The comparison between the two countries is so difficult. The population of Iceland is around 360K, while South Korea is over 51 million (~140x). The population density is in the same order, 3 per Km^2 to 500 per Km^2 respectively (~160x).
So everyone, including frightened elderly people, is supposed to have a prior that the president is a liar and should be ignored, and thus it is acceptable for Trump to say what he wants? That's a frankly bizarre approach.

Exactly this. I compared it to Samsung S10e and in terms of size new iPhone SE and Samsung S10e are really close:

(HxWxD in mm)

S10e: 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9; mass 150g; screen 5.8"

SE: 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3; mass 148g; screen 4.7"
You can remove the first k elements of a view with data += k.

With the length you would need to do data += k; length -= k

Especially if you want to use it as safe iterator, you can do data++ in a loop

Again, just my two cents, but in looking for full-time, contract-based, permanent, non-tenure-track teaching positions in the northeast of the US, I found no shortage of schools eager to make offers to someone with the right background. Here, "right background" means previous teaching experience, good evaluations, and extensive work in industry, as well as a killer demo lecture.
One example: https://www.sony.com/electronics/headband-headphones/wh-1000...

It's pretty interesting seeing some of my peers who second-careered into medicine. They had experience which paid dividends throughout school and residency that will serve them well.

I also have no idea how I would manage full time school and having children to raise.

It looks like Azithromycin is for clearing bacterial pneumonia. Certainly this is a possible and probably common complication of viral pneumonia caused by COVID-19, but I'm sure doctors are well aware of ways to treat secondary bacterial pneumonia.

Just looking at what doctors are saying about Zinc, it seems like there could be something to it, especially if an individual is Zinc deficient, but it's not at all clear it's anything like a silver bullet.

https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=2...

We have no idea what the mechanism of action if for HCQ. My doctor friend tried looking it up and it seemed like there are many possible pathways, many of which are still being researched, that modify immune response. There was one statement that speculated if HCQ could act directly on viral particles by changing pH near a key molecule. My attitude is, great if it works, but we still are very far from knowing that for certain.

One thing that I think is worth keeping in mind is that if a medicine kills 1% of the people we give it to, and we give it to a large number of people relatively indiscriminately, it's about as bad as COVID, which kills 1-5% of victims (though as much as 15% for high risk patients).

This is a good thing. Coming up with new ideas is for researchers. Turning them into a product is for entrepreneurs and engineers. One of the reasons I see so much promise in ai startups is because the research has matured to a point where anyone can take it off the shelf and apply it to their domain. Similar to the web, there was a few early companies that did great things with novel engineering, but most of the value generated was CRUD apps built on top of frameworks like Ruby on rails.
I'm going to note this:

The body is the landscape where this battle gets fought. "Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." is a treatment policy that should be expected to result in some patients dying.

> was no different than supportive care alone (p=0.413).

Yes, exactly, p=0.413 corresponds to a coin toss, or as the authors of the paper put it "no different".

The p=0.51 figure seems to be a typo in the abstract. If you read the content of the paper, it says

> The hydroxychloroquine group also had a strong but not statistically significant trend towards worsening NLR (p=0.051).

So I believe they just accidentally moved the decimal place, and they are correctly avoiding calling the result statistically significant, but it is close.
> Face masks have been shown to be effective at controlling pandemics, and apparently no one (in many western countries) thought to stockpile those.

You're dropping the context of the hard decisions nations and governments actually deal in day to day, year to year when it comes to budgets. That's why not a single country had a proper stockpile of N95 masks for a pandemic like this. That isn't an exaggeration: literally not one nation had enough of a stockpile for this scenario, that includes South Korea, Japan, China.

To say that nobody thought to do it is outlandish. As one example Congress set aside funds in 2006 to stockpile 100 million N95 masks. That's not strange, as many people were aware of the need to maintain such a stockpile. There is a big difference between being aware of the need, proposing plans and spending for it, and actually getting billions of dollars on a recurring basis to maintain the necessary proper stockpile perpetually with no event to push it with (yeah but we had a flu pandemic in 1957! try selling that premise). That's the actual reality of budgets and governments.

