Clearly, there are trade-offs to be made. Making the meetings too open will also drive important topics and persons out of the room.
There are a lot of different kinds of financial institutions with a lot of different kinds of needs. In general, however, functional languages are a good fit for highly regulated domains, because they encourage splitting the (stateless) business legal rules for the domain from the stateful data management.

Complecting the two into, e.g. an Account object that has both metadata related to an account and e.g. rules related to transactions that can be part of an account quickly turns into an expensive maintenance nightmare.

That's not what natural selection means... medical innovations are still natural selection factors. It doesn't stop, we just naturally figure out how to get better at it.
As I said there is probably no official WHO definition or criteria due to big economic impact of such declaration and it is decided on a case by case basis.

Are you aware that you're arguing in bad faith throughout this thread, or do you think these are strong points you're making? "Someone must've quitted drinking before AA existed" => "the silent majority of quitters do so via self-help" is nowhere close to a valid conclusion. Particularly for someone who's prided themself on their rationality elsewhere..

How often do people attend public events of 1,000 or more people? From a public health perspective, I'm sure the safest number is 0. But along the curve of 0 to 1,000 -- is the risk increase linear? Exponential? It's hard to say how effective of a measure this is in reducing spread.
Before helping people already in locked regions if you are not I beg you to do whatever you can to talk some sense into your representatives. The level of actions you want from your point of view would probably be seen as "drastic" or "exaggerated". It is not.
It would be great if we had some kind of global institution with distributed local branches whose aim was to feed the hungry, tend to the sick, and commune with the destitute.
Well, should you ever get the opportunity, however, I wish you success!

My DS originally came with the 5-speed manual. The 5-speed transmission is special, and the engine was specially built to support it. If your half-automatic failed, you replaced it with a 4-speed manual. Both the half-automatic and the 4-speed could support a manual hand starter at the front, the 5-speed cannot.

I learnt this a few years back, when my engine had to go through a renovation, and it was apparent that only one transmission could fit on the engine; a 5 speed manual. So it would also have had to have its engine replaced, which I find a little unlikely. Although, someone had decorated it to make it look like a Pallas, even though it was originally not.

The problem with the fuel injection system in the DS is that power distribution is not electronic (while the rest is). But you can buy a replacement for that to make it electronic, which greatly reduces the risk of catching fire. Most people these days replace their power distributor to an electronic one. Although, more for the reason that you get a smoother ride, since it is better at distributing the fuel.

That being said, in all my time of owning a DS, I have not heard of anyone catching fire in their DS.
That's true. You also need to be sensitive about echo chambers, and that's something humans also routinely fail at. I trust credible experts, not the self-selection of Twitter accounts telling me what I already believe.

Even if you 100% trust everyone you follow, and also believe them to be entirely impartial, the nature of Twitter makes it so easy to spread misinformation (mixed in with real stuff.) Twitter is optimized for viral content, not true content.
We still don't have a SARS (2002) vaccine as far as I can tell.
Ensuring that all companies account for and pay their true costs would take some of the 'efficiency' gains away from larger players. In the current system larger players are better able to bend laws to their favor.
Banning all public events has some tricky 1st amendment problems. Permitting larger events and controlling them is something that's relatively inside the bounds of the understanding of first amendment protections.
If the root cause of the problem is not resolved, even we overcome this virus, then now what? What's next? If the next virus hit us again, would Chinese government still try to cover up the problem and stop people from speaking up? Would WHO stop down playing the problem and advice not taking actions? It's a wake up call, while it's nice to have some heartwarming help from internet, I am more concern about COVID-19 is not the worst case, it's just a test, next thing could be way worse if we only try to look away from the root problem, like all the time we did.
Probably, but how is that relevant? Fans come from all over the Bay Area.
From what I've seen, many of those companies tend to hire locally but allow employees to then transition to remote, as opposed to hiring a remote role initially. That allows someone who's already proven their worth to have more geographic mobility, but also gives a preference to local hires.

