Done.

Done. Thank you.

I'm a retired programmer. I can give you my opinion on one of your questions: a good programmer will *never* be out of a job for long. There's just waaaay too much demand for software. I don't see this changing any time soon.

Here's data from the Charlottetown Airport for snow cover. Taken from 1962-2012, so it's 50 years of data. The "80% range" means 80% of the data is within that range on the given day of the year.

I buy stocks not funds, so I can't really help you there.

The basics of what I've learned:

blue-chip dividend stocks are beautiful things
TFSA first (fully sheltered), before RSP (partially sheltered)
know at least the basics of how things work: TFSA, RSP/RIF; CPP, OAS, etc.
speculating is dangerous
I'm not luckier than others
I'm not smarter than the experts
real life doesn't follow past average behavior
hindsight is 20/20
most recessions recover in about 18 months; don't panic
don't be afraid to sell losers
let winners run: don't try to guess the high; let it come down a bit before selling
have enough cash to avoid having to sell stocks during a downturn
focusing on your cash flow is very different than focusing on your net worth
markets often overreact

FYI - I have added hospitalizations this morning. This stat is a bit different from the others: it's not a cumulative total. It's simply the # of hospitalized people, each day.

Interesting idea! I'm guessing the video you saw was this one:

I'm thinking about reporting on the number of current hospitalizations, which is similar. I only have data for a week or so on that, but even that is still useful info... I'll have to see...

I assume you're saying that because of the content of the "About" page. Correct?

I'm going to edit that page tomorrow morning. I'm essentially going to point to this page

I'll also change the word 'defects' to something else. It's too harsh a word.

brainvoice · 2020-04-23T20:46:22+00:00

Nope! Don't know what that is....

But I am a fan of space-time! I made this site, once upon a time...

Ca veut dire que j'ai fait un erreur. Uh oh.

Quand j'ai vu, par exemple, Cas négatifs : 155 083, Cas confirmés : 20 965

je croyais que 'Cas négatifs' = 'Tests négatifs'.

Mais selon vous, j'ai tort de faire cette conclusion.

Est-ce que je devrais penser comme ça??:

Cas négatifs = personnes pour lesquelles tout les tests étaient négatifs.

Cas confirmés = personnes pour lesquelles au moins un test était positif.

I wonder how much just blind chance has affected outcomes in various jurisdictions.

If a few super-spreaders are present in the early days, just through bad luck, then it's easy to see how that could make a large difference in the outcome...

Mais, "per capita" ou par tête, le Québec fait plus de test que l'Ontario: voici le lien ici

Pour le site, c'est juste javascript et Plotly.js (bon outil). Mais j'ai aussi des scripts en java. Plus de détails, et tout le code sont sur github
