There’s nothing hilarious about the situation, and your friends without shifts are exactly what OP was concerned about. There are hundreds of thousands of households relying on March Madness pay they won’t be getting. When I read your comment, it seems to me overly jerk-ish for no reason.
A ton of warez groups (even a lot of P2P ones) already have a Widewine exploit that works for >=1080p anyway, some groups (BLUTONiUM, PETRiFiED ++) even have a 2160p exploit.

It's actually quite amazing that the 1080p exploit hasn't leaked and been patched yet, considering how widespread it is.
The decision isn't to either get it now or not at all. The decision if you'd like to get it now or later.

If you decide to get it now, you probably have a job. If you decide to get it later, you quite possibly don't.
You act like we aren't capable of doing two things at once.

Sorry, I am perfectly capable of acting while still pointing my finger at the people who are actively trying to make this worse.

Maybe you can afford to play kum-bay-yah but perhaps it's not your life or the lives of your loved ones which have been doomed by this ineptitude. Civility is poison to irrational discourse.

I downvoted because I disagree with the way they are arguing.

The gp's(grandposter) comment uses the word companies. Which companies? Well we're talking about the US and health care so it has gotta be the health insurance companies? No, the bill Lamar disagreed with was to make employer's provide sick time to their employees.

Also, pp(parentposter) is what I use. OP is reserved for poster of the content.

In general I agree with you, but in this case I'm hoping he stops at one product, because it looks like he is inclined to create products that can potentially hurt society a lot.
Yeah, it's just interesting that in many ways it seems like the "budget Pixel" will actually be superior to the non-budget version: a bezel-less design (at least, according to many of the current leaks) because they aren't shipping the generally-pointless Soli hardware, and likely much improved battery life because they aren't shipping a 90hz screen (that the Pixel 4 couldn't handle anyway and has had to keep software-locked to 60hz half the time just to make it through the day on a single charge). The outdated, lopsided design and the anemic battery life were two of the most-disliked features in critic reviews of the 4; interesting that the 4a will basically be a better version of the 4, with the exception of missing the telephoto camera and (probably) lack of waterproofing.

Responding to critical feedback is a good and sensible thing to do. But ideally you would be able to get feedback on large issues internally, without needing the market to reject your product (Pixel 4 sales have been reported to be quite low): Soli seems so clearly useless, and caused such obvious product design tradeoffs, that I'm curious what led to it shipping in the first place. Was it an exec who was excited about Soli pushing it through? Was there a design/engineering communication breakdown? Would be very interesting to be a fly on the wall in the retro.

That's a naive view. Depends who's learning. Is C++ their 5th language and they know how to read resulting assembly? Is it their first experience at 10yo and they're struggling with what variables and types are? Anywhere in between?

It was my understanding that GP's main concern was the service shutting down should his internet fail, and not one of privacy.
No, the way this works is this (as I understand it): I'm a bank, I need some cash to operate (people withdrawing money, trading, making payments, etc.), but I have no cash. I have $10B in US Treasury bonds, but - well, they're notionally worth $10B, but nobody want to exchange them for money, because noone else has money to spare (i.e. liquidity crisis). So here comes the Fed, takes my $10B in bonds, gives me $10B of cash so that I can run my business... In a week or so, I need to return $10B in cash, I get my $10B in bonds back ("collateral") and the cycle continues again.

The alternative is, the bank collapsing, taking some part of the economy with it.
I agree, it’s one of the things about pandemics I hadn’t realized, at all. Other disasters and emergency situations still have their bread and circuses, and I miss it.
From the paper:

> Virus stability in aerosols was determined as described previously at 65% relative humidity (RH) and 21-23°C. In short, aerosols (<5 µm) containing HCoV-19 (105.25 TCID50/mL) or SARS-CoV-1 (106.75-7 TCID50/mL) were generated using a 3-jet Collison nebulizer and fed into a Goldberg drum to create an aerosolized environment. Aerosols were maintained in the Goldberg drum and samples were collected at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes post-aerosolization on a 47mm gelatin filter (Sartorius). Filters were dissolved in 10 mL of DMEM containing 10% FBS. Three replicate experiments were performed.

Advaita Vedanta is the keyword to use for most modern day, Neoplatonistic Hindu philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaita_Vedanta

My understanding is that, although this teaching was technically formulated in the 8th century AD, it became popular and gained widespread resurgence in the West around 19th century. Hare Krishna movement and Theosophical Society come to mind.

My guess, as a hobbyist historian, is that most everyday Hindus practiced normal, layperson devotions to humanized gods rather than truly believing in a universal soul that underlies the entire universe.

Basically, any time someone tells you that Indians and Chinese people believe in "philosophy" rather than "religion", they are probably bringing in a Western orientalist bias. Actually, unsurprisingly, Eastern people are actually just religious. There is no woke philosophy going on except for the elite scholars and religious monks.
You guys missed the point of my post. GP was saying that he found it reprehensible to make calculations on human life. My point was that he had already made such a calculation, implicitly. The value of a stranger to him is exactly worth however % income decrease he's willing to take + % increase in tax. Everyone makes this calculation every day.

