TL:DR; civilisation's patterns (cities, trade, travel) co-evolve diseases. Populations tend to evolve resistance to local endemic disease, but are susceptible to novel agents, including foreign infections. Rome infected China and vice versa.
Would be cool if someone built a simple S&P500 or All-world stock index, expressed in gold instead of USD, or expressed in a weighted basket of all currency index. This may give a better representation of the stock market value, corrected for some of the inflationary effects of quantitative easing.

Anyone ever seen such indices?

"Usage costs 10% of your expected annual savings spread over a 12-month agreement."

This is hard for me to sell. Not because it doesnt make sense, but because its damned hard to propose in my budget submission. Its equivalent to me saying "I am requesting an unknown amount based on potential savings, that we may, or may be able to implement across this financial year". I cant easily get that across during a budget submission, and it's going to be difficult to pitch at another time after money has been allocated and I have no idea if I can go through change management to realise the savings in the same billing time as any agreement.

Might I suggest you make it linked to current expenditure?
If you look at TIPS bonds, consumer inflation (CPI) is not actually substantially higher over 5 or 10 years, if at all. The expected inflation rate is the same tenor Treasury yield minus the TIPS.

Actually the premise is "the market is overvalued and therefore there will be a significant correction."

Technically the current value is the correct value. The question isn't whether this value is "wrong" - it isn't, by definition - but whether or not Mr Market is delusional and prices will crash at some point in the near/mid future.

Explicitly, the distinction is between investors who are looking at fundamentals, and investors who are looking at market momentum and trying to factor in their guesses about politics and Fed policy.

If you consider fundamentals, P/E is up to insane levels in a barely functioning economy. If you consider politics - optimism may be justified. Possibly.

But if it is - what does that say about the value stock markets are supposed to provide?

This fungus is exactly the sort of thing which would normally go missing in the vaults of a museum because the five people who ever saw it didn't recognise it as anything interesting. This is such a common phenomenon that trawling through museum collections is a non-trivial source of new species identifications.

The fact that an image normally only seen by a few people should be shared to thousands, and hence a discovery made based on it, is significant because there were few avenues by which it could happen pre-social media.

We've got literally record-levels of unemployment, and things are worsening still. There's no reason to believe that this has no impact on earnings. This isn't reflected in the Q1 figures, and even not fully in the Q2 figures.

If there's a sharp rebound and everyone gets re-hired in a month when things open up again, and there's no second wave, then perhaps this will all blow over soon given valuations are based on future cashflows of which two months isn't a big deal.

But there's lots of reason to believe that will not happen. There is no vaccine, the virus is highly infectious, restrictions will be relaxed but they will need to remain in partial effect and this will impact employment/productivity in many sectors.

And eventually (particularly leveraged or low-margin industries) companies will simply collapse, there won't be any organisational framework to rehire these people and you'll just have to rely on new companies to form from scratch, which is a much slower process than rehiring furloughed workers under business-as-usual.
Why would this be anyone’s ideal? You are not being charitable towards libertarians.
Installed and had a quick poke around at it with some of my sites. It looks great to me and while I don't have anything more constructive to say, I'm going to try it out in my workflow. It seems way faster than using Chrome dev tools to just "spot-check" things.

Kudos for not over-complicating the product in some weird struggle to find the one key thing that users would pay for and find a way to insert friction there, but of course that means you don't have a near-term way to get paid for your work either.

Edit: I do actually have something constructive to say. The "Help" menu on Mac OS v0.1.1 all points to the default electronjs content and not to content/community discussions about Responsively.
Understandable, thanks for your answer!
yes its disappointing, younger people don't realise how much blood, sweat and tears went into obtaining the working conditions they have now, and as you say, it's not taught much any more.

I remember going to a huge meeting and strike in the 80's, things were a lot more civilised then. I was a young apprentice, there was an older guy who was 'blackballed' - he had turned on a switch against the slowdown rules (a partial strike) - no other worker would talk to him. There were strike funds for people who couldn't afford it, it was a very exciting thing for a young kid, I don't know if it happens any more. People dying on the job so the owners can make more money is nothing new.
That is absolute nonsense. Did the 7 states that never locked down or the ones reopening weeks ago actually do so without it turning into the dire scenario the models predicted? Wasn’t the self directed mitigation’s and targeted quarantine in those areas sufficient?

