This is the case of when a picture is in a need of more words; not a thousand, but maybe enough to word the principle and contrast the novelty.

Still interested.

What I've gleaned from the Theranos saga is that the FDA has an office of criminal investigations and can refer cases to the DoJ for prosecution if there is a crime. I don't know if there would be a crime in that hypothetical scenario; Theranos was charged with wire fraud, and this is pretty clearly not wire fraud. I don't know if there's any recent historical precedent (since WWII) for researchers violating the FDA's notion of informed consent. It may be a type of negligence crime although I think the FDA has a pretty weak case for that.[1]

Heh. I remember the days before blogs. Everyone posted on community forums. You'd get some amazing, long, and lasting conversations that way. Then everyone who posted in the forums started blogging, and I saw the forums dry up. Sure, part of it was that teenagers grew up and went to college and didn't have time for the forums, but a good portion was due to blogs.

I suppose good communities still exist out there, somewhere... But, like the OP said about blogs being hyper focused, there don't seem to be many general forums. I've mostly stumbled across tech related forums.
I didn't read the article but I assume the ultimatum consists of "I'll cooperate x% of the time if you cooperate 100% of the time. Otherise I'll defect 100%".

Normally in game theory, such statements are not seen as "credible", i.e. you assume the other person is bluffing and you go on to defect 100% of the time.

Blogs are still around. They may even be up, since Medium started insisting that you sign in to read.

Try searching with Bing. Bing is years behind Google, and that's a good thing.
And look at Japan, where they half-assed their response and turned out better (fewer deaths per capita) than Greece. I think most commentary assigns way too much credit/blame to the government's response, while ignoring yet-unknown environmental, pre-existing cultural/behavioral, genetic, or other factors. I'm saying this not to excuse government incompetence, but to counter the persistent suggestion that everyone could have the same good result as e.g. South Korea if only their government had responded in the same way.

The President's tweet: "The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google. The Administration is working to remedy this illegal situation."

I don't know of the radical left controlling Facebook, Instagram, etc., but these are all private companies.

1. Unless Congress enacts some legislation on who can or cannot say what on these websites, what specific power does the Executive branch have?

2. And if they do have the power, does this mean the next administration (if liberal) could technically censure Rush Limbaugh and Rush Hannity for not being "fair" (whatever that means)?

Edit: I'm genuinely curious why the downvotes. Looks like I'm getting censured for asking a question that maybe isn't so convenient.
You would have to scrape the site when it's submitted, store more metadata for each submission, do some validation then allow it to post afterwards.

First, the URLs are perfectly identical minus the filename. You could compare paths, minus query string and filename, and that would give you a rough score of likely similarity for further checking. There would be false positives for sites that use the query string as part of their navigation the way HN does.

Then, you could test the social media meta tags (particularly title and author, if it's there), and a hash of the body text (normalized, all lowercase, etc.) for similarity to other possibly similar submissions.

Dupes could be automatically marked as such or flagged for review.

> Misleading title and misleading article. Better title would be "One of the major complications facing hospitalized coronavirus patients is blood clots".

I really dislike HN's habit to label controversial or incorrect articles as "misleading" - and then offer "corrections" that would radically alter an article's point.

The article's main claim is that around 30% of all serious ly ill COVID-19 patients develop blood clots - and the headline conveys that quite correctly.

Now that claim is quite likely incorrect or at least not the majority opinion - so you're very justified to criticize it. However to be able to do that we must at least acknowledge what the article was saying in the first place and not pretend it was saying something completely different.
I would argue Google also focuses on large corporations. I have a post on my blog that ranks really high (currently spot 3 for its keyword) in the bing/yahoo/ddg world but ranks after stack overflow, medium, reddit, youtube, etc. on google for the same keyword. (I did nothing to on this post for SEO it just organically showed up high on bing/yahoo/ddg)

I should also mention I have no ads of any kind on my blog.
Reddit is a waste of time with its "answers locked after 6 months" policy. This also violates netiquette for those situations when necroposting is the appropriate thing to do.
I have never understood the appeal of Twitter. (Or short Facebook/G+ status update type content) I mean, what is so great about seeing lots of really short posts? You can't say anything truly meaningful. It's just a bunch of pointless noise.
Can't you just set the timeline to show latest tweets first to avoid this? The alternative is certainly terrible (though mostly because it hides a bunch of tweets I actually wanted to view rather than because of any outrage), but the option to disable it is there.

