Apparently (I can't back this up with sources right now) infections usually happen with someone you spend a significant amount of time with - e.g. together in a restaurant vs crossing their path at the supermarket. With mandatory masks on public transport and elsewhere, this distinction is reinforced and contact tracing becomes easier.

It is hard to imagine SK's infection rate is anything other than very small, given their extremely low death rate (264 for a pop of ~50MM) - to insinuate otherwise is, well, questionable.

Sadly a different dimension has crept into what should be a reasoned public health emergency response. I'm not sure from where, or why, or indeed who - but we should be vigilant, the cost is terrible.
Since „culture“ is commonly defined as „everything that is not nature“, and „genetics“ is a big chunk of „nature“, Cultural + Genetics is rather close to „everything“. Only weather might be missing.
One of my local pubs was open today with the caveat that people has to drink outside.

There were enough people outside to make it impossible to have everyone at 2m distance, but for a second I considered breaking social distancing for drinking a beer in a warm sunny day.

YouTube does, in fact, have a program to defend fair use, and they reject DMCA notices in those cases. But it's expensive and they can't do it in every case. Lawyers are expensive.

YouTube gets sued enough by idiots who think the DMCA safe harbor doesn't apply for whatever reason.

Anyway, I disagree that YouTube doesn't need the safe harbor. If they had to pay a lawyer for a minute of time for every DMCA request received, they'd lose money.

YouTube did innovate. They created a system for the largest content creators which automated complaints and created a special appeals process, which discourages DMCA complaints. They also placed protections on this program and ban people from it that submit too many false complaints.
Adding to the pile of people agreeing. SQLite works okay for analytics for now, and I would be super-interested in something embeddable more tailor-made for analytics, but don't understand yet in what specific ways DuckDB is an improvement.
Most societies actually have something to solve such disputes: courts of law.

The real tragedy is that we decided to let corporations grow so big that they can say "fuck you" to courts and people alike with no repercussions. Twitter is famous for this, ever tried to appeal a ban?
MySQL 5.6 was released in 2012. Postgres 9.5 was released in 2016, so this isn't really a fair comparison.

Personally, I think that that the mindset that you're causing deaths by going outside is an act of denial (on the part of those who believe they can avoid it).

It's far more sane (in the sense of being compatible with remaining of sound mind), and realistic, to assume that if you interact with society in the next year or so you _will_ get the virus, and that you're risking your own life by going outside.

To think otherwise is not only incorrect, it's socially poisonous. It's placing the burden of your own wellbeing onto every man, woman and child in the country, pitting us against each other in a cruel game, which at least on a statistical level is likely to have the same result regardless.

> Can you imagine anyone saying "We have AIDS under control, cases are only doubling once every 5 weeks."

HIV/AIDS is a disease that, prior to the invention of modern medication, had essentially a 100% fatality rate.

By contrast, at even a 1% fatality rate (way higher than the actual rate when both asymptomatic individuals and the skew to the elderly are taken into account), a 1 year lockdown represents a greater fraction of most individuals' lives.

If you're happy staying inside forever, more power to you. My vulnerable family members will be doing exactly that, regardless of Government advice, and it's very difficult for me to deal with the fact that I won't be able to see them as a result.

I only hope that your asinine plan doesn't result in half of the population either going insane or revolting because you're stealing a significant portion of their youth.

I’m not arguing either. But dude, google? Google!? Its business is selling ads for corporations. A google software engineer can get a job at countless places including nonprofits sometimes making close to google money, but even if they made half that income they would be living more comfortably than 3/4s of the US.

I wouldn't advocate for slower software, but is all of this really necessary for a fast RSS reader? My RSS reader downloads the entire XML file as blob, parses it into an array of structs, then walks over the array looking for new links. It's not particularly slow. I can't imagine it would be worth optimizing this aspect of the code base.
I suspect most organizations are guilty of these items and much more, they just haven't been thrust into the lime-light so suddenly like Zoom.

Having posts like this to learn from mistakes are great, but it also seems like these are mistakes that are repeated over and over. I don't know what the answer is, but it seems software will always be considered a joke to other engineering disciplines until we can actually get disciplined.
Looks like a cool project! However, I think that relying on hardware buttons as one of the main input sources is a bad idea. They are just not reliable and not engineered for continuous frequent use.

Yes, most wordpress or joomla sites come to mind. There is typically only one application communicating with it, the user doesn't typically doesn't admin the database directly (and if they did they want a file), medium traffic load (hundreds per second), and most of the queries are reads, with the occasional content update.

