Technically true, but man oh man do we have a ways to go before the war on drugs is mitigated[1]. Based on the trend of the last ~10 years, we're due to reach 1980 levels of prison population in the 23rd century[2].

> Coronavirus pandemic could cause 40 million deaths if left unchecked

What data can we base this on? Humanity has taken measures to ensure that the pandemic doesn't get to those levels, so any real-world data is obviously going to be much less than 40 million.
Bittorrent. No, really. Lots of nice behaviors when transferring large amounts of data between arbitrary endpoints.

Transferring the torrent metadata is pretty trivial and can be done via a wide range of methods, and having that flexibility can be nice.

Unlike HTTP, you get reasonable retry behavior on network hiccups.
Also, more robust data integrity guarantees, though a manual hash test is probably a good idea either way.

At least among people I'm throwing TBs of data around with, torrent infra is common and it's nice to not have to deal with some special-purpose tool that, in practice, is probably a pain in the ass to get compatible versions deployed across a range of OSes. Basically every platform known to man can run a torrent client of some sort.

And obviously, no dependency on an intermediary. This is good if you're trying to avoid Google et al. That does, however, bring a potential con: if my side is fast and your side is slow, I'm seeing until you're done. If I'm uploading something to gdrive or whatever, I can disconnect one r the upload is done. If you control an intermediary like a seedbox, that's less of a problem.

In general, though, torrents are pretty great for this sort of thing. Just encrypt your stuff beforehand.
Xiaomi, Oneplus, and Huawei do phone design. To be fair, the design involves choosing from US/Taiwan designed/fabricated chips and gluing them together with firmware and PCB layouts, so it's not like China can replicate the entire phone manufacturing supply chain either.
> accurately identify the contents of water bottles

"accurately" -- rolls eyes.

Put a small bottle of silicone lube in your carry-on and watch the slapstick.

Apparently silicone lube comes up as a totally unusual color on TSA carry on screens. At least in Austin, TX--nobody recognizes it (I bet SFO wouldn't have this problem).

I had 4 fairly small, young ladies mulling over a bottle that I had forgotten about (normally my luggage is totally air travel optimized but I had been doing a lot of driving travel with my wife and didn't do a good enough purge). I was like, look, it's under the limits, but just throw it out. I'm not in a hurry but I also don't want to be held up forever and miss my plane over an $8 dollar bottle of liquid.

In spite of the quite obvious labeling, one of the young ladies decided to get a bit snippy and demand what it was. Erm. Okay. It's written on the side of the bottle, but you asked for it.

So, I got to explain in excruciating and visceral detail in my rather stentorian voice that small women like her and her cohorts often need a bit of help when they attempt to have sex with someone who has an enormous dong like mine. THAT was the purpose of the bottle that has the words "sexual lubricant" emblazoned on the side.

All four of the women blushed to the top of their ears. Quite a few people in line chuckled. My wife rolled her eyes with her "I'm so put upon" expression. They finally threw the bottle out and waved me through.

At the gate board, a Good Ole Boy Texan--hat, boots, and belt buckle-stopped us with a full drawl "That was great and they so deserved that. How bout I buy y'all a beer?"

It was a good beer.

> The most common denial reason is for doctors ordering brand name drugs that cost 10x more than a generic, but have no data to show they are any better. Or drugs that aren’t shown to have any effect, but doctors just want to appease the patient or experiment.

My diabetic friend has documented bad reactions to the expensive name brand insulin and a couple of others, but not a specific cheap (relatively speaking) one.

His insurance mandates that he use the name brand exclusively and will categorically deny any other form of insulin.

