> There never was a policy about the WHO.

"Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy." - YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki

> To my knowledge no video was ever removed because of a conflict with the WHO.

"Sharyl Attkisson, host of the nationally syndicated news magazine TV show "Full Measure" had her story about "politicizing COVID-19 medicine" pulled by YouTube, because the video service deemed it 'dangerous.' The issue was that one doctor said that hydroxychloroquine still needed to be studied."

I don't believe Nix is Turing complete, unless you include ability of running python or bash script.

Regarding the rest of your first paragraph, that's essentially what I said, you can write side effect free code in python, but it's so easy to introduce side effects if you're not paying attention.

I'm saying though that nix language isn't the hard part about nix, but perhaps you're right and it is one extra difficulty that just makes things harder.

But take a look at most o Nix derivations, majority of them end up being just an attribute set (aka dictionary, map etc in other languages)

Take look at https://nixos.org page (they changed it after this submission was posted, and it is better than the old page at showing what Nix can do)
> You do realize that the whole reason we're discussing this retraction is because the scientific community did discuss its validity?

This is the type of “Only the experts can decide for us... attitude that people are fed up with. A cabal of experts should not get to decide which theories I want to read about by simply labeling them as wrong or crack pot conspiracies.
High praise indeed! Can you provide a source for it? It would be nice to be able to cite it.
> We don’t have full employment because the Fed is failing its mandate.

The Fed has a dual mandate; employment promotion and inflation management. To the extent that the tools they have, which are limited, are insufficient to adequately promote employment while managing inflation, doing more for employment is what Congress and it's broader power of fiscal poki g setting is for.

Admittedly, Congress—most specifically the Senate—is asleep at the switch, but that's not the Fed’s fault.
>It sort of feels like that now. Lots of normality still. There is definitely something not right about the stock market not feeling the impact of millions of unemployed and more than half of retail stores missing rent payments.

Not saying their right but Wall St. types will tell you the market has already priced the pandemic and current unemployment numbers in and is forward looking.

Ok, we've put three authors in the HN title to reflect that.
I use "sort | uniq -c" all the time, but I find it annoying that it does it in worse-than-linear time. It gets super slow every time I accidentally pass it a large input.

At that point I usually fall back to "awk '{ xs[$0]++ } END { for (x in xs) print xs[x], x }'", but it's quite long and awkward to type, so I don't do it by default every time.

At some point I'll add an alias or a script to do this. One day.

edit: OK I finally did it; it's literally been on my to-do list for about 10 years now, so thanks :)

The Enron scandal lasted for 10 years and was only exposed by outsiders. This paper was questioned by other scientists from the very first day, and now has been retracted by the authors themselves after barely lasting 10 days. It's not at all comparable.
Yes, but many of those researchers rely upon tools supplied by the oligopoly to communicate.

Plandemic is probably a stupid movie. I haven't seen it, so I cannot judge. Regardless, it has been scrubbed from Google Drive accounts by the powers that be!

Misinformation about coronavirus finds new avenues on unexpected sites (WaPo)

What kind of automated or intentional interference might researchers face in the future when Google or Facebook has already decided on the facts?

P.S. The crazy thing about the Plandemic take down is that it is driven by someone trying to license their content removal patent to the oligopoly. The WaPo reporter never even bothered to research that, or if she did, she didn't disclose that fact in her article! Another hidden business interest.

Sadly, gas stations remain heavily regulated in many parts of the world when in reality they should not be treated much differently from say a bakery or restaurant.

What Germany has done here is bit comparable to say forcing a burger joint to offer vegan options or a juice joint to serve alcohol for no reason other than pandering to the niche users.

Gas stations might not even be ideal providers of charging stations, other business such as restaurants, malls, salons, etc. where people spend a lot of time are more better suited to provide charging stations and in fact they already do.

