That's the creepy part. There is so much of our info available on the darkweb that even engaging with scammers potentially verifies it and makes it more valuable, although it is unlikley a purchaser of a phishing database is going to provide feedback to the point of origin, they may feed it forward if they resell and augmented dbase. [For example, if someone buys 1,000,000 phone numbers, and that person finds 250,000 are bogus, they can sell the "cleaned" database again claiming it's been slightly sanitized. DefCon has taught me to fear the world.]

My daughter flew through California in January and also came down with what you report - worst she has ever felt. She is convinced she caught the coronavirus.
Testing is only really useful for a handful of things:

- Identifying people who are carriers so they can be isolated

- Contact tracing (pointless at the moment, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the US who are infected)

- Ruling out other diseases or conditions that are treatable

Testing basically doesn't help anyone who has covid, it helps the people they would have spread it to if you can prevent that spread. There is no treatment for covid whatsoever, knowing you have it doesn't help you live longer or become healthy sooner. Knowing you don't have it, if you are already sick, might help if that lets them invest in further testing or treatments for other, non-covid, conditions.

Testing is easy to point at, but at the moment more testing would have limited impact. Even if we were to test everyone in the US, it would have to be done in a relatively short window of time to allow for a significant impact, and it's unlikely that there will be enough testing capacity to use this strategy before we reach saturation levels of infection. If they test me today and I'm negative, then they test you in 6 weeks, what does that get you and me? I was very likely infected in the meantime. This could be used socially like an negative AIDS test, except instead of a few months or years the validity of a test as a social currency is about a week, making it more or less useless as a way to avoid being infected.
Are you recommending people stop giving money to charity?
Yes, there are two types of tests. PCR tests check for active infections, whereas antibody tests check for immunity (For that strain of the virus at least). Antibody tests are only just starting to be done now, and not on a wide scale. It is currently unknown how long the antibodies last, but having antibodies does not mean you have an active infection.

The competition is the niche retailers that have always been there. They focus on one or a few related areas, and do them well.

Outdoor gear is always genuine from REI or Backcountry. Spices are always fresh from The Spice House or Penzey's. Et cetera.
Because 5% morality is what you get when the healthcare system breaks down. Which would be a direct result of letting the pandemic rip.

It's easy, take the 0.7-1% measured fatality rate. Double that to account for under counting. Then triple it to account for complete breakdown of the healthcare system

There 5%.

Advice: None of this is hard to sort out and you are flailing at it.

None. There is no single source of truth.

Maybe they should just have a disclaimer on every video: "Watch this with a critical eye and a grain of salt. Perhaps a truckload of salt. Use your brain."
A name-brand hub, or Alibaba junk?
My sense is that the denotation of the rule ("no contradicting the WHO") and the obvious connotation of the rule ("no cranks claiming Corona is a lie that you can cure by drinking bleach") differ.

My guess would be the intent and general enforcement of the rule will not be designed to preclude criticism of the form "The WHO is politically hobbled by needing Chinese cooperation, leading to awkward situations like the Taiwan exchange" or "The WHO was slow to adjust mask guidance in response to increasing on-the-ground evidence of asymptomatic transmission" or "The one study about surface life of Coronavirus is based on very limited research design parameters and the in-air survival number seems totally indefensible", or even an Ioaniddis-style "We're vastly overestimating the threat here" objection motivated by "good science" concerns.

I wouldn't preclude, like every stupid automated Google system, that legitimate content would be removed. But I think the intent is not to remove scientifically-oriented criticism or guidance or expert debate or context. I think it's meant to remove cranks.

I understand that denotation is important, just as it is when parsing say privacy policies or AUP documents or whatever -- and if people have criticism then YouTube should refine the language here. But we shouldn't blind ourselves to the fact that reality is primarily connotative.

I have zero objection to major providers collectively deciding they don't want to do business with Del Bigtree. Others might. Regardless of where you end up on that, I think we can agree that the debate here is about Del Bigtree, not about epidemiologists disagreeing.
Unemployment compensation is high, so the incentive to show up to work has decreased.

They can solve this problem by paying more, although wage increases are hard to turn back time on. Maybe they should consider "hazard pay" during the pandemic.
> Why are you downloading random crap from teh snap store to begin with?

