Then politely correct him with that he probably meant subpoena. Your previous comment did not mention the word "subpoena" anywhere.

Btw, in my language there is no distinction between warrant and subpoena, both are just court orders.
This tired cliché is annoying enough when people use it in situation where it arguably has some explanatory power—a complaint about FB’s customer service, say.

It adds absolutely nothing to this discussion. Facebook has an interest in retaining users that is indistinguishable here from an interest to retain customers.

I struggle to come up with reasons that motivate the incessant regurgitation of memes such as this in online discussions. Sure, I chuckled the first time I saw it because it was novel and somewhat contrarian. But after the hundredth time it feels more like bad ML picking up on the wrong keywords.
In a certain sense Google Reader killed a lot of RSS feeds and users because it was an excellent passive content distribution platform which hurts the ad revenue stream f Google. Google requires maximal active engagement of people. If people start getting stuff news etc passively why would people go to the default search engine?
The deaths tend to be from secondary effects, not covid-19 directly, i.e. the exacerbating pre-existing conditions such as lung problems or just being old or otherwise infirm. Early detection makes catching and managing those complications easier so the patient has a better chance of riding out covid-19 itself.
What CRM is currently most popular among YC companies?
An interesting question was raised in our slack chat. I would also like to know the answer to it.

"Hi guys! I have one question, which CRM is currently most popular among YC companies? or is there any YC company that provides CRM which is really cool?"

IMO, this virus isn't as deadly as that. It was reasonable for China to implement such measures because 1) at the time they didn't know how bad it was and 2) their people are actually quite compliant with what their government asks them.

But now, we know this virus isn't ebola's death rate combined with measle's R0. Large scale quarantine like in China is probably overkill and quite risky if your population isn't as docile as populations in authoritarians regimes.

Closing schools, cancelling mass events and asking people to work from home if they can is a more measured approach. Even without that, the apocalypse isn't coming anytime soon.

I was with you for the first half, until the demo of the command completion with clickable dropdown options and thought it looked just like the nested menus you're trying to kill. The difference is a slightly less cluttered interface, but for someone who knows what they're looking at is a menu all that different than selecting a command that gives a subset of followup commands on a single line?

Suppose you have 50 unseen cards, and you have it set to show you 5 new cards every day, and energy for about 10 reviews.

Then on day 1 it will want to show you cards 1-5; day two it will show you 1-5 again and also 6-10; day three it will show you 6-10 again and also 7-15 (to simplify somewhat). So you're having some cards you know and some that are new.

If you have 50 cards you've forgotten, then on day 1 it will show you 1-10; on day 2 it will show you 11-20; day 3 it will show you 21-30, and so on -- all completely new. That makes it far more of a grind.

Yes, people here aren't that eager to make sacrifices for the greater good. Unless it's other people doing the sacrificing.
It's like this:

SaaS companies generally add extraordinary value to the software that they commercialize, both for the customer and for the software itself.

You are simply mistaken regarding the cost difference between SaaS cost and having to hire an expert in an open source package (I'm simplifying for the conversation). It's not just a question of instance sizing and data transfer, or even how much it costs to pay those humans to provide support. The real cost is in terms of liability and service level. Most corporations quite simply won't take on the risk of using "raw" open source because if something goes wrong, they need someone to blame. The alternative in a real company would be to use the expensive, generic proprietary solution. They are happy to provide an SLA for $$$. Meanwhile, SaaS companies are frequently started by the core developers of open source projects, and the attention and reputation of having a company exist to promote your project tends to create a virtuous cycle of new users, training materials and PRs. It quite literally raises the tide for all boats.

I don't have any beef with the specific act of complaining about prices in general. People are indeed free to not appreciate all sorts of things. However, much like the rise of conscious consumerism, good managers and good companies - the sort of people and places you want to work for when given a choice - increasingly understand that you have to reinvest back into the infrastructure that makes our lifestyle possible.

