This is the actual blog post title but it is clickbait. Also this is HN - people have heard of Nim.

Why is this even a discussion we're having? Yes, literally anybody would have had a better response than what we got. Just looking at the current state of the US vs practically any other country in the world shows how cripplingly bad the response has been from the current administration.

Sometimes, I really hate the people in this country.
There is starting to be competition to the YT monopoly. You may want to consider subscribing to Curiosity Stream and Nebula:

Some content creators on YT (such as Legal Eagle, etc.) are also now on Nebula. $15 USD per year right now. Apparently they don't have to worry so much about de-monetization, however that works.
Maybe 30k isn't worth it, but when your entire family's access to (non-financially-ruinous) health care is held hostage by your employer, it's a harder decision to make.
> Having government direct a mobilization is not acceptable.

Then you would expect divergent performance in the D-controlled states (eg. California) vs the R-controlled states (eg. Texas), no? So far, I see all types of states having similar outcomes.

I'm no fan of our current leader, but let's be honest Obama failed to properly launch a simple website for his signature initiative[1]. The problem is much deeper.

You carry on the "draconian measures" until the virus is unable to spread and dies out. It's not magic. It spreads through human contact. Reduce contact you reduce transmission.

You are in the same camp as Trump because you're spouting clueless crap as though it's authoritative.

I'm perfectly happy to be "not participating in the conversation" because your conversation is moronic bullshit.
If you're trying to tell me that you think we wouldn't be better off with a leader that said this was a present and real threat and put out a mandatory mask order back in Feb/March, shut down travel and enforced travel quarantines, used the Defense Production Act to create and deliver PPE where needed, didn't confiscate PPE from states and re-sell it to the highest bidder, didn't publicly contradict the pandemic response team and CDC, implemented an effective national testing and contact tracing strategy, etc, then I'd say you're not here for an honest dialogue.
> studies have shown

This (and the studies in the OP) should be taken with a grain of salt; there is a replication crisis in science, and psychology is one of the worst-affected fields.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#In_psycholo...

In some attempts at replication less than 50% of studies were reproducible, indicating that they were either p-hacked or simply badly designed. Priming results seem to be particularly flimsy.

Texas is its own animal when it comes to hunting. There is little to no public land, so everything is private, and 99% of all hunting is done from a blind or a stand where they "hunt" over bait piles. I am not judging, I have lived and hunted there, I am just sharing how it is different than many people conceptualize of hunting.

As for using an AR on hogs that is true. That is technically varmint hunting where there is no limit on the number of animals taken and the goal is to mow down as many as possible.

Nice. One suggestion: Automatically position the nodes. There are algorithms for this, like dagre[1]. That would also mean you could let people create connections by dragging from one node to another, rather then having a special handle to make connections.

It depends on what you mean. There is absolutely no historical basis for the biblical exodus from Egypt of Jewish people. That said, when the hill people composed their history into the story that would eventually become Genesis and Exodus, they probably drew from some vague stories about the Hyksos occupation of parts of lower Egypt. The Hyksos were almost certainly Canaanite, or one of the other peoples the hill people (who would become the Jews) displaced when they conquered Israel.
Has there been any districts/states/counties that have strictly forbid teachers from choosing to wear a mask?? I'm unaware of this but would find it terribly cruel.
Can't you just cast the entire screen?
I think we're talking past each other. I'm specifically referring to situations where a cop has to subdue someone else, and what they're allowed to do to accomplish this. If you're at a size and/or strength disadvantage with someone who is willing to kill you to win the fight, taking their back and applying a rear-naked choke is one is the better options I can think of. It makes it much more difficult for them to reach for your gun, strike you, and the blood choke will eventually cause temporary unconsciousness where you can properly restrain them with handcuffs.

I see lots of people saying cops shouldn't be allowed to use chokes, but they never provide a reasonable alternative. I'd rather see cops using chokeholds than shooting unarmed people.
HN really needs to be more aggressively critical of comments like these, that try to construct arguments on ideological foundations without any deeper investigation of the relevant facts.

