I think it is fair to say that they invested $2B, if it were a dead end there was a chance that the machines would not be that useful, or at least they would incur a large loss on paying a premium for them at the time.

Conversely it shouldn't be frowned upon that they invested and believed in BioNTech's methods that made it trivial to almost immediately produce a vaccine candidate on an unproven platform.

Moderna likewise had their vaccine candidate within days of having the sequence, vaccines are mostly pretty easy when your first try works!

I credit the HP-41CV I had in in high school for growing my interest in programming. Through college it was an HP-48G. My father-in-law recognized my love for these devices later by giving me his old HP-35, complete with manuals and a couple accessories.

One of the more interesting accessories was his special HP-35 hardcore looking security lock. You would securely bolt the base of the lock to your desk, place the HP-35 inside, and connect and lock the cover with a key. Precious device back then!
Funny you say that about the visual noise because as someone who’s dyslexic, I find line numbers actually help with readability since it is easier for me to remember a number than it is text.

I also find it especially useful in vi when working with config files. I’m sure you are aware of this feature but in case others aren’t, in vi if you type numbers before a command, it runs that commend n times. So you can quickly copy or delete multiple lines.

It just goes to show how deeply personal a preference a persons code editor is.
Anandtech / Tom’s Hardware, if you’re there, please do this!!
Yes, that's so relaxing for little finger. In fact my minimal vi config is

It goes well beyond social media, and internet. There are coordinated attacks by organizations with huge financial backings against political dissidents socially, financially and politically. Social media censorship is only the beginning. They already have come for people's livelihoods, bank accounts, jobs etc. Total castration seems like the end goal.

It’s not enough. You should go all the way:

set nobackup
set nowritebackup
set noundofile
set noswapfile

I explain why at https://lee-phillips.org/badvim/

Also, it’s best to just have one instance of Vim running, in server mode, so you can send files to it from the command line.

> What do you mean by "own the distribution"? Brave passes the content through a privacy-respecting CDN.

Yes. Brave [EDIT: the company] is unilaterally putting itself between the creator and the consumer, usurping the task of serving the RSS content without the permission of the content owner. Among other problems, this destroys the ability of creators to get even basic readership metrics for people who might choose to use Brave.

Imagine that Brave [EDIT: the browser] started copying and serving your entire web site in your name without your permission, rather than just your RSS. Does that help you understand why this is a problem?
I've changed the title to "cryptocurrency" to make it clear!
> This could be of interest compared to known heuristic algorithms.

The problem is that it isn't. Yes, a big enough cellular automaton can be used to solve problems, but the ratio of "processors" to "problem" isn't practical and we are not learning anything to improve heuristics because the "solution" here is only practical on a 2d surface.
The Black Death drastically altered how European society worked, playing a large part in the death of serfdom.

The other large scale pandemic that comes to mind was the Spanish flu, but that was during WW1 so it's hard to separate out any changes caused by it vs. WW1, and WW1 also did a lot to hide pandemic specific death rates reducing likely flu specific impact on society.

That said the relative brevity of the covid pandemic makes me doubt that there will be any large scale changes to society - I suspect it's mostly going to be the normalization of a lot remote work type things. There was already one article about snow days being replaced with remote learning, which was clearly possible years ago but needed the pandemic to become a plausible replacement, etc.
I agree. It looks like I made a mistake.
Usually smartcase does what I want. The only time it doesn't is when I really really want just lower-case characters, but it's a very good heuristic.

It's unfortunate that the article you linked leads with a headline citing vague "blue states" but then only talks about NY's (a single state) parochial, extremely outdated electoral system. If the author was trying to argue that both parties engage in voter suppression on the same scale, they did not provide nearly enough evidence to offset the rampant discrimination GOP state legislatures engage in every cycle.

Yes, NY should update its voting codes. So should nearly every red state (and blue states should get ahead of the curve and implement RCV or other similar measures)
Is Gurlic open source?
I see, I suppose it depends on one’s habits then. Personally I’m used to roughly approximating relative jumps or using search to arrive at the desired identifier, but then I wouldn’t call myself especially efficient.

