> Instead, I like Svelte’s model which essentially allows you to write things this way, but have it result in light DOM, so that you can still do server-side rendering if you desire

I've never used web components before, and I use SSR a lot (ASP. NET Core) - are you unable to use SSR with all web components, or only those that use shadow DOM? What's the reason I can't just render an `<sl-whatever>` and render the `value` attribute at the server?

Apologies if I've misunderstood or got some of this wrong!
Looks like its a deterrent to someone using a Taser in a "bad" way:

> So in 1993 the AFID system was created. Now, when many Taser guns are fired, they disperse dozens of colourful anti-felon identification (AFID) tags, which resemble confetti and are printed with tiny serial numbers. It would be very time-consuming to pick all the tags up and so inevitably the police are able to find some and trace the (TASER) gun that was used.

stronger privacy restrictions are part of the value proposition of the Apple ecosystem. For at least some part of the market that is what draws them to purchase Apple products.
Plague and rabies are much more deadly diseases. Plague kills about 10% of victims with the best treatment, and rabies can be vaccinated against post-infection but is basically unsurvivable once symptoms start.
It's as simple as it sounds. Relying on a third-party means you're relying on a third-party.

If you're relying on a completely hosted webwallet, then you really don't know that they don't have access to your funds. If you use something like Electrum then there is less risk, but you're still relying on a third-party to relay accurate information to you about the blockchain, which could possibly open yourself up for attacks(albeit complex and likely limited in scope). Every new tool/service adds more layers, and means more trust of third parties is required.
>However, even $27k in Oklahoma would be enough to afford a small house in the suburbs of a city.

Sounds like I need to move to Oklahoma... I'm making about $44k in rural South Dakota but with the way housing prices have been around here the last few years, I am nowhere near being able to comfortably afford a mortgage (I can afford one, for a cheap, old, needs-a-lot-of-TLC-or-30-miles-out-of-town house, but not while also affording much else).
I can find you the same articles pre-2020 with the cause being influenza.
When you fire a tazer, along with the wires a bunch of confetti sprays out as well. The confetti has id numbers on it that can be traced back to who purchased it.
Definitely feels like the openai api. Looks similar to some examples they've published previously.
There are plenty of examples of distance learning working well. Assuming it is a failure seems willfully blind to me.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Why do you need a gun to write someone a speeding ticket?
I was forgetting storefronts, they might benefit from knowing a user is in the market for a good or service.

My thinking (probably wrong) is, if I am in the market for (to use the example someone else mentioned) a pebble smartwatch then I am probably going to look for the best price myself. No reason for storefronts to spend money putting their ads with their price up on unrelated sites and apps, if I'm going to search for a good price for free. It would probably be better just to buy and ad on the search term "pebble smartwatch" and advertise the price.
The platform may not allow a "rollback" but for the kinds of things we're considering there are multiple channels of communication.
To be clear, this is not about a random sample of children, but about normal testing of children suspected to have COVID-19. Rising test positive rates are a strong indicator of rising infection rates in the overall population (because increased testing won’t show a false rise in this metric). But the title reads as if a third of children in Florida are infected, which is absolutely not the case.
Agreed, Economist is quite good. Weekly publications tend to be more interesting in depth, I still find some of Businessweek's features to be worth reading. But I don't bother to keep up with daily news from most outlets as the SNR tends to be pretty low.
I am definitely convinced that there is something more to this story that we don't know about yet. Insider access like this is expensive - too much for the bitcoin they made. The direct messages of the accounts involved could be priceless. People really do talk about such private things over sites like Twitter, and it's all so low return for what is easily one of the largest blue check account breach incidents. The scale of this is too much to ignore to me.
To me it's more about trust regarding the data being gathered and what it is being used for. I care a lot more about how a company can misuse that personalized data to say sway an election.

If the data being gathered is purely to give me better recommendations for better targeted products then sure. If that level of personalization is restricted to just me as a user where I and only I can select the ad selection and that personalization remains on my machine.

The Facebook CA scandal demonstrates to me how frankly these companies are straight untrustworthy. I do not want political/security/insurance/job agencies getting anywhere near any of this data.
> "While SFUSD insists that its new approach does not compromise the rigor of its education, but ensures
that all students enter high school with the same mathematical foundation, many parents see the district’s new standards as a dumbing down of the curriculum."

So to ensure equality is to lower the bar? Isn't this going to create more inequality? We know that economically-challenged families would not, statistically speaking, be able to afford tutoring, so they depend even more on public school teachers to teach their kids. Yet the answer of the SFUSD was to push students less in school. Guess who will eventually suffer?

I find it insulting and outrageous.

I'm sorry to make you feel this way, I'm fine ignoring the typical customer that will not accept such an UX for the shake of the discussion, I'm fine with having unique labels even though that means that I would either have to store them in the DB, either rebuild them, for example, in the case of "<firstname> <lastname> (<email>)", I'm afraid a user could do a typo in-between selection and form submission, for example while opening the form on an existing object to modify another field (users do mis-click, and give me a call), in this case, should I be showing the input with the data that contains the typo so that the user can see it and delete the value and start over ?

