You're spot on. The companies you listed plus others are going to come out of this leaner, with fewer competitors, and a whole set of new people forced to learn how to use them. Great news for those companies.

I would also add a #4 to your list that people often miss. There is risk and there is uncertainty (think unknown unknowns). The market hates uncertainty because it is so hard to price. Risk though can be priced. This is often why the market will go up with numbers that look really bad when they come in. They are no longer uncertain.

Indeed. The other thing I learned after having a Windows Mobile phone for years: I don't need every latest app either. I want my phone to take calls, texts, emails, pictures, and I am mostly good to go.

I switched to an iPhone recently, but I'm not really engaging heavily with Apple's services or ecosystem.
> Not according to the article. The local TV station interviewed them and the local TV station put the video on YouTube.

As noted in another comment, the article does not touch on the veracity of the claims of these two doctors.

"In a rare statement late today, the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine declared they “emphatically condemn the recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Messihi. These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical societies and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19. As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.”"

> We have to sit through three years of the echo chamber telling us Donald Trump is a fascist, and then finally when our freedom to assemble is literally stripped from us by the police power of the state, people are complaining that he's not fascist enough. Geez.

You're making a false analogy; US Government in times of emergency has used it's authority to curtail civil liberties; I'm sure you are well aware of the gist of the War Times Power Act. And perhaps most famously (and more controversialy) when Habeas Corpus was suspended.

That said, I think it's our responsibility (duty) as citizens to continually challenge attacks on the 1st Amendment, and other curtails of constitutional protected freedoms, but it's also on us to hold accountable those who seek to use the rights granted by the Bill of Rights in ways that harm the public.

It is my pov that the opinions, presented as medical facts by these two doctors, were harmful to the public, and should be censored.

Being in a recession is a weird thing to detect. From Wikipedia:

> In the United States, it is defined as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales". In the United Kingdom, it is defined as a negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters.

So it's not a recession unless it lasts for a while. So when the markets suddenly go down, it's not known if a recession is happening, until it's been ongoing. Since we've already been in lockdown for more of Q2 than Q1, its reasonable to expect that we're in a recession. But it's not official yet.
Having to reach out to find the salary range, is already wasting time.
I had a Panasonic 2.4Ghz jamming device. Could take out channels 1-11 all at the same time. It wasn't supposed to be a jamming device, it was supposed to be a cordless phone. Setup wifi for a customer, and it worked fine when I was on site. Later the customer complained it was completely unusable, in what they thought was a random fashion.

Turned out whenever they used the cordless it pretty much made so much noise on the 2.4G frequence wifi wouldn't work. Phone itself worked fine. Had them get new phones and the problem went away.

> A protocol by itself indeed doesn't need a business model but clients for the protocol do need one.

They still don't need one, there can be many. Even if most people still end up with the gmail model, it's meaningfully different, because the switching cost is lower. You don't have to convince everybody you know to switch too.

Now suppose you're trying to solve the original problem. You've got feeds from a hundred users and you want a way to filter them yourself. If any service exists that provides this, using any business model, you can use it even if hardly anybody else does. You can also develop your own client that does this or commission someone to add the feature to an existing client.

More than that, if this is a feature many people want, now the ad-supported providers will need it too, because now they have to compete for users with the providers who are treating you as the customer instead of being insulated from competition by the network effect when they own the entire network.
I don't think many people, including me, will need much if any coaxing at all.

I've done this a couple years ago now for anyone interested in the subject, hope it's useful to compare: https://medium.com/@rdallman10/degoogling-eb3709bdfd4c (I will get my blog off medium, promise!)

It's great to compare with people who have done similar, thanks for sharing your journey. It is an inordinate amount of work that non-computer-interested most likely aren't interested in. I do wonder what it takes (restoration of privacy rights enacted through judicial interpretation enforced upon companies like e.g. GDPR?) to have default UX that is E2E across most services, probably widely used companies like Apple doing it (which may compel Google, et al, to?). It surprises me to some degree that companies seem to _want_ the liability involved with associating people with their data? This seems odd, as the data is just as useful assigned to some random identifier that can be carted around the internet that can't be tied to our person, and I wonder how the cost of liability remains worth it when technologically it's unnecessary. The human aspect of social networking seems like the weak heel for removing names there, but still things like chat seem like things companies wouldn't want to store (who knows how strongly gov is compelling them to do so to make it worthwhile, maybe, with $$$ or threats). Even things like imessage, most people use icloud to backup and in this case the messages are recoverable by Apple (for law enforcement as it is or their own purposes maybe, more cynically) - this is heavily marketed E2E but in practice isn't, Apple says so on their security page even (this is nice of them): https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 - I hope that as an industry we can work towards pushing ephemeral UX that users can adjust to but it will take adjusting, nobody needs a message from Nonna from 2014 and if it was the prized bread recipe, save it somewhere else! In any event, I hope this continues to get better for the lay user.

