You're focused on the trees, not the forest. The prior commenter is right: Unless you are very poor (and get Medicaid) or old (and get Medicare), most Americans receive no government assistance for healthcare.
I don't really see the problem here. If the government has cut all the staff needed to respond effectively to a pandemic threat, causing the pandemic to be far, far worse than it would have been otherwise, this is just a case of the voting public getting exactly what they voted for. As a wise Frenchman once wrote, "every nation gets the government it deserves". This should be a lesson to voters in every democratic country about the dangers of electing incompetents to run your nation's government.
The wisest comment yet!
No bad guys in the movies but bad guys in real life can use them. Nice.
He's rightly railing against news organizations that are trying to stoke FUD and panic.
It is interesting how in times of crisis, people start looking for a heavy handed, authoritative response to the situation. Moderates will be brushed aside as weak and impotent.

I do not disagree with you on the point that China's response has been herculean, but we must not forget that this also comes at a hefty price, one that I am personally not willing to pay.

That is studying hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic metabolite of chloroquine.

If you navigate up a bit on that web site and enter COVID-19 for your search you will find about 50 studies, roughly a dozen or so are checking drugs.
> Not that I expect Google to issue fake certs, but DigiNotar also doesn't command 80%+ browser marketshare to soften the blowback.

Not sure how that is relevant. DigiNotar was a trusted root CA in all major browsers. So if an attacker managed to get a fake certificate issued by DigiNotar, they could attack 100% of the users visiting the website for which the fake certificate was issued.

In fact, they did issue fake certificates by accident due to a security breach. As soon as the error was caught, their CA certificates were removed from all browsers. They went bankrupt! That's how serious this business of issuing certificates is.

Clinical trials cost a lot of money, which someone has to pay for. Chloroquine is long out of patent and nobody has much incentive to run trials for it.

It should be the job of the NIH to sponsor trials for out-of-patent medicines, but they aren't very effective at it compared to pharma companies.
They're not attending, though. They're doing online sessions.
Have them set up a minecraft server with spigot if you have the 4G version. And then they can do mods and even make the server available over the internet if you can set up port forwarding and stuff. Yeah, not the most programming heavy task, but it's a good example to teach kids how these services actually work.

Hey!

1. We're working on adding nhost to the Hasura docs as a deployment guide for when you'd like authn + files + hosted postgres in one neat place. Johan just did a slick demo in the community call right now :)

2. To clarify: Hasura Pro is not a hosted version of Hasura. It's an agent that is added to wherever Hasura happens to be running for enabling monitoring/testing features.

Yes, you are right, if 10% of people in your country get infected it would be an absolute calamity... because it is already such an extreme scenario. Does it even have a precedent in modern times?

You know, that's totally fine with me. It's good to have those people around. As I learn more I'll be able to decide for myself what I think of that perspective. Your side is great too.
> They are reasonable opinions voiced in a calm manner.

Many of their videos are wildly against academic consensus and also inflammatory. A classic is the claim that colonialism was actually great for colonized nations.

You can absolutely voice inflammatory and bogus intellectual material in a "calm manner". That doesn't change that it is both wrong and inflammatory.

The thing is, you're already dealing with a patient that might be infected and medical testing labs already process potentially infectious samples on a daily basis.

The CDC has actually issued official guidance regarding Coronavirus biosafety. [1] Other than discouraging unnecessary culturing of the virus, BSL-2 (a fairly common setup) is the main recommendation.

I don't know. I need list of passengers from Koltsevo to Wuhan to make conclusion. I cannot get it. IF this is incidental, I will suspect a student with asymptomatic infection.
> Does anyone else find it ironic that Google (rightly) led the net neutrality fight against ISPs/carriers, with one of the complaints being potential censorship from these entities.

No, because to use a transportation analogy ISPs are like buses or light rail, while websites are like the stores and offices and gathering places that you take the buses or light rail too.

There would be nothing ironic about believing that a city's bus or light rail systems should be required to accept all passengers who have the fare and are not an actual danger to other passengers, while simultaneously believing that a private store or office that one might reach by bus does not have to accept everyone.
I haven't seen the movie but was planning to - is this a spoiler? Does this mean when I watch the movie and see that a character has an iPhone, I know that they're not the real killer?

While a petition for a worker already in the H1B status is almost always accepted, there is still a chance that it doesn't work. There is a chance that it takes a long time to go through (usually a month or 2, but we're talking about the USCIS here :) ).

I changed employer twice with an H1B, and both times I made damn sure that the petition was approved before giving a notice (also, back then there was no official grace period, but I would have done the same).
I wish they'd:

Unfortunately I don't think it is any different. Parents have watched their children die from preventable diseases because they decided against vaccination and they still came out believing that they did the right thing.

People will just double down. The conspiracy will be that it's just an attempt by the government to get you to vaccinate or something.

