Math envy. It affects more than economics and often only obscures the intended meaning (if there’s any there in the first place) while giving the illusion of rigor because symbols...and “math”!
Thalassocracy
I'm glad to see information on the blood aspects of the condition getting some press. That's another way that blood oxygen levels can be suppressed and blood issues suppressing oxygen levels would help explain the terrible figures associated with ventilator treatments, where people are dying at shockingly high rates and ventilators aren't doing what they normally do for patients put on them for other conditions.
Blog never went away. There are plenty of it, and very good one.

Just like there is still good music today.

The problem is discovering it.

Before internet became a medium for mass sharing pictures of inspiration quotes and kitten, blogs had a change to stand out.

Now, theyr are completly dwarfed by other usages, and most users don't find it a popular format anyway. Search engine rarely put them in top of search results either, because they rarely quickly answer and direct question or provide the popular untertainment du jour.

So if you want to help bring blog back, you gotta find a way to make them more visible, and get people interested in them.

Good luck with that. Videos store instantly became more popular than libraries IRL, and I don't see a reason why suddenly blogs would win against Youtube. Same with equivalent to Facebook, Twitter, etc.
What was the problem?

We ran a large fleet on Hyper-V / Azure.
It’s not even better. Washing with soap and water is effective but rubbing alcohol (Both 70% and 99%) takes seconds to kill coronavirus. It is almost instantaneous in terms of effectiveness. Soap and water take a few mins to reach the same level of effect as rubbing alcohol.

There was a recent study by Stanford that measured the effectiveness of various cleaning methods.
No, that's ridiculous. Saying you don't like assigning moral judgements to companies is essentially saying you think they should be looked at as neutral.

If someone says they don't like cauliflower, that isn't a moral judgment. You are not understanding what is being said or what it implies.
Okay which planet internet is this author living on? I regularly follow two cybersecurity blogs, two science fiction blogs and a photography blog? Searching for an hour and not finding any blogs? Credibility evaporated with that sentence.
They haven't gone anywhere. And the small ones are just as hard to find as before.

Furthermore, most people choose to "blog" on the major platforms, probably because it's easier and they don't care about ownership of content or monetisation or anything.

Sad imo, but it's just a reflection of how the majority thinks.
Everyone already gets exposed to common colds, hence common.
NZ and Iceland may be unique, but I am extremely skeptical about tracking apps being useful at all elsewhere, in comparison to large teams of trained contact tracers.
Ask HN: Is there a collaborative alternative to Docusaurus?
I've been put in charge of developing a course for next semester and I've been looking into using Docusaurus for writing the content and publishing it.

One thing that I see happening is having a lot of questions from students come up about the content. It would be great if I could have the students sign up on my site and be able to add comments to the content just like collaborating in google docs.

The alternative now is to use a system like D2L which we have and have their questions and comments in a separate part of the site under "Discussions" in a sort of forum.

Are there any tools which you guys know of that could help?
I don't really know where else to ask.
The secular decline in interest rates as well as the increased ease of diversification can both easily account[1] for a modest long term increase in PE ratios. There is little reason to believe a decoupling from the fundamentals is a better explanation that these forces.

I think there are a couple factors here. This is an incredibly difficult problem space. The solutions going forward involve ML techniques, which require ML experts (currently being hired away by industry) and the resources to create models, which includes not only a large amount of computational resources but a big chunk of training data which needs to be sourced somehow.

I’m not really an expert. From what I understand, the “cutting-edge” stuff requires pushing past the point where we are splicing segments of speech together. Splicing segments together is hard enough.

There are a couple open-source efforts like Mozilla’s, but if you want something like Lyrebird, well, that technology isn’t even really productized commercially yet.
We discussed the problem on #security and we moved to bugzilla once we kinda had a solution (it is hard to discuss solutions on bugzilla. :) Here is a link to the chat: https://matrix.to/#/!xSFwJMLGSLXLaSUrHr:mozilla.org/$o3a38gf...
Sad imo, but it's just a reflection of how the majority thinks.

