That seems roughly consistent with what surveys have shown in other countries. But it still suggests that if the virus had been allowed to spread uncontained, death tolls would be several times what they are now.
Like the others have said, it's not a secret: it's in his book. He didn't even own the supplement company or anything; he was just a dropshipper.
The argument in favor of Google Fonts and similar services is that visitors likely already have that font cached from visiting another site that uses the same font. It can also decrease bandwidth costs if that's a bottleneck.

That said, serving from your own domain is a great way to make sure that a third party can't break your fonts, in addition to what you mentioned about privacy.
Has anyone ever suggested doing "progressive fonts"? I.e., start the font downloading before the page renders at all; have the font organized so the first thing that's received is the bounding boxes + kerning table + ligatures table (= enough to know how much space an inline flow of graphemes will take up); then load the page, with the page layout already settled, while loading the font itself in the background. Eventually, the text just pops into existence (without disrupting the layout) once the font is available.

Or, if you don't want to make the browser engine understand the intricacies of font formats, just split the font file for each font-family into two new file-subformats, one for layout-description and one for visual-description. Then add a rule to the CSS parser, saying that CSS references to font layout-description files are loaded synchronously (i.e. blocking rendering), while CSS references to font visual-description files are loaded asynchronously (as they always have been.)

It means those companies will need to do censoring better job rather than peddling a certain unstantiate views as truth and claimed it is universally fact checked like evans evans evans (yeah, who fact check the fact checker and so on?). Or else, they get sue by anyone. Expect many social media companies to be less meddling now as they can't afford to be the next gawker. Lawsuit is very stressful and tiring even if you can afford to lose. Just go ask Bill Gates his monumental IE court adventure decades ago.

Trump's motive is questionable, but the outcome of this is definitely better for the society. Many social media has not check and balance due to that 230. Now we the people able to check and balance while getting paid handsomely for doing so. Just see how CNN behave before and after Sandmann.
Maybe they're doing it more for leverage.
People certainly want to add extra oomph to posts.

Show HN: Recursive Matrix Inversion Algorithm
The inverse of a 2x2 matrix (a b;c d) has a fairly simple explicit solution (d -b;-c a)/(ab-bc).

I was wondering if it's possible to have a similar formula for a matrix of dimension 2^n decomposed into a 2x2 block-wise matrix of four 2^(n-1) matrices.

I thought recursion could be desirable if one wants to make matrix inversion parallelizable.

I wrote a short javascript gist and apparently it works (a matrix A.mul(A.inverse) is very close to identity, up to numerical approximation).

Not sure what this is worth, but I thought it was interesting so I wanted to share.

>8 hours a day, 5 days a week

That's the thing, I'm not. Almost no one who is doing knowledge work is getting 8 hours a day of work done. Instead of driving to the office to get 4-5 hours of work in and goof off the rest of the time with a forced group of people, I get 4-5 hours of work done at home and goof off with whomever I choose.

I work a few hours in the morning. Leave in the middle of the day to walk the dog to the park, have a long lunch with my fiancee, or run errands. Come home do a few more hours of work. Or I work early and take the afternoon off to go hiking etc...

>by people of "your tribe", as the OP put it.

I don't won't my workmates to be the people of my tribe. I work to live, I don't live to work. Our economic system isn't set up to allow everyone to do this, but most of us on HN could if we wanted to.

I've done this for about 5 years now btw. I don't make quite as much as I could if I worked for a FAANG, but I live in a low cost of living area in a medium sized city near plenty of mountains. I highly recommend it over the rat race.
Facebook and Twitter should face the same liability as the New York Times. How many companies do you know that have absolute immunity? That's how Facebook, Google, and others have grown so large. They don't have to worry about what goes out on their platforms.
The moderation problem scales in relation to the size of the userbase. For small communities like Hacker News a single moderator is no problem, but larger communities end up needing more and more moderators until you have so many that you need meta-moderators moderating your moderators. Once you've grown beyond a small community bad actors will constantly attack your system, often with complaints that they are being unfairly repressed and bad faith reports on good users.

