Maybe they deserve this? Maybe Hong Kong should fail?

* They firebombed a hospital/building that would’ve served as the quarantine location. This could’ve saved them, but instead, their stupidity doomed them.

* They destroyed city services without realizing, or caring, of their precarious situation.

* Their political backers wanted their city to fail, in order to be the sacrificial lamb, so that China could be destroyed. Interestingly enough, their dreams may be getting closer. And all it took was a novel little virus. The loss of life will be very high indeed, including their own, but they don’t care, nor do their political backers.

* The doctors and nurses abandoned their positions during a crisis, but they have a civic responsibility, and are the first responders to a health crisis. But they just left their posts. Now the people must fend for themselves. What about when this actually becomes real? Are they going to run too? It looks like they will.

I don’t have the answers, nor do I want Hong Kong to fail. But Mother Nature is on deck, and she’s going to take her toll.
Marco, the creator of Overcast debates this situation from time to time on Accidental Tech Podcast.

He recently said that Spotify doesn't seem to be as big an issue as they first expected it to be. It turns out, that most users who listen to podcasts on Spotify didn't listen to podcasts before.

So although Spotify has a sizeable chunk of the market, it didn't hurt the other players much.
Does it mean we get to extrapolate the competence of US tech from a certain app that recently disrupted election results, or one of the countless breaches a-la equifax ?
Cyclists are certainly a menace (IMO) in London - example case from a couple of years ago: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/sep/18/cyclist...

There are a lot of well behaved cyclists, but there is also a hard-core of aggressive cyclists who seem to take it as their right to never have to slow down for anyone or anything, and woe betide you if you get in their way (e.g. the guy in that article above who was jailed after killing a pedestrian had the excuse that he shouted at her to get out of his way, so it was her fault for getting hit). They will go through red lights, turn the wrong way, go down the wrong way of one-way streets, barrel through pedestrian crossings while people are crossing, ride along pedestrian paths etc etc etc.

They are much more dangerous than cars purely because of their unpredictability (compared to cars which 99.9999% of the time do what you expect - like follow the rules, don't drive along the pedestrian paths etc) and sense of being untouchable I guess. Not everything ends in a death like this poor lady, but there are countless near-misses and people having to jump out of the way from cyclists who refuse to slow down or go through red light etc etc every day - it is happening all the time in London and you see it multiple times each day.

There was talk after the events in the linked article about forced registration plates for cyclist to try and bring some sort of accountability, but I think that was shelved "because environment" or something.
It’s interesting, certainly doesn’t fall into the “ If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.”-category.

Playing with their model as linked gives a much better match with reported numbers with a shorter serial interval, 5 or 6 days instead of the 7 assumed by the default model settings.
This is also a better match with the more recently reported case studies.

I find it a little irresponsible to make such an extreme claim from such a limited modelling tool... Small changes to the assumptions can account for the discrepancy seen, and it's unrealistic to expect a basic model like this to accurately represent reality in such an unusual situation as in Wuhan.

Slower economic growth and a lower quality of governance more generally, meaning that there's a huge incentive for precautionary saving. A whole lot of the wealth you're talking about in Europe was created back when the government was a lot smaller and really focused on growth, the Wirtschaftwunder. But those times are past, and there are not many who expect them to come back. So you just focus on keeping what you have.

Hi,

Happy to answer to questions if I can :)
Understood. I appreciate your prompt reply and will keep it in mind. Based on the numbers that you shared above, it seems that you typically co-invest, but prefer other VC firms to lead in a seed round. Correct? If so, do you expect to be approached regarding a potential co-investment opportunity only after a lead investor is found and has expressed their commitment to funding?

The Kerbal player in me has a tentative solution: add a first stage for takeoff assists made of jet engines, not rocket engines. It would still be noisy, but perhaps not that noisy; after boosting it to some sensible altitude, the stage would detach and Starship's rockets would take over. The jet engine stage would of course be recoverable (parachutes, or it could fly itself back like a drone, because why not).
This is basically just guessing with style.
While I don't enjoy the blog either (partly for the reason you cite, and partly for the unspoken assumption behind many posts that FAANG-like companies are a good thing and a good working environment), I wouldn't phrase it like that.

I remember the argument- heard a long time ago, much before mobile phones became a thing- that progress and incumbent replacement in the computer industry has always happened when new, smaller generations of machines replaced the previous ones: from mainframes, to minicomputers, to microcomputers. That is surely how Microsoft became the dominant player in the 80s and 90s.

