So my brother works in the pawn business but he has a side hustle that does asset management stuff. I’ve passively watched some of the stuff he does and what a bunch of these small businesses do. Wild live auctions on Facebook live, lots of wholesale stuff through various channels, etc. anyway the margins are pretty slim in this industry so pretty much all of the existing services are out of the question. So I’m thinking being somewhere between Shopify and eBay, but make the pricing model competitive enough that these types of businesses will actually use a service tailored to serve these markets. The current market I think this could work in is Gold/Silver businesses that operate as more of a side hustle/hobby than a full blown broker.

> Why is the New York Times writing about it now?

For "political/cultural" topics, I generally ask does the article align with the company's/editorial staff's biases.

For important geopolitical topics, I generally ask does the article align with the company's masters' biases.

What a company chooses to cover or not cover and how a company chooses to cover a story becomes rather obvious. After a while, you can pretty much tell whether a story will be cover by a company and how they are going to spin it.

It's hard to say. If the situation isn't special since we had numerous lawsuits like this before, then I guess we can ask what else is special? Maybe we can run down the "who,what,when,where,why". Lets start with who. Is there anything special there?

No. Fish for sushi is recommended to be flash frozen or frozen for X number of days to kill the parasites. FDA recommendations for freezing fish to kill parasites.

"Freezing and storing at an ambient temperature of -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time), or freezing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours, or freezing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at an ambient temperature of -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24 hours are sufficient to kill parasites. Note that these conditions may not be suitable for freezing particularly large fish (e.g., thicker than 6 inches). "

https://www.fda.gov/media/80777/download

You could freeze fish in your freezer since most freezers can do -4°F or lower, but it will just take longer to kill the parasites.

People also catch fish, check for parasites visually and then prepare it sushi/sashimi style and eat it. Even here, you'll generally be okay but the odds of getting sick increases.

Also, the article is from eurekaalrt and the headline is clickbait nonsense.

Even if "sushi parasite" increased 283 fold, what's the increase in sushi consumption? It went from pretty much 0 40 years ago to being almost ubiquitous today.

Keys are not really removed in code, only from the wire format. In code you can still write `myObject.property` but the minifier translates that to say, `a[6]` instead. Naturally there would be tools for the developer to translate these arrays back into full objects in the case of debugging in production. Harder to reason about yes, but few devs would reason about their code using minified code, why should they reason about using minified wire format?

(Of course I must admit that this is only suitable for private APIs, not APIs published to explicitly allow third parties to use.)

Last Sunday I was messing around with Godot engine[0] doodling and I made
a kind of "physics toy" (calling it a game would be too much, although
it's a lot of fun.) I loaded a simple space ship model from a free game
assets site,[1] turned off gravity, and added some simple controls. I
found a cool background[2], also free, and put in some asteroids and a
little star.

And that's pretty much it.

All you can do is fly around and bounce off of things. I didn't implement
any collision logic, so everything is indestructable, but you can chase
and attempt to herd asteroids, or bounce off the sun! The physics of the ship mimic the real world: turning doesn't affect your velocity (no swooping.) But conservation of angular momentum was such a PITA that I made it so the ship automatically damps it. I also made a "magic" brake that just slows you down relative to the frame of the sun.

Godot is really tight. It has a
few weird glitches here and there but overall it's a joy to work with.
(As an aside, I was trying to make some meshes and things in Blender and
O how I hate that UI. I have a total love/hate thing with Blender. One
the one hand it's so good and powerful and has such a compelling life
story, on the other hand it literally gives me a headache when I use it.)

Anyhow, FWIW I just pushed the "game" to srht: https://git.sr.ht/~sforman/SpaceGame
so y'all can take a look.

You should be able to load it into Godot 3.2 and run it or edit it. It's
a little messy, I apologize. It's only a week old and I haven't spent a
lot of time on it, but I'm learning techniques and adding little things
here and there.

There are soooo many possibilities... I didn't plan to make this, but I
imagine I'll keep messing with it. Scratching an itch. (In a world that
contains e.g. Kerbal Space Program and EVE Online do I really want to
spend a lot of time on this?) One thing I want to try is connecting to a Prolog server via websocket
and using it as the ship's computer.

BTW, the thought occurred to me the other day that, since Godot has HTML
as an export target, it's a valid front-end authoring tool, especially
if VR|AR takes off, eh?

This whole covid-insanity has a huge knowledge hole about the mild cases, which do not require hospitalizations and would show what the vast majority of the population can expect: nothing.

but I guess if you don't die it won't generate clicks and viral shares, so nobody care about your recovery. kthxby. just kidding. glad to know you are fine. just remember that recurring infections by variations is what killed young brave doctors. continue to take care.
So if you have a terminal cancer and get coronavirus that means you don't get a ventilator. That's the nice part.