Pretty soon there are news reports about how badly you discriminate against certain groups and world governments start poking their nose in your business. Plus you hit that endless stream of edge cases where no matter what solution you choose someone is going to compare it to the holocaust. Even clear simple policies get bogged down in edge cases extremely quickly. For example, you might have a "no nudity" rule on your site. Very easy, but now you're getting lawsuits from the breastfeeding mother's association on one end for taking down their content and the anti-pornography league on the other end because you allowed a picture of a bare ankle to remain up.
Impossible to say really, since most will just come back later. Especially given that it'll likely be brief.

Brilliant. Love it. Of course we see this everything, in automation in aviation for example, or in cars, or even reliance on urban solutions like food delivery and such.

In each of these cases, things become more convenient/less complex, but a new set of problems crop up.

Thank you for your armchain philosophising.

Facebook's latest internal polling - the majority of people want to be in the office sometimes.

Programmers are not sysadmins are not network engineers are not tech support are not DBAs are not ...

Increasingly, people in one area are expected to take on the responsibilities of other areas. This invariably ends up in disaster the moment you've scaled past the point that inexperienced person can go. Not because that person doesn't have good intentions, or ability to read manuals, but because some things you only learn by doing the hard way.

DevOps tries to turn developers into sysadmins. Sysadmins make fantastic scripts to manage their servers. Developers make fantastic programs. The skills are similar but ultimately very different, the problem domains are very different, and the thought processes required are very different.

"Oh I can just copypasta this from stackoverflow" is a terrible way to develop or administer systems. The danger is squared when it's the area you care less about, as you have even less chance of detecting when you're doing it wrong.

Alas, business needs don't allow for the right thing to be done from the start, which is reasonable as the money needs to go on generating more money and fast.

Which is why every business has technical debt, always and forever, and overpaid consultants will always have jobs pointing out where the problems are for other people to fix.
This goes hand in hand with writing. (Good) Writing involves thinking deeply about an idea or a topic. Many good writers appreciate critical feedback, this involves getting your ideas validated or invalidated.

It is quite easy to be in an environment of smart people thanks to the internet. By thinking deeply about a problem or ten, trying to write a clear essay on it helps with this.
Is it not sufficient to discuss the potential for abuse in such a scenario? Does one necessarily need evidence of prior abuse to voice their concern about a potentially broken system?

For instance, in this case the ballots are being automatically mailed to everyone who is registered to vote. Today my roommate is registered to vote. Tomorrow he hypothetically dies of COVID-19. Day after tomorrow, his ballot arrives in the mail. I sign his signature and cast his vote. Fraud.

We are in a status quo where otherwise healthy people are dying by the hundreds and thousands on a weekly basis, plus the other hundreds and thousands dying of typical causes. Their ballots are all being mailed out. Can you explain how the system will be protected from the abuse I am describing? Do I need to provide you with evidence that this is happening before I am allowed to criticize the proposed system?

Anyway - now I have described some hypothetical ways in which the system can be abused. Now I reckon that someone who is better informed about this can reply to this comment and correct wherever I am mistaken and provide references as to how what I am saying is incorrect.

Should a technology company that is running a social media platform now network with expert committees of all topics to provide arguments against electoral candidates whenever they posit something similar to what I have outlined above?

Why is it not better to let their opposing candidates do it themselves? How about a feature where the opponents' replies are pinned below the tweet?
Kind of. The difference is that AppGet is open source with no patents - so what they did was legal and, you might say, within ethical boundaries (except for the way they treated Keivan by stringing him along and then ghosting him) - though I could be persuaded that it isn't ethical for a trillion-dollar company to simply copy an existing open-source project, without some sort of voluntary compensation.
That's one of the reasons I outsourced myself to Mexico and adopted a lifestyle that works with a Mexican salary. Lol.
> Or, alternatively, "How many Python 2 scripts will run on a Python 3 interpreter?" Answer: "None of them."

