Indeed. It's one of the Atlantis theories. Idea is that as North American ice disappeared the land lifted up, Atlantis was on the other end of that plate and went down into the sea respectively.

Randall Carlson has some interesting theories.
ULA didn't lose very expensive government satellites with no explanation. In fact, there are no notable ULA launch failures.

You get what you pay for: with ULA, your payload makes it to orbit/space every time. With SpaceX, there's a significant non-zero risk of losing your payload, and that risk discount is what lets SpaceX undercut ULA. (That risk discount is also why SpaceX has to severely undercut ULA; the economics from a customer perspective wouldn't work out if SpaceX were only a small discount from ULA prices.)
I don't think you're a bad person, or even poor that your philosophy is entirely wrong, and I don't think you hate people. I do however think you and I should focus on improving government rather than removing government - for example, rather than saying we can't have a free lunch program, let's figure out other places taxpayer money is being wasted, eliminate those leaks, and use the money we get from that to fund this program. Let's automate as many functions as we can (for example, online driver license renewal and mail-in voting) to reduce the labor costs while reaching higher levels of efficacy. These are just some examples, but I think there is an intrinsic part of your argument - that government is the cause of problems - that assumes that any action taken will have consequences that outweigh the good of the action. I don't believe that is the case if we are truly attempting to solve the problem and not, for example, just taking into consideration a set of KPIs.
The key to this is better testing and positive interventions. Right now we are just flattening the curve, but there are a couple things that could help speed up a return to normal life long before a vaccine:

1) Widespread, accurate testing: For example, if we could test everyone in a few minutes before they enter a workplace or home that could go a long way to enabling many activities to restart.

2) Improvements to treatment: If some relatively safe malaria drug or other intervention can reduce the severity of the disease such that treatment requires days instead of weeks and/or doesn't require ventilators/ICU this would be a huge boon. Less people would die, most importantly, but also the healthcare system would be able to handle many more cases, further reducing the need for extreme social disruption like we are doing now.

I'm personally optimistic that at least some material progress will be made on both fronts in the near future. A planet full of very smart people is working on this.
Career question:

I am a college dropout in middle management at a startup in Europe. Recently I started studying law part time and would like to transition into a role related to my new field of study.

What are some entry level fields at a startup involving legal knowledge you can recommend? At my current org I mainly see opportunities in regulatory affairs and employment law.

Do you think this strategy is worthwhile or should I study full time instead and get a student loan?

Not sure how neglecting to inform users of throttling is some kind of improvement.

They have an article about hardware microphone disconnects, prolonging battery life, etc. yet they neglected to write an article about hardware throttling.

It's almost as if they had a hardware problem and instead of issuing a recall, they quietly pushed a software fix. No, that can't be it.
Corporate employees don't do that. They have "juicers". Gig economy workers who pick the scooters late at night, in rented vans or their personal pick-up trucks. They charge the scooters and then re-distribute them early in the morning.

The post I'm responding to is a stanford researcher who is posting about lyme disease. Is she a lyme sufferer? If she is she doesn't say so, and I'm not making any assumptions.

You are attacking me for saying "lyme people" even as you use "lyme patients" in the same sentence. There is no difference: both use lyme as an adjective to define a subpopulation using a completely innocuous starting population ("people" v "patients"). I'm just starting with a bigger group, because unaffected family, friends, etc can have these opinions too.

I read a few articles about Grothendieck when he died, but I still learned a lot from this one.

Those articles usually skipped over his early years as some version of anarchy. This one better fills in those gaps. For example, I didn't realize how haphazard Grothendieck's early professional progress was, or that it depended on an interview with a French education official who recognized unorthodox talent:

> “Instead of a meeting of twenty minutes, he went on for two hours explaining to me how he had reconstructed, ‘with the tools available’, theories that had taken decades to construct. He showed an extraordinary sagacity.”

It reminds me of Ramanujan, another exceptionally gifted and devoted mathematician who acquired most of his education on his own, and was very nearly lost to history but for the efforts of a few well-connected officials who could see his potential. Conversely, what a bummer it is to think of similar talents who didn't get so lucky.

It also gets at just how much the culture of math education matters to math students, even ones like Grothendieck:

> [Grothendieck] felt free to ask questions, but also found himself “struggling to learn things that those around him seemed to grasp instantly […] like they had known them from the cradle”. The contrast lead Grothendieck to eventually leave Paris, in October of 1949 on the advice of Cartan and Weil who recommended he instead travel to Nancy to work with Schwartz and Dieudonné on functional analysis.

And this was a guy whose internal mathematical drive was strong enough to independently discover measure theory as a teenager!

Then there are all the other "failures" absent from a short biographical blurb: he finished his PhD "with few prospects for employment after his graduation in 1953", then "planned to write a book on topological vector spaces, but it never materialized", spent a year failing to solve the "approximation problem", despaired that the field of his thesis was "dead", pivoted away from analysis, rest is history, etc.

The difference is that, in practice, if you're "just" a large non-IT enterprise or "just" a cloud provider, then you're not implementing the whole solution any more, only half of it.

