With the limited amount of testing that's been done so far, I don't know that anyone can really provide a reasonable estimate of risk.

That fact chart seems to be out of date:

The risk of getting COVID-19 in the U.S. is currently low

Some people who have traveled to places where many people have gotten sick with COVID-19 may be monitored by health officials to protect their health and the health of other people in the community.

Community spread has now been confirmed in a number of places across the USA.

That doesn't mean anyone needs to panic, but continue taking reasonable precautions and if companies can let their workers work from home without excessive impact, it seems that doing so is a reasonable precaution.
Procore is by far the best construction project management software I’ve used. All of the other ones have interface quirks, Gradebeam is particularly bad in this regard. I hope Procore succeeds, I enjoy using it as a subcontractor on a GC’s subscription.

Well... your perspective is valid but not comprehensive. On the lawn of the building are two rather industrial sized generators. When the power goes out, they go on and they keep going. I don't work at a startup. Nor do I work at 3M. There's a lot of space in between. That space is where a lot of the world works. YMMV.
I'm very sorry to hear about your partner's cancer, and I can't imagine what you've been through.

That being said I think you're making a huge unfounded leap in interpreting their responses. What you're describing sounds like me on a customer support call when presented with evidence that my diagnosis of a software issue was wrong. My mind races, goes back to first principles (small words), I sit up and dial up my professionalism. I also can't help but wonder as to the reliability of the customer. I'm the expert in my software! Who's more likely to be wrong?

It's a tough situation in software, I literally cannot imagine what it's like when someone's life is on the line.

Best wishes, and I hope you get the best medical care possible.
Slowing down its spread matters.

A company working remotely while its workers eventually contract the virus piecemeal on a presumably much slower and staggered schedule is far better than having your entire offices out sick wholesale for weeks.

Not to mention it's better for society and our health system in general to slow the spread.

He’s said what matters. I’m adjacent to the field and agree. The main issue is that getting to 5 nines of reliability in SDC is extremely challenging AND it isn’t good enough. There are infinite random issues to deal with from a simulation/modeling perspective (construction, weather, rain/snow/mud/dust weirdly shaped vehicles, random Uber eats cars stopping in the middle of the street etc) then you also have issues with vehicle and sensor maintenance, maintaining enough bandwidth/compute to support a larger network of SDCs, change management in the vehicles that sees challenges w scale, HD map issues etc. All of these problems are solveable but there are a lot of them.

Pretty unsurprising that the Koch brothers’ pet “think tank” would want to fight back against anything questioning extreme inequality and concentration of power.

Before you examine something published by Cato, you can predict its position, and will rarely if ever be surprised by what you read there. The data will be cherry picked or massaged and the argument will be contorted to support the pre-chosen position favorable to the donors funding it.

Cato generally opposes all kinds of taxes and regulations, supports privatization of public institutions and services, opposes a public safety net, opposes campaign finance reform, disputes or downplays global climate change, etc.
I've ran a remote-only company for 8 years and generally struggled to find employees who are suitable working remote. Especially junior employees I've had no luck. The best remote employees I've found are those who tend to be entrepreneurial in nature and usually more senior. They seem to possess the necessary self-discipline and taking ownership of getting work accomplished despite nobody directly keeping an eye on them.

Honestly, at some point, we have to regulate this bullshit.

This concept that these private companies feel they can use whatever means they can, to selectively discriminate against people, for whatever they want, has gone too far.

These large tech companies are failing in their social contract. Their purpose is to serve the people, the citizens that makes their success possible, but instead, they feel it is their right to do whatever they want, just because they claim to be a private company.

If these tech companies don’t self regulate themselves, then we need to force their hand, and vote in politicians that will force a policy change down their throats.
It's not clear from your comment whether or not you're familiar with the book Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil, but you echo many of its main arguments about these types of systems. I can recommend the book if you haven't read it.

Over a third (39%) of KPMG's revenue comes from management consulting services. KPMG has an entire arm of the company that is classified as "Advisory" (aka consulting), of which M&A is a big part of, and it is completely separated from the accounting/audit arms.

All of the Big 4 "accounting firms" actually also house the largest consulting companies in the world, but somehow their old reputation of being "primarily an accountant / auditor" keeps sticking.

Hopefully this doesn't sound overly critical, but, these sound like cultural issues. I say that only because it was ingrained in me that if what you're doing is not directly making/leading to net positive money for the company, there is no excuse that can mitigate that fact and they will fire you or lay you off quickly (as I saw happen to a few good engineers at a couple companies).

(in case this is helpful for anyone else) W.r.t.,

- local issues stopping work: I've done everything in my power to make sure nothing can affect this; to the point of buying extra batteries for my laptop, buying a hotspot in case internet goes down, making sure that I have a go bag always ready in case the area I'm working in does not have the infrastructure I need (electricity/internet/health hazards), and duplicating my equipment at my parent's place in case I need to work from there.

- relaying information to the manager: I was taught that keeping my manager happy is nearly equal in importance to making the company money; as long as they're the type to want to be in frequent contact (I've had one that didn't seem to want that), I basically only give them good news (as quickly as I can) or substantial roadblocks that will take me an absurd amount of time to clear on my own.

