How are his arguments non-political if he follows the agenda as a politician and doctor to prove over eleven years unsuccessfully that pandemics are fake?

He was an expert in what field? He's not a virologist or epidemiologist and preferably spreads his "theories" through right wing propaganda.

And if that weren't enough red flags he also had someone working as his second in command that wasn't even a doctor. He made a mailman a public health official. Please read this out loud to understand how incompetent of a doctor you have to be to make the mailman the second highest health inspection officer in the city.

What of those things qualified him the most to you as an expert to talk about pandemics, virology and epidemiology? I am interested.

With all due respect, I am not the one with the clouded judgement sir. This seems to be a common thing to pretend other people don't see the "truth" in the circles you seem to be active in.

All the relevant points of this video are bullshit. And do not benefit anyone in this crisis, but they spread dangerous misconceptions and want to portrait the gov/system as a bad actor. And by posting them so do you.

Also you got a few great answers to your questions in other comments, go read them , look them up, verify them and then make your opinion around those facts. This is all the attention you'll get from me. Have a nice day and best of health to the wife and kids and that you stay safe in this crisis.

Defender, one of the Mario Maker trolls, wrote a big guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13ZoqeblLs45HuEfTtsOrq6X0...

I'm sure it's possible to make an original troll game (never bet on an artistic idea being impossible), but it certainly seems to make it harder. I've noticed that when the Mario Maker troll community tries to make Super Mario World trolls instead, it's just not as funny. The hacking tools for SMW allow vastly more freedom than MM's editor, since you can always patch the game's code. The decrease in quality might be from a lack of restraint, but I think the element of fair play that MM has is important as well. Everything in MM behaves the way it was programmed by non-trolls (more, Nintendo seems actively anti-troll), so every subversion comes from the level maker showing that they know something about how the game works that the player doesn't.
Calling it "Spanish Flu" is like calling oxygen phlogiston or saying that you get scorpions when you leave a few leaves of basil between two bricks. it's a colloquial name that results in confusion down the line. call things technical, scientific names so that you can trace back a historical line of thought. or don't and pick the opposite groupthink to cancel culture and keep the whole thing plowing along
time to migrate and redeploy, perhaps reface things and setup a new repository.

the trade sanctions thing is about this repository involving paid service:

"Due to U.S. trade controls law restrictions, paid GitHub organization services have been restricted. For free organization accounts, you may have access to free GitHub public repository services (such as access to GitHub Pages and public repositories used for open source projects) for personal communications only, and not for commercial purposes.

what is the alternative? using some open source project that has no clear steward and nearly zero incentive (financial or otherwise) for tracking down esoteric bugs?

mathematica is built by a company that seems to take a lot of pride in quality. they are also clearly incentivized by keeping the company afloat and thus by addressing major issues.

i hear people barking incessantly about open source software in mathematics and science, but i just don't see what would actually be successful. in most people's daily jobs in engineering and even in large science projects, proprietary code is used everywhere. it's the only way to get things done in many cases. in my experience, getting a bug acknowledged, prioritized, and then fixed in open source software is like pulling teeth. what are you going to do with open source mathematics or scientific software where only like a person or two understand the bug? your story could easily have replaced mathematica with sage, and the story wouldn't be changed at all. okay fine, sage is open source. but what's more likely to be successful: (1) you are going to look through the likely millions of lines of code that makes up sage and find what's happening, or (2) you call up wolfram and ask what's going on since you have support for a product that you paid for?

how is open source software supposedly inherently better for math and science research?
Yup. My regional ISP already has infrastructure in place for this. They cache the most watched Netflix shows for a period of time in metro-level data centers. "Otherwise, Netflix would kill our network," a friend said.

It's probably a formal agreement with Netflix, but I'm speculating.
China's 'massive lockdowns' didn't work...

The virus spread throughout the world.

It was never isolated in China.

It isn't causing that many deaths anywhere (except in pockets of older demographics... either crammed together in nursing homes or Italian apartment towers.)

The numbers are pretty straightforward.

Two months ago, I was concerned.

Now, I'm disgusted.
I set up systems in 2009+ that had multiple IPs per phy, bonded, vlan, etc. on linux. I used the config files within the distro (mostly CentOS/RH then) to do this. Worked fine. I developed somewhat better inspection scripting to augment this. My users never had problems with this.

