> Noma is notorious for using free labour and underpaying and overworking everyone else. Their restaurant literally couldn't exist in most countries as they'd violate a ton of labour laws...

That's any restaurant, you don't work at these places because its a good business proposition with good work-life balance, you do it mainly out of passion. It just so happens that Michelin awarded places have deeper talent pools to draw from.

I should know, I worked at a new 'concept' headed by a 3-star chef and lasted 5 weeks before I realized what a scam it was and walked out. Just for context, I've been a Sous-chef but I'm often the highest paid BOH hourly worker in most my restaurant jobs as just a cook, making more per hour than almost all sous-chefs on a weekly basis with 1/2 the responsibilities. I can usually jump from BOH or FOH if/when needed.

I also had the privilege of working with one of the rockstars from El Bulli Hotel, who pretty much said the same.

> They're actually great ventures, there's just a lot of restaurateurs who don't know how to make money.

What first hand experience do you have with this? I've ran kitchens before (granted, it was in Europe) and the food, maintenance, utility and labour costs are only ever really reasonable when you run lean as hell and alcohol sales are through the roof (think late Spring/Summer and holidays). Otherwise buy-outs are the only thing to be seen as a healthy ROI.

> Anyhow, Noma is influential in the foodie world, but their influence on popular culture and eating habits outside Scandinavia is way overstated.

Wrong again:

I grant you a lot of it is good PR, as most high-profile 'foodie/chef' stuff typically is. but it has made a significant impact in the end consumer that wasn't there. And its trying to disrupt archaic, bloated budgets in Government run crony-capitalist systems (school lunch programs).

Dan Barber's trajectory to its current notoriety is a good example of how collaborative efforts help elevate profiles:

Now, would I personally travel to eat at Noma DK/MX, no... not really. I'm not into molecular gastronomy, I come from a Scientific background with several years working in a lab, and most of their novelty relies on HS level lab/bench work.

Its interesting, and I'm glad they're successful; but unless I'm a being treated to a menu for free I'm not going, also I'm not there target demographic as I cook.
I think what previous comment was getting at is, most (all) of the time you buy a license to software, not the software itself
Here's the thing.

Take GitHub, and boil it down, and it's a mish mash of version control, diff, and patch, all plastered over with a shiny HTTP veneer.

Diff/patch, git, and email alone are the basic tools you need. Even before VCS was a really big thing, that is how software changes were propagated around.

There is nothing wrong with sticking with the basics. In fact, I flat out refuse to tell newbies that they should host everything on GitHub, or GitLab. It's becoming a twisted new form of "social media-esque" hype.

This should be marked 1 hour old, not really relevant anymore.
>I didn't even mention the words "licensing" and "banning."

Even if you don't mention them explicitly, you still have to acknowledge the difference because one of your examples was "software object".

When consumers pay money for software, it almost always licensed and not bought. If you buy MS Windows 10 from Amazon.com, you purchased a license. If you truly want to "buy" Windows 10 in the same sense as your other non-software examples, you'd have to convince Microsoft to sell you the "ownership of the codebase" or have enough billions to acquire the entire Microsoft corporation to "own" Windows 10.
You're obviously concerned so you might not like my (very subjective) advice.

If the official recommendation is that each company decides on their own, then there is not much you can do and you'll have to follow the company guideline. If the company insists on not doing anything, then their leadership is dangerously irrational. In that case, I'd seriously consider looking for another job now rather than waiting until the economic crisis hits. (It will likely hit hard, world-wide.)

If you're asking about the personal risk of going to the company versus staying at home, that cannot be answered in general. Are you going with public transport/the tube? That's a very high infection risk. Otherwise, going there and working there might not be a high risk, depending on the office layout and facilities for sanitizing. Does the building have air conditioning? That's probably a very high risk. How old are you? The younger, the less of a personal risk you have.

Without more information, it's impossible to judge or even attempt to quantify the personal risk.

If you rely on the power of the state to be the ultimate enforcer of contracts and property rights, the state has the right and duty to delineate which contracts it will enforce.
>The good old email and phone is just enough, providing you trust the people you work with (if you don't then this is on you as a manager an no tool will help you)

This is the crux of things. If you haven't hired people who can be trusted to work remotely, there's nothing you can do to manage/lead them.
>I don't know how any of these environments promote apprenticeship which is slow, costly, and supports practices like long term investments in relationships between employer/employee.

