You really don’t need to look for a conspiracy angle like Vox is the mouthpiece of the illuminati or something. Just read the article for the explanation and the preprint if you want more details. The difference here is that this was used in a fairly large trial and actually showed a real result, whereas once HCQ was actually trialed it didn’t show a result. (I can’t speak for Ivermectin because I haven’t followed that one, if there’s a sizable trial with positive results post it.)

We should never believe a hosting or cloud provider when they say we have a segregated instance. They may even believe it themselves, but there is always some service connecting them all.
It's not about a beautiful life. Housing is cheap both in places with little economic opportunity and especially in dying areas where former opportunity led to the construction of more housing that is needed after the opportunity dried up. These places are withering plants cut off from sunlight and water. It's like you stood in the oasis and opined that there was all that barren desert to grow in and how silly it was that the plants competed for space near the water.

Take a dying area with plentiful houses for cheap move a bunch of people there. It would cease to be cheap and if there is no outside money flowing into an area populated with the poor they wouldn't be able to resolve each others poverty merely by passing the same scant dollars back and forth and pumping each others gas and making each other pancakes. Instead they should all starve together.

You are asking to have your cake and eat it too. Half the nation is fairly poor. They can't ALL simultaneously move to the low rent district and simultaneously take advantage of the lesser cost of living while all working the small modicum of low wages jobs that are fewer in number in total than the number of folks and reorganize America based on this new theory if for no other reason than this relocation by people living paycheck to paycheck costs more than they have and they would tend to in a poorer area descend further yet down the economic ladder as they moved from not being able to afford to live well in <insert city> to not being able to live well enough in <insert poor area> where they have no family or support.
The CosmosDB serverless pricing model seems very good value for small to medium usage. CosmosDB is also unique in it has geospatial type/query support which DynamoDB etc don't. I believe the serverless pricing is fairly recent so not sure if you checked the pricing before it was released, also on the pricing page you need to specifically click the "Serverless" tab which isn't to obvious as a clickable tab in the UI.

I've recently tested it as needed geospartial query support for a hobby project and the cost is cents per month with the serverless pricing model. I'm also accessing CosmosDB outside of Azure to use low cost VPS hosting and latency is pretty acceptable for web type stuff.

If you are DB read/write heavy obviously pricing is going to be higher due to pay for what you use, pre-provisioned pricing will become the better value option at that point.
Even though not enforceable in practice, you could've been booted off App Store for sending notifications/other means of communication about a cheaper way to pay.

> Maybe the advantage is that the private key never actually can be read by anyone [...]

You're going to be using classical crypto for bulk no matter what, so, no, you don't get that advantage, and anyways, what does anyone care what a session key is when they can get the session plaintext? Worried about decryption of ciphertext the attacker did not earlier get the plaintext to? Just re-key often.

> If you can guarantee the physical integrity of the line for the entire 600km, you're also basically set.

You must be joking.

With classical crypto I just don't have to care if the physical link is secure (except for DoS concerns -- please don't backhoe-cut my links!). For bulk symmetric crypto PQ is not even that much of a concern. And if we ever get to a PQ world, the lack of quantum authentication technology means that QKD will not be a solution to our PQ problems.

No matter how hard anyone tries to find QKD to be better than classical crypto, it just isn't.

Extended (hours, over several days) trackpad use is the first thing that's ever given me serious RSI, in over 20 years of computing. I think the action of click-n-dragging is the main cause. And MacBooks are the only laptops I've used where I don't hate having to use the trackpad for more than a couple minutes, so....
Author here: I originally started doing this for my state, Florida. I wanted to show what our normal cycle of deaths looks like. We generally have the most deaths during the dry, cold weeks of at the end of January and the beginning of February. We generally have the fewest deaths during August, when it is hottest and most humid.

There was a lot of discussion around how many more deaths were caused by COVID versus normal expected causes. I wanted to make that clearer.

You make a good point about the area being misleadingly large. I had not thought of that.

As for population growth, I thought about that but I'm not sure where to get reliable numbers for each region. As is, one can see that in 2017-2019, the curves were showing steady growth as expected to correlate with population.
Author here. That is a good idea. I will try that.
> How do Windows or Mac OS provide better support for commercial development?

They commit to long-term support for software distributed as shrinkwrapped binaries? You can buy a program written for Windows 20 years ago and it will work. If you try to run a program written for Linux 5 years ago it probably won't.

With a ponzi scheme, there is no underlying investment. So the pool of capital never grows.

This Korean system should work in theory. People generally don't move very frequently. As long as there's a liquid market for investments in stocks & bonds, and the housing appreciates in value over the long term, it's not a bad system.

Seems pretty favorable to the landlords too. They get $90k up front for a $100k house. Which they could invest for an 8% or so return, which, in the first year is ~$550/mo in rent, compounded each year, minus maintenance. Yield wise, $7k on a $10k investment ($100k house - $90k from renter) is fucking amazing.

