Not to mention that death lags infection by 1-2 weeks, your site shows that pretty nicely (the lull in new infections several weeks ago mirrors the lull in new deaths).

We haven't crested the peak in death until a few weeks after we crest new infections, and it doesn't look like we've done that yet.
Any suggestions for where to get green beans? Sweet Maria's has come up before in conversations with friends, but if there's some amazing source for them, I'd love to know!
Maybe you can pipe all your heat and cold to central locations and have some kind of heat broker. There’s also a lot of heat in your attic.
If you're in the Bay Area and need more computer things, give Central Computers a try. Their website is delightfully simple.

This article recommends hitting up major brands on their websites, which is ok for all of them except Dell. Dell's website is an absolute shitshow.

I've been using Google Express and liked it quite a bit.
10kW on the roof and a Sanden heat pump hot water set to only run 9-5. I get credit from the Energy Australia for all the summer months which I spend on on the AC heat pump in winter. 25 year warranty on the panels and 20 on the micro inverters. The economics stack up.
I thought it was firmware too, but it appears to be more of a key value store block level access engine, and improves mongo performance.

I got really excited thinking it was an open source nvme fpga core.
Yes. Except mobx ;)
I like to use function components together with class based observable view models. Only a single hook wires them up. Works like a charm and avoids all the IMHO confusing hook complexity.
Yes, this was a big constraint on the design of the overall system; there's been a couple that have popped up.
Water usage basically scales with household size. GP probably isn't a single dude living in a studio apartment taking navy showers and planning his meal prep to minimize dish washing. Combine that with an electric water heater (almost always more expensive to run than natural gas) and a nearly triple digit electricity bill isn't surprising.
Heh, Bezos has the deepest pockets on the planet - - - and a fast and loose zipper as per X rated images into his cellphone and beyond . . . let him sweat the coming AVALANCHE of similar lawsuits once this one prevails.
My guess for the main reason Reddit feels so toxic would be younger demographic whose primary concern is demonstrating how much "smarter" they are than an average person. The commenting guidelines are also super lax, and the topics covered are very diverse.

Which is mostly the opposite of HN, which skews older and actually more educated, comment guidelines are much stricter, and the topics covered are much more technical and narrow. Even non-tech topics covered on HN (e.g., in-depth discussions of particular judicial rulings) aren't really of much interest to an average teenager or a person in general. Which leads to a few different potential effects:

a) Older and more educated people have much less reason to "flex" how smart they are. The also have fewer occurrences of delusions of grandeur/Dunning-Krueger effect.

b) Niche technical topics have a barrier to entry, which already eliminates a gigantic portion of the toxic audience. The topics themselves are also largely uninteresting to an average person.

c) Stricter comment moderation eliminates a lot of potential toxic material, like every other comment devolving into a shitty attempt at a joke or a personal attack.

And for me, personally, the biggest difference seems to be that on HN, there is a way higher prevalence of people trying to figure out what is right, instead of who is right. I am glad to be proven wrong in an argument here, because it gets me one step closer to finding the "most correct" answer. And the arguments themselves (usually) tend to be very polite. While on reddit, it seems like the vast majority (outside of some specialized and fairly niche subreddits) is just obsessed with proving that their answer is the "most correct" one, so they go all out on the means to reach that goal, which tends to any sort of arguments to become very uncivil very fast.
> What I am saying is I think that your last paragraph is a misunderstanding of what the 510(k) and de-novo pathways are, and that they are a safety process, which was and is followed.

I don't think anyone in this chain has tried to claim that the 510(k) is not a safety process nor that it is not followed - merely that avoiding more rigorous testing and review of a new device by tying it to the safety rating of a previous device sounds exactly like what happened with boeing's 737 max, and secondly, that existing regulations incentivize bad outcomes whereby companies make more expensive/dangerous/worse products that get less testing.

> What do you think the substantively equivalent bar for a 510(k) allows a company to do?

Honestly, I have literally no idea, and have been trying to tease that information out of you. Specifically, how does that bar differ from the one that Boeing had to clear with the 737 Max took which took 5 years and a few billion dollars (I don't know how much of that was for compliance, but we can guess its at least 10s of millions).

