Oh dear. An unstable Russia, a confident and resurgent China with something to prove, a United States distracted with its own internal problems... are we going to see World War III?
No idea about their profitability, but doing a big raise before a recession to try and tide you through with minimal layoffs is probably not a bad idea. (Yeah, I'm sure this has been in the works for a while before the coronavirus hit the fan, but the signs of recession have been brewing for a while, bulls notwithstanding.)
What's really disappointing is the degree to which we subsidize the incredible climate costs of non-urban people. When the carbon taxes are finally required, rural Americans will learn just how much they've been externalizing.

Our food will be more expensive and it should be but all those other parts of rural living are just this horrendous climate abuse.

EDIT: Oops, I mean the costs should be baked in. Obviously governments should provide food aid.

Singapore is doing the same. At first I thought their response was a bit excessive with the temperature checks in every office building, etc

However, even though the borders are now heavily restricted, inside the country most things goes on as normal. There are fewer people out, but I'm still having trouble finding parking at the mall for example.

Of course this may not last, and at some point we might see a huge increase in the number of cases, but the total daily new cases has been low until now.

I'd take that an indicator that the strategy works, at least as a tool to slow down the spread.

I've spent 2 years now developing a pretty decent sized stack on k8s. I've used microk8s, minikube, and Docker Desktop's built-in kubernetes distro for a while. I feel like docker desktop worked the best for me.

However, I've wasted so much time over the past 2 years trying to figure out why something wasn't working, only to find out it was because there were differences between the k8s distro I was using, and our production system. Ultimately I found the best solution was deploying exactly what we run in production on some spare bare metal I had laying around (after adding a hundred gigs of RAM).

Luckily we have a production setup that is designed to run on-prem, so this was an option for me. Regardless, I think having as close to production as possible will make your life easier.

That being said, I still might try this project out.

That depends on how old I am. If I'm in my 80s with a fulfilling life behind me, playing russian roulette would disturb me a lot less than if were a young adult with a potential life before me. From elsewhere in this thread, it seems like simply being that old in the first place is like playing russian roulette anyway (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22600562)

Now obviously in this case you'd be playing it twice instead of just once. But I hope that by the time I'm that old I've had enough time to come to terms with my mortality, write a will, make amends with family, etc. Because there are much worse prognosis's for somebody at that age than 15% mortality rate.

Or to look at this from another angle: 'extremely' bad is inherently relative. And taken relative to other common ailments people that old content with, I don't think 15% chance of death qualifies as 'extreme'. If 15% is 'extreme' then what adjective would you use for a cancer with a 50% mortality rate? "Super-dooper-uber extreme"?
Not affiliated with the federal government? You do know about the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 don't you? Member banks are required to buy stock in their district Federal Reserve Bank and keep a certain amount of money on "reserve" at the Fed as set by the Governors. The Fed Board of Governors is appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate.
Its board is appointed by the President, so you can't really say it isn't affiliated with the government to some degree.
I've never been to California. The fill-up around '99 was in fact in Arizona, although I haven't been there in a long time. Also the only time I filled a nearly empty tank for under $10, as my car got almost 40 mpg and the usable capacity was probably under 10 gallons.

As a member of that group, I honestly wonder what use our work will be due to regulations. Most hospitals cannot use uncertified equipment or software. I think however that there might be a large policy shift where these projects may become acceptable for use after some new or temporary legislation in 1-2 months. At that time, the projects may be extremely valuable

They are a giant part of the US economy, however they don't represent 2/3 of US GDP, their sales are equivalent to that figure. These are global corporations that in many cases do business in nearly every country.

Many of the largest S&P 500 companies have 2/3, 3/4 or more of their business overseas. They're typically under-represented in the US domestic economy, as the US is ~22% of global GDP, and these are typically among the largest corporations in their segments.

There are some promising drugs that attenuate the virus, and the earlier the intervention, the better. If we can test, and if these drugs do in fact work, we can administer them in an orderly way.

That’s interesting - I wonder how it actually works, other than some hand wavy military technology?

