Hand sanitizer with alcohol is one such product that does not exist in Swedish stores. There is gels and other similar products that evaporate but they do not actually include any alcohol.

I remember many years ago that there was a campaign to inform the public of this fact as people still continued for a while to ingest those products under the idea that they still had alcohol in them. Many products also had for a while big lables that said "No alcohol". As far as I know the regulation has been quite a success.
What's the answer then?
It's too bad people don't realize you should take medical advice from medical professionals instead of politicians.

Sure, and perhaps there's a reasonable argument to be made there vis a vis the president's comments here (though I still think it's overblown). But from my read, some people are implying* that the president _literally_ recommended that people obtain this thing without a doctor's advice. And that's what I'm replying to. I don't think it's irrelevant, it's rather divorced from reality.

You draw to a DirectX surface rather than the raw frame buffer but it is by no means translated to D2D. D2D has a "GDI" emulation mode, but it's more than worthless if you care about rendering fidelity with the real thing - and you probably do if your still on GDI these days.
A crashed economy is not the end of the world.

We'll live, for the most part. There will be ups and downs and yes some people will suffer and die from the economy.

It was a shit economy anyway, unless you were one of the lucky ones. Most people had a stressful, shitty time of it.

In comparison, a few % of the entire population of Earth dying unnecessarily because the hospitals couldn't treat them all at once seems a much bigger deal. How about we get excited about preventing that. That seems like Something Worth Doing.

> We should be allowed to not only ask these questions but discuss them.

Yes of course, and people are. But surely it is fairly obvious that we have a fast time-based emergency in progress, and also one that is most effectively controlled by a coordinated response; both rule out having drawn-out big social discussions and debates before starting to act.

There may be a major econonomic depression, numerically larger than the Great Depression in statistics. Technically. There will also be quite a lot of economic hardship caused by the deaths and disability caused. But much less of that than if the draconian quarantine measures were not done!

I for one do not believe it will last the way the Great Depression did, even if it proves technically larger in numbers. Because we are witnessing one of the greatest mass cooperation and social transformation events in human history right now, worldwide too, in the fight against the new disease. I'm talking about the cooperation and volunteerismm, and that very rare spirit that comes from humans all over the world realising we're fighting the same thing for once. I believe we will carry that spirit on in the economic aftermath and will rebuild in remarkable ways, very different from the 1930s. I hope to live through the pandemic to see the transformation that follows, and to help make it happen.
In case you have been reading a different post, there are innumerable people who are totally confident chloroquine works for COVID-19 and that sufficient evidence already exists. Such as you, a few posts higher in this chain.

That view is “insane”, or at least strongly misinformed and medically/scientifically illiterate.

In fact, there is no strong evidence that supports this and substantial prior evidence that contradicts it.

Unfortunately, this belief leads to bad outcomes, such as people literally dying, as is the case here.

There doesn't appear to be a share-window/share-screen option which feels like that makes this a non-starter for a lot of work-related applications.
I work in a field related to mechanical, electrical engineering and firmware, and I not only think it’s definitely worth the effort to dual boot (I only use Windows for SolidWorks and some other instrumentation programs), I think it’s completely necessary for the more firmware-y parts of my job. Setting up an embedded firmware development environment where you have a decent level of control (so vendor-supplied IDEs are out) is about as annoying as setting up dual boot in the first place, with the obvious benefit that you get a proper UNIX-like system which in my experience increases my productivity. Also using a tiling WM is kind of a must for me when programming and cross-referencing various documents.

Edit: the part about how annoying it is to set up an embedded dev environment may not be true anymore with Windows 10’s WSL (I haven’t tried it)
Alternately, that (legally-mandated?) warning is there because a non-negligable portion of the population needs regular reminders that more isn't always better.
Looks pretty nice. A pity there's no option for the 6-core Comet Lake CPU (10710U). I assume the 40GB RAM limit is from 8GB soldered on, plus 2 slots. 16GB soldered would have been great too.

I wonder how Linux's support for USB-C docking stations is these days.
The home page looks like it was designed by a 20 year old who lives in a world of Javascript package managers.

