I'd have to think about it more, but if feels overly complex. You've essentially taken the idea of a DMZ network and put it in an individual computing device.

DMZ networks are hard to get right and hard to admin, and almost always end up getting some sort of exception for certain business needs.

Asking a user to admin that, or having no admin at all, feels almost impossible.
Should have been 4 bullet points:

1) The Federal government should create and fund a National Health Organization for single payer universal healthcare for all citizens.

2) Workers affected by job loss due to covid-19 will receive 1:1 income replacement without affecting benefits for 6 months or until employment is reinstated.

3) The Federal government will assist and fund efforts for all states to complete a shutdown limiting movements and tracking suspected cases of covid-19 during and after complete testing.

4) No Federal money is to be spent on corporate bailouts. Low interest loans are available to those companies in exchange for agreement on how money will be spent.

Yes, it does say that.

It's called glycolysis, and isn't at all exotic. All animals rely on glycolysis when energy requirements outpace oxygen availability.

This little sucker obviously adapted to an environment with little available oxygen and lots of ATP. So the resource gain from losing superfluous stuff outweighed the need for aerobic metabolism.
I don’t believe this is the draft bill for the stimulus. This is a bill in the House of Representatives, whereas a different bill is in the Senate and my understanding was that the Senate Bill is the basis of ongoing negotiation.

We need to look forward here. It's way too early for a retrospective.

And let's have some humility here. No matter what such a retrospective shows, it's pretty hard to learn any real lessons from this kind of thing. We will almost certainly just overfit our institutions to fight the next coronavirus; I doubt we will better at handling crises in general.

It's still possible that the US will have a reasonable outcome. Let's do what we can to make that happen and make use of our advantages. More cars and less public transport may make physical distancing more effective.
> Take a moment to appreciate what just happened here - I downloaded a Windows build of Zig, ran it in Wine, using it to cross compile for Linux, and then ran the binary natively. Computers are fun!

> Compare this to downloading Clang, which has 380 MiB Linux-distribution-specific tarballs. Zig's Linux tarballs are fully statically linked, and therefore work correctly on all Linux distributions. The size difference here comes because the Clang tarball ships with more utilities than a C compiler, as well as pre-compiled static libraries for both LLVM and Clang. Zig does not ship with any pre-compiled libraries; instead it ships with source code, and builds what it needs on-the-fly.

I think you’ve also misread the original text:

“seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site”

Whenever the user interacts with your page then the clock gets reset to 7 days, also the clock only runs on days the user uses Safari.
I’m curious... did GS already have those masks for some reason or did they purchase and then donate them? I thought the masks were is short supply so I’m surprised if a non-health care org was able to purchase 100k masks recently.
It doesn't. The government is spending money it doesn't have. This is common practice that occurs regularly, but never in principle so large.

The US government spends far more than it generates in revenue, which is called a deficit. The deficit is typically financed as debt and that debt becomes a financial instrument capable of restructuring, private ownership, and refinancing as secondary debt (debt on an existing debt).

Have you considered that people are looking at you not because they want to shame you, but because they're trying to determine if you're sick and they should be extra careful around you, e.g. don't touch anything you've touched, etc?

If the guidance so far has been to only wear a mask if you're sick, it seems reasonable to assume that someone wearing a mask is more likely to be sick than average.

I will do some reading, but it is my thinking that they had stockpiled them, pre-crash. Will update.

to be explicit, GS has no other purpose to stockpile other than they anticipated... better than hospitals.

EDIT: There are a few stories saying the stockpiled pre-crash. Though some claim they had them since the swine-flu epidemic in 2009. Given the read I had on how the markets might respond, and how much information there was screaming that China's economy had stopped (for example I couldn't get circuit boards etc)... I would bet a lot of money they called this a few weeks before.

U.S. retailers plan to stop paying rent to offset virus closures
Hi! There are no stupid questions. I wanted to make sure I had the right answer, so I had actually just spoken with my manager about this yesterday.

As of now, in order to ensure legal compliance, we work through another company for hiring outside of where we're officially incorporated. Because of this, it's just too expensive for us to hire people elsewhere.

This is beyond the timezones and other logistical issues, of course.
There's a high likelihood that we see a resurgence of COVID-19 this fall right around the same time that the general election is supposed to take place. Not including measures to ensure election integrity would be malpractice on the part of any who cares about the validity of the election.

Also, let's be clear about "pork-barreling" here: Mitch McConnell tried twice to force through a bill that would have included a $500 billion slush-fund to be doled out by the Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, with no functional oversight.

But God forbid we get early voting and vote by mail this fall.

These problems are not due to an "administration". The rot of American institutions is deep. The competence and coherence of the entire American civil service and civil life has fallen precipitously in the last 20 years, and, in part because of their irrational fixation on this administration, people still cannot wrap theirs head around the fact that problem is in personnel and structure.

The CDC botched the development & rollout of a pretty simple PCR assay. The CDC happily participated in the 'don't test, don't tell' cover-up of the real # of stateside cases. The CDC and FDA were in territorial pissing matches with one another around test regulation. The FDA has hindered the effective deployment of tests and therapies at every turn. The entire journalistic chattering class was lecturing the American public no more than 2 weeks ago about how over-reacting to the virus or calling it the wrong name was more dangerous than the virus itself. The American economy spent the last 3 decades moving every single manufacturing facility and shred of know-how that could make PPE, ventilators, and pharmaceutical precursors overseas to save a few pennies, and wasn't stopped by the government. And we've now learned Congress was given an accurate assessment of the pandemic threat months ago and chose to... sell their private stocks.

