In fact if you go for any sort of loan they are not allowed to factor the $1k into your income.

If they do that, the costs of living goes up by $1k universally and it's a waste of time.
Russia was the one that declined to cut oil production at the last OPEC+ meeting, which means they are capable of enduring this type of downturn.

Heard of Google, bro? It's settled fact that the covid-19 pneumonia is a result of a "cytochine storm". Always like to lead off with a lancet article, to lance the boil:

The age-banded mortality rates aren't all they're bandied up to be, eh? Heh, heh!
It certainly clarifies a lot. Sorry for the 20 questions.
You have to remember that these fatality rates are with treatment, and old people will experience roughly 2 years of death rates within a few months in that case, leading to massive numbers of hospitalizations. That case load is absolutely not normal regardless of who's driving it. What's your plan exactly -- deny treatment to old people who have COVID-19? Not only will that increase death rates substantially, it's horrible.

https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-model-shows-...

And all of that is ignoring the possibility of people suffering nonfatal chronic health problems, which has been reported.

Meanwhile, remdesivir and lopinavir/ritonavir are in trials and once we actually have drugs available the hospitalizations would be shorter and the death rates much lower. At that point quarantine becomes less important.

I always thought the corporation was still Comcast but they'd just rebranded their products as Xfinity. Could be wrong though, haven't fact checked that.
_Anything_ could happen between now and the convention/election. Surprisingly, I haven't seen this mentioned explicitly, but all of the remaining (major) candidates are squarely in the Covid-19 "danger zone". Some are known to have complicating health factors and there's a non-zero possibility that others do (despite what their doctors' notes say), which _doubles_ the risk.
I’d love a robotic vacuum. However, my house is not very flat. It has two main floors, but several rooms are offset from the main floors by about a foot or two (who knows why). Is it possible to put a small ramp on the stairs and tell the vacuums how to navigate it?
Honestly these hotels are probably losing so much money right now that they’d gladly take a covid patient.

A powerful boss in World of Warcraft could afflict the player with a plague called "Corrupted Blood", which rapidly drained your HP and could spread to nearby allies. The negative status effect was supposed to apply only in its zone of origin, but due to the way it was implemented, a player accidentally spread it outside its containment zone by dismissing and then re-summoning a pet with the effect, allowing it to spread. All hell broke loose on Azeroth, as entire cities would be contaminated with Corrupted Blood, and were subsequently abandoned or avoided by the remaining healthy players. Some players with healer-class characters would heal their allies and random strangers until the affliction passed. Others deliberately spread the affliction as a form of griefing. It was bananas, and epidemiologists used it as a model for possible human behavior in a real-life plague.

This is not always required. WireGuard peers can roam freely very similarly to Mosh (if one peer receives an authenticated message from one of its peers from a different IP address, it will update the gateway of that peer and will send all subsequent packets to that IP address).

But to be fair, this doesn't work perfectly (especially if you have certain firewall rules that block UDP packets if they're not part of the what the firewall thinks is the same "connection", if both peers change their IP at the same time, or if the peer whose IP changed was rebooted or reconfigured before the other peer received a packet from its new IP addreds) but it really does work surprisingly well. For those (important) corner-cases, I would imagine that higher-level tooling such as NetworkManager would do the DNS checks you're talking about.
CDN bandwidth by nature of the reach of Cloudfront will mostly be offload onto the local peering fabrics. It basically costs nothing in per mbit billing - e.g. linx https://www.linx.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fees_Schedul.... 100gb hand. That's not to say there aren't other major costs in running a resilent edge network which go someway to justify 0.0Y/GB pricing where Y varies from 1-9 depending on location for non sponsored projects. tl;dr - it won't ever be a problem

I wish I could say no, but: Yes. In time they could claim - potentially truthfully - that an increasing number of increasingly connected devices engaging in more complex applications by ever more data hungry end users drove additional demand relative to the levels seen in the past, even during past crises.
That makes sense if we're talking about long-term changes and not temporary public health measures during a pandemic.

For-profit companies are also accountable to the market; a company lying about the traffic numbers, for whatever reason, loses when a competitor offers more accurate numbers.

