As someone who has recently seen a lot of freelance work as a "Remote Coach" for companies who aren't used to remote teams, I have the following observation: If you have trouble managing remote teams, you're likely not great at managing teams in general.

The largest part of my calls were not about remote specific topics, but rather general management topics like result-oriented management vs time management and how trust and alignment is foundational for motivation.

Not surprising in hindsight, but due to selection bias from working remotely for many years now, I'm used to companies who don't require spyware to get results from their team, and was quite taken aback at first.
Where have I seen this before?

Ah yeah... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgxZr6LLS34
> Is there was a way to show support for this cause as an Amazon customer?

Yes:

* During the strike, show solidarity by not crossing picket lines. Don't use the service, and don't patron the business for the duration of the strike. This is because during the strike, the workers that are filling in for the strikers are scabs and crossing the picket line.

* Spread the news, their demands, and encourage solidarity with these workers.

Strength is in numbers and solidarity. When that breaks down, the movement breaks down. It's why many States and companies do everything in their power to prevent the wage-earners from organizing effectively.
From what I've read it's stolen to order.

Super rich person really wants that particular painting to hang in a private room where they can enjoy it.

And they go through a couple connections for plausible deniability -- buying it from some kind of "dealer" they can "assume" is "legit", and the "dealer" then connects with actual criminals to steal it.

If ever caught (unlikely), the thieves and "dealer" take the fall, not the rich person. Also the rich person may be halfway around the world in a country where there's literally zero chance of being caught/extradited.

But the thieves and dealer are going to make a helluva lot of money, obviously, for the risk they're taking.
Just re-read the entire cantos after 10 years. Totally agree, it's one of my favorite epics and the ending was extremely touching.

If you haven't I recommend Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. It's a completely different kind of book, but it's a really good horror thriller that shows his range.
If you put "Van Gogh painting" in Google images, you have to scroll quite a bit to find anything in a similar style, except for a couple hits from current news pieces.
Shameless plug: A guy on my team wrote a Node.js library for validating messages against an AsyncAPI spec.

Michel Van Rijn was a 'famous' Dutch art smuggler. He explained that a lot of art was ordered. The extreme wealthy of the underground just buy it because they want it.

A Vice article about him: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ex5qj4/how-i-became-one-o...

Edit: the Vice article doesn't mention the thefts and looting. There are other sources for this.
It is also unclear if he really is a former smuggler.

Edit 2: The other reason is it's relatively easy to steal art. And most thieves focus on that part. The selling part is difficult and is also why a lot of stolen art is later recovered.
"This is clearly a manufactured crisis." no.
This is the same situation in the Caribbean and other areas that BookFusion was also built to address.

We allow schools and districts to launch their digital initiatives by allowing them to launch their private digital library and give options to distribute and give access to content for students and teachers both offline and online.

Students would be able to read and complete activities while offline which is later synced backed to the platform when internet connectivity returns.

Please send us an email at education@bookfusion.com if you know a school in a similar situation that could benefit from complimentary access to a platform like ours.
A lot of times these people are making well below minimum wage, and even that is a hilariously low number.

I imagine something like "number of items" or "number of bags" or "total weight/volume of order" is an input into the default tip formula.

Which makes sense, as the quantity is what actually matters to the delivery person.

Man, it sure would be great if we could decouple health insurance from employment like other reasonable countries. It would be a shame to literally have your existence threatened by absurd factors well outside of your control (like your employer unable to meet payroll due to a global pandemic).
For no particular reason, I'm imagining a secret code one could use to conceal news that would normally get filtered. Something more subtle than "There's totally NOT a global pandemic right now. Grandma is totally NOT dead. Wink wink."
It's not the same thing at all. Neither Debian nor Signal audit 3rd party applications in the way that Apple does, which is why neither Debian nor Signal play any runtime role in denying the ability to run a 3rd party application.

Apple's app handling process is more than just attaching signing keys. Which is partly why they want you to pay for it.
Sometimes even this fails, what can I say.

Ubuntu runs a certification program. I wish there was an independent party certifying hardware for Linux. And they looked into all the details, such as battery discharge triggering ACPI events, 802.11 functions supported by wireless card and things like that.
Somewhat misleading headline; they will be spun off in 2.5 years from WeWork.

