It's possible, of course -- maybe very high activity accelerated the timeline -- but he spends his days around hundreds of people, and then occasionally tens of thousands of people. Just walking out of the tunnel he is under the respiratory cloud of hundreds of people.

It seems deeply improbable that this event was the cause, not least because the timeline isn't among the probable set.

Ask HN: How does your company run security?
I know that some companies have cybersecurity departments, which are responsible for overall IT security. However, I have seen other kinds of cross organizational teams where security specialists helps internal teams to identify vulnerabilities and the best way to mitigate them.

Is there anything similar in your company? Are you part of one of these team, and if so, how is a normal day for you like?
What is this Cake thing? Looks nice.
The lofty ask price may be unduly anchored by the hypothetical value it could have represented to Google in the scenario where something like this turned out to be the next big platform. Web and later mobile represented big shifts of economic activity, and the incumbents all know they need to place a big bet on candidates for any next potential shift, hence many of them making similar moves on VR, AR, self driving cars, etc. If they didn’t, and missed the next big step entirely, they would be judged to be incompetent; if they did and it simply didn’t pan out, no big deal since all the other players were making similar bets. In this context ML may see itself as still representing that potential future value, while others have updated their pricing based on limited uptake of VR and AR so far. It’s unclear where they could find a buyer at that price.

Article was marginally correct, but he leaped upon the slightly-wrong-at-the-time-wording ("all games" when tonight's schedule other than Utah was still intended to be played) with way too aggressive language.

Then fate turned around and made the article somewhat more true, when the last game of the night was cancelled due to refs having worked Utah games. (However, intervening games after the Utah game were played, so, it wasn't "all games" originally).

Still doesn't excuse the commenter being a jerk about it and overreacting.

Fuel only makes up a small part of that $1000. The lion's share of the hourly charge goes towards paying off the amortised cost of buying and maintaining the helicopter itself. If you magically eliminated the costs for fuel and for the pilot, you're still probably paying $700+/hr.

It's spontaneous because it is not caused by the external treatment. It's not a misnomer so much as a difference in usage. When you say a person did something spontaneously, it means it was impulsive, not caused by anything, and has connotations of being a sudden or easy action. When you say an event was spontaneous, there is no reference to meaning or intensity of the event - it simply means that there was no external cause.
It's more nuanced. A company being "bought" means that an acquirer actively sought them out because they were such an attractive target. This is the best position to be in.

A company being "sold" means that they don't have active interest and instead offer themselves up as a last resort for whatever price they can get. Usually everything is liquidated at the absolute minimum to avoid completely shutting down the company and still marking it as an "exit" on the investors books.
I find it very surprising that he suggests writing the introduction at the end of the paper. He doesn't explicitly mention the abstract, so I'm assuming the introduction includes the abstract of the paper. If that's true, I find it impossible to write any paper without first working out a fairly fleshed out abstract. It usually takes about 50% of my time to just write my abstract.

The way I structure my prototypes, I have to have a sense of the existing state of the art, which I then leverage to propose my hypothesis. I do a version of this for programming as well, I try and identify state of the art methods in the field, and use that to guide my implementation.
It isn't hard to parse at all. He has been using the word "hoax" to refer to false narratives and accusations for months if not years. He is clearly pushing back on the criticisms as being false, as being a "hoax".

There is also the fact that his actions don't make any sense at all if it were true that the President thinks the outbreak is a hoax.
I imagine what he meant was that the administration is now backtracking on that statement.

hardly.
I respect your position and the desire for professionalism. I differ in regard to the expectations of people, however. Even under the best of circumstances with the benefit of a lot of time (we don't have a clue about the intelligence that triggered this, so we don't know if they put this together in a day or a week) I still expect errors. Perhaps I'm cynical, but I just assume human beings will break things and screw up whenever they are given the opportunity. In the case of the white house press corps, there's a lot of opportunity for that.

Occlusion issues were also present even though I'm pretty Magic Leap already has a solution for those types of problems internally (I think I heard that from someone in marketing some time last year).

> Sadly the symptoms for CoVid-19 are pretty common across a variety of diseases, so “flu-like but not flu” doesn’t necessarily point to this.

Indeed, which is why I'm still at least somewhat skeptical. Still, it's hard to rule it out, especially given the relatively-severe symptoms (not the absolute worst I've felt, but it was pretty bad).
What needs to happen is to reduce the connectedness of the human social graph. The elderly don't need to be totally isolated. They can be seen by family, friends, but we need to limit the number of people that each older person can see, and the number of people that are seen by each younger person. That's what this social distancing is about. The virus travels along nodes where our paths through spacetime intersect or come close, and that is in many cases closely modeled by the human social graph. If you reduce the connectedness of the graph, you reduce the number of potential intersections each carrier has with uninfected people. You do that enough, and you can get the reproduction rate below 1. You do that enough and we can catch up to the infection front and seal it off.

At least, that's the hope as I understand it. That's what I'm trying to help do by staying home and seeing only close friends and only in 1:1 settings.
It's tragic that a lack of test kits is costing us the ability to accurately track the spread of this disease and its true mortality rate. If right now there are 100,000 (actual) positive and 50 deaths, that's a whole different situation than 1000 (reported) positive and 50 deaths.
AA's 12 Steps use the word God four times. They also refer to "Him" three times, to a higher "Power," a "spiritual awakening," and prayer.

Nearly every step has a reference to spirituality of some kind and most of them are laced with Christian undertones.

More generally the idea behind the 12 steps is to place yourself in the hands of this higher power and allow it to guide you. Basically it requires a belief in prayer.

