To keep up with the capacity of South Korea, aftet adjusting for population size the US would need to capable of running 70,000 tests per day. We aren't remotely in that ball park.

This administration massively dropped the ball here by being more concerned with keeping statistics low than actually keeping people safe. Even though they had weeks of advanced notice they only reinstated a task force after Washington state started spiraling out of control.

They could have solved this testing issue at any point within an hr by simply telling the FDA to authorize private testing. Instead they waited until governors and patients were literally begging online to improve test capacity for any change to happen.

You want to be in charge? That's what being in charge is. In times of crisis accurately assessing the situation and taking decisive action to solve problems. Not playing a leader on tv while sitting on your hands and passing the buck blaming others while simultaneously giving a false sense of unseriousness by downplaying the situation.

A month from now this wasted, squandered time is going to be absolutely indefensible. This country (like every other that hasn't taken this seriously) is gonna get hit hard.

Similarly if some caves are street sized, being there would not feel like being underground. Add to that better vr, and ability to jump really high due to low gravity and living in martian cave will be almost better than living in many cities here on earth (of course this is assuming 0.3g is high enough to prevent adverse effects astronauts see in 0g).

That's my point though - most people have no idea how the modern monetary system works. Most people have no idea banks have the power to create money. They think they're lending other people's money.

That's a good point, I can't say anything about Africa right now. It seems the virus hasn't affected the continent too much for now, it's difficult to say why, maybe bad conditions for the virus, luck or just a lack of testing (that's what I fear).
What I was trying to get across with my example was that you can define a standard, reliable way to perform equality checks on type-erased values without having equals on the root object. Granted, it looks a bit wonky, but it provides safer behavior than an instance equality method.
I use "Marvel Mystery Oil" for light machine oil duty. It is a red color oil about 5wt. Does not have problems with drying out or becoming gummy. It has a particular smell, kind of cinnamonish. I use because my grandad used it. I think he used it because it smells good.
It's this just a quote? The rest of the content on the page doesn't seem related.
At the top of the article:
“ Note: The study at the centre of this article on the transmission of the coronavirus was retracted on Tuesday by the journal Practical Preventive Medicine without giving a reason. The South China Morning Post has reached out to the paper's authors and will update the article.”
> So if you don't want to be tracked you can use that.

Or just not use anything at all. Or do what I do, and prefer shopping at stores that don't have a loyalty program. In my area, stores that have loyalty programs also have higher prices so that the "discount" from the loyalty card makes the price roughly the same as at similar stores that don't have a loyalty program.

So I go to the stores that don't have one. That's not only better for privacy, but is more frictionless and comes with no price penalty.
I was wondering why reading it was such a pain..
So this is in a weird place. It's trying to be a floor wax and a desert topping, that is, both a compile target and a human writable language, and the committee is having trouble deciding the vision and goals for the language.

I'm surprised someone takes my github saved games seriously. It certainly wasn't me.

I think this science project would be more fun if assumptions were discarded. Just gather the data, do it without a hypothesis. Something interesting might come up worthy of one.

I liked the bit of crankology in the article. If you sound like a crank no one will take you seriously? I had one day pondered what if the cranks are right? How would we know? It follows that we can't know sounding crank equals being wrong and that our idea of "sounding serious" is based on a flawed data set, if it isn't noise entirely. The topic of the study here certainly doesn't inspire my confidence.
Appreciate the tip! Will definitely check out the Justworks onboard flow. I think partnering with payroll vendors would be a great idea.
This reminds me of Wanderers, by Erik Wernquist.
https://vimeo.com/108650530

There's a scene at the end when one of our future generation looks at the surface of Saturn while standing on a station floating atop a Saturnian moon.

Very motivational.

Other videos by Erik Wernquist are motivational too:

I'm frustrated, too, but it's not necessarily the worst solution. My first reaction was that a video with a pause button and a slider would have been significantly better for little extra effort, but a lot of people disable autoplay and would have missed the point. An interactive animated data visualization would have been the best experience for people visiting this page, but it would have been a lot more work to make sure it worked across browsers and form factors and would have been harder for others to share and spread.

