> In regards to the author of the video, many comments on social media call him a doctor, however he does not call himself one in the video. According to what EFE was able to verify, his Facebook profile shows him as a resident of Badajoz and an alumnus of CICE at ITAE, a business school in Badajoz.

I live in Japan and from what I can see, even if they are under-reporting the cases, the hospitals (at least in Tokyo) doesn't seem to be overloaded with cases.

Another thing that I notice is that people here are not in panic mode, which might help a lot to not overload the hospitals and might help as well with how people mentally react to the situation. Being stressed all the time won't help at all during this pandemic.
True, but at least it prevents them from linking accounts. It is equivalent to no profile picture, which you might not want to keep up appearances.
No, it is a consequence of not being employed which is clearly what I wrote above and why you cant compare those situations.
Actually, while I think npm is the worst example, I am of the opinion that this is the largest issue facing OSS today.

Companies using lots of OSS packages without ever giving back a dime. The argument is always that this helps developers get a job, but often enough the jobs don't allow the developers to work full time on those packages, but they are still somehow expected to continue the work in their past-time.

The guy posted the results of his call for funding, he got to $50 a month on patreon! For maintaining a package that likely 100s or 1000s of companies depend on for the work.

You're stopping payments for a lot of things. I assume the people on the recieving ends of those payments are still expected to buy food somehow? How?

Or are we also expecting that grocery stores provide food on credit that they are not expected to collect on any time soon?

> Conclusion

> The increase on the proportion of infectious persons as a proxy for the increase of the infectious dose a susceptible person is exposed, as the epidemic develops, can explain the shift in case-fatality rate between waves during the 1918 influenza pandemic.

I don't have the tuits to read and analyze the entire paper, but I pasted the conclusion above.

My interpretation is that a longer period of "social distancing" would have helped in 1918, though it was so infectious that it went global before airliners.

As apparently people were still infectious after they felt better and left their house, causing healthy people to become even sicker than expected with the increased viral load from both pre-symptom and still recovering patients.

Can somebody study the entire paper and see if my interpretation is what the paper is implying?

Also, for those not familiar with that pandemic, it was a subtype of H1N1 and the highest in fatalities, killing 50-100 million people, and occurred near the end of WW1, which also meant famine in parts of Europe. Like corona, it affected the lungs.

A lot of nobility died in WW1 (machine guns killed soldiers and their commanders alike), which ended the influence of European royalty outside Britain.

76% of americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. Regardless of if you like it or not, a time will come when massive amounts of rents aren't paid. It can either fully immiserate the economy (most likely course of action), or it can be paused.

> the markets simply won't function at all even on a purely basic level

Can we please stop pretending that this zombie market we've propped up since 2008 works? If you like markets, then you shouldn't agree with the fact that the government can effectively be held hostage every decade or so due to "too big to fail."
The spiral rule works if "pointer to" and "function returning"/"array of" alternate but it breaks if they don't, i.e., if you have arrays of arrays or pointers to pointers.

int** arr1_of_arr2_of_arr3_of_ptr_to_ptr_to_int[1][2][3]

In this case, spiraling between [1], ×, [2], ×, [3], int is obviously wrong, the correct reading order is [1], [2], [3], ×, ×, int. (Edit: read × = *)

If only the world were so simplistic. 300 Chinese doctors and equipment arrived in Italy last week. They are anxious to share what they know, to help, and heal, as doctors do. That the CCP gets good press out of it is the sort of “soft power” that the US has forgotten.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-doctors-and-supplies-ar...
Presumably the 500 beds have equipment and staff. When they talk about hospital ICU beds it means a bed with staff and equipment for its task.

Also I wonder how much economy of scale of staff you get if all patients have the same condition are anaesthetised, intubated and on a ventilator.
Ask HN: How to self-study physics?
Hey HN,

I'm a CS graduate student, and I do a lot of Deep Learning Research. I've always wanted to get a strong foundation in Physics, and while on lockdown because of COVID, I thought it would be a great opportunity.

I've run across this incredible guide https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2016/8/13/so-you-want-to-l... and I was also thinking about going through MIT Open Courseware following their bachelor's curriculum.

Do you all have any suggestions or tips? I really appreciate it!
>>Sorry but that is not true. The truth is that the majority of the economically active population is not at risk from dying.

Majority is 50% plus 1. That's not how things should be done, unless you are making an argument for herd immunity. On the other hand, we risk death in a lot of ways, yet go out and work. At some point we'll have to go out

3. How helpful are the basic apps we use email, telegram, WhatsApp, etc?
for some reason that got downvoted, but I thought my reasoning was clear and of course reasonable. Poor vision caused by fog is different than poor vision caused by high beams, you should slow down considerably in thick fog, but coming over a hill, high beams in your eyes you probably should probably just ease up a bit.

Singapore govt had been in news with the development of TraceTogather app for COVID-19 detection and now this. Typically, governments, with all its bureaucracies, are not expected to build things efficiently and with quality, especially complex software which is hard to build even for a supercharged startup.

Well I would advise everybody to file a complaint to their local DPA. Even if you can oppose the processing, they rely on legitimate interest (doubtful their balancing act is acceptable) and they acquired the data in a legal way, they failed to inform the user of a second-hand data collection[1].

