Hopefully those with complications will turn out to be a minority but we are talking a disease whose parameters haven't been fully discovered.

The "magic" of COVID is that combines the seriousness of many serious diseases, like more conventional viral pneumonia, that do long lasting damage with an infectiousness greater than the flu - so even minority with organ damage can be many, many people. It's not the worst disease in the world but the point one should be concerned with the number of cases rather than just fatalities.
Not that I’m arguing against you, but it is interesting to point out that a lot of the music performed by Rihanna and the likes is written composed and produced by people from Sweden, which has a great music education system
We don't see health care systems collapsing due to herpes infections.

Look at what's happening in Florida, Texas, Arizona with COVID-19.
Is there a recent breakthrough in FHE? The last I checked its no where near practical.
You can trademark "Apple Silicon" (both words together with caps)
Since it often is completely unencrypted just use an android phone or whatever to get the details. And since the small-payment-limitation is just in the payment terminal you don't have to care about that either. And blocking the card isn't even immediate.

Card doesn't even need to leave victims pocket to read it.

You can't make this stuff up.
It isn’t victim-blaming, it’s expecting Twitter to have relative safeguards in place and not have relative open doors to allow one person access to world leading accounts!
They could stop paying out flat per listen.

If I pay $10 and listen to 50 tracks, I want $10 (minus the provides fee) to be split among precisely those 50 tracks.

The difference is if you only listed to 50 tracks your listens are worth more that someone that diluted their listens over 5000.

Throwing everyone's fees into one big vat and dividing that according to the total listens, is bullshit. I want my favorite artist to be paid by me and I don't want to subsidize the worlds most popular artists that I never listen to.

Citation needed. And just because they're American doesn't mean that they won't send data to China.
I think something might be off in your mental model of python coroutines. They work via cooperative multitasking. Atomic operations aren't really necessary or relevant in such a system where you are in complete control of all yield points (i.e., calls to `await`).
If you read the full blog post, the author solves the problem without setdefault, and without having to cancel any futures.

Every time I find something that seems unnecessarily awk in asyncio, I eventually find out there's a good reason. But plenty of things that are written with it aren't using it exactly right.
Love current PR lingo. Just shove self-praise into every piece of communication.

> Cortana is continuing to redefine the nature of a digital assistant, ... accelerating productivity to help save you time and focus on the things that matter most

> The first change is to end support for all third-party Cortana skills

> Cortana in Surface Headphones will continue pivoting toward its mission to help customers with productivity throughout their day. We’ll be removing support for the previous version of Cortana in the first version of Surface Headphones

So much acceleration, wow.
Duh, thanks! Now I have a new one but I think it just means the script needs to stay running longer so the coroutine can have time to do its thing.

Just as China hides market intervention and protectionism behind ideological control; the US hides economic interventionism and protectionsim behind national security.

The defence budget of the US is in large part the gov's R&D budget and national economic programme. 'National Security' is now its headline for its international economic programme.
I don't see any real suggestion that they'd do so. Apple has referred to their hardware in developer documentation as "Apple Silicon" -- possibly to avoid trademark issues with ARM? -- but I expect them to use the same naming scheme they use for their iOS application processors (like "Apple A16X") once they have a product ready for market. MacWorld's use of phrases like "Apple's Silicon processor" is likely to just represent confusion on the part of the journalist.

As an aside, I have a very hard time believing that Apple would reenter the networking industry. Consumer wireless access points are a commodity product at this point -- it'd be difficult for Apple to present a compelling premium option, especially when many consumers are satisfied with the one that came built into their cable modem.
> you're victim-blaming.

Twitter is not the victim here; the users who had their accounts taken over are. Twitter did not lose anything, except an entirely reasonable loss of reputation, because they could have taken measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening, but did not.

Companies need to be held accountable for their breaches. Sure, sometimes a company did do everything they could to prevent a breach, and took steps to mitigate the damage in the event of a breach, and they still happen. But that is vanishingly rare. The main thing I've learned from all the breach disclosures (at least where companies are truthful and forthcoming about what happened) is that security practices are lax and insufficient pretty much everywhere.

That's not ok, and we need to do something to incentivize these companies to properly protect our data, before we all become victims. If financial sanctions and public shaming is the best way to do that, so be it.
Agree that at the moment Sweden seems to have done the wrong thing compared to its neighbours, Norway, Denmark, etc. However Anders Tegnell's strategy was to aim for the best long term outcome, not necessarily minimizing deaths in the short term.

