That's from the paper? I wasn't sure from the article - they mentioned 50+ individuals but then said they had various conditions (group first or individual first) so I assumed they ran them in different groups. I'll agree a single group of fifty is ridiculous - 10 would be pushing it for me. You'll probably get 2 people posturing/dominating in most places.
I used to feel as you do, which is basically "What about the special cases!" But then I realized that it was much preferred and easier to have consistent styling automatically enforced everywhere. For the rare times I really don't like it, I can just add an ignore prettier comment.

The one thing I'll give to you is the handling of arrays. There is an open issue to treat array literals the same as object literals in that newlines between elements will be respected and not automatically compressed onto a single line if the whole line is less than max-width. After about a half year of usage that's the only default I really don't like.

Should Isaac Newton have existed? He did more for humanity than an "average household" did by the same factor that Bezos is richer than an average household. Bezos allowed my (and millions of others') elderly parents to get food without leaving the house during the epidemics. Should he not be proportionally remunerated? Musk started electric car industry, that will help us to get off the oil. Was this a bit more than you did (since you are using your wealth as a yardstick in your reply)?

You can get a vial of generic insulin at Walmart for 20 bucks or so. This treatment would go generic as well and then become affordable to the masses.

Even before then a company would rather get $200 a month from a large group of people than $50,000 from a small group.

There’s a balance that’s upset due to insurance - companies charging what people can actually afford to maximize their profits.
> ..because CA locked down in a timely way. How do you know hospitals wouldn't have been overrun otherwise? They were in some places (Italy). This is playing out in real time after all, and nobody has a crystal ball, especially not Elon Musk.

Well, New York is a great comparison, but let's pretend that the lockdown did avoid an overrun in California and that otherwise it would have happened.

As I indicated, given that the vast majority of these (highly important) elective surgeries are out-patient, there is not a huge need to plan ahead when it comes to suspending surgeries. On the contrary, when we do realize that we are at capacity we can suspend elective surgeries at that moment and no sooner.

BTW, the utility of elective surgeries should always be counterbalanced against the utility of extra beds for COVID-19 patients. Many of these elective surgeries are still more important than COVID-19 treatment even when we hit an overrun scenario. So it very much depends on the surgery in question, and such blanket suspensions are a very bad idea.

> Now, there are early indications that reopening is resulting in new outbreaks, like at the night clubs in South Korea.

Right, which is precisely why the practice of indefinite containment is so flawed. Once you start doing it you can basically never stop (until you've teched up to a vaccine / game changer treatment)
Meanwhile, I wish people said maybe more often when they are not sure instead of acting like they are sure and making me waste time.
Came here to mention the Twizy because I see a it in the steets occasionally, so it seems to be somewhat successfully. The only other "single person, but not quite motorcyle" I see even more often is the BMW C1, which is kind of a scooter with a cabin and can be driven without wearing a helmet here. I'm biased though because I live in a BMW city.
It's important that cars continue to be available at reasonable prices, so it'd be very dangerous to snip off parts of the supply chain that makes that happen, even if it's not obvious why they can't take a break. Central planning is known to be risky and have surprising failure modes.
Its nonsensical. They get almost all of their funding from one source, which they say is a bad idea even though the income stream is very reliable for the foreseeable future.

So their plan is to get rid of it and replace it with...what exactly? Donations? Some other kind of industry that they have not mentioned yet? The plan seemed to start and end with selling off their primary revenue stream.
That's great! How soon can that train get to Talanes' grandmother's house?

> You say it isn’t saving lives, so what do you think it is?

I think that they intend to save lives but that their understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the best way to address it is so overly simplistic that the myopic policies they are instituting are going to lead to larger mortality over the long-term. Which is the pattern we see at the broader scale as well when we examine the US' response to the pandemic.

So, like I implied above, their intentions are good, but intentions are largely worthless.

I don't think anyone cares about ISOC beyond them having control of .org. Really, what do they do? By selling to Ethos, they'd get out of the public's purview. Then they could take the billion dollars and give contracts "to better the internet" to friends, family, and relatives. Free money!
> Don't forget to factor this breaking through to long term care facilities.

If they're not taking any precautions (because there's no knowledge of the virus in the community) then it can spread to those types of facilities very easily. In New Zealand where only 1,500 people have have COVID-19 (likely to be very accurate, 200,000 tests have been conducted) there's already been two outbreaks in nursing homes.
So many of the VPS companies have bots galore doing credit card attacks on smaller sites that it’s very easy and convenient to simply block those VPS providers.

