Never heard about such a thing. Sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory unless you have concrete proof of that.

The original hypothesis was that some other animal sold at the market acted as an intermediate host between bat and human, just like the case in 2003 SARS, but this is also not proven.

It's a vast improvement over the traditional alternative of people reusing passwords across sites IMHO. It's hard enough to get non-technical people to use passwords managers. The chance of getting people to use a password manager without a usable syncing capability is virtually none.
You can still find good info sources and spread what you can. People will learn quickly and must deal with this one way or another.

I don't know if the country can hold economically and socially being completely locked up for one year. Probably not.

And I'm not sure if people can hold psychologically being locked up for one year.
The NHS makes a huge difference. As a single entity it can pivot in a way that I wonder if other countries can come close to.

My daughters dentist commented yesterday that all her surgeries (and her team usually do 50 a week) had been cancelled. The reason? All the anaesthesiologist had been requisitioned as they will be required to do ventilation. All elective surgeries had been cancelled, and her paeds specialists sent on refresher courses for adult patients.

We're in uncertain territory here, the NHS's response may not be 100% perfect and a lot of people will argue that some minutiae could be done better, but I believe it has the huge advantage.

I wonder if other countries, and particularly the US, can manage such a coordinated healthcare response?

Iron lungs require industrial infrastructure to construct. They much resist the pressure of atmosphere over a large surface. I think they've been made obsolete by other tech.

But you need to isolate the pressure around the body from the neck down. For such an enclosure you can use modern materials with high tensile strength like fiberglass but you need to mold them in a sealed manner on a large scale. Very impractical to do in a garage without experience and tools for laying fiberglass matting, or welding in the case of steel or aluminum, which are too heavy to be practical in a home I think

There are certain types of communication that are vastly superior to do in person that can get quite tedious over text or phone. A 2 minute quick talk can save tons of time.

Now if my colleague is working from home I get the that same disadvantage from working from home - even when I'm still in the office. Many of the downsides people list here with working from home will be shared by those who are still in the office.

US are not even testing, theres a ton of evidence that cases upon cases that match the description of corona does not get tested. The US could very well be much much futher ahead already than the current official claims.. Much like China was criticised for.
> I did my research. Also I tracked my nutrition with Cronometer in the first weeks. Not a single day did I miss on B-vitamins.

If you didn't have any animal foods, you're going to be missing out on B-vitamins, because of low bioavailability[1].

> Heme iron is associated with disease in all major studies. I don‘t see a reason to ingest it.

An excess of many essential nutrients and vitamins is associated with disease, that doesn't mean you should cut them out. Non-heme iron is way less bioavailable, especially in combination with plant antinutrients[2], so you can end up iron-deficient.

> I have a great O3/O6 ratio. I don‘t use oil at all and avoid foods that are filled with plant oils.

You probably should be using oil, just not plant oils.

> My breakfast contains lots of flax seeds. Our usual foods contain hemp seeds. All good sources of O3.

Unfortunately not, because those sources also have low bio-availability.

> And all without pollutants from fish.

Pollutants are unfortunate, but when it comes to nutrition, you have to pick your poisen. Salmon roe is a good source of Omega 3 that is low in pollutants.

> I get a lot of information from nutritionfacts.org. Dr. Greger offers free information as in free beer. No ads, no sponsors, even the earnings from his books are given to charity. I highly recommend you check him out. He certainly has his biases but still way less than most other doctors.

A plant-based diet is ideology that is cherry-picking and misrepresenting some insights of nutrition science while sweeping others under the rug. With his exaggerated claims[4], Greger isn't any more credible than certain people on "the other side".

This is an inacurrate estimation. I guess your figure of 1% is from South Korea case fatality rate. The confirmed cases represent a biased sample of the population, and the mortality rate could be lower in reality (but not higher).

> consider the economic impact of 13M people suddenly dying.

The mortality is mainly for 70+ years old people, who are already not in the workforce anymore.

Those numbers cannot help us to evaluate or to compare one state's measure versus another state's decision
This is not a fair assessment and I think it sidesteps the point.

"This is very admirable and I appreciate the desire to help, but I can't stress enough how dangerous this is."

Indicating that 'medical equipment requires specialization' is not a special insight that most people are going to miss.

Assuming that the product will be designed by those who lack credibility or that such equipment might not be of sufficient quality of design, construction, or that it may be misused is unwarranted.

'Open source' encryption and other systems are behind the entire world's financial systems, it has integrity partly because it's 'open source'. It's not designed by fools, and just because jokers and everyone else can 'fork and do something' doesn't mean it will be implemented anywhere that matters. Obviously regulations, security, risk etc. play a role 'where it matters'.

