Or look at S Korea, 7313 cases 50 deaths, .68% CFR. Would like to see the age group breakdown.

If I had to guess why CFR is so much lower in S Korea, it's because they tend to test more widely, ie. don't only test when patients show up at the hospital with severe symptoms. Or in other words they are closer to the real CFR.
This pretty much sums up my experiences.

I've noticed my frustration tends to stem from a feeling of not progressing quickly enough, or getting bogged down in architectural details before strictly necessary and then abandoning the whole thing due to the assumption it's too complex for my knowledge level...
> Germany is not testing nearly enough people

Source? I’ve heard exactly the opposite - Germany is testing the whole cluster as soon as infection is found. That explains the low mortality.

Is it something you can control in anyway? I've experienced sleep paralysis for years (it's pretty terrible) but I've seen a lot of people harness that to enable lucid dreaming. Curious if it's similar with this.
Everyone is going to be shit talking this article because it’s just so horrible and bad advice, so here’s my two cents:

A mind shouldn’t be what controls your life, because really your mind isn’t you. Your mind is mostly noise and chatter and sometimes we observe that and think we must do what our mind says, but it’s not true. We must do what we must.

The way to live is to discipline yourself to do the things that must be done. This requires pulling in context from the world and people around you. You know what you have to do, so do it, and lay down whatever excuses or distractions your mind is thinking about. Let instincts and intuition guide you, not “thoughts”. They are not the same thing. Iron sharpens iron.

I didn’t think much about this post, I just posted it because I knew I had to, so I did, and now I will probably never think of it again. That’s how it is.

Italy lockdown: PM outlines new measures to prevent spread of coronavirus
CMIIW: The same way age segments the CFR, so does smoking, existing conditions, etc. So if you're <40, not a smoker, no existing disease, the risk is even lower.

Having said that, it's still a bad situation, since getting infected increases the likelihood of others getting infected and dying, including people in higher CFR brackets. This is not like "getting cancer" or "getting hit by lightning", because there one person getting it doesn't affect the probability of another getting it.

Also headline: "pollution", and article "harmful particle matter from tyres". The study was of particulate emissions only, where when we generally think of "car pollution" we're talking about carbon or unburned hydrocarbons or toxins, not smoke. And the comparison was to "what comes out of a car's exhaust", when the overwhelming contributor to the particulate composition of smog is reactions in the atmosphere and not the stuff in the pipe.

Not a good headline at all. But still, no doubt tire pollution is reasonable significant and we should all be driving less anyway.
Yes South Korea are testing huge numbers. Worth watching closely.
> While it may feel righteous to regulate them more, it is all but guaranteed to have next to no effect on gun violence.

.... You realise that there are dozens of examples of other countries that have enacted gun control, and then seen gun violence go down, right?

> The AR-15 undoubtedly has a military background, although it isn't the exact same weapon as the M16. Does this mean firearms with a less militaristic style, like the Ruger Mini-14[0], should be allowed?

Ok, so a few things here.
(a) I just referenced AR-15's because most people have heard of them. A mini-14 is no more appropriate for sport shooting than the aforementioned AR15.

(b) The rifle you mentioned is named so because it resembles a previous military rifle (M14), and is itself used by a number of military and law enforcement agencies around the world, so it's still "military style" anyway

(c) My point was that semi-automatic rifles aren't needed for hunting, or target shooting, regardless of how "militaristic" they look. 12 people being shot in a school aren't going to feel any less shot because the gun doesn't look like the military use it.

> This weapon wasn't banned during the assault weapons ban,

Given that the law in question required a weapon to have 2 feature from a list that includes grenade launcher to be considered a "assault weapon", that's not really surprising. It's a semi-automatic rifle. It also wouldn't be affected by a ban on trans fats either.

> It is no less unpleasant to get shot by a sport or hunting rifle

If someone is shooting into a crowd with a bolt action rifle, you are a lot less likely to be shot in the first place. That's literally the whole fucking point: it's a much slower rate of fire.
This is a great comment, except for the last line, which is extreme hyperbole.

No, the same Wikipedia says GSM in extended range can support calls up to 120km.
The "buy in" issue is why I consider using Denmark (which is where I live) as an initial test area before internationalization: Danes are generally well educated, and they have a high trust in public authorities compared to many other countries. The use of open source software is also widespread in Denmark.

So an app/server solution developed with 100% transparency on GitHub could easily be pushed to everybody by public authorities - under the critical assumption that we can both make it work technically, and make it completely anonymous.

Just for reference, the same "scale problem" is also the challenge with ordinary vaccines, as I understand it:

They don't really need to give 100% protection to each individual. The critical point is that if a large enough percentage of the population has the vaccine, the R_0 parameter of the given disease will drop below 1, and the exponential spreading turns into an exponential decline.

I'm not a huge fan of NNT. He's a jerk on Twitter (so is Musk), but he's not the first expert-in-his-field to call Musk out for not knowing what he's talking about. The latest incident being Musk's irresponsible comments on Covid-19.
It's true that they weakened the wording in that section of the body, but the description of the actual research does make it sound like the factor of 1,000 was a typical case, not the worst case:

> Using a popular family hatchback running on brand new, correctly inflated tyres, we found that the car emitted 5.8 grams per kilometer of particles.
>
> Compared with regulated exhaust emission limits of 4.5 milligrams per kilometer, the completely unregulated tyre wear emission is higher by a factor of over 1,000.

