It’s getting incredibly frustrating seeing people make this tired point. Yeah, we SHOULD have started a month ago, but we didn’t, and wasting time at a press conference trying to write some gotcha story about it helps nobody.

Are there worries about actually being able to get these with all of the supply chain disruptions?

Because the projected figures are often times between 50-70% positive.

If we do a "full lockdown" like this, there needs to be a suspension of basically all bills (mortgage, rent, etc.) for the period of the shutdown +20%.

It's been a very difficult, helpless feeling watching this all happen. A lot of people were watching from afar what occurred in Wuhan, then saw it spread to SK, Japan, and eventually Italy. When Disney and Starbucks shut down in Chin

Are they cashing in somehow? Or do you mean cashing in in the sense that they have a massive, existential financial interest in this going away as quickly as possible?

I don’t think it’s that simple. Sugar is much easier to farm en masse than fat is. So switching to a sugar rich diet may have saved millions of people from starvation, but at the cost of the health of the individual. So it is “better” for

I've been somewhat shocked at seeing these forehead thermometers being used for screening. Forehead thermometers are not accurate. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24127699 I challenge HN's readers to de

So are you saying we won't do these quarantines simply because we can't ?

by blhack 7y ago
There's a question I've proposed to some of my friends, which I will also propose here: Do you think that we will see Chinese style quarantining in the US? If not: why not? What do you think is different about the US that would

Where are you reading this? I have friends in the medical industry telling me that their surgical mask suppliers have started restricting orders.

Get a job for a small company with no IT department doing some sort of office work or data entry. Automate parts of your job, or write reports for your boss. Now your boss will ask you to write more reports for HIS boss, and suddenly you a

Ive been somewhat surprised at the coverage or lack thereof that this story has been getting on HN. This virus is disrupting manufacturing from China in a major way. It seems like one of the biggest tech stories of the last decade at least

I think that Behringer's entry into the modular space actually HELPS these bespoke manufacturers and is going to help them sell more modules (if behringer doesn't just outright buy them, like they've already done with outfits

Imagine a world where the first inventor of a violin was the only person ever allowed to create a violin. We would not have the musical landscape we have right now. Behringer's proposition is basically: this stuff doesn't need to

It’s because they’re so expensive. Luckily though, behringer recently announced a bunch of amazing modules for very cheap (which is basically their MO, and why they are going to end up eating most of the industry)

What a strange thing to be this user hostile. When stuff like this happens, people look for alternatives, and even if they don’t switch immediately, this really erodes any loyalty they have to your brand/service. I think Facebook is e

I feel really bad for the people who made this thing. It looks like it was mostly interns/people at their first job out of a bootcamp. It was a mess, sure. My first major project was probably a mess too, except my "mess" wo

The reason I mentioned the sculpt is because it's cheap, and still infinitely better than the normal keyboard that ships on a laptop.

Hmm, I'm talking more about projects I'm working on, or things I want to work on the next day. I'm at a point in my life where I look at this as a good thing, not something that needs correcting.

I do this. I have a really difficult time turning my mind off in silence. If it’s dark and quiet, my mind is working. Listening to old TV shows like TNG helps distract me enough to fall asleep.

It seems absolutely within amazon's technical ability to allow you to prepay for usage, and then evaluate your use on a per-hour basis. I have a side project that uses AWS at the moment, and while stuff like serverless RDS instances ar
