Thanks! 50 is the gateway to being a serious rider, so yeah, you're gonna want some cycling groups to play with when COVID is over. And you'll LOVE it.

I live in a big town, so I have multiple overlapping groups, which is a wonderful thing. One club is called "Tap & Pedal" -- we meet at a brewery (there are LOTS in Houston), ride a brisk 50-60 miles, and then relax together after with some post-ride refreshments.

Something I've found about cycling is that my cycling friends are a VASTLY more diverse group than the rest of my social set. I'm an upper-middle-class white 50 year old dude of the NPR persuasion, and our normal social set reflects this.

The cycling crowd is all over the map in terms of ethnic background, education, level of political engagement, income, and age. It's only through that that I really even KNOW 30-year-olds (or 65+ year olds).

The big tent pole for cycling organization in Houston is the annual Multiple Sclerosis ride every spring; if there's something like that where you live, it'd be a great way to find a home group.
I'd be interested to hear the conflict that you describe between utilitarianism and morals. From my perspective, the two are entirely orthogonal. Morals define what one should optimize (e.g. minimize the number of unnecessary deaths, improve human comfort), and utilitarianism defines how to achieve those goals (for each action, determine how much it achieves those goals).
There is a substantial delay between the time of the actual trades and their filing, so any edge they might have had is long gone by the time you have access to the data.
>because I didn't have any experience with the particular boost library they were using. (A library that will be mostly obsolete by C++20)

Brave of you to assume they'd be able to use C++20. Unfortunately HFTs are just as susceptible to "stuck on an ancient version of GCC" as any other C++ shop, so maybe you dodged a bullet there.
> CSVs are human readable and writeable and humans tend to have a comma sign on their keyboard

Do people usually compose CSV data by hand? I thought they would use a program like Excel, enter or generate their data in separate cells and then save the file as a CSV. There's no reason why a program like Excel (or any other program for that matter) couldn't use the record separator instead of a comma as a delimiter when generating or consuming such files.
I'm not really sure what this proves. All it tells us is that majority of Americans will not download a contact tracing app.

There is nothing stopping Apple and Google from rolling this out in the OS, and they've both confirmed that they intend to do this[1]

"Later this year, Apple and Google will include the tool in software updates, meaning users can log contacts without having to download an app."

They have every right to make it involuntary if they want to, and the only recourse users have is to decide to stop using iPhones or Androids. I'm sure there will be some people that choose to do that, but not nearly enough to keep adoption below the necessary 60%.

It does not help that US long term policy is strategic ambiguity and one China policy as well.

The goal of ambiguity is prevent unilateral declaration of independence by Taiwan and an invasion of Taiwan at the same time.
Just thinking aloud here, but maybe not because testosterone is bad in this case, but because estrogen is protective. I've heard, but I don't have a source, that women fair better than men in many health aspects right up to menopause and then it reverses. If anyone knows of a citation for or against that I'd love a link.
The metric system, being French in origin, would certainly use the comma!
The suggestion is nice though since an attacker would have to break both at once. If you conceal an SSH server, you'd first break the obscurity, then proceed with attacking the SSH server. The suggestion seems to be that you would have to break the cryptographic part to reveal the server (which is then supposedly secured by "normal" cryptographic means, such as a regular SSH server). That is, you are dealing with cryptography just to be sure the server exists at all.
Because men in 2020 have statistically lower testosterone than men decades before them.
That's neat idea, but I think the reporting lag is too long to action it. Would still be good for retroactive benchmarketing.

Also consider that extremely wealthy senators (many are) might only have a small part of their assets in stocks and could be part of a bigger financial strategy, as a hedge against other asset classes rather than an indicator of where they or their agent thinks the market will move.
Then what is that thing behind your eyes, experiencing itself? It need not be magic but at the same time, there is not even a suggestion of true scientific understanding of the nature of it. There could probably be a robot created that perfectly mimics human input/output. The question remains, would that robot necessarily posses consciousness and what is it's nature?
Some companies offer salary adjustments based on where you live.
Because they're asserting causality. The wealth of these people is what enables them to leave. That's the point of the article.

Show HN: A tool to see the orgchart of any company
If you're scared of cheap knockoffs, it's exactly the perception that your product is somehow superior that you want. Part of that might be less risk exposure to lawsuits for incorporating stolen IP.

