29 here

Entered the workforce right after 2007, in my 16, after moving to Singapore from small town Russia as an exchange student. Financial fortunes of my patents went nowhere, and I had to keep myself afloat for pretty much 2.5 years.

Made not so bad money selling low end electronics to the third world on Alibaba, and such.

Then, my parents made me dump all my money on the best things since sliced bread: "Business Education" in Canada. So I will "never ever be in need, and be making money like those big men from America"

Wasted 3 years of my life on that, it was useless.

And in 2014, they made me buy an apartment in my hometown under an immense pressure, and "or else" threats for me "not having a chance getting a wife, without one"

A month later, the Russian roubles folds, property prices collapse. And I just parted with $78k USD, having just a few months of savings left, while my job in Canada was burning.

Somehow, I recovered. 5 months later I got $29k back to Canada. Life was good again, I got my first Canadian girlfriend.

Then at the end of 2015, when I just began making big plans for my life again, my troubles began to mount again... It was found out that my last employer in Canada was for some reason unable to secure LMIA after applying for it for 3 times in a row.

I tried every option to extend my stay in the country, but the government was hellbent on reducing the amount of work permit holders, closing every legal workaround for extension. I spent tons of moneys on immigration lawyers, without avail.

I decided to cut my loss short, and leave in 2016.

Having to leave Canada after 6 years, leaving a lot of money there, and almost getting a family, was a bitter, bitter loss. I was enraged for month.

After leaving 10 years abroad, I was completely unable to fit in Russian society of the day, and got robbed just weeks after arriving.

After doing few remote gigs, and throwing tons of money left and right to sweeten my grief, I got to think of going to China, a country whose manufacturing Industry I owe most of the money I earned in my career.

Been working in China since 2016

Ironically, the most normal part of my life began in the least normal country of them all.

My last relationship was a beautiful 29 years old self made entrepreneur, and an owner of a chemical factory. I dated her for a while, but had to leave for a series of extended assignments abroad. After returning just 10 month later, I found her already engaged to somebody more enterprising than me :(

Again, fortunes cut short just few centimetres away from the finish line. This bittersweet life.

Now, when China is descending into mass madness again, I am risking to loose everything again.
The legislative process is not the only feedback system that is enshrined in the US constitution, else there would be no mention of public gatherings or protests. What you suggest is a false dichotomy.
They technically allow large bottles of contact solution in carry-on because it's a medical necessity (https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/...). I just keep it in my toiletries bag and they pull it out to run a quick test most of the time.

This seems a pretty big deal to me. Secretly or not , we all wait for that big breakthrough that will revolutionize everything. Maybe this is part of the whole: The mythical Theory of Everything.
That couldn't possibly help people in the next half year. An interesting change to the public transportation system is a tree one plants for the decade or two later.
Singapore is an interesting one. Their outbreak looks really benign, but actually they are on an exponential trajectory as well. The rate is just much lower, something like 7% daily. It doesn't register compared to the countries with fast growth, but if it stays like that, they will reach high numbers too. It translates to 10x per month.

See https://studylib.net/coronavirus-growth
An optimistic timeline is a vaccine will be available next year and I don’t think much of the market is looking that far ahead right now.
Korea is not using quarantine unless you have the infection or have been in contact with someone who does.

They also have had the best results of any country to date.
> This comment strikes me as pretty insensitive

Well, I didn't mean to. In fact, I'm advocating for the community at large. An individualistic "solution" ("if only I had a car, I would be able to [...]") is not the best solution for the problem at large. Everyone fending for themselves, driving their cars, is obviously not the answer, and in fact it might make things worse.

That you, and many others, are feeling pretty lonely and isolated is part of the reality of this outbreak. It's obviously going to be very hard for a lot of people. Many people's livelihoods are at stake here, regardless of the seriousness of COVID-19. Unfortunately this is going to have some big consequences regardless of individually owned cars.

update: it seems the city of SF has an advisory, and is mandating (among other things) against taking "unnecessary" trips in public transportation, car or motorbike: https://sf.gov/stay-home-except-essential-needs

Some excerpts:

"You cannot have dinner parties. You cannot invite friends over to your home to hang out.

[..]

You cannot take unnecessary trips on public transport or in your car or motorbike."

"Can I leave home to visit friends or family members if there is no urgent need?

