Valid critiques.

1) Yes this could be true in some cases but a lot of the way in which the "haves" exploit these kind of systems is by throwing man hours of attorneys and accountants at them because the rules are super verbose and complicated and so you hire profesional loop hole finders. If I simple piece of legislation is obviously exploitable, that will be more obvious from the get go and will less heavily favor the peoe who can pay the loophole finders.

Also you cant exploit things that don't exist.

2) no, I agree you have to draw your line in the sand somewhere. I'm not an anarchist. I could take your argument in the same direction to absurdity as well. If redistribution solves all problems, let's create comittees to redistribute on a person to person basis until we reach a fair utopia.

We don't do that because we acknowledge that the cost benefit of doing that gets hyperbolically negative at a certain point. What I'm advocating is that the line where that happens is actually much earlier, and that the last 10 years have shown that we are already on the wrong side of that line and that our approach to legislating away complex issues can at best handout money to certain interest in a fairly dumb way, and those groups are always going to be the ones that have a say in the legislation process via lobbying or direct involvement.

So no, I'm not arguing against child labor laws, I'm arguing against complicated redistribution programs. Nothing less, nothing more

Oh please... I’ve solved more customer needs and business value from this "dumpster fire" than I have with other "real languages" I've worked with in my career. Give it some credit.
Tried, no luck so far.
I had heard of this before, but didn't know that screensavers were designed to prevent that damage from happening. In this case, the bouncing DVD logo seems like an odd choice, as the way it's designed, there are certain pixels on the screen that it will never cross (corners, for example), which would fail to serve the desired purpose. Can someone explain?

The problem is, an alternative flight is more than twice the price. I would like the airline to cover that for me. Not including that I had even bought travel insurance... Which expedia promptly cancelled without warning.
Through layoffs or attrition though?
That's incredibly naive, you don't learn how to be a lawyer by watching lawyers do lawyer things. In the UK - that's what you do as a first year associate... after THREE YEARS OF LAW SCHOOL and their version of the bar exam. It is true that some US states will allow a bar applicant upon the certification of a firm. But there, the firm is essentially certifying that they provided the equivalent education. Have you seen a bar examination? It would not make sense to anyone who hasn't studied law, and even then, everyone taking it pays $4k for a preparation program that only makes sense to someone who has spent three years in law school. I'm not sure how you think that knowledge gap will be closed by somebody who just watches and spell checks.

For example, lawyers write. How is it possible for this person to develop their writing? Typically in law school, you spend an entire school year in one class developing your legal writing. Writing briefs from scratch for your professor, so he can IN DETAIL explain what you did right and wrong. Do you think a firm is going to invest this time in such an individual? I don't think that is a likely circumstance.

Nevertheless, what you describe is essentially an internship, which law students typically do their 1L and 2L summers. Oddly enough - the minimum wage has nothing to do with it. They are jobs where you are either working at a large firm and getting compensated at the same rate you would as a full time(180k a year - not too shabby for a fresh grad), or you are working at a smaller firm and probably for free... Nowhere is the minimum wage getting in the way.

I can see why the other poster kept taking up the issue with you. I can't imagine an actual situation where it's as you describe.
Hey, you do you! If you have reached equilibrium in that you are happy and fulfilled and also a productive member of the team, that seems great for all parties involved.
>the least unfair option for this particular one.

Nah dude, the least unfair option is to make sure everyone isn't in pain. After that, charge money, do whatever...but your option to literally hurt people for the way they were born sucks and breeds contempt.

Thank you for adding these points. I did not know about the yeast - so thank you!
This is a really interesting question that I don't pretend to be an expert on.

It probably comes down to what causes the difference in reaction to the infection. It could be that there are differences in people's immune systems that cause them to have a much more severe reaction. In this case the quarantining wouldn't have an effect.

If people who are having a much more severe reaction are getting a strain of the virus that has mutated to cause these more intense symptoms then you would see the issue you are talking about.

My uneducated guess is that it is the former, but I'm really not sure.
Hours?

About 3 weeks ago I went to Walmart at 6AM to beat the crowds. I got meat (20lb tube of ground beef!), rice, flour, and a bunch of essentials. Checked the toilet paper aisle and they were out.

Went back to my car and while I sitting there, I saw people leaving the store with TP. Asked a lady where she got it and went back inside. It was gone!

Between the time I checked the racks and left the store (maybe ten minutes at most), they put out toilet paper and sold out! That's insane.

I lived in an American food desert for about six months. I hated it! All I could get was cheap burgers and hot dogs and chicken...

The main health problem facing the poorest Americans is obesity, with opioid addiction a close second. Famine is not an issue here and I hope it stays that way.

I'm genuinely unsure what point you're trying to make, but there's an enormous gap between the supply chain being unable to fill the shelves as fast as they're emptied, and the country not having food to put back on those shelves. That's the point I'm trying to make.

