No. That’s not what I meant. I said that a true feminist would want to fix the biological inequalities and not social inequalities. Hence feminism ..as we know it..is mostly fluff.

Having said that, I am in favour of genetically engineering the human species. If we are to be a space faring species, we will most certainly have to genetically alter the genome.

I don’t know if we can erase sexes. However, there will be a greater degree of feminization. The default gender is female. Y is a ..how you say..I want to call it a mutation.

Patriarchy..as the feminists call it..is just the mutation gone rogue.

I mean, when I worked at eBay in San Francisco, going around to bars after work -- more than once a week -- was the expected way to socialize with your coworkers. I didn't participate, but that meant I didn't connect to the rest of the team. I didn't find the idea that people in Germany do the same thing to be much of a stretch.
No, you couldn't.
Herd immunity will require between 60-80% of the population to be infected. At the bottom end of that scale it's 198M people. The IFR is roughly between .1% and 1%. The range for these deaths will be 198K to 1.98M. Fatalities. Hospitalization is roughly 5%, so between 1M and 10M hospitalizations with unknown long term effects.

Think of it this way; if 2/3rds need to become infected before this crap is over, don't you want to be in the 1/3 that doesn't risk death/hospitalization?

I work for twitch and I've seen that article before and it doesn't seem to fit the pattern of we messed with GC and it didn't fix out problem. The solution in the article uses weird features and behaviors of the golang GC and how VMs allocate memory but it did work very well for them.

The website is seen as SEO content first and trusted news source second (or third). Content marketing articles written for SEO keyword stuffing, e.g. https://www.chiefchicagolimo.com/blog/ When a brand new hackernews account posts this it's usually spam. Lock services, hairdressers, plumbing service directories get submitted by new accounts almost daily.

In my opinion, and I didn't flag it, it's not hackernews material.
Once I was turned away from entering into the Amazon physical bookstore 15 minutes before closing. I thought OK, I’d just go to Barns & Noble. The problem is Amazon the company is not like Barns & Noble.

I’m afraid of the ever real chance that one day, for somethings, the only convenient place to shop is an Amazon store and they have the power to turn people away and we won’t be able to get the stuff we want or need elsewhere.

On a related note, it’s depressing to be in a Whole Foods with Amazon Flex. Seeing another person like me, carrying their daughter and shopping for another family, hurrying from one aisle to another, makes me not very hopeful for the world where Amazon takes its Amazon-ness to its logical end.

There should be a Rural Broadbandification Project set into motion so everybody gets fiber. This also has the advantage that it requires lots of labor like digging ditches.

It also has the advantage that it would allow some of these high earners to move from turbo-high cost of living areas to much lower ones.

On the subject, you are making a good point comparing social behavior with mental activity. Just like there is no “magic” in the way people interact with each other, there is no magic in how neurons do the same.
Maybe you are at home and you need to sign something, but you don't have a printer and scanner because its 2020 and those are seldom needed. You can use this and move on with your life, or drive to a Kinkos or other place that will let you print and scan for a small fee. The latter may be a waste of time.

One time I was driving back from Boulder to New Orleans. I think this was somewhere on US-84 in Texas or I-25 in Colorado (I think the latter). My fan had conked out (my AC had quit on the leg in). After a few hundred miles of driving with the window down I saw Popeyes on the blue sign at the next exit and pulled off at the exit. The moment I turned left to cross the overpass and laid eyes on the Popeyes sign on the other side of the Interstate my fan croaked back to life. I call it Al Copeland's miracle.

Many of the people who are unemployed now will go back to work sometime in the next three months. The article is framing that three month timeline as closer to the end of the reopening process while many of the comments here, including yours, are framing that three month time frame as the start of the reopening effort.
Yeah, but most of the charts and graphs further down are per 100k, and the doubling rate for SoCal has tended to be much worse whenever I've checked the page. (I only bring it up because I've wondered on more than one occasion what might account for the difference.)

Fortunately, it seems to be leveling off somewhat, except for Santa Barbara. I really, really hope we can keep it that way.
The usage of ; as a hyper key is fascinating. This is the first time I've seen someone do something with Hammerspoon that's actually tempting me to try it out.

For paste blockers I've been using an Alfred workflow that types keys using AppleScript. It doesn't work with characters that require special input like ü, which is annoying, but it's sufficient for passwords. The benefit here is I'm not using up a global hotkey for such an infrequent use-case (especially not one actually used by other apps, such as Terminal.app).
The previous threads about covid have a large number of comments basically saying you can choose between saving lives or the economy. Anybody who suggested we should open up was accused of being greedy and wanted people to die to avoid being inconvenienced.
I stand corrected. Leaving my comment unedited so I suffer the embarrassment in perpetuity.

