Possibly.. but even this thread I was felt like there were more mentions to just purely stats of IFR by age group as if that was all that matters and they were very active in this thread.

It's good to know it's being brought up when people mention IFR of age groups as if that "proves" we shouldn't worry about it.
Hmm, I think cancelling parties (that have no political affiliation) is different from policing thought. I'm a free speech absolutist, but I support governments limiting non-speech freedoms for the sake of public health
>why is it that someone who can afford $1000 for a Mac can automatically afford another $100

Someone who has invested in ~$1000 specifically to develop applications for Apple ecosystem has to invest $100 to release the application, that is the overall context of my statement in that sentence.

>You're applying a sort of reverse of Zeno's Arrow[1] to affordability, and I think shows a distinct lack of understanding of how money works when you don't have all that much of it.

Cherry picking part of my sentence to make a statement, then claiming to throw insight about my understanding of how money works based on how much of it I have seems like using your own logical fallacy intentionally to make an ad hominem argument.
One trick that I have seen for confined environments is to rotate the plate with both stereo cameras around its forward axis. That way, you can convert the left-right stereo to up-down stereo and especially with highly reflective stuff, there's a chance that that will be enough of a change to reduce reflections.
> Also - components are pretty uncontested these last few years.

Throwing buckets of shit out the window was uncontested for years in medieval times as well.

> is basically just

With this you are basically just paraphrasing 'self evident'.

> It's "evident" that it's the correct abstraction because the alternatives (things like managing app state and UI interactions through MVC, MVVM and MVP) are mostly not needed or are not the right level of abstraction for composing large UIs in web apps (where components make it trivial and shift the complexity to stitching the state manangement <-> component interop when you need to break the abstraction).

MVC isn't the alternative to components. You are comparing apples and oranges. You don't need MVC to compose large UIs in web apps. You use the MVC pattern to separate concerns: fetching data from the database (M), presenting said data (V), handling requests and managing sessions (C) and because the pieces of code live in different places: MC on the server, V in the browser. Whatever you do in the V is what we are talking about, you still need places for M and C in an SPA.

> just "functions composing other functions and calling each other in a top-down flow with bottom-up updates through framework state"

The whole "top-down..bottom-up" thing is a mechanism that only makes sense when you have decided that you want to have some sort of SPA, it isn't something you _need_ or an alternative to how things were done before, you are making it sound like it is.

Alternatively to using something like React, you could render HTML and go from page to page, redirect after handling a form, etc. In that case you don't need any stack of functions that need lots of passed down data and state management at all.

I am not saying either is better in all cases. I am trying to point out some inaccuracies in what you are saying.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the ignorance and stupidity on display here. Beyond that, I simply don't understand the appeal of this kind of influencer: she has literally nothing interesting to say and what she does say she delivers in the most aggravating cartoon parody of the "valley girl" stereotype and clearly with no sense of irony. What kind of role model is this for young people? Just awful.

They got multiple warnings.

This is kind of like that Bruce Willis movie scene where his wife tries to say her affair with his best friend was "an accident" and he says something like "Whoops! I fell down and my dick accidentally ended up in your wife."

If you don't want your water cut off, don't invite your 200 closest friends over during a pandemic, two weeks after they announced this was a potential consequence and after the police have previously visited your house and warned you in specific. Duh.
I'm not that interested in a dashboard, but I'd bee interested in reading the post-mortem. Since they have paying customers for these products, they might release that.
Thing that a lot of people here don't realize because of course they don't read any of the actual planning documents. Just articles someone at the LA times is getting kickbacks to write. Some of the extra cost of the middle segment is for grade separation projects for the existing freight rail lines. Which is why it runs next to the frieght rail lines. The new overpasses cross both the fright rail line and the high speed rail line. Two birds one stone.
On the other hand SSDs have cut at least 20% off head seek times. ;)
You brought up a very obvious point.

Any marketplace will benefit from network effects. The devil is in the extent to which you can take advantage of these. And you made no points about that.
> If we move away from an expectation for year-round availability

So, here's a question: do you think you could convince people to give up smartphones?

