Practically speaking, I think this means e.g. temperature checks at every school, place of work, subway, train, airport, and large residential building. At entry/exit, like metal detectors. Routine swabs / testing. Ideally could swap, put into an envelope and send off to a central testing facility. What else?

Given the reports of asymptomatic testing, not sure we can confine to small size flare-ups in the absence of this.
Damn, that's hard. In Germany we have six weeks per illness. Meaning you get up to six weeks for your broken leg, another six for arm and so on. Insurance to cover up to a year isn't to expensive neither if you start early. Sounds like paradise.
This is the big reason I think we need to figure out as a society how to make it possible for everyone to keep a roof over their head and food on their plates even if they don't work at all.

Start with comprehensive zoning reform to reduce the cost of housing. https://eml.berkeley.edu//~moretti/growth.pdf

Using a spatial equilibrium model and data from 220
metropolitan areas we find that these constraints lowered aggregate US growth by 36 percent from 1964 to 2009. (JEL E23, J24, J31, R23, R31)

Imagine multiplying everyone's effective salary by 36%. We'd have a lot less real poverty. California meanwhile, despite its ostensible liberality, has the highest poverty rate in the country due to building restrictions: https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2017/jan/20....
There are a lot of regional differences within the US. In Massachusetts, it's a lot better than this:

* MA has 40 hours of mandatory paid sick leave a year

* Assuming that your employer doesn't offer health insurance, if you're a single person making minimum wage in MA, working 40 hours a week, you qualify for ConnectorCare, with $15 co-pays for primary care visits and no deductible. There's a $82/month premium, but you'd also qualify for a $276/month tax credit.

There are still plenty of situations where a person making minimum wage wouldn't be able to afford a doctor's visit. For instance, if you miss paying your premiums your health insurance can be canceled. Or you could be working for an employer that offers health insurance, but with a high deductible. However, the situation here is a lot less bleak than the thread - for many people here working in the fast food industry a doctor's visit and a week's time off are affordable.

> I find the temporarily localized documentation idea quite interesting – anyone else here tried that?

I've done this a bit.

For several of my $DAYJOB projects I maintain documentation as Markdown files in the project, which get rendered into a website at build time. The project changelog is kept in version control the same way (https://keepachangelog.com).

Several times I've tried an experiment or alternate approach that didn't work out and done exactly this, complete with documentation, so the state is preserved. It's easy to document a prototype if it just means throwing a few paragraphs into a text file with the prototype.

Add a note in the changelog about adding the prototype then commit.

Make the revert commit and add a note in the changelog that you've removed the prototype.

Keeping a good, human-readable changelog as described above makes this strategy more scalable. You can document failed experiments you backed out, features that have been removed, and the like, in a few quick summary lines, keeping devs aware of them across the project's lifespan.

New devs can review it for the big-picture history and use the changelog's revision history to see what commits they need to see for the details.

Using a changelog this way also makes it reasonably possible to delete code but still remember it existed years later, something that's otherwise a surprisingly hard problem (especially if the project has high turnover).
I am well aware of the risk of rising interest rates, but those will be in the toilet due to the lasting effect on the disrupted supply chain.
One of the things I treasure in a good generalist is the ability to be an informed consumer. They can think a little farther down the road about what we need from solutions and why.
And a CNC mill at a fraction of that $100k price point would probably be much more than 4x faster (due to spindle power and liquid cooling of the parts).

edit: Also since it looks like 2d work you can also use a fiber laser to cut it out which would probably be faster and less messy than a CNC but more expensive of a machine.
Clinical trials inform you about both safety and efficacy.

Unless it's a wonder drug like penicillin was in the 1940s, you need a trial to test whether it works.
I have a single apartment and I probably spend 15-20 mins a day washing dishes. I don't have a dishwasher, and I don't have a vacuum cleaner. I use a broom and I mop the dust every one or two weeks. It may take a little more time, but I agree with that other comment that it can be a zen-like experience. And I feel I need it as a balance from all the mental work I'm doing all day.
At the dosage recommended here one could suffer acute drug toxicity. The national guideline has since moderated the prescribed doses.
Generally you can't remove a login choice that easily. If you already have your own login + 3rd party logins, removing a 3rd party can create friction with your existing users.

