Alameda county, as with most of the counties in the bay area, already has outbreaks.

Shelter in place gives time for current cases to go symptomatic & become traceable, among other benefits. Testing only effectively started last week, and is still a joke compared to what other countries with outbreaks of this level are doing.

I'm suspecting Tesla is employing sock puppets, or people with too much invested in Tesla, are overly eager to void the shelter-in-place effort for an arbitrary 10K people.
Even without entering in comparison of the numbers a decisive factor is that we have no proof that there are no long term negative effects, or even that (partial) immunity carries over to the following year as with the flu, or that it will mutate in more unpredictable ways.
The other issue is that an ambu-bag doesn't work the same way a ventilator does, and can't provide the functionality that a critically ill respiratory patient would need. It can shove air into the lungs, but it can't manage pressures during the other phases of ventilation (which are equally, or even more, important).

> To be fair to Tesla

Why do we need to be fair to a blatant rule breaker in a health crisis?
They don’t limit who can post content but rather whose content reaches the suggestions, regardless of a post’s popularity.

Also, again, the people turned away from the night club door still can’t go in. Took Too users who don’t post can still view content.
Instagram does the same thing; my 'Explore' tab is full of beautiful people even though I don't follow them. From a business standpoint it makes sense to promote the best looking content since it'll lure in more young users. The young kids probably think something like "Hey look at all those beautiful people. I want to be like them and they use Tik Tok so I'm going to use Tik Tok too."
Getting a domain on google is not as easy as it used to be. If your domain has few inbound links don’t expect to appear on google at all, no matter how unique your search keywords may be.
There is some correlation, but it's not perfect.

I've thought a lot about this and I think beauty is both shorthand for "that looks like someone healthy and very functional" and also is something that can be faked, so it's not a reliable indicator.

For this reason, I think it will always be both valued and controversial. To whatever degree it genuinely signals something of underlying value, like health and competence, it's useful shorthand. To whatever degree it is a signal that is hackable, it's shorthand with a poor signal-to-noise ratio.

I don't think we will ever completely solve it. We will always be caught between those two facts.
This is definitely not an introductory level book. On the contrary, I wouldn't recommend it unless you've done at least Calc 3 since you'll need a strong grasp of vectors and derivatives. Newton's laws say e.g. the net force on an object (a Euclidean vector) is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (also a Euclidean vector). That in itself is entirely coordinate free, sure it assumes that the vector is not a moment, but that's different from dictating a particular coordinate system.

You are right to say that if you wanted to express those laws in different coordinate systems, they would look different, but the key to this system is in essence that you leave any kind of coordinate projections till the very end (lazy evaluation, to put it in a computer science analogy), at which point much of the math is simplified due to term reduction, or various projections cancel each other out.

What is tempting to bring in from other materials is the notion that a vector has coordinates, which as far as this philosophy is concerned, they don't. A vector is the direction and magnitude per sé, devoid of the concept of an origin or any particular unit vectors with which you could represent that vector numerically. It's a mindfuck for sure, and it confused all the students in the class for a solid 3 weeks; that's why it's great.

I read what you wrote.

Your opposition is actually an example of a logical fallacy. I'm struggling to find the exact name of it. But it has to do with that fact that you are against the adoption of something positive that you agree with because of some hypothetical negative externality.

Edit: It's called the "Perfect solution fallacy"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy

The perfect solution fallacy is a related informal fallacy that occurs when an argument assumes that a solution should be rejected because some part of the problem would still exist after it were implemented.[4] This is an example of black and white thinking, in which a person fails to see the complex interplay between multiple component elements of a situation or problem, and, as a result, reduces complex problems to a pair of binary extremes.

I just spoke to a friend regarding your issue, they said at their company they ran into a similar situation.

Their solution was to use Zoom Video Conferencing, apparently they have the option to have users phone in or have Zoom call users over the telecom network for audio whilst receiving video over the internet.

I didn't ask on costs, but it might be a viable solution.

Edit>> I see you tried zoom, did you try the telecom audio solution?

The Tesla fans are true believers.

On another site any comment or story that even seems negative is swarmed by fans there to tell you how it is.

I asked a question a few times out of honest curiosity...the fans were there to tell me all about how the thing I didn't say was wrong and that I was surely a troll. Nobody bothered to answer.

That's a different discussion than the question if regular flu seasons can overload the healthcare systems. Yes they can, and we regularly underestimate them.

And I'd actually also disagree that this is 'nowhere near as bad' as COVID-19. In countries like Germany or South Korea the death toll with high rates of testing appears to be somewhere in the 0.2 - 1% range. That's something I would argue is a difference in quantity rather than quality, with the dangers lying in the aggregate disease burden and vulnerable populations in particular.
I wouldn't worry about it. You've called out the affiliate links, so you're being transparent about it.

this entire post is predicated on the assumption that you are an individual actor in society, independent of all others.

