I agree except your 3rd paragraph, because I dont think that would have the intended result. It breaks the findamental concept.

I read your comment as agreeing with Equal Protection. In the end we are talking about the penality for framing or depervation of rights under the color of law. It should apply to everyone. It's easy to point out the problem, but proposing a slution is much harder. Juries are the real firewall, but they depend on the knowledgebase of the jurors.

It's one of these things that a direct "of x then y" prob isnt going to work. Giving the public direct access to lower level raw information is what I would like to start with: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23232250

Imagine if we could script Pacer stats....

EDIT: hit my comment limit for the night, good point about the DA; in that case, it's the next level up from juries; the electorate. The DA is only accountable to them if they make them so, and public opinion does not always wait until the next election, bad PR is fixed astonishingly quickly if the DA's boss feels the pressure. If you have another idea, please propose it.
It would be nice if both waveshaping graphs were side by side so I don't have to keep scrolling up and down to change the function, and so I can see the waveform at the same time as the transfer function.
they are all despicable to me. I boycott amazon and apple for those reasons. Google is so entrenched in everyone's life that is much harder to let go. And that's why I keep trying to get rid of it... nothing left holds me except the huge amount of google docs that I share with many others

No-knock is obviously unavoidable at times. But it should only be done by specially trained police units, including the training not to shoot unarmed people. I believe it's done this way in most Western countries.
Visualizing quaternions. An explorable video series
The post has annoying little errors that make it harder to read. The figure says BA286, and the text says "BA287 means British Airways flight 287". So does that mean you always add 1 to the flight number shown on the screen, to get the actual flight number? "388 equipment type: 389 refers to Airbus A380-800". Again, you add 1 to the number shown on the screen? Why does "389" mean "A380-800" and not "A380-900"?
I realize it's possible to figure out that these are just typos and you don't really mean "take the number shown on the screen and add 1 to it to get the actual flight number", but why would you make your readers deal with that kind of confusion?

I'm totally with you on the inclusion part, everyone in a diverse team needs to feel included.

However, on the solution part, if you say dev-hours, I as a designer would have a huge problem :-), or even as a PM I would have same problem. 'Employee' comes close, but then it precludes estimating for consultants, freelancers etc. 'Person Hours' does not seem to have any of above problems, but then as mentioned it is awkward to use.

Well, maybe perfect solution does not exist, or maybe the perfect solution is being more accepting - accepting gender diversity AND also accepting that many times things that we do is out of laziness or choosing easier path or just out of habit - people in professional work environment do not do things with ill intention.

There is no ill intention behind using certain phrase and doing so does not spread any harmful stuff around.
It's hard to take an action. Google cares about recall right now to avoid liability. In theory it could be easily solved by lowering the threshold which will certainly improve precision. But you know what that will also do? It will lower recall which will just open Google up to litigation or regulation. See what regulation did to YouTube. It's the same reason YouTube has such a weird copyright strike process. Google is not secretly conspiring against YouTube creators like the creators would like you to believe.
Sandboxing the Dweb
This is super cool. I really enjoyed the demos, and the explanation of what distortion actually does to the waveform was very clear.
I think some of the frustration towards DICOM is misattributed. Yes, there are many instances of the standard being implemented poorly, and yes it is not always the most convenient having to index into your metadata using hex digits. But at least there IS a well documented, universally adopted standard that captures the most important information relevant to medical images right there next to the pixels. If this weren't the case, I think it would be much harder to have reliable interoperability between the highly complex + diverse types of systems that need to talk to each other in order to conduct an imaging workflow. There is a reason it exists and is so widely adopted -- and if you dig in to the details, a lot of thought has been put into its design. I highly recommend the book https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Imaging-Communications-Medici..., which believe it or not is a very entertaining read on the subject.
With all the lockdown / home-schooling, my (probably misplaced) hope would be that teaching, as a career, is given more respect and the earning capacity that goes with the recognition of how important teaching is to the general functioning of society.

Teachers raise our kids for fucks sake. Knuckleheads, and there are plenty, will bring them down, and that affects the whole of society for a long time. Attracting better quality teachers raises all boats.

But then Nursing, that also needs more respect for the shit, often literally, they face day in day out.

Police, fuck, if you can't trust them to do the right thing, then what's the fucking point in the first place?. Get the right people, and the people right.

Paying peanuts gets monkeys, and monkeys throw shit everywhere. I'm overpaid for what I do and it's effect on society. I'm hoping that the pandemic will cause at least somewhat of an adjustment, but my world-wise cynicism leans towards further adjustment in the wrong direction.

