Going several months without a rest leads to intense withdrawal headaches when I finally take a break - comparable to allergy induced sinus pain.

I don't blame them for posting a dodgy preprint (that's what preprints are for) but I do blame them for going on a press blitz for their dodgy preprint. It's not a responsible way to use their platform.
Cases is a very poor metric for this because a country that does zero tests will have zero cases, and therefore look very good.

Total deaths IMHO is much more comparable statistic between countries. By that metric it looks a little better for the US, since we have slightly less than a third of the world death total.
I don't know about you, but when I started learning data structures, my professor told me AVL trees lost the popularity battle with red-black trees, and people tended to use red-black trees more. He didn't mention AVL trees besides a footnote. Nowadays even red-black trees aren't favored due to practical concerns like caches, so I assume AVL trees are very niche.
I'll bow to your experience; we can't just ship the same crops to people.

Still, growing crops to feed to cows to feed to people is an inefficient path to getting calories to people. Grow people crops, skip the cows.

Someone elsewhere on HN introduced the amount of suffering in the world to the topic, specifically people suffering to allow western quality of life. The later qualification is more interesting than it seems as to me it doesn't make it much more shameful to have needless suffering if you do or do not need people. (How badly do we need those boomers? Inappropriate question? yes?)

If 1% is 1 million then 30% is 30 million and 100% is 100 million? I thought we had more people?

But lets assume for sake of argument that we've over reacted. Its pretty fantastic the way all countries in the world [few exceptions aside] took the matter so seriously and managed to take collective action this quickly. Despite all the death and suffering we now have a legitimate reason to be hopeful and imaginative about what else we can do and what it might cost.

The situation is truly weirder than fiction: The Corona lock down might have saved [oh, say] 80 million elderly people (unscientific number). It might in 2020 also push 180 million [additional] incomes below $5.50/day, 150 m below $3.20/day, 60 m below $1.90/day. We can barely imagine the long term effects of that. Safe to say it ain't pretty.

The protocols I've seen involve using the signal strength, including knowing the transmission strength, which will probably allow treating people on the other side of any semi-solid wall as "not in contact".
Looking at that thread, it's not clear whether the problem is the archives or moving some other configuration aspects; it seems like they think an archive-less move is easier, but given there's no support at all...
I must agree that I insulted the class of Snake Oil Salesmen by comparing them to university professors that went against their Hippocratic Oath and any kind of academic ethic to promote their agenda by making unsupported statements to general population media. They have blood on their hands and they should be held accountable once we finish mourning our dead people.
We don’t even have enough PPE for current use levels yet do we? I hope people are trying to solve issues like that too, but I feel we’ve got quite a ways to go.
This reminds me of the Russian gentleman who received an offer for a new credit card but didn’t like the fine print. So he changed it. And mailed the contract back to the bank who... didn’t read the fine print and accepted the terms.

When he sued the bank to enforce his contract for a no-fee account with an unlimited line of credit at 0% interest he won. Fortunately for the bank he was prudent in his spending despite his access to unlimited funds so he hadn’t racked up much of a bill.

Nothing's going to come from this, and Twitter doesn't need to care, because the conflict is about Disney using other people's tweets in their own marketing material. Twitter's rights aren't being infringed if Disney does that, because Twitter doesn't own people's tweets.

The only way to challenge this is for you to tweet something to Disney that they then use in their marketing material. That allows you to send them a cease and desist, because you didn't give them permission to use your tweet in that way. At that point Disney is just going to say "ok", shitlist you, and stop using your tweet, because that's cheaper than any alternative.

This is just overreaching bullshit CYA legalese that's never going to get challenged in court.

Well, it was a horrible way for the US to get to experiment with a wide-scale UBI system and create a viable model. One that was previously thought to be unfathomable, but honestly I'll take it.

And maybe because of my age, but 2008 was way worse than this. This doesn't seem like it will create waves of lost generations, for startes no one is being evicted from their Homes (yet) and no eviction systems are in place in many parts of the US.

> The bill comes as the IRS is about to begin mailing out checks approved by the recent COVID-19 relief package. Those will come printed with President Donald Trump's name on them, it was revealed this week.

Lets see what we learn from this, I'm personally cautiously optimistic on a Human level if this is the step being proposed. I'm just having a hard time internalizing how this is all being done while a clown like Trump is in office... I mean if this Andrew Yang, of course, maybe even Sanders, but Trump?!

