Reminds me of people I’ve encountered who think they’re better at X while on $DRUG. Almost for sure, in my experience with these people, it’s definitely not true, though they’re convinced of it.

People driving while high are especially frustrating, because they’ve convinced themselves that there better drivers.

Compounding this is the veritable explosion of what words which are considered “harmful”, not to mention how vogue it is to be offended (“harmed”) on behalf of another group.

If google is hoping to appease these groups, they’re in for a futile challenge.

They definitely don’t ban the word “commie” in English, so why ban the Chinese one?

So we’re to believe it’s actually reversy, and those suffering financial damage from the shutdown actually love it, and the unfortunate WFH cohort are begging to shove their PJs back into the closet and drudge back to the office?

Tesla, being designated critical infrastructure like all vehicle manufactures per federal guidelines, should have never had to battle it out with county bureaucracy in the first place.

> It's easy to say shut everything down when you have a comfortable wfh tech job and zoom meetings in underwear. Peasants need to make money and feed kids too.

I think you’ve nailed it. The virtuous and vocal “stay home save lives” crowd invariably has almost no skin in the game. They get their food delivered to them (sucks for those folks) and their livelihood is secured.

The rest of us are left to fend for ourselves.

Yes. The problem is we simply pay much more for treatment and medicine in the US because it cost more.

It’s actually an issue where I can see the landscape changing rapidly, and fully expect major changes in the next 5 or so years.

Do you know if Fyne can completely bundle the binary for cross platform? That’s super useful.

You’d figure bank stocks would be performing better, considering they’re capturing so much purported profits.

I'm actually quite shocked at how much energy is produced by solar, especially when compared to residential wind turbines. Panels are efficient, and when it's sunny, you're juicing.

The real challenge is of course bringing down cost of storage, which is the key to make solar systems efficient (not just cheap).

In this scenario, if your adversary produced or had control over your entire military supply chain, do you think that would give them less leverage or more leverage? Would it make them less hostile, or more hostile? Leverage is everything, in trade, war, and peace.

At least one component of the "America First" strategy I can fully get behind is bringing manufacturing back to the US mainline. If anything that last few months has taught us, it's that we must not lose our ability to produce quality, vital products. Semiconductors definitely falls into that category.

I don't care how it's accomplished, either carrots (tax incentives) or sticks (tariffs). Do what's necessary to bring the production of these vital components here.

And there’s existing talent because Intel has chip fabs there.

Fresh bread is so different and tastier than store bought. It's easy to make, and can be adopted into almost any meal. It was a fundamental cooking skill lost in the last few generations.

Sorry to hear about your flour situation. Flour is much easier to get for us now. Most stores are restocked in this area (south bay). Even Costco has their mega bags back in stock.

The word "can" is very different than "does by default".

Even just doing a static binary for windows and osx will require some VERY complex build systems for most languages. Not with Go. It's simple.

I hope other languages put as much effort as Go has into static linked binaries.

It's already expensive to eat out. Costs can be 2x or 3x versus making it at home (even for simple dishes, such as pastas). I doesn't seem like either the restaurant nor the delivery service has much power to increase prices. Besides, we mostly want to support the restaurant (who lose a cut), so I'd rather just pick it up myself.

Anecdotally, I've seen more people learning how to prepare food at home, since they have much more time. Personally I've dived into bread making. We're also regularly preparing large dinners and freezing portions.

Tz data is not always available (see alpine base image, or scratch). When it is available, it may be out of date. It may never get updated in fact.

> A new time/tzdata package was added to allow embedding a static copy of the time zone database in executables.

This is a BIG improvement. One of the big benefits of Go is static binaries. Having the TZ data includes will make deploying even easier.

> By that, I mean code that would make a good example for someone trying to learn the "right" way to do things.

You’re in luck! Go is unlike a lot of other languages, and that there’s usually only one way to do something, and it’s usually the right way, or at least an acceptable way.

I would suggest you just pick a part of the standard library, such as net/http and just read away since you probably have an understanding of the fundamentals.

Is there a chrome extension or something that finds these links automatically?

Then you can make the same argument for opening up, since a business will become insolvent if left closed indefinitely and we're back into the same situation (unemployment).

I actually hope the ‘interim Health Officer’ attempts to physically close or shutdown the factory, because that would set off a spectacular legal challenge that the county would most definitely lose. I think they'll drop the case before it has a chance to set back the powers of their unilateral decisions.

(The parent comment is flagged. Truly amazing times we live in where simply reminding people of their rights is reason to censor.)

There's definitely a great evil to laws which are either selectively or rarely enforced. Eventually they turn cancerous and are abused.

For example, look at the Logan Act and its justification for spying on politicians.

While interesting, let's not be deceived by this dashboard or these goals. It gives the impression that NY is on the cusp of opening up. The reality is that any of these metrics can have strong downward trajectory at any time. And some (such as contact tracing) might not even be feasible in some of the boroughs.

Everybody seemed on board when it was "14 days to flatten the curve". Now it's indefinite. I can already see cracks appearing, with many more people outside and meeting together. We weren't meant to live like this, and there's going to be a lot of negative externalities (domestic abuse, child abuse, suicide, drug abuse relapse, etc[1]). Remember, it's only been barely a month.

I predict soon these states are going to either be forced to open because of a rebellious population, or be forced to criminalize a lot of otherwise normal people.

In places like SF you might see more sales because people are afraid to rent these homes. They may never get any rent and it would be very hard to evict a tenant because of local laws and policy.

As someone looking for such a home, I definitely haven’t seen the market soften nearly close to what the doomsayers are predicting. Speaking with some owners, I think many of them are instead turning it into a long term rental for a year or more.

I actually wonder about such a person. Do they exist? I haven’t had enough time WFH to tell.

I’ve found the WFH experiment very unsurprising. Diligent and reliable coworkers are just as diligent and reliable. People who were iffy in person are basically non-existent WFH.

Hopefully every other part of your online life is under a difficult to guess pseudonym if you write anything even remotely controversial, because the social justice mob is only looking for scalps, not justice.

Better yet, install vscode, then install either the vim or emacs plugin. The best of all worlds!