Because I think it'd be about the same level of difficulty.

People really, really, really don't like to surrender convenience or comfort.

I realize you aren't advocating this -- you have great intentions -- but crazy long shelf lives keep a lot of people from starving.

I'm interested in the micro-farming idea primarily because (a) I like the idea of adding more redundancy into the food supply; (b) because fresh food tastes amazing; and (c) because it's an interesting problem to solve.
But I'd rather see that we roll the clock forward, and develop better technology to enable both year-round availability and healthy ultra-long-life foods, while at the same time deploying indefinitely sustainable agricultural practices.
That's less than prisoners and animals get here.
And Rothko just put paint on canvas.

I’m not sure that technical complexity is the best benchmark with which to measure an art project, regardless of whether it’s an “art x tech” project.
Well, as long as they keep taking this action consistently, it seems pretty clear that it will advance public health goals.
I would be interested in the kind of model which will tell you something is wrong when you show it a black square and call it a black square, then show it a white square and call it a black square. Not the kind of model which would average the results and adapt to nonsense.
Why do you say that? The best manager I've ever had came from a non-technical background. She was good because she knew how to manage people. Not technical people, just people.

On the other hand the worst manager I've ever had came from a technical background.

I have no reason to believe that my best manager could successfully manage a team of janitors, dentists, marketers or software developers.

I'm wondering if this will be useful for an online conference we're putting together where we need to schedule 1:1s with presenters for expert sessions. How customizable is the text that appears (Students, Tutorials, etc. ) that wouldn't be appropriate in a conference setting?
Previous thread on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21289832

I commented on that thread at the time, giving examples of how I had got documentation for my project[1] - badly - wrong over the years (note: all the links in that comment are now broken). Since then, I have developed a completely new website for the project and have tried to follow the advice given in the link:

Tutorials: https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/learn
How-To guides: https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/how-do-i
Reference guides: https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/documentation
Explanation (also the landing page): https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/

Whether it works for users ... I have no idea. Getting useful feedback on the documentation remains (for me) an unsolvable problem. What I do know is that the new system is a lot easier to maintain (thank you, Svelte!) which in turn makes working on the project a lot more fun for me.

Probably because they don't know anyone who had COVID personally and think the media is hyping it up. Plus the numbers are low compared to population. If you were an accountant, this would be a rounding error in the large picture. Then some areas of the country they aren't as serious about locking things down like in Tennessee, Utah, South Dakota or Wyoming. Heard a radio ad promoting road trips to Wyoming, they even mention they have freedom "ready to be free again". I guess that makes sense though if the rest of the country is locked down, other places can take advantage of it and profit. Supply and Demand. I'm curious how the results after Sturgis will be in 2 weeks, other places being closed and people from all over the country flocked there. Well they attract a bunch of people every year from all over anyways, but I figured this year be more so since less opportunities for entertainment right now.

Then our own president said some people didn't even know they had it comparing it to a cold. Then reports that some doctors have been threatened to lose their job if they don't sign off on COVID because the hospital gets extra money even if someone died from Cancer. Then another doctor thought the ventilators were doing more harm than good so if the doctors kill people with ventilators that's a extra 50 grand. Some people are worth more dead than alive. I think there's a virus just like other things but we're being played in a way to influence the election. Just like how with Obama they were scaring everyone about Swine Flu, working on a new vaccine for that too but that just kinda fizzled out. I know I'm skeptical personally and it is very concerning all the big sites are censoring this stuff. I think because the big drug companies run advertising on these sites, I know in other countries they banned advertising drugs but in the USA that's big business.
Cascading / depending on the parent's style are features specifically intended to enable a component-based approach. It allows, for example, to use h1's in your component, but have them render at appropriate sizes depending on their level in the overall hierarchy.
Because DEFLATE uses a small 32KB window, this task is just matching the last 32KB of one file with the first 32KB of another file for most redundancy. A tool can do those estimations to find the best matching file to put in the archive after the current file, without doing the huffman coding when doing it.

For cases like multiple checkouts of the same repo in a single archive, you want real long range compression like lrzip or zstd --long.

