No it is exactly how the issue should be characterized. Besides, it is a false dichotomy. There will be an economic collapse either way.

Is it right for Piketty to assert that the Democratic Party was a homogeneous whole in the 60's? What exactly was Daley doing at Chicago in 1968 in the interests of social democracy? You may as well claim that the Democrats transitioned from the party of the South due to unforeseen Goldwater-shaped factors.

Ah, here's some new ugly stuff by Reddit.
In Norway if one has a copper phone line into house, then the speed is typically bound by 40 Mbit/s. And it is not just rural areas. The apartment I live in is close to the center of Oslo. But as it is an old building with few flats it is not profitable to lay down the fiber even if it is just extra 10 meters from the near office building. With 4G with a good phone or modem one gets 50-300 MBit/s depending on the provider and coverage.
I always assume most are just oblivious, given the fact that the Democratic Party still tries to identify as a worker-first party. That’s rapidly changing with the rise of the modern progressive movement, DSA and the like.

Part of the problem is the two-party system, which essentially ensures that control remains between the Dems and GOP. This is why so many presidential elections wind up being contests of the least-worst option.

Depends on the chances and impact of getting a fake/faulty device, yeah? I've heard claims that most online marketplaces have rampant fakes, although you're 4 for 4 with good ones. On the other hand, the failure mode is data loss, which seems pretty bad. So personally I think your approach is a good idea.

In my mind what Perl brought to awk/sh was not flow control but rather data structures that did not make you want to kill yourself. Its standard library also delivered a lot of core sysadmin functionality back in the day and the reporting/output features fit very well with what was needed for early web CGI scripting.
But trends in suicide including economic causes are handled by epidemiology[1]

It is great that attention is now being paid to this subject. Although the overall suicide rate has continued to _rise_ in spite of 11 years of a rising DOW, the suicide rate among those approaching retirement has risen significantly in the last decades. From past trends we know this is directly related to social security[2]. I sincerely hope the attention continues and solutions are pursued and deeply hope that, as some think, it is not a cynical ploy.

Likewise, I hope the sudden concern for food security among the vulnerable poor continues.

You seem to believe that "skin in the game" guarantees the survival of the fittest leaders. This is only true assuming that the selection criteria are good ones and ones that cannot be cheated.

As long as anyone is capable of gaming their numbers, it floods out honest people in favor of cheaters. It's very powerful at selecting for whatever your metrics are. When you have the wrong metrics or ones that can be cheated, it's very powerful in an extremely bad way.

In addition, the general public and the media are absolutely not good at this, or we would have far better leaders than we do.
Sure but your “easy” words are useless in most sentences. Think of all the words not in this sentence!
I'm sorry to put it so crudely, but this is a legitimate difference between the first and third world. And, clearly, it has consequences for the rest of the world. I don't understand why this is so controversial - we send aid to countries comperable in size to regions of impoverished mainland China. Only about half of China has modernized in the last ≈50 years and it's infuriating that bringing this up is suddenly socially unacceptable. These are facts which underpin life and death decisions for millions of people - we cannot sweep them under a rug because they happen to be localized.
Looking through some of the comments, I want to add that Piketty talks much more clearly about these topics and makes better points than most consensus economists, pundits, etc, so I'm glad people are reading him rather than eg NYT columnists.

But I think people who find this sort of thing interesting would find marxism's analysis of the economy much more interesting and convincing. Start with Wage Labour And Capital then try either Value Price And Profit or Capital itself.

The alternative seems to be to let millions get sick en masse, potentially leading to similar shutdowns for longer time periods (i.e. failing to "flatten the curve").

So a problem I've hit with this, is that if you subscribe to the RSS feed of releases, it gives you all ...tagged versions, I think? It's not just release releases; you'll get notified for alpha/beta versions and versions that are tagged but not quite yet officially released. This makes it noisy enough to reduce the value quite a lot.
Can someone explain why Twitter's tech isn't better able to spot fakes which seem to follow obvious patterns? ProPublica was able to write a program to analyze the networks and patterns of behavior:

We found a pattern of coordinated activity among the fake accounts that appeared to be aimed at building momentum for particular storylines. Central accounts with more legitimate-looking histories such as Keegan’s would make eye-catching posts; for example, a political message accompanied by a bold graphic or a meme, or a provocative video. An army of obvious fake accounts would then engage the posts with likes, reposts and positive comments, presumably to boost their visibility in Twitter’s algorithms.

Why does it take an outside party to build the tech & point out the problem?

Twitter's response, FWIW:

“Using technology and human review in concert, we proactively monitor Twitter to identify attempts at platform manipulation and mitigate them."
Every time I read an article with FaceBook in the title I'm a little more glad that I stopped using the service a while ago. Stuck using Zoom for work, but I do use it on a semi-quarantined device so it shouldn't be able to tie it back to my old Facebook account or online activity on my desktop.

That might not be too far away - SpaceX does want to use their Starship to fly point-to-point across the globe. I suspect the noise, will make it infeasible for all but a few major destinations. They'd likely have to have a sea-based platform 20-30km away from the city, then use a floating tunnel with Tesla/BoringCo pods the rest of the way to actually get downtown.

Still, it would be pretty sweet. Go downtown, check in, take a 10 minute pod ride, get strapped into your seat (there's no washrooms, or moving around), blast off and 45 minutes later you're on the other side of the world, another 10 minute pod ride away from downtown.
A reasonable thing would be to consider "fair use" as any clip less than, say, 10 seconds.

