I watched contagion with a couple of friends right before shelter in place went into effect last month. We were all blown away by how accurate it was. One last person came over late that said maybe try outbreak. We turned it off 15 minutes in to watch contagion again.

Research shows that "more than 70% of NRDs are “malicious” or “suspicious” or “not safe for work.” This ratio is almost 10 times higher than the ratio observed in Alexa’s top 10,000 domains."

Yeah, I started to go there earlier, but stopped myself.

Doctors seem to be doing a better job of informing patients (or families) of those issues before intubating, especially if they have multiple risk factors, and a surprising number of cases have opted not to vent.

But also:

1) There are quite a few really sad stories of patients getting dropped at the ED curb by a spouse as if they'll get checked out and be right back out to go home, only to be immediately intubated and sedated, and ultimately dying without family by their side and no chance to say goodbyes.

They now make a lot of effort to make phone calls or video chats to family before intubating anyone, but it's still rough without anyone being able to be there, and then not being able to speak either. And it just adds to the weight of what the nurses have to deal with, emotionally.

2)There's also the murky topic of straining hospital resources. You obviously don't know ahead of time who the 10-30% of survivors will be and you want to save whoever you can, and hopefully we never get to the point of true rationing. But...

It's hard to be blind to the fact that it's a huge amount of risk, resources, and physical & emotional effort that are seeing relatively little success. I don't have an answer. Hopefully we get better at it.
I am most uneasy with the legality and normalization of the lobby footage. I wonder if the residents of that building have been alerted to their exposure on this?

The residents may have signed away their rights to surveillance footage being shared with 3rd party "partners" like in many privacy agreements in U.S. If that's the case, it probably wasn't clear to them what they were signing, and how the footage would be used.

Now that this has come to light, I wonder if the next chapter involves some legal action from these residents? Would they have a case?

NYC has really progressively renters rights and many public advocacy groups who may want to study the rental agreements that make this stuff possible.
That's an important guideline, but not having flamewars takes precedence, the same way that not burning a house down takes precedence over heating it.

Maybe you didn't mean to start a flamewar but you're definitely feeding it, so please stop.

There is strong evidence COVID-19 was not circulating in the Bay Area in January. Samples collected by the Seattle Flu Study in Jan/Feb 2020 have been retested and COVID-19 was not found before Feb 21. As Trevor Bedford says, had COVID-19 been circulating in CA it almost certainly would have showed up quickly in WA. There is other evidence based on the genetics of sequenced viruses. Details:

These numbers need to be seriously scrutinized for everyone's sake. Hospitals are now financially incentivized to claim as many Coronavirus hospitalizations/deaths as possible so they get their piece of the stimulus package.
People will accept that. Pair it with a trendy automotive themed name that ends with the suffix 'ly' and pass it off as "a different type of car company".
How many digits does the number 125^100 have?
Im breaking my head here :(
Also for anyone looking at NZ/Australia graphs, a large number of the cases are people returning from overseas that are detected (it is estimated there are 1 million NZers overseas, 5 million left). This has the effect of making the exponential growth look slow (unless the community transmission goes out of control, but both countries appear to be preventing uncontrolled CT).
As you noted, TM is closed-source. However, GM is very sparsely developed after the switch to webextensions—still no script management interface, as far as I can see. TM whips it in terms of features. VM appeared recently in the FF land, and my guess is, it's for those who hope for faster development—however dunno if those hopes are realized, feature-wise.

Did you even read the article? I’ve been wanting something like this for a while. It’s a solid engineering decision that needs good marketing to make sure people understand that it’s good for battery life.
Another note on mortality tracking is that everyone is staring themselves blind on corona-related deaths, and comparing between countries, and exclaiming that the higher the death rate per capita is, the more of a failure the country's policies are.

But this isn't necessarily true. You have to look at the total mortality, and the excess mortality. If a country has high corona mortality, but no excess mortality, it means that most people dying from coronavirus are people who normally would have died from something else anyway. And whatever policies that country has have to be good enough.

If a country has high corona mortality and excess mortality, then it's fair to say that that country's policies aren't enough, and it's fair to have the discussion whether you could do more or should do more.
Especially because the same people always compare the numbers with influenza, which are almost entirely based on statistics and comparison to previous years. For example in Germany in 2017 25000 people died of influenza (the bad flu year), but people which had a confirmed death due to influenza (i.e. Being tested positive and died of it) were something like 300 IIRC.

Don't get me wrong I think it's perfectly valid to use statistics for estimating the impact/IFR but you can't like many people with an agenda pick and choose your counting methods.
I think IRC will always have a place in certain communities.

I drop into IRC whenever I need help with an Arduino project or want to catchup with old colleagues. From my own personal experience, all the open source communities I get involved with use IRC and I have never known one use Matrix, sometimes this is for personal reasons and sometimes for work. This probably depends on what techie circles you move in.

