There's a huge difference between looking good with small numbers because you haven't done testing like in much of Europe or NA vs looking good because you've blanketed the country in tests and are seeing recoveries outstrip infections.
This is really interesting. Do you have any source to back up what you wrote or is it just your opinion?

From what I read giving up our meat heavy diet is going to be necessary to reduce GHG emissions. And not only that - the heavy animal agriculture industry also contributes to biodiversity loss and pollution.

This researcher[1] from the Oxford University conducted a 5 year study to understand the impact our current food choices have on the environment. He gave up meat & dairy as the conclusion of the study was that adopting a more plant based diet is the single best thing an individual can do to reduce their own carbon footprint.

The UN released a similar report and recommended the same - to heavily reduce or give up meat completely.

And then there is the water usage required for animal agriculture [2].

This misses the fundamental point being discussed.

Having the right to modify and repair does not mean a carte blanche to ignore and circumvent building and electrical regulations. You do have the right to remove, replace or add additional outlets providing that the regulations are complied with, and you can purchase outlets from any vendor which sells products compliant with the regulations.

Availability of first-party and third-party parts would greatly open up the market for electronic goods of all kinds. So long as they comply with the necessary regulations and perform equivalently to the original parts, it would be a vast improvement upon the current state of affairs.

Polynomial doesn't mean practical. In practice, O(n^100) is not an improvement over O(2^n).

Also, we could imagine an algorithm that takes O(2^n) operation to verify and O(100^n) to find a solution. Both are exponential time (not NP), but the difference ensures that you can make it both safe and fast enough for use. I don't know if we could build such an algorithm if we had constructive P=NP though.

That's a bit alarmist. Based on the numbers from Wuhan, where the disease has progressed furthest and the numbers are most clear, it's about 5 times worse than a seasonal flu.

According to the Johns Hopkins doctor recently interviewed by Sam Harris (sorry, couldn’t find the name) the South Korean number is likely the more accurate one due to a higher prevalence of testing. The higher rates from other countries are essentially a denominator problem (I.e., with limited tests only the most sick are tested, leaving the only moderately sick untested and thus out of the calculation)

No, every cold I have ever had involved nasal congestion and runny nose. There was none for me. At the time, I remember thinking that it was unlike anything I had experienced before, which later led me to conclude it was Covid-19.

I don't even want to count how many nightmares distributed tracing has saved me from.
For some reason car drivers always think that bus service needs to be reduced (fewer stops) in order to provide "better" bus service.

The studies show that decreasing stops has minimal effect on transit times. Two stops with ten people each only takes a bit longer to board than one stop with twenty people. You save a couple of minutes across the entire length of a bus route.

And each stop removal increases rider commute times - now I have to walk 5 minutes longer to get a bus that's 2 minutes faster. Overall commute: 3 minutes longer. Plus each stop removal decreases the number of people served - if the old stop was a ten minute walk and the new one is a fifteen minute walk, you'll just stop taking transit altogether.

So in general, stop removal is not at all a panacea and is often a 100% negative to transit riders.

What actually works: getting rid of ride-hailing and other things that tend to clog the streets with empty, dead-heading vehicles; dedicated bus lanes and general banning of single-passenger automobiles; congestion charges; making sure transit is frequent and inexpensive so that it works well for people; etc.

Of course it makes sense for scientists to worry about and prepare for that scenario, but in this particular case scientists have already rejected that this is a recombination event.

If you look at the last link I posted, the Harvard epidemiologist points out that the mutation rate suggests the 2019-nCoV came from just one recent source in single jump (as opposed to several mutation sources)

Combine this with the fact that: the new coronavirus provides a new lineage for almost half of its genome, with no close genetic relationships to other viruses within the subgenus of sarbecovirus

It paints a picture that this did not come from nature.

To me occam's razor is leaning the opposite direction, as a scenario to create something like this in the wild doesn't seem plausible.

I would love for this to be proven false, and encourage any counterpoints addressing why human error should be ruled out.

Good points, though it's funny: In my day job I only ever fish through logs (not by ssh -- I don't have that much access to the systems).

But that's only because by the time it gets to me multiple levels of people (who really know what they are doing, BTW, so it doesn't happen often) have done everything else.
I'm also curious about the old-wives tale, you are not claiming it's a scientific fact and if it worked for you, it might work for others.

Your tone is really weird. No conspiracy is required in the case of a single company setting prices on its patented medical discoveries.

Since you're so critical of conspiracies, though, I'd (genuinely) love your take on something that does require a conspiracy:

).

Without a conspiracy, what keeps any drug company from selling cheap generic insulin in the United States?

The reason I ask is that I really don't think so many companies can cooperate on price-fixing so I am looking for any other alternative explanation besides an illegal price-fixing conspiracy which I think would be very difficult to pull off among so many players and laws making it illegal.

But the comment you replied to isn't like that and doesn't require a conspiracy.

Ask HN: Why I cannot find public data on coronavirus single cases?
I would expect to find in the internet data about coronavirus single cases: not just the basics (age, blood type, weight, city, ...) but more and much more data, allowing scientists, statisticians or whoever to make inference: maybe as easy as spotting correlation, or much better as principal component analysis/discriminant analysis.

