asdf21··on Why strace doesn't work in Docker
>strace actually does work in newer versions of Docker

Good to know, this should open up some troubleshooting

Sounds like a backdoor to me.

I've never heard of that... in what state?

>will only alienate

>No one is convinced

Those are some pretty broad generalizations!

I've certainly been convinced on various topics by people who were correct and also rude about it.

Do you think laywers and police are always nice when trying to get to the truth? Have you ever seen the movie Erin Brockovich, or read about the events that inspired it? Would she have had the same results while being polite the entire time?

Rude comments may break forum rules, sure. But I'm not sure sweeping generalizations about efficacy, such as the above, are needed.

Or it just spread on the West Coast much earlier... which is why Gavin Newsom is autopsying bodies of people who died in Dec and Jan, after it turned out there was confirmed community spread in the Bay Area in late January resulting in a Santa Clara county death in Early Feb..

It blows my mind that people still use Facebook products. I disconnected in like... idk 2014? 2015? And never looked back.

Yep, me for sure, I love it.
asdf21··on Hundreds of thousands in L.A. may have been infected with coronavirus: study
Almost no one gets an antibody test yet, unless it's some special controlled study.

And I think they would just say it was "reasonable" given the information known at the time.
asdf21··on Hundreds of thousands in L.A. may have been infected with coronavirus: study
I suspect most people notice a bit of a cold or "allergies"

Like you said, probably only 10% to 15% truly asymptomatic.

asdf21··on Hundreds of thousands in L.A. may have been infected with coronavirus: study
It's rough because it's simultaneously very mild in the vast majority of people, but a horrific, suffocating death in a tiny minority, and highly contagious.

I don't know if there is a "right" policy answer on what to do with something like that.

As someone else said, the lockdowns are probably illegal, you can't just throw away freedom of association over the flu. But if we didn't have them, we might have seen another 100k dead..

Isn't it a backboard, not a hoop?
asdf21··on Coronavirus clue? Most cases aboard U.S. aircraft carrier are symptom-free
Well, that's a great thread, very informational and somewhat changed my opinion on this.

I basically figured since my symptoms aligned 100%, and also since I live and work near the largest casino in the Bay Area (which is a hub for tons of international travelers and people from SF Chinatown) that Corona was circulating around Wuhan in Nov, and made it to the Bay Area by December, and I caught it early Jan.

I still think that's a possibility, but it does seem like it would have made it to Seattle before mid-to-late February in that scenario.

Anyway, thx for the info.

When did you have it
asdf21··on Coronavirus clue? Most cases aboard U.S. aircraft carrier are symptom-free
Same, I had it starting January 4th in the SF (North) Bay Area, I'm about 90% sure.

I was probably basically a super spreader too, tbh. I went to work every day, 'cause I tend to power through whatever is thrown at me. At least I avoided shaking hands.

People were even talking about it back then... they didn't know it was Corona, but friends I know who are nurses were saying there is a "weird, bad respiratory infection" going around, and a lot of "atypical pneumonia" and a "really bad flu season but it's a weird flu".

We already had it weeks and weeks before the shelter-in-place in the Bay Area, I'm very sure.

I'm calling it now, I bet many people (>20%) have had it, whether they realize it or not.

To be honest, I think it was all over the Bay Area in late December, Early January (when I'm pretty sure I had it) and Feb.

asdf21··on Show HN: FoundersList – Looking for a cofounder or a new startup to work on?
I spent years doing this, but I would still need / want a technical co-founder for my ideas.

Now I'm a technical manager who can code pretty well, but that's not really all that helpful to launch something legit and complex.

asdf21··on Tesla, Musk must face shareholder lawsuit over going-private tweet
It's mostly options driven
asdf21··on Unicorn layoffs keep piling up
As someone who runs a restaurant in the Bay Area, that's not really accurate. We were busy right up until the shut-down.

IMO this is why brain scans should be more common / part of a normal physical every few years.

asdf21··on New iPhone SE
Yep, exactly. $400 is not unreasonable for the most important communication device, which should be amortized over 2-3 years (and explained to the kid)
asdf21··on New iPhone SE
Yeah, you would be... after they begged for the 200th time.

    Willing to relocate: no
    Technologies: Java, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Linux Server Admin, Xen Virtualization,
