It's pretty obvious why, people make buying decisions on phones based on the quality of the cameras, both the back camera and the "selfie" camera. They don't do that on laptops because historically whatever was there was good enough.
> because we said no beach allowed during Covid

We said "No beach during Covid" because a bunch of lunatics flooded the open beaches.

And while the beach may not be a problem, those same lunatics flood the gas stations, Walmarts, etc. and DON'T WEAR MASKS.

In addition, California never really locked down. California has almost continuously had an R0 above 1.0. Mostly due to the lunatics in Southern California.

If you want to open the beaches and arrest anybody not local, fine. The problem with THAT is that you now have to patrol for it--which creates in-person contact.

So, we shut the beaches completely. Sorry you can't surf. Tell your population cohort to wear your masks and stay the hell out of parties and maybe California will get below R0 one day.

Or not. And this crap can continue until we get a vaccine.
Nice, but this doesn't go far enough imo. I love emacs but keep using Sublime on a daily basis because it has real, native[0] mouse handling and UI. My dream editor would be a Sublime UI on top of embedded emacs. That means:

- Native mouse selection of text, proper copy/paste, ideally with a "narrow caret" instead of block cursor everywhere

- Native graphical file tree with drag and drop

- Native tabs with pretty drag and drop

- Pixel-fine resizing of panes

- Pixel-fine scrolling!!

[0]: Everywhere I say "native" above, I don't really care if it's GTK or electron (provided it's snappy) or whatever. I mean the nebulous feeling of having text areas work like every other text area on my desktop.

VimR (https://github.com/qvacua/vimr) on mac was the closest to this I ever got, and I love that editor, but I'm not on macOS anymore.

edit: Oh g-----, I'm literally describing aquamacs. I wonder if anyone has tried to run it on linux with GNUstep or something ;__;
That sounds like blaming a broken money supply for lower wages. They are making the same wages. The inflation of money supply makes their dollar worth less. Two separate issues. I would prefer to examine one issue on its own.

The company has no say in the money supply. Their money is worth less as well. Do you expect a company to pay more when they are earning the same amount and employee production stays the same?

The Fed is the only entity that controls money supply and the purchasing power of a dollar. Upset that what you are earning doesn't buy the same amount of stuff? Blame for that is entirely on us for asking the government for more while demanding lower taxes. Their only alternative to raising taxes is printing more money.
Is it the vegetable oil or the fact that processed foods come with vegetable oil? Sauteed vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil is a bit different than a TV dinner.
But that's precisely the problem. While you may think this way, someone else may not. So when you try to convince that person from an assumption that they agree with you on the importance of the premise, you fall flat.
The official Emacs.app also supports using the Command shortcuts while keeping all the normal emacs commands the same. In general I find that the app plays nicely with MacOS and I prefer it over aquamacs since emacs.app is newer (right now version 27 vs 25.) And I think looks nicer once I've removed the menu bars.

There are going to be legitimate reasons for removing a review like bad writing, personal information, or foul language, but the net effect is making the listing appear better than it is, and that doesn't sit well with me.
Anthony Fauci quoted below with his primary motivations:

"I don't regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm's way every day to take care of sick people," Fauci told O'Donnell.

"When it became clear that we could get the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don't know they're infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks," he said.

"And also, it soon became clear that we had enough protective equipment and that cloth masks and homemade masks were as good as masks that you would buy from surgical supply stores," Fauci added. "So in the context of when we were not strongly recommending it, it was the correct thing."
> though if you're disputing the specific numbers, you're missing my point

I'll bite ... what is your point? Approximately 30000 people die a year in car accidents a year in the US, COVID has killed 170K in six months. What's the missing piece you are trying to bring to the table?
You are claiming that parents and teachers have a 10% chance of death? Sorry, but this is not true according to every statistic so far. parents of a child living at home are not old. Teachers (people in the workforce) are not old. You're off by a factor of about 100. Stop spreading propaganda.

