As a side note - and JFYI - Italy's situation is very nuanced, as you can see on this map (divided by region):

http://opendatadpc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

In the North (and particularly in Lombardy) the situation is dramatic, in the center and in the south it is not (yet) that bad.

Basically the lock-down (started on national level on the 10 th of March) seemingly - and for the moment - managed to work to reduce the spread of the infection in other regions.

The previous lock-down (limited to some cities/provinces of the north) was only a couple days before and evidently too late to be effective.

Yes the whole supply chain is somewhat having a bumpy time, it will get there in the end.

But had a quick look from the UK and plenty here for next day delivery.

So technically they are available in the EU, just a slowly transitioning supply due to logistical human malware factors comming into play.

Poverty and homelessness will not be solved by throwing money around. It only can be solved if society is willing to understand some people need to be told what to do each step of their lives. It will only be solved if people realize that we will actually have to build housing and make people live there. It will only be solved when people realize that once you get them housed you may need to insure their dietary needs are properly met which means someone else choosing what food is provided. Then after the basics of housing, food, and health, are taking care off, then you can just hand them money to do with as they need. The real bugaboo is when someone realizes that China's one child rule may have been too utopian in a future world, as in assistance may come with restrictions on even starting a family or curtailing family size.

All UBI programs tested or suggested really are nothing more than allowances and cannot solve the problem. The problem is not cheap nor universal. The universal part should be, you cannot fall below this threshold, not that everyone gets the same benefits. That is only being done to sell it when people should just be told, some people need no help currently. It will be there should they need it but right now they don't.

We have many of our problems for two reasons, governments which do not respect the property rights and personal rights of their citizenry and also that there are just people in this world who cannot operate on their own.
Funnily enough, Australia employs more barristas than coal miners, but the coal mining sector gets more government subsidies than the latte industry.

And of course you’re good with that because you’re a communist and communism is an extended apology for organized crime.

What is “an affordable price”? Who determines this? You? The attraction of communism is that every communist thinks they are the one philosopher-prince who will arrange everything just right yet it never works that way.

I submit to you the free market as dumb and blind and imperfectly realized as it is, is the best embodiment of what “society” actually wants. It is ironically, the closest we’ll get to the ideals of communism.

EDIT: I guess I can’t reply to @esarbe because this comment has been downvoted but for the record, I described @esarbe’ ideas as communism because that’s what they are. Yes communism is objectively evil. It has been responsible for the deaths of millions and the misery of millions more. The free market isn’t perfect — no political philosophy is — but comparatively it is light years ahead of its rivals.
Having been on Reddit since before it had comments or subreddits, I can assure you that the bias i r/politics is the because of the userbase rather than the moderation.
Both the journalist suggest that the airline execs should have done something different with the FCF without stating what (dividends? salaries? investments?) and why.

From your tone and reply it seems you agree, so maybe you can clarify this. What else should they have done with their FCF? Would everything be OK if they paid everything in dividends like utilities? Plow everything into investments like Amazon? Into what? Buying all their airplanes, rather than leasing airplanes? Stashing everything in a huge pot of treasuries like Apple? Giving their crew and support staff big raises?
Patronizing and counter productive is giving people money for nothing. It's telling people that they're useless.

I would disagree that a person "use" is defined solely by the type of job they have.
Money is returned to shareholders as buyback or dividend and shareholders can capitalize company in times of need (or when they see an opportunity for expansion or market takeover).

This is more effective, quicker and cheaper way of capital alocation. It also eliminates political agenda.
"Stealing" is taking something from someone. This is not stealing because you are not taking anything from anyone.

You could called it "unlicensed copying" if you want, that's legally sound.
The big players in this space aren't just trying to provide a tool that designers use to create artboards. The big thing is having a compelling story to bring in the other stakeholders, like Product Management and Engineering to participate in the digital product design and handoff. Yes, developers inspecting elements and their attributes is cool, but that's also barely scratching the surface.

Think about integrating a Design System, a developer framework (React, Vue,) creating simulations/prototyping directly with the artboards (like click this button and see it navigate to this other screen).

On top of all that there's cloud access and management for all these designs, and collaborative editing.

All I'm saying is that the big players aren't just trying to build a piece of boxed software. They're going for platforms and a connected suite of services. It's hard to have all that as open source.
If you think your stock is going to beat the market then share buybacks are similar to putting money away for a rainy fay. If you don't think your stock is going to beat the market then close the business.

Hi!

Thank you for taking the time to read our post.
I'm happy to invite you to visit our site. In the news section, you can see the latest updates from truthful & official sources (and it's free!). We decided to include a paid SMS service to bear infrastructure & development costs. However, if you are interested in using it but you can't afford it, we are more than happy to send you a refund! :)

Let us know if you have any other comments or questions and we would be more than happy to help you.
I wonder if LMDB [1] would be a good storage backend for this.