Also I know users would be happier if I could display some kind of image along with the labels like an avatar, to make a form (boring by definition?) more lively. Do you really believe it was a mistake to make select fields accept a different label and value ? If not, then why don't the input+datalist do the same ?

And even then, what's the equivalent of a select multiple based on an input+datalist ? Please, forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand how to allow multiple selection with a datalist and an input and no JS, without having the user submit the form for each choice they want to add.

I to filter the datalist choices based on another field value without JS ? for example, a country field that would filter users.

How can I have a datalist of countries and a datalist of cities, so that you get to choose your city based on the country ? Do I have to omit the Country field and show 300k cities ? Do you realize how many cities are named "Springfield" ? The datalist would have to propose like 50 results at the time and the user would have to search through them (assuming their browser could load the 300k cities without crashing), wouldn't it be much better to first have a country and then state or region selector to make it easier for them ?

I'm not trying to create problems, I'm trying to find solution for problems that users actually have ... And I have a repo that does /just/ that with a very specific backend framework and has 1400+ stars so the problem seems pretty real to me ...

"You mean, we can actually buy ads on Snowboarding Websites, or in Print Magazines? We never thought of that, thanks for the deep insight HN commenter! Now the 'secret sauce' of digital advertisers is out of the bag! Right here on HN!"

I've been skiing all of my life and I've never bought a 'skiing magazine' and never visited a skiing website as far as I can mention.

(It's not 'creepy' to get ads for Snowboarding when you're on Twitter, than it is for anything else.)

There are very, very few venues for smaller companies to get the word out - the more efficient those communications channels, the better the products and services we would receive.

There is a massive 'mismatching' problem in modern economies, wherein consumer interests are not met by makers, because the 'matching', if you will is poor. If we could permanently line up people's interests with the right services and products at the right prices, unemployment would cater to zero.
There are a lot of people who don't use social media for news. Besides, sometimes folks want to educate themselves about a recent news subject that their social media feed hasn't surfaced for them so they'll search for additional information... often via Google.
Your response is also very confusing.

Foreclosed homes usually go on the market for a steep discount. Additionally widespread foreclosures would depress house pricing in general. The market will gradually price in reduced rent-seeking ability.

For a buyer, it may be a good option to wait a relatively short period for prices to depress rather than build a new home at this time.

Edit: Mentioned reduced landlord rent-seeking ability in response to @sombremesa’s question if rental properties would affect pricing.
But do Bain, McKinsey and BCG do the type of large implementations that places like Deloitte, IBM and Accenture do? That is, I thought their technology consulting practices were more along the lines of "We think you should move to the cloud, and here is how." and less of "We're going to build out a large benefits platform for you."
they aren't increasing exponentially.

at best, the delta in number of sales has gone up by an order of magnitude.

Damn! I wish I'd known about this in 2018 when I wrote a Lua dissector for Wireshark while trying to diagnose an outage. We had a custom in house server, with a custom protocol and no way to diagnose it. (don't get me started) So using tcpdump/wireshark to capture an analyze the failure was whatI took on.

It's incredibly powerful, and a useful feature in Wireshark. Being able to reload/rerun the dissector over packets was amazing and made development really quick and easy, especially in an emergency.

The wireshark docs though, as a bit rough to read, so have a walkthrough is great.

You are right. Population density appears to not really matter. Mask wearing and distancing appear to matter much much more.
Not so bad an analogy... Venezuela is suffering just so.
Cases are surging in Florida and Texas, not New York. New York's wave is past. When New York's wave was at its peak, hospitals and doctors there were absolutely maxed out. There were first hand reports from doctors and nurses on the front line who said as much. If they had not undergone a complete lock down things would have been much worse.

Now we see new waves popping up elsewhere and surprise, their hospitals are filling. Hospitals are having a great time in places where they took the virus seriously. New York did not take it seriously at first and they suffered. Now Texas and Florida are not taking it seriously and they are suffering as well. And you're suggesting that we can just let the virus run rampant and we won't see our healthcare system buckle?
My god you hit the nail on the head.

It's frustrating to try and read those articles. Even when they have an actual story to tell, but choose to interleave some sort of "B plot" all throughout the writing. I'm left guessing which pages I can skip and which ones are worth reading. Wishing they'd just put all the background info in a standalone section.
It depends. When I was a student, I did not have to spend a penny on medical biils, my wife got paid by the government for some courses (+ cost of rent etc) that would have costed us around 20K € at that time. Now that we are earning enough, I have no problem in paying back, so that others who need it will be also be able to achieve their dreams.
OpenSSL recently changed licenses to Apache 2.0, which is a unacceptable in some of the BSDs, which made the LibreSSL fork more valuable from a licensing perspective for them.

