The flip side is that many kinds of business activity will drop. For instance, airlines will be consuming less computing resources. Some elite universities will be doing remote education, but in the end they will be doing less education.

Cloud providers also let out quite a lot of capacity at low prices on the spot market. I have trained neural networks at deep discounts and if capacity becomes tight for systems that are guaranteed to run, those low prices will go away.

I don't know about others, but AWS has support centers in many different places, if the epidemic hits different places at different times, they will always have support staff somewhere who are OK.

If anything is going to break it is going to be the access networks of residential service providers.

Re-read the comment. GP is not saying to make an interpreter for C++, they are saying that there should be no interpreter. If the language is compiled there's no need for one. C++ can obviously be insecure, but the scale of a JS interpreter + the fact that it's meant for executing arbitrary code leads to a huge security flaw that isn't present in just a normal C++ app.
If those sites don't work without JavaScript I'd say they do in fact have readability problems.
Is it moral to exceed the speed limit? We do lots of things that increase public risk and return private gain. How much different is this one?

It’s only noisy if you don’t know what you’re looking at. Watch a professional poker game sometime and you’ll see the lengths people go to avoid non-verbally communicating the strength of their hand. Table talk is completely casual up until someone is involved in a monster hand and suddenly they go catatonic.

Of course there’s still noise. Just like in text. Professional writers struggle just as hard to get their word choice and phrasing -just so-.

I mean while this is a flippant response, this does highlight something that doesn't really exist at the moment: second order derivative lists.

You make a list and then I prioritise and filter your list.

Making a list of your top 100 books implicitly rejects all other books. Me taking your list of 100 books and rejecting a load with justification gives a lot more information about what I value in the books and, moreover, which of your values I disagree with.

We kind of have this with comment trees but it will often be the case that someone publishes a list (e.g. all of the episodes of Black Mirror in order of preference or all Studio Ghibli films in order of preference) and then the comments will take issue with the inclusion of certain items, exclusion of certain items or the placement of certain items. What you rarely get is the commentator publishing their own version of the list and what you never get is the commentator creating a completely derivative list.

Yeah, OK. But here's what happens if a company gets publicly caught. "At ConCo we take ethics seriously. The statements by the employees in question are not in line with ConCo's policies and practices. Those employees will be burned alive, then put on a personal improvement plan, and then their heads will be displayed on pikes at their respective places of employment."
My reading of melling was to actually infect young and healthy people under controlled circumstances such that herd immunity builds.

No. These are words and phrases that hold literal meanings. They are used by advertisers to deceive people. There are/is no fine print in broadcast or digital ads.

I'm more bothered that it's ostensibly a review of a visual exhibit without any visuals. Without flying to New York I don't have any idea what this is describing. And of course the Guggenheim's video producers are so full of themselves that you can't really get an honest take on the exhibit from the intro video on their website either.
From experience, large/old software companies have their own rules what C++ is acceptable. A developer will take some time to learn that, but will then be able to blend in. Again, saying someone cannot write C++ after 10 years experience is nonsense.

Ha, imagine if some idiots designed a whole country so that its correct functioning depended upon trying to decipher the meaning of symbols which lack semantic meaning decades or even centuries later.

Oh wait, that's the United States of America. What does constitute a "well regulated militia" and how exactly did those symbols come to mean people you wouldn't trust with a sharp stick are allowed semi-automatic hand guns?

Symbols mean whatever people want them to mean, that's the extent to which Humpty is right when he lectures Alice. Whether it's an Eggplant emoji or "Ugandan discussions" the symbol is not the meaning of the symbol.
The concept of “completely randomizing” something isn’t really well-defined, it’s more of a casual phrase that people use without thinking about it. If you have a constant timeout with random jitter added to it, you’ve randomized it. It is now random.

If you think about it, a “perfectly random” die roll on an ordinary die will never be 0. So, whether a value is random has no relationship with whether that value can be 0.

>> Unless Chinese officials are still lying about their cases

Is/was there a whole lot of evidence of this? Was it a local problem in some parts of China? Or was it unfounded? It seems to me there's been just as much of this going on in the west + we're doing a much worse job of handling the epidemic than China has done. I don't have any personal opinion on China generally but the amount of China bashing + hypocrisy in the last few weeks has been astonishing. Supposedly they are even at the point where they are shipping supplies they no longer need to Italy (masks + other equipment) and considering sending people to help too.
In my part of the US, nobody's stocking up on toilet paper. In fact, nobody appears to be panic-buying anything at all except for isopropyl alcohol, which I discovered when I needed to get some for a project. There isn't a bottle of IPA of any strength to be found.
And, for as much as they are charging for foldables, this setup seems like it will be much more resilient than the flexible plastic screens used elsewhere.

> One person at a company with a compelling blog noted that a downside of having only one approver and/or one primary approver is that if that person is busy, it can takes weeks to get posts approved.

Heap CTO here. I'm pretty sure this quote is about me! Or if it's not, it would be equally true about me. This is why we rolled out the "buddy" system described in this post. That way 90% of the iteration can be between the engineer writing the post and someone else who will be a lot more available than I am. This matters a lot if a post requires three or four round trips to really get it right. Plus, in a lot of cases, that other person is better at technical storytelling than I am to begin with.

I'd also note that this post and HN discussion focus a lot on reducing friction, as if having a really good blog is the state of nature. In my experience, this has not been true. A good blog won't just happen if you get out of the way.

Someone senior at the company needs to actively prioritize the engineering blog. You also need eng leadership that respects that writing posts is real work and is willing to have engineers spend time on-the-job working on them. At Heap, we do this down to the level of taking this into account in sprint planning. Also, a lot of the good ideas for posts come from working with engineers to find the kernel of a story in something they're working on. This is an active process, not something spontaneous that you just have to permit to happen.

We also benefit from having a lot of legitimately interesting technical work to talk about. This is more true at some companies than others, and is a big multiplier on how compelling you can make your blog. The success of a blog post is pretty non-linear – either it gets wide readership or not much at all. Having something interesting to talk about is pretty important, and is hard to manufacture.

> this would have the effect of making APIs copyrightable

No, only if there has been some copying of substantial portions of copyrighted works. Talking about analogies is irrelevant if you're unfamiliar with the legal framework that determines the suitability of the analogies. For example, one could claim that copyrighting code is "just like" copyrighting algorithms, yet it is established that code is copyrighted (but not patentable) and algorithms are not copyrightable (but are patentable), and the legal system is perfectly fine with that. Why? Because there are important distinctions here, and the question is not whether things are "the same" in the eyes of developers, but whether they're the same in the eyes of IP law. If you don't understand the legal distinction between code and algorithm, then you're missing the most essential background material.

As to the rest of your arguments, the relevant ones are the subject of this case. I suggest you read the actual arguments; they're quite interesting.

If you are part of a high mortality rate demographic, you are better to get it first in your demographic to have a better access to resources (or very late when the resources are back under control). The issue is not really the virus per se, but its effect on the healthcare systems. That is something health systems work with _every year_ with flu season, nothing new under the sun. What's different is _nobody_ has immunity to this virus, and a lot of people initially dismissed the virus, or are still dismissing the risks.

>But 40k is still unaffordable for a non small amount of people.

The average price of a new car in the US is $37k which gives Tesla access to half the new car market. Used car buyers are meaningless in the metrics as they make car companies no money. Tesla is far far from saturating that part of the market so there's little incentive for them to move to cheaper cars (and dilute the brand in the process). In fact, it's probably better economically for Tesla to let other brands make cheaper electrics, annoy customers due to shortcomings and then swoop in with a superior product down the line (having learned from the mistakes of other companies).
