Now i will state my reasons why Che is an inspiration. First of all I am not an American or from the Latin country and i do not support Communism. I like Che because of his analytical thinking and hacker like personal traits. I read his book "Guerrilla Warfare"[1] and based on the title i expected the first page must preach about moral values or self righteous, but was very much surprised to find the explanation on the necessary conditions that must exist to start a revolution and goes on to describe how many core members are required, their preferred age and should not be married. He asks to treat the captured enemy nicely and does not make any false pretense of being noble about it. He is direct in pointing out that it is in their self interest. His arguments were logical and rational.

Well, the UBI money you get would be used to buy something that someone else has produced (an iPhone, a piece of bread, a bottle of wine, etc.). In this sense, the UBI that you are getting represents _goods_ that _someone else_ is producing (and "donating" into the system in the form of taxes). I find this easier to reason about when you take the concept of "money" out of the equation.

So,oOption A is that you "donate" more goods into the system than the UBI you are consuming, which is all fine and dandy for the rest of us. Option B is that you are consuming more value that you are donating, which is less fun for the rest.

So, some people will need to overproduce in order for the people who under-produce to get their UBI worth of goods. Mind you, this isn't different than the current state of affairs. The big question for me is how would the introduction of UBI ultimately affect that ratio, given that you would be less disincentivized to stay with the underproducing group?

These policies are always double edged swords. The other way to frame minimum wage is that it makes it illegal to work unless you can produce $X value per hour.

I imagine most school districts, including ours, will land on something like what you just described, albeit after a period of jerking parents around. Since your school was only planning on three hours a day, sounds like they are more flexible than mine, which demands six. I understand even the most school-marmiest of homeschooling parents wouldn't impose more than 1-2 hours of class on 5 and 6-year-olds.

I have been preparing for the possibility of homeschooling all summer, so we were ready to pull the trigger. I just didn't expect it to be Day 2!
There is a difference between someone being worth $50/hour and another person willing to do whatever for just $5/hour.

For example, rich kids can take unpaid internships because they don't have to worry about food or rent for the duration of internships.

Poor kids can't usually afford to take jobs that don't pay.

It could be and you're probably right, I just personally lost interest in preserving too much information. Of course once in a while I come across a piece of info that I do save but whatever I slap into some text files is enough to me, most of the time I don't need to look it up anyway or I forget it even exists. And regularly I purge it and that feels good. Maybe I've reached my limits... But I do understand the need if one's line of work requires to or there's a need to for research, these tools can be very useful.

That's cool if you can remember roughly what the command is called. For example, I wanted to format some XMl in a buffer. In a GUI, I'm fairly sure I could find this easily, in emacs it is "go to google" and find out that you want sgml-petty-print or whatever. So a bunch of M-x searching for "format" is hopeless.

Emacs tends to have its own names for many concepts, making things even more obtuse.

The lockdowns are (incidentally, effectively) a case of collective action. It's not a case of one worker withdrawing from the market, but all workers.

Individually, with any positive level of unemployment, any one worker's nonparticipation is mooted by a ready waiting pool of available workers. Eventually the hold-out gets hungry. Or starves.

Blacklists operate similarly: businesses can afford the exclusion, the (unorganised) excluded cannot.

[I]n every part of Europe, twenty workmen serve under a master for one that is independent... What are the common wages of labour, depends everywhere upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen....

Tea with honey, milk with honey, camomile tea with honey. In all cases, it's likely the hot liquid does the most part.

But as kids, my parents also often gave us a teaspoon of honey when we had a strong cough, suckling on it would help a bit, at least psychologically.

Tegnell is a fucking idiot. Look at the numbers, look at how it spreads, look at the countries that were doing OK at first and why. That's Taiwan, South Korea, Iceland, Singapore. Look at what Sweden did (nothing). Look at Swedish GDP change compared to neighboring countries.
Granny style remedy that I haven't seen mentioned here:

cut thin slices of onion, coat top of slice with honey, possibly put another layer of onion slices and another layer of honey or more. Put all of this in a closed container, in room-or-slightly colder temperature (but not fridge) for a few hours.

Fumes from the onion melt the honey making it much more liquidy. Honey sips into onion and makes it less sharp.

Eat onion and/or drink honey/onion liquid (or take with a spoon - it is quite intense). Put in fridge if you don't use all at once. Also nice as a condiment for some foods.