For entrepreneurs or anyone thinking of All-Remote culture I think the hiring page is better [1]. And a list of countries that they dont hire due to legal reasons. [2]. And list of countries they have listed as cooperate entity for Payroll [3]

I think a lot of the issues and problems with All-Remote is not in the communication or working style ( which can be adopted ) but actually in the hiring and legals where smalls startups have absolutely no time, idea, nor the energy to do it themselves. I remember reading HashiCorp's founder saying the same thing where its was the hardest part of hiring across the world.

This may actually be startup idea to solve this.

The president did not call the virus a hoax. You're either being intentionally disingenuous or are poorly informed. Before you post an out of context link to a partisan blog, go find the entire statement in context and realize everyone else here is quite able to do the same. If you wish to remain in an information bubble, that's your choice but don't be surprised when others who do not pop that bubble when you attempt to spread misinformation.
The idea that a policy attempting to stop the consumption of wild animals would dramatically reduce the risk of a pandemic isn't sound. Most foodborne zoonotic outbreaks come from livestock, particularly in cases of newly developed farmland encroaching on wild animals, and transmission to livestock does not present a significant barrier for a Novel Coronavirus or other pandemic disease. H5N1 for example spreads to humans predominantly via poultry. The Chinese government also already discourages the consumption of such animals, and it is unlikely that further policy would have much impact, and the political effort could be much better spent elsewhere.

It's not a harmful proposal or anything, I just don't think it would have much impact, and it fixates excessively on the particulars of two specific outbreaks.
The "simplest" explanation would be that they were discussing the outbreak in China and using secret intelligence gathered by classified sources or processes to do so.

Even so, it would still be stupid to let those limited discussions be where policy was made.
Well it is pretty much Zombie Apocalypse replete with all the reasons why movies, shows, games, and novels, always have the world become overrun. Yet people ridicule them for it and here we are, containment does not work in societies with such freedom of travel and no recollection of past events.

Throw in now in many countries the level of self entitlement is so high that it truly is hard to quarantine people voluntarily. Yes you still have those who respect the law and others but we have far too many who either put themselves above both or just act maliciously.

Let us all hope it is an over reaction

What's wrong with that? It's literally adapting to the regulation, and scaling down events down to the legal size. 0% risk doesn't exist, and smaller crowds is a measure to reduce risk.
It's a very charitable interpretation. Unfortunately, the administration is actively working to prevent the CDC from spreading useful information.

In America, in most states, you do have the right to refuse treatment. Although mostly seen as a right to die for those who are terminal, cases have be brought up and gone either way for Christian Science followers depending on the situation/court.

> Resiliency only pays off when there's a crisis

resiliency mostly pays off when there's a crisis. You can reduce latency in systems by sourcing things closer to use, but having a fallback farther away.

It's a tradeoff though. If I have two suppliers, the odds that I have 'a supplier issue' are doubled. But the odds that I have no supply at all is lower.
Yes at some point the new infections has to go down if for no other reason than there is no one left to infect. As you said it must be logistic, because after a while infected people simply bump into fewer and fewer uninfected people.
Or, instead of issuing unclear vision, the state should just be issuing a blanket state ban on events larger than the x they want. If they don't want 999, clearly they choose the wrong number. Many large events across the country still aren't being cancelled, and they're being cancelled in an overly ad-hoc manner.

Those without sufficient information shouldn't be making these moral gambles to begin with.
Depending on where in the world they are, local hires just might not be available.

What mechanism other than litigation and the consumer protection bureau do you think should enforce against false advertising? How much resources should be expended to fight it? Do you have an alternative to propose, or do you prefer instead to attack a known-to-be-imperfect system?

Please read the entirety of my comment before painting me so negatively...

