New Zealand is an island. It knew that it could pursue the full eradication option because it had few cases and could fully close its borders. European countries with their large numbers of infected and more porous borders (economy requiring movement of migrant workers for agriculture, etc.) never pursued full eradication, only curve-flattening.
sorry to hijack your thread, I have nothing to help you on this. Instead, I need some help with my setup and I wonder if you can help me! I started doing some remote piano classes. I have a midi controller and use Logic's piano. I want to play with 'local' latency, but still send the logic sound via zoom (or any other app). To do that today, I have to use an 'Aggregate Device', which introduces ~60ms of latency, making it super hard to practice. Did you face this problem as well?If yes, did you find a solution? Thanks!
If he ended up scamming people again, I wonder if this would be a case of such flagrant disregard for one's fiduciary duty as a fund custodian that investors could actually sue them for breach.
In my limitied view, this seems to be one of the biggest obstacles. I'm heartened to see new cooperative investment funds coming online, like Evergreen Cooperatives (http://www.evgoh.com) and accelerators, like Start.coop (very new)

I got a GoPro Hero 8 Black into OBS (Linux, but should work anywhere) by connecting to it using WiFi and its semi-documented api (https://github.com/KonradIT/gopro-py-api) to turn on its UDP video stream, then used that as the media source in OBS. I'm betting your Hero6 will work this way too.
It looks like I have some work to do on clarifying the homepage here, hah.
Is it possible that time of posting matters? When there are increased number of high trending posts on first page, it is very less likely that a new post gets any attention irrespective of quality of content.
Any parts that didn't completely burn up (of which, again, there shouldn't be be any) would not float, they would fall. But it's a good question if the burned up mass would have any bad effects. My intuition is that the amount of mass is so miniscule in comparison to the whole atmosphere that it really doesn't make a difference what the satellites are made of as long as it's not radioactive. But I haven't done any math about it.
In my opinion, the problem is less correlation of articles on the HN front page and more correlation across news sources. A lot of stuff from the NY Times gets to the front page, for instance. What makes that really bad is that there are a lot of stories behind paywalls or that require registration. The discussion is a regurgitation of discussions elsewhere because everyone comments on the title.

I would love it if paywalled/registration required sites would get downweighted so as to encourage a discussion of the article. Another change I'd like would be programming language stories downweighted based on how many other stories on that language recently hit the front page. It's no secret that the latest fad is Rust, and while it's everyone's right to like any language they want, it certainly doesn't increase HN's value to have yet another story about a library update for [language of the week], and a general discussion about [language of the week] rather than about the post.
I really love how body parts are consolidated so smartly. "noka" meaning thigh, shin and foot is just brilliant.

The main selling point of Zoom seems to be their handling of large group conferences though.
Tegnell has previously categorically denied any mistakes were made, but is now saying a stricter approach should have been taken in hindsight. In Swedish political culture, it seems to be a big thing if even a hint of a mistake is admitted by an authority figure. Directly criticizing public policies is almost a taboo for ordinary civilians.
Steve said iMessage would be an open standard way back in the 2000s. Still waiting.
New Zealand is not comparable to any other country really - the geographical location, isolation, culture and way of living etc makes it ideal case for a lockdown based approach.

It is not feasible to lock down Brazil or Mexico - more people would die because of the lockdown.

As for the Swedish approach - the rest of the world hates it primarly because long term it might just prove that the lockdowns were both ineffectual and unnecessary perhaps even more damaging.
Its because they use peer pressure to get you to buy an apple device. You can invite an android user to an imessage group but it apparently downgrades the feature set of the group for everyone, they also color messages from android users differently. Its all designed to discourage talking to android users so they eventually buy an iphone.
OBS does let you use an iPhone as a camera. (Not sure about mic though...)
What is the partial derivative of a sitting US senator?
Love that photo of yours. I will chime in and say that good photos are like good audio equipment, the people that care will notice but the general population is happy with average. It's like that programming or engineering adage, the first 90% takes 10% of the time.
This is a reasonable concern. And indeed we only (currently) track holdings of publicly-traded securities, where for some senators a decent fraction of assets are in privately-held companies or things like property investments. We take some solace in the fact that officials are required to disclose trades by spouses + dependents (which we include in our calculations), but you're right that we could be missing more illicit activity.