It's expensive to maintain a persistent minimum stockpile of 1 billion non-expired N95 masks to cover the US population and the demand the US has seen. If it's a year-long pandemic, a billion masks isn't enough. You need several billion masks in that scenario. Coming out of the great recession, that is a very hard budget decision for all nations. And the fact is, most nations can't afford to do it at all. The easy retort of course is to say, well, look at the damage from this virus compared to that cost for masks. That's purely hindsight spouting that tries to pretend a comprehensive reality doesn't exist and that people who make budgets don't have to deal with difficult decisions every single year (while not factoring in every possible bad scenario every time they make a budget).

And let's not pretend it's enough to stockpile masks, regarding spending allocations. If we're doing hindsight fantasy, let's be correct about it. You need to constantly maintain a lot of other gear and training for a pandemic, costing large sums of money. In an ideal scenario a nation the size of the US should probably have over a million ventilators stockpiled, just in case. We should probably maintain 2x or 3x the ICU capacity we have, on a persistent basis and at a large cost.

This isn't an argument against being more prepared. Of course every nation should have a vast magical stockpile of N95 masks that never depletes, even the ~140 poor nations of the world that can't afford to do it. The point is, it's difficult to convince any nation to do it at the required persistent scale, and most can't afford to do it regardless.
You're assuming that political elites all care more about the general population (which as you've noted, there is a large, expendable surplus of) than consolidating and increasing their own power.

To clarify, I don't think COVID19 was a Chinese conspiracy, just making note of historically self evident incentive structures that others seem naively oblivious to.

The AI Stem Drive, an AI/ML Approach to Post-Scarcity
For the past ten years, I've been slowly putting a theory together which draws on our scientific understanding of multiple fields of research (psychology, sociology, economics, physics (notably thermodynamics), and of course ML/AI.

In 2018, I founded Phobos Technologies as a platform to begin the heavier aspects of the research needed for the further development of STEM Theory, The AI STEM Drive and The STEM Epiconomy.

I wanted to know whether or not it was feasible to create a sociopolitical structure that would simply mute the motives for corporate and political corruption.

While listening to a podcast about The Self-Determination Theory of Motivation I realized that the theory I was working on might actually make post-scarcity possible, among several other benefits. It was at this point that I decided to take my research to the next level, so I founded Phobos Technologies and began a more diligent research effort.

I have finally launched The STEMPrime Researchcast. The first several months will be a detailed outline of STEM Theory, The AI STEM Drive, The STEM Epiconomy, The STEMPrime Epiconomic Simulations, and the supporting scientific literature. After I'm confident I have provided enough information for the average listener to be able to hold a constructive conversation on the topic, I will begin the research interview phase.

I already have several field experts who are willing to talk with me on the researchcast concerning this project. I believe this will be one of the most important steps of the research phase; a sort of publicized peer-review of STEM Theory work.

I expect the research phase to last anywhere from one year to several years, depending on whether or not STEM Theory holds and the quality of the interviews.

You may find The STEMPrime Researchcast at: https://anchor.fm/stemprime/ and The AI STEM Drive's home page at: https://stemdrive.ai/

I hope you find this as fascinating as this journey has been for me :)
I stand corrected! I still believe I'm correct on cars and furniture though. :)
FaceID is better than front or in-screen fingerprint readers but I greatly prefer fingerprint readers on the back of the phone. It's right where your finger naturally rests when taking the phone out of your pocket so the phone is unlocked before it even leaves your pocket. Plus you can pull down the notification bar with it one-handed without having to awkwardly stretch to reach it on large devices.
I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the case, at least not for me. I actually own a pair of Bluetooth earphones, which I use at the gym. They do well, I don't have to worry about the cable or accidentally hitting the phone in my pocket when picking up weights. They have a reliable connection, sound is decent.

But I have hundreds of dollars invested in good-quality wired headphones, plus wired earbuds, and I want to be able to use those with my phone without needing to re-spend that money. Plus, regardless of quality of the product, I'm occasionally a forgetful human. I've actually run out of juice mid-workout with my wireless set. Instead of not having music for the rest of my workout (I like music!), I simply walked over to my bag, pulled out my wired earbuds, and finished up.

