I saw this from Medtronic earlier: https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/e/open-files.html. It seems safer in many ways than unproven designs IMO, but obviously doesn't mean it is best.

Just a couple of things I have seen.

I'd say pre-order funding for a non-medical device manufacturer is probably a bit scary/unlikely for most commercial hospitals unless the government backs it. A hospital won't feel comfortable pre-paying from a smaller non-medical device manufacturer. Pre-orders funded by banks or private funds that are paid on delivery would be more doable but obviously has different set of risks.

Additionally, right now the FDA isn't allowing any non-approved devices, only allowing third party manufactures to work with existing device manufactures to increase their capacity (usually a manufacturer has to be approved by the FDA to even manufacture medical devices). So I'd start by looking to partner with one of the larger med device manufacturers with an FDA approved device already. Any of these open source designs would be required to go through at minimum an emergency review at the FDA, which they said they are open to but the obvious first move is manufacture more of what is already approved and has testing already setup. Then use CE certified vents (EU based vents) since they have similar standards to the FDA. Then as a last resort move to emergency approval of these open source designs. I think they put out some guidance on this exact issue last week, you might want to check with the FDA.

"> Mass surveillance network

Are you kidding?

China's mass surveillance and censorship network is pervasive, all-encompassing, widely publicized, and an intrinsic aspect of their state apparatus.

It's not even remotely comparable to 'license plate monitoring' in scale, scope, politicization, repercussions.

This level of relativistic rhetoric is anti-intellectual.

No joke, I started my career in Step 1 with Ruby on Rails. I lived and breathed Step 2 and Step 3 with the ever-changing industry standards: jQuery, backbone, angular (avoided), react, and (currently wrangling at work) the complex beast that is graphql & apollo, all over the span of 10 years. Coming back to Rails for a side project has helped me realize:

- Server-side rendering is actually fantastic. It's fast for users and there's no sluggish build step holding you back.

- Turbolinks covers 70% of the interactivity you need.

- Alpine.js covers another 20%.

- With Rails having webpack built in, there's no friction to writing/importing your super-fancy JS interaction for that last 10% when you need to.

Rails gets it right. It truly makes your dev life better, in ways that actually matter. Back then I was convinced Rails led to spaghetti code, but in hindsight I just needed to improve as a software developer.

10 years later, there still isn't a better tool than Rails for tech founders. There are some promising ones, but none that get you launched nearly as quickly. It's kind of annoying, to be honest. Is this that hard of a problem?

That controversy never made sense to me. Most restaurants in the US "effectively pocket the tips" in the same way. In fact, any servers that are being paid roughly minimum wage up to minimum wage + $5 could have their tips pocketed in the same way.

Here's a question for people who were so upset by this. Let's say you have a bunch of tipped employees that you directly pay $10/hour and with tips they average $20/hour. You have two problems though, (1) your employees complain that during some shifts they are making barely over their base pay and (2) potential new hires are worried that they won't make as much in tips as you say current employees make. The question is: would it be taking advantage of those employees to change the employment to include a guaranteed $15/hour minimum, for any shift where they make less than that you'd pay them extra to hit the minimum?
With the federal government putting what is essentially temporary UBI (as part of the "CARES Act" stimulus program) in place for those who have lost work or hours due to COVID, this is the best time to flex your labor muscle. If Amazon does not meet their demands, these folks can fall back to unemployment insurance for up to 10 months.

I apologize for the wall of text below, feel free to minimize this comment ([-] sign next to delete above), but it is crucial to demonstrate how broad this support is to the working class.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-stimulus-package... (F.A.Q. on Stimulus Checks, Unemployment and the Coronavirus Plan)

> Benefits will be expanded in an attempt to replace the average worker’s paycheck, explained Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation, a public policy research group. The average worker earns about $1,000 a week, and unemployment benefits often replace roughly 40 to 45 percent of that. The expansion will pay an extra amount to fill the gap. Under the plan, eligible workers will get an extra $600 per week on top of their state benefit. But some states are more generous than others. According to the Century Foundation, the maximum weekly benefit in Alabama is $275, but it’s $450 in California and $713 in New Jersey.

> Are gig workers, freelancers and independent contractors covered? Yes, self-employed people are newly eligible for unemployment benefits. Self-employed workers will also be eligible for the additional $600 weekly benefit provided by the federal government.

> If you’ve received a diagnosis, are experiencing symptoms or are seeking a diagnosis — and you’re unemployed, partly unemployed or cannot work as a result — you will be covered. The same goes if you must care for a member of your family or household who has received a diagnosis.

