And perhaps most significantly of all, people with the disease in outbreak areas aren't travelling to Sweden in large numbers like they were to the UK before it was forced into aborting the 'Swedish strategy'. The other side of that coin is that Sweden isn't forecasting better economic performance this year than the countries which had bailouts.
The picture here is unclear. Public news interviewed several dozen doctors across hospitals in Stockholm. Some of them had the impression that they were preemptively turning patients away from intensive care units, but a substantial fraction of doctors also said that these are patients that wouldn’t have been put there under normal circumstances either. I think the truth is somewhere inbetween, but it’s clear that there hasn’t been the deluge of severe cases observed out of southern Europe.

A native application is a stand-alone, non-electron application whose entire stack (runtime, business logic, data engine, and information store) resides on the user’s machine.

‘Hosted’, to me at least, means that you’ve got an augmented web server somewhere on your intranet that you connect to, and that displays its interface through a browser on the user’s machine.

The two terms are mutually exclusive, in my understanding (except of course when one is speaking explicitly of “hosting a web server”, but I’m sure you catch my drift).

> But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day.

As long as people keep getting this so badly wrong the problem, whatever it is, is never going to be fixed. Really I just call on people to stop using the wrong language and try to articulate detectable problems.

If you look out the window of your car (or house) and see homeless people (or mobs) - that isn't inequality. If all the homeless people had houses or all the mobers a comfortable life, the amount of inequality would be about the same as it is now. Inequality as measured is all but undetectable in the real world. I have no idea how unequal I am to the people who I see every day - and none of my readers on HN do either unless they've spent a few hours poring over some very dry statistical compendiums.

The problem is much more likely that the link between productive work and reward has been completely severed for more than 40 years [0]. If being productive reliably led to being rewarded there would be many less problems. The people being rewarded aren't the people who are producing results.

You modern hipster
It is very common for compilers to be tested using client code. It is a practice that goes back decades.

Nowadays with so many open source projects and so much distributed computer power, it is even easier.
This is a cute little gesture, but it is ultimately bound to fail.

The root cause of the problem of poverty for minorities, is far beyond the scope that this idea can even solve.

We effectively need a reset in our capitalistic system.

For far too long, we have used GDP as the measure of wealth of a country. But we now live in a world, where money essentially has no bounds to reality anymore. It is tied to nothing, but it is the driver of everything.

The Fed and other central banks, are used to print money out of thin air, and give it to banks, to lend out, or to buy back loans from corporations.

People blindly believe that this will not cause inflation, but instead, it drives up asset inflation, which drives up the cost of everything else. This is the hidden inflation, that takes money out of your pocket, and is beyond your control.

This is where the government needs to step in and put in policies to protect the people.

Instead of GDP, we need to measure QOL, or the Quality of Life.

This is the measure of how well the median person’s quality of life is, in terms of how much they earn, and how much their rent and mortgage is. As well as other factors like, access to modern basic necessities: electricity, shelter, clothing, healthcare, transportation, communication, and food.

No person, should be required to spend over 50% of their income on housing. There is just no money left over afterwards to pay for anything else. You will forever be, bound to a life of poverty and destitution, as well as your children.

Additionally, we need to remove housing as an investment vehicle. Instead of creating wealth for all, this has become the driver of massive inequality.

Housing needs to be for people to live in, and not for speculation. The government should mandate the building of more housing, to increase availability, and to drive down costs. And people should be able to afford and own their own homes. And maybe to kickstart a post-industrial society, the government should back the mortgage, where you just need to work a meaningful job in society, for 20 years, and the house is yours. The government will pick up the remaining tab on the house afterwards.

This will give you a home, and the security you need to be safe and whole. You can raise your family and your children, without the fear of poverty, or crime, or a lifetime servitude of debt.

And for things like food, the vegetables and fruits, can be grown in massive automated vertical farms. And one day, tended to by robots, for monitoring and harvesting. No more need for back breaking labor performed by humans. Let the robots do all the work. The software for it will be developed by programmers, and the fruits and vegetables will be monitored by using adaptive machine learning software.

These are bold challenges, and we need bold leaders to think beyond their myopic economic view of the world, where they only think of enriching themselves and their cronies, and actually do their job to govern, and to lead and guide the people.

J is a general-purpose language. It is oriented toward math and data handling far more than K.

Speed relative to K, for example, is largely dependent upon what operators are used, with what size and shape of data. Certain operations in J are highly optimized, comparable to C (or exceeding) what you'd find in matrix math libraries.
Global supply-chain effects of Covid-19 control measures
I'm all in favor of disarming the police. If they need a gun, they can call it in. However, a city like LA would be nuts without cops, if anything there should be more. The situation on the street is not safe without some authority patrolling and making sure people don't get rowdy and heated; there are just too many people out of their mind on meth. I've seen someone get pushed and yelled at on the expo line for making eye contact with another dude who was tweaking on something, the confrontation ended when the victim pulled a knife on the guy and backed up to the other side of the train car.

