Dan's disease progression was remarkably quick too. He wrote a blog post about his Stage IV diagnosis in early August:

https://www.dankohn.com/health/2020/8/29/diagnosis

And if you quick the 'Previous' link on the bottom you can see how it went from stents to ablation to an emergent hospital admission in the course of two months. Just so tragic for his wife and young sons.
China has an extensive diaspora of people who stay in regular touch with relatives back home. You'd know this, if you actually spoke to any Chinese immigrants.

This diaspora knew about how serious COVID was back in January.

If they had millions of people secretly falling sick today, this diaspora would have heard about it. It hasn't, and they don't.

For all intents and purposes, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and yes, China have brought the virus under control, while we are faffing about with millions sick.
Am I the only one who doesn't respect BusinessInsider? Their reporting is...alright but every single article has a clickbait headline and they never dive into details like other publications do.
You've reminded me of my anger about telcos promising to Congress to connect the USA shore-to-shore to the internet and then they just gave up and said "phones will be good enough." No, no they aren't.

"Using the Bells own words and filings, by 2000,
approximately 50 million homes should have been rewired with a fiber optic wiring to the home,
capable of 45 Mbps in two directions, which could handle over 500 channels of video and was
totally open to competition. About 86 million households should be wired by 2006."

Still waiting on that fiber optic connection to my home in 2020...sure would be useful to all the kids that are trying to learn remotely via a damn phone right now.
I have irrationally strong feelings about production car speed records.

Firstly,

>Bugatti's claimed 300-mph-breaking Chiron run was never going to count

As much as they would like to believe otherwise, Guiness World Records can not create truth. If the Chiron goes faster than the SSC, it's the fastest production car. That's it. Two way runs & proper filming are an important factor if you're trying to decide who gets the piece of paper but there's nothing 'official' about it. If someone goes faster but never tells anyone, they still went faster.

That is apart from one point: the Chiron isn't a production car. But neither is the SSC. Nor the Veyron nor the Agera RS. If you don't believe me, try to buy one. No matter how much money you have, or at what time you try to do it, you can't. All of these cars have extremely limited units sold only to people with an existing relationship with the company. All of them set records with special editions. That's just a modified car. If there are only 25 Agera RSes & every one is modified for the owner, how do you establish the one that did the record isn't just the equivalent of a binned, liquid oxygen-cooled CPU that dies after the record setting run? You can't even drive the Veyron away from a record setting attempt: you need to replace its $40000 tyres.

Bugatti's record was once in doubt because they deactivated the speed limiter for the run. This was later retracted because it's not actually about trying to set consistent rules, it's about creating marketing material for Volkswagen's halo car. Which is why they won't let anybody else run their faster cars on their track.

Other, assorted viewpoints:

- If your car is just a modified Lotus, it doesn't count.

- For bidirectional attempts, how can you say that a car has a top speed of C mph when C = A+B/2 mph and A>B? That's an invented figure.
The fun thing about this is that just from the headline I knew who would have the highest rated and extremely complete answer.
It used to happen in the U.S. quite frequently in the days of Kazaa/Limewire. If you got caught pirating a movie, your ISP would cut you off after 1-3 strikes.

It doesn't happen as much anymore because it's now easier to get a high-quality version of the movie through legitimate means than through illegitimate ones.
Because it gives the false appearance of security. With this scheme, you always need to act as if the e-mail addresses are plaintext anyway. It should not be used.
I feel like they're both at the level where it's a minor tradeoff between fog and summer heat, and for me fog is the clear choice.
I think it is reasonable to have the position that Google is big and powerful enough that it cannot and will not be regulated by, say, the US government. Or rather, that it has enough permanent influence such that any regulations will be watered down to be de-facto meaningless, or in most cases, strategically beneficial to Google themselves (substitute chosen megacorp here).
FWIW, this is often how I interact with open-source projects. Fork my own copy on Github, clone that locally, and spin up a branch for changes/PR. But then also `git remote add upstream <them>` so that I can keep my own code up to date more easily (`git merge upstream master` from master, and then trickle that into my PRs).
The best feedback on business viability is to charge money from the beginning. Until people pay for the product, everything they say is just noise as it relates to the viability of the product.

The hard part of asking for money is that most people will say "no." The easy part of "freemimum" is that you can pretend people will buy it later and rationalize continuing to work on the project.

Or to put it another way, the simplest thing that might work from a business perspective is charging money. And right now, you are thrashing around blindly with freemium which is harder to get to right, less informative, and produces less revenue.

If you don't know what people might pay for, then you don't know what problem you are solving. If you know what problem you are solving then you know what people might pay for and charging money gets you direct conversion of the might to a will or won't.

> what sort of proof could correspond to a non-standard number? It seems like it would have to be rather strange

Yes.

> if non-standard numbers aren't infinite, how can the proof be infinite?