It's very unlikely that Biden will take significantly more steps to deal with climate change than Trump will.

> Which would be entirely normal for a guy from Manchester. My two front teeth are different shapes and sizes too. We don't really do "cosmetic dentistry" here in the UK, certainly not to the extent it's practised in the US.

Is your face perfectly conformant as well? And your pupils inconsistent sized?

The point of the article isn't that any one of these features is unusual or worth calling out, it's that few people share all the characteristics of an AI generated face.

FWIW, My teeth are a bit irregular and my face might match the eye/ mouth placement from an AI generated face, but my ears and pupils are fine.
This applies not just to CEOs, but political leaders too.

Even Churchil, considered a hero in Britain after WWII, lost the next election badly to Atlee, as people were looking for a peacetime leader.

The good thing is Atlee setup the NHS. So I guess peacetime leaders are important after war.
I 100% disagree. Mainstream people ask tech savvy people to help all the time. And, importantly, paid-for cloud services should IMO also make their services available over sftp. Not doing so is a large contributing reason I don't use those services.

The view you are suggesting works, in the sense that it is logically consistent.

However, I very much doubt that this is the calculation that went through very many people's heads, say, 3 weeks ago.

I think proof of this is that in all places that have substantial outbreaks, containment measures are getting heavier and heavier with increasing numbers of cases. If that's what you were going to do anyway, then the sum cost (in money, time, human effort) would have been lower if you had started earlier. This is because exponential growth with a factor of 1.33 is still manageable if you have 10 cases, but turns into an overwhelming tsunami if you have 10000.

Your country (whichever one it is) doesn't have enough ICU beds for 10% of people over 70 -- it probably has orders of magnitude fewer available beds -- and note that people who don't die can still end up in hospital for weeks and requiring a respirator, increasing that percentage of beds required.

My amateur understanding is that accelerated contagion of COVID-19 will destroy your country's health infrastructure, and then many people who don't have COVID-19 will start dying too because healthcare can't reach them. That's why delaying infection is so valuable. It's not just about the direct symptoms that most people get.
Does it feel like I’m arguing that point? I’m not.

Speculation is by definition gambling. Investing is also speculation. You have a thesis, and you make returns if that plays out. You lose capital when you are wrong.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "insiders" - most of the world can purchase Bitcoin, the software is OSS, the network inspectable, and the evolving thesis and narrative is fully available online.

Bitcoin is the people's money.

It's not the fatality rate you need to look at but the R0 and transmission mechanisms.

The bad-case version of this isn't people dying in the streets of the virus, it's people dying needlessly (some in the streets) of preventable things because the healthcare system is completely log jammed and there are literally no more beds and no more staff available. This basically what Italy is staring at, currently.

"It's like a rather bad influenza."

This is quite likely dangerously obtuse; we won't know for sure for a while.
Is there any map of the spread within Italy (or any other country) region wise, so that one could see how effected different regions are, and how region wise quarantined have worked.
But "cyber" already means cybersex? I mean, that's what I think of when I hear Cyber Monday, Cyber Security, etc.
Child mortality is the least of it, however. You have to consider what the world is going to be like in 20,30 and 40 years from now and factor that into your decision. You have to consider what you'd be asking them to live through.

Bringing children into this world isn't doing them any favors; at all.
Someone sick walks into a building with central air/heating without HEPA filtration or sterilization, walk past a return vent, and the virus gets sucked in and sent out throughout the whole building.
My comment was directed at age structure of population accounting for difference in mortality, complicated by effective collapse of medical care in certain regions of Italy that meant severe cases that could have been managed because critical and then fatal without ventilation support.
Those limits only apply to certain languages. In typescript you can keep functions private to a module, and in functional languages you would likely return a new object instead of mutating the existing ones. Heck even in C you can enforce privacy without needing a class -- only expose certain functions in the header and pass around handles instead of the data structure directly
Thank you! I guess I should not have said that as we have not looked into all the nuances yet (some of which you mentioned), but we have taken many extra steps to design the product/architecture with the main principles in mind from the beginning. For example, what we store, how we store them, allowing users to have control of their data (as an example, as I mentioned in another response, we allow users to delete the alerts and when they delete an alert, we permanently delete the corresponding video clip), and of course if a users decides to delete their account, we permanently delete all of their data.
Can you effectively disinfect porous materials like paper and cardboard?
My guess is that during a pandemic and a state of emergency, the law is different.

I also think they’re attempting to communicate the seriousness of the situation.
I don't understand how this can be true and the R0 is somewhere in the 2-4 range as some are reporting. It seems like it would be incredibly easy to spread if someone can go days without knowing they have the virus and the virus can live for days on any surface they touch.
Is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you acting this way? Take a good look at yourself and ponder if this is the best version of yourself you are capable of.
Yes it is, because they have to pay the money back...

