Hello HN, long time lurker here, first time posting. I blog over at https://www.caribbeansignal.com

My blog covers topics that are rarely covered or looked at by MSM in the Caribbean. For example, I've been collecting and compiling murder rates and fuel prices - going back a few years - for one island (and slowly branching out to another). I've also looked at the number of KFC's per capita across the region, and also compared prices for a Zinger sandwhich across the Caribbean in USD Dollars (something similar to the Big Mac Index, helpful for PPP analysis but not conclusive as its just one item).

Recently, I've been looking at COVID-19 in the Caribbean and have a few articles up (doctors per capita, tracking confirmed cases via: https://covid19.caribbeansignal.com)

Be safe!
This resonates with me a lot. Stress can be handled do something which is easy to do but opposite of your current activity for example. Running, Gym or any anything that takes your mind of that isssues.

Lack of Sleep - This is difficult one. Procrastination ruins sleep. Just try to let it go. Do something boring to make you fall asleep.

Lack of clarity - Talk. Talk to someone in your team even junior dev or your manager. What happens is that our mind ends up in loop which doesn't break. Lack clarity signifies that you either don't understand requirement clear enough to make task out of it or you trying to figure way smarter solution than what you need at hand.

This doesn’t work because many SIM swaps are now done with stolen corporate credentials or bribed retail employees. They login to the corporate portal and check the box that says “I verified the customer’s ID” and proceed with the sim swap.

This only protects you from the old way where a scammer tries to convince well intentioned phone support or retail employees.
I've had a lot of success recruiting engineering talent on AngelList for years. It's actually my preferred channel for recruiting. I seem to get higher quality candidates and into interesting discussions faster than other platforms.

Corvus Robotics (YC S18) is hiring a robotics QA/DevOps engineer
Hi! We're building autonomous aerial robots to help industrial clients track inventory. We're looking for a DevOps/release/QA engineer to work closely with our amazing autonomy development team. This person would start PART-TIME, obviously remote, and after the virus ends, ideally join us full-time in Boston.

They would be an integral part of the team in bringing our autonomous vehicle to production, and would be involved in nearly every layer of the stack of an autonomous robot.

Key requirements:

- Attention to detail
- Enjoys automating things; dislikes inefficiencies in life
- Experienced with all of: C/C++, ros, Git, Jenkins/CI, unit tests, AWS, shell scripting / Ubuntu

Ideally, the candidate has also touched a screwdriver before, or a soldering iron (but not the hot side :) )

If you'd like to be considered, please link your Github below, or email the link to qa-devops@corvus-robotics.com. Thank you!

Driving 50 miles ? There's tons of places for groceries in Mountain View...

Here is a list of CSAs and farms near mountain view: https://www.localharvest.org/search.jsp?map=1&lat=37.412895&...

Try the Farmstead app: https://www.farmsteadapp.com/

Some stores are near you on Mercato: https://www.mercato.com/

Check grocery stores near you on Yelp; call them to see if they deliver, I'm sure some do (Safeway definitely used to): https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=groceries&find_loc=mou...

Grocery On Wheels seems to prioritize deliveries to senior citizens, they may also make an exception for the immunocompromised: https://www.groceryonwheels.org/

You should also check the news, google and call any wholesale food distributors nearby you, the ones that deliver to restaurants. Near me they have been delivering boxes full of fresh food to residences for very low prices, something like $35 a box.

Basically, abandon the idea of national chains, look for local places. In rural areas this is nearly impossible; near and in big cities, there are tons of options. And don't forget to look for non-white-owned businesses - but you might have to actually ask someone nearby, as they don't always advertise on Google.
Funny to see those are referred to in English as "Spomeniks". After living in the US for a decade, looking at this definitely brings an incredible feeling of nostalgia.

The data is all manually pulled. I thought about writing a script to retrieve all the state data and recalculate daily, because I've wanted a persistently updated per capita figure, but have been too busy to get to it the last few days.

This site: https://covidtracking.com/data

is doing a good job of updating the state data about once or twice per day. You can get slightly more accurate data by hitting each state site, as the aggregator site lags slightly behind typically. For my own consumption I thought about just once-per-day scraping that site and using its data to update the per capita numbers for each state.

You could do a historical back-fill based on the data from that site (it has histories for the nation and each state, as they've been accumulating it each day) and show a running per capita figure.

On the upside for dealing with the national data, you really only need to update that once per day and it's easy to manually plug it in if you're only going to focus on the large volume case nations (less than two dozen; and China's figures aren't really changing much). Alternatively there are a few sites out there that are tracking national data to varying degrees of accuracy on updating that could be scraped once per day.