Not having the ability to do that is a deal-breaker for me on a phone, and it's not something that can be fixed by improving the Bluetooth tech. While this is obviously anecdotal, I don't imagine I'm the only person who feels this way.
In an ideal world, no one would have to take on extra responsibilities for being born outside the average. I'm 6'5". I eat more than someone who's 6'0". It sucks that I'm taxed because of the way I was born.
> good evidence that the Basic Reproduction Number is somewhere between 2-3.

May be about double that. Per wiki article, I noticed this a few days ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_outbreak_of_no...)

"Initial estimates of the basic reproduction number (R0) for COVID-19 in January were between 1.4 and 2.5,[381] but a subsequent statistical analysis has concluded that it may be much higher.[382]"

From that link wiki provided (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0282_article) (edit: and note this is published on the CDC website)

"...we calculated a median R0 value of 5.7 (95% CI 3.8–8.9)"

So this sucks harder then.
Here's my attempt to validate the claim: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2019-01-01%202...

I'll leave it for readers to determine whether it holds up.
A lot of people complain that Face ID doesn't work when they wear skiing gear or a mask. I'd argue that most humans can't identify me when I wear a mask, so it's a bit hard to expect my phone to do better.

I do prefer Face ID for almost everything except payments. Apple pay with Touch ID was a much better experience. The awkward double tap + stare at my phone for 2 seconds isn't great. Having an Apple Watch makes this much better but I do miss placing my phone near the reader and putting my finger on the sensor.
My tip: don't use nix-env to install packages like it's Aptitude or Pacman, use `nix run` if you need a package temporarily, home-manager if you need a user-level package permanently, or just straight up change the configuration.nix to include the package as a system-wide one.

If you use nix-env you're just polluting your environment in an imperative way and that is pretty much going against Nix' declarative nature.
I have experience teaching in eastern Europe as well. It's been hit-or-miss. It's best if you're flexible and don't fixate on any particular location.

If you need a visa and work permit, it really complicates matters: I highly recommend acquiring European citizenship if at all possible. (I did, which had the side-effect of immersing me in genealogy as a hobby.)
Mortality rate is population and cause specific. So CFR is a mortality rate, though different than the overall diseases mortality rate.

That said, your definition is also in common usage and less ambiguous.
That is mind-boggling. You don't test positive if you've cleared the virus, either, so that 14% is actually a lower limit because some portion of them might have had it long enough ago to clear. I don't know what pregnancy does to the immune system -- but we do know that these women were all young enough to give birth (likely <40 years old).
No, when we are talking about taking away human lives, even with a little bit of data it’s immoral to continue a human trial.

The problem is with the binary reporting that doesn’t get into the nuances of the data that we’re getting.

People are getting confused and disappointed, because it looks like there’s a new miracle cure every day. And at the end cynical people are wright when it comes to this kind of binary reporting. And then cynism can lead to bad decisions.

We really do want that kind of attention to detail in our nuclear force, though. Its the combination of engineered safeguards and cultural safeguards that has kept the nuclear navy relatively incident-free all these years.

My default position of trust in a nuclear energy startup starts off very low specifically because I have yet to see that kind of detail-oriented and safety-oriented culture in the people behind them.
It's "irrational" to oppose an idea just because it comes from someone you despise.

Giving up on them without further investigation doesn't seem wise at this point.

I don't disagree with these ideas on the surface, but they seem largely strawmen-style arguments. I'm not convinced a significant number of people somehow "hate" hydroxychloroquine or are against research solely on the basis that Trump mentioned it.
That's how the USA behaves literally all the time with other countries and foreign companies. It seems like a weird time to choose to play nice for once?

The article is describing a trial in Brazil, not the US.

Also, the trial used chloroquine, not hydroxychloroquine. They're not the same.
Half of Iceland's population lives in the Reykjavik area. The rest are thinly spread out over the country - which of which is still inaccessible due to ice (usually until April/May). Comparing this to a densely populated South Korea is incredibly difficult.
I suspect the trend is to do with the fact that the majority of the population use their phones as cameras now. A larger screen means larger photos and videos. As long as people are using their phones to browse Instagram, I don't see manufacturers going back to smaller form factors.

Let's say Trump instead proposed that people taking, I don't know, silver supplements was a proper treatment for covid-19.