But if you eliminate the legal option, the grey area alternative becomes normalized.

IP is also a highly artificial construct. If all documents were suddenly in the open, and your competitors are suddenly able to build a better product, how comfortable can you be that you can actually compete on quality?
Those men likely suffer from low T. One of the associated diseases that go along with Covid-19 deaths is diabetes - most men with diabetes have terrible Testosterone profiles. In addition those men, as we know from the stats are unhealthy as they come generally.

NYT is just a clickbait factory, but so are all major media outlets. The narratives people want right now are 'rich vs. poor' and 'coronavirus scary, China bad'. It's fair to criticize them, but it's like being mad a hot dog vendor is selling hot dogs.
I use a private email server.
To be honest this is how it should be. I am customer of the restaurant and waiter is employee of same restaurant. I am not paying tip to clerk in bank, nor to the hairdressers, etc. In Japan tip is not only discouraged but waiters wouldn't even accept one. Why they can do it and we don't?
This seems like a winner to me. Iterating a graph along some association explains the ordering mentioned in the blog post, and explains the breadth of connectivity.
I worked on TurboVar EmailBroker, a self hosted email sender application that lets you send emails via 5 popular email API service providers.

With TurboVar EmailBroker you can use a concise and uniform API to send emails using REST requests. If you prefer no-code, you can use a Web UI page.

It was launched this week. Check it at https://turbovar.com/turbovar/emailbroker.jsp

I wish all the luck to CodePlay, the more success the better for them.

They are well appreciated among game developers, given their background.

My problem is how Khronos happens to sell their APIs, and let everyone alone to create their own patched SDKs and then act surprised that commercial APIs end up winning the hearts of the majority.

The situation has hardly changed since I did my thesis with OpenGL in late 90's, porting a particles visualization engine from NeXTSTEP to Windows.

Nothing that compares with CUDA, Metal, DirectX, LibGNMX, NVN tooling.

Hence my reference to CodePlay, as for very long time their SDK was the only productive way to use SYCL.

Khronos likes to oversell the eco-system, and usually the issues and disparities across OEMs tend to be "forgotten" on their marketing materials.
People running away from a plague in their city is an entirely common, natural, and understandable reaction. But rather than expressing sympathy, the Times is making it a class warfare thing. The leavers "do not resemble the city as a whole", the article says: they're richer, and more likely to have a college degree, and "mostly white".
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I see in your review comments that I'm supposed to be able to add custom container names in the options... but I'm not finding them. Do I have to add through CSS?

Thank you for starting such an interesting thread.
Going through all the comments a few days after the question was asked is very rewarding ! So many books marked as 'to read' :)

My contribution:
If you're not familiar with Quantum Physics, do check out 'Through Two doors at once'. There were numerous instances while reading the book that I had to just put it down and think deeply - mostly philosophical thoughts around what we are and how magical nature is. The subject matter is very very approachable - even to someone like me who hasn't read a physics book in like a decade.

The whole unit weighs 40lbs (~18kg). The default power supply output 380 watts, and there was an optional larger one with 480.

Still applies to standard insider trading law. It's not like a CEO's spouse can trade the company's stock after hearing about his/her day at work.
Source on that? Or just a quip about a lack of perceived "toughness"?

Asking because there are many components that are involved and we need to have a reasonable understanding to diagnose and fix an issue (in control plane or in worker) if it occurs.

My god, it looks even worse than no security by default. It gives you a false sense of security then unlocks in your back when you are not watching.
And specifically, being at a heathy weight. It seems everyone's dancing around the elephant in the room, talking about "low testosterone" or "type II diabetes" as being co-morbidities.

See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3955331/ for one of many sources for the link between obesity and low testosterone. Obesity just cost our nation several trillion dollars.

People on Hacker News don't like to talk about this, either, because the Computer Programmer community is also affected by obesity.
Like I said, it just 'perhaps wrongly' stands out more.

I have said the same thing in threads where people are arguing over whether or not an author's sexist for saying 'him' or something though. Particularly on HN those cases are more likely to draw other top-level complaints from a political or societal perspective, I don't care about that, I just think it's annoying and bad grammar.
Remote positions are not monolithic. Some are highly selective and highly compensated. Others are the opposite. If you're looking at a random cross section of the global remote opportunity pool, you're likely going to see reversion to mean that reflects that.
For math, I recommend looking into Cuisenaire Rods. It will help the kids physically understand number reasoning.