I'm not, but the fact that there's the potential for junk to exist on the store in the first place is the problem, especially when there isn't adequate protection against typosquatting like I mentioned originally.

As long as I only use the default repositories, I can `apt install` a package I've never even heard of and it's pretty much guaranteed to not be malicious/actively dangerous. With Snap, this guarantee doesn't exist to the same level.

Sure, there is moderation and review in place, but this puts the Snap Store in the same realm as other stores and 'community maintained' package managers, almost all of which have issues with junk/dangerous packages.

> Snaps can't magically persist that is a load of FUD.

Yes, in many cases this is right, but some of the most common Snap interfaces (multiple of which can auto-connect) would provide enough leverage on a system to gain persistence or actively interact with things outside of the sandbox.

For example, the `home` interface is enough to compromise an average personal computer and probably gain persistence, as everything of value is usually within the home directory. (I do like the fact that `home` disallows access to hidden files though.)

The `x11` interface can even be auto-connected, and this potentially allows the Snap to read the graphical output of other applications.

I agree that these scenarios are quite theoretical, but as foresto says in this thread, 'sandbox' implies 'safe', and sandboxed Snaps are quite leaky compared to other sandboxes such as Firejail or a full-blown VM.

Perhaps this is just a terminology problem? I would say that Snap sandboxing is far more comparable to permission management on an Android phone.
It's not that it's abysmal, it's just annoying enough to prevent me from using it. I stopped using it a while ago, I possibly had issues with my Wacom tablet as well, but I don't really recall.

Do you know a type-1 hypervisor I could use on Linux? Will QEMU do? Thanks for the info!
There are - they are called "children", and there are hundreds of millions of them among Instagram's user base.
Those LA and Santa Clara studies have come under intense criticism. From other data it looks like the number is closer to .5% than .1%.
My ability to navigate Reddit is embarrassing. Never found the comment with the translation. Saw some of the discussion, though.

Sounds like a promising lead to go down. I think my other criticisms are still unaddressed. Scarring damage is tough to place in age. Is plausible that they had some pre existing damage already.

Funny to see the comments talk if walking pneumonia. I had that a decade ago. Was cake compared to whatever hit me early March.
This comment is entirely wrong. The mortality rates are right in line with what was expected with an IFR of > .5% unlike the Stanford study which was claiming something much lower.
...which is classic anti-competitive behavior. That isn't a free and fair market - it's one that's in the process of being captured by a few large incumbents.
What?

All of these numbers are inline with what experts have been saying and modeling for more than a month.
We will be dealing with this for at least another year. We will cycle through policy to loosen up and close back down a little. In the best case for NYC they are 1/4th of the way to herd immunity in numbers. With the drop in transmissions, this might be 1/8th of the way in terms of time. There will be more deaths in the future than have been recorded so far.

Look for the bright side in things, but zero cases is a pipe dream.
this is an excellent idea: safe mode. let people who can't decide for themselves what's safe to watch, let them watch safe mode only. everyone else, should be able to decide for themselves (opt in)
It's also possible that there was some theory behind it that was wrong but happened to lead to an accurate technique.
Can you please add more details, like what are you experiencing?

It very likely depends on which browser you are using and it's resources (like the network speed), on wifi, it works on my phone on the Opera Mini. Firefox, and Chrome, while using Android.

It's easy to get a blog going with either GitHub or GitLab plus their "Pages" hosting environment, or Netlify.

Here's how you can do this with just GitHub Pages or GitLab Pages:

* https://pages.github.com/

* https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/pages/

Here's how I originally hosted my blog with Gitlab Pages using Hugo (a static site generator):

https://misha.brukman.net/blog/2019/05/building-a-site-with-...

and then ended up migrating to Netlify when I upgraded Hugo to a new version to support a different theme (Netlify has additional benefits, like automatic live previews):

https://misha.brukman.net/blog/2019/05/switching-hugo-theme/

And here's someone else's 1-hour walk-through of the same workflow:

https://brainfood.xyz/post/20190518-host-your-own-blog-in-1-...

It's pretty straight-forward process regardless of which approach you take. I hope this helps you get started with your own blog!
Where in the world can people build?
The difference is that Safeway does not have any other sellers on their shelves. Safeway buys inventory at wholesale and sells it at retail. Everything that is sold in Safeway was intentionally selected by Safeway to be there.

