Once again, it is demonstrated that the best ethical insurance policy short of outright whistleblowing is ediscovery.

I find it worthy a a chuckle that a Tobacco industry defense attorney was aghast at the fact they committed things to writing. More and more I'm starting to become of the opinion that it is everyone's moral duty to either call out anyone doing business reliant on not commuting things to a document, or if the calling out doesn't work to be the one who does the documenting.

Malevolent (or tactical/strategic as the executives would pitch it) refusal to test is an instant red flag in my book; combine it with the attitude of "let's create a problem to sell the solution to" seems to be a standard operating procedure for the chemical industry.

Fresh out of college, I figured that the reputation and stereotypes surrounding the industry were at least somewhat a product of Hollywood/academic exaggeration; and I was willing to have my mind changed with regards to how the industries actually go about their work. Monsanto once again singlehandedly proves that that reputation is well deserved.
Not OP, but I remove the component (not hard) and drill the hole. Never managed to wick away solder.
This article seems to have a lot of hard facts and health experts' opinions. Perhaps this comment was made in mistake?
There can be many reasons. The value is almost always based on what people think will happen at some future date. As information becomes available that sentiment changes. I would not count on this market immediately going back to where it was. Real damage has been done. 6-18 months to recover.
Its really too much of a leap from they were "more smart than we give them credit" to "smarter than modern humans" really with no evidence.
The statistics change quickly: Denmark and Sweden now have the same number of deaths per capita, after 5 more in Denmark but 36 in Sweden.

>So nobody dares do anything as they have lost faith in the police and all support.
>I have aspergers and have serious PTSD due to years of this abuse and need help getting the truth out there.

Here's one uncomfortable fact about our society that most people sort of feel, but don't usually express in words. Despite what people say, nobody gives a damn about others' problems. People will tell you all kinds of kind and supportive words, because it makes them feel good about themselves being so kind. Nobody will go an extra mile and risk being attacked/sued/defamed, unless the problem starts seriously affecting them. Please do yourself a favor and put together what other people said and what they have done so far, and you will find this as the most plausible model.

If you truly have Aspergers, think of this purely logically. How much time/effort have you put into getting the truth out there? What if you put the same effort towards simply moving elsewhere? Make sure you understand what neighborhoods/apartment types will have lower probability of the same problem. Also think of renting a detached house in the middle of nowhere and working remotely. It could cost comparably to a downtown condo, but you will get priceless peace and quiet.

It is sad, but there is no "getting truth out there" option. There is an option of fighting the windmills, hearing kind words from everyone, while still stuck in a lifestyle you hate. Or there's an option of being selfish, setting a goal that will help you and just you, and allocating every resource you have towards achieving this goal.

You can compile to native and use the whole OCaml ecosystem over there (in stead of the NPM ecosystem when doing client-side or Node-based-server-side) to write your apps.

For instance this fast OCaml http server: https://github.com/inhabitedtype/httpaf

And you can even share types between client and server :)
Could it be that just like having extra neutrons in an atom make it more massive, but still have nearly the same reactive properties - that the particles themselves are made up of something else that can have extra "higgs" that make them more massive?

> The news media simply does a terrible job of communicating what exactly these "lockdowns" mean.

If you only read the headlines or listen to tweets that butcher what exactly is being talked about. The stories generally go into further detail and provide links to further information if you want to dig into the details.

People keep talking about how bad the "news media" is doing, and yet, if you actually read the stories instead of just reading the headlines and pull quotes, they are doing a fairly good job.

If you do a simple search, you will see that far from doing bad job, this is getting a lot of attention by "news media" around the world.

People whine about the "media" and yet, I can't help but think that they are only looking at headlines and that's it. Here you have an article from the "news media" and it's not even their first article on this specific topic!

#2 is super important for folks who aren't used to working remotely to take to heart. It's really easy to feel the (self-imposed) pressure to be available all the time and feel anxious because you're not doing work for 8 hours straight -- that's the road to burnout. In reality most people only do a couple hours of "heads down" work on a normal day; removing the office politics and moving to a more asynchronous communication style simply makes obvious how little "work" actually gets done at most offices.

Seems like a very long shot to make it into Apple products both because of the license and the fact it wasn’t invented in Cupertino.

FWIW the userspace implementations are quite good, and still out performs IPSec.
It's not hard, just more expensive. I imagine not having 200-some people paying, let's say $150, would mean air cargo would have to cover the $30,000-ish difference. There's additional cargo space because the baggage hold is no longer taken up by passenger baggage, but with airlines charging passengers $50/bag, we might be able to guess at the opportunity cost to airlines for taking something the average size and weight of a passenger's checked bag.
You're 100% right, but try to be compassionate. These people are now out of work, and can't pay for food, rent, etc.
because you're comparing it to 63/37. it's much easier to grok the comparison when you use the same "units".

