No, you misunderstand. I am saying owning a bunker may be a valuable thing in some emergency’s. However, just because this is an emergency does not mean going to a bunker now is a good idea.
I agree, but I think that train has sailed.

We're now firmly one country run by a "single point of failure" federal government. Sure, it delegates out some minor things to the states, but there is no doubt who is in charge.
Good to know that I'll be able to sue a corporation from Antigua that was setup by a shady foreign law firm. I'm sure that will go well and be a good use of my resources.

Ah, yeah. If hospitals are fine, I think lockdowns can be swapped for a contact tracing system, assuming enough people use it and assuming easy test access and 24-hour test turnarounds. (And even then... use masks.)

But, in the absence of that, if a hospital is at 50% capacity, I don't agree with opening up a lockdown until a hospital gets to 95% capacity.

(The game changes entirely if we get a good anti-viral.)
My company provides them, but we buy off-brands and I assume in bulk. I asked IT about it once - could it really be that much cheaper? - and turns out yes, it's substantially cheaper, especially at scale.

I guess my point is, don't be afraid of off-brand dongles!
> violating your fiduciary duty to stockholders

The idea that corporate directors (of whichever kind) have an legal obligation to maximize profits/shareholder value is a myth. Taken directly from Alito's (non-dissenting) opinion in Hobby Lobby:

"While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so."

Additionally, even if there were such a requirement, it would be toothless. The corporate directors of a company facing criticism from its shareholders that it is not maximizing profits (in the short-term) could simply retort that they are pursuing a strategy that maximizes profits in the long-run, and that investors should look elsewhere for short-term gains.

As a practical example, consider any company that pursues more environmentally sound practices, or tries to source materials more ethically. By doing more than the bare minimum, they are surely cutting into short-term profits, however they may in the process be building a more resilient and popular brand that profits more in the long-run.

Medical world is small and job-hopping is not an accepted practice - in contrast to the tech industry. Also, unlike in tech industry, some doctors are unwilling to quit in protest because this decision would quite literally harm or kill people. It's one thing to dump shoving shit for a nonsense web product at one company to shove shit for a useless product at a different company that pays better. It's another thing to transfer away from a hospital strapped for cash and personnel, knowing that this will worsen the outcomes of the patients currently under your care.

It's far too widespread right now to successfully control via contact tracing and isolation, even if we had infinite testing capacity. The optimal use of testing right now is whatever produces the largest number of positive results, so that large case counts stay in the headlines, helping to ensure political support for stay at home orders. And that's more or less how the tests are being allocated.
If phone companies had any initiative or product brains at all, they would have initiated 'real caller ID' a decade ago.
I'm not a professional and some of this interpretation may be wrong:

In the first report, 83% of people who tested positive for viral RNA (an active infection) had immune T cells that seem able to neutralize the virus, possibly without antibodies. I don't see any information on whether these patients were also tested for antibodies later, but in theory some of them could have cleared the infection without developing any.

Another cohort of healthy blood donors was tested for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and among the samples that did not have them, 34% had T cells that also seem able to neutralize the virus. They note that these cells appeared to work in only one of the two ways that were observed with the PCR-test-positive patients' T cells. The idea is that this one method of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 could be a carry-over from other human coronavirus infections in the past, and any antibodies generated by this method would be ignored by tests specific to SARS-CoV-2.

Also the seronegative healthy donors skewed female and younger compared to the PCR-test-positive patients, but I'm not sure if that is significant.

In the second report, around 5% of people who tested positive for viral RNA (had active infections), and then recovered, still developed no detectable antibodies. It's possible that more than 5% of exposed people are clearing the infection without developing antibodies, because this sample was taken from confirmed cases, and someone with pre-existing immunity may be less likely to develop symptoms.

Of course, keep in mind that both of these are preprints, and may contain methodological errors.
Yes, for them that's great, but their statement sounds like they're suggesting their results would apply for everyone.

