Flu hits rural areas hardest, but hits them later than it hits cities. I wouldn’t make quick assumptions this early on.

This may be different, as people don’t take flu as seriously. But America is already loosening up. You also can’t see stuff as clearly in rural areas. The big risks are indoor gatherings at private homes, church, work, and school.

If you aren’t doing those things, you won’t see them happening. Whereas it’s easy to see people walking on an urban street as you drive by, or to watch the news going to a central urban location.

You see this with crime rates. People assume it’s a big city issue due to visibility, but crime rates tend to be higher in rural areas.

Coronavirus may well require urban density, but don’t be too quick to assume it as an axiom.

What is this based on? Most urban centers were the first places to shut down and first to require masks. From my family in Iowa, they seem to be taking far less precautions than what I’ve seen in Chicago. Iowa never even had a stay-at-home order.

In places that have opened back up, it isn’t being driven by the urban areas. Georgia and Florida aren’t opened because Atlanta and Miami forced the Governor’s hand. Do you think most of these protesters we’ve seen are from cities or outside?

Here in Sweden we don't see it as making things harder for employers, but making them act in fairness.

Swedish worker unions sees the success of the business as success of the employees and will help get there for example by fair to both sides collective agreements.

This means for example that unreasonable demands from employees will be blocked, and if the employer needs to cut down employees cannot refuse.

Actually, the point of this article is that it is something new... for the last few decades the medical establishment and of course the sun-screen industry have been absurdly dogmatic and absolutists, telling people to avoid all sun, and anyone who dared to say that it was OK or even desirable to get a bit of sun was vilified (in one case lost his position as department chair of dermatology at Boston U).

I think this article is spot on. And like you say it doesn't say to avoid sunscreen altogether... it says: "Each person’s needs vary so much with season, latitude, skin color, personal history, philosophy, and so much else that it’s impossible to provide a one-size-fits-all recommendation."

It is not a graph of growth rate. It is a graph of death rate, and it shows the death rate on a day-to-day basis is pretty much constant for a while. If we have pretty much the same deaths per 100000 from one day to the next, where is the growth?

(edit: confusion)
Well I take “growth” to be a “rate” (the velocity). So a “growth rate” would be acceleration.

That death curve is now flat for the last two samples, implying the rate is zero. The graph should be labeled deaths/million/day, which means the acceleration is zero and the velocity is constant.

Sorry, just drives me bonkers when the media tosses about words such as “the economy grew at a rate of ....”. I suppose English is more confusing with “Billy grew 10 cm” (implied over a year), compared with “Billy is growing 10 cm/year”.

Ask HN: Is your company sticking to on-premise servers? Why?
I've been managing servers for quite some time now. At home, on prem, in the cloud...

The more I learn, the more I believe cloud is the only competitive solution today, even for sensitive industries like banking or medical.

I honestly fail to see any good reason not to use the cloud anymore, at least for business. Cost-wise, security-wise, whatever-wise.

What's a good reason to stick to on-prem today for new projects? To be clear, this is not some troll question. I'm curious: am I missing something?
JQuery 3.5.1 Released: Fixing a Regression
I'm relatively a power user and can mostly work my way through most any software and regularly help people with software I've never used before, but I just can't wrap my head around Gimp for some reason, everything seems way too complicated. When I Google the solution to something I can do in 3 minutes in Paint.NET, it often turns out to require lots of unintuitive steps, I hit edge cases, look up bug reports and feature requests and then just decide to use Pinta instead. And other people seem to work fine with it, so it must be that people are just wired differntly or something.

Simple Homemade TEA Laser (2007)
This is such an important discussion. There are clear pros and cons to enforcing speed limits on science. How do we decide what those limits should be and how we enforce them?

In principle, I'm a believer that the cure for misinformation is more information. If people don't realize that, prepublication study websites are exactly that, you fix it by telling them. Not by omitting reporting on them completely.

What's missing is the assessment of probability. What does the scientific process look like, where in it is this piece of information, and based on that, how likely is it to be accurate and impactful?

We cover sports in a way that allows educated and casual observers to enjoy them and learn extreme amount of nuance. How do we apply the same lessons here?

I doubt that a inode reuse can make this happen, since the inode will not be reused while bash keeps the file open.
>Flattening total or active case numbers is what flattening the curve usually means.

When I clicked on it, the very first thing at the top was a graph showing "the number of newly reported cases each day". Since cases cycle out of the total too as the disease runs its course one way or another, if the number of new cases per day becomes flat and/or begins declining then so too will the total number of active cases (after a lag) right?

Specific hospitals being overwhelmed or not is a different question. If we want to know how stressed the healthcare system is look at hospitalization rates, other proxy’s are pointless when you have hard data.

Deaths don’t track 1:1 with hospitalizations because some people die much sooner. The most at risk tend to die within 2 weeks, while others are still extremely sick and can die 6+ weeks after infection. Those people have lower rates of death per day, but may still require ventilators. Thus, a steady rate of new infections can look like a very slow decrease in deaths even as the heath system is getting more stressed.

