It's an interesting article and describes the organizational issues in announcing a new flu in China.

I'm curious. If "hundreds of cases were reported across China", why would it be hard to infer it was contagious? I'm sure people knew that in early Dec.

My understanding is "losses" is kinda vague if you own one of these "pass through" entities you can pay yourself a salary, have the "pass through" business loose money then pass that loss off against your personal income. I'm not a accountant so I might be wrong.

I know a CPA and they have noted that there have been calls from wealthy clients looking for loopholes to save money on taxes, based on the stimulus.

Money not payed in taxes isn't quite the same as getting it back, but in the end its a fair amount of money kept by an idividua and not being sent to the government . Seems kinda shady to me, to put something like this in a bill that's trying to help lower to moderate income individuals financial survive a pandemic.. But I'm old and cynical.
One thing I'm wondering: I know that you have to do some "massaging" of programs' output, to get it into nushell's named-columns model. For example, the "Parse formatted commit messages" in the cookbook: https://www.nushell.sh/cookbook/en/git.html. You specify a custom format string, then split it, and name the columns.

Did you have to spend a lot of time doing that kind of massaging?

What OP was replying to is not "fuzzy". He is calling it "fuzzy" without substantiating why or how. What I am describing is the system he is claiming is fuzzy.

He's basically saying "the US law is fuzzy because there are lawyers, whereas in other systems there are only judges" which really fails to understand the different systems of law in two key ways.

1) As I described, the US system is not actually fuzzy. Pretending there is a legal system that only "just applies the law" that does not have a 'reasonableness' layer is factually incorrect. It is also factually incorrect to say that the prosecutor determines whether or not the law is violated. It's obviously not true and it reflects a tremendous misunderstanding of the adversarial legal system. In this system, the differing sides argue for their interpretation and application of the law to the facts of the case. The judge, in hearing their arguments, makes determinations along a set of guidelines as to HOW THE LAW APPLIES TO THE FACTS. That is to say, the complete opposite of what this OP described. In the US system, the JUDGES APPLY THE LAW.

2) In non-adversarial systems, what the judge does is more than "just apply the law". The judge performs the roles of the adversarial sides, just within the judge's head. The judge determines, based upon his own belief (and I'm sure, some guidelines) what either side would argue, and from there, applies the law to the facts of the case to determine outcomes. This is why it is factually incorrect to suggest this system is in any way more or less fuzzy. If a system simply just "applied the law" without any regard to the debate of the factual circumstances of the case, there would be no need for JUDGMENT.
> The Diamond Princess likely had a very atypical (older) population than the general population though.

This would dovetail with the fact that places like sub-Saharan Africa and India haven't been hit very hard yet; they also happen to be _very_ young compared to Western countries.
You are making false claims about what I said. I intentionally used language like "better/worse" or "more/less efficient." Of course central planning will "work" in the sense that you will see that someone commanded some masks to be sent to a hospital, the hospital used them, and some lives were saved. However, a basic understanding of economics informs us that pricing is a more efficient tool at getting masks where they are most needed, and is likely to save even more lives. Pricing simply works "better."
I think characterizing my questions as absurd is itself revealing of a bias. There is no judgment in my questions, I'm just trying to get at the answers.
Obviously some combination of water resistance, more space for battery, space for other components (larger camera), or along those lines.

There is no consumer device used by virtually everyone where every square millimeter counts more than in a cell phone. It's not like there's just an empty hole where the jack would be otherwise.

That space is being used for whatever component(s) Apple thinks its customers, as a whole, find more valuable -- i.e. a net increase in functionality for the average consumer, even if not for you personally.

>So how do we proceed from here?

I don't think we do. Just in the USA alone, the number of people making extremely selfish decisions during the pandemic is quite alarming. People cannot make the choice for the greater good when the danger is staring them in the face.

