A better question might be how much harder perfect is: this will block a ton of stuff quite reliably and with almost no setup effort, and that includes a lot of sites where I’d worry about malware (remember when people were getting rooted by free video players?). Filtering something like Reddit requires installing invasive software with a history of security and privacy lapses on every client.

When I was commuting, I had a theory that looking out the bus window or biking into work was important because it forced me to be aware of the distance and time separating my home and work. It allowed me to transition between the two, whereas being deep into a research paper or carpooling with a nicely chatty coworker did not.

> Perhaps it hasn't been necessary to force them because he is capable of explaining _why_ they're important, i.e. he is capable of engaging in a dialogue with his children.

As someone who actually does mainly employ this technique because it is generally more effective (especially with very spirited children), this is a delusional statement.

For one thing, children don't always respond in good faith, and some (especially those who are verbally gifted) will try to manipulate the process of dialogue.

It's also a bad idea to give them a false impression that something is up for negotiation when it is not.

> that one will ride highs and lows for a good average return.

That's what happens if you invest lump sum -- you get the average, which is usually good because of the upwards trend of the market (due to the market risk premium).

When you DCA, you need to think about all the money that's NOT invested during that time, being lost to inflation. Essentially you are betting against the market with that fraction of your money over the period you do the DCA. But it's not obvious that that's whats happening because when you are in the process of doing DCA, it "feels" like it's all invested to some degree.

If you want something that's lower risk than the stock market, then you can just go with an asset allocation that's less than 100% equities and just stick with it. But there is no reason to change your asset allocation over time if your financial situation is not changing (assuming you can't time the market), yet that is basically what DCA does.

Lmao. Scarlett Johansson is so thicc, you can even farm cryptos with her pictures.
Many people have brought this up, but there are definitely things to consider for a job to be done while working from home:

1) worker productivity (does it go up or down for all of these professions)

2) do companies want to pay you as much if you work from home?

3) is it sustainable for large swathes of people vs. small groups of people who self-select to like this work-style

4) will people abuse the system such that it ruins it for everybody else

I can see a far more likely implementation of this would be a mixed case -- "work from home wednesdays" or something like that.. not friday or monday because then basically people would assume there is a certain amount of abuse of people working for 1 hour on Friday then starting their weekend early..

It is highly unlikely the virus lives very long on many crops. In most cases, a few days of storage will denature the viral particles enough. Something surely for food regulators to think about, but nothing insurmountable.

Hmm, I can see some benefits to the scheme, such as using the client's CPU cycles, and the plaintext password never having to be sent to my servers.

Maybe it's just that it's not the norm, but I'm still unsure I'd actually use this scheme.

As the owner/maintainer of a service, I want to be in control and know that my user's credentials are secure - there may even be legal obligations here in some countries.

TBH, my preferred solution here is never to silently truncate passwords, and just to set a "sensible" limit on password length, e.g. 256 characters. Yes, it's still an arbitrary limit, but it should be long enough to cover 99.9999% of users.
Are we supposed to care that ICANN's feelings are hurt? Hopefully this is a step to replacing ICANN with something better.

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. This is just empirically true. A 1% death attrition rate is really nothing in terms of farm output. The human cost may be a lot, but it won't affect much in terms of production.
My team inherited a project that was initially built to support US customers. Because it was successful, it was then expanded to support EU customers as well. Presumably they loved the rule-of-3 - instead of finding ways to abstract the existing code to support EU customers, they just duplicated and forked everything.

Which brings us to today where our team had to maintain 2 different code bases, doing almost the same thing, in 2 different ways. Every single feature request we get, takes twice as long, because we have to make them independently in two different code bases. Similarly for bugs, testing, and ramp-up time. This is one of the biggest dev complaints that we have even today, and one of the factors that led to management deciding to "junk it all" and start over from scratch.

Code duplication is better than the wrong abstraction. And the right abstraction is better than code duplication. Finding the right abstraction is very hard, so I can see why people would just settle for the middle ground of duplicating code. But I still think that trying diligently to find the right abstractions is what we should be striving for

> The numbers from Korea, Italy and the Diamond princess are not good but they are not world-ending either.

You lumped Korea and Italy together which is strange. Then apparently (seeing your comment chain) you tried to transpose it onto US and rest of the world.

Korea was ready (experience with previous outbreaks). They started early. They tested like there's no tomorrow and are still doing that. Test - isolate, test - isolate, test - isolate. Everybody wearing masks - negative, positive, or untested. Everybody [1]

Even by this ill-informed left-com critique, Marx and Bukunin both share a vision of a stateless, classless society based on free association and a practical end to resource scarcity. Not "top down rules" as the original poster simplistically described.

As for "dictatorship", it's easy to find out for yourself that this state of society is massively more democratic than the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie we live under in capitalist democracies.

In Soviet Russia, the dictatorship of the proletariat (i.e. the period immediately after the October revolution, not the Stalinist bureaucracy) was obviously necessary to win the civil war against foreign-backed counter revolutionaries. If the Red army lost the civil war, Russia would have been ruled by the fascist Black Hundreds.

