Well the scary for a newbie part I can agree with! So that one slight criticism didn’t lead to that essay.

It’s was the other stuff: “very specific sequence detailed in the manual” which got me, because the wording is so amped up and over dramatized. I mean I almost mentioned “JFC” myself before you did, but explained it instead. You can’t please everyone though.

I think it’s interesting how Tesla has addressed all the different UX challenges of the car. Fascinating really. I know UX people and they have my utmost respect because they often solve problems like this one in such effective ways.
On a first glance, it does look like a simpler version of Rust, and I say it without demeaning Zig. Looks very promising, I'll be keeping an eye for it.

Sterilize? Sure. But after it the mask won’t be able to filter on N95 level.
If we're talking SMBs: That's rarely possible in a small business, especially where costs are high and margins too thin. Business interruption insurance (with often mandatory flood insurance) is supposed to handle that, but it's an added cost and may have exclusions that make it pointless.

For landlords, BII may or may not be worth it.

EDIT: BII doesn't cover unlisted force majeure incidents, so most tenants and landlords are hooped. The only entity with enough money and power to make people whole is Congress. They can buy a few less F-35's and nukes, and help the people on the home front.
There is a metal clip on the respirator for fitting.
OK then, I get it. Please don't take it as a personal attack. I was trying to explicitly point out that there are scenarios that make it very hard (2 jobs as an example) and I was picking on the "can't be bothered" attitude, which obviously isn't your case.

Personal comment. That's really rough, and make me feel pretty damn privileged. Kudos to you for putting in the extremely hard work!

Probably because there is a shortage of tests, so they want to save the tests for people who are most likely to have contracted the virus.

Can you design a test for this virus that scales out to over a million people in two months? If so, you should start working on that.
See the full Ford press release for more information: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2020...

There are apparently plans in motion to work with GE Healthcare on "simplified" ventilators (under the guidance and direction of GE Healthcare). These ventilators will be produced at some Ford and GE Healthcare facilities.

This is in addition to respirators and face shields.
What makes it very likely that the US will not see a situation similar to the one in Italy is the following:

* Lower amount of population with High blood pressure.
* Lower median age.
* Not having the same one big family model as in Italy.
* Seeing how bad it can get in Italy and having a better response as a result.

It will still get quite bad in the US, but not like in Italy due to the above factors.
Interesting. I have had my V10 for about 16 months and, short-battery life aside, it has been flawless. I also have a bagged Miele and the Dyson vacuums circles around it, extracting far more dirt from carpeting. Night and day difference. I will say the general build quality of the Miele seems superior in the classic sense but I think I'd have to use it 5X as much as the Dyson for the same results.
Slide 5 says it's fine.

I'd doubt it's sterilized though. Fungal spores will survive this process. But it'll kill viruses: high heat is often good enough.

Keep in mind that N95 is made from polypropylene, which is an autoclavable plastic.

Sterilization is overkill anyway: N95s aren't sterilized from the factory in the first place.
I doubt you'd want what is essentially medical waste burning off inside a commercial food oven.

Under CCPA, You Might Be Selling Personal Information (Part 1)
To be fair, a lot of these companies trying to switch manufacturing to help with the COVID-19 epidemic are hamstrung by the same intellectual and copyright laws they normally would.

The only two sane approaches would be that copyright owners provide temporary, free licenses to other manufacturers (heck, even make the government pay a royalty for each unit) or the government to force the companies to provide the designs.

Neither option would be favored by either UK or US right now, because the cult of free enterprise is more important than human loss.
There is no real consensus regarding IFR yet. I think the best data we have is from Diamond Princess, which is at least 10/712 or ~1.4% and may go up a bit from unresolved 15 serious/critical cases and 100 more active cases. The population there is older, but also have good care.

If the Diamond Princess age group represents just 20% of a population (they are not all elderly), population IFR must be >= 1.4%/5 = 0.28% and likely higher. 0.28% is above the IFR upper range from the paper in your comment.

Not an expert, but I'd be wary of using a microwave at least for the plastic type filters. If the plastic filter fibers absorb microwaves, it might turn out that the smaller fibers get melted without affecting the bulk structure enough to easily notice.

A steamer on a stove seems like a safer bet.

You can't turn off and on the economy like a switch.

Actually, you can. Money transactions can be suspended and goods can be distributed directly.

If banks fail, we have another financial crisis. The last one took a decade to recover from.

