You just wrote out this long, politically charged comment basically asserting your opinion as fact, which appears to boil down to "socialism bad". Don't you think most people here have made up their minds on that issue and are tired of watching endless fights about it? We aren't on slashdot.

Also, this:

> the only way that humans have ever lifted themselves out of poverty is through productive labour and innovation

...is utterly false. Maybe somewhat true in the general case (although less and less so even there in more recent history), but not at all for individuals. People and governments have helped other people and governments many times without asking for anything back.

Keynesian economics has been practiced for the last few decades? Where? They don't call it the neoliberal period for nothing.

If you are talking about the QE programs, that's what Keynesian economics would call "pushing a string". Keynesian would be fiscal policies, not monetary policies.

You suggested there is a moral duty of an individual in the EU to buy specifically from outside Europe (like Morocco or Turkey) because they were expected to receive migrants. What about the moral argument that by buying from any oppressive or dictatorial regime you are supporting that regime?

And wouldn't this directly hurt local businesses? Given that the cost of living and production in the EU is higher the only way those businesses can survive is if a wealthier population buys the product, which is a much narrower segment of the market.

> not buying from neighbouring regions is somehow supporting "where we live"

Yes, buying from "someone" does support "someone". You can't be surprised by this, can you? Businesses need customers to survive. Without customers all local producers especially in such "expensive" countries become local importers from cheaper countries. What happens to the local economy once so much of the production is moved abroad, especially in exceptional situations like today? What happens when relation with that country go sour?

You suggest that EU citizens should leave Greek and Italian family business out to dry because Morocco and Turkey are receiving immigrants.

This is a weak argument, appealing only to pity ("but think of the immigrants") and brushing aside everything else.

My two cents: change career and move to another place. I moved every four years, from countries to countries, continent to continent, never worked more than 3-4 years in one job. Career change can be from your current employer to another one or from your current favorite language to something different. It is a radical mindset change, being a slow moving individual. but the wealth of learning from different places and cultures is fantastic.

I doubt it’s the only ‘school’ that has an explanation. That there are cycles in the economy isn’t a very strong statement. Nor does it seem to apply here because this is a different cause than one underpinning a typical business cycle.

Until this virus is wrestled to the ground somehow (e.g. distancing, sterilization, vaccine, herd immunity, etc...), we’ll continue to see mitigating effects which distort the picture of normalcy pre-2020.

First, there's no disaster profiteering in free market. It's business as usual, but with higher prices due to higher demand.

Second, if you want to complain about inappropriate and outright fraudulent behavior, take a look at the Covid-related healthcare-rationing "guidelines" in Spain and Canada that withdraw supply to paying customers based on their age. That's not only immoral but it violates commitments to those who were forced into these contracts with the State.

If I raise the price of face masks that you can still buy (or not, up to you), that's nothing but goodness. On the other hand when the state kills off the supply of healthcare after charging you for it according to prices and conditions you hadn't even agreed to, that is the worst form of profiteering
I don't mind arrogance on public personas[^] who are very good at what they do. Think Steve Jobs arrogance. Think José Mourinho "I'm the special one" in 2004. I read it as putting your (reputational) neck on the line. "I'm so sure of this assertion that I'm risking my reputation here.". Taleb is one such brilliant mind.

The downside to arrogance is that it will tank your reputation if you fail. This may be too early in History, and too politically charged to use as an example, but think Trump.

[^] on personal interactions, though, I find arrogance a repellent trait.

A previous employer cut everyone's salary by 20% during the dot-com bust and I've heard the 20% figure thrown around quite a bit over the past month--with or without a reduction in hours.

It seems to be a figure that a lot of companies settle on as a significant cost savings in the aggregate while not being such a big cut that (most) people can no longer afford to pay their bills or otherwise feel forced to just walk out the door.
Can't argue with that. It's just easier to visualize a complete city with all the houses inside of that city than it is to remember a useless number. At least for me. Text is hard for me to remember, pictures aren't.
This seems to be veering in the direction of the Land of Moved Goalposts and Non-Sequiturs, but I'm game for one more round, because lockdown.

