That's a safe assumption since ~80% are asymptomatic and therefore probably think they don't have it or it's just a cold, allergies, etc.

That's where the "stay home!" mantra kicks in. If you have it and stay home for two weeks, maybe you infect your family but none of you infect anyone else. Therefore, it burns out without anyone else to spread to. Not a perfect world but it's the one we ahve.

I don't think the GP is enraged that there are competent private sector actors. I'd guess they're enraged that this competence can't be transferred to the places where it could matter 10x or 100x more. I feel kind of similarly.

An obvious example is that the president could have picked a highly competent, non-partisan manager as the head of his coronavirus team. Regardless of his competence, Vice President Pence is clearly a polarizing figure without a track record of dealing with crises of this scale.

This crisis could really benefit from a highly competent manager who could bust heads and sweep away bureaucratic hurdles. But that person would need to be someone honestly trusted by all stakeholders. We're seeing lots of actors maneuvering to gain ideological advantage even in the midst of these terrible events (shame on them). I don't even know if such a person exists any more but their non-existence would mean the US is in for serious trouble.

Related aside, 'Ebola' might have been 'Yambuku' instead, named for the village where the disease was first noticed, but Peter Piot decided to name it after the nearby Ebola River instead, to avoid damning the small village's name.
"The growing number of lab-confirmed cases in the U.S. at this point still pales in comparison to the seasonal flu, which kills an estimated 12,000 to 61,000 people per year and affects between 9 million and 45 million people in the country, according to the CDC."

As a Trotskyist I think Russia was doomed to bureaucratization regardless of who won the power struggle given they were isolated, only semi-capitalist, and even the existing economy and proletariat were pretty much destroyed in WW1 and the civil war (resulting in losing 80%+ of many economic sectors). But it would have been interesting and maybe even more tragic to see the historical alternative...

This is trivial to verify. I’ll save you two minutes and say that yes indeed it’s accessible through Tor. Tor doesn’t have a static number of exit nodes and due to the variable nature of the network it’s difficult to block.

Ah, people who believe in marxism are ideologues and people who believe in the predominant ruling-class economic wisdom are simply wisely following expert advice. I feel like I've been here before.

I bloody wish there were good modern Esperanto courses. I've found a Michel Thomas method Esperanto course once but it was incomplete. I would really love to buy a complete one (even for a price higher than what other languages cost). Intuition suggests I'm not the only one interested although there probably are not too many. This means the demand, albeit humble, certainly is higher than the offer. You might consider running a croudsourcing campaign and making some good modern Esperanto resources if you really feel interested in teaching people Esperanto.
If you can't live off the interest generated by your assets, and need to work to eat and keep a roof over your head, you're either working class or part of the middle class. The VP pulling in half a million is assuredly in the upper middle class, even if they make more money than 99% of people.

The code smell here is the use of shared_ptr.

From where I sit USA is doing not nearly enough to prevent the spread.

Here in Poland the actions started very early when there was less than half a dozen cases when all schools were closed and now with about a thousand cases we have full curfew with stiff fines (about $10k) for people moving or meeting without sufficient reason.

Even though reaction was quite fast there was no sufficient testing of all suspected cases as it was done in South Korea and it is expected we will have at least tens of thousands of cases.

If you look at the graphs of cases on https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ you will see the logarithmic graphs for Poland very slowly flattening which means the growth is slowing down while the one for US is still growing strong completely unchecked.

It took from March 14th to March 25th (11 days) to get last 10x increase in Poland, the previous 10x increase from March 8 to March 14th (6 days).

In US, the numbers are March 17th to March 25th (8 days) while the previous 10x increase was from March 9th to March 17th (also 8 days).

So it seems while Poland started faster it now has slower doubling rate while also having much less portion of population infected.

Now compare this to current situation in Italy where the last 10x increase took from March 8th to March 25th which is 17 days and you will see that US situation is way worse than in Italy as the doubling rate is not only not slowing down but the exponent is over two times higher. During the time it took Italy to increase cases 10x the same number increased over 100 times in US.

I don't have a way to connect the government actions to results but I also understand without the actions the virus would spread unconstrained.
Such a disaster was a rare, but unfortunately it happened. A heavy black marker diagonally down the side made it a lot easier to reassemble the cards in the right order.
Are you using the latest numbers? More tests are being done every day now in the US than had been done total about a week ago, and we're up to 520,000 tests.

