We aren't a package manager. We're a registry and CDN (of sorts). Blockchain is actually a huge solution to this problem for three very notable reasons. The first is that Deno module imports are url based, and we don't want code going off the internet, as this would break the code dependent on it. Blockchain solves this because transactions (module code) are unable to be modified or deleted. This means that import links will never break, thanks to blockchain! In addition, it's unbelievably cheap to permanently store data. For reference, we've stored 17,297 files on the blockchain. For proof, you can see our wallet address and transaction history here: https://viewblock.io/arweave/address/tySYSW93nDky1sbCO56PmyE... This permanent and decentralized data storage has cost us right around 5 cents USD. Thirdly, thanks to the blockchain, the module data is completely decentralized across over 340 nodes and counting around the world. You can see the exact statistic here: https://viewblock.io/arweave Again, thanks for bringing these things up. These are great points for us to address publicly.

Ask HN: What it takes to become an 'anchor' on Stellar network?
I was looking for an anchor on Stellar.org network so that I can integrate my application with the network to help users in India transfer funds. But there doesn't seem to be an anchor for Indian market. What does it take to be an anchor on Stellar network if I want to be one?
I don't get it. Why bother faking something that is very cheap to make genuine? I mean you pay peanuts for real deal, and you want to make something even cheaper then that?...why? Where is the profit?
This seems like an exaggeration of the descriptions I've heard about dyslexia, in that letters move way too far. Another huge problem is that the first and last letters don't change, and I'm betting that for dyslexics, those anchor letters don't exist. With the anchor letters, I find this trivial to read. It barely slows me down at all. Studies have shown that most people can read fairly easily when the first and last letters of a word are fixed and the inner letters are scrambled. Given the difficulty that dyslexics have, I suspect this isn't a realistic simulation.

It's an interesting idea. I appreciate the goal. I just don't know that this is anything like the real thing. I'm not sure it's possible to know what it's subjectively like.
When I was a bike messenger we had those giant motorola/nextel rubberized brick phones. It would have been impossible to do the job without using the 'chirp' 'radio' function while cycling.

I recall a story of someone dropping one in traffic. It bounced off the pavement and was hit by an oncoming box truck. He retrieved it from the sidewalk and continued on without issue.

Not sure if that would be possible with today's handsets.

We were not exactly popular with motorists. That kind of behavior would not have gone over well in Singapore.
That's not true at all, just Samsung Galaxy top model sells about half as much as Apple sells iPhones and that's in USA where iOS has the highest market share. If you add other brands to the mix you can't call high end android sales miniscule.

Author here. A lot has changed since then, mostly for the better. There's been numerous youth initiatives, clubs, groupos, and technological advancements that have grown ham radio since 2017 across all generations, especially millennials (that are starting to settle in and grow disposable income) and GenZ (that are starting to come of age to really experiment with various technical hobbies like ham radio, electronics, programming, etc)

This is a great sign, and there's more up my sleeve that I'm trying to get moving through larger organizations like the ARRL and IARU, so they can start to set the precedent for the future of amateur radio, rather than no-name bloggers like me.

Also, read the article. This was the first blog of mine that truly used a clickbait title, and as such the ratio of criticism regarding the content of the article to the headline is understandably low.
You can't be serious. That black man that killed the protestor on the freeway was in no way intentionally ramming into the people. He was driving along a freeway. He did his best to miss the people but they were everywhere!

You think he did this ON PURPOSE? Are you for real? What's his motive?
The ladder problem is one that I seem to remember was in our first-year classical mechanics text back when I was in grad school, and caused a lot of debate... it's a good one.
"Pinterest for markdown notes", does it mean that you will be spamming google search results with ugly SEO hacks, with markdown content?
I think you're absolutely right there will be push-back if the self driving cars crash is stupid ways, but again, it's all about the numbers.

Planes still fall out of the sky for stupid reasons (maintenance errors, mostly) yet the numbers say they're very, very VERY safe, so people use them.

Once the facts show self driving cars are safer than human driving cars (even if they sometimes crash in stupid ways), there will be no holding back.
Things I wish I knew before starting as a QA Engineer
If you want to make higher education, its worth looking running some regressions on what drives cost differences between educational institutions. The community college I worked for a decade ago now charges 223 per credit hour, while the flagship state university I attended now charges 841 per credit hour, using out of state rates as a proxy for the cost to provide service. I don't think anyone can explain what makes the flagship's Chem 1 offering 4x better than the community college. Yes, the instructor is more involved in research, but often that's more of a distraction to the core instructional job students pay for (or, conversely, the matter of undergraduate instruction distracts world class researchers from their pursuit of science). In fact, a great many students of nearby flagship unis took classes at my CC employer, and transferred the credits to save money.

