The only way that analogy works is with some kind of self replicating prion disease, which would get selected out pretty quickly. The main fallacy that people tend to make drawing comparisons with biology and computers is the degree to which biology is in a stable equilibrium (occasionally punctuated).

There are lots of endogenous retro viruses (ERVs) in various states of genetic activity. However the only time this comes up is when considering ERVs from e.g. pigs for organ transplants. I remember reading some time ago about an effort to remove all the ERVs from a line of pigs to make that safe. I don't remember what happened of that.

You do see some unicellular organisms that will prioritise maintenance of proteins over DNA if the proteins have low copy number and are critical for survival.

I find this type of anti car narrative to be disingenuous, because it doesn’t pass a sanity check of the common sense reality around us.

Pedestrians are not impeded in getting around as long as sidewalks or enough roadside space is available. And cyclists are an exceedingly small minority in most places compared to car drivers. That’s because cars are the fastest and most convenient way to travel from point a to point b. They are faster than bicycles, lack the wait time of public transit, are protected from the elements, and let you move goods and family around. Almost nobody who has a family would want to lug their children around in bicycles - spare me the cherry picked example of Amsterdam.

As for which culture is pushy and obnoxious: the roads were funded by taxpayers’ money for the purpose of vehicular traffic. Commandeering it for a thin minority with the luxury of time to burn is pushy and obnoxious. Not the other way.
In high school my teacher preferred that to distinguish it from the multiplication symbol. These days I write it as a times with a hook at the top-left to distinguish (a la most cursive styles, but disjointed), with the added bonus that I write uvwxyz all with the same top-left hook that helps visually group them together, matching their typical role in mathematical writing.

Some might, but it is really a misunderstanding. What it "immunises" against is some of the consequences of monetary policy - like interest rates and (hyper)inflation from adjusting the money supply.
It would make me feel a lot better if Gates didn't buddy with Epstein even after his first conviction for trafficking teenagers. I think MS, if it wants to have some respect, should basically disown him unless he has a legit and contrite apology.

If you put your scale to 2x you might as well save your money and buy an old 1200p screen instead of 4K. Biggest benefit of a 4k screen is more screen real estate, smoother text is of course nice too but imo secondary. When comparing image quality you also have to take panel type into consideration, a very good 2k IPS screen can still be cheaper and have better image quality than a entry level 4K with TN panel.

at some point in math you'll never use x for times/multiplication -- you'll always use a dot, unless you're specifically doing a cross product. And that is a good stage to reach. (I still have trouble using x for multiplication though.)

If I buy a stock at $100 with the assumption that there is an upside that it could go to $1000 but the lowest it could go to is $95 cause the government will step in, that is practically a risk free investment.

If there is a lesson to be learnt from this crisis and the 2008 housing crash, it is to invest in real estate as a risk free investment. Housing is too big to fail.
Technological advancement really is a curse.

Given that Japanese quality of life has barely moved in decades despite the economic hardships perhaps it's time for regulators to stop focusing on the arbitrary 2-3% inflation metric which causes so much distortion in monetary policy?

Why exactly can the inflation range targeted by Central Banks never change?

No, neo-Luddites will. If they aren't successful later generations will eventually forget how it was to not have coercive ads, so they won't have the same visceral response to the indignities they cause. Sort of like what happened with the market system.

Kinda agree but thats a model that works for many places that switched to car free centre. In many cases parking lots already exist in outskirts of the centre.

Completely car free city is a pipe dream. Diversity is good.
In my opinion, the only way to cook/bake is with a digital scale, and as far as I know, any scale you'd buy in the US has the option of grams or ounces at the push of a button.

In practice, I constantly use both. To some extent it depends on the packaging of the ingredients, which may use either unit.

When measuring small things, it's only practical to use teaspoons and fractions, but otherwise I weigh everything. I even tend to weigh liquids in dry ounces sometimes, as I've memorized 8 fluid ounces = 8.337 dry ounces.

Using different measuring systems is no more of a mark of inferiority than using different languages. And similarly to languages, modern technology makes it fairly easy to translate even if you don't know.

It is definitely a misconception that you don't see metric measurements in the US. They're everywhere, including your car, school, stores...
The country with the ratio of 0.1 can pay off its debt 20x more quickly/easily. Much less risky of that country defaulting.
Sharing the contents of a dividing cell is important. But unless both of the two resulting cells can produce more of the initially shared stuff, they are limited to the half-size of the original cell.

Do we need everyone to memorize these guidelines or do we need an alphabet that is designed to be naturally distinguishable despite stylistic differences? I feel like with cursive and handwriting focus going out of style, it isn’t practical to expect convention to be followed more strictly than it already is(n’t).
Before Eternal September, usenet was great. I only got in at the tail end of things.

It's funny what you say about Digg because Reddit is that now, the same few powermods control almost everything. It feels more like reading a bunch of press releases than anything authentic nowadays, though there can be good content in smaller subs that have nothing to do with the front page.
This is true, and even the negative consequence- "trillions more in debt"- is a (to a first approximation) fiction.

Central bank balance sheets are supernatural entities of essentially infinite capacity. We need to use them now.

We don't necessarily know how to properly measure the various economic entities and activities we care about when balance sheets are used this way- but that's an accounting problem. We can clean it up in post.

Self-isolating vulnerable populations is almost impossible. You're talking over 100M in the US.

The Visitation of Visitor Pattern: How it makes your software useful?
First, there is a lot of development that falls under what I call "Fuck you pedestrian" development. It's not uncommon for intersections in big cities to require a pedestrian to cross all three ways to get to the other side or walk a block to cross at all. I've been to strip malls where fencing forced pedestrians to walk the long way around, following the same route and going through the same entrance as a car, instead of providing a small gap in the fence to save them many steps.

