I don't agree that it must play out this way. Some things stay open standards/federations once created. In general, any legal system should guarantee that closed systems have limits that hinder their normalization.

For example, if I can't do something with a 3rd party (be hired, enter a contest, ??) without doing it via FB, the 3rd party should be creating a liability for themself compared to email, or POTS where my terms with any compatible provider can be stated as a fact and dismissed in legal terms.

Having just received a change of TOS from Microsoft that claims to include their "products": One can invest in however much Microsoft Windows compatible infrastructure only to learn one has to stop using Windows completely within a few weeks if one disagrees with any new terms they care to name? Linux could do everything wrong from now on, yet the federation of similar distributions make it the only real option server side where one has investments to protect from future rent seeking by any one "winner".
Yeah that was the first one I tried and it wants me to name my baby..."China". Not sure about that; seems confusing at the minimum. Surely this has to be one of the more common combinations people will need too?
I don't know where you get your numbers from, but they are off by a huge factor.
The worldwide IFR is around 0.3% (stable for months), the CFR is multiplied by factor 10.

Korea's CFR is 2.3%, the IFR 0.2%.
Some special countries which could not protect the elderly have much higher IFR's of 1 - 1.5%. Remember, the IFR is 10% for over 80 years and neglectable for everybody under 50.

So far there's no evidence on different strains, but lot of evidence of different policies leading to the differences. Esp. for Belgium, Spain, Italy, US and Brazil to name the worst.

I'm fairly pro-gun but even I'll concede this is a big BIG reason why police shoot first.

A bunch of US police studies found that if the suspect looks like s/he is pulling a gun, then you pull first and shoot first. And this being the US, that's not a crazy or unlikely situation (compared to somewhere like Japan or the UK).

Generally the studies backed that the winner of the gunfight is 1) who pulls a gun first, 2) who shoots first, 3) who scores a disabling hit within the first three (3) shots.

The downside of teaching all of your officers this means that they see someone sneeze or move their hand incorrectly and they assume s/he's reaching for it and goes for a killshot with 3+ rounds. The drunk (white) guy who got shot by the cop when he tried to pull his pants come to mind[1].

The passengers don't strictly need to stay conscious, though the pilots certainly do need to. I do wonder how likely a total and rapid loss of pressurization is to coincide with the plane remaining airworthy at all though. I'm guessing most survivable scenarios involve a less than immediate depressurization, which would buy the pilots more time to save the passengers. And of course I doubt the pilots would be doing anything mindlessly, let alone responding to an emergency..

In any event, I think the Concorde proves that operating at that altitude is feasible. It's not like 60,000 feet at supersonic speeds is survivable. The pilots would have minutes to get down before passengers were brain damaged. The chemical oxygen generators giving oxygen to the passengers don't last long, not nearly as long as the oxygen bottles for the pilot/crew, and that's assuming the passengers can get the masks on.
> I really enjoy listening to people's anger ranting why its not really art, or why anyone could do that, etc. If art is intended to garner a reaction - Pollock accomplishes that in spades.

If that's a defense of Pollock's art, I think it's not a very good one. Obviously a lot of people, myself included, disagree that anything that elicits a strong reaction must be art. I hope there's a better reaction to his art, like maybe it's aesthetically pleasing, provocative or innovative?

For the record, I don't dislike Pollock's art, though it's not really something I admire either.

Maybe they want to be on the winning side this time (just joking). My guess is that the trump campaign is spending on ads on YouTube, while the Biden campaign isn't. There seems to be a lot of mashups and videos comparing statements of Biden now and years ago. I get the impression the general tone of most of the videos on YouTube are negative for Biden, and probably not the best place to spend ad money. Especially considering that YouTube will start recommending political videos trying to get click rage engagement going on.

I made the mistake during the last election clicking on a promoted video about Hillary and my god I had to spend weeks clicking "don't recommend this channel" in my feed. YouTube will shove political video recommendation down your throat. I don't like political commentary regardless of what side of the ideological spectrum it comes from.
Well, the way unit tests work in Rust is that you write a test module inside your module. So, in a case like I'm describing, the unit test is usually (always?) right under the private function in question.

So, technically, yes, that's "observable behavior" in the sense that a test will pass or fail. It's not really the same IMO as running e.g., jUnit, where all of your tests are in the same area away from the code they're testing.

