Or this way, let’s say that YouTube hosts earlier anti-mask content from Dr. Fauci/CDC and as a result some percentage of people are swayed by this content to not wear mask. Some percentage of them dies. Do you think that YouTube did

Somehow New Zealand is a special country with principles of freedom. I failed see that how it is culturally fundamentally different from other western nations. IMO, the acceptance is mostly linked to the effectiveness of the initial impleme

Unfortunately, our current vaccines are simply not good enough. Just take a look at the data from Israel and Iceland. From the article, it was clear already from last year. How many other variants do we need, as we let the apply yet another

The budget is as large as the (perceived) danger. And there was no excuse for being ill informed, after China locked down the whole province. And there's no better way to help the virus than lying to people about the masks. Even the Ch

I would argue that opening up is unrealistic. How are things going to pan out, when we apply selection pressure to the virus, while letting the virus sieve through the whole human population, creating dangerous variants due to our leaky vac

How long would a full lockdown take? (a real one, not a mockdown) The experience in Wuhan shows that 76 days would be enough to eradicate the virus from a massive outbreak. So the loss would be way less than 20% of the GDP (since essential

Either we do a full lockdown to reach zero COVID, like NZ and China did (while buying stuff online), or we would have to do prolonged mockdowns like in Europe. The Chinese have been living a mostly normal life (albeit with limited foreign t

I'm not saying that Wuhan's number is 100% accurate, feel free to inflate it by 10 times. But even with the censored social media in China, words do get across, and there's no evidence of any big outbreaks like in Wuhan or Ne

Nonpharmaceutical interventions do work. With Internet and E-commerce, full scale lockdown becomes tenable. Together with mass PCR testing, the virus can be eradicated. The virus can't teleport, and it is here to stay only because the

When we talk about population count, maybe China is a country worth mentioning here? The success in New Zealand seems like the elephant in the room, that the Atlantic article failed to refer to. Not to mention China.

Additional note: The data from a 2001 census shows that 94.9% of the population was ethnic Chinese. This ethnic classification may give you a different perspective, as this is not influenced by different political views. https://

> The people of Hong Kong were as much Chinese IMO as the Californians are Spanish. This is plainly wrong. The population distribution of Cantonese speakers shows that Hong Kong is only a small part of the Cantonese speaking region. [1]

Yes, indeed, having a peck order in group is natural. The different favorable trait would then have effect on the productivity, though. Asynchronous communication is way more friendlier to deep work like programming.

I don't know enough about economic modeling, but if the models can somehow be expressed as driven by a "potential" and a "flow" variable (like electric voltage and electric currents), then it would definitely make s

Maybe you want to look at Modelica [1] for inspiration? It is an open modeling language standard with open source implementations. It should do what you want. maybe abit too declarative however (you can always use the algorithm block instea

What astounded me talking to people working in self-driving car start-ups and spin-offs from incumbents, is that how little they care about simulation. The last accident from Uber confirmed that yet again. The fact is absolutely difficult t

For those who also use Matlab/Simulink for simulation, Modelica could be a nice alternative with an open implementation, which also has serious industrial application like controlling power plants.