And in the end, using zstd would be a win over DEFLATE every time. Just stop using DEFLATE unless you have to for compatibility with something that can't do zstd.
Thank you for that. I wasn't aware of that. I haven't kept up with the details since leaving California.
Yes, this is why you use tailwind.
Yes indeed. Say you're creating a new component, and this new component will contain (among other things) some existing component, but the existing component needs to be styled slightly differently in this particular context. How do you deal with this with inline styling? Threading around this information between the components in JS to make the old component aware of the new one seems clearly wrong. A good old-fashioned style sheet handles it easily and relatively cleanly.

I've seen that inline CSS seems to be the latest trend, but I haven't really read up on why myself. Is this post really the current thinking? I find it completely uncompelling.
I see this argument repeated whenever there is a conversation about issues like this.

But I almost never see anyone pointing out this is the equivalent of think of the children applied to software distribution.

While indeed this kind of control reduces the chance less informed users run random code downloaded from sketchy sites. I think it does little to actually curb malware, since all you have to do to pass the bar is pay 100 dollars to apple.

I believe this is Apples attempt to fully control the software distribution business for macs the way they do for iphones. Eventually mandating that all software comes through their store, uses their payment provider, etc.
It would be better to give all the cities nonstop advance ticketed service, complete with luggage handling and seat reservations. (just like aircraft)

It's possible with rail. You just need to avoid stopping trains on the main line. Switch off on to a siding to serve the station. Switching should be at the fastest safe speed; slow trains do not belong on the main line.
> In other words, don't argue at the same time, don't be angry at the same time! While those arguments are coming right at you it's rarely personal in the real sense. It makes it hard to have an argument if you don't argue back. You only start discussing when you've let the anger come out first.

This applies to online disagreements, too. Responding immediately is not often better than waiting, if you choose to respond at all. Waiting lets you say those things that only come to mind while you're in the shower the next morning (metaphorically and literally)

You should read into Austrian economics and in particular the studies of Ludwig von Mises because it builds on fundamental "tangible" truths. Search for the term praxeology
I used exclusively Mac on my personal machines from 2005 to 2018. Then I switched to a Windows 10 laptop mostly because I was curious and it was cheap.

Windows 10 + WSL is amazing. It's definitely getting better all the time while macOS is getting worse each year. Plus more and more I just seem to only need Chrome, VSCode, and a Terminal.

So yes I have done it, and I now prefer Windows.
Housing is actually very easy to do. And should be insanely cheap to do in the US.

Yes, as mentioned in another comment I meant you can't do anything beyond styling the element in its current state. Consider a wild state-based rule along the lines of: `input:checked ~ output[data-i="0"] + section > div:empty ~ div:last-of-type:focus-within::before` .. for that you would need a stylesheet.
Why does this have no comments?
The GP was talking about Palestinians being unable to vote. While it's easy to place blame Palestine issues on the US and Israel, in this case it's clear that elections are not taking place because Fatah and Hamas can't get their house in order.
That almost guarantees that fewer companies will be started, since your model removes incentive for people to benefit from starting companies.
I was a big supporter of CA high speed rail until the mismanagement situation became clear, and the costs became apparent that the value for money was not materializing for this project.

In the beginning, when I tried a back of the envelope calculation that the distances were just beyond economical for high speed rail systems (versus air travel), I was willing to support it. However, the gradual resistance to acquiring the right of way cheaply, and the financial mismanagement (along with engineering mismanagement) caused me to lose faith in the CAHSR leadership capabilities. And now honestly, I think the money would be much more efficiently spent to solve some of our other many traffic/transportation problems.

One of the worst times that convinced me the management was not being honest (with themselves even) was when the linked reporter's story came out about the geotechnical problems about crossing the Tehachapi/San Gabriel range, and how this major (really major!) problem had not been solved yet. The CAHSR CEO kept on going on about how they'd saved $1B or something on the current Central Valley construction costs -- as if saving a few pennies on the cost of a bolt on the Space Shuttle they didn't know how to design the rest of, was a great achievement.