> What if my child’s school or day care shut down? If you rely on a school, a day care or another facility to care for a child, elderly parent or another household member so that you can work — and that facility has been shut down because of coronavirus — you are eligible.

> What if I’ve been advised by a health care provider to quarantine myself because of exposure to coronavirus? And what about broader orders to stay home? People who must self-quarantine are covered. The legislation also says that individuals who are unable to get to work because of a quarantine imposed as a result of the outbreak are eligible.

> Why is everything made in China?

Part of me wonders how serious a question this is. The ridiculously cheap manufacturing costs is why anything is made in China. When the Chinese get unions to negotiate $45/hour salaries, require fair working conditions, time off, medical/dental, and on and on things might be different.

You can take advantage of the situation and develop a 100% robotic assembly line that does not require $45/hour workers so that you can manufacture critical equipment in your own country. Be the hero the world needs, not the one it deserves.
It also could do the opposite, as small businesses get crushed and only larger businesses recover -- creating more income inequality and leading to the most powerful having even more power over our economy. Workers may have less ability to negotiate for raises, thankful just to have any job at all. Unions themselves may see losses as people are laid off and have even fewer resources to put into organizing workers, etc...

Even non-union protections directly by government like sick leave could be harder as businesses lobby that they can't afford to provide it at this time. (In my view, this pandemic shows we can't afford NOT to. But it's a debate to be had.)

I think people have a lot of control over how this goes, I'm not saying it's hopeless. Just saying that I don't think it's a naturally-occurring phenomenon. The Great Recession wasn't great for the labor movement.
Applications in the military and aerospace sectors are exempt from EU RoHS regulations. Some medical devices may also be exempt, but this is rare. (None of the medical devices I've worked on have been exempt.)

(The US generally follows the same pattern, by industry alignment rather than law. It's actually nice for the US: we get all the benefits of industry-wide RoHS adoption, but with the ability to painlessly "opt out" for any reason at all.)

> Embedding islands of cooperative multitasking in a sea of pre-emptive multitasking seems to make a lot more sense than the other way around.

Pretty much my opinion. I think a preemptive threaded environment where some threads might run multiple async tasks (in order to boost efficiency) can make a lot of sense.

Pure cooperative environments seem too error-prone for bigger systems, because they lack the necessary isolation between tasks. Any bad task can degenerate the performance of all others tasks by blocking the execution thread.
Are you doing any regular strength training?

I got RSI since I was 12 no joke. On and off until I was 30 something. I was doing physio, stretching, and tons of NSAIDS (bad news for my tummy over the long run). Not until I started doing pushups and squats and swinging around a kettle bell (very carefully) did I finally get a rest on the regular pain.

It's a journey. Lots of technical aspects. Since your a coder I hope you might cotton to it. Best of luck! You don't need to be in pain.

> Are you really arguing that farmers shouldn't charge for the food they grow?

No, I'm saying we shouldn't bail out big corps and banks. We should mail checks to Americans who need to eat instead of relying on big corps to pay them to do so. History has shown time and time again that instead of paying their labourers fairly, big corps will hoard wealth to enrich their VCs and pay out bonuses to execs. Let's go straight to the root of the problem instead of bowing down to our corporate overlords.

> Then sell to someone with money?

Unfortunately I don't have time for this. My family is going to go hungry next week, so I don't have time to build up a new business and flounder for a while.

> I do agree that we systematically prevent poor neighborhoods from access to capital markets, but that is due to burdensome regulation, not greed.

This is where we disagree. It's 100% absolutely due to greed.

> you should be getting the unemployment insurance you paid for

I live paycheck to paycheck, we had to skip 2 meals last week. I can't afford unemployment insurance.

> Paid a few dollars for the seeds, and grew them for two months in my house.

Again, I don't have time to wait for seeds to grow. I don't know how I'm going to feed my children next week, let alone in two months.

Now obviously I'm not the person who is having these problems, I'm just talking like one to show you the flaws in your argument. You're looking at this from the perspective of someone who has an emergency savings fund, and an education, but the stark reality is that 50% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and have no ability to start a business like you're saying. You have to be in a position of extreme privilege to talk this way.

Every American deserves a roof over their head and a hot meal. For some reason we've set up a system where people like Adam von Neumann and the Waltons get to decide which Americans deserve to eat, and which deserve to go hungry. You're saying that's not because of greed? We have the ability to feed every American in this country, but we artificially gate food and housing behind "jobs," then ensure that those big corps get huge bailouts under the guise of protecting workers.

