One factor people often forget in the fatality equation is the attack rate, or how many people can be potentially be infected. For the flu, it is around 10% to 15% yearly. For C19, it could be >80% given that there is no natural immunity nor vaccines. Taken that into account, C19 could be at least 40x deadlier than the flul (Flu: 0.1% CFR 10% AR, C19: 1% CFR 40% AR). The 0.1% CFR for the flu is taken from the estimates of the 1957 and 1968 pandemics, which left 100K fatalities in the US. Estimates for the seasonal flu are lower than 0.1%.
Even that's not true. 15-30% of the viruses that are attributed to the common cold are coronaviruses, and it's pretty clear that the common cold does not behave in the way OP described.

That definitely won't happen this year, perhaps ever.

Trump said today that states are responsible for procurement and development of virus tests, labs and processing material. Each state, on their own. If he's afraid of that responsibility, Boeing is going to be something he's never heard of.

I blame NAT.

Treating end-users like second-class netizen consumers trained people to "need" the cloud to do perfectly normal peer-to-peer things.
I never said that this is "just the flu". I put some thought into my comment, and it's provoked some discussion.

Let me provoke some more: I predict that, by the end of this year, the number of total deaths in people over 85 will be about the same as last year.

I'm using the fact that most deaths from this virus occur in people who are already ill from other conditions. Frail old people are much more vulnerable to succumbing to infections.

Last year, about 13.5% of people over age 85 in the USA died [1]. That high death rate means that, at some point in the year, 13.5% of those people fell very ill, and had only months to live. This year, without the pandemic, a similar proportion of people would be close to death. If they caught the virus that causes covid-19, their death would be hastened. However, they would have died anyway, this year.

I know it's callous to say "they would have died anyway," since death is a terrible thing. However, humans have a limited lifespan, for some mysterious reason, and at some point our bodies start to betray us: we develop heart disease or cancer, and our immune systems become less effective. It's as if our bodies are lowering their defenses, almost inviting death. Often, along comes a flu, to finish the job. This year's angel of death is a different respiratory virus, not influenza.

I honestly don't see the use of this. Why would anyone want to expose a development environment to the internet, especially in the age of devops and reproducible environments. 98% of all my development happens over 127.0.0.1 now. I have zero need to expose a service when I can replicate multi sites on a lan with the lightweight environment given to me with containers and vms.
I can relate to your experience growing up homeschooled and dealing with social struggles as an adult. I don’t think homeschooling automatically leads to these issues, but I agree that there’s a risk and parents need to be mindful of the impact of their decisions.

I agree with everything you’re saying about social experiences. I think making sure kids have plenty of opportunities to interact with people outside of their immediate circle is super important. It’s just as doable with homeschooling as with traditional schooling but it requires more intentionality because it might not happen naturally in the same way.

On the other hand, I can understand the frustration that homeschooling parents feel when other people assume that homeschooling will cause their kids to grow up weird.

I’m also annoyed when a discussion about the pros and cons of choosing to homeschool one’s kids leads to people citing cases of child abuse (further down the thread; I’m not talking about any of your comments).

The fact that some parents homeschool as a cover for abuse isn’t relevant to my decision on whether or not homeschooling is a good path for my kids.

I plan to homeschool my kids. My parents did a decent job with me, but I can do much better with my kids (in part because of my experience with my parents’ choices).
With roads empty, I guess the temptation to wind 'er up is strong!

The article says "...fatality rates increased even as total crash deaths declined."

That is confusing to parse. I guess that there are fewer crashes, but a higher percentage are fatal, but even with a higher percentage of crashes being fatal, overall crash deaths declined.
The mentioned blog post is mislinked in the article but it's been on HN before with a bit of discussion. It has some video and a better overview.

Same experience here. Every website I tried so far died when sending large files because it apparently loaded the whole thing into ram and then some. That might be fine on a system with 32gb memory, but my laptop with 8gb dies when trying to send a 7gb file.
Isn't that exactly what we're seeing now? The government has basically been in gridlock since 2010, and voters have increasingly rewarded extreme policians who seek to shift the overton window over compromise politicians who work across party lines to find a middle ground.

