> Saleh showed compassion and that may have been a reason why he ended up dying in the end.

Yes, that's exactly what happened.

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.
Likely because the IBM PC project was a very rushed job, by IBM standards. It was built rather quickly using as much as possible off the shelf hardware and software. Due to the buacr bureaucratic nature of the company of the time, the project was largely kept from the rest of the company. That's why they outsourced DOS

When the project started, they were way way behind in the home PC market
This doesn't make any sense - it's possible to teach children remotely. It is not possible to be a nurse remotely. The two situations are not remotely (pun intended) similar.
Take a look at how mRNA vaccines work, and how they came to be. It is still mind-blowing to me.
One, it depends where.

And two, nurses get paid quite well maybe 3x as a teacher as teachers. Why would teachers risk their lives for barely nothing?
The headline was indeed more inflammatory than the facts of the article. It seems like the media wants people to panic.

Yes, I know several documentary filmmakers whose films eventually came out on Netflix after years on the film festival circuit.

They all have high hopes for their films, and Netflix pays a maximum of $50k for a documentary, one-time, no royalties. So it is always the fallback consideration, while a distributor who thinks they can make a lot more, with royalties, is always the hopeful pick.

So it takes years of trying to recoup what is often a few hundred thousand dollars by playing in festival circuits and sometimes limited on-demand streaming distributors.

Then, finally, they almost all give up and take Netflix's money (and long-term exclusivity). If they wait too long, it often isn't even $50k, so it's all a big gamble.

Of course, everything is changing now that there are no film festivals and theaters are closing permanently every day.

Not to mention it'll be years or perhaps decades before we completely understand the lasting effects of infection. Many survivors might be looking at something like post-polio syndrome or worse.

Ha! "being suicided" I like what you did there.

> Sure, it's not like Russia or the CCP and you're not in danger of being suicided if you uncover some high level dirt but nobody really ever gets punished when obvious corruption gets proven so I have no idea how they always manage to looks so good in the corruption statistics.

That's the thing. The statistics are not untouched either. It's a rather pervasive thing, this corruption.

I also agree with the sentiment, that they do not really get punished. When have I read the last time, that some politician with hundreds of thousands of € of unregistered side-income is put in jail, like any merely normal citizen would for such a hefty sum? Oh wait, never.

Here's a question to consider: behind on the way to what, exactly?

If we keep on getting pandemics (something that's been expected for a long time) the whole baseline of how society operates will be forcibly disrupted. (a baseline people can be 'left behind' on the way to: I hear talk of students missing vital academic AND SOCIAL connections, which sounds like pre-pandemic talk)

If we have even moderate economic collapse, which is inevitable with the pandemic we do have (and the other, related upheavals going on) then the destination simply will not exist. We will be flung into a Star Trek future where the existing mechanisms of human survival no longer apply. It's possible the consequences of dropping 'behind' will mean the difference between becoming wealthy through business and social connections, and literally starvation and homelessness (rather than just doing poorly and getting by). However, in those conditions, all of society collapses and the wealthy have no place to be anymore. Wealth depends upon the existence of a society that can support it.

In my opinion there is no possible benefit to pretending it's possible to go 'back to normal' in any sense, and it's on us to envision what comes next. 'Normal' is never coming back. It's already gone forever, so it's time to decide whether we want human beings to survive or not.
A lot of species would collapse with humans.
Well, they were defending the freedoms of South Vietnam, which was a sovereign republic which was being invaded by another country. They were resisting international Communism, which had a goal of establishing Communist governments in every country, to include the United States. So by defending South Vietnam from its invader they were defending the United States.

It's entirely relevant to the parent comment who was specifically talking about kids dying from being sent back to school.

> Strong statement: dumb kids are better than dead kids.
Would you share the plans you have in store to help them cope better with our society?
>why do you think schools would purchase sanitation machines and tens of thousands of N95 masks?

Because the alternative of telling parents that their kids are either not going to school or will have to attend from home is a worse option to some school districts.