This is great news, and a kind gesture of the ACM. I used to be a member, fell off years ago, but this might inspire me to re-join. I'd been thinking membership was >= $199, maybe it used to be? but now @ $99 it seems worthwhile.

Total unrelated aside: it's funny that the name of the person making this announcement has a name which is essentially two foods ("Cherri Pancake"). Then again, I had a classmate in primary school whose name was Candy Kane (well, Candice, but yes she went by "Candy" in 4th grade).
If this is true, it's absolutely insane! There's a global pandemic, medical staff is overwhelmed psychically and mentally. It seems there is no justice for them.

WeWork Asks Landlords to Help It Cut Its Rent Bill by Up to 30%
They're sometimes maybe not quite up to the standards you'd find in a urban university clinic, but compared to other places I've been it's quite astonishing how high quality the care is even in small remote hospitals. The demographics are increasingly affecting the number of physicians though, that much is true.
Why is parliament suspended? Here in Norway parliament has given the government the right to act against some statutes but has kept the right to effectively veto things if necessary. A one third minority can block measures under the law passed to deal with the crisis (this has already happened).

And we haven't had to suspend any civil liberties yet except for the right to holiday in your cabin in the mountains, go to the pub in Oslo (you can go but they can only serve food), and there are penalties for not quarantining yourself if you are infected or have arrived from outside the country.

Pretty much everything is working on the basis that we trust the advice we are given and trust each other to behave well. So far it seems to be working except for a very small number of idiots.

Instead of tracking us by mobile the government uses the mobile phone network to send everyone texts to explain what is going on and where to get more information.
Programmable Banking Usecases
I am wondering if anyone here has some creative uses for programmable banking of your personal bank account?

I've been invited to take part in a beta phase for programmable banking but deciding if it's worth the effort as they are wanting someone that actively contributes (makes sense of course).

I'm more than open to building something cool but the usual trope of 'bank your change' or 'limit your spending' is not for me as I am a naturally frugal person.

I am not a fan of these broad generalizations. I'm in my 4th week of working from home and my productivity dropped dramatically. I used to enjoy working from home, as I was doing it consistently for 1-2 days a week to be able to run a few errands and save on commute time. I used to be super productive. Woke up at 5, was online by 6:30 and off by 5 PM, sometimes getting a week's worth of work done in a single day. True focus. But now, even with great hygiene (bedroom is for sleep, study is for working, living room is for TV/Games/exercise) it's too much for me. I need the physical separation between my home and my work. I feel I need to chew the fat with other folks in the kitchen, I miss having lunch with my work friends in conference rooms, I miss being able to help others debug stuff on their computer by moving my chair. I dread the fact that I'm gonna supposed to be doing that for another month. I think broadly there should be a balance for this. Some people thrive when working from home. I don't. I just need a day or two to truly focus but other than that, even as an introvert, I need office time. And it pains me to write this, I love my family wholeheartedly but I think there needs to be healthy amount of away time in order to keep things sane.

Detroit water video conference “Zoom-bombed” by online hijackers
So you're saying since the solution isn't perfect, we should do away with it?
The concerns about TikTok are that it's potentially Chinese government spyware because TikTok is owned by a mainland Chinese company which has legal obligations to the Chinese government.

Zoom is a US company that is not answerable to the Chinese government. Like many companies, Zoom has chosen to outsource some of its operations, and those overseas offices create various infosec risks. And given that Zoom infosec seems to be a total clown show, those infosec risks are probably more serious at Zoom. But that would be equally true of any other American company that is really lax about security and too cheap to employ American developers.

restating a prior sentiment: such dichotomies--left/right, authoritarian/libertarian--and their cross-products are cognitive traps. they inhibit understanding and obscure solution pathways.

so don't worry about the axis affiliations and critique the ideas themselves (as you imply you already do by not judging a priori).

fear-driven decision environments (as with the current pandemic) are ripe for power seizures (even if just incrementally). we should remain vigilant against that.

afaict, most US residents are following governmental requests (like physical distancing, washing hands, and self-quarantining when sick) because it's a reasonable and prudent response to a virus that's still relatively unknown but has the potential to be bad, not because we're coerced by said government. those admonitions provide (sometimes sparse) evidence, information, and rationale for doing so, rather than mainly relying on force.

that force is held back by governmental units because of the threat of backlash by residents. this keeps their power in check. don't give that up.

IMHO working from home only really works if you are alone (or the other people are also working from home, i.e. quiet and considerate). Sure you might be able to get an hour or two of quality work time while your partner and kid are watching a movie but the rest of the time is a nightmare.

I have worked from home for a while now. I have a home office that is just for work. I work from home to be more flexible, remove my commute and remove physical office interruptions. And because I just generally prefer being on my own when I work.

Even with a dedicated home office I find working from home very difficult when others are around such as weekends.
