Introducing social distancing for the entire population comes at huge economic and social cost.

It is more effective to follow these three simple measures:

1. Symptomatic cases stay at home for 7 days

2. All household members of symptomatic cases stay at home for 14 days

3. Social distancing for the over 70 population only

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/s...

Social distancing of the entire population also slows the acquisition of immunity with zero and low risk age groups, which drags the whole situation out months longer.

It might even be logical with the above 3 steps in place for zero/low risk group to deliberately seek out the virus. This grants immunity quicker, and if they become sick, they can receive treatment whilst hospitals are still underwhelmed.

Speaking personally I would happily accept a strain of the virus considered to be low risk, then go into 14 day quarantine, if it meant I could afterwards work and socialise without any lockdown or restriction.
Performance is a Shape Not a Number (2018)
Google and Netflix, at least, have content distributions boxes inside the ISPs (e.g. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en_gb/appliances/)
They have a complete idea, its just that the globalized option is cheaper, even fractions of pennies cheaper, and is directly measured in the profit margin, while the risk, if it shows up at all, is buried in the footnote of a 10-Q or annual report.

Ideas like regionalization and flexible manufacturing are great ideas, in most cases, the capital machinery of factories are relatively easy to replicate and setup (harder than software, but much easier now than any time in the past). However, the economic and accounting system needs to balance out the global employee wage differentials for it to gain any traction.

Tariffs have been hated on economically, in part because the analysis values the generic profit creation over the risk; but it seems like one way to balance wage differentials to encourage de-risking our supply chain. I'm sure there are other maybe better methods?

How does Thimbleweed Park compare with something like Stardew Valley, where the narrative is almost minimal, rather the gameplay is about understanding and manipulating complex interlocking systems. I find that a much more engaging game design that the point and click adventure games I have seen.
It seems like you're pushing back on the CFR, possibly driven by trying to pessimize the need for action.

In the small Italian city of Nembro in Bergamo, 0.6% of their entire population has died in the last 12 days. That's 70 people in a small town of 11,000 — typically there are fewer than 70 deaths every six months. Now we're certainly _overestimating_ the denominator and still getting a number that's larger than the flu. While the numerator is also an overestimate (because it includes deaths not related to COVID-19), their healthcare system is stretched beyond capacity due to the virus leading to difficulties treating all illnesses and traumas.

Virtually every CSS Zengarden site was filled with exact pixel counts and page offsets. As an art project it was neat, but practically speaking it was a disaster.

When I was first learning CSS I was trying to replicate a very easy 3 column layout where the middle column would grow and shrink with the screen and consist of multiple variable sized elements arranged neatly in a column. What should have been one of the most basic layout styles turned out to be quite a challenge to achieve with CSS. I wasn't even trying to have anything fancy like columns that disappear on super narrow screens. Just the most basic three column layout that didn't leave wasted space on the page. In my struggle to get it to work I went to sites like CSS Zengarden to figure out how they did it and was extremely disappointed to discover that they hadn't found the solution either. My thought was it couldn't be difficult because it was so easy to do with tables and literally everybody online was telling me that tables for layout were completely surpassed by CSS. Plus I was working with CSS 2, so any glaring deficiencies like this from CSS 1 would have definitely been fixed by then. I mean this was the point of CSS right? To do layout?
how would the first two be positive?

Extended period without events will weed out firms with responsible supply chains and thus the other type of firms are very likely to be the majority - the majority of the population will depend on them. So Governments will always be forced to bail them out.
Many developers are using Windows or macOS and roll out to Linux servers. HN news has a relatively large number of people that use Linux on the desktop. But if you go to big traditional IT companies, it's mostly Windows and some Mac on the desktop. For people who prefer Linux or deploy to Linux in such environments, WSL and WSL2 are a great improvement over juggling (non-WSL2) VMs.

To clarify, from the page: this is an online career fair that charges recruiters to participate and donates the money to CDP COVID-19 response fund.

<<COVID-19 is an unprecedented situation causing events all over the world to change format or reschedule. Students are being sent home for the semester, and recruiters are on a travel hiatus. We've been hearing from community members that they still are looking for jobs, and not being able to meet recruiters in person is another wrench in the gears. The MLH Career Fest is our way of helping. While we are charging recruiters to participate in order to decrease attrition, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the CDP COVID-19 Response Fund.>>
> Not a higher priority of course. Just keep it going.

Sure, I agree. And if the hospital data is critical, you can already pay an ISP to get guaranteed bandwidth over a VPN between your hospitals. It will cost you dearly but if the best-effort nature of the Internet won't do it for you, you pay.

> Speaking of which... quite a few conferencing solutions are down right now in central Europe.

Isn't that because the backends of those services are overloaded, not because of congestion between networks? That happened to Microsoft Teams, I'm sure it happened to more of them.
> I don’t quite understand how “windows” work on a Mac.

