I guess it depends on your role and how you execute it to a large extent. The OP mentioned certain roles that are to a large extent possible to wfh. Maybe 3 out of 5 days one can wfh.

Also in respect to Bay Area it certainly hurts productivity if you have to spend 2 hours everyday in commute. Unless your role means constantly blabbering on the phone you just can’t work while commuting. And I would argue if you do spend most of the time yapping on the phone then it shouldn’t matter if you are doing it remotely except for few cases where face to face is absolutely necessary.
It seems that the authors misunderstood the Boston study they are citing:

> In a Boston homeless shelter, 100% of 147 COVID-19 positive subjects were asymptomatic [3].

That study actually excluded N=15 symptomatic people:

> The original cases (N=15) were identified sequentially over a 5-day period, and each was expeditiously removed from the shelter population at the time of symptom recognition. These individuals predated the implementation of universal testing procedures and are excluded from this study.

So, it's rather unsurprising that 100% of the remaining people were asymptomatic.
There was already a change of leadership in the wake of the MAX issues. Are you suggesting that more changes need to be made? If so, which would be most impactful and why?

Someone else either in this video or one of the others they said viral shedding in COVID19 is a 1000 times higher than SARS. There is a paper up on the CDC website that estimated r0 between 3.8 and 8.7, which is much higher than initial estimates. Matches the observation that in crowded indoor locations (nursing homes, prisons, homeless shelters, cal centers) everyone becomes infected within days to a week.

UCSF's grand rounds on covid19 go up every Thursday. Upside, high quality distilled information. Downside, hour and a half long.
It seems I disagree w/ many points.

> - Leave actionable comments
> suggestion: This is not worded correctly.
> Can we change this to match the wording of the marketing page?

If I already know how it should be, I prefer to quote it right away and save work, instead of asking and leaving room for misinterpretation. Asking also seems dishonest if I'm not truly inviting a discussion. I would still add a rationale so others can correct me though ("Changing this to match the wording on the marketing page").

> - Combine similar comments

Sometimes it's better to be repetitive in the name of exactness, because most review tools are line-oriented. Otherwise I have to write a comment "See lines A, B, C, D, E", and the person asking for the review now has more work to do searching all the instances.

> - Replace “you” with “we”

Better yet, I replace all pronouns w/ "this". Criticise the work, don't make it personal if it's not necessary. "We" feels forced team-building, and dishonest if I'm not actually going to put in work.

It seems these practices are created because people are using reviews as some form of conversation, and then everybody is stepping on egg shells. I believe if the entire team agrees to see it as just annotations (it's not a performance evaluation, leave your ego at the door, etc) these problems are avoided.

(I can see "why" you need these guidelines though, I guess it depends on what kind of work culture you have, company size, and so on.)
I have never seen this to be the case. Do you have any data?
I don't know much about this football so it is probably way more nuanced than I'm giving it credit for, but I'm actually disappointed this is not about American Football. I think it is an interesting problem in that there is both the play calling decision made by the coach, and then the choices each (highly specialized) agent makes during execution. In addition to learning the physics to actually execute well of course.

There is also a nice hierarchical structure i.e. there is a clear outcome to each play, to each set of downs, to each possession.

Obviously this mostly has to do with personal preference, and I know that's all you were commenting on. But I've encountered enough people that seem to think football is a mindless game that I wanted to get a comment out there when I saw the topic come up.
It doesn't say ALL other people are waiting for you to introduce yourself to them. I think the point is more that you miss 100% shots you don't take so don't let your fear of rejection prevent you from trying.

I'm not saying we should discount this, and in fact it's a reasonable hypothesis.

But the fact remains it's still under investigation; we do not (yet) know where and how it originated for certain, or whether the origin was an exotic meat wet market.

Even that bats were involved is not certain.

> while ‘ennui’ refers to a mental state that is chronic and driven primarily by dispositional (personality-based) factors.

Anecdotally I would think it's more prevalent in people with narcissistic personality traits during depression (speaking of friends here not acquaintances), maybe it even could be medication dependent . Off course it ought to be more common but maybe not expressed in other personality types, a depressed person with schizoid traits probably wouldn't even complain in a first place, so who knows.

There are lots of things that are fine in some situations for some people, but addictive in others. I'd be interested to see your data for your claim that Facebook isn't addictive. But there's no reason it couldn't be; things like gambling are very much addictive without having to inject anything.

Also, because we made a mistake decades ago doesn't mean we aren't allowed to complain about or correct it now. Cigarette smoking is a fine example of that. It was a mistake to start, but now that we better understand how bad it is for people, we're slowly ending it.

I think you've missed the point behind why bankruptcy is bad. It's bad because it directly harms the people living in that state, which is something you didn't addressed at all in your post. It's hyper-focused on taxation and economic performance. It's callous.

