What in TFA indicates that these policies were intended to stop online bullying? Just as plausible to think that they were intended to create a saccharine user experience in order to promote growth.

Unless there are patents involved.
"Response", not "remarry".
I don't see how any of what he's saying can be interpreted as controversial and I think you're nitpicking. I watched his presentation and to me he is clearly suggesting we move to a treatment based approach _after_ finding something that works, while suggesting that we can do better than we did with cholera and aids - medical professionals didn't even want to test their patients.

And obviously nothing coming out now is going to be clinical trial grade research! At least you admit that he's onto something, so it's strange to see you up and down this thread criticizing his work and presentation.
Because the above counter-argument is that you only belong to this class when people put you in it.
This is a direct contradiction to what the CDC has been saying from the beginning, and continues to say:

> The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

> - Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).

> - Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

> These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

And:

> It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

This is patently false. Unless you're calling the US an authoritarian state.
> So should high end nightclubs be publicly shamed for doing what they do (when what their "users" want is exactly non-ugly people) and driven out of business?

Business that engage in immoral behaviour should be shamed. Doesn't matter if it is casino sites, drug dealers or nightclubs that discriminate against ugly people. Whether that shaming results in them becoming unprofitable is beside the point.
Perhaps China forbid grocery store visits, but Italy did not and the US will not either. It’s panic, pure and simple (unless you’re in a high-risk category, then it’s simply preparing to truly isolate)

I’m 36 and I’m not worried about catching the coronavirus, I’m worried about spreading it.
I've started wrapping shared touch surfaces (doorknobs, handles, etc) in my apartment with copper tape. It's pretty cheap ($12 for 66ft on Amazon). You do need to be careful about gripping the surfaces though, because the sharp edges in the copper foil can cause small cuts which would actually make you more susceptible to viral infection.
Sure, except the mortality rate is nowhere near 100% and you will likely acquire the virus or it’s descendants at some point unless you continue washing your cereal boxes forever.
It was an old design of the periodic table. Presumably the rectangular tabular form was used because that's how it was developed and to show the similarity to the tool he's trying to explain. I think it was a good example of his general point, but it was poorly presented. He could have shown a familiarly shaped periodic table and then shown the version to make it more clear.
Force majeure.
I don't speak Italian, but I think the issue is this:

"Risposata" is "remarry." Presumably they wanted "risposta," which is "response." Probably just a typo.

Didn't some study recently say that in China a key practice for containment was removing infected family members from households and placing them in quarantine?

I'm a little skeptical of self-isolating in a home with other people. You're all in it together at that point.

I'm not sure "everyone in the house will catch it", but probably everyone will be exposed.
Sounds like that's already happening with a new price of "free" and they're not happy about it.
How do you know? It is not like there was any testing there.

Planes evacuating people from Wuhan (also ~47 days ago) were having 1% of virus positives at the time.
Training doesn't necessarily require three lectures a week + 2 exams, or anything like that, but I think it does require some sort of sustained, deliberate attempt at instruction.

I'm very happy with my postdoc, for what it's worth, and the very beginning did have some explicit training. The rest of it though, has much more like a job: you do something, get feedback on it, and make some changes. Repeat and hopefully need to make fewer changes each time. Critically, you don't get a lot of "generalized" feedback; it's coupled to the specific thing that you're both working on and comes from the one person you work for.

I think in most other fields, the postdoc equivalent would be something like "jr. <whatever>" or "associate." Medical residencies seem to have a bit more structure, at least from the outside.
I'll give Mumble a try. Thank you!
Based on this and other comments of yours in the thread, it feels like you have some vested interest in advertising "Netlify and Zelt" (whatever those are) without declaring your interest in them.

If you truly have no interest in them other than as a user, then it seems as if you're not aware of alternatives such as AWS Amplify. You haven't responded to any of the comments pointing out the issues with your claims.

Whatever book you're a co-author of doesn't sound as though it's worth the price.
I'm sure we'll start to get some. Surely some members of the phone generation are more devastatingly dexterous on a phone than a keyboard.

What's the name of the manufacturer?
This is likely an already known trick. However, if it isn't, it is a way that computer science can be applied to greatly increase testing throughput and proportionately reduce the cost of RT-PCR viral RNA testing.

Can someone with better knowledge either confirm the method is already known, or perhaps comment on whether or not this would even work.

Thank you.

That sounds like anxiety to me. I used to get that in my early 20s with those exact symptoms. That was before I learn to recognize my anxiety. Breathing tools were the best solution, at different times I've needed anti-anxiety medication.

Chest tightness and panicked breathing, followed by heart palpitations with no other primary symptoms (fever, cough, etc).

This is a very stressful time, especially for high-information consumers. I wouldn't be surprised if there are thousands of people right now mistaking anxiety for COVID symptoms. Over analyzing your health can lead to some crazy self-driven outcomes too.
To Track Virus, Governments Weigh Surveillance Tools That Push Privacy Limits
Let's say the regulatory costs add up to $100,000,000 and the valve has a marginal cost of $1.00 to make and distribute. They would have to sell just 10,000 units to more than offset their investment. I think I'd wager the world needs more than 10,000 air valves.

