> coronavirus not contained by late May

??

It cannot be "contained" any more. Consensus is it's pandemic, it's not hard to see.

Do we not understand how this works? What do reporters or the public think can happen?

Even if there is a vaccination, which in reality will be years off, we can't even vaccinate measles across the world and certainly not by 'May'.

We can't even supply gloves and face masks at the levels we need.
It’s not just an energy issue. The abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contributes to ocean acidification.
The article links to a website where you can calculate your footprint, and buy offsets in various programs to negate that footprint (projectwren.com). It would cost me USD 17 / month to offset my (larger than average for my country) footprint. Why do I even bother with my reusable coffee cup and paper straws for that kind of money? I just don't understand. If an extra charge of $10 / month for everyone in Europe would 'solve' the problem, why don't we do it?

2020 IC Outlook: Uncertainty
My Mazda CX-9 has this sort of check (to require at least one hand on the wheel) but it’s incredibly annoying due to false positives. Every once in a while I am only touching the wheel lightly and it freaks out with alarms. It’s just my personal experience but I think it is more dangerous to have a bunch of erroneous, distracting alarms than it is to try to police everything.
There's no better time to write or code than late at night, in my opinion. I don't stay up until morning every night, but some.

I have switched away from routinized, schedule-based sleeping, and towards going to sleep when I am tired, waking up when I'm ready, and listening to my body for what it wants.

When it's cold, gray, rainy, short days, I sleep more on average. When the weather is warm and sunny, I sleep much less. If I'm feeling down or like I'm coming down with something, I let myself sleep as much as will fit, sometimes 16-20 hours or even more.

On occasion I do scheduled things, and I try to anticipate it and steer the day before, sometimes resorting to an alarm.
If it’s only once a year, and it’s planned it works out fairly well.

I previously worked for a fully remote company for 3 years and we hosted a conference for our customers every year in January in south Florida. The team all came in a few days early, usually brought spouses, kids, and we generally had a great time building social bonds and doing some light planning for the year during those days.

It’s a balance. Remote doesn’t necessarily, and in my opinion shouldn’t, mean never being in the same physical space as coworkers.
Can't tell if that is sincere or snarky. So, you win?

But, in all seriousness, why did this need to happen, and what is its significance, if any? Should I be trying to interpret it, or is it just "here's the new name, just so you know it's the same project when you hear aboit it"?

And how about zstd, anyway?

YANML so I shall remain anonymous, and we will agree that what is below is a work of imaginative fiction:

I was presented with the temptation to commit the same crime that sent this guy to jail.

I made a movie with my brother and dad.
We figured, how different could this be from software? (it wasn't really)
Things got financially very complex, when more money got spent than we had. (I was not the one that spent it)
Things got even more complex when my dad signed a deal with a production company to get us out of the hole (without my brother or I agreeing he could do this)
They put in some money to pay invoices, and agreed to pay us ~$300,000 but as I recall being told, when it came to paying the money they wanted invoices for about a million worth of fake spend.

according to one of their staff members, they themselves were in the hole after making a movie with an oscar winner who'd who'd spent the whole shoot blitzed on coke. I didn't speak to them ever again after a confrontation on the last day of the shoot. I heard they were shocked when we refused to provide fake invoices, incredulous, that we wouldn't do something they considered film industry normal. (it's common, it's not normal)

What happened after that I can only piece together from rumours, which as I understand were:

They had assumed that we would provide the invoices and already submitted tax claims for film producer tax incentive payouts.

These supporting invoices were requested and they fled the country.

Every now and then someone tells me that they recognise me from tv.

TLDR: I got no money, but I didn't go to jail
As someone who's worked in the UI automation field for approaching 10 years, getting it to not break takes a little of (1) knowing what actual user interactions look like, (2) knowing how UIs commonly break, (3) knowing how the underlying UI framework commonly breaks / what shortcuts programmers are apt to take (e.g. simulated async in VB6), (4) knowing how events and code interact in a running system, & (5) striking the proper balance between performance and reliability.

Honestly, though, 75% of automation errors are timing missteps -- automation dispatching events at a specific millisecond that a human never would.
My sister in law was in Milan a few days ago. In her words the city was deserted and the reaction by immediate family members to the description was to fuel more panic and suggestions to react by hoarding basic food supplies asap. The main rationale for suggesting that was to react on other people panicking.

Everything we do has consequences.
I wish this attitude was more prevalent.
It sailed with Turing completeness! At least, the popular interpretation of the phrase that ignores the word “obvious” did.

