MILAN—In the town of Coccaglio, an hour’s drive east of here, the local nursing home lost over a third of its residents in March. None of the 24 people who died there were tested for the new coronavirus. Nor were the 38 people who died in another nursing home in the nearby town of Lodi.

These aren’t isolated incidents. Italy’s official death toll from the virus stands at 13,155, the most of any country in the world. But that number tells only part of the story because many people who die from the virus don’t make it to the hospital and are never tested.

In the areas worst hit by the pandemic, Italy is undercounting thousands of deaths caused by the virus, a Wall Street Journal analysis shows, indicating that the pandemic’s human toll may end up being much greater, and infections far more widespread, than official data indicate.

Italy’s hidden death toll shows what could lie in store for the worst-hit areas of the U.S., Europe and many other countries in the weeks ahead if the coronavirus is not tamed fast. The burden that the pandemic puts on health-care systems can cause so many deaths that it is hard to gauge the full human cost.

As stretched and sometimes overwhelmed hospitals fight to save their patients, many other people die unseen and uncounted, including elderly people in out-of-the-way locations. In addition, the health-care crisis can lead to a surge of deaths from other causes that would normally be treatable.
“There are many more dead than are officially declared. But this is not a j’accuse. People died and they were never tested because time and resources are limited,” Eugenio Fossati, deputy mayor of Coccaglio, says of deaths caused by the virus.

Properly tallying the number of deaths from the pathogen can help public-health officials map out a response to the pandemic, such as making sure hospitals are adequately equipped for the emergency. It can also influence how quickly and strictly governments should impose social-distancing measures, and for how long.

But collecting accurate data is challenging for Italy and many other countries, due to the speed of the pandemic and the fact that most countries’ public-health institutions are geared toward normal times.

The Lombardy region, where this funeral was conducted in Cigole, near Brescia, accounts for 58% of Italy’s official coronavirus deaths.

Three weeks after Italy became the first Western democracy to place its whole population under lockdown, the rate of contagion is slowing. But in the northern region of Lombardy, where the epidemic started and remains centered, infections had already spiraled out of control before the lockdown.

The provincial cities of Bergamo and Brescia are the two worst hot spots, and have become symbols of Italy’s suffering.

In and around those two towns, the real number of deaths is probably at least double the official count of 2,060 in March for Bergamo and 1,278 for Brescia since the outbreak began in late February, according to interviews with local officials, doctors and funeral-service providers and comparisons with the numbers of deaths from past years.

People are also dying of other ailments because hospitals are too overloaded with coronavirus cases to give them the treatment they need, doctors and local officials say.

Some 85 people died in the whole of last year in Coccaglio, a town near Brescia of 8,700 residents. In March of this year alone, the town’s main church bell has sounded the death knell 56 times. Only 12 of the deaths were officially attributed to the coronavirus.

“We know the real number is higher, and we mourn them, knowing full well why they died,” says Mr. Fossati, the deputy mayor. “It’s a hard truth to accept.”

Another problem is that the number of virus carriers is also vastly undercounted. Italy has reported about 111,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, but testing is mostly limited to those who show symptoms. Many virus carriers with no symptoms aren’t tested. Officials and health experts estimate the true number of infected people at anywhere from hundreds of thousands to six million.

The uncertainty about the death toll and the number of infected people makes it difficult to establish the true fatality rate of Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus. Estimates by epidemiologists of the fatality rate still range widely, but it is generally thought to be between 1% and 3% of those infected.
How to create a simple blog using Django 3 – part 1
While I totally agree with your last paragraph, just keep in mind that most of those in HN are still really lucky, even if layed-off. Getting angry after only job-hunting for three days seems a little over the top. There are a lot of unemployed service workers who won't be able to afford food or rent, and others who are forced to work in dangerous conditions without PPE. And then there are the nurses and doctors at the front line....

That's definitely incorrect.
Visual 6502 emulates the CPU not just at a logical level (performing equivalent instructions) but at a silicon level, simulating each transistor in the original chip at an electrical level as closely and as accurately as possible. This is far more intensive, as there's a whole bunch of state to maintain and thousands upon thousands of tiny components that need to remain in perfect sync. Of course the goal here is not to run the processor at anything resembling real-time speeds. Quite the opposite; the developers have created a marvelous way to slow down the components so that humans can observe each tiny step, which normally takes a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second on the physical chip.
If the ruling voting to overturn on these grounds were 6-3 I'd guess it was 4 repubs, plus Soto and RGB. If it were 8-1 I'd guess it was 4 repubs + 4 dems, with Thomas dissenting. Edit: Well, nah, it'd be some breakdown with concurrences in part.