I guess the current mobile phones could be called nanocomputers, and the opportunity to displace Microsoft's dominance in the OS market was too good to miss.
Your money just goes a lot further when paying for the general provision of public goods (not just giving someone a bonus and calling it "profit sharing") in very poor countries. Some social scientists and analysts are talking about a 1000x multiplier: the social benefit of spending $1 for targeted philanthropy in poorer countries might be the same as someone in a first-world country spending $1000 on their private consumption.

> The US values free speech very much, yet for some reason you will have a hard time to find any podcast who isn't dependend on or tied to some coporate interest (and be it the Nord VPN thing they are selling).

I'm not sure I understand the "yet" here. Freedom of speech protects the ability to say things but has few implications on the incentives for saying things. It seems to frequently be cited as a variety of different things that are tangentially related to public discourse. Anyway, I'd hardly expect people in the 18th century to come up with a comprehensive framework for protecting against media outlets depending on corporate interests to monetize, if that's your concern.

I can't verify it right now but out of curiosity a while back I had a look and I'm sure Spotify were streaming their audio through websockets in some way - or at least linking to audio chunks in the websocket.

You'd definitely have to download, remux, rehost the audio for it to work with podcast clients

I couldn't agree more. Bill G. is arguably the greatest philanthropist of our time, perhaps of all time. Not only does he bring his considerable wealth, but the business acumen to make sure the money is effectively spent, and a keen eye for detail into solving some of the world's toughest problems.

I can't think of anyone more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Bill & Melinda.
Make People Feel “Felt”
No problem, but Spotify is rapidly losing market share to Apple Music and people are not likely to download another app just to listen to an not-podcast. You will lose a large portion of your audience if you can’t be found in the default podcast app not all of the third party apps that use Apple’s public API.

If you were creating a website, how much would Microsoft have to pay you to be exclusively discovered with Bing and not be found with Google?
Could this be attributed to increased public awareness/paranoia? Perhaps people, scared of the disease, are now acting more diligent about avoiding unnecessary social contact, washing their hands frequently, etc.

Excellent drivers maybe, but slightly psychotic when it comes to twisty roads!

I got overtaken over a blind corner in a 50 zone, by a car doing around 100... Had to quickly get off the road once when I realised an oncoming truck wasn't going to slow down or budge, one tyre slipped off the road (or rather there was a crack on the edge of the road, flicked my steering into the woods). Also experienced being in a Tesla driven by an otherwise calm girl, was both fearing for my life and excited the entire time haha.

Would definitely do a road trip around Norway again, and stick to the more scenic routes again, however. So much fun, and so much beautiful scenery. Maybe the latter was what impeded my driving ability :)

If you study on the university by itself I would say that is easier to have a "first contact" with the companies that form the Corporation. However, were I work, more than 70% of the work force have studied outside Mondragon university.
So some thing that are a bit less glamorous than described on the article is that one reason this works so well is because of the conditions of the place it runs in. This coop comes from the basque country, a northern autonomous region of Spain. It is a fairly rich area, with a huge port and industrial past and a pretty tight knit community.

This generates an environment that allows for certain things to happen. One is an area less prone to economic recessions, with higher wage equality and a more egalitarian and humanistic approach to business. On the negative side though there is an insidious xenophobia that permeates the area. Essentially a lot of the ads they run (for example for their supermarket brand Eroski) do so on a platform of "its better because its basque". Like basque cows, basque cheese etc. Many of our companies brag about "we only hire local people", so music festivals for example have all the staff hired locally rather than having an open hiring process or allowing bands to bring their staff.

This is a bit of a double edged sword where we are creating a bit of a local maximum for the basque country economy at the expense of a worse average for everyone else (assuming market conditions can create Nash equilibriums). Now I do believe Mondragon has done some fantastic stuff, but they are not without a fault and they also exist thanks to an environment that allows such conditions to exist and do the work they do.

...I'm probably missing something obvious, but what is ".so"?

I have read the post, btw (liked it - I usually like Rachel's posts) - but still don't understand what .so is.
I don't have to make a living as a musician or podcaster, so can't comment on that perspective. What I do know is that greed changes things. If someone convinces you that you need to make "real money" from something you used to enjoy doing for free, it affects the content you produce. Sure the production quality may improve a lot, but is the music or story better than it was before?
People have really strong reaction here. Outside of popular news, we know how to deal with incomplete data and biased numbers. This probably should be told more often when reporting the cases on the TV, but I expect anyone actually having impact on the issue understands that any actual counts we get are a lower bound, that testing resources and travel regulation affects the reports, and how to take into account other reporting biases. This is not a new idea.
I don't really have a stake in the matter, but as your response clearly shows even just mentioning the topic triggers vehement defenses. You clearly have done your research though, so I respect your argument.