If you only had 3rd party logins, then you can either remove them and develop a single first party login, or add Apple's login (which is likely much easier and safer).
It's pretty clear to me what the incentives look like for developers these cases, and they don't seem like they could result in less choice.
I was obsessed with vector displays as a kid. The standup versions of Star Wars and tempest looked so futuristic in comparison to the other stuff out at the time. Vectrex also looked a whole lot cooler than the Atari 2600 but I guess people like color and those overlays did not quite cut it :p.

I am still in disbelief.
You are payed well to do X. You can’t get anyone to pay you to do Y. Yet you believe that Y is more valuable to society than X. Why?

Isn’t society’s willingness to pay you for something a decent signal that society values it?
I thought I was generalist until I noticed that some skills I claimed to have, I hadn’t actually used in a decade or longer. Do I really still know that stuff? How many problems I had to deal with are resolved?

Most of it must come from the asphalt.
As someone that approves of rewriting C in Rust rather than being sick of the publicity.... still a funny joke.
Current basic income studies show about ~10% work disincentive. Sure, you might start painting, and never turn back. But most people would like to do something, to have some extra money, etc. Basic will always be just that, very basic. But it would help tremendously to lift people out of the vicious cycle. (That they must take the shittiest jobs because they need money right now, so wages are low, because there are a lot of people who will take those jobs even at those low wages.)
Biologists can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like fighting infection is a war of attrition. So anything you can do that shifts the balance helps.
I might recommend that people who have set up Discord or Slack or Matrix or whatever should set up their own IRC server to bridge with it, rather than the end user setting up their own.
We could differentiate between providing basic life support (housing + food + medicine) and paying for your hobbies. I am doubtful that the stick is the only option (destitution) and not the carrot ( having an iPhone Pro Max Super Wazoo 300, eating at restaurants).

In your example, books I'll concede you could do on the cheap, but woodworking not so much. As a hobbyist woodworker myself, I know how much all the basic tools cost, and then the wood on top of that (+ a large margin for how frequently I botch a good plank).

And it's not like we need to provide a 3,000 sqft penthouse to those who are not contributing to society; something that keeps people safe from the elements but is otherwise pretty bland would be okay. I think it could be sufficiently bland that folks would be motivated to work to upgrade.
Hell, I've seen F-Secure classify Firefox on OSX as malware. I would assume such common software binaries would have their hashes whitelisted or something.
> Frontier areas are enormous, and roads barely last a few decades before they need replacing.

I think the issue is that you need to have the roads in the rural and frontier areas to get the food to the cities, i.e. even if nobody lived there, you'd still need to maintain them until we switch to soylent green and the cities become self-sustainable.
Sort of. They do have a backpack that has a bevy of cameras that captures everything in certain intervals, but they only do this for popular tourist sites or areas around Google.
If I am reading it correctly, that is not what the paper says. It says that it takes into account the individuals who had the disease but were not reported/recorded.

Further to that, some individuals are asymptomatic which means that not only are they not reported, but they never are. They don't get the disease. It has nothing to do with how far the disease progressed in them, because they never have it.
Income taxes yes, but there are taxes like the HST, gasoline taxes, alcohol taxes that bump up the tax rate significantly.

Your interests/hobbies don't help the current economy, which does not value them as much as other types of labor. I think we'll find that the economy quickly changes once the incentives go from "wage slave at some company to pay for roof and food" to doing whatever you want without fear of becoming homeless and dying, which can range from doing nothing, to dedicating your life to art or woodworking. There absolutely will still be people willing to do the work that needs to be done, this time, at a more proper price, not the price that is set because there's an oversupply of workers who are forced to work or face death.
Even if it's already approved for human use, we still need to test for efficacy before prescribing it to everyone. See also: remdesivir, favipiravir, Prezcobix, chloroquine and ruxolitinib, among many others.

> Interesting idea. Infect everyone with the “mild” version of SARS to protect against the severe one.

