If you're going to read Hazlitt, do us the favor of reading John Quiggin's recent followup "Economics in Two Lessons":

https://www.amazon.com/Economics-Two-Lessons-Markets-Badly-e...

"Since 1946, Henry Hazlitt’s bestselling Economics in One Lesson has popularized the belief that economics can be boiled down to one simple lesson: market prices represent the true cost of everything. But one-lesson economics tells only half the story. It can explain why markets often work so well, but it can’t explain why they often fail so badly—or what we should do when they stumble. As Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Samuelson quipped, “When someone preaches ‘Economics in one lesson,’ I advise: Go back for the second lesson.” In Economics in Two Lessons, John Quiggin teaches both lessons, offering a masterful introduction to the key ideas behind the successes—and failures—of free markets."

That's what I would do. Someone else that claims to be a radiology tech said you just need to wipe the machine down for SARS since it's spread by droplets and fluids.
It is likely that the early symptoms get ignored, as they are similar to a cold - except the nasal discharge and phlegm, which SARS-CoV-2 does not seem to cause.
(It gives dry cough instead of wet cough.)
Depending on what you mean by "self interest", it sounds like market forces are why people fall in love, nurture their children, volunteer at the hospice, listen to stories around the campfire, say their prayers at night, and brush their teeth before bed...
If it was simply an issue of just "more difficult", then it wouldn't be worth pointing out.

However, the words "significantly more challenging to manage" are straight from their documentation that I linked which I think makes it worth pointing out.

Whether or not it is too challenging is for each individual to decide for themselves.
> People are strange - the fact that there was a global pandemic coming at us was pretty obvious as of early march, but it was this weekend that everyone decided to panic? It's not as though this were a hurricane that just landed on us by surprise.

Human behavior doesn't make a lot of sense, but up until a few days ago, the media and the federal government in the US were completely downplaying the seriousness of Covid-19. Many of us who have been warning our close friends and family about this for weeks have been assumed to be paranoid or crazy, but actually we learned this week that the media and government were intentionally downplaying it.
"A Random Walk Down Wall St" by Malkiel
I race motorcycless and so have some experience with high horsepower small engines. My first thought is I wonder how high the compression is to get this HP with only 3 cylinders? With high compression, everything wears much faster and components like pistons, connecting rods, and bearings need to be replaced at regular intervals for the engine to remain reliable. Additionally frequent oil changes become necessary as the oil breaks down more quickly under these conditions and metal shavings from wear build up in the oil. Things like connecting rods become stressed and need to be replaced at regular intervals for the engine to remain reliable.

I’d imagine that the Konigsegg buyer probably doesn’t care about maintenance costs but they might be irritated at the service intervals.

I wonder how much maintenance that will be?

Increased community interaction and collaboration acts to increase the spread of the virus. China style isolation limits the spread and the virus will die out in each enclave and will not recur until a newly introduced viral carrier enters the group - as shown in China.

Makes sense to me. I was talking with a group of CTOs a couple years back. One of mentioned that they had things set up that any machine more than 30 days old was automatically murdered, and others chimed in with similar takes.

It seemed like a fine idea to me. The best way to be sure that everything can be rebuilt is to regularly rebuild everything. It also solves some security problems, simplifies maintenance, and allows people to be braver around updates.
Do you have evidence that someone has bought 10,000 masks from every hardware store in a state? Otherwise you're arguing from fiction.
If Graeber's Debt didn't help you build understanding, then I'd respectfully suggest that you weren't trying to build a deep enough understanding.

Debt (the book) is not about our contemporary system (much) - it's an incredible work about the most basic elements of "financial systems" and how debt has shaped our cultures, economies and political systems over thousands of years.

Put differently, perhaps, it's a book about things the lie beneath what is covered in all the books you've mentioned.
I promise that you don't have Koenigseggs racing up and down your block.

The subjects of this story, Matt Colvin and Noah Colvin, spent days driving from store to store, buying up all of the antiseptic supplies the stores had. Then they ordered pallets more online wherever they could. Everywhere they bought, they tried to completely clean out the supplier's stock.

Then of course they started selling their hoard online for multiples of their purchase price.

I don't say this lightly: Fuck these assholes. If this article is accurate, then these guys are true pieces of human shit. Amazon and Ebay should be applauded for shutting them down.

Some rise in prices is natural and expected; the only alternative is enforced rationing. But what these guys do is different; they're trying to create privation and desperation in the market so they can profit from it.

It's difficult -- maybe impossible -- to make this activity illegal in a way that doesn't critically threaten the legitimate free market, and that's an important aspect of the evil that these people do.
Because the bike industry is currently switching over from rim brakes to disc brakes, you can get some pretty good deals on older (but still brand new) road bikes if you look around. A few months ago I bought a carbon road bike for less than $1,500 including tax. Granted expect to spend at least as much on accessories, but if you live somewhere where you can use it for both commuting and exercise then it still pays for itself pretty quick.

