Do you live in or near downtown Portland? Because I do, and I can assertively state that the rule of law had not broken down prior to the arrival of federal agents.

Walking around downtown recently and finding little more than a single broken window and an "I'm hatin' it" spray-painted on a McDonald's makes this kind of fearmongering comment truly laughable.
Criticism like this essentially boil down to the adverts not being targeted enough. Lumping you in the wrong group, not knowing enough about your intentions, etc.
> Vaccination is likely an option for long term COVID-19 herd immunity.

To achieve herd immunity for measles at least 90-95% of the population need to be vaccinated. A disease like polio is less contagious, and 80-85% of the population would need to be vaccinated for herd immunity to work.
https://www.ovg.ox.ac.uk/news/herd-immunity-how-does-it-work

It suggests our immunity to SARS-CoV-2 does not last very long at all — as little as two months for some people. If this is the case, it means a potential vaccine might require regular boosters, and herd immunity might not be viable at all.

Can't get 80% people to wear a mask, much less seasonal vaccinations.

Dear lord it's 2020 CSS has its own grid system, it's CSS Grid, and it's both easier to understand and more flexible than adopting the old frameworks. It also has variables, pseudo-selectors (which, like with html elements, you can invent new ones to suit your purposes), and more.
They're doing something. Safari has automatically converted AMP links back to their original pages since iOS 11. It could stand to be a system-wide behavior for my own usage, but it'd be a little intrusive if you actually did want to share an AMP link for a specific reason if it automatically altered your clipboard or text messages.

Not yet, but that's one of the features we want to add after this initial release. Thanks for the feedback!
and got people worrying about such generic things instead of the problem.
It's not the fact that its hard or not, it's just yet another thing to keep in mind when you should be solving issues. Managing time is important, juniors no matter how smart, are juniors because they were not part of the industries before, they are getting the hang of having stuff in production and maintaining it, also managing time to ship, how much "generic" should the code be.

Go just makes you productive by removing lots of things to think about. I'm not saying that generics should or shouldn't be part of v1, I'm just saying that go lacking features to make juniors more productive is a feature
Personalized ads and all the awful tracking and profiling that goes with them are a plague and must be destroyed.
Cases are low and falling in New York, Sweden, London, Italy, Spain, despite varying and loosening social distancing measures. How do you explain that? Those places already have herd immunity. Serotesting for antibodies misses t-cell immunity and other forms of resistance, and variation in spreading patterns makes the herd immunity threshold lower than we thought. This is the only plausible explanation and nobody wants to admit it.
Saying this w/ extensive experience w/ Windows Server, Linux, and a couple of very old Unix flavors: Anything can be complex and byzantine if the developers put their minds to it.

Exactly, short-selling and writing a damaging article is kinda similar to Casino Royale... Just well, you don't try to explode a new airplane prototype while fighting off James Bond, you just write a damaging blogpost. The concept is the same though.
>All of the measures we are taking: masks, distancing, WFH, these are meant to slow down the rate of infection, not end it.

That's just not true. There are safety measures than can absolutely stop the spread of infection and given the chronology of a vaccine or treatment, even a slowdown of infections will save lives and prevent more infections. This is much is glaringly obvious.

Also, "what Florida is doing" is literally nothing. That's the problem.
> We’ve had riots, inaction by mayors, and ridiculous decisions by leaders in large metro areas for the past month.

Another factor that is (unexpectedly) making my family reconsider intown living is the school closure decisionmaking. If this turns out to be a 1 or 2 year ordeal, and urban school systems end up going full virtual for that time while (some) rural school systems are still fully face-to-face, then that becomes a huge factor for us.
The article says multiple times "They had barely made it half a block when an unmarked minivan pulled up in front of them."
CSS has very much caught up for layouting and styling web applications. If you don’t believe me, take a look at CSS grids.

