> Suppressing the first signal means it can replicate faster because the cells in the area didn't stop their replication facilities.

The article also says this suppression is "stronger than the original SARS virus or influenza viruses".

The article touches on how this might connect with the severity of the disease. But I'm curious if it could also have something to do with how easy it is to transmit. If your lungs contain many times more viruses (than they'd have with most other diseases), then perhaps when you cough, many times more viruses float out into the air.

> I don’t want youtube to be in charge of deciding what is credible or not.

YouTube has to make these decisions because there's no one else willing or able to do the job. If the government established a Department of Social Media to do the same work, HN would be losing its mind over government censorship. And if YouTube does nothing at all, it ends up hosting terrorist recruiting videos and instructional videos on how much bleach to drink to kill coronavirus.

You might be uncomfortable with the role of big tech companies in moderating content but, until you can provide an alternative, your discomfort does not override the imperative to save human lives.

> It is a representation of the value of the labor of that human.

By withholding economic power until someone provides "labor" as defined by the state, and leaving them embedded in an economy which requires money to survive, you are directly tying the value of the human life to the value of their labor.

Published Cost of living calculators rarely reflect reality in my experience. I definitely don’t pay anything close to the average cost of living for a single person in San Francisco, for example.

I agree very strongly with you, but I don't think that's where the parent poster was going.

Imagine we have a UBI, and we do all kinds of other smart things -- end the War on Drugs, establish Bismarck-style national healthcare[1], all that.

Let's do a thought experiment.

What happens when Alice blows all of her UBI on Lady Lee Vodka and Oxy. Nothing left for rent, food, the rest. Nobody else in the picture to help: no relatives, nada.

If we look at UBI as the only social assistance program, Alice dies on the street.

That's the reality, and we need to accept that.

Alternatively, we would need some sort of "backup" reserved for people that are not capable of caring for themselves.

Maybe something like restarting the mental hospitals that Reagan closed in the 80's after Geraldo -- and the rest of Our Friends In The News -- ran wild with the scandal of how awful those government-run mental hospitals were, with the end result being that a bunch of mentally ill folks got chucked out on the street.

Now, I don't know what the answer is. I really don't.

My concern is that I see a lot of people talking up only the benefits, and not in any way addressing the failure cases.

[1] Yields better results than single-payer, and is better at controlling costs.
I learned BASIC as a kid (first on a mainframe terminal with line numbers), and use Python today. I think the language is not as important as other issues:

1. Computers are so much more advanced now, that the obvious gap between beginner and commercial software is vast. This can be discouraging. When I learned BASIC, I could write programs that didn't look any more crappy than typical commercial software, even if there was a performance gap.

2. There's more magic involved today, meaning that when you run into an obstacle, you wave a wand and a library or stackoverflow post magically appears. To do something in the old BASIC, you had to figure out a way to compose it out of the 13 keywords that you had already learned. So you were forced to think about algorithms, right off the bat.

3. You were closer to the hardware, which was more exciting if you were interested in things. I could kinda explain what the computer was actually doing. I loved math as a kid, but I also loved electronics. The day that I programmed a thing to do something (maybe just a blinking LED) was like the rapture for me.

What's closest to the old experience for me is not a language, but a thing: A microcontroller board. Out of the box, it has no GUI, so no expectations for what "cool" software looks like. And you can make it do things that have an immediate sensory effect. You can now put CircuitPython on a Teensy 4.0 board, and sidestep having to learn C, at least for a while. And your son can really own the thing that he's programming.

As a minor suggestion, you can also get closer to the computer and to programming by making more use of the command terminal when showing your son how to do things.

A final word, don't be heartbroken if it doesn't click. It might not. This is also something parents are told when their kids start music lessons.

A car costs the same no matter where you live in the United States. A computer costs the same no matter where you live in the United States. A phone costs the same no matter where you live in the United States. A refrigerator costs the same no matter where you live in the United States.

What blatant incompetence on so many levels. There are so many people here that need to lose their jobs, COVID be damned.
It's an authortarian dream. Got a fine? Just deduct it. Putting people on the take gives government significantly more leverage over them. Just wait till China pairs it with their social credit score.
Isnt it pretty obvious? People are under the illusion they are paid for the work they do.

They are not and never have been. They have always been paid what someone is willing to pay them for the work they do.

It's subtle but important distinction.

Salary is a function of demand and supply like any other price on an open market.

This is why its important to not think in terms of work when negotiating a salary. Instead you need to think in terms of cost to find someone to take your place.

If that cost is more than your salary, you can ask for more.

When you're actually computing things, such as numerically approximating an integral, you do so by breaking it into small pieces and adding them together. Infinitesimals are the limit of that process as the smallness goes to zero. I think the key problem here is that students use the symbolic rules but never actually do numerical computations of this kind.
Most of this I agree with. Frankly, though, Stroudtrup’s design goals are better: multi-paradigm programming, you don’t pay for what you don’t use, etc.

Some points:
* There are still tons of 32 bit machines out there—old Windows machines chugging along, usually disconnected (thankfully), and you’d like to be able to use your _current_ codebase to target them.

* If C++ is to focus on performance, it needs much better tooling around UB, be a bit more permissive of old behavior that now triggers UB, with formal semantics, AND it needs to define semi-portable SIMD vector operations. Getting the utmost performance out of modern CPUs entails using vector operations.

* It also makes me sad to say goodbye to big endian.

I think the problem with standardized tests is that they're standardized; you can prepare for them. It reduces both the effectiveness and the equity, because preparation for the tests is something that rich kids will have better time and access to.

