Worst case scenario it gets flagged for removal and your account gets deleted. How likely is that? ;)

Most likely scenario, I think, it goes the way of most posts, ignored.

Best case scenario, people like it and you get some good conversations about it, some interest, and a few new players.
Is putting a swastika on your Microsoft car truly the way to reclaim a symbol which, in the last century, has been used almost exclusively for hate? No. It's not the venue. There is no room for explanation or context. It's a symbol on a car. If you're going to reclaim a symbol—arguably the symbol MOST APPROPRIATED for hate—indiscriminately regardless of the context, you're either a fool or a troll.
Ask HN: How to Store Passwords in 2020?
Storing passwords is and will be a important topic when using services in the Internet.

But when the count of accounts grows, it won't be that easy to keep all the passwords in your head.

There are many options out there, for example:

- Keepass
- 1Password
- Dashlane
- Hasicorp's Vault
- many more...

What is your prefered way to store your passwords in 2020?
That could be because the newer cases are younger people, and the mortality rate is much lower. There are many people who get it who are completely asymptomatic.

Not a popular opinion I'm sure, but I'm all-in on OneNote. Works everywhere (at least basically) and it is just so rich. Full pen support for drawing (vital for me), tables, equations (sort of), multiple text blocks on a page (also key!), internal & external links, fast search (as of last year). Search is good enough that I rarely use tags anymore.

Yes, it's totally vendor locked in and I do hate that. And no syntax highlighting for code is annoying. Lack of markdown is a pain. And it's bug-ridden and closed source.

But I've been using it for my work daily journal and knowledge capture for a few years now, and it's so fluid and easy to jot down or scribble a quick note and find it later that it's hard for me to imagine going back to a basic Markdown editor. It's the closest thing I've found to a searchable paper lab notebook.

And btw I'm a hardcore Emacs user for the last 40 years. Org mode is great, but for me, OneNote kills it in expressiveness and fluidity of idea capture and recall.

If someone makes a Markdown editor that supports pen/tablet ink drawing and multiple text blocks on a page, I'd be interested.

I understand your position, and I could agree that it can be one of different strategies to move forward, but a few things are missing in my opinion.
You have to clearly state this as your policy. The Powercenter has to declare this strategy to be theirs. This accomplishes a few things. It gives the opposition a clear option to oppose and outline an alternative that could be voted on.

You also have to clearly state what low cases mean. It's been almost four month and everything is random. Random opening. Random closing. But what I see are centers of power avoiding to declare something as their strategy, and share what they consider unacceptable.

Hjalfi works on an Z80(/8080) assembler for CP/M (there are plans for portability) using his own Ada-influenced language Cowgol (https://cowlark.com/cowgol/).

This is a long video (7:09:57) but as always enjoyable. Hjalfi's videos can rarely be considered directly instructional but I find it interesting to watch what seems to me to be a very natural response. In the process he stumbles on to deficiencies and even bugs in his own Cowgol compiler. If you have the time, I recommend it.

Why are Covid cases increasing while deaths are decreasing?
Ethically, it’s inappropriate to post some of these photos without blurring identifying details that are not material to the newsworthiness at hand.

We don’t need to see the officers’ unblurred faces to confirm that these were successfully extracted from a random eBay purchase, as their precise identities are not relevant to the story.

We do need to see the cop cruiser unblurred, because that’s materially relevant to the story and serves as likely (but not certain) evidence of the source of the images.

We don’t need to see the exterior shot of someone random person’s house, because that could result in their location being identified and the press mobbing them pointlessly.

We do need to see the safe interior shot of someone’s house, that doesn’t reveal any identifying information, since that protects their identity while supporting the story at hand.

Although treatment has definitely improved outcomes, IMO, at least some of this effect has to be due to the changing demographics of testing.

In the early days patients essentially had to be far along in the progress of the disease to be tested, we simply had very little testing capacity.

Now we are doing many times more tests against a much wider set of subjects. So it is inevitable that we are getting more of the milder cases and cases earlier in their development. This also accounts for the so-called “shift” toward many more young patients.

The disease hasn’t changed. Current testing is sampling a different distribution of patients than previous months had been.
I was excited to see a professedly conservative site confronting popular subsidies. That's something valuable the classical conservative viewpoint could contribute to the discussion.

Sadly, as I reached the end I knew- only one person could have written this. Marohn is, unfortunately, still bearing his torch alone.

The comments on the site are basically "don't touch my handouts" and "suburbs are the last stronghold against the brown people".
what does this actually accomplish? it reminds of twitter removing terms like 'blacklist', 'slave' and 'master' from their repo or whatever, as if renaming things will solve racism somehow.

