Here's my understanding (also a layman but trying to read as much as possible):

A new coronavirus jumps from an animal to humans. No human body has seen this type of virus before, so when it infects the immune system has to work a lot to learn how to fight it. This causes symptoms like a fever which is a sign of the ongoing struggle. For frail people it means the immune system is not strong enough to counteract the infection and it spreads and potentially kills them.

However, if the immune system learns quickly enough how to fight it, antibodies are killing the virus faster than it can multiply and you get better. The antibodies then disappear in a few months but the long term memory cells remain.

Later, the virus infects you again. You develop the symptoms of a light respiratory infection but the immune system quickly references the memory cells and is able to produce suitable antibodies really fast. The fight is short and easy, the antibodies defeat the virus before it has time to spread. There is no sign of the struggle like first time (no fever) but only the light symptoms we don't even think of (common cold).

Now, how about children? Well as we see already they're unlikely to be seriously affected (low mortality). And children get lots of fevers (parents can confirm). So probably sometimes in the early years we get infected by some coronaviruses our bodies have never seen, the immune system puts up an intense fight and builds the long-term immunity that will be with us as adults.

> "everywhere" is restricted to places that have an HDMI display just hanging out. Which is then a vanishingly small number of places.

Wait what? Doesn't virtually every TV sold in the last 10 years have an HDMI port?
> in V8 there is a cylinder firing at every 90° rotation which means 2 cylinder fire in one crankshaft rotation.

Your method and math checks out even without the tachometer observations - in a split-plane v8 (such as that in the scc tuatara) you have two cylinder fires per rotation of the engine. You have measured 251 cylinder fires per second (251hz) thus 125.5 rotations per second OR 7530/minute (RPM).

Hard to refute that.
For ii, I find it helps to add 10:9 to the list I gave earlier, I just omitted it to stay within the familiar framework of 12 notes-to-the-octave. 12 really isn't enough, though, in a lot of cases.

Here's a visualization I like, that uses 22 notes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA1C9VFqJKo

Speaking of large-number EDOs, some people I know locally are doing guitar conversions to 41-EDO. The trick that seems like it absolutely shouldn't work but it does is to omit half the frets, so that only half of the notes are available on each string.

The article then also highlights the difference in overtime pay of 2-3x (for the rate) in the US and 'as time' compensation in Europe.

I appreciate 2-3x overtime as a means of encouraging fully filling out the workforce at single rate. Overtime should be for true need, not a factored in norm.

That was pretty much my point.

Food for thought in this discussion: there are chemical battlefields from WWI that were thought to be largely inhabitable by any lifeform that have slowly but surely been retaken by nature. The trenches and craters created by mortars and landmines still pocket the earth, but trees and grass and wildlife have largely taken it back over. WWI was about 100 years ago, so it gives us a lot of hope to what can happen if you just give nature a chance.

The fact is that cost of compute is only a serious fraction of revenue for a small percent of companies. Those should worry about compute — the rest should focus their attention elsewhere.
> It takes technical knowledge to overcome that measure. (Go ahead, ask any non-techie you know to download a copy of a video from Youtube without using a tool like youtube-dl. They'll fail.)

Go to the Taylor Swift music video, open devtools, go to the Network tab and you can download everything from there. The only caveat is that you have to manually merge audio and video files, and youtube-dl does this for you. Other than that, youtube-dl does basically the same thing.
Textbook shortsightedness. IIRC before the change to collaborator-based billing, the GitHub model was that the private repos would be frozen if one stopped subscribing. Yet still remain private. That's a much better customer experience with the same incentives.
> I wonder if it's possible to avoid that, once it gets going. Twitter already seems like it's in the "garbage site" category, and they won't be able to fix that without throwing away the network effect that they depend on.

I think the real danger to Twitter is driving out the 'good' users because they don't want to be affiliated with the brand. The pandemic had the potential to end Twitter. To their credit, they realized it and did something about it.

A secondary concern is that the good users will start to retweet stuff that's borderline because they like what it says. I think we're already seeing that. There seems to be developing an attitude of "Well, it's not exactly correct, but it's probably sort of correct, so...[retweet/reply tweet]."

Have you been at the current Penn Station, in NYC? That's how a 'build for now' station looks like. It is a total shitshow during rush hour, and especially during holidays.

Everyone in NYC hates it and we are currently building an extension at the old post office, as it is not fit for usage anymore.