FWIW, the 14 day criteria is for moving from stage II to stage III (or quasi stage-III--it's a stage II "variance"). Stage III reopens places like gyms and movie theaters. But in stage II most places can open, including factories, so long as they maintain social distancing. Stage II appears to be where China, etc, are still at.
This is more evidence that the market clearing price for labor is irrational and inefficient.

Most workers are not compensated for (a) the surplus value they generate, or (b) the risk they bear in work activities.

This article goes to point (b). Point (a) is evident in [1], and is far more problematic as it leads to consolidated control over resources (physical and the ability to direct the daily activities of others).

I come to make money and build cool shit. Company provides money in trade of work. That’s it. Nothing more is owed or should feel obligated by saying that family shit.

That's interesting because I live in a country where it's the opposite, e.g still only essential services after 2 months, limited goods sold, ban on cigarette and alcohol sales, curfews for shopping.

Point is I think the opposite of what you're saying might happen here, i.e. regulations loosen and there's going to be a disproportionate number of exposures as a place not so tightly regulated
One project I did in AutoHotkey is JKLmouse. This is a "mouse keys" program that works on laptop keyboards. I wrote it specifically for ThinkPads, it's not as good on laptops that have clickpads instead of dedicated mouse buttons. (One of these days I will do something about that.)

If you run Windows on a ThinkPad or similar machine, and you ever wished you could have precise pixel-by-pixel mouse movement from the keyboard home row, try it out.

I think it's also a good example of some fairly well-written AutoHotkey code. (Please ignore the messed-up indentation in the SetKeyMap function... Time to add a .editorconfig file!)

I originally wrote JKLmouse as a native Windows app in C using keyboard hooks. But when I saw that I could do the same thing in AutoHotkey it was a big improvement.

This fits what I've been seeing. Road and sidewalk traffic is increasing, almost back up to normal levels.
This card is old (maybe Quick Sync was better than NVENC in those days) and Intel will always recommend their own chips over a competitor.
Cheap labor != slave labor. Different labor has different market value in different locations, and this is a result of a difference in standard of living.

> I assume it will continue forever in some form, although I'd expect where it happens will shift. Do you expect outsourcing to stop?

> I suppose one of my points is that resource extraction harms people without regard to whether or not they benefit from it, and that it doesn't seem like people benefit in proportion to how much it harms them. Further, the people who are benefiting the most from extracted resources tend to live far away from where it happens.

But on the flip side, standards of living are not static. The standard of living in Japan has increased, to the extent that it is no longer economical to outsource low-skill work there. China's standard of living is increasing, and it will eventually be as economical to outsource work to China as it is to outsource labor to Japan or Belgium.

Manufacturing will constantly move to the next poorest country, in perpetuity, seeking out the next cheapest labor pool until there is none left. The ensuing equilibrium would have globally high standards of living with diversified supply chains, with any concentration largely being a function of 1) access to natural resources, and 2) access to expertise. One could argue that this is a desirable end state...for everyone.

Note that "slave labor" is fundamentally different, and is also not unique to private corporations — even state actors have the capacity, and incentive to cut corners to deliver goods & services. Just like I would rather pay less in prices for goods & services, voters would rather pay less in taxes to state actors for the same. This is not an indictment of businesses, it's an indictment of slavery. It is entirely possible to compartmentalize that, and address it directly.

we'd clearly be waay better off with no organizations trying to figure out what's happening. The seattle flu study is a terrible thing (which started testing covid-19).

> "Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Linux quicker to support multithreading than Windows, largely because big megacorps needed that for their servers? "

Surely you jest. The other Unixes, including Microsoft Xenix, supported multithreading before either Windows NT or Linux even existed. Big megacorps in that era used Sun Microsystems ("The com in dotcom™") server and other proprietary Unix servers because both Windows NT and Linux on the x86 hardware of the time weren't considered good enough to handle megacorp server loads and that didn't change until around '00.

If you go strictly by release date, Linux 0.01 came out in '91 and Windows NT 3.1 came out in '93 so it's technically correct that Linux had multithreading first but neither Linux 0.95 (what would have been available in '93) nor NT 3.1 was exactly something anyone would consider using in production, let alone at a megacorp.

Note how your quote says "COVID-19 will double", not "Draconian lockdowns will double"? There would be a food crisis, with or without lockdown policies in place. You are conflating the consequences of the pandemic to the consequences of policies in response to the pandemic.