The body of the article contains a really good descriptions of the heuristic shortcuts we use, and their limitations.

Ditto the Polish word for car, samochód, which translates literally to “self go,” and then.. automobile
Well, this is only the beginning, it is gonna get really bad and quick. USA will have the highest number of infections normalized by the population and most likely the highest dead rate also. The reason is USA only started testing and only 21 states told people to stay home as of today.
You can always write a function that gets triggered on a schedule and then performs a polling action. For example, instead on continuously polling, have a Lambda function that polls once and stops immediately if there's no work to be done yet, then use a CloudWatch Event to run that function once a minute.
Do you think it was a random factor that had it debut on iOS.

Despite far fewer devices, the Apple App Store has always made more revenue than Android. The most recent real numbers [0] I could find show this is a big difference.

I always assumed that’s why app devs roll out on iOS first.

I moved back to North Carolina after 10 years in Austin, and I miss H-E-B as well. Harris Teeter used to be the "high end" store here (before Whole Foods arrived) and while I was gone they were bought by Kroger. The customer experience has gotten significantly worse. I'd love it if H-E-B could expand to the Carolinas and bring good tortillas here.
Naturally no simple reason but I would say many people feel the rapid drop was overdone and put stocks into good value territory. Also might be people looking to park cash, especially 10 year notes.

Personally Im mixed. Given how inflated stocks are at historical earnings and the severity of covid to the economy you'd think this drop will go much further. A couple months lockdown might really push a new reality. But offset that to even lower intrest rates coming, surely more and more quantative easing and a current view to somewhat prioritise the economy over people....who knows.
Free trade and open borders are only a problem for the working class under capitalism. That is what reconciles these views.

What's your point? That you agree that game developers are using new technology?
1) Grab Netguard,

2) Donate to Marcel for key to get granularity

3) Turn off ALL apps, so when they launch they have no wan access.

4) Open each app one by one, noting what links and phoning home the app tries to perform

5) Watch in disgust as you begin to realize all of your efforts to secure your privacy up to this point has been in vain...antacids help.

6) Take control by granularly killing the links/calls in apps you decide to keep. Spotify calls FB, but you now can fix that. This is empowering but only a start.

R/privacy will make you paranoid, but a good place to get an idea what you are up against. I read Anon, join to post, and after some time delete my content, been doing that for decades now.
It doesn't automatically invalidate it, but it makes possible things that would invalidate it.
But even if we assume it's no more deadly than a bad flu, doesn't it being novel and hence no immunity at all in the population, give it a much higher impact than the flu?

I mean regardless of the actual CFR and R0 value, we can take a look at Wuhan, Spain, Italy and now increasingly likely NY to see the impact. I'm not an expert but I don't think a bad seasonal flu overwhelms the local hospitals. And this is with extraordinary measures being taken to boost hospital capacity already.
> due to the variable nature of the network it’s difficult to block.

Due to the fact that the Tor project provides a variety of lookup tools to determine whether an IP is an exit node -- including a DNS-based lookup -- it's trivial to block Tor users.

I'm not completely sure about this, as I don't have a cable connection to my house (only fiber) so I never paid attention. But AFIAK the major cable providers here allow you to configure the supplied modem-router into passthrough mode (thus, only acting as a modem) so you can install your own router behind it.

I have never met someone who attempted to install their own cable modem. I do know that the cable modulation standard (DOCSIS) is wildly complicated, so even buying the right type of cable modem for your connection would be challenging. There may also be licensing issues involved that would prevent you from buying such modem completely.

Teenagers are supposed to have a support net, and be in school. It is not abnormal for them to have a living wage.

The same is true for students, albeit in a lesser form. Nevertheless, students will rarely have full time, qualified jobs. They need the time to go to class, and have no qualifications or experience.

The fact that part timers are discounted, is because if you work 50% then it is to be expected that your monthly salary is half that of full time employment. Sure, some people may want to work more but cannot, but for many it is a choice that enables them to do something else. Raising kids for example.

Were not counting infants or dead people neither. Because it would not make sense. The point is to understand the wage situation of people when their wages are not influenced by something else, so that we can compare.

Naw, this is what intelligence is for. It's not like these launch points aren't known in advance. Is Russia really going to lack awareness of a launch from a common civilian launch point? Plus they could always have court mandated blackout periods. World tensions heating up? Shut down landing points to anywhere 100km of Russia or you get fined.
