Plus most people still go to work when sick. They will just dose up on whatever drugs they have to hide the symptoms and make them feel better, then go to work anyway. Even here in Europe where the government pays sick leave that happens.

Would this apply to pretty much all countries? Especially "testing is reserved for living patients"? A lot of countries are struggling to test enough living people.
Yep, the fundamental problem is that the antibody test only triggers positive well after you would already be infectious probably for days, and most likely symptomatic already at least. So it can't curtail the outbreak, though as others are pointing out it can be very useful to clear people after they are infected.

I learned mips in a college class and quite enjoyed it. How does mips compare to C64 asm? I don't know any other asm besides mips (unless zachtronics games count) and but have been playing around with the idea of writing a simple asm OS. Would C64 asm be a good choice? I've also heard that m68k asm is nice. How do the three compare?

> especially when you look at some of the governments Sanders has praised over his career.

Can you be more specific here?

I mean, there can be praise for some governments without saying we advocate for everything they do. It's possible for instance to praise Cuba for health care outcomes without wanting to become Fidel Castro. There are also some ridiculous insinuations that Sanders is some kind of Chavista, which to me is a bit of a flag that someone isn't serious about their anti-Sanders discussion. I would say he advocates for more of a European type of safety net.

> No need for the government to seize the means of production

I do not believe Sanders proposes that.
> Once you're recovered, you can no longer spread the disease.

This is a super dangerous statement and absent proof you should probably retract it. There are plenty of viruses that you still shed even after recovery, there is some evidence already that COVID-19 is still contagious after recovery with an unknown for the duration, it could be hours, days or even weeks, without a very good test regime it is very hard to put a safe boundary on this.
I wonder how much of that revenue/usage is sticky? E.g. how much use will decline once people are back to work.
Great question! You are referring to ECMO. The main limitations of ECMO come from the serious complications that can occur, which can include life-threatening bleeding, blood clots, infections, strokes, and brain damage. The number of hospitals in the US offering ECMO is in the low hundreds. It takes an experienced team to use it safely, and if used in the wrong patients, it can artificially prolong suffering rather than saving a life. However, it is still an amazing technology for some patients.
Well, for one, I recently heard a podcast from a guy named Charles Marohn, he runs this organization called Strong Towns, and wrote a book by the same title. I haven't read it yet but I think he's onto something. His thesis is we need to do a bottom up rebuild of America, not a top down one. It's all about advocacy for a return to localism as a way to solve America's problems.

This is off their website:

The Strong Towns approach is a radically new way of thinking about the way we build our world. We believe that in order to truly thrive, our cities and towns must:

- Stop valuing efficiency and start valuing resilience;

- Stop betting our futures on huge, irreversible projects, and start taking small, incremental steps and iterating based on what we learn;

- Stop fearing change and start embracing a process of continuous adaptation;

- Stop building our world based on abstract theories, and start building it based on how our places actually work and what our neighbors actually need today;

- Stop obsessing about future growth and start obsessing about our current finances.

Otherwise, as an individual, I think it's about maybe insulating yourself from the impacts from what you can't control. I recently thought about growing my own vegetables, building a home hydroponics system. Had me thinking too about investing in solar power. I think the idea of teaching resilience is a better way to go, because we clearly have a way too fragile system that is susceptible to forces we can't control. As individuals it's up to us to build communities of people at the more localized level to create the world we want.

Is Twitter really a PWA or just a nicely done responsive website? At this point the boundary is a unclear.

Beside Twitter rely on server side storage and pretty much only store session token in the PWA "local storage" (largely speaking).

And as a user I rather installed iOS native App to keep finer grained control on permissions. (I also use multi accounts not sure the PWA Handel that?)
I've been tracking my sleep quality via a DIY setup. I.e. an ESP32 plus two mattress movement monitoring pads.

Each night I start the ESP32 recording the movement data from the 2 pads that are under the mattress. The ESP32 has ADCs to collect the analog measurements and sends the movement data to a debian based SQLite db wirelessly every minute.

When I wake up, I register my perceived sleep quality (from 0 to 5).

I've been gathering the data for several months and plan to run it through ML/scipy to see what insights I can glean.

The setup is very cheap - the mattress pads can be obtained for next to nothing at thrift stores.
This feels somewhat sensationalist given the lack of evidence (other than hearsay).

Yes, that is more like the breakthrough we need. The problem I guess is that anything new like that is a huge long way from being readily scaled up, mass produced and distributed at the level necessary. Still, it's not out of the question which is why its particularly frustrating to see hundreds of rapid test articles pop up but no way to differentiate the ones that would really make a difference.
The corollary is also true: more people are not dying of Covid-19 than we know.

For me, from a government system perspective, it depends wholly on whether or not a state of emergency has been declared. There are things that governments can do that they normally should not do. However, there are things that a government really should do in certain emergencies. Tracking individuals during a pandemic is one of those things. Curtailing the freedom to assemble is another one of those things. It should take an act of parliament (or the equivalent) and it should be temporary (with possible extensions).

Of course, the ironic this is that in 1984, "We have always been at war with Eurasia". That is the thing that legitimises the draconian measures. This is what Orwell warns about. However, I think it is important to understand that there is a big difference between creating an excuse for extrordinary measures and actually dealing with an emergency. It is critically important that we allow the latter while resisting the former. The difficulty is that this kind of action requires a nuanced response and large numbers of people put together often have difficulty with nuance.

P.S. I'm talking in general and not commenting directly on the fine article.