First, Bernie is a democratic socialist (or more accurately, a social democrat, but the distinction has been lost in recent years) not a socialist. His policies have overwhelming support by Democratic, Independent, and Republican voters -- for instance, Medicare for All had 70% approval nationwide and 52% approval by registered Republican voters in late 2018[1].

And the poll you're likely referring to[2] shows him with a double-digit lead. Now, I'd hope it'd be pretty obvious what kind of bias MSNBC has by running a poll that asks questions such that you get a result like:

> while also finding that the most unpopular candidate qualities in a general election are being a socialist, being older than 75 years of age and having a heart attack in the past year

Oh gee, I wonder what possible candidate they might be referring to (in an article which is titled "Sanders opens double digit national lead"). I don't know what the question in the poll was, but it should be fairly obvious how easily you could phrase the question to come up with that result.

If Bernie is so unpopular, why is he the only candidate (of any political party) in American history to win the popular vote in the first three primary states?

And I also think most people don't understand what prison populations look like. Federal prisons are dominated by non-violent crimes; this report states fewer than 5% of federal inmates' most serious crimes were violent offenses. (1) The proportions are different in state prisons, but there non-violent offenders still make up about half of the population.

People are also completely misinformed about recidivism. Not only does keeping someone in prison for longer increase their risk of reoffending, the sort of crimes people are most afraid of tend to have some of the lowest recidivism rates. For instance, murderers are the least likely to reoffend out of any criminal category (2). Of course, this does have to be balanced against the seriousness of the offense if they do reoffend. But unfortunately, solitary and isolated instances of the best approach failing are turned into big political talking points -- i.e., the murderer who is released on parole and kills someone else a day later. Things like this are extremely rare, but the risk they carry as political hand-grenades means that the worse approach gets enacted almost universally.

And don't even get me started on the human rights disaster that is capital punishment. A barbaric punishment, outlawed by most developed nations; which unintentionally kills innocent people; which is more expensive than life imprisonment; and which does absolutely zero good in (a) preventing future crimes -- it has provably no power as a deterrent -- and (b) bringing back the victims who have died. We kill people because it's "what they deserve," as if the state has any right to decide whether its own citizens live or die.

Tesla's Autopilot Is Once Again Under Investigation by the Feds
Not to choose a side, but sleep deprivation can be related to running an engine with low oil or running it while overheating. Extreme exhaustion is usually a chemically imbalanced period.

If we see 6 hour workdays become the norm during the automation boom, we may see that shifting to 12 hour business days with a well rested workforce was the only way to keep up with the next wave of innovation while keeping 1st world working conditions.

If your UX designers can stomach it, simply ensuring async actions have a defined signpost to signify completion is the most helpful. E.g. an element that shows up when results are finished loading on the page.

"Spinner that disappears" isn't terrible, but isn't great either.

"Everything looks the same, and then some results load, and more results might load at some point, maybe" is sadly not that rare.
It also depends on how distributed you are. Traveling to Florida from Texas is a very different experience than traveling to Florida from Europe or India.

I've spent several years traveling, and right now I'm at a point in my career/life where I try to avoid traveling abroad as much as I can. I enjoy having my routine. That was my reason for working remotely in the first place. Of course, everyone has different reasons, and I am sure there are a lot of people who would enjoy such a trip.

I believe there are probably quite a few people like me who don't enjoy traveling, and "celebrating" by forcing those to travel seems unfair. Traveling for business reasons when it's a necessity to meet in person is a different story - I can understand that and I'm willing to do that. Like you said, having some in-person time can be very productive. But it sounded like the OP was looking to give a reward/gift to remote workers - to me traveling would be the opposite.

TLDR; If you want me to travel say it's part of the job to have a once-a-year meeting. That's fine. Don't say it's a "celebration" or "reward" - because to a lot of people it's not
The first part of your statement is not true. Autoland as in "press a button and go get a coffee" sure. Almost all commercial aircraft have systems that can land the aircraft themselves (with the pilot ready to take over at any point), but it is not often used in practice because:

- pilots still need to know how to land an aircraft themselves, so they may as well practice it (it's not like they are driving to work and can read Facebook)

- to prevent interference with the radio signals used for the ILS, ground aircraft are routed away from transmitters which reduces capacity of the airport when it has to be used

- the system isn't perfect, so from a safety perspective it's safer to use it as guidance rather than rely on it

Autoland is a requirement during severe weather conditions - when a pilot cannot obtain enough visual information to perform the landing themselves.
And then on top of that you have NRPNs ....

