As I understand it, chlorine loss is not a first order process like this. The more concentrated the solution, the shorter the half life.

It may well be that there is a first order effect as well, and the 30 day half-life is a conservative estimate when diluted with worst-case impurities in tap water.

I have been told that this in fact is only really an issue in Quebec. I am not a lawyer, but, I don't believe it's an actual issue elsewhere in Canada.
I have yet to find clear guidance on how to handle perishable food that belongs in my refrigerator or freezer and cannot be left out on its own for a day or two if I lack the cleaning products recommended in the article. Does anyone have any reference material on whether "isolating" such things in my fridge for a period of time might be effective?
Many delivered foods are eaten from the same containers they are delivered in, and many of those containers can't themselves be heated. (plastic doesn't get hot in the microwave and melts in an oven)

You could maybe transfer it to a metal container first?

I'm in exactly the same boat. 40 years old and hate phone calls. But recently I've started to learn that the reason I hate them is because it always feels like I have to "prepare" for them and that's something I'm putting on myself. two things have started to change the way I think about them:
1) being in a call centre job where someone made it policy to stop reading the ticket before calling. this made it feel less important to have all the answers before calling and taught me that my preparation was only effective about 30% of the time. it also taught me how to politely stall or think out loud - the person on the other end in almost all cases is fine with the fact that you are human and don't know the answers immediately.
2) when I left that job I found my way into a completely different role, but one where my manager was a big proponent of making calls when things weren't working. For example if you've sent email after email waiting for someone, pick up the phone and call them - it triggers a completely different response. It's like they remember you're another human and not just a task to be done. You can quickly clarify any concerns or questions they have, and it genuinely helps move things forward. Couple this with lesson one, and not overthinking what I'm going to say it's made a big difference.
I still hate calling, but between those two lessons I've become much less hesitant to pick up the phone because it can really change the course of a relationship or interaction.

Singly linked lists let you do fast immutable list copies on entry into a new function context.

In python, for example let's say:

def f:
arr = [0, 1, 2]
g(arr)
return arr[0]

What does f return? You don't know. It depends on g. If g has other dependencies, and someone changes a deep dependency (or maybe a library changes an implementation) you could completely fuck up the result of f, spooky action at a distance, and all of your code could be hosed.

Languages that default to using linked lists do not have this problem.
Certainly not, and for interpreters it's a trivial port. JITs require more work. I imagine the biggest challenge for uLisp wasn't RISC-V per se, but the very limited amount of data memory on this particular chip (16 KiB IIRC).
That's similarly ludicrous.

Autonomous vehicle IP is enormously more valuable if Google is the sole supplier. The value to Google is significantly less if Google plus multiple competitors have it.

Your claim basically devolves to no harm, no foul, and that's not how our legal system generally works. The attempted theft was of great value.
> Why is washing your hands appropriate

Sadly, it's not entirely clear that washing hands makes a difference either. It might, but it also might not. Michael Ostermholm, director of CIDRAP, explained, 'One of the things, people want to do something. They want to feel like they’re doing something, and so we tell them, “Wash your hands often to prevent this disease.”' [0]

There has been one study showing that SARS-CoV-2 can remain viable, albeit exponentially degraded, for 72 hours on certain hard plastics or metals, in ideal conditions in a laboratory. [1] So there's that.

We don't know whether fomite transmission is possible yet. It's probably not the best idea to spend a lot of time or mental anguish scrubbing and sanitizing everything, but obviously simple easy steps like washing hands with non-antibacterial soap can't hurt.

They don't make a couple hundred bucks. A 99213 established outpatient visit is worth 0.96 work RVUs * $36.0391 Medicare conversion factor = $34.59 for a standard outpatient visit. Even if you add the facility RVU = 0.48 + malpractice RVU 0.08 that is $54.78 for an outpatient visit. To make a couple hundred bucks, you need to do something like placing a stent for someone who is having a heart attack: CPT code 92941 - 12.31 work RVUs = $443.64.

