This is so cool.

Congrats!
We use Visual Cron for ETLs, that would tell me that there's a market..?
That's why Linux doesn't have more users than Windows.
Do you realize that price isn't the only thing!?
Twitter should decide what business they're in. If they're a platform for people to discuss ideas, they should stay out of expressing their opinion, absolutely. What's next, is Microsoft going to fact-check what you're saying while you talk on Skype and add a message over your voice?
> The only difference is that people trust Twitter more than the current POTUS.
That's so cool! Perhaps you've found who can beat Trump in 2020—Twitter. I thought there was no hope, but maybe...
Why should Twitter do that. They're a tech company and are in no position to add to anyone's statements—specially a world leader's.
> If a world leader does that, it needs to be addressed. Would you accept all the information that comes out of other countries, for example North Korea?
It already gets address at the next elections. Even if it doesn't, are you saying that Twitter is the right institution to address lying from world leaders?
Does the leader of North Korea post on Twitter? Why are you comparing the leader of the freest country with the most oppressive?
So many questions...
Also, if they're false it should be easy to correct them.
Anyone who thinks about this for more than 20 seconds will see that this is about control, not protecting poor Twitter users who supposedly can't decide for themselves.
Who is Twitter to fact-check world leaders?
When world leaders rarely tell the truth, how can anyone realistically think that such a system could even work, even if it made sense?
Who is someone working for Facebook or anyone else to flag my messages because they think they're not factual?
This is crazy.
I have no idea why anyone would argue in favor of Twitter. When has it become required to be an expert in the field to be granted the privilege of leaving a comment on a forum? When has it become unacceptable to lie? People lie all the time. Advertisements lie to you, politicians lie to you, your mom lies to you.
It's really annoying that the truth police is going to go and check your tweets or comment—even if you ignore the fact that the line between facts and opinions isn't always easy to see. Even facts like Taiwan being its own country or part of China or the Armenian genocide can be denied, and people should be able to say that—and perhaps rightfully get shit for that, but still be able to say it.
We're going back to the Middle Ages, where if you say Earth isn't flat or God doesn't exist (replace with global warming isn't caused by humans, Covid-19 is man-made), you're executed.
Sad.
What you're saying makes sense, thanks for explaining.
That's a good skill to have!
If a lightning hit the hospital and made the power go out and turn his life support off, they would've written he was killed by a lightning.
Most people don't even have symptoms! In Italy—at least according to the government—you have a higher chance of getting hit by a meteorite than not dying from COVID, unless you live in Lombardy, are over 60 years old, and have 2-3 preexisting conditions.
I know that people die, and even 1 person dying is a tragedy, but if you compare with Spanish flu, Polio, Ebola, AIDS it _is_ an extremely mild virus.
As for being an expert, I never claimed to be. I didn't know you needed a degree to post on a forum. If you're asking for a recommendation, I would recommend plasma. We are having great success in Italy, with 2 hospitals in Modena and Verona completely erasing deaths.
This is an extremely mild disease, I would assume that in a few months we'll know enough to make it a minor inconvenience for most people (more than it already is, since most people don't even experience symptoms today).
What long-term damage you know of (not saying there isn't, just curious)?
This trend started 5 years ago or so, and it hasn't stopped. I guess it's just me.
Title of the article: "Muore di Covid a 30 anni: è la vittima più giovane", which translates into "30-year-old dies of Covid, he's the youngest victim yet".
Article starts with: "Dying younger than 30 for Coronavirus: a cruel fate, that of Michele Grauso, 29-year-old financier (he would have turned thirty in August)."
Second paragraph, finally mentions the small detail that he had also been shot in the head and had been in a coma for 2 years: "He was hospitalized in a vegetative state in a private facility here in the city. A coma from which he had never come out since a partner in 2017 shot him in the head by mistake..."
On TV, most news channels didn't even mention the coma. The family actually complained and it came out.
Not sure if news want to be sensationalistic for clicks, or because they directly get paid to keep the level of panic high by whoever makes money from the emergency (which is many, many people in Italy). Probably both.
At least in Italy, doctors were pressured to put "COVID" as cause of death of people that were given 10 days to live because of cancer and other diseases, but also tested positive.
Newspapers went as far as saying that a policeman that was shot by a colleague by accident and had been on a coma for 3 months was the country's youngest COVID victim, because allegedly he tested positive (of course, they failed to mention he had been shot and in a coma, other journalists exposed that lie).
From what I read and understood, since in the US hospitals get reimbursed by number of patients doctors came out saying that they were pressured to put "COVID" as cause of death even without testing, just because it was presumed to be COVID because the symptoms matched.
Unfortunately, politicians want power and businesses want to make money—and other people have their own agenda. This pandemic and been spun out of proportion by people that gain from it, at the expense of workers and most importantly small businesses, and at the advantage of China (and perhaps Amazon)—who are the only ones who are actually making money.
I wish the world was less corrupt—or at least people that are given positions of power in good faith.
I fail to see why any normal people would argue for it, though--and perhaps even why Jack Dorsey would.
I hope it won't happen while I'm still alive, but I definitely see a lot of countries becoming totalitarian nightmares in the next decades, with these genius ideas being dreamed up more and more often.
The line is already there, we don't need corporations to draw it for us. If something isn't illegal, it should not be censored.
If people commit crimes they'll get arrested.
Including those that commit crimes because they watched the extremely fringe and dangerous Qanon conspiracy theory you mentioned--which from what I've heard makes you torture and kill small animals right after the first video, to continue onto progressively worse things as you keep watching (stay away from it, kids!).
They're counting cancer patients that were given 30 days to live as COVID if they were positive when they died.
We can only count deaths, but even that is tricky since people that were given 30 days to live are being counted as COVID-19 victims if they were infected.
The only way to know what the impact of the virus is/has been, is to compare with deaths from the previous years.
What's the story behind the name..? :-)
This is great, and badly needed IMHO—specially if one can use a single app for both MySQL and SQL Server (Beaver DB is a usability nightmare).
The name will put off a lot of people. To be honest, if someone in a team said "we should replace all our SQL clients with Beekeeper!" the first reaction would be to laugh at the name—which is not good. "SQL Keeper", "SQL Vault", "Sequalize", or anything like that would make people take the project more seriously.
Congrats!
There are no reliable tests, governments are not doing a lot of testing, most cases are asymptomatic.
How do you even know the death rate, and how many people need ICU? The animation says 1-20, seems crazy.