The money they make isn't "fake" in some sense, like you're making it out to be. It's real utility that they have generated by providing liquidity. Loaning money is not a get rich quick scheme. There is risk involved.
It can be. There's a criminal investigation of the cult's leadership ongoing.

Now you’re just being intriguing... I have to know now.
Slight tangent, but the excessive focus on tests is misguided. The tests give us more data but make little difference unless they are used to rapidly trace outbreaks and quarantine entire areas, which just has not happened. And with something this viral, its only a matter of time before it spreads everywhere.

The focus needs to be on slowing the spread and treatment.

The treatment is about supporting the body while it fights the virus, and highly dependent on how & where the virus manifests. Some need oxygen therapy, some need antivirals, some even need lung transplants. In cases where the virus affects other organs, totally different treatment applies. The resource constraint there is general medical capacity - doctors, beds, ICUs, oxygen support, and probably a hundred other things.
I went to Disneyland this past weekend expecting people to have already cancelled their trips, and it was as crowded as I had ever seen it.

With events with much fewer people shutting down, I was wondering when Disneyland would - they see upwards of 50k people per day, many international travelers. It makes sense for the park to be crowded as most folks plan these trips months in advance, so a cancellation is not something folks will do unless under huge duress.

That Disney is making this move, and not a federal or state agency is impressive, but also depressing.
The categorization of life and non-life is the first step in taxonomy, which was historically based on long property checklists. I think it may be more the case that advances in biology have changed the science. The emphasis moved from stamp collecting to modelling as we acquired better tools and a deeper understanding of biological processes. Education just got left behind.
> We should do everything we can to protect the elderly and ill, but a disease that is so mild that 85% of people over 80 still survive it, it doesn't strike me as something worth tanking the global economy over. If you're middle-aged or younger and you drive to work, travel internationally, drink alcohol, etc., you've taken similar risks as COVID-19 poses to you.

You're wrong, though. Regardless of how dismissive you want to be about people getting the virus, they are going to have symptoms that make them seek treatment. the system cannot accommodate large numbers of people seeking treatment.

No one is going to "keep calm" when they feel severely ill, they're going to rightly seek help from doctors. The crisis is when lots of people seek that help at once. We are trying to prevent that and it's worth it!

If the US economy takes a shit, it's going to be because the government is offering no financial help whatsoever to the people who are going to be destitute when they miss work.
Ask HN: As an HN user, how is your reaction to the pandemic different?
I'm thinking in these trying times, there should be a middle ground where people can make rational decisions instead of having panic reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic and the stock market crash.

How have you adopted to the new situation? Do you stockpile groceries? How do you adjust to mandatory remote-work?

Your comments are much appreciated as I'm sure many HN users have the same questions.

It doesn't when there's a functioning non overloaded health system. Italy's health system despite all the lockdown measures is barely functioning at this point (and can't stay in this state for long). Without efforts to slow transmission the death rate goes up a lot as anyone who'd need hospitalization is as good as dead.

edit: And once your health system collapses anyone who needs hospitalization for any reason is in trouble.
So are you saying it would be just fine if the vast majority of people had the mistaken scientific belief that the clitoris is much smaller than it really is?

I just want to say that it's good that you're listening to people here, but at the end of the day you have to go with what's pragmatic for your business.
Thanks for posting this. As someone in public health research, I really appreciate being able to get as close as possible to empirical findings about corona. It helps me deal both rationally and emotionally with the crisis. Obviously "it's just a preprint", but this is great to have -- leagues better than a watered-down and panicked-up version from cross-eyed cable news hosts.

I've found that the major scientific and biomedical research journals - the BMJ, the Lancet, the NEJM, JAMA, Science, Nature - collectively have some of the best stuff on coronavirus out there. It's not as fast as the news, but it's a hell of a lot more rigorous.
Why would you forgive student loans? That way you reward incompetence. Instead, you should give each young person $300k - some would repay their student loans, others (who were more prudent with their choice of education) would have down-payment for a house or something... Forgiving just the student loans would create massive perverse incentives.

Slack in a small company can sometimes give you secret information about in inner workings of your company. For example, if you notice the number of messages being sent in private threads is increasing while the number of messages being sent in public threads is decreasing, it's a good indicator that there's drama going on.
People in power do and believe what they are told to do and believe. For evidence see the iraq war, the war on terror, etc.

It's on the people in power. If they wanted, they could use the resources at their disposal (media, etc) to change people's opinions almost over-night.

The way they did after 9/11.

It is absolutely on them; and on no one else.
Except we can't test everyone as many people will not want to get tested. Hourly workers without paid sick leave will not get tested if a positive result means they have to not get paid for 14+ days. They cant afford it. Not going to work means their kids don't eat. So they go to work sick and everyone else around them gets it.

The poor without insurance also cannot afford the test or treatment.

Testing is important but providing real benefits to those that are potentially infected will incentivize them to get tested. Otherwise we are going to struggle with getting this contained.
