As for foot note 3: I suspect that reasoning for mostly not using TTL inverter chips in eastern designs was limiting number of BOM entries and number of chip designs that have to be manufactured in large volumes. Another thing is that in many designs the author just used random NPN transistor (selected on the basis of availability, so seeing RF power transistors used for almost anything was not that uncommon) and resistor.

Edit: and to me, 134ЛА8 with it's connected inputs seems to be explicitly designed to be usable as either bus driver or invertor replacement. You would not want to use that in hand-optimized random combinatorial logic.

Edit2: on the other hand I would not be too surprised if there was IBM SLT module that implements half of or even whole 134ЛА8 :)
Care to convince me?
> Each cure becomes poison after a threshold.

Right, and I'm saying that threshold is much lower for Tylenol than other NSAIDs, separate of whether it's disadvised for certain demographics. That's fact.
Devil's advocate: Why would a manufacturer consider damaging what is a potential mega cash cow? I read earlier that ventilators generally sell for $40-70,000USD to hospitals (who then go on to charge $20-40k for ventilator based treatment.)

We're much better off right now with the government seizing the means of production and figuring out how to make as many as possible.
Yeah, I have news for you ... I'm slapping my CPAP on any family member in a medical crisis where their O2 is bottoming out (I have o2 monitor too .. cheap from amazon) that potentially may be coming. If they are unable to breathe and we can't get them medical help/ventilated, it is no brainer.

Here is my experience: CPAP (actual APAP) for a several years now. Godsend for me. Don't even nap without it. In addition to the sleep apnea and impact it had on my life and long term health, there has been one other remarkable benefit. I have had no lung issues (bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia or even just wheezing), since not long after started using. For decades prior (I'm 50 now), I had yearly bouts with bronchitis due to my mild asthma combined with allergy seasons, etc. I also had couple which progressed to pneumonia. I have had NONE of that since starting and we are on the 4th year now. The APAP helps expand lungs and breath deeply, in addition to the intended benefit of keeping my airway from collapsing / sleep apnea.

CPAPS aren't dangerous. I've already thought about scenario where I'd use it on loved one over past couple weeks (prior to reading this article). Damn believe I will if have to. Alternative is potentially death.

Yes, ventilator (to me implying being intubated) is of course totally different.
1st, SARS-CoV2 ELISA already exists.
2nd, the CDC did compare RT-PCR vs ELISA SARS-CoV back in 2005, and ELISA performed really poorly, and that was for acute cases. So, that is why we should stick with RT.

containerd is the supervisor for the docker/moby container runtime environment. It is not used for crio (for k8s), podman (for non-k8s), or any other OCI container management engine (obviously excluding docker/moby).

You obviously know this, but for everyone else playing at home, "Docker" is made up of three distinct projects: moby (CLI and API), containerd (supervisor daemon), and runc (container runtime core).

Of the three projects mentioned above, only runc is used by nearly all major "container engines" as people call them.

And as pointed out by another poster, you do have the rest in the Bottlerocket tree.

> How is someone persuading your provider to transfer your number to another provider, a hack?

It sounds like you are not aware of the existence of the term “Social Engineering”.

I invite you to read this Wiki page [1] which explains what the hack is about.

Social Engineering is, in fact, one of the most common techniques used by hack people, for example, by tricking someone into clicking a malicious link in a phishing email. There is also “Smishing” which is the same —tricking someone into reading and clicking a malicious text or link— but via SMS. In this specific case the hackers are using a technique commonly known as “Vishing” or “Voice Phishing” [2] which is a criminal practice of using social engineering over a telephone system to gain access to private personal and financial information from the public for the purpose of financial reward (verbatim from WikiPedia).

Have you heard stories of hacks where an employee plugged an infected USB, CD-ROM or floppy-disk into a computer connected to a secure facility? Well, this is another social engineering technique commonly known as “Baiting” used by hackers to attack systems that otherwise would be impossible to access from outside [3]. Stuxnet [4] is one of the most famous examples of a social engineering attack, among several other techniques.

