Be careful. The whole point of Docker/k8s was to simplify operational complexity - and to that end it's done a great job. Yes k8s has complexity, but it's a known and knowable complexity vs. the unknown complexities of the processes of yore.

Does that mean there can't be improvements? Of course not. If you're working on simplifying things even further then great. But I'm concerned with your ability to execute if you believe Docker/k8s have made things more complicated because that signals to me you may not realize where the complexities lie.

Meanwhile I'd love to hear about your ideas to make things less complex.

If you are looking for a server around rclone, then checkout https://github.com/daptin/daptin which is primarily a headless cms but using rclone for asset storage purpose(think blob columns).

You can also expose rclone synced cloud storage folders over FTP/HTTP. For instance https://docs.dapt.in/ is a rclone synced gdrive folder exposed running on daptin :)

Yes you do. You get exactly what you pay for.

Wow, the song N.W.O. by the band Ministry is almost 30 years old now, and it was a known 'trigger phrase' for everyone from conspiracy theorists to Evangelicals for a while before that.

I believe Bush Sr.'s creepy use of the phrase was in 1990, which was weird because it had been around since the first World War and had developed a lot of paranoid associations. I still wonder to what extent it was intentional, and why. Maybe he just thought it was funny.
How to make the best DIY business cards
We all want to live long, and people now often live till 80+, but when a person 80+ years old dies does it make sense to search for a cause of the death? My grandmother died last year from pneumonia. She was 89, which is way above the average life expectancy. Any small infection can kill a person at this age. Is there a statistics that shows the mortality rate in Italy before the pandemic.
Somewhat unrelated note: there's an interesting side effect among depressed people in my social circle - they seem to be... happier now?

This is why people used silver and copper for pots, plates and cutlery for ages.

Overusing silver leads to blue pigmentation - hence 'blue blood' - as mostly upper classes used silver plates.

Right. One issue we’re having globally is that we simply cannot get an accurate fatality rate.

We’re only seeing the sickest, most critical patients and the most overwhelmed hospital systems in cities.

I think MOST patients being tested in hotspots like Lombardy are those who are already at the hospital, and if you’re at the hospital you’re not in good shape.

Probably tons of positive cases at home with a fever, or mild symptoms or no symptoms.

And of course, tons of people who are not tested and probably never will be. Totally asymptomatic.

We can’t get an accurate fatality rate without these “infected but asymptomatic” cases.

Didn’t an Italian doctor do a small study showing 98% asymptomatic positive cases?
> Is the band matching the specific SARS-CoV-2 or it's just recognizing any coronavirus in circulation? AFAIK coronaviruses aren't that rare and are present in humans every year.

I've heard a podcast (in German) [0] with Christian Drosten who is one of the co-authors of the pt-pcr paper [1]. The relevant excerpt from the transcript (deepl translated):

> A very, very large validation study has been conducted. I would have to open it on my computer to go back to the numbers. But we have large numbers of real patient samples - with known positive evidence of other corona viruses and all the other cold viruses that we know of, and a whole number of these for each individual virus - and a whole number of patient samples, that is hundreds of samples with other corona viruses and other cold viruses, have been tested in this test. And not once has there been a false positive reaction. So this test does not react against any other human coronavirus or any other human cold virus.

> It is true, but this is of course completely misleading information, in theory this test would react against the old SARS corona virus. But that has not been present in humans for 16 years. And in theory, this test would also react against a whole range of bat coronaviruses, but they do not exist in humans either.

Something else to keep in mind is this part:

> The figure 5 shows, for the patients who died positive COVID-19, the median time in days, who spend from onset of symptoms to death (8 days), from onset of symptoms to hospitalization (4 days) and from hospitalization to death (4 days).

At this point, we know the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions are dying fast; it is also not unreasonable to think they're more vulnerable overall.

But not enough time has passed to say yet whether younger people without pre-existing conditions are not particularly susceptible or are just a little less susceptible but take longer to succumb. If the statistics are a week for someone over 65, from onset to death, and a month for someone under 40 w/o pre-existing conditions, it's going to skew the hell out of the statistics this early in the outbreak.

How many were so sick that they would have died anyway?

I read that they were testing dead people and the theory was, their count was so high because they would add people to it that would have died anyway but just happen to be infected right before their death.

Edit: I think this is an interesting question. Why do Italy, France and Spain have such high death ratios? Are they measuring more than needed or are the others measuring not enough?

Since everyone seems to be all negative I will share a story about the greatest day of my life. This happened around 10 months ago and it involves hash browns.

Due to mouth radiation I had to have all my teeth pulled and then two months of radiation and chemo just made my mouth a nightmare. I hit the point where trying to get down warm chicken broth was impossible. Everything I tried to eat just resulted in hours of pain to get down a swallow. So I didn't eat for around six months. I have a feeding tube for slurry to provide nutrients. It takes a bit to get used to getting full without using your mouth. There is a bit of a disconnect between your mouth and stomach.