The next part is "living an acceptable" quality of life. This probably means anyone not brain damaged and anyone they think won't require oxygen later. Might mean people not currently on oxygen when they get covid-19.

And despite all of that he says that this system is under strain.

I don't think touching your face is a problem. It is touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. When you are wearing a mask you can't touch your mouth and nose. The "don't touch your face" is a simplification of what people should really be worried about. Rubbing eyes, touching inside the nose, and in the mouth. Sometimes this is advice given.

He didn't predict the Internet as we know it today. His book "The Road Ahead" didn't mention it as being important.

Time will tell, but from that article:

They say testing errors are more likely to blame — either false negatives that resulted in patients being discharged too early, or false positives when they retested and were taken back into hospital.

Sure, large companies can easily run a on-premise coordination server. But large companies usually also have a network department and several other SDN and VPN solutions already. They are probably using highly tuned and standardized ipsec tunnels with hw accelerated AES encryption and special devices from different vendors.

I think tailscale could become the #1 solution for personal users and small / mid-sized companies (some of them might not even have an IT dept). At least the easy installation, the single process design (no separate IKE service etc.) and the opinionated modern cryptography - that deliberately does not allow any configuration at all - would make it a really good candidate for those use cases.

This users can probably rent a cheap $3 VPS easily and use it as an on-prem coordination server. However, this increases the installation effort considerable and trusting the cheap $3 VPS to be an essential part of your cooperate network might be a deal breaker. Many of those users might not even have a dedicated team for server maintenance and might not apply security updates regularly.

So, please add an (optional) additional PSK (or key pair / certificate) to each node that is not shared with the coordination server and can be used to sign / verify the configuration on each client. Users that do not care don't have to specify anything (they just have to log-in and everything works). Users that do care would have to login and provide the PSK on each device.

(And to be clear, the problem is not that I do not trust you. I am sure you are doing a great job and I would really like to use your service. But you are an US based company and with the new data protection laws within the EU it might not be easy to convince all customers that potentially sending all their data to a third-party company within the US is necessary.)

Exactly. Not very GDPR compliant...
ResMed is a big manufacturer of CPAP machines as well as ventilators, and is the only US-based company listed in this Reuters article about ramping up ventilator production [0]. It says, "ResMed has reallocated resources away from producing other devices to meet demand that is more than four times normal levels". So it's possible they are making fewer CPAP machines and more ventilators.

This article is bad.
1. The cost the mine a resource trends towards the value of the resource. As Bitcoin value goes up and down, hash rate tracks it going up and down. Increases in efficiency allow you to hash more at lower cost. However this is a red herring, as waste is required for POW, because: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory

Thus, money wasted on hardware and electricity tracks Bitcoin price, and hash rate itself is a function of efficiency times energy waste while staying under BTC price profitability cap.

2. Most blockchains are empty, and they all work "decently." As decently as the worlds most expensive and slowest databases can be. What blockchains need is not higher TPS or lower fees, but more users. They say the demand for unlimited free storage is infinite, so a fee market must always exist, bounded by storage costs (and duplication across many nodes.)

By the way, when I say most blockchains are empty, the amount of fee revenue generated per chain per day is PITIFUL and falls of amazingly fast. https://coinmetrics.io/charts/#assets=btc,bch_roll=7_left=Fe... says:
BTC $342,000 in fees per day.
ETH $95,000 in fees per day.
BCH $130 in fees a day

3. 1000tps is already in production by zkrollups and optimistic rollups on ETH. See it in production at loopring.io. There's more BTC wrapped on ETH than in lightning on BTC.

Disclaimer: I founded the #76 highest marketcap cryptocurrency, and one of its features is not paying miners block rewards, only fees.

P.S. Scaling is cured enough for now using zkrollups. The market for slow, expensive databases should always be restricted to things that REQUIRE censorship resistance, and most things do not.
”Wuhan has stopped testing, that is why new case = 0 there.“
Surely people who have hayfever and get anosmia every year would realise that they therefore can't get an indicative result from such a test?

If healthcare surveys are being done one would expect questions on any recurring/existing conditions, and if people have any history of anosmia already.

> so anything that can make it easier to get people tested is key

Unfortunately not necessarily. We are past testing in some areas, and people seeking testing is putting strain on overloaded resources.

