I would argue a decent metric is human hours. For example, if a safety protocol costs n people x hours in return for saving y lives, then we can strike a balance. In general I'd argue that n * x ~= y * (human life expectancy in hours).

You could apply this to things like airport security and check how the sum of all the time passenger spend in line compares to the lives saved. My guess is especially in the airport example the lines have taken more human life than terrorists.

So this is not just about what is good for you, but instead what is good for the community.

For example, having you out of quarantine early might be good for you, but it will definitely not be good for many others.

This is way worse than when the census survey for median incomes was quietly changed a few years ago to make it seem like things were getting better [1]. This makes me question if the fault is with the BLS survey itself, or with the people reporting on the data.

The notion that you can ever sell at the absolute ideal time is a fantasy. The market typically takes a while to reflect fundamental change and does so gradually over time.

Look at Nokia for example. From the day the iPhone was announced you could have sold at almost any time in the next 1.5 years and come out ahead vs acting immediately. Initially the market thought the iPhone was positive for Nokia, it took that long for people to realize it would be their demise.
Upvoted you since you probably didn’t know and I didn’t want to see you buried for not knowing something, but Jobs did talk about how iPhones were a spin-off from an internal tablet project. At some point Apple realized that the tech they were developing for tablets would also work really well in a phone, and they shifted priorities to making a phone first.

As I understand it, a semi regular dinner guest that worked at Microsoft, the husband of his wife’s friend or something like that, came around with a Windows tablet PC after they hit the market and was talking about how great it was and Apple didn’t have anything like this. Jobs saw it for the crap it was (touchscreen Windows was pretty bad back then) and to shut this guy up, put together a team at Apple to work on developing tablets. This was the project that would eventually spawn iPhones and later, iPads.
Sad this was flagged. If an accident happened, and your right hand were severed, would you still claim you were "too busy" to deal with it? You wouldn't respond with "Oh you don't understand, I have kids!" or some ad hominem on leisure time among unemployed Gen Z.

In reality, you have a mental list of things you care about. It's fair to say the things you spent time on you cared about more than the things you didn't.

One thing you cared about more: reading hacker news.

What would be cool is crowd-sourced chapters for the videos. Anyone can create a chapter marker, and people can downvote/flag those chapter markers if they're irrelevant.

Then you would have chapters so you could avoid the waffley "please like/subscribe" begging and longwinded intros that don't get to the main part of the video.

Youtube would still be able to embed their ads whenever they want.

Knowledge work should get better with age compared to physical labor, so there may be around 2 decades on the table (married at 25 vs 45) that you are reallocating from your retired years into your prime ones, leaving upwards of 50 years to raise a family.

It may even make being a healthy octogenarian a better wind-down experience compared to the current timeline for knowledge workers in place.

Hmm, when only one nation-state had atomic weapons, they were used. When two nation-states had them, conflict was measured in proxy wars and influence.

Still, the accidental detonation of atomic weapons is significant, so your point holds true.
What a strange argument to make. What if next year we discover anyone that is infected with the current covid all drops dead after a year of infection? We have no idea how the future is going to unfold so let’s all do random things?
FWIW, blood clotting, strokes, etc are known complications of pathological cytokine release syndrome, and we see these same symptoms occurring in other diseases like Influenza.

Unfortunately there is a huge faction of people who seek to selectively represent facts to promulgate the narrative that SARS-CoV-2 is unusually dangerous, which as far as I can tell is just completely false.

SARS-2 is a great spreader and a very poor killer. Those interested in learning about hoe it spreads might find some of the research findings around interferon-mediated early course immunosuppression interesting. IMO it is a plausible mechanism for why SARS-2 exhibits PRE-symptomatic spread (not asymptomatic).

BTW the above (great spreader, with outcomes overwhelmingly positive) is precisely why I think SARS-2 was the worst possible candidate to respond to with a “lockdown”. It really saddens me to see destructive and unethical measures paraded as “common sense”, when they’re anything but. [/rant]

Yeah, they'd messed with a clunky tablet for years. Then they finally developed a glass display that scrolled with touch and thought, "This would be better in a phone." I don't know if that really qualifies the iPhone as a "spinoff" of the Folio, or the Folio as even a predecessor to the iPad.
> Lieber stated that "he was never asked to participate in the Thousand Talents Program", adding that "he 'wasn't sure' how China categorized him." The DOJ believes that Lieber's statement was false, because an intercepted email dated June 27, 2012, from Wuhan University of Technology ("WUT") included a contract for Lieber to sign.

I wonder what other evidence they have here, eg him actually receiving funds from them ... if a Chinese university sends you a recruiting email and it goes to your spam folder, and then you say you have no affiliation with them, can you be indicted for that based on an "intercepted email"? One would hope not!