While it's not completely either/or, this is a key point. When I first graduated, there were definitely companies that had formal 12-month or so training/internship/apprenticeship programs. We still have (paid at some level) summer interns, but extended rotations/on-boarding don't really exist.

And part of the reason is what makes sense for both employee and employer when 10 to 20 year employment tenure is pretty normal doesn't make sense if the new college hire will probably have moved on in a couple years.

Firefox has shipped rust code since August 2016 with the release of Firefox 48.

This depends on how you define "critical component." At this point, there is a lot of Rust in a lot of critical pathways for a lot of things.

Incidentally, the kernel maintainers have suggested that they're open to the possibility of Rust in optional drivers. See my other comment below.
Proprietary in contrast eliminates competition for the job - no source to study
I find BBC World News to be fairly even-handed and far less engaged in fear mongering.

The vast majority of US news sources are engaged in using fear and twisting facts to damage Trump. It has reached a ridiculous scale. The other day a CNN reporter asked guest doctors the same question over and over again to try and get one of them to say one of Trump’s decisions was wrong. When each doctor said, in no uncertain terms, that he made the right decision, this host asked the same question to the next medical guest hoping for an answer that aligned with her objectives.

I watch and read all sources in order to achieve a degree of balance. What’s going on right now with those politically opposed to Trump is nothing less than revolting and counterproductive.

Or think about it this way, this means as a percentage of real people infected, the mortality rate of COVID-19 is higher than thought. This false-positive rate means that the number of real cases is lower than reported and therefore mortality rate is higher. In other words, COVID-19 is more dangerous than thought if you catch it. Then again, I'm sure the actual cases dwarfs those reported since not everyone has been tested.

Maybe different people do it differently, after all some have photographic memory, I don't. But I certainly don't think about all the letters involved in a variable but rather the concept of the variable, or what that variable represents. Doesn't matter if it's called "numberOfBurgersPerCustomer" or "nb" as such. But in case I forget, "numberOfBurgersPerCustomer" immediately tells me what is going on compared to just "nb".

I guess the point is that I don't want to wade in definitions just to get the gist of a code. I want to jump in there, see immediately what's going on and where the problem can be.

You mentioned buying a software product, but that is not commonly done by consumers. We all license software. Buying software means buying the copyright and become owner of it. The replies mention changing software copyright for consumer products. I can imagine that to be a good idea, but I don't see the EU making GPLv3 software mandatory for software products. I don't see a way forward yet.
You are confusing two things. AntiSEPTICS and germ theory were both well established by the Spanish Flu. AntiBIOTICS were not. In other words we knew how to prevent surgical infection but not how to treat a bacteria that had already settled into someone's body.

Louis Pasteur came up with and proved the germ theory in the 1860s. Joseph Lister proved in 1865 that carbolic acid would prevent infection in surgery. Adoption took many years, but by the 1880s antiseptic surgery was widely adopted and Lister was made a baronet in recognition.

The Spanish flu was 1918, decades after the widespread adoption of antiseptics.

The first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered in 1928. But it did not enter medical use until 1942. This was not a result of doctors resisting a good idea though. Penicillin is created by a bacteria. How do you produce useful quantities of a substance that in concentration kills the very thing that produces it?
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penicillin#Discovery):

"The effects of penicillium mould were finally isolated in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming"

I mean, this is an understandable argument, but the moral harm of the government broadcasting the weather data they produce anyway for free is not so great (in my opinion) that it should be stopped.

If DWD has an API, I guess somebody should just put up an open source app on F-Droid, and maybe somebody will pay to put it on Play. I don't know about iOS anymore, last time I made an iOS app it was kinda something you would only do if there was money in it.

I agree somewhat with the general argument, but I don't think the courts should be pushing for "peak neoliberalism" at any cost.

PS. FWIW, if you had linked, say, to a meatier discussion of central bank interventions and their motivations, or about the potential impact of Covid-19 on the global economy, I would not have flagged your post.

The US had HAARP[0] which was researching use of high frequency radio waves in the upper atmosphere which was also surrounded by conspiracy theories. One theory was that HAARP was responsible for the massive flooding in the early 90s of the Mississippi river due to the Jet Stream to severely change course due to the effects of HAARP. Another was that HAARP opened up a hole in the atmosphere which allowed a small portion of Alaska to receive a much more intense dosing of solar radiation.

