This isn't the Black Death. People aren't dying in numbers that would affect the overall workforce size. It's more like an unusually bad flu epidemic - the main differences being that the deaths are more biased away from people who aren't working anyway, and that we don't shut down the planet over the flu. There might be good reasons to lock down heavily, but that's not one of them.

I'm not saying it isn't.

But in the UK most junctions are yield, so drivers don't approach junctions thinking 'I might have to stop' they think 'I'll have to yield', so if they aren't paying attention their default is to yield.

What is "vendored" in this context?

Verbising nouns confuses me....
Most of the people I know, who say “I could build that in a weekend” mean that they could build a product that solves 90% of the problems in that problem space in a weekend.

And that’s true. The other 10% is what gives you competitive advantage as a product.

The truth is that _if_ the market was empty at the time; then those 90% would give you enough runway to finish the rest of the 10% with a certain high enoufh probability.

I don't know enough about this (how CEOs ought to behave) and I don't know to what extent Elon Musk cares.

But I do know what I'd think in his position: I'd care more about freedom of speech. I believe that I should be capable of saying whatever I want (usual restrictions apply, hate speech etc.). Even if that means that I'm tweeting on a social platform about the share price.

Twitter is not a platform where official stuff should be on. That is what press releases are for. If people believe Twitter, then where should I go (as the new imagined Tesla CEO) to just say whatever the hell I want?

In any case, that's how I would think about it.

You're correct though, it is lying. Lying is a consequence of saying whatever you want to say.

When he wrote that tweet, I thought nothing of it. I just thought that it was his own private ideas that he wrote out in the world because he likes to interact. I know how naive that sounds, but I would be that naive as Tesla's new imagned CEO. And there are a few hints that Elon might be that as well. But of course, that's a different discussion whether he actually is (on paper: probably not, when I look at his behavior: well... it could be).

But the valuation is the number that actually matters, not the number of stocks you own. You can't buy food with stocks, you have to exchange them for money first. If the price of stocks goes down then you own less real value.

This paper is a hilarious dump of WQ's randomly generated formulas that (hopefully) happen to pass in-sample test.

Alpha#33: rank((-1 * ((1 - (open / close))^1)))

This formula trivially reduces to

rank(open/close - 1)

which is an example of a mean-reversion strategy. But: 1) nobody bothered to simplify this formula, 2) as any mean reversion, it is extremely difficult to trade.
In their defense, PR is spectacularly mismanaged. I love the place. I love the food. I love the culture, but there is something really annoying about an island, where everyone is on island time and blackouts are just a part of daily routine.

Virologists often take a functional definition of how much mutation is required to make a new virus. If two different strains have changed so much that immunity to one strain doesn’t provide protection from the other strain then they are considered different viruses.
Since when does a non-conservative CEO mean spouting crazy, uninformed opinions on Twitter? He has repeatedly downplayed the virus, "predicted" there would be zero cases by end of April, his Fremont factory played cat-and-mouse game with county officials for suspending production during lockdown. He's just another billionaire who doesn't care about anything other than his business even if people are dying.
So VDI is prevalent in the severe disease, but it's also prevalant in the general population.

Maybe it happened like that, maybe it didn't. The Wikipedia page on the (possibly) zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2 mentions lots of questions and uncertainties, including whether the Huanan wet market was the source at all (because of the raw meat) or simply a place where infected people spread it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndr...

I'm not going to quote every paragraph casting doubt, but take a look at this (from Wikipedia):

> The first known infections from the SARS-CoV-2 strain were discovered in Wuhan, China.[12] The original source of viral transmission to humans remains unclear, as does whether the strain became pathogenic before or after the spillover event.[18][57][15] Because many of the first individuals found to be infected by the virus were workers at the Huanan Seafood Market,[58][59] it has been suggested that the strain might have originated from the market.[15][60] However, other research indicates that visitors may have introduced the virus to the market, which then facilitated rapid expansion of the infections.

