I have already address most of this so we are just talking in circles, as it is not the government that protects my property rights, this is point I dont think we can get past as you seem to believe that government is the source of rights and I do not.

Under no rational ethical foundation of cooperative society would anyone have the right "to walk into a shop and take whatever I wanted to" that would not be a civilization at all something you seem to inherently recognize but still insist using this straw-man to advance your flawed view of rights

The argument about Real Property(land /natural resources) is a better one, and one I am actually sympathetic to but this argument was not one I ever used to support my position, in fact I am very much a Georgist and do believe that land & natural resources should be "owned" by humanity collectively and I have ethical problems with the foundation of homesteading.

That said this discussion was around wealth generated not by land but by labor, if you want to fund a public healthcare system under a Georgist single tax system then I would be amenable to this discussion but taxing wages is theft of labor, it is akin indentured servitude and there is no way to get around this fact. However in modern society no one suggests such a public finance method, the default go to funding model is theft of Income, either personal or business. I can never support such an unethical system
To be fair if we don't control this thing you have a near 100% chance if catching covid at some point in the next few months. Assuming we have an effective vaccine in 6 months you would then have a near 0% chance of catching covid again. This works out to the lifetime chance of death being the IFR. So between 1/1000 to 1/100 (depending on which study for IFR you look at).

If we don't develop an effective vaccine then given immunity seems to be temporary (as with other coronaviruses) most of us will catch this every year so a really high proportion of us will die of covid eventually (where eventually is in many years).
It is also _much_ easier when you're called in for that purpose. Someone who didn't get that mandate on hire will be considered troublesome and overstepping, while someone roped in for that reason will be innovative and an enabler.

How is this different from the TSA for protecting you from terrorists? Or how is this different from the Internet and freedom of speech censorship for protecting you from child porn.

Reality Check: It's not different. People should stop from thinking they have a higher moral ground. Nobody does. On the other hand, on a free society, you should not be able to strip people from their freedom, regardless. People should be able to decide if they want to die from Coronavirus or live a semi-paralyzed life in fear. If you are that concerned, then you can confine yourself at home until everything is over.

Also humanity and evolution has a coping mechanism called natural selection. Helping people through medicine is a good idea but I think we are stretching it too much. In a few hundreds year, everyone will be walking on earth on a space suit.

Resilience is unnecessary in countries with a safety net. Are individuals in those countries who make the rational decision to save less somehow worse off than those who have to carry a large savings buffer to guard against misfortune?
I think it is a bit unfortunate that the conversation has completely derailed. The article wanted to talk about prohibition and how it doesn't work (it just makes the product unregulated and sometimes dangerous, either it be a gym or drugs), and the discussion here seems to go on and on about mask wearing and social distancing. I'm sure we've all seen this discussion before.

This has not been my experience at all. I used to have a membership to my local gym for my wife, myself, and their childcare program (basically watch your kids while you exercise for 1 hour).

I cancelled that membership and instead put that same amount of money into buying equipment at home (where I have enough space for it) and it only took me about 5-6 months to get enough equipment to replicate about 90% of my routine from the gym. Now I also don't have to wait in line or spend the time travelling to/from and I can exercise whenever I want. For me it has been way more effective.

And when I'm done using the equipment it's not going to go in the trash, I'll sell it in the local classifieds.

This, 100%. The author says how difficult it is for multidisciplinary teams to come together when they don't understand each others skillsets--but the same applies to the investors themselves. When you start talking about these complicated ideas, there comes a point where unless the investor is involved in the industry they're investing in, they simply won't understand the true impact of it.

My company is trying to raise capital now, and that is the exact problem we're running into.

There's a reason for the "janitor as a service" unoriginal ideas--because they're easy to understand, so more likely to be funded. Those kinds of investors are looking for the buzzwords, too, "as a service," "cloud," "social," "AI" that cut off ideas that aren't strictly consumer-facing and infinitely scalable. If you have a modest idea that requires a modest amount of money and targets a modest group of people, you're just not going to hear back from investors. This causes people to have to wrap their idea in buzzwords or lobotomize it into something that allows them to achieve their true goal in a sideways manner.
Confidential S-1's are reasonably new (2012) and limited to "emerging growth" companies. But yeah, I imagine most S-1s discussed on HN take advantage of that provision.

Even toyotas sold today have cellular modems that track your location, it's called "toyota safety connect". There is no obvious way to turn it off either.
Indeed. Apple’s linker will automatically sign code, and it seems third party tool chains will be able to do so, too (at least, that’s why I get from the phrase “which includes signatures which are now generated automatically by the linker”)

One problem area could be running old unsigned x86 programs. It seems users will be able to sign those, but I expect most users wouldn’t know how to do that.