I've also noticed IRC is more popular in certain countries. Anecdotally Brazil and Sweden seem to have fairly large communities of nontechnical people on IRC.

Maybe for some people, IRC does what they want and they don't need any updated spec.

It's the first time I see news about the aircraft carrier. Could someone summarize why the captain got fired for testing his whole crew in an environment where a lot of people have to live very closely together? My first assumption is that it was a really good decision.
Sigh, another feel-good law being proposed with no consideration for second or third order effects.

Tech companies would be required to police their systems for this data. There’s no good automated way to do this, so an army of compliance workers would be needed if you have a non-trivial amount of content on your platform. For small tech companies, this would be prohibitively expensive.

Then there’s the 800lb gorilla in the room: the encryption issue. How can a company police its content if it doesn’t know what it is? Are we really suggesting that every end-to-end encryption technology be nuked in favor of “saving the children?” How many children will it really save? And how many others will it endanger in oppressive, dictatorial regimes? Not to mention the myriad other criminals seeking to exploit unencrypted and non-private technologies?

This is akin to vehicle manufacturers being required to monitor the audio of vehicle occupants at all times in case a rape occurs.

“Think of the children.” This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. It’s disgusting.

I’m counting the days until Feinstein leaves office. EARN IT causes more harm than good.
I am familiar with these drawbacks, having worked as a research assistant doing RT-PCR and qPCR. My understanding from a brief stint in industry is that there is a lot more quality control to be found in industrial and diagnostic labs than is typically found in a research lab. So I imagine there is still an appreciable amount of false positives even in a diagnostic lab, but they do have a lot more quality control in place to reduce it.
There is strong evidence against that, based on retesting flu survey samples collected in Seattle in Jan/Feb 2020. https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1249414291297464321
I will never argue that the founders are not acting wisely - they've got no moral imperative to go public. As you say, there's far cheaper capital on offer. Rather, it's a systemic failing. They would pay an undeniable cost by going the IPO route, but it would be to the benefit of their employees and the public at large.

Private markets being so flush with cash while regular folks are strapped, on the other hand, is a sign that the tax code is too lenient and we should be re-purposing those dollars for societal benefit. _There_ is the moral failing.
I think you are vastly underestimating my spontaneous and lazy nature.

The reason I submitted this was, incidentally, that I discovered I am Jewish. My father was the first to marry outside of the faith, so it’s apparently a long lineage.

I’m not sure how to feel. Reactions range from “So what?” to “I have a culture?”

I’ve been at least trying to study some history.

It’s still kind of amazing it never came up once. It was almost accidental that I found out at all. (Random census question my wife didn’t know the answer to, which led to my father’s brother mentioning it.)
More people are found dead at home because during a lockdown-at-home you're simply more likely to be at home at any given point in time overall, obviously.
Ask HN: Affordable K8s for individuals?
Hey guys,

I currently have a single node root server which runs via Docker several applications (Nextcloud, Synapse, VPN, ...). If I need to apply security patches/updates I need to reboot this machine which takes all my services down. Due to my work as an IT Architect I am familiar with Kubernetes. I kinda like the idea to have a Kubernetes which runs the applications in a HA cluster. The last couple days I tried to create with three root servers and a private empty vlan a cluster myself (based on Microk8s or LXD/Juju). But due to a missing vswitch in this vlan it was for me at least kinda impossible to create a HA Cluster.

So my question basically is, do you guys run your own Kubernetes cluster? And if yes how do you achieve it? Is it affordable? Because buying Azure, AWS and co doesn’t seem like to be affordable for private persons

I think you underestimate how effective proper sterile technique is. If all the equipment is available, and the staff appropiately trained, there should be a very small chance of becoming infected. In some countries this is not the case, but some places have demonstrated that they can keep their frontline workers from getting infected.
I recently wrote a tiny alternative to the mentioned webpack plugin https://github.com/nfour/TinyWebpackUserscriptPlugin

Using it in this project with some userscripts (see webpack.config.ts): https://github.com/nfour/userscripts

Tampermonkey seems like the best script manager for developer experience (as far as I could tell from trying the others) when configured as recommended (removing cache checks etc.), though it still requires 2 page refreshes to show changes.

If anyone knows of an improved workflow I'm all ears. I'd like to see something closer to webpack hot reloading, though I suspect we either need a new script manager, or a userscript framework that can be configured to hotswap code.

Perhaps browser managed content scripts will be viable? https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/604
I can point you to plenty of comments complaining that the site and mods have an overwhelming political bias in direction $whatever-you-want. Not sure if that's what you're asking for.
I disagree. Leetcode and related sites have problem descriptions that are often vague or nonsensical. Just figuring out what the author is trying to say is more of a challenge than the actual program sometimes.