Note that "facilitating rapid expansion" may simply mean that because it was a place with a lot of people grouped together, the infection could have spread more easily -- the reason we need social distancing now -- but it doesn't automatically mean it has to do with raw meat of exotic animals.

Now, it can be the problem is raw meat after all! But it seems to me research is still ongoing about whether this was the real culprit. That's all I'm saying.

Show HN: A device simulator that cycles through many mobile device simulations
This is an example of an open source program called cycler that you can customize to run a program inside a simulator that shows what your program would look like when running on desktop and mobile hardware such as Kindle Fire tablets, Apple IOS devices, etc. You can set the time per device (currently 0.8 seconds), and after it runs through the portrait orientation, it switches to landscape. The only "gotcha" in this product is that you have to write in the Beads language.
Don't lose sight of reality; business closings left and right, layoffs, pay cuts, etc.

Don't let the zero-hedge crowd turn you off to arguments about funny-money from the fed. This is a fairly predictable result. Fed supplies money. Money has to be put to use. Where is productive capital? Interest rates are itty bitty. Stocks look high but .. what else to do? Risk buying high now or inflation later.

But this can only remain decoupled from the economic reality for so long.
We don't know much for sure.

What I've heard from experts in the field, but I don't have sources, is that the type of RNA virus is different from influenza and doesn't mutate as quickly - which is potentially good news for those hoping for a vaccine.

Hi Guys,

It's the first time I'm posting something "real" to HN. I my first app using flutter to be able to manage statuspage.io pages on the go. I just release the first version of it, and many other features are coming.
Currently only available for android, but will release it for iOS as soon as I can get some "sponsors" as I don't have an apple license yet, and in my country it's quite expensive.

Hope you like it, please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Congrats on the launch.

Given the current situation with Zoom, it may help increase trust on HN if you can add information about if you use E2E encryption and delays and location of servers and if its a centralized or de-centralized architecture etc.,

Looks like the feature set perfectly fits the usecase for remote teams, but using something along side Slack like apps, people may feel the friction since Slack itself consumes too much memory among other things. Going around multiple apps itself is a pain. I see that you have them linked through Slack apps.

As an alternative, I personally feel Discord to be a Slack's better version. Discord is used by mainly by gamers around the globe to voice chat during online games. Discord has Pragli + Slack combined - threaded conversations.

- Totally agree. I have all the data on doing percentages. The "score" actually normalizes across their percentage. Will add this more visibly.

- The "last month" is just to give any billionaire a chance to get to the top spot. Also open to making it more.... "last 3 months" or so? We had a lifetime ranking at first, but then the site felt too static and cast a lifetime judgement on people instead of giving them the opportunity to attain a top spot.

- Agreed on the descriptions. All the data was crowdsourced, so we can go through and improve these.

- Suspect in terms of what exactly? We definitely launched early (as one does). Open to more feedback!

I completely disagree with your opinion that the majority of people who have more money got it through personal characteristics like hard work and not partying.

But, that said, so some people were able to learn skills that society values more, get paid more, and are thus able to save more money. Great. But lots of THOSE people got their livelihoods crushed by social distancing. You are saying printing money makes everybody subsidize the people who lost their jobs, but not printing money is bleeding their savings to save other people's lives. How is that right? Like even if you have 6-12months of savings on hand, at the end of this you've drained your personal finances to save someone else's life??

No you don’t if you choose the right attenuated strain, but even if you decided for some insane reason that you had to test the vaccine with a pathogenic strain you do this after you have shown that the vaccine protected the vaccinated person from the attenuated strain.
> but the bump suggests that traders expected it to be even worse.

You're a bit too kind with your wording, it doesn't _suggests_ so much as it literally _means_ that. Plenty of websites show you what investors are expecting, if Tesla says more/less price fluctuates accordingly.

