I had assumed this was about sprinting in the sense of running as fast as possible, which would be absolutely insane to do without a warmup. I take around 20 minutes to warm up for sprinting, doing very specific exercises to prepare.

On a stationary bike though, because the range of motion is much more controlled, I can see it being a little less of an issue.

I am sorry, but you are repeatedly presenting positives aspects for opening up without presenting any of the negatives. And even these positives are very hypothetical:
> Sometimes lightning does strike twice

On the other hand, you say > Remember, flattening the curve does not reduce deaths in the long-run, except insofar as it avoids overrunning hospitals, which we have already achieved.

If some countries have achieved this containment in the hospitals, not all, it is only by doing the lockdown, I can't believe you would think that opening up would not overrun the hospitals, if we open up, they will be flooded with new victims and those deaths will NOT be hypothetical.

Although you bring up many valid points, in my opinion this is where your statement fails. Opening up WILL cause new deaths.

I believe a gradual opening would be much more efficient only once the rise has already been slowed down.

The "Open Web" had already died the moment Facebook and Google had become ICAAN members and with Google owning TLDs. The moment you host on AWS, GCP or Azure, those providers reserve the right to terminate your contract for any reason, including no reason.

And last but not least, you remember WebAssembly right? Transparency-wise, it is worse than obfuscated Javascript since now you're loading a binary from someone else's server, making DRM and closing the web much further and easier, which is why the FAAMNG companies all have a reason to sit at the W3C round table.

If you have Mozilla receiving millions from Google for its search engine as the default on Firefox and Microsoft conceding to Google to build upon using Edge using Chromium, then we know who really runs the web.

Well, technically this is right about the time of year when CO2 concentration stops increasing and drops sharply for the next couple of months, corresponding to the Northern hemisphere growing season.

CO2 doesn't increase monotonically, it's actually more like a sine wave with an upward trend. It's that upward trend that has everyone rightfully worried, but the seasonal oscillation is part of the pattern too.

I don't know why Amazon has a "lowest price" reputation on HN. Everything on Amazon is overpriced. The only reason why I still use it is that people give me Amazon gift cards instead of cash. I use geizhals.de to find products and Amazon is rarely shown as the cheapest seller. The price difference isn't insignificant. Depending on the product you can expect to pay 15% more on Amazon and that's what I tell people giving me those amazon cards.
Here in Norway, the most common form (90%) of pensions from private companies[1] is required to be handled by a bank, insurance company or similar institution[2].

I've got this. So each month my company pays a percentage of my salary to my pension account with the bank our company has a deal with. The percentage is part of my employee contract.

This ensures my pension is still around if the company goes belly up, and my pension is protected as banks are required by law to buy insurance covering savings in case of bankruptcy.

I think 1:1s can be okay, if they are used for two-way communication. My manager went to biweekly 1:1, and used them to discuss not only immediate work topics, but career goals & progression. He honestly wants his people to be happy with work and tried Radical Candor methods to help. None of us were sure if RC was any good, but we gave it a shot (before the COVID-19 crisis added a lot of chaos into work & life).

I'd like the condition on the plain text to be relaxed. I would love to be able to use Unicode for creating basic interfaces. I would love to have basic interface elements such as a magnifying glass, "save" icons and external link to be part of the standard. Maybe they don't strictly find their use but for one people would find the use if they were there, and two, there are already (granted, grandfathered) elements that were used exactly for this purpose back in the era of plain text window interfaces.

How RDMA Became the Fuel for Fast Networks
> given the same material resources the private sector is usually more efficient at satisfying human wants.

I think this is a very dangerous simplification. There are certainly areas where private sector does a much better job than the public sector. But there are also areas where the public sector in general is superior. Examples are things like healthcare, infrastructure and education.
Very few rich people will actually get any richer. Most of them are heavily invested in stocks, which have plummeted, or owned or work for businesses which are being crushed. There are very, very few places to hide from what's going on.

One possible exception, and it's quite a small group really, may have had a lot of money in cash and bonds. They may be able to do quite well by buying or investing in businesses at relatively low prices and earn gains during the recovery. This is _not_ a bad thing. The economy desperately needs fresh investment to re-grow businesses, re-hire employees, pay salaries, rebuild supply chains. That takes a lot of capital investment.

I suppose another way would be to confiscate all their wealth and give it to the government to invest, but who do you trust to do that most efficiently and to the best economic effect. Government bureaucrats, or businesspeople with track records of investing in and growing businesses?

So on the business side now is not at all the time to bet on Socialism. We can't afford it at the best of times, let alone the worst. On the other hand, this crisis has starkly exposed the weaknesses of naked market capitalism. It's pretty obvious already that the European model of social democracy with single payer health systems and a robust social safety net has proved far better able to cope with this crisis. It's a system specifically designed to help people suffering hardships, and now it's doing exactly that on a massive scale. I think this comes out of the European experience in the two world wars. Existential crises in which all of society pulled together because we flat out had no other choice. We were all in it together. Now we're all in this together.

I suspect this will lead to similar realisations in the US. If big companies hit by disaster deserve bailing out for the common good to save jobs and economic resources, why are individuals hit by adverse circumstances any less deserving at a personal scale? If it's reasonable to help a business hit by a health crisis, why is it unreasonable to help a family? I'm no socialist, check another post on this discussion where I defend Conservatism here in the UK, but recognising that as a society we have obligations to each other isn't socialism, for me it's just pragmatism.

