> The artificial safety net provided to states as opposed to corporations is for the fact that it is important for all states, even the most underperforming to have a standard level of infrastructure and overall competitiveness. The whole concept of republic like the US is partly based on bringing up the rear. This is why poorer states have less leverage and must offer more incentives to businesses to induce economic activity. Richer states already have advantages of being the incumbent including various resources to draw and keep businesses.

This is a great ideal, in theory, but the flip-side of it is that in reality if we don't have any sort of negative consequence for unsustainable policy-making, you have a moral hazard, and institutional corruption and rot. Heaven knows there is a lot of that at the State and local level. You ultimately need some creative destruction in the long-run to ensure that we have the best possible governments. I heavily caveated that we must make sure that, in the short run, the poorest are taken care of. Insofar as one would be in support of allowing States to fail in a "good faith" way, it would be if the Federal policy ensured that the poorest among us are bailed out and taken care of in the short run.

> These same states (often blue) have higher taxes to fund their barriers to entry with surpluses that give them the capital to weather aberrant situations like these.

Sure, and a lot of Blue states will be fine and not have to go into packaged restructuring / bankruptcy. For a lot of States (both Red and Blue), the most worrisome line item is the defined-benefit pensions — they promise a certain return that has never happened and will never happen. These pensions will _never_ be solvent. Most people in Illinois under the age of 50 know that they will probably never see a dime of these pensions, and that's terrible. You would want to push States to more sustainable pension systems, maybe a Sovereign Wealth Fund like Singapore / Scandinavian countries, or just raw publicly funded 401(k)s. If those same pension plans instead put the annual contributions into the S&P500, they would have been more solvent than they are today.

> In addition, it is difficult to argue that constituents will vote for their economic best interests if social issues are more top of mind in redder states.

I mean, you have to let constituents look out for themselves in a democracy. If they don't vote in their economic best interests, then that means those societies favor different outcomes. All of these states have republican forms of government with checks and balances to ensure that democracy doesn't turn into mob rule. Letting Blue states go into bankruptcy might even be better off for Blue states and worse off for Red states, but the underlying idea is that we need to let States test out different approaches to welfare and infrastructure and prevent long-term institutional rot.

> This will only exacerbate the problems without a federal solution in place.

Yes, hence my caveat to bailing out individuals.
In the US alone, hundreds of thousands of people die a premature death due to obesity.

In fact, obesity is so bad in most first world countries, people are calling it an obesity pandemic (sounds familiar).

Does that mean the government should force McDonald's to serve healthier foods? And force McDonald's to stop using all the shitty ingredients and chemicals they put in their food?

Or maybe the government should regulate Coca Cola, which is infused with so many chemicals that it is a proven toilet cleaner?

Hundreds of thousands of people a year die from obesity, because of these food corporations taking advantage of human taste buds and making these terribly unhealthy foods which taste great and provides an overwhelming amount of calories.

If the government makes it illegal for people to consume over a certain amount of calories or forcibly regulate certain fast food or junk food companies to make better food, I'm sure they can save hundreds of thousands of lives from an early death to obesity.

Another example - hundreds of thousands of people die from vehicular accidents per year in the US. Should the government quarantine all cars? After all, if we don't have cars, there would be no deaths from car accidents.

Fact of the matter is, the government can regulate many things in an attempt to save lives, but there are many consequences, especially on the topic of individual freedom.

Me personally, it's not about saving the economy per se, it is more about having the freedom to choose what I want to do. I want to be able to eat like shit, I want to be able to drive, I want to be able to run my business when there is a somewhat dangerous virus running around.

> He may not specialize in epidemiology or virology

Exactly, so he should not be speaking on epidemiology. And it's even more dangerous because people, like you, believe he could be an expert.

> YouTube has no authority to suppress credible doctors from going against the consensus.

But the WHO does.
In the interpretation of the NYS serostudy most favorable to your argument (assume perfect specificity), with 21% actually infected in NYC proper, based on the death statistics and the population of NYC, C19 appears to be a full order of magnitude more lethal than any recent flu strain. That's more than "somewhat" more lethal.

Putting this into perspective: in roughly a single month, we've already doubled the 7-year average annual number of flu deaths.

Project those C19 stats out across the whole population, and assume (generously) herd immunity effects at 70% that halt the progression, and you're looking at mortality rate that swamps that of all wars, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters faced by the US for the last 50 years, right?

Put differently, unchecked and with that extrapolated fatality rate, we'd be looking at something like 53 years worth of flu deaths at the average annual flu death rate? (Again, I'm just averaging the last 7 years for which we have flu stats; they range between ~12k-45k.)