Pushing people off of unemployment insurance, which it’s generally assumed that some states are doing, all while there is no work to go to isn’t a recipe for a depression, it’s a recipe political catastrophe.

I have an idea. What about putting a solar powered radar that lights up a flashing sign when cross traffic is detected to draw the driver's attention. Even better would be coupled with signalling that indicates which direction a vehicle is approaching from. Even more advanced would be to compare the vehicle speeds from both roads, and change the warning from yellow to red flashing lights if a collision is immanent.

Actually, I'd like to see that last part put into place at any hazardous intersection, in case a driver misses seeing a stop sign or red light.

That's right. Trickle down economy is not ideal. It was a worthy experiment and it has failed. It's best to give MMT a shot and provide UBI to the lower rung of the society.
One of my early jobs, I worked for a group of remote sensing scientists that analyzed weather satellite data and the equipment I was responsible for was in an improvised raised floor room with probably the smallest unit Liebert produced. I found out one weekend why there were huge fans scattered about the office - the Liebert sometimes failed for various reasons and times and the 5x 52U racks of Dell PE and Sun E3800 servers and storage got super hot super quick.

I had to rush in the office with my boss, a brilliant remote-sensing PhD who flew into hurricanes with P-3 Orions to make sure the data they were gathering was accurate with what they were getting from the microwave scatterometer on the satellite,
helping him setup fans and shut down equipment that wasn't absolutely necessary.

After that, I resolved to be alerted proactively and scared up a setup with some Sensatronics temp sensors, cacti and nagios so I could get data over time as well as alerts when over a threshold. I also enabled the openmanage alerting and found you could get the ambient temp at the air intake of a poweredge so I got that into SNMP and setup alerts on that as well. Fun times.

Side note: when I first walked in to the server room, I saw some Apple Xserve RAIDs and thought that was odd next to some Dell stuff and he said, those are the only storage units that can handle the G-forces we experience in hurricanes. "The Powervaults just fall right over"

They still had Sun equipment since RHEL was still at v4 and was not fully 64-bit, while Solaris + SPARC had always been 64-bit, and the dataset sizes they were crunching required being able to access RAM-per-process of more than 4GB. MUCH more than.

Sounds fair enough
Basically, when you are growing organs or organoids (or 3d printing organs) with stem cells (which are used for organ on a chip too), you're actually trying to recreate the physical organ itself in it's original structure/function. You can imagine in the extreme the end result of trying to do this with a lung would be actually having a working lung that you could transplant into a person.

Organ on a chip is less about making a lung, amd more about making a very controllable device that that has all the relevant behaviors and characteristics of a lung, so you can experiment with it. The end result of this might be a bunch of chips all connected to eachother with all sorts of tubes, and different cells grown in each tube with exact stimuli of all sorts being applied by an automated system. The goal wouldn't be to make a long you could put into a person. Rather, the goal would be to make something that, when you put a drug in through one of the tubes, would tell you exactly what would happen to the drug and how the lung of a real person would react if you were to give them the drug.

The lines can get blurred, organoids on a chip, 3d printed organs used for research purposes, etc. But in general, (and you'll see this in how the different companies market themselves) growing organs is trying to get functional organs that could eliminate the need for a donor for an organ transplant, and organ on a chip is trying to get perfect research tools to eliminate the need for mice in research.

> This hypothesis ("SARS-Cov19 does not confer immunity") falls roughly under the same category as intelligent design: the claim is so exceptional that it's a priori unlikely to be found true, and laypeople are taking normal scientist hedge-speak and exaggerating the meaning in their heads (e.g. "evolution is just a theory").

So call the null hypothesis "there will be some level of immunity." But then you see some people testing positive again, and it's reasonable to want to know why. I didn't see people officials leaping to planning for zombie apocalypse "we're all gonna get it over and over forever" scenarios, I saw people saying we needed to dig deeper.

A lot of people in this discussion are refuting a straw man idea that everyone had decided "clearly you get no immunity at all".