> The strongest anti-min-wage argument is that a UBI/EITC is the better way to guarantee a minimum money floor

EITC doesn't guarantee a minimum anything since, as the name suggests, you need earned income to get it and you get more of it with more earned income, to a certain point.

It's true that NIT, which is equivalent to UBI, was the inspiration for EITC, but EITC is a NIT through a carnival funhouse mirror.
The problem is that the downclocking affects other cores. So a performance improvement in this one task can hurt performance on other threads, which is what happened to me.
>> Textbooks state that, in the absence of a minimum wage, a worker is paid his “marginal product of labour”, which means the value of what he produces.

This sentence is just wrong. First of all a rational actor will not intentionally pay a worker the value of their production; you get no profit.

Textbooks actually say that a worker will be paid no more than the marginal product of labor, and if labor is in short supply, they will be paid very close to their marginal product of labor. If there are a huge number of workers willing to work for $5/hr then workers won't tend to make even a penny more than this.

Information asymmetry and differences in negotiating power will further distort this, but the initial premise is already a strawman of basic microeconomics.
> Soon: our company's insurer now requires all employees to install this exercise monitoring app on their phone!

Not soon. My employer already offers a 10% premium discount program, but you have to take part in a monthly "healthy living" program that encourages you can hook in your smart phone/watch/etc (you earn "points" towards your discount, not doing so hurts your point totals and you need to do something else privacy invading instead).

It is operated by a third party rather than my employer, but that doesn't protect your privacy in the broad context, just protects you from additional workplace discrimination.
I would certainly value that piece of paper at $50 but apparently you value it at something less than $5 because you are willing to accept $5 for it. I haven't a clue as to why you would value it at less than $5, perhaps you get some entertainment value in giving away money?

This doesn't seem like a particularly helpful illustration.
Another dark pattern is hiding the price until you are nearly booking the place. Most people want a cheap stay close to where they need to be, so they look on the prices on the map, which fail to include fees which can be all over the place depending on the host.

The improved ss output mentioned in the paper has helped me immensely tracking down what was limiting the upload speed from a corporate net to AWS. Turned out no middleboxes were to blame, just a misconfiguration in nginx (receiving side) limiting the http2 send window (sender side). Yes, http2 has a separate send window on top of tcp. Yet another source of errors.
> Years? No.

It depends a lot on the area. In math it is common to have a looooooooooooong review time, sometimes years if you are unlucky. In sane areas the time is much shorter and you can start to get impatient after a month without updates.

>That rising spending R&D is not indicative of much more R compared to dedicated research labs.

R&D are not binary options.

I know in some fields a massive amount of published papers are coming from corporations, and I suspect if I could find data on it that the percentage of peer-reviewed publications from corporations is much higher than in the past.

Certainly in various CS and math disciplines I work with, corporations have made massive inroads.

You're trying hard to push at a possible loophole in the rise in spending, but without evidence that more spending was not spent on what you think it should be, it's sensible to assume it was actually spent on increased R AND D.

Otherwise, for every conjecture you can make without evidence, I can just as easily make the opposite conjecture, and neither has been demonstrated.

Take a few moments and try to source some good evidence - I looked at a few directions and didn't find anything one way or the other, except that spending has increased.
I would consider the construction of housing, sanitation and public health to be "general infrastructure", but if you prefer a different description, I won't argue. It strikes me as a bit of a moot point anyway, because the obligations to improve its workers' living conditions are clear and those obligations were not met. It doesn't matter whether you want to call them "infrastructure" or not.

That's not a lot of bioinformatics programs that I'm seeing. A lot of bachelors programs seem to focus on teaching almost exclusively the basics of BLAST and all it's boring related algorithms (basically everything in this Coursera course[0]) and their mathematical foundations. Master's programs sometimes are a bit better with a hint of ML, but ultimately most people I've encountered there are still awfully unequipped to tackle ML problems and transfer the advances from mainstream ML to biology/biochemistry problems.

That seems a weird statistic to seek out, because your conclusion would then be "...and we don't try to avoid getting in car crashes to avoid that 0.5% risk of death". Which is wrong, we do and we should try to avoid crashes.

Oh really? Croatia couldn't afford to lose the tourist season. As a result the number of cases is skyrocketing. The daily reported cases are much worse now then were at the time of the first lockdown. (see koronavirus.hr for the graph).
Correct. It's enhanced risk pooling. It's not extortion of one company uses it, it's absolutely extortion when an industry requires it, and states regulate it be adopted.
> but I'm not aware of any definition of "free market" which supposes that all players have equal leverage.

You'll find it in the same chapter of the textbooks that state “that, in the absence of a minimum wage, a worker is paid his “marginal product of labour”, which means the value of what he produces.”. This is also called “perfect competition”, and you won't find a textbook to say that the marginal cost equals the marginal value without summoning this hypothesis.

