I was hungry and not fed, cold and not clothed ( * ). Living behind the Iron Curtain. And because of all those guns that America kept making, those warships she kept launching and rockets she kept firing, the Iron Curtain eventually fell, and I'm not hungry and cold anymore.

( * ) I was not literally hungry, but our food options were extremely limited. Clothes the same. And shoes. As for cold, that I was. Many, many cold winter nights with no heating and oh, so many times, no electricity.
This was my first thought as well. It must have been an oversight on someone’s part. Maybe infrastructure changes due to the shift to work remotely made it possible to access.

That's another axis of the spectrum of such discussions. I'm not just talking about different forms of exercise, though. For me, just the feeling of inhabiting my body is vaguely uncomfortable much of the time, and significant exertion usually heightens that discomfort, in addition to often making me feel lethargic for the rest of the day and occasionally leaving me with an injury that I don't notice until the next day (when this happens, it typically takes days or weeks to fully heal). In my case, I suspect that it's a sensory processing abnormality that makes it extremely difficult for me to tell when I'm pushing any given joint/muscle/organ too far.

"Legally"

Not carrying ID can actually get you into trouble in California when performing some activities that don't even require a license. See for example this interesting discussion on someone who was pulled over by the police, while bicycling and not carrying ID:

https://www.bicyclelaw.com/do-cyclists-need-to-show-a-driver....

The Court also concluded that while McKay had verbally identified himself, the officer has the discretion whether to accept the verbal identification, and noted “Here, of course, defendant was not arrested merely because he failed to produce a license. He was arrested because he violated the Vehicle Code. At that point, the need to obtain reliable evidence of identification and ensure compliance with a promise to appear is equally great for a bicyclist as for a driver of a motorized vehicle. Although only the latter is obligated to have a license in his or her possession at all times while driving on the road (§ 12951, subd. (a)), both are required to produce satisfactory evidence of identity for examination when stopped for a violation of the law.” McKay, 625.

Disagree, respectfully. As long as you are declaring information about yourself that is true (via photo, summary, links to social media, blogs, etc), then you are talking about yourself as a 'culture', the way companies talk about their 'culture'.

If a company likes (or doesn't care) that you have a child in your photo (as in this instance), that is one step closer to a culture match. If they dislike it (legally or not), why even bother interviewing? Lots of companies out there -- and from there perspective, lots of employees.

In other words, assuming that what you share is important to you (your children, family status, opinions, blue hair color), and they like or see no conflict with it, steps are being made to form a long-lasting mutually-beneficial relationship.

Why go through the stress of pretending you're some clone of the way 'professional' imagery was touted in the 1950s-1980s (suit, shaved face, short hair, child-less, family-less, career accomplishments only) when you are clearly going to have to get to know your colleagues, spend 40+ hours a week with them (or on Zoom, sigh...), only to discover later that you are really the odd one out.

If we want to give lip service to 'diversity', it will only get us so far. Granted, every company is different, and every person is different. Putting a pic of one's children on LinkedIn may not be for everyone, but it's a solid move in my opinion.

In many of my workplaces, I've had to deal with dogs, hear about endless dog stories, see pictures of dogs on desks, and be 'forced' to pretend that dog memes are 'so cute' on Slack. Overtime, I've learned to just accept it. At first, it seemed weird and out of place at work (to me), but after ten years of it, I've become more tolerant about it. To dog people (you know who you are), their dogs are incredibly important to them. I may not ever want to own a small yapping dog, but I can appreciate more now that to those that do, it's a big part of their life. Near as I can tell, it enhances their life and doesn't detract from the quality and commitment of their work anymore than children do for dads and moms, or ultimate frisbee does for college students.

> Without shutting down it wouldn't be amortized.

Huh? No it wouldn't. Read my other comments in the thread, the point is that after it works its way through the population, the set of SARS-CoV-2-naive individuals becomes dominated by new entrants to the world (babies/toddlers), who don't die from COVID-19.

So over a period of 5 years, the average yearly death will be this year's deaths / 5. That doesn't hold in the same way for the Flu since it does kill babies.

> You'd effectively have millions of additional deaths from lack of hospital capacity

This is just false. I can't really debunk it because you didn't make an actual argument, so let's leave it at that.

> And additionally you'd have millions of more people with debilitating complications from all causes.

Huh? Are you saying complications from COVID-19 itself, or are you saying non-covid reasons which would get neglected due to lack of medical care?

> That's absolute insanity. You're devaluing life. Stop it. It's frankly scary to think you're out there.

No, I actually value life, which is why I understand how precious it is, and what a cruel thing it is to do to subject an entire planet to a regime of isolation and fear. As I've said elsewhere in this thread, I also believe that lockdown leads to more mortality than doing nothing, so even if you don't care about wellbeing and just want to myopically look at lives saved, I'm arguing that lockdown is worse on both counts.

Neither -- I'm not comparing citizens and corporations. I'm simply saying that it's naive to expect a company to voluntarily pay more taxes than is required. They will not pay more taxes than required until the laws are changed.

Are you white? Robin DeAngelo defines you as evil for the color of your skin. You are fundamentally evil for you skin color. You must atone for your skin color for as long as you live. You cannot be forgiven for the sin of your skin color. You may not disagree. You may not consider this over-generalization as bad, even if it is a total over generalization. Ignore class entirely, as if it has nothing to do with how to fix the problem.

You are not to critically analyze, and you aren't supposed to think.

No the problem is your skin color and only that.

She is a divider and contemptible. What's so funny is how she's a white woman who can make broad brushstrokes but other whites cannot.

This is the racism of Robin DeAngelo and those that
speak like her. She's made a ton of money off being a racist and a bigot. But she's white, so I guess she gets to make money? There's some irony there.

