Take a look at are highways. Despite constant complaints about them being in trouble, we build a lot of them including many bridges. Take a look at your city there is someplace in the metro area they are building something big.

Fasting growing doesn't mean much. Most people have insurance which covers everything. Yes there are too many people on the edges who don't have it, but most people do and don't need gofundme (I suspect some of them have a gofundme anyway as a way to raise money because they can)

Sure we don't do massive society wide projects, but that is because we don't need them. That doesn't mean we can't.

Ironically, when I considered the likely outcomes, the one that convinced me to stock up on food was not actual supply chain distruptions (which I see as possible but fairly unlikely), but that mass hording will lead to shortages (which I see as very likely).
This is true: If I'm going to take a 40-50% paycut (or more) then I better damn well believe in their goal and mission, enough that their 1% equity will be valuable to me. It's on an emotional level, not a practical one.

Great hustle story ...

He began writing fiction at home in the late 60s, but his first two books, “Pacific Vortex” and “The Mediterranean Caper,” were repeatedly rejected. Unable even to get an agent, he staged a hoax. Using the letterhead of a fictitious writers’ agency, he wrote to the agent Peter Lampack, posing as an old colleague about to retire and overloaded with work. He enclosed copies of his manuscripts, citing their potential.

It worked. “Where can I sign Clive Cussler?” Mr. Lampack wrote back. In 1973, “The Mediterranean Caper” was published, followed by “Iceberg” (1975) and “Raise the Titanic!” (1976).
My favorite quote from the Anarchist's Manifesto: "To Fix Anything, start Everywhere. To Fix Everything, start Anywhere."

It looks grim, and we're going to have to use the few things we've gotten right as a species to fix everything else we've allowed to go wrong.

Places like YC, Twitter, YouTube, etc. have been focusing on insignificant things like clicks and conversions and "content" for years. The public sector has been allowed to fester and become corrupted by people who understand they make more money through controlling the system than they do by actually running it as intended. Meanwhile, BOTH systems are run by a precariously small class of VC's and wanna-be VC's who have become further and further insulated from their consequences.

The real solutions will involve fixing both.
> Are you scraping Google's SERPs or do you pay them for API access? If it's API, how do you plan to monetize?

API.

I think the only way to monetize and preserve user privacy is context based ads. The challenge is that there are very few privacy focused ad networks [0].

So either I need to built an ad network that fits my use case, or try to do direct ad sales. An important part of either of those strategies is user traffic, otherwise no one would be interested in advertising anyway. For that reason I have decided that I will focus on getting people to actually use the site and provide user value first. That does mean I will have to cover the costs in the mean time.

Right now, I do have a clearly indicated ad with an Amazon affiliate link that does display for a limited number of relevant shopping terms, but that won't even come close to covering the operational costs at any volume.

I’m suggesting to rethink the problem fundamentally. Minimize abuses of an exceptional access system. The problem with purely technical folks is often an inability to socially transcend from their techno libertarian ideals

And my statement wasn’t entirely wrong. You can legally prevent large entities from using strong E2EE thus “stopping” the math to some degree - or minimize/isolate the usage of those munitions.

It might be more accurate to say “you can’t stop everyone from trying to use the known math”. And this is likely an acceptable compromise to LE. Reduce the entropy.

Still not clear what I’ve said that’s false.

And, as per another comment, you can claim that the problem isn’t solvable when a compromise aims to minimize the abuses not necessarily eliminate them (although that would also be acceptable).

As it’s possible this will be legally required it makes sense to work towards a compromise instead of arguing on principles that may be strictly true (3>2, how to trust the 3rd wheel, for instance)

If sharing wealth leads to greater wealth, then why is it necessary to try to take wealth (by force)? Why don't people willingly give up their wealth so that they can make more?

If it is possible to make more wealth by giving up some, why not let people choose whether or not they will share? If you theory holds true, then people who share will get richer and the people who don't share will get poorer and the problem will solve itself.
>The annual Flu, MERS and SARS were far far worse

This is NOT TRUE. I urge you to stop relying on the news and look at the literature that is being published in real time. I don't have time for a full response but 15% of cases require ICU care to survive. There are less than 100k ICU beds in the U.S. and the virus spreads 2-5x (R0 estimates from 3 up to 8 depending on source) more readily than SARS or MERS or the 1918 Spanish flu.

Now is the time to be alarmed. The media is behind, for understandable reasons, do not rely on them when in 2020 you have access to the same sources they do. The literature being publishes is almost universally grave. At this point anyone minimizing ncov by comparing it to regular flu is being irresponsible.

Wu. Constructing a "lesser evil" choice is simply a way of justifying evil.

> Google to advertise to me better

It's not mere "advertising". Google's surveillance trove will be exploited for economic gain in unenumerable ways. Sort individuals into classes, market a message of safety, and discriminate to keep the undesirables away - it's the age old playbook. The results of this paradigm will eventually be sold directly to the de jure government, as Experian et al currently do, making the distinction moot.

> big tech (that indirectly provides for my livelihood)

So you've chosen to align yourself with a more-distant oppressive power, hoping that doing so will buy you power to defend against a closer oppressor. Sure that may be prudent, but it is not morally right nor is it sustainable. And backfitting from "what is" to "what should be" is never a good idea.

Less abstractly, yes the US government is corrupt and generally pushes garbage like this EARN act. But that isn't an intrinsic argument against anti-totalitarian regulation akin to the GDPR. Rather the lack of the action on the latter is better seen as further evidence of said corruption.

