They have already been reporting for some time that the estimate of this virus is 20-25% severe cases and about 3% fatality rate.

The number of severe cases is significant because that's initially what causes hospitals to be overwhelmed, not least because they'll obviously also want to isolate those patients from others.
I know a lot of people are going to talk about their experience of fancying the other sex, etc.

I would like to say however that for a while now, I've repeatedly reminded my friends that 'gained sentience' when I first watched WALL-E. It made me feel emotions I never had before, I couldn't put words to what a novel experience it was. It's where I firmly demarcate my 'pre-sentient' and 'post-sentient' life.

This actually sparked a discussion among my group of friends, some identifying a moment when someone in their life died, other putting it down to a single panic attack. So yeah, something biologically 'coming online' seems legit.

> Codd got called out for his conflict of interest and was forced to retract his paper … but without much fallout, it seems: today, Codd is still regarded as ‘the father of the relational database’

I found this passage confusing. He is regarded as such because of his work on the relational algebra, and the shady OLAP backstory is unrelated to that.

Also, just today there are reports [1] they released a 78 year old with both diabetes and hypertension - two of the six risk factors named so far - after he tested positive for nCoV-2019, went into critical condition, and fully recovered & tested negative.

Even for the elderly who have serious complicating health conditions, it's probably not a death sentence (unless you are immunocompromised). It's just a problem given how transmissible and sneaky this virus is.

Nobody broken inside should ever use strong psychedelics, period. The risk of triggering nasty things inside is too high. One of my ex' father got triggered life-long schizophrenia from binge drinking at 18.

And yes, there are plenty of us who are well-balanced human beings without any lingering deep issues.

What psychedelics do to us is an experience that can't be obtained in any other way. Too intense, too deep, too profound. Life changing, really. It made me understand things about me, human nature and world that would remain forever hidden otherwise. 1 dose was enough.

The experience is way too intense to get hooked on, it would take me weeks or months to get into mental state of wanting to go back. Plus sensitivity to active substance goes down after use, so its counter-productive to repeat experience too soon. You are literally robbing yourself of the main reason why do it.

Everybody is unique. Some escape, some explore like me, some are just a bit curious. Don't throw all of us into same bag.
OK, understood. So what you meant was more like

puts()'s attack surface is smaller than printf()'s.

This is not how your message appeared to me - "printf() is vulnerable to injections, use puts() instead". Both are vulnerable to "unintended read()-s".
I put everything in Dropbox including all of my projects. In my experience it works pretty well even if node_modules can't be ignored now.

Putting every projects in Dropbox with .git is the most awesome feature of Dropbox. With Dropbox's History and Time Machine feature, you will be almost never able to delete/overwrite your work permanently, even by intention.
Note, of course, that if you want a musical setting for this, the theme from "Gilligan's Island" works beautifully.
But it's not (evenly) full spectrum though, so why would it be white?

I can understand either green (the blackbody peak) or red/yellow (as seen with human eyes through our atmosphere). Who would considered it white, apart from an astronaut?

Albicchiere – The First Smart Wine Dispenser
Interesting coincidence, just yesterday I saw a video on Serbian TV about a similar case of a dog waiting for his owner, who had gone on a bus (as was the routine) and died. The dog is still waiting for him, being fed and taken care of by nearby people, but refusing to be moved from that place.

You can see the video I captured here: https://milankragujevic.com/uploads-cdn/310724819332445.mp4
This is not the right way of counting it.
If it takes 40 days to be declared fully recovered, the recovered number is going to stay low at least 40 days (even though the people on their way to full recovery will most likely survive), while the death number will be increasing from the pool of people which became infected later.

To count it properly you need to follow what happened to people infected at the same date.

I wonder what the specificity of the test is. Even 99% would still mean that out of 200 passengers, these two would just be the expected number of false positives, unless they have done a confirmatory test on them.

Phased array can sort of beam the waves towards satellite, but leaks still happen.

Any interest in taking up swimming?

One of my friends from decades ago had asthma right through his teenage years, and was extremely thin and weedy. Couldn't exercise much without coughing fits and similar.

He took up swimming (!), and although it was slow going at first he eventually developed good lung capacity. And became a body builder. :)

Suspecting the same thing would work for anyone with not much (or damaged) lung capacity.
It's probably more dangerous for older and younger people. So whilst many will be ok, due to its rapid contagion even if it is only a death rate of 0.01% that could be a lot of people.
The human network effect is substantial, but constantly decreasing with increasing connectivity. It’s getting easier and easier to get the same benefits online without much of the downsides.

If people can fall in love online, they can certainly collaborate without having to smell each other.
Average age of the mother at birth in Australia (which doesn't sound unusal to me, but it's Australia specifically being discussed) is ~30:

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/health/average-age-o...

And GP said 'grew up in' not 'born into', so average mother ~40 at 10 years old and ~50 at 20.

So yes, average Australian baby has a 40-50yo mother while 'growing up', especially for the purposes of house expectations which I'd have thought would more likely be formed over adolescent than younger years.
I see a lot of people discussing the fatality rate, and trying to lower the importance of being infected based on that.