I think that people are greatly overdoing social isolation point, especially whose who works from home. Seriously, when I was stay at home mom, I was way more isolated for way longer then this. And I am salty about this, because people act after two weeks as if they were on lonely island for ten years. When I had issue with isolation, people (both online and occasionally irl) acted as if I said something offensive for even mentioning it or being affected by that.

This is literally situation in which everyone is in the same situation as you, you can call to people who are in the same situation all the time. If you work from home, then communication from work is almost the same as before. I can see this from someone who is old and can not use tech, but really, this is not what isolation is.

I'd rather not have a motorcycle. I'd rather not have to suit up in special clothing to try and reduce the chances of injury from accidents which, from talking to motorcycle riding friends, seem to be strangely more common than accidents in cars.

I'd rather not have a car for my daily commute. Driving my large family vehicle for my job is wasteful and inefficient. I almost never need to carry anything large or heavy on my daily commute. I work less than 20 miles from home. I don't need a daily commuter vehicle with more than 2.5x this range.

I would love to buy a small electric vehicle, but the cost is prohibitive. A small vehicle, safer than a motorcycle and more idiot proof, would be perfect to augment my existing transportation options.

How to Switch on a Laptop
Here in Denmark, banks typically use NemID; a government issued 2FA system. The basic version uses an OTP sheet of ~140 passwords. People can opt in to use phone-based validation (push notifications to an app and confirmation with a slider). As far as I know (I don’t speak much Danish so I can’t look it up), this is a requirement to offer banking services in Denmark.

I used to work in infosec for governments and banks. Typically, the only way to have these kind of things implemented is by having regulation that enforces it. Banks don’t want to have to foot the bill for 2FA, and they can (as another poster pointed out) claim the user was careless with their password to not have to cover phishing attacks. Most of the time, banks will claim that their user base is in remote locations and SMS-based 2FA is unreliable (believable in Oz), or that they don’t want to “inconvenience their customers”.

The other issue is with choosing a tech. What if the bank picks wrong? What if it has an enormous cost?

A bank in the UK decided to use smartcard/credit card based OTP, and it resulted in the torture and death of one or two foreign students. It’s quite simply safer to wait until you’re regulated to use a specific tech, just so that you can’t be blamed if it backfires.
I hope you don't mind if I copy-paste a section from a piece I've already written that goes into this a bit. The TL;DR is that social isolation leads to worse outcomes, regardless of emotional loneliness. Also on the contrary, I think you are "underdoing" the social isolation point and are underestimating the extent to which this has affected everyday citizens. Keep in mind that there are some people here in the US that have literally not left their houses for the last two months except for maybe a weekly grocery store trip.

--

Finally, we need to examine the effects of social isolation itself. Beyond the fact that social isolation prevents the natural exchange of microbes that occur between humans engaging in social contact, it should be noted that social isolation is directly thought to lead to increased all-cause mortality due to worsened health outcomes across pretty much every dimension that we can examine. One review (https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/110/15/5797.full.pdf) of the impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults concludes that “mortality was higher among more socially isolated and more lonely participants. However, after adjusting statistically for demographic factors and baseline health, social isolation remained significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio 1.26, 95% confidence interval, 1.08–1.48 for the top quintile of isolation), but loneliness did not (haz-ard ratio 0.92, 95% confidence interval, 0.78–1.09). The association of social isolation with mortality was unchanged when loneliness was included in the model”.

It’s now popular to refer to what was previously called “social distancing” as “physical distancing” to note the fact physical distancing does not necessarily lead to loneliness; this is because loneliness can (perhaps) be mitigated to a limited extent by usage of social media and videoconferencing. Troublingly, we can see that it is the social isolation itself, and not the emotional feeling of loneliness, that is associated with death, and thus we can surmise, at least in older adults (but almost certainly in the broader population as well), that the widespread recommendations of social isolation (“stay at home”, “social distancing”, etc) will lead to increased all-cause mortality.

Finally, we wish to highlight that a small increase in all-cause mortality amidst the general population due to social isolation could very easily dwarf COVID-19-associated mortality, which as we have discussed is primarily constrained to a very limited subset of the population.

Actually they wouldn't have needed Bezos for that. Online shops have been a thing before Amazon existed, and even today Amazon is not the only online shop, it's just the first that comes to the minds of most people. Do you also thank the marketers that made "Kleenex" a common word for paper towels to wipe your nose when you have a cold? Given Amazon's theoretical inexistence, others would have undoubtedly filled that void instantly, just like if Kleenex never existed.

