It would be a crushing blow to the athletes, who get just a few chances to do this in their lives. If it looks like holding normal games would be a health disaster, perhaps they should hold the games, but without spectators. Everyone can watch it via TV or streaming.
Pharmacists are Health Care professionals and they're part of the chain of credibility. You absolutely want credible people dosing out medicine, double-checking, etc..

In no uncertain terms should unqualified people be answering questions about anything healthcare-related.

Just the smallest questions I ask my pharmacist, I can tell she is super well trained: relatively clear when she can be, when she doesn't know she indicates this, for things out of her bounds she refers to the doctor. Very careful communication.

For a little over $100K + all the training, I'd say it's a reasonable deal. That's about the professionalism you'd want before having someone chime in on your health.

Maybe it could be reformed but I think pharmacists are valuable.

A lot of journalists cite pressure from their employers to be online and "engaged." I think it's probably a bad idea -- possibly in general, but particularly for journalists/columnists -- to say anything on Twitter that you wouldn't say in an an article or column. That doesn't necessarily preclude sharing opinions, philosophies, and politics, but it definitely entails a certain measure of restraint.

Time on an MRI scanner (and to interpret and communicate the result) is a limited resource.

I fear unrestricted access would lead to over utilization by some people at the cost of less utilization by others. It could also lead to nontrivial psychological stress for people who can’t get a full understanding of the results. But I do think we need to strive for increased transparency from price lists to EHR interoperability to patient access to their own records.

Let’s be very clear here since you like making insinuations for my comments. All I am saying is homelessness isn’t the real problem for the chronically homeless. It’s only a symptom. Consequently, society isn’t helping the chronically homeless ie the mentally ill effectively. I’m just saying society needs to drastically change their strategy of help by including more medical professionals and institutions into the mix.

It’s hard to lie with data when mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are involved. Many of these people were discharged from institutions for financial reasons, which adds further credibility for the studies’ conclusions ie these people needed special medical help and society just kicked them out into the streets

At no point did I call the chronically homeless “bad” which really angers me when you accused me of it.

Your personal anecdotes are always interesting but they don’t give people the big picture

I think you're talking about two different things.

Fat and protein giving satiation refers to your hunger subsiding because you're full.

Whereas "eating all sugar as fat and protein prevent hunger from subsiding" refers to the phenomenon that when you're starving, you stop feeling hungry despite the fact that you aren't full. Presumably, consuming sugar doesn't interfere with this, while consuming fat or protein does.
do you use twitter much? these look like standard Twitter threads to me with standard Twitter writing style. threads from blue checkmark guys do tend towards sensational though.
Consider the scale of what you're describing now: cutting down and burying all trees on earth every 30 years.

We could certainly _burn_ all of them every 30 years, but that wouldn't help. The figure you need is the marginal capture after the emissions from the process.

Wikipedia says our current emissions from fossil fules and cement production is estimated at 10GtC (not absurd compared to your numbers, since you count only crude oil).

So restating, if somehow without adding any new carbon buried _all_ the vegetation on earth every 30 years, we'd remove 21 GtC per year or a net reduction of 11. To get back to pre-industrial levels it would still take 34 years even ignoring the >1000 GtC currently in the ocean surface that would come out of solution and fight the reduction. (I have no idea how to setup the diff eqs for solving for the ocean contributions...)

The fact that an emission free removal and replacement of all vegetation of earth would still take a long time is basically my point around "planting trees" not being a sufficient plan. :)

Not that planting trees is bad, but solving this is going to take some mixture of reduction and magic (presumably both the political and technological kind).

I'm glad your intention was not malignant! I didn't mean to imply it was, truthfully I was just trying to also contribute to keeping discourse civil.

See my comment above about specific things that (I personally think) could have been phrased a bit better; I am not saying you're comment was unhelpful or deserves reprimand. Just wanted to point out to the comment(er) that both comments had aspects that could have been phrased a bit better and chastising one is not as helpful to improving discourse as providing complete feedback in the interest of being fair.

Disclaimer: I deleted a previous comment because on re-reading I think I meandered a bit and thought I could do better.

Could you tell me in what way authoritatian countries (aka China) handles this situation better?

Italy closed 50k people into quarantine, government talks about military and EU was deciding about closing borders. All of this days after confirmed cases. I am sure officials would have no trouble to isolate major city.

China has many internal problems, we just do not see them. Government refuses foreign doctors. If crisis continues long enough it may cause civil unrest. China also depends on foreign imports even for food.

I think US is best positioned to handle this well.
That must be one of the reasons I quit coding.

You mean a Carbon Tax ?

The tax that applies to every single business, every single product, every single process, everything. The one that causes every single vested interest to come out of the woodwork and join together to make it politically toxic.

We tried this in Australia. It has killed every government that even dared to discuss it. And politically it is utterly impossible to defend e.g. "Carbon tax that raises power prices for pensioners".
Once you know it's spreading locally, countermeasures are a lot less effective.

How would you prepare for a 30 day coronavirus quarantine in your home?
People under quarantine often complain about inadequate food, or lack of food. My proposal - stock up on dry whole grains and beans, which have a long shelf life. Also buy an instant pot, sprouting jars and a supply of Vitamin B12 supplement and soap. (Oat Groats and Mung Beans would be good choices). When the quarantine starts, cook bean sprouts, beans and grain in the instant pot, repeat as necessary. Note that when it cooks, the instant pot also sterilizes the food. That's my idea, what's yours?
I know we haven't yet resolved what is happening now. But I'm curious - what happens this coming winter with this virus?

It is my understanding that SARS and MERS were extinguished - they are not circulating anymore in the general population. Given the dispersion of this virus already, I can imagine hotspots rotating around the globe until the winter.

