Yeah, but this is a multi-generational problem - it's important not to give up just because they try to diversify in the moment. Anything that cuts into their margins in the long term makes them weaker, less able to recruit, less competitive for labor. Taking away the black market markups will absolutely hurt these terrible organizations.

It’s with extreme excitement, happiness and relief that I can now say, introducing… Reactive Resume v2.

With nearly 1.7k stars on GitHub, around 100 closed issues and feature requests, I heard you loud and clear and revamped the project from the ground up, and boy, am I excited to hear what you guys think about this!

Without much ado, here’s the link to the all new Reactive Resume: https://rxresu.me

For those of you who are not aware of the project, here’s the cliff note: Reactive Resume is a free, open source, ad-free, private app that focuses on making the mundane tasks of creating, updating and sharing your resume a piece of cake.

Here is a subset of features introduced in the all new revamp:
- Manage multiple resumes with one account, and sync your data across devices
- Sign in with Google, or sign in anonymously just to test the app
- Send your resume to others with a unique sharable link
- Structure sections and change layouts the way you want to
- Import your existing JSON Resume in one click
- Everything is still free, and always will be.

Please do take a few minutes to go through the app, and if you loved it, let me know in the comments below on what could be better. Thank you so much for all the support!
Accusations of grand conspiracy generally turn out to be false with sometimes a grain of truth.
Apologies for the late reply, only just saw your question. In case you haven’t answered it yourself: Some appear to have the “button top” that you know from AA’s but most appear to omit those. But even those without the button top have a smaller contact on the positive side similar to the button top.
They have it so good because they complain about stuff that is trivial relative to countries like Romania. It's a constant battle and to be satisfied is to give up.

Saw an article a while back (years) saying NSA/FBI is able to track TOR connections and won’t say how even if it means they’d forfeit some cases.. anyone remember this?

Edit to add: Also, it’s public knowledge that TOR is funded by the DoD, it seems extremely feasible that they privately control a sizable chunk of nodes. Based on what I know of American 3 letter agencies, I don’t think one could resist designing a “secure” system only they can listen in on.

I consider TOR a very secure messaging channel between you, the other party, and the American government (metadata only, but that’s really not too big of a limitation in this case).

How to avoid sleeping with your cofounder
When I was struggling with this situation (becoming attracted to my f/cofounder), there weren't many resources available. Younger founders with relatively close ages and opposite sexes are especially at risk.

Problem: You are spending more time than you've ever spent with someone, and going through many difficult challenges with incredible highs and lows. You might be doing as many m-m startups do and sharing an apartment-office, food, gyming, etc. A bond forms. In certain moments you (and maybe your cof) may feel that it would be relieving for both parties to have the security and pleasant sensations of a relationship.

1. Accept, deeply, that it is a very bad idea. You are multiplying the probability of a startup succeeding (low) with the probability of a relationship succeeding (low). You are just in close proximity to a person and are basically seeking a relationship of convenience or ignorance.

2. Do not do anything that corporate HR would not approve of. Don't touch. Don't comment on bodies (many cofs have an active lifestyle and like to talk about their body). Don't tease/flirt. You can't have a relationship where you can joke about sexuality because the risk of escalation is too high.

3. Expose yourself to other people e.g. get on a dating app etc. If you trap a s/man and a s/woman together in a tiny bubble things will eventually happen. Pop the bubble, meet some other people.

4. Politely and appropriately reject advances with no uncertainty. This can create a lot of temporary resentment. Just push through it.

5. It will probably be harder to fundraise if you are dating. VCs recognize the danger, even with married couples.

6. Seriously just don't do it. You are doing something important for the world and incredibly difficult, don't let a faulty and (I can assure you) temporary feeling of love get in the way.

I found this paper by Charles Tilly, a well-known sociologist, to be enlightening and eye-opening.

And I think the flip-side is also true, "organized crime" being little different from "legitimate state", except in scale and sometimes scale.

But even more enlightening to me, building on top of this paper, was the opinion of a chief named Bear in the Vietnamese (iirc) jungle, who had to deal with both the "legitimate" (dominant) government and the "paramilitary" groups, who would both alternate tearing through his village and terrorizing his people.

To Bear, all of this activity was the inevitable result of existence of power itself, just a fact of reality. Power which, inevitablly, one or another would struggle to acquire, with similar results regardless of who it was. This perspective allowed him to maintain and protect his tribe from both organizations, by acknowledging their power, acquiescing to it, and letting the wind bend his stalk but not break it, so to speak.

