>Since evolution only "cares" about you to the point where you bear children and raise them, what are the chances that it engineered ALL those systems to last FOREVER?

This sentence turn things into such an anthropomorphic way, to the point that the concept of evolution en engineering don't make sense anymore.

In the (scientific) evolution theories, evolution doesn't "engineer" life. It shapes life forms by environment constraints alone. And these constraints are in no appearing way optimized for fostering life, which appear more like an accidental byproduct. No conceptual framework nor any concern for conscious parsimony of implementation or sense of elegance are underlying evolution forces.

Indefinite youthfulness span would sure seems impressive. But it is nothing compared to other challenges that should be overcome to attain an exceptional life span: an unswerving immune system, not being killed by any domestic accident, human social violence or natural catastrophe, and not suicide yourself over psychological disorders.

The thing in my eyes that separates bullshitting someone from lying to them is that when you lie, you know what you are saying is probably or definitely false but when you are bullshitting someone, you just don't know if it's definitively true.

Provided a chance to prepare a proper response, one should never bullshit anyone and doing so is quite disrespectful however when put on the spot, sometimes it does more damage to just say "I have no idea" than it does to make an argument based on assumptions.

A piece of advice that I received when I was younger that I've since taken to heart is this:

Never say cop out phrases such as "I think", "maybe", "possibly", and "I hope". The only purpose they serve is to shield you from the consequences of what you say if you are wrong. If you don't want to deal with those consequences, don't be wrong. If you can't answer with a reasonable level of accuracy, the only valid response is something to the effect of "I will find out".

This advice easily was some of the most useful advice I'd received for being able to hold my ground in a professional environment. If you know the answer, say it. If you are willing to bet the answer is true, say it. In all other cases, find out and get back to them. Very few people will press you if you can't answer something and will in most cases see you with more credibility. Nobody has all the answers so why should you have to pretend you do.

In this sense, bullshitting isn't so much about lying, it's just guessing that you are right. Should you do it often? Probably not, but if it's ultimately of low consequence and you believe you are mostly correct, it is only slightly worse than saying something incorrect on accident.
Under that logic, we’d still have segregation.

You misunderstand. A test that labels everyone positive would be 100% sensitivity but 0% specificity, and a test that labels everyone negative would be 100% specificity but 0% sensitivity. Deciding every case at once by a single coin flip would thus be useless.

As the article says, "A perfect predictor would be described as 100% sensitive, meaning all sick individuals are correctly identified as sick, and 100% specific, meaning no healthy individuals are incorrectly identified as sick." Deciding every case at once with a single coin flip does not meet both critera of a perfect predictor.

Jollibee is expanding in the US anyplace that has a large Filipino population, especially NYC and northern NJ (you already mentioned CA). In the Philippines, spaghetti is more sweet than savory, and often has sliced up hot dogs in the sauce—it is what it is, but I've always preferred the savory Italian-American style with lots of tomatoes, sausage, mushrooms, and peppers in the sauce. Culturally, Filipino spaghetti is more associated with kid's birthday parties (there are a lot of these) than grown up food, but adults love it because of nostalgia.

Ok. Can I get someone to look over this research?

It looks like Tesla is actually complying with the law and the _County_ public health org is contradicting a strategic federal & state order. Specifically they are contradicting the Executive Order Gavin Newsom made which is what empowers and dictates which industries should close and which are strategically required to remain open.

If you look at this executive order which is both empowering the CA shutdown and dictates which industries are required infrastructure and MUST stay open, the rules and regulations to be followed are at the State level, and no additional empowerment to create superseding rules at the city or county level were created:
https://covid19.ca.gov/img/Executive-Order-N-33-20.pdf

Relevant part of Executive Order (Bold):
"On March 19, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-33-20 directing all residents
immediately to heed current State public health directives to stay home, except as needed to maintain
continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors and additional sectors as the State
Public Health Officer may designate as critical to protect health and well-being of all Californians."

Furthermore, the State requirements for critical infrastructure that must remain open included "Workers at transportation manufacturing facilities":
https://covid19.ca.gov/img/EssentialCriticalInfrastructureWo...

I don't see how Elon Musk is breaking the Executive Order, in fact based on these documents it looks like county officials are overstepping and illegally shutting down something that has been explicitly earmarked as strategically protected, can someone provide additional links or order I may not have been able to find?
Yeah I just picked a number out of thin air. I suppose it depends on your discount rate + some arbitrary threshold of when you want to say the asset has returned most of it's useful cash flow.

For example, a cash flow with a 10% discount rate will return about 90% of all it's discounted future cash flow by year 20.

The discount rate depends on the investor, and as for when you stop counting cash flow on the way to infinity, I guess that's up to you.

> A special document to exempt people from “movement and mask restrictions”...

I just find this idea viscerally revolting. All I can think of is armbands with the Star of David.

I don’t believe there can ever be any justification for mass restriction of movement in society, because such is a roadmap for tyranny.

However I need only make the case there clearly isn’t justifiable ends in our current pandemic. What we have found is a minuscule and highly stratified extreme-risk population (mostly, nursing homes) and a vast majority for which COVID is the least of their concerns. Much more pressing a concern for the masses is getting back to their jobs, their so-called “elective” procedures, and resuming healthy socialization and recreation patterns.

