Which counties? Are there any people who have been prevented from visiting friends, or prosecuted for doing so?

I mean, I'm seeing a whole lot of screaming about Freedom here and very little evidence of any such abridgement.

All of the mentioned domains I check as either parked or a redirection. It can be one guy deciding to surf the wave and waiting for the domains to be bought.
I've been hearing people apologizing for them because of their past deeds, some of which were helping to eliminate infectious diseases worldwide. That's fallacious, however, because what the WHO once was doesn't mean the WHO of today is just like that. I'm personally inclined not to believe anything the WHO says, especially after their director said something about "more bodies in bags" if the United States defunds them, which comes off as either a mafioso style threat or a delusion of grandeur.
> My impression was that investments in US entities requires, kind of, a lawyer. So not that much different, if you ask me.

Germany doesn’t kind of require a layer. You actually need a lawyer. In the Anglosphere you would be wise to procure the services of a lawyer if you’re doing anything remotely out of the ordinary and dealing with lots of money but if not you can set up an LLC or Ltd. or some other standard corporate structure using off the shelf documentation and b filling in the appropriate blanks yourself.

I've just recently spun up some VMs on my mid-range laptop with KVM. Once I got it up and running, I was pretty happy with the performance, but getting it there was not super easy.

In particular, qemu and apparmor don't always play nicely together and the error messages you get by default don't tell you that it's an apparmor problem.

Importing a VMDK package was also tricky, I ended up having to get familiar with some XML incantations to get the machine to import properly. Feedback from qemu or its friends was totally obtuse and unhelpful there too.
While it's not at all lightweight, that's exactly how I'm working from home now, using the free Windows 10 VM.

This is 100% true if you did not do your due diligence before you all committed to whatever you are building. One of the best ideas is to hire someone like me who has failed at building something and helped other people try and iron out some of the unanswered questions. Someone else already mentioned this. He is likely just as capable. It may take a fresh set of eyes and a fresh outside voice. I can point you to other people as well.

The actual potential market size may not matter. It is never a great idea to build a business from the top down. Instead, build from the bottom up by seeing if you can sell your product to whoever you think is the customer. The true test is right there. If you cannot get all of the stakeholders to the table due to needed partnerships, it provides another precautionary red flag.
Ok, NY counted some that they shouldn't have. There's a vast majority of the country other than NYC that is affected by the virus and vast rest of the world too. You decided to nitpick one example and made it sound like a pattern.
False equivalence. Car accidents are not transmitting at viral rates. Cars are not infecting other cars even when they are working perfectly well. Seasonal flu is not killing 2% of those infected, and even then we take necessary measures to avoid the common flu.

"this is not a grass root movement "

This is a deeply disingenuous statement and essentially false.

a) The protestors at the rallies clearly believe in their cause. You can't delegitimize their opinion.

b) CNN just published a study showing 2/3 worried about opening to early 1/3 worried about not opening soon enough.

That's 100M Americans, out of them it only takes a few to be very concerned.

The snippets from a recent protest of individuals describing how they are going out of business, will lose their livelihoods, homes and going destitute cannot be dismissed.

S. Korea has no lock-down with tracing. Sweden has no lock-down and is going 'kind of ok'.

It's deeply disturbing to see major companies suppress individuals' right to reasonable expression and it's not helpful to diminish their views just because a few idiots in Russia may like it.

The protests are fine, except for all the guns, which is a little spooky.

> The legal questions of what FB’s rights are to control their platform are irrelevant to a discussion on the merits of how they choose to do it

But nice attempt to derail the conversation.

It’s amazing how quickly this community turns into a bunch of free market libertarians the moment censorship is brought up.

Using your line of reasoning, Verizon is a corporation that can make decisions based on what they believe the shareholders would want.

To simply throw out their rights to control their network is anti-civil liberties and anti-democracy as well.

If you and others do not want to use Verizon that's your right and your right to publicize, they do not owe you or me, anything.

If it turns out more people agree with you, Verizon will feel it with their stock price and most likely make adjustments. To say that they owe the public a neutral-network, is a leap if not a huge jump..

I don't think the protesters are asking for people to be forced back into contact. (though admittedly, restarting will mean pressure on those who'd rather not)

And I seriously doubt any of the protesters are landowners, aside, perhaps from "owning" their houses. ("owning" == mortgages, in most cases)
At that point, just use Morse code. For small buildings, the cuckoo clock method works too.
>Pelosi blocked that.

