The asset value underlying an ETF can be negative, but then the owner of the ETF will just have a worthless piece of paper. The ETF managers will have a problem on their hands regarding the negative amount, though.

In contrast, a futures contract is an agreement to make a future trade, so it can keep going against you past 0. If you are able to take physical delivery, your worst-case scenario is that you pay the money you said you would, and you get your oil. But if you are a casual day-trader type, you probably don't have the ability to take physical, so you may be in trouble (over a barrel, literally).

I agree with you about the dangers of ETFs and about knowledgeability. I didn't mean to advocate for ETFs on an absolute basis, just to make a relative statement about them vs. futures.

>> No one's saying it's not bad. At least I'm not. It's just a lot less bad than what we were told 3 months ago.

It's a lot less bad than it was estimated 3 months ago because most states understood the severity of the situation and hunkered down as much as they could.

>> that we've been so successful in flattening the curve (and scaring people from going out, including to the hospital for critical treatment), that we've overshot our goal to the point of doing more damage than good

Our "deaths per day" number averages 2000. I don't know how this can be remotely perceived as some sort of massive success other than relative to the original estimates that were based on doing nothing.

Incredible? HN has horrific usability.

Good luck knowing when people respond to your comments. Searching takes you to a completely different website. You can't delete comments (which should be a basic privacy ask from this crowd). Click targets are incredibly small.

It took years of begging for them to even implement collapsing comments. And for some reason they put it on the right side (not lined up with the tree level), and made it a super small click target.

A couple others have mentioned shell tricks. One of my favorites is using Alt-. (in Bash and Zsh) to insert the last argument of the previous command. Press it multiple times and it will cycle through the last argument of all previous commands. It's great for when you want to, say, `ls thing` and then `vim thing`.

Yesterday I went looking for a similar key that would insert a copy of the last argument on the current line, like for when you want to copy or rename a file to a similar name in the same directory, as in `cp some/long/path/to/foo.txt some/long/path/to/foo2.txt`.

I couldn't find a command for this, so I made my own Zsh "widget" and bound it to Alt-/ so now I can type `cp some/long/path/to/foo.txt` and hit Alt-/ to prefill the second arg. I put the code for it up here: https://gist.github.com/dceddia/0a45a88dd61cbdf1be023d0a8f15...

3) We were wrong about the kinds of people who were going to catch this (e.g. poor folks, people of color, people in nursing homes, prisoners, people who work jobs they can't freely leave in meatpacking plants), who while they'll fill up a coffin just the same as anybody...

Clarification, I'm the one of the maintainers of Oragono [1], an IRCv3 server project, but I don't speak for IRCv3 as a whole. In fact, I think my take is somewhat controversial in the IRCv3 community. But here goes:

1. Most of the big problems with IRC as a protocol (nicknames, ghosting, missed messages) come from the assumption that the core of the network should be stateless. If the core of the network is stateless, you can't have nickname reservation, you can't transparently attach two clients to the same nickname, and you can't replay missed messages to people who were disconnected (hence the need for clients to maintain a TCP connection to the server at all times, hence netsplits being disruptive, etc.).

2. Conventional IRC setups solve some of these problems by adding a single privileged node, the "services framework" (Anope and Atheme are examples), that stores some persistent state (typically, nickname and channel reservations). This actually abandons the high-availability properties of the original IRC design: it is theoretically possible to design a highly available services framework (using a clustered database or whatever) but AFAICT none of the frameworks that currently exist are HA.

3. Oragono is a single instance that provides an integrated IRC server, services framework, and "bouncer" (history retention and playback). Client connectivity problems are solved by allowing transparent reattach to the original nickname after authentication with SASL, then automatically replaying history. (Client support for this is still patchy [2], but anything that supports znc.in/playback [3], like Textual, will work well; you can also configure Oragono to try and track what you missed and replay it on reconnection.)

4. To make Oragono highly available, it can be deployed in Kubernetes (virtualizing the embedded database file and the external IP, spinning up a replacement instance on failure).

You are wrong because - a) Risk of death among the sickest and weakest is way higher than the "normal", across all age groups. b) We do not know much about the virus. It appears to have strange trait of being more deadly if initial exposure was higher. In Russia, for example ~7% (!) of all Covid deaths are deaths of medical workers, many of them are relatively young and apparently healthy. c) We also do not know what are long term consequences of the disease, even if you survived it just fine.

There is a lot of pie-in-the-sky PR filler in the article, and it's very light on details. It likely is as simple as the article states, but probably not very revolutionary. At some point the learned model will cease to be useful.
The strengths of any programming language can also be their weaknesses, so there isn't really a "best" language.

Notice a language can't be everything. They're either too verbose, too terse/cryptic, or trade ease of development for lack of control/performance/efficiency.

IMO, C# strikes a good middle ground on such matters...
One thing I worry about with these extremely customized keyboard configs and such is that once you get used to them, you will have a hard time using any other computer when you suddenly need to. Maybe this isn't such a big problem with physical keyboards, but can be with e.g. text editor configs, which you can't take along if you need to SSH into many servers during a workday and work with whatever is installed there.
even long-term, it's tempting to think that synergies and market consolidation would lead to higher utilization rates through stacking (making multiple delveries at once), but indications from current players in the space are discouraging in that regard.

last-mile logistics is an exceedingly tough nut. i think it's really going to take a wholesale reconfiguration of cities around much more density and mixed-use where shared industrial kitchens and warehouses can make the synergies work out, but of course that's decades in the making.
That's a much better demo, but depending on your webcam size, it'll overlap on the controls and block you from changing the filters.

