Of course, the shakedown requires restriction of supplies right?

Are these new systems created just to get a fun name out there?

See this Aussie news program showing the the lockdown in Wuhan. Clearly the authorities were terrified. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycrqXJYf1SU

These things are flimsy AF. Better off with tents or temp wood structures.

But yes!

Inefficiency is intrinsic to all human activities.

Double over 5 years is just shy of 20%, risks have grown by much more than that amount. Current budget is a paltry ~30B. Progress is better than perfection.

Please vote for logical not ideological candidates.

So somebody is making money off this.

PAY THEM.

Dolphins?? I draw the line there those damn Neanderthals!

MacDonalds.

Many key variables change the outcomes significantly. I've heard epidemiologists talk about reducing the "populations" down to things like schools. But then they assume "everyone interacts with everyone". Hence they predict very high infection rates. Michael Levitt takes into account our typically small social circles and predicted Chinese "end" accurately (2-3%). The message is of course, physical distancing works and with our personal circles rather small, it works quickly. I am looking for Levitt's published algo but no sign, I'm going by reports. He is a Stanford Prof so likely legit.

The animated gifs make me need to write a decision journal to handle this article.

Yes, as water is to wine.

logarithmically? please

Finally, the plain truth.

Yeah, hello, delete it.

Wow, ok, finally.

Oh, data, that pesky thing. I go here, and observe rate of change (log) graphs. I ignore linear body counts, which all the headlines scream: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Italy is flattening and exponential growth becomes exponential decay.

...or how to get fat and sick on 1.50 per day.

NOOOOO How could this be?

For the US:

Pump money into Amazon/FedEx/PostMates delivery services.

Keep restaurants open and tap them into the food supply chain.

Close all stores except to delivery services.

UBI and universal health care starts now.

Asserts during development and testing are the best. Instant cadaver for inspection. Initial testing is very slow, crashes all over the place, stopped applications, etc. But then quality sky rockets as obvious things are fixed. Then eventually non obvious things get found. Logs hide problems in test phase.

Oh the bloated self importance.

I'll change that: Cold showers prime and help the human immune system. There is no downside to doing it.

Cold showers help the human body fight germs. Why not? There is zero downside.

The market does not solve everything, but it does create everything. Therefore we are evolving into pure consumerism.

Here's what cloud gives you that is very costly to implement internally, cost accountability. Analysts running the same queries over and over would peg internal hardware all the time. When we went to the cloud, we made a budget for each division, problem solved. Same with DS. Give them a blank check, they'll spend it, manage to a budget, they'll do it.

JFC, finally. Eating domestic animals is bad enough, wild ones is a complete non starter.

Short version, YES, total successful theft by the Chinese government. Because of our dumb morality based "good guys win in the end" and "long arc of whatever" we are suckers and can't believe when the bad guys win, news flash, they do, much more than all those movies and religious indoctrination stories would have you believe. In fact, they win most of the time.
