Only if you are fired or quit. If you are laid off, you have the option to continue your insurance at your employers discounted rate. The program is called COBRA if you want to look into it.
I work at a trading firm in Chicago, and it has been the same for us. They've been very understanding, and have welcomed barking dogs and crying babies in the background during our standups over zoom.
Of course they would. The modern work environment is as much about control as it is about money, if not even more.

Graeber goes a bit into this topic in his book bullshit jobs.
The issue at doordash is the following:

(1) Drivers are paid in 2 factors, a tip provided by the user, and a per delivery fee provided by doordash thats variable, and generally in the industry is between 10 and 20% of the basket cost

(2) doordash additionaly guaranteed a total "minimum compensation" per delivery up front that was like ~20% of the cost of the basket

(3) Doordash would use the tips users paid to offset the amount they would pay drivers in order to meet the "minimum comp guarantee", so if you ordered 100 dollars in food, and tip 20 dollars, and the minimum compensation on the order was 20 dollars,doordash would pay the driver nothing, and your whole tip would sub for driver pay. If instead you tipped 0 dollars on your 100 dollar basket, doordash would pay the driver 20 dollars out of its own funds to meet the minimum comp. Likewise if you tipped 10 dollars, doordash woud pay 10 dollars.

Sure. The point being that if it is not physical, it is often not taken seriously.
> This is necessary. Is there was a way to show support for this cause as an Amazon customer? Ditching Amazon as a single individual doesn’t send a message.

Maybe call Amazon support to tell them you support it, and try to get escalated as high as possible?

Also, at one time emails sent to jeff@amazon.com would occasionally be read by Jeff Bezos, but now I think they're only looked at by some high level support team.

Disagree. There are far more reasons for people to not be productive in the office than at home. Making excuses to get coffee, the need to go out for lunch, the drive-bys and time lost walking to/from meetings, moving up and down floors... if the main motivator in your work is the fact that people can swing by and look over your shoulder, then yeah, you're better in an office.

At home I wake up and log on at 8am. In the office, my 1.5 hour commute puts me in the office at 10am on a decent day. Because I have a kid and a pregnant wife, I cut out of the office around 4 every day because that's the only reasonable way I can get home and eat dinner with my family before my kid goes to bed... but when I'm WFH, I'm often staying online past 5 and sometimes 6. To me, the difference is literally more time spent working and more time spent seeing my child vs. spending 3-4 hours commuting daily and going day-long stretches without my one year old seeing me with her own two eyes.

Working from home, I can stay productive during meetings without bothering anyone -- I can mute myself, if it's one of those meetings, and keep working.

I think anyone who fails to be as productive, or more productive, from home is someone that doesn't like their job very much. I'm lucky that I enjoy the product I work on, and I enjoy dressing comfortably and eating lunch with my wife, and drinking my own coffee, and instantly joining/disconnecting from meetings, and physically distancing myself from "drive-bys" that my production is up.
It spins off now.

Also from the email they sent today: "Today we’re announcing that Meetup is no longer a subsidiary of WeWork and has been acquired by a group of investors dedicated to continuing our mission."

2.5 years in the linked article refers to the fact that WeWork acquired Meetup 2.5 years ago.
That's interesting, but I'm unsure how much we can generalize from some photos. For example, I wonder how much "photogenic bias" [0] and survivorship bias exist in such photographic evidence. How many photographers of the time would take a picture of a hallway of private offices? And what editor would keep such photographs for posterity?

[0] There's probably a better term for this...
The only yield points are .await points. If there's an .await in a loop, then sure, but otherwise no.
I was under the impression these bag mask valves have a filter to prevent contamination from getting back in the bag but seems like its safe to just dispose, given adequate supply.
The 2.5 years is how long Meetup has been owned by WeWork.

So I believe the sale/spinoff is right away, and that comment in the article is just how long they happened to be apart of WeWork
> They raised capital, therefore they have the money.

Right, and as a result of this, the companies that have capital can always beat out the ones that don't. Who gets to decide which companies get capital? VCs. So that means that it's not the market that decides who wins and loses, it's VCs. Does that sound like the intention of capitalism to you?

