This area meaning "scientific topics on health".

Quote:

It may seem more problematic to speak of the bias of scientific articles, because many people do not want to see “unscientific” views covered in encyclopedia articles. If such articles are “biased in favor of science,” some people naturally find that to be a feature, not a bug. The problem, though, is that scientists sometimes do not agree on which theories are and are not scientific. On such issues, the “scientific point of view” and the “objective point of view” according to the Establishment might be very much opposed to neutrality. So when the Establishment seems unified on a certain view of a scientific controversy, then that is the view that is taken for granted, and often aggressively asserted, by Wikipedia.

The global warming and MMR vaccine articles are examples; I hardly need to dive into these pages, since it is quite enough to say that they endorse definite positions that scientific minorities reject. Another example is how Wikipedia treats various topics in alternative medicine—often dismissively, and frequently labeled as “pseudoscience” in Wikipedia’s own voice. Indeed, Wikipedia defines the very term as follows: “Alternative medicine describes any practice that aims to achieve the healing effects of medicine, but which lacks biological plausibility and is untested, untestable or proven ineffective.” In all these cases, genuine neutrality requires a different sort of treatment.

Again, other examples could be found, in no doubt thousands of other, perfectly unexciting topics. These are just the first topics that came to mind, associated as they are with the culture wars, and their articles on those topics put Wikipedia very decidedly on one side of that war. You should not be able to say that about an encyclopedia that claims to be neutral.
I am sorry but that does not make sense.
The fans like this I've seen are powered by TEGs, just like the article is talking about. So, yes, but there is a trade-off. For those familiar with ICE engines, I'd compare it to the trade-off of a turbo/super charger.

This is a horrible take.
Looks like the link is broken in the article, but looks like it is this one: https://publicinterestlegal.org/files/Mail-Voting-2012_2018-...

That's quite a jump from 'broken link' => 'must be propaganda'.

Rebuttals should be analyzed just like the target of the rebuttal. Just as you say the original article should not be taken as gospel, the rebuttal should not be taken as gospel either. The author's accounting of the 28M votes breaks down into 2 categories:

1. 12M voluntarily not cast from the 3 states that auto-send to every registered voter. The author arrives at this calculation by taking an average vote percentage of those states, and applying it to the mail ballots. You can't just apply general vote rate to the mail ballots, then further assume the EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 12M remaining vote was due to people just not bothering to vote. Baked into the author's calculation is that none of the mail ballots in those 3 states could have been involved in fraud...

2. 16M (building on the previous flawed calculation) the author just assumes were people who manually requested the mail ballot, but just decided not to send it in. Why? because there were a total 120M mail ballots sent and 16M / 120M amounts to 13% not voting, which is way lower than general population 50% not voting. This is an assertion with no evidence, and we would expect the percentage of people who do not vote when they MANUALLY request a mail ballot to be much lower anyways. Even a fraction of 16M should raise eyebrows.

So as I understand it, the author's calculations are very hand-wavy and unjustified. But you say this is a 'clear' rebuttal. Can you share how you interpreted the article?
Ultimately though this end probably would have been better served by bytecode.
A bit later they run the tape back frame by frame and determined the fire definitely didn't come from the flare stack. (Though in realtime it happens so fast they weren't sure.)
Since you asked
>"... I wonder how other countries perceive the US..."

Well, recently spoke to somebody in Canada.

They are so happy to see a world class leader, US President Trump fighting the western form of Thought police and the obamagate propaganda arm (Twitter leadership).

They are also relieved to learn that US, finally, withdraws funding from China's health propaganda ministry (WHO).

They are also embarrassed of Trudeau.

I guess they represent minority in Canada, since Trudeau was re-elected (or elections there, were interfered in, and influenced by China).
They did not see the problem as a black and white problem with two active solutions. They took a third option: they did nothing until public opinion had shifted and Rock Hudson, Reagan's personal friend, died of the disease.

They. did. nothing.
Semi-related: Thinking about this era I wondered how long it look for AIDS to kill 100,000 Americans. The answer is about 5 years. CoViD did it in 5 months.
Are there any quality implementations for Java or .NET VMs? One would think that this is the easiest way to get a high-quality GC today. And both ecosystems have some special sauce in them for dynamically typed languages - DLR in .NET, and I'm not sure if there's a single brand for that in Java land, but they've been busy adding features for the likes of JRuby for a while now.
I honestly don't know, I'm several hops away from the source, but when my wife told me it sounded like they could have saved the baby had they known.
It was worse than that. They laughed and made jokes while they did nothing [1].

Nonsense. Everything is controlled de jure by "world governments" as it is. Certainly the WebPKI CAs are.
>There's a Canadian film on Youtube that covers this.

