> I do believe these masks are also made in the US, but this situation highlights exactly why a country having its own major manufacturing base is not just an economic need but rather also a national security need.

I might take your argument for the security need. But how does this highlight anything about an economic need? (Or am I misreading that?)

> In economic terms, under certain definitions and assumptions that are typical under modern economics, a trade war such as the current US-China trade war result in welfare losses. I believe, however, that when national security is taken into account (ie having the ability for the country to rapidly respond to productive capacity needs in a time of crisis), the trade war along with serious investment in expanding industrial capacity is likely net good.

Perhaps an optimally waged trade war might be? Not sure. But in practice, politicians use these highly theoretical arguments that might apply in very special cases to defend very crude behaviour.

Eg if you want to justify a trade war on national security grounds, your goal would presumably to weaken the other party?

One of the demands in Trump's trade war was that China open its markets more to American goods and services, and lower tariffs and restrictions on foreign commerce in general. That would only strengthen the Chinese economy, for all the orthodox reasons.
no, it means type O can do riskier jobs.
Not just leaner. I predict (fear) extended social isolation will change the nature of work for many employers. Many jobs will be eliminated outright.

Analogy: There was a bank employee who gamed some account resolution process to steal small amounts of money every transaction. But it required him to manually restart the transaction(s), say every three days. Never taking time off, everyone admired his work ethic. Once he finally took a vacation, the whole house of cards fell down and he got busted.

Riffing on David Graeber's bullshit jobs thesis, I think this isolation, more than prior economic recessions, will highlight a lot "make work" that really didn't need doing. All that silly data processing which had no value add. So when the economy restarts, maybe those positions and tasks won't even be missed, and will be eliminated.

In theory you have bankruptcy, limited liability and the corporate person as devices meant to insulate human beings from the harsh natural environment that makes businesses work. Unfortunately, businesses can't stand being treated harshly (and politicians don't have the guts to do it) so we have bailouts, protective regulation, and federal troubled asset purchases, kind of defeating the point.

> This does not mean Wikipedia is becoming an SPA. One of the reasons they picked Vue is because Vue can be used to progressively enhance a statically rendered page (just like jQuery, but with a declarative development paradigm), and it allows you to do so without a build step (while keeping the going-full-build-step option open).

I was not aware of this. That's actually really cool. I've dabbled a little in Vue and Angular but haven't taken the plunge and deployed an actual App because I prefer to have sites that degrade gracefully.
> Do people really believe the virus won't be there afterwards?

Of course people believe the virus will be there afterwards, it will almost certainly never go away. Look at how much effort the world put into eradicating Smallpox.

That effort will not be repeated given the current conservative politics in the US, Britain, and Russia. Modern conservatism is financially backed by the kind of capitalists that have enormous amounts of cash to spend on preventing regulation of their industries (like oil, health insurance, for-profit universities, churches).

That has led to a massive anti-science, anti-social safety net, anti-vaxx backlash. It will be impossible to get the entire world to coöperate and get eradicate it as we did with Smallpox.

But.

By buying time and saving lives now, we give ourselves a chance to develop vaccines. In functioning developed countries, we will build herd immunity through vaccination.

Meanwhile, countries like the USA will have regular COVID-19 outbreaks in pockets where somebody decides not to vaccinate their children, just as we do with Measles and other entirely preventable diseases.

Sorry to be so gloom-and-doom, but connect the dots between "YOLO, I'm young, I'm healthy, I'm off to Spring Break in Florida and Hawaii during a pandemic, sucks to be anybody who gets it from me," and, "Vaccines? We don't need any of that elitist Liberal malarky."

p.s. You got a lot of downvotes. Nobody can explain exactly why any comment gets downvoted, but my suggestion is that your questions are good, but leading off with a statement that you are struggling to see how this will help may be perceived as jumping to a conclusion without paying attention to any of the knowledge about this that is readily available, and then expressing absolute confidence in your evaluation of what will happen.

I cannot read your mind, but others may perceive it as being a bit Dunning-Kruger, like you have jumped to a conclusion without doing even cursory research, and assuming that you know enough that you don't need to listen to any of the many experts who are saying the opposite of what you are saying.

Again, I don't purport to tell you what you're thinking, just sharing a (quite possibly wrong) conjecture for why your otherwise good question gets a negative response.

This is a messaging failure.

We cannot just lockdown and “none of this is necessary.” There is no scenario short of locking down for 10 years that would be able to manage with the number of critical beds we actually have. We need to dramatically upscale capacity (which means training new doctors) and quarantine.

It cannot be an either/or.

Until we lock down, I suspect that it is far too late to trace contacts. I know of at least 3 different secondhand exposures to Covid, just for me.
I've been thinking about it two ways:

1. We could forecast a projected cost to the global markets, vs. the number of lives saved, and put a price to each life saved. Every healthcare conversation has avoided doing this, so maybe this pandemic will force the conversation.

2. We shelter in place, take the hit to the market, and use the opportunity to learn a lot about our impact on the environment, ourselves, and how we can possibly change as societies to make things better for everybody.
That sounds fun, but a very bad use of time.

Linus' monolithic kernel won out over Tanenbaum's microkernel, because it just worked. In the 1990s that was important.