No it's just a sign that they aren't comfortable running a full on controlled experiment yet. Only 2 deaths out of 113 severe in a week is far better than baseline.

I don't think the intent is the same. It may be that current interviews have outcomes that aren't egalitarian, but I haven't personally seen any evidence that would suggest that interview questions are specifically chosen to discriminate against a particular minority.

To be clear, I'm not saying the interview process is good or perfect or shouldn't be interrogated.
What I’ve learned in my career as a Data Scientist
The 2% number is 2% of people who have bad symptoms die. 0.37% is 0.37% of all people who get it, including those who have mild/no symptoms die. It simply means a much larger percentage of people get it, not that any less people are dying. I’d say there’s a good chance that many of us have gotten it, and spread it, without knowing it.

Whitworth's method of scraping (mentioned in this article) is explained in this 1858 paper:

I find myself writing debugging tools all the time. For example, our logs are overwhelming because our developers use them for debugging and then never remove their logging statements. So finding anything in them is next to impossible, and it's often interleaved with a bunch of other junk that's meaningless to you. And fixing the logging system we use would to make this work better would also be a huge task.

So a little while ago we needed to log some info to figure out where 2 parallel sets of calculations were going wrong. So I wrote some logging that output the info to a file instead of the main log, and then wrote a simple parser to read them in and display them side-by-side in a nice hierarchical tree structure. It made something that normally takes us a week to work out only take a few hours. It's something we'll never ship to customers, but helps us enormously.

I'm finding myself writing more and more stuff like that these days.

I’m not saying one is a requirement for the other, just that you don’t have to worry about the battery-removed state when it doesn’t exist.

From the tear downs I’ve seen, it seems like the primary motivation for the non-removable battery is so they can cram it into every spare piece of space.

A removable battery requires its own protective shell, which costs weight and thickness. When it's not user serviceable, it can just be a bag of acid resting on the main board, piggybacking on the device's own case for the required protection.

I really like the idea of Paperspace and I've tried to get going a few times on the free plan but I hate notebooks. I didn't fully understand the server + gpu offerings, which is what I want. I would love it if I could just get an IP to scp some scripts to, then ssh in and run them. I don't think it's possible to get billed only for GPU time when you're running it this way though, so it would be pricey to keep the server up.
These were among the very first cases in Germany where capacity was abundant, hence the low fatality rate.

Also, this is a “up to now” value, more cases might turn out fatal.

“Only” 7 deaths is furthermore not a good data basis for calculating this number.

Moreover, the report is not even public nor peer reviewed. So I can’t even cite it here. However you find criticism of the study by Prof. Streeck online.
- Swagger is not the only API Spec framework. I think rather than serious REST APIs having Swagger, good APIs have (auto-generated) client libs.

- in REST, you have no default way of querying data related to the current path. Of course, you can use frameworks for that (filtering, hydrating references, etc.). In GraphQL, you have entry queries and the rest is graph traversal, and that is basically the default (and of course, it does come with its disadvantages)

- on auto-generated schema: the interesting thing here is not whether you have auto-generated schemas etc. at all, but how well the data relations can be surfaced, explored and accessed on the API level. GraphQL enabled this in a different way compared to REST, and I would dare say it is a more delightful way.

As a client, given a Swagger API Documentation and a GraphQL Schema, I would prefer exploring the GraphQL Schema, just to find out what the API is about.

I don't mean to attack your recent revelation, but my understanding was that Judaism is matrilineal, so if your mother isn't Jewish and you don't practice then you're not Jewish (unless this has made you want to convert). It's also certainly possible I don't fully understand the situation or the custom.
One of my colleagues loathes competitive programmers and picks much harder problems for them. His grumpy rationale is that they shouldn't have it any easier just because they do interview problems as a sport. Usually the ICPC world finalist types will still ace it since he's too dunning-kruger to judge beyond his own skill level.

I thought there had been cases of people getting reinfected, and that how long the immunity lasts seemed to correlate to how sick you'd been. So the immunity of asymptomatic people wouldn't last very long. Maybe it'll last long enough to make a dent in the infection rate?
Might be worth trying Linux on that. At least you'd have more control over the sleep issues.

I have a Dell Precision 7540 that I was having issues getting sleep to work. It would panic on resuming I think because of WiFi but I couldn't fix it. So I enabled "hybrid-sleep" which is like hibernate and sleep together. Before it sleeps, it flushes the RAM to disk. When it wakes up, it tries to boot from RAM and, if successful, it deletes the hibernation data. But if it crashes before it deletes the files, you just reboot and it resumes from disk. So I never "lose" my status but 95% of the time my computer resumes normally.

There are certainly other frustrating bits with Linux, but at least the flexibility to fix the issues is within your grasp. That was my biggest gripe with OSX and Windows. You just aren't always able the fix the issue and it's very mentally painful (for me). :P
