as a non-US person, the US can do much more than testing, (which is what most other countries can do). A cure, or a quick vaccine is what matters, testing is just a measure of how bad you are performing. Containment measures are necessary, and they work, but eventually we ll all get the virus, in a vaccine or not

Any search directory for usefull tools (SaaS) needed by businesses?
Is there any unopinionated but somehow spam free (not any unknown buggy new software should be listed there) search directory for SaaS tools useful for different layers of a business? Such as tools for HR, Task Management, Logistics, Chat. Basically a search engine for just software product that solve specific problems.

The South Korean model:

1. Build up testing and contact tracing capabilities.

Throwaway for obvious reasons. It's not only about the pilots, crew, administration, etc. A major airline I am working for will lay off pretty much ~90% of its IT departement within 1 month as well.
Unfortunately SF has failed in civic responsibility already. The crime, homeless, waste and other issues will hit it hard, on top of the high cost of living that affects everyone without a high-paying remote-capable job. SF (and other cities) need to focus on speedy testing and recovery at this point, not more quarantine.

> In one way, QE is an extremely efficient (and very difficult to evade) wealth tax applied proportionally and instantly to any entity that holds USD. It would be very hard to pull that off with traditional taxes.

The government could also just print itself lots of new dollars, it's even more efficient. We don't do that, because the central banks are independent from government, so QE is a roundabout way of allowing government to print more money in a way that doesn't create high inflation expectations in future.

The biggest reason we don't do such taxes though is because they would be extremely distortionary. It's super easy to evade USD cash tax: just don't hold cash, buy stocks or real estate or some other real property. The USD tax will artificially inflate those assets, while at the same time, will require new cash-denominated bonds to be have payouts indexed by inflation.

If you're going to drop links to Reason at me, you should also take a look at https://reason.com/2020/03/11/would-italian-style-lockdowns-... which is less recently published but addresses the question of a "China-like lockdown" more directly, rather than simply looking at questions of "can the government close my favorite bar?" It almost certainly can close the bar, but personal liberties — the freedom to not be under some sort of house arrest — tend to get a lot more scrutiny than commercial activity, for good or for ill. Where specific quarantine powers exist, the language authorizing these quarantines often hinges on whether the persons quarantine are actually a substantial risk to public health; here, we are talking about the freedom of movement of ~7000000 people, due to the (known) infections of approximately 200. Just by these numbers, this is an exercise of quarantine power that is without precedent.

Friends partners family in China were under lockdown for two months as the Chinese got a handle on getting testing up and running. I think the big reason for lock down is to break the transmission chains from a large diffuse network into a bunch of small poorly connected islands. If you do that the disease starts to burn itself out. Uninfected islands stay that way. Infected ones quickly develop heard immunity.

Yeah what a read. The first few paragraphs I thought, hey, good for you SF. Then it became increasingly dystopian as it went on. I certainly agree with all the "advice" they're giving, but it's quite a shocking thing to read as an American. If they were simply advising people to stay inside rather than enforcing it would be fine, and personally I believe that people would listen. I could be wrong though.
You're right, it would require martial law to express this kind of authority. However most people won't be opposing this and the main battle is against uncertainty and lack of information.

Government power is relatively fragile anyway, and in times like these, this kind of notice can settle fears and give people some direction. They'll follow it given the alternative of chaos, and that's all the city needs.

> I wish. With 10 users you have 102 - 10 = 90 different (unidirectional) data flows.

I don't understand your maths: in a p2p network with 10 clients, each clients ends up having 9(up) + 9(down) streams, with a centralized server, there is still 9 streams to download, but a single upload.

Of course it requires 9 times less upload bandwith with a centralized server (or you get 9 times better quality for the same bandwidth), but as long as you don't have too much clients, p2p works fine.

Keep in mind that for video chat, the biggest issue for QoS are latency and jitter. Using a centralized server won't help on those and if you have a good connection in terms of jitter and latency, you usually don't have throughput problems either.

> And they cannot be monitored centrally (!).