If anyone, thank Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the World Wide Web, without which none of the aforementioned online shops could exist. And last I checked he didn't become a mega-billionaire from that invention.
For what it's worth, I doubt that Tesla's facility would have ever been shut down if it were in BC. Manufacturers here just had to demonstrate that they could operate safely, and in accordance with distancing rules, cleaning requirements, etc.

Seems to be working pretty well.
The epidemiologists who have been advocating for lockdown have very explicitly ignored all of those sources of mortality entirely. They have only focused on COVID-19-attributable deaths and that's it.

Now the job of the modellers is to predict COVID-19 mortality under various scenarios, and it's the job of policymakers to counterbalance those predictions against the economic realities, etc. So, it's not necessarily a problem that epidemiologists would focus on predicting just along the dimension of COVID-19 mortality.

But unfortunately our policymakers have completely disregarded that need to weigh both the positives and negatives and instead have talked about "following the science" and basically myopically parroted whatever these highly opinionated epidemiologists (Ferguson, everyone at the IMHE, etc) were saying, without mentioning the negative externalities associated with lockdown, except in passing in a way that implies that economic damage will be constrained to shareholder returns (which is completely false).
And appointed/elected officials don’t have unlimited power to pass whatever laws they want, regardless of the will of the local people. Two sides to the same coin.
> Instead, it seems that Musk is doing this just because he thinks he can get away with it, or because he is simply angry with the elected officials of his county. In such a situation, Tesla and Elon Musk should rightfully be punished for their actions.

Here is the thing about the Tesla culture, which is like a more subdued one then the one at SpaceX: some people are 'all in' about the cause and are putting their Lives at risk working 10+ hours everyday.

One of the reasons I decided to go work for Kimbal instead of Tesla was the mandatory Swing shift for Supply Chain (at the time) ahead of the Model 3 ramp. People were putting in 60+ hours in 4 day schedules. Burn out is not possible, its near exepected. They also offer really amazing Health Packages, like the best any other Multi-national corp ever offered me because they understood it as critical component to success in such an ambitious goal. At Kimbal's place I could do 60+ hours over 6 days, which if you've done either is taxing, but the former wipes you out and messes up your circadian rhythm, which as you get older is harder to re-adjust on the fly.

If you honestly think there aren't people waiting to just go back to work at the HQ factory to do what they joined up for int first place then you haven't met many Tesla people, let alone any SpaceX guys.

Is this fair? I think if Elon/HR has stipulated there are no consequences for those who can't or won't return, then, yes. The Factory has only just been able to recently turn things around after an amazing Manufacturing feat from the Fremont Team, only to have this stifled by the Local government, who oddly benefit a great deal from the revenue generated from Fremont.

If any of you have been to Fremont, you'll know there isn't much Economic activity there, even for the East Bay. Lots of local businesses, little restaurants and some fast food places rely heavily on Tesla employees. This is a lose-lose situation which may be due to political reasons, but if a fine is all the stands in the way of making the deliveries back-log get smaller, then its worth it. (Elon is saying he is willing to get arrested for it?)

People have paid in full for a Model Y, which has been refined due to Model 3's hard-earned lessons, the losses and missed opportunity costs are immense. If they have to move production of Y to Shanghai and re-import them to the US then not only is that a supply chain nightmare, but it completely undoes the cost-savings that made Shanghai imperative in the first place.

I don't blame him, this has also boosted the stock price above 800 again, too. So the Market agrees with his decision.
That's not exactly true. Some states reopening (like GA) no longer consider a covid absence to still be eligible to receive benefits.

What they are measuring is the confidence levels of an individual and how they relate to us trusting them or detecting something is amiss.

A version of this is Practical Intelligence, an ability to talk your way out of situations or to talk about things which will soothe or convince the listener. I think this is a separate skill in itself, and has nothing to do with your general IQ levels (based on empirical evidence only, dont know of any study). This is something I found lacking in me where others would get out of an assignment or a test in school based on just convincing the teacher alone, or get access to things, work done from others while I would be left wondering how the hell they did it. It is an important skill to be taught - knowing what to say in front of who in any situation - to buid rapport, get support, connect on an emotional level (things I have struggled with occasionally hence those are more noticeable) and more like this to help you succeed in this world.

> his recent Joe Rogan interview shows the contrary

I listened to the interview and found Elon ridiculously dismissive of the risks and when he started arguing Shanghai's gigafactory not having any employees die of COVID-19 was proof of the shutdown being unnecessary, it became hard to continue listening at all. How many of those workers got infected and went on the increase community spread to non-employees? Why are we only considering employee deaths? It's as willfully ignorant as people saying things like "I don't wear a mask because I don't have any symptoms."
