I work remote and I've had years of working this out. What works really well for me is to take a super laid back posture to the meeting. Just fancy free. Speak relaxed and slowly almost like you'd expect The Dude Lebowski to. Nobody's gonna talk over you. Your point will be heard. And any details can always be caught in an email or DM later.

If I had to guess why, I think speaking slower and more chill hides away latency effects, and subconsciously causes people to listen more carefully. The cadence of speech also makes it more clear when you're about to say more vs. When you're done talking. It also just relaxes you and gives you more time to formulate the next string of words.

And I don't mean sound like an idiot stoner or offensive jerk. You're just on a beach. Phoned in to be a subject matter expert. And once you've done your part it's back to your book and Margarita. Just noodly relaxed body. Yeah that's it.
I've never seen anyone be consistent in their kneejerk cries of "but free speech!" They still want moderation, banning, and silencing, especially of their critics. They want ideas removed from the spotlight they don't agree with. They say that the moderation that every platform needs to thrive is a "slippery slope" while already sliding down it

Huh? The Wikipedia article you linked says the US voted "No" on Resolution 2758. I don't see how you can claim the US did the kicking by opposing the resolution that did the kicking.

That article also states that before that vote...

Clickbait title. The author isn’t saying “lockdowns don’t work“, he is hypothesising that other measures are enough. He bases this on the fact that deaths start dropping 15 days after lockdown when they should only reasonably be expected to start dropping 21 days after lockdown.

Inane argument:

1. many days before a country goes into lockdown, things are bad and people are volunteerily going into lockdown.

2. He would need to wait for more than say 30 days after lockdown to see if lockdown did affect death rate. Especially if the tallying of deaths has many days of lag before numbers get recorded to their real values.

3. He assumes deaths are a wall at 21 days, instead of thinking there could be a spread starting at less than 21 days.

4. When a health system is under stress, perhaps people die quicker than his assumption of 21 days.

Generally a poor article, needs more time and data before he can make even a little sense of the data. Another economist looking at cherry picked data and jumping to conclusions from it.

A revenue neutral tax still lets the government do new stupid things. eg, they can choose winners and losers by taxing industries at different rates. And once we have a tax, we have it forever.

CO2 pollution is unique because the damage to private property hasn’t “happened” yet. But waiting for it to “happen” is waiting too long. If a factory dumps toxic waste in my field, I’ll sue for destroying my soil and crops. If a factory’s air pollutant gives me lung cancer, I’ll sue for assault. CO2 emitting factories hypothetically cause coastal asset depreciation, but what do the courts think?
You are missing the point entirely; the point is that WHO as an International HEALTH organization shouldn't take sides in geopolitical issues.

Bringing the behavior of US-- a sovereign state-- into the discussion is completely inappropriate.

I came back from CES to home in Eugene, OR, and fell ill. I missed 10 days of work. I am an anesthesiologist, and I knew that I have a viral illness (high fever, myalgias, SOB, etc). At the time I tested negative for influenza. Interestingly, I've been in a quarantine for a month. And I wore N95 for two weeks prior to the quarantine, because of my super paranoid wife. So if I can get tested for antibodies, it will be almost certainly CES, if I am positive.

But it's not just, say, taking a bunch of faulty studies and average them and saying voila. They are in agreement. They'd have to be bad in similar ways in order to converge like that.

Another factor to consider is that healthcare today is much better than when the Spanish flu occurred and that could explain the 2x difference.
I worked on a project once that would have had that effect, if it had been successful. But it depended on the assistance of the people doing things manually, who were overseas. It seemed to me their self-preservation depended on communication problems sinking the project. So I had this feeling it was doomed from the beginning being entirely predicated on conflicts of interest.

Anyway, I later developed the hypothesis that one counterbalance to lower productivity in the government is that when people essentially cannot be fired, they are less likely to resist automation and efficiency. There may be more "dead weight" but it's not actively fighting the people who are improving things as much as in the private sector. Laziness cuts both ways. I'm interesting in why anyone might think this is clearly incorrect.

I’m a resident of SF downtown and previously DC and Boston. Everyone I know has stopped leaving their apartments/condos except for fresh air and are trying not to go to any stores. When possible are having food delivered. My friends in NYC have all left except for one who has a large apartment and no family without taking a flight.

