Great job twisting the truth.
Im not gonna be surprised if you say you're a journalist.
Didn't receive a reply after interviewing, or didn't receive a reply after applying? Not getting a reply after applying is pretty common. It could mean a lot of things, including that they might want to keep your resume on file for a future availability.

I don't mind it, personally. It's the ghosting after interviewing that I find annoying.
Exactly. Still, with prioritization, this team can be assembled, isolated, and funded without limit, even now during shutdowns. But there's too many such leverage points to ... leverage. So, we use the same response Europe had to the Plague.

How did the decision to use Rust go from idea to acceptance/adoption? Management can be risk-averse in choice of dev platform, and if Rust was adopted more than 18 months ago it was maybe even before the “rewrite it Rust” meme. Lessons learned and preconditions for success on this decision are especially welcomed.
But my question is if we will see the same levels as Italy. Just glancing at their air quality, I couldn't go there without extra inhalers. Is that making them more susceptible to lung illness?

Is a question I haven't asked. Do they usually see more pneumonia than places like the states, anyways? Could be a proxy to test my hypothesis.
Discord replaced ventrillo and teamspeak for gaming communities. For those you actually ran a "server". Whether or not the company started out calling these accounts "servers" initially, that customer base sure did. It was the terminology customers were used to. They neither knew nor cared what the technical aspects were of having a separate server; it just what you called that thing that the team used to communicate.
Yeah but the prey for blackhats numbers in the billions. There is an abundance upon which they can gorge.
My work went from "next Tuesday workers with last names A-L should work from home to test our remote access capability" to "starting tomorrow everyone who can work from home should and work with your managers before coming in, and to prepare to do so for up to a month" in the space of 1 hour between emails.
There is probably no ROI. But the executives of the company get to stroke their egos at the expense of shareholders. If it is the owner then they get a tax write-off for their egos and get to rub shoulders with athletes. But most rich owners of companies buy sports teams instead with their own money, which can turn out to be a good investment long run as well.
> 400k people die from smoking related illnesses every year. Can we ban tobacco?

400K people die from smoking related illnesses, as a result of consuming something they knew would do that to them. What we outlawed was second-hand smoke, where we prevented innumerable deaths of people who didn't get to choose whether they smoked: at bars, at restaurants, at casinos, on airplanes. That is a fair place to draw the line. If you want to kill yourself smoking, you know the risks, and so long as you're not impacting anyone else, have at it.

> How about sugar to prevent obesity related illnesses?

As in this case a debate should be had: personal liberty vs. companies who know they're selling a harmful product. The right place to draw the line could easily be to outlaw advertising of sugar-added products to children.

> I think these measure are reasonable, I think allowing other such stupid things is unreasonable.

Not going out to the detriment of others is far closer to second-hand smoking than to first-hand smoking so I'd wager an entire couple of decades of case law and precedent exists.

> How many people will die from climate change? It really feels like unless it is an uncontrolled threat to baby boomers we will not take action on it.

Boomers represent 22% of the US population as of 2018, and obviously, falling. If I remember my math right, democracy gives the youth a pretty big edge so they can't really pin this one on the boomers anymore.
I've been finding myself really aggravated at people who continue to downplay it, especially when they're engineers who should know what exponential growth means. There also seems to be this weird narrative going around (or at least it was, I'm not sure if it still is now) that this is all being overplayed by the media. My manager told me over the phone yesterday that it was 'just a bad flu' and that the reaction everyone was having was out of proportion. She's an engineering type that I'd have expected to know better. I'm currently working from home unless it's absolutely necessary to go into the office.

At the same time, I'm having to grapple with the honest truth (found after some introspection) that my extreme need to make people understand this is just as much about my own fear as some people's need to pretend everything is okay and downplay it is to them.

While reading yesterday's thread about "I'm not sure there's an acceptable solution to this", something in me started raising some alarm bells. Reading that thread, it was like the world had already ended. I can totally understand this, but I know there's only a certain amount you can be drawn into that before it goes from being responsibly aware to being uselessly hopeless.

So I'm trying to practice empathy and remind myself not to jump down my friend's throats in chat everytime something coronavirus comes up. At the end of the day, we're all in this together and nobody has definitive answers.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, remind yourself to be nice to people. Everyone needs this more than ever right now.

