>Carmakers are also defined as a COVID19 critical industry, and every other carmaker manufacturing in the United States is either open, or capable of open today. This puts Tesla at a serious disadvantage.

So locking down is just "locking down", but arbitrarily classifying car building as essential during a massive economic downtown is a-okay with you? Seems reasonable.

>and every other carmaker manufacturing in the United States is either open, or capable of open today.

Wrong, many are opening on May 18th, which is when the government of CA would have opened Tesla. They couldn't wait 10 days.

>This puts Tesla at a serious disadvantage.

First of all, what does the health of the public have to do with the fairness of car competition?

Second, I thought Tesla had unlimited money and unlimited demand? What's the issue if they're closed for a few weeks?
it's his 6th kid. He should know how to deal with that by now.
You're making some assumptions here and taking third-hand information as gospel. It depends on what "generous" means in fact, how much notice they were given, and their prospects or help to get other jobs in a job climate that is worse than the Great Depression. What if it were you?
the jobs ends if you can’t open. the job ends if you refuse to go to work too. same result either way, which is why many of these businesses are not as awful as they seem.
A similar idea forms the background to Karl Schroeder's novel _Permanence_.
Not sure why you are downvoted.

Its likely there wont ever be an effective vaccine and folks seem to want to quarantine us until that happens.

At some point people are going to have to be exposed
There are other manufacturing businesses in California, and plenty of public activity in general. I find it strange to see the local Costco crowded with people, no gloves or distancing and only some masks while a giant factory with clear procedures is supposedly a risk.
What did I claim?
Important to note that the 2 metre distance applies to people who are standing still or walking normally.

As soon as they start working, running, cycling, singing, etc the distance has to increase.

We've seen video of Tesla employees wearing PPE (the ventilator video) and every single person in the video made multiple errors.

(I don't hate Musk, and it is weird how he's so polarising).
If you mean the 'video unavailable' message: changing to a normal YouTube URL instead of an embed fixed that for the couple I tried.
I feel like any employee who is under 50 years old, does not have any comorbidities, and whos cohabitants do not have any comorbidities should be able to work because the risk then really is flu like.
Yes, this is the basic idea. Tokens from the lexer, AST nodes, basic blocks, control and data-flow graph nodes + edges can all be entities and/or components of entities, depending on how you wish to structure your data. Since a 32-bit entity ID provides a sufficiently large "address space", you get the added benefit of only needing to store 4-byte handles instead of 8-byte pointers.

EnTT has an eventing system as well. These can be triggered in various ways (entity created, entity deleted, component assigned/removed, etc). I've used eventing to control fine-grained compilation pipelines. For example a recent scheme compiler I wrote used events to simplify inlining (both define-macro/define-syntax and straight procedure inlining) and quote/quasi-quote/unquote/unquote-splicing translation.

If you spend a lot of time writing compilers, I find an ECS like EnTT can give you extra flexibility during the design/prototype phase. Try it out on a simple prototype and see if you like it.
I am generally in approval of CA government's handling in this pandemic, however, I don't think there is value in waiting any longer for reopening to start.

Why? To me it is obvious that the pandemic won't stopping from spreading at the end of May. And the nation level self-quarantine/shelter-in-place order now, is now failed and discarded by the many state government and federal government alike.

Keep closing at this point feels pointless and endless, and it won't resolve the situation at all.
You should. Australia's had much better coronavirus outcomes than the US has:

The US has a lot to learn from both Australia and New Zealand.
Are you familiar with the idiom "cherry on top"? There were two much more important reasons before that one. If you want to defend your comment, start with those.

And if you were correctly representing the Medium article, then it's still a bad argument for the reason I gave. I would recommend using a different argument, or finding a more correct point to draw from that article.