First, production capacity is not available, as the VP of Prestige Ameritech tried to explain to everyone months ago [1]. The equipment required to manufacture suitable PPE is big and expensive and there isn't enough demand to offset the capital or the maintenance costs for the equipment, except when there's suddenly a pandemic and everyone wants PPE yesterday.

Despite this, Prestige Ameritech -- having foreseen this scenario a long time ago and spent over a decade begging different administrations to prepare for it -- offered to ramp up production early this year. The Trump administration said no [2]. The issue has now been made even worse with everything reopening nationally, which has not only caused a huge spike in hospital demand for PPE, but has also caused a huge spike in demand for masks specifically [same article].

And these are just the immediate, short-term, direct issues that should be easy for outsiders to grasp. There are many other related, harder-to-solve problems:

> The blame, experts agreed, goes beyond any single person or agency but is the culmination of decades of change in the nation’s manufacturing capabilities, a worldwide shift in how goods are delivered and the country’s long battle with medical costs. Warnings about how these factors set the stage for shortages during a worst-case scenario went unheeded, leaving the country unprepared for a pandemic.

> By the time the coronavirus arrived, it was too late. The nation was left with massive shortages and a ruptured supply chain that won’t be an easy fix. [3]

Furthermore, prices did rise dramatically, and -- gasp! -- this did not magically fix the supply chain [4].

Allowing unregulated price gouging would not (and did not) change the supply shortage. It would have just been a pinata party in the shape of the US, and would have left front line medical workers without necessary PPE while wealthy people hoarded supplies.

An effective, less corrupt federal government could have dramatically increased PPE supply just by taking the pandemic seriously at the start and putting competent people with relevant expertise in charge of oversight and response. There still would have been shortages, but they would have been far less severe and they would largely have been resolved by now.

Media has done a great job at fear mongering. People aren't realizing that kids not being able to go to school means the child abuse numbers are through the roof and they aren't even getting caught or reported. There are safe ways of achieving schooling without putting older teachers at risk.
Oregon law seems straightforward:

ORS 162.367:

(1) A person commits the crime of criminal impersonation of a peace officer if the person, with the intent to obtain a benefit or to injure or defraud another person, uses false law enforcement identification or wears a law enforcement uniform to give the impression that the person is a peace officer and does an act in that assumed character.
(2) Criminal impersonation of a peace officer is a Class C felony.
...
(3) As used in this section:
...
Law enforcement uniform” means clothing bearing words such as “police,” “sheriff,” “state trooper” or “law enforcement,” or clothing that is an official uniform or substantially similar to an official uniform of a law enforcement unit that would make it reasonably likely that a person would believe that the wearer is a peace officer. [1993 c.243 §2; 2005 c.259 §1]

ORS 133.005:

(3) “Peace officer” means:
(a) A member of the Oregon State Police;
(b) A sheriff, constable, marshal, municipal police officer or reserve officer or a police officer commissioned by a university under ORS 352.121 (University police departments and officers) or 353.125 (Creation of police department and commission of police officers);
(c) An investigator of a district attorney’s office if the investigator is or has been certified as a peace officer in this or any other state;
(d) An investigator of the Criminal Justice Division of the Department of Justice of the State of Oregon;
(e) A humane special agent as defined in ORS 181A.345 (Humane special agents to enforce animal welfare laws under direction of law enforcement agency);
(f) A regulatory specialist exercising authority described in ORS 471.775 (Service of subpoenas) (2);
(g) An authorized tribal police officer as defined in ORS 181A.680 (Definitions for ORS 181A.680 to 181A.692); or
(h) A judicial marshal appointed under ORS 1.177 (State plan for security, emergency preparedness and business continuity for court facilities) who is trained pursuant to ORS 181A.540 (Certification of judicial marshals).

There is a separate definition of "Federal Officer." A Federal Officer is not allowed to wear clothing bearing the word "Police", because they are not a police officer.