Tink isn't really a rename, but an API wrapper to prevent misuse that happens to use BoringSSL internally.
I didn’t move away from a bad situation at all. I liked living in Georgia. It’s just that I like living in the Bay Area better.

Also, one of the major reasons I like Redwood City is the almost constant sunshine and moderate temperatures. That has a really positive effect on my mood, especially during the winter. There’s no way to get that in the southeast short of altering the climate.

Home prices are inelastic even in normal times. There are large transactions costs, lots of paperwork and intermediaries, and for most people it is their main "investment" so they are loath to sell it at a discount.
Also, the Covid crisis has only been going on for about 6 months and there has been a number of large government interventions to avoid a financial crash. Most mortgage holders can get a deferral on payments simply by asking and if you are unemployed the increased UI benefits have made a big difference in keeping people afloat. I think prices may eventually come down, but this crisis is only in its beginning stage. I think it is simply too early to really tell.

However - even if everything goes awry and there are lots of defaults and a large migration out of cities, we could still end up with steady or rising real estate prices. Why? Because lower interest rates make it easier to service debt and rates are only going down.

I got my mortgage a few years back at what I thought was a killer rate - 4.25%, now I am seeing rates as low as 2.85%.
A simple example: The monthly cost of a $100,000 30 year mortgage at 4.25% is $492. The monthly cost of a $125,000 30 year at 2.85% is $517

Because of the change in interest rates I now have 25% more purchasing power at roughly the same monthly price. And that monthly mortgage amount is what really drives payment decisions. The sales price isn't so important - it's can I service the monthly payments, and with lower interest rates you can.
It was either the populist or the George Soros funded crook. I would rather vote populist.
DMT was quite niche back then and not substitutible for psilocybin as it’s not orally active. Much more likely to be a synthetic phenethylamine or tryptamine. Candidates back then would be DOM, DOI, etc.
It's worth noting that most kids don't have symptoms, and it's considered less worthwhile to test kids. So I'd assume the cohort of kids who are tested for COVID-19 are a heck of a lot more symptomatic than the child population at large (and that this is more exaggerated than the selection bias for adults who want a test).

Florida's positivity rate is flawed because many labs were reporting only positive results to the state database.

"Lab24 in Miami is listed as reporting 457 results — all positive."

"Lee Memorial, a large health system in Fort Myers, is listed as having three of its sites reporting only positive results."

Given that immunity disappears in a significant proportion of exposed people after a few months, natural herd immunity might be impossible.

Bang on. Around the time the US Govt issued the pandemic warning I was scrambling to get the information I needed to make adequate decisions about the safety of the public works crew I was managing. The COO of a local hospital was on the public works committee so I asked her what to do regarding PPE. Her response was honest: "Try to get some, but if you don't already have it, you probably won't be able to get any." If you remember, around that time we were hoarding toilet paper. Then I called the infectious disease specialist at our local health department and asked the same, what about PPE? The nice, polite lady told me masks were useless and depictions of Asians wearing masks were showing people who were concerned with the air pollution. So from the get-go there has been plenty of confusion coming through official channels.
It seems likely either delivery people, GF, or mom. All it takes is one person in your network to be in someone else's network, and someone there is in someone else's network, and suddenly you get COVID because you thought you were safe and they thought they were safe and they thought they were safe...

Teachers' unions are among the most powerful unions left in the country. If there ever was a time for them to flex that power, it's now: In the middle of a raging worldwide pandemic, they are actually being asked to risk dying for their jobs and risk having their classrooms turn into petri dishes sending infected children back to infect their families. If that's not enough to motivate collective action, what is?
> I prefer contextual ads, ie. related to what I'm currently looking at, not what my ad profile thinks my personality is based on something unrelated I did on another device last week.

That would be my preference for browsing the web, or looking at results of a search. But what about the ads that rely on doom-scrolling? The ones that are inserted every two posts on a Facebook feed would be hard to make contextual, for example.

Every time I see someone focus only on COVID deaths, I remember the millions of people infected by polio who "survived" but spent the rest of their lives crippled or in iron lungs.

Not dying does not mean 100% OK.
Children are some of the best disease vectors. In many schools, they easily come in contact with 100 other children.

When the child is sick with a disease, they bring it home. Now the parents are exposed.
New Documentary about Claude Shannon: “The Bit Player”
It is alarming regardless. The 30% tested cases being positive means that the testing is much behind the reality. For contact tracing to work, the ratio of positive cases must be much lower.

Basically, this means that they don't have enough testing capacity and are testing only when they must.
The Economist has always been very against Brexit. I do think they might not necessarily oppose rentiership (you have to keep in mind which family owns The Economist) but in later interpretations of “liberalism” rentiership is seen a logical extension of the right of property ownership, so I don’t think it’s necessarily incompatible with a classically liberal outlook