> that would mean admitting how utterly dismal our Covid response has been

Only if there would've been a better way. While COVID surely could've been handled a bit better overall, I don't think a lockdown was fully avoidable (note that it escaped Wuhan while the city was in a lockdown stricter than anything seen outside of Wuhan) and remote learning is, as shown above, not ideal either. So I don't think admitting that this school year was bad equals admitting a bad response to COVID.
This is usually the first mistake new homeschoolers make - trying to recreate the "school" experience in their homes. It nearly always fails.

Homeschooling is much more flexible and dynamic. More breaks, more following the rabbit down the hole, more fun.

My kids can often be found reading in their makeshift forts behind the sofa, watching ants in the backyard, and clicking through the youtube videos following the curiosity from something they learned in their regular studies.
I would say "hard pass" on this, but at some point in the future, it will no doubt be significantly more expensive to acquire car insurance without this kind of oversight. Ideally there would be some legislation in place that precludes charging people extra for retaining their privacy, but I'm not holding my breath.
Stereo vision isn't exactly "solved," but there are a ton of very good solutions out there both open source and commercial. The "Semi-Global Block Matching" algorithm implementation in the OpenCV library[1] is very good even though the algorithm is over 10 years old at this point. I've played around with the new Intel RealSense[2] units recently as well, which are stereo cameras with onboard processing and a nice IR pattern projector. Pretty cheap, and for the most part they "just work."

I live in a very touristic neighborhood in Lisbon and several of the apartments in my building are rented full time through AirBnB & friends and it's definitely still a lot quieter than pre-covid, and we're in August when there should be tourists everywhere.

It's only one datapoint of course but from this very limited perspective it seems very hard for me to believe that their business would be stronger now than pre-covid.

But hotels are probably suffering even more, that's true.
I'm super eager for the opposite reason: I want to go long. In 3 years people's travel habits will mostly be back to normal, and AirBnb has a very strong competitive moat

>But it's okay to have a national minimum wage and also a state, county or city minimum wage that's higher than the national. That doesn't mean we shouldn't at least start with the national one.

You won't get any argument about that from me.

My point was that, except in the poorest places in the US, $15/hour is not a living wage. Especially since many, if not most folks earning the minimum wage don't get health care benefits (a big additional cost) and often are not afforded 40 hours/week either.
That's been quite false in my experience - quite a few times it was much easier / simpler / cheaper to build than buy, because there wasn't an offering good enough, and the cost of adaptation was on the order of the cost of building.

Many SAP and Oracle-software (not the DB, the other stuff) implementations fail, and take years to do so, after costing as much as building in house would have (and likely succeeded).

For some things, it's true - but I wouldn't consider this "generally applicable wisom"

I didn’t say making money, I said providing value. You’re creating some value for your company that exceeds what they pay you, otherwise you wouldn’t have a job.

Let’s say I’m a widget maker. I can make 10 widgets per hour for my company, and they in then earn $1 profit per widget. This company is not going to pay me $15/hr if I’m only able to generate $10/hr in value for the business. But if minimum wage is $15 then it makes it illegal for me to work for them.
N95's aren't KN95's, minor nitpick.

N95's are available on eBay as a black market ish item. Sellers come and go. I've bought dozens and given them to friends and family and use them when in an Uber.

KN95s are fragile, have crappy fit (leak air enormously, obvious if you wear glasses since they fog), and aren't very well regulated. But they are better than surgical or those ridiculous cloth masks.
You're right, but unfortunately it's beside my point. (I took "chances of dying in a car crash" to mean it was the fatality rate of a car crash, which was wrong.) I was trying to find the chances of dying given you have a car crash, not the chances of being in a car crash and dying. (Which I guess leads to the spoiler: this was the distinction I was trying to make. That you can't just draw a conclusion from only looking at the former, which is what that 1% figure is. You need to look at the chances of getting the disease as well.) I updated the quoted source.
It doesn't ensure at most two parties. The UK has at least four major parties: Conservatives, Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, and then one or two other smaller parties.
I always saw the "also giving it to the rich" as much more about avoiding the bureaucratic overhead, social stigma and other associated downsides of trying to ensure that only the poor get it.
Good luck with that. In this market stonks only go up.
This is the one of the two biggest flaws in most macroeconomics. They act as if the national economy is a closed system. Of course, if wages rise too high, (in addition to automation) the products the wages were producing can be produced in other economies and delivered as finished goods. Immigration is of course another violation of the closed system model, where labor flows to places with higher wages. (The other biggest flaw in macro is treating the economy as an undifferentiated GDP factory)
> For everyone else, this won't reduce the insurance costs at all.

