Everyone else thinks something nice and utopian would happen, but my guess is that "working five years at a shit job" would become the new "getting a bachelor's degree in pretty much anything" that employers would look for as a way to prove conscientiousness, when hiring for the high-paying jobs.

Anyone wanting to make more than UBI pays out, would have to first "do their time" in the sucky jobs, in order to get the "credential" of having done so. It'd be a generalization of the concept of internships, where companies would admit that—like with university—where you interned, and what you interned in, doesn't actually matter, so much as the fact that you interned somewhere doing something.
It would be helpful if you can explain why. What makes for a healthy online community in your definition and how does Metafilter meet that?
Because Taiwan didn't have a chance to handle such mass infection (which is better than having it of course), so it is not a good model to follow for western countries which are already in a hell.
What's the half-life of aspirin in the bloodstream? Probably less than a day, which would significantly increase the dose required to maintain those concentrations.

It seems like this might merit further research as a treatment for severe cases, but it's far too dangerous to be a prophylactic for healthy people.

(And that's all assuming these results on other coronaviruses apply to the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.)
I hope the confluence of this administration, plus this pandemic resulting in this piss-poor federal response, is something we'll never see again in our lifetimes.

I'm really glad somebody is stepping up to the plate in the meantime. Every bit counts.
I think HN is one of the better communities I've participated in.

A few reasons I can see:

1) It's text- and hyperlink-based. Multimedia forums become meme recycling centers.

2) It centers discussions around submitted links. This avoids endless, pointless discussions about the forum participants themselves.

3) The submitted links focus on technology and business issues, which attract more serious participants. There is no random board.

4) Moderation is professional rather than community based. Voting has an effect but can be overridden.
What I find interesting about some of these topics is that they vary by time of day. Which likely means they vary by region. E.g. you can make a comment critical of Google and during the night (in the US) get a ton of upvotes, and then during the day get downvoted to hell. There is more than one hivemind in play on HN.
You could just install their native app which is available for Linux as well and just works. It's also a real native app and not the usual Electron-based crapware.
> respect for other members, maturity, empathy, self-awareness, strong moderation, and a diverse enough set of views from participants to make conversations well-rounded and thought provoking.

I agree with these criteria (except "thought provoking"). Mostly I expect to be able to learn something from some of the comments, and I don't want to lose my time with political debates, flame wars and trolls. I think HN works pretty well for that (better than any other forum I know), which is why I stay.

I agree it's somewhat insular and US-centric (as expected from an English language forum). It reduces the set of views and some opinions may be hard to express. But overall, I feel it's reasonably balanced, and it's possible to have "non standard HN views" if they fit the guidelines (they may not receive a lot of upvote, but they shouldn't have negative vote count). Besides a lot of the articles are technical so it's usually possible to avoid ideological discussions.
This is why I often, and loudly, make the point that Hacker News is a great reflection of SV at large. It is also not the only example.

The indictments here regarding perceived expertise outside of one's lane are not necessarily indictments of Hacker News. Hacker News reflects its constituency, a large number of whom unconsciously feel that software engineering expertise is a gateway to understanding other disciplines better than those actually practicing them. Just throw some code at it, right? Misplaced competency in far-ranging topics thanks to software engineering and VC exit is only validated by, say, essays written by two very famous people here that get a clap circle every time they're posted.

I've studied this effect in my own life (I am far from immune) and I think it's because software engineering, and architecture especially, gives one a systems approach to thinking. It feels natural to apply your systems thinking to all of the problems in the world that look like they need a system. The problem is that the world is a plethora of imperfect variables, and what seems to be a "simple" system to fix the world in the eyes of a Ruby developer lacks the nuance to understand all of the reasons things are the way they are. Ironically, those same engineers often perceive the danger of a wholesale rewrite of code which discards the same exact hard-won nuance in their own system.

My life got immeasurably better once I was banned from this community and exited SV. I can assure you that the summaries on N-Gate and such, no matter how much shooting of that messenger is expended by people who believe themselves to be right, reflect how this site, and SV at large, are perceived outside of the community. Yeah, all that venture capital and world-changing hubris and "software will eat the world and give us flying cars" thinking, and here we are with half the world rotting on Facebook and the other half showing up on ClearviewAI.
a) implies competency
b) where's the profit? U.S. is a country where solidly 1/3, with enough political capital to prevent alternatives, believe that healthcare is a product not a right

(another 1/3 don't care because the system doesn't affect them, until it does)
Ask HN: Does the CEO need to set the strategy or can a co-founder do that?
I'm CEO of a startup and at the moment, one of my co-founders is owning product strategy. He is responsible for defining what the company will be doing for the next few months to accomplish our goals.

