> Overall, public-health authorities do not believe that people pulling down their mask in the open air to eat or talk on their phone, will significantly change the infection curve for the worst.

No. "Public health authorities" are all really clear: if you're going to wear PPE you need to do it properly. DIY cloth masks are not PPE, they're theatre, so it doesn't really matter whether you wear it or not.

> With regard to hand-washing, touching things is now seen as so relatively unlikely a form of transmission

This is untrue. Some people on HN are fixated on droplets and aerosols, but we know that fomites are a significant risk.

> The primary mode of transmission appears to be through direct or indirect contact of mucous membrane (eyes, nose, or mouth) with infectious respiratory droplets or fomites.3,26,27 The use of aerosol-generating procedures (such as endotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy, and treatment with aerosolized medication) in hospitals may amplify the transmission of SARS-CoV, and outbreaks have involved more than 100 patients on occasion.3,26-28 SARS-CoV survives for many days when dried on surfaces and in feces at an alkaline pH.33 Although data from direct comparisons are not yet available, a review of previously published data suggests that SARS-CoV may be far more stable than other human respiratory viruses, such as respiratory syncytial virus. The role of fecal–oral transmission is unknown but may be important, given that profuse watery diarrhea is a common feature of the disease and that SARS-CoV is shed in large quantities in stool.

If it’s true, it’s not misinformation.

The articles I’ve seen talking about this usually explain that other severe illnesses can cause such symptoms.

The unusual thing about the coronavirus is that it causes severe illness in so many - resulting in not only an extraordinary number of deaths but also of other damage to the body.
I would really like something as simple as windows notepad which syncs to my devices, where the app is equally simple. A no frills fulltext search feature would be nice too.

I currently use Google Keep, which is incredibly slow
Usenet was also already successful in the 80s.
Can you make WASM apps using js toolkits that compiles to native desktop yet? Seems like that will be a huge step forward from electron apps.
Don’t forget the President conservatives love was more than willing to pass gun control laws as governor when Black people were peacefully taking advantage of them.

> Reading your comment the best interpretation I come up with is that "Trump advises drinking bleach" is not an accurate representation of Trump's statements

Correct.

If you watch the clip he is clearly asking someone else about the feasibility of such a thing. That may be a dumb question, but as was beaten into all of us in school, "There are no dumb questions". Maybe a press conference wasn't the right place to bring it up, but that's what Trump does.

Mainly though, the characterization of the "other side" as mentally incapable or otherwise sub-human is standard political practice. It's a lot easier to hate and disregard someone if they don't have any redeeming qualities.

It's a sentiment that is clearly meant to manipulate the feelings of the general public. It's a tactic used by both size, basically always.

But also, people should be careful about regarding their enemies, political or otherwise, as inherently inferior. That's a dangerous way to regard someone because they can more easily catch you off guard or act while you aren't watching.
Typically people are asked to avoid acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus), raw onions, chocolate, caffeine, sodas, peppermint and high fat foods.
I chuckled when I noticed that the "adult" section was one of the only purple links on the page.
There are already more people who want to be journalists than there is work. I imagine it's the same situation with funding for public health research. I'd imagine that's the main limiting factor.
Good to know, it's a awesome feature I am surprised I don't see more successful shows made with this on reddit and youtube
I don't think anybody is saying just giving out tech will break the cycle for everyone. But giving out tech can make it easier for many to break the cycle or at least move into a marginally better situation than their parents.
I donno. I use IntelliJ and when I pair-program with someone who knows how to use its features vs someone who treats it like a basic text-editor/compiler, is night and day difference.

If I am 'riding shotgun' and say stuff like "look up that definition" or "find all the implementations of that method" or "go to ABC" and they just look at me like a deer in the headlights, or start clicking through the file tree, or do "find text in project", then they are going WAY slower than they could be going.

So if "obsessively optimized" includes learning your tools, then it returns rewards.
One could probably go for something like the product of the number of gates involved and the clock frequency to quantify the efficiency of an implementation. Then you can either have a very simple processor with only a few gates but running at a high clock frequency to get all the computations done or you can have a very large parallel implementation with many gates but requiring only a lower clock frequency.