I know the point is to avoid getting COVID but... the hospitals in NYC, even in a crisis, are SO much better than they are out in the Hamptons (and other non-urban areas). It's night and day in terms of quality and resources.

I purposefully stayed in [other big city] for this reason, rather than going home. Seems very short-sighted to leave if you're that concerned.
I didn't use this tool, I instead used Senate Stock Watcher [0]. But a cursory review [1] of the trades made by senators showed the amounts to be very small (66% of trades were < 15k) and the typical Senator is a millionaire. In the 4 month period I analyzed, only 3 trades were between 250-500k.

I looked at performance as well, but its tough to benchmark these things. There were net outflows in the market during that period and if you sold you did relatively well in a falling market, so the typical trade did well. But the relatively small size of the trades makes me skeptical that insider information was used. Matt Levine said it best:

> Of course they could be lying, but in context the defense seems pretty plausible. (Kelly Loeffler, for instance, controversially dumped about 0.6% of her portfolio at around the same time, which sure seems like the sort of thing an investment adviser would do without any input from her? You could call your adviser and say “a disaster is coming, sell everything!,” but calling them to say “a disaster is coming, sell a tiny bit!” seems pointless.)

But this doesn't include William Barr as he is not a Senator.

This is a positive bias IMO, and any negative reactions that bubble up in the replies are going to be more useful.
Certainly not unwarranted! Very cool idea, I will send the link also to my workplace chat. I will have a look but at first sight I'm missing some indication about the expected age of the students.
If those characters had a visual representation and were easily typeable and we settled on using them as separators then we would struggle escaping those special characters within records. The problem is lack of standardization, not lack of special characters for record separators.
for my internet-facing machines I black-hole everything below 1024 and move SSH to something high but easy enough to remember like 22222
I think one nuance is lost on both articles: web-development is generally stuck in a system where all the incentives are wrong.

- The developers want to prove themselves with a new technology

- The site owner wants to make money, so adds are required

- The website needs to "verify identity" to cut down on fraud, so invasive trackers are added

- The finance team wants to cut down on infrastructure costs, so they want less done on the servers

- The user wants to do what they came for done, but may be frustrated by how the site slows down the browser

This tug-of-war is a lot of what leads to slow, resource-intensive, privacy-invading websites.
Why don’t you have a quick look at the map that they show, and observe that it’s not Manhattan VS Queens or Brooklyn.

It’s some specific regions of Manhattan that are know to have some of the priciest residential real estate.

The title is not clickbait: it’s a very concise representation of the truth.

If they wrote “Manhattan”, that would imply places like Harlem as well, and you can clearly see that almost nobody above, say, 128th St left.
Amplified learning is critical for a startup because you are searching for value in dark space. To find value you have to package up attempts and fire them into the dark space to see if anything hits.

Fire the value attempt when it is ready, not when some artificial sprint interval finishes!
It happens. XPM/PBM/XBM lost to TIFF (and later PNG). Postscript lost to PDF. OpenOffice.org XML couldn't displace Excel's Binary File Format.

As much as I wish that beauty or usability was the primary indicator of market success, the simpler explanation that explains all of these (including CSV) is: Microsoft Office supported them.

You make a good point, Covid barely bothered men before late 2019.
Bingo, plus they are deep in R&D of 5nm with Apple having placed large orders already. Their 5nm plan sees shipping products WAY before intel's 7nm.
The word "key" does not reveal if it's positive or negative, just that it's important. On the other hand - nor does the article. Variance could be explained not only by testosteronje levels, but also by behavior and environemnt. You know - men and women differ.
Every Carrier Battle Group has two ships in it that are essentially devoted to just protecting the carrier whether from missiles or other threats. We've yet to see how effective systems like Aegis are against anti-ship missiles (though I'm sure the DoD has done plenty of tests) but it's far from clear that anti-ship missiles obsolete carriers. And given that China is starting their own carrier fleets I'm guessing they don't think things are so clear cut either.