As you can see, social engineering is the very beginning of many hacks.

>How bad is it for all these "old people" if they are dead?
It would be really nice to hear compassion instead of worry about money.

Economic factors should absolutely be taken into account. Money pays for life saving medication and treatments. Tax money from the economy pays for social medicine.

For example, 280,000 EXTRA people died from cancer between 2008-2010 in the OCED. When you consider heart disease, other indications, and the rest of the world, you are talking millions of lives.

Far more people could easily die from the economic fallout in the US than the virus.

It's not only about the old people. There are enough younger people that need medical care, even if they don't die from it.

And then it's also about the rest of the population that needs medical attention for a different reason.

Imagine the medicial facilities being flooded by COVID-19 patients. There are enough severe cases already in many countries that non essential operations are suspended.

Good luck getting adequate treatment for your broken leg.
Thanks for writing this up - you did a great job. I came across it on a DDG search when I was exploring WireGuard and as a result, I found it easy to setup!
Yes, absolutely. But that's why we should use case fatality rate and not just divide #deaths/#infected
Anything where there isn't something else limiting supply (prestige, luxury, brand, IP rights, network effects, zoning) is going to have slim profit margins. That includes most goods and commodities. That means that "Big Revenue and Slim Profit Margin" are going to be the companies providing commodity services to most people. If you want small revenue large profit margin air travel, you're looking at charter and luxury, for instance.
> I've heard an epidemiologist say that if a vaccine becomes available in 18 months it'll be a record.

> The thing is people would still shop around for the lowest price. The vendor with the lowest price gets the business.

But we know economically this isn't necessarily true. Some industries are more monopolized than others. Some people aren't in areas where they have good alternative shopping choices. Goods like toilet paper have many different price points and it hasn't been a race to the bottom among the brands to become the cheapest toilet paper. "You get what you pay for" is still a common rule of thumb. Veblen goods would also rise in price.

It's my opinion that UBI would give businesses an opportunity to raise prices in certain sectors, but I concede it wouldn't be universal inflation across the board.

The post-meeting press also asked him if that meant the feds wouldn't help, and he explicitly said no, that many states already have their own contracts and connections to various suppliers, and if they used those they would be better off buying direct rather than the federal government acting as a middle man for the same outcome.

> well overdue fo a crash.

Not sure why a crash has to be expected or should be the norm.
Well typical financial advice is to keep at least 3 months of expenses in a savings account or other very liquid account as an emergency fund. So plenty of people likely follow that advice.

The US govt just said that strict social distancing measures could last till August, plus there could be a recession coming. It's entirely possible that many people could be laid off and may run low on emergency funds if this goes on long enough. And many Americans could be facing huge medical bills to pay for treatment.

I'd say it's extremely likely that some unfortunate people are going to need to do hardship withdrawals from their 401ks to avoid eviction. Not everyone is in such a secure position that they could be cut off from their assets all in the name of calming the financial news.
Depends on the health. And the city you are looking at. The air in the area of Italy hit hard has really bad levels as far back as Jan. I didn't look father, but that satellite showed Italy bring terrible. Was that just a new thing?

It's easy to structure taxes such that the UBI is extremely meaningful—it helps the people at the low end a lot, the people in the middle a little, and the people at the upper end end up paying more. But guess what? They weren't using that money anyway (except to make more money for themselves).

America is not spending trillions on their military, and even then it's still barely affordable. To give every American 12k per year would cost about 10 times the military budget (7 trillion versus 780 billion).

And that's before we even discuss shenanigans like debt jubilees and free healthcare.

Even dramatic cuts to the us military barely make a dent to these kinds of spending proposals.
A lot of methane is coming from deep sea hydrothermal sources. You cannot stop that. But methane itself is unstable in the atmosphere and only accounts for less than 2 parts per million.

