I would turn that around. There is a substantial amount of healthy individuals who end up in in ICU or worse due to the virus. This is certainly different from the common flu, for example.

I am a bit more worried. There is a recent study that shows a mortality rate of diagnosed patients at 11% [1]. This is not the true case fatality rate, but a sample of patients seen in Wuhan hospital. The true percentage is probably lower d

How do you get to that number?

In addition to this remarks of the sibling comment, we don't always have a well-understood objective function. For example, how much is lunchtime worth compared with time outside normal hours? What we can say is that there is a certain

In my experience, each sufficiently complicated model becomes non-linear in some respect. For example, you might want to work with margins for time-slots that are non-linear but smooth. So, even though I've worked with constrained line

I always wondered if there was a hidden way to get access to Cryptography II, using knowledge from the first course. Never could find any hint for that or anything.

It helps to have the versioning ordered correctly, so I'd zero-pad the ${count} variable, like so: printf "%s.%03d_%s\n" $date $count $commit

Philips Hue reverts to being a switch when controlled with the ‘normal’ switch instead of the controls that we mount right above the old switch. Works like a charm!

He was a great inventor, yes. But the results of all his efforts, in mathematics and engineering were fruitless for him. He died in debt, a disillusioned man. And why? Perhaps a good biography of the man will enlighten you.

I've noticed the same things! The same happens when I improvise piano. In addition, I cannot attach emotionally (empathy) to others for close to an hour.

Funny thing is that Tesla made a lot of interesting inventions and discoveries, but was barely able to keep the focus to bring them to fruition. He had his lab busy with widely different experiments, oftentimes conflicting, leading to huge

Thanks, your answer resonates with me. To add to it, a life goal doesn't need to be exorbital (pun intended). Just know what you are working towards, and take pride in the steps towards your end goal.

There have been many projects in the eighties that reserved areas of neighborhoods which dropped most building regulations as you describe them here, including one in Emmen, where I was born. The results are not pretty: garish, impractical,

And both of you will be better off if that thing you work out is sound and in both your interest. Perhaps you’re both happy now, but what about next year? What about when you move to another company? Take the advice: consult with a lawyer.

I have a private ZigBee network, a Z-wave net, another home brew 868 MHZ net and Philips Hue (also ZigBee). All connected to OpenHAB. Which of these IoT networks is a botnet?

No, I am not in agreement. We should always be careful with the information we gather and keep a focus. That’s different from: more information is always better. I am not a native speaker. Where did you thought I was abrasive?

Personally I am of the opinion that one should always consider the knowledge one gathers similarly to the food one eats and the friends one keeps. One burger doesn’t make you fat, nor does one bad friend make you criminal. But we’d better m

No, the statement 'knowing a thing is almost always better than not knowing it', is balderdash. An individuals knowledge is like a garden. It needs to be kept in order and it takes time to maintain. There is simply too much inform

But git is not truly distributed. Each 'node' in the network does not automatically gets access to new trusted nodes (remotes). Management of the distributed nature is still manual, meaning that your CI/CD system cannot sudde

Yes, it was rather late yesterday. It is actually the dichotomy that a URL should be a unique resource identifier for a specific resource, but unfortunately it isn't. When we place a link, we want to be able to query on that specific

Yes, but it still presupposed on a specific location. Alan Kay (together with many other experts on system design) is a proponent of late binding. To do effective late binding, we should be able to route requests to the correct location in

Well, I'd be pleasantly surprised to know it is Turing complete. For example, TeX is (IMHO) very unpleasant to use, but due to it being Turing complete, its abstraction LaTeX is much easier.

I guess he meant: browsers shouldn’t need features. It should be a network effect. It’s good to make a distinction between design principles and their resulting effects. Most of what I described before were effects of bad design.