See for example:

“Not every single person in the U.S. needs to get tested,” said Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “When you go in and get tested, you are consuming personal protective equipment, masks and gowns — those are high priority for the health care workers who are taking care of people who have coronavirus disease.”

Learning animation at the moment.
Trying to codify the “tour” that a developer would have to otherwise discover themselves, is exactly what I’m trying to help with. This just seems like such an important phase of learning, that is currently way too manual.

Regarding the comment about tours becoming stale: when you record the tour, you can choose to associate it with a specific commit/tag/branch. That way, when someone plays it back, it will continue to make sense, even in the midst of minor code changes/refactorings.

I’ve also been working on making the tour editing experience as simple as possible, so that as you need to revise the tour over time, it’s not too difficult to do.

That said, any artifact that’s a derivative/compliment of code (e.g. documentation, tests), represents an additional “burden” to maintain. So I’m focused on trying to keep the tours “stable” enough to support learning, and reduce the cost to editing them, to hopefully support the continued investment.

I’m semi-hopeful that there’s a nice balance here, that provides an enjoyable enough DX, coupled with the team’s motivation/benefits to retain and transfer such important knowledge. We’ll see how it goes!
PICs are also very low-power and low-cost.

They still have a bit of a niche in the world of modern microcontrollers, unlike some popular 8-bit MCUs that I could name...
Kind of extrapolating from other countries, I think this points to the number of cases as being about 3-4x higher than reported -- if you are trying to do an apples to apples comparison (which is virtually impossible, but...). Also, I think it's instructive to look at the ratio of people tested to the number of positive results. Wikipedia has about 18k people being tested as of 2 days ago (compared to the nearly 70k people tested in the UK). So the ratio of people infected to the ratio of people tested is fairly close to other places. This indicates to me that the lower numbers of people infected are primarily due to lack of testing.
Easiest solution is something like an iPad with FaceTime. Only put in the few contacts she needs and clear off one of the screens till the only thing on it is FaceTime and she can push it and push the persons name to call them. And if she gets a call, just push green to answer.

I know FaceTime isn't perfect, and iPad's aren't cheap, but it is easier then a computer setup and all the potential things that can happen there. Skype, GoToMeeting, Zoom etc are all way to complex for what you want to do IMO.

Might be able to do something similar with an Android tablet and Google Duo, but I'd probably say iPad with FaceTime is easier. This has been my goto solution for a few elderly people I have helped with similar things where they wanted to be able to talk too the grandkids etc.
Rapid Antibody Test Generates Results in under 15 minutes
In my area, that's closer to 6 months supply. I went to Costco right after the coronavirus data hit the mainstream news and before Costco put limits on basic items like TP, and a lot of people were buying 2 packages of TP. In fact, one of the Costco stores had to close because of a fight over TP. Each package at Costco has 36 rolls, so if you use 1 roll/week, that's well over a year's supply. For my family of 4, a 36-pack lasts >6 months (probably closer to a year, I haven't bothered to calculate it), and we picked some up about 2-3 months ago, so we didn't bother buying more.

That's why it's so weird to me that people are buying so much. How long do people expect this to last? I'm guessing it'll be resolved within a couple months in most places, so what's the point in buying >6 months worth of TP?

Honestly, I think everyone with means should have 1-2 months of basic necessities on hand in case of emergencies (job loss, natural disaster, etc), especially for shelf-stable stuff like TP and soap. However, the time to stock up isn't when an emergency happens, but after an emergency happens (presumably your stock is a bit low).

I had a similar idea for wikipedia.

Example: a short, by words, explanation for a mathematical problem. Then, the possibility to expand to a more rigorous proof and so on. This would enforce a top/down type of writing that could benefits audience and creators. I believe it would easely apply to the great part of knowledge sharing.

Neat implementation.

Case fatality rate is defined as the fatality rate of known cases. You can’t know the final mortality rate until everyone’s either dead or recovered. While anyone has it, it’s preliminary, and it’s called the CFR. Happy to dig the report up for you but this is just a logical conclusion.

CFR matches IFR not when all cases are diagnosed but when all cases are resolved.

Serving the fish whole doesn't address the problem that most people not accustomed to being served a whole fish likely don't know what a salmon or tuna or trout or tilapia or yellowtail or what have you actually looks like, let alone be able to differentiate between them. Sure, maybe they'll figure out some obvious cases (catfish are pretty distinctive, and anchovies/sardines are typically served whole even in the "West"), and some freshwater fish like salmon and trout might be recognizable to folks who've gone fishing at least once in their lives, but otherwise there's a pretty good chance you can point at a halibut, say "this is a tilapia", and get someone to believe you.
