The author's point is valid - innovation requires more knowledge as the tech that required less knowledge gets built. Today we face the "dual phd" problem, tomorrow the tri.

Obviously that is not sustainable. If society is to continually innovate, you need to stop building innovative systems and start growing them. One approach to this is true AI; not improving your NLP algorithm by 10% with 3x the math complexity IE the transformer model (quote taken from Michael Stonebrake, although he was referencing database research), but by building math that can grow math.

Hell even math is becoming a road block (try integrating THAT Bayes!). The point is as long as we must learn to build, we will run into a wall as humans have finite lifespans and don't scale horizontally (nor do they want to). If we build something that we can feed or point to un-wrangled, raw information into such that it can learn on our behalf, we might have a shot.

Now BACK to pumping out small improvement papers, innovators!
Fair point about the bins and a "data driven approach" to premiums. But I think you overestimate how much "you could save" by giving away your driving habit privacy. Most auto-insurance trackers are currently offering discounts "of up to 15%" if you qualify as a "good driver". Seriously, that's like what $40 on a typical 6 month policy? And you have to drive perfectly at all times, no speeding ever, no rapid acceleration, no sudden stops, etc. All of that is being tracked. And you most definitely cannot get in an accident at all.

Even with your good driving habits, you are still subject to randomness equally on the road at any given point in time. Your demographics and "bins" aren't going to make the roll-of-the-dice any different for you. Driving is a random series of events and you can be caught in a situation that is your fault (legally) just the same as anyone else on the road.

This move is nothing more than a company trying to make extra money by selling your private data. It's the new business model of the information age, and all traditional companies are looking at new ways to extort your privacy for the sake of profit.
I wanted to know what happened to him after that. Were there any repercussions? Is he still there?

Right, to protect against delayed broadcasts this system requires that the receiver have a reasonable clock. If there's only one frequency of signed key distribution, then it has to be very high frequency, and the clocks can't suck too much. This can be ameliorated by having a second, lower frequency signed key distribution schedule (basically: every N) that can enlarge bad clock tolerance.

Starting from scratch, with invalid time will make the device susceptible to attack, but if this is a rare event then it hardly matters because attacks should be detected by other devices ("herd immunity"?), but if there's a sufficiently low frequency key distribution schedule then a user can validate that the time the device got from Galileo seems right.

Sure, I meant a "reformed" EITC, but my point was to compare it to a UBI/NIT. It would absolutely be more desirable to remove the employment requirement and perhaps even increase it by at least 3x.
Your smartphone already knows your driving habits. Mine likes to remind me where I parked my car. (It knows because I connect it to the Bluetooth music player).

I honestly think regulation is the only solution here.
>And finally, calls to return to normal represent a narrow minority of the population. In fact a majority of Americans are worried about the virus, a majority wants schools to remain closed, and a majority think we opened back up too soon. If we’re talking about “popular will”, then we would be talking about extending shut downs, not ending them.

Do you have a source for those numbers?
Yeah I had a paper in review at Nature Communications for two years, so yeah. Reviewers can ask for complicated follow up experiments that take time to do.

I don't see why software not having this is apparently acceptable. It's just disorienting to have line jumps. That's not how the real world works.

Modern Linux software is pretty good at it (GTK, Qt) as is much Windows software. However the only git GUI I otherwise enjoy using that has it is Sublime Merge.
Maybe the metric they're judged on is "connections" (Taking a hint from that memo in the sibling comment) not sales or even users.
I dont know about the Marriott family of brands specifically but I would image like most large companies in this sector they have a Mix of Franchisees and Direct owned properties.

Hilton Certainly does under several of its brands.

This Franchise model does not change my statement really at all, as it is far different model than what airbnb has
> device must have nfc capability and be connected to the desired wifi for programming

How does that work? Does the user have to open the Wifi settings page on their phone, tap on the correct SSID, and then tap their phone on this NFC device?
> you don't have to accept. When you find a better offer, you go to the better offer.

What if there aren't better offers?

> As for minimum wage, it is hurting the unskilled workers, like high school students, college students who are looking for experience.

The article shows that there isn't conclusive evidence pointing to employment destruction with minimum wage increases.

> If you think you worth more, then proof it, don't blame the system.

If the market can get away with paying less than your worth, it will. That's precisely the point of my argument: companies have more power than workers to negotiate wages.

> When I was in high school, I was working in an unpaid internship to get some experiences. I don't know if there is any unpaid internship now or if it is even legal now.

Don't you see how unpaid internships can be harmful? If you need experience to have a nice job and unpaid internships are a requirement, it means a "forced" period where you are working without income. People without savings won't be able to take those internships and have those better jobs, further locking them in poverty.
Out of these three, I think one one goes as far as do so boldly, loudly, and on the record.

Of course I do. For as long as I have a dime of moral judgement, and integrity, I will. Spawning Laden, Qaeda, other tinpot outfits, funding rogue dictatorships of Bashirs, Sisis, Gaddafis, committing the unspeakable barbarity of 9.11 attack, and effectively breaking the world as it is, for the last 20 years.