What we need, and what the Constitution requires are strictly targeted measures to keep COVID out of nursing homes, and for everything else to re-open.

Mass restriction of movement and mandatory testing is neither legal, nor is it conscionable.
Sure! I agree. There are plenty of different authentication standards. But if these are all highly ubiquitous standards implemented by a myriad of apps, why is this work passed on to the developer, and not handled by the operating system? Why can't I pass my OAuth tokens to this hypothetical login view (a la Firebase Auth), and let that handle signing my user in through X service? Why can't I just provide a shibboleth endpoint and let the native view handle exchanging tokens?

I'm not asking Apple or Google to figure out my highly custom one-and-done authentication protocol that relies on smoke signals and written poems to let the user sign in. I'm asking them to give me the tools to support these decades-old standards, standards that basically every app has to support already. It makes sense especially in the context of GDPR to provide system-wide support to a legal problem, as opposed to each developer having to solve the same exact problem over and over again.

Indeed it is, it turns out that there are lot of things that need to happen to keep the country semi-functional.

While the document says it is advisory, it was incorporated into the general California order as things that should stay open (and the orders in many other states).

It is advisory in nature because public health like this is a state matter not a federal matter.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is one of the authors. It's a good read on how they're thinking about vaccine development, and I'd give the conclusions and recommendations put forward here some real weight considering the knowledge/influence over the regulatory pathway these authors might have
This should be drastically safer than a motorcycle. It presumably has a seatbelt and airbags, and no chance of being flung 50 feet in the air or sanded down by asphalt.

Parking would be a huge advantage in a dense city. Limited parking can create a psychology barrier that impacts your realized mobility even if you own a car. I regularly decide to not go somewhere because I know how much of a pain it will be to park. I've been tempted by motorcycles for this reason alone.
Maybe I was unclear because I picked a generically common surname for my example, but I was also assuming both people were descended from a common successful ancestor.

Yeah - if someone could point me to a nursing home where 5% of the population died in a week in December/January I'd believe it - anecdotes about people being having the flu in the winter isn't the most convincing.

I think it's context dependent. I did two months of quarantine isolated in a 500sqft apartment and experienced slowly deteriorating mental health culminating in a mental breakdown.

Interesting. How do you/does Apse make $
> No, because children don't have a right to work.

I'm not sure what point that's meant to make, but it supports what I was saying. You'd never be able to derive that exception from:

>>> Well, the UN definition of "Human Rights" includes the "right to work"[1].

There's loads of different competing rights, exceptions to those rights, and other social practices that need to be weighed to make a judgement a situation like this. Focusing too closely on reasoning about this one "right to work" ignores all that, and thus leads to less than enlightening conclusions.
I wouldn't say I hated history in school. I certainly didn't like it, but that's definitely not the case now.

I believe there are two reasons behind that change, for be personally.

1. I went to public school and a majority of the history classes I remember were busy work / the way it was being taught.

2. I'm older and more mature.

I think you are greatly over-estimating Musk's concern about his workers "starving."

I don't think Musk is an evil person, but everything about his past actions and his personality has shown he is singularly focused on his big dreams: electrifying the automobile industry and getting to Mars. He sees these closures as a threat to his dream, not to his workers.

Again, I don't really think there is anything wrong with this. It takes people with unique drive like this to bring about big change. But it's important to not confuse his drive for something it's not.

This is a great example of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23136688 .

We could do that with the technology available 20, maybe even 25 years ago. Now they are effectively inflating the hardware requirements for pretty much the same functionality. This sort of artificial forced obolescence is despicable and deserves to be called out and fought.

> if someone could point me to a nursing home where 5% of the population died in a week

Sure, if we were talking about mortality rates but we’re not. we’re simply talking about prevalence of COVID prior to the major breakout of February and beyond. These are two completely different things to be looking at.

I’ve worked in nursing homes during that time of December where people were dying. Did we think to send bloodwork off to test for some novel coronavirus? Of course not. Secondly, using the example of a nursing home as the sample population is silly as they are not the ones who were traveling. It’d be their family members and caregivers who traveled and then brought the disease into the facility.

> I think it's a fine enough solution, but the fact that it's a different syntax from your standard js objects encourages people to consider the VDOM objects as "not normal data", but they are. Notation as a tool of thought innit.

This is the author's only commentary on JSX and IMO it's not enough of a reason to completely ditch JSX. Most people who work with JSX in any reasonable capacity understand that they get transpiled to hyperscript-flavor calls (and ultimately POJOs). I'm not sure why we need to reinvent this wheel in TypeScript as hyperscript already addresses this problem in native JS.

Given the Musk hate spiking up over how he seems to be going a bit off the rails this is a pretty easy sell to get on the hate train for him doing this.

At the same time, I know people in California who are building up debt they'll have to repay while not being allowed to work. That companies aren't paying them and for various reasons unemployment aren't an option. It's not much better in my state.

The biggest factor in if I would agree with Musk on this is if Tesla has been singled out. I'm a bit out of the loop on my ability to cross reference things here, but are there any other Automakers in Alameda county? Are they shut down as well? If no to either of those then I can see why it does seem like government overreach.

I say this as someone with preexisting conditions who is still working during the outbreak and has been deemed essential by Local, State, and Federal.
