   I don't really care the content at all, but I really wish these platforms took the "phone company" approach, in which they considered themselves neutral carriers of information. In the US, I don't know an obvious issue b

   I would love to see Intel get into contract manufacturing. We need more competition in that space and Intel's position no longer makes sense in the current environment.

   We are hit as bad with the government lockdown, or at least in the ballpark. And bigger economy too, so it's more impactful overall.

   The consensus IFR is generally in a lower range, from 0.2% to 1%. Here is meta analysis that pegs the range from about 0.5-1%. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.03.20089854v... But note this includes

   One important point in this discussion is that workers only have to return at their own discretion. Since no worker is being forced to work, the argument is best thought of as whether or not workers who chooses to work should be allowed to

   I have been wondering for a while what the legal mechanism for shutting down businesses in the US actually is. I'm not being snarky, I just literally don't understand the legal mechanism. Prior to this crisis I would not have thou

    While I fully support basic income, I don't feel a survey is very insightful. I mean, we have to work with the tools we have got, but it's not like this was a blinded result. All survey participants would have been aware: 1) they

    Duo is great, very underappreciated in the US. The video call quality in intermittent networks seems hands down the best for me (we use at work when slack or zoom have issues).

    While pushing for safety is a good thing, ultimately essential workers are the same as non-essential workers, except with an option to work. This is except for anyone being forced to work (there are certainly a few categories here, like the

    I thought this was great thank you. I disagree with some other commenters about log scale, I think you have a good set of graphs here that are good for people trying to understand progress on test vs disease in one or more state.

    Note that the IMHE model as of today is dramatically different than the one in this article, and I think addresses all the articles major concerns.

    That site is good. 1) thank you, I do like this model better 2) I re glanced at the article and the article describes it as a place to see past predictions of the IMHE, which I think is selling it short 3) I think the generic name is why th

    I continuously look for models that are 1) regularly updated with the latest data and improved forecasts (something like weekly) 2) provide estimates out 30-90 days or do. 3) provide that data at the US state level. Right now, the IMHE mod

    The original posted title was more helpful. The Jetson AGX Xavier has been out for a couple of years, but it dropped in price from $999 to $699 and has double the ram now at 32GB.

    The CA Governor Newsom had said on a press conference recently that they had increased testing last week by about 40%, and planned a similar pace in the weeks to come. Don't know about how that relates to LA or how accurate that is. My

    One other quick note on my point above about case for lockdown. I am sure there are a ton of unknowns on the actual costs of the lockdown, but a back of the envelope suggest maybe 2 weeks of GDP seem directionally correct for the US, or abo

    Thank you for the time and effort in the write up as well as your engagement, it is what we need. 2 points: while I sort of get your "order of magnitude lik a flu" point I think it undermines your argument because you get lumped i

    I saw this on Reddit and volunteered immediately. It is an ethical no-brainer, with the one caveat that the study is run well. I am not sure about this article though. It focuses on these young biologists who like me have not actually done

    I do like the concept, and we have struggled internally to document things. I am interested in it but the biggest thing missing for me is documentation. I can't really tell how to do it, so for me I am not really willing to try and con

    I agree, I have the pixel 3a and it is the best phone I have ever had (I have switched between Android and iPhone). For me it's the size, battery life, and it just works.

    I don't understand the Sweden example. Their daily % increase in deaths is well below California. I don't know if there is a difference in counting deaths but Sweden seems to be doing ok relative to other countries. I have heard t

    Well, I think we agree it would be a crap "plan". However I think for most people "California’s Roadmap to Modify the Stay-at-Home Order" is basically something like a plan. And Newsom's twitter seems to really allu

    Thanks for replying! I agree I would like to see better numbers. However, I don't think that things like mask compliance would change the criteria marked in green, rather it would change the actual tracked metrics and require another l

    Thank you for your reply. I don't understand the objection that this is locking government in. Every level of government keeps setting dates then changing them, so I don't see how changing a criteria for a level is worse.
