> ...someone on TV (probably DeBlasio or Cuomo) saying that public schools were not going to close.

This was specifically because many of those students would go hungry since they rely on food programs at school. Without those programs, many students have little to eat at home. It's a little disingenuous to represent it in another light. If anything, it highlights yet another weakness in our society.
As any reasonable, educated consumer would be.

I would like to know if a McMaster-Carr, Grainger, et al had fallen into the same traps Amazon has when it comes to supply chain and if eventually Amazon will be shaped into a similar company & business model.

My understanding is what you said is true for influenza and to a lesser extent colds. Those virus tend infect the upper respiratory system. COVID19 though can infect the lower lungs and directly causes pneumonia. And viral pneumonia is no joke even before COVID19.
Here are several reasons why we should never do that.

The first reason is that those IDs would then become massive theft targets. Because they're uniform, it provides economies of scale for criminals to figure out how to extract the private key from the ID, then pickpocket IDs and extract the private keys from them (or worse, figure out how to do it from across the room when it's in your pocket) and then we're back to square one.

Associating public keys with names, which is in general completely unnecessary (the key itself is the identity), also becomes a separate centralized single point of failure. Anyone who compromised that system could associate their own public keys with your name, and the more centralized the system is the more powerful the likely attacks against it would be because compromising it then has a higher payout.

A large centralized system like that is also inherently slow to change, which would result in a catastrophic failure if a vulnerability was ever discovered in the cryptosystem it uses or its implementation, because not only would every system relying on that system become simultaneously vulnerable, they would all have to be updated, which for a large bureaucratic system could take months or years. In the meantime you're forced to choose between continuing to operate the vulnerable system and being subject to an unlimited amount fraud, or shutting it down and having systems across the country offline for a lengthy period of time while everyone reimplements their interfaces with it.

A universal public key is also itself a huge privacy vulnerability. We already have this problem with social security numbers, which were never intended to be used outside of social security but have already entered use as a means to correlate surveillance data about a person. But social security numbers at least are considered sensitive data because they're used as shared secrets. A public key authenticates by use of the associated private key, so knowing the public key doesn't impair its security properties which would almost certainly lead to relaxed security requirements for their disclosure, and thereby further enable problematic public and private mass surveillance by using the public key as a universal database index.

The far better solution is to use public key cryptography, but have a separate keypair for each relationship. So you have a bank card and it has your private key associated with your bank account, which allows you to authenticate to your bank. Your employee ID allows you to authenticate to your employer. But then nobody can steal money from your bank account with your employee ID or break into your office with your bank card. And a general compromise of the security used by the DMV doesn't allow criminals to break into power plants and airports and banks and police stations, because they're not all using the same system. This vastly reduces the scope of compromise.

> and some of the pages that disable the back button in various nefarious ways.

When a site is acting up like that I just click and hold, and this brings up an extended list of previous pages. I kinda assume everyone knew about that feature; it seems to work in all major browsers.
So many commenters here providing alternatives seem to miss the key differentiating feature: recently checked out vs. recently committed to. For me the former is immensely more useful as I may have gone to a branch to do something other than commit, and those are missed with the latter.

Anyway, I’ve had my own (far more involved) version of listing recently checked-out branches for years. It will also filter out the current branch and deleted branches, and has a rudimentary interactive selection.

Maybe someone will find it useful as I have.

Laying people off isn't necessarily a sign of distress. It may also be aptly observing the marketplace (e.g. the article suggests the layoffs were mostly in recruiting roles), and taking preemptive action. There are many of us who think this recession is going to last a hell of a lot longer than a single quarter, and if we're going to make cuts, earlier the better.

"Management teams that cut expenses first are advantaged as it is an area under the curve problem. The earlier the cuts, the less deep they have to be and the better positioned the company is for the recovery. Bad management teams cut late and deep, which leads to them really suffering in the upturn." [1]

I hear PS4 outsold Xbox One by a mile but it's strange because I only know people who either have the Xbox One or both. I don't know anyone who has just a PS4.

I know it's a small sample size, and not representative it's just a interesting.

I personally have both, and I prefer the Xbox One. We actually have two so I can game with my wife. The UI feels less like a toy, setting up groups and games is still much easier with Xbox Live than anything PlayStation has ever offered.

Do we know of any case of severe covid-19 that was taking immunosuppresors (post-transplant, so cyclosporine or tacrolimus?). Haven't heard of one and the doctors my wife talks to (who follow hundreds of those) haven't heard of one. Yet.
The "AI" that Google's search engine seems to have is definitely feeling more "human" over time, but not in a good way --- it's like a stupid salesperson who has trouble understanding what you're trying to find. An analogy I have is that you go into a pet shop and ask for a black cat, and instead the salesperson shows you black dogs, white cats, and green gerbils (because they're absolutely cool these days and you wouldn't want to miss out on a great deal, no?)
A lot of the challenges come out of the specifics of the laws surrounding unions. They were written in a much rougher era, where corporations and unions were very much in direct opposition. If we could re-write those laws, we could open the door to much more cooperative relationships between unions that the current laws do not allow. Unfortunately, there's no sign of the republican and democratic parties getting together to make a grand bargain on the laws, so we're stuck with them as they are today.

