Don't think of it that way. Think of it as cookie/token spam. Just like email spam, we'll have to employ various tactics in order to fight back. Heuristics, known bad-player Databases, punishment and domain-blocking, etc. How likely is it that any mail server will deny mails coming from facebook.com? The ability to "send" your browser tokens should be something that requires a reputation that the various entities/domains have to earn and retain. And if Facebook decides to abuse it, then their domain will start breaking because they rely on cookies.
For most of the United States the total lockdown has been overkill. A better way to compare the US to most European countries would be to compare individual states and even then some states have rural populations that would have been fine without lockdowns. For example, New York City is one of the hardest hit cities but the rest of the state of New York has had significantly less cases and deaths. Is this because of the lockdowns? Probably, but at the same time our hospitals have not been running at capacity or even close to that (some have even furloughed workers because all elective procedures have been cancelled).

If the goal is to find a cure before we lift lockdowns we better do something to help those economically impacted by them (and giving away free money is not a viable option). If the goal is to not overwhelm our healthcare systems we are doing that great but a country wide lockdown is not viable either. The New York Times has a good map [0] to show how little most of the country has been affected. That is why state governments should be handling the outbreaks in their own state instead of shutting down the country all together.

These lockdowns were implemented because we had no idea how this virus worked or where it was. We have a much better idea now and each state can act accordingly.

If I understood it right they checked that against two groups of 20 people (40 in total only). The study itself seems super interesting and important but such ridiculously small sample size to me, a layman following COVID-19-related research. Is 40 acceptable in this case? Since they are on Cell.com I suppose it is. Bad sample size in COVID-19 research has been discussed recently already and it is a known problem. Another thing is that the sample size was a hidden lead in page 3 and a figure shown only in page 11 of the paper. I wish scientific papers had something of a "nutrition facts" label with basic info like that in their first page.
Why is that? I don't see the need for testing when we already know that folks under 60 are usually fine if they take the standard precautions, and everyone over 60 or in a risk group should remain isolated.

The testing is nice to have, but shouldn't really alter people's behavior.
The title here is missing the "right now", why leave that out?
This is the fastest way you can traverse in DOM tree especially if you have an app that heavily depends on manipulating dom nodes. Let's say for animation, you targeted the clicked element with transition and apply internally some logic to the dom tree elements before they got effected with this transition. In this case, stored relations really shines.

Think of it when the user doesn't click once or twice, but actually hundreds of times. That wouldn't be a problem if you know what DOM is look like. And that's not applied to a known app you design. This is an algorithm, that simply designed to deal with any tree even frameworks that generate DOM Asynciously From parents to children and vice-versa.

> This is saying that 40-60% of existing immune responses (learned over many years of previous coronaviruses) are also protective against the SARS-Cov-2 virus which causes Covid-19 disease.

Existing cross-reactive adaptive immune cells or antibody != protection from this new virus. It only shows that these viruses are similar so there is some cross-reactivity from immune cells and antibodies designed to detect some viral epitopes (not terribly surprising). The question of whether these CD4+ t-cells that cross react are protective in humans would still need to be determined. (ie, what you’re saying is possible but not at all a foregone conclusion).

The possibility of ADE mentioned in the discussion, for example, would actually mean that some cross-reactivity (in this case of antibody) could actually cause very severe disease in those individuals. This, by the way, would also be a good explanation for why more naive individuals to all human coronaviruses (ie children) do not generally get as severe of disease.
Are they really clueless, e.g. they don't know there is risk, or do they merely have a different attitude towards that risk than you?

The effective R is R(0) multiplied by (among other things) the susceptible population. If those with existing protection are still susceptible and still become infectious when infected, then this does't change the evolution. It's likely that those who are infected but have some immunity develops a less severe illness, which is possibly less infectious.

But there is something that works in the opposite direction: if those with some protection become asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic but are still spreaders, then their lack of symptoms might mean they move around more and have more contacts, outweighing their smaller level of infectiousness. We can't know.

If those with existing protection can't become spreaders, then it should indeed mean that the R0 is much higher than expected (It was estimated from doubling assuming 100% were initially susceptible, so if only 50% were initially susceptible then the estimate would be off by a factor 2). But I don't think that this is what the paper is saying. It's saying that some have partial immunity responses that deal with the infection. They still get immunity after their infection, not before.

Testing is a point-in-time measurement. Means little if someone with a negative test can get infected an hour later.

We should instead be teaching people to recognize early symptoms so they can immediately isolate during the time-bounded phase of virus shedding.

Testing is sanitation theater with the side effect of creating a surveillance society.
> Is it inconceivable to you there are people who are ok with doing cleaning jobs?

It is inconceivable that there are enough people. We know this because even during the height of a recession, certain classes of jobs still cannot be filled. Most people would rather be unemployed than pick fruit for example.
Well to a large extent that’s policy driven as well. The media have been pounding the message safer at home unrelentingly for weeks. Make no mistake, the virus is real, it is far more deadly than the flu, and while there’s no natural experiment it’s likely the lockdown saved lives.

That being said, the messaging hasn’t been calibrated very well.

Everyone talks about the post 9/11 “security theater” of the TSA, but because we’re unable to reasonably assess the threat, today we’ve got equivalent public health theater, but the TSA is us.

> Can you maybe elaborate why this model is better than async/await?

