It's an incredibly, self-evidently stupid article. It's the accusations of one fired employee immediately disproved by Tesla who supplied photographic evidence.

> Musk, apparently, really hates the color yellow. So instead of using the aforementioned hue, lane lines on the factory floor are painted in shades of gray. (Tesla denies this and sent Reveal photos of “rails and posts” painted yellow in the factory.)

While I don't know anything about this non-controversy, my suspicion is that their limited use of colour is based on sound UX principles. Car factories have nothing but dangerous equipment from one end of the room to another; placing lawyer-approved caution markings on everything ends up backfiring as workers start to tune it all out. So what was the point?

At the end of the day safety is all about good training, not how much yellow paint you apply to stuff.

Yeah, either that or they are procrastinating on some quirk deep in their engine they should rewrite already.
“I went camping with Brasky, his wife, and his daughter Debbie! Debbie Brasky. She’s 7-years-old, goes about 3’5″, 55 pounds. So, I’m in the back of a pickup with Bill Brasky and a live deer! Well, Brasky, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, ‘I’m Bill Brasky! Say it!’ Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth – ‘Billbrasky!’ It wasn’t exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer!”
This is pretty funny because I remember reading this exact same argument the last bitcoin halving in 2016! I still think it's a superior form of money to USD so I'll keep on holding mine for a few years at least.
The lady doth protest far too much.

So why can’t they land or take off in fog or rain, when other airlines can? I’m guessing you work for them, so I’d love an explanation.

Cheap insurance policies that don’t cover it?

I’ve also experienced more atrocious landings with Ryanair than any other airline - flaring late, early, or not at all - they must spend a fortune repairing undercarriage.

I don’t buy it. Bargain basement airline, bargain basement pilots.

I mean, if they were any good, they’d fly for one of the majors, rather than a notoriously mean employer, no?
I haven't used SSIS since about SQL2008 - back then it terrible to use with version control - not only was it a huge blob of XML, it had more xml escaped and shoved into attributes of the main document! Whats more it seemed to re-allocate the GUIDs of the elements every time you opened a diagram, so there were always changes...

Sounds like it's improved a bit since then.
> ‘Never say cop out phrases such as "I think", "maybe", "possibly", and "I hope". The only purpose they serve is to shield you from the consequences of what you say if you are wrong.’

that’s terrible advice, as life is anything but absolute. we make statements all the time that include our degree of confidence in them. they’re still often very informative. you can always tack on an “i will find out” after any of those statements and have the same effect of affirming more definitive follow-up.

good bullshit though. almost had me.
> 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. Just by looking at the deaths year over year, it is clear that if anything, COVID cases are undercounted.

I think this sentence really hits home at the problem. Elon is smart, but smart people make mistakes (Elon is definitely going off the deep end). The issue is that covid is a complicated topic with a lot of nuance. Elon is only paying attention to one part of the conversation but not to the rest. In science you don't only take one side of the conversation (HN actually is generally doing the same thing but from the other direction). The problem with science is that it is complicated and nuanced. If you ignore the nuance, it becomes much more complicated.

So it isn't that he is uninformed, it is that he is hyper hyper informed, but only from one perspective (and uninformed from the other). We could actually generalize that to a lot of conversations in the US (and world). If you turn a nuanced topic into a simple topic, there can be no discussion and everyone sounds like idiots, but that doesn't mean they are uninformed or didn't try to understand (which is part of the problem with a lot of our conversations, because people know they spent a lot of time trying to understand but that doesn't mean they got all points nor understand the deeper meaning).
I am working with graphical tools and node based structures for years. Think about Blenders shader nodes or modular synthesizers. These systems are good to play around, try things out, quickly change how things are connected.

Above a certain complexity they become very hard to organize. If the complexity of your problem is below this level and the user has any self control, all is good. If the complexity of your problem is higher you'd need a programmer who knoes how to handle this anyways.
They will just have a program do the deletion randomly and call it chaos engineering.

They are also free to increase the .org pricing, which they can use to justify the Ethos sale.
Doesn't that prove my point? Weed wackers have been around for 50 years, used by hundreds of millions of people, and the worst you could find was a freak accident that was treated successfully. I was far more likely to suffer from heat stroke than from any weed wacker related injury.
> I failed to educate properly at that time, and now he's not able to do Roth contributions to save money in the future.

That's not an inescapable situation.

Some 401k providers (eg most of the ones provided by FAANG) allow you to roll pretax IRA money into your 401k, which frees up your IRA for backdoor Roth.

Salient point but Mandela,Ghandi,Martin Luther King and their followers were not potential deadly virus carriers.

Elon is just being a grandstanding idiot.
> This seems like a very strange take. This is a utilitarian perspective, but with a floor of 20 million years of utility before we take any action. Why shouldn't we take action if the mortality reduction years > lockdown externalities? You're essentially saying "we should take no action to prevent a disease from costing us 20 million wellbeing-years", which seems odd.