Some films are really high resolution. Sure, the process is a lot more involved, but you could end up with images sporting the same resolution as today's top end full-frame cameras.
Non-personalized -- I want to give up as little personal data as possible. Even if they claim that it's anonymous, with enough browsing data and other signals (IP, browser fingerprinting, etc), it eventually becomes possible to identify you.
People really didn't know this? To be clear, I'm not criticizing anyone for not knowing this stuff, as nobody can be expected to know everything (and everyone was a beginner at one time). I'm just surprised that within this community, where a lot of us are employed to build websites, that the basics of CSS are still a mystery to so many of us. And I don't think that's the fault of any individual. But clearly our industry has a problem.

Granted, if you spend most of your time on the backend, and only dabble in CSS a little bit, or you're new to web development, it's completely understandable to be fuzzy on the specifics of CSS. But that doesn't explain all the comments from designers and front end people. So what's going on?

One possibility is that CSS is too difficult. Maybe? It certainly has it's flaws. And it was harder to use in the past. But I don't think there's a huge learning curve to understanding the difference between padding and margin, or between block and inline elements, is there? Don't we do that sort of thing in Word documents regularly?

Another possibility, then, is that the mental model of a document doesn't match the designer's expectations. But I don't think this alone explains why so many of us struggle with CSS. It's true that many of us are trying to make applications on a platform meant for documents. It's also true that magazine-style page layouts aren't a natural fit for a Word-like model of document editing. But the features described in this article don't seem related to that discrepancy - I can't see how ignorance about nth child or rem units relates to the mental model of documents.

Here's what I think is happening: We spend too much time building new tools and not enough time learning the tools we have. I've seen this with javascript as well. There were some recent posts here about vanilla javascript, and comments from React developers were surprised by some of the things JS could do on it's own. Now React has it's place of course, just like how CSS frameworks have their place. But I see a lot of people using these things as a boilerplate, instead of using them where appropriate. And thus, we don't take the time to learn how to do stuff with just HTML, CSS, and JS.

And granted, I don't think everyone needs to know that, just like how not everyone needs to know assembly. But if not enough people understand what's going underneath the hood, then the default response to any limitation is "abstract more" and everything grows more and more bloated.

I'm not sure how we solve this. I suspect the time pressures of our industries incentivize building things quickly, which leads to this problem. Another possibility is that the browsers take too long to adopt new standards, which leads people to seek out workarounds.

Has anyone here thought about this? Any ideas on what we should do?
I think the linked article is a good start. The explanations of CSS properties is very clear, and I like the examples.
Anecdotally I know a number of folks who have either moved out of or are seriously contemplating of moving out of city apartments and purchasing property in relatively rural locations--including people for whom this isn't something they even contemplated previously.
The "/s" means the user is being sarcastic.
Also just as easy to imagine that some people have low functioning cognition, and act on impulse when pressured or cornered.

All right. But one thing I don't understand. Australia has been talking about decoupling for a long time now. Now China is actually decoupling, shouldn't Australia be happy that they are getting what they want? Why did it suddenly turn into 'China is bullying us' the moment their wish came true?
> But then you have to keep containing it right?

If you don't have herd immunity, then you need to be continually surveilling for it, and when it's present, switch to containment.

Containment is easier when the number of cases is small though. If you get a handful of cases, contact trace and make general advisory news releases. If you get more than 20 cases, ask people to wear masks. If it gets worse, then you have to take bigger steps.
> I would expect you need the positive diagnosis for evaluating COVID19 treatment options for your kid.

From what I understand, the overwhelming majority of kids with covid do not require any treatment whatsoever, with only a small handful of anecdotes of kids having bad symptoms.

But Russia and these middle eastern countries are not on the same level. In my opinion, the end of oil will hurt Russia but won't destroy it. It has the will, and know how to do whatever is needed. Some of the middle eastern petro state on the other hand are family businesses masquerading as nation states; and they were able to keep that up only because of oil. Once that dries up, there's going to be interesting times ahead.
Yes, I know. But the OP was talking about the classic stuff.
The article includes benchmarks of PHP8 beta on AArch64.

Quoting: "PHP-8 plans to feature a new JIT compiler that optimizes the PHP byte-code in the Opcache. The JIT is currently developed on x86 and is based on Lua’s JIT. As Lua’s JIT supports ARM64, we work with PHP developers to enable and to tune the Opcache JIT in PHP-8 to get the best performance on AWS Graviton processors."
Accounts get hacked/phished all the time, it's not a big deal.
Diurnal storage via batteries or pumped hydro, long term storage via hydrogen. The combinations now optimize to 0% nuclear. Hydrogen round trip efficiency is low but the very low cost per kWh of storage capacity makes it win for long term storage.