This is starting to get touchy because he's starting to feel like he is doing the CEO work. Because I'm the only engineer, I'm also in effect CTO, which leaves me less time to read/focus on the strategy and more time for him to do so. I still manage fundraising, legal, taxes, etc.

Is this normal/healthy, or will this inevitably lead to issues? Does anyone have a similar split?
This comment misunderstands the basics of how we manage HN to benefit YC. People naturally assume the worst, but it's important to know how HN actually works, because we're luckier than that here.

The way to maximize HN's value for YC is to have HN be as good as possible, where 'good' means gratifying intellectual curiosity. That's what makes the community happy, and the community is what's valuable about HN. Since a happy-community HN is the most valuable-to-YC HN, that's all we try to optimize for. HN is in an odd sort of sweet spot on the internet where the way it can best serve the business interests of its owner is simply by being as good as possible. We don't have to juice engagement, pump numbers up, and so on. We can just be 'bookish', something pg used to say he wanted for this place. Like I said, we're lucky that way.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

So no, we don't focus on promoting startups or keeping discussions about YC startups as positive as possible. (There are plenty of negative ones. Just look in on any Airbnb thread.) The community wouldn't be happy if we did that, nor would it be good for intellectual curiosity, so we don't. We do use moderation as a counterweight against predictable indignation in general (on any topic). But we do that kind of moderation thing less, not more, when YC or YC startups are involved—see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

There are three formal things that HN does do for YC: job ads for YC startups (which appear on the front page and then https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs), Launch HNs for YC startups (which appear on the front page and then https://news.ycombinator.com/launches), and usernames of YC alumni appearing in orange to other YC alumni. Those are definitely special privileges. We do that as a way of giving back to YC in exchange for funding HN. But we keep them very delimited and explicit. I really need to add this to the FAQ.

“Here's what a healthy online community has: respect for other members, maturity, empathy, self-awareness, strong moderation, and a diverse enough set of views from participants to make conversations well-rounded and thought provoking.”

These are all the reasons I love HN.

I don’t know of anywhere else that approaches it from those perspectives.

I’d sincerely love recommendations for more like it, tech-related or otherwise.
Unless you gave "consent" in your employment contract, or agreement to the companies employee handbook, AUP or similar documentation. This sort of "agreement to monitoring" is common in a lot of corporations today.

Please don't use your company issued hardware/software/network for something not-work related ... and something you wouldn't feel comfortable sharing with most of your colleagues. There is already a plethora of monitoring going on out there.
>It's ridiculous that Google has to

It doesn't have to. This is a choice Google is making on how it wants to conduct charity.

>The federal government should be providing interest-free working capital and guaranteeing the sale of every glove and mask

Sale at what price? It has to be bounded or else it sounds ripe for fraud (people are monsters).

> anyone can produce.

So is the loan for anyone that wants it? Or just for companies that have proven they can make gloves and masks? If the former, what stops people from just using the loan to fund salaries while making a ritual display of making masks for a few months and then declaring bankruptcy after collecting salaries during that time?

The article mentions RNA implying that this is the PCR test not an Antibody test. False positives exist with the PCR test. Information I could find suggests the primary cause is sample contamination. So running the test multiple times through different labs and clinicians is an obvious workaround.

Realistically, apart from G Suite access for remote work, they don't actually have much to offer.

That being said, Google ad spend is a huge chunk of marketing budgets, so it probably will help the overall bottom line of these businesses a fair bit.

Alberta used to be a cattle province[1][2], before the petro-firms trampled all over farmer rights, and imported a million people to work the tar sands/support the people who worked the tar sands.

Just because you've destroyed the ring, you can't really go back to the Shire, but Alberta's choices in the 21st century are either a return to agriculture, and mass emigration, or a transition to exporting professional services.

[1] Ironically, while the price of oil plummets, the spot price for beef is up 20% since the start of this crisis... Although, the price of beef futures is dropping a bit.

[2] Edit: I'm aware that agriculture employs a small number of people (1.5-2% of the population, but so does oil extraction - only 0.3% of the population directly works in the tar sands - everyone else supports them.) Like any other industry, it has a large supporting industry of suppliers, truckers, etc. It's not nearly as lucrative as oil, but it's a living.
Yes.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Wasn't the same said after 9/11 and the patriot act? I'd guess it was just a tin foil hat conspiracy to think several three letter agencies would use the provisions from the patriot act to track pretty much all communications? You can't just accuse people of being conspiracy theorists over and over again and tell them that this time would be different because... Reasons? Also, who needs martial law when you can just do the same with duly passed laws?

