You cannot assume that recovering from the virus confers immunity, especially when "the virus" is already "two strains of virus" (and will almost definitely end up mutating more before this is over).
I have been taking my temperature regularly with a WiThings 'Thermo' smart thermometer and am pleased with it. I was able to purchase it using my FSA funds:

The virus doesn't care about our posts. It does not read them, does not try to influence them. It is mindless and it may not even be alive, depending on the definition of life.

The tools you use to counter a disinformation campaign are not the tools you use to stop a virus. And with authorities actually getting stuff wrong stopping heterodox views is a suicide pact.

China is doing this because they're worried about the stability of their political system. Ours will survive goldbug1989 posting about how much they hate the quarantine or karenlovesyoga writing that essential oils will protect us.
I don't buy it. Yes, Linux never breaks userland. Yes, ifconfig is deprecated. But I still don't see how these are related.
That's true so long as everyone is dependent on each other. If, everyone is dependent on one country, that doesn't hold

China has a near monopoly on a lot of production. Countries that depend on them certainly won't go to war with them, but that doesn't hinder China from starting a war with those countries, and even gives them an advantage. And it doesn't stop dependent countries from warring with each other and that could even be beneficial to China.

N.B. I use China as an example only. Replace China with any country that might have a near monopoly on production of some kind. The point I'm trying to make isn't "ahhh China scary", it's that interconnectedness may only prevent war if it's actually interconnected, and not a monopoly.
Funny you say that. We had someone in a remote office complaining of neverending WIFI problems, but never reproducable. None of the coworkers mentioned any problems. All network statistics said everything fine. One day I happen to be in the neighbourhood so let's take a look.

Turns out the line was upgraded by the phone company, but the old modem never removed. So there was a new phone line connected to a new modem connected to nothing. Next to it a literally crumbling phone line, an old modem thrown on the ground and buried under a mess of boxes and overheating, connected to their core router. Monitoring was a mess of statistics from the old and new system thrown together, so nobody noticed for over 2 years.

Why she was the only complainer at that office, I will never understand. But she stopped complaining that very day.
I've read(but can't seem to find the article) that it's estimated that 95% of wuhan population is not immune to the virus.

So I really doubt there are that many i dividual with undetected virus.
Of critical note:

The day Twitter shut down Zerohedge for reporting on COVID-19, that was the market peak, and roughly a week prior to broad awareness of the scope of the problem.

Put another way: Twitter killed people by suppressing voices that were sounding the alarm.

To this day, they have neither reinstated, nor apologized to ZH for suppressing information that could have saved lives. Jack Dorsey is personally responsible for people dying.

You can always travel back to the US on an expired passport. You just can't go anywhere else without a valid one.
It may well be that the search for "truth" has brought us here. However, we found out that "truth" is always a relative. It has to be rooted in assumptions/axioms.

So I would say, it runs on, good choices of axioms and the ability to perform logical deductions.

Set Theory is an attempt to come up with axioms that are so simple that no-one who is not completely out of it's mind would doubt their "truth". This is stuff like:

- There exists a set

- Two sets are equal if all their elements are equal

- We can form subsets from sets, by picking out elements

The only exception is the axiom of choice, which is less intuitively evident, but a technical necessity to build and reason about infinite sets like the real numbers.
Oil is still profitable, just not enough to run the country.

Imagine it's a bunch of small restaurants. The Saudi place is owned by a large family and is the biggest, leanest place running the highest profit but this Russian crew is edging in with a place across the street. Both sets of owners have deep pockets and can keep their place running for a while. Then the US is the fancy food cart in the parking lot down the road that costs more per plate and has less capacity but is right next to the office buildings so gets the most attention at lunch.

The Saudis are still covering all costs and making money but the owners have other big expenses that are draining their wallets. The drain is faster than what the restaurant can earn but they would be worse off if it shut down for a few months.

The Russians have muscled in and though not as lean are keeping up and still covering costs (though it's a lot harder to see the cash flow, it's sketchy).

Then the food cart is running on really low margins and has no backing, it's an independent place, but it is running profitable thanks to the lunch rush. If it had to shut down it wouldn't be a huge loss each month in fixed costs like rent as the trailer can be stored.

The Saudis and Russians want the food cart to go out of business asap so the lunch customers have to come to them and bump their profits so they have to stay open and but up big lunch deals, even if a virus is going around that slows down the whole industry. Hopefully they can weather the drop in margins until the food cart is no longer making money and gets put in storage (where it will take a while to hire staff and bring back up to speed if it ever makes it back out).

Then, it's an isolated price war between the Saudi and Russian owned places until they recognize a duopoly and mutually leave prices high while still pulling in the lunch crowd as they are the only options or tying to undermine the other but at least the food cart is gone and the office workers are all reliant on them for lunch.
When treating bilateral interstitial pneumonia, you're almost always intubating. Patients presenting BIP require higher oxygenation than a CPAP style mask can provide. Using a limited availability ventilator with just a mask is a waste at this time.

