An article I read somewhere was suggesting that doctors should have tried using traditional antibiotics to treat patients instead of intubating them. This of course is strictly anecdotal.
Using traditional antibiotics against a virus is not particularly likely to help. Traditional antivirals are in a number of studies currently.
By my non-expert estimate, remdesivir seems to be the most likely candidate. It's not approved for use in the US yet, but is well on the path: https://www.drugs.com/history/remdesivir.html
That's odd since coronavirus is a virus, not a bacteria, so I wouldn't expect antibiotics to be relevant except insofar as they would suppress opportunistic infections.
Maybe he should set his sites lower and get some work done to fix Amazon Fresh. I have tried to order something everyday since Mar 12 and no time slots have been available.
I hear the same thing is happening with all grocery deliveries (at leat in the UK), Amazon Fresh isn't special in that regard. You probably know current times are rather exceptional.
I'm willing to give Amazon a pass on this one for the moment. I haven't been able to use any grocery delivery services in weeks. If there are time slots available they are getting filled pretty much immediately when they open up, and I've not been lucky enough to catch it.
Lately I've been paying more attention to alternative CLI tooling, extensions, etc. Our open source community uses git-flow-avh for example and it has been extremely helpful. I can't wait to try this out.
A very misleading title to this article but a couple of great reminders. One thing that is somewhat missing is to always remind yourself to remove blockers of any kind for users. The easier it is to use your product, the better experience users will have.
I’m a social capitalist. IMO, it seldom happens that the free market does not punish companies who make serious errors. For those times, logic, common sense & societal regulation should step in, punish the company with fines ratcheting up until free market clearly loses confidence.
With this kind of publicity I don't see how can Boeing can possibly not punished by the market itself. Even before 737 Max fleet was grounded, I already started hearing, from a lot of different people, that they wouldn't fly on that plane.
I wonder if the SEC will disclose the persons that end up receiving compensation for the $40M to be distributed amongst "harmed" investors? My hope is that sophisticated investors are excluded from the compensated group as they know how to manage and leverage risk where as the retail investor does not. The retail investor is the one who would have been harmed in this instance.
As a product person. I personally feel if the designer should know how to code so they can skip this tools process. It seems to add more unnecessary complexity to the design process for those designers who know how to code and understand how to fix issues as they arise.
I understand the temptation to “just use code”, but I’ve experienced this going wrong at even small team scales:
- Our programming languages just don’t give us an efficient abstraction to think about user flow. This tool shows in one diagram what it might take 10 React component files to capture in production.
- This would make hiring good designers near impossible for most teams, or at least shift the hiring criteria away from user experience and craft into code ability (which means your design will be bad).
- Putting designers in production code is a waste of time because they then have to “own” the parts of engineering that aren’t code too (style, test coverage, deployment, interrupting design to fix bugs they created a year ago, etc).
- Even if you hired a great designer for cheap who could see all this logic easily on your web app, for ex, this kind of logic often need to be spec’d for multiple products/platforms simultaneously.
- For medium and large companies with complex logic (many companies), a spec of how the app works is used beyond product teams that need answers in a document fast. For ex, by support teams who are trying to figure out if behavior a user is seeing is a bug or part of the design so they can file a ticket correctly.
