In this sense "barrel" is a unit of measure. The oil is physically in tanks in Oklahoma. When oil is delivered it stays in the same tank, but the ledger for the tank contents are updated.

Once delivery is made you are now on the hook for the storage costs - which are going sky high because there is no available storage inventory. You can default on your obligations to the storage company, but they will sell off whatever oil you hold to cover debts and then sue you for the rest.

When the market is functioning correctly you end up paying for a few days of storage while the oil is diverted to a pipeline where you can extract it, or it is offloaded on to your train/truck/tanker/etc.
> but without lockdowns.

While I agree mostly with your assessment, it's worth mentioning that the lack of official lockdown in Sweden doesn't mean there isn't a lockdown. According to Google's mobility data for Sweden, their lockdown activity looks pretty similar to what we see in the US. People are voluntarily staying home.
The content of the article explores (and to a large extent answers) the question in its headline. It doesn't seem to make any value judgements.

It is a means of communication that can invoke a strong emotional response. Mainly cause it's visual. A movie might make a good point or make you feel sympathetic. But it is hard to build up a rational, logic argument. It's all feel.

The emotional response takes away from rational processing of the information.
A great example is the 1960 kennedy v. nixon debate. Nixon was doing well. He showed up sick, with a dark suit. Kennedy was young and handsome in a blue suit. It's hard to really listen to someone that looks bad.

EDIT: Neil Postman is a great resource and describes it much better than I can
The propaganda* play for the American right these days is to be absolutely shameless, so any action to circumvent or suppress the protests will inevitably be blown up as the last straw obliterating America-as-we-know-it now and forevermore. In this light, the reaction to the reaction of the protests should be disregarded as a matter of government and corporate policy, because the organizers of the protests are acting in bad faith to simply discredit democratically elected Democratic governorships.

*Propaganda is not meant to be used as a derogatory term in this context; it is a tool, like a gun that can shoot deer for food or humans for conquest.
I am surprised there hasn’t been an “accidental” pipeline leak around Cushing. Who could have known that leaving a valve open could dump so much oil onto the ground.
Conducting experiments is expensive in both money and effort. Let's all sit in our comfy chairs and build fancier models with garbage data instead. If we could divine just the right formula, it will magically paper over the holes in the data. Sounds like every other scientific area I'm aware of. For whatever reason, the experimentalist is a dying breed.

Edit: Do you happen to have a link to a good aggregator for listening to "what's being published"?
I very much agree.
Some of the changes I feel were a step too far though. Completely removing iter{items,values,keys} just made the migration so much more painful. I would say I spend a significant amount of time figuring out if I want to rely on six or if the array is small enough that I can live with unoptimal .items() in py2 throughout the migration. What would've been the issue of keeping .iter*() calls around, with a warning maybe? In general, there's a lot of stuff that could've been kept for backward compatibility, with a warning. It's much easier to slowly fix issues like that over time as you maintain code than to have to convert it all in one go, which put a giant barrier for people want to switch.

>>You can't quarantine vulnerable people completely. If everyone gets it, every bag of groceries is going to be covered in COVID and an enormous number of quarantined people will die

Yes you absolutely can. The workers interacting with the quarantined subset of the population could use PPE to avoid transmitting it to them. Packaging on groceries, as well as the grocery bag, can easily be disinfected before being transferred to the quarantined individual.

I think an important premise is that both the good coins and the bad coins are accepted as legal tender.

In that case, people know the good coins are worth intrinsically more, so people hoard them, preferring to spend away the bad coins, thereby increasing the circulation of the bad coin.

Of course there is the other aspect, which you mentioned, that these bad coins may no longer be legal tender, perhaps because the government that minted them collapsed. That's quite a different problem.

Even this is debatable.

I have no skin in this game and no strong opinion, but let's be honest -- lots of people were expecting total disaster in Sweden since they decided not to implement lockdown, but so far their daily cases chart looks not that different from other nordic countries.

The manual for the test also indicates it will produce a positive test result for other coronaviruses, which seems like a huge red flag. [3]

Actually I was talking about the sedition case, but more of a “clear and present danger” type of reading. I don’t think it’s seditious to protest emergency measures, but at the same time there’s a grey area where the right to protest buts against public safety. These are short term restrictions. I assume in the government wants to get their jurisdiction back to normal. At least, there’s no evidence to me that they are happy about the current situation.

I understood Holmes to be saying that protesting the war in that epoch could lead to actual violence in the US. The domestic terrorism of the anarchists earlier in the decade could make you feel that way.

Some very large companies are investing heavily in making the web the go-to platform for app developers. Google being the most obvious.

Web push notifications are usually not an essential part of web app experiences and I agree they have done more harm than good so far. Some of these features enable types of apps that were just not possible on the web before. Things like 3D games where WebGL/WebGPU would be essential, text editors where they don't function without access to the file system, or a browser based video chat app that uses WebRTC.

As these features become available in most browsers their adoption will increase and any browser that doesn't support them will not be able to access web apps or pages that depend on them.
Oil costs $ to store. Due to the economic collapse, oil isn't being used much. So all the storage facilities are filled up. So nobody who can store it will buy it from you. If you want to get rid of oil, you have to pay someone.

Agreed.

I'd like to point out that some people equate "invest in public health infrastructure" with free healthcare.

The two aren't the same. To deal with a pandemic you need a pandemic response plan for the spike to the system. This can be done in even in the US under our current system. It'd just magnify the pros/cons of our any system in place.

I'm for state run healthcare, but the argument about pandemic readiness isn't about that (imo).

