They're an environmental disaster here in Australia because our native wildlife didn't really evolve with that sort of predator. I believe NZ has it even worse as they had basically no land-based predators other than humans, and so have many birds that nest on land or spend significant amounts of time on land.
I found this irritating, too. I had to google LNKD--it's the stock symbol for LinkedIn. Made me feel dumb for not figuring it out from the context.
If that protein is waste it could be fed to fish farms or something, thus upcycled to human food.

As for suicide, that probably has a lower utilitarian balance than producing fewer pets.

> But contractors are the future.

I strongly disagree. Contractors are, by nature, traveling craftsman. If you want an employee to stick around, bond with the company and really envision... the vision, then a stable, permanent work agreement (read: contract) is mandatory.

Otherwise be warned that the future will be a time of unattached people that care very little about the success of your company (besides being successful enough to pay them).
There's a big difference between "there is a delay in producing or shipping your inputs to you" and "your inputs have been sunk and the country that produces them is at a state of war with us."
I love my pet and would do anything for them. At times my
pet has kept me alive.

If I’m poor does this mean I shouldn’t be able to get help from a pet because people want it to be taxed?

I’m getting pretty tired of all these empty and worthless sensationalist articles.

I still use Memcache in a handful of old PHP projects I’ve been keeping on life support since the mid 2000s. I’m also glad it’s being maintained! It’s perfectly fine at what it was designed to do.
Most cats I know stay indoors as well. Most of the cats I don't know stay outdoors.

Walking 10 minutes down any quiet street usually results in me seeing at least a cat or two. Cats are very common if you're looking for them.
I don't think it's graphics support, but I have the same experience: The vast majority of the time, gmail in firefox loads in fraction of a second, too fast to click "basic HTML" view. And I'm not on something like fiber, just basic cable internet.
Conversely, you can get a lot more space a lot more affordably if you don't have to live within commuting distance of a central business district filled with office buildings.
It’s getting increasingly difficult to say we’re not entering a recession. Pretty much every leading indicator is flashing red now. I’m expecting Q1 earnings reports and forecasts in a month to be the nail in the coffin.
The good: gas will become temporarily cheaper, which will help consumers of gasoline save money that can either be spent on other goods, or socked away for a rainy day.

The bad: Industries that depend on higher prices of oil (electric vehicles, fracking companies) will suffer.
Yes, you're right. It's an artifact from an old version (it used to work).

Only anecdotally, but a pattern I have noticed here in Sweden is that the government seems to not want to be in charge of building homes for people. Affordable housing projects historically tend to up as the worst part of any city, something which I suspect is part of why every politician treat the topic as the plague. Local government seems to instead try get private actors to handle the job of creating more affordable housing, and the common tool I keep hearing is decision that areas of newly built homes must have a certain amount of rent based apartments.

Private actors however seems to want to build a house and then get paid and move on, either by building condos or have each resident buy a "share" in organization that is formed to "own" the building. The apartments are thus modeled after people who can afford that large initial investment, and the dictated portion that need to be rent based is sized similar and selected among those that didn't get initially sold for one reason or an other.

So from what I see the problem is not that urban planners focus on the nuclear family, but rather that no one want to build houses in order to regain the investment through slowly renting it out to many low income residents. Of course this just an observation, so it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.
Pets have real costs associated with them (as this article highlights) and to my knowledge they're not considered basic needs by any stretch. So why should you be exempt from paying those costs, externalties included?

All those buildings look great to me. Architecture needs to move forward. Simply emulating what we built 100 years ago is not the right way forward. We use different materials, have different living expectations, etc. And this is coming from someone who loves old houses!
I wouldnt assume that "quality protein" has any correlation with being healthy.

>Owners can also feed their pets lower-quality proteins, as dogs and cats can happily chow on meat byproducts, such as marrow, kidneys and spleen, left from processing meat for humans.

