>How do you balance/deal with "security shaming", which is proven to put you further at risk as an organization?

I've had this happen to me, not for phishing, but for the kensington lock thing. Probably not that common any more, at least not in the west, but some workplaces have aggressive laptop locking policies. Workplace tried this stunt of confiscating laptops that were not locked, and everyone had to meet some manager type person. It was completely asinine. This is a typical badge access controlled workplace with additional security personnel. The laptop locks were a total overkill.

Well I think this is a bad example in general, because unlike most businesses, success is actually a zero sum game in top flight sports. If somebody does good enough to earn a seat, it will always mean that somebody else did bad enough to lose theirs. It’s also not a very faithful characterization of Mercedes. They were seriously considering letting Bottas go last year, it was honestly a surprise that they kept him (and let Ocon go instead).

If you want to see what the same management style looks like with competitive drivers, you can just look at the last time Mercedes had two competitive drivers. That would be in 2016, when Nico Rosberg won the drivers championship with Mercedes. The relationship between Hamilton and Rosberg had become so toxic, that Toto Wolf himself admitted he had no idea how he was going to solve it. It culminated with Hamilton trying his best to hold up Rosberg in traffic in the last race of 2016, because Hamilton needed to keep Rosberg of the Podium if he was going to get the title. You can watch the highlights on YouTube with the team telling him to speed up, while he more or less just refused. The only reason any of that was resolved, was because Rosberg retired after that season.

This story is pretty much repeated in F1 history any time you have two people on the same team competing for the title. Last year LeClerc and Vettel fought so much, and so dangerously on track, that it actually led to both Ferrari drivers crashing into each other and retiring in one race (something which mirrors one of the most controversial crashes in F1 history, when one McLaren teammate crashed into the other at Suzuka in 1989). The entire season was also full of their drivers arguing on the radio about team orders. Then you have the other most dominant driver, Verstappen, who Redbull have been unable to find a suitable teammate for.

To specifically answer your questions, at Mercedes “win as a team” clearly always means “help Hamilton win”. It’s not possible to operate a team where drivers are not fighting for their seat, and history has shown it’s not possible to have a good team culture when both drivers are actually competing with each other for the title.

tl;dr The case fatality rate is usually much higher than the real mortality rate.

People and health professionals have pointed that out from the start and it should be hard to find anyone who doesn't know that by now.

Sure, you can use expected utility theory to calculate that. What result you get depends a lot on the monetary value you attribute to a human live, or, if you think that's better, on the value of quality-adjusted life years (QUALYs).

If you're particularly sociopathic you can also reverse-engineer the simple models used in order to find the value judgments that will give you the decision result you want. Just tweak the values for QUALYs, lower the estimates here and there, and the result is that it's better to save the economy (or vice versa, depending on what you want). Call me cynic, but I'm sure plenty of people around the world are doing that right now.

- The presumably CCP generated "US Soldier" claim has come later, and does not seem to be related to counter messaging the "China Virus language," except insofar as it might help continue to muddle US politics.

The closest thing to a credible voice with a somewhat contrarian view I've seen is John Ioannidis [1]. His comment was a bit provocative, but ultimately the main thing he was asking for was proper studies to have better numbers for the real mortality rate. Which would be a study with a random sample of the population where you test everyone and then follow up for a while to see how they do.

But asking for such a study is far away from the people asking to just let a few % of the population die because "it's for the economy".

> the real fatality rate could in fact be closer to 0.06%

If you take a look at Diamond Princess.

~ 4000 on board

* 712 cases

* 10 deaths

Gives a case fatality rate of 1.4%.

The average age onboard was ~60 years (don't know if it includes staff) which is definitely higher than average.
However, the two numbers (1.4% and 0.06%) sounds very far apart.
I don't think this is true.

The WHO published one number for case fatality rate. According to you, they should have published two (or more) numbers.

The reality of the situation is that epidemiologists use certain fixed constants to understand the virus as part of a very crude model. The WHO is and was providing a number for this model. In these models, the distinction you made is not captured whatsoever (thus "crude model").

The WHO got to its number based on averaging unreliable data. This has two problems. The first is garbage in, garbage out. The second is that this averaging is an unscientific method.

I get what you're trying to say though, and broadly agree. Epidemiology models, insisting on a single fatality number, are so crude they are nearly not useful for making predictions.

> The most of Redux-applications look alike. They have a similar file structure and reasonable test coverage. They use the same middlewares and same libraries to force immutability. The developers, who work on them, use the same devtools.

This assumption is not really correct in my experience - most of the projects I worked on use redux, but some of them use ducks/feature driven approach, some have reducers separate from components. Some use sagas, some thunks and rare examples use hooks/no sidefx management at all. None use immutablejs and some use immer to discard pain of doing deep {...oldState, field: {...oldStateField, val: newVal}}. What author describes is good advice though, the whole idea is you only keep actually global state normalized and use selectors to construct the representation you need.

I was a happy user of Terminal.app until I got a 4K display, which I run at scaled 2.5K, so effectively rendering 7.5K. With my Macbook Air 2018, this results for example in a FPS of ~13 when scrolling full-screen in Vim with Terminal.app rendering on a CPU, which is super annoying. Kitty brings this to ~35.
"Slower" is not a metric. Latency is, though, and Terminal.app is a top contender (and rips iterm2 to shreds, even in throughput, not that throughput matters in practice).

Please stop spreading cargo cult information dating from 10.4 days. Terminal.app has been great ever since 10.6.

Well ... He and Xamarin had to due to the iOS ecosystem and the language/library bindings they have to do there for .NET/C#/F# usage.

