How the Coronavirus Is Changing Digital Etiquette
I responding to this "Displaying that certain prominent posts aren’t accurate is a good start, much like what Twitter did." not being quite enough in this case.
I know a few apps I manage had this conversation. Had another part of the business not added it to their side (and dealt with all the complications, customer service, and policy stuff Apple has introduced), pulling out FB sign-in would have been our best option. We didn't have the resources to comply with their product rollout.
My recommendation is as an all purpose camera for stills and video.

So while the GR series are nice cameras, I don't consider them to be as versatile, especially with that fixed 28mm equivalent lens.

I tend to think the GR series is more appropriate for people who know what they're doing (and what they want) than people who think they might want to get into photography.
Where did he call it the "greatest breakthrough"? I mean, it's of the greatest convenience if there's a chance that a cheap ubiquitous drug can damage COVID's operation in a host, and I think I can forgive him for talking it up in that context (and btw, always with disclaimers), but I don't recall him calling it the greatest breakthrough. Could be wrong but would expect a source.

Also would take issue with "significant risks". HCQ, especially in the temporary loading dose being used in COVID cases, is largely, largely, largely benign except for edge case patients. I do remember Trump saying multiple times in the briefings that people shouldn't take the drug without their doctor's prescription. Presumably prescriptions being given out to people in the edge case risk category would have their doctors to blame, not Trump.

I'm all for calling out shaky medical advice, but the dangers of HCQ being published in the media were overblown, especially considering the context of a pandemic. To pretend otherwise is just rhetoric. Like with autoimmune diseases, the doctors say that while there's risk from long term use of HCQ over a certain daily dosage, considering it may prevent you from dying via organ failure, the narrow and reducible risk is worth the payoff. If you're dying of COVID and a doctor decides it's your best chance, you're not going to give a shit about long-term usage risks, and let's presume your doctor will weigh short term risks accordingly.

Your fatal flaw is thinking everyone within all government groups are on the same team/have the same motives.
> A strict black and white view point that more government = less competition is absurd.

Yes, and fortunately I didn't say otherwise.
What counts as a handout these days? A tech job that pays $50k-$100k over productivity? ("The company has been losing money since its founding, but we need a rockstar engineer so we can survive long enough to get bought by Facebook.")

I'm not sure we have any idea of the real value of things these days, including what work is worth. Credit has distorted the system; just because someone who is work full-time (however many jobs that takes) can't pay the rent rate the market seems to be dictating doesn't mean someone stepping in to fill the gap is giving them a "handout".

Also the WHO testing resumed today. The response to the Lancet paper was only temporary to reevaluate and they have decided to press forward.
> That's like saying television networks are required to give you a show for your free speech.

We do that, and have since 1976. Any cable provider in a city with more than 3500 residents is required to put up 4 public access channels and studios and allow the public to use them and broadcast on them.

> Social networks are private companies built for profit.

To what extent do current laws provide exclusions for them and their business model? Do we deserve something in return for that?

> Hell, you can't even post a nipple on Facebook.

Precedent exists here as well. Free public speech does not include broadcasting of materials of a prurient interest at any time. This is separate from the "seven dirty words" which are generally excluded outside of the 'watershed' which is typically 10pm to 6am in most cities.

I'm fairly libertarian, so I'm uncomfortable with the question, but there has to be some objective method of determining the extent to which "internet domains" are to be considered "leased from the public" the way we do broadcast licenses.

We've already seen certain websites with particularly vile, but legally protected, points of view have their domains taken away from them. If speech can be so easily marginalized, doesn't the public have some interest in claiming domain over some of these seemingly "private" systems?

Most meeting software already allows you to broadcast your webcam and a screen-share session at the same time. So this is only necessary if you want your webcam feed to be embedded inside your screen-share, and you want your screen-share to be your webcam feed. For example, this sounds like it would be a horrible experience in something like a Zoom gallery view. Am I understanding correctly?
I wasn't confident enough to declare bitcoin is equivalent to, say, gold. But it sounds like you are, so maybe that is correct - bitcoin is just as bad as gold, or conversely, gold is just as bad as bitcoin. We observe that fiat currency has mostly driven out metal currency, and I'm inclined to think that is because it is more efficient in using resources.

