keep in mind this is a preliminary, the grammar used in this paper needs to be revised so as to avoid as much as possible, people coming to errant conclusions after misinterpreting poorly written phrases.

so that means that while reading this paper one should not skim but should take the effort to interpret this paper.

there is an absence of references in the abstract, this makes it hard to examine the basis for statements in abstract

> Universal Healthcare does not guarantee affordability

I think we have a word for that: affordable health care. Universal Healthcare necessarily covers affordability:

"""Universal health care is a system that provides quality medical services to all citizens. The federal government offers it to everyone regardless of their ability to pay.
"""
-- From https://www.thebalance.com/universal-health-care-4156211
IANAL either, but I don't see why it would be? Just have a separate cluster type, e.g SLA Zonal, SLA Regional. The SLA already differentiates the current cluster types. Anthos Clusters are also not subject to any additional fees?

And having it opt-in will save face with those users of GKE where an additional $73/m is significant.
> Are you saying that manufacturers that produce hardware that runs android are banned from also selling hardware (being an OEM manufacturer) that does not run android

It is the other way around companies that produce Google Android phones (with play store) are banned from producing anything Android not based on Googles stack. Amazon had to find out the hard way that basing your OS on Android makes it hard to find a manufacturer.

Of course this is not globally true. Various countries already informed Google just what they thought of that kind of licensing abuse. That led to Google carving out new licensing regions for every lawsuit and outright boycotting Turkey when they mandated the same treatment as the EU.

The history of the Buffalo "gigafactory" is rather sordid... In a nutshell, Tesla and its subsidiaries made large employment and economic growth promises to the state of NY in exchange for massive subsidies (almost $1B total). The state wanted to stimulate growth in an economically depressed region, but those growth expectations have not materialized at all. And now, at least some of the NY state taxpayer financed equipment is apparently being shipped elsewhere or sold instead of helping the economy of Western NY. That's the story here. But the entire story goes much deeper.

Tesla fans don't like to admit it, but the Buffalo "gigafactory" project has been a textbook example of government waste on corporate welfare. Multiple people have gone to jail for corruption / bid rigging on the project. Tesla's subsidies were supposed to be contingent on achieving hiring and economic output goals, but those original requirements have been retroactively watered down multiple times so as to prevent subsidy clawbacks. A local journalist (Dan Telvock) has been detailing considerably more chicanery that has gone done at the Buffalo gigafactory.
> Considering the potential neuroinvasion of SARS-CoV-2, antiviral therapy
should be carried out as early as possible to block its entry into the CNS. Airway inhalation of antiviral agents will be the first choice at the early stage of infection,
which will inhibit the replication SARS-CoV-2 in the respiratory tracts and lung and
prevent from its subsequent neuroinvasion. It is also urgent to find effective antiviral
drugs that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, corticosteroids, which are used
frequently for severe patients, may have no treatment effect, but rather accelerate the
replication of the virus within the neurons.
The real danger here is that far fewer people will have immunity to this because it is novel. This means that if we aren't careful the infections could snowball and serious cases could overwhelm healthcare infrastructure. This would lead to the tragedy of people dying not just because they were basically bound to but because there wasn't enough care to go around. 1,000,000 people infected over 3 months looks a lot different than 1,000,000 people infected over 18 months.

It's not that it's inaccurate, but rather there are simply multiple statistics that one might be interested in (many of which are not available).

How many humans will die?

Of those who catch the virus, how many will die?

Of those showing symptoms, how many will die?

Of those seeking medical care, how many will die?

Of those admitted to a hospital, how many will die?

Of those who are critical, how many will die?

I've spotted interesting "things" from idly looking at our dashboard while chatting with coworkers (and more than a few were interesting enough to warrant a lot of investigation and double-checking of metrics, providers and stack). They were not alert-able, or not very easily unless we wrote some complex time series analysis system for our internal metrics.
its time in logistics dude!

Your are making the same bad assumption that our President is making.

Let me clue you in,

Any idea how ,many test kits we need for 400 million?

400 million for one time use but there will be more than one time use...ie more than 400 million.

any idea how much money it takes to get just 40 million test kits out to Americans for free?

One Billion dollars...

Now here comes the logistics bite in the ass.. how many trained US Health Public Service workers do we have skilled in showing how to use such test kits?

Oh damn Trump cut CDC funding and public health funding...

