Yes, the agency that bungled the testing program by telling states they had to use federal testing kits, then sending out faulty kits, then saying that the kits were fine after all, then sending out such a limited quantity of kits (200 for the entire state of California) that only the most serious cases would be tested, and now it's possible that the lab that assembled the kits as contaminated so they may be tainted after all.

Finally they gave states permission to use their own kits so now we should get some real figures for infection rates.

The same agency that tells me that all I need to do to remain safe is to wash my hands frequently, while they also say that will only reduce my risk of infection by 16 - 21%.

https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/why-handwashing.htm

Oh, and the CDC was effectively silenced by the White House, so now all communications will be tainted by politics.

So, I'm not putting too much credence in the CDC right now, other than to assume that if they say to do something, then it should be taken seriously.

So meanwhile, I'm continuing to go to work, and washing/sanitizing my hands frequently but all things considered, I'd rather stay home until the full scope of the outbreak is known. It seems that some mild over-reaction is better than under-reaction, at least until we have a good sense for how many people are infected, how quickly it's spreading, and what the USA mortality rate is (which may differ than other countries due to different standards of health care)
Not that debunked acidity nonsense again. Stop spreading medical disinformation.
Okay, think less "my home internet connection went down" and more "the build server fell over" or "I need confirmation from Bob and he's not responding on Slack." It's a learning-to-work-without-direct-supervision problem, not a technical problem.

Also since you raised the issue: keep in mind that some people simply don't have internet infrastructure at home that's prepared for this kind of use.

Think of rural DSL lines or satellite internet. (Some old, poorly maintained phone lines drop DSL packets like crazy whenever it rains. Don't ask me why.)

Or someone who has a teenager that plays Fortnite and who doesn't know how to implement traffic shaping on their home network. :-)
If true, this should be a huge scandal. People, myself included, criticized China early on for being slow to recognize the crisis. It would be tragic and embarrassing if we’ve made the same mistake here in the States.

'Customer Support' is treated as a cost-center in far too many businesses.
Good customer support can be used as a marketing tool - a differentiator to competitors.

But in the case of bugs and feature enhancements, this requires a more (..and I hate to say the words..) a more 'agile' approach.

In my experience, there is often a big gap between Support and Engineering.

If I were given a choice between delivering new features and fixing existing ones, I would always choose the latter.

Make an existing customer happier, and make future sales more viable.
https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_personal_productivity.html

"By not keeping a schedule, I mean: refuse to commit to meetings, appointments, or activities at any set time in any future day.

As a result, you can always work on whatever is most important or most interesting, at any time.

Want to spend all day writing a research report? Do it!

Want to spend all day coding? Do it!

Want to spend all day at the cafe down the street reading a book on personal productivity? Do it!

When someone emails or calls to say, "Let's meet on Tuesday at 3", the appropriate response is: "I'm not keeping a schedule for 2007, so I can't commit to that, but give me a call on Tuesday at 2:45 and if I'm available, I'll meet with you."

Or, if it's important, say, "You know what, let's meet right now."

Clearly this only works if you can get away with it. If you have a structured job, a structured job environment, or you're a CEO, it will be hard to pull off.

But if you can do it, it's really liberating, and will lead to far higher productivity than almost any other tactic you can try.

This idea comes from a wonderful book called A Perfect Mess, which explains how not keeping a schedule has been key to Arnold Schwarzenegger's success as a movie star, politician, and businessman over the last 20 years."

> A diverse team will have a greater mix of perspectives, which may make it more effective even if its 'culture fit' score is lower.

Maybe this isn't a typical view of 'culture fit' but I would think of it more in terms of whether a candidate is reasonable, pleasant, friendly, etc. (matching the extent of those traits between the candidate and the company average -- maybe a company of argumentative folks wants to continue along that path instead). Such matching would, I think, have little impact on diversity of perspectives, neutrality regarding protected classes, etc.

I’m assuming English is a second language for you, and I will piece together the author’s assumptions for you as best I can. Please forgive incorrect assumptions.

It had been assumed that Homer’s “writings” were indeed written down by whoever was Homer. Whether Homer was one person, or a collection of writers collectively named Homer, is the subject of debate. But it has been widely assumed that it was initially written down, and not passed orally, because no one can remember that much. Turns out...

So one dude makes recordings of more modern oral traditions, and concludes that Homeric writings very well could have been initially oral. And then the dude dies young and under mysterious circumstances.

As personal commentary, the argument against passing the story orally forgets that just about all Buddhist writings started out as oral and not written (as one example).

I hope that is helpful for you.