That no location is currently 100% renewable is an obviously irrelevant point. I m talking about 100% CO2-free solutions. And new nuclear not sunk costed existing power plants.

I think it'd take some serious investment, probably using something like Electron, to make a combined Webmail and desktop mail client that's good and modern. But if someone did that, it'd be really interesting.

I sort of think Google should do it with GMail, in fact.
... don't they put ads in their operating system? But Google are the bad guys, ok
It’s only sampling bias if it’s not the conclusion I want.

Wow, that’s... much cheaper than I’ve seen. In my non-coastal middling-wealth state, you’re looking at $1500/m for an HSA family plan that still leaves you with tens of thousands in risk per year, and reducing that risk gets expensive fast (often it’s even worse, and you end up guaranteed to pay more per year than you might pay if something goes wrong under one of the cheaper plans)
I'm sorry, but if you take financial advice from HN you will end up poor. Actually, I'm not sorry because you are soliciting financial advice from HN which I would treat as a red flag in my life akin to waking up naked in a field covered in blood but without any personal injuries.
You nailed it. I've had personalized ads disabled for years, and a few years back I switched it back on to see if it's any better.

At the time I was shopping for a Pebble smartwatch and kept checking the site if it's on sale, because Pebble had a tendency to do short-time discounts without actually announcing them. After a few times, almost every Google ad was for "Pebble Smartwatch". It not only wasn't useful, it was annoying.
Maybe a stupid question, but is this sort of data still shared (with Facebook) if you’re not a Facebook user...?
If anything it primarily doesn't have anything to do with Covid. I remembered this article from 3 years ago[1] already discussing the renewed hollowing out of American cities, mostly tied to cheaper gas prices and aging millenials following the recession and the shale revolution.

You work in security. Sad.
I 100% support your view IF they get smarter about protecting teachers and staff (masks, at a minimum). I would love to buy my wife a fogger so she could be sure her room was disinfected properly at the end of every day. Of course they are sold out and it's likely someone would complain about that, too.
Somewhat disappointed that this isn't about playing Kerbal Space Program
Apple is a bit naive. How will they block adtech companies fingerprinting TF out of users?

There's too much money on the plate. Companies such as Adjust have fingerprinting tech and announced this as one option against Apple's move. All GDPR compliant because they don't need to get user's approval but their customers need to. And do their customers ask for approval before fingerprinting? Isn't the approval not often mandatory for using the app? Or somewhere buried deep in the Privacy Statement and given afterwards? And if customers just fingerprinted without approval how would Apple ever find out that Appsflyer or Adjust just were used to fingerprint and to track you until you get your next iPhone?

If Apple was serious about privacy they would have detected and banned anyone using fingerprint SDKs. As sad this sounds for most users: Adtech won't die, Apple will rather make fingerprinting tech even stronger.
It seems like most of the personalized ad systems haven't figured out that if I just bought an item the last thing I need ads for is more of that item (or different brand/models of the same thing). If it kept track that you'd bought a bike and a headlight & rack but hadn't bought saddlebags, and then showed ads for saddlebags until you bought a set they'd be somewhat useful. Instead you just get ads for more bikes and headlights & racks like you're some sort of deranged bike collector.
Are 1/3 of children showing symptoms? That's terrible.

Edit: Sorry. I misintepreted parent comment.
I realize it's hard work, but yes, if numbers are in dispute, it's the job of the media to provide context as to why.
Apart from the privacy aspect already mentioned, I'd choose non-personalized to minimize their effectiveness.

