I mean the most likely explanation is that it came from the market, no?

* Most of the first cases had a direct tie to the market

* it happened before with SARS-1

* Why would they cover it up by blaming it on the markets? They had already come under scrutiny for reopening them after what happened with SARS-1. A lab accident is maybe the Chinese government doing a bad job, a dirty market that should never have reopened in the first place is definitely the Chinese government being inept.

Domestic violence was up 20% in my country in first weeks of quarantine. Police and social services were super worried it will get worse as quarantine takes longer.

I can google you some local media articles if you want to double-check via google translate.

I predict this will happen when the US realizes that health of its citizens is a matter of national security. If that doesn’t happen during this pandemic, then I don’t know what can make it see that simple fact except a war happening in the country.

The article also suggests you should start with the post expensive option (60 in your case)
I'd say via Emacs is the easiest way. You can use org-mode as well which is the best (most customizable and individual) TODO solution that exist IMO. When you want to adapt Emacs to your workflow you are kind of forced to learn Lisp and once you have learned the basics you may be seeing yourself writing Emacs packages even. Progress with learning Clojure from there.

> But you're talking about Seattle, one of the largest cities in the USA. It's experiencing growth.

It is growing because people want to live there. They don't want to live in the communities idealized by the "strong town" people. They want to live in suburbs around a downtown core, which is what Seattle is.
> Sweden is midway in the list (and just above US) pretty much evidencing the point

Sweden is surely not "midway in the list" unless in an imaginary world where one thinks that all European countries fit on the accidental 13-item (!) part of the whole list of the Statista site.

Try it again but with the list of all European countries and considering the actual values and let me know if that "point" still exists. Especially when adding the countries which were able to do more testing than Sweden and introduced at least a bit stronger measures. E.g. Austria is comparable to Sweden in size, was potentially significantly more exposed in the begin, bordering Italy, and having three times less deaths per capita at the moment.

Moreover, people also mention Sweden as an example of "different" but in Sweden the Universities are also closed and everybody who can works from home too. The difference in "appearance" exists, but also among how much testing is being done and what is reported.

Also:

Sweden: 550 recovered (?!), Austria: 10,501 recovered

Sweden: 1,511 deaths, Austria: 443 deaths.

At least in some European countries where COVID cases has submerged the healthcare system, it is a very bad time to have a stroke or a car accident since the ER rooms are full and a lot of hospital resources are diverted to fight the pandemic. So it increases the mortality of these other situations.

Psychology vs psychoanalysis is addressed more in the paper:

"Psychoanalyst’s Rhetorical Question

Psychoanalysis can take a pragmatic stance when compared with other stances concerning the
ontological status of the mind. A key question psychoanalysis addresses is the reality of the
causes and effects of the subconscious. A provocative question here would be: ‘ Is sexual
trauma completely free, or must it be compensated for?’ One form of compensation would be what psychoanalysis calls ‘the talking cure’. The implicit argument here is that the unconscious is real if it has real consequences. Computer scientists are concerned with the mind only in so far that it can be modeled, hence the question: ‘ Can the target pass the Turing
test?’. Cognitive scientists are preoccupied with the scientific aspect of the mind to the point that the most relevant question to the others in the debate is: ‘Can you repeat your findings?’
Economists, are like the cognitive scientists in that they want repeatable findings but they also
want to allow for agents to adjust to their environment including the fact that they are being
measured. This means that economists and game theorists pose the question: ‘Can you
create a strategy?’, where strategy is defined as those decisions that take other people's
decisions into account. Finally, philosophers are preoccupied with the ontological status of the mind itself, and therefore ask the question: ‘C an you locate first person experience?”, while the closely related cultural theorists are more concerned with: ‘Can you create or critique an
ideology?’"

I've never looked for data to back this up, but I had a teacher outline the following theory of healthcare costs.

Insurance companies have out-sized bargaining power and will only pay a fraction of the list-price for a procedure.

Doctor's know this, so prices inflate to the point where the negotiated price is in line with what they'll actually do it for.

Everyone who is not insured or not covered for that procedure ends up paying massively inflated costs.

I might be a little late to the party here, but I don't entirely agree with him.