Yeah it was a major scandal here in Canada. The Red Cross lost the right to handle blood a new organization called Canadian Blood Services was created.

Many people with hemophilia died but I think people at the tail end of it were around when the new drug cocktails slowed the disease.

As a teen in the 80s AIDS was pretty scary even for a straight kid with no girlfriend. It seemed like everyone was talking about it, getting it, scared of people with it, or denying it existed.

Anthony Fauci had a hard time getting Pres. Reagan to even take it seriously (sound familiar!?). Many conservatives saw it as the "gay disease" and dismissed it as irrelevant.
Washingtons Covid outbreak may have begun later than thought
I was class of 1986, graduated 1988 (though TBF I had a full time job in another part of the country for my last two years so taking classes was...complicated).

This is undergrads, I know of a grad student who took 13 years (and three theses he refused to submit) until they handed him a PhD and showed him the door. Obviously in his case he didn't lack brains, just had a longstanding psychological issue.

Even for those who get doctorates, outside a small number of fields (e.g. CS) there's a long, soul-killing gantlet of post docs and RAs before either a position is obtained or you give up.
Ask HN: How does Google know police shooting target's name?
A close friend of mine was recently the target of a fatal police shooting (justified), but his name was never released to the press. However, when I search for his name, the news articles talking about his death are at the top. This seems like a real problem.

EDIT: and exact string match doesn't bring up the AMP pages that report on it. There are no strings in the article pages themselves that mention the name.

It's disturbing that we are being told to learn to live with the virus when there is such a high risk of contraction.
>when you use planes that have a high risk of crash over metropolitan and suburban areas, the human risk multiplies.

Yeah, but it's not a risk to the government. The government is very good at weaseling out of responsibility for killing bystanders with little more than a settlement check. When people acting on behalf of the government get killed then that's when government gets held accountable.
k8s did not invent gitops.
I'm a JS/PHP dev turned C# dev and I really just hate having to touch JS these days. For some internal systems we've needed to do some JS to customize Microsoft's Dynamics 365 platform. I opted to write everything in C# and transpile down to JS via Bridge.NET.

It results in a multi-megabyte JS file, but you know what? My code is clean and organized. I can make use of things like reflection and OOP. I'm honestly very hopeful for Blazor and the future of front end development that isn't so reliant on a language that was really not designed with its current scale in mind.
Some developers just refuse to admit they're are trends in development.

Kubernetes is popular because it's the new 'cool'.

This. We order lots of stuff online, and I'd guess our info has been resold to 3rd parties many times. I provide a PO box whenever possible, but if something is being shipped...
It’s Time to Maintain
That’s how it goes with building something properly large, isn’t it? The speed range on first gear is more narrow than second, and third, and so forth.

I’m just glad SpaceX has the cash flow and team to be able to pursue something as ambitious as BFR. Humans are going to need many thousands of rockets like that one if we are to survive.
I've spent in total a tenth as much time learning k8s and related systems, as I have spent on AWS.

Most situations I have a direct comparison, k8s takes less ops. Often thanks to helm.

The AWS console is designed for lockin and I could use configuration management for AWS too but the time required to go through their way of doing x is just not worth it. Unless I want to become a AWS solutions architect consultant
We edit yaml files everytime we update a service version, which happens multiple times per week? Is there a better way to deal with this?
You are completely wrong. It is trivial to have your k8s control plane and your workload cluster in something like an ASG, and basically know nothing about the nodes in either group. I'm not even using GKS or EKS, just ASGs on AWS. My servers and applications are cattle, not pets.

I knew literally nothing about k8s in September and now I have multiple clusters humming along, treating the worker cluster nodes as a generic pool of compute, autoscaling the cluster as well as the pods inside it. Upgrading is a breeze, I have great observability, I can deploy experiments and new applications with a single CI step or click, in fact I have nodes that are killed and get replaced for cost savings by SpotInst in the middle of the business day and I don't even need to know about it. My load balancers and even DNS are all provisioned for me and I can use the same Helm charts to create an identical staging and production environment.

Kubernetes IS the spirit of the Cloud and 12 factor apps. It's not that scary, and with tools like Rancher and k3s you can make it even simpler.
I remember when Docker and K8 emerged and YAGNI kept everything in perspective. Unless you had a fleet of hundreds of servers to manage and spin-up at a moment's notice you just used Chef, Puppet or Ansible. Now nothing's too small for this ridiculously over-engineered technology. Got a WordPress blog? You're doing it wrong if you don't put it in a Docker container and launch it with K8. Same with a lot of Rails projects for which Capistrano was more than aadequate. Just gotta scratch that itch until you've no more skin left.
When you do an exact match search by putting the name in quotes, does it bring anything? It should bring up content that contains the name and even highlight it.
Theoretically, sure. But Vitess is - as Kubernetes is - provider agnostic.