This sort of government coercion is another reason why I think electric car ownership or general move to cleaner fuels will be seen with skepticism by many people like me.
They have their own accreditation for .COM/.NET/.ORG/.INFO/.CA (and maybe a few others) else they fallback to Tucows OpenSRS system, which is decent except in the case of needing advanced features like DNSSEC (for certain TLDs) where they seemingly have a "Half Life 3" type schedule of deploying new features

I love your service, I use it every day. :)

I find that a lot of phishing sites these days are hosted on legitimate sites that have been backdoored, but are continuing to operate as normal.

The phishing page is hidden away in the /.well-known/ directory or another similar one, so the website owner is non-the-wiser.
>So in the end, we will have experienced a lot of economic pain for not that much benefit.

This is very US-centric. Our lockdown was more or less completely useless, it wasn't enforced and case numbers continue to rise while in much of Europe they appear to have worked exactly as intended.
This site is a great resource. Do people have recommendations for other similar cinephile sites like this?
Gas powered tractors were a life changing upgrade over horse and ox drawn plows. Electric is, in comparison, a very minor change for daily living.

It is also a downgrade for long haul trips, depending on how long of breaks you take while driving.

That being said, I might buy an electric truck to replace my work truck once I can afford it.
The main motif of the article is that the cops had nothing to do with lowering crime under Giuliani and that their apparent withdrawal after many years of tough policing didn't cause any resurgence.

I'd say standard of proof is rather low either way.
How are they planning to decide which outlet is state-owned ?
Friend-of-Putin Times will happily represent that it is 100% privately owned company that is privately owned by someone who just happens be good friends with Putin.
There is no small gas stations in Western Europe, only networks, franchises and supermarkets.

With such a big range, we don’t need a lot of gas stations anymore (it’s more like the square term in the coverage of an area makes the number of gas stations extremely sensitive to the average range, but long story short, we need less and less of them)
>(1) everything is text

>(2) everything (ish) is a file

I'm having a moment. I have to get logs out of AWS, the thing is frustrating to no end. There's a stream, it goes somewhere, it can be written to S3, topics and queues, but it's not like I can jack it to a huge file or many little files and run text processing filters on it. Am I stupid, behind the times, tied to a dead model, just don't get it? There's no "landing" anywhere that I can examine things directly. I miss the accessibility of basic units which I can examine and do things to with simple tools.
Think about it. Everyone you talk to is saying exactly what you’re saying. Do you really believe that you have insight that a hedge fund worth billions of dollars does not? Do you think they didn’t already think about this before the rebound even happened? Chances are very good that they understand this situation on a level that most do not. They are driving this rebound, not unsophisticated retail investors. Bearish investors will sit on the sidelines and miss out on potential gains or will go short and lose their money. The rich will get richer. Rinse and repeat.

I can tell you when the market will crash. It’s when you and everyone you know are convinced that your bearish intuition is wrong. That wont happen for some time.

Police are already required to show their badge numbers.

However many police in many jurisdictions have taken to obscuring and covering their badge numbers, so you can't file a complaint.

In NYPD officers were(are?) "commemorating the officers who have fallen to coronavirus". Their commemoration? a single strip of black tape over their badge number.

In DC and elsewhere there are unmarked, non-standard officers, that are not saying even which government department they represent.

This is specifically to ensure that there is no accountability.
You're making a general point about a specific company. Look at the history of Apple, what it says, how it acts, and how that has changed or not over the past 44 years.

It's always possible to conjure up the hundreds of ways businesses can fail, but I don't think it adds anything meaningful to the issue at hand.
Would be good to see an "adjusted" version that keeps all other deaths at a level that would be most likely correct, and those deaths transferred to covid deaths, perhaps in a different colour
You could have read the paper yourself 10 days ago to find the flaws. You could have read the public discussions where scientists questioned the paper. You could have read the published "Expression of Concern" in the Lancet yesterday. You can read the retraction notice today. What exactly are you missing?
Ask HN: The Trend of Lightweight Virtualization?
Lightweight virtualization has been developing over recent years. There are a lot of new runtimes and VMMs have been introduced such as kata containers, ignite, firecracker, and cloud hypervisor.