I hit a point where my neck muscles were so unused they almost stopped working. I couldn't even swallow a tiny pill. So the doctors started talking about putting a balloon down my throat and inflating and deflating it a bunch of times to get the muscles working again. Fuck everything about that.

So I decided to just suffer and I started eating the blue box. (mac and cheese, kraft dinner for those up north). It was all I ate for months. I like noodles al dente but I had to overcook them to the point of mush so I could swallow them. Then I slowly worked my way to firm once I was able to normally swallow again.

But back to the greatest day of my life. I had only eaten mac and cheese for months and I decided to get adventurous. We had frozen hash browns in the freezer. So I cooked some in a ton of butter. My neck was still really raw so I barely browned them and covered them in ketchup to help them slide down since I can't chew anything.

It worked and was amazing. Then I had the bright idea to cover them in cheese so I ran up to Safeway and got a bag of shredded cheese. That was next level shit. I used to love the fried tater-tops covered in cheese and ketchup from Taco-Time.

But yeah. I was under 100 pounds and I put on about 15 pounds in a matter of weeks. That was 95% hash browns and Safeway cheese.

I think I need to put the internet down. Everything is so negative. Six months ago my good day would be your nightmare.

Signal processing is key to embedded machine learning
I made an e-ink clock, but ultimately found it unsuitable for my desk. The problem is that when the display refreshes, it switches from white to black and back to white, and all this activity in the corner of your eye ends up being quite distracting. You are guaranteed to look at it whenever it changes, making it worse than a notification on your phone in terms of interruption. That might be the right thing for "you have a meeting now!" (you're interrupted anyway), but it's not great for passive information like the time.

I am told that with some amount of hacking and a supportive chipset/vendor, you can avoid most of this without reducing the lifetime of the display with the right calibration constants for the device... but nobody seems to have open-sourced anything like this and even places like Adafruit don't provide proper datasheets.

And your post doesn't even mention that many of crates, even important ones like crypto, aren't even fully documented and it's very common to just hit the wall of missing entries and no over-arching manual on how the crate should be used.
> If manufacturing supply chains are more geographically dispersed they are automatically slower and less dynamic.

You keep hammering on this geographic dispersal, but as far as I can see, no one is suggesting geographically dispersing or relocation supply chains, but are instead suggesting replicating supply chains in different geographical locations. You know, the standard approach to adding resiliency to literally any system.

> Some do and several industries are regulated when it comes to sourcing. [...] there's a competitive advantage to having a supply chain more susceptible to rare disruption but far less expensive.

Yes, and I'm suggesting that a more comprehensive legal approach where corporations providing critical goods or services should have to perform risk assessments and ensure a maximum tolerable risk. Everyone recognizes the competitive advantage of ignoring risk. I described it in my very first post to which you replied, and I then said improved risk management should be legislated.
thanks so much, this will be a fun rabbit hole i think

Creator here. As we mentioned in the website HelpNinja was created for small businesses that need a simple helpdesk system with affordable pricing.
Most of the current helpdesk software available out in the market started as simple but then it gets bloated along the way to serve bigger customers or they add too many features and increase the cost.
We felt there was a need for a help desk that stays simple and has the same affordable pricing focussed on small businesses that don’t have too much funding.

Our promise HelpNinja will stay as a simple helpdesk and with the same $15/user/month pricing for life.
Intubation can lead to bacterial pneumonia, which would be treated with antibiotics.

> Why are they overwhelmingly treating patients with antibiotics in cases of viral pneumonia and not antivirals (Remdesivir)/ chloroquine?

Because a bunch of these patients are people with suspected, not confirmed, covid-19 and so they're treating pneumonia which they think is probably bacterial but possibly viral.

Also, they were thinking that covid-19 in already vulnerable people was damaging the lungs and making bacterial pneumonia much more likely, so they were treating preventatively.

> yet alone having younger asymptomatic carriers cough on them.

Droplets in the air are one route of transmission, but there are others. It's likely that most people are not infected via this route, but via fomites. Infected people cough onto a surface, and later someone touches that surface and then their face.
Interesting. This has been done before (after LV shooting) but has conventionally been considered as an intervention suitable for treating mass trauma. That's because people who are otherwise in good health are easier to ventilate than people with stiff, non-compliant lungs caused by inflammatory viral ARDS.

Ventilating people with ARDS is hard. You have to use low, carefully considered tidal volumes and essentially allow the patient to be hypercapnic (CO2 higher than ideal), sometimes quite severely. You're doing a delicate dance between ventilating in a way the lungs can take and maintaining blood gases compatible with life.
