C'mon Rayiner, it's not like Bangladesh is mostly populated by Europeans. As you said yourself: And if Bangladeshis were on the verge of becoming an ethnic minority in Bangladesh, political cataclysm would result.

To turn around and say the real Bangledeshis only remain in the hill tracts so contradicts your previous argument that I see little point in reading further; I'm not going to waste time on sophistry. I'm really disappointed in the direction of this conversation.
It has been figured out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risch_algorithm

The problem is that it's unknown if a symbolic equality algorithm exists for elementary functions and what those functions should be.

It is known that the general case is undecidable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson%27s_theorem
Facebook has become a mess, that's why a few years ago Elon Musk removed Tesla, SpaceX, and his page from the platform.

> o you even test your APIs with a sample audience, like real tech ignorant people and see how they are blind to all those and just click yes, and don't care?

I am sure that's part of the feature.
So if I understand correctly, I wouldn't be able to flash, say coreboot?
> You could just kill all of the people whose name starts with “A” or whatever but that still won’t get you the tax rebate. The people who made that rule would absolutely love it if you did blame the people who got the rebate though, because they’re the ones who should take the blame and if you ignore their role then they get away with it.

Favoritism isn't always some kind of hidden "divide and conquer" system. Sometimes it's just favoritism. And nobody wants to kill all the tax-rebate people, they just want the tax rebate reversed (or applied to all tax payers) so everyone pays their fair share.
Marginalised people living among e-waste in every Cyberpunk universe is already true anyways.
I am trying to parse that first blurb “tied to the event”. Are they saying that of the 460k that went to the event, 260k of them are somehow associated with a coronavirus case? It’s not really clear what “tied to” means in the article at least.
The rest of the world buys US treasuries cause we buy their goods. China buys treasuries because we buy goods with dollars. China has to do something with the dollars. They can buy goods or they can buy assets. They aren’t that interested in our goods, so they buy bonds. If they wanted to unload the dollars they certainly could, but that would weaken the dollar and strengthen the yuan and make it unattractive for the US to buy goods from them.

Despite the Fed going where they have not before (and probably shouldn’t go) the world probably isn’t going to dump treasuries because of it.
Manufacturers already sell unlockable/non-unlockable devices per-market. Not having this be international means they’ll just lock the device where they can.
> Despite this marked difference in virus replication in the lungs, reduction in viral shedding from the nose was not observed.

So vaccinated people will not get too sick, not self-isolate, but will still shed the virus? That sounds concerning for the non-vaccinated.

If this is what it sounds like would it be like making a /path directory and defining it as a union of all the directories containing executables. almost like an efficient and idiomatic way to create a single directory containing symlinks to all of your executables. How would it handle things like path precedence?
And I've heard that nothing you just said is true. Isn't that right?

Hearsay is not an argument.
I'm fine with nice graphics, they don't remove me from immersion any more than older, more basic graphics. My issue is when there is no substance to the game, when it's mostly eye-candy. As a Starcraft/Civ/Witcher gamer, I like complexity and decisions and which "era" of game graphics is mostly irrelevant. The mixture of games I play with pleasure spans from 1990's to 2020s, graphics are like music, atmospheric but not pivotal.
The difference is that we buy all the crap they make, not the other way around. Not to mention we spend more on the military than China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil - combined[1]. That can be a very compelling negotiation tool.

Also, I don't think globalization is a good thing. I agree it would be good for the US economy short term, but really would just lead to turning the world into the equivalent of this pic: https://www.alamy.com/stock-image-american-culture-fast-food...

That's fair and what you say makes sense in that context. Crockford doesn't have U/V problem either by the way, because it doesn't have U in its alphabet. It's only missing aliasing for it, so there is no possibility of passing on the wrong value by confusing V with U.

That just leaves 5 and S. Whole another standard just for that might be acceptable if the use case you mentioned (mostly upper-case) gets significantly more benefit from it.
I actually was surprised to see these are made, as I considered getting one for a few projects. The ones I saw were pretty expensive with some being resold on ebay for just under a thousand dollars. Reading some reviews though it seems yoy have to be careful as not all the boards may support what you want. Apparently a good many don't support DMA.
> I’ve heard that CDC has corrected down c19-related deaths to a merely 6% of the initially c19-reported deaths.

That sounds like the kind of big news you should have no trouble finding a citation for.

> The other 94% had other health issues as well and it can’t be said any longer that their death is related to c19.

That's a funny definition of "related". The presence of other contributing factors does not mean that none of the blame lies with the coronavirus.
You are right, however the same way with automatic differentiation, you never get the expression, with automatic integration it would be the same.

This is what distinguishes a normal iPhone from one that Apple engineers use, as well. If the fuse is blown, as it is in a production device, you can no longer control the boot chain.
Haha, this is the correct answer. I’d also consider looking into some of the build pack based methods of creating OCI images like https://buildpacks.io as they can save you a good amount of time on an ongoing basis.

