Extra background: Been at SRE for 5 or 6 years now and loving it! I am looking to move into more of a role involving hands-on experience with k8s and containers at scale. I also want to work for a company that is actually doing exciting things (e.g. space tech, but certainly not limited to that). Let's chat!
But to your parent's point, the US outcome was comparable to other countries we'd consider peers, like the UK and France. I feel like this point, that other similar countries did poorly, is sometimes missed when talking about the US response.
Did you read till the end? It's not at all clear that it was a mafia hit. The whole thing was clearly stoked by a huge anti-immigration feeling.

As you say, quite the rabbit hole...
My mind is kind of blown that birdsong virtually does not include higher harmonics. I didn’t even think that was possible for a physical resonator. Great post
Unsolicited former coworker of Luke here. Highly recommend, would love to work with him again.

While I dont think Luke would be a great fit at FAANG, et al, he is a near-perfect early stage senior-dev/jack of all trades. I have learned some of the most important aspects of development from him.

In his own words, he is a 'carpenter' of software, not an "engineer". Something I wish was understood more by eng managers
“While it is understandable for some New Yorkers to be concerned about the novel coronavirus situation, we cannot stand for racist and stigmatizing rhetoric, or for myths and half-truths about the virus. The best precaution you can take is to practice what you would during any flu season: Wash your hands, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and please stay home if you’re feeling unwell. The Health Department is committed to separating the facts from fear, and we encourage all New Yorkers to do the same.”

This basically turned into “it’s just the flu, if you think it is more, you are playing into the racism rhetoric”.

Look, I don’t care which side of the country was right, but ignoring the mistakes we made feels like we are setting ourselves up for falling for the same traps.
There is a thriving business in counterfeit negative COVID-19 test results. At this point for international travel they're largely just pointless pandemic theater. Just like the useless and inaccurate contact free temperature sensors.
You can play word games all day long, but the fact remains: without blockchains the world would use considerably less energy. Whether you call that energy usage "consumption" or "requirement" or what not is just pedantic nitpicking.
Limit Twitter to 30 minutes a day. It works, actually better than deleting it. It takes a bit of exploring the find the feature on iOS, but its well worth the effort

For a long time, Georgism and other land-centric ideologies were dismissed as out-of-date holdovers from a far more agricultural area. But in recent years, it's been great to see a widespread rediscovery of the fact that, yes, land really is still paramount, even though society and the economy have greatly changed.

Related was the discussion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26994175 the other dya of land appreciation underwriting fast food and small businesses. Very nice to see.
'Specially in EU where many people have disabled fb all together.'

I somewhat thought that it was unique to my social circle: I deleted FB almost 10 years ago and it looks like 90% of people I know eventually did the same. Many did it so well that now have zero online presence, except maybe on LinkedIn, especially the ones who ended working in a corporate word.
I can't upvote this enough. We HAD a plan, both Bush and Obama put together pandemic response plans. We had serious issues in logistics and deployment for sure. We had some screw-ups in early testing for sure. Maybe we should grant some margin for error when there's a lot of uncertainty early on, but after about March or so, the errors are on pure government failure. The CDC isn't solely responsible here, but it has been an embarrassment given the skills it should have had and claimed to have.
That sounds a lot like it. Maybe the cancer triggered it or maybe I just lucked out with an unrelated symptom prompting me to visit a doctor.

I'm a Computer Engineering grad looking for my first job.

Why Hire me:

- I'm a jack of all trades, having delved into everything from Deep Learning to Application Security.
- My current interest lies in Infrastructure/Platform/Cloud engineering, primarily Kubernetes and Containers. I'm also intrigued by Terraform.
- I learn new things quickly, and like the iterative way of building.
- I'm young and hungry to build.

Why not to hire me:

- You're looking for an experienced engineer. I'm just out of college and will be needing mentorship.
- I'm a jack of all trades, and master of none. I know most things deep enough to be able to converse well, but will be needing time to actually implement.
- I have student loans to pay off, so please don't lowball me.
- No job agencies/contractors please.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!
Northern VA. Not far from IAD. I think gigabit is about the same price as you. 200/200 is the lowest tier in this area.

Most neighborhoods that have Fios also have a cable internet provider, so there’s a little competition. But, not everywhere has Fios.
I’m sure some of these points also apply to startup Dads, not just Moms.

This is kind of a snake pit. Google now has three different but related page performance initiatives.

1. Pagespeed insights
2. Web vitals, further sub divided into Core Web Vitals and just Web Vitals.
3. Lighthouse

They all work together or are sub components of the other.
Even more, two of three Core Web Vitals (Cumulative Layout Shift and First Input Delay) are not really reliably measures in a typical lab environment like PSI and Lighthouse: they require actual user interaction with a page. They are essentially RUM (Real User Monitoring) metrics.

Other Web Vitals like Time to First Byte are much more deterministic.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

> Long before Google became such a dominant player, competing search engines had matched or exceeded its quality, compute cost, and ability to scale.

Could you say more about this? I wasn't involved, but my recollection is that Google pioneered using a zillion low-cost nodes for search. E.g., I remember that AltaVista was using a big iron approach partly as a way of showing off DEC's wares. I can believe everybody had to try to keep up, but I am skeptical that Google slowed down enough for everybody else to catch up and/or surpass them.