It's good news... as long as they survive that long. WeWork is cratering, I hope it doesn't take Meetup with it.
Domestic abuse is always psychological, though it often is also physical.
A mask is a limited resource.

A mask is better spent on a sick person.

Therefore a healthy person should concede a mask to a sick.

Or maybe this is gonna be more illustrative:
Let's say you are a magicall 100% efficient authority. You have 1000 people on your hands and only 500 masks. What is the course of action that yields least amount of deaths? Yep, you lock away all the masks and give them away to sick people.

It is wartime logic - deaths are inevitable and if you shoot in the head people hoarding masks you will DECREASE total deaths.
From a quick overview I don't think VAP will be a more serious issue for the proposed device than the commercial ones.

The microbes would come from two sources: Inside the system (from a prior patient), and from the air supply.

The former can be mostly prevented by replacing the bag and the tracheal tube, because both are cheap and disposable. Then there are probably some connection pieces and those need to be sterilized or replaced between patients.

The air supply can be run through a relatively low-tech filter if absolutely necessary.
Once upon a time the Europeans even looted an entire continent and murdered many of the people that already lived there, named it America and said it was theirs now and went on to live there.

Or was that not what you were after?

I feel like "not using Amazon" doesn't actually do much because they there's no way to send the signal that you're not buying because of the strike as opposed to a million other reasons you might not be spending.

I think a more effective solution would be to keep buying like you normally do but if/when your service is worse due to being short staffed send a message to their support.
The time to oppose Orban would have been a few years ago. I'd like to think the EU would take strong action over this, but the unanimity requirements for situations like this make it a total non-starter.

The EU structure greatly reminds me of the weak Articles of Confederation adopted after the American Revolution (to be abandoned after a few years for a stronger federal government with the Constitution). It just doesn't work to have all sovereignty vested in constituent members of a government.
Welding masks already block UV. People get arc flashes when they make mistakes in using the equipment -- striking an arc with their helmet up, or someone else in the area striking an arc when they're not wearing theirs. Video goggles would suffer from the same weakness :)
Another option might be to read Wikipedia’s “Current events” page for pandemics situation in your country. It’s relatively concise, factual and up to date.

It’s useful also for non-pandemic times.

It's obviously bad PR to deny their claims right now, but I can't imagine this working. Sets a precedent that Amazon will go to great lengths to not set.
Van Gogh’s early work was mainly held in brown.

It was only after moving to France that he developed his iconic style.
honestly, i'm surprised that their demands are so few and so modest. i was expecting significantly higher numbers for the hazard pay portion of their demands.

i can't understand what might prevent amazon and instacart from assenting to these demands as soon as they have the logistical ability to provide the necessary items to their staff.

the national situation isn't permissive of corporations dragging their feet when essential services are down at the moment.

on the other hand, workers treated to a hopefully quick victory will not forget this when the pandemic ends. if we're lucky, the balance of power will shift to their favor.
Many women don't realize they're in an abusive relationship either. People in this situation often try to rationalize it "oh, he only hit me once, he's not really like that," or "oh, she only slapped me once, she's actually a good person." Try not to let your gender bias get in your way of seeing the truth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_against_men

There are plenty of sources listed here that you can follow up on, but most of the sources I've seen that actually take domestic violence against men seriously actually indicate that it is more common than domestic violence against women. Something like 60% of the instances of abuse are initiated by women.

The severity of the abuse is obviously much more skewed towards male aggressors though. Men are obviously bigger and stronger (generally), so they hit harder and can take more abuse before needing hospitalization.

Also, no one sympathizes with a man who is abused by his female partner. Not only do men feel emasculated, which can cause them to never report issues, but also people don't take them seriously. Did you know that in most states, regardless of who was the aggressor, the male in the relationship is always arrested? That's right, even if you call the police with visible scratch marks or bruises that were caused by your female partner, they will arrest you, not her. I understand that these laws exist because women often had no recourse or protection, but I think the pendulum has swung too far and men just don't have access to any resources or protection in the face of the law.
In December, China's influence caused the WHO -not- to report human to human transmission. This was despite the known infection of healthcare workers, and counter to the reports made from Taiwan.

Human-human transmission is one of the fundamental elements used to determine the urgency of an outbreak.
You are right.

