Those killed in the story didn’t go to the party.
As well as those who died, some number will have long term disability and illness. Many of them won’t have been guests at the wedding.
Yes, but it's a failure of imagination to assume that a strict lockdown is the only measure that would be part of aggressively addressing the problem.
I don't think that's a great example but I know exactly what you mean. It can be enviable stuff. Perhaps a better example - from my POV at least - is the description of a catenary by Robert Hooke "As hangs the flexible chain so but inverted will stand the rigid arch" There's elegance!

Perhaps the dross is forgotten, as much sand is unheeded between the rare glimmer of jewels on a beach.

- ahem. Sorry.
You're dodging the question though. Why are right-wingers showing up to a left-wing protest movement in the first place, if they aren't counterprotesting? Wandering around with rifles is not a protest.
I waited too long to post my rant and the comment got killed, so you've become my rant-patsy, and I'm pasting it below. Also, yeah, things like choosing to eat, just choose not to go get food and you're good, right?

Jeez, what a short-sighted, selfish, impatient, and entitled point of view. I'm guessing you haven't spent much time living anywhere that's actually dangerous?

A large percentage of people in the world have live their lives cautiously, because where they live is really dangerous. There are places that have to deal with ebola still, there are places where not being deferential to the right person means that you and your family are hunted and killed. Most of these places are what we call third-world countries, and being in danger, having your family in danger, is a staple of living in them. If they've been dangerous for a long time, then ALL of the people living there live cautiously, defensively, because everyone who wasn't genetically predisposed to this behavior was killed by their environment long ago.

In most first world countries, and the USA in particular, a vast majority of the population has no clue what it's like to live under these types of conditions, where you actually have to try to take steps to protect yourself. Until this year, the most danger the average American was in was during our morning commutes, where being actively defensive means "Try not to look at your phone too much while driving". Now we're just experiencing a taste of how it is to live in many of the third world countries.

What is absolutely insane though, is not that we are too stupid to figure out how to live cautiously and defensively (we're not used to having this burden, so it's somewhat understandable that we don't know how to handle it), it's that even when we're told common sense procedures to act defensively, we actively fight against them. Taking precautions that are stupid simple, that are common sense, that are EASY, and that will preserve our lives, the lives of our family and friends, and the lives in our communities, we reject those because we can't get past the delusional narcissism that we should never have to sacrifice anything.

And that's why we've had 240 thousand deaths due to covid since March. Cause we, as a nation, responded as entitled yuppy assholes, instead of taking some basic, easy, mature steps to protect ourselves.
This is a common and dangerous misconception. Wearing a seatbelt causes you to be a projectile that bounces around the car, into other people. YouTube "not wearing a seatbelt" and you'll never not wear one again when others are in the car.
The question is, does the decrease in marketing spend increase or decrease the los.
> It turns out that in the current version of the macOS, the OS sends to Apple a hash (unique identifier) of each and every program you run, when you run it.

Hang on, this only happens on first run of the binary, right? It caches the hash afterwards? This statement is incorrect unless Apple are sending logs to the server (i.e. of every cache hit). Can somebody confirm?
> "you reach a point where there is far more significant code than can be rationalized. The best you can do is understand the overall layering, and know how to search for the oddball tool that may come in handy"

Honestly, as someone trying to get into developing web apps, I believe we are already at this point. Because of writings like Paul Graham's (eg, http://paulgraham.com/icad.html), I figured I'd go with Common Lisp, and as an added bonus there'd be less of a paradox of choice for libraries. Not so. Already I'm looking at a half dozen different approaches for persistent storage. I used to love Perl's concept of TIMTOWTDI, but more and more I find myself drowning in a sea of options that all seem pointless.
No, what I'm talking about is the one that took place on CH, during the East Precinct protests, not the freeway. You obviously don't live in Seattle.

The driver 'accidentally' turned, with speed, off an arterial, into the protest street, and despite having clear visibility of hundreds of people in his line of travel, kept driving, with people scattering out of his way.

He stopped when he hit a blockade, shot at one person who tried to open his car door, waved his gun around (With extra magazines jungle-taped together), and ran through the crowd directly into the police line. So much for being lost and confused, he seemed to know exactly where he was.

He was either planning a mass shooting, and lost his nerve at the last second, or was trying his damned hardest to provoke an attack on himself, presumably so he could respond with violence.

For an exercise - you try driving your car into a line of right wing militants protesting (or into a police line), and then shoot one of them. I doubt you will succeed in running to a line of safety, and I doubt their press will describe you as lost and confused.
That is wonderfully brutal. Beautiful.
The feel of the keyboard is far, far more important to me than the look. Lenovo Thinkpads (business class, not the consumer ones chasing after the foolish "thin" trend) are the only ones that have are the only ones that have a reasonable shape and response. This includes Apple, which tends to be one of the worst offenders in the feel of a keyboard. I want to have some amount of vertical movement to the keys, not to jam my fingers into a hard surface repeatedly.
This is why any smart Saas company is charging, at minimum, thousands of dollars per month for medium-large sized customers.