This is a false and a simple google search would have proved it (as another poster did). It sounds like you have a predetermined bias. Maybe take your own advice on some of the suggestions you have for other people?

Mentioning how the economy provides healthcare and food kind of undermines your point as those things were never shut down.
And you've been downvoted in the last 10 minutes since I first went to this discussion.

You'll find plenty of discussion of economic issues on right of center forums, with the same sort of downvoting for concerns about opening up resulting in too many cases for healthcare systems to handle. Ditto that it may be wise to limit the total number of people who get it prior to our finding out if we can develop a vaccine for it.

Very good point. There is now.
My science background leads me to look at the situation as the NY Times does. I find this article compelling in motivating me to support sticking with protocols from science experts on social distancing, etc.

Last week I appeared on a very pro-Trump podcast. The starting point for the very pro-Trump person was freedom and the economy. Numbers like in this article seemed irrelevant to him, or even signs of people trying to seize more power.

If we want to lower the spread of this pandemic, our biggest challenge is influencing people's behavior. If telling people more numbers doesn't influence people how we intend, they may be verifiable and right, but if we want to save lives, including our own, we have to figure out what works.

Elsewhere in this thread somebody wrote

> Another story with tunnel vision.

> I don't pay attention to the NY Times, but have they had any opinion pieces suggesting that maybe the destruction of the economy is also a bad thing? And, maybe, someone besides a reporter or "health expert" should make some kind of attempt to determine if it is even possible to sustain these policies?

> I really feel like I'm in a Tales from Dark Side episode.

Currently the comment is downvoted to near invisibility.

But that perspective is motivating tens of millions of people. If we want to motivate them, we have to figure out how to respond. Spewing facts, however right, if it motivates people to stop listening, or downvoting instead of addressing is a matter of life and death.

How do we respond effectively to people with such views?
People are saying they used a hand-rolled crypto stack rather than something standard like TLS? That should have been a massive red flag.

These seem to be general discussions about the state of the economy. They still are not making an attempt to forecast how long the economy can minimally support civilization without reopening. I don't see a "what is worse" analysis.

I also don't see any mention of the myriad studies published demonstrating how mortality rates increase in many different ways during periods of economic decline.

I agree with this list being of questionable value, at least to myself. I must add though that I have learned that it is important to not fill in what people's intentions are. I have not mastered this skill though and perhaps it remains a life-long battle against the impulses.

The author says:

" I have chosen six that can tell us something about a “new” Vincent, the real man behind the often-exploited scenes of his life. This Vincent is a far-cry from the impulsive artist he has frequently been depicted as."

So if we take this at face value, which I have no reason not to as I am unfamiliar with the website and author, the intention does not seem to simply provide a list of the author's favourites.
They certainly share a common aesthetic. Same universe? No.

> The obvious answer would be: why don't use Java/Spring then? Does C++ have to be everything to everybody (though that ship has probably sailed some 30 years ago)?

I really prefer writing C++ code where :

- I have the choice of the programming style for every subproblem of my software than Java code where most of the time the only choice is new-riddled, OOPish BS. Writing a Java visitor or observer pattern once again makes me shiver from dread when I'm used to std::variant and Qt's signal / slots. I'll admit that Scala mostly solves that though, if I really had to develop on the JVM that's likely the only language that I'd happily use. No type-level programming -> not relevant for me, given how many metric tons of bugs this has saved me so far.

And integrating JVM code with C++ (or any kind of native) code is an exercice in pain - I've had the displeasure to wrap one of the libraries I've developed through JNA to make it accessible to Processing, wouldn't wish that on my enemies.

- Things can be made to happen deterministically and automatically with RAII, I still have nightmares of trying to get finalizers to work in C# for instance to release resources other than memory at deterministic times and not "some time away in the future".

This is just my own experience but I think its just the usual political extreme sides arguing with each other.

On the tea party side we have these crazy gun toting nuts (I own guns myself) that are yelling freedom and other crazy things regarding the lockdown. Storming government buildings with open carry and at least to me look like fools

Then on the flip side in the Bay Area we have a bunch of tech workers, working from home and being comfy yelling that we cannot open up businesses and everyone is going to die that goes out. I look at my own company internal chat and its basically this.

Unfortunately both sides and a lack of overall national leadership has detracted from the real discussion. Our news agencies on both sides are playing the extremes and nobody is talking about the real issue.

Shelter-in-place does work but its only there to reduce the impact on hospitals. Its not there to prevent people from getting sick necessarily. We don't know how long this virus is going to be around. Maybe it disappears, maybe its here for a year. The whole point of sheltering is so hospitals can continue to work without being overburdened. I think in the Bay Area the hospitals have been extremely under-utilized.

What we need are discussions on how to reopen safely. What type of rules do people need to follow when we do reopen. I don't want to argue what is legally allowed but I think things like wearing masks in public, public temperature checks, more testing and forcing quarantine of those and those that have been around them are all sensible if we want to get the economy going again.