The reason I say that is because if you refactor and change the function in question, the test for it is RIGHT next to it. It's just going to be part of the refactor. It's almost like saying that private methods shouldn't depend on each other because taking one away will break the other. I believe your IDE will even show you squiggles when your test gets messed up while you're editing.

Your suggestion to use an interface is exactly the kind of "test-induced design damage" that's referred to in the OP. Which is what made me think to leave my comment. If you have a one-off pure function that is not used anywhere but inside one module, why in the world would we want to create an interface, then make an impl, then inject that interface into our module? Rust code is also not as class-driven as some other languages, so often times a module is just a collection of free functions. You'd have to inject this interface into every function, when the thing is never going to be different.

> Maybe YANGI but the idea is that its a code smell that you can't easily test core functionality from the public API. Why is the API so subtle? Is this class doing too much, should you break it up? These are the questions I ask when a junior dev makes a method public just to test it.

I don't disagree with that. It very well could/should be considered a smell. But sometimes a piece of smelly code checks out. And, while it should be used sparingly, testing private functions can sometimes save us from making our "actual" code more complicated than it needs to be, just for the sake of testability. Sometimes we can get good testability without adding extra ceremony.

EDIT: Also, one of the things that I sometimes struggle with when writing tests is: which public function's tests are responsible for testing the private functionality?

In other words, let's say I have a private function that formats a date a specific way. Two public functions depend on that functionality, plus do other things.

How do I verify that my date formatter is correctly implemented? I can do the whole iterface+impl+injection dance so that I can test my formatter (which was supposed to just be private implementation detail, but is now public so I can test it), or I can add some asserts to my tests for one of the public functions that depends on it. But which one? Do I test it in both places? Do I pick a favorite? Do I leave a note in one test explaining why it seems more involved than the sister function?

Which is a problem when you see something that seems like it should help so you hire a consultant who can push the letter of the rules but doesn't understand it well enough to figure out how it should work in your organization.

I wasted a lot of time trying to get acceptance tests in here, they seem like a good idea but I can't get traction on them and the consultants preached the rules not how or why so the rules got roboticly followed with no helpful results. I'm still not sure if the concept is flawed or not just the execution but we threw it out.

There were two Holo themes: dark and light. You'd pick one and extend it with the style of your brand. My only gripe with it was that there's no built-in mechanism to add shadows to things — you have to use pre-rendered shadows as bitmaps or generate them on the fly.

Anyway, "dark mode" is totally doable with Holo.

It's because it's not binary.

The nature of the failure (errors where it 'forgot' to carry the one) suggest that it's doing something like basic arithmetic and making mistakes.

This is evidence in the direction of having a model of how to do basic arithmetic and evidence against memorization.

I'm not pretending that both outcomes mean it knows arithmetic. For example, if the outputs were random or if they only matched exact examples it had seen then it would look like memorization, but that isn't what's seen.

> This sounds like a feature rather than a bug. Website UI should not make sounds.

While I usually agree, the sounds that it does make are not intrusive. They're only in response to user events (page loading/loaded, something was clicked), aren't stupid-loud (IMO), are very brief, and don't include any spoken words. Think of hearing button feedback in sci-fi videos.

For what it's worth, I'm also using Firefox 79 and the sounds _do_ work after telling NoScript to enable Media from the site. They're loaded as MP3s.

CD revenue declined dramatically, and nothing really made up for the decline until the 2010s, when streaming came along. Total revenue from music sales (including legal downloads and streaming) bottomed out at about half of what it had been before Napster.

The reason for the decline is pretty clear: music was free and convenient to get online, and CDs were expensive.

But... what exactly did Rosalind Franklin do in this case, other than collect the raw data (not Nobel-worthy) and notice that it was consistent with a helix (not enough of the elucidation to be useful for molecular biology)? She didn't come up with any of the subtle guesses about nucleic acid pairing, antiparallel strands, or the exact atomic positions (later shown to be mildly erroneous due to the water/alcohol content).

it's clear Franklin was mistreated, but far from clear that there is evidence of Nobel-worthy work by Franklin in this case.
I agree, but we already conceded humanity's view of the daylit earth to private companies, so this is just another depressing step in the exact same direction.
All: a lot of comments in this thread are sneering at something: some person, some group, someone's work, someone's comments, or the rest of the community. Please don't do that on HN, even in response to sneers by others. It feels justified and maybe brings relief, but it fills the thread with nasty fumes and makes for a place no one can really enjoy. It's not in any of our interests.

