I disagree here. Denmark is acting proactively and shutting down schools for 2 weeks. This is a "rip the band aid off early" type of move. By shutting down everything for 2 weeks, they effectively self-quarantine during the entire incubation period and will dramatically slow the rate of the virus.

China, on the other hand, did not do this, and they were forced to shut down schools for 6 months.

These moves are HARD and painful, but the key to stopping a pandemic is acting overly aggressive and far-reaching. The USA is not doing nearly enough. We're going to be Italy in about 2 weeks.

Why? To remind us how much we didn't like Yahoo to begin with or do they figure consumers can't possibly have a worse opinion about the brand so there's no way to go but up?
Wikipedia gives a figure of 27 million for Northern Italy[1].

But I want to be clear that nothing I said above is anything like a solid prediction, just a pure back-of-the-envelope rough comparison. There's nothing I'm going to predict here.

This is not overly complex. Insurance companies do similar assessments of lost revenue as part of business claims.
The risks of not freaking out and it decimating the populace should easily outweigh the risks of freaking out and it not having an impact. It's very difficult to even rationalize the latter because a freakout might mean the impact is negligible.

Best ideas for keeping kids busy during the Covid-19 school closures?
In light of school closures, I’m working on a list of “100 activities to keep your child busy while both parents are working remotely”... I thought you all would know Hit me up with your best ideas!
According to cdc expert, kids up to 19 mostly don't get sick, or if they do, it's not as bad as in adults over 40

It’s still unmaintained. We moved to slack, so unfortunately lost the incentive to continue maintaining it.
Just over 4 years for me and I was going to post almost exactly this.

I get up, work out or go for a run, take a shower/get dressed and then make breakfast. Shower and getting dressed like I'm going to work is a really important part. Also I have a rule that I never, ever eat at my desk unless it's absolutely necessary. I sit at the table and read or scroll on my phone.

I try and take a 10 minute break every hour or so to get up, maybe put away dishes, throw in some laundry, something to clear my head up a little bit. I like to make a list of things I want to get done in the morning and chip away at that here and there throughout the day.

When I'm done for the day, I'm done. I get up and go have a beer, take a walk, run to the store, anything to get me out for a bit.

I've found that to be a pretty successful way to manage both time and sanity. You don't want to get in a rut where all the sudden it's Thursday and you haven't showered or left your house.
You are correct on the benefits of reducing stigma, but that is something else altogether. You response doesn't seem to have anything to do with my statement. Celebrating success is not the same as celebrating mental illness. While discreet thresholds and states exist in mental illness, many exist on a spectrum. The real world consequences of some mental illness are influenced by the choices made by the person. Subcultures which celebrate mental illness often have the effect of enabling the worst forms of irresponsible mismanagement.
At this point more than enough data exists to show the population will not be decimated.

Denmark has a substantial safety net with generous parental leave policies. Accordingly, it would expected that one parent or relative could help out without impacting their own income and job security.
> We never expected China to be able to manage domestic risk well

Well, they have seemingly largely recovered and move their way back to normalcy, as other countries started catching fire.

I think a lot of people's takeways will be different than yours: China's ability to control crisis like this scale is going to be valuable assets to global investors.
Our kindergarten is currently preparing for just that. Which parents have other options of day care, who can have kids at home, who can take additional kids. I understood that to be something city wide. I have no problem having three instead of two kids at home, I working from home anyway, so if I have my own kids or an additional one doesn't make much of a difference for me. But it does for other parents.
Blaming young people seems stupid considering that everybody can spread the virus. This ageist nonsense isn't going to help stop the virus.
Currently the biggest issues with the borrow checker are valid codes that it marks as invalid (polonius might fix those when it arrives), and self referencial structures like those using in UI frameworks callbacks.

Only days ago, a Denmark university professor openly claimed ( actually more like lashed out ) at Hong Kong people /students over-reacting with CoronaVirus and there is no need to wear masks.

I guess that didn't age well. Still wish more people have trusted the advice from HK from our experiences with SARS and how to handle information from CCP.
They numbers are updated daily, and there was an update between when I posted, and when you made your comment.

The source I posted always points to the most current official numbers. You should read it, instead of arguing.

Why 20? Is this simply about reducing exposure to potential carriers?

Do you have a source or more details on this, because I fail to see what Airbus “freeway” or gravel road this could be referring to.
It's unclear to me from your comment whether you advocate over or under specifying the norm. "some distance" is ambiguous.

In order to say "that's against the rules" but allow some leeway, you need it to be under-specified so you can enforce it selectively.

But the next part suggest you over-set the norm, so people with honest reasons can go beyond the ideal without breaking the rules and everyone has an moral duty to stay well within the specified norms.
This is what lethal ignorance looks like.
It might, but if the measures are drastic enough people will start shooting. (Please don't construe that as an endorsement or advocacy; it's a comment on the complex socio-political mores in the USA.) Pick your poison.
I cannot see that happening in the U.S. without armed confrontations.

