Both the culture point and:

"Peacetime CEO strives for broad based buy in. Wartime CEO neither indulges consensus-building nor tolerates disagreements."

Feel off to me. You're always creating culture, and if you've got good people and a strong culture, consensus flows naturally from single-minded mission focus. No matter how dire the straights, you need buy in from your team. In a crisis, that buy in stems from the mission and trust you've built over the years. Dictatorial decrees without a team that trusts you and a strong culture will cause the company to fail regardless of how urgent the battle. They'll just quit.

Airbnb cheats with bad reviews, so their properties look more attractive.

I came to a rental apartment which was trashed and uninhabitable and left it after a tiring few hours on the phone with Airbnb to convince them not to charge me and finding a place to stay (hotel) in the meantime (They also tried to find a 'suitable' replacement but nothing was comparable).

The host left me a negative review complaining 'I didn't want to vacate the apartment' (!). I was shocked that the host received invitation to write a review on a guest who hasn't stayed.

After numerous emails with Airbnb they confirmed that the host is able to leave reviews in all cases, as well as a guest, but they deliberately didn't e-mail me an invitation. They claimed they did, but after further investigations I found a proof this was deliberate omittance.
Whistleblower is commonly understood to uncover illegal, criminal or otherwise punishable activity within the organization, that is being hidden. Thus the metaphor of "blowing the whistle" - as in, attracting attention to something untoward going on. However, just releasing secret documents which do not contain the proof of any specific criminal, or otherwise untoward, behavior is not "whistleblowing". For example, Manning released 251,287 US Diplomatic cables and 482,832 Army reports - unless you consider the whole US Diplomatic corps and US Army to be a criminal enterprises, this goes way beyond whistleblowing, as described above.
Try with -O3.

Another wrinkle is that the symbol names of extern functions need to be in the binary regardless of debug level, though the main binary is a special case, unlike shared libraries. So you'll get different results again if you add -fPIC -rdynamic (or possibly just -fPIC) to -O3, similar results as-if you compiled a library with -O3 -fPIC -shared. But then if you define f and g as statically scoped -fPIC -rdynamic won't change the behavior.

It follows that there's a potential conflict between code optimization and the ability to determine function names and line numbers for a trace. To preserve the ability to associate the programer counter (PC) to distinct function names and line numbers a compiler might need to abstain from completely inlining, merging, eliding, or otherwise optimizing some functions and code blocks (though that doesn't mean it needs to preserve actual function call behavior). People will endlessly debate the cost+benefit, but it's something to keep in mind for performance critical code blocks.

> it's clear that the world's top economists felt we were perilously close to a full-blown disaster – trucks not bringing goods into cities, things grinding to a halt, etc.

The same top economists who didn't see the financial crisis coming? More like the top economists hired/backed by bankers felt that bankers would lose a lot of money and made the excuse of bread lines to dupe congress.

> But if there were ever a time for us not to be partisan and tribal, it's now.

No. I prefer the partisanship. It's when the government is united that you know bad things is going to happen. Everytime there is an illegal war, the government unites. Everytime the american people gets screwed over, it's always the united government. And the same messaging is used "if there were ever a time for us not to be partisan and tribal, it's now."

But then again, the partisanship is just for show anyways. They all work for the same masters.

> We need to act boldly, now.

Like what? Give more money to bankers and wall street? Like last time?

Every time there is a fear mongering event - 9/11, Financial Crisis, Red Scare, etc, it's the american public that loses more rights/privileges and the elites/government/state that gets more control.

"Anybody can do peacetime CEO, you just sit and do nothing. I, on the other hand, am a Warrior CEO of great success!"
We've watched our clients get SOC2 certified and been directly involved in the IRL and audit interview processes, and circulated this among peers that have also been SOC2 certified, and we're pretty comfortable with the advice we're offering. So:

As we've said repeatedly, SOC2 doesn't "require" much of anything. It certainly doesn't call SSO or MDM out by name. What it instead involves are abstract control points that are addressed with evidence. As the top of the post says, the point is to engage in security engineering practices that generate evidence useful in SOC2 engagements.

So, you can certainly freestyle your application and infra access controls, and make up policy responses to the IRL questions on the fly. You can also sit around and worry about which of the "COSO Principles" you're covered on or not covered on.

Or, you can do some basic sensible security engineering things that are almost certain to cover the majority of the evidence requests your auditors generate, in most cases without even needing to be aware of the AICPA guidance line items.

You make your own process recommendation here: do a "hell of a lot of work" to have "written and audited policies" and a "risk assessment" and become aware of the "COSO Principles". I have no trouble believing that approach works, because after seeing and being involved in a bunch of SOC2 audits and talking to people who did SOC2 audits, I believe everything works.

More importantly, we see startups led around by the nose by insane questionnaires (and a SOC2 IRL is certainly that). We've talked to firms that have been told by their SOC2 auditors to install IDS systems, WAFs, and Mac AV software. We are alarmed by the prospect of a startup without in-house security or compliance expertise reading what's out there about SOC2 --- especially the AICPA documentation, or example IRLs --- and then just going and doing that stuff. They'd be wasting a tremendous amount of time without realizing that smart startups skip a lot of that work and deploy none of the junk and get SOC2'd just fine.

So, if you're going to do something, do something sensible.

What I think people should be especially careful about is taking advice from people who have just done SOC2 at a single company or with a single auditor. They are all different. There are processes where you'll end up explaining what a URL is. There are processes where you'll end up explaining why you have VPC flow logs disabled. The value we're offering here is that we've seen it done repeatedly, with multiple auditors.
> It's not that simple. Transactions can, and will be, replayed on both chains. There would however be many opportunities for attacks such as double spends for a short window of time.