Why should the American people pay to fill it when they can now be paid instead to store the oil? The market's decided that the toxic asset needs to go somewhere and the speculators that bought it (not the producers) will pay.

>The workaround is to cheaply rent out the reserve as storage space

Cheaply? They took a risk in speculating and it didn't work out. The solution is to give them a choice: surrender their oil to the USG (to avoid paying storage fees) or pay the USG for the service of storing it.

No bailouts, fuck that.

Hm, I can't find any sources to this effect. Have one? I vaguely recall a bit about paying over market for petroleum to refill the reserve, with the idea being we fill a demand and prop up the gas industry.

That was true for IBM mainframes manufactured prior to 2005. The hardware management console computer (kind of like BIOS setup on steroids) was a PC running OS/2. Models since 2005 have used Linux instead, although the management app on Linux was designed to duplicate the visual look of OS/2 (to make existing users feel more comfortable.)

I remember around 2006 or so, watching a service technician replace some faulty hard disk drives in an enterprise SAN. He opens up the front door, and out of this compartment he slides a laptop computer which runs some management software. From the look of the user interface, it appeared to be running Windows 3.1.
One tweet from one police department isn't generalizable across the board.
You said three times that they are "smart", but that doesn't really say much about what they are capable of doing. They may be great managers, writers, economists, musicians, chefs, or whatever, but if I suggested that they should build a nuclear reactor or an atmospheric carbon capture device, those skills wouldn't really help much would they? It would help if you could give a bit more background on the range of roles and expertise in the company (presumably you're not able to just name the company).

In the absence of that, I'll mention a quote attributed to Steve Jobs: "It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."

So if you really have smart people, maybe you should let them decide what to do. Start by setting up an internal "idea market" where people can post ideas, comment on them, and self-organize into teams based on their interests and skills. Then watch as the ideas that are the most engaging rise to the top, and put the company's resources behind those.

Idk. If someone said something insane like vaccines cause autism in most kids who take it to troll and some parents believed that.

Who needs to change more here? Seriously, someone who is a parent who has probably gone through formal education or heck at least primary school will know that those statements are insane.
I of course want troll to stop but I don't see how you can just ignore the people who fall for that stuff. It seems we as a society have done something wrong for people to take trolls seriously.

Me, personally, because I don't even have a futures account at a broker that will let me take physical delivery, nor do I have any experience whatsoever renting tank space at the Cushing facility (which I didn't even know existed before today). But I guess the answer to my question seems to be that the cost of storing one contract worth of oil will, unbelievably, be more than $20,000 for the month.

Your comment exemplified the basis of all tyranny. Mindless hyperbolic fear.

> The protestors are advocating for behavior that will literally kill people, including medical personnel.

No they are not. No more than those advocating for the repeal of prohibition advocated for drunk driving.

> The protesters are no different than those who call for deadly riots or civil war.

They are very different. You're mindset is akin to blaming those who protested for civil rights for "deadly riots or civil war". It's amazing how your arguments are so similar to those who wanted to shut down civil rights' protests.

> They deserve to be shut down for jeopardizing public health and safety.

This type of thinking is why constitutional rights are under so much threat. Just an extreme rehash of "Won't you think of the children" fearmongering to take away rights.

I might be in minority, but I think this is great for the clean energy sector and environment. The oil is not being used and thus not being consumed and converted into toxic products (carbon dioxide, and various other vehicle emissions) which are leaked into the environment.

I hope these oil companies dissolve over this unprecedented event.
Sure, there will probably be some correlation. Depends heavily on how the 3x testing is designed.

T1. Drive up saliva swab by nurse, for serology test.

T2. Re-deploy census peeps to get samples (and census info) from entire neighborhoods.

T3. 23andMe-like home kit express mail to lab

The odds of people getting a FP on all three might not be 1 in 1000, but it probably isn't 1 in 10.

Anyway, as it is, leading 1 in 10 people to falsely believe they are immune, isn't much better than having no test at all.

Very little about this feels like the Patriot Act. I also don't really see why the government would want to tank its economy. I mean, I can think of some really out there reasons, but I don't really feel it's worth entertaining given the far more reasonable reason for lock-in during a pandemic.

edit: When I say 'this' I mean enforced lock in, specifically.

Paraphrasing Dr. Birx: "There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem, some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death. The intent is ... if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that."

Paraphrasing mostly, but this is Dr. Birx admitting that the government is overreporting by default. So even if you exclude NYC, it doesn't change my point.

