Yes, there was a spike of 56 new deaths reported on the 15th.

Due to reopening? More likely due to noisy data. There was a similar spike of 50 new deaths reported on April 30th, before Texas reopened.

And after the 15th, the numbers reverted to the mean: 33 on the 16th, 31 on the 17th.

Yes, software this essential also always comes with certain (non-technical) processes attached to it. This is usually my argument to corporate for opening up software that is extremely well tailored to our needs. A competitor would have to revamp entire divisions to make proper use out of it.

Funny enough though that not changing your process to fit software but trying it the other way around is the reason most SAP integration projects fail.

We in South Africa also went through our phase of stupid a while back with the ruling party and it's corrupt leadership cadre at the time.

Sinclair owns a big chunk of US media outlets, so it's not surprising that a particular outlet's website would have Sinclair cookies on it. While the upper level Sinclair management has a well-deserved bad reputation the individuals working at the local level can still do good reporting if they're allowed to.

When an American TV station is 'ABC 7' or 'CBS 12' that typically means they're a local TV station with a deal to rebroadcast official ABC, CBS, etc programming mixed in with some bits of local/original footage. So when you watched an ABC station here, you got mostly national ABC footage combined with a mix of local content (like news programs) and local ads.
I pay around 5$ for unlimited 4G, calls & texts within the country and a few hundred (can't recall how many) international minutes. I also only pay around 15$ for 1 Gigabit internet, cable TV and a house phone. I have to agree - the difference in prices around the world seems crazy when related to this aspect.
Just an addition to point 1: There's also Xournal++ [0]; some parts are based on Xournal but it provides some additional functionality [1].

> The misalignment between Europe and the USA has grown the recent years

I wouldn't count the last 20+ years as "recent", but ok.

> The solution is trivially easy and has existed for long: open standards.

What we usually get is a hybrid "compromise". Things of absolutely no consequence are using open standards, e.g. Messenger will send JSON back and forth and things that matter a lot, e.g. social engineering algorithms for "ads" are black boxes.

It is my personal opinion these heavily asymmetric compromises are a consequence of severe technical inadequacy from most power bearing persons in the EU parliament. Another plausible explanation might be mind boggling corruption.

> The alternative is heavy regulated monopolies, no government is going to allow this situation to go for long

What we get so far are monopolies that are heavily regulated in inconsequential aspects to "please the crowd". Also, it has been a tendency of humans to underestimate how long a bad situation could last. Governments are very much a reflection of it's people(believe it or not) and they mostly "don't want trouble" - it is my belief it's exactly this attitude that has lead us so far astray.

I appreciate you writing all that for me. I'm now uncertain where I fall with my position. I don't really think I'm aware because everything is predetermined and even if randomness is thrown into the equation it doesn't matter. I know you think I'm mixing free will with consciousness but I just think a person cannot be aware if they're always going to process a certain way because of the starting point of the universe. It just seems like I'm a sim in a video game. Where everything is completely programmed out for whatever to happen and I cannot say that either a character in a video game or I, would be resembling what consciousness means for me. In any case I'm undecided now.

I think that's extremely unfair and misleading. Jay Inslee and Washington state is being extremely clear on showing information on their covid-19 dashboards. They are excellent. He's said that the threshold change is a complicated choice and it's not a simple are we decreasing at a certain rate. That's not an honest appraisal of the situation.

It was just time for me to jump. I didn't really like it there anyway, and when I saw some team changes coming, I figured I could pick a couple fights, get fired, then go public and make the whole thing about how everyone was shitting on my awesome transparency. With a bit of luck, that was guaranteed to get a lot of likes and probably go viral, and I could then get into a role where I didn't have to take so much shit. People, at least, would be afraid of me. And no one would dare challenge me because I could make it look like I was the victim. Nobody would fuck with the girl who could make them look like a bunch of corrupt ass-covering asshats. So I pulled the trigger. I'm not proud of it, but a girl's gotta survive, you know. They deserved it anyway. They never appreciated how fucking awesome I was. Serves em right, don't you think? Anyway, I'm just chillin at home, going through my messages, waiting for the "we're interested in pursuing a hiring conversation" with you to come. I'll get a couple offers, play em off against each other, and go with who seems least likely to cause me trouble. Or with who I can see there's a future dramatic exit that will work for me. Man, I am so fucking brilliant.

