And then you would see a mass exodus of users..

I'd argue that the majority of the users that made the site worth using have already left.

As someone who left the site a year/year and a half ago. I agree ;)

Sounds cool, but I value my sleep ;-)

Obviously buying masks is discouraged because there is a shortage and hospitals have a much greater need for them than an uninfected person living in location as of yet untouched by the virus. Its about priorities.

1-2 weeks? That seems dangerously optimistic to me.

Yes. But more than that and you run into space issues. FWIW, Mormons are experts at having enough for a full year for a family that might be 12 members, but they have special things they get like gallon sized cans of unground wheatberries, for making flour by grinding it.

US Government is currently recommending citizens have enough food and water for 2 weeks for every member: https://www.ready.gov/pandemic

This isn't a new page it's their advice for being prepared in general for a pandemic.

Here's a similar page put together by the CDC: https://cchealth.org/pandemic-flu/pdf/individuals_and_famili...

Latter-day Saint here. This indeed was a teaching of the Church for quite some time, not so much anymore as it has shifted to general emergency preparedness [1][2][3][etc]. Some indeed still keep decent food stores though, we can order cases of #10 cans for varying things from the Church online [4] (the general public can too).

Some people keep a lot of freeze dried stuff, some can their excess that they grow, others just keep a lot of staples on hand that they rotate through. Personally I can feed myself for a few months on freeze dried stuff and 10-30 year canned staples then another 1-2 months on stuff I rotate through and eat daily (beans, oats).

How about you actually quote it?!

>Robert Bosch LLC provided travel support for us to attend CES 2020. Bosch Sensortec, responsible for the Smartglasses Light Drive, was not aware of nor involved with the travel support.

I quoted what was on the page when I read it. They changed it at least twice, the last time I checked it said something about Bosch Sensortec, and I had to Google it to see if they were related to the glasses. They since apparently added that in as well.

Holy shit. The parent comment is as disingenuous as the implication they’re putting the author of the article. It earned a very rare HN downvote from me.

Looks like they changed the disclosure at some point. The original version of the article is here: http://archive.is/QCmA6

Thank you! I tried using internet archive but somehow it wasn't loading the page properly. I was going a bit insane, but remembered it's just the internet and moved on.

I can confirm that the article was edited. It said exactly what the parent comment wrote when I read it.

This IMHO makes it even worse. The article should clarify that they updated this description.

You don't refactor your code? Fix bugs months after development? I suppose you aren't the target audience..

There are a lot of projects that are just deliver-and-forget.

>Surely trusting the government is a more reasonable policy?

Somebody clearly didn't learn anything about history..

Well I mean that is the point of abstraction.. if we always had to have our heads at the lowest level we would not be productive what-so-ever.

"understanding the basics of the operating system internals and how your code interacts with them" is far, far from the lowest level.

It is also an essential understanding for writing quality, performant code in any context--web development included, even frontend.

Seems like people assume FB employees are 'gifted' they are technically capable, and emotionally and philosophically infantile.

In a way that's what you want for the stereotypical "startup culture".

Nobody in their fourties who has the life experience of being married with kids is going to work lots of overtime and put up with their boss acting like a child and treating them like they are nobody. I guess that's why they like hiring college grads (that and they don't know their value so can be paid much less).