It's a huge uphill battle if you do care about such things. Don't go blaming them. That sounds an awful lot like victim blaming.

You want to see more blogging, help people succeed instead of adding more baggage to their path.
Very curious to hear – how do people actually discover blogs?

A friend and I have a blog based upon our experiences scaling product/engineering at a startup (we've been fortunate enough to see several growth stages over ~8 years). But it's challenging to get in front of readers who might be interested, outside of places like HN or Reddit.

When I look at the blogs that I read regularly myself, it tends to be a small subset of names that I've collected over the years from Hacker News, Quora, and friends sharing articles. I'd like to find more but don't really know the best place to start. I'm sure that there's tons of content that I would really enjoy but discovery is difficult.
What's the origin for the fascination with blogging in the tech/software world?

I used to maintain one (mostly because I worked with other engineers who fetishized blogging and encouraged everybody to blog). I eventually lost interest.

Does it stem from Usenet?
I'm not talking legal, I'm talking moral. Perhaps Twitter does have the right to delete whatever they want for whatever reason. That doesn't make it right.

And perhaps they shouldn't have the right to delete whatever they want for whatever reason. Perhaps we should have legislation that governs the actions of social media platforms, that scales with the size of their userbase, to maintain cohesion and some respect for truth.

Enter all the concerns about "who decides truth and fairness" and all those hazards.

Again, I didn't say it was an easy discussion, or even that there are any answers. But there are increments between "just let Michelle Malkin and her ilk lie and stir people up with literal, provably false untruths and hatred to the detriment of American society" and "blackball everyone who doesn't toe the liberal zeitgeist".
Yep, that seems about right. I have had two forums since 2002, and while they still have a small user base, everybody switched to Facebook and the like. Not sure if I blame Google as much in the case of forums. I have enjoyed seeing notifications in the browser added, as the browser is starting to have similar powers to apps. Of course, Apple is having none of that, as they love apps and the app store sales.
Thank you for your comment. One of the reasons we founded Sonantic was to improve accessibility so we are right there with you! We plan to do this by reducing the barriers (both financial and logistical) of voiced content for everyone from indie developers to big AAA studios. We've already begun to see progress on this through partnership with initial customers during our beta.
I read the quote. Is significant some quantifiable term of art in this context?

Edit: Here's the current guidance (may not be the same as from the time of that article): https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidan...

I don't see any explicit guidance on Acetaldehyde. The requirements show 95% ethanol for ethanol-based sanitizer, with a footnote saying actually, "Lower ethanol content alcohol falls within this policy so long as it is labeled accordingly, and the finished hand sanitizer meets the ethanol concentration of 80%."

It goes on to add, "Ethanol produced in facilities normally producing fuel or technical grade may be
considered for use if the ethanol is produced from fermentation and distillation as would
be typically used for consumable goods, and no other additives or other chemicals have
been added to the ethanol. ... Because of the potential for the presence of potentially harmful
impurities due to the processing approach, fuel or technical grade ethanol should only be
used if it meets USP or FCC grade requirements and the ethanol has been screened for
any other potentially harmful impurities not specified in the USP or FCC requirements."

Edit2: Here's the USP guidance on hand sanitizer, which lists Not More Than 10uL/L Acetaldehyde / Ethanol:
https://www.usp.org/sites/default/files/usp/document/health-... Again, it's an ordinary metabolite of ethanol in the body, so this is probably pretty conservative.

Wikipedia notes, "After intravenous injection, the half-life in the blood is approximately 90 seconds." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaldehyde#Exposure_limits and "According to European Commission's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety's (SCCS) "Opinion on Acetaldehyde" (2012) the cosmetic products special risk limit is 5 mg/l."

From my (subjective) perspective, I also feel like something strange happened with Google search when it comes to blogs.

