What happens when Saudi Arabia collapses? Does the royalty get the fuck out of town on their private jets with as many gold bars as they can carry?

We don't know yet how much of a difference that makes. For example how many infected 80 year olds without medical treatment die compared to those that do get medical treatment. Medical treatment is certainly going to have a better mort

It is a similar situation to hurricane evacuations. A forced evacuation will save lives, but forced evacuations that turn out to be a false alarm because the storm changed direction causes people to ignore future evacuations leading to more

I totally agree. Some of the same people who roll they eyes at homeless people asking for change and fire employees for a couple weeks of low productivity are the same people who are now taking free money from the government without any gui

I think the general public is open to the idea of taking care of folks who lost their jobs. The problem is drawing the line. If a taxi company goes bankrupt a lot of folks would expect the taxi drivers to start driving for Uber. If ESPN has

That sounds correct, but "scientifically" we have to spend million of dollars and months of time to say for sure.

Some kids graduating today took in 50k+ in loans because they heard how great the industry is like you said.

A lot of people think of inflation as the consumer price index. ( Gas, bread, cars, toasters, etc) if those go up it puts pressure on wages because people cannot afford to live on existing wages at a certain level. The price of collectibles

How do you give consumers money and say "Do not spend this on toilet paper. The paper products industry is a max capacity and cannot produce any more TP. It will only cause inflation" In a free market people are going to spend mon

Good start-up CEOs struggle with this because many of them do care for their employees at a personal level, but they also have an obligation to the owners/investors to be financially successful. And the most findnacially successful CEO

In the real world you cannot have everything. Fast, cheap, reliable, scalable, secure, easy to use, os agnostic. Pick several or be disappointed about the theoretical perfect company that should exist and provide all.

It is cheaper to hire someone like that than a really good manager. Also if you hire a lot of managers like this you end up with an organization of hundreds who are running around looking busy.

It is a moral thing for people like that. They want to see 8+ hours of work a day. There is not much thought given to what was accomplished in those 8 hours as opposed to what could have been accomplished in a culture that prioritized resul

It is an unusual transaction, but we are living in unusual times. And the fraud detection process has not accounted for that yet.

Sorry, I don't believe in a magical skyman as a first principal.

From a first principal perspective there is no reason why anyone should think that it is impossible for China or another country to create 2 billion vaccine doses in the next 6 months. There are plenty of reasons to say this will not happen

It is similar to why organizations don't hire 10x engineers only. It is difficult, a lot of work and hiring just one bad manager could cause the 10x engineers to leave or become unproductive. It is far easier to treat engineers like co

Great dataset! does this get updated frequently? We just need 3-6 more weeks to know how this plays out. Do we hit 50x flu deaths or 5x flu deaths...

For a week I've been wondering about Germany's numbers. Maybe they are doing something wrong, or maybe it is China and Italy that are giving us bad data.

In some cases management is afraid and thinks that they need to appear to be positive and unwavering. I would advise to play along and not to feel like you need to actually be productive at this time

Increase of testing is 300% a day at times. For infections to increase greater than that you would need each infected individual to infected 3+ people a day. You may mean that the number of infected is still higher than the number of tests

If 5000 people die a day in average before the virus and 6000 people die a day on average after the virus would you say that the death toll is 1000/day or would you test all 5000 and say that any who had the virus were included in the

Yes, once we have a decent treatment/mitigation/herd immunity for the virus we will be able to pick things right back up where they were. The only difference will be that the value of the dollar is going to get cut by 50%. Expect

Then once you have 2 weeks of death data you can't get the transmission rate. Finally you could go to Seattle and sample 50k people to see how many were infected with a serology test to further refine the 1% assumption

What are the results of the "over capacity"? Are hundreds of people who could have recovered from the virus dead today because they didn't have access to oxygen, or ICUs?

Doctors "Give Up" on people all the time. If you have advanced pancreatic cancer, are 85 and a heavy smoker, most doctors are going to suggest you go home and spend your last few days with loved ones.

by bob33212 7y ago
The big issue right now is that the data suggests that 15% of people over 80 and 7% of people over 70 could die from this. If it turns out that those numbers are incorrect or that a medical treatment or preventative measure is discovered wh
