Oh, from a few sips you'd definitely prefer Pepsi.

But you're right, Coke is amazing because it compliments food so damn well. There's a reason 90% or so of American restaurants use Coke, and it's not just because Pepsi owns Yum! brands, as this was the case since long before that happened.

Edit: now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if Coke contains a chemical similar to MSG that acts as a flavor enhancer for savory foods.

I would have thought that a race for the bottom, which is a real concept that you don't have to put in scare quotes, among the Cantons could be arrested by the citizenship and registration requirements each Canton has. For example, if too many poor are moving in to use the Canton's services, which their own Cantons refuse to provide, simply don't allow them to register.

This kind of race for the bottom in Switzerland is admittedly a rather fantastical idea, but for cultural reasons, not organizational ones, I think. Though the organizational differences are certainly big!
Switzerland is a confederation of cantons within which there are open borders. The Swiss federal government only concerns itself with currency, military, and foreign policy — nearly everything else is left to the Cantons, including health, taxation, and infrastructure. Unlike the EU, it has been a fairly stable confederation for nearly 2 centuries now.

> In his press conference today, Governor Cuomo revealed the preliminary results of a first-phase antibody test that surveyed 3,000 New Yorkers over two days in 19 counties at 40 locations that included grocery and big-box stores. The sample suggests that 13.9% of New York State residents have the antibodies, meaning they had the virus at one point and recovered. Of the regions tested–Long Island, NYC, Westchester/Rockland, and the rest of the State–New York City had the highest positive rate at 21.2%. The potential good news to come to light is that the death rate may be far lower than some estimates, at 0.5%.

This still is not a random sampling. It only samples from shoppers at grocery stores and big-box retailers. Imagine doing the same study, but of people who ordered groceries online only. Would you expect to see big differences in exposure rate? I think so.

The study itself isn't linked anywhere, nor have I seen it elsewhere. Science is all about the details. It's not hard to imagine half a dozen ways that the bottom line result of this study could have been skewed by decisions made by the study authors and ground team.

>> Researchers currently poring over the papyri in the Carlsberg Collection are finding that medical information discovered in ancient Egypt didn't disappear when the Library of Alexandria burned

> That's because almost nothing was lost when the library at Alexandria burned. Because there was almost nothing there to burn at the time. The library had long been in decline by this time period, and there were many other great centers of learning in the world which had extensive libraries. Why does this myth still persist?

Because it's a rather romantic myth, and it's repeated by influential people in still-prominent works (e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/1nqrl0/carl_sag...).

The actual source howstuffworks.com cites for that section doesn't mention the myth (https://sciencenordic.com/denmark-videnskabdk/unpublished-eg...). My guess is the "freelance science writer" who wrote this piece interpolated it for color from a memory of a pop-science source like the one in the critique above.

> If amazon copied all your proprietary data, you would almost certainly never notice, no criminal law would apply, and you'd have a hell of a time proving it in a civil suit.

For a thought exercise, let's play this out.

Amazon copies data running through VMs (or grabs it from storage).

Let's assume it isn't on hardware certified for capital-letter processing [1], most of which require regular third party audits.

So they have your illegally-obtained data [2], which presumably they want to use to make money.

Except they can't leave any record of its source, in any documented form. This includes server logs, data transfers, emails about data, meeting minutes about data.

So they create some isolated network, run by a third party contractor, that transfers encrypted data from the taps to a store, then decrypts. All of which brings us to the most difficult part.

Who does... what with it?

The source data itself is radioactive. Who knows when "pricing strategy for company X" or obvious equivalent might pop up in the stream?

So you... what? Exclusively touch it via algorithm that outputs only aggregate information? How do you possibly code and maintain that pipeline, sight unseen?

All while risking an incredibly profitable business.

Do you really believe that? Check archive.org. The WHO published info on CV including technical guidance for the health ministries of nation states, at least as early as January 24. It’s safe to assume that national delegates would have been in discussions with WHO ahead of this. Remember, there’s only one WHO and yet we have many different responses and outcomes in different countries. The only logical conclusion is that those nations who’s responses led to poor outcomes should look to their own interpretation of WHO advice and the decisions they themselves made, as the cause of poor outcomes.