I am not an expert on this, but as I understand it, it has to do with how Godel numbering would have to work if non-standard numbers can be Godel numbers. Basically, only a standard natural number can be the Godel number of a finite proof; any proof that has a non-standard number as its Godel number must be infinite (i.e., it must have an infinite number of steps). But unfortunately I cannot explain why that is true. Maybe another poster here can, or can correct me if my understanding is wrong.

I can't read the article, but this appears to be hitting us hard here in Bend, Oregon. House prices were already high and only appear to be going higher. I think more people could be a great thing if we get them involved locally, and if we add enough housing to accommodate them, which is tricky right now. As someone involved with a local YIMBY group, it's tough to see the prices - it felt like we were making some progress in several fronts and then BOOM.
for sure, the friction of managing physical servers is much higher. it would be worthwhile if a company commits to managing those physical assets well, which very few would commit to doing
Amazon Advertising | Front End Engineer | New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE (remote for now)

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/1041099/front-end-engineer (for better results, don't apply online - message me first and I'll make a referral)

My team owns the campaign building experience for Self-Service Performance Advertising. We meet the demand of worldwide advertisers to reach customers in all aspects of the advertising funnel, both on and off of Amazon.

I'm looking for a front-end engineer who is passionate about quality, maintainability, performance, security and all the other things that make great software great. They will own the design and implementation of major deliverables end-to-end. This position requires collaboration with fellow engineers, designers, product managers, and engineering leaders. This role necessitates a comfort-level with ambiguity and a desire to create, iterate and improve.

2+ years professional experience in large-scale front-end software development required. This is virtual for now, but will eventually snap to Amazon's on-site policy. Team is centered in New York City.

GitHub: Widespread Injection Vulnerabilities in Actions
In my mind, one of the big (but seldomly discussed) pros for using AWS and especially their high-level services (especially WRT containers) is that they allow rank-and-file developers to do a lot more of the work that was traditionally considered 'ops'. This is advantageous because developer teams don't need to coordinate with a single ops team when they need something, which allows the whole organization to be more agile. Another advantage is that you don't have to hire and develop a high functioning ops competency in your business--you can outsource much of that to AWS and focus your time/resources on more valuable opportunities (in general, I wish the on-prem side of the debate would acknowledge opportunity costs in their talking points).
Clearly the buyer (employer) thinks the seller (employee) will have no choice but to accept lower pay due to the seller having a lack of buyers willing to pay more.

If the buyer's prediction is true, then the seller will accept (maybe not in individual cases, but averaged over entire workforce). If the buyer's prediction is false, then sellers will opt to sell to other buyers offering more.
You still can use that for free if you disable osx and not use too many parallel build jobs. I just removed all of the osx jobs from all my repos. Even a PR can trigger that new pricing model.
I think usb-c/usb 3 solved most of the problems.

I used to have the low-power indicator show up all the time in the past, but it seems the usb-c power supply has resolved that.

Additionally usb boot + usb3 speed has made running completely off of usb instead of sd a good solution. There are also pretty fast yet small form factor drives like the samsung fit to choose from as far as physical size.
Maybe it is a bad faith assumption on my part and I don't disagree with you that silence on the end of Google isn't right and I am in no way a large tech company booster.

That said, my point is that there is likely something specific to the OP blog that is the reason for Google turning off the ad dollars rather than the counter argument: some arbitrary nefarious business decision by a large corporation to the shut down the owner's blog revenue source to the point that OP is concerned that they will be removed from the platform as a result.

I get the sense that the content is missing part to the story.

Regardless of the understanding when ticking the box, the courts (in the US) have upheld shrink wrap contracts and rejected the “I didn’t actually read the TOS, so I can’t be bound by them” argument.[a] Basically, you’re SOL.

[a]: The reason being: you checked a box acknowledging that you read them so you can’t claim you didn’t because then someone could read them, then claim they didn’t. It’s a terrible abuse of contract law, but it is unfortunately the world we live in if the legislature won’t fix it.
Unless you don't like summer heat and heat waves. SF is more consistently around 70F. Depends if you like 55F - 75F versus 70F - 90F
I have one question. Could this be done with CRIU better? I mean transferring the socket from one process to another or from one netns to another? libsoccr is just a kind of socket serialisation library, right ? :-)
I suppose you could say that it's not useless, but it's use is subsidiary to the primary purpose of thinking, because it is thinking that actually solves problems.

This isn't necessarily true however, on a group selective level, remembering allows you to more effectively pass information to future generations, allowing your community to continue to adapt socially to your environment.

Sheep do this, with young sheep being explicitly taught how to handle a landscape by their parents, which is normally understood as showing them how to walk etc. but extends all the way to navigation and safe routes at least.