Twitter helped me realize the scope of this problem while the President was blowing it off. I was able to stock up on food, water, N95 respirators, books, and movies, and prep a bunch of stuff into the freezer. 3 weeks later the SF Costco is like a war zone. I’ve been in my house and backyard for 19 days.

Here's an example from a decade ago (ifconfig was deprecated then too):

- bonded interfaces

- with vlans

- with multiple IPs

If this sounds unrealistic, it was the standard config for index arbitrage at an investment bank.

The interfaces, added with distro scripts, will use `ip` and all the interfaces will show up in `ip addr` and work perfectly. ifconfig won't show about half of them - they won't be up, or down, they just won't appear.
Vertical integration can certainly be a great approach and can have many advantages. It can also limit your risk of exposure to outside events.

However, my point is and was that controlling your whole supply chain is impossible.

Computers are critical to everyone's supply chain, including YKKs. If they aren't and YKK can fall back to pen, pencil, and paper then they are dependent on those manufacturers and industries.

Again every business and every one is DEEPLY dependent on hundreds if not thousands of others.

Indeed, I used to drink coffee until rather late and sleep well. 20 years ago, I started ti limit myself to 3 cups per day, and now drinking coffee at night keeps me awake (I think; never bothered to experiment thoroughly to find out). Age may have an influence, as might habituation.
Discover Python and Patterns (20): Better Commands – Design Patterns and Games
I see your HN comment from 2 weeks ago and raise you with a point in this article lifted from a recent Science paper. Namely, ...individuals with undetected infections were so prevalent in China that they apparently were the infection source for 86 percent of confirmed cases.

This is strong evidence of asymptomatic circulation.

This conclusion is not in contradiction to the evidence behind your previous comment. In mid-February with ~60k confirmed cases that would be 300-600k asymptomatic ones. Which means that China did not have millions of asymptomatic people at the time. And so it is no surprise that a broad testing regime failed to find what did not exist at that time.

However what it also means is that as the number of confirmed cases skyrockets, it WILL be true (and possibly already is) that the number of asymptomatic cases will be in the millions.

So if someone tweets something said by one expert, but which another expert disagrees with, then what? Do you have to cite the expert who agrees with you in order to not get yanked? Twitter doesn't have thousands of fact checkers/researchers on staff, last I checked, so presumably they're not in a great position to determine whether a tweet is backed by any experts, assuming just one is enough.
Leisure services should actually have a high priority if you plan to keep people home for some weeks and want them to stay there.

If you used systemd instead of cron it would at least run as soon as it came back, if it was out when it should have run. That's usually sufficient for backups and such.
> 4. They don't make them like they used to. Older games had a hardcore element to them, were often quite difficult and unforgiving (a result of less market pressure and less polish). Instead of online guides and pro streamers showing how they are played, the games had a mystery about them; we often didn't even have a manual for a game we copied.

Right. Pick up a copy of Dead Cells and come back here in 100 hours.
We had the same problem back in 2011 when floods in Thailand wiped out almost all of the world's hard drive manufacturing capacity across all manufacturers. It took almost two years for prices per GB to fall back to pre-flood levels.

Relying on only one country seemed as foolish then as it seems now, but we haven't learned the lesson yet.
Not to be the tinfoil-hat wearer in the room, but you must remember that the CDC is walking the line between "providing good health advice" and "minimizing public panic".

If the USA had a steady supply of masks, they would almost certainly be asking or requiring everyone in public to have a mask on. Because we don't, they have been promoting the idea that "you don't need a mask" in order to minimize panic and make masks more available to people that really need them. Unfortunately this "you don't need a mask" statement is being misinterpreted by people to thinking that masks serve no purpose.

But lets just agree that this disease would not be spreading as fast if everyone had a mask on. If nothing else it would prevent people who have the disease (and maybe don't know they have it yet) from spreading it. Surgical masks are effective at stopping particles coming from the mouth of the user. It also minimizes face touching by creating a physical barrier. N95 masks provide the same purpose, but also offer the added value of filtering particles coming from the outside, towards the user.
It’s not feasible for you to see all opinions given the amount of content on Twitter. Twitter hides content from you all the time through ranking (if enabled) and follower graphs. They’re choosing to hide more content now than they normally would, which is their right as a private publisher.

Linux doesn't require Windows to operate, but it might work better if it's packaged in Windows.

The big question mark for me is drivers. Having great drivers to take advantage of hardware across a multitude of different platforms is an issue of market share and market demand. I have an NVMe drive, 16GB of the fastest RAM, workstation-grade networking, and Dolby speakers on my laptop. I can't take advantage of it, because I accidentally erased Windows 10 Professional for Workstations when dual booting Ubuntu, that had all the specialized drivers. I'm fine with Ubuntu, but I kind of wish I had Windows + WSL instead.
>What "utility" do you think exists for the ISP to increase their bandwidth capabilities?

In the US? The fact that everybody doesn't hate their guts. A future government could easily screw them over in the future, because the voters don't like those companies.