In addition to Belgium (833 dead per million), United Kingdom (597), Spain (580) and Italy (556) have higher death rates than Sweden (446). France is close behind (432).

And we don't know exactly why Sweden are hit the way it is. The exact week (February 24th to Mars 1st) where the schools in Stockholm had a winter break was the worse possible time for getting the virus back from Italy and the Alps. E.g. Gothenburg which winter break was two weeks earlier wasn't nearly as badly hit. There are just too many variables to assign any clear causes and effects yet.
Wait a year for 75% of people having spent 3 weeks on mechanical ventilation in other countries to die from complications, and only then will we be able to really evaluate deaths and costs...

In rural areas the population is already armed, even for the purpose of hunting and protecting the farms from animals damaging crops and livestock. If I read the numbers correctly the state with the least regulated gun policies is the second most safe in USA.

Also Trump supporters don't equal Pro 2A. Most of my USA based colleagues are Pro 2A, including the Biden supporters, and most are not Trump fans.

Also most people that I know with gun permits in my country (extremely rare) are more knowledgeable on laws than most policemen; same for gun training, we do train policemen in the range and we see that.

In a neighborhood where people are armed there is no need to patrol on the streets. Guess what is the place around the gun range that is never robbed? The gun range. People don't take risks, they pick the easy targets, gun-free zones are perfect targets for people that ignore the laws.
Voice Controlled Lights with a Raspberry Pi
The ford story is a myth. A fairy tale told by investors to their children whom they want to grow up to become successful venture capitalists. He raised wages to:

* Deal with worker turnover (Jeff Bezos did this too)

* Gain more social control over his workers (he had a thing for good/clean/christian/nuclear family living and he wanted a remuneration policy that would let him enforce that).

* To poke some of his shareholders in the eye (whom he'd had fallings out with).

* Pour cold water over incipient unionization (Jeff Bezos also did this one recently).

The oft repeated idea that our media likes to promulgate that it was a grand, magnanimous gesture done for selfless reasons (by a virulent antisemite no less) is not only untrue, it's the exact opposite of true - there had to be four really solid reasons to jack up wages before Henry Ford had his arm twisted into doing it.

This is the kind of behavior that I expect to see widely across America if we rely on random citizens to patrol instead of police. He was told by 911 to stay in his car, but instead he got out and shot Treyvon in supposed "self defense".
You're pretending that the economic dislocations are do to measures to combate the virus instead of the virus killing people. Countries that acted swiftly and forcefully are returning to normal right now. While countries that are handling the way you want are seeing no end to this. Meaning you are 180 degrees wrong, your way kills people from the virus. You way kills people via extended economic dislocation.
It is worth noting so, that of all western style democracies only the US has the kind of problems with police violence. Not saying other countries don't have police violence, but not even close to the degree the US has.

So instead of looking at alternative societies in Syria, how about looking at European countries and the way they are policing? Or Canada?
No problem, I was just wondering if I missed something.

Huh, my ISP is Init7 and as I said, takes 25 steps to get there, though steps 18-24 inclusive show as "waiting for reply" in MTR.

Init7's traceroute [0] shows 5 fewer steps to r1lon2.core.init7.net than my traceroute though and appears to route through r1bsl1 (assuming Basel) instead of Frankfurt.

Perhaps you're in/near Basel and so skip straight to London, circumventing my 8 hops around Zurich?

Not really. This is widely believed but attempts to rigorously study that end up finding no evidence for it.

Interesting that you picked Rwanda. The go-to example for the dangers of free speech is normally the Nazis. For instance I'm thinking of a study that attempted to correlate growth in support for Hitler with availability of his speechs on radio or via rallies. It found IIRC no correlation at all.

In fact Hitler was regularly censored, deplatformed and so on yet it didn't stop him, only perhaps slow him down a bit. On the other hand he spent vast efforts on suppressing, censoring, vote stuffing and de-platforming in various nasty ways anyone who spoke out against him - all managed entirely privately via his various organisations, whilst the weak Weimar Republic were unable to stop him.

Dictators are invariably big fans of suppressing free speech, because they know censorship works in favour of whoever is in power. The reason democracy and free speech are so tightly connected is because in a democracy the people in power aren't meant to be able to do anything to stay in power beyond winning the approval of their citizens.
Thank you for posting this! I was not aware of Notcurses, I just started using Ncurses for an emulator hobby project, will be an interesting read :)
Would there be any recourse, possibly in court?

I can't imagine that response passing muster in court, because as another commenter pointed out, all damage would involve some kind of collision between two objects which means that if we accept their response then the policy would be worthless because it wouldn't be able to cover anything.

