I'm considering just selling software to employers to manage loans OR get repayment from their salary like the link. Financial education would be just something extra.

I'm still playing with the idea. The inspiration comes from the fact that a few friends work for companies that use pen and paper to manage employee loans.

Indeed, less rigidity and higher tolerances lead to reliability - similar to what we do in construction of buildings: a skyscraper would fall one day if it wasn't for its flexibility under effects of elements such as wind.
Ask HN: How much are sales people making at B2B SaaS companies?
1. A healthy 30 something has an IFR of something like 0.1%. Doesn't justify a lockdown for a year; does for a couple months.

3. Sweden has experienced over 500 covid deaths in a week. That's a 30% excess death rate. Hardly "fine".

4. I see little evidence it is in line with the flu, unless you are talking about historically deadly flus, not seasonal ones. Flu would not have killed 1.5% of the Diamond Princess population that was infected. 0.7% IFR seems about right (Diamond Princess, Iceland, etc. suggest around this) and that's >7x bad seasonal flu years.
Ok so sell USD to buy what?

To me, this is the best way to go. I've seen the hats with the UV LEDS embedded in the brim, but why not around the collar of a shirt?. The only side effect I see is UV light directly in the face.

This. Additionally though, we are in a very low interest rate environment. One way to look at this is that there is intense demand for corporate debt relative to equity. Issuing bonds and then doing a buyback or a dividend is really just changing how the company is financed, debt vs. equity.

However, equity prices have also been quite high, so this points to the fact that in general, people want money later rather than money now, and the high asset prices/low rates of return are saying that the market does not know how to provide a good rate of return. The only way you get a high real rate of return in the economy is to innovate.

> Take away Roddenberry's vision of a better future and you've got Babylon 5, eh?

I'd wish! I find B5 to be great in a different way than Star Trek. It has one of the deepest and most interesting stories I've ever seen explored in sci-fi on the screen. I wish there was another show like this. Alas, it seems that if you take away a vision for a better future, the shows you get today are cookie-cutter action flicks. They're sometimes fun to watch, but I don't feel enriched in a way I felt after Star Trek or B5.

> (You like the Klingons? To me they seemed derivative of (LotR) Orcs but I haven't spent time to really know.)

Not initially, and not from the looks - though the series did manage to (spoiler alert) turn them into what you'd expect to see in TNG in the latter seasons.

What I liked about the Klingons in DIS is that they didn't feel like space brutes who value violence and hate the Federation for no reasons. In DIS, they had a good reason, that resonates with people today - cultural imperialism. They went to war with the Federation because they felt it's the only way to protect their cultural identity, as they perceived UFP to be a civilization that conquers in times of peace, through slowly infusing everyone with their views and values. The DIS Klingons have seen that as a threat to the survival of their species' identity. And put that way, it's a very believable as a justification for conflict.

> And don't get me started on the blurring of the "sci-fi" genre. (...)

In complete agreement (though I liked Iron Man 1; it was more serious than other MCU movies, and also scratched my tech porn itch). My additional complaint is the pressure put on inter-character drama and general "character development". As I often repeat, if I wanted to watch the deep emotional struggles of people and their relationships, I'd pick literally any other literal/movie genre. Sci-fi (and to some extent fantasy) is unique, because it can get away with extensive world building and exploring ideas that are hard to explore otherwise. It serves as a real-life holodeck simulation. And I'd prefer my sci-fi to focus on that.

> COVID-19 isn't the fault of an airline or hotel company

Airlines spent a decade doing stock buybacks, some with past bailout money. The amount they spent on buybacks is just about exactly how much they want from the US bailout.

SXSW didn't buy pandemic insurance. They'll be asking for a bailout.

These companies need to go through bankruptcy and loss of equity so that they can behave as properly functioning entities in a capitalist system. Anything else is -again- socialism for the rich.

Yes, corporations are rich people. Undisputably so. We should not bail them out. Let them go into receivership. If they aren't liquid, let the US re-capitalize them in return for equity, and then sell the shares over 5-10 years to return it to the public market.

Make capitalism work and get rid of the enormously unjust moral hazard that is a lot of why capitalism is so broken right now.