Us humans don't choose what parts of animals we eat based on any kind of health-centric metric. It just based on what parts we deem distasteful to eat. So the bits that are deemed undesirable/low quality are not necessarily any worse for the consumer. Some amount of organ meat may even be beneficial to health. Arguably meat eating humans would do well to include some amount of kidney, liver, marrow etc in place of some of the muscle tissue that we tend to eat a lot of.
The only thing they could say is that pet food should only contain non-choice cuts of meat and not require people raise animals for them. That people should not impose their own insecurities and brand-image consciousness on their pets.
Uh... both of the two proposed systems I was comparing above do that to some extent, so that seems like a non reply.
Interesting, I did not know this is how IPv6 worked. Need to investigate this more.
Not sure why you are being downvoted so heavily. Cats are killers by design, google “cat fairy terns” to read about a single cat decimating an entire colony of birds and forcing them onto a new migratory path. It’s not spoken of as much in the states because people love their cats here, but many of them are little furry murder machines that kill for fun.

Outside of the SV bubble or Fortune 500 HQ offices, these perks are basically non-existent. I don't know anyone who's employer pays for food beyond a pot of cheap coffee. We have a couple of local gyms that offer discounts to employees of certain companies but that's like $10/mo on an already overpriced gym.
>That you conflate “async IO” and promises may be why you’re in this hole in the first place.

It's all just single threaded cooperative concurrency with context switching at IO. The isomorphic apis on top of this whether it's callbacks, async/await or promises is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

>I’m still really confused why a callback-hell topographical sort and process would be somehow better than a cache, a lock, and a breadth-first search—not least because it’s easier to follow and is also, anecdotally, faster—but clearly these mysteries are just plain beyond my pay grade.

I'm confused as to what the hell you're talking about. "callback-hell topographical sort and process" Wtf is that? Where were callbacks used in my example? Where was sort used?

Do you not understand that the dependencies determine the order of construction? That's it, it doesn't matter what technique you use the overall steps are the same. There is no bfs or callback hell going on. You manually instantiate the dependencies and choose what's async and what is sync. No need for locks.

Are you talking about something that takes a dependency graph and constructs the instance from that? If you want to do that your algorithm is incorrect. You need Post Order DFS, BFS won't work, but both BFS and DFS are O(N) so in terms of traversal over dependencies it's all the same.

class Node:
def __init__(self, createAnObject: AwaitableFunction[Any...], dependencies: List[Node])
self.deps = dependencies
self.constructor = createAnObject

async def constructObjectFromDependencyTree(root: Node) -> Any:
if root is None:
return None
else:
instantiatedDeps = await runAsync([constructObjectFromDependencyTree(node) for node in root.dependencies])
return await root.constructor(*[i for i in instantiatedDeps if i is not None])

The algorithm is bounded by O(N) where N is the amount of total dependencies.
If you want to construct an object with a total of N dependencies then no matter how you do it, the operation will ALSO be bounded by O(N). In terms of speed, it's all the same, but the above is how you're suppose to do it.

The above algorithm should give you what you want while providing concurrency and sequential execution exactly where needed. No callback hell, no promises, no sorting, no external shared state and no locks.

Regardless, if you're building Objects that necessitate such algorithms you are creating technical debt by creating things with long chains of dependencies. You should not be using your primitives to create large dependency trees; instead you should be composing your primitives into pipelines.

Additionally, relegating so much complexity to runtime is a code smell. If there aren't too many permutations bring it down to a manual construction with your code rather than an algorithm/framework.
Eh, there are online gaming microtransactions that work, too.
You can always just JSON-encode whatever you’re putting in there and decode on the way out. Though I couldn’t imagine using it for pub/sub like the parent commenter is doing with redis.
Why only look at carbon though? We could tax non-pet owners as they have statistically higher cortisol levels and high-blood pressure vs. pet owners. Non-dog owners are also more likely to get insufficient exercise. Children of non-pet households are more likely to have asthma and allergies.

On the flip side, pet owners are more likely to get parasites, cat-scratch disease, or toxo.

Taxes for everyone!
The really cool kids are just using something like Jekyll that does all the templating at publish time and you just have static files you dump onto a server.
There's talk about cutting checks to Americans directly in the mainstream now (MSNBC). It's almost UBI-esque (it's at least technically a "conditional cash transfer program").

The reasoning being that right now they're just doing rate cuts, but that only affects investment at the top level, it does nothing to help the americans living paycheck to paycheck.

That doesn't seem like much of an issue though. $200 billion isn't very much if you look at the actual size of the banking industry.

