Google made the following statement on Twitter;

Google is partnering with the US Government in developing a nationwide website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information.

This is _in addition_ (emphasis added) to other measures we are taking, including:

- A Google “home page promotion” to promote greater awareness of simple measures citizens can take to prevent the spread of the disease;

- Work being done by our sister company Verily to launch a pilot website that will enable individuals to do a risk assessment and be scheduled for testing at sites in the Bay Area;

- Promoting authoritative information through Google Search and YouTube;

- Taking measures to protect users from misinformation, including phishing, conspiracy theories, malware and misinformation;

- Rolling out free access to our advanced Hangouts Meet video-conferencing capabilities to all G Suite and G Suite for Education customers globally until 7/01/20;

- Advancing health research and science; and financially supporting global relief efforts.”

So one of two things happened. Either the media largely got the story wrong, claiming that Google was not actually working on nationwide website like Trump described, perhaps the media was confused by the multiple efforts underway at Google and misreported the Verily work the only thing that was going on.

Alternatively, after Google sent out their internal memo asking for volunteers and got 1,700 replies (the 1,700 engineers that Trump mentioned) they still weren’t actually planning to build a nationwide site, but after Trump announced it on national news and praised Google for their work, he effectively forced them to volunteer to do the work. This seems less likely to me.

However there is just a tremendous amount of arguing and misinformation in this thread claiming that Google is only doing the Verily thing, when in fact Google has come out and declared that they are in fact working on a nationwide site, at Google, in addition to the Verily work.

why not? The romans were around for a long time.
Normal mutexes in Rust still have to be paired with a reference-counting structure. Those are separate mechanisms.

I don't know anything about the epoch-based manager, but it does sound interesting.
I'm not sure if I really have and know all the details. But if the goal really is to silo a vaccine then complying with this offer should be considered high treason against the German state, the EU and basically the rest of the world. It's the politicians duty to draw here a clear red line and to enforce it with any means necessary.
Social distancing actually stops the spread but the Western countries will see their confirmed cases rate number drop only after 10-15 days, because they only account for symptomatic cases that underwent a test, not for real-time scans of the full population. That’s why the ‘true cases’ in the OP document are estimated at 10x-30x the confirmed cases, and governments’ lockdowns now actually aim to quarantine all of them.
I believe the authors are aware of this.
> What do you mean? Does this tool prevent you from setting up 2FA on a service?

No I mean the password manager itself has no 2FA. It is impossible to implement 2FA on this kind of password manager. Almost all password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, etc. implement 2FA so even if your master password is compromised (e.g. by a remote keylogger), an attacker can't get into your vault without physical access to one of your existing devices.
A consistent sizing code system would dramatically simplify online shopping for both new and 2nd hand clothes.

Imagine a system where say 10 critical dimensions of a bit of clothing could be embedded onto a QR code on the label. Then you could scan the code with some app which has your measurements (or potentially just take an average of the existing clothes in your wardrobe). It could tell you "Yes, this fits quite well but will be slightly baggy round the waist."

The dimensions could also include "stretchability" figures, so the software could know which dimensions are critical to be correct, and which are "fits all sizes".

The QR code could also include a manufacturer code, and blacklists could be made of manufacturers who mis-measure clothing.
As Tim Pool said, California is the king of greed. A lot of rich people secretly support him and working class people who have to deal with the societal breakdown that is California politics.

4.5 million people or 32% of the voters in CA voted for President Trump in 2016. Democracies of uneducated masses (on both sides) don’t make any one side intrinsically right. Cue Socrates.
What were your health problems that were solved by adding meat to your diet?
Very few of the media seemed to focus on that.
They largely seemed to focus on the fact that the Verily plans were nothing like described in the speech.
Life is to short to accept every disrupting element others introduce.

Just ask him to come over here and look at something, then standing together on a 15 meter distance of the tree ask him wether his decorations add a useful element to the scenery.

Unbox the most ugly Christmas decorations you find on ebay. And supply the man an additional set of extras so from now on he can go ahead with a more professional gear set.

The machiavellian would record and post the prince glitter show on instagram and then burn $200 on instagram ad boost to a selective postal code area.

There is evidence from China and Korea, that you do not build immunity from the disease.

https://archive.is/Gv1iu

This makes the UK response almost as bad as doing nothing at all. Maybe some people will show to have a natural immunity, but many people will die. The UK is in arrears politically and socially. There honestly is no response that would be appropriate, that they could hope to deploy.
I tried both ways: compiling into the proto model to use the newer solver, and also using the older solver directly. But the profiling in each case showed that the solving time dominated. I don't think it was an issue of what the library is optimized for so much as it was just too big of a problem to solve in too little time. Even my hand rolled solution that gives non-optimal answers can take 5-10ms on difficult queries.