All this information is available online. You can look up the physician fee schedule straight from the CMS. https://www.cms.gov/apps/physician-fee-schedule/search/searc... . Here are the cardiology codes - https://myheart.net/cardiology-coding-center/coronary-interv...

To add an additional data point, doing a heart transplant is 89.50 wRVU * 36.0391 = $3225. I don't think doctors are living as well as you think. CPT code 33945.
Poorly written headline.

This hoarding ventilators needs to stop now. Far worse than buying hand sanitiser. If every ventilator could save a life a week type thing this is nuts. They should put serious consequences like 50% of your wealth and 10 years on jail if you hold, or get someone else to hold a ventilator without directly needing it.

The amazing thing is when you compare this with the history of corporate structures. For much of history after the joint stock ventures were created in the 1600s they were extraordinary one time grants from the king and only for very very risky ventures. Basically they were used to induce businesses that wouldn’t exist but were vital for society. In exchange there was an express charter that laid out the obligations of the firm. There were expectations on how the company would act in society. There were obligations to employees, bond holders, the community etc.
Grades are more inflated at rich school. The presure teachers are under is great. For private school, if parents can get better grades elsewhere they will move them.

The material may be easier in a poor school and an average student can seem amazing compared to a below average student.

The example of why you might want to use foldr instead of foldl is really poorly chosen. It relies on the idea that you don't want to reduce the list. There is even original emphasis on this assumption:

> foldr can possibly save on work if the reducing function is lazy in its second argument, and the result list is not entirely consumed. In fact, foldr can operate on infinite lists this way, while foldl cannot.

And to support the idea, we look at an implementation of map in terms of foldr. But I assume that if you're programming in Haskell and you want to map a function over a list, you'll use map instead of defining an ad-hoc mapped version of your function with foldr. This would be a great example of why, when we're defining map itself, we use foldr instead of foldl. But I wanted to see an example of why I might want to use foldr instead of foldl, not why I might want to reimplement map from scratch. They couldn't imagine a reduction that produced a scalar instead of another vector?

Of course, if you're reducing the list to a scalar, you lose all the benefits this article wants to claim.

We obviously have very different perspectives on this issue. I think given Google's architecture, where a host handles millions of flows and they are all individually keyed, just the key management nightmare alone would be enough to discredit the idea of offloading crypto to an ASIC in a separate box.
Doesn't it also denature proteins very quickly at 99%?

(I ask because I worked a polling precinct on Tuesday and 99% isopropyl was how I disinfected the smartcards that unlocked the BMDs for voters and then got passed back to us; it definitely did not evaporate instantly on those cards).

I'd be interested in knowing whether anyone with expertise on this subject has thoughts on it. The boy is a biochem junior (and in my living room, because of coronavirus) and he doesn't have a firm answer on whether it would or wouldn't work.

Lol yeah. You are probably best off thinking of x-hat as a completely different letter to x, where x-hat is useful because it looks like x, and so you can talk about an object x-hat that has some relation to the object x without losing track of which objects you are talking about.

x-dot and x-tilde are also in the same family and I'm sure there are lots of other symbols that people have put on top of x too.

The number of germs isn't a useful measure. A credit card is probably full of your own germs, while cash comes to you with a representative sample of other peoples' microbiota. A screen could be effectively wiped even for every single customer, or you could wash/disinfect that one fingertip, or use one of the strawberries you are paying for (remember not to eat it).
That's really not true. Whole web frameworks are built strictly around linked list structures that are far more robust, performant and DOS-proof than anything you'll write in your lifetime.

This has been on my mind periodically today because I ordered takeout for lunch for the first time in a couple weeks. Aside from not all takeout foods requiring to be heated thanks to wider options from services like Favor and Uber Eats (deli sandwiches, sushi, salads, etc...), quite often it's food eaten with your hands out of disposable containers/packaging handled by someone else, rather than utensils preventing additional touching of the packaging it came in.
The hoarding of ventilators is what we should be mad at, not them paying to take the tests.

