What we are seeing is that the warmer the place, the slower the growth, with tropical or very warm places (Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, India, etc.) showing an R0 < 1

The point is that places like California will experience slow growth which will also decline quickly with the warming weather, not that every place has negative growth right now.
I think you are right?? The writeups are still accessible thru the nav menu.
I'm glad it works for you.

That's entirely missing the point thought. This page took down a 8 core 32gb machine but seems to work fine on a 1 core notebook.

Cool. So costs go up only for scalpers and the unemployed get some cash? Sounds like a win-win to me :-)
It is free on the Raspberry Pi computer.
Hey, it's the guy from the video. I worked with Tesla on this and we waited until a sufficient amount of vehicles had the patch before releasing it out. But if someone that acts maliciously, just releases it out without co-ordination with Tesla, that's a different ballgame. I would imagine they would roll it out ASAP.
As I understand it, the new 16 inch macbook has the biggest size battery you could have while still allowed on an airplane as a carry on. Security theatre, but... that's life.
It's here, just not easy to set up. NetJack offers low latency like Jack but over the network.

Some random shower thoughts, having just returned myself from doing lung clearance, something I've been doing a lot since we cleaned up the mold issue we had:

If you think doing lung clearance might cause actual vomiting as well, don't do it in the shower.

Instead:
Get naked, stand over your toilet and cough into the toilet. Then shower before getting dressed again.

Don't skip showering. Store your clothes away from where you will be coughing/puking so they don't get blow back.

Don't assume once a day is sufficient. Doing lung clearance multiple times a day is not unreasonable during a life-threatening health crisis.

If you can't bring it up, drink something and eat something salty. This will help you cough it up.

If you roll over and it provoked a coughing fit, you probably have fluid sloshing around in your lungs. It's a good idea to attempt lung clearance at that time.

It's more or less free (though it could drive your water bill up). It just takes a few minutes. The only known side effect is breathing easier.

Okay, okay. I sometimes get dry skin from showering 500 million times. It's less annoying than not being able to breathe.

Try to not fall in the shower though. Getting bruised up would not be a good thing.
It might. Historically pandemics have remade the global map and socio-economic system. The combination of WW1 + Spanish Flu led to the collapse of the Russian, Austrian, Ottoman, and Chinese empires along with the formation of the UK and a resurgent American, German, and Italian nationalism. Black Death led to the collapse of the feudal system and the rise of bourgeoise capitalism. The Plague of Justinian laid to rest any hopes that the Byzantine empire would recapture the Western Roman Empire and lead to a reunified Rome.

I could see this being the start of a ~10 year period of social unrest, plague, and natural calamities that eventually destroys the nation-state in favor of a loose conglomeration of city-states.
Yes you need to learn to look for the distractors and rule them out
He is suggesting by removing this feature to keep pace with chrome firefox is acting as the younger brother or junior partner.

Probably true in this case. I'm a little disapppinted but if I really cared I would fork the repo remove those changes and spend my life trying to manually keep things in sync. Or just use a different browser.
Should work if someone is asymptomatic because it tests the antibodies that our bodies produce after having gotten SARS-CoV-19.
Mine is an odd, backwater website hosting a few tracks of surrealist noise (music) by someone/some-people called "The Waxwing Slain".

I found it when I was 13 or 14 while I was trawling the backwaters of the internet. I downloaded all the tracks and listened. It was odd, surreal, satisfying to listen to. Eerie, even. I've lost the HDD those mp3s were on. And the website has disappeared into the dusts of time.
Doing something may well be worse than doing nothing.

Concrete example: you get impaled by something. Do you: (a) do absolutely nothing and leave it in, and seek help or (b) rip it out as you see in movies because doing something is better than doing nothing.

(b) will kill you and (a) will save your life.

By doing something you have no business doing, no understanding of the mechanics and consequences you may will make it worse.

If everyone in Wuhan hooked up their loved ones to leaf blowers, the death rate probably would have been massively higher.
I can't remember the last time I logged in.

I live in in Crown Heights, Brooklyn and I don't want belittle the gravity of the situation at all because we have seen seen 3 obituary entries (all elderly) and have a number of other people who we are praying for in precarious situations.

But your comment strikes me as something out dystopian sci-fi. Our volunteer ems reps as of 4 days ago estimated that 80% of the community had been infected and anecdotally it seems now higher than than that. I do not know anyone who has not had flu like symptoms in the past week. Obviously, that means that I along with my entire immediate family have been slowly recovering from sometimes flue like this past week and G-d willing will feel good again in the next day or days.