I think the real problem here is more the issue of Russia and myriad of Middle Eastern countries being so dependent on their oil exports in order to stay afloat economically.
I think cats should lose their special pet status if they aren't kept indoors or restricted to an owner's yard. There were a couple of "outdoor cats" in my neighborhood a few years ago, and they'll kill birds in my yard, attack my dogs, leave dead animals on my porch, etc. There was nothing I could do about it though, because cats are considered pets whether or not they actually have an owner. Animal control said all you can do is try to humanely catch them, then take them to a shelter, you can't leave out poison like you can with mice and rats.
Facebook can't get a warrant (just like you or I can't get a warrant either), only law enforcement can get a warrant. I'm not sure if you're suggesting Facebook go to the police and file a criminal complaint under some law, and try to convince the police to get a warrant. Or maybe Facebook's lawyers could subpoena for discovery or something. I'm not sure. I'm not a lawyer.

It would be good to have a legal overview from someone that is actually familiar with relevant law.

Comments like yours that think corruption in the west is anything comparable to the shit world are always so funny to read - like it's a neon light saying you've traded fealty to being reflexively contrarian for anything resembling reasoned informed thought. Like how clueless are you? It's pathetic you're talking about propaganda while spewing hack nonsense. It's very telling that on the subject of corruption, you have to bring up a made up movie to act like you have a clue.
We aren't talking about living on this amount of money long term here, you don't need to be able to qualify for an apartment on it, you just need to be able to continue paying your rent for a few months. If you need to live on this amount of money long term, move.

I was keeping in mind that both adults would be effected... that's why I was using the disability pay rates for both adults in the above.

I'm being downvoted because people who live with cats are controlled by brain parasites communicated from the cats. That's why cat owners don't seem to realize that they are living with the most disagreeable domestic animal.
Doesn't seem like something that should catch anyone by surprise.

That said, it seems like this recession could have a significantly different flavor to it than the others in recent memory.

That's a pretty big commitment to ONLY work at home if you go a ways out, and I suspect where people live isn't entirely relative to their current job.
Counter argument.

Tests are probably not handed out without instructions about the protocol to follow (do not go to emergency, you will be sent back when you do not have severe symptoms etc). If these are not then you pointed out a clear improvement possibility, problem solved.

I think the massive usage of self tests is a very economical way to contain the outbreak.

No, I do not mean the price of the test, I mean the macro economics. Lock downs may be avoided because only infected people must be isolated but the rest can continue to function efficiently.

Even if the containment is not possible by this, it may help to slow down the spread to the level where the health care system could handle severe cases (it is going to be very difficult when spread grows out of control - https://www.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/ff8hns/testimony_... ).

I think that not doing massive testing that is going to be only possible by self testing will create much larger harm.

Edit: the method provided by Bill Gates is not a self test. It is just a way to collect samples. The test will be still done in the lab.

I was turned off of Laravel from a bad experience of the very reason you're afraid of it. Back in 2017 I was hired to take over a large Laravel 4.2 project, which included upgrading it to 5.0+ version. The upgrade was a very long, extremely painful experience, and Laravel itself progressed from 5.0 to 5.2 during our upgrade so it was like trying to hit a moving target.

I know there is a lot of capability wrapped up in the framework which enables rapid development, but for long lived applications, you're going to spend a not-insignificant amount of your time keeping up with upgrades. So in a sense, the framework itself becomes technical debt. That makes it a bad framework from my point of view.

Your code base should not be forced to be so tightly coupled to the framework that you have to spend time updating it to keep up with the framework versions (or get stuck on an old version).
Things are definitely looking bad, but given how optimistic the market has seemed over the past months even with lots of bad news coming out, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a pretty sharp recovery once Covid-19 is contained.
That's a false equivalence. If bad health is a concern you handle that through a direct "tax" (e.g. increased health insurance premiums based on general lifestyle/health assessments), not through such indirect measures as a non-pet tax. On the other hand the cost of pets (carbon footprint, other environmental damage) is directly related to the pets or their food, thus taxes would be directly levied on those aspects.

I have been holding S&P puts as a hedge since the S&P was at 3330, and my portfolio value is at the same level as it was near early Feb highs because of them even though my stock holdings are down.

The most important difference between a higher level language and C is that you really have to understand a bit about the underlying hardware architecture to do it "right". C is a fairly thin veneer over assembly and it helps to have that mental model in mind when working in it.

