My wife is an R.N. and is the clinical care coordinator on a cardiac critical care unit in northern NJ that has been converted to a negative pressure covid-19 unit. They currently have two positives and several suspected under treatment. They do not have enough PPE gear to see every suspected patient using full protection, i.e. gown, goggles, N95 mask, gloves, etc. This is a fact that bothered me much more than her. It's possible to prevent transmission to health care workers without full PPE on every case. See for reference this article currently linked on HN front page: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/keeping-the-coronav.... Naturally I still wish she was wrapped head to toe in antiviral something every time she goes near the place, but my fears are those of a layperson and I have to trust her professional judgement.

Exactly my point. I agree entirely.
Thank you, I appreciate this a a lot.

I'm just trying to make sense of things, same as anybody else. I don't think anybody's fucked either in 9 or 11 days, I actually have a great deal of faith in the United States and yes, I mean it, but bad decisions from high will cause a terrible amount of pain too soon. I just want to wish the US the best because they'll need it now more than any other time, probably in all it's history. I don't think WW2 stressed you as much as you are about to be now. Buckle up yanks and pull together, I believe in you! You will get through this.

Zombie movies are basically this, but with enough disruption everyone becomes desperate and would flee the cities looking anywhere for food.

And when the supply disrupts, the most readily available supply will be ... other humans.

The real danger would be if it stays in a host like bubonic plague, and even if you survive the direct human transmission, it still gets to you...

Also, those death rates were supposedly what native americans suffered when exposed to european diseases.
I don't think I've heard anyone seriously suggest never using a linked list -- the advice usually just ends up being "are you really sure?" which seems appropriate.
not professional advice - just a tinkerer. I find that pre-heating to 450 and dropping it down to 380 for the bulk of the bake is a nice tradeoff between getting that good initial spring against an even bake with a chewy not not overly dry crust.

I also use a 3/8" steel plate to have some leftover heat to transfer to the dough after the door closes..that probably helps

Don't discount the possibility that figures are being massaged in various ways. One is the obvious lack of widespread testing. Another is the reports of people with symptoms being turned away. Then there are the kodokushi[0] numbers which are a clue to how the government already deals with uncomfortable mortality figures - let alone those kudokushi who may die because of the virus - and a over a million deaths a year (I don't know the monthly totals) in which to hide a few hundred (initially) deaths, especially while still in flu season.

In short, I trust the figures here about one step more than ones coming out of China.

At the end of the day, depending on what kind of a person you are, a phone is either just another tool, or that and a status symbol. You could easily make the same analogy for, say, cars for people who use one for commuting. There is no right or wrong in whether you spend $5000, $50,000 or $500,000 on one, but clearly there's a point of reasonable returns somewhere for most people. It's entirely fine if you find value in the higher price point options, doesn't mean it's a reasonable thing to expect everyone to do so.
I think what the GP is saying is that because seatbelts were an added expense, the only way they were ever widely adopted was through legislation, and that distraction-minimizing infotainment systems will have to follow a similar path.

The problem with allocation failure is that it's non-local. Suppose thread A does a huge allocation of several hundred megabytes. The best case scenario is that this allocation fails cleanly; the worst case scenario is that this allocation succeeds but causes a small 1024-byte allocation in an unrelated thread B to fail (and it doesn't have to be multiple threads, this can happen even within a single thread). I don't know of any solution for this problem, other than statically reserving the memory which will be used for each part of the system.

The situation is exactly the same in Norway now, for the same reason: Lack of resources.
For the good part of a century, especially after World Wars, the US president has always been considered the _Leader of the Free World_ without having to be an actual ruler of the world.

When US presidents traveled abroad, they were treated as such by great international leaders and their citizens. Even in nations where all concerned were aware of their shortcomings in the _freedom_ area, the US President as the _Leader of the Free World_ was in their vocabulary. With or without envy or admiration.

Up to and including Obama.

I noticed it was over the way they laugh at Trump.

The role really wasn't his to forfeit, partly because it was rhetorical and largely unearned to begin with.

Most previous Presidents didn't rightfully earn the role either, most kind of inherited it by default.

