We should also have a voluntary charitable UBI. Encourage a culture where everybody contributes what they can to the fund, and then all donations are split equally among all citizens. That money won't be subject to the same political pressures; people who donate will feel good about themselves; and the bureaucracy needed to do this would be minimal.

You could couple disinfecting against MRSA with vitamin D production by bombarding patients (and microorganisms) with UV rays.

Also maybe invest in the skin cancer department.
Cool but almost all covid patients who get to a stage where they need ventilation need invasive, mechanical ventilation.

NIV does not allow the lungs to clear fluid and mucus. It also allows the virus to spread via aerosol and infect anyone without full PPE in the vicinity.
I just checked the namebase site: Did I understand the website correctly, that I can only bid on whatever is up for auction, but not put something up myself?

> a ventilator was just one component in the ICU ecosystem.

Yes, the ventilator is a CPAP machine on steriods. The Respiratory Therapist, Intensivist and Critical Care Nursing staff are what actually keeps someone alive. It's not uncommon for one or more of these to have multiple touches per hour for evaluation and adjustment of the parameters, management of other life support, etc.

We need to buy a shit-ton of ventilators and PPE from existing manufacturers and provide relief for the front-line staff who will be using them.

My bicycle has been Ruby on Rails for over 10 years and i think it is hard to beat. most all of the underlying framework is easily inspectable and changeable to suit needs, while still providing sharp knives that one could use to cut themselves if not careful.

But I think this push for "stimulating curiosity" is academic wank. That's not what bicycles of the mind are for - they're tools for building, not naval gazing. It sounds like Mu was built more for ego or prestige than to actually do anything meaningful.

Show me Mu as a bike I want to ride - not as a philosophical introspection on why Mu is in some way superior. Reading this PDF it's clearly more ideal than practical. And while it may be "see through" it's shape, interfaces, interactions and surface area are convoluted and poorly presented.

Maybe I am wrong to expect humanities out of this, but humans are who have to use this stuff/ride these bikes.

Just wanted to boost this. With a range of 1–14 days, it's possible for close to 50% of infections to only incubate for ~1 day, and still have a mean of 5.6 days for incubation. Without knowledge of the distribution, the mean means nothing.
You can buy all kinds of super dangerous stuff in the cleaning aisle of your average supermarket. General availability is no indicator of toxicity. Ok, those are not made for ingestion. But even ignoring that factor you could list alcohol, tobacco and 30 different items from the grab-for-yourself stand at the local supermarket. You could likely kill yourself with just a handful of tablets from there if you knew what you were doing.

For French speakers, a talk yesterday from Didier Raoult who is also testing Chloroquine in France [1] (and I believe who originally discovered the anti-viral benefits of that molecule on certain viruses). He finds that it reduces significantly the viral charge.

He made an interesting point. It appears infected people remain contagious for 3 weeks. Taking this drug allows to significantly reduce this period. The current advice for people who are sick is stay at home and only show up at an hospital if you start having respiratory problems. He thinks a better approach is to get them to get tested quickly, and take a combination of anti-viral drugs. This will likely result in less contagions.

> Remember how we tried to fix the education problem by student loans and how we tried to alleviate the housing burden by mortgage tax deduction and subsidies of interests?

I don't understand how anyone ever thought that making it easier to borrow money would make things with inelastic demand more affordable. People will pay what they must to get food and shelter. If you make tertiary education non-negotiable in getting a job, then people will pay what they must to get an education. If you loan them huge sums then you just reduce price insensitivity and create a massive pricing bubble.
Shameless plug but this is what I wrote murex for. Murex is a "UNIX" shell that's keeps enough similarities with POSIX that you can use it like a Bash REPL with (hopefully) minimal disruption but it breaks from POSIX compatibility where it makes sense. And one significant area it does break compatibility is how it handles structured data formats like JSON, S-Expressions, CSV's, and other tabulated data (to name a few).

It's designed from the ground up to support object manipulation while still retaining compatibility with the UNIX pipeline.

I do this by building a suite of builtin tools that are aware of structured data files (primarily because that information is passed down the pipeline as a data-type) but it still breaks into normal pipeline when forking an external executable.

Not even babies, and of thousands of small children I'm sure there have been those exposed that have all kinds of diseases such as severe asthma, diabetes, heard conditions, cystic fibrosis etc. Luckily it seems that small children either don't contract the illness at all, or do so with little to no symptoms.
I think we’re going to be in for a rough ride.

The mass exodus from Europe is going to bring back a bunch of infected and asymptomatic people to America. Nobody wore a mask, or used gloves, or probably even sanitized their hands. They were just all in one giant Petri dish at JFK.

This, and flights from Seattle have been going on for over a month now, that infected people were already traveling all over the country, and the world.

By the time 1 person is confirmed infected by a test, they have probably already infected 10 to 20 other people, depending on their rate of social interaction, within the past 5 to 14 days. The average number of days before displaying symptoms is about 4 days. And it could go as high as 13 days.

The only way to stay safe is to avoid other people. And when you interact with someone new, it restarts the clock again.

In another week, America might not have 1 Wuhan sized epicenter, instead, it might have 50! And all the people rushing to Costco and Target, to hoard toilet paper, are just going to make things worse. It’s your local Petri dish, from just waiting in line, and re-breathing the same infected air from the recirculating HVAC.

If you can wear a mask in public, I would highly advise you do so. It may be imperfect, but it will at least help block something. This virus is airborne.

Exactly the same.

