>> why would this be on your online storefront if you don't have the inventory for me to actually buy?

Twofold:

1) They're betting that you'll still buy something once you're surrounded by merchandise.
2) This allows them to play games with shrink, imventory, and insurance.
There are few universal truths, but one of them is this: Things can always get worse. (Even if that might be unlikely at any given time.) At this moment, we have enough normal food to not need to dip into the emergency stuff, though it's getting more challenging. Plus, we rather prefer normal food.

Basically, we don't consider our current situation an emergency yet.
For me, the Foursquare of today is a more accurate, more up-to-date Yelp. I find it more useful now than when it was first released as a check-in app. Not all pivots are net negatives.
Well... there's a thing called the "literal meaning" and sometimes there's another "figurative meaning"... and as you grow up you'll end up knowing the figurative meaning of a phrase quicker until it's second nature.
Forgive me, I'm not sure what you mean. I perceive that the difference between them and me is professional training; I am a mathematician, in the Theory of Computation, and their training is in areas without the same consciousness about exponential growth.

The meeting was a Ham Radio club and so draws from a wide range including both white collar and blue. I didn't mean to talk down about the folks there, who are generally intelligent and thoughtful, and I only told that story to illustrate that the typical person was not thinking about hunkering even that close to the lockdown moment.
Apple needs to deprecate IDFAs and the business models of all these location tracking apps will come crumbling down. If you can't identify users, then the point is moot.
Average net monthly salary in spain is €1200. €500, assuming access to a house and free healthcare would allow for an extremely frugal life - also, keep in mind that many people would still work, so there would be money on top of that.

But, like you said - €500 would reduce their budget to zero.
I imagine UBI would be less for underaged - say €150/month (which is what government pays for every child in Poland btw). This reduced the budget requirements by, say 20% - so, they’d need around 260B.

Then, with UBI, you can dismantle parts of the retirement system. I couldn’t find the proper figures for Spain, but in Poland it is a half of the government spending or something like this. If Spain is similar, then they’d save €100-200B on this p/a.

That’s still 100-200B short, but you can generate extra savings by getting rid of unemployment benefits and some other social safety nets.

Also, Spain’s budget is €400B, not €320B from what I found (https://www.statista.com/statistics/275333/government-revenu...).

I’m not sure it’s feasible, but it’s not totally crazy either.
Which is why the medical community basically shrugged at Tesla's PR pronouncement about being the white knight that will save everyone with their DIY ventilators built from car parts that might arrive sometime within 18 months if they stick to the normal Tesla production schedule.

And that was before Tesla mixed up BiPAP machines with actual ventilators...
Do you have Amazon Fresh available? You might have to check through the day to get a slot, but it's been a life saver for our family.
IMO, this can only be a temporary, emergency measure to counter the economic cost of the pandemic.

As you point out UBI is otherwise completely unaffordable on an ongoing basis.
Ok, this is all very useful, thank you kindly.
This is the sort of false equivalency that leads to claims that they all lie, so it's okay if Fox egregiously lies. We see this on HN all the time where someone stomps their feet and cries about a news headline that they think doesn't convey just the right slant that they want, ergo it's the same as the guy inventing bullshit conspiracy theories on his blog.

No, they weren't "chastising" Trump over the China travel ban because there was no China travel ban. There was a Wuhan restriction only applicable to foreigners. Thousands of Americans were going and coming with no restrictions whatsoever. Fly into Wuhan, lick the toilet seats, fly back home. Do it the next day.

There was zero screening. Zero containment. Zero listening to the pandemic experts.

No, they aren't the same. This revisionist "they were dismissing the virus" nonsense is utter horseshit of the worst kind. It is a lie of profound ignorance and gullibility, or an intentional lie, and both are just as obnoxious.
I was in the position of having to review people's browsing history, and occasionally their emails, at a large company. We were in charge of all internal investigations: phishing, malware, suspicion of IP theft or misconduct, and even micromanagers who wanted to see if their employees were slacking off or working at the times they claimed.