The only time I find using :number is when I am exploring a codebase elsewhere, e.g. using GitHub’s web interface, and want to jump to a particular line in Vim to make edits—rarely happens.
Sure, but the attackers you want to consider are the ones who have generators that can match your minimum entropy to generate the password - assume their dictionary is no longer than yours, their set of punctuation doesn't have any characters yours doesn't, etc.

Most companies are not willing to pay. In most cases they look for Seniors but want pay average market compensation. There are multiple issues with this approach.

- excellent senior developers already have golden handcuffs
- there is high opportunity cost for switching jobs when senior
- for average price you get average talent, people with empty years

You get far in the pipeline to discover that they will not pay enough. I got an offer a few months ago but I wanted an extra 100$ on daily rate to justify switch, but they decided against. The Project in question is already at risk, and they are trying to hire for months but HR want to save...

The second big problem is proving my abilities. Coding test might be good for baseline ability but you will not discover person leadership skills, organization, drive and mental health/strength. I have very little time to prep for advanced algorithm questions and my CS background is weak. My open source contributions are mostly drive by.

Third is the level of dysfunction in organization. On interview company would pretend how modern and forward thinking they are but in reality everything have yearly roadmap and pets servers on RHEL 5. Glassdoor is helpful but you can have great teams one part organization and terrible in another. By accident, you might join a manager building empire without interest in actual product. On the other side are teams driven by Product with painful level of tech dept.

The swap file saved my work a number of times. If you never use recover and use Vim regularly, then go ahead and disable it; if you haven't used it because you don't know how to use it or you only rarely use Vim, then I'd encourage you to either try it first or leave it enabled (as it is by default) until it becomes a nuisance.

And like u/strogonoff, I also disable line numbers, but that's just personal preference of course. For vim newbies, relative lines might also be worth checking out: "set relativenumber".

One thing that really annoys me is :Wq or :Q not being commands. Or typing only Q because you didn't hit the : and accidentally entering ex mode. Or hitting F1 instead of escape. I can recommend:

command Wq wq
command WQ wq
command W w
command Q q
nnoremap Q <nop>
map <F1> <Esc>
imap <F1> <Esc>

Or for the non-newbie that has the 'too many terminals' problem, "set title" will give your terminals more useful titles. There are a bunch more things, of course, but these are the lines in my vimrc that I think are useful to most people.

Not [a] third-party, but a set of unrelated third-parties. Like ODoH, this ensures the data identifying the user is not associated with the data identifying the resource(s) requested. As a result, third-parties (which can't be avoided) are incapable of tracking users or their data.

Just in case someone doesn't read the full article, before you respond saying "wow, expects people to go to theatres in the middle of a pandemic":

> Public safety comes first. Nobody argues with that. Which is why when it became apparent the winter would bring a second wave of the pandemic, I understood and supported the decision to delay “Dune’s” opening by almost a year. The plan was that “Dune” would open in theaters in October 2021, when vaccinations will be advanced and, hopefully, the virus behind us. Science tells us that everything should be back to a new normal next fall.

I've been looking forward to the movie and would have watched it in theatres once it was safe. I still intend to try even if it's streamed (I don't want to subscribe to another streaming service anyway), plus the experience of watching it in theatres is worth it for me.

Ha, what a classic example of the Streisand effect:

> While there were a few mentions in the press early on, news coverage of the Derby didn’t really pick up until 1932, when the Ontario government tried to have the will nullified and the money given to the University of Toronto. After a huge public outcry — the Toronto Daily Star accused the government of resorting to “communism in the raw” — the government’s claim was withdrawn. At that point, several other women seem to have realized that their family size put them in contention and started to compete as well.
Is there really a [non-currency] "cryptography" industry? Cryptography is more an academic field, and well there are certainly companies in that space, they usually get grouped into what industry they serve, not as a "crypto" industry itself.

All that is to say, i thought it was pretty clear from context that we are talking about cryptocurrency.
If you attempted to disagree, you would have to argue one of the following:

A. The following is not a common perspective among the PHP community: "Problems do not change based on the language chosen to solve them. Inability to use a tool is wholly unrelated to the quality of the tool itself."