Trump is just the first one to fail bad enough for his underachievement to fall below the default level.

The accusations were lies, but could we prove it?
Ad hoc tasks quickly become regular tasks though. If your "database" is csv files you're better off figuring out a better way to structure it.

The way things are moving with containers, the idea you're even going to have these utilities on the server, and the idea that the server is writing this stuff to a file system- that's totally changing. So is this useful for local stuff? Maybe, but is Excel probably more useful there?
Right. My hypothesis has been that the virus is showing in all places. Something is marking the places with serious cases.
6 years ago I used to work for a translation agency.We used to get some very confidential (and very interesting) texts from banks.

Compared to C++, Rust's libraries are severely anemic, especially in the areas where C++ is strong at such as collections, algorithms, and metaprogramming constructs such as type traits. Rust's standard library is better than C in certain areas–you identified one, which is dictionaries. (Linked lists are hard to provide a useful, performant API for; it's often better to roll your own–especially in C–than rely on a library to do it for you.) But even without including C's POSIX libraries, Rust seems to be missing things like random number generation. I general, yes, I would probably say that I would prefer Rust's standard library over C's, but it's not huge in any sense and much closer to C's than C++'s. In any case, I came into Rust thinking it would be like C++, and ergonomically it certainly is. But its standard library is nothing like C++'s and this caused me disconcertion until I began treating it like C's, and being happy whenever it provided me anything beyond that rather than disappointed whenever it was missing something I found useful.
I doubt they would do that
> How can you say the mask isn’t helping?

I didn't but I also didn't make the claim that they would help so I suggest we start by getting claimants to back up their claims before we get anyone checking claims to prove negatives.

You'll notice another way to interpret the results is post fasting eating induces more thermogenesis.

There’s not. I’ve been iterating on it personally without any sort of landing page to get the guts of the thing in a decent place and figure out all the workflows.

The University of Illinois requires TOEFL and in person English language interviews before a TA or professor from a foreign country is allowed to teach any section. Students still face similar issues, due to accents and the fact that fluency in a language guarantees that you can convey an idea, not that you can engage listeners and use idioms which translate well.
Agree. I’ve been doing TRF for a couple years now by skipping breakfast. I’ve had great results and compliance is relatively easy. Even if there are some additional benefits by skipping dinner instead, I would never to be able to remain complaint.

With that said, my largest meal of the is usually lunch, and it’s the meal I’ll include carbs if I’m including them that day. Dinner is usually protein and veggies.
That does remind me that I would also like a WSJT port for my iPad as well ;)

My point wasn't about withdrawal ordering. I'm not saying you can't withdraw the direct contributions first without penalty.

I'm saying, the law doesn't care that you left the part you over contributed uninvested, and that it was some other money in the account that grew.

I'm saying, to avoid penalty, you have to withdraw (direct contributions first) equal to [excess * (current value/value at date of excess contribution)].

This amount could be higher or lower than what you contributed, depending on how the existing Roth IRA investments in the account changed in value between the time of excess contribution and the withdrawal.

I don't think variants of this are particularly uncommon, at least in newer cars -- on my Honda Insight, I can hold down a button on my steering wheel to activate Siri.

(Personally, I don't think I find CarPlay any more distracting than any other in-dash screen; I'm not looking down at the car's built-in navigation system any more than I'm looking at Apple Maps on the same screen. But, I also tend to listen to podcasts while driving, so once they're playing and the map destination is set I rarely have much impulse to fiddle with things.)
Me and my family would not be a huge percentage. My kids school? Gets bigger.

I also just was told the Z-Pak I was put on is similar to what treats this. So, really not sure what to think. But my entire office was put sick for the month leading to this. My neighbor is the one that told me about the medicine, since she just finished a round.

So, maybe? Our hospitals are not seeing influxes if severe cases. They are getting swamped from panic and lack of supplies, from what I'm seeing. Not severe cases of people about to die.
It's a good read with a little more color than the Wikipedia piece.
>No study should be male only.

Actually it's better to have the data separated (or parameterized by gender). Just dont take the advice of a male only study/data if you're not male.

