I've never been convinced that per capita was a sufficient metric on it's own. I've been following the country numbers (globally) for the last year and the trendlines have been similar almost across the globe with few exceptions:

https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/bda759474...

To me this says the tolerance for local deaths rates -> lockdowns doesn't seem to be per capita but "bad enough" compared to other countries around them, or just hospital tolerance in general. With some exceptions like Brazil who ignore the international reputation or Peru who doesn't have the financial (or more likely leadership) capability to make a difference.
This is probably a big reason for why many cryptocurrencies have a high value as well. Nobody actually uses these things to trade for goods and services (well, maybe for drugs), everyone just expects the USD price to maintain or go up and values it based off of what they think they can get in USD in 5, 10 or maybe even 100 years.

> They are pretty clearly acting as a publisher, as they exercise editorial control over what user content they choose to publish. They are not like a telephone, which just passes everything through regardless of content.

Funny enough, FB used the exact opposite excuse to get away with anything they get sued for. Section 230 was supposed to only apply for platforms, not publishers. Publishers like NYTimes can be sued for knowingly publishing false libellous content. But you can't sue FB for the same because they claim to be a platform while acting as publishers. Currently they are "having their cake and eating it too".

> I'm not sure what the rest of your comment (Rosa Parks, EPA and lockdowns) has to do with Facebook's business.

It has to do with how your logic was used by people in the past to discriminate based on race. The "it's a private company" crowd forget that at one point, segregation, Jim Crow, slavery etc were all allowed. We had to write laws to prevent that from happening. Same needs to be done with any company which has more than a million user generated content users.

> They are also not a communication monopoly, because they are not the only way you can communicate online.

I have already addressed this in my original comment but you are cherry picking and ignoring it.
Wow, your page goes through about five rendering forms on first load. First it appears in plain monospaced text, then it gets rendered to unstyled HTML, then one stylesheet loads that mostly just makes the text bigger (strapdown.min.css), and then another stylesheet loads that handles the rest of the layout and vanishes the header (readable.min.css), and then finally the header appears again as the Raleway font loads. That’s pretty major content- and layout-shifting, and not at all pleasant to behold. And all subsequent pages go through at least two forms (plain monospaced text, then fully rendered).

> Every page involves the browser doing rendering work.

Well yeah, but HTML, CSS and JavaScript are different beasts.

The browser can optimise HTML and CSS in various fascinating ways to provide a smooth experience and cope with loading problems in generally-useful ways; your site, if the JavaScript execution was effectively done in advance, would load faster, and skip at least the first three forms, going straight to fully-rendered-except-for-the-header or fully-rendered, depending on how quickly Raleway arrives. Subsequent page loads would go straight to the correct rendering.

JavaScript, on the other hand, is the most likely to not work, perhaps because it was disabled (including most spiders—client-side rendering is still decidedly bad for SEO, even if Google specifically has mitigated most of that for Google search inclusion), perhaps because it failed to load due to network conditions, perhaps because the browser is old or some such thing. Depending on JavaScript does make a site much less reliable. Sometimes that’s warranted, but I don’t think it is on regular content websites, ever.

By using JavaScript in the way you have done, you’ve guaranteed that it will render badly to begin with, that stylesheet loading will not be done smoothly, and that the site is less reliable and accessible. It’s… probably not a big deal, I begrudgingly acknowledge, but it does matter. It may still be faster than most news sites, but you hardly set a high bar there.
I don't think this is the win you think it is.

That statement has always been problematic, and generally, even the people uttering it know it. Those that don't, who genuinely believe it, well, yeah, that's hate speech. That should be addressed.

Many feminists have been working to address this exact issue with their messaging. Discussions around "toxic masculinity" being the issue, not men themselves, and "Not All Men, but Yes All Women" draw attention to the fact that _enough_ men are dangerous, and enough men allow it, that there's a good chance that any woman you meet has a "harassed by a man" story.

