I think if the world is going to improve for poor people, then individuals who aren't poor are going to have to learn how to not oversimplify reality into simplistic narratives for their own mental comfort. If you admit that reagonomic "rising tide rise all ships" rhetoric is structurally flawed (which is certainly true), then I think you can probably make the next step towards understanding that unless you have four commas in your bank account, you do not have enough clout to change the structure of the current socioeconomic system. And from there, you can probably make the next step towards understanding that it's built that way for a reason, that the hierarchical aggregation of socioeconomic capital towards the top of the hierarchy was designed intentionally.
The short term is too short: the investment won't pay back. Almost all profiteering reduces supply by causing hoarding and waste rather than use. Plus the dead weight loss of people killed by lack of PPE.

You're missing the point, which is what the person replying was trying to explain. We're not simply going back and forth, we're learning from past experience and improving implementations.

The green threads on the JVM were not the same kind as green threads in Go (and Loom), they would block on IO. Can't speak for Loom, but Go automagically reschedules your green thread when it blocks which allows other threads to run while waiting.

The point is they weren't rescheduled when they would block in the JVM, every process has a main thread.
It's fascinating that some images borrow the style of character displays. I imagine the addition of PETSCII, ATASCII, and other mosaic characters Unicode 13 will help to inspire more of their usage.

Here's what you paid for: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=..., https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=.... It includes clauses like this:

> Prime shipping benefits depend upon inventory availability, order deadlines, and in some cases the shipping address.

There's no commitment to provide Prime on 100.0% of eligible orders, or even 1% of them. It's a best-effort service. It's always been a best-effort service.

Regarding legality, this would be a civil issue (questions of contract law between counterparties), not a criminal one (enforcement of a jurisdiction's written laws). However, in this case Amazon didn't claim "We absolutely guarantee you'll receive all <X> packages within <Y> days" or anything like that, so it's not even a civil issue.

Of course, you might reasonably prefer that they provide a credit as a nice thing to do, since they're not providing the service you hoped to receive and that you probably have received in the past. They declined to do that. If you feel that's inadequate, you should cancel and/or stop purchasing from them.
This is amazing and I hope it takes off in the US. I wouldn't be surprised if grubhub and uber team together to spend millions in lobbying to ban food delivery co-ops in this country though. Nothing more American than that!
> There could be a better investment opportunity that comes up or we could go into a prolonged depression. Leaving some money not invested gives you more flexibility to allocate your capital down the road. You'll have lower highs but higher lows, which in the long run is good.

What would that look like for a regular, middle class person? We've been educated to stay away from individual stocks; there is too little money and connections to suddenly be part of some lucrative real estate development plan or invest in some rocket ship ML startup. Most "normal" people incrementally a few grant here or there and what's available in the Vanguard or Fidelity account is what's on the menu. Maybe I am too narrow minded?

At work, we already use technical grade 99.8+% IPA for various things and have a bunch on hand. so we have been prep'ing 70% with RO water and wiping down high touch surfaces.

70% IPA in water is the go-to cleaning/sanitizing agent for most pharmaceutical cleanrooms. They also use other agents, 0.2-0.5% bleach, low pH cleaners, peroxides, etc... but IPa is the mainstay.

The restaurants are squeezed by landlords,and high labor costs. What does this have to do with food delivery?
Twitters Free Strategy Move
I love food delivery apps. It’s incredibly convenient to have a single consistent app that provides me with so many options in one place. I’m also not blind to the fact that this convenience comes at a huge and invisible cost: it’s being used as a cudgel to literally beat the snot out of my local restaurants, quite possibly resulting in many of the best ones going out of business. The power of this small and apparently harmless gatekeeping effect is one of the most unfortunate aspects of capitalism as practiced by real human beings —- and that inefficiency is precisely why so much VC capital is being invested in capturing the customer interface to various industries, rather than in new productive applications.
Unlike those essential workers, pfft. I think this juxtaposition highlights a problem with our current economies. He built a business he didn't like and made bank on it and now he can extract wealth from the economy indefinitely, meanwhile people are essentially forced into subjecting themselves to potential death for "peanuts" and no real financial security. How "essential" was his business, and how "essential" are the current grunts on the front line? Why the disparity in compensation? The economy has a weird way of justifying who is worthy of rewards.

Actually yes, you've put it better than me. On reflection, my comment does seem like I point to governments as the ultimate source, but really it is fear itself, which in turn is exploited by govs.
And the banks themselves are overexposed due to what appears to be systematic cooking of the books on these loans. See this article published yesterday about one whistleblower’s fight to expose this:

To pull out just one of several frightening figures from that article, just one of the commercial backed securities they analyzed appeared to have over half its properties fudged to appear more profitable.