The histrionics here are astounding considering they're about a _Save As_ dialog.
Yeah but the Fed can just make 7.5% more money and we're back at even and it won't even be bad because they're trying to increase inflation not decrease it.
Do you know Clonk? Minecraft is basically that, just in 3D and with some added things like a procedurally-generated world and stuff like hunger. But crafting, "blocks", extracting materials, mobs, multiplayer, creating new items, mechanics, scenarios etc for the game and so on were already there, many years before Minecraft.

Yes there is. Look up 'alt right'. The Republican party is not arguing for a white ethno state.

Hell the democrats are led by Joe Biden who believes in segregation (see Biden's 'jungle' comments about school desegregation), by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.
Risch is not automatic.
Only 6% of fatalities were listed as "only COVID-19 related", which means removing every fatality listed with a preexisting conditions. I don't see how that number is at all helpful for measuring the risk level to any general population.

Besides the other 94%, simply not dying is not the best metric either. The better metric is causing any serious harm, not just fatalities.

The authors spend 0 pages describing the basis for the $11,000 cost of asymptomatic cases. In fact they just blindly accepted the estimate from Kniesner and Sullivan (2020), who picked a number without doing any calculation of actual costs. So I stand by my assessment that this is junk science.

Right. And some of us are very opposed to that model taking over the majority of computing.
Ugh, my Win32 security knowledge is non-existent, but this sounds horrible. Seems to me that nothing marked 'from web' and non-executable should be loadable into a memory segment which can be executed, and nothing in the system partition should be overridable like this. This sounds like a flaw in the OS design.

The real irony of the comments on HN that "it's dead on mobile because Apple won't support it", is iOS is one of the few operating systems where this kind of API is trust worth. I would not expect iOS to give Safari privileges to see any files other data files the Safari process itself created by user interaction, or something on say, a Permission-protected directory (e.g. Photos). Ditto for OSX.

If anything, the API really a selling point for OSX/iOS security architecture, in that it can be made safe.

Because there is no known algorithm for deciding equality. It becomes automatic if we assume an oracle. Since deciding equality is an open problem and the answer is probably 'no there isn't a decidable equality algorithm' it is as good an answer as we are going to get.
Entities buy UST because there’s a demand for it. It’s considered the risk-free asset, so when you have billions in cash, you park them in UST because you know you can get it back.

But instead of having natural demand for UST, the Fed has started buying UST which have driven down the interest rates. And they started buying mortgages to drive down those interest rates as well.

But they’re doing it by creating money and buying them on the open markets. It’s basically monetizing their obligations which is unnatural and fake.

So if (and it’s a big if) the markets decide they don’t want anything to do with this, and would rather buy a Japanese government bond, the markets would get flooded with those products, causing interest rates to spike. They would take the USD and sell them and buy Japanese Yen for example. Again selling USD would cause the price to drop relative to other currencies.

Whether this is likely is another story.
The children are subsidizing all of society through their national debt obligations. Their parents are paying the expenses of the children right now, with subsidies from the government and employers.
The general public did not use any of these services. Yes, BBSes and the like were notable, but used by a tiny minority. Most computer users bought boxed software, and that was it.

Was anyone actually selling software over the internet in the 80's/early 90's at scale? I was under the impression that the answer is "no", but if there is a counterexample I'd love to see it.
In my experience the shifts that line up with childcare are given to those with children who express the need.

A job that respects childcare is more likely to retain those employees that need it, and that can be used as leverage.

If anything, I'm thankful for all those people with kids who will (a) take care of the continuation of the human race, and more selfishly (b) support our society and economy when I am too old to do so.

This is debatable. I’m of the opinion that there are too many humans on the planet, and that having children is a very resource intensive and polluting choice. I don’t think people who are having children as altruistic heroes but rather the opposite: selfish individuals.

If we take your argument to the absurd about cancer patients, I can say that encouraging coworkers to get children by giving more benefits is akin to give extra benefits to people who drive single occupancy SUVs to work while giving nothing to people who take mass transit, walk or bike.
Apple's aim with this is to make an example out of Epic, as if to say: "This is what happens when you don't toe the line, conform and everything will be fine".

That being said, this is scary and also shows how comfortable Apple feels in their position. I am hoping that someone as strong as Apple will come with a lawsuit and shake them up a bit so to speak.
I didn't see where the $11,000 estimate for asymptomatic cases came from (can anyone point to exactly where that's from?)

However, if it is the case that the authors did use that estimate for a per-asymptomatic case cost, then I think it's perfectly valid to throw out the rest of the paper as nonsense. I mean, the only reason anyone is talking about this paper at all is because the top-line number is so outrageously high. If a fundamental calculation going into that number is that patently ridiculous, I don't care if you have 15 pages or 1500 pages, adding more pages of numbers can't get around the absurdity of the underlying primary assumption.
That makes a lot of sense. I was really only considering things like persistent malware that flashes the BIOS. I still think it'll get abused eventually to devalue the second hand market, but I can see the appeal security wise.
Yes, only 6% of deaths attributed to covid can be /solely/ attributed to covid, otherwise the other 94% had other complications in addition to covid
The fed can keep interest rates low; it is literally what they are doing by buying the bonds.

