r0 doesn’t take per capita into account

clusters originally were isolated

Eventually this will matter though for absolute numbers, but our healthcare capacity is the bigger issue its not really a contest

> according to GroupMe messages obtained by FoHo

I remember coming to the bay area and it wasn't long before someone that felt they had a cultural affinity with me invited me to a GroupMe group. Man that was years ago. Surprised to see people still use GroupMe, still seems to be for cliques exclusively.

definitely raised an eyebrow, first thing I saw and I was like "wow this is gaining consensus on HN?"

but dyes, of course its a dyeing technique

could never get into the other thing personally, but its nice to see when my attractive friends have

That's great but every day of not implementing the short term plan exponentially rises the strain on the hospital system.

Nothing I said refutes the soon-ness of information coming from all around the world, its still not here though.

the medium term plan is more capacity and equipment at hospitals

the short term plan alone will flatten the curve too much, if successful, and we simply dont have confirmations about whether we build immunity or the virus dies out, so without those features the short term plan being the long term plan or a recurring plan (even if we build immunity but we flattened too much, then clusters reemerge). But in conjunction with the medium term plan and most people not being reinfected its the best solution

long term plan either way is a vaccine, effective treatment

edit: can you engineers please tell me and the world what some of you disagree with about this information? this isn't the place to write a dissertation on every edge case necessary to explain whats going on, and the lack of that dissertation doesn't undermine the point or utility of what is written

> Consequently, prices sometimes can be manipulated by the very well connected, who would be consistently selling and reselling the same works at increasing prices

Go ask your local fine art gallery about the prices, try to do literally any price discovery and get the avant-garde run-around and count the minutes until it gets defensive

"ah you know I'm just in finance and most of the markets I work with have other mechanisms for price discovery so I was just curious about how it works here, for this artist"

well you know you need to buy something you really appreciate for yourself and want to keep for decades and you need all that time for the price to appreciate

generic stuff, but none of this answers what the market depth is now and how is standing market depth determined and what were the prior prices, or why that piece over there keeps increasing in price by 15% but is still in your gallery - is this consignment from someone you just sold it to? how come they weren't influenced by the same thing you just told me

Anyway, you can't ask it exactly like this in a casual conversation because thats just asking for defensiveness, but don't expect a transparent market. you can try asking about the art world in any cordial way you can think of and get stonewalled. You know the answers deep down.

so of all those minorities you see pulled over on the curb, 90% of them were just being arbitrarily frisked and had nothing on them and were not arrested, but you wouldn't know the difference, some of the other 10% had drugs planted on them, and many of those weren't their first random stop

the other validation of all those arrests and prison population records, many of them simply took the plea deal or violated parole where anything from any minor infraction to exercising a freedom you already have such as staying out after a certain hour imprisons them for the original length of the sentence

the other validation is all the violent crime stats, which comes from communities demanding certain areas are policed, based on the images of 90% non-arrests already burned into their mind

all while all the minorities have been trying to say this is exactly what has been happening while the majority power remains in actual and intentional denial, now relying solely on an unquantifiable comfort that this is statistically rare, because it has to be, .... right?

> This is an issue with that particular website's implementation

because the product manager thought my user session was engaging with the site for 2 seconds longer so it must be good.

I never said it was the browser or the API just acknowledging that it is a predictable gripe and not a feature, and yes enabled by the browser and APIs

hm I wonder if there is a chrome extension for that

women don't mind bald men, it's just different women. which can be hard to accept.

balding men on the other hand, not confidence inspiring.