As you say, currency constantly generates value. It is useful. But -100% of the face value is a large burden to start with. How large, relatively speaking? Well, I don't know exactly what to compare it to, but intuitively the value of currency would be related to interest rates, which have been really low for quite a while in the developed world.

There are a lot of comments questioning the political motives of publishing this research quickly. In medicine, if there is even a hint of increased risk of death, then studies are stopped. It happens a lot. In two weeks the journals published statements and corrections. Imagine if this same article was posted that said the drug was killing patients for two weeks, and the journals withheld the research because it was politically sensitive. This was a mistake, and human error and bias may have come into play, but it was a mistake that erred on the side of caution. Unfortunately, if the drug does prevent deaths, then it could also be just as bad an error. Hindsight is 20/20. I wish politics never entered this equation, and I blame the president for pushing politics into medicine during a pandemic. It was dangerous and these are the issues we are now facing.
Yeah, Tintin 1/2, so is it 7th of 14 or 8th?

I would imagine most people who read "new" are themselves just checking on their own submissions, which might bias the type of things upvoted (for example a post on how to get traction on HN might be biased).

Why does there have to be an alternative? They can give speeches, send letters and emails, go on television, post to other social media platforms, yell in a park, release an album, etc. You have the right to freedom of speech, not the right to freedom of mediums of speech.
I am wondering about military applications here - a single missile with 400 warheads?
1. They have lots of cases, because they do lots of testing. Even then it is on 33rd place on the cases per capita scale.
2. As I said, even if the actual death rate is more than 500% (unrealistic number) of claimed the number is still low, much lower than of the most of Europe.
3. Of course they did not use malaria drugs prior to epidemic - why would they? They used quinine derivative long before May, cannot find a link right now, but here is a link for Uzbekistan (https://podrobno.uz/cat/obchestvo/stalo-izvestno-chem-lechat...) which uses chloroquine. The death rate is abysmal in Uzbekistan, and everywhere else in Central Asia, the other countries use similar methods. You may argue that Uzbekistan is not a reliable source of information, but there is clearly no outbreaks in that particular country.
I seem to recall that we were shipping a lot of masks to China back in January, perhaps that’s part of the reason.
This is such an awful, hyperbolic reaction to the parent post, it's disheartening to see it on HN. Maybe the parent post is overstating - but "perhaps the internet is not the place for you"? "If you are so sensitive?" "Toughen up"? "push an agenda"?? Honestly: Holy shit.
That's because roughly 99% of the public is already convinced that they are a bad thing.

~50% of the public believes that police accountability is a bad thing. If it didn't, nobody would be out, protesting against it.

This article is not newsworthy because Linus commented on some submission but because of the way he commented.

Oh, I'm _soo_ special and pretty and such a delicate flower, that I want to flush the L1D on every task switch

Those are not the words of a wisened leader attempting to explain why allowing user space cache eviction is probably not a great idea but some flippant jerk attempting bully his viewpoint by calling other ideas and by proxy submitters stupid.

I certainly respect his accomplishments, but just as certainly I don't condone his behavior. Further I feel his rants tell other savants that acting like jerks is perfectly acceptable and just part of open source contributions.

I always find his defenders to be a puzzle. So many believe and champion the cause of open source yet also condone and champion behavior that drives contributors away. As a champion of open source you should want to cultivate more contributors but our community is filled with those that emulate his unacceptable behavior.

Your comment instructing me to toughen up perfectly illustrates why his behavior is contagiously inappropriate. Thanks

> "Oh yeah, we've been working on this for 6 months"

Very skeptical and suspicious about this line. It sounds like as if they were waiting to react to another appalling racist act, despite previous events happening to black communities for years around this to launch this "fund" in exchange for equity and "support".

