Adjusting our mental model of Covid-19
We have a few remote employees in the company I work for (I'm one of them), there are still some things we could do better, but it works well. When there were strikes and it got difficult for people to go to the office, many worked remotely. It worked well since we already had the tools and processes in place, and some colleagues who were skeptical about being able to work remotely discovered they liked it.

In companies with no remote workers and with no tooling/processes in place, it could backfire.
> I get that it's difficult to work out if the domain is going to be used for a legit purpose, but surely that's easier to do at the point of registration than it is to police afterwards?

How could it be easier? I could always start legitimate[1] and then switch later. Now, if you think about the context of "faceb00k.com is probably not legitimate" you get in all sort of discussions about what is okay, what is not okay, what is an edge case.

All these proposals bring us further into a domain where private persons/companies are deputized to rule what is okay under the law, because court processes take so long and are so complicated. It ignores that there is a reason they are long and complicated. We've learned the hard way what happens if they are not.

[1] For the sake of this post let's assume legitimate means 'okay under the law' and split away the question of morality
Huh? I’m pretty confused by this attitude. This seems pretty callous.

Obviously, media hype train is in full swing, but this is fairly infectious and fairly dangerous for those over 80 and those with other risk factors. That’s narrow, but it is not nothing.

Personal risk is pretty low for me (at my age/health status), but I’m still not super interested in getting knocked on my ass for a week. Particularly since coronavirus immunity is not believed to last for a particularly long period if time. I definitely don’t want it twice!
Oh, I was just answering the German comparison. I agree that mass surveillance is a terrible idea and is incomparable with democracy.

Rss / Atom is not dead, but it has become part of B2B stacks rather than being a standalone B2C format. Considering it’s XML, it was somewhat naive (in retrospect) to hope for anything different.

Btw, Podcasting is an interesting window on what an XML-powered web might have been: a multitude of different specialised clients and semantic aggregators, consuming content in agnostic formats, with no dependency on a handful of big browsers. Like a 1955 illustration of “Tomorrow World”, it still looks like a nice future, even though we know it will probably never happen.
They wouldn't, because they earn millions off of apps like Uber and co. It's why Youtube is more tolerant of bad behaviour of high-profile (read: high-viewer, high-income) channels, and Twitter hasn't banned Trump and his bots yet - they make too much money off of it, both directly and indirectly ('engagement', network effects, etc).

I recently moved back to Sweden after living 4 years in Germany. I don't have any cards, and I don't carry a "smart"phone anymore; in Germany this didn't cause any trouble at all and I was far from alone.

Much of the current Swedish society is currently closed to me, I know of three shops and one cafe in the (200k people) city center that accept cash. Some of it has been gradual but it changed dramatically during the time I was away.

Believe me, this is not the kind of world anyone really wants to live in. It's all very convenient until the crap hits the fan, putting this much power in the hands of any authority is a recipe for disaster. Not to mention those who have no choice.

> I am glad we seem to be at a point where we can do it all performantly enough.

Well, sort of. The problem is, if every web app assumes they can squueze whatever resources it can, it basically reduces your overall performance (and - if you are mobile - your battery life). It wouldn't be a problem if it was about apps actually requiring these resources (number crunching and other computationally intensive tasks). But we are talking about mundane tasks such as displaying a GUI here! It's just laziness on the part of everyone involved, and the end user suffers most.
China managed to contain it as a pandemic purely to Hubei province. There was almost certainly more internal migration between provinces than there was international migration so we have a sample size of n = 33 successful containment protocols in the face of an unknown number of asymptomatic carriers.

If every country in the world had adopted containment procedures as severe as Chinese provinces, this virus almost certainly wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold and we could have avoided the risk of a global pandemic.

As much as China might be faking numbers, you can't hide a pandemic, the signs are simply too obvious.

I agree with everything you said, just a minor comment... Facebook users are not Facebook customers, they are the product. Facebook customers are all the companies which pay Facebook for advertisement.
This seems non-sequitor? The main infection route is airborne droplets. Sure, washing your hands reduces risk, but it does not solve the problem. Showering is a good idea, but not relevant.