I think people see these studies of places they visited once and determine that those areas are way more dense and that they have seen the news and that all those deaths are due to tons of people having it.

That is just not true. The studies are biased and likely this will go on for a long-time. We know this is way more deadly than the flu. That is obvious when you look at simple examples like the princess cruise in Japan. How often do 7+ people die on a cruise ship on a single voyage?

Firstly, I wasn't writing the comment specifically about PowerShell - it was just a rant about the structured shells.

> That is unlikely to happen in PowerShell because the structured data is .Net objects.

Isn't that an implementation detail?

> You aren't going to do that from a native command running in a separate process returning data through stdout without serializing it - and then you're back to convertfrom-json as far as it matters.

Not having to write 'convertfrom-json' IMHO is a big improvement. 'ls[0..3]' is much more convenient than 'ls | from-json[0..3]'. (Imaginary syntax, BTW.)

> For PowerShell to succeed, Microsoft should rewrite all the GNU coreutils?

I wasn't really talking about PowerShell either, but well, yes I do think that for PowerShell to succeed there should be support for native PowerShell in 'ls', 'find', 'grep', etc...

> You reckon anyone is going to want unilaterally rewritten coreutils? From Microsoft?

It doesn't to be 'rewritten', it just have to gain support. I don't think that a set of patches that adds a new output format will be that problematic. And, one doesn't have to use PowerShell support if one isn't using PowerShell.

> Microsoft should stop on their development of a completely new tool and hobble themselves to the constraints of the stuff they're trying to replace, controlled by people they're in competition with? Unlikely fantasy world.

Er... you know - nobody said that one should replace your bash with Powershell. If you decide that the 30-year-old-unable-to-handle-spaces-in-filenames-by-default script language is fine for you, then you can keep using bash. They're not EEEing...

BTW, checkout elvish shell, since it's not from MS and it has some good ideas. You might like it if you're just hating PowerShell b.c. it's from Microsoft.

The topics of judgement you mentioned are all entirely subjective, but they run near identically for me.
That seems like a distinction without a difference. Yes, Safeway owns inventory of branded merchandise that's on their shelves, but in modern retail, they probably don't own more than a couple of weeks of inventory. And, in modern retail, it's highly likely that branded vendors (like Coke and Pepsi) have very complex relationships with retailers that include co-op fees for marketing, premiums paid for end-cap placement and special displays, and bonuses for hitting certain volumes.

> responded to all of these with a call for a global travel ban

No. There is no call for a "global travel ban". Are you deliberately misunderstanding what I am saying?

The call is (or better, it was, now is too late) for a restriction of mobility in the place of an outbreak, until they either "fizzle out" or are controlled/understood/resolved by development of treatment and/or vaccine.

If an outbreak is likely to "fizzle out", then the restriction will be for a short time and localized to the source and chances of spreading around the globe is reduced. And in case the outbreak is highly contagious like this one, an early and swift restriction would prevent the pandemic in the first place, or at the very least slow down things as much as possible to avoid exponential explosion of cases.

THAT IS THE KEY POINT! The WHO should be asking for an early local lockdown so that we wouldn't have to act later in a global one.

If the goal is to stop deaths and prevent economic damage, then what is the alternative to testing (both for antibodies and for active presence of the virus), assuming that testing everyone in the US multiple times in the near term is not possible? Without testing a lot of people will not willingly return to work, which is already hurting the economy. Without testing we don't know the new places where the virus is spreading until a week or two later, so reactionary measures like contact tracing don't work as well. Total lockdown reduces deaths, but destroys the economy and reduces the scope of life.

Maybe we need to use the tools we already have, such as flu surveillance and data from hospitals, to detect excess non-flu infections. We seem to be able to do flu tests, are they more scalable so that at least flu can be ruled out in many cases?

If widespread testing can not happen because we can't build factories to make reagents/swabs/tubes/PCR array machines/etc. fast enough, we need to start thinking of alternatives. We don't actually seem to understand yet how the virus spreads, too many clinicians trained in handling infectious disease are getting sick despite PPE. If the new small antibody test results are right, then the virus is spreading much faster than can be accounted for via droplet spread as the main mechanism; we may have to consider birds, mosquitoes, surfaces, skin touching, and other methods as possible common spreading mechanisms. If we understood transmission better then it might be possible to tell people how to truly protect themselves, and then they could go back to work. So understanding transmission better is something that could be used in addition to whatever testing is available in order to prevent deaths and economic damage. But people may not follow the new rules based on that understanding, so get the social scientists involved to get the message across. Get OSHA involved to set best practices for workplaces. It seems like there is probably a lot that can be done, even without testing, and at present we may have to assume testing will not be sufficient in the near term (3-6 months).