As soon as you get into privilege levels or heavy loads, then those others make more sense.

I think separable land rights considerably predate modern capitalism.

Things like water rights and "right to roam" are downright ancient, and it was pretty common that you could buy, lease or have customary rights to hunt, fish, take firewood etc without owning the land itself.

I was doing some data comparison and found what I felt was a strong correlation between the hardest hit areas and annual metro ridership.

The differences in numbers are quite large. (For example NYC is twice the size of LA, but manages 7x the amount of subway riders.)

Using this model, the differences showed that the data isn't just reflecting general population size / city density.

> If every time I take a sample it's slightly higher, does this still hold?

I don't know enough stats to give a firm answer, but I'd reckon there is a key assumption that the samples need to be drawn i.i.d. from a single underlying probability distribution, or perhaps need to satisfy the related assumption of being exchangeable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and_identically_di...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_random_variables

In your example of a sequence of samples that increase, they're certainly not exchangeable. I think they're not independent either.

E.g. thought experiment to give a concrete version of your example, where we define it so there's no randomness at all to make it easier to think about : let's suppose an idealised situation where we launch a space probe that travels away from the earth at 15 km / second. Suppose we have some way of measuring the distance d(t) that probe is from earth at some time t after launch. Regard each distance measurement d(t) as a sample. Let's assume we take 5 samples by measuring the distance every 10 seconds after launch. So t_1=10s, ..., t_5=50s, and d(t_1)=150km, ..., d(t_5)=750km.

The sequence of distance samples d(t_1), d(t_2), d(t_3), d(t_4), d(t_5) is not exchangeable as if we exchange two samples like d(t_2) <-> d(t_4), the permuted sequence d(t_1), d(t_4), d(t_3), d(t_2), d(t_5) corresponds to the situation: "at 10 seconds the probe was 150 away, at 20 seconds the probe was 600 km away, at 30 seconds the probe was 450 km away, at 40 seconds the probe was 300 km away, at 50 seconds the probe was 750 km away" -- the probability of observing that outcome is an awful lot lower -- based on our understanding of how physics of the situation work in this idealised example -- than the probability of observing the outcome from the original sequence (this is pretty sloppy as I am not clearly distinguishing between observed values and random variables, but hopefully it gives some vague intuition).

So if you want to estimate the median distance of the probe from the earth from 5 samples, you roughly need to take 5 measurements at 5 times chosen to be uniformly at random from the entire period you are interested in. E.g. if you want to estimate the median distance of the probe from the earth during the first 10 years of travel, you need to draw 5 samples from 5 different times sampled from the uniform distribution over the period [0 seconds, 10 years]. Then the resulting estimated median distance would only apply for the distance of the probe during that time period, it would not be an estimate that could be applied for any different time period.

In a nutshell, it's a file-per-database embedded DB like SQLite, and it's installable as a Python or R package from PyPI or CRAN, but unlike SQLite, it's a column store with vectorized operations so it's more performant for analytical queries.
No need to feel for me. Growing up is about making mistakes, taking your licks, learning your lessons, and moving on. I was on the wrong side, legally and ethically.

If anything, it made me feel both unwise and ignorant, so I addressed that by going to law school and passing the bar. I have a great career and I keep my nose clean.

I also have a different perspective now - one of the creator instead of the consumer. And I disagree that Goliath always has to win. Sometimes the big guy is wrong; and thank goodness we have folks like EFF to help out when they abuse their wealth and power. When the little guy is on the right side of the argument, I will also stand up for them.

Keep in mind, too, that Kik doesn't exactly have overflowing pockets. They can barely pay their bills and nearly shut down last year.

Visual studio is slow because its an unoptimized piece of software (it misses CPU cache often and does frequent disk seeks, etc.)

The best way to get performance from such software is:

1) make sure it (and the project) are on a fast SSD. NVME is better but SATA is good.

2) getting a good CPU for the workload. For pure IDE user experience it won't make much of a difference as long as it's a recent high end enough CPU (fast RAM latency, high enough clock frequency, enough cores, ...)
It’s much faster for analytical queries, because it’s a column store rather than a row store.

