It could be argued that the multi-generational home is one of the cultural ingredients for such a bad outbreak in Italy. That is a lot more common in that country than in some other parts of Europe.

It is also somewhat common in immigrant groups in western Europe and the US (though somewhat out of economic necessity rather than cultural norms) and those groups are also the hardest hit in the US (apart for retirement homes).

Causality is hard to prove, but it is something worth looking at.
I'm wondering when that was. I remember basically always being able to get parts through normal distribution.

You are indeed missing something here :)

Long 1-wire networks are notoriously unreliable [1]. Something that works fine today can stop working tomorrow. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be used anywhere. They have their niche.

If I want my heating system monitor to report temperatures once per hour and it takes me 5 tries and 10 seconds to read a sensor, I call it good enough. If monitor doesn't succeed after 20 retries, it sends an alert to replace the sensor (so far that only happened due to damaged wiring, not the sensor itself).

It is possible (and quite fun) to build reliable systems using somewhat reliable components :)

The reason the comparison is interesting is that Sweden didn't really implement such measures. Schools there have been operating pretty much as normal.

> If Apple et. al. wanted to pay 'American wages' for most of that activity, then major clusters of those skills would develop here.

They would, but you're still talking about a 10-20 year gap. First for masses of people to get the adequate education, apprenticeships, get good at their jobs, and then for these people to mentor the second cohort 8-12 years later to get the kind of volume China and Germany have.
They might, but in this WWDC talk we get some pretty strong tea leaves that they wont.

How to Trick Your Brain to Remember Almost Anything
"Most" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. And lets also be real, there is a self-reporting bias there, where I doubt very many people (myself included) would admit to _wanting_ to not work and still get paid, even if that is the motivation.
Let's say you're putting a group of twenty-five random sixteen year olds together without a live coach. What could possibly go wrong?
It's possible. I wouldn't blame someone for running a Google search on xyz cancer therapy and clicking on random top results.
Agreed. I’m always impressed by NYTimes infographics, they’re surprisingly informative
Why cant you just middle click or control+click?
A lot of the time, these struggles are invisible to those living in the US. It's similar with McMaster-Carr; typically an American hobbyist will ask why one would look anywhere else for hardware parts, not knowing that (at least for many years) they would only ship to corporate partners for orders outside the US.
Rule of thumb: Catching COVID doubles your chance of dying this year.

This rule lines up with age group and preexisting condition groups surprisingly well. It underestimates the death rate of older people, but is within a factor of two. It drastically over-estimates the death rate for children.

Corollary 1: If we do nothing, then hospitals and morgues will have to absorb a year worth of cases in about 2 months. Obviously, that’s a big problem.

Corollary 2: COVID will reduce life expectancies by much less than 6 months (actually, less than one month).

I suspect we could increase life expectancies in the US by much more than 6 months if we spent $3T on something other than the shutdown.
isn't this similar to Japan's 2ch?
The problem is not that people didn't read the submission.

The problem is that people commented without knowing what the fuck they're talking about.

I just replied to a comment on the HAProxy 2.2 release. I haven't read the article yet, what I commented isn't related to changes in 2.2 - I was able to comment in a meaningful way (i.e. it's an opinion but it's an informed opinion) because of previous experience and knowledge of the topic.

As with many problems, better "voting" of comments would likely solve this.

If HN adopted reasoned voting (i.e. not just down votes, which lead to an echo chamber of whatever koolaid is flavour of the week) you could easily have a "Incorrect" or "Hasn't read TFA" downvote 'reason'.

Combine that with better handling of downvoted comments (i.e. don't just fade them to oblivion, due the aforementioned koolaid circle jerk) and I believe people would use the voting system more effectively.

Right now I simply refuse to downvote any comment, because it's just completely broken (and yet "working as intended" according to the PTB).
>1. What makes you think we _can_ get this under control without herd immunity or a vaccine? I am of the belief that there is a certain level of latent immunity via t-cells in a large portion of the population and thus effective herd immunity is around 25-30% infected. But for arguments sake, lets say it is around 70 based solely on Rt.

New Zealand, Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, and Germany have done it without herd immunity or a vaccine with a variety of strategies. We should follow their examples and stop using various forms of “American Exceptionalism” as an excuse to not learn from them.

>2. Who would pay for the UBI? My state is already running low on money. We are already having to cut programs. Raising taxes doesn't count, that would take a year to pass, a year to implement and collect and probably a few years in court litigating. So how do we pay for it?

Print the money. It’s short term and there’s already massive demand and supply shocks that will only get worse if the pandemic isn’t curbed.

>3. How do you equitably select a parent to stay home? And how to do reimburse their employer for lost productivity? Do you guarantee their job upon the end of the pandemic?

I believe Canada and some countries in Europe are doing this through an employer-based grants, where the government subsidizes wages to keep them on the payroll. Whether this is ultimately desirable is up for debate, but the companies are going to be screwed in terms of productivity (and everything else) if this ravages the US labor force. How to do it equitably? Just let the parents/caregivers decide for themselves.
My assumption is that if Intel had gotten serious about mobile devices, Apple would not have been their only customer.

