I do not believe the poster said that, it is more that, in the style they quoted it, the article says `p -> q`, where q = we are racist and q = we did not build this system.

They never claim there is not racism in the United States, only that they do not agree that is why the system was built.
This question really needs to be answered in pragmatic and illustrative terms.
The choice is not between "completely useless" and "100% effective". That is false dichotomy. Things like masks can be 70% effective which is already making situation better, although not perfect.

I will rephrase you:

> If people are going not to wear masks we need to make sure that they don't touch their face or that they wash their hands immediately after being in contact with anything anything would be in contact too.

Same thing, the washing hands and keeping distance is stuff you are supposed to whether you wear mask or not. Mask is not putting you into additional danger as far as I know. We don't need to put special additional conditions on masks wearing.
Pretty confusing that the first tweet starts with 2018, should be 1918 I guess. Man I hate platforms that don't allow editing ones sentences, like Whatsapp. So often I find mistake, very often the last word that was autocorrected between the time I typed it and hit enter and couldn't stop my finger from going down on that send key anymore.
I always wonder at the madness of elevator design. Most of them "ping" as they pass a floor for accessibility. But that means the blind rider must first know the floor he is on, then count the pings to the right floor.

It should simply announce each floor as it passes. I know from experience that you can make quite comprehensible voice sounds by connecting a 5V I/O pin to a speaker, so there is no excuse. (All you do is digitize the speech, then turn the pin on and off as the wave crosses 0.)

Ditto for every device that comes with a chart saying which LED blink pattern means what status. Like the "fast blink" and "slow blink". The LED is blinking, is that "fast" or "slow"?
The Big Short covers it fairly well, but doesn't give Burry enough credit / blame. His crowning achievement wasn't in deducing the bonds were overvalued/fraudulent, it was in finding suckers to take the other side of the bet. This is alluded to in the casino with the Cornwall Capital guys, but was a real thing. Plenty of people wanted to make the moves they did, but had trouble finding outs.

Thanks for the suggestion! The current name is not the final one:)
First breath and regain some calm! As a parent we feel issues with sleeping, eating, behavior, etc will always last, but in reality most won't last. You're doing a permanent experiment on what's working and what's isn't, while the subject constantly change: it's really hard!

Eating in front of TV is bad for nutrition in general and especially bad for the kids, as multiple studies prove: almost no TV before 6 is a good rule of thumb.

As others comments are hinting, kids know how to regulate themselves regarding food intake, and no kid will let themselves starve, so you can offer a plate with the main course and a small dessert, your kid will eat the main course when she is hungry.
Also we found that allowing them to come and go out of table was hard on our sense of properness but helped our kids to eat the complete dish. After a few months, there were able to stay at table for the duration.
We also found out that industrial food for children is disgusting, and that nothing beats homemade to open the appetite!

Feeling (and being) overwhelmed is normal, if possible go see a professional to reassure you.

Awesome to see this on the front page! I’ve been chatting with the OP for a few days and this is based on a Node.js PoC I wrote for a blog post on the state of broadcasting live from a browser[1].

This is, IMO, the simplest way to be able to go from a modern browser to an RTMP endpoint. You could try and do server-side WebRTC using a project like Pions[2], or use headless Chrome and be a peer, but both of those come with their own headaches. This just uses the MediaRecorder API to send chunks of video as it’s available via a WebSocket, then the server pipes those messages into FFmpeg via stdin. It’s lightweight enough that it even runs incredibly well on Glitch[3].

Also, if you’re curious, the videos that come out of the MediaRecorder are all over the place between browsers, but they’re all varying degrees of “barely qualifying as playable video”. Incredibly fun to play with, but you will absolutely need to encode any output from it.

The most common meaning of "racism" in conversation is "acting based on the race of some person / group of people".

Immigration policies can (should) be discussed without taking into account people's race, and still lead to racially-biased outcomes, simply because the majority of immigration-seekers have a race that's different from the majority of people in the target country.
We were the final frontier all along.
Some people say it's becoming impossible to get bored now. I'm trying not to follow my reflex of going to HN/Reddit/YT every time I feel even slightly bored but it's too easy. Eating breakfast - HN, going to sleep - YT, tj book is a bit boring - reddit. I'm 19 and although I didn't spend my childhood with a tablet, I've had a smartphone since I was 13 or so. I have no comparation but I think some part of me "went numb" because every time I feel a need of doing something I feed it with too many engaging but meaningless stories and the possibility of motivation just goes away. And since my phone is always with me it's like a permanent state. I just don't know anymore what it is like not to know what to do and suddenly feel motivated to do something. Instead I have to force myself to read that Haskell book I wanted to read for 2 months despite the fact that I just love (or had loved?) learning new things.
wholesome story! :)
Most of these problems can be curbed by pproper oversight and exception handling, however i also find that techniques based on empathy and trust tend to help longterm.
Also this is like shorting TSLA. Yeah, no kidding, a lot of people think it is going to zero. The short pressure is massive, which causes huge bid-ask spreads in the put options, which makes it hard for you to get a price that might make sense based on your evaluations.

