That doesn't really disprove my point though, does it? We run our cities and governments like businesses whose goal is to bring down costs as much as possible.

Getting rid of emergency prep makes the most sense from that perspective because you're hedging your bets on not needing it. It's the exact same thing corporations do when they don't proactively fix security vulnerabilities because they're hedging their bets that the cost of the problem will be less than the cost to prepare.

We're going to have this problem as long as we demand taxes to be as low as possible.

Welcome to maturing. Most people I've talked to have noticed things.

The positive part is that experience counts for something.
Actually it doesn't. Everyone is working from home. We have little idea when this may end and if there would be next waves. Fully functioning without need to be in-person is absolutely essential for every tech company. If your stack is so undocumented that someone must sit down with you and give every single new hire 1:1 hand holding in repetitive manner, something is very broken.
Even if we somehow completely shut down production of stuff to buy, and all existing stocks disappeared... there are plenty of people that would accept large paychecks to save for later. We need less than one percent of the population to be harvesting food.

There has also never been a massive global attempt at a coronavirus vaccine. Also many coronaviruses have wildly different behaviors and mutation rates. I think the answer right now is nobody knows for sure, but it will probably take at while for a vaccine if it's developed successfully, which would mainly at that point serve to prevent repeated lockdown cycles as it returns seasonally.

Same old desk and monitor, but I decide to invest in buying something that support my WFH life: good chair.

I bought the midrange 'Think' chair from Steelcase, and even it's not the top of the line and has compromised features, the quality and comfort is miles ahead of my old cheap $50 office chair. My butt just heal itself just sitting on it Imao. It just worth every penny. That aside, no chair can replace the need to exercise and strengthen your body regularly(especially lower back and glute muscle if you sit all day)
As a relatively new programmer, I’m kinda of baffled it took up to now to have these features in mainstream programming languages, but I certainly lack a huge amount of historical context.

That may be happening now via the virus. China's case count is still around 80k, where it has been since the virus started taking off elsewhere.

Millions died in Mao's "Great Leap Forward" and then again later in his "Cultural Revolution". Not only did he lead the country through two periods of extreme death and famine, but also he is still an icon to many in China. Xi could very well do the same thing.

A perfect example of why humans are so strange.

Now half of the 21 days have passed and NC have officially registered 117 deaths, so they thankfully won’t reach 4000 deaths in the remaining 10 days.

I think the implication of the grandparent is political revolution.

Personally I think it's a little unlikely at the moment because of China's surveillance state and generally rising standards of living in China over the last couple decades, but FWIW the Syrian Civil War was started over graffiti.
Yes it is, but if it isn’t followed then you can’t blame the vaccine. Many other companies made the same vaccine using the same processes without issue. The Salk vaccine is very safe if manufactured to specification.
What you are saying would make sense...but on the other side the counter argument is to eliminate large portions humanity in order to save the planet....

So, what 'global warmers' are really arguing for is to preserve the lifestyle of the few rich western countries on this earth, at the expense of the other poorer countries. But, that is already what the garbage and pollution spewing capitalists are doing.

At the end of the day, both sides agree that Thanos got it right.
It's intellectually dishonest to wax philosophical and paint the consumers as the problem. Powerful people have made conscious decisions to short sell their countrymen in the interest personal gain. My witting or not engagement with their company is not the problem. It is ridiculous, to the point where I must question the motives behind your comment, to offload the moral responsibility of every company onto their customers. It is impossible for every person to vet every company and their adjuncts. I did not tell Amazon to work their employees so hard that the only way they can keep their job is by wearing diapers. No. The responsibility for decisions like this rests solely on the few people at Amazon who have the power to change such conditions. Whether I shop at Amazon or not is immaterial. It is the responsibility of government to step in and try the greedy tyrants at every abusive company for their wholesale abuse of Americans. The fact that government has not arrested these abusive people is a reflection on the quality of people in position to effect real changes.

I feel like Microsoft has actually built a sustainable, developer-friendly, OSS-friendly business around Azure, Visual Studio, and GitHub.

For what it's worth, I saw posts on Reddit saying the opposite: that Bat coronaviruses are BSL-2, not BSL-4, and so it wouldn't make sense to restrict yourself as a researcher by studying them in the most stringent lab.

(I'm not saying this to argue that the lab escape theory is wrong, just to argue that Reddit posts are difficult to appraise.)

