Rather than dodge the idea, I'll say directly - John H. Cochrane is not making his argument in good faith. For the reasons I gave earlier, the quote is a known hot-button topic and cannot simply be used as an example without pushing that button. Either he's pushing that button deliberately (if so, why?) or he's ignorant of the issues.

Is your assertion that it's impossible for an anti-racist quote to be used to whitewash racism?

When someone says "Oh, I don't see color", does that mean they aren't racist? Or does that mean they aren't capable of seeing actual race-based discrimination, and so perpetuate the problem?

> But when reparations take the form of more institutional racism

Why do you, who argue for accepting an argument in good faith, jump immediately to reparations in the form of more institutional racism?

I never mentioned any such reparations. There are many forms of reparations. A U.S. Truth and Reconciliation Commission concerning America's legacy of white supremacy is part of the call for reparations, and that's not institutional racism.

Unless ... do you consider the reparations to Japanese-American held in US concentration camps to be institutional racism?

Do you think MLK's call for reparations was racist?

The WSJ article is really weirdly written. It definitely seems very biased.

They state things as facts like "Mr. McCormick, 54, had discussed jobs with the Trump administration. He also chatted with BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Laurence Fink about the possibility of leaving Bridgewater, according to this person and another close to the situation."

And yet, further on, it's completely refuted by both McCormick and Blackrock. "Mr. McCormick said the attempt to reduce his stake “did not happen and I did not make that comment.” He said he has a “terrific working and personal relationship” with Mr. Dalio. He also said “I never discussed a job at BlackRock.” A company spokesman added that Mr. McCormick “never discussed with Larry about leaving Bridgewater.”
Mr. Fink said in a statement that “while I think highly of David, and we’re close friends, we have not discussed the prospect of him working for BlackRock since he left Treasury a decade ago.” "

The article makes a bunch of assertions, making them sound real, and then they get massive denials from the actual parties involved, but bias the article towards the rumors.

As reported for decades, rural China has a problem with small-time farmers living in proximity with livestock, especially pigs. Thus you get the annual "swine flu" as genetically we're very similar, so can pass viruses back and forth and amplify them.

So if you want to understand this flu season, just google for past years, especially SARS. This corona virus appears to be an even more communicable analog to SARS, which nations struggled to contain last time.

GC is interesting, because often times the concept of a reference is a concept of identity, whereas a pointer is a concept of location in the heap. Things like reallocating GC that shuffle around location on the fly make this a bit easier since your references only pertain to identity, and the compression can be applied to estimating or validating the total number of identities won't exceed some maximum for a valid set of inputs to the program.
There was never anything wrong with PHP, really.

* If you wanted to scale it horizontally, it was ready to do that 15+ years ago

* No problem running it completely stateless

* Deploys are completely sane and predictable, it's just a bunch of files, and even when composer came along it didn't really change that too much

* Performant enough as far as the interpreted web languages go

* No problem writing a RESTful backend in it and fronting completely "modern" client facing tech on the top if you want

* Server side rendering since day 1

Like, it came down to people complaining about some function names / param orders as if it were the end of the world. I think a certain subset of people (shall we call them hipsters?) are just keen on finding new ground where they can rewrite the same boring things instead of working hard to improve the ecosystem of something existing.

I moved on from PHP aeons ago because it got this undeserved bad rap, but I still follow it and would welcome the chance to run it again.

Pedantically, Bush may have actually been correct: the levees failed by collapsing under the water load, whereas the concern was entirely on failing by being overtopped. In colloquial terms, people will use the term "breach" to refer to both failure modes, but these failure modes are actually quite different, and apparently the Army Corps of Engineers reserved "breach" to mean only the first one.

On the other hand, I'm not really willing to give Bush much credit here. The middle of a disaster is not the right time for pedantry.

That's exactly it -- when so-called "journalists" themselves are conflating rumours, innuendo, and gossip with "facts" and "truth", then of course they're killing their own credibility, and that of their publishing institution.

I don’t really understand why we should care about a fund or its managers.

> There is usually the not entirely trivial problem of knowing how to set up the antenna

Although efficient design is important, it's not always the case...

Once, as a kid I lost the antenna to a handheld (military band) radio and couldn't communicate with home base several km away. However, there was a fence nearby with broken wires. Problem solved, communication established. (Yes, I just plugged the one end of the broken fence wire into the antenna socket.)

I'm sure that my worldly and knowledgeable older self wouldn't have even tried it as a solution, assuming it wouldn't work.
Are you sure those are _fatal_ errors?
Yup. Certainly not giving a "you shoulda done X" response. But I remain skeptical that it really needs to come down to "and I was the only one who knew how to work the radio."
Unfortunately it was a global change. MGS2 released in the US first, Japan a few weeks later. I'm not sure if that played a roll in any way.

