I think the solution is somewhere in between. There is a lot more cows today than there was 200 years ago. The negatives get compounded with CO2 and methane being released, plus the water and energy used to make beef over other meats or sources of protein is much higher. Though yes we did evolve to eat some meat. But the average American eats a lot of red meat and the average American has a less than healthy cholesterol level. So let's just eat less red meat. If we all cut down our red meat consumption by 50%, the environment would be much better off, we would be healthier, and we would still be able to get the nutrients we need from meat.

What do you come out of chess with?

I've spent a lot of time playing computer games, they sparked a love of history, geography, technology, new kinds of music, they've informed my taste and sense of humor, and helped me be more circumspect when it comes to life "strategy". Without the love of history, I never would have gotten into chess, either, but it is something I enjoy. At any given time, it would have looked an awful lot like sinking countless hours into one game.

Currently, jumping on a Discord call and playing with friends is an excellent substitution for social visit.

Everyone has hobbies, and personally, I don't think the specific hobby matters as much as pursuing something with the possibility of intellectual growth.
Based on how most jobs will get automated some form of an UBI will be required sooner or later.

Now the only question is: how to you phase in UBI while still rewarding extra productive people to keep creating/innovating?

Some will say "those people will innovate out of love". This is not always the case, many people are good at what they do and create many awesome things but given the chance they would rather do something less productive because on some level they don't like what they do that much.
Both firefighters and doctors are a relatively recent “invention”

So what? What does that have to do with anything?

you could say that... even sex-workers are more essential than doctors and fire-fighters.

You can say that, but you'd be wrong. That's the great thing about the internet. Anyone can say anything no matter how false it is, and they get to be on an equal footing with people who know what they are talking about.
My reference to relativity was to indicate that I thought it would lead to different conclusions than the Newtonian case.

As for the two images, it’s well covered on PBS Spacetime’s overview of the Alcubierre Drive from several years back that if a bystander were to observe a FTL craft traverse their field of view laterally, they’d indeed see two images, each heading in opposite directions, as you indeed allude to.
>Hobbyists enjoyed getting Linux to run on iPods, which was hard to do without the special knowledge and tools Apple possessed. We on the iPod engineering team were impressed. But Apple corporate didn’t like it. Starting with the iPod nano, the operating system was signed with a digital signature to block the Linux hackers (and others).

I'd like to know exactly why they were opposed to this, given that this was way before the App Store was a thing and there's nothing to protect otherwise.
Just posting in agreement. I've never been a fan of reddit, but have found myself lurking there far more often since the redesign (which admittedly is bloated). Old reddit was too wonky-looking and disproportionate for me to take seriously.

The weird thing about swype typing for me is how it can swing from hugely impressive to beyond lunatic in the space of a couple of sentences.

One minute, I'm amazed when I've swyped a sentence using some of my favourite slang words [or even made up words / nicknames etc] and found it's been transcribed perfectly. The next, I'm staring in disbelief as it inserts some completely off the wall term like 'albatross' or 'dar es salaam' for a really everyday word.

Bitcoin is 100% speculative. It has no utility. You can't build with it. The fees make using it as fiat prohibitively expensive.

I agree that it will likely go up. I'm actually in the process of testing software I made to predict and exploit its movement. But since it's just speculative, it will also eventually go down hard like it did in 2018.
> Should any single (non-state?) entity be this large?

I interpreted this as “should any non-state entity” have more power than the state?

My initial thoughts are that if the particular state in question is a working, liberal democracy apparatus, then it is probably best that it has more power than a non-elected, non-representative entity (whether or not said entity is for-profit, like a corporation, or non-profit, such as a church).
I'm skeptical that new retail investors are having such a big impact, but if there's data available then I could be convinced.

Probably on Gizmodo. Steve Jobs will be rolling in his grave.
even without the fractional shares mentioned by sibling comments, you can open a vanguard account and get a single share of VTI, which is currently $170 something. no other fees, or hidden weirdness or anything.

or get some bond ETF that has less volatility. the dividends will still exceed anything you get from a savings account.

or even just leave the cash in the vanguard money market fund. that won't even lose value, and actually pays interest.

This makes me wonder, I know Linux can run on some iPods, but did anybody ever run homebrew apps or games on the native iPod OS?
There are some significant features that have changed. For example, it's become a lot harder to pick alternative routes, it used to be possible to finely edit them. Also, I don't think it's always been this way, but sometimes when I chose a route in Maps on Android for my own reasons, it will revert to its own idea spontaneously, putting me on the wrong route. Another feature they removed is it used to be possible to tap the current big green navigation step to have it read it out loud, which was really handy, now you have to drill several taps down into "directions."

Combine it with the other annoyances, like it showing destinations and advertisements that have nothing to do with my search (including a persistent bug where they show up as results when they're not after a couple interactions), and not being able to chose a particular route and send it to someone (my carefully selected route gets ignored for its calculated route), along with the fact they can just change this under people's feet, and I'd be glad to switch to something based on open source/maps.

