Ibuprofen, along with paracetamol, is generally considered very safe. All over the world they are prescribed for any kind of pain, fever, inflammation or discomfort. Of course, there are some known side effects, but they are generally considered minor.

Does it make sense that a virus would evolve to favour these conditions? Or is it just an unfortunate coincidence? I guess it depends on whether the virus being "worse" means it helps spread faster, or just compromises the host faster - after all, the virus doesn't gain from killing its host. Also, animals don't get treated with NSAIDs to the same degree, so if nCovid-19 came from a non-human host that's another argument for it being coincidence.
Darn Tough will also replace socks at any point if they develop holes (which is inevitable with wool socks).
I wonder why it took as far as having the actual software running on the machine to fail and have user-facing consequences for them to notice that something was wrong. With all that bragging about how good they are, why didn't they have alerts that would let them know the temperature was higher than normal before it got to a level critical enough to affect software operation?
Absolutely related! This is essentially the same observation that makes Flajolet-Martin and HyperLogLog work - that when comparing counts, the exact low bits of large numbers "matter less" than the low bits of small numbers, so you can store the logarithm of the count. They differ in how they calculate the "incremental log" without storing the real values, based on what they are counting (high-dimensional events vs. high-cardinality sets).
This was a fun story. Could've been told in a more engaging way, but still a good read.

I can't imagine a better way the phrase "bottom of the Google stack" could have been used. That phrase can now be retired.
That seems irrelevant to the present discussion. Most of climate change's worst effects will be several decades, if not a century, down the line. The time scale of the virus crisis is a couple months, the time scale of a recession is usually a couple years.
> they don't have training, and the hospital itself has no plans in place

I have a difficult time grasping this part. It’s not like it’s something completely new. We encounter virus infections every year during flu season. The SARS outbreak was 18 years ago and MERS was 8 years ago. Did we not learn anything from it?

Sure, it was not as severe as SARS-CoV-2, but we should know how to handle it. I agree we should take precautions to stop spreading. But from seeing what is going on around here in EU, I am thinking that the panic is over-inflated and is doing more harm than good. Maybe it takes panic and fear to scare the majority of people into taking all precautions to stop the virus from spreading?
If I was Canadian I'd be really angry knowing my tax money funded this man's career. After reading Murray's previous publications I feel like the world is really unfair and I certainly think less of Social Psychologists and Tulane University and UBC.

Psoriasis, edema, and general purpose malaise.

The psoriasis was bleeding, covered my legs, arms, and entire scalp.

I should have qualified my statement as "Believe, but cannot prove." None of this stuff is simple. (Accept maybe HFCS and calorie restriction.) Of all the things I've tried, it's hard to know which helped most and how. I also take breaks, just to be sure the things I'm doing are actually helping.

Some years later, I have minimal psoriasis and no edema. I no longer take immunosuppressants or do UVB light therapy, but I do still use topical steroids occassionally.

And when I slip from my nutrition plan, I feel like shit and the itchiness resumes.

YMMV. Do what works for you, keep experimenting.
For me the biggest game-changer for online video lectures has been this Chrome plugin that allows for fine-grained control of video speed: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro...

If you have control over the courseware platform used for your course, make sure it uses a compatible video player based on html5 video and not some custom implementation (very rare).

In case video speed controls is not available on your courseware, you can pre-process videos to speed them up to 1.5x using this script (save as `fastervid.sh` and run on video lectures before uploading)

#!/bin/bash
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "usage $0 input_video.mp4"
exit -1
fi

echo "Converting $1 to 1.5x speed..."
ffmpeg -i "$1" -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.6666666666666*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=1.5[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" "tmp-$1"

echo "Delaying audio of $1 by 60ms"
ffmpeg -i "tmp-$1" -itsoffset 0.06 -i "tmp-$1" -map "0:0" -map "1:1" -acodec copy -vcodec copy "faster-$1"

# cleanup temp file

Manufacturing Consent is a good book and I believe most of what's in it, but you should read the parts about the mechanics of it as opposed to assuming there is any unity or conformity in the production of News.

It'd also a bit rich to be cursing at "the Media" for lying as the Executive and his most friendly media outlets just got done trying to play off the global pandemic as a liberal conspiracy nat CPAC.
Disclaimer: Not a virologist.

A virus has to achieve viral entry: it has to find a suitable host cell, and introduce its viral material.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_entry

Whether an aerosol hits your face, or you breathe air with suspended particles containing the virus, the virus has several challenges it needs to overcome (described in the link above). Its success is not guaranteed. An increase in virus particles improves its chance while a decrease improves your chance.

In theory, a single virus particle could achieve its goal.
That PC is only for controlling this machine and no need to be on internet, right? If so, just config the windows firewall to disconnect it from the internet?

One can also monitor the podcast such as "Security Now" to check if the latest windows update processes have any special BSOD or silently / randomly delete all users files/profiles before turn on the update.

Are you referring to the first model? Only 5/5184 solutions are displayed. There's no objective function and the branching is probably defaulting to a simple systematic search with min domain, min value heuristic. If these are the first 5 solutions in the search tree, it's not surprising that nurse 3 keeps getting stuck with back to back shifts (does not work day 3)

As someone specialized in the moral aspects of decision theory I unfortunately find this dubious. Any decision model makes value judgments and trade-offs between them, and normally you would have to elicit those judgments from the decision maker.

