All these things will be back to normal by next summer. But as far as this year goes, it’s a wrap.

We’ll be lucky if people goto NYC for the holidays this year, visit Rockefeller Center and the tree, Broadway, etc. The biggest tourist spot in the nation is also the epicenter of the virus now.
FWIW, it's been shown that you can't transmit the virus through food. Your only risk with takeout is the packaging it comes in.

When we get takeout, I unload it outside into our own containers, using one hand to open the takeout and the other hand to handle my own container. For things I can't transfer, I wipe them with a Clorox wipe.

Then everything gets wiped down again inside, just in case.

It's a bit much, but it's been nice supporting our favorite local restaurants in the hopes that they still exist when this is over.

>Socialism is social ownership of the economy

Having a large portion of the population with fractional ownership over a broad portion of the economy (via ETFs, etc.) sounds a lot like "social ownership of the economy" to me.

Unless, by social, you mean "equal" ownership (as GP points out).

They could just as easily say, "Data reviewed did not demonstrate convincing evidence of safety from doses of thimerosal used in vaccines."

Placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials have never been completed to evaluate the safety of thimerosal. Partly because it would be unethical to inject a known toxin into people to determine it's safety.

If these trials had been done, and health authorities were convinced it was safe, they would allow thimerosal in vaccines because it is a huge cost saver. But instead, through the actions they took, they made it clear it is not worth the risk.

As an environmental engineer I've witnessed this tactic over and over. Authorities claim there is no evidence of danger, but remove the toxin anyways, because they know it's danger is plausible, and the funding and time isn't there to prove it one way or the other. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

It's not like they are going to say, "we think we may have poisoned people, so we're removing this toxin." That's a great way to destroy your livelihood, reputation, and invite prosecution.
Zoom CEO apologizes for having 'fallen short' on privacy and security
It is impossible to reopen without Taiwan-style temperature checks & mask requirements outside buildings, contact tracing, large-scale testing, and quarantine enforced by penalty of law (with corresponding support systems - get the police to do something useful and bring people groceries). Anything else and we'll be right back in lockdown inside of a month.
Seriously. The main argument of this article is assuming Zoom encrypts uncompressed video data. That is not what is happening here.
I'm talking about the UI, not the sprites. The buttons and fonts are TIIIINY.
People trust them even though their security is broken. Lots of people don't know, lot don't care, quite a few probably don't get it anyway.
Well, start an antifragile business. Currently it seems to be Zoom and the like, logistics systems (workforce planning, last-mile delivery planning) and similar that are in bigger demand due to job cuts (harder to do all the work with less people).

The thing now people need the most is the thing you can do.
"... and then they came for me". Obviously that poem was written about something rather more serious than your privacy but the point stands.
Those cost more.
You've got it correct -- that is Japanese culture. Perhaps there are exceptions, it wouldn't surprise me if they exist -- but the norm is what you wrote.
Using code without understanding its implications would fall in the gross incompetence category.
I work for neither, and the claim itself is vague, as it lacks any technical facts.

"purported capabilities to monitor users" can mean anything from full on CIA spy-mode with pema-enabling audio and video and 24/7 recording to logging their IP address when they visit a website.
Mostly, if you opt in: https://caniuse.com/#feat=same-site-cookie-attribute . SameSite=Lax will still send cookies for some types of GET requests, depending on the complexity of your site and UX there are ways to be more protected (with SameSite=Strict, cookie pairs etc.)

Once all browsers behave like Chrome is trying to (SameSite=Lax by default) we will have dramatically less CSRF on the web. Other browsers are likely to adopt this change eventually if Chrome sticks with it. You will at least need to consider users with out-of-date browsers for a while yet (and implement XSRF tokens and/or explicitly opt-in to Lax/whatever).

The old behaviour will still (and always?) be around with SameSite=None. It has uses, but misuses could create CSRF vulnerabilities. There will still be CSRF problems on the web but it will get a lot rarer and, mercifully, not the default.

"Trickle down stimulus" is not an economic theory. It's a criticism of supply side economics, equivalent to calling Keynesian economics "money printer go brrr" stimulus.

Arguably, corporate bailouts like we're seeing now ARE a Keynesian stimulus because they're meant to keep businesses afloat while consumer demand has fallen off a cliff so that they can continue to do business (i.e. maintain demand for business inputs). Few if any of these corporations are taking the bailout money and investing it in capital infrastructure.