No, not really. Often they’re extremely counterintuitive and difficult to communicate in any way except mathematically.

> philosophically unrefined

No. It's nonsensical to think a person created in the universe is separate from the universe. There are no great philosophers that believe in free will. It would be only wishful thinking with ignoring logic to assume you can make a choice that's truly your own and not the outcome of the system we're in. Furthermore, neuroscience illustrates determinism (no free will) and physics has as well until people lost their minds with quantum physics that's grossly unfinished. please email me if you want to discuss in great detail.
I really wonder how we're going to look back at this in a few years.

On the one hand, no matter what measures politics takes here (the Netherlands), every political party is clamouring for more. That suggests to me that we'll probably end up doing too much.

On the other hand, the scenes from Hubei and Italy are horrific, we're going to get them here as well, it could be far worse, we absolutely must act now.

On the third and fourth hands, the total number of deaths so far wouldn't even make a serious flu season in a single country, and fatality rates are all over the place depending on the country.

Very confusing. Still, better too much than too little.

It depends on what it is used for. If banks have enough deposits to lend out $15T they might not find enough borrowers and therefore only a partial sum will reach the economy. Why do banks have so much trouble getting borrowers if the interest rates are negative? Because banks add additional fees on top. The fee must high enough to cover defaulting loans and the bank's expenses.

If you have ever taken a loan from a bank you are aware that you must prove to the bank that you are able to repay the sum. Based on the information they receive they will calculate the default risk and increase the interest rate accordingly.

Warning. Extremely simplified for ease of demonstration.

If you have a 50% default risk then someone else has to cover your missed payments. For every $10k you want to borrow the bank has to ask for another $10k in additional interest to cover the default risk. If your loan lasts 8 years that means $833 additional interest per year or around 8%.

Now, if you are a young poor person with a bad credit score then you might end up paying 5% on top of the actual interest rate. Negative interest: 5% - 0.1% = 4.9%. Positive interest: 5% + 1% = 6%. I'm glossing over compounding interest but the picture is clear. Negative interest rates are not going to meaningfully change the cost of borrowing money for the average person unless they get a mortgage that is backed by the value of the house. Meanwhile for rich people and companies who can get rates as low as 1% lowering the interest rate to -0.1% is almost like a cheat code. At those rates the money might as well be free.

Think of it this way - decoherence depends on regions of the wave function more or less becoming isolated from one another in such a way that the results of experiments for classical things in those regions match our results. The wave function is still fundamental, but classical physics emerges as a limit.

The problem with decoherence is that the underlying physics of the wave function is still profoundly non-local in the sense that regions of the wave function don't have a simple relationship with regions of physical space.

And yet, classically, the notion of locality pertains precisely to physical space and is deeply related to fundamental physics. In fact, locality is still fundamental to the formulation of quantum mechanical theories, even if the quantum mechanical description ends up having some non-local features. And there isn't any philosophical or physical intuition that resolves this disconnect.

Decoherence has a variety of other philosophical issues. In particular, it requires that we accept the idea of the wave function (something we never see or interact with directly, for which we have no direct evidence) as fundamental and real AND that we take our day to day experiences, upon which all of our physical sciences are based, as derived, perhaps even, in important ways, not really real. In any case, the actual theoretical terms in which decoherence actually resolves the measurement paradox aren't fully understood either mathematically or in terms of the fundamental ontological status of things.

Expecting to get a "codebase" when buying a software product would be the same as expecting getting blueprints for all the parts your car is made of. The concept of "buying a licence" is forced and by no means the only possible, if one wants to use a piece of software.
This is somewhat misleading information.

First, the country has NOT been completely shut down. I went shopping today and bought milk, yeast and flour. We didn't need toilet paper, but the store had plenty. All schools and most of the public sector closes down for two weeks on Monday. Some business (like restaurants, movie theaters and fitness gyms) are closing down on their own accord. But you can - if you will - still go shopping for clothes, gardening stuff, electronics and most importantly food.

Second, although the right to forced entry into private property was in the original draft it was removed before vote. Entry still follows the known rules of needing approval by a judge.

You are right, however, that forced testing, forced treatment, forced vaccination (if/when possible) and forced quarantine is mandated as per discretion of the public health authorities.