No shit I will. But I happen to be loaded and the cast majority of people are not.

It's the people without money to deploy, the people who depend on fixed income (elderly, retired) and the people who had all their money in some index fund or mutual fund (your average Joe) that get screwed.

It's not yet clear to me if there's a difference between what Rutte proposed and the 'flatten the curve' strategy. Isn't it the same thing by a different name?

If that's the case then they're aiming for something better controlled than in the UK, where they seem to still be in denial.
If it's not on Netflix or any streaming provider, I have no choice but to pirate it. Plain and simple. Most media content is still outside the main providers.
For me the argument is and has basically always been availability.

I don't live in the United States and if I want to watch say Westworld, even though it's airing on the national broadcaster for free, it only does so in French, which I don't understand. There's nowhere I can legally watch the English version so my only option is piracy.

In other cases it's because the market is fragmented. Were I still living in the US, I'd happily pay $20/mo for a Netflix subscription (and do) but I wouldn't pay $10/m for each of Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO for American stuff plus another $10/mo for each anime streaming service that has an exclusive.
Are you kidding me? We literally dump our mental health patients on the streets. [1]

The mental gymnastics people go through to justify homelessness and poverty is sickening.

Their argument is that some employees will piss in bottles no matter what you pay them. Don't fall into the trap of arguing that they'd stop pissing in bottles at 100/hr
I believe you haven't worked with homeless people much, but the problem with homeless is NOT poverty. People that have the tendency be homeless are people that don't find their place in society, the lack of order actually brings them relief.

Hard problem to solve and it wouldn't be fixed by universal income. We tried convincing homeless people to go into shelters or to at least care a bit for themselves ( free self catered infrastructure like showers ). Best solution so far is a social one where people help them find a new sense of achievement and a place in society. Drugs is also a big problem and probably where all the money from universal income would go to.
Recently I torrented this nice little piece of art: https://www.discogs.com/Django-Reinhardt-Djangologie-1928-19.... Now, good luck finding where to buy it =). (I did try)

Spotify doesn't have even half of my collection of Johnny Horton (which I torrented as well).

Also, I'm afraid of censorship. Some of the early 20th century county singers we throwing n-words left right and center and you won't find them on Spotify. Same for Apple Music. With Apple Music it even worse. Music disappears from the library _suddenly_. Just because same shady firm has it's license expired in Australia. Internet is full of stories of people who were unable to re-download movies or music form iTunes because the right owner has deleted it from the store. No, no money back.

So the only place where I pay for music is Bandcamp, which lets you download the stuff you paid for, right here, right now in variety of formats including lossless.
Better ease of use: I'm in France, I don't know what service has what or for how much time. Most French services will tend to propose dubbed version only, or not let me remove subtitles if I don't need them. With torrents I get access to everything on one application, with the audio and subtitle settings I want. Also I have a shitty connection so if I want good quality streaming is no-no: so I download and watch once it's done and when I want.

Edit: and for the moral part, most Hollywood people preach for communism. So let them show the way.
Because they couldn’t spend more money to improve things, yep, you’re right.

You could be in hospital or you always pay cache not online, many people pay everything with money in hand in shops(that have such payment points) here in Romania, also if you have a smartphone I imagine attempting to setup accounts and try to pay online from the phone is a pain.
Should we pay people to dig ditches and then fill them just so that they're working? The relative gap between high skilled and unskilled labor will only increase. At some point, a large portion of society's labor will become worthless. What then?

Capitalism is about the accumulation and use of capital. It's amoral. It doesn't care about the unemployment rate, poverty rate, or health outcomes. It is just fine with child labor and seven day work weeks. It will offshore labor, hire contractors, and use money for buybacks before investment if the numbers make sense. Capitalism is not the answer here. Policy is. And that's fine. We can have both.

I'm a huge fan of swing manouche (jazz style developed during the '40s). I can't find albums in legal sources that I can instead find in Nicotine++ (a Linux version of the old Soulseek). What should I do? Accept that I won't find it?

I remember once writing to an Aussie record label asking for a copy of an old album of Brett Garsed. They told me I wouldn't find it here in Europe nor they had the means to send it to me. Should I just accept it? Once again, I could find it in Nicotine++.

I can't find many movies I like in original language in Netflix, HBO and Amazon, all services I have legal accounts for. Again, should I just accept I won't watch them knowing that I might find them in other channels?

I live in Spain, country where I pay a compensation copyright tax for every pen drive, computer, hard drive, TV set, etc, I purchase just in case I download something "illegally".

It turns out I'm lazy/I choose not to spend the required time and I accept not enjoying albums and movies I otherwise would.

Well, let me tell you I applaud Popcorn Time.
Can you explain why the other 2 billion living in the region, people mostly living in terrible conditions with very little healthcare as it compares to say Italy, aren’t all dead ? Why arent they having massive spikes in deaths? Even if they can’t be tested, why aren’t we seeing it?
True, I don't see why Intention and taskdb couldn't grow into enterprise, or groupware project management systems. Sometimes I'm even thinking about peer to peer exchange protocols for this kind of data (e.g. if your spouse or collaborator uses it too).