There is no use requesting these things for a small group of marginalized people.

Until society provides them for everyone, it cannot tackle the problem of abuse.
Am I missing something from your rebuttal? Where are 'phone scanners, facial-recognition cameras, face and fingerprint databases and many others' in South Korea?
I don't care about price increases for non essential things, but the part that seems shameful to me is that, if I'm understanding this correctly, it also costs 3x or more to ship essential medical supplies now? That's the part I'm calling price gouging.
If on the other hand you said "I could work less," I would assume that (note the italics).
Off topic, but related to this...

I had, what I felt, was the best seat in the office at my previous job. We had an open office with short cubicles and standing desks, and the cubicles were arranged so that two people shared a small area with two desks/cabinets/etc.

For a while, it was wonderful. My "cube-mate" worked from home 4 days a week and only came in for meetings, and we had a window on one side and an empty desk on the other. It was about as great as an open office can be.

And then my manager moved into the cube nextdoor, and arranged his desk so that when he stood at his standing desk (which was most of the time), he was looking directly over the cube wall at me and my monitors. It made me very self-concsious and uncomfortable, and was (a small) part of the reason I left, TBH.
I'd make the same point for these - if you showed them to anybody on the street and asked them to name the artist, I don't think many would guess Van Gogh. They are quite different from the works he's known for.
So your saying that tax reductions and lowering the interest also have no economic effects because every last penny will be simultaneously be deducted from salary and go fully to increased rent/housing sales?
Medical professionals consider transmission through the air by small droplets like this to be 'Airborn Transmission'. See the page on the Johns Hopkins site[0], and the Wikipedia page on Airborn Diseases[1].

The difference between 'droplet' transmission such as flu and the 'airborn route' is just the size of the droplets. Infections flu droplets need to be so big they don't linger in the air very long. They tend to be projected ballistically and mainly end up on surfaces and spread by contact, while the smaller droplets such as the ones that seem to spread Covid-19 linger in the air and can be conducted via air flows such as ventilation systems.

Measles, which you cite as truly airborn, is also spread by small droplets and would almost certainly be captured by the 0.3 micron filters described in the study you seem to be referring to [2] that were used to scrub the air samples, the same fineness as N95 masks recommended for protection agains Measles.

As for "who typically offers this" I would argue that this isn't quite like a "normal" time. Many people are putting their health on the line to come to work which is not something that is normally part of the decisionmaking process for their regular wage. As a result of that increased risk and because of the huge demand for their labor a large increase in pay makes a lot of sense (even if we take the "combat pay" stuff out of the equation. Demand-alone would increase their wages)

Lead solder isn't really more dangerous than the soldering iron you're applying it with. And lead-free solder can poison you too.

The problems caused by lead are from it filling the environment, not touching tiny amounts. We'd probably get much more benefit by finally banning it in aviation gas.
I think they mean a database in the general sense and you mean an RDBMS.
I said something about how bad open offices are recently IRL to my girlfriend and was a little surprised when she said she likes them, given how hated they are on HN. But I think the key factor is that her work typically involves coordinating and collaborating with a bunch of different people throughout the day, pretty much the opposite of what I do as a remote software dev.

I think that open offices are bad for most of the jobs people on HN have, but are probably fine for certain others.
This article makes the point you were apparently making, that Go and Rust are created for very different purposes. The difference is in the framing: this article is not complaining about people posing a question, it's providing useful information to people who don't already know everything.
Waleed is awesome. I wonder why he didn't call it asyncapi-waleedator though :P
Regardless, HN prides itself on reasoned debate, and straw man/flamebait responses are against the TOS here.
> An accusation of domestic abuse would be taken far more seriously than an accusation of "being outside without a reason", I would think. Especially if you're a police officer, trained to respond to domestic violence calls, but never really trained about the seriousness of epidemic management.

Police not taking it seriously (in part, because it's viewed as wasted time because the accuser will so often recant even when the accusation is true) is an enduring problem with domestic violence, and police are very well trained to enforce well-defined public orders like curfews (which shelter in place orders are just a variety of) even if they aren't specifically trained for pandemics.
I'm happy for you, keep doing what you love in your free time!
> I feel like "not using Amazon" doesn't actually do much...