Edit: Not intended to be directed at anyone in particular here. Just a bit of my rambling thoughts. I'm also not saying we shouldn't spread good information. I've just been finding myself getting really angry at really close friends and trying to keep on top of why that is for me and how I can be a bit nicer to them.
As far as I know Sonic's fibre has never had any caps. I for one have never hit them.
Very psyched to see even more Rust at Dropbox!
My point is that the distinction is meaningless because we should all be committed enough to the same goal and put the severity of the situation above a rebellion instinct. There are other outlets for that.
Should never use phone number as a second factor with a crypto exchange. At the very least use an authenticator app, better yet hardware keys.
Not any kind of doctor, but the list of adverse effects on Wikipedia [1] is...not trivial. Seizures, deafness, retinopathy, and the bald assertion that “there is not enough evidence to determine whether chloroquine is safe to be given to people aged 65 and older.”

Granted, all these risks may be outweighed by those of covid, but it’s not a slam dunk choice yet.

There are trials for chloroquine starting at University of Minnesota [2] too.

So let me get this straight: You want food to be more expensive when we already have families that struggle to put food on the table (see recent worries about closing schools affecting access to the food they provide)?

Urban populations have their own fair share of climate related problems.

Sounds to me like you just want people to starve in order to solve your precious climate ‘crisis’.
Maybe they are hesitant to allow remote work because they know how bad the internet provide is?
Bay has the smartest and most resourceful people in the world. Why can’t we utilize this talent to figure out how to build respirators. Sure there is a bunch of high end 3d printers in the area.

Triage. I don't believe there will be any hospitals struggling to find hospital beds for young pregnant women because there are too many 80 year olds with corona.
My larger intent behind the affiliation remark was "The Fed pumps $1.5T into overnight repro markets" is not a Government action and it is not government money - and theoretically all decisioning Fed decisioning is to be 100% apolitical. These outrageous figures that individuals are conflating with "Wall Street Bailouts" are not government affiliated and are not government funds.
Then we have a treatment (i.e., zinc gluconate + chloroquine):
A zinc tablet (10-80 mg) dissolved slowly in the mouth, lavaging the throat and nose, while lying down will cease coronaviral replication on most of the surfaces of the upper respiratory system. Zinc sprays also work. This must be done within the first 3-4 days of infection with covid-19.

The covid-19 virus' usual course is to first infect the eye, nose and/or throat and then, after ~3 days, move down into the lungs.

If chloroquine (mg) stops the virus in the bloodstream then the combination of (dissolved zinc in mouth + chloroquine pill (up to 500 mg of chloroquine per day) should slow (if not stop completely) the virus, allowing time to clear the virus from the body without raising an excessive immune response ("cytokine storm"). But this treatment must be done within 3-4 days of contracting covid-19.

These medicines are cheaply available now.
Almost exactly the same experience here (NASA center).
Many small businesses esp. in hospitality have to fire most of their staff because of this. It’s not a trivial thing to do, and only worthwhile when the infection/death rate starts climbing. Rural areas and smaller cities are pretty safe if social distancing is used effectively. They don’t yet need to resort to these drastic measures.
And people complain about electron! 600mb for a rest api and a bunch of networking hoopla over containerd, what a mess Kubernetes is...
You can see my reply to the above commenter. I do agree the Fed is affiliated - my intent here was that the Feds action in the repro markets, however, is not.

Although the article is confused regarding dynamic IP addresses your solution of identifying the endpoint using a DNS name is also not a complete solution when using Wireguard. The Wireguard tool, wg, resolves the DNS name and then sets the ip address for the endpoint which the wireguard protocol implementation then uses. Since the wireguard protocol implementation doesn't do any DNS resolution if the endpoint address changes even if the DNS record is updated wireguard will never know. Instead another tool needs to check the DNS record of the endpoint periodically either at some fixed interval and/or based upon the TTL of the DNS record. If the record changes it then needs to update the configuration of the wireguard protocol implementation.

Most other utilities charge based on how much you consume.
Is there actual evidence for this? That governments aren't as effective at producing things. This gets bandied about a lot but I'm not sure it's true. I think governments can be highly effective at producing things.
The actual required time is probably much lower than that. Not everyone who gets the virus needs critical care so what we have to do is keep those numbers below the healthcare capacity line.
> okay, you're right, i wasn't paying attention. shame on me.

I find this attitude troubling in combination with the argument made all over this thread that you can tell the people who say not to use passives are full of it because they can't even identify a passive when they're looking at one. (And you're at least flirting with that argument in your comment above.)

It's completely true that the advice not to use passives is spurious. That advice is an American cultural phenomenon in the same way that advice not to sleep in a room with a running electric fan is a Korean cultural phenomenon, and it's just as valid.

But it's kind of difficult to simultaneously make the arguments that (1) You don't know what you're saying; you can't even tell whether a verb is passive or not, and (2) OK, this verb is passive and I didn't notice, but that shouldn't take anything away from my arguments.