As others have pointed out, web browsers are developer tools. Just because other people also use them for other things doesn’t mean they’re not core to developer's workflows.

GIMP, Inkscape, and LibreOffice aren’t competitive with their commercial alternatives.

Which leaves Blender, which is the exception of a high quality open source tool that’s not for developers. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I think they’re two reasons it exists: 1. The comparable commercial tools are very expensive, e.g., thousands of dollars per year, versus a bit over a hundred a year for something like Photoshop. 2. Developers have a particular affinity to 3D modeling, e.g., it’s the biggest gatekeeper to various types of development like games programming and AR/VR.

But I agree 100% that Blender is a fascinating exception, and I’d love to hear more theories about what’s made it so successful.

Just a few points that I'd like to answer to this article:
- One of the primary concerns of Bison is the speed of the generated parsers. In the section about performance, they say that ALL is 135x faster than GLR. Digging into the original paper, we find that:
- 135x is from their best case against the worst GLR they could find
- they compare different tools, not different algorithms in the same tool
- the grammar they use is optimized for their tool
- the best GLR tool they're testing against isn't even running on the same OS
- moreover, they mention that the biggest chunk of their performance comes from the fact that they cache temporary results, so theoretically including a cache in a GLR parser could make it even faster.
- since there is no grammar analysis, we get back to the classic "static vs dynamic" language debate, where Bison tells you at build time if you have conflicts, and ANTLR relies on your good test coverage.
- They only have a passing mention of the fact that their grammar is strictly less powerful than GLR since they don't handle non-direct left recursion.
Where’s many places ? Let me guess you’ll say Italy and err Iran?

You know there’s like 200 other countries. Furthermore, there are 2 billion+ people living an hour or two away from China. Why aren’t they saying it’s end of days.

Please don’t just respond with a “simple they aren’t testing”.

You don’t need a test for a massive spike in deaths.
Lariam (Mefloquine) was the one I took in the 90s that had the psychological warnings attached. IIRC, Malarone is newer, and may not align with the OP's timeline.

Sweden has the same system. You can read more about it here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy

The collected money is in general handed out by Copyswede [1], but for music it's handled by STIM [2]. STIM also supposedly handles paying money to artists played for customers at the barber, and all these special cases, and music played on TV, and so on.

I don't know for sure, but I think that the money is divided based on official sales data, so the artists who sell most also gets most of the "cassette tax" as it is known, because it was introduced as an added tax on cassettes back in the 80s.

It is not popular with consumers, since you have to pay extra for blank CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, and hard drives even if you don't use them to copy music. The tax is not to cover loss of income due to piracy, I just learned from the Wikipedia page, but to enable private copying of music without having to buy extra copies from the producer. As I said, since you have to pay even if you use the CD as a Linux boot disc, it's not very popular with the public, but a lot of people don't even know about it.

1) Where will the money come from to buy the aircraft? Are you saying this with any sense of how long it will take to start a new airline like AA or Delta or whatever? Agency costs under a liquidation are absolutely massive.

2) Nobody is suggesting that protecting shareholders be a policy consideration, and that was true in '08 as well when the banks effectively went bankrupt (well, 90% of the way at least). The shareholders got wiped out when banks had to hand over 90% of their shares to the government in return for equity. When before you might have owned 10%, you then own 1%. That's the point of being a shareholder: you're last in line and take on that risk.

3. Instead, the concern is over the broader economic disruption of airlines suddenly no longer operating when other businesses rely on travellers: hotels, restaurants, stores, etc.

4. I get your point that it might be better to wipe the slate clean: iirc, some airlines are running software that's 40+ years old. Under normal circumstances, if that's a real problem, those airlines will have a disadvantage against newcomers, of which there are many. The difference here is when these businesses are failing not to an operational shortcoming, but something much larger.

You're talking about Chapter 11 liquidation as if it's nothing. There are massive agency costs there and assets stop operating until they can be sold. Chapter 9 is less disruptive (owners get wiped out, creditors own the business and the business finds new creditors to put in some money), and if there's a risk of wide-scale economic disruption, better still is something a little short of Ch. 9: a "bailout" where the government basically wipes out most of the equity and can put in some capital in return.
Moral panicking without fundamental knowledge doesn't mean anything. I hate to break it to you, but retail and medical supply chains doesn't have much overlap. Nurses and surgeons relying on scant mid-pandemic retail pharmacy supplies already indicates systemic failure and desperation. You're not going to solve any tragedies of the commons by lying to people or wagging your "think of the children" finger at people to push your misinformed agenda.
The American Prison system is the largest healthcare provider in the United States. 2 million people with mental illness are put in jails/prisons every year.