The fact that is has been around for so long suggests that it works in practice too. Yeah, maybe a black swan event causes a liquidity crunch. But so long as the government steps in to provide liqudity (low interest mortgages would work), then it shouldn't hurt too bad. Worst case, foreign investors step in to buy up the real estate.

If only there was a society of learned people, writers, academics, and civil servants, united for the advancement of language, empowered to regularly update the standard so that it remained convenient even as the vernacular evolved!

I wonder if the Royal Society had any plans to create such an organization in the 17th century... ;)
You want Apple to give you some software that lets you do that without restriction. They don’t want to. So if you want to do so without restriction you’ll have to make your own software - as in, literally replace the entire software stack, rom/os/drivers with software that does what you want.

Good luck with that, but don’t blame the device - the object you bought and own - for your failure to be able to.

Once they verify you own the place, police are going to believe you if you say these people are squatters not renters

If that were true then land lords could evict someone just by calling them a squatter. More to the point, everything you're saying is about making a judgement based on evidence. Police collect evidence, courts make judgements based on that evidence.
Ask HN: Join Existing Startup as a Founder?
There is a particular startup for which I am a perfect fit: it’s in a niche, non-software, industry I’ve worked in for many years and I can safely say I’m the only person in the world with extensive experience in the industry who also is a very capable software engineer. Furthermore, I am in the process of building an open source tool poised to fundamentally improve the way the industry works, and the startup is building a paid version. My tool is of course a threat to their business. Even if their tool becomes higher quality, the presence of a free option is not good for their bottom line.

So I think it makes sense to join them and either scrap my project or bring it to the company (not going to get into the specifics of which is a better option), but I think the situation warrants me being more than just an employee. I think it makes sense for me to receive a large chunk of equity. We could call this becoming another founder or not; I don’t really care about the title.

One other catch: they already have three founders. Four seems like a lot.

Does this seem like a reasonable proposal? Is adding a founder like this a common occurrence in startups? Any advice on how to approach the topic? Or any alternatives for someone in a position like this?
Poor gaslighting. But I agree that sides are inappropriate to draw here.

So let me be crystal clear then: You post good comments generally, usually with articulation on your position and reasoning behind it. In this case, you handwave the question away with "it's not that simple" but don't make any attempt to engage with the reason behind it.

You certainly don't need to engage with every comment made online, but my surprise comes from the lack of articulation on this issue. I am happy to learn and expand my own knowledge where possible. I won't however take certain assertions at face value, especially those that cast aspersions (esp. accusations of Nazism) in an environment whereby it's easy to throw people into a Kakfa trap, accusing them of being racist, sexist, misogynist, or some other piece of slander, without any proper evidence behind it other than personal opinion and interpretation.

I mean, you're right, no one at Goldman Sachs is using Google sheets unless it's to get everyone's lunch orders together. (Hell, I bet Google's finance team uses Excel.) But most of us don't work at Goldman and don't do anything remotely complex. I would guess that 90% of Excel users fall into this category and that's who Sheets is for.
Was this taking a MongoDB database app and pointing to CosmosDB or was this developing a app around CosmosDB's partitioning etc but using the MongoDB API for read/write?

The former, lift and shift scenario I can understand as you need to structure your data to work best with CosmosDB/DynamoDB etc. If it's the latter that is useful to know as I'm currently building a POC on Azure so I should watch out for it.
We’ve been expecting that relatively soon move for some years now. So any day now.
It’s already forbidden to sublet rentals at any significant markup (basically accounting for eg furnishing added by the middleman).

If anything there’s lack of enforcement of existing regulation.
It was simply something that I wanted to do. Not joining would not be true to myself.

A friend and I were having a discussion about the merits of the war. He was antiwar, and I was not opposed to it. During the discussion he asked me "Why don't you join up then?"

I didn't have an excuse. Either I need to change my political beliefs, I am a coward and a hypocrite, or I should join. I joined.

My political beliefs have since changed. I am much closer to a libertarian now than I was before. I still am not antiwar, sometimes violence is the answer.

I learned firsthand the meaning of "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."
The explicit numbering is so that you can reorder them to be more "readable" later. I didn't have the heart to do that here, but in the real world, anything goes!
Author here. Yes, I mean both kinds of misattributions. We don't have thorough enough testing to use case numbers or what is written on a death certificate. Just using excess deaths, it is much clearer to me.

As for shit talking, I have been frustrated since March of 2020 at the impotence and incompetence of our culture and government to respond and I'm tired of arguing with Trump and Biden apologists. I could probably word all of that better.

Please explain to me how my simple factual post about something I’ve personally covered as a journalist - that the CCP party chief got transferred from Tibet to Xinjiang and committed severe repression - is a “tedious flame war talking point.” On an article about how what happened in Tibet is a “template” for other regions of China.

