> An argument is using reasoning to move from premises to conclusion.

This is obviously not what they mean in this context.
This line of reasoning evades the real problem by trying to recast the issue as a balancing of risks rather than an undervaluing of a segment of our society. Let's return to the original poster's argument: there exist two extremes with one being "everyone stays at home" and the other being "no change due to COVID." Even in the extreme of "everyone stays at home" there is an implicit assumption that not everyone stays at home, just people with white collar jobs. That is the issue that I am calling out with my "subtle classist underpinnings" statement.

Additionally, it is worth noting that the risk-based analysis you use is 1) an exercise in line drawing (giving everyone their own office while at work is certainly equal or less exposure than food delivery as long as people don't socialize at work) and 2) an after the fact justification for a policy that is undeniably inequitable across class, race, and sex lines.
It sounds like a much older Java thing called JSR 168 Portlets. I remember briefly working with those in 2012, but Wikipedia says the spec is from 2003.

Edit: Actually, given the timing, I was probably using JSR 286 Portlets 2.0 (2008).
Companies aren't inherently "entitled to" anything either, including "personhood," avoidance of personal liability of shareholders for company actions, patents and trademark protection for inventions, rights to use public infrastructure, etc. You can't pretend like society hasn't granted corporations their own reasonable entitlements while arguing that workers shouldn't have their own.
Fair point, but for example if trucks get fully automated: the USA has 3.5 million truck drivers.

Where are they gonna find a job? My fear is that little by little people will be running out of jobs to find and the middle class will shrink more and more because of this. At which point will the "automation tipping point" happen where the society acknowledges that it's simply not possible to find meaningful employment for everyone?

With every lithium-sulfur battery I've come across you need to have a lot of steel clamping plates together because they expand so much when charging, and will otherwise delaminate. So ultimately they become the same mass.

Here you and us differ: If it‘s late we postpone finding a solution because we know we can pick it up the next day if it feels relevant. In an argument we never bring a list of former lapses. If something is relevant it has to be brought up, not collected.
If I have saved maybe a million in cash, UBI would encourage me to just stop working.

You'd already be "encouraged" to take a lower-paying part time and/or less stressful job. But most millionaires aren't going to be satisfied with the downgraded lifestyle that would entail.

doesn't do much for the poor

It does a lot for the poor. It lets them earn additional money without worrying about losing benefits, which is a big problem with current welfare systems. And more importantly it gives them negotiating power; they can walk away from abusive employers without the worry of homelessness or hunger.
Making a rational choice from what angle? If you consider death of your fellow countrymen just a statistic, maybe.

These are super-emotional topics, something on par with politics. My view is that even if it would be just out of respect of older generations who made the world we live today, raised us, protected us, guided us, we should be considerate.

Now we might end up in economical tragedy vastly worse then just letting them die, but that's a threshold we didn't yet cross according to most people here/out there. Hence all the reactions like closures and restrictions and vast majority complying with them.

Another aspect is utterly incompetent leaders, who's countries they mismanage seem to be, purely from rational point of view, currently holding premium places in covid charts. US, UK, Brazil, Russia etc. Seems like some pattern about how far lying and plain stupid ignorance can get you when confronted with something as little caring as virus.
Quora does this too. Can read first topic, but then they want you to login and then another topic or so they want you to download the app. I think apps do this because of push notifications and being on your home screen is likely to draw you back into their app and increase the metrics. I think it’s annoying and a dark pattern.

Myocarditis can absolutely cause death during exercise, as the poster said. They didn't say any athletes actually died due to this.

I'm not an expert in the field, but I do work with the space industry and closely follow a lot of the developments from all of the different groups attempting commercial rocket endeavours.

The big thing that keeps coming up around Blue Origin is that still to date they're entirely unproven for any real flights. They're older than SpaceX and most of their lives have been exclusively focused on sub-orbital flights, and most of that was centered around the "space tourism" business.

They switched in 2014 to targeting orbital missions and from the outside it looks like that was only done for a contract with ULA (specifically this is the creation of the BE-4 engine). After that they started taking orbital options seriously, proposing the New Glenn as its own orbital launch vehicle the following year.

It may also now be worth pointing out that the BE-4 wasn't independently designed to work with the New Glenn or for any specific mission characteristics that Blue Origin had planned. It is supposed to be a drop in replacement for the RD-180 engines we were purchasing from Russia for the Atlas V which is a major design constraint.

You're also right that they haven't been performing as much PR as SpaceX but I don't think that's by choice. Every time they've had a success or an attempt at success they've done very large PR campaigns and even taunt Elon publicly but those are few and far between.

They have absolutely had successes but they've also missed all of their target deadlines they've announced publicly and with their contracts. They have yet to have a successful payload to orbit and now they're talking about using a non-existent platform to launch 1,618 satellites to orbit by 2026. If they get the same density of satellites as Starlink (56/mission I believe, didn't look this up) that is about 27 launches.