No. For your safety as well as their safety, we need to help each other fight the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home."
My suspicion is that doing these restrictions for air and sea ports may be easier than for our land border. Also it seems like everything is on the table. Maybe more time is needed to ensure these exchange of goods and services aren't impacted by closing the land border.
Coronavirus and oil crash are huge catalysts. A vaccine won’t help much, as investors become risk-averse. When majority of investors become risk-averse, risk premium goes high, thereby reducing stock prices.

A month seems a bit optimistic. Even Trump himself was saying July or August. Note, he didn't specify the year.
That would be insane. You biggest trading partner being block and the only country you share a land border with will drag their economy to the ground. Banning fun-loving travel makes sense.

Banning the country that supplies most of your produce, electronics, cars, etc seems crazy just to prevent health care centers from being overrun. Cause thats really the issue. Everyone will get sick they just don't want people getting at once.
Longer term, nothing of the underlying fundamentals has changed. This is why the collapse is inevitable.

I think it's a pretty safe prior to have that our immune system will work effectively against this virus post exposure. This isn't the first time a virus has crossed the species barrier in all of our evolutionary history and we've survived so far.
If we shelter in place and the disease is not eradicated, won't it just come back?

It seems like we need to either eradicate it 100% or develop herd immunity by exposing as many people as possible.

There is clearly value in limiting the rate of infection, but that means the shelter in place is just a rate limit, and we are in for something much longer than just a few weeks.
Safari is way behind Chrome and Firefox on web features and has all kinds of proprietary rules on existing implementations.

It's not even required or the default install on any OS. And it has rapid updates that constantly test new features and improve performance and security.

Any "exclusive" features are just early testing for later standardization. It's Safari that's lagging in implementing them.
I'm familiar with the usual potential outcomes framework, and some of the high level machinery of Pearl's version too, but this 'type causality' vs 'actual causality' mentioned in the intro seems like a very unnecessary complication that just confuses things.

They use "smoking causes lung cancer" as an example of type causality. A counterpart in actual causality would be "Dave's smoking caused him to get lung cancer." Then they go on to talk about how these are such different kinds of causality.

They're no more different than "Dave has $35 in his pocket" and "the average american has $21 in their wallet."

Seems totally unnecessary. Am I missing something?
Buying when it is low is not as good as buying when it is lower. But it is still good. Buying today is much much better than buying a month ago. Or six months ago. Was it a bad idea to buy then?

The assumption is that mass mobilization is 1) effective and 2) necessary. We simply don't have enough data to know one way or another. Not saying self-isolating isn't prudent, but you can't really make reliable long term economic forecasts assuming any particular disease profile.

Full disclosure: I've been short term short the market for the last three weeks.
Many Microsoft APIs do that so that they can add members at the end of the struct in future versions.

Inside the implementation of the API they might say:

if (wndClass->cbSize == SIZE_IN_PREVIOUS_SDK_VERSION)
{
// Code to handle legacy structure goes here
}

If they add to the struct and don't make accesses to the new members conditional on cbSize's value, then it's a bad pointer dereference. The caller allocated it with the "old" size, likely on their stack, and some unrelated value might be located where the new members would be, or it could be a bad pointer.
Americans hate social welfare. A very reasonable recommendation of giving every adult household a fixed chunk of cash is being shot down because "But what about Bill gates!" -- There aren't that many rich people and also they pay plenty of taxes so... who cares if they get $1000 or whatever back from the government?
It's not as ridiculous as it sounds. $100k per US household would only cost ~$10 trillion, which seems to be within one order of magnitude of the $1.5 trillion we just dropped without batting an eye.
"Freedom of movement" in the constitutional sense refers to the ability to enter and leave the individual States as a citizen of the United States.

As for the shelter-in-place order, see:

California Health and Safety Code
Sec. 120130

(d) The health officer may require strict or modified isolation, or quarantine, for any case of contagious, infectious, or communicable disease, when this action is necessary for the protection of the public health.

California Health and Safety Code
Sec. 120295

Any person who violates Section 120130 or any section in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 120175, but excluding Section 120195), is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment for a term of not more than 90 days, or by both. He or she is guilty of a separate offense for each day that the violation continued.
Something to watch out for (in Canada and the US at least).

Many small stores use gift cards from their credit card processors. They pay for the physical cards in advance, and may not actually get the funds from purchases into their bank account until they are used. So buying a card now nets some money for their processor, but nothing for the store (when they need it).
A coffee machine's contribution to the economy is a fraction of one or two months of take-out coffee at a cafe/restaurant. If you factor in how much value is being generated in the US vs elsewhere (eg. China), the difference is even more pronounced.
Everyone just needs to shelter in place long enough for testing capacity to improve. Early detection is key, but without that, we have to slow the spread.
Thank you for stepping in Edwin, much appreciated!
> That is illogical.