The disappearing caption was really irritating, though, and it wasn't obvious why it couldn't have been fixed in the gif.
Can't get through the paywall, but some of it is that the Price is Right has deliberately made it harder, which I think is something you can't ignore:

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a7922/price-is-right-p... :

"Terry Kniess studied prices. He saw that virtually every prize on The Price Is Right, from a pack of gum to the flashiest car, repeated. He and Linda memorized their values the way Terry had learned to count cards. When they felt they were ready, they made their way to California.... "Actual retail price, $23,743," Carey said. "You got it right on the nose. You win both Showcases.""

"The producers no longer rely on Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup; now they have different soups. They have different everything. They've built more luck into the games, dumb luck, and they've started doing sneaky things like changing the options on the cars — adding floor mats, taking away the stereo system — to mess with the prices. And they've started adding more luxury items, like Burberry coats, the sorts of things for which ordinary people who have lived their ordinary lives would never have clipped a coupon."

You can study for the Price is Right right now: https://quizlet.com/218097429/the-price-is-right-study-guide...

Though I don't vouch for how accurate that's going to be after the changes.

Based on what I could read of the article, and what other people are saying in response, I suspect the article is basically ruined by the fact that it was deliberately made harder. Of course after it was deliberately made harder, people did worse. There's not a lot of conclusions to be drawn from that data point, even trendy ones like "addiction to cell phones", which may ruin 90% of the people's memories but another fraction may be using their cell phones to run SRS programs to memorize everything. (You can waste a lot of time on cell phones, sure, but they can be powerfully turned to the light side if you take a bit of time to figure out how.)
Very interesting take! I haven't rewatched it, and now I have a reason. I thought the ending was open ended for the reasons discussed further on. Vincent gets to the rocket which was the goal.

I realized last week that I've gotten so used to not checking prices that I put a $70 bottle of melatonin in my amazon shopping cart without noticing. This particular brand is a regular purchase for me and it's always been about $7, so I didn't consider even looking at the price.

I'm sure that that's the goal as far as the seller is concerned - hope that buyers don't notice and purchase it. Yet another amazon scam
yawn. hasn’t this been done a million times over?
Was starting to think I was the only one that thought this. It's a total POS.
It's actually a rough indication of your wealth; there was an article the other day that categorized people by wealth based on what purchases they don't really have to think about (can't find it in quick order). Not having to nitpick about common groceries puts you comfortably in the middle class; the next step would be the ability to just go on vacation several times a year without really worrying about it. Then it's stuff like cars and big purchases like that, then houses, then idk, yachts? Elections? Countries?

"n Japan, 257,363 deaths were attributed to influenza by July 1919, giving an estimated 0.4% mortality rate, much lower than nearly all other Asian countries for which data are available. The Japanese government severely restricted sea travel to and from the home islands when the pandemic struck."

So evidence suggest it's not futile. So , you're right , maybe you're looking for "projection" or "cherry picking".

I probably have a pretty good idea generally of what things cost even though I don't really watch broadcast television. But I don't disagree with the basic point. All the Facebook employees getting the VPN endpoint blacklisted because they're all ordering from DoorDash because they don't have food at home and don't cook... I'm sure many of them have no idea what a dozen eggs cost and why should they?

This actually became a minor issue in a 1992 presidential debate [1] when GHW Bush had no idea what a gallon of milk cost. But, again, why would he?

ADDED: Eggs are probably not the best example because if you ever eat eggs at a diner or whatever, that sort of gives you an upper bound on the cost. But pick random staples like flour and it gets harder to reason about the cost.

All sweet chemicals other than sugar taste weird to me.

Stevia especially tastes like sharply-sweet chemicals. First time I tried it in orange juice I winced.

Nobody I know is panicking. It's just a good idea to wash our hands more than usual. You are free to go out and lick public surfaces just to show how smart you are. Everyone will be really impressed.

There is no reasonable method to have a travel ban within the United States short of isolating regions by military force. At the individual level the only guarantee is imprisonment which is the not so nice way of saying you cannot leave this facility. This still requires people to volunteer to be tested!