I’m all for smart people being paid well to work hard. But there has to be a better model. Perhaps something similar to the massive payouts we see lawyers getting in class action suits, except instead of law firms and defendants we have drug researchers and illnesses.
Not to my understanding, but every phone in a movie is an opportunity to sell product placement, and if Apple's agreement says "good guys only" then you're either stuck with that, or you don't agree to it.

You could give a bad guy an iPhone for $1000, but you might rather have Motorola pay you to use their phone instead.
there's a particularly sad story about HIV testing, which is told as a cautionary tale to medical students: during the HIV outbreak, the tests had something like a 2% false positive rate. the result letter made the mistake of telling patients there was only a 2% chance the test was wrong. people committed suicide after discovering their test came back positive.

but they neglected conditional probability. so many people were being tested that the probability they had HIV was much lower than 98%. they changed the letters to say "inconclusive" instead of "positive" and had them take the test again, which reduced the needless suicides.
I assume you must have some form of approval if it is a central part of the movie.

I assume companies can say, no random director you cannot use a Microsoft Surface to nuke the world.

Most VC backed apps like Notion, AirTable, Dropbox and a bunch of others do this when using Google Auth to log in. It seems very common tactic (prolly coming from Marketing & Growth). Google makes it very easy to share your contact list.

When logging in the permissions are (will see your email and contact list). AirTable makes it very very hard to login with GAuth without giving permissions to your contact list.

I feel Google should just disable that permission, it’s abused.
> The individual in that article likely had reasonably good insurance, someone earning minimum wage likely would have insurance that would cover very little if anything and they'd likely owe the entire 3* amount.

That’s worser than I thought :-(
I was thinking that $1400 is too pricey to anybody — turns out that it was higher for people who don’t have insurance.

> For the United States you are responsible for your medical costs

Is this a culture/mind difference, or does everybody in the US doesn’t like this but has no time to fix it? Genuinely interested, as most people in our country almost everybody relies on only the default insurance — is this a cultural difference between the US(western world) and here? Are countries in the Europe similar?
Absolutely agree!

Laws are written by people, and people make assumptions.

When I say "the law assumes" I obviously meant "the people who wrote the law assumed."

I'm sorry if this sounds really callous, but this virus (like most flu-like diseases) is going to mostly kill elderly people and others in very poor health. The "side" that voted for Trump is probably going to be hit harder by this virus.
I dunno. In Knives Out the whole family was toxic, so I think Rian Johnson got around this rule with ambiguity.
I haven't watched anything from Prager in at least a decade, but I'd be surprised if it was anything more "incendiary or demeaning" than "Trump is a great president!" The point stands, that regardless of how many categories they list, the switch that turns off porn shouldn't also turn off political speech. That is a flaw in Youtube, that probably wouldn't exist if they didn't have a monopoly.
Any string of "r/<20 or fewer characters>" is a link to a subreddit, which in this case, the mods of the original have happened to create so that no one else squats on it. As used in reddit comments and this article, they are not referring to the actual "r/wsb" subreddit when they type those characters, though; it's just an abbreviation.
The US is a disaster. Even if everyone in the country caught the virus, and 2% of the population died from it as a result, we'd still be in the same exact situation because there's a majority of people who believe that reality is biased and that some people need to suffer. There would be a huge part of the population who would see the lack of government response (due to a lack of funding and leadership) as a fundamental reason for why we should reduce the role of government influence in these situations.
I suspect this behavior occurs due to product placement. Apple pays movies and television to prominently feature its products. Apple products do not appear on screen by accident. Apple pays for them to appear. Also, then, there is incentive for screen production to never display Apple products on screen without a contract knowing Apple will pay money to ensure their products do appear.

I suspect Apple includes this limitation in their contracts.

Why do these two examples still persist? Why do the frameworks not eliminate them by construction? This is such a repeated pattern, why is it even there?

If I can type a query into a SQL prompt but your framework won't let me put it in there, I am first going to conclude that your framework is broken. No matter how good the reasoning is for why you did it.

Worse yet, it sometimes is broken. Smart databases understand that whether they should use a particular index depends on the value that is passed in. Where using the index for the most common value is a huge performance penalty, and failing to use it for the rest is likewise. The only way to get good performance is to pass in the value for the case where it has to not use the index. (You can parametrize the rest, at least in Oracle. But the special one has to be passed hard-coded in the string so that the optimizer sees it.) This is a rare case but when it comes up, I really care.

If your framework won't let me fix a performance problem that I know how to fix, I'm going to switch frameworks.

And even worse, parsing SQL is more complex than you think. If your super safe framework doesn't agree with the database it can reject valid SQL or fail to provide the safety that it thought it did.