You can compare iphone and android performance benchmarks here [0] and here [1].

Apple devices still come out ahead of top of the range models from other manufacturers.

Yes I know benchmarks can be gamed and don't mean everything, but there is still a performance difference between top of the line Android models today, vs not only top of the line iPhones, but also iPhones from a couple of years back.

The situation has given me a new perspective on the ultimate purpose of all those sales around Thanksgiving. The stores know they're going to be selling a large amount of items some time before Thanksgiving. But they can't just order large quantities of items, only to store them until people decide to buy them. Rather, the sales let the supply chain control when people will be buying the bulk quantities, so the goods can arrive in stores as close to being sold as possible.
I occasionally see this sentiment regarding investment. It's terrifying how some people believe that such dramatically unethical crimes are totally fine in these less direct contexts where a small number of powerful people hurt many "stupid" people who "deserve it". E.g. you see the same attack made on people struggling with student loans, based on a simplified version of reality that hyperfocuses on the personal responsibility of people lacking power.
The US at least no longer has the unity, trust, or will to coordinate collective action through government.
I think the idea is similar to statistical sampling, or Nielsen ratings: to have a branch of government which is, on average, mathematically representative of the public, in a way that no electoral process could ever hope to accomplish.

The specific proposal I would make for the US is what I call the People's Congress, replacing the House of Representatives, leaving the Senate and executive roles as-is (other than unrelated electoral reforms like RCV).

As a check against abuse of power, or nominating someone unfit, every randomly-selected candidate can be voted out, albeit requiring a very high margin (maybe 66%: "the People's Veto"). Note that this position would be a mandatory form of public service, not unlike jury duty. Terms would be two years, and representatives would cycle in and out on a regular, rolling basis.

A realistic proposal? Not even slightly. In the current climate we can barely get basics like mail-in voting right. (Maybe it's something that be done as proof-of-concept at the scale of an eccentric municipality?) Nonetheless: my hunch is that having a branch of government, possibly even the entire legislative body, being statistically comprised of We The People in a way that is impossible to game, would generally be less corrupt, and more responsive to the needs and preferences of constituents.
It just means the market cap is higher, nothing else.
Indeed.

By delaying the formal response it would have been possible to get most of of the economic harm of distancing while only getting a small part of the benefit.

Many people started distancing in the couple weeks before the shelter in place orders started. I know people that quit jobs to get away from the public, etc.

Yet many of those people who were increasing their distance, lowering their economic activities, etc. were also living with others who were in denial about the pandemic and where nothing short of a vague threat of citation/arrest or a closure of their hangouts would cause them to reduce their interaction... at least until people they know started dying, which would be too late for intervention (yet at that point they'd still drop out of economy!). In a "no order" world, you'd still get most of the economic hit of that household shutting down-- but they might often still get the infection, contribute load on the hospitals, and potentially die because one member of the household was less responsive to common sense.

Various legal and economic mitigations would also be less likely to exist absent an official response.
Bad numbers? Those are the numbers. How are you getting an IFR of 0.35? Where is the source for that? Does that source represent a projection or data coming from the results of tests being conducted?

My source for the CFR represents the totality of real information the world has presented us to date.

"A CFR can only be considered final when all the cases have been resolved (either died or recovered). The preliminary CFR, for example, during the course of an outbreak with a high daily increase and long resolution time would be substantially lower than the final CFR."

Yes, I held out THIS long for a small form factor.
It's an interesting thought but I'm not aware of any way to plausibly connect the two, mathematically.
I can’t say I have data as evidence, but I think they were doing this because competitors made bigger phones, and consumers preferred them, and Apple never planned to make a bigger phone at the time.

Apple was actually right about a smaller phone being better for one-hand use, but they were probably not correct about that particular trait being critical to the mass market.

I think what they didn’t anticipate was that screen size is just another trade-off that is on the table.

Think about it: why would Apple have to make this advertisement if the consumer already agreed with this sentiment? To me it feels like damage control.

For many customers, the answer to the question “would you rather have a large screen to view video and game content easily or be able to use your phone one-handed?” was the former.

My advice for anyone with a phone that feels too large is to invest $10 into a PopSocket, and give it a solid week before you give up on it.
They threaten to stop an essential service during a national emergency? Yes, definitely a smart move.
I'd love to see that video. I would call this "Chipotle Syndrome". It is a long-held hypothesis I have that MBAs are subjectively-motivated rent-seekers looking to pad their resumes and they do so by transient boosts in, say, profits - most infamously by sacrificing product quality (e.g. outsourcing) - leaving the future of the company poorer as they chase the golden parachute. Chipotle is a famous example of a founding team going public, bringing in MBAs, and then having to constantly appease Wall St. rent-seekers until, voila, their food quality suffers; likely because of labor cutting costs introducing unskilled labor to a relatively speaking complicated food preparation scheme.

