Going to guess defense contractor.

They're opening Seattle offices this year. Or at least that's the plan? It might be affected by the epidemic.

>It's adding a degree of separation in the same way that saying water instead of dihydrogen monoxide adds a degree of separation between the name and knowledge of chemistry.

The degree of separation in our discussion has to do with adding an additional step to knowing the origin of a virus. What would the intent behind your example be?

You're the only one saying "removed" here. Removal and abstraction/adding an extra degree of separation are not the same thing. Removal means you can't access the information at all, no matter how many additional steps you take. If removal is what you have had in mind all along, that goes back to where I was going with my original question, and your response here provides me with a definite answer. Thank you :)

>It's not adding a degree of separation between name and knowledge, no. It's removing unnecessary and also potentially-damaging information from the name of a pathogen

How is this not just adding a degree of separation between the name and knowledge of the "unnecessary and also potentially-damaging" information?

That's...exactly what it is. You have to perform one more step to reach the information. It's not "removed" because you can still access it. That's what an additional degree of separation means.

>Why are you not advocating for a name like SARS-CoV-2, which contains more information and is more accurate?

I don't care about the name at all, and you are making huge assumptions here. I would even argue that having SARS in the name is problematic due to its prior association with a specific region in the general public's mind. I'm surprised you didn't consider that before me.

The point is that information is deliberately abstracted behind an additional layer for the sake of making it more difficult for the average person to obtain, and the ultimate intent behind that added friction.

You aren't responding to my question regarding intent at all.

>This is to help curb irrational fears against a certain area.

...by adding an extra degree of separation between the name and knowledge of the origin. Right? Do you disagree?

Easily fixable if you stop testing, or officially attribute death to something else.

No, the course is 10 days IIRC.

I bought aquarium chloroquine to use as a last-ditch resort if I basically have to choose between taking it or dying due to hospital overcapacity. No harm to patients there IMO. I spent $60 for the 10 grams recommended for a course (.5 g a day). That was last week, and it's so much more expensive now.

Where do you recommend buying them?

My ideal mix is either 80/20 or 60/40 remote/in-office. I have been 20/80 my entire career up to the CV outbreak (1 day WFH minimum every week).

I prefer 100% WFH to that, but I dislike not going to the office at all. This is my first time being 100% WFH for this long -- my previous max was a full week.

>But how can you objectively establish that somebody is unattractive?

Dating apps are a good data point to start with.

It's the same underlying app/framework, but not the same content and users, right?

Don't forget the service industry. There's a correlation between how attractive you are and your earning ceiling for bartending and waitering/waitressing.

You can hack that judgement with money.

I don't believe they'll ban it. I do believe they'll increase friction to the point that it becomes a huge pain to use either for anything but prototyping.

It's not about the severity of the punishment so much as who administers it.

Was anyone in either of your two examples imprisoned because of what they said or did?

I don't like how people are saying that theories regarding it being accidentally leaked are conspiratorial in nature.

Intentional leaking? Sure, I think it's fair to consider that a conspiracy theory. But not accidental.

Do you think the Chinese governments (provincial and central) are overreacting then?

This isn't their first round of large layoffs.

Tori Amos fan forums.

Specialized surgeons in the US are the top 1% of the field, especially if they own their own practice. That's really not a fair comparison. Especially when you account for artificial control/capture of supply and demand through the American medical system, which includes everything from schooling through residencies, all the way up to employment and licensing.

Lots of doctors make under $200k. I would say the majority do, because the majority don't own their own practices (partly nor in whole). Most doctors in the US are just salaried internists.

I think more than 10% of SWE with experience in the US are making that much or more when you account for compensation that is not pure salary.

>You need to make as much money as a doctor to afford housing. So did everyone become a doctor in the past 10 years?

Plenty of people who aren't doctors can make doctor money now. Just look at tech.

It does if you spend time in the sun.

I'm a temporarily-embarrassed survivor of catastrophic climate change.

Which brand? I've never considered a latex mattress, and I need to replace my current one soon.

I think you should put this in the project readme. I just kind of glossed over the description while reading it before I checked the HN comments, but knowing who you are makes the project more interesting and significant to me.

Right. I don't know why pointing this out without whining or complaining about it seems to make people upset. I'm not tall or white, so it's not like I'm bragging. I'm also not trying to use it as an excuse, or to bring others down for having to try less. It just is what it is.

God I hope so, these bags are killing me.

Being tall is a huge advantage. Over 6' is tall in the Bay. So is being white. Don't sell yourself short.
