Since I am among the lucky few who get to wfh during this crisis, this question isn't for me. I do have some friends who would gladly surrender that information tomorrow if that means they could 'get on with their lives'. Be that work, or social life. Their main reasoning is that they give up their data anyways, so whats another few gb's of it?

I would probably upgrade just for the battery. iOS 13 is very smooth on my SE but the battery is just nuked without battery saver on all the time.
Your exercises were worthless because they were based on the assumption epidemiology is usefully correct, and it's clearly not.

I mean, I wonder how you reach the conclusions you do? Just read your own post back to yourself. You say the numbers in SARS-COV-2 are worse than for your simulation yet the outcomes observed in reality are empty hospitals that need to furlough workers because they are so underworked. Reality has disproven the simulations, but it sounds a lot like you're concluding reality is wrong?
It's a tough trade-off. In my opinion, I think 85%+ of people will likely agree to opt-in. It's not perfect, but it'd be far better than anything we have right now.

Trying to make it mandatory, and trying to enforce the confinement of dissenters, as you refer to, might actually lead to less total adoption in the US. People will protest and boycott, there'll be endless conspiracy theories (there already are, but way more people will believe these than 5G hoaxes; and worse, the theories may not even be implausible), and I think it'd just stir up a lot of trouble. A large percentage of Americans just don't like mandatory enforcement of measures that reduce freedom or privacy.

I think Google and Apple can present this in a way that will result in most people agreeing to it.

While you think it's unacceptable the rest of the world has moved on a long time ago.
Some people don't seem to realize there is a limit to how much of added value a low skilled person can bring to the market. Plenty of people are essentially unable to contribute anything more complicated than their muscle power, others can contribute vision and recognition (professional drivers) - and this goes on and on in a continuum. There already is a class of people - low skilled, low IQ, poor mental health - that are essentially unemployable unless you need to dig trenches by hand. And the bar will keep rising and rising.
Given how quickly forecasts were cut from 200,000 to 60,000 it is likely those estimates of millions of deaths were never correct. However, for the sake of argument lets assume that it was accurate and 2 million would have died. We can estimate the value of those lives saved using the value of statistical life that the EPA has for evaluating the effect of regulations[1]. Adjusting for inflation gives a value of $9.5 million today. Saving 2 million lives at 9.5 million per life gives a value of $19 trillion. The 2008 Great Recession cost Americans $22 trillion[2]. Many expect the recession now to be worse than the 2008 financial crisis[3][4].

Launch HN: Zynq (YC W20) – Book meetings instantly with your team
Zerzar & David here from Zynq - we built a calendar extension for Google Calendar to help you easily book meetings with your colleagues, even if they are spread across timezones. You can check it out here: https://zynq.io/remote

Both of us worked on G Suite and quit last year because we felt enterprise calendars really needed an upgrade and they weren’t a strategic priority for Google/Microsoft. As a product manager, I spent a bunch of time organizing meetings and moving them around which was probably the least valuable thing I could have been doing. David, as an engineer, would frequently get interrupted by meetings people would schedule in the middle of his day when he was trying to get work done.

We built Zynq to make scheduling intuitive: just tell us who you want to meet & how long you want your meeting to be and we’ll find the best time that works for everyone. Our algorithm looks for open slots during work hours where everyone is free in their timezone & not out for lunch. We rank these slots via a scoring algorithm which prioritizes focus time for everyone invited & picks the top slot. We then create the meeting and automatically add a Zoom/Hangouts link so you never need to set that up manually again.

We are launching this for free given the current WFH situation to help teams move faster, but we also have a separate paid product that optimizes for meeting room utilization and that’s how we make money. We don’t plan to charge for this version, but may release paid features on top in the future geared toward larger enterprises. Our goal is to build a complete end-to-end meeting solution for smart offices including meeting room tablet software, guest check-in experience, and an analytics back-end which helps plan future office space.

Our long term vision is to automate away the many boring tasks you do at work so you can focus on the creative aspects of your job. We hope this is a step in that direction - please let us know your honest feedback and how we can improve!
You can assign the user a temporary password so that they get prompted to enroll their credential on first login. But:

a) Because the password is assigned first, it has higher priority, so subsequent logins will prompt for password first until the admin manually changes the user's credential ordering to put the WebAuthn (passwordless) token higher. The user's credential priority overrides the order of challenges in the login flow.

b) There is no option to add or replace one of these credentials, or manage credential ordering yourself, in the end-user webapp that does profile editing / password updates.

An admin may be able to reset your account so that you get the first-login experience again and can enroll new credentials.
The shooting in March 2003 also seems to be a suicide attempt
Jobs was right to say it's not part of some grand conspiracy, but if you look more closely, you see that people ("consumers") and media are both produced by the same ideological and economic forces that serve each other. It's not some sinister plot, it's just how culture has developed to this point.