I would expect a web interface, where selected personnel are allowed to enter and share data with the rest of the world (I’m an internationalist)

Tell me that I am just not aware that these databases exists!

(I imagine several nations do provide opendata with the basic, but I do really mean detailed data, collected with some uniform worldwide standard)

I do mountain biking and lots of hiking. For years I used an Osprey bag which was super light and had lots of features. Problems was that it was hard to clean, the fabric/zips were not strong enough and it was difficult to load.

Now I just use a backpack designed for a laptop. The material is easy to wipe clean. It is rectangular which makes it far easier to load stuff than the weird semi-cylinder shape. The material is string and the zips are much more meaty. And the flat rectangular back is very comfortable for me.
"it's important that we do not forget how this crisis started and who was responsible for it. Otherwise, how will we learn to avoid the next one?"

And again you've completely ignored the fact that the rest of the world was happily ignoring all dangers and kept borders opened for goods and people without any testing.

> this article touches on maybe 1/10 of the usecases of logging...and than pretends that the opinion is applicable everywhere.

It's definitely a weird article.

I maintain an open source tool called dbcrossbar that automates data transfer between several kinds of databases. It uses multiple async streams to copy data, and it has a "backpressure" system that keeps every step of the transfer in sync. Usually it's very reliable, but if it goes wrong, then I need debugging tools.

We use the "slog" library for structured logging. This allows us to add extensive structured data to our logs, and to keep track of what's coming from where. We can increase or decrease the log level for each component individually.

And these logs are invaluable for debugging. Like, almost every time we have any problem at all, we all sit around saying, "Wow, we're so glad we have such good logging."
Doctors tend to be reluctant to extrapolate strong conclusions from relatively close R0 values like those presented because of the number of confounding factors. It’s really most valuable when looking at orders of magnitude difference (e.g., measles with an R0 of around 15 compared to seasonal flu with an R0 of around 1-3).

I didn’t see in that study much consideration of other variables and the p-value used for relative humidity was on the high side by publication standards (up to 10%)
> Regular flu has a .01 death rate, Covid is at .08 right now in Korea and like 4% in Italy.

Dude. You can’t mix units like that. The flu has a 0.095% death rate, S. Korea’s current Covid-19 death rate is 0.7%, and Italy’s rate is around 5%.

You made both the flu and South Korea’s situation out to be ten times worse than they were.
I kinda agree and disagree with article's author. You see, do log, but do so in a compiler switch so that your production code has no logging in final form and is easy to generate.

Get 2 variants, one with logging and debugging and whatnot, which is used for alpha, beta, gamma / whatever version and the clean one that you release officially.

And yes, I'm aware that sometime a bug will creep only in the release version while in the debug version will not happen. What can I say, those are where your experience really is showing, so you can understand the root of the problem.

> I either want a quick notification about some critical error with everything inside, or I want nothing: a peaceful morning with tea and youtube videos. There’s nothing in between for logging.

Until you do. Then, instead of having access to it, you need to hope you can recreate it.

Meanwhile you can filter your logging such that the critical stuff still comes to you and the other stuff is sent into the ether and eventually GC'd
I've also had no problems with Hangouts Meet, but then again I work at Google so it's hard to say how much of that would apply to other companies.

Very interesting story as well, thank you.
Old wives tales can often be helpful. At the very least, they will probably be good at soothing symptoms.

The key is to (a) avoid stuff that could be dangerous (eating exotic stuff that may be potentially poisonous), (b) don’t use it as a replacement for actual proven treatments and what your doctor recommends.

The old wives tales I occasionally follow are stuff like having a ginger turmeric tea, something that would probably sell for $7/cup if a coffee shop put it on their menu.

Clickbait title. The conclusion is:

This is happening on the individual level too. The panic buying of items like toilet roll + pasta in places the virus hasn't even taken hold yet is a stark reminder of how utterly selfish some people can be. Sadly the people that will end up with difficulties are the less selfish people who now can't get essential items even when there is zero need for them to be scarce.

Edit: As an example: I would like one bottle of hand sanitiser. That should last quite a while (nobody needs boxes and boxes of the stuff) and it would be very useful. I cannot buy it anywhere either IRL or online. As a last resort I just checked eBay. I found a 500ml approx bottle of Purrell for £17. Insane but given it would be very useful to have I almost bought it. Then I noticed the postage price was £100. The crazy part is that this person has sold quite a few of these according to eBay. You can claim this is the free market and supply/demand etc.etc. all you want but that doesn't make it ok. It's still incredibly selfish behaviour.

Edit 2: Any explanation for the downvotes? I almost self-censored my comment on the free market as I thought it might lead to downvotes - decided to go ahead with it anyway. If you disagree with anything I've said starting a discussion is much more productive than hiding something you don't like.
It’s worth noting Italy’s much higher death rate is because the hospitals are full, and this is likely to happen in other countries soon. The proportion of Covid-19 patients that require intubation is much higher than that of flu.

Several other European countries and the US are on roughly the same infection rate trajectory as Italy, just a few weeks behind. Unless they significantly slow it down, it seems likely their health systems will be overwhelmed too, and their death rates could start looking more like Italy’s.
