There’s thinking long term, and then there’s thinking “what if the government shuts down the economy over a once in a hundred year pandemic?” There might not even be an airline industry next time this happens. I honestly think it’s totally

> If it's a good idea now, it's going to be twice as good of an idea in three days. If I had a crystal ball, six months ago we could’ve picked a good date. But that doesn’t mean I should have shut things down sixth months ago.

What if there are multiple strands of the virus, and Europe is being dominated by the more potent one? We might not even be surprised that the more potent version ended up on the other side of the planet.

Interesting. That page, and the page on the address programming language, both could use a lot more detail and significant editing. Hopefully more people who speak Russian can contribute to these articles.

I also think it’s ridiculous for people to want these companies to store up money for a rainy day, while at the same time keeping interest rates incredibly low.

I’ve been dual booting Ubuntu on a ~2016 MacBook Pro, and have found the power management is pretty rubbish. Any tips?

I have also been thinking about having the military come in and start building hospitals. The president seemed to have no qualms about using that power for his wall. But on the other hand, doing so might greatly decrease military readiness.

I don’t think it has to be a tinfoil approach though. I just mean, if we are going to restrict people, have aggressive sunset provisions on those orders (or poison pill the bill somehow to get more incentive to repeal it as soon as we beat

You’d have to have a staggeringly low false positive rate to be able to do this, because you’d basically have no prior, and you’re testing for multiple things.

Interesting. I have a few tickets that qualify for free rebooking. My experience was though that every future time slot costs more money. This has left me paralyzed, because I’m not sure if I should just give up on the money, or double down

I’d also like to see a lock down that doesn’t completely throw away our civil liberties. This is a serious issue, but I don’t want to be locked at home because we’re fighting a “war on viruses” twenty years from now

So, I don’t believe in karma, but man that is something. I wonder if deep in his subconscious he knew he had the disease, and was acting rebellious.

Just yesterday I listened to an interview with a medical expert, and the host asked him if he should cancel his domestic holiday plans. The host assured him that was premature. And yet here we are the next day. The situation is evolving rap

Yes it’s strange that everyone’s so eager to say work from home, don’t shake hands, don’t go to parties, don’t go to sports games, as if these were just arbitrary aspects of human life that we can discard. In fact, these are important socia

It might have to do with the testing technology. If your false positive rate is high, but you’re only testing people with clear symptoms, it’s fine. But if you test random people the data could be too noisy

Because of the new released documents. It says exactly this in their story. And why is it every time some article comes out about US spying, there is always someone complaining that they knew this all along? Good for you?

We all know that publishers add little value to science, and nature here looks to be striving to add even less than usual. If the peer reviews are not of good enough quality, your editors should be handling that! Don’t rely on the readers t

It’s interesting that the point of the article seems to be “look how trusting Finnish people are of others”, and yet the take away from the story might be “Finnish people were surprised by the trustworthy behavior of a cleaner”