Two notes:

1. SARS-CoV is the 2003 strain, which is generally accepted as being the more severe - yet more difficult to transmit - strain of coronavirus. So in this case (unless I'm misunderstanding), people who caught and survived the more severe SARS-CoV in 2003-2004 are less likely to be as affected by the milder SARS-CoV-2 strain. Worth noting that the population of people infected by SARS-CoV is not all that high, so the value isn't so much that there's a population protected from SARS-CoV-2 as it's that there's enough of a similarity between the two strains that we could learn a few useful things about treating the latter.

2. The model you described, using a milder agent to protect against a severe one, is the original concept behind vaccines, done by Dr. Edward Jenner with Cowpox to protect against Smallpox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine
They're torn up from the road and rubbed off from the tyres themselves. The majority is obviously coming from the road.

There's been studies done here in Sweden since we've banned studded winter tyres in some areas of Stockholm in an effort to reduce road wear and improve air quality. I don't know of any sources in English off the top of my head though.

The last time I read an article about it though (2+ years ago, during Diesel-gate), the findings was that the danger in the particles comes from their size with smaller particles being more dangerous for humans. And that road particles were something like an order of magnitude larger than exhaust fume particles from diesel engines.

We've since banned diesel engines inside Stockholm as well so the whole thing is moot here.
I live next to a very busy road (6-lane). When I moved in, the closets were filled with black stains. My brother-in-law cleaned it and said he never saw that kind of dirt. The closets are dirty again.

As time passed I also never encountered that amount of dust. The dust was also extremely different from the dust when I lived in the forest, dark colored and plentiful.

It accumulates very quickly, it gets abandoned-house-dusty in a week.

My breathing also got worse compared to the forest, especially during nights. So there's definitely something dusty around the road.

It was also quite interesting to see that the bathroom gets dusty as quickly too, despite being closed most of the time. It's like the whole ventilation system of the building naturally permeates dust.
Well, one, what's your alternative? Force depressed people who can't hold down a job to starve on the streets? We're trying that approach now, does it seem to be working out well?

If you have a survival stipend, it's probably a lot more common for qualified, competent people to have career gaps. I probably would, personally. That makes it easier for the depressed kid to compete whenever he decides to rejoin the job market. (Also, for some reason, parents who set up trust funds tend not to worry about this....)

Also chances are if the depressed kid stays home for a few years, he will find some calling he actually likes - programming, music, writing, some specific type of research, whatever - and come out of it with a particular qualification to do something. What's the benefit to the depressed kid of having him flip burgers and stack shelves and have no time to figure out what he actually enjoys?
Does anyone know a good way I can test to see if my router is vulnerable?
Yes, I meant it in the general sense, actually, though it probably didn't come through like that.
Thank you! As I mentioned before, when I started, I did not know anything about programming at all. I spent about 4 to 5 hours of studying per day. It was hard for me at the beginning, but if with the right motivation, everyone can do impossible things. Five months ago, I never thought that I would be able to create something like this.
"We are all gonna die" is a statement about the mortality rate, not the case fatality rate. This paper does not deal with the mortality rate.
Happy to elaborate

It’s thinking like yours: families come out ahead by 100k or so

on the “uneducated” politicians part: that persists in today’s legislators

that leads to polices like the US has today: laws that do not mandate parental benefits.

Income and money are not everything: pretty self explanatory.

But alas, untraveled and relatively speaking closed minded citizenry: it’s sad that Americans who have not seen diverse perspectives on what else is possible and how others live due to lack of travel (American geography plays a huge role here too)

sees their way as righteous: holding the belief that you don’t get parental benefits and yes it’s a hard life but it is what it is and people who don’t agree are lazy (Europeans) and/socialist.

as they are honest and hard working people: holds the above mentioned belief very strongly as they are fundamentally people who are had working and honest and hence consider their way makes sense (self confirmation bias)

It’s a pretty bad side effect of being honest, law abiding and hardworking that you feel your way is the right way and perhaps even justified because of ones struggles: when one is honest, hardworking , law abiding and plays by the rules a side effect of that is the strengthens of their belief and values whole sale. Which means seeing and accepting a different perspective is harder for them (look at our political divide today for example)

It’s a cycle the promotes more of the same - status quo: the cycle of hardworking, honesty, civil obedience that begets strengthening of believing that acceptance of way the things are and change is not needed which reinforce hardworking honesty civil obedience which begets .... you get the idea. This is precisely the reason why change in this country takes a very long time. Almost any big change dosnt happen till after a generation and half has passed.