The app and having a window open of that app are decoupled, simple as that. Open up, say, Safari, press Cmd+W to close the window, and Safari will still be open. Press Cmd+N and you'll open a new window. Press Cmd+Q to quit it, regardless of how many windows (including zero) are open.
The problem is, while all this paper shuffling is taking place, state-backed players like Huawei can dominate a market in the interim. Not a good outcome to say the least. I agree that some structural change is needed, but it doesn't have a trivial solution.
You have it the wrong way round, it's a benefit that it makes it more accessible.

Abled people benefit from a system where their browser considers that div as "table-like" in the way content flows through it. Likewise, disabled people benefit from the fact that their screen-readers consider the div as a simple container without imparting any sort of tabular semantics ie expecting some data organized in rows and columns.
A lot of people have responded here - the ICU rates seem very very high for even the young and healthy - which tells me people are going to die as the beds get swamped.

There's already a softening to people's needs in regards to healthcare and the economy - can you imagine the US seriously discussing any form of UBI 3 weeks ago?

While I understand it's going to be a tough hole to get out of, the economic levers seem like they'll be easier to adjust, and are adjustable on a longer timeline, than the acute condition of "not enough beds".
The only truth available is that there are no other truths. We have exactly one truth available to us. (This is a form of epistemological monism.)

Ironically, It's Plato (through Socrates) who says "I know that I know nothing" but it should be fixed to say "I know that I know nothing else"

"the truth that there are no truths is a truth" is a cop out. It can easily be resolved and the statement "I know that I know nothing else" is coherent
People are mostly looking at the death count, which is still very low for a pandemic.

It's hard to convince people to sacrifice so much when they look outside their windows and see nothing special, plus read the news and find that some bomb/earth quake/accident somewhere killed more people in a day than the corona virus in a month.
I tend to use cumulative distribution functions when comparing distributions.

Histograms also tend to be quite easy to manipulate
Yea, this is simply not the case. All of these providers have severs, fiber, and networks all over the EU.
Both of them certainly have their uses, but especially for MATLAB, are they? I'm working as an engineer in academia right now, and even with all the legacy holdover of MATLAB, many people I know (including almost every undergrad project I've helped with) are either using R or Python, and I know I don't go for it unless I'm absolutely forced. And that's nothing to say for the researchers whose eyes light up upon hearing of Julia.

Few of those people seem like they'll be advocates for buying expensive seat licenses if they become PIs down the line or join industry 5-10 years from now.

Mathematica seems a little different because I don't believe there's currently a viable alternative, let alone a commonly used one.
I once posted a honest question and I have to say I felt chilled by the downvotes. I'd have expected votes to reflect a more constructive attitude.
I'm more likely to buy an app then a subscription. I really don't understand why developers that don't deliver substantial content through their app think this model is necessary. It in fact discourages me from even testing the app in the first place.
Indeed, ip is vastly superior. But it took me almost a year of working with internet gateways (i.e as a day job) to let old habits die. Learning the new output format takes time.

I've almost replaced route with "ip route" as well. arp isn't fully replaced yet in muscle memory.

Also, as a comment on the article, ip can now fully replace brctl. (and iw replaces iwconfig and iwlist).

That doesn't help that much for YouTube. There's too much variety of content for a cache to reduce bandwidth usage noticeably.
That's correct! We want to charge folks to make sure they'll show up and are actually committed to doing this, but do it for a good cause - 100% of proceeds are going to that fund.

Maybe a moot point in the current market?
They sure do need to eat. And if the C-levels and the board were thinking ahead, they might have the liquidity to keep those people. Instead they opted for stock buybacks and fat bonuses for themselves. Now they're sitting pretty while all their people are looking at eviction or starvation.

They don't need a bailout. Give the money to the people who actually need it.
Wow, mixing monthly and hourly pricing like that is borderline fraud. Especially when you advertise it as a $8/mo service when the actual price for a typical 160h work month is $215. For the cheapest option. That's 26x the advertised price! At that point, buying an equivalent computer yourself would break even in months. And it'd work without a stable internet connection!

Here in Sweden all taxis advertise the component prices, but the the most prominent price has to be the "Jämförpris" (comparison price), which is the price of a standardized "typical" journey.

And of course this has to use Intercom, in an even more invasive and annoying configuration than usual.

I suppose my only solace is that people have tried this idea before[0], and at least they seem to be well on their way to bankruptcy.

Doesn't Windows download the drivers and/or doesn't your vendor offer driver downloads?

(For Windows itself, you can just download the ISO from Microsoft's website and use the product key that is on the laptop during installation.)

When it comes to drivers, it's one of the reasons why I dislike Windows. I try Windows every now and then, just to see what is happening in that ecosystem. The last time I installed Windows on my NUC, it automatically got the drivers for all the hardware (nice), but with that all kinds of vendor applications that I don't want, some Realtek nonsense and some Intel GPU application.

I was quite surprised by that. On Linux or macOS, I driver is just something that you load into the kernel, but it would never come with applications that I most likely I don't need. The system felt... polluted?
Hahahah it's like people just ignored all the awesome philosophy from radical skeptics.