You're right, that was my mistake. I got a rough 20 million life-years by taking Ferguson's worst-case scenario and then applying the "COVID-19 takes average 10 years of lives" claim (which is a false claim). Thus arriving at the implied scenario that lockdown proponents say could happen but that I think is an impossible to reach number.

(For context I use Ferguson's 2.2 million as an upper bound, but that 2.2 million scenario involves an overwhelming portion of the deaths being people who were already at death's door. Thus I think 2.2 million is possible but highly unlikely due to the other factors I mentioned, whereas the 20 million life-years figure I view as basically impossible to hit because it implies that same worst-case scenario but with the wrong distribution of age)

At that point I thought to myself "wait, I forgot to account for the negative externalities". But as you indicated, that logic was wrong.

So, allow me to retroactively change my answer to just 20 million life-years period.

Thanks for pointing that out.

> It feels like you haven't looked deeply into the criteria that many metro areas (NYC, WA, and the Bay to name a few) have to reopen. They're specific and clear, and backed by reasonable thought.

No, I understand their criteria but fundamentally disagree with the entire approach of containment, as I explained in the GP comment you replied to.

> This isn't at all true. Look at China, Taiwan, and South Korea, which have all begun reopening, but with infrastructure in place to track and keep outbreaks contained even as they reopen. Some parts of the US are on track to do the same relatively soon (weeks, not months or years).

I don't believe that the US can use the same strategy that China, South Korea, or Taiwan has been using. They have much better control of their borders and are a much more homogenous and compliant population.
You're missing a critical statement in that logic:

- without working, people cannot get money

This is not a physical law of nature, it's how American society has chosen to be, and if there were political will, society could choose to modify that "rule". We've just collectively convinced ourselves that it is axiomatic.

It's really too bad that this whole pandemic hasn't sparked much conversation about how we could structure things so people don't starve when they aren't doing this ritual called work.
Yep. I am very disappointed at the way a lot of people on this site are resolving to calling names. Sad times.
True. And I am glad, that I did correctly use the word "terror", which you managed to misread somehow, and then blame me for your own mistake.

The Handshake project [1] attempts to decentralize the DNS root zone (using a blockchain what else).

If, like me, you're suspicious about anything blockchain, a fun fact about Handshake: the developers took $10 million of VC money and donated it to Free and Open Source foundations [2]. That was actual cash donated, not magical internet money (though magical internet money was also donated).

Some coins were premined. 80% of those were airdropped to GitHub users. If you had more than 15 followers in February 2019, you can still claim your airdrop [3]! (Disclaimer: this is what got me interested in Handshake)

Because some simple Google searches show complaints of workers being overworked and poorly treated for years at the expense of worker health. In fairness, Musk himself was clearly overworked and pursued his dream at the expense of his own health. But there is a lesson here for all of us in startup land: be very clear about what is really going on if you're willing to sacrifice your own health and relationships for someone else's dream.
Any good alternatives?

I'm a Chinese here, many "Digital immigrants"(1) from China uses Telegram as replacement to WeChat, because I guess it's groupchat feature.

However, Telegram itself is not a surveillance-avoidance/privacy protection tool of course, as you need a phone number to register, and an valid phone number is really hard to get anonymously.

Foot notes:

1: "Digital immigrants" means people who digitally lives outside the network border of their own country, not the dumb buzzword that Wikipedia tries to feed you

HN usually acts like an old, intellectual, know-it-all-seen-it-all programmer grandpa that somehow knows all that the fields of computer science and philosophy have to offer. But this thread show what it actually is. A glorified reddit.
Yes, but my position is that the following externalities are equally or indeed more important to be mindful of:

- worsened COVID-19 outcomes due to social isolation

- worsened COVID-19 outcomes due to fear of going to a hospital (this is a real effect)

- worsened all-cause mortality due to social isolation and a culture of widespread fear

- worsened mortality attributable to mass unemployment (note that some small portion of unemployment would have happened without lockdown but the vast majority of damage is self-inflicted and thus directly attributable to lockdown)

- worsened quality of life (the missing link that lockdown proponents tend not to address) amidst the entire population

- externalities that occur when suspending in-person
education, such as the widening inequality gap between students whose parents can afford to buy them personal computers/laptops/tablets and those whose parents cannot.

- shifting to a global perspective, the impending global food shortage is predicted to make COVID-19's mortality look like a drop in the bucket

Finally, I'd like to point out that COVID-19 deaths here in the US are dominated by the extremely elderly which implies (but does not prove, of course) that our lockdown policies were ineffective at protecting the at-risk groups that we should have been focusing on the whole time

No it doesn't, it's also not the only thing that turned up when I googled 'weed wacker safety' just the most interesting. Obviously, it shows that there are more things hidden in grass than 'just pebbles' like you insisted.

