Bonds are not just an accounting mechanism; bonds are an alternative to stocks for investment. Even government bonds create value---if not funding something tangible (such as infrastructure), just the existence of a stable and functioning legal system is hugely valuable.

Cash is more than an accounting system too, especially since the end of the gold standard. There isn't a fixed supply of dollars that businesses just move around.

Also, with regards to both cash and precious metals: their value is as media for economic transactions; their value increases each time they change hands. Would you want to barter to buy shares of a company? Trade sheep to invest in Microsoft?

Important to note that in UK parlance, "asian" usually encompasses middle-eastern and (I think) Indian ethnicities, whereas in the US is doesn't.

This distinction might be important if there is some sort of vitamin-D/skin-melanin correlation to outcomes in northern latitudes.

Ask HN: How are you mitigating the risks of node modules?
It is widely known that node modules are a big security risk because of its deeply nested tree and developers tend to not install new packages just for this.

From a recent HN comment [0]:

> Does anyone know if there has been reliable research towards the security of the entire RN dependency tree? Seeing a stray dep there that has 1 maintainer on npm/GitHub who has been inactive for over a year makes me nervous. Any one of those JavaScript projects could do something nefarious deep under the hood, and this to me seems to expose a huge surface area for attackers.

How are you personally mitigating against the risks or what are the policies/processes at your company?

Yes I know. The difference is that with the natives, the language disappeared because the people got exterminated rather than through forced standardization/adoption of national languages.

I spent 7 years (ending late 2018) as the web developer at an agency that did branding & design for local restaurants. Unfortunately I don't have access to any of the analytics accounts anymore to give actual numbers -- but I can say that yes, people do go to the websites.

If you're just looking for hours and address you can get that via search (especially on mobile), but a properly-developed website will also provide sub-navigation in Google results for menus, contact info, events, etc.

Menus were also a big part of it. Dropping a PDF (or worse, a JPEG) of a menu onto a website sucks for usability. The sites used responsive design to lay out the menus in a way that was actually readable, and my CMS made it easy for the chef/manager to update on a regular basis. The menu pages were highly popular among first-time site visitors.

For restaurants that host private parties (larger or more complicated than what OpenTable & company will handle), the website was the primary way that people contacted them to start the reservation process. Many more people did that than message on Facebook.

Gift cards around the holiday seasons (mother's/father's day, graduation, December holidays) are also particularly popular.
Maybe people will "take out a loan" to use the new feature tracking product?
> The distinction is important though, because it affects the observable behaviour of other effects present in these functions.

Only if the language is single-threaded to begin with, like JavaScript.[1] There is no real difference in C# and Kotlin between, say, sleep and delay. It's a syntactic distinction between semantically equivalent terms (for all practical purposes).

[1]: Even then there are better ways to reason about effects.
The people being conquered in Europe were also a lot less vulnerable in several key ways— my understanding is that they were largely overwhelmed by superior military tactics and infrastructure (roads and so on), but once conquered they were at a similar level in overall technology and well positioned to participate in the larger Roman economy.

North American native peoples faced new infectious diseases that they weren't at all prepared for, a huge technological disparity (guns), and a lot of predatory economics (trading away valuable furs for beads and trinkets).

The code on the right feels in mildly bad faith to me.

- consts are dropped
- variable definitions are merged onto multiple lines
- usefully named constants like `nPixels`, `nBytes` are elided
- the `idx` lambda is inlined

The net effect, for an initial skim, is that the code on the right looks terser and simpler. But in reality many of the "short cuts" hurt the long term quality of the code.
Many HN readers believe that there is nothing on Twitter except politics and pictures of food, this is a counter example.
The post text is light grey to discourage use of text-only posts, rather than links. HN is primarily a discussion forum centred around links to external content, and I think the site owners/maintainers want to keep it that way.
Even though the answer to your question is "no", many lawyers will advise you to add the copyright symbol anyway. Even if the symbol is not operative by law, it still operates on the minds of potential copyists who don't know whether it matters. In this regard, the copyright symbol is kinda like the "protected by ADT" sign in a front yard: It's not protection per se, but it might serve as a deterrent.