- avoiding regular communication: I can't make the company money if I'm not functioning well as a team member.

- discipline: Yeah this one was hard because it's not immediately apparent how much a distraction can eat away at your day or how those distractions add up. I seem to learn new ways every week to keep distractions at bay; e.g. leaving my phone "hidden" in a relatively inaccessible place in another room, disabling facebook, blocking my access to news sites, and making sure any cleaning is done in my off hours.
For the viewers, 'mixed reception' is more appropriate. Some of us will agree with reviewer Roger Ebert "The cost controversy aside, Waterworld is a decent futuristic action picture with some great sets, some intriguing ideas, and a few images that will stay with me".
Well yeah, but you have to admit that a system that converts greed to something approximating justice is not the worst idea.
yes, the risk is low, and proactive action taken like this will help keep it low. The risk is low until it isn't - and suspending travel while suggesting vulnerable populations avoid coming in to work will help keep the risk as low as possible for as long as possible.

If you read ahead on the CDC summary page (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html), you can see that they say that "It’s likely that at some point, widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States will occur."

Ask HN: How do I escape webdev?
I'm a self-taught spaghetti coder webdev with thirteen years of beginner experience; mostly learning by googling how to do everything as I built web apps for small businesses or wired up forms and APIs through agencies. It worked for a long time, and yeah I'm probably that guy who wrote that stinky codebase you're dealing with. I'm not particularly proud of that.

Anyway, my "skills" (heh) seem to be mostly irrelevant now. I hated frontend ever since the responsive era, but I got by sticking to less design intensive stuff. These days the web is evolving very rapidly and I've kept up sorta, but I'm not passionate about this field, I'm getting older and there's lots of competition now and I'm unemployed. I basically want to get as far away from Node and React and CSS as possible. What's a good path out?
Like mashing up Sophos and McAfee? Can you imagine the mess?
What industry do you work in, out of interest? If it's something driven by sales/physical interaction it seems that even if everyone worked just as hard from home, revenue woud still take a hit.
Yeah, so it's nothing but branding. There is nothing about this site that requires trust, since the data is already available. HIBP got popular on Twitter / the internet and is now a well known name in cyber.
Or God.
It might be ground zero. No one been testing for it, those under 50 seem to exhibit symptoms so mild they aren’t even worth going to the doctor for, most people go to the doctor only as a last resort because of deductibles, and healthcare professionals have likely passed it off as the flu. Hundreds to thousands die from the flu every week. They don’t test them all. If even 1% are misdiagnosed the infection could be far more widespread than realized.

Even if the fatality rate is 2%, that means the estimated number of infections in Washington is 100+. For every person who dies you can figure 50-200 infections.

With the flu, we model and estimate infections. With the coronavirus we seem to only be counting confirmed infections. This change in methodology will make the total infections look smaller and the fatality rate (possibly) arbitrarily higher as a result.

Extreme poverty is not a problem of stagnation of the economy, it's a problem of extreme inequality. Growth is but a workaround to this.
This is how the books of the Odyssey are structured:

TROY

1. Kikones (innocent city is ambushed)

2. Lotus Eaters (temptation, delay)

3. Cyclops (monster)

4. Aeolus (greedy crew delays journey)

5. Laestrygonians (monster)

6. Circe (temptation)

7. HADES

8. Sirens (temptation)

9. Scylla (monster)

10. Cattle/Sun (greedy crew delays journey)

11. Charybdis (monster)

12. Calypso (temptation, delay)

13. Phaecia (innocent city is ambushed)

----

ITHACA

The episodes make a perfect reflection across the Hades episode; Circe and Sirens are both forms of temptation, Scylla and Laestrygonians are both monsters, etc. Also notice the smaller reflections inside of this large one: Scylla and Charybdis are similar monsters in the same way that the Cyclops is similar to the Laestrygonians.

It's perhaps easier to remember a number like 12140904121 than it is to remember a series of random digits.

Where does those numbers come from? And for the record, my net worth is nowhere near $100k!

How do you know that? How large does the pie needs to be and for how long should we wait for it to grow?
I often work from home with kids. Occasionally without being locked away in my office. You adapt. Eventually, interruptions don’t break flow as easily or severely. I imagine some people would adapt more quickly and/or thoroughly than others. People are complex and the trade-offs are too.

I believe I am well-liked at work and things are going smoothly. That said, if I were required to come into the office I would probably quit.

We’re nowhere near a command economy. For that to happen the holders of 99% of the wealth would have to be coordinating (or be the same person/org). The wealthy compete and disagree all of the time. The most valuable companies in the world still got there by catering to the middle class and poor.
If you're in GCP, then you can use their Identity Aware Proxy to achieve most of this. (https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs)

IAP supports HTTP and TCP connections, so you can put it in front of your website (say an internal admin webapp), or use it to tunnel SSH onto a machine that doesn't have a public IP, using your IAM roles.