This is literally the first article I found when I searched google:

Ah, just today I had a caffeine withdrawal induced headache, because I had been drinking tea the last three days. It was so bad I had to pop a Thomapyrin tablet with a Coke. For all non-Germans: it's a fixed combination drug that includes Aspirin (250mg), Paracetamol (200mg) and Caffeine (50mg).
I've heard similar stories at my old job, except with military radios. Needless to say the other end of the line was very unhappy about interference :)

You can still hold other scientists and policy makers to a higher standard.
Your questions are all reasonable. I'm not personally opposed to quantitative decision-making, but I'm also painfully aware of the limitations of quantitative methods, especially when applied under pressure. I would argue that a blind faith in mathematics is just as wrongheaded as the magical thinking you're describing.

To give a clear example of why I'm skeptical, look at the use of quantitative methods to conduct governance in the banking industry. It's not that we shouldn't have used numerical methods, it's just that they ended up being woefully insufficient because of how they were applied. There's no reason we couldn't make the same mistake here in a premature bid for some kind of certainty.
This is my reaction:

"This Japanese Island Lifted Its Coronavirus Lockdown Too Soon and Became a Warning to the World"
https://time.com/5826918/hokkaido-coronavirus-lockdown/

Restrictions could start easing if you could manage an outbreak swiftly. This requires:

1) Enough tests that actually worked so you can SPOT an outbreak before it goes 3 weeks.

2) Enough resources in the medical system to handle an actual spike without collapsing

3) Enough protective equipment that won't disappear in the face of panic buying

This is the MINIMUM. Are we there yet?

Otherwise, you get Hokkaido.
The pandemic isn't going to stop anytime soon. Miracle cures are highly unlikely, and a safe vaccine is probably more than a year away. So I hope that anyone with obesity is taking this opportunity to lose weight at a safe and sustainable rate.
Ah, I was under the impression that namespacing was a part of cgroups in general.
We already missed the boat on options 1 and 2 due to various governmental incompetencies. Did you not notice that a full third of all cases globally have been in America?
If you want to retain a professional creative class then you must implement a system that allows them to benefit from the works they produce.

To rely on people producing things producing things without economic incentive is essentially the argument for anarchosocialism. It might work to some small degree for passion projects, but what the overall volume of creative production would collapse as creatives would have to find other ways to support themselves.
I happily stand corrected on both counts, thanks
Solidarity must enter the equation because if you don't take care of those who are vulnerable, the economy will tank worse than it already has. People dying is expensive, and this many people dying is a lot more expensive than the cost of keeping things officially shut down.
Makes sense for hot water, but with central heating less so. The energy is mostly needed during the months when there is not a lot of sun, over-sizing the solar collector is financially untenable, as is large enough insulated storage to cover months of heating.
Shelter in place is irrelevant here, it had just been instituted and it takes roughly 10 days to go from symptoms to hospitalization.
Imagine being forced to remove this article, the server provider cuts off service, and your domain banned because these kind of articles have violated terms of services.

What I am guessing:

Appliance cost: You can get a $500 normal fridge with 100's of choices or the one $2000 integrated with the home system one that does the same things from a specialist supplier. Then factor in integrated appliances / size of fridge for spot.

Installation cost: In the order of $1000s for parts and labor.

Installation authority: If you are renting, or need building owner permissions (e.g. an apartment) then no chance.

The only people buying this are those "grand designs" type people who are architecting their own house with say $1m build budget and want to be "eco".
Teams on my Mac has this wonderful feature where the notifications render as a completely white rectangle until I mouseover, and then it finally renders the content.
> Scientists who express different views on Covid-19 should be heard

It's interesting to phrase this as "views." I'd prefer to see all relevant data.
That is much easier said than done.

It’s 2020 and we still don’t have a gender equality amendment even though the majority of states want one.

...let alone amendments for healthcare as a right, abortion rights, and proportional representation.
my advice: avoid caffeine altogether, everything decaf, if you insist on consuming those beverages.
But if the link is optional (i.e. no storage), it's unlikely the timing works out often enough to justify the increased complexity or cost. (E.g. if the time overlap of water heating AND fridge cooling is 25% (which seems pretty high to me), you'd only get that percentage of the energy savings.
I didn't mean the parallel to be so literal.

I was more saying that you probably need to wait longer than it seems you should. In part because we're dealing with exponential growth.

> Worse, even if we reduce the case count to an unnoticeably low number, we’ve made essentially no progress toward a suppression strategy that will detect and control new cases to avoid another shutdown.

