Most likely will see a lot of lifestyle business founders, unlikely to find companies that will blitzscale and go on to become unicorns in this lot.


Why?


Adverse selection.


It's early, but lifestyle companies are <10% of our applicants. Mostly clustered around series A/post seed.


Now just need a plausibility checking AI to vet GPT-3 outputs so the author doesn’t have to read through 10 versions of his potential blog post.


That's how generative adversarial networks work, right? One neural net to create, another to check if it matches the training data.


The assumption is also that hacker news readers are not subjected to fear mongering but I guess that assumption of mine was also comical.

Assumptions here obviously won’t be 100% accurate given it’s a simulation conducted 2 months before outbreak.

The point of this exercise is “what if” and seeing if useful extrapolations can be drawn from tweaking the variables.

I was a bit frustrated when I couldn't easily find an online guide to prevent the spread of coronavirus.. so I went ahead and compiled all the info I read and made this Coronavirus Prevention Guide http://stopcorona.org/

Hopefully it gets seen by enough people who will put the tips into practice and slow down the spread of the virus.


The theory is Wuhan Flu (there are actually a large number of "coronaviruses") is contagious before symptoms show, which is why it is so effective at spreading.

Preventing the spread basically comes down to avoiding people. I'm not sure that is great advice. The rest of this site is just things people should be doing anyway like washing their hands.


If you suspect that you were exposed to coronavirus or have it but are suffering from the milder symptoms, you should proactively self quarantine if you live with others, and wear a mask in public to avoid infecting others.


There is no information on the often-called "symptoms". What are the symptoms one should be aware of, one should check for?


Here's the best source I've found so far, it's quite reputable:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...


Symptoms and severity vary between individuals but most common is fever and coughing. Very similar to cold and flu symptoms.

To learn more please try googling this topic and look for reputable resources such as webmd or similar.


Thanks.

You made a guide homepage in the post I answerded to, which repeatedly mentions "if you have these symptoms". But the symptoms are not mentioned in the guide.

I think for a proper guide you should absolutely list the symptoms of corona virus at the introduction.

I searched in search engines. As far as I could find the corona virus symptoms are similar to pneumonia. The main symptoms are fever, cough and pain in the lungs.

This is not similar to flu symptoms which do not necessarily spread to the lungs.


I thought this was going to be a tech blog on how he hooked up his email address to Messenger


That horizontal scroll web page was the most jarring thing my brain has done in a while.


The macbook pro 2018 keyboard makes me want to cry. My fingers don't flow the rate my brain does anymore :(


the fact that this article got upvoted so much probably also explains why there are always paper towels available and a waste basket near every restroom door in the bay area right?

I literally possess binary memory when it comes to "what is clean" and "what isn't clean (touched the floor, public restroom, etc)" for most of my things. Also used to have "San francisco shoes" and "South bay shoes"


>I literally possess binary memory when it comes to "what is clean" and "what isn't clean (touched the floor, public restroom, etc)" for most of my things.

after working in tissue culture where sterility matters (to put it lightly) i have developed a similar mentality. in the lab, it teaches you to be overly careful with things because a lot of the time you have to throw them out if they get dirty, and often the bar for "being dirty" can be as low as "was exposed to air while uncovered". it causes a lot of very wasteful carryovers into real life.


They own a dyson fan and a projector in the picture, and possibly more expensive gadgets off-screen. It's just sad that when people are not willing to work hard enough through school and end up in shitty jobs that pay less -- then complaining about the undesirable outcome. Suck it up and take an online coding class or something. Time to build some cafeteria robots so they will at least complain on someone else's turf.


The vast majority of people isn't able to learn to code (or not well enough anyway).


School is an expensive endeavor, you'd have to shell out thousands of dollars or go into debt for years just to get a respectable degree. Without the degree, most employers wouldn't give these people the time of the day.


zuckerberg never got (finished) his harvard degree. Plenty of success people never went to college, richard branson, henry ford, rockefeller, murdoch, etc.