It will likely raise it to subsidize things, somebody else has to pay your premium... Companies are never in the business of making less money.

If you have the opportunity, try comparing your ICE experience with a manual transmission ICE.

Many modern ICE cars are effectively fly-by-wire with eco-junk-softwware in between the accelerator and engine.

Manual transmissions would likely not have the lag that you're experiencing, but I definitely recognize what you're saying w.r.t. torque curves.

I'm not challenging ICE v. Electric, but instead attempting to clarify that there is quite a wide variation in ICE-behavior that is less present in a manual transmission ICE car.
Sure, and that's why we try not to let people with altered states of consciousness or with unpredictable rationality (children) drive.
I wonder how insurance mandates interact with this trend. When the state requires insurance, but insurance requires disclosure of all movements, what recourse is there? It seems the only party with an interest in privacy would be the purchaser who just wants to drive to work.

This sort of "outsourcing of standards" is really disconcerting.
Minimum wage laws aren't important. Forcing companies to classify freelancers as employees or gig workers as employees is harmful and leads to less work available.

If you want to meaningfully create leverage for laborers, you need to ensure their livelihood is not dependent on being employed. A negative income tax or some other form of UBI would serve better to accomplish this goal.

On the flipside, providing all the basic needs of living to someone can potentially lead to a large drop in labor supply and create its own problems.
The healthcare system isn't running at the red line. Almost all hospitals have adequate capacity. Most healthcare providers are still working shorter than normal hours. So your concerns are unfounded.

Yes, the example we're discussing is very contrived and over simplified. Notably, I'm implicitly assuming "perfect information" for both parties for simplicity (spherical cows and all that). There's lots I'm glossing over because this is an HN post, and I was responding to the specific claim that an employer's ability to avoid bankruptcy without filling a position gives them the ability to fix labor prices such that the labor market is not free.

Only if Western Digital was dumb enough to kill the golden egg laying goose. If I were they I would try to keep the Hitachi manufacturing just as it was when they bought it. They do seem to still brand them differently than their own drives and charge a hefty premium and market them to data centers rather than individuals. For me they are way too expensive now. So for me the only Japanese option is Toshiba. I have had much better luck with Toshiba than with Seagate and would easily pay 25% or more of a premium to avoid Seagate. It is so sad because I remember when Seagate was a great and very reliable brand so many years ago.

The probability of dying given you have the disease (/car crash) is not what you need to look at. You need to include the chances of actually getting the disease (/being in a car crash) in the first place, is my point.

Why is it not OK to jog on the beach by yourself? You don't seem to have an answer for that.

Don't allow large gatherings? OK fine, I might object to this, but I can see the other side at least.

Not allowing individuals to do individual activities? That seems misguided at best.

After all, we do allow Ice Cream Parlors to be open, and outdoor seating at restaurants where you sit in close proximity to other people who are not wearing masks... how is that better than jogging on the beach all by yourself?

They aren't better, and none of this is actually about safety nor is it about "Flattening the Curve" anymore. We flattened the curve long, long ago.

> Virtually all the people who died of covid were fat

This is true, but mostly because virtually all people are overweight or obese. At least, the link you provided cited that 74% of critically ill Covid patients in the UK were obese, while it turns out that 64% of the UK is already in the overweight/obese category anyway.

Masks are still probably a more effective way to prevent critical illness from covid than exercise.

It makes no sense to compare AAPL to TSLA.

Apple's P/E ratio (35) is less than Amazon's and about the same as Google/FB. Apple's FY2020 revenue was nearly $300B, so $2T market cap represents a ~7x revenue multiple which is...not crazy at all.

TSLA market cap OTOH, is Bitcoin-level speculation. Its P/E ratio is like 985.

Apple's valuation is mostly in line with its business (modulo Fed monetary policy and S&P distortion).

Tesla's valuation is pure hype.