One must obviously only count the actually used gates, for example if floating point units in a processor are not used, and account for idle time if a frame is completed faster than the frame time. Also counting gates might be somewhat tricky, for example in a FPGA where multiplexers and memory are used to build look-up tables to then implement gates, so one could either count the actual gates in the FPGA because those are the gates that are actually used but one could also want to count the gates in the design as if the design was implemented in an ASIC. On the other hand the difference is probably just a small constant factor and it might not really matter that much.

In the end power consumption should capture this pretty well as it scales with the number of actually switching transistors and clock frequency. One would still have to account for the differences in technology and especially supply voltage which goes quadratically into the power consumption.
Which is absurd.
Lite has a slightly smaller binary, however; but as someone whose regular text editor on Windows is notepad (the stock one, which is <100KB), I still find the fact that a text editor's binary is >1MB rather disappointing.

I do realise that both Lite and Notepad3 are significantly more featureful, but I'm not sure if the increase in resource consumption is proportional.

(For comparison, regular notepad uses <1MB of memory when holding nothing, and I don't have a 27.5MB text file to test with, but a 6.5MB one takes 17MB when loaded. In other words, the expansion factor is close to Notepad3.)
Servers still exist. Its only servers that were raising money (even to just cover the costs), that were threatened with lawsuit.
If you look at the source its not Lua its, pretty much small amounts of C to embed Lua, the renderer is a SDL renderer in C. Its a pretty decent architecture I have been toying with a similar idea past few days with C + chez scheme + SDL.
It's not about them, it's about the viewers of the content. They don't need to be protected and can decide for themselves.
Pay enough ‘taxes’ and make enough jobs, maybe that will change. Taxes are in quotes because I’m sure there will ene some tax break incentives.
Wrong. Demand for hand sanitizer increased because people thought the world was ending and hand sanitizer would save their lives. Hand sanitizer went from a tool that marginally increased your health to a tool that many believed would save their lives. If you can't call this a genuine rise in demand, I'm not sure what you could call a rise in demand. I haven't seen any real data that the effect of middlemen was anything but tertiary. Hospitals and governments buying up truckloads of hand sanitizer had a greater effect on the market than middlemen.
I haven't tried the commercial packages, but Meshroom is really impressive.

With enough drone pics of a building, it's pretty much:

- launch meshroom

- throw pics in there

- press the "run" button

- come back 3/4 hours later

- load hi-rez fully textured model into blender

- bit of cleanup

- render

In particular, in the last step, you can do orthographic renderings that look like architect plans.

I highly recommend Meshroom. In particular, unlike many photogrammetry software I used before, my experience has been that there is almost no tweaking required.

The only minor gripe: the models come out a bit "heavy" by default (in some places, too much geometry).
Along these lines, not drinking excessively with meals can help, since you're not dilluting your stomach acid.
I'm not an American but by the look of it the restrictions in California are insane when you look at their case numbers. I'm comparing it with European countries where I live but California can't close their borders either to control the flow of infected from other places.
I truly pity the developer that has to create software (a) on customer machines and (b) without VCS and pulling repositories.
That's simply false. If we force people to stay home without providing them with compensation, then yes, people will go hungry and homeless. We have enough wealth to provide for people to make sure that doesn't happen, though. Whether the government will step up is an open question, but this doesn't have to go the way you are suggesting.
Btw, super shameless plug: If you're looking for 3D capture where photogrammetry doesn't work well (indoors, complex environments) you may find Dot3D (https://www.dotproduct3d.com/dot3dpro.html) quite helpful. It uses depth sensors and works on any recent Android or Windows device. You can get a 14 day free trial and we're happy to extend if needed.
This is the first time I've heard of it being a fallacy, but if someone says they want cookies, but spends money on cake, if I have a factory that can make either cookies or cake, and it operates under capitalism, it seems self-evident that I should make cake.
Good! This will reduce waste and allow firms to manufacture more at a greater marginal production cost.
Elon believes that only problem humanity is facing is how to establish colonies on Mars. He also believes that no one else is going to fund it, so had to acquire tons of money to do it.

I think it’s BS, but those are pretty much his believes.
Ok here is a random stat, by definition itself 10% of people will be in bottom 10 percentile of the health risk profile and at huge risk.