> And if people don't like the results of arbitration, there's still the option of claiming impartial arbitration and filing a lawsuit anyway.

This is not accurate. Almost every mandatory binding arbitration clause of substance includes wording that the arbitrator's decision is final and cannot be appealed. Also, the question of whether the arbitrator's ruling was fair and impartial--did you mean claiming "partial," or biased, arbitration?--is, much like the question of jurisdiction or ability to arbitrate, left to the arbitrator to decide under those same terms.

I wonder if some real competition in search would help things. It might be harder to create SEO that “fools” a handful of different search engines than just creating quality content. I’m not sure how we’ve come to accept a near total monopoly on search so willingly.

Probably - I think raising a family will probably be a catalyst.

Pros: pretty, relatively relaxed lifestyle, much lower pressure than the US, minimal gun violence, healthier attitudes towards childrearing, good public healthcare, relatively good education systems, (mostly) competent government.

Cons: low wage economy, distant from everywhere, overall ambition of people is low, high taxes (top tax rate isn't crazy high, but kicks in very early)

Note, when I talk about 'the US' I'm talking about SF / LA / NYC type cities. I don't have any intention of living in small town USA.

Yes, but is there a downside as well?
1. The Democrat powers-that-be like arbitration as much as Republican p-t-b, so it is not a net gain to feature it prominently.

2. For the most part, the direct gains to consumers are small. Even if you get Door Dash to pay out two-thirds of its $9 mil., it's less than a thousand bucks per person. Pay a $250 filing fee, figure 1/3 fee for the lawyers, and you get $500 in an ideal case. That's nice for clients, but not life-changing. Indirectly, of course, there are large benefits.

3. Compared to one client's recovery, it looks like a windfall to lawyers. And most Americans would rather shoot themselves in the foot (metaphorically, at least) than help lawyers get rich.

(In fact, it's probably not all that profitable for the lawyers. It looks like low-margin work that only pays off for the firm if each lawyer tries to manage an ungodly number of cases.)
Polaris and Vega were ROP-limited, and performed worse than nvidia cards with similar tflop measurements.

The Xbox has a higher tflops rating because of more compute units, but it has the same number of raster units. Because the PS5 clocks higher, its ROP throughput will be greater. In a rendering workload like games this will make a difference. Whether or not this offsets the fewer compute units remains to be seen, but I’d wager the consoles are going to come out pretty much on par. There’s not going to be a big discrepancy like PS4 and Xbone.
Some landlords say only 25% of retail tenants paid April rent
So glad he ruled against them. Door Dash forced its dashers to use a specific arbitration organization, and then when they actually did, refused to pay their fees and tried to take their case to a different arbitration organization that was more favorable to them. What a load of total bullshit.

Goes to show the only "efficiencies" brought about by arbitration are discouraging people from bringing claims in the first place.

> Is there a way for social media to stay fun and profitable?

I think Twitter gets pretty close. Sure they have ads (which are unobtrusive for the most part), a bot problem, a bullying problem, an anachronism problem - but that doesn't change the fact that an average user always finds some fun and interesting content on their feed if they're following a curated list of people.

I'm impressed they've been able to keep the experience light on "features" and have kept their core user experience consistent since their perception.
The whole point is that the signals can't all flow left to right in any reasonably nontrivial design, because the latter will almost always have feedback, and at its fundamental level that is how static memory works.

Even if you draw both gates facing the same way, there is feedback and you still need to follow the signals the other way; but instead of simply turning one the gate in the direction its output is actually going, and showing that structure more clearly, you introduce the extra ugliness and confusion of crossing signals.
Insurance companies are coming out of the pandemic relatively unscathed, because the pandemic isn't a typically covered event for business interruption?
>> honest change takes unrelenting and sheer force of management will

Having also experienced this firsthand, I've come to learn that:

- there are people in the world who have difficulty changing, despite best of intentions

- there are people who are narcissistic, psychopathic, or toxic in other ways

- there are people who are lazy and are just clawing and scratching to keep their paycheque because it's basically free money due to not adding commensurate value back to the organization

- there are people who are in over their heads and find it difficult to improve, no matter how much money you may provide for training budgets, you're basically paying their salary to be full-time students at that point, not employees, and they still fail to graduate from school

Take all of the above, let it rot in a stale culture for a decade, you can easily see why an organization might get into some difficulty. Change is hard and unfortunately sometimes involves layoffs if the organization is to thrive (note I said organization, not company, affects organizations of all types).

Change is hard because people are hard. People are hard because... many reasons. Not everyone can be a driven Steve Jobs to achieve success, damn the torpedoes and other people's feelings, especially if they're just the average joe.

