I see a few positions related to autonomy on your website. What kind of experience levels are you expecting? I can’t tell if those are 20+ years experience or entry-level.
I don't know how they measure up, but here are some alternatives:

I suspect he's better at economics than an entrepreneur with multiple failed businesses and four bankruptcies.
It seems obvious that we will have depression anyway, even if we "go back to normal" now: when everybody knows someone who died, and when hospitals won't help you because they are already full, people will stop planning for a vacation, and start saving money.

So the only realistic choice is (major depression) vs. (major depression + many people dies). There's no way out without economic turmoil now; the ship has sailed a month ago.
It came from Wuhan. Every other virus that comes from a place gets named after it. The WHO let the CCP and Xi manipulate them into thinking that actions that would embarrass the ruling Chinese elite were racist. The CCP is not the same as the Chinese people.

While it wasn't specifically called out, is this position on-site or remote?
For Drive-In Theaters, an Unexpected Revival
Imagine if a competent leadership partnered with companies to design and deliver test kits for the majority of the population. Just like a 23andme kit. Turns up at your door. Gets turned around. We have an actual idea of hotspots, and can design treatment plans. Making decisions with actual data. As opposed to this unmitigated shitshow.

I had to go to the hardware store to get protective gear for my wife, who is a doctor at a hospital with none.
Definitely worth trying! Just want to help you set expectations. :)
It seems to me that the root cause in all these things is a lack of appreciation for the manner in which people think. And further, that we (both our leaders as well as people in general) assign practically zero importance to this aspect of the problem. It seems to me that we almost don't even recognize that it's there (and here one must be careful: yes, if someone points this phenomenon out, we can all see it then - but change the topic of discussion to something else, and watch that knowledge seemingly vanish).

In this case, I propose that a better definition of the problem is: people disagree on which variable to optimize.

But neurotypicals don't think in terms of "optimizing a variable" (precise, logical thinking), for a given set of variables. Rather, they think in terms of what is "the right thing to do" (fuzzy, heuristic-based thinking), in a given situation.

System 1 vs System 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow#Two_sy...

Everyone "thinks" (see: recursion) they think in System 2 (conscious, logical), because this is what we perceive, in infinitely high resolution - it seems like what we think and believe is purely the result of disciplined, rational thought, but it is not. Not even close. And it's not just those who are less intellectually capable than us....it's all of us.

Now, it is obvious of course that the degree to which each individual person suffers from this will vary significantly. If we had a means of measuring this, this would give us a metric of the variance of this phenomenon between people at the personal population level. I would call this the relative variance of X.

But there's another metric that is far less obvious: the ~absolute variance - this metric compares variance not between the peoples of Earth, but between them and a purely rational, emotion-free actor.

It seems to me that the second metric would be an extremely interesting thing to know, and perhaps extremely useful. But alas, we have no data source. I wonder though: might there be a way to come up with an estimate that is plausibly accurate?
Thank you. I'm a scientist (work on some AI tech that isn't directly applicable to the covid fight) and it makes me realize how critical research is to our society and species. I am trying to up my personal game professionally.

I'm also trying to develop acceptance. I have seen things over the last few days that I never expected to see in my lifetime (seeing all food items, thermometers sold out, etc.). As technology professionals, we are so lucky. I realize this so clearly now and won't take it for granted.
Oh yes they have been impacted. Look at S&P 500.

It’s just that this time EVERYBODY is being impacted, including the rich. And their incentives are to restart the market as fast as possible. If you look at the Spanish flu of 1918, the economy was barely impacted because a worker’s life didn’t matter as much back then.
Nothing about this entire paragraph makes sense.

>After canoeing back from Ryan Island, mother and son got well and truly lost. At some point during their 18 miles of hiking, they lost the trail. In their genuine terror—it was, by then, the middle of the night—they realized that their best shot was to find the coastline, since following that was guaranteed, eventually, to get them back to the lodge. Finally, they found the park ranger’s house, and had no choice but to knock on his door until he woke up. They didn’t know it, but they were still 10 miles from the lodge, and would have missed their flight off of the island had they not been driven back.

It looks like a 1/4 mile portage and maybe 1 1/2 mile paddle to Ryan Island from Malone Bay.

They were taken by a water taxi to Malone Bay. Why would they be walking back to the lodge without their canoe?