And I know that other communities in Brooklyn and upstate NY have similar infection saturation. Thus the official infection numbers are off by factors of 10 which means the death and hospitalization rates are significantly overstated. The danger is in the absolute numbers.

I don't know what to make of all this other than that some large communities have peaked and aren't seeing death in streets as it were.

There's every reason to hope and good reasons to believe that the distancing measures now in effect will give NY the time to ramp up the health care system to accommodate those most badly affected.

I hope someone found something useful in this comment.
Then what point are you really trying to make here then? Because on its own, what you're saying is a non-sequitur, it's as if you're just ignoring what's going on. Some people will take advantage of this handout. So what? Most people will not, and most working people are not looking at this the way you describe (it doesn't have almost universal public support because everyone is rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of cheating the system).

Edit: it's as if you're talking about a completely different thing to what this actually is: as per the sibling comment, this is a benefit going to people losing their jobs, for reasons they cannot control in any way.
This is good info. Are you suggesting that most people would get 3 tests...a confirmation, then after x weeks 2 negatives, skewing the number potentially up to max ~66% testing negative even for people with the virus?
I feel the author's point about having a dedicated physical device. I feel that way about my preference for a fountain pen and a notebook versus my laptop.

The thing I absolutely cannot relate to though is the joy over getting "surprise" phone calls. I don't want a land-line, even if the quality is better, because I don't want another device making noises and demanding my attention. Sure you could unplug it when you're not using it, but I'd feel like too much of a jerk doing that. Voicemails are also just another thing that make noise or lights and demand attention.

I hate podcasts, and have issues with audio processing in general - but in some ways I actually think ham radios are the ideal. I don't normally talk on mine - but sometimes I like listening in on some of the local repeaters and hearing the convos there. I'm out in the NC mountains right now, so It's kind of cool to hear the accents of some of the older guys (reminds me of my grandad's accent), plus they're always swapping crazy stories. I also like the give-and-take nature of ham radio, since people tend to be very cognizant of how much time they are taking up and the need to make space on the channel to let others jump in and talk. And of course, I like that you can just turn it off if you're not feeling like hearing people's voices.
Another way to reuse whey is to make geitost, which is a hard "cheese" made from boiling down the whey. It's sweet and carmely, and keeps well. I used to work in a grocery store and would make cheese and geitost from the slightly-expired milk. I like the idea of making alcohol from it, but that's a much more intense process that has a lot of licensing attached to it.
There's benefit when working in low-security environments. A custom crypto model will make your process harder to understand by a reverse engineer. This adds some security by obscurity, but almost certainly weakens actual security.

Let's say you just want to store and restore data on a user's computer, but want it to be difficult to read by an outside program. In this scenario, using an established algorithm makes it easier to decipher your encoding, and by nature if the encryption and decryption happens on the user's machine then you have to store the public and private keys on the user's system. There's no other way to accomplish this task if offline is a requirement. So in this case, obscurity has value in deterring reverse engineers.
The in-vitro EUA list on the FDA page only seems to cover PCR tests and not ELISA immunoassays (yet).

Pinnacle's webpage earlier this week said they were shipping to the EU but waiting on the FDA EUA for shipments to the US. The tracking on my order was marked as held up at the factory.

The EUA notice disappeared from their website on Wednesday, it shipped yesterday, and I got it this morning.

It's reasonable to believe Pinnacle obeyed the rules and waited. My plans weren't to use the kit unless absolutely necessary, so I can wait for the documentation to update.
> Security should be done as a collective effort than individually.

Nice suggestion. How do you propose this to be done?
> The sensitivity is 97.90 %, the specificity is 91.77%.

This seems like it could provide a false sense of security to many if used widely by the general population.
I always took "Telling People They Don’t Need Masks" as there is about to be an immense shortage so known infected and medical staff should be prioritized. If everyone tried to start wearing masks a month ago we wouldn't have /any/ left and we'd probably see a lot more desperate acts around getting them. Not to mention the average person not wearing it properly and not getting proper protection.

Right now there's a huge shortage and we still have a very small number of cases--it's all people stockpiling and using them where it's not as critical.

Like you say, after we can replenish the supply I'm sure it will be more commonplace.

