Those payments in turn pay for other things. Stopping them, stops everything. Pensions and 401ks, all kinds of commercial paper holding money short term stops, almost all home and commercial property sales stop, companies can't pay their own big bills due to vendors or fulfill order to customers, or can't convert bonds to stocks.

It's too simple of an idea. What you are looking for is the time equivalent of printing money. Right now that's magical, it's a deus ex machina event. It's implausible. You have to innovate it, and until then it's a fantasy.

Apple almost died in the 90s, and that organizational trauma persists to this day. That is probably partly one reason why they amassed so much cash, and why they don't pay as well as other SF bigtech companies.
People really do appreciate such convenience. I am not familiar with Zig, but GO provides me similar experiences for cross-compilation.

It says "turned off the availability of personalized data for a small fraction of randomly selected users" and "The experiment was applied to a small fraction of each publisher’s traffic because we did not want to materially affect publisher revenue, though in aggregate the amount of traffic evaluated as part of the experiment was significant". It sounds like you're responding to a version of the experiment that was run on a per-publisher basis?

> was this analysis conducted on other ad exchanges?

It says the experiment was conducted "through the programmatic arm of Google Ad Manager’s serving system". I'm not sure what this means, but I don't think it includes AppNexus or Rubicon.

I believe any publisher could run their own version of this experiment by picking a slice of traffic and telling all their bidders to only show non-personalized ads.

There is no evidence this pandemic will be over at any time in the near or long term future, just a thus far folorn hope. For all we know it will persist for a couple of waves of death, then as a mutation, year on year. The fragility of our health systems has been exposed and the ability of manufacturers to ramp up production, or even share designs[0] so they can be fixed in the meantime, has also been show to be lacking so some competition in the space to

a) produce more ventilators

b) hopefully produce better ventilators

c) make them cheaper

cannot be a bad thing. The chances of having an antiviral or vaccine before Dyson completes a viable ventilator are also pie in the sky, so pick your horse and back it, it's all going to be too late for too many.

> It's bullshit anyway, we're seeing "a very large acceleration in cases in the U.S" because there was a very large increase in testing

This is bullshit. I can tell you that here in Kansas and Missouri they have given up on testing. You can only be tested if you present symptoms such that you require hospitalization and a doctor approves the test. Health care workers are told to self-quarantine if they think they are infected for seven days, but do not get the test. Yeah, should be 14 days, but we can't afford to loose people.

We are critically low on testing kits and protective gear such that CORVID is now considered community communicable and no point to test unless necessary. Kansas City has gone into lock down. We've moved to telemedicine, stopped elective surgeries, closed schools and non essential business.

That's where you need much smaller bailouts and stimuli. Agriculture is less than 1% of the GDP. The currently-discussed bailout is big enough to feed all of America for years. And it's actually not a bad idea to nationalize food distribution -- supermarkets are where the virus spreads. Many countries have switched to safe deliveries of food.

And conversely, the current bailout, as proposed, doesn't come anywhere close to stopping mortgage defaults, layoffs, and the slew of other issues.

Now, this plan basically means you don't buy new things (cars, laptops) for 3 months, but I think that's okay. But yes, it only covers 95% of the problem. Companies might need help with, for example, restarting production lines, maintenance costs, supply chain delays, or other issues. All that is pocket change compared to what we're looking at spending right now.
Sometimes I have lamented the fact that 80% of everything we're ever going to properly discover in Computer Science has already been discovered forty years ago.

What hasn't been explored very well is how to formulate these solutions so mere mortals can comprehend how they work. Algorithms accessibility is, I believe, the limiting factor on building systems any bigger than the ones we have now. When there is one tricky bit in the code, you can get away with asking people to dive in and learn it. When there are 50? 100? Just figuring out the consequences of how those systems interact is a full time job, let alone how they function internally.

