Actually thats an empty argument, I'm responding to someone saying rust doesn't have IDE support.

It does, I use it every day and it works great. Not saying c++ doesn't just saying it worked better for me than the MS c++ vscode extension.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with Cuomo or De Blasio -- merely addressing the philosophical issue around the framing:

The issue with that framing is that it's really not a personal choice issue because one's choices in this instance are not sufficiently isolated from the rest of the system. Many choices are, but this is not. If one exercises one's personal choice incorrectly, the entire system suffers.

One might say, everything in life is a risk and everything we do affects someone else. Well yes, but not everything in life is has huge downside risk and exponential spread. This is a different class of risk.

(that said, I think there are ways to lower the probability of spread at a bar (spaced outdoor seating) and at a gym (masks + distancing). Excessive alcohol consumption is a risk for noncompliant behavior though.)
PostHog | Remote (Europe/US timezones) | Early full-stack engineer | https://posthog.com

PostHog is open-source product analytics. Graduated YC W20, we were the most popular B2B software HN launch since 2012 [0]. Our GitHub repo [1] has 2.8k stars and a growing and active community. We've raised a very comfortable seed round and are growing quickly.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer, someone who knows what a good product should look like. Our stack is Django/React/Redux (Kea -- main contributor works at PostHog too!).

We have a culture of written async communication, with most of it happening publicly on GitHub (see our repo). Being fully remote means we're able to create a team that is truly diverse. We're based all over the world, and the team includes ex data team leads from Uber, former founders and recent grads.

> If it was truly "airborne", which it isn't, then the measures would need to be much, much more draconian otherwise it would spread much quicker.

You need to make up your mind here, are you talking to professionals, or lay people?

To lay people the term airborne means it spreads by air... which is what it does. The fact that it doesn't linger in the air for 12 hours is secondary and would need to be addressed in whatever policy is put in place.

Since we don't need lay-people to understand what the virus isn't, the term airborne is just fine.
Fingerprint unlock never worked for me (on any of my devices) because as a rock climber my fingerprints rub off. For about 2 years I could never get any fingerprint readers to work for more than a few days.

So I had to get a Pixel 4 because it has Face Unlock, which works almost too well to be honest.
SEEKING FREELANCER/WORK, Brazil, Remote OK, c410.f3r (at) gmail.com

Software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in several technologies and programming languages. There are two fields where I mainly act: (1) DevOps; from database administration and data modeling to back-end programming or front-end design all the way to orchestrated deployment with latest tech and (2) Standalone software; involves embedded development in restrict environments, blockchain applications mostly related to Parity's Substrate and plain command-line interfaces.

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where my latest public collaborations are more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Seven professional certifications were obtained from different organizations like the Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance that covers a wide range of areas. My newest certification is the Confluent Certified Developer for Apache Kafka (CCDAK), more certifications will be earned over time and I can get any other desired certification if needed.

To finish, IT in general is like a living organism that is constantly changing, that is why I am always looking forward for a new challenge to increase knowledge. For example, my proudest project is a constrained NP-problem solver compiled to WASM (https://c410-f3r.github.io/mop-playground) where I spent years reading scientific articles to write efficient data-structures and algorithms.

I agree, but I don't consider that remarkable in news media: pretty much all events are spun and presented in some way while intentionally removing context that suggests a different interpretation. It's "technically correct" but it's not in the spirit of truth and neutral reporting.

I wish journalists had higher standards, but they don't. I wish the same for consultants, but they typically recommend whatever they're selling, not what the customer needs, so I don't know why journalists would be more ethically, they're human like all of us.
I think it's still way too big. I'd really like a decent phone with a height under 5 inches. At 4.8 inches tall, the Incredible 4G LTE from 2012 remains my favorite phone. The 4A is at least smaller than the 3A (my current phone), so at least they've moved a tiny bit in the right direction.
As much as I'd like it to be I don't think Linux is a serious desktop contender for most people, so Microsoft is just in second place - and it's not that distant yet, since the Apple transition has just started.

But of course the real (and perhaps obvious) difference is that Apple is much more strict about its ecosystem, having decided ARM will definitely be a thing and developers need to follow to stay relevant.

The Windows version is "maybe there will be ARM devices one day, maybe". That's not nearly as convincing.

I believe the most convincing thing for developers (besides rewards like promotion and filters in the store, which MS badly sucks at) would be a wave of serious ARM devices coming out in the very near future. The longer it takes the slimmer the chance that Windows on ARM will really catch on.

Does google ever actually resell data? Or just monetize it? There’s a big difference selling the personal information on someone versus letting people buy targeted ads.

Most businesses while closed could have very minimal costs.

Let's take a restaurant. Few people dining, so minimal labor costs, reduced deliveries, so minimal cost of goods/foods. But they still have enormous rent costs.

My guess is that 90% of businesses could have gone on outside, easily weathered this storm, and picked right back up where they left off if we had simply paused rent payments. This would have meant property owners wouldve been short money to pay mortgages, so we simply hold off on mortgage payments. Banks can weather that without issue, or receive govt loans to tide them over and structure of the economy is ready to pick up where it left off.