A great choice to work with voice actors, because there isn't any 'pure' TTY that's good enough in the most general sense, having the actual voice actor as a working basis will help.

Perhaps for small game houses, they can just use something off the shelf, big houses can use a customized voice, and then not worry if they have to make tweaks or changes, they don't have to do a whole production.
Lots more options become available with streaming. Geforcenow and shadow are pretty good FPS at 1080p.
In addition to the points raised above, a false positive could also have negative impacts on income (unpaid sick leave to self-quarantine).

The false negative hypothesis is facile; even if you don't have it, you can still get it. Ignoring social distancing on that basis wouldn't be any more sensible than doing so without the test. To the extent that some people are just idiots, a false negative diagnosis does not change that.

> At the end of the day health officials, like the UCSF prof quoted here, just want people to be safe and healthy.

If only it were so simple. Publicizing private data is a one-way operation that has longer term effects on safety and health, and we should certainly not do it without a very strong reason to do so. Health officials will not be accountable for the long term effects of their actions. Apple and Google will, so they are somewhat more incentivized to act to protect their users' privacy.
I do something similar to publish my site/blog. I write in Markdown, then push to GitHub, which converts the Markdown to HTML and serves it through GitHub pages. I have my own URL but the site actually runs on GitHub. There's a build step but it's handled automatically in GitHub. I'm just writing Markdown.

That way I'm just maintaining a repo of Markdown files, though I could write HTML files too.

SMIs, random hardware that locks the bus for too long ... out of the kernel's control.

If you really want 10msec finger->ear (a goal that I would say is reasonable, though given many live performer's and mixing engineer's normal physical setups, probably excessive) and you want to guarantee it, it's not just the OS but the hardware you'll have to change. You cannot guarantee the required scheduling on general purpose (intel/amd) motherboards unless you take great care with the selection, and even then ... I've heard that financial services/investment firms are the main reason you can still buy mobos without SMIs, because their "latency" requirements would be broken by these interrupts.

On the other hand, the "not-guaranteed" case with a reasonable mobo, sensible bus connected devices, an RT kernel and properly written user space software is going to work almost all of the time. Just no guarantees.
But if you don't check frequently enough or read long enough then it is effectively filtering out tweets that aren't near the top.

What every software engineer should know about Apache Kafka
The 8087 emulation did not work exactly as described in footnote 1. Instead of writing 8087 instructions, the compiler wrote INT (software interrupt, often used for system or runtime calls) instructions. The first opcode of 8087 instructions only has eight possible values so you could for example use eight software interrupt vectors to encode the opcode into the second byte of the INT instruction.

If an 8087 was present, the interrupt handler simply patched in place the INT instruction, replacing it with an 8087 instruction. If the math coprocessor was absent, instead, the interrupt handler decoded the subsequent instruction bytes from the instruction stream and performed software emulation. All this was needed because the 8088 and 8086 didn't have undefined opcode exceptions!
AFAIK no. But there exist third party websites and apps that do. Or at least used to; Twitter may have changed it since I last used TweetBot.

I actually wrote that idea (two different signs) in the post but took it out :-) My thinking is that the hardware must support negation, so it would save space to have one constant and negate it instead of two constants with different signs.

I'm still investigating the chip, so I hope to find the exponent ROM (or Boolean logic as you suggest) and solve this puzzle.

I agree. Not to mention tweeting seems to carry the highest risk of destroying your career and/or social life of pretty much any other online medium. It probably has something to do with the whole "casual communication" focus. People tend to put a lot more thought (and time) into a blog post.

I think it's been years since I posted anything on twitter.
That quote is from the book Software Tools, kind of hard to find these days but well worth it.

> I think it's helpful to separate out pricing from product when talking about morality in business.

I don't think the two are so easily separable. If you take for example, "a dozen eggs", most people would consider that an acceptable product. But if you said "a dozen eggs for ten cents", for those to be legitimate eggs, they must be stolen. If you could somehow inspect them and guarantee they were legitimate, I am sure plenty of people would accept those stolen eggs at that price, but their willingness to pay for it doesn't mean the existence of a market for "a dozen eggs for ten cents" is moral.
>Moving Bitcoins between wallet is not anonymity and does not give you plausible deniability against law enforcement.