The key is to figure out how to provide the thing people _are_ paying 4x for at a cheaper cost. IMO, what is paid for is prestige, in the form of admission selectivity, and the privilege of making connections with people who also passed the screening filter. That prestige is what you put on your resume, even after the GPA becomes irrelevant. It's why students transfer credits from CCs and don't list any affiliation.

From that POV, the most useful thing you could do is convince employers that community college grads are worth hiring, and convince students that the associate's degree isnt' a black mark on a resume.

> But we know young people rarely have symptoms

And we know that, while presymptomatic spread is an issue, asymptomatic spread is between rare and nonexistent.

The fact that children tend not to be diagnosed because they tend much more strongly than adults to be asymptomatic when infected is not irrelevant to their propensity to spread the disease.
Wireless electricity?
That's great! Your feedback will be very valuable (you can just reply the Welcome email).

Btw, I just changed that line to:

Also, there is no feature to share content outside of the list of who posted it.
A simple way to share a note that would work with your current setup could be generating a link with the notes content encoded in base64 or similar.

e.g. https://spaceboard.vercel.app/content/SGVsbG8gSE4hIFRoaXMgaX...

Like yeah, it's not pretty. But it would work.
I don't think there's anything 'gotcha' about the question. If you understand that git uses SHA1 for the objects it stores, the answer is pretty obvious. If you don't, you really don't know git.
I definitely didn't take it to be a simulation of the mechanics - but a rough feeling of what it's like to be taxed and burdened on something you're used to taking for granted
> Children will spread the infection to their teachers, school staff, and families. There is no question about that, regardless of whether children's infections count as "cases."

Actually this is exactly the big question right now -- ignoring "cases", are children as infectious as adults?

We don't know, signs point to "not as infectious, but probably nonzero".
Please don't take anything I wrote above as an argument to abandon caution and let the pandemic burn uncontrolled--as you'll see from my posts elsewhere on this page, I'm strongly in favor of mask use, social distancing, and other simple and relatively inexpensive interventions. I don't want to see people acting recklessly, but neither do I want to seem them in despair from an outlook more pessimistic than the best current science would support.
I don't get why every Starlink launch, every comet, every ISS or GPS flare I have to download another app / spend ages trying to track down how to see it.

Isn't there like a Monkey script I can grab to add to an app that people can just post?

I do guess it creates some sense of adventure having to seek it out.
Somewhat related; I have a lesser known disability which is related to dyslexia called dysgraphia[1]. For simplicity sake, I often describe it as "like dyslexia, but for output instead of input". Basically, it makes it very difficult to write legibly.

Dysgraphia, and (the often accompanying) ADD, are part of why I initially got into computers. I would type much much more easily than I could write, so I would beg teachers to let me type assignments instead of writing by hand, which was significantly less common when I was young than it is today. In retrospect, it's a good part of how I ended up working in technology.

Unfortunately it has, I think, also hampered my career. It makes it, as you can imagine, significantly more difficult to whiteboard. My whiteboarding either looks like something a child would produce, or requires immense focus (often both), completely separate from the engineering consideration, to produce what seems simple for most people.

Inconspicuous disabilities are such a strange thing to live with. They're not evident, so I think it's difficult for people to relate to them. I really appreciate the effort that was put into making the linked site and I hope it makes it easier for people to understand the struggles some people deal with without most other people ever noticing.

The main question is susceptibility. The projection for models have been wrong. Out by orders of magnitudes on deaths. According to them Sweden should have 10 times the deaths they have.

The most obvious answer is that quite a lot of the population are already not susceptible to this virus for whatever reason.

And we also know that the excess death rate on the under 40s is negligible - which is the majority of the population. The median age of deaths is over 80 in Europe.

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.

There is no longer any justification for holding back the majority of the population when we can just retire the old and ask them to keep out of the way until the virus fully burns out.
Yeah, that's what scares me. On the other hand...I do have to trust my CM for so much already. Trust is an interesting thing in business.
I have a few project ideas, and I’ve been looking at Maxim chips for some portions. What’s wrong with them?
That's because iptables do layer 3 load balancing (on a kernel level) while HAProxy does layer 7 (on user level). Layer 3 load balancing is much simpler so there's less work to do. If layer 3 load balancing does work for your use case then HAProxy wasn't the right tool.