Congratulations to yourself as the author reached his target audience and I'm sure the author is happy with your response :D
Your whole argument is based around “if you have good model...”. This where most all control theory falls on its face. Getting a good is hard. For lqr that model better be mostly linear.

Oh, you system model isn’t first order? Now you need an estimator/Kalman filter. Or more sensors. That’s just more complexity for questionable benifit, which is why lqr is beloved by academics [0]. For anything that would be adaquetly controlled with pid, stick with that. After about 2 hours fiddling with the knobs, it’ll be close enough.

This whole idea of optimality is based on bad intuition. Which states do you care about? Why? Is that more valuable than control effort? Why? Who is doing the economic analysis to determine what ultimately costs us more money? In the end, this thing are tuned just like pid: you stop when the step response looks nice. Besides all that, for a lot of systems, and in particular flexible structures with a lot of states, “penalizing state excursions” isn’t really useful intuition to begin with for almost all state space represtations. You are better off with a pid and notch filter.

[0] I decided to complete my PhD in controls so could make statements like that with at least marginal credibility.
I think there is also a downside to this: suicide rates due to isolation. I’ve got no data, it’s just a hunch.
You can print money because US dollar is used as in international exchange. Oil prices are in USD. Basically, printing money will transfer the economic burden to all others.

If third parties start using other currencies, printing money won't help.

I played SNES games emulated on a 66MHz 486/DX2 using an emulator named "esnes". No sound[1] and translucency was more miss than hit, but good enough to play through the entirety of ChronoTrigger. It was pretty cool to play a current (if aging) system emulated on a PC.

1: Sound was eventually implemented, I don't remember if it was before or after I upgraded to a Pentium though.

Wrong. 20MHz is the channel width (bonded together to make 40, 80 and 160MHz aggregate channels). There are three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz band (so 60) and "many" in the existing 5GHz allocation. In some countries there's an extra usable channel in 2.4GHz. Once you bloat up to 160MHz (which is needed to achieve the highest marketing speeds) it is hard to find clear gaps in today's 5GHz because it isn't contiguous.
How strict of a requirement is a personal website? :)
You're replying to Tobi the CEO and founder of Shopify who recently and very publically posted about 40 hour work weeks and how Shopify lives and breathes work life balance which multiple employees confirmed.

I don't know him from a bar of soap outside of what's shared publically but a cold, calculating executive is about as far from the mark as you could possibly be.
Beats JSX. Why have a render() method with all that complicated JSX. Just store this stuff in state. This could be the next hooks. You could add callbacks to this structure too.

"data": [
"-h1 =My post",
"^ul li = I am list item 1",
"ul li = I am list item 2",
"ul li = I am list item 3",
"-ul li = I am a different list item 1",
{ xpathish: "ul li = I am a different list item 2", doer: function() {alert();} }
]
80MHz is common, 160MHz exists.
And PostgREST, if we're counting out of the box useful web technologies.

What's your source on that? Doesn't seem likely to me.
Nope. Have to resort to chrome extension to get the tile view.
Yeah, that just seems to be dog whistling to me. A native speaker isn't going to think "reitna" is right but "retina" is not. It's just poor QA IMO.

Create setup.cfg (it is better than setup.py, since it is declarative) listing immediate dependencies, use requires.txt as a lock file (I prefer to use pip-compile from pip-tools).
It could prevent an app from posing as "System" in the prompt for starters.
You are right strictly speaking, but misleading. In the vast majority of cases of people dying with COVID-19 from another condition, COVID-19 is the reason why this other condition became lethal. That's why it makes sense to attribute the death to COVID-19.
By contrast the device I call “my phone” is almost never used for dialing & speaking to someone else.
Lyapunov functions indicate Lyapunov stability. A system that is Lyapunov Stable will settle into a global minimum state and stay there stably indefinitely. Kind of like a ball in a bowl, where all gradients point in to the middle. Non linear systems can "refuse to settle". I may be misremembering something from my controls courses

Wait, did you do that on purpose? :)
Personally, I'd prefer a more explicit declaration, which is also legitimate CSS, as in:

html > body > h1 { content: "Example"; }
html > body > h1 + p { content: "First Paragraph"; }
html > body > h1 + p + p ( content: "Second Paragraph"; }
html > body > h1 + p + p + ul > li:first-child { content: "A List Item"; }
(etc)

Mind how missing content or copy text, like the second paragraph being omitted, may be easily detected!
Good summary. One additional thing to point out is the upper bound of the first case is the total covid deaths counted, whereas the upper bound of the second could be much larger.
So who gets the NYSE:S symbol?

It already has that, if you create setup.cfg you can generate wheel package which can be installed with all dependencies using a single command.

Try to reduce the burden on whoever is surviving you. When my parents passed, it was overwhelming.