On the other hand, the likelihood that a mere copyright symbol will deter economically-consequential copying from a website/webapp is quite low. Therefore, as a former founder and current law student (and definitely not a lawyer yet), I'd advise you to do whatever the hell makes sense for your business for ancillary reasons. Add the symbol if you think you're dealing with superstitious folks to whom a copyright symbol lends an aura of credibility; omit it if you are going for a clean aesthetic.

I'm reading about path semantics via the links in the github but it seems to me you need to already have a bit of a background in a certain, shall we say, remote, area of either mathematics of computer science, or the mathematics of computer science in order to follow quickly without spending time going down wikipedia rabbit holes.

Anyway, sounds like an interesting thing to spend some free time on. Thanks.

1. There is no need for await. Threads imply sequential execution.

2. sleep vs. delay in either C# or Kotlin.
How can you keep up with the news when HN only records the headlines and the articles are stored elsewhere, usually on extremely heavyweight news sites?
I do, if it's available. BUt I'm relying on Yelp more and more to get the latest menus. I was turned off by the fees and commissions that GH,UE, and DD charge. Most of the restaurants I use are decades old, family-owned businesses and already do full service, including delivery.
Also IIRC stripping a copyright notice from plagiarised work is a more severe offense than just the plagiarisation alone.
Top guns it's almost scient-a-logical
Project Loom provides the same benefit of async/await, but without changing the syntax in any way. In C# you now have a split API: blocking api's which rely on threads for concurrency, and async api's which require you to use async/await syntax. These api's are not compatible, so to take advantage of async/await, you have to refactor your code.

When project loom is implemented in Java, all code which makes use of threads today automatically gains all the benefits of the async/await model, without any refactoring.

Go and Erlang doesn't do the async/await thing. They only have one notion of concurrency (goroutines in Go, processes in Erlang). They don't require you to use async and await constructs, but they work similarly to async/await under the hood.

Yeah, the WHO is't completely right, I bever said they were, but it doesn't have to be either/or.

You can do "test test test" as the WHO said, at the same time as enforcing face masks, which they have not. The UK government has done neither of those things yet.

I don't think this is about following the rules, the WHO provide advice and perhaps guidelines here. I think this is perhaps a fear of doing the wrong thing, combined with a desire to seem like they're in control. If you hold back 14 day quarantine "until the time is right", then get up in front of people and say "the right time is tea time next Thursday" it makes you seem like you know what you are doing.

It's the standard release cycle of PHP: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
It is a carefully curated directory, which is problematic.

For example, I submitted Pizza Hut's archived original web page [1], but it wasn't added.

Even for a search engine exposing niches, updating a directory manually will likely be too slow, unless the directory is maintaining a single nich (e.g., unladen airspeed of every species of swallow), but then we end up with some insane number of search engines and how to select which one?

We seem to disagree on what the original statement is.

When I talk to my peers, the original statement is some version of: "big tech is the most harmful monopoly in the USA today". Saying "what about monopolistic industry x?" is directly engaging with that statement.

It's possible that I'm conflating people's decisions to prioritize talking about tech companies with their actual priorities for which industries require government intervention.

I didn’t neglect anything you can match PHE England data for those dates yourself, I’ve also included the deaths that were reported in early May but were recorded in March for PHE.

Your assumption is that young people die in care homes is not substantiated by any data we have.

It doesn’t mean that young people don’t die they do even if it’s in extremely rare cases they simply die in hospitals since the current triage grants them priority and that they are less likely to turn to the worse before they can be hospitalized or rehospitalized.

Also unlike (much) older patients they are also not released back to the care homes once they are admitted because they can still be effectively saved.

Overall nothing in the data we have suggests that the death rate will increase for the younger population if anything it will likely decrease slightly as the ONS data skews even higher for the older populations than the PHE data.

So sorry but this is yet again you making assumptions that go directly against the data we have.

No. You can provide object files without source code and it does not become covered work. This is for example how using LGPL in Qt works.
I don't think the average person understands copyright law at all. You can peruse YouTube and look at all these videos that are re-uploaded versions of other people's videos and they all say "no copyright intended". That is not how any of this works. People learn about plagiarism and "academic honesty" in school, and think that as long as they don't claim the work as their own they are entitled to make money off of it. Turns out: not true.

