There's some evidence now that viral load peaks in the first week, and it's the second week that tends to be a problem for people with very serious cases. By the time many of these patients are hospitalized, their viral load is already going down on its own, and their serious complications are either due to immune overreaction (the so-called "cytokine storm"), or some sort of opportunistic co-infection like bacterial pneumonia.

It's decently likely from what I've been reading that there might end up being effective pharmaceuticals for each stage, but that they'll be totally different from one another: maybe HCQ and antivirals like remdesivir or favipiravir early, and maybe immune-modulators like tocilizumab or even corticosteroids in this second phase. But again, the devil will be in the details, as it looks like HCQ doesn't work late, and steroids or other immune modulators might be actively harmful in that first stage when the virus is still surging.

As for mechanism: nobody is really sure. HCQ does have some immune-modulating effects (that's what makes it useful for lupus), but there's also speculation that it might have some effect on the interaction between the ACE2 receptor and the coronavirus spike protein, and so somehow inhibit viral entry (see, e.g., https://www.nature.com/articles/s41421-020-0156-0).

Love this idea!

I'm sending out feelers locally to see if anyone is interested
(I'm in Louisiana), and so far I've got a little interest. I was wondering if
you'd come into any problems other than the animal thing with your experience,
or if there's anything else I might need to know. I was wondering how you
found people who wanted to participate? And how you organized it. If it was
all friends, or if it was people you didn't really know or found online. I
don't have a ton of friends who are really into this so I'm kind of casting a
wider net.
There is some difference. Fired with cause means no unemployment benefits. Laid off and you qualify to receive benefits.

I think it's too bad that this drug has been so politicized. It's really unfortunate that its two original and most prominent champions are people that are so disliked. So many people spoke up (maybe prematurely) against it in a knee-jerk reaction to its advocates. Now many act as if they're more concerned about being right to ridicule the claims all along, than they are about whether the drug is actually helpful in fighting COVID-19. Which, for the rest of us without a stake in their stupid political feuds, is all that matters. And because of this idiotic battle of the egos we could be passing on something useful.

So here we all are, hanging by the edge of our seats, waiting for definitive proof that HCQ does not help in fighting COVID-19 and we keep getting these half-assed reports, seemingly more aimed at pushing a narrative than to present (or eliminate) an option in a fight.

One of the latest examples is the account of Rita Wilson (wife of Tom Hanks) who survived what seems like a difficult case of COVID-19 and shared her experience with the media: she felt very tired, extremely achy, uncomfortable, didn't want to be touched, on the ninth day her fever climbed up to 102 and she had chills like she'd "never had before" (her words), she lost her sense of taste and smell. Then she was given chloroquine, her fever broke (it's not clear how long after). She goes on to warn against the "extreme" (her word) side-effects she attributes to chloroquine: she was completely nauseous, she had vertigo, she could not walk and her muscles felt very weak. She then concludes that although her fever broke after been given chloroquine, she doesn't know if it helped or if it was just time, which is fair. What do you imagine the headline for that story should be? Well, to save you the trouble, most read like this Rita Wilson warns against "extreme" side-effects of chloroquine.

Are HCQ/CQ effective? We're still sitting here like idiots not knowing. If they are, should they be taken carelessly? Definitely not, we already got that, thanks, but that is not the point. We can't afford to have an "all or nothing" mindset with these drugs as we did with masks. Simply proclaiming that HCQ is useless because it is shown not to reduce viral load is just the best way to pass on some other ways it might be helping. If it is shown to have other palliative effects that actually help patients in their fight, such as reducing inflammation or helping cope with high fever long enough for your immune system to do the job, it's not nothing. It's information. It's an option.

The role of an SSBN and a context for being forward deployed can be found by reading about the Nuclear Triad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_triad

In the US context, SSBNs are one prong of this triad, and the platforms are positioned to always be at the ready to carry out strike orders when called upon by the Nuclear Command Authority. These hulls are equipped with nuclear reactor power plants, so fuel for the sailors (i.e. humans) becomes the biggest constraint for how long a submarine can remain underway.
Playing Pokemon GO beat this into me hard. It used to be such a battery drain that you pretty much had to constantly be plugged in to a power bank with everything non-essential turned off (wifi, bluetooth, brightness, etc). But when you're out walking around, it was also way more enjoyable to have some kind of music or at least in-game sounds.

