I think the parent is referring to when China officially, publicly admitted the problem, which was three weeks after it notified the WHO.

Taiwan implemented more stringent inspection requirements for people arriving from the Wuhan area as soon as China notified WHO, on 31 Dec 2019.
I think it definitely helps that Gillian Anderson actually looks like Jodie Foster. I kid you not, I for some years thought they were the one and same!
I think the lengths is only one possible solution. The other broken part is that the inventor has one idea they want to spread the knowledge of, but their patent attorney makes it overly broad and unrecognizable. Nobody even knows what the patent is about, sparing one “embodiment” described but not even part of the important “claims”. This is a rational reaction to the only way to make royalties on a patent because everyone would prefer to circumvent them instead of utilize them. Very broken incentive model.
One thing I heard, which may or not be true as I have not heard the Big media stations talking about it.

There are atleast two strains of Wuhan fever, "Type S" and "Type L".

Aperantly South Korea had the milder of these and the care home in the Seattle area had the deadlier one.

Like I said that is what I heard but maybe it's not true, or maybe thats something your missing, or something that being covered up by the media for some reason, that we are all missing.

I'm not sure I follow this analogy. I'm also not sure it's a very reasonable analogy in the first place. Seems a bit non sequitur.
Disclaimer: these are my own opinions, I am not going to link for supporting evidence. I am just shooting off the cuff and I have no real expertise in the matter:

1. from most reports this is spreading much faster than other diseases, such as the flu. Because of this it has a higher chance to overwhelm a countries healthcare services. Once that happens, mortality will spike.

2. it has a higher mortality rate, especially for elderly.

And most importantly:

3. it is still new and it is harder to predict the outcomes and people are scared of the unknown.

What you also have to keep in mind, the reaction isn't about the deaths that have already occurred. It is about trying to slow the exponential progression so that the demand for medical services are spread out over a longer time period, thus avoiding the overwhelming of our medical services.
To me the most likely explanation is the exchanges pushed the price down to make a killing off leveraged longs.

The large majority of the liquidity was on longs today.
Taiwan started acting on 31st Dec. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762689

Taiwan has had a spectacular response to the virus - that is the gold standard that Italy (or Korea) should be compared against.
I've worked professionally using something like 20 different programming languages. Heck, I use 4 or so in my current job. Productivity as a programmer is rarely influenced much by programming language, as long as the programmer is proficient in that language, IMHO. I've never actually used Python professionally, but I've programmed for years in Ruby and Javascript as well as C#, C++, etc, etc. The vast majority of complexity in a code base is added by the programmer themselves and that complexity has less to do with programming language issues than it does with design (or lack thereof). Even on small projects, the ability to do something quickly is almost completely due to having a reuse library that gets you most of the way there coupled with the knowledge of how to use that reuse library. Experts in particular ecosystems can often bang out code at frightening speed. Similarly, complete horrible messes can easily be written in any programming language.

Rust helps you deal with certain classes of problems. It forces you to write code in a certain way and think in a certain way. Especially if you are using the standard library, you have less flexibility on how you can write your code if you don't want to write a complete mess. In many ways this is an advantage -- especially if you are very experienced with the ecosystem. Programming languages like Python or Ruby and especially JS (which has a terrible standard library) offer more flexibility. However, it comes at the cost that it's easy to get yourself into trouble.

In the end, these things usually come out in the wash. Programming is programming. Some people are always going to like doing things one way or another. I actually love writing code in JS because I find it a very expressive language (and my code looks nothing like most people would expect JS code to look like). In some ways, Rust is like programming in a straight jacket, but it's a comfortable straight jacket :-). I like the shape of code that Rust encourages me to write. As I get more proficient in the language (not so proficient yet), I find that I think less and less about how to do things and more and more about what I want to do -- like any language, really.

The main downside of Rust is that it is huge and opinionated. It takes a long time to learn how to use it well and it really wants to push you towards certain types of solutions. Learning all of these things is challenging.

TL;DR: Yes, you can definitely be as productive in Rust as in Python. And vice versa. Modulus the fact that you will be running into different problems with each.

It's also easier to leave Italy and spread the disease because it doesn't have a DMZ in the North and lots of migrant workers and other EU nationals, free to leave at any time. Some have fled the lockdown using ferries through Croatia or Greece and then on to their home countries. When the North was quarantined, many Italians irresponsibly fled to the South, prompting the authorities to issue a country wide lockdown. Good luck trying to escape by ferry from Korea to Japan, Russia or China in the middle of a pandemic. North Korea is out of the question. Also Koreans are likely to obey the rules imposed during a healty emergency crisis (they also has a MERS epidemic in 2015), while Italians are more likely dismiss them as nonsense.

The Gillian Anderson replacement looks good to me in a sense, namely that it doesn't look manipulated. It looks different from Jodie Foster but if I'd not seen the movie before I wouldn't suspect the footage of being tampered.

But on the other hand, it really doesn't look like Gillian Anderson either. If I didn't already know it was meant to be Gillian Anderson, I don't think I'd be able to guess it was. To me, it looks like somebody other than Jodie Foster or Gillian Anderson.