Having a better or more efficient idea is meaningless in today's economy. All that matters is how big your warchest is, and how many rich investors you have in your pocket.

Whether there is an expectation of privacy in toilet or on the computer is culture dependent.
That's not true.

I've been working in software for almost 20 years and have never had spyware like this installed on my PCs. I've worked for companies with over 70k employees, down to start ups with fewer than 100. Both in office and remote.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's definitely not normal, and I would personally never work under those conditions.
Maybe a dumb question... but how would a compiled language provide a REPL? Isn't a VM of some sort a requirement to provide anything that we'd call a "REPL"?

You're right. My fault here. It should actually be possible to define a gRPC streaming API (never tried). The only missing thing for me is the protobuf compatibility though.
Do you really need to call strike breakers "scabs"? It seems excessive to demonize workers that need job security / don't believe in unions / etc.
You could just call support without placing an order. That checks both boxes, wastes their time, and deprives them of money until they acknowledge their workers' needs.
As a customer who really appreciates these services in these times, I think these demands are super reasonable. I recently tried to give a tip to an Amazon carryout person, but they said they couldn't take it.

Wouldn't ultra conservatives wear masks because of 'Ingroup', 'Authority', 'Purity', and only when it becomes law?

Haha "discounted." Have you ever looked at the prices for COBRA? Cool, you just lost your job, here's a $1500/mo option.

I remember reading that it takes on average 7 attempts for domestic victim to leave till it stucks.

They stay and come back for a lot of reasons - practical and emotional. Practically, leaving is the moat dangerous time, that is when victim get killed or attacked the most. Shelter mean isolation from her contacts and for kids and their friends. Oftentimes there is money.

Emotionally, there is hope that "he changed". There is trauma bonding that plays against leaving. Victim believes she deserves it. Victim is socialized into dysfunctional patterns that make going back to him seem as right action or make it hard to be alone or with safe partner . And often it is that victims perceives red flags warnings that makes others break up as normal masculinity - meaning she/he ends in another bad relationship right after.

There is a lot more on not leaving then just programs faults.
even if they technically do, i can almost guarantee you the product managers are looking at the total income per hour going to these workers inclusive of tips, and tuning their base pay or whatever they call their contribution to hit a specific total based on average/median/etc tips.
Maybe the Chinese actually counted the people dying of the flu, instead of every death where the deceased also had the virus.
I 100% agree, on all accounts lead-free solder is better.
Sure, technically COBRA covers you, but have you have seen how much it costs? It is unaffordable for most. US healthcare is a joke.

It's not as bad as you think. The ventilator is only one part of the solution. There are also sensors for heart rate and oxygen consumption, maybe even CO2 (though that's expensive) and Human beings involved in monitoring everything.

First, most of these patients are probably not completely breathing-depressed to the point they don't breathe on their own at all. That extends the time necessary to fix anything.

If indeed one of these ventilators malfunctions, it is probably visible at once. In case of loss-of-function an operator can immediately grab the bag and resume ventilation. In other failures he can disconnect the device and reconnect a non-mechanized manual bag in seconds.

This can even be done by volunteers with minimal training, in such emergency situations.
You can use COBRA no matter the reason why you left your employer

> I don't deal in speculation and rumours sorry.

But you trust a known liar (the Chinese government)? Sounds like you're a bit biased here.

> US propaganda

So the US spreads propaganda, but not China? I don't understand how an educated individual could spout this nonsense anywhere.

edit: Am I getting downvotes because HN thinks the Chinese government doesn't have a history of lying? Anyone remember Tiananmen Square, the country of Taiwan, the country of Tibet, or the Uyghur Muslims?
Exactly. I don't do it on purpose but there are too many unnecessary meetings while at work. I'm being at least twice as productive at home.
It's already scheduled to be closed

It can't be closed without approval of the FAA.
that's great and all for the companies but perhaps it should be great for the government and ultimately the tax payer. the alternative is your company goes under and your share price is $0. I'm certain that any vote could be expedited if the the alternative is bankruptcy.
Instacart was doing the same, but they changed course. Doordash is/was doing the same, said they would change course, did not, got call out on it and in the end I don't know if they every actually changed their policy or found some other slimy way to technically abide but still take advantage of their partners.