On LCDs, I still can see faint flicker on some static backgrounds, and I think 60 Hz might play a role here too—though it seems to also depend on the brightness and Flux being on or off. E.g. on https://marctenbosch.com/news/

Maybe productivity gains are vastly overstated? Or more specifically, productivity numbers are distorted by a few industries that have had extreme productivity gains, while most have stagnated.

Sure they can. Who is designing and building and installing all that automation?

I know that you recognize this since it's a key point of the rest of your post. But I don't think you've fully realized the implications. The problem is not just that post-secondary schools haven't lived up to their promise of teaching people how to increase overall productivity. The problem is that, fundamentally, increasing overall productivity is entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship is not something that can be taught in schools. It's a fundamental change in viewpoint: you have to stop thinking of yourself as an employee, a wage earner, and start thinking of yourself as a business owner. But schools teach people to be wage earners, and as you quite correctly point out, there is no real growth to be had at this point in being a wage earner.
See my sibling comment. These cheap punches are hollow and detract from the matter at hand. I imagine low effort comments like this are prohibited here.

>>You're glossing over that by ignoring externalized health and environmental concerns, among other things. The market might be stronger if it's left unchecked, but that's not the same thing as slowing down the spread of a disease. Free Market theory simply does not guarantee that we'll have the safest outcome in the shortest time.

Government has a role to play. The market can't do everything, as not every asset can be turned into private property and have a price attached to it. The meta function of enforcing respect for private property rights is also not something markets can provide.

In a pandemic, there are many things a state can do, like fund the development of open-source designs for masks and ventilators, and public domain treatments and vaccines.

It can also fund extensive reviews of the PPE and treatments on the market, to help consumers be better informed.

The government playing this role, while the market acts within the framework created by the public goods generated by the government, optimizes society's response to pandemics.

Price controls worsen society's response to pandemics.

>>Ah yes, you're right and it's true this can happen on the black market under price controls. In your thinking, why is that worse than unrestrained price gouging? What is the meaningful difference in outcome?

Without price controls, there will be larger stockpiles in place, so the market price will not spike as high during a pandemic. More importantly, shortages will not be as severe during pandemics.

Without price controls, business activity to alleviate the shortage is more greatly incentivized as well, leading to the shortage being filled more quickly.

>>Even under ideal conditions, the market takes time to respond to changes in demand. When spikes in supply are price-capped, let's assume not that it'll be price-capped forever and all time, but that either it will be price-capped during a time period that is too short for the market to respond to, or that changes in pricing will be rate limited rather than value limited.

That's a good point, but I think the conditions under which the benefits of free market prices don't outweigh the benefits of price controls to be very limited.

I can't imagine any scenario where price caps that extend for more than three days after a disaster (time enough for high prices to encourage air freight to bring essentials in) will do more good than harm.

> None of my engineer friends have lost their jobs yet

Most middle-upper class employees are not engineers.

> White collars are working from home

People can only work from home if they work for a company that has money to pay them - a company that hasn't shut down due to lack of business. A white collar employee working for an airline, hotel chain or car manufacturer (and all of these huge companies have huge ranks of middle/upper management in marketing, operations, HR, accounting, etc.) probably doesn't have a lot of job security right now.

Also, the key word in your sentence is "yet". I'm a software developer, and I'm sure that if my employer's revenues drop significantly during the upcoming recession, layoffs will be inevitable.

I feel that our profession, software engineering, might actually cause this sort of problem. Like the movie 'Concussion' the hyper focus on solving logic problems might cause brain damage. I've experienced something like this after multi day long bouts of coding, where at the end I become incapable of understanding simple greetings from other people. It is like the 'social signal processor' part of my brain just shuts down.

And, it is this 'social signal processor' that helps keep me sane. God knows what I'd be like if I only lived in my own head 24/7. So, what kind of brain damage could it do to a person to become completely consumed by coding 24/7 (even though I'd love to do so)?

This phone is a certified big fucking deal in terms of market impact.

It takes the “iPhone most people should buy” from $750 to $399.

It completely demolishes the Pixel 3A and makes that phone just about impossible to recommend. A load of Android OEMs selling at this price point should be terrified.

And much more than the original iPhone SE, expect this phone or a $399 phone to finally stick around for Apple. The iPhone SE seemed like an experiment or a way to squeeze out more use out of some remaining machinery. But, I don’t know, this feels different. Apple is selling a price point and they’re going to keep that permanently. Look how much fanfare is on the home page of their site. This thing might even be updated every year.

And honestly, the iPhone SE is too small for most people and had more downsides than this.