I'm certain that just purchasing some discounted airline tickets for sometime later in the year will not in itself cause any negative global health effects. The decision to actually travel can be made entirely separately from that gamble.
I read this as mostly targeting sporting events and big concerts. Where groups with high numbers of infrequent attendees and a high number of events (basketball, baseball, soccer) are in close contact in the stands for several hours at a time.
Because China threaten them. If they don't bend over backwards for them, China will accuse them of "Sinophobia" and being agents of the CIA all the rest.
The important people have been kept out of the room by the secrecy urge. This isn't about preserving the ability to deliberate, it's about trying to avoid embarrassing Trump to the detriment of the process.
And if everyone died all problems would be resolved. You're not wrong (or maybe you are; perhaps those people add more economic value that you give them credit for, even indirectly), but there's difference between pursuing a better world and resolving problems like they're tech support tickets.
I will point out that the city or town officials (mayor or health inspectors) are in the same boat. Do they wait and see how things progress, or do they issue that declaration and forego lots of event revenue and business. Except their decision is the official one on which all these insurance claims will be based. Not easy either, and yeah, they’re supposed to be the authority, but they’re also just people struggling with these momentous decisions as well.
They'll have a guy out front with a clicker to keep track. It's stupid easy to comply with while still getting close to the limit.
The legal system is explicitly set up to encourage this. Laws don't actually spell out in detail every situation to which they might apply - there's no way a legislator can foresee this. Rather, the laws provide general guidelines of legislative intent, and then if two firms disagree on what that means, they take it to court, where the judge and often jury look at the specifics of the case, the text of the laws, how similar past cases were decided, and the general principle that similar situations should be decided in similar ways. Then they come down with a decision, which becomes case law by which future cases are decided.

If you want to succeed in Western countries it's worth internalizing this. In the absence of legal advice to the contrary, just assume that what you're doing is legal and assert it confidently, and most people won't challenge you. If they do, it helps to have lots of money to afford lawyers on retainer, so that a.) you're more likely to actually be right when you assert that what you're doing is legal and b.) you can craft very good arguments to persuade the judge and jury if it turns out you're wrong.
changed text because asking a simple question about how similar numbers of people does not impose the risk is met with down votes. it is bullshit dancing around the obvious, no matter how you assemble the number the threat is near the same.

employer, school, rock concert, or tech conference. which do you think would exercise more care over the other?

seriously, get a fucking clue people.

karma to spare.
In Czech all events over 100 and also all schools are now closed.
China is a very big place. Lots of modern clean areas and lots of areas that are best described as cesspools. Neither is truly reflective of the entire country. Pretty much the same can be said about the United States and many other countries.
The WHO defines a pandemic as the worldwide spread of a disease[1]. So the disease only becomes a pandemic after it has spread everywhere; it wouldn't make sense to call a disease a pandemic before it becomes one.

... but what about graphic novels?!
Let's put it this way: If the administration had come out with strong actions and warnings about covid-19, those who still trust the administration would be better-informed, the messaging would be more consistent, and those who are inclined to think the president lies about everything would, for the most part, not be saying "it must be a hoax". So we would, in fact, be better off, even if it didn't restore their credibility.
Suppose you had brain damage and a doctor prescribed some tongue-twisters for you to recite in order to exercise specific parts of your brain. Would you object based on the semantic content of the tongue-twisters? If one of the tongue-twisters was "Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name", would you object to reciting it because you disagree with what it means? What if clinical trials had found that particular phrase to cause the necessary brain exercise, and no-one had discovered any alternative ways to achieve the same exercise?
I do some convention work. Most labor is hired specifically for the event itself. We won't be "laid off". We'll never be offered work in the first place.

Side note: apparently this makes getting unemployment benefits a little trickier (but not impossible), since I don't have "an employer" and I wasn't let go from a job. I have "those 4 or 5 companies that do all the conventions and who hired me in the past but aren't hiring anyone this year".
Trump has mastered the art of saying word salads that convey what he wants but do not syntactically say what he communicated. He is the most talented politician the US has seen in decades, and this is just one example.