Gig: A new method for explaining complex ensemble ML models
> Acquired in January by digital platform security firm Irdeto, Denuvo has essentially grown from a company of 45 people to over 1,000.

I believe that's saying that Irdeto has 1,000 employees, not that 1,000 people work on Denuvo itself. Instead it sounds like Denuvo "only" needs to cover the salary of around 50 people unless they've grown substantially since the acquisition as pre-acquisition they were 45 people.

I'm guessing they didn't jack up the licensing costs 10x since they were acquired, so using numbers for ~50 people a cost of $2M seems way too high. In 2017, so pre-acquisition, there were around 50 games using Denuvo: https://www.game-debate.com/games/gamesWithDenuvo

I'm sure the scale of the game influences costs and a AAA would be more than an indie release etc... but the math still works for numbers far lower than $2M licensing costs. And presumably Bethesda & others have done these analysis and concluded the licensing costs are worth it.
I predict the the "new" normal will return to the "old" normal once the situation stabilizes. I don't for a moment buy into the plethora of posts suggesting that we will not.
On my current connection, the first hop is 20ms, so it's hopeless.

Generally speaking though, you'd need wired connections, good routing, and excess bandwidth, since you'd want to forgo compression, since it's less predictable and adds delay.
It may be because our current health care infrastructure handles the expected rates of injuries and death through these internalized manners, and we’ve decided we’d rather not watch it collapse while sacrificing five percent of our elderly?

Plus whatever amount of people would die from not having access to healthcare?

And the innumerable numbers with long term reduced lung function.

And the fact the rest of the world would shut us off from everything regardless since we’d be this gigantic disaster zone.

I think, and don’t quote me on this, that the UKs original plan was “fuck it, lets aim for herd immunity”. I don’t think it took long for them to realize how terrible of an idea that was.

And lets not forget the incredible numbers of younger Americans with underlying health issues who’d die off in droves.

So I guess, is it _really_ that strange we’re not asking “what if just said fuck it”?

Edit: sorry if that came off rude, I suspect if you did ask that question, something akin to the above is the answer you’d get :-)
No amount of complaints about 'cancel culture' or what not is gonna stop me from shaming people very loudly for not washing their hands.

Wash your damn hands.
Culturally this is very interesting to me. So here is one vote that is glad it showed up again.
”You could make the same argument about almost any sport”

Yes, but for many of them, to a much lesser degree. I specifically mentioned soccer because it is extremely cheap to start playing it. All you need is a somewhat level playing area, anything that can mark the locations of the imaginary goal posts (coats, garbage cans, or just heaps of mud), and something resembling a ball (say a few crumpled newspapers tied together with tape or thread will work, if needed)

You don’t need grass, inflatable balls, side line markers, real goal posts, team uniforms, or even shoes.

Long distance running is another example at the other end of the range, as is cricket (for which you only need a few sticks, one bat, a hard ball, and a fairly hard surface), and, where sandy beaches are available, beach volleyball (for which the only expensive item is the ball. A rope can substitute for the net, if needed)

That’s why you see don’t see kids in favelas race karts, but see them play soccer or cricket (and, in Brazil, play beach volleyball)

”You can't just grab some random person from tropical Africa and have him play some sport alongside trained and experienced veterans and expect him to win”

I didn’t claim that. What I said is that, likely, there are kids in Africa who, if they were given the same opportunities as Senna, would have turned out to be better F1 drivers than him.

Hello. I created a guide to aid in the formulation of a landing page. This is part 1 that covers the foundations that need to be addressed before any copywriting or actual building begin.
What's nice about PostgreSQL is that you quite often discover little useful trick you have missed so far.

Guess that's however true for any well written language when you master it enough to enjoy theses gems hidden in plain sight.
What? An almost maxed out mbpro in 2014 cost around $2800 (512gb/16gb/i7). The same laptop is now priced over $4000 (2tb/64gb/i9). They are roughly equivalent just under top of the line laptops. They are absolutely going for luxury and the prices are unbelievably high.
I don't think that one is particularly relevant. The quodlibet author is right to complain there.

Distro users should be reporting bugs in the distro bug tracker, and the distro package maintainer should be the one to surface these to the author, or in that specific case, let it rot because there's no maintainer.
>I would love for this case to make it to the European Court in Strasbourg

Are you seriously implying that this is a human rights issue? Because that's what the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is for.