It does not give me a inkling of hope that we will do what is collectively beneficial for the masses when it comes to climate change. People are just too damn blinded by their selfishness. Makes me fucking sick.
Agreed, of course. The difficulty is when one side of the argument is saying "take this medicine, it will help you," and the other side is saying "no, we don't know that yet." So, effectively, one side of the argument is arguing not to politicize the issue, the other side is doubling down on focusing on anecdotal data.
But the major problem with the french study was that they determined the outcome by testing throat swabs with RT-PCR test. But throat swabs become negative in the second week for most patients, indepedendent on the progress of symptoms of CoVid-19. As has been show by top German virologists, including Prof. Drosten, see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2196-x_reference.....

So they measured in the french study something that would always go down.

> This is this the more toxic variant though right? It’s meant to be hydroychloroquine

Hydroxychloroquine has fewer side effects than chloroquine which has fewer side effects than quinine which has fewer side effects than the bark it's made from that contains a bunch of other compounds including quinidine.

All quinine class drugs produce heart arrhythmia as a side effect in some patients, more so with increasing doses, and all come with warnings that they should not be used or should be used with caution in patients with heart conditions. These contraindications of these widely used drugs have been known for decades.
Do any of these statements apply in particular to socialism? Seems to me you could find/replace "socialism" here with any political system and make the same argument.
I’ve never been convinced by this argument, because you control what camera you have with you. It’s not like the universe will surprise you by teleporting your camera to Pluto without warning.

If you’re into photography, you’ll find a way to have your preferred camera on you more often. Pre-quarantine I carried mine daily.

If you’re not into photography, you’ll have your cell phone, and that’s ok too.
Asymptomatic means the person had no symptoms at the time of the test, and possibly never developed symptoms. They could also have been presymptomatic, in which case they subsequently developed symptoms after the test. This study didn't do any follow-ups to differentiate.
It's really not. I would simply like the option of having smaller size mobile phones available on the market. I don't really give a shit if they are differently priced. If they only existed that would be a huge improvement from the current situation.

It's easy enough for a foreigner to learn it in a year (so all what's left is to expand the vocabulary and polish the pronunciation). How can it be hard enough to prevent natives from learning "proper" written French? Was it also illegal to teach them so being hard enough to be impossible to figure out intuitively was sufficient?

Depends where you work - I work at St Joe’s in Stockton, and it’s not unusual to incubate 5 or 6 patients in a shift, though one or two is more usual. Get in touch if you’re looking to work in a super underserved community, with ridiculously high acuity!

That said, most ED’s are not like that, and an awful lot of emergency medicine is ‘just’ careful assessment and reassurance, so I’d agree that if you don’t like the process of seeing and helping high and low acuity patients, it’s a bad career choice.

Written from my galaxy s10
According to Trump's own words on the coronavirus, you can call it "a flu". During one of his daily press briefings, he listed off things you can call it, and that was on the list.

Influenza and coronaviruses are both categories of virus, but they are very different categories. They are not only not the same family, they are also not the same order, class, or phylum.

That's like if we were being attacked by horses, and Trump said, "You can call these horses many names... including octopus."

Amazingly, some organizations do not hand every new hire that document on day 1, so that they understand what different roles entail. Sometimes managers don't even know about that document, and discover its existence because someone asks about it, who in turn was told by a mentor who happened to know about it.

It's a very strange thing. For instance, the Bible is full of horrifying events, and the life of Jesus, a seemingly innocent, well intentioned man who is crucified in an excruciating death for no good reason, also seems to be in line with denying the existence of a good God. In fact, Jesus seems to agree with this in his last moments on the cross, saying "my God my God why have you forsaken me?" It is very mysterious why one of the world's largest religions has its foundation in such God denying aspects of reality.
Most everything has an LD50 value but that often doesn't make any practical difference.

Freelance rates vary a LOT depending of your location.

A rate of 20-30$/h is pretty standard for developers "outside" the US.

For developers "in" the US, I think you shouldn't accept less than 50$/h. Regarding how much you could ask, I think that depends (besides your experience) of the city in which the client is.
From what I read [1], the Chinese "trail" (no data, only vague description) on chloroquine phosphate was mainly focused on mild - severe cases, not critical cases. These cases were not very likely going to die even without the drug. So fatality rate would not be a good metric to follow on. Metrics used in the "trail" also does not contains fatality rate, there were only something like "lung improvement rate in X days".

