That sounds like... exactly the reality of such times, indeed. Well worded.

There is a question, each time, of concurrent or even deeper cycles coinciding. The last recession is often thought to have been a prime factor in the revolutions of 2011 (Arab Spring etc). Regardless of their eventual conclusion, the push is deemed to stem (as always in history) from the economic situation. European kings knew all too well that hunger is a pretty sure path to insurrection.

I wonder, given the predictable magnitude of this (by predictable I mean "even if we low-ball it"), what will happen in the next few years worldwide, and in particular in the US. I reckon "Occupy Wall Street" didn't really go far itself (although it's very likely a major factor in Bernie's rise in the years after, among many other things ofc).

I expect to see a much deeper, less superficial reaction this time. A real history-mover. Time will tell.

The initial reaction from the private sector we're witnessing as we speak is unprecedented in magnitude already; hitting the middle-upper class super hard (when Occupy Wall Street was mostly a lower-middle class fight versus the lavish establishment, from one extreme to the other; this is by contrast very "core").

Biological knowledge points to the current perception largely underestimating the eventual situations we'll have to face for the next 12-18 months (at least, assuming we are extremely lucky with a vaccine on first try, essentially; which I've heard no expert claim as particularly easy let alone a done deal, they're all cautious and don't even claim to be "certain" a vaccine is even possible, although "confident" certainly).

Could be 24, 36 months of living with this thing disrupting the economy left and right, two steps forward, one back, two forward, three back, and on and on.

The bloodletting and free-for-all has only just begun. I'm extremely afraid it'll be worse than any of us has seen since before WWII.
> I'd love to see poor people have more money, but I don't see why that's a critical feature for a plan to keep the economy running well.

That kinda is what you're saying, because if poor people don't get more money during this crisis, they're literally going to start starving. 50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and now their paychecks have stopped, how are they going to eat?

> Business closures, for example, are a problem that doesn't have much to do with income inequality.

Of course they do, who do you think spends money at local businesses? If we're talking pre/post pandemic, if you give money to poor people they spend it. That means more people spending money at local restaurants in poor neighborhoods, more people spending money at daycares, more people spending money on car repairs, etc. That's how businesses flourish -- when people have money to spend on goods and services.

What do billionaires do with their money? Spend it on private jets, expensive cars, and invest it in companies like Uber and WeWork? The vast majority of poor people can't even afford an Uber, so how is that helping the average American?

If you give poor people spending power, then the market that supplies their needs grows because it has more customers. What should we do, prioritize the needs and wants of 1% of society, or 50%?

When minimum wage stagnates, so does spending. When the stock market stagnates, does it even affect the average American? So why are we prioritizing the stock market over minimum wage? Is it maybe because of regulatory capture by the ultra-rich?

The economy should not be a funnel for money to get vacuumed up by the top 1%, but 50% of all dollars end up in their hands. Why is that? Why does 1% of society get half of all wealth while the other 99% of society has to fight over the other half? How is that good for the average American?

Why is it that when we're having trouble with the logistics of getting food to people, we're bailing out the airline industry? No one needs to go on fucking vacation right now, we need to get people the food and medical services they need. The only reason is because the only thing that matters in this country is how many dollars are in your pocket, and the starving poor have less than airline executives. It's pathetic.
I switched from pointing various things to cloudflare to simply using NextDNS a while ago, and it's just excellent. The onboarding flow was way faster and easier than I thought it would be (fantastic setup documentation). Configurations are really great for customization at per-device granularity. Extremely slick and fast web UI. Great DNS latency + performance overall.

I was planning on setting up my own recursive resolver one day (tm) but NextDNS really just makes everything so seamless + easy.
Consider that it’s a 6% change, which is crazy. That’s two years of “growth” wiped out in 3/4 of a year. That’s astonishing.
It's definitely possible that real estate (both commercial and residential) is going to see a bunch of deleveraging as the debt becomes unserviceable. Right now everything is frozen in place. But once it restarts and everyone is supposed to get up to speed on their rents and mortgages again, a bunch of landlords are going to realize they're never getting those n months of back rent that are officially just temporarily suspended. At that point, the more leveraged ones are going to end up with cash-flow problems and mortgages going into default (also currently officially just temporarily suspended). I won't venture a guess on how widespread that's likely to be though.
Yeah I didn't get it either.

There's an explanation on Reddit[1] which basically says that there's no logical explanation for why having a horse should have led to a year in college.