The only thing I can respond to your lengthy comment is: politics as we have it now is rigged in the favor of populist "leaders" that do what people want them to do, not what is the right thing to do. With "one man, one vote" the lower 51% less educated and intelligent part of the voters will elect the politicians that play their tune, even if the other 49% that are more qualified will vote otherways. In a way, it is the dictatorship of the stupid (no intention to offend someone, just math and basic psychology).

I found some of my father's school books from ~ 1960: that close after the war, it included lots of war-like information like how to use protective gear (not top NBC one, but how to improvise if needed), how to carry a stretcher, first aid, etc. Now people forgot about war, this is no longer in the school teachings and people lack self-preservation skills. If a country leader tells them to self-isolate, they will laugh and ignore until it gets serious and in hindsight they blame politicians. When you have no pandemic for 100 years you don't care about ventilators and ventilator contracts, you care about unemployment, taxes, football and the last iPhone models.

History is always forgotten because regular Joe and Jane don't read history and Einstein has a single vote.
Among other things!

I dunno what it is, the internet + Donald Trump that does this to people?

Too much fighting, even among people who are mostly ideologically aligned.
I think that the situation can have more positive than negative effects in this sense.

A major problem with abused people is that they assume that their current life is more predictable (comforting) than the other options (being jobless, poor and alone and having a low self-estimate), so they relativize and hide the situation because they fear more the uncertainty. Maybe they will solve the problem temporarily trying to avoid him/her for some hours.

The lockdown can be a real eye-opener in this sense (and safety is at a fake cough of distance).

Moreover, to hide the problem from their neighbors would be almost impossible. Everybody will be at home 24h/7days a week for months, including men and women that would be otherwise working in the city all day, unaware of the situation for years.

A wife alone at home all day could choose avoid getting in trouble herself and shut their mouth about what happens in the next door just by fear. Men will be much less tolerant with this situation, specially when in front of their wifes and children. Will be pushed to do something about it to restore their role as, well... men.

And of course, being cynical, there is a small possibility that the coronavirus just fix the bug for once and for good, or will send the abuser alone to an hospital with pneumonia. A place where will be unable to hide their body marks to medical staff, will find psychological support and enter in a program for people abused and will have some extra time to rethink about their toxic relationship and heal in every aspect
I honestly believe I'm as productive now as I was at the office, not that it matters for gov work anyway.

I'm able to complete tasks just as well here as at the office.
Yep! Exactly my point, it is way more expensive (i.e. companies wont do it as the money isn't there) to run high speed hardware. Satellite comms may be cheaper, but the speeds and latency will be quite a bit worse than what you'll find in urban areas.

For reference, people are talking about wanting 25 to 50mbps, while I am getting gigabit for $45/mo (Cincinnati, Ohio). Hence the cat and mouse game.
Close coordination with the Chinese government :)

No, there would (almost) be no policy. That's the point. It's one planet - one health. Which country it is shouldn't matter much.

If a severe case was reported by medical staff in Taiwan, North Korea or where ever it would/should instantly show as potential breakout warning signal on some webpage or dashboard, without having to travel weeks through broken bureaucracies and press.
I've shied away from async/await because I haven't seen a good writeup on how to make it deterministic. Come to think of it, all of the times I've encountered it, there was no way to analyze the codepaths and prove that every exceptional situation and failure mode was handled. Maybe I missed something along the way?

So my feeling about it is that it may turn out to be an evolutionary dead end, or anti-pattern at the least. My gut feeling is that async/await is functionally equivalent to the the synchronous/blocking/coroutine/channel system of other languages like Go. Could we write a thin wrapper that converts async/await to that or vice versa?

This is the primary reason why I've stuck to synchronous/blocking PHP with all of its flaws instead of Node.js. I think this is a fundamental thing that shouldn't be glossed over and accepted so readily into other languages.
A manager wanting to use spy software is overtly telling the world and themselves they are a poor manager.

Lie, that involves intent so I don't know that I care to indicate or debate that.

Highly skeptical, yeah I am considering they've already a long track record of suppressing information / people related to the COVID situation.

Less free countries have little reason / a long track record of hiding bad news, from their own people, others, etc, and they have less free media, people to discover / tell anyone otherwise.

About CRDTs
They had bigger brains. In all the studies of humanoid fossils, there's a clear relationship between brain size and ability to make tools etc. (which is presumably caused by intelligence). It would be very strange that this is the sole exception to that relationship. This relation is defined between different species--irrelevant to the more controversial claim that brain size matters between humans (of the same species) which is probably why you're rejecting the idea.
To be fair, the subs are not 100% isolated when submerged. I don't know the protocol or time interval between communications, bur there are two systems that at least the US uses to maintain command of then nuclear subs. One is the TACAMO ELF system [1], which transmits radio signals capable of reception at some depth below sea water [1]. A second is the Navy EHF Satellite Support System (NESP) [2] in which a small satellite dish mounted on the periscope is used. I can only speculate on what the operating orders are should a sub not receive communications from one of those after some period of time.