By sending all that business to TSMC and Samsung, they were financing their rival's R&D.
> It's hard to imagine what that process could be if not immunity.

The first paragraph of the article amiga_500 linked says: "People who have recovered from Covid-19 may lose their immunity to the disease within months, according to research suggesting the virus could reinfect people year after year, like common colds."

I don't think there is significant doubt that immunity exists; the question is how long it remains in effect. The drop in deaths that you mention would be compatible with a several month long effective immunity period, but a herd immunity approach would probably not work well if reinfection is possible every year.
Both FTDI and Prolific have done this kind of thing. I switched to the CH340 a while back without any issues.
It is. I think that's pretty universally acknowledged, even by those who think it's the right strategy.
I'd rather not have something so needless as an edge to edge screen, and thus not worry about the notch at all. I really don't see the value proposition of an edge-to-edge screen being that significant.
Overwhelmingly, I believe the issue we're facing is somewhat to do with identity and property being tied together, and not something specific to the US. And this is a factor that precedes 1776 in the rise of national identities: monarchs had a strongly individualized identity, but identity across a people via a national boundary was a more limited consideration until trade growth had sufficiently developed a reason to use such: language, religion and local allegiance did most of the work. The locals could often evade legibility by obscuring their identity.

But property-based identity held a lot of currency by the time 1776 rolled around: it established credibility as an actor with some real agency and independence within trade relations, and therefore our modern nations have built their legibility around property. And what we've done since is to either try to position everyone somewhere within the property system, or to turn towards an authoritarian model to create identity without ownership(as in the various communist experiments, or the flat, hidden authority in "Tyranny of Structurelessness").

So when we have the idea of something like identity theft, or corporate personhood, that's a thing generated of having an identity to own, cascading down into human relationships as property, personal branding, etc. And the largest, most developed function of the legal system in the US is to make judgments about property. But we also have systems of identification that are imposed in an authoritative fashion(the SSN, DL, passport, etc.) - every nation is a mixed identity market in this way.

And in this respect I think the philosophy is truly starting to fail in a world which has so greatly automated ownership, and we will need to consider both identity and property at the same time to reach useful alternatives.

First and last letters give me no problems, because they are next the space.

I wish there was a speed / interval slider to this simulator, assuming this is 10 speed and 10 interval I'd say a 8 speed 2 interval (fast change, but less often) would give more realistic results
Intel does have manufacturing issues at smaller node sizes but that's a really complicated thing to measure, node size claims from various semiconductor manufacturers are more marketing than anything else now.

There's been some suggestions to replace node size claims with better density metrics https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9063714. It's not like TSMC's fabs are some order of magnitude more advanced than Intel's fabs. If Intel had an ARM chip to produce today they could use their considerable fab volume to produce them profitably. Even at large process sizes they could still produce competitive ARM chips. It's not like their current x86 chips at 14nm are slouches.
The fault lies entirely on your previous company's management.

As Buffett says, "price is what you pay, value is what you get." Your ex-co failed to provide reasons why customers should pay for the value it offers.

Apple excels at this, despite naysayers saying that a premium consumer electronics is a "bad business".
The problem was not lack of skilled labour here, though it is now, but rather the high cost of that skilled labour here, then and now. You can let in a skilled worker from Czechia or Romania but the expected wage here will be much higher than that of a Chinese worker, and they will be unemployed because the American designer of the product will get it made in China.
> Since it affects the older population more than the younger, you want to catch it as early as possible. Catching it next year is more likely to kill you than catching it this year.

That might be true if you assume that there will not be a vaccine AND that medicine will not advance in the near future. But we have already seen medicine get better at treating Covid. (For example, doctors have learned not to use ventilators so much and proning is used more often, from what I understand.) I would rather get Covid now than a few months ago both because the medicine has gotten better and because the hospitals in my area are less overwhelmed—despite the fact that I am a few months older now. Furthermore, if I do have to die from Covid, I'd rather live a little longer first!

> retire the old and ask them to keep out of the way

Plenty of high-risk folks are not of retirement age. And many who are older live with younger family members for various reasons. It is not feasible for all of the high-risk people to "keep out of the way." Who will take care of high-risk elderly and disabled people who need help with bathing and toileting? What should grandparents do who are the guardians of their grandchildren? It's obvious that you have not thought this through.

I can't do phone numbers or OTP for the life of me.

Part of the reason I got into programming is that I kept mixing up numbers in high school in the show-your-work phase that led me to the wrong answer saved by partial credit. I built programs on my TI-86 that would output each step of that phase and would meticulously write things down number by number.
I don't have the general problems with reading, but I do have the problem you mentioned. And I'm also kind of a speed reader, I think the problem is here.

You'd be surprised reading Twitter. There's a large group of people that seem to hate this site (usually calling it the orange site), and I'm not sure why. Every site will have people you disagree with, but unlike sites like reddit, people seem to be genuine more often. Also ironic Twitter is being used as a platform to say HN is bad.

>My question is, why is it that Apple can achieve such massive jump in the heat/performance ratio?

