Those protester people were to a large extent rich employers who wanted to start earning on the backs of others again, or benefiting from that work with normal service availability. There isn't a lot of rawness in that deal, only privilege, and their request was one that hurts others to maintain that privilege.

It sounds like you are the creator/a team member, so I just wanted to give you a data point.

My team used insomnia for a while. We were on the paid tier. My boss had us bail because of pain points we were having with syncing environments. People were overwriting changes on accident, and it was hard to coordinate.

I like Insomnia more than what we have now, but I wanted to let you know that was the pain point that lost you some customers so you can hopefully address that to avoid losing future customers. :-/

I think something like a "locking" feature or the ability to prevent certain users from modifying certain shared environments would have helped.
Is it about process space and programming languages? Or is it about source control and CI architecture?

Not an expert, not a doctor, etc.

My barely informed interpretation and resulting take here is that:

1) This really only shows any efficacy when given shortly after the onset of symptoms

2) Remdesivir is an expensive and IV only drug that is difficult to produce in high quantities

3) The combination of the above makes this not particularly useful for treating the general population - we do not want everyone that shows mild symptoms to be rushing to the doctor for a treatment that has to be provided by a professional, and by the time we know if the symptoms will be severe and life threatening it is too late for remdesivir to be useful

4) That would seem to make it most useful for people that have known risk factors and co-morbidities to be candidates for remdesivir use. I do not know if the results are similarly promising for people that have those criteria, however.

If these results hold up it's good news, but I don't know if it's great news - it seems like the factors involved here make it impractical for the large scale treatment of cv19

You don’t think that describing poor kids who cannot go to school and likely cannot afford to eat on their own as packs of feral dogs is problematic at all?
I'm obligated to post a reminder that sometimes your team is horribly bloated or incompetent or your choice of technology is wrong, so make sure you're actually doing useful things before feeling relieved that you're invincible. Sure, nobody is going to upend your business in a weekend, but there's been many, many examples of a company doing this and then someone working by themselves for a couple of months or years (usually, this is just someone who actually bothered to care enough to spend time on the problem) comes along and does far more than they thought was possible. Stay on your toes!
We also know that immunity to coronaviruses generally declines rapidly. We have no idea how long somebody is immune to Covid-19 when they have recovered.
McConnell is a shrewd negotiator so I assume he is using the bankruptcy position to win concessions on rescuing the oil and energy industry. Otherwise there will be a handful of Republican states facing their own bankruptcies.

I've long understood that this was true. It makes intuitive sense.

But are there any cases where it is not true?

Is it possible to "spread the wealth" when it comes to trading, or any money-making endeavor?

Or does it always reduce down to "I win only because you lose"?

There is a comfort that comes from the instability of party switches. The parties don't cooperate, which means less can get done. Anything that puts anyone in an area where one of the gangs of politicians can actually do something, is to be avoided. We've learned that the hard way in Wisconsin.

As a general rule, it's always best to split up your government as much as you can.

4. Investors are driven by quarterly results. Q1 earnings are all being released right now by major companies, and since the pandemic only really hit in March, they're reporting pretty good results and investors are reacting as they always do.

This is despite the economic slow down as B2C companies losing 20-100% of their customers and B2B companies lose their B2C customers who no longer have income.
Another aspect no one seems to talk about is whether your deployment is monolithic or fragmented. It seems like a lot of the pain of managing microservices comes from designing a coherent CI/CD pipeline, how to share libraries between various microservices, etc. If you have a monorepo, good build tooling, and a good infrastructure as code tool, I think much of that pain goes away, but none of those things are easy and the precise selection and combination of tools depends a lot on your organization (I wouldn't recommend Bazel or Nix--build tools--to a small or medium-sized organization, for example).
Does viral load also matter? I would imagine that getting hit with a high number of viruses shortly after recovery could cause some issues but I'm just an observer in all of this.
My story is that at the end of October I flew from SFO and on the way home I felt sick to my stomach (probably food poisoning), but about 5 weeks later in December I was having some pretty severe breathing issues, like it was cut in half and no other symptoms I could identify. It was attributed to anxiety by my doctor and a few days later I felt okay. Then at the beginning of the year in January it hit again and has been hitting me on a monthly cycle with diminished severity. In fact I’m feeling it again today after feeling totally fine for weeks. I don’t know if its Covid because I was never tested for the disease or the antibodies but it was And is a strange feeling unlike anything I’ve felt. Like wearing an extremely tight turtleneck. I wonder after reading these accounts if this disease is a chronic illness that lives in your circulatory system. Is there anything known about this?
Unless their investors believe in a V-shaped recovery afterwards, and are willing to spend money now to gain market space from competitors who would die in the meantime.

Seems to be the case here. Regardless of the author's educational background, kudos to them for continuing to dive deeper into the math.