Assume that, for some reason, they were walking back and were going to come back for their canoe later. Seems an odd plan but let's go with it. Why would a park ranger have a house somewhere 10 miles away from the lodge (which puts it at pretty much the opposite end of the island).
Neoliberalism is a death cult. Look at its high priests demanding sacrifice to Moloch! The vast majority of economic activity is absolutely useless to maintain essential supplies, infrastructure and services. Very few people have to work to keep society intact while we ride out the pandemic. Recession caused by a drop in activity is easy to fix provided you manage debt obligations in the interim. That can be a delicate dance but it is well within the means of modern capital.

All of these problems are ideological. You see people in these threads lately who literally cannot imagine anything possible outside of the status quo and are willing to sacrifice the vulnerable to get it back. If you break the facade that debt obligations are a moral obligation and not a social construct whose relevance in extraordinary circumstances is marginal, a central pillar of free market ideology collapses. At this point I'm not sure if it's a charade being pushed to its absurd extreme or if the ruling class and their sycophants' brains are completely hollowed out by ideological brain worms.
The HN crowd is not a representative sample of the market. People here on HN will hate for a day or two, then they will turn their anger and cynicism to another cause, therefore that name will stop being a source of confusion :) Seriously, a few days from now noone will complain anymore.
It's hard not to take a side when you see something to totally and utterly idiotically "managed".
Its not the actual individuals - its the culture it creates, "HA! We caught you, you dumbass, here's 2hrs of training". This means people are afraid to report or take ownership over looking out for phishing as it creates no benefit for them, its just there to make the security team smug.

Having been part of and designed these campaigns before (with open source options like https://getgophish.com/), there is no way to report as phishing or reward users who detected but therefore didn't interact with it. This means in your example - did the other 81% just not open it, ignored it, or actively thought it was phishing? These are key metrics a company needs to know their potential attack surface.
Ah, you're right. I don't see programmers defining the operators that way very frequently for one reason or another, but perhaps I just need to be exposed to more code bases.

Oh I wasn't suggesting anything against the quality or content of your course - perhaps I misunderstood the comment I replied to, but I took it as:

> High schoolers are really just doing some web course and then getting data scientist jobs?

so my response was:

> No - or at least this isn't evidence of that - the author is a postgraduate student and the target audience appears to be other graduates/university students.
Covid-19 and Network Medicine
> On the other hand, it doesn’t take much time to mince garlic, and it tastes a lot better than the stuff in jars.

If I'm using canned and pre-cut veggies, then minced garlic means I don't even have to take out the cutting board.

I agree, fresh-minced garlic tastes way better. But pre-minced garlic is "good enough" in most cases.
You seem to be aggressively avoiding any critical thinking, so here's a thought game for you to play:

You have two choices:

1: 0% chance of dying from Covid-19, but you lose your job, you're evicted from your home, and have no clear path back to normalcy for the foreseeable future.

2: 3% chance of dying from Covid-19, but you still have a job, a home, and a fairly normal life.

This is the choice being made for millions of people in the world without their input. It's not so black and white as you want to make it out to be.
Interesting but this usecase doesn't seem to be specifically addressed.
Show HN: Peoplelogic – Quantifies the employee experience as SMBs go remote
the death count is also accelerating and is not subject to that effect
Again, with "quality" versus "quantity" it sounds like you're saying that there could be a lower quantity of people (some people die) in order to increase the quality of life for others.
This was my immediate thought as well. The obvious benefit, and the thing that I think holds Tuple back the most - is that Tuple only supports macOS. That, and they don't seem to have taken the pandemic as an opportunity to lower prices at all.
Political social justice warrior friends: ASSEMBLEEEEEE
Just to address the naming issue — we (myself and the other engineer, that comprise the entire Screen team) honestly have not used GNU Screen for more than 5 years, and didn’t even remember it existed until today’s post. I’m sorry for the oversight, but this is the point of a public beta — to help us unearth issues we may have overlooked ourselves!

I’m open to finding a new name — in fact, a few days ago, I had reached out to Slack to see if they’d be open to letting us use the Screenhero name since they’re not using it. If that doesn’t work out, and and there’s still significant distaste for the name, we’ll change it. 99.9% of the time we’ve spent to get here has been on the product, getting it to work on all the platforms it supports, and making sure it’s performant and fast. The 0.01% of time we’ve spent on getting our name and domain is something I’m happy to revisit before our GA release.
There are multiple assumptions I see here.