If you're talking about the European Court of Justice in Luxemburg this does't really make sense either but at least somewhat.

It does not stop the exponential spread - that ship has sailed. At this point, it just slows it down by reducing the multiplier - "flatten the curve".

Worse yet is that if we let the measures off, we just get the same curve later. A bit lower at peak, but still exceeding healthcare capacity several times (say, 6x rather than 8x, if we do a 5-month lockdown).

But this still saves lives - just not anywhere as many as we could have saved if we contained it. It also gives us a chance to build more hospitals, manufacture more ventilators etc - although it still won't catch up with demand.

The best endgame is that we either get a vaccine, or enough tests to test everybody, and then do targeted quarantine from there.
A comment section of people who didn't read the article lol. They explicitly said they consider SAT to be a predictive metric of success at MIT. This is not critical of SAT, only SAT subject tests.

While they weren't explicit about why SAT subject tests won't be accepted, this may be a clue:

> No: in fairness to all applicants, we won’t consider them for anyone. We think it would be unfair to consider scores only from those who have scored well and therefore choose to send them to us.

Seems reasonable to expect tests which are optional to suffer from heavy selection bias as they described. I'd expect optional tests to also skew towards the rich because there is a cost to each test.

The problem is jail is just about the worst place you could put someone potentially infected.
That's often been my experience as well. Some students choose the major because it is interesting to them and they're smart and motivated, others choose it because they think there's a six figure job on the other side of the door. Smart and motivated people will be good regardless of curriculum content, people doing just enough to get by will be bad regardless of curriculum content.

Novartis/Mylan/Teva to supply millions of chloroquine pills to fight Covid-19
They were happy to get $X price before the panic because they could produce Y units at that price and there was demand for only Y units. If price is not increased there is no reason to believe they could make more units at the same price. In fact, there is strong reason to believe, that they have already lowered the price to such a level where only making Y units is possible. So, if the demand rises above Y then there are just two possible outcomes:
a) price raises to produce more units and satisfy the new demand
b) price remain the same and all additional demand remains unsatisfied.

Interestingly, Denuvo was the cause of one of the most annoying bugs I've ever had to look at. A crash bug which only appeared after applying their patch to the executable.
Well said. I just wish the Zen Garden would put a big banner at the top that says "the cascade turned out to be a terrible idea, now all CSS is JS, and it's scoped to the component using exclusively single-class-selectors with non-deterministic names."

I see quaint selectors like `#main aside .wrapper .design-selection` and just hope jr devs aren't trying to emulate them.

Anyway, the ventilator hardware is relatively easy to make, a gas pump, reduction and humidifier, plus a few hoses.
Literally your granddad's CPAP sleep apnea machine is (almost?) good enough, if it has tuned oxygen intake. I would wager intubating actually makes most problems worse in case of damaged lungs, but with low odds only.

The real problem will be getting actual oxygen (concentrators are not free) and people to tune the system.

If you had a multiple choice quiz with the actual questions hidden you would get a normal distribution in results. Anything where you sum lots of small random effects.
People not having jobs means they could end up homeless and vulnerable. Hard to practice social distancing in a homeless shelter and get access to adequate nutrition, especially if they become overpopulated, and there could be a huge amount of deaths as a result as well. Is the government going to suddenly pay everyone's rent that loses a job? $1000 checks won't pay rent in many part of the country.

> Well in China they seem to have forced everyone to stay home?

Well, it's China.

> The UK appears to have decided allowing 500,000 of us to die was a bad idea and we're now on "lockdown".

500,000 people dying wasn't going to happen. Korea's death rate is closer to 0.4%, almost entirely the older folks who were to be quarantined at home during this process anyways. Korea's death rate for under-40's is 0-0.1%, so at worst, ignoring that vulnerable folks in those demographics would also be quarantined, the death toll would less than 50K -- probably much, much less, and not drastically out of line with a bad flu year.

> I'm not sure we can tell what the rates are, what's the testing false positive rate? UK gave up testing a while back (except emergency hospital admissions).

Supportive treatment is the only thing you can do anyways. Beyond that PCR tests will only tell you if you currently actively have the disease not if you had it before and recovered. We need antibody tests for that.
So, what if we had client that would "account" for that delay and perform correction measures when mixing the audio streams? Net gaming has kind of solved it, of course for lower bandwidth streaming, but I feel that bandwidth is not the issue here .
