You’re saying that a research proposal that combines corona viruses and the very specific advantage from the virus that makes it so effective in spreading in humans is not a strong evidence?

Just a suggestion: you could donate "time", which probably could be valued much more than $1k:

- Contributing back the changes you've made (if any)

- Improving official documentation

- Writing blog posts on how you used the project

- Taking some time to fix upstream open bugs

The fact this even reached Hacker News front page surprises me, maybe because the writer is "famous"? Pure sensationalist tittle with a very poor and marketing driven content.

I see how the issues could be a "no deal" for the post writer. However, I have the impression that software engineers forgot that we are exchanging labor for money and it is normal to put our heads down sometimes. Let's stop with the "drama" when every single of our requests are not attended.

Hi Peter! Thanks for doing the AMA. Do you know what is the current processing time for prevailing wage (PERM)? I believe my lawyers applied on August, no response yet from the DOL. (Their website doesn't display updated response times)

I act quite in the opposite way. Too much thinking hurts the pleasure of living in the present. If I wash the dishes and not my spouse is because in the present makes more sense for me to wash it, that's all.

I follow almost an identical routine and works for me. I also find important to try to reduce the amount of time I am "thinking" about work.
