My personal agenda is dislike of the the environmental effects of milk, but also have children and find most vegan conversations by childless adults are oblivious to the short comings of milk substitutes, so I bring it up to see if someone can help my family get off milk (we removed red meat already, and the adults drink oat milk).

We should assign blame to a drunk driver who hits someone, no matter if he became sober after the accident enough to drive his/her victims to the hospital.

There's certainly lots of blame to assign to China and after all this comes back to a "normal" state again the international community should pressure China into eliminating the things that made all this possible: they should be draconic in not allowing things like the Wuhan wet-market be open ever again, all over China, for ever, they should be forthcoming in allowing international experts come and asses things as soon as a new disease manifests itself, they should allow their local medical experts have the upper hand over local Communist officials, at all times.

Very cool article summarizing potential of remdesivir as potential therapeutic vs Covid19. Submitted 16-Feb-2020, published 6-Mar-2020, and as of today 15-Mar-2020, it is the third-most-recently published article about remdesivir vs covid19 as indexed by google scholar [1].

interesting notes: remdesivir was given to the first reported covid19 patient in the usa under a compassionate use exception. Impossible to say if it helped, but the patient's condition did improve the next day.

> "Treatment with intravenous remdesivir (a novel nucleotide analogue prodrug in development) was initiated on the evening of day 7 (illness day 11), and no adverse events were observed in association with the infusion." [2]

this makes sense. One more to add : typical discussions tend to ignore kinaesthetic reasoning, as most forms of it are ill adapted to university and thus tend not to be present in initial samples.

I might be using terms wrong. But the kind of thinking useful in fixing cars is not a kind of reasoning that is common in first year university - or at least not discussions at that level. It's entirely probable I'm missing a whole layer, but I find that there's a hole in discussions about reason and perspective that misses a lot of people that are family. Oh and me, largely. I spent enough time wrangling wrenches, spinning spanners and driving forklifts....

Btw : I suspect more of the discussion along the lines of the attached article would remedy said hole. It's asking the right questions for a change that people like I knew a lot of my life could better answer.

Isn't Sweden itself a risk area? Looking at cases per 1M population [1], Sweden is at no 10, and its neighbors Norway and Denmark are at 2 and 6.

How come there are so many cases per capita? All the neighboring regions like Poland, Russia and even the North of Germany, have fewer cases.

Appropriate assignments. For me, that often makes or breaks a MOOC. I want to be stumped in an intellectual way, but not a cryptic way. I don't want to feel like I'm just trying to decode the professors cryptic problem. I want to feel like it's a genuine hurdle to learn the content well, yet still accessible, and definitely not busy work.

Good example: write an interpreter for the given (made up and simple) programming language. We had to figure out how to implement certain language features such as clojures.

Bad example: in networking course, we had to recall details about certain protocols, and do calculations. While this might be useful to know how to do in practice, it didn't contribute anything to my understanding, and it just always felt like tedious busy work, and lacked projects that contributed to the course goals.

I don't know data science, but here's a project I've heard of:
Somebody's hobby was disc golf. Discs come with ratings on them (I'm assuming things like curve and distance). They created a controlled experiment to take various data points from many discs, and compare them to their stated ratings, and apply a bunch of data science-y things to the data.

Edit: I'd add some type of reference resources like a wiki, and ideally some auto-grader that gives feedback if possible (like what tests failed)

Cryptography is hard, opsec much harder. I frowned immediately when I realised that it generates deterministic password from seeds partially known to the attacker.

This is only slightly better than the brain wallet concept for personal key management and back then people thought it was a good idea too. So I guess this kind of attempts will never go away.
Fairly dumb...

1. Flattening the curve obviously improves the situation (even if it doesn’t solve it),

2. Containment would have to last as long as the curve might last: just not practical,

3. Look to Taiwan: so far they are successfully dealing with the emergency the best out of any country.

That said, as much delay as we can get at beginning of the curve is excellent: we want as much time as we can get for our scientists and health systems to discover mitigations, to build up relevant industrial capacity, and to build out health systems support. A lot of lives can be saved with a few lucky discoveries.

Then stilling the hash is enough to login.
Sorry but that's just not true:

Using data from the 2017 USDA Census of Agriculture, which was released this month, it is estimated that 70.4 percent of cows, 98.3 percent of pigs, 99.8 percent of turkeys, 98.2 percent of chickens raised for eggs, and over 99.9 percent of chickens raised for meat are raised in factory farms.

The percentage of animals raised on small family farms is negligible. That people like you aren't aware of this just shows how well this industry is hiding the truth.

You're assuming that all cases are Coronavirus.

People will continue to get the Flu, Colds, HIV / AIDs even throughout this whole shebang. We need to know COVID19 cases specifically, to know if our lockdown methodology is being effective.
It's similar but different.