I'm pretty happy about this too. I briefly felt somewhat hopeless that our political leaders are so focused on scoring points over petty bullshit that they might not be able to work together on something critical like this. It's not like we need or even want them to act like they agree with each other or are friends or something else, we just need them to use their power to help make the situation not-as-bad as it could be.

And I also wish it didn't take an imminent crisis for this to happen.

Got to put in a plug for a book my mother read shortly before she died last year. The author is insanely smart, the book is really good, the message is incredibly important:

https://marianamazzucato.com/publications/books/value-of-eve...

Blurb:

"Modern economies reward activities that extract value rather than create it. This must change to insure a capitalism that works for us all.

In this scathing indictment of our current global financial system, The Value of Everything rigorously scrutinizes the way in which economic value has been determined and reveals how the difference between value creation and value extraction has become increasingly blurry. Mariana Mazzucato argues that this blurriness allowed certain actors in the economy to portray themselves as value creators, while in reality they were just moving existing value around or, even worse, destroying it.

The book uses case studies–from Silicon Valley to the financial sector to big pharma–to show how the foggy notions of value create confusion between rents and profits, a difference that distorts the measurements of growth and GDP. "

I've definitely noticed a decline in the number of people on the streets of Manhattan and riding the subway. It's been a breath of fresh air. It's easier than usual to get a seat on the train, so I've been taking full advantage of the opportunity.

I haven't really noticed a change in the number of cyclists, but the weather has gotten much better recently so it makes sense that people are biking again. It might be the virus, but it's probably just the good weather (correlation != causation).
I’m confused. Did you not read my comment? I specifically addressed how they’re not two separate problems.

The thing is, once people are hoarding for any reason, profit or not, and that leads to signs of potential supply problems, everyone else has a strong incentive to stock up defensively, not for profit or defense against the original disaster, but to prevent being adversely effected by the supply shortages caused by hoarding. Which then creates a positive feedback loop of incentives unless external controls (rationing) are imposed.
I disagree.

In TFA, there's the argument that human invasion of more and more wildlife habitat has increased the risk for zoonosis:

> Yes. EcoHealth Alliance, an NGO, and others, looked at all reported outbreaks since 1940. They came to a fairly solid conclusion that we’re looking at an elevation of spillover events two to three times more than what we saw 40 years earlier. That continues to increase, driven by the huge increase in the human population and our expansion into wildlife areas. The single biggest predictor of spillover events is land-use change—more land going to agriculture and more specifically to livestock production.

And about meat, there are two issues. One is about impacts of livestock production, and the other is about wildlife consumption.

> This is a flexible-fuel engine optimized to burn alcohol—ethanol, butanol, or methanol, or any combination thereof. Alcohol fuels are great for performance, but Koenigsegg says their use is also a key part of making the TFG clean, since they generate fewer harmful particulates than gasoline. And with sustainably-sourced fuel, the TFG can be effectively carbon-neutral.
I am not discussing whatever reasons you envisioned for unionization of our industry from the outside. I am just noting where the unionization effort is actually coming from. Pardon my cynicism, but I don't believe the big union care about anything other than payment, which drives their fees. Otherwise, as I said, they would had been pushing in retail with, at least, same effort as they do in the games industry.

Ask HN: Is UK government insane or genius?
While virtually all countries adopt the lockdown strategy to eliminate the virus spread, UK is apparently going on with 'herd immunity' strategy. It's pretty well explained in this tweet:
https://twitter.com/iandonald_psych/status/12385183716516495...

Basically, the idea is to get the young infected, as the virus seems to be relatively inoffensive for young people, and thus becoming immune. Once the country reach a threshold percentage of immune population, the virus cannot spread effectively anymore, hence protecting the vulnerable ones.

My gut feeling is that this is the rational thing to do, however only in theory. In practice, people won't be disciplined about isolating vulnerable ones in the first phase, thus leading to disaster.

It necessitates that all of those families buy twice as much this month so that they're prepared to spend a few weeks staying home starting the day before they would have gone shopping again. It also necessitates that I (a single person living alone who normally goes grocery shopping every other day or so) buy way more than I ordinarily would. Most people are not out there buying truckloads of TP. Everyone buying twice as much TP (and everything else) as usual is more than enough to create shortages.

Not really. It doesn't take a fucking rocket scientist to understand that a fall at 70mph on a bike is probably fatal versus a car crash at 70mph with steel and airbags wrapped all around.

First, reasonable people do disagree about what free markets are, and many people do believe that free markets are by definition not regulated by anything but market forces.

Second, regulated markets are not an indicator of socialism, per se. It's entirely possible for regulated capitalism to exist, it's just debatable whether such markets can be called free.

Third, there is still no accepted definition of free market capitalism which makes your former comment true. Regulation is still the primary factor responsible for water and food quality.
Okay I think we agree with each other then. I was still considering the context of this particular comment thread, which was just a backcountry hiker who had a 75 lbs pack. Unless he has special gear with him, 75 lbs is crazy.