In other countries? Competition. You offer a better service than other ISPs. This also gives everyone better internet and internet services can offer more things. Much poorer countries than the US and Germany have much better internet for a lower cost. As long as there's a big disparity there customers aren't going to be happy.
Can you share how you configured your bluetooth headset? I have a pair of sony's noise cancelling ones, but I could never get the mic to work on linux. Thanks in advance!

This is about the only gripe I've had with linux desktop in recent years. For everything else, its been at par or better than windows/osx for me. I do mostly programming, music synthesis/recording and photogrammetry/image processing on a Dell XPS-15, and its been great.
Of course it could but once you have a starter template setup it becomes an easy to jump right in.
After the postmodernist wave, analytic philosophers have attempted to rescue the notion of truth. All those attempts, including the ones you listed, change the meaning of 'truth' significantly, compared to how non-philosophers use that term.

None of the listed options is so convincing that everybody using their rationality would immediately agree with the proposed model of truth. That seems to indicate that also for these options, rationality alone is insufficient to establish truth, and a belief/irrational/social factor still would be at play.

I'm not implying that the mentioned approaches developed by analytic philosophers are useless. They do deepen our understanding how reasoning and fact establishing works. But in my opinion they are still very far away of solving the Münchhausen Trilemma.
I thought Thimbleweed was a little half-baked at first, too, but I stuck with it and ended up liking it. I dunno if I'll ever play it again, but I did end up enjoying it the first time.

Cruise ships have a lot in the 40-60 range.

This gives them a higher median than the general population, but a lower density of the truly old. And deaths are strongly clustered among the truly old.

This is a non-issue & complete speculation. Netflix already manages stream quality based on network conditions and has likely done so for years. If the government wants to ensure network access they should be talking to the ISPs, IMO.
If that is bizarre to you then you are simply out of touch. A majority of Twitter users treat the site as neutral carrier of tweets. Nothing happens to a censorship resistant platform that is used to execute violent attacks or share illegal pornography. And that is the beauty of it. Your question is like asking what happens to the room in which I and my co-conspirators plan a coup.

Famous Aids Researcher Wants to Find a Coronavirus Cure
There's no reason why someone can't get their act together and fix ifconfig, or if that is insurmountable, rewrite it while maintaining the same outward appearances.

I think this is not specific to Linux at all, and is not really about kernel ABI. This is a problem I see a lot, often in proprietary software too. Firstly, people opt to rewrite before they fix or even before they fully understand the old thing. Secondly, people confuse interface with implementation, and often don't bother trying to make their rewrites interoperable with the old thing.

Another example of that last one, in Linux from the late 90s, is ALSA. FreeBSD for example chose to fix the problems and maintain the old OSS API for audio devices. Linux introduced a very complicated new API.

[By the way, I spotted one sort of technical error in the article. I don't think most software keeps private copies of kernel data structures in their source tree. Rather, when they #include the kernel headers, they end up using an effectively-private version of those structures and constants in their object code. This is slightly different but a similar result.]
Is this really a problem at all? Doesn't Netflix select a lower quality stream automatically if the player buffer is being read from faster than it's being filled?

It's already in their interest to not have users watching their video "Buffering...". I'm sure that makes users disconnect. If users disconnect they won't generate revenue.

In other words, in cases of congestion on the Internet, doesn't Netflix and similar services already "slow down streaming"?
To put it simply, I like it. Plus, I have a starter template project that makes it easy to just code and go.
It sounds like there are antibody tests in the offing:

There is really low number of infected people and also low density of people walking outside in Czech republic. I am not sure you can make a lot out of it. I think requiring face covers outside is more panic than reasonable measure.

I live in Prague and when I go outside I meet someone once in few minutes and majority of the people are not wearing face cover despite it is required. Mostly they have it prepared on the neck to put it on when they go inside. One doctor in TV did not recommend extensive usage of face masks as cheap or improvised masks tend to get wet after 20 minutes. This significantly reduces their effectiveness. Risk of being infected outside is really low unless you are in crowded area.
I also grew up in the CSS Zen Garden era, and I've become a big Tailwind proponent.

To me what is cringe-worthy is hanging on to ideas about what this medium is that just no longer apply. For better or worse, the web stack has been appropriated into an application framework. I am not making documents that have styles applied to them. It's just not a metaphor that works anymore.

The HTML, Javascript and CSS in a single-page application are not separable in any meaningful way. Maybe for some parts of your app, you can maintain this separation of you try, but it's not something that adds any value at all. Even if it could work, there would be absolutely no reason to try. The type of redesigns I do on this type of code affects HTML, Javascript and CSS equally, always.

Tailwind, to me, solves a bunch of very real ergonomic issues when working with large web applications, and results in far clearer code.

Debian is the first distro to allows volunteer to maintain packages. Then Ubuntu releases Hoary and gives invitation to be a MOTU maintainer with hangout channel in FreeNode, later on, Mercurial was released and Launchpad.net was created during Dapper days at the time where GIT is not yet mainstream, which gives way to PPA packages, then after a year, ArchLinux gains popularity, which allows anyone to submit packages using `yaourt`, a custom package manager on top of `pacman`.
