One of the best explanations of it I've seen. Touches on the magic feeling of it (how would having a direct feeling of perception of the causal chain of the entire universe possibly not feel magical and profound) without depending on the reader having had a psychedelic experience to understand.

That state of direct sense of universal causal connection is achievable sober. Not meditation either (though I hear thats one reliable way too). I accidentally "clicked" into it one day while thinking about the border between my skin and inanimate objects. I thought about the idea of my skin being part of me, my control of this reality, and the objects being somehow just entirely separate. It started to seem to make no sense that I can understand and feel in a deep way that my hand is mine but what it touches is something else. I then started thinking about how the hand seems like its mine, but really only seems like that because of nerves etc. connecting it to my brain. That became a thought about how I can even maintain a coherent mind across the space the brain exists in, and soon enough it clicked and I knew it. It was simultaneously a bit exciting, and profoundly calming.

I don't think I had any direct major life improvement from that realization alone however. It took psychedelics to understand how to use that perspective to snap out of anger or rise above anxious fears.

He is a YouTuber who gets views from alarmist predictions. To me that disqualifies him from the debate.

> Nothing that involves exponential growth should disregard total numbers

I have never any said numbers should be disregarded, but the whole picture should be kept in mind.

This is not "trying to paint a better picture", but simply to put things in perspective. For example, by looking only at the current absolute numbers, you ignore that the first cases in Brazil happened at least one month after the ones in Europe. In other words, we are now where Europe was a month ago, i.e. still growing in cases.

> measures against the spread are being haphazardly removed or fought against by the Federal Government

Can you cite one? All control measures in Brazil have been defined by Governors and Mayors, as ruled by the Supreme Court. If they're been lifted, it's definitely not being done by the Federal Government.
Careful with cook times if going lower than 130F (IIRC). I don't know the right numbers offhand, but you need to watch out at those temperatures. You might be safe under an hour but I'm not sure.

One solution to having to broil them for too long might be to finish your sous vide cook, then chill them in an ice bath, and only broil once cold. That way the lower meat temp protects against the broiler overcooking the inside.

Yeah, good point, that's certainly an advantage.

Coincidentally(?) those comments stop in the year 2000, when the Kursk put a dent in HTP enthusiasm. For a while at least.

Not that I have any good solution either. Seems all high performance liquid rocket fuels have some nasty downsides.

For small scale applications N2O + some light hydrocarbon like propane or ethane could be interesting. But that seems to be quite immature, so could be some showstoppers ahead in that path.
They appropriated tempura from the Portuguese too. Everyone has appropriated from China. Otherwise you wouldn't be allowed to have a pet dog, or eat pork.

This is one of the better tech articles I've seen on here recently. The analysis of why Python vs. node ecosystems vary in dependency depth and breadth is good food for thought. Python has long been a "batteries" included language whereas node has not. Node makes it easy to publish packages whereas my experience with python is that it is quite difficult to get a handle on doing PyPI (versus Anaconda!) the right way. Publishing wheels versus source is confusing and it took me a while to understand the nuances. There's also the idea of supporting python2 vs python3, which people from different quarters will criticize no matter what approach you take.

Publishing binaries on Python is also difficult and a highly skilled endeavor requiring additional knowledge of compiling shared objects, docker, and the baroque manylinux concept. Once you have a system down, it becomes easy, but that took me about 6-12 months of accepting increasingly complex requirements before I could get a decent handle on it. I have not tried publishing binaries on npm so I can't say what the relative experience is.

Is mimesis really the issue here? The imagination/appropriation problem is only one if one assumes the reader is naively taking the author's world for truth. If a critical reader approaches a story as revealing the author as well as the characters, a story that falls short of perfect fidelity can still be entertaining, and may even be edifying.

There are times I'm glad I left health science/biology/medicine as a field and it's interesting to watch people slowly realize just how badly structured the entire human health field is organized (from academic research to research hospitals to profit hospitals to world health organizations) and how all the incentives are messed up.

The closer you get in biology to human health, the more ego, tribalism, and assholery you have to deal with. Something about "saving lives" really brings out the intelligent jerks and the sharks.

As a contrast, I enjoy working in computing so much more. The experiments people run are replicable, the code compiles, and people (in general) are far less egotistical and arrogant (still plenty of sharks, though).

I've watched enough major paradigm shifts in my own fields to know that embracing humility, admitting your own ignorance, and being open to new ideas is key to the furtherment of science.

,,people should not be walking around with masks''

What Fauci was telling to people is not science. I was wearing my N100 masks when I had the chance, because I hadn't seen any evidence of masks making the coronavirus more infectious, but much evidence to the contrary. The whole anti-mask propaganda made it hard to me to trust scientific leaders, and even some papers at this point.

but some industries clearly needs economies of scale in order to provide the consumer with cheaper and better products.