The book American Carnage is a fantastic deep dive on this (and extremely fair and even-handed, despite the bombastic title).

It's not taxing the company doing the extraction, its taxing the company that owns the mineral rights (the land.) Those may likely be the same thing, but the extraction and refinement itself is still profitable.

It would be akin to the government pulling eminent domain, and saying "the oil under the country belongs to the people, not who owns the deed."

This is basically what Alaska did. They said "if you plunder our natural resources, the profit gets shared with the people whos natural resources you are plundering."

I thought I heard the airfield controller say there were 400+ and that they expected 50+ from Southwest soon.

My first thought was about the concentrated value and something like an earthquake or a plane crash. My second thought was "how long would it take to replace one of these planes?" but I guess an airline could replace it within hours due to the Boeing delivery backlog, but likely won't need to because of the lack of demand for travel right now.

Not a trillion, but still expensive.
I think it's worth pointing out the conclusion in their abstract and what the authors are trying to accomplish: "...we suggest that prospective, randomized controlled studies of VDI in COVID-19 patients are warranted."

> Have you tried making them small? Rust doesn't optimize programs for size by default, there's a lot of easy ways to shrink binaries (like stripping symbols).

Yeah, I have. I'd come across the guide you linked, any frequently use the subset of those techniques that are available on stable Rust. And I've ended up with simple CLI apps in the 2 to 4 MiB range – which is _fine_ for my use-case, but a bit closer to the size of a Go binary than a C one. (Though, like I said, it's fine for my use case and, if it were important to me, I'm sure I could trim that a bit by picking different dependencies or even dropping to `no_std` in some cases)
Pay-per-Law, Inc.: The Glory and Agony of Georgia vs. Public Resource
After I learned German for a few years, I lived in a region of Germany where many people spoke in a dialect. At the time I thought I had a pretty good handle on what was dialect and what wasn't. A good amount of dialect made it into my speech anyway, since that's how the locals spoke.

Later I discovered to my surprise that a few of the words I had placed in the "standard German" category were actually from the regional dialect.

I actually think it was more helpful to my language abilities to have learned two different German dialects (one of which was standard German). It also helped me to understand how languages change and what it must have been like several centuries ago when there wasn't a standardized German and people had to struggle to understand someone from far away area that in theory spoke the same language.

From what I understand, they are the same thing. And many CEOs are apparently sociopaths.

And I think Musk is clearly one of the better ones. Admittedly crazy and dangerous when he starts picking stupid internet fights, but when he focuses on building his companies, he seems to work miracles, and he does seem to care about people and the planet, which is more than I can say from many others. There are plenty of psychopathic CEOs that suck at their job (like the one currently in the White House).
The Corona crisis really helped with my Ennui problem.
What is wrong with Elon Musk?
That's the opposite, dumb people believing their smart at everything, OP said smart people.
I'm not the best in expressing this, but I believe to think like Elon Musk (except I'm lazy and not that bright), I think there are quite a few that think like Elon. Yes, I know how it sounds, but if you're obsessed about truth there's a chance you think like him as well.

IMO Elon Musk is rational and also expressive. He thinks from first principles (aka how does the world really work?) and he communicates that way.

Most people can't handle that. They can't handle when someone is expressive (aka the Tesla @ 420 tweet, he simply expresses his opinion) or reasoning from first principles (weed is legal right? Yea, might smoke it, might not, does it matter? New experience is new data, hmm, doesn't seem too interesting).

They think he's insane. He isn't. He does live a bit in a bubble where he sometimes forgets that other people are judgmental, mostly in a conservative sense (compared to how he thinks). But those judgmental people don't see one thing: the guy is hunting for truth, finding it and he applies it to its product.

Nothing beats truth* (the fact that we're using computers now and not an abacus is evidence of that)

* All the standard considerations of science apply (falsification, learning from your mistakes and so on).
It is a euphemism.
If you are working on someone and want to show a friend, or if you want to open a project on another device that isn’t necessarily on the same network. And you don’t have to pay for a droplet or setup a PaaS if you’re in the middle of the nitty gritty of development.
I felt that way and sold most of my stock after one of his previous tirades. I also thought that whole truck debacle would hurt them a lot more than it did. I've since learned.... don't bet against Musk
Not really. They happen when whoever holds power gets weak and there is discontent simultaneously. As long as you are strong, the gap can be arbitrary large.
Lots of these people (and a lot of the trumpy, NRA class at large) are bourgeoise, fwiw

Well, for one thing, in that subset there are still people getting a raw deal.

