I'm not seeing any references to the accuracy or inaccuracy of the test. They mention a severe case that's negative should be re-tested and that samples from the lower respiratory tract are better.

That is the thing. This discussion started around whether the CDC should have created their test and the claim was the CDC's actions were a response to the inaccuracy of the WHO test. But part of the accuracy of any test is whether the virus in a location at all - if the virus is, say, only in a person's lungs, any test will have trouble using blood or spit.

Remains to be seen. If this goes horribly wrong (I expect it won’t) then it may have the opposite effect. If things go even slightly well, I expect the lessons learned will at the very least allow companies to be more flexible in their hiring practices.

Either way I believe it will open the conversation to those who previously shot the idea down. Any change is scary, but that won’t stop things from moving forward.

The real issue here is neoliberal values and misplaced economic theory. Remote work can be done in an ethical and economically beneficial way.

Instead of the fed injecting money to stimulate loans, government should spend money on necessary future investments and fund it with issue of a ratio of treasury bond and direct monetary creation
This isn't only because of COVID-19. The OPEC+ union between Russia and Saudi Arabia broke down yesterday. The Saudi's are now flooding the market with crude and are likely going to increase production to record levels. Crude is down 30% as of 3/9 1AM EST. This uncertainty (plus people moving out of energy bonds into treasuries) is also driving the flight to safety.
Aside from the gallon of blood and pound of flesh we'll see called for in the public/political arena, I really doubt there's any viable fix that won't require pilot training.

As I understand, the 737-MAX blunder is at the core a result of bad incentive alignment baked into their deal with Southwest: Boeing was trying to avoid any FAA "differences" simulator training requirements to make more money in a fleet sales order to Southwest Airlines. If the FAA required level-D simulator training, Boeing agreed to rebate Southwest $1 million for each MAX bought. The training would have cost Southwest $2000 per head. That's $18M for their 9,000 pilots.

I don't think you can appreciate many of the works of the masters without seeing them in person. I still remember the visceral feeling I had when I first saw a Van Gogh in person at the Norton Simon Museum 20 years ago. Seeing art in a book, even a nice book with big pictures, just isn't the same. I'm not 'into' art, but seeing it in person was the first time I ever understood how a person could be.

There's nothing wrong with static HTML/CSS/JS. There's also nothing wrong with a rich SPA. And again, there's nothing wrong with using some kind of dynamic server-side HTML/CSS/JS presentation (like WordPress).

Where there is a problem is the culture of software engineering, and the tendency to select the newest technology stack of the day for inappropriate applications. I think any seasoned software engineer has acquired the skill of successfully selecting the correct architecture for the project goals (even if it is _boring_ to actually work on).

Whereas, take the junior to mid developer streams. Every time there's an opportunity to learn something new and break the grind from doing [X] for the past [Y] months, there tends to be unwarranted justifcation on why "we should use this new thing" despite there already being a well-known and battle-tested solution sitting right there.

For example: We need to build a basic company website. Someone from reception needs to be able to update the contact form and trading hours around five times per year. Someone from marketing needs to update product brochures once a month.

Seasoned engineer: Let's use any well-tested CMS such as WordPress and install a caching front-end.

Junior - mid engineers: EW WordPress! Doesn't that use PHP? Hahaha. Hahaha. Why on earth would we want to be known for using _PHP_!?!? We'd be _far_ better to just create a front-end on react and then write a microservice that will allow our staff members to update content. If marketing says SEO is necessary, we can _simply_ add a server-side rendering layer for the react front-end and deploy it onto a second microservice. And to make sure it all works, we can subscribe to some monitoring services, write a full test suite and CI pipeline. Everyone can install monitoring on their phones so if it ever goes offline, someone can immediately sign in remotely and debug which micro service is broken.
Ironic how these dashboards beautifully reflect / visualise data, yet it is widely agreed that the underlying data is largely suspect.
Doesn't matter if it is contained. If people accept it as normal (i.e.: full global spread) that's enough. There are bigger pandemics people have adopted to (AIDS,flu,etc...) a vaccine would help too.

The market fears are not a result of being afraid people will die. It's mostly around consumer spending,containment/quarantine efforts and supply chain stability.

This by itself is a very recoverable crisis, you don't need bailouts and mergers like in 2008. Nothing has collapsed (yet), which means everyone is trying to "buy low" as soon as any sign of long term recovery is seen. The only big fear is how politicians might throw gas into the fire for certain political ends.

I'm gonna channel Nicholas Taleb and bring up a couple points:

1. Nobody really knows for sure. Predicting the future worst case by comparing it the worst instance from the past in the category is a fallacy (I get the sense you're comparing it to the spanish flu, but consider that the past "worst case" was already surprising to people back then because it was worse than the "past's past")

2. It's not enough to look at pure probabilities, it's also necessary to consider the magnitude of loss for each outcome. For example, Russian Roulette with 100 slots for $100 has a median gain of $100 per round, but you wouldn't want to play that game.

3. I'm not brave enough to put my money on the line but if you're confident you could buy long term options on airline companies and make out like a bandit when travel recovers.
You can work with the parties or vote at a local level. At the national level your vote feels infinitesimal because it is. You get 1 300 millionth a say in who the next President is, for example.

That's not really corruption so much as it is not having much of a say in who the national leaders are. As the other comment mentioned, corruption is more like having to pay bribes to the police at traffic stops, bribes to get government services, etc.

