This rationale ad absurdum would suggest you should be able to keep a nuclear bomb without proving anything to the state - an equally terrifying prospect.

I doubt you're advocating for unrestricted access to nuclear bombs any more than 3pt14159 is advocating for restricting access to table salt (and I haven't seen 3pt14159 suggest glassware should be restricted either.) The question, then, is where to draw the line. It can be terrifyingly low, it can be terrifyingly high.

Restricting glassware does seem pretty absurd on it's face to me, although I'm only hearing one side of the argument so far. Phosphorus - that can be dangerous in large quantities even if you mean well. Neither I nor the fire department will be terribly amused if you warehouse large quantities of it in a residential neighborhood. Small amounts - sure, don't write laws that let you throw the book at people for small scale hobby chemestry.

Even nuclear material in some quantities can be fine. We certainly shouldn't arrest people for the americium-241 in their smoke detectors either.

I never said it was the only reason. The reason it costs so much is because you aren't paying for the raw material. You're paying for a service. That service happens to be laughably bad and expensive, but that's what you're paying for.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I've just recently researched APL and it seems like beyond J there really isn't anything else. There's a lot of recent research however, so maybe soon you'll see something new, but in general array based languages seem very little used and studied.
Yes, I'm claiming that retrieving 100,000 records in a single query is a lot.

> Do you think this problem will be rectified in future epidemics? Or is this just the nature of testing and/or the healthcare bureaucracy at the national/international level?

I think this is such a broad question with so many factors it's not really possible to answer.

I think the fact that it was a flu-like disease contributed to an overall lax attitude towards this. If it had been Ebola, health authorities would have clamped down hard and fast.

I think the fact that it started in China was a contributing factor. China didn't want to look like a source of disease, China didn't want its reputation on the international stage damaged by criticism from CDC and WHO and so those authorities were possibly more mute than normal. And there is another potential dimension here if this ends up being a military weapon that accidentally escaped from Wuhan BSL-4 containment. That may be a reason they came down on those researchers who sounded the alarm - those researchers worked at that BSL-4 facility and may have been discussing something that was classified and the chinese government didn't want discussed. This also may have been one dimension behind the Trump administration classifying the early briefings (although more generally I think they just didn't want to spook the market).

Finally, it's also impossible to separate the response from the administration. The Trump administration cut the budget for the epidemic response teams that would have been our first defense against this, two years ago. And their overall administration has been petty at best and malicious at worst. Just like how he went after the NWS officials who corrected his (completely wrong) forecast predictions for the hurricane landfall, there has been a reluctance to countermand him or correct him even when he's doing something completely wrong lest he come back at CDC or WHO and further sabotage the response in revenge. He spent the first two months of this year arguing that it was a hoax being cooked up by the deep state CDC to damage the economy and hurt his re-election chances. Even the Bush administration would have been far more competent at responding to this, Trump's leadership is exceptionally bad. You can say that's tribalism but the reason people are so all-in on that is because it's true, the Trump administration's petty, childish behavior has significantly damaged the US response to this crisis, both actively and passively.

Most other crises eventually fade from the news. Puerto Rico still isn't rebuilt but nobody cares anymore. etc etc. He hoped it would be a tempest in a teapot that blew over and it didn't. He's reluctantly come to terms with that in the last week.

If this whole question was a trap to make me say something downvotable, oh well, so be it, but it's all factually true and that's my honest opinion.

You can try to contact those Russian guys at http://stratonautica.ru/. They were making a project __exactly__ like this, with LoRa (with modifications?) but for location tracking.