What I do agree with: UIs have gotten worse on the usability front, this is undeniable. Each application does its own thing when it comes to layout, and each app is also subject to change so not only do new users struggle to find where a button is, but experienced users have to re learn the UI. I also agree that a lot of the bad changes to the desktop come from mobile. Something that works on mobile because of the small screen, limited horizontal space, and inaccurate input method will inherently not be the most efficient on a usually large wide-screen device with very precise input methods. There is also a large element of sacrificing usability for aesthetics which doesn't help.

What I don't agree with: I don't think we had ever reached a stage where we nailed usability. The "golden age" he talks about, with the file, edit, view menus weren't all that great. I remember using word 2003 and having to click through each menu and reading each entry one by one to find the option I needed because it wasn't obvious where it should live. The one advantage this system had was that every app used it and so everyone understood the paradigm, which is arguably a bigger factor to usability than the actual design.

He also makes it seem like (although I don't think he argues this point) every new innovation in UIs past a certain point were bad. But he also gives a counter example, the bookmark bar. Older web browsers didn't have this feature, it was something that came later. Some wizz kid one day implemented it and this feature happened to stick. We haven't solved UIs yet, and so we have to try new things in order to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Finally, I don't think the most important thing with many UIs is how easy it is for a new user to understand. Most people would agree that Vim has a great interface, but it just takes a while to learn it. This goes for a lot of specialist and professional applications, I'd prefer it to be designed to be useful for the veteran user, not the newbie, but with good documentation to make the learning as easy as possible.
Hacking Together a USB-C Charger for a Cheap Chromebook
Not absurd at all. Since a billion years ago the South African (National) Defence Force has always had four equal branches:

- Army

- Navy

- Air Force

- Medical

But the USA is already mostly there: there are eight uniformed services. One is the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps that employs the surgeon general.

But you will have to stop your military's obsession with earning combat action badges. From what I can tell its creating a class-hierarchy inside the armed services.

That won't help if your aim is to create a serious non-combat uniformed service with the same prestige that mainly does nursing.

That death rate is skewed. A COVID death is counted if the person had the infection and died, even if a co-morbidity would have killed them anyway. A person that has no symptoms or mild symptoms isn’t necessary known to have had the disease, which means there is a significantly lower death rate because the known infections is what’s used for the death rate, not the actual number of infections. A newly released study showed that 4% of Santa Clara County had exposure, but the “confirmed cases” is vastly lower than that. A 5% mortality rate is just false. Confirmed infections can’t be used to determine mortality because the number of actual infections is obviously going to be much higher. Mild or asymptomatic people aren’t going to the hospital to be tested so they aren’t being included in mortality calculations.

Props on your design + dev execution.

I noticed your personal website mentions building products with React Native, but in this thread you mentioned Gentle was built with Flutter.

It's been a few years since I took a serious look at mobile, and after trying out NativeScript and React Native then, I ended up just wrapping web views. The bar for app experiences is much higher now, and it sounds like you have been able to iterate quickly without compromising quality. Will Flutter be your tool moving forward? Do you give it the upper hand over RN? Or is the difference just personal taste?
> How did you find it?

Elm wants to get beginners into functiona programming, it did it for me very well. I've only used C-like languages before, tried Haskell but didn't grok it.

There are a lot of FP tools for JS, but there really is nothing is like being actually pure and typesafe.

I've never been able to modify or add features so fast to a grown project in my life. And with confidence that there will be no runtime errors.

> Would you use Elm again?

Definitely, so much as being willing to fight teeth and nails to be able to use it at work too. I just can't fathom the dread of JS/TS runtime errors anymore.

> Are there anythings you wish you knew before you started?

Do not try to build "components" in React fashion. It pops up every so often in r/elm etc. In my opinion, you can either slice and isolate you UI into components but smearing the state all over (React), or you isolate by state and smear the "components" across (Elm). It's orthogonal to each other and there is no in between.

I wish I had known Elm-UI or Tailwind.css. Now I have a typical mess of half-assed BEM, afraid to touch any line of it.

Also using SVG to draw the game, while it lets get started fast, isn't very performant. It shouldn't be hard to change.

I have almost no unit tests for the frontend part, because the type system covers so much. Then for the "larger" things that aren't really covered by types, they would be awkward as unit tests too, and I dislike integration tests, so I have some end-to-end tests for that.