The bigger issue is that the "current path" is to use both Keynesian stimulus and supply-side stimulus with no regard for the deficit. At some point, unless the US has another WWII-like economic expansion, all the debt we've created to fuel these policies will need to be paid back, either explicitly or implicitly through inflation.
This isn't hard to believe. MySQL basically started out as a key-value store pretending to be a relational database. If you wanted to do KV stuff and didn't care too much about data corruption (or knew the five zillion magic incantations to mostly avoid them) it was fast. But If you wanted joins or expected the query optimizer to do anything for you, you were SOL.
This does not describe most businesses, ever, especially not most small businesses.

Small businesses have always lived relatively hand-to-mouth existences, and the "profits" are usually enough to cover the owner's equivalent of a salary.
I think you might be missing the bigger picture. You have a company that the "Ministry of State Security
of the People's Republic of China" can easily hack to spy on American children and businesses. What could go wrong?

>But inflation! No. The government can set up price controls on profiteering. But besides that, this fresh money is there to keep the economy at a steady state - specifically to avoid a black-hole depression.

This is flat wrong and deeply ignorant of historical economic reality. A government that simply prints (or digitally creates) more money instead of gaining as much as it can of it from reasonable taxes or borrowing will indeed absolutely create an inflationary spiral that can only be stopeed by stopping these activities. Price controls against "profiteering" will do nothing against this except get a large number of people in legal trouble simply for the "crime" of adjusting their prices to reflect wider economic reality (prices for every single one of their won costs and inputs going up for the same inflationary reasons). Black markets would simply explode and any such price controls would simply be ignored under heavy inflation, and especially under the fantastically destructive conditions of hyper inflation. You have no idea what you're talking about with this statement in particular.
Whatever, it's just number points on the interwebbies. There is a libertarian tinge to discourse on HN, and libertarians have an opposite view of the state. I think this perspective on the state -- as "outside" and in permanent opposition to the market -- so permeates the dominant North American ideology that saying otherwise just sounds like nonsense to many people.

I obviously don't think it's nonsense, but it doesn't surprise me it gets downvotes. I think it's sad though.
This is not only delusional but dangerous. The fiction that this only impacts people over 55 is going to kill people.
And my point is that this happens all the time. Natural selection seems to favor the type of company that would just copy&paste from SO (then spend their resources on some fancy viral marketing) instead of the one that would stop to think about it.

> Because business is mostly about sales and marketing and not so much about the product.

That's not been my direct experience.

Actually, very much the opposite for myself and many others I know who are software engineers building their own businesses.

> And unlike as you state, building in general is not necessarily fun

No. I said building in general IS fun. That's my premise ;-)

> If you told me to build a house, I wouldn't necessarily consider that fun, so your initial premise is flawed.

No, that's for you as an individual. Not everyone. Yes, there are many people who find building a house fun. Those statements of mine, they were examples. The point is being missed. Engineers like to build.

There is no flawed premise, only an individual looking for flaws.

> A business in this case also falls into the "not fun" category, again, in general to engineers

Again, that's not been my direct experience nor the experience of other Software Engineers that I know who are building businesses.

Most likely you think it's not fun for you. That doesn't mean it's not fun in general, to engineers. Maybe you've chatted about this, anecdotally, with other Software Engineers, maybe you've read some online threads and it's formed a cognitive bias. That's very typical. I can clearly see it in these very generic statements.

---

There is whole world out there for people who like to build (e.g. software engineers) and they can do it on their own terms, by better understanding what it is about building they like. Not what they "think" they like, but what actually drives them. That's harder to figure out. The biggest hurdle that I've experienced / seen is not the thousand and one reasons for why software engineers would hate building a business, but rather the biggest hurdle is their own cognitive bias towards it (force fed via generic, and widely accepted statements such as "business is mostly about sales and marketing and not so much about the product").

I'm sure you'll snap back with why I'm wrong. Maybe even sprinkle in some snark. Making sure to get the last word in. Please indulge yourself.

It's now time for me to get back to having fun building my business as a software engineer :-)

Like pretty much all the other GUI attempts going on in the world of rust, it is built on top of wgpu which does not have any OpenGL support ("yet"). The older toolkits were built on gfx-rs which had much better support for different gpu toolkits, but was pretty much deprecated and replaced with a different project altogether.
> So much brain power wasted on this useless thing.

I can see the argument that using `const` over `let` doesn’t bring any huge benefits, but I don’t see what the harm is either. I never found it a waste of brainpower. At this point it’s idiomatic, so I think using `let` everywhere is more likely to have people confused.
Much cheaper than trying to put out the fires caused by not using them.

Experience costs more because it pays off.
But they won't because they would lose out to any businesses that didn't. Almost like competition is really ill-suited to solving public disasters (as well as a lot of other things).
Had to check I didn't post this in my sleep.

