These can be fascinating. If you tune in at the right times on some American receivers, you can hear the truckers communicate via shortwave. They chat on a few different channels from hundreds of miles apart. It's like typical office chatter, but when they say they're locations it'll be a driver in Louisiana chatting with a driver in Ohio.

Then you can find the number stations (using http://priyom.org/ to find their schedules), screaming fundamentalist preachers, pirate music stations, ham radio (conversations can get very weird), cults, etc.

It's a whole different world, and it's especially fun to browse through at 2 or 3 in the morning.

I agreed that people did not understand exponential growth, but I pointed out that "but it does not take a genius to actually understand the concept, especially if it is explained as right now you will get this many people per day, in a week you will get this many, in a month this many."

So if you explain to the politician, once you start getting cases in your country and give them the actual growth rates, and what slowing down the growth rates will mean, with nifty charts and so forth.

Like maybe they should do in the movie Outbreak where they have display of the red spreading across the country on its way to the White House, with a timeline animated below it, then the politician will understand the situation without intuitively understanding exponential growth.

I suppose reasonably competent data visualizers who have ever had to explain complicated things to non-technical people in an important meeting would know how to represent the concept in their particular domain without much problems.

My layman's understanding is that ventilation is a fairly complex art/science, and that modern ventilators have multiple modes that are effectively different control laws.

I think that the pressure required to fill a patient's lungs is quite different in a COVID patient than a normal patient, because the disease has caused huge flow restriction in the lungs. I think that generally you want to control flow rate, because you need to get a particular respiration rate, and the lungs can hold a certain amount of air. You then use whatever pressure gets that respiration rate.

If the pressure or flow rate is too high, I think that that can cause lung damage, so one option is to increase the oxygen concentration in the air you're delivering. My understanding is that the downside is that although this will lead to more oxygenation, it doesn't help any with removing CO2. If you reach this limit, the only option is then ECMO.

Your figures are wrong by several orders of magnitude. In the 18-49 age group, the seasonal flu fatality rate is around 0.0018%.[1] 0.2% is already uncomfortable odds: 1 in 500. And that figure assumes proper hospital care as others have also replied. It's much higher if the healthcare system is flooded.

1. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html

(The mortality rate figures given are per 100,000 population, so 1.8 / 1000 yields the percentage for that age group.)
Wholeheartly agree. Other side not prepared problem is so true. Having less respect for other's time and office work, is one of the reason. What I observed is in case of WFH, it is very necessary to mandate office-timings else people just misuse WFH uncounsiously.

> saying retrospectively "you should've known better" is just childish

European governments were not the first to have to deal with the epidemic (China), nor among the first few (Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore etc.). They were fully aware of what happened in Wuhan without early action. They literally just had to follow what Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea etc were all doing. Those countries had less information and less time to act, and yet they're riding this much better than much of Europe.

So why _shouldn't_ European governments have known better?

This is not going to be over in April or May, except maybe in the worst case scenario. The point of social distancing etc is flattening the curve and spreading the load on healthcare systems over a longer time.

The only thing that might help there is if warmer weather reduces the spread. But then it could very well come back in the fall.

China was certainly not an example of the first. They tried to cover up its existence in the beginning! The best examples are Japan and Singapore.

You can occasionally hear truckers with ham radio licenses, too. :-)

If you're in the US there's a reasonable chance of finding the Cuban numbers station on any given day. I pick it up from my back yard in CA all the time. In fact, a bit more elusive and exciting to me are some of the trickier stations like Radio New Zealand or NHK. Even North Korea is in many cases an easier pull than those...

By the way, anybody interested in an easy and inexpensive on-ramp to listening from your own radio, check out the Radiwow R-108 and XHDATA D-328. These are less fiddly than SDRs, which can be a nice advantage for learning or portability. The Eton Elite Mini is another one that's been really surprisingly good in a small package.

Is anybody else not getting paid “because Covid”?
In the last few days I’ve had two clients, large American firms, say that they are suspending all payments due to covid. One had the excuse that they couldn’t pay because their accounts team can’t remotely access their systems used for contractor payments, and hoped to resume payments in April. The other simply said they were suspending all payments until covid is over. These are both $100M+ businesses.

This has me scratching my head, as the banks sure as hell expect me to pay my mortgages on time. No mortgage holiday available without a steep penalty and re-evaluation of interest rate after the holiday... I have savings, but they won’t last forever with zero income.

Anyone else in the same boat? Is this even legal for firms to do?

I have standard force majeure clauses in my contracts - but they allow early termination in a pandemic, not not paying.
I suspect that the internals of stars, somewhere in the photosphere, can contain rather complex structures, due to the very high pressure and electric / magnetic fields. Those could even be a self-sustained "life" in the sense the Conway's game, or maybe even more complex.

Your parent wasn’t advocating for forced infection. It’s my understanding that pox parties were a fairly common way to manage the spread of chicken pox.

If you take some extreme assumptions; everyone will catch this, and you can infect in a totally controlled way where only the ones you wanted to infect were infected, you could definitely argue that controlled infection was the best course of action.

Just as carbon ash from the fireplace has the same chemical makeup as a diamond, there's a bit more to it: namely the changing structure of the stuff itself.

Conventional IR countermeasures (spatial, spectral etc.) really are becoming a thing of the past.

When you’re talking about terminal IR guidance on any modern missile, generally the IRCCM will be so good that the probability of defeat with a flare cocktail is below an acceptable risk threshold. DIRCM is the current answer to this problem and—to tie this in with the parent comment—renders terminal IR guidance much less effective than MMW or other RF guidance.

> There is nothing new under the sun.

That may be true. But this isn’t a great example of it. This is pretty much the most naive (not in a bad way) evolution of password management possible:

Q: I need passwords for all my accounts. What should I do?

A: Use the same master password everywhere.

Q: But if one service has a leak all my accounts are compromised

A: Then just combine the password with the url. Like password|url.

Q: Well that helps against automated approaches, but a human could pretty quickly deduce all my passwords.

A: Hash it.

Q: Cool. Now what about when I need to rotate a password for an account.

A: Add a version number and hash that too.

Q: Cool. Now what about when I have different accounts with the same url.

A: Just hash the account name too.

Q: Cool. What about some websites that have specific password requirements?

A: Uh. Map the hash to a language with the symbols you need and try to remember what that language was when you need the password again.

Not answered, but interesting to consider:

How can I avoid needing to remember the language? (Online service mapping domains to password requirements? But then what about then they change over time?)

How do I remember what version number I’m on? (Online public mapping from hash(username|url|userID) => number? But who has write access? Everybody... blockchain?!?? This could also solve above question. )

Perhaps an office should become a part of all future houses, just like kitchens and bedrooms, to help with focus, privacy and discipline/scheduling etc.

In the long run, working-from-home will only be a win, in so many aspects of society: reducing daily traffic and the associated stress, reclaiming the space taken up by office towers and parking lots, all of which will improve overall public health and increase leisure time, which would boost local economies and even travel industries and so on.
You don't have to understand exponential growth to look at how seriously other nations have treated the issue. Many large respectable nations have entered some kind of lockdown mode.

And I don't believe you should have to understand exponential growth to listen to clear government messaging about the severity of a problem. This is a failure of messaging by the relevant authorities.
Reducing a word like that to simply a definition which barely covers its complexity is problematic.
