So a 5 cent part that probably costs $500 due to whatever insane economics determines the price of medical equipment is 3d printed, and we are supposed to think this is good? Or even ok?

This is insane.
Thanks.

I probably can't do that in my building. It's a secure building and I've never figured out how to get delivered food here. You need a key to enter the building.

But it's good info and thank you for posting it. I hope it helps other people.
I think that is the next step in the official escalation plan

Corruption in Iran
An example of corruption in Iran where politicians control profit-making charitable institutions, from pilgrimage assistance to drug-testing to suspect coronavirus donation websites.To remain in power, any regime requires a coterie of officials who are milking the system.

I wonder if you could connect various chapters in the notes with hands on experiments people could try based on data collected from https://phyphox.org/

I installed this app and I was surprised by all the sensors and data it can collect, but I didn't have a particular experiment in mind. It would be awesome to connect the examples and math model with real-world experiments.
Sounds to me like that manufacturer needs to contact the operators of that stockpile.
A mortgage freeze would save the landlord and they wouldn't need the rent. If they need the rent when their mortgage payment is frozen, then they're not a good landlord. Chances are, they won't be a landlord for long when the lender calls the loan due as well.

Let's not offload the onus on landlords personally responsibility to manage their finances. If they don't have a mortgage to pay, they'll get by just fine if they can't collect rent.
Back in the day this was done with a bunch of paired encrypted modems, and a multiple serial port, getty, and ISDN-PRI are all probably still a thing...
Hand sanitizer is not an essential need for anyone; soap is more effective. Nobody is forced by their needs to buy hand sanitizer.

The concept reminded me of good/bad programmers and good/bad companies. Good programmers stay employed by companies. Bad programmers are not kept and always in the job market. Bad companies lose good programmers and are always hiring.
Ohio closed restaurants and bars effective 9 PM local time. I hope it gets people to take this more seriously.
This is crazy to ponder given it’s only been a couple weeks. I feel terrible about so many smaller businesses teetering close to insolvency.

Given the incubation period is > 14 days, and more than just a few of the patients don't show symptoms at all, you'd be spreading the virus before you know it without a face mask.
I have family in Raleigh, and I’m concerned that with the known Biogen cases and the lack of “social distancing” that there might be a major outbreak there
Interestingly they don't mention anything past California as an ambition, was this the idea Trump was talking about?
This is a good move. We’re obviously moving slower than we ought to and only time will tell how late we are.

The one thing we, in the US, have been consistent in this is that we’re too slow to act.

There’s obviously a risk of the pendulum swinging the other way but until we see a down tick in cases we have to assume we’ve got ground to make up.

Case growth won’t start decreasing until social distancing is widely adopted.
That was an awesome article! The kind of rabbit hole I’d gladly go down :)

SD cards and USB sticks are just.... weird. I haven’t delved too deeply but maybe someone here knows.... why is this? At this point I almost think of them as ‘not disks’. The particular weirdness I’m thinking of is I’ve seen more than one drive just seem to die, just because you try and repartition them in Windows. Not even filling the drives up.

Is it the case that USB drive and SD card firmware is just crap? Like it makes assumptions about the device other than ‘this is just a set of blocks on flash memory’ and actually needs things on the disk at a file system level to be a certain way for it to work properly? I’m really curious.
Good points, thank you.
I glossed over "credit card" at first and now I'm 100% jealous. That is single highhandedly the greatest credit card ever haha! I'd pay $88 for that. You garner barely any interest as it stands!
The PATRIOT act was special emergency powers in response to an “unprecedented” attack on our nation requiring periodic renewal.

Here we are two decades later, with it renewed.

Per Wiki:

> Many of the act's provisions were to sunset beginning December 31, 2005, approximately four years after its passage. In the months preceding the sunset date, supporters of the act pushed to make its sun-setting provisions permanent, while critics sought to revise various sections to enhance civil liberty protections. In July 2005, the U.S. Senate passed a reauthorization bill with substantial changes to several of the act's sections, while the House reauthorization bill kept most of the act's original language. The two bills were then reconciled in a conference committee criticized by Senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties for ignoring civil liberty concerns.

> [...]

> Following a lack of Congressional approval, parts of the Patriot Act expired on June 1, 2015. With passing the USA Freedom Act on June 2, 2015, the expired parts were restored and renewed through 2019.