Of course, this assumes that the tyre particles captured by their methodology are (on average) equally bad as exhaust particles, and maybe brand-new tyres wear especially quickly or something. It does seem hard to square the factor of 1000 from this study with the estimate that non-exhaust emissions account for a mere 60% (rather than 99.9%) of PM2.5 emissions.

Would be curious to hear from anyone who understands emissions testing better.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/coronavirus-has-a-silver-...

Its hard to politely hope for the death of many fellow humans.

The actions of the CDC so far (still telling people they can't be tested!) make me wonder how much of their leadership decided to embrace this epidemic, and when.
The numbers don't seem to add up. If an average set of tires lasts (roughly) 50,000km to 100,000km, and the average tire weights around 10kg, and you have 4 tires, then the (totally unrealistic) maximum loss per km is 4 * 10 * 1000 / 75,000 gms/km. This is 0.5g/km (and it assumed that there was no tire left). While these numbers are rough, I don't see any way to get to 5.8gm/km as quoted in the article. The brake pads aren't going to contribute all the rest (they aren't that heavy to start with).

What about the road surface? Maybe you can erode 1cm of surface over 10 years with 2,000 vehicles per hour (average down to 20,000 per day. Volume eroded (per km) in cc is 400 (width) * 1 * 100,000 (length) = 4e7 cc. Density is around 2.5 gm/cc. Mass eroded is 1e8 gms. Cars is 20,000 * 10 * 365 = 73e6. Amount eroded by each car is around 1.3gm/km.

Maybe someone could check my assumptions (and my math), but I still don't believe the numbers in the linked article.
I find it also logical conclusion. I think it was pretty clear from the beginning in what direction it will develop and what measures are actually working. It looks incredibly irresponsible to wait this long.

This is approximately as reasonable as declaring that a crossbow is more dangerous than a gun because it fires a heavier projectile. How large are the particles? What's their expected lifetime in the atmosphere? What proportion are smaller than 10 micron? 2.5 micron?
> Israel is the only real democracy in the entire region.

This tired fallacy needs to perish. Israel is not a democracy. Even Israelis' can see this, and its why a third of them don't bother voting - the Israeli people know that they don't have the right to select their leaders in the Knesset. The parties do.

If Israel become a real democracy, its Israeli-Arab population would rapidly change the identity of the country. This is why the fallacy is perpetuated.

At an old employer, I wrote neat visualization that drew equal-potential curves through a sampled grid of points. Somewhat complicated, targeted for one specific feature.

I leave, but stay in touch with friends there. They completely turned the ship and that whole module was no longer part of the system. A few years later, I get a message from a buddy: “dude, we dug up your equal-potential curves thing from SVN and damn is it nice to work with. Good job! That just saved me a ton of time!”

Of course. It usually goes like this:

Being totally honest here. I don't find any work that I totally can't stop thinking about. There is always something that I need to get done that I don't relish, that I don't enjoy.

Here's how it goes - there's an idea that you think is really nice, you start talking to people then you are hit with reality - no one gives a shit about your idea. Some do, but most of them are like meh. There comes the first punch and you either think they are all dumb or ascribe some positivity to what others are saying and start talking to more people or start working on a prototype. Then you realize you have to build a front end. Welcome to front end hell. You have no fucking clue how CSS has evolved over the last 6 months. The npm package you thought was useful is now outdated or not maintained. So by now you are more or less exhausted. What started as a fabulous idea in the head has now boiled down to 'shit let me get done with this CSS crap and move on'. At this time, I don't even want to think about CSS, let alone HTML. Rinse and repeat this until you find success.

At least, this has been my experience.
I will also say that writing a teaching series on this is quite humbling. If I were to implement this SDK on my own, I'd probably get it done in a day or two; but stopping to make sure that I do things in digestible chunks, and explaining what I'm doing at each step, is dragging it out a lot. It may take a couple of weeks for me to write this up.

As described in the article, the number they used for the "1000x" comparison wasn't PM2.5 due to car exhaust. It was PM2.5 IN car exhaust, which is quite literally the thing we call "smoke". The vast majority of smog particles due to automobile traffic appear in the atmosphere as reaction products, they aren't in the exhaust.
Yes, especially with projects with long history. You want to know who did what at a particular code block, and what it was like before. Since we tag all commits with a ticket name/number, we can go back to Jira and see the ticket that was responsible for that change.

This helps a ton when refactoring code in a project with alot of history. I know that this bit was done this way for a reason, but that reason could be anything.

> Beware the tendency to make this a single-axis "more vs. less" regulation issue.

Nobody does this, not even the most outspoken anarchist libertarian. The question is not more or less regulation, the question is who does the regulation. I would argue that regulation should be done by those who stand the most to lose. This is not corruptible Government officials but by insurance companies, airliners, pilots and passengers, i.e. by those who have skin in the game.

If anything, the Government regulation makes the situation worse, because by its nature has incentive structures that are completely inadequate. Perhaps if damages were payed out of the compensation of employees at the FAA the situation would be different. Perhaps if everybody at the FAA were earning minimum wage after the 737 Max crashes and all that money went to the families of the crash victims, then there would be an impetus to change the culture in the FAA and the aviation industry. Until the regulation is done by organizations that have skin in the game, I would say the FAA is doing more harm than good, by lulling the public into a false sense of security.