Sweden, a country of 10.1 million people, in which annual all-cause mortality is around 93,000, is currently reporting a total of 5,743 "COVID-19 deaths" (using a very broad counting standard whereby anyone who dies within 30 days of a COVID-19 diagnosis is counted as a "COVID-19 death," irrespective of the actual cause of death). Of those 5,743 "COVID-19 deaths":

Almost 90% (89.1%) were over the age of 70
Over two-thirds (67.6%) were over the age of 80
Only 71 deaths (1.2%) were under the age of 50
Only 1 death was under the age of 20
[1]

In the US, around 80.3% of deaths have been individuals aged 65 or older whereas in Sweden, around 89.1% of deaths have been individuals aged 70 or older. [1]

In the US, only around 2.64% of deaths have been individuals under age 45 whereas in Sweden only around 1.26% of deaths have been individuals under age 50. [3]

Sweden is currently reporting an overall death rate of 556 deaths / 1 M population which is higher than the current US figure of 433 deaths / 1 M population. But Sweden's population is older. Around 20% of Swedes are 65+ versus only around 15% for the US. The size of a country's 65+ population is a reasonable proxy for the size of its vulnerable population in view of the fact that the vast majority of deaths have come from individuals 65 or older. If we calculate total deaths (any age) / 1M 65+ population for both countries, we get 2886 for the US vs. 2780 for Sweden. Sweden's death rate / elderly population is actually lower than than that of the US, and the US should only be expected to fall further behind in this metric as time passes in view of the fact that Sweden is further along its curve than the US.

Streaming services (music, movies, books, etc.) are completely user-centric. It’s one place for you to consume your content. Discovery was never great there.
This seem like a strawman. It's not about "snowflakes" getting offended. Everyone understands that words have different meanings in different languages. So if I read "you need to get fitta'" in an english gym ad I just giggle and don't get offended like "hrmph, is this gym implying that I don't get laid!". But, when I'm in the process of buying a car, that giggle might turn into a "I'll just buy another car then". Specifically thinking about Honda Fitta.

(Use the site to check what that word means in my native language)
and what's the reply to comment like yours?
It is exciting as a new technology, but from a business standpoint... I suspect specs will be in par with the failed 12inch macbook, with this being a price corrected product, a 1st prototype, and as a strategy improvement parallel to Microsoft’s failed ARM launch.
There is no art anymore, only products. Once you optimize for monetary compensation via popular consumption, all creative endeavours are seen as and become products.

Your sentence, while it reasonate with me, is seen today as naive and non realistic.
My personal opinion is people don't realize the app/algorithm doesn't just reward the viewers, it rewards the creators. I do video/photo work outside of coding and at first what got me hooked was the effortless video tools (useful realtime effects, non-generic music). Not a video editor? Someone in my feed already posted a 15s tutorial so you learn how to create as you consume. Then after posting a few vids as a joke (cuz 15s videos couldn't be anything meaningful right?) the algorithm rewarded me with 100k's views that IG/YouTube/FB/Twitch/Vimeo COMBINED could never give me. Then they randomly invited me to their Slack where I could get tips on how to use the latest new effect, upcoming hashtags and give feedback to devs. I'm not a full time content creator, I'm old and I'm not a looker but for the first time, I felt like I could be a content creator and all I did was post a few 15s videos. It just works.

I don't want to debate the politics, security issues or your judgement of the content. I want whoever comes up with the next killer app to learn from what they were able to achieve because they hit an amazing product market fit and I'm hoping the HN crowd can at least understand that. /rant
Well the US banned Kinder Eggs. I don't necessarily like it but the US has a history of protectionist trade laws.
The parent’s point is that even in these “golden ages”, 99% of the population was slaving away on farms all day every day

Arbitrary computation can still be bounded. [1] for example cites the definition of FHE (Def. 9) as a scheme that can compute all circuits, which are fairly powerful [2].

Arbitrary computation is also, afaik, not well defined.

edit: After putting some thought into this, I feel like the idea is: Circuits can perform arbitrary computations on a limited size input, but not on an arbitrary size input. Loops are not a problem, as they are an implementation detail. Unbounded output is not possible on a touring machine that halts for all inputs of size s limited by some constant. There exists a circuit that would compute the same thing, as you can take the (binary encoded) results of the touring machine and just create a truth table from that, which describes a circuit. Circuits are interesting because they are usually limited in size.