Second, streets that prioritize cars are generally wider and push development farther apart. This makes errands on foot longer than they have to be.

Third, I've lived without a car for more than a decade. Cars are faster on the open road over long distances. They aren't necessarily faster for running errands in town, assuming you can shop reasonably close to home. I have many times experienced this.

I leave on foot and someone else goes in their car and we get there about the same time because they have to stop at traffic lights, etc.

Fourth, Amsterdam isn't "cherry picked." It was intentionally designed to be bicycle friendly by people who chose to make that a priority, which is why it is. The US has chosen other design priorities. Unsurprisingly, we've gotten different results.

I'm not being disingenuous. I've lived without a car for more than a decade and I wanted to be an urban planner at one time, so I've read plenty of stuff pertinent to the subject.

People who love cars in the US saying that car culture is the norm and is proper and the right thing and other people need to quit their whining is not unlike white Americans acting like people of color are just whiny crybabies and racism isn't real.

The fact that you like cars and car culture works for you doesn't on the face of it prove that other people with other lifestyles don't find it amazingly inconvenient and obnoxiously so. It's just usually not worth saying because most people don't want to hear it and won't really listen. They will just double down on their existing prejudice, which is, itself, an obnoxious thing to deal with.

I think the difference is that the infrastructure is decoupled from the content now. Cable systems and satellite fleets were both traditionally very high barriers for new competitors to overcome. Granted, consolidated media oligopolies may get us to the same place a different way.

I saw plenty of predictions this was just another flu and thus no big deal. Wuhan contained it early so total infections would be kept low etc.

If anything I am shocked how accurate many epidemiology predictions where.
or the 1957 Flu pandemic but I suppose that was not long after the polio vaccine.
We've had approximately 5 months and millions of transmissions for a virus with an RO of approx. 5-6 to mutate. I'm going to bet these people are not asymptomatic. I'm instead hedging my bet on them having a variant that causes cardiovascular damage, and they're a common cold or some other correlative health event away from a rapid decline in health.

Driving downtown is apocalyptic, huh. Like nothing else. Feels like end of days.

I will partially defend PPP here: the money is forgiven if "loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs." So it's more of a stipulated grant than a loan. As it should be.

The failure of PPP is administrative. Congress authorized this much money: who gets it? The Small Business Administration was supposed to administer it, but they are not equipped to do so, so they delegated it to banks, which favored businesses with existing banking relationships. That's a stupid way to distribute a stupidly-small pot of money.

I agree with "give money and healthcare to people independent of work" to the extent that this crisis continues. Congress should authorize enormous monies, and the Fed should commit to back it, until the infection rate declines to manageable levels. We can pay for it now or pay more for it later.

I do not agree that "bankruptcies aren't that bad." I do not want my hometown's businesses to be "restructured." After this crisis, we will have an economy that is massively distorted towards delivery. Amazon is going to come out of this so much stronger than my neighborhood grocery store - but there was never a problem with that grocery store.

"Corporate negligence" is a real issue: some authorized money may go to paying dividends, or executive bonuses, or other garbage, even while they impose layoffs. But if you impose oversight, you delay help to firms that really need it. One thing you can do is post-facto oversight: don't block spending, but let the American people know where the money was spent. And the CARES act sets that up pretty well.
Obviously, I'm talking about professional predictions. If for some reason you care about armchair predictions, it's going to be 10 to 1 in the "way worse" range for a random sample here.

Which accurate pre-peak predictions are you referring to?
The Feds do have a system to funnel billions of dollars out of small companies once a year, so in theory that pipe could go the opposite direction.
Don't know why you are downvoted, your ideas are very good and insightful.

Thanks for bringing up the idea of the separation of public and private spheres, it was something I couldn't articulate for a long time as to why somehow the suburbs always felt better and healthier for me. I still don't understand my peers obsession with living in downtowns (you can always drive downtown if you want to go there).

I do find issue with your need to re-envision our social fabric. This stream of thought is very old, beginning with Plato, the gnostics of early Christianity, the enlightenment and going through some pretty unsavory moments of the past two centuries. Underlying the tension this kind of ideas always have is the nature vs nurture debate; and certain disatisfaction/disapproval of human nature. The way society evolves is much more a consequence of how human nature is realized and expressed in modernity. I would say as I grow older that I've come to realize that accepting our humanity rather than trying to change it (speaking of certain artificious ways in which we try to "correct" our nature), would save the world a lot of pain.

When you mention the example of both parents working, though it is as much a consequence of both parents in many families working (leading to higher income, which means families where only one works get squeezed), as it is of women seeking to work and be more independent than they previously were. Even then, many women I've met, still have this natural longing for living in this nuclear family.

I do see that further increases in population density will only aggravate this situation. As the economy becomes increasingly centralized in cities, people need to work there to get a good income ---> however rents and prices just keep rising benefiting the people who already have significant assets in the city. If families were willing to forgo some degree of comfort/convenience/modernity, maybe a return to rural living could restore some of this fabric. However such a reversal in urbanification, seems unlikely given the current materialistic obsession practically everyone lives in. For a long time now, possibly earlier than the industrial revolution, the main focus of individuals is not who they are, but what do they have. To this last bit in some perspective, what would people think of Socrates if his death happened today, someone willing to die for his convictions? To a very big percent of people (and I myself recognize the bias to think this way. Something of how I was raised in this world?) it would seem meaningless, why couldn't he just compromise and keep on living? What was important for him was in some sense his soul/beliefs, for us it seems to have a comfortable life. C'est la vie moderne
