There isn't enough evidence of long term immunity to make herd immunity a sensible strategy. It's smeared by the media b/c it's way less preferable than the alternative of containing it like nearly every developed country in the world.

I'm not going to lie, the comment about "if they can use git" is the core of my problem with the arctic storage. I'm still wondering what the point is other than to make some meta point about how committed github is to preservation
My family got corona positive last month, around the same time my brother started having some neurological issues. The doctors after seeing the MRI did not detect any issues. The same was confirmed by other radiologists and multiple other MRI scans over the month. Yet he faces these issues: nausea,headache,confusion,weakness,ataxia (unsteady walk)
sensory changes, including numbness or tingling,trouble with vision (one eye doesn't move / change focus as much as quickly as the other eye ). All these issues point to a brain infection yet none is detected.
I once changed trains to take an express (skipping stops), realized I’d left my laptop on the first train, got off at the next express stop and waited for the slowpoke, and got my laptop!
I own a house in a tech hub. Because of the smaller inventory in the market it's propping up home prices in my neighborhood which otherwise should be decreasing slightly (trying not to doxx myself here)

My job will be wfh for the rest of the year.

I am considering selling my house to rent a smaller apartment further out of the city center, though still within commuting distance (albeit long commute).

Rent prices are falling, apparently, so my idea would be to rent and save money for a year or two before buying a house again once life comes back to normal.

Am I way off base with this thinking?

Closing costs on selling then buying again later may outweigh benefits of renting although I'm sceptical of that.

I estimate I can lower my housing payment buy $1200mo by renting instead of my mortgage.
These drones had Denver area defense contractor written all over them. I would guess Lockheed or Raytheon or Boulder based lab or company. They would not coordinate because 1. every project they do is classified 2. probably is some sort of mass surveillance tech that they would rather not advertise 3. Probably not sponsored directly by the military or deemed a weapons system, so no need to go through the hassle of testing on a military range (lets just drive a few hours outside town). 4. Didn't want to go through the hassle of dealing with the FAA and know that if the FAA seriously got involved they could just pull strings. 5. Don't care if they bother a few farmers and consider most of the area to be "empty"

Clearly the drones stopped because it was a limited term contract.

"The Mathematical Theory of Communication"

It's a surprisingly readable small paperback book. It's not a hard read if you have some familiarity with the basics of information theory. There aren't a crazy amount of equations or anything.

>This seems like the most logical way to combat issue, as opposed to hiding and hoping it goes away.

Logical if all that matters to you is numbers and money.

Lets not hide behind words. This logic mean death. You are conducting a blood sacrifice to ensure people don't have to alter their behavior.

If you're so gung-ho to get to herd immunity, how about you volunteer to be on the front lines?
Anecdotally, I know one family that just bought a plot of land in Westchester County (moving out of Manhattan). And this pandemic has accelerated my wife & my house hunt, though we were already thinking of doing it beforehand. But you're right - these are either land purchases or people thinking of buying a home, not actually doing it. There isn't enough time to have gotten through the surveying/planning/permitting process since coronavirus started, all of which proceed much more slowly since everyone is closed or working remotely.

Another possibility is that this is reflecting speculative demand. Developers who already own land and have plans drawn up accelerate the process, because they anticipate people will want to move out to the suburbs, and besides financing is cheap now. Whether this'll pay off depends a lot on how the situation evolves - historically pandemics have hit urban areas first but later migrated to the outskirts and then rural areas, and eventually nobody is safe.
Yeah, I don't think there are any issues with people moving to cities if they want to live there.

Just because there are protests, etc. going on doesn't mean the entire city is on fire...
Dunno about HF specifically but there are bacteria living at extremely low pH in highly concentrated acids from mine runoff at Iron Mountain Mine.

Did you actually read the Wiki page? There is a lot of context you are leaving out there.

Based on my reading this was not some grand conspiracy by a bank to silence a critic. It sounds like this man certainly did have some psychological issues and assaulted his wife multiple times. Due to his history and his behaviour during the following court case he was locked up in psychiatric care.

He did make allegations about a tax evasion scheme during the court case about the assault (and these were wrongly seen by the court as a sign of his psychological problems). But it's not like he was a whistleblower who was silenced through some made-up allegations.

The Wiki page also says that the "reported money transfers were not illegal per se", so this isn't even a clear cut case of tax evasion.

Clearly a lot of things went wrong in this case and he was partially acquitted and compensated later on. But I don't think this is any evidence for systemic corruption in the entire country.
That's not how it works. If you had 100% immunity in the young, the old would still be at relatively similar risk because of homophily in social networks. That is, old people spend most of their time with old people. Herd immunity for the general population requires a homogenous mixture of social interactions across those infected.

Keeping the vulnerable protected sounds good and all, but in the case of, say, children, the vulnerable is the teaching staff.