We hope that this work highlights potential dangers of allowing officials to trade in individual stocks, and encourage more robust legislation that would limit the sort of activity you're describing. Obviously very idealistic, but that's the goal.
I use Tweetdeck, so I don't see any "trends" or "who to follow" or "topics" or anything like that (unless I choose to).

Your right, they removed that option, https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ffmpeg. I guess ffplay is built with it by default now.
Who's "we all" here? The "wider software community"? There are certainly tens of millions of users of FaceTime; I'd wager more than the entire population of the "wider software community".

I don't disagree with the ideological position but personally I find it harder to argue with the economics without having also created and operated a billion dollar services and hardware business.

Interestingly I can't find recent authoritative DAU/MAU stats for iMessage or FaceTime; the last time Tim Cook seems to have quoted numbers was in 2014:
https://www.ubergizmo.com/2014/02/apple-handles-40-billion-i...
It also pays significantly more for less work and soul sucking drama than the FTEs deal with. Another point I can make, I'm considering joining a contracting firm that actually does real consulting because all of the engineers are senior and are known for contributing excellent big-picture work. They operate on word of mouth and have been maintaining their spots in companies while the pandemic has caused FTE layoffs in those same companies. Employee owned and the benefits are above average.
My experience as well. I've submitted numerous times and been shocked that it gets maybe one vote, and sometimes days later I see the same link but it's hundred of votes and sitting on the front page.

My current theory that is entirely without basis or data to back it up is certain users are given a lot more weight. A post of mine with 6 to 10 upvotes won't make it to page 2, but I'll see some with 4 upvotes on the front page. Oh well.
google is only interested in selling you ads. They don't care whether you actually get anything out of their analytics product. If it's free, you ARE the product.
My dad was an insurance adjuster. He loved denying claims more than anything. "I'm not good at math, but I sure can subtract!" Fucker had a major power trip. Also had a slight anti-corporate bent, so he loved approving claims too.

I think the other part of this particular episode that got people more upset is the helplessness of it all. I certainly felt helpless and frustrated watching the video, even though I wasn't there.

Interaction with police is one of the rare cases where self defence doesn't cut it. In fact, defending yourself just gives more justification for law enforcement to apply more violence.

Imagine if you were George Floyd, and you knew you were going to get killed. What do you do? If you don't resist you die. If you do resist you might still die or at least be assaulted, then charged with resisting arrest and will have "deserved" the violence by resisting at the end of it.

On the bystander side too. Everyone watching knew it was wrong, but there is no good way to intervene. You either put yourself in harms way, and probably won't effect the outcome, or intervening action will be used to justify whatever violence was used, or likely both.
Perhaps this is frivolous, but why are so many random words capitalized in this article?
Yes, I was envisioning solid hydrogen fuel powering by outgassing as envisioned in the article.
Do we have a good understanding of what the economic impact was in New Zealand? I can't find any unemployment numbers - they haven't released anything since March, before the pandemic took hold. But Sweden's unemployment rate of 7.9% and rising (from the article) is still much lower than the current US numbers - around 20% [1].

iMessage motivates people to people buy iPhones instead of Android when everyone else in a social circle has it. Why should Apple give up on that? What will Apple gain from making it ubiquitous? It would in fact disappoint many people as now they can't use their phone to distance themselves from the people who don't have that blue circle.

Note that I'm arguing from Apple's perspective here. From my own I believe they should absolutely open it up.
> Like are you suggesting the natural state of people is just to loot and behave completely selfishly?

All of them? No. Enough of them? Yes.
I find these claims of the HN mods getting angry at people for posting certain viewpoints baffling. I've been browsing this site for a while and I've never seen that happen, and the only mod actions I've seen are against people who were deliberately trolling, flame-baiting or insulting other users. If your experience of posting about post modernism involves mods getting angry at you, it is far more likely that those posts involved those things than any kind of ideological censorship.
If you watch it closely, all the posts are stalled when the US folks sleep. The only active changes on the top page are during the kind of short 10-12 hourish time period when dang is awake and cares about the submissions.