So yeah, go ahead and install all of the locally hosted solutions you want, and feel as superior as you can, until the moment where you realize that it's utterly irresponsible for key tech talent to spend time in a growth stage startup applying patches to things in the middle of the night. If you don't figure it out, your board of directors will replace you with someone wiser.
The thing I don't get about trunk-based development is: if everybody always pushes straight to master, how do you do code review? Or don't you do code review in TBD?

Rumors of a few young people discharged after they have recovered and testing negative have later died with the virus coming back. I agree we have too many stories with even stories of 2 different strains one being deadlier than the other and people being infected by both at the same time. Actual mortality rate we will find out after 1-2 years only even that only if they have a test where can check if a healthy person ever contracted the infection in the past then test a few thousand people randomly. Btw China numbers show that people either survived or died in the third or fourth week after their symptoms got worse in 14-20 days after infection. So Korean mortality rate might even go up as it is still too early to tell .
No, that's not the case. The user only gets a prompt if the app requests permissions. The user doesn't get a prompt if all the app does is check for authorisation – the state is returned to the app as UNAuthorizationStatus.notDetermined without showing a prompt.

If an app prompts the user for permission to send notifications as soon as it starts up, then it's the app's fault. It's been known to be bad practice (and counter-productive) for many years.

An odd equivalent to make as I don't see the push to go cashless advertised as a similar public health benefit to cycling. There is data to suggest that segregating cyclists from traffic, if done properly, can reduce serious collision by 70% and deaths by 30%. Sometimes when somebody says something is good for you, it actually is.
that is not really an answer.

regarding the video streaming: meh, i can do X forwarding out of the box with just ssh, mostly out of the box, no other software required.
On the other hand basically no one pays for a phone landline anymore so I guess the cost is about equal to what it used to be?

The Snowden drop was in 2013.

A functioning implementation goes a long way toward herding cats and building positive momentum. Amongst hackers, working code trumps a lot of objections; moreso if it is simply opportunistic and doesn't break anything for old clients, and can be disabled by the fearful pedants.

It's also a great starting point for other practical objections: with a working prototype, you can always counter "but what about edge case $x, huh smart guy?!" with a "well, here's a small patch to address $x, it's in the PR now", which is a great way to achieve forward progress.

One thing that stood out to me:

> when I entered the team...I had no real electrical engineering skills to speak of whatsoever and I didn’t even know how to boot up Windows 3.1, let alone how to write any programs...I got the chance to learn how to program computers thanks to a training program that the company ran.

I don't know if that's a function of the 90s, or of Japanese companies, but I almost never hear of companies nowadays taking in completely unskilled employees and training them up.

I also found it quite amusing that the engineer went through all that effort to emulate the PSX sound chip in software, only to have the decision reversed and the hardware chip included in the PS2.

Big data could yield big discoveries in archaeology, Brown scholar says
Doing something once does not, contrary to popular (on the internet) theory, create an obligation to do so perpetually and in all situation. That’s the whole point of Section 230 of the DMCA, for example.

Judging by this thread, this faulty logic has been embraced wholeheartedly, and it leads to the strange position that is actually immoral, apparently, to make any judgement calls in the cause of your everyday life or business. When you are asked to work for a scammer, you are supposed to throw up your hands, say “who am I to judge”, and take their money.

Courts are, apparently, the only unfailing entities that can tell right from wrong. Even when something is universally agreed to be wrong, you are supposed to ignore it lest you feel tempted or required to then make decisions in more nuanced cases.

It’s a rather convoluted scheme to abdicate all moral responsibility.
There are real problems, too. One day Swedbank had an outage on their payment systems for more than 24 hours, and this is a bank that has a significant part of the country as customers (I'm just guessing, but it's above 10% for sure).

People couldn't pay for anything, couldn't buy train tickets (all digital). The outage was so big that the train companies had to let commuters go without tickets, so at least those people got to work.
It's Friday, it's 4pm, I'm about to wind down for the weekend.

In London the biggest private hire cab firm that isn't Uber is Addison Lee. They sometimes send out a notification along the lines of "It's the weekend, enjoy it with us: £5 off your next 4 trips". Perfect. In the past I've changed my plans around that sort of advertising.

