A bit sad to see that you have to fill out a typeform to get access to the code. I'm sure if it is actually FOSS (GPL or MIT or such) then there will be public forks on gitlab or whatnot.

Looks cool though. Might be viable to adapt to different screen sizes too? I know the remarkable is already hackable, but can't hurt to have competing UI concepts there, right ? :)
I actually came here to note how cheap it is in the USA.

It's amazing that there are so many cheap computing platforms available now. Not that long ago the One Laptop Per Child project seemed like a pipe dream, assuming it meant providing any reasonable quality hardware.

Mathematics is the exploration of the a priori. Historically some axioms have been deemed more real than others. I think Gauss rejected non-eulidean geometry for instance. But this point of view has changed. With abstract algebra, and I believe also computer science, modern mathematics is about exploring connections between structures such as they emerge from stipulated axioms and rules of inference. It is science in the sense that ideas and hypotheses can be tested experimentally. But a proof requires more than non-falsification. Then there is the complication of potentially irreducible computation problems, where essentially a kind of mining of the computational space is the only way forward. This is the new kind of science Stephen Wolfram speaks of.

No, it is not. The media in my experience has been quite clear that it may or may not involve vaccination, and that Sweden has been attempting to achieve it without vaccination. And the actual private statements of those managing it also talk about achieving widespread immunity through natural infection, not vaccination

Eg, Newsweek:
' "herd immunity," which is when up to 70 percent of the population have either been given a vaccination or been infected, impacting the rate of the virus spread.'

Giesecke to Tegnell: "it will all come to an end when so many have been infected and become therefore immune that the virus has nowhere else to go (so-called herd immunity),"
Tegnell to Giesecke: "as immunity rises in the population, the rate of spread of the disease decreases, ....Is there a way of modelling how the spread comes to a halt?"

You are absolutely correct.

The CCP gains legitimacy from brining prosperity to the Chinese people. This prosperity is off the back of human rights violations, bullying other countries and corporate espionage. It is time we boycotted China. The whole world must turn its back on China to show this behaviour is not acceptable. It may hurt in the short term, but will benefit all of humanity in the long term.

I read HN almost every day, going on 10 years now. I have a sense, judging by when gender issues get discussed and women such as myself pipe up obviously, it's in the low 10s or at best 20% but more likely on the lower side.

My note on Beauvoir, I read plenty of her when younger and her mix of intellectual rigour with fierce independence was illuminating for me, definitely she influenced how I live as an independent thinker. She focused on facts and historical analysis to get her arguments across, without appeal to emotion. She also lived a true life of love and courage, and fought hard for her beliefs. Would recommend her biography to anyone interested in the history of 20th c feminism.

There is a quick setting with a bar inside a circle, which shuts of any attention grabbers. If you still need some of those, you can allow them in the app-details notifications settings. Back on blackberry you controlled that similarly by defining important contacts, who are allowed to ignore mute. Even the palm pre had that functionality.
I’d go for Stripe because you’ll seem more professional, especially as a B2B SaaS. It’s really not that bad, they’ve made it easy to integrate payment collection and a few webhooks to get you started.

Despite being published in Nature, the two articles you cited aren't scientific papers. I've been looking and asking for evidence that long-term damage and reinfections occur except in rare cases for months. This isn't it.

Maybe social isolation until we have a (necessarily rushed) vaccine (if we ever get one) and of which we then have to produce billions of doses does save a few lives. But that is not guaranteed and it's not worth the suffering till then.

> Explain to me why you or I should take the tiniest bit of risk of becoming a statistic, instead of wearing a mask.

Because live is inherently risky. If you truly wanted to avoid every tiny risk, you couldn't even leave your house.

A few weeks of suffering for some of the population is nothing compared to months of suffering for all of them.
And please, stop pretending being forced to wear masks is the only measure we have to endure.

Week 02 2017 France and neighbors had mortality of around 12 standard deviations above the baseline. I think number of standard deviations are a bad measure when the data is so chaotic, especially since the standard deviation can vary strongly from year to year and from country to country. Lets say that one country had a few lucky years with few abnormalizes, while another country faces catastrophes regularly. Then a minor catastrophe in the first country will look way worse than in the second.

Nobody checks motivation. It is legal to file DMCA for anything. As it stands, the hosting providers don't even verify the validity, or the good-faith requirement, because they don't want to get in a fight that could cost them the safe harbor protection. So even invalid DMCA requests usually mean the content will be blocked for a couple of days and the accused party will have to lawyer up to put together a counter-claim.

They are being represented: they’re treated equally in the store. But they chose to throw a fit. Also your linking this to that historical event doesn’t fit. There’s no ocean between the two parties: app review and email fix that. Communication is also instant. And most of all this isn’t a platform with a relationship that users can change. Users here being Epic a seller of software. It’s not a democracy and it need not be. It’s a platform that one can (and has in Epic’s case) agree to the terms and get access to billion users who are by far and a way much more likely to spend and who do spend more in apps than their Android counterparts.