I live in downtown Portland. A few bad apples breaking some windows does not justify the federal government overstepping their bounds and surprising political activism.

Things were drastically improving until the Federal government showed up in full camouflage uniforms and started antagonizing people.
In my experience, people in lower density areas leave thier house less than people in major urban centers. Additionally, the densities aren't the same even indoors. Again ancedotally, but the average number of people packed into a cheap restaurant in the city versus the deep suburbs or smaller town averages way less.

I'm still using a 6s Plus 128GB. I keep thinking about getting a new one, but this one still works great. Haven't found a slow app yet. Everything is still responsive. Screen is still scratch free. And it's going to get iOS 14 this year. Even though it was relatively expensive when new, it's probably been one of the best values in tech I've ever seen. And yeah, it's a daily driver. Use it for everything.

I can't speak for the article here, but at least some local media in my country wants to generate clicks and views, so the more horrifying the headline (but also the article contents), the better.

See the recent matter on antibody decline: few if any got it right (although it can mean a waning immune response it is not enough to tell if it is happening).
My experience with lay practitioners (such as myself) is that you may have to try a few different things to find something that works while living a regular life. The Mind Illuminated, the Sedona Method, Louise Hay, the work of the stoics, yoga, qigong, therapy, all provide different approaches to developing emotional intelligence and managing difficult states of mind. I did zen meditation for a decade and while it provided many benefits I still struggled with anger in my day to day life. Two months of reading about and applying the stoic principles completely changed that.
That is most certainly one component of it. Another is boiling water with burnt coal is still one of the cheapest ways to make electricity. Most of the US decline I would personally attribute to the massive switchover to NG from coal. If that price ratio flipped back around you would probably see a switch back to coal in the US.
This sounds like something Patrick Bateman, from American Psycho, would do. However, in the book/movie, he doesn't get caught and didn't do this act for financial reasons.
I mean we could be real real hippies and NAT IPv6. I really see so case for not doing this since people would still want to use private address space for internal networks bigger than their assigned public block.
> It's my civil right to not have my business looted

This is the only part I don't strongly agree with.
> I'm saying the risk is very low. The data clearly shown that for majority of cases it either asymptotic or only mild symptom.

The data also shows that 140k Americans died (probably many more if you take into account the excess deaths that have been recorded but haven't been linked to covid yet) and many more will suffer long term side effects.
The data also shows that Europeans countries almost completely curbed the epidemic and can _safely_ and _slowly_ reopen because they went through a real lock down.
If anything the data clearly shows that reopening anything in the US right now is suicide for thousands of people.

This situation will be a literal text book example of how to completely fail at handling an epidemic for the centuries to come, it would be comical if it wasn't for all the preventable deaths and suffering.
I don’t thnk the author’s recommendation to include

in your reset is generally a good idea. It will break some common uses of images, for example to hold bits of math inline with the text when you are not using mathjax. If you want a displayed image, you should wrap it in a <figure> tag, which will give you a block element.
Don't think its a good idea to act like China is a isolated nation like the soviet union.
Lets see a guaranteed market is China + Russia + Iran + ASEAN seems like a good block amounting to almost 2.3 billion people.
China already has quiet a strong foothold in Africa with tech brands giving a potential 1 billion future customers.

If one thing the EU should worry about not turning into a Hotel Europe where people only go to visit instead of producing stuff.

it is possible -- it unfortunately happens to be part of my job description to do so

one of the sibling comments basically has it right. you can build it from the bottom up (where "bottom" is the deepest tweet in the thread you know about, one way or another).

let me tell you though, i am _very_ excited for this new API, because there is some absolutely horrible code i will be able to delete as a result of it
I don't think you are thinking about this correctly. Have you considered the impact of compound interest? You say it cost you $100,000 plus "a massive amount of sweat equity" . I don't know what you consider massive, but let's guess at $50,000 worth. That is, if you were paying market rates at the time to professionals, how much would they have charged, plus the cost of hiring them, plus the taxes you would have paid to have the money to pay them, etc?

Anyway, if we start with an actual "cost" of $150,000, you get to $250,000 with 11 years of compound interest at 5%. If we instead completely ignore your labor input, 11 years at 9% gets us from $100,000 to $250,000. Can you really not be convinced that "realistic market" might not have a 5% (or 9%) yearly increase in value? That's not to say it will always go up that much, but it doesn't seem unrealistic that it might.

The bigger question of course is how we determine "value". Is $250,000 for a house today any more "realistic" than $100,000 to build it 11 years ago? Not by any objective measure. They are both just numbers, determined by how much people are willing to pay, which in turn depends on how much they have in their bank accounts, which in turn depends on how much someone is willing to pay them, which (circularly) depends on how much someone else is willing to pay for something else. There's nothing "realistic" about any particular numeric value.
The desert is habitable by plants and other animals.