Just poor communication, they're actually saying anyone who responds to their tweet with the hashtag may be featured in some May 4th Disney Special, and the ToS are implicit.

Commonality does not make negative emotions less terrible. A support group doesn't make a condition more or less common. A support group makes you less alone, which is another way of saying you feel your emotions are validated and youre relationship to your emotion changes in that group. Some people need a support group to change their relationship to an emotion.
Most people living in the USA are idiots compared to most people who read/comment on HackerNews.

Similarly, most people consume more than they produce. Because non-idiots are so amazing, they enable idiots to have an amazing lifestyle in developed countries.

This is patently obvious by the fact that these countries have borders - those borders are there to protect idiots, not neuro-surgeons, from immigrants destroying their cushy government-sponsored way of life.

Neuro-surgeons would only benefit from open borders and abolishment of minimum wage laws - they'd each immediately hire a dozen servants, which is what already happens in countries like India.
Even if the employer opens up, they will not call all of their workers back. So the workers who are not called back can still claim unemployment .
Where I am in Colorado the decision to re-open is being made at the county and city level based on local information

Rural areas that are less impacted may reopen with little risk. More urban areas need to be more careful.

I don't think it's necessary to spread fear about reopening. Hopefully your local authority is well-informed enough to make good decisions regarding reopening.

I don't see how the math for that works out unless literally everyone in NYC is already infected.

0.1% of the population of New York City has already died from Covid. The only way to get the CFR much lower is if virtually everyone is an asymptomatic carrier.

Well, some may find posting said preprint particularly questionable simply because it had Ioannidis' name on it, and he's primarily known for his emphasis on standards of evidence.
> If herd immunity is the strategy we're pursuing, then we should lift restrictions enough to meet hospital capacity, so we can get to herd immunity as quickly as possible and get the economy back to something approaching normal levels of activity

If it were remotely possible to precisely control the transmission rate such that we stay just under hospital capacity, there would at least be a coherent argument for this. I'd disagree, since a huge part of slowing the spread is to buy time for other mitigation options, such as therapeutics, contact tracing, etc. That said, it has been immensely frustrating that CA and SFBA leadership hasn't provided more clear guidance on what, exactly, we're waiting for.
Is there a single state in the US that has not waived the “active job search” requirement for unemployment benefits at this point?

> what's the bad part of tracking opens?

I don't want the sender to know at what times I open the e-mails, from which e-mail clients/browsers and networks. That is none of their business. In most cases I wouldn't care, but certain people in certain cases may have reasons not to share this information. There's also no telling whether this information is then passed on to someone else like an ad network or marketing platform.

I believe major e-mail providers already provide aggregated data to senders about how their e-mails are classified; this is Microsoft's for example: https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/snds/

I live in a rural region of ~300,000 people with less than 100 reported cases. 2000 negative tests.

The last I heard one of the county public health officials say anything, it was that they don't have enough testing to know what is going on in the community.
> Nowadays even red-black trees aren't favored due to practical concerns like caches

Not sure if that's true. In addition to the main linux trunk using them, Java 8 included them also as an improvement to their HashMap (I found this by googling), so I don't they are not favored anymore.

Edit: language.
If this continues until fall. I'd live somewhere else where the economy is open, and take all necessary precautions to protect others and myself.
Not to be pedantic but "Silicon Valley janitor" (at least if it's for a big enough tech co) _might_ be doing OK. Various tech companies have publicly committed to paying their own hourly staff and subcontracted workers like food service / janitorial at full standard pre-shutdown rates: https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/06/big-tech-commits-to-paying...

(Though I have no insight into whether or not they've actually followed through on these public commitments).
As a footnote, I came across a couple interesting papers on the topic of vaccine contamination from around 2012. They talk about the usual development time being 8-10 years, and about a few recent cases of vaccine contamination.

It's remarkable that people are begging their governors to take away their civil liberties.

Table 2 is all a rational person should need to see to realize the quarantine is the work of fear-mongering by politicians and the media:

(For those who need an explanation - over the last two months, the data compiled in this chart shows that for people under 54, they are vanishingly unlikely to die from COVID. It shows that there is no rational reason that people under 54 should be locked down.

