I'm with you on the military. I think its the biggest waste of budget we have, personally. Vietnam should have been the death knell of an overinflated military seeing as we failed to subdue farmers with rusty weapons, and continue to fail against farmers with 50 year old weaponry today. At least with the democrats there is a lot more heterogeneity in political opinion, although I'm jaded by the lack of imagination from the national office.

California is a great example of the heterogeneity of the democratic party. Most state and local politicians are democrats in name only. Sure, they support democratic social platforms like not being discriminatory to marginalized groups, who wouldn't? But looking at policy positions regarding land use and the role of public government, many hold very conservative positions. This is still the land of Reagan, and his politics never really went away even if the Rs seemed to disappear from ballots.

I think it's interesting to look at the different types of democratic voters in CA. Nationally, Bloomberg was sort of a DINO candidate. Take a look at the vote breakdown (1). I know LA so I'll give an overview for that city. Sanders held working class areas including neighborhoods with the highest population density in all of LA county, the region along Vermont Ave. from the 10 freeway to the hollywood hills. Biden was a mixed bag, drawing a lot of support from predominantly Black areas due to the association with Obama, but also from upper class white areas in the south bay such as manhattan beach, hermosa beach, and redondo beach. Support for Bloomberg only was found in some of the wealthiest zip codes like Brentwood and Beverly Hills, as you might expect given his positions.

What's your opinion on a more full-featured framework like RedwoodJS or Blitz then?

In 50 years experienced by the explorer inside the ship, at a more "realistic" speed of 0.9c the ship would travel ~115 light years, and at 0.99c it would do ~350 light years (excluding gravitational time dilation). Anything higher than that would probably be a bit incomprehensible for the human mind. At 0.99999c the ship would travel ~11000 light years, all of which would be fully experienced by the people at home. That's for the dash, the exploration itself comes on top of that.

And while at the speed of light time passes infinitely slow for you, it passes infinitely fast for the universe, which would very abruptly end your exploration.

We will not be exploring any significant portion of our galaxy without rewriting our current theory, inventing a game changing technology, or maybe discovering some phenomena.
CC BY-SA is copyleft like GPL and it can be used in commercial products.

I feel like you are choosing your own definition of commercial that's not generally used when talking about licensing. Generally, a non-commercial license is one which forbids you from using the creation as part of a money-making venture. The GPL does not do that.

I'm impressed you can both work full time with a preschooler at home. On my end, I've found the class zoom meetings not very useful - the kids in the class (including mine) just get disengaged with no parent helping them out.

Ontario, Canada reporting.

This is the general note at the top of the weekly schedule we get (paraphrased):

"Students in Grade 4-6 are to be doing 5 hours a week of
at home learning - total Math, Language (French and English), Science, and Social Studies"

That's 1 hour a day. The schedule that a teacher has provided luckily takes close to 2+ hours a day if you do it diligently. There are still issues that come up in terms of clarity of question, or how much depth an answer should have. Word problems are especially hard - I am not sure how to teach the analysis and solution of word problems. This is going to have a detrimental effect on my kid in spite of my ability to help them. I supplement with Khanh Academy but she is so focused on achieving Mastery she spends a long time there. Sometimes I see her guess her way through some problems.

If you need to attack people to get your point across, it means your argument holds no weight.

You don't do lockdowns based on how some far away city is doing. Germany did lockdown months after Wuhan, yet they are doing fine.

> India is closer geographically speaking.

What does that even mean? Closer together? Closer together than jam packed NYC? Closer to jam packed NYC? Both of these are incorrect.

> Their lock-down was extremely late in the game.

Extremely late by what measure? Number of cases in country? Extremely late compared to which country?

> The 5 days after NYC puts in context just how far late it was;
So comparing to random cities puts things in context? How many days after Wuhan/Lombardy Germany went in lockdown? How does this comparison makes any sense?

> I'm sorry you do not have the ability to see the importance of that.

I am sorry you can't reason politely.

Better to happen before flight than during it!
The characteristics you wrote require having a steady schedule with secure housing and food options, which are extremely highly correlated with stable income, which is extremely highly correlated with earning power. So effectively, kids need parents that make money.

>And the biggest joke of all is that eradication is impossible and therefore we didn’t prevent any mortality, we just postponed it

Umm, no.

Do you think that hospitals are overloaded with COVID-19 patients just so that they could die comfortably there?