What people (including here) tend to whitewash with nuclear is the waste. The radioactive waste that takes centuries or millenia to neutralize. Yes, it's kept in concrete bunkers underground and stuff, but no one can guarantee structural integrity of those silos over centuries. An earthquake might hit. A strain of concrete-digesting bacteria might eat through the walls. A war might break out, or simply terrorists. Ultimately, nuclear power contains an inherent and impossible to calculate, but quite real, environmental risk. And it's directed not at us, but at future generations who might have to deal with the cancer and toxicity caused by today's nuclear power. So no, I'm sorry, but nuclear fission is not clean.
Thank you for sharing this. As a mostly lurker on HN, I appreciate such posts and reviews since they're helpful. That someone has done comparisons on the music management apps and listed those makes life easier for others. I had been disappointed with the more recent releases of iTunes, but the replacements in Catalina, from whatever I've read about them, seem far worse.
That seems to assume a 50% split between the two day types. I'm the same as pmiller2, and I know my unproductive days at home far outnumber by highly productive days. Furthermore I find my commute beneficial as I'm able to swap from "home head" to "work head" mode much easier than, say, going out for a walk - my local area keeps my "home head" on.
The existence of this box, the descriptions of his treatment... He's not the first person to undergo this and he won't be the last. Setting aside Assange, is there ever a time when this treatment is not crippling and dehumanizing?

Unless the engineer in question isn't responding to emails, then your company can use the same strategy with GPLv3 code as they would with any propriety code: Pay for a license.

Or does your company not use any propriety tools at all? (It's alright if they don't; being 100% reliant on permissive open-source licenses is a nice achievement in-and-of-itself).
Wouldn't running a private instance be the same as directly queryint google? Like, it queries through the same IP you use, and can build a profile just using that.

Or because the data doesn’t bear out the panic. South Korean CFR is 0.2% and over 55% asymptomatic means it may be less fatal than the H1N1 influenza A virus.

When you ask for another path out, do you mean in programming or another field?

There's always lots of jobs in app development, back end, game development, AI/ML, and so on. You still have a baseline of usable skills, mainly debugging and knowing why spaghetti code is bad.

It also sounds like you've been in some bad companies with poor mentoring. You might have to move around a bit, work with a better culture, but they uh, don't hire people who aren't brilliant. It's a circular problem, but moving might help. Code Review Stack Exchange and Programmers SE are good for pointing out otherwise obvious things you have never picked up.
It gives you some overhead on security side if you're concerned about it since you will need to filter incoming traffic once you device network interface becomes routable from internet.
On a societal level, you want to slow it down. A lot of deaths in Wuhan were caused by medical system overload. A small percentage of infected died even after getting invasive breathing assistance, etc. But many others didn't get a hospital bed at all and presumably died with milder conditions.

There's a big difference in the fatality rate inside and outside Wuhan, and that difference is from an overloaded system. ~5% in Wuhan versus <1% in the rest of China.*

water-based creation myths are quite common, there is some classification of creation myths that divides them in 4 great groups (ex-nihilo, water based, cosmic eggs, dismembered god).

The most famous example would be the Enuma Elish, where the world comes from the meeting of salt water and fresh water.

From my experience with trying to contribute to the Hebrew version, try contributing focusing on expanding an existing article and watch what happens. In my case there was a very strong push back even against adding links that expand on issues mentioned which imho helped to balance an obvious slant. I gave up after a while. At university of course you’re warned not to use Wikipedia, it’s not acceptable as a reference and many examples are presented of experts in their field who contributed articles, which were then rewritten to the point where there was nothing left, other than the revised version of the moderators and the small mafia that runs the Israeli Wikipedia. There’s also the examples of the Croatian version which was taken over by neonazis and even the ministry of education had to publish a warning.
> Sorry but, how is Have I Been Pwned anything but a text search of data that is already publicly available?

To be fair, google is also a (very glorified) text search of publicly available data when you get right down to it. Value is a combination of how useful you are to other people and how popular you are with other people, not how technically complicated you are. HIBP is both useful and popular - hence its valuable.

The reason that trust is important could be to do with verifying breaches.

In some of his articles discussing various breaches, he mentions reaching out to selected (potential) victims to verify some of the details.

Doing that does require a fair amount of trust by various victims of the people asking to verify.

If I was randomly contacted to verify some details in a breach, I'd be skeptical it was a phishing scheme.

If I was randomly contacted by Troy Hunt / HIBP - then I'd look at it much more seriously.
I take an opposite tack, so I've enabled tagging approval and every time someone tags me, I remove it.
