I'm sorry but this is a pot/kettle situation. What's more HN than pointing out that all of the things society is doing to fix the problem are useless? Then not actually providing a single solution to what you claim is a horrible problem. Having had a relative go through one of the programs you mentioned above successfully - on top of having friends who work for the institutions you claim are setup to do everything BUT help - I consider your response more offensive than his.

Do you have some hard examples of "it's impossible to get any help from these programs" or are you just another "government is inefficient and useless, we need to eliminate it" libertarians?

What do you mean? Rationing is working fine in the stores that are implementing it, the problem is that so many stores aren't. My local grocery is rationing paper products, milk, chicken, and eggs, and they're always available if you visit before noon.

There is no supply problem for consumer products. The shortages you see at grocery stores are exclusively because of panic-buying and hoarding, the shelves are stocked right back up to full overnight.

I'm sorry if you felt that I was arguing against you- I think your suggestion of encouraging mask use is a great one! But nobody has done that, in fact, they've suggested the opposite (since there is a scarcity of 75c masks - so that masks are available for first responders and medical personnel, last I heard)

You are strawmanning my argument. My argument is, yes, I believe that there are more than two possible solutions to this. I also argue that the "do nothing" solution has its own downsides. If, however, you force me to choose from the two solutions presented (social isolation, or do nothing)- I pick social isolation because I believe, at least in the US, a good balance between flattening the spread and economic impact.

Yes I'm pissed off, why aren't you? I don't accept mediocrity from my coworkers or direct reports; why would you accept it from your government?

I feel like we're all experiencing mass learned helplessness at this point! We need to demand more from our leaders, not less!
Of course, companies will always care about the stock price. And that's a good thing. There should be strong limits on the way to increase that price.

Increasing the value of the company? Awesome, go ahead. That's what the bailout is supposed to be for.

Even if the government hasn't ordered them closed, it might be worth avoiding them as an individual. Especially if your government is one that hasn't been super on point with responding to the pandemic (so maybe not germany so much since they seem to be doing a reasonable ok job compared to some other areas). If there's significant undertesting etc in your area, the government will not have a full enough picture of the situation to be making accurate reccomendations about what should be open and closed.

No problem. Vendors are GE, Siemens, and ABB. I'm sure at least one is hiring. They generally prefer some industry experience, but a Masters or PhD would likely go far, especially with some research projects.

These models are amongst the most difficult out there as far as size and time requirements. One of the founders of GUROBI got involved with the industry recently to try to help some researchers speed things up.

If you want a decent example/starter model to analyze, there is a unit commitment model someone made in Xpress that is free online if you Google for it that shows the fundamental formulation although they are much larger in practice.

Yes, but the effectiveness goes way down. If we are talking about air pollution (why I had to wear them when I did), surgical masks are useless. I guess in the pandemic context, they prevent some moisture from your mouth from reaching other people.

Tried, even have psychiatric report stating as much and yet those who are supposed to help have failed me. Tried everything and nothing.

But it's not just me, I have some good neibours who are less able to defend themselves and even if I moved, somebod else would suffer, let alone my good neibours and if I move, they would get worse downstairs.

Only way is to see justice done and then move, though believe me I've tried, been messed around, and I'd articulate the horrors and failings but only so much can empart at a time as it causes me great stress reliving it.

I'm already a lost cause, I just need to make sure others don't suffer, that's the only thing that keeps me alive.

Pretty good idea on #3 (and for much much much larger links), and a decent idea for #1.

If I had 1-10 PB to move I could totally see most people using FedEx to ship JBODs around. For small transfers it makes sense, and we also have a product for this. Internally I'd use our WAN for those, which is where this now starts to make sense: Amazon does not have anywhere near the global WAN capacity that we do, nor so far have they had a good reason to have that capacity.

If you've got the global capacity to allow a customer to peer to your nearest location (and your nearest location likely isn't too far away for most of the world), fiber makes sense for large (~EB-scale, which I assume anyone with 100PB+ is well on their way to 1EB+) amounts of data. We have a product for these peerings (primarily for customers in colos): https://cloud.google.com/interconnect/docs/concepts/dedicate...