I'd prefer to see the case for passive usage made based on the actual purpose the passive serves (letting you rearrange the elements of the sentence, so that the order in which they are presented better suits the overall flow of the discourse) than based on gotchas.
Most experts best guess from the country that has done the most testing seems like a far cry from "100% complete bull shit".

It probably helps that it was a fully mature toolkit inherited from another place, and came in with the return of Steve Jobs, so it would be pretty politically untenable to start trying to ditch it.

"Why can't we just 3D print them" is the most "Bay" response to this complex problem.

Snark aside, modern respirators are complex machines. Certain components could maybe be 3D printed. I suspect we'd probably just be moving the bottleneck up the supply chain, however.
> For those you actually ran a "server".

Exactly - something difficult to do that not everyone could just do (or rent from a service, or have permanently running). Which is cool.

I'm saying this is an important element to Discord's early success precisely because it understood the gamer audience it was engaging, how it communicated and thought and the tools they were using. Discord allowed people who previously couldn't to "have a server". Which lead to a period of everyone "making" one, and then better ones survived. Not the only factor, but it contributed. I clearly remember how proud people were of their "servers".

I'm sure they knowingly made use of this fact and picked a term that implied more than it does in technical reality because it had social currency. If you play to an audience, understanding what it values and what generates status within it helps a lot.
I can't directly reply to npo9, but I imagine the argument in front of the court would amount to something along the lines of where shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater is not protected by the 1st Amendment, either. It's about balancing the freedom versus the overall public good.

Where that balance is, I don't know. That's why we have the courts, to begin with.
> The landlords are using the rent to pay the mortgage on the property. If the banks suspend mortgage payments, then the landlords don't need to collect rent any more.

How do you know it goes to a mortgage? The property could be owned by a retired couple and the rent is the income they live on, or a charity and the rent is how they fund their operations.

Or it could be owned by a regular old smelly landlord who just takes the rent money and invests it in the S&P 500 -- which, if you take it away multiplied by millions of landlords, does a Bad Thing to the stock market right when you want the opposite of that.

Sometimes rent includes utilities. What does the landlord pay that with?

I imagine you also expect to waive property tax or the landlords would have nothing to pay that with either, but then what are you using to fund local governments?

You can't just delete an industry and expect it to have no untoward effect.
The issue is the people who need to be hospitalized in the worst cases go on to require ventilation to force air into their lungs and those machines have a limited supply. On top of that people on ventilation require pretty close observation so you need about 3:1 patient to nurse ratio. Those are the numbers that are hardest to increase rapidly, nurses and ventilator equipment.
I hadn't ever encountered the word until the early part of the article.

So I looked up the meaning and went on a long ride on the train of distraction.

At first I honestly thought it was some state actor level prank because of how everyone insisted it was impossible to translate.

Most of the sites being sketchy top5 looking sites really played into my suspicion. Or lots of good beer.

Edit: fixed something.

The Case for a Social Distancing Wage
Wonderful to see such a detailed run down!

I scrolled straight to the singing part to see if there were any nuggets of wisdom. I've been singing with a teacher for 6 months and it still seems impossible. Everything is so indirect and there is no obvious path to getting better.

Are there any people here who have improved their singing skills significantly? What did you do?
while i don't doubt Bay has very talented people, and is surely one of the richest and most resourceful place in the world, it is very narrow viewed to think that this crisis will be solved by "smart people".

I'm not Italian, but I could understand that some people might find offensive to imply that Northern Italy (with one of the bests healthcare system) are less smart and resourceful than Bay people.
> However, they must remain able and available and ready to work during their unemployment for each week of benefits claimed and meet all other eligibility criteria.

Does contracting COVID-19 preclude collecting?
Ignoring the SV elitism for now, probably because by the time you need a respirator you also need a team of highly trained doctors to keep you alive and you can't 3D print doctors.

A doctor can prescribe it. Best to take it under the supervision of a doctor.
I think you misread what the person I was respond to said.
In any case, I also disagree that it takes much to know that the US is going to suffer particularly bad. If people don't have job security, they aren't going to stay home. If people don't have health care, they won't bother trying to access it. This will help spread the disease faster than the health care system can handle it. Furthermore, given poor education levels and (justified) distrust of the government, in most of the country, compliance is going to be low anyway.

There are at least two factors at play here:
- some people really don't understand exponential growth
- it's become a mark of political tribalism to pretend that the pandemic isn't real.

There are other factors, like the fact that most offices don't have the infrastructure for 100% of employees to work from home suddenly. But I think the above two factors dominate.
