The oldest joke on Wall Street, or so they say.
I think part of the strategy here is to minimize the perception of risk associated with the disease and fact that it's preventable/manageable but at a cost to the current economic structure we have.

If labor in the US begins to normalize or minimize the perception of risk of death associated with COVID as just another threat "out of their control" (now proven not to be the case), they'll continue working and producing as before--e.g. like risks associated with car fatalities, seasonal flu, heart disease/obesity/diabetes deaths largely influenced by sedentary lifestyles, etc.

Bob and Alice go to work, Bob contracts COVID, has serious illness, and dies two weeks later. Alice and friends are fine and give a moment of silence, "well, that's just the way things are, what could we do?", then continue on, just like we do every day. It's not until you're directly effected do you seem to care about other's lives, pretty terrible way to live IMHO.

A potential sideflip is that the gamble doesn't work and people start dying, perception doesn't shift, and a social, political, and cultural revolution take place resulting in demands for significant changes for labor rights in the US. I don't see that happening though.

I think the divide we're seeing about this lockdown is that people are really growing tired of their precarious situations (housing, food, essentially things tied to finances and necessary debts to survive) created by business trends and are starting to internalize just how little employers really care about them, regardless of the nearly insulting propaganda/advertisements about appreciation for front line workers.

They're being exploited, putting their lives at risk, and a few folks are profiting drastically off of it while propping these people up as heroes in marketing campaigns when many pretty much have to continue if they don't want to go into financial ruin (effecting critical life needs like housing, food, health insurance,, some ability to do things they want to do...happiness).

The worst part is that it's not just businesses. This culture of transactional relationships and financial focus we've allowed to permeate everything from friendships, family, community, etc. has brought out the absolute worst in people. Some of those mostly unaffected, working remote, continuing with gainful employment are showing they too want their transactional culture to continue. "I don't care about your life, I want my haircut." Some on the other hand don't have money and realize its necessary to survive so they blame the government lockdown for their precarious financial situation when its really the highly leveraged labor market the US created that's at fault.

It's pretty disgusting all around.
Everyone has equal access, but that doesn't imply we ever have to trust anyone that uses or creates free software. You're free to make it, we're free to never use it and not trust you, and if there's anything of value, we'll ensure it gets into the hands of people we trust, and not you. (The use of 'you' here is in the imaginary 3rd person, not you specifically).
Anything positive can be called a PR move if you’re cynical enough.
yeah, that's why in an average on-prem setup you usually would have firewalls, DMZs, IDS/IPS and all the good stuff - and people have been doing on-prem security for decades and accumulated an enormous wealth of knowledge and practice.

in cloud - it all new. people are still figuring out how to deploy their software so that it works both for users and developers. That's why on average onprem is more secure than cloud.
And collectively, Torontonians breath a sigh relief
I agree, though sites like CNN do work really hard to make the ads look just like their other articles. It's similar to how advertising on search has become so much less distinct from organic results (if you even get any on the page now).

Why do we even consult economists when it comes to a pandemic response? Economics is already provably not great at doing its core task.

Don't ask economists how to manage a pandemic. Listen to the epidemiologists. Consult the economists to determine how much money is needed to keep people fed and sheltered until the epidemiologists say that the threat will be passed.

*I'm stereotyping economists here, but they've participated in too many conversations I've witnessed where they wade well out of their bubble of relevance. I read this somewhere on HN once, and it stuck with me: know what you're being asked to be an expert on. Economists aren't experts on infectious diseases. Fuck off, you're killing people.

My humble apologies to the majority of economists that aren't megalomaniacs like the ones they seem to find for TV interviews and Government advisor roles.
This is not talked about enough. We frequently ask whether it's too complex, but that assumes the objective is even sound.

Anyone who has done significant work on a full scale SPA using any framework (or no framework) would have to weigh whether it was worth it. And that's on two levels: 1) Was the additional effort and complexity worth it for the perceived improvements in user experience that were sought? And 2) were there actually any such improvements or, even, is the user experience actually worse as a result?