I run my homelab on NUCs as well but no hypervisor. Everything I run is in Docker containers. So the NUCs have CentOS installed and then just containers across the Swarm cluster.

Storage is an NFS mount from my Synology NAS.

The only reason I would really care to have a hypervisor is because then I can do more from Terraform.

I use Terraform to configure my DNS, my Ubiquiti gear, and the Swarm cluster but that leaves a gap where I need to do something to manage the actual CentOS machine. There isn't much to manage (users, SSHd config, SSH keys, packages such as vim, docker, and htop, and then NFS mounts) but the less I have to manage myself the better. Just don't think it's worth adding a whole hypervisor just to pull possibly some of the networking into Terraform.

Anyways, NUCs + Docker Swarm = great win.
Yes it will, this thing is far from over. It will have huge consequences on civilization as we know it. It also demonstrated how weak all our economic systems are.
Serious question: would you make the same argument about censoring anti-vaccination views?

Reopening the country has undeniably turned into a political issue, and one thing we know for certain about Facebook and social media in general is that they are rife with political disinformation. I don't think it's accurate to explain this activity as the speech of "ordinary people" when there seems to be just as much evidence, if not more, that most Americans are concerned about COVID-19, and that these campaigns to organize protests are barely-disguised astroturfing. See also Trump's "LIBERATE $STATE" tweets.

I think Facebook is terrible and should be destroyed, but I must admit they have a very challenging problem on their hands in distinguishing malicious, manipulative speech from ignorant speech, and ignorant speech from speech that goes against the majority opinion but is, in fact, correct. And even if they can classify content correctly most of the time, how should they deal with all those categories and all the shades of grey within them? Do you think they should turn a blind eye to political disinformation? Do you think they should enable the spread of manipulative ignorance, theft of elections, and so on?

Given that some people will disagree with everything they do, and that at the scale of billions of users they will invariably fuck up a lot of individual cases, I think banning astroturfed campaigns to get people out in the streets blocking ambulances and harassing medical personnel during a global pandemic is A-OK. The people propping these things up should be fucking ashamed of themselves, but I know they aren't capable of such things. This activity has nothing in common with good-faith speech questioning the value of these lockdowns.
It's just odd that I constantly hear how horribly Sweden is doing, and not a peep about Switzerland.

How many additional COVID19 deaths would you accept to avoid a crippling economic depression? If the answer is zero, you are not being serious. If the answer is more than zero, then as Churchill noted, we've established what kind of person you are and are now haggling over price.

Personal experience as a class action litigant and as a lawyer in a class action on both sides.

I don't know why one legal professor's book about a class action by an entire nation involving a weapon of war is relevant to a discussion of wholly civil class actions.

Of course a class action is inefficient for addressing the injuries of war; that should be addressed by diplomacy.

They do. That one book is really about one country trying to sue another country for the use of military weapons against enemy combatants that knowingly and deliberately used civilian populations as human shields.

I was referring to their attempt to tip the apple cart. Not create a new world. Nowhere in this thread has anybody come close to proposing this as a net good, or even really what the world would look like after such an acceleration. My comment was strictly observational in nature.

I'll grant that I could have done better in clarifying that.

However, even in the event that I was attempting to advocate on behalf of an accelerationist mindset, there was no need for you to respond combatively, or condescendingly cut off some weak (albeit common) argument that you've wargamed out in your head.

Believe it or not, not everybody's as stupid or predictable as you seem to think they are, and you should ask someone for details before you decide what they think for them.
I've worked remotely for the past 3.5 years. As one of two employees at a small statup, at a startup that started remote friendly and then revoked it, and now at a startup that is moving towards being remote equal (25% and rising).

Not that long compared to others here, but long enough to have seen things that work and seen things that don't work, and with sufficiently varied approaches. I think there's reasons why this will work, but I also wonder if they would have screened the startups slightly differently if they knew they were going to do the whole batch remotely. Working in an all remote environment require different communication skills than working in an office.

I also wonder how easy it'll be for founders to put in 16+ hour days while working from home. It's easy to 'stay late at the office', but I think it is harder to contain myself in my office while doing that. Maybe that's just a me thing, but I think it can be a real issue... I wonder if founders will simply hole up in the same living space somehow during quarantine; I could see that working, that's basically I've seen friends who've been in YC do anyway. It just might be harder to do in this environment.
There's lots of empty oil fields out there though. Many of them could hopefully be refilled just using gravity?