The media does give people what they want, but where do people get ideas of what they want? It's a dialectic, not a one-way causative relationship.
This is a good article:

Noticed this yesterday around 5pm EST.

Edit: Also noticed that when generating API keys, the dropdown wouldn't list all my accounts for setting permissions. Just assumed it was all related or something.

Either way, overall super insanely reliable product/service and could not live without.
+1 for this. The "business" folk might be filling your day to day with features that only improve conversion rates which is soul draining, of course, but nothing feels worse than working on something interesting surrounded by these wannabe wozniak "nerds" that instill this unspoken aura of "youre too dumb to be in the room with me." THOSE are the people that i hate the most in this industry.
I haven't confirmed this but I heard if you do alternate views with half a mask on both sides you might be able to unlock with a mask. I don't own a faceID phone so don't know if this is true.
> One, Facebook is based around the concept of a real person being behind just about everything - when you administer a group, you can see which person posted the individual company/page posts.

So do it the same way every other website on the planet does it: have an organization and users who have roles within that organization. It's beyond aggravating the way they have them so strongly linked.

> Two, nothing can happen to your personal account based on the actions of the company page or other people associated with it.

.... I'm guessing this hasn't happened to you. Yes, they will block your personal account for "certain" infractions committed by the business manager. Nearest I can tell it depends on how you set up the business. If you set up the business FB page first, your personal account is considered primary so all blame flows to it. If you set up the business manager first, and THEN set up the page using the business manager (NOT the page creator), then it won't affect your personal account; and if you invite someone, no, that person's account won't (generally) be affected either.

Except that FB always drives you to create the business PAGE first and LATER suggests the business manager... thus increasing the likelihood of blocks. It's pathological. Especially because you can blocked for nothing other than their AI misidentifies something in an ad or a post, kills all your accounts, and then you have to beg to get them back.

Point is, that relationship shouldn't exist in the first place.
Well the article is consistent with the ones you posted. I don't see any other side of the story. It's rather a continuation of the same story.

“Our interpretation suggests that we may be forced to suspend the activity of our distribution centers in France,” Amazon said in a statement. “The court gave categories that are very general and create ambiguity that would be too hard to implement, this is a complex business to run,” a spokeswoman for Amazon told Bloomberg.

Amazon isn’t able to reduce its activity and must shut down completely “because of the terms and conditions of the court order, especially because of their ambiguity and the absence of definition,” the e-commerce giant said in an internal memo that was seen by Bloomberg. The company will suspend activity at its fulfillment centers for an “initial period” of five days starting on April 16, it said.

5 days, with 100% of their pay btw. That does not sound like a "threat" to me. Why frame it as such?

Yes, it's another thing you can lose, but in practice I don't think it's really a problem -- certainly not the issue that would decide a phone for me, since rarely are all other specs equal.

Where "somewhat close" means more than 10% more expensive, same as for the UK.

Maybe US consumers get a device subsidy because they are expected to buy more of the expensive apps and services, sort of like in a razor/blade model?
Why even test 100 controls if your conclusion relies on a prior that false-positives are much less than 1%? I think that shows the author's are worried about false-positives and have failed to rule them out sufficiently.

Your second two points are fairly compelling.
So why doesn't this guy setup clinical trials instead of providing non-confirmed medical advice on the daily?

Probably cause he is lazy and more interested in selling and promoting himself than he is actually solving problems.

Ahh, it's far more uncommon for me to feel like a database is over engineered. It's much more common to find a codebase has 7 levels of indirection but the database fails to accurately and completely represent their business domain.

When I do feel a database is over engineered it is almost exclusively adding complexities to the database to handle a contrived or rare examples. With the most common being "splitting one table into 2 because a one to one relationship is actually a one to many once every 5 years", or "adding a join table because in Joe's 30 year career there was that one time multiple companies jointly sold us a single product"

Yup. This is the central point that big phone people don't understand about small phone people. It isn't phone width. It's screen size.

Very good question. Most companies that started out from being supermarkets, fashion or restaurants who then have an app on the App Store and use tech made from FAAMNG companies now call themselves "tech companies" which they clearly are just are using them; thus are "tech-enabled".

Companies involved with both creating, producing or contributing to actual "technology" like CPU design, OSes, SDKs, compilers and toolchains which most of the FAAMNG and semiconductor companies do fit the definition of a "tech company".

I still shot (for still life images, mostly, with external flash) with a D60 until I upgraded that to an used, beat-up D700.

You can definitely get much better images if you have a good lens, and on older cameras good lighting or very good form. But more modern smartphone lenses and software are plenty good for certain types of photography (and especially video).

I shoot less and less with my D750 and D700 (in non-studio / non-low-light-event situations), and more and more with my iPhone, because of the convenience and portability.