Possibly placebo, but tends to help with cold and headaches.
Data source for "peer-reviewed studies that tend to reflect a nearly opposite conclusion"?
States can and sometimes do set higher rates than the national minimum. And frankly, a national minimum wage doesn't make sense -- why should wages in low CoL areas like rural Alabama be the same as high CoL areas like NYC/SF?

Even state lines may be too coarse grained for minimum wage policies, Since there are many metro areas that cross state lines. On the other hand, economists have been able to treat these places as natural experiments with mixed success: when one state raises the minimum wage but the other does not, you can measure a variety of things, including regional inflation. But it's still difficult to disentangle causation and substitution effects, since the minimum wage directly affects only a small portion of society. The evidence on that front has been... shedding more heat than light. I'm not sure anyone's proved conclusively that inflation does or does not happen, or that unemployment does or does not happen.

Probably the most interesting study I've heard of is one looking at restaurants as a sort of model species for minimum wage jobs, the same way that biologists study fruit flys because they have short lifecycles. The supposed evidence there is that the type of restaurants change in response to wage increases: more self-bussing, less staff hired per dollar turnover. The people left get paid more, but fewer people employed overall. That said this was from a podcast discussion and I haven't reviewed the peer reviewed article personally.

Cameras are also a really big deal in the context of smartphones. I assume a lot of silicon is devoted to making them work well with a small sensor in a smallish footprint. Apple is probably not going to add a couple hundred dollars to a MacBook BOM (and maybe a bump for the lens) for a better webcam--at least they wouldn't have before the current situation. Who knows now? Maybe a top-notch webcam is a selling point. Many people still wouldn't set up lighting and eliminate backlighting to give it a chance.
Puerto Rico has structural issues related to endemic corruption that discourages business investment, and that is why companies generally avoid doing business there despite the very generous tax incentives for doing business in Puerto Rico.

This isn't to the actual study (which I'm having trouble finding), but to the NEA's policy brief on all day kindergarten.

The TL;DR being that all day Kindergarten is strongly associated with better educational outcomes. As a result, many districts are moving towards full day.

The labor market ain't free. There's minimum wage, all these regulations around payroll and healthcare. Consider that 40 hours a week is standard... why is that standard? Is it because a majority independently arrived at that same conclusion? Or is it because of overtime laws? Consider the W2 vs 1099 employee, or the fact that you can't purchase healthcare at a competitive rate outside of employment, and employment isn't required to provide that below 30 hours/week.

Doesn't seem very free to me, sounds downright byzantine.

I've used Conductor, Zeebe, and Cadence all in close to production capacity. This is just my personal experience.

Conductor's JSON DSL was a bit of a nightmare to work with in my opinion. But otherwise, it did the job OK-ish. Felt more akin to Step Functions.

Arguably, Zeebe was the easiest to get started with once you get past the initial hurdle of BPMN. Their model of job processing is very simple, and because of that, it is very easy to write an SDK for it in any language. The biggest downside is that it is far from production ready, and there are ongoing complaints in their Slack about its lack of stability, and relatively poor performance. Zeebe does not require an external storage since workflows are transient, and replicated using their own RocksDB, and Raft set-up. You need to export, and index the workflows if you want to keep a history of it or even if you want to manage them. It is very eventually consistent.

With both Conductor, and Zeebe however, if you have a complex enough online workflow, it starts getting very difficult to model them in their respective DSLs. Especially if you have a dynamic workflow. And that complexity can translate to bugs at an orchestration level which you do not catch unless running the different scenarios.

Cadence (Temporal) handles this very well. You essentially write the workflow in the programming language itself, with appropriate wrappers / decorators, and helpers. There is no need to learn a new DSL per se. But, as a result, building an SDK for it in a specific programming language is a non-trivial exercise, and currently, the stable implementations are in Java, and Go. Performance, and reliability wise, it is great (relies on Cassandra, but there are SQL adapters, though, not mature yet).

We have somewhat settled on Temporal now having worked with the other two for quite some time. We also explored Lyft's Flyte, but it seemed more appropriate for data engineering, and offline processing.

As it is mentioned elsewhere here, we also use Argo, but I do not think it falls in the same space as these workflow engines I have mentioned (which can handle the orchestration of complex business logic a lot better rather than simple pipelines for like CI / CD or ETL).

