To me that's fine. The S&P 500 isn't going to instantly spike back up to 3000. There is real damage being done to corporate bottom lines. The negative growth experienced by companies during a recession compounds into all future earnings -- for the rest of time. So the way I look at it is that the market is pricing all future earnings of companies, and once the volatility has settled it will reach some new baseline that's much lower than the peak, and then continue to grow at a nominal rate, only forward-looking, with no memory of what just happened. It took 4 years for the S&P to reach its previous peak after it bottomed out in 2009. So if you've been holding onto cash, or sold near the 2020 peak, you probably have a lot of time to get back into the market and still end up better off than if you'd bought in a month ago. You don't need to time it perfectly. I can make a lot of money if I do time it correctly, but if I fail to I'm not going to count it a loss.
Many of them don’t, actually: they just use the toolchain that Apple provides, and of course all scripts internally work with the old BSD tools so there’s really no need to install anything else unless you really like vim or GNU coreutils or whatever.

You have to do your own anchoring logic

Or moving logic, as it were... I'm sure I wasn't the only one who has made the "button you can't click"[1] prank application after finding out that UI controls are windows, and can be resized and moved too.

[1] A single window containing a button labeled "CLICK ME", which jumps to a random place every time your mouse approaches it. I have also made a version without the window, or rather the containing window, which has the slightly amusing appearance of a lone button that jumps around the desktop. Labeling it "click me to close" of course makes it even more fun...
My hypothesis is it isn't just elderly. It is people with lung damage already. In the places it had been severe, that happens from exposure to daily air.

My perspective is someone in Seattle that had the worst asthma attack of my adult life a month ago. Literally couldn't breath well enough to talk for about a week with fever several nights. I've now seen my family get all symptoms but the breathing difficulty, fevers included. We can't get tested, as they are still mostly stonewalling. And I would likely be negative, even if I had it, at this point.

So, if I had it, and my family did too, why did I get severely hit, but they did not? Best I can fathom is baseline lung health.

Would love a better hypothesis. Or more tests I can look at.
> assume that number of unreported fatal cases is 0

While I agree with your overall point, I don't believe this is a good assumption. I think some percentage of unreported fatal cases are reported as pneumonia/cardiac arrest/etc.

Do you want containers with a Darwin personality, or Linux? The latter would require either ABI emulation like FreeBSD/SmartOS/WSL1, or virtualization+glue like WSL2 on Windows. Doable, but messy and unlikely from Apple's perspective ("clean" systems, heavily Apple-centric view of the world).
Fair. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...
Well the cruise ship showed 55% of folks being asymptomatic and 80% of the remainder have mild flu like symptoms, and with an R0 of 2-3 for every person you do see get tested positive, there’s a mountain of folks spreading it without symptoms.

This also explains why Korea’s [edit: case fatality] rate is so low and so correlated with their high incidence of testing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of us have already had it. There’s a decent shot this all amounts to a big ol nothing burger.
Right now the bulk (>95%) of this short-term correction is tied directly to COVID-19 total infections + infection-rate data. The parasitic drag on second and third-order (and beyond) economic factors have barely kicked in (i.e. lost productivity from WFH, people without jobs, businesses unable to stay afloat because of credit / liquidity / debt servicing issues, etc). The fundamental value-producing capabilities of most companies are exactly the same as they were two weeks ago. Chick-fil-a can still make the same great sandwich, and AMD can still make the same great chips.

Theoretically if someone released a miracle cure today that could be distributed in 2 weeks, you'd witness the greatest bull rally in the history of the US over this remaining week.

All that to say you don't really need to guess on this one right now. So long as we don't see a flattening/slowing of the US infections curve, markets will continue trending downward as compounding negative impacts/expectations on those 2nd/3rd-order economic effects begin to pile up. For now, the right answer is to stay out of the market.

Over the next 4 weeks you'll have all the data you need to decide if this will return as a monster bull rally or a long-term 2020+ drag on the economy. Keep an eye on your COVID-19 dashboard. As soon as the data starts to flatten out, consider an entry point. (with the caveat it doesn't return in full force based on season - look into the 1918 flu). If infections continue to accelerate though (which they currently are), stay out.

Yes but if you start with complete specs for a well-established production model, as well as complete specs for all the tooling and assembly machines you've got a completely different scenario. If you take experienced machinists off another line to spin it up with consulting from people who are currently building it, I would guess you could do something in six months or so. I mean, IBM built M1 Garands in WWII.
At least in the US, the few the major residential ISP's have a virtual monopoly so wont loose many customers and have proven in the past not to give a $#@ about bad PR.

> my only major showstopper being that valgrind just straight up isn't a thing for recent versions of OS X, with the brew version not compiling on 10.15 or 10.14

Valgrind doesn’t work because nobody has put in the time to make it work on new systems (keeping up with new macOS releases in a timely manner is extremely difficult unless an engineer is pushing for it, and AFAIK anyone who would has left the company or lost interest in doing this). Address sanitizer kind of does some of the same things, so you can try that.
that's what I did. bought a little at -3%, a little more at -6%, a lot more at -9%, lott lot more at -12%, by the time it hit -20%, I'm almost entirly in equities.

I figure, it's better to get into equities than loose everything (in bonds and cash) once the eventual inflation taxes wipe everything out.
No, but they might force them to change their licensing so that running a macOS guest VM on non-Apple hardware is permitted.

> Austen reverses the sentence structure to pack the punch at the end.