> They still have not come clean for their initial mask guidelines that was blatantly wrong

I don't think they were. There is a 2013 study that shows cloth masks would be ineffective at preventing spread of respiratory illnesses, and posts by UIC Health early on that said they weren't necessary (which they've added a notice to). I wrote about this here:

https://battlepenguin.com/politics/secondary-effects/#masks-...

Fauci originally said masks were not very useful (quite convincingly I might add) and then turned around and said they were. When pressed, he said he was afraid of health professionals running out of PPE. He admitted he made a noble lie. So if he was lying then ... how do we know he's not lying now? How do we know he's not pushing masks because it's causing political strife and fear? After all, his wife has a major role at the NIH for approving emergency drugs and vaccines, and Fauci has vested interested in big pharma. You cannot trust a liar and he admitted to lying directly to us!

In Canada, a man was pepper sprayed at a Tim Horton by a cop for not wearing a mask. Another man refused to wear one, went home, and the cops came to his house. The resulting altercation lead to the cops fatally shooting him. A woman with a medical notice in Melbourne was choked by cops and arrested (granted she did flip them off instead of handing them her note like she should have).

Masks have really torn everyone apart, and have been used as a big source of shame. By mandating them, you break the social contract, and you're asking people to accept certain beliefs, for which there are 10+ scientific papers published on both sides of the fence. They make it harder for us to "see" one another. The hurt our trust because we evolved to depend on facial expressions. And if they don't do very much as far as preventing spread of infection, than they might even cause more harm than good. Am I the only one who sees the normalization of the mask as contributing to those who are rioting?

There are plenty of nations and States within the US without mask mandates and we see similar infection rates based on population density. In the end, I think they'll end up being a political statement. Nothing more, and everything less.

No one is saying you shouldn't work at a job where you think it is unfair compensate to your skill sets.

What I am saying is this, if I think I worth $50/hr and the only offer I got after 2 months of searching is $10/hour. If I desperately need some income, I will take the job and continue my job search. $10/hr is still better than $0. Next job offer may be $30/hr. Then the next one may be $50 or $60.

No one is forcing you to stop looking or improving yourself while you are at a job don't value your skill sets.

I do work from home, and my 10 year old is doing remote learning.

There are many benefits to remote learning, and I know it will come as a shock to people who buy into the 'kids need to socialize' group-think, but the 'socializing' they do in school tends to be very limited in time (a couple of 10-15 minute breaks on the playground, talking at lunch, disrupting classes and not listening to the teacher), and then there is the problem of bullying and cliques of students excluding 'non-conforming' students. Mental health at school isn't handled well. Fairness is out the window. School shootings are growing exponentially.

https://www.ecori.org/public-safety/2019/9/7/us-school-shoot...

Schools suck.

I'd rather my child get his socializing from extracurricular activities with peers he knows and gets along with than dealing with the failures of our educational system.

This article decries remote learning and offers nothing to move the conversation forward on what WOULD work. The author makes no point at all other than complaining about how her child can't sit still. And I'm saying I bet her child can't sit still in a physical school either, so its not about remote learning. It is because suddenly she has to be the one to deal with it instead of the teacher hidden away in a school building. The author wants to paint a picture of how bad remote learning is, when really it's just not suited for her child. It works fine for many other kids.

>for comparison, I make quite a bit more than $15/hr, but $2100/month is pretty close to what it costs me to live a nice life in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in my city.

What's your monthly healthcare premium? What's that, your employer provides that for you?
Mine is almost $750/month. That's just for me.

What's more, as I pointed out, many folks earning minimum wage don't get 40 hours/week. As such, their income is less than the numbers I stated.

To go even farther, it's not so much about $15/hour or any other arbitrary figure. It's about whether or not someone can support themselves (and their dependents -- I didn't address children or parents or other non-working folks in a household, let alone the costs of child care if all adults need to work to pay the bills).

If the current minimum wage doesn't allow for that, then the government (that means you and me) has to subsidize those folks.

in the end, it comes down to how we choose to deal with this situation. Do we require employers to provide a (theoretical, remember many don't get 40 hours a week) living wage, or do we as a society pay to subsidize those employers who don't pay enough to allow people to support themselves?

But the issue goes beyond just the dollars and cents. The hoops that many government programs force those who need help to jump through is often demeaning and tends to dehumanize people. What's more, those programs have overhead too. The costs of administering these programs need to be considered part of the subsidy to employers.

Haven't tried it myself, but while it seems Gravitational is focused on SSH and Kubernetes use-cases, we've built Twingate to support a wide range of protocols and use-cases across the organization.

We use Kubernetes internally and we use Twingate to securely access internal tools (Like ELK, Grafana, as well as SSH) without having to expose public IPs or worry whether they get hacked or DDoSed.
Before Twingate we had to spend a lot of effort to make such tools accessible securely.