While this is a positive act from a16z, but after reading that line, the whole post now feels 'manufactured for the event' to specifically attract black founders. I'd say no thanks and no deal.
Issuing a blanket city-wide curfew, when no looting, or rioting is taking place, to give the police license to arrest literally anyone is something that is done in an authoritarian police state, not in a free country.

A peaceful protest is not a justification to issue a curfew. It is explicitly protected by the first amendment. A blanket curfew is a gross violation of it. The Lt. Governor of Washington happens to agree with me on this.

Researchers studying sociopathy often put the number somewhere between 2-8%, with variance seemingly driven by cultural and other environmental factors. Whether or not you believe that sociopathy is a distinctive thing, it's hard to dispute that a not insignificant subset of human populations are primarily restrained by deterrence alone--specifically the threat of punishment. That doesn't mean such people are evil or intrinsically violent, they're just opportunistic to the point of almost being mechanically opportunistic.

I'm a glass is half full kind of person so I see factors like empathy as a defining characteristic of humanity, but even I can't deny that such internalized inhibitions, biological and cultural, which mute anti-social behaviors aren't universal.

> Instead, why not bump up IRA contribution limits and allow penalty-free distributions for qualified medical expenses?

Seems indistinguishable from a higher limit HSA, but I'm on board with that.

> Why restrict HSAs to high-deductible health plans?

Removing this restriction is a great idea! I agree.

> Why are we asking people to deal with investment stuff in order to pay for their healthcare?

Most HSA providers use robo-investment. Where active investment is an option, it's usually only used by the most savvy users. Half the value add of most off your HSA providers is this investment management, which 100% beats having it sit around in cash.

> Isn't that the point of an insurance company? You pay them premiums, they invest the money and pay for all your healthcare needs - none of that co-pay, coinsurance, deductible shit.

This is really debatable, because the concept of "insurance", traditionally, is tail risk mitigation. Having insurance pay for everything from flu shots to regular check-ups makes it something else entirely, that's no longer insurance, it's a glorified health payment plan with all of the price information removed.

Indiana has a very interesting program for their government employees, where they offer "deductible security", in which the state provides a health savings account into which it deposits an amount equal to the annual deductible every year. Another potential policy avenue to incorporate with HSA's.
So does not cracking down on hate speech and incitement to violence.

I probably shouldn’t have compared it to an ambulance service because I think they do most of their intervention in place- literally helping out on the streets. They do have vans so maybe they transport people if necessary but I don’t think that’s the standard case.
Yes, very unfortunate. Given the wave of the last years of incidents like this, some departments have begun having additional emphasis on de-escalation, but that's not enough. It needs to be ingrained in training from day 1, and for current police it needs to be an intensive retraining requirement.

That said, there will always be incidents that cannot be safely (for the officer & surrounding public) brought to closure with force, even with perfect training. That has to be understood and baked into the expectations we have of police conduct. But always-on body cameras that are robustly tamper resistant with stiff penalties, like getting fired for disabling or obscuring them, are necessary to make this happen. We have to be able to audit police actions to know if they made a best-effort to de-escalate, to avoid force. Failures caught on tape need to be replayed and dissected in after-action reports by the rank & file to know how they can avoid similar mistakes. I mean, this is standard stuff in plenty of jobs: something screws up, you fix the immediate issue ASAP, then you figure out why it went wrong and gather the stakeholders to review and figure out how not to screw up in the future.

I don’t think that’s the reasonable conclusion when there’s a more obvious one. AWS has a different agenda in that they don’t directly bear the cost of these security reinforcements directly (as they are passed along to customers in the form of reduced “capacity” on all Linux machines everywhere) but they directly benefit (directly via the ability to use shared tenancy, and directly by having customers more willing to use shared tenancy solutions).

It is also very much in their favor for “slower execution” to not be under the AWS column in a Pros and Cons list stacked against an on-prem alternative, which would be the case if it’s a patch they’re using (forced to use by nature of renting out shared tenancy to potential attackers) that on-prem configurations wouldn’t be.

Not that this is really any better, I'm just trying to say that we can't really reach any conclusions from one day of this experiment
