How would the federal government actually distribute $1000 to every person in America? Every person, or every person who filed a tax return? Every citizen, or noncitizen as well? IRS? State and local distributions?

> "Asked about why India is not testing more, top ICMR official comes up with odd response: more tests may throw up more positive cases, which we may not be able to.. manage?"

THIS IS WRONG TRANSLATION. Please ask a Hindi speaking person and he can verify my translation. What the ICMR official said was this:

"When the population is so high (1.3 billion+) you can't test everyone. I have told people to get tested but some people are so careless that when they do get the report of being tested positive they may not self-quarantine themselves. Out of fear they may not tell others around them. They hid their report. How will I be able to help such people because I have no idea about individual reports (when there are so many of them). The other issue is how do I confirm that the person is giving his personal details correctly? He can get himself tested with a wrong name and then it becomes difficult to follow up. It is not an easy solution to recommend getting every single person tested"

Please before spreading falsehood and panic get it translated from the right person at the very least. DON'T FEAR MONGER. NDTV is a horrible source for gathering information. They twist reality and do not show facts as is. The ICMR official was giving this answer in a totally different context.

See the first comment to the tweet: https://twitter.com/GiriGiriek/status/1239848388767580163

"I don't think testing 1.4 billion is practical. That's an exercise in futility, wasting effort and resources when isolating those with symptoms and their after-care assumes priority. Misleading, panic spreading tweet."

India is a vast country. Not everyone is fluent in all languages. Many just believe the lies spread by Mainstream Media. We, being part of the tech community, should exercise extreme caution when quoting things out of context and mistranslating something that was never said. This doesn't help the cause. I will definitely get this nonsensical tweet reported to the News Broadcasting Standards Authority of India for blatantly misreporting to induce fear and panic. Thanks for bringing this news clipping to my attention.

* `unwrap_or` is better than `or` followed by `unwrap`

* the psutil crate already has hostname info

* the psutil crate doesn't provide an uptime function if you're on a unix system.

* once you setup the hostinfo route, your example says to curl the index

* your docker link is broken
This is the price we pay for outsourcing our manufacturing capabilities. We should have kept in-house manufacturing alive, there is plenty of capacity for it here in the States.
That is because Industry Best Practice these days is to use JIRA, which lumps bugs in with stories and spikes and other agileshit. They must be planned, prioritized, and pointed alongside all the other work. Ceremonies must be done. The idea that they are defects, and that tracking them and their fixes specially is important, tends to be lost.

Yes. Handwriter for 30 years. Hundreds of pages a month of paper, whole workflow around it. No use of color, though.

It took my brain about 13 months after first trying the RM1, failing to transition my workflow to it, setting it aside- then all of a sudden, the crystallization moment, a flash of how it would work. I switched over and haven't looked back.

Re: screen saver- the RM has 4 different power modes- active, then 2 levels of sleep, then off. The last page is visible both in active mode and also in the first level of sleep. The screen goes blank on the second level of sleep, then dark when off. Given the openness of the software I suspect the duration of first level of sleep could be tweaked.

I'm not able to log in on Android. This is what I did:

1. click the install button in Google Play the app

2. open chrome and continue browsing HN

3. come across an HN post that's hosted on GitHub, and click on it

4. When prompted, tell Android that I always want to open GitHub links in the GitHub app

5. When the app opens, tap the sign in button

Expected: a form to enter my username

Actual: app disappears and I'm back at the launcher

Tried this to fix it:

- force quit the app

- clear storage and cache

Didn't work.

What I guess is happening: GitHub app is trying to redirect me to the system browser to log in, but Android intercepts the link as it's on the GitHub.com domain, so should be opened by the GitHub app. But around that time, the GitHub app decides it wants to background itself and wait to be reopened by an intent, once the browser completes the auth process.

Just a guess.
So it turns out the whole "truth" of not needing a mask is because of supply issues that may cause problem to people who need them, i.e the Medical staff.

How about manufacturers of Mask ( 3M ) simply prioritising delivery to medical staff first?

HK, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, the closest to China with way more Chinese visitors has managed to remain under control. And at least their business activities is not a complete halt.

The world could have spent a fraction of the money to make enough mask but instead they are now left with billions of package to save stocks and billions to hand out for those living pay check by pay check.
> I would walk away gladly if I could do it without affecting my team and my employer.

If this is really the case, and you can survive without this job, you should consider walking. Your employer has demonstrated that they do not care about you or others on your team who are being pushed to continue showing up. And your employer, with this kind of approach, does not deserve any of your loyalty.

It's bad that some employers are still pushing people to show up for non-essential work. It's an entirely different level when people are showing up symptomatic, and still being pushed to show up.

Edit: I meant to add, that you'd probably be supporting your team by walking if you can. The more people who walk, the more clear it becomes that the employer is in an untenable position.

Some information (https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/17060) indicates that the problem is related to `atom.config.set`. `linter-ui-default` is one plugin that triggers it.

Are lawyers in Porto really that affordable? That is enticing. I'd love to talk this through just to have a non-actionable idea about the legality of this situation.
That's complete and utter bullshit.

There is not enough capacity to make N95 masks. China retooled entire factories to make enough just for their outbreak.

There's a global shortage of N95 masks. Maybe save your nativism until we're done with this.
As far as I'm aware people in most / all Chinese cities can go get groceries. At least that was the case in Beijing. Not sure about Wuhan itself though.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to.

My point is that you should compare projected number of infections and deaths from COVID-19 to the flu.

