Well, AFAIK, expert opinions were divided: many doctors were against border closing, saying that it will cause more people to enter illegally and hide, and then we'll have a harder time tracking them. (It's just a short boat ride across the Yellow Sea from China: you can't block the entire coastline.)

We may argue which side was right in retrospect, but it's not like Moon ignored the expert consensus.

Besides, Korean Medical Association is not exactly a neutral expert organization. The current head of KMA is this guy here [1], with pickets reading "Impeachment is void!

[edited for typos/grammar] The US was going to top up the strategic reserves, but that was stopped in congress. Seems like an ideal time to make that happen with such low prices. Irregardless of environmental concerns, nobody is at a point where they are not dependent on oil and a supply disruption that this is designed to address currently would have dire consequences without it. IE: food shortages etc..

I took the family on the Carnival Triumph years ago for a first-time cruise. It was okay and we had fun - but we had nothing to compare it to. A few years later we went on a Disney Cruise... we won't be going on Carnival ever again.

We also noted that the Triumph was the ship that a few years ago had that engine fire that disabled power and left them adrift for days with toilets overflowing into cabins and no hot food available.

Carnival cruises are cheap, but the risk of suffering a trip disaster - possibly with health consequences - is just not worth it.

We are in very similar shoes. I get freaked out by administration and bureaucracy. I haven't submitted my taxes for years now. I stalled credit card payments and abandoned companies, never collected payments for my contracting jobs I've finished...

Work is not a problem for me either, I do what needs to be done, but not much more.

I also had negative cycles that eventually lead to my GF dumping me.

For me, the solution was fairly simple, to work on myself seriously. I found a therapist and started working out and now I feel I'm becoming a better version of myself. This is fairly recent, all this change happened in January.

Now we are seeing each other again with my ex and I'm making sounds plans to own a home and do something realistic with my life.

Keep it up, you are not alone!

Parenting isn't for everyone so I don't judge.

But for me it happened to be most amazing thing in my life so far.

Clearly, the posted article is not very serious, the list of cons seem very shallow as compared to the deep lifelong joys that may come of parenthood.

My first child was unplanned and unwanted by me anyway. Having a child in college was definitely not part of my Grand Plan. I wasn't on speaking terms with his mom but thankfully she still invited me to his birth. As soon as I saw his bloody little head my life changed for the better forever. Then I went home to get some sleep before a calculus final.

Now, thirty years later, with only one daughter remaining in college, my wife and I have plenty of time and money to enjoy our freedom. Though not a second goes by that I don't miss my babies.
> It would make more sense to have a separate electrolyzer.

A separate electrolyser and hydrogen storage at the household level just to fill up your car? It's doubtful that will make financial sense anytime in the near future, vs a plug.

> It specifically refers to $2.50-6.80.

You quoted $2-3 - in whole dollars - which are undoubtedly rounded figured themselves. How else would express $2.50-6.80 in whole dollars than $3-7?

> But we are massively building out renewables.

Not nearly enough to power ground transportation on green hydrogen, which was the point of the article I linked. On top of that, the tank-to-wheels efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is 1/2 that of BEVs, which implies double the renewable electricity needed for green hydrogen vs directly using electricity in BEVs. It's better to keep ground transport as efficient as possible by using BEVs, and use the remaining electricity to synthesize fuels for applications like aviation that don't lend themselves to batteries due to weight constraints.

> A single cavern can store 150,000 MWh of energy, and one formation in Utah can contain 100 caverns.

There's a lot of "can" in that, similar to initiatives pushing carbon-capture from coal plants. I applaud it if it eventually works, but that article is a paid marketing release (note the "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries BRANDVOICE| Paid Program" at the top).

> This is not a race. Fuel cell technology will still advance regardless of what happens of battery powered cars

It is a race to which tech has a market viable product for cleanly fueled road transportation. Battery tech isn't sitting still either, especially on the rapid charging and range front. It's totally possible that hydrogen tech will come through with a series of breakthroughs that mitigate its current issues with cost, lack of distribution infra, but projections like the one in the article I shared put that out 10-20 years, and predicting anything past 10 years is a crapshoot anyways.

> If it were a race, ICEVs are way ahead and neither BEVs nor FCEVs are anywhere close to winning.

It's a race for the transportation tech of the future. Obviously ICEs are the majority of vehicles now, but that's hardly interesting to the debate about FCEVs vs BEVs, except in the matter of how much the gap between either of the new technologies and ICEs closes on the consumer price level.
However, I just checked—Alfred does pollute the clipboard with the selection when invoked like that. I guess OSX doesn't have an API to fetch the selection, other than via the services or the clipboard (maybe it's for the better, in terms of security).