It's not enough to just be directionally right and even timed correctly - you have to get a good price, too.

I hadn't heard about the paper-based phone number sharing approach in Taiwan - do you have a link where I could find out more about that, out of interest?

Perhaps similar or related, I'd read that Taiwan's using an alert system[1] that uses the absence of cell phone activity as a sign that it may be necessary to check on the owner.

What constitute “shipping” exactly? “Just ship more” is as ambiguous as “be a better driver”. It doesn’t tell you much about the quality of code, amount of tech debt they’re creating while shipping frantically and generally not taking the time for careful design. Software should be designed like they do mechanical engineering - you get a few prototyping shots at it but it’s expensive to iterate too many times - prototypes cost a few thousand dollars depending on the complicity of whatever you’re designing. So spend the energy and focus into designing robust code that isn’t gonna fall apart in 6 months. Stop chasing after “shipping” madness. Instead of shipping, perhaps ask for a solid chunk of the equity. Don’t do cheap labor for small startups unless you’re handsomely paid for the appropriate risk involved in your career.
Very few companies want employees who think they're as good as Linus. No companies should want that, but they gotta learn the hard way...
> I grew up in a high pressure environment, where a lot is expected from you.

Same, and university and career too... I wrestle with the same problems.

Basically, I think it's reasonable to give up if you don't enjoy working on the problem or can't find satisfaction in it.

If externally motivated it's harder. Here you'll want to focus on techniques to force yourself to do things.

Otherwise check in with yourself regularly about what you want and why you're doing things. If you get alignment with your work then things come easy.
> Technologies shouldn't be adopted simply because they're new or being pushed by vendors. Heck, Apple doesn't even have any 5G phones because 5G may not survive once the major carriers wise-up.

I’m pretty sure the next generation of Apple phones (iPhone 12?) will be 5G compatible, when the current generation came out 5G was barely deployed (still isn’t in a lot of places).
So that’s more a matter of timing than Apple not believing in the technology.

> I wanted to build Tip for Ubuntu as well but I couldnt find a good mechanism.

The selected text would already be on the 'PRIMARY' uh.. clipboard (I hesitate because that's not the 'CLIPBOARD' one and I'm not sure of the genetic term). I would then use dmenu (or equivalent, e.g. rofi) to show the options generated by the script running on the selection.

That wouldn't be a tooltip, (unless there are dmenu-like programs that can be configured to appear at the pointer, I'm not sure) but is probably how most Linux users would expect/want it to appear.

To be honest though, since the target user is already supplying the script to generate it, I think you've given the value you can in the idea, and they're best placed to know how to integrate it into their existing tools most effectively.

For example, using i3 & dmenu:

bindsym <shortcut keys> exec xsel | thescript.sh | dmenu

If the user's writing the script anyway, they can write that, and the details vary according to the window manager (or other tool used to bind keys) and the dmenu-like used to display them. Some may also prefer a different/better integration with their clipboard manager.

My basic point is that Linux systems are too 'fragmented' and this is too easy for you to a better job once for everybody than they can each do once for themselves.

It's a great idea though, I'm certainly going to bear it in mind and see what I do that could benefit from it, thanks!
Building a Smart Mirror – Part 2
My company does this, but our pay is somewhat under market rate - our developers make not much compared to what is bandied about here. But then again, I run a company in a desirable field, the rules are pretty lax, and we invest a ton of money in employees.

You might find the inverse relationship, unfortunately. High salaries often come with high expectations and low time to develop employees because of your high salary. That's been my experience, and I've worked for a fair number of large and small tech firms.

Hi Jugurtha, thank you very much for your answer.

But tell me something please, once you have a product and some users/clients, why don't you use more Social Media? To grow your brand loyalty and business growth? Social Media is pretty cheap.

What I see is that:
1 - most technical founders don't really like social media
2 - they rather prefer tech blogs, changelogs, subreddits, HK news, etc
3 - it is to hard to create content and to manage social media profiles
4 - most technical founders can't see any value on having good social media and feel it may be a waste of time
5 - once they don't quite understand social media enough, and to do so they should invest lots of time, they prefer to simply ignore it and leave it for another time

Am I right in any of my assumptions?

> “Obviously the coronavirus is making people realize how vulnerable we all are, but what people are really concerned about is the aftermath,” said Vicino, the Vivos founder, who believes the wealthy fear an economic collapse or global depression could lead to uprisings against the top 1%. “They don't want to have to defend their homes when the gangs of looters or marauders show up.”

Apparently some wealthy people view the coronavirus pandemic as "The Event" they have been preparing for. From this[1] article:

> I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech ... to deliver some insight on the subject of “the future of technology” ... my audience ... five super-wealthy guys ... from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. ... They had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology. They had come with questions of their own.

> [After a few innocent questions], the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?”

> The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr. Robot hack that takes everything down.