Johnny Cash's concert was in the late 60s, before the string of prison riots in the 70s which left several correction officers dead and the rest of the industry hyper-defensive (all of the riots, except one involving Cuban exiles who were going to be deported, were due to prison conditions AFAIK).

By this point, the war on drugs was in full swing and the prisons were filling up as fast as humanly possible.
Can you be more specific about casual culture being inherently toxic at scale? I ask because I prefer a casual work culture (and casual dress), because in the grand scheme of things, most work isn’t that important. We’re not saving lives, we just pushing bits around. And I doubt you care what I’m wearing if I’m saving you’re life.
"The cost to society is pretty much incalculable"

Even if we cannot put precise figures on externalities, that doesn't mean we can't improve market efficiency and societal outcomes by taxing them based on reasonable estimates.

"and who is to say your vices shouldn't be taxed over mine?"

I'm not talking about taxing vices (e.g. taxes on activities that do self-harm). I'm talking about taxing externalities.

"Did you seriously just cite a fictional book as evidence to your point?"

I didn't cite it as evidence. I used the context from the book as an example of a situation where taxes could help drive better outcomes.
The common cold is just a phrase said when you have a mild unknown respiratory infection. If you could narrow down the cause you could devise a vaccine, but you would have to find all the possible forms and then get vaccines against those also if your goal is to not get some version of the common cold.
Walker said this in [1] and I believe that this position is indefensible

At the time at the time of the book’s publication in 2017 (and today), CDC had no documents and no pages on its site that would declare a sleep loss epidemic.

As I noted in section Possible origin of the “sleeplessness epidemic” thing [2],

>Between late 2010/early 2011 and August/September 2015 [3-6], CDC had a page on its site titled “Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health Epidemic”. More than 2 years before Why We Sleep was published, the page changed the word “epidemic” to “problem”, so that its title became “Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health Problem”. … the fact that CDC itself changed the wording from “epidemic” to “problem” more than 2 years prior to the book’s publication, indicat[es] that they no longer believed in the presence of an “insufficient sleep epidemic”

Issuing a correction that would just change “WHO” to “CDC” in the next edition of the book – as Walker suggested – is deceptive. The CDC long ago (more than 4 years ago) removed the word “epidemic” from the article, and then removed the article itself.

If Walker believes that that is sufficient to state that CDC has declared a sleep loss epidemic, he might as well say that CDC has declared an epidemic of inhalation anthrax (and forget to note that it was declared in 1958 [3])

Also, Walker never explains why the source for this sleep loss epidemic claim in the book is a random National Geographic documentary.

The reason there's no cure for the common cold is that the common cold is caused by ~200 different viruses. You can vaccinate against the individual viruses, which prevents infection from that particular strain only.

There are additional complications in that many cold viruses generate only partial or temporary immunity, and the immunity wears off in a couple years. Also that coronaviruses mutate fairly quickly (though not as quickly as influenza, another illness that's caused by a family of viruses rather than a single one and generates only temporary immunity). I've heard that coronaviruses are also fairly hard to develop vaccines for because of technical reasons that I don't really understand.

But if your goal is partial, temporary immunity to protect against a circulating pandemic - similar to a flu shot - it's theoretically possible. That partial, temporary immunity is why adults get fewer colds than children do - they already have immunity to many of the cold viruses circulating within the local population.
The recommendations presume you may need to do more than just sit around.

Suppose on day four fire breaks out and you need to evacuate. Your ability to walk long distances, carry others with injuries, and think clearly and make good decisions about how to evacuate will all be impacted by a lack of food.

When I was in a mild emergency one thing the experts did that stood out to me was forcing us all to take a break and cook a warm meal. It made a significant difference to perceived energy level and judgement, even if it wasn't strictly necessary.

> If Bernie is so unpopular, why is he the only candidate (of any political party) in American history to win the popular vote in the first three primary states?

So what? Why does that statistic mean anything in a highly fragmented contest? Bernie got 26% of the vote in Iowa, about the same in New Hampshire and just shy of 50% in Nevada. So in all three states more people voted against Bernie than for him.
Ah right, if your point is that you can't just transfer to a good team when you get in I agree, but it sounded as if being friends with the right people was required. It is all up to manager discretion, if they like you for any reason (beer or skills) you are good. Skills are usually easier to work with since it can be used to ask for more headcount while nobody would give you headcount so you can hire your beer buddy (I hope...).
