> run for political office

I'm a serious and honest simple man. :)

This is actually an extremely important suggestion. I will check with authorities. Thank you.

Do you have a PGP public key?

Thank you.

I believe it will eventually be known, and I hope someone starts some kind of campaign to boycott companies who are doing things like this during this crisis.

It's not the legality or the right to work from home that is in question. You too live in a small country with too much corrupt politicians and networks of influence.

If I named the company I would be uniquely identified by my immediate superiors as soon as they read this. I might as well ask you if you have any job for me in a couple of months. I really like Porto.

The question about liability isn't that relevant here. Maybe it would be if this could be brought up to an European court.
TYPE-ERROR··on Ask HN: Moratorium on pandemic posts?
It's not being hidden, but it's not being discussed in the open because it seems to put people's lives second to wealth.

This is a novel situation. I'm not sure anybody can make a good prediction about the public health and the economic consequence of this pandemic. Society's answer to this crisis could well result in minor recession followed by a boom of economic progress, fruit of innovations made in response to it.

This sounds like it could make an interesting thesis. It also sounds like a nightmare for abuse. Maybe it could work if implemented by a big social network?

Fear of consequences and not having f-you pocket change. Isn't it enough?

It seems to me that this is a pretty good opportunity for remote companies to have a competitive advantage in the job market. The question is, how many remote jobs exist and how many can be created in a recession?

I too love this kind of humor. Don't worry, I'm not one to break reasonable laws, much less try to harm people. :)

I would not be surprised.

Are lawyers in Porto really that affordable? That is enticing. I'd love to talk this through just to have a non-actionable idea about the legality of this situation.

It was not a rumor, it was a very specific and detailed account that resulted in employee quarantines.

The chain of influences is big enough and reaches into national government, with a confluence of interests. I'm afraid a leak to the press could be more effective than a report to the government.

I believe t will eventually come up because these things are difficult to hide as time goes by.

This is a big electronics company. Those in charge are most probably shut off in country-side mansions.

I finally got my user off the shadow ban. It is a throw-away account. Thank you Daniel!

I realize this is a low-signal post, but I'm still here, unable to sleep, feeling utterly disrespected as a cysec professional.

A few days ago I was a valued member of the team, now upper management is using fear and intimidation to keep a semblance of normality for as long as possible: You want to go home? We won't have you back. I would walk away gladly if I could do it without affecting my team and my employer.

We have all the conditions required for secure remote work, in fact it would be a tighter environment in many ways. Apparently it's too difficult to manage the outsourced resources.

This is why we need the state of emergency declared. To keep people like those from putting more people are risk.

Is there anyone else going through something like this?

TYPE-ERROR··on Ask HN: Is drawing a friendly face or picture on my N95 masks safe?
I won't make any claims of my own, but according to WHO, N95 gives effective protection from the virus.

It's being widely used around infected patients all over the world.

It seems to me that if it wasn't effective we should have seen a very big increase of positive cases in the population of health care providers.

TYPE-ERROR··on Ask HN: Best way to increase typing speed?
Colemak and Ktouch worked pretty well for me.
