Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
jdmichal, what you are mentioning is a fundamental problem of deciding as to who is correct? Am I getting that right?

Well there is no clear answer as to who has the right answer. Most people tend to rely on the first licensed MD that will give them advise. Someone like me will may go in for a second and third opinion, and sometimes based solely on my existing knowledge and opinion of an MD at all. As with with all hard decisions, the answer is: 'it depends'

>At some point, you're either trusting unverified word of mouth,

Mostly, yes. But there are nuances.

>or you're verifying with the same type of data that the FDA is responsible for collecting and verifying.

What makes you think that FDA is the only source of truth? It could be my blood letting friendly barber for me. Well, I'm exaggerating, but you do get the point?
You're not accounting for complications from the 10% or so that require medical intervention, who are largely working age.
Does anybody know if these codes are running in tightly coupled (IE, MPI to get best scaling, with non-trivial communications algorithms), or embarassingly parallel (ensemble models, like hyperparameter optimization), or some mix of in-between? Historically, the supercomputer centers have denied embarassingly parallel codes from running on their machines because they don't use the interconnect in a non-trivial way.

> another demands their security team be fired.

This drives me nuts. Disclosure: I'm currently working in a security role. My company is great, and if someone on my team says "we shouldn't do this", the reaction is to meet and decide how to replace an idea with something that serves the business request and our (and our users') security needs. I love it.

But I also know I'm being spoiled here. More common in my experience is:

Software engineer: We need to do a thing.

Security team: No! We can't do thing at all. It would ruin us.

Engineer's manager: We've already started and our CEO promised it to a customer. Do your job and figure out how to secure it.

Just saying, cut that group a little slack until we know that someone actually didn't do their jobs.

yeah, it takes a while to really appreciate. I read a fair amount of NVC stuff and it always sounded a little bit stupid and wooden (oh, of course I could say that, but why would I even say something that dumb sounding) even though I liked the theories.

Like most forms of awareness training, it takes a direct experience through lots of practice as to how your own bodymind is changing. The direct experience of being able to hear someone stating needs and empathizing directly with your commonality in having those needs regardless of how they are acting is a pretty strong one.

Even now though when we are having a conflict where both my partner and I feel confused and hurt and we don't quite even understand what we are arguing about but we both feel something pretty intensely we will literally sit down with a typed sheet of feelings of needs and try to identify exactly what is happening for us, regardless of "content" of the fight.

It still amazes me, especially as someone socialized to not feel my feelings, how often in those situations I actually have no idea what I'm /feeling/ (other than BAD) much less what I am needing...
600 USD per week is just under £500 quid GBP per week, or about 2000 pounds a month, or 24K GBP a year.

Quick google search shows that the median income for the UK is £585 per week, which works out at around £30,420 a year (or $37,647.03 USD).

Hardly luxurious in the UK or US. Probably enough to get by, but nothing amazing.
I was quite happy to use LineageOS for my Nexus 5X and it worked great up to the point where my bootloader was now unlocked and certain apps, like for the bank or remote access apps, did not work anymore, as they considered the device unsecure. Do other phones allow you to flash the bootloader checksum, so you can lock it again?

You would have to develop your suggestions further before they would have a reasonable chance of being adopted.

common lisp the language hasn't changed since it was standardized, so code written to the strengths of the standard has not experienced bit rot. screamer, series, cmu's ai code archive, old common lisp-based books (like norwig's paradigms of ai) will all work out of the box. that is not to say that the language runtimes are not improving, instead they focus on improvements that complement the standard, but you can grab any old algorithm, and it'll work in recent sbcl.

there are underspecified parts of the standard, notably the protocol around the object oriented system (common lisp object system meta-object protocol), and then there are parts that are not specified at all: networking, interactions with C libraries, unicode, threading. each runtime implements it in its own particular way. that means that the core of something like CLX, which is the network interface to X11, could've stayed exactly the same, but the networking outer layer had to be updated with the details of specific runtimes. in case of X11 that support goes all the way back to lisp machine Genera. on the other hand something like SSL support which will both rely on external C library and concern itself with network, will usually bit rot very rapidly.

The core problem is that the airlines fixated on returns and their stock price with little focus on disaster planning. They cut costs by slashing their frequent flyer programs, buying more fuel efficient planes, and for American, they cut some really badly performing routes.

For any of the majors to make a real comeback after Covid, we'll need to see how much of their bread and butter (corporate contracts) comes back and how quickly. If there is a severe lag in that money flowing into the airlines, consolidation isn't far away.

