> I gave half a dozen concrete examples of the ways American citizens have had their rights infringed upon.

Yeah, but none of the examples you gave are new since ww2. At most, some of them have new names. Your examples don't speak to the question of whether people are more free, politically and otherwise, today in the US than they used to be. The answer to that question is plainly "yes," especially when you take into account the plight of minorities before civil rights movement. But even white people are more free today than we were before ww2.

For whatever it's worth - after the "Great Recession" of 2008-2009, I graduated university with a 3.7 GPA and couldn't find a job... at all. Granted, I was in a small market and wanted to stay there but nobody wanted to hire me for any full-time job I applied for.

Finally, I found something for the city doing data entry. The salary was poverty-line level. I drove down the morning it was supposed to begin, but the door was locked. I got home and checked my voicemail - they canceled the position.

I had a decent business idea or two, and ended up becoming an entrepreneur out of just frustration really, and within six months I had meetings with executives of businesses I couldn't get an internship with about partnerships.

Just keep working and solving problems.
CoBinge?
The goal has to be first survival so that at least some of the team can be provided for. Otherwise, everyone will lose health care. But I agree, leaders have an obligation to balance this with the wellbeing of the team. If 70% of payroll costs have to to be cut for survival, pay cuts won’t suffice. Perhaps leaders should do an analysis of which team members have health care through other sources, or ensure that COBRA is paid in full. Lots of difficult choices ahead. Let’s take care of each other.

I'd recommend starting here: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/#physics

In my experience these are some of the best online courses you can watch to learn physics. Personally, I would look into the trying to watch the lectures from Walter Lewin--Walter is a fantastic orator and has a really great mad-scientist persona that is really captivating. Some additional archived lectures can be found here: http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/34001
and here: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/archived-physics-courses...

I got my minor in physics from NYU many many moons ago (yes I'm getting old), but I found that the MIT lectures and OCW materials went way beyond the NYU coursework in both breadth and depth. I watched these lectures and worked through the lecture notes & assignments for Physics I, II, III, Quantum I, II, and several others in addition to digging into the Mathematics lectures / content. I found this material to be the most helpful out there. I'll also point out that I emailed the professors (Lewin, and others) and was pleased to receive a warm and helpful response on several occasions. I hope these are as helpful for your learning as they were for mine.

Once, you are able to complete the video lectures here, OCW has a massive amount of content for some of the more advanced courses that aren't in video format. In my experience, going through these video lectures and some of the mathematics lectures should set you up well to be able to comprehend even the most advanced content across field theory and string theory.

Cheers!

Maybe, and also be a drag on the overall economy (by being unproductive). Why would you ever think that harming people could potentially be good for the economy? It makes absolutely no sense.
Um, a lot of things?

A computer can give me clues as to why I still feel tired after sleeping for 10 hours every night. The right tracker can tell me what my oxygen levels were while sleeping, or how restless I was during the night. It can estimate how much time I spent in each sleep cycle, and identify anomalies in how much REM sleep I seem to be getting, for example.

Many, many people suffer from various sleep abnormalities and insight into their behavior while sleeping can be helpful for helping their conditions, or at least giving them insight into what's going on.

I think Diamond Princess is a pretty good petri dish scenario for testing that hypothesis. In fact, although there are still some ongoing cases so the data is not finalized, you can normalize by passenger/crew age and reach a final infection fatality rate estimate for the whole population.

Here's a tip: it still comes out to be 5-10x higher than the seasonal flu.
I don't know. I'm not qualified for that kind of decision making. What kind of impact would it have if you limit the size of a news agency? Would it actually be good or bad in the long run? If you put restrictions of language, topic and angle, where will the slippery slop end? How can all that be abused? What does that muzzle that shouldn't be muzzled?

Maybe, at the end of the day, it has to be people who fight back. Kind of like how you have the political fact checks. What if there were organizations that did the same about the journalistic integrity of news agencies and calls them out on it? I just think the calling out portion needs to be hardcore and not pussyfoot around it. A lot of the political fact checking always seems so quiet finger waving. If a plumber screws up the install job of a home's system and floods out the house, there's no light finger waving. A politician making bad policy due to bad logic and a news agency scaring the shit out of the public is further widespread and can cause lots of indirect havoc. Makes me better appreciate the Yakuza idea of collecting fingers for mistakes. People don't fuck off as much after they lose a finger.
Presumably because WebView is available to other applications besides Safari and pinned sites, and they want to offer the same privacy guarantees to users for WebViews in apps as for Safari. Adding an exception for pinned apps is unnecessary because it's impossible to meet the criteria for deletion.
are you saying that everyone taking a 2 week pause would irreparably damage us economy, really? more like you will see a V shaped movement in stock market.

the main problem right now is that there is a lot of fear and uncertainty in everybodys mind partly because of Italy & spain. and as cases mount that fear will only harden so regardless of whether there is a lock-down or not people wont go out an shop until a sizable portion of population is infected and recovered OR we determine with american data that CFR is indeed quite low (doesn't look like from hospital testing data & they wont do widespread tests).

but regardless I do agree bailout package is not gonna be enough.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thing-in-itself

I don't think it follows that either the universe or our minds are computational. For one, we don't have a satisfactory definition of "mind", so that question has to remain open until we do.