For another thing, it's a generally bad thing when people start formulating their political equations or thoughts of who's worthy to be listened to based on group stereotypes. "People like that," is just another form of, "those people," or "them."

I've been on the receiving end of stuff like that all my life, as being one of a few classes of minorities, some of it from people who might be characterized as "the trumpy, NRA class at large."

Ultimately, we're all individuals, and we're all human beings. Beware of people who rail against a group, then have you identify them by outward signs. Be especially wary, when those people start claiming to know the presence of bad thoughts in others, such that they "don't deserve" this or that. Be especially wary when the "don't deserve" starts extending to basic human rights.

In 2020, be triply wary if you are, in effect, being asked to think badly of and ignore the human rights of one particular group -- in the name of justice and human rights.
What's weird to me about this is I remember sysadmins always using this incident as a case for tape backups, saying it was restored from tape. I saw a post about it a few days ago on reddit and kinda had a minuscule mental breakdown, now here it is again...
Sure, airlines was just an example to drive home the more fundamental point.

There are a bajillion different variables that go into how we price corporations / assets in a decentralized way. This includes basic stuff like revenue, margins, balance sheets, growth, but can also include macro risk, which political party is in power, the current weather, etc. Apple isn't worth $1T because some schmuck decided it was worth that much, it's worth that much because we all play some part in the price discovery. When you remove some of the variables from this equation, the price becomes less reliable (mis-priced assets).

You might argue that it doesn't matter for most assets like airlines, and you'd probably be right about that, but there are certain types of assets like junk bonds where this has more negative consequences in the long run. We've been mis-pricing junk bonds to the degree that, at a macro level, there is way more capital being allocated to bad companies with poor fundamentals than there should be. We want more Amazons, Stripes, and Shopify's, and fewer WeWorks and SoftBanks.

States are similar, you have some States that are incredibly well run (Massachusetts, Washington) and some that are very poorly run (eg Illinois). We need some mechanism to nudge poorly run states in the right direction, and encourage well run States to keep doing what they're doing, and more.

>It seems like they're rolling all their platforms (Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, FB Main) into that one metric? HN's position has generally been that FB Main is on the decline and I'm not sure this metric is enough to contradict that.

Those numbers are for FB Main. The number of active users across all platforms is 3 Billion.

From the linked report: "Family monthly active people (MAP) – MAP was 2.99 billion as of March 31, 2020, an increase of 11% year-over-year."
this doesnt pass the correlation vs causation smell test for me.

i suspect VID correlates well with COVID comorbidities, like a sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, and weight problems. the opposite is also probably true, that people with good vit D levels correlate with healthier lifestyles and fewer comorbidities.
Oil prices don't help the EV argument. However the main issue is that they have to deal with their products being priced high compared to the rest of the industry at a time when wages are likely to fall.

You'd have to get follow up to see if Vitamin D has gone up after taking it.

I was Wrong on the internet (lots of food has vitamin D including Eggs and Mushrooms): Vitamin D supplements may not be absorbed as digestion isn't the normal process for obtaining it.
It would be much harder to "look down" on the protestors if their protests were backed by sanity. For every sign saying "I need to work to feed my family," you see 20 saying:

* Coronavirus is a hoax!

* Fake nurses!

* 5G cellphones cause coronavirus!

* Impeach Bill Gates!

* Vaccines are poison!

* Social Distancing is Communism!

* Freedom!!

There are reasonable arguments against the temporary shutdown, but the protesters are not part of that reasonable conversation.
It varies by setup. Just do a few Google Image Searches for funnel event tracking or read some tutorials on setting up Google Analytics conversion tracking events and you'll get a sense of the categories, actions, values, and labels people often use.
Even in surreal numbers, where there indeed exists numbers "infinitely close" to 1 but smaller than it, 0.9999.. would still be exactly 1. That's a quirk/feature of the decimal representation, not the underlying theory of numbers.