Amazon I believe tends to do everything through third party companies and there really isn't tipping with Amazon as far as I know, but that might have changed since I haven't ordered an Amazon Fresh order in ages. From other comments here, it sounds like they now having tipping.
...at the same time - it can be pretty difficult to remain focused at home, especially if you also have kids at home because their schools are closed.

I doubt my efficiency is approaching even 50% of what it was a month ago.

Everyone is different.
Don't know if you've been on amazon lately but they're so full of orders that delivery dates are almost impossible to secure. I don't think they'll mind a few less orders these days.
It would. I said most people aren't provided with those. You sit at your desk and are given a machine to do data entry/accounting/etc all day long, not for private use.
COBRA in California for a single, young male for me was $600-$800/month.

>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.

"Shhh... don't let the Plebes know they're still getting robbed. We're going to fight this, negotiate something a little lower and still come out way ahead." -Our Corporate Lords and Vassels

In all seriousness, it goes to show you how little people have come to expect. Some of these strikes historically have had unrealistic expectations in requests from what I recall. Labor rights have declined so far in this country that demands from strikes are now almost fully reasonable, leaving little room to negotiate back from.
"amongst other checks"

If BBC4 goes down, but you're still able to call London on a satellite phone, you don't go nuking Russia. If you have a half dozen different signs of nuclear war and BBC4 is down, it's a point in the "well shit" direction.
It's wild that this has been around since at least the middle of last year. I went searching for a way to define service boundaries for event driven systems and settled on a YAML structure that looks very similar.

I ended up trashing it and going for something more fluent, which I think could easily generate AsyncAPI YAML. Maybe I'll add that to the list of issues on my little side project.
> They have discussed this ad nauseum. It's not airborne. It's designated as "airborne droplet".

The case at issue here strongly suggests aerosol, not droplet, transmission; that's the whole point. Aerosol transmission is smaller particles that remain suspended longer than what is classes as droplet transmission, and droplet precautions aren't adequate for it. It's a bit fuzzy whether it is necessarily actually classed as airborne transmission but of defined precaution classes it requires airborne rather than droplet precautions.

Yes, the COVID-19 is mostly being treated as only having droplet transmission (and therefor requiring droplet and not airborne precautions), which is potentially a major error if it can be transmitted on aerosols.
Both of you are correct; this sucks for everyone.

It may be worth keeping in mind that this, too, will pass.
I pay $300 per month for health insurance and my company pays $700. If I lost my job I would have to pay it all.

> Do you really need to call strike breakers "scabs"? It seems excessive to demonize workers that need job security

Yes. And the strikers don't need job security??

This is what it means to have solidarity with them. You don't sell them out.

Of course it's not easy.
There is a difference between welding the same part automatically millions of times with exact, very tight known constraints that are always the same, and doing small batches and one off custom welds.

Snowden warned against this recently. The government might not give up these new powers after we're done with the virus.
COBRA is temporary (for 18-36 months depending on the situation), and you need to not only pay what you have been paying, but you also need to pay the "employer's share". And it must be identical to the plan you left, so you can't reduce coverage or change anything at all about the plan or you'll lose eligibility.

That means people who quit or are laid off will end up having to pay more for their healthcare at a time when they don't have any income.

COBRA also has a lot of hidden "gotchas", like for example if the employer you left stops maintaining any health plan, your COBRA plan can also be terminated. (This means if the company shuts down, all past employees lose any ability to use COBRA. And this can happen even after you leave and are already on COBRA)

Also if you fail to pay the premiums for any reason, your plan can be terminated, and even worse you won't be allowed to sign up for a new plan via the Marketplace until the open enrollment period.
It seems that if you have the virus in your body (test positive), and you die, then with a high probability the virus caused your death (since it only stays in the body for ~10 days).
China lied about literally EVERYTHING.