I haven't done any MIPS assembly. But 6502 assembly is very simple. The only tricky bit is the instruction set is very non orthogonal. m68k though is very cleanly octagonal.
Eh, I don’t buy that reasoning. JavaScript is excellent at encapsulation, since you can just use closures. Never had a problem manipulating quaternions in JavaScript. I’ve written a few 3D games in JavaScript or TypeScript. Some using engines like Three.js, others using bare WebGL, and some using math libraries like glMatrix, others using math routines that I wrote.

glMatrix is a fine way to work with quaternions.

At least here in the states I have a hard time believing that we could have a significant spike in deaths that are missed entirely. But maybe it's possible that a death would be noticed and reported and handled through the proper channels, but that the count of the death itself would just get missed. And that we wouldn't notice until we compared deaths to population counts or something.

Here's another interesting way it could be masked. Perhaps flu deaths are decreasing substantially, but unnoticed covid deaths are being recorded as flu deaths to make up the gap - we wouldn't notice the spike because it would just be an absence of a dip. Maybe that wouldn't get noticed until our flu seasons in future years are weirdly muted.

Don't confuse the conference center for the conferences inside. The conferences can make money (though they often don't) while the center loses money. Either because they can't book enough, or because there is enough competition that you have to lower prices.

Remember that there are only so many businesses (including non-profits) in town that want to rent the place. When people are coming from out of town what difference does the town make? Thus it is hard to fill your conference center.

The Fitbit looks pretty close. I don't think it's perfect, but it's directionally correct.

I feel like for a lot of self improvement frameworks it's about direction not accuracy. Like for example, body fat % machines vary greatly, but surely being closer to the 10-20% range is better than 30-40% range regardless of the method you use. Probably the same can be said for sleep.

Sure, but the injection molding conference I went to was a good example of "It really is about the speakers".

One of the speakers was the first one in North America to get one of the new Japanese 3-D metal printers which include a precision 3-D milling head in the envelope so that they can 3-D print injection molds with conformal cooling for prototype runs. So far, so normal--and not terribly useful to an electrical engineer.

However, he had a throwaway line that their previous solution was to use a Form 2, 3-D print an injection mold in the high-temp plastic, put that mold in an aluminum carrier, and inject 25-50 units before the plastic mold breaks down.

THAT got my attention on a LOT of different dimensions:

1) SLA was good enough for real work with a company doing injection molding whose time is money

2) SLA had good enough surface finish to do injection molding.

3) The high-temp resin was robust enough to hold up to a real injection molding machine

That simple throwaway line was THE nugget of the conference. We bought an SLA printer the next week and the thing hasn't been idle since.

It's not incompetence. When you request a route, your iPhone breaks up the request into separate, unrelated segments so Apple doesn't even know your total route. They've done work to avoid tracking you.

Call it a "marketing ploy" or "altruism" or whatever, but the fact is that Google wants to know where you go, and Apple doesn't.

One problem with this is that browsers don't behave the same. For example, iOS Safari prevents multiple pop-up windows to be opened by a single user interaction. Each one requires clicking back to the original page and allowing the popup. Now you might say, "Why would you ever want to do that?" But there are always going to be edge cases—in this case it's an integral part of one of the features of autotempest.com. But that's just one example. And the only way we can detect whether that behaviour is going to be blocked is by checking the UA.

I can understand why this is a good thing for privacy. Like many things to do with security on the web though, it's just a shame that bad actors have to ruin so many things for legitimate uses. (The recent story on Safari local storage being another example of that...)

The WHOOP strap is the best I’ve seen and is very accurate.
By the time you feeling symptomatic, our current understanding[0] is that you've been shedding the virus all over the damn place for the past 2-14 days[1], spreading germs everywhere you've been. By the time you feel sick, it's too late. It's spring, are you really going to self-isolate for 14 days just because you sneezed once? What sounds better, going to get tested, so you can know if it's a sneeze and you can go about your life, or self-isolate because of you sneezed once. During spring.

We failed at preparing for this. Let's not double down on failure.

Still wrong. Reread the second to last line of your original post.

>There's a reason why screening tests need to be highly accurate.

They don't. That's the point. It doesn't need to be 99.9% accurate unless the disease is so aggressive that you're all dead anyway.

There's the contention. The goal is exponential decay, and the only scalable method is to reduce the reproduction rate. Even if you don't drop below 1, a smaller exponential still grows exponentially slower.
The test proposed on the website is NOT currently approved for use in Australia, and is unlikely to be approved for self-test use.

Quote from TGA:
"NOTE: In Australia, the supply of self-tests for most serious infectious diseases, including self-tests for COVID-19, is prohibited under the Therapeutic Goods (Excluded Purposes) Specification 2010. Testing for serious infectious diseases is best conducted in conjunction with a healthcare professional who can provide appropriate advice and treatment if required."

Alternatively, you could assign maintaining the mask inventory to admin staff. I know they often don't have advanced degrees, but I can't imagine they'd do a worse job of it. Actually, they'd probably take the job a lot more seriously than the "experts" who are in charge currently.

Assigning such tasks to a central body seems like an extremely fragile design, and as evidence for this assertion, I offer the current state of reality. I find it a rather convincing argument, but then I'm probably quite biased.

Also having worked for a hedge fund, they're generally going to do their best to get you at the lowest salary possible. The overall benefits might be good, but they're going to do their best to low ball on the salary, "you'll make it up at bonus time!"