Curiosity, which we're trying for here, doesn't sneer. It is open, more genuinely satisfying, and makes for a place that's better for everyone. That's in all of our interests.

The calculus of c Corp double taxation has actually shifted in the last few years due to the lower corporate tax rate of 21%.

Situations vary, of course, but if you paid yourself as a founder a base salary and then paid dividends, those dividends could be received at a 0% tax rate up to the first $77k for a married couple filing jointly.

So effectively, you would be paying only 21% tax on that 77k.

The traditional s-corp passthrough could shield some of the income from SS tax. But you are still going to pay full personal income tax on all of it because I don't think that dividends paid from an s-corp can count as "qualified dividends".

Additionally, c-corps have more leeway with fringe benefits. For example, I believe a c-corp can pay for a healthcare plan with pre-tax money where as you can't deduct that for an s-corp.
Yes, I'm pretty sure it would, or at least would have had this happened earlier. I'm not advocating for mob rule; I'm saying that riots are a response to the lack of justice that prevails. The police officer should have been arrested immediately on suspicion of attempted murder, much as Derek Chauvin should have been arrested immediately on suspicion of murder for killing George Floyd.

The reality is that police often shoot and kill with a sense of impunity because they enjoy considerable legal immunity, to the point that the identity of a police officer who carries out a shooting is often withheld from the public. I'm saying that any time a police officer shoots, kills, or seriously injures someone, they should be immediately relieved of duty pending a full inquiry, no matter what the circumstances. If there is a colorable suspicion of misbehavior (eg the shooting was not a case of returning fire or action during the commission of a crime), then they should be subject to arrest like any other criminal suspect, while retaining their full panoply of legal rights like presumption of innocence, access to counsel etc.

If a lot of people don't want to be cops who are subject to such restraints, good. I don't want cops who use force casually. What we have now is a system that throws the book at anyone who takes or threatens life (with far higher sentences than most other developed countries despite little evidence of a deterrent effect) while frequently applying light or no penalties, or sometimes no serious investigation, to police officers who commit similar acts. These inequities are compounded by economic and racial disparities in the application of force, legal sanctions and so on.

Unless you've lived in other countries or have significant first- or second-hand experience (including talking to current and former police officers) this might be hard information to accept.

> I've often found that an internal function might have a parameter that goes unused in any of the external tests,

It seems that you're still thinking about "code". What if you thought about "functionality"? If an external test doesn't test internal functionality, what is it testing?

> But sometimes it's just too difficult to set up an external test to guarantee that a deep-down race condition gets triggered in a certain way, but you can test that explicitly internally.

I would argue that if you're choosing an orders of magnitude worse testing strategy because it's easier, your intent is not to actually test the validity of your system.

> while internal tests can capture much of that.

We can agree to disagree.

> And if your test suite takes 3 hours to run, there are many types of organizational solutions for that... but this is the first I've everd heard of "write less tests" being one of them.

I was speaking about a real scenario that features a lot of the topics that you're describing. My point was not that it was good, my point was that testing dogmatism is very real and has very real costs. To describe writing/running lots of (usually unnecessary) tests as "cheap" is a big red flag.
> * The tooling is lacking.

Care to elaborate on this point? Maybe it's just because I'm coming from Haskell (lol), but my experience with OCaml's tooling has been pretty darn good.

While I don't think there's a heavyweight IDE for OCaml à la IntelliJ, in Emacs I get my error messages inline, on-the-fly checking (including type inference and checking, which is huge), and pretty good completion. All of this seems to "just work".

The build system also seems to "just work" and utop is pretty nice.
It is pretty "comfortable", but that's to say, "just enough". Each room is 12x12, there's no "free" space. There's no "extra" space in the house in general; for example the kitchen table is where all of the projects happen (wife was making some jewelry the other day, I've soldered and built computers and so on there).

The additional things we'd want are all luxuries.

* Indoor room where we can work out (treadmill, bike, elliptical are all in the garage)

* Master bathroom with an actual walk in shower, space where we don't have to squeeze past each other getting ready, etc.

* Closet space

* Garage that can be used for parking cars and bikes, working on things, etc. (I've had a bike on a stand in the backyard for a month now, as I work on building it, and parts strewn all over a patio table)

All totally unnecessary, of course. But given that we have a decently-sized lot for silicon valley (6000sqft) it would be nice to have more indoor space. Especially since I spent all my waking hours in here now :)