What about it? Uncertainty around transmission rates/methods, uncertainty around being able to equip medical professionals, and uncertainty that the public would not touch their face/consistently wash hands and mask/wear it effectively are all significant pieces of context for that statement.
Couldn't agree more. It seems incredibly selfish to have children and then hand them over to strangers to raise. It's wildly unfair to the child, and as you said, unhealthy for the planet.

I don't have a coherent thesis, but I've been thinking a lot about the connection between the collapse of civil society, the proliferation of loneliness, and the fact that so many children are being raised by transient strangers they have no real ties to. It strikes me as a blueprint for a dystopian society.
After 30 years, you'd like to think marriage allows for some growing apart, though.

Loyalty and honor count for something, when you're thinking about who should hold your hand in the ICU, or who should be with you and your kids in the next plot (or urn).

It's odd to think that either of them looked at the other and thought "this person is an obstacle to what I really want."
They’re not implementing game logic in those languages for performance reasons though. The question, as I interpret it, is about why C++‘s performance isn’t an issue for games. Using those languages for scripting/game logic is a trade-off where performance is sacrificed for developer productivity.

> Going out and doing whatever because you're not worried about yourself is a supremely selfish act

and that’s OK because expecting someone else to change their life because of your own fears is far more selfish and what many people seem to be overlooking here in all of this is the further societal disintegration of privacy, what we do with our own time, where we decide to go, what our health status is, all of these things are private matters, that’s a big part of what it means to have freedom, personal responsibility, free agency, and privacy all go hand in hand

This article is dated February 14th. The US had only declared an emergency two weeks earlier on January 31st. At the time, there had only been a handful of deaths and passengers had not yet disembarked the Diamond Princess.

It seems you’re similarly rewriting history in describing this event as “mid-pandemic”.
Many public officials did not know the seriousness of the Coronavirus.

Even Republican officials told Americans to go out and dine.

If someone doesn't have showdead turned on, they wouldn't see all the dead posts on /newest. They would just see that it's not on the front page and think that no one had yet posted it. This would be an increasingly unlikely explanation as time goes on, but with breaking news it's possible to be the first.
Was HDMI-CEC not an option here? Particularly considering a Raspberry Pi is involved.
FWIW seasonality, geography, and travel patterns seems to have played a large part in how long a country had to decide before enacting measures that would make a difference.

It would seem that any country that was in summer during the spread had the advantage to stomp out virus when the trend was low (and in the case of the islands - shut down all travel).
And I remember a president who downplayed it and called it a hoax, I remember a governor who encouraged people to go out to eat after we knew better, what's your point? Also, your article does not at all support your claim of "health officials who claimed that acknowledging the virus was xenophobic".

Here is what the article actually said, which, as it turns out, was extremely precedent in light of anti-Asian-American violence that we have seen.

> “While it is understandable for some New Yorkers to be concerned about the novel coronavirus situation, we cannot stand for racist and stigmatizing rhetoric, or for myths and half-truths about the virus. The best precaution you can take is to practice what you would during any flu season: Wash your hands, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and please stay home if you’re feeling unwell. The Health Department is committed to separating the facts from fear, and we encourage all New Yorkers to do the same.”

> Dr. Henry Chen, president of SOMOS, said although risks of infection in New York remains low, he is gravely concerned by the increased xenophobia against the Asian American population, specifically the Chinese community.

My experience is that the cops don't care a bit about thefts into the mid thousands, even if there's a high likelihood the culprit and their car, probably including the plate were caught on camera multiple times. "We'll have your report for insurance in a week. No, we're not even going to make a couple phone calls to investigate."

Hell, one time a small company I worked for had five figures of gear stolen in a break-in... and then several other businesses in the area did, too. Well over $100,000 (retail) of equipment stolen by the end. Multiple cameras at multiple businesses caught them, including their van and plate number. The cops did the same, "yeah, yeah, here's your report, we don't care" until someone called them while sitting directly behind the van in question and told them they'd found the guys and to get off their asses and do something.

AFAIK nothing was recovered anyway, but I think they were at least arrested. Yay?

I honestly don't know what they do aside from give out traffic tickets and harass people.
True. Though YouTube's ContentID / 3-strikes system isn't even the DMCA process. It's easier yet for the claimant.

It does help reduce the legal threat to YouTube itself. The company is more likely to be sued by a large copyright holder than its many small video uploaders. Though the latter have been known to show up in a disgruntled state of mind and with harmful intent at HQ. That risk is also shifted, from shareholders to employees and contractors.

YouTube from a risk perspective is grotesquely fascinating.
Or they have a spouse doing all the heavy lifting at home.
Yes, he does that and it makes for good stories by following story telling tropes

Definitely not useful for introspection or a dissertation on an industry, but it does provide some insight to learn more about the current state of the world and how it got there on topics that might otherwise be too uninteresting
True, perhaps it was just that Democrat Mayor who used the word of a doctor to add validity to his assessment and criticize the response of the previous administration.
I'm not that convinced. I mean yes, if you literally just estimate "add video chat" without any research or further clarification, but that'd get you in hell in every other discipline too.

EDIT: I guess one part might be that people are less likely to recognize specializations than in other disciplines?
I was waiting for past examples of politicization of the CDC, but nothing really concrete was given. I do remember us dealing with a SARS variant during Obama’s admin, and that was seemingly handled scientifically. To hand-wave away the Trump admins effect on several government offices as just “missing the bigger picture” needs some proof, imo.
