between 2011 and 2016 I went on a bunch of motorcycle trips around the western states. It was really depressing and heartbreaking to see so many closed businesses and obviously economically depressed towns when we were supposedly having a economic recovery. You could see that the situation outside the coastal bubbles was pretty bad.

Over time the more tourist-serving towns seemed to recover.

I am pessimistic that we're heading for the same situation again. The companies that the stock market cares about will recover, we will all go on pretending that things are back to normal. Meanwhile there will again be large swaths of the population in dire straits.
The idea of the 401k is such an amazing hustle for the wealthy.

* Middle-class Americans consistently pump money into the stock market generically (not information trading), raising the value of all your stocks over time.

* Now you have a gun to their head to support policies that pump up the value of your stocks even more.

* Also, when shit hits the fan, they can't easily cash out, but you can. Both on a mega-scale (recession), and individual stocks (when companies tank, you sell first, and 401k index or diversified funds take a hit).

I'm not an expert in this stuff but it smells from miles away.
Every new (post-2018) iPhone ships with this. iOS developers can build code for the architecture but I believe Apple currently strips it out before distribution, so its use is limited to the OS for now. I would assume at some point they’ll flip the switch to allow it; until then developers can use the toolchain to test if their code still works (generally it does, but messing with function pointers in ways unspecified by the standard can occasionally cause problems). ‘pjmlp is fairly interested in this topic so they might be able to share some more examples of it being used if they drop by the thread.
This seems like a great time for Amazon or Google to buy Lyft

Or maybe Apple.

Apple has been pouring millions into improving its street views in Apple Maps. It should buy Lyft. Pay the drivers an extra $x/mile to clamp the Apple Maps image gathering device to the roofs of their cars.

The drivers win because they get a bump in income in an industry that's already hurting.

Apple wins because it gets up-to-date information about the places where people go most.

Even better: Apple could pay them $x/mile to drive to specific areas where the data is stale or missing.

As a former Uber/Lyft driver, I'd be all over this like Oprah on a baked ham.

Your argument is absolutely a strawman. You are not making your argument in good faith and assume that people just want to let people die so they are not inconvenienced.

You should read the real arguments people who want to open actually make. Here are few examples that show that it may actually be better for (some) people to go back to work.

1. People die from suicide, drug use and alcoholism all of which increase quite a bit when there are economic issues. Its not clear if more people will die from this or any increases that could come from reopening. Somebody dying form suicide isn't better or worse than dying from corona virus.

2. Even if people do not die from the above they quite possibly will have a lower life expectancy from having depression, using drugs and alcoholism so people will die sooner. If 10 people die 1 year earlier (from drugs, alcohol, etc) is it worse than 1 person dying 10 years earlier (from virus)? It is a toss up and up to debate. This is of course assuming that somebody wouldn't get the virus and die in quarantine but they would if they were not in quarantine. This is not a sure thing. The person is still going out to the grocery store and could get the virus there. Obviously quarantine is not stopping everybody from getting it.

3. If somebody has the antibodies it appears like they will not get reinfected (at least until there are enough mutations so probably this season). If those with the antibodies go back to work there would be no increase in deaths. In fact it would quite possibly lower the number of deaths.

4. As far as I know there are no vaccines for any corona viruses. That could mean that this virus won't have a vaccine. The only way to stop it may be to build up herd immunity. This means we need people to get infected. Why not let the people who are least likely to die when they get it go back to work.
It may make more sense, to bey an apartment, rent it out and live in another place that your rent.
I think they're saying we should realize that a septuagenarian or an octogenarian is, economically speaking, a drain on society and we should be having a conversation about whether stopping the world economy to keep cost centers running makes sense.
I would absolutely switch to Safari or Firefox except for the fact that I find Chrome's tab system to be so good.

Chrome tabs load and appear instantly. As you add more tabs they shrink down to a tiny but still usable favicon size. As you close tabs they resize well and with nice little UX behavior like the next close button always appearing directly under your mouse. They close and re-open instantly.

When you press enter in the address bar Chrome always loads your Search, unlike Safari, which often requires second press, or weirdly loses focus. Even doing simple web search feels so slow and broken in Safari tabs. When you have a moderate number of tabs Safari switches to this horizontal scrolling mode where half of your tabs are no longer visible. Basically unusable.

Chrome tabs are so good compared to the standard macOS tabs found in places like Safari and Finder. I wish I could have them everywhere.
Answers.com used to make enough ad revenue from their copies of Wikipedia pages that they sponsored Wikimania with it. And of course Cygnus, Soft Landing Software, Slackware, Red Hat, CheapBytes, and so on, have made a great deal of money on GPL software, most of which they didn't write themselves.