Bear was a wise man who lived to old age in a place with everyday danger, so his words are worth something, IMO.

---

I learned of Bear and his wisdom from a book written by an anthropologist who lived with his people for several years. I remember one of the stories being about how an unwanted premature baby was allowed to die, and how much this upset the anthropologist at first.

Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the book anymore. If anyone recognizes it, please comment here.

There is no denying that it takes skill and hard work to keep a business afloat in these times, or that it is stressful, or that it is easier to walk away than deal with the situation.

On the other hand, very few businesses are the product of a small subset of its people. In many businesses, such as some of the businesses mentioned in this article, it isn't a question of whether those other people can afford to send their children to college. They already knew the answer to that question: they cannot. Instead, it is a question of whether they provide their family with the bare essentials.

I am not suggesting that executives should sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the company or other employees. What I am suggesting is that it is immoral to take more when others are given less. If you disagree with that, that's fine. Consider it an ideological difference. Yet it is also important to realize that there are people who would disagree with both of us, that those who have more also have an obligation to sacrifice more in a time of crisis.

Youtube does not even run on a standard Android anymore (without Google proprietary bits) so that's not like some people have a choice anyways.

If you want to use Youtube on a standard Android, you either have to use a modded version of Youtube or a third-party app. I'd argue that modifying manually the official version sounds worse.

How many kids have long term effects?
Thank you. Finally someone else has realized that the scientific community may, in fact, be composed of human beings, an animal that comes baked in with an aversion to making their own life more difficult or jeopardizing the attitude of those around them to their work!

You can't look at the set of circumstances that lead up to this, factor in that a lab escape is likely, and make an honest attempt at projecting what additional controls may be rolled out on the field of virological research, and come away from that blind to the fundamental conflict of interest this may generate in people in the field.

Hell, I know researchers who can't even imagine why anyone would do the kind of work described in these documents in the first place, yet nevertheless we have the papers to show they did. We know the equipment and techniques to do the deed exist. That they were all in the same geographical and temporal location. If you don't suspect spooky action at a distance, or endorse magical thinking, you have to come to 2 very uncomfortable conclusions.

The first: technical know-how, tools, and people to wield them existed within the same space, at the same time. The outbreak started in close proximity to this potential causal nexus. This was paired with seemingly anomalous behavior in the initial response to said outbreak, and. It is politically intractable to get a good first person inspection of what was going on at the early stages of the pandemic response due to official acts of censure and destruction of evidence.

The second: Everyone who you'd defer to decide whether or not it's reasonable is also liable to place a variety of unpleasantly enhanced controls on their field as a consequence of giving an affirmative answer.

It'd be like asking the fox whether the lack of security measures on the coop may have had something to with the sudden sharp decline in the population of living chickens. We already know what that answer will look like.

We all look at each other and assume the best of intentions, but even history tells us the best of intentions have a way of finding their ways to very unpleasant outcomes in the presence of enough cogs without the full picture of what is going on, and those with enough of a picture to know what is going on are infrequently in that position due to a willingness to cut their own throats by admitting why they are really doing what they are. That's just the Machiavellian or politically inclined ones.

You've got Oppenheimer's and Teller's who did research just for the fundamental beauty they saw in the math, and understanding, and power conferred by the knowledge gained from their work.

I can't be so crazy as to be the only one to see the ridiculousness in taking the very people with the most lose as being perfectly impartial. I can't be the only candid or meta-cognitive enough to realize that at some level there needs to be a degree of salt taken to any assertion that a lab couldn't have been involved and we should all just stop even considering it.
He cited papers, you referenced a "general scientific consensus". This is a gun fight, sir, so you'd best put that knife away.

Before accusing me of denying science, you should actually read the underlying material and try to think about it critically. The AAP guidelines the article is referencing were written more than three weeks ago, when most states were in the middle of a lull between the first wave that we had in March and April and the second one that is starting. It also contradicts CDC's own, current guidelines, which state that remote learning is the safest option for people of all ages.

Please see the updated statement from AAP's top pediatrician: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...

Furthermore, the AAP guidelines don't say anything about teachers or school staff. It is written purely with kids in mind. When asked about this in an NYT interview, Dr. Sean O’Leary, who helped write the guidelines, said:

"We’re pediatricians. We’re not educators. We don’t want to tread in space where we don’t belong."

In other words, they don't give a shit about teachers or school staff. Well, maybe we should? At least a quarter of American teachers are over 50, and more than third of them have pre-existing conditions. Reopening schools for in-person instruction will decimate them.

