Fascinating. Can you give some examples of the priorities you incorporated that would be hard for off-the-shelf software to digest?

The transmission numbers for this disease seem to be much higher than for H1N1. I don’t think it’s yet known whether that’s because it takes less exposure or because more people are susceptible. Also, this virus may be as deadly in Africa a

She can get the mail. She should place it indoors, let it sit for a few days before opening, and wash her hands before touching any surfaces in the house.

China was certainly not an example of the first. They tried to cover up its existence in the beginning! The best examples are Japan and Singapore.

I hate the fact that I kinda see your point.

There are basically two paths: act swiftly and decisively at the very beginning. Immediately close your borders. Find the infected and contact trace them. Dragnet test where necessary. Haul off the sick to quarantine locations run by the go

Interesting. I do think that few people understand what a billionaire actually is, i.e. what force you can mobilize if you are one.

The “experts” are not doing their jobs! In the US you would have expected the CDC under the President’s leadership to act decisively and promptly. Obviously this did not happen. The randos are providing much more value than the experts in t

It bothers me how much good computer science Facebook does with the proceeds from something that has basically helped destroy the fabric of society.

I agree that the Supreme Court has basically torn up federalism, but technically rent is not interstate commerce.

Only down 50%? What kind of numbskulls are eating out at reservation restaurants during an uncontained pandemic?

Board members aren't there to invent the next iPhone, they're there to determine when the CEO should be fired, and to hire a new CEO when necessary. Right now, the Microsoft board is particularly pointless since Satya Nadella is o

If they took the 2% least savory bus riders and kicked them off, even calling them an Uber Black, I think they’d triple their ridership.

The advantage of the open source here is so you can configure the endpoints exactly as you wish. Not vendor independence etc.

My humanity is with the victim, I’m fresh out of any left over for the murderer.

Ultimately no death rates are additive. There’s a death for every birth, sooner or later.

You mean you would hate to miss out on that experience to avoid spreading a deadly contagion?

But Amazon is going to be the easiest to integrate, which is where Amazon will start, then use the data advantage to improve their product further.

Yep - satellite office growth isn’t a cost play, it’s a hunger for more bodies that can be thrown at projects that are guaranteed massive ROI.

You’ve got half of it, but the other half is the existence of the cell to interpret the data. The DNA is like a Lisp program, but how much good would a Lisp program be without a computer to run it?

They do have the ability to go remote, and they do have remote engineers, but the dominant culture is not remote.

If this works well I will eat my hat. This represents: companies with no remote-work culture (thus systems that are not fully documented, etc.), forcing employees into this suddenly (so they will not have a proper space at home set up for t

Yes but companies that are spending $60K on an employee aren’t spending $10K on their SaaS.

The new category is that Uber is as controlling as an employer in some ways (manner of work) but not in others (time and place of work). There should be a legal framework to handle these hybrid scenarios.

You can leave any time you like, just don’t literally take files with you.