I'm probably wrong about this and I'll probably get told so and downvoted to hell, but to throw my $.02 in to the mix

I think the fundamental issue is that the stock market doesn't reflect reality at all anymore. Which isn't a novel point, a bunch of other commenters are saying the same thing. I think the only thing I have to add is that a small army of forex bots, automated buybacks, and zombie index funds has made it so that the stock market is programmed to never not boom. A market that reflects reality would be governed by supply and demand, not by seeing a ticker go up or a graph go up and to the right. But that's what investors want, so that's what all these mechanical interventions are optimized to do.

So why is the stock market booming? Because that's what it was programmed to do.

(Yes, yes, cite my sources, but it's a Friday and I'm lazy)
Yes, implicit currying where supplying the final arg actually calls the underlying function is one kind of partial function application. Ramda is one thing I use.

I also use an in-house library to explicitly apply arguments to return a a new function, which allows you to produce 0 arity or variadic functions.

I’m glad somebody has a work around for using Ramda in TS, but it looks every bit as “fun” as generics in Java, which I think have wasted more of my time than they have ever saved.

> A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the bass pitch of the tone moving upward or downward, it is referred to as the Shepard scale. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower.[1]

Outstanding work. I've been really impressed with the quality of recent colorization, perspective, and texture reconstruction tools and think they do a wonderful job of bringing historical or degraded images 'back to life.' I wonder if we are headed for a future where many of these tools reside client-side and image/video transmission and storage can be reduced to a lightweight stream of vector data.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..

Through the 14th amendment, this also applies to the states.

On the other hand, it is not a suicide pact.

And yet, on the other hand, it seems unlikely that a state will be able to defend a blanket prohibition against all religious gatherings of any kind. What if, for example, a church were to assemble and maintain social distancing?

And yet, on the other other hand, it seems like a really bad idea for a church to make a point of exercising their rights at this time.

I don't get the hate for 100 Watts on FT8 either. Use the power you need to make the contact. Keep an eye on the waterfall to make sure you aren't doubling.

Of course that's for QSOs usually well over 3k miles.

What specifically about this post is "tedious ideological boilerplate"? That's an extremely insulting way to characterize the work I've done to substantiate my argument. Moreover, I am very curious about what people disagree with in my post. I ask people in my OP to post specific reasons why they disagree with me. That's the definition of curious conversation

And bringing up Nietzsche is extremely relevant since the abstract of the OP specifically cites his reasoning as the source of post-modernism. I'm claiming that had he lived long enough to see what post-modernism was, he would have tried to disavow his work from it. Apparently that's "tedious ideological boilerplate" to you.

At what point am I claiming something which is untrue? If making a connection between the left and french post-modernism is something that you label as "tedious ideological boilerplate" than you're simply mistaken.

At worst, my final addendum about HN flaggers may not be within your guidelines. Outside of that, this post is high quality and something that HN users should aspire to. Compare the work I did to nearly all the other posts in this thread. They are on average far more quippy, far less substantiated, and more ideological than my own.

Your complaint about this post implies that this platform is bankrupt and defunct for talking about anything except a subset of computer related topics.
I love that Lyn's articles are getting top billing on HN. She's got very good analysis of the macroeconomic situation. In times like this, very important to educate yourself on these topics.
Sure, relational is more flexible. We're talking about tradeoffs which you need to understand to make the right choice for your app/system/service.

Go-to-Market Strategies in the Face of the Global Pandemic
I was trying to stay in context with how you originally phrased your response of..

"There is no reason to believe BTC will not crash that's more solid than people smiling knowingly and saying "it can't, it's the future". It's not, though."

This quote implies that BTC lacks long term value, which again I argue that BTC does have long term value for reasons previously stated. Certainly, I understand that sharp declines in value are often described as crashes.

In regards to the term "traditional economy", I actually meant to insert the words "integrated with", so the start of the sentence should have read "This is what I mean by integrated with the traditional economy..."; just an error on my part. The point I'm making is that the integration with the traditional economy is occurring on the backend finance side and adds legitimate value and use to Bitcoin over many other cryptocurrencies.
This app appears to use peer to peer Bluetooth between phones, not beacons. The intention is to determine relative proximity between users, not absolute position.
You can troll by falsely claiming to be infected. With strategically placed beacons you could scare a lot of people. If the system is as private as they claim it will be hard to filter out serial trolls.