Claims the first case was in December. It was [middle of November](https://www.livescience.com/first-case-coronavirus-found.htm...)

Other countries didn't even know there was much going on until December 30 thanks to Dr Li Wenliang [source](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...). He suddenly catches the disease and dies -- big coincidence in my opinion (especially as the death rate for someone 34 is 0.2%). This is at least SIX WEEKS after the initial infection.

They have hundreds to thousands of cases, but they somehow conclude that human to human transmission isn't occurring. Middle of January, WHO itself [tweets out](https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152?ref_src=t...) that human to human transmission isn't happening. I'd note that Japan already had a case with NO links to any markets [source](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/01/16/national/scienc...)

Why would WHO do this? I don't know about the entire organization, but the WHO leader is [Tedros Adhanom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tedros_Adhanom). He is Ethiopian and works for the Ethiopian government. Ethiopia does 5.4 billion in trade with China let alone a 4 billion dollar direct investment [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Ethiopia_relatio...). China also holds almost half of Ethiopia's debt [source](https://www.cnn.com/style/article/addis-ababa-china-construc...). Put simple, the WHO leader is compromised when it comes to China. This extends further with weird dodging of questions about Taiwan by another WHO official [source](https://twitter.com/ezracheungtoto/status/124386977441046937...).

Despite all this, the US still started screening people on Jan 17 [CDC source](https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0117-coronavirus-sc...). If the disease were more like MERS or the original SARS, this would have likely been all that was needed.

China throws a party with 40,000 people in Wuhan kicking an already huge problem into overdrive on January 18 [source](https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/02/06/wuhan-ne...)

On January 20 (exactly 10 weeks ago), China still denied the virus was transmitting between people [source](http://wjw.wuhan.gov.cn/front/web/showDetail/2020012009077).

Only on January 21 does someone at WHO finally conclude human to human transmission is happening [source](https://www.who.int/china/news/detail/22-01-2020-field-visit...). Compromised WHO leader continues to praise China's response [source](https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-...).

China allows hundreds of millions of people to travel over Chinese Lunar New Years (Jan 24-30). The idea that people from Wuhan hadn't already traveled elsewhere in the country is crazy given what we know about the 1-27 days before symptoms show.
That's because people still think this will be a couple of week long speed bump. Cooking at home means 10%-25% of the restaurant cost.
Unless they also falsely declare the employers it should not be more than 8.2%
There needs to be a corporate framework for this type of gig economy. Some structure that allows companies to pay into general benefits on a as-earned basis, without forcing the definition to be a classic "employee" which no-one (except unions) wants.

Ideally it should be across corporations. I know a ton of people who drive for both Uber and Lyft, depending on who pays better. Thats a critical element - there needs to be a market of companies for people to work for, but they still need solid benefits and protections.

Think of this as a next generation union type structure.
Props to you for coming out and admitting that. Also: you are co-responsible for this mess, what are you going to do about that?
COBRA is horribly expensive though.
The image from the article, is from a UA flight (passenger craft).

I would imagine that the airlines come out of this shining through. They just got 'grants' to pay their employees not to show up to work, they are in discussion with the US DOT to merge low volume flights across competing airlines and they are picking up cargo flights. The cost of jet fuel is likely just icing on the cake.

There will be reorg costs, but they will be offset by not having to pay workers for 2-3months and the extra work to support the supply problems.

Unidirectional flights problem will get solved through [1] reconfiguration of flight hubs and [2] aggregation of passengers across airlines. These will shore up enough margin to make this sustaining or profitable.

Airlines are logisticians!
The real fallback for lack of ventilator machines is the use of the bag valve mask. This is a manually operated device, no motors or electronics.

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

I have to assume this is more reliable than whatever somebody hacked together in their garage. Your average builder may be able to make something that works OK in testing, but having it work 24/7 by people unfamiliar with its quirks is a different matter entirely.

The official word out of New York is that they are going to use bag valve masks when they run out of ventilators and train people how to squeeze the bag.
But Russia does have two sodium cooled reactors on their power grid right now.
