Recessions are kind of like forest fires from what I see.

They are destructive, painful, cause loss of property, kill things and generally are undesirable. But (to an extent) they are also necessary.

In the Western US fire used to be a regular occurrence. Natives would start fires, lighting would start fires, they would burn until they ran out of fuel and burn out. But this kept forests healthy. There used to be more bigger stronger pine trees and less undergrowth. Somewhere along the line it was decided fire was bad and we were going to set up fire towers and stop fires with maximum effort.

Which was all good, until it doesn't work and we simply can't because there is too much built up fuel and the fire rages out of control completely destroying the forest. The previous fires, while more regular, were smaller because the amount of fuel never accumulated to the levels it does with modern fire suppression methods.

In this analogy we've somehow decided that we are going to stop people from experiencing economic pain at all costs. This is humanistic. And we want things to keep growing and we don't want to see destruction. But what happens is a lot of trash builds up. Malinvestment. Corruption. Paper profits over actual production. Unlimited credit spent on consumer items. No personal savings. No problem, firemen Uncle Sam and the Federal Reserve are here to save the day! And no one can argue with this happening because who wants to see anyone get burned through no fault of their own?

But (just to torture the analogy) what I suspect will eventually happen is enough malinvestment, corruption and lack of responsible behavior will build up they won't be able to put the fire out. No one will. And it will burn the system flat to the ground instead of just clearing out a little brush and giving space to strong trees.

This isn't to suggest the government shouldn't help in this case. It's an unusual situation obviously. Just allowing little fires to burn prevents big fires later. Everything can't be free to everyone all the time. Reality doesn't work that way unfortunately. Failing to behave ethically, productively and responsibly, failing to save and to prepare for rough times, trying to consume and grow unsustainable without regard to risk can't be forever consequence free. That's not a moral statement, just a practical one.
Well, anyone who has regular visits to a doctor at all, or has prescriptions filled regularly at a pharmacies, will probably pestered about getting flu shots yearly, at least.

If you are young and healthy, I don't think they are pestering you for your sake, but to build immunity and prevent its spread. Healthy people should really look at flu shots as a kind of duty to their fellow citizens, who may be more vulnerable.
Perhaps not, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a risk premium in your compensation. If you're more likely to die or be critically injured earlier than someone else of the same age solely because of the work you do, and your family depends on your income, it's not unreasonable to expect to be paid more to make up for the lost expected lifetime income.

(This is true for all dangerous professions, BTW - not just law enforcement and medical personnel.)
I've been revisiting the game Age of Empires with my friends while keeping at home. Today I learned that even that part of the game mechanic stems from some research!

It's a great game for an online social event, because you have to commit to the 2+ hours it is going to take to play. A lot of online games nowadays are optimized from dropping in and out amongst a pool of random people, but AoE makes you do the work to get people involved and stick to that commitment.

Virus going to do what it's going to do. People can choose to stay home but this shelter in place stuff is wrecking the lives of the poor and the people who are most vulnerable.
Many years ago a brand new server room with its own dedicated HVAC systems being used for electronic home arrest nationwide started having all the machines fail each night every weekend. As you can imagine this was a panic mode situation and they had some of the sysadmins stay overnight. It turns out that the HVAC people despite knowing what it was used for, told the and having in fact been in the room setting up the underfloor programmed the A/C to shut off over the weekend to save electricity. When drama flows downhill from the Feds no-one is happy and the resulting meeting was almost as uncomfortable as the one after Qwest deliberately cut both sides of a fibre ring and then tried to sell us service.

(We later found out Qwest's field people didn't want to cut a different carrier's fibre so they called back to confirm and were told to cut it or not come back in the morning.)
There is no "typical" I'm afraid. Whether a test is useful or not depends on error rates, priors, and application of the result.

For example, consider this scenario:

- Virus has R0 of 2.5

- the test for the current infection (i.e. not antibody) is cheap and abundant

- the test has 20% false positives

- the test has 20% false negatives

- Application: test every single person and confine everyone who tested positive to their homes, releasing the rest. Repeat weekly. Take no other action.

Result #1: 20% of the population are in isolation. 20% of your economy is stalled, rather than 100%.

Result #2: 1 in 5 infected will go undetected. Still 4 out of 5 are isolated, reducing the number of infected out there by a factor of 5, therefore your R0 drops from 2.5 to 0.5 The number of infected people on the street gets cut in half every week. Epidemic fizzles out.