What I will say however, whenever I drive on the german Autobahn at some point it happens to me that I'm in the left lane to take someone over and another car comes speeding towards me from seemingly kilometers away at the speed of a damn rocketship. Whatever the hard numbers may be, this causes high amounts of stress and makes me feel very uncomfortable on the road every time. Not a good state to be in while operating high-velocity death machines!
> Then if a driver has exceeded the 130kph he will invariably be assigned a higher liability for consequences of the accident since the driver accepted the increased risk for accidents by operating the vehicle at a speed above the advisory speed limit.

Does that make any difference if you’ve got reasonably good insurance?
The number of non owner employees is also growing. The numbers used to be much higher when they had Fagor but they fired most of the work force when it went bankrupt in 2013 and the buying company only opened 700 jobs to replace the old plant. Now a ton of their business is their supermarket branch in Eroski and most are temp workers with obviously no owner rights.
Legal alcohol limits are a guideline and not a solid rule. Ideally, they were designed with the idea that personal responsibility would play a role in your decision to drive after having a beer.

After all, you can have zero alcohol in your system and still be impaired in some way like other drugs, sickness, donating blood, lack of sleep, etc. This is why DUI arrests usually involve some judgement on the side of the police officer, and they can make the decision that you're driving impaired even if you are under the legal limit.

I am ambivalent on the idea of reducing legal limits. For one, it's never been easier to avoid driving drunk, with Uber and the like, and anecdotally it seems that the propaganda against drunk driving is working, with it becoming largely unacceptable among younger people these days (although this would be purely anecdotal, I have no evidence either way). Additionally, seeing how I don't drink, any reduction to the legal limit wouldn't really affect me much. On the other hand, I don't like the idea of zero tolerance laws and I think they always do more hard than good, and additionally I don't believe that farther reducing the limit will have any effect on drunk driving. I also don't much like the idea of farther restricting the decision making power of police officers, there needs to be a balance here: enough restrictions to prevent abuse but also enough freedom to allow officers to account for circumstances and not turn them into law-enforcing robots.

Increasing police budget to get better enforcement of existing laws would be another approach but doesn't seem like a good use of money. I think the most cost effective way of reducing impaired driving related fatalities has been, and will continue being, education and public transport when it comes to urban areas. Ride hailing apps and self-driving vehicles will eventually do the rest.

One kind of legislative change I'd consider taking a look at is reducing or removing penalties for sleeping in your car, particularly in rural and suburban areas. Letting someone sleep it off in their car is far better than them driving drunk, and I think any fears of homeless people setting up camp in their cars, which is the origin of many such laws, is vastly exaggerated.
Cyber: A Decentralized Google
Pretty much all mainstream frontend libraries have moved away from dom based templating (or augmenting dynamic behavior through attributes) for good reason. It simply becomes unmaintainable for anything more complex than basic interactivity.

This approach can't leverage type systems for javascript (like TS, BS, flow etc.)

It is easy to end up with mistakes that don't surface as javascript errors and are swallowed completely.

You hit weird quirks when browser injects additional nodes (eg. tbody in tables) or restructures invalid markup (eg. div inside p).

Ostensibly this approach would help with progressive enhancement, but too often careless usage results in flashes of broken UI which would then fix themselves when javascript kicks in. Then you need hacks to circumvent those with hacks like ng-cloak.

Also, in an ideal world this would help with handoff when working with web-designers who are familiar with only html/css but that rarely happens in practice. Every time a web-designer rearranges things in the dom hierarchy the parent-child associations break and that again needs comprehensive testing.

Having worked with applications written using knockoutjs as well angular 1 (both of which used similar approaches) which organically grew over multiple years and (to put gently) didn't age gracefully, I wouldn't recommend this approach to anyone.

If you can't (or don't want to) go down the road of a full SPA but do want to build interactive applications with non-trivial amounts of javascript, lit-element [1], Vue [2], Strudel [3] and SPF [4] are much better solutions.

You forget the influence of the church. Much of the origins of the coop businesses come from church oriented communities serving their needs in some way.

I'd also argue that lots of relatively limited local maxima where everyone is happy and materially comfortable is a million times better than centralised hell of capitalism as it stands. Limited maybe, but most people won't approach the ceiling in more dynamic places. It's the greatest good for the greatest number.

I read it that the person got sick after the visit to Wuhan but recovered from that before the visit to OP. Hence 3+ days should be enough to rule out a possible infection of OP with whatever the scientist had.

Since they traveled to Wuhan in December, from then to last week, that would've been more than 24 days, so in case they did not get sick yet and I read that wrong, it should also be pretty much impossible, since that would be the longest incubation period of ncov by quite a bit.