IIRC some version of Keepass cleared passwords from the clipboard in such a way that even clipboard-history apps obeyed—but can't remember if this was in OSX or Linux. I wonder if this method could be used to pop the previous content back on the clipboard and leave no trace of the selection in the history.
J.D. Scholten on Coronavirus in Iowa
The first week of quarantine we built a “catio” as we’d wanted one for a long while. Great family project as I got to teach the kids the basics of construction. Basically a large, three-tired chicken coop style structure the cats can access via a window. Cats as definitely happier to have the outdoor time. We have also used a cat stroller in the past (we aren’t crazy cat people, honestly ;-)) but this is a better solution so the cats can choose how much time to spend outside.

Seriously! Should every Gatsby blog post on HN have this useless 'React is overkill for static sites' talk?

Gatsby is a static site generator!

Running Gatsby does NOT make the whole website run on React.
It makes a bunch of HTML pages that are statically served - and some JS progressively enhances it.

The complexity in this blog post has nothing to do with React, it's due to the author's complex requirements that are very beneficial to the user.

Yes, the web is full of bloated pages. No, that's not the topic here. It's so frustrating for people to complain about React on this great post - comment about the post, people!
It’s not that there’s no storage capacity left, it’s that if you have May contracts you are going to pay a big premium to store oil in Cushing as capacity decreases in future months. The discount reflects the storage cost premium.
Acted in extremely unethical ways? Definitely. Broken any actual laws that are prosecutable? Unlikely.
Show HN: Isaset – Play the puzzle card game Set in realtime with others or alone
Hi HN! My friends like to play the card game Set with others, but because of the quarantine it is more difficult to play together, so I worked on this web version with a friend.

The game is a bit difficult to explain and best learned through trial and error. The goal is to form sets of three cards where each of the features shape, fill, number, and color are all unique or all the same. AAA and ABC are good, ABB is not. Each feature is independent from the others. I struggle explaining this quickly to others and communicating it through text, so if you have ideas on how to improve the onboarding experience, please let me know!

If you have any comments or suggestions, please share.
If you haven't already looked into it, your state probably has some kind of "services for the blind". I have RP and was able to get help from them. Definitely look to see if your state has a govt dept like that. They offer tools and training to those in need to get jobs or keep working.
Hey, I'd be willing to share my jumbo podcast list with you, if that is a resource you'd like on the site. I tend to not delete any podcast that piqued my interest initially. If it turns out not to be to my taste ultimately, I toss it into an "uninteresting" playlist. This way, I'm not reevaluating podcasts at some point in the future that I've already pushed aside. Right now, I'm at 400+ podcasts, with about 30% having graduated to a "follow this indefinitely" status.

What I don’t understand is why it’s so much more in CA. It can’t just be taxes; it’s only 0.47c [1]. So why is it often $1-2 more?

Dividends are generally taxed at the long-term capital gains rate, not as ordinary income.

Why wouldn't you expect them to ask for free money? It doesn't cost them anything. They didn't receive the bailouts for the reasons you mentioned.

To accomplish that, they only need to deposit money into people’s bank account. No employer middleman is required.

That statement was true of every past search engine, too. AltaVista must have been great and its severe limitations must not have affected revenue, or else they surely would have improved it.

Sorry to miss it, but how does this answer my question?

I asked why they weren't prepared on Friday. Storage has been expensive and getting more expensive for weeks. We've been in a massive contango for weeks. Why weren't they prepared on Friday for physical delivery?
They want to always return results even when they don't have any. So they will remove some of your query. This last week Google even returned months old results when I asked for the last 24 hours. It's so frustrating. I wish the Google team that decided this nonsense have to migrate Python 2 to Python 3 projects until they retire.

Ask HN: How do you read books like 'Clean Architecture' or 'Clean Code'?
I have poor memory retention so unless I'm working through exercises in a book it's difficult for me to commit to memory good practices. How do you read books like Clean Architecture and apply those practices in your daily life? Are there just a few major points that are hammered home a bunch of times making it easier to remember, or do you find yourself referencing the books often? Or do you just have an excellent memory and recall information as it becomes relevant in your development?
Along these lines, I once heard somewhere that people do not process the word 'dont'. As a coach, I've had to shift my vocabulary to focus on the 'do's rather than the 'dont's

Eg: If you're doing a sport where leaning forward is bad, avoid telling yourself 'dont lean forward' as your mind only hears 'lean forward', therefore reinforcing the thing you're trying to avoid. Alternatively, tell yourself 'lean back' or 'stay straight' or whatever you're focusing on for that maneuver or drill.
This is tone-policing; if "pathetic" is not appropriate here, then it's not appropriate in the (great-grand)parent's post, either.

