> it must in some crazy way be spreading much faster among the asymptomatic than among the serious cases.

Would that be surprising? If you're contagious a few days before any symptoms, you'd have plenty of time to transmit it to several other folks. Even if your case then becomes serious (which is not terribly likely in this model), you're going to be staying home or in treatment, and probably much more careful about contact with others.
Who are you comparing Europe to?

Trump just announced advice not to gather for 2 weeks. A 2 week restriction is a drop in the sea.

China is celebrating lifting of many restrictions. But the virus will come back in those areas and the restrictions will come back too.
ICE is the enforcement arm for immigration, which handles people who cross the border. Obviously if there's a strong border then there's no problem in the first place.

As for the rest of your comment, this is the far-left extremist position that I cited in my first post. There's no good faith discussion to be had here.
> If the demand for milk goes up, I can switch to soy milk. If soy milk goes up, I can switch to Almond. And if all of them go up, I just drink water.

I don't understand how this example describes a situation where inflation is a non-issue. I used to be able to afford to drink milk; now, due to inflation, I can only afford to drink water. That sounds like inflation. What am I missing from this example?
EMTALA in the US appears to dominate among a myriad other sister regulations in this medicolegal and medical ethics problem space. The decision should be left to the staff on the ground with the details of the situation at the moment.

An unaddressed gap is medical staff on the pandemic front lines without adequate PPE are still shackled by these rules made for a system that is not overwhelmed by a pandemic. These need to be waived for the duration of the emergency.

UBI will become a necessity because the alternative will not be pretty.
If uniformally randomly distributed that would imply a 3% population infection rate today, with an R0 of 2-3, 100% of the population either has had it or will have it by the end of next week. That would be wildly past the tipping point. Until we have an antibody test we can only know who has it right now, if you’ve had it more than 2 weeks ago you’re not going to test positive.
I never thought of it before, but it's interesting that building windows with hand cranks aren't "rolled open."

It means when the market is sideways and bouncing within a channel. It is when bulls and bears are still indecisive. Depending on fundamentals as well, this is when smart money starts to accumulate. Big funds usually accumulate in these channels because they need time to accumulate. They act as the bulls here. The bears will usually be those day-trading euphoric shorters trying to scalp every bounce, or just some random capitulation. This is the time when money fears to go in and those who have held already gave up on going out. The volume will be quite low.
The Pandemic Stress Test
I’m so confused why this inflation argument keeps popping up.

If you’re paying for the Ubi with taxes then there’s no inflation. Net money supply hasn’t changed (0).

If you pay for ubi by printing money then yes, inflation would be a problem. But no one has suggested that.

(0) I’m willing to entertain an argument about the velocity of money increasing from ubi but I really doubt it would be too significant.
Half measures, if even half.

This article [1] is one of the few to have taken Andrew Yang's UBI policies seriously and on their merits (unlike most others that summarily dismiss them), thought through some of their implications, found shortcomings, but still ended up still largely acknowledging that they could work.

I think a well-designed UBI could work. The tricky part is that UBI is one of those experiments that has to be done on the large, and pulling back if it doesn't work out is challenging. Any errors in implementation and design are potentially very expensive.

Stuff like datagrid tends to live in the Windows Community Toolkit (https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit) these days. Though there's apparently an effort to reimplement it natively in WinUI (https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/1500)

(one difference is that the WCT is mostly C# and WinUI/the built-in controls are C++)
> Yes, there are people that do exactly that, and probably will for all time. Has it ruined the Australian economy? nope. Has there been rampant inflation? nope.

It is besides the point really isn't it? Why should the tax payer pay for someone sitting on their behind?

Why should I pay for someone else doing nothing? I am close to paying 40% of my income to tax at the moment and I've been saving for a property for years (I earn too much to have any help on buying a flat). What the studies say is absolutely irrelevant because I cannot abide the (lack of) principle itself.
just pictured myself with a Darth Vader mask and a UVC portable sabre to kill covid-19... re-reading those specs "Measurements were performed on a high-frequency, current limited electronic ballast and represent average values at 1 meter" - this means the output could be considerable higher at a few inches and it'll take only a few seconds to sterilize small garments (and mobile phones). It could work.
I think there are good points made here, but for the most part WireGuard is a massive upgrade compared to OpenVPN for most users, and I think it's set up really well for that use case (especially in a setting where you have control of the endpoints).