Related note while we're banning people for word selection:

Does github realise that "git" has a pejorative association? Its not actually a polite word. If you were to call me a "git" in comments on any of my projects it would be an automatic code-of-conduct violation. You'd get one very specific warning about abusive word use then you'd be blocked.

Are they aware of this? Its always made me laugh. They've basically put a minor league swear/offensive word in the name of their corporation.

PS Please don't explain why the git tool is named git. Or why github was named. I already know. Just understand that "git" is similar and has as much offensive weight as pointedly calling someone a "worthless idiot". You're actually being deliberately offensive. In some places you would also likely get a punch in the face depending on who you insulted. Its at that level of offensiveness. Different cultures etc.

It's settled fact that the covid-19 pneumonia is a result of a "cytochine storm".

This just isn't true. It maybe true for a subset of patients in some circumstances. To quote your first link:

Accumulating evidence suggests that a subgroup of patients with severe COVID-19 might have a cytokine storm syndrome.
The problem is that multinational corporations can devise complicated ways to avoid paying taxes in the countries where they do business by exploiting tax havens, as Apple did in Ireland.

Amazon has a huge business in the UK with offices, staff, stock and warehouses, but Amazon UK doesn't sell stuff. You are actually buying UK goods from UK warehouses with UK delivery etc but the money goes straight to Amazon EU Sarl in Luxembourg, where it has a sweetheart tax deal.

So Amazon exploits the whole UK social system of education, health services, roads, police etc etc without paying the UK government for the benefits. This is really bad for the UK and other countries except Luxembourg.

Meanwhile, Amazon EU Sarl reduces its taxes by paying Amazon Europe Holding Technologies SCS - a "non-resident" company -- hundreds of millions of euros for "intellectual property" rights that are basically untaxed (Amazon is paying itself), and the money gets spirited back to the USA.

The cost of "intellectual property" is really just a made-up number. What is Amazon charging itself vast amounts of money for when its UK website and business processes are basically the same as its American and other websites?

The whole thing may be legal but it's basically a fraud, and the EU ordered EU ordered Amazon to repay €250m in “illegal tax advantages”. Which is still chickenfeed for a company of Amazon's size and wealth.

It's highly likely that European countries will introduce a "digital tax" on turnover to stop this kind of cheating. I expect Americans will get angry if or when that happens, but in the long run, we don't have an alternative. Infrastructure is expensive, and the money should come from the people who are benefiting from it.

In the US, of course, Amazon gets tax breaks from people who want Amazon investment. New Jersey offered $7bn of tax incentives in its bid for Amazon's "second headquarters".

If companies like Amazon actually paid the taxes required by law that would be nice. Instead they have armies of people finding wholly artificial ways to legally avoid paying those taxes.
Under normal times, if you tell your doctor that you're planning on traveling, sometimes they'll ask if you want anti-malaria medication, and I believe chloroquine is one of the options they give you.
To elucidate: there are a meaningful number of people - like people in West Virginia who feel Obama was pretty effective at using environmental regulation to essentially stop almost all domestic coal production (true) - that Obama wouldn't have hurt coal if it was found only in deep blue states. It is shockingly hard to hurt your political opponents livelihood and prove it was fair handed (which is almost certainly was) - at some point the politics of, anyone who hurts the field would by opposed by that field, take hold, and it feels like retribution, especially when they aren't given advance warning.

While a significant portion of that 78% might be people who think a monthly income of X means they can service debts with monthly costs of X, there are also people for whom basic cost of living (mostly rent) is most of their income. An example would be someone working in the valley area who doesn’t earn enough to afford to move to cheaper accommodation (along with associated increase in commuting costs). It’s not their inability to control spending, it’s the requirement to be geographically close to their place of work.

If there were more jobs available in the backwoods, there would be the real possibility of moving there to reduce the cost of living to a smaller portion of income.
up to a point when the prey develops a search image and avoids predation. this is when the predator search image must undergo behavioral extinction, and find a prey that can be harvested with some level of success. When exploitable individuals are no longer contactable the interpredatory competition has to thin out the predators, until more predation naive individuals are born or immigrate to the area etc.
Where do you see Macron saying payments are stopping? Why would we assume France would do the dumbest, most damaging thing possible rather than something easy and healthy, like monetizing a fiscal stimulus of direct payments?