I'm guessing you meant "parse the CSV correctly using only bash", and I agree that's difficult, which is why you should not do that. Instead, you should use a tool that has been specifically designed to do that one task, and do it well (in this case, that task is "convert a csv into a format that's easier to work with, namely json"). This is the unix way.

How extensible is PowerShell? With bash, you can write a new command that takes text input in a certain format and produces text output in a certain format, in whatever language you want, and plug it in in the appropriate place in the pipeline. Is the same true of PowerShell?
What's the solution to misinformation across social media networks, like Twitter and Instagram?
Me learning doesn't hurt you.
If you want the gist of the story:

Scott Forstall interviews at Apple.

During one of the many interviews onsite, Steve Jobs pulls the interviewer out of the room then eventually replaces the interviewer and begins peppering Forstall with questions. They have a connection and Jobs offers him a job on the spot (but also tells him to go through with the rest of the interviews).

Scott calls up his contact at Microsoft and turns down the offer he had from there.

The next day he gets a package at his doorstep. He opens it up and it's a huge dead fish. Forstall, thinking maybe it is a threat from Microsoft, calls up his contact and asks what the meaning of this was. His contact explains that they went down to Pike's Market, bought the largest King Salmon from there, packed it up with ice and shipped it down to him.

He ate it that night but still ended up going to Apple.
> Poverty is literally only solved with money.

That's a big statement, with a lot of evidence against it. I recall an experiment where a homeless man was given $100,000, and was back on the streets in no time.

The idea that you "solve problems with money" seems to be an American disease. That we just haven't pumped enough money into the machine to make it work.

Homelessness and poverty are big, complex problems. Money is likely part of the solution, but so is education, and we aren't going to fix that with Yet More Money -- seriously, the US spends an insane amount on education to receive incredibly poor results.

> Surprisingly, the cheapest and easiest way to solve someone's poverty is to just give them money. If they abuse it? Fine. They were going to do that anyway.

I agree with you there. All the efforts to curb "abuse" have been an absolute waste of time.
Making the test user-friendly and to fail elegantly is the College Board’s job. That this issue occurred in the first place shows a complete and utter lack of any competent QA whatsoever, any competent programming, and any competent risk management.

The blame is 99% in the CollegeBoard’s hand. It is completely unacceptable for them to fail in this manner. If you are an institution that holds so much power over students’ lives, failures like these must be punished severely, but instead, the Board is getting off with just making the students re-take the exam when they are coming off of their most prepared state.

The implication is that one's worth comes from one's job, with the corollary that one's role in society is that of "worker" and "consumer", or if not simply just "consumer" then worthless.

It is socially corrosive because it is removes any concept of social relationship from the calculus of social worth.

And you see this in the discussion of "opening up the economy" as though that is the #1 parameter of existence. Certainly without a functioning economy there is no food or other basic needs, but the objectives are complex functions, not simplistic ones. The implication is that those who were not lucky enough to have a job that generates income during a time of pandemic must needs put themselves at risk while others need not. Disgraceful.

It's the same reason I cringe when people talk or write about "consuming content", as if "content" is fungible and that peoples' roles are to "consume" it -- when information is not "consumed" (destroyed) by being enjoyed.
It does have pretty much exactly that message. The corruption problems came from students seeing that only PNGs/JPGs were allowed, then trying to "convert" the file just by renaming it.

What they're doing is the same as 99% of other sites that expect images. But it's probably fair to expect it to be even more streamlined (i.e: clear conversion instructions) given the circumstances of a time-limited exam.
There's also a few servers running Construct (https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/construct), a homeserver written in C++, on the network as well.

I don't use it myself, but I hear it's quite snappy too.
by god, please share this secret of getting your 4 year old to be quiet on her own for extended lengths of time! :bow:
This is a ridiculous statement. It’s the College Board’s job to validate input files. How incompetent do you have to be to just fail if someone uploads a different format? That is absurdly unacceptable for the multi-billion dollar industry that the College aboard is.

hey

some options for your friend:

1)if he has hardcore skills like programming, or any techy-related, try upwork.com and find a niche for himself, but a new comer will have a difficult time to get sales first, you need start with a very low price rate, get some orders then raise your hourly rate.
2)he can also choose Fiverr.com, one can provide many services there, typically $5 per case, small cash.
3)start a youtube channel: post videos that he is good at and can attract enough visitors. This is pretty much a long term endeavor as you need 4000 hours watch and 1K subscribers to get monetization enabled, but if he can find the right niche and get the hang of it, this thing is legit and can earn enough for living.

seems there are no very quick ways to make some money, but he could still try:

4) provide some quick local services for quick money
5) regard 3), he can post CPA offers under the subscription section below the Youtube video, you can earn money at very 1st day via doing CPA affiliate marketing, just post right videos, attract visitors, put offers.

Good luck

This condition is called Essential Tremors, and it is one of the impacts of increased mTOR and IGF-1 levels that so many of us have from eating too much meat. According to Dr. Oliverirea, as an example, in her presentation she showed that eating 1.5 ounces of chicken per day, increases your chances of getting Essential Tremors by x21!! Wow. Eating meat and diary in excess has consequences and there's a lot of research to back that up.

VPD is a bullshit number easily game and highly prone to politics. I read this as "people in office have an advantage with politics". Which is a real thing. A bad thing, but a real thing.

Suffocating Agile, as is the standard these days, is about pushing away risky, but really valuable tasks, in favor of fine grained, easily estimated and understandable tasks that are only of minor importance but "feel" like progress. They are more amenable to Bad Agile, and so are the tasks that get selected increasingly in the long run.

WFH is far, far better at deep work, which is much more important to the long term value of a company.