I am not countering you but the parent. Old age itself is a pre-existing condition and then we develop more for each day we live (obesity, heart attacks, diabetes). I know the numbers of true risk may be different but can we manage 5-15% of people falling extremely sick?

They can ask you to leave and then hit you with trespassing if you refuse to go, but they can't just slap you in cuffs and throw you in a concrete room in the back of the casino because you're counting cards. Any money they saved on your gambling would be lost in the kidnapping lawsuit afterward. And if they refuse to cash the chips you can add fraud and theft to the charges.
No, because they obviously didn't and quit.
We have tools to address poverty and domestic violence if we have the political will to do so. We have damned few to address a global pandemic.

That’s why I’d rather see us be cautious about re-opening, but we seem to have decided that rather than find a different way forward to protect everyone, we’re going to just go back to the old economy and hope the sky doesn’t come crashing down on us.
I agree with the GP. Biology is chemistry, and the hydrogen electron shell is what's important in chemistry, not the nucleus. If the proton didn't act as a hydrogen nucleus, we wouldn't use the term PPI at all.

Heavy water being (slightly) toxic doesn't have any bearing on the larger point.
The time and resources users waste on using such application eclipses the difference in development. One could be folding enzymes instead of waiting for syntax highlighting to finish rendering in vs code.
Just buy a cheap cuda-capable NVidia GPU. For Meshroom, you don't need the latest and greatest, a two generation old GPU will do the trick and can be had for peanuts on ebay.
Why else do you think we've managed to keep it in control despite having some dense city centers?

That's because the animation is very much the least important part of a successful show. It's the writing and voice acting. South Park is a great example of this. It's successful because it is funny and edgy. The animation could have gone a lot of different ways and had similar success I think.
IMO, that’s a false choice.

Economic distress could be solved by improvements to the rescue package (The USA is currently able to borrow money at about 1% interest rate over 20-year terms, which is a negative interest rate when accounting for future inflation). Individual workers are already eligible for $600/week of unemployment bonus through July 25 as long as their business doesn’t re-open, for many of them their economic situation is actually better if we waited two months to reopen as they get paid more than they would working their job.

Unfortunately some businesses like restaurants are being poorly served by the PPP and treasury department regulations that don’t allow them to pay enough out of PPP to pay rent in higher-rent locations.

That could be changed, but the Federal government is counting and planning on economic pain to force states to reopen too fast instead, without tests or other measures in place that could reasonably be expected to cap or reduce new virus cases. It’s a very short-sighted plan.
Anedcote from me: I took Omeprazole for years and had to stop when I entered USMC bootcamp. All stomach issues disappeared when I started exercising and eating right. That was over 10 years ago and to this day my stomach is fine. I've kept up the habit of eating well and exercising mildly.

TL;DR change your eating habits and exercise before trying to solve everything with a drug
Nothing can explain it to you like experience. It's nice to be principled and see the world as black and white, but the overall theme I was trying to portray was that everything is trade-offs.

You can't have your cake and eat it too here, everything costs, and player experience is king.

Cheating happens, we don't want it to, but we do the best we can with what we have, and if it's not enough: play on a platform that does not allow memory modification and injection. It's damn impossible to "secure" a client, and when we do people cry about DRM. (I'm not saying that some DRM isn't to "prevent piracy" and I'm a free software advocate so I hate DRM, I'm just saying that if we included DRM in our game people would go nuts about it- but it would help solve the issue here).

Show HN: Fuzzy Search Magic Cards and Pin for Help Playing over Webcam
Hello! I've been playing MTG over webcam with friends and made a site to quickly search for cards & keep track of cards while they are in play. I decided to open this up to anyone else since I'm sure there are others playing over webcam. It is still a work in progress, and if you have feedback, I'd love to hear it. You start typing the name of a card, and it automatically starts fuzzy searching the card titles. So if you type "Chron", it will bring up "Chronatog", "Chronic Flooding", etc. If you click on the card, it moves it below to the pinned cards, and you can search for something else. Clicking on the pinned cards will remove them. I have a few things to fix, and will be adding things, but it should be usable at the moment.
True - I only (partially) re-implemented the render loop, and this is far from the complete game. A game is always much more that its core technical components.