Meanwhile Wall St. simply downgrades, the MBAs shrug their shoulders and speak about drive-thru ordering as an innovation, the Founders get ousted, and people become sick.

That’s normal, and there’s nothing wrong with being motivated by solving a problem rather than by the tech itself. Tho if you actively dislike programming you may want to consider another field.
Thanks a lot for your detailed comment. The work you did with splitting the JSP files shows the power of the tool, and it’s things like these that are inspiring to know about (since I don’t know Emacs, normally I would’ve just reached out to awk or a combination of sed and awk for something like that).
In Lee's case, at least when he started his career; the answer to that is definitely "yes". He didn't "toil", and he was working on something he believed in and was passionate about.

While Lee's personality changed a lot over time, he was always the guy who got more out of hanging out in a garage building something than someone touring France/Italy/etc.
> Why do you think that is? Because the stay-at-home orders worked. NY is the worst case scenario and you want to stop things before they get that bad.

To be fair, though I agree with you in general, NY-- esp NYC-- is much more dense than the rest of the country and as a result R(effective) may have been much higher there than other places. It may be the case that much stronger measures were needed there then in many other places.

So while it is true that part of the reason other places are less bad is because the policies worked, differences between the locations may also play a significant role.
Once the software problems are fixed, then just about anything you might want to put on a NAS is suitable for an SMR drive. Big files work just fine. Put all your big media files on it. Little files are fine in limited amounts, or in occasional bursts. You could install a program to it, but you wouldn't want to put your user folder on it. Don't put cache or temp files on it, or a database. Don't put a virtual machine's disk on it, since that implies an internal filesystem that doesn't know about the layout.
Right, that's the #2 scenario where all the decision-making is done by the judge. The judge doesn't check off a list. He reads the statute, considers the facts presented, and determines how best to achieve the goal of the statute. He just doesn't refer to previous cases, and considers each case uniquely. But precedent in the common law is only as binding as the facts and argumentation convinces. So that's why I'm saying the differences between these two systems are more mechanical than they are substantively different approaches where one is reasonable and the other isn't. Neither system chains themselves to the rote definition of words or statutes. In both legal systems, reasonability and judgment are used to ensure that the law is being applied appropriately.
It's obviously a profit motive. They can charge more and have to spend less on R&D since they don't have to try to squeeze all the hardware into a small form factor. Not to mention there is no competition that could eat into their marketshare since nobody is making small phones.

Titles, titles, titles... 90% of companies don't need 80% of the titles they use. We like to mimic the giants and the unicorns but the reality is those positions overlap so much in smaller / medium sized startups where one guy is doing the job of 2. We need to grow our organizations and the culture strategically and only when necessary. This will also save people a ton of money.

“ One reviewer made a marvelous comment in rejecting one of the early papers, saying that if this problem really existed it would be so important that everybody knowledgeable in the field would have to know about it, and “I’m an expert and I don’t know about it, so therefore it must not exist.” “

>A second order effect would be the rise of a regional competitor to fill the vacuum.

No, it wouldn't. Amazon in the US is amazing compared to what Amazon is in Europe. Packages take a lot longer to arrive and the choice is much worse. There isn't even a central Amazon EU website! Yet no competitors exist. Absolutely nothing is even close to Amazon. For whatever reason, the EU market is incredibly behind in these kinds of services.

This is not a critique, CloudFlare is clearly a solid, well engineered system given its scale, just look at their other post-mortems.

But it's just kind of interesting, you can have all the redundant systems and smart software and some dude could accidentally pull cables – oh humans!

Would love to see what other mitigations they came up with than the ones listed (apart from probably putting 20 BRIGHT RED labels next to the patch panels saying DO NOT DISCONNECT, EVER EVER EVER!).

Perhaps one mitigation could be a better way to literally identify who's there and call them up within seconds and ask what they just did?
That's quite strong wording, nothing in that article indicates that Deno is blessing Pika specifically.

In fact Ryan Dahl said one of their biggest regrets was blessing npm in node. I'd be surprised if Deno jumped into blessing a package registry any time soon.
That section on ancient languages tending to lack blue is very interesting. I wonder if there was just a lack of blue in their environment. If the local birds and flowers don't contain any blue, then you just have the sky and the sea(or whatever large body of water.)

If the majority of the blue you see in the world is the sky and the sea, would you just start to think of blue as a blank? If you just consider blue as something more like we consider white, then any competing hues dominate what you describe. So just like white with the tiniest bit of red becomes pink, a purplish sea becomes red?
I don’t have the same issue with focus, etc. but I’m a couple years into my software career and have noticed a drastic shift in my cognitive abilities. Not negative per say, but it’s clear that being focused and working on a logic puzzle all day is changing how my brain is wired. You can imagine that our brain, after years of programming, starts to find shortcuts and such to make the tasks easier, but I find it’s coming at the expense of my ability to clearly communicate ideas and thoughts to others. I don’t like it, and I’m very curious if other people experience this.