> You are dead in the water if you don't have that amount of money in advance as a buffer

In Germany, yes.

The people that usually have the high-enough risk tolerance to build a startup are usually broke college graduates. For a group of 3 broke college graduates each with 10k Euros in debt from BaFoG, coming up with 25k Euros just to try an idea that in the vast majority of cases will not succeed is pretty much impossible.

I finished my masters in germany debt free with 22 years old. The first time I got 25k in the bank was when I was almost 30, that's after working 7 years full time as an employee.

My risk tolerance at 30 is completely different from the one I had at 22. At 22 I could have "lost" 1 or 2 years building a startup that fails, living with 500 Euros a month or less in a shared apartment with my university buddies, waiting tables to pay the bills in between, no problem.

But now that I have 25k ? There is no way in the world I would quit my job to start a company. I have a family that depends on me, and other things I can invest those 25k in (car, house, pension fund, ...).

If you want fresh and broke college students with nothing to do to attempt a moonshot, those moonshots need to be almost free. Only 1 out of every 10.00 or 100.000 moonshots will land your country a profitable company, so you need to have a lot of them.

Requiring people to come up with 25k euros upfront is nuts. If you already had a couple of moonshots succeed, and each moonshot created a generation of 300 millionaires like it happens in the valley, then chances are that some of these risk-friendly and nostalgic millionaires will sponsor some of these startups is high. But Germany would need to somehow create that ecosystem first.

Let's not discount pharmacological options. HIV doesn't have a vaccine, yet it can be fought with a proper (admittedly very complex) drug regime.

The same can be probably done for SARS-CoV-2, although we'll have to wait for specific drugs to reach better efficiency.

And I add, we don't need to make this virus disappear (it would be better, but even with a very efficient vaccine it is unlikely). If we can prevent hospitalizations (and possibly deaths), we can likely live with it like we did with many other pathogens.
But this is something you do constantly as an English speaker. "Drinking" can mean any liquid, or just alcohol. Wood can be a material, or a forest. A bank can be a financial institution or the side of a river. A mouse can be a rodent or a computer peripheral. Does it really take conscious difficulty to figure out the intended meaning?

I see that this is your first submission. I love that it is refreshingly original.

Now, there are two main steps to making a website public.

* Developing the website (idea, design, development)

* Hosting it (domain, email, host, server)

What you posted is great for emphasizing that the first step can be done in a very simple way, without any complicated frameworks.

The way you did the second part - hosting your site (Using Node.js/npm, Firebase, and npm package) - does not fit well with the simplicity you demonstrated while doing part one.

However, if considered as a how-to for building a tiny website using Firebase, it is awesome.

Preface: I'm confident on the shell & with my keyboard: I've been using shell redirects for a couple decades, learned touch-typing up to around 80WPM, and used to note-take math lectures live in latex. Yes, I have noclobber enabled. But...

I can't promise myself I'm on a machine configured that way OR that I won't typo this one on a file that really matters.

I kinda use of `cat` as a `immutability-please` command: it _creates_ a barrier/seam between this file and whatever I'm doing with it, such that I'm _guaranteed_ nothing downstream will mutate it (as long as everything only works on stdio).

In a kinda similar way: by starting with `cat x |` (or even just `cat x`, frequently!), the rest of that compound command is _input source independent_ (and even _ignorant_!) -- if I want to hook it up later to a `curl example.com/xyz.json`, I don't need to split it into separate commands/introduce temp files/etc. This is especially because I find myself doing a _really_ quick scan of the entire file ("did it return the actual object this time or just `{}`?"), then piling on transforms from there.

Something about doing `cat x | head` and then kill-wording to fill in `next-thing` feels faster and more consistent than `head x` and then `next-thing x`, maybe because the filenames are often much longer than the commands? Maybe I need a "go to start of line, forward-kill one word" hotkey?

tl;dr: i'm playing psychological games with myself and TBH not sure I'm coming out ahead.
Yes, but it's up to present you to not let the past you down.
The primary risk factors of economic recessions take years. Most cancers take years to kill people. The effect of unemployment on suicide peaks at around 2.5 years of unemployment [0]. I think that we're going to have an economic downturn with repercussions that will last long after a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine exists. I also think the ends currently justify the means, but that's just a gut feeling I've got.

Hey HN!