They know the purchasing process will be the same headache regardless of whether the product costs $100/month or $10,000/month.

If the company is large and the tool enables collaboration and time-saving, $10,000 is literally a rounding error for a company with 500+ employees in comparison to the potential value delivered.

When I see B2B Saas companies with pricing plans that top out at $50/month, I want to pull my hair out. They are leaving so much money at the table and simultaneously starving themselves of the revenue needed to grow and build a long-term business.
Strawman, I never mentioned homicide by gun.
This is crap. There are people, myself included, which are simply predisposed to insulin resistance. For reference, I'm 145lbs @ 5'10", exercise daily, and eat relatively well. My last A1C was 5.6. To some extent, yes, diet will help; however, insulin resistance is a complex metabolic process that is absolutely rooted in your genetics, so simply telling people to eat less and/or lose weight is facile at best.
My computer science cohort was very small. That’s why I don’t expect to see many Lamar folks on these types of forums.
N, NP doesnt matter. Most likely O(n^100) is too large for any sizeable n.
On the topic of modules, I recommend reading about modules in Newspeak: https://bracha.org/newspeak-modules.pdf

Modules (which are just top level classes and contain nested classes) have no import statement and no hard linked external dependencies. When you instantiate the module (~class) you pass in dependencies it needs.
What, you think Obama and the Clintons would have minded terribly if it turned out that way?

Anyway, we're not shifting the goalposts to the leaders, we're talking about the people, which is the subject of the article. The people of the left were completely down with the faithless electorate concept, whoopie!

And somehow you missed this point. Which leads me to a question: why? Perhaps you didn't hear about it. Perhaps you forgot it. Maybe you brushed it aside. Or maybe you recalled it and decided it wasn't worth mentioning. Each of these are mechanisms through which people are steered.

You accuse the far right of doing something that the far left was doing just four years ago, and still you have thought yourself objective, but it doesn't work.
This is retaliation; they are trying to scare people into not exercising their legal rights. If trip advisor wanted to be responsible they warn foreigners - who might not know about the local laws - about all Thai establishments, rather than point fingers.
Wear a mask, don’t go to restaurants, don’t go to your family gathering, don’t go on vacation, don’t go on work trips, don’t go to the office....
I don't fully blame OP, the HN title is simply wrong.

The paper does not say that weight loss lowers the risk of diabetes. Which would imply a causal relationship. The paper says that "lifestyle intervention" lowers the risk of diabetes. This intervention could also explain the weight loss, hence a corollary relationship.

That said, there is such a thing as bad science and there is literally decades of it when it comes to nutrition and chronic diseases. And more keeps coming out all the time. I don't blame the OP for being skeptical, but he/she was skeptical of the wrong thing in this case.
I honestly don't mind the slightly longer startup times for apps since I keep most of them open until I restart my computer.

I would like to know, however, if this tradeoff has been worth it. Does anyone have any statistics on whether this has helped reduce the amount of malware ran by users?
I seriously recommend the switch. I went for an Intel ax200, costs about 50$, and my download speed went up 8 fold.
I want to know if I'm reading this wrong because our conclusions were different. It feels like they tested whether additional mentorship worked, it didn't, but their conclusion was that the "interventions" worked on both groups.

From the "Findings" [1]

>> In this randomized clinical trial of 1028 participants with high-risk intermediate glycemic categories, the intervention significantly reduced the 2-year risk of type 2 diabetes by 40% to 47%, although lay volunteer support did not reduce the risk further. For every 11 participants treated, 1 diabetes diagnosis was prevented.

I took it to mean that the support added no additional benefit: both groups benefited from the treatment and the group treated with and volunteers did not outperform the control.

Seems like a problem with VSCode not MacOS.
You mostly have to control what you eat. One donut takes like 3 hours to burn off at a good clip on a treadmill.

I think that thinking you can make up for eating habits with exercise at all will just get you into trouble. You should exercise for health, but unless you’re a professional athlete, your voluntary physical activity is a rounding error in terms of weight management
A popular Bay Area restaurant, with one location in both SF and Oakland, recently spun up a new "restaurant" that exists solely in Doordash. The first order I put in with them came back warmer and with better packaging.

