The malicious cert would presumably only be used against specific targets, reducing the chance that an auditor gets to see it.

But indeed, an SCT and a later timestamp on the log without having logged the cert would be the cryptographic evidence I talked about.
US had banned travelers with recent Chinese history from entering the countries effectively from Feb 2nd.

I would be much more alert right now as regards to people from Europe/Middle East. Iran is a pretty powerful source of infections to the whole region and so far is just keep escalating.

BTW: in Iran's case, they banned entry from China early on, but one of the merchants gets to China via 3rd country and bring the virus back home.

“The bottom line: This isn't about how much people pay in taxes. It's about when they pay it. It would make more sense for the timing to match the receipt.”

It may be worse than that, and it may be about how much people pay in taxes. It’s the same logic as tax deferred retirement accounts. The federal government is either going to spend capital immediately (no gains) or they’re going to make very constrained gains. Which makes a ton of sense, for a government. But if you let wealth sit in the private sector for a period of time, you can let it grow at rates that vastly exceed, compounded especially, what the government can pull. The taxpayer will pay more taxes in raw dollars, but they’re going to end up with more money, both sides are winning.
Because there are other vectors of contact besides breathing. Since we can't stop breathing, we can at least minimize infection through other vectors, even if they represent less likely avenues of infection.

Fair point. Typically I'm on the side of the free market and less government regulation, but this system breaks down if consumers have no choice but to use a small set of companies, who all have an interest in doing the same thing, and creating a new competitor is difficult.

Of course if you don't test, there's no case. I came back from Japan 3 weeks ago, when I saw the news of the community transmission there (happened 4 weeks ago) I figured I'd get tested because of flu symptoms.

The doctor didn't have advice besides to ask the emergency room, who weren't going to send anything in unless I had a high fever and a recent trip to Hubei.

I'd hoped 3 more weeks was enough time for the US to get prepared, but it seems not. Am I carrier? Who knows.

The virus isn't truly airborne. The respiratory droplets can be carried in the air short distances, but direct infection from that is extremely unlikely outside of someone literally sneezing in your face.

This is in contrast to diseases like anthrax, where particles can be carried on air currents basically indefinitely and direct infection from the airborne disease is likely.

I don't think we know yet how easily a previously exposed person can get reinfected. We do know that people can catch a cold multiple times in a short period, and those are varieties of coronavirus. Mutation rate will also play a factor.
My large company has banned travel to certain countries without speciql authorization, and anyone who has been to same before the ban required to work from home for at least two weeks.

If objects can't reference themselves, do you think recursion is impossible in Haskell?

powersOf2 = 0 : scanl (+) 1 (tail powersOf2)

fibonacci = 0 : scanl (+) 1 fibonacci

As I have already explained, immutable objects in Haskell often use laziness. And laziness requires mutability.
There are no concentrations of flu and respiratory problems according to hospital case managers. Clusters aren’t likely to stay hidden for very long, even without kits. I don’t think the goal is to quarantine entire regions, just to slow it down by limiting groups of people in affected areas.
> I don’t want to waste my time talking to accounts under pseudonyms..

I've been thinking about this a lot after newspapers started demanding full names.

What I think I see is that full name policies correlate with more toxicity. This might sound counterintuitive at first but there is a really simple explanation:

- Smart people are careful.

- Less smart people care less.

- The same goes for people who have extremely strong opinions.

- Finally a lot of trolls can live just fine with a made up name that resembles a real one.

Full name policies optimize for trolls, dumb people and people who have very strong opinions.

If real name policies was a good idea, Facebook and the comments in online newspapers should be nice and HN, lobste.rs and Ars Technica should be really ugly and dumb.

The opposite would actually be more true.
TBH, I am not sure the dog does what he does to teach the puppy, rather then to just grab more attention.

Chinese sources report up to 15% critical infection rate requiring life support. There are less than 100k ICU beds in the U.S. Consider the spread rate and do the math. It won't be long before hospitals are overwhelmed and businesses start to shut down to quarantine. When that happens, which stores will stay open to provide food? How will they be restocked if supply chains are disrupted? Weeks ago CNBC reported 80-90% of China's GDP was shut down. How long will your home reserves of food last when restaurants and stores close and truckers stop delivering goods? This outbreak could last for months and it's just starting.

This isn't just FUD for FUD's sake. People need to wake up to the severity of this virus and prep now. Even if it turns out to be mild at this point this is a risk to greater society because of disruption.
Is the virus transmissible via tcp/ip? Let me check my Norton updates...
Not really. COVID-19 is not the first major coronavirus. SARS and MERS come to mind.

