I see this kind of comment pop up every time DuckDuckGo is brought up. It makes me wonder what the disconnect is.

My speculation is that it's all in how you search. When I first started using Google, I learned how to craft my search precisely to get the exact results I needed. More keywords, filtering based on the site(s) that I might want, etc. Years later, this influences how I search considerably.

In contrast, most people I know who use Google tend to use much looser terminology and Google gets it roughly correct regardless. When searching for more obscure information I can generally outperform them but otherwise they're getting 90% of the way there

As a result my searches on DuckDuckGo haven't given me any worse results than Google would give me. If anything, they've gotten better (even setting aside bangs)

Honestly, your comment does a better job of describing your original and follow up posts more then the article.

Your original post pulled the following: "Still, President Trump consistently ignores that reality." This statement in the article is then followed up with facts on the current situation. It's pretty fine journalism.
Really enjoyed seeing this broken down and explained. Is a function like that considered idiomatic Rust?

I cannot stress the need to get a good home inspector (my be even multiple) - even for a normal home. It's worth the money - I learned the hard way because I trusted a checklist inspector.
There are cartridges which allow you to load games onto a micro SD card. They can be used to load homebrew games or roms obtained from less than legal means.

I had one for the original DS and obtained ROMs for the cartridges that I owned. It was convenient to have them all in one place when traveling without having to bring a bunch of cartridges with me.

>> Building a massive production line with complex equipment and training only to be bankrupt in 6 months is a fools errand.

> Not if they can make all of their money back in 6 months via extreme prices. However we are past the "extreme prices" phase of the pandemic.

But to do that, you'd have to bring the new production capacity online on day 1, which is unrealistic. The timelines just don't make sense. New factories don't just pop into existence; it take time to build them and bring them online.

The main thing that would actually happen if price gouging was allowed is that parasitic middlemen would drive up the prices of existing stock by flipping it (making only a personal profit and doing no social good). Existing manufacturers might do that too, if they're not concerned with losing goodwill by pissing off their current customers.
What moral philosophy? I saw only rationalization in the article that failed to articulate the difference.

"Burdick warned, their very lack of interest in contemplating the possible consequences of their work stood as a terrible danger. Indeed, they might “radically reconstruct the American political system, build a new politics, and even modify revered and venerable American institutions — facts of which they are blissfully innocent”.

That description could apply equally to any activist advocating for change. It is vacuous in that sense as it applies to civil rights activists, monarchists, utopian reformers seeking technocracy, communism, or some other bizzare system.

Plus calling people war criminals just for doing math? What is anti-intellectualism if not damning people for trying to understand complex systems because they might use it for evil?
Yep you are correct. I assumed it would just have worked. Just updated Firefox and it's the default! Sweet relief!

Hospitals are designed to operate without power by adding generators on-site.

Surely there should be some thought put into how to operate a hospital in case of a network/IT outage.
Interesting, it doesn't look particularly geared toward mechanical parts, but I'll have to check this out!
That's not how contracts in business work. It's not a promise. It's a legal contract. In business, you're allowed to break contracts, and there is no moral harm. Rather, there are damages.

If I promise to buy a car from you for $100,000, and you spend $10,000 to make it, and I discover I don't need the car anymore, in most cases, I can walk away paying you $10,000. If you continued doing unneeded work, that'd be bad economics. If you could rake me over the coals and ask to me to pay $50k, that'd be exploitative. In most cases, the outcome of a broken contract is that I try to set things right for you by either:

* Paying you costs incurred

* Paying you expected profits

* Or similar.

Courts calculate damages by a range of formulas, which then sets standards for how business is conducted, and in most cases, people don't go to court but just agree to pay damages.

This is foreign to how most people think about agreements; it's a very different culture. But if you talk to lawyers or executives, that's how they reason about contracts.
Just because every now and then it shows something interesting or different doesn't mean that they aren't stale for the most part.
Yep! See my comment about the lifetimes, though, you may not actually write them out in the real code, but conceptually, this is Rust's bread and butter.
They've been willfully negligent and reckless to the infrastructure they own to service their customers.

No doubt, but I'm just pointing out the reality -- make them responsible for any size fire set off by their equipment, and they will respond by turning off electricity during high fire danger periods. This isn't something that "might" happen, this is exactly what did happen.

So simply assigning more liability is not the answer.
That's not the behaviour observed in the past. E.g. bottled water after Katrina was sold at eye watering prices, by the crate, to those who could afford it even though others actually needed water urgently. It still went in large quantities to people stockpiling.

Capitalism isn't effective at distributing by need, only by ability to pay.
Nintendo insisted that the 3DS was not being replaced by the switch, in the same way that they told me that the game boy line would keep going after the DS began.