Impersonating a police officer is a class C felony, carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Curious. Is there anything stopping individual states from doing this? Surely a federal system should enable individual states to act independently to some extent. They must have their own budgets and are to determine how resources are allocated. No?
Hmm. I was hoping for something I could play with.
Hi HN, I'm the author of this piece (Ethan Weinberger). I wrote this originally as a set of notes for myself when brushing up on concepts in information theory the past couple of weeks. I found the presentations I was reading of the material to be a little dry for my taste, so I tried to incorporate more visuals and really emphasize the intuition behind the concepts. Glad to see others are finding it useful/interesting! :)
Not in the 1.0 spec, but 1.1 brought modules. For example, MathML can be used as an XHTML module.

Mind you, there isn't exactly a 1:1 mapping between modules & web-components, with the former being 20 years old at this point.

Not sure if it's appropriate but here's my own take at a very terse restatement of Shannon's original paper [1]:

I recommend everyone that's interested to read Shannon's original paper. It's one of the few examples of an original paper that's both clear and readable.

No, they aren't, because they expel problem students, into the public system. Even if admissions are lottery-based, expulsions are not.

Imagine two groceries. One that has to, by law, serve every kind of customer, and one that is allowed to throw out shoplifters, drunks, people high-out-of-their-minds-on-meth, etc.

Which one of these will provide better groceries for lower prices?
One of my favorite subreddits is /r/savedyouaclick where people go through big awful articles like that and summarize the whole thing in a line or two. A surprising number never even answer the question in the title, spending the entire time off on tangents.
Yes, it's not written into law that the federal government has the specific power to drag kids back into classrooms and arrest people not wearing masks.

Do you think they have no levers to pull to affect policy from a federal level other than physically forcing people to do things? I'm not really sure what your point is.
Fwiw, the relatively few creators who are talking about it publicly tend to agree that cpm is (much) higher for premium users than users monetized through ads. So if you want creators to get more money, paying for premium is better than watching ads.
Must-Follow Developer Thought Leaders
Well, that's why I qualified with "...to the greatest extent possible". It's not always possible, or practical. Just a good rule of thumb.
I absolutely believe it is ideologically driven.

HN has never been a site to shy away from political flamewars. You can look back through the various posts we have on China here where people rightfully claim the government in China has been responsible for various atrocities. Those threads fall along similar political lines and there's no real debate to be had, yet they still survive [1]. Hell, we can even talk about the recent threads on Trump [2] to see similar threads explode in popularity and make it through unflagged.

But we have a very obvious instance of something that all sides should be able to agree on, which is the feds picking up people off the streets without identification or recourse. This shouldn't even have political contention because both the left and the right should be able to agree it's a Bad Thing. Especially here on HN where there's a running trend of anything that involves censorship or rights being taken away [3] [4] [5] [6] gets massive amounts of traction but a story of very obvious government overreach ends up getting flagged.

This isn't to say that I think all topics are driven like this. As you've linked before, there are various discussions on police brutality made here on HN. But I've noticed those threads also go through significant periods of being flagged or pushed off the page until there's enough users to vouch for it or vote it up to bypass those flags. Which is to say I firmly believe stories nowadays are being flagged not on the basis of discussion but because of ideological reasons even if there are a few users using flags as it is intended. Otherwise why do those other stories explode in popularity considering they have the same levels of political flamebaiting?

AI Doesn't Replace Doctors–It Makes Them Better
Even in a world where Apple does not prevent YouTube alternative clients in its app store, it would probably prevent alternative clients for its own services.