BTW: Willy Tarreau (the author of HAProxy) is also a Linux kernel developer and made contributions in those areas, so . If you configure HAProxy to do zero copy forwarding you can get quite good performance.
I should note that I've played thousands of Scrabble and Boggle games. My brain may be particularly trained for comprehending this sort of thing. I'm also good at these sorts of word puzzles in general, and have a large vocabulary. So I'm biased in many ways.
I think this is the main reason I cannot justify Tesla for myself. It feels like I am purchasing a piece of software I have to call Tesla support for. No one else can help. And it is not a cheap toy. The support may be quick and it may even be convenient.. I don't know if it is just me being old or general weariness with the recent efforts to subscribe to me various 'features' ( Tesla is certainly not the only one trying to get that market ). I do want to be able to either do it myself or pay someone other than Tesla to do it if need be ( I hopefully won't, but I want the option ).
Things have certainly also changed with the move to subscription models, like O365. Students can now reliably produce MS Office compatible documents in web browsers on any internet-connected computer or mobile device.

This is a big shift from just a few years ago where significantly fewer students had the hard drive space, internet, and know-how to download and manage multiple licensed versions or bitnesses of MS Office products. Since professors might require older versions of software that are incompatible with other courses at the school (or simply not be aware of the newer version available to them), there's not much students can do except hope the professor will listen to reason or not grade too harshly on something they might be getting entirely wrong.

Poor professoring (or TAing) is a good way to get a chair or dean involved, so it's rare to have things escalate too far, but it's still a big source of stress for students who might hold certain parts of the system in higher esteem than they rightfully deserve.
1. The Michael's fit the profile for spies that operate in China to a T. One Michael is ex-diplomat working at NGO, another works in NGO affiliated with NK and a source of NK information. Hint: Chinese officials with access to NK aren't the ones soliciting him for insights.

2. China has proven record to exposing spies domestically, seen in 2010 CIA debacle where every CIA asset in the country was compromised.

3. China doesn't detain expats arbitrarily. That's what western media tells their useful idiots to spread FUD. There are hundreds of thousands of expats in China, they don't need to waste time detaining innocent people. Just like how the drug dealer being executed has trafficking priors in Canada.

4. Ergo the Michael's were most likely spies, Chinese surveillance tech has only improved since.

Obviously, China is opaque on this issues so there won't be smoking gun proof. But people who watched this space for along time can connect the dots, and in fact did so immediately, before official charges were levied. One would need compelling evidence to demonstrate why they aren't spies, i.e. Canada doesn't spy on China or China doesn't have the capability to expose Canadian spies. But many people can't seem to accept China is a rational geopolitical actor who retaliated intelligently instead of randomly kidnap expats for shits and giggles.
Do password managers work inside native apps? That's the number 1 place I use sign in with Google/Apple.
Fair enough.

There is a lot of want it to just go away out there.

Worries me more than pessimism does. (That is at least warranted, even if not optimal)

I, frankly, don't care about expense so much either. People are high value. Cannot be replaced.

Economic implications are not good. Nothing to look forward to at present. For me personally, I am just going to scale down.

Done right, it does not have to mean less, just differently.
Well, Japanese companies used to have a lot of debt in the 80s and when the crash came, a lot of them got hurt. Now, they're mortally afraid of debt and cant for the life of them ever expand their revenue. Japan is a cautionary tale of what happens when people save too much money, are too risk-adverse, and are unwilling to borrow.

The BOJ has been trying to get inflation up for decades with some of the lowest rates around and it hasn't worked. The country has been in a recession for a good 30 years and no amount of monetary policy manages to make things any better.

Debt is a really powerful force, both positive and negative. I think for some businesses, like real estate, it makes sense to have a lot of debt, and others, like brick and mortar retailers, where debt can very easily destroy your entire business.
So in a classroom with 15 kids breathing in and out, talking etc, for hours, with an airborne virus, seems the teachers will catch it.

>>And we know that, while presymptomatic spread is an issue, asymptomatic spread is between rare and nonexistent.

Our knowledge is not that precise yet.

What we do know, based on models, is that "silent" transmission accounts for about 50% of covid-19 infections.