Wow, this post is really amazing!Thanks! I had a couple of question about the following:

>"If input A is high, the first transistor will conduct and connect the yellow strip to ground (dotted line 1)"

How does A being high connect the yellow to ground exactly if it doesn't cross the yellow strip? I'm not understanding what the dotted line represent I guess.

>"On the left, the yellow metal line ties together parts of the gate. In the middle is the blue ground line, which is critical to the operation of the gate."

Is the yellow metal line much much shorter than all the other vertical lines then? The other vertical lines seem to be longer in the pic. Why does input line "A" not cross the yellow metal line but the other 3 do?

What is the actual function of the yellow vertical strip then?
If I had to bet, it'd be a corporate debt bubble propped up by the Federal Reserve low interest rates and practice of quantitative easing. As the coronavirus creates a supply shock, businesses aren't going to be able to produce enough goods to sell and as a result, they will default on their debts. Similar to the 2008 burst, this is going to cause a ripple effect in the financial industry where banks are going to try to deleverage, inadvertently causing a credit crisis that slows down the global economy because no bank will want to lend out to something that's not a sure bet. How did the Federal Reserve start this? Because by having credit easy to attain, companies were willing to issue riskier bonds with higher yields.

It's not either/or. They're complementary, and in a situation of adequate supply for the anticipated demand it would be wise to use both. What I'm objecting to is the fact that people only talk about masks, dismissing with extreme prejudice and hostility any concerns about either effectiveness or supply. Then some of them turn right around and make up objections to glove use. The fact is that no one thing by itself will save us. We need to use all the tools at our disposal, not fixate on one and ignore others.
Oil is a totally different beast. Simple supply demand economics doesnt work due to geopolitical games that OPEC+ plays.
You realise this isn't going to play out by June, right?

Do the math on those "flatten the curve" graphs and work out the X-axis given the projected infection rates (20%-60% of population), hospitalisation rate (15%-30%), days in hospital required (6-9) and the number of beds available.

This ends with a vaccine or a mutation that gives (partial?) immunity and a lower death rate.
> If you were to change the cipher you are using from one day to the next one, you would need to upgrade your WireGuard software on all those laptops, phones, etc. at the same time. That is literally impossible. Administrators who have tried this needed months to deploy configuration changes.

Nonsense. That's what userspace tooling is for. You automatically deploy a new version with a new configuration file to use a new server. Over time, laptops & co migrate to it.
Later on you revoke the previous version and shut down the server.

It's done all the time.
Yeah, a person could distinguish them this way, but you're using the passive voice. Who habitually uses the words in this manner consistently, in what contexts?
yeah, the rebalancing is a very fair point and perhaps something my long-term (401k) needs. I don't think it's being done automatically today.
I was just thinking the same thing. My 5yo son has a wimpy immune system and asthma. We have spent some scary times in the ER/PICU when he gets a bad lung based cold. I am thinking about how I can convert one of my old CPAPs into a ventilator if I can't get him into a hospital to get the care he will need due to the healthcare system being overwhelmed. It should be obvious, but I will say it to be clear. This would be a last resort kind of thing on my end. The last thing I want to do is "wing it" with any kind of medical care on my kids.
so if you have flu like symptoms are you going to the hospital now? the vast majority of cov2 cases result in mild flu like symptoms and only 25% of the severe cases require medical intervention (according to WHO). so shouldnt the advice be to not seek medical attention at all? if you need the medical intervention youre in the 80 plus cohort that is already "flooding medical facilities" (been in one lately?). im just trying to do the long division and work out the logic that leads to the conclusion we should gamble with the livlihoods of huge percentage of the population for 7% mortality reduction in seniors. couldnt the exact same effect be achieved by quarantining seniors?