Like guns or not, that's the 2nd Amendment at work.
The Cochrane meta-analysis has arrived at opposite results to that debunking, based on 21 recent randomized studies. It's interesting how many comments in this thread are pointing to the older results as if they debunk the newer ones.

Quite a few people go to a sports match with tens of thousands of visitors every fortnight.
Not very many at all.

Several bars in Seattle have already announced they're shutting their doors and that's just because they've seen low business over the past few weeks.

Right now it's going to be businesses that were already struggling, but in a month it's going to be a LOT more places.
It is a war and calculation should be done in a different way.

1. Healthcare system is the TOP priority and keeps its resource adequate is critical.

2. If workers need to take care of their children, try to seek more ways to staff the hospital: (1) recruiting volunteers for non-specialized roles (2) adjusting shifts (3) concentrate resources, even move resources geographically.

Basically this is what China has done to bend the curve and what Italy is currently doing. You have to think this as a whole.
Totally - it's not a solution to everything. We can though do as much as possible making the UI intuitive, flexible and fast. Those gains are not just for business users but for everyone.

I paid something like $800 for one crutch when I sprained my ankle once. Think another $300 for ibuprofen. Now I know why there's a crutch market on craigslist/thrift stores. Not sure what my insurance paid for xrays, etc, but my tab was something like $1100 for that ER rendezvous. Thought I broke my leg.

I had a laparoscopic surgery a few years ago that was $35k.

It's easy to understand how Europeans look at Americans is if they're brain-dead. However, the article does nothing to support the thesis that young people in particular are killing other people.

It may be true. If so, including evidence to that effect would make a better article.

Somewhat related: does anyone know of any good components/libraries that can be embedded in a web page to let users interactively build SQL queries of reasonable complexity? By that I mean something that not only lets you pick columns and filter and maybe group things, but also do joins on other tables as well.

Edit: just to clarify, it doesn't have to be be visual only. In fact, something that lets you edit a query interactively either by visual components or actual SQL code is perfect, especially if it's bidirectional so that edits in the code also show in the UI and vice versa.
Granted, the title is gratuitous click bait but the message is on point and from someone on the front-lines in a country further along the curve than most others.
for the two weeks as of day one of the changes. What if the virus shows up on day 15, the day after things return to normal? Will they stay shutdown for another two weeks?
I think this is one of the greatest examples of "normalization of deviance" of all time.

When the cookie warning pop-in was introduced I'm sure that most people who care about web usability and accessibility were strongly opposed. They were silenced, however, because it is a regulatory requirement, they are going to put us out of business, etc.

A few years after the cookie warnings became universal, many web sites started getting pop-in(s) to tell people to sign up, sign in, pay money, see scam ads, whatever.

Had it not been for the eurocrats paving the way there might have been some resistance to the pop-ins. But the needs of users were ignored, normalizing deviance, so that there was no resistance against the second wave.

Of course there is no way to speak back to eurocrats, even if you are in Europe -- but they are so mad that they don't have a Google or a Facebook that they'll ensure that they never get one.
Any insights on the design decision to go with Wicked instead of systemd-networkd which is already provided by systemd and better integrated with the remaining systemd tooling/components/conventions?
0.2% is the mortality rate up to 19, not the risk of getting sick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019#Morta...). The disease can be serious even if it's not fatal, and children can easily spread the virus to their families. It's even possible for someone to become infected and spread the virus without showing any symptoms at all.
Ruby may be slower than other languages, but generally speaking your scalability issues will never be solved by rewriting in another language.

A rewrite may give you a temporary relief if the runtime of your new language is say 10% faster than your current one. This is not a long term solution though, and for many startups in hyper growth state, this will just give you a few more weeks of runway until you run into the next roadblock.

Your solution to scalability issues should almost always be system redesign, not component rewrite.

"How dare you not buy into the frenzy the media is stoking?"
The point is that young people are more likely to think "Oh this won't affect me, I'll continue as normal" because the severity and mortality of this illness is statistically higher for older people.

I don't see it as blaming young people, just pointing out that even if you aren't in the statistically "at risk" part of the age curve, you can still play a part in the spread and effects of this epidemic.
I think t is too far from 0 at this point, at least in the U.S. Our ability to test for SARS-CoV 2 has been completely kneecapped since the beginning, and there still aren't enough tests to screen people for the virus. There are documented cases in my area going back to 3 feb. But those cases were diagnosed outside of the country. As in, they had it while they were here, but they were not diagnosed until they flew back home and visited a doctor.
Fulton County, Georgia (Atlanta) shut down all schools after a teacher was diagnosed.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a form of psychotherapy obviously, so if the article is representing the Cochrane analysis accurately, it contradicts what you've repeatedly heard.

