I don't know who gives that advice, but it seems poorly thought out. Email providers already tell people sending email when an address is real or not. You clicking the link would tell them you read your email.

I'm also not sure what you're afraid of. If your account has been in existence for long enough, you already get a lot of spam. It just gets blocked or filtered. The vast majority of your emails that actually get to your inbox are from people trying to do the right thing, not people trying to screw you over.

Marginal Revolution is run by Tyler Cowen who is an economist. He has largely libertarian views and uses economic theory to justify them over the span of about a blog post. I personally don't think that's enough time to make a point about the sorts of things he talks about.

A Student's Perspective on Hacker News
Contact tracing has had poor rates of people opting into it, vaccines are quite a ways out and it's pretty hard to legally mandate and enforce quarantines.

You can't keep people in their homes forever while they lose their jobs.

We aren't seeing a rise in cases in states that have been reopening for more than two weeks. The rate of decline may be lower but they are still in decline.
According to EuroMOMO, Sweden's excess mortality rate this year is "high", France's is "low" and Ireland's is "no excess".

So how does your "if those choices do harm others, we take the consequences" get enforced in practice and doesn't turn into a situation where a few people who don't take care to not infect others will kill millions?

Nothing, really:\ Unfortunately, the direct competitors (Voat et al.) failed to attract enough content or users to be real competitors outside of very narrow communities/interests; ex. /v/linux existed, but it was basically dead, so there was nothing to go there for. So, I use HN more, browse more news aggregators, and hope the fediverse or something can come to fill the void.
Can we also have a 'fundamental reset' of the VC industry which is overcrowded by incompetent sheep VCs?
We're not talking about obsolete hardware. There is a fundamental tradeoff between frequency and power efficiency and even the very newest servers generally choose a point on that tradeoff with more cores at lower frequency. There are also scale effects where you can put a small amount of very fast NVMe storage in a laptop without much of a price premium but to store all your production data on NVMe is possible but might not be financially justifiable.
Amazing! Just followed you on Twitter, and I'll DM you there :) Thank you!

Ah. I misread this as "this world does not exist" and was briefly disappointed.

Briefly.
I like what Deno is selling. URL like import path is great, I don't know why people are dismissing it. It is easy to get up-and-running quickly.

Looks like my personal law/rule is in effect again: The harsher HN critics are, the more successful the product will be. I have no doubt Deno will be successful.

> NumPy core developer Sebastian Berg chimed in as well. He suggested that it could take up to a solid year of work to support subinterpreters in NumPy.

Whoa, that's a shame. I actually found it really easy to patch NumPy to make it PyParallel-compatible -- simply had to tweak the memory allocator stuff: https://github.com/pyparallel/numpy/commit/046311ac1d66cec78...

Example that loaded a 12GB NumPy array and serviced requests in parallel: https://github.com/pyparallel/pyparallel/blob/branches/3.3-p....

I really wish the PyParallel approach gained more traction. Having the solution Windows-only reaaaaally didn't help with having other core developers experiment with the approach.

In one of the other cases, it appears that is exactly what happened, and she’s still getting hell for it. Still unclear if Burr made his own trades or not. Would be simple for any prosecutor to find out though.
In my mind, it came across as Deno(de) :)
Had a similar issue, but switching browsers wasn't an option. This was in a hospital environment in 2002: slow computers, running IE as the standard. A large form with a ton of HTML select dropdowns totally killed performance. Had to rewrite the thing to use just a few (dynamically generating options, before heavy Javascript apps were common), which fixed things.
Trying to separate the commercial landlord story from the WeWork story:

Thinking back to my commercial lease, I did have a clause entitling me to peacefully use the space. If my building had denied anyone access, would that have been grounds to break my lease?

Generally, is it common right now for commercial landlords to be forgoing rent?
I read this back in the day, added some tool which bugged me every 30 minutes and remember enjoying it.

Not sure how I didn't carry it forward onto my subsequent computer, but have definitely pondered re-instituting over the years. Thanks for the re-share of the original justification!
Great, thanks for the feedback!

> One thing that may make this easier is beveling the edges of the tiles slightly so you don't accidentally select letters on either side of the diagonal unintentionally.

Thanks, I'll have a play with that. If you use your web devtools to inspect the HTML, you should see over each letter tile, there's actually an invisible tile on top of each one at a 45 degree angle that's being used as the real touch/mouse target for selecting letters (as accidental selection is awful if you use the actual tile as the target). Maybe there's a more reliable way but playing with the target shapes and sizes will probably help.
When other people go ahead and build billion dollar companies on top of your development you can't "just fix the mistakes"
I used to work with a guy who during his misspent youth was part of a group trying to set a record for the tallest cave systems, so they were looking high in the mountains and for certain geological formations.