That assumption is the lie at the heart of so much of human, especially American folly that I don't even know where to start. It isn't even an assumption, it is a belief. It is a belief that no one will change but those with power will gladly abuse. Please grow up.
The prices can increase for any labor or material costs for both manufacturing and transit. If you can prove that your increased prices are due to increased costs you can raise prices as much as you wish. The only thing this prevents is increased profit in times of crises.
What apps exist to allow for directional "paper" where both (say, given an iPad) can do collaborative writing, if you're doing something like math which needs birectional communication?

My father runs a tutoring business and most students want to move to skyping but I know my father wants to be able to write on something (paper would be ideal, but obviously not practical given the current environment, but an iPad would work) and have the student see it in real time, and then the student also writes in real time and have my father see it in real time.

What did Khan Academy guy Sal do in the early years to do collaborative lessons?

That's not correct. The EPS increase is offset by reduction in company value due to less cash. https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/stock-buybacks-ar...
When you’re accusing journalists of malicious incompetence and others of laziness, you should care about context and have some idea of the topic you’re talking about.

I wasn’t a fan of GW Bush, but his response to 9/11 was on point. An emergency was declared and those emergency powers were used immediately to procure items needed for recovery or ensure that states and cities had access to cash to meet their disaster obligations. Only now is the federal government slowly engaging.

It’s not a smear, it’s a fact — this administration is paralyzed into inaction by nepotism, lack of effective command and fundamental incompetence. Thousands will suffer as the economy implodes or will die or be hurt by the pandemic as a consequence.

The way I envisioned it would be reusing off-the-shelf garden irrigation tubing and misting spray heads (polytube / LDPE, which apparently has excellent compatability with isopropyl alcohol so shouldn't melt as I understand it [1]) wrapped around key doorways that outgoing parcels travel through. Isopropyl would be sprayed from the doorways and deliver a fine mist onto packages as they pass through. E.g. as they pass through the loading dock.

Isopropyl is cheap and easily available in bulk quantities, this would only need a water hookup to mix it to 70% isopropyl (again, using commercially available garden equipment normally used to mix plant feed inline with a hose or irrigation system). Reclamation systems would be a little more work - would need some kind of reclamation dish and pump that doesn't interfere with carts etc. passing through.

Maybe it is impractical, but I still like the idea.

I agree that the presentation using a horizontal scrolling table is not the best. Maybe a vertical scrolling table with the x and y switched would of made more sense.
I think you're generally correct, but that games studios and animators don't care much about refraction specifically (although it does make for cool tech demos). They care more about reflection and lighting in general (spotlights such as windows, true area lights - no point lights disguised as area lights using emmisive textures)
There's no way to guarantee that you wont go to a hospital after getting sick. There's no guarantee you wont go to places afterwards that others have no choice to go to. It's not about saving you from yourself it's about saving others from you.

Quoting from the article:

'Regarding the policy of suppressing videos featuring unattractive, disabled, or poor users, Gartner stated that the rules “represented an early blunt attempt at preventing bullying, but are no longer in place, and were already out of use when The Intercept obtained them.”'
Something I meant to say upthread slightly and didn't:

It seems like the nature of the overloading is different.

In particular, from those reports you mentioned, it doesn't seem like staff had to decide which patients to treat or not.

With COVID-19 we are hearing reports of some patients not being treated because there is not enough capacity (either staff or equipment) and so the death rates can be very high as many people receive inadequate treatment.
Yes, it's a rip-off, I'm trying to state the facts, that does not mean I agree with it nor that I adhere to it.
My local grocery store was unusually busy yesterday. People were stacking up their baskets and running around worried. Amazingly, the only shelves that were cleaned out were those that carried sliced bread, toilet paper and something else I didn't stop to check. Amazing because I don't like slice bread and prefer bidet to toilet paper. There was plenty of what I actually wanted. A lady who was checking out right behind me had only two cases of soda. I was thoroughly impressed with her bravery :)

In times like this being a weirdo who likes shit nobody wants actually pays because you can afford to come to the store the next day when everything (but the "repulsive shit") is swept off the shelves. You get to pick up what you need in peace. Of cousrse, then, you're called a bottom feeder who likes leftovers, but that's a hole another story.
Tesla stopped building cars to order long time ago. They do keep inventory like anyone else. Smaller than others but still.
Maybe tall people have more confidence on average, which in certain leadership roles, could be a legitimate aspect of merit.
That’s clearly not the way the author intends us to interpret “one bit at a time”. They intend it as some kind of explanation for why ChaCha20 is slow. (In reality, bitwise XOR is one of the fastest operations a computer can perform; it runs with as much of a parallel speedup as you have parallelism to give it, and it’s utilized extensively by practically every cipher including AES.)