1) every year or two, print out your password manager and put it in your fire safe (or wherever you keep your passports and other important documents). Tell your family members where it is. For all accounts with 2fa, think about adding a second device. Don't forget the password to unlock your computer, and the password to unlock your password manager.

2) for photos and videos, I'd recommend managing them with something you own. I'm using PhotoStructure. Add a note in the passwords folder about where your server is, where any backups are, and if you've got any cloud hosting.

3) for social media accounts, I'd just list them with your passwords. When my parents passed, I posted on their accounts to notify their friends and coworkers of their passing, and funeral details.

4) email accounts will probably need to be kept open until all accounts have changed over to the survived. This probably won't be done quickly.

5) have a list of accounts that require subscriptions to make it easier to either close or transfer.

6) write a will. There are online services that make this easier.
Let me just add (in addition to what you wrote, all of which I've experienced) that I literally (using the term correctly here) had to /beg/ them to take my money ($7500, I think).

Very long story, but long story short, I needed the tool urgently (this was pre-Ghidra), like hours & days mattered. I am a small company, they were "skeptical" of me and my intentions, they demanded all sorts of paperwork and IDs, etc. It was seriously as though it was a dark comedy nightmare.

Everything you wrote is true. So many people fellate IDA given the chance; I don't know what they're smoking. The product is clunky and ugly (but it mostly works), but as you said, it's got very little competition. I and a few of my colleagues (and many here on HN) could probably do a better job, but I don't want to live in that world.

Man, I think I got pretty far afield there, but your comment resonated with me. Thank you.
I think there are some important steps between Maxwell and 1950 that are worthy of mention. Black's paper on negative feedback amplifiers, for one; the invention of the PID controller itself, for another...
Now that all major browsers support WebRTC [1] why isn’t it used more for video calls instead of proprietary solutions from Google, Microsoft, Zoom, etc.? Are there security flaws or ease of use barriers that prevent wider adoption? Is it simply lack of marketing/awareness?

It really depends on how much close real-time collaboration is actually needed in your job. For some jobs/companies that may be high, for others where the work is done more independently, that may not be an issue.

I've done a fair bit of remote contracting from Asia working with team members in the U.S. and Europe and haven't had many issues since we're mostly working independently. Actually I'm currently in Japan/Korea working with NYC - probably the most inconvenient timezone difference (9am-5pm EST -> 10pm-6am Korea), but for my current project it's not really that bad since we're mostly independent and I'm a night owl anyways (also we have developers in Europe and India where the time difference isn't as drastic).

I'm not claiming that timezone is completely irrelevant because it does make a difference, but I think the bigger factor is the individual. I've had more difficulty getting in touch with team members in the same timezone than other team members in opposite timezones. In my experience, corporate culture overvalues the importance of being immediately available (not surprising given their open embrace of open offices and reluctance to adopting remote work) and underestimates the disruption and the productivity of deep, focused, uninterrupted work (eg. see Cal Newport).

We all have our individual work preferences. Regardless of what anyone's individual preferences are, I hope we see a trend towards greater freedom of choice in enabling workers to work how they are most comfortable.

You don't even need twitchy hardware. Ubuntu goes into an unescapable X server restart loop if you are out of space on the root partition when booting, and has no other obvious remedy than booting to rescue mode.

I don’t have any hard data, but LA mayor Garcetti mentioned in one of his briefings this week that while the total number of accidents has gone down, the number of ‘severe’ accidents has increased, due to speeding, ignoring traffic signals/stop signa, and a general increase in pedestrian/bicycle traffic

That’s just the absurd example. How do you call it when someone dies five minutes early because they got a stuffy nose? How about a day early? A year early?

The coroner is supposed to make these judgements, and it’s not entirely clear how you should aggregate them into a big-number statistic. If you go by official cause of death, nobody dies of a cold in most countries. If you go by a positive test, loads of people do.
Very much not "the flu".

As far as getting old jobs back, many companies will cease to exist unless bailout money magically sustains them, which it likely won't.

Many businesses were weak, operating with high debt and thin margins. The math that allowed them to continue to exist just got destroyed, they aren't coming back. No cash flow, no cash reserves means no ability to service that debt. Taking on additional debt to bridge this crisis would create a new level of future debt service that isn't sustainable with previously good revenues.

Disposable income is going to be gone for many until we get a vaccine rolled out in 18-24 months. Hospitality, travel, foodservicr, events and entertainment industries will be decimated until we reach herd immunity.

It's actually the opposite. Shortwave (3-30Mhz) goes around the world whereas a high frequency such as 5G (5Ghz) cell data you have to have a node on every light pole.

Shortwave is 100 to 10 meters wavelength compared to 5G which has wavelengths measured in millimeters.