So If they have data on you, that is older than a month, and did not contacted you to inform you of it, you can file a complaint!

Thanks. I was writing that as a passport-carrying citizen of Spain, who thinks the situation is hopeless and the state can simply not be reformed from inside.

The negative reaction to my comment was a bit surprising, considering that citizens of the USA often make similar remarks about their own country, and that these remarks are seen in good light on HN. But it seems that there is a small team of Spanish nationalists around here that will not tolerate such deviations. I do not really care too much about them.

It's most likely for round-trip compatibility with another encoding. There are many Unicode codepoints that simply represent combinations of other codepoints. If you don't care about round-tripping, just normalize everything to NFKC or NFKD (the difference being that accented letters like á are one codepoint in NFKC and two codepoints for the base letter and combining mark in NFKD).

Thanks! I actually don't know the technical details myself scratches head except that we're using WordPress (please don't judge ;) - it is very handy when some members, like me, who are less tech-savvy are contributing and it everything has to happen very fast) to edit and publish content. I asked a team member who's worked more on putting together the technical components to come in here - he'll come by a bit later today. I had had some trouble submitting the thread here at HN yesterday so when I finally managed to do so it was quite late. In retrospect, it probably would've been better to wait until morning, sorry you had to wait for a reply.

And about the sleep part, hehe well I did sleep some but it was hard to quit for the day and especially to stop all homenaut ideas from bouncing around in my head when laying in bed :P
Some tips:

* Don't get discouraged. Physics is hard!

* Work on problems, and don't let yourself look at the
solutions too soon. Sometimes it takes a few days of thinking to solve a problem.

* When reading through equations, go really slow. Make sure you fully understand each step and don't let yourself skim.

Edit: +1 for the guide you linked, it looks excellent.

I really don't intend to be argumentative, but I'm not seeing at all what is hard to understand about my comment. Is it not generally accepted that Asian cultures tend to be more conformist and "harmonious"?

If it was about the "prior outbreaks" part, that commented was making a reference to the ~common belief that the superior outcome for Asian countries was solely the result of their past experiences with SARS, etc. In retrospect, I should have made that reference explicitly, apologies for that.

From the conclusion:

When we started this project, we found that Rust was more difficult to use than any other language we had used previously. Ownership and moves were foreign concepts to is, and we were constantly fighting the Rust compiler. Towards the end of the project, however, we realized that we were fighting the compiler less andless, likely due to a deeper understanding of ownership and lifetimes. Although we acknowledge that Rust has a steep learningcurve, it was almost fun to use towards the end.

Looks like a generic Rust newbie experience. I guess after a while they'll find it real fun to use.
For people outside England who are wondering what the 4 hour thing is about: (all of this is before covid-19, which is having a devastating effect on A&E)

The NHS has a waiting time target in emergency departments where 95% of patients are seen, transferred or discharged in under 4 hours.

For some time that target has not been met. In many places it was down to just 85% of patients being seen, transferred or discharged within 4 hours.

A while ago we were comfortable with that because we know a bunch of people who shouldn't be at A&E turn up there, and it's safe for them to wait.

But more recently we've seen that people who should be waiting, people at risk of harm, have had to wait longer.

If you like spreadsheets there are loads here, giving details of A&E attendance across England and with details of 4 hour waits. https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas...

For the purposes of pranking people on zoom calls, I setup a OBS / Syphon / Camtwist flow that works great for my alternative conference requirements (ranging from matrix style graphics, playing videos of me on the green screen doing things in the background, scrolling comments on the meeting on my video feed etc...).

However... it is a major MAJOR PITA to get going when I want to jump on a quick call and more than often I'm in and out of the meeting a few times because of annoying defaults or software I forgot to start. But that 1 in 10 prank feeling? Well worth the 9 false starts.

I'd love OBS to work on its own to remove a few more steps from my setup!
I believe GP is saying that if the transition to kernel extensions had happened before Little Snitch was written, then LS could never be written after that point because they wouldn't have the required leverage to get Apple to expose the API they need.

Fastest and most secure web server for your website with AWS LEMP

I grew up with the "don't use your real name on the internet" in the back of my head, this was before kids got internet safety classes.

5-10 years later, Facebook came up with their real name policy and started asking people to snitch on their friends if they used a fake name. Google, and mainly Youtube, came with a real name policy as well, on the one hand for Google+, but on the other to try and fight comment abuse - theory being people are more hesitant to be a dick on the internet if they use their real name.

But people got used to that real fast, and since there was little consequences anyway, it didn't work.

People have valid reasons to use a fake name on the internet; government and business surveillance is a big one. Abusive / stalker exes are another. Having an alternate persona (e.g. entertainers, authors) which people are trying to hide from their un-understanding or abusive family, or society at large.
I'm not entirely sure what's so shocking about public data, shared willingly by the person to the public, being used to identify the person. If the data weren't/hadn't been shared willingly, I'd definitely see that as a problem. Same thing as if the data were to have been gleaned from non-public sources e.g the person's private belongings or secured digital realms like private forums, password encrypted backups, private profiles, etc.
IMHO there is no reason to bring an unrelated GitHub issue discussion into this comment thread.