You could wipe the touchscreen down before using it. If that's not possible, you should wash your hands after being in public & don't touch your face.
Similar measures were just mandated in IL. Basically, take out and delivery are your only real options. We are kinda stocked up, but we will both keep ordering in just to keep local businesses going. Our family unit is oddly priviledged during this outbreak.

Tbh, I am slowly starting to get worried as recent FED move again focuses on banks and not on small business relief.
This is true...fair point. However, panic has already been incited I think.
People keep saying this, but if healthcare systems get overwhelmed then everyone has to worry about this "flu". Adding to that, even the strictest measures will only have visible effects in one or two weeks. We literally have no idea what the situation on the ground will look like by then, even in places like Raleigh. That's why it's entirely appropriate to act now and minimize risk.
I think maybe you missed the part about the reason for not having them easily accessible wasn't cost, but simply availability:

> She explained that the hospital in Brescia (near one of the hardest-hit regions for coronavirus infections) urgently needed valves (in the photo) for an intensive care device and that the supplier could not provide them in a short time.
"Monetize government debt" is just another way of saying buy treasuries. Which makes some sense as long as the interest rate on treasures is positive -- the people who sell them to the Fed will then have cash and want something else to invest it in, and the Fed (and therefore the US treasury) effectively gets to collect the interest on those bonds.

But how much sense does it really make to have the Fed buy treasuries at a negative interest rate? They'd be paying someone else for the treasuries which they'd then have to pay interest on (instead of collecting interest), for the sole purpose of getting new money out into the economy. Obviously at that point it's time to consider alternate ways of getting the new money out there -- like just giving it out to everybody in the country as a UBI. Or if you want to do something equivalent with slightly different accounting, have Congress pass a UBI funded entirely with debt, but then the Fed monetizes the debt (and the new debt causes treasury rates to be zero instead of negative against the monetization).

Doing some kind of "targeted tax cuts" along the same lines might also work, but probably not as well, because governments suck hard at detail-oriented master plans like that and usually just end up creating a lot of harmful economic distortions. Across-the-board even distribution reduces the incentive for people to change their behavior in order to get the money while still getting the money out there, and not putting it disproportionately in the hands of the rich.
Perhaps this pandemic will help us to realize just how important understanding one another better is.

Maybe they wanted time for it to settle in before markets open?

I think it’s a real shame that Amazon and eBay shut him down and halted the distribution of his stock to where it was most needed, simply on PR grounds.

I don’t think he did a single thing wrong, but the mob sure does seem white-hot angry at him.
Yes, so is making a web crawler that can guess URLs of hidden documents. So what have we gained here? Are we really inviting activists to attempt to trade the problems of censorship for the problems of bad RNG and griefers?
Rules like this dont need to be enforced (or even enforceable) because by and large the community is onboard. Ie if Canlis, a Seattle institution ,was seen as looking for loopholes and risking lives it would be the end of their entire business.
The die was cast well over a year ago, but the exponential function had us proper fucked a week ago.

We are not solving this through cleverness anymore, if it was ever on the table.
I don’t know what makes people like you go online and post this type of incorrect and harmful advice in such a smug fashion. All I can say is you need to educate yourself.
I learned about this on HN a couple weeks ago. Game changer for me on the app dev side. Makes poking into the pods to look at logging way easier, especially since I'm not a specialized DevOps resource.
Covid19 is closer to SARS than the flu, and is known to cause permanent lung, kidney, and testicle damage, even in young and healthy patients.

Even among young patients, the ICU rate is as high as 10%. A low mortality rate for young people assumes access to an ICU.

All of New York State only has about 600 unoccupied ICU beds. If the number of infections in New York breaches 6,000, the fatality rate among young people is likely to be 10-20x that of the flu.

Young people need to worry about Covid19/SARS2

> My child is under 18 but I’m concerned they need to be tested. Can I fill out the screener questions for them?

Unfortunately no. At this time, only those who are 18 years or older are eligible through this program and anyone who is prioritized for testing will need to provide a valid ID to confirm identity at the testing site. Please consult with your physician if you have concerns about your family’s health.

I don’t understand why this is the case.