That's obviously untrue. For example, consider the following Python 2 script:

with open('a.txt', 'r') as a, open('b.txt', 'w') as b:
for line in a:
b.write(line)

It works identically on a Python 3 interpreter, and it doesn't even use "from __future__ import ...".
Cloudflare should do this. They already have the infrastructure and they have a pretty good privacy reputation.
Think about the leverage Twitter already has! If Twitter wanted to, and not saying they haven't, they could easily sway an election, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Surely you can find a better reason than simply saying this is fascist.
I would have preferred 'stripprefix' for unity with 'strip', 'rstrip', and 'lstrip'
I have the same case and share your opinion. It gets warm, but CPU temperature is well within limits. And somehow the idea of passive cooling is very attractive.

If you limit the scope of usage, the old wallet should be garbage collected as soon as you have the new one. If you don't want to rely on that, or the point in time when gc happens is important or you're dealing with sensitive data, then the environment should allow you to perform appropriate cleanup actions and for you to utilize a different means to control and protect the data.

On the contrary, Twitter has repeatedly failed to enforce their own rules/TOS, primarily to benefit a single extremist political faction.
Same here. Smile Always for Chrome.
For purely aesthetic purposes, this might be a fair point. However, there are many reasons to use custom fonts beyond that. One example is accessibility in a very broad sense. In some circumstances, it reasonable to use a font with more legible type across device types, more support for internationalization (i18n), or better support for uncommon characters (e.g., mathematics).

Another example is alternatives to image assets. Emoji are the common example here, but the private use areas [1] mean that fonts can be used to deliver what would otherwise be raster images or SVGs. A great example is mixing symbols in with text without resorting to images or CSS-via-spans to solve the problem. Think public transit icons, for instance.

> "The room" has lost most of its meaning, hasn't it?

I don't think so. Trust and sense of shared purpose and ability are still largely built in person. The continued productivity people claim during the pandemic lockdown is mostly coasting off what was largely established in person before.

Websites, chat-rooms, and video calls are no substitute for the environment created by the physical agglomerations of people found in industry hubs.

That's not specific to the tech industry, either. It's true for any industry whose progress is dictated by hubs of creativity, including health, energy, entertainment, and transportation.
> and engage with websites and services to ensure they are prepared for the SameSite labeling policy

I'm not experienced in this area, what does "engage with" mean in this context? Does Google send emails to webmasters, do they seek out large sites and post comments on their blogs saying "SameSite! It's in July so be ready OK?"

Is it a message that appears in Google Console, is it a posting on Google Groups and they hope lots of people will see it?
That's not clear from the website itself - regardless, it would be better to reflect the website as is in the title here.

EDIT - title changed, cheers.
Yeah, but how many people come back to make a purchase after the site is back up? I don't think you can just extrapolate that 1 minute down equals $500k lost revenue.

I believe that you need the S4TF fork of the Swift compiler. It might be doable to swap it into Xcode as part of an alternate toolchain, but it's not likely to be easy.
I wonder how many millions of revenue Amazon loses per minute of downtime, specifically the revenue that won't come back once the website is back online.
I suspect OP's confusion (and mine) stems from the domain name - it singles out a single religion (Hinduism). I'd be interested in knowing how the site will accommodate discussions on other faiths without changing that domain name.
Exactly! As much as HN likes to yell "orange man bad" the disconnect between reality and politics has made it so they don't see the benefit of eliminating sec 230.
Well, for one thing, they haven't actually removed the disinformation....
> Or, alternatively, "How many Python 2 scripts will run on a Python 3 interpreter?" Answer: "None of them."

That is not true though, a lot of 2 scripts will run no problem, especially if import future is used
Not speaking with your subordinates at least once a week is a pretty solid indication of a shitty manager...
That's not how section 230 works at all.

Sites under section 230 are well-within their rights to curate content. They're just not responsible FOR content posted on their platform. It seems like you have an objective misunderstanding of how section 230 works.