The point of shelter-in-place is to prevent overloading of hospitals so that both COVID-19 patients and everyone else could get care - and have their lives saved by medics (which is often possible).

The alternative is the Italy scenario, where the doctors will have plenty treatable COVID-19 cases, but no means to save the lives that can actually be saved.

>How large of a spike in suicides, opioid overdoses, and psychosis are we going to see?

> social isolation [...] produces its own mortality

This is scaremongering. If you have any estimates, go ahead, and pit them against what is now the #1 cause of death in many regions across the US.

>We treated a really bad but manageable papercut..

The number of people who died from COVID-19 is about the same as people who died in the Vietnam war at this point.

I don't know how else to convey the point that it's not quite a 'paper cut'.

>We’ve stopped educating our children in person despite covid-19 being less deadly than Influenza in children (this is a fact at this point).

Yes, because schools is how the flu spreads to parents of these children - and everyone else in that household.

> There is no way to counteract that by injecting money.

There is also no way to bring people back to life. Cry me a river about destruction of wealth.

I'd love to (I'm not in the USA, but I've been working from home since March 3rd). My job is stressful enough as it is, and I want a complete separation of my work life from everything else (after a burnout which wrecked me in 2004, that has been my policy).

I thought my commute (short: 40 mins maximum) was tedious, but then I realized how much it was helping me disconnecting from work mode.
Do you have these numbers as percentage of revenue?
On the topic of COVID-19 I can do nothing but agree with you. My biggest complaint about reporting at CNN on this topic is that they use Total numbers sometimes and Per-Capita others. Stick with one please.

For example. We have done more testing in the USA than in Italy, we also have more deaths than Italy. When you look at Per-Capita the opposite is true. When you mix and match you can say, no we do more daily testing but THEY have more per capita deaths.

All of this is when I looked a few days ago, it's possible that there will be a period that we have the highest per-capita in one and not the other etc. But all of that tells a story when you look at it holistically.

Fox seems to be instead trying to balance Economics with the health implications. Which is a very important thing for us to consider and we as a world do with things like the seasonal Flu etc.

Mislabeling is ridiculous. My frustration came from their treatment of Yang and Gabbard. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/476951-cnbc-uses-wrong-ph.... Yes I know CNBC not CNN, but I've spent 30 minutes writing this and I've seen similar things at CNN.

Anyway thanks for your reply.
Oh yeah. It’s as much of a disaster as you think it is. Half the kids aren’t paying attention or wander off. The rest are all talking at once. It took a few days for the teachers to realize they should mute everyone at the beginning of the call and only unmute one at a time when it’s time to participate.

My daughter enjoys seeing her friends and teachers so we call in as much as we can, and as long as she is dressed and interested in it. It’s a lot of work for my wife and I though. If our work schedules weren’t flexible we’d skip them entirely.
"Just build a moon base" might be overly optimistic :)
Goes without saying, but it is shocking how quickly the world has changed. The easy take would be that a lot of people are finding out how the other half lives, without easy access to healthcare or using credit cards to pay bills, but the poorer are disproportionately affected.

The only positive, if there is one, is the ability to really consider how our societies operate, how dangerous apathy and incompetence are and for tech workers more specifically, to realize how much of an impact our work has.

The next time someone wants to act like they know what the future looks like, remind them to have some humility. Be safe yall. This too shall pass.
Very few people actually work in places like this. Common on HN, but in the grand scheme of things most people are shift workers. 4/10 Americans can't come up with $400 without debt or selling something, and that was before the pandemic and 20% unemployment. I actually read that only 45% of LA county has a job right now. I have been buying takeout myself, but restaurants are failing left and right. A lot of places I try to call have folded already :(
Anecdotal but I've worked with developers of Oracle cloud who admitted that it was complete garbage. I also know DevOps people who have taken training for Oracle cloud and AWS and they told me they didn't know why anyone would actually use Oracle cloud.

I haven't had that exact problem.

On iOS and macOS, a new session from idling a long time often won't start playing the last track, saying it can't find it.

Another annoyance is when someone edits the playlists or licensing situation may have changed, and songs just drop out of existence, so you never really "own" anything and there's zero permanence.

It's better to have your own collection and use Spot, Last or Panda as discovery mechanisms.

How do you know he hasn’t donated anonymously?