I haven't changed most of my choices since making the switch. I do use mullvad with wireguard now and I consider moving off of 1.1.1.1 for similar reasons to leaving google (see recent news about large gov partner here). I don't have many complaints. In the past year, I've also stopped reading twitter/reddit and moved to reading the news once a week in some attempt to rewire my brain, I'd say it's mostly good, I spend more time thinking and reading more interesting things and it gives me some perspective, the trade offs are being more disconnected from society (not up to date on memes, miss seeing what friends are cooking!) which has pros/cons. I'm rethinking this, it's all about values really, I do think social media can be used in a privacy preserving way to still keep in touch with friends/family (fingerprinting is slight issue) that doesn't have to constantly fight for your dopamine receptors. Anyway, it's interesting to discuss with like minded people, I know very few who aren't constantly plugged in now and it can be hard to relate (ie talk about more interesting things imho).

So, for example, "I" had "my identity" "stolen" according to Verizon.

In reality, some criminals learned facts about me and then Verizon happily let them run up thousands of dollars in phone charges in a two month period. (I assume this is part of a larger scam where a 900 number pockets the charges?) This had nothing to do with me, but Verizon then polluted my credit history by falsely reporting the unpaid charges as being mine. So even though there were clearly two parties at fault—the criminals for the fraud and Verizon for not verifying the ID of the person getting the phone line and then falsely harming my credit reputation—I, an uninvolved third party, was made to do the legwork of cleaning up the mess. It's really scandalous that we allow this, but the PR of "identity theft" has been quite good at brainwashing the public.

4. Government policy, both current and expected future.

I want to add emphasis on (2). The effects are not spread out uniformly across all businesses. The hard hit businesses including restaurants, bars, and hair and nail salons have seen almost all of their business evaporate. You're not going to find the corner nail salon in the S&P 500.
The document you link to is entirely about C++, and makes numerous references to some "base (C) ABI".

That's a tricky question because "went away" is fuzzy. For example Ministry were popular in the early, mid 90's - apparently they're still going, I had no idea. There are many who technically haven't gone away, but they're far from the spotlight these days. A certain fluff example: Body Count.
The S&P is a reflection of where traders are betting things will go. It is not a reflection of the economic reality at that moment in time. It's also down 10% YTD which is fairly substantial.

More important than anything though is that the market right now is absolutely rigged. It's not just irrational and forward looking, it is completely rigged. Central banks all over the world are directly propping up the market up. The market has never been more of a ponzi scheme for the rich than this exact moment in time.
The takeaway is about trade-offs. They made a rational decision to improve fault isolation by dividing the app into smaller building blocks managed separately. After working with it for a while, they realized the higher operational overhead made the architecture a bad choice for them. So they went back to a monolith architecture and tried to do fault isolation within the boundaries of that architecture, which might have made fault isolation not as good as in the micro-services architecture but it was acceptable.

It's incredibly tough to know the full effect of a trade-off on your organization until you start going down that path.

We're early in the process of adopting a micro-service architecture. With only a handful of services so far, I can already see how a team of two is going to spend a lot more time with operational issues and debugging.
> so you can scrap that entire connect() stuff alltogether

To me that "entire stuff" is about the only thing that is good about redux (barely does dependency injection). See people need to understand that hook is a good API from the library authoring point of view (the react team's and react component library authors') it's not such a clean abstraction for people to write application on top of while unneccesarily make their code depend on magic react functions all over the place.

I cant count how many "data fetching hook solutions" I've seen on twitter. If something does data fetching, then it needs to know about fetch() and may be a reactivity abstraction like promise or rx. A hook is completely unjustified.
Same is happening in Japan, Europe, China, etc.

I mean the irony is that when you have a huge internal phone system like this the only way to do it "right" is to spoof the number to something consistent.
You can use an Apple phone without using a lot of Apple services and contributing a lot to a cloud profile of you. Given how many apps on the Android ecosystem depend on Play Services to function, it's nearly impossible to do this with Android.