If you do, it's clear that this is not just another flu.

I'm not sure what aspect of that will lead to overwhelmed hospital systems and massive deaths.

The advice I've been hearing is that

- if you have COVID-19 symptoms, self isolate (and lots of areas are moving to 'shelter in place' style restrictions in any case)

- if you are in an at-risk population, self isolate

- if you've been in contact with COVID-19, or travelled, self isolate

There is some concern over when to test, mostly because there is a shortage of kits in some places.
I had absolutely zero problems with product studio when I used it from 2008-2011. It was a very 1990s style MDI application, somewhat representing the peak of win32 ux design, short and to the point, and as long as the servers were happy it "just worked".
I study people like the other person who replied to you (whose comment has since been removed).
I think my calculations are correct here

Model Zen+ 2060
Cores 4 1920
Threads 8 1920
Cycles 2.3 1.365
FP64 GFLOPS 2944 163
FP32 GFLOPS 5888 5242
FP16 GFLOPS 11776 10483

So it would kind of make sense yeah. 2060 isn't that strong.

But note: I'm not totally sure on the Zen+ theoretical speeds

There is a difference between recognizing biology, and apps weaponizing it to drive engagement. This is like saying that nicotine releases dopamine so no one can fight cigarettes.

Even disregarding social ideals about listening to people who don’t look like underwear models, the potential for harm is very real - look up Body dysmorphic disorder for the kinds of very real mental health problems this can create in younger generations.

I think given the potential risks, we should have conversations about what this problem is and possible policy solutions. Giving children skewed perceptions of the world, or encoding these kinds of biases about who is worth paying attention to is dangerous.
You're assuming a gradient of only one dimension.
Is there any reason to think that had that kind of manufacturing skills remained in the US that the situation would be better?
Very common in EU unfortunately. Are you in the DACH region as it seems particularly neurotic over employees in general.

Going through the same thing and the excuses to block work from home are comical.

1) It goes against GPDR policy to allow employees to have access to such data at home.

2) How do we ensure the employees are actually working on what we need them to do?

3) How do we ensure they are putting in a full work day?

4) Why should we allow working from home to social distance without knowing if they do the same in their personal time?

Several of these are actually issues they suffer with physical workers because they micro manage and are paranoid that all employees are against management.

If they would realize that if you let good people do what you hire them for you will realize most are very loyal and focused on doing the best for the company.
> My employer will be on the spot (I'm outsourced)

You're weighing your health against your employer's profit. Are you sure you want to do that? I get that there may be an employment issue, but it's not like your career will end. Either you're irreplaceable and you'll be supported through this, or you are in a normal position and there are other similar jobs and employees around.
a) please confirm itself with the health authorities. I have heard very credible reports as well all these last weeks

b) country is more important than EU region. Each country enacted their own rules wether you can decide for yourself to work from home is there is a possibility (Portugal for example both employee and employer can do it unilaterally)
whats the bet that the executive has a "chicken pox party" mentality.... Deciding to get it out of the way in the sphere of their control and making that decision for the workers on their behalf.
Surgical/homemade masks are working only if everybody is wearing them and they just impede transmission from the wearer to other people around. If you are the only person wearing such mask, you might not impede infection by much.
Not sure how well this correlates to revenue lost though. I'm sure there is massive impact, I wouldn't be surprised if there is also a corresponding uptick in takeout orders.

We typically order as close to exactly as much as we will eat. We rarely keep leftovers.

Trash always goes out promptly after the meal is finished. I don't even own a trash can.

Everyone washes hands promptly.

If there was an incident and we feel things are contaminated, we don't keep empty bags, leftover condiments, etc either. If everything is clean, we are willing to keep such things.

I made a dozen good homemade masks in a few hours, and I am inept at sewing. With some practice I could make 200 a day. There's no point to doing so, it would be illegal for me to sell them.

I replaced my pool of failing Kindle DXes with the RM1. Wrote some tools to automate DeDRMing my Kindle books so I have them on the RM1 now.

The ability to notate on PDFs on the RM1 is very valuable.

I do believe these masks are also made in the US, but this situation highlights exactly why a country having its own major manufacturing base is not just an economic need but rather also a national security need. The US needs to invest in itself immediately to rebuild its lost manufacturing base.

In economic terms, under certain definitions and assumptions that are typical under modern economics, a trade war such as the current US-China trade war result in welfare losses. I believe, however, that when national security is taken into account (ie having the ability for the country to rapidly respond to productive capacity needs in a time of crisis), the trade war along with serious investment in expanding industrial capacity is likely net good.
It works for me. How's it failing on your end?

Until the end of the academic year means until June, not until the end of 2020. Although that too is possible in the future, but it's not what this story is saying.

If you drop your sarcastic veneer for a sec, I think in context what the GP said is entirely reasonable.

The panic and uproar around covid-19, while justified to an extent, will lead to a lot of otherwise-healthy, anxiety-ridden people to report to the hospital.

As a shitty anecdote, I remember in university getting really sick, where I was sick for 3-5 weeks straight and ny lungs felt scorched (using that word metaphorically, basically they hurt like a bitch). I didn’t go to the doctor because I never would go to the doctor for anything short of a dislocated shoulder, and there was definitely a period of several days where I had the same thought everyone has: “will I ever get better?”.

I did get better.

I know it’s a shitty anecdote, but the point I want to get across is some “normal” colds/strep/whatever that was can be really crippling, but because people aren’t trained to freak out the way they are with this one, a good portion of people will correctly stay home.