From what I've heard from people in the French navy, the submariners aboard the ballistic missile boats are nearly fully isolated from the rest of the world, as described in the article. But the French attack subs might be like you describe.
It's standard practice if you agree to it in your employment contract.
The primary issue I have with auto-generated video is its ability to systematically reduce accuracy over time due to being generated from out-of-date information, unmaintained APIs, or simple typos.

Manual editing and manual narration tends to act as a forcing function to review the information and approve its accuracy before publishing.

Auto-generated videos can often be published without a final review or fact check. As we see auto-generated video for things like product demos, and company training, it will open a new problem domain of catching “bugs” in those auto-generated videos.

Obviously - they wouldn't be any use if you couldn't tell them to fire their missiles while they were submerged, would they?
We had a bad manager at my last company who really wanted to do this sort of thing.

I said to him “So this is an interesting proposal... if we install this software then I can save on management costs by replacing your position with this spyware?” He never brought it up again and we later just got rid of him completely.

Micromanagement and this sort of spying rarely builds high performing teams. Managing worker productivity is one thing but blatant spying is a sign of much deeper problems with a company and its management.

I’ve generally found a fairly strong inverse correlation between how good a manager is and the amount of paranoia they have on their teams not doing what they should. Good managers build great teams and then trust them.
It definitely looks like there are some larger plane traffic gaps out that way compared to here in the midwest, but if you look at a live map (https://www.flightradar24.com/41.21,-101.72/6 ) they are still flying over even the remote areas pretty frequently unfortunately.
Even then, your own definition of shit jobs, " low pay, but high effort, manual, dangerous, etc." doesn't really correspond that well.

High effort and dangerous jobs usually pay well... low paying jobs are inherently manual, and/or likely to be automated away. In the end, some things don't automate well. There's a human aspect to a lot of things, and many of those won't be displaced soon. Of course, I do understand that many other jobs cannot fill the void that will be lost, especially with an ever expanding population.

> Come to think of it, all of the times I've encountered it, there was no way to analyze the codepaths and prove that every exceptional situation and failure mode was handled.

There is nothing special about async/await with regards to this in Rust, at least if I'm understanding you correctly. Async functions can return Results like any other function for recoverable errors, and can panic like any other function for un-recoverable errors.

> My gut feeling is that async/await is functionally equivalent to the the synchronous/blocking/coroutine/channel system of other languages like Go.

It depends on what level of abstraction you're talking about. For Rust, which cares a lot about details, they're not. I gave a talk comparing and contrasting all this stuff here: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/rust-2019/
Ask HN: What to do if you lose your job during pandemic
Isolation policies are crucial to stop coronavirus but these policies have side effects like killing lots of start-ups which depend on people spending money. There are many contract-based developers and, contracts are easier to terminate when budgets get tight. If isolation continues much longer, losing your job can be possible, also it will be harder to find another one. Do you have any advice for creating income during these times?
I see, and so you assume that that job would be the contribution.

When I contributed to the kernel (in a rather minor way, I hasten to add), I was competent enough to get a job as a programmer but my job had nothing to do with the kernel. As far as I can remember that was typical for the people who contributed during the first five years or so. I didn't pay much attention after that.

Scale matters too. As I clearly stated, I am not making electronics at industrial scales, nor am I generating large quantities of e-waste.

As for hacker spaces, why on earth would anyone in their right mind assume that it would be ok to not wash hands, eat, drink, etc in that environment _and_ let their kids work there without the same precautions, leaded solder or no?
>It's crappy how I feel like I can change the world if I try, but I can't change the house down the street.

That's because it's way easier to think about fixing the world in a theoretical way than it is to start making small realistic changes that gradually turn into something bigger. As someone fighting domestic abuse outside of the system, this work can get very messy but over time you develop your understanding of what works and what doesn't work. It is possible to make real progress and actually stop abusers.
PSA for businesses: how about instead of spying on the deadweight you fire them and reward the productive employees.

There are tons of work from home employees (who normally work from home) who are 10x more productive than the in-office ones, because they realize the value of what they have.

It's too bad most people will only work when you're looking over their shoulder, but lets not keep that on life-support with spyware. Let it die and usher in a time when people actually take the initiative to do their work.
Similar situation for me. Software industry, at least from what I work on, hasn't been too affected yet. Less productive but gettings things done. Setup a gym in the basement and cycling is still allowed. Already worked from home for years in the past, was easy to get into the rythmn again. Slowly running out of Netflix shows to watch. If anything I consider me and family lucky.

> I don't have social media accounts

That's where everybody vents about their situation. Lots of memes. Plus TV and newspapers' coverage seems to be 50% covid-19 related. A bit less on HN, certainly what makes it to the frontpage.

If you're going to claim no one should be able to produce or buy food in a way that might produce disease then maybe point a finger at the USA chicken and pork farms.

To call out China as "special" seems hypocritical the say the least. Just because they eat something different. Koreans find the French to be barbaric because they eat cute little bunny rabbits. The point being don't be xenophobic because we eat something different than you.