It's a very small language with almost no batteries included, built very much around the manipulation of pointers and memory more than just about anything else.

To do C the "right" way means approaching problems from that perspective and building mountains out of toothpicks while thinking about how the billions of toothpicks need to interact with one another so they don't crash/catch fire/etc.

The same reason anyone did: signal status. Immigrants can be self conscious of their accents, so it seems even more likely that a normal person would feel that impulse.

But is it a long stretch from the claim: "Non-exhaust emissions (NEE) are particles released into the air from brake wear, tyre wear, road surface wear and resuspension of road dust during on-road vehicle usage."

Resuspension of road dust is literally one of the 4 things they defined as the NEE they're measuring.

My hot take is that the virus isn’t affecting future cash flows enough to warrant a crash, but as is typical, it sure as heck is a big enough catalyst for “risk off” to take hold and most pent-up mispricings to finally normalize, which according to some would be a huge pullback or crash.
This is an extremely limited and uninformed view of the world.

Especially considering what Boeing goes through right now, I would say the best aircraft engineers right now are located in Europe and they work in the Airbus headquarters.

But other than that: most recent innovative payment providers are coming mostly from Europe these days. Transferwise or Revolut comes to my mind as two such examples. Out of which Revolut reached a total valuation $1.7 billion not so long ago.

Also let's take a look at the online music streaming landscape: Tidal, Deezer and Spotify are all European companies.

There are whole industries (or segments at least) where SV is lagging behind.

So this environment argument doesn't hold any water.

Maybe there was a very narrow time period, let's say 10 years or so, when SV was really ahead of the pack in terms of technical skills, but those times are over.

And BTW, I didn't even mention machine learning and AI, where China is basically becoming the world leader right now.
Yet in the history of discussions about remote work on HN, overwhelmingly the top comments have been negative or posting this strawman.
The presentation wasnt the best I agree. The point I was driving towards is that culture can accelerate industrial growth and development but this doesn't mean any /one/ culture or set of beliefs should be presented as superior/better. America became number one (nuanced but I want to avoid another essay) through embracing multi-culturalism, liberty, and being one of the few places that weren't damaged much in WW2 with a nod towards their role in post ww1 decision making as well. China came to be viewed as number 2 and a credible threat to the position of number 1 through radically different cultural processes. So while culture contributed to industrialization in both instances, that doesn't make it sensible to make normative statements supporting either direction as a suggestion for improving the world, or a whole region, at large. These issues are nuanced and if they don't seem nuanced then it's much more likely that we're arguing from a position of ignorance rather than correctness.
I hear panic all around me about the coronavirus (covid-19). However I think this epidemic/pandemic is something that the USA can easily handle.
There is no _cure_ and none is imminent, but good people are working on that, so forget about cures for now. A definitive test is a nicety but not a requirement.

Hospitalization should be symptom-based rather than disease-specific. It matters not if disease is a consequence of Covid-19, SARS or bacterial infection - in all cases the individual needs hospitalization and observation.

We should focus on what remains: managing the outbreak. People fall into two categories:

- Those who can easily die from this flu (or some other flu, e.g., SARS): the elderly, the immune-compromised, those with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cancer.

- Everyone else.

The hospital care gatekeepers' protocol:

Those patients who exhibit signs of the terminal phase of flu/pneumonia should be quarantined: hospitalized, observed and treated until they are out of danger (or die). This is the phase where specialized drugs: antivirals, antiinflammatories et al are used.

Those patients who do not exhibit signs of the later phase of flu/pneumonia should be sent home with instructions.

It seems that this is well within our capabilities: we have the knowledge to manage the outbreak, we have the skills and we have the hospital beds. If we need more hospital beds it should be easy to turn various facilities into temporary hospitals in short order. We have organizations that do this for other disasters: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, etc.

Passengers on cruise ships should be examined by gatekeepers and either released or hospitalized.

I've got friends calling and panicking over this unnecessarily. I see people on TV saying "We don't even have tests!" when tests IMO are not necessary.

We have all we need to handle this - let's do it.
That's assuming output is fixed. If OPEC has failed, that's no longer the case. Since Saudi's unit costs are lower, they can dominate Russia in the long run. The global finance sector will certainly help them with that. Of course, it will be risky, but we are talking about the people who invested in Vision Fund.