The old one (the one that got demolished in the 60s) was miles ahead in both space and aesthetics. Also, almost nobody hates the Grand Central Station, even though it gets overran with tourists as it is a beautiful peace of work.

>Not sure there’s any deepfakery on the Michael Caine audio

Most likely not, and the parent comment seems to agree with you on that. I think they were just trying to point out, in general, that the arrival of commonplace audio deepfakes might be way more disruptive than video deepfakes, despite a lot of people (including myself) who used to counter-intuitively think that video deepfakes would be more disruptive.
The Time article you cite is simplistic in regards of Taiwan's Covid response. Let me cite what I wrote 5 months ago in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23290800 about Taiwan:

-----------

The country has 23M inhabitants, most of them are clustered in a few densely populated metro areas (Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung–Changhua, Taoyuan–Zhongli, Tainan and Hsinchu). Taiwan had many daily flights to/from China, including daily directs from Wuhan (stopped 31 December 2019). Taiwan is one of the world's older countries (median age ~43). Taiwan permitted the docking of the Diamond Princess [2] and allowed passengers to disembark in Keelung (near Taipei), on 31 January, before the ship left for Japan. The ship was subsequently found to have numerous confirmed infections onboard. In reaction, Taiwan's government published the 50 locations where the cruise ship travelers may have visited and asked around 600k citizens who may have been in contact with the tour group to conduct symptom monitoring and self-quarantine if necessary. None were confirmed to have COVID-19 after 14 days had passed. (The only advantage Taiwan had was that facemasks were widely used and even expected on public transport for years.) For all those reasons, Taiwan was at unusually high risk from Covid.

Yet, no lockdown.

No country managed the disease better than Taiwan. We should learn from Taiwan. See [1] for an analysis of Taiwan's response from early March 2020.

It is interesting to reflect upon why most countries ignored Taiwan. The World Health Organization's locking out Taiwan on China's request is probably one reason. Is it the only one?

Project-based billing, with invoices sent through Quickbooks.

Invoicing feels like such an inconsequential part of consulting. As long as you send it on time and follow up accordingly (or automatically), it makes no significant difference where it comes from.
It is clear you understand there exists a bind you can exploit for your own gains. This is no different than some license troll working the angle there's no way to contact all contributors to an "open source" project AND have a legally valid argument to remove said viral license, which itself was written by a sociopath.
Not fitting very well with their old don't be evil motto. They could always have a paid service (maybe $20?) to have someone look up the problem and tell you what it was perhaps?
I wish there was a usable Docker Engine API implementation that could run containers in jails using zfs for image layering. There is a Docker for FreeBSD port, but last time I checked, it was super old. Having Docker as a first class citizen on FreeBSD would make it really incredibly as a server OS.
For a good few years, a lot of airlines had Netflix and Hulu throttled on their free WiFi services, but not Twitch, so I’d just watch videogames on all my flights. My theory (which I really believe is true) is that they just hadn’t heard of it, and hadn’t blacklisted it!
I can think of one reason why OVH is that much cheaper. OVH doesn't bother policing their network. At all. You don't even need to take my word for it, Cisco Umbrella has written numerous papers on the subject.

They're one of three hosting companies I instantly blacklist across the board when I take custodianship of a network. We don't want their customers business.
Ask HN: Is there any iPhone SE first gen -sized phone?
Dear HN,

I wonder if I'm the only one wanting this, or if I'm just bad at searching, but I cannot seem to find any halfway decent phone that is roughly the size of the 1st gen iPhone SE.

The old iPhone SE was 124mm tall and had 2GB RAM + 64GB ROM in the most popular model.

Putting that into GSMArena tells me that there hasn't been any suitable phone released since 2016.

Why is there such a big hole in the market here?
Seems more than merely jerkish to me.

I mean, say you were in the situation with a plumber who did offer a free service of taking away people's toilets (which seems plausible -- some people might appreciate getting rid of their old toilet for free, while a plumber might offer the service in order to resell the old toilets). And then you paid for a plumber to replace yours, and they insisted that while you cancel the replacement, they were still going to take away your old one. Would you accept this, holding that it's a legal (if jerkish) way to have the toilet replacement canceled?
I bill by the hour and agree with a client up front about an invoicing schedule: usually the 1st of each month, and sometimes on the 1st and 15th of each month.