> 2 good principles are:

> 1. Put the punch at the end of a sentence.

> 2. Put familiar information at the beginning of a sentence and new information toward the end.

> The passive voice can help you with both of these design goals.

This is true, but another major use of passive voice is to put the punch of the sentence at the beginning. Where you want the punch is a stylistic choice; it's not always best at the end. And passive voice doesn't guarantee anything about where the punch will go -- that depends on which phrases hold the punch.

Phrasing a sentence in passive voice lets you present the pieces in a different order and changes which pieces are required vs. optional. Those are important and useful things to be able to do, but if we always wanted to do them the same way, we wouldn't need multiple options.
As a military guy who has deployed 4 times, including 2 years in Afghanistan, things could be worse. Everything is peachy so long as you have food security and basic utilities.

The real way to get through this isn't by trying to be happy. That is a shallow goal destined to fail. I remember reading about how that actually killed people in the story of Hanoi Hilton from the book Good To Great.

Instead be productive. Build something, write something, or help someone. Stay active. Go jogging or exercise. Set realistic goals, crush them, and then set more goals.

Things could be far worse. The whole world could be crumbling around you. You could be isolated in a holocaust death camp. You could one day lose everything. Bad things happen to good people. As bad as things could get people still find a way to make the best of it. What's important is that you accept the reality that is and how you move forward and stay focused.
Many don't, but many do.
No, it’s been proven in both China and SK state level action can halt the virus. Once the exponentially growing death count is halted, we need to be in a hovering pattern while we search for a potential prophylactic- there are a few clinical trials underway that may bear fruit by summer.
Death is also an easy way to hurt your lungs. I hope nobody is dumb enough to use something like this in place of visiting a hospital, but if hospitals are overrun this is better than nothing.

Nice money grab.
> those are good odds

You are presuming that you are meeting people at random - however you are most likely to meet people with a high number of social interactions, and they are far more likely to catch the virus.

Depending on the social graph, your chances vary, but the chance will clearly be far worse than a crude estimate.
From what I've gathered there is some sort of reputation system in place, such that most users creating accounts from reputable residential ISP IP addresses aren't asked for a phone number, but those creating accounts from Tor/VPNs/datacenters/etc often are.

I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not minimizing the coronavirus here, but the statistics would be lost in the noise. If known statistics are an order of magnitude too low, and there have actually been 800 deaths in the US instead of 80, that's still only about 3% of the total flu deaths this season. And flu seasons vary in intensity by a lot more than 3%.
With some 'smart' circuitry this can be handled automatically: the month ring should have 31 days. But if the month is shorter, the clock would jump automatically to the next month.
That's my inclination as well. Isolate and protect the high-risk people, and let the rest of us get herd immunity quickly. Especially the kids, who are apparently unaffected by this thing. That's the silver lining here.

On the other hand, if you prevent the kids and young healthy people from getting it, you pretty much guarantee a large vector for continuous outbreaks well into the future, which may end up killing far more people in the long run and at a much higher economic cost.

I'm not an epidemiologist, so if anyone here is, please share why this approach isn't getting more consideration.

This is speculation, but I believe this is a vestige of when voice chat applications widely used by PC gamers like TeamSpeak and Ventrilo did actually rely on independent servers, usually paid for and administered by individuals (or guilds/clans).

Back in the bad old days if you wanted to voice chat you had to know someone who could invite you to join a "server" (or set one up yourself), and I think the verbiage just kind of stuck.
Interesting. If you interpret smoking as a type of self-inflicted lung damage, that could explain the higher rate of casualties among smokers as well.
Nice, thanks for linking back to prior blog posts in the past six years!
Not surprising, since mutual information is a fundamentally non-causal concept. This is easily seen by nothing that the mutual information of X and Y is the same as the mutual information of Y and X, which means that mutual information can't distinguish between "X causes Y" and "Y causes X".

This is pretty much a copy-paste what we did here in Czech Republic ~2 days ago, with less stringent stuff gradually comming before that.

As such rules are IMHO quite sensible and effective, it is a good thing others are applying them as well. I guess that could be another reason to act quick on stuff like this - so that others can see this is possible and apply it themselves.
I have been considering other ways to estimate this, and looked at numbers for Singapore, which I believe has particularly strict testing. They show a much lower mortality rate than the other estimates I have heard, but only at n=250. This may also be confounded by wealth/healthcare quality. Does anyone have a decent model of the mortality rate?
This feels...complex. Why the strange app models (uwp, xamarin)? Where is the normal support for just firing this up in any desktop app written in any language? I don’t want to learn about xaml islands or fear that a browser runtime somehow loads into my app. Is this product not for me?

Could be, but not necessarily because coronavirus and flu target the same pool of people.

Those on risk groups had being first filtered (indirectly killed) by the economic scam. People unable to accurately heat their home in winter for example would suffer more pneumonias and having a logical explanation, nobody would care to search for a new virus among those cases.

Increase in coronavirus kills could be mitigated by other previous conditions and masked with a decrease in flu kills (by previous decrease in the pool of posible flu victims).

On the other hand, the virus appearing in Wuhan market was always of problematic explanation.

One hypothese could be that the market was linked with the labs somehow (origin in the labs). I always though this as a possibility worthing to explore.

... but I'm starting to think that another hypothese could be that Wuhan was not the first location, but one of the few places equiped to identify the virus and understand that was something more than a common cold. Virus taxonomy is really expensive, not much people can do it with new viruses and most hospitals will not care to test for just a strain of a common cold.