My ultimate thought is that nobody is going to respect copyright, so I tend to upload everything under some sort of permissive license so that their "no copyright intended" thought process ends up being in compliance with the license. Sharing is human nature. A c surrounded in a circle isn't going to change it.
Please have a look. I shut my windows and turned off the light for this exercise. Just added a tick more warmth.

I think what Deadmau5 exemplifies is intuitive understanding to a degree where I think it wouldn't be very hard for him to learn how to design circuitry if he wanted to. You don't really need to be an electrical engineer in order to successfully build low frequency electronics. It is one of those fields where you can get a surprising amount of useful work done by roughly knowing what you are doing and accumulating experience.

Yep! There are entire chapters on sorting & filtering. Note: it's different than in a relational database, but it's doable :)
I remember reading this in 2019 even before I ever noticed(2019) is a part of the title. The tech antagonized me by a lot, to my belief, the attempt went way way beyond necessary evil and also scented of scam. This is disgusting, it's narrated by a curious young male voice, explaining how the device is working on himself, his classmates, and how the teachers and others will know then their attention is drifting away from the class. This shouldn't happen, I can't even imagine how they got their IRB approval in the first place. Collecting and using EEG data from a consented subject for a scientific investigation is one thing, but using a poorly designed toy to regulate human behavior is another. The former one has an explicit scope that helps the human race to understand itself, but the later one is an onset of nefarious control freaks en masse that targeting not only your body, but also your mind.

Btw as a previous research assistant who spent 5+ years in brain imaging, the tech behind this also looks weird to me, you can't get meaningful EEG data in a room with so much interference. I don't see any follow-ups on this either. It usually takes 2 painful hours, give or take, to properly prepare ONE subject for an EEG experiment, and 15 minutes at least after that for them to wash off the glues on their head.
Oh hey, there was actually a silver lining to my employer using an ancient version of JIRA after all!
I can't claim to be an expert in economics or finance, and I don't know if inflation per se is a threat at the moment, but I will say the current state of the economy doesn't make sense to me.

If it really is the case that 30+ million Americans can be out of a job and the stock market reaction is to continue climbing on the assumption that the fed will continue to grow the balance sheet, doesn't that point to a fundamental decoupling between the value of the currency and real-world value? I mean are we really going to live in a society where the government pays companies so that their stock price can remain stable, even when demand for their products no longer exists because their customers are all out of work? It seems like a paper economy which essentially only serves to bail out investors.

I'm not sure what the catalyst would be for that kind of a system to come crashing down, but I just don't understand how it could be sustainable.
As mentioned, the Berne Convention means anything that can be copyrighted (creative works: stories, articles, art, etc. - but not data or ideas) are automatically copyrighted.

But in US law, if something infringes your copyright, you can get more damages if the court rules it was "willful" infringement. I'm not totally sure it's settled that a copyright notice makes a difference, but I'm guessing big companies think it can't hurt. (Also keep in mind whether you're as willing as big companies to go to court, or if the most you practically want to do is have a lawyer send someone a polite but firm letter.)

Another thing you can do if you want things to go better in court (and isn't really worthwhile otherwise) is to register your work with the Copyright Office.

Almost every brick and mortar company’s website includes a phone number.

Call 5 of them and order a meal, when you pick it up ask to talk to the manager for a minute.

Elevator pitch: you’ve got 5-10 seconds to get them to ask for more time.

“When I was ordering food I noticed that I couldn’t prepay online, I almost thought of going somewhere else, how come you don’t have a way to pay before coming in?”

“Don’t know how to do that”

“I built a plugin that takes 5-10 mins to set up and people can pay while they order so I don’t have to come inside, can we do a Skype call when you’re not busy to walk through this?”

Once you’ve gotten a handful of trials like this you can start calling but your options with restaurants(especially mom and pop) are to walk in the door or get to them directly on the phone.

BTW, no one earns money with the kitspace website above. This is community-run and intended to make open hardware projects easier to build by simplifying the ordering procedures. The parts and board suppliers linked on kitspace should cover most of the world.