And I mean the word "racism" in its plain sense, not in whatever racist redefinition of the word racism that excuses racism on the basis of race.

The problem is solved by uniting against evil, where ever it may be, and not this trash.

> How can the tax ever be worse than a sale?

For one thing, sales taxes are on revenues rather than profits (because the entire price is profit to somebody, and otherwise you're giving incentive to corporate shell games again), and that means the tax could exceed the profit to the entity making the decision.

Also, any non-zero profits aren't necessarily better than the alternative, because the alternative is to deploy the same capital somewhere else. Your factory is producing as many widgets as it can for a unit cost of $5, France was paying $10, now with tax you're only seeing $7.50 of that, but people in Oregon (no sales tax) would pay $9.75 so it's now more profitable to sell to them instead. Or you could stop making widgets entirely and turn your factory into condos if that's now more profitable. For that to make sense the profit from widgets doesn't have to be zero, only less than what you can get from doing something else.

Meanwhile if the customer in France still wants the widget, they can get it, but they've got to pay enough so that the after-tax price is still ~$10. So in that case the company keeps making widgets and selling them to France but it's the customer eating the tax.

The Several States have a degree of sovereignty that is incompatible with centralized national ID. One solution is to standardize the format, so that cooperation like this is more seamless without being imposed from on high; that's a strategy that has worked well for other things.

Also here in Canada, we too have separate ID for each province and territory, and separate health insurance ID too.

I think given the current political climate, where the far left is generally critical of the concept of citizenship altogether (see current proposals to allow non-citizen voting in federal elections, decriminalize illegal border crossings, etc.), the opposition of just that one political subculture would be enough to scuttle any attempt. Add on to that the concerns of lawful gun owners, ordinary people who do not want to be identified to the Federal government except for the purposes of taxes and social security, and the huge number of people who are basically okay with the status quo (myself included), and national ID looks like a non-starter.
this is about shaping the electorate and finding more people to deport. nothing good ever comes from this admin.

> the fact that the ministers are not allowed to run the show is such a blessing.

To be fair though, there's nothing stopping government from ignoring another government agency and doing their own thing, that's what basically happened in Denmark and Norway, where their governments enacted stricter measures than their own public health agencies recommended.

The Swedish government could have done that, but it's currently a weak coalition government, which is why they adopted a more passive role.

> if we had a decade where there just happened to not be any major pandemics

In what I'm sure is a just a super coincidence, the past couple of flu seasons were extremely mild in Sweden, compared to neighbouring Denmark and Norway, which had normal flu seasons instead. I saw a twitter thread that talked about it in terms of brushfires and kindling. Dehumanizing, sure, but also pretty damn accurate:

But that's on average. There are many instances and you can have your own. Non-banned users can't amplify message like they could on Twitter, but they can't be silenced either.
It looks like they're using Oxford nanopore and PacBio sequencing technologies for the long reads. These are two up-and-coming sequencing technologies focused on extremely long reads. My understanding of both is that their error rates on individual base pairs are too high to reliably determine the actual sequence on their own (something like 15% error rates). Typically the long reads from these technologies are used as a "scaffold" to resolve the large-scale structure of a DNA sequence, while another sequencing technology, usually Illumina, is used to resolve the actual sequence. (Illumina produces short reads, but it produces a lot of them, and the error rate is much lower, about 1%-5%.) In addition, since PacBio and Oxford Nanopore are very different technologies, I'm guessing that they probably have different "error profiles", so they probably partially cover for each others' deficiencies when you use both of them at the same time.

Note: Don't take any of the specific numbers above as gospel. These technologies develop extremely quickly, so it's quite likely that my knowledge of typical error rates is out of date.

In any case, here's the relevant quote from the original link (to phys.org), before it was changed to the less technical press release, which doesn't mention any specific technologies used:

"The new project built on that effort, combining nanopore sequencing with other sequencing technologies from PacBio and Illumina, and optical maps from BioNano Genomics. Using these technologies, the team produced a whole-genome assembly that exceeds all prior human genome assemblies in terms of continuity, completeness, and accuracy, even surpassing the current human reference genome by some metrics."

i think the major airlines all exist under the "too big to fail" umbrella, and will be bailed out by the goverment in some fashion before they actually collapse.

however, as long as they can cut expenses by laying off staff with no consequences, they're probably safe. previous tough times for airlines haven't been in quite the same situation where they can just cut expenses by cutting flights. i'd be more worried about the airports than the airlines - at some point, they're going to have a big backlog of fixed non-staff expenses that are no longer being covered by ramp fees.
1. Most want cheap foreign labour via H1b Visas which is currently more of a democrat thing (it's republican thing too but Trump is avoiding that right now). They claim they like diversity but it's actually just importing H1B visas who basically get exploited by the companies because if they don't over perform, then they don't get promoted and therefore get fired leading them to get deported back. This is also why these companies have the "get promoted every 1-2 years or you are fired".

2. Most don't publicly support GOP because they don't want to get cancelled.

State IDs (including Drivers Licenses, which are State IDs conjoined with permission to drive certain classes of vehicles on public roads) absolutely are intended as ID, and the function of drivers licenses as drivers licenses presupposes them functioning first as ID, since it can’t establish that you have permission to drive if it can't establish that you are the person it refers to.

Every morning M-F, TSA publishes daily traveler numbers for the previous day(s):

https://www.tsa.gov/coronavirus/passenger-throughput

It’s a good snapshot of the state of air travel in the US. Yesterday’s volume was 22% of the same date a year earlier (July 14, 2019) and I expect volume may fall below 20% next week as the virus surge causes marginal travel plans to be cancelled.

The low point in absolute travelers was April 14 when 87k people flew, less than 4% (!) of the previous year’s 2.2 million.
