Not sure they did miss the point, by my reading at least. Outside of impact of vehicle traffic on animals who otherwise roam, you're talking about a very specific part of the park, not the entire park. Huge portions of it are inaccessible to tourist vehicles and seen by very few. The difference between the main areas and backcountry are significant. Both you and the grandparent had experiences that confirmed their comment - you came away very aware of the human impact on our environment.

I don't mean to discount your broader position, I just don't think you're actually arguing against your comment's parent. Yes, the parks are absolutely swamped and many will gradually bring in shuttles or lotteries and the like. Zion runs a shuttle, Bryce also. Half Dome and The Wave have lottery systems as it is. Getting a camping spot in the big name parks during peak season is miserably difficult. When I went to Rocky Mountain last year, we drove Trail Ridge Road and found a parking spot just once that allowed us to stop. Every parking spot was otherwise taken along the entire drive. And the main, named trails' trailheads fill up daily too which meant we didn't even try. But that's not the entire park. Think of it like the ocean where almost everyone plays on the beach but you have to be well-equipped, skilled and aware of risks to dive at a continental shelf or cross oceans or whatever. (Just pretend cruise ships and trawling boats don't exist for this comparison...)
> 192.168.1.0/24, 0.0.0.0/0

I believe his question was, for Allowed IPs, isn't including "192.168.1.0/24" explicitly redundant since you've also specified "0.0.0.0/0"?

The answer, by the way, is yes.
And that’s how you burn all trust, like with the WHO lying about masks, human to human transmission of COVID and the effectiveness of border controls. If they’ll lie for the cause and you know it why trust that third is not one of those times?

Weirdly, an app I purchased on the App Store ran perfectly fine copied to my friends Mac. I wonder why?
> A billionaire who wants to stockpile a million masks just in case definitely not "more important" than a million poor people getting 1 mask each.

Real people don't behave like this. A billionaire can't make personal use of a million masks and there is no point in stockpiling them during a crisis just in case there is some future crisis. They're not going to be worth more a year from now than they are today because by then either demand will be lower or production will be higher.

So nobody would be buying a million masks to hoard in a bunker right now. The people buying them would be the people who intend to use them.

Then you need to differentiate who needs them the most, but there is no way to do that efficiently from the top of a tower. And willingness to pay is a pretty good proxy when marginal utility falls off pretty quickly with quantity. A software engineer isn't going to pay a high price for a thousand masks they don't need any more than the billionaire is going to buy a million. But a doctor's office might very well pay a high price for a thousand masks they do need, which is exactly what you want to see because it causes them to get what they need.
How do you think you caught it?
Not to mention, it's tax deductible.
Yes, but.

If we go with the highest realistic-seeming estimates of contagiousness and (and thus lowest of deadliness), then we can say that what NY and Italy saw was something close to worst-case. One reasoned estimate had 20% of Italians -- and almost 40% of Northern Italians -- infected in a six-week period.

If that estimate is correct, then even if Italy completely unlocked tomorrow, and held mass hug-ins and cough-ins at every gathering place, it still would probably only get back to as bad as it was 3 weeks ago, and probably only stay there for a month or so.

That would be incredibly tragic, but not world endingly so.

On the other hand, if you take the maximal estimate the other way, and say that Italy and NY at the peak were detecting 1/3-1/2 of their cases (it kinda can't be more than that), then there is the potential for outbreaks 5x as bad and 10x as long unless they stay socially distant until there is a vaccine in widepsread use -- and even so, hundreds of thousands more will inevitably die along the way.