This also applies to genetic/racial background which is particularly challenging due to non-binary nature (eg, what percent irish are you? I bet its >0)

Ask HN: Covid-19] recommendations for flow between geographies?
I'm an economist and data scientist working in healthcare research and innovation. I'm reaching out everywhere I know deep thinkers are to help crowdsource ideas.

Currently, I'm estimating supply and demand for hospitalization based on what we know of COVID-19, population, and integrating several models together. One gap I have is getting a reliable way to identify flows between geographies (county, zip, or census tract/blockgroup). Any recommendations would be most welcome!
that's a poor argument. for one, the u.s. has concentration camps as well, just not to that scale. secondly, if one just focuses on these types of arguments, then you ignore all the ways that china is positively surpassing the u.s. their ability to handle infrastructure and crisis like this greatly surpasses the u.s. and other countries. they are logistics and operations experts. the u.s. is flailing about without any shared direction whatsoever.

So I'm going to put you in the "nay" camp regarding the importance of reproducibility[0] in science?

Excerpt:

"The Diamond Age depicts a near-future world revolutionised by advances in nanotechnology, much as Eric Drexler envisioned it in his nonfiction book Engines of Creation (1986). Molecular nanotechnology is omni-present in the novel's world, generally in the form of Matter Compilers and the products that come out of them. The book explicitly recognizes the achievements of several existing nanotechnology researchers: Feynman, Drexler and Merkle are seen among characters of the fresco in Merkle-Hall, where new nanotechnological items are designed and constructed.

The book contains descriptions of various exotic technologies, such as the chevaline (a mechanical horse that can fold up and is light enough to be carried one-handed), and forecasts the use of technologies that are in development today, such as smart paper that can show personalized news headlines. Major cities have immune systems made up of aerostatic defensive micromachines, and public matter compilers provide basic food, blankets, and water for free to anyone who requests them."

People have run Hitachi 68C09Es at 5 MHz. May not sound like much, but the 6809 (which the 6309 is an improved version of) takes fewer clock cycles than Z-80 or 808x take to do similar work. OpenCores has a 6809 core, not cycle accurate, that can run at 40 MHz if I understand the description rightly (https://opencores.org/projects/6809_6309_compatible_core).
Here is a report from a team of epidemiologists at Imperial College, led by Neil Ferguson.

As other commenters have pointed out, the manual data entry this requires makes it pretty onerous in a home kitchen, but I wonder if there's something similar for commercial kitchens? You could possibly integrate with the POS system to track how much of each ingredient should have been used given the dishes sold in a day. Wouldn't be perfect for stuff like flour where you need to adjust based on humidity, but it could give you a general idea of when supplies should run out.
This is my big objection to Tesla's "touch screen for everything" approach. I know Tesla fans love it, but in my modern car (a 2019 Honda Insight), if I want to change the fan speed -- or anything else about the A/C -- I touch a physical button or twist a physical knob.
it's definitely important to distinguish between perfect, typical, and worst case usage scenarios. when I use android auto, I typically set up navigation and a playlist while the vehicle is stationary. (unfortunately I can't usually do this while parked nose-in, because using the backup camera crashes android auto four out of five times in my car.) I have to imagine this is way safer than any kind of intoxicated driving. on the other hand, I'd bet someone dragging google maps around to see the next turn on the highway is just as bad as driving with a BAC around 0.1. it's definitely a flaw in the study that they gave specific instructions to the drivers instead of just observing their natural behavior.

With a virus such as that, perhaps we would actually be allowed to use the treatments that get developed, instead of being told to let people die because "we want to do more studies" forever
If states want to try this kind of thing, I am supportive, because they can learn from each other as laboratories of democracy. But the US federal government is the wrong organization to attempt it. Having them do it causes a loss of the freedoms we won in the 1770's: freedom from control by faraway people running our personal lives (and badly).

I believe we are obligated to help each other (accountable before God), but not by force, nor by doing it in a way that the elected minority decides, because we lose freedoms that way (via taking more our incomes from us, taking and controlling the results of our work). Better to have freedom to do it even better, privately, or as communities, families, states, etc., when & how we so choose. States can decide otherwise, but no fed gov involvement. That is why we have the constitution that we do -- it is important.