For example, HN is a platform covered by section 230 as well. If HN removes political content, do you believe that HN should have its section 230 rights revoked?
vimwiki is pretty close but this adds some nice touches on top.
I don't think it's one skill; it's having your antennae up at all times and sensing what the next big thing might be, as well as actually liking that thing.

For me it was AWS. About 7 years ago I was sitting in "Architecting on AWS" and I had an epiphany that this wasn't a game changer, this was a game redefiner. I was jazzed about it and have been pursuing AWS jobs and expertise every since. AWS isn't the end-all and be-all, and it's abused more often than not, but it has provided an extremely lucrative career for me. Also, as much shit as Amazon gets, AWS is a very, very good product, or suite of products. It only gets more complicated every year and my idea of it evolves every year as well.

It's still going strong, but I do have my eye on other technologies and am making sure I don't become a dinosaur.

I didn't say that. But taking away the option to explicitly tell the OS to stop nagging me is still a user-hostile move.

So, you are saying that all 32-bit software is by definition “dodgy”? But let's break it off here since I realize that disagreeing with you may not seem smart.
Not at all, as you can see from the release notes.

You just need to go checking every now and then the gerrit AOSP checkins, they cherry pick stuff from OpenJDK, every version gets a little piece.

Then they use this half baked support to sell Kotlin versus Java, and cleverly never compare Kotlin to the actual Java versions.
Mistakes happen, highly available systems fail, being enraged and demanding heads isn't going to make anyone happy but just scared. A full investigation is probably going to happen and steps will be taken to make sure this doesn't happen again but it's hard to blame it on a particular individual. Ideally you'd have steps such that one person alone can't screw up and it also requires other people to let that happen.
Specifically the revenue that won't come back once the website is back online.
That seems to be the exact opposite of their stated policy position on CDA 230[0]. I don't see anything about how they support private sites losing protections for removing speech hosted on the platform. Do you have a source for your claims?

[0] https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230.
After typing it more times than I could really care for, I now see it as Python spiting people who have experience with functional programming.
I see a lot of people asking "wouldn't stripping section 230 protections create more censorship on the platform?" That is the point. Shifting all liability to Twitter would effectively kill the platform as there is no way, even with the most sophisticated methods available, to police a platform of that size to the point where the liability is acceptable.
For sure, just napkin math for fun. Also, I believe that number includes revenue from non-amazon.com sources (like AWS).
Looks wonderful! Anyway to get it to only draw the annotation once? Looks like everything gets two passes which adds to the roughness but also adds a bit of noise and delay to the animation.
Yes, this feels very familiar. I find myself energized, outgoing, dynamic, etc around strangers, and then reliving the conversations over and over in my head days later when the energy is gone. I've got one or two great friends who I feel truly comfortable with, and so I have to rely a lot on them for my "extroversion."
I think I may be missing the point of what the article is getting at with API-as-a-marketplace versus traditional API marketplaces.

I think even after reading the article and looking at some of the examples, I'm confused at what's being talked about here, and some of the additional concerns that would arise with something like wearbles.

It seems like API-as-a-marketplace are providing services where an Instagram-like company could add the "Instagram shops" section right into their application as opposed to have to make a separate shop and checkout process?
He would spin up a White House version. In fact, I'm extremely surprised the White House, or conservatives in general, haven't spun up something like that. Don't even mention GAB, that's a platform that's become worse than 4Chan.

It was in hurry actually but the idea is to have it for all religions. Since most of our contributors were from the particular religion we started of with that.
> The great irony is that if you strip a company of their section 230 protections, doesn't that just mean that they're going to censor more things on their platform since they're now liable? Why wouldn't they remove Trump from Twitter entirely if they could be held liable for his rants?

Please, oh please, don't throw me in the briar patch!
I just canceled HBO Max ... there's not much there and I cant watch it on my Roku TVs.

Compare Disney Plus's launch with any streaming product ATT launches is day and night. One is all about the consumer experience while the other is all about penny pinching and tons of red tape/too many cooks in the kitchen. They already destroyed Direct TV with their stupidity next is HBO.