There's too much weirdness and manipulation in the market not to own stocks right now. Apple, Amazon and Google have all started issuing bonds. For Apple it's the first time they've ever sold corporate bonds. They don't need the cash. It's just that you can sell corporate bonds right now for below inflation so you may as well. As the below article notes they'll use the proceeds for share buybacks.

eg. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-pulls-in-pricing-joi...

If you're wondering who's buying 30year corporate bonds that have yields lower than pretty much any current inflation predictions, the US Federal Reserve has a new directive under the CARES act to buy into corporate bonds. https://www.marketplace.org/2020/06/16/the-fed-starts-buying...

If you are in a position to sell corporate bonds right now you can set the rates to well below inflation predictions and they will still sell thanks to government intervention. The real kicker is that the more this is done the more inflation will kick in making it an even better deal.

For the common person the only way to get advantage from this ridiculous situation is to own shares in these corporations that are issuing low rate bonds and buying back shares.

>Medicine is like car parts

Creating medicines is nothing like creating car parts. At all. There's not a single aspect of drug discovery, manufacturing, or distribution logistics that in any way resembles something as crude as producing unregulated widgets for automobiles.

You're simply highlighting how poorly you understand the pharmaceutical industry with this line of argumentation.
It made more sense at the very start, when many people expected that we'd spend 2-4 weeks doing only "essential" things and then we'd return to mostly normal life. But yeah, it became clear pretty quickly that wasn't the trajectory, and the required messaging shift never ended up happening.
"Staying healthy" can be done with zero equipment and no gym membership. If you think otherwise, then your goal isn't to "stay healthy", your goal is to show off at gym bunnies. And no, your showing off and vanity is not a choice you get to make during a pandemic. Tough.
I see. That's not at all what I thought your comment was saying.

Well, in a lot of states the legislature can do that today if they want. It's completely within state legislature's capacity to force action from municipalities, either directly or through the purse strings.

Most don't want to because they're publicly supportive of shutdowns. Or because they're publicly courting anti-maskers but privately know shutdowns are necessary and therefore don't want to take responsibility.
I believe the behemoth they are, they are working on their own. Underline hw layer is already extracted by phone manuf and amzn wants to have their own app store (salivating over how much aapl makes from theirs). You can pretty much build your own phone with needed os and apps. It just won't be apple store or google play compatible but it will be a working smartphone with all the same look/feel. Or buy out KaiOS? :) Alternatives are coming out of the wood works as of late.

I don't think it would be far stretch to start anew in a "new" country ripe for new beginnings. Particularly when their gov is blocking most apps anyways. Good way for Amzn to work into their system without offending their gov. Amzn is a company who will sell your soul to the devil for a penny because there is 7 Billion potential new accts. Btw they have already moved away from android on their Echo devices onto their own RTOS.

I know FB tried and failed to roll out and get adopted with their FB phone, but that's bc they are FB. At this point, failure is their only option. Unfortunately with 2 Billion naive users with no viable alternative, FB death will be slow although they did just provide a "take with you" option of all of your posts so.. may be speeding up? but again to where?
That's because the bank still expects the mortgage to be paid.
If I had a know security pin lock at hand, I'd check it out as have a few contact microphones that are perfect to delve into something like this. Certainly with spectrogram and zoom in after doing high quality recording and soon see what sticks out. Of course would really need a lock in which you have each type of security pin and a normal pin and change that one pin and compare several unlocking. I'd be supprised that there isn't some distinguishing aspect due to shape changes in the pin altering how it responds to vibration. Yes the springs will have some influence, a small scratch in the pin barrel would have a small nuanced effect that with with right measuring, would show up.
I'll put it on my winter project list, more so as it may open up the possibility of not even needing a working key and just inducing some sympathetic harmonic with the pin types to induce resonance that can be measured. Could be a fun winter this year.

It’s pretty clear why we’re all fascinated with faster than light travel (it makes the Universe feel accessible on our comparatively tiny timescales), but it’s also a sheer display of narrative obstinacy on our part that we continue to try to find loopholes in the rules of the Universe to allow something that so patently ain’t meant to be.

> And then from there, I think we can start to address other ailments like school lunches and the like.

No need to wait for anyone for fixing school lunches as this is squarely a financial issue, the key thing there is that cities need some form of politically untouchable budget for education - because as soon as it gets politically touchable, it's the first thing to be axed when a budget crisis looms.
I believe the parent comment isn't bemoaning the business practices of these landlords but instead addressing the unethical behavior of its patrons.
The group thing is real. Some people just really need the motivation from others being present or their perceived judgement to show up regularly. It's not a failing on their part, whatever gets you to the gym and keeps you going, but maybe work on your individual workouts during the pandemic?
One-legged bodyweight squats + whatever heavy things you have available (e.g. bottles of water) in a backpack should be difficult enough. If you care about "functional strength" then it's arguably superior than barbell squats. And one-handed pushups are good substitute for benchpress.
I spent quite a bit of time in Nogales, Mexico and ate as many tacos as I could get my hands on. Across the board they were far healthier than anything I can get from a fast food restaurant in the states. The tacos in (Sonora) Mexico generally consist of: Corn tortilla, meat, cabbage, onions, cilantro. Optional hot salsa.

tacos are not traditionally served in Oaxaca and are probably not a major contributor to obesity there. why say something so low-brow?
Could millions of people with muscle atrophy cause more economic harm?