Whoever is fulfilling your order during the strike is a scab, and you're helping pay their wage. It is destructive to the strike.

It's about solidarity with the working people and helping with their demands.

The point is to not give money to businesses who workers are striking against.

> I think a more effective solution would be to keep buying like you normally do...

Doing this destroys the strike.
It's not that bad. Overhead is less than a full TCP encapsulation. I use it all the time
WeWork bought Meetup for $200 million end of 2017. I do not think any details were disclosed this time, but I guess the consortium paid way less.

It worries me that the Pro subscriptions are growing so much. Seems Meetup wants to focus on the enterprise market. Pro subscription are much, much more expensive than normal ones and do not offer many benefits for a normal organizor. Only if you want to target your group members outside of Meetup.
Given that DD also had a minimum they would pay, regardless of tip, that can also be stated as

- We will pay you $X

- We will make sure you make at least $Y

If you make the wording changes

- $X == <wait staff minimum wage>

- $Y == <normal minimum wage>

Then it becomes clear that this is exactly how restaurants work; with the caveat that it's per delivery instead of per hour.
As far as I understood it, the commercially available ventilators are too complicated to ramp up production quickly. Patents and regulation also complicate things.

This device doesn't have that problem. I can recognize most components as either off-the shelf or easily manufactured.

They are examples of traditional retail businesses that have adjusted well to the new world of online shopping.

They are also benefitting from another trend, which is that big-box stores in general are outlasting smaller stores. Another example would be Home Depot and Lowes thriving while smaller hardware stores fail. Shopping at a big box store is often more convenient than making multiple trips to smaller or more specialized retailers.
This is an American forum in all but name. For the rest, we feel like we're eavesdropping, occasionally mumbling here and there.
Maybe. Or they can just lose all trust instantly by claiming like the CDC, that they don't work. Now people who think will never trust the CDC ever again. Not sure what the WHO's wording was, but any organization not encouraging mass mask use cannot be trusted by anyone with a brain. Just because something isn't 100% effective, doesn't mean it's not effective. Only children and idiots think so. Unfortunately, we're surrounded by idiots.
Typically, very few industries are exposed to enough uncertain risk to warrant it. It's meant for workers who are exposed to an unusual level of risk compared to the job typically. The typical risk profile for delivery workers is robbery or animal attacks. I think it's reasonable to say that being exposed to people who may be carrying a deadly disease is unusually hazardous. Especially in cities with a stay at home order.
Sure the victim has to leave.

But do you know what happens when they do?

Obviously, shelters have to be advertised because otherwise people wouldn’t know about them.

But it’s pretty obvious that the presence of ads for shelters says nothing about whether society is actually providing a way out for the abused.
If I ran a popular consumer facing service, I would definitely not be inclined to provide a developer API. That's a risky business proposition. And as a startup I wouldn't hitch my business to a developer API on such a service, which is an even riskier business proposition.

That said, I'd love it if Netflix or Pornhub provided their VOD infrastructure as a service. There's a lot of space for content platforms that don't compete with them directly, but are infeasible to get off the ground.

I think a better question then isn't, "which services should have APIs?" but "which companies should provide IaaS?"
I'm not sure why this is being downvoted, its a valid comment.

Any stretched out supply chain for critical path items is at risk in any disruptive event. Globalization of your supply chain is fantastic at making stuff cheaper - but not at making the supply more durable.

Incidentally, I always though that in animes it is often a big deal for a character to catch "a cold" because plot; unless their cold are actually more aggressive than western colds (or flues)? I wonder more and more which one it is.
As unsavory as it is, I do believe trading humans for humans is part and parcel with government policy. What happened in Wuhan was trading people for people, for example. If you can't talk about trading people, then in a practical sense you can't talk about policy except in circumstances where you find your own speech squeeky clean and safe.

Furthermore, in a democracy, if people don't talk about trading people, then someone else will just have to take up that decision, but now the discussion is moved to a room where people don't see. Policy is a dirty job.

As for the people who are working right now, what people deserve is the wrong word. The market is a cold world, and so you negotiate for what you can before you can't.

I think the concern was about the widespread use of ventilators in general, whether they are commercial or not.
That’s why we had people embedded in the health services in China. To get warnings on this kind of event far in advance.