The insight he shared with me was that caves don’t form in the softest or most permeable layers of rock. Instead they tend to form above the hardest layers - water wants to seek the lowest level and the only thing to stop it is a layer that’s hard, or impermeable. Whatever is above that is where the water does most of its work, even if there are softer layers further up.

So if I have it right, these dinosaur footprints were made upon a softer layer above very hard material that makes up the base of the cave, and the layer above those two was hard enough that it has so far resisted erosion, leaving effectively a stone cast of a dinosaur foot, rather than a footprint that has somehow been flipped 180 degrees.
That's also a major component for larger subs, but I do actually see the same people over and over in small subs (my city, etc.) if I bother to look at usernames. My eye isn't drawn to the usernames as often as it would be drawn to avatars.

That way it’s still possible to fall into other lazy habits, such as walking with stiff neck and shoulders.

On the other hand, if one aims to relax all limbs (that includes feet) and localize energy expenditures in the abs area as much as possible, “walking with hips” might well be the only remaining acceptable way to walk.
m.2 (NVMe) is so fast and cheap it's absurd. I blinked(a few years) on hardware and when I went shopping for a new disk was blown away by the price to performance.

I was equally as shocked to discover the crap-show that is the m.2 controller space. I felt for sure supermicro would have chassis you could load up with those suckers and they'd be hot-swappable and changing the face of storage. Instead I found proprietary(Intel/AMD) RAID drivers coupled to specific CPU models and expansion cards that could take a measly 4 drives(no hot-swapp).
Funny to hear the author of Ninja say that he's never used CMake...

And they shouldn't have been surprised at the number of Ninja users that were on Windows, Ninja is so much faster than the alternatives if you are using CMake on windows.
What don't you like about forums on mobile? The default phpBB skin is fairly good on mobile in my experience. I don't regularly participate on other forum softwares.
I believe what they are saying is that if their is a correlation between skin color and vitamin D levels (people with darker skin have less vitamin D) and there is another reason people with darker skin have poor outcomes (let’s say bad healthcare), it would make any conclusion that the vitamin D levels have a causal relationship to covid-19 outcomes less likely.

To account for this, you would need to control for skin color.
I'm working on a programmable tooltip on Mac OS X (https://github.com/tanin47/tip), as in you can write your own script (ruby/python/bash) to provide tooltip items.

It's my first real app on Mac OS X. I started the app before the covid crisis though.

But these days I have so much time to iterate on it...

You’re welcome!

Current systems simulate about 30k simple bodies. So that is already off by 3 orders of magnitude.

And that is a basic simulation, nothing complex, no fancy physics simulated, just rigid collisions.

Even if you could simulate the numbers you propose, 320 voxels per side is really low. Each voxel would be around a centimeter wide, which would look very bad (compared to the usual way of doing things).
The problem is that extension behaviour is very limited without the https://*/* permission.

Say you have an extension that implements spelling check or grammar check. That need access to every single website to find the text fields it want to add functionality too.

Same thing with a password manager extension, can't find the login boxes without the https://*/* permission.

You want to read data off any page users are on, or add ui elements to every page users are on, or modify style shares to any page, you need that global permission.

About the only extensions that don't need global https permissions are extensions that are designed to only work on a finite set of websites (facebook improvement extensions, or reddit improvement extensions), or things like push-bullet that don't really need to be a chrome extension in the first place, they could be implement as a system tray applet.

This isn't the fault of extensions, this is the fault of chrome for not providing ways to do things without full wildcard https://*/* permissions.

That's been my general thought. Legally a company can fire you for any reason except the ones they aren't allowed too. Trying to undermine a companies diversity policies on a company owned channel when said company already has public problem with diversity, good way to get 86'd.

What’s your metric? I can’t find a country doing worse than Sweden. Even the US has slowed its growth rate by a large amount more than Sweden. Just look at the plots, dude.
I completely agree, I have 4 kids and a full time job. Helping them with their homework all day is a full time job as it is. My teams manager has noticed a reduction is everyone’s productivity; due to kids, mental health, stress, etc and has been quite forgiving so far as long as we’re clearly getting work done.
Building the Redis API using DynamoDB as the storage backend. I want a way to have storage that can handle any load without having to provision server or pay when it wasn’t being used. Dynamo is superb, but the API is too low level and arcane to use directly.

Unfortunately, not in the case of Tesla.

Every subsystem is a computer, even the door handles.

Also, the battery is at the wheel level, so Teslas are more prone to flood damage than any other car.

> What with the panic these mediums generate, you have to wonder if cars would have gotten off the ground and become commonplace or if they would have just been panic banned.

They tried: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/murder-machines/

It was opposed by a concerted effort from car companies and other advocates to depict car skeptics as out of touch and paranoid, and to simultaneously lobby for a bunch of new laws around right of way, jaywalking, and so on. It may well be that if YouTube and cable news had existed then, the concerned advocates would have carried the day and North America might have built a robust, high speed rail network instead of the interstates, with every major metro area having the comprehensive regional rail needed to bring commuters in from suburbs without private vehicles.