AA has worked for many many people--which is wonderful and it is demonstrably a great tool for them! But an atheist, humanist, or more generally someone who doesn't believe in spirituality is going to have to go through significant mental gymnastics to deal with the 12 Steps.

It seems to me that if someone doesn't believe in God or a higher power of any kind, there are probably better first line treatments for alcohol addiction. It isn't necessary for an atheist to change their spiritual or religious beliefs in order to recover. Therapy, medication and secular support groups all exist.
Yes - most ethanol is denatured by adding a small quantity of methanol, which renders it undrinkable. They also sometimes add a bitter compound to discourage drinking or a colour to identify it as non-drinkable.

If you can get cheap high-proof food-grade ethanol that would be best, as methanol can be absorbed through the skin. You could also re-distill the ethanol (may not be legal in your jurisdiction), or find the MSDS to figure out the methanol range.
Google used to have code search before (or at least far better than) anyone else did. Then they killed it.

It cannot be contained. That’s what the pandemic declaration means

That's the exact opposite of what the WHO said when they made the pandemic declarations:

"We cannot say this loudly enough, or clearly enough, or often enough: all countries can still change the course of this pandemic," reads a statement from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO.[1]

South Korea has shown this to be correct.

To be fair, his point that it's dangerous stands. They do create super bacteria [1]. Of course, with bacteria, you'll experience it through an unlucky lottery rather than a pandemic.

I'm assuming you mean beyond inducing the host to aerosolize infectious fluids via sneezing and coughing.

Here's a fun fact: Toxoplasma gondii causes rats to like cats (feces) instead of fearing them, making them prone to being eaten by cats - which is great for the parasite as it reproduces in cat's alimentary system. Incidentally, humans with Toxoplasmosis are over-represented in traffic accidents, which may suggests some of that recklessness effect carries over.
An F1 driver will spend 4-5 hours on track during a race weekend. The rest of the time is spent in hotels, with the press, with fans and in the track facilities/garage. I’ve been around a few F1 tracks on race days, and they are incredibly packed full of people. The drivers don’t need to worry about catching a virus on track, it’s everywhere else that’s the problem.

But the thing that makes F1 actually somewhat unique in terms of Coronavirus risk, is that it’s supposed to take place across 22 countries (down to 21 now that China’s been cancelled - or “postponed”). Including a number of countries that have high infection rates, like Italy, Singapore and Japan. An F1 team member could theoretically be infected in one country, go to a race in another country, leave and arrive in a 3rd country before they even show symptoms.

So far what the FIA has done is cancel China, prohibit driver > fan interaction at events, limit press interaction, and said that some races will be run without live audiences. They’ve also said that if a team can’t race because of the virus, they won’t hold an official GP, but they kinda implied they’d still hold a race.

I’m a big fan of F1, so I’m happy to see the races. But it seems like a disaster waiting to happen. The FIA also have a terrible history of not cancelling events when they really should be cancelled. Last year when Typhoon Hagibis was forecast to arrive onshore in Japan on the Saturday of the Japanese GP weekend, the FIAs plan was “we think Typhoon Hagibis will be gone by Sunday, so we’ll just run qualifying on Sunday morning”. It did clear up by then, but really just by luck. In 2005 the circuit for the US GP had a corner that was dangerous to take at speed for any car that was using Michelin tires, because they may catastrophically fail. This caused two major crashes during practice. The FIA refused to change the track, refused to cancel the race, and refused to allow the teams to withdraw. The result was that the (7/10) Michelin teams drove one formation lap, and then had all 14 of their drivers retire. In short, they can’t really be trusted to make defensible decisions about cancelling events.

- Someone will watch you

- The entire session is recorded

- You hold up multiple forms of ID and rotate it / tilt it

- It's effectively a keylogger + mouse tracker + eye tracker + ..., basically malware

- Triggering any security features like looking "to the side or down" will result in human intervention asking you to do a 360 degree view of your room

- You are not permitted to cover or pause the video stream and you may be randomly asked to do things like blink or hold up fingers

- Yes, they can remote control your device
Off topic to OPs paper however consider the case of volt-db an all in memory SQL db with replication. In the sales'y' write speed was written down to less locks, latches, disk I/O. But somewhere else I read that a big culprit in fact isn't that: it's formatting data to be written to disk then decomposing a disk block back into memory for use. All memory dbs avoid that.

I think I’m retrospect the severity of the lockdown in China will be seen as a mistake. Many of the steps they took were unnecessarily damaging, and realistically It’s only a matter of time before there’s another outbreak over there, in fact it’s probably already happening. There’s just no way to stop this virus, we can only slow it down.
The thing was that safety oversight was not about the safety but about finding loopholes and formalities to cause maximum cost overruns and maximum delays to the project.

Or to put it in another words: I guess that same guy (and his friends) are having a raging boner for such number of delays. They consider each and every delay an accomplishment. It's a fucked up attitude.

Oh thanks for the link. I was looking around to source food/cosmetics-grade carbopol 941, Caprylyl Glycol, AMP or high-purity TEA, and Isopropyl Myristate per a chemistry formulation forum. I was going to cost $500 or so to get started making even small quantities, and then everclear and distilled water for the balance.

Oh man... without very careful fractional distillation, random Home Depot paint thinner, fireplace fuel isn't a good idea at all. For use on hands, it must be food or cosmetics grade.

Maybe some aloe vera would be better than hand cream, which would leave less of an unpleasant, oily residue? Also, random hand cream would likely interact with the recipe because they usually include many components.