There are other things for other use cases, I'm looking at glorytun [0] right now as a start. I particularly want the multipath stuff. Right now, it has the ability to do AEGIS where AES extensions are available, and fall back to ChaCha20-Poly1305. I personally think libsodium should look at adding a ChaCha12, and maybe ChaCha8, mode; 20 rounds seems pretty excessive, all things considered, and it has a considerable performance cost.

By the way, given that the hardware would probably have dramatically more throughput and less complexity, I do wonder why CPU vendors aren't looking at ChaCha acceleration. It's not strictly necessary for timing attack reasons, since ChaCha doesn't really have these problems in software, but it seems to be better in every way than AES, given equal effort.

RE: the multipath functionality is interesting to me, because I want to set up in some locations where directional radio could degrade in one direction or another, or maybe only satellite is available sometimes. I think probably the mad/glorytun multipath stuff is not that smart yet, but it's a start.

Why would it increase inflation? An equal amount of money is taken out of taxes. There’s no new money being created.

Overall, maybe a good sentiment and maybe a good idea. In many areas I think this is being done.

However, I don't at all like the argument that if your neighbor can't pay her bill, it might not just impact her, but two of her neighbors, one of which is some kind of network engineer who fixes BGP thingies. And neither of the leaching neighbors who have some kind of critical need of her internet can help pay for it???

If you can fix BGP thingies, you ought to have your own WiFi, or be able to do better than leaching it.
True, it wasn't "rolling" in the sense of the physical action you performed or even what the crank did, but the crank did move in a circular motion, and things that roll also move in a circular motion, so it makes a little bit of sense, even if it's not really rolling. Not sure why that term stuck.
Almost certainly it was a much older demographic for Diamond Princess, although I don't have any precise figures. However, I will note that the 1% for the cruise ship is under the conditions of available healthcare resources (i.e. passengers were repatriated back to countries that had available resources able to care for them).

The danger with this disease seems to be that it is highly contagious and countries tend to see a huge spike in cases that completely overwhelms the healthcare system and leads to a several-fold increase in the case fatality rate (e.g. Iran, Italy).

So I agree that on its own COVID-19 is likely less fatal than some of the numbers we tend to see cited, but under outbreak conditions it can be much much more fatal.
No and I didn't mean to give the impression that it's inactive or anything.

It's a pretty mature project so there's not many changes needed.

Yeah the rasp 4s are pretty insane. You can also use them as a router/firewall if you're sufficiently insane via a USB3 network adapter.
The story doesn't mention that the logo came from a forum on a site called Armchair General. The logo was the start of a joke thread that announced the image as the new Democrat Party logo. Chances are that Google saw this site as being somewhat reputable/popular, found the image, used the phrasing as a signal, and noticed the post time. Those could have been enough points to automatically get the logo updated. At least that's my assumption so far, anyways.
I don't have any visibility into the supply chain, but LATimes suggests the supply chain for at least toilet paper are operating normally https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-03-14/coronaviru...

It's partially due to hoarding, partially due to panic buying, and partially due to the lockdown of many schools and businesses, which caused most eating+drinking+related activity to move home, raising household demands on food and toilet paper above normal.

Also, if you're supposed to show your face in public as infrequently as possible, then instead of 10 shopping trips you're better off making 1 shopping trip buying 10x the stuff. Which exacerbates availability.
It seems like the biggest confounder is age. If we stratify across age, we might be forgiven for ignoring differences in healthcare quality. The death rates by age in Korea are given here:

I don't test. I just trade with real money. VIX going below 30 just signifies the start of bear exhaustion. You don't go in now, it just means to prepare to go in. 200 SMA is usually used by technical traders to gauge when to start changing their strategies to trading an upward trend instead, which after awhile becomes self-reinforcing. It just experience here. You can plot the 200 SMA on the 2008-2009 graphs on your favourite stocks and you can see that usually that's a good time to buy in.
>It could also trigger a housing correction

What would a housing correction look like? Demand still outstrip supply in hot markets, so the worst thing that'll happen is that the housing prices will have a slight dip, and that's it. Also, with the Fed lowering interest rates to zero and possibly lower, that'll continue to inflate the value of assets such as houses.

I wish Gitlab would get over this passive-aggressive negging of GitHub.

