One thing I always found extremely funny is that, while Italy is known everywhere for its love of the espresso (don't get me started on the incredible amount of Italian and especially Neapolitan songs about coffee!), most of us actually do our coffe at home using a simple moka pot [1]. Our grandmothers mostly used the "napoletana" [2] instead, I don't particularly like it but to each their own.

It's such an ordinary, day to day gesture, making a moka when you have a little bit of free time, that I have yet to find an Italian "coffee geek".

Monopoly poisoned the expectations of generations of people about what a board game is. It's terrible not just because it's a bad game, but because it keeps people out of the hobby.
But now you have just portrayed situations in which banks provide affordable loans to people who don't need them, and unaffordable loans to people who need them. But this is what was criticised in the first place so we know it happens. So I'm not sure what the point of your first four paragraphs were.

Your final paragraph is exactly what my earlier comment rejects. The general public has every right to criticise banks for acting in the banks' private interest. Banks are not charities, it is true. But they are groups of moral agents acting in a community, and the community has every right to hold the moral agents to whatever standards the community wishes to.

The bank has the legal right to pursue its own private interests, so long as it acts legally, and has the legal right to not act as a charity. But that is not an argument against the view that the bank should act in conformance with community expectations, and if necessary the law should be changed to ensure that they do.

The fact that banks make ridiculous profits - they're not just covering costs - is also relevant. If your business is making billion dollar profits, you're vulnerable to the claim that you should give greater weight to public opinion, and the notion that you're only acting to cover costs is a red herring.

I think there are a lot of advantages to a local app:

1. richer interface
2. lower latency
3. no need to share sensitive data with a third party

1 & 2 are less of an issue than they used to be, but 3 is still a major issue.
I was replying to the bulk of the comments in the post above, which were along the lines of not wanting to go because of age/liking hometown etc, and specifically mentioned at the end that there are valid barriers to consider, including one in the original post about the complexity of immigration. There are true barriers in the way, my disagreement was with the ones listed above.
Looks like someone asked in the comments over there.

>> As I understand the plan, yes, it should be globally, although there is some amount of regulatory red tape that needs to be cleared everywhere so I have no idea on timing. This is great for individuals around the world, of course, but it’s also important for companies who want to standardize on a Fedora OS and on the same laptop models worldwide
And when they do change there are very straightforward guides to the changes, when and where you can/should/must use new materials, and so on.
Any advice on finding a working logical argument? I find myself stuck in unhelpful loops sometimes i.e. Do I enjoy my job? Do I have a sense of purpose in my job?

To help put this into context for others here.

It's interesting to note that Aristotle's "virtue ethics" -- based primarily on this work -- have come "back into fashion" over the past few decades, after being largely ignored by philosophers for centuries as having any contemporary relevance. (I.e. you studied it for the historical value mainly, but it had zero connection otherwise to contemporary analytic philosophy.)

The two main strands of philosophical thought over the past few centuries have been deontology (best exemplified by Kant) which is that you follow specific moral rules ("don't kill", "don't lie", "keep a promise") no matter what, and utilitarianism (Bentham/Mill) which is "the greatest good for the greatest number" (divert the trolley to kill one person instead of five).

They both obviously have truth to them but are also deeply incompatible with each other. Aristotle's "virtue ethics" says instead that what is most important is one's character, and that a virtuous character comes from a balance of temperaments. For example, you shouldn't get angry all the time, but you also shouldn't be cowardly all the time. Good character means knowing the right times to take bold angry action, but also knowing the right times to stay back out of fear -- and that honing good judgment is the key to knowing when. Sometimes it means breaking a promise, sometimes it means sacrificing a greater good for another principle, and there isn't always an obviously right answer.

Thus the idea of "good judgment that can't be reduced to strict rules" is now seen as an equally viable alternative to deontology and utilitarianism. Perhaps because it seems particularly relevant in an age of relativism.

Also perhaps particularly telling, in the TV show The Good Place which recently ended, and where every episode is about a different philosophical dilemma, when the creater Mike Schur was asked about which philosophical system was closest to his own beliefs, he replied that it would have to be Aristotle's virtue ethics.

I personally found reading Nicomachean Ethics a fascinating experience, because it was written pre-Christianity, so the complete and utter lack of notions of "good and evil" is revelatory. We're so used to thinking in such terms in much of the world, it's refreshing to see a totally different worldview.

In case anyone is curious for a modern treatment of Aristotelian thought, Martha Nussbaum's book Upheaveals of Thought played a big part in "rehabilitating" Aristotle in contemporary philosophy. It has parallels to the vein of "emotional intelligence" that became popular a few years earlier.

Is there a reason everyone presumes in-situ/ closed-loop treatment is required, other than that is what the paper discussed? It seems like an artificial constraint, or maybe just the convenient method to use for research.

