South-korea, Taiwan and a few other Asian democracies have shown great organisational skills in this crisis. The title "catching it early" suggested to me that the article would be about macro solutions for societies to "catc

From my experience there are very strong currents in a group that are very hard to go against as an individual. Only very contrarian people will go against the grain in formal meetings with high level executives or other individuals with st

Was googling to see if I could find a news article to back up my memory. Instead I found an article on Wikileaks claiming CIA executed false flag hacking operations: https://theintercept.com/2017/03/08/wikilea

Same here. I remember once I was watching the news and they claimed a hack was done by Russians because they found Russian comments in the code. That didn't sound very convincing :). The ledger evidence sounds better. At the same time

I hear this sentiment often lately. But it always looked like 0.6-1 percent deathrate. Already in february this was suggested by one of the researchers at Hopkins, based on the nrs of South Korea at the time. And it's still around that

There's a lot of great advice to be found on this page. I'll just add one thing: your location matters. If you are in places where there is a high scarcity of engineers and good economic conditions (like western europe), it's

Thanks we are running a few node servers, we now deploy command line. Dev we use docker-compose. But we are looking for a way to easily share our servers. We developed it for Amsterdam open source. Around 20-30 cities are in line to start u

What would you suggest as an alternative, simpler form for docker deploy, running and managing? Docker-compose?

I'm working on some projects for the city of Amsterdam, by default all we develop is open source. But whether this is a legal issue is actually an open debate, in some specific cases companies could potentially sue Amsterdam for sharin

On the level of practical risk: on the security level libraries are much more risky imo. A good framework for most project i've seen will lead to a more structured and secure codebase. Probably precisely because there is less room for

Yes sort of. This is the obvious that bothers many. Of course there is also a deeper culture here. For instance that students in big name universities learn standard macro economics. And then when they come to the institutions this is their

It's more a way to drive a point home. Taleb has been shouting this point for more then a decade. A portfolio without insurance is no portfolio. His arguing is that institutions that are to big too fail hardly ever insure themselves in

The RIVM lost the battle in Februari not in March, this is was what my initial comment referred to. Throughout Februari and March they had the following policy: - Clearly stating and assuming that asypmtomatic people cannot or are extremely

We, the Netherlands, got it under control because we went into stricter lockdown against the advice of the RIVM. Above assumptions led to advice against a lockdown. Only under pressure of the IC doctors on Sunday the 15th of march did the p

I could have misunderstood! But when you can smell it when you shower and taste it when you drink it, there is a considerable amount of residue of chemicals in the water. Maybe I smell it because I'm used to water without it. I don&#x2