I think it's unfair to categorise TypeScript as the easiest for interop if you've asserted that static type safety is important to you. If the typings aren't already available you'll need to create a type declaration for them - meaning it's a lot closer to PureScript and ReasonML than it might otherwise appear - and I say "need" because otherwise you'll have `any` flowing through your codebase which defeats the purpose.

Your conclusion is reasonable given your desire to gradually migrate a preexisting codebase, but I'd personally come to a very different answer were this for a greenfield project. TypeScript is wonderful and I use it at work every day, but its limitations are frustrating and it's fundamentally unsafe.
> It's an investment that the company can't afford to make at the moment.

This is nonsense logic and the very reason not to use cash-based accounting for anything serious.

They raised capital, therefore they have the money. Basically all companies start off "losing money" because most investments don't instantaneously produce their full return. How would anybody ever open a factory or a restaurant if they had to be profitable before spending any money on anything that generates profit? You can't use the profit from making widgets to build your first widget factory because you need a widget factory to make widgets.

My wife works with domestic violence victims. It's extraordinarily difficult to get victims of domestic violence to leave their abusers even in the best of times. There's also not a lot of shelters available for women to stay in for long periods of time.
Afaik the UK is protestant because hundreds of years ago, some king wanted to divorce his wife and catholic faith wouldn't have allowed him to.

Just saying: the option for divorce has existed for a long time now.

How can a woman describe to a journalist how abusive her partner is, and not split up or get a divorce?

In most countries there is also some kind of social security, so women are not financially dependent on their partners anymore, either (not to mention the option to work themselves).

So what are we to make of such articles? Internalize more hatred of men? Go round knocking on doors, asking women "excuse me, should I beat up your husband"?

Maybe there are reasons that prevent women from leaving (and let's not forget many men are victims of domestic abuse, too). Then those reasons should be addressed. Those sob stories on "women have it so bad" don't do anybody any good.

And also, personal responsibility is a theme here. You are responsible for choosing your partner, and also for splitting if the partner turns out to be abusive.

Dude just move.
I’m not sure there’s anything specific about France here. The UK’s bombers operate similarly, and I can’t see any reason anyone else’s wouldn’t.

My father worked aboard one, and we got to send a weekly “familygram” message - a short, telegram-style message where you put one word in each box until you’re out of boxes, and then mail it off to the Navy. You weren’t allowed to even hint at any bad news - not even that the dog had died - and we were told that any bad news would be removed from the message. And receiving a too-short, redacted, or no familygram at all would probably be more worrying than not being told at all.

The reality of it is that if you’re half-way through a 10-week patrol, there’s nothing about this pandemic that’s remotely useful to you. Nothing you can do, nothing you can say, no way you can benefit from this information. It’s 100% useless mental overhead.

And to be honest, I think I’m a little jealous right now. I don’t think 100% news saturation is good for us either.
Problems with Japan's Covid-19 reports
Most of the commenters here focus on the finances of individual firms. The only reasons for a government to bail out a company are 1) to protect the supply chain of a necessary good or service, 2) as a way of providing a safety net for people that doesn't involve direct payment, 3) a way of maintaining the structure of the economy so it can resume normal operation more quickly after the shock, or 4) a way of giving a handout to a set of wealthy and connected members of society. I think most of us can agree that 1-3 are necessary response to a major disruption and 4 is corruption.

For a small business like a dog groomer or a restaurant, we expect the fraction that aren't viable to go out of business with some probability during small economic shocks, and we expect that this will be a small fraction. So we let them go. But in a crisis where an entire sector will be mostly wiped out, such as restaurants in the current pandemic, some attempt at preserving the sector makes sense because otherwise you send shocks through everything connected with it. For example, if a restaurant occupies the bottom floor of an apartment building, and the building's cashflow depends on that space not being unoccupied for more than two months, then you can have a sequence of events that result in mass evictions unless you control those side effects as well. It's probably easier to try to maintain the web of cashflow.