"Uber has nothing to do with helping people get rides in towns. Uber is a business plan. It’s a platform monopoly getting ready to leverage that monopoly into another vertical whether it be delivery, drones or logistics. The prosperity of all the people who used to be in the cabbie industry ends up sacrificed to the growth of this company. Corporations are like these obese people, they suck money out of our economy and store it in the fat of share price. That’s not business, that’s value extraction. They take all the chips off the board."

And MattGaiser's point is that the line between profit and profiteering is vague. The claim is that by saying no to vague "profiteering", we have at least discouraged some of the morally healthy profit that would've encouraged otherwise inefficient production.
Few people are brave enough to explicitly say "yup it's worth N deaths to do suchandsuch", no matter how important the suchandsuch is.

If you gave people a complete understanding of the scenario, that "stay inside until the risk is gone" means "stay inside until at least 2021, maybe longer, while the rest of the world gets to stand in stores and eat at restaurants again", I doubt any significant number of people would sign up for it.
That is correct. The headline is misleading, but there is data to backup what the the content claims. That's what I was pointing out.

> it's the job of the government to take over and make them

And how that usually works is that the government offers to pay a very high price to someone willing to doing so.

This isn't all that different as the government then pays 5x for the item.
They seem to be charging enough to pay delivery drivers on top of their outrageous commission so I don't think that's the real expense. Not like they pay for their insurance or even social security!
The virus doesn’t make this distinction. You lose both.
You don’t have to write your name on your property to know it’s yours. You don’t need a (c) symbol and your name to be able to lay claim to ownership.

But if someone takes your property it’s helpful in getting it back if the thing they claim to be theirs has your name on it.

With copyable property, especially where copying might reasonably be expected such as with source code or content on a website, it’s helpful for other parties to know who they should ask if they want to take a copy. (The license may also require that the original owners name be included on copies.)

You can also put the license right there too. Especially if the license is “no license” aka All Rights Reserved.

"I mean are we really going to live in a society where the government pays companies so that their stock price can remain stable, even when demand for their products no longer exists because their customers are all out of work? It seems like a paper economy which essentially only serves to bail out investors."

To the last sentence, yes, a totally blatant wealth transfer scheme. Anecdotally, I think many of those suddenly "engaging" are just playing into the game - getting their dopamine and ego fix by showing dumb gains on nominal investments thinking that they too are wealthy and smarter than the next one :/

Of greater long term concern though is the decreasing transparency into which companies are benefiting disproportionately from government intervention.

These fed manipulations will lead to an even more dysfunctional marketplace down the road because once the water is tainted - we don't know how much, where, or with what exactly. It's impossible to go back to safe and clean drinking water again from this source.

Historically, the real value of the "stock market" has been that of a place for informed decisions based on consistent measurement and analysis of commonly reported variables regarding the well being of corporations. There's a reason a public company must abide by certain rules and regulations to go and remain public...it's so that investors can expect a certain amount of disclosure to actually make decisions on whether or not to invest. While public disclosure requirements have not changed lately (to my knowledge) - there is no way for the feds bailout factors to be decoupled from earnings.

I would argue that aspect, which represents a huge value proposition of the "stock market" to investors of all sizes near and far, is quickly disappearing. I'm not sure what this means for the future.
OTOH, some good plants are as traditional as you can get.

When Marco Polo got to China, they had some plants & animals that had never been seen back in Europe.

When Western botanists followed over the next few centuries, they brought back specimens. Especially medicinal plants before there were drug companies anyway. It would seem there might be something worthwhile about a material which made it into a pharmacopiea over a period of millennia.

Eventually people started trying to give every different thing a different latin name, and when Linneaus got around to Chinese ginseng he dubbed it Panax Ginseng, simply preceding the Chinese name with panacea-derived "Panax" to classify the genus itself as the most highly regarded in the Far East for treating the widest variety of conditions. This must have also been considered relative to all the other plants that were known to the West for millennia themselves.

American ginseng, known to the natives for millennia on that continent, became Panax Quinquefolius.

Literally _plant with five leaves that can cure many things_.
I’d rather have traditional industrial food production with some modifications to improve animal welfare, sanitation, etc...but not for my own sake - it’s for the middle class and poor. Many Americans cannot afford to pay for the inevitably costlier output of decentralized food production. HNers often pay a 2-5x premium for organic local produce at Whole Foods. Great, but let’s not forget that we’re in a minority.

> The incident began when an unnamed man flew a drone over Butterfield Foods, a producer of meat products—including chicken—in the Southern Minnesota town of Butterfield. The man later told a sheriff's deputy he was trying to prove that chickens were being slaughtered because of the pandemic.

Ohkaaayyy...seems like there might be other ways to go about proving that than freaking people out with a drone...

> Two employees approached the man and asked him what he was doing.