Also worth mentioning is that we went with a workflow engine to reduce the boilerplate, and time / effort needed to write orchestration logic / glue code. You do this in lots of projects without knowing. We definitely feel like we have succeeded in that goal. And I feel this is an exciting space.

Not a valid one. The story was false.

That might be true but if something is hard that doesn't mean it's automatically worth doing. Video conference learning might be both simultaneously hard and completely worthless.
Is that really such a bad thing?

I mean, that's pretty much the entire point of Montessori school and various "lifestyle of learning" types of educational programs

I think huge swathes of the information that we force feed our children in school is mostly forgotten or un-used.

I was homeschooled as a kid, and my parents let me basically stop school at the age of 11. I was interested in computers, and by the age of 13 I had a job as a programmer, and by the age of 16 I was employed full time. I ended up going back and studying for my GED (passed it with a 98%) when I was 17 (because my parents said I couldn't get a car until I passed the GED at least).

One of my other siblings didn't even learn to read competently until the age of 10. He now has a college degree, owns a huge house, and makes six figures.

Kids are a lot more resilient than people give them credit for, and the most sure-fire way to make kids hate learning is to force them to do it.
Positive and Negative Rights or Coercion and Non-Coercion Rights

"Negative and positive rights are rights that oblige either inaction (negative rights) or action (positive rights). These obligations may be of either a legal or moral character. The notion of positive and negative rights may also be applied to liberty rights."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights

Rights are either (1) liberties that are stipulated to not be infringed by the government (Saying "Dear Leader is a bad leader" is protected speech and taxes/government cannot be used to prosecute someone for saying it) or (2) The ability to demand services to be rendered by the government so one's desires are fulfilled (I demand the ability to take from you via taxes to pay police so that I can have protective forces / police to defend me saying "Dear Leader is a bad leader")

Organizing political unions around negative rights (1) is socially scalable and recursible: "who among us agrees we will never kill our fellow man? of those in the subset, who will agree to never assault someone unless if and only if the person who is to be assaulted, has already assaulted someone" (2) is not socially scalable "Who agrees we should coerce person/group x if some of you feel person/group y wants what person/group x has"

If you think it's possible to write laws the subsidize the well-being of the destitute, Please let me know who I should sue for landing on a desert island and starving to death. Reality isn't fortunate nor charitable -- consensual, opt-in unions can be.
> how do we make laws that treat everyone equally?

by stopping enacting laws that are oriented towards the abstract "society as a whole" and "benefits to the society as a whole", and by beginning treating an individual as the smallest minority in the world whose unalienable rights require protection from the crowd.
If you feel the need to resolve every petty squabble, no matter when, your relationship is in trouble anyways.

If you think negotiating at least an understanding to put an issue temporarily to rest before sleep and using sleep as an emotional weapon are the same thing - your relationship is REALLY in trouble. (And so is how you look at the world in general)

It's perfectly OK to say "I think you're really wrong about this, but let's talk tomorrow. I'd just like to sleep". The healthy response there isn't "I WONT LET YOU SLEEP BEFORE YOU AGREE"

All the initial S-1 filings I'm aware of are confidential. After amendments (S-1A filings), the resulting document can be made public.

One possible trial that would interest me is a UBI, implemented on a county-wide basis somewhere. It might be possible to find a county containing a single city, somewhere near the center so people can't easily just move immediately outside the border of where the UBI applies, where a high enough fraction of the people in that town are in favor of a UBI to pass some resolution to create a county-wide income or property tax that funds a county-wide basic income.

The issue with that is that I suspect higher-level governments (state, federal) would decide that

a. An individual county imposing taxes that high is illegal
b. UBI benefits must be paid out immediately to all residents of the city upon moving there (and now every poor person everywhere wants to move to your city).

Still, maybe there's a clever way to try it out in a fairly self-contained system?
This response misses the point.

Yes, it is possible for young healthy people to have complications from COVID.

The thinking must go one step further: what is the likelihood of a deleterious outcome? Is it more than the likelihood than them getting in a crash while on the way to the gym (which we do not prohibit)?

A further question: is the mitigating response impacting other outcomes that are important?

In multi-objective analysis you must consider more than just one factor to arrive at an optimal state. I fear the analysis done by many laymen in this area only considers one factor (COVID infection), and even then, considers it without nuance.