Lastly, even if kids themselves are not strong vectors for transmission, there is literally tens of millions of them in the USA that are of K-12 age. What do you think is going to happen when they go on to infect their parents and grandparents?

I believe the F-Droid version is currently one patch behind. You can actually add https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo in F-Droid as a repository and you'll get the updates for NewPipe a lot faster.

I actually ended up going down a different route and created my own F-Droid repository for NewPipe and a couple other apps so I could get faster updates for them and I trust the upstream developers.

> Why exactly is this the states' fault?

Because it was their responsibility. The CDC, as well as about 235 years of law, was absolutely clear about this: https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/phl101/PHL101-Unit-5-16Jan09-S... (slides 8, 10).

> This seems like something that would be far more effective at the federal level.

Maybe that’s a discussion we can have for next time. But the point is that we had a very long-standing division of labor that states knew about, but they didn’t prepare. You can’t have a debate about changing the division of responsibility during a pandemic. The idea that someone else should have been in charge isn’t an excuse when the responsibility had been assigned to you. Put differently, the CDC presentation I linked to, which says the CDC is just there to provide “expert assistance” wasn’t a surprise to anyone.

> It's the exact same argument as the parent comment, it shouldn't be up to states to create tracing and isolation infrastructure, test kits, etc.

But it was. Just like it was up to France or Germany to do those things, and not some EU agency. Italy isn’t blaming the eCDC for its own lack of preparation.

> Putting that burden on the states is exactly how we got to the place we are in.

No, we got into the place we’re in because states shirked a responsibility that had plainly been assigned to them. (And in fact, was inherently theirs as a matter of the very structure of our federation).

> Without effective federal support and direction, no solution will be effective since inter-state travel exists and there's 50 different states that will come up with 50 different solutions, some more effective than others.

Canada, Australia, Germany, etc. all managed to do this just fine.
The idea is you host in your DNS

foo.example.org. CNAME blah.customer.cloudflare.whatever. with a ttl of loke 5 minutes

Then when cloudflare goes down, you switch that to your origin server, or your static system is down page or something. Most of your traffic moves within 5 minutes and when you're satisfied Cloudflare is working again, you move traffic back.

If you've delegated your domain to Cloudflare, you can switch your delegation at your registrar, and a lot of TLDs update their servers pretty quick, but the TTL is usually at least a day, so you'll be waiting a while for traffic to move.
This is why I prefer thinking about the goal of this discussion as estimating probabilities, rather than as coming up with a logical argument that has a definite conclusion. I agree that the presence of a large virus reservoir in the area shifts the probability in favor of a natural process. I don't think it is enough to make the probability of a lab escape negligible.

As a followup, I would ask: How many such reservoirs are there, how close are they to human population etc., and therefore what is the probability that the virus came out of this particular one? How many of these BSL-4 labs are located next to such reservoirs? etc. All with the goal of estimating how likely a lab escape was.

I would like to emphasize that (1) it is important that we know the truth, because it will inform our preparation for future pandemics, and (2) there is sufficient evidence that warrants a serious look at the possibility of a lab escape. Instead of dismissing it as a "conspiracy theory", or leaving it all to the biologists, I suggest taking considering all the evidence and trying to estimate these probabilities.
> May I respectfully suggest that you stick to your lane regarding the science?

I don't think there is a respectful way to utter this phrase. Honestly, even saying "I think you're full of shit" would be more respectful.

This is more a problem of failed leadership, possibly at multiple levels.

If you are the guy tapped to fix it then own it. The problems occurred before you got there and you are dealing with a legacy mess, but real leadership means having the humility to own that problem like it is all your own.

Don’t blame the junior developers for their lack of direction. Cover for them and protect them. Earn their trust and guide them in a better direction. This is where you will begin to turn the ship around.

Numerous people will be quick to bias you with their opinions. Always bear in mind that bias is misleading. Be firm in forming original opinions from your own observations.

Set a valid plan with realistic expectations. This problem didn’t happen in a day and it won’t be fixed in a day. Define primitive metrics to identify progress and business health. Use those metrics to determine if you are moving in the proper direction and the speed of success. Be very transparent about your measures to both your management and your team.

Frequently praise your people, work your ass off, and set a positive example.
Woke Ideology Is a Psychological Disorder
Human trafficking and gun running are the cartel’s other significant sources of revenue. Then there are extortion and protection rackets. You could legalize absolutely everything and you would still have cartels. In Africa they are run by warlords and drug smuggling isn’t a big thing there — anywhere you have poor people and a weak government, you’ll have some form of “cartel.” The product is irrelevant.