You're putting way too much effort into choosing a look whereas in a real professional world everyone would choose to exnovate at one kind of outfit and move on to more important matters

As a senior software developer start-up founder and process consultant I'm telling you dress is an important semaphore that most people fumble badly and it only serves to amplify the control dramas and false corporate power dynamics

It should definitely be as easy to unsubscribe as it is to subscribe (or at least through the same mode, i.e. make it possible to cancel on the web if I subscribed there). I think this is already mandatory in the EU.

The worst instance I've seen so far was some big streaming service (HBO or Youtube TV, I don't remember unfortunately), which simply did not allow unsubscribing from outside the US due to their entire site being geoblocked.

I'm an amateur (i.e. it's not my day job) indie game developer. I consider having attempted to support macOS to be the biggest mistake I ever made in game development. I owned Mac laptops when they were the best, and naturally expected to be able to develop my cross platform game engine on it. Apple constantly made things hard for me with every OS update. It was a drain on my motivation and resources, and I always had the background suspicion (due to things such as the deprecation of OpenGL) that at any moment Apple make a change that would render all of my work moot.

Please don't do that. You are using sarcasm to ridicule the guy you are responding to, and that's an unproductive way to argue.

It is also against HN comment guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine.

Its not objectively wrong. If Apple can sell their product at this price that's great for Apple. It feels wrong because Apple position themselves as a manufacturer of high-end-but-worth-the-price goods where you aren't just spending money on a logo. That produces a strange dissonance here because it's impossible to imagine how 4 casters could be worth about $137.50 each, and that's compounded by the fact they're worse than $5 casters that lock in place.
I'm starting to get the feeling that a lot of these jobs, both tech and government, are low key treating non public data access as a perk.

In terms of access time, the standard would be O(1) for hashtables which would be my best guess at how to best represent an ip to domain mapping. Reading from on chain data is done locally (if you have your own node) and is near instant, but for wider reach I think DNS over HTTP would be needed or wasm clients that can be run in a browser.

Here is a possible implementation in Ethereum:

You might be surprised. There are some old laws and powers that are going to be dusted off, and in some other cases it may be the case that governments just claim powers on an emergency basis and essentially nobody other than the absolute political fringes of society is going to complain.

It's possible to develop relatively lightweight browser engines. Refer to NetSurf for instance. However the ones I've seen are not what you'd consider fully-featured or usable for the average user's everyday browsing. The issues begin at implementing modern CSS and JavaScript support. Admittedly I've never looked too deeply at the internals, from what I understand supporting modern web standards is a maze of edge-cases, bug-for-bug compatibility issues and a forever moving target of feature parity with the major browsers.
Such restaurants still usually end up going out of business. For example, a lot of the fried seafood warhorses in Boston are gone at this point.

>> Since we also had control of the client experience in almost all cases, we were able to measure from the client side as well (and trust that data), and include that data in our measurements.

The W3C Network Error Logging specification now allows websites to register client-side errors (DNS, TCP, TLS etc.), record them offline, and send them via side-channel telemetry to a different endpoint later on. This has changed how we measure client-side availability on browser-based services.

Chromium-based browsers (68+) support this feature, enabled by default.

>They will eventually have to maintain a hard fork, the differences will grow such that they eventually have to increase their engineering spend on it to keep pace with just managing the rebases and patches or reimplement features themselves,

This sounds dramatic but Microsoft is a company with 150000 employees. Maintaining a fork of Chromium while open source development continues is probably not an insurmountable feat, and I don't see why it is in principle more work than switching to and contributing to Gecko.

Empirically 3 out of 4 times I get the cold, it is from one of my kids.

If things get really bad I imagine schools will close. If kids are “old enough” they may get some remote homework. Not great but doable.

But if you have a toddler you are pretty much stuffed. I can’t imagine what stay at home quarantine would to my 3 year old. It gets bad enough when we get stuck for the weekend because of storms... but TWO WHOLE WEEKS OR MORE?!!

As someone who was a very early member of /r/wallstreetbets:

1) /r/wallstreetbets and /r/wsb are two different subreddits. /r/wsb are for those that got banned from wallstreetbets

2) When wallstreetbets first started it wasn’t as crazy as it was today. There were some aggressive gamblers but there was opportunity for real due diligence and decent conversation. I contributed more than a few posts back in the early days. After it got crazy I unsubscribed until recently. Robinhood and the options trading and margin trading has really made things crazy. I see absurd bets made on there that make me both jealous and glad I’m not 25 with too much money to gamble.

3) those who say it’s likely too small to make a difference go check out the timing of the Lumber Liquidator due diligence post and the subsequent jump in price. I don’t know what the difference is between pump and dump vs posting due diligence but there definitely was a correlation. I wish I still had my data account because I would love to see the exact correlation of options trading and stock trading to the posts.

4) the memes and gifs are hilarious if not vulgar and bigoted. But if you have thick skin some of the memes are very well made.
Most organizations use a really flawed methodology to hire people in the first place (some combo of phone scree, behavioral, technical screen, team interview). Whether you know the area you're interviewing for or not... you aren't going to figure out if someone knows their shit in 3 hours of talking to them anyway because the only way to know for sure if someone can do something is to have them actually do that thing. Unfortunately most companies don't like this concept (this is not a reference to take home projects...)

Assuming you want to skip actually working with the prospect and you want to try to assess via an interview format, you're looking for one thing: Will this person help your company make money? I.E. will they get results.

While you can never answer that question for sure, looking for human beings that are results oriented is a reasonable first step. Machine Learning as an example is typically a project based type of work. Ask about their projects, how it went, and what was the result. If you talk to enough people about the results of their work, someone will stand out (maybe many people)... then you can move along to what normal hiring managers do anyway: hire who they like the most or pick out of a hat.

The other thing you can do is get expertise in the area.
