCode is a very mouse-centric experience. Using Emacs I don't touch my mouse. It's a far more efficient and comfortable (less straining) experience, for me anyway. I use both Emacs and VSCode but vastly prefer the Emacs experience. I also use Emacs for much more than simply writing code.

Emacs is also more pleasant to use because it's simply faster. VSCode is slow compared. I'm not talking about application startup time, but just about every operation you do. VSCode stutters and hitches all over the place. Input latency might also be worse, but I don't know, that's just what it feels like. It also lacks many of Emacs' powerful features like helm swooping, which is of course customized just the way I like it. VSCode's "search in all files" just doesn't cut it. And symbol fuzzy search is just for symbols, not all text. Code navigation in Emacs is lightning fast, with the right setup. My Emacs config makes a distribution tailored for me.

A great advantage Emacs used to have over other IDEs and some editors was that you would use it for all/any language. Now with editors like VSCode, which has great support for many languages, it has lost this advantage.
