Somehow the rest of the world doesn't have this problem. Let's start by not keeping live animals in food markets. Introduce food processing standards. Go from there.

Yes they are impoverished, but this is grinding humanity to a halt. It is probably the most impactful money we can spend.
> If the landlord defaults, the banks (presumably) will repossess the property

As others have pointed out, this is not what any of us are saying. Those debts are paused too.

The loans DO NOT work, because most of these businesses are barely profitable at all. Now they have to recover to their previous levels of income AND pay back a loan? They can't. It's a ridiculous expectation.

Not sure about Andreessen but Blue Ocean Shift and Blue Ocean Strategy are solid compliments to Zero to One. The gist being, stop trying to compete in shark-infested (blood) red water and look for blue oceans.
Is there any idea on when exactly this might happen? Here in the UK we’re hearing about this a lot in the daily updates, but there is never a concrete time. It could be a gamechanger.
I think most of the ads are for physical gold, for which you can charge any markup you want. It's more like pitching over-the-counter traded penny stocks.
Most people in this thread are too dumb to realize that these "wet markets" exist all around the world including in North America.

American Swing Flu killed tens of thousands of people due to poor agricultural practices.

If anything, we should talk about banning the farming of animals altogether.
You said "undomesticated people" to be exact.

Remarkable that you place the blame on people rather than the many governments that acted far too slowly.
The vast majority of meat comes from factory farms, so for factory-farmed meat to go away, total meat consumption has to drop dramatically.
Adding it now! Thanks for the flag.
> Under starvation conditions, does it really matter what vessel of bodily flesh was delivering your next caloric intake? Why would you squander any body part?

Why would you ever waste part of something you killed for sustenance? Waste is waste.

> There’s an old Cantonese saying that goes, ‘anything that walks, swims, crawls, or flies with its back to heaven is edible’.

I mean, it is, and frequently, it's delicious. Meat is meat, ya know, I care more about how the animal lived up until it ended up on my plate, not what animal specifically (so long as it's not endangered).

> The myth that freshly killed animals taste superior is very pervasive, particularly among the older generation. ‘Freshly killed hens are much better than frozen meat in supermarkets, if you want to make perfect chicken soup,’ a 60-year-old woman named Ran told Bloomberg while shopping at a Chinese wet market. ‘The flavor is richer.’

It probably is.
Middleman and a fantastic designer + writer!

We've gotten so many comments about the docs, I wish we could open source something but it's tightly coupled to other things that aren't useful to anyone else.
the issue isn't seafood (living or dead) its live mammals and birds. Tsujiki doesn't sell any mammals/birds and the vast majority of what is sold there is long dead, so its fine. The issue is when you have lots of bats/pigs/birds/etc in close proximity.

Let's think about how these viruses occur.

They jump from one species of animal (dead or alive) to humans.

How can we pragmatically reduce the risk?

1. Ban markets where two different species are kept close to each other.

2. Identify species that are high risk. Ban eating them if they are not essential (other than domesticated animals).

3. For domesticated animals, have tough safety regulations.

4. For villages/cities near wild populations of high risk exotic animals (bats), have a system of monitoring.

5. Provide new jobs for people that are affected by the above restrictions so we don't drive them underground away from regulations.
I live and breathe React.js :)
We should refrain from giving way to blatant racism, like for example calling on purpose this virus the "Chinese virus".

There is no evidence at all that 'wet markets' are the source of this.

If there is an issue it is the hunting of wild animal for food and that is not specific to China, see Ebola, etc.
The patient zero allegedly had no link to the seafood market at Wuhan, but let's ban them anyways?

This is awesome! What inspired you to do this?
Yes it's like the "cancel all debts" idea. Great idea, but emm.. by the way you do realise that "money in your bank account" is technically a debt that the bank owes you, so that gets cancelled too!

