Go look at the data instead of parroting headlines.

Or, even better, talk to anyone who works in a front-line NHS role, particularly in areas like A&E/intensive care. People who understand the context of the statistics and how they translate to real standards of patient care do not think everything is OK right now.

As it happens, I've spent some time over the past few days travelling to and from various medical facilities. Every single one of them had heavy precautions in place. And on the radio in the car this afternoon, there was a whole series of medical and public health professionals talking about not only the current situation with the virus but also how damaging it is when people do exactly what you're doing right now.

Remember, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, they probably know something you don't.
That's because I was relating my personal experience building MVPs rather than spouting TDD dogma.
It sounds like you're saying that if someone wants to fight me over what I'm wearing, that I should be arrested. That feels backwards, and I don't think the specifics of the article of clothing change that.

Do you run native phone apps? Because they are 10000x worse. 75mb to display a website and 20 tracking/retargeting libs.

Apps are killing the open web anyway. People being born now will grow up without knowing what the web is.

I agree about the state of the web tho. I'm a web dev and I often browse with JS disabled and always with adblocking and pihole.
If the entire world will bend under US regulations and will respect their white-lists and black-lists, it might be an issue. But that means losing independence (because surely US won't respect Russian blacklists) and plenty of countries won't agree with that. So there will always be escape routes as long as you're physically outside of the US.
The design is really elegant! I could see myself using this if I could make my CV unlisted / un-indexed. I used to have a public resume, but then recruiters found it and relentlessly spammed me with irrelevant recruiting offers, and also spread my resume to more and more recruiting spam networks.

I also wonder if you have a plan for monetization; I didn't see a FAQ about content rights / usage / pricing.
The elites have been in power since idk when.
Thanks for the link. I’m on mobile and only got a second hand source on my comment below. I totally agree it must be worse now. It would be interesting to see the latest numbers.
I agree. It's a power grab and security theater. It's like the TSA at airports. Let's show we're doing something for the people who keep screaming at the government to do something. It's like trying to stop a hurricane or an asteroid impact. Everything is for show and most of it is just going to make things worse.
> In [0] it states that 2020 is an average year in deaths

It does not.

> In [1] it shows averages for the previous years in numbers summing while years up.

This still has no relation to deaths in the year 2020. You cannot tell anything about deaths caused by coronavirus from data that only goes up to 2019.

> "The growing spread of Coronavirus in the community is not year showed any change in the number of deaths in Sweden"

My translation is "The increasing spread of the coronavirus in society is not yet visible in the number of deaths in Sweden", meaning, "there may be more coronavirus cases than we can tell from just looking at deaths". A significantly different meaning to "coronavirus did not cause any change in number of deaths", which is in any case flatly contradicted by the same article which describes increases in excess deaths in the second quarter.

For what it's worth, I am willing to believe that despite the massive increase in excess deaths in the second quarter, it could be offset by reductions in excess deaths in other quarters. So if you do have data that specifically compares excess deaths for the last few years feel free to share it. Currently you haven't got anything to support your statement.
Irrelevant pendantry is boring.
Perhaps a bigger share of a declining market. IDC forecast that 2020 desktop sales would be down about 17% while notebook sales rose about 26%. While many companies still use Wintel PCs for employees who are (normally) always at their desks, many others increasingly have standardized on notebooks even if not everyone needs one.
Much of that stock market wealth is tied up in the retirement accounts of people who are about to retire or are retired. A large portion of it is the elites without a doubt, but much of it is just people who've been contributing to a 401k for the last 50 years. Obviously they should both be in the upper percentages of income/wealth as well as own much of the stock market. They've been contributing for years and years.
Actually that’s the same with slack, each slack server has a unique url too.

You should read about US sanctions, that's actually pretty close to the truth. Living outside of US jurisdiction means... living in Russia, AFAIK.
Good point although I think that mechanism is rarely used and highly scrutinised when it is. The government has lost several high profile court cases in the last few years which I doubt would happen in a more politicised system.
Can you post a link on the evidence for contact tracking in the UK and the data analysis please? I genuinely want to see it.

