Yup, clicked through here to see if anyone was talking about this.

I always hear people throwing around things like "the only way is abstinence". As if addiction is a binary thing, and is always caused by "a predisposition to addiction" itself, and can never have any other causes. I think marketing of programs like AA has pushed this narrative, with little to no evidence to back it up.

Until I see a study that definitively shows that any further alcohol consumption after treatment will nearly always devolve back into abuse, I'm not buying it.

Did they keep track of any people who went through any programs (AA or otherwise), and ended up with only occasional consumption without the abuse? Doesn't seem like they even took down any data on this.

I see a sibling comment condescendingly hand-waving these questions away, with no evidence to back it up, and it makes me sad that our ability to treat alcohol abuse is so hobbled by hearsay.

Your proposed alternative is woefully inadequate and doesn't stop the exponential spread of the disease anytime short of most people getting it.

You flat out do need to shut down most things to get the spread rate below 1.0. Cancel all gatherings of people, shut down non-essential businesses, etc. That's all that works.

Hello! We sell to you, the person who runs a warehouse/distribution center. We are trying to augment the functionalities of a receiving coordinator. Instead of using the phone or email to schedule appointments at your distribution center, you can use Terusama. What can we say to make this more clear in the future?

Ask HN: Would data engineering use the JVM if Docker existed in 2000?
This is not a useful question, but for curiosity/fun. Almost all major data engineering frameworks(Hadoop, Storm, Spark, Kafka) use JVM languages, like Java and Scala.

Do you think in an alternate history where docker existed in the early 2000’s, that orgs might have used different implementation languages since the need for a cross platform runtime would have been eliminated?

The measures we're discussing here are intended to help avoid collapse of hospitals due to overload and shortage of staff. A collapse would affect young people too: they couldn't get treatment. Some of them would die as a result. We're talking about a known-effective solution; undisputed within the medical community. The measures are also temporary.

Compare this to the measures we could (and should) bring to bear on the youth problems you mention: The solutions are controversial, often need years to ramp up, with huge costs indefinitely. This is not to say these solutions should not be attempted! Just that you are comparing a temporary hack in a crisis to long-standing problems.

Knowing the inhabitants of a burning building are cancer patients, would that affect your decision to evacuate? After all, you could invest the evacuation effort into treatment instead! And the fire might turn out not so bad, right?
This is not a prohibition on testing to protect the egos of politicians, this is a refusal of authorization for a specific medical practice, because of bureaucracy. They are not being reprimanded for speaking their mind, they are literally being published in the New York Times.

There is no moral equivalence between these two things. Nobody is barred from expressing whatever knowledge they have of the outbreak by anything except their own professional agreements.

No reasonable parallel is drawn between the total suppression of independent expression about an outbreak, and a regulator inflexibly deciding that a clinical professional is not qualified to practice some field.
It's not just that. Before you can prove anything "correct" you need to define what "correct" means. Now you have the meta problem of proving that your definition of "correct" is correct.

It's this really something "general users" want? Outside of tech enthusiasts, people have allergic reaction to upgrades. Not changing software is great for them. They're already clicking "update later" / "try tomorrow" on windows/macos. Even developers in established companies are worried about upgrades. There's lots of documentation to update, standard processes and scripts may stop working. (How many docs and scripts have been invalidated recently by awscli 2.0 dropping "ecr get-login"? That's likely weeks of global productivity lost.)

Even if I'm in a tech enthusiast group, I moved away from rolling distros to fedora - still getting fairly fresh things, but don't have to deal with lots of unnecessary updates installing every day.

I guess you’re being downvoted because it’s an unpopular opinion and/or there’s some historical precedents that “it’s just a feature” (eg Dropbox) doesn’t always hold true.

That said, I can’t see a world where if Dropbox was a startup today, that they wouldn’t either get acquired, or cloned as a good enough native feature, putting them out of business, which is ultimately your point.

No. We knew the R0 of this thing in late January, and we knew, at least approximately, the fatality rate and ICU/ventilation requirement rate, in very early February.

Every single "just the flu bro" type has indirectly killed people since that time, including the WHO Chief and US President. These things should not be forgotten, and consequences should be meted out, lest we doom ourselves to repeat the mistakes of complacency in the future.
It's crass but the implications in demographic shift is interesting to think about.

There are structural problems that China needs to address that would help in the future. For example, the lack of indoor heating in southern China exacerbates flus and sicknesses like this because your immunity system is constantly beat down when it is constantly cold everywhere. China is rich enough now that they can afford to heat southern homes, if not for comfort, then for stuff like this (see https://facilityexecutive.com/2020/02/indoor-humidification-...)! And when the quarantine comes, you have to keep warm at home somehow.