I was left wondering who actually prepared the food. The branding on the bag was like 50/50 Doordash and the restaurant (Burma Superstar).
If this isn't an ironic commentary on current events...
This is the correct policy. I upgraded my mac because I couldn't install a certain application on the version I was running and now it runs crazy hot and the fans run on full blast whenever I watch a video on the internet.
Good information - thanks for the reply.
(2) is a direct consequence of (1). Remember, until this year public health experts were always pointing out how shaming people in a public health context is highly counterproductive. People won't engage with the health system if they fear being punished for doing so. And with communicable disease that means there will be more spread.
Seldon was a magic prophet dressed up in scientist garb, rolling the chicken bones/making a Theory that his secret society of scientist/magicians carried out to save the roman empire/universe.

Foundation was popular not because it was actual science fiction, but because like much of sf, it flatters and states the prejudices the engineer class has-that politics leads to barbarism, that the mass of people need guidance from a rational class, and that science is magic and can solve and predict any problem.

Guys like this are doing the same, they are popular not because of SCIENCE but because they state the prejudices of the rational class. If he has a model, ask him how it applies to the town of Willimantic, CT, which is by Uconn, and watch him have zero to actually say about it
The Trump Campaign's Unorthodox Email Tactics – Do They Work?
Maybe it's all the fish. I guess I'm off to take my vitamin D, thanks for the reminder.
The same link has been posted several times in this thread by several accounts, all in a similar manner. Several days ago there was another COVID19 posting with "FREE MICHIGAN" and similar bizarre, anti-intellectual ramblings. Unfortunately HackerNews/YCombinator is the one controlling the identities on this website, so without access to more information I'm unable to discern much about the authorship of these comments.
I think we're talking across each other here. I'm not attempting to draw a strict equivalence; I'm not saying this year is as bad as that year, this side is as bad as that side, this argument is as bad as that argument. I'm just saying that the original claim - that only one part of the political spectrum attempts to dispute clear election results - is flawed.
I would love to agree fully with you but even in China they had to weld people into their apartments because they would go out.

But you’re right that culture can bring out the worst out of people and that we are getting the bill now.
Fair enough. But this "I don't have to worry because I'm young and healthy!" besides being incredibly selfish (implied "who cares if I kill people around me by spreading the virus") it's also bullshit: it is not true that you don't have to worry, that there's no risk of mortality or morbidity.

I am happy to grant that the risk is much smaller, but just like the "kids can't get or spread covid" MYTH that people have been grasping to for dear life in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, this "only old people die of it" myth needs to be squashed.

100% of my coworkers deploy to x86-64. I wasn't trying to speak for everyone. I thought I was pretty clear about that.
"It is more like 0.5%-1% (if not more), and the IFR once you hit 65+ is 1.5% and rises quickly."

The current best estimates of IFR for SARS-CoV2 are:

* 0-19 years: 0.00003 (0.003%)

* 20-49 years: 0.0002 (0.02%)

* 50-69 years: 0.005 (0.5%)

* 70+ years: 0.054. (5.4%)

I feel like the best way to lose weight is to make your own food for your whole diet, keeping processed foods to an absolute minimum. This alongside being aware of drinking mostly water instead of sugary drinks and keeping snacking to a minimum should lead to more gripability on one's diet, since tracking what one eats is much easier to remember when one cooks his own food. If this doesn't quite work, perform a calorie calculation once to be sure it lines with the dietary calculators to actually decrease caloric intake.
The Linux desktop experience is sufficiently hardware-dependent to make single-sample distro comparisons useless.

As a counter-example, I recently installed Manjaro (Arch-based) over Pop OS because Pop was slow and buggy on my relatively high-end system.

Aggregate data can at least give a sense of how likely a given distro is to provide a smooth experience:

If you’re making $100k but have no savings, maybe your money is being spend on trips to Chili’s. Of course it’s not literally that, but an individual having no savings but high income doesn’t mean that they can’t spend money - it means that they do.
Joachim Fest's memoir Not I makes for interesting reading. His father, as a member of a republican organization--I think it translated as "Red-Gold-Black League"--lost his job as school principal immediately. The family was not particularly molested, but the old man was unemployable for the duration of the regime.
Yes. In fact, as far as I can tell, the abstract does not even mention weight loss as an outcome (though it seems to me that this kind of intervention might lead to it).

I assume the submitter has read the full paper and can comment on it? Was the effect not significant, was it not preregistered, or was it not included in the abstract for some other reason?
The future of gaming is in the browser
your comment is fair, but the LA times article is about super-spreaders.. remember super-predators? the fearmongering pumped out of mainstream media, which well predates covid, isnt why any of us read hn. if a covid topic is to remain on hn until the pandemic is resolved, there could be better sources.
I think you're conflating a fringe libertarian stereotype with reality. No reasonable person wants to chance food poisoning every time they eat, which is why we have meat thermometers.