States pay first responders - medics, firefighters, police, teachers - fund projects, and invest in their communities. State governments themselves employ huge amounts of people. They fund homeless shelters and food banks and all sorts of public services. It would be incredibly harmful to these communities to have their support systems that they depend on removed. Not to mention not being able to pay first responders during a crisis. Hows that for a moral hazard?

I also do not see how your post addresses the fact that blue states are overwhelmingly net contributors in federal taxes, and how red states are overwhelmingly net takers. It seems like it warps your view of price discovery, since the government has for decades guaranteed the bond prices of red states. The consistent federal allocation of tax money towards the everday failure of red states totally discredits your theory weeding out "institutional rot" during a crisis, and of optimal taxation.
Meh. There are plenty of human cell line derived assays for things like membrane permeability, liver toxicity, etc.

Those assays are super helpful, but don't replicate what happens in humans. They are good boxes to check, and can help weed out compounds early, but just because a compound passes the assay doesn't guarantee something weird won't pop up in humans.

But they didn't even check the Vitamin D levels. They only checked patients that had Vitamin D levels checked by physicians. So presumably this was a different population that was more sick by definition, because their physicans were checking them for Vitamin D deficiency. There aren't many good inpatient indications for checking Vitamin D. It's check for not good reasons sometimes, but most likely these patients were being followed by an outpatient doctor who was looking for something to explain some symptom, test result or problem that they were having.

I don't think this is a foregone conclusion by any means. Many countries have gotten growth rates low enough that even after 2 years, their whole population won't have gotten it. Some countries might opt to infect everyone (as the US seems to be doing, due largely to chaos and incompetence), but I don't think it's the only option.

"remdesivir’s polymerase inhibitor mechanism can reduce viral load, experts said. However, all available data is still empirical in nature, and load reduction may not translate into clinically relevant outcomes like reducing hospital stay or decreasing mortality
(https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/comment/gilead-rem...)

Remdesivir is an element similar to one the cells use to create protein chains. When used instead of the real element it stops the chain. This limits the ability of the virus to create new copies.

Remdesivir is difficult to make. About 8 liters of starting material is used to create a milli-liter of product which is about 1 injections. It appears that each patient may require multiple injections.

Remdesivir is not a vaccine.

Remdesivir might reduce viral load (number of virus particles).
The relationship between viral load, which is high in the beginning but less later, does not necessarily translate to sickness or death.

First month or so at my new employer, big consultancy firm for a financial institution.
Had a fairly complex distributed monolithic application integrated with Tibco EMS, Oracle DB and distributed XE transactions.

Regularly, but randomly, in production, after receiving a good amount of messages in the input queues, (which then got rerouted to other event queues for parallel processing) some DB transactions simply were getting stuck. Not rolled back, but stuck in limbo -- after a while the DB simply refused new transactions because so many were stuck.
Nobody got a clue on why that was happening, it meant regular manual restart of the services and re-feeding of the failing messages.
Users started to get fed up and the project threatened to fail.

Got into it, after couple of weeks of investigations and trial and errors with all possible weird flags, turned out that the version of Tibco EMS had a wierd behavior with distributed transaction when the queues got full of messages (queues had 50MB size limit).

Instead of rolling back gracefully the JMS+JDBC XE transaction, it...kinda exited with an IO error.

Turned out that newer versions of Tibco EMS fixed that issue, but no way to ask ops to install that new version.
Since upgrading was out of the question, the actual fix was to enable message compression to limit the size of the messages coming into the queues, turned out that the XML we sent there were up to 1.5MB (!)

After discovering that, became basically a war hero and respected by the client as the "savior of the project". Good times.
Ask HN: Startups/Companies Working on Simulation?
I've always thought doing large-scale biological or economic simulations would be an incredibly powerful tool if it can be done well enough. Imagine being able to run clinical trials for new drugs in a simulation in 1 day instead of 1 year. Of course this is currently science fiction, but I'm wondering if there are any companies or startups working on this kind of problem?

Whether or not a specific construction is well defined depends on the system you are using. This representation is certainly well definable.

How are you handling connections? I think the original ngrok had a control connection and then opened a new connection for each request. I think they have now switched to multiplexing. I've heard multiplexing multiple HTTP connections over a single HTTP connection can have issues if there is packet loss.

For example if you have 1% chance of dropping a packet, and your conversation involves 1 packet then if you have 10 conversions each with its own TCP connection you will average 0.1 conversations being stalled from packet loss.

But if you multiplex those 10 conversations over 1 TCP connection then you will average ~ 1 conversation being stalled from packet loss.

I'm guessing this is not such a big problem with typical packet loss and a low number of conversations but if you are pushing a lot of conversations simultaneously over a single TCP connection then it could become noticeable.

Assuming it’s about as bad as the flu, fine, but we have herd immunity to the flu via vaccines and antibodies, plus people with the flu are symptomatic relatively quickly. Infect the entire US population with covid-19 and you lose ca. 0.5% of the population in one swoop, or about 1.5 million people. Just like the flu, but not, and the full consequences of the infection won’t really start showing up for a couple weeks.