Again, you are confusing cause and effect. The luxury apartments are popping up because of rising demand and rising prices; they are not the cause the rising prices. San Francisco refuses to build new housing stock and rents are still soaring there because people just bid up the prices of crack shacks.

> The wealthy developers can afford to leave many units empty to maintain the luxury cache of the building or area.

That is completely false. Real estate developers don't intentionally leave a large fraction their buildings empty to project an image of luxury. No renter is going to pay 2x as much rent because they see that the building is half empty and they think that makes it more exclusive. If they wanted an excuse to pay 2x the rent they would just get a larger apartment or move to a more expensive zip code. Deliberately leaving part of a building empty would be an extraordinarily financially dumb move. If a building is substantially empty then the developers screwed up their market research and are losing money on the project.

> Housing supply absolutely needs increased, but we must require developers to build mixed-income housing.

Building luxury housing frees up existing cheaper housing stock for lower income households. You don't have to build cheap housing to make more cheap housing available. Blocking the construction of luxury housing is counter-productive because it just means people will bid up worse housing stock.

Forget the WHO for a second (which remember was politically cast adrift by the US when they refused to participate in it.)

The news coming out of Europe/Iran/China had lay people in the US concerned by late February -- yet the American Government did everything it could to belittle or otherwise diminish the threat. Now it wants to turn around and suggest that it's actions are to be blamed by the WHO? What happened to self-responsibility?

>This is one of those completely false things that people only believe is true by repetition. Go back and actually read the full set of WHO statements in mid-January.

You say it is "completely false" that people only believe is true by repetition, well WHO has a twitter account and their whole tweet is:

Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China

Their key encryption is fairly safe, if you use one-password mode, they could intercept your password from the webinterface if they wanted, but the password exchange is solid and doesn't reveal the password while still allowing to decrypt the key.

Two password mode is technically more secure since even if the authentication exchange is cracked, the decryption key doesn't touch anything the server can see, it's locally decrypted.

There isn't any meaningful diff you could make.

> despite having the exact same costs you mention

Exact same costs? Surely you are joking.

Costs, regulatory overhead, education and taxes are different everywhere.

My wife pays tens of thousands of dollars per year in malpractice insurance...and she isn't even at the top of the scale in terms of these costs. The cost of education? An MD can graduate with anywhere from $300K and more in debt.

And lawsuits? Show me a place on earth where attorneys will go after anyone, medical industry or not, as quickly, easily and violently as they do in the US?

Show me a place on earth where the government guarantees student loans to the extent that university costs are bloated to the point of creating financial slavery for graduates.

Show me a place on earth where doctors have to order a pile of unnecessary tests in order to protect themselves from being sued.

Show me a place on earth where developing the simplest medical device costs tens of millions of dollars in regulatory fees alone (if you are lucky).

Show me a place on earth where bringing a drug to market comes with potentially billions of dollars in regulatory costs.

Show me a place on earth where a manufacturer of N95 masks and gowns is not allowed to supply them to hospitals during an emergency due to regulatory burdens, the fear of lawsuits and has to demand immunity from the president of the country before they are able to do so.

I tried to develop a relatively simple hearing device to help people who suffer from SSD (Single Side Deafness). We have someone in the family with this condition. I designed and built a device for her. She loved it. I then looked into going to market with it. The costs would run into the tens of millions of dollars (or more). There was no way to take that leap. And that doesn't include protecting from or fighting the inevitable lawsuits.

No, nothing is "the exact same". And that's my point. Unless you pull-up a spreadsheet and analyze the cost structure you will never understand why healthcare costs what it does in the US. It has nothing to do with insurance, or profit, or greed or any of the nonsense ideas being floated around --particularly by politicians who just want to manipulate the audience for votes.

This is a simple equation: If you want to lower consumer costs you have to lower the cost structure driving the process and resources necessary to deliver the goods and services they receive.

