What are some things you did to navigate this crisis thus increasing your net worth?
atentaten··on Coronavirus: 'Baffling' observations from the front line
There is no doubt fear mongering about this topic exists in the media. This shouldn't be surprising. The death coding is surprising, at least to me. This idea of coding deaths in this way is not limited to Italy, but is happening in many countries including the U.S.

Dr. Deborah Brix replied to a reporter asking questions about death coding methods by saying that the U.S. was using liberal methods. In this article Professor Walter Riaccardi (scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health), complains about such coding methods:

atentaten··on Bumblebees’ ‘clever trick’ fools plants into flowering
>"I think it's fascinating how much we still don't know about organisms that we think we know really well," said Prof De Moraes.

I'm always taken aback by these types of statements. The best scientists know that they know very little.

atentaten··on Ask HN: What is your learning strategy?
Can someone expand on this? What is the value of repeating what people say back to them? Is it to show them that you understand what they are saying, or is it to allow the person to think about what they just said so that they might reevaluate it?
atentaten··on Have the record number of investors in the stock market lost their minds?
Isn't this simply another name for diversification?
atentaten··on Federal Reserve balance sheet trends
It's not part of the federal government, but it's supposed to be controlled by the federal government. The Board of Governors is an independent government agency that runs the fed. I would call it quasi-public.
atentaten··on Show HN: Web Skills – A Visual Learning Guide for Web Developers
My commendations on the effort to get this curated. It could be a great tool for visual learners. I suggest adding Jest as a test runner under testing.

I'm curios to know what are your other two commercial products since EasyDataTransform looks useful.
atentaten··on “Don’t Try”: The Philosophy of the Hardworking Charles Bukowski
This is a lesson in what the Taoist call wu wei, which can approximately be described as inaction, effortless action or non-doing. In the context of the parent post, wu wei would imply unconflicted, spontaneous action wherein a person is not "trying" they are simply doing what comes natural to them.
atentaten··on ApostropheCMS – An Open-Source Node.js CMS for the Enterprise
This looks interesting.

Comparing it to something like Adobe Experience Manager/CQ, I wonder if it has mobile editing modes and if any large enterprises outside of their customer logos section are using it.

atentaten··on Ask HN: Quitting Big Tech, what is it like?
> or try to get in to making movies

I'm seriously interested in this. However, I don't see how I can make a living from making movies. What approach or avenues would you have taken for this endeavor?

atentaten··on A Woman Who Recorded 70k Tapes of American News
It would be great if the audio could be transcribed and the text ran through some ML models that could analyze attributes over time, like:

sentiment, new use of words (ideas & technologies), the varying viewpoints for the same story, correlations between when something was first announced to later outcomes, etc.

From this it would be possible to show in a compelling way how the hearts and minds of the masses are shaped by the media they consume.

atentaten··on Draw.io: Online Diagramming Website
Thanks for sharing whimsical. I just played around with this for a few minutes and I found it enjoyable.
atentaten··on Ants trapped for years in an old bunker
Thanks.
atentaten··on Ants trapped for years in an old bunker
There needs to be some clarifying questions. I'm basing these questions on the premise that the trapped ants ate the corpses of incoming worker ants without killing them first.

(1) How did the incoming worker ants come to be in the bunker? Based on the premise, they fell into the bunker already dead. If that's the case and if the ants were not reproducing, unless they have a relatively long lifespan, (2) shouldn't they die out overtime regardless of how many corpses fell into the bunker?

(3) Why couldn't the trap ants make it across the ceiling into the ventilation pipe--are some ants unable to crawl upside down or did the texture of the ceiling impede them?

If the premise is incorrect and the ants have a short lifespan, it's reasonable to think that the "trapped" ants are just an accumulation of worker ants that kept falling into the bunker.

atentaten··on As L.A. ports automate, some workers are cheering on the robots
It's interesting to see that one group (truckers) are welcoming automation since it will boost their take home pay and the another group (longshoremen) are resistant because automation reduces their job security. I wonder if the truckers know that in the foreseeable future the activity of hauling containers in and out of port will be automated as well.
atentaten··on Ask HN: What is your passive income 2019?
I don't know much about this. Could you recommend a single online resource where one could learn the very basics?
atentaten··on Ask HN: What things do you wish you discovered earlier?
How do you now balance the use of your mental energy?
atentaten··on Facebook reveals its cryptocurrency Libra
Do you happen to have a link related to the Las Vegas line of actors experiment?
atentaten··on Ask HN: How do you work on things that will never make it into the sprint?
Make it part of your engineering culture to include stories that tackle technical debt. For example, every sprint or every other sprint you can include 1 or more stories for code cleanup, refactoring and documentation.
atentaten··on The preachers getting rich from poor Americans
>It also opens many people to reading and philosophy...

I would argue that the more religious the less one is inclined to broader reading and philosophy because the practice is usually constrained to one's own religious ideologies.

atentaten··on Have a personal web site
>.. we'd be living in huts.

As someone who has actually lived in a hut, I would like you to know that living in huts should not be used as a derogatory example. In fact hut living was the best time of my life and I long to replicate the simplicity and freedom it afforded.

atentaten··on Ask HN: What's it like to work in the same company for decades?
It would be interesting to know what your role progression looks like over the years. Have you moved from individual contributor to management and perhaps back to individual contributor?
atentaten··on Infants May Be More Likely to Die in America Than Cuba
I've been to Cuba many times over the last 10 years and have seen how pregnant women are treated up close and personal. The difference between Cuba and the U.S. is that Cuba has a greater sense of urgency when it comes to pregnancy. No one is coerced, but there is a community-driven sense of urgency and importance when it comes to following up with your pregnancy.
