Not without CT scans of COVID-19 patients and doctors' reports, I couldn't. We do have those, however. We can't know what percentage end up with lung scarring. With CT scans, we need to wait to see how lungs recover with time

Younger people have lung damage. Read the reports of MERS and SARS survivors to see how that goes. Also, we don't need to kill our economy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YbtJGn7ida2IYNgwCFk3Sjhs...

Now if they could get me my groceries. And to everyone else. Grocery stores are where we'll see the next super-contagion events.

I've designed medical devices. They're not rocket science. Yes, being tolerant of a single-point-of-failure is important, but not in this climate. Military should cut through fines. And as for lives, they just need to be more saf

Projecting out, we'll be overrun in 15-30, but we'll still be overrun in 90-120.

It will solve one part of the equation. We can figure out the other parts in the 90-120 timeframe.

If people think the dollar is significantly overvalued, they'll switch to gold, bitcoin, rolls of toilet paper, or other forms of ad-hoc currency. That's what happens in countries with 1000% inflation, for example.

If you delay, the only thing that happens is you need to resort to drastic measures for longer, more people die, and more economic damage happens. The trick is to manage the economic implications. The government can hire those people, pay p

Good. Now all of America needs to do this at the same time for about 3 weeks. Then we need to have infrastructure to trace, track down, and quarantine any remaining cases like Korea.

Of course we could have contained it. See Taiwan for a golden example. About one case per day since this started. China, Japan, and South Korea or other examples.

One consumer? No. All consumers, it definitely will.

That's where 0% credit comes in. It needs to take the whole chain. We shut down for 3 months. Net 60 terms become net 150. Net 90 becomes net 180. Everyone pays as planned, just up to 6 months later and with no interest.

... no. Unless you're a child, it's not a cold. Good shot of ending up in the ICU.

Thank you. That's what I gotta say. Thank you. I hate all the cynics and conspiracy theories here. It's a generous move, and deeply appreciated. Jack didn't spend that much money to be a douchebag. He spent it because this wi

No. I know the personalities involved. It was not a cover story.

I wanted to address one error in this article: "Richard Stallman being compelled to resign from the Free Software Foundation." RMS was not compelled to resign from the FSF. RMS decided to resign since he felt it was for the good o

Suspending mortgages and interest is absolutely the economically right way to handle this sort of crisis. You essentially want the economy on hold for 6 months, and then to come back at the end as if nothing happened.

I think #2 is the right outcome. Perhaps not give the money to people outright, but use it to manage the situation (e.g. cover lost wages for people staying at home from work, help airlines and similar businesses stay afloat, etc.).

Seems like that could be done by paying people, even if they don't show up. "Paying people" seems like a good way to define "crewed"

I've been using DDG forever. I do !g once in a long time, but not often. I think the most common use case is Google's excellent calculator. DDG is buggy, and when it works, just isn't as good.

I kind of agree. This is the sort of thing which should be handled through a $500 lawsuit, not a $50 million law suit: * Namecheap should say: "That's not our problem. It's up to the courts. Get a warrant." * Facebook sh

We see major cancellations of trade shows and similar. At the same time, cademic conferences are moving full speed ahead... Including in areas with community transmission. Publish-or-perish becomes publish-and-perish.

Turning 4 or turning 5? If turning 4, canceling is reasonable. The kid won't really know what a birthday is and won't realize anything is missing or changed. The parties are almost more for the adults. If turning 5, I'd proba

How are the AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo for GPGPU? If I'm running numpy, pytorch, TensorFlow, etc. does AMD now just work? Last I looked maybe a half-decade ago, everything did CUDA smoothly and seamlessly. Support for OpenCL was a bit

Nope. News.yc individuals have biases, often quite strong. Some are very pro-Google, and some anti-Google. It depends on the time, the article, etc. Definitely goes both ways. And how much bias you see depends on where you are on the spectr

Microsoft went through an extended process with the DOJ about almost this exact thing in the day of Netscape Navigator -- using market power in operating systems to try to gain advantage in the browser market. That's unethical and gene

Nope. More famous researchers face the same problems. It doesn't kick until it's popular fame, as far as I know. In other words, if most computer scientists know who you are, you might still be okay unless you get unlucky (but you

The threshold is whether you need a job. The difference in stress of needing to hold onto a job, versus of being their voluntarily, is huge. And it's not binary. If you have a few years cushion saved up, it's a huge decrease in st

Law suits. The big one missing is law suits. That's a higher level of fame than this blogger has hit. That includes: 1) Nuts and idiots. For example, people who genuinely believe what you're doing is out to get them. 2) Jackals an