Any kind of medical equipment development is going to require some kind of oversight, regulatory approvals, and special manufacture, but this is all feasible within the concept of 'open source'. There are plenty of highly credible and knowledgeable people, possibly even those who have worked on 'closed source' ventilators can possibly contribute.

Sheppard through some kind of regulatory process, manufacturing setup, and possibly deployment and training, it's not infeasible at all that something like this could help.

Even the availability of high-quality, unlicensed equipment designs, with parts pre-designed for manufacture and ready to be made by qualified entities ... could feasibly make all the difference in the world.

For example, once a design is complete and approved, the medical wing of a poor country, or possibly an NGO could facilitate the actual manufacture and distribution to medical staff in various places.

There are massive margins (bordering on criminal) in medical equipment and supplies these days, hospital beds now cost more than automobiles (!), it's high time there was an open approach to such issues.

I can absolutely see medical researchers and PhD's at universities, teaming with Engineers, MDs, and manufacture/supply chain specialists to produce this kind of stuff.

Obviously there's a limit to complexity here, but I hope they figure out not only ventilators, by any number of other kinds of gear.

Though odds are it will fail, it's not a bad idea, it's a great idea.
In fact, some password managers (well, at least 1Password) do generate a random secret key that you're required to provide at login in addition to your master password.
Likely because we travel more and have more tourists in the Nordic.

For Denmark we actually seeded our Corona spread by bringing home hundreds of infected (it turned out) from ski vacation in Italy and Austria (265 from Austria alone) and not putting them in quarantine.

Legal and Commercial Implications of Covid-19
The containment situation in Wuhan in the early stages cannot be compared to the situation in European countries or the US now, or even the situation in Wuhan now

In the early stages in Wuhan the virus only existed in Wuhan. A severe lockdown that eliminated the virus there would have eliminated it completely. Full stop. It would have been gone forever.

A draconian lockdown right now in e.g. the UK, or even a few weeks ago, might have eliminated the virus in the UK, but then it would just come back in again. We can’t seal the entire country permanently.

Even in Wuhan, they are easing the lockdown so soon the virus will get back into Wuhan again. It’s just a matter of time before they have another outbreak. It’s simply impossible that it won’t happen.

Lockdowns are important tools to slow the spread of the virus, they are a vital part of our response, but they can only slow it down. They cannot stop it or eliminate it. Also lockdowns are most effective the first time you do them, and then they’re the most effective in the first few weeks.

Impose a heavy lockdown too soon, and it’s like using up your most powerful ammunition before the enemy is in effective range of your weapons. Letting the enemy get closer might mean accepting casualties early on, but fewer casualties overall and a better chance of victory. It’s a hard, painful choice to have to take.
Maybe China will emerge as the winner because they kept the number of victims down, just like the US emerged as the winner of WW2 after its industry was spared destruction by bombing.
It might not be the most useful answer given the context of your question. But in my experience the thing that made the best courses stand out were the depth of understanding of the instructor and their basic didactic skills. Are they able to explain the concepts clearly to a novice student? Are they able to structure the course into a logical progression of topics?

To me, what I consider to be secondary aspects such as interactive quizzes or homework assignments never really made a difference. One thing I noticed that really did not work well for me was asking quiz questions in between that did not require understanding just memorization of what was just said 30 seconds ago. It's like you're checking if they're paying attention v.s. are grasping underlying concepts.

I would recommend you check out CS50 by David Malan (if you haven't already) as it's somewhat of a gold standard for MOOCs in my book.

Good luck with your MOOC! The world needs more of them, make sure you make them as publicly accessible as possible.
From Italy, don't trust the Italian media, they are the first that are making so much fuss and wrecking chaos, and especially making quite some money because as an industry it was starving for some time.

And the people at the government are mostly old farts, which says quite a lot why they panic.
And they did it all without closing their airports!

What mostly helped was lack of mainland Chinese people entering the country. Also Taiwanese wear their face masks religiously and are used to obeying the rules set by the government.

Finally (AFAIK) they have a very good health care system which handled the cases quickly and efficiently.
It does not happen “for the duration of the summer”, it is usually only for a few weeks and in a few locations (which, coincidentally, have a high percentage of Middle Eastern expats.). You do not see Ferraris cruising through Shoreditch and with the exception of one douche who drives a gold Lambo down my road every weekend as he heads off somewhere to show it off I have never seen one of these cars actually being driven. Parked near Harrods or Green Park begging for attention, yes. Driving around? No.

