The "bounce back" is the interesting piece to consider. If you assume that business dropped to near-zero in March and worse in April and May, what does the rest of the year look like?

If things pick back up to February levels on June 1st, we're still at -25%. That's the absolute best case scenario and there's nothing that backs that up.

If things start at half and ramp up to full through December, we're closer to -40%. That's more likely than the first scenario but feels unlikely.

If things start start slowly in June and grow monthly for December to be at February levels, we're closer to -50%.

Forget the industry, how many companies can survive losing half their revenue (not profit) for the year?

(Obviously, this assumes a flat/even revenue distribution during the year. Companies that have their busy season in March-June are even worse off.)
I am a big fan of PostmarketOS, but that being said, you still need to patch the Mesa libraries to get hardware acceleration working on an old Nexus 7. They want to do a lot more work, but it's difficult with all these garbage/trash ARM devices out there.

If Google gave a shit about e-waste, they'd mandate UEFI+ARM like Microsoft did with their phones (except without the locked bootloader). Trying to get drivers to load an work on every ARM variant is a nightmare compared to x86.

Hey HN,

We built this as a little hackathon project on top of our "get a dozen staging servers" platform at https://layerci.com

The "show layer" gallery lets you create instantaneous staging servers to play around with software, as well as discussing it and submitting your own favorites for the community to use.

Submitting is currently pretty difficult, but we'll try to add any projects you submit, even if you don't have a screenshot or staging configuration for it.
I had revolut or wealthsimple in mind that both make trading/exchanging money more like a game and a wholesome experience.

I think because of the app the user is "forced" to concentrate and use the whole screen of the app (especially for the phone) it enables a more immersive experience. Whereas most browser apps feel like a transactional thing.
I'll followup on this - its not the VCs, its the lack of investments that give a real return, which makes capital flow towards the higher risk things so it can seek a return.
> I get why a hoover company thought branching out into hair dryers and fancy bladeless fans, I just fail to see the steps between that and a fully blown electric vehicle.

In 1985 Hoover manufactured 14,000 electric vehicles in their Welsh factory - the Sinclair C5. It was a disaster, but as a sub-contractor Hoover didn't do too badly out of it.
It's a matter of public record, though I guess they could gripe about any data viz methodologies... still, we need this type of oversight.
> If that's a monopoly, it's not quite the kind of a monopoly we should generally be worried about.

It the same monopoly that a town center has in term of political activities. Anyone could easily choose to switch to hold demonstrations somewhere else, but the result of holding it where only 8% of people will see it will make that less of a choice for the ones organizing the event.

As a society where I live we recognize the benefit of political diversity, and we acknowledge that the disruption that such political activity bring is usually minor. As long it does not cause prolong and significant disruption to everything else then the benefit of giving everyone equal right to demonstrate in the town square is a benefit.

I do agree however that Browsers are more similar to regular monopolies worries. One company in control of the market will increase prices, decrease innovation and create perverse market incentives.
> Over population is going to kill this planet and people are still breeding like rabbits.

If you're not leaving this planet with any progeny then I hardly see why you should care if that happens to be our planet's future.
How about this position - being against paid family leave like this but being for tax-funded professional parents.

IE, train and treat parenting as much of a profession as it honestly rightly deserves, let people specialize and pursue a career in parenting, and then have them be parents as a full time job, paid the same way public schools are.

Because lets be honest - humans evolved to be carried around by their parents in communal groups while nomading around Africa. Its why babies cry when separated and are designed to be constantly attached to someone for most of their first year of life. They aren't even meant to sleep apart from their parents. There is enough sociological evidence that pretty much any form of the stereotypical family unit in any socioeconomic sphere causes trauma to infants because of how they are deprived of their biologically imperative socialization and physical interaction. It goes so far as there being evidence that babies become so anxious because they are stationary - they have a biological impetus to move, that a moving family is safe and to stop moving is dangerous. Its why most calm down if you walk them around in circles holding them.

I think there is also an argument that subsidizing reproduction when there is appreciable demand to immigrate to your country is at least racially biased if not wholly unethical, but thats another ramble.
> [know that AGI] is centuries or even further away (basically some indeterminate time frame because we don't even know if we're on the right path).

How can you, in the same sentence, say the time frame is indeterminate and that it is 100+ years away?

We just don't know, period.

> In a time where virtually all developed countries face a demographic crisis in the coming decades

I don't see how this is a problem if we have immigration. We should support immigration from high population growth areas of the planet to low population growth not add more population to the planet.

Adding more people to planet and causing climate for next generation is way worse than not providing paid leave.
> When they want to do real work or real play they don't do it on their phone, they need a larger form factor with more power, a bigger screen, and better input technology, whether that is a laptop/desktop or game console.

That’s clearly not true. For a large portion of the world, the smartphone is their only computing device.

There are about 6 billion smartphones in use. Last I heard, the desktop/laptop install base was around 1 billion, but that’s a fuzzy memory.

My intention was not to create impression that Linux is the problem. I myself have had similar experiences as you have had and use Ubuntu on all my PCs.