Anyway, this is all wrapped up in the larger story of how major projects in the US simply cannot build things cheaply and efficiently any more. It's a big problem for our infrastructure in general... We are getting 1/3 to 1/2 of what we could build (or maintain properly) because it's so expensive to do this now.
>solved the problem with a given reason

Edit: I just removed my comment because I failed at parsing this expression, and ended up replying to something you did not actually say.
Even better, let WHO shoulder the cost of trialing promising candidate drugs. The current system means every successful drug needs to also shoulder the cost of developing and (especially) trialing nine other drugs that didn't make it. Basically pharma companies currently work like hedge funds who expect most of their startups to fail but expect to make the money back on a single unicorn from each batch. IMO it would be a much healthier ecosystem if smaller labs could just do the development part.
A few bad apples spoil the bunch. A society made up of people that tolerate 20% of their own to be antisocial super spreaders is rotten to the core, even if the majority behaves responsibly.

There's an analogy to US police forces there, too. And to US politicians.
> If Apple continues to head in this direction, I think the right move is to migrate to Linux. Windows is a huge step back, as far as I'm concerned.

Linux desktop has so many hidden problems, especially on laptops, you're definitely better off going the Windows route, unless your time is free.

Speaking as somebody who sees friends posting party footage on Instagram Stories, I would not be so confident. There are many places to host parties. With the mayor giving them attention, people will be afraid they are missing out.
There is a very wide gap between turning off someones electricity for routinely hosting parties against regulations during a pandemic that is killing more people per day than most wars and thought policing.

Also your comment could be made about literally any enforcement action ever taken.
I got curious and looked it up. On this page [1] it looks like uncompressing with gzip vs bzip2 vs xz is:

gzip bzip2 xz
1 6.771 24.23 13.251
2 6.581 24.101 12.407
3 6.39 23.955 11.975
4 6.313 24.204 11.801
5 6.153 24.513 11.08
6 6.078 24.768 10.911
7 6.057 23.199 10.781
8 6.033 25.426 10.676
9 6.026 23.486 10.623

so gzip has the fastest decompression.

That said, xz is in the ballpark and can be significantly smaller.

It's mostly related to attachment. Regular emails should be fine.
It is if you scale the fine based on their income.

Also, an idea: rather than handing fines and fees to the government -- which incentivizes all kinds of bad behavior, from civil forfeiture to crazy permitting laws -- you stick it in a general fund, and hand it back -- evenly distributed -- to the taxpayer as a dividend at the end of the year.

Do that for every bit of revenue that government makes outside of collecting taxes.

I'm curious where this falls down (outside of implementation difficulties).
Your answer reminds me of the book I am currently reading:
https://www.amazon.com/Growing-New-Economy-Environmental-Des...

It reflects on free markets and the failure of trickle down economics.

Sadly, it was flagged as too controversial, and was taken down from Amazon for a limited period, but it's now available again.
Domestic policies probably don't really do that much aside from maybe closing public services like schools.

It has to do with how people behave, as we see in the article here, and NZ gets much less international traffic than the US and the island take has some merit. Iceland had 10 cases, Madagaskar around 150. You could argue that South Korea is an island too since there probably is little exchange on land routes. Australia wishes to be a continent, but... okay, maybe it really doesn't really fit here.

Infections aren't spread homogeneously, so I believe behavior of people is the main factor. Too bad, because you cannot just blame all this on someone.

I think the causes of infections get misattributed just like the performance of economies to immediate government policies.
> So, the sky isn't falling yet,

Now we are literally only one step away from not being able to run our own software on Macs without paying Apple 100$/year (or whatever amount they want).

They just need to disable adhoc blocking, and require a signed developer. All systems are in place for this. The only thing they need to justify such a change is a "catastrophe". For example, next year, some macos malware might pop up, that could have been prevented with this signing. And Apple could just use that as an excuse to fully lock their platform.
Hey driesdep, I love the look of this!

I have yet to get a good answer to this question: what do these checks do?

They just confirm the developer has $100? Does Apple actually make sure signed binaries don't do anything bad?
Hikvision cameras are good, however they encode video in their own proprietary format (at least when I last checked) so you will have difficulties streaming them to anything that is not their make.
