He would be showing a modicum of Skin in the Game if he actually went to infect himself and those close to him with the virus before encouraging others to normalize such a risky experiment.

He is not just "raising awareness" of the idea of variolation. His writing was already trying to argue that government could try a program where volunteers would get paid to be infected.

When asked "if you think this is a good idea, why don't you do it yourself?" he responded with something along the lines of "there is no counterparty to bet with me on it, so what is the point?" Isn't that the answer of someone completely oblivious to the idea of SITG?

Boeing will survive on the backs of the government, but GE is going to have to do a lot more to survive this. Every time people mentioned that GE is going belly up they said: no, GE is still the leader in aviation engines. Also, GE has billions of dollars in loans that need to be repaid, and they were counting on selling some of their business to make the payments. Some people thought that they were in great shape for "recovery".
The implication of the title, that rural cities in general have overtaken NYC isn't necessarily backed up by the data, unless it can be shown to be a pattern in a huge number of rural cities, such the the combined population of those reaches a level of statistical significance. The data in the NYT article also shows more rural cities that have lower case rates than NYC.

The more likely scenario is that these rural cities with higher case rates than NYC represent their own individual outbreaks of the pandemic. That might become more of a pattern, especially as shelter-in-place restrictions are increasingly lifted, but it's too early to make that prediction.
> SO we are to be ruled by experts?

There's a reason people in power have advisors, and it isn't just to rubber-stamp things.

Back in the old days, FDR had a board of experts to advise him on things. He listened to them. Governments also have a professional civil service, full of people who don't rule but who are in contact with those who do, and who know enough to give good advice.

So the question isn't whether we have a technocracy or a democratic system totally unconnected to reality. It's how well-advised our democratically elected leaders are.

One thing stood out to me, from reading the post and the HN discussion. I think there's a real distinction to be made between web pages and web applications. HN seems to have a bias against web applications which is probably unfair.

Most web developers today do not set out to build web pages. They start with full-on experiences they would like to bring to users, and the web stack is their tool of choice in doing so. There is nothing wrong with this! And different considerations apply in the development of such applications versus a web page.

Philosophically, SourceHut is about non-browser-based workflows (e.g. using email for merge requests). Since SourceHut users do far less of their SourceHut-related work on the actual website, SourceHut can afford to take a web page approach. GitHub, in contrast, focuses on browser-based workflows. They actually do a pretty great job at it - and this is something that they can do only because they take a web application approach. I like their keyboard shortcuts, for example, but these would be difficult (impossible?) to implement on a simple HTML page.

No single user can say that one approach is right and the other is wrong. All they can do is assert preferences. At the end of the day, traffic does the talking.

But thinking in terms of web pages vs. web applications makes things like this:

> Many companies have written checks with an uncomfortable number of zeroes on them to get the job done.

more understandable.
> Congress should revoke immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, for any online community the size of YouTube that imposes their own "code of conduct" independent of US law.

But as I understand it, the "2 systems" has to do with economic and political governance. I see nothing in those laws about changing the financial or economic systems of the country that would lead businesses to gulp and say no thank you?
It is, but on a very subtle level. Since there are much less senior positions then non senior (it is a pyramide) there are basically less jobs for older (more senior people). This gets a bit compensated that over time each batch more ppl study CS (although there might have been a bulk 20 years ago, so not sure....) But if the hiring/available position per age group pyramide is narrower than the age distribution for developers, that it is leading to discrimination (although as mentioned very subtle, and with the best definsible intentions)
The CCP can now afford to sacrifice HK, their economy is now much larger than it was in 97.
> but I think less air travel would in many ways be a good thing for the world.

This seems overly myopic to me. Aviation accounts for at most 2% of global juman CO2 emissions during normal years. I think you could come up with dozens of arguments for why it’s a net good. For example, tourism has income allows small island nations to better financially prepare for rising sea levels far in excess of aviations contribution to sea level rise. Not only that, but travel exposes citizens of wealthy nations to the real living conditions of people in developing nations, which can have a number of positive political effects.
For me it seems like Google voice typing is getting worse and worse. It capitalizes random Words in a sentence Like this. It specifically ignores the word "o'clock".

"what a week today has been"
You are more comfortable with the government regulating what kind of trolling is legal (an actual, on its face violation of the 1st Amendment), than you are with YouTube removing a gore video for violating their community guidelines?

The deal with using icon-only approaches is to make sure that we use standardized icons, like ISO icons: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB400001:en

It did not end well.

I write about using "clichés" here: https://medium.com/chrismarshallny/the-road-most-traveled-by...
Right but it seemed like it didn't work metaphorically because a pretty important part of the definition -- something present every time I saw the term used -- is that you're in debt to someone else, usually with the connotation of them being able to take the collateralized asset. Yet there was no sense in which that relationship would apply to Boeing and Airbus.