This is more of form of spoofing that relies on a proxy/mirroring. It isn't strictly cloning in the sense that most would think but it is in a literal sense as a 'victim' is used to provide authentication credentials (in real time).
Your conclusion may well be correct but I must reject your reasons : 1) we have more (cheap!) hardware capacity than we can shake a stick at so sub-optimal performance is very tolerable and 2) depending on how you measure productivity, i'd argue high level/many layers of indirection languages let you deliver features and value faster than non ball-of-clay languages at the cost of weaker confidence in the code. Which can be mitigated to some extent by more clay :)

Now the effective password (the secret shared between client and server to authenticate) is the hash. So you actually do still need to store the cleartext of this secret.

This might be fine, one of the built-in mechanisms of HTTP that we essentially never use works this way (Digest authentication) but it's far too late to agree it now (every client would need to agree to do this or else you need a complicated fallback plan) and it doesn't do much for you security-wise.

You could use an asymmetric PAKE and that gets you a few more benefits but again every client has to implement this so the back compatibility story is horrible.
What I learned from this thread: even engineers use insecure vaults with repeatable, deterministic, and exploitable passwords.

Are there any non deterministic unique passwordless way to login without depending on any entity?

Can you use your blood or state of the body to login?
Each time you login, there will be some differences but not enough that you could not match similarity. It will adapt every time you login and forget about past states.

Over a long duration without logging in, your blood or state could be much different so there is no chance of forever having lost your login if something is compromised.
This seems like it's a great example of survivorship bias: the Romans probably made lots of concrete that didn't survive the elements, but there was some that the Romans did get lucky with. It's also possible that we don't see a similar thing today because our manufacturing processes are so much more standardized (and critically, they are standardized around a process that is apparently less robust.)

FWIW, at the moment it's only lombardy's health system which is collapsing, because most of the victims are concentrated there and the growth rate there was _much_ faster because the lock down was only imposed late.

The growth rate is the same in other regions but delayed, and there is some hope that the rest of the country might be able to cope with it better if the lock down measures are effective.

>A lot of the UK public now seem to realise this is serious and have automatically changed behaviour without government mandating it.

I had no choice but go out and to do my weekly food shopping yesterday. This was definitely not what I experienced at all. Families crowding out in the supermarket with small children and grandparents abound. People coughing openly, not maintaining distance and so on.

People still have no sense of urgency to change their behaviour, and this is the critical time that we need to mobilise. Any success would be down to pure luck rather than their strategy.
TOTP should NOT be stored with your passwords. I know some password managers give this option for convenience but the point of TOTP is it’s something you have (traditionally a physical device) that’s separate from something you know (a password). When both of those things are stored on the same place then it effectively just becomes multiple inputs for 1FA.

The Italian government as the first Western country facing an outbreak was dealing with the prisoner's paradox. If you are the only one instituting strong lockdown measures you are the only one paying the economic price. It was wrong, but it's understandable that the government hoped that the infection could be contained to two clusters. The other European governments and the US on the other hand have absolutely no excuse.

“The Canadians have a system where they can only produce what they can sell,” she said. “If you produce more milk than you can sell profitably, they don’t pay as much for it.”

One thing this article leaves out is the massive subsidies that dairy producers receive in many nations, especially the U.S.. Even as demand has sank in the U.S., production has steadily increased, and the federal government has had to throw its weight around to force U.S. milk down the throats of other countries. Despite it's supply management system, Canada is now a consumer of U.S. dairy. This is because Trump made that a condition of lifting tariffs and negotiating NAFTA 2.0..

Because of supply management, dairy products in Canada are significantly more expensive than they are in the U.S.. Yes, it's not consumer friendly, but it does let dairy farmers do fairly well and maintain good quality of their product. In the U.S., the government effectively pays for a large percentage of every glass of milk consumers drink. When that milk is, instead, exported to Canada, additional export subsidies are applied that earn farmers even more money than they do on milk sold domestically. Then the Canadian government slaps tariffs of several hundred percent on this massively subsidized dairy to bring it inline with Canadian dairy products (which are controlled but not subsidized). Amazingly, it still often winds up cheaper than most Canadian dairy when it hits Canadian supermarket shelves.

The end result is that American taxpayers are paying Canadians (and their government) to drink U.S. milk, just so that U.S. dairy production can continue to grow far past domestic demand. Don't feel sorry for your local dairy farmer. Even if you're not drinking their products, you're already helping them out plenty just by paying taxes.

I honestly wouldn't want to have to change my master password to change a specific password on a site. It's a neat idea but not one I'd use in practice.

In practice I use this:
https://www.passwordstore.org/

It has a great command line interface, is simple to audit, levers gpg for encryption and git for synchronisation, and has browser extensions and apps for android etc too. It even has an extension for OTP.