Max Stirner, the most radical skeptic of them all, is without a doubt a more interesting philosopher than many others one is forced to read. Moreover, contrary to the claim made by the OP - he expects the reader to have read philosophy from other authors.

A radical skeptic like Stirner loves Kant and Hume. Maybe it's because Kant shows that the "thing-in-itself" is unknowable even if it exists and Hume shows us that empirical observation is basically all we have for trying to work with the world. Both show that no one in science has found anything resembling truth
Well, so far judging by deaths / cases on plague.com, we're looking at 4% fatality rate. The average seasonal flu fatality rate is 0.1%. The mortality rate for H1N1 was 0.02%. For Ebola, the average mortality rate is around 50%.

China severely restricted travel and managed to keep the infection rate around 0.008% of their population. We're still in the early stages in the US, with about 0.00269% of the population infected.

In the US, about 8% of the population gets the seasonal flu every year on average. That's about 28 million people. Take 4% of that 28 million people and we'd be looking at 1.12 million people dying from the flu every year if it had the same 4% mortality rate that Covid19 has.

So sheltering in place to limit transmission and keep the number of cases low could save many, many lives.

None of the above estimates take into account the risk we run of running out of hospital beds and ventilators. That would increase the mortality rate.
I don’t doubt that you’ve had problems but e.g. ‘ifconfig bond0.143’ references an ethernet interface that represents vlan 143 on the bonded interface bond0. This sort of setup has worked for at least a decade on Linux for me, probably longer.
This isn't Lotus Notes.

The nice thing about FOSS is there's a property-based guarantee over software development progress. The moment WSL goes embrace-extend-extinguish (and that's far from guaranteed to happen, given Microsoft's benign nature of late), Linux will just continue to do its own thing. It won't just stop existing. The code isn't going anywhere, and you can always host your own mirrors.

And there's always BSD.
The thing about zippers is, YKK is hands down the best and most reliable zipper. Yes I know there are types of zippers, metal coil, molded plastic etc- YKK makes the best of each.

Plenty of companies try to source their own (Levi's is the first to come to mind), but the best companies all use YKK zippers because they know. If it doesn't say YKK on it, it's not a YKK zipper.
I used them in applications developed in C++.

The toolkit is Dear ImGui and I load the TTF font with the simple API AddFontFromMemoryCompressedBase85TTF.

Then when I need a button with an Icon I just use it like this:
if (ImGui::Button(ICON_FIRST, button_sz))
{
}

The trick in C++ was to define the ICON_FIST in this way:

#define ICON_FIRST u8"\uea21"

I can then rescale my interface by simply changing the font size and the icons keep all nice and clean.
It's a shame that Foundation never caught on fire because they were/are way ahead of Bootstrap in these and other areas.

> He constructed his own interface in order to complain about it

Yes, it is contrived, but it faithfully represents many examples I've seen in the real world.

> Also, what's with the REST rant? I don't think I understand how that's linked.

Why not? It's clearly explained. The typical REST API (as opposed to the well designed REST API) is just Active Record over HTTP: /something/:id called in N+1 loops. And this emerges for the same reason as it does in the Active Record pattern; the 'central abstraction' offered by REST is mapping every resource to a URL, as opposed to mapping every row to an object.
Lengthy load times are detrimental to UX. Just look at how people are increasingly less likely to wait for a page to finish loading with every additional second it takes to load [1, 2].

In regards to feedback from users, this is especially true when finding product-market-fit (when an idea actually becomes a business). There’s nothing better than learning what customers who actually use your product want in future releases/improvements. It’s a case of building based off actual demand versus based off a hypothetical in one’s mind (a very common “failing”, i.e. learning experience, for first-time founders). Only when your product grows to the point of attracting potential customers outside your target demographic should you not place tremendous value on every single piece of feedback.

I am not saying stopping caffeine is the fix for everybody and I am
certainly not trying to
take your experience from you.

What I am saying is that it’s worth to try this as one of the first steps because it’s easy to do, you can see results quickly and for a lot of people going off caffeine is helpful.

It’s like dealing with backpain. Exercise or yoga won’t cure everybody but it’s definitely trying to do that before taking other measures.

Or if you are overweight it’s a good first step to look at eating habits. Often better eating habits will help so
it’s worth trying as a first step. If that doesn’t help definitely look at other things.
That's my secret, Cap... I'm always socially distant.

I didn't know USPS had such high requirements. Where can I learn more about this?
There is a blood serum test already available that can determine if you had coronavirus (by testing for COVID-specific antibodies produced by your body). I'd say wait until the pandemic dies down and then go get that if you're curious.

There's going to be some very interesting population studies done post-pandemic to determine exactly what percentage of people had asymptomatic cases (and thus could have unknowingly been contributing to the spread).
That's a long term solution.

Short term, ISPs can't increase bandwidth availability, and Netflix can reduce bandwidth consumption.

And I'm not sure it's a nonissue. The videos in my online classes are pausing every few seconds lately. And watching those in a lower quality isn't an option because the writing needs to be readable.

On the other hand, Zoom works better than EdX, so it may be the EdX servers that are overwhelmed.