Give me a SAT solver, or a parser, or half a dozen other things, that decomposes a problem the way a human would do it, just faster and with far more accuracy, and I could learn it in a week. Take all my Paxoses and replace them with Raft, then swing by and make a second pass on a few.
Engineers create systems where individual vigilance is less disastrous, or where vigilance is augmented. The real world and tech world still does rely on brute-force responsibility sometimes, to cover the gaps in a plan where the details were left out.
They get a bailout.

I have to say, one of the things that is driving me mad these days is the level of ignorance evidenced by both popular and media conversations about all of this stuff.

I mean, are we watching too many science fiction movies?

Have we lost any connection to what it actually takes to make things?

With over thirty years in technology and manufacturing I would not touch the rapid development of a ventilator with a ten foot pole. As you correctly state, designing such devices takes years. And, beyond that, it takes decades of accumulated experience to inform the decisions and choices made during the design of any modern device. And then there's the years of testing, qualification and supply chain engineering.

No, the only way to make ventilators is to make more of an already proven design under the supervision of the companies already making them. In other words, expand their production capacity by retooling already capable manufacturing environments.

Watching the White House press briefings I can't help but feel that reporters must think Trump is Captain Picard who, armed with advanced replicators, can replicate mass quantities of anything within days. Oh, yes, and he must be Superman too.

In real life things take time. And if your industrial base has been almost completely off-shored, it takes even longer. If it's even possible at all.
I'm really curious if you'd get the same results if you put the mask in a bag and sous vided it.

People could do that on their stove with a pot of water and a thermometer.
To add context. That supplies the plastic screen. The printer is used to print the headband and support frame.
They are much worse.
Where does the oxygen at the bottom of the ocean come from I wonder?
Wouldn't just leaving the mask alone for say 72 hours decontaminate it? Viruses can't survive for that long, so should be safe to reuse the mask after 72 hours?

I'm a bidet person too and I still use toilet paper.
No, they shouldn't because an 80% effective ventilator might kill someone when a company that knows how to make ventilators could just produce a 100% effective one.
Someone had one of these 'backplane' style boards a few years ago, but they only used it for flashing Pis for distribution. I don't think they ever made it commercially available.

This looks fairly similar.

It had me read a bit and 1% is kinda normal for a normal home. If that pushes it to far above what people can pay or to far above what rents are paid for similar properties one would usually lower it.

If there is enough inequality in the area the 0.1% rent could be realistic.

When employees are peeing in bottles for fear of getting fired over the time constraints imposed upon them, that's inhumane. No matter what kind of health insurance they get. The point remains that these constraints could easily be loosened just enough to become humane, and the company (and Jeff) would make slightly less money, but everyone would still make off fine. But they aren't.
I'm curious about why this is being downvoted.

Aside from the economic effects of the epidemic, I would consider this to be part of the public health response. If retail stores don't need to pay rent, they're going to feel less pressure to stay open and get customers in where they can infect each other.
You are responding to arguments that nobody (at least that I've seen) are making.

This has nothing to do with terms of art. The WHO used the CFR at a moment when every expert was pointing out that the vast majority of cases were unknown and unreported. If the WHO wanted to publish a specific report, outlining their methodology, and including the (not very useful) CFR, that'd have been fine, and in keeping with what we might expect from the practices of a world-class public health organization.

But they didn't. They held a press conference, intended for the general public, during which the director read a prepared statement that said, "Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected," with no further clarification of what those numbers mean or what it means to compare them in this fashion.

> The problem is that the general population doesn't understand that you can't project from a CFR at one instant in time to the actual fatality rate in the population.

I don't think this is the problem. I think that the problem is that the WHO chose to use this number without explaining it, and used it in a comparison that makes no sense.

> But there's no need to criticize epidemiological terms of art just because people don't understand them and/or misuse them.

Just to be clear: you are criticizing John Ioannidis for his lack of understanding of the terms of art of epidemiology because he thinks that the WHO press conference was misleading? Do I have that right? How exactly do you suggest he frame his argument so as not to run afoul of this rule?

Do you make the same argument of all of the experts around the world pointing to "the denominator problem"?