Now we want it to work and not get totally pwned because we opened a sketchy email attachment before we had our coffee. Tanenbaum was right [1], but for the wrong reasons, and way too early.

Whatever value x you assign to 1/0, it had better be true that multiplying it by 0 gives 1; and the properties of a field give that 0x = (0 + 0)x = 0x + 0x, so that 0x = 0. You thus would have to give up either distributivity or additive inverses, which are pretty dear to me!

If, on the other hand, you regard y = 0/0 as a "multi-valued variable" standing for any element of the field, then it behaves perfectly fine, since 0y = 0. The only problem is that it's infectious, so that just about any arithmetic computation involving it, like y + 1 or 2y, also suddenly has to stand for every element of your field. (If you work over a ring, then y + 1 stands for any element and 2y only stands for elements of the ideal generated by 2, etc.) Computations like 0y and y + (-y) both still yield 0.

This is not very useful—at least I can't see anything useful to come of it—but, aside from the infectious multi-valuedness, I don't see what problems result.

This is the case. Germany tests 10k-12k people a day - everyone with a symptom. Other big countries only test 1-2k per day, i.e. only severe hospitalised cases. So the undetected/unregistered case count is an order of magnitude higher in FR/ES/UK.

Ask HN: Are we overreacting to coronavirus?
Source [1]. Note that I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories so I will focus only on non-political information. I hope someone one the field can fact-check the information presented and correct any interpretation mistakes on my part:

- The test that is currently used was not extensively validated and quickly accepted by WHO due to urgency. This raises the following questions:
- Is it possible that we are seeing false positives, where people with flu-like symptoms are wrongly identified as having SARS-CoV-2?
- Are we certain that the test is implemented correctly everywhere?

- To find infection/death rates, are we doing tests on the whole population, or only on certain groups, such as people that went to hospitals feeling cold symptoms?

- Is it possible that infection rates are higher than normal because more people are going to hospitals (due to widespread panic), and thus get infected more easily than if they had treated common cold symptoms at home?

- Are the flu deaths increasing because of the coronavirus? Consider this:
- In Germany, between 20000 and 30000 people die yearly from flu, mostly on winter.
- Assume that in previous years we tested all seriously ill patients for coronavirus (which didn't happen). In this scenario, where we tested everyone, it is expected that between 2000 and 3000 of the dead would also have a coronavirus (which doesn't imply they died because of coronavirus).
- Due to panic, more people are filling the hospital beds, possibly leaving the really sick without proper care, thus increasing deaths.
- In Germany, there are currently 33 deaths attributed to coronavirus, nowhere near the expected number. Note that Germany has considerably more hospital beds than Italy [2].

Yes, so on the short term that’s a benefit. But when it means the us/world doesn’t invest in a crucial piece of our infrastructure that would take many years to establish then it’s a net loss.

Thanks for this, I'm sure many would give it a try and will like the idea of having the possiblity and easier selection when working with their favorite IDE or editor when working with Qt.

Having said that, I will never leave QtCreator for VS Code, not that is not good, but QtCreator feels much solid and integrated than any other IDE when working with Qt/C++ or many C/C++ code bases out there, in matter of fact, QtCreator is my go to when doing c/c++.

Hehe, I remember impressing my Web Development Professor 11-12 years ago by using CSS designs based off this website.

I am still impressed by the beauty of some of the designs.
I also started coding when CSS Zen Garden was the best thing ever but sorry, CSS in JS is better.

With classes and a separate stylesheets, there are no statically analyzable connections between them. You typo a class name? Too bad. You're no longer using that class anywhere? No compiler will tell you it's dead code. You want to increase the padding in this one place? There's no way to be confident what else it will affect.

And all the "benefits" that stylesheets tout are also offered by components. No one is adding <font> tags on all on all of their headings. With components, you just set the font once on the heading component.

'Run Toward the Crisis': Some Employers Balk at Remote Work
“We'd take the first non-idiotic person who applies.”

I think it would still help for a company like that to display stats. For example, if you’re a qualified candidate who is applying early, you’d see an abnormally high probability of callback. If you’re an unqualified candidate, you’d see a very low probability of callback. I mentioned that ML can help calculate these probabilities. In addition, I think it might help for companies to secretly encode “hard” job requirements. Most requirements are in fact soft, but the applicant never knows which is which. If they don’t meet a hard requirement, they should see a 0% probability of callback. Full stop. ML would do a good job of assigning importance weights to each of the requirements which aren’t encoded as “hard,” but it would start from weights provided by the employer when there isn’t enough data.

Interesting and amusing read. Of course Ron Gilbert is a well-known authority on Adventure Games, but the original Old Man Murray article is even better (and funnier). In case anyone hasn't read it yet: "Who Killed Adventure Games?" http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/77.html

(As an amusing aside, point-and-click adventure games were considered to be for "clever" gamers in 90s Spain and Latin America; gamers who mocked action games as simplistic. But there was nothing "clever" or "cerebral" about most adventure games; they were mostly arbitrary and nonsensical. And fun, of course!)

Before I read the Old Man Murray article I was already frustrated with (some) adventure games, even though I absolutely loved the Space Quest series (the original, 16 colors and text input!), and of course Interactive Fiction (aka text adventures). IF games in particular had something of a rennaissance some years (or decades?) ago and they evolved into something way more complex and with better UX than what we remember from the old Zork days.
