Authy has its own in-house format for keys that it uses alongside the open Authenticator standard. Keys stored in Authy's format don't need a passphrase to decrypt.

Authy could encrypt your entire database before syncing it, regardless of the key type, but they don't. I mention in the Twitter thread that (at least at the time) Cloudlfare's tokens fell under this category and were vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks[0].

It's possible since then Cloudlfare has switched back to using the Open standard instead. I haven't checked because I don't use Authy anymore -- I dropped Authy specifically because I personally verified 3 times in a row that my Cloudflare token did not require a passphrase to decrypt on new devices.

One nitpick: AFAIK the issues at the city/county level come from service contracts that guarantee exclusivity in return for things like providing service to sparsely populated (unprofitable) areas and discounted rates for the poor/disabled/etc. You can argue that those deals shouldn't have been made, but then the local government would have been allocating public resources (running wires under streets, conduits, etc) in a way that excluded their disadvantaged constituents.

Anywho I am a proponent of Local Loop Unbundling. Limited conduit/pole space and complex webs of property easements make wired telecoms natural monopolies. Have the government own the conduits and fiber cables, and rent them to service providers instead.
Beavertonian here, so not that far from you. Since this teacher started showing symptoms on the 19th that means it's been passing around for maybe 2 or 3 weeks already - bit of a scary thought.

Since kids are only developing a very mild illness from this, it seems most likely that this teacher caught it from one of the students.

I didn't make it clear, but I'm talking about metro areas. Longer distance commuting would be better catered for with separated bike paths. My city is almost there, with separated bike paths for commuting, but then it reverts to car-dominant in the city, which doesn't make any sense.

But you can totally ride faster than walking on footpaths provided they're big enough, and it's easy enough to get on and off the path when needed. Not commute speed, but fast enough for inner-city commutes.
In this case the person was showing symptoms back on the 19th - 9 days ago. They could have been exposed up to 2 weeks before that. No way this is isolated to the West Coast now.
Surprised how long he was asymptomatic. That is concerning to me.
I really don't get why people get so worried about this. Especially on a science oriented forum like HN.

At this moment, even if we assume that there are 100 times more unreported cases than reported cases, the odds are so low that there is simply no reason to be worried, even if attending an international conference. It's true that people do get sick, and die, and it can happen to anyone. But people also get into all types of unlikely accidents, and we don't let this affect our daily life. Besides, symptoms are mild for most people. We're not talking about Ebola here.

I'm blaming the media. They make a "good" job at reporting each new individual case, making you feel that "this could be you" but IMHO this is noise. What I want to know is, how are countries prepared, what steps will be followed if this gets out of control, what is currently the probability of catching the virus, what do we know about the virus, how could the situation evolve in one week, one month and so on....

There are effective ways to mitigate the virus propagation other than canceling all events and stopping our economy, with all the adverse consequences we can imagine. For instance, starting by following the recommendations from health organisations. Such as stay home when showing symptoms, washing hands and so on. This is not followed by most people in Europe (and I suspect the US too). I see people coughing all the time in public transportation (compared with Asia where people wear masks).

EDIT: I'm not saying that we shouldn't be concerned or prepared, but I wouldn't go beyond the recommendations from the CDC, and I think that catching the virus now is extremely unlikely.
Unlike many outbreaks, covid-19 appears to disproportionately favor the young. There have been no confirmed fatalities[1] under the age of 10.

Thanks, yes, this shows how it is flawed for the XOR-variant of the OTP.

In 09:05 ([0]) you can see why, namely that K and K cancel each other out.

I don't think this would be the case with an additive cipher.

EDIT: Continuing the thought with an additive cipher:

P1 + P2 = C1 + C2 + 2K
2K = P1 + P2 - (C1 + C2)
K = P1/2 + P2/2 - C1/2 - C2/2

Uhhh... we know both Cs. And... that's it?

Masks primarily protect others from you, if you are sick. They generally do not protect against others having the disease. If there are aerosols with the virus nearby, a mask won't help you, because your eyes are still exposed.

I agree that testing is the way to go, but there are only so many tests you can do (physically, depending on supplies), so you really have to prioritize those who have actual symptoms.
> I really don't get why people get so worried about this. Especially on a science oriented forum like HN.

Because of the death rate.

We're basing what we know on China, but can we really trust their numbers? We'll soon have more reliable figures from Japan, Korea, and Italy.

Iran has reported a death rate of up to 17%.

Healthy people are dying too. Young people.

And if the medical system gets overwhelmed, those that develop pneumonia will be fucked.

Yes. Everyone gets a ballot. You don’t have to request one.

We also send everyone a book with the candidates, explanations of the ballot propositions, and some other info.

I totally agree. If you did have a sick attendee, there would be a lot of exposure. 3500+ a few hundred.

I also assumed that attendees were unlikely to contact an infections person, develop the disease, and progress themselves to a infectious state during the course of their trip.

From what I have read, the median time from exposure to onset of illness is 4 days (interquartile range 3-5 days), and from onset of symptoms to first hospital admission is 2 (1-4) days.[1] If you believe the CDC, WHO, and EU that asymptomatic transmission is minimal, the latter number is the risky period.

That's certainly not true in the US.
One somewhat spreadsheet-related error I experienced firsthand was when most people in the class I was in got the wrong grade for the final. The professor had ordered the students alphabetically in a spreadsheet, then copied their grades from there to the website. But one student had a name with a non-ascii character, and the spreadsheet and the website disagreed on on the alphabetical ordering in that case, so most students got the grade of the person alphabetically next to them.
Do you have a link to a policy document or an article that states this?
Not really, we've built a culture around pushing ourselves to work even when we are sick.