However the reality is schools teach on Windows and just about all PCs and laptops sold in my home country have Windows installed. Apple products very rare and for the very rich. What this means is the average "computer guy" available to help my dad is typically a Windows person. If my dad says he can't print, the Windows guy cannot help him on Ubuntu so typically thinks the problem is Ubuntu.

I am not saying the problem is Ubuntu, Ubuntu just isn't common in my home town.
So is "Nazi scum", or "Braindead Republican", or "corporate sellout", or "slum lord" or, "liberal elite", or "wellfare queen", hell even "Boomer" or "hippie" or "neoliberal".

That's an extremely low bar, so low as to be utterly useless.

Wrong. Uber made the market bigger and a result to that there are more people overall working for the transportation industry. It’s not like every Uber driver would have been a taxi driver if Uber didn’t exist..
Average is probably 8 years.
I just finished reading https://www.billiondollarwhale.com/ book. The book tells a story how 11Billion USD were stolen. After seeing $17B losses I hardly can believe that a big chunk of it or most of it were not funnelled to support a lavish lifestyle of connected people.
"Republicans buy shoes too". He even referred to taking both pills in the very next tweet, but some people are too dense to understand what he meant.
It's a major problem nationally in the US, and we've been lied to constantly about timelines on testing. Even if everybody on AZ who fits the current testing criteria can get a test, to be able to reopen safely we need to test lots of people who don't fit the current testing criteria. Wider testing criteria means more testing capacity required, which is an issue because we don't have that extra capacity and won't any time soon.
Is someone suggesting that a governing body chose platforms? I haven’t seen that yet suggested.

What I have seen is suggesting breaking up giants like Google and Facebook to allow them to compete more with each other rather than allowing the two fold in any possible alternatives as soon as they become popular.

In this case you have the last word so you’re correct haha.
But seriously, there are unknown risks here. Why can’t we point out the extenuating circumstances to deviate from the rules?
this is an odd conclusion to make from my article, given that the entire point of it is to assert the difficulty in establishing trust and the lack of wisdom in relying on a single source
I think I'm almost entirely with you except for these two
statements:

>It's premature to take for granted that a paper brain emulator can exist in principle.

I think it is premature to say we could simulate all of quantum mechanics with sheets of paper, so on that technicality, I totally agree. However, I think it's quite unlikely to be the case that we couldn't in principle simulate the requisite components required for a faithful replication of consciousness. But you're correct that it's probably not a given.

>Finally there's something of a category error in making the claim that pieces of paper can be sad. A paper emulation of a bar magnet would not itself be magnetic. In the world of the emulation it would produce an output that would model magnetism, yes, but that's the extent of it. Our paper brain emulator, if it were constructible, would produce output that would be a model of sadness in the emulation, but it would not actually be sad.

I think I disagree with almost all of this. The bar magnet is a bit of a bait and switch because the system, the input, and the output weren't well defined. In consciousness, you need to define the system, system input and system output properly. If the system has persistence of thought/computation, and the inputs and outputs can be defined in a way identically to those of your own consciousness, then it would actually be sad, in every way that you are. In particular, if you replace bits of paper with "neurons", your argument should absolutely still hold. So the logical extension of this argument is that either YOU also aren't capable of being sad, or your consciousness does not originate in your brain. Both of those I think are pretty close to sufficiently absurd that we can accept them as givens.
More like you need to leave before they notice you and make the decision to ban you (once they make that decision it doesn't matter if you've left already or not; you ain't coming back either way).
That's a great suggestion. Unfortunately, my portfolio is entirely comprised of Uber contributions that I cannot share publicly. I believe many folks are like me, eyes-forward and focused on the company mission. I was going through the process of open sourcing a library, but that's no longer going to happen.

I suppose I should get started on making something that I can own.
Uber definitely increased the availability and coverage of end to end car hire in my region. As far as I’ve seen, the evidence suggests that Uber is more equitable for geographic and demographic access.
Huh, I did not know about the Adsense one, that's news to me. Interesting to see if it's relevant in the U.S. because it was only with large partner contracts and Google stopped it before the E.U. investigation even began.

Again, the EU anti-trust law is different from the U.S. I already mentioned the Android Play services case already.

Part of problem with retooling for consumer TP is that a lot of commercial TP is lower grade than consumers are used to at home; often barely meeting the definition of “two ply”, not soft or doped with humectants.

It is not simple to retool a commercial bulk TP supplier into a consumer TP supplier, they at least need some different inputs.

F-Droid exists as an alternative app store or you can distribute APKs. Also running Android from a vendor is a horrible experience. I recommend installing LineageOS or any other alternative ROM.

Google might have a monopoly on the web, but at least they have given us tools to work around it, unlike Apple.

Yea, phones should not be designed to be replaced after 2 years. Phones from 6 years ago would still be plenty powerful if they weren't crippled by Google Services eating more and more resources.

Google could use mainline kernels and force manufactures in the OHA to open source all their drivers, maybe even back PostmarketOS to prevent e-waste.

