I agree that first priority would be data integrety (which would be the runtime). But a large part of the CF experience of a CF customer would be the availability of their management APIs/dashboards, and that would be another part to optimize for.

I'm really suprised that they hosted all those non-vital but still quite critical services in just one DC, or somehow had one DC as a single point of failure. Network issues happen "regular enough" to want to protect against that, or at least have mitigations available.
> I strive to treat all frameworks skeptically (aside from the meta-framework of logical consistency).

Agreed. Describe your thought process for deciding whether someone’s natural rights have been violated.

> I see two notions of 'rights' in common usage, one (which you call a natural right) is predicated on personal liberty and the other predicated on 'ought to have'.

Group A uses the ‘ought to have’ framework to rationalize co-opting the state in their conspiracy to plunder group B.

> Both are invented concepts.

All concepts are invented. I choose to use concepts that most accurately map “non-invented” reality.

> In practice, the first results in people taking increased responsibility for their own lives, increased empowerment, increased freedom. The other concept of rights, in practice, generally has opposite effects.

I agree with this analysis, but it’s not how I arrive at the ethical imperative to protect natural rights.

> setuptools_scm, because our versions must change at every new commit.

I don't get many of these points. For example, at the company I'm about to leave, we worked just fine both manually versioning as well as using tools like versioneer/setuptools_scm.

We made it easy to fire up new projects using a dual template/boilerplate repo strategy. Infrastructure like this is in a boilerplate repo and almost entirely setup for new projects from the start. New projects fork a template project and do a small number of basic steps (like naming the project, etc.). Both the template and project repos are update from the boilerplate Git repo as we make updates to the infrastructure--a simple Git remote setup.

> Cough (7.5%), shortness of breath (1.4%), and fever (0.7%) were all uncommon among COVID-positive individuals

It seems the more important point here is that the majority of the COVID-positive individuals were asymptomatic, putting another datapoint towards the conclusion that there are orders of magnitude more people that have this disease than have tested positive.

We need more studies to gather data on these asymptomatic cases if we want to reopen the economy soon. Imagine if 10+% of the population already had COVID and where immune, we'd be much closer to heard immunity than we currently think.
Lets use all the spare parts of iPhone 8 and call it iPhone SE gen 2. I get the concept but it would have been nice with a iPhone XR design but in the size of the original iPhone SE. $399 is still reasonable.

And that's MY point. How long will people be willing to obey the current restrictions? How long would they be willing to obey even stricter ones, or more lenient ones?

I don't think obedience can be assumed forever. Even China had to weld people inside their apartment buildings. And I don't know if that would be practical here.

Well hydroxychoroquine is only useful before ventilators are needed (it attacks the full lungs) and is actually detrimental - we know that - after by its nature.

What kind of bad science is this study where you actually push patients through a known dangerous path to try to prove the non efficiency of a potential treatment.

> You seem to be assuming that the court ordered something it knew was impossible.

Perhaps it did, or perhaps it didn't. I don't think it's very relevant whether the court knew whether Amazon would be able to comply. It had its priorities, and it ordered Amazon to abide by those priorities. That's something that's perfectly within its rights to do.

But if the court were interested in Amazon's ability to comply, then it could have asked Amazon what it could and couldn't do in what time frame. It did not ask, or at least discarded the response if it did ask, so presumably its orders are not conditioned on Amazon's capabilities.

> That's, to borrow a phrase from the HN code of conduct, assuming bad faith on the part of the court. It seems much more likely to me that it just made a mistake and wasn't itself trying to escalate a war.

You seem really eager to assign good and bad faith and assumptions of the same to various parties, including myself. I am not eager to do that. I am also not willing to assume the court was incompetent or made a mistake. It gave an order, and presumably it had an understanding of the possible range of effects of that order. If it didn't, it could have availed itself of Amazon's thoughts on the subject before issuing the order. I assume the court did know the possible results, and it considers Amazon shutting down temporarily to be an acceptable short term outcome, if necessary to protect worker health.

> So... assuming the court thought this was a reasonable request, why shouldn't Amazon just try to comply?

Because the court said they would be fined if they failed to comply. I'm not making the connection on why Amazon's behavior should be conditioned on what the court's view of the reasonableness of the request is. Surely Amazon's behavior should first be conditioned on Amazon's view of the feasibility of the request, the potential economic and political consequences of failure, etc.?

Is your web-frontend talking directly to an API? Is there a server-side session, or is it stateless?

These are the questions you need to answer before the way to handle anything can be answered. Ultimately, whoever has the session is responsible for renewing the access token - if you're talking to a stateless service that would be the users browser, if you have a server-side session for the app then it would be the server itself.