However, it seems like these lightweight virtualizations are just pretty much the same as managing Qemu/KVM VMs using docker and/or Kubernetes. Does anyone have some insight of the possible future of this area? What could be the final outcome of this area with the convergence of these techniques?

Thanks

Military spending and tax breaks don't contribute to the deficit. Those are investments in the future. /s
Let me take this tech-platform-speech train of thought into a recent area that may be super-downvotable (oh well!).

Trump was fact checked by Twitter a few weeks ago for claiming mail in ballots are linked to voter fraud [1]. In reality, there have been several hundred cases of mail in voter fraud, though certainly the convicted cases are rare on a percentage basis (though actual cases are unknown).[2]

Many thousands are today posting about how black people are being continuously killed by police, but yet no Twitter fact checks. In reality, just 10 unarmed black men were killed by the police last year.[3]

Can anyone here imagine Twitter putting up a fact check saying "Misrepresentation/exaggeration: Only 10 unarmed black men were killed by police last year"?

Is it just a coincidence that Twitter is a company who's employees lean heavily left and their policies also lean heavily left? What would a conservatively run Twitter look like with fact checks, and would you be comfortable with that?

Need to clarify (for those harsh to judge) that I am in no way comparing the severity or tragic nature of fraud vs killing, just Twitter's response to various facts on its platform.
> If the top scientists from well-funded teams came up with estimates that were so wildly off, I'm not sure why we have any hope of getting these things right.

I think there's a lot of confusion from the general public about how to evaluate models. A modeling being "correct" is sometimes not possible, and useful, sometimes a model has to be used instead to reduce uncertainty, not to exactly predict X amount of cases in Y amount of time. There's just so much randomness in systems that prevent accuracy in predictions.
How did you conclude it's not clear enough? Is there any actual person under impression that when they get their phone fixed for $50 it's using original parts in mint new condition? Because if such people exist, I've never met them.
Why not stick to the topic at hand, rather than trying to hijack the discussion?
Mine as well. I do hope the reports saying outdoor spread is unlikely are correct becaust the protests seem to be ideal superspreader events. Hot sweaty people packed into enormous crowds coughing because of tear gas and smoke? Thankfully some people are wearing masks but it's almost a worst case scenario.
This seems more like theatrics than any kind of reform. Did the issues around the 2016 election involve foreign state run media?
Having lived in NYC, I'm amazed at the level of restraint they've been showing over the last two weeks. They're taking a vicious beating and really pretty much holding fire. Not sure I agree with that strategy, but you have to respect their discipline.

Wild horses couldn't get me to do that job.
Dan Ingalls talks about Notetaker/Smalltalk-78 in his forthcoming HOPL 4 paper which should be available within the next two weeks.

There were only a few Notetaker machines built and apparently they were quite slow and not really very useful. But the Notetaker image and VM was also ported to the Dorado. In 1979-80 that was the primary version that was being used within the LRG and was used as the starting point for creating Smalltalk-80.

In my article is a link to the the invitation letter to Tektronix to participate in the Smalltalk-80 dissemination processed. In it they said: "We estimate about one work year for a very expert systems programmer to implement the microcode for the virtual machine and implement the i/o primitives." In the following discussions and visits they only showed us and talked about the microcoded Dorado and Dolphin implementations. They we repeated said words to the effect of "We want you to design a computer to run Smalltalk". LRG was quite secretive about some things and I don't think I had ever heard of Notetaker until 1993 when I read Alan's HOPL-2 paper.

