Ah fair enough. Yea id agree they're underpaid.
Hopefully if any good comes from this the govn and people will realise those in the medical industry need a pay bump

I read that in my head in a very camp German accent.
kampf surely?
I havent seen the video but does it mention the military at all?
Yes mate. He claims the military have been mobilised.
I see the Universal Basic Income is been suggested as way forward in the Uk during this, it would certainly give reassurance to alot of people, and keep things propped up short term.
What's the deal with Italy's stats? Apparently the fatality rates have soared again.
Interesting.
Sorry for all the questions.. but:
How would they know you aren't just saying your going for groceries or generally lying about what you're doing though? Also, have they specified what physical activities are allowed? Golf can be quite isolating...
Report from Italian hospital 9 mins 22 seconds in. Pretty grim.
Not just the English then:
No particular deal, you need to pay attention to the critical cases figures and keep in mind that most of these people are among the people with higher chances of death. Currently Italy has 2257 critical cases, a large amount are going to die.
Aye, always will be people like that and it's not an age issue either as there are plenty from all generations that think this way.
There is actually some junk in top venues, but most are fine (but hardly advance the field), and a tiny minority which are awesome. In venues with binary choices (accept/reject) like conferences in CS (conferences in CS are more important than journals and have a lengthy double-blinded review process, similar to journals in other fields), the bulk of the papers are in the category of okay, and with the review process very random http://blog.mrtz.org/2014/12/15/the-nips-experiment.htmlI appreciate all of that, its just that your original post may be interpreted as peer reviewed papers aren't that great, when really I think the message should be anything in a well respected journal is usually fine.
I have seen papers getting orals in top conferences (acceptance rate of orals is typically 1-2%) being absolute junk, there are papers who get rejected to later get a best paper award and so on.
Peer-review is better than no review, but in the end, it is hardly fault-proof (or anywhere near that).
I presume by CS you mean computer science? In my field most conferences are rubbish but one or two are very good. Most of the well respected journals also have very good papers, its rare to find anything rubbish. Not much is groundbreaking though, but its the nature of the field.
I hope our network providers can support the surge in home internet use, particularly with the kids now going to be at home too...
Yep, CS is quite different. For historical reasons, the science in that field has been published mostly in conferences, and in AI related field almost exclusively in conferences (especially in the last 5 years). Top conferences have an acceptance rate of around 20% (for orals it is 1-2%), the review is double-blinded (with 3-5 reviewers), it consists of a rebuttal/revision scheme, and the entire process from submission to proceeding lasts in average 7-8 months (which ironically, can be slower than in top journals). So, while in other fields the conferences are kind of joke (send preliminary work or extended abstracts) in CS they are the most important (and top quality) venues.
In any case, I think my point was more for peer-review in general. At the end, it is a very random process, which to some degree depends on the mood of the reviewer who spends a few hours on that paper. Not bullet-proof, not close. Still better than no review though.
Florida have two things in abundance, spring breakers and old people. A recipe for a disaster.
What's with stupid people and tautologies? From a one minute video:
If I get corona, I get corona.
Whatever happens, happens.
We're just gonna do what happens, when it happens (?)
When stuff closes, we're just gonna do it when it closes. (uh huh?)
I don't even know what the last two mean (what a mind on that guy).
grim.
I’m not belittling or generalising your profession; so whether you go to work on Monday or not doesn’t concern me.
Teaching is a difficult job. In isolation, that isn’t an unreasonable remark. It can also be a brilliant job, something I’ve sat and reflected on over the past week or so.
In addition, I’m not sure why you had a problem with teachers being described as ‘key workers’? I know lots of teaching couples that have children. Their children need safe provision while they go to work to teach and support local communities.
Worth pointing out that despite it being removed, it was reinstated because of the amount of customers wanting to donate.
Near our house is a gate leading to a park, which people walk through to get to the nearest Aldi.
Got WhatsApp messages today saying that there were 2 teenage girls blocking the gate in such a way that people had to squeeze past them. When people did squeeze past the girls deliberately coughed in peoples faces. Scumbags! Wtf is wrong with people??

If I remember correctly the first YOLO paper was rejected for publication which struck me as a bit odd.
My VM connection has been playing up the last few days
Couldn't that be classed as attempted murder?
Don’t know, guess it would be hard to prove that you got infected specifically from them
Can't imagine they'll be doing that for too long before going home with broken noses.
They cleared off when they realized someone was trying to get a picture of them
Cough right back in their faces and say “jokes on you I’ve actually got the virus”.
I think I’d break the golden rule of thumping a girl
May be useful to do some downloads over the night and stock up on some programmes/books for the next day/week.
So. Have they exposed a recovered patient to the virus yet, to see if he developed immunity? I still see this being regurgitated, almost as fact, but I'm yet to see any real data from a reliable source that confirms or shed light on it. Any links or updates on this?
That would be a golden blunder and you don't want that.
Probably. I think that the second version of SIFT was rejected several times too, but that was a long time ago. GAN paper was barely published (had a reject from Schmidhuber), and in general nowadays the majority of papers who get accepted get accepted in second/third attempt (effectively making the reviewing process 1year+, which is close to that of journals in other fields).
Same happens for Nature/Science (other fields). With the review process not being double-blinded, there are cases when a paper gets rejected, to only add a big name author, resubmit it and get accepted. So, it is a very imperfect process.
No I know but if they did that to my wife or kids I wouldn’t be able to hold back
It would actually be sexist not to do it in that circumstance.
On the one hand I look at these hoarders and breakers and am utterly disgusted by the callous self serving nature of them. On the other hand it's no secret that we live in Tory/Trump land so it's sort of ingrained, to be outraged is to be not really paying attention.
I probably shouldn't, but:
FAO techno-thriller loving dabbling conspiracy theorists
(the virus shipped to the Canadian lab is not covid19; it's almost certainly MERS)
At the end of the day, he's a tech-head; judging from his other answers, it seems he's a proponent of the higher-tech aggressive testing and 45 day-ish peaking and immediate rebound detection going on in the Asian countries. AKA don't fatalistically assume broad scale infection; see if you can't stamp it out and then block the borders.