I would urge you not to form opinions as you have until and unless you have taken the time to truly understand the details of the matter, which is to say: Analyze the cost structure tree down to a good level of granularity and then see what you would change in order to reduce consumer costs. Insurance will not be on that list.
That's not a denial. It's a we have yet to confirm.
It makes sense now that you describe it as a dialog box instead of a "magic app that doesn't show up in the cmd-tab switcher", which is how I thought of it before. If it were any other app and I wanted to find the dialog again, I would cmd-tab to the app. I guess the problem is that whatever app it belongs to (Dock.app?) has no place in the cmd-tab switcher.

(on my Mojave machine, it does stay open when I move away from it, when I cmd-tab to something else and then a third something else, "About this Mac" is still visible.)

I don't know where you are getting that from. There is no treatment that guarantees a cure, but there are certainly treatments that have helped some number of people. And testing of people who have symptoms is an integral part of how the health care system decides where to put its resources.
Arguing it's a matter of bias sidesteps the reasoning for lockdowns. This is like when someone dismisses someone for possessing a political bias---that's not an argument.

And framing it as lockdown vs. being able to feed your family is a false dichotomy. It seems like a waste to even get into the finer details if this is where you're coming from, but keep calling it hate while ignoring the criticism.
Ask HN: Acceptable probability of endangering someone's health for no reason
Assume I want to do something that is only for fun but which has a minuscule risk of endangering someone's health. For example, meeting people face to face during this pandemic, when you can't be completely sure that someone won't get infected and suffer a serious version of the illness.

In this kind of situation, a cost-benefit analysis is difficult or impossible since the benefits can't really be quantified.

In practice, people often decide if something is too risky by observing if authority figures or other people in general consider the risk acceptable or unacceptable. But it's not always easy to tell that. For example, the recommendations regarding physical distancing during the pandemic are not clear to me, and the situation is too new for there to be any established norms, at least for what I have noticed.

I haven't been able to find any resources on the subject which consider something other these two approaches. Besides, I think it should be possible to derive an acceptable probability for taking a risk with zero quantifiable benefit, even if the number is not exact. If experts can agree on recommendations for what is acceptable risk, then that can't be entirely arbitrary. Would it be something like one in a billion, or one in a million, or what?
Do you have a cite for that 30% number?
not really, usually there is less competition for developing vaccines as the timelines are more relaxed and it would be a waste of money to have several groups discover the vaccines to the same disease

Multiple different vaccines could (and probably will) be discovered. These may have different mechanisms and tradeoffs and those too will be taken into account when scaling up to population.

Now who owns what, who gets it first, and who gets paid and in what way, those are thorny issues that have not yet been worked out.
It frightens me think that anyone would seriously drink bleach to fight a disease.
It's easier to compare the underlying unit prices of the computer resources needed. Even if the same k8s model is implemented off on multiple platforms, each of the platforms have their own features inherent or ad hoc that are subject to change at any time via internal releases.

Regardless, every cloud host company is offering their own flavoring of a k8s engine which biases their open source sdks to build the networks implementing it on your own towards having various edge cases broken or not implemented at all.

The time and resources it takes to then be sure you've implemented an opensource network and underlying compute resource model as an exact equivalent for calibrated comparison is actually where the large cost of this lies, and that output of that comparison is bound to be different model by model which is designed to be unique per company design.

Tldr the real cost is the amount of time it would take to do this per cloud implementation when the results aren't scalable to other architectural implementations and varying workloads they will support.

I was given the task of doing this with effectively unlimited funds across aws, Google cloud platform and azure with a platform to support one million uses after three months of getting terraform to roll out one piece of it for google which intentionally made it lacking to bias you towards using GKE, we ended up with one implementation of GKE with failover in multiple zones and increasing feature lock-in but only security as a feature lock-in after a year, so we also had to pay for security training pentests and reviews.

The cost of all of this is not likely to provide more benefit the final comparison minus these resource ramp up costs would entail.