Will it then explode in numbers once again in the colder temperatures/lower humidity of winter?

So... you're saying that there's not an accumulation of plastic waste / microplastics in the environment, or that we know any impacts or benign or negligible?

Good news if true, would like to know what position there's the most credible evidence for.

> and "landfills = bad".

I'm a fan of consumer goods, so naturally it's convenient for me if landfills == good, but I also tend to wonder (a) exactly how effectively they isolate waste issues from, say, groundwater or other environmental circulation and (b) if there might be some volume threshold past which landfills aren't an adequate solution for addressing waste streams.

I have been thinking for years that the only economic entity that might be able to take this on is Wallmart.

I believed that if there was a single thing Barack Obama could do, it would have been to convince Wallmart to heavily invest in healthcare, the point of building clinics.

Walmart is quite a different beast than other companies. Walmart, by strategy, does not compete on margin, they compete on volume. Since high margins are a problem for volume, they actively try to suck out margins in a product all along the value chain.

Walmart pushes suppliers to improve their own cost metrics and has enough power to do it. They basically use their leverage to force down prices, knowing they'll make it up in the long run on volume.

This is a very, very different approach to business than basically anywhere else, and possibly has ever existed and it's one of the few magic things that makes Walmart what it is.

The 'literati' classes love to hate on Walmart, but consider how powerful this machine is: it basically sucks profits and inefficiency out of the value chain like a vacuum, handing over the surpluses to consumers. They basically enable 100 million Americans to live at a standard of living not otherwise possible.

Health Care is the most bloated sector in the entire world, and there's so much juicy fat to be cut, if there's any operational entity has the scale, operational ability, customer reach, efficiency to pull this off it's walmart.

I hope they expand into basic medicine, family medicine, all of the basic kind of testing, and insurance.

I can't say I'm otherwise a huge fan of Walmart, but if they end up raping and pillaging healthcare in the US, they could literally be creating the biggest benefit capitalism ever provided for Americans.

I'm a huge, huge fan of this. I haven't stepped into a Walmart in years, but I'm thinking I need my teeth cleaned ...

It's worth reflecting on how many novel pandemics a 40 year old person has experienced in their lifetime.

HIV, SARS, MERS, Ebola, Zika, COVID-19...

For some reason it feels like a "only in the history books" event -- and yet it's actually quite common. The average-aged American (38) has lived through multiple epidemics -- including one that has killed 30 million people (HIV) -- and yet we barely talk about it.

Section "How to take CO2 out of the sky"

Where are cryocooling-based options?
Just my opinion, of course, but I guess one very simple way I think about it is, a government that expends a lot of effort controlling its people even in normal times is naturally better equipped to do so than a government that generally encourages individualism and freedom among its population.

For example, North Korea reportedly executed a guy for breaking quarantine [1]. China may not be nearly as extreme, but the government is similarly domineering. If your choice is "be quarantined or be disappeared" then you shut up and stay home. But "be disappeared" is not the alternative in
many Western countries. Again, just my totally uninformed opinion as a coder sittin' at home. In any case it'll certainly be interesting to see how it turns out.

I'm an EU citizen as well.

EU ISPs may not sell your data for advertising purposes but they do log your traffic in order to report it to local security agencies.

I understand that in the EU we enjoy stronger privacy laws, however trusting your ISP, given they have the ability to link your traffic to your real name and address, is incredibly naive.

For protecting privacy we need both laws and technology.
They might be slow but they are by far the best way of sequestering CO2 at the moment.
I made this same recommendation and got downvoted(?!). Bidets really are a great invention. Basically cut your toilet paper down to almost nothing.
I integrated the PV curve at constant temperature, so P = nRT/V and dW = P dV = nRT dV/V. Then we can write W = nRT log(V0 / V1) = nRT log(P1 / P0), and n = M / 44, the molar mass of CO2.

Also, you can't restore the initial pressure because at the initial pressure the CO2 takes up a whole atmosphere of space!

> I do not understand how DoH changes things in a household settings.

Imagine you run a PiHole or use a service like OpenDNS. It doesn't matter what you've chosen to use or block, what matters is that you've made a choice to utilize DNS filtering for certain things.

You soon discover that some apps and devices don't respect your DNS decisions. They make money or derive other value through communications that are blocked by certain DNS-based filters, so they query 8.8.8.8 or some other DNS directly. You figure out how to make them respect your choice, through a combination of restricting DNS egress and DNAT at the router, and all is well again.

Mozilla and Chrome come along with DoH. That's alright. You can configure them not to. There's the canary domain, so you don't even need to configure browsers manually, tho I expect the canary will eventually go away -- it is destined to be "abused" by every entity in a position to get away with it.

What's going to come next is real the problem: Every entity which can benefit from being able to bypass DNS filters is going to move to DoH. It's in their best interests to do so. They don't need to respect the canary. You won't even be able to tell what they're doing because everything is encrypted with TLS and have pinned their certificates.

App will do it. Embedded devices will do it. Actual malware will do it.

This outcome is inevitable and that is my objection to the mere existence of DoH.
Which languages are you reading them in?

For me the argument holds in practice as well. I'm mostly reading my combinators in Haskell, and the loops in Python or some curly brace language.

If you use a general purpose combinator like mapAccumL that has almost as much power as a loop, you don't get that much extra readability compared to the loop.

It's still a bit better, because that combinator still has to process one element of your list for each run through it's "body"; and it clearly warns you by it's very name that it's not just a filter or map, so there's less possibility of confusing it for something simpler.

And, of course, not all loops are created equal. When applicable, for-each loops are much cleaner than classic C-style for-loops for example.