But there are definitely types of pictures that can't be taken without good glass and a larger sensor size. No software can simulate the physics that makes a longer focal length make a great portrait. (You just can't stuff that quality of glass into such a small lens, and the sensor can't physically gather enough photons to compete.)
We should ban encryption so shooters can't plan their attacks without being watched - for the children of course.
> The neurologists delivered their verdict: He appeared to have a textbook case of frontotemporal dementia—known by the shorthand FTD

Oh man, was that a kick in the guts when I got to that bit. My Dad was diagnosed with that in the past year, (after obviously struggling for a while), and declined rapidly. He had a different variant, and indeed the one thing that DIDN'T change was his personality. In fact, that's what kind of fooled me for a while. He would still trot out his usual bad jokes and regular phrases, but after a while you realize these are almost like reflexes, and often wouldn't really make sense in context.

It was interesting to see for Lee how this seemed amplified after heart surgery. My Dad had really bad "post-operative delirium" for about a month after major heart surgery, and while he recovered somewhat, that was definitely the start of his major decline.

Sadly, after moving into a care facility in mid-March, within a couple weeks he was in hospital after contracting Covid-19. He passed away on the 4th of this month from it. The only good to come out of all this was that I'd visited him many times over the past couple years and said "goodbye" many times thinking it might be the last time, even if just mentally and not physically, I'd get to see "my Dad", as I knew him.

Apparently it is often a genetic disorder that can be hereditary, and you can get tested for the genetic markers. As a coder/manager myself who depends on my mind for work, and enjoys being mentally challenged and active, (and I also have young kids), something like this scares the crap out of me. I'm not sure I want to know if I might have it. For one thing, being in the U.S. healthcare system, if I did have the markers, would that then count as a "pre-existing condition" I'd have to disclose?

Not so sure that helps in this situation. FreeNAS users are reporting these drives failing to resilver, which _could mean_ that you end up with a failed array and data loss instead of a failed drive. I'll personally be staying away from WD for a while. I'd rather drives fail prematurely than be a ticking time bomb.
There is a headphone jack, it’s the lightning port. Or use Bluetooth.

According to wikipedia the US stockpile of Mark 48s is over 1000, and the current manufacturer is building about 50 a year, which certainly seems like enough for a little bit. Most military manufacturing happens in country or in an allied country, and there are people in the military devoted to making sure the supply chain for this stuff is healthy, and making sure there is room for surge if needed. As for overseas needs, it's hard to imagine a scenario where the US Navy is unable to defend American convoys in the Atlantic (linking them to manufacturing and raw materials in South America, Europe and Africa) at least not in the first year of the conflict.

Of course in a total war scenario things start to change. When it's truly nation against nation in a global conflict every part of society needs to be re-tooled into a giant war machine. In WW2 the US told General Motors how many cars they were allowed to make a week, because they needed steel for tanks. I imagine any facility capable of making electronics in the US and Europe today would be re-tooled to make the chips for Mark 48s, AIM-120s, SM-2s, etc.

EDIT: Oh, and in a total war scenario, submarines are essential weapons. Remember, a total war isn't just army against army, it's also economy against economy. If you can deny your opponent access to the resources it needs you can win the conflict, and that means you need submarines to sink enemy supply convoys. This would certainly come up in a hypothetical Sino-American conflict. The overwhelming majority of Chinese imports and exports come through ports. The port of Shanghai alone gets more tonnage of supplies in and out in a month than all land routes in and out of China COMBINED get in a year.
I've spent about $600 on various Bluetooth headphones and nothing beats the simple plug and play of a half decent $50 corded set.

Add to that the fact that fully cordless earbuds are beyond ergonomic failure. At least corded can hang around your neck. Bud's one has to pop in and out, hold, put in your pocket. The idea of continuing conversations even if they have passthrough is very rude
For the future, Apple has a short-term return policy (14 days I think) where they'll take a device back for any reason, no questions asked, full refund. So even if it's an intermittent problem that's hard to demonstrate, if you feel like there's something wrong with your device, you can just take it in and get a new one in that time period no matter what.

I hear a lot about the inconvenience of wired headphones, but as a daily user of wired headphones, that's not something I experience. And it certainly doesn't outweigh the costs (financial and environmental) of switching to Apple's disposable wireless headphones.

I don't think the headphone jack will make much of a difference to size (specifically thinness) until they can completely eliminate all ports and move completely to wireless charging. I think that's their endgame here, as ports are the biggest hurdle to the thinness which their industrial designers (and marketers) fetishize.
What advice do you give your students in handling work-life balance?
And even then, they replace batteries now on the cheap ($50 I think). I would say the biggest limiting factor would be OS updates; they guarantee updates for 4 years, which is the longest in the industry, but may be shorter than the lifetime of the device would otherwise be