One interesting thing I recently learned from Dan was that NoteTaker used a linear stack with overlapping activation records. This was dropped for the Dorado implementation and Smalltalk-80. That was unfortunate as the overhead of heap allocated stack frames was one of the major performance bottlenecks when implementing Smalltalk-80 on conventional processors. It took those of us doing such implementations a couple years to develop techniques for "cheating without getting caught" while using hidden linear stacks. In retrospect, the poor performance of Smalltalk-80's heap allocated activation contexts in combination with reference counting significantly delayed the viability of microprocessor based Smalltalk-80 implementations.
it looks like it can:

specifically, data rendered as an html table that is then "transformed" in javascript.

if I'm reading the example correctly, then this is how to have progressive enhancement with this module.
Yeah, but that makes every single file an object. Then you need plugins to deal with plain text objects, plugins to deal with every single type of object and their versions.

Objects aren't human readable and if they get corrupted the object's format is very difficult to recover, you need an intimate knowledge of both the specific format used (of which there might be thousands of variations). Plaintext, however, if that gets corrupted it's human-readable. The data might not be more compact (Although TSV files tend to come out equal), but it's more robust against those kinds of changes.

Have you ever examined a protobuf file without knowing what the protobuf structure is? I have, as part of various reverse-engineering I did. It's a nightmare, and without documentation (That's frequently out of date or nonexistent) it's almost impossible to figure out what the data actually is, and you never know if you've got it right. Even having part of the recovered data, I can't figure out what the rest of it is.
Well it ain't for nothing that New Zealand is Mossad's favourite fake passport when assassinating Palestinians in foreign countries. Probably other factors as well tho.

to answer this question we have to ask what smart even means.

if it means you can "figure stuff out at work" congrats, you can follow instructions in a structured, specialist environment.

to become legitimately "rich", however, in most cases you have to own part of a business.

and in the world of entrepreneurship, you have to be much more of a generalist, as there are 10 different factors (sales, product, timing, pricing) you must all get right.

I can virtually guarantee you the best person at math in the world is not rich, because they have gone full specialist to get to that point, and therefore cannot succeed outside of an extremely structured environment.

"Range, Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World" by David Epstein is a great book on this topic.

Unless the BBC is grossly misrepresenting the statements, it is not "someone senior" but the CEO, and the BBC quotes “Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy.” [1]

> “There is a growing mountain of research. But there is increased evidence that we are being bogged down today as specialization extends. The investigator is staggered by the findings and conclusions of thousands of other workers—conclusions which he cannot find time to grasp, much less to remember, as they appear.”

> “The difficulty seems to be, not so much that we publish unduly in view of the extent and variety of present day interests, but rather that publication has been extended far beyond our present ability to make real use of the record. The summation of human experience is being expanded at a prodigious rate, and the means we use for threading through the consequent maze to the momentarily important item is the same as was used in the days of square-rigged ships.”

All I can offer in response is vague, hand-wavy speculation about human perceptive and cognitive limitations and how this impacts scientific representations. Coming from a biology background, I'm very used to artistic license and gross oversimplifications - and from years of habit, it almost hurts my brain to think about molecules as anything other than chicken-wire! From your complaint about those representations, I'm guessing you're unfamiliar with "Richardson ribbons": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_diagram

Even the developers of these visualizations would probably agree that it's dangerous to rely on them too much, and they are only a way to convey specific information in a way our eyes and brain can quickly process. Crystallographers in particular tended to over-rely on those chicken wire views and that plus software limitations yielded a lot of very poor-quality structures with poor atomic packing. The developer of those ribbon diagrams (Jane Richardson) has done a lot of other work to educate the field about how to visualize packing and other molecular properties and avoid screwing up the analysis. Over the long term, I think constant self-criticism makes up for the occasional sloppiness in scientific research.
By that measure most of Silicon Valley is not “rewarding”. While reasonable people can debate HFT’s benefit to society and resource use, how does HFT raise barriers of entry to markets?
That is just a small, singular quote for the press and not necessarily a fully fleshed explanation of the policy.
That may be Republicans' fear (I don't think it is, but for the sake of argument.)

I doubt any Republican using that argument can point to a portion of the Constitution that says "less informed citizens can be arbitrarily denied their right to vote." And they can't because the Constitution is pretty clear that every citizen has the right to vote (excepting with due process) without qualification.