First:
Country as a concept is relatively new. There were Empires and/or Kingdoms.

India as a country is created by British, but that's just about word. India as a big empire existed under many kings.

Ashoka Empire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashoka
Maurya Empire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurya_Empire

Note that edicts mentioned in the above wikis were found outside modern India as a current country.

Second:
It's not just the size that matters always, it's about unifying culture. In India, some kings worked in cooperative manner and did not enter wars. For example, in Southern India history, Hari Hara Bukka Raaya (of Karnataka region) did not face trouble with Tiruvankur Empire in cooperative model. At the same time, we had a continuous war between Cholas and Pandyas.

As recently as 800 years ago, Adi Shankara established four mutts in four corners of India. It would not have been possible if people/kingdoms were not united.

Just to give you another perspective, how easy it is to transfer the culture, rituals for generations in entire sub continent if it were not united in minds.

Most unfortunate issue with India is, history is convoluted on both sides. Extreme hinduists expanded original Mahabharatha to double its size, British sympathizers have masked the co-opearative India.

I also keep hearing that it's because of British that we have industry concept. India was the one of the best ship building industry, one of the best clothing industry before British or Europe even can imagine.

Please read Indian history by non-British and their company.

Another unfortunate thing about history is, Cholas and Pandyas empires are not covered much. They spread outside subcontinent, not saying it's great, but it's just the history to be knonwn.

This is a definite troll post but lets analyze. You posted a single source for a pretty non-sensical comment. The link posts to a study by the Walk Free foundation - a foundation owned by an Australian billionaire who made his fortune in mining and who once ran a 38M AUD campaign to subvert a government imposed tax. Ironically this foundation publishes a Global Slavery Index. Thank you for the free education.
Tried to install on Arch. Excited for to test the product(loved screenhero) but the installation is a pain. Would be great if there was a AUR package.
Was "really interesting" sarcastic? If you found lnav to be interesting, I don't understand how you'd fail to see how it's relevant.

lnav is a mini ETL tool, which, like OpenRefine, aids in transforming data from various formats to make it more useful. They're in the same space.
By my estimation, most elite media, academia, and other epistemological institutions retained a strong sense of professional integrity prior to ~2012. They certainly had their biases, but they took some care to veil them. This change felt pretty distinct and abrupt to me; before the sort of overt partisanship was widespread among the general population, but these elite institutions were generally seen as above the fray. Afterward, we saw a steep trend toward tabloidism that climaxed early last year with the Covington Catholic affair (for the unfamiliar, the media doctored a video of some students to make them appear to be frothing racists to the effect that they were mobbed online and received threats of death and violence even from celebrities) but which has remained in a lesser but still heightened state ever since.
What do you think politics is about?
I implore you: do not use anything but Markdown in environments where software engineers will be writing and maintaining the bulk of the documentation. I once worked on the docs team for a large org that used rST/Sphinx. Engineers complained incessantly and it was a constant struggle to cajole them to keep docs up to date.

My experience suggests unambiguously that engineers will not take the time to learn a different markup format. They will spend hours or days or weeks learning a new language, deployment tool, protocol, library, etc. But in most cases they will simply refuse to spend one iota of time learning documentation tools. If you think I'm wrong, try making it your day job to get engineers to write rST (or Asciidoc or anything they don't already know).
They also have a much older population. Maybe saying that they had a "much better" response than the US is too generous, certainly compared to their neighbors of similar means, Japan has been incredibly slow to act and test.
National Health Service. Free at the point of use. No insurance. No "co-pays". No ultimate death panel of them all: provision based on financial or social status. A basic human need provided to all.

Ethical Dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_dilemma

Heinz Dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_dilemma
Actually, this pandemic can go away forever with a month of global lockdown, it's not like from now on people must stay at home forever or they will die. With good coordination, most things should be able to continue as normal. Many countries, rich or poor, have religious holidays that stop the economy for up to a week or two and nothing happens.

Besides, even if somehow the economy crashes it's not the end of the world. It's simply not a big deal as long as the society doesn't crash.

After a month of low economic activity, people will still be engineers or scientists or artists, the infrastructure will still be in place and the output it will quickly pick up.

It doesn't have to have any real costs, except maybe some goods to expire.
He was acting on this back during the impeachment scandal, while the mainstream media was still calling it "no worse than the flu", creating the task force on Jan 29, and getting called racist for the international travel restrictions days later.