The flu killed 5x more people under 24 in the last two months than COVID did)
Testing first, scientific analysis next, and opening last.

Or people can go to an Oklahoma restaurant packed shoulder-to-shoulder without masks with their governor and expedite the restart the pandemic curve to end up with 100k more deaths.
I know what you're saying, but we _also_ need to focus on this specific government, because they make the situation bad from the get-go, rather than just potentially bad.
Germany, right? I bet you have a lot of local competition. In bay area i cant' even order IPA (first aid antiseptic) anywhere at all.
A "concrete plan" in this situation would include milestones (based on infection rates and the like) for easing restrictions and for re-imposing them if things regress, rather than specific dates, which can't really be forecast.

For example, here's Nashville's phased-reopening plan: https://www.asafenashville.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ro... ... It's based around phased reopenings of businesses as specific periods of time elapse with an improvement in metrics.

I'm pretty worried about my family. My dad barely survived 2008.

My extended family is heavily dependent on commercial real estate. My dad is the least (relatively) successful/smallest of the family. He's an agent (and small owner). At the end of 2019 helped facilitate a HUGE __ insert a top firm __ reit deal; $10 digits in a small ish state. Literally the top of the market. There's a reason his friend who sold that insane Sq Ft was already super wealthy. The small buildings my dad owns sounds like many can't pay rent.

I personally hedged a bit and including put REIT exposure. But despite having a super pessimistic view on the economy, seeing losses now is scary and I'm thinking about closing (i did move my main savings into much safer territory before the biggest drop and govt said they will buy unlimited bonds/debt..). That idiom the market can remain irrational longer comes to mind
No, natural gas is not ubiquitous. Maybe within certain urban and suburban areas, but once you get a little rural you are out of luck.

Then again, a lot of people don’t realize cable internet isn’t a given, even within 15 minutes of the capital city of a state in the contiguous United States. They also don’t have natural gas available. :-)

> > They have specifically said, publicly, multiple times, that they've never seen an increase like this before in the history of their business.

> That’s true, but not that relevant.

It was in direct refutation of your claim that they have dealt with this type of load before. They haven't and they have said that they have never dealt with anything like this before. That's why it's relevant.

> Customer support is a controllable expense. When customer support lines spike past a threshold they simply lack the people to take additional calls etc.

You clearly don't understand Amazon if you think this is true. Customer service is their number two core competency after logistics. It is paramount to their success.

Besides, what do you think happens when they stop answering customer service calls? Do you think people just go away? Obviously customer service is important to their business or they wouldn't have it. They can't just drop calls. So no, it's not really controllable.

> What prime SLA?

They're still giving credits if you call in and complain that your item didn't arrive within two days. Even though it tells you before you order that it won't.

Because they care about customer service.
Curious, where does one get products cheaper than Apple.com?
(I believe Apple controls the prices third party resellers can set)

I've seen the occasional markdown on Amazon and MacMall but Apple's prices are generally pretty standard.
Problem is that return policy for Amazon is excellent, but completely nonexistent or cumbersome with other suppliers. That in itself is pretty much a deal breaker for competitors.
That seems to rely on an assumption that there's no variation in amount or quality of job searching effort, above the minimum required, which might be influenced. It also assumes inability to fake a job search, or sabotage an otherwise legitimate one, which might let an individual so intending to fall below the required minimum. The latter seems questionable, the first seems wrong.
Excedrin is acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine so it helps with the headache and allows you to taper off the caffeine. I trust the accuracy of GSK’s dosage infinitely more than I trust some gas station caffeine pills for college kids.

Is there any research with "solid data" and any meaningful conclusions? From what I see most of the research is about one parameter out of the 20 or 20 parameters that could affect any practical conclusion. So while the research might be scientifically correct it is not really useful in any way. Nobody can explain why this virus spread more in one place than another, why Sweden or Japan or Germany or Italy got such various results with very different policies. There is no correlation, there is no even an agreement whether wearing a mask is good or not. His "flawed data" is as good as any other research

The thing I'm confused by is why a costco is open that has like 1000 people per day and a flower shop that has 20 customers per day isn't open. Is the flower shop dangerous? Is it less essential on the yearly timeframe? This lockdown isn't measured in days right now, it's measured in months. What's "essential" in days is not what's "essential" in months.