Swine flu came from domestically raised pigs. Factory farming makes it more likely because the pigs are kept in close, confined quarters, increasing the spread between animals. The virus is passed from the animals to the farm workers.
Absolutely. I've been employed in healthcare IT for the last 5 years, doing data extracts for researchers and reporting. Many people don't quite appreciate the underlying complexities of extracting data from not only large EMR systems such as Cerner (with over 6000 schema-less tables), but integrating that with the countless other systems the hospital employs for things such as radiology, pathology, ICD-coding, etc. Many data aren't entered as you would expect, documentation is often lacking and there are very few people who can tell you where exactly the data sits, and how data is actually entered by medical staff doing various work all across the campuses. A simple research request becomes immensely complex when multiple systems are involved and you're using something as complex and as evolving as health data.

So I agree that while this tool may be handy for some, the real challenge with this sort of work is knowing where the (often unstructured) data sits, how it's entered and by whom, and how to extract meaning from it.
There are two GitHub apps we maintain. One with read access (DeepSource) and one with write access (DeepSource Autofix).

By default, on signup, you would be installing the app with read access -- this enables us to pull source code from GitHub on every commit and pull-request, run analysis and report issues as GitHub checks. This is sufficient if you would like to use DeepSource only to flag issues.

With the release of Autofix -- when a fix is available for a flagged issue, DeepSource creates a pull request to the repository with the patch. For this, you would be asked to install the app with write access (DeepSource Autofix). Note that, DeepSource always creates a separate branch with the fixes and creates a pull request. We do not perform any write operations beyond the above mentioned scope.

I'm not an AA person, and frankly, from what I know about it, I find it somewhat off-putting . still, I will try and be charitable here.

I have a hard time going to the gym consistently. I know it's good for me, but I just don't like going very much. so I make plans with other people to go to the gym together. if I flake, often they say something about it the next day, which is annoying but ultimately helpful. acknowledging that I can't (or at least probably won't) go to the gym consistently on my own, I have voluntarily created a system where there is a social cost to not going. I still have to do all the work myself, but the other people help me stay on track.

China covered up coronavirus, costing the world “two months,” says Trump's NSA
A smart Windows partner would step in to co-design and contribute technology around a core feature in windows, to make sure they had what they needed from the platform while still having a lot of value-added sale.

The disk defragmenter included with Windows was somewhat lousy, but it gave OS hooks needed for other tools to do live defragmentations. The problem is that in both the consumer and enterprise spaces, underlying disk storage maintenance was just a checkbox - you had to sell any specialized version as part of a performance and antivirus suite.

Citrix also did something similar with Windows Terminal Services. Before terminal services, Citrix had to maintain a Windows NT source license just to be able to manage all of the required OS hooks.

Microsoft used Spyglass Mosaic as the foundation for Internet Explorer 1, and Direct3D was from an acquired company called RenderMorphics.

Apple of course does something similar - see their acquisitions of Siri, Shazam, Testflight and Workflow. They are stories around Steve Jobs trying to acquire DropBox pretty early in its history as well.
To be fair, autonomous flight is probably an order of magnitude easier than autonomous driving. Particularly because it's far more predictable and you can put beacons on drones to automatically avoid collisions.

Wow. I dislike this blog. If you have a large resolution you get this thin line down the right hand side of your screen.
I wish I could say that we had that insight from the beginning and that it worked right away, but we ended up failing into that realization after a lot of designs and prototypes.

So what you describe is somewhat built in to what we have now. Users still have to choose what columns they want to look at (there's no real way for us to guess that) and then we do apply some knowledge on what type of data they're looking at to help them get to what they're likely looking for.

We've also tried at times to make default dashboards for data sources when people connect. We can do this to some extent with known Schemas like connecting GA, SalesForce, Hubspot, etc, but for databases - that's proven to be a largely impossible task so far. Everyone's data is so different, and have such odd conditions to consider filtering by, that the auto dashboards end up being quite useless.
Ok, we get it you do not have civic or moral compass. Noted.
So, how strained exactly are China hospitals?

Because I certainly don't know it, and there isn't anybody around here talking about this for some reason (and ok, even if there were, it would be hard to know if they are reliable - and yes, the entire world knows the reason, China prohibited talking about it).

At least on macOS, that's because hamburger menus should be an accelerator; the functionality that they expose should also be available via the global menu bar.