In principle you should see higher inflation and a falling currency. However this policy (aggressive buying of all kind of bonds) has been persued by the Europeans and Japanese for years and it haven't really caused a collapsing currency or high inflation.

Some may argue that it suspends a natural reallocation of resources in the economy. And causes the economy to keep overallocating real resources into things like real estate and finance causing bubbles, malinvestment and zoombie institutions ultimately leading to lower growth.

However that assumes that you had a free market in the first place which you never really had.

You have taken the rules of a biological system and extrapolated them as a moral framework, placing a value judgement on it.

It is like saying the sky is blue, therefore the point of the sky existing is to be blue, or all physical interactions generate entropy, so the point of the universe is to create entropy.

Yes, life often replicates itself, but that is not why it exists. Any possible reason for existence is a story assigned by a conscious observer. Humans are conscious and decide their own purposes.

Lifeforms can have their own purposes, which may or may not involve reproduction. Yes, those that don't reproduce go extinct, but that doesn't mean their purpose is not fulfilled. There is no objective value in evolutionary fitness or replication.
If you look at the way most scammers work, it's even simpler than that. They simply phish people by sending them a link and telling them to run it for some reason (it'll fix their computer, it's a required security update, etc) or they tell them to install something like TeamViewer so they can help them eliminate security flaws, and call center scammers then pillage their box.

I'm amazed the the number of people still forwarding chain letters to me in Facebook, so who knows how many people fall for the "pass this Javascript into your browser console" trick.

The issue I have with that is that then a ton of companies think it's a good idea to ship a crappy "launcher" that needs to run on startup, taking up resources in the background while providing little to no added functionality. We can see that with PC games; it used to be just Steam, but now there's the Epic Games Launcher, Origin, GoG, and a bunch of more obscure launchers that need to be installed to play particular games.

I would be curious to see analysis for what home prices would be with 0 Fed intervention. Also, I don't understand how millennials aren't supposed to see this figure and immediately feel a sense of rejection, that the housing market is some form of a pyramid scheme, where you had to get in early to have a chance.
Also:

* 70% of global trade is currently denominated in USD (oil markets, commodities, etc)

* US has a lot of debt to other nations

* USD is the global reserve currency, giving the US fairly unique economic power and security

If the USD gets printed into significant devaluation in order to support assets (like bonds, houses, corporates, stocks), then it reduces the real value of the debts that the US owes to other countries (since denominated in USD), which erodes their faith as lenders. Taken together, this:

* Erodes confidence in the USD as a global reserve currency and causes governments to look to other stores of value (e.g., government buying of gold has recently been at an all-time high)

* Artificially inflates asset prices, leading to a bigger crash later when the government support is unable to continue (due to reduced confidence from foreign lenders)

That's all pretty terrible for the US and USD, if it happens.

But there's also an equally credible (though counterintuitive) theory that the USD will actually go up in value (deflation) due to every other country in the world needing to take similarly drastic action and the US being destabilized the least (i.e., the least bad of a set of bad options and everyone rushing into USD and US investments for relative safety).

Plenty of very smart people are on both sides of this argument, but everyone agrees that we are buying ourselves some significant future pain.
Then give money to companies that don't offer that model.

I have no understanding for anyone that buys Apple and then complains.
More interesting than they owning 1/3 of the mortgages is what quality is the mortgages they own. Are they all sub prime quality? If they are is this a strategy to save banks from a default crisis in the near future without taking the systemic hit like 2007.

We usually copy an existing one and just edit it to do what we want. I would say a day or two for someone that has never used docker to make a somewhat complex dockerfile

To get something simple running where you start with an existing file and just add your executable to the container, less than an hour.

You should hire somebody to manage the Kubernetes container infrastructure you'll probably end up with. Devops guys handle it where I've worked. Docker on a local machine is relatively simple, but deploying the containers to a production environment using Kubernetes is currently extremely complex
Great advice. On point 4 (partner with larger players) don’t be afraid to market yourselves as subcontractors/subconsultants to companies and coworkers you’ve worked with in the past. Even if you know they already have the expertise, consulting work has ebbs and flows so they often can use some additional staff when there is high project demand, especially in more complex or niche projects.

Absolutely, but there’s no alternative short of no school.

Our first grader is still adapting. Historically he got maybe 20m of screen time a day max. Now it’s about 4.5 hours. There’s a lot of movement breaks and some non screen activity (quiet draw or read), but it’s still a lot of screen time. He’s often pretty bored.

For preschool when they could not open for in person the most they could offer was about 30m a day. That was basically story time and sharing so kids could say hi. Many families opted out.
