All of the media messaging around COVID has been a complete disaster from the moment it became apparent it was spreading in January in China. One of the main takeaways from this pandemic needs to be that doctors and experts need to learn how to say the words: "I don't know, but we are working hard to find out." Way too many people have made statements that later turned out to be false. The lack of any consistency and the complete flip-flopping on masks has completely undermined the public's willingness to trust the experts.

I use the knockoff chinese batteries for my thinkpads that cost ~ $30. Haven't had a problem.

But that's not what I was talking about. I was referring to the GP comment, about using individual LiOn 18650 batteries that can be individually replaced. Those cost a few bucks each, and your X220 battery has about 6 of them inside. That's what the MNT Reform does, as well, which is what's so cool about their batteries.
I would guess what you’re seeing is not an arrogant man who anyone would be stupid to question (though most would, to be honest), but someone who has devoted 50 or so years to learning and seeing every new generation make the same mistakes that he once made. He was originally a marxist.

But if you aren’t even willing to listen to him, it’s moot anyway.
Ahhh, yes, I think that may have been the case. I still think if the author just put "might" instead of "would," then the article would be quite accurate.

However, to your point, I find myself doing that sometimes without even realizing it and I wonder what drives it internally and externally.
Excuses are a dime a dozen when it comes to exercise.
This is exactly the stated purpose--and indeed the legal requirement--of H1B visas, to gain access to uniquely skilled workers that are not available through the local workforce.

It's supposed to be an essentially merit-based path to immigration, and if true, that would make it exactly the kind of program that Trump should 100% support.

To the extent that H1B accomplishes this objective of highly skilled labor at prevailing market wages, I think it's a useful program that has a place in the overall immigration system.

From a macroeconomic view, even when limited to bringing in skilled labor to fulfill a specific market shortage, this will still depress the prevailing wage in that market, which theoretically prevents the market from correcting when rising wages induce increased local supply.

Fundamentally something is broken with the wage market when real wages have not grown in decades. Partially this is a problem with the measurement not correctly accounting for significantly increased cost of [healthcare] benefits covered by the employer share. But I believe even when accounting for the full employer-side cost of wages, this number has not grown as expected, and low-wage work visas are part of the problem.
> like x64

I seem to recall reading somewhere that "x64" actually referred to something which was distinct from x86_64 (was it a special mode of using 32-bit pointers with a 64-bit kernel? I can't remember exactly now), but now that I am googling for it, I can't seem to find anything.
No, I am not saying it is acceptable because it is legal. It is acceptable because everyone does it. It would be hypocritical to freely allow other people to steal cars, but then start singling out a specific group of people for stealing cars as if they are more immoral than the rest. If your problem is the act of stealing cars, you should be against all stealing of cars.
That just seems like a big stretch. No templates means no STL. The STL is a pretty big jewel in the C++ crown at this point. No templates and no STL means we'd have some kind of container libraries with long inheritance hierarchies kind of like what we had in the 90's prior to the introduction (and implementation in compilers) of templates.

That great freedom in expression is probably what leads to many bugs from expressing things "too freely".

Generic wise phrase: Perfection is not reached by adding more and more things, but by taking things away, until only the true core ideas remain, on top of which one builds the rest.

This is something C++ is very far away from attaining. What one wants for maintainabIlity, simplicity and understandability is the core concepts, not 120 keywords and different meanings of keywords depending on where they appear.

I feel that way when I'm writing text and code.

But when doing visual design, or playing with a demoscene setup, I tend to feel limited by the number of variables I can simultaneously control. I have tried using MIDI nobs and sliders, but the bottleneck is how many fingers I have, rather than the number of input devices in front of me.

Mapping the Podcast Ecosystem
The fact that I can read your comment suggests that the Web has done something pretty incredible - it has made it possible for anyone with internet access to share information with billions of people.

I think that this article is written from an idealist perspective. It's asking: How can we take this accessible Web of journalistic information, and make access to it free, while still providing professional journalists with an income?

The author's answer to that question is: have the government pay journalists rather than citizens. One way to make that happen could be to centralize journalism in a non-profit, Spotify-esque app, and have donors and government sponsor the app.