Not every desert is the Atacama. Deserts in places like Arizona and Utah have tons of life.
The problem is that there have been no large scale studies on those who were released from the hospital nor on those who were deemed 'not sick enough' to be hospitalized in the first place.

Hopefully TX, FL, AZ are used as a basis for some study as so many of those in the hospital now are young (ie, under 40).

You read like 100 posts and then your mind conglomerates them all into one "person" the "other HN poster".

Reality is that most of the good tech people are super weak and out of shape. Parents are sleep deprived and just get a boost from coffee and post something optimistic, etc.

Some side project they spent 100 hours on is just some CRUD app. The non-fiction books are just pop psychology stuff with 5 pages of ideas and 100 pages of trite filler.

Just blaze your own path, live healthy, take idea from this awesome community. Never compare yourself though, at least anymore than a surface comparison.
Totally agree! When I was in school, I took a logic class that used Boolos & Jeffrey's "Computability and Logic", which is a really great book. Chapter 2 is a very clear presentation of Cantor's diagonalization proof that there exist uncountable sets. It blew my mind.
The day the CSU is not the majority party in Bavaria anymore is the day freezes over. Only to melt up again when the new government starts scratching the surface of 70 years of CSU governance, friction heat of doing will be significant.

Things are different all over I guess. Our lumber stores are well-stocked where I live in the Midwest.

Also the Asian market had flour in piles of huge bags, when folks were making a run on the regular store. So I have flour with Asian writing on the bag.

They sell masks at store entrances now for 50 cents. No shortages to speak of. Eggs just went on sale $0.69 a dozen extra large.
Ah. Arc is just a script for submitting the patch from your working copy to Diffusion (like emailing to LKML). Technically you could paste “git diff” into the web UI.

Protecting the vulnerable has never actually worked. In theory it's possible, but it would require constantly testing nursing home workers that don't have the money to do this and an administration that hasn't shown the ability to support it. Every area that's had a significant level of spread has had issues where nursing home care workers brought in the virus from the community. The exception is Hong Kong where nursing home residents were quarantined in hospitals for significant periods. This presupposes the leadership to setup a system like this and the willingness of nursing home residents to be isolated for long periods of time. If we had either of those things we'd be able to contain the virus in the broader population.
My understanding is that the vault also includes instructions on how to access the stored projects. I would guess this has to at least explain the minimum ability to replicate git or understand git's format?

Out of topic. When I met my (now) wife on online dating. A lot of her friends actually noted her to be careful, because there are a lot of crazy people here (NYC). I agree with that notion.
The first paragraph says that there are only generic "police," patches on their fatigues. No badge numbers, nothing indicating where from, or anything beyond that patch.

I know someone might say that's technically marked, but, when you're being pushed into a minivan, that's pretty vague. I know damn near any american reading this will have been told as a child not to go along with a stranger just because they said they were police.

Both, he is quite your guy for that. Kind of the lobbying equivalent of SoftBank, as soon as he's involved, probability of things being fishy increased significantly.
I don't know why you talk about "base load". Base load is incompatible with intermittent energy sources. What you need is something that can be turned on and off to follow the current demand. Natural gas plants are generally used for this role.

I think it is unfortunate that many people are vilifying natural gas. It's almost as if they aren't aware that the main benefit of natural gas plants is that you can turn them off when needed. Grids have to become more flexible if they want a high percentage of renewable energy. It's not like natural gas is cheaper than renewables. The plants will only burn gas when necessary.

What is happening right now is that "Base load" (aka coal plants) is clogging up the electric grid in Germany. On some days you have a really good amount of renewables but the coal keeps running because it can't adjust quickly enough.

When you consider that thanks to the EEG surcharge the operators of renewable power plants still get paid despite producing no power you can see how this lead to the unreasonably high electricity prices in Germany.

This is not a problem with renewables though. The EEG is one of the most poorly though out political instruments to encourage renewables. Basically almost every energy intensive business gets an exemption so all the costs are borne by consumers. A carbon tax would have none of these issues. The coal plants would be shut down because they are bad for business.
Agreed. All I saw were various non-forks of "torvalds/linux" (e.g. raspberrypi/linux; why is this not a fork?). I removed it from my profile.

I have considered Canny honestly. Great product, awesome founders!

But the pricing is not that friendly for bootstrappers like me. Backlogs offers generous free plan for developers, which we all like. So pro plan, the pricing is flat $29/mo (billed yearly), no tracking users and usage.

All essential features will be included in the free plan as well, like collecting feedback, roadmap, changelog, dashboard, email notification, etc.

Integration wise, Canny did a good job on third-party apps integration, which right now we don't have any, but we will add more in future.