(Happy to have my math corrected).
Delivery has taken so long that they are going to run into refund periods soon. There's normally massive down payments for these which deters cancellations but these aren't ordinary times. You are almost certainly going to see consolidation within the airlines and there's little to no chance of more plane purchases in that case.
Do you agree that context matters? If you use context clues you can figure out that we're talking about one particular definition of pension, and that is the employer-funded definition. What's the point of your pedantry?

That is quite easy to validate.

Since years, Oracle has shipped SPARC Solaris with ADI turned on.

Since iPhone X iOS makes use of memory tagging for pointers.

Starting with Android 11, hardware memory tagging is a required feature on ARM platforms on the CPUs that support it, while on other CPUs the kernel will randomly attach GWP-ASan to user processes and is enabled by default on all system processes during the ongoing preview releases.

It depends on how much toxic debt accumulates during the pause - that is historically a large factor in causing recessions.

We have 20%+ of the workforce losing their income (many who are living paycheck to paycheck) as well as many B2C businesses closing, so we're accumulating debt that will never be paid off.
That's a cool idea. Though I see no need to make it VTOL. A simple tug plane, like a glider tug but for passenger aircraft. Really nice thought!
The convenient thing about the Query and Mutation components being in your markup is the access to the loading and error states within that context. With Mutation, I often end up just passing the mutate callback to an event handler method. There's always direct access to the client when you want to make normal procedural API calls.

The Apollo caching system hasn’t been all roses; it can be pretty easy to wipe out parts of a cached entity you were needing on a view with the response to a mutation on a different view if you’re inconsistent with query and mutation response structure. But I find it convenient after getting the hang of its pitfalls.

Why wouldn't deaths be attributed to covid-19 if patient tests positive and has the symptoms?
Not within the context of this discussion. Using your context clues > childish pedantry.
Can someone help an old fart here? When I think of "API" I think of, say sections 2 and 3 of the unix man pages. Calling conventions basically. When I write a library I don't need a special tool -- the functions and data structures in my external .h files by definition define the API.

This tool is clearly for something related to that (how you call a remote web web service) and clearly people find it, and tools like it valuable. But I don't get it.

This isn't me saying "you kids are dummies for needing this thing" -- I'm asking the opposite: "I don't get it: what important things am I not understanding?"
The JS is run in a separate thread because the real-time operations are meant to be handled fully native. If you are constantly passing large amounts of data between the JS thread and the Native thread or constantly changing the layout (which passes data between the threads) you are doing it wrong. You can't code it like a web app where you just replace one large node tree with another if you want it to be instant, you have to mount both and keep one invisible, either using a navigation library or custom code. This way layout changes are smaller packets so it doesn't saturate the low bandwidth of the thread bridge.

The extra latency for a layout change is most noticeable if it's an animation hence why you should use native animations not JS polling animations. I agree the Animations API is not as easy as CSS. If you want to do complicated stuff you need a lot of experience with it. This is one of the major hurdles for new RN devs.

Its possible to get good performance our of it, better than mobile web UI, you just need to have some experience with what costs and what doesn't.
this would only be true if it was a closed system. the central banks essentially magic money into existence and put it into the market through convoluted methods.

Yes.
I wish I ate healthier during this period of time... Unfortunately I'm finding it impossible to order a grocery delivery right now (I use Walmart). So I just end up ordering Uber Eats twice a day.

I cringe when I think about how much money I'm spending on food and how unhealthy I'm eating. But I can't stop, I'm addicted to food delivery wtf.
I mean you admit it yourself, far too often the splitting off is inappropriate. Normally an inappropriate microsservices is a net negative over all that costs you money in the long run. Just because its working doesn't mean it is efficient.

My last two "assimilations" where because one microservice was written in Java. The original guy left and no one (around the company) likes to touch Java (or pretend they don't know/do it) which means it was alaways me who had to update it. It was a very small service, likely why he thought small = micro! but it was about 3 hours of work in the monolith. Now anyone can update/contribute to it and not bug me every time

The other was a microservice that only served the monolith. New features required the monolith to be updated in order to realize the new features.

My point is that it's not necessarily an altruistic act. It's giving someone the choice of either paying the government or sheltering the money to be used within a limited set of circumstances at another time. Yes, in most cases they are putting in more money than they would pay in taxes, but they are maximizing their ability to influence a charitable instance at some point in time in the future. Also, you notice in that list it has their names? They could have made anonymous donations, but they didn't. They benefit from it, just not in a direct monetary sense. Cynical? Yes. True? In a number of cases also yes.
this also sounds a bit like the new childhood illness that health services are being warned about.
Simply because there is demand for that "other stuff" that you are writing off. Every user and organization has their own workflows and are looking for different things when they spend money on a piece of software. What you consider a core feature others may not use at all.