Another similar, less ideal option is to create this centralized, Spotify-esque app for journalism, and then paywall the app. Since paying a monthly fee for dozens of individually paywalled newspapers/websites seems unreasonable to me, I don't pay for any of them. Yet, I do pay for Spotify. And if I could pay a monthly fee to read all journalism on the web, I probably would.
> In the scenario you describe, the carbon tax would have to be high enough to make burning gas more expensive than renewables. Maybe that would work in this scenario? I don't know.

It’s possible the tax isn’t high enough. And it’s also possible that for some applications, people will choose to simply pay the tax rather than change their energy source because there isn’t e.g. a more economical source of jet fuel yet. But having a tax will tip the cost-benefit balance for a lot of people, and if it doesn’t do enough, a higher tax might.

Also, it might turn out in this scenario that building nuclear plants or capturing my gas plant’s carbon emissions end up being cheaper than switching to renewables. The point, from a policy standpoint, is that the government doesn’t care to second-guess how carbon emissions are reduced so long as they are reduced.

In theory, a cap-and-trade system—in which the government simply mandates how much carbon can be pumped into the atmosphere and auctions off tradable permits to do so—would work as well. This is how a lot of emissions are currently regulated in the US. A carbon tax is just a different mechanism to apply the same market forces.

> It also is reactive, rather than proactive. Tax is levied only after environmental damage is done.

I would also favor a carbon tax credit for actually extracting and sequestering surplus carbon from the atmosphere for this reason.

However, I think you’re implicitly missing the whole point of the carbon tax. A carbon tax, like any Pigovian tax, is most successful when it collects the least revenue. The most cost-effective mitigation for climate change is to stop emitting so much carbon. The goal isn’t to make people pay the carbon tax; it’s to make people change their behavior so they don’t have to pay the carbon tax.

> Given "politics", it is also highly likely that the tax might never be used for environmental remediation.

That’s not the point. In fact—since carbon taxes behave like consumption taxes and overwhelmingly impact the poor—many people favor a revenue neutral carbon tax that returns every cent collected to taxpayers in the form of a universal tax credit.

> From both an economic, environmental, and political impact perspective, it is significantly more efficient to put the burden of environmental action on producers of products rather than consumers. Don't given consumers an incentive to consume renewables and products made from them, give the producers who would otherwise use less environmentally friendly products an incentive to never create those products in the first place

Yes, that’s exactly how a carbon tax works. It wouldn’t be paid directly by consumers, except for fairly obvious things like taxes on gasoline or propane.

When I’ve been saying “people”, remember that producers are people too. In fact, producers are often more governed by the sort of bean-counting, cost-minimizing behavior that carbon taxes are meant to influence in the first place.

> Also none of this helps with a UBI.

I agree, for reasons I’ve outlined elsewhere. I don’t really care since I see them as separate issues though.

> we still aren’t telling the public that room air purifiers are a ‘good thing’ (for making indoor air like outdoor air - in regards to virion density per cubic air volume)

> The filter technology is essentially the same as in the N95

So, due to the very small size of this virus, in microns. Most air filters on the market are still not good enough. HEPA isn't good enough, is it better than nothing? Yes but not much. A MERV 14 isn't good enough. I've seen some promising UV light tech but...AC units are pretty ill equipped for this virus.

I'm even curious if studies have been done in hospitals have the equipped AC filtering system to stop this virus. Air flow and filtration is a tradeoff currently. Try to blow out a candle with an N95 mask. It's extremely difficult. The filter technology is not the same.

> orders of magnitude more effective than cloth masks

Cloth masks help about 40% reduction, surgical masks 80%, and N95...95%. I find it very annoying that governments are encouraging cloth masks because they could be use their size and buy surgical masks for everyone at a very cheap cost (economies of scale).

Also, the creator of N95 masks got out of retirement and found that if hospital workers had 7 masks, one for each day. Just rotating them in the storage closet is very effective to reusing them without contamination.

My trick is to delay the task to a specific day and/or time. I use a reminders app to create a schedule of sorts, and I've trained myself to do the task right when the reminder pops up.

The presumption here is that I've already thought about how long the task will take and what I'll need to complete it, plus I'm aware of what else is going on and taken that into account, so I have no real excuse for not doing the task right when the reminder pops up.

It's a bit of moderated procrastination, but it works for me.