Further, you and I are using the phrase "men are scum" without it being hate speech just fine, since we're using it to discuss an important social point. But using it to vilify an entire gender? Yeah, that's hate speech. You've hit the nail right on the head.
So, not the definition of murder/manslaughter, and the concept of "premeditation" doesn't even apply here. Got it.
Status quo as it stands is Ukraine de jure in control of Crimea, and Russia de facto unlawfully occupying it.

Voting against the resolution was an option. Presumably that means a country doesn’t necessarily believe Ukraine deserves to remain in control of this part of its territory. Zimbabwe and Belarus, among a few others, have voted against. China is the most prominent country among the few who abstained. The rest voted for Crimea being part of Ukraine.
Well yeah, that's the exact kind of needlessly aggressive and divisive rhetoric this is meant to prevent.
>pensions don't really make sense though, because they create adverse incentives all around. first, for the pensioner, who transfers future risk to the pension, and by extension to the company, its customers, employees, and shareholders. and second, it's a big pot of money just sitting there begging the greedy to tirelessly and surreptitiously work to siphon off just a tiny spigot of it. and those are just the two most obvious ones.

well if a pension doesn't make sense because it's a big pot of money attractive to greedy criminals then all sorts of big pots of money don't really make sense though, so in that case I don't think that argument really works.

>for the pensioner, who transfers future risk to the pension

this is probably me being silly but how is the pensioner transferring future risk?

One thing that bothered me from an initial skim of that medium post:

> Even if the difference is only 0.0011 nanoseconds, the test is reproducible and each gives similar results.

From the graphs, this should read 0.0011 _milliseconds_. 0.0011 ns is eons faster than any CPU clocks out there (roughly 900 GHz), and would take a heck of a lot more samples :) Meanwhile, 0.0011 ms is on the order of a microsecond, which is very doable.

(other than that, everything else checks out.)
> Britian, and/or other members of nato, might well decide to shoot back.

This type of fantasizing reminds me of someone getting bullied in the schoolyard and then dreaming that he is beating up his nemesis. Neither the UK nor NATO are going to start a shooting war near crimea, and the UK Navy simply isn't in a position to do anything there. Everyone knows this. Fantasizing about things being otherwise isn't a good use of anyone's time.
CO2 is one metric, CH4(methane) is another. This net heat absorbency is a third, humidity is a fourth - all these metrics sum to give the net earth heating.
This one had (apparently) been neglected or not properly accounted for.
Is this a true error or data burying?
In any event, entrapment of twice as much heat over a time span of 16 years is concerning.
If we get another doubling over the next 16 years - how will this affect warming patterns? Weather? The north american drought? The North african drought?

Reminder that everything from power lines to levees is built to withstand "100-year events" and nothing more. Given the number of things designed this way, something will always be experiencing a 100-year event, at this moment. (Japan made the mistake of building Fukushima to withstand 100-year events and it bit them pretty much immediately)

Obviously not everything needs to be over-provisioned, but when life is on the line it's best to take dismissals as a "freak occurrence" with a grain of salt.

Ask HN: No / low-code tools to build an application in 2021?
I'm interested in building an application that allows a user to sign up and login, ask to be notified about an upcoming event, and receive an email notification. It could be a web-application or phone app, depending on the easiest and fastest development process.

I'm familiar with the enterprisey way of doing this (for example spinning up a React app, cloud-infrastructure, deploy pipelines, etc etc etc) but I'd like to develop and iterate without a huge investment in time.

Are there no / low-code tools or frameworks that would allow me to built an MVP around this use-case? I'm thinking of something that could be released to the public in limited fashion, not a purely in-house prototype or mockup.
That's right; we already have free speech restrictions. Why do we need these extremely vague, extra restrictions, and why now? Nothing in this bill would have prevented the vehicle attack that supposedly prompted this bill.
For most (but not all) purposes, PostgreSQL is approximately as good, the devil is in the details of your specific application. Oracle is a competent OLTP system but it makes a different set of tradeoffs than PostgreSQL. For geospatial performance, as an example, neither platform clearly wins -- it goes back and forth depending on the details of what you are doing.

