I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think what I said is wrong. Sure, it's not the best conceivable choice, but I don't think the NSA would be particularly out of place on this list, given that it includes things like "child-safe" censoring servers. It ultimately depends on what your threat model is.
Substack (W18) | Full stack engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | https://substack.com

Substack lets writers start their own subscription publication - think paid blog/newsletter - where writers' and readers' incentives are aligned.

Over 50k people pay to subscribe to publications, and top writers are making six figures.

We use Node, Express, and Postgres on top of Heroku. React for frontend. Simple & effective so we can focus on solving problems for users.

We are 10 people. We raised a series A from a16z this summer and are thoughtfully building our early team. Two of our three founders are technical (the other is a writer) and we're looking for folks to work along side us, shipping things that touch thousands of writers and millions of readers.

Come join us! https://careers.substack.com
As far as I know, all of those scanners as deployed are millimeter-wave, not x-ray. They're not designed to penetrate the skin.
This comment is not directed towards you as much as the hospitals

1. All regulations are pretty far out the window at this point, nurses are already reusing single-use items all over the place.

2. Oh so since we can't protect everyone we can't protect anyone?

Technology SWAT Teams to Support New York COVID-19 Response

https://www.ny.gov/programs/new-york-state-covid-19-technolo...

New York State is launching technology driven products with leading global tech companies to accelerate and amplify our response to COVID-19. We are looking for impactful solutions and skilled tech employees to help. Individuals from leading global technology companies are being deployed across high-impact and urgent coronavirus response activities.

We have a particular need for professionals with experience in product management, software development / engineering, hardware deployment & end-user support, data science, operations management, design, or other similar areas.

Technology companies, universities, nonprofits, research labs, and other organizations with technology expertise are invited to submit an expression of interest.
I had a microwave that used a digital knob that was completely screwed up, from a debouncing perspective. You would turn the knob to try and add 30 seconds to the time and it would stutter between 5-10 seconds for a bit and then shoot up to 3 minutes and then you’d try to drop it down to 30 seconds and end up stuck between 1-2 minutes. It was infuriating! The old mechanical microwave dials were way more reliable than that piece of junk!
we have the zloty in Poland, though.
You would think so, but with enough lawyers, I think the hospital could claim it just didn't know what the risks were (does anyone, really) and made a good faith effort to protect the staff. Honestly I feel for the administrators too. I'm sure they don't relish choosing between a bunch of terrible options. The real beef I have is with the federal government. This attitude towards the states of 'you should be trying to get this stuff yourselves' is ridiculous. In the face of scarce resources there is only prioritization of the resources and working to increase overall capacity. Letting the states get in bidding wars ensures masks go to the richest states, not the states where the need is greatest.
Smart Static Server
I agree to that. That is a different intent than what vs code project has. And that is the fair right of a project/community.

PS: I think it is a pity that they prevent this. The branding and leadership alone will make VS Code the dominant player completely independent of what derived product ever be. The lack of open sourced vscode-server makes me really unhappy.
Are they (Doctors) misunderstanding the environment? Surely in this particular case, firing the Doctor looks bad on the hospital. Leverage/PR is with the Doctor. Perhaps I am reading it wrong.

Fascinating – about four months ago I did a lot research (i.e. googling) about versioned databases and I found lots of quite old stuff, but Noms did not show up on my radar. Looks very interesting!
If they remove it post-coronavirus, they will probably get a lot of leeway from the judge on the case.
If that's the case, then I think that qualifies as reasonably decentralized, at least for me.

Theoretically, anyone could make a work-alike resolver service that used their own Ethereum node to query for results; in which case any attempts to censor UD could be routed around by pointing opera to a different dns-over-http server (assuming that is configurable, which is really up to opera, not the protocol).

I do like that idea actually -- if I published a self-signed SSL cert for my domain on the Ethereum blockchain, that could be returned and used to validate my domain, without any sort of CA having to be involved. The only trust needed would be that the HTTP-DNS-Ethererum server itself wasn't lying about which public key owned the on-chain domain record.
>Lot's of people are allocated what are probably criminally small portions of the value they create.

My comment was written to elucidate why "value they create" is a useless sentiment. For example, none of the paintings in Louvre or whatever museum have any value to me. But they do to other people, so it would be impossible to have a consensus on "value". Some people like strawberries and would value them more than people who don't like strawberries.

The purpose of paying someone is to perform the desired work. The amount paid is the signal to the person performing the work that the work you want to be done should be done rather than someone else's.

The purpose of paying someone is not to provide them with some nebulous concept of value or to make sure they have a minimum standard of housing and fed, etc. Those goals should be accomplished by other means (UBI or some other type of societal welfare system).
The article states:

>"Here, while there are a number of members which have the same types, the layout of these such as the order of the members is rather different. There’s nothing wrong with that; however, it’s pieces like this that are part of each system’s ABI."

The author linked to the System V ABI and the processor-specific ABI docs and in the "Further Reading" section has links to the stdio header files. Are the system ABIs that are not covered by the System V ABI and the processor-specific ABIs always defined in header files then? There's no singular or centralized spec?
I think in that case you'd use a capture card on the PC and still continue to use your Mac.