Excited to share Unnamed SFU, it's creator just sent out an email asking people to try it out. It is designed for one to many communication (conferencing/webinars)! It does one thing and does it REALLY well. The minimalism helps concentration/lowers barrier of entry a lot. Now that WebRTC is getting easier to build things with, I hope to see a lot more special purpose software like this. It is nice having heavyweight video solutions, but attacking the problem from different angles I think is going to bring a lot of innovation as well :)

Dear colleagues,

A friend of mine just did a three-hour first-year lecture over my unnamed
SFU with 12 students. The students didn't switch on their camera (except
during the break), the lecturer was streaming three flows: audio, video,
and lecture slides.

The total amount of network traffic oscillated between 4Mbps and 10Mbps
(380kps to 800kbps for each receiver), which indicates that the congestion
control algorithm is working as designed. The CPU load oscillated between
10% and 20% (of a $5/month VPS), which is more than in previous tests,
I suspect that the CPU accounting of the VPS I'm renting is not accurate.

Neither the lecturer nor the students (first years, non-STEM) had any
problems with the software. One student reported problems with the video,
which went away after a while. The students initially complained about the
primitive UI (« au début, ça fait un peu peur »), then got used to it
(« mais après, ça va »).

I think the software is ready for a test at larger scale, say, a seminar
with a hundred listeners or so. If anyone is organising a seminar and is
willing to take the risk, please let me know. (You are welcome to forward
this mail.) https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/sfu/

Best,

It uses a library I work on Pion WebRTC (https://github.com/pion/webrtc) the Go implementation of WebRTC. If you aren't familiar with WebRTC, now is a great time to learn it! It was designed for conferencing, but everyone realized it can do a lot of amazing things! It is used for things like WebTorrent, Tor, Mixer.com etc...

A good jumping off point to see what can be built is github.com/pion/awesome-pion or a talk I gave recently that is targeted at people who have never done anything with WebRTC before! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdgoOrJH8ok&feature=youtu.be...
Can they? You cannot reasonably run any mainstream compilers, editors etc. on Android phones. Nor can you develop Android apps on them, (without something like Termux), nor do a gazillion other things you can do on your PC. They're at best crippled pocket computers, whereas something like the PinePhone runs mainline Linux and can run KDE Plasma/GNOME etc.

Does Android have more simple podcast apps and the like? Sure. But Android's well over a decade old, while mainline Linux on phones is just getting started.

I remember the teacher pointing out the cheap sexual innuendos in there (IIRC 'on the prick of noon' was one).

In any other contexts she'd have dismissed it, but this was shakespeare! So saddo nob jokes ok.

That makes sense. The earlier employee definitely made off like bandits.
It's not the competion that matters, not even playing against or defeating the #1 tennis player. Think of it as a tennis point being played. If both you and #1 play the point perfectly, a beautiful play that will remain in tennis history and create a sense of wonder in many people that watch that point, it does not even matter if you win or lose the point, what truly matters is being part of something great, greater than yourself, greater than the current #1 in the tennis.
But to be able to do that, it requires a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a mindset of playing for the game's sake, playing to feel good and have fun and make other people feel good watching, not trying to win a competition. Also, it doesn't mean that the point could not be played in a different way which is also perfect and beautiful in its own, so other people could potentially play that point and that doesn't mean they're lesser players that you, and it doesn't mean that somebody who can win all points and matches is also playing the most beautiful tennis ever.

No, the states are trying to open back up because they are not getting any help from the White House. Trump has been actively encouraging the protests and McConnell has shot down any financial support for the states. Unlike the federal government, the states can't print money, so what is the point of racking up huge deficits while the white house actively undermines your quarantine efforts? After all, Trump is going to be at the top of the ticket in November, so if you are a governor, why would you continue to enforce the politically difficult but necessary quarantine policies if Trump is going to be the one to get the credit if it succeeds. Might as well save the state finances and risk opening back up early. And if/when a second wave happens, Trumps political fortunes will likely be toast.

What are you talking about? That has never happened.

They posted this blog post [1] on July 22, 2019 and you probably misunderstood their point.

They did not rewrite the application to build on native libraries, they simply redesigned the architecture of their UI logic to draw web components only when strictly necessary, sharing states between workspaces and stuff like that, but it is —as of today May 19, 2020— still 100% a web application running on top of Electron. They recently announced another visual rewrite [2] on March 18, 2020 which also resulted in the same web application running on top of Electron, no changes in that part whatsoever.