> And in all honesty, no data scientist with an ounce of self-worth should work long-term for such companies, unless it just happens to be their own.

You're kind of saying that no one should work for a startup ever. At small companies you have to do many things. As you said a software engineer, there aren't dedicated front-end engineers or dev-ops. Marketing teams don't have content vs. growth vs. performance vs. brand vs. email marketers. You might be the first sales person, which means no sales ops support, no account manager for ongoing relationships, etc.

There are trade-offs, of course! There are trade-offs to anything. Some people value working on many aspects of a company. Some people find understanding more than their narrow field to be interesting and rewarding and, you know, self-worth-y!

So I think it might be helpful to step back and consider that not everyone has the same priorities, experiences, interests, or definitions of happiness and self-worth as you do. And that's okay.

Great point. I often see people sharing strategies for organizing notes but I rarely see people discussing how they get stuff down in the first place. And there's a lot of improvement we can make here.

I wanted to add more modularity to my jot-downs so that it would be easier to organize them later, one small step at a time. I found that I can get this modularity by writing my notes as if I'm texting myself.

I'd prefer to live in a society where the government protects the stability of some kinds of investments over reasonable time periods. A homeowner can't just pull up stakes every 5 minutes if living conditions drastically worsen. Yes I know there are people who live under those kinds of circumstances, and they're typically not very well off. There are also countries where the government has no influence on investment by virtue of being utterly powerless, and those countries aren't very well off either.
I took the deeplearning specialisation on Coursera by Andrew Ng. The first two courses were good, but after that the quality of the content quickly deteriorated. Video lectures were not properly edited, you could see Andrew repeating his lines over and over again, which should have been taken out in post. Programming exercises felt like fill-in-the-blanks and the libraries used were severely outdated. Thank God it was paid for by my institution.

>> The developer will pay fees to manage garbage collection and school size increase when getting a permit. This is a city issue not a density problem.

This map is from NYC. The neither the developer nor the permit increases the school size, the school is the same size it has been for decades.

Totally agree this is a city issue. I think the core problem is that everything needs to go in lockstep -- agreeing to, say, free-for-all zoning but handwaving all other problems as things the "market will solve" doesnt work because the solution doesnt come for years, or decades. For this to work, it all needs to happen synchronously. It clearly didn't, as evidenced by NYC's public school registration waiting lists.

A great solution I saw (same city) was when the developer built a public school for lease in the bottom floors of the high-rise to accommodate the influx of families. This is very, very rare in NYC though. Usually its a move-fast-and-break-things approach.

I also agree paid parking would solve the problem. But saying it "should" happen without joining it to zoning changes achieves nothing -- it just waves away the problem with a theoretically perfect solution. The zoning change would have been a great thing if it came with a long series of simultaneous changes in other policies from school size to paid parking.

This reminds me of a story from an acquaintance who was a dairy farmer. The jurisdiction passed a referendum mandating all eggs farmed would be free-range eggs. This tripled costs and raised the break-even price of eggs. The jurisdiction did not include on the referendum a restriction against importing non-free-range eggs. After the law went into effect, most voters who happily voted for the restriction continued to purchase inexpensive non-free-range imported eggs. My friend's egg farm went bankrupt. This could have been solved with a synchronous policy.
Yep! I love it for simple projects.
The first point is characterized correctly. We are reaping the whirlwind from a pernicious post-modern academic culture that has been thoroughly corrupted, even in the traditionally "harder" sciences to a degree. Here is a much drier, but still excellent, argument along the same lines:

https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2020/05/science-without-v...

The second characterization is way off base. All IFR numbers are rough estimates at this point, and in fact the number is just a model parameter that does not correspond to anything in the real world, so it's a bit hard to talk about any "fact" there. The disease evolves, treatment protocols change (early venting was a terrible mistake), and susceptibility may vary widely from community to community. Still, the most recent CDC estimate for this model parameter is 0.26%.

The third is a prediction, not an established fact. Right now there is no way to know what the long-term effects of our policy response will be. I have cited many anecdotal "bad" effects which (together with others) I believe will outweigh the "good" effects, but we will have to wait and see.
Does anyone have any research or experience with using "personal" systems like these as a team? I've always seen them described as having a single user, but many of the links seem like they'd be just as powerful for a (maybe small, maybe tightly-knit) team.

I am confused. Advertising either works sufficiently well or it doesn’t. If it does work sufficiently well, then that means that it brings in more money than it costs. If targeted advertising works better than generic advertising, then targeted advertising brings in more than generic advertising. And vice versa. If advertising using privacy-protecting statistical methods works just as well, then again it should show up in the numbers.