We can't know exactly what that alternate present would have looked, but there are many for whom it might have been much better (though definitely not car companies or airlines, of course).

This is actionable advice. The action is to create an offer that is not entirely depeneent on a single platform provider. Don't build browser extensions for just a single browser. Don't build an app based business solely around an iOS or Android app - support both platforms. And so on.

Once again the lack of media coverage on this is appalling.

I often encourage (and practice myself) looking for a tip email address to your favorite outlets and sending them...well a tip when there’s a story going on they haven’t yet reported, but one feels especially is need of wider dissemination.

Feels almost civic.

Strongly encouraging it here, too :)
IMO, reddit is the last remaining place to find genuine, user opinions on products. I've taken to adding "reddit" to all my google searches when I'm researching which product to buy; for example, I typed "DT 770 reddit headphones" in google when I was looking up which headphones to buy. Reviewers rave about that pair, but looking up real user experiences of them made me decide they weren't for me. Over time even that's becoming less useful, as memes overtake the platform and you can't find people talking about more niche products, but that's still the most useful any social network has been for me.

Digitizing some old family movies. On the lockdown front, it's been nice seen pictures of family. Technically, I've had a number of side quests along the way that were more challenging than actually digitizing the old tapes.

If you're thinking about doing the same, for formats and media, I settled on:

DVDs: yes, they're old, but they support more resolution than VHS, and practically every new Bluray player still plays them. Also, DVDs support 352x480 resolution. It's still more than VHS, and you can squeeze more content on the disc or encode it at a higher quality.

VP9+Opus+webm on a DVD. This codec/container combo is supported by Firefox, Chrome, Windows Media Player, and Android, so while new, I expected it to be supported for a long time. AV1 looks promising, but probably not ready.

I'm not bothering, but for iOS, use x264 and AAC in an mp4 container. Those were the only modern codecs and containers I got to work. Also, Apple, x264 and x265 are good, and all, but there's no excuse to not support VP9.

I'm saving the unencoded files as ffv1/flac in an mkv container.

For the actual DVDs, I'm using MDisc archival media.

Ultimately: risk. Scientists can model infection and suggest whether it makes sense to continue restrictions or not. In fact, they do just that and executives like Governors consult experts for matters like this one.

Risk can go down if: (1) much of the population becomes immune [after vaccination or recovery from infection e.g.], (2) treatments arrive that mitigate the impact of sickness, (3) some novel isolation equipment/methods arrive that reduce the spread of disease.
Some compatibility with Npm modules would have been better choice for adoption.

Profiling is really useful for any moderately complex application, particularly where you have dependencies upon a bunch of third party code.

While your code may look all nice and sane, not have any glaring performance issues - what you may not realise is that you're using a framework that does things in unexpected ways.

The devs I work with are running into the reality of this at the moment - they blame the servers/network/database/whatever as being slow/shit/etc.

I go take a look and see that network traffic is at capacity.
They've got some 'magic' caching framework that promises to speed things up by storing data in Redis.
What's happening in the background though is that this caching framework is doing dumb things like asking for the same key over and over again - so we've got a multi-Gbit stream of the same handful of keys being asked for thousands of times a second.

These are the sorts of things profiling can tell you just by looking at the amount of calls to Redis.
You have to consider the threat through the whole request.

You start on your computer and jump to the VPN instead of the destination website. Is the VPN hosted in a different country that refuses to work the US? Do you trust them to not do anything else shady? Do you trust that the encryption you are using will not be broken before your death, because the NSA is logging traffic to other countries, especially ones that won't cooperate with the US.

Then you have to hop from the VPN to the destination website anyway, is that jump really more secure than the jump from your device directly to the destination? Is the destination site tracking you?

VPNs are for moving your traffic off the airport network or Starbucks wifi, not defeating a nation state.

This is where culture really matters. Almost every jurisdiction in the western world has faced this issue. Governments are issuing orders that, when push comes to shove, might not be 100% legitimate in the eyes of a court. In most countries that hasn't mattered. People acknowledge the covid problem and are obeying the "orders" despite them, perhaps, not having legal teeth. This requires trust. Like the current politicians or not, most populations respect their governments and are willing to support emergency measures in the short term. Whether they voted for them or not, they trust that their leaders are not evil.

But what about the US? If all government is corrupt, if all taxes are sin, if all leaders on the other side are traitors to the cause, the people will never respect those in charge. The people don't obey the "orders" nor follow advice. Then they wrap themselves in the flag and actively work against the measures in the name of freedom. That cultural chicken has now come home to roost.

This state supreme court could have delayed. Cases take years to get to state supreme courts. They could easily have pushed this case until after this disease has come and gone. Instead they pushed this through in order to get a quick victory over a governor with whom they disagree politically.
