Please pay more tax.

Then we can fund the science with it.

Honestly, I heard a comment on Slate Money to the effect of "Why aren't the billionaire class doing more to fund COVID research"

All the epidemiology, all the WHO plans for last decade, all the incredible co-ordinated response globally (#) has been publicly funded. Give over on the idea private companies are good for anything but taking existing research in the hands of hundreds and putting it into hands of millions and billions.

Pay tax. Vote for competence.

(#) yes I happen to think that shutting down most of the planet, in an attempt to save millions of lives, in a matter of weeks, is an amazing feat of global co-ordination. Yes there are lots of local differences and many many ways things could be better but humanity could have done so much worse.

Last week I got rates of roughly 0.06 € pet mask from Shanghai to Frankfurt. Equals somewhere just shy of 8 € per kg, all handling charges included. Rates were valid until last Sunday, bo idea where they are now.

But even double that would still be on the cheap side of things compared to the price increase for masks. Offer doubled within three days last week, and the 4 € per mask from Saturday aren't valid anymore.

That the German government basically put out calls for offers under conditions that don't involve price negotiation certainly didn't help.

I would love to see new neighborhoods being built have their plumbing not right under the road. It just seems so stupid to do that since it basically increases the costs. Instead it'd probably be better to put it under the sidewalk and have loops embedded in the sidewalks so that when work needs to be done you can tie it up to a fork truck and lift the sidewalk tiles up to perform your work. It's easily accessible, no digging, no excessive repair costs afterwards, and should make the actual work cheaper since repairs can be made faster.

We have vaccines for flu. Every year, a probabilistic determination is made of which strains will be a problem and those are put into the vaccine.

Covid-19 is Two Diseases
American doctor was fired for talking about lack of materials for doctors and nurses.

I understand what you are talking about, but there was enough data public about China having trouble in January. And there was that report from secret service that was known by goverment and became public later. The situation being bad in China was not opaque or unknown. They dis not actually managed to make it much of secret.

And right now, "Chinese are lying" is used as propaganda to make Americans think that situation is quite good and defensive measures are unnecessary. It just can't possibly be that America has taken lead in infected. America ia the greatest always and in everything. It just can't be, it would be just fine to open economy and it is all hoax.
Yesterday, I read some paper from 2010 which found near identical filtration results for one type of N95 mask vs. 2 types of N99 mask... Basically none of these masks will filter all the particles, hence healthcare worker will eventually infect themselves unless you go full warzone (e.g. hazmat suites for everyone). All of this stuff is about managing risk (as is running around with simple masks and social distancing).

Sometimes magic bullet solution just doesn't exist. Is this one of those cases? I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like things are going that way. Imperfect solution is not necessarily mediocrity. Looking back at history, people rarely take perfect solutions at the time. Sometimes even decades later nobody has came up with a perfect solution for decades old issues.

Personally I'm more pissed off at people who try to spin this situation to take a stab politicians they don't like for other reasons. Or just expect magic pill to appear out of nowhere.

The disinformation campaign "masks do no good!" brought more bad than good IMO. Sad to see lots of people believe that it's not worth to cover one's face out in public. Shitty propaganda in good faith is still shitty propaganda. Who could have thought people believe what they're told and don't change their mind on a whim when they're told opposite!

The problem that I fear is that most of this work will go to waste since it is difficult to apply your own custom styles to the default experience for most input types. Instead of having to reinvent a date picker for every project I would love to be able to use the built in types, but they are usually too inflexible or have made suboptimal aesthetic choices. Is it too much to ask to be able to style a <select>, increase the size of the date picker, or to add animated stripes to a progress meter? I want it to be easy to make the web both beautiful and accessible but am glad for the slow and steady progress.
Annual Protest to ‘Fight Krebs’ Raises €150K+
I'm still not convinced that the electric charge on the floating gate comes from the power supply. I believe the energy comes from the power supply, but the electron comes from the conductive path in the chip.

Consider a simple case of an indirectly-heated vacuum diode, there's a filament, a cathode and an anode. The current in the filament heats up the cathode and allows an electron on the cathode to gain energy and breaks free, flying towards the anode. This electron returns back to the cathode via the external circuit. But whether the electron gets "recycled" or not (whether it's a closed loop or not), note that the electron comes from the metal that forms the cathode, it does not come from the power supply. So the anode receives as many electrons as the cathode loses. The power supply only heats the cathode indirectly to transfer the energy to the free electrons that already exist on the cathode from the beginning. Same situation occurs in an electron gun. The electrons come from the metal of the cathode itself, it doesn't come from the power supply.

Although I don't know anything about physics, but I believe it's a similar situation in Flash chips. A potential difference applied between the conductive path between the drain and source near the floating gate accelerates the electrons in the path, allowing some to jump to the floating gate. The electron is not supplied by the power source.

> it's more like an electron gun.

More likely than not that is a return path for the electron to go back to its power supply in many electron guns, otherwise the object at the end of the beam eventually becomes positively charged and repeals the electrons. In a CRT, a conductive coating [0] is connected to the power supply to collect the electrons after they hit the screen.

But again, I think it's not the point, the point is that the electrons in the floating gate comes from somewhere else in the chip, not from an external source.

BTW: I'm not trying to "win" an argument, I just think it's an interesting question. I did not downvote your post.

Will Antiviral Drugs Save Us from Coronavirus?
No. I have read a lot of history books which delve into diaries and correspondence of individuals fighting in front line situations. The respectful weighing of the other side's reasons for fighting is overwhelmed by a desire to kill them in graphic and brutal ways.

This is a product of putting people under the pressure of fear of death for hours, days or weeks at a time, propagandizing the enemy as less than human and trauma from the loss of loved ones at the hands of what in modern war is an unknown enemy.

This understanding escapes us in popular culture. It isn't often that HBO series or history books focus on the enmity that abides long after conflict has ceased. Those who return from war with hate still in them are our 'Taxi Driver' type villains or freaks. We don't reckon that to a certain extent everyone we send into combat has hate in them.
Oh, I fully agree and would love for this to work. I just felt that this xkcd was going to get posted eventually so might as well be me. From the react world, being able to transition easily from MUI to Ant or something would be beautiful.

That's talking about spoofing someone reading out numbers. You just need a German speaker for that.

My cellphone broke last summer I was paddling on lake Inari. Immediate panic. There is no-one I need to have contact with. The housing co-op will take of the apartment and there is nothing of real value in there. My other inventments transactions were blocked until september. But I just could not stand it. After a day or two I paddled to Ivalo.

The point is that I have lived up to 6 months in wilderness without any human contact. In Kodiak 1996 I occasionally listened to BBC shortwave, but nothing of interest ever happened so I soon forgot about it.

There is some fundamental issue that needs to be fixed. Maybe they should have sign on the moon, "NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, just take it easy".
As pointed out in this post, tangzhong not only makes soft breads with a nice crumb, but it also makes them stay soft for a longer time period than you'd often find.

Sooner or later some people in a company want to work on "large-scale distributed systems", so they invent many problems that didn't exist to solve, like needing to support a chat app that allows the entire company of more than 5000 people in a single chat room. And the management just loves that kind of "ambition", because they can definitely ask for more people. Remember in a big company, it is more important to manage relation of production than production for you to advance your career? You would be golden if you manage to make your project too bloated to fail. When everyone does that for their own career, you get, well, many start-ups currently struggling in the valley.

In terms of COVID-19, I'm skeptical there's any real need for VC style funding:

Yes - Army had impact on development. War - didnt. Even if we discuss research caused by wars i am 100% sure these would be made a lots faster without an actual war.