Can you elaborate on "legally agreed". She was openly talking to lots of alternative media about the currupt establishment and how the DNC does not want her. She should "illegally" support Sanders or nobody. She would got lot of press for it. Super disappointed with her, there was also this Israel Gaza thing where she voted wrong and disappointed me already but I could let that slide. I will never put my hope into any politician anymore. The system is broken and even the outcasts who are, at least when they start out, for the people pathetically cave to it. Same for Sanders, he endorsed Hillary - pathetic!

What is the accuracy of non-contact infrared thermometers sensors in detecting high body temperatures? If you use an off the shelf cheap non-contact thermometer then your will read ~32C when you measure your forehead temperature. As far as I can tell most health non-contact thermometers work by measuring the ambient temperature and using this to calibrate the measured forehead temperature. But there seem to be many factors in play: if a worker has just come from another colder or hotter environment, the size of a workers head, ambient air speed, hair covering, where the operator aims the device...

In the best study [1] I have seen using expensive ($25,000) equipment, the sensitivity vs specificity is too low [2] to suggest that they are useful outside of environments that can tolerate high levels of false positives. To catch 90% of the people with Covid-19 you will inadvertently turn away at least 10% of your workforce as false positives.

I would be interested in seeing studies from actual workplace screenings in terms of how many workers are turned away and how many feverish workers are actually detected.

What is the library you use for running functions based on CSS query?

I am working on a project where I initialize some DOM elements with data- attributes and control their visibility in response to a form input change event. It would be nice to somehow run the visibility check in more of a declarative/reactive manner without having to commit to writing my templates with a front end framework and build tooling.

Are there any reactive JavaScript frameworks that treat DOM and data- attributes as first-class citizens?
Thanks, that makes sense. I am not familiar with Zoom the product to know the connectors show up in participant list.

I think even if proper e2e channel established, without authentication (Zoom just allows you to join any meeting with a token, like every other Hangout product), the key exchanges with other participants will be very automated. There seems to be very limited security guarantee if anyone can send you a public key in exchange for the current session key to participate in a meeting to begin with.

> So at the time this argument applies, you have provided them readable information and the doctrine would apply.

Ah, yes, that tracks.

Basically: The customer doesn't have a strong 4A argument because for the customer to be impacted the provider is already looking at your data, so the third-party doctrine applies.

The company probably doesn't have a strong 4A argument because they are making the choice (albiet a potentially coerced one) to eliminate end-to-end encryption. The company itself isn't suffering any undue search or seizure.

Thanks for explaining! With that clarification I'm totally with you. I agree that the 4A argument that the coercion is sufficient to treat the service provider as an extension of the state is colorable, but much less strong than the 1A argument.
The goal is not to fight the epidemic, it’s probably to track: (1) current social networks talk about the no-go zones that don’t respect confinement, and (2) see if any Gilets Jaunes 2.0 or any revolutionary groups is forming. The risk is real for the government, which was already hugely unpopular and as handled the crisis catastrophically (see below).

Government mistake includes:

- doing nothing for two months

- lying about the dangerousness of the virus

- saying that masks are useless for citizens yet requesting all available

- sending masks to China at the beginning of epidemic

- not restocking masks despite the existence of a pandemic emergency stock

- neglecting hospitals for decades (staff was striking a few months ago)

- battling the potential treatment of Pr. Raoult because of a personal feud between him and the ministry of health’s husband

- putting chloroquine under toxic medicine list just as the epidemic starts

- changing the layout of the paper need to present to police everyday

- enforcing confinement on a part of the population but not another one

- ... I probably forget a lot more

Sources: French media, friends, family and social networks.

People are genuinely angry at the govt response and some are already talking in insurrectional terms.

Can someone comment on the tradeoffs between Tailscale and ZeroTier?
Suppose Alice is permanently at home with only one caregiver. The system should never tell Alice that she has been in contact with a virus carrier because that will imply that the caregiver tested positive.

Instead, the system should rather tell Alice she may have been exposed to the virus and should get tested. Bloom filters can provide that uncertainty.
Regarding 3, upper estimates for the 2009 swine flu are north of 500k deaths and the 1918 Spanish flu is 50 million.

Flus can be very deadly and the poster obviously did not intend to use the word in a diminutive way. You added that interpretation, knowing it is wrong, and then challenged it.
Yep, especially for handling events (which I try to use sparingly :)). That was one thing jQuery had a great out of the box API for.
except the Spanish Flu killed more than World War 1 and 2 combined (est. 50 million dead from Spanish Flu)...
(Tailscale co-founder) This question goes through my mind a lot. I personally want it for myself. However there's a "weakest link" problem in identity management: if you have N identity managers merged together, then your account is only as secure as the weakest one of them. So connecting multiple identity providers to one account might be risky.