For a low-travel and ergonomic keyboard, check out the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic. It's wireless and has a standard layout which doesn't require any learning, including a real row of function-keys, full size arrow-block and pg-up/down. And it just cost 1/4 of the Moonlander. No per-key dedicated backlight, no programmable ARM Cortex or any other thrills, it's just a simple, comfortable, plug in and start using keyboard. I wish they offered an even cheaper version without the silly Mouse in the package.

It has a reputation for bad build quality but i've been lucky with mine. Also be careful to not loose the wireless dongle as the keyboard becomes a brick without it.
There were ongoing internal conflicts going back to the 50s and 60s with atrocities from both sides. I don’t know if you’d call it war, but it did eventually lead to the invasion.

Check “Cypriot intercommunal violence” on Wikipedia.
I understand them quite well, thank you.
You don't need setdefault if you only call the initializer from one thread. My code can be made thread safe (as long as you only use one event loop per thread).

It's way easier with a single thread. You don't need a lock or atomic operations.

initializer = None
async def maybe_initialize():
global initializer
if initializer is None:
initializer = asyncio.ensure_future(one_time_setup())
await initializer
return
I play IL2 which is a WW2 combat sim in VR and have no motion sickness issues at all despite it involving quite a lot of spinning around that would make a lot of people sick IRL. Flight is one of the sweet spots for VR sickness as you have a cockpit which anchors you somewhat and for the majority of the time the rest of the scenery is actually quite far away.
The circuit that repeatedly multiplies the previous result with itself has higher than exponential growth rate.
That's true and yet the decreasing revenue, monetization, and relentless cost-cutting is real as well.
Well, your analysis is a miss here: many of those technical phone screens led to take-homes, not on-sites. I’ve rarely heard of a company doing both a take home project and technical on-site (I did this once; it sucked).
That's your view, but artists likely hold the opposite view. I imagine they want to be paid more if more people listen to their music.
they optimized for current hardware, sacrificing some performance on outdated hardware.

I'd rather windows uses my SSD to the fullest, than that it makes concessions to spinning disks.
SMS OTP is only for online transactions (On the bank's website, amazon, etc)

Physical Card + 4 digit PIN is at the ATM or the bank. So no long lines waiting for OTP.
A ton. Look at the nearest device around you, chances are it runs Siri, Alexa, Cortana, or Google voice assistant. This will only grow.

Same with machine vision. It's going to be everywhere — not just self-driving trucks (which, unlike cars, are going yo be big soon), but also security devices, warehouse automation, etc.

All this is normally run on vector / tensor processors, both in huge datacenters and on local beefy devices (where a stock built-in GPU alongside ARM cores is not cutting it).

This is a growing market with.a lot of potential.

Licensing CUDA could be quite a hassle, though. OpenCL is open but less widely used.
With addition and multiplication you can do a lot. I think there is a term for circuits that can be “arithmetized”. A loop which iteration count is based on the value of the encrypted input seems to be out of scope.
You can do this in python using `Future` or `Task`. For example, with `asyncio.ensure_future`.
If ever there was a chance for the EU to capitalise on China trying to capitalise on Trump, now’s the time.
Why don't we solve murders anymore? (2017)
Weird, feels kind of misleading just on general principle to call it "fully" when it doesn't do the full set of computations.

I found this link [1] which makes this distinction:

> Partially Homomorphic Encryption (PHE): In PHE scheme, only one type of mathematical operation is allowed on the encrypted message, i.e., either addition or multiplication operation, with unlimited number of times,

> Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE): In SHE, both addition and multiplication operation is allowed but with only a limited number of times.

> Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE): FHE allows a large number of different types of evaluation operations on the encrypted message with unlimited number of times.

And even then, multiplication is just repeated addition, so it still feels off to say it goes beyond partially homomorphic in the above schema. (Edit: actually, for arbitrary inputs, you can't reduce it like that, so ignore this para.)

In any case, original claim from the article that started this thread [2] is wrong.

The fact that Twitter had a system in which any of thousands of employees at all levels could single-handedly with no oversight alter any of the information in any account shows this was absolutely Twitter's fault.
Apple Silicon feels like the most exciting 'Apple computer' news since the launch of the Macintosh.

Typing this from a 16-inch MacBook Pro that cost me $5k, I know Apple loves to make money via raw sale price of premium hardware. Imagine what power they'll be able to pack into such a price once they apply Apple Silicon to the MBP. I'm thinking 128 or even 256 GB RAM, extraordinary processing speed options that are orders or magnitude faster than any other laptop (or even desktop), it's major major news.