Or, an app that would go as far as doing such deviant things as providing its own custom web engine and allow an iPad 2 to remain relevant and useful in 2020.
Isn't it obvious from the second photo that the attacker is a Korean girl named Chae Won? There you go, case closed. Give me the next one.
CDC estimate, just 1 week ago, before this catastrophic correction, was 0.25% or something similar. MONTHS ago we had the results from a huge Spanish study that put the mortality rate at around 1% and it was perfectly coherent with the Italian and New York studies.
Why should we believe their current estimate when we have multiple results that actually give us a pretty high confidence of the actual mortality rate instead of looking at what seem like completely random figures?
> Implementing a naive subset of the algorithm

... and suddenly, a wild "overflow" and "text-overflow" appeared.

> Transform order absolutely matters. Any attempts to coerce order into a standardized sequence means developers have to account for this information.

What I meant is that the CSS specification for the new CSS transforms Level 2 has a fixed transformation matrix and order in which the properties are applied - whereas legacy "transform: rotate() scale() translate() ..." did not do this, and therefore was overly complicated.

In the new specification the transform order does not matter, because the order in which "translate: ...", "rotate: ...", "scale: ..." and "offset: ..." are applied is specified and cannot be changed. See [1]

PS: I'm talking about CSS transforms level 2, not level 1. I assume you are talking about level 1. "translate: 13% 37%" is a property whereas "transform: translate(13%, 37%)" was the legacy method.

Personally, I prefer CSS transforms level 2, because they are implementable in an easy manner. Having to write a complex compositor isn't an easy task, especially on mobile.

I think you're pretty far off from what I was talking.

I wasn't encouraging infecting everyone intentionally.

I was noting the ongoing scale of effort required to protect everyone you keep a large % of the population unexposed.

>We should be assuming that immunity doens't last long and basing all policies on that assumption until proven otherwise.

I don't think that assumption makes sense at all with modern medical science.
I know it's late to respond to this, but I just want to say thank you for offering the opposite perspective. I can only say it was a life-changing improvement in my case and in most of the cases that I have read about. I do want to clarify that I wasn't advising anyone to get medicated immediately; I just offered my perspective and a link to more information.

I agree that we should be focusing more in individualized treatment and not attempting to adjust everyone to some averaged version of 'normal'. Tbh, if I could find a way to live comfortably in a profession that I enjoyed, which didn't also require 'neurotypical' focus, I would drop the medication as well. I do enjoy being able to focus on things which would normally be near impossible for me otherwise, but I certainly feel less creative and mentally adroit when medicated. It's a difficult trade-off at times, but in my current circumstances, it's one I simply have to make, as nothing else works(including meditation, pomodoro, etc.).

In any case, it makes me happy to hear that you have found a solution that works for you.
yes exactly plus there are some things not about the language itself but the whole foundation backing it up, it lacks marketing and advocacy. It looks appealing but given that lack of marketing and popularity, it needs to have A LOT OF advantages to still be considered a contender in mainstream production environments which it fails to achieve since it doesn't really have a whole lot of advantages to it ( I'm just saying there aren't as many to back up for the flaws of it's foundation ). Hence, I don't dislike Nim at all but I don't find it good either, I find it alright.
I think, since the assignment is typically done by a medical professional (at least for recording a birth certificate), the assumption is that the gender is either a quickly fixed clerical error or reflective of a phenotype that presents as sufficiently male/female to convince a professional.

"Convincing a professional" is a reasonable proxy for biological sex, given that the cases that would fool a medical professional are in many (most?) cases sufficiently ambiguous that a reasonable person could take either side for what the biological sex is.
Note: if you're building your whole page on top of a library, a larger library isn't necessarily bad.

If a library is larger because it does more, useful things, and this means you have to write less and/or smaller components, in a complex app the tradeoff is probably worth it.
Umm, or one could just buy YouTube premium?
It sounds like the sort of shady ads you would get on torrent websites or image boards.
This argument is unconvincing and really annoying. I don’t care about the calculus other people had to go through to have children in other times because I’m not them. Every human makes decisions based on the pressures they experience in their own life, pointing out that times were worse elsewhere is just annoying pedantry.

And of course, part of my point was I’m dubious about having a kid in America. As in, I’d be open to going expat and raising a child somewhere I think is safer and more stable.