If you see a product on a Safeway shelf, the company that makes that product already got paid--by Safeway. If Safeway puts a generic ibuprofen bottle next to a bottle of Advil, that's fine with Advil because Advil already got paid! Safeway is assuming the risk that those bottles of Advil might not sell because everyone buys the generic.

Amazon is different--they sell things themselves, but they also offer to run a logistics platform for other folks selling things. Folks who use this platform believe (are led to believe) that they are going to direct to consumers, NOT selling wholesale to Amazon. Amazon purports to be a neutral infrastructure provider, like UPS or Verizon.

Now, you can say that these folks are naive for believing Amazon about their neutrality, but it is what Amazon said! Many of these companies would never have used Amazon for logistics in the first place if Amazon had said "we are going to use all your data to copy your products and go direct-to-consumer ourselves with our copies, including placing them above yours in search results." Who would take that deal?
> Unfortunately it would probably not be that great for growth long term and effectively create ghettos away from opportunities and such a concentration would be less able to support services when comprised of the lowest end.

There's no empirical evidence of this happening anywhere else. The European Union and Switzerland are both thriving examples of decentralized governance with totally open borders and free trade, and they don't appear to have such "ghettos". Insofar as the EU has problems, it's that the Member States are starting to get skeptical of its power concentration.

I would even argue that the US today has economic ghettos because it is so centralized — it has a financial center, it has a tech center, it has a couple media centers, and everything outside is barren "flyover country". How many policy Ivy League graduate look to work in Washington DC, as opposed to one of the 50 State capitols?

Because the European Union was formed much after the development of European states, and so each state had its own concept of borders, immigration, and social welfare _before_ creation of the EU. And the EU has constantly tussled over the rights of migrant workers from one EU state to the other.
May I ask what's the harm with Mac's native screenshot taker? Even if I include it in Presentify, you would have to press a hotkey to capture so, from a user experience point of view I do not see a difference.
I've essentially stopped shopping at Amazon, their Audible product is really all I use.

I used to be an Amazon seller, and ran through maybe 100K in sales a year, but I stopped (wasn't profitable enough for the time spent.) I should have known, with my experience all those years ago, how easy it would be for scammers to get into the market. Hijacking a listing or mislabeling your product under a listing was really really easy. And for the volumes you can move, I can see why you'd do it.

I have some acquaintances that just buy in bulk from Alibaba and then sell them on Amazon. The seller usually doesn't know what they received is fake...nor do they care. The margin is high enough. Amazon seller fees absorb so much of your profit, you're fighting a losing battle unless you can find a cheap supplier or own the market on an in demand item. Then there are actual scammers that know what they are selling is fake and are manipulating listings...so there are multiple problems with the setup.

Of course the bad thing is Amazon doesn't seem to care, and if anything they try to screw the people doing the -right- thing with huge seller fees, and then killing them with their own line of Basic products.

I don't know how to solve it, and I don't think Amazon does either. I actually don't think Amazon cares, because their ultimate goal is to absorb fees and to take over markets with their own products. They can't do that without sales data, fulfillment fees, seller fees, etc. On top of that they make the big kids compete for coveted listing space with ads. They compete with their own logistics companies, but have them over the coals because they make up so much volume. It's a racket.
Which Is the Best Oil for Hair Growth?
There are endless options for hair growth oil, choose any individual oil or the right mixture of oil according to your hair and scalp requirements.

If you are unacquainted about the right oil of hair growth, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Sesame Oil, Argan Oil, Almond Oil, Nigella Oil are some of the best options.

Rosemary Oil, Jojoba Oil, Peppermint Oil, Lavender Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Thyme Oil, Grapeseed oil are the most common essential oils used for hair growth.

I didn't see where they said that second half, do you have a source? Because all I saw was a tweet from them saying that they haven't found any evidence of human to human transmission.
I still think it can be done, whether it's sacrificing performance or rethinking the thermal design to include a smaller battery and a larger heat pipes, or simply using a lower TDP CPU..

But yeah it's all trade-offs.
The WHO previously stated on Twitter in January that there is no evidence of human to human transmission of SARS-CoV-2. If this rule on YouTube were in place then and someone was sharing evidence of human to human transmission that technically would have been banned.
I assume that includes banning videos that promote previous WHO advice.
Count me in. Text alerts on all financial institutions to a google voice # and monthly reconciles of all acounts plus weekly investment checks.