The email they posted seems like an automated generated message. It doesn’t refer specifically to the work she has rendered. This leads me to believe that it might have been just to the general members? Are they sending this to the rental/mortgages as well? I wouldn’t except such an email, except if they are going out of business soon... are they going to foreclose? Fitness is notoriously a fickle business.
I'm also a fan of B&H (even more before they charged sales tax outside of NY), but prices "often better than amazon" isn't true. For any brand name purchase of the type you'd get at B&H like a camera or computer, it's gonna be the same price on Amazon or Best Buy or Adorama or any other major online retailer. The prices are dictated by the brand along with rules on what kind of sales are allowed and when, so retailers can't undercut each other.

Amazon can be kind of hit or miss in niche products like camera gear though, so B&H might have better selection. And the listings on a site like B&H are more uniform compared to the wild west of Amazon's 3rd party sellers, so I do like it better for browsing.

Parachutes are a device for saving lives.

We know they work. We have evidence of efficacy. But this evidence does not come from randomized controlled trials.

If it was a pill, the standards for evidence should not change.

Randomized controlled trials make things easier to prove. But they are not the only way to collect evidence of efficacy.

> And your final example of showing up in scientifically illiterate society wielding a miracle drug and declaring that they need no evidence of its efficacy, ignoring the fact that such evidence was all on you prior to arriving there?

No evidence?? That's the exact opposite of what I'm trying to say.

Your objections... okay, would a better thought experiment be an invention of a new antibiotic?

There is no existing proof of anything.

I go to the nearest town and give the pill to every single resident with gonorrhea, 50 of them, and a few days later only 48 of them have the disease any more.

They otherwise took no drugs they hadn't already been taking for months.

I didn't randomize at all, and I didn't set up a control group.

But it's statistically impossible for that to happen by chance.

Also, I and a team of respected researchers searched for confounding factors just as hard as someone performing a randomized controlled trial, and we could not find any.

Did I provide evidence of efficacy? If not, why not?

Sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem. Which came first - the number of AMA slots, or the number of residency openings that matches it?
What does that have to do with what I said in any way? My complaint isn't that non-Amazon retailers charge too much for shipping.
These are the specifics. There isn't enough there there in his theory to have anything more to criticize. That is, it's too vague to even do the zeroth-order tests physicists would use to decide whether to take it seriously.

(You could criticize the little there is on aesthetic or philosophical grounds. I tried to avoid this because that's subjective, but it is true that there is a great deal more arbitrariness in his construction than in alternatives. For example, string theory also has a lot of extra dimensions, but the number of them is fixed by internal consistency. It wasn't just made up.)
> Look at someone like Newsom. One minute he's the mayor of SF, the next he's the governor of 40M people

It's almost impossible to comprehend now that the communist revolution was, at one time, a highly progressive Utopian fantasy materialized. That for a short time it inspired works of art like this and was a source of optimism for millions of people before descending into the darkness of the cold war. It gives serious pause to the alluring ideal of socialism in this country. Everyone always thinks that their time will be different and that they have it all figured out. But the insidious side of human nature that always thwarts such ideals and reduces to authoritarianism is a constantly insurmountable baseline of what we are.
For me, that's not how I expected it to work and don't agree.

To move a long distance, I spam the direction until I hit the wall without care of 'wasted moves'.

Here's my question: Isn't the 1/r^2 just a consequence of Gauss' theorem or are you trying to look at possible extra dimensional effects here?
OK, I thought something like that. But doing that for rent forgiveness seems iffy, in that it'd be the landlord's choice, and not something that the tenant does.
It doesn't seem like it's really about entitlement - what other option do they have? They aren't going to get a voluntary extension from copywriter #23 who needs money for her own bills, the bankruptcy courts are closed, and no bank's going to give them an unrestricted line of credit if they don't know when gyms can reopen. This is far beyond "struggling"; the government's made their business illegal for the indefinite future.

It doesn't have to block you from seeing the product. Some e-commerce sites let you enter a zip code on any page to get estimated shipping prices, but don't require you to. Some let you enter a zip code as soon as you've added something to your cart. Some don't do estimated shipping prices at all and don't give you any idea how much shipping will be until you're at that step of the checkout flow.
Keep in mind that Yugoslavia was a completely different thing during the cold war. It was a communist country that was not part of the Comintern, or the Warsaw pact. It, in fact, had open borders with the west.

This caused it to be in a much better place economically than the rest of the communist world.

Not only that, but there's evidence that the denser a city is (the more members it adds), the higher its productivity per capita [0]. I imagine something similar could apply to some orgs. It's why mergers happen, isn't it?

Or imagine two startups, both too small to really invest in tooling. If you combine them, maybe that changes. People can specialize more. The return on building tool X scales with the number of users, so once you have enough people, you can start to make things easier for everyone.

