So I am. I was reading off the GP's (incomplete) quotation it seems.
> There were shops you could drop your phone off at and have anew battery put in for fifty bucks in an hour overseas at least.

Actually I bought my iPhone 6S in Australia and had the battery replaced for free in Vienna under their battery replacement program. It was done in 45 minutes.
two seperate accounts starts with jerremy post links from same domain, is it ok to spam HN like this?
This is a superficial argument of a form the guidelines for the site ask you not to make. (I'm affiliated with Latacora, for what it's worth; you're just dead wrong about the commercial motivations here).
> Amazon is having a hold because demand for everything is up, because people are trying to avoid going outside to shop... And because their employees are concerned about their personal safety.

You cannot have it both ways - either employees are concerned for their safety and logistics therefore is affected or they are not and logistics is not affected.

> The MTA is unable to operate the NYC subway, because they have so many sick employees. Do you think a Krelminesque order to stop broadcasting bad news on the telly is going to defy reality, and get the subway running at full capacity, again?

MTA decided to cut the service on NYC subway because it projected a drop of demand. It is an organization has been been mismanaged for decades. I find it very difficult to believe that it would suddenly be making marginally optimal decisions in "the stay at home" environment.

> Italy has, over the span of 4 weeks, hit 300% of their regular seasonal flu deaths, and 50% of the hospitalizations, despite a lockdown but this apparently does not stop people on the internet from drawing false equivalences to the flu.

The vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths come from comorbidity.

> Do you have a better plan for dealing with a virus that sends more people to the hospital in 4 weeks, than the flu does in half a year? How many hospitalizations and deaths do you think they would have hit if cases continued to double every three days?

Order a stay at home for at risk population and population with comorbidity. Lift it from anyone else. Eat 10-15% hit to the economy rather than a total devastation. The mass poverty creating economic hit is going to destroy the medical system much faster than COVID-19.
It was a great read!
They introduced in direct response to people keeping their phones for longer--an more recent industry trend that has been well documented.
Interview with Sandra (Sandra Robles <sandra.robles@coinbase.com>) was a joke, she didn't know I was a triplebyte candidate and the languages I was familiar with were Python and JavaScript even though she said she read my resume then said that I wasn't a fit since coinbase is a very mission driven company and I don't seem to be exhibiting that. The other thing that was odd that she took down the posting for the data role during my call since 2 people were in the pipeline for onsites. She also said she could recommend me for backend as they were heavily hiring but later decided not to. This isn't so much a problem with coinbase as it is with the very common problem of recruiters not being able to identify talent well even though the engineering managers and engineers can.

Facebook is creating a more Open and Connected World. This little privacy incursions are the tax that you pay, as part of the social contract, to help bring the greatness of Facebook to others.

^ This is what Mark Zuckerberg tells government and journalists.

And you know what? If you are a Facebook user, he's right! Only non-users and people dragged onto the platform only to communicate with friends/family/partners who insist in Facebook-only communication, have a right to complain.

Sure, you can always pull out your camera and take a photo of your monitor, but usually what you want is to use a program to grab a screenshot - so that program is what needs to be able to take the screenshot in behalf of the user.
The CDC has no credibility. Here's some real advice:

1. Don't go out unless absolutely necessary.

2. If you go out, wear the highest specification mask available to you.

3. If you go out, wear the best eye covering available to you. Sealed goggles are ideal, but even a pair of sunglasses will provide protection.

4. If you have to improvise a mask, try to use a filter material better than cotton. Some ideas: Vacuum Bags, HEPA filters, Furnace Filters, Car Cabin Air Filters. Try to make a mask that seals well against your face.

5. If you have extra masks, donate them. You may want to wait to donate them until hospitals start routinely disinfecting and reusing their PPE, because otherwise the masks you donate may get used once and thrown out. Masks donated later may make more of a difference.

Do not feel shame about wearing a medical mask out. The most useless mask is the one that sits on a shelf while its owner is outside getting infected or spreading infection. You are not denying a healthcare worker a mask by wearing one. You are being responsible and not getting infected. If you don't infected, you don't go to the hospital and infect a healthcare worker. If you don't get infected, you don't spread the virus to anyone else, and they don't go to the hospital either.

Look in your garage. Many people have a few masks left over from painting or sanding or wildfires.
Lets say these lessons are a politics seminar discussing whatever PRC finds objectionable, then family of the student back in the old country get their social credit score deducted.

Or even better use those recording in the future as compromat as needed.
> The notion that we're all going to go out and start going to restaurants again amidst stories of people dying in hospital hallways for lack of medical equipment is ridiculous.

It's not as ridiculous as you think. Most people would just go about their lives and risk the disease because most people will be okay. If people weren't forced/threatened to quarantine, they wouldn't. If the nba season wasn't canceled, people would still attend the games. Same with baseball games, comedy clubs, concerts, etc.

The question is the cost-benefit analysis. What is lost and what is gained via the lockdown/shutdown and whether it is worth it.
Setting a task exclusive doesn't apply to tasks added after that task.