Edit: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/03/11/alcohol... specifically mentions CBT as one of the psychotherapies found to be less effective by this new meta-study. and the NYT article now linked at the top goes into this.
It's not about inertia. Look at which party benefits from the electoral college, and then recognize their attempts at voter disenfranchisement.
A study found an association between an increase in attendance to AA meetings with increased spirituality and a decrease in the frequency and intensity of alcohol use. The research also found that AA was effective at helping agnostics and atheists become sober. The authors concluded that though spirituality was an important mechanism of behavioral change for some alcoholics, it was not the only effective mechanism.[54] Since the mid-1970s, a number of 'agnostic' or 'no-prayer' AA groups have begun across the U.S., Canada, and other parts of the world, which hold meetings that adhere to a tradition allowing alcoholics to freely express their doubts or disbelief that spirituality will help their recovery, and these meetings forgo use of opening or closing prayers.[55][56] There are online resources listing AA meetings for atheists and agnostics.

That doesn’t seem to be the case.
Yeah I'm with you. Not only that but if there's any sort of self-isolation, people aren't going to be going to the shops to queue for a new console even if there are no disruptions to the supply chain.
Only number 3 is a potential benefit to the individual. The rest are for the community’s benefit. Remember we are on a site full of people with a rather “every man is an island” attitude...
I work adjacent to the industry and can clearly see what a rotten pile of crap it is - I'm also actually a US/Canadian border straddler, I emigrated from the US to come up here in fact.

Please don't take any of my statement above as any sort of excuse for the market's behavior, these companies hold profit over the well being of patients - otherwise they wouldn't be so willing to stick poor people with such high bills. But, it is a private market and what's happening is all that can be expected. Again, the US really needs to look at Medicare for All - partially just because it'd end up providing better care for less money. Canada's system isn't perfect, I supported the NDP in their push for national Dental and Pharma, and I'll continue to do so, but it's worlds better than the US.

It wouldn't be turing complete if you simply load the application into ROM and restrict the CPU from executing pages in RAM.

You can implement the entire relational model with about 8 operators and graph transformations, mostly distribution. You can add math functions as virtual tables, e.g. join against the times table to do multiplciation.

I wrote a paper on how this works, and while it was about ten years ago, I'm pretty sure you could do the algebraic transformations needed with just a stack, so I think you could do it with a finite state automata.

But see my response to myself.
This immediately reminded me of the joke about a tourist talking with an old Australian bushman. The original rambles on a bit, but the shorter version is the tourist asks if he knows any bushman remedies for chapped lips.

“What you do, mate,” replies the bushman, “Is lift up your horses tail, and kiss him straight on the bum.”

“And that fixes your chapped lips?!” exclaims the tourist.

“No,” replied the bushman, “But it stops you licking them.”
The peak of the pandemic is expected in Germany some time between June and August.
IMHO, you're mis-stating the problem. One should take an uber/friend to the hospital if the ailment is not time-sensitive or in need of ongoing treatment so that the ambulances are freed up for more critical patients. Ambulances should have some level of cost associated with them to dissuade using them for minor ailments. Should that level of cost be thousands and thousands of dollars? Probably not.
^^ Tradition 11. Tradition 12 states:

"Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities."

While it is easy to take the word anonymity at face value, in my opinion as an alcoholic active in AA, anonymity as it is mentioned here in tradition 12 deals more with ego and pride. When you walk into a meeting, you leave "what you are" at the door and walk in as "who you are." This translates into practices of not using honorifics. A judge isn't "Your Honor" at a meeting. A priest isn't "Father." All are equal, and all are just one drink away from being drunk. Thus, placing AA's principals before our own personalities.
He means the former, but it's actually the latter.

They make a good point in this article, I just wish Newsweek and other media outlets would get this pissed off about climate change. "Old and unafraid of the climate crisis? Good for you. Now stop killing future generations." If we're mobilizing to stop a pandemic, why the hell aren't we mobilizing to stop climate change?

I know this is going to get downvoted into oblivion, I just wanted to say it.
I believe by "stop the spread" people mean stop the exponential growth and make it linear or sublinear, as China and South Korea have done.
Everyone is possibly a transmitter. We are protecting the old and weak, not the young and healthy.
Gonna go out on a limb and assume you have good health insurance. Many (most?) Americans do not. I'm on an HDHP for example, so the first several thousand dollars in medical expenses per year come directly out of my pocket before insurance starts helping at all.
But Cochrane reviews are notoriously good. They're always spoken of as the standard in meta-analysis. What's interesting here is that new research is contradicting previous findings.

According to https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/upshot/alcoholics-anonymo..., the weak studies they weeded out were ones that had found against AA, not in favor of it.
On the other hand, the nature of "collapse" is the suddenness with which it takes place. There are all kinds of changes taking place right now, as a result of this crisis, that were previously dismissed as politically infeasible.

When the crisis is over there will definitely be some attempt to roll everything back to the "good old days", but not all of it will stick, and we'll have a different set of trends emerge - and trends in the political system may be among them. But maybe not the Electoral College. I don't see the federal system changing very quickly as a result of any current events.