I've even gone to the length of using it in scripts to inject secrets: "pass buildsecret" will yield the right string. With a thin wrapper that can be supplied to ansible, or terraform, or whatever. It's great. Plus, I can change passwords arbitrarily.
Unfortunately, this is a really bad analysis, because, for one, the author assumes in his model that the total number of infections won't change as the result of greater social distancing. But distancing will have an effect on the number of infections, and this effect is in fact quite substantial. For example, the results of this model suggest a ~80% reduction in total infection burden with a 50% reduction in the rate of transmission, and nearly 95% with a 75% reduction: https://twitter.com/IDMOD_ORG/status/1237881591784865793
It takes about 7 days after developing symptoms for the hospitalized cases to come in.

Being an European this is totally incomrehensible to me. I'm not sure if America is going the UK route of handling the virus, but they'll be in lockdown soon and this kind of measures surely can't help.

Seems this virus will underline our social, technological and other differences. Anyone has any good read on this kind of subject?
Especially because they are in the position to help other countries now, when everybody else have to think only about their own citizens. They sent doctors to Italy with medical equipment (Italy sent some help to China earlier on) so they're going to take some credit for the recovery. Then there will be the real recovery. Western Europe was rebuilt with US money after WW2 and the USA consolidated an hegemony which is still lasting now. I bet that China will be more than willing to help in the next years.
I'm not a chemist, but perhaps a good analogy is making Mona Lisa with Game of Life? Recently posted on HN.

Finding Mona Lisa in the Game of Life

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22552006

From the article:
"This looks kinda cool, but what if we want to find a Life state that eventually, after following the rules of Life for a few rounds, reaches a state that looks like Mona Lisa? This requires working backwards instead of forwards from the target picture, which is a much more difficult problem.
(...)

We call Life state A the "parent" of state B if A turns into B by following the rules of Life. The reason that it's difficult to find the parent of a state is that the rules of Life are non-reversible. There's no direct way to go from a Life state to its parent, and in fact, it's possible for a state to have multiple parents or even no parents.

>If that trajectory persists, and we don’t arrest it, in the 2 weeks closest to peak rate, we’ll have seen 75% of our cases emerge.

vs

>in a couple of months.

Why months? If there are 75% of the cases within 2 weeks, won't 75% of the deaths also occur within 2 weeks?
This just means the poster above doesn't consider a compromise of their password manager a risk. It remains 2FA because the key material for the OTP does not leave the password manager, whereas the password travels down the wire. For a start, this makes it hard to brute force the account for even an inept provider.
Absolutely. A Pi is a luxury item for bored programmers.

Your citations in no way refute my comment.

The video is not representative of factory farms across the US. It is representative of some factory farms, but not the vast majority of them.

That people like you aren't aware that most factory farms operate differently from the few depicted in a vegan propaganda video just shows how well the progaganda is working.
That's definitely a new situation we haven't seen before!

Are the 100 people using all of the different rooms, or do people mostly stick to their own rooms (like a hotel/dorm)?

I'd love to see what you've built so far, and better understand the problems you're trying to fix. For example, does each room have its own coffee machine, or is it a communal coffee machine? Are the people living here permanently or rotating regularly? What is the goal for device detection (e.g., do you want to use that for presence detection or as a security system or something else)?

We have a prototype for a machine learning system that learns how you use your devices and then automates them by itself, so you don't have to set anything up. Our focus is lights because that's what most people have, but it can also control other on/off things like curtains or tv right now. It sounds like it could be good fit for a situation like this, and I'd be happy to chat with you more on whether it makes sense to try out!

If we had published on the Jaguar, maybe that would have led to a whole different career for me too :-)

It's lovely to think someone outside the company enjoyed it. Because it was never published, it felt like multiple years put into something that just disappeared, and I didn't get much feedback from outside the company. That happened with the next game I worked on too, Mr Tank, which was more technically advanced and a lot of fun to play in the demos.
I think online password managers are a bad enough idea already. You should never send your password to anyone (except to the service you're using of course). Not even in encrypted form, since encryption is a reversible process.
>They suggest that currently, the medical system can deal with a large fraction (like maybe 2/3, 1/2 or 1/3) of the cases, but if we implement some mitigation measures, we can get the infections per day down to a level we can deal with.

I never took it this way. I always thought the point was "slowing down the disease saves some lives, even if the same number of people eventually get infected." That's it. Nothing more.

>They mean to tell you that we can get away without severe lockdowns as we are currently observing them in China and Italy. Instead, we let the infection burn through the entire population, until we have herd immunity (at 40% to 70%), and just space out the infections over a longer timespan.

The diagram says nothing about lockdowns. The diagram doesn't promise us we will fully flatten the curve, but demonstrates the life savings benefits of flattening as much as we can.

In my opinion, we should also prepare for temporary lockdowns.

Here's how I deal with this:

The work computer lives in my office, which I close up and leave at the end of the work day. None of my other devices have access to work email, and none of them receive any form of work related notification ever.

If you ping me about something after I've signed off for the evening, you'll get a response in the morning after I've had my coffee.

Everybody else is free to work around the clock if they like. If they need me, they can catch me while I'm at work.