Ports can be awkward, I wish there were there different kind of ports. Something to synchronously "get" a value, and something to do an async request/response.

Cyclic dependency errors (of modules) can be really irritating. I usually opted for sharing types in a submodule, or in the one global types module.
Usually better to look at underlying data:

Racket is nice, as it's very "batteries-included", you get a nice IDE in DrRacket plus a fairly complete standard library.

I feel like most people seem to gravitate towards Clojure afterwards for "real" projects - it definitely has the most real world adoption. The Java interop and JVM runtime feel like simultaneously Clojure's biggest strength and biggest weakness.

Here are some resources for both:

that's the slowest method of exfiltration (as mentioned in your quote). I looked at USBee (one of the other methods mentioned by the article) and found [0] which says:

> USBee transmits data at about 80 bytes per second, fast enough to pilfer a 4096-bit decryption key in less than 10 seconds.

These methods are only going to be deployed for very high value data, so it's likely you would want a method of flagging a certain machine as infected (which something like AiR-ViBeR would be very suitable for) so you can use something more high frequency (but maybe more likely to be detected) to get larger amounts of data off the drive.

Note that this was written on Feb 24, before the West realized how bad this could be.
I think the writer goes too abstract and in the meantime ignorea several points. It's not like people, companies, and politicians don't want to build. It's because they are voices from both sides that delay creations. And going in bluntly will only make things worse. Going on to undertake big tasks without proper plans and rules will sooner or later cause harm.
It’s to do with their “long” outlook. They’re thinking of when we’ll be in the five digits and looking back at the fours.
If anything, more car-centric. I can't even imagine handling this lockdown without a car.

I try to rarely leave the house, so when I go I buy enough groceries for 2 weeks or more. That would not be possible without a car.

With a car I also have a lot less contact with other people.

I feel really bad for those people who don't have cars - bus service is severely reduced, and I bet they are having a very hard time.

> * Most of the first cases had a direct tie to the market

False. Few of the initial cases had any tie to the market. Multiple outlets have reported this from the beginning, even before the lab theory started circulating here in the US:

"However, a study, by Chinese researchers published in the Lancet medical journal, claimed the first person to be diagnosed with Covid-19, was on 1 December 2019 (a lot of earlier) and that person had "no contact" with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.
[...]
She also said that three other people developed symptoms in the following days – two of whom had no exposure to Huanan either." [https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200221-coronavirus-the-...]

> * Why would they cover it up by blaming it on the markets?

Who knows? They certainly have a record of covering up such stuff. It may have been released by a lab (the Wuhan CDC, who was conducting live bat research on bat coronaviruses with 96% match SARS-Cov-2) that is under control of the provincial authorities, the same ones who we know tried to cover up the initial outbreak. Possibly, Xi Jingping and/or national leadership felt it would just be too much to reveal to the world that not only was there a cover-up, but it was a cover-up of a lab accident under the direct control of the provincial government. After they had been warned by multiple countries about safety issues involving coronavirus research in the nearby BL4 lab.

I agree it's possible that the spillover somehow was linked to the market. That said, the spillover likely involved a person who was in close contact with lots of live bats. At this point, it seems most likely this would have occurred at one of the labs studying bat coronaviruses. But it's far from proven.

We do want to build things. Our government has rotted from the inside and people inside of our government contribute a large amount of their effort to protecting their own wealth. Look at the senator insider trading story from a few months ago for proof.

We tried to build this thing called "medicare for all". It would have freed people up to take greater risks in their employment because our physical health would not be tied to our employment.

That idea was run into the ground by an all-hands-on-deck media ( the media that is owned by billionaires ) and DNC blitz to shut it down. Because that would cost the 1% some of their money, and the 1% are the ones WITH all the money, so they have the power to write the checks and make things happen.

Healthcare is something everyone needs at one point. We cannot take a risk because our healthcare is insanely expensive and tied to our employment.

We would love to build things. Building things costs money. Most people do not have much money. The 1% do not let us spend "their" money to build things. They take a larger and larger slice of the pie, while everyone else is fighting for crumbs. The ladder is pulled up for labor to fight back with "right to work" laws, and other anti-labor policies. So nothing ever gets built.
