Yes, although note that it's not clear which kind of test is being used by the Navy there.

If it's the nasal swab-PCR test that most civilians are getting, then the claim of "asymptomatic" must be accompanied by a "yet". We can't really conclude anything for at least two weeks after the positive result -- after seeing whether those people ever develop symptoms.

If it's blood-antibody testing, then we can give the statement a little more weight, because a positive result would mean the infection is in a later stage or even past. I have no idea whether the Navy is using these tests.
GNOME MPV (now Celluloid) seems like a bad example since it's not part of the GNOME project.

GNOME Videos gets away with the same UI choice as in that app, media is opened from the lists and not the menu.
Absolutely delighted with this. The internet needs more co-operatives and it would be an unadulterated joy to see a common tld taken into co-operative ownership in this way, especially by such a competent group of people.
Their example on their github page uses a jpg that makes it look like they are creating something from nothing.
A local wood-fired pizza shop has a Shopify store up now. They deliver 4 packs of frozen pizzas and give all of the profits to their employees.

It's pretty impressive that a small business like that can have a functional site up in a few days.
Just curious, did your friend have pretty severe symptoms? As in, was it worse perceivably than say a case of bad flu?
I don't care that much between dynamic and strict types but I like strict typing.

So yeah typesecs and guard clauses cover a lot of that (and the ever fun dialyxir) but it's more cumbersome than just typing your function parameters and variables.

And funnily enough in the end what I miss the most is the type hinting when I write function calls. I use Intellij and the elixir plugin doesn't support that AFAIK, it's a real productivity killer.
I work at Nike and we've already retooled our major local factory to making PPE but it's all going to local hospitals at this point I believe so there hasn't been any big national news about it. I feel like this is probably happening elsewhere as well.
> My main method of exercise (surfing) was cut off due to rules & fines

Yeah, it's unfortunate because I had hoped to score some waves. But, after the stay at home/social distance order was issued along with schools closed, the beaches turned into July 4th weekend every day.
I would say don't use the news that lots of people are losing their jobs at News Outlet X to say News Outlet X is a bad news outlet. Feels opportunistic at best.
I wonder, when www.egress.com picked the name Egress, did they have a discussion where they decided it would be a normal part of their business plan to sue unrelated companies ad infinitum, for the life of their business?
Poland recently announced that hotels will be allowed to open back up earlier than many other things, because the hospitality industry is such an important part of the economy. At this moment, I wonder if the authorities would be happy if AirBnB rentals started again, because that would get cash right into people’s hands during this time of crisis, and slightly lessen the expectation that the state has to hand out that money.
Not only approaching the "problem" of learning CSS by eliminating things to learn, but starting from bad assumptions (e.g. that combining stylesheets is a problem and not a solution) and never questioning them.
I'm not going to comment on that because I have a basic understanding of public health and epidemiology on the diagnostic side of things. Why do you think that this isn't a "good" random sample?
So a 0.5% fatality rate sounds like "only" five times the rate of the flu. EXCEPT that I would bet that if you thoroughly traced all the asymptomatic but positive for the flu, it's fatality rate would decline also and it still causes significant deaths.

Total Covid deaths are already at a "mild flu season" level already after a month and continuing some level of exponential growth after social distancing.

It's sad and awful but it seems like with the current administration approach, the response of ramped up contract tracing has pretty much flown away and with these figures, we're looking 500K deaths, 250K over the next two month and another 250K over a longer period. Hide your parents...
Not in the way you indicate, especially since there is already a dedicated word for slavery. To the best of my knowledge, robota still refers to work (as in one's job) or labour in general. I most frequently encounter the word robota when I or someone else announces that they are leaving to go to work by saying 'Idem do roboty.'

There isn't really any ambiguity to it and I have never seen the word used as some sort of analogy or synonym for slavery (certainly not in common parlance, though I'm sure it has been used that way somewhere, sometime). If someone wishes to talk about slavery, they will use the appropriate word.
Come on man, let's avoid hoping for people to lose their jobs.
Also, they weren't able to factor out a bias towards people seeking confirmation tests due to perceived COVID symptoms.