As an example, in PostgreSQL I can use $$ as a quote mark. This is super convenient for stored procedures. If your super-safe framework doesn't let me do that because it thinks it is a syntax error or recognizes it as unsafe, I will switch to something that can let me write stored procedures. If your super-safe framework doesn't recognize that it is a quote mark, then it isn't offering protection. If your super-safe framework tries to analyze it correctly, you're now attempting to analyze run-time strings that I am building inside of the database in a Turing complete language. Good luck with that. (Hint, Turing proved that it is an impossible task.)

Now I'm admittedly in the 0.1% of people using these tools. However others trust me to know what tools to recommend. So experts like me have an outsized impact.

To be honest, if a userland application is capable of kernel panicking a phone, that's a bug in the kernel, not in the application.

There's also a bug in Android (official and LOS) which I've encountered many times related to location detection in certain always-on GPS apps, causing a systems freeze and a reboot. This sucks, but it's a bug with Android, not with the application itself.

The Android/LOS peeps should really take a look at this though. I don't expect this to be the only app that can cause this and with some severe bad luck the crash might even be exploitable.
The problem is, there’s no way to enforce this. If you are a CA, there is nothing technically stopping you from issuing a certificate for google.com. There’s no infrastructure for the ability to say “this CA is valid only for sites that agree with the risks involved in using it”.
It's a vague, off the cuff comment so there is likely some other context here. My guess is this applies to paid placement only.

and there are some bugs with opening Firefox, clicking the address field on a tab that is loading and writing a search and pressing enter. That search is somehow lost if the timing of loading what was already in the tab is unfortunate. Maybe this never happens on a brand new phone on a high speed connection, but for me it is the biggest nuisance with Firefox mobile.
Well I know 2 faimilies in PR that personally had deaths related to hurricane... and it didn't stop WH to say it was lie and they don't exist.

I think you undervalue this administration ability to spin. Did you watch President speech yesterday? Everything is wonderful, everything is great and Mike Pence in charge (with at best questionable history of handling crisises in his own state). If you believe we will have real death tolls from Corona and yet Trump will not spin it that into some form of good news (because more haven't died for example?) you haven't paid attention to politics long enough, I'm afraid.
I'll keep using Mobile Firefox, and my experience with the new version is indeed favorable, but I admit that I'm frustrated and confused that this is being pushed to stable users before complete extension support is implemented. Thankfully uBlock Origin is supported or I'd be looking for a new browser, but my less-important extensions aren't so lucky.

At best I could imagine that Mozilla is privy to internal metrics showing that some overwhelming proportion of users have uBlock Origin as their only extension, which I could absolutely believe. Still, what sort of timeframe will it take to support the remaining addons, and why couldn't the new browser have baked on the nightly channel for a while longer until extension support was completed?

I think either they are paid by Apple for the product placement, thus they must do whatever Apple wants, or they don't want to piss Apple off even if legally they could do whatever they want. The production company could say goodbye to future Apple product placement income for portraying Apple products poorly.
Interesting that they have any say at all
Apple probably should include an exception that Danny Trejo can use whatever he wants. He’s earned it :-)

No, your symptoms are affected by the number of viruses in your system. The virus is constantly replicating and your immune system is constantly destroying them. If the rate of increase is greater than the rate of decrease, you will not recover.
I don't understand the map. I had expected some kind of heat map (based on say mobile phone traces of affected users).

That would actually be pretty cool (and privacy problematic) - I wonder if that's something the CDC requests from diagnosed cases.
I'm not sure what side of the argument I'm ignoring, do you mind clarifying? I feel as though my argument is precisely predicated on adding additional considerations into the mix, rather than ignoring some component of the original point.
From what I understand, under the so-called "Obamacare" legislation, everyone in the US has to have insurance, and if they can't afford it then it'll be subsidized to some extent by the government. You do have to be poor enough to qualify for such subsidies, though.
Same. All cold brew coffee lately seems to come without straws and I don't miss them. I do carry around a reusable straw, one of the singular swag items from a conference that I've used. It's really a small trade-off from what, for me, must have been 1000 plastic straws used annually.
> Hmm, what we heard was that the US only tested people who had symptoms.

Which is a crap shoot to begin with since the symptoms are fever, coughing and shortness of breath. A lot of the original patients were misdiagnosed as just having pneumonia since it has the same symptoms.

There's still a TON of misinformation out there as well. Just like in the Times today where they said in one sentence:

Yet the patient tested positive, and may be the first person to be infected through community spread in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.

So then, they don't know where he got it then? Wow, that must be serious, right? But wait, this is the VERY NEXT PARAGRAPH:

C.D.C. officials said it was possible the patient was exposed to a returning traveler who was infected.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/health/coronavirus-testin...

They first say its the first patient who was infected through community spread, then back off the very next sentence to say its actually possible he was infected by someone else? I'm not sure how this type of reporting is helping anything, other than by spreading fear, which during an epidemic is exactly what you don't want.