Myself, I think the evidence points to higher contagiousness than this, but the difference does actually matter, even if that still outs us beyond the "threshold of ignorability"

Ask HN: How’s WFH Going?
Are you enjoying the long duration of working from home?
That doesn't work for me. I don't generally buy products I see in ads or commercials because I think that a good product doesn't need advertising. I try to discover products myself and do my own research on them. Whether is about food, clothing, cars, art, books, computers or services. If I can't research it myself, I'd ask someone with more expertise.
Your gym is closed because of the quarantine. It's not in of itself the fault of WFH, especially if there are alternative gyms near where you live.
Show HN: Backup your Slack chat without admin permissions or workspace apps
I want to backup chat messages (just the texts) from my Slack workspaces to local machine. However, I don't have admin permissions and I can't install Apps on workspaces to have that API Key. Thus, I wrote this bash script to use my browser's session key and cookie to curl all the messages (all the way back to the beginning of each channels) and dump them to local storage in JSON format.
I can later process the JSON files and import them into a database. But that's later.
From Wikipedia: Cobain is claimed to have considered that Nirvana had "made it" with the success of Yankovic's parody.

"And many modern economists endorse a minimum wage, as eugenicists did then, but with even less regard for the harm it causes."

Come on, you know the idea of a minimum wage is pretty widely accepted as a good idea by a lot of people, including (most? edit: apparently majority, but not by much) economists. You can't just phrase something as if it was widely accepted as true and make it so.

Don't get me wrong, you're absolutely allowed to voice your opinion on this, but the way you've phrased it strikes me as being rather intellectually dishonest.
Minimum wage puts a floor on the amount of value necessary for someone to be employable. Many people, especially those just starting out can't produce that much value.
I understand what you are saying. I wish there was a aolution though. Nobody care about anything 5+ years down the road. Everyone magically assumes some magic invention will undo years of ignoring science. Anyways, in this particular case, it is probably not preventable, but I wish we could quantify the effect closer to a year or two.

>> Any firm worth working for will have this as either a stipend, or otherwise handled as part of hiring remote workers.

This is just not true. I have never worked for a colocated company that pays for you to set up your home office. Most do not hire remote works either so there is no predefined (and budgeted) setup

We'll also see if in the face of double-digit unemployment (don't think that's going to resolve itself the minute we get back to work) companies that don't have these discretionary benefits loose out on talent...
They can raise prices moderately on everything to make up for it, and/or stock things that are slightly less appealing in normal times to slow turnover and bias sales towards those more in need. For instance, the pasta section was about 5% full and almost entirely things like whole wheat, cauliflower gluten-free, or turmeric. But that's fine with me. Your tone is that this is not the optimal solution and some misguided people are causing it by mistake. I don't think that's the case.

People who get upset about the lack of high prices for scarce commodities seem to me to be inconsistent - if you aren't in a high stakes zero-sum competition, then why should you care much about being able to outbid others? And if you think that you are, how can you ethically defend everyone not getting a minimum ration or be sure that in a so-called free market you will get yours?
I don't know about New Zealand, but in 1912 Arthur Holcombe of Harvard University said about Australia's minimum wage:

"[The minimum wage will] protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese."
Agreed, what harm does a minimum wage cause? We have a reasonable minimum wage in Australia (though I don't think it's been adjusted for inflation for a while) and it facilitates time for education, which in turn facilitates social mobility.

On the other hand, you can have no minimum wage, and end up with a class of working poor who have no time to educate themselves, thus condemning them to a life of constant work with no hope of social mobility.

I don't see how a minimum wage is harmful.
Agreed. The only place where software that the OP wants to create can reside is in the hobbyist community or free, open source community. In the real world this isn’t cost effective or viable.

Unsure. I work from home so my exposure to germs is already pretty minimal, however, I did take a trip to SF about two weeks before I showed symptoms. My girlfriend is also a school teacher so she ends up bringing a lot of colds home. She never (and still hasn't) showed any major symptoms other than a small fever that lasted just a day or two a week after we got back from SF (although she could have been an asymptomatic carrier).
And where's the contradiction? GPL software is always open, the knowledge is out there, and people can use and share it.

>Come on, you know the idea of a minimum wage is pretty widely accepted as a good idea by a lot of people, including (most?) economists.