Another reason to postpone everyone getting infected is that the longer that waits, the better treatments we'll have for the sick.
You do it the same way essential workers do it now, I presume.
I never developed a taste for coffee, and decided early on that there was no reason to try to do so. (I'm in my late 30s now.) I do have the occasional coke, which I'd never noticed any effect from until the past few years. A single can of coke later than early afternoon now will have a noticeable impact on my sleep that night—get sleepy later, and end up sleeping around 0.5-1 hours less than I would otherwise. (With the expected resulting tiredness the next day.) Of course I expect much of that is due to lack of tolerance since I so rarely have caffeine.
Propane, I’d guess. With propane, you are paying someone to truck propane to you and pump it into your tank. You are also paying all the costs of owning and maintaining the tank.

If you live in a place with reliable electricity, I don’t think propane really makes sense any more. You can get heat and hot water from heat pumps, and induction stoves work well and are vastly more efficient than gas.

That's already a thing, they just skip the intermediate steps and run the water through black pipes in a sunny spot.
> Any design that relies on a confirmation dialog is fundamentally broken

I'm having trouble interpreting this in any way other than a claim that granting users control over their devices is a fundamentally broken idea. I won't dispute that users often choose to do dumb things in practice, but it seems the two of us have a fundamental disagreement in our underlying worldviews.

> Even technically competent users ... no matter what you actually write

I'd argue that such users aren't actually technically competent then, despite the high opinion they might have of themselves. On the other hand, perhaps the users are technically competent and it's actually the relevant software developers that have done a poor job of communicating? If an actual technically competent user is experiencing significant difficulties using a program, then perhaps the program doesn't work as well as the developers thought it did.
VictoriaMetrics is great. Totally painless drop in solution for long term Prometheus retention.
> Teams has its issues, but compared to skype its amazing in my opinion. Granted, skype is a pretty low bar to compare with, but still.

Yeah, it's amazing that such an aborted thing ever seen the day of life. Skype looks like a windows program. Team looks like an Android game.

About corporate: Skype can do a 250 people meeting, Teams can do only 100.

It is like in the old M$ joke: How wonderful it's gonna be when they will get it.

> At my last company, Teams was introduced as a tool besides skype - and everyone was encouraged to move meetings etc. whenever possible over to Teams. It worked out pretty well, after a few months skype meetings became the exception, almost everything, especially if only techies were included, was happening on Teams.

In my company people preffer Skype.

> I recommend to give it a serious try, some of it features do suck (notification settings etc. are absolutely horrendous and seem to not properly work half the time) but overall it improved the ways people communicated a lot compared to skype. At least that was my experience :)

It is a piece of crap. The only "feature" above skype is that it has these groups. From an UI point of view is a piece of crap. Who was the idiot that conceived such a crappy interface ? When i start a new chat i want a new chat not to see my last chat with someone else.
Humanity used to be a lot worse, you just didn't have a way of knowing that because ... reddit did not exist. Reddit and social media has generally progressive effects for the same reason that increased communication between diverse people has progressive effects. Yes bad ideas spread but good ideas spread faster

IP laws are anti-competitive and rent-seeking, that's exactly the point. I agree that the amount of time copyrights are good for is ridiculous, but I still think it's better than not having them.

Imagine if J.K.Rowling wrote the first 3 Harry Potter books but didn't see a dime because the second they got popular everyone with a printing press started selling them royalty-free. Would she have finished the series? I got to read all 7 books because J.K.Rowling was incentivized to write them by her copyright.
In older societies, people see a lot more violence/blood toward animals. In old-fashioned societies, when you need a chicken, the butcher grabs a live one, wrestles it's wriggling body, wrings its neck, and skins it in front of you. You grab the meat and it's still warm. Butchers killing larger livestock is likely a show you can see near the market, you may even have participated in some such act yourself because of customs. It would be a common thing and it's so visceral. You smell it. You can see the animal's struggle, fear and pain. After you are habituated to that, a story is not so bad.
Sweetwater has never let me down in 20 years. It’s been quite sometime since I’ve used Crutchfield but I’ve always had a very high opinion of their customer service as well.

Had a very poor experience ordering from Ikea. Just some kitchen towels, nothing particularly interesting. Took six weeks to ship, zero updates on the site about order status, estimated delivery date came and went unceremoniously, wasn’t able to contact anyone via phone. Finally got an email out of the blue that they shipped and arrived intact the next day. Pretty much a ‘never again’ experience.

Amazon’s policies and employee treatment/relationships may need improvement or complete overhaul, but their execution at getting matter into your hands and dealing with issues is, in my experience, second to none.
A lot of us have written Wikipedia.
Hmm, so the reusable bit is the straightforward inject-everything component, driven by an app-specific, app-aware hook-using part?