It would be worse in the US than it is now if not for his early actions.
If you don't test someone for coronavirus prior to the death (or even after), it doesn't get attributed to coronavirus
Every other virus that comes from a place gets named after it.

Well, that's clearly not true. Swine Flu, H1N1 Pandemic, Ebola epidemic, SARS... the exception is MERS.

Aftenposten (a Norwegian broadsheet) published an opinion piece today arguing that the high number of deaths is partly due to the multiresistant bacteria that are endemic to many Italian hospitals.

Abbreviating: Italy has 11k deaths per year due to multiresistent bacteria. Severe pneumonia often/usually features secondary infections that need antibiotics. A large wave of pneumonia, particularly a form with which the hospitals have little experience, offers those multiresistant bacteria a Great Chance.

I understand "coronavirus" isn't specific, but why not just use that? Nobody this year will be confused what is being talked about. And if another coronavirus comes around, it will end up with a different commonly used name. Hearing "Chinese virus" the first time made me think first of a computer virus, then some brand new virus I wasn't aware of, and then finally realizing it was another term for the coronavirus.
I'm more of a <p>&nbsp;</p> kind of guy. Frontend is all a hack anyways
do you have links to reading about these? I'm curious but can't figure out search terms to find them myself
Is that because you've picked a side and want people to blindly follow your side?

It's not so cut-and-dried as my make it out to be. Not fixing the economy means more people out of work and unable to provide for themselves. That means more death. It doesn't matter which way you choose, if you go all the way that direction, people die who don't have to.

The real question here is how to best help the most people. There isn't a simple path to that.
The WHO guideline has changed since 2015 (https://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/notes/2015/naming-new-d...) and all the virus discovered after has been named differently, I am not sure if anything was "manipulated" unless we think CCP knew this was going to happen 4 years earlier.
It's a real dilemma, and it's forcing uncomfortable questions about how many dollars a person-year of life is worth.

We can avoid this terrible trade-off by realizing it's a false choice. We don't have to trade lives for GDP. There is a third option.

We could take a lesson from Singapore, Taiwan and Korea.

We could test millions of people, even those with no symptoms. We could aggressively isolate the positives, and allow the negatives to get on with life, with common sense disinfecting, physical distancing and universal mask wearing.

There is a path out of this dilemma, but in the US it's pretty difficult to execute in the absence of national leadership, with every neighborhood, town, city, county and state left on their own to figure this out.

Yep, one of the investors is a guy who has made $25m from investing in similar companies (and ran his own).

Scamming institutional investors isn't unusual. I know the lead investor on the deal is one of these PE/VC bubble firms that sprung up in the last ten years. But there are people involved who are definitely not stupid.

Also, the company is most certainly not a scam. Again, I heard about them years ago, and they have a legitimate business selling to consumers (i.e. it is fairly straightforward to check if the business exists).
Spanish flu did not come from Spain. Names are arbitrary, in a sense. Attaching a place name to a virus serves no useful purpose.

I have heard nobody call it the “Wuhan Virus”. There is no good explanation for this name other than the desire to attach stigma to China.
If your company can't survive several quarters without fundraising, you probably haven't found your product-market fit and the value you're providing is probably suspect, in my opinion.
Maybe we shouldn't name diseases after places? It inherently associates the name of the place with the name of the disease - nobody would travel to Castle Anthrax. A geographically- and culturally-neutral name is the most appropriate.

Moreover, most diseases have symptomatic names (scarlet fever) or generic names (influenza). Keeping this in trend would be in line with the 2015 WHO recommendations.
We will also accept Chinese Virus.

Or Winnipeg Virus.
Others cancelled what was supposed to be happening now. The Olympics were still in the future. It seemed reasonable to wait until there is sufficient evidence that things won't be back to normal by then.
I think he wants to ensure he can take responsibility for the market rebound. If and when it happens, people will more likely attribute the rebound to him if he takes decisive action. And, if the market doesn't fully rebound, he wants to have an excuse. In this case, he'll be able to say "I told you we should have restarted the economy sooner".
SARS and N1H1 were not named after where they were from. Kind of revisionist to say "every" other virus is named after the country of origin.
Are you seriously blaming the formation of Pakistan for Modi's anti-Muslim policies three generations later?