A similar solution in residential housing could've also worked well.

>He brought up anti discrimination legislation causing defaulting and bankruptcy, which the 2008 crash literally caused.

No he didn't, what are you talking about? Just because he mentioned foreclosures means he meant the CRA caused the 2008 housing crisis? No one was talking about it, you just brought it up out of no where.

His statement had NOTHING to do with the housing crisis, the only link between them seems to be "both involve foreclosures, so if I prove CRA did not cause the crisis I will prove his other statement is also incorrect... Because they both have the word 'foreclose' in them"

It's not just lists, just about all word's auto formatting is buggy and unintuitive. Page numbers, tables, headings, tables of contents, paragraph layout on pages with pictures, just putting pictures in a document can be a pain in and of itself. Pretty much anything you do in word above some simple formatting starts to get buggy and unpredictable and the more of these things you have in a document, the more painful editing that document becomes.
The Pixel 4a battery is bigger than that of the Pixel 4, and it has a much less energy intensive screen. I think it would be enough for most regular phone users that the Pixel 4a targets.

I suspect it does vary quite a lot based on usage. We live in a fairly cold place (Wales) and my girlfriend's phones tend to suffer more than mine do, as she spends a few hours in an exposed place most days. Towards the end of its life her iPhone SE was suffering from some truly impressive battery woes when she ventured outside. My current phone (an S8 Edge) is doing relatively fine by comparison, but my last Nexus device really struggled here too and I ended up with poor battery life within a few months.

The problem I have with the software approach to battery optimisation is that it doesn't accomodate for environmental issues like that, whereas a bigger battery does.

A news report from April 2016.
Coming from iOS, I can imagine that being a disappointment. 3 years of updates is a relatively new trend in the Android world. I used to complain about this as well, but now that it's 3 years, that's about when I usually buy a new phone anyway.

Oh yeah, sure, Texas opened in May. How's that working out? Spoiler alert: Texas is now an absolute disaster zone. Sometimes leaving health choices that affect other people up to individuals is a really terrible idea, as evidenced by the disgraceful state that your state is currently in.
I'm baffled that marriage laws are so weird, obtuse, and outdated, pretty much in most of the world. In particular, but not limited to, property and wealth subdivision.
Sadly, 3 years of updates is really above and beyond in the Android world. Many get 2 years but most are abandoned even earlier.
Why does the cheque sent to the government because of my labour count towards what I morally earned, but not the cheque sent to shareholders?

Why are you bringing up a strawman? Nobody in this thread suggested that.

This is a really good point; I have had the same experience. The fact that every political campaign is happy to sell my personal information to other groups has completely turned me off from donating.

The same applies to volunteering. I made the mistake of giving my real phone number to a congressional campaign that I signed up to volunteer with. Since then I've gotten dozens of spam texts from many different organizations.
The corruption issue is well-known, but not relevant. Corruption has been demonstrably worse in non-capitalist societies. Likewise, the biggest issue with capitalism is actually the lack of perfect information (and manipulation of information), but once again, non-capitalist systems have at least as big of an issue here (usually far worse).

The partial solution for information involves requiring more disclosures, having a smaller government with higher transparence, and (historically impossible) making that information easily available and publicly searchable on the internet. This also tends to help reduce the corruption issue.

A complete solution for either corruption or information transfer seems out of reach at the moment.

The short answer is simply that of all the systems we've tried as humans, capitalism (though imperfect) is the least worst and results in the least human suffering.

It helps that pineapples are really delicious. Also, eating them is sort of a family project. Everyone observes the thing sitting on the kitchen counter like a little potentate, waiting for it to ripen. Then it must be sliced up in the best way to remove the horrible armor while saving every bit of the delicious flesh. All that work is worth it, though: unlike other labor-intensive fruit e.g. pomegranates they're big enough to flavor multiple meals. Pineapples seem particularly well-designed to demand the spotlight.

IMO it's not just about "values of architects". They're a population that does cognitively demanding work (so polished UX is of fundamental importance) that tends to have more of a fine arts background than a software background (so right-to-modify does nothing for them).

FOSS is just ... a bad deal for them. They want someone they can call and yell at when they're on a deadline and the software isn't working, and they want tools that get out of their way.

It knows that one country is going to use it's product more than others.

Sure DeBlasio and Cuomo 100% bungled the response in March especially, but you have a lot wrong here.

The city has been massively transformed to allow outdoor dining. Easily 1000's of restaurants and bars now have outdoor dining in what would usually be street parking spaces. Manhattan and Brooklyn especially. I've seen less of this in the Bronx, but most restaurants stayed open doing takeout anyway.

NYC gave direct cash grants to businesses with <10 employees. I know business owners got the money. Those grants were approved and funded before Care Act / PPP was passed. Once PPP opened there was no point in NYC trying to compete, the city can't print money.

Other states were able to give more direct financial assistance to businesses because they didn't have to spend so much on actual COVID response. Remember NY received a tiny amount of federal funding relative to population and actual pandemic impact, because of who was in control of the funding formula.
Showing up is half the battle. Even more true today.