How can one justify this kind of vicious exploitation of publicly funded healthcare?
That's very interesting. Thanks for the data <3.
I think you are confused with trademark law.
There are, as you might expect, a few caveats.

The conversion relies on some kind of cloud service (possibly Google's Cloud Vision API). So you need to be connected and there are privacy/security implications. And, it's very dependent on your handwriting. I cannot get coherent results with that feature, but my handwriting is as readable as base64-encoded Perl. I've seen it produce impressively good results when other people try it.

The process itself is indeed smooth, select an item in the menu and a few seconds later you have the text, which can then be emailed.
May be having the inability to produce for the required (life-saving) demand should invalidate the “lost sales” argument. Anyways, wait for the deaths to mount and they will all come around in fear of retribution

I just wipe them down with disinfecting wipes, then wash my hands after disposing the box.
Interesting that the virus remains potent on plastic and stainless steel longer than cardboard. One would expect non-porous surfaces (e.g. steel) to be more "clean".

> On top of that, you have to account for the potential lawsuit if your 3D-printed knockoff respirator valve fails and someone dies.

In that case, the alternative was a few people over there going to die by slow asphyxiation, so the 3D-printed knockoffs were a really good thing, even if some of them failed.
Right on the heels of SoftBank-owned Labrador Diagnostics LLC suing over COVID tests: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22598988

Which company is suing over the 3D-printed valves? We need to name and shame. If we're unwilling to call out monopolists putting profits over even human life, then we, too, are complicit.

On another note, I'm of the increasingly-strong belief that patent suits should be deemed automatically dismissed if the "infringement" is a response to either an inability or unwillingness of the patent holder to actually use that patent productively (i.e. produce something using that patent). In this case, if the original manufacturer is out of stock, 3D printing replacements should be fair game. Likewise, if we don't have enough testing kits, making and distributing more should be fair game.

Tesla is not essential business as defined in the Alameda County Health Order
You think booking revenue at a later date restricts them from spending the cash they receive now? It helps them because they receive cash that can be physically spent for whatever they need. FASB guidelines just prevents them from matching those expenses to revenue from a tax perspective. If I receive $250,000 in gift card sales in 2020 but all $250,000 get redeemed in 2021, then your revenue in 2020 should not reflect this $250k, but instead be reflected in 2021. All else equal, in the event the restaurant owner took the convenient and simple path of recognizing the expenses in 2020, it would just mean their tax bill in 2021 would be much higher because their net revenue (sales - COGs) would be high as a result of the $250k in revenue being realized.

If your plan is to finance yourself by charging $11k for a piece of plastic maybe you need another plan because people will rightfully crucify you.

All three of your numbers are purely hypothetical and are likely out by one or two orders of magnitude.

My point is that people saying that it is overpriced don't understand the input costs of medical devices.
I think you're right about the general attitude, I just get really frustrated by it. The bailouts were help for normal people (the alternative was double digit mortgage interest rates and everyone's house being under water). And the bailouts turned a cash profit too, so right now we're all paying less tax for more services than we otherwise would.

The fact people don't know these simple facts makes me wonder how much longer democracy can be made to work. People just believe whatever sounds most exciting and then vote against things that are in their (and the national) interest. What's a guy to do!?
It’s crazy that PA shut down the liquor stores, hopefully there’s enough beer and wine left for the truly bad alcoholics that will seize and die without it, seems like a very foolish decision to me, to add the potential strain of alcoholics in withdrawal to the medical system.

As opposed to not having a valve at all? The hospital wouldn't need knockoff valves if they had the real thing. In such dire circumstances I don't think any judge would fault you for going the unconventional route to deliver results. It's similar to how captains on boats and airplanes are allowed to break almost any regulation in the book to ensure the safety of their passengers.

The Alameda county order only allows for construction of replacement parts, which can be obviously argued is necessary. People need cars to get to work; people like doctors and nurses and grocery store clerks on the front lines of this pandemic. A shortage of replacement parts for their cars would only make it harder for them to fight this.
Thanks for that info.

I had assumed there was some Federal coordination, but I see it is up to each state to take initiative.
I'd like to see the police in San Mateo and Alameda prohibit people from entering the building unless their roles fit said needs. It'd be a good demonstration against reckless management.
You're right, it's probably closer to a billion dollars to develop and $0.10 to produce. Doesn't change my argument very much.

This part seems less than optimally ethical. If it's a choice between helping other hospitals to save lives and to avoid additional legal liability, this seems like a good hill to go bankrupt on.

But...if someone slipped the file to me I wouldn't publish it either. So I can't fault them for being as faulty as me.
It is definitely worth a listen. Short episodes and very good story.
> It's not $11,000 for a plastic valve. It's $11,000 for a plastic valve and the many thousands of hours of R&D, testing, validation, certification and risk.

Nope. Sorry. Not buying that argument this time. I accept that argument for patent exclusion periods and high prices on medication, because the R&D has enormous risk costs when medications don't work or don't get approval. Allowing pharmaceutical companies to recoup those costs is vital to innovation and public health. This is a piece of plastic that's part of a larger machine. There was no enormous R&D budget required to develop the replaceable component. By all means let them make money on the machine, but the argument doesn't hold up for this simple maintenance component.