Others have given actual explanations, but I'll chime in with a bit of a tongue-in-cheek one: it's better than async/await because it doesn't have async/await (yet has all the benefits provided by them).
I've never had a fake from Harbor Freight. They source their own stuff.
We don't have 'papers' in the UK (not really sure what you think they would be - it's quite an archaic term), but if you showed why the travel was essential then it'd be fine. Hiking wouldn't count as essential, obviously. But as I said it was recently relaxed to travel a short distance for exercise.
And it's important to note that one of the "other guys" is plain cash. Interest rates are near 0, in many places they are negative, so I think it's a fair bet to think "In 10 years it will make more sense to own a sizable investment in the productive capacity of the US, vs dollars which the fed has been printing like crazy."
Agreed, and nor is this point addressed in the dogmatic claim I see at many places that "markets always go up". They dont go up regularly for japan, greece, italy, australia in the previous decades. Also, all this growth at the cost of others has led to the "historic returns of 7% in s&p", another dogmatic claim in FIRE circles.

It is not clear how these two are sustainable.
I would love for this to happen as it's quite a shame really how most companies still require you to move to US to work despite being a tech company.

The response was primarily by Th cells, not the TC cells, so yes, this isn't immunity, but it would speed to body's adaptive immune system response.

OTOH, the killer feature of Covid-19 seems to be triggering an out-of-control adaptive immune response. That's probably why kids aren't dying, as their adaptive immune response is still developing.
> it's a lethal disease that messes up a lot of young and healthy people pretty seriously.

What definitions of “a lot” (using actual numbers, not anecdotes) and “messes up” are you using here?
I'm not against caution, but don't take credit for saving kids without hard facts. It is an unnecessary appeal to emotion.

Worse, it has a shaky basis with everything else we do know about the virus. Which is that it is highly contagious and the earliest community spread cases we knew of in WA included a student. Which is to say it remains to be proven that we did keep the kids from getting it.

Again, I'm not against caution. And I am not pushing for reopening the schools. I am pushing for testing the students to see if that ship sailed or not. If it had, I would actually push for more expensive measures on older populations.

> is that the stock price reflects global demand for ROI

Says who? For which stock? I understand a company's stock price to represent the net present value of the expected future performance of that company alone. I don't see how there can be one expected return on investment that applies equally to all companies, as expected return on investment will be determined heavily by risk which will vary considerably company by company.

Yes, as one of the authors said on Twitter, this doesn't prove anything about the effects on SARS-CoV-2 immunity, but it is suggestive:

"Whether this immunity is relevant in influencing clinical outcomes is unknown, but it is tempting to speculate that the crossreactive CD4+ T cells may be of value in protective immunity, based on SARS and flu data."

> “The consensus seems to be, ‘Don’t worry, the Fed has your back,’ ” Druckenmiller said in his presentation. “There’s one problem with that: our analysis says it’s not true.”

No, investors haven't lost their minds. They are betting that the Fed will backstop the stock markets by any means necessary.

Try this though experiment. Which US companies will not be allowed to fail under any circumstances? You might be surprised to find companies far outside of the banking and national defense industries on this list. Given the chain reaction that often takes place in debt defaults, you might be surprised to find almost every large US company on the list.

That's what the Fed needs to "backstop." The scale is beyond any balance sheet expansion currently being discussed. Of course, this isn't capitalism, either, but that seems to bother fewer people than it should given their rabid espousal of anti-socialist doctrine.

Whatever you calculate the current US national debt to be needs to factor in the market value of those companies that can not fail under any circumstances. Most tallies don't.

Now, try to use any traditional metric of value (P/E ratio, dividend yield) or risk to buy some stocks. You'll quickly throw in the towel and remember that ultimately the Fed has your back. Right?

Right. Blood from 3-4 years ago has antibodies. One interpretation could be that those people were never exposed but somehow have antibodies which needs investigation. Another interpretation could be that covid-19 is a particularly bad seasonal strain of a disease that has been around for a long time. We probably will never know. People are still studying SARS and MERS.

My attempt as creating a better Appium and open source version of testproject.io
In defense of Jira. It is a tool. Some people may say desktop linux is clunky and slow and difficult. But on linux, everything is up to the user. You can choose from at least 10 window managers, make your own from scratch, or fork and modify your most preferred.

Jira, is like linux. If you don't like Jira, it's either slow (will address this next), or its really that you don't like the organization processes of the team or organization you are a part of. Because properly configured, Jira reflects the working decisions you have made as a team.

As to being slow. I only had this issue once with a small dev shop self hosting in a closet. At a large enterprise with over 10,000 engineers using Jira, not including the non-engineers using it, it was always lightning fast for the self hosted version.

People didn't like Jira and started using Trello. So Jira made a Trello style view. People moved to Asana. Jira made an Asana view. Jira is everything, and if you don't like it, it either doesn't fit your use case ( yes its expensive and can take a lot of thought or time to set up properly ), but its likely more that you don't like your Jira that you are being _forced_ to use.

(On the other hand, I have many bones to pick with confluence).

I think the problem a lot of people have when looking at the stock market is they assume everything is modeled against current time.

The price of any asset in the market is best viewed as a predictive time portal into the sum of all potential future value that can be generated by that asset. So, when you see TSLA at $800, that does NOT mean that investors, the market, et. al. are perceiving Tesla as worth that much today or even this decade. The market is continually modeling and adjusting how much that asset could be worth in 5+ years considering everything everyone knows at current time.

It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that the market is operating in first-order terms. Obviously, stocks react immediately to bad or good news on a quarterly or better basis, and this can send hilariously-conflicting signals regarding the longer-term modeling that is implicit with every asset price. This is where day-traders and other near-term speculators always get stuck. They make a few observations and then believe they have identified a regime in which the stock market does indeed operate in first-order terms. And then out of nowhere, their assets are wiped to zero or worse because of some sell-side risk model that was just run at Goldman Sachs indicating that no one wants electric cars in 2025. Obviously, this example is totally bullshit, but it's conceptually how you get burned when you play the short game.