That is why gp used an IFR to estimate the number of infections. They already took untested infections into account.
>For bitcoin, it is reached by bringing the cost up. More miners means it gets harder to mine, so it costs more.

I think this is what you meant, but just to clarify: the cost of mining will go up, not the cost of Bitcoin. (Miners joining or leaving shouldn't directly affect the price of Bitcoin. The same number of Bitcoins exist and get minted regardless of the number or activity of miners, as long as it's nonzero anyway, so miner activity doesn't directly affect the supply and demand of Bitcoin.)

Yes, MicroSoft made a big thing about this about five or six years ago if I recall correctly. All the server products like Exchange or SQL Server treat PowerShell as a first class client.

How do you determine something can be tortured?

What if you remove the ability of a person to feel pain? Modify chemistry just enough to always be high as if she had injected heroin? Does it mean the person is not conscious any more?

If we can simulate all particles of a human on a supercomputer and all the reactions to torture will be the same is it not really tortured?
I work at a FANG company. And I would gladly take a significant pay cut and work at a less prestigious company, if they offered permanent WFH. I'm only in my 30s, but the grind of sitting in an office from 9-5 everyday, feels positively revolting.

Before the pandemic started, I was counting down the days to my retirement. But now, I'm actually enjoying my work a lot more. And during my 20s, I would have been absolutely ecstatic to be able to travel the world, while still working a full-time job.

To any non-FANG company: take note. You don't have the same level of prestige, and you certainly don't offer the same level of compensation. So how do you stand out in the job market, and attract the best candidates? Giving people the option to work remotely, is your best bet of ever competing with the FANGs.
Yeah, these guys are going to get slapped back into reality so hard if this WFH thing really takes off.
The ; idea is great, I will try it with BetterTouchTool.
WFH works when schools are also open and or your kids aren't bothering you every 10 minutes. What I would give to be back in my 20s
Not at all true. However, your department will have to install things like properly certified safes into your house. This may mean bolting things into your concrete basement, etc.
I don't have proof that it's universally the case. I expect it pretty much is, but if you have any counter examples please share them. I'd love to see something that would make me feel less bad about the world.

Covid-19 resurges in reopened countries; Wuhan sees first cluster in a month
Rather significantly disagree.

People seek out, form, or join teams basically wherever they go, in whatever they do. While every team has an introvert, every team has a lead that works to pull the introvert into the fold. This is largely the "leaders/managers self identify themselves." Or, the introvert that strikes on on their own to do their own thing? Well if they're good..... they end up forming a team to support it.

It's not about knowing you're on the A-league or not, or implying it or not. That issue, while you're correct about the taboo nature of implying one's team is anything less-than, is very besides the point.

It's about how individuals time after time find fulfillment from performing at your (company, in this case) local optimum, with a hearty dose of feelings and actuality of personal autonomy, lack of micromanagement, clear standards that are just far enough of a stretch to be able to be met, etc. The nerdiest of nerds on a CTF team or hackathon will give each other a high five. In turn, to your point, the best players will seek out better teams.

It's a primordial behavior, we all do it. There's a wealth of organizational/leadership science out there. It's a fun read that unlike many social sciences, actually has a pretty well proven lemmas behind it, which control for personality types across the spectrum. The military is a one great source of this, flat orgs are another, and everything in between still displays the same behavior (for orgs that do "well"). The behavior and incentives of A->Z people in high performing, high satisfaction environments tend to be very similar, just the implementation is a little different depending on specific org charts.

> None of his employees want to work because 1. they earn more on unemployment

He should pay his employees more money.
Very true.

As I was telling a friend of mine, it feels like a collective case of "misery loves company". Any indication on my social media that someone is stepping out their front door to be proactive about their mental health is met with an unfortunate amount of derision and shaming.

And the political aspect to this can be just as depressing. It seems a nuanced conversation on the benefits of reopening is impossible with my friends on the left side of the political spectrum (which is most of them, and includes myself). I have incredibly smart friends on the left, and I'd love to hear a point of view from them that I didn't feel was being driven from an "us vs them" mindset.

It's really unfortunate that advocating for reopening has been cast as the position of the looney right in the national discourse. When to reopen could be the most important question we face in decades, and a reasoned, dispassionate discussion of the pros and cons sure would be wonderful.
>But if the deaths from suicide, drug overdose, delayed medical care, ulcers and other stress related sicknesses, and abuse are enough, they will offset those numbers

Not if they get counted as a COVID death. You better believe that drug overdose death is getting a test if there's federal reimbursement in play.