The Exocet was made way back in the early 70's yet carriers and surface fleets in general still aren't obsolete.
This CoViD outbreak is the worst on record, you’re right.
This map looks suspiciously like a population density map.
It's not just a clickbait factory, it's also a major media outlet with general respect. "Top 11 reasons the coronavirus is racist (you won't BELIEVE #6)" doesn't make it to the front page of HN, so as long as the NYT does we should hold it to a higher standard.
If someone copy-pastes a line from one CSV to a string within a field of another, the second will have record separators from the first within a single field.
If you do a lot of searching for development keywords on Google, you get invited to https://www.google.com/foobar/
If it works without JS enabled that way, but works the current way with JavaScript, what's the problem?
You have brought up my largest concern over weaponizing IP and means of production. This might help Trump’s ability to win a second term, but I argue that long term we are forcing China and large parts of the world to develop their own tech and become stronger competitors.

I know that our system of government does not optimize long term gain, but this case seems especially bad.
I suspect this time they will be able to make it stick, even if a new government comes into power in following years. The options, particular for desktop linux, have gotten better since the last time they tried it.
No idea, just linking corroborative authoritative sources as the Medium piece offered few and (last I checked) Skype's status page had nothing.

That said, I'm not a user.
No need to look, I lived there long enough and have been to every province. Despite the still existing poverty is the internal market large enough already for many products.

However, China is not quite there yet when it comes to technology (hence the many Chinese students in Western universities), but they are well on the way.

Just in the first 3 paragraphs of the article:

> ...An analysis of multiple sources of aggregated smartphone location data has found.

You need a smartphone and apps/settings that enable aggregation of location data. This is not something that is going to be evenly distributed throughout the city. Further, that is likely to be primarily advertising data, so quality is less than you would desire. How many people are going to be counted twice when you merge this data together?

> Roughly 5 percent of residents — or about 420,000 people — left the city between March 1 and May 1.

That's not a lot of people for NYC.

> Some of these areas are typically home to lots of students, many of whom left as colleges and universities closed

There are nearly 600,000 college students in NYC[1]. That's more than the number of people that left!

As someone who is not an american nor a chinese nor from a big European nation this is all frightening to watch.

It's an invisible war of nations and we dont really have a clue about allegiances nor what is right or wrong.

Sure as a european I feel more connected to the US but at the same time I feel very much excluded from that larger sphere protection and benefits.

The US needs a framework for smaller nations where we can build better relations.
That could be inconvenient in Australia no?
The point is still about ergonomics though. The AST for Rust or D is still complicated enough that you typically won't do the kind of thing you might do in a lisp just due to startup cost. Lisp because of it's extremely limited syntax makes it considerably easier. The sorts of things you'll feel free and capable of doing in a lisp macro are ergonomically harder to do in a Rust or D macro.

You might argue, quite convincingly, that Rust and D have valuable ergonomic barriers to doing some of those things since macros have a non-trivial cost in your codebase regarding complexity and readaiblity. But the ergonomics of a macro is Lisp are pretty close to the optimal for ease of use.
> I still say for the poor level of diversification within & around asset classes that I don’t see a lot of shining examples of how to achieve success.

Wouldn't you expect a poor level of diversification in a stock portfolio based on corruption? They aren't dollar cost averaging and diversifying. They're doing the exact opposite to maximize the trade.

The Truth About BizCounsel's $65 a Month for a “Dedicated Lawyer”
The title is reflective of the article itself, which uses data to show that the wealth of an NYC neighborhood’s inhabitants is on average directly correlated with the extent to which those inhabitants left during the last few months.

Alternatively the article could have “just” listed the boroughs as you suggest, but this would raise the question of why some boroughs emptied out and not others (also why there is visible clustering within those boroughs’ neighborhoods). This is the question the article tries to address.
I can't speak for the commenter, but it's pretty obvious lately that the major media outlets love to hit low hanging fruit like class warfare to get outrage and ad views.
I was surprised to hear of blatant Covid-related insider trading by individuals in government, either some really are too stupid to know better or they feel impunity. I fear it's the latter.
I see in the article

"It is well established that plasma testosterone concentration is reduced by age and comorbidities like obesity, diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [7], all comorbidities highly prevalent in COVID-19 patients."

but I never see any discussion of people who are without those comorbidities. I know they are asking for more research to be done, but at this point, and unless there's evidence presented to the contrary, I think it's probably safe to assume it's general unhealthiness.
A closer analogy would be Marlboro selling cigarettes.
In case of government spend it is hard for me to comprehend why almost no place in the world has fully open source gov technology. Governments everywhere spend these insane amounts on really bad software :/