The big question mark hanging over it is ability to run native Linux. I'm a Linux user, increasingly. We'll have to watch this space.
I'm not sure why you're being so aggressive about it. The original comment asked why the long-term effects of COVID-19 were seemingly being ignored, and your parent comment responded with an explanation of why some people are comfortable ignoring them.
I've been doing some mock interviews for friends and I've had a couple realizations. Almost everybody gets nervous at interviews. I get nervous, you get nervous, we all get nervous. However some are able to tamp down the nervousness and not let it show. There's nothing wrong with being nervous, but it is useful to project confidence. Stuff like smiling, speaking up, even providing a light joke can help you seem more personable and get you ready to perform.

When I have an interview, I tap into techniques that I used when I competed. I used to do a very individual based sport. Tournaments would be stressful since your performance solely depended on you. Therefore I learned a bunch of techniques on how to keep your mental game going. Techniques such as listening to music to hype you up, having certain ritual foods or drink, self talk, meditating, etc. One accomplished athlete I knew talked about how he'd tell himself that he'd put in the training to be the best. Therefore he knew that he could do it.

It's a little weird viewing an interview as a competition but it's really about getting through a stressful, high risk/reward situation with the right mental game.
That makes sense. It doesn't make Hertzl any less involved nor less scum for choosing to occupy Palestine, regardless of his motives.

> Ps Ben Gurion’s treatment of diaspora Jews, ruppin’s race pyramid and eugenics plan for the Jews, and other “anecdotes” are beyond the scope of this discussion, but should be remembered.

Thanks, I'll look that up.

> There’s nothing saintly about pre-state Israel, nor innocent.

Which the current regime of course denies and tries to rewrite history to say otherwise.
That sort of discourages deep work, similar to journalists encouraged to tweet often instead of releasing larger , more in-depth articles once a month.
An important aspect of life for many of us is the opportunity to be a moral agent. Being a successful moral agent as part of a profession in the world I know is not an easy goal to achieve. Diehl deserves kudos for posting this so that young people planning a career can be aware of some possible pitfalls and negative moral influences down the road when they include particular technological skill sets in their long-term road-maps.

I'm generally not in a technological workplace as I once was, but my recollection (from circa 1990) is that the ACM and the software section of the IEEE each had codes of ethics for their members to consult when knotty problems of good vs evil arose. Do current versions of those codes contain anything that might assist a responsible professional addressing the issues that Diehl describes?
I think we should continually fold new libraries into the language. Basically "batteries included", collapse the dependency tree.

I found that the standard python library has enormous functionality that makes it possible to solve many problems in a self-contained fashion.

This sort of solution will give you a big toolbox spread out in front of you. You will be less likely to re-invent the wheel. Many eyes on the standard library may lead to optimizations used by everyone.

And it makes it possible to share effectively. You can talk about functions with others using common terms. You can share your code and it will work in other environments. Education can teach in an unambiguous fashion.
I can’t say I never have taken a role with a stupid coding challenge (because I have) but often you’ll go for 4 or 5 interviews maybe 4 having coding challenges. At least one role will end up having 5 stages! At least one will end up being just a 15-30 mins chat with no challenge, with either an instant offer at the end or a phone call from the recruiter 20 mins after you leave the interview.

Inevitably I end up taking the one that was just a short chat.
Oh! That is quite the mistake. It does look to be more on the order of cents per view.
I am not sure this is even a response to anything. It looks like the first US move in a new confrontation with China. Merely treating is as a response, isn't sufficiently strong explanation in my opinion.

More over I don't think President has power/authority to ban anything at all, let alone apps on privately administered app stores. President isn't a dictator elected by the people.

There might be legitimate grounds to take action against an app/service like data breaches or copyright infringement, even terms of right violations, but nothing of that seems to be the case. Even if it was the case, it would have to go through the legal justice system.

From what I have seen, the theory of threats to national security being bandied about isn't substantial nor concrete enough to hold in courts.

So if TikTok does not run afoul of our laws, there shouldn't be grounds for banning that or any other app citing vague and theoretical national security considerations.

Pretty skeptical he can get this done via executive order, although there seems to be a bipartisan anti-Chinese mood in Congress, so who knows?
Actually, it says in the article:

> Artwick owned it until 2015, when it was sold at auction for $4,000,005. It was never clear who bought the property, as it was sold to a trust. “That was by design, and I’m not allowed to say. They want their privacy,” Tabeling said.
The Chinese have their firewall, censoring anything that the regime doesn't like. This not only muffle the criticism of your citizens, but also criticisms of the American people and the rest of the world.

This is for tit for tat. The United States is an open society. Why should we let an authoritarian regime gains influence over my country?