If you can link up some sort of route(s) to deal with range-anxiety / weather, and can criss-cross the country, you're in business.

Once your route is built, it's straightforward to manage capacity/flight-plans (reservations / networks / routing), and then you move directly to demand-generation, but you'll have a real tough time competing directly with coast-to-coast direct flights.
Do they lease them? I got the impression that it’s closer to a franchise model (for all major chains)
If UBI means giving everyone 18 and older $1,400 per month (like in this trial) then it is simply unaffordable and unrealistic, even for Germany.

If this expense is compensated by extra taxes on individuals then it is pointless.

If it means making sure that unemployed people receive a guaranteed minimum income then it already exists.

If it means merging all benefits into a single one then it is just a simplication and also already exists, e.g. recently in the UK.

UBI, as in 'everyone gets a payment', only makes sense if there is a source of wealth that does not depend on people to tap into. That's why it is often discussed in the context of massive automation, because then it has merit (basically robots work and you receive their 'wages').
It's interesting, but would be much more helpful to include the number of confirmed cases and deaths so we can see what % of the population had COVID and didn't have it confirmed.
Thank you for the feedback! Widely supported is clarified more on the footer of that section, and also in the FAQ. We'll take a look at making it more explicit though, I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. While being a technology product, our main customer focus is not to technical people, and therefore need to strike a balance between too heavy technical terms and details and getting our value proposition across.

iPhone's from iPhone 7 and up are supported in setting up the Wifi block, and iPhone X's and above support the guest functionality of tapping to connect to Wifi.

Most Android devices created from 2018 and after are supported. A good way to know if your device would be supported or not is whether or not you use Android or Apple pay.

Thanks again for taking a look and your feedback!
I must have been thinking about another territory rather than Guam. It looks like unemployment was counted before the pandemic for the US territories and after the pandemic for states.

A top notch camera is not "a couple hundred dollars" on a BOM. Google Pixel 4a costs $350 for the whole device and it has a great camera, more than enough to serve as a webcam.

You need a 2.1 MP camera to get 1080p, which the vast majority of laptop webcams don't do. The last time you could get a 2.1 MP main camera in any half decent phone was probably back in 2015. Laptop makers just didn't care, it wasn't a priority for most users before Covid.
Part of the problem is that they'll have a lot of the smart features still enabled and have horribly slow interfaces for everything to switch inputs or bug you for a wifi password every time they're turned on. It's not a fun experience sometimes.
Producing food makes more sense. Certain types of food is very cheap. Housing and real estate though, it seems is much more expensive and difficult to provide.
I don't see how you can contest that they're both products and that they can both kill people if they're defective. To me these two similarities are plainly true, and it is only these two similarities that are material to my argument.

I might misunderstand, but the direction your argument seems to be heading is that the free market is somehow incompatible with products that have complex failure modes or that can be defective in subtle ways, and that the FDA is thus necessary. Is that right?

Sorry others are downvoting you, I know exactly what you mean. My SO and I are age 24 living in a relatively high-risk area for theft and accidents. But we both live within walking distance of work, and since covid hit, we're not driving hardly at all. Our insurance doesn't seem to care.

We pay close to $300/mo for insurance. What a crazy prerequisite to participate in modern society. Imagine if all that money went towards building a train/subway network instead.

Some quick Googling tells me there are ~2.5M registered vehicles in America, and the average cost of car insurance is ~$1,400 / year. That's $2Bn/yr we could be spending on public transit, even ignoring the costs of gas and car purchases.

EDIT: Found an article [1] claiming that personal transportation costs accounted for $1 TRILLION in spending in 2018.

Oh they do. A lot. And they complain about it on the Internet too, a lot.

But also, as a parent, I am kind of inclined to hear and accept that my kid being noisy or something is sewhat disrupting other tables. In all honesty, sometimes it disrupts me.

I am significantly less inclined to accomodate randoms whose issue is completely made up problem with phone or tablet during hotel breakfast. I do not care at all. I use tablet to make hotel meal pleasant as opposed to disciplinary issue, for me and for people around other tables. These people don't have problem or pain, they are making up problems in their heads.

It is just that part that makes this complain particularly dumb. Of course public situation is when you are much more likely to use phone. And of course in grand scheme of things it does not matter at all. It is one of millions situations you solve in one way or the other, nit exactly queen visit.
> When was the last time you saw an ICE with both a trunk and a frunk?

Seconds ago -- there's one in my carport :-) (A 1993 Toyota MR2; it's mid-engine. The frunk is small, and completely filled by the spare tire and aftermarket stereo amp.)
>You're forgetting the standard deduction: $12k for an individual. This brings taxable income to $18k. Per https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf that puts tax at $1,929, so $30k becomes $28k after Federal income tax and not $26k.

A fair point. I'd point out (again) that many folks earning minimum wage don't get 40 hours/week. What's more, once you add in health care costs, not to mention any children or other dependents, that extra ~$175/month won't go too far.
Just think of the synergies.
And how many people complaining are Musk/Tesla fanboys...
It varied and we're seeing more cases in the EU coming out of the lockdown. Hell, NZ went for total elimination and they got more cases (possibly due to freight?)