I have a Brave Heart Edition PinePhone, and I'm hoping to switch to a real Linux phone soon, but for now, carrying an iPhone as a pretty basic phone is still a big privacy improvement.
It's very hard to have currency based inflation especially for USD which is in very high demand.
That's an interesting theory that sounds like what you'd read in an economics textbook, but I'm not sure what that happens. My experience working at a big tech company is that they pretty much pay everyone the same thing, per job level. When I applied to Google, they basically offered me total comp that was probably about $100k per year more than I made at my previous job (but would not add an extra $10k to my salary to match Amazon's offer). I have a suspicion, but no proof, that people that ask for more money tend to be placed into a higher job level so as to get a salary match with their previous job. So there is room to negotiate, but it can backfire (and you just fail out with bad performance reviews; I've seen that).

Meanwhile, on the other side of the coin, I can show up at salary negotiation with a stack of W2s that said I made ~$280k per year while I was at Google, and they will still offer me something like $140k. That is good money and all, but I have data that I can do better ;)

So I am not sure that everyone is economics-textbook efficient. Rather they have some number in their head, and nothing will change their mind. ("Everyone we interview is so awful, it was so nice to meet you!" then "No way we'll pay you that." It's cute.)
As a (former) network security guy, I shudder at the thought that you WANT to expose your internal routing details. That's a recipe for security disaster.

It is also an administration problem - you've given out an internal IP network to someone else -- and now your ability to move it to a different IP address for whatever reason depends on the change processes at the other enterprise, which can take months -- or on the ability of your own network infrastructure to NAT it to the new location.

It tends to work much better all around if you have a well defined "external" interface, that gets properly monitored and filtered with a network/app firewall, and gets routed to the right server -- and then internal change for your organization are decoupled from change processes in the others.

And for that, v4 exhaustion really doesn't matter.

Perhaps, but then we can characterize the following, considering Google's aggressive opposition to GDPR and CCPA:

Before I say this, I would just like to say I run Firefox as often as I can and love love love it, but chrome is better, due entirely to the market share of the Blink web engine. Microsoft Teams' webapp only works in Blink. Hulu bitches about widevine until Firefox gives me the notification to enable it. Canvas (that thing all us students use) gets random rendering errors on gecko that makes the UI malfunction a lot.

People mention that more people should use Firefox because google controls the Blink engine and Gecko is the only real competitor, and if Blink has too high of market share, than google can add exclusive functionality to blink for developers to use, edging all other browsers out of the market.

Congrats, we live in that future.

I've found hooks incredibly easy to reason about, and I'll happy take the bit of magic that goes along with it. (Anyway, I don't see any of you criticizing JSX for being magic.) On the other hand, I really like functional programming, so I've seen the entire development path of react as positive.

Many other responses are absolutely true, but here's something else to consider:

Over the last 12-14 years, I've never, ever had a "job" that had specific, clear requirements and duties.

In the field we're in staff are not line-replaceable units. Each employee is like a box of chocolates, and you'll never know what's inside until you bite (hire them).

Some staff will quickly exceed the expected duties and take on high levels of responsibilities and massively contribute to the organization far in excess in what anyone could have foreseen initially. Others will only do strictly what is asked of them (or less) and do the barest minimal to just get by, and basically be a disappointment.

Some staff will be able to kind-of fill the job, but not entirely, and will need some training to get there. Others will hit the ground running.

This is often why there is a large and ambiguous range for job posts. Basic IT jobs that do have specific, clear duties (and extremely limited growth potential) can have much more clear, lower, and narrow salary ranges.
Have you tried coordinating entire teams to work on a shared codebase?

Honestly, I have never been in an organization so large that this became a necessity (if you solve tens of different problems, that would require almost thousands of developers). But coordinating single developers without an API is hard enough already, I can only assume for teams its nearly impossible.
> So the market is looking to, what, 2025 or something?

Well, another point not mentioned is, where else are you going to park your money? Interest rates globally are basically <= 0, real estate may be a dicey proposition for many years to come, bond yields are garbage, so... stock market. And considering so many companies are selling at a discount (regardless of whether or not you think that’s the case), dumping money in the stock market is a pretty good bet right now.
yep. The assumption is they'll be able to borrow more cheaply and easily than ever before and will be able to buy up [assets of] more cashflow-constrained businesses in related markets relatively cheaply.

A related assumption is also that government bonds will be a less attractive alternative place for investors to park their money.