I hate to toot SpaceX's horn, but they're currently the gold standard on rapid development of rocketry so it's worth comparing their time line to this one proposed by Blue Origin. As a starting point Blue Origin has not launched their BE-4 rocket into orbit yet much less with a payload so they haven't reached the beginning of it yet:

* September 2008: SpaceX successfully gets their rocket into orbit

* July 2009: SpaceX successfully gets first commercial payload into orbit

* June 2010: The Falcon 9 v1.0 platform has its first launch

* 2010-2013: SpaceX launches 7 missions

* 2014: SpaceX launches 6 missions

* 2015: SpaceX launches 7 missions

* July 2016: SpaceX launches its 27th mission

* January 2017: SpaceX launches its 27th successful mission

So at least in my opinion Blue Origin may not entirely be vaporware, but their time line seems unreasonable. To be successful in this endeavour using exclusively Blue Origin rockets, while taking on no additional launches, they would have to be more than twice as fast at development as SpaceX while using hardware that was designed for another purpose, in an market segment that they didn't start in.
As a general principle, I agree... within limits. We deliberately broke that rule once. We decided that were both too tired to usefully have the conversation that we needed to have, so we went to bed. We had the conversation the next day. (But we went to bed with an unresolved issue, not with a broken relationship. We were clear that we were each accepting the other, even though we still had this issue hanging.)

You have to not put off those conversations. But don't make "before you go to bed" an ironclad rule, because the more tired you are, the harder it is to work through the issue.
"What UBI skeptical people want to know is where is the proof that we can afford to tax ourselves to pay ourselves, where is the proof that it won't hurt long term productivity, and where is the proof that it doesn't cause inflation. A 120 person 36 month trial program cannot answer any of these questions."

Yes, but some skeptics really do object to UBI on moral-based reasons - indolence, buying drugs, laziness, and the joy of work and all that. If it turned out that all the money went to drugs and people got depressed, it would be a good argument against UBI.
I'd debate the 'more available' statement. It is more widely available overall but not in the places you'd want it. Of course that can be fixed but someone will have to build out that infrastructure to make electric planes viable.

It's a bit like Tesla. Prior to them building out their charging network, electric cars had a bit of a chicken and the egg problem. You might buy a car but have no where to charge it, but nobody wanted to build places to charge them because nobody has an electric car.

I suppose “self hosted” and “easily backed up” works fine since Obsidian is supposed to work on local MarkDown files which you can store and backup in any way you want.

Not sure why you’d need a WebGUI since the app appears to be cross-platform; personally, I tend to view web interfaces more as a last resort when there is no native app available. I’m not sure a WebGUI makes sense either if you’re storing your data in a local folder.

As far as I know, they don’t have a companion mobile app though, and that’s a deal-breaker for me too.
Man, if only there were some way we could run an experiment where we could see how the industry would react if drugs were not required to be vouched for by a regulatory agency.

Wait, there is: the health supplement industry. You know, the people who can't be bothered to even put in their claimed active ingredients because it's all placebo anyways?

The FDA was set up literally because of these snake oil situations, and modern evidence suggests that snake oil still thrives wherever the FDA is banned from setting foot.

"Everything in moderation" isn't actually great diet advice. There's a paper floating around somewhere showing that people with a limited diet of healthy things fare better than people with a very wide diet that included unhealthy things.

My take is that "everything in moderation" is a mental crutch that people adopt when there's some part of their diet that they know isn't _good_ but that they don't want to give up completely. It is true that we can sneak in unhealthy food here and there without hugely detrimental effects, but that doesn't mean it's a good baseline practice.

The one scenario where it might be useful advice is with somebody whose diet is terrible, and you want to ease them towards a somewhat nutritionally positive diet; even in this circumstance, a more direct approach of "eat less crap and more good stuff" would be more accurate.
The most infuriating part of this is that they haven’t implemented a functional deep linking system. I mostly come across Reddit on my phone from google, and would happily use the app to read whatever page I’m trying to get to, but the “open in app” button opens the App Store (even with the app installed). This is on iOS, maybe android is better.

>>US didn't have a federal strategy

They did at the outset of the current administration but chose to fire the people trained for 'reasons'. When the pandemic finally pressed on the country, the game plan handed down from the previous admin had been abandoned for years at that point by the current administration.
As a non US person I don't see anything different between the current administration and the last. Just this one isn't polished behind good speaches and fooling the world that their foreign policy is any different. No one was held accountable, secret prisons continue and drone usegae was normalized. The wars continue and new ones are started.
Moving 3 counties means basically every employee has to be relocate or be replaced. If a business is willing and able to make that choice, they are a) not attached to their current location, and b) probably willing to consider farther moves for further cost reductions.
Generally free or not available at all to that specific patient, no? At least from the publicly funded system; some Western European countries also allow private practice of medicine where the availability criteria are different.
Leaving Android, to me, seems like a bad idea for a 3rd party at this point. FireOS can already run Android apps which is a massive gain over launching another OS and having to support foreign apps via emulation or push the development/porting of apps. What's the gain to developers if you're the smallest player in an almost saturated market?

Additionally, Amazon makes a lot of money off of services and digital content, not just physical goods. Pushing (like with the Fire HD tablets) integration with those into the base experience plus running their own Android app market (they can always go under Google Play's percentage, and if they gain market share they'd get a lot more apps loaded to it) seems like a more lucrative and compelling option.