As others have noted, the software is available at the Library of Congress. It's marked as "by appointment" in their catalog:

https://lccn.loc.gov/95790208

I go to the Library of Congress every once in a while and could ask for this. In my experience, to get items like this you use the Ask a Librarian link on the right and they'll work with you from there. Send me an email at the address here and I'll try this the next time I go: http://trettel.org/contact.html

(Unfortunately my next Library of Congress trip might not be for a year or more at this point due to COVID-19 and life.)

I could make disk images with GNU ddrescue, or another software if you prefer. Note that I don't have a floppy drive at the moment but will ask them if they have an external USB drive.

This is more about the specific financials of the property and the portfolio of the owner, for both small and large owners. Many small owners are, like, funding their grandkids trust funds and a few lost payments are not worth the trouble. Large owners may have occupancy covenants, or, conversely, may have appraisals that have to be maintained.

My personal experience is small owners are "reasonable" and open to building a relationship and large owners could give an eff, but mileage varies. Cheers.
there is a difference between offering jobs on an open market and having a bunch of people take on that offer, vs directly targeting people that work at a company they are contracting with, who are not actually looking for a job
Liked "Its all designed to discourage talking to android users so they eventually buy an iphone."

If you own an Android you will understand the above. Very annoying!
Say you have $100,000.

You could buy a house worth $500,000 with 20% down and a 30 year note. As long as you pay the mortgage, it doesn't matter how much the market value of the property changes. A drop of 40% in real estate prices that lasts for five years is not necessarily a problem.

On the other hand, imagine you put $100,000 into a brokerage account and were able to get 2:1 leverage. You could then borrow $100,000 and buy $200,000 of stock.

However, if the market runs into a bad patch and that stock decreases in value to $120,000, your equity is now only ~16.7%. This is below the minimum margin requirement (25%) for your account. Your brokerage calls you up and says you need to put an additional $10,000 in your account - that's a margin call.

If you don't have the $10,000 then your brokerage will sell enough of your position to bring your account back within requirements; possibly at the bottom of the market.

Real estate: 5:1 leverage, no margin call
Margin account: 2:1 leverage, plus margin calls

Society pays for housing, health care, schooling, Pre-K, pre-pre-k, food, phone/internet, and more for folks in section 8 neighborhoods. They aren't being abandoned, they are being supported by society at considerable expense, at a higher standard of living than the average human being--in return for nothing.

Meanwhile the average worker pays 30+% of their income in federal, state and local taxes--basically working unpaid from Jan 1st through Mar 31st--and they are supposed to believe that the poor are the victims?
Yikes!
> we have a police and prison system designed with illegal marijuana; that could shrink to 1/8th of it's size with relatively few changes in laws (drug law repeal, mandatory minimums, crime act)

Really?

Only about 18% of current prisoners (state and federal) are serving time for drug offenses. [1]

Of federal prisoners serving time for drug offenses, only 12% are primarily about marijuana. (54% are cocaine and 24% are meth.) [2]

Only 14% of federal offenders were subject to a mandatory minimum sentence. (About half of those were drug offenses, so this overlaps heavily with the 18% figure above.) [3]

No realistic minor changes could reduce the prison system to 1/8 of its size. 51% of prisoners are serving time for violent offenses. In fact, 14% of prisoners are serving time for homicide alone, and a similar number for rape. [4] So if you decriminalized _every_ crime except homicide and rape, and cut the sentences for homicide and rape in _half_, then the prison system would be 1/8 of its current size.

I am optimistic that the USA could eventually, in the very long term, reduce the prison system to 1/8 of its size. Fifty years ago, the prison system was 1/4 its current size. [5] Most western European countries have between 1/8 and 1/4 the US incarceration rate, and a few have below 1/8. [6] But this will require way, way, way bigger societal changes than just marijuana decriminalization or other minor tweaks.

[1] Source is https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6846. Of the 1.274M state prisoners, 14% are serving time for drug offenses. Of the 162k federal prisoners, 47% are serving time for drug offenses.