Case fatality rate is # of deaths / # of positive tests. It’s enormously biased by the availability of testing, and the allocation of the tests we have to the sickest people. It’s not especially likely to generalize to the population at large. We need large scale random sampling of the population for that.

Everyone is eager for these results, because there’s a good chance that the true case count is higher by anywhere from 2x to 100x. If it is, then proportionally fewer people are expected to die as the virus eventually does churn through the whole population.

It’s probably still too early to tell, but this is promising.
May be for healthy, but not for the people with certain underlying conditions like diabetes, high BP, obesity etc. Also even if you are not vulnerable to the disease, you could be spreading this to the others who are even without showing symptoms.

> Shady stuff

If I'm being honest, whether it's logical or not I wouldn't be surprised if this is politics and misinformation starting to creep it's way into science. In current events there's a struggle to open up the economy with Trump saying we're ready and the that governors are at fault for keeping everything closed while the are governors saying it's way too early and they need to keep everything closed. This may be an attempt to make the public think the situation is safer than it is (if more people have been sick than thought then we could potentially have herd immunity or be closer to it) which the public can then put pressure on the governors.

Who knows, but I will say it's getting harder and harder to say some thing are too tin foil hat lately.
Eh, they probably thought it (however unlikely) could happen for reasons other than a pandemic. Like unprecedented green energy incentives leading to everyone suddenly driving an EV.

>Are they part of the liberal conspiracy too

What is with this antagonism? Fox News is entertainment, not news. Even if they did investigate they'd be disregarded as an unreliable source.

What, you people think only right leaning institutions are able to be biased? You think only neo-nazis are capable of organizing semi or fully covertly? Is national scale groupthink limited to Nazi Germany? That only right leaning publications can mislead and/or lie?

If a Joe schmoe millionaire like Steve Bannon can run an outlet like Breitbart, is it really so farfetched to think that billionaires can organize mass scale influence?

This myopic, one dimensional left/right dichotomy will be the undoing of our nation.

Edit: this part really irritates me

>why don't they report on them

Do you have any idea as to how much nefarious dealing from all over the world goes unreported even before we get to the subject of bias? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

> I'm not defending a troll here.

That's not the impression I got, at all. That's exactly what it seems you are doing, repeatedly, on this page. On top of it, you seem to be saying that if a troll does damage, it's the system's fault, not the troll's.

> I'm just saying don't attribute to malice that which you can explain with trolling. In that case, just silly trolling has the potential to destabilize a system, then it's not very robust.

Trolls are just cool dudes people take too seriously, you say. (That's those peoples' fault.) And if you do something with bad effects, you are excused if you thought it was funny.

Why do you think trolling and acts of malice are two separate things?
Could people stop looking at the death rate ? If you have millions of people in intensive care for 3 to 5 weeks it is equally detrimental to the economy. Plus, the more people are infected, the more likely it is to mutate. Did you take those 2 points into account ?

Proper care does not -only- mean adequate food. Indeed more children are properly fed than ever. There are various other aspects though. Your parents feeling you should be eternally enslaved to their desires for your whole life just because they made you, for example, is the norm, and as stated above, is an abomination. It creates enormous psychological stress and leads to - surprise! - broken families. Becoming materially independent from your parents is inevitable - and that's when what bonds really formed shows.

Cool i didn't know this had a name. In a way, its obvious once you are sufficiently cynical - in any system or long-term game, the most common strategy will be the one that wins often. From an evolutionary standpoint an advantage is an advantage, morality has nothing to do with it. The reason morality does matter is that over a long enough time frame, bad behavior becomes clear, good behavior breeds trust but that requires you play a long enough game with a stable set of people.

There's a general social consensus that it's wrong to taunt or poke fun at the intellectually disabled.

Many of the people who read the Wall Street Journal love those articles. There are 1400 comments

I read the Journal every day. News like the Stanford study is weaponized.

They tend to do hit pieces on climate change too

Here’s a recent WSJ comment:

“ USC just replicated the Stanford study proving that the COVID death rate is 0.1% - 0.2% and the true infection rate is 50x the official numbers.

This means every model has been wrong, lockdowns were foolish, and this is a bad flu.

In light of this new information I don't understand why the narrative hasn't immediately shifted to an unconditional opening of the economy everywhere. Please, enlighten me.”
Thank you for the reply, we are trying to replicate the issue but due to lockdown in our country we couldn't procure few things to test from iOS and Mac safari, pardon the delay we will update you soon.

>Wait, are you talking about the people who want to send everyone back to work now

This is an argument made in a bad faith. You can't send "everyone to work now", if you are not running a gulag. People who are financially secure can stay at home till 2021, nobody can force them to go to work, this is obvious.

It's a question of being able to make a personal decision between staying at home or going to work.

>Everything is essential to someone.

No, we've built our economy on non-essential work. That's good 99% of the time but it's definitely not essential. The government shutting down these small businesses means, it should (imo) maintain the business owners it shut down. But to call that service essential is not correct.

I'm speaking to the vanity of wanting to get your hair dyed during a pandemic, not the businesses that were shutdown. We should accept as a society that we incurred a great debt by shutting the economy down for the duration we have. And that we owe it to the businesses we shutdown, to keep them afloat.
He’s not talking about stock, and you’re right - their stock would have a far greater return. Potentially over 100% within a year.
It's not just a matter of conducting a study and "perhaps they are wrong". If it can be shown that their study made unreasonable assumptions, and there was a conflict of interest, then any conclusions drawn from the study need to be taken with a grain of salt. When a primary researcher in the study has a financial interest in a specific outcome, it is at best a poorly designed study, and should be suspect. When the author has, prior to actually collecting data, advanced a desire to influence policy as if the results were a foregone conclusion, that is a problem.