Adding a keyboard/joystick input is high on my todo. In terms of moving around this really should be just a question of wiring it to the board: the renderer takes a generic x,y,z + angle viewpoint as did the original engine. However, this also means checking for collisions with the BSP scene which is fun to implement (a nice trick in a BSP is to shift the line equations and check with a point as opposed to checking with a disc of some radius).

Side note: I instrumented chocolate-doom (fantastic port) to output the path shown in the video. Initially I was loading a demo lump, but I realized that these are only the inputs and could not easily reproduce the exact way the game answers them (for example, progressive acceleration and of course collisions).

Next up on my list are correct blinking lights, working doors/lifts and sprites (things + enemies). But I also want to optimize it, and to release the language I used to make this. So quite a huge todo; we'll see how it goes. In any case all of that will be made available so everyone can join the fun!
> "Public health authorities" are all really clear: if you're going to wear PPE you need to do it properly.

You are confusing two things here. For preventing certain people in certain contexts from being infected, PPE is important. For preventing the average person walking around from infecting others to the point of upsetting curve-flattening efforts, any kind of face covering (even if it be a scarf or a Buff) will satisfy the requirement in most countries now.

Indeed, the public health authorities – at least in Europe which is presently my main concern – are very clear here: the authorities overall are calling for masks to be required only in shops or on public transportation. Countries like Poland and the Czech Republic which require masks to be worn at all times in public are outliers. (And I expect their rules to soon be harmonized with the less strict countries. De facto in Poland the outdoor requirement is not even being strictly enforced outside the major cities).
> Most players don't want self hosting, they want to hit 'join game' and have a nice gameplay experience

Citation needed.

An honest test would be to release a game with both options. Might be hard tot count the decentralized players though.

I had never heard that about sunlight before, but if true, it seems impractical to roll out ICU beds into the sun. (Not sure if patients outside of hospital would need blood thinning of course.)
Edit: read too quick when typing "outside of hospital", ambulantory care has nothing to do with ambulances.
It's one thing to say that NYC should re-open- they're past their peak. They've gotten through the worst of it. I read one study that said as much as 20% of New Yorker's had antibodies now.

But the rest of America (and Canada) are not yet at the peak yet. The number of deaths per day is still climbing. To re-open now is to kill thousands.
Don't want to speak for the OP, but that's typically the kind of quality I get directly out of Meshroom with no work other than throwing the pics in it and waiting ~ 4 hours (less if you have a fast, modern GPU)
I guess it can help with coping with one's own fear and helplessness. Those people brought it on themselves, so I'm good because I didn't do the bad things they did, and it's less of a problem if they suffer, because again they brought it on themselves. Something like that maybe. I don't really get it either.

Some of the ultra-cheap "battery portable handheld games" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handheld_electronic_game ) which are still produced today may have such ASICs, although I suspect a lot of them are actually a 4 or 8-bit CPU with a mask ROM.
Could you elaborate more why this could be faster? These experiments take some time to complete. Also should I not use --parallel flag?
I don't know, but where I live, it's basically impossible to buy these anymore.

The question is, to what end? Unless the state remains closed for the next 12 months (ie: until a successful vaccine exists in mass quantities) at some point the numbers will go up. So staying closed longer doesn't really help (as long as rates are kept under "hospitals implode" levels) and just ensure an even larger economic decimation.

edit: As for your emotional point, how many dead black and latino Californians will there be over the next 30 years due to the massive increase in poverty?
I could not agree more. Having fixed private IPs on AWS is a pain. Looking for AnyCast solutions in AWS is not clear to me.

You can just hit play and get assigned to high ranked community server in same manner as you do to official.
Nothing you say in first paragraph outplays community servers.

Your second paragraph is your memory, but its not what it is now.
Empty servers? what about "hide empty" checkbox in serverlist? Or your praised Join Now button finding server with high pop?

Server lagging-disconnecting? Are we in 1995? Most current servers are on par with official. In fact, I more often encounter connection issues in games that only sport Official servers, and the fact that I just cant join different server sucks.

Hacked server galore: Thats the issue with official servers too. Frankly, people devoting time and resources to host a server for their favorite game dont do so so they can hack on it.