It isn't about you, especially if you're healthy and below 50. I do care about the people you'll help infect, including my wife who works in a hospital, the elderly in my home, my colleagues, my elderly parents, and plenty of other people I care about. I and others should absolutely go to bat for the health of their loved ones and dependents.

It's disappointing technologists interested in building things doesn't get the community aspect of that, but not my fight.
I also happily pay for Netflix. And Amazon. And HBO. and Disney+. So, if something isn't on one of those services, yeah, I'm going to pirate it. I've already tithed more than enough to the entertainment industry. Most of the time the thing I want to watch isn't available on the services yet, but will be in 3-6 months. Like movies that just came out on video and they want to milk people who will pay $20 to watch it right away before it goes to all the streaming services. Nuts to that.

According to previous CDC link, worldwide known cases and known death numbers give a known mortality rate of 0.041586323. Obviously there are far more cases that are unknown at this point. This would lower the mortality rate.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200303/Analysis-One-sure...

>Lipkin noted that because cases observed early in an epidemic are the most severe, early mortality estimates tend to be high. As more information comes out, the death rates are likely to fall. "We're probably six months out from having a good picture, and when we do I'd guess the mortality will drop dramatically," he said.

“ I can assure you that most gay people don't want to be gay either”

That sentence is super ambiguous.

Do you mean “Most gay people have a desire to be not gay.”

Or “Most gay people lack any desire with regard to there orientation.”
> they are much less likely to spread the virus than some of the "essential" services that are allowed to remain open.

That's not really relevant, because these essential services are open because they are, well, "essential", not because they are safer. A hospital is the most dangerous place to catch the virus now, but nobody suggests shutting down the hospital, because we need it right now. We don't need a new car now.

If you've seen videos of the plant, there actually aren't that many in close contact. AFAIK, Ford has had a case with covid19 and has not had a major outbreak as a result. It could be bad, but your estimates are severely on the high end.
Yes, not something you should do on purpose.

However, that's still going to happen. Once someone high enough gets sick all of a sudden the company will start caring about their employees.

Once the situation clears, I would encourage everyone at this company to quit and find somewhere else to work.
It is a lonely path. It's a bit frustrating because others just won't relate to you. People often talk up to you -- I've had classmates I used to hang around at the school ditch call me Sir. Or another large group assumes you don't have problems because you have money. I've tried hanging out with other entrepreneurs, but many are either wantepreneurs or sociopaths, and it's just incredibly frustrating. A lot of people in actual entrepreneur mode are focusing on their business, and keep cofounders as social anchors.

And a lot of the time, it's because they sort of want to be where you are, but they aren't. A big part of it is their fault. And so they justify it by building a kind of disgust for wealth and the people who hold it. They say, well, being wealthy requires sacrifices to family life, health, and so on, and are happy to see you lonely.

It's also a bit depressing that you can't really "free" anyone. A lot of people seem to think that all they need is money, so they can hire staff and hit financial freedom, but it doesn't work that way.

I'd say the wife and kids keep me rooted somewhere because the relationship is the same. The ideal is Melinda Gates or Sharon Osbourne. The one who straight up will tell you your idea is wrong when you're surrounded by yes-men, now take out the trash. But also support you when you're messed up. And a lot of rockstar kids keep their parents rooted - a two year old will throw a tantrum no matter what, and to paraphrase Liz Tyler, she doesn't know what's different about being a rockstar kid because she never had any other dads. Internet and multiplayer games are nice too because nobody knows who you are.

Spirituality also helps to deal with this. Buddha and Muhammad were already incredibly wealthy. Both found different paths.

I realize this is a low-signal post, but I'm still here, unable to sleep, feeling utterly disrespected as a cysec professional.

A few days ago I was a valued member of the team, now upper management is using fear and intimidation to keep a semblance of normality for as long as possible: You want to go home? We won't have you back. I would walk away gladly if I could do it without affecting my team and my employer.

We have all the conditions required for secure remote work, in fact it would be a tighter environment in many ways. Apparently it's too difficult to manage the outsourced resources.

This is why we need the state of emergency declared. To keep people like those from putting more people are risk.

Being able to grab the PID from a currently running process -- in the same shell it's running in! -- is priceless on its own. The rest is icing on the cake.
Misinformation includes misleading information.

Even if a statement is technically correct it can be designed to (or can accidentally) mislead people into coming to the wrong conclusion.

From the start you were advocating the conclusion that this "will do just the same as any other flu" and then compared total deaths to date in support of that conclusion.

The conclusion is misinformed because the comparison is not valid.

For it to be a valid comparison, as others have stated in the thread, we need to compare the projected cases and deaths NOT the current deaths as you have done.

Stating the numbers the way you have, uncritically and without the relevant context, is misinformation because it is misleading.