B. That perspective has absolutely zero impact whatsoever on the choices of tooling, frameworks, automated tests, and code found in an unknown team's PHP codebase.

C. Whatever impact that perspective does have on the differences between a Python codebase and a PHP codebase will not meaningfully impact the productivity of /u/afarrell.

D. Therefore, it cannot be the right personal choice for /u/afarrell or another developer to avoid PHP. Do not leave money on the table for /u/kingdomcome50 or /u/tux.

If your response to this is "Huh? Sure, whatever. Different people are different. Make your own personal choices. It's a free country." then that is 80% of my point.

The other 20% is: Lack of self-knowledge and the inability to give/take a rejection will lead you to do things that are not healthy for you.

Bike commuter here.

The reason why I sometimes treat traffic lights as stop signs is because I'm worried the driver coming up to the red light might be distracted by their phone and run right into me. This has happened to two of my friends.

So my seemingly disregard of the traffic laws is often to put more space between me and heavier vehicles.

However if car and I end up at a four-way stop at the same time, I'll let the car go first because I don't trust that driver saw me.

With driving a two-ton vehicle should come more responsibility and attention, but Americans view driving as a God given right.
Yes. But ideally this should happen instinctively. Say, if you're thinking, it's pretty natural to defocus or look at wherever. Whenever you're not actually reading or looking at something on the screen your eyes should wander off even if it's just for a few seconds.
I like when people complain about HN without understanding how it works.

Actually, I don’t. Downvoting turns your comments grey. Flagging is a separate action.
I sincerely doubt this. Behavior has hardly changed even in the middle of the pandemic. I expect it to revert back for the most part.

(It may have changed a lot for some demographics, or in some parts of the world, but I don't think the average has changed much... when cities opened up in the summer it was bustling and business as usual, even before a vaccine).
As a latino I noticed that Narcos increased the stereotyping of the region, not the other way around.

Not necessary, AFAIK, unless you invoke vim using the alias "vi". If you call "vim" it'll start in nocompatibe mode by default.

The nocompatible mode means adding some features to vim rendering it "incompatible" with the original vi. For example in the original vi you can only undo the last action, with compatible mode on vim will mimic this behavior.
They were probably just chewing on it
Ask HN: Does Cloudflare Warp+ Work?

>It would if many large governments abandoned their own currency

According to Google, there were ~ 2825 billionaires in the world in 2019.

That's 2.825 T right there, and we're talking:

- Billionaires the world actually knows about
- Not counting folks who have 10's or 100's of billions
- Private individuals as opposed to large retirement funds

There's also the oft-and-widely forgotten fact that market cap is wildly different from actual invested funds: jut because two dudes somewhere decide to swap one AMZN share for 30K USD doesn't mean Bezos is suddenly 10x richer.

All in all, while I believe 1M BTCUSD to be unrealistic, if a sizable fraction of that stashed money moves to BTC because they're looking for, e.g, an inflation hedge, there's easily another 10x to be had.

My opinion, not investment advice, goes without saying.
So your suspicions are partially verifiable. The automobile industry did buy laws (and the LA subway-trolley system) to favor cars in America.

Gambling on efficacy would not have been a reasonable approach.

I understand the temptation to think that this would be a good way to proceed but developing a complete supply chain for a dud would have been a total disaster for everyone involved and would have taken resources away from viable vaccines.

All of the big vaccine producers had full faith in these candidates and they poured money into their production in advance of phase 3 trials and we are still supply constrained. Making the same bet a month or so earlier (the largest gain possible) would have had a small incremental gain but an enormous downside.
In Denmark we also have the notion of soft road user. Where pedestrians are the most soft, then bikes and lastly cars.

If a car is in a traffic accident with a pedestrian or a cyclist he will always be assumed responsble.
If you read a bit of the kaggle discussion you'll find a lot of interesting links. The BirdClef competitions have some good write ups which, at the very least, will get you to dinner best practices for augmentation, which seems to be half the problem.