But I will unpack exactly what I meant. "pathetic" is literal, and used in the same sense that the parent used it; it connotes that their comment evokes pathos, and lacks ethos, logos, or bathos. A "sad-sack" is somebody who ruins the tone or vibe of a conversation with their attitude, usually by making people feel uncomfortable and sad. A "snowflake" is somebody who cannot stand being criticized, and erupts in anger whenever confronted with evidence which contradicts their beliefs.

"part of the problem" is an old rhetorical idea relating to good-faith argumentation; the idea is that if somebody repeatedly admits to all of the premises but not the conclusion, over and over, then eventually we must conclude that they are refusing to engage with the argument in good faith. "fix yourself" is pretty direct; I want the parent to read the links that I provided and reconsider their beliefs, and optionally to then re-read the original linked article and commentary and see if they come to a better understanding.
Tell HN: Most Programmers Are Terrible
Most programmers are terrible. Especially the "elite" programmers.

How do I know this? Well like all of you other programmers I have been programming for n professional years + since I was a teenager if n isn't large enough.

You people keep creating new things instead of fixing old things so we have a shipwreck of broken tools scattered across decades.

I recently used winforms for a quick little project. What a stupid decision. Everything is broke. 90% of my time is spent working around bugs and unacceptable limitations.

But we know there are a lot more problems. My biggest pet peeve these days is the "elite" engineers who work at "FANG" corporations, lololololol who are supposedly better than me at programming yet churn out nothing but garbage.

I am eagerly awaiting the day when this mountain of bullshit you people have built collapses under you.

It’s not full, it’s just getting closer to being full if demand remains low. The discount reflects a premium on storing unused oil at Cushing
IIRC if you use quotation marks in your search query, it would search for the exact match of that phrase without any search operators processed inside of it. So those scenarios you listed would still work fine.

Though I somewhat agree, I don't think that an average user even knows about existence of search operators in the first place, let alone being aware of this specific one and when to use it.
Star Chess 2.1 for Swing Released
“ The upcoming May contract’s expiry means traders are shifting their positions to June as they try to avoid taking deliveries of cargoes because of the lack of space to store them. That has opened up an unprecedented discount of more than $10 between the two nearest contracts.

This situation—in which the price of the June contract is far above that of the May one—apparently delights in the name “super contango.” People put a price on oil—they think it has value and want to own it at that value—but they also put a price on not having it now, and the latter price is quite high relative to the former. Conceivably, in theory, the latter price (what you’d pay to not have oil now) could exceed the former (what you’d pay to have oil eventually), leading to negative spot prices. We’re getting there:

There are signs of weakness everywhere. Buyers in Texas are offering as little as $2 a barrel for some oil streams, raising the possibility that producers may soon have to pay to have crude taken off their hands.

In ordinary economics, things do not have negative prices: If nobody wants a thing, if you’d have to pay them to take the thing, you just don’t make it. Oil is a little weird—it is hard to shut in and then restart an oil well, and there are all sorts of weird cartels and game theory involved in oil pricing and production—but the other thing going on here is that a global pandemic is pretty weird for commodity prices. The price of oil is not approaching zero because nobody needs oil; you can look into the future—or at futures prices—and see that, in fact, there is demand for oil. But right now, with the world economy closed, people need much less oil than they’ve got. If you have a thing that lots of people want, but that no one wants right now, it is hard to put a normal price on it.” today’s money stuff newsletter by Matt Levine

Search engines are indexing content based on [edit]STATIC [/edit] keywords, though.

The author's intent exceeds both the capabilities and intended use case of search engines.

The query "shirts without stripes" if interpreted by human would require any search system to not only analyse the keywords and tags (of the products/images), but also the content, which is an infeasible task given its dynamic nature.

So the author wants: select all shirts where content analysis of returned images yields no stripes.

This is a context-sensitive image/product search based on arbitrary, dynamically created criteria and shows that user isn't aware of what the search functionality does as opposed to exposing weak "AI". [edit]To clarify: you cannot add all possible keywords/criteria in advance[/edit]