I would squirm seeing something like that among any two competing companies. But it takes a strange configuration of overcompensating an inferiority complex to use it for the specific case of one company starting out as an explicit clone of another, to then lord any small feature the original company may have followed over them.

This isn't the first time. I've seen it dozens of times, and I don't even specifically care about these two companies.
How does testing help anything? Other than just providing good reporting. It doesn't address the issue, nor solve the actual underlying problem.

I mean, if I'm feeling sick wouldn't I just proceed as if I had it? How doesn't actually knowing change anything? My course of action should be identical.

[Virtual event] What is the best way to stop a pandemic?
Here's yesterday's updated standard of care language in regional guidance. Recall that a standard of care also protects providers and facilities from liability. By relaxing it, both are less liable for things that may still be risks.

Looks like the language makes it clear the goal here is to preserve the supply of masks:

The safety of healthcare workers is a top priority for the Health Department. As we gain more understanding of COVID-19, our guidance will evolve. The use of standard, contact, and droplet precautions with eye protection is appropriate when caring for patients with possible or confirmed COVID-19. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should include: facemask (procedure or surgical mask) AND gown AND gloves AND eye protection (goggles or face shield).

The Health Department recommends healthcare workers do not need to use a fit tested N95 respirator or Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) for routine (non-aerosol generating) care of a COVID-19 patient. Patients can be evaluated in a private examination room with the door closed.

Supplies of PPE must be reserved for high risk procedures due to potential supply chain constraints.

Ample studies indicate the safety of droplet precautions which may also help prevent the complete exhaustion of fit tested N95 respirators and PAPRs; higher level PPE will continue to be needed to protect HCWs during critical and medically necessary aerosol generating procedures (e.g., intubation, suctioning) throughout the course of this outbreak.

Placing the patient in an AIIR and the use of a fit tested N95 respirator or PAPR is still recommended for aerosol-generating procedures (e.g., intubation, suctioning, nebulizer therapy) and when caring for patients with severe illness requiring intensive care.
Neither of those show negative impact but people worried about potential future negative impact.
Another consideration is that when things get back to normal there will be a lot of people that won't go back to commuting as much, less long term energy usage. If the SA vs RU fight doesn't end soon, this will not benefit renewables, but if it does it will be a golden opportunity since oil will cost more and be used less.

Provide them a plan to transition to it that's bullet proof and wait until the current crisis is over (no one smart is making changes to their VPN right now while it's being overtaxed).

You'll need the code to run it, the plan for authentication and authorization, documentation, testing, maintenance plans, training, rollout plans, fallback plans, etc.
My viewpoint is based on the products they're competing against:

- Their OSS offerings

- Other OSS offerings like Istio, Ansible, Conjour, and Kubernetes

- Hybrid cloud solutions like Outpost and Anthos

Additionally, I think HashiCorp not embracing kubernetes and trying to push Nomad was a huge miscalculation. None of their products have particularly noteworthy integrations with it, with the community picking up the slack (almost like internally they don't care).
Well, you're all wrong, because I define sociability as a network of vectors, and I say 'antisocial' is when you reciprocate someone's sociability back toward them (along the same vector, but in the opposite direction).

So, no, I did not get hit severe in that I didn't die. I'm having a hard time thinking I just had a bad cold. Especially when I have seen all four of my kids get coughs and fevers since...

You should be looking for work. If you haven't tried looking for a job you get your benefits removed. Obviously the Elderly and Disabled should get help but healthy people should be looking for work if they aren't employed.

I really like this as DIY - I also found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okg7uq_HrhQ - explaining how the virus eventually kills by causing failure of the lungs. After explaining the functional parts he goes on to explain what seem like some interesting things to consider when designing a ventilator with respect to how they were used during the SARS outbreak. e.g. tidal forces causing iteration and more inflammation, which then cuts off more air flow. So thinking about how you maintain a constant air pressure instead of more pushing force... at least the explanation made sense intuitively but I'm not a doctor and don't know if this video or your Ventilator are safe - but I do like the DIY aspect of it and figure thinking about or sharing ideas can't be bad...
Or face a total financial system meltdown if the fix is poorly implemented.

I think the simplest solution is for the fed/government to simply give everybody cash, since the root of the problem is that a lot of people have temporarily lost their incomes due to their jobs being essentially banned in response to the pandemic (eg a lot of people in retail outside of supermarkets/food). Anything that involves nonpayment is extremely risky
