There is a whole generation of future CTO / VP of Engineering types who are coming up on these reputations for GCP, AWS, Azure, etc. and it'll be interesting to see how the biases play out over the next 5-10 years. I predict a strong move back to self-hosting once the pains of i.e. self-managing a bare metal K8s cluster come down, as well as storage/ram/cpu prices continuing to drop. I for one welcome it.

There is a billion dollar company on the horizon for whoever can best commoditize bare metal with an apple-esque usability model.

IME it's almost impossible to tell whether someone is a right person until you've been together several years.

Well...yeah. Don't get married until you've been together for several years, so you have some track record to know if they're the right person.
Learning about the mechanism by which it kills shouldn't change our estimates of the lethality of the disease. We already knew that for most people it was just a bad flue but a noticeable fraction of those infected needed to get to an ICU. Now we just have a better idea of why.
If you're below 50 your chances of dying after contracting the virus are similar to that of being in a car accident if you got in a car over the course of one year (I think a car accident is higher). https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se...

I'm not sure exactly how they evaluate risk, but they probably estimate the error based on populations where very few people are studied (probably most people below 50), so it's likely if you're below 50 the chances are actually lower, I'm not sure.

Risk factors for immune disorders and car accidents are probably similar if I were to conjecture (just in: sick people tend to die), so most people on this subreddit will just get the fever. 15% of people don't even present with a fever, so it seems like the immune system can typically fight it off.
This hasn't been updated in 5 years.
Whether you believe this or not comes down to whether you believe references 32-34 from the paper. I haven't read the stuff about transgenic expression of human ace2 in mice, but it would sound a lot more like it was aberrantly expressed, so I'm not counting that. "More evidence needed" is the correct interpretation here, I believe.

There's other literature out there saying ACE2 is ubiquitously expressed (including brain) - so that means one of two things: People saying it's expressed everywhere are wrong, or SARS-COV-2 requires more than ACE2 for infection. There are papers saying that transfecting cell lines with ACE2 doesn't always render the cells susceptible, so it's probably a good idea to consider the requirement for a co-receptor.

Like anything, the true answer probably lies in between all these possibilities.
I believe the only thing a hospital can offer is a ventilator -- in the worst cases, the disease slashes your lung capacity and a ventilator will keep you oxygenated.

Hospitals will only help if you feel like you can't breathe (and we do not have anywhere near the amount of ventilators that we'll need for this), so the vast majority of people should self-quarantine, take pain killers for fever and wait for it to pass.
Obviously buying masks is discouraged because there is a shortage and hospitals have a much greater need for them than an uninfected person living in location as of yet untouched by the virus. Its about priorities.

Yeah probably reduced, but it may be more to do with them becoming contaminated. The link points to a study saying

> One study found that nurses averaged 25 touches per shift to their face, eyes, or N95 respirator during extended use.

How problematic that touching is probably scales with how problematic your environment is. They're pretty sponge-like. Wearing a surgical mask over an N95 would help a lot.

In a controlled biosafety level 3 lab, "single use" things are definitely the most common, where everything exposed to the outside world is destroyed after you're done. What's worn underneath is washed and you're forced to take a shower. So that's what you do if you know you're in a contaminated environment – not sure what I'd do in a public place.

> I have never seen C++ code where the constructor call is wrapped in with an exception handler.

The point of exceptions is not to wrap every call that can throw but instead to let them bubble up to have them be handled where it makes most sense - a large amount of software only needs to show an error dialog to the user and asks the user to save / exit, or log a message somewhere (so a single `catch` at the top of your event loop).

Only when you know for a fact that a subsystem can actually handle a specific case of error more intelligently, then you add exception handling there.

> very difficult/odd/surprising bugs

I guess it's a matter of attitude or codebase. At least at the point where I find the cause, I don't often think, "wow, that was a difficult/odd/surprising bug", I think "Wow, that was a dumb mistake someone did (perhaps me, perhaps not)" or "Wow, such a mess of code. It's no wonder this mistake was so easy to make". That is, the end of the journey or the journey itself is often one of disappointment. That's what makes it frustrating for me.

It's also a matter of how refactorings are prioritized in one's organization. In the journey I end up feeling like the observed bug is just the tip of the iceberg of what needs to be fixed, but technical debt may have low prioritization, so you end up feeling disappointed of only chopping off that tip of the iceberg and leaving everything else that's submerged.

As time goes by, these tips pop up more and more often, and the ice below the surface also grows. I find that demoralizing.

I'll try to enjoy the journey more. I know it can be done even for our codebase because I have a coworker that seems to enjoy the bugs just like the author here.

Though, sometimes I think my attitude towards bugs is the healthy one.
> Is this how people typically write a paper to Medical Virology?

As with the other person, I'm not in the field so I can't actually answer.