People who feel invested in their company will contribute more to that company. It also can be a source of pride and accomplishment. You can be a cofounder and software developer just as someone else can be a cofounder and CEO.
Somebody remind me: why does a hospital need to have their critical infrastructure interfacing with the public internet?
Data? It's literally the definition of supply and demand. And when there is competition in the marketplace, lower prices and accepting smaller margins is inevitably used to gain competitive advantage. If prices stay artificially high (and uniform) across multiple manufacturers after there is plenty of product in the marketplace, then there may be collusion. Collusion is illegal and should be prosecuted accordingly.

And to address your alarmism: if people are dying, it's safe to assume that a lack of PPE contributes to that. And people don't have PPE because the free market isn't being allowed to produce it. That's the point.

I'm not the one "sticking" to an ideology.
Given there has been an essentially infinite demand for any PPE, even insufficient PPE, it's very possible that producing face shields and hand sanitizer was a better business decision from a purely financial perspective. That's why the government needs to take leadership in these scenarios--market incentives often aren't enough to produce what's needed in response to large-scale disasters.
I'm all for the concept, but so far, everything I've seen has been nothing but concept.
Remoty – work like you're in the same office
Hey Show HN!

We’d love some feedback on remoty (https://remoty.dev) which helps teams reach their full potential with powerful time-tracking and progress update workflow in Slack.

What does it do?

- Boosts your team coordination using intuitive time tracking commands.
- Helps you save hours in meetings by organizing async daily stand-up meetings.
- Helps you track billable hours, generate scrum logs and export CSV timesheets of your team.

Why’d we built it?

We devised a workflow in our company to create an essence of working in the same office by increasing visibility over availability and statuses of team members. This workflow had 2 basic steps
1. Announce your check-in/check-out/breaks followed by two or three words to give context in a dedicated channel.
2. Turn in your standup notes (even if we already had a team standup call) while checking in or out so as to maintain records of standup notes.

We saw a real change in our team’s coordination and productivity over the period of next few weeks. We then started to think on the lines of automation so that the data that was being collected could be put to good use as well.
This all led to us to build remoty!

We're constantly trying to understand our customers and improve the product. Some of our existing customers are requesting for a shift/leave management feature while others are looking for a more comprehensive task management solution. Would really appreciate feedback from you all on how we can improve remoty!

We’re offering remoty absolutely free for next two months just drop me an email at mahad@remoty.dev to claim your discount! Please headout to https://remoty.dev to give remoty a shot!
If you can SSH directly into both systems, then you don't need to print anything directly to the terminal. You can go:

ssh system1 'cat payload' > temp
cat temp | ssh system2 'cat > payload'

Or cut out the middleman, as long as getting two password prompts isn't too confusing:

ssh system1 'cat payload' | ssh system2 'cat > payload'

I've found the base64/copy-paste trick useful when I can't do a conventional SSH. Usually this is when one of the machines is accessed via a serial console.

In that scenario, it can help to compress the data before base64-ing it:

machine1$ cat payload | gzip | base64
<output>
machine2$ base64 -d | gzip -d > payload
<paste output>
No it doesn't. It means to resist harmful infection.

If you catch a serious disease, like HIV, malaria, etc, and you die, you have an immune system response - it just failed.

Even people that die of COVID had an immune system response. It just couldn't cope with it.

The somewhat frightening thing is that our immune system, literally right now, is fighting the good fight and saving your life.

One of the confusing aspects of AIDS is that you don't die from AIDS - you die from the opportunistic infections that happen from not having an immune system.
It's more complex than that: https://reason.com/2020/09/14/western-wildfires-can-be-preve...
> "I was just following orders" does not defend one's actions

I hope you don't take the truth of that statement to mean that the leaders who ordered the Holocaust weren't morally culpable for the deaths of 11 million if they didn't personally kill someone themselves.
The things you mentioned are better when presented visually. Visual representations leverage the visual processing system of the human brain, and for graph-like data are near-objectively superior to linear textual representations.

However, you can approximate visual representations of these things in a CLI - `git log --graph --pretty=oneline --decorate --abbrev-commit` will use ASCII characters to draw the DAG of commits.

Moreover, the GitHub web GUI is not "amazing". It's tolerable as far as web UIs go, but it's missing a lot of keyboard shortcuts (and none of them are customizable), has no built-in extensibility (the fact that you can inject your own scripts and stylesheets is a hack only at the display level, and an impractical one at that), EDIT: isn't scriptable, and is incredibly resource-intensive relative to a native application. The GitHub CLI allows you to manage the non-git parts of GitHub from the command-line (and make your own GitHub native client by extension) - which is desirable, given the above.
Assuming nuclear truly can be ultra safe, how do you convince a public that has seen Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima to get on board? Particularly when the "competition" (solar, wind, etc) has such a strong tailwind.
Agree with your position on this, your take sounds very sensible. I wondered at the start of this if some of the larger DNA databases would be mapped and analysed to look for markers for this exact sort of thing. ( 23andme, DOD, ancestry )