Inherently ads are made to manipulate your behavior. I'd choose being manipulated the least possible.
I agree its a recent phenomenon but it's not just the virus. I was born in raised in the city. I remember the bad old days. I see what's happening with the far left and their want to gut the NYPD and I foresee it backsliding into the bad old days. Crime is already ticking up but it's too early to point at that and say it's happening. It's a longer term projection I am making.
At a company I joined recently (WPEngine), there's an app called 15five deployed internally, where every 2 weeks we're encouraged to single out some coworkers with "high fives", thanking them for whatever we want. Those are then visible to us and our managers (and by default are also shared publicly in a special purpose chatroom). I am really impressed that this is systematically implemented and encouraged throughout the whole company!
I know off the top of my head I think 5 people that decided to buy houses during lockdown. As I heard somewhere early in this, "Crises accelerate life." Largely these are people who were planning to buy / upgrade in the near term anyway.

Suddenly they had time on their hands and it seemed like the right time. Not to mention that interest rates are dropping through the floor.
It's aliens. They've realized if they use drones that people will blame governments or large corporations. /sarcasm

I'm in the architecture field. We work on single family, multifamily, clubhouses and student housing on a national scale with some of the largest builders in the USA. I can tell you that we are very busy with current and new projects in the pipeline. I can't explain what people are doing, this is just to give perspective from the architectural point of view.

I just spoke with a coworker who used to live in Chicago and moved to the suburbs. He said that homes in his neighborhood have been selling quickly and prices are increasing exponentially. The condo in the city he sold in February is the last to sell. Six are on the market.

GK3 is one of my favourite games ever.

I even took a trip to the city in France where the game takes place purely because of the game.

Not to mention it's also the game where Scott Bilas started experimenting with data-driven workflow that informed his work in Dungeon Siege and influenced Entity-Component-System architecture.

Also, there's not one, but multiple people trying to recreate the engine of the (very unsuccessful) game, more than twenty years after it was released. [1] [2] [3]

Anectdote: Since covid started, we refinanced after the federal government started juicing the mortgage market with more funds, and enjoyed a stock windfall.

On top of that, the multi—unit projects got paused, so subcontractors that wouldn’t talk to us in February are now giving us competitive bids.

Some of the stock is going into improvements that we would have done as remodels a decade from now.

Assuming we’re typical, the increase in starts on new construction is probably just a blip as the construction industry catches up with pent up demand.

I’m hoping (for the people building our house, and for out long term sanity) that it’s the beginning of a trend where commutes become less frequent, which increase the feasible maximum radius of cities increases. I could see it going either way.
Yes that is exactly the case. Often judges do order witnesses who express reluctance to testify into custody so that they can be sure that they will show up for the trial.
This sounds like a good old coverup lol. Seriously? The assistant? Because he stole tens of thousands of dollars and got a payment plan setup for it? And then what, he goes and uses an electric saw to dismember the body? Right. That's probably how it happened.

It's much more likely that the assistant was either blackmailed or paid a much larger amount by a 3rd party to carry this out, potentially stealing the money from him to provide an alternative motive. The way the crime was carried out might be some signature card that people involved will recognized and see as a warning.
I think the point is that they weren't previously unemployed. In rural areas housing is vastly more affordable than urban or city areas. In my home town in West Virginia there are multiple homes and mobile homes with land in fair condition for < $100k.
> Lesson: report the crime to the police first. If you want to show compassion and keep the law out of your business, you can always refuse to cooperate with the investigation later, and they'll be obliged to drop the charges. But the perpetrator will know that they'll be at the top of the list if anything happens to you.

I hope we still live in a world where "have fallback measures in case other people are going to murder you" doesn't need to be at the top of our contingency planning. Obviously it was here, and that's tragic, but I think and hope that most of us shouldn't need to learn to anticipate this as a likely, or even plausible, response.
Or if it's sampling bias.
Tracking based advertising hasn't delivered on its promises. As a user, we're seeing more advertising than ever, and it turns out that seeing advertising for a thing which you shopped for and bought last week just isn't any better than seeing advertising that relates to the article I'm reading at the time. I'm also very skeptical that tracking based advertising actually works better for publishes either. Since the number of companies with good tracking data is so limited, the tracking companies (primarily Facebook & Google) have a near monopoly on user data and use that to extract more money out of advertisers, but the publishers see a decreasing fraction of that amount.
I would prefer "non-personalised" - simply because "personalised" means that people and companies I know nothing about know lots about me.
I think you mean uninhabitable.