> But i believe we should start doing this for US companies as well.

We can "call out" whatever you want. People vote with their dollar. Target, Walmart, cheap resellers on AliExpress/Amazon are "winning" every day because the most important thing most consumers care about is rock bottom price. I don't think "calling out" will do much other than virtue signal.

There is no proof that would actually appease you. There is no way you could measure the effect on inflation without having an entire currency on UBI. There is no way we could be sure about the macroeconomic effects of UBI without first implementing it.
> Neither one has been reimplemented in other software, and it would be extraordinarily difficult to actually do that, because of all the specificity and quirks.

Why is this a problem? That's like saying "I need a good GPU to run this game, this sucks!" Well, no shit I guess?

And it's not even close to that because you can always just buy/compile/compile the right version. And for darktable you don't even need that, backward compatibility is guaranteed. Also darktable has a rudimentary Lightroom to darktable conversion tool (never used it).

> This is more complexity than most people ordinarily expect when they talk about "backing up photos", and that's exactly my point.

Not sure about the other ones, but for darktable, it's as simple as keeping the XML alive.

> I explained a very specific issue: that there's a lot of complexity to developing raw photos, which means you have to take extra steps to make sure your edits are properly backed up. Open source software has a distinct advantage because you can archive a copy of the software yourself, but it doesn't change the fact that you do need the original software. And in fact you might need the same version, that's what the example of DNG conversion is supposed to illustrate.

If you don't like having a non-destructive copy, save a high quality JPEG with your edits. Also, I can't think of any other applications (not just photo editing) that you can easily have future-proof non destructive copies of whatever you need to save.

For example: for audio, you can always just save a WAV or FLAC of your work, but you're still relying on the fact that your DAW workflow is still gonna exist 10 years in the future if you try to save your project as opposed to a mastered copy.

Code is also similar. You can save a binary which will probably work, but if you want to save your repo, unless it has good package managers you might have issues later down the line, like that left-pad incident a while back.

Hell, even for something completely different: language drifts over time, and reading Shakespeare is kind of hard unless you know how to read Middle English. And we don't seem to have a problem with forward compatibility, it's just a bit of a pain in the ass. I read it in High School and I didn't go insane.

This isn't a photography issue, this isn't a software issue, this is a core part of human experience.

> This is ... the opposite of a non-issue. In fact it's a very specific issue that I took quite a bit of time to explain in detail. Having to back up your software, or possibly even an entire VM along with your photos to make sure your edits are preserved, goes way beyond what your average person, or even many photographers think they have to do to keep proper backups.

You don't need a VM, at least for darktable. You're making an issue that hasn't appeared but is potentially possible into a real issue for yourself. Maybe it will become an issue, but just figuring out how to install the old version is gonna be good enough. You do you mane. I'll stick with running dt natively and trusting the forward compatibility and OpenCL acceleration.

These are very interesting points! Though, I don't really think it's the responsibility of individuals to maximize GDP, and people who die younger generally incur lower lifetime medical expenses than people who die older, which plausibly more than offsets things like aircraft fuel. People who eat too much also plausibly subsidize food for the rest of us.

Mental health is a good point, though justifying government intervention on that point also justifies forcing medication on people, does it not? And then the issue of defining where something veers from merely annoying to "mental health problem."

I'm wary of defining externalities so expansively that they justify any intervention.

> It's in the government's interest, as an institution, to open things up ASAP.

Theories by which it is in a government's interest to delay reopening longer than optimal:

1. The Governor's political interests lie in "doing something," to contrast with "do nothing" political approaches. Ceasing to "do something" erases this advantage.

2. Masks and closure become a political symbol to certain classes -- almost a political advertisement -- and those classes tend to see the burdens as insignificant and a "community responsibility." Efforts to reopen, then, are seen as opposed to the good of the community.

3. Industries and activities that support the Governor will increase COVID cases, so the Governor decides other industries and activities are "nonessential," shifting costs from supporters to non-supporters.

4. The Governor is politically or legally risk averse, and defers to the most conservative health authorities to avoid responsibility for outcomes.

5. The Governor underweights economic impacts, because it believes the Federal Government should use tax policy or welfare to socialize the economic costs of the "required" costs.

Granted, these aren't fears the government will remain irrational forever, just that it will stay irrational longer than people can stay liquid.

I do think some people will swap roles after the US election, and they will rediscover a patriotic duty to muddle through, as our elected officials do the best they can.

> You compare the economic impact of one country which was hit by the virus (Sweden) and one which was not (Germany,Finland, ...).

"Of these 127 [COVID-19 cases], 8 (6.3% [CI, 2.1% to 10.5%]) were asymptomatic. Of the 119 symptomatic cases, 20 (16.8%) were defined as mild, 87 (73.1%) as moderate, and 12 (10.1%) as severe or critical."

6.3% of transmissions being asymptomatic doesn't sound rare to me.

Also, the 89.9% of people with mild or moderate cases may still not realize they have covid, and spread it.
Thank you for the more precise definition. Broadly I think Hacker News could use a little more discussion of Marx, which is why I brought it up.