If the climate were so sensitive to CO2 levels, where we've seen it go from 250 to over 400 ppm...we would see much more dramatic warming than we have. It was not that much cooler 100 years ago. So far, we have yet to have a year significantly warmer than 1998. It's been 22 years and the CO2 has been rising all that time. In spite of billions of people coming out of poverty. Minimal difference in maximum temps. Antarctica had record sea ice extent in 2014. Antarctica has been trending positive for sea ice over the past 30 years: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/sea_ice_so...

There's never ever been a geologic extinction event associated with high levels of CO2. In fact quite the opposite: the abundant and biodiverse periods in Earth's history are associated with high CO2.

Plants literally suffocate at 150ppm. We are near historical lows for the planet Earth.
I think some people may just be shell-shocked and reacting too slowly.

My employer refused to allow working from home for the most part last week, up until Thursday.

After several days of union negotiations, they floated the idea on Friday of letting people request up to four days per two week pay period to be remote. That was at about 3 PM.

Just after 4 PM, an email went out saying that people were allowed to work remotely 5 days a week for the next month or two. So some of us got kind of upset that they were making it an individual decision. Somebody may have to come in, but most people shouldn't and some people can't. It needs to be collectively managed, in my opinion.

So then, today, around COB, there's another email saying everybody is required to work remotely for the next couple weeks unless there is some specific exception.

So it's just dramatically evolving day by day.
I know very little about “mu” specifically, but the title is a highly under-appreciated point. I often notice a tendency to abstract complexity in clean looking interfaces. While that’s convenient for simple projects with pre-envisioned use cases, when using the tool in some novel way often results in bugs due to the abstraction being leaky. For that reason, I personally prefer designs that are transparent, rather than one that attempts to paint a pretty exterior on top of internal complexity. (Obviously correct, rather than not obviously wrong)

This leads to a subtle but crucial distinction between software “automating processes” without needing any humans in the loop -vs- amplifying the (expert) humans in the loop to do more stuff.

Another subtle (but arguably more important) effect comes from McLuhan’s insight that the medium strongly influences the message. If the medium/tool is not transparent, then so are the biases imposed on the tool user. While that doesn’t lead to obvious bugs, it leads to strutting blinders on human thought processes and creativity.

BTW, one last point, in case it isn’t obvious: this goal of transparency in software can be seen as underpinning the free software movement.
I setup a server and got three engineers connected in an afternoon. I've never been that successful with an IPSec deployment. The hardest part for me was coming up with a way to link IPs, keys and users. I wrote a small Python script and store the peer info in a small DB. Not super difficult and the engineers using it took less than 10m each. Mac, Linux and windows. Pretty impressed.

What's missing for me:
* a good "connected" indicator
* session tracking/logging

Pretty sure I can solve the tracking problem with iptablea or some not very clever network monitoring software.

I appreciate that we're all doing our own thinking and napkin math here, but the people who crunch these numbers all the time are talking about worst-case estimations much, much lower than that.

Here are a bunch of solid papers on the topic: http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/infectious-disease-topics/covid-19...
It is not the case that "many experts are citing numbers in the high hundreds of thousands to a million people". From the blog post you've cited (and which I agree is thoughtful, and which I had already read when another friend sent it my way a couple hours ago): "There are no experts. There are only good people trying their best to sift through the raft of information coming in extremely fast."

But the numbers you've cited do not represent a mainstream view in the papers currently being reviewed and published as far as I can tell.

Give this a read, "2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV): estimating the case fatality rate—a word of caution": https://smw.ch/article/doi/smw.2020.20203

Here's a couple of mantras to write clean code:

- Code is written once and read at least once, have empathy for the readers...

- If code cannot be understood, it cannot be changed safely...

- Less dependencies on other code, makes code easy to understand...

- The smaller the context is, the easier it is to understand the code...