But if you’re talking about the DB, sure to that too. But, not my decision.
Yeah, i'm not going to go into what makes a country eligible, but there's a clear difference between Crimea that has nothing to do with Britain and a British colony as recent as 23 years ago that had an agreement to keep relatively british levels of freedom for a few more years yet
> the US’s “holistic” college admissions system, with its baffling-to-foreigners emphasis on “character,” “leadership,” “well-roundedness,” etc. rather than test scores, originated in a successful push a century ago by the presidents of Harvard, Princeton, and Yale to keep Jewish enrollments down. Today the system fulfills precisely the same function, except against Asian-Americans rather than Jews.)

"Fulfills" implies it is effective, but enrollment statistics show this to be utterly false: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21130080

It's interesting that a company with a revenue stream can tolerate more failure of declared prototypes more than one without can tolerate operational (if early stage) deployments?
You know how public restrooms in the USA always have paper toilet seat covers? This dates to that era (the product existed already but was extremely uncommon).

Because of that whenever I see those I think of the bigoted attitude that lead to their deployment and won't use them.
This is a very rosy view of what happened.

What actually appeared to happen is that people bought up as much toilet paper (and hand sanitizer etc) they could to resell on craigslist/kijiji at extortionary prices because there is demand inelasticity for these things. Doing this made people panic even more, and even more people got in on the gouging, etc.

Toilet paper started becoming available at stores again pretty much immediately after those sites started cracking down on this practice. There was plenty of supply, it was just being hoarded.

Hell, aggregate demand had not even actually changed. People don't suddenly use more toilet paper in quarantine for no reason.
Yes, and these articles don't show up. There are no strings that point directly to his name in the AMP pages that report on it.
They'll get that hair on you, and you'll never get it off of yourself. Better to leave them well alone.

It shows the challenges of the press to have serious conversations about the disease with the Reagan administration.
The engine stand is elsewhere. In farmland. McCarthy maybe? I can't remember. It's also in Texas. All their Raptors and Merlin's are tested there.
Does there exist a solution that does what kubernetes does but without the complexity?

If such a tool does not exist do any of you feel that the creation of such a tool is within the realm of possibility?

I would imagine all these knobs could have default configurations that 99% of all users would be okay with and that the knob should only be exposed in a small amount of cases.
The difference between some test parts on a stick vs. a full rocket is so vast that I don't think you can make any coherent/interesting comparison of the numbers.

It's like comparing 4 millimeters to 3 inches. It doesn't matter at all that 4 > 3.
I thought the same thing at first, but I doubt very much this will be reported very widely. Despite it being huge in our circles, most people don’t follow this stuff very closely. Unless both SpaceX and NASA are pushing out stories at max volume with included press kits, anything they do will be basically niche at best.

Recall on the FH test flight how the loss of the center core was not announced immediately, and as a result of SpaceX delaying the announcement of the loss by an hour or three, very nearly 100% of the reporting on the topic was about their successful launch and landing of the two (heh) boosters, with no mention whatsoever of the fact that the launch also contained a failure.

An absolutely masterful PR decision, and one I learned a lot from, but also evidence of how fickle, inaccurate/incomplete, and flighty/shallow media attention is. For the vast majority of people and media outlets: nobody really pays attention to rockets in general, especially while the nation is burning/dying/being impoverished. You have to be insanely loud to penetrate that fog.

This isn’t headline news.
> k8s is popular because Docker solved a real problem and Compose didn’t move fast enough to solve orchestration problem. It’s a second order effect; the important thing is Docker’s popularity.

I introduced K8s to our company back in 2016 for this exact reason. All I cared about was managing the applications in our data engineering servers, and Docker solved a real pain point. I chose K8s after looking at Docker Compose and Mesos because it was the best option at the time for what we needed.

K8s has grown more complex since then, and unfortunately, the overhead in managing it has gone up.

K8s can still be used in a limited way to provide simple container hosting, but it's easy to get lost and shoot yourself in the foot.
That is going to be killer latency for people in other parts of the world.

In my case, I work for a CDN, so we need to have data centers all around the world.
I'm just going to not read the article and assume it's because they are fake news.
I was once in a hand to hand struggle with a pit bull that attacked another smaller dog. At least three bystanders took part simultaneously in kicking and punching the pit bull to get it to release the smaller dog.

The only way to dissuade the pit, after what was at least a couple of minutes of this and with the smaller dog being disemboweled, was that I stabbed the pit bull in the neck with my pocket knife.

Their physical power and stubbornness should not be taken for granted.

Both dogs survived the incident.
>I always wonder why Democrats, while in power, don't something about this and other problems that African Americans face?

Do what? Make violent crimes legal?

>It is okay to accuse Republicans for blocking some reforms. Why can't Democrats address systemic injustices when they had numbers?