If you're, say, Box, you're implementing only the endpoint, and mostly don't need your own directory, because all your customers bring their own. If you're, say, IBM, you're implementing only the raw directory, but rely on cloud providers to actually interpret it, rather than hosting any of your own Intranet. And if you're Joe SMB, then you're implicitly using GSuite as your SAML-exposed directory through OpenID Connect, and you don't need an IT department for this at all.

(And even if you're an enterprise who also writes your own cloud services, then this is still a change for you, because your endpoints are probably now written "generically" with a SAML interface—treating your own directory as just one among many, talking to it through a public exposure—rather than interfacing directly to it as a privately-configured PAM binding on your servers et al. In other words, now your services [and the departments providing them] are decoupled from your directory, because they both just see each-other through the lens of SAML, and so don't know that your company's employees are any different than a client company's employees.)

My point is no need to target preservation of equity value but instead ensure those facing job loss are supported.

He started drinking more during the week and has mentioned several times that he is very sad and can't wait for this to be all over. I know that there are thousands of people in the exact same scenario.

People shouldn't be using alternative name systems. It causes a huge amount of pain and has been known to do so for several decades now. See: https://jdebp.eu/FGA/dns-use-domain-names-that-you-own.html

The best advice is to use a REAL name, that you own. The second best advice is to, if for some reason you insist on using a fake name, pick something with a low probability of causing collisions. .crypto has a very high probability of causing collisions and is thus a terrible choice.
I guess the forgivable SBA loans in the US might have a similar effect?
My point being that we have significantly better data to inform us on exactly how to reduce the transmission rate, we have constantly-improving testing methods, we have the ability to research medicines than can help, we have the ability to research a vaccine.

> so unless you're actually losing money on furlough

Also UK and I am losing money as it's 80% up to 2500 pre month if your employer doesn't top it up, so for me that's a large pay cut, that said given the way things are I'm happy to take that cut knowing I'll still have twice what I need to cover the next 3 months before I have to touch my savings.

Whether I'll have a job at the end of whatever the lockdown period ends up been I've no idea, I think most likely I will but we'll have to wait and see, fortunately I'd been saving so I have enough to cover me from June well into next year in my "can access this money right now" account.

My job of 9 years ended the last day of February. My plan was to take two weeks off and start looking for another job mid-March.

I've been ready to change jobs, but I find job searches while I have a job frustrating. Each opportunity is a huge investment in time. Honestly, I find it easier to search for a job when I can give it my full and undivided attention.

To make a long story short, I dropped a hint that I was ready to leave voluntarily under the right circumstances, but I didn't anticipate the whole COVID-19 thing happening just as I was starting my job search. I never anticipated that, the exact week that I planned on looking for a job, daycare would close, and everyone else in the industry would join the job search.

So anyway, what am I looking for? Priorities:

0: You can pay me

1: You need someone with almost 20 years development experience

2a: Ideally, I'd like to join an early stage company that has a "bubblegum and duct tape" version of their product on the marketplace, and now needs someone to make it better

2b: Or, I'd like to join a company with demonstrated product-market fit and write the first version of their product

3: I'd like to work with some languages, frameworks, toolkits that I don't have experience with (But otherwise, I have about 18 years experience in C#)

4: I don't really care if it's web, mobile, desktop, full-stack, ect. (But the last 9 years was a desktop product.)

Dang,

Yours are the only comments I always read.

Thanks for all the stuff you do. Wouldn't have thought you coded too! That's good to know.

I've also had to do tests in production occasionally and hope nobody notices! Good that your code wasn't tied up to the number of upvotes, otherwise you would have a different problem on you hands!
Not laid off, but in limbo. I accepted a new job at the end of February that was originally supposed to start on 3/30. Unfortunately, my start date is now up in the air due to logistical issues getting my hardware so I can start work. I no longer have a confirmed start date.

It's a bummer because I resigned from my previous position on 3/13 so I could have time in between jobs. Now I'm getting a lot more time than I planned and I'm hoping my new job doesn't evaporate. I'm excited to work with this company and team so I am keeping my fingers crossed for now.

If my new job does disappear, I would really like to find an opportunity working with Clojure(Script) and/or Kubernetes.

One of the all-time smartest people I’ve ever met worked a bar in Bergen, Norway; autodidact in anything which caught his fancy, he could give you a lecture on what brought down the Scythians, serve a new guest and striking up a conversation on advances in semiconductor fabrication with him, picking up where he left off the lecture on the Scythians before heading out to see if any of the patrons outside wanted anything, having a quick word on the Poincaré conjecture with the math postgrad having a beer in the backyard...

He had studied for a while at the university before figuring out that he’d have more time to study if he didn’t have to concern himself with exams, quit, kept his uni library card and got down to it.

Not sure about TOS as I didn't watch much of it, but from TNG onwards, everyone has luxury quarters on Starfleet starships, of roughly equivalent size. I remember watching some youtuber calculating how much space of Enterprise-D is used for various purposes; from there I've learned that a typical quarter would be ~35 sqm if you were single, 45 sqm if you were a family.

(With the exception of the Defiant, TNG-era Starfleet ships tended to be luxury liners.)

The reason credit cards exist - and why Visa and Mastercard are worth $800 billion - is that people, on average, do not manage their money effectively enough to come out ahead. Their average customers come out so far behind, instead, that the credit card companies can afford the occasional default and they can afford to offer rewards and the automatic 0% interest loans to try to entice more customers.