That's only half true. While it's true that the in-game server browser would cease to function, you could absolutely still connect and play with people on independent servers. And this isn't a hypothetical; there were (probably still are) many independent server trackers and aggregators allowing you to find servers without Valve's servers being up. And I know that this all works because I'd host offline LAN parties with friends were we'd run all sorts of offline-compatible games like TF2, CS, Quake, Unreal, Halo, Sourceforts, Gmod, etc.
No comment about the Mu itself but:

> Our approach to keeping software comprehensible is to reduce information hiding and abstraction, and instead encourage curiosity about internals

YES! Precisely. Most "bicycle for the mind" or "tool for thought" approaches go the completely opposite direction accidentally. Many programming languages and communities nowadays too.

In reality, if you wanna teach, you have to unveil the guts of the system. Sure, it's "scary" and all, but still, initial hand-holding & letting newcomers see the internals, rather than presenting an overly polished surface at the expensive of everything else, is a much better designed learning process. Design is "how it works" after all. *

Related: a common misconception when folks defend abstractions & encapsulation is to raise the issue that letting newcomers explore the internals causes too much trouble. That's an obvious strawman; these methods are not championing everyone writing anything everywhere. They can stay read-only, but public. E.g. an interface can expose its internal data types, without allowing consumers to actually leverage that (enforced through types or something else). This is easily doable, and you don't sacrifice learnability in the service of team programming sanity.

* This point seems to get dismissed quickly by folks who only care about visual polish nowadays. Imo this is naive. I care about visuals a _lot_, and we should definitely aiming for both learning polish and surface polish. But you can't let the latter calcify the former.

My advice for all the "tool for thought"/"bicycle for the mind" projects: all your opaque designs and small interface flourishes falter in the face of a properly exposed and clean-ed up paradigm, in the long run. This applies on a smaller scope to modern libraries too. That boilerplate generator you mega-fine-tuned to the point you delight yourself in guessing the user's mind, ultimately is a roadblock in the learner's thought process. Expose the boilerplate and document how you're automating it instead. You're trying to teach fishing, not to show off your own fish.

Another good analogy I've heard elsewhere is to ask whether you're teaching people how to cook, or just building a microwave. For a tool for thought product ask yourself if you ended up accidentally making "an appliance".
No they think this is to little to late, we should have done this massively a week or more ago. Your comment reeks of uninformed, cherry picked to fit your world view, drivel.

> To illustrate, in the Netherlands we are in lockdown, because of the COVID-19 hazard: you are expected to only leave your house if it is absolutely critical, such as to pick up food from the food distribution centers, to get meds, to go work in a hospital, etc.

You have food distribution centers?

I'm jealous.
The problem is the virus will already have done it's damage by the time the vaccine comes out. Mayhaps it will be useful for the next pandemic that comes out of Wuhan's wet markets.
They are less effective, not ineffective.
Here's my barroom analysis:

Theoretically there are two factors that make this virus dangerous:

1. Experience elsewhere in the world suggests the transmission rate is high under normal social conditions. Say 2:1 or 3:1. If those numbers are accurate, the infection will spread exponentially. Are they accurate? Dunno.

2. Experience elsewhere in the world suggests a high rate of infections require long stays in ICU, with some of those cases dying. What rate and how long and how many? Dunno.

But there is some combination of transmission rate and hospital load where the healthcare system gets absolutely gummed up. If that happens, they must deal with the scenario where large numbers of patients who normally would have been treated get triaged to to end of life instead. I assume that would mean all major cities start digging mass graves, because what else do you do with 1000s of unplanned dead bodies all at once?

The purpose of the lockdowns is to lower transmission rate below 1:1, where it will essentially fizzle out on its own as long as we remain locked down. Again I've read that experience elsewhere in the world suggests this can be effective. Again, I'm not aware of any especially convincing evidence of this.

Given this model, the optimistic outcome is a short lockdown will buy enough time to come up with less harmful interventions. For example, better testing would allow healthy people to return to normal life while keeping transmission rate below 1:1. Or improved treatment would reduce the load on the healthcare system. Or a vaccine. Or maybe the estimated parameters are too high, but we can't know until more testing is done.

Less optimistic outcome is lurching along in uncertainty while the economy implodes, followed by the unpopular mass grave scenario.
Sure. Just like it's worse for everybody that I try to max my investments in my 401k before contributing to after tax accounts.