You are making a good argument for the initial lockdown, not this continuing insanity. We should have started challenge trials on day one, I would have been first in line to try this new respiratory virus (and I did sign up to participate in one project that has still not been approved). From there we could have evaluated the risk to different groups, and started building population immunity in the best way for overall public health. Instead, we went down the most cowardly and destructive path possible, and it is a travesty. The people who led us here should be sacked.
Sure, I could say whatever I wanted at the pub or Speakers' Corner

No, even at the pub there are limits to what you can say, however that's usually governed by a social contract, not a law. The lack of social contract (or rather, social ramifications) is what makes the situation on the Internet different.

Seeing as there is a lot or harangue and no data being presented, here is some data
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s42408-019-0041-0#...

In general, the study contends that the fires are fuel-dominated (too much forest) and not wind-dominated fires. It also contends that the California drought climate has contributed significantly to the problem.

> On the timber-rich interior US Forest Service (USFS) forests of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, anomalously large fuel loading due to a century of successful fire suppression and timber harvesting practices has been a dominant factor

The problem is likely too much forest at these level of droughts, so forest management bears some responsibility. Economically speaking though if PG&E has been given such a lucrative business opportunity as a sanctioned monopoly, they ought to be held responsible as well.

Also, the part that is not clear to me and I would appreciate if someone has an answer - speaking cynically, if PG&E as a private company causes damage and tax payers pay, and if PG&E as a state run company causes damage and tax payers pay, why do I care who runs it? Is it just that the prevailing politics in California is that corporate=bad and civic=good?

This is unbelievably silly.

Your parents can't handle a highly-memorable name like "Duck duck go"? It sounds like the childhood game "duck duck goose".

You even admit that they couldn't handle Google at first either. You can't win with your parents.

Google only became a verb because of what it was, not because of the name.

"uck" is not unfriendly. It's a duck! Ducks are adorable. It's friendly.

Google is a misspelling of a word that most people STILL don't know to this day, despite using Google for 20 years.

If the name mattered, Yahoo should be kicking Google's ass right now. Or Bing: Short, easy, fun.

None of it matters.
It mostly does. Those cases you mention are quite rare.

Live debug Go in prod using eBPF
I managed to forget most of them after about 5 years of not doing it. I can intuitively get the first two layers now, but the top seems too difficult without knowing the sequences.

I like messing about with a Megaminx also, and it's the same for that. I can get the first couple of layers just thinking about it intuitively, but then I get stuck on the top layer.

At some point I'll relearn the sequences again, but I haven't yet.

Also picked up a 2x2 cube recently, and that one has me pretty stumped. You'd think it'd be easier to figure out but I haven't figured it out yet.

> But I think decentralization and legal liability are better solutions. Drop section 230 and it becomes legally fraught and prohibitively expensive for Facebook to allow disinformation and hate groups to organize on its platform.

No it doesn’t. Because of free speech laws in the US, there is no legal liability for whatever it is you are calling “disinformation and hate groups.” Moderation has created remedies against speech that have never existed before.

> Finally, consider that our democratic process in the US needs to be more resistant to polarization and radicalization. First past the post voting and a lack of proportional representation are the key drivers of broken democracy in the US over the last thirty years.

How would proportional representation work? It seems like most approaches would deemphasize the states, which would cause more polarization in my opinion. The polarization is driven by the fact that folks in New York want to micromanage folks in Iowa in a way that rarely happens even in unitary countries, much less putatively federal ones. In Bavaria they recently passed a law requiring Christian crosses to be displayed in all public buildings. Nobody is getting the federal government of Germany involved to overturn that law. But that’s the playbook for achieving any social change (sometimes good, sometimes bad) here in the US. Of course Germany manages to have a robust federal system as well as proportional representation, but the focus on voting reform seems to be mainly on increasing the power of the central government.

Yeah I guess it's mostly about not knowing Haskell syntax so the code samples don't really do much for me, and not knowing any category theory so that's no use either.

I mean the Haskell wiki[1] is no use to a guy like me. Not a complaint, it's a reference after all. Wikipedia[2] isn't much better, which I do find slightly disappointing.

At least the Wikipedia article has some links to the concepts involved so should be doable to interpret the terse article after a bit of extra reading.

Pretty great, but that poor chicken.

The article and your wondering doesn't provide enough evidence that we should go counter to not trying to spread the virus in the first place. Social distancing, hygiene and a vaccine are much more definitive ways to combat a severe second wave than hoping magically some people have built-in immunity or some unknown environmental trigger results in a similar immune response.
I should say it resembles the case of Baltic Republics eighty years ago. Hong Kong's democracy did not go through some sort of decadence, it was just stepped on by the far larger power that controls it.