Now, maybe this doctor is just prescribing insulin to a fucking diabetic to appease the patient, but for some reason I doubt that's the case.
Ask HN: More open access online resource in higher education amid the pandemic?
Since the pandemic starts, most higher education has to be delivered online. As a result, lots of great online content must have been generated by awesome professors all over the world. Even better, some of them have decided to make it open to the public, for example, Terence Tao [announced](https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2020/03/14/course-announcement-math-247b-classical-fourier-analysis/) that his Math 247B will be available for everyone. So I am wondering if there is a trend of more openness for online higher education. Do you happen to encounter some awesome resources that you want to share? Also, what prevents the school/professor from releasing their content?
I work with geneticists and they all seem to use wetransfer for big data files.
Since 5GB would take quite a long time to upload on DSL: almost universally dropbox, simply because it resumes + it's accessible to people with a url. If the recipient is ssh-friendly and there's a shared machine we can both access, rsync is quite a lot faster and more controllable and doesn't make my CPU angry for hours.

Otherwise I liked Firefox Send while it was running since I mostly trust them to not be full of intrusive nonsense.

> unconstitutional ex-post-facto punishment

This point makes no sense. A properly passed amendment to the Constitution (presumably what is meant by update) can never be unconstitutional by definition. Furthermore, prohibiting ex-post-facto laws means you can't pass a law which criminalizes actions in the past. But courts don't pass laws, they interpret them. There's plenty of cases where courts interpret a law in a new way because of new situation. For example, I'm sure Clayton County is going to face applicable penalties under Title VII after Bostock v. Clayton County (recent LGBT discrimination ruling).

That would have been nice, if students actually internalized the dates they've been taught.

Memorizing dates is as dull as it can be, without having motivation from knowing the context. Dull things get crammed for tests and then forgotten, with near zero retention when those people grow up and actually want to use the context.

Even if dates were more important than causes, they stick less, reducing the utility of teaching them.

>Either our founding document matters as the backbone of our Laws or it doesn't.

Nitpick, the constitution isn't a founding document. There was that whole Articles of Confederation thing.

Congress isn't the final authority of if laws are constitutional or not. The courts are. Congress and the Supreme Court commonly disagree on the constitutionality of laws. What you're proposing is essentially a oligarchy lead by the Supreme Court.

>Your outlandish logic nullifies any power that the government may have over it's people. It nullifies the social contract.

There is no social contract based on the constitution. It's just that enough people agree that it has value, so it does. That's not a social contract. No regular people voted on the Constitution. You don't have the ability to reject it if you don't agree with it.

This reminds me of how early mechanical television cameras worked. Scenes like these [1] were recorded with a flying spot camera that scanned a dark room with a narrow beam of light. Photocells placed around the room picked up the reflected light. Such a photocell appears to "illuminate" the area around it in the footage.

Yet there is a central authority involved in this problem: the Fraternal Order of Police. It is that Fraternity that accepted, and made common, these "courtesy cards" as a way of business. The corruptive rot clearly has centralizing forces. The FOP and the police unions have the ability to combat them centrally and presumably enforce a higher standard of behavior, if they wanted to, just as they had a hand in creating the corruptions in the first place. If they wanted to fight it (they probably don't).
The fact that you belive you can "sum up the ingredients to make a well rounded meal from a bunch of separte foods" shows that you don't get it:

You cannot do that because you incorrectly think that there is all there is to food: there are many things that we eat all the time which we are not aware of that end up being important to our diet.

It's arrogant to think you can "sum" ingredients and actually get all the nutrients that you need.
That looks nice! But there are two downsides:

- Your solution requires Synergy. In my experience, Synergy has been buggy--or at least extremely finicky--every time I've tried it since release circa 2001. When it comes to input devices, I want things to be basically flawless. So I like this very simple fix better.

- The posted solution is cross-platform between Mac and Windows, which is a common use case. Yours relies on Autohotkey, which is awesome on Windows but, last I checked, terrible on Mac OS.

It's not about having a name in front of the static method, it's about e.g. say I have IO readers, and I want to provide a method to drain a reader, or copy a reader to a writer, why should such methods have to be class members?

If the only reason is because the language doesn't permit otherwise (like Java) then it's essentially nothing but extra boilerplate. When you write a lot of code, this all adds up. Inevitably, over time, folk will grumble. There are simpler ways to express such things in other languages.