This is in the bay area, where people were very quick to self-quarantine. Most people have been working from home since early March. They were asking people to break their self-quarantine to get tested without having any symptoms?
Right. Turning this mode on makes everything contentEditable so you can change up a website.

For example, let's say your making mockups and want to change some text. This lets you do that really quickly.
that's true, but that's pretty much the experience of writing userstyles anyway. i remember back in the greasemonkey days, their built-in editor even had an option to automatically append `!important` to every line when you click save.

I don't think you have considered all the things pharmacists do; aside from the compounding aspect they add a layer of safety and insight to the whole system.

Me either...

Was using a hackintosh and rmbp until about 2 years ago, stopped using mac at work, and in october switched to a new desktop and jumped to linux. Been back in windows + wsl2 for a couple months now.

Back using mac, and most of my windows until a couple months ago, was still mostly linux via VM.

Guess I never realized how slow macos's file system was for deleting files.

edit: Also, for those curious, WSL2 files in Windows is slow, and windows files in wsl are slow... each are fast in their own sandbox.
I looked into your challenge handshake logic, and it looks legit. Really impressed. Do you have a solution for pw derived keys?

What do you mean when you say that the circle is an invention rather than a discovery? Are you drawing a distinction between the mathematical ideal and the arbitrarily close approximations which can be found in nature? Though by that criteria that case pi must also be an invention…
This paper references two tools for assessing the risk of bias: the Cochrane risk of bias tool and PROBAST. Does anyone have any experience with these tools? Are they something that are mainly only practical/useful in the medical field, or are they useful in other domains applying AI models?
It's nice that they thank their "essential workers" now.

Meanwhile all the essential workers are like. Cool. Where is the money though. A "thanks" gives you a warm feeling, but doesn't pay the bills.
> Who is organizing the effort to fill the gaps?

Who is left, between the federal and state governments, except private companies? Some of them are doing things to acquire or manufacture PPE but it's a piecemeal effort. Apple and Tesla come to mind as companies not traditionally in the medical space who are trying to help.

The only way this will work on a nationwide scale is if the federal government coordinates it. Leaving it to the states is problematic because some states won't try to do it, and some can't afford to do it without federal money even if they wanted to. That's only going to get worse as unemployment claims use up all the money the states have left.

It is quite sad how often I end up having to help older relatives with their computers on account of unintuitive UI. One memorable, recent example was my mother, who could not figure out how to get her GMail sidebar to un-collapse itself.

Here's a screenshot of a collapsed sidebar:

https://storage.googleapis.com/support-forums-api/attachment...

and a screenshot of an un-collapsed sidebar:

https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/RC-Convers...

It took me some time to realise out that it is the hamburger-menu-like icon in the upper-left corner. It has a tooltip that says "Main Menu", but it is not a menu. It controls collapsing of the sidebar. Confusingly, it is positioned in the top panel, separated by a line that would make one think it is not related to the sidebar, and closer in affinity to the logo, search box, etc.
I understand WeChat is more comparable to Google services (webview, payments, maps, social platform, chat) in terms of scope, but in America, Google gets challenged in specific areas and loses, like losing social to Facebook after many social media platform attempts.

Why doesn't WeChat get more competitors in just a specific area, like chat, which is a lot simpler, so a company could potentially do it better than WeChat?

WeChat doesn't get that kind of competition in China at all, and it really looks like its because of the government.
It's both sad and ironic how someone replied with "Ok boomer," SQL is based on relational algebra that dates to 1960-70ies, and GraphQL is based on graph theory that dates back to the 18th century.

Many from the modern generation of self-taught programmers are so eager to hop on just any kind of the hype train without even questioning the rationale of things.

On the other hand - ithere are many young programmers who do respect the fundamentals and do create fantastic projects. I guess the future is bright but messy. Most of the time, it is messy.
This is the point I've tried to convey to my peers in the West over, and over, and over for years.

I hope this would finally be a rude awakening moment for countries in the West. The decay of essential social institutes in the West has reached the point when issues begin to snowball uncontrollably.

I don't like many points of that guy called Neil Fergusson makes, but he is 100% on the spot pointing that the West is loosing the "institutional IQ" after 20 to 30 years of "ultrapopulism" in government.