I have been on them for several years, had to go up in dose in the first 6 months but after that they have worked ever since. I take an obscure and old ADHD medicine called Desoxen and my dosage is 15 MG twice a day, it has been the same dose for over 4 years, Desoxen had less side effects for me than some of the other meds like Adderall.

Also if you do have ADHD, that is exactly what it is like, turning normal on. It's like a switch and ADHD meds are one of the few mental health meds that have an extremely high success rate. That's the thing, you know with the first dose. If you have it, you take the meds and you are basically like wow, this is what normal feels like. If you don't have it, then I guess you get a little high and speed out, or so I have been told, it does not have that effect on me.

I resisted the diagnoses and taking meds for years before I decided to give it a try. I really regret that I did not listen to the doctors sooner. I wasted a lot of years locked in the ADHD trap and denial.
Yeah, the results are a lot better than filtering... deep learning has pushed the state of the art in source separation on quite a lot recently.

It isn’t magical and the results still have artefacts (mostly that kind of slightly underwater sound of a low bitrate MP3, I believe due to the way the audio is reconstructed from FFTs), and some songs trip it up entirely, but it’s definitely worth playing around with and I think it could potentially have applications for DJ/remix use if you added enough effects etc.

The useful thing I've found from this is that "AEG" in Australia is the same as "RIDGID" (orange) in the US and the batteries are compatible.

So I've been able to buy tools that are not available as AEG tools in Australia (ie they're not offered in the product range here). I purchased them skin only to avoid any charger incompatibilities (and use the AEG batteries and charges with the RIDGID tools).

It might work in reverse that buying AEG from Australia is now a cheaper way to get RIDGID tools because the Australian dollar is quite weak compared to the US dollar.

I am actually subscribed to -tech, and an OpenBSD user for around 15 years.

Usually when mailing list messages or PR comments are posted to HN, they are about something very negative, either the attitude of the author (random examples - mails by Linus, mails by Poettering, and sometimes also mails by Theo) or the content of the request it replies to. And in the openbsd community does has some negative reputation about harsh communications.

Just wanted emphasize it, since seeing good examples is much more educating IMHO than seeing only negative ones.
You can also learn the new technologies on the job. It requires some active career manenourving and perhaps can't always be done, but I have spent very little amount of time learning outside of work hours in the past 7 years, and am making top rates (and working with latest in-vogue tech).

I've had a similar experience about two months ago. Our app is a simple health and fitness tracker. When corona broke out, we made some adjustments so that people could track their symptoms and export them as Excel file in order to share it with their physician or health authorities.
We also adjusted our description accordingly and got banned immediately. We appealed to the ban, removed everything related to corona from the description (I guess the word „quarantine” is the offending word in your case) and got reinstated after a few days.
Nowadays it's used by thousands of people participating in a COVID-19 longitudonal study and we haven't had any problems again.
Takeaway: Unless you're the WHO, don't mention anything related to COVID-19 in your description. Ask your Chinese friends how to deal with censorship, in Finland they simply make „Kotona” („at home”) instead of „Corona” Videos on YouTube.

The “I had a bad experience therefore we must burn the whole system down” line of reasoning is a sign of immaturity. Police serve a vital role in many communities in the US. For every bad story that catches headlines there are hundreds more good acts that go unnoticed.

It's worse than that, even. :(

You are correct, except you skipped over the critical "entering a domicile without a Constutional reason" part. There is no way for the occupant to know it's lawful or even the police.

If it's done because of a immediate threat to life situation, then the people involved are rightfully risking their lives, to save another, and they know that.

If it's done to prevent the flushing of evidence down a toilent, then that's a bad trade for everyone, and the Senator from Kentuckey is right.

If he hadn't pushed to shut down the state in early March, when Washington state was the worst outbreak by far in the nation we'd have been like other states that it has run away in. Instead we were saved. Washington could have had deaths like Michigan. Remember we were worse than everywhere else here. I thought Inslee took too long to shut down the state.

How many excess deaths are okay? 1000? 10,000? It's a false dichotomy to trade off a complete shutdown vs giving up on covid-19. The right strategy is get ppe and testing, then we can more carefully open things up. Make rules that people have to wear masks when they are close to others. Then you can more safely open things up. It's not one or the other.

I think the stats are bad everywhere, there are many interests here to inflate or deflate numbers based on politics, money and different ideas about the best solution to the situation. Numbers coming from all over the world are all over the place with no standards of measurements and without any clear patterns. So either this virus is so chaotic or the numbers are wrong but either way they are meaningless.
