What if I told you that macOS Mail and Sublime Text was made with "web" techbology? You can make slow apps with bad UI in any language or framework, JavaScript just makes the barrier to entry lower, so you will get more shitty apps.

Progressive web app (PWA) just means that it use feature detection to enhance itself. The most notably features are "add2desktop" and "service workers". "add2desktop" lets you add the app to the app drawer, and service workers lets you manage the cache and, listen for push notifications, and acts like a proxy in front of the app, making it possible to serve from the cache while the user is offline.

Yup, this is super important to note too. You could make minimum wage in your state -- and likely live in a state with an overall higher cost of living -- but still not qualify for Medicaid because the low wages you make aren't low enough. It's awful.

When talking about competence in containment we need to look at aggregate data. Clearly there will be pockets of mishandling things, everything from medical facilities to airports etc.

Aside from the initial mishandling due to downplaying the situation and hiding information, the subsequent actions seems to have been pretty effective. Outside of Hubei the virus seems to be pretty well contained and relatively quickly at that.

That paper correlating temperature with transmission is comically bad. As stated above, the likelihood warmer temperatures by themselves will have any affect on COVID-19 transmission or deaths is close to zero.
wow dude, spoiler alert
Let me put it this way. In your understanding, why are people who are working constantly and cannot take breaks from work in poverty? They aren't unemployed. They are working themselves to death. Such a situation would be ridiculous in, say, the midcentury postwar boom, where working people were generally ok. Today a lot of people in that category are squeezed, overworked, overstressed, and find themselves in a very destructive cycle. You say we need to fix the "poverty" part of it, but I think perhaps a more accurate telling is that poverty is a symptom of people being exploited, undervalued, and not being paid in proportion to their contribution to the bottom line. Meanwhile executive pay and "shareholder value" metrics are doing well.

And by the way, there are plenty of middle class people who are accurately described by my statements, you don't need to be in poverty to get there.

> Django requires you to "meta-model" you have to write Python classes that map to your tables, this is usually duplicate work.

You don't have to duplicate any work because you don't actually have to write any raw SQL, since it all gets translated by Django. So yes, there's an extra layer of abstraction there, but no duplication on the developer's part.

> Django's ORM must support many databases, so it produces "least common denominator" SQL and is (stock) oblivious to Postgres' many enhanced data features, you are forced to use various community sourced extensions to get access to features that have been in postgres now for many years.

Practically every Django release adds support for more and more database-specific features out of the box, to the point where I don't remember the last time I had to use a third-party library to take advantage of a PostgreSQL feature. But even if you do, so what? It's no different than using a Postgres extension.

The HUGE advantage that ORMs like Django, Rails, etc have over writing raw SQL is their composability. Django provides lots of tools that make it VERY easy to reuse code relating to models and querysets, whereas SQL is notoriously difficult to keep DRY. And this issue gets significantly worse when you start to pull in data that lives outside of the DB.

On top of that, there is the more obvious issue that good DBAs are rare and expensive compared to Python/Ruby/whatever engineers.

> Django's security system is django only. You are forced to go through django for access control across your business. Eventually this abstraction leaks, and someone starts logging into the db from some other framework and now you have two problems.

I do completely agree with this, and I think it's Django's weakest point by far. But you can always forego the ORM's integrity/trigger features and add those at the database level in your migrations.

> This is my opinion and I'm sure I'll get downvoted for it, but Django, Rails, Node, all the Java frameworks, all the meta-modeling and NIH syndroming, are all utterly obsolete.

Hasura and related projects are really great, don't get me wrong, but this is outright FUD. There are pros and cons to both approaches, and to claim that one is "utterly obsolete" is nonsense. There are lots of situations in which turning the database into your API just doesn't make sense.
Just an observation... The batteries included model of Rome where it handles ESNext, JSX, Typescript and Flow out of the box without configuration appears to be a marked departure from the Babel preset/plugin model. Customization is all fine and good, but most people don't want to configure anything and are happy using defaults, even if it's suboptimal in some cases.

