Wash your hands. Avoid touching stuff in public. Use hand sanitizer, wipes or wash your hands as promptly as possible if you have to touch stair rails, door knobs, etc.

Don't touch your face.

Don't touch your face.

Please stop touching your face

Wash your hands if you need to blow your nose or cough into your hands.

For God's sake, don't wipe your nose with your hand and then touch other stuff.

Don't lick your fingers to help open plastic shopping bags. Impose the death sentence for employees who do this. (Okay, okay. Just fire them.)

If the world at large would stop doing heinous things like blowing their nose at the table in a crowded restaurant or public meeting, my world would be vastly better.

That's unfortunately a common misunderstanding of how CFR or case fatality rate works. It begins huge as only the most serious cases are identified as nCoV and it falls as the long tail comes into view.

Over the last few days, we've seen thousands of recoveries and tens of deaths. Marginally, it's 0.6% globally from the latest WHO data. The media is sensationalizing this and playing on peoples fears and emotions.

Check out the graph on page 13 of the WHO report: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/who-chi...

> Aside from that, a much larger (as of yet unknown) number have permanent lung scarring. That's not a joke. Read about SARS and MERS long-term prognosis from similar scarring.

To your own point, we have no idea if it's even a thing. Just because SARS, MERS and nCoV are all coronaviruses doesn't mean they act the same way. MERS has a 35% fatality rate vs. and I can't stress this enough 0.6%, so two whole orders of magnitude less fatal.

It doesn't change much in fact. That's why several prominent socialized healthcare nations are extremely obese just like the US.

That includes: Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Israel.

All have adult obesity levels around or over 25%. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain are among the most obese nations on the planet - despite having world-class socialized healthcare systems.

When it comes to adult obesity among major nations (ie not Tuvalu or Tonga), New Zealand is #11, Canada is #13, Australia is #14, Britain is #20.

The only way you can really control that as the parent was trying to imply, is through direct government control of all food consumption and production.

I guess what I think could be possible is:

ARBs upregulate ACE2 but within normal physiological limit (see other comment). My understanding is it is the Ang II activation of AT2R that drives the increase in ACE2 expression. In this case, we would expect children and women (estrogen upregulates AT2R, downregulates AT1R) to have higher ACE2 in the presence of increased Ang II. I think children may have more AT2R. https://twitter.com/__philipn__/status/1233569567512772609?s... but this may be beside the point.

Other coronaviruses that use more common receptors are not as lethal. Even if the virus has a higher probability of cell entry, does that make it more lethal?

Check out this paper:

https://twitter.com/__philipn__/status/1229568317167243264?s...

Proportion of reduction of ACE2 correlates with disease severity.

Check out figure 1

“Differences in clinical outcomes did not correlate with differences in viral replication efficiencies.”

Compare C and D. Viral replication basically the same between young and old mice. But old had severe disease.

So I’m not sure it’s as simple as increased replication (a proxy for cell entry?) that drives severity.

Edit: just re read your final sentence. Great point. But in the case of ARB usage, while ACE2 may be upregulated and the cell may have another ACE2 cleaved by the virus, if AT1R blockade was occurring then maybe the lung damage would not happen.

Is the cell itself worse off with more than one copy of the virus inside of it? Or would the damage be the increased loss of ACE2?

If damage from increased loss, then I can see the ARB approach helping.

If more than one copy of virus in cell is really bad, then sounds like this could be more complicated. But I do wonder about other viruses which have lots of receptors available, and why this one is so serious in some, but not most, people.

But between the bulkiness of any given HMD over a long period of time, and the low resolution of the HMD display, this is generally a novelty. In 2020 at least.

I'm not sure that's a safe assumption. These bonds could be held by pension funds etc...

I think I'm one of the target markets for stadia. A big time gamer in my teenss and college/early post college days before career and family made me feel out more casual games. I only play a few AAA title to completion in a year now but have a large library of games on Steam, Epic and GoG that I never had the time or interest to finish.

I was excited about Stadia when I first heard of it but needing to buy hardware for a service that will likely be languishing in a year and sunsetted in two just didn't interest me. I'm more likely to spend money on a 8 times more expensive VR set than a cheap piece of hardware that will be collecting dust in a drawer soon.

I think it's most important that every line changed in production code can be backtracked to a ticket in the "feature management database" whether it's Jira or whatever. This simple rule helps immensely in keeping codebases in good shape.

This is the only clearcut rule that I can think of that is obvious and non-negotiable.

Other things of course make sense (document something in code, other things somewhere else) but are more matters of taste and culture.
Worst case, you can still use it as a bag of spare parts maybe?

Child labor is a tricky one because it's actually viewed as a positive in poor countries. The alternative isn't 'no child labor', it's other types of child exploitation like prostitution.

I don't have a reference but there was a follow up report in a poor region where commercial child labor was abolished, and the outcomes weren't great.

I assume that you mean parallelizability of decoding and not of encoding.

JPEG's decoding is poorly parallelizable: the entropy decoding is necessarily serial; only inverse FFTs can be parallelized.

Sharing the data about boundaries need not hamper parallelizability in its most simple meaning: imagine a format where we first encode some data for each boundary, and then we encode all the blocks that can only be decoded when provided the data for all its four boundaries.