We never looked at anyone's activity without a clear reason, but that reason wasn't always very justifiable by my personal standards. However, I'd say most of it was necessary (like when tracing root cause of an alert or infection). My naive guess is this is probably pretty close to how it is in most big US companies.

For the times that were unnecessary (assessing "productivity"), our team, including our managers, always tried to provide as much evidence and guidance as possible that would work in the employee's favor, because we all knew it was complete bullshit and a big overreach. It's also very difficult to tell exactly what someone was or wasn't doing at specific times just by their browsing history. (We didn't have screen recording spyware or anything like that.) I'd say 98% of investigations were necessary and 2% were bullshit like those.

Reading emails or IMs was extremely rare and reserved for people replying to scammers/phishers, or accusations of serious misconduct or crimes.

“Everyone in the banking industry has blocked Zoom” was my qualifier.

The U.K. even held a cabinet meeting over Zoom.

There’s a lot more than schoolwork taking place on Zoom unfortunately.
Yes. Usually I can attribute it to sleep or hydration or exercise etc, but since you've ruled them out, sometimes I've found it can be due to an unmet emotional need, often loneliness or anxiety (currently dealing with this). It's like the brain just refuses to stick on the thing I want it to. Took me a long time understand this, as emotional awareness isn't the easiest thing for me. Meditation has helped to get in touch with what's going on.
We do have Amazon Fresh, it's just been hard to get slots.

When you 'check through the day', can you say roughly how many times you are checking? Thanks!
Doing that basically hands whatever is left of retail after this coronavirus to Amazon.

Brick and mortar has so few tools to compete comparatively. The big guys even buy our data from equifax/transunion to improve marketing efforts.
Yes.

For me it correlates to elevated stress either in the moment or the few days (or weeks) before. If I've also not slept well or enough, I notice it faster.

I no longer consider it a thing to be fixed, but a fact of life. Delivering at 100% of "potential" every day is not really normal, and some of my most productive moments are in days I've consciously accepted I won't accomplish "normal" amounts, and end up solving some unsolved problem because my brain had the space to process it.

It works out in the end. :-)
Actually, I think what they're saying is that voters will die, and therefore reduce the number of available votes.

Edit: and, of course, that this effect will dispropotionately affect political tribes whose propagandists under-, rather than over-, estimated the dangers of covid-19.
Yes. I suspect it boils down to body chemistry. When I have caffeine, my recall is quicker and I'm more creative and focussed. Unfortunately, I can't stay caffeinated all day or my eye starts to pulsate and it feels like my heart is racing.

If I could maintain my caffeine 'high' all day, I'd be much more successful, but it's not worth the health risk. I do alright, financially, in spite of that, but I'd like to accomplish more meaningful work. The comparison of my work between my morning coffee high and afternoon crash is night and day.

I took Adderall once. I don't know it it was a placebo effect or not, but I knocked out a complicated physical simulation model (that I'd been puting off for months) in about 5 hrs, and to this day I've found very few errors in that model. ...I'm just saying.
This is an actual legit emergency.
I can confirm as a GSUITE Enterprise admin and that this is correct and is done at multiple companies I've worked for, for a variety of business use-cases (things like detection of data-exfiltration, compliance, regulatory monitoring, lawsuit investigations, etc...)

Courts (at least in the US) have repeatedly ruled that employees have no reasonable expectation of privacy when using company email systems.
I received an email on February 19 from Stripe where they notified us they are no longer returning the Stripe fee when you issue a refund to a customer. Previously they would return the whole fee or a partial fee in the case of a partial refund.

* We’ll no longer return Stripe’s fees from the original transaction when you refund a customer.*

While this isn't a huge deal because we don't issue that many refunds, it seems a bit petty to stop returning these and we'll have to make sure our accountant treats this correctly. I'm guessing they ran the numbers and realized this would add up to quite a bit across all their customers.
Indeed, and they have this tool https://github.com/cdr/code-server which is pretty much like vscode in a web browser launched through a potential remote server. Is Theia any better?
RPKI in ARIN space is questionably annoying to do. I still haven't been able to add anything to my new allocations.