I ripped off an invoice template for Excel and I just use Google Sheets. I send the invoice via email. This has worked for me for 10 years. As a single-person corp I don't need anything more complex.

I also view invoicing as a completely separate activity from time tracking. I log time every week either in my client's system or in my own independent time sheets. I reference those numbers when I create the invoice.
I write a lot of articles for a handful of sites, so in instances where I need to specifically invoice a project, I use Invoice Generator: https://invoice-generator.com/

Suuuuuuper simple, and it keeps track of the invoice number each time I download a new one. I just put in the right details, download it, and send it in.

To keep track of projects, I use Trello: I've got a bunch of columns that I have for "Approved" "In Progress" "Completed" "Invoiced" "Paid", which helps me remember where, what, when, and how much I need to send in. It's a little clunky, but I've got a good workflow with it.

I'm primarily a full stack developer, with a few years of experience designing and developing APIs that get consumed by single-page applications. I'm happy doing this, but I would also be happy moving towards a more backend-focused role.

My primary areas of interest are the financial, geospatial, and logistics industries.

You can further restrict it using the fact that you can easily verify the PID/UID/GID on the other end of the UNIX socket. (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/unix.7.html see SO_PEERCRED) You can also manually send your PID/UID/GID (which allows you to specify any of your real-, effective-, or saved set- *ID; or if you're root anything).
This is the company equivalent of a remake of an 80s movie repeating the one iconic quote 3 times in the trailer.
In the 1990's a thought of it as "the internet pick-apart." It's fabulously useful as a trolling technique. Attacking on a broad front finds the points of weakness either intellectually or more typically through shear attrition of typing speed. As the thread progresses, it works hand in hand with quoting from earlier comments as a means of moving further inside the interlocutor's decision loop.

And as always it requires uncharitable interpretation and the fabrication of strawmen from whole cloth steeped in a claim of populist outrage...fortunately, I feel I have moved on since the early aughts.
The Canadian constitution is not designed to grossly overweight the views of rural areas over those of populated areas. Canada doesn't have an institution like the US senate, where voters from the least populous state have over 80 times more power than those from the most populous state.

The spread in riding (electoral district) size in Canada only varies by a factor of 4.5 if the (mostly unpopulated) northern territories are included (the three territories have one MP, each, to represent populations of less than 30,000) and a factor of 1.5 among the populated provinces.

Canadian federal governments are generally comprised of whichever party received the largest share of votes nationally. This is not always the case in the US.
For my own clients I use a spreadsheet in Google Sheets to track my work, either time or tasks and deliverables. I generate invoices from that, as PDF files, then send those by email to whomever approves and pays. I can give clients access to the spreadsheets if they want that.

I work through an agency that has its own work tracking also in a spreadsheet. They handle invoicing and collecting payment for their customers I work with.
That 40 pin connector is a big STEM deal.

You have to include transfer density to account for platform load factors, and Times Square's situation of having 5 of the 7 Midtown Manhattan lines transferring there, all of them having both express and local platforms, on top of the massive local draws for boarding, and the location of the Port Authority's bus terminal virtually guarantees that it's going to the busiest station complex in perpetuity.

By contrast, the Hudson Yards station is a terminus station of a single line. That means traffic is largely going to be directly from the single platform entrance (there's only one bank of escalators to the surface) to the waiting train, or vice versa. Even if it's potentially going to be busy, there is very little need for platform loitering, and certainly not for the massive overbuild of platform and mezzanine that exists today.
> Station overcrowding can be fixed

Yeah, usually by totally rebuilding the station. Easier said than done when you already have a skyscraper built over top of you. NYC is trying to revamp a lot of its current stations that see magnitudes of traffic more than they were designed to on a daily basis, and that's a massive undertaking.
How’d you arrive at this? Just curious.
The structure of a STEM journal paper is very roughly as follows: () = optional

- Abstract

- intro

- (lit review)

- methods

- results

- (discussion)

- conclusion

- references

- (appendices)

I would say this ordering doesn't quite map to the pyramid principle and nor should it. Academic writing prioritizes explanation whereas business writing prioritizes decision-making. They serve different purposes. If we were to hypothetically rewrite an academic paper using the pyramid principle, it might look like this:

- Combined abstract + conclusion (1-3 points)

- Results (1-3 points)

- Discussion (1-3 points)

- Everything else goes into the appendix.
This index does not take into account the way some constitutions give certain groups greater say in policymaking, adjucation, or execution.