It's rather unlikely that the first issue, which is an ordering problem during service shutdown, has much in common with timeouts during service startup, which you have described as your original issue.

The Stack Exchange question is a straightforward how-to for adjusting the timeouts.

5773 requests a clarification of the documentation of timeouts and signalling behavior.

3901 is a case of misplacing the timeout directive.

2047 is a sort of philosophical problem of reporting uniformity vs. consistency with manual configuration. The systemd team prefers the former, whereas I would prefer the latter for not violating the principle of least surprise, although I understand the reasons for choosing the first option.

Anyhow, I still don't see good support for your assertion of the complete lack of timeout documentation, just tangentially related distractions. A complex set of problems, and service management does qualify, will have edge cases, insufficiently clear documentation, and outright bugs, which is why software is never finished. Older init systems had all of these, but they didn't give you the tools to attempt to rectify the problems, so it was all more or less swept under the rug. Using a facile "shit, fullstop" characterization therefore tells me more about your views than the actual technical merits or documentation quality of systemd.

Just another processor won't solve the problem existing today - fund need to get into this system and they will get there from regular CC or regular people, which are stolen and sold cheaply today. It will be a battle between fraud and checks. The way they will battle this is "the dystopian" way, you are correct there - more and more closed systems, proprietary protocol additions, ban of 3rd party clients, eventually it will work only internally in google, microsoft and apple. It already starts to happen with dynamic emails, blocking imap etc.
I do that too. Hardcoded defaults is a pain. I acctually like desktop Outlook and I wish it just froze in time forever so I don't have to relearn it. I hate when the UIs are changed and I have to relearn where all the buttons are in a program I don't really care much for.

>>"This coupled with fractional reserve banking means that the banks can make a whole lot more loans, flooding the system with liquidity so that money can start moving again."

That's not how it works.

First, never mind how much money banks can lend, if there is nobody asking for credit. You can't create demand for credit by QE.

Second, private banks are not limited in their capacity for creating credit by the quantity of reserves available. If central banks are going to keep their interest rate target they have to facilitate any demand of reserves by private banks.

It's impossible for a Central Bank to control the quantity of money and the interest rate, they have to choose one, and they choose the interest rate.

As I said in another post, I was totally confused about how it works until I started to read the Modern Money Theory version of all this.

Usually copyright laws refer to a substantial part of a work, it maybe be 0.6% of the delivered web page, but it's 100% (presumably) of the article. The article counts separately as a work (and each image within an article could count as a separate work, there are conditions on that).
But, in any case if all the textual context was copied that's still substantial. Interpreting things in a purely numerical way like that would be clearly ridiculous.

Such gotchas don't work in law in general (in my very limited experience).

Aside: "wiki" is a term referring to a general class of software. The name of the crowd-sourced, free encyclopedia is "Wikipedia", as it is built with wiki software.

In other words, Wikipedia is a member of the set of wikis. You wouldn't call "5" just "integer", e.g. it would be confusing to say "there are integer fingers on one hand".

I wouldn't look at economic theory to predict what will happen as economists haven't studied economies subject to pandemics, but you can look at the reality on the ground

1/ consumer confidence is extremely low as people are afraid of the virus and afraid of losing their jobs

2/ businesses have seen sudden and complete revenue destruction with revenue going down from 50% to 0% of pre-crisis; however their obligations (salaries, servicing debt, paying suppliers) obviously are still there.
The natural instinct is to pause projects, new hiring, layoff people, stop buying things, postpone payments to suppliers and be more aggressive in collecting invoices.

This becomes a self-reinforcing cycle purging non-essential businesses or non-competitive businesses at a very high rate.

This will accelerate until normal people are no longer afraid to go out and then the supply chains will restart with the businesses managed to remain alive.