[2] Source is https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/dofp12.pdf. Caveat: this is federal-only, and federal prison statistics are often different from state prison statistics.

[3] Source is https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-pu.... Caveat: this is federal-only, and federal prison statistics are often different from state prison statistics.

[4] Source is https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6846 again. Of the 1.274M state prisoners, 56% are serving time for violent offenses (16% for homicide). Of the 162k federal prisoners, 8% are serving time for violent offenses (2% for homicide).

Deno definitely looks interesting!

All the examples I’ve seen so far are using the ‘deno’ command to run .ts or .js scripts. Can it also package standalone binaries like go/rust—-to make a cli tool, for instance? If so, how do permissions work in that scenario? Does the user need to grant permissions on every invocation or is there some way to whitelist a script/binary?
It'd be nice if people started thinking of how the dynamics can be used if they're hijacked.

Being silent is violence and so is any other opinion other than complete agreement. What a nice norm to establish for someone like Trump to hijack.
Meh, prefix + converts a string into an integer, so it'd be something like toInteger('9') + 1. I agree prefix + is weird, but nothing mind-blowing.
Some quick notes:

* You seem to conflate citation rings with self-citation and confuse the latter with self-referentialism. It is interesting to think in what way could your comment thus be considered topical...

* Citation rings are, indeed, horrible.

* "post-modernist fields like grievance studies" - WTF?

* While I, too, abhor scientific misconduct, the Lindsay, Pluckrose & Boghossian stunts/attacks were themselves unscientific and unethical to say the least. The thing most people fail to realize when exposed to these attacks on certain little-loved fields is that academia is just as people/relationship based as any other business, and maybe most of the scholarship does not contribute anything significant. What I am trying to say is that the fields the three targeted are not necessarily special. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogdanov_affair

Hello, Deno Why you should give Deno a try
The guy is a scientist and his answers have to be viewed from that angle. A politician goes for spin and tries to project confidence; "I am not sure this is the right approach" from a politician usually means "hell, no!". Tegnell's answer means just that -- he is not sure. Which is a normal way for a scientist to feel as there are always uncertainties and when we choose an action we are often not sure for a while if that action is optimal or not.

I personally feel a lot of respect to Tegnell. Sweden might have taken a better or a worse approach than, say, France but it is clearly not catastrophic: there are no mountains of corpses on the streets there are a number of countries with lockdowns and worse per capita death rates; second wave, if appears, will likely go much easier on Sweden, etc.

I think other countries should take a page out of Tegnell's book and instead of trying to exorcise dissent and label opponents, admit to uncertainties in their policies. This will not make their argument weaker; it might still mean that lockdowns are a better option. But it would also open policies for discussion and debate. Good policies will still win. But then they win by merits, not because of trying to silence any opposition. My 2c.
It is not a good idea to protest on the streets right now. It is selfish to protest on the streets. First - it spreads COVID. Which kills people in thousands. Second - it prolongs shelter-in-place and associated damage. Third, likely increases the possibility of re-election of the current president.
Did the coroner actually say it was a heart issue? I read simply that the heart issue may have contributed. Which I understood as, he may have been asfixiated a bit quicker due to the heart issue. Which doesn't actually change anything as far as the murder goes, but that was what I understood them to mean.
Thanks for linking to that - the whole site is accurate, yet very funny.
I only spent a month and a half in Italy, almost all of it in Milan, but I was around italian families a lot. The north south thing really seemed like a big deal, though obviously for some more of a joke than others, as you say.

In at least half of the young families (kids aged elementary to high school) I was around in Milan, one or both parents were originally from the south. They spoke of it almost like how immigrants do: they'd moved north for better jobs/better life, with the implicit sacrifice of being close to family/environs where their real roots were. I guess the southerner stereotype to northerners was sneaky/mafia etc, while the reverse was something like overly bourgeois, slick without substance, moneygrubbing etc. Very interesting and a bit sad (that development in the country seems so uneven).

I never got to visit the south so if I ever get to go back I hope to spend just as much time in the south as I did in the north.

The only other place I know well with such strong and old regional beefs is South Korea and that's really only between two regions, plus people from Jeju stereotypically don't trust mainlanders I guess.
