"As a user I don't want this" is reasonable.

"As a user I don't want this therefore no one else should have it either." is a bit less reasonable, and implies that you don't know what other users want or care about what they need.

There were wide scale reports of authorities using chains and locks to seal individual dwellings on apartment buildings by chaining the metal gates closed.

Semantics are crazy here. This is their new hoax to me means “Democrats are taking this and blowing it out of proportion.” How long did Fox News spin this as a conspiracy and just like the flu and all is well before things got very bad? Where are the test kits? Why was South Korea able to recognize and respond with massive testing early but the US is not? And regarding his China shutdown he was shat on because it was too little too late not because it was considered too extreme. How many weeks or months were people unable to get tested unless they met too strict criteria? How many people came through us customs from Italy during its outbreak without an eyebrow raised or basic questioning? If we want to play Monday morning quarterback had he ordered screening early enough we’d be 10 times better than we are and maybe we could have contained it.
Creating a PostgreSQL procedural language – Part 5 – Returning Results
The US in WW2 was not a planned economy. The government put out contracts, and private capitalist companies delivered the goods. The government did not run industry. Capitalism worked so well the US was able to fight the war in two theaters while also supplying the other Allied nations. The Axis powers got simply overwhelmed by what American capitalism produced.

> or put humans on the moon?

In the 1960s, nope. The Apollo shots cost $288 billion in today's dollars. That kind of money simply wasn't available to any particular corporation back then. It wasn't sustainable by the government, either, as we went to the moon, landed, came back, and then ... oh well. Nobody has been able to justify the cost since.

But today we are seeing capitalism make enormous cost reductions in rockets, and that will change the game completely.

One of them said a few days ago masks and other supplies were stolen from a delivery truck that was broken into as the driver went in to start the delivery to the hospital.

My sense is there's a lot of leakiness in supply of various forms.

My experience is similar to those of others here: it's not really clear there's a substantial increased patient count at the hospitals here, test or not, but supplies are getting scarcer. Maybe other areas of the country or world are creating shortages.

Testing is a mess, but that's a different issue, one maybe more relevant to public health and policies in some ways.
It should really be an argument to have github decentralized as well.

I know the “hub” part is in the name, but there must be a way to have separate legal instances working under different sets of rules. The finance world optimized the hell out of regional rules, we should find the legal equivalent to avoid a single gov. setting the rules for the whole planet.

Up until now it might not have been worth the hassle, I’d argue it has become more important nowadays.

That's not the point though. My gym was closed and everyone's membership was automatically paused, they don't get to keep charging people.

I'm fine with not going to the gym and I'm fine with a lower Netflix quality. But you shouldn't charge me for a service that you're simply not providing anymore.

Netflix should downgrade everyone's plan automatically or just charge them less.
Again it's not Netflix, It's the ISP that are crying because ppl use to much bandwidth.
In the south, we have Oleander. Southern ladies used to put it in British soldiers’ tea to kill them during the revolutionary war.

Have you by any chance heard of the concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_majeure ? You can get out of basically any legal obligation whatsoever if the forces at hand are beyond your control. And COVID certainly is.
Besides, if you test someone and he tests negative, you should ideally keep him isolated for a few days and do the test again (cause he might have just caught the virus and be still below detection threshold). It seems impractical.
I did a ctrl-f to see if anyone had posted anything about testing for antibodies. As I read the symptoms and think back a bit, I am 70/30 I have had it already. I would LOVE to know if I have had it already. I can do so much more for those around me, it would also motivate me to actaully write my scathing review that I have replayed in my head about how much it sucks to not be treated with tussin-x or similar opiate when symptoms were so bad that I had. Instead I just replay it in my mind on occasion.

and if I found out through some kind of antibody test that I have NOT had it, and the thing is worse than the 'non-flu' I had some weeks ago, then dang, that thing is really bad and I'm going to try to stock up on other things that are not readily available.

They are told that they are essential, and that they cannot have time off. Let me make this clear : They are a civilian, entirely.

I SURE hope that those who do indeed get sick from the poor decisions of their employers will have some path available to them legally to make the irresponsibility righted in some way.
Noone is complaining about quality, people are complaining about having to pay for quality they're not getting. Netflix can easily charge everyone the SD package price during this time.
> You get saved from the coronavirus, only to get HIV and die of AIDS. This is not a good trade off either.

Dying from COVID19 in the next few days vs risking HIV and maybe AIDS years or decades later is a pretty obvious choice.
He's right, haha I am in the Bay Area..
This is not "other first world problem", it's an unprecedented situation in which a good chunk of the world's population needs to be kept at home for extended periods of time. Preserving morale is important for preserving social distancing, which is important for dealing with the pandemic.

Not to mention, everyone who isn't on Netflix now is probably videoconferencing. Which also elevates this problem to "important for preserving the economy" level.

What does it take to build those masks from scratch?

We are at roughly 1 out of 100.000 being infected. Until 60% have developed immunity, there is still a long way to go where almost everybody on earth will want to own masks. The need of the hospitals is just the tip of the iceberg.

Is it possible to source the machines and materials now to be ready for production when the wave hits really hard?
He's an adult who plays Animal Crossing, what do you expect.
Yup. Suck it up buttercup because the alternative is a horrific and painful death for you, or your loved ones.
There is a material risk that you are more likely to lose both than just one. I'm sure that having patients share a ventilator increases the risk of death over each having their own. How big that increase is determines whether or not the strategy is valuable.

