interesting difference in headlines.

TFA: "drivers at fault"

electrek: "telsa partially at fault"

of special note because, since electrek sounds like an pro-industry site, they have twisted the report headline to be as anti-tesla as they can.

both articles themselves are pretty weak, but the electrek one is at least the better of the two.
Yes, it's mandatory only as of DOCSIS 3.1, and yours seems to be 3.0. (Supposedly it has been "backported" to 3.0, but that obviously would not apply to existing devices certified before that amendment to the spec.)

I am getting is based on their actions and not their words. As we write this they are debating economic stimulus to cut $1200 checks to citizens and more tax cuts to corporations. What this country really needs now is more tests, more protective gear for health care professionals, swift unified action on operating procedures instead of chaos of one state has shelter in place other is doing whatever they want.

The leadership is completely missing. From downplaying the virus (so as to not impact the “roaring geyser of an economy”; cos that’s the only thing that might get him and his part re-elected) to giving money to people (pump the economy - again only thing that makes a case for his and his party’s re-election ). This is personal opinion- I feel the reality is he and certain members of the party don’t give a flying duck about the virus. It’s expected to do damage and they are ok with it as it is what it is and they don’t think this will last more than 3 or 4 months. I feel What is certain for them is this will end and they want the economy to spring back up quickly in time for re-election. I am basing this based on their actions today and in the past not on their words.

At the end of the day you have a con man from the nyc construction market running the show who has a proven record of putting his interests first(he is part of more than 3000 lawsuits - this is him prior to taking office). The industry and market he comes from is one that is of zero sum game. He has zero sum thinking. Blatant liar as record has shown and self promoter who gives him a 10 out of 10 for his handling of this fiasco. Every morning the imbecile comes to tv to tell just one thing how well he is doing and because of that how good the situation is.

Also creating an account just to answer this question gives you zero credibility.
Once upon a time, we had a functioning FCC that was contemplating the difference between content and infrastructure. The goal of an infrastructure business is to provide the best service to end-users. The goal of a content business is to get end-users to look at their stuff.

When you combine the two into one business, that business inevitably increases profits by reducing the quality of all services that do not lead directly to their own content.

Make it illegal for content businesses to own infrastructure businesses (and vice versa) and the need for other market regulations drastically decrease.
It seems highly likely that the US is headed where the whole of Europe is now: over 100,000 positives, over 5,000 deaths. We waited too long for actions like this. It will take a month before we see a drop in cases and deaths

I think the workers are going to be fine. The drivers and conductors have compartments. Station attendants have booths. The subway unions had to deal with the near-constant crime of the 70s and 80s, and didn't really want their workers out interacting with the general public. That turns out to be helpful in this case.
I am looking at their plans (at least how it appears in Europe) and the difference between the plans are:

- video quality

- number of screens

I for example play for both differences. So if they reduce only one for me it is still good.

Their pricing plans are not black and white only about video quality. Each plan increases both video quality and screen numbers.

This is not a very good list. Several items are between "misleading" and "wrong":

1. "Pipe" should be called "bar" (IMO)

2. "Vector norm" is a much deeper idea than just "2-norm" and if you limit yourself to the 2-norm, you will run into problems

3. "Set membership" is not called "epsilon"!

4. I wouldn't describe functions as operating on "pools", but that's just me. ("Pools" seems to imply vector arguments, or at least set arguments, which is not how functions are usually thought of operating, though they are defined that way.)

5. The description of R^2 as "2-D array" is wrong.

6. I've never seen that notation for elementwise multiplication, though that doesn't mean much.

7. I've rarely seen that notation for dot products. Usually the center dot is much more common.

8. Hat is... nonstandard. It has many, many meanings.

There is no law enforcement action being taken for the NY or CA order. They’re relying on “social-pressure” to keep people inside.
At least in the US, this pandemic has really exposed a lot of people's true colors. TP hoarding, hand sanitizer price gouging, ignoring social distancing measures, businesses desperately claiming they're essential so they can keep profiting at the expense of their employees' health. The ugly "I gotta get mine, screw everyone else" attitude is raw and on display for the world to see. Really disappointing to see in the media every day and a bad flex for America.

EDIT: Talk about showing true colors: Someone leaked what's apparently an internal conference call between the company's execs and their store managers, where they're being instructed to keep everything open despite health concerns: https://twitter.com/CAMELOT331/status/1240743954246709265

A month? Wouldn't it be more like 1-2 weeks?
"What if we all shelter in place but hospitals end up overwhelmed anyway? That seems like a real possibility and it kind of makes the argument irrelevant."

There aren't just two modes: Hospitals OK and Hospitals Overwhelmed. The idea behind flattening the curve is to reduce the burden on the hospitals to whatever degree is possible. How is it "irrelevant" if a hospital is 200% over capacity versus 500% over capacity? The people who would die in the worst-case scenario but not in the "flattened" scenario would probably think it is extremely relevant.

This is a pretty ridiculous position and should be embarrassing if you work at Denuvo. Would you buy anti-virus software or any other security product with that claim.

It's both. Ramping up testing which is giving a view into the impact of the previously underestimated exponential growth.

The low CFR rate is simply time. It takes roughly 3 weeks from infection to death. Meaning deaths should be compared with count of infections 2-3 weeks ago to calculate CFR.

Separately, there likely were a number more than died from it previously that didn't get testing because testing was so hard to come by (and the scope of the spread was not yet understood).

If NYC hospitals get overwhelmed like they are possibly on pace to, don't be shocked if you see CFR rise up to 4-5%. Especially as growth in new cases no longer out strip existing (which suppresses naively calculated CFR).