My prior, though, would be that papers that come in the early period of a response to a global widespread disease are not representative of the typical status quo in the field.
1. I am not familiar with coronavirus biology, however, as to the general question about nasal -> brain routes if infection: yes this is a risk if the virus is able to infect the olfactory nerves and travel retrograde through the cribriform plate into the olfactory bulb. It is a little peculiar that it would lead to medullary viral replication, as the medulla is a few steps back and distal from the olfactory bulb. Other infectious agents can travel into the CNS via the cribriform plate, most terrifying is naegleria fowleri but other terrible fungal infections like mucor and rhizopus can do it as well. They don’t tend to grow in neurons but rather eat through the tissues.

2. Upper versus lower: when people have a URI the upper airways meaning the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and trachea are predominantly affected. The typical symptoms are runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat. However, SARS/COVID tends to cause a lower respiratory syndrome affecting the small airways deep in the lungs, namely the alveoli and small bronchioles. It is entirely consistent to hypothesize that infection through the upper airway mucosa is “worse” but the target cells that primarily cause disease are in the lower airway.

I competed in the DARPA Urban Challenge, back in 2007. While we were watching the finalists trying to sort out the world's first fully-automated traffic jam, the conversation turned to how easy it is to manipulate these vehicles.

Imagine a remote stretch of highway frequented by automated 18-wheelers. All that's required to bring the truck to a screeching halt is a bedsheet and some decent timing, at which point the vehicle has no way to prevent a robbery. The truck could put in a remote distress call, but it will still be some time before a human can get there. It's a new era for railroad heists!

We're no closer to solving this problem than in 2007; everybody is still trying to manage the long tail of merely safe driving. Handling humans in adversarial situations like the above is still completely off the map.

> IME it's almost impossible to tell whether someone is a right person until you've been together several years.

I disagree. My wife and I got married the year we met, engaged the first month we met.

We had an instant connection of lust and similar interests. After two dates, I invited her to go overseas w/ me for two months. We knew we'd either hate or love each other by the end of it. It took 1 week for us to realize we were deeply in love. We got engaged 2 weeks later and married the same year.

This was all after I had given up on finding anyone. You need to get to know yourself and what you want, then find someone that wants the same things. Straight up talk to them about the important things the first date.

The important points for us were the things that had caused past relationship issues. Weed friendly, really sexual, introverted, dark humor, knows depression, same political belief, same religious belief. Yes it's good to be able to compromise, but ideally you don't want to.

> And even more unfortunately, your perfect mate can turn into an evil menace right before your eyes. Been there.

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat and am very biased, but this is my own honest opinion.

If you're going to run on bare-metal or in your own VMs, OpenShift is very much worth a look. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of ways to shoot yourself in the foot, and OpenShift puts up guard rails for you (which you can bypass if you want to). OpenShift 4 runs on top of RHCOS which makes node management much simpler, and allows you to scale nodes quickly and easily. Works on bare metal or in the cloud (or both, but make sure you have super low latency between data centers if you are going to do that). It's also pretty valuable to be able to call Red Hat support if something goes wrong. (I still shake my head over the number of days I spent debugging arcane networking issues on EKS before moving to OpenShift, which would have paid for a year or more of support just by itself).
While I do find the back and forth of finding a date to meet one of the most mind numbing tasks one can do, I think the author here is placing way too much importance on this CEO’s actions. Would he still write the same if the ceo used a bot to perfectly impersonate the ceo?

That's not really true though. Their pay is higher to make up the difference.

More chips per wafer results in more yield, less chips with potential flaws.

> Dr. Hansch’s research at Universitat Munchen for example, shows how as die size increases manufacturers realize an accelerating yield loss and thus accelerating manufacturing cost. Using their model, assuming best-case defect densities, AMD’s small chiplet approach achieves 90% yields vs. Intel’s 30%-40% yields from its large, monolithic die approach. [1]

> That may be true, but Democrats will at least be more ostensibly receptive of the issue. Bernie Sanders makes it an explicit point on his campaign website. I'm guessing other candidates have as well.

As someone that grew up in a pure Red state for decades and grew up on a farm/ranch, there is zero chance of them voting Democrats for the reasons you think they should.

Want to know at least one reason why? Know those farm "subsidies" democrats love to hate? Also known as: the government pays for farmers to keep fields fallow so we don't get another dust bowl. Farmers like those subsidies, they're a good thing. City people hate them, think they're a bad thing "we spend taxes for farm states". Yes I'm overgeneralizing but i've real work to do today so I can't get super complex.

Get to know a few farmers and understand that your perspective on Democrats is highly skewed on their policies towards places with population centers. You can argue Republicans are worse in as many ways as you want, but until you understand why none of those ways matter to farmers, you'll forever lack an understanding of why things are the way they are.