It's implied (in the context of motor vehicle insurance) that "collision" in their case means collision between two vehicles but they're now trying to be pedantic about it when it's in their favor.
q is k with all of the monadic verbs being replaced by English words: `+` is `flip`, `=` is `group`, `-` is `neg`, and so on. It also has q-sql, a SQL like sublanguage for conveniently working with tables. k has the verbs that implement it, but they're not really as convenient.

> 18.1m people came in and out of the UK between January and March in the UK -- nearly twice the entire population of Sweden. What was optimal for Sweden would never have been optimal for others.

Yep. This is critical. The UK originally wanted to follow the Swedish strategy, but it was a disastrous failure that left us with the highest per capita excess death rates in the world, only brought under control by lockdown.

Sweden was somewhat more isolated hence the initial growth of the disease was slower, and was considerably more isolated over everybody else's lockdown period.

Dutch uses standard QWERTY, but does accents and tremas automatically if you type a letter that can have an accent/trema after you type a single or double quote, or a tilde. It's extremely annoying when programming.

US International keyboard layout does this to in Windows. It seems the only type of keyboard that doesn't do it is the standard US keyboard, but that one doesn't have a Euro sign. I'd like to have a board with a Euro sign, but without messing up my quotes.

What would be ideal for me is if I could type alt+quote to make it an accent over the next letter. Or even better, the latex way: \'e.

I would love to know how to customise this in various OSs. I suppose it should be possible.
I'm likely out of touch here, but at least for the person mentioned in the article, why does he need a huge SUV? If the crisis hits and you cannot re-pay the bills, that would be the first thing I'd get rid of. It doesn't look like he needs it for work, and he could just get away with a used Honda Civic or a similar smaller car that doesn't require much gas, expensive insurance, and most importantly monthly loan payments.

During the last financial crisis I sold lots of stuff that was dear to my heart but wasn't essential like motorbike, mtb, etc.

Is it the cultural gap that I'm not seeing as a European? Or something else?

I didn't leave anything out. Read it again. But it is interesting how your reply is full of problems that are easily solved without inconveniencing the majority of society (the majority being under the age of 42).

Similarly the denominator game won't save you because I can do maths. Do the numbers again with the population total in that age range.

Then compare that to the chance of dying on the operating table if you opt to have surgery.

Then remember I'm in that age range and have assessed the risk.

I have followed the news in Sweden quite closely. I have never heard Anders Tegnell or anyone else från FHM say that they believe any significant herd immunity is close or anything they are trying to achieve.

> and will France be able to keep functioning under strict lockdown for all those months?

France has already lifted many of their lockdown restrictions.

> Assuming we'll all contract COVID-19 anyway, eventually,

That's a big assumption, and not necessarily correct.

First, we won't all get it - herd immunity means infection rates max out at something like 60% to 90% of the population. I understand this maximum is to some extent a function of how fast your infection rates rise due to a sort of momentum effect.

Second, we may be able to suppress maximum infections indefinitely (or until we get a vaccine or treatment) with tracing, local lockdowns and so on. It's not clear if this is an effective long-term strategy, and is disputed by some epidemiologists, but seems to be the leading preferred strategy by most experts.

> it makes little sense to adopt strong restrictive measures on personal liberty to slow the spread down to a crawl

The problem is that you can't really adopt half measures. That's linear thinking, and it's an exponential curve. You either keep the reproduction rate above 1 or below 1. Above 1 you get an accelerating increase and eventually overwhelmed hospitals. Below 1 your infection rates start halving.

Luckily, the measures required for keeping R<1 don't seem to be too intolerable. Spain, Italy, France etc. have managed to squash their epidemics and are getting close to having something like normal society back.
> In Europe: WhatsApp, no one uses SMS anymore

That's not true, it may be true for some parts of Europe, but other countries had free or extremely cheap SMS before WhatsApp even existed.

Depending on where you are in Europe SMS may still be vastly more popular than WhatsApp. It also depends on the audience. Most of my family still use SMS. Technically it's iMessage but they don't know the difference, and they certainly don't care how messages are transferred. The build in messaging app is what is used.

Personally I've seen WhatApp installed only by people who have a large number of friends in eastern European countries.

Edit: Just to be clear, Denmark have had the one of the most competitive markets for cellular in the world for the past 20 years. Prices have been driven ever downwards for the last 15 year. So calls and sms have almost always been cheap.

That is not what was being said - they said that they personally value the lives of their own parents more than the life of someone else's child; this in the context of someone trying to argue that the life of a 1 year old is inherently more valuable than the life of a 60 year old because the 1 year old can expect 79 more years of life, while the 60 year old can only expect 20 more.

And otherwise, assume there is a fire and you are in the middle of a corridor. On one end there is your mother, on the other there is some 1 year old you don't know in any way. Which would you rush to save first? I know I would rush to save my mother before the 1 year old.