Ah "cancel all debts to people not banks". Great idea, but emm. OK so the bank now doesn't have the assets on it's books, goes bankrupt can't pay you that money in your savings account.

"cancel all debts to people not banks, and let the government bail out those banks". Great Idea, but.... something something hyperinflation.

etc.
Currently running that exact setup, it’s sweet
American Swine Flu

Initially called an "outbreak", widespread H1N1 infection was first recognized in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, with evidence that the virus had been present for months before it was officially called an "epidemic"

For the love of god, this is never how GraphQL was intended to be used. The official graphql website is very clear:

https://graphql.org/learn/authorization/

> Delegate authorization logic to the business logic layer

If you take security or performance debugging seriously, you should never expose database models through APIs directly in a production app.

To illustrate, say you have an Employee model:

query {
employee(userId=uuid) {
name
salary
}
}

Say you add some hacks on top of this to only allow users to query their own employee data, believing this provides adequate security.

The next day, someone creates a Manager object, a relation from employee to Manager, and Manager to employee.

Now, without having consider security for a second, you've granted all employees the ability to query each other:

query {
employee(userId=uuid) {
name
salary
manager {
employees {
name
salary
}
}
}
}

To say that these problems occur in the wild frequently is an understatement. Since these graphql frameworks also expose introspection capabilities, discovering these exploits can be automated using crawlers. If you write a bug like this, and you will, people will find it.

Please, please stop encouraging people to directly expose their databases through an API.
How do we know the wet market is responsible?
I am in the same fate. My company has teams in Melbourne and San Diego. The whole team in Melbourne office get laid off just 2 weeks ago.

I am working in Australia but with working visa. So it is urgent for me to find a work within 60 days. Getting a job will be harder this time due to the fact that not all the companies I applied can sponsor visa for applicants.

But I am still keep my faith. There will be jobs available and even in the worst case, I could take a time off to spend more time with my family.
I'm terrified that this outbreak is giving us a taste of the ecofascism that we're in for with the climate crisis, because now authors like this one can just outright say the quiet part loud.
They have been telling their own people source of the virus is the US:

No. The web page says he expects it to be ready in a few months.
Honestly, I think GP's post is an example of the danger of amateur punditry.

On the other, I think Tomas Pueyo's medium blog is really important and correct imo as another amateur pundit. The thing about it is, even with people saying useful, what you really need is the CDC and other authorities being with it enough that they command the most credibility and with them failing to achieve that, even good punditry can only do so much.
Right now targeting 48 angles/slices/images per hologram. Want to give a smooth "look around" feel.

Limited by the hardware/cost choices that get us good quality vs. reasonable cost.

Size of the holograms initially based on the hologram film that we already produce, which currently is 2"x3", 4"x5", and most recently 6"x8".
that isn't a wet market. apparently just regular food markets are considered wet markets by people that don't know what a wet market is.

those fish are DEAD.

one staple of a wet market is LIVE ANIMALS.
> Further it brings into question the items that are good or bad. Is "Racoon Dog" ok or not? Can they sell "Bats"?

As far as I understand things (which is only from reading articles and watching YouTube videos of people visiting these markets), most of the animals like bats, civets, pangolins, etc. that are implicated in zoonotic diseases are delicacies rather than staples. If they were banned, nobody would starve.
> The feeling of wetness is something that you get used to once you realize that your butt clean.

I'm not talking about wetness. I'm talking about feces. As in sitting there getting blasted with a sprayer for well over a minute trying to hit all the angles and then seeing brown on the paper being used to dry up. Just spraying water does not work on its own. If you wipe normally first, then a bidet afterward will probably get you cleaner. But if you don't wipe first then there's no guarantee that it will do better on its own than wiping would have.
Reducing processed carbs is a good idea. Complex whole carbs are fine and the foundation of the diets of the healthiest populations in the world.
> Can you walk me through how a web app would implement that feature?

Same way you open a URL in the App Store? Not hard to let VSCode manage repo URL => workspace path mappings.