I think the distro tooling used ip under the covers. I didn't care one way or the other. Nor did the users.
China is much more internationally connected and densely populated than Africa is. Pretty much why the rate of international infection skyrocketed after the disease got to Italy.

Africa also it's share of problems and diseases.See Ebola.
So do we do this next time any new illness spread? what if it happened to a poor country? Is this going to be coded as an international law? If so why is the law retrospective? Considering your 1) lack of sanitary standards is more prevalent in poorer countries is the law discriminatory?
> Basic congestion control uses packet drops as a signal of congestion and slows down. You get packet drops if a queue was filled somewhere, which would be the bottleneck between two stations.

Bufferbloat gets in the way of that. As does packet loss due to non-congestion reasons, e.g. noisy or unstable connections at the physical layer.
I said this last night to a friend: The United States (and all nations really) need to look at supply chains the way we look at AWS regions. You don't build anything in just one region when it's in production - you always have redundancy, in this case, geographical and political redundancy if possible.

We have strategic reserves of petroleum, foodstocks, and other necessities. It is time to think about the same with medicines, medical supplies, and common household goods.
This is in direct conflict with what the (UK) broadband providers have said:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51870732
Sounds like there is a bigger story there and it's probably a managed SAN.

I've operated pretty significant government shared infrastructures like this in the past... we were offering fast, flash-cached disk in 2010 for about $5,000/TB. $10k/TB is not unreasonable for highly available Tier-1 storage for something like SAP, especially in that era where you couldn't use all flash in most case.

Today, cost structures can be very different. You can land high-iop storage for a fraction of the cost without the overhead of a big SAN. If you need capacity focused storage, that is also much cheaper.

An agency like NASA gets hosed on services, and cloud is no different. AWS is probably a net savings for operational workloads whose characteristics are known. Backup is a no-brainer. But for a high-volume, operationally highly variable thing like a public archive of data, AWS a square peg in a round hole because of the metered access.

what's political, not calling an epidemic that was carried by migrant workers and Frontline soldiers into Fort Funston Kansas thé "Spanish Flu?"
> it's also staggered in such a way that the Chinese manufacturing will likely be caught up by the time the European and North American economies are coming back to life.

It's more difficult than that. Links in the supply chain aren't independent. Supply and demand must balance. Chinese manufacturing is spinning back up just as European and US demand is dropping. This will cause further damage to the companies on the supply side. And as Europe and US spin their economies back up, China may not be able to meet the growing demand in full. It'll take a while before this reaches something resembling an equilibrium.
I wonder if this will be the final nail in the coffin for wet markets and in particular game markets, given this history.

We’ve all seen the time series of diagnosed cases in Italy versus the U.S. in which the latter appears to track closely but with a time delay. Is it relevant that the U.S. population is some 5 to 6 times Italy’s? Is it meaningful to compare populations by cases per capita?
The specific details of anyone's medical condition typically isn't anyone's business, nor do they really want to hear it. "I had trouble sleeping last night" is a perfectly acceptable way to describe the impact of a medical condition without getting TMI with people to whom you are not close.

> This unknown denominator can change mortality rate, and severe case rate by orders of magnitude.

The two best data points we have would be South Korea and the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Both of these groups have high rates of testing and both have had enough time that we can know how the most of the cases played out, and in both cases we see the death rate at about 1%. This doesn't take into account possibly different age group distributions. The cruise ship probably has less children and less 80+ people than on typical distributions.

Additionally both the Diamond Princess and South Korea cases assume ready access to medical treatment. If the medical system is overwhelmed we will see much higher CFR due to critical cases not receiving adequate care.

Ending slavery could be considered "unfair" to a slaveowner who just spent a lot of money purchasing a slave. That doesn't justify slavery.

The state of student loans in the U.S. obviously isn't even remotely as despicable as chattel slavery, but it's still deeply immoral and not far removed from loan sharking + debt slavery. Ignoring the moral aspect, it's just wildly counterproductive and detrimental to society (particularly since the generation who allowed this to happen - the baby boomers - never had to deal with this themselves.

Also applies to software supply chains:

https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/sherman/

> Today’s software is largely assembled rather than written, and most of the assembly comes from open source components. The creation of components and their inclusion into applications creates a “supply chain” just like in conventional manufacturing. While physical supply chains have well established chains-of-custody to establish properties like refrigeration maintenance, authenticity or spoilage avoidance, the software supply chain is very much a wild, wild west, filled with vulnerabilities that can be (and are) inadvertently inserted into applications. As supply chain risk and mitigations are being explored by government and academia, a larger attack surface is being uncovered that needs to be addressed.
> I'm sure that makes users disconnect.

