> The CEO will be under tremendous pressure if he/she tries to optimize for a 1 year timeframe (for example) as opposed to quarter-by-quarter.

Its bizarre to talk to well-meaning execs (even below C-suite) at public companies and hear them overtly say this. "Well we know X and Y are sound investments for the company's success, but it's a question of finding a way to sell something that long-term without tanking our stock price."

I try not to cry market inefficiency without good evidence, but "shareholders promote good corporate governance" starts feeling pretty bizarre when the people running a company describe shareholders like corporate raiders encouraging them to destroy value for a quick payout.

> I wish boards can come up with a compensation structure for execs which optimizes for long term.

For all the talk about "when founders should get out of the way" and "what makes a good founder doesn't always make a good CEO", it's interesting to see that research still finds companies with founder-CEOs performing substantially better. Higher share prices (which might stem from overconfidence), but also better long-term financials, more R&D spending, more influential patent filings, etc.

And that doesn't necessarily mean founders are super-geniuses, exceptional managers, or even unusually attuned to their market. They get less of their salaries in cash, hold options and stocks longer, and vary their behavior less in response to compensation structure. (Also, they often hold so much stock they can't sell in full without panicking the market.)

So it really does look like we just haven't found a good way to compensate non-founder CEOs: their behavior is extremely responsive to their compensation, but nobody has found a scheme that makes them act long-term to the degree a founder would.
To OP: Please don't consider Passwordstate. It's so horrible to use, that users refuse to use it when it is offered. My company expects it to be used, but instead everyone (hundreds of in-house users) reuse the same password everywhere, and/or ignore company policy by using a personal password manager not linked to the company's internal servers.

Passwordstate pisses me off so much I can't even be bothered to go into details as to WHY it's so bad.

> Problem with exponential growth is that you can be a little off in the exponent and be totally off in the result.

Which is why the growth rate is really what matters. Which isn't immutable. It goes down if people wash their hands. It goes down if sick people stay at home.

This is also why it really matters if the rate is 150% or 130%, even if both are very bad, because the higher rate is very worse. And the rate gets lower if sick people stay home, but it gets higher if idiots panic and start hoarding masks and stealing hand sanitizer which increases the rate of infection when they aren't there for other people to use.

Panic is not just useless, it's actively harmful.

It's fair to assume that everyone will get this, and 2.5% will die.

(Edit: when I said everyone, I'm thinking of 'everyone' with regards to contagion like the normal flu that goes around. There are always outliers and people who miss it. Didn't think I had to spell that one out. Evidently I did.)

However controlling the rate of infection (coefficient of the exponent) can make the difference between hospitals able to handle the disease, versus hospitals getting completely flooded and having more die due to not enough care.

Tl;dr. You're going to get it, but you don't want everyone getting it at once.

Purely subjective. I personally see no difference in the balance, and either way, "balanced" doesn't mean correct.
In addition to other good comments here, "prices" don't exist as inherent attributes anymore. Everything is variably priced and has multiple discounts applied, so no one knows the meaningless "retail price" of what they buy. They just see what the offer is on the day they shop.

Being left out of social events is a significant reduction in my quality of life. I've got enough reasons to stay home all day without deliberately excluding myself from social events.

Organizers of these events have enough to manage without going to the effort of finding everyone who is not on facebook and contacting them. And let's stay away from "if they are real friends they will make the extra effort", as it is usually a good way to find out how few 'real friends' you have.

Interesting. I quit Wells Fargo last week to focus on my machining business. I would have stayed on if they let me work remotely - it took at most 15 minutes a day to do my c++ coding job. But, seeing as how it took 4 months to get Python3 installed, and the SSD and 128GiB memory upgrades for my desktop were apparently stolen from the “IT Workroom”, getting a laptop seemed like a bridge too far.

I felt a little bad about quitting, but WF fires tens of thousands of people at a time for no apparent reason...
Travel bans stop the health services from being overwhelmed with cases by an exponential spread within the population. The aim is not to stop infections, it is to slow the rate of infection, and there are several stages to the response so at some point tracing and containment isn't practical, but it's useful initially.