Because I have to say that I'm not convinced. There does seem to be a period when AJAX first became a thing wherein the added responsiveness gained from judicious use of dynamic operations with partial page updates improved the experience over full page reloads exclusively.

Then, someone said, "hey, if that's cool, then why don't we make the whole thing dynamic, fighting Web semantics (and standard browser behavior like back buttons and history) every step of the way?

Not so sure that's a good premise or has led to a good result.

I find it really naive to treat science like some kind of objective methodology that can output unbiased data. Its complete fantasy.

"Science" is much more of a set of institutions and social regard for those institutions than an objective methodology. We often just want to throw money and scientists at an issue, and get out good "science" but thats like managers hiring 50% more programmers for 50% better/more code, we know the details are what matters.

At the end of the day, "science" in the real world is a lot of professor vying for tenure, caught in publish or perish, funding coming from self-preserving institutions, and a bunch of overworked grad students. Its a lot of companies making a buck, too.

Everything is political! Everything. If you see something like science, religion, art, anything as apolitical, that probably means its just reinforcing prevailing politics.

Check out Anarchistic Epistemology if this idea is of any interest.

> IQ is one of the few actually, and maybe THE most robust and measurable dimensions in humans that psychology has come up with.

IQ is the most robust psychometric (with the Big 5 personality being the only real contender), but that is largely because psychometrics in general are not robust. It's a one-eyed man in the land of the blind kind of scenario.

The first big issue you run into with IQ is that... as far as we understand intelligence in psychology, there isn't a single number that can be reflected as IQ. The closest we come is a "g factor" that influences all other types of intelligence, and is somewhat circularly defined as the correlation between all of the different intelligence metrics.
Sia founder here. The hashing algorithm we use is blake2b. Definitely secure.

We do probabilistic proofs, so we have the host provide us a small random sampling of actual data (so the host can't rely on precomputing), plus a proof that this actual data is what the contract says the host should be storing.

> Is your argument that we should then give up, force people to go back to work and die? That’s a hilarious failure of imagination; are there actually 0 other solutions?

> We can do way better than this line of reasoning

This is a strawman, because opening the economy does not include "force people to go back to work and die".

The demonstration of this frankly juvenile reasoning is why I stated please don't go off-topic, because you clearly want to change the topic away from people who are being blocked from feeding themselves.

Please make an attempt to address the topic.
That's probably why Zoom is buying them, to double down on security and repair their reputation. They genuinely seem to be putting all their focus on improving security. Seems like a smart buy to me.

For Steam, NixOS actually builds a full FHS with all the packages from SteamOS and then runs Steam within that using a simple chroot.
It works surprisingly well and can also be used for stubborn software that cannot work without FHS and without messing up the rest of your system.

Not sure why people keep saying things like this.

The truth is that sharing money in the same way we share messages and images (i.e. chat) is a good idea, and in my opinion is absolutely inevitable.

Now we don't have to do that via cryptocurrency, but the reason we don't already have it in the west is because it's a coordination problem, and there are entrenched interests that won't care about giving the user a good experience until forced to by competition. Cryptocurrency lets you avoid that problem, and given that it is entirely around managing keys, it's a very natural fit for KeyBase.

I thought the integration into keybase chat was genius, and the user experience of transferring money in that way was much better than anything traditional banking has ever offered me.
As a resident of a former communist country I can tell you, from my country experience, that labor is definitely not enough to create any value. You need two other things:

1. Savings which you can use as a capital to improve the efficiency of labor - think buying tools before you start working.

2. Proper organization of work, which is the task of entrepreneurs. Without them people can work hard and produce no value at all. It happens everywhere in the world today, where some bureaucrats get the power to decide what people should do. It happened a lot in all communist countries, where large parts of people's effort were under their control.

If people's labor was everything you need to create value, then why are people in North Korea starving? Do you suggest that they don't work hard enough?

Not for me. When there are low-advertisement brands available, I tend to pick those because less of the revenue I give them goes into advertising. I potentially get a higher value product, and I make the world a better place by voting with my money to discourage aggressive advertising. Nike fosters fanaticism around its products and has long been on the unofficial boycotts list for me.