Can you truly argue just because a firm is large they are no longer allowed to offer the same product for cheaper simply because they have a strong foothold in distribution?
By now we have learned that masks + distancing is enough to stop this (Drive R0 below 1, it will die out in time.) If we were serious about doing these things the cases--and deaths--would be prevented, not merely postponed.

Ha, right, perhaps I hallucinated separately the image and the emotion that it is beautiful. My guess (just a guess) is that the images were themselves generated by the parts of the brain that register beauty, and so were beautiful by definition. If that's not true, I suspect that if you sat a large sample of people to look at these images, most would agree they were beautiful.

Communism is known for economically collapsing on itself, that's not very efficient or productive.
The main problem youi'll have with that is that many people assume that the value of a human life is infinite and we must expend all resources possible to save individuals. Neither of those makes for good economics, so folks who include economics and balanced risk into their equations often conflict with folks who want to take the "safest possible action with respect to human life".

Heh... I was once very deep into Communist/Antifa culture... so don't assume.

Antifa considers capitalist governments as fascist. They consider fascism to be violent in and of itself and violent means to overthrow fascism is ergo justified. They consider any organization that serves to protect, serve or enforce a fascist government (police, fd, etc) as fascist and that they should also be violently opposed.

Whereas if you look at older software or OS GUIs, the simplicity is astounding while still having more crashes. The point being that despite the bad rap that frontend dev gets, it’s actually made progress on the UI development front that is pretty much unrecognized.

> some industries clearly needs economies of scale in order to provide the consumer with cheaper and better products

This isn't an economy of scale.

The component that has scale is distribution. A third-party seller selling through Amazon gets those advantages the same as Amazon. What's different is the sourcing and manufacturing of the product.

Amazon has an edge. But it's not one of economies of scale.
I guess I am on the “left”, and my view throughout this thing has been “do what the experts say we should, while maintaining a diversity of expert views.” This is also the vibe I get from most of my “left” friends. Moreover, Europe has largely followed its experts’ advice —- and with a few exceptions they’ve largely brought cases under control, so it’s not like the advice was bad.

This “pox on both houses” post, in which you try to blame both sides equally (while also ignoring the fact that only one controls the executive branch of the Federal government), does not comport with my lived reality.

It's not about being scaled. It's about using your scale in one place to force scaling in another. If Amazon provides a marketplace, where people pay them to list and sell products, then using the strong position of that marketplace product to then leverage and scale up their own products is potentially troublesome.

"Many retailers reserve some of their best shelves paces for their private label products"

A key difference is that in those situations (a grocery store, for example), the marketplace owners have already purchased all the products on the shelves. It's the grocery store's decision to choose what and how the products that they have paid for are presented to customers.

This is not a hundred-percent comparison, of course, but it came to mind in the last number of weeks as this Amazon topic has come up.

The main problem is that current antitrust law doesn't clearly prohibit anti-competitive behavior like this. Modern antitrust law has largely been created by judges (often without any economic training) interpreting early 20th century laws. This is a great summary of how regulations could be adapted to stop this sort of activity: https://www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/e.710.Khan.805_zuvfyyeh.p...

In short, competition needs to be increased (i.e. more platforms). For example, Amazon wouldn't be able to pull so many shenanigans if users could export all shopping data to jet.com and easily shop on multiple platforms.

The other solution is updated regulations that follow in the footsteps of historical frameworks of antitrust in industries like utilities where it's accepted that monopolies are efficient, but strict measures are put in place to limit abusing market power.

What "inconvenient findings" are you referring to?

To quote the 538 link: "The two autopsy reports aren’t actually all that different in their conclusions." So you can't be referring to this autopsy report, right?

Regarding "ideological battlefield", to quote the SciAm editorial:

What is your point about the capitalization of "white" and "Black"?

We often if not nearly always use capital letters for ethnic groups. We write "Hispanic Americans" and "Latino Americans" and "Native Americans". The Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans uses "African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans)" shows about a 50-50 split between "black American" and "Black Americans." We also write "Hispanic", and "Creole" and "Cajuns". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Americans shows "White Americans", "White Hispanics", and "White" when referring to "a racial or ethnic group of Americans who identify as and are perceived to be white people".

While my spot check of "White Supremacy", with that capitalization, is not used on Wikipedia, outside of titles. The strong preference is instead for "white supremacy".

Your point is surely not that white supremacists should be considered an ethnic group, so what's your actual point?
"Walls in" is what such a policy would be referred to as

I don't think even the ProPublica article is accusing them of this.

I think applying to cops something along the lines of what we have for professional engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. could be a solution.

All cops nationally would be required to have a license from this organization in order to do some "reserved acts", like arresting someone, using force, firing a taser, etc. Any complaint about cops would be evaluated by this organization, and could result in the suspension / revocation of their license. There would be a strong emphasis on deontology, and the organization's explicit mission would be to protect the public.

This would probably have a similar effect overall to what you're describing, but it'd be more of a whitelist than a blacklist.