Plugged in, with music. For as many hours each day as the power banks would allow.
I have been dealing with this at work today. Docker on Google cloud with a VPN. A two line change took at least half an half an hour to test out. Then log into the container and I can't even run less on the logs to try and work out what was wrong. I can't even remembr the problem that docker was supposed to be solving but someone added it in.
MKL this is something as an artist or a platform I would make much clearer. You're right that if you look at materials alone its more than folks are willing to pay. Then there is artists time. You could show like based on materials plus time this artist would be getting paid $10/hr. this may help people to justify costs. However its not necessarily the best measurement (some artists are faster, more experienced are faster)
> It doesn’t seem hard to argue

I agree, but it doesn't make any sense. Investing is literally putting money to work. Storing it in a mattress is not putting it to work.

For example, what happens to the money when people buy real estate? The seller of that real estate gets the money. They don't hoard it, they also spend/invest it.

What happens to the money you put in your bank account? The bank loans it out to people who spend/invest it. (Banks don't make money hoarding cash, they make money loaning it out.)

Think about it another way. Wealthy people in general are not stupid with money, if they were they wouldn't be wealthy very long. They put it to work. That means spending it or investing it to people who spend it.
It's a pretty important distinction as it can decide whether you qualify for unemployment or not.
But you just ignored the evidence from the diamond princess?

and meanwhile germany's data points toward a similar conclusion as the south korean data

singapore also has a 1.5% deaths/recovered... and it's been higher in the past if you've been following closely (as high as 2%... question is where have all the new cases been coming from?)

icelands data could easily be skewed if they avoided a nursing home getting infected, given their low number of cases, and even there 1% fatality seems plausible.
I could imagine misguided readings of some coding standard advice that would lead to that interpretation, but it's still not an interpretation that makes sense to me.

Implementations define undefined behavior all the time and users rely on it. For instance, POSIX defines that you can convert an object pointer into a function pointer (for dlsym to work), or implementations often rely on offsets from a null pointer for their 'offsetof' macro implementation.

There is an obvious pushback on hydroxychloroquine. Not enough money to be made so other "solutions" are preferred. Something that was used for more than 50 years is being tested for safety? What a joke.

Once you discover your equipment is not there, you still have to put it on its place, power up, reconnect al cabling, and check networking.

From this kind of mess to a fully functional infrastructure you need at least 12h-16h to function minimally. Probably takes 2-3 days to have that node working as before.

When I was on call, I always jocked with my colleages the worst incident you could have in a datatenter was someone swapping two cables.

30*150 = 4500 lb. There are cases of planes crashing because everyone rushed to the front or the back to avoid smoke.

I know it's not the same as a commercial airliner, but I used to teach hang gliding on the beach and we'd sometimes get a little packed sand in the back of the keel (which is the name for the central bar that the wings were mirrored across). The total weight of the student plus the glider could get up to ~280 lb, and the amount of packed sand would be less than a pound or two, but the flight characteristics of the gliders would change drastically, to the point where we could barely get them in the air.

As another commenter notes below, the few people moving around the cabin is less about control ability and safety than it is about fuel efficiency.
Italy has a very high IFR of 1%, the same rate as their every year flu epidemic. Or better very two years. The flu comes every two years.
Italy has traditionally the highest flu death rates in the world. This year, with COVID-19, it is still lower than in a bad flu year.

When you read 15% this might be the CFR, the case fatality rate. But only about a tenth is getting tested. So it means nothing.
You can only look the death numbers, and after it settled down at the excess death rate. From there you get the real IFR. So far we are at an IFR of 0.3 - 0.6. A little bit higher than the flu, but in absolute numbes lower than a bad flu year.
Experts that say that a solution in form of vaccine is 1 year out don't offer immediate help.

There isn't much in the way of references to check in that article. To say how close the 40 days is to correct is difficult at this point.