From a recent study https://cei.org/blog/what-do-economists-think-about-minimum-... : "A new poll of professional economists finds 74 percent of respondents opposing a $15 per hour minimum wage—and nearly a mirror image of non-economist public opinion, which is nearly a mirror opposite. 84 percent believe it would have a negative impact on youth employment levels. 43 percent favor eliminating the minimum wage outright. Only 12 percent of respondents identify as Republicans, which is roughly representative of the profession as a whole, with 35 percent identifying as Democratic and 46 percent as independents."
I dunno, we might want to start getting some sources in on this. This is the one article I've seen beforehand that discusses how much economists endorse the idea of a minimum wage ($15/hr specifically) and it casts doubt on your very confident tone. I don't really know what to believe, maybe more polls are necessary.

This seems to be a very common tactic with American right wingers (on the internet at least) - speak/write as if the actually controversial/differing parts of your belief are obviously true, and only go into detail on what logically follows from those axioms.
A large percentage of the world's economy is about superfluous things and addictions. The 2-3 months break is going to wean off a lot of people and the number of people going back will be fewer. That's my opinion. What everyone else is looking at is money

1). large percentage of small businesses were running month to month after 2-3 months of no revenue many of them won't start back up again.

2). Over the lockdown period people have lost jobs, run through their savings or run up large credit card debt. Once it opens they will be frugal to either save up or pay of the debt.

3). Bankruptcies and repossessions are going to create a glut of supply at the same time demand will be less so industries won't be able to start back up much even after the lock down is removed.

These are just some of things happening that I see going forward. Maybe I am wrong and that's not how economies work. All this is just the current situation we are not even sure how long these lockdowns will last. But as economy shrinks it will effect every industry.
> You install and run the HaaS proxy application, downloadable from our website

Said website is a GitLab repo without a release artifact in sight, so I guess “downloadable” means you can download the source code, compile it yourself, and figure out how to set it up on your own.

Sure makes it easy to join...
"With" or not with you don't find it a bit ridiculous to say that a group designed a C compatible language that can cross compile to/from Windows easier than any existing C compatible language to this point yet they specifically chose the whitespace as they did because they want to screw with Windows users - no better reason?

Again Unix newline style is the least of the worries for whitespace, Windows and built-ins like Notepad handle it just fine for years now if that's what you code in. Try inserting tabs in place of spaces as you please in Python or Haskell though and yes you are likely to run into problems trying to run a program. It's not called "significant whitespace" in those languages because it's ignored.

It's fine to point out you think something is harder to use than it needs to be but the way you've done it says more about you than the language. You won't a whole language because it requires you run the built in formatter to compile? Might as well not use GCC either it forces you to use -- for options instead of / and other tools handle it just fine they just want to screw with Windows users that's it! What's left to talk about except these kind of nitpicks if that's where you draw the line for ignoring whole projects with years of effort put in them at?

None of what I put here was claimed as justification I said the Zig docs link to the reasons. Specifically (in case you'd rather I'd bring them up for you) the reasons were around ease of parsing as a large portion of the syntax was. The whole language specification is actualy very specific about making sure each line can be simply tokenized individually and parsed one way regardless of convetion - not actually so picked just to screw with people that like tabs or Windows. Zig fmt is allowed to "eat" any complexity in normalizing code (referencing ICU data, normalizing whitespace and other syntax, and so on) so zig build-exe doesn't have to. This philosophy of keeping as much functionality out of the core compiler and language is a big part of what allows Zig to target many places e.g. Rust doesn't even though Zig is still very fresh.

If running "zig-fmt" as part of your custom build process or using one of the editor plugins ziglang maintains that does this for you is "a slap in the face to users" I'm not sure there is any language those users would be happy with as there are other things they are going to like less than it replacing their whitespace on them. It's certainly not harder to do than post scathing reviews about how you couldn't just use tab on the release discussions though.
I get dips in my joy of programming when I'm working on mostly easy problems. This happened to me at a few places I've worked, the work becomes so easy that I can do it without thinking and there aren't a lot of areas to improve or so much red tape it isn't worth it. Recently I started working at a startup where I get to do a bunch of different types of task and everyday I'm learning new stuff. It made my joy of programming return and I realized that the joy comes from the challenge of it, for me at least.
Please accept this physicalist's take:

- Advertising as a first-principle works, because our biology is amenable to familiarity.

sheer repetition ⇒ familiarity ⇒ positive bias ("things I know / like / trust / ...", common pattern)

There might be more to it, but that's enough, and proved enough times in many a scientific study afaik.