Then what about all the other ones? Are we also suspending utility bills? Car loans? Property tax? Grocery bills?

Why should someone paying the same total amount in recurring expenses have more of them waived just because they happen to pay more in rent and less in transportation and utilities than somebody else?

Yes, it’s not easy to be productive with the current events unfolding into unknown directions(pandemic, financial, food, wfh, etc). I am not a WFH veteran and only recently started to work form home and so far I dont find it too easy. I’d say if I put in 3-4 hours of solid work I’d call it a day. If I happen to put in 8 consecutive hours of work, next day is ok to do less and relax more. I worked from home in the past and I found it to be horrible until I discovered that if i went to a public space like a Starbucks or other cafe things were a lot more bearable. Not sure how long this pandemic situation will last but Im already thinking I’ll be less productive than in the office because I have more privacy there than at home. I have a 2 year old so im kindof getting a break when not at home.

Also we live in a tiny one bedroom apt in NYC. Setup kindof sucks but it is what it is. I dont even have any external monitor so I struggle on a 14” lenovo laptop. The situation caught me completely unprepared...
For what it is worth, I've got checked for COVID-19 in Hong Kong with just cough and nothing else - no fever, no sore throat, no travel history and no contacts. The test was fully covered by my healthcare plan and I've paid zero money out of pocket.
Relationships are inherently transactions. Literally the defining act is transferring things between people, be those ideas, items, emotions, actions, etc.

Perhaps you mean that some people view relationships as zero-sum, that in any interaction someone is gaining at the other's expense. That is rather obviously incorrect, yet as a strategy serves social parasites well (so long as they remain a minority).

Ask HN: You're on lockdown what are you doing that's different?
Getting more work done, walking a ton, AND oddly enough gardening. What are you up to that is only happening because you aren't in the office?
Yes. Also, first home owner's grants increased prices. Reduced interest rates increased house prices. Perhaps the great covid-19 WFH experiment will (partially) undermine the housing geography monopoly.

Would socialist free housing, utilities, food, medical care, education might work better than UBI? What incentives would make capitalism provide them?

It is an actual concrete fact that in many (most?) cases the total cost of developing and owning an Electron-powered app is going to be lower than a real native desktop application given that you can reuse the same code/people/skills you already employ on your website and mobile app. Building the same UI n times is crazy.

Are you just complaining about that fact or actually suggesting that we ignore it and stand up against "resource inflation" as a matter of principle? I can't imagine a startup CEO going before their board with a slide deck and saying "We're making progress on a unified app experience across web and mobile that should reduce our development costs. We were going to do the same thing for desktop too, but then we realized that Engineering Excellence™ meant we had to hire a whole new team of developers. No, the app isn't performance constrained, why do you ask? Sure, everyone else is using Electron but everyone else is wrong."
I agree with this, but I'd like to add one more thing. No matter what you do, if you find that your code is hard to change, then change it so that it is less hard. Next time you visit it, change it again. Keep doing this until it is very easy to change the code. Write enough test support in your code that you can do this kind of work safely.

The fact that ICE has built concentration camps (as verified by scholars who study concentration camps) is a fact, not a subjective or political opinion. The fact that there are children in these camps, many being raped, some being tortured, is also a documented fact, not a subjective opinion.

These are well-documented facts that have been widely reported on in the mass media. You can find links to specific articles on my blog in the recent article about Microsoft and GitHub, if you wish to learn specifics.

The kids are in there right now, as I write to you.

Whether or not Microsoft's provisioning of services to the government is "legal" or not is not particularly relevant to the thread, but it is interesting that you bring it up, presumably as a defense of their behavior.

Again: This is not a partisan thing. At all. Your attempt to reduce it to such is inaccurate (and, tbqf, off-topic for the thread about Microsoft-the-corporation, as well as off-topic for HN).