Those damn Republicans and enforcing rule of law!

Police brutality aside (there needs to be State-level inspectors general), African Americans need to stop commiting crimes at orders of magnitude higher levels than other minority groups.

The poorest ethnic group in NYC (where I live) are Asians (https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58ff7f40e4b0c46f0782a5b6). They still commit orders of magnitude less crimes than blacks (https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/race-crime-and-poli...).
Question for all US hn commenters: Is astrology growing in the US? In France and Germany it seems it is slowly loosing ground... To anthroposophy and Steiner's schools (Steiner was an astrologer). And this sect seems to be growing.
Sounds interesting, but sadly a dead link =(
What’s military cyber security like and how does it compare with consumer or enterprise security? I‘d wager the appeal of cyber security is mostly in the domain of military. Think stuxnet or NSA
The 'edge cases' amount to probably at least hundreds of thousands of people in the US alone. Unless you're saying they're not "people who need toilet paper", dismissing them as outliers not to be worried about is just blatantly cruel.
> The first was to spend billions of dollars hoping to find a cure while certain behaviors continued to spread the virus.

And yet here we are, with governments spending billions of dollars to find a cure when we can stop the spread of COVID-19 by reducing certain behaviors.

The difference in government response to the (ongoing, btw) AIDS crisis and COVID-19 has a hell of a lot to do with the fact that COVID-19 is not seen as a “gay” disease, and is not “othered.”

Having sex is all it takes to get HIV. Once. I won’t sit here and listen to you claim it’s “selfish and destructive behavior” to have sex. Once.

Take your thinly veiled homophobia and moralizing elsewhere please. It’s not a good look, and I don’t want to hear it in my professional community.
Source? You may actually be thinking of the lipid hypothesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_hypothesis) that Ancel Keys developed.

As I gather, we still believe that red meat consumption leads to heart disease, but we're becoming less sure of his hypothesis that the elevated cholesterol resulting from saturated fat (found in red meat) causes heart disease.
Oddly enough, the "fiber optic tap" shown in the article is an extremely mundane component that you can buy out of a catalog. There are two of them in the box, called fiber directional couplers. I used one when I just wanted to combine two colors of lasers for an R&D project.

Needless to say, the stuff that those fibers would go into and out of in that particular application, is way beyond my comprehension.
Nomad + Consul is the happy path. Adding Vault into the mix is nice, but not required.

Consul by itself is the game-changer. Even in k8s it's a game-changer. It solves so many questions in an elegant way.

"How do I find and reach the things running in (orchestrator) with (unknown ip/random port) from (legacy)?" being the most important. You run 5 servers, and a relatively lightweight client on everything (which isn't even outright required, but it sure is useful!), and you get a _lot_ with that.

Consul provides multiple interfaces and ingress points to find everything. It also is super easy to operate, and has a pretty big community.

If you absolutely cannot have Consul, Nomad is still a really good batch job engine, and makes a very great "distributed cron," which is more extensible, scalable, and easy to use than something like Jenkins for the same task.

My team is pretty small (was 4 people, now 6) and we manage one of the worlds largest nomad and consul clusters (there are some truly staggeringly large users of Vault so I won't make that claim). Even when shit really hits the fan, everything is designed in a way that stuff mostly works; and there's enough operator friendly entry points that we can always figure out the problem.
According to this New York Times article from the beginning of May, excess deaths in the United States outpaced official Coronavirus reporting by 33%. This obviously varies significantly by country. Certainly many more people are dying at home than previous years.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/05/us/coronaviru...

The key phrase if you want to learn more is "excess deaths"
Great job, Mr President!

Next: the UN!
Managed K8s is simpler, managed container services like ECS are simpler still.
The bathouse behaviour is still present. I went to a korean spa in nyc with my kids and ran into a group of young men having an orgy in one of the spas which is not private. I was so embarassed, didnt know what to say to my kids, they saw a live scene. We never talked about it.

So, some of that stuborness in behaviour is something rampant in the gay community. They have for example, drug fueled parties and have continuous sex for days. The gay scene is doing itself a disservice by turning a blind eye on this and promoting hypersexuality at the expense of its health. I understand it’s found its freedom recently but they gotta get their shit together

I am not a Reagan appologist and am genetally tolerant of gay or anything that is part of out humanity. Im sure I’ll get downvoted here but I had to say this.
> Elliptic curves are just a scalar private key multiplied with a static point to make a public key

To a lot of people, this will sound like

"Monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors"

Basically, every high school student knows what prime numbers are, what factors are, what exponentiation is, what modulo (remainder) is. A scientific calculator will have all the functions for you to do RSA encryption by hand with small primes.

You need more math courses to understand what it means to multiply a point by a scalar along a curve.
