The other reply nailed it. There is a sort of calcium "hack" your body has for binding to the iron. Try IP-6, colostrum or milk/dairy. At some point your body just stops being able to do it, though. IP-6 to me seems to work even past that point.

Past that, mitigating absorption with green tea seems to help a bunch. And avoiding breakfast cereals. And boxed pasta. I haven't tried turmeric. Despite hearing good things, it seems difficult to source. Everything else pales in comparison to phlebotomy. Of course, you can't donate if you've got on/off fevers.

Also there's some relationship between vitamin D and iron. I'm not clear enough on that to recommend it just for iron, but I will say I do supplement with it, especially through the darker parts of the year.
> I'd be willing to bet even the worst students that graduate from top schools are still better than the lower end of average from average schools,

That may be true, but likely both of these have poor GPAs and thus are filtered out anyway. Usually you'll be evaluating candidates with at least a decent GPA.

I'm not claiming the average is the same between the two. But when there are a lot more average schools than top schools, chances are that numerically most good candidates do not come from top schools.

When I look at resumes of new grads, I ignore the school altogether. GPA has to meet some not-high threshold, and then it's just a peek at interesting projects they may have done.

Both are one time downloads with comparatively rare updates. Users can visit a place with WiFi for doing the download. The daily dataset of infected users however can't wait for manual prompting and is thus likely downloaded in the background. Users might not always be able to connect their devices to WiFi.

This actually isn't entirely on top of the typical deaths, as many of the folks dying of COVID are folks that were very likely to have died from their other underlying conditions anyway this year.

Especially now that we are counting all deaths in COVID-positive or presumed-positive individuals as COVID deaths regardless of cause of mortality.

Technology is deflationary. You get more done with less. Prices should be going down not up. The average steel worker now can produce thousands of times the amount of steel than their counterparts could a hundred years ago, yet they work more hours and receive less purchasing power for their time. Most all of this can be traced to regulations, like fiat currency and patent systems. If we had an honest society not based on grift the average person would be able to work a fraction of the time they have to now to make ends meet, which would let them have massively more free time to pursue what they wanted and may not hate doing some drudge work everyday. When I was a kid you could put yourself through college and rent an apartment delivering pizzas a few nights a week. In the 50's you could work a couple days a month to pay the rent. It is the attempts at social planning that drain the tech gains away from people. Ditch the fiat.

It's a lazy benchmark that compares two functions without clarifying that they do different things. If this article was pointing out that the numpy function had poor UX, that would be valid, but presenting a table that suggests Clojure does the same work 200 times faster is blatantly misleading. If you're going to write a custom implementation for one side of the benchmark you either need to (a) make sure it does the same thing as the other side of the benchmark or (b) write a custom implementation for both sides.

I find the discussion in the comments very interesting.

Yes, we could restructure society. More than hate, what worries me is the many people that can't find a way forward in the current world and the immense amount of wasted human potential.

We live in the world with most opportunities we have ever seen, and yet we are really poor on time and spaces to develop that potential. Maybe in the past we also didn't have that much time, but nowadays the dissonance in "what could be and what is" is definitely at an all time high.

But I believe the current crisis we are facing is a good opportunity to let everyone know how fragile capitalism is. I don't say everything is terrible with capitalism, but its need for an efficient market that needs to keep growing and becoming ever more efficient has some clear downsides. First, the consumism and the general stress it causes to the population with its relentless pace. Keep finding new ways to convince people that you are giving them something valuable. Otherwise you won't be competitive enough and you will fall. The second problem is the inflexibility during times of economic deceleration. So, if we have a pandemic and we must only provide essential services, what? Why does the world need to collapse? What kind of miserable system is this?

I think we could reach a social contract where we all contribute a bit on what we need to satisfy our basic needs, without having to work endless hours in miserable shifts, treated like production machines instead of what we are, which is humans.

But without a doubt, changing society seems extremely hard at this point. It's not like anyone owns the system. The monster has already grown under its own premises, and no one really holds a key or controls it.

From my perspective, the only thing we can do is try to find ways to free more time for people, and create spaces that exist outside the capitalist system, with as little relation to money as possible. You can't really convince everyone with an ideology. We need to slowly change the dynamics under which we live, and with that progressively shift the direction to which we walk. Sadly, this only tends to happen as enough people hit the wall, and that means an astounding and unnacceptable amount of suffering.

Still, I really wonder about people's potential. I'd like to live in a world like this just to see what would we be capable of. Would it be something extraordinary, or wouldn't it be that different from what we have now? I'd really want to see it.

Reducing the problems we currently have and giving everyone more space and time to pursue whatever they feel will fill their hearts is not such a big technological / technical problem as a problem of social organization, communication and consensus.
Daniel, can you please elaborate on this: "Unregulated spread by individuals is a solution" ? How do you envision it ? Virus is not an open source software, you cannot just "make your own copy" without a physical contact. :)

Her content comes off as "content marketing" and not someone who's managed and traded any sizable money. I wouldn't trade off her ideas, b/c it's heavy on philosophy and not grounded in the realities of trading.

You could probably hash the recording names/details and store that on a world-readable unique public URL and feed those to your users through internet archive links.
Everyone wants to believe they are the target market. That’s the problem.

What you should be doing is telling people what they need to hear and let the biggest layers figure out for themselves that they don’t work that way.

But we want to know what the big people are doing as if that will let us become big too.

But the bulk of what we do is reacting to situations, not creating them.
> The analysis, published on Friday by the New England Journal of Medicine, does not detail what other treatments the 61 hospitalized patients were given and data on eight of them were not included — in one case because of a dosing error.

It also did not include a control group.

Also:

>Twelve patients, 23%, had serious side effects including multiple-organ-dysfunction syndrome, septic shock and acute kidney injury.

