Anybody who doesn't use a dev VM these days is asking for trouble. It's too easy for attackers to run malicious code on your machine with techniques like this.

I love Grant Sanderson's YT channel. His video on Fourier transforms is amazing.

sudoaza, do you think its a coincidence that the virus outbreak began about 1/2 a mile from the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

Your argument is that Dr. Montagnier must be wrong because he believes in some crazy stuff, and you must be right because you became a virus expert about 2 months ago. I looked through your old posts and you mostly post about political stuff, so you obviously don't work in medicine, but hey I guess you know more than Dr. Montagnier, right?

This is the guy who discovered the AIDS virus, also won a Nobel prize for medicine.

Is this appropriate for HN? This seems like a purely political story, probably not the right place for it.

I was wondering why it took so long for a simple random sample study to be done, but finally it has been done, and the result is pretty much as I expected - millions are carrying the virus, making the true mortality rate tiny.

This looks like a reliable study since its testing for antibodies, rather than the more common swab tests.

You're absolutely right. 10X for point 1. Millions of people are carrying this virus by now. Most (probably 99.99% of "contacts" do not result in transmission), and the virus is airborne ffs, it could easily blow down wind and somebody could catch it. Are these apps accounting for this too?

Honestly how accurate do they expect these apps to be?

Absolute waste of time. Nerds with too much time on their hands.

This is absolutely dumb. You can't solve every problem with an app.