Schools are on some level accountable to the communities they serve. If the community wants to blow a five figure sum so that parents can have their kids in "daycare with learning" and be freed to go back to work then I see no reason the school or municipal government couldn't make that happen.

There's tens of thousands of schools in the US. They're not all operating under the same constraints and likewise the decisions they make with regard of if/when/how to reopen are gonna have a lot of variation.
They bought Nokia, and had a presence in every Att/Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile store.

Microsoft tried hard, and kept trying long after it was clear to most of the market that they didn’t have traction. The owners of Windows phones were some of the most vocal champions at the time too. They legitimately made good but unpopular products at the time.
I think you're right on that this is a submarine article pushing people to keep the buying market up. My wife and I were flabbergasted when we checked out various online home estimates for our properties and they had gone up. We had fully expected their estimated value to go down 10-20% and then we'd have to wait several years for their value to slowly climb back up.
LA’s teachers union issued calls to defund the police and limit charter schools (AKA competition and accountability for teachers) as part of their reopening plans so I’m not sure that health is the only thing in play. It seems like large numbers of teachers are just openly exploiting this crisis for political and personal gain.

Without going into numbers all I can say about US vs Europe: for people with low income,Europe is much much better. For middle class, it boils down to some difficult choices( kids, education, leisure) and is probably equal. While upper middle class or highly paid professionals have it better in the US.

Interestingly, similar access was used in 2009: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2010/06/twitt...

I wonder if this attack was facilitated by some security measures being relaxed to allow work from home.
Maybe. I think the major problem is there is not a compelling childcare alternative that's ready to take over if the schools don't open.

I also think it's a "tale of two cities". There's a lot of political will to reopen the schools in rural areas that haven't been as deeply impacted by the virus itself. And rightly so - the risk in rural upstate New York is much lower than in Flushing, Queens. It's probably wisest to address this at a local level.
The Idea Factory is a good intro.
20 years ago knowing CSS’s inheritance and tree traversal structure was critical to finish sites that worked flawlessly across all browsers. There was a lot of beauty in it, so much so that borrowed some ideas from CSS models for the architecture of the custom template system behind the CMS that powered CNN and a number of other large media sites with many sub-properties.
The new factor that might tip things is more acceptance of remote work.

You say you understand the risk. Do your kids have a say in this? It's their lives on the line. Would you respect their decision if they insist they are unwilling to go to school in person?
So do Android devices, I'm using a Samsung SIII from 2012 as 'work phone' when doing rough work on the farm etc. The device runs Android 9 (LineageOS 16), I have not felt the need to update it to 10 yet. It has a user-replaceable battery but since it still lasts for about 2 days of normal use (playing around 8 hours of audio per day) I have not yet replaced it. I did put in a larger microSD card to support a larger off-line audio library. Neither would be possible with the iPhone, no matter which version.
The difficulty was not discovering it but implementing it. The DOM was not built for abstractions like components -- it's a fundamentally global, imperative API.

- Burp Suite Pro: MitmProxy, Postman, ZAP just don't compare. The extensions API and library are top notch and the community is really thriving atm. The only downside that I can think of is that occasionally a release will suffer from what seems like a memory leak.

Maybe it is different in Korea, but in the U.S. the real problem with wireless networks is coverage. Upstate New York alone has cell phone dead spots bigger than some European countries.

If 6G lets you sit in (only) Washington Square Park and watch a hologram or fill up an 18 TB external hard drive it is only going to have limited impact.

The backstory of the backlash against 5G is that the only story less plausible than "5G causes COVID-19" is that "5G has benefits for consumers."
It's a fascinating read IMO. The book edition starts with introductory notes by Warren Weaver that really drive the point of how broadly applicable Shannon's theory is:

"The word communication will be used here in a very broad sense to include all of the procedures by which one mind may affect another. This, of course, involves not only written and oral speech, but music, the pictorial arts, the theatre, the ballet, and in fact all human behavior. In some connections, it may be desirable to use a still broader definition of communication, namely, one which would include the procedures by means of which one mechanism (say automatic equipment to track an airplane and to compute its probable future positions) affects another mechanism (say a guided missile chasing this airplane)."