In an email, I'd miss it. It's timely, context aware advertising from a brand I'm happy to use and hear from, particularly in that moment.

The key here is that I can opt out of them, not that they appear everywhere no matter what: I can tell companies if I want to hear more from them in this manner.

By design, contact information is registered along with domains. One function of this is to allow people to report abuse of that domain to a webmaster, and ultimately to pursue action against the registrant if abuse continues. By allowing people to frustrate this resolution process Namecheap are serialising the abuse process through themselves, as they are now the only party with that formerly public information. So yes, I do think it would be appropriate in this case to extend the expense of policing domain abuse to Namecheap and other registrars who provide WHOIS privacy

My theory on the coronavirus. I've managed to convince myself to have moderate levels of confidence in it; please tear it apart.

1) The Diamond Princess is our best source of data. Every person who got infected on it was identified (~700), and those who were infected got the best medical care possible. This led to a ~1% mortality rate (6/700) and a ~5% ventilator support rate (35/700). 6/700 is subject to significant error in both directions, but let's go with it.

2) Their average age was in the upper 40s, so assuming younger people don't suffer the most serious ill effects from it, a guess for the general population might be a 0.5% base mortality rate and 2.5% ventilator support. This is a rough order of magnitude estimate: obviously expected mortality should be adjusted for actual age distributions.

3) South Korea's mortality rate is 0.6%. Cases outside of Wuhan but within China have a reported mortality rate of 0.4%. Singapore (at ~100 cases) is 0%. These are all consistent with the estimated mortality rate I extrapolated from the DP.

4) All of the areas mentioned in 3) have very aggressive testing protocols. No evidence has come up suggesting widespread infection among the broader community. This includes China randomly sampling some areas and not finding meaningful unknown pockets of infection.

5) But what about Wuhan? It has a much higher mortality rate (>3%). The reports on the ground suggested that it was the medical system being overwhelmed that drove the mortality through the roof. If we assume everyone who needs a ventilator but doesn't get one dies, that explains in one fell swoop Wuhan's elevated mortality rate.

6) What about Italy? Its mortality rate is ~3.5%. But, compare the number of hospital beds in Italy and SK. It's ~3/1k vs ~10/1k. SK is already running into issues with hospital bed availability, so it stands to reason that the situation is much worse in Italy. Italy also has a significantly older population than SK. So it's starting to run into the same nightmare scenario as Wuhan. Of note, the US has a younger population than Italy, but fewer hospital beds.

7) What about Iran? It has ridiculous mortality rates. My best explanation is that testing constraints probably lead to more undercounting of infections in the hardest hit areas, so Hubei, Italy, and Iran probably all have artifically elevated mortalities, while the reality for all of them is much closer to 2.5%.

8) There's no need for weird hypotheses about Asians having different proteins in their lungs, there being multiple strains that act radically differently from each other, China running secret death camps for the infected, etc.

9) Policy-wise, we need to keep the rate of infection low enough such that the medical system is not overloaded. This is possible, as it's been done in multiple countries, and that's the difference between a severe-but-normal flu season and over a million dead in the USA. We also have to start taking decisive action yesterday, with today being a second best option.

Discoverability certainly is an issue with vim – but it isn't really with Premiere. What I was alluding to with vim was more the combinatoric aspect of powerful tools. Creating software that solves one specific problem with a beautiful UI isn't that hard – creating something that solves a very broad range of problems is infinitly harder, because you need to give the users a language in which they can tell the machine what they want. That "language" can be shortcuts and chainable commands like in vim or it could be graphical, using a timeline, context menues, drop downs, symbols etc.

However: the more expressive this language has to be and the more problems you should be able to solve with it in precision, the steeper the learning curve will get. And as with spoken language, there are hard to learn languages that let you express certain aspects very precisely and there are simpler languages that might be easier to learn but make it harder to express certain things (e.g. "You" in English vs "Du"/"Sie" in German vs. all the formal variablity of Japanese).