If you're running Kubernetes in GKE, you can also wire IAP up to an Ingress, to protect any TCP/HTTP services you have in your k8s cluster. This one is a bit tricky to configure, but is very nice once you have it up and running.
>There's no way to offer the power of a $1,000 GPU without your own $1,000 GPU

I think the whole idea of economics at scale (and much of cloud computing) is predicated on the idea that users want to use that $1,000 GPU without having to pay $1,000 to own it, and that companies can sell access to many users per $1,000 GPU to recoup the costs of that GPU, both over time (as the initial cost gets amortized over recurring subscription/usage revenues) and horizontally (selling access to many users who timeshare that GPU, maximizing its use compared to owning one you'd only use N hours per day).

Scale that up to thousands of GPUs making a profit from hundreds of thousands of users each accessing those resources at a cost cheaper than what it'd take for them to purchase those resources for themselves and you've got the magic of the "cloud".

tl;dr Users can pay <$1,000 for access to a $1,000 GPU and companies can afford to do so because the number of users multiplied by what they're paying exceeds the cost and upkeep of that GPU. Everyone* wins.

Leniva Anti Aging Cream
Despite whether you've taken unprecedented idea of your skin, there's an entire host of ecological sections that can age our skin, paying little notification to our skincare affinities. As an issue of first hugeness, our skin usually loses collagen as we age. That is one of the maddens that makes our skin look compelling and full. Similarly, free radicals, sun, wind, dust, and unmistakable harms discernible all around can make your skin look dull and dry. Regardless, can Leniva Skin Care help to take everything back? Could this cream be the "rewind" your face needs? Snap any picture on this page and you can organize our most venerated enemy of maturing cream for yourself! Regardless, show smart since stock is flying out of there.

Back end Python web development is a joy these days.
As a counterpoint, there was a study done on call centre employees at Ctrip (big Chinese travel company) that showed a significant increase in productivity: https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/raise-productivity-let.... "Employees working from home completed 13.5 per cent more calls than staff in the office — meaning Ctrip got almost an extra workday a week out of them." So “normal office workers” can potentially benefit from WFH too, not just tech workers.
Why not just fuck your demons and learn modern web dev?
I generally agree with the beginning and the end but the middle is a mess.

Cancer may feel like a sentient adversary at times, but it’s just genetic instability (volatility?) combined with suppressed apoptosis, self-sustaining growth/replication signaling, immune evasion and angiogenesis to sustain large populations.

This results in an evolutionarily supercharged population of non-functional cells that out-compete normal cells until a major system is disrupted. The nature of a specific cancer cell is going to be informed by the primary source, so while they frequently share characteristics they aren’t the same and don’t generally respond to the same treatments. Saying that eating fruit and elevating blood pH is going to make them all go away is pretty absurd...it didn’t work out for Steve Jobs. Even if the pH thing was generally true, the tumor microenvironment would quickly adapt to foster a locally acidic pH.

IMHO an assisted human immune system will be the ultimate answer to cancer.

I do agree that biopsies of encapsulated tumors are a terrible idea. But once the cat is out of the proverbial bag in stage III/IV think they are useful.

Doesn't housing primarily only need to be a better "investment" than renting, not vs other assets?

Housing-as-investment seems to come in two forms, but I don't think either needs unsustainable growth?

1) you'll have at least one asset going into retirement, or

2) you're going to borrow against the first one to buy another, rent it out, etc, which doesn't need a ton of appreciation in value as you start getting the cumulative income streams

Consider that in many parts of the country housing is still a "good investment" but you don't have coastal-California-level unaffordability.

Housing prices in the most desirable cities are a result of extremely heightened inequality. However, ownership is a path to security and insulation from the whims of the super-wealthy, so undercutting that doesn't seem like a great anti-inequality strategy.

Ad hom. If you think this particular paper is invalid and/or cherry-picks points, then refute it specifically. It’s not novel to point out that the Cato institute leans free market.
He seems to suggest not just getting rid of them, rather letting them know where they stand in the hope they move on or take it upon themselves to improve.

> You've got a bad take on it. It's letting the bottom 10% know where they are and then giving them a chance to move on. About 70% (of the bottom 10%) leave on their own. Who wants to be on the bottom once they know it? You don't fire them. That's being mean.

Though of course firing is always an option especially in the USA.

From that article the key point I found was that he would rather expend company resources nurturing top performers instead of salvaging the bottom performers. He believes it's a much better investment.

There aren't really many failures of my home office that can't be solved with a 10 minute drive to Starbucks or my local library. Except a regional power failure or a disaster like an earthquake, but the office building would be struck by the same failure.

But when 100 people at the office lose internet and are sent home, they can't all converge on Starbucks across the street.
And what’s the point of all this effort?

Tilting packages doesn’t seem particularly fun or lucrative. It’s not even a particularly effective form of sabotage: maybe you’ll increase the damaged-in-shipment claims by a bit, but maybe not.

If you’re already forging and breaking into wear houses, surely you could find something more enjoyable, profitable, or vicious to do than provide post-hoc cover to a rough shipper.