But:

> 36 patients, or 68%, had an improvement in oxygen-support class, including more than half of the 30 patients receiving mechanical ventilation who had their breathing tubes removed.
A few problems - ok, so the there are more problems in the USD but:

a) What is the alternative? This is a relative game. Is the US going to fall harder than the EU? Probably not.

b) In an uncertain world ... people want greebacks even more for the structural reasons implied.

c) This trade deficit thinking is odd because it doesn't include surpluses. If sells something for 50 cents that would otherwise cost $100 in the US, and there is no other trade, then it still makes sense for everyone to buy said things for a long time. So China has to get something back for it, maybe it ends up meaning those XMen movies are going to cost them a lot more than they thought. Or the iPhones, or the US companies they buy or whatever else.
Please. I don't remember almost all economic activity ceasing because of AIDS, SARS, or Ebola. I certainly don't remember most of the US being under stay-at-home orders. This particular pandemic is an extreme outlier, so it's a black swan.
Washington especially, if you want to talk about US states that handled it well.
That's certainly fair, but the black plague also led to several economic benefits to the working and laboring class, so I do think there are typically economic benefits from a pandemic. Although, we'll see to what extent the stimulus and money creation might affect this.
Sadly this is not a randomized, double blind trial meaning the that we don't know if the patients wouldn't have improved on their own.

Interesting reddit comments here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/fyn1da/compassiona...
How many folks on HN have witnessed this same very thing within large mega-corps and government agencies? I've seen it a LOT.

The big bummer is that the crisis almost requires enabling behavior here, in the sense that if there are things wrong with said COBOL system, it's the fault of the NJ gov't for not fixing it a long time ago. People should rescue this for the sake of the unemployed, but can we please fire people for this?

This isn't a red state: They collect plenty of revenue. So IF IT IS COBOL SYSTEM, and not just bureaucrats, it's still NJ's fault.

As Bezos said recently regarding the Seattle city gov't:

They don't have a revenue problem. They have a spending efficiency problem.
I'm not sure I agree. It seemed moving to me to see these historical pictures come alive. It did not seem in bad taste to me.
Most people's ancestors of German heritage came over before the hyperinflation of the interwar period. I don't think there's much there.
It isn't that they needed to act in November. The virus was only taken seriously by the Chinese in December. However by mid-December no action has been taken by the US government. Only marginal action was seen in January, when it was a sure-fire knowledge that people would have gone to the US not knowing they had it.

Even now, there is inadequate provisions and action by the US. It was only in March when the US gov started rolling out testing and screening, finally fully committing to it. If they had started doing what they're doing now, in January, it's likely the US would have been on the tail-end of the pandemic by now.
We've changed the title now. (Submitted title was "Moxie's take on Apple/Google's “private” contact tracing framework")
It's not some foreign virus anymore. It's endemic everywhere. How many people die in any given place is now directly a result of the containment measures put into place there. You can't keep blaming this on China. Even places that have very tenuous connections to China are now experiencing massive death rates, because they aren't handling it well.
Yeah, my nightly build just got it. I hate it. I hate the new tab style too. And they got rid of dark mode?

Very nice to see some innovation in this space, I wish there were more novelties like this !

Like someone said in the thread, I know that Zulip has a similar system (although I've never used it): you have predefined "rooms", and inside each "room" you can start a new thread, with its own topic, much like a new email thread. From what I can see the home view can directly show all snippets from all conversations directly, without having to jump from room to room. Also, since you're not interested in _all_ the discussions in the room, you can only follow some. I guess it's the same for Braid ?

Speaking of similarities, Google Chat (the one for GSuite accounts) still has a similar model: you have rooms, and in each rooms you must create (unnamed) threads and you can chooses which one to follow (and be notified for). Unfortunately the UI is not very well done, all threads are stacked vertically so you can't switch from one to the other easily and a lot of screen estate is lost. I think this is where Braid might do things better.

One thing that Braid does is it essentially hides all the conversations you're not interested in. However sometimes I had to search for something I didn't really remember, and I only could find it because I had a rough idea about what appeared before or after, or the time it was said. Is there a way to do the same with Braid ?

Lastly, thank you for making this open source, it's rare enough that it needs to be underlined. Oh and I see matrix integration is on the roadmap ? Would that mean that Braid would essentially become a glorified matrix client ? I don't mean to sound negative, I'd really wish to try it but I can't use it if I have no one to talk to, so I'm gonna follow Braid closely in the future.
> If government action didn't kill demand, the ensuing death toll from letting the virus spread unchecked would eventually do it anyway.

2 million people dying in the United States isn't really that much. Given that COVID mostly affects people already more likely to die, the death toll had COVID gone unchecked would likely not be that much greater than the 2.8 million Americans that already die each year. Assuming a 30% overlap, we'd see deaths go from 2.8million to 4.2 million in one year, followed by herd immunity (according to the models). We'd then see subsequent years with a lower death rate (since there'd be fewer people with pre-existing conditions). It is unlikely that this would be as economically devastating as argued. It is incredibly unlikely it would have reduced air demand to the levels we're seeing now.

Air demand would still be around for flights to see family, etc. Most of it is gone due to government regulation. Necessary regulation for sure, but still regulation.

That's an interesting distinction. I think each resource should be self contained. Malformed HTML? HTML error. Malformed or missing image? Browser displays an image error.

The key here is that the web wasn't designed for engineers but for amateurs to slap something together sloppily in the first place.

As an aside it's curious how ridiculously forgiving HTML and JS are while CSS craps itself on a single missing semicolon. As though it were okay for the thing to be semantically and functionally malformed and malfunctioning... as long as it looks good!