Edison also spent much of his career in court being sued, suing, and being hired as an expert witness in patent suits. Much of his contracts were from companies trying to get around patents.

To be fair, much of his income came from exploiting patents.
At least in the US it is relatively uncommon to live with extended family like grandparents. If the children are already infected, then yes, a change in proximity to grandparents would increase the risk of transmission. If schools are closed before many children become carriers, then no, simply having grandparents near kids probably doesn't change much for the grandparents' risk.
I posted this link, but I have the same reservations you do. Tyler Cowen was discussing this on his blog.
Still no vaccine for SARS 18 years later, what makes you think we'll have a vaccine for this?

I agree. I would even dare to say that losing an entire year of K-12 is not catastrophic. Beneficial, even.

There's no need to go insane coming up with educational plans for the duration of the crisis.
As a home buyer you aren't making the choice between a diversified set of assets without leverage and one highly leveraged asset. You're spending money for another month of shelter while making the decision to keep it when you've paid for it long enough.

A lot of people would love to pump their savings into a diverse portfolio with little debt. Unfortunately we still have to pay rent. Personally if I do the math on it, putting savings into equities to save up for a 20% down payment on a mortgage is by far the most sound plan I can have because it optimizes my returns for my income.

And even without talking about returns, in terms of utility I don't want to raise a family in my expensive and tiny apartment - basically I don't want to save up so I can buy a nice house when I retire, I want to buy a nice house to build my life in then sell it when I retire. You've got the incentives completely flipped in my opinion.
I suspect that as far as analogies go, this is a pretty tame one for a typical wartime CEO.

I would say zero to 1 is not wartime though. I hope no one is suggesting this.

Wartime is more about your company is rapidly coming apart at the seams and growth rates are going down rather than up.

If you've ever been in such a company you'd probably get why the brutal analogy being made.

Diving in doesn’t mean diving in blind. I feel like I’m in this camp on many things. I build a plan, anticipate and adjust the plan when needed, and I also have an internal barometer for how difficult that roadblock is going to be to overcome and whether it’s feasible (time/money/skill). I think the difference is; I generally do this in scale of minutes on a post it, sheet of paper, whiteboard; and I get to work. The other camp, from my observation, wants to build process maps and workflows and then start breaking the project down into a million sub tasks, probably seek external feedback on their plan, etc. I’ll have functional progress before they even roll up their sleeves.

There’s certainly a time and place for both approaches and people have their work ‘style’ preferences. This is also a big part of why most productivity software, todos, checklists is generally not for me. I lose too much productivity just by using the tool.

Edit. I should add context. I don’t work as a dev. I’m in Corp finance. This worked for me as individual contributor, mid manager and now in a leadership role. As IC it was how I worked as manager it’s how I delegate as leader it’s how I motivate my team. Again, I’ve had to take the other style at times. It’s not natural for me. Feels like a waste of time in effort not to waste time. I see the benefit of it at times. And I’ve been impressed by some people’s experience in doing it that way. (Eg. a relatively quick successful ERP implementation at a large company is a marvelous thing to witness).
No, I was focusing (or fixating if you prefer the derogatory) on the specific claim that fearlessness inevitably dissolves roadblocks. That's all. I have no opinion whatsoever on (nor interest in) general routes to 'success' (however scanned), as I thought I had made plain. Would repetition help - should I type it a few times more?
Ummm...I don't think so. The Marin Chrunchy-Moms, who are falling over from the measles, and will not get their kids vaccinated, are sure to have a high mortality rate. And they certainly do support climate change mitigation.

It's amazing how it takes an hour to go anywhere in a city 7 miles x 7 miles. I guess transit's pretty good for going between the Mission and SoMa/FiDi.
I was referring to your dismissal of Marx's thought on the basis of reading a post-Marxist work, Empire twice and not making any sense of it[0]. You reach a similarly rash conclusion: that "Marxism is intellecutally worthless" - something, I'm sure, many philosophers, heterodox economists, political economists, and sociologists would pick you up on. Even Samuelson had more to say about Marx than to call him intellectually worthless - a "minor post-Ricardian" (and despite that fact engaging in a debate with Marxian economists in very public publications).

I supposed that if a vague criticism of Hardt and Negri is your justification for dismissing the school of thought they draw from (in, it should be mentioned, very controversial ways), you must not be able to say much about what most experts think of when they hear "Marxism": Capital, V.I. Lenin, Dobb/Meek/Sweezy, Postone, etc. Put it this way: every philosopher who has seriously engaged with Marx critically has not had the hubris to call Marxism "intellectually worthless" - flawed, logically inconsistent, immoral, convoluted, unnecessary, whatever, sure - but not worthless as a result of "sheer obscurity and bullshitting". The only part of Marx that has been called needlessly obscure (aside from misguided remarks by Pareto) is the Wertform - and Marxists themselves criticize that heavily. Some Marxists (Rational Choice Marxists) would even agree with you, and still hold Marx to be highly relevant and fruitful. Empire seems cherry-picked at best, and a dishonest representative of late 20th c. and 21st c. Marxian literature at worst. If it's all you've read from Marxists, then my apologies - but criticize Hardt and Negri, not the discipline as a whole, which has worked for the past century to create a great many introductory materials, lecture series, video series, companion guides and more.