My tech/programming blog has 1.4K subscribers and used to reliably get between 100 to 200 views per day, then in the space of 2 days from 6 March to 7 March this year it suddenly dropped down to around 10 to 20 views per day. The drop was extremely sudden and hasn't recovered since. Nothing changed on my side; I just started publishing more blockchain articles (since I work in that industry) but the drop badly affected my non-blockchain articles too (especially the ones which used to get a lot of recurring visitors from Google).

I wasn't relying on my blog financially though (just a hobby) so it hasn't hurt me too bad.

Here is my blog: https://medium.com/@jonathangrosdubois

Many of my past articles were related to my open source project (I've been maintaining it for many years and it is not blockchain related): https://socketcluster.io/

I feel that Google has always been working against open source software when it comes to search; maybe because their algorithm figured out that Google can't monetize open source projects (OSS projects don't tend to promote on Adwords). They tend to drive organic traffic mostly to paid SaaS solutions instead.

Strangely enough though, my open source project is now getting starred at a higher rate than ever before, it has almost 6K stars on GitHub and seems to be consistently getting several per week now even though I do no marketing and my Google organic traffic is terrible - The faster rate of stars is also strange because Google Analytics shows me flat traffic (has been around the same number of daily users for the past couple of years).

right, so if you get pizza delivery, you're probably Hitler running Deep Horizon. What a nice way to argue your point.
Incidental contact is unlikely to matter in most cases. However, multiple people at different tables where infected at a restaurant from a single customer. So, it doesn’t take that much.
I wonder too but maybe they only do local deliveries

The Fed is actively watching now. Stimulus bills can and will be pushed through in a day or two. The Fed reaction to this was also much faster and more aggressive than 2008, there’s no way they let another 30% drop happen as quickly as in March. That’s not really a prediction other than assuming that they aren’t going to completely change their position and strategy and let it collapse.
it is my pci-express multiface II, that I will cherish until death - it has been rocking hard for the last 11 years so far :-) so I'm hopeful I can get a bit more out of it !
Google AutoDraw
Oh, and generally accepted as in one could cherry pick certain, short time periods and show that, say for three years in the early 80’s, the average return wasn’t seven percent. So, it’s generally accepted that “over some sufficiently long time period” one should reasonably expect to make seven percent when invested in a sufficiently diverse portfolio of stocks because that’s been the case historically
They seem to be maps between computations. Seems to me that should be a computation on other computations, but I'm sure it's simpler to have nice distinct levels. Honestly I'm confused why you're asking, since I understood that example based on your diagram below...
I agree with you. That’s what I like about HN. I often read comments here that would be detailed and interesting enough to be blog articles. Most of the time the comments are even better than the original content.

As for content discovery I find that Google is irrelevant. Most of the time I want to read on topics I don’t know much about. Hence I would not even know what to search for. I rely on the power of the community to bring to light the best pieces of content. If I was still using RSS I would need to be subscribed to specific websites and would not read anything outside that bubble.

On a final note I think blogging is alive and well. This community proves it as much of the top posts are from blogs.
Apologies; I didn't cleanly separate my intended question from my own navel gazing.

Blogs haven't gone anywhere, now they're just "posts" on major platforms.

That's what people chose, because it's easier. They gave up content rights and many, many possibilities for the ease of posting and the near instant views and feedback.
Touché! It is pretty bad, huh? Our new site is only a few days old (rolled out on Wednesday / around the same time as our demo) so we haven't got eveything optimised just yet. Stay tuned for better cookies in the future!!!

A diagnostic test is often run on a person who suspects they already have the virus. That creates a loaded sample pool, and adds bias to the results.

> worse outcomes for society

as determined by who?
There is spin in this analysis.

Apple and Google have a huge amount of power when it comes to what capabilities they allow apps to use on their device. So when the article mentions “sovereign power” and “unbending stance”, it is referring to that. It is impossible for a user to run an app that collects tracing and location data in the background given the restrictions the OS puts in place. This definitely is better from a privacy standpoint, but it is these companies making the call that it’s better for society.