Yeah, I expect to see this evil rich conspiracy theorizing on reddit or Twitter not HN
No. That is super hostile to your users, and besides the use of + as recipient delimiter is a convention, not a standardised behaviour.

You will get false positives, and you will get irate users, often rejecting perhaps some of your most promising early adopters.

3.4% was never stated to be anything but the case fatality rate. The WHO's statement was:

>Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died

Ioannidis acknowledged that in his original STAT article:

>Reported case fatality rates, like the official 3.4% rate from the World Health Organization, cause horror — and are meaningless.

Maybe because he had an editor. But I saw him in a recent video claim the WHO said 3.4% of people who get infected would die. A blatant lie:

Between my friends and I, we take a very different approach to this. It's still centered on Rock, Paper, Scissors. To us, however, it's a game in its own right.

Instead of trying to optimize the speed with which you figure out who goes first, it's a pre-game with its own rules.

You get knocked out if you lost to both of the individuals on your left and right. If you beat one and one beats you, you stay in for the next round.

For instance, if I throw ROCK and the two people to my side throw PAPER I'm out. The remaining players play another round (until you get down to two people, obviously).

If I throw ROCK and one to my left throws PAPER but the one to the right throws SCISSORS, I'm still in it for the next round.

Even with 6 or 8 people it still takes less than a minute, and the fact that you can so several rounds without getting knocked out builds up a kind of tension, along with the moment after a round where everyone around the table is looking around to evaluate who got knocked out.

I highly recommend you try it. Its pretty fun and really sets a light mood going into whatever game you're actually going to play.
But that's going to happen anyway because people will catch it until we hit herd immunity. Unless a vaccine comes out before we get there, which seems pretty iffy at this point.

I do think we can plan for the isolation of that population for a couple of months if we have some strong leadership. Unfortunately that seems to be lacking right now.
The simplest measure of the size of federal government is the budget. Spending has grown wonderfully since 1980, so frankly if their objective is to “shrink government” they’ve done a horrible job.

The most likely answer is that NYC was just a good place for it to spread which had plenty of travelers to get things started fast, but that that the death rates aren't particularly high -- everywhere that has fewer deaths has just had less of their population infected ... so far.

Reddit provides a way to streamline this for you - I use old.reddit.com so it might not be the same in the new UI so YMMV on the specifics.

While logged in, click the subreddits dropdown and click the "Edit Subscriptions" link, it takes you to https://www.reddit.com/subreddits/ - on the right side is "multireddit of your subscriptions" -- this is a URL string of all your subreddits, just save the URL. When you make a new account, click the URL again and subscribe to them on your new account.

Completely ignoring the role of community, family and friends in the "pursuit of happiness".

But we can't say that it could just be that infection because of a lack of herd immunity is the only thing preventing something like the flu from having the same result.

If they have the same hospitalization rate yet covid-19 infection rate is twice the flu because of the lack of immunity you would immediately double the hospitalizations. There's two variables in that equation
The number from wikipedia was 146 Billion (26 Austin-Round Rock, TX 146,784 metropolitan statistical area in millions of dollars) if you looked at the link I gave. Which is 146,784,000,000, though you could argue the city is a smaller area. Remember, thousand 3 zeros, Million 6 zeros, Billion 9 zeroes.

The GDP per capita was simply a sanity check showing how 1.4B must be wildly wrong.

Exact same experience about a year ago, I also passed up the deal and ultimately concluded later that it was legit.

> I don't see how this is legal, Personally i don't think you should be able to run the market and compete in it at the same time.

It may be, it may not be. I don't know, I am not a Lawyer nor do I play one on the internet.

What I do know is that to date no individual, or collective, has had the financial or political will to test any of this in court.

I suspect this is largely a positive feedback loop whereby any entity that has the financial or political capital to do so and stand a reasonable chance of winning has done the calculus and come to the conclusion that setting said legal precedent would do their own businesses more harm than it would net them in value from Amazon.

Now go googling.

Edit: ok, so some downvoter probably thought I was being too snarky.

