It's not going to stop 100% of people from moving around, but even it this reduces the spread by a few % it's already a big improvement; even reducing the daily rate from 21% to 20% can have a 20x effect on total cases over a year.

I somewhat like the idea of having a democracy without parliament or elections. Instead, whenever a law needs to be made (either because the administration identifies the need or because something akin to a ballot initiative gets enough signatures) 100 people are drawn from the population at random and tasked with writing that law. They are allowed to summon/subpoena as many experts as they like to help them with drafting the law.

The idea is that every citizen would be involved in one, maybe two laws in their entire lifetime, therefore giving them the sense that this is the one time they can contribute to politics in a meaningful way. Also their names are tied to that particular law forever, meaning that fear of social pressure could be more effective than for a politician who votes for 1000s of things in their political career.
the logistic curve is what happens to the initial exponential grow when there's no more way to grow, because there is no more population to infect or when severe social exclusion is set, but the initial grow is still exponential.
Nationalizing the service would destroy its usefulness. The public sector has its advantages but creativity, technological innovation, and good UX are not among them.
The CDC is updating their recommendations for healthcare providers several times a day. There's plenty of epidemiologists working on this topic in the us: shutting down airports and roads also kill people and it has varying effects depending on the point of the epidemic you are in.

I can't believe I'm saying this as a libertarian but you have to put some faith into the government's action here. The public in a panic already took away all the masks healthcare providers needed to safely attend patients, diminishing the capacity to serve.

The "U.S. pandemic response team" that article is talking about were White House staff, part of the Trump administration rather than the non-partisan bureaucracy. The actual, on-the-ground organisations and bureaucracy involved in pandemic response - the stuff most people would probably think of as the pandemic response team and that the comment I'm replying to seems to suggest should be in charge - is still there. The staff it's talking about were also all part of the national security side of the administration rather than the health side, and of course it's the health side which is in charge of the CDC and the FDA.

Scientific American is a magazine for the general public that have a high school level education in science. It is not a peer reviewed scientific journal, thus the SA articles do not have the same level of footnotes and references that a scholarly journal might. Having said that, I think on balance, the quality of journalism in SA is excellent, thanks in part to highly skilled and qualified editors.

Anyway, this article by the "discoverer of the Solar Wind" (maybe validator is a better word), Eugene Parker, is relevant to this discussion: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~sshepherd/research/Shielding/docs...
That's a good approach. On top of being easier than going cold turkey, it also lets you slowly migrate all your social needs elsewhere.

The proposition that ethical sourcing is the differentiator in an otherwise undifferentiated market seems incoherent.

If Barry is able to communicate to the market that his honey operation is more ethical, then he can communicate other things to the market as well, irrespective of whether they have any substance or basis in product. Lots of brands of water out there, many different shapes and sizes of bottles. Barry's honey is differentiated, just not in terms of product.

Mark can continue treating his bees badly, or he can try to discredit Barry, or he can try to differentiate his product in some way (planting health-giving plants whose pollen they can deposit into their honey).

The post imagines only one assumption being relaxed: that of ethical sourcing and the ability to communicate that fact. But in relaxing those assumptions, it is natural to relax others: the power of marketing being foremost. This is a complex system and you cannot change a single variable, or imagine that Mark simply takes Barry's moralistic grandstanding lying down.

I am from Italy and every single friend of mine working in healthcare as a doctor has confirmed me that the situation is like the one described here. A friend of mine who is an orthopedist outside lomdardia has also confirmed that they have already asked him to work extra hours and they are already at full capacity, so he's preparing to assist covid patients.

Personally I know a girl whose soon-to-be husband from zero symptoms went to being intubated in 3 days. Luckily for him there were still machines available and he's relatively young and in good shape so they have allocated it to him.

One can surely ignore these reports as they are not provided first hand by doctors. In that case it is sufficient to wait. Soon this situation will be a reality in many more regions/countries so it will be easy to experience this first hand.
China was slow, and it turned into a disaster, then they got their act together.