Google and Apple are the ones that decide what data is collected and who it is shared with. It is pretty remarkable how much faith we must have in them.
Why seven percent is considered a good rate of return, I don’t know. The answer is partially in the question itself, because that’s been the rate of return of the stock market. That though isn’t exactly satisfactory
> winterismute questioned qualifications to have a position on writing C++ for game dev. That is gatekeeping and No True Scotsman

Well, not really. Some of the people on twitter (and the author himself) basically pointed out that "one of the main reason we do not use that coding style is that, despite the advantages, when you need to work on a codebase that requires both performant simulation of the planet and rapid experimentation of mechanics at the same time by hundreds of de-localized devs, you end up seeing many of its limitations". If you want to handle this argument, you need to have a clear idea of what are the priorities in such a scenario, which I doubt the author has.
Even more interestingly, the article does not raise the point "this is how I write modern C++, I think it will benefit all the industries" but specifically seems to want to argue that this style helps gamedev particularly despite showing basically no domain-specific observations, nor anything that convinces me he knows what are the critical problems in the "triple A game" scenario... I don't think I can call this gatekeeping if I am not convinced - even by reading only the article - that the author has a good grasp of the fundamental problems involved in the development of big games, or not?
I wonder when Etsy will stop firing employees without severance packages and blackballing them in technology for months to years because they ask too many questions.
That’d be great for many VMs. I think it’d be interesting to see how the Erlang BEAM would perform in such a scenario. Especially for embedded devices! Yes, sometimes a few dozen micros faster is all that’s needed for many applications to become practical.

> Using copyleft code means the whole resulting binary is subject to copyleft.

No. That's formally wrong, and it doesn't imply what you think it implies.

Using copyleft code means that if you distribute the resulting binary, you also have to distribute the corresponding source code. If you can't do that, you can't distribute the binary.

Is that a problem? No. You distribute object files and libraries, accompany the copylefted libraries with their source code, and let the end user link them together statically. Problem solved. Arguably, that's how all software installation on Unix should work; it solves so many other problems, too.
Arguably truncating the text is against the specification as it only specifies that the user agent may prevent the user from going beyond the max-length, not that it may do arbitrary stuff to make the text fit.

I also hope it will make at least some developers realise that client-side validation is a bad idea.
Thanks for your comments and nice to hear you're also working on TTS! We have a few more samples (without background music) further down on our homepage and plan to add a full dedicated subpage in time!
I think ideological is a better word than racist here.

A racial purist would adopt one of two positions - invade and extract value - or don't waste our money on those people. It's true from the left side they see rightists but this is an optical illusion. It's as how I used to believe a democrats were secret Maoists.
If your password is too long to fit in a hash scheme, then it's probably secure to just truncate and match. Unless the user has little entropy in the first part of their password, which i can't see happening.
In a post-patent world, success is driven by the ability to blow large sums of money buying market share. We were lucky to have an era where there was enough venture capital to do that. Thank Softbank and the Saudi Arabia Sovereign Wealth Fund for being the suckers who made that possible.

In Silicon Valley, up until about 2000, venture capitalists wanted a strong patent position before funding something. As a group, VCs made money from the 1970s to 2000 or so. In the 2000s, with the push for growth, failures cost more and VCs, as a group, lost money. Not sure about the 2010s.
There's no blame, it's just an observation.

One could use WordPress or Hugo. Or a Reddit account. The latter brings instant viewership and feedback. The former gives you more control.

I agree the way people get fired is less than ideal but this post doesn't really go into the right way to fire people. It does mention to shorten the time between notification and firing though but if you're going to criticize the actions of others, you should at least offer up a more complete solution.

Blogger... wasn't shut down?
Blogs can be static.

Netlify static hosting has a very low barrier of entry (just drop a folder if you don't have a git repo).

You get a fast SSL enabled site.

Adding your own domain is just going to your domain registrar as usual and pointing to the appropriate address.

Now, if you go over 100GB a month it could get pricey. https://www.netlify.com/pricing/

Still for a simple text oriented blog that could be a fantastic option.