Need to iterate past self.
The cost is a factor, but the 7-10 day delay is far worse for me and it’s ~$10 shipping to get 2-3 day delivery.

Also, do we know for sure the Ingram warehouse employees are better treated than Amazon?
It cloud have more permissions.
But they did, though? I got an email telling me my battery was part of a replacement program before this throttling "scandal" broke. I had it replaced for free in Vienna (phone was bought in Australia) in 45 minutes. I had noticed the throttling taking place but it wasn't until the email that I knew about the fault.
Play dumb, say WA is broken on your phone, ask then to install Signal to work around. Use Signal with whoever agrees
It is a US company. It’s a US Public company.
The government already did that (Google the "tax holiday"). And US companies promptly used the money to buy back stock instead of investing in US facilities or employees, which is why it is unlikely it will happen again.
Yeah, I know, and I've certainly got blood on my hands here as I helped to implement dynamic linking in SunOS 4.0.

That said, there is a qualitative difference between an app as DAG where said DAG is restricted to only those nodes that are present on a given "release" which describes the entire graph, and an App which is a DAG on a set of subgraphs, each with their own notion of 'currency' and overlapping nodes with other subgraphs.
I don't know about the national level, but within major cities where tech salaries and Airbnb are both prominent, I'm curious to see what happens to the local real estate markets. I know many people in Austin and SF who can afford their home because they A. have a large salary working in tech and B. offset their mortgage by Airbnbing.
Difference is the orders of magnitude
Maybe I don't understand the question. Aren't the STM32 CDC libraries redistributable?

I appreciate both the thanks, and that you identified the source of the confusion. I also appreciate that you made it clear that you know what you're talking about and that I didn't really need to write such a long answer for you.

In good faith I'm addressing your comment about a security vendor's motivations. I don't really mind who it is or what industry it is. I expect a database company to talk down the capabilities of other database companies, even if they sometimes use or provide that company's products.
This is hardly normal times. Everyone is stressed, unable to access many resources (regardless of whether they can afford them), and dealing with unfamiliar situations. My work situation hasn't changed at all—I always work from home, and have a really good setup for avoiding distraction—and I'm at 50% productivity at best.
The problem with this virus is that it doesn't adequately select people with your attitude out of the population. You probably won't die. You'll just spread it and cause lots of other people die. Which is why it's so hard for public health officials to get traction. If people individually were afraid of dying then it would be easy. But it requires an act of care for someone beyond yourself to respond properly to this, and a lot of people just don't have the maturity to do that.

Now, it's possible that you do have the maturity but you're misinformed. Herd immunity the way you are suggesting does not get us through in two to three weeks. It's a full year of new waves sweeping through the population and millions dead in the USA, hundreds of millions around the world. And that assumes it doesn't mutate enough to bypass the immunity of those who have had it. Vaccination is the only way out, just like it with flu. We have been spared a flu pandemic by a combination of luck and massive monitoring and vaccination.

> stands a good chance of seriously damaging or destroying our civilization.

Where do people get this idea? The fastest path out with the least damage is full isolation and quarantine. There's a great line from epidemiologists: "If we could wave a magic wand and freeze everyone on Earth six feet apart for two weeks, this would be over." China is resuming operations. It's places that aren't responding well, like Iran or the USA, that are going to drive the world's suffering in this.

And let us be clear, the response in the USA has been utterly appalling. Speaking as someone who did his graduate work in infectious disease, the only question about Donald Trump's legacy is whether he will be remembered as the worst president the USA has ever had, or the second worse. It depends on whether you feel that intentional genocide (Andrew Jackson) or willful incompetence is worse.
Yes, very much “Learn a database”. That means “Learn JDBC” (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/index.ht...)

In fact, I’d suggest installing at least _two_ different dbs on your dev box, for example Postgres and MySQL. (Or, if you’re legacy-enterprise oriented, Oracle XE and MS SQL Server developer).

Then, select data from one, and insert into the other.

Bonus points if you avoid passwords in your checked-in code :-)

I got an email well before the throttling "scandal" broke out telling me my battery could be replaced for free. It was, 16,000KMs away from home, for free.

What was it Apple lied about?
That’s more of sales call than anything else. I’d expect the bank to follow up on loan applications.
It's actually a forgivable loan up to $10 million dollars (capped at actual amount of payroll excluding payroll taxes and withholding, utilities, and rent/mortgage for March, April, and May) that is not backed by anything at all. Generally, as long as you adhere to the conditions of the loan, it will be forgiven.

Source: helped my company apply for one of these "loans."

with an overhead railway you have the problem of getting people up and down from the platform, and it's only marginally less intrusive to the rest of the public realm than a ground-level railway is.

with an underground railway you do still have the same problem of getting people up and down to the platform, but you have the advantage of the railway being completely out of the way of anything else.
Have you tried anything else? It's really not great.