As a bonus, my US upstream doesn't care if I have RPKI/ROA/IRR - even if I do, they ask for dead tree LOA anyway.

When I sent a dead tree to one of my EU upstreams out of habit they were like "what do I need this for?"
If you have a character/block device that does read/write ops, you'd probably get io_uring support for free.

>People who want to learn about a subject at depth are still helped by simple and accessible descriptions.

I don't see this as being always true. For example, scientific papers are written in such a way that normally you need a great deal of understanding in a field to read them. Making them accessible would mean either removing or explaining all domain specific knowledge in each paper. Expecting the reader to acquire the knowledge elsewhere and then read the paper with the knowledge makes a group of papers more accessible than if each paper did either of the options making them simple.

In the same way, the wikipedia page on integration by parts does a better job of explaining what it means than if it took the time to explain what a function is, what a variable is, what an integral is, what a product is, what an antiderivative is, or what the common notation it uses. I bring these up because these are all assumptions made before you even get to the table of contents of the article. If the article was simple enough that someone who didn't know any of those concepts could understand the same information presented in the first paragraph, you would have a significant introduction to mathematics that would slow down those who have some basic calculus knowledge seeking to refresh or get a summary of what integration by parts is.
It was a fake news story.

Ask HN: What can an experienced engineer uniquely learn by joining AWS?
I work at a well known company in the Bay area. I make close to 380k, subject to market conditions.

I don't know if they can be delivered, but frozen vegetable can be kept forever and are often better than "fresh" supermarket vegetable because they are frozen right after being picked, so they actually are fresher.

Humm that sounds pretty good. Not the thing I remember liking about it but certainly I could go for something beyond the noise of Yelp with all the "I had a bad time this one time" and "This place isn't as good as that place that is 3x as expensive" or the worst of "I think Pizza Hut is the peak of cuisine but I ended up at this french place and it sucked!" It seems all services sort of devolve into that noise.
Wow. The credibility of Forbes...
The problem is that the channel is named "fox news", but they have both news shows (which are actually not bad), and opinion programming, which is pretty terrible. I suspect most people don't really make a distinction between the two.
It is a common attribute of 'civilian' fruit trees that the ground beneath them is littered with rotting fruit (and that fruit is a pathogen vector).

We miss a lot of opportunities, and not taking them has lingering consequences.
It's a fake news story, therefore the definition of the word "universal" is meaningless.
So I have this too, try googling 'brain fog'.

I've been trying for years to figure out exactly what causes it. Searching online gives you hundreds of possible causes, for ages I thought it was gluten in my diet, sugar, anxiety causing it, and to some extent I think all of these do affect it.

Recently though I've noticed that sleep might be causing it, specifically breathing through my mouth when I sleep causes me to have a foggy feeling throughout the day, so I'm working on trying to breathe through my nose for the whole night now.

Hope this helps!

When you get to the level of analyzing packet data, the first obstacle is actually capturing the conversations that you may find relevant. While a capture filter can help on the acquisition, it is possible that an error in the filter could exclude relevant hosts, or ports, or protocols. In general wide open captures will then lead to very large capture files.

Wireshark performs poorly with opening such a large trace. Since Engineer's are costing well north of $150 per hour, having them twiddle their thumbs waiting is not economical or efficient.

Enabling a survey and filtering of the data as soon as possible from the pcap file will allow interactive examination. With Brim that identified data can be exported as a filtered, and thus much smaller file. This is similar to what tools such as Riverbed's Packet Analyzer do. PA is a .net front end to tshark type filtering and reporting. It ships with a number of useful filters to survey for common problems.[1]

Brim and Zeek appear to fill the need between Packet Analyzer on one hand and a regular Wireshark workflow on the other.

If the 3DS hadn't been popular, Nintendo would be where Sega is by now.