You can also tell this was written around war times.

I'm not against JavaScript (or any other languages running in the browser for that matter). Ironically, when I started doing this I was a full time frontend dev.

For me this was just a "hack" to significantly improve my browsing experience. While I'm not advocating people doing the same, I disagree with the sentiment that absolutely everything is an app and static documents being an archaic concept.

One of my gripe is with people claiming that the absolute priority is the user and their experience, while all they really care about is conversion numbers and how quickly the devs can churn out new features.

And the other aspect is the same why I don't like this image so popular with product managers

https://blog.crisp.se/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Making-sens...

While I do get and agree with the main point they are making, the image also implies that the more complex a product is, the better. But a car is not inherently better, more useful than a bicycle. The latter will outperform it in many use cases.

I see it the same with websites/apps. If you are building an browser based photoshop alternative, by all means throw all the shiny tools and frameworks at it, I'm willing to let it load a little and I'm not expecting it to work blazingly fast on a 50$ phone and a spotty 3G connection. But for a textual content based website, maybe consider letting the user just hop on and get going.

And I do think framework independent web components are the way to go for this btw.
Florida is really thinking outside the box. Schools will have no problem opening up if children have herd immunity. This is the type of creative thinking school administrators have been looking for.

An article terribly light on details - what's their testing strategy? If it's completely random statewide, then it's very alarming. If not... it's less alarming. I have to wonder if children

a) are better at catching it (but not better at spreading it) than adults

b) have a larger window in which they "test positive" or

c) parents are the ones infecting children - that is to say that parents and children both test positive for the same duration of time, but parents get it and get over it first.

In both those cases exposure is much different.

You have to use the search feature to look for tweets and then look at the parent tweet ID. This is what bots like threadreaderapp, etc do.

The home was assessed at over a quarter of a million dollars, for both taxes this year, and by an independent assessor when we refinanced.

I'm saying I have a decent home, but that amount of money is unrealistic. It cost $100,000 to build, 11 years ago. I cannot be convinced it almost tripled in value, in any realistic market, in 11 years.
What are the odds of a nurse and doctor with full PPE dying from COVID?
Appeal to authority, not a real argument.
There are 74 million children <18 in the US. [1]

I don't know why people are downvoting you. The hacker news karen-signal has been activated I guess.
Thanks for sharing your learning path and congrats to your success. There are so many great resources out there that it's possible for anyone to become an expert. Unfortunately, people like you who are willing to put in the hard work seem to be the minority. All of your success is well-deserved and props to you. Just like you said, most gravitate towards the easy-to-understand videos and blogs instead of confronting their gaps in knowledge. I've had the same experience with giving advice - anything that looks like it requires focused work (solving textbook problems!) or is unsexy is readily ignored in favor of the latest hype demo or high-level framework.

> It was primarily driven by the need to solve problems for autonomous systems I was creating.

I wonder if your success also had something to do with the fact that you had a specific problem you were trying to solve. Did you feel that your specific problem put everything you were learning into context and made it easier to stay motivated?
> And that the US were the invading force.

No, the North Vietnamese were the invading force. They invaded South Vietnam, and after the Paris Peace Accords they invaded it again and conquered it.

I wouldn't conflate a clickbait headline on a single article by a single website into a widespread conspiracy by "the media" to spread panic.
Living density doesn’t really matter. The virus spreads in indoor common areas like supermarkets, bars, restaurants, etc. These are just as dense in rural areas, maybe more due to lack of delivery.
I've heard medical professionals opine that they're safer at work than they are at the grocery store now that they have adequate PPE along with well designed and properly followed procedures.
I don't know if they're at more or less risk and I don't know the stats on how many of them have chosen not to work, but if I had to guess I'd say that nurses feel a sense of duty as part of their chosen line of work and that grocery workers are easier to replace for those that chose not to work.
Considering how influential the car industry, including the companies owned by the state, is, it doesn't make a difference.