Is the size of the coronavirus 0.06 to 0.14 microns, while the N95 masks we use filter 95% of particles larger than 0.3 microns? Will a chain link fence stop mosquitoes? Does the virus survive on cardboard/plastic/metal inside surfaces for extended periods making them spread vectors?

There was nothing voluntary about these lockdowns of people and shutdown of businesses. That is a pipe dream on your end. Quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.

Regardless of if tyrants that share your viewpoint want it or not enough of us in the few remaining locked down states will use our constitutional rights to move on to cause a tipping point. We will open our businesses, go to work, hang out with friends and live life. We will fight alongside fellow Americans that are facing tyrants when exercising these rights, and we will work tirelessly to identify and remove tyrants in power.

I wish you and your loved ones good health. May God protect us both from tyranny and injustice.
It's just so frustrating that they keep adding things that scratch no itch I've ever had as a programmer, while leaving out incredibly obvious things that would make my life easier and my code safer.

Named parameters, for instance. It's insane that function parameters still can't be specified in any order with name=value expressions. That would have saved numerous bugs over the years, but apparently I'm the only one who thinks so. When a language such as C++ is harder to use than Verilog, somebody has screwed up badly.
The opposite of lower consumer prices not mattering, is lower consumer prices being the only thing that matters. It seems you are suggesting prices are the only thing. The key phrase here is “market power”, not just prices.

==since lower consumer prices mean consumers, i.e., the people, are better off.==

Over what time frame are they better off?

Are workers (also people) better off?
You would probably get a better deck too if you provided flights for millions of people or helped disburse money or manufactured vehicles to keep people going to their jobs.

C++ fold expressions, the main C++ feature the article covers, are simple and dumb (at least, enough to use them) but not verbose, and definitely harder to get wrong than a much more verbose for loop.
As I've learned more about programming I've been leaning more and more in this direction too. So very much of the complexity and abstraction we build into software is gratuitous and unnecessary. The real art of writing software is writing simple, obvious code that also happens to be fast and efficient.

maybe "extremely late binding" would be more appropriate? it's true that usually "dynamic dispatch" means a vtable, but i think this is dynamic dispatch in spirit - in fact "dispatching" messages to implementations is pretty much the only thing a closure-object does :) i chose to write the impls inline, so they're p much impossible to reuse, but that's not required.

It started out with just Kotlin/JVM. But now you also have Kotlin/Native and Kotlin/JS. Being multi-platformed has some drawbacks, for example, that it can be difficult to expose certain abstractions that are only supported on a subset of the platforms.

I previously customized HN a bit via my own CSS additions, with the Stylus browser extension. Personally I think that's a more feasible route for personalization than an interface for that on the site itself. However, there's a problem that HN's HTML layout doesn't lend itself to CSS work: you end up describing elements in terms of ‘a div two items down from the one embedded in that thing’, instead of just using classes. Sprinkling around some classes might be something to look at, for providing users the ability for customization. This should be pretty safe. I'd also say that the structure could be more semantic—but that may break browser extensions and similar existing customization.

P.S. I hurried to this thread because I noticed that the ‘collapse comment’ links became larger on my phone and I can finally hit them on the first try. Thanks to whoever did that, sincerely! Though personally I'd encourage you/them to make the link three times wider still, to take away even more effort. Dunno if it's much visual noise to others, but at least I don't think it encroaches on other elements.

Btw, another hopefully-not-controversial change that I would make is to have the post text black, not gray. It's a pretty important element, isn't it? So it should have high contrast and be readable.
It's comments like these that make me think we're in a bubble. People who confidently talk about investing in the stock market but are actually talking absolute nonsense. 'Take positions with discipline'? 'Listen to what the market is telling you'. 'Wait for next sign of direction'. 'It is as easy as that while at the same time very challenging.'

None of what you said means anything. You may as well be saying "Listen to what the roulette wheel is telling you".

Your router is holding ("buffering") packets in the hopes that they can be sent soon. Your measurements indicate that the router is "bloated", holding about five seconds (5,000 ms) worth of data.