The GP said it already. The example virtues are honesty and propriety. If you value honesty over propriety, you'll speak honestly at the cost of speaking politely. If you value propriety over honesty, you'll either not speak or speak in a more polite/roundabout way to avoid conflict, even at the cost of honesty.

That's how it seems to me, anyway. God help us.
They don't know the rate of new cases. They know the rate of observed new cases. They don't also know the innumerable little connections that are hard to lock down across and within age groups.

Ohio as well.
> But, wow. This is beginning to look pretty scary.

This is the main benefit I see of having our government take these measures: making people like you realize THIS IS SERIOUS. It has "looked pretty scary" for almost two months. And no one has taken it seriously. And now we're here.
I’m not happy about this either, though my family doesn’t have any dietary restrictions. I’m just recounting an option that is still available, I’m not implying stupidity for anyone involved.
Gov. Newsom is only providing "guidance".... The local bars by me are promising to stay open since its not a legal order :(
How long does this go on for? Realistically we can't just live with the world shut down (can we?) with a vaccine far off, this can't be the new normal?
Considering the upcoming recession, is now even a good time to start a company?
So, I saw the same thing you did. But, once I disabled some of my blockers and such on the site, on refresh it immediately went from "Free Trial" to just "Free". On the Vienna Opera site, not Pornhub... just to be clear ;-)

I'm now watching Das Rheingold without having had to provide payment details or the like, though I did have to create a user account (just username/password). Mind you, some mightn't find that as... err.... exciting as some other options... but for me it will do just fine for now.
The test time can be pretty insane on the high capacity cards. I remember it took about 4 hours to test a 256gb card but I find its worth it to check the card just once since it saves a lot of pain later when you find one tiny part of the card is failing.
If you don't need Kubernetes, don't use it.

Kubernetes runs more than tiny, statically linked Go apps. It also doesn't just run apps. It can schedule a wide variety of workloads in a cluster, managed their persistent storage, apply disruption policies, autoscale pods based on load or custom metrics, it can set up load balancing, it can run batch jobs, it can run time-scheduled jobs, it can control network traffic, it handles DNS lookups... the list goes on.

Kubernetes isn't particularly complex, but what complexity it does have can be explained. Any attempt to provide the same functionality will ultimately reinvent Kubernetes.
It feels like we need some better way to maintain systems in the fairly long term, after most people have forgotten their significance.

This sort of preparation looks useful, but I don't have the greatest hope that it will really help us deal with the next outbreak - I'm sure we had large stockpiles of equipment after the Spanish Flu too. It'll likely be down to 13 million again by the next pandemic.

IRC these wide variations are all due to relatively greater fluctuations in the value of the dollar compared to relatively lesser fluctuations in the functional value of gold.

With uneven but too-frequent devaluation events, the US dollar, or indices based on it, certainly does not have enough continuity to make accurate trending across the previous century feasible.

These events are usually reserved for situations when other assets are in extreme flux, exacerbating the difficulty accommodating the discontinuity.

This has been by design.
There’s nothing false about it. Fatality rate for 50 and below is a paltry 0.2%, let alone the infection rate is very low as well. The incubation period is long and symptoms for most are mild, so it’s here to stay as it’s easily spreadable. I dont understand your position!
Just apply and see what rate they give you. The initial applications are annoying but once you've done that you can drag your application with a lender out for a long time so long as they can still mark it as an "active" file.

I worked in the industry and your credit score was the primary reason we based off your rate, and we knocked it down a bit if there was a promo or if you had autopay.

You don't get dinged hard by just applying. Ask how long they keep your credit report before pulling it again and just get rate quotes during that time period. It's smart and also lenders know when they'll be increasing rates before it goes in affect so it doesn't hurt to do it now and then just wade it out.

Also ask for a rate modification. Nobody knows about this but you can request to get just your rate modified and nothing else changes. It's WAY less time consuming, cheaper, you don't need an appraisal, and can be done in a day. The downside is you can't get "new money" (more than your current principle balance) and you're not extending your loan.

I practice extreme germ control daily. So it has nothing whatsoever to do with me not taking it seriously.

I just think I am unlikely to get coronavirus because I'm a fucking hermit who works from home and doesn't touch anything and practices germ control so my genetic disorder won't kill me.