How to Salvage a Disastrous Day in Your Covid-19 Quarantine
Again, eugenics is an entirely separate topic to the film, something Bills Gates Sr and son are very interested in and possibly the topic of another future film by someone else.

I happen to own a number of classic cars which are not daily drivers and machines I work on a lot. I am intimately aware of the recyclability of 100% steel over alloys. There was a period until the late 1970's when cars were crushed, melted down and produced enough steel to build multiple new vehicles. We have gone backwards in recycling terms as today most cars are plastic and alloys, which are very hard to reuse.
Regarding the film, have you seen it? A central thrust is that raw greed is what's killing the planet and that greed is heavily invested in 'green' commercial ventures. There are far too many people on the planet, demonstrated with 'inconvenient truth' Gore style chart which shoots up vertically in recent years.
The film is flawed but well worth watching imo
I'm not suggesting that revising is solely a matter of re-reading and re-typing. I'm suggesting that I've found them to be a notable component, and that I can do more revising when I can quickly take a possible revision and type it out and reread it to see how it looks.
Snap runs on Google App Engine so one can go pretty far using such services!
In my uninformed opinion many of these "nothing new" cases happen because the newcomer actually solved some (maybe minor) pain point in usability of the old solution. Maybe combined with some good old nostalgia.

In general I agree that people should study more the past, but I do not see any point in dismissing new trends just because the do not market their full genealogy upfront.
Pension is being used as a term of art here not how anyone uses it in standard parlance.

1. By the time we have a vaccine, we'll have the capacity to test deceased patients, rather than having to presume based on pre-death symptoms.

2. We'll know when someone was vaccinated, and how long it takes for someone to test negative again after having received one. We won't be using antibody tests on someone who's had the vaccine, as it'd be silly.
ok...

Then I guess my savings account is a pension too as well as the jar of small change I keep on the kitchen counter.

I agree with that, but I highly doubt that many web sites with performance problems can attribute those problems to React or whatever UI library they’re using. The reason that you see React or Angular when you check under the hood is that those are extremely popular UI libraries.

@chrisseaton

I'll just go ahead and spoon feed it to you: pension in the context of this discussion means a defined-benefit plan contributed to solely by your employer. I'm surprised a Senior Staff Engineer at Shopify is struggling so hard to grasp the concept of context.
That's in the works as well, we're just looking into how we can properly tie these tunnels to your Lynk account
I actually believe that trading is an interesting problem that should be studied more in Academia and Machine Learning. It has many aspects (sparse rewards, long-time horizons, simulation-to-real-world transfer, non-stationary data distributions, etc) that current ML algorithms struggle with.

Unfortunately it seem like most ML people are not really interested in trading, perhaps because it has such a bad reputation (which is IMO unjustified) - so they work on games instead :)
I mean record traffic means record server usage with record low ad spend from their customers.

However, that's just a short-term hit. FB and Google may very well increase their own spending so they can capture the huge amount of people who are now using their platforms.

Because language is imprecise and depends on context - you and the GP are talking past each other. They are using the word in a conversational context and you are using it in an academic/technical sense.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension:

"A pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during an employee's employment years and from which payments are drawn to support the person's retirement from work in the form of periodic payments. A pension may be a "defined benefit plan", where a fixed sum is paid regularly to a person, or a "defined contribution plan", under which a fixed sum is invested that then becomes available at retirement age.

The common use of the term pension is to describe the payments a person receives upon retirement, usually under pre-determined legal or contractual terms. A recipient of a retirement pension is known as a pensioner or retiree."

A 401k is a savings account, not a contractual obligation, so that's why it's not a pension in common usage.
Pension is broadly understood to be a defined benefit. Workers contribute to the pool a certain amount every months, government/company contributes a certain amount every months for every worker and when a worker retires the worker draws a specific amount until he or she dies or in some cases until his or her heirs die. The government (via PBGC) is on the hook for the amount until the time of death. The issue with defined benefit plans is that they are as they are being "negotiated" not self-sustainable with the unrealistic return expectations and having costs not adjusted for the reality of increased life expactancy.

Currently most of non-union ( and mostly non-government union ) employees have a defined contribution plan. A worker contributes a specific amount every year, a company matches some amount of workers' contribution. At the retirement worker's draw down is limited to the amount in that account. If the account did well. the maximum amount is that can be drawn is large and if it has not done well, it is not large.
If you want to read useful academic papers about trading there is one author in particular who is actually not bad - Zura Kakushadze. Most of his stuff is applicable to mid-frequency trading, not HFT. He worked at WorldQuant (reputable trading firm) and the founder of WQ, Igor Tulchinsky, is a coauthor on one of his papers.

Example of a pretty interesting and accessible one - is "101 Formulaic Alphas" [0].