We are missing the trees for the forest here. I think that Codeberg is not communicating their core values the best way and my understanding is: to be an open source, ethical, safe home for open source projects under Non-Profit Collaboration Community. If your repo were ever (even temporarily) disabled by a false or intentionally bullying DMCA take down request, you would know right away why every single word in the above sentence is important. And, hosted in Europe, under EU laws.

Suggestions on how to make the messaging of Codebeberg clearer would be appreciated, Codeberg has an issue about this in their tracker: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/75

yeah, I needed a way to classify the levels by the difficulty. I should have done a double sort, one for the number of goals (boxes) and then the number of minimum moves necessary to finish the level.
>> State Farm actually had spent the last few years running at an underwriting loss

This is common amongst mutual and non-mutual companies. The spreads are pretty thin and a few ticks of variance in one direction can drive down profits massively. It's not a great business to be in.
But you can't just say, "the government made it so we are struggling so we've decided to stop paying our bills."

You actually can do this, and Equinox did. The remedy is for their creditors to sue them when the courts reopen.
Stopping virus outbreaks in a global economy is a loser's mindset, it fails the moment something gets through the safety net and quickly becomes a matter of 'when' not 'if'. A better plan would be to already have medical stockpiles in place coupled with strategies for rapidly identifying and overproducing vital technologies to aid the sick (ventilators here) and for protecting personnel who have to interact with them (masks, sanitary substances, etc).

Headlines about slowing the spread are only important because the nations of the world are facing supply shortages, there is no outright stopping the spread at this point and there was never going to be so long as a vaccine is absent.
It's weird that the next sentence after your quote says you can't do superlinear.

That's an interesting idea. I need to try this too!
I have no problems. I'd check your GPU drivers.
Great question. Let me copy/paste explanation of one of the founders:

Collaboration platforms like SourceForge, GitHub, and GitLab enabled and facilitated the development and organization of free software projects.
But as developers of free software we fell into a trap – we poured invaluable source code, documentation and last not least a huge and steady stream of data about our personalities, interests and social networks into proprietary platforms.
These platforms are no charities, they operate to fulfill the commercial objectives of their founders and owners, outside of our control. They are valued and sold for billions of dollars.
Codeberg is trying to fix that. The nonprofit Codeberg e.V. has been founded as independent non-government organization to launch and build a free home for Free and Open Source Software.

Also see this short SFSCon talk:

https://www.sfscon.it/talks/codeberg-a-free-home-for-free-pr...
That thread lays out the implications if the paper is correct. It does not address the correctness concerns laid out my the parent post.
Target is getting into the 3rd party seller game through Target+. It appears they have a pretty tight process for what gets approved to sell and who gets to sell it. Target by culture is extremely intentional about what they allow on their shelves, and it appears they are following suit with their 'curated' 3rd party sellers.
No, the reality has long been exactly what Equinox is doing (or just not paying and saying nothing), if people don't like it, they can sue you knowing that the likely result is bankruptcy and them taking their chances with bankruptcy court.

> But you can't just say, "the government made it so we are struggling so we've decided to stop paying our bills."

Yes, you manifestly can. If people don't like it, they have remedies, but as it turns out, those remefies mostly suck if the rat get is actually insolvent, especially if you are pretty far down the priority list of creditors. And they suck even moreso when the courts aren't open.
The world will essentially be on lockdown until there is a vaccine. Not because its so deadly, its really not, but because its SO contagious, especially per-symptomatic. It only takes one or two people to cause another massive flare up, thats why it will be more than a year. Even if a vaccine is found tomorrow, we still need BILLIONS of doses, and thats after approval. This is going to be a long economic disaster. We havent even gotten to significant layoffs yet I feel, the next two months will get real bad across all industry.
Writing VMs is a great way to understand how a real CPU might work–not functionally, of course, but with a fairly good idea of some of the important parts. I had my students implement one (in C) for a class of mine, which made teaching a lot of higher-level topics much easier because they had implemented the levels underneath and understood better what was going on.

> (Assuming your agreement states that the company will front the fees).

The agreement specifies the arbitrator you use. In this case, the fees are set by the arbitration company, not by any contract between the parties to the dispute. It's not a matter of "who picks up the fees"; there's one fee for the company and a different, much smaller fee for the complainant.

(Of course you could have a contract specify that one or the other party was responsible for the other's arbitration costs, but that's not happening here and seems unlikely in other areas.)
This post reeks of mathiness and pseudoscience and analogies taken too literally. Sure there are some interesting ideas, but without evidence, there's not much to it. You want to say that communication costs grow quadratically? You could "show" it with an argument about dyads, but that's not the kind of thing to believe without data. Or that productivity per person is at best constant as an org grows. Or most assertions in this post.
It depends. It is not worse than not finishing if one learns from the experience. Secondly, personal projects do scratch some itch and bring a certain satisfaction and if if others appreciate it then that's a bonus.