Edit: the poster updated the post with an article rather than adding a comment. It wasn't there when I commented. Also an article from The Atlantic isn't data analysis.
The problem isn't comparative advantage, it's that the US left the poor states to languish with poor education. So instead of higher quality manufacturing / blue collar jobs, non-educated folks got minimum wage service jobs.
How long will it be before I have to wait for a union React dev to open a PR on the frontend as a backend dev, and a union DBA to write a new SELECT statement for me, and a union CSS dev to shift a header three pixels to the right, and a union mathematician to approve my simple arithmetic ?

I felt like we should have done that with Saudi oil after 9/11. Why did we let them have no consequences when their policies were most directly responsible for it, out of all countries in the world? We should have put a tariff on their oil and used Canadian crude until they stopped promoting extreme Wahabiism.
it required several person-months to implement and verify a generic doubly-linked list library in F*, while it required only three hours to do so in Dafny

This could be deceptive. Structures like linked-lists are fiendishly hard to implement in safe Rust too, but people are able to stay productive by (mostly) not implementing things like that themselves. In Rust's case the difficulty comes from ownership: anything involving complex reference graphs for the sake of traversal is going to be really gnarly to establish a single-ownership story for. I don't know about F*.
> We need to leverage our current knowledge to deliver actionable results to regular people.

Sure, Gavin Belson, what are our OKRs for that?
I need to handle (for work) a graph with 40 million nodes and more than 130 million edges.
As expected, networkx couldn't handle more than a million nodes so I had to search for python libs which might handle that much data.

This is why I've been using your lib (https://github.com/VHRanger/nodevectors) for at least 2 weeks now as well as these 2 other libs: https://github.com/louisabraham/fastnode2vec and https://github.com/sknetwork-team/scikit-network. What do they have in common? They handle sparse graphs (using CSR representations).

Having a graph with several million nodes isn't just some edge case, social graph for instance grow way faster than anyone could expect.
So I do totally agree that there is a gap between popular graph libs which handle very small graphs and real life libs which need to handle way bigger graphs.

Btw, thanks for the work you've done with 'nodevectors'.

PS: I'm not criticizing either networkx which is very handy and quite good when prototyping a solution.
I've long argued referendums ought to require supermajorities based on how easy the change voted on is to undo and an assessment of the extent of the change. It encourages the side that wants change to aim to find ways to minimise the change they ask for and maximise the viability of reversal to lower the bar for the vote.

Achieving a reasonably objective assessment of what the required majority should be would be very hard, though.
Probably important to mention that this is strongly cultural and in many countries (eg, not the US) we don't see the massive over-pathologisation of normal ranges of human experience.

> 2 days to determine what the Moderna vaccine should be from a computer

This step used to take years. And require state of the art facilities, with biohazard containment, viral samples, etc.

Now? Given a virus sequence done in a lab on the other side of the planet, one can design a vaccine in a day. Sure, it took many years of research (and in coronaviruses in particular) to reach this stage, specially on how to stabilize the spike protein. But one cannot understate how amazing this new technology is.

And then once done you can send the results to a machine to get it "built". At a low scale, sure, but it's still impressive.

With the mRNA approach we no longer have to resort to things like using eggs to make the vaccines, we can use the cellular machinery for that. It's mind-boggling.
AFAIK repurposing drugs takes longer on average. There’s new flu vaccine every year, right?
Money wants to make more money. And it doesn't care about national boundaries.

Consensys | Senior Ethereum Developer/Researcher | Remote | Full-time preferred

Magmo is a 100% remote team at Consensys Mesh, focusing on Ethereum state channels research and implementation. State channels (https://statechannels.org/) are a L2 blockchain scaling tool that enables peers to execute many blockchain transactions involving a fixed set of peers, at a fixed cost -- after some initial setup, transactions only involve network messaging. We previously released Web3torrent as a proof of concept (previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23602008) and are currently collaborating with The Graph to implement state channels on a large scale on mainnet (https://thegraph.com/blog/the-graph-brings-state-channels-to...).

We're currently hiring a full stack developer, though we will happily consider any candidate with an appropriate background and a keen interest in our project. Our stack includes Typescript, PostgreSQL, Solidity, Rust, and React. We've also used TLA+ for some formal verification (https://blog.statechannels.org/breaking-state-channels/), and aim to use more tools to verify our protocols and implementations.

Full time employment is preferred, though many of our team work part-time, and we are open to flexible working arrangements.