Plenty of people get lacerations and other injuries from weedwackers but your employer has a duty of care to you to prevent the possibility of that happening. This has been codified by safety laws.

If you're using a weedwacker in your personal life feel free to do it nude for all I care but as others have pointed out if it's optional and unenforced that effectively means that employers won't do it.
German car makers are doing similar things (reopening under certain conditions)...
Coronavirus Update 69: “NAC” Supplementation and Covid-19 (N-Acetylcysteine)
does archive.org use cdn or is it all served from one location?
Exactly. Which is why, when there is an epidemic of a dangerous disease, measures need to be implemented that assume that everybody is infectious unless proven otherwise.
we live in time when rational thinking has absolutely no weight in face of emotional reaction. Businesses are not here to upheld rationality, but rather to make money, and as such it's easier to adopt public idiocy than to fight it. I am very glad that there is Musk out there, and as a token of appreciation I will be considering to support him by buying Tesla.
You are making a lot of assumptions, one is that the managers weren't laid off too. In that case, there is nobody to do a 1:1 with.

Do you know the worst thing about a layoff, knowing that people are being laid off and not knowing what's happening to you or the details of the layoff. In your scenario, the first few people who were laid off are very likely going to reach out to their work friends and soon everyone knows there are layoffs, but no one knows who's getting let go. So you do you prolong this suffering, or do you make it quick and provide a way to ask questions afterwards? I think quick is better.

I've been through an in person layoff, and nobody spends time with those who are leaving. We did the visit each person and tell them their fate, and it sucked. But we spent only a few minutes with each person, because we had to make it relatively quick. Everyone had to wait in their offices to find out their fate.

No matter what way you choose, there is always going to be an armchair quarterback saying the way you did it is wrong. Layoffs are hard and there is no way to make everybody really happy about them.

Show HN: Quick Cursor – use Android phones with one hand
Free app without ads that makes it easy to use big Android phones with one hand.
The app can be found in Play Store with the name Quick Cursor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcursor

It is an alternative to the already known Reachability Cursor app which, unfortunately, it is not maintained anymore (from 2018) and does not work on new Android versions.

I need help to collect any feedback on this early version. I'm interested in opinions about the idea, feedback on how it works on other devices, bugs, interesting features that might be helpful, etc. Anything you have to say about it!

Thanks HN!
It has seat belts/chest straps and a few safety features, but no air bags and hasn't been crash tested. That and the price are the main things stopping me from buying one. There are full size cars that cost less than a Solo, even though the cars have all the complexity of an internal combustion engine.
Interesting, that seems a bit diamond-industry-marketing-driven, I thought a band was the symbol, and that the stone was a more recent invention. Especially since the wedding band is what you get when you actually get married. Many people in my family only wear the wedding bands and leave the engagement rings off.

But these are largely just assumptions on my part.
Just for some context, Tesla has been approved to reopen in other places in CA. The reason why musk is doing this is because he thinks given the context, what the county is doing is illegal. Also, all the other auto makes have been greenlit. So musk has a point.
What? It was arbitrary and ineffective. OSHA never busted people for actual dangerous stuff like being high on the job, lacking eye protection, driving without a seatbelt, or smoking next to gas cans. It was always stupid bullshit like wearing shorts on a hot day.

After the fine, I wore shorts for the rest of the summer. So did plenty of other workers. OSHA didn't seem to notice.
The idea that some sufficiently smart compiler/language/tool will replace expensive developers is a siren song that’s as old as COBOL. Most of these tools have historically failed to deliver much (if any) value. In the few cases where they genuinely made programming easier, the bar for what computers were expected to accomplish was raised to the point where specialized labor was once again required.
How is Windows any better? Last I checked installing things in Windows was still a matter of downloading random .exes from the Internet and running them as administrator, so all bets are off.

And there's no sandboxing at runtime either, everything has permission to do whatever the user can do.
It seems like you are willing to give Fauci and WHO the benefit of the doubt when they say opposite things but call Elon "He spreads conspiracy theories about hospitals over-counting cases for profit" even when he's factually correct.

Fauci said on March 10th "If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason if you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship."

So how exactly is Elon opening his factory consisting of young employees with easy social distancing worse than what Fauci says? It's much easier to stay at a distance and wear masks at a factory than on a cruise ship. He even states that those who are afraid aren't required to come. Only those who want can come and work. How is there anything wrong? I just don't get it.

Here's CDC post from May 1st regarding how this is "comparable time period during a recent high severity flu season":

https://www.facebook.com/CDC/posts/10157900783181026

> According to the latest CDC COVIDView report, increases in hospitalization rates for COVID-19, which are cumulative, have started to level off. The hospitalization rate is highest among adults 65 and older and similar to what has been seen during a comparable time period during a recent high severity flu season

Fauci, WHO, modelers etc whose only job is to make predictions on these sort of things have been consistently wrong and yet people are willing to take their advice as gospel.