He says the word salad, the sound bite is picked up as outrageous, and then when the tiny subset of his supporters who care to look carefully at it examine the transcript, they can vindicate him based on technicalities of the syntax he used.

But make no mistake, he intended to communicate that the virus was a hoax and he did so quite effectively, just as he intended to show support for the white nationalists in Charlottesville and intended to convey that he thinks many immigrants are rapists.

While I am not a partisan for either party and despise most of the major pols, one must admit that Trump is very good at politics, and this is a great example. Once called out, his supporters defend him by dissecting the word salad and finding a well meaning, thoughtful comment where none ever existed :)
Italy shut down their entire country to make Trump look bad. Wow, that's some dedication to the cause.
This was a bit of a poorly-considered comment.

To take you at your intent, all humans will be exposed to this virus with more or less the same chances of suffering. I imagine there may be pockets of resistance within certain gene pools, but it's a crap-shoot who and where.

> What are they going to do now? Let people die just to keep the economic illusion running or let people live with actual infection numbers and crash the stock market?

Most likely, yes. They will prevent the public from seeing the extent of the problem until after thousands of people die they will use their media resources to blame someone else.
For those not aware, NAB is huge. Last year there were over 100,000 attendees. It's not as big as CES (around 180,000), but it's a big deal for the city and the many vendors exhibiting there. They made the right call by cancelling, but it's evidence of the impact of this pandemic.

I think this depends on your specific AA. In bigger cities this is largely indeed the case. However, in smaller towns it’s not as true.

That being said, these smaller towns already pressure people to believe in a higher power in most social settings, so it’s less a case of AA imposing it and more society, which is kind of to be expected in a people driven effort.
Hey, Jent.ly team here!

Online articles are often lengthy and descriptive. To save your time and attention, we developed a Chrome extension that summarizes online web pages by highlighting the key points of an article.

Why build another summarization tool? We found that existing tools lacked flexibility and various features. Some required you to copy-paste the source text into their website. Some displayed the summary in a new window or pop-up. Others were website specific, for example only summarizing on Reddit.

We built Jent.ly with that in mind! It works on a variety of websites (news, blogs, reference), highlights the important sentences directly within the page, and doesn’t require you to navigate to another website.

Try it out below and let us know how we did!

"is a Presidential Directive establishing a comprehensive policy on the federal government structures and operations in the event of a "catastrophic emergency". Such an emergency is defined as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

However, there is also a not-insubstantial cult that will never change their minds, and take their beliefs to the grave with them.
I mean, in theory, this would be a really good reason to go into deficit spending - this was unforeseeable, unnatural and preventing long term economic damage is in all of our interests - in actuality the US is too big to sanely manage such compensations and, given the current uncollectability and extreme size of the US deficit we probably don't want to try and draw any attention to it during a national crisis.

All those economic stimuluses that got dumped into stock buy backs came out of the fund that should be there to cover our asses right now.
Specifically, ensuring compliance is as easy as proving non-compliance. Unless the cops are there with a clicker, employee with a clicker wins every time.
For people embedded in companies: make sure your company can work remotely. Buy more VPN licences, update firewalls to handle the traffic, find meeting / conferencing software, whatever else you need to do to keep people working outside of the office.

For really big tech companies (FAANG), improve data analytics for automated reporting of health data to government agencies (CDC, FDA, etc). Google Flu Trends [1] is a great example of this. Basically google combines common symptom queries with geolocation data to track diseases in near-real time across a region. I first read about this in Datacalysm (Christian Rudder) and it's a fascinating thing.

For individuals: maybe make some cool graphs or ways of analyzing the publicly available COVID-19 data? There's a lot of misinformation going around and helping to curb that with real data will help the whole fear thing. For example [2]: people are saying to donate blood to get tested for COVID-19 "for free" but the test itself is a swab, not a blood pull.