Voluntary travel bans are only as good as the person applied to, especially in an age where self entitlement is near an all time high. Then throw in the malcontents who will just expose people for whatever irrational reason they want.

Even if we could test at point of departure what does that gain us? Say you could test at the Airport, you are positive, does the tester get taken off the line, how many people before and after? Everyone on that concourse?

You should call your doctor/hospital if you have severe symptoms(that is, if you feel bad and are worried - don't be a tough guy/gal, go ahead and call). They will evaluate you and tell you whether it is necessary to go to a hospital. Be honest and ask them about your concerns. Call back later if things get worse enough for you to notice. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you are too weak to bring yourself - tell them to fetch you.

The hospital is there for people in significant danger of death. The virus does certain things in the end phase (as in "end of you!") that can be monitored and prevented better in a hospital environment than at home, hospital personnel have voluntarily chosen to remain on watch and they will be there come hell or high water. Careful nursing prevents
deaths.

Here are more detailed instructions (scroll down to "What you can do") but, for God's sake, don't wait to call or stay away just because you haven't checked off every item on their list:

It is. Everyone knows that the real solution to all these health problems is “eat right and exercise”, but there’s clearly a huge market of people looking for a “magic pill” to solve their problems instead of doing that.

Snake oil has been around as long as humanity itself, so you might as well do some studies on it since so many people will be using it.
I find reading this irritating because of the logical gaps in arguments.

The whole lead in to this doesn't hold together. They say this guy was patient zero but did everything right - as if to say that wan't enough, but then fail to explain how he spread anything. Maybe he didn't? Maybe someone else did?
Your statements do not seem to be supported:

- 1956 Hungarian revolt: started as a student protest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956)
- The Gulags: did exist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag_Archipelago)

and so on.

This looks pretty solid. On one of my machines I'm using "zfs-auto-snapshot", which works great for something I can just install and not have to manage, for getting some history. For replication of snapshots, I haven't done that recently, but in the past I just used some scripts I had written to do one-time migrations. That was a decade ago. This looks much more capable than those scripts.

Ask HN: DevOps, why do people still use Grafana/Prometheus etc.?
What is the point of "monitoring", setting up a fancy dahsboard showing some graphs of some time-series data?

Ive seen this used only to impress management and to get a "star treky" look in the office. But no body actually stands and looks at a graph as their day-job, nor should they. Nor do alarms go out to people from the Grafana dashboard.

Here is the thing, if you can have alarms go out that something is wrong, you have that then why do you need to see that on a graph?

I really dont see the point of "monitoring solutions" when any actionable event (even if it is generated by "interpreting time-series data by 'machine learning'", can just be an actionable event without showing stuff on a dashboard.

Enlighten me devops monitoring folks please?

I find it's a general problem with "household" goods on Amazon--and one reason the Dash buttons were mostly ill-conceived. You can get prices that are Walmart-competitive (which is basically my benchmark for paper towels and the like). But it varies all over the map and you absolutely have to pay attention. Which, in my case with a Walmart nearby, means that it's not worth the trouble.

Just throwing this out there--Gitlab can be self-hosted (pretty quickly with a helm chart if you're running Kubernetes), and there are self-hosted alternatives to Slack and most other SaaS.

Something seems fishy. Capacitors voltage versus charge conforms to the equation C= 1/2CV*V
with half the voltage you have only 25% of the charge remaining!
With a battery, you have the 2 half cell potentials that sum to the rated voltage. As you discharge, this is a flat line voltage until the charged element is depleted and it goes to zero, (discharged).

I became familiar with the term "quality time" as a contrast to "quantity time," regarding child rearing. As both parents began working outside of the home, and less time was spent with the kids, parents tried to ease their guilt by ramping up the quality time. This really doesn't work, and I agree with Al Franken: "“Parenting is the hardest job you’ll ever love. First and foremost, being a good parent means spending lots of time with your children. I personally hate the phrase ‘quality time.’ Kids don’t want quality time. They want quantity time, big, stinking, lazy, nonproductive quantity time.”