True, although every company depends on someone else. Google's fate is no different than the rest of the tech industry and the economy as a whole.
While I agree with your sentiment that the system is flawed and not serving much of the population, I think the parent's point still stands. If the system was designed solely for protecting wealth, it wouldn't be encouraging competition -- ie. cartels and monopolies would be permitted.

Make no mistake, whatever the goal is, the side-effects are unfortunate.

Sounds like another direction to expand RAW formats. Accelerometer data is small, burst shots wouldn’t be that hard to take diff and store along. Then you could hypothetically feed it to Photoshop 2022 and run a 3D reconstruction.
Does this mean anything for the Purple line that are specifically for surveillance applications?

My assumption would be that the Purple drives become the default for NAS usage as the surveillance use-case much more closely matches the requirements of a RAID rebuild (a fairly constant write-stream).

My anecdata sample size of 3 has WD Red drives priced very closely to equivalently sized WD Purple drives, with WD Black drives a significant percentage more expensive (40% +).

Does this mean WD Black drives are the last hold-out against SMR for WD brand?
Bringing someone up to speed in a large complicated ecosystem is extremely expensive. They will have to invest months into you before you will be capable of contributing in a way that isn't a net loss and a drag on existing team members.

People have been hoping that Google opts for global NFC capability but Pixel4 disappointed everyone on that regard.

Sony and NTT Docomo have a stranglehold on the Android ecosystem. No JP NFC supporting android phone ever has more than 3 LTE bands. The only unlocked Android phone that isn't crippled is Oppo's Reno A, and that's an expensive middle range Qualcomm SoC, which is slower than Apples 3 year old devices.

Apples iOS presence in Japan is VERY well executed.

Why daily death tolls are important in understanding the coronavirus pandemic
Not really. Currently the economy is in a bad state but this is not permanent. We expect things to eventually bounce back when we have the virus under control, and that has been priced into the current valuations. If it wasn't priced in then now would be a great time to buy which would push the prices up due to higher demand. When you own a stock, you own it until either you sell it or the company goes bust. Therefore the price is based on investor belief about the future, not just the current situation.
This would've been a welcome move back when vanilla world of warcraft servers were still a thing.
Me too. If someone has data on predictors of compromised packages I’m all ears.
Unlike a vaccine, social distancing likely won't reduce the total of people that will get infected. Social distancing also doesn't increase your chances of surviving an infection. It is useful in reducing the rate of transmission, so it slows down infections rather than immunizing people against them. Trying to equate opposition to social distancing to denying the effectiveness of vaccines so so overly simplistic that I have a hard time it was written in good faith.

And right that the question is to compare the actual death toll to the death toll that would have happened without social distancing. Say 310,000 people would have died without social distancing (more than 5x the current projections). That's 250,000 additional deaths. That would be $100M per death averted assuming a $2.5T cost of the social distancing measures - that's ~10% of GDP. The US so far is expecting losses about twice that.

Fuck, I worked with junior developers who were more comfortable after I showed them they could work with gedit + terminal instead of cargo-culting whatever tool some nerdy senior used.

All I am asking is to not be like those photographers that spend more time on forums discussing about equipment than actually taking pictures, or audiophiles that focus so much on testing their equipment that they forget to enjoy the music. Unless you are a camera maker/speaker designer/software tool developer, focusing on the tools instead of the product is quite a stupid way to live.
If the WSJ wants me to show some concern, they should eliminate the paywall on certain articles. I don’t care that the large amount of their content is paywalled, but if they want me to read their opinions, they can’t hide them.

Dodgy article title.
One thought is that, say, in semi-utopian world robots do infrastructure, farms, mining and even building houses. In that world, basic necessities will become much more cheaper and it might be even possible to institute universal basic income. In fact, I think this is the only few scenarios where UBI can actually become practical without causing inflation. Second point is our economy is slowly but steadily drifting away from these basic necessity jobs to entertainment, entrepreneurship, online services and finance. With UBI in hand, it might be more easier to pursue these high paying jobs. About 100 years down the line, we should expect people to work on more full filling jobs than bagging the grocery, assembling phones or bringing cooked dishes to people.

The difference between the median and the average strikes again! The popular comparison is that median real wages have only risen slightly from the 70s while average productivity (because by definition the labor productivity numbers are averages) has risen substantially. But much of that is due to the increases in productivity from high productivity individuals, say maybe those whose job it is to tell fancy electronic machines how to do low skill repetitive tasks. Some of those people might even browse this forum!