Every other time someone was behind, they were just "behind" -- never saw that prompt the use of a legalistic French term the way that "being in arrears" did.

Edit: O...kay, getting some pushback on this. Let me try to explain with another analogy.

Let's say I saw a comment that read, "He got involved in human trafficking because he has a mortgage."

I had only ever seen "mortgage" used to referred to a secured loan for a home.

So I'd interpret the statement to mean, "he has a big debt he wants to pay and needs money and that motivated him to do slimy things for it."

But let's further say I had specific knowledge that that guy had paid off his home loan years ago. Then I'd be confused and say so, "uh, what? He doesn't even have a mortgage."

Then a bunch of people respond to say, "oh, duh, 'mortgage' comes from the French 'death pledge'[1] -- here they were talking about how he had pledged his life to serve the cartels on pain of death." "Oh, yeah, man, I use 'mortgage' all the time to refer to a blood oath."

That ... would definitely be news to me. Sure -- I wasn't aware of people who had used it the other way. But do you see why I would never have abstracted "mortgage" to refer to death pledges in general, even with great abstraction skills?

Note: "Mortgage", to my knowledge, is not used in English in this other way -- I'm just conveying the sense of surprise there to learn that, had it actually been true.

Meh. I have never heard of him before, but he has a clearly expressed idea which isn't completely unreasonable. I evaluated the idea on its own merits, and that's where I found it lacking. The man matters nothing to me, only his idea.

I submit that this is the only reasonable way of evaluating ideas. We can't all be perfect for all time in history.

Edit. Having now read your link, I am less interested in following his blog, but my analysis of his proposal is unchanged knowing more about him.
So the argument against UBI is that capitalists are greedy? But that is the problem UBI is supposed to solve.

You have a strawman situation because it comes from the obvious side of the aisle who doesn't want UBI, but ignores the fact that with UBI would come a motley of other regulations against exactly this type of predatory capitalism that created the need for UBI in the first place.

Don't worry, if UBI gains steam; nobody will forget what caused it and corporate shareholders won't be able to wiggle themselves free.
Even 100 year old buildings have a craftsmanship about them that is gone in modern stick frame apartments. I wonder if we would ever see a real art deco building again, with all the polish and craftsmanship, and not something that's just art deco 'style' and severely diluted into a cheap generic building, but the real deal. Maybe there just aren't enough people trained in those stone working skills anymore. Maybe no one is willing to pay for nicer things.

I followed you in the mid-80s, and one thing that bugs me is the lack of 'geeks' in coding these days. What used to be a passion you could make a career, is now a 9-to-5 shuffle for a lot of people. Seems like there's as many coders that are 'just in it for the money' as there are stock brokers. I guess that's to be expected with the growth of the industry over the years, but I still find it sad.

Boeing is the only American commercial transport jet manufacturer based in the US. The US politically would never allow the loss of this - whether it be “Boeing” or some new named thing that’s basically the same. For pro-global politicians it would be a major signal of failure of American industry, for “America first” isolationists it’s an obvious problem.
Why developers produce absolute garbage code
No, and that's the point. The 757 is already a more capable airframe, for a start, and there's a lot more leeway for the same kinds of modernizations applied to the 737 before getting in trouble. Obvious example, more room under the wings, so you can use newer, larger, more quiet and efficient engines without running out of space and having to resort to the kind of CG-shifting "put the engine in front of the wing" hack that necessitated MCAS and doomed the MAX.
This seems to be happening at a local state employer. Basically, it's a way to extract some dollars from the feds and put it in the state's coffers. Not sure how to feel about that, or if it really matters.

Definitely not a revolutionary framework or tech, but for its use cases it does work.

The GPU is a whole separate computer, running code independently, with its own clock scaling and power management. Having two separate things that can break is more complexity than one thing that can break. And having to have the two communicate in order to do delicate procedures like waking from sleep increases complexity dramatically.

Also, on many Macs, it's actually three separate things. There is the CPU, the integrated GPU, and the discrete GPU. The system switches between the two GPUs dynamically based on load and whether the system is plugged in.

A lot of Boeing's current dilemma is the failure of executive management. A commonly written story is that the competent executives at Boeing, who were focused on solid engineering, were pushed aside by the political McDonnell Douglas executives.

McDonnell Douglas was purchased almost 25 years ago, so perhaps it may be a little unfair to ascribe all of Boeing's current problems to that one event. Still, as an engineer, I can't help but notice executive management operate in similar politically-bent ways at some tech companies I've worked at.