> the chrt command is broken when built against musl-libc because that project's maintainer decided he didn't like the system calls it depends on, so he removed them¹ from his libc.

This software seems to be using Linux-specific functionality through the C library. Wouldn't it be better to use Linux system calls directly in that case?

I think it's weird how Linux has no user space library like the kernel DLLs found in Windows. Everyone assumes the C library is the interface to the kernel, even the Linux kernel manuals. Then people end up being burned when the C library maintainers quote POSIX standards at them or omit new system calls people want.

I wrote a liblinux² when I first realized this but it's currently unfinished. Eventually the kernel developers made an amazing nolibc.h file³ for their own tools but it doesn't seem to be used outside the kernel itself. Wish they'd publish it as an official Linux system call library!

Turning windscreen wiper motors into emergency ventilators
This is really cool work, very exciting to see if published in paper form (I saw your talk about some of this last year)!

I had a question about your completeness argument (in 4.3.1), you say "we typically observe enough of a history to detect the presence of non-cycle anomalies". I think I understood why that is after reading the rest of the paper, but I didn't understand the worst case. Is it possible, for example, for a database to intentionally construct incorrect histories that Elle doesn't detect?

I don't have any real "evil database" threat model in mind, just trying to test my understanding.
> Besides, it is a false dichotomy. There will be an economic collapse either way.

In what way is the fact that there will be two different levels of economic costs in two scenarios a 'false dichotomy'?

Edit: I think this is worth clarifying. I may misunderstand you, but it looks like there are two errors in your post. The first is treating differing scenarios with differing outcomes as if they were the same, simply because they have some facet in common.

The second is a mis-use of the term 'false dichotomy'. If you believe that a choice between two options will have the same outcome, that is not a false dichotomy. A false dichotomy is a logical fallacy, a special case of the fallacy of exhaustive hypothesis. Here, one wrongly assumes that there are only two possible choices and uses this assumption to arrive at some seemingly logically derived conclusion.

My apologies if I've misunderstood your intended meaning from your short post.
So far, if the 3rd bill makes it into law, we will be at well over 2 trillion dollars trying to keep the economy from imploding. Many say that it won't be enough and we will be looking at more bills and A LOT more spending. Yearly military expenditures are at 700 billion a year.
You spelled pragmatist wrong.
Maybe. If most are mild, how did they ever become confirmed cases? I would assume that mild cases would never get tested.
If you don’t have an iOS app then I don’t see how you can say “all operating systems” with a straight face.
A lot of things come with heavy costs - the US military is funded billions upon billions year after year for a threat that may never come. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan probably at this point are more costly than the bailout we are giving to the economy.

In fact, most of the hard problems the world faces will require investments that take longer than 10 years to return on.

The economy is important - but maybe our economy needs to be a little less growth oriented and a little more resilient.

Paper this article is based on abstract:

Development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density has
brought a promising future for the next generation of electric vehicles (EV).
In order to make EVs more competitive with combustion engine vehicles,
development of an effective fast charging technique is inevitable. However,
improper employment of fast charging can damage the battery and bring safety
hazards. Herein, industry based along with our proposed internal resistance
(IR) based fast charging techniques were performed on commercial Panasonic
NCR 18650B cylindrical batteries. To further investigate the fast charging
impact and electrode degradation mechanisms, electrochemical analysis and
material characterization techniques including EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy), GITT (galvanostatic intermittent titration technique),
SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and XRD (X-ray diffraction) were
implemented. Batteries that were cycled under industry based fast charging
showed 78% increase in internal resistance after 120 cycles along with rapid
capacity fading. Mechanical distortion of the battery case occurred around the
60th cycle for industry based fast charging. In contrast, IR based fast charged
batteries showed 29.4% increase in internal resistance over 120 cycles. In addition, mechanical distortion was not observed and the relative capacity fading
was on a moderate level. Furthermore, this work could pave the way for the
optimization of fast charging techniques to secure the lifespan and safety of
various types of lithium-ion batteries.
perhaps having better social safety nets like 90% of the developed world would be better, no?
Well everything that imports the Facebook SDK or allows sign in with Facebook does this so as long as an app has that blue button on the screen, you shouldn't be surprised that it will phone home to Facebook once the app is opened and initialised.

If you're trying to bring a new drive to market (and even for many capacities, they get refreshed regularly if only to cut platters or find new ways to cut costs), and your firmware isn't ready for prime time as an internal drive, you can still ship it as an external drive earlier because you have a good idea of how the controller is going to treat the drive. Not only do the external drives tend to be the end of the waterfall in terms of quality, manufacturers also may ship with firmware problems that would be a stop ship if it was packaged for nearline or desktop.

Ava: Deep Date for a Safe World
I think part of the problem is that these sorts of anecdotes have been reported in previous bad flu years. That's perhaps a part of why people think it's just a bad flu. You can easily find reports (see above) where doctors describe their hospitals as "like the third world", needing tent wards, like war time, overloaded, people on beds in corridors etc from prior years. They sounded like a disaster had struck at the time too, because the media highlights the most dramatic anecdotes.

A bit like audio compression - if everything is compressed to the same volume then it gets really hard to tell how loud things are relative to each other.

Another problem is people encounter stories where there are anecdotes in the other direction e.g. today I read stories about Ticino, Japan, Germany where hospitals are waiting for an influx, but it doesn't seem to be growing in the expected way. Why? Unclear. These stories of course get less attention.