If we want to protect workers, we can just mail them checks. No need to go through big corps, except for corrupt reasons like enriching VCs, lobbyists, and execs.
You're attempting to shame and villainize people that disagree with the movement, and trying to justify that using meaningless buzzwords like "solidarity".

Why should the strikers not show solidarity with the non-strikers by stopping the strike? Or show solidarity with the health care workers by enduring difficult times for the common good?

Why do strikes always seem to be surrounded by such emotional rhetoric? To me, that's a warning sign that there's no underlying logic.

Let's hope so, but frankly I doubt it. I see more concentrated wealth/power in fewer hands after this turns around.

I really truly hope all the light this pandemic sheds on huge systemic issues in this country are realized by the population at large and acted upon.

The sad state of healthcare in the US being the most obvious issues on the forefront, but also the decline of labor in general, rampant cronyism, and disgusting societal priorities/incentives favoring concentrated economic growth above all else. A vibrant economy is important but it's not the most important aspect of a society, not when it comes at a cost of physical/mental health and pitiful standards of living for massive portions of the population.
I'll add to this: for me, the office game was (eventually, after many years) a gateway into more serious playing at the club.

Yeah, I'm now a better player than most at work, but I wouldn't say work games aren't interesting to me. I have so many fundamentals to work on! It can be a challenge for me to even consistently hit a ball back in a way that a novice can continue the rally (especially when dealing with a trickier shot).

I definitely think the higher level games are crucial for success, too; I just find that I get some value out of almost any game (if I look for it).
> And yes, we really need to rethink this whole, "employer bound health insurance"-thing.

This may end up being the most important silver lining of the COVID19 situation.

It made sense for those who could get those jobs, but US society of the 1950s-1970s was pretty selective as to to whom it availed such jobs and attached health benefits.

How is it unfair to demand that a business puts some effort in keeping their workforce healthy?

These workers were forced to work during quarantine because the government deemed Amazon an essential business.
As a result, Amazon stock's price relative gain to the S&P 500 tumble during this crisis is ~80%, that's almost a doubling of the stock valuation due to the uninterrupted business that these delivery workers made possible.

I repeat: AWS basically doubled their relative stock valuation, withstood one of the biggest stock market tumbles in all history, because their lowest level employees went to work at a point when everybody else stayed at home safe.

Agreed! Most coworking spaces who remained open do not do any events, nor do they let visitors come in. In most cases, the space is strictly accessible to members who need to come to let's say pick up their mail.

Also, the purpose of the article is for coworking spaces and their members to find financial and helpful resources in their region as most of them are closed and see members resigning.
It may seem that way for a few items that keep appearing in the news, but the general trend over the last 200 years has been to make state laws more uniform and to increase regulation at the federal level. For example, for normal job loss, state benefits are fairly uniform, and when we have recessions, we get federal legislation passed to uniformly extend state unemployment benefits with federal money. Not too long ago, that would have been unthinkable.

Good, they're leeches on society and add nothing of value. If they added value, they wouldn't pay their workers the bare minimum and list them as contractors so they don't get health insurance. Let's encourage more compassionate corporations to expand their operations, and force greedy corporations out. I think we'll all be better off for it.

"are saying that countries and regions that are under-testing relative to Iceland all have numbers that are wrong?"

No, I'm saying that Iceland's numbers are strong, that they compare remotely well with most other nations (ie more testing, lower rate of infection), all of which, when taking together, make China's numbers look fabricated.

"That is what you don't get, there was never an outbreak in the rest of the country outside of Hubei."

3000 is an enormous number of cases, tantamount to a 'major outbreak'.

> Are you honestly saying that Japan and the US have a comparable history?

This is exactly the point of parent comment: people are simply repeating the same narrative based on "the history" as if we are still in cold war and it is impossible to know what really happened in China, while this is no longer true.

Surely the situation is not ideal, in that you still need hours to read between lines and investigate, China must improve on this, but the virus just showed us one thing: being dismissive about anything coming out of China may lead to a global disaster. We should either try to understand, or cut ties with China.
Not necessarily because the monopolies themselves are then more prone to disruption.

If Amazon’s the only game in town and Amazon workers go on strike, you have problems that can’t be resolved by competitors rushing in to fill the gaps.
The proposed system uses exactly such a thing. But a mask doesn't work because you want to put pressure into the lungs, not inflate the cheeks. Masks only work temporarily to assist a patient that is still breathing relatively well on his own.

And there is nothing technically preventing the use of those bags right now. But you'd have to have one person standing beside each bed, 24 hours a day. Which means a hell of a lot of foot traffic, and those will get infected with a high probability. They also need to be trained to a minimal standard.

It's not practical.