See our job posting at https://consensys.net/open-roles/2510553/, or email me directly (andrew DOT stewart [at] mesh DOT xyz) if you have any questions.
I do not think you said anything wrong, is much less about what you're saying and more about how you're saying (as if it was a simple thing to get right and people are dumb for not doing it in an optimal way).

> Actually most of the people working on shots are considered TDs.

That's not true in the studios I've been. TDs is usually reserved to more close to pipeline folks that aren't doing shot work (as in, delivering shots). They're supporting folks doing so.

For the record, I haven't downvoted you at all.
Yea, this isn't true. Most of the money in the markets are from the average Joe's 401k, or pension. Wealthy people put their wealth to work in private equity, or venture capital.

I am just disgusted at how incompetent people are, and how they reiterate what they heard from CNN, Foxnews, or morons like Ron Paul.

Now, Banks, and Funds manage large amounts of cash, but again, Pensions and 401k's make up the most of it.

> The Turkish bath orgies would have never happened […]

Are you sure? There's a line of thinking that I'll paraphrase here. I'm a heterosexual man. Do you know what keeps me from enjoying more casual sex with varied partners? Women. If women were more like men, I'd be meeting them in Turkish baths.

I want to raise the possibility that what curtailed Turkish baths was not the decriminalization of homosexuality but the advent of AIDS itself. That put the kibosh on the Studio 54, Days of Disco party. What we saw was the Sexual Revolution's "free love" ethic brought to life by men unrestrained by the reservations of women. AIDS put the damper on that.

I say the above without moral judgment. I'm just saying.

read the transcript, link at the bottom.

The issue isn't that we don't have leadership that would work with "groups" who do similar to what was done in Taiwan the issue is government would want control over the groups to include who was in them. pretty much they would drive the innovation right out the door.

then they would turn around and clamp down on anyone who dared do similar work that was not part of the government sanctioned cooperative effort.

When my team was sent home because of COVID we were told to set up home offices and offered equipment if we needed it and told we had to have an office space, even if just a desk by our bed because the consultants had shown how bad it was for your physical and mental health to work from a bed.

I can't imagine anyone thinking being hunched over all day with your neck leaning forward could somehow magically be good for their back and neck alignment, or that lying down all day would be a positive of your cardio health. You'd think they'd be convinced when they went to look for any research backing their bizarre claims and couldn't find any.
There isn't any science there, just conjecture from the government on how their restrictions will alter social behavior. It's rather mind blowing to me after seeing extremely well funded and massive projects like the war on drugs in the U.S. fail, to now where the government thinks it can successfully push society in the right direction with even more drastic measures.

Well of course there is a generational divide and it's a great thing and exactly what one should expect.

Someone who is 60 years old has had approximately 30-35 years worth of time to invest and accumulate assets compared to someone 30 years old who has only had 5-10 years worth of time.

I believe you're bias towards centrism and the belief that the truth is somewhere in the middle, the cited people are wrong, and their perception of this site having a socialist lean is precisely what demonstrates their own bias. Believing that other people disagree with me proves we must both be wrong is ridiculous, you can in fact be wrong along with the people you quoted, rather than the sole voice of reason in an irrational site.

I made that statement because I saw the thread the other day about the same topic and all the top posts were people who think any store owner should have a right to remove problematic references to medical drugs. Including many posts about how the person in question should just give in without protest. Because of strong tyranny of the majority effects intrinsic to systems like Hacker News, once an update put the view that the person should "just give in" in a bad light, the slim majority of posters stopped posting and the slim minority of posters who were critical of apple thereafter posted with confidence. The reason you see so many people with differing views is that the community actually has a great diversity in its views, but still has slight biases, which are amplified by the site format, not the fact that everybody who notices these slight biases are bias themselves.

Yeah I know that, my best mates girlfriend is a doctor. But that's not at all proof of anything. There is a reason that wars aren't planned and architected by the foot soldier in the trench. They don't have perspective and the task at hand detracts from the bigger picture. I have the utmost respect for our NHS heroes but front line personnel are the last people you should ask. They have been put through hell over the past year and if I were in their shoes I would be ready to keel over. And that's exactly why these individuals shouldn't be calling the shots...they're just seeing one part of the puzzle.