But then, as mentioned before, you were still blowing up a tangential, non-central point (whether bitcoin is "a currency"), and that still makes it an unhelpful comment, for making the point there. The comment would have communicated just about the same thing if it said, "bitcoin's value, like any financial asset, is determined by the market"; nothing in the comment was making major inferences specifically from bitcoin's status as a currency.
He had worked in Texas so it seems appropriate that he should have had fans there.
Why is that in quotes?

Globally, politicians are not out to get you, frankly my prime minister was dead set against locking down (for economic reasons) but when the forecasts came in he relented very viscerally. You have to understand on some level that nearly every government (with the notable exception of Sweden) has reacted similarly to this pandemic.

The Economic impact of the increased deaths of this magnitude (and second factors such as normally preventable deaths which are not handled due to an over-capacity health system) would cause such economic upheaval that society might break down.

From the most self-serving politician to the most charitable; one thing they will agree on is to maintain the status quo in some form and that is put at risk if we reach 1918 levels of deaths (or higher).

I highly recommend the Dark Winter study by Johns Hopkins[0], it's exceptionally well researched and goes into detail about how fragile we've built the world to be.

For example: "Just-in-time" is the latest incarnation of capitalist efficiency that leaves very little capacity to function if there is a large disruption.

The test largely focused on an intentional outbreak of smallpox, but they wrote extensively about variable mortality and the r-naught value and how the effects work when you slide those scales.

It's frustrating there are no real details on this. From one article:

> Alameda County officials said they were "communicating directly and working closely with the Tesla team on the ground in Fremont" in a "collaborative, good faith effort to develop and implement a safety plan" to reopen while protecting workers' health. Meanwhile, Tesla sued the county, claiming it had no legal right to shut down the plant... Alameda County says it is expecting Tesla to submit its safety plan for approval, and that until that approval the company cannot resume normal production. [1]

On the one hand, at face value (and based on his previous words/actions), it appears like Elon's being uncooperative for the sake of it -- that he could have reopened anyways if he'd just chosen to work together with the county, instead of demanding his own way based on the principle of the thing. His stubborness is just a terrible way to do business.

On the other hand, we also don't know if the county was demanding unreasonable things, delaying re-opening as payback for Elon's previous tempertantrums (or other reasons), or why it's not just "going along" with the more general state-wide opening. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any reporting whatsoever at that level of nuance.

I can only speak for San Francisco (and to a lesser extent the Bay Area): we do have workable numbers at this point. Approximately 150 new cases reported per day and declining. Our testing is also ramping up relatively quickly, especially in SF, and so is training for contact tracers. The mayor is planning for mid-May to start reopening, as a result of these numbers.

agreed. the building handyman tries to bullshit me out of doing work on my apartment, or at least to cheap out on the quality of the work. he gets mad at me for outmaneuvering him into better (but not the best) solutions.

he has only himself to blame for being so bad at bullshit. if he were better at it, i might not have any room to object. but i'm offended that he thinks his bs is any good, and i do object. every time. out of principle.
For the video and audio content. Could they take advantage of something like Webtorrent.
Wikipedia is a good source too, at least for the countries I've been following.
For-profit corporations without employee ownership and regular employees on the board of directors will inevitably treat employees like disposable cogs or dirt. The mistake many people repeatedly make is the line-up to be abused when they should form their own business ventures with civilized, humane, and Golden Rule treatment of others rather than rent-seeking investors to squeeze blood money out of them and cheat them out of livable wages.

High likelihood of causing an outbreak...? Not sure how you're reaching that conclusion. Their stated approach seems much safer and more conservative than any grocery or retail store currently IMO.
Idk exactly what the poster meant but an impulse is broadband, theoretically encompassing all frequencies representable in the host sampling rate.
Are they buying increased long term disability insurance for the employees, insurance that covers respirator illness?

Because that matters a lot more to the people that are inevitably going to be impacted than the statistics about how big the factory is.
There may be a financial incentive for hospitals, but hospitals don't mark these deaths, doctors do. I think it at the very least borders on a conspiracy theory to suggest that doctors are making a coordinated effort to falsely label deaths as COVID related.