We ended up requiring users to adjust their queries a little to make it easier to spot the targeted preintersections. This seemed like a decent trade-off considering the latency impact of the alternative.
If the number of real cases double every N days, the number of people needing hospitalization is also likely to double every N days. If not, it probably means that the infection rate spread at different rates in high risk vs low risk part of the population, but unless those populations are strongly segregated from each other, that is unlikely.

This could go in both directions. In both cases, though it would require that the high-risk subpopulation is primarily infected by each other (or staff) instead of being infected from the general population. If high-risk individuals are primarily infected by low-risk individuals, the doubling time for each group should be the same.

Note that such an effect could go in both directions. The high risk subpopulation could get it at a higher rate the rest if we let the infection spread like wildfire in hospitals and elderly housing centers, or it could spread at a lower rate if the risk patients are kept isolated.
Out of curiosity, why do you feel its not good?
Ah if it lasts longer I can see how it would become an option. In my case the "honeymoon" took the better part of a year and if that phase could be repeated it would definitely improve my therapy.

We delete comments for people nearly every day. It's true that we don't allow wholesale deletion of account histories, because that would gut the threads the account had participated in. But we also don't want anyone to get in trouble from anything they posted to HN.

The idea is to balance the need to preserve history (community interest) and the need to protect users (individual interest). We don't get there perfectly, but I can tell you for sure that the vast majority of people who ask us about this end up happy with how we help them.

We also decided not to use InboxSDK because it has to dynamically load from Streak's servers. If you are open source hobby project this is probably okay, but for a real business this is a potentially business-ending risk.

What do you do if Streak's servers go down? You pay them nothing and have no priority support.

What do you do if Streak pushes a breaking change and brings down your app in real time?

What about if Chrome Web Store continues to lock down the ecosystem and restricts all dynamic script loading from cross origins?

We only needed a fraction of InboxSDK's API footprint so we just built our own adapter layer similar to theirs covering what we need. Now we control our own destiny.

I think their SDK had a better value prop when Google was maintaining both Gmail and Inbox. But now that they've merged there's only one DOM to worry about. And let me just say from experience that Google alters the Gmail DOM very rarely. I think they know there are a ton of extensions leaning on it, which is why they communicated the new UI so far in advance.
The real solution is to buy 2nd hand clothes.

A fantastic idea if you like doing so or the value of your time is low, but if your time is valuable, figure out the basics you like and buy those.
Right, which is why he shut down the division created to plan and prepare for pandemics, and terminated the position created to organize the response for a pandemic.

The CDC was so dysfunctional that by the swift signing of a pen the CDC has been made great again.

Of course, it took him 2+ months to actually sign the document that waived restrictions (which were Bush era, anyways, and any decent government creates laws for the norms, but provides power to override them in case of an out of the norm situation, which Trump waited 2 months to do because he insisted it must be business as usual).

Scheduling is one of these areas where the core problem is quite well-defined, but the devil is in the details - both static and dynamic. Bit like one module of ERP.

Static details include things like local labour laws, skill constraints, unions etc.

Dynamic details include things like allowing employees to state preferences, swap shifts (while respecting labour laws), call in sick etc. without having to reshuffle everything.

There probably are quite a few submarkets (geographies/industries/sizes) that don't have tools; whether you can make money is a different question.

Yeah, I have to be skeptical when a study is titled in such a way that your mind latches on to a seductively fascinating causation hypothesis ("parasites cause authoritarianism!") when in reality it's just a correlation, and that correlation has other much more banal explanations.
There is nothing wrong in TCL/TK. TCL/TK has:

1) SafeTcl for running untrusted code

2) AndroWish for making Android apps

3) Wapp for web apps

4) Embedded SQLite database

5) Expect for automation

6) TclKit for single binaries

7) Hecl for running Tcl code on Symbian devices

8) Fossil that is better than git, stores repo in much less space.

It's not like there is anything wrong in any programming language, when it's still getting features, fixes, security fixes etc.

Problem is, when there is existing large VBA/VB6/VB.Net/Excel etc apps and Microsoft stops developing Visual Basic language.
> If you model the epidemic, as many researchers have, you will see when the end of the epidemic is.

Do you have a link to a study of said researchers saying when the epidemic will end? I'm asking because I've been following this whole epidemic thing since just before Wuhan was put into lockdown, I currently live in Europe and I don't see us getting out of the dark with the current measures being taken.

America is doing most of those things:

> Cancellation of large events.

Check

> Free testing.

Half-check: testing is free, but availability it totally inadequate.

> TV notices encouraging social distancing and hand washing.

Check. Not sure about "TV notices" but this advice is all over the media.

> Temperature checks ... at entrances of indoor crowded places like malls, grocery stores, large retail stores

US is not doing this.