Visualizing Geo IP Information Using Python
Yeah, but from that same Wikipedia article:

> It is easy to establish this result for polygons, but the problem came in generalizing it to all kinds of badly behaved curves, which include nowhere differentiable curves, such as the Koch snowflake and other fractal curves, or even a Jordan curve of positive area constructed by Osgood (1903).

So to some extent, the reason why such an "obvious" statement requires a complicated proof is because our everyday notions of what a "closed curve" is are much more restricted than what we consider in mathematics. This is kind of common in maths, especially in fields with a lot of visual intuition.
> The reason why we won't have NYC or SF looking like Star Trek¹ is that the people are already wealthy and they chose to live here in the way it is so the people who would want Star Trek SF won't come to present-day SF to make it into Star Trek SF

I'm not so sure about this -- the people who've moved to SF in the last 10 years have absolutely changed SF, and did not move to SF because they liked the way it is; they moved here because of work.
>But courts don't pass laws, they interpret them.

This is a common misconception. Courts don't pass statutes, but they certainly create law. Nearly every ruling from any sort of appeals court answers a question of law which is then binding on everyone under the jurisdiction of said court.

This is the essential difference between a common law and civil law system. There are still rulings in the US that cite old English cases from before 1776 as the basis of the law in this country.

Of all the people I know at FAANG companies and that I interacted with while at Google, only one of them has a degree from one of those schools (a MS from Stanford done while they were already at Google). The idea that they mostly recruit from top-tier programs is false. Certainly being at those programs is a huge help, but by no means even remotely close to a requirement.

I have been recruited by a few FAANG companies (recruited in the sense that a recruiter reached out for an interview) and have only gone to public schools, nothing impressive.

PyTorch was a revelation after spending time with Tensorflow tutorials.
Was going to post this in response to a comment stating that COBRA is affordable and when you can't you qualify for medicaid, but it was deleted. Here's some uncomfortable facts:

In truth, most can't afford COBRA and many of the most COVID hard-hit industries don't even have that option because they were never offered employer-based healthcare to begin with

A lot of Conservative|Libertarian folks will tell you: "The current system works and when it fails there are social protections to help people." This is simply a nice fantasy perpetuated by those that have never had to rely on the American social safety net. In truth, our social safety net has never been that strong and has been weakened by ~60 years of conservative-led entitlement cuts while we have expanded military spending and corporate welfare.

Most workers who've lost their job cannot afford an additional $20k/year for COBRA while not being employed (see quote from EPI below). In fact, it's much worse than that: 50% of Americans struggle to confront an unexpected $400 expense. (https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/2018-repor...)

Check these statements from the director of the Economic Policy Institute: (https://www.marketplace.org/2020/05/13/cobra-health-insuranc...)

"""

EPI (Economic Policy Institute) research director Josh Bivens said that fewer than half of all workers receive health insurance from their employer, and COVID-19 has hit the hardest among workers with low pay and meager benefits. “Job losses so far in this crisis have been pretty concentrated in sectors like accommodations and restaurants that don’t tend to offer employer-provided health insurance,” he said.

Workers who get their health insurance through their employers can keep it. Under a provision of federal benefits law called COBRA, most employees who lose or leave a job can remain on their employer’s health plan for at least 18 months.

But it isn’t cheap.

“Very few people sign up for COBRA,” said Matthew Rae, associate director of the Health Care Marketplace project at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “And the reason is, it’s unbelievably expensive. The worker’s got to pay the full cost, so you end up paying — for a family of four — somewhere north, on average, of $20,000 a year.”

"""

The gap from "affording cobra" to "no assets and no income" which is the basic requirement for medicaid is pretty far. States use the federal poverty guideline which has been kept too low for years due to politics to determine eligibility. For a single person that's $12,490 and for a family of four that's $25,750. Where in the US are either of those a livable wage? Do any of those places have reasonable access to work and social services?

In fact, I'm actually surprised that only half of American's fear this. I'd surmise that those who don't are either unaware of the potential for the looming crisis or otherwise fatalistic.