So even low-precision tests are useful. What is useless is tests that do not have a reliable metric for false positive / negative. Which is what many of the AB tests are.

> hides from the immune system (could explain the asymptomatic people) until the right moment when you feel weak after a workout

I'm pretty sure this is what happened to me. I felt fine, did a big workout for the first time in a few weeks, and a few hours later, came down with a low grade fever, which progressed into an illness that very closely tracked the symptoms and timeline of COVID-19.

The good news: I was recovering in a house with my two parents around age 60, and my younger brother. I spent most of the two weeks in my room, trying to avoid any contact, and nobody else in the house got sick (it's been over a month since I recovered, so we're pretty confident of that at this point). So, it's not inevitable that you'll transmit it if you take distancing measures early!

Due to the design of the screens (small capsules containing charged particles that move back and forth to create either black or white) the capsules can retain the charge that is passed through them if not cycled correctly.

This will cause the particles within to stay in whatever side of the capsule they were last in, essentially causing a dead “pixel”.

If this happens across as a whole image like a logo or text, it’ll permanently burn in.

This is solved by some flashing between colours, hence why the screens take so long to refresh.

Up for more detailed info myself though!

Show HN: Summarize your time availability in seconds
Hey guys, when people ask to schedule a meeting/interview/whatever, I've always found it hard to respond with a list of time availabilities.

I always tabbed back and forth between my Google calendar to construct a message that accurately listed my free time, but this was painful.

My site helps me do this small task, and I wanted to see if anyone else had this same problem, had some feedback for me, or if there were any other simple solutions and I've wasted my time building this crap.

Note: I've yet to have my app verified by Google, so if you wish to import your own Google calendar on to my site, the consent screen will look sketchy.
The ability to tinker was my argument for Android for years. And if I want to tinker Android is still the way.

After a point of tinkering, flashing Roms, getting stuck in hairy situations where your phone is bootlooping and you don't know if you will get it back.

At some point having to mess with configuration gets annoying.

I kinda view this like an experiment to see how the other side is living with my eye very much on Android waiting for an excuse to jump back over.

I wish there were more good options for De-Google'd Android shipped from a vendor that actually cared about privacy and had the chops to make a smooth experience

Not a double blind study, just another study showing that people taking hydroxychloroquine for lupus or arthritis suffered no deaths or hospitalizations in Italy.

However, since many cases are asymptomatic anyway, these results could be coincidental despite the large group studied.

The most compelling anecdotal evidence is that lupus is usually a strong comorbidity for infectious disease, and in this case it appears to not be.
To detect the boundaries of your rules to determine whether they can be implemented reasonably by an arbitrary individual and to illustrate that there are limits where your own stated rules would fail and you likely violate them. So far I have determined from your rules that you should never step in front of an electric vehicle under any condition. The driver could look right at you and accidentally step on the pedal.

After all, situational awareness doesn't bring people back to life.

I heard of similar intrigues among the Tibetans. Metal from meteorite were considered to have special properties sought after by both Tibetan Buddhist practitioners and sorcerors. They made the meteorite metals into a number of ritual implements. Some of them are considered to take on the very beings they subdued and sealed, and thus were prized by both the ruling Buddhists and the sorcerers for the power it carried.

The last bit was interesting:

"... the most important explanation is a theological one. Because relics were infused with the living presence of a saint, capable of working miracles, they were perfectly able to stop a thief. Any relic that didn’t wish to be moved could simply become too heavy to lift, or cause all the doors of the church to spontaneously lock. By this logic, if a relic was stolen, it wanted to be."

It reminds me of the stories Buddhist relics (not necessarily Tibetan) that was similar. Though in those cases, they involved thieves bent on stealing it for personal gain and somehow would get into a series of coincidences that lead to its recovery.
I don't see how this is tone deaf. Are people not allowed to hope for fun things until the end of the pandemic?

As far as I can tell, this paper from Germany actually took the time to detect live virus vs PCR positive: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.05.20030502v...

They found that, for all patients in the small study (N=16), none tested positive for infectious virus after day 8 post-onset, despite testing positive for the virus in RNA over 2 weeks after illness onset. This, to me, is encouraging.
They should face jail time.

You don’t get re-infected by HSV or chronic hepatitis; you don’t recover in the first place. In the first case the virus hides from the immune system, in the second it never properly overcomes the infection.