> Also many desktop apps also support tabs

Read again: "10-15 open from a few different repos that stay mixed in with other pages for context". Can't do that. You need a pretty huge value proposition for me to be willing to drop contextual tabbing to switch to your native app.

> I'm not really following this paragraph, e.g. "showing alerts that when clicked"

That's on you man, you brought up notifications. You also clearly understood when you replied on-point, no need for dramatically hand-waving an entire paragraph as incomprehensible.

> In my experience, the number of developers that use a GUI git client is vanishingly small

This tells me that GitHub.com is doing the everything-except-staging-commits job just fine for most people. AFAIK you add little value extending GH's analysis to live checkouts, and to gain what little there is, you'd have to bring some of that analysis online, compiled into the app, instead of cloud job queues. Pretty obvious why they wouldn't want to do that!
China's Supreme Court did somewhat apologize-without-actually-saying-sorry re: point #2 (by admitting that authorities should've taken Dr. Li's "rumors" about it looking like SARS seriously instead of trying to shut him up). This would also apply to point #5 (which seems to be a duplicate of #2, really).
I agree, demonizing the Chinese people is the worst thing anyone can do. They didn't want this virus either, but they taught us how we can contain it, and they paid the price with countless human lives.

The CCP is the one that needs to be made responsible. However, they will label any attempt from the west as racism towards the Chinese, to avoid having to take up that responsibility.

Change will only happen when it doesn't look like the CCP is losing face by listening to what the west is dictating. Economic sanctions are the alternative, but that would threaten the supply of cheap Chinese labor.
This video explains the difference:

Wet markets should be banned because they contain endangered species and the vendors are committing horrible animal rights abuses, oh and they are responsible for multiple corona viruses too.
Sure, for the same price I can get a 8-core, 3 GHz base clock in a non-Apple laptop.
"I an enlightened centrist would like to see some facts about why authoritarianism is bad"
That would only list those recoveries that have been bad enough to warrant a test in the first place. With health care systems being overwhelmed the world over, almost no country is doing extensive testing of all people who suspect they might have been infected, meaning there will be a huge number of mild cases going unreported. South Korea is perhaps the only exception.
There's also the fact that Naval ships are built with countermeasures against Nuclear/Biological/Chemical threats in mind, they probably are designed better against a viral threat than a civilian ship, including better air filtration capabilities
Some (read: Trump supporters) say we should trust the government (read: the Trump administration) during this crisis, but how can that be possible when we've been lied to and this crisis has been downplayed over and over again?

Imagine if you're about to go skydiving and I'm responsible for packing your chute. As I pack, you notice a cord looks badly frayed. I tell you, "The cord is totally not frayed! They all look like that." Then I tell you, "Don't worry, we'll replace it before you go out." Then you find out we didn't actually replace it, and you look up on the internet that it can easily kill you. Then I say, "I knew it was a problem all along but we have a plan in place to handle that."

Would all of that make you feel less or more afraid of your skydiving experience?
There's a difference between a void of evidence because there's little (or no) effect, vs. a void of evidence because the potential causal factor (and observations of it) (in this case: novel coronavirus) hasn't been present long enough to allow more/better evidence.
Fuck off back to China you pissant.
I like where your head's at!
Thanks for sharing! I spread the info with my colleagues
How is calling it "Wuhan Virus" racist? It's literally the truth. I mean, the Spanish flu is also called the Spanish flu, and nobody's complaining.
> So, what’s the difference between a “wet market” and the sort of familiar farmer’s market of butchers/fishmongers/etc. that five-star restaurants source from all over the world?