People have implicit or explicit reactions to things. Not trying to down play your experience here (your experience is still valid), but they probably are not intentionally thinking or making a face. It's probably because this is new to them and not something they usually experience, so they do a double take and end up with a stare. I've done this will people wearing gloves recently, even though after 2 seconds of thinking about it I know there's rationale behind it.

Try not to presume people are so quick to judge, rather that people are just feeling whatever they feel instinctively, and it is what it is. They probably don't even know why they feel what they do, it's just bad intuition not ignorance.
Indeed. But we recommend printing medical PPE out of PETG instead, due to its imperviousness to alcohol and bleach (for cleansing). twitter @masksfordocs

And yes, the wounds people face with even professional PPE are harsh. These medical first responders are wearing it 16h days..
As opposed to peoples’ home ovens?

So where is the accountability, then? Does it fall on whatever % of owners who are active investors? Or are they shielded by the fact that there's a mutual fund present who pledges to simply vote with the board on every decision?

Doesn't saying that these are people's retirement savings and so structurally should only ever be allowed to go up in value create perverse incentives and remove all of the responsibility from.. everyone involved?

Shareholders benefited massively and accumulated huge rewards from the market leveraging up during the borrow-for-buybacks period, and now in a downturn we're throwing our hands up and saying that we can't let those companies face any negative consequences for taking on that risk because nobody was in control? Or some people were in control, but there were also some who weren't?

Something is missing here if a company having passive shareholders means it should do well, business-practices-be-damned.
Pensions and institutions people need to survive get a bailout. Speculators lose their shirts.

Thank You Note
idk about the newer designs. I'm using a roughly 8 year old DC39 and it has been to the repair center multiple times for replacement motors and other parts. The plastic attachments are failing now so I'm not sure how much longer this vac will last.
~15 years ago my "daily driver" had 256MB of RAM and it was perfectly usable for development (native, none of this new bloated web stuff) as well as lots of multitasking. There was rarely a time when I ran out of RAM or had the CPU at full usage for extended periods.

Now it seems even the most trivial of apps needs more than that just to start running, and on a workstation, less than a year old with 4 cores of i7 and 32GB of RAM, I still experience lots of lag and swapping (fast SSD helps, althougn not much) doing simple things like reading an email.
Americans live in relatively huge houses, with tons of stuff that we don't need, use, or even get any sentimental value out of. I'm not saying we need to transform into Japan - it was truly nice to be able to visit wealthier family and their big houses with their "fk you" foyers and finished basements bigger than any apartment I've ever lived in - but the average American nuclear family does not need more then 2000 square feet (if that), day-to-day. Once you eliminate speculation on grandiose properties - which in turn drives up the prices of your given McMansion or SF bungalow - maybe you can figure out a way to provide everyone with decent, dignified housing that's appropriate for their family size and lifestyle. People like to say that the economy isn't zero sum, nosiree, but it's mighty suspicious how much homelessness rises in cities where apartments go for 7 figures cash, or $3k+ a month in rent.
That doesn't necessarily follow.

I assume the term "need a ventilator" does not mean they have 100% chance of dying without a ventilator. Very few things in life are 100% certain. I imagine its more like, you have a 90% chance of dying without this, and a 10% chance of living (Numbers totally made up).

Its also not the case that a faulty ventilator might be worth 80% of a real ventilator. It may very well be 0%, it might be -20%. If the ventilator is worthless, well there are some strong ethical conundrums of selling worthless cures to desperate people who will pay anything for the slightest hope of surviving. But that's if its worthless, its entirely imaginable that a faulty one reduces patients chances relative to no ventilator. Doing nothing and letting the body do its best, might have better outcomes then doing some sort of medical intervention incorrectly.
But that would invalidate the old signed commits, wouldn't it?
Deaths per capita will be most important at the end of the pandemic. Right now you're better off looking at case-fatality-rate, day over day rate of new cases, and the current number of cases.

Right now the US is at 52K cases and ~650 deaths. That is ~1% fatal, but that can decrease by more testing or increase because it takes time to die. Currently 0.01% of the US has tested positive and 0.0002% of the US has died. The worry is that those numbers double every 2-3 days and will cause an unprecedented spike in the number of hospitalizations.

You can try predicting the number of deaths by looking at a semilog plot: https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest
The pressure of the water on your bag might deform the mask though.
No, SARS-CoV-2 is thought to have a half-life of about 72 hours on some surfaces but some virus particles can survive much longer.