Who cares? Why is "economic" harm so important?

I'm really tired of people saying "But what about the economy?" I really don't care. I care about my health and the health of my family members. If some artisan dog biscuit company goes out of business, so be it.
Personally, I'm less concerned about gyms. People in gyms are adults and can theoretically stay 6-ft away from each other and wear a mask. I've seen high-impact classes like kick-boxing being held outside in parks for better airflow. Driving activities underground however, has well understood unintended consequences of causing violence and disregard of health rules, as we know from prohibition in the 20's and the drug war since the 70's.

The uniquely American issue, is with bars and clubs being closed. In the land of big houses, everyone knows someone with a bar in their backyard or basement. Keeping bars closed now, when everyone is fed up with the social isolation (sorry, Zoom doesn't cut it) just means actual underground speakeasies serving alcohol aka house parties. Where dedicated gym rats aren't drinking alcohol at the same time they're at the gym (it hurts gainz), and are can be more responsible for their actions, people on alcohol can't. I'm not saying that to excuse drunk people's behaviors, what I'm saying is that trying to get drunk people to stay 6-ft apart and wear a mask is an exercise in futility.

Since people are gonna be drinking anyway, especially during a pandemic, and a recession, and in the face of great uncertainty, and on the cusp of a presidential election, what's needed is to open the bars, but require patrons scan-in via phone app using the bluetooth-based contact tracing (PEPP-PT), or else face suspension of liquor license. By making it required at bars, you get around some of the privacy issues since those that don't want to, can just not go to bars. Using bluetooth-based tracing gets around issues of using GPS-based tracking, and also helps amplify the effectiveness of an under-funded contact tracing corps by providing a technology based solution.

This is imperfect, but perfect is the enemy of the good, and even done imperfectly, contact tracing can very successfully drive Re (the local effective value calculated from a diseases' R0) down below 1, at which point the disease doesn't continue to spread and the pandemic can be controlled. For a disease like COVID-19 with an R0 of 2.5, it doesn't take too much to drive it down.

Aside from self driving, what new technology will enable this mode of transport that wasn't possible before? In other words, why weren't underground buses deployed in the 70s?
Introverts vs extroverts. Humans are social animals. Socialization is a basic human need. It is much harder for some people to stay inside and not socialize than others.

We are now on month 7 of being told to not socialize or see or do anything. I continue to obey the orders, but I totally get why some people are starting to crack.
Interesting, I'd only heard of that happening in other countries.
That many people willingly moved to OSX? Why? Was it a graphics company?
My concern is that if we can't trust the government to create a healthy recommended diet, how can we trust them to ban the correct foods? Their incentives seem to be more in line with propping up producers of large scale cheap pseudo foods with big lobbies than finding an actual healthy diet.

Hey! :)

Thank you so much! Lovely to hear that you're interested in backing us!

To answer your questions:
- We're definitely interested in porting Quell to VR later down the line. However, we chose not to for now, because our users just don't like exercising with it. They say it's cumbersome, heavy, sweaty and unsteady.

- The game is a fully-fledged story-based game with RPG elements. We totally agree that it's absolutely key to have this, to make sure our users love exercising with Quell, and don't get bored of it!

- P2P is also in our plans! It's not going to be one of our first features, but we're working to make it happen later down the line - it would be super exciting.

Let me know if you have further questions, super happy to reply :)

"Essential" is probably the right word, but I think "urgent" has a more accurate meaning. People urgently need groceries, being unable to buy groceries for a few weeks would be a big problem.

Some of the people who work in grocery stores commute via bike/car. Their bikes/cars will probably keep working for a while, but after a few months to a year they might need to visit a shop. The need for bike/car repair eventually becomes urgent.

Though, I'm not sure where hair salons fit into this framework. Most people have the means to cut their own hair, they just won't like how it looks.
Lockdown doesn't mean muscle atrophy. You can still do a lot at home even without equipment. Besides, if you want to continue to assume it causes muscle atrophy, then compare a population with muscle atrophy to a population with (likely) permanent organ damage due to a vascular disease (covid).

You’re right, I’m an economist, not a doctor. So I look at the world in terms of trade offs. And the trade offs western societies have made with this virus are so unlike the trade offs made with any other infectious disease in recent memory that it makes me concerned about what the new trade offs will be going forward.
Yes, I'm suggesting that their viewpoint might be biased by their expertise -- not that all with expertise share that same bias. I have some Apple devices for exactly that same reason.