In our context that connection is far more obvious, even if that purpose has been in many ways assumed by tools; even if your brain remembers things solely for the purpose of thinking, it may not be for your thinking, and so we can say that memory, on an individual level, has a separate function.
Even though it's not included (and supplies are incredibly constrained right now for new ones) a standard USB webcam can work. Logically it doesn't really make sense to include a built-in webcam for a keyboard form factor. Adding an external one doesn't make sense in terms of meeting their pricing goals.

Doubtless one of the resellers will augment this with a package that includes an inexpensive USB webcam.
That does seem surprising given the massive drop in rental prices there since May. Perhaps the low interest rates are keeping the prices up?

Does anyone have any good recommendations for resources / projects for a computer-interested 12 year old? I was thinking of buying a Pi4 for my niece who is “getting into computers” but I fear my tastes in what constitutes interesting or age-relevant content might be out of touch.

I also, look at the various books that they sell on the Raspberry Pi site, and worry that they’ll be out of date pretty quickly.

If anyone has recommendations for educational materials or projects that I could help my niece with, I’m sure others on this thread are looking for similar ideas. This new all-in-one device really feels like a well timed gift with lockdown and holidays.
This reminds me of an app I wrote a few years ago when learning R: https://mzgw.shinyapps.io/book-recommendation/

My friend needed a way to determine the Flesch-Kincaid readability score for a selected paragraph, and was using Microsoft Word for that. I wrote a script to automatically parse the scores for all txt files provided, then started to wonder how different books fared in that aspect, how readability scores map to language proficiency levels, and what can be told about the book in general using simple analysis tools. It was a fun project but the readability scores were far from expected — eg I hate Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and always find it frustrating to read but the readability score is actually not that low.
Because in a world where many jobs are not remote, especially over the longer-term, on average local job options will tend to influence the salaries of people working remotely from that location.
This is exactly correct. If you pay for a product you are not entitled to force a price reduction if the efficiencies of the producer improve. In most cases purchasers are not even entitled to know about production costs. It's just that with in person labor purchasers have gotten used to having access to this privileged information and abuse it.

No, the real economic force at work for here is the halo effect. If you're in SV you must be good! You went to Stanford and worked at Google? You must be good! Then competition for that group takes over driving up prices. Housing costs are just an excuse people give themselves / investors.
Of course, but I didn't think it was necessary to state "all else being equal". In a conversation about why the same employer pays less to people if they move, it's strictly because they can and the employee doesn't have a choice to defect. Whereas in SF, the employee can walk around the corner and start working for someone else. Which is an illustration of the intersection of supply and demand.
When you die of cancer after you've cast your vote
People have been talking about this on HN for a few months now, and I never took it seriously since these threads are always filled with people quoting numbers saying it's not happening.

That was until last month, when two tech workers from San Francisco moved into the neighborhood.

Both have the same story: Their company went work-from-home when the pandemic started, then made it permanent, so the company employees are fanning out all over the country to make better lives for themselves.

Now I look at all of the new California license plates I see around town and wonder.

I never thought of my little corner of nowhere as a better place to live. I only moved here because it's cheap and as far away from as many other human beings as I can get while still being near an international airport. But maybe it will work out for them.

Good luck to the new generation of digital nomads.

Nah. We live on the outskirts of Munich and it still works fine. Suburbs of Munich you can still get by without a car easily enough.

Hell, even little Bavarian towns that I've visited, you don't really need a car, the way you do in the states. Somewhere like Lenggries or Bad Toelz, you can absolutely get around walking and biking, it's safe and pleasant and convenient in-town, even though these are nowhere close to big cities (IIRC Lenggries is like 10k people). Now, visiting any other city using buses/trains out there far, that's a pain, so you probably want a car, but you don't absolutely need one for daily life.

Compare that to living in the south SF bay area, which has a sizable population, but getting by without a car is nevertheless a nightmare. Biking is dangerous -- the year before I moved, I got hit twice by cars, including once with my son on it -- there's almost nothing within walking distance (and it's highly unpleasant to boot) and public transit is sparse and slow.

Anyway, I can't speak for Poland, but just about everywhere I've visited in Europe, compared to the US the necessity for a car is very drastically reduced. Even the places where you want a car for some trips, you often don't really need them for daily basic errands.

Same from my experience, except staring at the ceiling had effect -- it made harder for me to fall asleep and instead of getting to bed at 3-4am and falling asleep almost instantly, I got to bed at 1-2am and fallen asleep after 5-7am.

From the sounds of this there's two possible outcomes (assuming good faith): They run again and set somewhere >300mph. If they do that then it's reasonable to say that the original run was legitimate. More likely they run again and they look very silly because all their calibration was screwed and their speeds are a long way off.

There's always the third possibility - shenanigans. In which case they'll either pull more shenanigans or they'll just try and slink away.

In the meantime it sounds like the record can be safely ignored.