Get someone over 50 in there to kick them and remind them that "Start a new meeting" with things like "LeopardBottomSniffer" appearing under it means nothing to anyone but developers.

Here's a better design, in text:

- Who are we? This is Jitsi Meet video conferencing
- How do I use it? Just type a name for your meeting in the box and get started, you'll be able to share from there.

The old line about "can someone's granny use?" this comes to mind. If I seem annoyed, I am, we need successful competitors to things like Zoom and Google but that means getting non-developers to use them.
if we are in this by fall, it will be moot because people will run out of money to pay for their internet. Not many people can stay out of work for 4+ months.

> Elementary and High schools are somewhat better in that kids go their own homes at night.

Isn't it the other way round? For containing the spread of the virus, it's better to have the students mixing the same closed group 24 hours a day, than to spend 12 hours back with their families or other communities.
They were able to take a more nuanced and targeted approach because they got their testing infrastructure in place very quickly and made tests widely available. That way, they were able to quickly figure out who had the virus and needed to be quarantined.

The USA, in stark contrast, had a gutted CDC (thanks to the hard work of the GOP to shrink the government), an abolished White House Pandemic Response office (used to be part of the national security group), and a President who first ignored and then downplayed repeated warnings from his own country's Intelligence Community because he thought it was a "hoax".

That is why the time for "nuanced" approaches is past, and drastic actions are needed. You can check this website for some sobering charts: https://covidactnow.org/

Regarding the economy, tell me this: do you seriously think our economy can handle millions of deaths within the span of several months?

|it has already been used widely and approved for malaria treatment after going through safety trials a long while ago

This doesn't mean it's safe to take, it just means that taking it as prescribed is believed to lead to better outcomes than trying to survive Malaria without taking it.

There's any number of things that chemotherapy or radiation might help with, but unless it is terminal cancer, chances are you are better off without those treatments.

In medical terms, 'safe' is almost always relative. Tylenol is 'safe', and yet it kills many people every year.
That's what I said: if I am endangered, it is up to ME to remove the danger. Which, until there is a vaccine for the virus, means to remove all potential carriers from my surroundings.
And don't start me on car drivers; there are accidents, and there are people willingly driving while intoxicated. The later should be shot on sight.

My first impressions on Half-Life: Alyx
I've tried Jitsi Meet and found it to be smooth. During a hangout call with a group of ~8 friends I introduced it as an alternative. User experience comparison:

Onboarding:
Jitsi: Click a URL. No accounts.
Hangouts: Google account. Need to individually invite other Google accounts.

Video Quality:
Jitsi: Decent, slightly better than hangouts.
Hangouts: Passable but grainy.

Video Layout:
Jitsi: Automatically big-screens current speaker, shows small screens of others. Has option to tile to equally size screens.
Hangouts: Same.

Conclusion: Friends preferred Hangouts.

It's quite disheartening that "average users" shun 1 click URL room creation with superior video and audio quality for manually adding contacts. And that's without any considerations for free software vs. Google panopticon. They would rather tolerate a multi-step process of sharing gmail accounts, asking the same person for their email repeatedly.
No one. They are adding emphasis.
there is. Used it today. I deployed it last night on a do droplet and ran some tests with co-workers today.
We are using it intensely at my company and after some server upgrades it is working very well.
I found that it had some issues with people connecting via the web clients. Is there a way to mitigate that or is that just expected with the software?
I came across Jitsi just the other day, and I was so particularly impressed because it's OSS and does have a screen sharing function.
I have lost track of the point of this conversation.

For those wondering if the people minimizing this disease as nothing more than a weaker influenza are correct, here's some data from new york's hospitals: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-19-s...

Visits to emergency for Influenza-likeIllness+Pneumonia is at ~1.5x a bad flu season's peak and ~4x a normal flu season. Admissions for the same are at ~2-3x.
It works. I hosted a meetup Friday night using it for the jackbox games.
How well does Jitsi scale? Can it handle a group of say 15 or so participants on a variety of devices?
The side effects are awful.
To be fair, I agree the expected case to death rate is less than one percent normally. The questions this leads to, is why it is higher on Italy? Either in reach of infection, or in deaths?