In some countries, if I were stopped by the police I'd fully expect and try to "Can I pay the fine here?" In the US I'd fully expect that trying to do so would get me worse legal trouble.

Corruption is world wide, no doubt, but it doesn't occur with the same frequency worldwide.

We should be healthy to pursue our happiness. Health comes first before anything. Therefore, more and more people worry about maintaining their weight these days. Some people are even obsessed with losing weight. Weight gain does not have any benefits. However, it has many disadvantages. A person with a fat body cannot walk or run for longer. They feel breathlessness and experience heavy sweating if they perform physical activities. Likewise, their athletic performance is low. Moreover, there is a higher possibility of suffering from health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid and more.

How does Keto Fit Pro Really work?

The working process of this supplement is similar to being on a keto diet. Normally, your body burns the carbs to generate energy. However, this advanced weight loss supplement burns the accumulated fats in place of carbs to burn energy. For this process, this supplement initiates the ketosis process in the body. To put your body into a ketosis state, this supplement makes use of BHB extracts (Beta-hydroxybutyrate). They are a powerful source of energy that gives a fake signal of low carb to the body. As a result, your body turns to the stored fats to release needed energy for the body.

It also doesn't address the point the parent comment was trying to make. Bill Gates worked hard and now he's rich because of it--why does that mean U.S. citizens need to depend on him to stay healthy?
AFAIK most or all of those curricula do include a sirvey course for programming languages.

Reply to the parent commenter. I never disputed that. But since you replied to me: MS never allowed external security teams to audit its auto-update infrastructure. Can they not deploy any software with auto update? Until recently,their crypto api had a bug (backdoor? Lol) that allowed forging signatures for auto updates...so.. I don't see your point. Much like huawei, the speculation is that these types of backdoors will be used in times of war or severe political tension.

Not true. Shale oil is very expensive to extract while Saudi oil is amongst the cheapest. Low prices are going to put shale producers out of business and the Saudis will gain market share.

> building an SPA allows you to build applications as declarative composable functions which are deterministic

How is that not the definition of a function or a method?

Deterministic in what sense? It’s output? It’s input?

Bad code exists on any language. Looks like you’re comparing bad code/coding practices to good ones, that’s another thing and completely irrelevant of the language.
range(100).reduce(plus, 0) isn't cryptic, what's cryptic is single character symbols. Looking at that line, unless you know K specifically, it's very difficult to figure out it's a reduce. Where as `sum(range(100))` is pretty self explanatory to most programmers who don't know python.

These baseball arguments always fall flat in the face of actual danger to population imo. Yes, a gun is designed to kill, and regardless of caliber, until you get down to a pellet gun, it is especially good at it.

The baseball comparison doesn't stand: in the hands of an adult, a great deal of work is involved in killing someone with a baseball. Threatening to kill someone with a baseball doesn't immediately give you power of life and death over them - they can fight back or run. And in the hands of a child, the baseball is harmless, no matter the harm the child wants to mete with it.

A gun is none of those things. A toddler can kill in an instant with a gun, and this has happened, and will continue to happen.

Guns are for killing. Of all the things just about any American to handle, they are the best at killing. If we stop letting people walk around with guns, there's nothing they could carry instead with even close to the level of accessible (a toddler could use it) killing power.

Like I said before, maybe try acknowledging that and arguing from their killing power perspective? I think there are strong 2fa arguments regarding the ability of minorities to defend themselves that center around the gun's design in making it extremely easy to kill people.

I’m past that point, as are all of my friends. Nothing in my comment is changed by that fact.

If anything, coworker relationships actually become more important as you get older and your other friends start to drift away. Post age 30, work is one of the best (if not the only, for most people) opportunities to socialize and make friends. I’ve noticed that people in other fields realize this and take advantage of it, but those in technical positions don’t, and many techies seem to even actively despise that aspect.

There's a lot we don't know about this new strain of virus, which makes it hard to contain it. Testing provides data points. I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand that having more data as opposed to less when facing an unknown is a good thing.

If for every tit dollar you spend on outer prevention you can stop some tat percentage of disease spread both inwards and outwards, and then that has a provable impact on your own economy, I'd say playing the geopolitical sugar daddy is no selfless act neither in ther short term nor the long term.

I understand the need for assurance that those dollars are effectively working towards the intended goal, but assuming you are a sucker for paying the bill is only right if there was nothing of nutritional value to you in the menu.

So I guess the question is about working the data and crunching the numbers to know whether there is or isn't impact on your own economy and the welfare of your population, and not about not feeling like a sucker on the supranational ego scene.
Let's test it with basic math! The claim is "...performed some initial tyre wear testing. Using a popular family hatchback running on brand new, correctly inflated tyres, we found that the car emitted 5.8 grams per kilometer of particles.

If the average tire lasts 40,000 Kilometers then multiply that by 5.8 grams = 232Kg. 232Kg/4 tire per car = 58Kg per tire of tread. The tread is about 35% of the tire so the tire would need to weigh 165Kg. The average tire weights 20-22Kg, so that's a damn big tire!

New Asphalt might get tour up and account for additional particulate matter, but my understanding is that process slows considerably once the aggregate (small rocks) is exposed.
As I understand author’s point, your example with “sum” is only valid because “sum” word has very few meanings, especially in software engineering world.

Even the word “product” would introduce certain ambiguity in context of real world codebase: is it “math” product or some “domain” product?

It’s even worse with most other words.

So if in any given codebase you still have to know the specific meaning of every word, how is it different from having to know specific meaning of every K symbol?