Libertarians that I've read and met, in general, want to remove government policies that force entanglement or reliance on the government. A good example is DUIs; reasonably, we know that driving while impaired is dangerous, but what we don't want is for someone to make the mistake of doing that being beholden to the governments whims for their entire lives, which is currently how it works.
> They're installed for entirely different reasons, so I'm not sure why you'd use the nonexistence of one to argue they wouldn't install the other.

Do you expect chargers to be all over the sidewalks in residential neighborhoods? That's where a lot of people park and I don't see it happening. It'd be such an eyesore.
Even if you could exactly tell what you want, there are always hardware bugs that could kill your software. Software is like the psyche of the maschine but it always depends on it's physis.
Scalable Concurrency Controls for Heterogeneous Workloads
The funny thing is, if you ponder for a while, you'll realize you'd have done some similar mistakes. But such reflection requires being honest to oneself and setting aside/rising above one's ego and doing an unbias reflection for few moments. Then a spontaneous smile will light up your face and unconsciously somewhere you've broken some string of ego otherwise holding you tightly all through your life.
I'll point out that this appears to be measuring sales from OEMs.

I don't think it's capturing anything about people who build their own system, so whether or not that market has grown probably isn't reflected in this.
I think that Europe is not the correct comparison to draw. From what I understand from friends and family, the lockdown in the EU was not particularly different than the US. It varied from region to region. There was some resistance to wearing masks in some places. People did not stop traveling, holding events or eating out.

I think the best comparison to draw is China and New Zealand. They have the strictest lockdowns you can imagine and the virus has been completely contained in those countries. Whole cities are locked down after just a few cases. China has been limiting and disinfecting frozen food imports as it is one of the few remaining vectors the virus has been reentering the country. As far as I understand, their economies and daily life have been saved, but it comes at a huge cost to individual freedom, a cost that North America or Europe would never accept. There is no point in imagining Chinese disease control measures in America. It's beyond the realm of possibility. We need other solutions.
I'd invite you to take a taichi class from a decent teacher and see if you still feel that way in a year. I definitely did not.

> Knees and backs give out because they lack the necessary muscular support and stability.

That is the common way, but not the only way. I was as surprised as anyone. I was literally in a taichi class the first time it happened, and I was nowhere near exhaustion. My knee just went on strike for a 10th of a second. Apparently I'm still mad about it.
Just because Americans can't afford something doesn't mean we won't buy it!
I have no clue what GP is proposing, but "strategic capability" projects tend to be in red states because those are the low-population states where you can spread things out enough to be somewhat resistant to nuclear attacks. Being far from the coast is preferable for similar reasons (more time to intercept missile attacks).
I could see a lot of the university types who teach critical theory as counter-elites. I can agree about Trump, but would add Bernie Sanders.
In a pandemic where people can’t eat out.
This entire subthread is in response to just such a comparison:

"Sure, just like drunk driving or twitching your trigger finger when someone just happens to be in front of the gun."

And I quoted you -- you make a comparison to homicide. Comparing catching a virus to homicide of any sort is...extreme.
The Japanese effort to contain the virus correctly guessed that since the virus spreads quickly the best approach is to identify and contain clusters. This has made it possible to target their testing and tracking in a way that is highly effective.

The not wearing shoes inside really needs to be called out as bunk on two levels. First of all, coronavirus is extremely weak and does not live at all outside of droplets. This means that fomites, that is the spread of infection through residues on surfaces is negligible. You need droplets or aerosol for an infection. Second, as a housecleaner I have found that the no shoes indoors rules leads to less floor cleaning and dirtier floors since the reality is still that gravity takes every crumb and speck down and walking around spreads all that. It is unpopular to say, but in my experience shoes allowed in the house results in cleaner floors because people understand that crud is always accumulating there rather than being in denial.
Ten years ago, it was unknown if the technology behind SpaceX would pan out. No one doubted that the economics would work if the technology also did.
Similar here, but allergies instead of diabetes.

Went to a doctor, got a high blood pressure reading plus some cholesterol. Lucky the doc was reasonable and instead of giving me a bunch of pills, she just tested me for typical food allergies. Turns out I was allergic to 2/3 of my daily diet.

Once I've cut those foods out of my system, everything's back to normal. It really seems we can do quite a bit of good by just not harming our body to begin with.
> Why can you accept people dying, but not accept the economy not doing well?

In the grand scheme of "the economy", my portfolio is up something like 8% for the year last time I checked. My job is stable.

In the locality of "the economy", I have heard multiple businesses in my area say that they are barely hanging on by a thread and will be forced to close permanently if the state forces them to shut down again.

People might not be dying from the shutdowns, but it sure is an uneven load we're asking people to carry. Particularly from this high pulpit of HN, where we nearly all have cushy tech jobs where we don't have to interact with anyone to get paid.
I thought this would be a discussion of how to remove PII from Wikipedia from the edit history.