Explained by espiratory physician John Wilson in the article "Coronavirus: what happens to people's lungs when they get Covid-19?"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/20/coronavirus-wh...

"How does the pneumonia develop?

When people with Covid-19 develop a cough and fever, Wilson says this is a result of the infection reaching the respiratory tree – the air passages that conduct air between the lungs and the outside.

He says: “The lining of the respiratory tree becomes injured, causing inflammation. This in turn irritates the nerves in the lining of the airway. Just a speck of dust can stimulate a cough.

“But if this gets worse, it goes past just the lining of the airway and goes to the gas exchange units, which are at the end of the air passages.

“If they become infected they respond by pouring out inflammatory material into the air sacs that are at the bottom of our lungs.”

If the air sacs then become inflamed, Wilson says this causes an “outpouring of inflammatory material [fluid and inflammatory cells] into the lungs and we end up with pneumonia.”

He says lungs that become filled with inflammatory material are unable to get enough oxygen to the bloodstream, reducing the body’s ability to take on oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide.

“That’s the usual cause of death with severe pneumonia,” he says.

I used to think the SATs were fair. Until I found out how much money was being spent on SAT prep. And those expensive prep courses had the potential to increase scores over 100 points.

I took the recommended SAT prep course through my high school. It was 2 weekends of going over material that might be on the exam and a workbook recommended by The College Board. Imagine my surprise going to university and meeting students much richer than I who had multi year SAT prep courses with actual exam questions!

The shelves are only empty because everyone is stockpiling at the same time. There are no food or toiler paper shortages. But the toilet paper truck doesn't come every 2 hours, so if people buy up all the stock they need to wait until the next regularly scheduled shipment arrives.

It's really not much of a problem, beyond the problem people have created by stockpiling too aggressively.
Having spent some time around cancer hospitals, I hope they are asking patients what they want and offer palliative options. Not everyone who has been through enough (esp in and out of hospitals) wants to spend more time in ICUs.

And so to today. As I said yesterday, I find the reports of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine activity against the coronovirus very interesting, but preliminary. There has as yet been no well-controlled trial, and unfortunately the effects seen are still the sort of thing that can look exciting but disappear when you look closely. I mean that. It happens all the time – ask anyone else who does drug research for a living. If this drug isn’t useful, then sending hundreds of millions of people out to swallow all of it that they can find will be a massive waste of time and money, and will actively harm people besides. This is not a benign compound; it should only be taken when you have a solid expectation of benefit, and (saying it again), we don’t yet have that. Better trials are cranking up right now: please, wait for those. The generic drug companies (Teva and Mylan, I’ve seen so far, and there’s this) that are cranking up production are doing the prudent thing – if this reads out well, we’ll need a lot of it. But we’ll need to give it to people who are in bad shape from the viral infection, too, remember that, and I fear that a lot of people around the world are just starting to take it now in hopes of a prophylactic effect, which is (saying it again) a bad idea.

The subway at low usage is probably less likely to get you infected than a Lyft. You can touch basically nothing and stay 4-6 feet away from other people.

>The drivers would be required to wear surgical masks

There's already a shortage of masks for hospitals.

>wash the back seat of the car before each passenger.

You think they'd actually do that rather than getting more fares? Also, don't forget to clean every control in the back, the door handles, the inside door handles, seat belts and probably the air filter.
Thank you for saying this, it's been bothering me for days. Sure all of us computer people can lock ourselves in our houses for long periods of time. Some of us, like me, have already been doing that for years, but there are so many jobs that really are essential to keeping society functional, not just healthcare workers. For example, what about people in the building trades. Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc. If my furnace goes out, it needs to be fixed. Still getting pretty darn cold here at night. I could pretend like I'm camping, but that isn't going to work very well for my 8 month old.

> A Nationwide lockdown might make sense if the goal was to snuff the infection out

The goal needs to be to snuff the infection out. Otherwise, we will be like this for the next year and a half while we wait for the vaccine, which IMO is not acceptable when a little extra short-term sacrifice can get us near eradication inside two months.

Also, even if the curve is mediated by density, it seems clear enough that a lack of density is not going to be sufficient to prevent it from becoming a crisis. The infection is spreading even in less dense cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, and Saint Louis.

What should the government do to these people? Arrest them?

Already there are news headlines saying "US jails begin releasing prisoners to stem Covid-19 infections"[1][2]

and from that article, specifically relating to New York:

"New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Wednesday that city officials will this week identify individuals for release, including people who were arrested for minor crimes and those most vulnerable to infection due to underlying health problems.

"His announcement came hours after a guard and a prisoner tested positive for coronavirus at Rikers Island prison..

"Other New York prisons, such as Sing Sing, have had inmates test positive for coronavirus and one employee for the state's corrections department has died from it."

These prisons are breeding grounds for disease: "sinks often lack soap and hand sanitiser is considered contraband due to its alcohol content", and medical care in US prisons is often atrocious.

So by imprisoning people in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions you might effectively be giving them a death sentence and possibly putting the other inmates at risk from the people that came in from the outside world.

Another good article on the serious vulnerability of prisons during this outbreak: [3]

This virus will be with everyone for 18+ months, the point of the lockdown is allow the Health system to catch up

If you lock down early you irreparably harm the local economy and simply delay a spike instead of "flattening the curve" unless you are willing to except a year long lock down, massive economic depression and the colapse of the US Dollar
We'll see an acceleration of cases, due to accelerated testing. Additionally, there's a 2-3 week period between infection and death for the worst cases, so barring spectacular new treatments, even a reduction in cases will take a few weeks to impact the death rate.