Yes, in fact they are.

Specifically, younger people are sometimes being told to avoid older people, sometimes when the older person is in need.

IIRC, some place had bans/restrictions on visiting nursing homes because the potential for spreading the virus might end up exposing a large percentage of the occupants to a significant chance of death.

Yes. For not yet understood reasons, children do not seem to develop symptoms from covid19, but they can still be carriers. Combined with the fact that schools are essentially giant petri-dishes for disease, and old people are particuarly vulnerable to covid19, means that sending a child to grandma is essentially playing Russian roulette with her life.

I would go so far as to suggest that if she can take care of herself, grandma should self quarantine as much as possible for the duration of the crisis. People do not become less dangerous just because they are relatives.

After the family spent 2 weeks in self quarantine, visiting grandma is probably fine.
That's sounds a lot like "we're not giving them money to help, but if they can pull a solution out of their asses we'd appreciate it"
Pretty remarkable. Never the less...

Faces convey the emotional content well but I think that in case of Dr. Lecter there is something missing. Maybe the look is not as intensively gleeful or something...

The second strangeness is the background handling. The deep fakes are not handling the background near the face faces well. Maybe the different shape of faces forces the algorithm to generate the background and it's obviously not doing that part well. It gives sometimes the face the feel that is has been plastered on top of an image.
After noticing that the growing number of people at my day job seemed to be using our internal jargon differently, I decided to write a team glossary using confluence. The experience left me wanting. No crosslinking of terms, no enforcement of structure/format. Ugly/outdated styling.

I thought there had to be a better way, but I couldn't find one so I built Jargonaut. It helps you build a nice, crosslinked list of terms/definitions, and provides simple slack integrations to allow you to pull in a definition into slack.

I have lots of ideas to add more value, but I want to get a feeling from others on whether you would use such a specialized tool instead of your bog standard wiki. Would you consider parting with money for it for your team?

An exceptional condition is arguably anything that means some call in your program can't do its job.

Passing error conditions up the call stack to the control layer that displays and/or logs a relevant message is a pain.

Exceptions make it less painful.

Catch blocks should be used sparingly, sure. If you're using them close to where the error is thrown then maybe you should consider an error code-oriented approach. But catch blocks in controller code (or better yet, meta-controller code)? Sure.
Also more humid!

For reference, the proposal: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching

Rust’s pattern matching is deliberately fairly limited in what it can do; it’s all about destructuring types, not running arbitrary code like Perl’s smart-match (which even so I would not describe as a disaster). It’s conceptually very clean—arguably simpler than what ECMAScript already has. `let PATTERN = EXPRESSION;`, `if let PATTERN { … }`, `match EXPRESSION { PATTERN => … }`, `fn NAME(PATTERN: TYPE)`, &c., everything that can introduce a new binding is a pattern. Some of the uses of patterns are refutable (match branches, `if let`, `while let`), and some irrefutable (`let`, `for`, function arguments, closure arguments).

ECMAScript already has destructuring in various places, corresponding to irrefutable pattern matching; what the proposal’s `case` expression introduces is essentially just refutable destructuring, plus a smidgeon of expression-orientation (`->` corresponding to `=>`, that `case` is an expression that yields a value, rather than a statement) in a place that sorely needs it. This is a very logical extension of the language.

If TC39 or equivalent were to design a new language to actively replace JavaScript (meaning something that all extant JavaScript code should be able to migrate to easily, preferably automatedly), there is no doubt in my mind that the language would be more expression-oriented than ECMAScript is, that destructuring syntax would be brought in line with what we call pattern matching so that there was one coherent concept underneath (probably called pattern matching), and that `switch` would use it, becoming equivalent to this proposal.

The way people use JavaScript these days, these things are useful.

(I write all this as an expert and heavy user of both Rust and JavaScript; I use JavaScript more, most of the time, but prefer Rust. Rust was the first language I learned with each of algebraic data types, pattern matching and expression orientation.)
This is incredibly impressive. For a while I've wondered when it will be possible to "fork" movies and create different endings/scenes. I know that is a long way from this technology, but this kind of things gives me hope that will eventually be possible.

I'm surprised to see the pessimism here. For a family of 5 AirBnB is far better than hotels. I'd much rather get a whole house than cram everyone into a single hotel room. And I can't remember the last time I had a bad experience. Maybe the "whole house, multi-bedroom" segment is different from the typical AirBnB experience?
The hope is that the kids aren't already infected, that seems like a very rare case. Sure it can happen, but they aren't yet recommending you don't even see family.

Many grandparents in the US live nearby and see their grandkids often and often look after them with some regularity. That seems to be the sort of scenario where they'd be employed to watch them while they are in learning from home situations, no? I don't think we are talking about frail people in nursing homes.