This is revisionist. Nintendo is a pile of cash with a game development arm attached. Unlike SEGA, Nintendo could release a thousand unpopular consoles and still keep going.
I’ve been working on the same project for over 15 years. It’s been written in C, C++, Python, Ruby, Java and Scala. It had an XWindows front end, Swing front end and now a simple web front end (but there is talk of moving to Vue or React.) It ran on the local machine, then shared web hosting, and now AWS. It’s used flat files, SQL and Mongo for storage.

Currently it’s in the shop because I decided to rip everything into microservices and deploy it using Kubernetes.

Along the way I learned 2 things. First, I like solving the same problem over and over again with different technology. You learn both the new technology and uncover aspects of your problem you hadn’t seen before. Second, it’s important to release. I’ve got a website with 75% of the links broken, and the only visitors are me and the googlebot, but it’s released. There’s an artifact I can show my wife or my brother without firing up an IDE. It makes a big difference with respect to a sense of accomplishment (despite the broken links.)
They don't know the cost to ship you things until they know what's going to be in your cart and what address it's getting mailed to. Shipping costs are based on package dimensions, weight, and distance between the sender and recipient. This is the reason that in nearly every ecommerce platform, shipping costs get displayed at the second to last step of the checkout process, or in the shopping cart only if you provide your zip code there. They don't have the information needed to run a postage quote any earlier.
> This exec sounds like the weakest link.

You don't know how this exec managed to get their position. Also, if they are still at the stage they can fake their numbers, whatever these may be, OP is screwed. It may take time for the exec's obvious incompetence to start to show.

EDIT: also, a manager or executive is NEVER in a weaker position compared to "individual contributors". They can still fire your ass until their last day of employment.
Oh sorry, I wasn't disagreeing with you, just expounding on your point. You were perfectly clear!
I struggled with this for years. Finally made it over the hump a couple years ago and started finishing things.

The one key question for any side project I consider starting now is:

"Will I use this myself?"

Building something that makes your life easier is a huge motivator to get through the slog days. And if you're considering trying to sell it later it's nice know you have a market size of at least 1, which is more than many startups.
I would always treat emails like they are readable by anyone at any time regardless of permissions.
Child Welfare Benefit is completely different to UBI.
> This is an actual legit emergency.

No disagreement; remember, we consider every box that arrives as potentially life threatening. And we're quite aware of the local, national and global scope and impact.
> The decision not to work and live off of UBI is only attractive to people who are currently working many hours and earning about the same as what UBI is offering

The evidence of people usually choosing to retire upon reaching the age they are able to receive much smaller stipends than their current earnings suggests otherwise. Many people value their free time highly, and a poverty wage to a single parent living in rented accommodation can be quite comfortable when doubled and applied to a homeowning couple with savings for rainy days.
I think most people would be better off abandoning Apt or RPM and use containers, Snap, AppImage or switch to a distro like Arch/Alpine.

The way to win is to refactor and reorganize properly. Unfortunately that is a difficult task in both management and politics as every special interest involved with the power to change is selfish towards their own goals. How democratic vs dictatorial only changes how the interests are distributed.
Black Scholes, VaR, factor models, CAPM, modern portfolio theory, etc are all based on the normal distribution and are all still used in industry today.

Sadly I feel like it's the opposite for me, most days I'm running at half speed, and on a "good" day it's like I have a different brain - I process things more rapidly, I'm more optimistic, I get more done, etc.

I suspect it's sleep related because I can generally feel how the day is gonna go within 10 minutes of being awake, but the frustrating part is that hours of sleep seems to have little bearing on how refreshed I feel in the morning. There is some correlation there, but not enough to say it's all about the hours.

It's not sleep apnea or any known sleep disorder either, so please withhold the ensuing deluge of HN faux Dr's and their google-fu diagnoses ;)

I don't recall this being an issue much in my 20's, maybe this is what aging is like. I've had to resort to just taking advantage of good days and doing as much work as possible, and then on bad days I'll just do mundane work I normally would otherwise not want to do.

So at least for me - yes having good and bad days is entirely normal.