> This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers - if that technology could be developed in time.

I doubt regular folks can reach 5x or even 2x with good retention. Perhaps if it's a podcast of people chatting about random things, it's possible, but any intellectually stimulating content you probably will have problems.

Only one country has successfully gotten to linear growth without lockdown. South Korea. [1] [2] [3]

Every other place has had exponential growth, that goes linear a week or two after lockdown is in place.

That's more than enough evidence for me. We know that lockdown works. We know that wishful thinking doesn't. All we can do is tweak the parameters of what lockdown looks like.

[1] Except it does have a lockdown! Whoops! It banned gatherings, shut down parks, closed borders, closed daycares, schools, sporting events, closed public spaces, etc, etc, etc. It's a lockdown by another name.

[2] Sweeden also closed its borders, and banned large gatherings. It didn't do most of the other things. It's currently in the exponential growth stage.

[3] Singapore is also on an exponential trajectory. Which is why it is also shutting down.

I switched to Dvorak in the early 2000's and typing qwerty on a keyboard is totally alien to me now.

However, any attempt at using Dvorak on a touch screen keyboard has failed as I can't rely on my muscle memory.

I found that for touch screen input I preferred using qwerty since I have a better feel about where keys are to hunt and peck. Funnily when typing dvorak, my fingers knows where the keys are but I don't have a good conscious mental map of the layout.

Maybe it's due to the fact that you have to touch type dvorak without any visual help since most users use regular qwerty layout keyboards.

Sigma sells cocaine, heroin, and LSD, for example, nevermind precursors. They won't sell them to you, but they will sell them to organizations with the correct permissions to buy them. Regulatory compliance might add to the cost, but for a company like Sigma I'd expect doing things in-house to lower costs not raise them.
It's not 1945. First of all, we had Bretton Woods agreement in 1944 establishing dollar as world reserve currency backed by gold. That of course, went away by 1971 and modern dollar is fiat and susceptible to poor monetary policy. We had 50% of world economy coming out of WWII as we were the only major country not buried in ashes. We had a birth boom (the boomers now retiring). We had tons of assets to still borrow against and we weren't overlevereged on everything from housing to education to corporate assets, etc. We had tons of technological and economical expansion left to experience, like interstate highways, jet travel, spread of electricity, computing, world trade, integration of women in work force, etc.

It's 2020. We don't have the deck stacked in our favor like we did in 1945. We've got massive obligations and a populace that's becoming increasingly demanding of bailouts, loan forgiveness, UBI, etc which are all untenable given that our existing social programs are already approaching insolvency. The government is on pace to spend half or more of GDP this year alone. Its not clear this spending will actually stimulate economy in the same way building interstate highways, airports, nuclear power, etc. in the 50s did.
Why are all the screenshots on this page from 2007, and use 10.5 Leopard, if the browser doesn’t even support it anymore?

Oh, because the actual user interface did not change since then. A print button? The entire browser chrome over two times as large as Safari’s or Firefox’s? I don’t see the point in using iCab in 2020, let alone paying $10 for it.
The strategy isn't even that different from e.g. Germany or Austria (I use these countries because I've been following them more closely).

Yes Germany and Austria closed more shops at the beginning to stop exponential growth. Now they start to slowly open stores again with the goal to not overwhelm the health care system.

I think almost no country tries to go for zero infections, only to spread the infections out over a longer period. No infections would also seems a bit unrealistic for most countries.
I can’t speak to physical blindness, but I have aphantasia[0] which basically means I cannot voluntarily invoke my minds eye. Up until I found out about it last year, I thought that “visualizing” things was a metaphor for thinking, as I didn’t realize people could actually see things without looking at them.

There are varying degrees of aphantasia. For context, I am completely unable to “see” anything in my mind. I do not dream either. If I close my eyes and think of something, nothing happens visually, though I can more easily remember things about whatever it is. I would describe it more as complete emptiness, instead of darkness (as darkness implies there is something there at all). I have been like this since I was born.

One thing that stood out to me in GPs comment was that programmers tend to visualize code to reason about it. I asked a bunch of my friends after finding out my minds eye is blind and they all said they do it at least sometimes, some of them do it constantly.

I obviously don’t, but I can say that I have a very good memory (in general, but also for code), and often find myself capable of context switching between related bits of code faster than many of my peers. I rarely reach for a diagram for explanation, however I do use them very regularly for documentation and explaining designs because I find other people seem to be able to process that format better.

I don’t know if my aphantasia contributes to any of this, these are just things I’ve noticed I’m good at. One thing I am terrible at, however, is design.

My last cat was an outside cat and was never stolen, only attacked once by another cat, got lost once (found by a kind stranger who rang the number on his collar), was never run over despite his habit of sunning himself in the middle of public car parking spaces (people used to wait for him to get out of the way), eventually got a bit plump when he stopped hunting as he got older and finally died aged sixteen.

So, who's anecdote is worth more? Or should we just agree that not all cats are alike, not all environments are alike