How is a post that simply reproduces a wire service headline — “ China forcing birth control on Uighurs to suppress population, report says".” - a “tedious flame war taking point?”

How is a post whose entire text is “ Not OP, but China does many shady things in the Uighur region. For example:
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/09/ch...
…a “tedious flame war talking point?”

You’ve called people names in your response - “nationalistic,” “internet warrior.” What’s nationalistic about pointing out that people are being sent to concentration camps?

I’m not sure how you justify putting the exposition of human rights abuses in Xinjiang on par wjth “tribal” debating but it’s ignorant, amoral, and gross. I don’t think you looked at a single one of the links I compiled or actually took any time to think about how this debate is fundamentally different from so many other threads in HN.

I do want to thank you though. Until now I never understood how moderators on Facebook could let the genocide in Myanmar unfold almost directly on that platform. Your post explains it perfectly. Understanding humans — and reading, just simply taking the time to read - is hard, and most people, like you, can’t be bothered.
Does the settlement allow for alternative payment methods to be cheaper?

It’s kind of a quirk of history that English lost grammatical gender when importing French, German, and Latin words.

The closest idea to gender would probably be the idea of weak/strong vowels that while no longer codified, is what results in things like see/saw, run/ran, mouse/mice. IIRC Old English had a much stronger sense of these and conjugated many of their words in this way.

An example:
Mouse -> Mice is valid.
Moose -> Meese is not.
I'm not clear on what you are trying to say.

This was tried in many large cities in the 60s and 70s. The apartment buildings were ugly and generally became havens for gangs and crime. So.much so that most of them were eventually torn down. Cabrini Green is an example of this.

Building housing alone does not solve the issue. There is a massive support issue that also needs to be addressed. Jobs, child care, food, and so on.
Strategy vs execution
I agree that you can't directly compare but there are some aspects that you can: cost to travel, cost of common goods, etc... Another two aspects that can be compared are the absolute amount of investable income after cost of living and the taxation rate on that.

The rough measure is that you really want those Silicon Valley tech incomes because the investable income is so great. You can value that just via the market actions (how many people are willing to move if given the chance to).
I kind of assumed. You can't just take the price in dollars and convert it with the exchange rate, because customers don't want to buy a "89.398723 yen" app. It has to be $0.99, £0.89, ¥99, etc.

It is interesting that things are not priced in "buying power", but in numbers that aim to most deceive. ("It's not even a dollar!")
> Wow. That's amazing. I don't think anyone's done a completely digital pyramid scheme before.

Not exactly. Developers were free to take outside payments for apps. Developers were forbidden from linking or talking about this from within the app. On their on website was OK. This change lets developers tell their customer about outside payments from within the app.

From what I gather, apps are still required to accept Apple Pay if they offer any type of in-app purchase.

And apps that do not work without an outside-app purchase are still rejected as well.

I wish I knew how the partisan debate became the debate. :(

For myself, I am not convinced we know what the world would have looked like given any alternative response. I do not think we should give up. I just don't know what has actually worked. Hard to argue against more testing, though.

Edit: also, to be clear, I am not trying to argue you shouldn't do the charts this way. Rather, saying I probably need some training to align to what you think this makes more clear. And I believe it could just be different licks, and all that.
Thailand is pretty developed though?
I'm looking at the picture, and that sure looks like a valid sauce consistency to me. A coarse sauce, but a sauce. Again, it looks like (I mean, exactly like) what's on other sauce-mostly pizzas that people definitely say have sauce on them. shrug

Also: so you're telling me they put the crushed tomato on, then put salt and oregano on top of it, rather than stirring those into the crushed tomato? I guess if the oregano is fresh and goes on after the bake, but I'm not seeing that in the photo. One way or another, it's settling in to the sauce.

Pizza sauce, being (in its minimum form) so very simple and uncooked, is a weird case. The ingredients themselves do make the final product, for that. I'd still call that a pizza sauce, and again, I think you'd get a lot of weird looks showing that photo to people and telling them it lacks sauce. If it's not sauce, then lots of more-normal pizzas "don't have sauce" either. Like, if you just had salted crushed tomato, not even any oregano, on a pizza, I would absolutely say it's got pizza sauce on it. Oregano's common, but not required. It'll taste weird enough without any salt that I might start to reconsider then, but only then.
Reversing the flow of aging is reversing entropy locally, so you're, overall, increasing entropy more outside of your body.

The live forever types are just assuming that energy will be plentiful enough to sustain hundreds of billions of people indefinitely [1] and heat easy to dissipate

[1] The population of the earth is stable at 7 billion only because people have this nasty habit of dying. If we stopped doing that, the population would grow exponentially at the birth rate of 1.7%. Or a doubling every 42 years. In 160 years (not that far off from the current record of longevity) the world's population would hit 100 billion people.

Of course the "live forever" types never mention that eternity is a promise for the privileged, and not for the masses.
