Same. GoFundMe?
> For example, the FDA is generally agreed to have dropped the ball by dragging its feet on approving covid tests. I don't think profit motive or regulatory capture explain that. What does?
I'm no fan of over-regulation, but the FDA finds itself in an impossible situation: approve tests quickly to slow the spread of Covid, only to later find that the tests don't work, or test the products rigorously, while patients suffer.
It's a very difficult balance to strike, and I would argue they've done as good a job as one could hope.
The people inside will absolutely receive a larger radiation dose. A thin metal shell does not block a large percentage of cosmic radiation.
It is an interesting market, for sure. The fact that these vendors are reluctant to upgrade tech stacks actually creates a bunch of opportunities. (Although we wish they'd just upgrade their Windows version:)
@brnt It's great to see someone else from radiotherapy on HN. I'd love to chat if you're down. Shoot me an email.
Random question about PaulGraham.com: I noticed that the header of his blog posts are always images; not text. e.g. "fierce-nerds-1.gif". Does anyone have any idea why he renders the title as an image? And do we think this happens programmatically? Or is he firing up ImageMagick every time he posts?

Yes. I was fortunate to be in YC W19. It was transformational for our company. Should I be fortunate enough to start another company, I would do it again, even though I now have access to the YC network of investors. I can't recommend it enough.
Well, 30% isn’t their margin. It’s their gross revenue. Calculating the margin would require knowing their hosting / development costs for the App Store ecosystem.
>I'd not suggest doing it on the fear of regret of not doing it
Second this. Don't start a company because you think it's "checking a box". It has to be something you can't imagine not doing, or else you're in for a world of hurt.
I'm the opposite of the person you're asking for, but I'll take a stab. I have the academic pedigree to have worked in a lucrative scientific / banking / management field, but instead chose to take an entrepreneurial path. I could likely have made more money (risk adjusted) on the other path, but am thankful on a DAILY BASIS that I'm a pirate, and didn't join the navy.
Had I not chosen the entrepreneurial path, I'm confident I'd be the person you're asking for: late in my career and regretting not starting a business.
Too late.

Could be that the $10M cap means that the share of their biggest customers' PPP loans were a smaller percentage of their customers' bank deposits.
Tl;dr: It looks like ~4.2% of Los Angeles residents may have already been affected.
Current stats from [https://covid-19.direct/county/CA/Los%20Angeles]: Confirmed cases: 12,349 Deaths: 601 Population: 4M Implied fatality rate: 4.87%
If this study is correct (~4.2% prevalence): Cases: 167,580 Deaths: 601 Implied fatality rate: 0.36%
There is massive difference between the appropriate response to an illness with a 5% fatality rate and an illness with a 0.36% fatality rate.
I meant that "the graph of active hospitalizations should be a bell curve with a maximum value of ~10,000 on ~4/20" with the current mitigations in place. That is not what the government report is projecting. They're projecting unbounded, exponential growth with current mitigations in place, even though that is not in line with the data we've seen over the past two weeks.
My point is that there is no extrapolation of the data we’ve seen to date that yields the blue line on their graph.
Fair. But the curves on the document referenced above are not epidemic curves. They’re unbounded exponential growth curves. My criticism of the report stands.