As far as the access is concerned, avoid token exchange. If foo will always need to talk to bar, then have it request that scope and include it in the tokens.

The problem is that taking some time to read the data doesn't mean the drive has gone bad, at worst perhaps a sector has gone bad, and even then, it might even still be readable, just a bit slow. And apparently it is very common on large capacity green disks after a few months.

The typical bad scenario (and I have been burned by this) is that let's say you use RAID5, and one sector goes bad. While the disk tries to read it, the RAID controller kicks the disk out of the array because of the timeout. Now you need to replace the disk and rebuild the array. In the rebuilt, as you are doing a full read or all disks, you are pretty likely to find another sector that is slow to read on one of the other disks (particularly on multi-TB disks). And then the controller will kick another disk from the array. And now you lost everything.

Also why data scrubbing is pretty important in NAS.

It seems to indicate this disease infected a lot more than what we see, and maybe mortality rate is lower than what we currently assume. Maybe it's around 0.1% to 0.5%.

So is it possible this disease appeared in China way before December, maybe a few months back. Then in December it reached a saturation point (i.e. infected hundreds of thousands of people, so deaths started to get noticed by respiratory specialists). Then around January/February this disease spread to the world, but it went unnoticed. Then in March it reached the same saturation point that the deaths became too many not to notice.

Is this a realistic scenario?

> No file system should be doing random writes,

A typical size for a SMR zone is 256MB, and any writes that aren't appending sequentially to what's already been written to that zone count as "random writes" on a SMR drive. That's an absolutely massive block size to expect filesystems to work around, and I doubt there are any commonly used filesystems that can store their metadata in a SMR-friendly way.

You should really try and use it if you are seriously interested in this paradigm. You can get your hands on it with a bit of searching. As for comparing the two, the philosophies and ideas are similar. Obviously there was significant cross-pollination.

Smalltalk always had an experimental, research-oriented aura around it. It did end up in industry but in a degraded, business sense did not live up to its potential at all in that domain. The Smalltalk environments that have significant value today (mainly Squeak and to a somewhat lesser extent Pharo) are firmly rooted in research.

Genera embraces the same philosophies but also hones them to an extreme degree through the forge of practicality. Its systemic cohesion and attention to detail is unparalleled. There is little "slack" and you don't get the sense that there exist systemic aspects that were not extremely well thought-out in both design and implementation.

I think there's a bunch of strawmen here. It's disingenuous to say that people who found [said person]'s comments to be a bad idea want it to fail.

Indeed, if that person had come up and said "there's a lot of promising treatments, such as ..." or "the experts are telling us that some studies involving [x, y, z] are showing some positive signs" or something of that ilk, nobody would have cared. Instead, the person multiple times touted something that is to date unproved. People find that irresponsible for a number of reasons, not least of which that there are legitimate users who need this and it's now in short supply.

So what people are protesting is someone not waiting for medical science and just causing noise.

Like many things, this person could have handled this all more responsibly.

In any case, thanks for sharing. These test results are definitely reassuring.
From the article:

"The Brazil study was undertaken with 81 patients at a hospital in Manaus, in Amazonas state. As well as chloroquine, patients were also given azithromycin, an antibiotic also being used in the U.S., often paired with chloroquine. However, higher dose use of chloroquine (600 milligrams as opposed to 450 milligrams) was stopped after just six days, after 11 of patients who were given the greater dose died."

So they canceled a test with higher doses, not tests with regular doses.

Meanwhile they touched several times on the fact that Trump touted the drug. If trump recommended hugs, the media would write an article about how choking people is bad.

If he had come out saying exactly the opposite, that HCQ was bad and we should be skeptical, everyone hoping it doesn’t work now would be looking for the 10 person studies saying it totally works and defending its use.

It’s almost beyond reason how hyper partisan this specific issue is.
It's not as simple as company size, it's responsibility and authority.

Necessarily the nature of the job changes a bit if you are a the head of an organizational unit of 600, or 60, or 6. But it changes fundamentally if you have ultimate budget authority, hiring/firing, etc.

Agree there are a lot of somewhat ridiculous titles in early stage startups (ever seen a 5 person company with 3 "C" levels?) but even when you are small (but growing) there is a role distinction between exec and non-exec roles, and there is a difference worth drawing between director-in-name and director-in-fact positions.

If you are truly acting as a director of engineering, I'd expect you have broad authority to act; you don't ultimately decide your budget or technical goals (but you should be involved in determining both) but within those constraints you have most of the decision making responsibility for how & who.