Understandable and normal...

> Soon afterwards, someone else shot the drone out of the sky.

What was this person thinking. Geez.

> The authorities arrested 34-year-old Travis Duane Winters and charged him in Watonwan County District Court, The Free Press says. Officials say Winters admitted to shooting the drone. He faces charges of criminal damage to property and reckless discharge of a weapon within city limits.

Man, that's really sad all around. The plant owner is probably either struggling with an image problem or a biological stock problem or possibly both, the employees who tried to take on the situation without firearms lost an opportunity to potentially help employer and drone guy both, drone guy lost his drone, and random drone shooter went to jail. Wow. Talk about needlessly complicating what is already a terrifically stressful pandemic.
Trademark infringement seems like the obvious one. If your add says "Saddleback BBQ", but takes you to a simmiliar product from another provider, then that seems like a clear cut case of infringement.

The contract between grubhub and the restauraunt makes everything more complicated, as there is likely language relating to trademark use, so this might turn into more of a breach of contract suit.

My point was that the way people act in HarzIV is not comparable at all to the way people might act if there was a UBI, mainly for two reasons:

1. a UBI would very likely be unconditional and universal (as long as you are a citizen) so relying on it would carry no social stigma, because everybody gets it.

2. you still get a UBI if you get yourself a job – which means a job gives you extra money. With most current unemployment benefits you could sometimes loose money when you get a job, or you'd just get a tiny bit extra for a lot more work (especially if you are doing demanding physical labour).

This means the incentives are completely and utterly different – and incentives kinda matter when we want to discuss human behaviour.

Benefits often have some fuzzy borders (e.g. 450-Euro-Jobs/Mini-Jobs), but will quickly lead towards "make one Euro, lose on Euro of benefits".

As for ambition, it may have to do with a lower income disparity, where a cashier in a grocery store will certainly not make great money, but will be able to support themselves (median income in Germany is ~2500 Euros, full-time cashiers will make ~2000-2200 Euros). It's also often not a full-time job, but 20-25 hours per week.
I have personally been working on Extension support for Fenix/GeckoView since October 2018 :) It's just a massive project with a lot of moving parts.
No, you are absolutely wrong that things never change. The survey data shows that the public has been steadily increasing its acceptance of the realities of global climate change and what needs to be done about it. That is true even among Republicans.

Instead of lecturing me about the psychological/neurological science (which I do know a fair amount about, though I am sure not as much as you do about the neurological side), you should be looking at how it is that conventional arguments for realities sometimes works. Also, the problem with focusing on first getting people to accept what the psychological and neurological science is that people's psychology and neurology will cause them to reject the scientific truths about the psychology and neurology.

As far as having a strong view on what other people are thinking, everyone does that all the time, including you. For instance, when someone tells you they believe something, you make a judgement as to whether or not they are telling the truth. You do it because you are not crazy.

The reason I think what I do in this case is I have been watching this debate over the years. Traditionally people who disbelieved in global climate change would present arguments it is not occuring (or not dangerous).In the last year or so, this has pretty much stopped, at least in forums like HN, and instead people have presented the argument that renewables are bad for the environment (which is in fact not true).

I assume the reason for this change is that the people who disbelieve in global climate change have realized they can't win the battle arguing directly and have switched to an indirect approach. In fact, there is an name for this, it's called "concern trolling" Furthermore I think it is clear there is an small army of trollers on this subject paid for by business or ideological interests, so I assume this switch in tactics was decided by them. Though of course some people who are not paid trollers might also follow along.
To be fair, the predictive ability of humans also reduced quite a lot.
When it comes to medical solutions I'd think it's more than frowned upon to mislabel things... I've had some bad products from China (and many other places) but largely in consumer spaces where people won't care too much and consequences aren't significant. When it comes to lab or medical equipment, does this practice actually occur? It completely defeats the intent and would lead to a total loss of business, wouldn't it?

I can’t comment on SwiftUI in particular, but I’ve found that a lot of things like this tend to break down in most other cross platform GUI frameworks, falling into a kind of uncanny valley, where the experience ends up being either:

1. Native feeling, but sufficiently inflexible that only very simple, common UI patterns can be implemented

2. An “uncanny valley” native ui, where things are almost native but often feel wrong in subtle ways

I think that’s why Electron has succeeded where so many cross platform UI frameworks failed: it’s so obviously not native that it doesn’t fall into that “uncanny valley” anymore

Your view sounds very jaded to me. Maybe Rust is liked more by C programmers because they prefer its approach, rather than C++'s? Calling it a marketing ploy seems without merit to me.
Yes, what you describe sounds similar to what I'm starting to see everywhere too. Join me in moving to Open/Protocol Cooperativism (vs. today's Platform Capitalism), and Commons based peer production.