I can see how that can work for simple cases. Nesting components is going to get tricky though if the classes don't operate exactly the way the hooks expect.

Of course that's the problem: someone built hooks for their trivial cases and now they're the 'preferred' approach...

Edit: To clarify, 'simple' is going to be context-dependent since hook behaviour is. If your 'driving skeleton' of hook-based components is in the direct uninterrupted ancestry chain of every class component, you're probably using hooks in a near-ideal case.

Yeah, people go into withdrawal during the night which leads to bad quality sleep which leads to the desire to drink coffee earlier in the day, since you feel very unwell after you wake up. A downward spiral.
> Think chromium-quality software quality [...]

There's an irony somewhere in there that Chromium is a descendant of KHTML, KDE's rendering engine, which became WebKit and was originally written using Qt. And Google and Apple's contributions were regularly derided for being relatively low quality.

Qt and KDE have always had a lot of cross-contribution, so KDE (its libraries, for example) is a good place to start:

https://github.com/KDE/kdelibs

There's also this old, but still relevant, article on designing Qt-style APIs (which had a big impact on me personally):

yes, crouching makes you smaller/less threatening. puppies/little dogs at the dog park (when that was open) use it as a little fort against the bigger dogs. much fun =)
In hot climates you can also recover heat rejected from your A/C compressor, circulate water into a tank, and get a bunch of hot water for free.
Why do you want this to be a simple problem? It isn't a simple problem, not by a long shot and erring on the side of caution seems to be the right way to play this because you are at most 4 weeks away from a serious disaster if you fuck it up. The fact that SF does ok is a result of the shelter-in-place order, without it SF would look like NYC or worse.
> The US has not been harder but than Italy or Spain, or even Sweden.

You should check the facts. In the past few weeks New York alone reported more covid infections and deaths than Spain's total from the start of their outbreak, and New York has around 25% the population of Spain.

New York also has between 2 to 3 times the number of active covid cases that Spain has, which indicates the death count will only get far worse than what it already is.

> American cities with similar population and density to Stockholm

You may try to cherry pick anything, but the facts are the facts.

Covid-19 AI Literature review front end development
Hi all,

I am leading a group of clinicians and scientists in creating a literature review that is updated in real-time, to answer critical medical and scientific questions.https://www.kaggle.com/covid-19-contributions

Kaggle has been a great home for the start of the project, and the community has provided us the tools we needed to come as far as we have.
It has been a lot of fun having our medical team interact with the tech community to create this project.

We are looking to move this lit-review off of Kaggle (where we are manually updating an excel sheet to push to the site)and onto another site (GitHub, a new domain, etc?). We are looking for some front end developers to help us make the page more easily updatable as well as user friendly and navigatable for clinicians and scientists.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Please let me know if you have any questions
Should we had taken more seriously the Stanford University Faculty when they were suggesting back in March in WSJ [1] 0.01% mortality rates while the ERs were full and we could not source masks and ventilators?

The mortality rate in NY has been found by random testing more than 0.5%, or more than 50 times higher from what the Stanford Snake Oil Salesmen were predicting by looking at NBA (yes really) mortality rates.

In cold countries a typical new installation will have an air-to-water or ground-to-water heat-pump for heating with an integrated hot water tank (actually more like a warm water tank for efficiency reasons). Hot water is a considerable fraction of energy cost in a well insulated home and reducing it many-fold by the typical COP of a heat pump makes a lot of sense.
Perhaps there is still deployed equipment with the exact vulnerabilities described? Any idea what flooding refers to?
A radio station in the 1MHz range is transmitting in the 10s of kW range. The energy of a single photon is tremendously small. So if you divide out the large transmitting power by the energy of a single photon, you'll see that an unimaginable number of photons is being released, giving the impression of a continuous process.

More detail:

Say you have an AM station that transmits at frequency f = 650kHz and uses power P = 50kW.

The equation for a photon's energy is E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency. Here h = 6.6310^(-34) Js and f = 6.510^5 Hz. Thus the photon's energy is E = 4.3110^(-28) J. This is very tiny number.

The number of photons per second is n = P/E = 1.1610^32.

Let's try to visualize this. Avogadro's number is 6.022*10^23 for each mol of something, so if we divide it out from n, we see that there are almost 200 million mol of photons being released every second!

Water is 18g/mol, which takes up about 16 cm^3. 200 million moles of water is about a million gallons. If a photon was like a water molecule, a "water AM station" would be releasing about a million gallons of water per second.