Good online advertisement is very effective.

My friend worked in online gaming, similar to Zynga. Their strength wasn't in the games itself, because they mostly ripped off other games. It was in their advertising channel. They had around 10M active users and whenever they had a new game out, they would advertise it to their existing customers, and they would get instant users for their new games. Not 100% conversion, but enough to get traction.

By having their own home-grown advertising network, they didn't have to spend money on Google or Facebook ads, the could just milk their existing channel. I think things like this are pretty effective once you have things up and running, because it's free.
I did not argue that. I like their current efforts. But as with most things, best predictor of what people do is checking what they have done in the past. In this case, they have attempted to capture an emerging competing OS and effectively destroy it. I would be silly for me to simply forget the past.

They have access. I am not arguing against it. I have memory of what they have done. Should I just forget it?
I'm not sure what you're referring to as "the science". People who disagree with stay at home orders largely acknowledge that staying at home makes it harder for infectious diseases to spread. If you're saying doctors and scientists have cooked up a master plan that will eliminate the coronavirus if we just stay home a bit longer and catastrophically fail if restrictions are loosened at all, I don't think that's true.
>Absolute bullshit.

You just don’t like my response so instead of responding to me you chastise me and call me names. It seems a bit ironic to do such a thing by calling me “juvenile.”

I tend not to enjoy discussions where the other party mandates what I can and cannot talk about; I would assume most people feel the same way. I don’t have to discuss the extremely narrow view you have; you cannot my force my views.

Tell the NYC transportation workers who died that going to work isn’t a life or death situation. It would seem to me that people are being blocked from spreading a virus that kills people. I’m willing to bet that the “greatest country in the world” can figure out how to feed its population without sending them into grave danger. Again, though, these solutions do need imagination.

The post is interesting. The only thing that bugs me is that it only covers companies with well established names and/or products.

It would be interesting to know the conclusion for small companies and or startup products. Being on top of a search is so hard, maybe impossible (except if someone knows exactly what it searches, like the company or product name).
> The problem is that the outcome of some campaigns doesn't reflect in dollars, and still you have a winning campaign.

All winning campaigns reflect in dollars. The question is when. That's why it's imperative to separate markets entirely.

Radio ads for a "branding/awareness" strategy. Search ads for a direct response strategy. The majority of people viewing/hearing one should never hear/view the other.

If it takes 6 months to properly test a branding campaign, decide ahead of time whether your organization has the patience to wait. If not, just stick with direct response.

‘I’ve met thousands of Torontonians from all over the city, excited by the possibility of making urban life better for everyone.’

This is simply not true, in my experience as a Torontonian. The overall opinion of this project was incredibly low, from at least dozens of people it’s come up with - at work, at events, with friends - if anything, there’ll be a lot of people happy to hear this. There were even questions as to why our tax dollars would even support this when we’ve got issues like homelessness, etc. As Forbes said, it was ‘tech for tech’s sake’.

Forbes:
‘In June of 2019, Sidewalk’s master plan was released, eliciting a barrage of controversy around privacy and participation.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association initiated a lawsuit against local, provincial and federal government over data privacy concerns. Vice called the proposal a “democracy grenade“.‘

Have to give it to Matrix devs. Despite various roadblocks, they have finally delivered the holy trinity of messaging systems: Encryption, Federation and not-terrible design.

Great UX will take more contributors: both developers and designers. I hope more of us here adopt it ourselves first. The ability to have bridges to existing chat systems like IRC, Slack, Gitter etc sounds quite useful.
Sure! The idea is that each proprietary project is wasting effort implementing their own clones of everyone else's software. To use your example, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Yandex etc etc are all developing their own search engines. Instead they could all be contributing to one search engine to push the state of search engine software forward, instead of all spinning their wheels re-doing what everyone else is doing. How many devs are employed doing what someone else in some other company has already done? That's the broken window: someone else has already done the work, but it must be wastefully re-done because of the license. There's a lot of room for profit in all that extra waste.
Maybe I'm crazy but I'm not sure all that security makes things more secure than the cloud.