Now, you may be able to get side effects that you like in some sectors, such as restaurants turning into food kitchens for the duration as part of the direct injection of cash. On the other hand, a bar or a salon probably just shuts down. But even there, most stylists rent a chair in a salon, so you need to make sure that web of cashflow isn't broken by an owner pocketing it. It still gets very complicated. For some areas like farms we already have large measures in place, since bad seasons tend to affect large swathes of farms. Thus reserve boards, farm subsidies and the like.

Others have pointed out that such structural maintenance can be gamed by having a barely-viable company that is too big to fail. Then even small shocks can be turned into structural crises. Someone else suggested requiring capital reserves the way we do for banks, and for large companies that makes sense. If you're that big and structurally risky, you should be required to derisk yourself.

One discussion I hope we will be having as a society during and after this is what disaster preparedness looks like. We should have the regulations for what putting the economy on such a footing looks like, run simulations every few years for a week, and have adversarial gaming on an ongoing basis to try to find loopholes and close them.

No, the CDC says, on the linked page:

>If you are sick wear a facemask in the following situations, if available.

>- If you are sick: You should wear a facemask, if available, when you are around other people (including before you enter a healthcare provider’s office).

>- If you are caring for others: If the person who is sick is not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then as their caregiver, you should wear a facemask when in the same room with them. Visitors, other than caregivers, are not recommended.

>Note: During a public health emergency, facemasks may be reserved for healthcare workers. You may need to improvise a facemask using a scarf or bandana.

Which do you think matters more to a person in an abusive situation?

A. Paragraph two of some legal document somewhere

B. "If you leave the house, I'll call the cops and tell them you're breaking quarantine, and then you'll go to jail and I'll be the only person who can get you out."

I don't disagree with your last paragraph: There are other related issues and maybe some of them are worse. But how this actually plays out in an abusive situation is a fair bit removed from what the executive order says.
The argument made elsewhere on this thread was that if the cruise liner employs thousands of people then yes it makes sense to have some sort of rules in place to stop them over-leveraging (or similar) to the point where their failure has knock on effects to the greater community/society.

Another argument is that we cannot guarantee letting them fail will happen due to political influence etc so it is better to put in place rules to stop bad behavior in the first place as there is always a risk of corruption when it comes to bailouts.
My guess is Trump holds potential charges over their head as leverage.

"From a visual standpoint, there might be very little difference between a feature that is not visible and a feature that is out of the way. Conceptually, this is a big deal instead. A feature that is not visible and your only way to find it is by reading about it somewhere, or seeing a video tutorial, is something undiscoverable and poorly executed."

Apple has been doing this since the first Mac. Make things simple and pretty on the surface for the happy path, but overly simple, so that there's a bunch of secrets to get actual tasks done.

For example: They knew all about the Star and Smalltalk and friends, which had a consistent use of three mouse buttons for actions, cut and paste, whatever. Apple instead insisted on the false simplicity of a one button mouse, which doomed future users to a maze of difficult to remember modifier-click finger Twister instead.

They've been getting broader testing underway and are employing it where there seem to be community breakouts, but I have to agree with your parent poster. There has been community transmission, so stressing so strongly that travelers are the vector lead to complacency.

The messaging was bad. If you tell people over and over that it's only the travelers (but you only test the travelers) and downplay the community aspect then you're misrepresenting the risk.

People were, until very recently, continuing to host wine and dinner parties so long as no recent travelers were present. With travelers who arrived the day before the mandatory quarantine came into effect treated as being safe to invite.

People aren't rational in these situations, you can't give them such an easy mental shortcut or they'll take it every time.

Many Australians were coming home from countries with broader (at the time) testing, more extensive contact tracing and still fewer cases than Australia, but the community's eye was still being actively trained on them specifically, and not simply people as the primary vector.