In my European country, taxi prices were exorbitant and taxi usage was very low. You only used taxis on very special occasions, like getting to your destination from an airport or train station. Once Uber came, taxi prices dropped drastically and several new local companies formed to try to compete, many of them with their own (less slick, but still very usable) apps.

Overall, Uber seems to have introduced healthy competition and taxi usage has changed from rare to commonplace.
I don’t think it is. I worked for one of the major HFTs and new graduates earned far less than that. In addition the churn rate was high - I’d say most new graduate hires didn’t last more than 2 years and what you learned in those 2 years was often not much use in terms of experience useful for other career paths.

Bonus distribution was reverse exponential. Like traditional consultancy partnerships, a small few of the old hands made serious money but those at the “bottom” made ok money but after a few years their FAANG based contemporaries were doing better.

This made me stop and think because I've never really wondered about what belongs and doesn't belong in Unicode, and then I went looking at what strange corners Unicode has and wow the "Miscellaneous Technical" code block is such
a strange thing.

Conceptually some no-code tools work essentially as glorified editors or code generators for a particular subset of a mainstream programming language. In this case, at any point you can abandon the no-code tool for a project or part of it and continue maintaining and developing it as an ordinary bundle of code.
> I’m still bullish on the idea of no code though. The tools are there. They just need more functionality.

Maybe, but I think the idea of setting up a SaaS business without writing any code just won't work.

If the tooling is simple enough that a non-coder can get it to work, then the no-code SaaS business is providing very little of value. The user could just do the job themselves using the same no-code tools.
I'm actually more annoyed that they are there in the first place. Unicode can't seem to decide whether it's about just encoding text or also doing presentation/formatting (and now piles of poo and colorful emoji, what next, animations?), so now it's a bit of both, what a mess. It's making life hard and breaking things for applications that assume text is just text, and the presentational features are not enough to avoid having to implement your own presentational features in a program that needs to do presentation..

now you have applications where you can't find a string because it was written in Unicode bold letters instead of the letters' normal ASCII counterparts. And then you have applications that are confused about those bold letters because they are not actually surrounded by bold markup.

The worst part is that you can't criticize unicode without attracting a crowd of bullies who handwave about human languages being complicated (no, that does not justify poor design) or say it has to be this way because ugh shift-jis (or whatever nasty old encoding you can come up with) is not nice.

Well designed technology makes complex things simple. People defending poorly designed technology blame the problem for being complex.

Speaking for myself if a company doesn't list salary or a range it's less likely for me to even apply. If recruiters and HR's push me to tell my current salary or give expected salary and they're really pushy about it I just flat out stop the exchange. They're waste of my time. If a company wants the right person for the job then salary can be negotiated despite the fixed ranges they've told the recruiter. If a company wants a code monkey then I'm definitely not the right person for the job. If the reason between they want to get me or not is 10k then I'm sorry, but I'm not working for you.

The current economical climate has already made it very hard to get a good raise if you stay in the same company and be loyal. The only way to get a big pay bump is to find another company that will pay you more from the get-go. It's very sad that that's the current state of things.
I have a genuine question, as someone with an interest in mathematics but alas, no natural ability in the area.

Is there some kind of 'map' or list of mathematics areas, problems, etc. that professional mathematicians consult for ideas when conducting research? Likewise physics?

It strikes me that we've collectively had at least 5,000 years of math-related research stretching back to ancient civilisations. Surely most discoveries have been made? How much more math ore is there to mine?

When I read Richard Feynman claim (paraphrasing) that the joy of physics, math is the theoretical discovery of new knowledge without applications, I wonder where on earth today's mathematicians are looking for new ideas and discoveries?

And how do they get research funding? As a CS researcher, funding is hard to come by if I don't propose a tangible product. When I say, e.g., let's re-examine the relational model and extend it, or do something interesting in AI, the question is always the same: what is the product? Mathematicians on the other hand never create a 'product', so I'm confused who, why and where they get their money?

Lots of questions, I know, but I'm missing something here.

My reading is that ric2b's was implying that whilst 87% of _hosts_ might be sharing their own home, if you were to look at rentals then there would be a different picture, presumably on the basis that the other 13% are "sharing" multiple properties.

ric2b's accusation of misdirection was aimed at your 87% claim, because, whilst it was technically accurate (unlike what frobozz said), it "misdirects" from the more important picture, which is that, to quote frobozz opening sentiment:

> Calling it "sharing economy" is doublespeak.

That being the case for aforementioned reasons.
>Thing is, and this differs per market; most companies do not need anything more than endless streams of crud apps, and that is where these tools shine.

IME at least 20% of the needs of these companies are not met by "basic CRUD app programming" which is why these no-code things never really take off despite often appearing quite impressive. 80% is not enough.

Basic CRUD also implies an understanding of domain modeling and normalized relational db design. In practice these are uncommon enough skills among developers never mind users of tools like these. That's half the reason why spreadsheets business users want turned into apps are so horrendous - it's not even intrinsically a problem with excel, it's just that the relationships between the domain objects are usually confused and the data is in a mess.

I agree that text mode browsers would benefit, as they can hide the external nature of a URL behind non-URL link text, and not allow an image next to it.