You can have negative interest on cash as well. See Freigeld.
They were old on average though and all got relatively good treatment (not too many overcrowded hospitals). Something that data makes very clear is that there are many asymptomatic cases though - around 50% of the people who tested positive did not experience any symptoms. Which suggests that areas where only people exhibiting symptoms get tested are probably missing a large proportion of carriers.
When - pretty soon - intensive care units in most countries will be overwhelmed, and millions of (mostly elderly, granted) people will be left struggling for their life in their homes, we'll see who is acting like a 9yo.
That wouldn't line the pockets of the oligarchs and the good ol boy network, because it would require the money to actually go to resources and not just overblown accounting entries to cover the pocketbook lining in the first place. The DC elite say fluffy words in public but in private are almost to a person "fuck you I got mine" people. They take oaths but don't mean them.

It's the sad truth that greed is the largest part of it, which enables the oligarchs to buy the politicians in the first place. Then if some rare person does resist, there are a whole slew of tools to use against them to force compliance, usually in the realm of blackmail (this is what Epstein was). These tools grow even more powerful as the surveillance engine is expanded (and the truism to remember is that surveillance is about control, not security). lookup Thomas Drake and William Binney to find out what happens to people on the inside who actually care about security and not control.

Top down compromise of a centralized system makes the system increasingly trivial to control as the compromise progresses.
You can definitely re-use the paper filters around least 3 times before throwing them away.

Life expectancy between Italy and China differs by about 7 years in Italy's favor, so I guess it's not that big of a difference.
It's hard to argue a feature I haven't seen, but just the fact you are able to program the feature means you were somehow able to break it up into a series of steps. Okay, breaking it down wouldn't produce something workable in itself, but it should produce something measurable, testable even.

For example:

Step 1 : Extract relevant data

Step 2 : Massage data into the correct format for graphing

Step 3 : Graphing tool visualization for simple example data set

Step 4 : Write tests for graphing/visualization

Step 5 : Plug real data into graphing tool
Good question. Since once someone is infected, how can early detection and being under quarantine help in recovery?

The answer is that with early detection, and keeping the virus numbers low, the health care network can be kept free for caring for the cases that do come through.

And ICU level care cannot cure the virus but can reduce fatalities.

Wow. So much subjective.

They lost ~$1Billion in a year. The customer voted.
Early detection does two things:
1. Allows you to isolate the person before they spread it further.
2. Allows you to be ready to treat their pneumonia which increases their survival chances.

It's not about you.

It's always difficult to determine and conceptualize personal risk, but in this case, maybe even harder: people are caught between the extremes of "I'm healthy, and it's very unlikely to harm me", vs. "this may kill millions of people around the globe unless we get lucky, and/or are very serious about the measures we take to contain it". (Both of these statements are true [for most people] yet seem irreconcilable.)

So you staying at home and not getting the virus probably doesn't make much of a difference to you, aside from not feeling crappy for a couple of weeks. But if we all do it, then on a population scale it will make a difference, as it's one of the actions that can contribute towards preventing potentially millions of people dying.

You might not feel that you would ever be responsible for transmitting the virus to a vulnerable person who then dies, and that might be true... but again on a population scale, someone is responsible, and that infection could potentially have been prevented by this (and other) measures.

Why increasingly?
Even if you did engage in acts of parallel construction, why would you risk exposing your methods for executing it on bypassing an irrelevant ToS? As quoted, you can still use the service for everything until the point of actually generating the evidence to be presented in court. Just use it to provide useful information to guide your actual evidence collection. The restriction on mentioning it in court is similarly silly, this is basically just a longwinded "We totally tried to stop abuse of our service" sticker.

It is not unusual with hours or even days out outages on individual banks card services and the shared "swisch" mobile payments.

It’s possible to contain a small outbreak, much more difficult to contain a large one. Think of it like a California brush fire:

- If someone is witness to the start of the fire, they’re going to call the fire department who will mobilize all resources available to a small area -> fire is contained quickly and with minimal loss of life or property

- If the fire starts in a remote area with nobody around for miles, it will get bigger and avoid detection until it becomes an imminent risk to people. At that point, the same resources will be spread across a larger area. As the wildfire grows, the wind caries embers and sparks other fires miles away, making the situation worse.
The store workers have children of their who have to be dropped off at school/day care in the morning and picked up in the afternoon.

I've heard that their border with China is pretty porous and that people cross it on a daily basis to get contraband into the country.

Even if the situation on the ground was disastrous, I'd bet that the government would do everything to hide it.

On my Christmas holidays I built a little tool that does similar things.

Features I wanted to include originally were

2 support bash/zsh/fish;
3 support toml-like description of command arguments.

At the moment I have a tool that generates completions from `--help` messages and supports bash/zsh. I use it daily and it makes me little bit happier.