The other is "why so many employees." As if one guy writes Salesforce in a weekend and then that's all there is to it.
I believe the capability of humans to synthesize sufficient amounts of D3 under many circumstances makes it a hormone, not whether or not I’m synthesizing it right now. It doesn’t suddenly go from being a hormone to a vitamin once I took up an office job, I just stopped doing the activities required to self-synthesize it.

I think things get very tricky to define when you need at least one compound that can complete some biological process, but there are several different potential compounds that could do the job, some of which have to come from diet and others can by synthesized by the human body.
What did I miss? Such confusion
If that’s the case, then 99% of all videos on MSNBC’s YouTube channel should be removed for misinformation. All they do is lie constantly about everything and you don’t ever see a single video of theirs removed like the physician’s video. And that’s hilarious that you think Fauci is trying to help this countryDo you not realize that Fauci is the one who sent a $3,700,000 grant to the lab in Wuhan to continue testing on this virus when our Dept of Homeland Security deemed it to much of a public health risk to keep testing on this virus in the US like Fauci and his team were doing under the Obama administration. If Fauci wouldn’t have outsourced the testing of this deadly contagious virus to China, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess.
If these companies want to take climate change seriously, they in fact should make any role that can be worked remotely, well remote. After apple/facebook/google put in their company wide wfh policy during the initial covid outbreak it was so refreshing to see unclogged freeways and clear air in the sfbay area. I'd hate for california resorting to taxing these companies due to climate change but having a job that can be done anywhere and forcing a brutal commute on employees is bad for the environment, bad for the employees mental and physical health and just doesn't make any sense in a post-covid world.
yay for UCI! Really interesting product in ZeroTier by the way.

But yes, I think there is a massive gap in knowledge here. It's apparent that a lot of the students aren't really interested in CS, just trying to get a degree and a solid job. I think with the competitiveness of college these days kids have lost the freedom to be curious or actually learn about the things that interest them.

I also think there's a wide divide in the quality of teachers, and its a well known problem among the department.

I certainly do not recommend taking sunlight orally (lol etc)

Over exposure to sunshine is a bad idea. Depending on latitude, time of year, skin colour and a few other very well understood factors determines what is a safe exposure to the sun. We all know this already. Getting outside generally involves fresh, moving air. There is also the risk of gentle, through moderate to vigorous exercise.

Wear a hat and sunscreen if required but a good thing you can do to fight this nasty (all other things being equal) is take moderate exercise outside daily. Don't overdo it and keep away from other people.

I won't recommend a dose of Vit D because I am not a doctor but this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D#Recommended_levels is probably a good start.

Haha, right, that is the natural syllogism that one would arrive at. The missing pieces of the picture are the prior probabilities of accidental leaking vs. coerced leaking and the value of the individual. For a spy in danger of being exposed, yes, technology which guaranteed violent death on exposure would be fantastically desirable. I won't condescend to you by walking through the entire thing, but I think you can tell I'm not an extremist and have left out all the bits about the ROI etc.

Social media use is not generally associated with higher degrees of happiness or satisfaction, but in fact in some demographics like adolescent girls with increased self-harm and loneliness.

The rise in loneliness (and its associated effects) over the last ten years that thas largely coincided with the advent of social media have been so extreme that some countries like the UK have created a distinct ministry and government strategies to deal with it.
Oh I remember this! Was hilarious!
The problem is that you're basically countering what is well-established fact over the history of our nation. The SC has been faced with First Amendment cases before and made it pretty clear there are limitations (rights are conditional).

It seems very likely that the Supreme Court would side with "governments can restrict the movement of people during health emergencies especially if there is reasonable science supporting that". I guess we don't know unless they take up such a case.

My statements are purely practical; I've never "fought for my rights" or "lived in a place lacking them", but my ancestors did, and in ever sense, the conditions of my rights seem to be as unrestricted as is possible within a large nation that follows the rule of law.
why does that seem unlikely?
Not in this case. My brother works for Roche and is involved in producing the tests. He told me that all tests, except the ones from Abbott, are very not accurate at this moment.

That's the idea behind "variolation", which was used before there were vaccines. It's risky, since you might get infected anyway, or perhaps the dose isn't enough to work.

Making strong guarantees that people will become immune and won't be infected is part of what makes coming up with a vaccine hard. It's apparently pretty easy and quick to come up with vaccine candidates.