In surreal numbers there's a number called ε a number infinitely close to 0 (but larger than it), so what you would think that 0.9999.. represent is actually written 1-ε maybe?

But there's another number ε/2 that is between 0 and ε; 1-ε/2 is even closer to 1 than 1-ε is. Indeed, there are infinite numbers infinitely close to 1! (and none is really represented by 0.999...)
I read Michael Holick's book (can't find it at the moment) he was the guy who discovered the circulating form of vitamin D.. IIRC you get vitamin D from the sun in rather large quantities. Just 15 minutes per day with only your face and hands exposed with the sun up at 45 degrees or more will be enough. I'm sure my data is not accurate, but it's in the ballpark. He has tables that depend on how dark your skin is and what latitude you live at.
I think it's also how genius works. When you're really good at one thing, there's the risk of thinking you're good at everything.

Why do you think it's a weird subject of study, but games like Chess, Go, and Starcraft are not considered weird? Aren't both studied for purely their benchmark potential as opposed to the problem itself? Why are games widely accepted, but trading is "weird"?
> he [totally meant some other thing] and was just using language loosely when he said "bankrupt".

If that's so then he's had plenty of opportunity to make that known. Based on the media frenzy around this, it's quite clear that he meant and continues to mean a literal, actual, non-sarcastic bankruptcy.
Their wealth is not a pile of cash or a number in a bank account, it's ownership of the companies they founded. Every year, they would be forced to hand 5% of their shares over to the federal government. If such a tax were implemented 15 years ago, all Fortune 500 companies today would be controlled by congress and Donald Trump. Also both SpaceX and Tesla would have almost certainly gone bankrupt in late 2008 as Musk would not have had the wealth to support both of them.
If you get the test make sure it is the right one! 25 (OH) stays in the blood longer, so this is the more accurate test. (half life of 3 weeks in your blood). Many experts recommend a level of at least 30 ng/ml ... some actually suggest that 50 ng/ml!

The scale on the test results is:
Interpretive Data:
Deficiency: <10 ng/mL
Insufficiency: 10 to 30 ng/mL
Sufficiency: 30 to 100 ng/mL
Toxicity: >100 ng/mL

"The majority of 25-OH vitamin D (25-D) in the circulation is derived from the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin that is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation in the UVB range (wavelength 290 nm to 315 nm).1-5 The extent of vitamin D formation is not tightly controlled and depends primarily on the duration and intensity of the UV irradiation. Levels produced typically reach a plateau within 30 minutes of exposure." [1]

"Vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent among African Americans (blacks) than other Americans and, in North America, most young, healthy blacks do not achieve optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations at any time of year." [2]

Well yes, Vitamin D is pretty hard to come around in the northern hemisphere so no surprise there. Mind you, it's far not the only thing - magnesium, zinc, selenium are just a few which most people are missing. I mean unless your diet consists entirely of tuna and salmon probably. Over the last few years, I've stressed significantly on my physical health(after being very overweight for the most of my adult life and now happy to say this is not the case anymore at all). And while Vitamin D has been one of the things I've become very strict about, my supplements menu has significantly expanded. And there are plenty of products which come bundled with your daily intake of vitamins and minerals. And one in particular has become a part of my breakfast at this point. I haven't had as much as a sneeze in the last two years, haven't felt even mild fatigue or exhaustion, even after the toughest of days. But as you said, it's best to consult a doctor first, especially if you have bad medical history. If you are healthy and fit though then there are plenty of good options to go with.

My father was a professor of business finance for a few years. He wrote on the board the first lecture that if any of the following words were misspelled, it was an automatic F:

1. business

2. entrepreneur

3. your, you're

4. its, it's

5. they're, their, there

Also, for the term paper due at the end of the semester, for every day the paper was late, one grade would be subtracted. I.e. 2 days late meant a B would become a D. No excuses would be accepted, as they had the entire term to get it done.

The first time he taught this course, half the students were a day or more late. He followed through. The next year, word apparently got out as he only received one late paper.

His point was that in business, excuses were not acceptable.
If you build successful businesses in America it definitely sways your political beliefs and outlook.