And the universe could be "computational" in a completely unfamiliar way. It might even be humanly unimaginable.

As a wild speculation, consider the extreme case: the universe actually functions as an indivisible whole.

We use math to make predictions about repeating causal patterns, and invariably they work in a time- and precision-limited way. If the universe was a true thing-in-itself on its own terms, it could be "computational", but our models would always be incomplete and imperfect.

We would never be able to understand it fully, because we would never be able to build a complete and accurate representation of its computational mechanisms.

> There's no such thing as a "master" repo in Git. "origin" is the default name for a cloned remote, and the convention used for adding a default remote, but nothing distinguishes the origin remote from any other remote. It isn't a master remote other than being default.

You're over thinking my example. As I said, by "master" repo I meant the centralized repo that many _(most?)_ git users have, somewhere. Aka Github, Gitlab, etc.

You're conflating Git's design with users patterns of centralization and distributed teams. Notably that often there is a single, centralized branch(es) on a single repo that everyone merges to.

This centralization could be distributed. It sounds trippy, but as you put it if your origin is on IPFS, you effectively have a single, mutable repo instance hosted on a decentralized platform (IPFS).

My guess is that is what Dgit is. A single mutable instance, hosted on a decentralized platform (Sia).

So back to my example, many people do indeed have a "master"/centralized repo. It's not a part of git, it's a user convention on top of git. But I didn't say it was in git.
Can't you efficiently filter for this by only counting the ICU beds (rather than just hospital beds)?
I got my Dreem 2 headband two week ago and since then I am using it. It monitors brainwave EEG to monitor sleep stages. Not sure about accuracy but I see it has a live EEG which can detect even your eye blink very accurately. If you wear and see the live EEG and blink your eyes, you can see the wave pattern changes as you blink your eyes. So I assume that it is accurately detecting brainwave.

Apart from detecting sleep stages, it has other features (e.g. smart alarm) which I have not used yet. I really wanted to use sleep simulation which they claim to enhance your deep sleep. But unfortunately this feature in not available in the headband sold in USA.
I think you are overplaying things.

Most first world countries have hardened, resilient, and distributed infrastructure that takes little resources to maintain. The more your economy revolves around non-essential goods and services, the more headroom there is for dealing with failure.

The second order effects of breakdowns in supply chain are real. But they are most effectively dealt with by JIT and connectivity. The US is changing significant parts of it’s economy to deal with this shock: and it looks to be effectively redeploying resources without any leadership at the top.

Look historically at whole countries hit by war or disaster, and see how they managed.

Imagine if tomorrow all medicines are unavailable, and all hospitals destroyed? Many people would die, but the vast majority of the economy would keep running and the vast majority of citizens would remain healthy. Sure, we all could have stocked up on some resources better, but there are heavy costs associated with over stocking and over planning.
In Italy the hospital system has not _yet_ been overwhelmed, even if it is quite close to that point.
Still, people are already dying just because it is getting harder to have a proper care/medications even when you are not covid-sick.
While covid fatality rate is not affected by such cases, at national level this is definitely not negligible.
OP here, I just posted an update section on the post that touches some of the comments I've been seeing here. English is not my first language so I think that sometimes I don't make my ideas clear enough or well explained enough.

Re-posting the most informative visualization I have found on this topic so far: https://www.politico.com/interactives/2020/coronavirus-testi...

See dramatic ramp-up in testing, and where the number of tests administered is significant, a reasonable approximation of the infection rate can be established. So the recent blow-out in NY was actually a good thing and it does not reflect the true daily infection rate: they just didn't know how many cases they had. They still don't in fact, asymptomatic cases don't get tests, and those who had the virus and now have immunity (of which Cuomo's advisors suspect there's at least 100K) can't be tested without the new serological test currently under development.

The only reliable metric of severity remains the number of deaths, and until that gets into tens of thousands (i.e. exceeds that of flu), any panic is premature. We're not Italy. We're not Spain. The current level of response to this is unprecedented.

When was the last pandemic? Seems like the Spanish Flu back from 1918-1920 is the only thing "recently" that was at this scale. Then take the miracle of modern science eradicating heinous disease. Like smallpox... only for anti-vaxxers to bring it back...

Pandemics haven't really been a real threat for people to take seriously, and for good reason. Society and infrastructure is unrecognizable since Spanish Flu. Laws and procedures... well, no one really has real experience for this kind of problem. It's just a back of the mind kind of what if. More spy-novel fantasy than potential reality.

I relate this to 9/11. It's a massive wake-up call and learning experience. If you're old enough to know of a pre-9/11 world, at least in America, it was totally different. I had to explain to my niece that before 9/11, no one thought twice of an unattended backpack. You leave your backpack somewhere for a few hours in a cafe, park or wherever, either it was stolen or it was still there. Post-9/11, bomb squad is called out to investigate. Hell, Crocodile Dundee 2, lighting dynamite to "fish" in the waters with NYC in the background. Then a NYD coasty rolling up on him having a laugh. Dude, you can't make that joke anymore! Straight up, it's not funny or practical. Dundee would have been lit up post 9/11.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure, the world won't be the same after this. Maybe not as extreme as 9/11, but we will know of a pre-covid world and a post-covid world.