(edit: that's not right, the half life is shorter with the virus still infectious on a surface for 72 hours or so)

No, but every time a black character is drawn as a racist caricature with giant lips and a bone in their hair, it's a racist caricature which was systematically used in the US and other countries to hurtfully mock black people. There's a long history of such racist stereotypes in American and European culture. It's not benign.

There are other ways to draw black people in comic books that doesn't have to rely on hurtful stereotypes.
For a lot of things, yes, but NLTK still has a much bigger and better variety of tokenizers.

I understand emergency response by responders who are trained, but in this case there isn't a power emergency, the emergency is to protect the people who work the shifts in the power plant from getting each other sick in a pandemic, and off duty too.

I'm not saying that there is any incompetence or shortage of can-do, just seems like something that there may not have been much practicing for. I mean, the way you usually go into high gear might be optimum for spreading the virus, for example.
A $50 electric oven is probably enough for a few hospitals. No need to go searching it.

If it needs hot water you can always split off of the sink that is undoubtedly next to it.

But most bidets that do warm water do not use a hot supply, because it takes too long to heat up. Most use a tank or tankless in the seat, and just need a normal 120v plug.
It's a half-life thing. If your equipment is sufficiently sensitive, you could find remaining virus for a long time. Especially if the conditions are right.

What if people have paid for that bandwidth though, dedicated lines, just not so massively oversubscribed or similar.

Whatever you can get parts for, I suppose.

We chose parts you can get from Home Depot and Amazon/Ebay only, except for the PCB, which you will be able to make with hand-soldered components.

Also: make sure you choose a design where it is not possible to over-pressure the lungs. Even so much as 1.5PSI can damage them permanently. As well, the design must never allow the pressure to drop below about 300 pascals (above STP), or the patient will eventually suffocate due to alveoli collapsing.

> Maybe in a couple of years, knzhou's opinions will sour

Is his opinion "allowed" to sour (publicly) until he is a Tenured professor? I am genuinely asking as I believe the incentives of academia have become in some ways (and perhaps in many) entirely anti-science. It feels more like students are filtered for higher positions within a large religion e.g., Catholicism. And we really should not be surprised by this phenomenon because game theory tells us there are tendencies of these dynamic systems to evolve towards similar outcomes/structures. So, science becoming more socially popular over the last 100-200 years and people behaving religiously around it (with the similarity being between the structuring of a religion and modern academia) seems inevitable and actually needs to be proactively addressed and corrected.

I like Bill Gates but I find it a little distasteful to see extremely rich people who will not be affected in any way by the economic fallout of this telling everyone else that we need to sacrifice the economy because it's the right thing to do. For the majority of people who will have to pay that price and go through a recession that could be the worst ever with nothing left, what's right isn't necessarily the same. We are facing the prospects of a second great depression, and I personally don't want my generation to become the second Lost Generation. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have put in place the containment/lock down measures, but that it is absolutely necessary to keep the economy in mind. my concern is more about how long we can keep this up. What price is too much? And do current leaders really have the younger generations in mind?

Concurrency primitives and immutable data structures are part of the core language. This is probably more interesting than the lisp part itself, which is kind of a bonus. Rich Hickey's talks stress the former aspects a lot more than the later.
Right. People like to think of things like 'sick' and 'healthy' but maybe it's more subtle than that. Things aren't 'clean' or 'dirty' w COVID, but somewhere on a long spectrum.
Has no one tested putting it in a plastic bag and boiling it? At the very least they ought to explain why that's a bad idea if it is, because I can't be the only one to think that's the obvious solution.

This has been on my mind lately due to twitter bubbling with anti-corporate bailout sentiment.

A friend (Hi, Ian!) shared the link and said:

we have gotten so used to people abusing what is right in favour of what is "legal" around tax, we are now going to face the same problem around government help and subsidies. For instance should the govt help-out a landlord that has no savings vs a landlord that has extensive savings or equity? Why should the people that planned for a rainy day be punished literally or relatively?

I hope he gets around to writing the article about it. Does anyone have something along these lines to share?
It can operate from any air source, we're using a free piston hydroponics compressor which is available from eBay/amazon vendors for $100. I have used these compressors for years with no reliability issues.

We will be using an Arduino uno because they are so easily available, no wifi or bluetooth, last thing I'd want people to deal with is bluetooth bugs in a situation like this...

The solenoids I have tried (many) are too restrictive for air flow, and after some minutes I felt suffocated when using them. Most solenoid valves don't have orfices greater than 2.5mm, and we found even 4mm was not enough.

It will be open source, yes.