It's true that CC-BY-SA doesn't include the source-code-provision provision of the GPL, because it isn't intended for software, and it isn't clear what the source code for, say, a photograph would be. A PSD, maybe; but what about the RAW from your camera? What if you don't shoot raw? Are you obligated to include documentation of the photographer's lighting setup in order to redistribute? Their thinking about the framing? Shots from the other angles they tried that didn't work out? Such considerations would probably have resulted in SA works being impossible to legally redistribute in practice, so the license doesn't impose them.
You have described what is called a "self-dealing" transaction in non-profit law (or more technically, an excess benefit or private inurement transaction). These transactions are subject to various tax penalties that apply both to the putative "donor"[1] and to the board members and officers of the non-profit that approved the transaction). Depending on the severity of the self-dealing, the IRS can even strip the non-profit of its 501c3 status or refer the matter to the DoJ for criminal charges.

[1] Note that a 200% penalty rate can apply to uncorrected self-dealing transactions. For the board members and officers, an excise tax of 10% may apply, which the non-profit cannot pay on their behalf.
I feel like we are going to go full circle pretty soon, with more people realizing that server-side rendering is better for most websites/apps. I say this as someone who has used Angular and Vue extensively (and still do). The problem is, it is extremely easy to get things wrong, and I have seen mediocre (not great, but not bad) front-end devs make a complete mess using these frameworks.
This isn’t a typical recession and cannot be compared to anything in the past. The economy has been effectively put on pause. So the dynamics of the duration and recovery will be totally different than anything we’ve seen in the past. I’m optimistic about a much quicker recovery than the last one.
The businesses don't disappear because the doors close for a few months. People will still have their colleagues’ contact information to be able to re hire and start again.

All I really wanted was to allow type annotations in JavaScript. So you wouldn't need a compile step while running (JavaScript would just ignore the type signatures), but TypeScript could check it whenever. I believe this is the approach Python uses.

I think there were discussions of doing that at some point, but it seems to have gone nowhere.
What does this mean in the context of state aid rules?

I'm quite worried that the EU's attempts to pick up the pieces of the economic carnage will clash with Britain's attempts. Inability to agree what counts as fair, will be a major block in any negotiation, and catalyse the economic partition of Brexit.

>The company will take the money but the state won't get a say: this is a concise summary of what Lufthansa's Executive Board, headed by CEO Carsten Spohr, has been telling German politicians in the past few weeks.

That's awesome.

Create a crappy business, hire 130k employees, and get the state to pay for your failures.

At this point, I would be happier that they would just give the money to Google and Facebook which proved that they know a thing or two on creating value and sustainable business.

Obviously, airlines that have been doing fine (Ryanair, Wizzair?), won't get a dime which seems completely absurd. I did some quick googling and apparently Ryanair has similar opinion: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-24/ryanair-s...
I interpreted this to mean that the outcomes were not improved by Remdesivir but perhaps the time to get to that outcome might have been improved (but not confirmed) which is a hospital load / economic benefit.
He (mostly) retracted this a week later:

"Last links post I included tech company Triplebyte in the shame list for refusing to let employees switch to work-from-home, then firing them. A representative of Triplebyte contacted me and asked me to explain their perspective, which is that they took the pandemic seriously and went all-remote around the same time as everyone else. The reluctance to let employees switch to work-from-home applied only to a few employees in early March, before the scale of the crisis was widely appreciated, and they say that they would have tried to make accommodations if they had understood the seriousness of the requests. They had been planning the downsizing for a while, it was really unlucky that it ended up in the middle of a pandemic, and they tried to make it as painless as possible by offering good severance pay, etc. I’m relaying their statement because I’m realizing it was probably unfair of me to single them out in particular – my hearing a lot about this was downstream of my having a lot of friends who work(ed) for Triplebyte, and my having a lot of friends who work(ed) for Triplebyte was downstream of them being a great company doing important work which all my friends wanted to work for. I continue to generally respect them and their vision (see here for more), and you don’t need to give them any more grief over it than they’re already getting."

Others have covered most of my thoughts but I haven't seen platform mentioned.

If you already have a platform like Kubernetes/OpenShift (preferably with a service mesh) micro services make a lot more sense to me and can be done well. It gets easy to deploy and scale independently, but still have very low latency communication with a strong security model built in.

If you are deploying everything to completely independent platforms/infrastructure, I get a lot more conservative with "what should be its own service" and what shouldn't. Building a distributed monolith (a bunch of dependent services that aren't reusable/composable) is the worst of all worlds.
It means the study group was big enough to rule out benefit for those who began treatment in severe stage but not big enough to establish benefits for those who began treatment in a mild stage, which in turn indicates an upper bound to such possible benefit.

Yes but that still ultimately goes back to support from a very large number (tens of millions) of voters.
The difference is there isn't a predominant American legacy airline. AA is only marginally larger than Delta or United. Personally, having never lived in their hub or focus cities I have rarely ever flown them, and it's conceivable that the national value of LH or AF to their countries is greater than AA.
I never said it was a good thing, its merely a statistic.

> opportunity is very limited and unequally distributed

Sorry, I don't subscribe to this idea.

I came from a blue collar family. Both parents work long hours to provide for our family. I was working when I was 12. I didn't own anything of value through HS or college. I worked several jobs to pay my way through college. I have lived a big chunk of my life below the poverty line. I didn't graduate in four years like most of my friends, but I was still able to get myself out of college, get a job and have been able to build a career out of almost nothing.