Do you even understand risk planning and management? Triage? If the masks help people in direct contact maintain health and deliver health services more people survive, than if random people consume masks without contact or assessed risk. Masks are in short supply? What's the rationale to NOT direct masks to higher efficiency outcomes.

We don't all consume naltrexone in case heroin accidentally falls in our mouth. Prophylactic use of antibiotics ruined antibiotics because of emerged resistance.

If you know you need a mask you can get one. If you want a mask at the cost of a health professional doing their job, shame on you.

Joe doesn't know he's sick. Joe won't avoid getting sick wearing a P2 mask. A health worker in P2 mask and gloves can avoid cross infection risks and help reduce transmission working in an environment of higher risk exposure. if Joe is infected and knows he is infected he will either be hospitalized or isolated. If Joe is prodromal the likelihood the knows and uses a mask to good effect is lower than the likelihood nobody knows and he isn't sick and the mask is wasted.

Do the maths.

Isn't that the same thing? With a couple of exceptions, magazines are advertising services first and foremost, in as much as the overwhelming majority of their revenue comes from ads.
It looks like a nice library. It might be good as a learning tool. I'm not sure what kind of use-case I would want it for, maybe a small game? It looks similar to how I've done smaller/demo/mock-up APIs for frontend apps. I like the simplicity.

I think if I was going to be deploying a real database (PostgreSQL), I'd want to do things with authorization and network configuration; at which point I'd be dealing with enough stuff around the user profile that I'd want my preferred query and mutation design (GraphQL + Relay).

If at any point you're going to be fetching data containing long lists, I'd also prefer to be working with GraphQL and Relay because the design is well thought-out for doing filtering, pagination, and caching.

Decoupling is good any time you want to allow different parts to change independently. Migrating architectures can take a significant amount of effort, but it just depends what you want to accomplish.

> We can't build hospitals out of thin air (China's attempt notwithstanding), and we can't apparate more medical devices, whose supply chains are broken because of our dependence on China.

Seems like a lot of “we can’t” assertions. If any country started seeing ~1M deaths per month or something, I bet they’d somehow figure out a way to do it.

If encryption loses information, there’s no way decryption can bring it back.

In the extreme

Drawing things out so that you're not sick at the same time if possible seems like a win for both of you, and for the health care system in general. The slower it goes, the less health care providers get slammed with too many people to cope with.

I'm having a hard time parsing what a "conservative" discussion of these topics would mean though. Like the left right now, the right doesn't really seem to have a coherent take on these technologies, except maybe some hostility to those who run the companies that make them. It's a grab bag of techno-libertarians, leftover neocons, traditionalists, and some statists. None of these people agree on much of anything anymore.

So, insofar as there's any interesting discussion to be had at all it would just be a mirror version of the left's own infighting on these topics.

>Discussion here are always interesting in that interesting forms of libertarianism come through, some discussions even what would be moderate positions on things like homelessness get attacked, etc.

I assume you mention this because you'd think it interesting to see less libertarianism leak through in the discussion. I'll admit, yeah, that does sound like an idea I haven't really explored too much.
Rust has a policy of keeping the standard library minimal and this is completely reasonable. But sometimes they overdo it. In this case it's nuts that I need to implement my own UnixString because the standard library doesn't expose it, and when I run on Linux I have two incompatible versions of the same thing.

Another example: I wrote a command line app which takes a hostname/ip address plus an optional port number after a colon. And the whole thing's async using tokio. The way the hostname/IP address parsing is structured in tokio and the standard library meant I had to reimplement all of it to add the port number. This all feels like more effort than it should be.
The latest guidelines published by the Chinese CDC claimed so too, a CT scan is required, and RT-PCR tests have to be applied multiple times before claiming a patient is cured.

Can't be zero. At the very least if bits can be randomly flipped during storage from wayward radiation, they can be flipped on copy. Error correction only works if the number of flipped bits are below a threshold. But I don't know the order of magnitude of the error rate, I assume it's quite small given that computers work.

If there was some kind of backwards-time effect going on, then you would expect the experience of waking up just before unexpected interruptions to be just as common as waking up before scheduled interruptions (alarms).

Sure. It would take a WWII-level mobilization to do so, and some very hard trolley_problem.jpg choices about what to do. Even then I'm still skeptical. Let's take medical devices, for example. So we could, temporarily, nationalize a PCB fab in the US to make the circuit boards ... but do we even have the gerber files? Do we have the human capital to QA a new process?

Wouldn't tracking a virus like this be such a necessary situation?
There are at least 100 active viruses with similar symptoms labeled as the common cold. My understanding is that healthy people tend to have a high degree of immunity to a particular strain they have come in contact with, for at least a few years. If someone gets "the cold" multiple times in a year, they are almost certainly getting different strains.