What would be more constructive than being scared is to work positively to end this culture.

Edit: to be really explicit, staying at home for several days when you feel sick and even after you think you have recovered should continue, even after the fear of the Coronavirus dies down.
K8s can be great but at a largish retailer (billions in yearly revenue) it took a team of engineers on the better end of the company's talent pool to manage the clusters. Those salaries can buy a lot of serverless service usage and according to uptime metrics better reliability. On top of it the teams adopting serverless generally had higher velocity. At scale there were a few use cases that needed to economize but... Largely not.

async/await is a better design pattern without considering low-level APIs such as epoll. It is not a new kind of threading/loop. Python provides a user-level scheduler for developers, so they don't need to implement their scheduler from scratch. In my opinion, the reason why using an event loop can acquire better performance is to decrease the number of times to lock some critical sections. Also, this pattern can increase the cache hit and mitigate CPU context switch frequency.

Go check out the case fatality rate and estimated r0 for the Spanish Flu of 1918-the deadliest pandemic of the past several centuries. You'll note that its characteristics are fairly similar to what we know of Covid-19. The only break we get is that young adults don't seem nearly as susceptible to Covid-19 as they were to Spanish Flu. But everything else points to the possibility of a pandemic along the lines of Spanish Flu. That's why we are so concerned.

Media aside, the CDC isn't prime to exaggeration, and China isn't prone to completely shutting down the economy of entire provinces of millions of people without dire need.

And there's every reason to believe we will have a similar experience to China's.
I volunteer at shelters and have spoken to many homeless folks. It’s hard. I feel you.

First you gotta have a place to live so you can focus on other things like finding a job. To find a job you need an address and a bank account.

Don't have links, and there is much debate. The tricky part is people die quicker than the recover, so any death and recovery totals measured on the same day are measuring different populations.

But as people learn more they are getting better ideas on the disease progression. Every number has many assumptions built into it.

Seems like very little is known about how many people have had it and were either asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic. So the actual mortality rate is highly debated, without much real info. Not enough testing kits anywhere (in particular the USA and China) is making this difficult. Even with testing it's hard because and unknown number of people can just shrug it off.

But if you do go to the hospital and they are completely overwhelmed, treating people in hallways, etc the death rate is 10%. There were times in Wuhan where this was true.

If somewhat overwhelmed, able to treat, but not put on a full ventilator, but able to do supportive care (anti-virals, fluids, oxygen, etc) looks like the mortality rate (again for those that go to the hospital) is under 5%. Wuhan has been like this for some days now.

For those that go to the hospital where they aren't overwhelmed and you can get full supportive care up to and including a full ventilator the mortality rate, again for those that go to a hospital, is under 1%. This is seen in numerous countries that have very few cases.
The author mentions that, towards the end of their post.

I strongly recommend watching hbomberguy's video about flat earthers, "Flat Earth: A Measured Response"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gFsOoKAHZg

The short summary is that flat earthers are probably seen as a rejection of established institutions (like capitalism/neoliberalism) that the (correctly) see as a major source of the problems in their life. Unfortunately, lacking the social/political background required to actually understand these problem, they work with what they can understand.

Agreed that that should be a cultural change, and it'd be good for individuals, individual businesses, the economy, and society at large.

The fact that that viewpoint is representative of a broader cultural trend is genuinely terrifying, though. Even ignoring people who have to go to work in order to pay for food and housing (no legal requirement to offer paid sick leave!), there will be a very large group of people who believe it's virtuous to toughen up and go to work anyway, even if they feel like death incarnate.

A lot of people only read the comments on HN. Generally they are more dense and on spot, than original articles.
But what about selection bias? The mortality rate is an upper limit at the moment. Is it just wishful thinking that maybe in reality 100 times more people are infected but show no to very little symptoms? The number of people that can be tested is very limited, so only the cases are tested which are above a certain threshold in severity.
Like I said you test all the people most likely to have come in contact.

And that’s exactly why masks don’t work. People touch the outside of the mask to remove it and then their eyes or nose or they eat.

People don’t understand you have to wash your hands after removing the mask.

You have a much lower chance of catching in right now. Wait a few weeks and that might change.
You are also harming other people when you do; maybe your immune system is all fine and dandy, but plenty of people don't have that luxury. Going to work despite feeling sick means you think your desire to portray yourself as a hard worker takes priority over other people's lives.

I'm extremely skeptical of a 17% case fatality rate (likely not death rate, which is different). That's almost certainly high due to under-reporting of cases. Iran's public health surveillance system is likely not as good as China, and they've not acted with the alacrity that the Chinese have.

But it doesn't have to be a 17% CFR rate to be a disaster. The Spanish Flu of 1918 just had around a 2-3% CFR, but it was easier to transmit than the common flu, so it spread quickly and lots of people died. Covid-19 appears to share the relatively high r0 of Spanish Flu. So there's ample reason to be concerned.

Horseshit. I have something like 50 domains on a popular retail registrar and every single one of them has an MX record, despite me never doing a single thing other than claiming the name; they come by default with new domains. If I was in the Netherlands, every one of them would have DNSSEC signatures too, because European registrars opt domains into DNSSEC by default.

I'm having a hard time articulating how silly it is to try to dunk on MTA-STS for being "vulnerable" to downgrade attacks; it's like trying to say that HSTS is vulnerable to SSL-stripping attacks.