In the UK there is a lot of payroll being paid by central government, plus there are interest free loans for small businesses.

This is very good on the surface, however, there is a large chunk of wealth going to the rentier class. The rentseekers were encouraged under successive Tory and New Labour governments with schemes such as 'buy to let'. Now they are the only truly protected sector of society. The rich get richer.

> Scale and Money

This is too simple of an answer. By these metrics Google+ would be a success. Also, the total funding amound of DDG is 13M (see Crunchbase). While that is serious money, that's not series D money.

Moreover, there are counterexamples of companies that did build an app in a relatively short amount of time, kept a small team and made millions per employee. I don't know of many [1], but I think WuFoo is an interesting example, founded in 2006 while SurveyMonkey was founded in 1999. WuFoo exited for 35 million in 2011 with a team of 9, I think (there's a YC YouTube video about this somewhere).

Disclaimer: I'm an armchair quarterback.

[1] I don't know of many tech companies in general.
Also known as virtue signaling. I am sure it is helpful to all those laid off people to know there are readers on Hacker News talking about them.
I share your skepticism.

Now, since you appear to know about these things, among all the available papers/article/blogposts/books is there any that you would recommend as being less wrong than the rest? For example, a while ago I read this book [1], and it didn't seem so bad, but I'm not in the industry. Can you recommend anything, even with caveats?

If AWS was such a logical consolidation why has Amazon such a big market share of the cloud and can even Google & Microsoft barely catchup with the innovation?

Did you ever speak to an engineer working at Amazon or is this some feeling you have??

I talked to Werner a couple of times and everything he told me disputes your personal assumptions.

The commoditization of logistic and compute infrastructure is real innovation although it looks like consolidation from the outside.

The "I could build it in a weekend" is certainly one extreme, but I think even people who say "I could build Google in 3 months" (or even 6 months, or a year), just don't get it.

And yes, there are actually a decent amount of people who say, literally, "I could build that in a weekend". Not sure how many people say that about Google, specifically, but it comes up often enough. This post was also from 2016, and I do feel like it used to come up more often in years past than it does now.

> Many standard library functions return a pointer which they got as a parameter

Obviously. But this does not extend the lifetime of the buffer they are passed. Namely you can't use this as a technique to extend the life of automatic storage falling out of scope.

> Lifetimes of compound literals are specified in section 6.5.2.5 of both C99 and C11.

This is what I was missing. So it is valid by the standard. Which is good if you have looked it up. It remains not obvious when reading source without a copy of the standard on hand, or prior knowledge of that section. Passing an expression of that sort and keeping a pointer to it visually looks like the intent is to retain a pointer of more limited scope. Intuitively it would make just as much sense if the lifetime were shorter. If you are seeking clarity of intent this is not a great thing to rely upon.

If they haven't tested this in actual trades and measured results, it's probably worthless. Even backtested strategies at actual firms observe decays (or don't work) when they get put live. And those are places where they invest in (and are incentivized to get right!) backtesting methodology.

Poor design. Sharing code between microsercices is always a design smell.

You are just building services on top of another monolith...

Sounds like you needed to abstract the work being send to the worker, instead of abstracting the worker around the work.

Meaning don't have many workers for one payload type. Abstract the payload and have a single worker...

That's why most systems become complex and spaghetti. Poor abstraction, so you use shared code to fix it...
Except there are several videos and no need for me to click each one to find out what the output eventually looks like.
You seem to think that Illinois, New Jersey and the lot must be in a great fiscal situation because they are "net contributors". As I explained in another comment, the money these states "receive" is mostly payments to individuals and has little meaning to their state budgets.

Paying out a lot more to the federal government than they receive back does not mean these states are doing well and others poorly. It really just a natural consequence of having a lot of high earners in a progressive tax system. The states in question have been racking up huge amounts of debt and/or have underfunded pensions funds, which is why they are consistently ranked lowly in terms of fiscal health. I am a little surprised you had you not heard of the financial problems coming out of Illinois, New Jersey and the like? There's even a dedicated Wikipedia article:

Rates are low now but it will take time for this to get reflected in VC/PE/corporate dollars to invest. The addressable market of consumers/enterprises that are willing to spend money on non-essential products/services is down and will drop further since budgets are being tightened and fat is being cut. The 2008 unicorns that were born out of the last recession had to provide oversized returns to investors based on them addressing needs well beyond what cash-strapped consumers/enterprises were willing to spend on. We're in for a ride.
I think I can understand a kernel of what is being suggested here and I think its based on the idea of proportion. Silicon Valley represents the largest aggregations of human and financial capital ever seen, but for all of that investment and energy how much do we have to show aside from a video chat app and e-commerce? I'm not arguing for or against but just trying to understand some part of the sentiment in the context of a crisis.