> We live in a world that has had to come up with labour unions when spirals of mistreatment and cost-cutting got out of hand

The OP story is one reason that unions in certain geographies will attempt to unionize the entire industry all at once, so that there's no competitive disadvantage for one employer against another on labor costs.

If you're organizing janitors in Miami, building owners will need to hire SOME contracting service to maintain the building but want the cheapest, still-quality one available. So if the workers do it together, it actually makes the fight with the employers easier not harder because they're less worried about losing business.

Of course, this also means the lack of union density makes it harder for any individual place to unionize.

It doesn't for many known medications. But, it's a factor for new and less well understood medications.

There is "on label" and "off label" usage of drugs. Just because this existing medication is being used in the EU, or has made its way into guidelines, does not mean that it would even make it through EU approvals. It's being used "off label" if it's used for a new condition.

I've personally been treated "off label" for a condition using a drug developed and FDA approved for a serious condition that you wouldn't immediately associate with my condition. It was weird being unable to find any substantive literature on that medication and my condition, but that's the nature of uncommon conditions, or being at the edge like we are with COVID-19.

US doctors will, based on the evidence available, make their own decision on whether to follow the treatments used by their colleagues in the EU and China. They are not going to be held up by FDA approval for off-label use, but they may find things that warrant FDA review and approval because they feel the outcome is not worth the risk. The impact on the US is trailing China and EU to some degree. This buys a little time for some very smart people to do some level of analyses of what's happening elsewhere. It'd be a little different if the early waves hit here first.
And this is one of the hundreds of things that are very, very wrong with marketing these days.
I have used Bitwarden personally for a while, coming from KeePassXC (Linux and Android), and it has been a joy to use. My company is now looking into using it both internally and as a solution for organizations and businesses we serve, mainly because it offers a self-hosted / on-premise solution and decent pricing, and the fact that it is open source.

I would never trust my passwords to a closed source project that could be ridden with insecure code and disappear or change considerably on short notice. When the source code is open, chances for survival of the project in one form or another is much higher.

I also like that they take feature requests on their community forum and that their Github repo is active and responsive to issues.
Yes, being healthy is enjoyable. Sometimes protecting ones health means not doing those things that provide superficial, temporary feelings of joy (junk food, artificial sweeteners that could lead to cancer and other health issues, smoking, etc.) that are in fact bad for our health and likely to reduce long term joy.

Implementing monitoring of key metrics is a requirement for establishing SLOs. A dashboard may not be observed constantly, and if you have an incident, those key metrics better be presented in a manner that shows realtime, and historic performance. Prometheus and Grafana are prevalent because they are robust and mature implementations. You are correct that dashboards more often than not are to showoff this capability, and remember I said that you MUST implement monitoring if you have SLOs.

Think of the Dashboard as a Cherry on the cake. There isn't much point to the Cherry, but if you bought a cake you better get a cake!

My biggest complaint for dashboarding is that it is easy to ignore some key components, such as nth percentile beyond 95 which is mostly a capacity planning target. If you go looking you will find that there are serious issues in serving your 96-99th percentiles. If you are looking for something to improve start there.
The big advantage could be finally moving the PSU out of the case, and having it as just an external power brick. This will make systems significantly lighter and smaller (and thus more portable), take heat out of the case, and improve airflow.

In addition to the arguments outlined above, it protects against some attack vectors. If the service gets hacked and the password leaked or they discover the password in some other way, they still don't have the 2FA token and so can't login.
That people love to fearmonger for views and ratings, also they want someone to blame that has absolutely nothing to do with the outbreak.

Strange, I often read/hear that from German scientists too. But I wonder: why has China succeeded in (maybe only temporarily) stopping and reversing the exponential growth? South Korea seems also to be on the path of achieving this.

Of course, there is the possibility that numbers jump again like crazy once the heavy restrictions are lifted. But I still wonder why there is no second Wuhan situation somewhere else in China.

Here in Oregon, our governor is politically on the opposite end of the spectrum from the US president. Yet the messaging from both has been nearly identical: everything is fine, carry on, wash your hands.