I have had two fraudulent CC charges in 25+ years, and they both were reversed immediately so I'm not worried about that. More worried about my credit union so I keep as little in there as possible. (Interest rates are a joke so it doesn't matter.)
> But if there's a fall in aggregate demand at a given price level, there are _fewer_ dollars chasing the same number of goods for a period of time. So if government spending is greater than taxation for that given period, it doesn't necessarily cause inflation.

I actually completely agree, but with a caveat. It may not cause inflation in terms of this years price level being higher than last years price level, but it will cause a decline in the purchasing power of the dollar. For example, let's say in the absence of intervention the price level would fall by 2%, but with intervention the price level would stay the same. That's still a 2% decline in purchasing power.

> The "monetary base" increases because of the way they define the monetary base.

The monetary base is defined as the sum of all currency (including coin) plus bank deposits. It increases or decreases completely at the Fed's discretion, because the Fed has the unique ability to create reserves. This isn't some semantic trickery.

Since an infected person can be contagious for days before showing any symptoms, it'd be ideal if we could regularly test everybody, regardless of whether or not they are currently symptomatic. That way we could get them isolated early, which would prevent them from infecting X other people before they even realize they're sick, as well as cutting down on the number of contacts they've had that would need to be traced.
The biggest benefit would come from antibody testing.

If we could end social isolation for people who have antibodies, which is probably a very large number of people, that’d be a big win.
NY study shows fatality rate can be between 0.5% to 1%. I don't think 0.1% to 0.2% is likely.
/proc/[pid] and the missing threads
We're in a very interesting time, from an outsider perspective, the American ideal of free speech originated from a time when only the establishment (mainstream media, governments, large organizations, etc) have the ability to have their speech reach general public. Meaning people who say things that damage their reputation or relationship with the establishment will quickly disappear from public eye as they lose access to those platforms.

Today, thanks for all the social/media platforms, anyone can say whatever they want, gain a cult following and make a living. This is probably not something free speech idealist originally envisioned, and is seriously testing the viability of unrestricted free speech.

Will the newer media platforms follow the footsteps of media companies of yesterday and start de-platforming people they disagree with? Or will they continue to endorse free speech in its ideal, testing if unrestricted, technologically-enhanced free speech is a net positive to society?
Or use something really old school such as "extension numbers".
"He said he checked his account online several times over the weekend, but saw no further signs of unauthorized activity."

If, in retrospect, you feel someone was attempting to scam you, a better option - I hope - might be to contact the bank's fraud line, explain that you are suspicious, and have them look for suspicious activity.

Because “people who both use Facebook and don't automatically discount every ad or other solicitation on Facebook not from someone they personally know, especially if it invokes a major news story, because of the risk of it being a scam looking to steal personal information or do something similarly nefarious” are not representative of “people”.

Federal Reserve Balance Sheet
I have to be honest, that already seems like exactly the kind of conversation I want to avoid.

The problem here, and it may just be an issue with the internet as a medium, or certain tendencies within technically-minded individuals, seems to be an overriding mistrust of nuance and complexity that leads to polarized, intransigent opinions.

Because really I can see both sides of that argument. On the one hand, society has an obligation to protect itself from bad actors, and part of that necessitates an ability by governments to surveil their citizens to a degree. On the other hand, people have a right to privacy and personal liberty, and governments' power shouldn't be absolute. But no one wants to hear that the only options which balance these concerns are the messy and imperfect ones where we try to do the best we can with imperfect information, and at times conflicting motives and agendas, and laws that require interpretation based on context, rather than being executed like code. The world isn't black and white, it's grey on grey on grey.

I can also see the other side of my own position in this thread - Youtube and other platforms could certainly use their outsized cultural influence and right to moderate content to suppress legitimate information or political activism. I just work from the apparently controversial premise that falsehoods do exist and that it does society no good to allow them to spread, even in the name of "free speech," and disagree with the premise that just because there is no universally acceptable, mathematically provable, perfectly objective answer to "who decides who the liars, cranks and con artists are" which doesn't carry a risk of abuse or hypocrisy, doesn't mean the only acceptable answer is that "liars, cranks and con artists don't exist, and no one gets to decide otherwise."