The ISPs have been under that pressure for decades and dragged their feet because they had monopolies to protect them.

Rebirth of the class system.
Germany is a roasted coffee exporter. They import green coffee beans from developing countries and process them into various coffee products (roasted beans, ground coffee, soluble crystals). Because they are transforming a raw material through an industrial process, they end up with a new product which they sell to the world (export).

What might be confusing is Germany also re-exports green beans to other countries, at a markup. This is a much smaller % compared to the coffee products they export.

Does this clarify things?

There has to be code in place for people switching to cheaper plans. It can’t be that much effort to switch everyone to a cheaper plan. Especially for a huge company like Netflix.

> Spend time and attention on things that matter

Like what? Just because there’s a pandemic doesn’t mean every single person in this world suddenly has tons of important stuff to do.

Some people do. Most don’t. For most people, “things that matter” in the context of this pandemic doesn’t go beyond washing your hands and avoiding social contact.

What do you imagine the opportunity cost of a couple Netflix devs moving people to a cheaper plan to be? Millions of deaths? Ridiculous.
I've had good success with Thinkpads. Many people mistake the carbon fiber for cheap plastic which it definitely is not. They handle Linux very well and have great durability. I've currently got an X1 yoga 4th gen since they're all metal and I like the premium feel, but I've owned many other Thinkpad devices over the years. The X1 series is what you'd be looking at if you want an ultrabook. As an added bonus, companies buy and sell tons of Thinkpads so there's a good used market.
I also don’t understand where this is going:

> coffee growing countries only receive about 8% of the total coffee revenue

If we look at the price of, for example, white flour from the supermarket, it should be immediately obvious that grain farmers are receiving some tiny fraction of the total net value of all baked-goods / pasta / pizza / etc sold annually.

It’s not immediately obvious that this is bad or unfair.

Ask HN: Ideas for App for Current Pandemic
Hi there,

I am a freelance software developer currently in self quarantine(and super bored). I would like to develop an app/platform to help people/government fight the current situation. Do you have any potential ideas? I have a lot of time at hand.
Not true, since it has leap days and leap seconds.
> Will Netflix be understanding and forgiving if pandemic would cut our income, so we wouldn't be capable of paying for subscription and started pirating their originals?

Perhaps. Amazon Videos and Pornhub Premium are both free in Italy, for example. I don't see anything about Netflix being free there, though.
It's not like ISPs could have build and extended their bandwidth over the last years, for example with the 40 €/month my father pays for < 16 MBit internet connection.
I appreciate what's going on at UW regarding this and realize that it must have been a huge amount of work to say the least. However, I'd like to point out that most of what you've described is related to the bureaucracy and paperwork of certified medical procedures. Under ordinary circumstances that's all well and good, but given the severity of the situation it seems like it would have been better to eliminate much of that at least a month ago. Put another way, combat medics don't let someone die just because they're short some official FDA approved widget.

Why keep such detailed records? Barcode it on the way in, run the test, and report the result - forget demographic data and any other paperwork, whoever ordered the test can deal with that.

The supplies for RNA extraction are common and readily available (I think all the raw components are mass produced?), but only specific kits are FDA approved.

Only specific swabs are FDA approved. (https://khn.org/news/as-coronavirus-testing-gears-up-special...)

> the government is considering expanding its recommended testing material options to allow for more general nasal swabs to keep up with the increased testing demand

Standard qPCR machines are incredibly common in both academia and industry and have 96 wells at minimum. The protocol published by the CDC has an 80 minute runtime. That's 1000 tests per day for a _single_ low-end machine.

The US response has been an absolute shitshow of bureaucratic dysfunction as far as I'm concerned, and people will likely end up dead as a direct result.

> I don't see how single page apps invalidate the base concept of separating data, structure, and styling into separate layers, regardless of the format or code language of those layers.

It does not. But using utility-first frameworks like Tailwind doesn't mean you're not separating things. It just means you're not separating things in CSS files. You have the Tailwind setup (which allows you to customize colours, spacings, etc.) and the functionality of whatever component framework you're using. The point is that in the context of SPAs, "styling" (visual presentation) is not limited to CSS.
I'm of the libertarian persuasion too, but I'm really more of what I might refer to as a competitivist, that the government ideally increases competitive exchange of goods services and ideas. Sometimes this means more government services, sometimes less. Regulation is also different from service or resource provision.

In a lot of ways, this crisis was worsened by overregulation. The FDA and CDC to some extent contributed to testing shortages by emphasizing centralized micromanaging of test protocol over test availability. It was entirely preventable.

Many of the crunches we're seeing are due to rent seeking monopolies restricting provider pools and other red tape, that are entirety self inflicted. You're starting to see glimpses of this problem with things like lifting interstate licensing practice constraints, but it's the tip of the iceberg.

US healthcare needs a lot more public support in the form of single payer, etc, but also needs a lot of deregulation.

Libertarianism isn't anarchism either. Healthcare is one of those areas where I think public services makes a lot of sense.
I'm sorry, I understand why you don't like the ICE, but why should they start "randomly" arbitration what can and can't appear on their platform? That's just a massive can of worms nobody wants to open
I think you need to learn the difference between false positives and false negatives. A 50% false positive rate with no false negatives is absolutely better than 50% false negative and positive.

False negatives miss infected people and you fail to quarantine. False positives just mean you quarantine too many.
