it must be more complicated because it's very unevenly distributed - Milan was spared, and it's only 3km from bergamo

how is this excellent work? it's unscientific conjecture based on eyeballing some extrapolated data
457.
by buboard 7y ago
it's bad science to pick out one small sample of the most affected town (especially when arguably they could have considered the entirety of deaths) and extrapolating that "death rate is 4 times" . There is no statistical tes

this looks very similar to this webrtc sample by muaz khan: https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/Pluginfree-Screen-Sharing/... If you use his code you should reference him

i hope it doesnt go back to the same levels. So many people are learning to work remotely, i hope they stick to it. i dont know what that means for overall energy usage but it seems it will be cleaner

Email is the best tool for async work. Yes, it's meant to be uncomfortable and not fun. Fun things are toys, and slack invariably ends up being one.

Most people self censor here. Alternative points of view are not debated, they are flagged. Ask yourself how good of a job it did to help people get the picture about Corona, while other places (like my twitter) proved much more valuable. H

That s mostly an issue for airports, and health officials, cities cant expect all landlords to test their tenants regularly. Airbnb owns no properties, they ll go in recess and probably scale down but i see no reason it s the “end” In thr

unfortunate analogy. many countries with closed internet have "cloned twitter"

I guarantee that 13+ years ago nobody did testing for research model code, and i doubt the peers reviewed it. On the other hand, it should be easy to reproduce these simple models in any language, if you find his original publications

That may be highly specific to this period, where italy outside hospitals is in lockdown. As we move forward, people will use the tests to decide whether to go back to work, which makes them more critical

during WW2 people were glued to BBC broadcasts. people in shelter want to know whats happening outside the moment it happens Same reason why news readership has gone up a huge amount this week

my guess is that in the coming months, international travel will require a mandatory 3 hour wait at the airport to get your test result

yeah that's bad marketing but who needs marketing these days. their advantage seems to be that they don't need extra personell to run , so anyone with sufficient safety precautions could use them in a hospital

plus in the current context, false negatives are much more dangerous than false positives

I m sure ppl have considered various similar ideas, but the legal risk seems too large to take, esp. for a sector that has been conditioned to sell virtual trivialities for decades

Yes, there will be a drop in flu deaths this year for example. And a rebound next year

It s probably for the best. You dont want twitter crowds shutting down conversations and leading to analysis paralysis because every intervention is risky. I would go even further and say the records of these groups should be deleted after

yes WHO woefully mishandled the situation, from underestimating the gravity of the situation and arguing against closing borders in january, to delays declaring a pandemic. Thankfully , countries acted independently

instead of all these remote tools i like second life. designing and conceptualizing things in 3d is another dimension

You re forgetting that people need time to adapt. Imagine if we did the opposite switch, we went from all being farmers to working in an office downtown overnight. It happened, but over many many decades. Of course it's not going to wo

That may well be the reason why the virus spread continued in italy and Spain, from parents to grandparents.

You can look at equivalent projects for understanding the brain: the Human Brain Project and the BRAIN Initiative. Impressive projects, but nowhere near the success of particle accelerators Like others said, many ways the virus could be dea

This is the absolutely worst way to go: they are essentially telling nature to take its course, killing what it has to kill. We might as well stop vaccinating people and stop taking any drugs - the 10 people left alive will surely have her