Anyone can spend a couple hundred bucks today and get a grad student at your local university to run a RT-PCR for you. Kits are readily available online, you just need a little know-how.

1. No one is saying "let the people die". Health and safety standards should be raised as we gain more understanding of health risks. My point is that we need to increase the safety standards and health codes at wet markets, beginning first by banning the wildlife trade and bushmeat.

2. Wet markets actually serve an important role in the local economies of markets where supermarkets are not easily accessible. Actually, we still have wet-markets in the US and Europe and we love them. They're called fish markets, where local fishermen sell their daily catch directly consumers, and they would kill and clean animals right in front of buyers. We have no grievances with that, and chefs often recommend them to people. The difference between these wet markets and the ones we see in China is regulated standards, so that's a big area of improvement.
I found pretty much all my work through contracting firms. While employed, I only ever considered offers at current_rate + $25/hr. I noticed after a certain tier of billing rate I got "promoted" from talking to the kind of person that cold calls you asking for a resume to a different tier of salesperson. We're told ego is bad, but ego is a tool. Turn it on when talking to them, and be firm about what you deserve. Once you're off the phone with them you can crank the ego back down to normal so you're not an asshole in daily life.

If you can, find out how much the middle-man company is farming you out for. Let's say you once did a contract through ManPower for ABC company. ABC company needs some labor, and you did a good job, so they reach out to you directly. You should be billing what ManPower billed your time for, not what you billed ManPower.

This is generally only possible to do through smaller businesses. Big corporations typically have contracts where they require you to go through one of their preferred vendors.

I remember taking malaria tables in preparation for a holiday trip to the tropics.

I would have been 12 or 13 years of age and this would have been in mid 70s.

As part of that same preparation I also had 2 jabs (I think for Yellow Fever and Cholera) and if I remember correctly I had to take one malaria tablet a day, for a period of two weeks prior to the start of the trip.

I honestly don't remember any side effects from taking those malaria tablets, but I do remember the 2 days of numbing pain in my arm, which I assumed was caused by the two jabs.
I mean, italy is no longer exponential, China clearly contained their issues. The doom and gloom is somewhat overblown.
There is a middle ground - keep cash as a legal option but put out a general recommendation against it.

Banning people doing things is not a great option. Providing information and encouraging them to do things is reasonable.
As a point of theory, in a highly deflationary scenario the correct response may be for the government to (controllably) print paper. Given the right distribution mechanism debt could be serviced on the freshly printed paper. The effectiveness of such a strategy is dependent on how efficient the mechanism to distribute paper to end debt holders as well as how well monitored the money supply is.

The worst case on such a scenario is that an economy sits on rationing for a period of time, followed by a strong and possibly inflationary demand spike, but businesses and people's balance sheets could be partially paused.

You don't have to culture anything (if we did we might as well just give up). We use PCR to amplify a known section of the viral genome. With the oligo production capacity in this country alone we could synthesize enough primers test everyone in the country 10 times in a couple of days. That is not the limiting reagent. The limit is either sample prep or sample collection. Actually running the amplification shouldn't be a bottleneck, there are hundreds of thousands of thermal cyclers across the country. In my more cynical moments I might say the bottleneck is that some companies might want to make money from all the tests ....

Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for many viruses, including coronaviruses. There's a "new" generation of disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide (search for Clorox or Diversey brand) and they list a 30 second contact time for human coronavirus inactivation. It's an oxidizer like bleach, but like you said degrades to water and oxygen, making it safe and residue-free. I use it regularly to disinfect lab equipment that would get destroyed by bleach.
A respiration device is complete overkill unless you are medically examining the person or in a confined space with people and highly vulnerable.

Catching a Corina virus with less than 15 minutes personal contact is very unlikely and it's extraordinary unlikely to be able to acquire a virion and get it to a host cell just walking past an infected perso on the street.

It's not even clear how infectious the surface to face vector is.