The easy answer is to fire these people. I don't like it, but I don't have a better answer. It sucks. I went through it before, refused to fire anyone for years, believed in people's ability to change. The scar tissue has caused me to completely change my mindset moving forward. If you can't change, you need to be on a performance improvement plan, if you can't achieve it, you're out the door, but hopefully we work at an organization willing to give you some nice severance so that you don't immediately end up on the street.
Having 1st hand experience with Hollywood unions, (and being 1 background extra gig away from SAG eligiblity) I can say that none of the rules are outdated, and they definitely don't making filming a nightmare.

Yes, if you're making a union film you need to hire union members for positions covered by the union agreement. But unless your studio has signed an agreement with the unions, you're not subject to union rules. Generally, only the big studios and the bigger indies are subject to the Hollywood union rules.

If you don't abide by union rules then you're not eligible for certain awards or screenings.

This doesn't apply to the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or other major awards. Many of the films nominated for these awards every year don't abide by union rules because their weren't subject to them.
Maybe they're getting ready to acquire some less well-funded competitors who are in financial trouble at bargain rates.

> would you say that the military gets things done better than your average tech company?

No, because a tech company is all about avoiding work. Tech companies do as little as possible to reach the benchmark and no more.

The military is about "Getting unit X of work done. Period." Whether that work is stupid or irrelevant is not up for debate once it's assigned. The work must get done; it will get done; there is a minimum standard; the cost is now irrelevant."
Historically it wasn't uncommon to switch, but there was also not much continuity between generations. You would keep your account and friends list, but would be restarting your library from scratch on a new console.

Both Microsoft and Sony are pushing for backwards compatibility which will give users a strong incentive not to switch since they can maintain a large part of their library.
I think you're misreading this - it's an opinion piece and it includes some speculation about how the virus ended up infecting people. It does not say the virus 'originated' in a lab and it's not 'WaPo admitting' anything.
Instead of the union being a de facto endorsement of a particular worker, it acts to protect its own power over the workers. Instead of the company having a choice about who to hire for a particular role, it is forced into one choice. Instead of workers joining a union for their own benefit, they are forced to join because of legal coercion. The union is highly motivated to control and limit its members--freedom for the members means destruction of the union.

All of the statements in that paragraph are false.
More importantly, pandemics are correlated risks, so the insurance company is not reducing any risk by insuring against it.

If they did, everyone's insurance rates would go way up after a pandemic in about the same amount as they would have to pay for the pandemic.

I've done similar for almost the exact opposite reasons ironically.

As a native speaker, I found the essay to be long-winded and over-complicated. It uses twice as many words as it needs to convey the same point.
You are not really learning how to make proofs though, you are learning how to make specifications. There is an important difference. It is one thing to "prove by induction that this loop will end" and another completely to write a specification for the compiler to find a proof for you. It comes down to the fundamental concept of computability. You won't learn true proving if you don't at least attempt to work through e.g. Cantor or Epsilon-Deltas.
I noticed something similar. My theory is that the set of people who are unwilling to heed stay-at-home orders has a significant overlap with the set of people who are inattentive or reckless drivers. As a result, there is a disproportionate number of bad drivers still on the roads.

I tried to make them two different links, one to Blasio and the Other to Breed. Didn't work.

I feel some of the difference might be due to California's experience with fires and earthquakes. The politicians have a habit of listening and acting on what public safety officials tell them. And the public tends understand. For instance last year they started shutting off the power during high wind events. They aren't happy with PGE but no ones been calling for the politicians heads over it.

In the real world most people's definitions are based on arbitrarily limited frames of reference. I meet lots of Californians who identify as anti-war and who have little if any awareness of how the US military is wielded outside of the Middle East.
Email could work like this. Threading emails in a chronological list is just a trend in clients.

We simplified a monolith by having discrete services within it. Each a self-contained vertical unit of functionality, but in a shared namespace with perfect type visibility & enforcement across every service. So, we can dispense with all of the fanfare and just do direct method invocation across 1 DI scope in a single fat binary. It works perfectly. No contract issues to negotiate and developers can work in parallel with zero fear of breaking shared components, as long as intended interface changes are discussed up-front.

From a high-level perspective, is there really any difference between DMI and HTTP/gRPC/et.al. if you could hypothetically run all of your services on a single logical node? If your entire production stack runs on your macbook, why cant you just wire it all up as a single binary and throw it on a nice powerful server? I guarantee it will run better without all that ridiculous network glue in the middle.

If I am being modest, I would say that we feel really, really stupid from where we are sitting right now. Primarily for having previously spread this implementation across 10+ services talking HTTP for absolutely no good reason. I am growing into a mindset where the entire business system needs to fit into 1 binary image. Perhaps duplicated across more than 1 physical host with differing features enabled per, but at least sourced from the same solution/repository.