I appreciate the article, gitlabs, and da'reg commenter "Spencer" for pointing out that gitlabs publishes their security handbook: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/

As I read through these comments and the linked handbook, it kinda makes me want to work for a company like that. As important as security is, even the security handbook has an appropriate tone vs. treating people (CS talented or not) as idiots who cannot be trusted. Good job gitlabs.
It slightly bothers me that people regularly claim the marijuana of the 1970's was so much weaker than today, for example the statement that the cannabis of the 70s was no stronger than todays hemp. In my neck of the woods there has always been stuff that is basically as good as it is today. Keep in mind hash has existed at least 1000 years, and cannabis has been cultivated for millenia. Sure, there was copious amounts of low quality mexican weed in the 1970s, but there were people growing the good stuff as well, albeit with lower yields and much longer flowering times. I've grown out some afghani seeds collected in the early 80s from the soviet army and despite the extremely long flowering time it is unbelievably potent and aromatic. Its a much more skunky, acrid aroma than the designer fruity strains of today, but the THC is there.
He said this year’s graduates would be “probably one of a handful of the most challenged high school graduating classes since the class of 1942,” during World War II.

“Today we call those graduates part of the Greatest Generation,” Roberts said. “What are they going to call you? Your challenge is not as great, but it’s big and it’s yours.”

I suspect this will be recalled as an example of counting one's chickens before they've hatched. It's not like we can say the instant crisis is past the peak.
Ask HN: How do you prioritize things to read?
There are so many great articles posted in Hackernews every day that worth reading. Plus if you are a developer you have to read a lot of articles about new techs and frameworks every week. Also there are enormous books about technical and non-technical subjects that we should read to upgrade our minds.

I've been struggling prioritizing articles, news and books to read. there are so many folders left on my desktop with bunch of pdf files, named "To Read - X". Or for example so many tabs of blogs and posts that I wanted to read, left on my browser. Of course I did well in organizing them, so I used a tab manager to create folders of tabs containing tens of them.

So, how do you manage and prioritize your to-read things? Maybe my problem is that I should select less things to read and be more strict in selecting them. Or maybe I should limit the amount of things to read and do not add more things to get everything read. I don't know which one is the best solution. If you've had similar problem please let me know how did you get your solution for it.
The difference in scale of effort and money/time of being downstream vs a fork makes it at least possible that they would do no such thing. I personally think it would be extremely unlikely they would fork it.

I just think any attempt would quickly be overwhelmed by Google pointing their data engine at something similar. Whatever your idea is, it will have to not just be slightly more data efficient at learning how to serve results. It will have to be millions or billions of times more data efficient. It doesn’t seem humanly possible to compete with.

You still have to make network calls to obtain public key (JWKS) to validate token signature. Unless you are using shared private keys. With userinfo you will know if token is invalidated or not.

I guess it also depends on use case. If you are in domains such as banking with elevated security requirements, then probably you want to hit userinfo endpoint else you can continue with token validation with cached or stored keys.
When did I say I don’t wear a mask? You’re making some big assumptions. This is the danger with vilifying someone who you disagree with.

Hi, I currently use Azure which has strict lines between organisation tenancies/domains/accounts and personal ones. This means I know that my liability is limited to my business.

> It won't get you high in the same way that Modern Engineered Marijuana (TM) will (read: it won't make you go crazy)

Make you go crazy? I've had friends who were all-day stoners for 20+ years. I've never seen anyone "go crazy". Become lazy yes, get couch-locked yes, get really creative yes, have short attention spans yes; crazy, no. Worst I've seen is someone who's never smoked do a dab (inhale highly concentrated THC as a vapor) and have a paranoid panic attack, after which I learned that they were prone to panic attacks. I do agree, however, that the genetically engineered marijuana of today is at least 5% more potent than the stuffs of the 60s-70s.
I admit I was kind of thinking that, even though I appreciated the humor. :) I imagine an awful lot of web sites out there would do just fine with SQLite as their back end.

I want to share a testimony of how i got this blank card. I was searching for loan on the internet and all i came across was scammers who kept on requesting for more payment without getting any cent, i was so doomed that i was in debts and my conditions of financial stability became worse than ever that i couldn't even afford to feed my family. My wife and kids had to go the parents house for shelter and i was alone struggling to make ends meet but all was in vain. I started sleeping inside a vehicle parked along the streets unknown to the owner, so one morning i went to see my family in her mothers place where i was able to go online with a computer searching for a job, then i came across comments on blank card worth $17,000.000.00. I doubted this to be true and decided to give it a try and contacted the email {blankcardsmaster@yahoo.com}. I was surprised to receive a response from the hackers requesting for my vital information and also notify me that the card was for sale, i wasn't bothered about the fee but giving my info to hackers got me worried but i had no choice but to send it to them and waited for their actions. I was told the terms guiding the card which i obliged and today, i got a card worth $17,000.000.00 Dollars, please don't be fooled by fake loan lender's if you are in financial stress, contact these hackers below for free money via email thou its illegal+1(786)652-9936