I can't count the number of times I've looked at a data visualization and wished I could sit down with the person who made it and read an Edward Tufte book to them. There's just so few good examples out there of data visualizations that respect basic principles of visual communication, like the ones outlined in this article. They generally seem to aim more for visual impact (like the useless 3D display in the article, which you've gotta admit is striking) than for clarity, which I guess is understandable but is still too bad.

> Patient privacy is a huge concern for us and something we think about all the time. Quite simply, we will never share any of our users' data without explicit consent and we are more than happy to both delete our users' data and destroy their sample if requested.

This should be the default rather than a user-requested option. I would consider auto-deleting user data (ensuring privacy for anyone's data outside some window of time) to be akin to auto-opt-in organ donation: most people don't know or care enough to change the default and will go with whatever is on the form (which is why organ donation is 99ish% of some populations in Europe and drastically lower than that in the United States - we should ignore the moral implications of choosing for people and focus on the outcomes of choosing a 'sane' default action). If you want an iron-clad guarantee sequences will never fall into the hands of bad actors (anyone who has delusions of genocide, for example) deletion/destruction is the way to go; perhaps even two or three passes of bit-by-bit overwrite.

Consider a future where such sequences will allow bad actors to engineer viruses against family units, regions of peoples, and so on.

Great question. We use a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited lab, and we must keep the specimen through the completion of the testing and result reporting. If there is any sample remaining after testing, we will hold onto it longer in case we need to run a validation or other tests as recommended, but we will, of course, have it destroyed at the request of the patient. It's recommended that we keep them for as long as they are stable.

> shouldn't they also fear the flu virus every year?

Why is it that people need to be told the same thing over and over again?

Never mind: (1) the R0 [1] of this virus is somewhere between 3-4 and that of the flu virus is closer to 1, that means that you can have a lot more cases, and quite fast. (2) the flu virus has a mortality around 0.1%, this virus is somewhere between 2-3% [2]. (3) the chances of severe complications (pneumonia) with lasting damage are about 20% once infected.

This has nothing to do with global warming or 'dormant viruses', it is an example of Zoonosis [3] , a pathogen crossing the 'some animal' -> humans species barrier.

In the grand tradition of USA politics, that responsibility has almost entirely been abdicated to the states.

Some states took federal funding to expand Medicaid and make it available to anyone making 138% of the federal poverty line -- think around $35k annually for a family of four.

Others did not. Consider Texas: medicaid is available for children, pregnant women, adults caring for children, and a few other special groups (children transitioning out of foster care, certain disabilities, etc.) It is not something that is available for all Texans.

In Texas, a single parent caring for one child would have to make less than $103 per month to receive coverage.

Ofcourse you can validate input!

Validation != Sanitation

In this thread some people seem to confuse those.

You can validate if all input characters are utf-8. But the moment you start to 'sanitize' non-utf-8 input into utf-8 you are in trouble. It's best to notify the user that the input validation failed and that you don't accept the input.

> The reasoning is that it’s similar to a government official holding a meeting, or other such public forum. That has to be open to all comers without viewpoint discrimination.

Except this isn't true. There are a number of exceptions where a public official can hold a meeting that is open to the public but only allows very specific topics to be discussed as chosen by the public official. In some cases, only the official may speak which means it isn't a public forum at all. Public officials in public meetings even have the power to exclude people based a a variety of criteria such as the case where someone is disrupting the meeting, or a press briefing. Knight vs Trump ruled that none of those exceptions could apply to Trump on Twitter, in essence making Trump's twitter account a completely public forum whether he wanted to or not.

In the case of Marsh vs Alabama, both parties involved were private. My point in bringing up Knight vs Trump was to point out that the issue of social platforms as public forums has already been decided in very narrow cases. It seems like Prager U's best legal strategy would be to argue for the expansion of the public forum designation to apply to youtube. A number of people in this very thread have expressed sympathy to that approach so it's not out of left field. Without youtube being declared a public forum, Prager U's first amendment approach is dead on arrival as the court rightly pointed out in this case.
Maybe skip the bobbing for apples activity, but otherwise I would just keep an eye on things. If they’re still at school, then they’re plenty exposed there — so is a birthday party going to make the difference?
