LICEcap is great. Unfortunately I always need or want to edit the gifs afterwards.

That's where ezgif [1] comes into play. I'm usually not a fan of web apps, but ezgif works well and I never found a offline gif editor that capable. It's amazing how hard you can optimize a gif if you can live with less frames or a few artifacts.

In my country the different parts of leadership has displayed a unified front in the media and been very clear what they know and that there are unknowns that need to be learned now. If some politicians are "delegating blame" and not taking part, that's indeed a problem. Though it could be a perception problem. I've strong doubts weighted discussions across branches are not happening most sane places. Normal responsibilities during such incidents will be shifted and cease as well.
I don’t think anyone is proposing that testing is a magical cure for the overall problem; obviously you’d have to use testing in conjunction with treatment and isolation and presumably other tactics.

However, this idea that testing is worthless is frankly bizarre. You can’t control what you can’t measure, and “number of people occupying hospital beds” is a very poor measure for a disease that spreads silently for weeks before symptoms emerge.

The next coronavirus crisis will be a shortage of doctors and nurses
My biggest concern is that we aren't working on the infrastructure and cultural shift that is going to be needed to have a return to normal.

The endgame of covid-19 is herd immunity, which requires either 30-60% of the population infected and recovered, or it requires a vaccine. Realistically both are probably 9+ months out: vaccines are slow to develop, and almost every governor has proven they'd rather shut down everything than see hospitals be overloaded.

In other words, for the next 6-12 months we have two choices:

(a) Public life sees a boom-bust pattern of sickness, where we open things back up, then a new outbreak of infection happens, and everything shuts down again for 2-6 weeks.

(b) We aggressively fight off our initial outbreak, then build infrastructure to quickly identify and contain all infections. We gently reopen life back to a kind-of-normal states of permanent semi-quarantine until a vaccine arrives.

In my opinion, (b) is clearly the optimal approach. And yet we haven't even begun working on the infrastructural and cultural changes needed to support pre-herd-immunity public life.

We need mass production of face masks and a culture where it is unacceptable to not wear a face mask in public, particularly crowded locations and public transit.

We need every building, every bus and train, every tourist attraction, testing every visitor with a contactless thermometer. If you have a fever you get a covid-19 test.

To support allowing non-remote-capable work to resume, any jobs that are remote capable should remain remote until we have herd immunity. More people leaving their homes means higher risk of an outbreak, and when an outbreak happens non-remote-capable employees are the ones screwed over.

As much as I distrust the CCP and China's official numbers, it just takes one glance on the measures being taken in China to prove that China is a thousand times more serious about containing this virus than we are, and that's going to play in their favor in getting things back to normal. Here's an eye-opening video on some of the steps Nanjing has taken to prevent an outbreak:

The simple fact is we're lacking the national leadership to make an effective response to this disease.
Weird memory but my depression era great Grandma (matrilineal side all had kids at like 18) was teaching me a "depression soup" recipe. The first thing she had me do was peel the potatoes. All I could think was "this is the best part of the potato... We are literally throwing food away right now."

I think lots of experiences like this with her led to me quite unfairly latching onto the "ok boomer" ageist wave. Time and Time again she would do things that would make me wonder "wtf did your generation learn from all the lessons you went through..."
But you can’t know what is in another person’s head.
Open Source Against Covid-19
I wrote this yesterday but it remains true:

I know a lot of doctors and some other healthcare workers. This question isn't getting enough play in the media, particularly because many hospitals aren't doing enough to protect workers. I know a resident whose program director ordered her to keep working even though she has COVID-19 symptoms, including dry cough and loss of taste, but she can't get tested for COVID-19, so she's continuing to work because she's afraid of what will happen if she doesn't. Other doctors are bringing their own personal protection equipment (PPE) into work and horror stories about hospital administrators ordering them to remove unapproved PPE are being spread through Facebook groups.

And that's separate from simple incompetence, like not getting tents set up, not separating respiratory distress patients from other patients, and so on. Healthcare workers are not only putting themselves at risk, but also their families and patients.
AIUI, they could get a good impression pretty quickly, but if you're publishing, you want to be _sure_.

Actually getting permission to do the required testing also probably took a while.