There may be cases where people get mislabeled (it's hard to determine what the exact source of death is, especially since COVID doesn't kill directly), but I would be hesitant to ascribe intentional mislabel to people.
>While we're not hit as bad

We are not hit as bad because of the actions of the government who has issued the shelter-in-place before NY did, when we had 1/10th the rate of infection.

I don't agree with everything the government does, but let's give credit where credit is due. That we were not hit as bad is not coincidental.

That give, I'm perfectly willing to cut them some slack.
I really think that the word "billionaire" needs to stop being used as a bad word.

Billionaires are citizens too. They are bound (imperfectly) by laws. Therefore they too encounter situations where practicing civil disobedience makes sense.
Ethereum POS has been coming soon for a long time. It would be good to see it happen.
Digging in on the Home Depot should be closed narrative. In the event that my home needs repairs, how should I be able to do so if you close down stores like Home Depot? Even if you suggest that someone should go through a contractor instead of fixing their own broken plumbing or a leaky roof, where do you think most of the contractors get their supplies?
>What's the issue if they're closed for a few weeks?

If you think a few weeks is all its going to take you arent paying attention to the lack of testing capacity or the lack of a viable vaccine.

6 months minimum and likely 18 months is how long things will take to get testing or a vaccine in place ( if one is actually viable )

How many weeks have already passed ?

Well, then government should just forbid socializing, while still kept beaches, parks open.

In Czechia, there was stay-at-home order since half of march, but one of few exceptions was movement in parks or nature. But with face masks, no socializing and keeping 2m distance from others.

You live in a county with a democratically elected representative government. If you manage to convince most of your peers that you (and Musk) are right, you get to set the conditions of the health order by electing whoever you please. Otherwise, you have to deal with the democratic result, within the bounds of the US and CA Constitutions.
I could start a company without my cofounder. I already have plans to do so, but I won’t use the same business idea or IP. I have a different vision (hence our conflict to start with). I agreed he could keep the IP and I would be free to do something else, in exchange of a ‘buy out’. But after 6months of negation he kept adding new terms to the buyout and the last one, to which I couldn’t agree, were very restrictive covenants of 24 months. His argument was that he didn’t want to let me use his money to start my own business in competition with him.
I could approach the same investors, but with something new, something fresh.
The IP is mine, and my plan is to license it to another business at this stage.

Yeah, agreed. React and JSX really shines with a good component library, and the key word with react is composable. I don't know that, by itself, better syntax for HTML-in-JS would advance the state of the art. Instead of having divs and spans everywhere, they're an implementation detail of components.

I can change

<leftPanel>
<userInfo>
</leftPanel>
<rightPanel>
<medicationsPanel>
</rightPanel>

to

<topBar>
<userInfo>
</topBar>
<leftPanel>
<medicationsPanel>
</leftPanel>

Without having to know what html+css tricks topBar is doing under the hood.

Inside of medicationsPanel, there's <medicationsList> which is the `ul`.

<ul>
{medications.map(m => {
<medicationListItem item=m />
})}
</ul>

medicationListItem has the `<li>`, with the styling living somewhere inside. Templates, especially in separate files, don't really manage to be composable with the same ease. Leaving the divs and spans and CSS to the lowest levels of the component library does wonders for making the code easier to reason about, and maintain. React code from a few years ago still has some warts, but it's still way less painful to try and pick up than code that was written with traditional templating. (Specifically, the templated project was using `.erb` files.)

React threw out MVC and templates (though some say it's just the V instead), and is worth learning just to feel like it's possible to implement UIs cleanly.
Most of the criticisms seem to be around the -coin and -currency monikers, not noticing those are skeuomorphs.

People get seem that it is an asset, but confuse themselves over its monetary branding instead of what people can and do with it.