Italy was slower than that.
Interesting, but as a layman this seems totally backwards. If the underlying premise is flawed, who cares if the methodology is correct? If the original study hadn't made errors like misclassifying some projects or commit messages, the result would still be based on an unfounded premise.

You don't need a unique value proposition to sell honey.

If you sell honey, usually your goal isn't to monopolize the whole honey market. You just sell honey.

You might be nearer to some customers. You might be a bit friendlier, or have slightly better marketing. Or people just buy from you because they are used to it.

Not every market is a winner-takes-all, and that's very good.

This translates to software as well. There are many markets that don't have one monopolist, and space for many players.
No, it's very clear. From the guidelines:

A lot of people mistake S3 for a filesystem. S3 and other object stores have very different characteristics, both in terms of performance (latency, troughput) and access patterns (seeks, atomicity). All abstractions on top of objects stores have been really painful for me at work, because people would just ignore the differences between a local filesystem and an object store and were wondering why their perf was terrible.
Risk is managed differently in places that have experienced actual loss. No need to try to educate me about weighted decision making.

> No, panic is making it much more difficult to implement counter measures.

Here in Denmark, where we're seeing an outbreak take hold, it's the EXACT opposite.

People are going out even though they have been told to self-quarantine, even boarding planes.

A couple refused to cancel a vacation trip even though they had been asked to quarantine because their son has been diagnosed with the virus.

I really think we could use a tiny bit more panic
So doctors work overtime during situations like this. Surprise. My problem with these reports is that they have a tendency to spread fear, especially the way the are presented. They also undermine trust in public information which only makes it harder to implement measures, in turn making it harder to contain the virus.
Until we have a vaccine or at least better treatment options.

> 1. The film Gattaca (1999), in addition to being an excellent, inspiring film all around, centers on an aspiring astronaut's upcoming trip to Titan. Highly recommended.

Gattaca is one of my favorite films. I agree that it is excellent, but I'm not sure it is inspiring. Gattaca is about how the system, society, circumstances and expectations beyond your control are an albatross around everyone's neck and ultimately harm and defeat the individual. In Gattaca, both Vincent and Jerome are tragic figures as they are both victims of expectations. Jerome is burdened by high expectations and Vincent by low expectations and those societal expectations are a hurdle to the lives they want to lead. Ultimately those societal expectations crushes Jerome and turns him into a cynical cripple. Vincent's societal expectations places a chip on his shoulder which costs him his family and his identity. And in the end, neither Jerome nor Vincent achieve their dreams as Jerome burns himself to death and Vincent dies on his way to Titan due to his "degenerate" heart. In a way, Gattaca is about two people on their own suicide mission as they rage against society/expectations. If you watch the movie from the beginning, you'll realize that both fully know that they are going to die/kill themselves doing what they are doing. It's a tragedy.

"One of the screens of known drugs in China that also flagged remdesivir noted that the old antimalarial drug chloroquine seemed to be effective in vitro. It had been reported some years back as a possible antiviral, working through more than one mechanism, probably both at viral entry and intracellularly thereafter. That part shouldn’t be surprising – chloroquine’s actual mode(s) of action against malaria parasites are still not completely worked out, either, and some of what people thought they knew about it has turned out to be wrong. There are several trials underway with it at Chinese facilities, some in combination with other agents like remdesivir. Chloroquine has of course been taken for many decades as an antimalarial, but it has a number of liabilities, including seizures, hearing damage, retinopathy and sudden effects on blood glucose. So it’s going to be important to establish just how effective it is and what doses will be needed. Just as with vaccine candidates, it’s possible to do more harm with a rushed treatment than the disease is doing itself." - Derek Lowe

> Is it possible to earn money with addons?

Sure, if you lack your spine and moral compass. The business model is as follows:

1) Make a free add-on and have it gain popularity.

Then, either:

2a) Inject malicious code into it that delivers malware/advertisements, making you money.

or:

2b) Sell your add-on to a third party that will do 2a). If your add-on is popular enough, potential buyers will come to you themselves.

Other than that, no, I don't think you can monetize an add-on directly.