Time utility of money. A lot of those financing plans are interest-free and surprisingly straightforward, and add up to the actual retail value of the device over the time of the plan, not one penny more. These proliferated as years-long contracts became unpopular.

In the case of Verizon, signing up with such a plan also allows you to return and upgrade your phone after it's halfway paid off.

With phones getting more and more ridiculously expensive, there's little reason not to do this unless you'd rather be out $1000+ immediately when you have the option to be out $40/month for a couple years with no downsides instead.

Notwithstanding, something that recognizes these fixings is their source. They originate from the Congo, Ghana and different nations around the equator that contain special plants with concentrated and fundamental wellsprings of their fixings. The main thing the organization trusts is that the elements of these items are probably not going to cause an unfavorably susceptible response in the populace. It has been tried on in excess of a thousand willing members, and the items have been utilized by a great many individuals from that point forward with no negative reactions. At the point when it takes Grow Extra Inches, there are various impacts that individuals can have. The item comes in case structure and comes in 60 container bottles. You can get it and send it straightforwardly and attentively to your home or different post boxes so they can be effectively shipped. When you get the containers, you will take them consistently for 60 days and you will get various advantages.
IIRC (not a down and dirty systems guy, not familiar with parlance) AMD CPUs weren't speculatively executing transitions to lower rings, which was the crux of Meltdown (as opposed to Spectre).

The big thing with AMD from my outsiders' perspective was their gambit on chiplets, which improved yields at 7nm quite immensely and could be done by Intel at 10/5nm down the road.

In terms of money though the thing to look at is power consumption, which dominates mobile and server spaces. Zen2 is a marvel because of its efficiency, and should start to appear among the big purchasers for cloud services in the coming months.

Found that aside curious, as track changes in Word is a first class versioning implementation with word processing and editors savvy, just as Git is a first class versioning implementation that's code lines and commits savvy.

> I saw "relativistic gravitational force between neutrinos" and red flags went up.

They should. The source of gravity in relativity is not relativistic mass, as this paper appears to be claiming. It is the stress-energy tensor.

Also, the reference to "Newton's relativistic gravitational law" in the abstract looks bogus to me. There is no such thing. You can't just plug relativistic mass into Newton's gravitational law. Any GR textbook will discuss this.
Supposedly Propeller Arena on the Dreamcast was cancelled over the 9/11 attacks, though I suspect the game was already struggling or being killed for other reasons. There's a leak of the fairly-complete game and it's a hell of a lot of fun. My friends and I have burned a few evenings over the years on it. One of a handful of multiplayer games that we've loved and have no newer replacements for[1] so we have to bust out older consoles or emulation to play them.

[1] some others: Bushido Blade 2 (Playstation), Hunter Hunted (PC), Return Fire (Playstation), Blur (Playstation 3), kind of Perfect Dark (N64) which in many ways remains unmatched though of course there are many modern shooters; and then there are other games that do have modern sequels but we much prefer the older ones and they're rapidly getting harder to play because they're from early-ish 3D consoles and don't get re-releases so they won't compete with their own sequels (Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, for instance)

My employer, after some bad winter weather the last couple of years, has been hemming and hawing about a work from home policy. There's definitely a pervasive mindset that people are less productive at home which might have some truth for some roles at our company. At first it was a "use your judgement and talk to your team leader, but if your kids have off school, just take a sick day", then they started being more explicit about acceptable reasons. Then a few months ago they added a three day limit per year. But last month they removed the limit again and on our local social media there has been speculating/joking that it's prep for coronavirus.

"Another thing they got right was urban planning. Communist built residential areas had all amenities within walking distance."

Interestingly, what I noticed if you look at current high rise developments in Asia (China, Malaysia, Singapoure), they design something similiar (albeit commercial). The ground floors of the 20+ building will be a 2-3 floors of commercial space, hosting a shopping mall, cinema, gym and a bunch of other places. You can go down and do your grocery shopping in pyjamas.

If that could include mandatory social places (school, kindergarden), you'd end up with similar zones like what you are describing.

> The way I see it, the main problem that UBI is solving is inequality, it's a rich to poor transfer.

The main problem UBI is solving is expensive duplication of function between status quo means tested social safety net programs and the tax system. A secondary problem that it can solve if benefits are tied to revenues and the right dedicated revenue stream is chosen has to do with calibration of benefits in status quo safety net programs.

> At this time, the amount of UBI should be below what allows a comfortable life, because it would lead to a feedback loop in which people would be increasingly demotivated to work.

As long as you don't automatically tie UBI to inflation this is self limiting since excessive demotivation causes critical labor shortages driving both wages and final goods prices up which (1) lowers the quality of life which can be maintained on UBI so it isn't as comfortable as the nominal benefit would seem to provide, and (2) raises the marginal benefit from chosing to work, both of which serve to negate demotivation.