You can take an old Pentium 4 laptop and still put modern Linux on it and still use it for some tasks. Good luck trying to do that with any ARM system.

Android has an enormous malware problem with million node botnets etc.

Exploiters don’t need to leverage side loading because the platform and store are insecure enough as it is.

As to making it into a huge pain to sideload, what you want is already available. You can install whatever you like by downloading XCode.
And just to be clear, there isn't a strong correlation between "how much karma you have" and things getting to the front page.

Other companies have made over-optimistic predictions but not on the same scale and with the same frequency. Tesla is ahead of them on the "bringing to market" part but not on the autonomy part, where they're not really working on the same level of difficulty problems as the ones trying for L4.
hey! We currently don't auto-mark and you are spot on, the hiring manager can see exactly what the candidate ran and judge for themself (e.g. some scenarios you can just re-start the machine, but that doesn't solve the root cause). But I think we will need to create a report on how well the candidate did. Based on what we've seen, it seems better to award lots of little points vs a few big points for the "right answer". What would you expect/want to see in a results report? Cheers, Hassan
But who's defrauding who? If the doordash website says I can buy a dough pizza for $19, then doordash has to get me a dough pizza for $19 when I buy one. No fraud is happening, doordash is fulfilling the requirements of the contract they make with all their customers.

If anything, the one who's committing fraud is doordash, because they're putting in "takeout" orders with the restaurant and presenting them as "delivery" orders to the customer.
Thanks. I'll be curious to watch the keynote. :-)

A question on my mind is how is "different domains" defined (a loose definition and/or positive and negative examples would be OK):

* Music and dancing?

* Programming and chess?

* Hardware and software?

* Music and sketching?

* Engineering and medicine?

* Physics and gymnastics?

An architect that doesn't leave documentation and share knowledge isn't doing their job and management needs to get ahead of this. What if this "key person" decides to find another job?
This sort of implies that what people "want" is fixed in time. More accurate might be to say its a bunch of money spent manufacturing some wants and disincentivising other wants.
As far as anecdotal evidence goes, I had a Linux desktop built around a 64-bit Athlon in 2004-2006 - as the primary, it saw plenty of use, but I don't recall any random crashes.

It makes me genuinely really angry that this isn't the case, it has me questioning why I even bother to interact with the development ecosystem when it seems like 90% of the stuff out there is this sort of closed-off 'got mine' fuck-the-environment style thinking.

No, I don't recall the articles you mention. Do you have any links?

You're asking me (and the authorities for that matter) to prove a negative.

Can you show me any evidence that supports your fears of voter fraud in the US? Other than a few rare cases, I haven't seen any evidence.

The reason I believe the system is working fine without Voter ID is that voter fraud just doesn't scale, either with manual paper ballots cast in person, or via absentee ballots and VBM. It's just too much work, too high a chance of being caught for the reward.

Now what does worry me in regards to vote integrity is electronic voting systems. I will never trust those.
haha, yes - thats a real possibility.

cassandra is at its heart a key-value store. for every queryable field, you need to create a new in-place copy of the data. so you're basically saving the data n-times, for each way you wish to query the data.

if you however try to query on a field which hasn't been marked as query-able, the cluster will have to basically select everything in the table and do a for loop to filter for the 'where' clause :-)

But i haven't used in production yet, so you've got more experience then i do
They're serving a niche market, which will always come at a cost. Your Samsung, Xiaomi, ASUS, OnePlus or even Google device will not be running a mainline Linux kernel with wholly open drivers (ala x86) unless you get very, very lucky with your hardware choice (even the pmOS folks admit as much). You don't want to be stuck running a downstream LineageOS kernel with random patches and userspace binary blobs; it's a recipe for your device getting harder and harder to support and being dropped altogether, even by the ROM-development community.

First-world countries are usually below replacement birth rate. If we disincentivize people from having children, we're going to need a lot more immigration to avoid a population inversion.

Ah, but there is so much value in fresh eyes. Miod, who has been involved with OpenBSD development for 20 years and has surely seen those function names a thousand times, provided the historical reason (they thought they might need to allocate memory) but agreed they never ended up using that.

The fresh eyes don't have the history and are thus able to point things out that the older eyes inherently accept.

Yet you would probably agree giving every mother $100,000 for every child they have is a poor use of tax revenue? Or that it might produce some undesirably perverse incentives?

This isn't a black and white or moralistic "with or against me" topic. Every society basically independently has to evaluate how much it wants to divert capital to produce babies. Many nations - ie, China, India, etc - have or had programs in place to actively disincentivize reproduction.

I'd just as easily argue that subsiding reproduction when your country has foreigners wanting to immigrate as being unethical. If there are people out there right now that want to come and fill the holes in your society left by a replacement deficit, how is it just to instead pay your own people to replace them? Its largely why Japan is in its replacement crisis - the nations staunch ethonostatist view against immigration.

Of course there's documentation, and also knowledge sharing, doesn't help he/she and 50% of his/her teammates are let go and without a solid way of knowledge transfer or the desire to do so under this context.