"Shouting into a void of ignorance". Such prose from a person who probably was gifted a nice comfy life, trying to tell the guy who had to bust his ass for everything he has that I'm ignorant? Now that's something.

Feel to take more of my fake internet points away, I don't care.
No, because there are laws against discriminating protected classes (although sexuality is not quite a protected class per se and laws can vary between states). There are no laws against discriminating bigoted content or propaganda, these aren't protected classes.

I saw a talk with Alexandra from Segment before. When it makes sense to go with monolith it makes sense.

That is all.
Unfortunately, from what I have heard from my doctor friends, the government does lie about the numbers. Not all the state govts are doing this to the same extent but I have heard first hand information for doctors on the ground that the govt is hiding and misreporting numbers.
That's all true, but when you say "off the backs of others" that generally means by unfairly exploiting the labor of others without giving them anything back (see every dictionary, or https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/live...).

In the examples you have cited, all of those people were paid for their labor. In the cases of Winfrey and especially Jordan, many of those people were paid extremely well for their labor.
That does seem to be the reasoning behind clickwrap contracts in general, yes — that by someone clicking on a button or opening an envelope or whatever, they are signaling their agreement to whatever contract terms are in the DOM or written on the paper or whatever. It's absurd, but if you accept it, it seems that you would have to accept that the fact that the button I clicked said "Disagree" means that clicking on it did not signal any such agreement.
>I think people reasonably expect that when a company makes a serious decision that affects hundreds of people’s livelihoods, that they effect a pretty somber tone.

This case sounds like an unfortunate mistake, I’m sure they intended to present the material in a somber manner. That said, it begs the question on if what should be expected behind closed doors.

Ask HN: Do you need more than front end and Firebase education to ship product?
Whilst my world is on hiatus for the foreseeable, I've decided to learn enough web development to ship a few product ideas I've had on the back burner, for a mix of fun, profit and self development.

Plan A was to just learn front-end development (HTML, CSS, JS, framework, UI/UX) and use a baas like Firebase or AWS for the back-end.

Now, I'm a little concerned that relying on front-end and baas will bottleneck me in some way that isn't obvious to me as a newbie.

Given the above, how valuable would a back-end education be (node/express or ruby on rails), even if I end up going the baas route?

Notes:
My product ideas are run of the mill Reddit for dogs, news aggregator, to-do list app type stuff.

I'll be following one of the Odin Project's curriculums. They offer both front-end and full stack learning tracks.

-Front end https://www.theodinproject.com/tracks/3

-Full stack Javascript https://www.theodinproject.com/tracks/2

-Full stack Ruby on Rails https://www.theodinproject.com/tracks/1
Product Packaging Make a Powerful First Impression

> For example, Apollo will cache api requests, but what about local application state? Their local caching library is cumbersome to use. If you wanted to update local state, you either need to write a mutation, or manually fetch data from the cache and change it.

Apollo is for GraphQL. I'm not sure why you'd try to use it's internal caching system to add local application stuff. Note that using Apollo does not stop you from continuing to use Redux.

> The Query component can be fine for simple use cases, but it still ties your API calls directly to your component.

This is what hooks aim to solve.
Maybe in theory, but it has never actually happened to me. I don't see much *nix user/sysadmin advice around the internet about how to avoid all those inevitably corrupted files, but there is plenty of evidence that Windows' strict locking causes real users real annoyance.
I only hear raw casualty numbers from the news and not that most people dying had a pre medical condition.

I don't think it is that interesting how many 80+ year old people are living because life expectancy has risen in Italy since 1950 with 15 years to 82. 50 years ago nobody was lucky enough to even reach 80, let alone 90.

I included your requested pyramid anyway and you can draw your own conclusion how many lives we should save.

I think it is the wrong discussion and we should agree on a age limit to decide which people aren't relevant in economy shutdown tradeoff .

Show HN: Lynk – Securely expose local TCP and HTTP services to the web
I deeply sympathize with the OP.

One thing I've found to help is to channel that anger in productive ways.

I have in the past worked on things like increasing the usability of censorship circumvention technologies, advocated for strong encryption, pushed for the decriminalization of activities between consenting adults, and advocated for tech being more inclusive.

Anyways, I did not advocate these things because of an abstract ideology.

I advocated these things I want children and adults who are failed by the authority figures in their lives to be able to find resources, take legal action, and if the courts fail them to be able to be able exercise their 1st Amendement rights. (Truth is an absolute defense against libel in the USA)

I've seen many an op-eds lately noting that it is OK that you may not be as productive during this crisis, and that it is normal to have trouble focusing during a traumatic situation.

That is a wonderful sentiment, and I hope that when we emerge from this crisis, we will emerge with more sympathy for those who have suffered trauma and value the unique perspective they bring to the table, especially in the privacy and security spaces. (People who've faced threats are very good at threat modeling.)

Also, I hate to network in such a serious topic, but if anyone reading this is looking for a privacy and security expert with additional experience in policy and UX, my twitter handle is the same as my HN username (@dontbenebby) and has open DMs. I was recently laid off, and am happy to forward a CV.

(Also feel free to DM if you just need to talk. We're all in this together)