Just look at the level of organisation being exhibited now, and how emergency response was handled few decades ago. Quarantines were not so unheard of in the West even for things like bad flu outbreaks in the 20th century, but, nowadays, some countries can't quarantine even a single city.
Well there are options.

> China's official Red Cross, however, seems to have zero problem exporting just anything off the shelf.

> Even supplies for which there simply can't be a medical certification are stalling at customs.

I don't think there is way more ongoing. That's just how things work in China and CCP's distinct way of being incompetent. CCP is known for its intolerance of critics, especially when covered by international news firm. They try their best to avoid it, not considering anything else. When someone in country create buzz, they censor it, sometimes arrest the author. When someone they can't arrest does it, they suppress what they can to "avoid the problem". This is politic and weighted more than anything else. A lot of party members still don't recognize free market and a strong private side as being important, especially Xi. After all they are communist.

In this case, the problem was seen as "some shady businessmen exporting unreliable masks for their own profit and got caught, it harms our 'global image'". So they took them down, switched to assuming everything coming from private side are garbage unless you can prove otherwise.

OTOH, government-ran Red Cross have zero problems because they are "trusted and endorsed".

You seem to be asking me to believe that a random google form at a random address that asks for personal information will somehow lead to millions of people getting aid.

Your heart may mean well, but this looks like a fishing expedition.
I live close to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, which ordinarily is a good place to get out into nature and wouldn't be hard to follow social distancing rules. But it's owned and run by the University of Minnesota, and the Governor ordered the university closed. They won't even let you walk into the place anymore.

Dinosaurs have enough cultural prestige that it would make total sense to do it as a vanity project if the technology is there.

Similar to turning lead into gold -- there's enough cultural meaning built up around it that someone should do it before it really makes sense in a vacuum.

Surfers don't go near each other in the water, but they do meet on the shore, ride to the beach together, get other people grouping together on the beach watching them, etc. Not to mention if the authorities allow one activity people will believe their chosen activity should be allowed too, regardless of numbers.

If you can't forego something for a few months to save, potentially, thousands of lives then you are incredibly selfish.

If you think resume-driven development is bad for developers (and it is), consider the career incentives for UI and product people. If there's a "maintain" incentive, I'm not sure what it is. "Didn't change anything about functional and satisfactory interfaces" may be a real value-add in some cases, but it's not a sizzling narrative for selling yourself on the job market.
They also were unable to remove any bias towards people self-selecting to be part of the test because they felt they had symptoms of COVID. The bay area has been in lock down since early March, its really hard to imagine someone participating if they didn't feel they had some symptoms and wanted to 'know for sure'.
One twist in my case was, the Chase webapp gave me an error page on about page 5 of the wizard interface, where you upload your payroll documentation. The webapp had no state persisted -- any error and you have to start the whole 25-minute process again. I started again at the beginning, but it errored again at the same spot.

Behind the error message I could make out the text of what appeared to be the ordinary final page of the form. The the error pane was a translucent overlay over the functioning form. I opened Chrome debugger, identified the element, and set its style to "display: none". Et voila: the glorious final page of the form, where I was able to tick off several attestations and press "Submit". About 10 hours later, I received the "application received" message.

You're Chase Bank. You have about 3 days to assemble a webapp that will accept bazillions of hits. You won't have any time to shake it down. Why in the name of Salmon P. Chase do you build a javascript-laden behemoth with a slick wizard interface with page transitions, that has a session timer but no persisted saved state (of any use to the user), using XHR file uploads, the combination of all that hot code bound to fail on any browser but Chrome (it failed to get to page 1 using Firefox)?

They could have built a plain old HTML single-page form with a POST action that would upload all the attachments. It could even have had wonderful CSS to support the branding they feel they must have. The whole thing could have run on Apache hosts with a CGI handler. Seriously.
Unfortunately, unlike the author of the first reply implied, I don't have a grand religious take on the issue. I'm simply criticizing what passes for "science" these days. Even if someone grants you all of the evidence you presented, we see regularly that discoveries of this sort are false - be it from contamination in the lab or just an overzealous lab coat.

