I'm not necessarily doubting you but can you point to some specific examples re: "environmental destruction within the EU"?

Also: Germany watering down CO2 emission rules seems to have more to do with Germany's power within the EU and less with the gravitational pull of the European market to warp the behavior of non-eu entities (which this Wiki article is about)
> These are not easy decisions, and saying "I would prefer people to pause their lives for 6 months than loose one life" is a completely braindead, extremist way of looking at things.

Based on the data from March it's pretty easy to estimate the effects of reopening things, including school. It's a very easy decision, don't reopen yet.

You're comparing an estimated thousands to tens of thousands dying from schools reopening to at most a few hundred thousand having to pause for 6 months and saying it's not an easy decision...?

Not to mention that most schools would have online programs as an alternative, not hold everyone back so your entire premise is false anyway.
Many cities choose not to control their rioters, arsonists, and looters. In such cases, the Federal government may need to step in. It's my civil right to not have my business looted, and when local authorities do not protect civil rights, others should.

> So the end of this era need not be disastrous if it prompts reforms that create more dynamic economies and representative governments.

There is no scenario where it won't be disastrous.

The most important number in the Middle East is barrels of oil (produced) per capita. That figure has been falling for decades and is reaching critical low levels (as represented by their budget situations).

What the Middle East producers have to try to do economically, is like trying to replace the landing gear on a 747 while you're hurtling down the runway. They don't just have to plot for replacing oil vs their economy today (a nearly impossible task), they have to do it and come up with enough economy to manage another 100% increase in population in the next few decades. Realistically it's impossible, it will end in catastrophe; the conflicts (including civil) will be far larger, matching the size of the population increases. As the regimes melt under the pressure, wars will spiral out from it. Neither the House of Saud nor the Iranian theocracy will survive it intact.

Here is the population expansion for some prominent OPEC members since 1970:

Saudi Arabia: 5.8m -> 34m (486%)

(Saudi's oil production hasn't gone up much in 40 years, and their population has increased by 250% in that time; a lot more mouths to feed, dramatically fewer barrels per capita)

Iraq: 10m -> 40m (300%)

Iran: 28m -> 84m (200%)

Egypt: 34m -> 100m (194%)

Oman: 700k -> 5m (614%)

Kuwait: 750k -> 4m (433%)

Libya: 2m -> 6.6m (230%)

Sudan: 10m -> 42m (320%)

Algeria: 14m -> 44m (214%)
I agree that Flow being POC had all the above issues. Temporal listened to the users and solved all of them:

1. No code generation. So, you define one interface for activities and use it for both calling activities synchronously from the workflow and to implement them. Here is how would you do it in Temporal:

@ActivityInterface
public interface GreetingActivities {
String composeGreeting(String greeting, String name);
}

Workflow code:

GreetingActivities activities = Workflow.newActivityStub(GreetingActivities.class)
// This is a blocking call that returns only after the activity has completed.
String greeting = activities.composeGreeting("Hello", name);

The full source at https://github.com/temporalio/java-samples/blob/master/src/m...

2. SWF or Temporal does not drive the deployment strategy. You can run all of the workflows and activities as a monolith in a single process or break them in multiple services. But it is purely your choice.

3. SWF wasn't possible to run locally. Temporal fully supports unit testing of long-running workflows with automatic time skipping and local integration testing using the service running in docker-compose.
There was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desertec and you can also store large amounts of energy in hydrogen or methane produced from electricity.
Workforce mobility means people can always move for a system that makes more sense for them. If grandpa was a good IT engineer and made some nice money in US, but the grandchild is the village idiot then moving to Germany or France is a solution. Germany has an open door policy to foreigners (there are millions of Turkish descendants of "guest workers" invited after WW2 for reconstruction), East Europeans and now "refugees" from all over Middle East and Africa. No idea how immigration works in France, but there are huge Magrebian communities and lots of other foreigners as well, so I think it is doable.

No, we've had several experienced users immediately disengage because they felt overwhelmed and/or confused (not using as synonyms here, but common related reactions) by the interface. Performance issues, especially on mobile, haven't helped. Most people are just annoyed that you aren't using their favorite chat app already.

To your point: there is a non-zero chance of dying when riding public transportation.

Hyperbole aside, I think it's important to understand the risks and find appropriate compromises. Clearly "business as usual" is not the best course of action. But "shut everything down and wait until 2021" isn't very practical either. We missed our chance to contain the virus - but the world's not going to end.

2009 was near the bottom of the housing crisis in the US. You picked a really good time to build. While housing prices are likely overheated, it’s not where we were in 2007, at least adjusted for inflation.

Prices are high because of stupid low interest rates, an economy that had been strong till March, and probably a few demographic trends (echo boomers finally having kids).

When we pay the piper for this crisis I think we’ll see prices drop, but not at 2008 levels
No, it has more to do with the fact that an authoritarian state can fund itself with oil. Elite politicians and oil companies employees live a modern westernized lifestyle but the rest of the population remains in deep poverty. Those politicians aren't lacking anything but since the oil trade is deeply connected with the government anything that doesn't involve oil will weaken the government's influence over the country. It is much easier to stay in power by oppressing your population.

There is also the opposite scenario. You have an economic sector that is so incredibly lucrative that you can just bribe your way to popularity by creating a welfare state. Anything that pushes the focus away from the main sector would also involve losing the welfare benefits even though it is better in the long run.

Here comes a terrible analogy. Oil is like an economic painkiller. The pain is gone but you are still injured.
Nowadays no one's plans work out exactly the way they planned.

>you need a fossil-fuel base-load.