Another interesting point is China explicitly banned usage of macrolide antibiotics (which includes Azithromycin) together with chloroquine [2]. It was posted on Feb 26, 2020. I tried to use Wayback Machine to check whether they rewrote the history, but it seems like Wayback Machine only saved it recently. Another source (and with English translation) [3] indicate it is at least earlier than Mar 1 though. I did a Google search on key sentence "禁止同时使用喹诺酮类、大环内酯类抗生素及其他可能导致QT间期延长的药物" and found widespread reposting around March 1, so the date is likely genuine.

Nnevvy: Chinese Troll Campaign on Twitter
Nix has a way of exposing complex and low-quality build systems. Many pieces of the Python ecosystem fall into this category. For example, it wasn't Nix's fault that psycopg2 had a dependency on postgresql C header files, nor was it Nix's fault that the postgresql headers had to be rearranged for psycopg2's build to work. Nix basically reveals the full complexity of the package's actual build environment, and for some packages the work required to make a reliable build is overwhelming. Some easier to use systems have people doing this work for you, like the Debian project. Others rely on luck to supply dependencies. The thousands of Dockerfiles that run "apt-get update" are a great example of this.

After using Nix for a while you start to reflexively shy away from software with low-quality build systems. Nix is not easy to use, but it's best of breed in terms of software supply chain auditability and malleability (anything in the system can be trivially modified or patched). If you can move to an "easy" system, that may be the appropriate trade-off for you, but it means you may be in a domain where these properties are unimportant.

I don't want to take this thread off topic.

With that said, here is my example: Medicare For All would save us $450 billion, and avoid 68k preventable deaths, every single year. I find it a stretch to suggest that ambitious goals such as that "lack imagination". Such impact is simply not obtainable with tech or NGOs alone. Even Bill Gates has needed roughly $50 billion to drive forward his foundation's humanitarian efforts (but admittedly, is very efficient, with estimates of having saved ~122 million lives through their work).

Standing up is the opposite of collapse. Failure to stand up is required for the collapse to go ahead.
"Enough Spanish to make myself understood" doesn't really tell me much. There is a huge gap in command of a language between "I can order food or ask for directions on the street" and "I can drop into a conversation about today's news, no problem", and a huge gap in fluency between "My grammar/diction/pronunciation are incorrect but people can strain themselves to figure out what I mean" and "My speech is accented but clearly intelligible".

The greater point is that reading and writing are actually both easier and simpler than listening and speaking[0], even though we tend to learn how to do the former after the latter; think of the difference in difficulty between building software that can process natural language from text vs. from speech, and realise that many of the same additional problems (such as the sheer ambiguity of sound versus letters and the ephemerality of real-time speech) apply to human brains as well as to software systems. In fact, as you develop beyond infancy, the ability of your brain to distinguish sounds that are not a part of your native language(s) rapidly atrophies in favour of optimising for the ones you heard on a daily basis as a baby[1].

> can you read latin?

No, because I have next to zero interest in it. I am however familiar enough with [Ecclesiastical] Latin to recognise that it is largely overhyped in "difficulty" by monolingual English speakers for whom it is their first tangle with extensive conjugations and declensions - it's not much harder or more complex than the Romance languages it birthed[2], and is significantly less so than, say, modern Arabic or many of the Slavic languages.

0. Additionally reading and listening are relatively easier than writing and speaking respectively, due to the brain ingesting information more readily than it produces it.

1. There are about 800 distinct sounds used in all human speech, but the average language only uses ~40. By the time you're a year old, you've neurally committed to whatever handful of those sounds those around you have been making; you become hard-pressed indeed to even hear the difference between the remaining ~760 and the ones you already know. As a concrete example I've had personal experience with, in Hausa the sound written as `f` isn't pronounced labiodentally (upper teeth to bottom lip, the way it is in English) but rather bilabially (lips close together, not quite touching, and air forced between them at varying speeds depending on the word). People whose languages don't have that sound almost invariably interpret that sound as a `p`, an English `f`, or even an `h`.

2. As something of an aside, French is my third language (having been exposed to it since I was three or four years old) and I can attest to how much more difficult it is to speak/listen to it than to read it.