That said, I can give you a tasty nugget if you want. I reject using uniformitarianism (ad infinitum) as a scientific axiom. And I scoff at the arrogance of my fellow academics, especially for presenting stories such as these as fact.
> Does your ventilator regulate pressure and volume? Does it need a medical oxygen supply? Does it filter the exhaled air? Does it monitor the patients breathing pattern and sync with it?

Yes to all. :)

> Also what kind of testing has been done to date?

Still very much in development.
going to be interesting to see if they ever reopen it or write it off because of the costs involved.

to be frank, this really borders on someone being an asshole, there are less destructive ways to eliminate use.
Same in France, most makeup brands are x2-x3, fashion is x1.5 to x6

In France there is no increase of unemployment, instead they are at home getting paid, I guess they have a lot of money to spend as they can't party or go the restaurant

Try https://paddle.com?

I use them for a paid Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io, you can see the Paddle checkout when you click the buy buttons) as an individual.

Paddle let you sell worldwide via subscriptions and individual purchases where they handle country specific tax for you. Obviously you need to declare the income you make to the government but that shouldn't require you to form a company (in the UK at least) and this structure means you don't have to do accounting for EU VAT which I've heard is a huge plus.

Let me know if you've got any questions like integration tips. Generally for a SaaS for example, you accept purchases via Paddle's embeddable JavaScript checkout then use a web hook sent from their server to trigger account creation, email confirmation etc. from your server.
That's pretty much how modern genome assemblies work. We currently do not have a reliable or accurate way of sequencing DNA longer than ~200 bases. So we fragment the DNA into small pieces, sequence them and then put it all back together.

It's not a completely solved problem as there are features of genomes that can make this process difficult or complicated (repetitive regions, highly heterozygous organisms, etc). Especially with short sequences.

We have technology right now that can allow us to sequence long fragments, but at lower quality and accuracy. There are a lot of tools out there that uses the longer, but lower quality sequences to scaffold the shorter, higher quality sequencing data.
Looks interesting, well done. I'm using (and am extremely happy with) Hasura. Apart from supporting non Postgres dbs, what differentiates this?
It's the bureaucratic, nanny-state version of bikeshedding. It might be the tiniest part of the problem, but at least we have some idea of how to deal with it, so deal with it we will!
Herd immunity isn't a pipe dream it is just one hell of a sacrifice. And we'd better check the immunity actually lasts before we try that. Frankly I've never been a great fan of the 'flatten the curve' explanation, sure the graphs seem nice but I reckon the peak in those graphs is drawn too low by several orders of magnitude.

In the Netherlands a fatality rate of 0.5% would mean it'd take about a year for herd immunity to kick in assuming we managed sustain the peak that occurred about 2 weeks ago (and it's somewhat dubious whether the healthcare system actually can sustain that peak).

Anyone who still thinks this is about 'protecting' people from themselves is just deluding themselves. When there's footage of children being harassed and arrested by cops for selling lemonade in public or old folks being dragged off trains by groups of cops for not wearing a mask and talk from governments of allowing law enforcement to enter people's homes on suspicion of 'being sick' there's something seriously fucked up going on.

I don't give a shit how many people get sick from covid-19 at this point, I'm not going to accept living in some fucked up dictatorship because people are scared of dying.

People die all the time. I don't care, get over it. That's what life is, you live and then you die. Everyone living right now will die some day. Period. Living your life like a prisoner because some authority tells you you need to be scared of this is unacceptable to me and.in all honesty I would rather be dead then live in a world like that.

AirBnB was also an "illegality exploitation" company responsible for converting a lot of rental housing into hotels without going through the planning process, which was great for travellers but bad for their neighbours, and AirBnB was also going to struggle with the backlash.
question as I've been looking at Shopify direct ship: Is it viable anymore? I mean sourcing from hundreds of suppliers listed on their Oberlo service all the while competing with thousands of others who are trying to sell the exact same products as well as the suppliers themselves selling it at much lower price (same price as their wholesale price) on Alibaba, etc.

Shopify material makes it sound like you can easily sell it for 4x the cost if you spend enough on marketing, etc. Has anyone here have experience setting up dropshipping on shopify recently and making a decent profit?