We should keep in mind that "surviving" the virus does not mean you will live happily ever after.

A lot of SARS patients that "recovered" ended up with lung or kidney disease afterward.
Depending on wether you're a linux, windows or mac user, you'll probably have different expectations on what the OS is suppose to provide by default.

You can't extrapolate from a single individual.

This coronavirus is said to be very similar with SARS from 2002-2003, which had a mortality rate of 11%.

People are looking at the fatality rate as a % of total infected, which is a misleading statistic. A better metric would be fatality : recovery rate.

Given evolution produced us, if it was a mistake, it would be evolution’s mistake by creating entities capable of such.

Two false statements in this article:

Airbnb uses Druid which is essentially an OLAP cube.

> BigQuery, for instance, doesn’t allow you to update data at all

It's not like that anymore since several years.
That is also misleading.
Isn't the mortality low but the need for hospitalisation very high (10% maybe)? That's fine if you have 1000 people infected because you can free up (say) 100 hospital beds and save those 100 people. But if 1m people get it in your city, you won't be able to get 100k hospital beds from nowhere. So then a chunk of those people will die, even if only for want of an IV drip and some tlc.

Fascinating, would you mind me asking at what age you watch Wall-E?

My teenage daughter simply won't watch it again - too 'totes emoshe'.
This is such an overly dramatic way of looking at it. Even at its most extreme Starlink will not really hurt our capacity to study our night's sky.

We are talking about a extremely tiny part of the sky that will only be visible very infrequently and the position is known at all times.

This does not impact most of astronomy at all.

Cleaning up space is not a technically impossible problem. It just has not yet been done because nobody had a need for it.

The waste majority of these satellites would fall back to earth, they can not stay 100s of years even in the worst case. Those few that do actually break and are to high up to wait out, can be collected once we have the scale of launch and service infrastructure. Until that point they would be on known location and SpaceX could make sure they don't hit anything.

It seems utterly absurd to me to ignore a massive technological leap for humanity because a tiny part of it hurts research (or is assumed to possible hurt research) and the idea that there is not enough space in orbit and that is not convincing at all.
Quote: "Two passengers refused to take the test. And health officials say they will continue to persuade them to get tested.".

We do have backups, but getting back your hundred's TiB is really long: you want to keep it where they are living.

I'm currently working on a solution involving larger data sets to match a record with a binary score (0/1). I'm using Redis with the Bloom Filter module. This works in that the query results are sub-second, but the data ingestion/filter population part is quite slow comparatively (<100 MB/s). Another block for me is if having to use multiple filters to query across multiple sets which just multiplies all the resources needed.
Does Spark have any advantages or specialized filters for this use case? (I have nil experience with Spark, but am ready to dig up if it would really help.)

An iPad is great for drawing image assets that you can use however you want because they're yours. This is great for authors of different kinds.

As an author it's hard to find relevant images for your articles, let alone images with permissive licenses. Drawing them yourself takes up more time but it has several benefits:

- You're free to use them however you want

- They're highly customised (and relevant) for your content

- Ditch the "stock photos" look on your pages

- Add a personal touch to the way you communicate
This cracked me up. I want to ask why, but I know it's to do something silly. Love it. It's reminiscent of MySpace or L337speak
> a good signal is 2 bards

Obviously you meant “bars” but I found myself wondering what kind of throughput a single Bard has, assuming they sing at maximum speed...

Assuming a single (very talented) bard can sing five words per second at maximum speed, and assuming each word is a few bytes, plus some kind of checksum occasionally, we are looking at very roughly 200 bps.

So “two bards” is about 400 bps, or far, far slower than my first modem :)

Definately an odd rewiring of some kind immediately followinuv birth. I remember distinctly, carrying the baby downstairs and visualising me tripping, falling and killing her - or crossing the road and getting a strong visualisation of a car knocking us down. Luckily that seemed to fade after about 6 months.

I still cry a lot at movies now though, not something that I really did before. The kids think their father emptying out his spectacles is hilarious.

The article says a "new type of coronavirus", which is presumably a misunderstanding on the reporter's part; it seems more likely that these are asymptomatic carriers of the same virus.

However, if there really is a symptomless or near-symptomless variant, this would actually be great news, since it would spread rapidly and provide immunity against virulent strains. And this in fact is what appeared to happen with the Spanish flu, where natural selection tended to prefer less virulent strains. (Really sick people stay home/hospitalized and don't spread the virus; less sick or asymptomatic carriers move around and spread it.)
This is the first thing that came into my mind when I read that various governments wanted to evacuate their nationals from Wuhan. THAT IS HOW YOU HELP THE VIRUS TO SPREAD, DUMMIES!

I get that they want their citizens to be safe (genuinely, or to win political points at home - it does not matter), but it goes directly against best practices in disease control.

Great if you’re genuinely in the world of cause and effect, but most interesting problems aren’t really like that. You’re either experimenting (“sending probes”) to test the impact of different things, or focussing somewhere more productive, like the outcomes achievable were the problem to be overcome, bypassed, or simply ignored.