This gives the sending TCP algorithm the wrong impression. It's waiting to hear about a dropped packet to indicate that there's congestion. When your router holds on to those packets (instead of dropping them), the TCP algorithm doesn't get any feedback, so it keeps shoveling data into the connection.

This leads to the bad state you're seeing. And that's where the advice on "What can I do about Bufferbloat?" comes in.

There's no benefit to having more than one packet buffered by the router. (Hanging on to more than one packet per connection only causes the latency/lag you're seeing.)

There are routers that actually check the time the router has held packets. If packets have been queued for "too long", the router discards them immediately, giving the vital feedback to the sending TCP. Those routers use the technique known as SQM (Smart Queue Management) and the fq_codel, cake, PIE algorithms to keep the queues within the router short - typically less than 5 msec.

To solve your problem, investigate getting a router that implements one of those SQM algorithms. They're listed on the "What can I do..." page. I am a fan of OpenWrt (use it at home), but have installed a bunch of IQrouters and Ubuquiti devices for friends.
You're making the assumption that deciding by democratic process is an efficient way of allocating resources. The oversight is thinking that democratic decision making is low cost, efficient, and high rate of effectiveness.

Even if the metric weren't capital efficiency, but rather other things (like environmental impact, social efficiency, etc) democratic voting is not the way to get efficient results.

HN discussed [1] this topic three years ago when New York Magazine published "The Uninhabitable Earth" by David Wallace-Wells.

In section II, Heat Death, he states, "At seven degrees of warming, that [human cooling] would become impossible for large portions of the planet’s equatorial band, and especially the tropics, where humidity adds to the problem." He adds, "At present, most regions reach a wet-bulb maximum of 26 or 27 degrees Celsius; the true red line for habitability is 35 degrees. What is called heat stress comes much sooner."

The annotated version of that article [2] cites the 2010 paper, "An adaptability limit to climate change due to heat stress" [3] by Steven C. Sherwood and Matthew Huber for these claims.

(Sections IV, Climate Plagues, and VII, Permanent Economic Collapse, from Wallace-Wells' article anticipate our current situation.)

Wallace-Wells expanded his article into a book published last year, "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming." [4] I found the book informative, relentless, and somewhat depressing. Recommended. But don't take my word for it. [5]

Maybe OP would start a company that does one or more of those things if the companies dominating those industries were ever allowed to fail.
The total executed volume in the market are dominated by automated trading systems, capturing small differences in relative value between correlated products. They don't determine prices because they're not actually putting anything into the market in net, they have their capital and they're just redistributing it back and forth between a handful of different products capturing small amounts of edge from the real investors.
I don't think the tuning you refer to is sufficient to bring the platform noise to levels required for some workloads.

DoorDash and Grubhub might be the villains of this piece, but in general Google don't need any help to abuse the trademarks of small businesses. It's common (as in, I've seen this in multiple industries in small rural communities in my state) for AdWords advertisers to bid on their local competitors' actual business names, and thus appear above those businesses in searches for the exact names of those businesses. Then naive would-be customers are calling the wrong phone numbers and using the wrong driving directions. If they intended to drive to Alice's Donuts and end up at Bob's Donuts instead, they're obviously just going to buy something at Bob's. I think some younger Google users are aware of this phenomenon, but it's not a majority and above a certain age no one understands it. After all, on most phones the AdWords content is the only thing visible without scrolling. How many 70-year-olds can reliably scroll their phone, even if they know of the concept?

I don't know how this practice has failed to inspire class-action lawsuits. Perhaps Google can argue that they don't intend to make billions of dollars in this obviously illegal way and it should really be AdWords customers who get sued for trademark infringement.
I'm not saying what's happening is the libertarian ideal, I'm saying what's happening is what happens when the libertarian ideal is implemented. A libertarian may want to not bail out big businesses when times are bad - they may truly believe that ideally you just let the bad businesses fail and the market is stronger for it. The problem is that in reality, you're talking about letting voters take a huge amount of pain a few months before an election. So as a result you end up in a situation where you can have a laissez faire approach to regulations when the economy is booming, but you can't actually allow all the people who vote for you to lose their jobs.
I am not sure it is all that helpful because it will fluctuate with gold price/value changes unrelated to inflation.