The tl;dr: start with PostgreSQL and evaluate from there.
These events are real, but also more nuanced than how they are presented.

For instance the ruling against activists boycotting Israel was based on them focusing on a whole country (with kind words like “Israel murderer”) which by definition will englobe unrelated individuals, in a shop targeted at the diaspora.

> On mobile, browsers briefly show the most recent character typed. There's no reason this couldn't be extended to desktop.

I should against it. On mobile device, anyway we use software keyboard to input so we must hide display from others when input password. So displaying last character is harmless.
OTOH desktop users sometimes can't hide their display from others, and they type via keyboard. So always displaying last character isn't good for security. Eye button for selectively showing password field is fine.

Yes Caps is still problem if user never checked by clicking eye button, but still what's the point to adopt confirm field?

I agree that ideally most developer don't have to care about that but browser should.

Stay near your car in case the storm changes directions. Tornados in the US typically go NE to NNE, but are very unpredictable and chasers have lost their lives because they have gone in abnormal directions in a heartbeat.

Exactly. No one wants a war, and no one’s starting it, including Russia whose only choice is to make noise at passing UK warships and live with it. Got to admire the move by the British, who understand that well.
While I share your perception the numbers are clear. Traffic fatalities continue to decline as cars get safer. Correlation does not imply causation of course but I find it hard to believe these trends are in spite of modern safety features.

> One option I've seen previously is transmitting a hash of the password, then hashing + salting it once more, which relies on avalanche effect as you suggest.

If the client-side hash is fixed, this is no more secure than transmitting the plaintext password, since as far as the server is concerned, it is the password. You could, however, send a nonce to the client, send back H(nonce++password), calculate H(random++Hsent), and compare that to H(random++H(nonce++password)) calculated on the server.

Similar to the Monty Hall problem [1], the mistake you're making is calculating the opportunity cost at the time of sale, rather than within the context of perspective. Opportunity cost is dynamic, not static.

If I approached you in 2012 with two envelopes, one with $20 worth of US bank notes, one with $20 worth of Bitcoin, you'd most likely take the cash. If I approach you again in 2021 with the same envelopes (unopened) from 2012, only a fool would take the cash.

Speculative assets would not exist if your theory held water.

Not OP so there might be others, but the two that I see are:

* most crucially, x isn't actually spliced in, meaning that the macro always literally expands to (+ x x). For example, (+ (double 2) 5) just expands to (+ (+ x x) 5), which will either crash if x is undefined or do something unexpected if x is.

* Even if x were spliced in properly, it gets evaluated twice. That's wasteful at best, and if x has some kind of side effect you (arguably) would get unexpected behaviour - the side effects would run twice.

You hold fiat money to exchange for goods and services. You buy securities (or sometimes physical assets) to eventually get more fiat money to then exchange for goods and services. Currently you buy BTC with fiat to later exchange BTC back into fiat and still use fiat to exchange for goods and services. This is why BTC is more like a security than a currency.
These things give us a "free from judgement" way of talking about our prides and failures.

I don't think heat waves are caused by global warming - I think they happen more often as a result of global warming. For example, a heat wave that would normally happen every once in 100 years now happens once every 10 years.

Not a dumb question. It is hard to say. There was a similar spate of temperatures a century ago, though this appears to be topping those.

Even Seattle, which is robustly protected by its geography, is suffering anomalously high temperatures. Few people have air conditioning because most days rarely exceed 25°C. We are looking at 45°C on Monday, which is a once or twice per century occurrence.

I think the distinctions built into Myers-Briggs are a useful substrate for understanding your own tendencies better.

As an example: some situations call for being very detail oriented (J), where some situations call for being big picture (P). If you know you are prone to one or the other, you can either let others handle those situations, or realize that you are outside your comfort zone and be extra intentional.