I can't honestly take this opinion seriously.

The problem is that - as currently structured - your ideology demands that another party enter into an exchange or agreement that they don't believe is beneficial to them.

I don't actually give a flying fuck whether the "developer" you've outlined in your post is right or wrong with their opinion. They have the right to make and sell the product they believe will benefit them the most. Could they be wrong? SURE! And if they're wrong often enough or long enough they usually go out of business (usually... some caveats here around monopolies/markets/regulation/etc).

So I'm not really sure why you see an ethics problem. If it truly is self-serving and invalid reasoning, why not put your money where your mouth is and do it better?

Basically - Step up or shut up.
What's going to change Jan. 1st? Nothing. I read this as the companies basically saying WFH in perpetuity till the corona virus ends. Or maybe that's just common sense I'm reading into a press release where I shouldn't be. The only question now becomes: if governors can shut down all businesses, why would they allow anyone who can WFH to go into the office and endanger others? At this point, we are definitely not ready to reopen safely, but a reopening will happen soon (next few months). Why risk more lives than necessary? I bet we will see this gamble though and thousands will die unnecessarily. Based on the plans Clearly, companies like Tesla show that you cannot leave this in corporate hands. How can governors be so shortsighted and callous with so many lives?
More Evidence Mounts That Covid-19 May Not Be Natural
> > Can we agree that whatever Jeff Bezos' hourly income is, it's many, many orders of magnitude more than $15/hour?

> Irrelevant, as they don't perform the same duty nor did they share the same risk. They're free to start their own companies if they think it's such a surefire way to guaranteed wealth.

Let's address this one part at a time:

1. No duty is worth what Bezos makes.

2. A surefire way to guaranteed wealth is to start with so much wealth that even if you lose all your investments, you're still wealthy and will continue to be for the rest of your life even if you never make money again. That's where Bezos was decades ago.

3. And while we're at it, yeah, let's empower poor people to start their own businesses. I.e. give people a standard of living where they might have money to risk to begin with. I.e. not $15/hour.

> I didn't say this, in fact, I said exactly what you said. I'm seeing talk that is 99% Amazon and 1%... everyone else. And that's being generous. I can't remember the last time I saw a headline that talked about these issues elsewhere even though the comments always bring up plenty of alternative examples. How come we're okay with people that stock grocery stores to make $8? Is their job any less hard than boxing things up in an Amazon warehouse? There are way more grocery stores across the country than Amazon warehouses.

So basically, you agree with me except that you had to jump in to defend a poor defenseless multibillion dollar international company?

> If it were up to me, I would be directing all this effort to getting Congress to actually pass laws that force these companies to act right rather than begging Bezos to hand out a couple more biscuits. You know, that one tiny thing that representatives are supposed to do for their constituents: pass laws.

Great: why don't you do that instead of derailing any effort by jumping in to defend Amazon?

> There you go. The alternative is living on the street. Thank you, Amazon, for lifting people out of homelessness. For that noble deed, we're going to target you for not doing enough while everyone else gets a pass for not doing anything.

Dude, you're so set on diverting focus away from Amazon's wrong doing if Amazon literally stabbed someone you'd comment how it alleviated their high blood pressure.

Slave wage jobs are arguably better than homelessness, but you know what's even better than that? A society with an income distribution that makes a vague pretense of being proportionally meritocratic, and where are alternatives are better than homelessness and working for what pittances the rich deign to give us.

The chemistry is easily the most dangerous aspect for humans and safety protocols have been developed to match. Chances of exposure at the tool-level are probably zero (i.e. on the factory floor you see pictures of). If you are working with bulk chemicals (i.e. one of the support floor(s) below the factory floor), chances are probably higher that you could run into some exposure.

I would say that it is an extremely safe occupation, having worked previously at a major semiconductor manufacturing facility for a few years. A lot of the staff virtually never enter the cleanroom. I personally only ever went in there 3-4 times. The automation is nearly absolute, so most of the effort is spent making sure the computers are doing the right thing. Sending humans into the cleanroom is directly in conflict with the objective of realizing low defect rates, because people are walking particulate factories.

You may hedge your risk of prices of a different but related product.

E.g. a bread manufacturer wants stability on their cost of goods, so they may buy wheat futures even though they don't ever want to receive direct shipment of wheat, they're dealing with specific regional flour suppliers but the wheat futures at a major location are a good proxy for that price.
I wrote a Chinese Segmenter that is available on the web:

https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-english-pinyin-dictionary....

It does basic path finding, and then picks the best path based on the following rules:

1) Fewest words

2) Least variance in word length (e.g. prefer a 2,2 character split vs a 3-1 split)

3) Solo Freedom (this is based on corpus analysis which tags characters with a probability of being a 1 character word. For example 王家庭 (this is either "Wang Household" (王 家庭) or "Prince's courtyard" (王家 庭) and we split as Wang Household, because Wang 王 is a common name that frequently appears in isolation, and 庭 is less likely to be in isolation. It is interesting that solo freedom works better than comparing the corpus frequency of "Prince" 王家 vs "Household" 家庭.

It works reasonably well. A surprising number of people use it every day.