In good faith or otherwise, the site demands you assume good faith of the people you're arguing with. You cannot do that while calling people's statements "motivated". I speak with some authority on Latacora's "motivations". You're wrong about them (rather the opposite motivation exists), but that's besides the point: they aren't in bounds for discussion here. It would be similarly unfair for me to go look you up and call your affiliations into question.

You're wrong, quite obviously, about other things too. For instance: 'It is in the interest of nobody involved to submit "dubious" bug bounty reports'. In reality, the quality of bug bounty reports across all these platforms is a running industry joke. It's hard to believe anyone could run a public bounty program and believe that bogus reports were not a norm. They're practically all you get.

(I laughed audibly at the sentence in your post where you implied that P0 and Bugcrowd were organizations of similar stature and repute).
Well, that's how it is, and that's how it's been for decades.

Entire industries are taking the "best and the brightest", and wasting them on some of the most menial jobs imaginable.
Totally agree; it's really fun to hear how things like autocorrect evolved over the development of the iPhone, and really how the designers and engineers thought about their work at the time. It's also nuts to think that so much of the iPhone software and experience was done inside of 18 months.

> This has been known for a long time.

Is that true? I don't want to be inflammatory here but as far as I've seen there isn't much research to show that laypeople's use of masks is effective and there have even been some possible mechanisms suggested that could even make it worse than wearing no mask.

And furthermore I don't think that just because healthcare workers are recommended to wear masks that makes it "obvious" that they would be effective for laypeople too. Healthcare workers have full sets of PPE and also strict procedures and facilities for using them/putting them on/taking them off/etc that could potentially nullify the usefulness of that PPE if not followed.

If there really is research to show otherwise then I would be very curious to see it. Most of what I've seen so far specifically focuses on their use by healthcare workers.

EDIT: One promising datapoint for the pro-mask camp is that infection rates do seem to be slowing down in the Czech republic since making mask-wearing mandatory there. For a while there didn't seem to be any change but looking at the data again today, there does seem to be a decrease.
I would think about:

A. Close the studio to stop the rent bleed. That, as others have said, is the landlord’s problem. Seek legal advice to do it right.

B. Focus on the online content space but partner with teachers to share profits. Teachers are unemployed too without the studio.

C. Focus on live classes. People are home and as social creatures we crave social connections. Innovate. Maybe have users all join a multi-way Facetime or other live session video. This lets teachers and students connect and can help with coaching and social interaction.

D. Market. Market. Market. Use social. Connect with current customers and explain what you want to offer. Give away short classes to draw people in.

E. Maybe take a small loan (not sure what government programs you can access) and help employ some great teachers as partners in all this virtual fun. Maybe seek a grant.

F. Learn from all this and make a course on how to take a studio (yoga and beyond) boldly into these uncharted waters. Charge for this content as it will be a valuable business strategy guide to other studios.

G. Seek out health care companies, hospitals, fire stations, police, etc. All of which are on duty and stressed as hell. Yoga can help. This fight needs to be managed for the long run. Keeping first responders in good physical and mental shape is vital.

H. Following ALL medical guidelines & Gov rules etc.
MAYBE offer a very widely spaced yoga program outside in a park for less than the allowed group size. Get some wireless speakers and space em out. Draw on the ground to ensure more-than-very-safe spacing. Social experience at a distance. I am NOT/NOT advocating a big (or even medium) group thing there. Follow! all! regulations! And then triple the separation. Zero chit chat after class. Mamaste & go your separate ways. Give free slots to some doctors/nurses to keep it even safer and benefit awesome medical professionals!

And good luck.
Because before laptops included cameras we used to buy Logitech USB cameras to attach to our laptops.

> No, because that wasn't my original claim.

I said:

And you said: "No".

Either you were saying "no" to my assertion that the OP was advocating for central planning by default, or you were saying "no" to my assertion that such a position is extreme. Please clarify.

> My position was that we explore how he understands the concept of "democratically planned economy" rather than jumping to Soviet conclusions.

OP is a self-professed literal Trotskyist. Trotskyists were (among) the original Soviets. I'm not jumping to any conclusions. It is quite plainly implied by the label.
@metaweta: The technical side is interesting, but seems like the admin side would be too; how did the administration and contract side play out?

Someone needed to front an estimated $100k of GPU costs, without being sure it would work - and then pay for your work on top; who risked that? You had no proof the claimed Bitcoins inside were real, or as many as claimed. You're in New Zealand(?) and the customer is in Russia - you need the file to study it and if you crack it then you have the Bitcoins as well - how did they become comfortable that you wouldn't steal them and say you couldn't crack it? Did it worry you that the owner might not be able to convert them to cash, e.g. if the Exchange was shady and there was very little recourse?

How much work did it take to convince your partner to stop what they were doing, and write GPU code for a crack which might not work?
Just to be clear, that's in the context of talking to companies, not when a friend calls you up? Because I'm not sure if it's because I'm just thick or because I'm not natively English but it can be understood (as my sibling comment seems to do) as literally never talking to anyone unless you called them.