Maybe read all my comments before making insulting assumptions about me. I've already talked about having CF in this thread.
It's not just about getting access to services; all of those homeless services are awful for limiting disease spread. Soup kitchens are going to force people into relatively close contact.
There are two projects related to Google going on - one is this one, from Verily, another is broader information website, led by Google. From TC[1]:

Google later clarified is that there are at least two different efforts here. Google’s work around bringing more information about COVID-19 to its users across its various services — and Verily’s efforts 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.”

I can not say which one Trump meant - and am not sure if he really goes into the details beyond "we're working with Google folks on making information available" - the President usually doesn't do such things by himself, he delegates - but I would assume he probably meant the other one. But maybe both. Or maybe just Verily effort and extending it to broader reach. We'll see.

I've seen that happen on Mac, but not Windows, unless it's a counterfeit card. If you "dd" to a mounted disk on Mac, you are going to have a bad time.

Also, people use "dd" a lot when all they need is "cat".
No, Clozure is correct. OP is referring to Clozure CL, not Rich Hickey's Clojure.
No precedent for it, and a lot of Supreme Court precedent against it. Nonetheless, as an also Seattle resident, it has dramatically changed the city through voluntary behavior of the population. This has been an incredibly destructive blow to everyone in the formerly thriving restaurant and bar industry in the city.
My Daughter was working as a temp between jobs and the work has now been stopped, she had two second interviews planned in Sydney this week now both positions have been retracted and nobody hiring or interviewing, she has about 7 weeks of cash savings and 4 months lease on a rental.

Young People at the lowest risk from this virus are going to be much worse off than just catching a fucking bad cold.

The UK's answer to the problem is starting to look a lot more sensible than total economic chaos being caused by all other methods.

Hm, they should have made it without registration.
Its a symptom of those who have the virus, a intense need to collect toilet paper.
Your analysis is too simple.

Different consumers place different amounts of value on goods. Normally, market prices react to balance this out.

When prices don't move (or are not allowed to) this no longer works. Let's investigate the situation with an example: we have one bottle of sanitizer (produced for 1$) and two people willing to buy. Alice values the product at 5$ and Bob does so at 50$. The retail price is 2$.

Without an adjustment in the price, randomly Alice might snatch up the sanitizer. For a consumer surplus of 3$. If Bob had managed to snatch it, there would be a surplus of 48$.

If a 'price gouging' middle man came in and raised the price, the likelihood of the product going to the consumer who values it more goes up by a lot. 45$ (= 50$ - 5$) of value for the economy are created.

In addition, a common way people deal with these situations is by queuing. What queuing does is to add a time cost to the monetary costs of the purchase. Queues increase until the total cost of the marginal person who could join the queue is at something like a market clearing price.

Unfortunately, that price will mostly be made up of wasteful queuing effort that no-one benefits from.

(PS: I didn't downvote you. I actually upvoted you after I saw your comment was in the negatives. The HN crowd can be pretty knee-jerk with their votes. Any topic around economics (or politics?) is especially fraud with that.)
Hurricane prep helps with lots of emergency scenarios, it seems.
One interesting thing here, the Governor is only giving "guidance" not a legal order. My local bars are promising to stay open since its not legally binding :(
I do. A shit ton. Most people I've talked to, in fact. Not that it matters who you or I know. Option 4 is the same as option 3: do nothing like the UK. People will act in what they perceive is their own self interest. For most people, that does not align with what's good for society. It's too late for mass testing. There's only one option: lock down.
This is the exact problem with rampant “capitalism” and Raeganomics. This is where we end up.

Bailouts for the rich and corporations and that’s it.

Things seem great until they don’t. And then it’s go fuck yourself. No matter how conservative you are I ask you to look in the mirror and ask yourself if this is really how you want your kids to live.
Reserve requirement were at 10%.

What happens now if someone deposits $100,000, the bank lends out $100k because it can, and the someone tries to withdraw their money?
I'm scratching my head trying to see how that doesn't answer the question. By definition, a remote batch means people wouldn't need to come to SF for a batch. There's never been any location requirement otherwise. What's left?
Yeah, we don't even know if this disease is vaccine-able, meaning whether people get long term immunity post exposure.

Worth noting that the SARS (v1) vaccine was abandoned after the disease disappeared. Idiotic lack of long term thinking.
King County is opening an extra space for homeless men to allow them to be more than 6 feet apart in the shelter.