But someone has to start thinking about these things and doing them, and I'm not seeing any evidence of this in the news. Given that contact tracing is not already ramping up (I've seen only Massachusetts as having a plan to scale it up but I tend to only see East Coast news) I have to wonder if anyone is even thinking about alternatives to testing if testing at scale is not possible.
Recently an apple truck turned over, and so the wrecking company ended up selling damaged 50lb boxes of apples for $10. I bought a couple and was disappointed to learn they were red delicious. But they turned out to actually be really good. First time I remember ever liking a red delicious.
Facebook is a communications tool. It does not incite violence by anyone or against anyone else any more or less than any comparable communications tool. That violent people use it is not an issue with Facebook or reason to censor it, any more than the fact that violent people using cellphones is a reason to tap every cellphone.

The alternative to censorship is... not censoring.
I think that HN readers trend rationalist and see the problem as one of presenting evidence. I respectfully disagree and present a different perspective, one which premises that objectivity is futile and that information is social/tribal.

There is truth and then there is information. I think that people can know only information — projections of truth we think to be truthful. Information must be stored as memory and thereby is rendered organic and messy.

I argue that information is socially constructed. Given the overwhelming complexity of the world, individuals evaluate the trustworthiness of information by how much they trust its transmitter and how people in their network — who collectively form their realities — also receive that information. There is scarcely enough time or resources for individuals to independently evaluate information (in a non-social way for truthiness). Observe for ourselves: how much do we accept as information just because someone we and our friends/family/colleagues trust says it?

In short, (I think that) we believe what others believe. The cost of evaluating information is too high, and so too is the social cost of believing something that is contrary to the beliefs of those others who constitute our immediate realities (the ones we directly experience day to day).

The answer in a democratic society that aims to have a free press? I think that at an abstract level the answer will have something to do with shortening the diameter of our society-level social network and more densely connecting distant subgraphs — such that different social realities can be bridged and the Overton window can be narrowed around the mean.

One merge-tribes implementation: Institutions that socialise people at a national or state-level and cross social classes, like a year of mandatory national civil service around the country. As we go through life, we progress through a series of institutions that socialise us at increasingly wider levels: family, grade school (hyperlocal), maybe religious group, middle school (local), high school (local), then university for some (international or national but upper middle-class if prestigious; otherwise regional). The EU’s Erasmus Programme brings EU students to study in other EU countries: individual networks that otherwise would never connect, get connected — and at a collective level the Programme contributes toward a pan-European identity. But in the US and the EU there are lack of institutions that socialise the masses both at a national/union level and across class. I expect that people will balk at the idea of a compulsory program in a “free” society, but I think that it is more productive for people to think about what a healthy society should ask of each members so that it can sustain a healthy abundance of freedom.

Another idea: Facebook and other online social networks creating intimate channels — not mass channels that inevitably devolve into shouting and chanting — that foster more cross-societal interaction and awareness. Though I think this is a lot weaker than an “IRL” solution.

I find our modern epistemic crisis very interesting and welcome emails to discuss.

I think most people have group think.

To not have group think is considered 'irrationality' since most people don't think the person is correct. So perhaps you are playing with words.

But I think that was my group think over their irrationality.

Hey, I've been trying to remember something about the way CA and the windowserver interact for a few weeks but I can't find anything about it. I remember somewhere there was a setting for maybe the backing layer of how a window was set up? And there were a few hidden ones? i remember that one of these settings was how minimized windows were implemented because the layer was set up to copy some other layer, and then shrunken, so that way you get minimized windows changing when the window changes for free.
If you look at the median age of covid fatalities in Italy at age 81.5, this question is entirely valid. Some of the numbers I read pointed to a 16-20% all cause mortality rate for that group irrespective of covid. So by definition the circles overlap to a meaningful extent.

Honestly, no. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other opportunities out there where you can make money providing a service that people are happy to pay for and that isn't a net negative for society.