Description: Postscript.io (YC W19) is hiring Full-time Product Engineers (Full Stack)

Postscript is a fully remote team of 20 looking for help in solving complex problems like real-time streaming data (1000's of events per second) on the back end and beautiful, simple ways of interacting with that data on the front end. We help ecommerce companies stay in touch with their customers (customer service, order management, and other notifications via text messaging).

The presumption here is that white and Asian men get extra help by default, and the rest are penalised. This has enough evidence in favour that I would call it a theory and not a hypothesis.

> The industry can correct itself or die off. If no one wants a product at a humane price then the industry should go extinct in a functioning society.

Okay, but is there a functioning society? Is there some welfare system where these people could take refuge?

I don't think so. These workers come all the way from some place where their situation wouldn't be any better, otherwise that's where they'd stay. Should the industry go extinct, they'd be strictly worse off.
Look, the vast majority of folks like to work. Some people will stop working but there are a number of older folks who worked as Doctors who are coming out of retirement to do their part.

I understand where you're getting this from but unfortunately it's an old conservative Meme that gave us such hits as "The Welfare Queen" - people legitimately don't like being on unemployment when they can be working. Perhaps we need to beef up social safety nets in general, and I'd be ecstatic if we came out of this crisis with a more healthy view of public healthcare - but this issue you're concerned about isn't an issue.

Some other things I enjoy: modernizing codebases using tools like ESLint and Prettier, autogenerating documentation, optimizing build times in CIs, refactoring code, adding tests.
It's a fallacy to say "people wouldn't buy the product because it's too expensive" when the product is food. People kinda have to buy food, no matter what. If every food producer is subject to the same regulations, every food retailer's prices will go up.

Countries tend to protect their agricultural industry from foreign competition fairly effectively, particularly for staples.
There is also nothing conditional about reporting progress, except in the sense that the progress is an indication of state.

According to a Honeywell PL/I reference manual, "a condition is a state of the executing program".

The progress of some activity being 50% through is a state of the executing program.

(All the built-in PL/I conditions are exceptional situations though. This is really the same use of the word "condition" that we find in "condition status register", a machine word that tells us via flags that exceptional situations have happened like numeric overflow.)

More likely to see DTI than fMRI today in practice for this sort of work.

Hallelujah, at least one auto maker is willing to publicly come out against this insane trend of making car controls visual only. I mean, one would think that when you are inside a ton of metal speeding along the road at 60 mph, you would insist on controls that allow you to have 100% of your visual attention on the road and rely on your other senses to change the channel on the radio or adjust the AC. But somehow people think driving a car should be something like playing candy crush on your tablet. That means going forward I'll always have a car manufacturer I can rely on to not sacrifice my safety for a marketing coolness. Too bad makers like Tesla (who have a lot of leadership in other areas) completely drop the ball in this regard.
> Isn't this a violation of OSHA safe workplace conditions?

The practices nurses/doctors are doing today are in violation of OSHA (mask/shield re-use and the like) and they would have been fired or strongly reprimanded just a few months ago for doing what they are being told to do now. To add insult to injury they aren't letting them protect themselves because it would further prove how unprepared these hospitals were.
I think the degree to which countries hide their numbers matches the degree to which they're authoritarian (or simply corrupt). North Korea sets the bar, with "zero" cases. Russia has suspiciously low numbers. Japan, surprisingly, is not doing well in this area. I think Japan early on was hell-bent on having their olympics happen regardless of the consequences, and their people are going to suffer for it.

Are you a likely customer? That is, are you a current influencer looking for a platform to sell things?

My general experience is that feedback from people who aren't in the target market has negative value. When entrepreneur friends ask me for hot takes, I used to just tell them whatever came to mind. Now, though, I refuse to that unless a) I have a lot of experience on the topic, or b) I'm in the target market.

I think that's especially true with branding and other style-related choices. A brand needs to work well for the people it's aimed at. But it's fine if it doesn't work for other people. Indeed, that's often better. E.g., nobody should ask me my opinion on branding youth fashion. If they make their product more appealing to me, it will almost certainly be less appealing to their actual customers.

Discovery is also the only way for a case of this nature to move forward. If it worked as you say it did, companies would be impervious to these sorts of lawsuits.

> you could reasonably expect it to happen with equivalent probability regardless of the defendant's liability.

Your premise is also flawed, because that is not a reasonable claim. False rape accusations approach nowhere near 50% despite the possibility of similar incentives.

> So the question is whether something the plaintiff does should be considered as evidence against the defendant.

No, this is something that the plaintiff has carried out in response to the defendants actions. A smart company wishing to dismiss a low-performer will have a paper trail that can corroborate their actions and get these sorts of frivolous cases thrown out.
This is not counterproductive. People have been mobbing the parks. The parks need to be closed. I live in Brooklyn and the groups I've been seeing until VERY recently are disturbing. When you close the parks, there's no where for groups of people to hang out. Need to go on a walk? Sure go on a walk and stay away from people. Not everyone needs to be on the street at the same time either. The reality is that in a densely populated city, parks or not, you can't find the distance unless you go out early morning or late at night and stay off the beaten path.

Gabriel's "Worse is Better" is still relevant and explains a lot (if not everything).