I suspect they will try to join whatever data is present in your "I'm infected" report (at least IP, idk if there will be other stuff. advertiser id?) with their other databases, using trolls as a justification.

Obviously this is going to turn into one of those back-and-forth wars of more effective adversarial clothing designs versus improved detection algorithms. What I really wonder is, which one comes out on top in the end, or at least most of the time? Will designs and/or fashions get weird and effective enough that it just isn't practical to recognize people in general in public with computerized algorithms? Or will the algorithms win, with these being 95% ineffective and also resulting in drastically more attention from ordinary people and any human authorities who happen to be watching?
It's strange nobody mentioned NX (NoMachine). When I tried it ~10 years ago, it was much faster than VNC, nearly identical to RDP. Why isn't it more popular?

Though it's surely very expensive to operate these things, it's also probably cheaper than if the USAF had to do it.

I personally loved the reimagined BSG in its own way (different from my feelings for Star Trek or B5). I only wish they'd explored the hybrid utterings angle further, there was a lot of space for some out-there (and possibly Lovecraftian) ideas.

Well, in the US for seasonal flu the deaths estimation [1] for this season are 24k-60k deaths, for covid19 is 60k-240k, where 60k is applying lockdown, not "everybody work normally". And obviously they are on top of the typical deaths.

Instead of changing the content of a variable, you can just declare a new one. By avoiding assignment, you can guarantee that your variables won't change. You can guarantee that the current value of x is the one it has been initialised with: init().

Hard to see the upside there. By adding another variable (y in the example), you've added another degree of freedom to your program state, arguably for no good reason. Now there's something else to go wrong that wasn't there before.

Many contributors aren't. And even if they are, there is a clear open license they rely on, and Qt company is in the unique position to be allowed to sell exceptions to that. Companies actually contributing to open-source they use is a good thing.

Qt Company is also a 300+ employee company with 8-digit revenue. They are not some small shop trying to survive, they are a corporation that over-promised growth to their shareholders and now is trying to squeeze rules that have existed for 20 years to turn some part of the open-source ecosystem into paying customers, threatening to risk the entire open ecosystem around it for this, which includes many small shops and individuals.
> A healthy 30 something has an IFR of something like 0.1%. Doesn't justify a lockdown for a year; does for a couple months.

It's not 0.1% for a 30-something. The Gangelt survey showed a total population fatality rate of 0.37%, and so far the CFR has ranged from 0% in children to 0.1% for 30-somethings to 15% for 85 year olds.

The Gangelt survey showed 0.37% actual vs. a CFR of 2% overall in Germany so we can divide the CFR for each age group likely by 10. It's probably close to 0.01% for a healthy 30-something.

> Sweden has experienced over 500 covid deaths in a week. That's a 30% excess death rate. Hardly "fine".

It ... is fine, when you take into account that they're never going to get it again, whereas every other country in the world is vulnerable to a single person showing up and re-starting the entire process for everyone. It's not this lockdown I'm worried about it's the next one, when a single person shows up in downtown NYC and we're right back at it again.

Hiding inside is not solving the problem because it's an incredibly infectious disease. Unless you can lock down every single person in the entire world for the entire duration, it will fail.

The Gangelt survey showed 0.37% vs the flu at 0.1%. It's worse, I've long maintained it's worse, but it's not massively worse. Certainly not stop-the-world worse. [1]

That's not an apt analogy. A system with tight tolerances can still be flexible, we just know more precisely how it can flex and when it will break.

A better analogy would be if your construction workers didn't have standard or prescribed bolts in their design, so they just take what's lying around and hammer and weld bits together until it seemed sturdy enough. Suffice it to say, this is not a recipe that would work to build today's sky scrapers. There is considerable design and sanity checking that goes into this stuff which the web at every point completely lacked.

I am not a vegetarian but I grew up with two sisters who were, meaning i was served fake meat a lot.

I agree it can be quite good! Spicy fake Italian sausages were a favorite I remember. That being said, to the earlier point they're best when they're not trying to exactly replicate meat flavor but just taste good. Spicy italian sausage was good because it didn't try to taste too much like sausage and was just spicy and italian haha.