Considering that antimalarial drugs have positive impact against COVID-19, do you happen to be a carrier of thalassaemia?

Those with the trait of thalassaemia happen to have a better chance not contracting malaria, hence the prevelance around the Mediterranean.
It is weird, this made me immidiately think about Rust: when they tried to solve a "hard problem" in the language, instead of hiding it away, they make it front and center and try to give you a comfortable way of dealing with it — but you cannot ignore it.

A good example would be that functions of the Std library that deal with the Filesystem often return an OsStr instead of the Str/String Rust uses elsewhere. This means you cannot ignore the fact that the stuff the OS gives you might not be valid UTF-8 bytes. All functions that can be interrupted from the outside or fail, return their values wrapped in a Result Type and make you handle it.

I think this is an example of good encapsulation — when something is a hard problem, it doesn't get easy suddenly, there are just clean ways of dealing with it. I learned a lot just by looking at how they did things and reading their explainations why they did it differently than other languages. In fact Rust teaches me so much about programming that it would've been worth to learn for these lessons alone..
Your comment just triggered the box model. Which is what I call my flashbacks about when hasLayout was true or not.
My original comment could probably use an edit or two, but we are actually in agreement.

Some context that was left out, inflation has been stubbornly low this past decade[1]. For many of us, this feels counterintuitive based on our experience with housing, education and healthcare. But as you pointed out, globalization and industrialization has resulted in downward pressure on prices of a wide array of goods. And when you factor housing costs across the entire US population (and not just the high COL areas), the inflation math sort of pencils out[2].

And my original point was that inflation caused by UBI should not be a concern because a) the prices of iPhones and milk are constrained by forces that are beyond the impact of UBI (globalization, hyper-efficient capitalism, etc..) and because b) prices of housing, education, and healthcare have long since untethered themselves from needing to be affordable (so UBI, which largely benefits the working class and poor, will have little impact there).

[1] https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economi...

[2] I disagree with how the Fed has handled monetary policy the past few years. Even if the inflation numbers support their moves, they seem to be willfully ignoring very large bubbles (real estate, VC) forming due to their policies.
> It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system ... The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$0.04. In the United States, it costs about US$5.30 per dose. [1]

That's a little over 132x more expensive. Compared to other common medicines like ibuprofen ($0.04 in the developing world, $0.05 in the USA [2]), what makes chloroquine so uniquely pricey in the USA? (or, I suppose, ibuprofen so uniquely cheap?)

They did that in the Netherlands as well but for all lower schooling, up to about 12years of age, for everyone in 'essential jobs' meaning from healthcare to food distribution center employees to garbage collectors. They closed the schools not for any medical reason (they even said it in the official press conference) but for avoiding mass hysteria, as there was (and still is) no evidence it is required.
I’ve tried minikube, microk8s, the one bundled with Docker Desktop for Windows, k3s and Red Hat CodeReady. Of these I had the best experience with Kind (by far) and the worst experience with CodeReady (also by far).

The thing I like most with Kind: Being inside Docker makes Kind very ephemeral. Every time I start it up I get a fresh cluster. I know where everything is and it doesn’t contaminate my machine.

Since some of the authors are on the thread I would like say thank you. I really appreciated the recent improvements to kubectl-integration and the addition of local storage.

In the future I would like it to be easier to play with pod and network policies, reduced cluster startup time and reduced node image sizes.

Keep up the good work!
Sonomera could help diagnose future Pandemics quicker, starting with COVID-19
A doctor has performed ultrasound scans of his lungs as his coronavirus progresses during isolation at his home in Madrid. As a self-styled ‘ultrasound addict,’ Dr. YALE Tung Chen, a father-of-two, has been tweeting (@yaletung) daily ultrasounds on the state of his lungs, checking for signs of pneumonia, which is the most threatening aspect of the disease. Mild signs have appeared but he says he is feeling better.

Imagine if everyone in the world had access to an affordable handheld ultrasonic device to see within their own bodies, in this case, their lungs, and get a preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 shareable with doctors around the world. This could help fast track the development of a COVID-19 vaccine and raise quicker awareness about the true nature of the virus.

Sonomera (@sonomera), a BioTech startup, is developing an affordable pocket-sized ultrasonic device for sight within the body just as the camera has been for the outside world. This device coupled with our artificial intelligence algorithm can give you a health status update shareable with your family doctor. If we could see inside our own bodies and get a health status update, we could be able to catch the early stages of such pandemics even before their symptoms show.

It is for these reasons and so many more that we want to bring this device into as many hands as possible. With the Sonomera, kids/students worldwide could be better educated about internal body organs by seeing their own and verifying how healthy they are. Pregnant mothers and family members could watch their unborn(s) grow while tracking their health and later show kids clips of them and their personalities while they were still in the womb. Vet doctors could easily diagnose pet/animal diseases in homes or fields.

Together, we can help bring this device into all hands! Thank you all!

Alternatively, we need to find a way to prevent people from exiting the state of being dependent on their labor

Just for the record: This is not something I'm suggesting and I absolutely don't agree with it.

This is part of my mental framework:

Americans are slaves to the grind in part because cheap housing options simply don't exist anymore and our health care system has very serious problems with regards to the financial end of things. Addressing those two issues would give Americans real relief. Instituting UBI in the US without first addressing those things would actively discourage the US from trying to address those issues. If you don't address them, no amount of "free money" fixes our problems.

This is not argument. I just don't want other people to come through here, read what you have said and go "well, that must be what she means and I'm not for a system that denies people leisure time and retirement."