On the other hand, I really like Keybase's way of federating multiple identities together, where each additional identity provider increases rather than decreases confidence.
N95 masks need to go to hospitals first. They don't really make sense for the general public to be wearing. They are difficult to fit properly, and not comfortable for continuous wear. They are believed to be primarily needed when dealing with patients on oxygen / ventilators / etc.

Surgical masks do make sense for the general public. They are much easier to wear, and they still offer a good amount of filtration for the wearer. Plus they have the benefit you mentioned of preventing the wearer from infecting others.

Where surgical masks aren't available, cloth masks still appear to offer some benefit. And there are designs that include a pocket for paper filters.
The messaging on masks (CDC+WHO), the delay in declaring it a pandemic (WHO), beleving China (WHO), saying it's "not airborne" (in the technical sense it might not be but talking near someone can let it spread) are all abhorrent on their own. The total mismanagement and ass-covering will need to be paid for when this is over. The WHO and the CDC have lost a ton of credibility and need to be held accountable.
The US government can and does turn GPS off for certain regions of the globe when it feels the need to.

> Tit-for-tat works fine in one-shot interactions.

No. The whole point of tit-for-tat is that it's a good strategy for iterations. It's irrelevant for one-shot interactions.

This article is sort of aspirational and feel-good, but goes too light on the harsh reality that many negotiations are one-shot, and being the good guy in those is a great way to get creamed. (Been there.)
I have to disagree that "the other side" "did not impugn the potential of chloroquine". The opinion that it had been disproven was (and still probably is) widespread. If you were paying attention, I don't see how you could have missed all the fear-mongering about overdoses and side effects, the fish tank cleaner thing, and so on.

There are also a lot of people who think the same as we both do: that whatever happens in the future re: chloroquine, Trump should not be touting unproven treatments on TV. But the issue has clearly grown vastly more complicated than that, spreading through a game of telephone across hyper-opinionated social media bubbles. This is precisely the same effect Trump exploits with his thinly-veiled racist and sexist dogwhistles, etc., allowing him to say horrible things without actually saying them, but on the left/liberal side there's no leader coordinating the application of that interpretive force for political "good" (except, perhaps, Putin's troll farms).

We also agree that Trump is a terrible leader. I'd go further, and say that the blood of at least tens of thousands of Americans will be on his hands by the time this is all over. Unfortunately, his disapproval rate has fallen to just 50% and is still trending downward, and the persistence forecast says it'll keep going that way regardless of his gross negligence in managing this crisis. After all, the degree to which he's escaped accountability to date is astonishing. If we want to get rid of him, we need to do better than wandering through the trees of his playbook while losing sight of the forest.
> Fun about what exactly? If you mean farming to Upwork, not building is not fun for engineers.

Nope. Never said anything about "not building." Only you have stated that.

This circles back to my original question/statement; "I wonder why building a business and building a piece of software are so different"

> Building a business can be [fun]

Absolutely! Remove the words "a business" and restate that as:

"Building can be [fun]"

Now you can insert almost anything...

"Building a bike can be fun"
"Building a business can be fun"
"Building a product can be fun"
"Building software can be fun"
"Building a computer can be fun"
...
...
...

> Who wants to work in a business where the core product is boring

Remove the words "wants to" in that sentence and you could apply that statement to most of the Software Engineers who work for others. SE's typically work around this limitation by justifying it with the technology they are working on instead.

"I'm learning React!"
"I get to use Ruby on Rails everyday!"
"I get to learn more about using all the AWS services!"
...
...
...

None of that matters.

The only thing that matters is "building." Building is fun!

Why can't building a business be just as fun as building software? ...and we're right back to my original question :-)
There is no shortage of masks, just issues of procurement.

Masks are being sold to overseas buyers, so I assume they can resell them back to US entities at enormous markups.
Fitting things onto a 32MB cartridge isn’t a constraint anymore. Current consoles use 50GB discs and next-gen ones are going to use 100GB BD-XL discs. Makes it less necessary to do stuff like that.
Recoveries from slumps (business cycle down-turns) have been getting gradually slower over the decades for reasons not entirely understood. The cascading effect of job loss and purchase reductions causing each other to grow worse seems harder to undo these days.

We were overdue for a slump even without the virus such that we probably should assume it will progress (or not progress) like a typical modern slump, with its slow recovery.

Ideally we'd pay down the debt during the up times so that we can have big stimuluses during slumps. There's a lot of old infrastructure to be repaired in the US anyhow. Unfortunately Wash. DC lacks such discipline: they failed to save up for a rainy day, and it's pouring now.