My point was that a merchant who accepts a payment for some good or service, and later finds out that they were partitioned from the network after they have already released the goods, may find that they don't have any money on the other (main) chain because it was already spent. The merchant has no recourse to get back their money.

> That's not realistic. As soon as there is some communications between the chains, the system will reconcile. It's sort of the whole reason why this proof-of-work thing exists. Without the need to reconcile chain splits it would be sufficient with some sort of voting of proof-of-stake scheme.

This is what I was alluding to in the last paragraph. The majority of participants who do nothing will simply continue to operate on the main chain, but those who were partitioned (which may include miners) may resist operating on the main chain by forking their software. If enough people are affected by a partition, they would have the incentive to follow the partitioned chain and promote the forked software because their money doesn't exist on the main chain. They would probably operate both chains in attempt to spend the money they received whilst the partition occurred, but eventually the dominant main chain would account for most of their economic activity and the partitioned chain will become obscure, like Bitcoin Cash.

Yeah, Dublin has fairly minimal rail and tram systems, though I found SF's fairly unusable when I was there. SF's bus system seemed particularly bad, though. In many/most cases, if it was suggesting walking for 45 minutes, Google Maps couldn't do better with a public transport suggestion. This would rarely be the case in Dublin, though it does happen. It would almost never be the case in a city with actually good public transportation.
It’s like the IT dilemma all over again.

I've tried doing some stuff with the Italian data but got a similar roadblock. For example, I'd be interested in knowing, among the ICU cases, if these cases were new (people arrived in the ICU with a diagnosis) or a worsening of the already existing patients (perhaps in sub-intensive care earlier).

It would help forming an idea on how the current situation (in addition to the new cases) is going.

Even if it's a response to that politician's own statement specifically commenting on questions of character? I really can't agree - distinguishing between 'political flamebait' and 'reflexively tugging the forelock to those in authority' clearly requires judgement, but the line isn't quite that fine.
If something has to give, it seems to me like a strong possibility it's the R0 range estimate.
Authorities, and to some extent media, in my country have been very tenacious in trying to reassure people. Often up to the point of outright disinformation.
At the start of this week the pacifier statement in vogue was that the mortality rate estimate is inflated because the severe cases are those who self-present for care. and thus testing. so if one counts all the cases, including the undetected ones, a much smaller fraction are lethal.

Well, that one's true, but the flip side of that, which nobody here has wanted to address so far, is that to the extent the transmissibility is calculated based on corresponding data, that estimate is going to be deficient instead, because it's failing to include some of the contagion that resulted in cases that went undetected.
Hopefully the people making the estimates know better than that because of other data sources, but the main one I can think of (maybe aside of South Korea's broad biochemical testing, which may be a relatively unbiased sample according to my perception?) is contact tracing of confirmed cases. And I think it's downright likely that at least our contact tracers would miss fomite transmission and persistent aerosol transmission until now, because the party line touted here, at least officially, is "you get the disease though close contact over a long time with someone who is sick" lately expanded to include "or if somebody coughs or sneezes at you" (emphasis mine).

The other thing I can think of to somewhat reconcile the observations is even if the virus has a high durability in the environment, the total transmission process would be contingent on other factors too, one of which is the dose needed to get an infection going.

I have a life science background, but not specific expertise in this area. Would appreciate if someone has good clarifications to share about how accurate the transmissibility estimates are likely to be and why.
Oh, excellent:) Thanks for sharing an official source for that.
> "Their" data? What a ludicrous concept. It's analogous to saying people own numbers.

I am not sure why you are being down voted, this is a perfectly accurate statement - and if viewed from a democratic perspectives, corporates are very dictatorial and mafia-like
Sure. You will notice that I was not criticizing anyone for thinking critically or asking questions. I was pointing out something that I still believe to be a failure of critical thinking, and that we could know a priori that this was a bad way of reasoning about things without reference to prior knowledge.

I notice that my opinion is unpopular with people interested in this topic, and I'm certainly familiar with being wrong about things, but in my opinion going from "an expert told me that envelope viruses are deactivated when soap destroys the envelope" to "the real reason that soap deactivates viruses is because it destroys proteins" on the basis of the semantics of a line from a Wikipedia entry is categorically problematic on the face of it.

Most of us here are in the habit of relying on our ability to discover knowledge by reasoning about limited information. It is how one solves puzzles. It is not how one learns things about the world. Believing that we know something which we don't know is dangerous in this situation. Convincing others that we know something we don't know is also dangerous.

What I am doing right here is exactly attempting to improve our collective intelligence. I am certainly not dissuading anyone from washing their hands. I am encouraging people to second-guess themselves before they second-guess others.
> And then you give a bad review and those places lose their listing?

1. AirBnB doesn't care about adjudicating these disputes, so the host won't actually lose their listing.

2. And if the stars align, and enough people get ripped off, and AirBnB actually takes action against the host, they'll just re-open under a new listing 5 minutes later.
Good point. This seems to be the exception though. If it's fate to be shown that fate exists, some might find that disappointing. Others might find it a relief. Your happiness or sadness at this revelation would also be predetermined. An extreme form of bondage.

This is bubble valuation, and with WeWork blowing up and now COVID hitting everything, the stock market in freefall - and that COVID will be materially damaging specifically to AirnBnB - not just indirectly ... the party is over.