From memory you didn't even need to force them to borrow money, they always did. As soon as they launched with the $200,000 value buy 75%. They would within minutes borrow a million and then you sell your shares turning $175,000 into $750,000.

The buying ships etc was definitely evil :)

I was using Verizon on a 2 GiB shared plan with my wife. Neither of us use much data, so we always had plenty left over. Switched to Spectrum, which is also on Verizon. It requires Spectrum internet or TV. The bill dropped from about $80 fo the two of us to $28. The new plan is $14 per phone per gig, data is shared. The price includes all taxes. The only extra charges are for international calls or adding another gig.
The article describes this as a lending program, which is misleading. The SBA Paycheck Protection Program straight-up gives free money to cover small business (less than 500 employees) payroll for 2 months. All the business has to do is not fire anyone in the meantime.

"SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities." [1]

I think the issue is that when most people think of a "bad week" they mean sales are down 20% or 30%. But no, in this case, the sales are z.e.r.o. It's hard to wrap our heads around if we haven't felt it first hand.

It's not about the <55 year old employees getting sick. It's about putting an entire rural town at risk of infection from a state with severe infection rates - a town that has no infrastructure to accommodate for critical cases of this virus.

The main benefit of these loans is to prevent people from going on unemployment.

Which is easier:

- process 300,000 SBA loans with bank employees and get 25% - 50% back

- process 30,000,000 unemployment insurance filings with state agency employees and get back nothing
I don't believe the 1.3% is correct, as I think it's closer to 20-25%. Data I have seen supports that they put up $1.3bn of equity in the acquisition, in addition to ~$5Bn of debt (at ~7x leverage I think? -- that's more of the sticker shock). In today's market at least, you need to put up at least around ~30% of the purchase price as equity from the private equity firm.

The Toys R Us deal had a whole bunch of issues, and the business may very well have been over-levered. I do think we should bring back stricter leveraged lending guidelines, in some form.

Those fees, however, don't cover the losses the way that you think (sometimes they cover the amount contributed from the fund itself, not from its investors). I think there were only received $180M in management fees over the nearly 10 year hold paid to the 3 firms involved.

I'm pretty confident that nagadomi intends for waifu2x to be used for anime fanart (they say as much) and for that, it is effectively branded.

Thank you, but I know. I am actually promoting state ownership and democratic control of all important, nationally coordinated industries. I am a marxist. I don’t mean Stalinism, but a level of democratic, worker-controlled socialism never seen before (although people who hate socialism don’t care about the distinction anyway).

I also believe that while many people are allergic to this right now, especially on meritocracy-loving hacker news, over time, this position will become more popular with most people because capitalism is structurally unable to solve its own problems and increasingly people’s recognition of that will overcome their fear of the unknown.

I think this has a lot of intellectual appeal. Capitalism has done a lot of progressive things and nationally coordinated, centralized industry is incredible. People often point that out and they’re right. But the economy and industry we have now is socially operated - through an international division of labor from farmers to programmers - even though it is privately owned and run not to satisfy the needs of workers and people, but to increase profits. This central contradiction between how production is organized - profit for those who own capital - and who runs it and who it should benefit - everyone, as decided democratically - is behind the dysfunction and social crises we’re rapidly plunging into.

Hold onto your seat! Things are going to get crazy, and I recommend reading Marx, he’s a lot more lucid and clear thinking than people who go half way like Bernie. In the meantime I’m not worried about people who dump on me for the horrors of “communism” because they sound more absurd every week.
There's a yawning gap between your "fractional" and "equal" when you consider that the vast majority of the few million ETF and mutual fund shareholders with a few tens of thousands in their retirement accounts (if they're lucky) have an _extremely_ small fraction and really no voting power or control.

I mean, they send me their prospectus. I can listen on the call. That's about it.

And that's not even accounting for the fact that the majority of citizens don't even have retirement funds to get them through.
We settled on TokBox. We were one of their first customers making significant use of server-side recording (virtual estimates for home service providers), and worked closely with the TokBox QA/dev team to resolve bugs until things stabilized in 2016 around the time we hit real product-market fit (focusing on relocation moving estimates).

I've stepped away but AFAIK they're still using it. It was expensive but worked with our business model ($20 for a successfully completed self-service video call between service provider and end customer, $50 to have the virtual survey performed/recorded by our trained video surveyors around the world, $90 to also have priced).

I'd compare TokBox, Twilio Video, and Jitsi.
I think the more substantial critique of this position is that the option to reopen the economy is a fantasy. 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.

We have already seen the outcomes for countries skeptical of the lockdown strategy, they have paid dearly for it, and the worse is yet to come.