Show HN: Gitlint – linting your Git commit messages
No company would fight the good fight for the same reasons. This can only be fixed by changing the law. Not to mention find and persecute the parties who were paid directly or indirectly to pass this legislation. RIAA lobbyists (and all other corporate lobbyists) don't lobby in the sense of arguing for something. They use stick and carrot techniques against legsitlators. It's practically raketeering.
I honestly can't tell if it's that, or the people commenting on HN on this topic are sociopaths who are unfazed at the prospect of hundreds of thousands of unnecessary, needless deaths in the pursuit of potentially being right.
Rendering Millions of Objects on Blender

I forgot to mention the fit is better due to the software; it can simulate occlusion from adjacent teeth and also from opposing teeth, and marks in red areas of overlap before you even mill the part, which helps get consistency and minimizes repeat visits and rework. Thanks for mentioning the bit about the forge/kiln, as I haven’t seen that part either.

The major pain point in his workflow is working with scans from older scanners and their file format quirks. He usually opens those scans in a less-capable but more compatible software, then exports to the format his main software uses, which is made by the vendor of his milling machine. Definitely risks of vendor lock-in, but he is aware of the trade-offs and is always looking for better technology. The pricing of the hardware and software seems pretty steep and maybe ripe for disruption, but for his workflow, he’s still pretty happy with how much he makes for how hard he works.

No, as long as the researcher was not bound by the grant to publish in the open and published in a journal/conference with a copyright, you do not have the legal right to get it, even if taxpayers funded the research.

It’s fucked that the law doesn’t stipulate open publications for taxpayer funded research, but that’s an issue with the law. Academic publishing isn’t a “fraud” in the normal definition.
Is anyone taking Deno seriously? I try to follow the latest trends in front-end development, and I haven't heard anything about Deno for a while. It didn't sound very attractive when I read about it, and I'm not excited about switching. I'll begrudgingly start using it if the community decides that it's better. Their dependency management idea also seems pretty bad to me, and it would be difficult to maintain. NPM + Snowpack [1] feels like a much better system.

I think Node.js is probably going to stay the winner for now, but that might just be me.

In Pascal you can define functions inside other functions. So if, as is often the case, the file consists of one public function that calls a number of private ones this can be enforced without needing to put them in separate files.

In newer languages like C# you can do the same. Probably works in lots of other languages too, see Rosetta Code: Nested Function:

> You can configure Git to look in multiple places for repo objects.

What do you mean by multiple places for repo objects? Do you mean multiple remotes? The remotes are fully inside your local database if you run commands like git pull or git remote update, they are just not in your checkout. Commands like git show <commit hash> work on commit hashes in those remotes as well, even if it's not in one of your local branches.

Or do you mean configuring git to use multiple .git/objects directories? I haven't heard of that feature, can you give a link?

Totally agree that most PCs have terrible analog sound quality, often plagued with EMI noise and other distortions. I still find BT to be a pain on Linux and Windows (unlike Mac / iOS, where Apple has really figured out the experience). I ended up buying a bunch of Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapters for $9 each. Fantastic audio quality and tiny enough to leave permanently attached to headphones. The only catch is they aren't great with very high impedance headphones unless you add an external amplifier.

The spoiler-y part is in the comment I replied to; my referencing the film in that context makes clear what spoiler I’m alluding to without making it obvious to those who haven’t seen the film or are otherwise unaware of the plot.

I try not to get in the way of a narrative just to make my own minor point, which is that it’s a good film on a hard topic, and if this topic interests you, perhaps so too will this film.

Thanks for the chuckle, nonetheless.
As a young broke European I sometimes weep on how cheap computing hardware is in the US compared to here.

Like, my face radiates with joy when I read a tutorial on how to build a cheap home server with some old $15 Xeons or a cheap laptop with an old $50 x220 but my smile instantly vanishes when I look at the local second hand market and realize those Xeons are $60 and the x220 is $200 here.

Americans don't know how good they have it, high incomes, low taxes and cheap prices makes accumulating wealth and starting a business much easier than in Europe.

> but if you asked me to explain what I'm doing I wouldn't be able to tell you, at least not using mathematical constructs/words

That can come later, the more important point is to explain "why" you are doing a specific step and not "what" and you are free to use just English words.

For example, say you want to find the maximum of f(x)= -x^2 + 4 x + 10. A bad explanation would be some mumbling about taking down the 2, ... , f'(x) =-2x +4, so x=2, f''(x)=-2, is negative, done.

Better: We know that at a maximum the slope of f has to be zero (otherwise we could go left or right to get larger), so let's find such points first. We thus compute the derivative function as f'(x)=-2x+4 and find that it is zero if x=2. But that does not give an answer yet, because it could still be a min/max or saddle point. .. draw a small picture of each. We thus compute the second derivative to see in which of these three cases we might be. f'(x)=-2 is negative so we locally look like a parabola opened downward, so this is indeed a maximum.

Assuming the rationale behind this is privacy, you could always choose questions that don't divuldge sensitive information while still allowing the user to identify themselves e.g. a user might not want to share their street name but presumably would not care about sharing the name of their first stuffed toy.

I was inclined to write something similar myself as I agree in general. Mathematics is much more about the thinking than the doing, programming is more about the doing.

However, I do think that programming can be an excellent complement and aid when understanding certain concepts. Sometimes, writing a numerical simulation of a hard to grasp concept can make things fall into place. In particular in probability theory it can be quite helpful to generate a lot of random samples to validate and clarify some counterintuitive concepts.