The article is written by Ezra Klein, not by "Vox", which is a publication not an author. Vox itself has published numerous "serious" article by (relatively) well-informed pundits, authors and others. Klein himself is an author and pundit with more than a decade of writing and thinking about the sorts of issues raised by Andreesen's article.
It is if you assume your Constitutional rights are that that any citizen intuits from a casual reading of the Bill of Rights. It suffices in this context to point out that, if you're an American, you don't live in a country that operates on that principle; we've had centuries of jurisprudence that put the Bill of Rights into actual practice, and many of the principles routinely assumed to be violating the plain meaning of the amendments were established by the framers of those amendments.

But those currently infected are not included in the 20% of the population that has had it. Or maybe some are, but most of those infected now who may still die, do not have antibodies yet.

That's some major revisionism. No credible source was ever suggesting a 5% IFR. For example the Imperial model was using 0.9% given UK's age distribution. That looks likely to be spot on.

And Ioannidis? He was quite certain that the CFR was going to be a little higher than 0.1%. Yes. CFR, not IFR. So he's off by two orders of magnitude.

Instagram died when they got rid of followers activity status. I liked the interesting things that people liked.
>You being entertained on the train by judging people on their phones sounds hardly more valuable as a hobby than them being entertained by judging people in instagram stories.

The train entertainment is likely something which happens in passing, while social media is often a behavioral addiction. Framing two activities with such disparate levels of engagement and probable frequency as both 'hobbies' masks this fact.

I think the parent's condescending outlook is unhelpful, but I agree with them that they dodged a bullet. The increased value they experience lies in what they do with the time they've saved, which is unlikely to be fully consumed by judging people on the train.
No real disagreement there - the war was won on the back of Russian Bodies, American Trucks, and British Grit.

The germans did indeed have wonderful technology in labs, and had it made it into mass production, it would have made the war stretch out much much longer.

Perhaps you've held these views regarding the merit of billionaires long before your foray into the market, but the way you write your story makes it seem like you've done a complete 180 all of a sudden because now you are also getting rich off of the market, and now everyone else is an envious hater. It sounds incredibly naive and immature.

I've been quite lucky with the market myself and it's clear to me that the game is very much rigged. Not only that, but the people who come into the market for 30%+ gains on a quarterly basis are the people promoting a business environment that incentivizes short term gains at the expense of real economic development.

Congratulations on your gains.

- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- aspartame

Sweden didn't lockdown and might have herd immunity in weeks, according to their chief epidemiologist. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the long run.

“In major parts of Sweden, around Stockholm, we have reached a plateau (in new cases) and we’re already seeing the effect of herd immunity and in a few weeks’ time we’ll see even more of the effects of that. And in the rest of the country, the situation is stable,” Dr. Anders Tegnell, chief epidemiologist at Sweden’s Public Health Agency

Tegnell said sampling and modeling data indicated that 20% of Stockholm’s population is already immune to the virus, and that “in a few weeks’ time we might reach herd immunity and we believe that is why we’re seeing a slow decline in cases, in spite of sampling (testing for the coronavirus) more and more.”

And I can give an opposite case. I used to work for a large 1st-tier manufacturer of consumer batteries (hearing aid, AA, 9V, etc etc).

We were constantly competing with the other manufacturers for the Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, etc white label brands. It was increased volume for our plants and they would usually suck up surplus supply.

The catch was that your contract was continually up for renewal and you had to beat the others on price and other criteria. After all, nobody else would know that the rack at Wag's was half-bunny and half-coppertop, right?

It was also a headache because defective parts and customer complaints counted against you hard. We actually tested our white label products more than the name brand SKUs.
Strong concur - put simply, i think many people should recognize bad UI, in any form, as just an elaborate abstraction of hardball haggling.

If a company makes it HARD to get hired, it's probably to get you to accept an undermarket rate or sweeten the deal.

If a boss makes it confusing to understand how the promotion process and compensation process works, it's probably to keep you from getting promoted and keep you in your seat to do your job and not complain