Basically saying this is wrong.

Technically, base-load refers to the minimum amount of energy demand on a given day. All sources and studies I have are from Germany, but our parliament, their adjacent (technical) offices and the universities here have concluded that "base-load" as a concept is wrong with today's power generation and the way a power grid works. Today they usually talk about residual-load, turning the paradigm around.
Regardless of how it works, there are also renewable energies which can fulfil this classical "base-load" idea: Namely organic gas or geothermal power plants.
When they are taxed to death on lower base wager, it is expected some to be apathetic. The saying is "they pretend to pay us, we pretend to work".
As was pointed out many developments are built out over time in sections as demand dictates.

Another factor besides coronavirus is widespread civil unrest. I think the one two punch was enough to make many people start considering it.

What about retroviruses such as HIV, where replication errors are very likely? It's almost like replication errors are a feature of HIV which makes it harder to develop a vaccine (of course, most mutations won't be helpful to the virus, but at least some will).

(I'm not saying SARS-CoV-2 is the same case)
I think we're saying the same thing. The point of zoning is to protect a commons— an area that we agree collectively will have a particular use even if that use might have lower direct economic value in the short term than some of the other potential uses.

Airbnb works actively to undermine that protection and permit extraction of the short term value, damaging the underlying communities. All I'm saying is that it could be a challenge for short-sighted politicians to look at the economic activity being generated and say "no, we don't want that, take your business elsewhere."

I personally only know of one person that has tested positive for Covid-19 and she recovered fully after about two weeks. Can you tell us more about the people you know that died due to Covid-19? General demographic info, like sex, age, that type of thing.
Not able to give a very precise answer but it usually looks like this:

Employee Salary: $100,000
Taxes Payable by Employee: Federal, State, Local, Payroll (Social Security, Medicare, other Local taxes like NY Family Leave)

Taxes Payable by Employer: Social Security, Medicare, other Local payroll taxes

Depending on your state, city, income level, married status, children, and type of worker you are (W2, 1099)... these variables will affect how the actual rate is calculated.

So suffice it to say that the income tax calculation alone is complicated enough (to perpetuate the accounting industry of course) and the matter gets extremely complicated when looking at LLC income, Corporation income, Capital Gains income which every Robinhood trader now has and of course compliance with business regulations which is so infinitely complicated that you can almost never be proactive in facing them and instead can only react to a fine when you receive it.

EDIT: A single man working in NYC making 100k will have an effective tax rate closing in on 40%, typically 22% federal, 7% state, 3% local nyc, 7.5% payroll

In spite of the common idea that schools and young children are germ factories that make adults sick, there's a recent article from the American Academy of Pediatrics that shows children are very rarely the index case for COVID.

I currently live downtown.

Life is semi-normal, but most of the reasons why I'd want to live down here are disrupted.

Concert halls are closed indefinitely. Meetup.com groups are now all remote. Restaurants will soon allow people to eat inside but will be operating at limited capacity and who knows what it will be like in the Fall/Winter. And now there's way more homeless people living in nearby parks/streets because of the economy/Covid-19 related limits on shelters. Shops are also closing by the week.

You know what I envy from all my friends? Backyards. Just being able to step outside instead of having to don a mask, wait for an semi-empty elevator and walk through public spaces is a big, big advantage. That and having a bigger space for working from home.

I'm planning to move to the suburbs over the next year or so in a large part because of how Covid-19 changed the downtown core.

Another explanation, if I am sick, I will get tested first before making my kid go through that. If I test positive, only then will I test my child. If I test negative and we are both sick, I will presume we caught something else.
Forgive my naivete but: 20 megabit/mm^2 for SRAM...a 1u rack is 600mm X 914mm = 548,400mm^2. Multiply that by 20 megabits and that is about 70 Gigabytes. Does that mean in theory we could build a rackmount server with an external L1 cache of 70 Gigabytes? The cost would be horrendous but I'm sure there is a scenario where it could make sense.
Developments in rural areas are rare. If you want a new home you simply find a piece of land, buy it, and then find a builder to make a house.

That still takes time, but not as much. In my area at least apparently homes for sale are going like hot cakes and prices are through the roof, so people that already live here might be taking the opportunity to sell their old home and build a dream home.

Well Shoelace/StencilJS/WebComponents leverages browser ESM support and as such is able to import scripts as-needed as you browse, you can see that by leaving the Networking tab open in the browser inspector, and I believe that's pretty nice - that's the kind of reason why webpack got chunk splits ...

You can probably achieve that with UIkit if you make one bundle per page with webpack or something, but with web components such as Shoelace you get that for free. So there's that, wether it matters to you or not is up to you of course.

This is where they went wrong, as unfortunate as it is. Aside from the massive amount of third party analytics and tracking and so on, there's many more out-of-band ways that others will find out about what they did, for example by purchasing credit card transaction history (Google, many other institutions), reading and automatically parsing your receipts sent via email (Google), making generalizations about your Internet activity (phone/Internet provider) and many others.
WSJ has been writing about this a while during COVID[0]. Their take seems to be that people don't want to move, so they aren't putting their houses up for sale. This means decreased supply of existing houses. So reduced supply plus really low interest rates have led to increasing housing prices. This probably helps motivate builders to get more houses built.

Then you have the added fact that COVID has made your home the place where you spend all your time. As I've seen my California co-workers joke about, they spent a bunch of money on an apartment right near work so their commute would be short, but it's a tiny apartment. This is now biting them, which is why lots of people are going elsewhere during this time. It's also leading to rent prices dropping across the country (as those high-price apartments near job/downtown/important spots don't matter as much.