It's badly-designed apps, likely cross-platform or designed by people who don't know the macOS HIG, that bring mobile-style hamburger menus to macOS, not the hamburger itself.

Yes, they are. Otherwise, US law and social convention place the responsibility for not giving a straight answer on the employee.

The AA treatment has a component that many atheists may interpret as religious or spiritual. If that's your interpretation, and you are actively hostile to that belief, then your own world view is not compatible with either the treatment path or the social group you will encounter. That is not going to be a high probability scenario for recovery, and it may interfere with others' recovery, and that's why you should find another group.

Which other group? That's a different question. There doesn't have to be an alternative for AA to be a bad option. Though as it turns out, there are many options. A little searching shows there are AA for athiest groups which, presumably, use a modified protocol.

Interesting - appears to be a rebranded https://slightlyrobot.com/ band (I bought one a year or so ago but couldn't get it to work reliably enough).
Not that this ban makes a lot of sense, but not including the UK makes even less sense, considering they've already reported 400 cases (compared to the ~1,200 in the U.S.)

edit: to be fair, maybe the administration would've preferred to just ban travel from Italy. But I'm guessing it's not possible to restrict travel from just one member of the EU.
U.S. Will Suspend Travel from Europe as Countries Tighten Lockdowns
If there are large scale falsified numbers in China, local and national authorities are certainly acting like they believe them. People are out and about; restaurants are opening; going back to work.

I don't get how people can simultaneously think "China instituted unthinkable totalitarian measures to isolate and quarantine people" and "all the numbers out of China are false, it has to be undergoing exponential growth like other countries."

You can choose one or the other, but not both: they're not self-consistent.

I think the point was to do a controlled restart while making sure the rate of secondary infections remains low enough that the impact of the coronavirus remains less than the flu.
Those are obviously also being worked on. If you watch the video, he strongly encourages Americans to listen to their local authorities for guidance on mitigation. In the U.S. that is how our system works. Local governments are empowered to respond appropriately and they work in conjunction with the Federal government.
Closing the gate after the cows have already gotten out.
I get that they excluded the UK for diplomatic reasons, but it's literally only a few days behind the rest of Europe in terms of infection count, which means this will have almost no effect.

I actually think banning travel from China months ago was a good call, but by analogous reasoning, the right time to ban travel from Europe (including the UK) was last week.
Not an emergency, and we don't need testing, but hey furriners....

"China hospitals" is a bit broad. From my perspective in Beijing, at least, the hospitals here are on high alert but not at all strained.
so very wrong. but unfortunately a common misconception in the colonial world we live in.

older car models are not made in 3rd world because of some grandiose benevolent plan to bring robustness and cheap cars to the poor pitiful people.

older models are usually more expensive to produce, less economical to run, have less confort and everything, and the margins are lower. BUT, the tooling and RD cost is already paid for. so with zero investment (simply shipping what would be scrap metal otherwise) they can extract profits from markets starved of any other offering. And let's not forget they negotiate tax breaks on top, after all they bring jobs to the poor pitiful people.
I've heard of the practice before, it seems a common, if not majority practice.
You're thinking about this backwards. If undiversified capitalists are going to lose a lot of money then they're going to lean on governments to prevent it, and sometimes the governments will cave. If all they have to do is run two shifts in one factory instead of one shift in two factories, they barely even care and you reduce the perverse incentive to do something stupid.
Looks like PHP.

Tom Hanks Says He Has Coronavirus
Taking the same action as China technically is impossible for most countries because of differences on attitude to human rights.

In China, a lot of people can be left at home to die and they cannot do any protest against their government. In the most serious period in Wuhan, citizens were limited to stay home and there were not enough means of transport to do necessary transportation, such as critical patients and food. At the expense of this, another large proportion of people can keep alive.

But in the US, people have weapons and they are very tough. In addition, the information is transparency, so it is impossible to hide such tragedies.