This crisis is not going to result in happy little vision-less "to-do list" for future bureaucrats to improve upon, it is deepening the American people's awareness that the entire bureaucracy & elite class have been shown wanting and must be replaced in their entirety by massive reform of the federal civil service.

But saying that there was no proof for human to human transmission [0] in mid January when china was already going ramping up containement efforts was negligent imo. They were the only international observers on the ground and it's hard for the rest of the world to prepare itself when they tell you that you basically don't have to.

They shouldn't have just relayed whatever early study came out that was most likely trying to play down what was happening there. And if you add up their mysterious 'typos' and their other efforts to please/appease the Chinese government, the WHO comes out of this with little credibility left

Things generally don't improve because people get better. Things generally improve because bad people/groups/corporations/ideas fail.

Things improve when we endeavor to make things better and test our ideas and willingness to learn from mistakes, especially so if we prioritize pandemic preparation.

Punishing people for their mistakes lead to people hiding their mistakes, not trying their damn hardest not to make a mistake, especially since mistakes are probably inevitable in a complex and evolving situation like a potential pandemic.
Buried in here there is a nice bit about expanding access to Vote-By-Mail, so that's nice. I know the democratic party has been pushing for this to be mandatory and un-burdened by extra rules for a while:

"""

"""
Yep, exactly this. And quirks of glibc and friends make fully static compilation likely to produce odd failures, unfortunately.

I think one of the hardest things about working from home with the kids there is having to make the choice between parenting and working. Having done WFH with small kids at least one day a week for years, you have to change your and your kids expectations about what is acceptable and about what your relationship means when you are working.

You might need to do some "bad parenting"- allowing way more TV/electronics time than otherwise allowed, ignoring thing you might otherwise correct, and not engaging as the loving parent you want to be all the time. We've had to go this route in our household, and its been tough.

Enlist your first grader in care as well- my 2 year old LOVES following her brother around, and my first grader loves responsibility (to a degree). See if you can get your first grader to keep your toddler out of your workspace for an hour or two a day. If you have the space, extensively childproof an area where they need less supervision.

As for being a lead- one of my proudest accomplishments when I'm leading teams is to make them self-sufficient, and one of the greatest difficulties is letting go of work. At least in my world, the best teams have maximal authority and scope pushed to individuals. Can your team step up to do more on their own, especially the technical work? Possibly not, but I definitely wouldn't give up your lead position unless you find it necessary personally.

These are.. interesting... times. There are no perfect answers, and all answers require trade off and sacrifice. I hope I helped though.
>Why does the Fed create and spend 1.5T dollars to purchase worthless and arcane financial instruments, but never spend on public goods like housing, student education, public infrastructure

Because Fed is not Government, plain and simple, and has no mandate to do so. If you want spend on public goods, you need to elect people who will spend on public goods.
Mm, no I think what this shows that in just the same way as the future is uncertain (you don’t know which path you will observe an electron to take), the past is uncertain in the same way (you can’t know which path an electron took). They’ve just expanded that principle to a cosmic size (there are several past histories, diverging on the Planck scale, that lead to the same present day observations). That doesn’t mean physics is not reversible, it just means there isn’t a unique way to reverse it. Which, we already knew.

I think the average person, or at least the average internet commenter, is too ready to consider large sectors of the economy "malignant" even in the best of times.

But without debating which analogy is right, it does matter whether it's cancer or not. And if aggressive treatment of advanced cancer involves cutting out major organs and the patient will only survive a month longer at best, it makes more sense to assume it's not terminal cancer and act accordingly even if there's a chance.

If someone appears to have a seizure and/or falls down and passes out, it could be a stroke, they could have cancer that's metastasized everywhere, but you don't make that assumption when there are many easily treatable possibilities.
The US was weeks behind Italy in the initial spread of the virus. If the Chinese example wasn't enough to learn, at least what was happening in Italy should have been.

What’s the tech stack?
The last thing our world needs is more MBAs to optimize the soul (and every penny) out of every business that hires one in the name of broken metrics and short term profitability.

Arguably one reason we're in this current economic mess comes down to MBA style thinking - out entire economy is basically run with little in the way of reserve capacity, no doubt in part because MBA metrics don't measure for things like "responsibility" and "social good."

All GPU consumers in Windows (AFAIK even OS itself besides the bootloader) are userspace programs calling APIs hence userspace driver isn't a big problem.

Businesses are not like light switches. I encountered someone online today urgently pleading to just turn everything off in the country. I don't think the person understood that quite a few businesses cannot simply be flipped on and off like a switch and will instead simply never come back into operation once closed due to this crisis.

Another domino falls as O'Reilly shows how uncertain the business climate is becoming with all the daily changes. There will be more like this to come.

You don't know what you're talking about. Not even close. The H0 is now well below 1.0 in the most populous states. Stop fear-mongering. What's happening is severe cases are being identified but new cases in the future (would've be two weeks from now) aren't happening at nearly the same rates. The extreme shutdowns take time to resolve existing cases and for transmission to die out to almost nothing.

Paraphrasing Bill Gates speaking to Chris Anderson: testing needs to be comprehensive and enduring shutdowns long enough to work is the prescription for losing control.
One of the issues is that the initial CDC test was overly complicated.

>On Wednesday, under pressure from health experts and public officials, the CDC and the FDA told labs they no longer had to worry about the portion of the test intended “for the universal detection of SARS-like coronaviruses.” After three weeks of struggle, they could now use the test purely to check for the presence of COVID-19.

It’s early. I would expect massive waves of layoffs in May/June.

The delay of income tax and evaporation of sales taxes is going to break state and local government and you’ll see businesses with a lot of government business just die. Ditto with finance.