It snot rocket science if you cut public health funding than you cut the very fabric of the future response to such an epidemic in the first place..ie cannot spend even the demo price of 7 billion to immediate fix no immediate fix is there its been cut already!

Rant mode off
Thank you for the question. While I can't go into deep detail... as with most free things, people find a way to abuse the system. While we've invested significant effort to curtail such abuse, this is the road we've landed.

To your point about running your own K8S cluster - two things:

1. That's something you have always been (and still are) entitled to do.

2. Having personally run large-scale K8S clusters, the challenge isn't provisioning, it's maintenance, security patches, upgrades, etc.
This is required for good reason. It only makes sense to lower standards when there is going to be a realistic payoff. The general public place a lot of trust in the various parties to make the right decisions. Running with too much risk from adverse events is extremely problematic at different levels.

People in pharma and in authority (FDA and other organizations) are intimately familiar with the need to strike the right balance and have a lot more considerations than you seem to assume they do.
They used to do exactly this. Various agricultural and construction equipment manufacturers operated in such a way that they could shift production to tanks at a moment's notice.
0.98% seems to assume your medical system doesn't get overloaded:

> evidence to date points toward 2019-nCoV having the potential to have comparable severity to the 1918 flu pandemic in the absence of effective control and treatment, when averaged across all ages.

Early detection and isolation is key. Much of the world seems to be doing a poor job of it, and that is what is causing people to be concerned.

> You should always have 18 months of expenses saved

I've never seen this sentiment on r/personalfinance. It's typically no more than 6 months, usually a 3-6 month range. Your money is (on average) better invested and the only reason to go beyond 6 months is if you really, really need that for some extra peace of mind and numbers/data don't mean anything to you.

> Look how smart I am for having a mega-backdoor roth ira instead of a regular 401k like all the idiot sheeple.

This is also uncommon.

> I still think having a relationship with a financial advisor you trust is better than taking advice from strangers on the internet.

Why not encourage people to do their own research? How much more can you really eek out from a financial advisor?
DO minimum for a cluster is $20/mo. That sure beats $72 although gcloud is offering the first zonal cluster for free. It might still be cheaper to use gloud for small things. I do really like DO though, have a few personal projects hosted there.
Yes, only a N95 or better mask would protect you from incoming, as opposed to outgoing, viruses, and these masks are both impractical for everyday wear and need to be conserved for public health users.
And why would energy be the limiting factor? Maybe the limiting factor will be accidental entanglement with the environment of your quantum computer, and you want to cool your system waaay down to avoid thermals interfering with your finely tuned computation engine. Having a hot sphere around a star seems like a terrible set up to do that. Maybe sitting out in a hydrogen cloud and running well controlled fusion would be a much better for that.

I'm not saying one or the other is more or less likely, but the range of possibilities is vast and unimaginable. The idea of energy (in the sense you and I use it now) is not even 400 years old. Harnessing ever larger amounts of stored energy was the hallmark of the industrial revolution. Declaring it to be the fundamental law underlying civilization is like concluding that the earth is flat: You mistake the shape of our immediate environment (the recent past and short term future) for the structure of the overall thing.

We are quite definitely headed in the next couple of hundred years for an end to exponential growth in energy consumption. Exponential growth near where we've been would lead us to cooking the earth in 300-400 years. By the time we're capable of doing solar system scale engineering we will have had millennia of 'culture' that exists within a constant energy envelope. What these entities will value, or want to do is beyond anyone's guess.

By giving consumers, who are troubled balancing recreation and addiction, the proper treatment?

In my opinion, it's definitely easier to "handle" drugs when we can openly talk about them and their negative effects, without business and government telling us what to think about them.

It depends entirely on how a firm has their infrastructure set up - if you have small cluster(s) per client for isolation/compliance purposes, you end up with, for example with 250 clients, each one using, say, 1000 billable hours/month:

250 * 0.1 * 1000 = $25,000/month.

This is quite the price hike for something that was a) free until now. b) Not a service that warrants such a fee given that it uses existing (GCE) resources and can frankly be done manually by one of the DevOps engineers for a few hours/month and some scripting. It's just a charge for convenience it seems.
Available data points to it being more dangerous than the flu, especially to the elderly and immunocompromised. Your doctor might have been talking about the danger to you in particular, which is very low, similar to the flu, if you're young and healthy.
In USA, eg, the tax revenue is used to fund drug education among other useful things. Recreational usage states in USA have also seen a decline in pot usage by school-age young adults (however, I'm thinking it's been replaced with something else and we dont have data on that yet)

I was wondering why the one in danger was always black child, in every video I watched! I never thought that this could be the reason, but your comment is indeed insightful, thanks
This article https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140227142250.h... by The Scripps Research Institute suggests that cytokine storm is more likely to occur in relatively young patients rather than in the very young or elderly. It further states it was the likely major cause of mortality with the 1918 flu (which killed my great-grandfather), the H1N1 "swine flu", and the H5N1 "bird-flu."