- Applying the technique to a real-world problem has varying levels of efficiency; whether it's the wrong solution or badly executed.

Heed this naive comparison: not all bridges are good, and some are scams. But there's no question whether building bridges is useful in the first place. The question is and forever will be, what should be the rules for making good enough bridges, safe enough?

Advertising as a domain and market is not a special snowflake in most regards. It's actually boringly common, dare I say predictable.

____

Where it gets tricky. Where first-principles aren't enough because complexity is at a whole other level: advertising is the primary revenue for a bunch of industries, most notably the press (the media) which is otherwise considered "the fourth pillar of democracy", i.e. that quality of information in a democracy is as necessary as government, congress, and justice, the 3 branches of the republic ideal form.

How do you reconcile that the biggest "influencers" of public opinion, the press, is itself mostly influenced financially by the most interest, biased, self-tauting side of the entire economy? Wherein not rational engineers, not sane financiers, not level-headed CEOs or even just Jane and John your co-workers next door have a voice, not even sales who know that lying and deceiving is not the way to build a sustainable business... but marketing, in other words those whose job is to create a Hollywood-fiction of fabled greatness... it's not lying, it never was, it's been elevated as fiction —see: artistic awards for the best ads, superbowl hype, and the actual real cinematographic value of some of that, hands down. Nevermind that the products are asking for real money, however.

And then we wonder why the media has become such a theatrical ongoing masterpiece of sensationalist storytelling. Well, lines were crossed.

Why infotainment has become such a norm that it is now capable of higher quality than "editorialized" (read: advertiser-leashed) newsrooms. “No, Jane, we can't say that. We'd lose ad money, you don't want us to fire people, do you?”

The sheer complexity of that makes me want to duck in quantum machine learning and call it a day on politics.

I don't have a perfect solution, I can only see red lines in law and a certain sense of ethics, like we value life, we should value information. In short, bug is in human code, thus fix as well.

The irony of this comment is that it is exactly missing the morality in an economic situation, the claim being that if you are capable of work and are trying your best, you deserve to have enough pay to live off of.

Minimum wage does not price people out of jobs, it puts a cap on the profit that a corporation can squeeze out of its workers. Employers who would be paying under it are simply not viable moral businesses, they would be businesses based off the exploitation of its workforce.

Now we can have economic arguments about what is true here, but the purpose of minimum wage today is a moral one and that must be factored in.
Any lingering aftereffects?
That sounds like it supports my statement? 74% oppose a specific increase, but only 43% oppose having a minimum wage. (That wording is ambiguous as to whether that's 43% of 100% or 43% of 74%, but both are < 50%)
Like from a few weeks back, the conclusion that COVID-19 will kill 10% of people who contract it, based on the testing from one town in northern Italy.
People whose labor is worth less than the minimum wage become unemployable. Being unemployed means you can’t acquire skills or experience and is bad for your mental health and social attachment.

If you want to look at the literature you can start with Card and Krueger, which shows minimal effects for a small minimum wage discontinuity, I believe on the NJ/NY border. The Seattle minimum wage study showed a reduction in hours and benefits and reduced likelihood of new entrants to the labor market. It’s an exciting example of people looking really hard for ways to confirm their priors on both sides.

Or you can look at Europe. Greater employment protections raise the price of employing someone leading to greater unemployment. Minimum wages do the same thing more explicitly. Businesses buy less of things that are more expensive.

You are comparing the moral stance of supporting eugenics with the moral stance of supporting a minimum wage? Are those just the first two random moral stances taken by economists that you recall, or are you trying to color the perception the latter with the true horror of the former?