Moving fractions of bitcoin between 100+ wallets using something like coinjoin absolutely gives you plausable deniability and anonymity, how would anyone know what % is still in your custody?

With enough people doing this, eventually all bitcoin will be tainted. At that point will exchanges start to refuse 100% of all bitcoin being deposited?

I think its more likely chainalysis goes bankrupt.
There's Stephan Kinsella's point once again.
The bloggers went to places where the eyeballs are. If you read a good book, make photo and post it with a comment on instagram. You will get much more reaction than with a blogpost on your private blog. Same for forums. If you are looking for a community with a special interest you will have more luck to find an active facebook group than a independent forum/message board somewhere else.
That does very little for security, if it's not a net negative at all.

Most attacks aim at executing arbitrary code in the process space of the application being targeted. The lack of user-land does not help.
It's entirely reasonable to assume that tests with high error rates cause problems for everyone, not just "groups of individuals who you know are going to make ..."

For example, a PhD biologist friend of mine agonized for months before she was willing to look at her personal 23-and-me results, after the FDA certified them as accurate enough to show to consumers.

It's a real problem for everyone.
Personal thought:

I wonder when writing does the content have to provide something to the reader eg. teach them something. I like to just write as I build something but I think people don't want to read it if it's not cleaned up/packaged and has value.

I think of it like a live stream where you just tune in for noise.

I'm skeptical that anybody's Twitter is on par with the quality and engagement you see from something like Terrance Tao's WordPress blog. Unless you're including the linked content for preprints and the like, I just don't see it. The depth just isn't there. As a way to survey news in a field, sure, twitter definitely has value but the content on Twitter itself isn't really what I'd consider quality.
A big reason for cooperating in iterated prisoners dilemma in nature is that the benefits from cooperating with relatives is huge.

Entirely depends upon whether or not people feel safe in crowds.

More effective treatments, a vaccine, herd immunity, better testing and tracing, or some combination thereof could make people feel safe in crowds again.

But I do think there will be a large shift toward more "work from home" for office workers with fewer open office cube farms and more contained offices for individuals/small teams, so I would expect the lunch and afterwork crowds in Manhattan to thin out. It's not going to be fun going out to happy hour when you might get sick with a dangerous virus that could kill your parents if you visit them that weekend.

And 1-2 years is more than enough time for all of those bars in Times Square to go out of business. Someone will open new ones when a vaccine comes out, of course, but that could be a long time.

And if the schools do not reopen in the fall in the city but they do in the suburbs, a lot of families will leave. I might :(. Remote schooling has been a disaster.

Back in EE school in 1991, I installed an 8087 in my PC. The speed-up running Micro-CAP 3 was amazing, as a simple BJT CE amp sim only took a few minutes. Of course then I moved to a 486 and that same sim was finished before the mouse button lifted.

There has been an amazing amount of progress since then, but my PC is still too slow, as the simulations only get larger.
Ask HN: What mistakes you wish you avoided with your vlog/video course?
I am thinking about starting a youtube channel for aspiring tech leads - just because I believe it's an interesting medium, often unappreciated in the tech community, but also because I would like to practice my public speaking skills and share my thoughts with a greater audience.

That said, I am a perfectionist and although I can control it and will not go overboard, still I would like to start with decent quality videos from the beginning.

Do you have a vlog or a video course? Is there anything you learned after a while you wish you knew when you first started?
If you carefully curate who you follow, Twitter can be more like a bunch of subreddits, with the added signal of knowing who's posting. So it ends up a being great way to keep up with small communities.

Reality is complex, so we use simplified models in theories. But then the results from the models don't generalize back to reality very well. I think the tradeoffs are well known, and I don't think there's any magical solution.
Different needs, different tools. rclone is an option. I don't find it particularly complex but that depends on the user.

If you need document type conversion it doesn't do that. I'm not aware of any limitations regarding big transfers -- I've used rclone to move terrabytes of video files with no problems. It copies incrementally and can retry/restart failed transfers.

Google Drive has a daily transfer limit, maybe that's what you mean, but that's not a limitation of rclone.