25-30% is not what I'd call a "massive jump".
Yep, everything else is overkill unless you have a large amount of traffic.
This is a fascinating glimpse into far-right ideology, and I'm really curious about this idea that welfare expense increases in proportion to ethnic heterogeneity. Where does it come from, or rather, how do people try to justify it?
No, I don't think so. I think my response went right over yours.

The comment is trying to mirror my criticism - "I read the first part, found an error, and stopped". My response is trying to highlight that, in fact, their response does not mirror mine because I had actual errors that I pointed out that motivated me to stop reading, whereas that comment did not (apparently).

In other words, if I had actually made substantive errors in my first sentence or so, it might make sense to stop reading. I'd have already demonstrated that my thinking wasn't very clear. If that was the case though, then it would be an invalid criticism of my reasoning (read a bit, saw an error, stopped) because that comment author would be following the same paradigm. On the other hand, if I didn't actually make any substantive errors in the first sentence or so my post, then the criticism is still invalid, because, while I actually pointed out substantive errors in the OP, this comment doesn't point out substantive errors in my comment.
Android [1] and iOS [2] both have APIs and UI to associate a custom instant messenger protocol entry, e.g. "Signal": "signalusername" with a real contact. SVR is thus not required to store Signal handles in my phone native contact list, so why do Moxie and others keep saying this is somehow necessary?

I think we have a terminology problem. If you think of Clinton and his Democrats as "left" then, sure, they were/are highly pro-neo-liberal globalization. To the rest of the world outside the US, that's nowhere close to left. They're neo-liberals, not socialists.

> 2,400 teachers and 1,260 learners have tested positive for COVID-19.

It's pretty interesting that almost twice as many teachers as students tested positive. Presumably there are ~20x more students than teachers?

It may very well be the case that children are far less likely to either catch or spread the virus, but far less likely is not the same as not spreading it at all.
> Does putting a diaper on a bonobo and taking it to a restaurant sound like scientific research?

Science isn't an aesthetic choice, so whether or not something "sounds like" science, is completely irrelevant.

Science is asking questions, and trying to gather observations which answer the question.

If your critique is that what she's doing doesn't sound like science, that just sounds like you don't know what science is. I'd have to know what question was being asked to know whether bringing a bonobo in a diaper to a restaurant is really a good way to gather observations on that question.

> Sue hasn’t been connected with the initiative for many years and for years after her leaving harassed the workers and organization such as by constantly calling the police and reporting false animal abuse. It took the author until nearly the end to begin mentioning similar items. There is nothing new or significant in the article worth mentioning. No new research.

Just because it's not new, doesn't mean it's not significant.

So far, your "personal knowledge" just sounds like a grudge which you would benefit from working through. I'm not saying you have to like her or pretend that everything she did was right and good, but you also don't have to go on the internet and try to tear down the good parts of her legacy.

You don't need to persuade me she was a destructive and slightly crazy person--that's in the article--and its clear that her presence had become harmful to progress. But her earlier research does look pretty interesting, and it would be a shame to not look at her earlier research because she became hostile later. Sometimes assholes discover interesting things.
That's really interesting to me. I grew up with MySpace. Facebook wasn't a thing until high school. I used them similarly, but for different reasons: I spoke to new people on MySpace and people that I already knew on Facebook. I made many dear friends on MySpace and still talk to many of them frequently.

I think that more traditional "profile-based" social media is well-suited to meeting new people. I have no interest in reading another person's "feed" of shared content and ramblings, but I am more inclined to perhaps read a short "About Me" if that makes sense.

It was neither the "left" (get real) nor the "right" who were pushing for globalization, but multinational corporations. They happen to be on the political right because their goal was to reduce workers' wages and union power, but in fact they have controlled both wings of American politics, the Democrats (fiscally right-wing and socially liberal) and the Republicans (fiscally Right-Wing+ and socially conservative) for a very long time.

You're not seeking answers; in place of anything that would lead to a better understanding, you're asking the questions that make it easier to defend the position you've staked out. (Great job, Brendan!)

If someone released a memory-safe, highly concurrent, systems-oriented version of INTERCAL, you recognize that someone might look at that and say, "Gee, I don't think that's really worth using", and the comment's lack of detail doesn't nullify the substance of what makes the comment true or not? And an opponent could approach in the same way you are now, with the primary goal of "beating" the other participant—by making it burdensome to respond—and by all appearances do so?

It's not my job to painstakingly prepare a perfect, incontrovertible response for a hostile adversary, particularly since absolutely nothing would come of that time investment. If your idea of success is the sound of all your colleagues telling yourselves that you won the conversation and you're on the right track and nothing needs to change because there really aren't any issues... then, hey, that's just fine.
I've always wondered if that special Dyslexia font on Kindles actually helps. Can anyone in this thread with Dyslexia enlighten me?
Wikipedia says that there is no research showing that the commercial font called Dyslexia is useful for people with dyslexia (in improving readability). I also see free and open source clones like OpenDyslexic. [1] I presume this wouldn’t help much either.

What else can web developers and/or content writers do to make content better readable or more easier to comprehend (even if it’s by easy guessing)?