SARS-CoV-19 on the other hand seems to cause mortality more often in patients 55+ years of age rather than the relatively young. At least from the data so far. The NIH emphasized this in yesterday's WH/NIH presser.
Likewise! I found this some time ago: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1045502.1045526

but never tried it, I just left it as a fun idea for the future.

In Toronto, children are tested for swimming ability at each visit to a public pool. Children are given wrist-bands corresponding to their age upon arrival. If a child wishes to swim in the deep end, he or she may ask a guard to give them a swim test (swimming a fixed distance without touching floor or wall). Upon passing the test, the child is given another wrist-band indicating that they may use the deep end. Parent:child ratios are also strictly enforced for younger children.

https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/recreation/swimming-spl... (see "Important Information")

The presence of children with no swimming ability in the deep end of a crowded pool in this video seems like an obvious recipe for disaster.

edit: toys and floats are allowed in Toronto public pools, the kids have quite a lot of fun with them.

Solar City was a Musk (nee Rive) family business from the start.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarCity#History

> SolarCity was founded in 2006 by brothers Peter and Lyndon Rive, based on a suggestion for a solar company concept by their cousin, Elon Musk, who is the chairman and helped start the company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_Rive

> Rive is a cousin of SolarCity investor and entrepreneur Elon Musk, as their mothers are twins

(That means that Rive and Musk are genetically half-siblings.)

Don't know, but the EFF appealed that decision, so if Reddit didn't go ahead with it, the user would be safe now.
A single individual getting coronavirus isn't a big deal. Chances are they will be fine.

The problem is that it's very infectious, R0 could be 6+ where the flu is about 1-2. That means it's 3-6 times more contagious than the flu, so it spreads very very quickly.

At the same time, it causes severe symptoms in 15-20% of cases. When these people have access to medical care, they will likely survive. But if they don't get access to timely health care, they might die, which is what happened in China.

The problem with both the above is that you will get many, many people infected all at the same time, and you might get a few hundred people with severe symptoms in a small city. That's enough to overrun several hospitals all at the same time. The US has about 2.5 hospital beds for 10,000 citizens, which is 31st in the world. Japan and Korea have over 12 per 10,000 citizens. the top 2 in the world. And the patients that get severe need ventilators which are even less than this.

Once the hospital beds are filled, people start dying, which causes panic. Then economies will start to suffer because no one will eat at restaurants, people will panic at Costco like we've seen, businesses will go out of business.

People forget that this is simple math. Coronavirus will spread very quickly in the US and across the world. And many people will die and all hospitals will get overrun. What we need is at-home treatment and to somehow get people to avoid getting severe symptoms. If warm summer weather decreases the R0, then we might be able to avoid it, but some parts of the Northern Hemisphere are still in winter and won't be warm for at least 2 months.
How can you not think that what young people need is to spend more time stoned?

They are shifting focus from growing tobacco to growing weed. This really doesn't solve anything aside from replacing the economic output from a rapidly declining industry.

I think the original point in this sub-thread boils down to: basic micro-level human error like typos + bad configuration deploys is completely understandable (to a certain extent), but macro level failures that happen by ignoring obvious trends and best practices is malfeasance.

Personally I don't think Robinhood will ever release a full honest post-mortem and so we'll never know (and never be able to judge fairly).

If the system failed by virtue of being too complex, that is also malfeasance because any devops/SRE worth their salt (as might be expected at a 7 BILLION DOLLAR company) should smell unnecessary complexity from a mile away and slowly refactor it away over the course of several years - which looking at Robinhoods downtime history they never did.

The closest example to Robinhoods engineering woes is Reddit, which throughout its early history made fairly poor infrastructure and data modeling decisions but have since repaired and improved on. We should hold Robinhood to higher expectations then Reddit for obvious reasons. Them having similar engineering capability to circa ~2012 start-up reddit is INEXCUSABLE.