> hand sanitizer dispensed at entrances of indoor crowded places like malls, grocery stores, large retail stores

Check. This is being done, but more by private initiative.

> School closures.

Half-check. These are happening, but it depends on the state.

> Travel and border restrictions.

Half check. Some restrictions are happening at the international border, but as far as I know, there are no formal internal travel restrictions.

I get the point is to show a problem solving technique, but I'm either missing something, or they are missing a constraint.

In several solutions, a nurse works shift 2 one day, then shift 0 the next. In fact, Nurse 3 keeps getting stuck with the back to back shifts.
My sister is in charge of scheduling physicians for shifts and on call for a large hospital and she has a really hard time. She does it manually with the help of a spreadsheet. She engaged with some software company to help and after many hours of work she still uses the spreadsheet.

Part of the problem is that some senior physicians do whatever they want and aren't interested in playing fair. They'll call her the day before a holiday and tell her they're not coming in, and my sister is left trying to figure out the least shitty way to cover the gap.

TRPs are so good and so cheap. I rode Shimano XT for years, and the TRP is the only thing I’ve experienced that is better quality and more reliable while not being outlandishly expensive. Super happy with them!

Cable discs, while better than rims, still suck. I feel unsafe riding anything but hydraulics, even on the road.
Unfortunately, all US domestic sources of UV-C 222nm lights I’ve been able to locate are 10+ weeks back ordered. All Ali Express suppliers are also similarly backordered.

Part of the problem seems to be the disposability of medical PPE. I’d like to find options for gear that is designed to be reused.
Technically, it means: "there is a problem here." Practically, it means: "I'm going to start complaining now, and if you don't agree with me, you are the problem."

One of my favorite "problems" is based on the "fact" that everything we see in media becomes a transcendental reality that nobody can evade, thus we have to constantly fight over who gets represented and why and how. Of course the premise has massive holes in it, and the representation being fought over is often unimaginative clunky stuff churned out by a committee. But that's not problematic.

So whenever I see the word "problematic" I think of some bureaucratic middle manager looking over a memo from above dictating that he or she is required to enforce a policy directive.

No and no.

1) Epidemiological papers usually estimate the true number of cases, based on an estimate of the percentage of cases getting tested. The definitely include this in their outlook, and have correctly predicted the outcome of the epidemic in China. Saying "nobody" is doing that is totally incorrect. There's literally people's jobs who it is to model epidemics, who have PhDs and devoted their entire careers to it. The amount of ignorance about the quantity and quality of scientific research out there just floors me.

2) We do know now that kids are just as susceptible to be infected as adults [1]. We don't know exactly what their role in transmission is, but you could conservatively assume that they probably spread it just as much as everyone else (speculation).

Some clinical characterization of cases in children are available in refs [2] and [3]

I think part of the problem is that unemployment is so low, that corporations aren't mistreating employees - so the demand for unions is relatively low, compared to historical trends.

Depends on how much time and memory you've got, how optimal of a solution you need and the exact nature of the constraints.

From what I've seen, solving problems with a good enough solution with a 1h time limit is usually doable up to about 1000-3000 on standard hardware.

I built a web interface for this type of nurse scheduling optimization. Mine uses CPLEX instead of the CP-SAT solver but the Python set up is very similar.

Here's the web interface to the nurse scheduler:

and here are some other optimization examples:

"First" does not equal to "cause" either.
Technical solution aside:

I wrote a schedule for a team of ~20 co-workers for a 24/7 support shop. This required people change shifts / sleep schedules often.

The schedule was a point of contention for years.

After I volunteered to write the schedules, in 3 months I had everyone happy.

It was not hard.....but....

The catch was that I did it manually for a month at a time with a wide ranging amount of changing priorities that would be hard to program ... and the key was COMMUNICATION, and working with people and their personal preferences.

I think some countries have controlled it, but I wouldn't say they've stopped it. The moment business and society goes back to normal behavior new cases will skyrocket until we can get new cases down near 0 per day.

For example South Korea diagnosed 851 cases on March 3 and 107 cases on March 14. That's a massive achievement and will undoubtedly save many lives. But there are still 100+ new cases being diagnosed every day there, and every one of those are potential vectors for future infection.

I know all of that, but the first numbers that will either confirm of contradict the lockdown measures will come this Tuesday-Wednesday (for Italy), but you've still got Spain where countless madrilenos ran for the seaside this weekend (no matter the state of emergency already being instituted the day before), France actually holding elections (?!) and countless bars and restaurants still being full over the weekend, Switzerland ignoring the situation almost completely and Germany most probably fudging the numbers. The UK is a special case which I'll not get into because it's too complicated.

Which is to say that yes, nobody knows where and when the light at the end of the tunnel will show up. This positivist "attitude" of first "it's just a flu" and now of "we'll get over it in no time" has really started getting onto my nerves.