It's illogical because of poor wording on my part that didn't really match what I wanted to say, yes. Sorry about that. As you noted, a better phrasing might be "Optimizations based on ignoring executions that result in undefined behavior is also a form of ignoring the situation". Hopefully that better captures my intent.

> Also, you're neglecting to provide a plausible hypothesis as to why "permissible" had to be changed to "possible", if it makes no difference in meaning.

I didn't intend to explain that change in wording because in my opinion it doesn't make a difference as long as the "ignoring the situation" clause remains.

> that's what it means to "ignore the situation completely": just compile the code, and let whatever happen in the translation.

That's one interpretation. The other is to ignore the code that invokes undefined behavior and optimize as if it was not there.

> Removing something from consideration after evaluating it is not compatible with the wording "ignore completely".

I'm not sure I would necessarily agree that "completely" would preclude evaluating the situation at all, but my command of English is lacking.

I think it actually wouldn't matter; given some code that may or may not exhibit UB, there are arguably two ways to end up with only one case to consider:

1. Ignore the code that exhibits UB

2. Ignore the UB and treat the code as conforming

Evaluation of the options will have to take place either way, whether it is at compiler run time, compiler design/write time, both, or something else.
Many currencies have been propped up and artificially kept competitive via QE as the new tool to augment interest rates as having driven them so low, they had to use something else. The next tool in the box is negative interest rates.

Kinda all leads into a perfect storm, and now have whole generations having grown up with no saving mentality and a have today, pay tomorrow expectation that if things ever go back to normal, real interest rates that encourage responsible spending instead of artificially stimulating an economy. Well, it will be a huge education for many and as always, the people end up paying for it.
> If you're building a substantial app then the fact that Electron apps require more memory is usually not a problem.

Gonna need a citation on that. Every tab of Gmail I have open takes up more RAM than my fully-featured Outlook desktop app that's pushing an order of magnitude more items through Exchange.

Slack, Discord, and Teams are loads more heavyweight than all the fanciest (non-Electron) IRC clients. Or look at Telegram: wicked fast native client that's barely using more than 100 MBs on my box with 20 some odd group chats all pushing instant multimedia notifications every couple mins.

Not to mention all the Electron counterparts are just slower. I actually don't know what black magic Microsoft did to make VS Code so snappy (it's way more responsive than all those chat apps I listed above), but it's also still noticeably laggier than Sublime and true Vim.
Service-based professionals who live paycheck by paycheck are screwed. What can the government do to get aid to these individuals ASAP?
People will still get sick with shelter-in-place, since they need to go to grocery stores and such. This means part of the population has immunity next time.

We also may have better treatment options in the not-so-distant future, making everybody better prepared for a future spread.
Exactly.

The people that got in in 2008 made out like bandits. The people that wait until 2010 or later missed out on a lot of the gains.

I think it goes without saying that emergency services are an exception. There's no need to take my argument to the absurd. I'm assuming the OP meant he was a regular worker (not an emergency or law enforcement worker). In any case, don't emergency services provide transportation for their employees?

> Not everyone has 24-hour public transportation available.

I don't think public transportation is the safest choice at this moment either. In fact, everyone should avoid it if at all possible (in some cases and parts of the world, it's not possible at the moment).
Does anyone know how this works with other utils that use SSH protocol, like rsync? What about tunneling other services to or from a local host? I'd love to have fewer hosts to maintain and a smaller network/attack surface, but we use SSH for more than just gaining commandline access to our instances.
Nothing really, that's why it's important to have healthy regulations and safety nets before shit hits the fan.

Often, small tweaks are overlooked or outright dismissed out of hand because people think it's not enough and insist it won't make a difference.

But the 80/20 rule tends to apply. If you do whatever small and easy things are immediately possible, you get 80 percent of the way there and it frees up resources and extends the runway so that last hard 20 percent can be resolved or at least better tolerated.

Prices is the answer. That's why you are failing to grasp the situation. If you can buy a house for 100 in boom times but 50 in panic times, it's often better to get it for 50.

Same asset, lower price = less risk. The only thing which is up for debate during a panic is "is it the same asset now? How similar?"