The best policy response would be to freeze the capitalist system altogether and allow any liability due in the future to be postponed by 3 months when entities can prove significant revenue shortfalls and implement an aggressive government-backed temporary unemployment system for those businesses as well.

To the extent that people haven't lost their job yet, it would fix the impulse of business owners to do this very aggressively in the necessity to balance inbound and outbound cash and post-crisis these businesses would have similar balance sheets as pre-crisis so life can resume quickly.

For normal people nothing would change much to the current situation (stay at home, temporary unemployment, being afraid).

The other good policy response I have seen is to force banks to give businesses a corona-credit and to guarantee those loans. It's less good because it does increase the debt-load of a company which alters their balance sheets and would have to be paid off post-crisis.

Yes.. although excess mortality is the thing that we'll look at in retrospect to gauge the overall human cost of this disease, I don't think it is all that useful for measuring "how well is containment working" in real time. Too many confounding factors (both positive and negative) as you mention.

Personally I think the best metric is one of the simplest -- the raw percentage of positive tests. This is because it simultaneously captures two important factors: if the percentage is high it means that either you are finding the virus all over the place OR it means your testing capacity is so low that you only are testing highly probably cases. If either of these are true, you should not think about reopening.

I think that usually when people say “algebra over a ring” they assume that ring to be commutative, so that the word “bilinear” in “bilinear multiplication” is useful. It’s possible to define an algebra over a non-commutative ring as a bimodule (rather than left module or right module) equipped with a bilinear multiplication, but I have rarely seen this used.

The definition the parent poster used (or intended to use, but wrote the wrong way around, I believe) was that an algebra over a non-commutative ring is just an algebra over its commutative centre. (In which case, we’re still really just talking about algebras over commutative rings).

How It Works – Redux
I'm all for standardizing tools but when it comes to interactive commands I don't really see the problem to customize for your particular use case. The only drawback is that it makes it a bit more frustrating to use a 3rd party computer but I spend 90% of my time on my own computers where I can easily import my config files.

In this particular instance I also don't find braces much more ergonomic at all. I typically navigate the filesystem using tab completion, that means that I'm going to end up with a full path like:

mv /foo/bar/some_complicated_file_name.txt |

And then at this point I have to backtrack to add the braces at the right location. In this situation I find TFA's solution more straightforward and more elegant.

I think a more productive advice would be "don't customize something until you've given existing solution a fair chance". It's easy to go overboard with customization and make it counter productive. It's important to understand the mindset of the people who wrote the tools and whether you're truly facing a limitation or the system or if you're "doing it wrong".

For instance I personally love zsh's global aliases and have "G" aliased to "| grep" for instance. So I can write for instance "some_command G something" to grep through the output. I also have "M" bound to "| less". Probably saved me tens of thousands of keystrokes through the years.

> 2. This leads to unsustainable debt, as people are forced into borrowing to meet basic needs with no means to pay it back.

People borrow for much more than basic needs and they do so voluntarily without anyone forcing them. This does not substantially affect your logic, but I think lots of the blame for mismanaging debt lies at the people in debt themselves.
What you said is true but often when you pay for a lawyer you're paying in part for their longstanding business relationship and non-business reputation with everyone else they have to do business with.

Whether they know it or not the other party's lawyer, the DA, the Judge, the clerk at the courthouse, etc are more likely to (unconsciously) give favorable treatment to a lawyer with a name they recognize who's been working in that jurisdiction for 30yr, been bankrolling the local little league team for 20 and funding local politicians campaigns for 10 than he is with someone's who's just become a partner at a law firm that's only existed for a decade and isn't held in high regard by every other important person in the jurisdiction. People generally give people they know better treatment than people they don't. This effect is important for anyone who's job involves negotiation with other people in an industry without tons of turnover.

or a little of both:

find . -type f |while read f; do if cmp -s "$f" ../new/"$f"; then rm -f "$f"; fi ;done