My daughter and I found a hill outside of the city. We could barely make out a smudge in the sky with bare eyes, but binocs and dSLR managed to capture it. Fun!
I went to a football (soccer) game in Istanbul at the new "Olympic" Stadium. We drove there and since there's insufficient proper parking, everyone was just dropping their cars wherever they could within walking distance. It's in a surprisingly desolate area but numerous enterprising individuals had set up a similar parking scheme there. We paid.

On the way out, several cars had had their windshields smashed: punishment for the non-payers.
Yeah, there's that well known demonstration that shows that it doesn't really matter the order of letters within a word as long as the first and last letters remain the same.
That’s a move you can only pull once. No one will ever contract on your fab again and all you’ve gained is a single design.
Back in the 90s a friend had modified his Realistic brand radio scanner to pick up cell phone frequencies. Nothing was encrypted back then. One of the calls we heard was of a computer generated voice repeating the phone number, the "internal temperature" and then a thirty second audio feed of what sounded like machinery. Every time I tried calling the number, it was the same thing though the temperature varied by a couple of degrees now and then. Never heard any voices or much variety in the machine noises. No idea what it was other than some local factory.

The condo building I lived in during the 2000s had its server with all of the video cameras hacked. Probably the most exciting thing anyone could see was the fitness room with people exercising. We had no idea if anyone actually bothered watching the feeds or if it was just part of a botnet.
> However simply repeating requests until sensor reports a valid value (!=+85C and !=-127C) works fine.

You know you're dealing with counterfeits and you know they're unreliable, but you've somehow convinced yourself that despite all the uncovered variance sitting on the table, if you keep poking long enough until the component returns some non-edge-case value, then it "works fine".

I must have hopped on the sanity train quicker than I should have because it seems like I'm missing something critical in the narrative here.
Government debt denominated in foreign currency looks pretty much identical to corporate or individual debt.
I do miss the Gamecube controller, and absolutely struggle on Playstation since it doesn't have brightly coloured buttons to help me learn (I use an Xbox360 controller on my PC).

Maybe this is reaching but my natural thumb position over the ABXY set of buttons does result in a different perceived texture based on what part of my thumb is resting on each button. So that might be enough since we typically don't stray far from the cluster.
Heart scarring (what the study looked for) is extremely common. For instance, flossing your teeth commonly leads to an opportunistic infection that leads to heart tissue scarring.

If most of the 13M are expected to be impacted in some way by the heart damage, then the number is terrifying, but the evidence doesn’t back that up.

Also, there’s a huge difference between 1/5 people need heart surgery, and the more realistic 60% * 18% * 19%, which is closer to 1/50.

To help put that in perspective: ~1/2 of Americans suffer from heart disease.
I've made a few orders over the past few months. The $5 is for less than 14 ounces (which is surprisingly heavy, I just had a big heatsink and a bunch of other components shipped in that weight); after that it's $9 for any of UPS/FedEx/USPS. I guess it's just USPS price inflation? I remember when stamps used to be 42 cents.

It seems relatively easy to read known words, but almost impossible to read long, complicated ones (like typoglycemia).

I can understand that learning to read with dyslexia is super frustrating... This is a great way to make people understand what dyslexia feels like.

It would be amazing if we had something like that to understand what it’s like to be black in America...
We don't know this either. May be age-dependent.
The polio waves in the 40s and 50s I'd argue were handled pretty optimally. Public accommodations were (for over a decade!) shut down when needed to control the epidemic in their area, and the government pushed hard to fund vaccine development. But as far as I've read, there were no significant voices arguing either "polio is just a bad flu" or "we'd better shut down schools until the vaccine is ready".
> Theft implies someone was “manifesting the desire to exclude others”.

That can't be the whole story though. You can't keep stolen property, even if you bought it from a 3rd party and were under the impression that the transaction was legal. Lost&found might not be stolen, but if the airline 'finds it' without the intention to return it, it's not that far off.
A friend had a startup that did this for nightclubs so you could see which club was really going hot and which was dead. He got a couple of places to sign up but think ultimately it failed to gain traction because no nightclub wants potential customers to know ahead of time that it's dead inside.
It wasn’t entirely positive, but it shouldn’t have been positive at all.

Does putting a diaper on a bonobo and taking it to a restaurant sound like scientific research?

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. The article in general is a rehashing of previous articles on Sue and the bonobos. There is nothing new or significant in the article worth mentioning. No new research.

You can take these as anecdotes. My opinion doesn’t matter in the grand scheme and take everything with a grain of salt, but the scientific community should have higher standards.