That's exactly the question I have. How are these Chinese markets fundamentally different from, say, the Japanese Tsukiji fish market? Taking a look at pictures like https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vendors_begin_sell... it doesn't strike me as very much different from the Chinese wet markets.
South Korea has done the most extensive testing of any country and there death rate is running around 5%. But here we are playing "I’m not an epidemiologist but".
Sorry to be the bearer of an unpleasant reality, but the latter racist phrasing is far more recent than the attempts by the CCP to spread propaganda about this virus being a US army bio-weapon (which started weeks ago) and calling it the 'Wuhan virus' may be provocative but is not inaccurate.
What really matters is how fast will the serious (but perhaps not fatal if treated) cases completely DDoS your healthcare. After that point, the mortality rises for both the illness and everything else that's more serious than that illness.
What should they be using?

If someone understands this crude metric as "If you catch it and you show symptoms and you test positive, your likelihood of dieing is roughly (deaths divided by confirmed cases)" then that seems reasonable to me.

"Try to avoid catching it." is reasonable advice, as is "Be aware that you could catch it and be asymptomatic while still being infectious." to discourage people from visiting their grandparents this month.

I don't feel like I'm being misinformed if I divide deaths by confirmed cases, I feel like I'm getting a rough worst-case estimate.
Looks to be that's what they have done. They've developed a new tool called `zsys` https://github.com/ubuntu/zsys which will help with system administration, rollbacks, auto snapshots before and after package changes. I believe it will also support boot environments.
Lol, no, I asked you this question because the other guy said "Did anyone ask you?"

That way you could answer yes to him. It looks like he deleted his comment.
Keeping live animals for long periods of times in close proximity to food is a recipe for pandemics. This is the 4th caused under such circumstances in recent memory.

Closing the markets is the most straightforward solution. We must be decisive about this, it's the only reasonable option.
> Chinese folks with rural roots still associate freshness with how recently the meat was slaughtered. This is why sellers keep their animals alive and only butcher them before their customers’ eyes.

Anecdotally: I ate the best tasting salmon I've had for a long while. It was frozen salmon from ALDI.
Totally asinine to deplore the wet markets and not the horrors of what we're doing to other sentient species.
Covid-19_instant_tracing
I believe the parent comment meant the frequency of these viruses coming out of wet market environments is higher than other agricultural practices.
my new company just withdrew their offer (I started in a couple weeks) and I just left my previous gig (AV startup). backend+infra full stack python/go stuff

the new company's revenue went from 7 figures+ a month to 0 because of the virus and they are rightly freaking out
I bought one, maxed out everything but storage -can anybody really justify the 2TB option?

Fingers crossed it will work for lighter web dev work. I figure I'll know well within the 14 day return period. As a consultant, I work with a pretty diverse set of tools, but I figure I can at least do frontend work and throw together the odd lambda here and there. Also running a mac mini currently with a couple 4k screens as a main environment. Can anybody recommend a way to take both of these screens and switch their inputs easily between the mini and a macbook?
I have anxiety disorder and have been seeing a therapist for years. I've been freaking out about this disease since January (saw on reddit) and been prepping. My therapist kept saying me this is just the flu, and made me read articles like this. I read this article back when it's title was "Don't Worry About The Coronavirus. Worry About The Flu."

My point is, I don't think this is irresponsible. This is something else. This new pandemic is an unprecedented occurrence. Normally, the rational thing to do for to not be scared of a pandemic like this because all previous instances (avian, swine flues, SARS, MERS etc) ended up being ok. So, it seemed like being scared for this disease was irrational, panicky, anxious etc. I really don't disagree with that. Even many experts back then were arguing this will be like them. Turns out we just overfit to our immediate history of pandemics.
yeah, this has been my experience over the past few months. Luckily I'm only on the fence as to whether I want to switch jobs right now. I've been very take-it-or-leave it.

> always tell them politely what it would take to inspire me to consider a move, which amounts to an above-market raise

Same. Recently a recruiter really pissed me off. He flatly stated that this company was "willing to pay." There were no limits. Of course, I was skeptical. The ballpark he kept repeating to me sounded fine. Interview went great. The feedback from the company: "we're not willing to pay anywhere near that." I passed the interview apparently, but did not fall into their desired salary range. A huge WTF all around. It was their advertised range for crying out loud.