However, what often matters is the total number of non-cacheable memory roundtrips that each pixel/block of the image has to take part in: a large cost during decoding is memory access time. If we assume that a single row of blocks across the whole image is larger than the cache, then any approaches similar to the one I described in the previous paragraph add one roundtrip.

Another consideration is that a single block is often too small to be a unit of parallelization -- parallelizing entropy decoding usually has additional costs in filesize (e.g. for indices), and any parallelization has startup costs for each task.

The end-result is that a reasonably useful approach to parallelization is to split the image into "large blocks" that are large enough to be units of parallelization on their own, and encode _those_ independently.

This always goes to Dune and generic removal of water from the air, Thunderf00t talks on youtube about actual physics involved around collection of water from the atmosphere and how it's not possible if you're interested why this can't happen.

It only can happen around the ocean where it's pretty much rain, but it doesn't rain and the saltwater contaminates the water supply and you own rich sea side housing but can't pipe it in from a near by town.

If there is a working application of fog nets feel free to post a link with actual photos and number of litres recovered. That would be a big deal to leave the "we want money stage" and supply real water. So there will be studies if it's real, that we can read.

Location: Algiers

Area type: Urban. Protests gathering million people, packed together, every friday and coming up with funny songs about Corona virus. The people here laugh about practically everything, especially themselves which they love to do.

I couldn't understand the rest of the questions. Life is just normal. Corona for people here is just like Ebola, Zika, or other "diseases": they just heard about it and the Italian guy who's got it here. Of course, people started talking in Italian to signify they have the virus. Also ordering Corona in coffee shops, trolling people pretending they have Corona, and any funny or not funny joke you can imagine. I'll spare you the obvious bar jokes.

However, I regularly have to go to Paris for work, a two hour flight, and I'm probably going this week.

Then again, I'm going to present a project named ПRAVDA so who am I to judge.
Khashoggi wasn't Bezos' employee. Even if he were, he'd be one of almost a million people he employs directly or indirectly.

Thats last few sentences make no sense. The argument is that uptake is stunted by the JVM's slow startup time, making it unsuitable for commandline utils or desktop apps.

Ah Gotcha, I'm intrigued wiki says "SPDC allows for the creation of optical fields containing (to a good approximation) a single photon. As of 2005, this is the predominant mechanism for an experimenter to create single photons", do you know of a simple explanation on how single photons are generated using the crystal + laser?

Which is sickening. We need some sort of heavy handed regulation that stipulates that labor up and down the supply chain of a given American company conforms to American labor protections. We also need this regulation to be backed by consequence which would directly harm the lives of those individuals who directly decide to eschew these regulations.

I think we can stand to hold executives far more accountable for them deciding to commit human rights abuses via casual email or shareholder memo, some 3000 miles out of sight and out of mind from the crimes themselves.

These sort of regulations would be very painful for the economy in the near term, but far less painful than continuing the status quo for those being abused.
Self-driving features are indeed being demonstrated to be safer. The video was talking about the different levels of self-driving so maybe we can agree to discuss it on that spectrum.

Tesla publishes some information [1]. I think the others do too. (Take your requisite grains of salt, I work at Tesla.) The the self-driving features are helping reduce accident rates.

I get being skeptical of cars driving for you. I think we should also be concerned with the bad choices that fully fledged human drivers make, how emotions they don't control (or situations they put themselves in) can exacerbate those choices, and how often those things result in damage, injury or loss of life.

The problem JMAP is addressing is quite complex that’s why the JMAP spec is long. I do not however find it to be bloated. On the contrary I actually found it quite easy to read. (I've implemented jmap-mail on the client side.)

One could potentially write JMAP as a proxy to an existing IMAP server (just like your 'imap-api') therefore the current lack of JMAP servers doesn’t really matter.

Without a clear, business-first reason for an engineering project of that magnitude, it's not ever going to be a priority or a realistic option.

There are processes that do the latter, such as fluorescence. There are features of the two processes that let you figure out which is which. In fluorescence, there is a time delay that might be long enough to observe. Also, the generated photons will come out with energies characteristic of the material, rather than of the incoming photon. And there are differences related to polarization and the angular distributions of the photons.

Nreal "light" AR glasses (dev kit) provide a usb3 50-degree (5 fists) 1080p stereo screen at 2 m (so like 36"). Head tracking permits making that a viewport into a larger desktop. Display is very crisp. Ubuntu desktop looked quite usable.

Before CoV, the $1.2k dev kit was available outside US (long FCC delay) with claimed 1 mo lead. Issues with 6DOF tracking, nose fit, and maybe warmth. But I'd buy it if I could. Several competitors were aiming for similar designs this year. Now? But I think people are underestimating how rapid this transition might be, at least for some of our use cases.

All of that is well and good, but just look at the reality of South Korea vs the United States right now. Korea is doing 10,000 test kits per day with drive up stations, while the US has had botched testing, nonsensical requirements for the testing that’s in place, and undetected community transmission for about six weeks with no mitigation plans. There’s likewise been no federal or state level action to do things like curb mass gatherings or strictly enforce quarantines, which are literally the only thing that has proven effective in curbing the spread to ease the strain on healthcare infrastructure.

Also, leadership issues aside is a big aside. Having the most incompetent and corrupt administration in recent US history helming the response to this, including someone who caused a public health crisis in his own state and a self-serving pharmaceutical industry lackey is about the worst you could ask for.