When this is over, I bet the entire planet will have rates similar to Sweden. My theory is lockdowns delay the inevitable. We should protect the most at risk (95% of fatalities in the US are ages 55+), but we also need to realize there is no way to really stop a virus in circulation.

I wrote a while back about how we just need to come to accept our life expectancy is just lower now:

Fair point.

I was addressing the comparative risks of delivery vs (presumably the same worker cohort) offering sit-down service. Delivery is a net reduced risk exposure.

That still leaves the net cohort differential, pre-Covid to Covid, of (shared-workspace, public-facing) essential service workers, and work-from-home office and profesional workers. That's a real concern.

I'd identify concerns as both those of fairness and net commonweal. I'm willing to sacrifice choice in consideration both interests, at least during exigent circumstances.

Commonweal demands reducing net risk. This means both maintaining work-from-home policies for those capable of doing so, and providing delivery and bulk-service preparation (foodservice, manufacture, delivery, etc.).

Keep in mind that whilst the pandemic is worldwide, it is not felt equally in all locations. This makes geographic arbitrage onnthe basis of risk possible: manufacturing and services which can be exported from quarantine zones should be. The resulting downtime can be mitigated via social benefits.

Safety measures can and should be implemented in workplaces. I'm well aware that this is often not the case.

Differential unavoidable essential risks borne by one cohort can be compensated by others, through raised wages, tax hikes or credits, or other financial means.

The possibility of "immunity passports" has been suggested from early in the outbreak. It's still not clear that this is realistically an option, but there are 15 millions worldwide and 3 millions in the US who've recovered from Covid at this writing. That is a sizable potential high-exposure workforce.

And finally, there is the option of mandating rotations in high-exposure roles. This most directly addresses equity, and might build community through common bond, shared experience, and sense of collective risk and responsibility. Sort of a Covid Draft or Covid Lottery.

Would any of these address your concerns, or do you have additional suggestions?

Whilst Google avoided confirming anything, I believe the actual fabrication was probably done through Cypress Semiconductor, before Skywater Technology Foundry spun out of them. The foundry and Google have a long and ongoing relationship.

The state is likely to see this as a positive anyway. Insurance companies can bill this as a major boon to law enforcement, traffic regulation, parking violations, and of course think of the children.
squeezing juice out of an orange is a level of refinement. You are reducing a whole food to separate components, much like pulling iron out of ore. It's weird to think of it as a refined food but it is to a degree.

I wouldn't classify it as a processed food, but maybe that's where people conflate the terms.

I don't readily see any mention in your first link. Your second link says:

Sip warm liquids. A cold remedy used in many cultures, taking in warm liquids, such as chicken soup, tea or warm apple juice, might be soothing and might ease congestion by increasing mucus flow.

I'm not disputing that warm liquids help. The thing I take issue with is your claim that the warm liquid is all that really matters and you can just use hot water and it's superior to consuming stuff with sugar etc.

Ironically, right below the above quote of your source, it says as a separate suggestion:

Try honey. Honey may help coughs in adults and children who are older than age 1. Try it in hot tea.

There have been no reports of either Google or Apple selling personal data to a third party. It is against there privacy policies and stated intentions. Google certainly collects and uses your data for it's own ends, but unless Google starts selling auto insurance it's not particularly relevant.

Apple claims to go to extreme lengths to anonymize data collected from Maps. Any information about locations visited is kept locally on your iPhone. Whether you trust them or not, it would be major news if it where found to be otherwise.

> N95s are still quite difficult to find here in the US.

Yes, our government has been incompetent all around. That's a bad thing.

If the country can't gear up production of masks to fight a pandemic, why am I supposed to believe we could do anything of meaning competently? I know I'm a lot less impressed with our military's readiness if we ever get into a real war than I was a year ago. We've shown we're very good at throwing money at fraudsters and very little about actually producing things we need ourselves.

We also seem to care very little about over a million deaths, if we go with something like a 0.5% fatality rate. Puts the reaction to 9/11 and the whole "how dare you disrespect our troops" racist reaction to athletes protesting into perspective...

I don't understand the people who go from "wow, we've handled this badly" to "we might as well never try anything again," though.

That should be the motivation to start paying more attention, from local politics all the way up, not give up.
Of course actual policy is difficult, and complex. UBI or guaranteed income would seem to be the better way to give workers more leverage, but for that one needs to accept that we indeed need to give workers more leverage. You'll see in this thread a lot of people arguing that less regulation will somehow lead to better wages, when in reality that will only increase the power imbalance between workers and businesses and push wages lower.
>Am I the only one who sees the normalization of the mask as contributing to those who are rioting?

Please, just no.
And the rich are so few that you wouldn't save much by exlucding them.
> Absent state welfare style support many low wage (min and sub-min) jobs would simply not work, people could not feed themselves, and they would not accept the jobs.

Given the choice between nothing and less than adequate pay, they would accept the jobs to buy a little more time to find something better before starving.

They wouldn't be sustainable, but without public welfare people are going to grasp at what straws they have, not turn away something when they have nothing.