The biggest risk stated in 2008 was contagion to "main street" economy, which did eventually occur to some degree.

This virus and fallout went directly to the main street economy (of the entire world at same time) and stopped it cold.

I think its entirely unknown what the ultimate ramifications are of this cold stop to the world economy. But I see no reason to think its not bigger than 2008.

For the record, I am neither trying to promote nor dissuade. I'm just trying to avoid stepping in a giant pile of doo doo at a time when nuance is lost on a lot of people, many of whom are understandably very upset and stressed out because the world has very suddenly gone to hell in a hand basket in their eyes.

Personally, I don't think it has gone to hell in a hand basket, but that's not a point of view that most people will welcome. I continue to struggle with how to express myself in the face of the current climate.

You had targeted advertising before the internet, it's simply less targeted and less granular, with more wastage.

A quick example: if you wanted to reach health care works, or more precisely doctors, you'd advertising on magazines for health care professionals. Most of which were subscribed (name, birthday, profession, address, etc) - so you had already some data for some targeting.

> in reality has been used for much worse, according to the article: proliferation of hateful and false content on social media & political manipulation, among others.

This is where advertising is getting mixed with propaganda - those are very different things and the only cross section is that they are messages that use text, audio, images, video - in others words - they are distributed with audiovisual media. They have different legal obligations (depending on the country).

What is lacking is regulation and fines for abuse of propaganda. The problem is that the sheer volume of content being produced is hard to regulate.

Both ML and Smalltalk are definitely not dead, not even mostly dead, they’ve just evolved into language families whose members have different names. The ML family has Standard ML, OCaml, and Haskell, and the Smalltalk family has Pharo, GemStone, GNU Smalltalk, and others. These all may not have hugely wide adoption, but they are actively used in both academia and industry, and continue to grow and evolve, and their continued evolution is still influencing other languages.

Ok, you can argue about the definition of "mostly dead", but whatever you decide these two just aren't in the same category as the others on this list.
This is a good point that Hacker News aren't generally aware of (judging by the number of comments about it, it's good to know I'm not alone). I'm not sure why it was flagged.
True. Maybe something like chickens or pigs could be an animal vector. Then a very minor mutation could make it infectious to humans.

Being a sole proprietor / contractor right now feels hopeless. Nobody is spending money with me right now, projects on hold, no possible way of filing for unemployment. It's worrisome.

Thankfully my wife is still working - but she's an administrator at a Nursing Home and people there are starting to get tested - and she's panicking. They are days from having no nurses. She's worried about cleaning crews being sick. She's worried about bringing it home. Luckily they have a stockpile of supplies, BUT THIS WHOLE THING IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP!

The problem is that the tests of their employees are taking UP TO 10 DAYS to come back. They are sending home nurses for this long just to wait and see if they are all going to be exposed, their residents too.

Anyone in their facility who may be sick is being sent home for 14 days. There will be nobody left to take care of the elderly, who may also get sick.

People are worried about dying themselves, or the people they care for dying.

I'm confident we are 10 days from hearing about Nursing Homes and Nurses in Nursing Homes everywhere getting sick and dying in massive numbers.
Apple iOS users served mobile malware in Poisoned News campaign
Most businesses do not have capacity to pay workers and rather than hold out, some are terminating immediately so their employees can claim unemployment benefits. I know for example of Dental offices (which in Texas are mandated closed until April 21st I believe) are doing this, but have every intention of re-hiring the same staff the moment they are allowed to re-open. I'm not sure this is the typical case, but its certainly a subset.

There are 2 policy options I see moving forward:

Private: Forced GAAP accounting for 2-4 weeks of sick leave for all employees (including gig contractors)

These would be paramount to national security; so could potentially receive backing loans or even the defense budget.

I had to do a temporary move, and ended up in the only rural county in NC with county-wide municipal fiber. It's working great, FWIW. I'm hopeful this situation will finally prove to the rest of the state that rural fiber is a worthwhile thing to do at scale. I've seen people argue it's not worth it b/c it doesn't attract enough jobs to pay for itself, but the additional network resiliency and quality of living improvements alone are worth it. Especially in times like this. If Wilkes County can do it, so can others.