There is actually fairly weak data to support the popular theory of a decreasing labor share of income (and thus an increasing capital share) causing more inequality and to the extent such an effect could exist its size is only a few percent of GDP over the past few decades.
We’re already seeing record lines at food banks across the country[0], and some are already warning of food shortages. We’re already seeing the negative effects, our society just doesn’t want to pay attention to what’s happening to the poor.

At a large technology company with its own software stack it takes several months before a new hire isn’t a net-negative to the team they join. And it will be months after that before they reach full productivity. A bad hire is an extremely expensive mistake.

I don't think that's true. Environmental progress must mean a shift away from fossil fuels. What we currently have is just lower demand, but not for reasons of improved efficiency. I don't think that a lot of solar panels, wind turbines, or heat pumps were installed during the shutdown.

"Another amusing example occurred in an article by Charles Seif titled Not Every Vote Counts that appeared on the op-ed page of the New York Times on 4 December 2008. Seif proposed that elections be decided by a coin toss if the voting is very close, thereby avoiding litiginous disputes over the exact vote count."

Interestingly enough, A.A. does this, where "very close" is deemed to be "less than a 2/3 majority". (Although rather than a coin flip, a name is drawn at random, usually from a hat).

IT DID.

Do not pretend the past 2 months did not happen. You wonder why it "did not tank" but it DID TANK. It tanked when risks were unknown and everyone with a calculator could understand that exponential spread could kill large numbers.

Now 2 months later the exponential spread has been controlled. Now 2 months later those who think the economy is going to disappear have already sold. Anyone holding stocks now is doing so because they think Coca-Cola is going to be worth a lot of money over the next 30 years. Short of new and surprising bad news the market has no reason to price in further uncertainty.
Stock prices are only slightly influenced by real life.
This is just getting started. Everything is so interconnected. Each chunk of the economy that falls away will have a cascade effect that takes weeks or months to knock the next piece out. Once everyone finally heads back to work it will take years to regrow everything to the point it was.

How about air pollution dropping to record lows? Just can't wait for everybody to get back into their cars and idle in traffic, and for the smog to return.

Anybody who advocates unchecked economic growth as some sort of magical savior is an idiot. On the scale of the planet the current situation is very positive.

If we could keep the emissions down like this, the large ecological trends that _really_ matter could be reversed, but I'm pretty sure everything will bounce back to normal.
Interesting, an acceleration cap might be just fine, and easier to tune correctly & get political agreement on.

I agree with you that the economy needs time to react to rate changes. The problem with rent control is sometimes it's implemented as a value cap, and sometimes it's a rate cap that is too low. I wouldn't rule out rate caps just because someone somewhere set the rate too low.

I do want to counter the idea that caps are bad just because something bad happened in some cases. That's not enough to prove that price caps are always wrong. I know price caps can cause problems sometimes. But not having any regulation can cause problems as well, and there's also plenty of evidence for this.

Pollution and global warming is already starting to have massive global economic effects, and the costs and causes of it have been externalized by corporations for a hundred years. All of the free market "success" that has been enjoyed by global manufacturers is starting to cost humanity, and our children are going to need to re-evaluate whether letting the companies operate as freely as they did with our air and land and water was a good idea. There's a growing global consensus that it was not. The implications of that on free market thinking are that we need to understand and acknowledge that some freedoms come with invisible or unaccountable costs, and/or very late costs. And sometimes these costs can outweigh all the short-term benefit. Companies can come, make billions, last for a generation, and die before we even know what the cost was. No amount of waxing laissez faire philosophy can undo the actual damage we've already done.

Thanks for sharing that.

I work from home, my wife is a full time mom. My kids aren't school age yet. Practically speaking the pandemic has had almost no effect on our daily lives.

But the article reminded me how when I go out to get groceries, it all comes rushing into focus. The world is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's like aliens have transported us all to their close representation of Earth. Or if an American was kidnapped and wakes up in Canada. You recognize everything but it's just... Not quite right.

That subtle wrongness is slowly taking a toll. I have a small cry in the parking lot after I've successfully navigated the grocery store and can finally let my guard down.

It reminds me of "homesickness". A condition I've had a few times. I'm thrust into a different city or country because of a new internship or an award + conference trip. Both of which ended incredibly poorly and in both cases I abruptly went home and instantly got better. But I am home right now so I'm not sure where to go.

I keep telling my wife, "it's starting to feel normalized." I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not.