Many do then move the goal post to "there is no demand or intrinsic value", which may more easily retain durable consensus with them, even though most of the criticisms elevate this asset class to a standard higher than any individual asset class in existence. But still related to the exchange rate, instead of what people can and do with it.
If Tesla cannot properly account for safety pre-covid, why should they be trusted to properly account for safety post covid? Especially when the guy insisting on opening the factory has been downplaying the risk of covid consistently from the beginning ("The coronavirus panic is dumb", "Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April", etc.)
"Should" generally gets read as moral, especially when you bring in a comparison to lying, which is clearly a moral issue.
Cars are very, very often sold using sex or sexually appealing stereotypes. Hardly anyone in most cities had a truck like this. Now loads of people do, because they were told by advertising people that it would be a good idea. It was not the purchasers idea to create this car.

And all at a time of pollution as a huge problem.
The Logan Act has literally never resulted in a prosecution. Got one indictment though, in the 19th century.
Exactly. And that's why it's important to remember that CA governor has issued as shelter-in-place order ahead of NY, while we had a 1/10X infection rate, which more than halved the slope of growth on the log scale.

How do you know they have any? In order to have any semblance of legitimacy Tether needs to complete and publish the audit they promised every 6 months for 5 years.

Currently, based on their own website, the limiting factor is that their auditors only publish their reports in Mandarin, so there's literally nothing they could possibly do to release them. Even though those same auditors happily published attestations in English [1]. Before they were fired, and replaced with Friedman LLP, who quit.

All very cool, and very legal.

An eavesdropper who overhears a password just has the password, but an eavesdropper who overhears a hash and a salt now has to run a dictionary attack which might only have a 99% chance of recovering the password.

In the first case, there's a 100% chance of the password being compromised, but in the second an attacker has to spend resources on cracking a password, and there's still a small chance that they're unable to crack it. The second case seems like a clear winner (I could still be missing something).

I sold at BTC$17000, thanks.

The only thing Bitcoin is worth is what someone is willing to pay you for it since it has no, you know, underlying value. If that number is determined substantially by manipulators, well, what good is it? It may as well say "In Giancarlo Devasini [1] We Trust" on it.

The "monetary property" it possesses is defined in Tethers. You can send them back and forth all day but if you have no baseline of what it can be exchanged for, I can just move lines in my spreadsheet back and forth too. That's not a "monetary quality."

> His fans seem to think he is some kind of genius, but based on what he has said about COVID he doesn't really seem that smart, or at least not well informed at all.

We can make an argument about under reporting, over reporting and so on. I wouldn't call either conspiracy theory, clearly both is going on, the question is the relative numbers. I agree that under-reporting is probable higher.

If you listen to the totality of his comments on the Joe Rogan podcast it is quite reasonable. Yes, his is clearly more libertarian then most of the California but people who are totally over-reacting to a few tweets and are literally flipping out and writing comments of hate and insults about him are really the people making fools of them selves. Or comment that basically say all he does is just for greed, and the typical anti all rich people socialist rhetoric is not convincing to me.

As for me, I don't think he handled this COVID situation very well. And with the amount of Twitter follower he has, in this situation to tweet like that was guaranteed to cause a huge shit-storm.

I know he is a genius because he is the Chief Engineer on the most successful rocket company in the world. Those that call him a business man or a marking guy clearly have not payed attention to how SpaceX happened and what his role there is. Doesn't mean he is right on every issue.
Why is this inside knowledge? Why does the government not tell people what is in the pipeline?

Nelson Mandela had questionable means, but no one has a leg to stand on to critique his goal. As for people in gangs, there is a difference between a criminal and a Nazi terrorist.

Let's not defeat by analogy here. He was not a guerilla fighter that assassinated people in order to stop an oppressive regime. He was not a run of the mill criminal.

He was part of an operation to kill Jews, because they were Jews, in an attempt to bring upon genocide and misery. This is not a philosophical question; it is a question of experience. In different places of the world, your hear a very good argument that he's the only kind of criminal that deserves the death sentence, possibly the most heinous type of person imaginable.