I think “I did some donations” would be perceived as self-serving, or would simply be cynically attacked.

All the 16th amendment does is give the power to the federal government the ability to levy an income tax on the states that isn’t apportioned. It says nothing about a permanent income tax. I get that you want free shit, but try being a little more honest next time.
I always want to emulate my seemingly-more-efficient colleagues. One of them had a set of 6 sessions in some layer talking to screen which was talking to vim or XXsh (bash, zsh, or something), and he had memorized an arrangement whereby he could think "I'm in this one and I want that one" and he'd go left-left or right-up and be in the right one. But he always had one unused when I would visit him and would pursue a search in that one. None of this was remote by the way. This inspiration got me to try screen but I didn't like it after all. It in no way inspired me to run Vim because I already preferred Emacs.

All of the open positions listed on your careers page appear to be broken. There is no field to upload or attach a CV when applying to any of the roles.

What makes you so sure of that? The hospitalization rates per https://old.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/g4tqvk/dutch_antib... (this is extrapolated from serological data but is in the right ballpark) suggest that not as many would have been taken out of the workforce as you think.

Now, the number of sick days will be far higher than the number of hospitalization-days. But if we're comparing losing, say, 25% of our efficiency, to losing 100% of it...yeah, it actually wouldn't be as massive as most people think.

Anyway, a better characterization of my view is that I view containment as an unworkable strategy (and everything we're seeing in the US further proves that, IMO), therefore we didn't actually avoid any true mortality by locking down. Rather we just postponed it.

We never overwhelmed our healthcare system, and due to cancelling elective surgeries and other important preventative care, we have actually scaled _down_ our healthcare capacity by a massive amount across the country. Tens of thousands of healthcare workers furloughed. How is that sane policy?
One of the cool things about Dolt is that you can query the diff between two commits. This functionality is available through special system tables. You specify two commits in the WHERE clause, and the query only returns the rows that changed between the commits. The syntax looks like:

`SELECT * FROM dolt_diff_$table where from_commit = '230sadfo98' and to_commit = 'sadf9807sdf'`
My point wasn't that I necessarily have a different view on what scientific discourse is; my point was that someone who is less discerning might see a discussion of one of the views you listed and see valid scientific discourse.

The issue is not that scientists, or discerning non-scientists, will take those views seriously, it's that others might (or will, or do). Hence the issue is not with defining scientific discourse, it's with educating a population to be able to apply that definition (or formulate their own functional individual ones).
Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007 and saw growth unabated during the recession.

People aren’t going to do without phones and at least in the US where all of the major carriers offer 0% interest payment plans. Over the course of two years, the monthly price of an iPhone isn’t that much more than a cheap Android phone. All most people care about is the monthly cost.

Also, Apple unlike any other phone manufacturer has a direct relationship with the customer and has its own payment plans.

Finally, while Apple’s revenue had start back growing pre-Covid, services has been growing like crazy. Even if people keep their iPhones longer, Apple is still making money off of them - unlike any other phone carrier. Apple is much better diversified than Google.
* The employee can cancel the mail-in ballot and vote in person.

* The ballots are sent to your home, not your workplace.

* Employers can ask for a picture of an in-person ballot.

Buying votes is illegal, which dissuades most people from buying votes. Your employees would turn you in, especially since people have very strong feeling about elections due to partisanship.
One of the comments made in the video (referenced in the article as well) is

"We always have between 37,000 and 60,000 deaths in the United States, every single year. No pandemic talk. No shelter in place. No shutting down businesses."

Since early Feb we've seen ~54K deaths from Coronavirus alone (excluding influenza deaths) [0]. The argument that this is just part of the normal flu cycle doesn't make any sense.

RIP Zoom's devops team.

Having experience with AWS, Azure, and OCI, I wouldn't voluntarily touch OCI with a 29½-foot pole. One of my company's software vendors uses OCI for the cloud-hosted version of their product, and we've had all sorts of random issues that make me really really really want to install the "on-prem" version on some Windows instances in our own AWS account. Maybe we're just an outlier and Zoom will have better experiences, but something tells me that given Zoom's scale the issues will only be amplified.

Given that it's an Oracle product, I can't imagine it being cheap in the long-run, either, so I seriously don't know what the value proposition is there. Sure, maybe Zoom got a good introductory price given their scale, but... eek.