I guess I'm the oposite. For me personally this "adaptive" thing without any user control is more likely to make me go away. For example I've stopped paying for amazon's anime strike after trial period because it kept playing in like 480p without way to enforce better quality.

If it's buffering, fine, I can either try to find out what is wrong with the network or just let it buffer the whole thing.

The current recession (which we are undoubtedly technically in) is mainly due to governments everywhere mandating that the economy go into recession due to a public health emergency. Once that's done, business will almost certainly bounce back. Of course the economy is in a recession when all world governments have essentially mandated that it do so.
> With enough time (10 years is way more than enough), a vaccine will be developed and deployed

Based on what? It’s been more than 10 since SARS and we still don’t have a vaccine. I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about immunization when it is far, far too early to know. Also, the point is that we don’t want to be quarantined for 10 years, we want to build the capacity now.
I’d say your use case isn’t really all that applicable to how React is normally used. Zero interactive elements and doesn’t require JS... that really isn’t typical for a React deployment.

Why only compare to the old stack? When you’re evaluating a brand new solution would should be looking for the best one, not any solution that improves your current situation.

> Social distancing of the entire population also slows the acquisition of immunity with zero and low risk age groups, which drags the whole situation out months longer.

Dragging it out is exactly the point. The total number of active cases should be kept as low as possible in order to stay below our healthcare system's capacity. Look at Italy for what happens when cases exceed capacity. Their death rate is partly so high because they have to let the worst cases die in order to save those that have a better chance at living.

They run the gamut. Lack of a viable risk management program, lack of resiliency planning and testing, poor operational and change management controls, poor visibility and response planning for security events, poor SDLC security, etc. etc. The requirements vary based on our exposure.

It's not stupidity that caused supply chain fragility. People involved understand the benefits of redundancy. It's the market that doesn't. It's fundamentally unable to protect itself against black swan events, because they're (by definition) outside of its optimization horizon. Redundancies and buffers that could protect us from once-in-couple-decades events are considered as "fat", and are cut off by competitive pressure.

The conclusion from this is that, unless there is regulation directly addressing this, nothing will change, because the market forces are what they are.

Yes, if it turns out a poor country lied and imprisoned doctors attempting to disseminate facts, then yes, they ought to be punished internationally..

We shouldn't punish China for simply having the virus. That could happen to anyone. But lying about it on the world stage for months, imprisoning whistleblower doctors, etc is reprehensible behavior.
I wouldn't call it fraud, just confusing.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Added my upvote. Cheers!
We're going to be in a triage situation regardless. Yes, people shouldn't be doing stupid things that increase risk, but is it the cause of the problem, would not doing it fix the problem? No.

Singling out particular groups of people for doing stupid things at one point in time isn't really fair. There are olds who keep going to church as well, they have just as much culpability here.

But it's much more popular to point the news cameras at some kids on spring break than a church packed shoulder to shoulder with boomers. That generation makes a point of shitting on zoomers every chance they get, and if you point it out they cry about ageism as if that's not exactly what they were doing themselves.

It's "avocado toast" playing out all over again.

(in all of these cases, I think the states are rightfully clamping down on what's allowable. My parents spent the last two days whining at me that their reservation at a florida state park got cancelled. So that spring break thing probably won't repeat. And the maximum size for a public gathering is coming down rapidly... states were setting limits like 250 a week or so ago, now that number is 50 and some states are going to 5 or 10. This problem is basically solving itself. But are you being ageist about it by singling out zoomers as being some unique problem here? Yes, absolutely.)
Yes - you should always think about the risk of a false positive when considering a treatment (or, equivalently, the PPV). That risk hasn't vanished at the point of testing.

If you know the risk of a false positive and the benefit and risk of treatment, then you have the option of reducing risk: choosing an option with increased risk is a mistake, but a mistake in judgement, not a mistake due to the test.
There are basic communications principles that pre-date having an Internet. One of them is that emergency traffic let alone health & welfare traffic have precedence over routine traffic on communications systems. There can be voluntary prioritization of traffic to support emergency response now or the full legal power of multiple nation-states can be brought to bear to ensure traffic supporting emergency response gets handled first.

What we have here is a critical vulnerability in that too much is dependent upon one backbone.