Either the company was kicking the tires and wasting my time (they rescheduled the interview twice, so I suspect they weren't interested at all), or the recruiter was a liar. It's possible they both wanted to see if I would bend and become a bargain.
Desecrating a burial site, rifling through a person's belongings, exposing their body to the elements and moving them to away from their preferred resting place to a basement. I think that this constitutes ignoring a culture.
The CCP aggressively fought the virus, giving us time (we wasted) to prepare.
I've heard government officials say don't trust "rumors you hear on the internet," which his incredibly condescending because the government has lied over and over again about the scope of this crisis, and /r/coronavirus made me aware of exactly what was going to happen, and exactly how to prepare.

So, no thank you. I will continue to take my own safety into my own hands, because they seem more concerned with the safety of business interests.
I quit my job in mid January because of burnout, left London for a couple of weeks and came back this Sunday.

I’m looking for remote roles exclusively. Now I’m not sure if the timing is perfect or just plain terrible:)

Also, I stopped reading the news. I just don’t think refreshing Twitter every 10 min whilst self isolating can be good to your mental health.
The unedited post originally called them "feral people."
> ie you push a button and then it sprays water over the sprinkler.

Does it spray bleach or soap or just plain water? You wouldn't wash your hands with just water.
You can't control every agent in the world. You literally have to have a tolerance for the existence of a few stupid ones.
The actual differences in CFR have non-linear effects on the scariness of the outbreak: COVID-19 has demonstrated an ability to crush the healthcare system of a modern, wealthy G7 nation, and that has (rightly) spooked people.
You’re not doing that from a Mac air.
It's not actually known yet what the source of Covid19 is. There's some evidence it may have originated in the US, partly confirmed by the CDC https://twitter.com/BlackHammerOrg/status/124032448907179212...

In addition, factory farming is arguably worse than wet markets, with plenty of diseases originating from it so far.
Here you go buddy:

I'm a lefty, so I think it's important to consider that viruses or diseases are often named for the first person to have them, discover them or the region in which they originated.

- Hodgkins Lymphoma is named after... Thomas Hodgkin who discovered it.

- Ebola is named after the Ebola River in the DRC. (https://goo.gl/maps/dF1MMnpBBwXpAZ3k8)

- Lyme disease is named after Old Lyme, Connecticut. (https://goo.gl/maps/Haqg2fxmYwcHELRY8)

- Bornholm disease is named after Bornholm Island in Denmark (https://goo.gl/maps/LDWDw5iS9X2xsA3B8), which is caused by the Coxsackie B virus named after... Coxsackie, New York, a small town on the Hudson where it was isolated. (https://goo.gl/maps/RKrhBup2ZAgzXVGJ9)

The recent bout of sensitivity is likely a game of left v. right finger-pointing. Who cares whether it's the Wuhan virus, the Wengliang Flu (after the man who discovered it) or nCoV-19? Go find a cure, a vaccine, etc. Naming a disease after where it started is a long-standing tradition. [1] This kind of shit-stirring over something nobody is actually offended by is exactly what gets the right worked up.

[EDIT] In fact, having a disease named after you is considered honorific: "Eponyms are a longstanding tradition in Western science and medicine. Being awarded an eponym is regarded as an honor: 'Eponymity, not anonymity, is the standard.' The scientific and medical communities regard it as bad form to attempt to eponymise oneself." [1]

South Korea does exhaustive and they get a fatality rate of 1%. WHO gives 1% max + 20% needing hospitalization. The various cruise ships also give a good idea.

At the start, the "Many thousands of mildly symptomatic infections aren't recorded" claim had plausibility. Now it needs to die in fire. This stuff has demonstrated it's qualities at scale and we need to get with it.