Why not: Remove whole blood, treat whole blood (possibly in bulk with other patients' bags of blood), replace whole blood.

It would address most of what you list, and otherwise simplify things, especially if only a small % of blood needs to be treated.

I don't quite agree with this. In the example of crafting fishbait, there are two sides to it one is collecting the Manilla clams and the other is crafting them into fishbait. Both are done one-by-one.

Arguably collecting the clams is much much more time consuming, and it's always been something I'm fine with. It's engaging running around digging the claims up.

Crafting them literally is just me spamming A for minutes at the time. It makes me watch a YouTube video instead of engaging with the game.

When you need multiples to even have fishbait have a point, then I feel it detracts from the game. I literally can't think of an experience (min max or no) that is enhanced by the crafting tedium. It would be different if crafting involved some care and attention like say Fantasy Life.

My problem isn't the time wasting it's the fact that the way the time is wasted is not engaging at all. When I think about that minutes of crafting, I don't even want to spend the hour collecting clams and the hour fishing a certain spot for that rare fish I'm missing.

When you design a hammer and sell it to the end user, there are limitations on how they can use it. You simply cannot encompass and address every situation that the end user would subject the hammer to. What if they left the hammer in a hot 1500 C oven? The designer cannot design it such that it can universally work in every situation. There are usage guidelines and limitations.

It is easy to square; it's social class. It's very important to a rather large segment of the country that it feel intellectually superior. He provokes them into talking about how superior they are, and that shores up his base.

Awesome! Building these sort of games is a lot of fun and I recommend it! We think there's a good opportunity right now for games over video chat: folks that are self-isolating need a way to connect with each other and if you provide a fun service for that I think it will be used.

We started off using what we knew best: Rails, React and the Twilio Video SDK. We'll introduce other technologies as they are needed to increase our velocity or enable us to build more rich game experiences.

No. More likely it's related to the massive problem of vitamin D deficiency across the world.

"Vitamin D deficiency is worldwide a prevalent health problem and has health impacts on about one billion people. Deficiency or insuffciency of vitamin D is common in the US population, mainly because of inadequate dietary intake, sedentary lifestyles, and reduced sun exposure"

A (potentially inefficient) strategy that I use from time to time is to start with some kind of quick start (a hello world container), dive into a basic project with the new tool (what could go wrong if I wrapped up arcanist with Docker?), use that experience to give some context to a moderately in-depth perusal of the docs, and either research or explicitly test (or both) anything that seems unclear. Write any such things down because they're prone to turning into rabbit holes, and you want to cover all of them.

With that as a foundation you'll still only know enough to get yourself into trouble, but you'll have the vocabulary and background to be able to find more tailored resources, to immediately reject a lot of articles and guides, to form your own opinions about lists if best practices, and to continue learning via hands-on experience.

The underlying assumption is that there are nuggets of wisdom here and there which mostly add up to the knowledge you're looking for, but that they aren't all in the same place and that they're buried under a deluge of inapplicable, SEO'd garbage. I think that's a decent model for thinking about Docker, but other topics like learning most mainstream spoken languages might have more dedicated resources which will serve you better.
I'll look into that :)

Zooming out a bit on the general topic of high COL markets though, it's interesting talking with people around my high COL community who feel like they deserve to live and stay here regardless of the changing economy. Thinking out loud:

Maybe high COL markets are untenable in this economy for a certain percentage of the population?

...if there were no welfare schemes going around wouldn't these high COL areas rebalance faster to some equilibrium in line with broader affordability?

Are the handouts just further propagating an attitude of entitlement while also artificially inflating high COL markets otherwise overdue for a reset?

>We already have a sizeable population of bleach-drinkers in the US, and he just encouraged them to mainline it

Discussing potential treatments with, as he said, "medical personnel", is nowhere near advising people to drink bleach.

The fact that a person would ingest a known and clearly dangerous chemical simply because Trump said the word disinfectant is a reflection on the individual, not a valid reason to censor the president. If people are ignorant enough to go from "president mentions potential treatment" to "I must inject myself with bleach" then, frankly, the heard needs to be culled. Arguably the way we've coddled such people for decades is part of the reason we're in this sorry state, but that's another discussion. In any case the number of people who actually go on to do such a thing will be negligible if not zero. This is pure sensationalism.

You speak of misinformation but you are consuming the very same, only oblivious to it because of your bias. How often do people actually look at the primary source, i.e. the interview? Because by the time anything is filtered through the media it is nearly always exaggerated and misreported. Even this example - the guy is rambling like an obvious idiot, that's clear and more than enough to report on. But then we go and have the media holding him liable for the poor choices of others, for discussing a potentially medical treatment? This happens literally every time he talks.

We're way past the point of justifying faith in any of our popular media.