But I do think there is a good average number out there with some amount of margin from location, demographics, and policies.

In the end, there has to be a number, if the virus does not reinfect with significance. Eventually the vast majority the population will gain immunity to the virus. How fast that happens has some multiplier for spread, and then there is like also some time delayed aspect, which in the end should give a timeline for initial exponential, peak, and then falloff to zero.

I think this is prevalent in computer use generally. I came up on Dos & Win 3.1, and at every level the OS is trying to abstract the functionality from you.

Imagine trying to understand what a "driver" is without having a sense of what computer programming does... no way.

What i'm saying is: it's not just the IDEs... it's a mentality about computing.

And for one thing, it's the "i can do this quicker with an IDE" or "i can do this faster with a computer"

surely a computer can make things happen quickly, but truly understanding your tools takes much much longer than anybody realizes.
If a lot of scientists world-wide were looking at it, yes, I would think that irrational to not consider silver supplements. As far as I know, Trump has never advocated taking any drug without medical guidance.

Yes, but, this might have earned him the ire of some Nation-States...

Let's remember that Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks on a website in one nation (which Cloudflare prevents) might very well have been an early form of content censorship by other Nation-States (China, etc.), although newer forms of this exist...

Thanks for sharing this. What you described in your past is EXACTLY how I feel now, and how I have felt over the last couple of years. Especially the line "I should have just found a better job, and I did, several times" is EXACTLY how I feel too. You've even nailed exactly how I feel with "I was spending more time wrestling with package managers, version conflicts, obtuse configuration files, pointless deadlines".

I really enjoyed teaching guitar and talking to people when I was younger so I've slowly been creating educational content on LinkedIn and YouTube for software engineers.

>For me personally, Bluetooth headphones in general and AirPods Pro in particular are much more convenient

You're free to use Bluetooth headphones even if you have a headphone jack; being able to use them doesn't seem like a "benefit" of not having the jack.
Well said Jason.
Some bluetooth headphones have outstanding battery life. Beats Solo 3 for example. Personally I have no reason to go back to wired headphones, just switching them between devices with a click of a button is so convenient.
The stark contrast is in reality it is the President that is trying to profit, not a regular joe.

edit: To clarify I do not mean to suggest that Trump profited financially like the fictional character in the movie, but rather Trump benefited by being able to tout a potential cure. Ie. Trump profited politically.

It's worse than that. Because this is a vaccine, it means that everybody will take it, while healthy.

That means that the entire population will trade a 0.3% to 4% risk of death (depends on what study you go with, lower numbers seem to be more likely) for the unknown risk of the vaccine. Thus people better be sure there is no severe side effect, even if rare.
Coming back now.

Wow, that's kind of nuts.
There were multiple papers out of Europe and China by then. This was already floating around before Trump latched onto it because it was indeed promising, which is exactly what Trump said.

What else do you think the words "hopefully" and "real chance" are here to communicate?

What do you think "move fast" means? Administer the cure to everyone, or figure out if it works?

This was a clearly promising avenue and as the head of the executive this is one of the few things that the man has done right. This vitriol is pure, irrational bias.
There is an obvious pushback for hydroxychloroquine. Something that was used for more than 50 years should've been widely adopted by now but there is not enough money to be made (and let's not forget political issues).

These articles scare me. Another one with exactly the same message: Things are worse than we thought, it was already bad, we are not coming close to doing enough to save us, there isn't even much of a plan.

And then I see most of the west handling covid-19 just like we handle everything: No clear direction, minimal effort, leaders asleep at the wheel, politicians trying to get the better of each other, rich people get richer.

Climate was an important theme in our last elections, but even the green party had no clue whatsoever, and the voters made it clear they did not even remotely care.

Now Covid-19 is easy stuff compared to the climate. I was hoping Covid-19 could serve as a wake up call for the cost of incompetence in our organisations. But that does not seem to happen.

Covid-19 has a pattern I also see in the climate: First, nobody cares for some theoretical crisis far away, then its in our countries but still not personal, and by now everybody knows about a specific person who died. Climate is a theoretical crisis far away for now.

So how do we proceed from here?
