Yeah, I feel that for sure. I MITMed my robot vacuum and wrote a little python library for it. I assumed that it would, like my other open source code, get approximately no attention. Even at a couple hundred stars, it became a notable pain in the ass. When that vacuum died, freeing me from any sense of responsibility for the code, it was a sweet day indeed.

Right -- there isn't any booking its just about who brings the money for that sign on that day. You can pre-declare how much money you want to assign to an hour and sign but can't know that you'll win for that sign and hour. If you don't win there, you keep your money to use elsewhere.

But we have ~1500 signs and each of them is playing a new ad every ~8 seconds. In other words, there's plenty of space. Those 8 seconds can range from a penny to a buck depending on the time and place and on the current competition. If you want to show up, you can.
Gifs suck as a user interface. It’s not just the huge file size, they also

- Must load entirely before playing (whereas video formats can load as they play)

- Don’t show any progress/buffering icon while they load, so it just looks like the page has frozen

- Lack the ability to skip/scrub through the video (if I miss a part, now I have to wait the entire thing to loop)

- Don’t have audio

Actually, these aren’t really issues for short gifs (<5 seconds). But long videos which have been converted into gifs are quite common.

>"The point of the paper is that if we want economics to be a science, we have to recognize that it is not ok for macroeconomists to hole up in separate camps, one that supports its version of the geocentric model of the solar system and another that supports the heliocentric model. As scientists, we have to hold ourselves to a standard that requires us to reach a consensus about which model is right, and then to move on to other questions."

I disagree with this. Convergence on one methodology, model or theory is usually achieved by some process of reductionism, but the complexity of economics makes it hard to ever come to some straight forward conclusion about which form of inquiry is superior, or if there even is such a thing.

Even physics is not safe from this. People have questioned the importance of string theory and its 'mathiness' and difficulty to be empirically verified. Some people believe in grand unified theories, others think they're not worth pursuing.

In general I think what ever helps clarifying issues we have or helps solve problems is worth keeping. I think we ought to science more as a form of discourse than as some sort of 'model' that needs to converge on anything. Mathiness has its place and so has non mathiness. Different models may work in different circumstances.
> This single generation has utterly destroyed the social fabric of America and I have my doubts it can come back.

This resentment is legitimate. I believe it is more than just the generation that destroyed the fabric. And it not happening only in the US.

But it doesn't mean we don't have our agency about it. Yes, a whole lot of things keep changing in our environment very fast. That's our making because we participate in it. But in that there is a space for us to do the right thing, lead with example, gather those friends that we've lost to mindless internet scrolling for mindful and deep chat, to change our environment that makes cultivating such relationships possible. Let some defect, let some betray, but make a stance with what value you choose to act on.

The fact you are sad about this loss, gives me and I'm sure many others hope that we will eventually figure our way through this. Maybe not soon, maybe not even in our lifetime, but as long as we don't numb our pain or replace the need for genuine connection with addiction, we will find ourselves making steps in the right direction.

(IANAL) Believe the more serious charges are "reckless endangerment" [1].

Exact definitions vary state to state, but you can generally argue that reasonable circumstances precluded felony endangerment.

E.g. Doing 120 mph on a straight, flat, southwestern road with horizon visibility in all directions would be speeding, but a reasonable judge would probably weigh the unlikelihood of you posing a danger to anyone other than yourself.

Whether or not you get such a reasonable judge...

I've been steadily plugging away at a semi-regular schedule (I post when I hit a milestone, but that can vary in time itself) on my writing blog. I post all my short stories there, as well as progress on the novel I'm writing. I know no one here really cares about non-tech stuff (I'm a tech guy, but I've sort of gotten more interested in philosophy and writing lately — all I used to care about was tech, so I get it), but shameless plug: https://indifferentuniverse.christopherdumas.org/?m=1.

I've only been doing it for less than a year, so I haven't reached the stuff you're talking about. I haven't even really branched out into talking about general topics yet, but I plan to soon. I'm just slowly feeling my way around, seeing what I can do and what I have time for and whatever. I don't get (m)any views that aren't myself yet though, lol.

I don't think his fund is structured to beat the market. If his fund is structured for extraordinary events then I would expect it to underperform strategies that are optimized for typical conditions. I would expect his fund to be used as a hedge in a more diversified strategy and IIRC there was publicity that it did exactly what it was intended to do for its clients when COVID-19 became a pandemic.

> your lizard brain is designed to handle futures on the order of seconds and minutes, not months and years, and certainly not decades and centuries.

I guess I should eat my words for using an imprecise phrase like lizard brain but I'm talking about the limbic system which is most assuredly involved in decisions involving fear and ignorance and long term behavior, not snap decisions. Fear in ignorance is good if the possibility space you're ignorant of contains catastrophic consequences. If you have to make a decision that is beyond your intellectual capacity, you should be cautious. We evolved from very stupid creatures that needed to survive phenomena they did not understand. We have not transcended that need. Rationality is also knowing the limits of your rationality.

> the appropriate reaction to an unpredictable event is no reaction at all, since by definition, you can't predict what it is, much less when it will happen.

I'm sorry but this is collective suicide in the face of a pandemic. In the face of an exponentially self-propagating phenomenon that has a wide possibility of effects including: death, permanent injury and the collapse of the healthcare system, waiting around to get more information just means it would be too late if action was needed. Even if it turns out we could have gotten away without it this time, that doesn't mean we overreacted.