But aside of that, I think Migual appreciates good language design on high level languages. His original pitch for Mono for usage in GNOME was about productivity I guess not about .NET fandom. And Swift as a productivity language to replace Objective-C is surely an interest for him.

Event as a .NET fanboy (like me) you have to look what other languages are doing. So much good stuff out there.

I believe they are talking about numbers in the context of the US population and arguing about magnitude of deaths in those terms. I agree that there is room to disagree, but it is best to interpret the argument in the context in which they are making it. Part of the reason they are doing it in the context of the US is because of the political and economic nature of the current measures, which are drawn along national lines, even though the total magnitude on the world ignores national lines.
0.06% is hard to reconcile with 10 out of 712 cases on the Diamond Princess liner proving fatal.

Ask HN: How to setup SaaS deal to prevent downtime if provider goes bankrupt?
What are some ways to sign up a large customer to a SaaS agreement, in a way that can guarantee that if the SaaS provider goes out of business there would be no downtime for the large customer?

Some options we have seen/discussed:

- Software escrow.

- Customer owning the cloud accounts where the software is hosted.

- Customer buying joint ownership of the IP (with the contract stating that they have no access to resell etc.).

Does anyone have experience or advice on how these kinds of deals are set up?

> What won my heart is just how simple it is to import C code into Swift to bring the type definitions from a header file, and call into the C code transparently from Swift. This really is a gift of the gods to humankind.

If you like creating wrappers around C libraries, perhaps this is the most overlooked feature in Swift, called the 'ClangImporter'. Compared with Rust's bindgen, bindgen looks like a more complicated bindings generator even at the C level with you tweaking the options and other knobs to 'get it right' for your specific wrapper project.

This is before you even start to write a higher-level and more idiomatic wrapper and ClangInporter binds the C part to generate Swift functions for you by default. Similarly, Zig also has this too which is "@cImport" with the path to the header file as the input IIRC.

It also looks like Swift is getting C++ interop for this too. [0]

The court determined that in this case (on a marked pedestrian crossing where pedestrians have right of way) the bike driver broke the rules of traffic as he should have stopped before the crossing; and it did not determine that the pedestrians broke the rules of traffic.

So if the person lying on the road survived and the person driving the motorbike died, then it's plausible that the person lying on the road would be charged for manslaughter in order to determine the situation (I believe that in case of fatal traffic incidents involving more than one party, in Russia almost always a criminal investigation is opened) but would be found not guilty.
That happened around 2006? It’s 2 years after Beslan school siege, when terrorists took hostage 1100 children and 334 died. It’s a stupid thing to say, especially when country is still mourning and on high terrorist alert. Try making a joke at a US airport in 2003 that you have a bomb. I’m pretty sure you’d have weapons drawn on you in a second and ending up worse than spending 8 months in a jail.
> We should undertake immediate steps to evaluate the empirical basis of the current lockdowns.

I think there's not enough data available to evaluate if these lockdowns are justified. Especially the cost of the lockdowns are hard to assess. We won't know until it's over.

But even if the mortality rate is vastly over-estimated, it will be hard for a leader to justify that their country has twice the mortality rate as the neighbor country (even this rate is low, and even it a lockdown was avoided).

Besides, most countries are imposing a lockdown anyway, so "do like everybody else" is a safe bet for our leaders. Plus, the population asks for it.

If it does turn out to be devastating then those responsible won't face any consequences. When confronted with their weak response to the virus in any elections in the future the likes of Boris and Trump will counter that you're politicising the deaths of [thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions?] of citizens blah blah.
A large source of it is the vast majority of government agencies. Do you want to repair X in a state park? You are looking at the arduous process to cut through. Do you need to extend your project with government grants by a month or ran over 1% of the assigned budget? You would have a hell to answer for and months to spend in meetings that will well go over 1% in officer salaries. The vast majority of US government website is pure abomination. I had been receiving end of forced to use some of them and wouldn't wish that on anyone. Some of these websites built after spending well over 100s of millions of dollars.

Spain just recorded 738 deaths in a single day. We will certain know within a week of monitoring Spain and Italy as to who was right and who was wrong. It isn't something I would gamble on personally. I also don't see the act of a complete shut down as being more economically-damaging then a drawn out partial shutdown.

Also, the other side of the equation is said to be perfect, but as was shown the other day, a lot of elderly people are left for dead in their homes or retirement villages and not reported. Also, I don't know if all deaths in hospitals are checked for coronavirus.
The conclusion of the article isn’t controversial but the logic is incomplete.

Of course policy-makers should continuously evaluate whether or not shutting down a whole economy is worth it. Definitely we need better testing to understand the true number of infections.

But you can’t completely disregard current human responses when a) the condition can be fatal (game over, there’s no retry) and b) the virus can leave behind long-lasting damage.

In this case a purely quantitative argument based on fatality statistics feels myopic.

For sure agreed we need to find ways of gathering more and accurate information.
Isn't this what selectors are for?
People should understand that, but the media reporting has been absolutely atrocious. CNN even ran an article arguing that the reason not testing as widely was correlated with a higher reported fatality rate (as a percentage of cases) was because widespread testing reduced the fatality rate by simply reducing the number of people who got it, which is... not exactly the right conclusion, shall we say.

It's not like there's been a shortage of folks who happily multiply the CFR figures by 60, 70, 80% of the entire population and present this as the inevitable death toll of, generally, the actions of the political party they oppose.

One problem with this is that in the early stages of the spread you would have to run hundreds of thousands of tests daily in order to get statistically significant results. This is clearly impossible with the available lab infrastructure. And this is ignoring the possibility of getting false positives. Maybe it will be possible to get quantitative results with fast antibody tests in later stages, but at that point it is probably much too late to act.