This article implies their infection to death rate was already elevated for the flu. Most accept this is, at best, a deadly flu. That would strengthen this hypothesis.

But your hypothesis seems to be there are more infected in Italy than elsewhere. But you then have to explain why it did more there.

If we have infection to death rates in all countries, that would let us predict if the first hypothesis is true. To test yours? What can we do?
It's a feeling, so not easily rationalizable... I wonder if it has anything to do with being "Gypped" (), but for me even outside of that connotation, the word evokes negative feeling.

() Interestingly, I too have for the first time looked up the etymology and feel uncomfortable; I think because I've only ever heard it before, and assumed it was spelled differently like "Jipped" or something

You can tie anything into the Web PKI if that's really what you want to do, but that's besides the point.

The point is that Zoom doesn't need to know these keys. Yes, if there's no assurance that you're really talking to Alice and she's really talking to you Zoom could sit in the middle of some or all conversations - but right now they are in the middle of those conversations.

It doesn't change what is theoretically possible, but it changes the posture - what is easy to do, and why.

If you really don't like the uncertainty of a MITM being possible even if unlikely - you'd need Signal, or something like Signal's protocol which lets you compare your shared secrets to determine if there's really nobody in the middle.

It’s obviously nuts to take medical advice from Donald Trump. However, some people will do it, which makes it irresponsible to give such advice, even obliquely.
hanspedah, people believe 5% is the death rate that occurs if medical services are not available (and would thus be much higher than the death rate if medical services are available).
And if there is no mitigation, the vast majority of people that would need medical care wouldn't be able to get it.
No more dsls without tooling to work with them at least.
this is true, but a lot of resources put into a new team that was completely walled off from the rest of the company, in terms of roadmaps and eng culture, could overcome this problem.

I think someone at Amazon in the mid-2000s would not have necessarily looked at their internal stack vs. other companies and picked them to become the breakout cloud winner, but when I was there (late 2000s), the AWS team was kept quite separate, and aside from things like S3 the retail side of the company wasn't really using much in the way of AWS infrastructure yet.

> . Second, we are (somewhat) allowing production of goods to continue, while shutting down customer-facing (ie service) workers. So I suspect the effects will be limited.

So people will still have the extra money left over thats not being spent on 'customer facing services' what will happen to that money ?

> Second, we'll soon have serologic tests; those folks can just work

I am assuming after 6 months like your original comment implied ?

Unfortunately not,

> Hangouts: Google account. Need to individually invite other Google accounts.

Hangouts (now Meet) is better geared towards GSuite orgs where you're already logged into Google since you have to be to access almost all of your other internal company/school resources, including gmail. It also solves the contacts problem since everyone will be in the company directory.
Even as someone who has vulnerable dependents and has been following the situation closely, I agree that complete lockdown is unsustainable for much longer.

I agree with these recommendations. I would also add that increasing the capacity of the hospital system to deal with additional load (i.e. increased production of ventilators, therapy drugs, etc.) is also necessary.

On the positive side, from what I can tell, many of these things are already happening.

I think lockdown procedures (i.e. broad stay-at-home orders, etc.) are absolutely necessary as a stop-gap measure to slow the spread of the disease. But slowing the spread is not the endgame. The point of slowing is so that we have time to plan the endgame, and to ramp up the other countermeasures.

Can firewall punching work without proxying all traffic over the server?
Thanks! I wasn't aware of the German approach.

It would be very heartening if the German strategy works.

And I really like the way Germany remains consistently conscious of personal values, things like rejecting mass surveillance and looking for another way. It's one of the things I like best about Germany.

But it really depends how people behave next.

In the UK, the government has announcement a bigger lockdown with strong rules and enforcement, because at the weekend masses of people were simply ignoring requests to socially distance. Too many people were using the "time off" to go on holidays and cluster in high density situations, completely ignoring all health advice for the protection of themselves and others.

The German approach of "you're free to go around, but don't meet with more than one person" will only work if people actually comply.