If you have an hour to spare highly recommend watching a documentary about the differences between America and Sweden. If you have amazon prime it’s free to watch on prime video.

In my experience, a master of one is most of the time better described as a jack of one trade, anyway.
I honestly believe the anti-plastic movement as well as the recycling movement are at best mass confusion and at worst a way for corporations to divert environmentalists energy away from focus on reducing consumption, reducing travel and reducing human sprawl which would have actual environmental benefits but would hit business growth much more than "buying reusable containers".

This whole, I travel thousands of miles every year but that's ok because I bought a reusable bag shows a complete lack of proportion and perspective. On top of this, the reusable bags take more resources to produce and often they aren't machine washable so they're thrown out anyways once they're soiled, but that doesn't matter because both carrying options have insignificant impact to the environment compared to most forms of consumption.

Having universal health care is great in Canada. If you break your leg or get sick you don’t have to worry about going bankrupt. My chiropractor spent 1.5M on cancer therapy for her husband and he still died. There are stories of moms waiting outside the emergency room with a thermometer checking their children’s temperature because they couldn’t afford the copay. My pregnant babysitter had to go to emergency and paid $1000 for a copay.

But Canada only has 3200 ICU beds across the entire country. For a country of 35M. Canada has 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, 36th out of 40 in the OECD. The US is only 31st with 2.8 hospital beds per 1000, similar to Canada.

My friends in Canada have had to wait months for things like MRIs, seeing specialists, etc. I got an MRI next day, $100 copay. Just last week one of my friends’ boyfriend had a “dark spot” on his liver show up on a CT scan, but the doctor never followed up and my friend couldn’t reach the doctor via phone. Another of my friends had to wait 2 years for autism therapy and right now has engaged in multiple protests in Toronto because Doug Ford has completely fucked up autism therapy funding.

So there are good things and bad things about it. In Canada you don’t have to pay but you are trapped by its bureaucracy that keeps its employees paid and you have no options. In the US you have options but it could be very very expensive.

> The closest CPU option is 32 cores 3970X TR, but it runs $2000, not the $2400 they spend (again, 2020 dollars).

Sticking to HEDT, rather than server components, the 3990X is available, appropriately enough, at $3,990 retail. This is 64 cores.

> 256GB of DDR4 ECC RAM (instead of 4GB) will cost about $1200, not the $1350 spent.

This is not possible as a combination right now. Threadrippers (as is the case for all mainstream and HEDT processors from AMD) can only use unbuffered DIMMs. The largest unbuffered ECC DIMM I have been able to find is 16GB, which maxes out at 128GB with 8 DIMM slots (I haven't seen larger for any TR motherboards).

> For $1440 in storage drives, you're either looking at dual 4TB SSDs if you want SSD speed, or an external 4-bay NAS with 3 8TB drives.

If it's a capacity play, you can easily get more than 3x8TB if you install into the tower directly, rather than a separate NAS. Especially with Threadripper, the motherboards tend to be large and 3rd gen need massive cooling solutions. There should be room for at least 4-8 3.5" drives in the tower.

Still, the modern god box is a good sight better than the old one.
Not huawei but I have worked with networking gear from china and other countries (cloud scale) that has similar backdoors. Basically an account where a whitelisted ip can use to ssh to the device. It was basically a "support" account. If you have a critical problem you get on the phone with their engineers and have them help you troubleshoot with the backdoor access. Of course no one calls it a backdoor,more like a side door for support.

I suspect that's what they're talking about here. I also suspect a much more clever actual backdoor in their products. People think a backdoor is something that gives direct shell access,but in reality compromising data integrity or compromising something else so that the attacker can access it easily or a one way "back window" where the device or other devices are taken offline is also a "backdoor".

Huawei is distracting from concerns of actual backdoor. They can easily say "would you consider windows auto-updates a backdoor? How about windows remote assistance?" ,they're basically misdirecting to a defensible side door by calling it a backdoor.
