Our current society is way to focused on short-term gains, mostly because of profit imperatives. Yet it is becoming increasingly obvious that being short-sighted will eventually doom us all.

Just to add to gpresot's comment, every large brand has this issue. McDonald's products need to taste exactly the same around the world and most of their brand's value lies in the ability to create a stable, unchanging product that is still attractive to their market segments.

Companies in Germany, like Switzerland, Netherlands, US etc import green coffee from around the world, roast it, mix various types and origins and qualities to produce commercial recipes that have a stable taste, then grind it and pack it in air sealed packs (as soon as possible after roasting). Being an import hub for green coffee allows the mixing, essential for commercial coffee. Coffee producing countries usually put duties on imports of green coffee to protect local production. They could import roasted coffee to then mix with local production, but that would have to be air/sealed in bulk, which i imagine is quite costly. And I suspect the market for single origin coffee is still too small to allow economically viable operations. Once roasted and sealed from the effect of air oxidation and humidity, coffee can last quite a while, certainly enough to be exported throughout the world.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM with Netflix reducing video quality. What I do have a problem with is Netflix KEEPING THE PRICE THE SAME.

If my local gym chain (Gyms4You) can freeze memberships for EVERYONE and not price it in than Netflix can atleast do the same regarding the "premium" plan.

I understand that this is an unprecented crisis, but that doesn't mean we don't have to follow the rules which we are able to follow without risking our health and well being.
Introduction to AntV
Ok, so not just me that misread the title then... XD

Good to know I'm with like-minded people here!
My calculation (1000 tests per day) left space for 12 controls per batch - is that not sufficient under the circumstances? Alternatively, at 500 tests per day (again, this is _per_ low-end machine!) you could run each sample twice in addition to the 12 controls. (And I would _never_ dismiss controls as an inefficiency, even the most trivial exploratory experiment is highly suspect without one.)

The point I was trying to make with those numbers was just how readily accessible the necessary instrumentation is.

Regarding sample preparation, I'm well aware that it's a time sink (I've done DNA and RNA extractions before). But it's fairly trivial and can be done fully in parallel by multiple people; the primary bottleneck is likely to be available bench space. (Unless the sample prep has been fully mechanized, in which case I'm really not seeing the issue.)

My point being that multiple, parallel sample prep pipelines can feed a single qPCR machine to keep it running just about 24/7.

Regarding barcodes, I didn't mean it had to be fully automated. Just drop the excess data entry and switch to a serial number scheme with built-in redundancy (or at least error detection). Many academic labs employ such schemes by hand.

Given just how dire the circumstances are, I'm afraid I'd have to strenuously disagree that cutting corners on QA/QC (as compared to standard medical diagnostic testing) would be unacceptable. None of what I described is at all out of place for handling research samples, and in my experience those are quite reliable.

I used the combat medic analogy in my previous post for a reason - a significant number of people are likely to end up dead due to our having blindly stuck to the rules. A bit of pragmatism could have saved them, and I view that as a tragic systemic failure on the part of the US government.

I have worked with the medical industry, the amount of formal validation and verification that goes through on software is insane compared to what we have in the "move fast and break things" world.

Even if it is "temporary" and "desperate" I would stay away from this mentality as much as humanly possible.
Beside what people write about ICUs, this lets time to buy and build other things like masks, build up the infrastructure, get organized help from the army etc etc.

From what I'm reading in the article, they're cutting the bitrates and not the resolution. This would mean they're still serving you FullHD/4K but with worse quality.

From a quick search, I can't find any guarantees on what bitrates Netflix will serve you. In fact, they already use variable bitrates that can differ per episode of a series.

I don't see your legal retribution having much chance of succeeding.

You're "merely" ignoring the confounding reason why Republican-leaning areas have fewer cases, as pointed out by the parent post.

From your own reference:

So no surprise that Republicans think their guy's doing good, and Democrats think he's doing badly.

It's surprising (and a little disappointing really) that 538 didn't seem to consider where independents split on it.

Wash Your Hands, correctly – AI to teach and control
Hi,

out of curiosity we re-trained our AI from retail to health-care - teach and control to ‚Wash Your Hands, correctly!‘:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgVV72gKa4Y

We are a two person team in the process of incorporating and launching our company 'Riitail'. We developed a solution to capture anonymous human-interactions in retail stores (brick&mortar) and push these interactions as events to Google Analytics.

Last week we saw one of these advisory posters on how to wash hands correctly and went into a personal hackathon to transform our existing tech in a 'teach and control' solution for washing hands. I think this might be a great product and it should be installed above every sink (esp. in public buildings and hospitals) to fight the Covid threat.

We are using Google-Coral Edge-TPUs, so devices can be small and quite cheap. We already ordered some 5" displays and other cases to put everything together in one unit. At the moment, the AI is quite simple - last layer retraining of a basic TF-Lite identification model.

Any feedback or contacts to persons interested are highly appreciated.

Best regards
Christiane & Florian

One thing that did occur to me: if it is mostly the elderly and vulnerable who get affected, why don't we concentrate the isolation efforts on them, and allow the rest of the society to live semi-normally.