> edit: also, fat-tailed typically means a tiny bit fatter than a guassian tail, not some wavy, unknownably fat "tail". otherwise, we'd have enough known events from which to draw reasonable predictions, making it not extreme and unpredictable, nor even a tail at all.

Is this a philosophical point? Are you saying that if I cannot draw enough samples to approximate it that the population distribution doesn't exist?

I'm arguing that there are limits to empirical methods in the face of extraordinary events and I'm making that claim somewhat more concrete by appealing to the divergence in behavior between the population and sample statistics of heavy-tailed, e.g. something with power law decaying tails like a pareto distribution.

Is it ridiculous to conclude that in the face of extraordinary events that cannot be reasonably predicted empirically whose outcomes would be A) widespread, basically affecting everyone and B) potentially catastrophic, we have to be cautious? I don't see how.
Now if PornHub would reveal the viewing habits of politicians maybe we'd get some privacy laws with teeth.
I don’t think it’s just that it has risen over 50%, the increases over the last ~6 years are quite rapid. Consider BC [1]:

Top income tax bracket in BC in 2013: 43.7%

Top income tax bracket in BC in 2014 and 2015: 45.8%

Top income tax bracket in BC in 2016 and 2017: 47.7%

Top income tax bracket in BC in 2018 and 2019: 49.8%

Top income tax bracket in BC starting in 2020: 53.5%.

I believe that there have been similar effects in ON from increases & new brackets, on both the federal and provincial level.

> It seems you are suggesting prices are the only thing.

No, but any supposed other benefits that outweigh prices getting higher are even harder to measure, so basing government intervention on them is even harder to justify.

> Over what time frame are they better off?

Um, whatever time frame the prices are lower?

> Are workers (also people) better off?

If they have to spend less on what they need, it would seem so.
You're reasoning from a price change. Inflation is flat/decreasing only slightly because of the "printing", otherwise it would be sharply downwards.

The fed is engaging in aggressive monetary policy to prevent deflation.

The suggestion that buying corporate bonds (while holding everything else constant) is not inflationary is just not right. You can hold on to your mistaken beliefs, but just know that if you do so, it is in willing ignorance of the facts.
Speaking as someone who doesn't race or watch racing, it seems like the fun has been taken out of racing, in order to quite deliberately make it a game of human skill, eking out tiny gains against a pointless ceiling.

It's not about giving things away for free, it's about doing things you like to do just for your own satisfaction.

Patreon, Etsy, OnlyFans, Kickstarter, and even Github (just to scratch the surface) all serve to put pressure on creators to turn their hobbies into second jobs.

"Despite predictions from both structure-based modeling and pseudotyping experiments, SHC014-MA15 was viable and replicated to high titers in Vero cells (Supplementary Fig. 2b). Similar to SARS, SHC014-MA15 also required a functional ACE2 molecule for entry, but uses human, civet, and bat orthologs (Supplementary Fig. 2c, d). To test the ability of SHC014 spike to mediate infection of the human airway, we examined 2B4 Calu-3 cells, a human epithelial airway cell line8, and found robust SHC014-MA15 replication comparable to SARS-CoV Urbani (Fig. 1c). To extend these findings, primary human airway epithelial cultures (HAEs) were infected and indicated robust replication of both viruses (Fig. 1d)."

They constructed a virus and tested in vitro on human cells and found robust replication. The exact chimeric virus they created would cause human disease if it escaped.

Note that Zheng-li Zhi is co-author. She is a virologist associated with the Whuhan lab. As the paper states, she supplied the sequences for the spike protein.

I have been to hundreds of events in Detroit. I know the type you are talking about, I am not them, I love Detroit.

The unfortunate truth is there are 20,000 cities in the US and in 2018 Detroit ranked #3 for murder. Detroit has more murders than New York, Los Angeles and Chicago combined. You live in a dangerous city and it's not because I said so.

My guess is you guys are new to the city and you live in a nice pocket. That's great for the city, thank you. I used to 'run around' the city in the 80s when it was twice as violent and I too was never harassed because I too could afford to live and play in the nice areas.

I hope this doesn’t discourage farmers from using technology to improve efficiency, yields, profits, etc.

I can’t imagine how tough it is to farm for your livelihood. The pressure on farmers must be brutal - from John Deere making it impossible to fix/own your own tractor[0] to climate change, and now your landlord might not renew your lease.

At that point, why put so much effort into something with so little upside and so much downside for the farmer.

These do not seem to be remotely comparable.

Vietnam appears to have basically won its fight (no community transmission for a month), and it's not an island by any measure.
That’s exactly what I would do. It’s very similar to people asking you to fix their computer for free when you have tech skills. Ask money (even just 5€) and 90% of requests fade away. The one that remains are willing to pay (and more than a few bucks).
That depends on whether each year until [now] had "copyrightable" improvements. For large open source projects, the copyright notice is placed on each file separately, and it is common to see some files not changing (or changing negligibly) over long periods of time.

At risk of sounding like a gatekeeper, maybe someone getting reprimanded for using an untested, production unready library isn't a bad thing.

It's not realistic to read through all the source of every dependency you use, but it should be encouraged for developers to take a more active approach in evaluating dependencies they pull in - at least to check how active development is, what sort of open issues there may be, test coverage, code quality sniff tests, what the license is etc.

I'd be willing to bet most GPL violations are due to ignorance, rather than intentional.