Ugh, you're right...
I lurked around HN for a long time before making my first comment. It's the first community that made me realize the potential and extent of massive misinformation on the Internet. It also raised my awareness about my own biases and common fallacies. But I personally have never had a sense of "community" from these parts. I value the information and discussions because it's rare on the Internet to come across a group of people that are so focused on keeping each other in check when it comes to facts. It's full of contrarians. It's like an automatic mental mechanism for many here. Articles and comments are challenged sometimes seemingly as a simple intellectual exercise. It does force you, the spectator to realize that the coin truly has two sides (sometimes more). The bs filter on HN is also relatively high, when compared to other places on the Internet. As you can expect, that leaves little room for the warm and fuzzy tolerance that one has to display in a friendly community where people's beliefs are respected. The "well, actually" is strong in HN.
Thanks for the heads up :)

The mail in the post is working though, I was victim of a poor copy paste! But we've setup a new one to make sure there's no room for doubt: portostartup2020@gmail.com
> Why is strong moderation part of a healthy online community

Membership criterion is central to maintaining the competency level of the members. And competency on the topic (along with intellectual honesty) is the single most, perhaps only, important component to a useful discussion: It would be insanely destructive for the New England Journal of Medicine to publish every single thing it ever received with equal weight in massive weekly tomes.

Moderation acts as competency monitoring to a degree.

The problem with literal membership is that it precludes autodidacts, people new to the field and people who can't be bothered with a complicated process for joining. Thus unrestricted membership with moderation. And indeed on reddit, the highest quality subreddit, /r/science, is the one most aggressively moderated

For fact based, purpose driven venues, if you believe you were censored because of your opinion, you should not have posted an opinion in the first place. That's certainly how it works in the workplace which is how some people need to use the web.

There can be unlimited venues where partially informed people post their opinions, maybe we can call them "healthy" or not. But some people want to work on problems that actually do require knowledge and should not have to have their discussions constantly vandalized. A "functional" venue one might say.

You can still turn it off by heading to settings and turning it off there (both WiFi and Bluetooth).

It turns the functionality off completely, and stays off until you manually turn it back on.

In control centre it only partially turns off. But that’s not unreasonable as many people don’t understand how many feature rely on Bluetooth. They would probably get annoyed when the stop working, just because they wanted to quickly disconnect some headphones.

Except this person doesnt seem to have been able to give informed consent, which is what German Law is actually looking for. European employment law is much more on the side of employees than in the US, where your comment's nihilism would make me guess you're located... Most GDPR infractions given have been around this exact sort of noncensensual recording and I think the GP comment should be contacting their data protection office or seeking guidance from their company CPO.
Yes, when the time comes, (but only when the time comes), small business are going to need to tell their customers that they are back and available. Ad spend is a major expense for small businesses like restaurants and small boutiques, and not having that expense will be a big help to getting these companies operating again.

But Google is doing a lot more beyond that:

"A $200 million investment fund that will support NGOs and financial institutions around the world to help provide small businesses with access to capital.... This is in addition to the $15 million in cash grants Google.org is already providing to nonprofits to help bridge these gaps for SMBs."

I have at times worried this crisis could be used to cement our transition to a Corporatocacy. There has been a huge number of roles that the government SHOULD be performing in at least a partnership that appear to be simply being fulfilled by private corporations. On one hand, while i'm glad to see some real leadership, I worry about the long term ramifications.
Well, the issue isn't just that Apple doesn't put an end to it, it's that Apple doesn't let users toggle this sort of thing off. I think most HNers would say the best solution is for Apple to require apps get permission to do this sort of thing, and let the user decide if they want to have data sent back to FB. There needs to be transparency and a chance to opt in or or at the least to opt out.
> a place so deep that its exterior pressure would feel like having five jumbo jets parked on your chest

I had to check the maths on this, but it looks good:

- My chest (upper torso, diaphragm to shoulder blades) is about 30cm * 40 cm, or one eighth of a square meter

- The sub goes down 35,000 feet, or 11,000 metres. So that's 1,400 cubic metres of water above my chest. Water is virtually incompressible even at that depth, so that weighs 1,400,000 kg.

- An empty 747 weighs 373,000 pounds or 170,000 kg [0]. At maximum takeoff weight, up to 400,000 kg [1].

That means the equivalent of between 3 and 8 jumbo jets above my chest.