Why ? You definitely can push QoS metrics to a central serverif you want (but this server will have a much lower load to handle than if it had to centralize the video chat themselves)

> On top of that, ISPs care about bandwidth between customers and large services e.g. AWS and don't care about ISP-to-ISP traffic.

And AWS makes you pay a lot for every byte.

While it's true that it's going to be partly played by ear, HVAC repairmen, shipping, and airports are explicitly noted as essential services.
Compared to the authoritarian lockdown happening in China, America certainly isn't ready. But ... I don't think US citizens are willing to give up freedom and be willing to consent to the constant surveillance/monitoring the chinese government employs just to keep one virus at bay. Sure America might not be up to the task but it might be inherent to what the country stands for. Authoritarian and Big Brother oversight do have their benefits after all. We could have prepared better for sure, but unless we want to cross a line, I dont think we will ever be as effective, (nor should we want to be) as countries like China, or the other countries the article mentioned whom employ mass surveillance in its one shining moment to watch over and 'protect' its people.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but what's the argument for that? On its surface, the proclamation that they 'don't deserve to own their property' seems a little draconian to me. What if a repair is required that was unforeseen and not basic?

In this particular case, WinUI's appeal is that it is one UI toolkit that works across development environments and underlying languages.

This means that you can use WinUI from C++ code, or from C# code, or from .... code, rather than having to choose (and learn) a UI toolkit for each development environment.

Whether it will actually play out that way, who knows.

Assuming they want to bother with the paperwork. Maybe that happens in small towns. In NYC as a pedestrian I literally personally see dozens of vehicle infractions daily, and even used to report them. They never get ticketed, and I gave up after the hundredth complaint was closed without a cop even bothering to look to see if the violation was happening.
These are good points.

I agree the lapse in antitrust in the last 20 years has not helped the problem of corporate crime.

To address the offsetting compensation, perhaps harsher penalties. Some level of punishment exceeds the economic value of the crime, maybe that where it needs to be aimed? I agree calibration is hard. We’re currently at zero. I bet the number should be higher.
Overall I enjoy it a lot, it gave me a big productivity boost. Everytime someone talks about Tailwind there is a huge discussion going on here, but I just gave it a try a couple months ago and I really enjoyed it. The thing I love the most is, I can get something going without thinking about what padding to use, how to align things, what color palette to use and all that kind of stuff, while also having all the flexibility to change things at the end. YMMV, but I think you wouldn't lose much by trying that out, the worst case is you spend couple of hours and you don't like it, but a better outcome is you spend couple of hours to save yourself tens of hours, so I think it's a good bet.

> The problem has to do with a run on the bank.

That's not what you're describing:

> All banks are currently reporting negative earnings. Most banks rely on credit, and revenue from said credit. If that breaks down (because people can’t pay). They collapse.

That isn't a bank run; it's not having a hedge against credit default risk.

A bank run would be all of the depositors trying to withdraw cash at the same time. But there's no reason for them to do that because their deposits are insured; even if the bank fails, their money won't go away.

> I think the fed can bail them out. I also think that requires printing money so inflation will be high.

The Fed is already printing money; they restarted quantitative easing along with the latest rate cut. I agree that this will cause inflation--in fact, if the printed money ends up, in effect, guaranteeing people's insured deposits, it will most likely cause more inflation than the previous rounds of QE did, since that money will likely be spent (whereas in those previous rounds of QE most of the printed money just sat in the banks' accounts at the Fed, since the banks were unwilling to lend it out).
Norwegian and it's subsidiaries currently operate a fleet consisting mostly of 737-800, which were being upgraded to 737 MAX 8, with 3 delivered so far. Some subsidiaries have a few 787's, and they did have 30 A321LR on order.

The 787's and the A321LRs are good planes that they could sell, but the 737-800 is an obsolete plane which has a very hard time operating with a profit when competing against the new crop of fuel-efficient narrow bodies. You can't really sell them to anyone for any reasonable amount in the current market. MAX 8's are also hard to get rid off, but for a different reason.