Something that we westerners take for granted and why I would guess the virus won’t propagate as quickly. Long term, these kind of things are more important than shiny sky scrapers and HSRs.

The one thing I dislike about the Python DBAPi spec is the "cursor". Maybe the idea was good when the creators of the spec came up with it, but no other database API exposes a cursor so upfront to the users. When someone new to databases first learns about the Python DBAPI then he will probably think that cursors are something really important, but really - they aren't. Developers just want to fire queries at the database, the cursor is just something between the db connection and the query result. Maybe it is needed to keep the state of query objects, but it should have some other name.

I have been going to AA for a while now, mostly because it is the only type of group meeting regularly available. The part that I cannot come to grips with is not so much the recognition of a higher power, but the fact that you have to believe that you are "powerless" to your addiction. This whole notion of pushing off fault and that you cannot change your behavior without the higher powers intervention is not something I will ever agree with. But group meetings are awesome and effective, and in most areas AA is the only choice, so no wonder AA works.
> "I’d love to see a running tally of the cost of buffer overflows"

Buffer overflows don't even show up in OWASP's list of top 10 vulnerabilities, most of which are language agnostic.

Aside from that, a tally of the cost of buffer overflows is dwarfed by a tally of the cost of CPU cycles, RAM, and other system resources wasted by the inefficiency of safe languages and their ecosystems.
> Then, break the bank on marketing (which is all luxury brands really are anyway these days.)

Maybe to the layperson, but enthusiasts can easily spot the differences between a VW and an Audi and are happy to pay (or not) for it. And no, just because VW and Audi share the MQB platform does not mean they are the same cars. The most notable difference being how VW purposefully gimped their infotainment system so as not to cannibalize Audi sales. There are other obvious differences in terms of build quality and choice of materials (and sometimes they just throw in a new engine, like the RS variants). I would love to have a 5 cylinder engine, and no affordable car is offering that.

> the hellcat. Its not even in the top 20 fastest cars, and most importantly its a loss leader with custom engine work, custom drivetrain, custom paint, etc...that is shared by no model.

It's a drag car, and it's very good at what it was built for. I would never buy a drag car, but I know people that do. If you want a RWD drag car, the Hellcat Redeye is a favorite amongst enthusiasts, and many pay the high asking price for it. The part you're missing is these people buy the car for the engine, so it has to have a custom engine. Naturally aspirated engines are just more fun because they don't have turbo lag and they make an amazing sound that can't be replicated by a 4-banger. Porsche got ridiculed for making a more fuel efficient Cayman using a 4 cylinder engine, and had to go back to offering a larger naturally aspirated version that really doesn't make the car much faster (it doesn't even make more torque) but it does make it more enjoyable. People are paying tens of thousands of dollars more just for the larger engine.

> people want reliable cars with good gas mileage and good performance like the Ford Focus and its ST counterpart which were well executed.

Most people do, but enthusiasts don't. You really can't talk about the two groups as though they're the same, because they almost never want the same things. Once you stop building cars for enthusiasts you end up in Nissan's position (although merging with Renault is definitely the main culprit of their downfall).

Reuters reported today that Coronavirus briefings have been classified to limit information sharing [1]

They've blamed it on Mexicans running over the southern border [2]

They've called it "the flu"

They've kneecapped professionals at every turn (stopped the CDC from reporting how many people have been tested, tried to muzzle Nancy Messonnier for saying a Coronavirus outbreak was inevitable in this country, [3]

They're still asking for cuts to the CDC [4]

The president called the Governor of Washington "a snake" to cut down his credibility, cut off his head of HHS to lie to the public and say tests were available, he's most concerned that the US count of infections will go up if they let the cruise ship passengers on US soil, preferring, presumably, to let them die and infect each other [5]

They overrode CDC's plan to recommend that elderly people and fragile people not get on airplanes [6]

Generally, it is beyond clear that they are most concerned with not looking in control, and giving out mixed messages that will lead to death.

I obviously don’t have your unique and nuanced understanding of the situation, but this seems like a common occurrence with all humans when they lack information.

In my experience when we don’t have information, our group tendencies lean towards filling gaps with the outlandish and dramatic.

Again, I don’t know much about AA but I’d question whether that situational behavior was driven by something unique to AA.

Though, their hostility to atheism is a problem they should have addressed long ago.

> putting a lock on the door as my SO cannot integrate the concept of WFH

I basically had to give up WFH because of this. My family just did not understand at all. And putting a lock on the door is not socially acceptable. If you have a family, especially one of the age to be at home during the workday, it is very difficult to WFH unless they really understand it. A nearby office would have been so much better if I could have managed that.