That's... Not really a fair comparison. Nvidia didn't introduce their Enterprise line until 2010, so you're comparing a gaming card to a professional card. Nvidia stock has certainly gone up many multiples of what a geforce costs.
Also leads to undesireable conclusions. If the metric is minimize death, best way to achieve this is kill everyone alive today, or at least sterilize them. Everyone alive today will die someday, guaranteed. If they do not have any kids, there will be consequently be no further deaths. Same outcome for all sentient life. If minimizing suffering is the ultimate meteric, then the optimal solution is elimination of all sentient life.

The pandemic could be over if 100% of the population wears them for just 2 months. That's a way better deal than what the mask averse are going to give us which is 12-15months and probably a few million more US lives over that timespan.
> It's not that I love plastic, it's just the optimal choice for food packaging now. Saying "I don't use plastic spoons" while following current consumption standards makes no dent whatsoever.

IMO the value is not only in the concrete measures taken (e.g. using wooden spoons) but in the overall trend. We have the movement away from plastic right now and while some single actions or policies may only have a negligible effect there is a huge value in the big picture: Research for alternative materials, lots of companies and consumers trying to figure our ways to reduce waste and plastic usage. And boom, after a few years or decades we might have a plastic free future where everyone consumes less and close to 100% of materials are recycled.

Could we search for alternatives without banning single-use plastic bags? Probably yes but the workings of society are messy and not always rational so better take the path that actually works.

> remove bias from data,

I wonder if this is really a possible goal. Might it not be better to be aware of the impossibility of true objectivity, and decide to be strongly opinionated in favor of certain values? Certainly if a machine learning model not only predicts something but acts as an actual agent in the world to affect some goal, it becomes impossible to claim pure objectivity, as the AI itself now is acting to change the world in pursuit of that goal.

I mean, it's hard to argue purely "objectively" that cruelty , totalitarianism and power centralization are "wrong". Any statement about them eventually comes to a moral argument, which means that AI researchers ultimately have to take responsibility themselves for being opinionated moral agents.

"Remove bias" could just be passing the buck for support for entrenching the status quo or worse. Things like democracy, egalitarianism, freedom of thought and opportunity don't just spring up spontaneously, they were hard to fight for and win.
> Then everyone is on even footing and you don’t get an abusive power imbalance.

This doesn't hold up to even a first test using a real-world example.

Consider making guns free. Even if everyone owned an identical gun with identical ammo (an asburdly artificial situation to begin with), not everyone can use a gun equally effectively.

Apply it now to crowds. If everyone owns the same gun, it takes far fewer people to band together and take physical control of a certain area. Even an individual with that same gun is effectively powerless again even two others: to kill one is to be certainly killed by the other.

Now swap the guns with fighter jets, zero-day exploits, bioweapons, fame, religious leadership, or any other form of power.

There is seemingly no scenario where your axiom seems to hold up, even in contrived circumstances.

From what I've seen you can play the racism, gender or (in a lesser extend) religion card. That is because in that case you're clearly part of a group - and often a minority. It is however unclear if the ones who feel offended are also a minority within that group (but does that matter?).

In other cases that is less clear, but I've also not seen many people offended for other reasons than the three I mentioned.
Also, how many elderly people have died due to flatten the curve procedures that sent positive cases back to nursing homes to free up hospital beds for younger patients? An enormous percentage of the US deaths were nursing home occupants. It is precisely the lockdown procedures that have resulted in such high death rates. This is the huge uncovered scandal of the pandemic response.
This is a good comment, but I suggest you make some paragraphs! It's a bit hard to parse atm.

To add on to what you said, many academics pursue knowledge for its own sake. In many cases, especially in theory, the value of new knowledge may not be known at the time of its discovery.

For example, the multi armed bandit problem was formalized by Herbert Robbins in the 50s. It was almost universal declared a negative result. Now, bandit algorithms are classified as some of the most commercially succesful applications of machine learning algorithms (ad placement, recommendation, experimental design), and the corresponding techniques used in the formal analysis of bandit algorithms are widely used in 'non-bandit' settings (see ICML's test of time award this year).

It always saddens me to see negative comments about academics & ignorance about 'the point' of academia.
All historical instances of mass murder were wrong. It's a key delineation. BLM is a response to mass incarceration and disproportionate killings by the legal system. Notably, they don't seem interested in crossing the line into mass killings; they want less killings. Thus, the jump to Maoism from Marxism is overwrought.

I'd argue that a 40% jobless rate is a major structural problem.

> A year ago, my colleagues and I created the Radical AI Network, building on the work of those who came before us. The group is inspired by Black feminist scholar Angela Davis’s observation that “radical simply means ‘grasping things at the root’”, and that the root problem is that power is distributed unevenly.

I'm a bit uncomfortable with this kind of political posturing being published in Nature, the preeminent science journal. It seems the exact wrong forum for it.

It's easy to dodge the questions and act morally superior when you don't personally have to make the hard decisions or accept responsibility for the consequences. Others don't have that luxury.
No way. Sure you could get it down to a few cases, but compliance is never 100% and it would flare up very quickly.

The only things masks do is slow the spread (which is obviously a good thing for hospitals). If we don't get a vaccine we'll be maintaining some sort of protection (masks, distancing) but every single person will be infected eventually.