We've seen many of these tools and they are all flawed in the same way.

- Setting the master password to something insecure will undermine the security of all derived passwords. The same thing can be said for traditional password managers but they at least do not correlate the master password to all other service passwords.

- Master key is related to the generated passwords. Using a strong PBKDF this should not be a problem, but why take the risk?

- Leaked passwords cannot be changed.

- There are enough services which generate you a password and then only later lets you change it.

- Cannot store PIN, ID, CVV, files etc.
Taiwan isn't small (~20M) and managed to handle it better than the two you mentioned.

Being an island is definitely a contributing factor though.
Wowsa.. You had it worse.

I had a "swallowing coach" who was a doppelganger for David Mitchell. The WILTY guy. The best posh comedian. And yes, a swallowing coach is a real thing. I was charged 600 a hour for him to watch me eat pudding and be taught how to gargle water. This was actually really important. The radiation killed my ability to swallow. Every muscle in my neck died.I knew I was fucked when I couldn't swallow a pill.

Funny thing is I had to use the blue box (Kraft Dinner, Mac and Cheese) to get my throat working again. I started with noodles that were cooked for 15 minutes and were mush. And I slowly worked my way to Al dente. To get my throat to open up again. I was threatened with them putting a balloon down my throat and inflating and deflating it over and over and over again to work out my neck muscles enough to swallow. I hate the endoscope so the balloon is my worst nightmare. My muse. But the blue box worked. A have to add a lot of milk since I don't really produce saliva anymore. Permanent dry-mouth has been the worst thing about my year of horror.

This is why I quit my computer job and started doing woodworking for a living. I make less but actually enjoy woodworking. When I was deep in radiation and chemo I got a bunch of credit cards and outfitted a nice workshop. I was pretty sure I wouldn't have to actually pay back the debt, because I would be dead. But I am still here. So fuck..
I'm also a fan of Bitwarden. It's e2e encrypted, so they never get to see yr password. The Browser plugins are opensource and an open source server impl exists (but since it's e2e is not essential for security).
Then there's SHARC with its 32-bit char.

Do architectures like that have non-freestanding C implementations, though? It's kinda moot if there's no getchar()...

> People eat beans for decades. Why should this be an experiment?

People also eat donuts for decades, that means nothing.

People didn't eat beans for hundreds of thousands of years. They're not a "natural" part of the diet. They contain poorly researched plant toxins and anti-nutrients, which can are known to cause issues in sensitive people.

Can you "mitigate" the problem with proper preparation? Apparently, but that doesn't mean we know they are actually healthy as opposed to "sustainable". Populations across the world which have no choice but to rely on grains and legumes as a staple do suffer from malnutrition.

> In observational studies „anti-nutrients“ are mostly associated with better health outcomes.

Observational studies are mostly useless, because anybody who buys into "legumes are healthy" will focus on living a healthy life in other aspects as well. As I said, swapping in legumes in place of donuts is going to be a benefit. That doesn't mean it's optimal.
Pox parties are forced infection. Children do not choose to go or understand what is being done to them. Their parents exert power over them to make it happen.

You can argue about the morality of it, but the analogy with adults voluntarily getting infected is false.
I don't think you've followed this argument to its logical conclusion. Taiwan started acting on the 31st of December because they didn't believe a word coming out the Chinese government's mouth. They haven't been hit like a sledgehammer even though they usually have huge flows of Chinese people travelling because they promptly rounded up and quarantined travellers from the affected regions and their close contacts back when China was falsely claiming it was a small outbreak with no evidence of person-to-person transmission, and then locked down travel entirely over the objections of China and the WHO which insisted doing so was racist and counterproductive. Any delays by other 1st world countries after 31st Dec are therefore largely their own fault for believing a word coming from of a totalitarian dictatorship with a long history of cover-ups and their parrots over at the WHO.

A Gentle Introduction to Doc2Vec
Your answer was that you don't know through. You just assume that the information would be easy to obtain by calling to hospital. (Which is not a way to distribute information many people need simultaneously anyway, even if it worked).

Multiple people who called ended up being sent (or told to call) from one place to another.They after series of calls ended up being told they cant get tested due to rules on who is being tested being quite strict.

It is not the case of "call your doctor and they will know and give you straight clear information". It might become that case after a while, but afaik it is not that way now.
It should be noted that Remdesivir is already being actively given to patients in critical/severe state in several EU countries.

France is clearly pushing Remdesivir while others seem to consider it mainly for severe to critical cases. Surprisingly France is also somewhat dropping the cheap chloroquine option in favor of Remdesivir and Lopinavir/ritonavir.