I don't understand how this could work without taking the individual value judgments into account, especially since the long-term consequences of home work differ from business to business.
I've written a few useful scripts that everyone should have.

histogram - simply counts each occurrence of a line and then outputs from highest to lowest. I've implemented this program in several different languages for learning purposes. There are practical tricks that one can apply, such as hashing any line longer than the hash itself.

unique - like uniq but doesn't need to have sorted input! again, one can simply hash very long lines to save memory.

datetimes - looks for numbers that might be dates (seconds or milliseconds in certain reasonable ranges) and adds the human readable version of the date as comments to the end of the line they appear in. This is probably my most used script (I work with protocol buffers that often store dates as int64s).

human - reformats numbers into either powers of 2 or powers of 10. inspired obviously by the -h and -H flags from df.

I'm sure I have a few more but if I can't remember them from the top of my head, then they clearly aren't quite as generally useful.

Anyone else have some useful scripts like these?

It wasn’t guaranteeing the initial manufactured volume that was the challenge, it was the continuous orders after the crisis. All the US MBA’s and purchasing departments went back to China-supplied JIT supply chains. To compound the JIT mistake, they ignored the owner when he told them the next time this happens, he’s not risking his business to bail out everyone.

This is a US Federal government-scale public utility problem space. Hand the US factory-based US PPE companies a 35-year contract rolled over once a year. They are to build out capacity in several separate facilities for up to 10% of US population per day, paid entirely by federal taxpayer funds. Train skeleton DOD and DHHS staff on how to maintain and run it, keep key personnel in primary facility on alternating shifts with federal equivalents. Run skeleton output for DoD and social welfare-related consumption. Improvements in primary facility are simultaneously performed in national strategic facilities. Company keeps manufacturing on a JIT basis as they are market-forced to today.

Develop standards and protocols to store the PPE for 30 year durations, and intermixing with normal supplies to keep rotating them. Ideally design some kind of factory-reusable retort pouch, and make the PPE reusable with sufficient treatment, and easy-to-use validation testing. Normally let the factory reman the used-once gear to identify and fix field problems. Set a stockpile goal that gives the strategic factories time to spin up in enough time to fluidly cover a pandemic response.

Then turn around and start contact tracing the JIT decisions, and tell them they have 10 years to clean up their act and lay in stockpiles and best practices. Hold natural persons responsible.

I’m guessing some kind of plan like this is languishing in the now-disbanded CDC pandemic response leadership. Extreme risk planning has been a marked oversight of American-style business leadership, and I see no incentive nor reason it will ever change.

I find "When to Close The Office" with "risk you want to take" set at 1% profoundly disturbing.

Sure, from a company perspective it makes sense: 2 weeks of medical leave for everyone now + a few new hires later. If you multiply it by the risk factor, it may make good business sense.

Yet, if there is an infection, it will spread to their families, and to other people, accelerating the infection spread (and potentially killing orders of magnitude more people than within office). It is irresponsible, to put it mildly.

Nope - counting bloom filters store an exact count of approximate events. This stores approximate counts of exact events.

If you count 5 "abc" and 5 "xyz" in a counting bloom filter, it will always say you had 10 events, but might say they were 10 of the same event.

If you count the same in Morris's structure, it will never confuse the two different sets, but might say one occurred 4 times and the other 8.

Of course, that means you can combine the two, for the benefits and downsides of both - storing very high (and inaccurate) counts of very sparse (and maybe misattributed) event sets.
A key notion is that the maximum capacity of the health care system is limited. Yes everyone will get sick, but we want to keep the total sick at any one time within healthcare limits.

Perhaps not very different, but each problem formulation has its own complication.

For column generation, specifically, the routine that generates the columns incorporates a lot of problem-specific information. The rest of the solver is more general.
The original source for this scaremongering story is the report which you linked in #3 above. This supposed association has received wide coverage in Germany and is being debunked by official sources.

There has simply been a correlation between hypertensive/diabetic patients and graver Covid-19 symptoms. The article speculates that ACE2 inhibitors could be the cause. And Ibuprofen is not an ACE2 inhibitor in the real sense of the term.

If there really were a link, then common blood pressure and diabetes medication would be far more risky than ibuprofen.

However, it should also be noted that women express ACE2 more than men do. And yet women are known to have a lower mortality rate than me with respect to SARS-COV-2.

Correlation does not imply causality and the article is simply an unconfirmed hypothesis.

The difference is the extra attention he's brought on himself. He was just a background scammer before, now he's inserted himself into an ongoing global crisis.

A virologist gives a different view in this thread:

https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/12389469408820060...

Btw, ACE2 expression is decreased in unmedicated diabetics and HTN patients and the elderly which would imply that those groups should have some degree of protection from the virus (ceteris paribus, obviously). In fact that seems to be exactly the opposite of what we see. Some research even indicates that ACE2 could help prevent ARDS-induced lung injury:

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep27911

But in that article the injury wasn't induced by COVID-19 so really we don't know enough yet.

Yes, I understand that application-level exceptions can sometimes be "budgeted for" and a certain amount of them is acceptable.

Hardware metrics on the other hand should IMO be monitored and alerts should be in place for when things go wrong, as the consequences of it could potentially be way more serious.

It sounds like the first tool is "show error counts".

It might have been "production is slower than normal, please investigate"

The most that would have happened is Bell Labs would have shut down the clones. There were already Unix clones in 1979. I worked on Cromix at Cromemco before I worked on Mesa/XDE at Xerox.

If I remember correctly nobody outside Xerox used Mesa or Cedar or any of the other amazing things at Xerox because Xerox never sold them. You must have worked at Xerox.

I went to Apple after Xerox and programmed in C++ using a pretty bad development environment. I certainly missed Mesa's exception handling and development environment. Mesa was missing garbage collection as did C++ at the time.

It really comes down how covid-19 kills people, whether it is by directly attacking the body, or by triggering cytokine release syndrome (CRS).

They were frustrating in pascal because of its original ;-as-separator philosophy. Lightspeed/Think pascal would give you those errors and guide you to a compilable program, but it was still too easy to make that mistake in the first place.