It's not that I can't be asked to sit at home. Rather:

- There is a huge economical toll from locking up everyone. And it's economies that pay for hospitals

- While everything else is shut, what diseases, damage etc. is done elsewhere? How many people will die because their lesser-priority illnesses get forgotten?

- Would we not be better placed, as societies, to help vulnerable people, if we remained productive?

- Do we get best of both worlds of "herd immunity" and protecting those likely to die?

As a healthy young person I'm fully committed to protecting the vulnerable, I just wonder if the above is better than an all-out lockdown.

Why Cutting Innovation Will Kill You After the Crisis
You are technically correct, the worst sort of correct.

Until very recently, Trump and his administration and his state press (Fox) have promoted the idea that COVID-19 was "very mild. They’ll get better very rapidly. They don’t even see a doctor. They don’t even call a doctor. You never hear about those people" (March 4)

His advice was "If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better"

That's just two examples from one interview.

The man has been lying and obfuscating and gaslighting about this since he was first asked about it.
"Free market advocates instead believe the poor should get essential goods last, if there's still enough profit in it."

That fits your narrative, no?

Free market ultimately amounts to how much can we push people's capacity to suffer in order to profit the Capitalists, can we raise the price of water, can we raise the price of food, can we work people 20 hours a day, will they still work if they can't afford clothes, can we psychological convince them not to riot and so remove even more of their humanity; will the poor still work if life-expectancy is down to 60 years, howabout 59?
Two or four euros per month. Call the army! I would start a class action suite. /s

This stupid selfish attitude is not helping. Netflix will probably issue a statement that they will refund all those affected. And if you don't like it, downgrade! You probably have plenty of time if this is an issue for you.

Second of February. Why would you post this now???
One way you could use flash cards to teach a subject is by defining each concept on its own flash card. You start from low-level concepts or primitives as they're called in programming languages and use those to define more high level concepts.

It's exactly how you create a program. You define functions using other, more lower-level, functions. The only problem with this approach is that it's tedious to create the cards. It might also be tedious for someone going through the cards.

What do you think?
If I recall, China had about 500 cases confirmed positive, when they shut down Wuhan on January 23. And by that point, the confirmed infection count ballooned up to 80,000; even after they aggressively mandated their national lockdown. And this was during the early days, when nobody knew anything about the virus. And early test kits gave a lot of false negatives.

With California at 1060, then I can only imagine where the final number will land. And New York has 5712 infected, and yet, they still haven’t shut down the state.

====

Now, the following is likely incorrect, but this may give an general idea of the magnitude. But doing a basic extrapolation, China had a 160x multiplier, from the initial lockdown point, to get to 80,000 infected.

If we use that, then at this point, California might register about 169,000 infected. And New York, if they lock down now, might register 914,000 infected.

Sobering numbers indeed..

But these numbers are highly dependent on population density, mass transportation patterns, and social congregation scenarios. Wuhan has high speed trains, but California has Southwest planes. Car travel and ride sharing usage might be similar. So it’s unlikely the numbers are similar to compute.

At some point, the medical system will fail, and everyone will just give up, and we are now left to our own fate.

You are free to cancel your Netflix subscription or take less quality plan, Netflix is not doing this because of their backend, They are doing it because ISP requested them. Alternative would be something like ISPs throttling Netflix themselves.
You are conflating unrelated things.

It's really hard to do that, I got called on making a vaguely worded and misleading statement here on HN just the other day. But then again it's not my job to make such statements.

This is completely the wrong attitude.

Different circumstances with different levels of risk, require the ability to adapt.

Nobody is suggesting 'sharing ventilators' would be normal practice because in normal circumstances we want to make sure that equipment is 99.999% reliable.

But as you imply, this requires extensive testing and regulation. Within these regulations are also significant safety margins that can be exploited if conditions change. If we can multiply the usage and maintain 99.99% reliability, then this is probably a risk worth taking.

Also - if you've worked in the medical industry, you know how vastly overpriced and bureaucratized everything is.

The situation of 'not enough ventilators' is literally happening right in front of us, and it is causing death.

The risk tolerance for utilizing the gear in such a manner is such that it may very well be possible to create better outcomes.

The individuals involved are medical practitioners who are well versed in the equipment, procedures, and inherent moral dilemmas, they're not fools.

This is exactly the kind of procedural innovation required in times of crises - hopefully, a few doctors and especially the Engineers from the manufacturer can be involved. The people who built the gear may be able to give a much better articulation of the actual risks involved, and they may even be able to mitigate, for example 'the risk will be power consumption' or 'the risk will be this specific valve which could wear and break' thereby implying the 'new operational procedure' would involve daily checking of said valve etc..

The world is facing crises we absolutely must be adaptive while trying to quantify risk and outcomes.

The bigger difference is that California’s cases were more broadly diffused across the population than China’s at the same numbers (in part because it didn't originate from a single point in CA but had multiple points of introduction, and in part probably because of differences in lifestyle and social interaction patterns.)
